Recreating my favorite sweater on minecraft
05 Jan 2026
You know life's been getting tough when you end up starting a
Minecraft world just to decompress. That was me somewhere in
late November when I decided to build the lighthouse landscape
from my sweater.
I originally found this pullover at a thrift store back in 2022,
and since then, I've been fascinated by the illustration. It's
sooo cozy, it looks like the only warm and light place in an
endless cold and a dark ocean.
I got curious and tried looking online for the original drawing.
All I know is what's on the label: the brand is Jerzees NuBlend
and it was made in Guatemala (which makes it very fun that it
ended in Costa Rica, possibly after belonging to some North
American). I looked it up in google but found nothing, just went
down a rabbit hole of 90s sweaters and christmas paintings
Anyways, I've always wanted to build it on Minecraft, to have a
better sense of how it would be to visit that landscape in real
life. Like when you're little and imagine yourself exploring
inside the paintings that were in your house?
I saw a TikTok about it , so I know I'm not the only one.
I wanted to save the idea for the next 2-week-phase minecraft
server with friends, but suddenly I couldn't wait. So I jumped
in a new world, spent like two hours looking for a good place
and got to work. Here's the result:
I'm no expert builder, but I do like to build stuff every once
in a while. My favorite part was doing the interior, and
imagining what kind of cozy rooms would be inside of the
lighthouse. (Click the images for bigger size)
The Oct-Nov-Dec season in the Tropics
16 Nov 2025
Throughout these months, I always see a lot of people on the
internet talking about Autumn things. Like the colder climate,
the exclusive foods and the media they like. And I sooo get it,
Fall is definitely my favorite season. Or it would be, because
here in the tropics we don't have seasons (well, not those
seasons).
Still, this is without a doubt, my favorite time of year. And I
wanna romanticize it as well.
On here, this trimester is a time of change
October is the last month of the rainy season. And also its
heaviest, because we get a lot of storms. There are days when
you wake up to rain, and go to sleep with rain. This can be
super cozy or super depressing, but in a cool dark mysterious
way. (But also a lot of people end up losing their houses or
even lives because of a flood, and every year it seems to get
worse, so I don't wanna romanticize it too much)
We also have Halloween this month. It is an imported tradition,
but so is most of everything else, so who cares. And I feel the
climate fits with it. For some reason, October nights are the
darkest of the year, and have this somber vibe to them. My
favorite thing is when I'm home, it rains all day, and the only
moment when you can finally go for a walk is at like 8:00 PM and
everything is chilly and full of puddles.
November is a transitional period. It starts the same, rainy
days and dark sunsets. Until one day, you wake up and it's the
first sunny morning in weeks. Or even better, the first
beautiful Christmas sunset (more on that later). It's also the
last month of school. And my birthday! So it's a period of
closure and expectation just before the crazy rhythm of the
Holiday Season.
December is when the sunny season starts. But it's not
hot-summer yet. Instead, the climate is chilly, windy and dry.
And there's this beautiful clear sunsets. And for me, going
shopping around christmas is beautiful, everything is
decorated, there's good music and a lot of people being jolly.
The traffic is crazy though.
So, in the span of a few weeks, we go from dark and rainy to
clear and sunny. But I feel like it's not only the climate
that changes. Somehow people tend to do more things at this
time, maybe because the year is ending. The plot always goes
crazy. And something that's inevitable is that I'm always a
different person at the end of December, than I was at the
start of October.
