#Elytrian! Philza

[nomsfaultau]

My fic based on the Eleonora's falcon's whumpy hunting strategies is here! Summary:

For generations, a certain population of Eleonora’s Falcons have been observed learning to capture smaller birds by shredding their wings and trapping them in rocky crevices to have fresh food available later. In the Avian tongue, Eleonora translates to Elytrian. In the Avian brain, Elytrian translates to nightmare. But while Avian Techno is dreading the moment he’s turned into lunch, Elytrian Philza hasn’t slept in three days trying to take care of his newborn. When the line between chick and chick food starts to blur, how will predator and prey handle it?

Design details below cut :) featuring lots of speculative biology and culture based on real birds.

General

Both species don't have feathers around their mouth for hygiene.

Evolutionary, they follow the

Their teeth are convergent evolution. They are not the same as mammal teeth.

We are ignoring the fact their flat faces are not the most aerodynamic.

Head wings are to increase mobility and the face aerodynamic problem. Somewhat similar to dragonflies where they have a lot more aerial precision, but doesn't allow them to hover.

Languages are grouped by Order. Some portions are instinctual, others are learned.

Avians

Avians are passarines. There are multiple species of Avian. Technoblade is based on colorful songbirds, but doesn't have a specific source.

Omnivores. Diet includes fruit, nuts, fish, insects, grains. Become more herbivores during migration because they can store long term.

Technoblade's feathers mimic the spears of a crown, with his back similar to cTechno's blue cape. His shoulders are very fluffy to mimic the fur of cTechno's hood, and because it's winter.

Evolved for long distance migration across the ocean. Their arms were primarily an adaptation for holding supplies during migration, but have found new purposes with the invention of society.

Because of their long head wings, Avians can't wear typical shirts. They also don't have a concept of chest modesty. The halter top is a way to carry more supplies while flying, and has a net interior. The sleeves are to keep their arms warm during migration. (and to mimic ctechno skin).

The long head wings make them incredibly agile in flight. Combined with their incredible endurance, if they can survive the initial attack they tend to do well.

Walk more upright than Elytrians since they don't have to counterbalance the same magnitude of wing.

Like to wear shiny stuff like gold.

Baggy drop pants to trap heat and because they don't tend to walk too much.

Can sleep with only one half of their brain while migrating so they're able to keep going.

Good mimicking abilities.

Elytrians

Elytrians are falconiformes.

Elytrians don't typically do the de-winging thing, it is a learned behavior within Philza's area (much like Eleonora's falcon). They find arms very useful for tearing while clutching the prey in their feet talons.

Nearly exclusively carnivorous.

Elytrians live further south of Techno's species, and migrate about a month after they've passed through.

Their general diet does not typically consist of Avians but instead other birds, or terrestrial prey like deer or smaller. They only eat Avians during migration/hatching season, targeting exhausted migrators.

The main hunting strategy is divebombing at incredible speeds. If they miss, they might pursue it little bit, but have a lower success rate.

As such, they have small head wings to avoid getting in the way of aerodynamics.

Small head wings also mean they can have more of a shirt! Tend to have sleeves, and don't cover up the chest because there's lots of fluffy feathers there, particularly in females. They don't have boobs. They're birds. That's. That's not how that works.

Females are larger.

Giant talons for ripping and shredding.

I uh did read articles about the Cretaceous–Paleogene mass extinction and stuff about gigantification and what not, but I think I'll stop myself before pontificating about the oxygen ratio in the atmosphere and potential gravity differences.......

So I’ve been feeling pretty burnt out recently but also still wanting to do creative stuff, just not the stuff that I actually need to work on, lol. And so here’s a Philza Minecraft because I wanted to draw somebody I don’t normally draw!

in my headcanons, elytrians like Philza here have freaking huge wings because they need to catch the super light and thin End air. Then, in the Overworld where the air is thicker, they are SUPERB flyers. Can practically launch themselves into the air with just one flap! 😃 -Imagine

I love imagining OriginsSMP Philza with feathers like this!!!

Reference image from Casserole on YouTube!

Go support them! Their animations are amazing!!! :DDD

[erissdoesart]

God fight started on the 3m server! I'm gonna take it chill but for now, enjoy a bit more art :D

A newly presented avian in a normal household- well that won't do! Thankfully totally not bloodthirsty elytrian dad comes to the rescue :D (He may be using some instincts to keep sonboi quiet-)

Tbh the og origins smp meant so much to me with Niki’s lagoon and the original Pube that Jack and Tommy lived in together, and I’ll forever prefer Shulk Tubbo over Bee Tubbo honestly

sometimes i remember that crowfather philza is a phoenix and i have to live with that...

gotta refrain from ☝️🤓

OP have I got the fic for you!!!

I love the concept of elytras as parasites that live in direct symbiosis with Elytrians... Like they are living organisms that learned to live with a species that directly helps them feed, etc., and by allowing them flight in a world where you need some sort of device or anatomy for airborne, long distance travel - they're the perfect choice for the host. It's also a relationship, almost. I imagine an Elytrian could have some subconscious/mental communication with their Elytra - sense its distress, etc..

This would also mean that Elytrians initially don't have feathers/features that mark them as such - they're pretty much bare when young, and the older they get and the longer they live on with their Elytras the more they look like these old travellers' books depictions everyone has seen. Their skin gains dark markings all over the body, especially at the parts where the Elytra connects with its host, new appendages maybe grow (such as earwings, tails - maybe the organism figures out what will help with achieving best flight performance possible)

And the Elytrian culture stemming from this - how probably meeting your Elytra and finding the one your organism will be a perfect match with is a sacred ritual, something really respected and never meant to be interrupted. Maybe it's dangerous, if not done under the right conditions? How does a wild Elytra behave? Are they just living, breathing animals or much more conscious that we might think? This symbiosis is something that has been done for centuries, so there's no question in both parties being aware of each others' purpose on something more than just logic - it's ingrained in their baser instincts.

This hc is also the case where I really like to dive into much less feathered depictions of Elytras and making them more void and creature-like in appearance to really create that rift between just wings and a symbiote that aids you.

article original post here

Dark SBI where elytrian Philza does this to avian Techno, but since Tommy just hatched his instincts get confused and he starts treating the wounded Techno like a chick :)

Techno is nearly an adult but his species is like. A fourth the size of an elytrian. Can’t fly away cause of the shredded wings, can’t climb bc Philza broke his leg. But Philza keeps bringing him just enough prey to barely survive (chick sized diet), and eventually is like oh! This isn’t my nest! And brings him to roost with a baby Tommy who is already Techno sized and getting worryingly bigger and closer to leaving the nest. At which point…Techno won’t have paternal instincts to protect him from the predatory elytrian.

Only Philza decides he really likes being a dad and isn’t ready to stop now that Tommy is starting to learn to fly. And, of course, it is a learned behavior. So Philza teaches Tommy exactly how to shred an avian’s wings so they’re defenseless and utterly reliant on you :) problem solved :) :)

Wings, wings, WINGs!!! I’m actually really happy with these! I’ve decided to post the wings of the block men (which is to say, the avians - and one Elytrian - of my discovered minecraft youtuber personas.) So up top we have Philza, the Elytrian, who’s wings are based on a crow. This was my first time doing iridescence and I’m SO proud of how it came out! Then below is Grian, who is based on a scarlet macaw, and the bottom is Jimmy’s lovely golden canary wings. P2 to come soon!

New No Venom chapter is once again kicking my ass so instead I'll come here to ramble and offer some canons to No Venom universe in hopes of reigniting my writing juices

1

Wilbur Ash went through four different foster families. None of them could offer him stability and help he needed and one was actively abusive! It ended badly for them when Wilbur snapped :)

2

On that note, Ash was a nightmare child :D He was an understimulated elytrian with no help for his instincts. Elytrians are much stronger than most hybrids. Wilbur could pick small adults as a child for example. He could also throw himself at an adult with his claws and solve his problems in different way...

3

Gods of No Venom! In my mind, the pantheon acts as a big family! Lady Death is the oldest and acts as the eldest sister, including having to scold other gods when they act too unruly 😀 XD is the middle child with anger issues and has to be scruffed from time to time. Prime may not be the youngest but they sure treat her like that!

Also, Prime was born from stars 🌟

4

Philza has black claws naturally but he still paints them. It's a difference between matte and the sheen of it! Maybeee even has gem nail polish. Shiny!

5

Wilbur Ash breved small amounts of potion of regeneration for himself to keep at all times. It was super useful during his stage days- any minor injury was gone and he had more energy for rehearsals! He misses having the potions at hand now.

What's your favorite era of emduo? Mine's definitely antarctic empire era. They were so good. I miss our antarctic empire boys. There was something about their dynamic on that server, in combination with pete. Simply impeccable vibes. (I love all their other eras just as much but I'm just especially soft about this)

It's like picking a favourite child, ueueueue- Why do you ask the impossible of me?

AE has to be up there, obviously. I have a big soft spot for dsmp emduo as dsmp is what got me INTO Techno real big, and I still do love that server's story and the characters and all of the fancreations (idc if people think it's cringe). "What did they do to you Phil" and "You actually got him" and "for you, the world" and "THREE MONTHS PHIL!!!". Dsmp!emduo is very important to me. But I do think AE is up there as a fav.

I have an additional very soft spot for osmp emduo with malewife fail supervillain crowfather and his lackey best friend bunnyblade who is only there for the carrots.

(or the other osmp variant that exists only in my head: powerful immortal elytrian Philza (possibly still a malewife lbr) and his best friend regular guy only-human-in-the-commune Techno)

This pack was a ton of fun to work on, so thank you for the request!! We almost immediately split it when we saw Ringmaster Bulb's progress!! So I do hope that thing settles in for you well!! - Pest Swarm ; Dagon

[mcytblrconfessions]

One thing I'm always going to be angry at is how everyone automatically assumes "Being good at elytra = bird" or whatever. Like NO!!! AN ELYTRA IS A PART OF BEETLE WINGS IF ANYTHING PPL SHOULD BE MAKING LIKE PHILZA AND GRAIN CHARACTERS BUGS!! I just need more bug hybrid characters but nooo elytrian on the osmp automatically = bird and phantom = dead bird instead of much cooler concepts. I think we should in fact ban any further avian hybrids so ppl can do cooler winged character designs.
