Finally had the spare money and spare time to pick up Mistress of bones by @mzmauthor.bsky.social from my local bookstore @moonpalacebooks.bsky.social Also put in a pre order for the sequel that comes out later this year. It's also on sale at B&N right now but I wanted to support local.

No cheating, post your lock screen. I've had it as :3 carbuncle for so long that I don't recall the original artist, sadly.

Some evidence of my bunny and Eevee love. (More Eevees to be displayed later~)

Also at time of posting the number of shares/reposts were perfect. (It hit 667 as I was adding this though).

Been a while since I posted a Hub update. Been an absurdly busy month (SGDQ, Moving, Job Change, and a litany of other things.) In my #Minecraft #Survival #Bedrock world, I did some massive terraforming of the north hill area and farmland. As well as built up the villager halls some.

Such snacks were had at the cultural snack exchange meetup/activity. Hoping to make it to AGDQ so I can submit for it again. Much love to Dana for approving the activity and helping out with the aftermath. (Had so many leftovers we sent some to staff and the intl meetup as well.)

Did 0 work on the villager hall. Instead I had inspiration for the central structure for the Hub. A 4-Tiered addition rising from the upper level. Each Tier being 8 blocks high. The 3rd tier to 4th (top) tier being domed, and the central circle clear, so as to set a crystal at the top/center.

Good progress on the Hub #minecraft #survival #bedrock base. As well as some progress on the villager trading building to the east (more detailed images will be in the reply. Replaced much of the outer ring's pathways, added trees, and a small wall.

Cleanup has been completed and first part of layout has been blocked out (Pun intended) for "The Hub" #Minecraft #Bedrock #Survival World. The moss lines out the main paths, the rack lines out the exterior towers, and the Hill on the east side shows the start of some terraforming work.

With Main pathways laid out in Moss, Wall towers laid out in Nether rack, and the beginnings of terraforming performed on a nearby hill that was cut flat previously.

The final Quadrant has been flattened and prepped. Phase 1 is complete for the Hub Project for my #Minecraft #Bedrock #Survival World. Time to save a copy as a Creative world and start planning structure layout, as well as move the trees and animal pens to a farmland section just outside.

A view of the Hub Minecraft Map. A central circular Raised section, with a larger concentric circle carved out around it. Mostly barren, but Cardinal and Inter-Cardinal directions are marked out.

Another Quarter flattened and cleared for the Hub Project in my #minecraft Survival Bedrock Build. Also got my villager trading started so I have much better tools now~ Time to flatten part 4 and start working on layout and planning the area outside the central rings!

A view from the upper layer of the hub of the recently flattened and cleaned up 3rd quarter.

Here's an update on "The Hub" #minecraft survival bedrock build. I've got half of the outer ring lain out, and a good bit of the interior (not pictured) hollowed out for Workshops and storage. Still a lot of flattening of the more Hilly "Back Half". After which I'll start up building&park layouts.

Minecraft World: View from the Freshly Flattened outer ring, with the underlayer of Dirt is mostly grass, there are some pig and cows in pens, and you can see the wall pattern of the Inner Ring being a Mix of Tuff and Deepslate Blocks.

Minecraft World: The "Back View" of the Hub's upper level, the Inner Ring is raised above a very much in-progress flattening of a small hilly area. The pattern of the raised area's wall is more visible, consisting of Tuff and Deepslate blocks. There are a number of Spruce trees visible.

Minecraft Map of "The Hub" a build that will be a circular city made up of concentric circle districts.
The Inner Ring is build, the outer ring is 50%.

Been working on a single player #minecraft survival bedrock world. I have some fun ideas for it, but first is the flattening. The first phase is to complete the two main levels, Concentric Circles of 32block Radius, and 64block radius. The Goal is a Magical Future City.

A couple of troll responses in here, but some of the non-trolls might surprise you. :D (Pervert Tier is meant as a joke, though some of them would probably try to watch the WoL bathe without consent.)

FFXIV character Tier List with a special tier for "Pervert" characters. Partially for Lols, but partially because some of them would probably try to watch the WoL bathe without consent.

Some images of my current Minecraft build on the Dogcraft SMP server. The island itself is a constructed extension of a small Mushroom Island Biome, expanded to be the shape of a Paw, upon which I'm building a Resort, with hotels, a Volcano, rail lines, a dock, and other things planned. #minecraft

Minecraft: A room with varied wooden floor slats of differing types, a nether portal on the left hand side, a textured wall made of wooden stair blocks with a green wall behind, a map of the area that depicts an Archipelago shaped like a massive dog's paw, and a staircase leading down.

Minecraft: A top down view of the main central plaza of the Archi-Paw-Lago that has a paw depicted in nether rack, between two large hotel buildings, one with a pool on top, the other with a helipad.

Minecraft: the port for the Archi-Paw-Lago build. A tower made of red sandstone and terracotta with bamboo structures shaped like 2 massive dog's paws, and the dock itself constructed of Bamboo and Sandstone.
