Ok But Seriously Why Is “much Older Internet Friend Uses You As Their Personal Suicide Hotline” Such

What is your favorite ship and why?👀👀👀

Ehehe what a question :) I'll answer this for iterator ships! I do have favorite slugcat ships as well but those will come with my slugcat design post.

I have two favorites actually, that would be trafficlight and lilypad! Both of which are present with my version of the iterators.

Trafficlight is appealing to me in a way I haven't really found a way to articulate ahah. I just think Hara and Suns' personalities provide excellent contrast, I always am a sucker for the charismatic bold type and shy nervous type falling for each other. With the added layers of Suns making mistakes at times and Hara having the guts to tell them how it is.

With how I portray trafficlight, they realize their feelings at the exact same time but have absolutely opposite responses. Hara accepts it and begins to watch if Suns feels the same, while Suns is absolutely petrified AAHAH.

My version of Suns is quite cynical and tends to overthink, they also feel obligated to not go against the ancient's wishes lest something terrible happen (at least they think something might). They feel if they were to love Hara they would become tethered to life, which obviously they aren't supposed to be. So they fear angering the ancients spirits or whatever.

They are also aware they are absolutely head over heels for Hara, and they also fear loving him too much- Like they won't know how to move on when something bad inevitably happens.

Meanwhile, Hara has none of this existential dread LMAO. He doesn't care what the ancients think, and he has accepted they will all meet an end at some point, so they might as well enjoy things while it lasts. It takes Suns time to calm their anxieties, but they do eventually.

My version of Lilypad, meanwhile, is queerplatonic! That's why I kind of struggle tagging it as specifically lilypad- But y'know AHHWFUIIHFW. I will probably in the future though just with the addition of queerplatonic tags :) I'm still a bit new at this Tumblr buidness

But mine at least, they have an incredibly intimate friendship, they love each other very much, they know each other better then anyone else, they are besties 5 ever

If Suns is Hara's romantic soulmate, Moon is Hara's platonic soulmate. They are the oldest in their local group so they have a very particular "old friend" dynamic, something they call each other frequently. They're just a couple of geezers, they've always been a constant for each other through thick and thin.

I love this because they're just two goobers who love each other and I love that for them! They're mellow, like to have a good laugh, a very comfortable ship indeed. When things aren't going to hell that is.

And that's the post!

So sorry it was a bit lengthy, but thank you for asking this, and thank you for reading! It was very fun to answer aha. And both include Hara, alas he has two hands for a reason <3.

I redid my very first illustration of Magnus. (The original piece was a rough concept, so the painting was also quite loose when I did it for the "Witchsona" prompt years ago.) New tags - since the bracketed ones no longer work; #Magnus0 (related to the character) #Division0 (related specifically to his story/comic)

pet parrot content is getting more popular on platforms like tiktok, and i just want to put it out there that parrots are NOT like dogs or cats. i've already seen more than one video of someone falling in love with a parrot at something like a petsmart (sidebar: like for most animals, please find a responsible, ethical breeder) (this will also hopefully let you know that you are indeed buying a bred parrot and not a wild-caught) and buying one on impulse, and MY GOD does that make me nervous. people who are capable of giving parrots a good life are a vast, VAST minority of people.

my grandfather bred parrots so i grew up with them from a young age, and while i love them and respect them and am glad for the time i got to spend growing up around them, there's a reason *i* do not own a parrot. he always had a clause in the purchase agreement that meant parrots would be surrendered back to him and not abandoned/given to a shelter/rescue, and he had MANY birds given back. many. even with talking it through with people and letting them meet his other birds and experience their volume and how much care they need, there were still people who would buy a parrot and in a few months nearly beg to give it back bc they were in over their heads.

parrots are beautiful, intelligent animals, but they require SO much care and work and socializing. they are flock-based animals, and you will have to be their flock. they will need HOURS of your attention and care every single day. (and i mean HOURS). and if they don't get it, they can and will start engaging in behavior including mutilating themselves and plucking their feathers out. also they are super sensitive to their surroundings. new person in the house they don't like? plucking themselves with stress. too many visitors for their comfort? plucking themselves with stress. you went on a vacation and they aren't dealing with it well? plucking themselves with stress. new puppy in the house? plucking themselves with stress. get a divorce/move houses/new baby in the home? plucking themselves with stress. obviously not every bird will be sensitive to the same degree, but in general, parrots deal with stress/changes in environment WAY worse than other pets.

depending on the breed, you will have a creature with the intelligence of a toddler (some are even as smart as your average 5 year old), and you will be living with this toddler for literal decades. conures live 20-30 years, african grays live 40-60 years, and cockatoos can live 60-80 years. this toddler creature will ALSO have evolved to have a cry that can carry through jungles, and that volume is not gonna decrease bc you live in an apartment and your neighbors aren't gonna want to hear it. you ever heard a sun conure? get within a mile of one and you will.

tl;dr: parrots are beautiful and i love them, but there is no way in hell i would ever own one bc there are SO few people who should.

scugerators, am I right?

I hope you all are ready for some minecraft art spam :) Forgot to post what I was putting on bluesky! (you should follow me by the way hehe)

I redesigned the main three! Felt like they needed a second pass so here we are. Under the cut are the lore details for them, so if you're interested hope you enjoy! If not, see you in a bit :)

Herobrine is a unique kind of builder, one that was born in what is essentially creative mode. He originated from the void, and remained there for a long, long time. Only kept company by the one other who inhabited it, though she didn't do much to soothe his loneliness.

He eventually made it out of the void, but he was rejected by creatures on the surface. In a howl of despair and an emotional out pour of energy, it was him who caused a lot of chaos in the world. From the zombie infection, to the pillager's existence, to the creation of the two bosses and a lot of other mobs.

Afterwards he fled and disappeared. Time passed and he became legend, known as Herobrine, or the prince of monsters. Presently, most are unsure if he was an actual person or was just a created myth.

Steve was taken into and raised in a village. It was at a time before builders were widely accepted, they had a poor reputation around that time, so he had to hide features of his appearance such as ears and hair to blend in.

He passed for a long time, but eventually he had died in front of the other villagers. Which was no problem, as he could just respawn, but other villagers couldn't do that- So if he were to return to the village after they had seen him die, he would be outed. So he left the village, to believe he had died.

Alex was born in the nether and taken in by a piglin tribe. The piglins didn't mind her species as much since they didn't really know the reputation the builders had, and if they did it wasn't really that important. They feared NOTHING.

She was raised specifically by a piglin brute, the chief of the tribe. She never left her tribe until Steve came around, she probably wouldn't have otherwise.

the emotion i just experienced is kind of indescribable
