#war ment

[mindflamer]

people are bullying ms rachel, a beloved children's teacher/entertainer, over this video. (x) for raising money to help children suffering. she had to make a video crying explaining she loves all children & she's not excluding anyone by raising money for some that are in need. i think if your ideology makes you angry at helping starving children that's a sign you've taken a very wrong turn.

Hasn't Czechoslovakia not been a thing for almost a century by now?

You couldn't go to war with them if you wanted to.

Good thing that I don't want to

the oppenheimer movie really has war crime apologists crawling out of the woodwork

[rel-ish]

traumatized young men in the middle of the war who have completely snapped after their best friend's murder will look at the moon and say "is anyone going to blow this up" and not even wait for an answer

*Does a funny little dance* It is Vanilla Minecraft World Lore Time

To begin with, I wish to state that all of this is pretty in flux (haha) as I've only very recently gotten back into Minecraft and keep finding tiny details that make me 180° various peices of lore (the existence of dragon heads, achievement names, etc.). Feel free to ask questions!

I'm also going at this from mainly a more Attempting To Be Scientific view with added magic for spice.

The End

The End is the beginning for our story, so we'll start here. Unlike many, I tend to lean more towards the idea the End has always been a very desolate place. The End is very low in oxygen with a thin atmosphere and low temperatures, thus the only creatures that manage to live here are either extremophiles(??? but non-microbial. I can't seem to find the word, F) or invasive species!

The only non "plant" life native to the dimension and still existent just pre-collapse were the Dragons, thriving with no natural predators and putting such a strain on the environment that others simply couldn't survive. They possibly evolved to become such a danger through less than natural means, perhaps due to radiation, or more magically, Void Corruption.

What would bring about the Collapse - Overworlders, specifically what I've nicknamed Raiders. The Raiders would manage to create a portal stable enough to transport in others and eventually lead to the over-hunting of the Dragons, as seen in End City Dragon Heads, Elytra (dragon wings), and the existence of Diamond Armor when no diamond ore is found in the End.

The Raiders, however, didn't consider that not managing to slay the Matriarch, one old enough to be more Void than End at this point and absolutely a threat, would risk everyone in the End and beyond.

The Nether

The Nether is not exactly a homely place, and as I wrote grew to become the exact opposite of The End - high temperature, extremely high oxygen (allowing sustained infinite fires), and to a degree full of life (though just as extreme in some manners as The End).

Going by post-Nether-Update standards for this lore, this absolutely includes an incredibly diverse many-biomed Dimension. The dominant race of here was the Piglin and Pigmen, adapting through ingelligence similar to our world's humanity. They were craftsmen, making their own tools and even enchanting, and were potion brewers perhaps as well with the abundance of potion resources.

Unlike the End, the traveling between the Nether and Overworld was done with a decent bit more ease, assumedly due to less Void Corruption. This most likely lead to trade between the two, but I can't say that for sure as there are few remaining signs. There was certainly travel, however, as the Ruined Portals are gold-adorned, a sign of Piglin management.

And yet the achievement "Good Ol' Days" implies something felled the civilization. And with the Piglin being heavily decentralized for my HCs due to diverse biomes and the Nether not being the most practical environment for transportation beyond Strider and Hoglin use (slow and not too mobile), a full dimension-wide race dying out had to have been something huge.

The Overworld

The Overworld was average by most standards which makes it the most stable by far, with a livable amount of oxygen, its own night/day and seasons, and a growing centralized civilization.

Possibly the first to commit to dimensional travel, the soon-to-be Raiders traded first with the Piglin they would meet, and then moved on to attempt to reach The End (I'm unsure as to how they knew of The End at this point, admittedly).

They would reach The End with a significant amount of weaponry and armor in comparison to The End, equipped in Diamond and quickly creating their own bases of operation using what they could find and pushing back against the Dragons. Some dragons would assumedly escape, reaching back to the Overworld and dying due to over-oxygenation and heat and being risen by Overworld Corruption to become Phantoms.

But as the scales tipped to the side of the Overworld, The Matriarch, Queen of the End, would assert her authority and protect the main island, leaving a massive gap between her island and the rest of her world to protect her last remaining child. The Void would begin to corrupt the Raiders - creating Endermen - warping them beyond recognition, the portal would be shut, and Void Corruption (see: Warped Forests) and war (through use of newfound soldiers perhaps?) would bring about the fall of all other civilizations of the time, leaving a still living but silent world.

I have more but they're smaller headcanons on things like Piglin culture/politics, overall dimensional corruption magic ideas, possibly Endermen biology, etc.!

I wonder how many articles of the Geneva Convention have been broken across this war and the civil war

Not many! As far as I can tell, actually, Demise has broken the most,,, if you can consider that a war...

So demise definitely broke one because doc killed Zedaph who was a civilian

The way Impulse and Grian killed iskall could probably considered humiliation at the end of demise

Grian used excessive force and inflicted ‘Unnecessary suffering’ on doc when he killed him with like,,, 28 things of mine-cart TNT

but regarding Civil war and other wars

Mumbo could have considered a prisoner of war for like. 10 mins but I don’t think that broke any rules technically.

Due to it being a civil war, guerilla tactics are allowed so thats fine as well

Other than that i can’t remember any other possible violations, but im not a scholar of war crimes so... Others add your 2 cents!

so to give a bad summary of cain; former prince of a kingdom who was basically born to fight and ultimately die the big bad evil looming over their country, made a pact with a minor god to tie the evil to his life but has them killed forever instead having them be reborn every fifty years so his childhood friends legit kills him when he dies. because that however, also tied him to the deity he was ultimately revived with a different appearance and decided to go on being a huntsman. used to be called “prince charming” because of how he presented himself until ultimately ending up the posterboy of a rebellion against an evil kingdom.

actually a functioning depressed & sarcastic almost-alcoholic with a flair for the dramatic.

Demo, let Daye an Allan have some independence. I know it's easy to worry for them, especially if you consider them your adopted children. But. They are both adults and you shouldnt treat them like they're children. Allan is hooked up to respawn and Daye can fend for xemself

They’re still my kids and this is an active fuckin’ war zone! Neither of them should have t’ go through any of this at all! They don’t need t’ be put in danger in th’ first place.

...Ah shite, it’s my fault fer takin’ them in, isn’t it?
