“What is it that the child has to teach?

The child naively believes that everything should be fair and everyone should be honest, that only good should prevail, that everybody should have what they want and there should be no pain or sadness. The child believes the world should be perfect and is outraged to discover it is not.

And the child is right.”

— Rabbi Tzvi Freeman

“Westerners are fond of the saying ‘Life isn’t fair.’ Then, they end in snide triumphant: ‘So get used to it!’ What a cruel, sadistic notion to revel in! What a terrible, patriarchal response to a child’s budding sense of ethics. Announce to an Iroquois, ‘Life isn’t fair,’ and her response will be: ‘Then make it fair!’” –Barbara Alice Mann

Ive never really met anyone that thought of ribs as interesting… that’s such a shame. Ribs and the things they do are fascinating…. I think about them everyday.

How I felt about RW Vanilla vs Downpour.

I feel like Downpour takes on the opposite side of trying to take control over your life.

It's about trying to reach the status quo and the brutal realisation that some things cannot be brought back to normal, no matter how hard you try.

Curiosity Question about the most recent My World au post/comic!

Since in standard Minecraft Piglins are scared of/avoid Zombiefied Piglins, was Iggy being really brave in that regard or was there a different reason Iggy routed past them?

She is being brave! But also-

She's had some experience with zombification. Not to mention she still hangs out with Glen, who often returned from the Overworld with slight growths so much so that there's a permanent one on their hand now.

So she's still afraid, but desensitized enough that she's not outright repulsed like everyone else. Glen had a similar experience themselves.

FIGHT!! Or flight...

The Illager and Piglin forces clash as the Raiders try to keep the horde away from their almost completed portal, and as the Piglins try to recapture the one Villager- further convinced of its value as a resource from how its been helping the Raiders... but suddenly....

I love seeing people dissecting how Eridians being ambush predators and humans being persistence hunters ends up affecting how Grace and Rocky interact and I think this goes for what they think is “cute” about the other.

Grace coos over Rocky “loafing” because to him that’s a sign of rest, trust, and vulnerability (even knowing full well that Eridians sleep on a pin cushion with everything spread out). Eridians probably take being low to the ground as a sign of aggression- like you’re trying to hide and get the better of them.

Rocky loves Grace’s bad dance moves because to Eridians, being splayed out and making yourself as big as possible is trust, rest, and vulnerability. He’s making himself well-seen. But if Rocky ever tries like- walking on two legs or shows his underside to Grace while walking Grace freaks out because on EARTH, making yourself big is the sign of aggression.
