hey there, id like a blog with a side of minecraft obsession and also tag ranting. currently avoiding college life via minecraft. yes i hate peanut butter. go ham wild with pronouns [sideblog]
hey if you play multiplayer minecraft 1.19.1 i would highly recommend installing this mod because mojang has decided that players can report you now and they can literally permanently ban you from using ANY multiplayer functions. if you get multiplayer banned you canât play even on a private friend server.
and if you play public multiplayer servers you know false reporting is going to be a huge problem -_-
this mod removes the cryptographic signature from your chat messages, meaning they wonât be tied to your account. if running as client only the mod will simply refuse to send your accountâs public key to the server and will strip signatures
Build idea inspired by where I live: an eternally burning forest. Ashes and firecharges raining down on the player, you notice pockets of forest growing thinner and burned patches growing thicker, then you see the massive trees burning, burning that doesn't stop, burning that covers the forest in black and flame
with rare disease day coming up, i want to say a little about some of the obstacles that i have faced specifically because of the rareness of my disease. i am the 64th case in recorded medicine of my condition.
i do not feel safe naming my condition publicly due to its rarity. as in, this is my most well-documented disability, meaning that it appears on all my medical paperwork and my disability paperwork. my employers all know about it, and how rare it is. my mom tells everyone who will listen about my condition. i've had to tell pretty much every medical professional i interact with all about it. for that reason, if i were to name it online, anyone who rode in a lyft with my mom, or any pharmacy tech who's ever processed even unrelated meds, or my irl former boss, would immediately know it was me. i don't have any privacy about my condition irl. i'm visibly disabled, and it is very hard for me to avoid the kinds of assumptions that people make about my body.
i have to be an ambassador for my condition to every doctor i meet. they look at my chart, and ask me what that name means. i have to explain what it is, how it works, what the impact is on my life, what causes it, and what the treatments are. this includes with specialists in the organ system it effects, because...
because there are no specialists in my condition! there is a specific research hospital that has treated some patients with my condition, but even the doctors who treated me there were actually specialists in a totally different disease! i was actually nearly turned away from their clinic because my tests were negative for their actual specialty, and my mom and i had to repeatedly explain that no we weren't there for that, we were there for one specific doctor that had done some research ten years ago on a condition that nobody else in the hospital had even heard of before. again, being an ambassador for my condition that i was hospitalized for, on the verge of dying from it
insurance. my condition does not have an insurance code. insurance codes are used to approve treatments for each disease. for example, if you have the code for iron deficiency anemia written in your chart, then you can get approved for iron infusions. but there isn't a code for my condition. so when i became iron deficient due to complications of my condition, they couldn't approve me for infusions until my iron deficiency became severe enough that it could be diagnosed as full blown anemia. they basically had to list one of my complications as its own condition in my chart, because at least that had an insurance code, to get me in to see any doctors at all.
medications. medications in the USA, where i live, are protected by patent and developed to be shared on the free market. that means that if you don't have enough "consumers" for your medication, there's no demand, and therefore no motive to sell it. when a medication was developed for my condition, that improved QOL and helped slow progression, it was never even submitted to the FDA, because there was no demand. this means that not only is this medication not listed as covered by literally any insurance company, but it is not produced commercially. i have to order a thirty day supply from a "compounding pharmacy" where they make the medication custom for each order, and then ship it to me every month. i have to pay out of pocket for it every single month.
being a specimen. frankly this part doesn't bother me, because if i can contribute to research, then hopefully other people won't have to suffer from it like i have, but part of my treatment has always been participation in research. i make living tissue donations, where whenever biopsies are taken to check progression/if my meds are working, i donate extra to be used for research purposes. when i die, i plan to donate my body to the specific research team that wrote the one paper on my condition that exists. but there's not much research on my condition at all. when i met with the research team, they gave me a ton of materials for the more common condition that i do not have. i'm worried that when my current doctors retire or move on, nobody will continue the research, and my condition will remain difficult to treat and mysterious to medicine.
i have a condition that i will never see in a positivity post. i have never met another person with my condition, and i don't ever expect to. there are no support groups for people with my condition, no discord servers, no facebook pages. but i'm not in this alone. there are lots of people who also have "case study level" illnesses (illnesses that aren't common enough to do larger scale research on). and hopefully with healthcare reform and disability activism, we can lift each other up.
I straight-up havenât laughed at a hermitcraft episode this much in a long time. iskallâs episode is SO funny. deciding to put ren, iskall, stress, hypno, and mumbo in one call together is a genius move because they are just constantly feeding on each other more and more. they just gave ren a funeral together this is SO FUNNY I CANâT STOP LAUGHING.
A big thanks to several anonymous contributors, @sudden-memory-loss and @cerealisafunbath for helping with some of the quotes and blurbs!
I drew all 26 Hermits in less than three days and I'm still going to have to draw a couple more when they get revealed at the start of the season... so watch Hermitcraft.

[Impulse has submitted a request for â$2000â for reason âVanâ]
SUPERVISOR: Hi boys. Pleasure to be working with you. Can you give a better reason than âvanâ for why you need two fucking thousand American dollars?
IMPULSE: Oh, sorry sir. We just need to replace some things in the van.
GRIAN: By which he means everything in the van.
SUPERVISOR: You lost ALL YOUR EQUIPMENT?
IMPULSE: Youâre new, arenât you, sir. Have youâŚmet Scar?
SUPERVISOR: I have your personnel files. What does this have to do with Scar?
GRIAN: Oh, youâll find out.
IMPULSE: Our last supervisor just sort of, uh, approved things. Iâve got receipts.
SKIZZ: Weâre at the school, guys! Stop chatting and get in there!
IMPULSE: Gotta go!
[crackle]
GRIAN: Okay, so Scar, Impulse and Skizz are in the building. So far weâve got the power turned on but no clues. Thereâs a spooky sort of bonfire in the main hall. Got skulls on it.
SCAR: I lit the bonfire!
GRIAN: Breaking news, Scar has lit the bonfire.
SUPERVISOR: Why did you light the bonfire!? You could draw the attention of a ghost!
GRIAN: Yeah, Skizz, why did you let Scar set something on fire? Pretty irresponsible.
SKIZZ: [noise of incoherent outrage] You try stopping him, buddy.
GRIAN: Canât, Iâm in the van. [further noise of outrage from Skizz]. Impulse is reporting EMF Level 5âdidnât anyone set up cameras? What kind of team doesnât set up cameras? Weâve got a new supervisor to impress.
SUPERVISOR: Cameras should not be set up during a mission! You should have set them up in the daytime!
IMPULSE: We could use some cameras.
SKIZZ: GRIAN, YOU GET IN HERE, BUDDY.
GRIAN: Okay, okay, fine! Iâll get the cameras.
SUPERVISOR: Why are you risking the whole team in the building at the sameâ
[Scar has submitted request for â$5â for reason âglowsticksâ]
SUPERVISOR: Why on godâs green earth do you need glowsticks!?
SKIZZ: Scar, those donât do anything.
SCAR: They keeps you safe from ghosts!
SKIZZ: What, because theyâre too cool for raves?
SCAR: I want glowsticks or Iâm resigning.
SUPERVISOR: You canât resign in the middle of mission!
IMPULSE: Haunt! Everyone quiet!
SUPERVISOR: Wait, a real haunt? Thatâs highly dangerous! Get out!
[crackle]
IMPULSE: False alarm, that noise was Skizz and Scar frying hot dogs.
[Scar has submitted request for â$1â for reason âneeds saltâ]
SUPERVISOR: Not approved! Youâre not supposed to fry hotdogs on an eldritch bonfire!
SKIZZ: We were hungry!
GRIAN: Wait, you guys have hotdogs in there? Iâm coming in.
IMPULSE: Oh, waitâwaitâyep, thereâs the haunt.
[crackle]
GRIAN: Well, Scarâs dead.
SUPERVISOR: Oh god! What!
IMPULSE: I was wondering why they didnât get attacked. Just a slow ghost, I guess.
SUPERVISOR: An agent is dead and youâre joking!?
GRIAN: Oh, heâll be fine.
SKIZZ: I got some tarot cards here.
SUPERVISOR: Donât touch the cursed items! Find your colleagueâs body!
[crackle]
SCAR: I hate all of you. You left me to die.
SUPERVISOR: What? Just a goddamn minute. That was a joke? Agent Scar is alive?
IMPULSE: Scar, buddy, cheer up.
SCAR: Grian shut a door in my face!
SUPERVISOR: One agent impeded anotherâs investigation?
SCAR: Yeah! I was impuded!
GRIAN: What! How is this my fault! A ghost was coming at me and I shut a door!
SCAR: And killed me!
GRIAN: That sounds like a you problem.
SCAR: Sir, I want to file a complaint. About Grian.
SUPERVISOR: Well, put in a placeholder and weâllâ
[Scar has submitted file âgrain Complaintâ]
[Grian has submitted file âGrianâs Official Resignation Letterâ]
SUPERVISOR: Boys, this sounds like itâs gotten heated, letâs take it offline. Agent Scar, weâll look into this later. Agent Grian, put your resignation on hold.
IMPULSE: They do this a lot.
SKIZZ: Itâs affection. You love each other.
SCAR: I love Grian not murdering me.
GRIAN: I love Scar saving me some hot dogs. Oh wait, he didnât.
SKIZZ: Câmon, fellas, whereâs this ghost?
IMPULSE: We gotta use some of these cursed items.
GRIAN: I vote Scar looks in the haunted mirror. Anyone else want to volunteer? No? See, vote carried.
[Scar has submitted file âIm Resigningâ]
[Grian has submitted file âIâm Resigning HARDERâ]
[Scar has submitted file âNo your notâ]
[Last 3 requests have been denied]
SUPERVISOR: How on earth do you work with them?
[Grian has submitted file âTurbo Resignation Letterâ]
IMPULSE: Oh, me and Skizz have got a knack for it, sir. You just have to let them work it out. Or shut one of them up for the ghost to get.
[Last 1 request has been denied]
SUPERVISOR: Boys, this is sounding like a really dangerous situation and I think you should get out of there. Iâm calling a retreat.
SKIZZ: Gimme the mirror, Iâll try saying the ghostâs name.
SUPERVISOR: Did you hear me? Is this thing on? Saying the name is EXPLICITLY the one thing that is unsafe to do on missions!
GRIAN: Huh. Maybe we should have read the manual.
SKIZZ: Just let me do it, sir, we get results. Â
SUPERVISOR: Are you four always like this?
IMPULSE: Oh, no. Usually these missions go much worse.
SUPERVISOR: No! No, nobody is looking in any cursed mirrors! I have eighty successful mission supervisions under my beltâ
SCAR: Sounds uncomfortable.
SUPERVISOR: Our department has a clean record of no agent deathsâ
GRIAN: Oh damn, I knew I should have submitted our reports.
SUPERVISOR: And IâWhat reports?
IMPULSE: Donât tell him about the reports!
SUPERVISOR: Is this data right? You havenât sent in a report in⌠five YEARS?
GRIAN: One thing and another, you know.
SUPERVISOR: No! Enough! You are the WORST team I have ever worked with and every practice you have is UNSAFE and I bet one of you is looking in the cursed mirror RIGHT NOWâ
[crackle]
[crackle]
GRIAN: Scarâs dead again.
SUPERVISOR: [calming breath] Okay, you lot clearly have your jokes, like last time, but I need you to know thatâs not funny.
GRIAN: I can get a picture of how he ragdolled. His headâs on backwards. Itâs hilarious.
[Grian has submitted photo file lol.jpg]
SUPERVISOR: ⌠That ⌠that is a man who has been killed by a malevolent spirit! That spirit is deadly!
SKIZZ: Funny, the ones they send us on are always deadly.
IMPULSE: Get him back to the van.
SUPERVISOR: LEAVE IMMEDIATELY! I AM CALLING AN AMBULANCE!
IMPULSE: You donât need to do thatâ
GRIAN: Hey! Dots! I just saw dots!
SKIZZ: Yes! Mark off dots!
IMPULSE: Sweet, weâve got it! Itâs a White Lady! Letâs go, guys!
SUPERVISOR: Is anyone listening? Is anyone listening to me?
[crackle]
SUPERVISOR: Come in. Come in.
SUPERVISOR: I know youâre driving back. Answer your goddamn radio.
SCAR: Well, hello there.
SUPERVISOR: This is very serious. I have to report Agent Scarâs deathâAgent Scar? Is that you?
SCAR: The one, the only!
SUPERVISOR: You were dead!
SCAR: Oh, yeah, but then they brought me into the van and we left.
SUPERVISOR: Howâwhatâ
SCAR: I dunno, ask Impulse! Iâm usually dead by this point.
SUPERVISOR: Agent Impulse! How!
IMPULSE: Me and Skizz have been doing this a long time, sir. Guess weâve just got a knack.
SUPERVISOR: A knack forâa knack forâIâm going to get a drink.
SCAR: Toast our great success. Hey, hey, Grian, thatâs my hot dog. I died for that hot dog!
GRIAN: You werenât looking! Finderâs keepers!
IMPULSE: Careful of the wheel, guys, careful of the wheelâ
SUPERVISOR: Iâm never working with your team again!
SKIZZ: Yeah? I get ya, buddy. See you next week.
