they're flightless btw. like little kakapo people

simple drawing of the bird-inspired villagers, one adult and one baby which is fluffy and cream-colored

the babies are still all downy

village weaver bird is yellow with a black head. this one is hanging off of its nest made from woven grass

based slightly on these little birds literally called "village weavers"

drawings of the villager creature from minecraft as a little brown parrot-like bird

they're like...bird things

I'm digging up so much sand that I would just burn through shovels and use up all the ore

quote from Haruki Murakami: “I keep to this routine every day without variation. The repetition itself becomes the important thing; it’s a form of mesmerism. I mesmerize myself to reach a deeper state of mind. “But to hold to such repetition for so long—six months to a year—requires a good amount of mental and physical strength. In that sense, writing a long novel is like survival training. Physical strength is as necessary as artistic sensitivity.”

Not pictured: Haruki Murakami’s wife, or indeed whoever is cooking, cleaning, paying bills, running errands, doing the laundry, answering emails, etc

like yea his routine is goals, but let’s not lie to ourselves about all the invisible work others are doing to enable him to have that routine

someone asked what the sugar cane is about: use it to make paper to sell to the villagers so you have enough money to buy multiple saplings from wandering traders at a time

when I am not making my square art I sometimes play squares the video game

I like to play single-biome minecraft worlds and try to make the biggest city that I can while still generally following the vanilla game design aesthetics. The desert biome houses look nice when stacked

why are there no moles with really long worm bodies

photo of northern right whale dolphin or Lissodelphis borealis leaping by Delaney Trowbridge. the dolphin is solid black with a white circle between its flippers, and has a very thin body and no dorsal fin.

observe. that;s worm

oh, it's my favorite mammal, the Seaworm

Spongebob "write that down, write that down!" meme

selling frogs on the internet looked at my application but hasn't said anything yet

my dad is upset that I don't have a new job yet. they won't even let me breed crickets for money in Ohio okay

both of my parents were born in America and literally lived in NY but somehow they managed to retain all this weird baggage from the old countries

I don't think I have the time or money really, I just wish I had that lying around instead of a violin. not supposed to use it outside much

yeah I think those were my choices

I totally missed out on that massive cultural touchstone unfortunately

we were not allowed to watch the Simpsons

did I ever tell you guys I wanted to play the saxophone as a kid but my parents wouldn't let me because that was a masculine instrument and I needed a feminine one or something, like some kind of music version of the Doctrine of Signitures

when it was time to pick an instrument in school, I wanted to play brass but my parents wouldn't let me because it was too masculine. so I got this delicate little thing made of wood and fairy dust that can't go outside

none of the instruments I have are any good for this kind of thing. I'm not going to make much inspiring noise at a protest with a violin (there's a temperature limit) or a kalimba

how do I get in on this jam sesh with my theremin

the funny vampyrella amoeba I posted a few days ago that just katamari rolls around inhaling things

one minor is fine, but if you are multiple minors that's not cool

maybe they don't like mosquitos

one of those "before you follow" lists started off with "DNI if you are a/support:" and one of the entries was "minors". don't talk to me if you support the concept of young people

why would JD "shut the hell up about pikachu" Vance even want more kids

"We should make some more rules" as a response to "these psychos constantly ignore all the rules" is the kind of stupid idea that I personally would be embarassed to suggest in public
