AHHH I've had about an 8 month long stretch of constant art and ideas, but now the block is back on. Had to rely on the 2 am motivation for this one.

I love my Stevie boy but sometimes rabid critter inside me wants Nora instead, and the only way any progress can be made is if I listen to it.

Nora has to explain to the diamonds why her use of she/her pronouns is different from how gem society uses it. And even if she managed to explain it in a way that they could fully comprehend I'm sure they'd wonder why she/her users hadn't conquered the planet yet -- time to explain misogyny 🫠.

Animation is my passion ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

the farlands is so fascinating, both as a consequence of how Minecraft functioned, and from a theoretical in universe perspective.

I'm absolutely sure I'm not the first person to think about it, but like imagine being a person who explored too far, and now you find yourself at this place where the natural rules of the world seem to break down, or perhaps the rules are being laid bare for the first time.

What you thought you knew, how you thought the world worked, it's not real, it never was, the proof is staring back at you.

The landscape is so foreign to anything you've seen in your entire life of exploring, nothing is clear except one thing, you should not be here.

You can't leave though, to travel back from where you came would take so long, and this alien landscape is so strange, the human need to understand refuses to let you leave.

I kinda wish the farlands could be reintroduced as an official "biome"

I know they won't, but it's such a cool world feature that because of its insane distance from spawn, would be unlikely to affect the typical game experience

I think the strength of Minecraft (or rather one of its many) is the unique things that can happen to you, the weird one off situations that statistically will never happen to anyone else you know, that element of wonder is what brings people back time and time again, and the farlands could be something like that. that feeling of wonder is also why Herobrine as a concept is so captivating, I think.
