The Bleeding Heart 22424
I was inspired to draw this City of the Avian piece on Earth Day as a way of expressing my feelings about current events and the state of the planet. COTA is a deeply personal story because its concept is constantly evolving with me as I learn more about the ongoing climate crisis, the genocide in Palestine, and the catastrophic impact of imperialism all over the world. Right now, it’s more important than ever to be angry, but to also never lose sight of our hope for a better future.
First of all ! On Friday the 16th at 4 pm EST me and maruu are going to make the first stream ever talking about the DDVAU and doodling about it as well
Its gonna be live at Maruu's channel ( twitch.tv/xmaruu11 ) so I hope that you guys can be there! We are gonna answer questions live, doodling and just chilling talking together with you all !
I hope this is the first of many but we will see how it goes !
Second of all, going a more serious route, I want to talk about some boundaries regarding the comic. Since this is a fan project, made by fans for fans, I feel like it's imporant to mention that we do not want Content Creators to be aware of its existance- (if that makes any sense). After all, even if it's more than just shipping, it still contains a lot of it within the story.
Being respectful not only to the CCs but also myself (I am uncomfortable with the idea of them interacting with it), I would prefer if the comic is kept in fan space. That means I would prefer if you guys don't mention it in any chat, tag CC in fanart about the AU, tag it properly on tumblr and obviously follow the CCs boundaries.
Anyways ! Hope you all have a great rest of your day and I hope I'll see you guys on friday.
(A SmallEtho Hermitcraft Season 10 Blurb. It does contain fluff, and I once again wrote this when I couldn't sleep. Not my best work, but I was bored and wrote this over the course of a couple of nights in various sections. Sorry if it's bad or doesn't make sense at times. I somewhat edited it, but let's be honest I probably overlooked something as always)
“Here we go again” Etho muttered to himself, as he saw Joel appear in the distance. He laughed to himself and shook his head. Grabbing the rest of his things to move into his storage system, he could see Joel getting closer. Lifting his head to lock eyes with him as he approached. “How’s it going Joel?”
“Same as usual. I take it you got my gift?” He motions to where the chest used to be.
“Yeah, I hung them up earlier. they look great, thanks for letting me have some of them.” Etho moved to place the chest full of his things inside the house as Joel followed.
“Well, since you’re so obsessed with me, I thought I might as well.”
“Woah, woah now hold on a minute—”
Before he could even finish his sentence Joel cut in. “I know you’re obsessed with me Etho, you don’t have to hide it.”
“Is that so?”
“It is, I swear it’s like you can’t get enough of me.”
“Uhuh.” He raised an eyebrow at Joel and folded his arms.
Instead of paying any mind to him; Joel began to roam around Etho’s place. He made small notes to himself about the house, enjoying the pleasant atmosphere. “It’s a nice place you got here.” He commented as he wandered.
“Thanks, but why are you trying to change the subject? Seems to me you aren’t as confident about your accusation as you try to appear.”
“What more is there to say about it?”
“Well for starters, there’s the fact that you’re the obsessed one, not me.”
“Wow, didn’t realize you were one to deflect that much. Looks like you really are obsessed with me.” Joel just smirks, trying to get under Etho’s skin. He liked seeing him flustered and he wasn’t about to back down. “No point in acting like you aren’t.” He was so lost in his own world, he hadn’t realized Etho was standing right behind him. That was until he felt a hand sneak onto his waist, which caused him to jumped a little.
“And what if I told you, you’re right?”
“Oh, so now you stop denying it.” He scoffed refusing to acknowledge what Etho was doing. “Took you long enough.” He tried getting out of his grip, but he wouldn’t budge.
“So, what now?”
“What do you mean?”
“I admitted it. So, tell me, do you not like it?” Etho spun Joel around, holding him close. Leaning his head down, he whispered. “Or should I keep going?”
Joel could feel the red on his ears and the burning in his chest. Etho brought his hand up to his mask and pulled it down. He watched as Etho’s eyes began to shut and his face grew closer. “Etho.” He muttered in attempt to protest, but there was no point. He let himself get swept up into the moment, as he closed his eyes and felt the warmth of Etho’s lips on his. But as soon as it came, it left.
His eyes fluttered open, seeing Etho’s mask on his face once again, just barely covering the blush on his cheeks. Etho cleared his throat, looking away from Joel and taking his hands off of him.
“I should go and finish organizing my things. Um, I’ll see you later.” He quickened towards the chest and disappeared before Joel could utter a word.
He brought his hand up to his lips; pondering for a minute if the heat he felt was real or not. He hoped it was.
So, the overwhelming concensus is that it is Scar-EE-an or Scari-an. Which is what I expected, but personally I still think it sounds weird. And I probably wont stop saying Scrian.
How does one pronounce Scarian? Cause I say scrian cause I cant be bothered, but if anyone asks me it's Scar Ian. Is it scari an? Sca ri ahn?
Grian asking if the moon is big has never made me more concerned.
I stop watching hermitcraft for a little bit, and so much has happened and I don’t even know where to start which is the worst part.
Me: Enjoying Etho's long episodes as usual
Gem: i didnt even finish your last episode because of how long it was (or something to that effect)
Honestly, so valid, but what does that say about me and my life? Im not even an Ethogirlie
Do I like the flower husbands, or do I just like thought of Scott tolerating Jimmy enough to take a chance on him only to fall for his clumsy and dumb charms?
In just one week we have collectively raised over $1,000 in aid going towards Gaza!!
In total I received receipts for 30 donations over the past week, and you will see the rest of those dragons posted over the course of this week. I cannot convey how grateful I am to everyone who donated, no matter the amount.
Nothing gives me more hope than knowing there are other people who care about the lives of others, who are willing to do their part in the struggle against genocide and occupation.
If you weren't able to donate for a dragon last week, please still continue to fight for Palestine however you are able. Continue to speak out, protest, boycott, pressure your politicians, and donate if you have the means.
Keep this solidarity going by continuing to do everything you can, whenever you can to help those fighting to survive a genocide.

I think many people don't realise how expensive it is just to survive day by day as a person with a disability.
Our bodies can't function in a basic way without aid like equipment or medication, etc.
These things cost money.
The thing about these items in particular is that they have grown in cost higher than most other items.
They're not luxury items.
They don't grant us special powers or let us enjoy life more than anyone else.
These things simply help our bodies function in a way that it should in the first place.
It's to help with things our bodies have difficulty doing whether it's walking, eating, seeing, hearing, going to the toilet, driving, sleeping, etc.
So why in the past year has the daily cost to help me see tomorrow and let my body function at a basic level doubled?
Why do I have to pay life tax of $8.5 per day?
I'm not even having a good time. I should at least get a daily treat with my $8.5 to make it worth it.
