Well of course

it’s not as exciting as it sounds, but the phase of the moon has control over how powerful monsters are, along with slimes sizes and black cats

@chaoswasleftunsupervised asked for Beef and Iskall having their daily farmer fight, but I think what they meant to say was 'Beef being a farmer and Iskall being a menace to society*'

*Beef

Minister of Light

I was inspired by all the moth designs for him that were created lately, I don't headcannon him as a moth tho (yet, It might change one day) but he's got some moth inspired fancy clothes!

The fluffy part of his cloak is literally the softest thing ever, he likes to snooze in it from time to time

let him snooze (but not for too long! We don't want him to fall asleep for the rest of the season again!!)

Anyways I think I found my new favourite hermit,,,,, Wels is so chill, like I love all the chaos and stuff but his videos are so... how to phrase it? I don't know but it just feels good watching them, and his building style is also, very cool. (maybe also the fact that he's a builder makes him much more enjoyable to watch, I dunno I just don't understand the redstone stuff that much-)

if your still doing the ask game, warden doc?

I’ve actually already done a warden Doc before!

Though, in that post I did mention it turned out more like a literal warden rather than a hybrid, so I tried a second shot at it! Unfortunately, in doing so I discovered a fatal flaw in my idea. I just like drawing my warden design too much! He kind of just ended up a slightly more anthropomorphized warden lmao

For the hybrid swap ask game.

bunny ears on tango, got it

i think one of the appeals of tango to me is, not to reveal the fact i used to spend a lot of time on tvtropes as a teenager, that he's very much to me the bunny-ears lawyer. which, for the record, is a trope where a character has some obvious quirk or thing that would normally make them not fit for a job, they're just otherwise so ABSURDLY COMPETENT that you keep them on anyway. for example: a lawyer who always wears pink bunny ears to court, but also always manages to win cases despite this obvious quirk.

anyway that is tango to me. he is a cartoon character and an absurd guy who makes, uh, lets call it questionably yonic corners. however he is so absurdly competent at his redstoning and contraptions that it outweighs any downside the ridiculousness would entail. sure, if you have tango help you on your project he's going to die repeatedly with comedic pianos falling on his head and exploding totems or whatever, and make cartoon noises the whole time. he'll just ALSO be able to set up that dynamic chunk loading for you so really, you have no choice here,

Once upon a time, there was a cave, and there was a tree.

Oh, that's not how most people like to start to tell the story. The thing about telling stories is that it's often easiest to start from the ending. From tumbling down cliffsides and rings of cactus and dying just barely out of reach of your king, just barely after him. Of things constantly burning, of the first time being the first to die, of bunkers in the desert and a group of five standing around an enchanting table, waving a flag. Of clocks, and betrayals, and things that weren't actually betrayals (even though they seem like they should be), of firing squads--

That is not how the story starts.

It doesn't even start with a creeper, although I would guess if you asked them about it, more than one of them would probably say it did.

No, if I were to tell the story, I would tell it like this:

Once upon a time, there was a cave. Everyone had gathered in it, with crafting tables and beds. They were being attacked by phantoms. They're chatting about how to solve the phantom problem, because they are friends. They step outside to kill the phantoms, because they can, and because it's funnier, and because they don't know how to be afraid yet.

Once upon a time, there is a tree. It grows right under one of them, trapping them in its branches. "Help!" she cries out. "What's happened?" Everyone scrambles to help cut down the tree together. When she escapes, they all agree it was a close call. It would be awfully silly, they think, for someone to die this soon, and besides, aren't they all working together?

They go back inside and they laugh. They are all green. None of them have an idea of what happens when they aren't any longer. They are all happy.

This changes. It also doesn't.

I start this story with the tree because they all, together, agree that the tree is ridiculous and silly, but all help to cut it down anyway. I start this story with the tree because by the end--

Well. My point is that the tree is a far happier story, in my opinion. My point is also, maybe, that starting with what it would become, well, that won't do at all. Starting with the part of the story that's sad, dramatic, ridiculous--that rather misses the point.

The point is that it started with a cave, and a tree, and everything else came collapsing down after it. It's easy to bury the memory of a time it would be safe to all hide in a cave together, laughing, and save one another from a tree.

It does not do to forget.
