He makes wheat machines to show his affection

So, I have this little headcanon about how Enders work and what makes them so deeply unsettling.

And it’s entirely their ability to pick up blocks.

Hear me out, In the Minecraft world, only two beings seem capable of just taking a block, whole and intact. A) The Player, and B) Enders. And both are rare in any given area. Especially Enders, since they tend to avoid places with too much water, like humid jungles or cold regions where snow eventually melts into damp ground.

Now, think about how villagers build. They have to work like we do, cutting trees into planks, shaping materials by hand. If they pick up soil, it’s just a handful of dirt. But then, imagine walking somewhere and seeing a perfect block missing from a structure. Or worse, one placed somewhere it shouldn’t be. No tool marks, no signs of how it was moved. Just gone. Or there. Unnatural.

And that brings me to Three Eye’s domain. Over time, he’s dismantled nearly every tree and rebuilt them. But not normally. He’s made them eerily straight, sometimes too tall, too precise. Beyond his domain, nature grows wild, trees twist, lean, sprawl. But the moment you step into his land, everything is… wrong. No bends. No natural curves. Just rows of towering, too-perfect trees.

(because i didn't until today)

that Iskall's season 10 Monstrosity was not the first build of its kind on Hermitcraft!

because in season 1 a group of Hermits including Joe Hills, Keralis, and Bdubs before he was properly a Hermit decided to go around to a bunch of people's bases and build Exquisite Corpse-style structures at them

and they looked like this:

• mostly called "Lowen" by her older sister Sorcha

• the "ugly duckling" of her family - she doesn't share their signature light brown hair or lightly coloured eyes. Instead, her eyes are smaller and slanted in the slightest (no she isn't adopted nor is she an Asian - was inspired by my prettiest cousin who, out of all her siblings, popped up with slanted eyes) and she just doesn't look like an Archeron at all.

• Elowen's got dark brown hair (wanted her to have black hair but I like her better with dark brown hair) and dark brown eyes - yes, her eyes are brown, but they just look black if the sun's rays aren't shining directly at them. Elowen thinks it looks like wet stone (oddly specific for someone who only saw wet stone like, once, when she was a child.)

• can't read (until she can), but she tells everyone she can't read (when she actually can), because pity and manipulation and "not my fault they weren't expecting the unexpected" and also Elowen likes it when people underestimate her

• okay i lied, she hates being underestimated but sure as hell enjoys wreaking havoc to prove a point wrong

• being the last child, she is - chaotic. To the next level. Actually, she has more middle child vibes but because she's the youngest she gets away with most of the shit she's pulled

• ran away from home when she was a kid because Feyre shouted her when she broke the bow she was using (I mean, Feyre was right in shouting her - she was either playing around with the string trying to make music or she was acting as if the bow was a stick/sword and she was a fanciful fae knight)

• so she ran away, had to ride a horse bareback, but idk when she had to do that I just wanted her to do it as like, a runaway person thing - maybe she could have stolen it. Yeah, I like that idea. Very similar to what another one of my oc's did but it's okay because I didn't post that yet oops.

• so she runs from her family (dad, nesta, elain, feyre) and goes to her older sister Sorcha (who's Nesta's twin oop) who is working as like either a governess or like a maid in the house (note: both, initially she works as a maid but then as a governess)

• of course, Elowen's appearance only causes stress for Sorcha - as her appearance is just always stress inducing for everyone (it's fun, until it's not)

• she ends up complaining and crying to Sorcha (working them tears you see) that nobody loves her and that she should just get on a ship and sail far away - (because, she could do that, really) and she ends up staying with Sorcha, acting as like, a handy-man/girl/assistant thing (Elowen complains that she feels like a slave, but Sorcha says she's getting paid in free accommodation and food, similarly to Sorcha, who earns a little extra and sends it South to her sister's)

• anyways she ends up killing a gardener by mistake but I'm not spoiling it for you guys because it's fun and has some nice bonding between what is essentially the oldest (Sorcha) and the youngest (Elowen) siblings

• Elowen hates Nesta and Elain - but more so Feyre who would force her to do work around the house / in the woods, but not Nesta (even though Feyre tried her hardest to get the two oldest girls to do something) - so Elowe feels as if Feyre hates her (and as siblings usually do when they have a hissy "I HATE YOU AND WISH YOU WOULD DIE" fight, she runs away)

• of course when Elowen runs away she thinks that Feyre doesn't care to look for her and is hurt but Feyre did look, with Nesta and Elain, but Elowen either doesn't know that or doesn't care because they could have at least sent a letter to Sorcha if they really cared (Sorcha actually sent a letter to them because writing material was more accessible to her than her own siblings, and, well, Feyre couldn't read, or write)

• honestly Elowen is just living the life - yes, she hates working, but Sorcha teaches her to save the money she makes so that she can use it in the future - and Elowen, being a kid, just wants an adventure, or, to see the world, or to go trade and be a merchant! (Like her father, but she'd be better than him, because she won't put all of her eggs in one bag)

• Elowen hates her father, because he ignored her. When he did look at her, he'd accidently call her Elain, and Elowen would once more go running off in the woods, where she'd cry.

• Elowen is a fighter, through and through. Her mind moves fast - she comes up with solutions or plans or just - ideas, really quickly, but, this changes once she enters the Cauldron. Her mind slows down a little, still processing what happened to her, and coming to terms with who she is - what she is; no longer human, but fae. Elowen fights everyone around her, and keeps herself in the darkness of her room, while that hatred within her chest - hatred aimed at the magic, at the world, at the stupid King (and Tamlin, who, when she is in the Spring Court, is the number one target for her anger) - only grows. It consumes her, and she knows that it is doing that, because she can feel it, surprised at how fast it's spread, because how long has it been since she was kidnapped, stripped, and Changed?

• so Elowen just decides (like a child, like a person with no maturity and understanding, one whose foundation is a thick brick layer of petty) that if she had everything taken away from her... then she'll take everything away from them (the people she doesn't like).
