I forgot to post it here : A small treehouse, made for pixel_dailies.
Here it is folks:
My definitive ranking of my least favorite bodies of water! These are ranked from least to most scary (1/10 is okay, 10/10 gives me nightmares). I’m sorry this post is long, I have a lot of thoughts and feelings about this.
The Great Blue Hole, Belize
I’ve been here! I have snorkeled over this thing! It is terrifying! The water around the hole is so shallow you can’t even swim over the coral without bumping it, and then there’s a little slope down, and then it just fucking drops off into the abyss! When you’re over the hole the water temperature drops like 10 degrees and it’s midnight blue even when you’re right by the surface. Anyway. The Great Blue Hole is a massive underwater cave, and its roughly 410 feet deep. Overall, it’s a relatively safe area to swim. It’s a popular tourist attraction and recreational divers can even go down and explore some of the caves. People do die at the Blue Hole, but it is generally from a lack of diving experience rather than anything sinister going on down in the depths. My rating for this one is 1/10 because I’ve been here and although it’s kinda freaky it’s really not that bad.
Lake Baikal, Russia
When I want to give myself a scare I look at the depth diagram of this lake. It’s so deep because it’s not a regular lake, it’s a Rift Valley, A massive crack in the earth’s crust where the continental plates are pulling apart. It’s over 5,000 feet deep and contains one-fifth of all freshwater on Earth. Luckily, its not any more deadly than a normal lake. It just happens to be very, very, freakishly deep. My rating for this lake is a 2/10 because I really hate looking at the depth charts but just looking at the lake itself isn’t that scary.
Jacob’s Well, Texas
This “well” is actually the opening to an underwater cave system. It’s roughly 120 feet deep, surrounded by very shallow water. This area is safe to swim in, but diving into the well can be deadly. The cave system below has false exits and narrow passages, resulting in multiple divers getting trapped and dying. My rating is a 3/10, because although I hate seeing that drop into the abyss it’s a pretty safe place to swim as long as you don’t go down into the cave (which I sure as shit won’t).
The Devil’s Kettle, Minnesota
This is an area in the Brule River where half the river just disappears. It literally falls into a hole and is never seen again. Scientists have dropped in dye, ping pong balls, and other things to try and figure out where it goes, and the things they drop in never resurface. Rating is 4/10 because Sometimes I worry I’m going to fall into it.
Flathead Lake, Montana
Everyone has probably seen this picture accompanied by a description about how this lake is actually hundreds of feet deep but just looks shallow because the water is so clear. If that were the case, this would definitely rank higher, but that claim is mostly bull. Look at the shadow of the raft. If it were hundreds of feet deep, the shadow would look like a tiny speck. Flathead lake does get very deep, but the spot the picture was taken in is fairly shallow. You can’t see the bottom in the deep parts. However, having freakishly clear water means you can see exactly where the sandy bottom drops off into blackness, so this still ranks a 5/10.
The Lower Congo River, multiple countries
Most of the Congo is a pretty normal, if large, River. In the lower section of it, however, lurks a disturbing surprise: massive underwater canyons that plunge down to 720 feet. The fish that live down there resemble cave fish, having no color, no eyes, and special sensory organs to find their way in the dark. These canyons are so sheer that they create massive rapids, wild currents and vortexes that can very easily kill you if you fall in. A solid 6/10, would not go there.
Little Crater Lake, Oregon
On first glance this lake doesn’t look too scary. It ranks this high because I really don’t like the sheer drop off and how clear it is (because it shows you exactly how deep it goes). This lake is about 100 feet across and 45 feet deep, and I strongly feel that this is too deep for such a small lake. Also, the water is freezing, and if you fall into the lake your muscles will seize up and you’ll sink and drown. I don’t like that either. 7/10.
Grand Turk 7,000 ft drop off
No. 8/10. I hate it.
Gulf of Corryvreckan, Scotland
Due to a quirk in the sea floor, there is a permanent whirlpool here. This isn’t one of those things that looks scary but actually won’t hurt you, either. It absolutely will suck you down if you get too close. Scientists threw a mannequin with a depth gauge into it and when it was recovered the gauge showed it went down to over 600 feet. If you fall into this whirlpool you will die. 9/10 because this seems like something that should only be in movies.
The Bolton Strid, England
This looks like an adorable little creek in the English countryside but it’s not. Its really not. Statistically speaking, this is the most deadly body of water in the world. It has a 100% mortality rate. There is no recorded case of anyone falling into this river and coming out alive. This is because, a little ways upstream, this isn’t a cute little creek. It’s the River Wharfe, a river approximately 30 feet wide. This river is forced through a tiny crack in the earth, essentially turning it on its side. Now, instead of being 30 feet wide and 6 feet deep, it’s 6 feet wide and 30 feet deep (estimated, because no one actually knows how deep the Strid is). The currents are deadly fast. The banks are extremely undercut and the river has created caves, tunnels and holes for things (like bodies) to get trapped in. The innocent appearance of the Strid makes this place a death trap, because people assume it’s only knee-deep and step in to never be seen again. I hate this river. I have nightmares about it. I will never go to England just because I don’t want to be in the same country as this people-swallowing stream. 10/10, I live in constant fear of this place.
Honorable mention: The Quarry, Pennsylvania
I don’t know if that’s it’s actual name. This lake gets an honorable mention not because it’s particularly deep or dangerous, but it’s where I almost drowned during a scuba diving accident.
Edit: I’ve looked up the name of the quarry, it’s called Crusty’s Quarry and is privately owned and only used for training purposes, not recreational diving.

Some Miser Family headcanons!
As the Goddess of every element Mother Nature created all her children by herself.
Heat and Snow, Lightning and Thunder, The Tides are twins; Wind Siblings are quadruplets.
Heat Miser (element of fire and heat) – He may be very grumpy, short-tempered and rough but deep inside he’s a very sensitive person. He doesn’t like when people are afraid of him and hates being called the devil.
Heat Miser fears nothing, except the strictness of his mother.
He controls the Sun and also makes the weather warm or hot. When Heat is mad, he can unintentionally cause large fires.
Snow Miser (element of ice and cold) – The most joyful guy in the family. He’s funny and charismatic. And he’s the one who is always ready to cheer up his family members. However, sometimes he can be too careless and may not notice how some of his jokes can too rough, even if he doesn’t want to hurt the feeling of others. Because of that he often argues with his brother Heat Miser.
His duty is to make the weather cold and to cover the earth and trees with snow so that they don’t freeze so much.
The North Wind (element of clouds and winter) – The leading wind among Wind Siblings. Prideful and snooty, he lacks consideration for others. He used to achieving his goals by deceiving others and has an inflated sense of self-importance and impunity.
He creates clouds for precipitations, controls the northern winds, makes air cold and dry and is in charge of the winter season.
His hobby is causing storms and cloud sculpturing, he loves to shape clouds into different forms of animals or objects.
The East Wind (element of rain, fog and autumn) – The fear of all animals and an extremely passionate hunter. The one who invented the hunting season. She’s very strict and conservative, thinks that all creatures should live by established rules.
It is her duty to make the weather rainy and foggy. She often creates rain showers during the summer in order to save plants from hot winds of her sister South.
She controls the eastern winds, makes air cool and moist and is in charge of the autumn season.
The South Wind (element of sand, dust and summer) – Mistress of the deserts. For the hottest wind she’s pretty chill. She doesn’t like to be bothered by anything or anyone. The only things she really loves is dancing and singing.
South Wind creates dust and sand storms. She often causes drought around the world. She controls the southern winds, makes air hot and dry and is in charge of the summer season.
The West Wind (element of flora, fauna and spring) – Even if she’s the sixth child in the family all elements treat her as the youngest sister. She’s very loving and sympathetic.
Her duty is to regulate the population of each species. She also revives the nature after the winter and is in charge of the spring season. She controls the western winds and makes air warm and moist.
Lightning (element of light and lightning) – A perfectionist with very high standards which makes her worry a lot about diligent fulfillment of her duties. She’s self-disciplined and responsible, but sometimes she can be too nervous and fussy.
Lightning controls the sky; she charges the earth with the energy of light by throwing lightning bolts, so that plants can grow faster.
She has very strainer relations with her twin brother Thunder because of their different personalities.
Thunder (element of sound) – The smartest child in the family. His siblings often ask him for advice. He doesn’t like bustle and prefer to stay quiet. Some people see him as a very shy and slothful person. He can play all types of musical instruments, but his most favorite is violin.
He’s jealous of Lightning and feels extremely underappreciated. He’s responsible for warning all living creatures on the Earth before his sister throws her bolts, but due to a lot of quarrels between them and Thunder’s bad reaction he does it too late. That’s why we always hear thunder clap after the lightning.
Earthquake (element of earth) – Very kind and sincere guy. Sometimes people consider him a tactless person, but he never had intentions to be rude to anyone on purpose.
His duty is to form the landscape and caves, to generally decide where which biome should be. He creates precious recourses such as gems and metals.
While making the earth shake he doesn’t care about living creatures at all, especially about people. In the past they made him cry a lot and so hard that his face cracked because of the tears. That’s why in some places seismic activity is a more common phenomenon than in others, because he doesn’t like people who live there for hurting him and his minions.
He resolves territorial disputes of his siblings.
Ebb/The Low Tide and Flow/The High Tide (elements of ocean) – Known as The Tides. They have completely opposite personalities. If Ebb is gentle and soft, then Flow is pushy and stubborn.
Brothers control the water movements.
Ebb prefers to live deep in the ocean, because he doesn’t want to communicate with people who he sees as a threat to the aquatic world.
Flow likes to cause large tsunamis and floods. He gets mad when someone fishes on his territory. He also always fights with The South Wind for the costal lands.

I tried to explain some nature phenomena in their headcanons.
If you still have any questions you can ask me.
Actually, I got a better idea: CdawgVA
Get it? Cause he’s ALSO a brown eyed, brunette white guy from the UK who ALSO happens to be a theatre kid???
If I ever make works relating to the dsmp, I’m gonna replace wildurr with a modified version of 2019 schlatt (he’s British and an artist) cause at this point Tommy will need a new older brother figure (after a few months to a few years of grieving and wrapping his head around the situation ofc) cause the poor thing would need SOMEONE (OR SOME PEOPLE) to replace the Wildur shaped hole in his heart, cause HOLY SHET!!!
Anywho, I’m excited for the new weeklyslap video! :3
(I’m sorry, that was a terrible joke)
