To Whom It May Concern:

I regret nothing

every time i listen to “you’re a mean one mr. grinch” i can’t help but sit there and think “what did the grinch do to hurt you?” because dude just stands there for 2 minutes and 58 seconds and drags the grinch into the dirt

Reasons I believe my friend is secretly some kind of deity

1) First time we spoke was a week after the beggining of freshman year she summed up my entire character and most of the events of my life Sherlock style. I asked her how the hell she knew all that. She just shrugged and said she figured out our entire class already.

2) The one time we had religion class instead of ethics she listened to the teacher for a few minutes, laughed and told me:

“Humans have wished to be gods so much they’ve forgotten they have to ability to create them. Imagination has truly suffered from this ‘monotheism’ stuff.”

I was confused and asked her if she was an atheist. She rolled her eyes and said:

“Oh I believe in god alright. I just don’t think the bastard deserves to be worshipped.”

3) Out of nowhere she gave me this advice:

“The only truth a liar ever told was that lies weren’t going to save you. Don’t become the liar who has to pass that wisdom on, because they speak from experience.”

4) To this day, she has one of those old-timey phones with buttons she only uses to ocassionally call someone. When I asked her why she never got a smartphone she got pouty:

“I hate social media. On Facebook they talk a lot but never say anything. If I wanted to listen to people moan about their problems and ask for help they don’t expect I’d listen to their prayers.” (Notice the choice of words)

5) I noticed she was stiff and I offered her a massage since I’m really good at it but when i started kneading her back I swear to this day those were not muscles I felt. I asked her what she did to turn her muscles into rocks covered with a thin layer of skin and she kinda froze then shrugged and said she was just really, really stiff. My hands hurt after ten minutes when I can usually go for an hour. Next time I offered she seemed surprised and laughed. She still has rocks for muscles.

6) We were having a debate over the way neural pathways are formed (I study biology and she forensics) and I jokingly asked if I could have her brain for study when she dies. She laughed.

“Sure, if you find a way to kill me you can have it. I’m actually curious what you’re gonna find.”

7) One time she was tired and miserable and I tried to comfort her. We both have really dark sense of humor so I told her she could scare the dead out of their graves with that glare. She told me the dead can’t come back and I rolled my eyes and said ‘obviously’ but she continued:

“When you die you descend to the underworld with nothing to lose. To keep you, they give you something to lose. When you want to return, they will demand it back. That’s why nobody ever leaves. The only way out is to never enter.”

8) One day she just came up to me with a disappointed look on her face. When I asked her what was wrong she was quiet for a few seconds and then just told me:

“Betrayals committed in good intentions are still damning. Just… keep that in mind.” Then she left and didn’t speak to me for three days. I still don’t know what she meant but even three years later I haven’t forgotten it.

9) We were casually sitting on a bench when, out of nowhere, she asked me: “Is it just me or have humans gotten dumber? Or have they always been this stupid and I just haven’t been paying attention?”

10) She asked me if I ever wondered what it was like to die. I said no but told her I would tell her when I found out. I meant it as a ghost joke but she smiled at me and said:

“Great. I’ll wait for you to come back. Maybe you’ll even remember me.”

In conclusion, she is some kind of low-key god and she lost her faith in humanity even before we lost our faith in her but she’s stuck with us because immortality is a bitch.

P.S. I just remembered her name is a variation on ‘Eve’. Maybe I should reconsider my atheist status?!

UPDATE (Jan 9, 2019): Since people liked this so much I’m making it a thing. All I have about Eve can be found under #god goes to college

Please don't attack people for shipping people's personas, it's just the characters not the real people. They aren't harming anyone and alot of them are probably kids. If you see someone is shipping something bad, then tell them that it's bad and why or just report it, DO NOT threaten them. Threatening them is wrong and makes you the bad one. Stop Threatening them.

BIG rant ahead

okay cucks, i’m probably about to say one of the most controversial things in the history of the hermitcraft fandom

i know for a FACT that this will indeed get lots of backlash, and it’s something that has probably been said once in the past but should be said again

i have noticed that, in this fandom, there’s lots of controversy around shipping the hermits. well, of course there’s going to be shipping and controversies on the shipping, it’s in pretty much every fandom in existence.

but, i got word from a friend of mine (will not say the name of either the friend or the server) that there is literally a shipper-hunter role in said discord that they joined

a shipper. hunter. role.

now, i highly doubt the people on this discord realize how absolutely insane it is of them to simply hunt down people that think two (or more) hermits would be cute together

if it was the irl people and not the hermits’ personas they were shipping, then i could kind of see the reasoning. but since they’re more than likely targeting the ones that are still living, functioning human beings that just ship their sonas? how has this fandom not realized how absolutely toxic that is?

i genuinely thought that hermitcraft would be one of the most welcoming and friendly fandoms i’ve joined, and i still believe that! but, there is so much hate and toxicity towards one of the biggest parts of fandoms and it’s absolutely ridiculous

i’m not defending shippers or non-shippers in this. i want to clarify that right now.

also, i’m not saying that ALL non-shippers witch hunt or are like this. i have noticed that majority of the non-shippers just don’t condone shipping and/or wish that shippers don’t interact with them, which is 100% reasonable, as it is their decision! i have respect for those who do this instead of showing hate towards shippers. blocking a shipper is also a much easier and effective way that isn’t attacking them.

so, seriously, if you have a problem with shippers/shipping, blocking the person or requesting that shippers don’t interact with you or your blog is so much easier and so much nicer than hunting them down and harasssing them.

remember mate, you’re a human with feelings, just like the person you’re attacking.

thank you to those who read this all the way through, and have a nice day wherever you are.

Ways to support Ukraine 🇺🇦

More than 500,000 people have already left Ukraine due to the invasion by the Russian Federation. The European Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management estimates that roughly 18 million Ukrainians will be affected by the conflict in humanitarian terms, with 7 million internally displaced and 4 million seeking refuge elsewhere. To help those still in Ukraine, as well as Ukrainian refugees, we’ve compiled this list of resources.

HelpUkraineWin.org has a collection of vetted and trusted resources, charities, and organizations to help Ukraine.

Some additional ways to donate:

Vostok SOS provides immediate evacuation support.

Malteser International provides essentials for Ukrainian refugees.

Ukraine Crisis Media Center provides fundraising links and a list of tips for sharing information.

Misinformation spreads fast on social media. It is more important than ever to share accurate, verifiable news and information. Here are some resources to learn how to identify misinformation:

This link from the nonprofit WITNESS shares tips for identifying authentic video sources (available in English, Spanish, Ukranian, Russian, and Arabic).
