Beryl's Paracosm

[vchuuberyl]

Well well well, what have we here! 🍄🎨

Nice to meet ya! I'm Beryl, a faerie vtuber and artist, crawling back to Tumblr after a hundred years because it's kind of hard to put yourself out there if you spend all your time hiding in the woods! But also, you should totally come join me in this definitely not haunted forest.

You can catch me live on Twitch @ VchuuBeryl, and on Youchuube as well! I stream mostly fantasy and horror games, and I'm really good at giggling maniacally and doing weird wiggle dances whenever I get excited. Updates, announcements, and art n' such will be posted here!

Let's get along! I hope to see you again soon. 🍄💚 BYEryl!

How my creative process works sometimes.

Search your soul. You know it to be true.

Through every bit of political turmoil, throughout history, it's art, media, community that has kept us all sane, connected.

So don't stop creating. It's not silly. It's never silly to boost morale and hope within yourself and onto others.

Omg this looks like some sort of Fairytale Horror; like, a town with trees that have missing pets or people etched into them- coming off naturally enough to be dismissed as bark/tree discolouration

The framing of this image is just perfect subtle horror.

how it feels when the thing i like is something i really like and thats because i really like it and it makes me happy to like it

i think one of the most important things you learn about making connections with others is that a significant portion of the time people just do not know theyre doing what theyre doing

[lycanthology]

sometimes someone is acting selfish because they just didnt think you had any interest in what theyre hogging. sometimes you dont get invited to the movies because your friend could have sworn that you said no. sometimes you think someone is mad at you because theyre bad at hiding how little sleep they got. we are all like little worlds that briefly crash into one another from time to time and we just arent physically capable of seeing the whole picture at once in those moments. and learning that really changed everything!

so true one time someone thought i was very angry but i just needed to pee really bad

You’ve heard of “don’t monetize your hobbies”; get ready for "don’t master your hobbies".

Your hobbies are here to help you decompress and have fun. They do not have to be disciplines you toil over for expertise, unless that is something you genuinely enjoy doing.

It’s okay to enjoy language-learning without ever becoming fluent, or even conversational. It’s okay to like playing guitar even if you only know a few clumsy songs. You can read books and never finish them, bowl without ever scoring even halfway to perfect. We’re here to explore and play, and we cannot do that if we’re chasing perfection in everything we do.

straight men are on something else

While it is true that smelling an object does not increase the frequency with which it releases odor, we can explore the idea further by rephrasing the question: “How many sniffs of an apple's scent are needed to equate to having smelled the entirety of an apple?”

Although I couldn’t find specific data on the density of apple scent in the air, a 2011 study suggests that the average lower threshold for detecting a smell in the air is around 2.77 mg/m³. Given that the scent of an apple is relatively faint, this threshold will serve as a reasonable estimate for our purposes.

According to a 2006 study, the average human sniff has a volume of approximately 500 cm³, or 0.0005 m³ . Using this data, we can estimate that one sniff of apple scent contains about 0.001385 mg of apple essence.

For comparison, an average medium-sized apple weighs roughly 182 grams, as noted in a 2023 article by Dr. Atli Arnarson for Healthline . Based on this information, it would take around 131.5 million sniffs to smell the entire mass of an apple. Given that each sniff takes approximately 1.6 seconds , and accounting for the time to exhale between sniffs, it would require nearly 14 years of continuous sniffing to fully smell an entire apple.
