#end drifters

[mallowbees]

(ID will be at the bottom)

Hi. This feels like the achievement get how did we get here. Yesterday I was like yeah sure you know what I'll make up a beast real quick for an excuse for why I draw Subz horns like that, something that wouldn't be relevant really. but then. Well:

End Drifters are an Enderman adjacent mob that live in end cities. They are omnivores that have sharp claws often used to harvest chorus fruit and break open shulker shells for food.

Drifters, compared to Enderman, have tougher outer skin and spines to deter Endermites. Drifters cannot teleport but instead developed wings to navigate end islands. Adult Drifters grow hard light purple plates that can deflect Shulker bullets, but in adolescence younger Drifters take advantage of Shulker's levitation to practice flight while their wings develop.

They usually have purple or green eyes and light purple markings that can vary in exact shape, but always originate largely on their right side. Their wings are similar to elytras but not the same, elytra are an artificial recreation of Drifter wings, this is not common knowledge among players as worlds with actively spawning End Drifters are very rare.

[ID: Several colored marker drawings of ItzSubz in relation to a mob called an End Drifter. Subz is a pale skinned guy with long brown hair, one purple and one green eye, and three sets of horns, two sets being black and a smaller front one being purple.The left side of his skin is black and purple. He is wearing a black and purple trimmed coat with a large collar. He has like purple shoulder armor. The End Drifter is a tall lengthy creature with the same set of three horns, black skin with purple markings across the body coming from the left, light purple armor on the shoulders and knees with patches around it, light grey wings, purple eyes, two sets of arms with dark claws and legs with spikes down the back like a grasshopper and forked feet. There are multiple areas with text in boxes of light blue. The drawing in the top right corner is a bust up of Subz looking more similar to the Drifter. Text reads “wogh”. A drawing below is another bust up drawing Subz normally smiling looking to the left. Text reads “Normal(er) guy mode” and “[usually like this]”. The next two drawings are full bodies of Subz and a Drifter next to eachother. Text reads “(human leaning) >End Drifter Player” and “>End Drifter Mob”. Some qualities are listed bullet pointed to the right of them reading: “shulker bullets bounce off their “armored” areas.” “can also eat the non-shell part of shulkers” “Their wings and elytra are simular, but not exactly the same” “fugkin beast” “eyes come in green OR purple”. The last drawing is a simple chibi of Subz with his mouth wide open like an enderman. The inside is light purple. Text reads: “full of glow” End ID]

The Crafting Mystery

(yes, this is a parody — and yes this is the second time I make a parody of the same scene that is printed in my brain at this point)

[doodlesdreaming]

Drifter: "You won't forget me, will you?"

Bobby: "Me? Forget? Never."

The words echo in a head made of alchemical flames, as The Beheaded tends a small garden of Forget-Me-Nots, that surround a makeshift grave.

The memory is painful, yet warm with love. For as long as time goes on, he will never forget.

Never again...

Just been thinking how drifter and beheaded would clash at first because of how opposite they are but would somehow agree to a proposition. They are after one thing, panacea. Drifter knew beheaded would outlive him by a long mile. "You know my time is limited. So when the time comes, I'll entrust the search to you."

Bobby not taking any bs, especially froma dead man walking. "What's in it for me."

"My all." He has nothing to loose.

It was a very rough start, but they came to know each other. Bobby is running purely on self preservation, thus incredibly selfish and caught up in his own goals. Drifter having close to none, basically had accepted that death would take him at anytime, yet always does his best to actually help people.

This confuses beheaded. Why do you have the need to help others when its not gonna benefit you, or worse, they bite back when you arent able to give what they expect from you.

Drifter doesnt retaliate. He points out the some of the denizens of the central, some of them taking refuge, taken up business, mourning for the dead, and healing from an aftermath. Each person, he was able to name their situations and goals.

Still, it doesnt disprove the immortal's point. So many things still went to crap and out of drifters control. Nothings changed.

"Sure. You could say the same thing with staying idle. And these people I mentioned, they're here right now, no? I dont think that's 'nothing'."

"...seriously, what are you getting from this."

"I want to see how their lives go."

It's a very simple want. A want the Beheaded can't seem to have a grasp on. Then again, desire is subjective.

"Do you even have enough time for that?"

Drifter didnt said anything. He just turns to him and smiles.

what do you think mitzi’s type in men is?

hmm, this is a fun little ask! especially since her love interests, on a surface level, couldn’t be more different. we have :

zib : former long term boyfriend but not quite … they were very loose with labels, as we know from outside information and the way zib lives life in general. but despite this, whatever feelings fostered between them were intense ; enough so for him to stick around years later, resigned to a chained down lifestyle simply because he doesn’t want to leave mitzi. he’s very loyal in that sense! even if it’s not a conventional type of loyalty. we know that before bitterness seeped inbetween their bond that zib took good care of her, while also being a complete mess of a person ; someone perpetually scared whenever physical conflict is concerned and being a musically inclined man who very much treats himself as a free spirit, with a morbid philosophy and feel towards life. he’s got a major tortured artist aesthetic!! is a little gripped by melancholy and nostalgia … zib is a lot of things, and ambitious is surprisingly one of the many puzzle pieces that make up dorian zibowski.

atlas : ruthless gangster, has an eerie presence that frightens even the people closest to him. he is prone to a more quiet disposition ; never speaking and always a blot of unremarkable grey. but he is an opportunist! someone who can manage a business and take advantage of shortcuts and loopholes to become even more successful … basically he is wealthy and uses his assets well. but all of this is done with a manner of distance, leaving even those closest to him never having the full picture of who he was. it’s also worth noting that mitzi and him had eventual problems, which caused her to seperate. also perhaps has a heart of some kind, but whatever love he possesses is hidden under layers of blood and mystery.

wick : well-to-do bore, and i say this with all the love in the world for wick! but compared to previous paramours he’s rather clean and talkative … there is a constant earnestness to him that bleeds out, an honesty and a more conventional sort of kindness. he doesn’t hide behind smoke and mirrors and there’s never really a front he puts up around mitzi -- or his investors for that matter, hence why he’s treated as an ‘outsider’ so to speak. he is an alcoholic who loathes the details of his job but is more than passionate about the job itself and makes this everyone’s problem … he is a little helpless, in the sense he’d die without someone there to make sure he functions … and is, like zib, perpetually afraid of conflict. can be a little wishywashy and can come across as uncaring due to his cheeky tone … but he’s loyal and caring, with a hobby for the unusual ( bugs and rocks lol ) as well as being able to look past the gossip mill and see the actual mitzi may as he knows her, someone who’s going through a rough time and is either too kind or classy to be a brutal killer. he is hypocritical, a little snobby, and rather forward with mitzi too. kind of a flirt when he wants to be!

something that immediately stands out to me when looking at this lineup is that mitzi doesn’t enjoy a violent man. i don’t think she loathes someone who can so brutally or clinically remove others from this earth, but if she were to go for someone they’d usually be sweeter in a sense. it meshes well with her old personality and kinder heart, perhaps brings it out in her, and that sort of levity and breeziness is more enjoyable than, say, being fully aware of the dangers that lurk around every corner because the man you’re beside is prone to bringing it. she also enjoys more talkative types, someone who’s less quiet and demure and serious, and is keen on her men having a hobby they care deeply for ; some sort of long term goal to work towards doesn’t hurt either. and because of some scenes in the comic, i’m a firm believer that mitzi wants someone who can make her smile or laugh with ease, whether because they’re ridiculous by nature or genuinely funny! she has a sort of funny bone herself, enamored with gallow’s humor and darker jokes, so having someone who either a.) reacts hilariously in the face of her jokes or b.) who can return that energy with teasing or their own brand of silly is desirable. everyone could use a good laugh or two, a sense of joy injected into the bustling life they all live, and this all ties back to mitzi being more drawn towards the less stuffy types of men.

so atlas seems to be an outlier when it comes to her type in many ways, hence the later problems they apparently had in their relationship even if she did love him dearly. but, of course, atlas did have something very appealing to her that zib had failed to give, which she rather fondly recalls in the comic page vestige. whether zib likes acknowledging it or not, mitzi wasn’t as gungho about their normad life as he was … or, at the very least, when she lived another life besides that one, she realized she had a preference! and atlas gave her that path, that knowledge that she wanted something else, and seemingly for the very first time in her life … she felt like a proper lady, a feeling that clearly meant a lot to her. it wasn’t just the dresses or the wealth, it was the constant eye of atlas who could have any dame he wanted, but fancied her his wife regardless. it was having someone so respectable looking, dressed well and groomed well, being able to see her as something other than a sweating, exposed girl in a bawdy dress. atlas’s seemingly polite treatment towards mitzi was enough to garner her affections in spite of everything else, so i think she enjoys that now in others, ; folks who treat her as though she’s a woman in high society, men who don’t gawk at her or make lewd remarks immediately … she probably prefers the courting process now and the quaint dates ( that she doesn’t pay for, mind you ) that come along with it. she just -- likes mutual respect, i think. and who doesn’t? she’s been through a lot to get to where she is now, even if it’s a bad predicament, and she’d like for that to amount to something. some sort of acknowledgment, some kind of recognition.

however, it’s worth mentioning that her views on romance and all that it entails have been warped since the death of her husband. such a loss would change how anyone approaches their dating life, if they were to even have one afterwards … after all, mitzi’s whole problem is that she doesn’t want to move on from atlas and has thus completely romanticized him in her head, to the point that she earnestly believes she’ll be miserable forever without his presence. any problems she had with atlas have long since been erased by her tortured mind, leaving her with a profound misery she’s wallowing in. i think she believes herself as incapble of romantic or sexual inclinations nowdays, leading her to view the advances made towards wick as a necessary ‘evil’ for the sake of atlas may and little else -- when she genuinely does like sedgewick to a degree, and wouldn’t go on dates or kiss a man unless some part of her honestly wanted to do so. ( i also think she was attracted to wick somewhat even while married to atlas, but that’s besides the point ) so this is all a rather complicated affair! she is vulnerable and weak, is too aware of herself and the criminal underbelly squeezing in closer … add this on top of her still heavily grieving and having no one she feels she can talk to, you have someone who is rather changed. mitzi is so far removed from herself and who she truly is, or was, that there’s no doubt it’s affected her type ; now she’ll settle for anyone if they’ll just help her, and even then she’d be dispassionate if romantic entanglement of any kind was involved in that relationship. it’s not something she wants right now, and honestly, it all seems scary and daunting … besides atlas, zib was the only other man she’s ever loved enough to stay around for, so she’s never faced a loss like this before. has kept zib throughout all the turmoil and changes -- so this is, as far as we know, her first major loss where it concerns matters of the heart. it’s not shocking she’s so messed up after it, especially given how fresh it all still is. all of this rambling is to say that mitzi’s a little more stingy and cagey then she used to be about love or sex, and she has a lot of inner battles to face before she can fall for someone and be sure about it. needs to thaw, i think, and she would require patience and understanding from anyone who actually wanted to be with her. mitzi could move on with time ( i do not think she’s the type of widow who’d never date again! ) but it would take quite some time to do so. well, in a world where she’s allowed / is able to heal anyway!

while her type would probably remain the same, i could see her wanting a serious relationship more than she did prior to the death of her husband. has no energy for the loopholes, or the rationalizations, or the fickle nature that can grip someone’s heart. she has matured in a lot of ways since her band days and would take comfort in frivolous things like labels and promises of a future, together, as lovers. while what she had with zib was nice and is cherished alongside the freedom to do as she pleased while on the road with the band, i don’t think she misses it. having the stability and assurance of an actual relationship, with all the hardships that come with it, would be better suited for her. as long as she’s treated like an equal of course! i don’t think she’d be keen on her partner hiding anything from her, even if it’s meant to protect her, due to where that put mitzi when atlas was killed. she’d rather know and be disgusted, or worried, or scared than to not know about something at all until it’s too late … again. naturally patience and compassion would also be of importance, as would the usual things she loves like loyalty and a passion for something in life. and while never required, she’d be happy if the person possessed even a singular musical bone in their body! she still thinks artists, particularly musicans, are sexy after all … likes the angst and brooding that comes with it, the slight flare towards the dramatics … as long as they can handle mitzi in her pitiful entirety and do, to some degree, care deeply for her and will compromise … i think she could find some happiness wherever. bonus points if she can live comfortably for the rest of her days too, lord knows she’s tired of the constant battle of hucking and bargaining.

but yeah! mitzi’s love life is vast and complex and i definitely see her as someone who is more flexible in type than other people are. though there are similarities between her suitors if you really look! anyway, i hope i was able to briefly touch upon this subject because my shipping brain loved your question and kinda went into overdrive, alas. tldr ; her ideal type is wick sable. sorry. once wick learns an instrument the wedding is back on!! … i’m kidding lol. well, mostly <3

saw the romance sneak peek in the trailer and i really hope DE will give us height options,,,,,,,,

generally a drifter customization rework would be nice

Mattie. important question about end drifter Subz. are his shoulder plates added on or part of him, and if they're part of him does he have cold shoulder cuts (basically uhh. how to say. like holes on the shoulders)

oh!! yes and no- The shoulder armor you can see is not connected to him, its just armor, so theses no holes in the coat. However, he does have actual 'part of him' shoulder plates under them! (i will note they're a slight bit smaller than drifter mobs plating is though) The natural plating makes wearing a normal coat look very strange, it humps up the fabric makes it seem like it hangs wrong- tailor that coat and cover the shoulders with rounded armor so you cant tell there's something under? yeah! better!

Late night self indulgent drabble incoming. (Heavely inspired by @zoanluen 's Dance with the Dead AU)

************************************

The boy couldn't believe it actually worked. He thought he'd get caught for sure, but here was Theo, experiencing his first live-in concert, while practically hanging from the rafters of the ceiling. His tail wrapped tightly around the steel beam to keep his balance.

The show was everything he imagined it would be. The band members themselves were just as spectacular in person. The lead guitarist, energetic and as wild as his massive mane of hot pink hair, almost seemed on fire thanks to the spotlights. The pianist, hyper focused and mysterious, his blue skin giving him an ethereal glow on stage. And there's the drummer, keeping the beat in robotic sense that made it very clear how much they rehearsed for the act.

Their music was as enchanting as it was heart-pounding. Rhythms of a time, of a world, long dead and buried. A ghost that refused to be laid to rest. It stirred an unexplainable longing in Theo's chest. A fire wanting to take wing and burn the night sky until the stars are as bright as the sun itself.

Watching the performance, Theo’s eyes burned its ember glow. The Firebird desperately yearning to rise her song, and to dance with the dead....
