My GK999 art has been getting some attention recently which is wild! but cool! And it got me thinking about these books again oh no!!
Anyway I wanted to write out some things about the monster court that I want to draw at some point but mostly haven't drawn yet.
First off, very important, I changed all of their designs quite a bit (in addition to adding my own general mob headcanons). For many of them I took inspiration from the classic mutant mobs mod, so I'd look that up for some reference. This was done mostly because I wanted to make them look more imposing, but also because they're all canonically a bunch of their kind fused together, and I wanted to make that more obvious. Most of them have extra limbs and are much larger than the rest of their respective species, twice regular size at the smallest.
Okay Erebus and Feyd are supposed to look exactly the same buttttt I thought I would just not do that. :) Erebus is like one hundred years old and that age shows quite a bit -- his skin isn't as tight or saturated as it used to be, and it's pockmarked with scars from fights and rain. In addition, he tends to walk using his arms to support himself, which is actually pretty normal for enderman when they get up in years.
Malacoda's crown is literally embedded in his gross squishy flesh jelly head. It has no deep reason I just thought it would be a cool visual.
The first rulers Herobrine made have some... design flaws. This includes Vo-Lan and Oxus, and possibly Shaikulud. Nothing is finalized, but they're asymmetrical with some limbs where they shouldn't be.
Erebus is layered in jewels, precious metals, and other treasures that he's collected over his century of life. It is not at all hyperbole to say that his greed, vanity, and age are weighing on him.
Erebus is slightly batty, and by that I mean very batty. He still has his cunning, but the calm and collected behavior we see in Feyd is long gone when GK meets Erebus for the first time. Maintaining an army and clinging to a place of leadership while waiting to fulfill the one purpose in your life for over a hundred years will do that to you apparently.
Sorry I feel like I talk about Erebus being old a lot. I just find it a fascinating aspect of his character and a great way to contrast him with Feyd. You'll have to bear with me here.
Also Erebus is my fave and always has been and always will be <3
Okay final note, two relationships that are not canon even a little bit but are very important to me nonetheless -- Feyd+Shaivalak and Feyd+Reaper. Like YEAH I KNOW Feyd was a manipulative bastard in canon but like what if he actually took a liking to them and Reaper was his drinking buddy and Shaivalak was his fucked up baby queen daughter. Feyd honorary spider when.

I love Minecraft! Info dump for me please
WOOOO‼️‼️‼️‼️
Ok so… I’m going to tell you about the main characters of me and my friends Minecraft story “Changing Realms”
Well, the chapter 1 main characters. Theres two chapters. The two main characters of chapter 1 are Arian (An Piglin + human hybrid) & Enthurian (An Enderman + human hybrid). They eventually become love interests (after a lot of slowburn)
(Art of Arian and Enthurian below)
SOOOOO MUCH TEXT below the cut
Making this easier for me by copy pasting what I said to my friend >:]
Feel free to ask any more questions!!
Arians backstory
Arians father was a human, his mother was a Piglin brute
He lived in the nether up until he was about four, until one day humans came in and started deliberately hunting down and killing piglins for whatever resources they had on them.
His mother, Alice, was in desperation to keep him alive— out of that desperation, she threw him through a nether portal (even when he didn’t want to go, she forced him) and managed to turn it off, leaving herself in the nether and him in the overworld
Arian ended up finding himself in a large village building. He was taken in by the village with open arms… well, mostly… not without a bit of hatred towards his less than human or supposed “uncanny valley” appearance through the years. No matter how human he looked.
Arian grew up in that village for ages,,,
His father, a pillager outpost leader (who he never met by the way), found out from Alice of what she had done with their child. Out of anger, he began pillaging as many villages he could to find his child.
In the process, Arians home was hit. At the age of just twelve. He was terrified. However, he began rushing to collect as many of the village children as possible to get them to a place where they could hide.
In the end,,, He ended up narrowly avoiding the sight of his father (who he didn’t even know was there or was even alive), but his home was completely destroyed. Everyone expect him and the other children were dead, every single resource considered useful had been stolen.
Arian, with nowhere to go, was then homeless for the next 7-8 years. He had to survive alone in the wilderness for ages. (His tail even got cut off by a vindicator)
Then,, when about 18-19, he found another village. There, he found out that said village was being ruled over by tyrant pillagers who had forced them into their control.
Arian, who held a strong grudge toward any person who deemed themselves a pillager, began using what materials he had gathered over the years to both make and buy armor and after that he headed towards the mansion and began raiding the place, slaughtering any of the pillagers that were inside (excluding any children, who were spared and sent out to live in the village themselves)
In the end he ended up ending the tyranny, which made the village he had saved eternally grateful. This resulted in him being deemed a citizen of said village. So, he decided to make the mansion his new home.
That mansion eventually became the guild of Pyxis Fornax (‘Compass and Furnace’), which was meant to house those who were deemed ‘less than human’ / ‘less accepted’ by their kind
——————
Enthurian’s backstory
Azaleus, first in command of the end council (otherwise known as the ‘Council of Orion’ or ‘Council of the Hunter’) otherwise known as the “End Lady” due to this; was in love with a human warrior.
The catch was,,, it had been deemed a law within the end by other end council members (excluding her and her half-brother Dimitri), that it was forbidden for endermen to breed with humans. No matter the reason. No matter the excuse.
…however, blinded by her love and desire by the warrior who had saved her, Azaleus bred with him anyway.
This resulted in the egg that housed Enthurian. Azaleus cared for the egg for months, keeping everything a secret. She loved him. He was her baby, even if he wasn’t even fully born yet. He was so, so precious to her.
However… eventually words slipped out while another council member had been secretly listening. The word got out. Azaleus was attacked by the rest of the council with scolding and even physical violence. Leviathan (Emerald/Reapers father and second in command of the council) even tried to smash the egg himself,, Dimitri got in the way, protecting his sister and his nephew, resulting in him getting very wounded.
Azaleus was given the choice to either kill the egg or give it away… reluctantly, she decided to give the egg away. She didn’t know to who, as she barely knew anyone, but she did.
Enthurian was born into a family that did not love him as much as Azaleus would’ve wanted,,,, She felt horrible guilt for her choice on who to give his egg, even if it wasn’t her fault.
Enthurian’s two main friends were Muriel and Emerald (Reaper at the time). He adored both of them.
One day, Emerald revealed to his father that Enthurian was still housed within the end, hoping he would turn a new leaf. He just wanted to make his friends lives better… but things only got worse.
Muriel realized something was wrong that day, she rushed to Enthurian and ushered him into his house. She said they were going to kill him. Enthurian then looked outside and saw his mother along with other Endermen,, an arrow was then shot into his eye.
Afterward, Emerald patched up his wound,, and that’s how Muriel put the dots together. She knew only Emerald would’ve gotten that close to tell *anyone* Enthurian was still in the end.
Muriel, enraged, took ‘an eye for an eye’ literally. She slashed out Emeralds eye to the point of no return, leaving it un-healable compared to Enthurian’s.
They ran, leaving Emerald behind even though he begged for them to change their mind, pleading that they could just talk to them and hopefully fix *everything.*
Muriel and Enthurian however knew that couldn’t happen. They jumped through the end portal together, even with the chance they’d get separated.. and that just happened. They appeared in different parts of the world. Alone.
Enthurian, over time after that, as years went by, became more filled with hatred and anger as he grew older. He was violent, aggressive, cautious. He met Arian eventually and became apart of the guild. His goal is to kill the end council along with the dragon
Bonus: what is the End Council?
The “End Council” otherwise known as the “Council of Orion” or “Council of the Hunter” are a group of higher powers inside the End.
These higher powers tend to be carefully selected by the dragon herself. Azaleus was chosen a little less carefully, she was chosen simply because she was born with wings and that made people consider her connected to the dragon herself. Her brother Dimitri was dragged into her fate. Doomed by the narrative.
The End Council decides the laws/rules and important traditions of the end. Privileged, they live in a large castle considered the largest and fanciest building in the end realm.
Azaleus and Dimitri do not like the rest of the council, as they tend to be incredibly privileged and entitled in nature. Leviathan had made Emerald, whose name was changed to ‘Reaper’, the general of the End Knights. Azaleus knew this was horrible news, and she was right. The knights, at Reapers command, were now actively hunting down Enthurian and Muriel with the intent of slaughter. They also plan on harming anyone who tries to stop them from doing so. Before, there was no general. And since Azaleus was first in command she was able to keep the knights at bay and keep them in line, discretely preventing them from harming her son or his friends.
When Emerald/Reaper was promoted to be the first ever general, Azaleus’ control of them fell out from her hands

I’ll leave this up for today, and we can hopefully start tomorrow if potential changes aren’t too difficult!

behind the scenes bonus thoughts below
🟢 despite jjba showing up a lot in submissions, duo dynamics were inconsistent. a bunch of characters were only submitted once. i tried to get jojo rep in there by putting the most submitted duo in the prelims but it ultimately didn't work im sorry 😭
🟣 i was surprised by the lack of killua and gon submissions, i guess bc killua might be more blue-coded. i mean they're still in there but they're placed lower than i expected at #22
