Fanfic writers are like crows. If you give them treats (comments) they will bring you shiny things (fanfic)

I never post on tumblr anymore but hermitcraft sparks so much joy

Please keep drawing traffic/hermit hybrids inaccurately because who cares, they look cool

I say this as an animal nerd, I love to implement biologically/anatomically accurate elements into hybrid designs where applicable, but Im not gonna ususally choose to do that over whatever I think looks visually appealing. I have my gripes and peeves with some popular hybrid design headcanons, but ultimately, please keep drawing them however you want to, because you can (and to piss haters off further, for fun)

Don't care if you headcanon Pearl as transfem, draw her with male moth antennae anyway. Don't care if avian Grian logically needs a second set of pectoral muscles, just slap those wings on there wherever you want. Gem's own skin featured antlers and female deer don't even grow them, aside from reindeers, which I'm willing to wager was not what Gem was thinking or cared about. Keep drawing her with huge antlers

I don't know who needs this reminder but these are fantasy hybrids. Our inspirations in drawing them are based in reality but no fucking avian or hooved or dog people exist. A person with huge moth wings isn't realistic to begin with so who cares if you give her some antennae too. If you do you need to get a hobby

oh I just realized every single winner is an Evo player or their soulmate. Oh Man.

Grian & Scar, Pearl & Scott, Martyn (& Cleo). It's all. It's all Evo players and their soulmates. the Watchers wanted to punish the players with these games but the players already know how to bend the rules. they're not new to this and their soulbonds are winning because of that experience

Had a thought: Grian, if we go with his common fan-interpretation as an avian (i.e. a bird-human hybrid of some variety), wouldn’t have an instinctual fear of heights the same way humans do (because humans + heights = danger of death). For a fully-grown avian, there is no danger. They can fly. Even young ones wouldn’t have much of an awareness of any inherent risk, in the way that toddlers have no concept of their own mortality and give adults heart attacks all the time. 

Now imagine Avian Grian in Third Life, his wings bound or made inaccessible in some way to put him on even footing with everyone else. Maybe he doesn’t even remember he has them. Think of how, in a world where death is around every corner, he doesn’t have the same awareness of risk that his compatriots do. Falls are one of the most common causes of injury, and even a sprained ankle could cause some serious issues in a death game. 

Maybe he made Scar scared for him with his unawareness. It’s so natural to Scar to be aware of heights, and Grian is just not. Is just different.

Maybe he got confused the first time he took fall damage, having expected - something else. He doesn’t know what, but something.

Maybe he saw that crevice in the desert that Scar died in and it just didn’t register. 

And maybe, even at the end, at the edge of that cliff, his instincts wouldn’t let him feel afraid. Maybe he tipped over, knowing that his death was coming, but unable to even touch base with that natural fear all living beings share. Unfeeling.

Maybe he felt a bit like a monster for it.
