Hey kiddos, I know things are really hard right now and this is really bad news for the queer community. Things won't be easy and there's no use pretending they will be. But I promise, if we support each other, we will survive this. There is hope. There is action. There is resilience. There is strength. There is protest. And there will be a trans inclusive future if we make there be one.

Today I want to discuss something I think about often:
The Herobrine Easter Egg in the official 10th Anniversary Minecraft Map.
I always love when Mojang makes a nod to Herobrine.
In conclusion, it's been years since the 10th anniversary of Minecraft, but I still really enjoy thinking and talking about this adventure map and its Herobrine easter egg.
I love Standard Galactic Alphabet and learned it myself, so it's really cool to have something that makes it essentially canon that Herobrine knows SGA, which is an ability that I've given them in my own stories for a long time.
james has nothing to complain about. he knows that better than anyone, and he's an expert at keeping his mouth shut. so what if his mother hovers, if she doesn't like to have him out of her sight, if he spent his childhood sheltered and wrapped in a nest of silk to keep him from being injured, so when he left home for the first time every little sting felt like an apocalypse? his father has high and unbending expectations of him, expectations that feel impossible to reach, but doesn't everyone's father have expectations like that?
james is an only child. his parents wanted many, many children, and he has to be all of them, all at once, all the time.
a daughter to teach to bake and sew, a son to teach to fly, a sensitive boy to be instructed in music and poetry, the tomboyish daughter monty imagined for himself as a boy, shrugging off dress robes and complaining when the dirt is scrubbed from under his nails, the ghosts of these siblings he would not have are another thing he will not cannot complain about. his father tells him to be less of a perfectionist while he watches james ice christmas cookies with his mother, james smiles like he's grateful for the advice, and he is so expert at keeping his mouth shut he doesn't ask where room for imperfection might be. the grade he'd gotten, an Acceptable in place of Outstanding, only once, that sent his father's glowing smile into a muted, polite one, still haunts him. are you sure you have time for quidditch this year, james?
james has nothing to complain about. compared to his friends, every sadness in his life is petty and minuscule. ungrateful, he called himself, viciously, when he hid from his mother that summer after first year just so he could be alone for a little while, without someone watching him, or asking incessant, well-meaning questions about every thought in his head. it's a good thing for your parents to be interested in you. it's nice that she loves you so much she wants to spend the entire summer with you. he's lucky. he's always been so lucky. he's being spoiled, and ungrateful, when he hides in the garden until the sun goes down and still can't make himself go back inside the house. they're right to scold him when they find him sleeping underneath a canopy of trees. you scared us half to death, james.
golden child, beloved, arrogant, snooty, spoiled, these things sirius says about his brother make james' stomach twist in a bad way. he always looks so miserable, doesn't reg know he doesn't have anything to complain about? compared to sirius, no one ever has anything to complain about. regulus is far and away the favourite child, in sirius' eyes, and his parents do much of the same things james' do, his mother hovers and coddles him, his father has high and unbending expectations of him.
the most insurmountable differences between them come in the matter of punishment.
james' punishments are slaps on the wrist, or disappointed looks, or his mother weeping at the dinner table because of him. his parents yell sometimes, when he really makes them angry, and sometimes at his worst moments, when he is the most horrible, the most ungrateful for what he has, the most selfish and ignorant and boneheaded, james wishes they would just hit him so he'd be able to hate them without feeling so guilty for it. instead, every time he acts out, no matter how bad he is, no matter how much he fucks up, all he gets is more guilt piled on his shoulders. all we've given you, and this is how you choose to repay us? do you have any idea what life was like for me when i was your age? james stares sullenly at his knees while his father asks him if he's happy, now that he made his mother cry.
regulus is subjected to the same punishments as sirius, just not nearly as frequently, because he always does as he's told. obedience is rewarded with heaps of admiration. regulus is deprived of nothing. guilt chews on him. when sirius is forced into the shadowy peripheries of rooms, and forgotten, or shunned, love is dispensed in excess to regulus, simply to punish sirius, who gets not a scrap of it. the resentment building between them like a wall of ice is another punishment devised by their mother, though it takes both brothers far too long to realize it.
compared to regulus, james has nothing to complain about. when they secretly begin to spend more time together than they should, he swallows every shadow of discontent in his relationship with his parents with quiet understanding that to speak about any of this would be more indulgent than anyone could deserve, and beyond indulgent, disrespectful. it would be ungrateful to complain about his parents loving him too much. yet, when regulus whispers, with halting, carefully diplomatic intonation, that he wonders sometimes if it would have been better for him if his parents loved him a little less, james feels the least lonely he ever has.
the first time james betrays his parents, and reciprocates, with shamefaced reluctance, any of his quiet resentment, the weight lifted off of his shoulders is so astronomical it feels like the smallest breath of wind could lift him off the ground. instead of ridicule, or anger, or any sort of polite reassurance, regulus seems to mirror james' guilty lightness. they decide even if they're bad people for feeling the way they do about their parents, at least they can be bad, ungrateful, spoiled brats together. understanding is like a splint for a broken bone they'd been stoically ignoring for their entire lives. alone together, when the smothering weight of adoration is peeled off of them, they both breathe freely for the very first time.
I may be outta the fandom, but I still love this game - and what devs are doing is Stupid. Devs, for the love of earth, stop what you've been huffing and fix this mess.
What did rep quests ever do to you? Removing Battle Drills? Okay, fine, I guess. Maybe? I dunno.
But removing lore? Touching the lore - which you literally advertise since ever, 'cause it's an OPEN WORLD RPG gacha game? …Y'know, something that literally needs a story? What gets players hooked on the product and keeps them around? Yeah?
You do know people who don't care about lore can SKIP and get their rewards? Or just.. not bother with clan rep quests?? Right? So why, oh why pray tell, remove it??? And just - what're you doing, Lilith?
Yeah, I'm not happy with what you did to Starter Story, replacing it with Homestead ( but there's still lore in a way, so it's ok ) or the Voyage of Wonders thing.
But those I could kinda look aside - except for when you touch the damn lore AND REMOVE IT!
Also, did you not clock in that artists, theorists, lore players, fan-writers and others are like… dunno… MARKETING TEAM in a way? Sure, we ain't hired and paid like typical official marketing team, but we still do a lot of promoting. And it's effective. More than your ads!
You want that marketing & advertisement gone, devs? That's gonna lead to dropping revenue. Actually you losing a lot of money!
Ye, big spenders give revenue, but… you need numbers, big numbers, to keep the product relevant long-term or you'll end up with something like Overwatch.
Spenders will quit, too, at some point. Because they got no competition in rankings. It's already started happening! You know, what gets you revenue? Them buying all those packs 'n what-not. To stay top ranks, competitive, etc.
(Nevermind that many folks also found friends through this game, although you don't seem to care about that. Only money.)
Also, buying cosmetics from travelogues and Rosy cosmetics, which have been, in my humble opinion, getting just wayyy too expensive. ( Rosy store and cosmetics was a mistake from the start, but whatever- )
Recently poor designs too for Fable Road ( Taurus outfit- ) and not to mention the mostly bland ones from Velvet Store!
Lilith games, do you really wanna speedrun becoming Overwatch and have a dead game? ….Like your other game, Dislyte? (Even though I hear that one's still floating - unlike Overwatch. But you get it.)
Guess you don't actually want money - enshittifying your product in all directions with stupid decisions, driving off marketing (let's face it, your "ads" are shit. No one likes those bullshit ai ads.), ignoring major part of your player base (low-mid spenders, f2p. ) and their feedback… What're you doing?
If you want money, stop this stupidity. Fix your mess. Improve the product actually, and why not… make a merch-store where people can buy stuff? If you got one, promote it more & better, 'cause only contests ain't good enough. (Also, apparently, even those rewards were reduced???)
And, while at it…. Cut back on shoving ai down our throats!!!
(Being a Chinese company ain't an excuse or a pass, because I've seen some people are trying to justify stuff like these with these kinds of replies. If the devs want to, they can do quality stuff over quantity! Saying that " they can't do that, because they're a Chinese company " is a bland af excuse!)
I promise you, humans, most humans, actually like and want HUMAN-MADE stuff! Trust me on that!
Seriously, fix your mess and stop with the stupidity.

Finch Rambles: MHA headcanons, Iida family edition
Mama Iida (given name unknown)
- It’s mentioned in the “Ultra Analysis” databook that she used to be a hero. I’m guessing she retired early for some unknown reason.
- At the height of her career, she teamed up with Raimei Kaminari, AKA Denki’s mom, AKA Pro Hero Catenary.
- Her Engine quirk is situated in her calves, much like her son Tenya.
- The surname “Iida” is from her side of the family.
- Much like her sons, her name begins with the “Ten” sound. (I can’t get more specific than that.)
Tenya and Tensei:
- The Iida’s always wanted more than one kid, but for the longest time, it never seemed to work out.
- When he was younger, Tensei would ask for a younger sibling for Christmas/any other special occasion every year, to no avail. His prayers were finally answered by the time he was in high school.
- Open space is a requirement for any member of the Iida family. Almost all of them, save for Tenya and Tensei’s father, get “the zoomies.”
- Both brothers enjoy watching old mecha anime, such as Macross and Gundam.
- Tenya takes after his mom in appearance and personality, while Tensei more resembles his dad.
- They’re both autistic.
Other stuff:
- They have three pets: two cats (a silver tabby named Turbo and a brown tabby named Skanda) and a border collie dog named Jet.
- Mr. Iida (the dad) is a structural engineer. He does have a Quirk, but it is (in his opinion) rather unremarkable.
