@howlcraft - Tumblr Blog

hello and welcome to my blog!

my name's howl, i'm 20, my pronouns are he/him and i really really like minecraft. this is intended to be a general mc blog, but a lot of it will be mcyt-adjacent content, so heads up if that isn't your cup of tea. :]

you may use the fanart i draw within reason, just give me explicit credit if you use it in edits or repost etc! however you may not use my art for profit, and please do not trace my art.

some tags i use:

#my art - self explanatory

#builds - my minecraft builds

#clips - clips from streams/videos

#fave - reblogs that i love a lot!

i also try to tag individual characters/content creators whenever they show up

#finally made a pinned post. phew

THE KING IS DEAD! LONG LIVE THE KING!

MORE end city thoughts: They are built out of blocks that you can't get with ONLY the resources available in the end (actually, with only the resources available in the end without the end cities, you have access to no blocks at all). They've got chests, smelted things, glass. They have seeds stashed in their chests but there's no dirt in the whole dimension. So. I don't think the End has always been this barren. I think it used to have a bit more life, more kinds of rock, maybe even some water

OOOO GOOD POINT!! also if i'm not mistaken i believe the endermen used to be able to pass in and out of the end at will before being trapped there by the ender dragon, separating them from the endermen who similarly got stuck in the overworld & nether...

i wonder if the lack of communication with their home dimension simply leaves them feeling disoriented and lost, as opposed to some kind of de-evolution that a lot of ppl theorize. i think them moving and holding blocks is the only way they know how to ground themselves, remind them who they once were (builders, architects.) my personal theory is that they could communicate telepathically, but after the ender dragon took reign all they can hear is static, preventing unity, community, collaboration, ideas. sad :(

#i like the idea of them working together with shulks (or whoever else built the end cities) and living in a kind of symbiosis #i wonder if the endermen were the ones who were responsible for cultivating and caring for the fragile ecosystem in the end #foliage and rivers and whatnot #but once they stopped being able to think maybe everything else went to ruin #on a similar note i rly rly rly wish mojang had made it so that once you defeat the ender dragon the endermen behave different or smth #considering the endermen being mind controlled by the ender dragon is one of the few solid pieces of canon lore theyve given us #i wish that once you beat the game it would SOMEHOW reflect that. that somehow the world (or at least the end) would change #i realize that would take a LOT of work but it would be cool #the achievement is called Free The End but like. it's exactly the same afterward??

wrt ranboo and end cities, end cities have ceilings too low for endermen so they have to have been built at least FOR and probably BY some species we don't see (origins mod's shulks, maybe? )

WOAH I NEVER REALIZED THIS i kind of just assumed endermen built them but thats really interesting to think about!!!

i also wonder a lot about where the elytra comes from in vanilla lore- are they remnants of a people who used to inhabit the end cities? or are elytras technology created by them? if it's the latter, that implies the existence of creatures that couldn't teleport like endermen or shulkers, or at least a need for them that exceeded their existing abilities.

very interesting indeed!

#my brain is buzzing with Minecraft Thoughts

sorry to bring up random dsmp lore out of the blue but who else remembers when ranboo started inexplicably building end cities out of cobblestone despite never having been to the end, or even knowing of its existence

#ranboo #DID THAT EVER GET ADDRESSED? BECAUSE THAT WAS KIND OF INSANE #im 90% over dsmp but every now and then random bits of lore stick in my brain and make me crazy #like. had he somehow been to the end before and forgotten?#was it an instinctual enderman thing?#was he recreating something he saw in a dream?#and he was so casual and notmal about it. he was like Heehee time to build a funny thing in the sky!!!#and chat was like Wait. Hang on.

tango is usually portrayed as some kind of blaze hybrid but WHAT IF: elytrian / avian (whichever term you're using) tango! another bird guy. (also bonus create series thought: create series tango is missing most of the wing on his left side as well as almost all the arm. it was the same accident. )

HANG ON WHAT IF PHOENIX TANGO.. would fit the firey theme and just seems quite fitting for him in general i think!!! :3

#i for one can never get enough bird fellers

i have found out why your blog is doing a weird! it's because you now need to enable the Custom Theme toggle. you don't need to set a custom theme or anything.

YIPPEE THANLK YOU FOR THIS !!!!

#finally my blog can be normal

Hi! Your tumblr theme has gone weird - is it a slightly modified default theme? The default theme has also gone weird in the same way.

oh that's extremely weird it keeps redirecting my url to like a dashboard version of my blog?? idk whats up with that :/

#tumblr what have u done.#thanks for letting me know anon!#ill probably just let it be the way it is even if it's annoying it looks like everything's still there that needs to be there..#hope they fix this tho. it is really annoying

have you seen the tango, zedaph, scar, keralis and bdubs Create series? it is new and good

YESS im really really enjoying it :D i love more technical side of minecraft but a lot of it (redstone) just goes over my head so the create mod is very attractive to me in that it is so visual and dynamic and it all connects and makes sense i love watching it so much .

#got super excited and watched every pov #huge fan of scar's moving castle #i mean house #ALSO I LIK THEIR NEW SKINS #they are in their little outfits .......... their little steampunk outfits...

idk why but i found it SO FUNNY when mexican dream dropped ranboo back off at his grass block after showing him his home. like nonono you don’t get to stay here on dry land, what? this is my house. and he just accepts this. and now we know for sure that everybody in limbo can interact with one another. they have parties, they hang out. and then they go back to their own personal hell?? i’ve run out of the energy to be sad about it, now it’s just all funny to me.

#cranboo youre bumming me out man. lets get you back to your single grass block in the middle of the ocean
