also okay. look i know ren and doc play into the rendoc thing all the time but it is IMMENSELY funny to me that doc has decided to start directly calling ren his husband....... but only for the purpose of recusing ren as a witness because he can't be called in to testify against his own husband as a conflict of interest thing. this is insane to me. rendoc marriage is real (it is real for purposes of crime),

ANGELOLOGY MONARCH THREE GRIAN 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

He's placed tnt in your base where you'll never find it <3

I'm so sorry this took so long to get to!!! I've been really focused on my other projects and with very little motivation to draw digitally, but I hope you like it! ;w;

I tried to draw him inspired by other people's renditions of his Third Life outfit, but in the end it was very much just improvized,,,

Binary system

For the space nerds 🤝 and if u wanna know the inspo:

High Mass X-ray Binaries form from two stars of different mass which are in orbit around each other. The more massive one evolves faster and reaches the end of its life first, after a few million years or so. It becomes a giant and the outer layers are lost to its companion. Then it explodes in a supernova leaving behind either a neutron star or a black hole. (source)

hm ok so interestingly, bdubs’s courthouse is built on an odd number of blocks. note the roof of the facade coming to a point, but more importantly, the nine pillars….

you don’t use an odd number of pillars. like ever.

let me get this out of the way first: i get why you’d build with odd numbers in minecraft. i usually do it myself, to not run into problems like double doors or two-wide pointed roofs or frustrating spacing/symmetry between decorative elements. however. to not even out the design of something so unequivocally done in every other example of columns and pillars…. fascinating implications…

every other example guys. every other building with columns like this has an even number of them.

doing so sets the line of symmetry at an invisible point between two pillars, an even number on each side. but an odd total number of pillars makes the central pillar itself the line of symmetry. this does a couple things.

one, it upends the sense of community and equality. which i know sounds crazy, but really, a group of columns are all put there to hold up a structure. there’s no focus on one because they are all are working as supports.

symbolically, at least when first used in ancient greece, pillars represented people. and it makes sense for courthouses, especially, to want to show an even, fair, equal number of people on each side. no focus on any one, no inherent bias right off the bat just looking at it.

with an odd number of pillars, though, one will always be placed front and center.

and THEN. and then you walk in the courtroom itself (also odd-numbered blocks) and you are immediately opposite the judge, bdubs, located exactly centrally. and true, courtrooms are often set up like this anyway. but bdubs ups the ante and reaffirms that no, focus is on him by staging it all as a daytime court show, boom mic just over his head, cameras pointed in, spotlights on him.

literally by design, it was not built for justice. it’s built for show, for entertainment. and just look at the credits to know exactly what sort of message you’re supposed to be getting from this show.

the biblical story he used, with king solomon. it’s about king solomon. isn’t really about the trial itself, or the babies, or the women. it’s about showing (off) how wise and just he is. that’s the point. hm. interesting.

now, getting to the second point that etho also picked up on: it feels like a prison.

it’s not just the color palette. when your eyes naturally draw to the center point, you aren’t seeing an open space. instead of feeling like an arch or gateway or otherwise some kind of opening, the pillar there makes it feel closed off. the overall effect is that of prison bars. not pillars lining the entrance to a place of order or a temple. bars of a cage, a cell.

imagine the lincoln memorial were set up with 11 or 13 pillars. he’d look so much more trapped in there.

having a central pillar blocks the entrance. it’s not welcoming. you have to go around it; it’s immediately inconveniencing you. and when you go to leave, it’s there blocking you again.

this courthouse was not designed and built to be fair, nor accomodating, nor equitable, on any terms. even if unintentional, i wouldn’t call it so much coincidental as i would… subconscious.

after all, y’know. form follows function.

transcription under cut because i cant be bothered to make my writing intelligible

Pic 1:

Ajax: "MOOM I frew up." (<- drank the Abyss Monster™)

(Happened for the third time this week.) (It's tuesday.)

(Secretly moved because he called her "mom".)

Pic 2:

Ajax: "Master, I think I'm dying." (← almost fucking died fighting the narwhal)

Skirk: "Oh you've grown so much." (← grandma mode)

Pic 3:

Skirk: "Hey, boy, lunch. Or dinner or whatever."

(Mysterious abyssal substance (yummy))
