TIL Filipino officials stopped illegal fishing techniques using dynamite by placing underwater statues of Jesus and the Virgin Mary which no one would dare damage.

There's so much pain in that second to last image.
I feel like a lot of people don’t know that the Badlands was founded so that its members could protect themselves from griefing, theft, and war. The Badlands wanted the General smp to be chaos so that they could declare their independence without anyone being able to start another war about it. Underhanded? Sure. But Schlatt and Dream were the powers of the server at the time so Bad, Ant, And Sam (technically Skeppy) really had to be if they wanted their safety assured. Also importantly, Sam was just as “power hungry” as you all claim Bad and Ant were.
They were willing to be morally grey to assure that they and any future faction members would be free and safe. They coordinated side flips mid battle during both halves of the fighting on November 16th. They wanted Eret to join so they’d control both entrances into the Badlands through his castle. And they opposed George’s kingship because of it.
The Badlands wanted security on a server that was constantly at war so they had to be a little underhanded about it. The quote unquote good guys launtched a coup against an elected official on top of blatantly using their strongest ally until he realized that and turned against them. And Dream and Schlatt were worse than them with public executions and apparently hiding the secret to resurrection. So please tell me about playing two sides that from the outside both sounded awful was worse.
I don't want to know how, but thank god

First encounter with Death / Last encounter with Death
Kinda fucked up and nasty how vampires drink blood, imo. Like. Pepsi costs a dollar seventy five
My friend sometimes brings her six-year-old to our DnD sessions and my husband (the DM) lets her roll for all enemy attacks and sometimes he will show her a few figures and let her secretly pick what creature we meet next. Who needs encounter tables when you have a first-grader around
as fitting as it would be for the clingyduo to die in battle with dream (regardless of if they defeat him or not), tommy and tubbo deserve to live. they deserve so, so much to heal and move on. possibly when tommy returns to his old dirt home, he realizes just how much he can't handle being there, how many bad memories it brings. tubbo opens the door of his home in snowchester to see tommy, standing with no coat on, shivering in the doorway. when he gets his best friend inside, berating him for not being prepared, tommy tells him that he wants to join tubbo in snowchester. he's prepared to defend himself, to promise to listen to the rules and not cause trouble, but tubbo doesn't hesitate in saying yes. they stay up late into the night, talking and laughing, and the next day they begin work together on tommy's new home. the first thing they finish however, becomes a small spruce bench on a hill by the sea, a jukebox sitting nearby. its usually too cold to sit for long, but neither of them care, because they're here, they're alive, and they're going to be okay.
