important reminder that most people you follow online are significantly lamer than you think they are including me. and if you feel insecure comparing yourself to someone online: DON'T. theyre probably also lame and weird. most people on the internet are

[most-sane-classicist]

reblog if you're also lame and weird.

I'm ngl, the more I think about it, the more the DLC release update for MHSt3 feels like a "the game didn't perform as well as we expected it to, so we're ceasing development altogether now" thing.

I hate cigarettes so much I hate that smoking is becoming cool again I hate that we're becoming contrarian hipsters about this disgusting habit that has literally killed so many people and destroyed so many lives I'm so serious we need to become absolute killjoys about this again it's time to go 90s scolds on cigarettes until the scourge is wiped out entirely.

I know it's very common for winter to make people miserable or lethargic, but for me I find that it's honestly the opposite? winter makes me feel refreshed and alive. summer makes me feel like a slug being steamed gyozastyle. when the first autumn breeze graces my sluggy skin I will be rejuvenated and live forever

The recent hot VS cold polls have made me realise that a lot of people have no idea how to cool down.

As someone from a hot country that's regularly on fire, here's some tips:

WATER IS YOUR FRIEND! WATER! IS! YOUR! FRIEND! You can transfer SO much heat into this bad boy! You cannot cool down without water!

Wrists under the cold tap. Splash your face and the back of your neck. Fan yourself.

In some countries you can buy a little handeld fan with a water sprayer.

Damp tea towel around the neck. Stick an ice pack in there on hotter days.

Half fill a water bottle with water, stick in freezer. If you use a bottle with a straw, make sure it's lying on its side with the straw side up and out of the water. When frozen top up the rest of the way with tap water and off you go.

Desperate to cool off? Wet T-shirt. Sit in front of a fan. This will nuke it, just don't get hypothermia and don't fall asleep like this.

Cold showers are also your friend in summer. Some people get psyched up by these. Personally, I sleep like a baby, so I'm good to have them before bed. Just keep in mind that it takes a bit of time for the cool to circulate, so your body will tell you that you're colder than you actually are. I find that when I have cold showers I need to step out of the spray when I think I'm cold... I'll just wait, and thirty seconds later the temperature has evened out and I actually need to step under again. Rinse and repeat until you maintain coolness even after stepping out for a bit.

If you can't do cold showers, turn the cold shower on anyway and just stick your arms under. When they're cold, lift your arms up above your head. The sensation of cool blood draining into your body is fucking weird and kinda unpleasant but less unpleasant than being hot.

Feet in a tub of water with ice. Blood naturally flows to your extremities when hot, so take advantage of this. If you don't have a tub of ice water, sticking a wet rag on your feet in front of the fan works too, it's the less powerful version of the wet T-shirt.

Drinks lots of water but make sure that water has electrolytes as well. Stay in the shade.

Keep air circulating. Fans don't actually cool rooms down, they just help transfer heat from your body to the moisture on your skin or the air via evaporative cooling.

Block north facing windows early in the morning so the sun doesn't get in. If you're in the northern hemisphere, this is opposite for you. Keep in mind that if your home is brick, the bricks will still heat up and slowly release heat into your home even after the sun goes down so this will only do so much.

If it's hotter inside than outside, close all your windows but two, making sure they're on opposite sides of the house/unit you're in. Point a fan out of one window, making sure that the doors between the rooms with the open windows are all open. This will help create a mini pressure system in your home, pulling cooler air in and pushing the hotter air out via the fan. Bonus points if you can get that fan high up where the hot air rises; even within a single room the top is much hotter than the air by the floor. Adjust the amount of open windows based on how many fans you have, but generally you want more windows with fans open than windows without fans to keep the pressure correct.

Obviously, use your common sense for these. Not everything WILL work for you, just use the stuff that does and adjust what needs to be adjusted. Some of these will be impossible to use in the workplace but others you can still use. Others are best used at home. If humidity impacts your ability to use any of these, get a dehumidifier if that's an option, or use more ice instead of evaporation.

Also keep in mind that the skinnier you are, the faster these will work. More fat means more insulation, means more heat, so you may need to be more patient with some of these or use them in combination.

Bringing this back for my dying mutuals

[sepdet]

Get long hair off your neck.

ice tucked in a hair bun = great cooling.

Or soak a baseball cap or other cloth hat that won’t be damaged by water.

Water needs energy to evaporate. As it dries, it consumes a little heat in its immediate vicinity.

Therefore any significant amount of water — buckets, wet towels, damp laundry— in a small room can cool it a degree or two, although this doesn’t work as well if the air is already humid.

This principle has been used since ancient times, from wet blankets hung over doors in ancient Egypt to the “swamp coolers” of the southern U.S. before modern AC, to modern “evaporative coolers.” And, of course, it’s the function of sweat.

i hope everything works out in the end because i am so so scared

I respect people who can yap into the void endlessly, because if I don't get any feedback/engagement, I get discouraged and give up

I did some brainstorming on potential fauna for the OW solar system (mostly Timber Hearth) that I do not think I have shared here yet.

So without further ado:

Creechur #1 - a dragonfly type thing with superficial resemblances to a moth that primarily hunts fireflies upon maturing. (specific species I have in mind are the malachite darner and the luna moth)

Creechur #2 - a keystone species in the form of a damselfly analogue that evolved to fill a bee niche, with its mud-mound "hives" doubling as emergency water pools for plants to grow in during dry spells once the hives themselves have been abandoned for the year and the covers fall apart to leave only the pools behind. They don't sting, but they do bite. And they bite hard. (visual inspiration: the stream ruby)

Creechur #3 - the one natural predator of the protohearthians that survived the GM apocalypse on grounds of also being aquatic, a catfish analogue that became the catalyst to drive the protohearthians onto land altogether. The catfish itself did eventually evolve into being amphibious, and remains the one main wildlife feature that modern-day Hearthians need to watch out for when outside of the village and near waterways.

Creechur #4 - a native to Dark Bramble that's essentially a flying weasel. Three eyes, one primary and two secondary eyes that are specialized to help discern between node lights and angler lights. Highly-efficient respiratory systems let them function in the low-oxygen atmosphere of the internal bramble.

I somehow managed to go from one "hatchling" OC to three.

And I think the second might be sitting in the "favorite" spot right now, at least if character development is taken into consideration...

Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.

[scribe-cas]

Reblog if you're okay with people coming into your DMs with the "you seem really odd and your blog intrigues me, do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters"

birthday near immediately hammered by an unfortunate announcement in the server that helped me actually be more open about some things, so that's.

just the way it goes, ig.

Oh!

[doh007]

Thank you all, i needed further explanation - And i do find it might help me!
