#anyways. yes i am drawing flint and all my followers piglins in a line holding hands because i can

You're actually reading my mind we have all the same headcanons. Stop that omg hsbdjfkds (don't really stop it, it's so cool). Flint's like. 6'5" bc I wanted him to be pretty much a head taller than me/my character, so somewhere in that realm. Dropout brute also, so he's a little bigger than some of the others. I adore that you use in game height measurements you are so cool and thank you for the height references i will be using them for evil drawing purposes <3 not evil, just mischievous. And excited... something like that. Thank you for listening to my rambles, goodness gracious. If any of this^^^ is coherent to you, you're doing better at understanding me than most, lol

"water content to be found in various trees, barks, leaves, and fungi" girl help ME TOO!!! Thinking about them tapping large fungi for water like we tap trees to make maple syrup!! It's not pure water, it probably tastes a bit earthy, but hey it's better than nothing! They'd probably be able to distill it, but most don't mind using it straight from the source

Literally not kidding it's in my doc "Water is very rarely drunk, as piglins get the majority of the fluid they need from what they eat (hoglin, fungus). They likely have pretty powerful kidneys/concentrated urine/whatnot like tortoises or kangaroo rats etc" like I'm not joking we have the same brain here. I feel distilled water would be used primarily for sick/elderly/young piglins, in the off chance that the taste of it is a bit off putting. Depending on what you think about specific blocks, I also think that shroomlights would be delicious! Almost like peaches of the nether, lol. They're like large fungi fruits/spores, but I think they'd just be sooooo succulent. Good stuff!!

Ouuugggghhhhh I LOVE thinking about potions. Regeneration potions would just taste like summer, like melons and a little salty bc of the ghast tears! Though I guess all potions would be a little earthy bc of the nether wart base... but I believe it's just good at taking on the flavor of whatever you give it, like rice or tofu or something. A good staple crop in Nether society! As for ghast tears being a source of water, I feel it might be a bit tough to farm? Unless they domesticated ghasts... ghasts are kinda jellyfish-y, so they may just hold a lot of liquid on their own? Who knows! I do like the idea of them being able to be ground down and used like that since they look crystalline-- maybe they're produced more like pearls are!

Since you ask to see more piglins :)

This is the only one I really have a set idea in mind for-- Rust/Rusty, named as such for her reddish coat! The bottom right in the last image was the first idea and then I got too excited and started making a ref for them based off of that. I need to add the tusks to the fullbody, but they're kind of a babirusa mix? I was trying to get a middle groundish between babirusa and some sort of feral hog, I just love the mohawks that grow on those guys. Anyways, she's kind of like. Always wanted to be a brute, and tried to get into training with the others, but was mostly on the outskirts of it during their upbringing. A bit rowdy, and usually eggs people on or instigates fights to show their strength, but people tend to steer clear of it (or just watch the foolish ones who decide to challenge her with some popcorn, lol). Idk much about him yet, but I'm thinking about em. Maybe gets to be a lower ranking bastion guard or a barkeep or something of the sort. Idk, but I like toying with the idea!

*Looking at you with big wet eyes like a dog* Does your bastion have a name? Any bastions surrounding it? Lemme have a trade route or two with you pretty please let's be sister bastions /nf

Oh, those poor piglins in that video sbhdfjjds they did try their best, but man are withers tough stuff. Dereck had technique, is all I can say! And maybe a shield. That definitely helps. The person in that video is living their best life fr!! I wanna have an origins playthrough as a piglin because I'd have the time of my life doing so. I love these funky little dudes!!!

:DD!!! yes!! a wither!! (i saw a video once of some guy spawning a wither in the nether and letting these piglins have at em, cuz theyre naturally aggroed on wither skeletons as enemies and i thought it was super cool- i think one suevived nearly the whole fight? and it just,, gave me ideas!)

the immortality thing is kinda like a player status thingy! so yeah! (in part cuz im super attached to some of them, namely dereck, rylan, and grimm; and so i while i was super cool with them getting hurt and outcasted and going thru a lot of angst essentially, i was super super uncomfortable with them experiencind death in any permanent capacity, so here we are 😔) so respawning is a thing! and my thought was since players (people playing the game) are able to be any kinda skin they desire, i figured itd make sense like this "player" status was bestowed upon them like a gods blessing! if that makes any sense,,

and yea so with dereck, with his withered status, it cant really go away cuz he was withered BEFORE the wither died and he got blessed, aha 🤭 🤷 (lol i just thought that what if he treats his condition with milk like in game, and so he keeps trades with zombie piglins and other players who go to the overworld so he can drink it since its not available in the nether omg *enter he needs some milk vine* and and lol if he does nothing to take care of it hes just gonna fall into a death loop cuz hes immortal 👀)

omg flint is so cute i wanna draw em together 😭 who knows if i have time tho. they WOULD be friends omg taking care of the littol ones together 🥺🥺

thank you!! i love the wither star idea! just a littol trophy for him ^-^

dereck loves u too

How tall would you say your ocs are? Dereck here but rylan and grimm for future reference? No reason (I lie, it’s for drawing reasons). I would love to draw them together also!! I love piglins :) if you couldn’t tell fhdbsjsk

Poor guy with his chronic illness & pain 😔 but hey he’s a good channel for staying on good terms with the local overworld villages and whatnot bc of trade routes, it works out! RIP dude, don’t fall into a death loop… maybe overworld like… cow’s milk has special properties that help soothe ailments that are caused by negative statuf effects? I assume they could probably get milk from hoglins or like. Idk. Ghasts or something fbdbsjjs or maybe if nether fungus variants of mooshrooms existed? Who knows!

I’d like to see that tbh— I’m surprised a bastion could hold their own against a wither in game 😳 that’d be interesting to see the outcome of for sure! Makes sense why an oc would come of it, haha.

I have a couple more piglins in the works, but I’ll have to refine designs, tbh. I’d love to have a solid brute, but most of the ones I come up with end up being retired brutes or dropouts/wannabes, lol. Maybe a good set of piglets to draw consistently or something, too. Idk I have a bastion in my head and I just need inhabitants for it 🤔

Trying to find a good in between for in-game mechanics versus irl influences is so tough !! I do my best but sometimes I realism too hard. It’s kinda fun to mess with though :D
