MY DOG IS BACK HES BACK FROM THE WAR

Hostile and Neutral Overworld creatures, excluding subsurface organisms and testificates (villagers, illagers, witches).

Players. Robots made by the ancient builders, put in stasis and made to awaken (‘spawn’) 1000 years after the apocalypse.

Alex was made to be a hunter, wanderer and identifier. She was captured by the illager empire shortly after awakening and subjected to torturous experimentation. She escaped, but not without terrible trauma and a taste for vengeance. Agoraphobic, abrasive, utilitarian, loyal, and resourceful.

Steve was made to be a builder, miner and engineer. He was taken in by villagers after wandering the world alone and afraid for an unknown amount of time. A cleric named Reinard taught him how to brew, read and write, and function in villager society. He is kind, shy, curious and naive. He likes people, but doesn’t know how to act around them.

Hero was the first player made. He is the only one who remembers the ancient civilization. Everything he knows is dead, except for the other two. The ones made to replace him.

"dont get near Geminitay if you're just going to make her a girlboss" okay i agree that not every female character is a girlboss but you guys can't just say Gem isnt a girlboss we don't have to be irrational. she is a roleplayer, builder, good with pvp, and finesses things out of other people by simply asking (not so nicely at times). she is the boss. use Pearl as an example, Pearl is literally just a nice neighbor that sometimes shares glimpses into her life just to reveal the weirdest fucking hobby or occupation ever with a straight face (pickle trees come to mind) and is casually a tcg champion. Gem would do fracking. in minecraft.

Hermittober 2024 - Zombie

There were perks that came with being, well, not exactly alive. Of course there were the obvious, don’t have to breath or drink, and otherwise fatal injuries were no big deal. And then there were the more subtle, not having to sleep or constantly look over one’s shoulder at night. Those were the things that Cleo used to brag and tease, you almost got your arm cut off? Permanently? Couldn’t be me. But then there were the things that she didn’t share as freely. Her skin was numb to heat and cold, a touch feeling like no more than a forgotten whisper. And the hunger, a deep and crawling hunger. It screamed and shrieked and, no matter what Cleo did, even when they did things that crept into their dreams, never grew quiet. Those were the things that don’t get advertised, though it wasn’t as though Cleo had gotten sold on the idea. Still, sometimes, when she looked in the mirror, Cleo didn’t recognize the patchwork face that stared back. Maybe that was for the best.

Thinking about minecraft languages again I fear.

We know of at least two diagetic writing systems used in the world of minecraft— enchanting table language and some form of the Roman alphabet. We know that some form of the Roman alphabet is diagetic, because it exists in the world already before the Player arrives. Whoever built the desert temples assigned significance to the letters "TNT" enough to put it on their explosives. Pictographic writing also seems to exist, based on naturally-generating chiseled blocks, but that's harder to definitively state isn't purely decorative.

Villagers also presumably use some form of writing, given that they have librarians, but whatever that writing is, it doesn't seem to be legible to the Player, since we can't read books until we write in them ourselves.

The villager/illager species definitely creates symbolic art, given the use of banners by the illagers and of creeper face symbols on clerical robes. Piglins also use symbolic art, given the snouts carved into bastions, and it seems reasonable to conclude that they have some form of language.

This gives at least three languages in the world of minecraft— Piglin, Villager, and Desert Temple. Possibly a fourth, with Enchanting, but that could just be the writing system used by villagers, given that the Player doesn't seem to be able to read it.

What would those languages be like? What kinds of poetry are written in the Hnnngs and Hrrs of the villagers, or the grunts and snorts of the piglins? Could a piglin and a villager learn each other's languages, or are they too different not just in terms of vocabulary but in terms of the physical features required to communicate? Do piglins carry information in the flapping of their ears? Do villagers produce complex tones by resonance in their large noses?

And what about etymologies? For villagers, wool comes from sheep, but to a piglin, if wool exists at all, it's woven from strider hair. If the inhabitants of the desert temples had a word for gunpowder, was it related to their word for creeper? If piglins do, is it related to their word for ghast?

minecraft “lore” idea: what if the villagers have last names based on their careers (i.e a librarian’s last name could be “Bookkeeper”). When Steve meets the villagers he decides he ought to have a last name, and following the villager custom of a last name being based on what you do, he calls himself Steve Minecraft.
