Deep dark

[skettibun]

MY POOKIE BEAR!!!! 🩵 at least my own take on it, anyway!

Sometimes I hate that the internet fuels my obsessions! Because how am I supposed to stop thinking about this guy- I wanna smooch his weird gross forehead before he punts me like a football!!

Also I have been OBSESSED with sculk and figuring out what it is and how it works, along with the lore of the ancient cities haha ^^ reminds me of some freakish alien soul-consuming fungus and I LOVE IT.??? Also I love ritualistic things and the ancient city SCREAMS culty!

Hey do any of yall like Minecraft ocs?

Here's mine ._.

He's a mix of the Sniffer and the sculk block. Idk I just really like the deep dark and all the ideas that come with it

So like this guy is just a traveler who's like VERY interested in the Deep Dark and ancient cities and stuff, I imagine he'd be an archeologist or something with the trail ruins FHSHDHDHDHDH

So yeah one day he goes into the Deep Dark and now he's sculkified yippie

(I'm not gonna abandon Pokémon don't worry I just don't know where else to put this guy)

YAPPING ABOUT SCULK WOOOOO

i have this weird obsession with the deep dark. every time i start a new world, it calls out to me, like it's where i belong.

it all started back in early-ish 2023, when the animator for dan bull's "quiet, please" (warden rap) created a sculk themed smp to go along with the song. sculk could spawn anywhere, and spread on its own. based on the strength of the players on the server, mobs would have special abilities, and at a certain level, wardens could spawn at night like any other monster.

there was this roleplay that went on, about someone finding a "sculk soup", and taking it to their lab (or smth along those lines, i wasn't invited i just read the chat) and someone ended up drinking it, who we'll call 'drey' (he was the host's younger brother btw)

he ended up getting sone sort of infection that turned him into a sort of mini-warden (more on that later), with a strong drive to protect the sculk. his first words upon being fully overcome by the infection?

"want some soup?"

there were no takers. but can you guess who came barreling to the plaza for some sculky suspicious stew? me :3

turns out it had lasting effects that stuck even after the smp closed down.

anyway, i just thought it would be funny to be the only taker. i took the soup, and then let the spores eat my brain. after my magical girl transformation, me and drey reviled in our newfound power, and then drey went on to recruit other members of the smp to the way of the sculk. this is where the racism arc began.

everyone was fighting while my dumbass just sat in my house writing in my stupid girly diary with a fuzzy pen about my violent hallucinations and the hot wardens in my area. i can't remember all the details, but after a lot of fighting, a truce was called.

fast forward a month or so later, i start a sculk cult of my own, with a mini ancient city built by me. i ended up writing a whole biological analysis on the sculk creatures, which was unfortunately lost when the server was closed down, but i still have a good general idea of what it talked about.

That being said,

SCULK BIOLOGY

Sculk is a parasitic, mold-like fungus, generally found in deep caves, emitting a blue fluorescent glow. While beautiful from a distance, close contact without proper protection can pose serious risk. While most fungi are decomposers, sculk tends to go for living prey in order to spread, often favoring humans as its primary means of reproduction. It can enter a human host's body via inhalation, injestion, through an uncovered wound, or even enlongated physical contact, where it will begin the process to take over the host's body and mind.

STAGE 1. The host will start to notice symptoms such as itching, numbness, or chest and stomach pain, depending on how the sculk made its way into the host. These symptoms will start to start to devolve into those reminiscent of a flu, including, but not limited to;

-High fever

-Nausea and vomiting

-Sore throat and consistent coughing

-Dry, flaking skin and/or rashes

STAGE 2. Depending on where the sculk started in the body, the sculk will start to feed off of the corresponding areas. The host might notice unusual weight loss, and if they're experiencing rashes, a blueish discharge seeping out of them.

STAGE 3. Sculk starts to spread in patches on the host's skin. This stage is extremely painful, as at this point, the sculk starts to directly attack the host's nervous system, causing significant damage in order to numb the host.

STAGE 4. The sculk starts to take hold of the brain. It starts by forcing it to release mass amounts of dopamine to distract the host. At this point, the host's sense of touch is gone, unable to feel pain, as the sculk has near fully consumed their body.

STAGE 5. The host starts to experience severe memory loss, and begins to exhibit unusual behavior, such as extreme paranoia and heightened aggression. They start to feel the overwhelming need to wander into a cave, and return to the sculk, believing it's the only way they will be at peace. They will find a patch of sculk, lie down in it, and allow it to consume what remains of their body, and to absorb their soul.

The sculk surrounding the area the host dies in will condense into a catalyst, allowing sculk to further spread. Their soul will be stored in a nearby sculk shrieker, where it lay dormant for up to hundreds of years. As the soul rests, it grows stronger with time. And when the time comes, the soul will be granted a new physical form once the shrieker is disturbed by an outside force, causing the reborn creature of sculk to rise from the earth, known as 'sculklins'. These creatures are covered head to toe in sculk, dawning blue fluorescent antler-like tendrils on either side of their head, commonly having exposed bones on their arms and legs, and are completely blind. But their most notable features is the gaping chest cavity, with exposed ribs, and a glowing blue soul. This soul, along with the sculklin themselves, can vary in size depending on the amount of time their soul remained dormant, larger souls having been dormant for longer periods of time.

(im tired i might keep edit this or yapping later idk)

a lot of new minecraft content is still weird to me, but I like the deep darks vibes.

Uhhhm uhh... Minecraft?

Minecraft warden :}

Ive got a warden oc (this is not a depiction of him, more of a standard species study) and had issues pinning down his preportions after not drawing him in a while (.....LIKE. 2021.) so i dissected the warden and rebuilt it from the scraps

Ive come to the conclusion that i love them so much after being hunted by one in its natural domain for the first time

Illagers at the Ancient City!

[Digital art, 2024]

Bismark, Landon, and Johnny are investigating the recently discovered Ancient City. Surely they shall find wondrous treasures and great discoveries! What could possibly go wrong?

[skettibun]

Life's been wild, so I've been playing Minecraft again as a way to destress. Thought I'd draw my favorite mob since it's been on my mind lately :) He's such a cutie! I need him carnally

🎃 Warden Jesse

i tried to make this my pfp for discord but erm it looks like shit cause of the circle shape so ill js post it here :) i modeled the tendrils and did the clothes (although the tendrils are js colour picked and the model is copied from the actual warden tendrils) and i think after im done making lukas' halloween model, i am NEVER modelling again because i wanted to rip out my hair. most tedious thing i have ever done

anyway not quite sure how to feel about the lighting? ive never done this type before so id appreciate any opinions or criticism ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

here's without the fancy lighting n stuff
