"Omg, I Love These! They Go Up To Size 6X AND They Have Pockets?! Wow!! But Do You Have Anything Longer?"

I think for season 10 of Hermitcraft they should take on apprentices! Basically have every hermit who is returning from season 9 or older seasons seek out much smaller content creators who are kinda mediocre at Minecraft and take one of them on as their apprentice. They teach them throughout the season and at the end they show off everything they did with their apprentice and what their apprentice accomplished on their own. A beautiful passing on the torch even if it’s never done again and they just keep the same hermits afterwards. Plus it’d be funny to see the antics the hermits would have. Like dad battles. “My apprentice is superior. I’ve taught them SO well” XD

I know I've said this a hundred times but if you're worried about palestinian fundraisers being scams at least consider donating to MSF. It's a highly reputable organization which has broken its long-standing neutrality to denounce Israel in front of the UN. Here's all the aid MSF is providing to Gazans (documentation available in multiple languages).

So you know how most people have some kind of thing that stays with them with all their life? And it usually ends up guiding them to their career path? 

For example:

Art can lead to sculpting, animating, commission work, etc.

Video games can lead to coding, video game design, YouTube/Twitch, etc.

Making other people laugh/smile can lead to entertainment, medical work, psychology, etc.

Conducting “experiments” can lead to Chemistry, Engineering, etc.

They’re things that usually start early in childhood and persevere throughout your life, no matter how many other phases or hobbies you go through. You know, aspirations, the kind of thing Shonen anime won’t shut up about.

Umm...well...

Mine miiiight be dragons.

I agree! This made me have a completely separate but related thought. I hope it's okay that I share it with you and I'm definitely open to disagreements and other ways of looking at it!

I look back at the original "the curtains are just blue" meme and find the process of what it morphed into really interesting. Originally, the meme was expressing the frustration of American (and in my experience, Canadian as well) highschool asking you to examine the themes of writing without really being giving you the tools to do so. We're told what a metaphor (and the metaphor's cousins, like similies) is and how to use it, but we weren't taught about the principles of examining themes. In my english class, we were given a handful of assignments that surrounded analyzing surface level themes, but no projects that really delve into it. The student has no idea how you know when something is symbolism or when it's just a description, how a single object can be symbolic of completely different things depending on the context and characters interacting with it, etc. The student doesn't know that they don't delve deeper into this stuff because school boards are largely driven by industrialists who want school to be about preparing you to work and don't find things like media analysis nessecary, so of course it feels like the teacher is just asking you to do the impossible task of reading the author's mind.

But then, the "the curtains are just blue" meme kinda blew up and morphed into the version of the meme that you were (rightfully) complaining about (for lack of better words). It became very in-line with the views of the industrialists that (one could argue) caused the meme in the first place. Or atleast, caused the problem that inspired the meme. It became this idea that analyzing literature is boring, unnecessary, and does nothing to help you learn what's really important. A weird kind of cycle, yeah?

I'd like to do more research on this, but I really struggle to understand academic papers and stuff like that. I just think it's neat! Do you also think it's neat?

YES!

I like how Sunday's playable path is Harmony haha

Old Neuvi painting I did at the beginning of this year :))

My default assumption whenever I see people pitching fits about how characters or ships or the color of the wallpaper or whatever else they don't like must be evil, is that they are a teenager.

They are a teenager who has never used anything other than an algorithmic feed on a social media app to find fannish content, they don't even know where the settings page is, and they're having a real bad time. They have to get up early in the morning, school is awful, all their clique-y peers have been mean to them about their weight, their teachers are impatient, they just got seven hours of homework and their last class was gym. And they are eternally frightened that they're secretly a bad person and their only current recourse against this is to be like, at least I know that pineapple on pizza is a sin.

Approaching things from this angle has never steered me wrong. Even when the person in question is not literally a teenager, they're still pretty much letting their inner kid drive the bus right now.

"A four year age gap is abusive!" okay champ. Screen time's up. Let's get you a protein shake and a nap.

heartbreaking:

girl has sooooooo many ambitions and ideas for projects but can only get 1.5 basic tasks done per day

I cry like, once every two months and I can always tell when the day is approaching. It’s very tense.
