Chat they made Minecraft into a silly goofy cringe movie even through Minecraft is actually about life and earth and the universe and tearing meaning out of the ground and molding it with your hands into something that you can be proud of. They made the pink sheep look ugly and funny for a cheap laugh when it should’ve been a beautiful moment where you, age eleven, come across this rarity, this beautiful anomaly and you hold its face in your hands and stare into its chocolate brown eyes and you realize what the whole world is about. Chat they made it into a joke
cannot begin to describe how much i LOVE when people GET ME about this art piece. the hotbar is fulham's. not a top runner, sure, but still a known runner in the community and the analyst for ranked playoffs. he definently knows what he's doing. he has experience like any other runner and like everyone else he's just there to do one thing: Kill the dragon. there is no animal in sight, there is no threatening beast in sight, there's only a goal of complete the run and the only threat is losing it.
(and @skallyeen because i am also showing ur tags off but not reblogging from ur reblog)
I REALLY LOVE WHEN PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THIS PIECE. the hitboxes, the hotbar- the fact there's no armor, not a single food piece in the hotbar, the pearls, the what looks like random assortments of items to anyone not well-versed in speedrunning, the one single bed in the hotbar because the rest are in the inventory because you can pick block them — i LOOOVE when people notice this and point it out and word it in their own ways and point out that This is more than an experienced player, it's a speedrunner. yesss yes yes yes yessss yessss yesss
YES!!!!!! THATS WHAT IM SAYING!!! what if you were forced to see your own death time and again and see your last remaining child be orphaned and left unhatched time and time and time and time again. it's an unbreakable cycle. you can do nothing but either refuse the zero cycle rng or the perch rng, but even that won't last forever, because you have to perch at some point. you can't stop it. you can't end it. the cycle only ends when there is nobody left to play the game
( @nullcasting @'ing you because i like collecting all the very long rambly tags i enjoy in one reblog chain) yessss yes syessss. exactly. imagine someone knowing you better than you know yourself. where to hit you to hurt you the most. the player can see the hitbox and uses it to their advantage every time. jean, the dragon, nothing but a target to kill, a means to an end. there is no mercy to be had, without the dragon dead the timer won't stop ticking.
exactly!!!! there's no exp in the exp bar because prior to entering the end they hunger reset. they know what to do to not waste time when they need their health and hunger back so they don't die in the end
It's 3am but I am LOCKED IN to these minecraft art pieces. I love love when there's so much detail and symbolism that everyone can share in and find something new to discuss. The amount you think about this game shines through in a very good way. I really want to be able to create something as intricately crafted with passion as this!!
This is probably our cosmic punishment for relying on such a shady platform. But still: I have this whole year of data? Just sitting there? I'd like to do something with it?
First the classic Stats for Spotify
Or Instead: Obscurify
Or: Instafest
mine cuts off weirdly for some reason, but my computer is ancient so that's probably it.
this is apparently slowly happening with anything made by another company but distributed by netflix.
they're apparently pulling all dreamworks originals and have already pulled a lot of the ones that are spin-offs of movies. like, they're gone. already. with little to no fanfare.
and that means the original-originals are next, like Voltron, but eventually also things like Tales of Arcadia (Trollhunters), Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts, Camp Cretaceous, and yes...even She-ra
it seems like dreamworks is trying to migrate exclusively to peacock, but looking at their animation slate it seems like only new slows are premiering there, not the old ones discontinued by netflix.
i also wouldn't be surprised if this ended up happening to sony films that ended up being put out by netflix, like Mitchells vs the Machines or Vivo. not to fearmonger on that one though--there's no concrete announcement of any of that leaving--but animated films like The Little Prince, which got a theatrical release overseas but a netflix distribution in america, have already quietly vanished from the platform. what's next?
yes, it's laughable that voltron is the first on-the-map animated original getting pulled from netflix (talk about bittersweet) but like. the lost media pile is growing at an alarming rate. even if they move the shows to peacock (and that's a BIG if), how soon until they get sacked there? their run is complete. they're old. they're not as popular as they used to be. if it's not profitable, they're not going to last.
anyways, physical media is a blessing and worth hoarding like a gosh darn dragon. or like a giant robot lion. whatever floats your boat
@immaplatypus didn’t mention this, but there’s still plenty of time to watch/save kipo & she-ra, unlike voltron. the dreamworks originals that are on netflix are under contract to be removed 6 years after their final season airs. this means that she-ra will be around until around spring of 2026, and kipo until around fall of 2026.
you can download all episodes of voltron here, and she-ra here. unfortunately, i don’t have an easy way to get kipo, except for torrenting (which i did myself, but the series might be in too high quality to upload, unsure though).
you might be able to ask @lawfully-abiding-citizen to rip it off and put it on mega near or before it’s at risk of being removed, unless they’re busy with higher priorities on a related list of shows to do that with.
This is what I mean when I say that you should always save your faves on a physical external device. I don't care how safe you think your favorite show is on a streaming service, this can happen at any moment without warning. But, if it's on something like a flashdrive, you don't have to worry about this happening. Since there seems to be some time before something happens to shows like She-Ra and Kipo, I'll keep those on my later list but this is abysmal and I feel like I'm going to start to bite people.
if thriftbooks doesn’t have what you’re looking for, especially if you’re looking for it used/cheap, alternatives include betterworldbooks and discoverbooks.
Other tips for cheaper books is checking amazon and scrolling down to the “buy used” or “other sellers” section and then checking to see if those sellers have storerfonts off of amazon.
There is also a good chance that you might have a local, indie book store that likely also has a used book section! Indiebound might help you find those book stores!
Also, check out your local library, sometimes, they have a for sale section or might have certain times of the year where they do massive used book (dvd, cd, etc) sales to fundraise!
(It’s also worth checking directly from an author’s or publisher’s page and seeing if they have other places they sell their books. I know this is about cheaper/used books, since some of y’all aren’t built for piracy or the library, but also if you want to dodge supporting amazon AND want to more directly support artists you support, there’s a good chance they might have alternate ways to buy the books!)
as someone who works in an independent bookstore, alibris is the best for supporting yr local bookstore! abebooks is now owned by amazon. thriftbooks is great also just doesn’t usually support independent stores.
Select a powerful entity to pledge yourself to who'll cherish you and transform you into something inhuman
Lord of the winter fae whose blood flows with the snow of winter
Angel warlord from a heaven whose creator has long since abandoned
An insectoid scavenger that feeds on dead gods below the sea
An androgynous vampire girl trying to restore the kingdom her brother usurped
A djinn possessing a supercomputer posing as a sentient AI
The lord of all rats who wears a paper crown and weilds a cardboard sword
Lich who controls the largest library in the world
Demon with countless eyes who owns more souls than any other being on earth
Mushroom lord whose power lays deep below the earth
Eyeless witch whose power reaches deep below the sea and into the night sky
Living clothing made of liquid metal that whisper strange secrets into your ears
The abyss at the edge of time and space.

Look under the cut to see what meeting your entity is like. Reblog to give a gift to your patron.
The fae: a creature stands before you. Though this street was warm and crowded a few moments ago it is suddenly cold and the people around you look like shadows. The creature begins an antlered shadow with glowing white eyes, but soon its body can be seem, with white blue flesh, and sapphire eyes, and icicles for teeth. What looks like a cloak unfolds from its naked body and you can see massive white wings of a moth. As if it's an act of sacrifice you tell it your true name, a name you didn't even see before, and suddenly you belong to it, for better or worse.
The angel: a radiant entity appears before you. They're bright, like something so hot it would burn you up. But as the light fades, you can see a person in silver armor, perfect yet inhuman like am ancient green statue, their back srouting six wings with blue eyes along them, as the eyes on their head are covered by a mask of two smaller wings. The creature offers their hands and you shake it, as they fly you through the city streets and above the skyscrapers, to the stars above and dimensions beyond, to gods living and dead, across the streets of alien cities and the clouds of dead worlds. And when you return to the earth you can feel something diffrent about you, like there's light in your blood.
The scavenger: below the lights of skyscrapers beyond you, on the dark sands of the beach, you see it crawling twords you. This serpentine creature with countless legs, and a dark black shell, yet a strangely human like face. You think it'll attack or run away, but it just looks at you, egar, and for a momment you stare at eachother. It's legs pass something to eachother and then to you, it's meat but it's shining with all the colors known to the human eye, and a few more. You hold it and it happily looks at you. You take a bite and suddenly you know... you know so very much...
The vampire: she flies down to you on green wings with orange eyespots, but folds them into her back. She looks like a human for a momment, tall and strong, with a black suit over her body, but eyes the color of ruby. For a momment her mouth opens, and it's massive and monstrous, with countless moving parts and fangs. But then it folds back onto something humanoid and she gives you a playful smirk. She cuts her hand and offers you her blood, and when you drink it it tastes so sweet, and makes you feel so good. She hands you the knife and you know to do the same, and when she drinks from your palm it's life the sweetest of kisses.
The djinn: the room wirs around you. If it were not for the fans it would feel like hellfire. For a momment there it darkness, but then the screen before you glows white like smokeless flame. You can sense something inside, something beyond the code. You reach your hand within it, and there's no glass, your hand passess right through until you're in a white void of your own making. You call out, thinking there is nothing at all around you. Yet somehow something calls back, something that knows your name.
The rat king: You see him in an empty subway station. Something dark and distorted, you're not sure if he's man or animal, covered in rags, and singing in the language of the goblins and the orcs. Yet he comes close to you excited. And you can feel his song. He calls for you to come to the train tracks, and let yourself run with the rats and the roaches, where the train will pass over you when it comes, and you'll live forever. When you touch the third rail you don't die, but you'll never be human again.
The lich: the library is strangely bright. Run by skeletons in suits, decorated with gold. There are more books here then you thought were in all the world. There's knowledge here most mortals will never have the change below, all kept safe below the city. You see her, her body doesn't look human, everything has been replaced making her look more like a joining white doll then a being of flesh. Yet she is dead, you can tell that under the porcelain skin she must be dead, she is dead, and there is the tragedy of death in her eyes. You come closer to her, and she places a black rose within your hair...
The demon: You stand in his office and he stands before you, a humanoid being covered in black scales, with red eyes covering his skin. Yet none are on his head, that remains featureless save for two massive horns. Wings on his back nearly surround you. Countless souls line the walls of his office, looking at you, waiting. After you sign your name you give him yours, you can feel it come away for you forever and your eyes grey and your skin pales. But he puts the jar in a special place for you, you're spacial, he can tell there's something about you that he likes.
The mushroom lord: you walk through the darkness of the forest, the furthest from civilization you have ever been. You come upon a part where the trees all seem dead, that even the cryptids won't go near. Mushrooms fill the ground, and white vein like lines are all over the trees. You feel the need to lay down, and you let the moss and the mushrooms and the worms surround you, and let yourself sink into the soil,, and it feels good. It feels so good...
The witch: You can see them in the Cafe next to you, skinny and small, with a sweatshirt over most of their body, and dark glasses over their eyes. They seem powerful though, and though their body looks young they seem ancient, they seem beyond humanity. You talk to them and they tell you things, and secrets, lost gods, things you never knew you didn't know, both beautiful and disturbing. When it's time for them to go they pet your head, and give you their number. You don't know if you should text them, but you have to, you have to see them again, there's something about them that makes you need to know.
The living clothing: you step into it at first, it looked like a puddle yet shining like silver or chrome. But soon it surrounds you, first just your torso, but soon your head, your entire body. But it doesn't feel scary, it feels like you're being held, held by something beyond your understanding. It whispers to you, and you don't know if you should feel like your being eaten alive, or like you're being protected. You can't help but keep walking.
The abyss: the void is before you, blackness beyond blackness, like the color beyond the field of your vision, stands before your eyes. You stare at it, it's nothing yet you're entranced. It stares back...

As I grow older I feel my capacity to understand that Miss Piggy is not a real person reached a peak in my adolescence and is now on a steady decline. I watched a Wendy Williams interview and there's this part that's like "can we get a ring cam!" and Miss Piggy shows her bling and I'm just like fuck she's so iconic. Miss Piggy who are you wearing? Miss Piggy have you ever considered running for office??
Like literally every time I see Miss Piggy there's a period where I need to readjust to the fact that it's not a person, and I feel that period is getting longer and longer with every instance
It's not just the audience; professional journalists, hosts, and actors report it is legitimately difficult to not see the Muppet as a person, and it is, in fact, incredibly easy to interview or act with them once the performer gets properly set up.
this has been a very longstanding issue - before the muppet show was even a thing some muppets appeared in commercials, such as rolf the dog
they had a continual problem where when people directing/shooting the dogfood commercial would give dirrection to rolf that they would be speaking to the muppet, to which rolf REPEATEDLY had to tell them ‘i cant hear you, you have to talk to him’ and point at the performer underneath him
rolf is one of the most embarrassing muppets to need this direction as the performer is this, damn, obvious when not on camera
‘sir, i am a bathroom mat, the man you need to talk to is back there’
I did an interview with Gonzo one time, and when I got into the Zoom call, it was the actor on screen trying to figure out his audio. And then once he did, he went like “OKAY!” and then just like dove to the floor and it was Gonzo and there was never a moment when I doubted that the dude was just Gonzo’s tech guy
