but my lore rotted brain would like to think about the fact that the Endermen and Illagers are (kind of) working together.

Like it’s kind of cute all things considered.

If we work off of the theory that the Ancient Builders are the Endermen, and the Illagers were stashing up their old items from the ruins out of adoration for the ABs (like implied in the game by chest loot and the “camp” in the ancient cities.) it would totally make sense for the Endermen to guard that section of the woodland mansion; as first of all, it would’ve been their own items, and second of all because they’re on really good terms with the Illagers, if they are actually the ABs.

I guess you gotta be in a very specific niche of the MC fandom to appreciate this little movie tidbit as much as I do, but I can’t be the only one.

And now if you're into Lion Dancing, you'll know there's Malaysia style heads, right?

Why is it that Associates only ever suffer minor injuries (or death)

How many giants are born of trees

   And how many nonexistent gaps appear among the unseen thin branches

The floating lights that lost their containers by blending with the shadows

   Hills born of clouds low on the horizon

       The pale hazy things born of bright moonlight, the pull of the full, and everything in-between.

             And

         the howl

    of something

unknown, unusual,
