Minecraft Piglins fuck me up. Like, they’re one of two/three seemingly sentient species, but there’s clearly something wrong with them.

They’ve got bastions throughout the nether, huge buildings that at one point were clearly lovingly constructed. Not only were these buildings functional (apartment complexes, hoglin stables), but they created art. Not just carvings, but music. Not even villagers have created music discs, only piglins. Piglins also had access to the overworld at some point, they have a number of items (carrots, water bottles, string, iron) that could only have been obtained from the Overworld.

But… something happened. At some point in the past, something happened, and Piglins lost the ability to maintain their buildings. The buildings fell into ruins, and even though the Piglins stayed with the ruins, they couldn’t salvage them. They just wander the broken hallways.

What happened? Well, we don’t know for sure. But… Piglins are afraid of Zombie Piglins. Even though Zombie Piglins won’t attack them, Piglins still try to get away from them. Despite this, Zombie Piglins don’t appear infectious. Piglins don’t even turn into them when they die. Instead, Piglins turn into Zombies when exposed to the Overworld. The Overworld infects them, and unlike Zombie Villagers, there is no cure.

It can’t have always been this way, Piglins would’ve needed to be able to access the Overworld at some point to get materials. But something went wrong. And here you are, exploring the ruins of a society and left wondering what happened. Or maybe more importantly, are you next?

Comic based on a convo I had with my friend over Gabriel

heyyyyyyyyy, been a while - college keeps me busy, but have some minecraft brainrot - i have. many thoughts about Piglins.

Oh look, just as fast and dirty as any other April 1st gag bit. Matt, Staff, Automattic, etc, FIX YOUR HEARTS. And do some work on the real problem on here.

hey ignore the twink being crucified do you think the big glowing electronic screens and lights and wires is a creature. second question do you think its capable of engaging in sexual activity

[image ID: two images. the first is a tweet from Docm77. It reads “For some reason my logo suggestion for my shop was turned down. Can’t imagine why.”

The second is a screenshot of the hermitcraft discord chat, which was attached to the tweet. Doc shares a link to a Belmarzi tweet suggesting a “Big Wood” logo that is deliberately designed so the text is subtly shaped like a dick. The hermits respond:

Hypno: oh my

GeminiTay: [a pepe emote that is sweating with a :| expression, holding up a red sign that says ‘NO’]

Smallishbeans: that’s actually a really clever logo design, completely inappropriate but kinda genius

Docm77: yeah, super genius, lol

Xisuma: [a picard facepalm reaction gif] omg… i was wondering what the big deal was? Took me forever to see it

Docm77: lol

ZombieCleo: That’s a merch logo if I ever saw one /end ID]

putting this on the list with “iskalls villagers” as one of my favorite images of hermit communication of all time i am laughing so much at all of these responses,

I found an old rusty USB in the basement today should I see if anything’s on it

theres something so funny to me when hermits are talking about redstone and theyre like "and then theres an etho hopper clock here-"

like. of course they use etho hopper clocks, itd be weirder if they actively avoided using it, considering its like. a redstone thingy that is very useful and still works even after all this time, and from what i understand it was like. a pretty big deal in terms of useful things you could do with redstone back when he first made it because it opened up ways to do even more things with redstone

and like for the most part theyve probably been referring to that particular thing as an etho hopper clock for longer than theyve even known etho personally, considering the etho hopper clock predates his joining hermitcraft by at least 1-2 years, and several of the other hermits joining hermitcraft by even more. so of course they still call it that

on a related note, most of them likely had at least heard of etho before meeting him, even if they didnt personally watch him (tho i know some did) since he was an old school minecraft youtuber. like his original season 1 of "lets play minecraft" started when minecraft was so new it hadnt been officially released yet. literally back in minecraft alpha. he was a minecraft youtuber OG

so with those two points taken into consideration it completely makes sense that "etho hopper clock" is something ingrained into the terminology of anyone that does stuff with redstone somewhat regularly. theres no reason it wouldnt be

but when you put it into contrast with like. their actual interactions with etho. it kind of cracks me up???

its like. in my head the vibes are this: imagine building something and being like "okay guys, for this machine we need to use an archimedes screw, which is named of course after its inventor archimedes, a man so genius that to this day he is regarded as one of the most brilliant inventors and mathematicians to ever walk this earth" and then like thirty minutes later you go to a restaurant and you see archimedes, of classic antiquity fame, trying to eat a sandwich but the ingredients keep falling out in increasingly comedic manners. so you of course call him pathetic to his face, and then ask if he wants to try out your new totally-not-a-scam product that you carry on you at all times for opportunities like these. and for some reason he doesnt just say yes, but buys two

the problem with autism is sometimes you want to do something (brave) but you need someone to gently walk you through each step so you know what will happen. and people don’t like doing that

i was gonna have king cards falling out of his sleeve like a goofy lil prank but i couldn’t resist having this outcome instead

ik they’re like sworn enemies and stuff- but i’ve been thinking abt how one day in the faaar future alcor just brings bill cipher back for the shits and giggles (in a good ol the-more-u-fuck-around-the-more-u-find-out fashion) after being bored out of his mind for a good millenia or something (im sure this goes against some alcor lore but it’d just be so funny). alternatively, in the fashion of someone like me, bill comes back after like, centuries after dying and alcor’s got a small tea party set up waiting for him
