I Live This Far Too Much

a comic about meeting your younger self :)

Thank you for reading :)

Hey students, here’s a pro tip: do not write an email to your prof while you’re seriously sick.

Signed, a person who somehow came up with “dear hello, I am sick and not sure if I’ll be alive to come tomorrow and I’m sorry, best slutantions, [name]”.

minecraft body language related things

- anything related to crouching. slowly going up to someone while crouching to be sneaky. spam crouching in “friend?? friend!!” crouching and looking down because you’re sad :(

- punching up in the air enthusiastically like “hey let’s go!!” punching the blocks underneath you rapidly as if moving your hands around in conversation. affectionately punching other players like you would pull someone’s ear.

- i dunno if this is just my group but full netherite players criting each other with axes and swords because it barely does any damage and it’s fun

- aggressive spinning to goof off

- almost-but-not eating something to make obnoxious noises

- that thing streamers/youtubers do when you can tell they’re staring at themselves in f5 to talk to an audience

- also, when you can TELL someone has paused to look at you in optifine zoom

- forcing yourself into swim/fly mode on land for maximum silly mode.

- waiting for someone to find where you are so you’re like. in a body of water going straight up and down with a riptide trident until they do. or just flying up and down with elytra

- getting in a boat on land and spinning in circles like “hey I’m bored let’s go”

- slowly swapping out tools either as a threat, or to dramatically reveal what item you have

- putting armor on as a threat, or taking it off as a “I’m relaxed” thing

- playing hot potato with a junk item neither player wants and chasing each other around with it

- i just think running around with a loaded crossbow out is really funny. you look like an oblivion npc

- loading up a trident throw but Not letting it go and holding it back as a threat

- rapidly flicking levers/opening chests/pressing buttons/etc to annoy the other person, especially while they’re talking

- closing a door in someone’s face

- playing a block in front of someone. they break it. you place it again. this continues for two more minutes

- jumping down at someone from a higher place like “HI I’M HERE NOW!”

- sitting in cauldrons. become soup.

- music disc dancing. moving around as much as possible for pigstep and slow crouching to cat

- being offended/sad etc and digging down a few blocks to sulk

- anything along the lines of a player taking time to make something for a joke. someone says “let’s talk” and the other busts out a crafting table and crafts a stair so they can pretend to sit

i love minecraft guys :)

Remember, it’s not a competition

If you’re struggling with envisioning a fight scene, you might consider drawing inspiration from one of these martial arts videos:

Quarterstaff techniques in slow motion (could also be useful for up-close mage staffwork)

More quarterstaff, more fun and theatrical.

A bit of quick polearm fighting.

The music is painful and if you’re not used to watching fighting it might be hard to spot the hits, but full-speed fighting with sword and center-grip round (”Viking”) shields.

SCA-style shieldwork for “heater” shields in slow motion. [Hey I know these dudes!]

Live-steel longsword tournament with some good talking between fights.

Not pumped yet?  Have some full-contact, full-speed, live-steel Battle of the Nations lunatics.  Living history geeks are absolutely the craziest geeks. 

This is a pretty random selection but the point is that if you’re stuck on action scenes, Youtube and the many lunatics who are willing to get hit with weapons have your back.

Cool, we freed a dragon to end/protect the world for the rest of eternity. Oh look! A doorknob!

A mirror breaks

Don’t leave out any hard of hearing children who come to your door this Halloween, take a minute out of your day to learn a few seasonal asl signs!  These are two different variations of “Happy Halloween” Click here for my source.

i feel like tumblr would really benefit using tone indicators. a lot of people may use them, but i havent seen a lot of it! as a neurodivergent, it helps us understand the tone of what you're saying. sometimes it's hard to tell whether you're actually mad, or it's just lighthearted, or if you're being sarcastic!

here's a chart of tone indicators if you're interested in using them:

also: please do not use any of these as a joke. do not put /srs if you are not being serious. these tone indicators are supposed to be helping neurodivergents and neurotypicals alike.
