Enjoy the next 24 hours!

Pfp by me!

Hello! A few things about me!

Pronouns: she/her

A few fun facts:

I like Minecraft, a friend of mine runs an Origins Server which has been dubbed the Villains SMP. The modpack has since been updated from the initial version, so there’s a few more mods now. I don’t remember all of them. When we do get the ball rolling on everything, I will be uploading on youtube! 

I like a bunch of different games like R6S, CSGO (which I don't actually play much for reasons [looks at my play time on the origins server according to minecraft] We don't mention that.)

On another note, I’m a member of the Foolscraft server. As a note, this is not associated with Foolcraft, which Etho and other probably fairly well known minecraft CC’s were on. The server was named before any knowledge of that appeared. The server is called Foolscraft because Admin didn’t want to name it Clowncraft and have people think there’s some kind of circus theme. It’s a handful of us being fools, in Minecraft. Hence the name. There’s about a total of a dozen braincells guys. We have the barest of bones of intelligence.

SO I haven't been alive in a hot minute. I don't know if I'll be here for a hot minute

Alas, I am vibing, and have a few updates I guess?

Got adhd-d. And medicated. and a little murdered by homework. started a few things, abandoned a few other things, started drawing more I guess, got really dragged into a few hyperfixations all at once, started knitting again, and got really mad about economics and I think socialism sounds fun.

started therapy. Started watching good omens, and I finally hit season 5 of the magnus archives. Got a seasonal job, figured out what I'm gonna do for a bit, and I think I'm happy. This'll still be pretty quiet, if you want more activity you can go take a peek at @thelocalconstellation where I usually lurk about. I don't post much about games, or projects, but I post a lot more abstractly I spose.

Consider this a checkpoint. I'll come back eventually, probably once or twice a year to kind of showcase I'm still alive, and doing things and one day maybe I'll start streaming. Can't do videos or anything yet until I move out since I doubt I'll get past Quality Control but I post more about art stuff over on my main, and sometimes I say things about refraction

TOMORROW IS HALLOWEEN!!!

[vxpo]

Tomorrow is March 28th

[auran-404]

Fun fact about shriekers in minecraft! If you fly near them with an elytra they will scream. Did you know that? I didn’t know that. WHICH IS TERRIFYING.

[auran-404]

Oh shit! I’m still alive!

Sick, but alive!

Rediscovery has been put on hold for a hot minute, as I organize my life and schedule, and I may start doing it every two updates, just to progress faster and not spend too much time on updates with very few or minimal changes

On a completely different note, I am participating in an event set up by my friend Tree, with five others.

Premise is, is that everybody gets a small starting kit and a beacon they must protect. After the beacon has been placed, it cannot be moved. The coords of your beacon will be shared after a certain time period, and you have to balance trying to protect your beacon and killing off the others.

We’ve immediately split into three pairs. I’m doing stuff with my friend Mayo, who makes me immediately worse. In short, in the 10 to 15 minutes we were given, our beacons are on the nether roof now. E and Geo have set up in an ocean monument, and the final two are doing their best to have a lovely time to build a house.

[auran-404]

I didn’t have time to play on Rediscovery world 2 :( 

on another note my shaders don’t take conduits into account so it’s kind of interesting

[lunacias]

“just…bring her back safe, okay?” 

[auran-404]

in a discord server with some of my friends there’s a bot that reads prior messages and makes new sentences based off of that and we’ve named him manny anyways he’s determined to insult me at every turn, or chime in with the occasional “Kill them” which. Is incredibly rude. And I don’t have the heart to be mean to him he’s like a small child he doesn’t understand what he says :(

Anyways he was asked “Why don’t you like (my name here)” and he responded with a link to the cuss word song

[auran-404]

I have found a specific genre of music which I can only describe as angry classical or also, sometimes, people who should not be allowed to make sheet music are making sheet music.

And I generally don’t like classical, too calming but the absolute chaos I have discovered is amazing and I love it

[auran-404]

I FUCKING DIED IN MY HARDCORE WORLD OH MY GOD

I FELL INTO THE SPIDER SPAWNER

I HAD A SPIDER FARM SET UP. AND I WAS TYRING TO GET RID OF THE STUPID SPIDERS IN THE CORNERS. AND I FELL IN BECAUSE APPARENTLY SPIDERS CAN HIT YOU THROUGH BLOCKS. AGH

FUCK

[aquilacalvitium]

Okay fuck it if this post reaches 666k notes by the end of 2023 I'll practise basic self care

Why 666k? Because it's funny and impossible so good fucking luck

[lizluvscupcakes]

Well, OP, I’m officially invested in this shit. Your whiny ass is doing self care if I have to drive to your goddamn house and do it for you.

[aquilacalvitium]

By Talos this can't be happening

[oysters-aint-for-me]

reblog this everyone i wanna see what happens when op’s reverse-hubris forces them to practice basic self care.

why? because it’s funny and completely possible actually so good fucking luck op

[tungsten-moon]

I figured out roughly how many notes it's been getting per day and multiplied that by the number of days left until the end of 2023

If we keep it going at this rate we'll be far past 666k

[aquilacalvitium]

IMPORTANT

Okay so clearly I've underestimated y'all

So how about we make this more interesting?

I will practise self care if this post reaches 666k BY THE END OF 2022

[moonlarking]

Op you have fuckethed with the devil this post has gained 30,000 notes since I reblogged it last night

[headspace-hotel]

Reblog to throw a hedge apple in OP's driveway

[theleakypen]

What the fuck is this eldritch fruit? I'm in.

[headspace-hotel]

It's Maclura pomifera, commonly known as the osage orange or hedge apple. It is known to be native only to a small area of Texas and the edge of Oklahoma and Arkansas. Before the invention of barbed wire, it was pruned repeatedly and shaped to make dense impenetrable hedges to contain animals.

The fruits are inedible—not poison, they're just hard and taste bad.

The wood is super-strong, burns hotter than any other wood, and is ideal for making bows!

[laineysbucketlist]

We should just fill this post with other interesting things as reasons to reblog it

[lord-angelfish]

Actually I like this idea, we should do that. Here's my fun fact contribution; actual old English, what one could call Anglo-Saxon (as opposed to, for example, Shakespearean English, which a lot of people call old English but is actually antiquated modern English), is a Germanic language, and modern English shares a lot of roots with German because of that. It was also, at one point, written with runes.

The hagfish is a deep-sea fish speculated to be related to lamprey. It exudes a strange goo that is believed to be used to clog the gills of attackers. This goo has been found to be a very good substitute for egg whites in cooking.

[dragoninthelabratory]

Blood can be substituted for egg in general in some recipes!

[headspace-hotel]

I have some very evil meringue ideas

[frogsinbogsonlogs-deactivated20]

Did you know that corsets actually aren’t as harmful as they’re advertised to be? Women wore cloth under their corsets so it wouldn’t imprint on their skin, and they don’t cause any bone fractures nor injury - in fact, corsets are highly beneficial for posture and support the breasts. They’re also tailored to the person so that they’re never too tight or loose. The idea that corsets were patriarchal tools to force women’s waists tighter is completely untrue. Arguably, one may even say that corsets were advertised as harmful simply because of sexism - women were gaining too much independence over the fashion industry and certain influential men weren’t very happy about it.

Take care of yourself, b/tch.

[headspace-hotel]

I've heard that corsets are actually better than bras for your back if you're well endowed.

Witch’s broom is a kind of plant deformity that occurs in various woody plants, like trees. It has a few different causes: disease, fungal infection, and the horror that is dwarf mistletoe. It causes branches to grow in tangled balls of twigs, instead of the normal branchy shape. 

Here’s an example. 

Now, the cool thing is that you can graft a some kinds of witch’s broom onto other trees, and it’ll corrupt them as well. The new trees start growing more broom. Some people exploit this to grow pretty little dwarf conifers.

[headspace-hotel]

The "cool thing" is like a horror movie for trees

[auran-404]

okay gonna be real here guys. I’ve just decided to look at a timeline for the updates, and 1.1 added. Spawn eggs. Which... just don’t affect me at all actually, this is a purely survival series. So I’m gonna skip it. Besides, this way the version actually matches up with the update, so. 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you think this is cheating no it’s not be quiet

[auran-404]

the dragon has perished

And it only killed me 11 times! :D

[auran-404]

hi there were complications so today is the day I end up starting world 2 lol

yeah we’re gonna go fight the dragon, see how that goes, and t h e n we tackle the next update

[auran-404]

I HAVE THE LAST TWO EYES OF ENDER!!! :D

Anyways so I may or may not complete the murdering of the dragon, depending entirely on how time works

[auran-404]

So! 

Two days before I move onto the next world for Rediscovery how are we feeling lads

Lemme tell you. I got whacked in the face by so much IRL stuff :/

So I probably Will Not be able to go slaughter a dragon. But you know what? I had a lot of fun even just running around and building my house. And trying and failing to kill endermen. And even setting up a poorly set up and barely functioning semblance of a blaze farm. 

But you know what? The goal has never really been to defeat the dragon in each update, if I wanted to do that I would have just speedrun the game. 

It’s to run around and have fun and learn. And if I don’t kill the dragon then we’ll boot up a second world in creative just to see what the fight is like, because I don’t remember. Either way, fuck it, we ball.

[auran-404]

“I probably Will not be able to go slaughter a dragon” she says, before proceeding to kill a half dozen endermen, find the stronghold, and then be two eyes of ender away from being able to go to The End

Yeah maybe I will kill a dragon. If quadratics don’t murder me first

[auran-404]
