It's been a minute, but I've been busy with real life stuff, so not much time for gaming. However, I have confirmation of a shopping district on the server!

My project list is now:

Starter base

Potions shop

Witch farm

Guardian farm

Pirate base

Hogwarts Valley

Thieves Guild???

Not necessarily in that order

The Pirate Base (my main base) is gonna be fairy vibes because it's my imagination and I can do what I want as long as I don't break any server rules.

Hogwarts Valley is a spur of the moment project I asked the others on The Council (really just myself, our Admin, and the other former admins, so 5 of us) if they wanted to build it with me. If not, then I'll save this for a later world.

The Pot Shop (omg, I think I just found its official name..) is gonna be built before I get the witch farm set up just so that no one can say I stole their shoo idea (it happened on server one)

The guardian farm is gonna need so much sand, a lot more than I currently have, so it's currently on hold for the moment.

The starter base is gonna have all the farms that I need to start up, minus a trading hall and a breeder. Those will have to wait. I want to set up some 0 tic farms to run when I'm alone on the server, but I gotta check with Admin about it beforehand (it was a hard no last time, but that's because I had the laggiest base on S1 and I was right next to the base with the most farms in S2, but I'm alone on S3 so we'll see how that goes)

The Thieves Guild was a project I had barely finished building when S2 was shifted to be a save file on a thumb drive. Me and two others were really excited about it because it's been a running gag, so I'll see if they wanna set something up again. If not, then I might just build it anyway and leave it in my base.

The witch farm is probably the most important thing for my shop because of the glass bottles. However, as future me adds this in, I wanna do a raid farm, too. Hm.

Now, do I sleep or do I fix the test build of the Pot Shop? (I was struggling, but I looked back at the reference just now and I know what I did wrong) I think sleep is the decision to try.

Rq! Before I go, does anyone know how to get, like, blueprints for a build? That's horrible wording...um...I can't remember what it's called or what it would be called, but it's like an overlay of the build that you can put into your world and it tells you what block needs to be put where. Hm. Twin might know. I'm pretty sure she's used it before.

Screenshots and reference photos pending

Before I go to sleep, I'mma be very proud of myself for a moment because I have never been this lucky.

Our Admin reset the Minecraft server, so now we're playing a normal survival world. I got on for the first time about 8pm yesterday.

In just about 3 hours I (in order) got enchanted leather armor, looted a shipwreck, looted a Pillager Outpost, looted a second shipwreck, found buried treasure (resulting in 3 diamonds, a Heart of the Sea, 2 water breathing potions, 5 gold, and 16 iron), and found a Guardian Temple.

I only died once, and it was to a zombie while I was getting coal.

My original plan was to find a nice cove to build a Pirate Ship and Town (inspired by Scar's Season 6 base), but now that's pushed back in favor of getting a Guardian Farm up and running.

...I feel like S8 Grian, doing later game stuff so early on... I'm not going after the Ender Dragon yet, though.

Anyway. I also need to get a Nether Portal and an Iron Farm set up before I can get a functional Guardian Farm (I think. I've never actually built one before) so those are pretty high on my to-do list. I figure, if I play for roughly 3-4 hours a day, I could get this all done by the end of the week. (With how much I tend to get sidetracked, though...)

Also, a bigger food source would probably be good, but I'mma wait until I've got a set base and a Nether Tunnel set up for that. For now, we're doing late-game on a starter's salary!

The TMNT need to be canon in every franchise so that all of my favorite universes can be connected by a single turtle shaped pizza string

I was right! My vision has gotten worse!

ETA for my glasses: Sept. 7th, maybe sooner

Eye appointment set for tomorrow! Yay!

Why do I have to pay to see? It's bull

One day, I'm gonna sit down and I'm gonna finish every WIP I've started.

It may take a day, it may take a week, it may take a month. But I have vowed that by the end of this year, every WIP I currently have is going to be finished.

So it has been said, so it shall be written, so it shall be done

Edit: We have 12 Wips to work on and finish by the end of the year (Not In This Order) -Enough Caffeine To Kill An Elephant (2) -How To Balance Your Daytime and Nighttime Activities So That You Don't Burn Yourself Out More Than You Already Have (1, 2) (S) -Take Back Your Minx (1, 2) -Batman's Biggest Hater (1) -Time Loop: Ghosts of the Present and Future (1) -Reunion of Brothers (1, 2) -Morally Grey in a World of Black and White (1, 2) (S??) -Be Thou For The People (1, 2) (S) -Cryptid Rules (1) -Survivor's Guilt (2, 3) (S) -Well, This Is Awkward (3) -To Be A Normal Kid (2, 3) (S) This list is excluding any projects that I have notes on but haven't started. Those will be started at some point next year. (probably)

I saw a thing yesterday that said eye appointments are supposed to be an annual thing. ??? Miss Ma'am? Idk where you're getting your information, but I think it's wrong.

The only annual eye appointments I ever had was in elementary school when all us students were herded off to stand in lines in the gym to make sure we could still see the boards in class. Those proved to be useless because I was not born with 20/20 vision and no one believed that my sight was getting worse until I walked up to my fifth grade teacher one day and said "I can't read the board" despite sitting maybe 5 feet away.

I got my first pair of glasses in 6th grade. From then, I don't go until my glasses break or I am unable to see outta the lenses.

..or a secret third option where the DMV told me that they would not allow me a learners permit until I had new glasses because "These results are telling me that you're legally blind. Come back with an actual eye exam and new glasses."

For anyone who's curious, this is a pretty good idea of what I see without my glasses on (I am very near sighted)

The 20/400 is what I was what I was told my vision was at when I got the glasses I now have in my junior (sophomore? can't remember) year. No one told me what that meant, but I still haven't bothered to look it up. I can finally make blind jokes and my friends can't tell me off for them! (as long as they're in good taste)

I wonder if it got worse???? Sure feels like it

Eye appointment set for tomorrow! Yay!
