So a lot of new shit dropped in the latest Minecraft update but obviously I only care about the pigs. Let's discuss breeds!

Starting off with the original pig just because— this little guy's probably a Landrace pig!

They're some of the most standard domestic pigs out there along with Yorkshires, but Yorkshires have perkier ears. Landrace pig ears lay flat much more similarly to our Minecraft pigs!

Next we have the warm pigs. These babies are probably Durocs!

Look how red and beautiful they are! There aren't many common red pigs, so it was really between these guys and Tamworths. Tamworths are an Irish breed, so they don't come from a particularly hot climate. Durocs however originated from Africa from what I researched!

And finally we have the cold pigs. These guys are most definitely Mangalicas!

These guys are like. One of the most prominent breeds with thick creamy hair to keep them warm. They're also Hungarian! They're also my favorite pig breed!!!!!

Hope you learned something new about pigs ^ - ^

So Roustam wasn’t told about the 18 Brumaire thing ahead of time. He was told that Napoleon and Duroc “went on a walk” in Paris and then randomly both got murdered 😭😭 Apparently Josephine even pretended(?) to pass out on the sofa. So Roustam gets told this and he starts sobbing and everyone else was really upset because they all thought Napoleon and Duroc were dead. Then later he sees Napoleon randomly show up on a horse and he’s still alive. So everyone who had been crying then starts celebrating like hooray you’re not dead… lmaooo

i'm reading Napoleon: Bisexual Emperor by Frank Richardson and although the book itself is a mess i do like the small amount of Napoleon/Duroc excerpts I found😭

Are there any accounts of Napoleon yelling at Duroc or being mean to him?

That is a good question! I don't think I've heard of any instances so I'm not sure. I know that Napoleon and Duroc were very close. But I also know of Napoleon's temper. I'm willing to bet that somewhere along the line, Napoleon did or said something mean, whether it was just in the moment or he actually meant it.

Maybe some of my friends can help with the answer? I would like to know too!

if i had to help my napoleon choose between a lannes, duroc or a junot to play with who would be the best choice? i'm thinking the lannes but the other two are protesting :((

Rating: Not Cute!

Buddy, did they already packbond?! You gotta take 'em all, you can't separate a pack like that without making your Napoleon cry in his soup or someone commit autodefenestration!

Adopt the entire crew. 'Oh, my house/enclosure isn't big enough for all of them.' Your Napoleon is a conqueror and you just got him a squad! Say 'good-bye, neighbors,' and 'hello new empire!'
