i cant stop drawing lego people
i’m at a party right now and i heard someone on a walkie talkie and i turned around and it’s a mom who left her kids home on their own for the first time ever (they’re old enough) and they live a few houses down so she gave them a walkie talkie to call her if they get nervous. they just walkietalkied her for permission to eat ice cream
she told them they can stay up and read for 30 more minutes 🙌🏻

lego people on my phone
whenever i get worried about being judged i just gotta remind myself that most people genuinely just arent mean. some people really do suck but i think 98% of the human population is a lot kinder than your anxiety would let you believe
it's easy to lose sight of when youre online but all the dickheads are just pushed forward by algorithms. theyre an exception that are being way overrepresented. most people have sense and logic and are kind and normal and well adjusted in the real world

summer break started which means fortnite
the thing is people often talk about how minecraft steve is the most whitewashed character since jesus christ but never does anyone discuss how they’re perhaps the most misgendered character ever
steve (alongside all the other default skins, for that matter) are referred to with they/them and with gender-neutral language by the developers!
i think the most interesting part is that steve (and the others, mostly alex) are constantly misgendered by not just fans, but official minecraft content itself. merch, social media posts, etc will often refer to steve with he/him, and alex with she/her, although sometimes they seem to omit pronouns entirely. the developers, though, have seen them as genderless since basically the beginning
before notch became who he is today, he posted about gender in minecraft, ending it with:
and in an interview with lydia williams, she talks about how she was corrected on steve’s gender (presumably by her coworkers at the time):
and again, in the latest skin-related video, both steve and sunny are referred to solely with they/them. the developers seem pretty set and comfortable with the genderless nature of the player characters, which makes it really confusing as to why the rest of the branding ignores that fact entirely
