WONDER

Its me! and my cat!!

Also the first image is geniuenly how I draw sometimes, my cat Lila likes to sit on my chair and I dont have the heart to move her. 

I changed up my persona desgin a little and I quite like it. It also never occured to me until I drew it that both my cat and I have green eyes.

My sister asked me to help ice some cookies so I tried to make a Joe Hills gingerbread man with the @ symbol. She called it a shark trying to open a door. 

Anyone want a new sister?

This is very late but here we are. 

They are married your honor <3

ATTENTION

If you see this you are OBLIGATED to reblog w/ the song currently stuck in your head :)

Some more fae Hypno because I have no self control. 

My headcannon is he can shift between being more human and his fae form using little crystals. Sort of like season 7 Scar. He doesn’t use his wings when human sized because fae wings are delicate especially when bigger, and its easier to fly when smaller. 

Zed in a minecart what crimes will he commit.

Watched Zed’s new video and I gotta say, he really was assigned baby huh. So anyway here he is in a minecart, I’m getting heavy DanTDM fan art vibes from this. 

Also Zed,,, your going to give those poor children shaken baby syndrome,,, Zed they cant keep spinning for 20 minutes they were just born,,,

You know what, fuck you *un-humans your Xisuma* 

I’m not dead yet but my brain is all over the place and Xisuma has all my favourite colours so heres a self indulgent bit of art.

People in my life are slowly finding out about this Tumblr and everytime someone mentions it I have ice cold fear run through my veins.

Like, I know they don't care but at the same time I'm a college student who draws fanart for block people. I gotta stop using the same profile picture for all my social media.

In other news I am burnt out from drawing so sorry about the lack of actual art. I swear I'll be back soon but for now I'm not liking anything I've been able to draw. I might make some hermit designs or something.

Have a good night y'all, and if your in Australia stay the fuck home I'm sick of seeing the new case count rise.

Nevermind first class was IT and the assignment was postponed since we can't use the computers at school guess I don't need to finish the animation

(I probably will anyway though)

Hey besties first day of online school.

Also art is going to be rare for the next couple of days because I’m a bit burnt out. I have an animation assignment that is taking a lot longer than I expected. I might post it here once I’m done cause I’m pretty proud of it so far.

So much drawing, the same thing, over and over. Stay safe everyone.

A couple of honest folks

I’m starting to seeing more “MCYT dni” like the entirety of MCYT??????? Minecraft YouTube????? I can understand not wanting people who like a bad person or group but Minecraft is the top selling game ever and the most watched on YouTube of 2020, it’s basically it’s own genre on YouTube and you want everyone who like watching Minecraft to fuck off?

God sorry I just feel like we are starting to enter the ‘Minecraft cringe’ era again and I feel like I’m going insane. The Minecraft community is probably one of the best for meeting other queer and neurodivergent people and it’s just a fucking slap in the face to see this shit happening again.

Anyway I thought about fae Hypno too hard and now I have this. I’m really happy with the wings I wanted them to be iridescent and I think I got it right. 

When EX's eyes glow white, that's Jeff the Minion influencing them (1016, 1017)

ok first off this is a sequel to this post , i wish i could say "this'll probably not make sense unless you read it" but that implies that the original post makes senseJBKHVCGFXGHDZ.

So! In the past 2 episodes we've had scenes where EX's eyes shift to white and gain a stronger glow, before shifting back. Some people have just said that this is them getting angry/feeling emotional, but I think that if we look at the scenes, ESPECIALLY in 1016, this white glow actually shows when Jeff is slipping things into their mind.

So! In 1016, EX is relaxing (specifically taking a break from their feelings of depression and isolation from being surrounded by useless wealth and craving wealth, but being lonely, unfulfilled, and unsatisfied (heh.Midas Curse EX)) in the Nether, helps their Strider friends back into the lava, and then exclaims "Oh, that's it! That's brilliant! That's genius! I have the answer now! How do we make diamonds? Compassion, kindness, charity!"

Then the background gets blacked out as it zooms in on EX, their eyes pulse white twice, and their tone shifts to sinister as they say "Yes, we must exploit the good will of the hermits.. We must indeed.."

(note how the background gets blacked out)

Before their eyes go white, EX isn't talking about anything nefarious. They're doing a gay little dance, just delicately put the strider back into the lava and referred to it as 'buddy', and said that they'll make diamonds through Compassion, Kindness, and Charity. Before their eyes go white, it doesn't seem like they're talking about the hermits kindness at all, they're talking about how they can make diamonds through Charity and Compassion. "Make Diamonds" is interesting also because that.. isn't EX's goal. That's just a part of their goal to exploit and take advantage of the hermits, saying that they know how to make diamonds through Compassion, Kindness, and Charity, (especially after they were just feeling depressed and worthless about how they have Money and Power, but they still feel empty) is a weird thing to say, when that is Not. Their Plan. at all

So Jeff just nudges them back into the "right" direction.

EX's eyes glow white and they clarify, (as the Nether, the place where they feel safe and friendly, literally falls away behind them), of Course they meant exploiting the HERMITS's compassion kindness and charity. They don't have any of those things, they're evil. Of Course they meant exploiting the hermits, that's their plan, why wouldn't they mean that? Note also how they go from using "I" (I have the answer now!) to "We" when their eyes go white, (though they're kinda just like that sometimes).

It's also important to note that Eyes Glowing A Different Color is quite literally how Jeff (and EX over X's) Control is shown in canon. In Evil's Fault, it's shown that Jeff's "never ending voice in EX's head" manifests as voices whispering to them as their eyes change color.

I want to say something about Jeff's control over EX (and likely EX's over X), Jeff can't force them to do anything. It doesn't just Make Them evil, we see in Evil's Fault that what it does is show EX clips of X not trusting them, and Zloy and Pix saying that they're cringe, while Jeff taunts them about how the only thing EX will ever be able to do is destroy the hermits, over and over again. But EX's fall isn't because of Jeff's powers, it's because Jeff successfully convinces EX and EX starts to believe it themselves and gives in. That's why EX can break out by (with the Dreamer's help) remembering that people do care about them, and that they can change.

Jeff and the Dreamer can't influence EX or anything directly, Jeff can't just possess EX and make them do things, both of them just need EX to be convinced of it themselves, by showing them their memories of how the hermit's feel about them.

So I think that if this white eye glow is Jeff subtlety shifting EX back to evil thoughts, redirecting them so silently that not even EX is unaware that it isn't their own thoughts, that would make sense and be consistent with Jeff's powers shown in Evil's Fault.

Finishing off, in 1017 EX's eyes change twice. First when X points out the shop doesn't use their CringeCoin, they go "WHAT?" and then their eyes glow white as they say "This is Unacceptable," and then continue on. It's notable that they go white right before EX gets Angry, they were just kindof bewildered before the white eyes and they get Aggressive. They go white again as they say "Something here has to change.. Everyone, Everyone must use the DerpCoin!"

While this isn't as big to me as 1016, I think the narrative of "White Eyes = Jeff influencing EX by going 'hey, that IS a big deal. you can't Stand for that. You should be angry" and nudging them towards hating the hermits makes sense. I think how EX interacts with the other hermits is very interesting because they clearly think that they all hate and are scared of them (asking every single hermits Are You Disturbed By My Presence? Do I Scare You? and them all going what? no i mean y. im a bit worried but you seem cool now), while the hermits have pretty unanimously been chill.

Could this be due to Jeff telling EX that they're only ever going to be able to hurt the hermits, they'll only ever be scared of you, they are your enemies, to drive them further into isolation and malice towards the hermits? I think that's likely, and the eye's going white in 1017 is Jeff trying to dig in the point of the hermits being Against them.

OK LISTEN. THIS ONE MIGHT BE AS INCOMPREHENSIBLE AS THE FIRST But I THINK THE WHITE EYES IS IMPORTANT. IN 1016, WITH HOW QUICKLY AND SUDDENLY THEY CHANGE HEELS, I THINK THAT'S OUTSIDE INFLUENCE. I JUST THINK THATS JEFF. THANK YOU FOR READING !

Some small bits of art I’ve done. 

Ok but Hypno has been acting real fae like.

Obviously he has the mushroom inspired builds and general nature vibes. The swindling of IOU’s though? thats some fairy shit. Also I may be reading too much into this but he did mention not having any metal in his mushroom. 

Anyway fae hypno do with this what you will. 

Another coloured traditional sketch. This time an OC! This is my usual mincraft skin and I thought I'd draw him. I just needed something comfortable to work on since lockdown began and I've been a bit stressed.

what do you think about turtles mate?

I love turtles, I had a reptile obsession a couple of years ago.

My favourite turtle is an Eastern long-necked turtle from Australia because they have these beady little eyes and one time I got to pick one up. I also dont live by the ocean so these are the only turtles I've actually seen in the wild.

Heres an accurate picture from the NSW environmental website.

There are two wolves inside of you, one wants to draw cute sheep Zed and the other wants to draw Zed going insane.

These were originally done in my sketchbook and I decided to colour them because why not.

Ever since Scar said he likes creeper toes, Doc never wears flip flops anymore

Besties I don’t know if I can do this anymore

Uhhh so, if you weren't aware I live in Australia and we just got locked down for a week lmao.

This is both good and bad because now I can pat my cat at all hours of the day, but also I cannot leave the house

Hopefully it's just a week.

Self indulgent drawing of sheep Zed because why not. Also oh god, the colours on my phone are definitely not as good as on my laptop.

Mmmmmm ceiling

Some Wels if you will. I’m really happy with the Hels design I’m so glad it turned out well.

I have a headcannon that when Hels fled to the nether their wings were torn up by the environment and lack of self care. This meant that Hels couldn’t fly, and when he finally returned Wels took pity on him and is helping out until Hels is fully healed.

hello i love your cub design a lot he is very cool

Cub is incredibly fun to draw. Very cool.

Sometimes you need to impulsively storyboard a Hels animatic to St Bernard.

I don't think I'll ever finish it but hey, I'm having fun.

Drew some more hermits! I was bored and decided to doodle these guys, then got a little carried away. I do like how they turned out though, especially Wels I need to draw him more.

I was thinking about Cub staying warm in the snow and did some doodles.
