phormthevixdjinnThe picture juttered to life, unstable but quickly reaching stillness.
Lighting bloomed as tinny audio slowly settled into something more coherent.
"Is it going?"
The mink slipped into the scene, pulling herself into a chair set up on center frame. She gestured toward the screen, presumably indicating the camera filming her. She donned a well worn punk jacket, covered with studs and pins, and seemingly a lifetime of stories.
Her eye was swollen. Blackened. Dried blood on the bridge of her nose beneath a bandage. There was a piece missing from her ear.
Behind her, the San Francisco skyline was just visible across the bay from where she sat, which was apparently atop a roof somewhere.
"Should be! Go ahead whenever you're ready." The voice from off camera was perky and bright.
The wind was still that day.

minecraft ~ farms
Sep. 18th, 2025 03:28 pmkossaimost of pictures go up on tumblr right now , but ...
honestly so totally in love with these farms . always used to make proper 9 by 9 farms , but given almost always play singleplayer , that build up to be way too much supply , and then farms become just decorative ... which is not very nice when those farms do not even look pretty !
so , decide to make little farms that would be functional at smaller scale , while also pretty enough to be decorative in case ever need to stop harvest . since this whole world is faerie world ... why not fit under pretty little trees ? and make circles , too ! yeah , circles go pretty far in this world . ;D
can not really tell from this angle , but jungle logs in back also grow some cocoa beans ! this turn out to be perfect solution , as did not just want to plant random jungle trees in this biome , while still desperately want cocoa beans . can now farm some right at home !

minecraft ~ towers and terrain
Sep. 15th, 2025 08:11 pmkossaiso main fae base " accomodate " for multiple sizes and inhabitant types , but think all these little far-off splinter bases will only build for kossai : 0.35 player scale , less than full block tall , and with elytra for glide . one thing this means is occasional towers to get glide from , as well as generally landmark and vantage points .
problem is that need pretty tall height to get good glide anywhere - 32 blocks up from flat land give 200 blocks of glide , 64 give 450 . of course this can change with different elevations , of both tower point and target terrain ... which is to say this is kind of nightmare and really not sure how to make these things look good !
think would also really like to figure out how to fill in gaps between these bases , really give this world some life . remember some fun stuff from pearlescentmoon's hermitcraft season 9 base ... so many season 10 bases also really fantastic . work on small singleplayer scale here , so definitely not expect any of that ! but at least ideas of how to fill in paths and gaps . and again , etho . etho etho etho . there was time when always want to try everything etho try , so surely there is inspiration to find again !

minecraft ~ fresh start ?
Sep. 14th, 2025 09:29 pmkossaiwell ... not quite , but definitely think over and change some of approach . for one , main fae base have this sort of rocky hill area that did want to keep as such without trees , but ... trees vital part of how this base function and shape , so decide to start fill in - so much better now . want to still honour rockiness though - cute custom boulders !
second ... really want this world to be forever world . that means need to get around , explore , really play . as much as love build in fae area , clearly burn out and get frustrate when that was only goal . so ... decide now , will also set up mini home bases ... anywhere ! anywhere that look pretty , or might even cheat with location commands to find all those cool fun features .
like , not actually actively play survival since days of 1.10 . know things from videos but not personal experience ! and that also give reason to make cute little bases in different parts of world . still prefer to build in creative mode , so still switch back and forth , but ... hope that can make things more fun ! will also definitely go back and forth , live in main area too , not just keep as decorative euphoria :P
just . like to watch others have fun in minecraft , and new vampires SMP today just really inspire . should probably revisit some old etho episodes too , etho was always big inspiration .

Sep. 14th, 2025 04:11 pmkossaipast life series end , naked and afraid series end , hermitcraft season 10 is on way out - suddenly have minecraft video hole to fill . so of course vampires SMP exist now ! ooh , really giddy about this . just fantasise now about this kind of situation but with fae ... oh to be faerie who live among humans in disguise , intent on snatch away and expand court , hehehehe .
... already have half of that down , but other half is sadly quite illegal , and also just not very nice . :P ah ! games will have to do .

weird relationship with advice
Sep. 13th, 2025 09:38 pmkossaiin teen years , some people consider kossai to have bad reputation as " whiner " who always have million and one excuses for any piece of advice . and to be honest , yeah , that shit still kind of stick bad in mind , even though ... well .
for one thing , not always look for advice when explain or complain about things . sometimes just need to complain , and people make things awkward or outright hostile when assume look for advice only to get shut down . like talk " 30 year old who legitimately want to doxx teenager over this shit " hostile , that fucking loser . ( never did pan out , but grow more and more horribly baffle by this guy with each year that pass . )
for two , even when want advice , not always able to explain very well , or feel uncomfortable about explain certain parts especially in more public settings , or even just ... not always know which pieces of context people need , and which ones can safely assume to know .
so what happen in those situations is that maybe say something vague about current situation - maybe in this case about struggles with school - and someone say just ask teacher next time . but not account for fact that kossai did not attend ordinary classroom with good attentive teacher , because did not want to share special ed bullshit , and could really only say : appreciate thought , but can not really do that .
and hence , decide kossai was just simple whiner . no one think that maybe either already try these things and see no good results , or in circumstances where really just not possible , and judge on that .
or like , in think about storage and room layout as happen right now . see this room everyday , and know size and amount of objects , and sometimes just forget that other people obviously do not . so people who want to give advice , often base that on personal assumptions of size and amount . which is not at all to say angry at people when this happen , because know mean well , of course . just like , feel awkward to come back around and give corrections , simply because not every useful piece of context to start with .
and problem with context troubles is that , honestly never even realise when context is missing to start with , until someone actively join conversation and highlight by accident . never feel good about that , but can not just make brain do this better .

whew
Sep. 13th, 2025 06:39 pmkossaifeelings get into weird possibly hormonal spiral , so just spend last hour on paper craft shelf organisation . cut down some premade layout papers for cute junk journal signatures ... well , not that digital kit really hit quite like actual junk junk journal , but this was cute little gift so would like to use at some point . problem is just not any space to store another junk journal ! also manage to consolidate paper stacks from 2 organiser things into just 1 .
just need good way to store these extra window clings now ... not quite sure how or where to do that . seem pretty sturdy but biggest one come with lots of small pieces , do not want to risk snag and break in storage .
if actually feel better ... eh , not totally sure , still kind of wonky . but at least get some things done that mean to do for months now , even if also have to deal with pain .

little ramble
Sep. 11th, 2025 09:08 pmkossaicrosspost from tumblr @ thaliendir . lots of TES thoughts and interactions to have over there right now :'D
feel like kossai would definitely benefit from physically present tist , like . only ever done through pre-made audios and scripts , with lover legion over voice call , or else with each other ( effectively " solo " ) , so actually not really any experience in physical sessions .
... but sure do take advantage of internal interaction with each other , and know that touch , visual , and non-verbal sound triggers all work really really good , personally . do not tend to need very long induction , just little bit of set dressup and something pretty to focus on will do :P
funnily regardless of methods certain suggestions just do not stick - anything that is like forget this , forget that , nope that is just ... impossible ? plurality might actually be factor there - have very strong collective memory between each other . can still be wonky in other ways , especially in psychosis , but generally seem pretty impenetrable from outside .
would honestly love to see what stage tist make of kossai . maybe some day ...
