Okay but given that you can make alcohol from just about any plant, a world built around Minecraft could have SUCH a liquor cabinet.

You’ve got your basics, the potato and wheat vodka, gin, whiskey, then rum from sugarcane or beet sugar if you’re feeling a little adventurous.

Then you’ve got the fancier things. Dandelion and melon wine, spike vodka, pumpkin liqueur, applejack. Zhuyeqing jiu and chocolate liquor if you REALLY want to go for the cool stuff.

You’ve got mead and all kinds of moonshine, everything from carrots to kelp to sawdust brandy if you live out in the Badlands. Sunflower and rose spirits, lilac wine, even milk liquor and advocaat if you want to deviate from plants a bit.

But then you’ve got the plants that don’t exist in our sphere.

Chorus liqueur, dripleaf absinthe, glowberry champagne and sweet berry wine, glow lichen beer and crème de spore blossom, golden apple cider, glistering cordial. For the truly danger-seeking, wither rose lanique.

#minecraft #worldbuilding #alcohol tw #that's not even going into the FLAVORS you can add!!! #mushrooms and shroomlights in beer #nether wart maybe as a common flavoring #all kinds of cocktails and stuff #you've got different woods for barrels too #and allium is technically onion so #that's a WHOLE new can of flavors there #fun fact as i was researching this i found out there's an alcohol made from carrots that's just called C #we should do more with carrots seriously #also also lichens were used to make beer historically! #it was a brief stint but it's possible #also sawdust brandy. that's actually from an old loz project #i was trying to look up what kinds of alcohol would be possible in a decaying world like lorule #and sawdust brandy was up there #edit: if people are seeing this version where kefir is replaced #yes kefir is (minorly) alcoholic #you can fail a dui test if you have enough of it #in the same sense that poppy seed muffins can make you fail an opium test #if your tolerance is super low you CAN get buzzed off it #however #I put it on the list initially to have something milk-based for alcohol #it was originally kumis which is stronger #but it’s mare milk and you can’t get milk from horses in minecraft #I have since replaced it with milk liquor because 1. lithuania somehow has done it #and 2. china made vodka out of milk??????? #the site called it lai jiu but I can’t find anywhere else calling it that #so milk liquor it is!

my greatest flaw is that i would lowkey ship sokka/azula if i wasn’t so convinced that azula is a lesbian. bc just think about it. they’re both these hyper logical calculating masterminds with debilitating perfectionist complexes to hide their perceived worthlessness, so they’re constantly achieving, and while they never feel any real joy in winning, they get actually suicidal the second they fail at anything. they think everyone who can’t keep up with them is some sort of idiot because they refuse to live in a world where they are in fact more intelligent than most people, including the adults around them. they love making the most insufferable puns you’ve ever heard and get offended if no one laughs. they have daddy issues and mommy issues. they share so many of the things they have wrong with them. so like. just imagine how amazingly awful they would be as a couple. they would indisputably make each other worse , but in the most disastrously entertaining way possible.

#they would be SUCH a terrible couple. they would take over the world together. it would be awesome #pretty much every water / fire ship configuration involves them making each other worse #katara & zuko also have too many flaws in common #and katara & azula doesn’t work on any level but is SO juicy #both despite and because of that #the only exception is that sokka & zuko do make each other better unfortunately #I wish it could be a perfect quadrant delivering four different flavors of Nightmare Couple #but unfortunately zukka would work. really well actually #like canonically #azulasokka is still the funniest possible one tho #and I still think their friendship has the potential to be so awesome #just constant wordplay and bitching about idiots #toph mentions in passing what a trainwreck it would be if they ever dated #and sokka laughs until he cries while azula chuckles but is secretly thinking ‘why is that so funny? i would be a perfect gf...’ #azula #sokka #azula&sokka #unique kind of post for sokklas AND antisokklas #schrodingers sokkla

I’ve only been playing magic the gathering for a few months and I feel like I understand how it works pretty well, but I tend to pick things up quick anyway so it makes me wonder how comprehensive it is to complete strangers to the game.

For people who don’t play magic: one of the types of cards is “creatures,” which are left on the playing field and have numerical values called “power” and “toughness,” meaning strength and health. During one player’s turn, they may have their creatures attack another player, which requires them to be “tapped” (turned sideways); being tapped prevents the creature from doing other actions, including blocking. However, creatures that were played the same turn can’t be tapped to attack. For each attacking creature, the defending player chooses one of their own creatures to block it, and blocking creatures do not tap. If an attacking creature is blocked, both creatures deal their power against the other’s toughness as if fighting. Creatures that are not blocked damage the other player’s life total.

With this in mind, creatures can have additional abilities that modify the above combat process. Each of the following “keywords” is used to summarize a sentence or two of additional rules that apply to creatures who have the keyword on their card. I’ve sorted them in what I personally consider to be most to least intuitive, and would like any willing non-players to try and guess their effects without looking them up:

Deathtouch

Trample

Double Strike

First Strike

Lifelink

Flying

Reach

Haste

Vigilance

Menace

#this isn’t a super scientific post so I don’t expect a lot of answers but anyone else is welcome to reblog #also obligatory this isn’t every combat-relevant keyword just most of the most common ones #and some of the rarer ones Are like. more flavorful conceptually than necessarily easy to understand from the name

saw some tags on one of your posts and u have a cat name midna?? 🥺 I love that 🥺 can we see a pic pretty please

oh boy do I EVER have a cat named midna. and she is Deranged

(bonus: rare photo of midna being NOT a maniac + tiny baby muppet midna)

#today I went digging under the couch to figure out where all her springs went #and found THREE of my d20s which I guess she stole during my last dnd game without my noticing #like I knew she was picking up my dice but I didn’t realize she was STEALING THEM AND DROPPING THEM UNDER THE COUCH #she’s a menace to society with zero common sense too much energy zero fear and a talent for being annoying on purpose #when she wants my attention she will not just go do something she knows she shouldn’t #she will loudly meow first to make sure I’m watching. and then do the thing she knows she shouldn’t #she’s a PEST and she’ll be one year old on February 2nd #and I love her even if she’s probably an alien #asks #and yes her eyes are actually that brown/orange in real life #midna is: very vocal. extremely bossy. probably the pickiest cat on the planet. big fan of eating plastic tho #crunchy treats? chewy treats? of any flavor? freeze dried minnows? no #plastic bag? mmm yum munch munch

I agree that nobody should be basing ideas around safe(r) kink from fantasy posts on tumblr, but I've come across plenty of educational posts on here that were genuinely helpful and enlightening. I don't think it's fair to suggest that they're all lying.

one of the most popular posts i ever used to see on here before i blocked OP was a guide for how to safely choke someone. not how to choke someone more safely, safer. how to do it SAFELY. this post, which continues to be extremely popular and has no doubt inspired a great deal of play, advises CUTTING OFF BLOOD TO THE BRAIN as a safe way to do choking!!!

obviously there are plenty of posts that are not out here insisting that actually there are 0 risks to choking your partner until they pass out, but there are a great number of posts that poke at that sort of thing. a huge number of posts that say "doms, we subs don't know how to communicate." a huge number of posts that posit and insist that there are actual 0 risks with biting your partner anywhere.

and — maybe this is worse! — i don't think the people making these posts are lying! i think they are uninformed and sometimes reacting with anger and defensiveness because someone somewhere told them that "hey this thing you like might not be safe" or even just "you have to be capable of communication and honesty to do kink safely." nobody's writing a post and twirling their mustache about how they're gonna ruin somebody's life by getting them to choke their partner, but a lot of people are spreading irresponsible shit anyway and i think it's healthy to approach every tumblr kink post with the mindset of "there is at least a 50% chance that this information is wrong"

#Anonymous #wren speaking! #listen im a ssc person personally but also rack is good #there are plenty of rly common kink situations that are extremely risky and thats okay! #i dont care if someone does the research and decides they still wanna get choked out #i care deeply that everyone knows the risks of how they're playing and can consent to those risks fully #that information is not getting spread on tumblr. a certain flavor of kinkster gets rly mad and defensive if u try #just recently i had to see a whole 'ppl are fearmongering about choking!' post again #abt how actually its rly low-risk and everyone who says otherwise is a puritanical sex-negative pussy

12 year old lim finds a half dozen crisped up baby regnars underneath the rice cooker basin and simply does not tell anyone until like a decade later when theyre all grown and he casually brings it up. baby lizard homicide for their tasty savory rice

#julian: did you change what you do with the rice? it's missing its usual... flavor :( #lim who has just expeditiously disposed of several small deep fried corpses in the trash pit: its probably the new water purifier. #thats the taste of No heavy metals in our food. i'm sorry #garashir adoption au #he tells the story at family dinner and everyone LOSES it #iskra: WE WERE EATING BABY CORPSE RICE??!? FOR YEARS!!??!? AND YOU NEVER TOLD US?? #idan: corpse rice! corpse rice! corpse rice! #julian: huh. It really was a unique taste.... maybe... #lim: no. i am not doing it on purpose again. fatherless behavior to suggest it. #(i feel like Fatherless behavior is a common insult for the kids to throw around lol) #julian licks his fingers after eating gragh with his hands. regnar chitlins would not bother him in the least

modern au steve harrington would vape.

#it's true #we both hide in the bathroom #i've seen it with my own eyes #steve harrington #i think he'd choose a really dumb flavor like matcha #when i tell you that some of my friends' favorite is MUNG BEAN ICE.... #this is not advocating for vaping #just that he literally smokes cigarettes #which common and not as prohibited/warned against #but face it... he would vape

some notes: I made lilac tea that I then turned into a syrup and it had a nice greenish floral taste with a slight lemony note, and it was green in color until I added lemon juice (which it pairs nicely with), which turned it pink/purple

#Last year I developed a fixation on floral flavors after eating some elderberry flower flavored ice cream #Floral flavors aren’t common in American cuisine so you have to seek them out. Anyways my lavender just arrived time for more experimenting #I got the lilac from my backyard I’m so cottage core 😏

#another thing im curious about randomly. not sure if this is a common experience or just a me thing #i personally cant have any artificial sweeteners and artificial flavors like grape/orange/watermelon/etc #because they trigger a migraine aura almost immediately. #im not really sure why #my polls #disabled #actually disabled #idk are those good tags? i want this to get to disabled circles

my fruit rankings

S tier - peaches, honeydew, watermelon, kiwi

A tier - mango, blackberries, raspberries, pineapple

B tier - apple, grapefruit, papaya, oranges

C tier - strawberries, grapes, pears

D tier - banana, plums

F tier - cantaloupe

#not counting fake fruits like nectarines or less common fruits like kumquats #also pear is low for me bc while i like pear when its good they are very hit and miss #brown pears are also only good in desserts and green pears are so scary its either succulent or grainy #i know grapes at C is controversial but i just never choose grapes over other fruits theyre just there and fake grape flavor is foul

i'm gonna try not to bring up madoka too much while watching utena because i know there's like... a rep there. but like im 6 episodes into utena and i understand i don't have the full picture yet but how on earth do people think these shows are similar enough to warrant "madoka is misogynistic garbage, go watch utena, it's basically the same but better"

#like ive rambled abt ppl calling madoka problematic before i wont rehash that rn #but like........ what exactly do these shows have in common besides purple/pink uncanny valley toxic yuri #its not even the same flavor of toxic yuri #from what im seeing utena is a story about agency and power imbalances #like. i guess they both have broken systems? but those systems also seem to work differently #the end of the world seems more cultish while kyubeys magical girls can be more closely compared to military recruiting #like... idk im getting the vibe that these ppl claiming that madoka is god awful and utena is The Good Show havent really processed either #and just dumbed both of them down to general tropes like. oh pink/purple yuri! oh horror tropes! #theyre not even from the same genre. rgu is a shoujo anime while pmmm is a magical girl anime #like. i know theres some rgu influence in pmmm but from what i know that seems to be the extent of it. influence #like. are you telling me every single deconstructive show containing yuri is similar to one another... #who's participating in fandom misogyny again? #echoed voice

dai n dark's chaotic good is still really funny bc u get to be balls to the wall sometimes but only about supporting your friends. wherever those posts are about heroes being beholden to their ideals/virtues whereas villainous charas are willing to prioritize individuals that's pretty much what i'm talking about. i know dai doesn't Look like a chaotic aligned chara whatsoever but put somebody he cares about in danger and he's the first one to start googling how to build a bomb without any prior suggestion. in any place where he feels tyrannized or oppressed by any kind of institution dai's the first to flip the bird and fuck off the grid to do his own thing. it's not about what length he'll go to but what length he won't go to in order to try to help someone, even if it's just one precious person. he's too good to be chaotic neutral but too extreme to ever be a lawful or neutral good spot. he's not pulling any lukewarm 'do the best any person can do' shit, his motto is 'DO LITERALLY WHATEVER IT TAKES' and that slots him FIRMLY in chaotic good.

#*･ﾟ⊰ 𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐒. ⊱ ✦ › OUT. #u think dai looks weak-willed right. common misconception. this kid is insane #or at the very least completely willing to do absolutely insane things for you #oaijwablkjakjfkj part of his FLAVOR #insert me trying to talk abt dark in the tags too before deleting everyth n rewriting like 10 times #there's no difference; daisuke's still dark's emotionally-operative heart. dark's controlled #completely by that influence. by daisuke's emotional influence #but as the one who's inherently lacking otherwise. it means things can be Doubly apt for dark in particular too #there are times where daisuke is conflicted and has a moral quandary or two but dark never has anything like that #it's only ever daisuke's influence that sways him this way or that emotionally and that includes even being willing to help anyone #in the first place

reason #2648572829493 to listen to night vale: in year one there is an episode called “the phone call” in which cecil spends the half hour gushing about his crush. the whole episode is very sweet and gay. the next episode is titled “valentine” so you may be thinking, ok, more developments in their relationship? wrong! valentines day is a horrible disaster that kills hundreds of night vale citizens every year. being someone’s valentine is a fate worse than death. #loveloses

I think very often about how Luffy becoming a superpowered eldritch rubber god at like ten is what allows him to be as deranged as he is with few consequences. It directly supports the whole "the world will be this way bc it's what I want" attitude. Like, don't get me wrong he was already fucking Like That obviously, but becoming basically indestructible and able to get his way by sheer force of ACTUAL will via strength is uh... Deeply Enabling that behavior innit?

(Bc if you Don't have power, no amount of kicking and screaming is gonna have the world bend to your will, y'know?)

But yeah being a strong enough force of personality and Superpower to then have a bunch of other ppl follow him to shore up his weaknesses (sea water, hunger, unable to sail, dumb of ass, etc)

re: the rest of the Straw hats like "well he helped me and keeps saying I'm crew so I guess I'm going to follow this deeply genuine but also deranged sunshiney seventeen year old into hell and back"

makes him even more undefeatable???

Dunno if I have a point, I'm just Thinking about Him, he's such a unique character 🤩🤩🤩

#thoughts #opla #one piece #one piece lb #monkey d. luffy #the Him in opla and the Him in animanga definitely have this is common tho largely i consider them different flavors

[rukafais]

what. what do you mean 'the breastmilk question'. should i ask

Oh you see when I was trawling the archives of questions people have asked Ed someone asked him questions about like, oh, are babies breastfed? or something? And he did to his credit provide that in detail

He also decided, just, ready to go, had that on the table, to be like AH YES BTW DIFFERENT RACES HAVE DIFFERENT FLAVORS OF BREASTMILK AND SOME PEOPLE IN THE REALMS PAY EXTRA FOR THIS SERVICE AT FESTHALLS FROM NURSING LADIES, WINK ;) and its like ah. Old suckly ed they call him.

#rukamemes #he had different specific flavors for the most common demihuman races btw #and was like YEAH GENETICS JUST MAKES THEM TASTE LIKE THAT!!!
