heyyyyy reminder for other cane users.

don't forget that cane tips need to be replaced.

i've been using my cane for almost two years on a near daily basis and i JUST switched out the tip and

[image IDs in alt text]

the new tip versus the old tip. i'm not sure how clear it is but, YEAH, there's like. half a millimeter of tread left on the old tip, if that

the replacement was LITERALLY 2 dollars. i bought two to justify the four dollar shipping but. TWO BUCKS.

i had noticed that i was having slipping issues on linoleum recently, but i did not realize how bad the issue had gotten until the new tips came so. PLEASE check your cane treads and if they're notably worn out PLEASE get yourself a new tip they're SO cheap and the grip i get on the new one is INSANE

please don't forget to replace your cane tips!

Some fans of the PJO show will jump and accuse others of racism for simply hoping that characters (THAT ARENT EVEN CAST AS YET) are book accurate, but they never want to acknowledge how removing Percy's darker look and casting a blond with blue eyes as Percy is rooted in racism.

Saying that Percy being blond with blue eyes makes sense because "he's a son of Poseidon, so he should look like a surfer boy" is dumb. Percy is not a surfer boy. He is not the all-American boy. 

Percy is a character that has been unfairly judged and mistreated by authority figures and other kids for most of his life. He would not be treated like that if he was seen as an "easy-going surfer boy." Easy-going surfer boys don't get treated like that.

The lighter features that he is given in the TV show are being used as a way to portray him as "the perfect hero," and they don't seem to realize how rooted in racism that is. Nothing is wrong with a hero being written as blond with blue eyes, but erasing a character's darker looks in favor of lighter features is racist. Someone once said they no longer care for Book Percy's looks because of how much they love Walker's "blond, more laid-back-looking" Percy. People are choosing to erase book Percy in favor of the "all-American boy" because, god forbid, the hero looks a bit "rough around the edges." Also, I'm not saying that book Percy isn't white. It's pretty clear that Rick intended for book Percy to be seen as white. I'm just saying that trying to erase book Percy, who has features that don't protect him from being labelled a "no-good troublemaker" (something a lot of races could relate to), and trying to replace him with a blond surfer boy who is far less likely to be labelled "a hopeless case" is rooted in racism, and nothing is going to change my mind about that.

Thanks to artfight, I’ve finally finished a detailed, official dbhc cub reference! :D

(I’ve put his Artifight description below the cut, which has a more detailed explanation of his timeline, lore, and aesthetics! >:3)

-ˋˏ ༻ ❁  OVERVIEW ❁ ༺ ˎˊ-

Name: C.B.F.N.4000 (Cub) Pronouns: He/Him Species: Android Height: 5’9’’ Associated Visual Themes: vex, ghosts, explosions, mischief, scientist aesthetic, potions, potionmaking, sleepy/tired aesthetic, conspiracies

-ˋˏ ༻ ❁  ABOUT ❁ ༺ ˎˊ-

CBFN4000 is an au version of MCYT Hermitcraft’s Cubfan, set in my DBHC (or Detroit Become Hermitcraft) AU! This au is inspired by the 2018 game Detroit Become Human, but not because it really has anything to do with DBH—I simply yoinked the android mechanics and incorporated them into the world of Hermitcraft. It began as a S8 au, and has roughly followed the hermitcraft timeline up to the present! 

Cub was the last android made during Season 8. While many of the hermit androids were made at the beginning of season 8 and a few were made for season 9, Cub was finished and activated mid-late Season 8, around the time when Hermits started noticing the Big Moon. Cub’s model ended up being a sloppy experiment in deviation, as Doc suggested they try to transfer deviancy to an android upon activation to try and avoid traumatic situations that might cause an android to deviate violently or upsettingly, such as Etho’s, Tango’s, or Mumbo’s experiences. While this went relatively well initially, it clearly wasn’t very thoroughly thought out, as Xisuma (who is normally so adamant and detail-oriented when it comes to assuring the androids’ safety with experiments like this) wasn’t truly himself due to external manipulation and mostly left a relatively young-deviant Doc to carry out the project himself. 

Cub, though adjusting to sentience rather well at first, very quickly became wrapped up in the Big Moon happenings on the server, new personality and inexperience to emotions like fear and ignorance completely overwhelming his young system. He became obsessive over the implications and consequences of the Season 8 Moon Apocalypse, joining the Mooners and spreading his conspiracy theories religiously throughout the server as he descended into madness. The insanity was like a virus to his programming, pervasive and all-engulfing, and Cub’s final attempt to free himself from the Moon’s impact with the Earth—to launch himself on a llama into space via potion-powered TNT(insane btw)— left his hands and feet singed and cracked to ruin.

The experiment, considered a horrific failure by a deeply shameful—and more awake—S9 Xisuma, left Doc and Xisuma with the decision to reset him for the new season, and they ended up pairing him with a hermit like they had done with the other androids, to give him a chance to find deviancy on his own terms. So, at the start of season 9 and fresh after a reset, Cub was paired with Scar. Naturally, because Scar is… Scar, Cub deviated almost instantly after being given to him, and very quickly adopted the iconic lazy, stoic, amused attributes normally associated with Cubfan. Scar’s tendency towards mischief and general shenanigans grew instantly on Cub, and the two were an immediate inseparable pair. So much so that when Scar began rambling one day about his Season 5 Hermitcraft Shenanigans (where deals with the Vex may or may not have been involved), Cub immediately stated he was interested in being in on it. Whatever “it” means. It’s unclear if Cub also made a deal with the vex or became connected to them in some other way, but… well, he got Doc’s help to trick out his eyes, hair, and back to best fit the part. Scar is very jealous that he can't magically make himself have the same features to match.

Cub is closest with Scar (there's something there, I think), but he gets along just as well with any of the other hermits! He’s close with Jevin and many of the other redstoners like Etho and Doc, who are the other two androids I’ve put on artfight!

Cub's eyes can light up in the dark, and he’s the only android who has edited his programming so that the default state of his LED is white, not blue. It still will go yellow and red if his processors are working particularly hard, but he’s replaced the blue setting on his LED with white to better match the Vex vibe. Cub has all of the vibes of a fae. If that’s anything <3

Do you ever find yourself thinking about how fun it would be to pop open the panels of an androids torso? About how intimate that would be for them? Especially if they know you have absolutely zero understanding of tech. But there they are, open to you, letting you poke and prod at the wires, circuits, motherboards, and coolant tubes, feeling them thrum with energy underneath your fleshy fingertips? Maybe you think about the sounds they would make when you grip their endoskeleton and let your hand glide along the cool, slick metal? Or the expression on their face when they realize that they are unable to make a sound after you jostled their vocal processor? Or the feeling you could bring them by pressing into the knotted wires of their pleasure sensors?

Yeah...me neither.......totally........

I can't wait for the next episode, I've been going nuts without my weekly doses of vsmp and other tumblr artist and writers are keeping me going.

So pls if you written a fic share with me!!! ((Vampire found family would be great, but I'll literally take anything.)) 🥰 Besides that I have one more doodle coming because man did I forget to post much during my watch through or spooky season in general.

Besides that, who else should I draw? I'm all over the place.

I've been really self indulging mostly, silly ocs drawing and writing. Plus procrastinating on my halloween costume, I want to dress as White Lily but tell me why I'm sitting here staring at fabric like I've never sewn before?

Sorry about the random life update, I know I usually only ramble about silly cookies or ocs, but I felt like just chatting. ((I'm ignoring that I shared this drawing with my friend before posting. Hiya!!! I see you, thank you for feeding me fics!!!)) 👋😎✨️
