If there's one thing that warms my heart a bit, it's how much players have always loved Endermen.

I've been playing minecraft since before wolves were added. I remember Endermen coming out, and just how much me and my siblings loved them. We were hardly alone. They're one of the most popular mobs in the game.

Because here's the thing about Endermen, they were the very first mob added to minecraft that felt ALIVE. They came before villagers, back when piglins were pigmen and only existed in zombie form, back before there was anything even remotely human that you could vibe with. Even after Villagers, even after Piglins, there's still something special to Endermen that captures players' hearts.

I think it comes down to the fact that Endermen are functionally useless to the player if you don't murder them. They can't trade or barter with you. They have no dungeons or fortresses for you to take from. They can even be quite annoying depending on what blocks you make builds out of. Endermen have little regard for the concept of personal property.

But, despite all of that, an Enderman isn't hostile to you by default. You never have to fight them. All they ask is that you look away. As long as you do that, then they're more than content to exist in your presence. Going about their day, doing their own thing, picking up blocks and moving them around.

And people love them. They love these alien creatures who have nothing to offer but their existence. I know so many players who go out of their way to not bother Endermen when they encounter one. Players who find one and keep it in a boat just to have some company. Endermen are adored by players just for being there.

Why? Because we were alone. We were alone in a world, and then we weren't. Endermen are strange and useless and dangerous but they are alive. They made us less alone. They were willing to exist with us peacefully when nothing else was. And that was more than enough to prove their value. They were friends to us, because they were there.

Even after we got villagers, even after we got piglins, maybe even after we found other players and servers and worlds upon worlds of other people, we never forgot our first friends. The ones who we didn't understand, who would attack us for a glance, but who were there when nobody else was. They were there, they existed, and we didn't need anything else to love them.

Hello. Sorry for the... Year long silence, my muse is a very fickle thing. I’ll try getting bit more active, but I think I gotta drop the quality juuuust a tad to push these things out faster.

I’m also musing about introducing another OC to the blog, just to keep things more interesting. I like Tempest, but I fear I made him little too much of a blank slate and I noticed myself losing interest rather fast (and basically almost all the asks were about him liking rain, so yeah, I didn’t give people much to work with.)

So yes, I will probably revamp Tempest a bit (not a lot) and maybe add another OC here. Unsure what kind, but I will probably not do another purely enderman one. 

Thank you for sticking with me for all this time!

Dude, as a fellow enderman, is it... like... worth it to get hurt by rain? What makes you really like rain to this extent anyway? Are you... abnormal?

[[ Hey hey, if you’re a Minecraft ask blog, and you’re comfortable with your character being in an animation, reblog this post >:) ]]

Hello! Sorry for the inactivity everyone, I’ve hit a small rough patch and my motivation to draw has all but plummeted. I’m also starting at a new job, so that will now take my time as well, but I’m excited for it!

Not quitting, in case someone was wondering that, I have bunch of asks in my inbox that I am determined to get done, just can’t say when.

Thank you for your patience and have a lovely autumn ♥

Tempest is going about his usual day, until he comes across a certain child, almost tripping on her the way she blends into the crisp dark morning. "What the- A child?" Tempest crouches down to inspect her matted skinny look, her ribs showing and her fur scraggly. "You alright?" he asks in concern. Who would leave a child here like this? "I'll be right back", he says and goes to look for anything to eat, soon coming back with few apples. @asktempestenderman

They’d barely even react to almost being stepped on. Just a silent stare full of uncertainty and confusion. They were barely aware of what was going on around them. They had no idea where they were at or what had happened a little while ago. 

Even when the stranger offered food they had no reaction. Best not to get too close, who knows how they’d react.

[An Enderman who likes rain... fascinating! I have SO many questions on that, if you don't mind, but first of all... have you tried having a transparent umbrella? It doesn't hurt you and you get to see the raindrops. That or, ah, maybe a waterproof potion, but I wonder if potions still hurt to be applied...] -@mc-survivalist-steven - /Tracation Event/

Tempest: You don't happen to have an extra bag? I have these two diamonds but I don't have anywhere to put them.

Enjoy the chaos from yesterday

[asktempestenderman]

Go say hello to her!!

You see a figure stand up in the distance, it stretches and lets out a large yawn. She seems to be an unusual enderman, her tail brightly coloured and somewhat glowing in the sunlight. Completely standing out in comparison to the beach.

In her hand seems to be a ripped pirate flag, she’s gripping it a little tight.

Do you approach her?

[ask box is now open!]

HI, just a notice but since my previous ask, I wanna make smth clear after a few messages I’ve gotten:

My OC’s bodies and how I draw them are NOT invitation for flirting, creepy or otherwise unsolicited sexual comments (unless its agreed upon for canon reasons). ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE UNDER 18, I’m like, in my 20′s–that’s really weird to get that from teens :”3

So please, outside of complimenting my anatomy, don’t make comments like that or I may block you, thank you.

[asktempestenderman]

hello Tempest, I'm Kiroru-Chan * stands in the rain and the blue markings on the body shine *

here is a diamond block for you

* place the diamond block in front of you on the grass and stand under a tree and the markings stop shining *

Tempest: [chuckles] I admit I am a little envious. But thank you for the pretty rock. It makes the figurative sting little better.

[asktempestenderman]

Halloooo, just want to say, you are absolutely stunning! Your colours and patterns on you are very beautiful, Tempest !! :> Also, rain is so rad. I love rain too, it’s very calming just there in the background and can also be very beautiful. (Btw, very underrated enderman ask blog ^^ gave you a follow :D )

[[Thank you for the follow♥!]]

[asktempestenderman]

"Hi Tempest, welcome to the fandom!!! I heard that you like rain - does it burn you still? It burns me, but I do like the aesthetic of it, admittedly!"

Tempest: Very lovely to meet you Vihm. Nice to meet another enderman who appreciates rain despite the danger it can bring.
