Hi! First of all I wanted to say I love your art so much thank you for sharing your work with us!

If I may ask, how do you come up with the poses in your art? Do you use refs or just sketch them from imagination? Any tips you could share about it?

Figuring out poses is the hardest part of art for me and I am just in awe of how dynamic and great the poses are in your work!

Thank you again and I hope you have a great day!!

oh boy am I ever happy to talk about this!! :D

first of all thank you so much!! <3 I'm genuinely so happy to hear that aaaa-

So-

In regards to coming up with ideas? I oftentimes just kind of fuck around and find out - a lot of times I just get a momentary brain-spark that gives me a glimpse of an idea if that makes sense? It's mostly just the general vibe, a specific feeling, a facial expression, a rough silhouette and if it intrigues me enough I will try to pursue the idea in-depth!

I normally do try to do the poses by hand myself, but sometimes the image in my head isn't detailed enough and I get hung up on where to place the hands or legs or for some reason or another I just can't get the torso and head to sit right... so I get a little help!

More specifically I use a program to make pose references! :D

It's called DesignDoll and it's free on windows (tho you can't save without the pro service which is meh but it offers perfectly succinct functions as is already so I never bothered with the paid version)! It can be a bit finnicky to control sometimes (the elbows and knees love twisting into random angles whenever hands/feet are moved) but it's really really versatile once you know what you're doing! Ngl making raking references in it can take me up to an hour at times but it's really fun too so it's never been a bother for me haha

Some recent examples:

What actually helps me the most with this process tho is the fact that I can make these poses and choose the angles and everything myself! I find that the process of making the refs actually really helps me refine the concept in my head - a lot better than I would be able to in a drawing anyway! Plus I'm very lazy so I hate redrawing things overly often haha

You can probably see it the best in the first drawing and the karaoke one - I didn't use the references 1:1, I still do change things spontaneously if I find it works better for my drawing that way - so I don't really use it for the proportions so much as just visualizing my idea with more precision that I can then adapt properly into the artwork :D

I highly recommend doing something similar if you often find yourself with only fragments of a pose or no clear idea for one!!! DesignDoll isn't the only program of this kind either so it's worth looking into other alternatives too if you don't have a windows system to run this one on!

(just please do not use generative AI for art references! Always remember that there is no such thing as ethical generative AI! ;w;)

Gemini and Fourth are nothing like Atom and Kongthap. When they're together, it's chaotic. They're always messing around with each other. If I had a friend who's been working with me for a long time, I believe the vibes would be similar.

MY LOVE MIX-UP! THAILAND (2024) BTS & Special Ep

#my love mix up th #my love mix up thailand #mlmuedit #fourth nattawat #gemini norawit #pahn pathitta #chokun puttipong #au kornprom #mlmu bts #uservid #uservix #userjjessi #touseranna #💎💎♊4️⃣#geminifourth #*cajedit #*gif #flashing gif #this was so hard to make actually but i saw these parallels and i had to gif them #making it coherent and flow took a whole lot of cutting and pasting tho lol #ik people are worried about gemfourth being “”“typecasted”“” bc in msp fourth played the energetic character #and gem played the gentler character #but also this is only their third show together?? and ida and aoki could not be more different from gun and tinn lol #and i think maybe people are forgetting both the nuance and the fact that fourth and gem are such phenomenal young actors #bc simplifying gun and tinn to the energetic one and the quiet one is both not true and does an injustice to the depth of #those characters and to gemfourth's success at portraying them (remember gun's grief and tinn's silliness?)#like we praise them for it constantly but forget the work it takes to portray characters so different from themselves #i feel like it happens often in gmmtv shows where actors are chosen for parts bc theyre similar to the characters and this is not that #its clear from all the bts that atom and kongthap are their own flavor and gemfourth are bringing THEIR own flavor to them as well #and personally i cant wait to see it!!!!!

“Pepper, have you ever even read the comic that the powerpunk girls are from?”

No, I have not. But I did obsessively watch this one powerpunk girls amv on YouTube as a child. And they’ve been permanently in the back of my mind since then. So.., you know, I don’t think I rlly need to read the comic! GhGH- I think my heart and soul knows the powerpunk girls well enough.. at this point!

But anyway, yeah. Have some berserk art ghghg (also w 1 blossom)

#powerpuff girls #the powerpuff girls #ppg #powerpunk girls #ppg berserk #ppg blossom #doodles #I drew her a lil more crazed her then I rlly wanted to.. she’s def more the cunning conniving one.#the manipulator. the ‘gaslight gatekeep girlboss’. if u will.#she def can get all excitable sometimes tho!#snd. I think she’d absolutely love teasing blossom and pressing at all her buttons.#getting her all riled up is fun!#but! w most ppl she’d be more cool and collected. I think..#but!!! yeah!!!! she was v fun to draw! I rlly liked drawing the ribbon in her hair!#it required me to think… it was kinda difficult. but still fun! it makes fun shapes.#but yeah. it’s the annual ‘pepper having in-depth thoughts about her ppg as high schoolers au’ time #it’s always there. in the back of my mind. since I was like fucking 9 years old #it will be there till I die I guess ghghgh.

#Doodles #Flowey #UT #Underfell #Just regular Underfell this time! His interactions with Fellplates!Gaster are fun but it was also a great springboard of thinking of Just He #I've never really considered Underfell!Flowey - I love that he's duplicitous and tragic and terrible <3 So a happy Flowey was just kinda #Fine I guess? Kinda missing his depth tho isn't he?#That's what I thought initially anyway hehe ♪ I think he could definitely hold some lies in his belly still ♫#I think no matter what version you end up with - no matter what stimuli you introduce to him - you're going to end up with Flowey™#He's still just a lost little soul with too much Determination and the ability to use it to his own ends - and he's bored. And he's Tired #Especially of getting killed all the time - that whole Kill or Be Killed thing got old Fast - faster than it did in Undertale anyhow #He's still just a fearful little dust-coward in there <3 And when he loses his ability to come back? Oh I think that'd scare him silly #I don't believe for a second that he'd be any more merciful to the player if he didn't think he'd get something from it #Protection - new things to see or feel - maybe he'd even have something of a capacity to be appreciative that'd be nice #And I do think he'd be genuinely helpful! But I think it'd have a Lot of the same undercurrents as what happens to him in the Genocide run #Depends a lot on the player as well - maybe the kinder you are to other monsters the better he'd behave #But would it be out of fear or cockiness of still surviving haha ♪ I just love when he's the worst! He's my favourite when he's the worst!#I think the big question would be Omega Flowey - I mean. Even someone kind-hearted like Asriel became what he did #And Asgore was willing to give himself up to become a True Monster as well - I just :| I don't think he'd fare well lol #Maybe the rules are different in Underfell I dunno but if the rules are the same-#But then again ♪ I also like it when he has the opportunity to be terrible and then doesn't. For whatever reason - selfish - selfless #He's just my favourite :) And it's fun to imagine him acting differently from the same source/different reasons hehe

i just. remembered again that i have a fembaru fic but also the premise is. Very Messed Up hah and also it was written before the canon genderbent au with its official genderbend names for everyone so its also outdated on top of that T^T i had like. Genderqueer subtext going on too. but i also wrote this fic like almost two years ago and havent touched it in forever so im unsure if i should go back to it…. o.o but i would love to finish it one day if only for my own satisfaction hah… i had a very detailed outline for ch 2 (its a twoshot) and several scenes written already anyway!! (and also i would probably update those names, make minor edits, etc etc hmm…)

#just thinking about this wip again………… mmmm….. not super confident in my older ao3 fics but the premise for this one was like. i think i #ended up brainstorming it with a friend or two and then i was like wait holy shit howd this play out. and then i took about two weeks to #write ch1? :o #and then i like. REALLY got into revolutionary girl utena after finishing ch1 so like that def bled into um. the themes.#just. thimking…….. bc ive had so many ideas to explore like. themes regarding gender and misogyny and Choice and destiny and queerness and #all sorts of things….. bc rezero Touches on them and is even Detailed on them sometimes and id Love to go in depth. but im also a bit #nervous to bc 1. writing fic is….. so much work sometimes fr and i am but a lazy writer and 2. the slight anxiety of what if i get flamed #o.o wild to think about…..#like. i have ideas for emilia fics that are. definitely darker maybe a bit controversial but i will go off the walls with writing for the #sake of answering the questions of. can this be done. and is it possible to narratively critique canon and fandom treatment of emilia. that #sort of thing.#not that im the best writer ever akdbdnd but i do like darker fiction sometimes. and i also like being meta about things in fiction. and i #also like writing to get out a tiny bit of salt. etc etc.#i tried to write these kinds of thinngs with my atm sole emilia centric fic that i wrote. uhhh more than a year ago? and i would love to try #again one day bc ive def improved and changed as a writer since then. u know what i mean?? :o #just like. rezero and queerness is very interesting to me.#suffaru post #saving this on the blog bc i talked Too Much about my writing process here HAH #my writing process being: HOW FAR CAN I TAKE THIS IDEA AND HOW OFF THE WALLS CAN IT GET????#in reality tho im really just a massive nerd whos gone down a massive rabbit hole of writing anime fanfic. 😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏#if you actually read all these tags big thank you HAH

i am so apathetic to popular male transformers characters, but i have a simple trick to make me care abt them: i turn them into robot women then i suddenly start seeing their appeal

#grimlock would be so awesome as a butch woman. DO YOU HEAR ME DOES ANYBODY HEAR ME HELLOOOO #also crazy in depth conversation i had abt this made me think abt why i get rlly. apathetic abt popular tf characters #esp when i realize all the popular characters im Whatever abt are all men #but i always have interest in the female ones and also the niche little weird guys #you are looking at rare scrounge fan. rare wheelie fan. and Number 1 Fan of Blurr*#*when hes a dorky weird anxious guy. yknow the ones ppl dont care abt bc hes “annoying” and “ugly”#i dont give as much of a shit abt the handsome cocky racer blurrs #i realize. because tf fandom has a weird thing abt only caring abt how attractive a character is #and tends to gravitate to male characters for that aspect #like lets be real here. there is such a high priority in this fandom for what characters look best in porn. im right.#and ppl love the yaoi robots for that.#and i. am on the aroace spectrum. and do not find as much attraction in men (though i do sometimes. just less so)#so this doesnt appeal to me #so i find myself so incredibly apathetic or a hater to a lot of the tf fandom bc of this #in turn i do not care so much for the popular characters or straight up see them as red flags (admittedly im a bit irrational for this tho)#a lot of times i get a feeling like “ok whats so special abt this guy. its just another conventionally attractive man" it feels boring to m #so that might explain why i become more interested in these characters if they arent men #this is all being said from a nonbinary person that leans more transmasc btw. just noting that.#rando thoughtz

Opinions on Dream? :^

SO many feelings about him omgg rant under cut please forgive me

okay so i don't really talk or draw him much cause honestly,,,most of the times i just think he's a bit....boring? or more accurately plain? not in a mean way either but just in a 'fades into the background' type of way like don't get me wrong!! he's a really nice friend to his peers, his feelings about his powers and aura making his relationships harder to navigate and trust along with his whole conflict with nightmare and morality about what's good and bad IS very cool!! and i love it whenever they write him to be complex and not on this black and white mentality or when he's just straight up following along his friends with no free will or with a dubious purpose without ever addressing his issues or feelings! it's just unsatisfying to me :')

or when they're making him the 'naive' and oblivious, (sometimes childish?) character being marked as the obstacle and villain along with the other star sanses from the fic's pov, always talking about doing good things while fighting his brother and not hearing him out about the balance, (and for weak reasons most of the time. like it's been so long and you STILL haven't sat down with him when he's, generally, basically begged you to just have a talk? guys please :'( ) or when they go for the victim sad dream always missing the old nightmare, where corrupted nightmare is the incarnation of evil, with no sympathy or emotion except anger and sadistic glee, killing and hurting everyone and dream's just trying to protect the multiverse and dream's always been in the right. such extremes!!!

LIKE!! i hope i'm not the only one that thinks a 500+ year old should have had enough time to idk. learn things? about people and manipulation and deceit? after knowing what the villagers did to night? about the bad things in the world and how there's a lot of grey areas in life and that he maybe reflected on his past enough to process and ask himself if there should to be a convo to settle his differences with nightmare (and you can make nightmare the stubborn one too! or have them BOTH be petty and imperfect and have some things wrong and some right at the same time like why do i always see the good guy vs bad guy cliché with these two when they're the perfect example of why positivity doesn't have meaning without the negativity!! as long as there's a satisfying evolution or growth that doesn't leave me empty i'm good yknow?)

plus i believe dream really isn't as dumb as people view him. i do get some of you saying he probably can't read or write since that's actually a pretty interesting idea to explore! but in general please let him have emotions other than pure sunshiny happiness or endless sadness like he's gotta have more depth than that! let him make mistakes, have flaws that don't just make him the bad guy that's always in the wrong by default, and be angry or suspicious or jealous or bitter or battling his mental health problems/depression or malicious or smart or witty or mischievous and silly or sarcastic or ANYTHING dude i just want him to be put into different scenarios where he can be serious or lighthearted like it doesn't even have to be long or perfect but make him feel real.

it could definitely be that i don't read or see much art about dream or really look for it hard enough but also i just. i feel bad for even saying this fr and i wanna be honest about why i don't enjoy most stories about him cause he always gets the worst treatment along with ink!!! especially ink omg the poor guy has it the worst i think like wow do they mess him up :'(

always one dimensional in non shippy fics, or too plain or easily replaceable by other, more entertaining people in the significant other's life in most of his ships like man. i have read fics out there that made me genuinely FEEL and root for him and love his character so much it restored all hope for me!!! but i can only name one on top of my head and the others? it's been so long i don't even remember their names i just legit feel terrible cause i love him still and i can't find many headcanons that fit my interpretation of him yknow?

not to say people who write him very happy, mislead or sad are ruining him like that's silly- if i see something i don't like i just. move on bro i wouldn't force people to feel or think the same way i do about him cause anyone can have whatever headcanons they want!!! just talking about what i personally look for in him and why i can't exactly find it since most of the stuff out there just isn't my cup of tea :')

hopefully i didn't set anyone off with this rambling opinionated essay i just pulled hhh xD i know i know he's a popular character and i know a lot of people like dream so *sobs* please please recommend me artists and fics about him that you think is good it's been so looong since i've read or seen anything new that makes me attached to this little guy aughg<33333

#ask #rambling #delete later?#probably xD i just wanna love him SO much but sometimes he's just *sigh*...forgettable #i tried to explain myself but also it's like 4 am and i skimmed through the proofreading so don't take this too seriously HHH #like really even when i do read good fics about him he's not on the forefront of my mind and it's painful to me :'(#i used to see him as my third fav but now? ever since i've read and seen characters who get heavier more in depth plots?#i can't say it with as much confidence :') and dream lovers out there i am not bashing your choice or even your headcanons #to each their own but i really wanna hear someone be passionate about him in my feed or askbox like TELL me about him #i've seen ink rants out there that are FIRE like so true!!! but where's the dream defense team???#maybe it's just me tho :') btw i still like cream but not the same way as before if i'm being real #it feels the same...all of it and it makes me wanna bite something ARGHGG #i know i know i ship some stuff that's basic too hhh but dream and cross are always written the same and dream is too innocent #and nightmare is too weird in some of these fics like if MY brother ever tried to literally attack my hypothetical partner????#i wouldn't give him the :'((( sad face and weakly tell him to 'please stop...you're hurting him'' like NO girl they're TWINS #they're the same age i would tell him to BACK off and not insert himself in my love life after years of ignoring and fighting LIKE #especially since most of the time cross is actually good to dream and all- so he doesn't have a good reason to disrupt his bro's dates #UGH i just have so many opinions but basically i would love him a lot lot more than i do now if they also let him be more flexible #and shake things up like with shattered and stuff! gimme alternate versions of him even if it's too ooc like we do for all the other sanses #jaa i am SO sorry you had to read all that dude thank you so much for passing by :'D

like okay the yellowjackets writers clearly have no clear understanding of how race fits into their story but that’s fine I guess… I can accept that not everything can be a postcolonial masterpiece…… even if this is like the perfect set up for it but whatever ITS FINE

#Yellowjackets #like it’s SUCHHHHHH a good set up to talk about colonization with all the cannibalism #also can they PLEASE have Taissa make normal decisions #also can she pPLEASE get some of the depth that Shauna and Callie are getting #and like I really like what they are doing with Shauna and Callie!#taissa also has a child tho! and a wife!! that’s she does love even if she was like too traumatized to be fully present for her adult life #my post

More Miscellaneous MCD&D idea stuff >:)

I have another post drafting about human society and such right now but I have so many random ideas and I need to get them down right this instant

also some details may be lost on some of y’all, explanations of the magic system and such can be found earlier on in my blog >:D

- hearts of the sea are lapis lazuli crystals that have ended up underwater at a very specific depth and have had sea creatures die in their immediate vicinity. due to the phenomenon of a creature's refined mana dispersing after death, some of the mana goes into the lapis rather than falling down to the void.

- at very specific pressures underwater, the refined mana naturally sets itself into an alternate enchanting matrix than the one typically used for enchanting. this matrix is many times more powerful than the normal one, but takes literal years of constant maintenance to achieve, which is easily done underwater where the pressure is tireless. it can be done outside of very specific, high-pressure environments, but it’s the work of tireless artisans that seek to create a masterpiece.

- so now the enchanting matrix is set, and an entire ocean full of primordial mana is surrounding it, so the obvious happens and the lapis lazuli crystal becomes inundated with the ocean's primordial mana. now it is a Heart of the Sea

- the Heart naturally causes objects with high amounts of oceanic primordial mana (like shells, coral chunks, floating sea flora, etc.) to gravitate towards it.

- surrounding the Heart with a specific arrangement of nautilus shells causes them to orbit around it, and nautilus shells specifically are very conductive to oceanic primordial mana, allowing for the Heart’s stored primordial mana to be dispersed out rather than simply stored ad infinitum.

- then, a specific arrangement of prismarine must be placed around the heart to temporarily store the mana. without the prismarine, the conduit would simply emit a constant trickle of mana that has little to no effect. with the prismarine around it in the necessary arrangement, the mana is stored for a bit, then released out in bursts. these bursts allow creatures within a small radius to be able to swim faster, become amphibious, and allow for greater range of movement underwater than before.

- also i decided there are three gods! each god ‘created’ each dimension, but not really created. each dimension is basically a physical manifestation of their psyche. a period of being depressed would be represented as an ice age, an argument with their loved ones would be represented with a terrible, dimension-wide cataclysm, etc etc.

- take a wild guess as to who the three gods are. cmon guess. yeah you got me im an unoriginal bitch. its steve and alex and herobrine. i know i know i deserve a nobel prize for inventiveness <33 anyways alex’s mind is the Nether, steve’s is the Overworld, and herobrine’s is the End.

- actually when they dream, they manifest in their respective dimension as their avatars, explaining why the people of the world know of the existence of the gods. time works differently between where they live their lives and where my world is, so dreams happen centuries apart. The last recorded dream was a literal millenia ago, so we’re long overdue for another one at the time of the adventure (stephen is probably just doing an all-nighter to make alex something he think’s she’ll like). Also, Herobrine is the only lucid dreamer among the three.

- While reality bends to their will while they dream, the one thing they can’t do while dreaming is freely traverse between dimensions (eachothers’ psyches). They must do so like every other ‘mortal’ does, through portals. This allows them to explore eachothers’ mindscapes, though Herobrine is the only one aware he’s doing it.

- Herobrine is the only one with an always consistent avatar. Steve (Stephen) usually appears as the tanned bearded himbo we all know and love, and Alex usually appears as the cool redheaded girlboss we all know and love, but they can just as easily appear as a little fox or a sentient rock or a massive clump of floating sentient blades.

- magma slime is slime from a slime monster that lives in the lava oceans of the Nether. magma slime is similar to alkali metals in the fact that its highly reactive! in fact, magma slime constantly emits a small amount of heat

- crying obsidian is obsidian that has been treated with magma slime. magma slime emits the perfect amount of heat to react with the obsidian, but not enough to make a fully-fledged portal, so crying obsidian is created. while portals take a creature’s soul and shunt it through the void and into another world, crying obsidian can only attract and temporarily hold a soul (though not if it’s actively trying to escape)

- amethyst is an amazing magical insulator, preventing both primordial mana and refined mana from passing through it at all. tinted glass is often used by magic-users of all varieties, and is very useful in isolating mana and mana sources.

- soul jars are made with tinted glass and crying obsidian, and are used to store souls that are to be used in certain spells. theyre most commonly found among illager spellcasters, though they definitely aren’t exclusive to them, and many unsavory casters of other races use souls as well.

- glowstone is incredibly energy dense, and can be alchemically treated with fossil oil to be made into glowcoke, which is often used as a very efficient burnable fuel. And on top of being a very good combustion fuel when treated properly, it emits a constant and very potent amount of primordial mana. Glowstone is unique in the nether in that it contains the least amount of nether-specific primordial mana. Glowstone has aspects of light, warmth, energy, safety, etc.

- you canonically cannot sleep in dimensions that you are not native to in my world, at least not without assistance. in order to sleep in another dimension, you need to be holding or in the vicinity of a respawn anchor.

- normally, when you sleep your soul leaves your body on a tether, and explores in attempt to gather a variety of primordial mana while you sleep. dreams are what your soul senses as it travels.

- if you attempt to sleep in a dimension you’re not native to, your soul goes out and intakes a massive amount of mana that it is not acclimatized to in the slightest. this normally isnt a problem while you’re awake, as your soul intakes ambient primordial mana slowly enough that its infamiliarity with the mana doesnt affect it. while you are asleep in an unfamiliar dimension, however, your soul gathers so much unfamiliar mana that it attempts to rush back to your body to heal and recover. in effect, this means sleep is impossible except for small hour-long naps.

- if a creature that is non-native to a dimension repeatedly attempts to sleep inside of it, over the course of years their soul will eventually acclimatize to the mana. however, it will de-acclimatize to its previous native dimension. (no cheating for u players and making 300 yr old characters that are native to every dimension. eat my ass nerd.)

- respawn anchors allow creatures to sleep in a dimension that they aren’t native to. they’re made with a shell of crying obsidian that holds a small amount of glowstone, and are usually about the size of one of those huge strawberries that you sometimes find in strawberry baskets. they’re often hooked to travelers’ belts or worn as neck jewelry.

- respawn anchors function by having the crying obsidian draw in and hold the soul in place, while it is slowly drip-fed primordial mana from the glowstone (which it can handle). when the soul is done feeding on primordial mana, it easily leaves the influence of the crying obsidian and goes back to its body.

- respawn anchors like this work for nether and overworld natives, but for End natives you have to use the dust of an eye of ender instead of glowstone, because end natives handle that much better than they do glowstone.

- the ender portal was a dual effort by both overworldian and enderian artificers in an attempt to make a permanent way station between the end and overworld. this is because before it was made, the only way to get to and from the end was to find and convince an enderman with a VERY developed soul to transport you there, because only endemen with very developed souls full of experience can traverse between dimensions at will And good luck finding an enderman in those times, much less convincing one or even communicating with one. handsign was a much less common language at the time since endemen we're such a rare sight before the portal was made. it was only really used in small pockets where people that were deaf or hearing-impaired congregated

- Before the portals enderman were widely considered to be extremely strong and terrifying creatures with little ability to communicate that eviscerated you if you made eye contact. that was only because of limited communication methods and the fact that the only endemen that people met were basically the pinnacle of their kind, with strength, speed, and magical prowess to match.

- The end portal is comprised of two bits, the fluid and the frame. Both work in tandem to allow for a creature to traverse between the (dimensionally) distant realms of the Overworld and the End.

- The fluid of the portal is a massive pool full of a potion, made with gunpowder so it works on skin contact. the potion manually loosens your soul from your body, allowing for the frame to do its job.

- The frame of the portal is basically a massive enchanted object. unlike most other enchanted objects, it’s enchanted with the previously mentioned, self-sufficient, and highly intensive/difficult to make kind of enchantment. the one that takes years of constant maintenance to get functioning. the frame is studded with lapis crystals, and enchanted with highly complex enchantments that forcefully shunt your soul through the void and straight to the corresponding portal in the End.

- The frame of the portal needs a constant feed of primordial mana to function, hence the 12 eyes of ender required for the portal to catalyze. ender pearls naturally contain massive amounts of mana from the end, so to be made into eyes they must be collected and heated until they form a pitch black core in their center (causing it to look like a magic eyeball, hence its name). The heating physically changes the pearl to condense the mana further, while also allowing the mana to be trickled out as it condenses, then fed into the portal frame enchantment

- As detailed in another post, one must drown themselves in the portal liquid to traverse between the End and Overworld. if you were to open your eyes while submerged and drowning, you’d see an infinite starscape with a red speck in the distance. in front of you would be a purple speck speeding towards you, while a green speck fades behind you (or vice versa if travel is from the end to the overworld). Researchers propose that this is you sensing things from your soul as it is forced to another dimension.

That’s all for now! Gotta work on fleshing out human society, thinking out an explanation on how some miscellaneous items and phenomena work, working on the underwater people i came up with the other day, and also writing down the actual racial traits of copper golems and snow golems

(copper and snow golems very intelligent and i decided they should be playable cuz i know a few of my players would love to be what is functionally a funny magic robot <3)

#minecraft lore #mineblr #minecraft headcanon #headcanons #i came up with almost all of this in a massive hit of inspiration that lasted yesterday & today #and i just felt the strong need to put this down on my blog before it got lost in the depths of the discord chat logs.#shoutout to my best friend for helping give me all that inspiration #hes so cool #i have so many ideas in this little brain of mine but idk how to say them #yknow?#yeah #next post SHOULD be human society stuff. i hope. probably.#love yall (by yall i mean the like 5 people that actually followed me <3)#not really tho because parasocial relationships are bad #still yall are pretty cool i think for listening to my bullshit #i'll stop ranting now #craftmine
