#BUT I have strong... suspicions...

[quaranmine]

Obviously I can't be sure that AdieCraft is going to join Hermitcraft--nor can I even be 100% sure if Skizz, enough though I feel like there is strong evidence toward him joining. But as a general warning to everyone, do not get Too set on anyone in particular you like joining. I know tons of people want Joel, Lizzie, Fwhip, Jimmy, Marytn, Hbomb, etc and other large creators that are already closely associated with hermits. I have seen tons of theorization and speculation on them, they're definitely the most popular choices. But be prepared for that not happening, and be prepared to hype someone else up even if they're a small CC you've never heard of.

Everybody on my AdieCraft theory post from earlier has been nothing but nice about the possibility of him joining ofc, I just have a vague sense of worry when I see just how Sure some people on here are about other CCs. I just want people to be ready for the possibility they're wrong and ready to accept whoever the lucky person is! AKA feel free to theorize whoever you want but avoid getting your hopes up so much that you'll be disappointed or upset if the person you wanted doesn't join. That way we can welcome everyone <3

#frankly i am sure of nothing even though i have strong suspicions here and there #so i'm ready to be surprised LOL #hermitcraft

Please tell us about looking up catboys on a lodestone and what is a graha and please as many pictures as you want and also is any of it gay i am very interested 🙏🙏

CRACKS MY KNUCKLES this is gonna be a long ramble because i have a LOT to say. as a passionate xiv player and such ^_^ god im gonna put a read more actually because this is gonna be so long. whoopsie!

so FIRST OF ALL g'raha tia is a much-beloved ffxiv character (voiced by jonathan bailey. like from bridgerton. that jonathan bailey. isnt that incredible) look at him. here he is. phil is so incredibly real

he's a fan favorite for a reason he is so lovely and sweet and incredibly self-sacrificing and during my favorite story expansion, shadowbringers, we meet him as the crystal exarch- a leader of a dying world who has summoned us to help because we are that world's last hope. and his grand plan to save said world is ultimately to sacrifice himself. he's very depressed and very mysterious and slowly dying because his life force is tied to the crystal tower where he resides, which is what grants him power to keep going but is slowly crystallizing him, and he's just a very deeply tragic character at first... but then at the end of shadowbringers he LIVES! he has a new lease on life! and he didn't expect to ever get that far! so afterwards he's just so deeply earnest and excited about everything and it's so cute... so sweet... i love u graha <3 and this catboy is like gay as hell like he is soooo blatantly in love with the player character. who, like, officially in trailers and stuff, the default player character meteor, is a man. gayass cat!! anyway here's the crystal exarch figurine, which dnp own, and which i am jealous of them for. but it makes me smile that they have it. bc i love g'raha

NOW ANYWAY. DAN AND PHIL'S CATBOYS!

every ffxiv player character is displayed on this website called the lodestone, which has like community stuff and worldwide rankings and such. just like a standard mmorpg hub. and you can look up character profiles on there if youre curious, say, what mounts they have (cause in xiv you can get a whole bunch of different mounts to ride around on, from a massive shiba inu to a t-rex to the classic chocobo you are given at the start of the game to, like, actual cars and motorbikes) or what minions they might have (you can pick a little minion to follow you around in the game! just for like cute little aesthetic purposes. and they have minions of like cute little creatures, bosses you can fight, characters in the game, etc-- for example the minion iiii always have out to follow my catgirl around the world is a mini version of my favorite character y'shtola, who is a goth catgirl who is absolutely everything to me. wife of all time. she has the craziest lesbian dynamic with this goth butch named zero who you meet late in the story and who is SO everything as well. that's not the point. ANYHOW!) (also when phil said in the rating your favs video that if you play a cat in ffxiv youre definitely gay he was literally so fucking right. there are a bunch of different races to choose from, you can be elves, you can be bunny people, you can be dragon people, etc, but well. i play as a cat. they play as cats. fork. kitchen)

ANYHOW. so when phil said recently that his catboy was named MIKO STRIKER i was like "omg... i have GOT to go search him up on the lodestone and see what job he plays and how far he's gone in the story and such" and hereeee is his profile:

31st sun of the 1st astral moon does translate to january 30th bc the ffxiv calendar is offset by a day. anyway the fact phil plays summoner is both so endearing and makes so much sense to me bc it's pretty well-known as the easiest dps class to play in the whole game. and i also started out playing summoner when i started!! and part of the summoner job is, well, summoning these magical creatures called carbuncles:

isnt this thing cute... i love carbys. i named mine cherry tomato. im sure his is called susan or something ^_^ so delighted by the summoner rep. anyway then i went to look at his minions & mounts cause certain parts of the story award certain minions & mounts and i was like well i GOTTA know if dan and phil have finished endwalker (the most recent, emotionally devastating story expansion) (they have not, btw. both of their catboys are in the gear you get RIGHT before embarking on the final and MOST emotionally devastating leg of the story, but they don't have the mount and minion you get from FINISHING IT, which is killing me sooo bad. you guys.... go play the end of the story.... go cry.... it made me cry for like 7 hours nonstop it was so emotionally devastating. go do it lads)

so yeah phil does lack the venat minion and argos mount which you get from finishing endwalker. but he DOES have this cute carbuncle mount which you have to buy with real money mind you!! and they come in 3 colors on the shop. this is phil's. made me smile :)

and well after looking at phil's profile i was like "of course he doesn't play any other classes. yeah that makes sense. BUT i wonder about dan. where is his catboy" but without a name i couldn't find his profile without insane digging or something so i forgot about it UNTIL i was rewatching wdapteo sometime after christmas and i got to THIS picture:

and the thing is that dan's catboy here is wearing job-exclusive gear. only people who play the monk class can wear that outfit there. my first thought was "what the fuck is wrong with him monk is the most baffling job on the entire planet" my second thought was "yeah ok of COURSE he plays monk" my THIRD thought was "wait. i can just look up catboy monks on the server miko is on then. i can totally go look at dan's catboy" and did so and within like five seconds arrived at D'HASH TIA here ^_^

which like. definitely dan's catboy given the pictures we've seen of him. and the ffxiv calendar, again, is offset by a day, so the birthday IS june 11. bingo ^_^

and what is so special to me about this is that dan's catboy has a "canon" name while phil's absolutely does not-- sun seeker miquo'te (cat people) have clan names and then titles, basically, so a canon sun seeker male name would be like. letter of the clan, apostrophe, name, then "tia" at the end which is just a title for young males (like dearest g'raha tia). so yknow. d'hash tia is a proper canon name while also being so incredibly dan to pick, methinks. i love it

(and then i was going thru a lot and rewatched the japhan 2019 instagram stories and realized i didnt need to go thru so much because we've actually known theyre monk and summoner players since 2019. they went to the ffxiv cafe. they got job-specific drinks. for their fucking jobs. dan got the monk drink. phil got the summoner drink. it was always right there. theyre so funny)

i do think it's so funny that neither of them have ever played another job in all their years of playing ffxiv. u guys there are so many jobs out there..... dan go unlock dark knight i know you would love the job story i know it in my heart...... but no they have stuck to their guns they have stuck to their classes all this time. it's beautiful to me

anyway d'hash tia's minions and mounts mostly match miko striker's which makes a lot of sense to me bc i imagine they probably play most of xiv together

BUT the carbuncle mount d'hash has is the RED ONE. which sent me through every single stage of emotions ever.... you have to buy those mounts with real money.... and they bought matching ones.......... ridiculous. ridiculous of them.

AND. dan's catboy also has the fat moogle mount. this beautiful thing right here

which is another mount that costs real money to buy..... and it's a two-seater................ more likely than not he's flown the both of them around in this thing................... i need everyone to know this information. it's so important. to our society.

(also as an aside. the story they told in wdapteo about going to a gay bar in xiv. i cant state enough how real they were for that. bc roleplay venues are insanely common ingame and its so fucking funny and ive always wanted to go to one just out of sheer curiosity but if anyone ever spoke to me i would instantly log the fuck out. so the fact they did just that and then got flirted with by someone and instantly logged out.... like that's it. that's the exact experience. it's so beautiful)

(as another aside. xiv is real gay i prommy. and looking at their minions lets me know they've also done my favorite raid series, eden, which is essentially. two main characters, thancred and urianger, and their adopted daughter ryne who they CANONICALLY RAISED TOGETHER they are LITERALLY HER FATHERS, work to save the world and meet this goth girl named gaia that ryne falls in love with and like. ryne and gaia are blatantly meant to be canon to the point square enix made a spinoff game where characters very clearly based off them actually ARE together. it's adorable. little baby prep/goth lesbians. i hope dnp love them as much as i do. also im SO sure dan is a thancred fan honestly bc he seems right up dan's alley. anyhow look! arent they cute!)

TLDR i am such a massive fan of dip and pip's xiv catboys and i need the world to know that they bought matching mounts bc it's SO important to me. and ive gone on great journeys here. amen.

#IM SORRY THAT THIS IS SO SO INCREDIBLY LONG BUT THERE IS MUCH TO BE SAID!!! #i NEED them to talk about ffxiv more i need to know more of their thoughts i GOTTA!!! #i have my strong suspicions about dan's favorite characters. not just thancred... he MUST love emet-selch. danny give me confirmation here #it's so sad that neither of them have the tonberry minion but it IS expensive on the market board... dnp i have plenty of gil i will fund u #i will get u both tonberry minions.... i will..... #i must make them unlock other jobs. dan and phil pls go unlock fisher... go fishing. it's one of xiv's greatest joys #ANYWAY IM SORRY THAT THIS IS PROBABLY ABSOLUTE WORD SALAD. THERE IS A LOT OF PASSION. IN MY HEART. GODBLESS!! #THANK U FOR COMING TO MY TED TALK <3 #ask #calvinahobbes #dnp

the weird thing about the not-uncommon literary characters displaying significant autistic traits is how those traits are tend to be so much more... aesthetic as portrayed in books. in real life the social recluse is not appealingly mysterious but utterly ignored.

#I think there's likely to be a fair dose of wish fulfillment in the moat straightforwardly autistic-coded portrayals #because I do believe a not insignificant number of authors had to have been on the spectrum #given the actually pretty high % of us irl + my suspicion that we might be a bit more likely to become writers #(and ofc my strong suspicions that 80% or more of poets are nd and/or mentally ill in some way) #...I should add something more but I really should be going to bed now... #hopefully I expressed what I meant because it was difficult to concisely put into words #// #actually autistic #autistic coded character #literary #original post

It is only first month of 2024, and I've already lost not one but two subjects of nightmares, paranoia and reoccurring emotional torture. I really wish there was another way to get rid of these besides having extremely painful conversations.. but at least these scars are closing, one by one

#/vent #personal #and this time was like.. opposite of the previous one #previous one absolutely wrecked me with very ugly insight and basically made all puzzle pieces fall together #this one was just pain and crying and having my worst suspicions about other person AND self faced and confirmed #but again it got solved #I really want the power to move on without having a closure. #I hope I will be strong enough for it one day. #I just need to think.. #I think I really should avoid other depressed/traumatised people until something can be done with how I react at perceived threats #(which is eternity because hell I know when I will be able to afford therapy. probably never with how my life situation is going) #as jarring as being close only with 'healthy' people would be I just can't make things worse for both me and them #until I can change my default response from aggression into avoidance I'll just stay away from anyone with depression #I say very terrible things when I feel threatened and it is way too easy to make me feel threatened. it is THE easiest thing in the world. #I won't survive without close friends anyhow but there is category of people that can't recover from these words normally #I mean I am ALSO this 'category'. I also hurt from awful words thrown at me for MONTHS don't I #it is very hard to be aware of my glaring flaws when everyone that points them out is outright malicious and wants me bullied off the Earth #and then everyone who does think I deserve my human rights either doesn't see my flaws or doesn't mention them #so at least discussing it without outright intention to harm me was helpful for a change #maybe one day I'll have a friend that can be open if I've hurt them a lot so I can work on it but that's another story I guess

...💩

#so i live in an apartment block #and one (or some) of my neighbours have started smoking cannabis recently (or something that smells similar) #i say ''have started'' because i haven't noticed anything until a couple of weeks ago #sometimes i can smell tobacco in the staircase but it has never really spread to my apartment #but the pot? my hallway REEKS of it #(=inside my actual apartment!!!!!) #and look. i could not give less shits about what someone chooses to smoke in their freetime #but PLEASE don't subject me to it ffs🤢 #i have a suspicion which neighbour it might be but i'm not 100% sure so i guess there's not much i can do about it #however. the smell is so strong that it would make sense it's from a nearby apartment #and considering my next-door neighbour had a couple of visits from the police last spring... 😐 #i know i'm not the only one bothered by the smell judging by the notes some of my neigbhours have left on the noticeboard of the building #i think these notes (''heippalappu'') are somewhat useless though because 1) the neighbour to whom it's directed may never even see it #and 2) even if they did i doubt it would make them stop smoking indoors #because i don't think it's a case of them not realising the smell might affect others #it's more a case of just being a dick and not giving a fuck about other people #just now i googled ''what to do when my neighbour smokes pot'' lol #but i couldn't really find anything useful for this particular situation where i can't be sure from which apartment the smell comes from 😑 #and i don't really feel like snooping around behind my neighbours' doors like a sniffer dog to figure out where's the source of the smell #i live on the 3rd floor and as i said my main suspect is my next-door neighbour #and someone in the heippalappu was also suspecting a 3rd floor resident (''you know who'' they had written) #but then someone else had written they think it comes from the 4th floor so 🤷‍♀️ #unless it was the pot-smoker themselves bluffing 🤔 #i did find a reddit thread (in finnish) in which some people are like ''it's just a smell. deal with it'' #ah! so i'm supposed to just tolerate the smell of pot inside my apartment! even though it's fucking disgusting! okay thanks!!!!!! #AITA for being bothered by pot smell inside my apartment caused by my neighbour lol

Wait

Oh no

#shirtless twi just sunk in #I have a sneaking suspicion if I check the lu tag that’s all I’m gonna see #rambles from the Floor #linkeduniverse #I CANT DO IT AGAIN IM NOT STRONG ENOUGH

[birdkittenn]

if i had a nickel every time i suspected someone read my fics and decided to take the idea of a feed, with coloured text deciding which character is talking, i'd have 3 nickels at this point

#rambles #1 is confirmed the other 2 i have very high suspicions that was taken from me #my formatting is very obvious and i havent yet seen it in any other fic in this fandom that existed before mine #feed dialogue? with colours? is that from me #im very curious but also it would be kind of weird to just randomly ask so i will just sit here stewing in my strong suspicions #the 3rd one also does right alignment (though not consistently aligning by character) so thats an even stronger suspicion

[entropic-introspection]

Love doing shit like the RRad test and it asks like, “Do you follow routines or scripts to seem more normal”

Me: Nah, not really

My brain: You’ve been actively editing your speaking style since the fourth grade

Me: I read a lot and had a big vocab! It was annoying have to define words all the time and it stuck as a habit.

My brain: You had an entire 6 month fascination with body language in high school and tried to see if there were social cues you were missing, or ways to better project your intentions/feelings

Me: Ok, but I was also getting into theater at the time and trying to improve my acting!

My brain: You have literally recently admitted to yourself that you spend a large amount of resources around unfamiliar people to heavily modify your behavior and that’s a large part of why you aren’t sociable, because it’s just too draining to do on the regular

Me: Oh, well, you know how anxiety and introversion are-

My brain: You hated small talk because it felt dishonest! That is not social anxiety!

#am i autistic? adhd? fucked if i know! #I have some strong suspicions from past data and too much Catholic Guilt to ever assume out loud #how dare i assume i might be suffering when there’s other who definitely are keep your head down and just push thru!

Oh my god. You know it’s getting bad when you start doing things you don’t even want to do to procrastinate on something you really do want to do.

It would be one thing if it were something like a hobby; but the thing I want to do is also extremely necessary to my life.

#Hhhhhhngh #for three weeks I’ve been doing this #I’ve had all the time in the world #and I have a sneaking suspicion that I’m doing this out of a subconscious desire to prove to myself that I’m actually fucked up in the head #Which is already proof enough that I have that desire in the first place; but I keep going because it’s not enough #I only ever feel like I need care when I’m at my absolute worst #And suddenly after being so exhausted that I fell asleep at 7:00 some days; I’m staying up until 2:30 AM and waking up at 8:00??? #and I feel fine and perfectly awake; but still can’t manage to get myself out of bed until 10:00 because Comfy #I sit and I read for an hour; then I go on my phone and emerge at 5:00 PM #If I go in the bathroom it takes forever to get back out because I end up talking to myself in the mirror about god knows what #I feel like I need some kind of… idk… very strong stimulant in me so I can actually care about things #not that stimulants work like that; but I need to have some kind of catastrophic life event… to get beaten up or something #something to put pure fear and concern in my veins #It is summer and there is almost no chance of me getting kicked or catching a football in the wrong place #and I don’t have to run right now either #I could do something #I know how #But even that is a damned if you do damned if you don’t situation; because that ALSO makes me not want to do things #At least then I’d have a palpable (literally) excuse but uh…. I’m still kind of getting over the last time #I am on my phone all day and I recognize that’s bad; but the thing I need to do is to send an email… which is on my phone; so there’s that #hypocritical #idk there’s something about using limited supplies to deal with a problem that needs more and hoping for the best #it excites me #Makes me feel like a big boy who can handle serious situations #But if I create the problem then it means nothing except that I cannot handle problems at all #I should not have all the responsibilities I do because I am not entirely in my right mind #I am thinking about it though #It’s tempting #get behind me satan

Mmm... will probably be reblogging others' posts less here from now on, because I really can't enter the majority of blogs in the fandom without exposing myself to nsfw content and such. This goes against my religious principles and I used to rely on the supposition that it was ok as long as it wasn't my goal to find it, but someone who's opinion I respect recently told me I absolutely shouldn't do it.

I have a pretty large backlog of saved posts, I may yet put up here though...

Anyway, thought this was something I should get off my chest.

#There are a *few* Tolkien blogs that are safe for me. but I do feel some guilt over relying on them #because that's just outsourcing the problem. I have a strong suspicion those people are also going against their principles... #being people of religion themselves #personal #I guess

I’m currently reading about the proposals that circulated during the late 19th and early 20th century to unify Romania and Bulgaria under a single federation, and the main source for these that I found is Bulgarian. 

#i have so much to learn… #it makes sense why i’ve never heard about this before #most romanian historians are strong proponents of the latin continuity theory #which claims that daco-romans continued to speak latin and live on the land of the former roman province dacia even after aurelian’s retrea #the idea of a bulgaro-romanian union in the late 19th and early 20th centuries #(a time period so crucial for the formation of the romanian state) #would have weakened the latin continuity theory #and strengthened the immigrationist theory which argues that daco-romans settled south of the danube after the roman retreat #which in turn would have de-legitimized romania’s claim for transylvania #thoughts are being thunk #bulgarian mutuals if you’re reading this i’d love to read your experience with this side of history #and how it was taught to you in school (if at all) #i can’t shake off the suspicion that the lack of romanian literature on this makes this one-sided… #my entries #romania #bulgaria

Absolutely! <3

5. What if Mari was aroace in this wouldn't that be funny

You have found: OHSHC AU (Keysmash AU)

Your snippet:

You know how, when the school year starts up, a teacher might get everyone to go around the room and give a couple of vague facts about themselves? Or, even worse, they might split everyone up into teams based on some random, inconsequential factors and they would all be forced to work together on some dumb task? You know how everyone hates that? Yeah. Marinette thought that, of all people, her fellow high schoolers would understand. But alas, here she was, glaring down Dick because he wanted to do a team-building exercise. Bastard. She was going to shoot him. With a paintball gun! Because they were playing paintball!

8. Sometimes things don't go as planned :)

You have found: the villain MC au! MC starts questioning everything after visiting S.T.Y.X. She snaps. But then, the magical mirror in her room decides it's going to send her on another adventure. Back in time. To meet the version of her who had just defeated their first Overblot back in the mines.

Your snippet:

“Do you want to know how many Overblots were at S.T.Y.X.?” She asked, her eyes gleaming. “Twenty-three. They had collected twenty-three over generations, and yet somehow we had met seven by that point. And we were about to meet another three.” Her face paled. “That’s statistically irregular,” Ness continued, her lips pulling into a strange kind of smile. “Too irregular.”

15. Baby baby baby noooooo

You have found: Twst with a very little twist

Your snippet:

“Hi, Mistah.” The boy waved back with a tiny smile of his own. “Deuce,” he said lightly. “Doos.” “Juice,” Ace chipped in, a sly grin making its way over his face. Deuce’s eyes narrowed at him. He opened his mouth to retort –. “Juice! I like juice!” Curly offered his opinion on juice. Or maybe his opinion on Deuce. Honestly, it was kind of hard to tell. Deuce certainly took it the second way, because he visibly melted a little.
