#i think so much about minecraft lore

[rat-rosemary]

In my head minecraft players have a separate language from any other creature in the world and it has:

- no word for any sexuality, because all romantic relationships as viewed as the same and no one though to categorize them

- a specific word for "absent parent"

romeo is a dick and i can imagine him messing with the prison group when he gets bored of jesse's yammering or something

Everyday, I think about the fact that God or The Admins paired the most competent, hardcore player with the wettest cat of a player man to raise a son together

While I'm thinking about Matt's cubito and being able to watch parts of his subathon this weekend:

Q!Bagi refers to the thing that follows her around as the god of the obscure since all/most of the cc's irl partners are represented as gods in the qsmp (most notably Kristen and Mine) but Matt's persona is a demon and I would find that so much more interesting.

People have mentioned the fact that she seems to have some affinity for attracting demons - dating q!Tina, bbfs with q!BBH, friends and co-mothers with q!Mouse, having q!Scottonauta on her purgatory team - so I'd find it very interesting if her 'deity' was also a demon.

Like at this point it's mentioned so much by fans that they have to do something with it and just canonising that the biggest voice in q!Bagi's head is a demon would add more layers of questions (and possibly answers) of why every demon likes her. And it's so fun to theorise about demons.

minecraft thoughts:

-villagers are descendants of elephants

-piglins won’t attack if you wear gold bcuz it’s a sign of peace. as an outsider, you’re a visitor, and if you steal, you’re gonna get attacked. dunno my full idea, but they hate the overworld due to sickness and the ancient builders. maybe some sort of experiment to deal with the zombie problem. 

-you, the player, are a type of golem. a last resort for the ancient builders. one day, you awaken. all other humans are long gone, but you’re the backup plan. and you don’t (usually) have to worry about the permanence of death. you just do whatever you feel like with no memory of who made you.

-the reason why redstone exists in the ancient city is because it was an attempt to activate the portal. whatever opened it is lost to time and to the skulk that came from the other side. also skulk is fungus.

-fungus runs the game, man. everything is fungus. fungus is good.

hello miners and crafters i have questions about the deep dark

see i can admit i don’t know everything

(if anyone has theories or more questions send em i have ancient city brainrot again and this is all i can think about)

1. why does the sculk inflict darkness

the doylist answer here is definitely ‘game design’, but in terms of the sculk’s biology in-universe—it doesn’t have eyes. it would have no reason to understand the concept of vision, so how does it block ours?

2. why don’t catalysts make more catalysts

when catalysts spread sculk they make sensors and shriekers, albeit rarely, but they never spawn new catalysts. the only way to create a new catalyst is to kill a warden, which means past a certain point the sculk depends on players to spread itself. again, might just be a gameplay decision, but if this is an intentional part of sculk lore it then raises the question of how the hell all the naturally generated catalysts got where they are

3. why would the pillagers bother to build with wool

now ok for context afaik no official source has confirmed for sure that the pillagers were ever there, but they obviously were, and for a while. because some parts of the cities will contain structures like these:

which are designed in the distinct style of pillager outposts and don’t match the rest of the city at all. there’s also the piles of cyan, blue, and light blue wool referred to as ‘camps’ that match the wool piles found in woodland mansions, and the implication here is that the pillagers used this wool to reconstruct parts of the wool walkways.

the problem is, the pillagers’ apparent reconstruction efforts consistently prioritize practicality over the original builders’ stylistic choices, and they would have no practical reason to use wool if only vibrations made by players can activate shriekers. so why bother? why not use wood planks or cobblestone like they do everywhere else?

Okay so I am OBSESSED with Minecraft lore and the main thing missing is: what prompted the ancient builders to first visit the nether? I know it can't be the zombie virus, but I can't think of what else could have possibly prompted the visit to the nether except for completely on accident, a bit of lava hardening into a portal and igniting itself from the heat but something just seems off about that. Something doesn't add up here and since I don't exactly know how to get matpat to do a video on it I turn to you. Do you have thoughts on what it could be, preferably with evidence to support it?

Interesting! I've never thought it through completely before, but I've got three possible theories...

First of all: it's a bit of a cop-out but I don't think you can underestimate "because it's there" as a reason for human exploration. Why did people explore the Antarctic? Why do we explore the deep sea? Space? Sure, there is business and politics and coincidence wrapped up in each of those things as well as just pure curiosity, but the same can be said for the Nether. Once it was discovered, quartz and gold would be draws for exploration, and ancient debris seems to imply the remains of some ancient mining operation to me. I think that's more than enough excuses to push deeper into the unknown.

Secondly, the zombie virus is an interesting thought. I want to say the ancients went to the Nether to flee the virus, except I think it's actually much more likely that they went to the End for that reason. The existence of "strongholds" as bunkers underground filled with libraries of attempted preserved knowledge does have a very apocalypse escape plan feel to it. And, there are no zombie mobs in the End, but there are in the Nether, so even if a seperate faction of people chose that route it apparently didn't work very well. That still leaves the question mark of why the virus didn't transmit fully to every Piglin, but it may be that gold is a way of warding it off and they survived by discovering that. Still, I think we can put this on hold as Theory #2 for now.

Theory #3 is a bit inventive, but by the evidence and the way progress in civilizations tends to work it might just be the most likely. What if the early builders never had to go to the Nether at all? What if they started there? The Nether fortresses are not Piglin built structures, the style is different and they are inhabited by different mobs. In such a harsh environment it makes sense to build high and protective, with blazes as potentially a domesticated guard animal. It seems like the residents were carving out a functional life, but the Wither skeletons suggest that things got sharply less hospitable as some kind of undead curse or power swept through the dimension (possibly the Wither). Living in the burning heat with so many hazards to contend with, the people would already be very motivated to drive towards a possible way of getting out if there was an "out" to get to. They might have observed Enderman holding grass blocks and hypothesized that there must be another place out there to get them from, and that teleportation was the way to get there. Once the Wither came they would be even more motivated to speed up the process and probably diverted all their resources into that last hope. They would have needed water to create the obsidian, but the obsidian in Nether chests as well as the presence of trees and foliage in the Warped and Crimson forests suggests that the Nether had water at some point, and maybe even still has groundwater or significant condensation. Given all of those factors, I think a group of people could believably invent a portal and escape through it to the Overworld.

The Wither skeletons were most likely people who either didn't trust the new portals or stayed behind to buy time for the others to go through them. Maybe they broke the portals on the Nether side and the ruined portals in the Overworld are the only evidence left, or the calamity the Wither brought did that for them. I would like this theory a bit more if there was any evidence of portals in the actual Nether, but hey, I work with what Mojang gives me. This has been game...uuuh, Shade Theory, remember to like and subscribe :)

[honeyedapples]

i’ve recently been looking at the minecraft wiki and like. the original concepts for the warden are horrifying. i always thought that what we have now is kinda cute but like, the concepts of the hollowed and the stalker??? nightmare inducing! mojang really just wanted to turn this cutesy block game into a horror game with the deep dark. instead of making us afraid of cave noises, they wanted to make US the cave noises

[l0stw00d]

I'm currently balancing my cotl hyperfixation with a burgeoning satisfactory hyperfixation and a rapidly approaching minecraft hyperfixation and an unrelated omegaverse hyperfixation also. I'm also ignoring the project I was hyperfixated on a couple weeks ago but I'm my defence that's because I'm flared up and working on it rn is a Bad Idea.

All that is to say I have many many many thoughts and none of them are coherent enough to Do anything with and my body is continuing to betray me. So maybe I'll just play more satisfactory.

theme park history? o: /gen

yeah!! im super interested in the backstory of every theme park ^__^ if i had to pick some faves, i know a lot about the history of cedar fair parks / their rides and disney parks / their rides!

i think the best way to encompass it is like . the ride history of every theme park... i know a lot about all that ! theme parks that have become obsolete ( or rides in modern day theme parks that no longer exist ) are especially interesting to me ! the things that make rides a quote unquote "failure" are spectacular... so much thought goes into a coaster or flat ride... for that to fail is incredible ! even successful coasters / flat rides / parks have their fair share of controversy...!

im glad defunctland has brought this to the spotlight, but i would also recommend channels like el toro ryan, theme park crazy, and coaster college! theyre ones i actively watch wrt theme parks, theme park crazy especially is a channel i really recommend :] its fascinating stuff!

Modern!Davos Blackwood headcannons (pt. 1?)

— SFW —

I’ll hit it from the back, just so you don’t get attached — i like the way you kiss me // artemas

I can definitely see myself making more of these. Adding to the modern! Davos lore. Not proofread. LMK if y’all have other ideas or headcannons too!

Benjicot Davos Blackwood. People call him Davos. Only close friends call him Ben. Only you can call him Benji. Although, he goes by his middle name usually. Now, bloody Ben? That’s a story to be told later on how he got... (There is no story. It’s just people saying “Shit.. there’s bloody Ben..” or something like that. There’s no violence to the name, only pure exasperation when people see him)

This is the boy you need to hide away in your closet or under your bed when your parents come checking in on you randomly. You could’ve been working on homework, or just hanging around. And somehow this “annoying” guy appeared outside your bedroom window—and you just had to let him in. “C’mooon, let me in sweetheart.. you think I can’t climb up there? Stand back, I’ll show you.”

He is the type of person to rant about how the education system is rigged, set up to fail students, or rant about it in general and as a whole. Anyway he’s got a 4.0, and makes it onto the dean’s list every semester in college. However he is always late to class—complete with either a Monster or Red Bull drink in tow.

He invites you over to his place like a gentleman. Ignore his “annoying fuckass” roommate.. (it’s Aeron.) He does the whole (“it’s a little messy :3”) as he leads you down the hall of their apartment. “Hello MTV, welcome to my crib.”

He cooks at that desk, game-wise. Faceit level is between 5-6. CSGO rank is Master Guardian II (He does tell you he once hit Global Elite. But he stopped the grind to focus on school, not because he’s washed or anything—maybe you could be his Valorant duo? Or be his support in League; he’ll have you know he makes a mean ADC.. do you do overnight discord calls?—)

If you play more casual games (Minecraft, stardew, etc) he will play with you, HOWEVER, he will either ruin the aesthetic of the minecraft world via automated farms OR speedrun the mines in stardew (he passes out so much it starts to affect the money you’re trying to save for farm upgrades). Every time he goes fishing in either game he puts on a country accent and makes “gone fishing, getting away from my bitch wife” jokes. “I’ve uh- carved out an area for the iron farm. Nothin’ too big—just something to get started.” (Shows you an utterly decimated and leveled biome)

Davos Blackwood fun fact no. 43; he does rallying (rally racing). He went to a rally school for fun over the summer. Ignore the price tag; yes he saved up for that! no it’s not dangerous! Regular driving wise he does donuts in empty parking lots, and takes corners way too fast. He is the type to street race a random ass pickup truck or some other car that pulls up beside him. It is thrilling, and he knows you enjoy it too despite your protests and how you grip the handle above the seat. “No it’s fine.. pfft—don’t worry don’t— I’ll smoke him. Just watch.”

Speaking of cars. Do not complain about his car. This is his baby. His one and only. It’s an old car; it’s so old it’s bordering not being considered street safe anymore. Ignore the anime girl stickers with their tits and ass out, that was there already he didn’t do that. “It’s safe don’t worry—I’m getting the bumper and everything fixed like Monday I swear.. no I did not hit anything why would you say that-“

He’s oddly in-tune with his emotions and emotions of others despite appearances. He’ll KNOW if something’s bothering you. Maybe you’re just a little too quiet, you laugh at a joke a little too late or even if it sounds unenthusiastic. Whatever it is, Davos is on the case. A hug, some pep talk, he’ll let you punch his palms to get any anger out. He’s your ride or die, of course he’d do anything for you. And maybe if it’s a person who upset you he might pay them a visit.. “Who was it this time? Oh—that bitch? Ugh. I’m sorry about that… I have a gun just saying—“

Needs your hand in his. Or some part of you touching him. Whatever works. If he does not get a modicum of affection in 5 minute intervals he shrivels up like a plant—no he’s not being dramatic. Is the type to whine loudly about it regardless of where you’re at. On occasion he lets out bloodcurdling screams as a joke, lamenting about being denied tender love from you. You think it’s funny in private, you do not think it’s funny in public. Which is why he always does it in public. “Gimme your hand. Wha? What do you mean ‘it’s too hot out’? I wanna.. I wanna hold your hand… I don’t care if you’re sweaty—LET ME HOLD YOUR HAND”

I do believe his brain would be.. a little rotted. He sends you tiktoks, niche memes, shitposts. He will watch twitch streams or league/csgo content creators on YouTube. His vocab is normal, but does consist of slang from the gaming community. This can be good and funny, or sometimes bad if he uses it during serious moments. However he’s at least a normal human being and knows when to talk ‘normally’. He says joever unironically

Shadow boxes you. No matter what’s happening or where. You could be looking at something in a store and you just see slow, dramatic punches going toward you. He makes the whooshing sound too. This is how you know he’s bored. He’s also the type to tackle you to the bed. Not in a sensual or cutesy way but in like a WWE way that initiates a caged fighting match between you two.

Regardless of your mastery level of skateboarding he will hold your hands and pull you around on his board. Late at night when the parks or lots are empty, you both will be there. And he’ll be a smiling goof as he gently steers you around on the board. He usually says fuck helmets (his one big flaw), but carries one around just for you. His safety be damned. Yours? No question about it, you’re wearing all the gear required.

Smoker. Red flag. Marlboros, sometimes he uses zyns. It’s bad. Yes he knows he’s going to get lung cancer and succumb to nicotine. But he just can’t help it—it helps him relax. It’s why there’s a plethora of gum and also a cologne bottle in his car. Does it help? That’s to be determined. Does not smoke near you however if you don’t like that, he’s not that bad of an asshole.
