(Hi! Sorry, I was with a friend and she sent the message while I was still writing as a joke-)

The ask is if you could write Quackity x reader where Quackity's boyfriend is guatemalan (you don't have to know a lot about Guatemala, maybe just Quackity being interested in the culture bcs is similar to mexican but also very different)

That's all, thank you!! Hope you have a great day :>

A/n:

Ofc!!I don’t know much about Guatemala (as I’m irish) but I tried 🙏

QUACKITYX M! GUATEMALAN READER

-You and Quackity met whilst you were on holidays with your friend-group travelling all around Mexico.Your group decided to go and head to a big video-game shop you had all heard of and found a bus to take you there, but due to your group being made up of 5 people, you had to sit by yourself, though you didn’t mind as it meant that you got to play video-games on the way there.

Unfortunately, your plans of solitude and smooth sailing were crashed both due to the fact that the roads were extremely bumpy and due to the fact that a handsome stranger has decided to sit beside you.

You tried to continue playing and eventually tried to ignore the man staring holes into your 3DS and you turn to look at him, “Do you need something?” You inquire, raising an eyebrow.

He looks panicked and quickly replies with “oh sorry!!I was just curious about what game you were playing..”

“It’s Majora’s mask, I only got it recently” you added, smiling at him.

-am hour later-

You had learned that the man’s name is Alexis-though he prefers to go by Alex,he’s the same age as you and has quite a lot in common with you.

You feel quite sad that you have to get off the bus with your friends now, but before you can leave he quickly places his hand on your arm and goes “Wait!!Whats your number, I was uh just wondering if you’d like to hang out sometime…maybe..?” He looked at you, nervous and expecting to be rejected.

“Of course!Here you go!” You answer, trying not to sound too excited that a handsome stranger had asked for your number.

As you left the bus with your friends, Alex began texting you immediately, hoping that it was the right number.

You quickly replied back to him and you both began to text for the rest of your trip.

He began to ask where you were from, what is it like living in Guatemala?did they make good stew over there?What type of traditions did they have over there?what were your countries sports?

Once you arrived home he begged to call you and of course-you answered.

“Hey you said you’ve a pc right?Do you wanna play minecraft with me on my server?”he then invited you to a server ‘huh…Q-S-M-P…that’s an odd name.’ You thought to yourself.

You realised that there were a lot of people online that spoke Spanish, so naturally, when they started to speak to you in Spanish, you spoke back, which surprised alex “wow you can speak Spanish??” He asked, hoping to not come across as sound dumb.

“Of course I can!!Wait why’s your username Quackery?” You asked, before bursting out laughing at the name. “It’s Quackity!!”you could basically hear his eyes roll dramatically.

This was the same day you found out that “Quackity” was the name of his YouTube and twitch channel, you had decided to check it out and were amazed at how famous he really was, he was practically a celebrity!!You had began to tune into some of his recent streams without telling him and it was bizarre to you to see the same group of geeks you had been joking with not two hours ago, (along with Alex of course) bring in hundreds of thousands of views by just being themselves online.

Day after day, week after week, you and Quackity got closer, until eventually he pulled up at your house one day with flowers. “WH-Alex what are you doing here??Why do you have flowers??!”

He blushed and then hesitantly asked “do you uh, y’know, um, wanna go out?” “Of course I do!!” He stared at you, both in bewilderment that you actually agreed and the fact that he knew that he just couldn’t look away from your pretty face.

“I didn’t actually think you’d be gay or anything..”you smiled softly at him, inviting him in and gently taking the flowers from him. “Well you guessed wrong!”you replied, your face as red as tilíns bow.

You both decided to go on a date at your local restaurant, Alex hasn’t actually planned this far ahead as he thought you’d simply reject him.

You both couldn’t stop flirting with eachother-ignoring the looks some of the elders gave you.

Once the date and he was, yet again, back on your doormat; he wrapped his arms around your waist, kissed you gently on the lips and waved goodbye.

-Later that night-

*Quackity is live:IMSOHAPPY*

You decided to click onto the stream out of curiousity.

“GUYS GUESS WHAT HAPPENED TODAY?!!!”

Part 2?

More headcanons, this time video games

Note that isn't ALL the games they would play, but the ones they like the MOST. Or resonate with the most. Percy: Starting with the easiest, or rather second easiest. But Percy, and I mean this wholeheartedly, is a Metal Gear Solid stan. If there's ANY story out there that he would relate to more. It's Solid Snake's story, especially the whole "I just want to rest and be left alone but people keep dragging me back to fight battles."

TELL ME THAT DOESN'T FIT PERCY. HE JUST WANTS TO RELAX WITH ANNABETH BUT NOOO Outside of Metal Gear Solid, he's def a fan of Elder Scrolls (and LotR duh). "But Orcus" I hear you say "Percy said he doesn't like fantasy" and you would be correct. However, I raise you this. He doesn't like Urban Fantasy specifically. The whole "there's a secret magical world where we have to hide it from the Mort-er I mean Humans" trope is so stale to Percy that whenever he sees it the thought of flooding a publishing house briefly flickers through his mind. It's literally how he lives his life, so he hates urban fantasy. Though he would fucking LOVE Shadowrun, because while it is Urban Fantasy. It's not in the genre of 99.9% of urban fantasy, and it's different enough to his actual outside life that he can immerse himself in it. ______________________________________________________________ Annabeth: Okay, now for the easiest. In fact the reasons why she likes these games are so obvious that I don't feel like I need to explain myself. So let's just go on. SimCity, obviously, City Skylines, and...

Minecraft. "But, doesn't Minecraft have spiders?" Yes. That's why she uses creative mode. I don't think she'd be all in on survival, but creative? That's where she's designing some of her architectural projects in, she's got a LOT of building block and furniture mods I just know it. Honestly, now that I think of it, Annabeth would enjoy Rimworld.

______________________________________________________________ Frank: Civ. Frank plays Civilization and will lose DAYS of his life micro managing his cities. He has that same overly tactical mind, like Annabeth. However that's where they differ. Annabeth doesn't want to think about fighting when she relaxes, so while Civ would be up her ally, she wouldn't enjoy it all the time. As for Frank? Civ relaxes him. Even when the AI is doing some FUCKING BULLSHIT MOVES. Stellaris? Yep. Hearts of Iron? Crusader Kings? Yes. Victoria? Again, a yep. Any strategy game and Frank is ALL in on it. ______________________________________________________________ Hazel: Honestly, she's the difficult one. Same with Nico, but I feel like Diablo would be a natural fit. It's not too hard to pick up and learn, but it's got enough to learn to keep her interested. Same with Path of Exile. Hazel also shares a game with Nico, but I'll explain when I get to him. Also she totally plays Animal Crossing with Frank.

______________________________________________________________ Nico: Again, another tough one, or so I thought. Behold. FALLOUT. No seriously. Fallout would be PERFECT for Nico. He's literally from the time period, or close enough that he's almost certainly heard a fair number of the radio tracks featured in game. Fallout 3 would be a literal head trip for him, and the satirical nature of the games, the "I don't know what the fuck is going on, and what the fuck happened?" feeling that ALL of the protagonists have makes Nico (and Hazel) feel right at home. If anyone can relate to that, it's them. He totally plays Quake and DOOM though. ______________________________________________________________ Will: Will's the one that plays Animal Crossing. Well, not just Animal Crossing. Terraria? Stardew Valley? Also a yes. Will has a stressful job, so he's not interested in playing anything that's gonna stress him out. He def has a Minecraft world with Nico. While Will builds in more "modern" and bright color pallet. Nico is over there building elaborate gothic castles like it's nothing. Oh and LEGO Star Wars, but that's a given. And Battlefront 2. If it's Star Wars he's playing it. ______________________________________________________________ Alex: Alex and Magnus strike me as anarchists. Maybe illegalists, but def anarchists. However for Alex, I think she would actually enjoy Deus Ex. The original. Like, the whole "fuck Capitalism" theme of the game just gets Alex all giddy in a "how the fuck did they get away with this?" way. (Like the first "bad guy" you meet starts ranting off about corporate consolidation and tax rates. I'M NOT JOKING.) Same reason why she would enjoy watching Andor. It's got the theming, but it's not done in a way like you're reading political theory. It's just passive fun, and a good story. So on that note. Def Deus Ex. Metal Gear? Yeah, that too. Mass Effect? Sure, it has gay people in it, and for the time that was huge. (Y'all might not remember the absolute shit show that ME1 got into back in the day) Both her and Magnus play Assassin's Creed together. I just know. And TESIII: Morrowind. Trust me on this. ______________________________________________________________ Magnus: Magnus doesn't like violence. So he and Will share a lot of the same games actually. The guy sees more violence and bloodshed on a daily basis than any one person could comprehend. So games without a lot of that? He's all in for trying. So he def likes mostly Nintendo titles, maybe not Mario, but Zelda is a huge favorite. LEGO games are another solid choice, and I think he would be quite fond of Guilty Gear. ______________________________________________________________ Leo: Leo likes to build and to tinker with things. So he's messing around with Minecraft Redstone, or creating some awkward machine in Besiege (remember when that was all the rage?). But Leo's absolute favorite (was a dead and relatively unknown mecha title until this month) is Armored Core. Armored Core is the perfect game for someone like Leo, spend hours and I mean hours, I'm not making that up, tinkering and tuning each and every fucking part of your mech...only to die, and having to do it all over again. And he loves every. fucking. second. of it.

"A trip down memory lane" or something

For me, there are some songs that I listen to that remind me of whatever part of my life I would often listen to that song during. This is the power of music; the same song brings different emotions and different memories to each person, and can give you the feeling of being brought back in time.

Video games can be described as an escape from reality for many. This makes the unique combination of being brought to a time where you are experiencing another world. It feels childish, but despite that, this is a big part of some people's childhood and lives. So let's go back in time real quick.

Disclaimer, I'm going to use some remixes/remasters for these songs that I think fit the song better. Also, they're almost all Pokémon ;)

Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver ~ New Bark Town

youtube

The peaceful, first town music of each Pokémon game is always a nostalgic one, as it is the sound of a new adventure. Still being a huge Pokémon fan at the age of 20, hearing the starting town music from a game I played when I was 7 years old is a feeling like no other. It makes me remember the days where I had fun even without having to try understanding everything. This is a great studying or waiting song for me.

Minecraft ~ Volume Alpha

youtube

Nowadays, it is pretty widely accepted that video games can get very addicting and consuming. My first time experiencing this was with Minecraft. A simple game with endless possibilities, where you build up your own world, at your own pace, however you want. The song might be even more nostalgic than New Bark Town's theme for me. Being one of the most popular games in the world to this day, this song probably brings nostalgic feelings for many. As it is a slow paced song like New Bark Town's theme, this could be good study music. However, I don't personally listen to this.

Pokémon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire ~ vs. Wally

youtube

Perhaps one of the most interesting things in video games is the concept of characters. While they bring lots to the table, there is one thing that isn't expressed much: the fact that you are always the main character. In Pokémon, this means all of those around you will be weaker than you in the end, because canonically, you win every battle.

In the original Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald games, Wally was a character with little impact or meaning to the games. He was just a boy who was overprotected by his uncle, and who you would help start up his adventure. In the remakes (Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire), he starts off similar, but grows into a different character in the end. He is no longer another random kid for the player to crush on their path to become champion. Now he has the resolve to win, and doesn't care for being protected by his uncle. He gives one of the best speeches in the series, then goes straight into the hardest guitar theme in the series to kick off the player's battle with him.

A discussion on GameFAQS goes over how he feels like a different character altogether. In the end he still loses of course, but his battle theme is honestly one of my favorite songs in general, and I would listen to it at any time. It would be a crime to describe it with any word other than awesome.

Pokémon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum ~ The piano before Cynthia

youtube

The piano that every Pokémon player fears. It would have been criminal of me to not include this song, so here it is.

For context, this is the song that plays right before the player's battle against the champion of Sinnoh (a region), Cynthia. The battle against the champion is (usually) the climax of a Pokémon game. Whoever defeats the reigning champion is granted the title of champion for themselves, and is the end goal for the protagonist.

As you make it to the final battle, the intense piano begins to play. And before you is Cynthia, the girl who goes around studying the history of Sinnoh; little did you know that the whole time, she was destined to be your final opponent.

Looking and acting badass isn't all there is to Cynthia, though. Remember when I said every Pokémon player fears this song? She is notorious for being the most difficult "boss" in the entire series.

Overall, an epic moment to be remembered. Just chills every listen.

Kirby's Dream Land ~ Green Greens

youtube

Ah yes, Kirby. The adorable little circle that goes around eating things. Green Greens truly captures the fun of these games and the world of Kirby. That is all this song means to me, but that is okay. It's still a banger and the energy it gives is refreshing.

These songs and many others from games give a kind of feeling that I can't find in any other kind of music. I could listen to most of them in any way, but studying, walking around, and driving would be the best 3 things overall.

Below are some other songs I really like and will include in this playlist, but won't go into depth about (If you're into this kind of music, I highly recommend giving "vs. Trainer Red" and "vs. Zinnia" a try):

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time ~ Lost Woods

youtube

Pokémon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire ~ Zinnia's Sorrow/vs. Zinnia

youtube

Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal ~ vs. Trainer Red

youtube

Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon ~ Partner's Theme

youtube

"recharge" — thomato streamer au

661 word count.

a/n:: rhythm cat is a random game i made up at 00:22 am. i apologize if there's already some sort of game with that same name. i also really enjoy the gamer bf x shy bf trope, so of course i was going to write it. i feel like i had a cringe take on it though, so i'm also sorry about that.

ayato had just come home that day from a week-long business trip, and he was utterly exhausted. he spent a week away from home, and a week away from his precious boyfriend. ayato knew thoma was going to stream soon, but he sat on his boyfriend's lap anyway.

thoma had offered to put off the stream for another time, but ayato wouldn't have any of it. however, ayato is extremely camera shy, resulting in thoma covering all of ayato in a blanket.

thoma smiled down at the man on his lap "are you sure you want to stay here? you know i'm about to start streaming."

ayato stuck his head out from under the blanket. "i missed you so much though.. i wish i never went on that trip."

"i know, my love; but, you know it was mandatory."

those words earned a tired whine from ayato.

thoma smiles and holds his lover's face, caressing his cheek with his thumb. "i'm going to start streaming now. if you feel overwhelmed, you can leave."

thoma slides his headphones on. ayato rests his head on thoma's shoulder as thoma starts the stream. thoma wraps an arm around his lover and smiles into the camera. he waits for his viewers to enter his stream before speaking.

"hiya, chat! before any of you say anything, yes, i have my boyfriend in my lap. he just got back from an exhausting trip, so he needs to recharge," thoma pauses to place a small kiss onto his lover's head. "i won't really play anything too crazy since he's here, can you guys give me some suggestions?"

the chat box floods with messages, though a particular game catches his eye.

"rhythm cat? that sounds interesting. chat, can you give me more details about it?"

the chat box floods with messages again, resulting in thoma struggling to read them all.

"okay, so i just make the cats jump along with the rhythm using the arrow keys? that shouldn't be too hard. i could do it with one hand, as long as i pick easy levels."

thoma promptly opens up steam to search for the game. he buys it, then starts up the game.

meanwhile, ayato is listening to everything thoma says— well, trying to listen. he forces his eyes open, wanting to stay awake as long as his body allows him. he nuzzles his head into the crook of thoma's neck, earning a tigher hug from thoma's one arm around him.

thoma is clearly enjoying himself. he chose a beginner level for a chinese song called "flammable and explosive." thoma adored the fact that the cats meow along with the lyrics, and he swiftly adjusts to the controls.

after about an hour of playing, he finally calls it quits. by this point, thoma had somehow gotten so used to ayato's presence, he forgot ayato was on his lap. "chat, is there any other games you guys want me to play?"

once again, the chat box is spammed with messages. he settles with minecraft, and spends a little over two hours playing.

eventually, thoma felt it was time to end the stream. he had already taken his headphones off and started saying goodbye to the fans when he heard soft snoring coming from his boyfriend. thoma looks down and has the cutest sight, right in front of his eyes.

ayato is sound asleep, his head draped over thoma's shoulder and his arms around thoma's torso. thoma felt his lover breathing against his chest.

his heart melted at the sight.

he turned to the camera again and shook his head. "okay, chat. i know i was going to end the stream, but my boyfriend is 'recharging his batteries.' i refuse to move and i don't want to just sit in a chair doing nothing until he wakes up, so i'll just continue streaming until then!"

messages flooded the stream, most of them pleased with ayato being the cause of a longer stream.

end.

Reluctant Hero?

= Thirty-Two = (Chapter List)

Three hours later, the trio exited an Outfitters store. They had lucked out on it as they cruised about Vale. It made a probably multi-store trip into a one-stop shop. Jaune walked out carrying a single bag. Nothing much different in his outfit aside from a new pair of black combat boots. His bag containing multiple boxes of 12guage shells.

Cardin was the next out. Like Jaune not much was different with his outfit, well aside from the leather ankle length duster he had fallen in love with at first sight. He carried a couple of bags, as he also decided he wanted Huntsmen quality underwear, and ammo for the pump action shotgun he had slung over his shoulder. The final addition was the machete hanging off his left hip.

Nora was the last to exit, her outfit totally changed, though pink was still that main colour, well pink camo. Cargo pants, combat boots, a thin turtleneck, topped off by a bomber style leather coat. Sheathed in the small of her back was a kukri, and on her right hip sat an empty ammo pouch. Again, everything was pink camo, except for the boots which were only available in black.

Jaune: Okay, so we've gotten geared up. Guess it's back to Beacon, and get ourselves organized.

Cardin: So we're going out tomorrow?

Nora: It is getting a little late, and I am kind of hungry.

Jaune: Yeah, I figure we could use a good, non-goo-covered rest and start out early tomorrow. Make a day of it. Pack a picnic lunch. You know, the whole nine yards.

Cardin: You want to have a picnic lunch in a Grimm and Deadite infested forest?

Nora: Yeah, that doesn't strike me as something very safe.

Jaune: You may have a point, but we're going to be out there for hours, so we should pack a lunch.

Nora: But a picnic?

Jaune: Why not? I mean, we have to eat, so we might as well enjoy it when we do.

Cardin: Again. Grimm and Deadite infested forest?

Jaune: Listen, and this is probably the most important thing I can tell you, aside from, always try and keep your mouth closed. Actually, that is the most important thing to keep in mind.

Nora: Okay, I get that. These things are rather... gooey.

Cardin: And seem to love to explode, when you put them down. It's almost like fighting Demonic Creepers in Minecraft.

Jaune: You play Minecraft?

Cardin: What of it? It's relaxing, and I've been working on this insane build of a scale sized replica of Atlas for the last few years.

Nora: Years?

Cardin: Well, there is only so much time in a day, and I did have school and training. It's not like I could spend all day on my private server. Do you guys play? As long as you promise not to grief, I'll send you invites, give you good gear, and...

Nora: Thanks, but I'm more into Terraria.

Cardin: Cool. How about you, Jaune?

Jaune: Um... ah... Never played.

Cardin: WHAT? How could you have NEVER played Minecraft!

Jaune: I just never have, okay.

Nora: Do you play any video games? Have you played any video games?

Jaune: Of course.

Nora: What?

Jaune: SimCity.

Cardin: That's a pretty good game.

Nora: I agree, but we will definitely need to get him on to our servers. Show him what he's missing out on.

Cardin: Our servers?

Nora: Same rules apply, as for your server. No griefing, but I wouldn't mind having some people to play with. Could even start up a new map. Start from scratch.

Cardin: I'm game. I tried it back when it first came out, but I'll give it another chance.

Nora: You'll love it. They've added so much stuff.

Cardin: But you have to join my server as well.

Nora: I will. Minecraft is a good, slow paced game. Very relaxing.

Cardin: Okay. How about you, Jaune? Are you going to join in? I mean, we can use it to relax after we kick ass.

Jaune: I gue...

Nora: Nope. You're joining, no guessing.

Jaune: Okay, whatever. Let's get back to Beacon and put our stuff away.

Recent Thoughts about Minecraft

right as the title says! Thoughts I have about the recent Minecraft updates, and what direction I see the game as going in. Gentle criticisms and such! Don’t misunderstand this, I love this game dearly.

Starting off:

The Warden and the Ancient City

I think the Warden has been buffed far too much. The idea of it being stronger than the Enger Dragon itself is interesting. But the ranged attack 1) has a much to short cooldown time, 2) bypasses shields, and 3) goes through walls. This is too much. I disagree with the idea of a mob players have no choice but to avoid, period. Minecraft is about choices and playing how you want to play. By intentionally making a mob a pain to deal with, Mojang is making the game less fun for players by removing the option of having a challenging fight, or a fair flee (I will say it again! The ranged attack goes through walls!). The Warden doesn’t even drop anything, which I also see as a flaw, but given how it’s not intended to be engaged with at all, I’m not surprised. Right now, I really love the Warden as a concept, but it needs a better execution.

The Ancient City doesn’t have loot worth avoiding the Warden for. Some of its most precious loot outside of music discs are, as of writing (March 11, 2022), enchanted diamond armor and emeralds. I can’t see players going in without netherite or at least enchanted diamond armor of their own, and a player that armored wouldn’t have much of a use for armor. Either lesson the threat (re: weaken the warden) so it’s worth the trip or increase the reward. If this was an advanced civilization, as players believe, why not add a scrap of netherite or two, or more diamonds? I’ve seen theories the structure in the center is a portal, which would make the journey more appealing.

Fireflies (and Frogs)

So, Mojang removed fireflies. 2-pixel entities that frogs were meant to eat. They removed fireflies because, in real life, fireflies are poisonous to frogs. This is a silly reason to remove a mob for. Cookies are poisonous to parrots, and yet players can still shove one down their bird’s throat! Frogs don’t have to eat the fireflies. They can exist in the same habitat, no problem. Fireflies make for a living ambience, a light source. People want to put them in bottles and have cute little jars of flreflies! I’ve seen people tease the firefly for being 2 pixels big, but never genuine disagreement toward it.

Animals

Pandas, axolotls, dolphins... All mobs added to Minecraft, all real endangered animals. I think it’s cute to have more irl animals but, personally, I want more wacky critters, like the Mooshroom and Glow Squid. Why not make a mob that serves the same function as a dolphin: Intelligent, playful, and provides a speed boost? I think the frogs are cute, and I think the fireflies are cute, but... I want more passive mobs that aren’t based off real animals.

I think it’s great Mojang has a clear stance on protecting endangered animals. Just, maybe, in the future... more passive weird mobs, please? The ones we’ve gotten lately, like the Guardians and Phantoms and Hoglins, are hostile. Striders are an exception, but they’re found only in the nether. When was the last time we got a passive overworld mob like that? Glow Squids, and...? Nothing else.

Minecraft is a fantasy game with different dimensions and magic and I just want more critters and beasts (friendly), y’know?

Things are Moving Too Fast

Simple as that. That, I believe, is the crux of the problem. Mojang has been showing possible new features, like the Warden, Archeology, and even the Caves & Cliffs, without being totally set or ready for them. These features have been pushed back and reworked (not that these things are inherently bad! It’s just been happening more often more recently). I worry Mojang’s devs are working too hard to produce more content. They aren’t ready to release these things. First Caves & Cliffs was cut in half, where we didn’t even get the Caves & Cliffs in question until the second part. Then the Ancient City was pushed back as the idea grew and developed. Some features, like Archeology, were mentioned and never brought up again.

I want them to slow down. They need to stop setting deadlines for themselves. They need to work at their own pace and take their time deciding what features Minecraft deserves, and how to implement them.

They don’t owe us once-a-year grand updates.

We love Minecraft. They know this. They need to slow down and take their time on these things, listen more to the fans, and not hold themselves to such strict rules.

Rest versus rejuvenation

A year or so ago, I came across a post on Facebook that really hit home. I can’t find the actual post at the moment, but it went something like this:

When your phone’s battery is redlining, you can turn the phone off to conserve power, but at some point in time, you’re going to need to plug it in and recharge it.

There is a difference between rest and rejuvenation.

One of the big reasons why I retired from classroom teaching last June is that I had allowed my entire life to fall into cycles of “get ready to teach, teach, and recover from teaching”. Work -- which I did find rewarding, which is why I did it for 34 years -- had come to drive everything I did in my life, including what I did in my personal time.

For many years, my two favorite vacation destinations have been Las Vegas and Disney World. I’d head to Las Vegas on long weekends and short breaks from school, and every summer, I’d head to Orlando for a week at Disney World as a way of celebrating the end of another school year.

These trips were great at helping me rest, but they didn’t rejuvenate or invigorate me.

I used to have hobbies that did that. Starting in the mid-1990’s, I played Magic the Gathering seriously. I’d build decks, spend Saturdays at my local game shop playing against whoever else was there, and read about new decks and strategies that might improve my play. At the same time, I also got into “advantage play” in casinos, mostly by counting cards. Again, I’d spend hours practicing at home, talking to other advantage players, going to casinos to play, and then analyzing my results to see how I was doing and how I might improve.

These activities genuinely rejuvenated me. The energy and enthusiasm that I put into them gave me more of the same in return.

Somewhere along the line starting in the early 2000’s. I stopped doing things that rejuvenated me in favor of things that helped me rest. I stopped being an advantage player in casinos (which takes a lot of time and energy) and just started going to Las Vegas for fun. Instead of building, playtesting, and refining my own Magic decks, I’d play with preconstructed ones online in casual play. I didn’t have the time or energy to engage with my hobbies in the way that I used to, so I let them become things that I did when I wanted or needed to turn my brain off and just crash for a while.

So about a year ago, I began looking for a hobby that engaged me more deeply. I eventually rediscovered Minecraft, and that turns out to be fitting the bill right now. I first encountered Minecraft in 2012 but played it only casually. Since I picked it up again, I’ve been digging more deeply into it to learn more about what you can do in the game. I definitely enjoy farming and resource-gathering, and a lot of my current projects require me to learn more about redstone and what folks have dubbed “technical Minecraft”. I’ve also gotten hooked on the YouTube series HermitCraft, which follows the shenanigans of the players on the private HermitCraft server, and I’ve started interacting with other fans of the series online.

It’s nice having something in my life that recharges my battery instead of simply helping me rest.

Pretty easy actually...(today's music ish one)

Today I woke up, called you, got my favorite voice mail system.

Had a coffee and an apple and bake beans with toast, did some job searching then mom's freind stopped by as her mom was due to pass away and just wanted some council I guess, I told her I was sorry about her news and tried to offer some advice about living with someone passing on.

Looked at few roles called a recruitment agency about a real shitty sales role but it's in Melbourne, they didn't pick up not a surprise to be honest.

Played a little minecraft, went to the end city to try find an eltra.

Had a vegan burger, for dinner.

And that was most of the day... Now I'm in bed thinking about you...

Messages,

Weezer wasn't really played on our first date, but I'd say our second date would be radiohead on the roof, looking at the stars. But Vance Joy weirdly, I think maybe yesterday at the pools was I herd a Vance joy song the other day and went haven't herd him in awhile but it was riptide, not particularly my favourite but an interesting concept I suppose.

I wonder if our kids will have your hair and my eyes or just a mix of both, at some point mom said something as a joke that if I marry a blonde my kids might get dad's red hair, and years later both me and cam have red facial hair but my beard is very multicolored like my eyes.

But I wouldn't care so much how they look, it's not for me to play magic lottery for what would be nice or cute as I'd love them all the same. I'm more worried about their genes, seeing at this stage, skinny and lean beans, tall as heck. As suposedly 4 inches on average then their moms and I assume going into surfing as we're laknky.. Well I am still but you're still pretty lean compared to my cousins...

This doesn't sound like you, but you want me to want you? I've wanted you for awhile, I'm sure you are the same but and I'm happy to wait as long as I must... For reasons it be, but hopefully soon I'll be back state side... Well I mean to Colorado seeing my next trip is going to be a yawn in sebria Ohio....I'm looking forward though to trying the new vegan products I saw on Netflix if they are in the local specialty supermarket called mustard seed.

Not a day goes by, well for me almost everytime I check my phone your there too. You look so cute I'll warn you, that I could bite your lip all night but now, we have more fun things to do.

You didn't do anything wrong, I'll take all the blame, as it was I who ruined things because I asked you not to speak to me, I've said this, again I was mid mental breakdown and thought it would of protected you but you saw right through me...it was kind of beuiutful but also painful as I guess I got what I asked for... Both the good you, and the bad, the not so much talking to me...

You have always been enough for me, just hard with jobs.. Money.. Debt... Life gets crazy doesn't it... It's not really stopped and if anything sometimes I feel it's getting worse with this redundancy...

We can't change yesterdays but everyday is beuiutful new start, and that's about living presently... I'm doing alright but I'm getting quite tired of my mental health of nightmares being pretty weird and ruining my energy levels...

Waiting, paitence is quite difficult for someone with adhd, but for you I'll wait...but for you, I know youve waited awhile... And your welcome back anytime you want... I just hope soon I'll have money again and maybe eventually a house to call our own...

I don't know if this was for me but I'm currently in Auckland, boring and I'm okay I guess just not great... Job searching not as fun as you think...

And trying to get a promption or a better job it's just a pain... I'd say I'm doing okay but not great...

Anyway...

Have a great Monday, I hope you still have sometime off work or take some time for you, like tubing is fun if you can't ski or snow board because of your disability but remember to stay safe.

I miss you.

Thinking about you,

Hopefully I'll see you in my dreams again but don't feel bad if your not because everyday with you is a dream.

P.S

I thought you might laugh but, I keep swear I see tall woman and I'm like that's how tall you are and think how nice it will be to kiss you and see into those beautiful hazel eyes, but I feel bad for the woman I'm staring at in a day dream while they must be thinking who knows what... But I'm not actually thinking about them... Just you. Especially tall blondes with hazel eyes, those are like all coming to me, it's like the universe is sending me clones of you, I might have to call in attack of the clones.

Oh and today's image it's a Spoiler below, I actually got them fairly easily.

That's...

Kanas

Kiss

Eagles

Journey

Boston

Yknow my hand writing is bad and Math isn't really my strong suit but this next one for Tommrow's....seems easier.

My personal story:

Bargaining phase (aka scream it from the rooftops), let’s fucking go! I am posting this here because I want to be done with this part of my story. I’ve been given permission by my mother and sister to talk about their parts in this too. By the way, if my trauma makes you uncomfortable, good. Some days I struggle to make the decision to keep going. I’m keeping names out of this.

My mother had me for the wrong reasons and my father committed suicide eight months after I was born. My mother's family had been deeply affected by mental illness due to their own personal traumas and poverty.

My father's family is an Irish Catholic group that was deeply shamed and unable to process the suicide. They didn't know that I existed. I learned about it much younger than I should have, and it's deeply affected me. I tried to talk to them about it, and I was shamed into silence. “Don’t you know you’re not supposed to talk about that?”

My mother and I struggled to find places to live, and moved frequently. I was switching schools on a regular basis. I struggled making friends. I'm also fairly certain I have autism and adhd, so the constant transitions coupled with the knowledge of what happened to my father made me something of a strange child. I was bullied by peers and adults alike. I was molested on several occasions by teenage boys. My mother and grandmother were constantly at odds, and I was in the middle of all of it. I took on adult responsibilities at a young age and would often walk alone around a somewhat rough part of town with rubber jump ropes in case anyone thought about trying to hurt me. I was physically abused, neglected, and isolated. I started watching TV and playing video games a lot. I was also pretty good at the violin.

A couple of weeks before I turned 11, my 5th grade teacher committed suicide. He had the same name as my father. It hit me really hard because at a young age, I made that connection back with what had happened. It was ironic, and it’s weird to realize that at 10. Then the trauma responses started. Because my family didn’t know what it was, I was labeled an obstinately defiant child. My traumas were never resolved.

My mother then gets married, and gets pregnant with my sister. I had been wishing for years for a sibling. I was very excited about her. I got to feed her the first meal out of the womb, and I let her lay on my chest and just watched her breathe. It was the first time in my life I ever really understood what it meant to fall in love with someone. I loved taking care of her. When I bought my first DSLR, I would make her the subject of my photos. We would walk to the park, I would let her take my stuffed animals, we would play Minecraft in creative mode and make pink cotton houses and listen to Lady Gaga and Ke$ha, and Rihanna, and watch movies. I can’t have kids. I poured a lot of love into her.

I got pretty good at the violin without private lessons because poverty fucking sucks. I made concert mistress three years in a row. I taught myself bass. I started playing with the band at church when I was 14. I started dressing up and people would notice. Sometimes certain comments were made about the size of my chest and it made me uncomfortable because I was a child.

I hit puberty and the PCOS made me gain weight even though I had been skinny my entire childhood. I was picked on by everyone, including family and friends. Not only was I this weird, traumatized kid with a strange past, now I was fat. The target on my back grew.

Honestly, my teenage years were spent isolated in my room talking to my best friend on the phone for hours at a time. I wasn’t really welcomed down where the family was, and I was told that regularly. When the rare family trip happened, I was excluded. Due to our financial situations, if I had saved up money for the things I wanted, sometimes I was expected to give it up for bills, rent, and groceries. I started having breakdowns, and was in the hospital several times. Once for trying to overdose.

I dropped out. I got a part time job filing and doing transcription at the age of 17 for the chiropractor my aunt worked for. I even spent some time when my cousin was born as the receptionist. I was never compensated for my work on the transcription despite being told that I was better than the transcriptionists who had been certified. I was never given a raise for becoming a receptionist. I left to go be a nanny. I made more money doing that than I did as a receptionist.

Then I went to college. I started with night classes because I needed someone to drive me there. Then I got my license and my grandparents bought me my first car. I was going for psychology. My entire life had been a fucking case study thus far, why not make it my profession? I have a natural passion for behavior, for helping, for figuring things out. It made sense.

In the midst of all that, my mother had a messy situation with her husband; he was a pathological liar and it took her a while to figure it out (same girl). He had taken a lot of money from both her account and his mother’s account and they were both several thousand dollars negative. He left three days before my sister’s 6th birthday. Our neighbor and good friend helped us with getting everything together for a party.

A little while later, a friend at church offered for me to live with her. My mother leapt at the opportunity because Savannah was still in the room with her at the age of 6. I went. Then I tried going back to college. But I was told I needed a job. I was driving to New Albany and back for school and struggling to keep up with that, so the thought of doing both was impossible to figure out. I know people can do it, but I’m not one of those people. Then I dropped out AGAIN and I started working. I did odd jobs, cleaned people’s houses, took care of peoples kids, retail, doctor’s offices.

I was in a long-distance relationship where my significant other would often threaten to kill herself if I didn’t respond immediately. I got on OKCupid and met the man I ended up marrying. He’s an IT guy, and it’s relevant to my story. He helped get me in at a good doctors office. I’m there for a year. We get married. It’s small, a Dudeist priest does our ceremony. Everyone has every confidence we’ll last and that the love is real.

I keep getting UTI’s because I’m allergic to a lot of shit and that came up in the bedroom. I had a reaction to a quinolone because that used to be standard practice. With the reaction came certain things, like having panic attacks at work. Despite being a hard worker and having untreated depression because I have the CYP2D6 gene and my medication options are limited, I still did my best and didn't cut corners. Oh, fun fact, the CYP2D6 gene gives you severe anxiety! I was given Klonopin to deal with the panic attacks and didn't have any shame taking them in front of patients.

I took a break from work, but I started dealing with massive amounts of fatigue. I would have to sit down after 15 minutes, when I used to be able to play DDR on expert. Six months later I had to have my gallbladder removed because it only had 7% function. I started having trouble with my tendons popping and tightening for no reason. My knees were giving me trouble. I wouldn’t figure out that it was a reaction to a medication until several years later.

At this point in time, my spouse was cheating on me, and I knew it. I was told he would never do that and I was just paranoid. We move to chase rent prices, and I’m so used to it at that point that I contemplate never unpacking. We move into the same complex as my mother, directly across the breezeway. It would be serendipitous.

My mother has pyelonephritis, and is given levaquin. She has a reaction, and winds up with the same kind of symptoms I had years before that went unanswered. I won’t figure that part out until after the accident.

My grandmother called me frantic because my cousin was showing up to her house unexpectedly. I was told to get her out of her house. I did. It was already late, so we went to a bar. We talked for a little bit, and then I ended up running into people I had known from school. We went our separate ways for a while that night. By the time I caught back up with her, she was talking to a contractor for HopCat.

We lost track of time, I was too drunk to drive, and my cousin was interested in the contractor. He was willing to give us a ride – very willing. It was a single cab truck, and I was heavier than I am now. Ergo, no seat belt. He didn’t make the turn at the 64E Grinstead on ramp. The truck flipped. I’m 99% sure I died for a minute. I woke up against the dashboard with my jaw broken. I couldn’t get myself up off the dashboard because of the whiplash. I was told by a medium years later that there were hands on me in the accident. I wasn’t able to pull myself up, but someone did. I think it was him.

I couldn’t keep my head up. I was bleeding out of several places on my arm. My jaw had broken through in two places and dislocated. One of my canines had shattered and would come out in pieces over the next day. One of the contractors men found us and called 911. He helped pull me out of the car, and I stumbled a few steps and landed face down in the grass. I didn’t have the strength or the energy to turn myself over. I thought I was going to die there because I was fading in and out of consciousness.

Eventually, the ambulance got there. They loaded up my cousin first. She had minor lacerations and a hairline fracture on her nose. She was able to go home that night. Then they struggled to turn me over, and tried to dance around using explicit words that they were struggling because my weight. When they started moving me, I realized just how much I was hurting. When they put me in the ambulance, I was making a lot of noise. My cousin screamed at me to shut up. So I did. I swallowed my pain and I didn’t show it.

I got to the ER, and they immediately dosed me with something that put me to sleep and managed the pain. I had a CT that I don’t remember. In between fading in and out of consciousness, I begged them to call my husband. They did. I woke up once to a nurse cutting away jagged skin and giving me stitches.

Eventually, my husband and my mom came up there. At one point, I had to pee. They kept turning me over and putting a bed pan under me. But because I had a broken spine and whiplash, I couldn’t sit up. With the severe physical trauma, I couldn’t pee. Even with the brain injury and the lingering intoxication, I was lucid enough to beg for a catheter. They didn’t believe me. They said that should be a last resort. I told them that I needed to pee, I couldn’t, I think my body is in shock right now. Give me a catheter. I filled two bags.

They took me up to the ICU because the inflammation and pressure of my jaw was making it difficult for me to breathe. I had an out of body experience. I barely remember my time in there. Eventually, I was out and in the TCU. My nurses loved me and said I was so sweet. My diet consisted of pudding, ensure shakes, and applesauce. Some people I had gone to church with didn’t realize the extent of my injuries and had a hard time seeing me.

It would be five days before they could do surgery. It took them five hours. Their complaint was that my mouth is small, and they were attempting to go in through existing wounds. The break was clean but where it had detached made it difficult to reattach.

I was legally bound from discussing what had happened in case of conflicting interests and swaying public opinion. I get home, and sleep on my mom’s couch for the first night. We had to wait on a hospital bed. I wasn’t allowed to be upright without the TLSO brace, my jaw was wired shut, and my only saving grace was this tooth I lost that I could fit small straws through. The only thing I could really handle eating that had some substance to it was blended chili. It was impossible to go to the bathroom or shower by myself, so my mom and husband helped me. Unfortunately, my mom is in a lot of pain herself.

I struggled to walk at first, but I kept pushing and trying. My knees were really unstable at that point, but I did it anyway. I got weird looks in public because I couldn’t wear a bra and the TLSO brace made it look funny. I had severe dysphoria. Eventually they took off the wires and I was out of the brace. I had to work to get my jaw to open again. I got a barstool to use in my kitchen so I could cook again. After a while I got tired of it and forced myself to stand as much as I could.

One day, I woke up with severe swelling in my knee. I could barely move, the pain was intense. I couldn’t hold my leg straight. They did not give me anti-anxiety or pain medication for the MRI, which I couldn’t complete because of the severity. The technician let me know that that was making his job harder and he was disappointed.

I was told by my husband that we were drowning financially. I got a job at Starbucks, which probably wasn’t the best idea, but I wanted my mobility back and I was told the only way to do that was to keep working for it. I did. At one point, my husband told me he missed being intimate. I did too, but I told him I couldn’t right then, so he could find someone else for that. He said I could too, which was a slap in the face at the time because I couldn’t even think about it with him. I was seriously contemplating suicide because of the pain. I went into the crisis unit at Baptist. While I was there, I found a therapist. We spoke with one of the therapists about our lack of a physical relationship. The therapist told him to listen to me, and he said that he refused to touch me because I was in too much pain and it was too complicated. I’m drowning in medical debts and it will be years before I get my settlement.

My husband started spending questionable amounts of time with my sister on family dinner nights. He would disappear into her room for hours at a time and watch her play video games. My family was encouraging it because he was a “positive male influence”. My sister, 11 or 12 at the time, told me that because I got to spend every other day with him, I couldn’t have his time while we were there. I told her that wasn’t right he’s my husband. I even tried to say something to my mom about it. I was told I was out of line for protesting. My injuries were dismissed. All attempts to medicate me for the pain involved substances that made it difficult to concentrate while I was driving, and I was having to take myself to appointments where doctors were also dismissing what I had been through. I started using cannabis.

I have my deposition about the accident. The lawyers say, why didn’t you call an Uber? What I legally could not say was, “I was not aware of how intoxicated Mr. Dude was, and how is calling for an Uber any different from accepting a ride from someone else?” Even if the argument there is that they are professional drivers, there’s no guarantee they’re not also intoxicated.

The spouse and I move. It was the only way to afford to live at the time, and it provided me with the opportunity to put some distance between him and my family. We were fighting on a regular basis. He’s diving further into this odd dynamic with my sister. My pain is constantly being diminished. He’s withholding affection and physical intimacy because my limited mobility and pain are inconvenient.

My sister goes into IOP. She had been dealing with severe depression and suicidality. Mom and her husband had already planned to go down to Florida, I was supposed to take care of her through it. I saw red. My sister had been self-mutilating and had a suicide plan. Why wasn’t anyone else taking this seriously? She and I weren’t on good terms because my husband had been driving this wedge between us and convincing everyone I was really abusive. I wasn’t. I was rightfully angry about the dynamic and the way he had been treating me after the accident.

I told my mom I wasn’t happy with her leaving while my sister was in the hospital, but I’d do it anyway. I got my things together. I went over. My husband had picked my sister up from school that day and was with her until I was ready to come over. I asked him to prepare Savannah for the fact that he was leaving. He didn’t. My sister and I had a big argument. She ran into her room with a bottle of pills and locked the door. I broke it down, took the pills, told my husband he could take care of her that week, and called mom to let her know what happened. She went to Florida.

My sister starts dealing with a hacker at some point. They’re messing with her Spotify, they’re sending explicit porn through her phone to other minors, they’re shutting her computer down when she tries to play video games, and they are constantly sending her abusive text messages saying truly heinous things. At first they’re trying to control her over other things. Then she gets into a relationship with one of her friends and their ammunition is that she has to leave her boyfriend or they’ll destroy her life. I immediately thought it might be my husband. He was acting strange around my sister anyway. He’s in IT. He’s the highest level technician they have there. It’s really the only thing that makes sense. No one else believed me.

Meanwhile, my settlements come in. A couple of them sat in an account with my lawyers. I take some and buy my Outback with all the safety features. I named it Scooby. I start feeling comfortable driving again.

I’m discussing the relationship between my sister and spouse with my therapist. She said he would never do that, that nothing is inappropriate about their dynamic despite never seeing them outside of the office and his tendency to lie. My spouse raped me twice that year. The rest of the settlements came in. I bought 13 fish tanks. I paid off the $500,000 in medical debts that’d been destroying my credit. I bought him a car outright. I’m smoking a lot of high-end cannabis with shatter and drinking on a regular basis. I retreated into writing, music, television and video games. I was completely isolated. My friends weren’t around and my anger over everything made me cringe apparently.

I leave my therapist because she continues to side with my husband.

I tell the spouse that I want to buy a house with the settlement money. He said no. I did it anyway. I met up with a mortgage broker, repaired our credit, and eventually bought the condo. At this point, we have agreed that it will be (ANUSTART). It was not. We move into the condo, I buy new furniture. Nothing changes. In fact, I’ve stopped going to see my mother and sister on the family dinner nights, but he still goes.

When I tell him I would like some solidarity in creating boundaries with them, he starts telling me that he’s working late on projects at work. In fact, he’s taking entire days off to go see my sister, who had dropped out of school at that point because of the stress from the depression and the hacker. He also took her out of town, offered her elicit substances, had inappropriate conversations, touched her inappropriately, etc. My best friend at the time decided to ghost me. She was talking to the spouse behind my back. He was gaslighting everyone into believing his intentions were good. He just wanted to be my sister’s big brother. I was the one that had the problem because I was so angry and “abusive”.

We buy the condo. I buy new furniture for the new start, and now the settlement money is basically gone. I’m still in a lot of pain and isolated. I’m supposed to get a job but I don’t want to sit in an office all day and lose my mobility and I’m still in too much pain to have a physical job. The hacker is messaging me pictures of my front door. They’re fucking with my devices. I keep begging my mom to get someone else to reset everything for her because I knew that it was him. He was always in his office “working”. I think he was using his resources at work to accomplish what he did.

I have an affair with the neighbors son. He’s an alcoholic and an extreme gambler. He came onto me, and I asked my husband if our agreement still stood. He said yes. I went for it. Then I was the villain. He intentionally stayed home to work so I couldn’t. He told everyone about it and skewed it in his favor. When I finally told my mother, she was only concerned with if I would leave my husband. I am drugged and sodomized and physically assaulted. The man I’m having the affair with doesn’t believe me about what’s going on and I’m in full blown perpetual breakdown mode because I’m dealing with this alone and I don’t see a way out.

In August 2021, I total my car after having a full dissociative blackout. I was listening to a playlist and a specific combination of songs threw me into it. Scoob was my one safe thing in this entire world and I lost that, too. I get COVID. I cut myself for the first time since I was a teenager. I have a breakdown and go into Our Lady of Peace. But I’m on the COVID ward. There’s no one to really talk to about what’s going on. I’m in denial and starting to believe I’m paranoid about everything because no matter how well I word it or how passionately I say it, he’s such a good guy and would never do something like that.

The hacker is doubling down on my sister when she starts to rebel and do whatever she wants. She’s going to stay with her boyfriend, and she’s going to play her games and listen to her music and live her life and she’s going to ignore the constant barrage of messages constantly tearing her down. They’re taking nude photos of her underage friends and sending them out, they’re saying they’re going to ruin her family financially and do all kinds of terrible things if she doesn’t comply.

I started really getting into talking to my stepsister. We would hang out every Friday and just talk. When I told her about what had happened, what I thought and how I felt about it, she told me that she had also found the dynamic weird.

In September, I get a message from the hacker that my sister’s boyfriend is over at her house. My husband doesn’t want my sister to be with him. When I tell my husband he immediately goes over. From the account I was given, he got into this teenage boy’s face and cussed him out. The hacker kept saying that they would turn Dustin into the FBI, and he used that as ammunition to try and force my sister and her boyfriend to break up. My sister saw him for who he was that day and never saw him again.

My husband became very depressed after that. I went to go see my sister on her birthday after not seeing her or my mother for months. She sits down with me and tells me everything over the next few months. I get a job as a kennel manager and I’m driving out to Simpsonville three times a day to walk dogs. It’s not enough money to leave, so I get a second job.

Then, in January, my grandmother sends me a link to a local news article, and we discover that my sister’s father had purposefully neglected to report his mother’s death to collect the social security checks. The house was a wreck, infested with mold and who knows what else. He had backed up the septic into the basement to cover the smell, he had left her in the bed for months and the decomp on the mattress and the floor haunts me to this day. On top of trying to work and everything else that had happened, now I’m trying to help my mother and sister with getting what remains out of the house. We had people harassing us to sell them the house whenever we were there. I told one man that we were grieving, and that the house was in extreme disrepair. He had already left his information with us, and we would call him when we were ready to sell, but there was an investigation so he would have to wait and leave us the fuck alone.

I was told by my manager that I wasn’t allowed to talk to the Vet I worked for about any of this. She was having a lot of financial issues and was really stressed out. I was forgetting things, dissociating, panicking, and still trying to bust my ass at work. It wasn’t good enough. She let me go and I stayed with the mobile groomer. We had a good relationship at first and bonded as disabled women who had to keep working because the system says we’re not worth the disability. She stuck me with another groomer full time on the truck and then everything fell apart.

Then I kicked my husband out. I got a job at a smoke shop. I let someone move in who I didn’t know was a drug-addict. People were coming in and out of my house all the time that I didn’t know, they were a rough crowd, and I was having trouble because I’m a very private person. I was sexually harassed by my boss and gave up. I went through burn out and didn’t leave my house for a couple of months.

Then I started working under the table. I was struggling financially, and my husband moved back in. I was overwhelmed, and everything else had fallen through because I was not given the grace I deserved. He knew how I felt, he knew that I knew, and he knew that if he didn’t help me, I’d take every loss and turn him in. It’s only been five months since then, but I have kicked him out again. After given the opportunity to tell me the truth, he still asserted that he did what he did because of me.

Now I’m at a new job where our awesome little store has been blowing up over the past few weeks and I’m struggling because I’ve also sprained my ankle and my cat sliced open my eyelid. I am fatigued by the weight of this sword I’ve been carrying. But if everything works out right, I’ll get to keep my condo and my car. All of this madness, all of the pain, this whole war my life has been turned into is finally paying off.

How to find Diamonds in Minecraft: Diamond Level In Minecraft 1.19

Want to know how to locate Diamonds easily in Minecraft? Finding Diamonds always required doing the same thing, no regardless of the version of Minecraft you were playing on. Since then, there have been a few changes that dramatically alter the way the world generation (and Diamond spawning) operates in any Minecraft world.

Learn how to find Diamonds in Minecraft 1.19, and how to locate Diamonds in earlier versions of Minecraft. We will also discuss the best ways to mine and harvest Diamonds so that you can make the most of the game by using the most powerful weapons and armor.

On this page:

How do I find Diamonds in Minecraft 1.19 How to find Diamonds in Minecraft 1.17 and earlier. Best method to mine Diamonds in Minecraft

How to find Diamonds in Minecraft 1.19

To find Diamonds in Minecraft 1.19, you need to dig below the Y=15 mark. This is the place at which you can increase the chances of finding Diamonds.

Minecraft 1.18 introduced several important changes to Minecraft's world generation. If you're playing Minecraft 1.18 or later you'll be able to go below Y=0 and into negative figures. Below Y=0, you'll find all the usual ores including Diamonds embedded in Deepslate blocks instead of the normal Stone blocks.

See the graph below of the distribution of ore for more information on where you can find the highest concentration of Diamonds and other resources:

Diamond is generated at Y=15, and increases in frequency as you go down. To see the current Y-Level, hit F3 and you will be visible on the coordinates displayed. The current level of your lower half is shown by the second number following "XYZ".

However in the event that a Diamond is about to be placed close to an open-air block during world generation, it has the chance of not reproducing. This makes it harder to find diamonds in caves. server list You'll need to invest some time digging into the earth to increase your chances of finding them.

So, in summary: to locate diamonds quickly take a trip as low as you can until you reach bedrock, then start strip-mining!

How to find Diamonds in Minecraft 1.17 and earlier versions

If you're still playing on Minecraft 1.17 or earlier, then you'll be able to find Diamond Ore in every Overworld biome from the Y-levels 1-15. They appear most often between levels 5-12. If you want to increase your chances of finding Diamonds in your Overworld biome, stay between these two levels.

Whatever version of Minecraft you're playing with, Diamonds will spawn in tiny veins of up to 9 blocks at a time, although often you'll see larger veins comprised of multiple veins touching each other. Therefore, even at the best levels, Diamonds are pretty rare.

Best method for mining Diamonds in Minecraft

Diamond Ore can only be mined using an Iron Pickaxe or better. As of 1.18, Diamonds are far less common in open spaces like caves. This means that to increase your chances of finding Diamonds in Minecraft you must strip-mine in straight lines across all directions.

The most efficient method to mine Diamonds in Minecraft 1.19 is to dig to level 57 and create a long 2-block-tall tunnel in any direction. Then begin to mine to either side of the tunnel in additional 2x1 tunnels, leaving a two-block gap between each new tunnel.

When you're satisfied that you've stripped-mined all Diamonds on that level, repeat the whole process until you reach level 53. You'll be able to see all Diamonds that spawn between level 51 and -58 when you do this at both levels -57 and 53. This allows you to get the highest amount of Diamonds without running into blocks of Bedrock that may otherwise hinder the strip-mining process.

If you're playing Minecraft 1.17 or earlier, you can use the same method, but using levels 6 and 10.

When mining, it's a good idea to have an Water Bucket on hand, since pockets of lava are fairly common at these levels. Be sure to carry plenty of torchlights to light your path and prevent mobs from spawning inside your tunnels. Alternately, you can light your way using Night Vision potions - though it won't stop mobs from creating.

If you're struggling to find Diamonds in Minecraft even after reading this guide, you might want to check out our top Minecraft texture packs list, because these packs may help with visibility. Also, check out our list of the top Minecraft seeds for certain worlds that provide easy access to Diamonds. Additionally, we have our top Minecraft shaders list, to improve the lighting of your worlds.

TADAAAAA! it's done

here's a link. i think it works and that it doesn't let you edit it.

don't ask where hiveswap and beyond canon are. i couldn't do the whole thing in time and it would be silly to not upload what i have on 4/13

man i sure hope tumblr didn't completely wreck the resolution on this

here's my commentary that i made while listening:

!! DISCLAIMER !!

some of this will be a bit critical of the music created by homestuck fans. i'm not going after them as a person, i'm just saying what i don't like about their music that's probably 10 years old. i don't mean any bad faith towards the musicians who put their time and effort into creating the songs i've ranked.

vols. 1-4: obviously uuhhhh not the greatest start. mostly just bc it was 2009 and electronic music was Very limited. i ended up placing a bunch of these songs in higher tiers than i should've bc of that. nothing in these albums are very Good except for doctor and sburban jungle but it wasn't a bad listening experience

midnight crew drawing dead: did you know that kevin regamey made a song for this album? yep. the sound director of tunic. this album is pretty primitive. it's a bunch of electronic jazz imitations and they all blur together. very forgettable

vol. 5: this one is really weird. on the one hand it has some of my favorite homestuck music in general. on the other hand a Lot of the tracks suck. it shows how open and fan-friendly homestuck was back in the day. everyone got on the album, even if their song was just a sped-up version of endless climb

alternia: it's just toby fox. what do you want me to say. i enjoyed the video game inspired ones far better than i did as a 12 year old (i didn't play any video games besides minecraft/coolmath until a few years ago)

squiddles!: man this was a weird concept. no huge bangers in here imo, but some tracks are alright. definitely should be getting more attention. although some tracks did not fit their title at all like you had ONE job and that job was to provide a track that sounds like a squiddle afternoon

the felt: same thing as midnight crew where a lot of the tracks are very similar, but it's a lot better because reversed sound effects are a Much Better theme than crappy electronic jazz. also some really great tracks in here

vol. 6: this is the one with all the meme tracks. best songs are frost and obviously megalovania. on a separate note i was prepared to put courser All the way at the top with its fantastic opening and then it got into the actual song and i was thoroughly disappointed

strife!: tensei's specialty (in homestuck) is metal remixes of songs so he made a whole album of them! it's alright. i liked atomic bonsai. all the tracks are pretty unpolished. again, it was 2010, who am i supposed to blame.

alterniabound: very solid all around. not much to say lmao medium: wow this album is Very Good! half of the songs made it into my "favorites" tier so i think that speaks for itself. idk how clark powell did it but the ambience created by these tracks is really beautiful.

mobius trip and hadron kaleido: i'm gonna be real and say it. i don't like this one. it makes more sense when you consider what inspired the album--early 2010s pop SUCKS. plus michael bowman's singing voice is not great in this context

vol. 7: the edgy one! some cool ideas here, but most of them just really weren't great. or maybe i've just heard them too many times. black rose green sun would probably be higher up if i didn't listen to it so much as a 13 year old

sburb: i never listened to this album before and I Really Wish I Had. really creative and beautiful piano solos. go give it a listen the wanderers: another really underrated one! it gives so much life to the exiles

prospit and derse: i had the hsmusicwiki artist commentary pages pulled up while i listened to this and i'm not sure if solatrus's comments made me rank these tracks lower. they lack polish and he seems to agree, but maybe if these were new to me the songs would've been ranked higher. the concept is awesome though and it was handled pretty well

vol. 8: it might be the overlistening thing (Again), but this album has really not aged well for me. the songs honestly all seem rushed….. nothing is great

song of skaia: another album that sadly evaded my tween self due to bandcamp crap. it's awesome. very poetic that the original composer of skies of skaia would create a mini-album that brings the song to life in its full majesty at the end of the webcomic's first half

coloUrs and mayhem: man. this one. how is it this good? it's banger after banger after banger and it doesn't stop and i love it. they should've given homestuck to the fans when they had the chance vol. 9: an overall REALLY solid album wow

symphony impossible to play: i don't talk about it enough but i love overture canon edit and it's been my dream for years to arrange it for concert band--or really any of the four amazing instrumental tracks in the album. not that i would EVER have the guts to give it to my band directors (part self consciousness about my ability to write music and part bc it's from freaking homestuck) but it's good to have a sense of accomplishment y'know?

one year older: this guy made a whole album of chill piano tracks. actually it only has 3 of those. the other songs are outstanding as well. without a doubt my favorite homestuck album

genesis frog: ??????? how is this?? this good? it's such a wonderful classical-sounding (dw not actual classical bc that is Boring as Hell) piece that encapsulates the wonder of homestuck's environments. i am in awe

cherubim: prospit&derse walked so this album could run. that being said, the similar tracks being next to each other kinda dampens the excitement on the bangers for me. also the day before i listened to this album my right earbud stopped working and it ruined carne vale and probably some other tracks that i didn't realize had stereo audio

collide: you know how much i love oppa toby style. well you probably don't because i don't talk about homestuck music that much. well this flash is the combination of 4 homestuck musicians using their signature styles beautifully and better than ever before in the homestuck canon. also james roach is there :D

vol. 10: and the final one that i feel like doing before posting this the first time! i'll do hiveswap/pq/^2 later it's just an obvious thing to post this on 4/13 instead of the whole thing 1 week later. there's a sense of closure behind this music. it shows how much they'd grown since homestuck started and how much it impacted them as a person. and it makes the album a whole lot better because of that

hiveswap act 1 ost: this is a soundtrack with its own defined sounds and they're wonderful but the tracks are too short to stand out. rustblood fell under the curse of of me losing all my enjoyment of it because i listened to it too much. sorry :(

hiveswap friendsim: i thoroughly enjoyed the commentary provided on the hsmusic wiki. and the music duh. probably a bit rushed? how often did those updates come out? like every 1 or 2 weeks?

pesterquest: this wasn't on the tier list and i am SO SAD about it because i really like the pesterquest soundtrack

beyond canon: this album has recieved a lot of my listening time in the past, but it doesn't bring me any joy when i know what little the dedication of the artists amounted to. their commentaries show how excited they were to be on the first homestuck^2 album. they didn't know how quickly the whole thing would collapse under their feet. on the other hand all the songs slap! idk why but this is the only album i had listened to a ton that has Grown on me since then. maybe because a lot of the songs are more abstract and genre-specific than the rest of the homestuck discography, and i can recognize and appreciate that now that i'm older. shrugs well i really like the music

hiveswap act 2 ost: good. glad i can comprehend what an ace attorney is now

thanks for reading :)
