Here's a indulgent Minecraft head cannon I've decided to share with y'all.

So, I was thinking about how to include achievements into Minecraft lore and I had an idea, tattoos. For each achievement a player receives a small tattoo appears somewhere on the player's skin.

For example, you might get a wolf tattoo if you tame five wolves or you can get a wither tattoo for killing the wither. I haven't really thought about what each achievement will look like in tattoo form, but you get the jist.

Once a player gets every achievement, you can notice how all the tattoos fit together, covering the player in everything from peaceful animals to hostile beasts, from swords and pickaxes to apples and flowers. It's a beautiful sight to behold.

If a player wishes to show off, they may decide to wear clothing that carefully displays achievements the player wants to show off and hides any bare skin. It is also common for show offs to hide certain achievements to draw attention to more impressive ones. So, a player might cover up whatever tattoo you get for cow tipper to draw more attention to the ender dragon curled around their arm. Though, most players don't care what achievements are displayed, but they still enjoy unlocking achievements and earning more tattoos.

Do what you will with this head cannon, but I feel like this can make for some pretty fanart.

that thing where you're attracted to someone not in a platonic or romantic or sexual way, but in an 'i want to read about their exploits' kind of way

Ok so my kid had an ear infection, right? As kids often do.

The doctor scraped out a bit of earwax to have a better look inside.

I was sent a bill for $200 PER EAR for this 5 second procedure which I did not give permission for them to do.

That was key- they did not ASK me if they could do this "procedure". And, as I OWN a medical practice (it's me. The medical practice is me, sitting in my house on video calls) I knew to call them when this bill came in to be like "You did not obtain informed consent for this procedure, and it was not en emergency procedure. You had full ability to gain my consent and didn't. I'm not paying."

And the massive hospital who owned the bill said "yuh-huh you do have to pay."

And I said "I own a practice. I know these laws. I do not owe you money for this."

And they conducted an "internal review" and SURPRISE! Decided I totally owed them money and they had never done anything wrong ever.

And so I called my state's Attorney General office, and explained the situation because, as I mentioned, I know the law. The AG got in touch within a couple days to say they were taking the case and would send the massive hospital conglomerate a knock it off, guys letter.

Lo and Behold, today I have a letter where said hospital graciously has agreed to forfeit the payment.

"How not to get screwed over by companies" should be part of civics class.

Know your rights and know who to call when they're infringed on. This whole process cost me $0 and honestly less effort than I would have expected.

May this knowledge find its way to someone else who can use it.

It’s crazy and fucked up that being yourself is actually the solution.

why the hell did you answer this now

do you wish to mock me. mock the past mp3 that did not know your pronons

Hey hey Lyn, what are your pronons

idk

My therapist just told me my problem is that I need to write more fanfiction.

Yeah no I didn’t “always know I was trans” but I WAS incredibly defensive of a girl’s ability and personal desire to do absolutely anything a boy could do, repeatedly throwing down against parents and teachers who insisted that girls and boys were just naturally predisposed to distinct binary interests and abilities, often telling them that short hair and masculine interests didn’t make me less of a girl because physical traits and hobbies don’t retroactively determine your gender or sexual identity. Yeah I’m actually still onboard with that belief by the way, not sure how some of yall lost the plot

I see you, your struggles and your agony. I see how hard you fought, I wish to honor the sacrifices you made along the way for me. I don't want to let your pain and efforts be in vein. I won't let it.

Come here, rest with me, please? My arms are open for you to surround yourself with, because you've earned it. You're safe, it's okay, everything is okay thanks to what you did. You can put your worries down for just a moment now.

You don't have to stop, but can you slow down just for me? The sky looks very pretty right now with your symbols floating brightly within it, lets slow down so we can admire that.

Do you want to read a book? Can you read it to me? Even if I've already read it a thousand times, there's still value in hearing your voice carry the words to to me. Your voice can be gentle, so go, read and give me a new spin on it.

Do you want to paint? Sure, your hands are capable of creating beautiful pieces of art, believe me. I've seen it before and I'll see it again. Don't worry about getting messy either, creation always comes from chaos, after all.

You need to stitch some old clothing back together? Can I join you? You do a wonderful job at mending this cloth. The patches you pick and sew are wonderful, and I can tell you stich it on with care and dedication. Your determination to restore what is old, once broken, yet loved, is admirable. I hope you understand that soon
