Just Watched Thirteen Lives And I Have Never Felt So Much Stress Watching A Movie Before

Writing is not about 'telling an epic story' or 'making something that will outlive you'. Writing is about going "You know what would be fucking awesome?" and then committing word crimes

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????

I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.

Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?

OK so

Wilbur/Revivebur said he was alone for 9 years or whatever, which means there was no Schlatt, no MD, and no Tommy. But we saw Tommy talking to ask three of them when he died, so how can this be true? Well: personal afterlives.

If each afterlife is personal then they have to be constructed somehow, right? So what if they're made using expectations, hopes and fears. Personal afterlives mean all of the afterlife options can be true:

Revivebur was alone because he hates everyone and himself so he wants to be alone and thinks he deserves it. At first a relief it quickly became torture, but it had been established in his mind already that the afterlife is unchanging. His own personal hell, designed by himself, though subconsciously.

Tommy, having been told the afterlife is a big void by Ghostbur (who experienced Revivebur's afterlife until he split off as a ghost), gets exactly what he expects a big void holding all the dead people he knows. All of them act as he expects them to, Schlatt is drunk/asleep, MD is being a creature of chaos coming and going as he always does, and Wilbur is even more unstable than he was in Pogtopia (which gives me hope for a possible redemption arc, not much though as Tommy knows Wilbur better than anyone, and Revivebur probably has a "dream my beloved" locket)

Everyone knows Ghostbur's afterlife is happy and peaceful, just because Ghostbur and Revivebur rode the same train doesn't mean he got off on the same station. Ghostbur is in a flower field and all his friends are there and he's living his best death. Sometimes some friends aren't there and sometimes they are all different ages. Like Fundy might be a baby one day and an adult the next, Tommy is a toddler and then he's sixteen and then he's ten.

but they are always happy

Sometimes the real Mumza pops into her son's afterlife to check on him. Because she's death and she can enter any afterlife, but only if the person wants her there, which Revivebur Did Not (going off the assumption that Ghostbur + Revivebur = Wilbur/Alivebur).

Why doesn't she visit Tommy? Well, why would she? She doesn't know him, he doesn't know her. The only thing they have in common is that they view Wilbur as family.

Kinda implies Mumza was the train but we're not going to think about that too hard

I needed to make a precious child. Because he’s good.

You’re not a real gamer unless you’ve wasted countless hours of your life purposefully walking in the wrong direction to make sure you’re not missing any content

She's a fire nation avatar, obviously. I think she deserves it. She's cool.

It's Kagami! She's the avatar!

She has pretty much mastered the element of fire, and earth comes naturally to her. When she left The Fire Nation she was sent to the Air Temples to learn airbending (it's next in the cycle) however, much like Korra, she had difficulty bending air because "avoid all your problems" is not a philosophy that comes naturally to her, so she left to find an alternative method of learning, going to the Kyoshi Warriors thinking their combat style would help her understand the element of air.

While training with the Kyoshi Warriors (which wasn't just to understand air, let's be honest, the culture and fighting style is something Kagami had always admired, also the girls are hot and she totally doesn't have a crush on the one with the ponytail) she heard that the the chief of the Northern Water Tribe was visiting Ba Sing Se. So she traveled/is traveling to Ba Sing Se in order to learn some earth bending and to try and get an in with Gabriel, so she can learn waterbending at the North Pole.

Obviously it's Shintaran 🙄

Of course the words look a little different it's a whole other language

was just rewatching MOTM and it's so funny now that i can read ninjargon😭

it basically says: TO WOTRU KENTA WLECOME URATNEK KLWOTRU EMOCELW

and this is what jay says

no, jay. it says to wotru kenta wlecome uratnek klwotru emocelw 😭

Lava will break your fall as long as it's deep enough, if it isn't you'll still go crunch when you hit the bottom

Igloos can sometimes have a basement underneath the carpet in which you'll find a villager, a zombie villager as well as a weakness potion, golden apple, some potted plants and some additional village loot

If a villager is struck by lightning it'll become a witch, if a pig is struck by lightning it'll become a zombie piglin. You can induce this with both a lightning rod or a channeling trident

A charged creeper (creeper + lightning) will cause any skeletons, zombies and creepers killed by it to drop their heads

If a creeper is killed by a skeleton it'll drop a music disc, you can do this by trapping a creeper and a skeleton in separate boats and standing behind the creeper (out of range)

Bonemealing small flowers will spawn copies of them around it (in bedrock) and drop the item for big flowers

Small dripleaves can't be duplicated using bonemeal, the only ways to get more is to find them or to trade them from a traveling merchant. If you bonemeal them you'll get big dripleaves (which will then get taller)

Sea grass is used to breed turtles and can be gotten using shears

You can bonemeal neverrack inside the mushroom forests to turn it into the coloured mycelium

You can make an automated farm for carrots, potatoes, radishes and wheat using two farmer villagers and trapping one behind a hopper minecart

Using a stonecutter is a better way to make stairs and is fairly inexpensive

You can make stone generators by having lava fall onto flowing water (more than one block high) which isn't that useful on its own but can be used in passive xp farms using skulk and moss farms and probably others as well

Copper oxidises faster around (within 4 blocks) fully oxidised copper and slower around less oxidised copper, the least oxidised one has to oxidise before any others within range will

Pistons will move up to sixteen blocks in any direction and slime blocks will stick them together

Water flows for seven blocks (eight incl source)

If you rename a mob in a bucket in an anvil the mob will have that name without using a nametag

When caving you should bring some wood with you, and maybe a crafting table or two

When caving if you always place torches on one side of the cave you'll be able to retrace your steps with ease as you'll be able to follow torches on the opposite wall home

Minecraft Tips

or, a list of things about Minecraft that took me forever to figure out, that might not be obvious to new players, or that I just found helpful

Equal parts gravel and dirt can be crafted into coarse dirt, and using a hoe on coarse dirt changes it to normal dirt, so you can effectively change gravel into dirt if you have at least 2 dirt blocks with you

I know the game technically teaches you this BUT: you can cure zombie villagers by hitting them with a splash weakness potion and then feeding them a golden apple. This is an easy way to populate a village you built yourself, I've done it in all my survival worlds. The easiest way to protect newly potioned and appled villagers is to dig a long trench, get the zombie villager to chase you, circle the pit until the villager falls in, and cover the pit so no mobs attack the zombie villager when it changes into a villager.

Killing fish is a pretty good way to get bones. I don't need a skeleton farm because automatic fish farms are probably among the easiest automatic farms to build

drinking milk stops status effects

Tiny slimes can't damage you. You can keep them as pets.

The fastest transportation method is, for some reason, a boat on blue ice. Many horses are faster than powered rails.

Suspicious stew can be crafted, even though it's not part of the creative inventory or recipe book, using the normal recipe for mushroom stew+one flower. Allium gives a couple seconds of fire resistance, poppy gives night vision, cornflower gives jump boost, blue orchids or dandelions give saturation, and oxeye daisy gives regeneration.

A lot of wooden items—fences, doors, bows, fishing poles, and so on—can be used as fuel in furnaces. It's not efficient but it's a good way to get rid of excess items

Sneak to add blocks to the side of a furnace or chest directly. Do y'all have any idea how long this took me to figure it out. (This is also how you add a hopper to a chest.)

gold or iron armor can be melted down into gold and iron nuggets

The fortune enchantment affects sapling drops from trees and crop harvests.

Early in game, smelting copper into ingots is one of the best ways to get XP fast.

Fishing odds are slightly better when it's raining.

When you first get a full set of diamond armor your first instinct may be to wear it on a quest into the Nether. Don't. Take a couple stacks each of gravel/sand and any stone and run repeated suicide missions until you've made a stone shelter around your portal and paths across surrounding lava lakes.

More nether navigation tricks: drop columns of gravel down precipices in the Nether and then add cobblestone to the side of the gravel columns to build stairs from the top down

If your nether portal goes out while you're in the Nether, a Ghast fireball hitting the inside of the frame will relight it. But please don't get caught in the Nether without flint and steel

Lava breaks your fall much like water does, and you can't drown in it, though it's very hard to move in. Fire resistance potions will let you exploit both of these things.

Fill a basalt delta with three- or four-block-high towers of whatever block you like, two blocks apart, in staggered rows. Occasionally place a block on the side of the towers' top blocks. This won't stop magma cubes from spawning, but it will stop the large ones from moving effectively.

Using silk touch to grab the red and blue "turf" layers in Nether forests lets you farm both kinds of giant nether fungi by bone-mealing mushrooms, though the turf colors and mushroom colors have to match up. The growth is unaffected by obstructions above and the fungus "foliage" blocks never decay like leaves do. I have no idea who thought that was a good idea. BUT doing this repeatedly will eventually completely obstruct the "sky", protecting you from Ghasts

Nether fortresses and bastions are found along a "grid" pattern, so when you find one nether fortress you can travel in a straight line to find another fortress or bastion. Villages do the same thing, except when they don't. (Really, how villages spawn is a total mystery to me.)

Bonemealing moss will straight up convert surrounding stone into moss. I have no idea why. Since bone meal can be automated using a dropper iirc, this seems like it could lead to some weird redstone contraptions.

Horses can survive falls that would seriously damage a player.

Animals can and will climb ladders. I don't know why. But if you push a sheep or cow toward a ladder, they will often automatically ascend it. I've used this fact for automatic farms before.

You can name literally anything using an anvil, even if you can't repair or enchant it

Soul sand placed underwater creates bubble columns that shoot you upward. Magma blocks create bubble columns that pull you down. You can breathe in the bubble columns.

Night vision potions, if you've never used one, will also let you see the ocean floor.

A water source block in an "ocean" biome will spawn ocean animals, whether there is room for them there or not. If you change a section of ocean into a one-block-deep pond, you'll still get fish in there

you probably won't like this one but. keep a notebook with the coordinates of important spots it is SO HELPFUL

I'll add more when I think of them. please note that I play bedrock and some of these might not work in java

those posts about wanting kudos and comments on your fanworks vs creating for your own sake have gotten it all wrong. the TRUE purpose of fanworks is attracting people with great taste and luring them into your dms
