I need to draw Timie at a chalkboard explaining why most enemy types are actually apart of the greater Hyrulien ecosystem and that Keese are considered a keystone species to Link (sksw) who doesn't understand what a trophic pyramid is because skyloft survived only through divine intervention

any tips on building cottagecore esque stuff?

Hi!!! This is long apologies in advance.

So there are a lot of different takes on cottagecore.

Beyond interpretations of romanticized rural and farm lifestyles, Cottagecore aesthetics tap into many rustic and rural concepts. Cottagecore explores and draws inspiration from the existence of witches, gnomes, or fairies. As such, the concept of Cottagecore is centered around ideas of a simple life in harmony with nature. (source)

Personally for me, in Minecraft I feel like it's a mix of structures that feel old, cozy, and lived-in, with some plants and greenery strewn about, in addition to an emphasis on small details such as a well-tended garden, personal decorations, or anything else that just says "comfy" and "home." A lot of the builds you'll make for this can be functionally aesthetic, like a tiny well, or can be just purely for decorations like popping custom mushrooms around your base~!

You can probably re-create cottagecore builds in any typical minecraft style, but personally I tend to do a mix of whimsical, fantasy, and medieval style builds with cottagecore, and sometimes a touch of fairycore, overtones.

So I'll give you the same kinds of tips I give others on building.

Use a reference if/when necessary. I personally use concept art, video games, real life architecture, and my own drawings for references when possible. Use pinterest, tumblr, YouTubers, etc., as inspiration for you!!! Just make sure if you're posting or you're going to make a video on it, you credit who you were inspired by~!

Change to a texture pack for your single player world that fits the tone of what you're trying to achieve. I personally use Mizuno's 16 Craft and additional add-ons in my hardcore survival world as it has the tones and textures on the blocks that make me feel like I'm living in a cottagecore world. Perhaps this texture pack - or others - will work better than traditional vanilla for you, but it is entirely possible to have cozy, heartwarming builds in vanilla too~!

Add leaves. Add trees. Add gardens. Add window treatments-flower boxes, pots, lanterns. Build aesthetic fields, well-worn foot paths, greenhouses, apiaries... Instead of putting your cows in 20+ spruce fences, take the time to make them an actual enclosure- you can do it with stones or wood~! Decorate it with grass, and hay bales. Plant some wheat inside of it~

I tend to use a lot of wood, stone, and neutral toned blocks for my builds. Usually I will take liberties with color on the roof, though it's entirely possible to do colorful houses in the cottagecore style (especially with the warmth of the terracotta block!)

Have fun and BUILD what YOU LIKE~! Doesn't matter if it's not functional. Doesn't matter if it's not accurate. Doesn't matter if no one else likes it. I would have never gotten better at exploring this style if I didn't try, so try and have FUN with it!!

The build above is something that was inspired by the photo on the right, I was really trying to recreate this blacksmith + house in my world. As you can see, I kept similar elements like the main structure having a tower, and the forge/furnaces being on the small side building. However, I also tried to keep it to scale of the other builds in the small village I am (was?) working on at the time- so it's much narrower.

In the front, I chose to add a market stall canopy leading into an open-market for my blacksmith to sell their wares, and the entire build is covered in overgrown leaves. Though these things in and of themselves don't make it ~cottagecore~ alone to everyone, it's a very cozy, comfortable vibe (to me) which I relate to cottagecore.

Some people may feel more connected to things typically reflecting homes you may find in a quaint village or rustic English countryside. Some are impractical, like a hollow old tree stump or a giant overgrown mushroom. These four images are just various things I've built in my time as a content creator and Minecraft enjoyer that I felt super connected to~!

The above two thumbnails are from my hardcore series over on YouTube, (ep. 3 out tomorrow!) where I'm building my entire base as a series of small builds to make up a larger area, rather than a mega base! I am effectively trying to combine everything I've learned about building in my last few years to create builds that combine these styles and emphasize coziness and aesthetics!

Hopefully this all made sense and sorry this is so long!~

I Just Don’t Understand...

Why it’s so hard for people to design a cute cow plush.

It’s got the eyes of a predator animal (close together, forward facing), and the muzzle is so small and un-cowlike.

I know it’s pretty obvious that this is just a bear base that they’ve added cow features to, but if you’re gonna make a cow, then make a cow. I feel so threatened by this thing.
