#Idk what this Spirit is doing but they're MOSTLY harmless--

[robotface]

Seems like a lot of people on tumblr are jumping over to cohost? I'm robotface on there too if you wanna follow me.

Tumblr going on life support is mixed emotions for me. On the one hand that means they're guaranteed to stop making it worse now by further twitterifying it. But on the other hand it means they'll never fix their mistakes and un-twitterify it.

If this place goes down I'll lose a lot of stuff. Most of it I'm fine losing. I don't feel the need to download an archive of my old fandsverse account or mosslover65 or anything. Despite those being a big part of my... Not childhood really, but teenage years? They were formative for sure. A lot of how I exist on the internet and in the real world is because of them. But if tumblr disappears and nobody can read a mosslover65 post ever again... I don't think I'd be too broken up about it. IDK.

Maybe I should make a mosslover65 cohost page. But it wouldn't be the same, I've basically done everything I want to do, I would just be rehashing the same jokes for a fresh audience, and one that I feel would be a lot less receptive. Like, a lot of mosslover65's humour was from getting up in random people's notifications trying to derail their posts into talking about eating moss. I wanted to create this sort of perplexing emotional experience, make the internet a weirder place to be in. Like a more harmless version of getting a random reply guy and diving into their blog and discovering weirder and weirder aspects of their worldview.

But the idea of doing that on cohost just feels like it would be... annoying. The culture there is such that replying feels a lot more personal and directed. People aren't used to it being an online pvp area, I can't just hop on a post and go "this is now about my funny gnome character wanting to eat moss" without it feeling like some kind of violation. Tumblr is drifting that way too, which I think is mostly positive. People shouldn't be expected to put up with random strangers' bullshit. Towards the end of mosslover65's "life" I moved more and more to interacting via asks with people who had *chosen* to be here, and promoting nature photography accounts with vague "looks delicious" comments. It felt a lot more wholesome, and a lot of mosslover65's fans were only there for wholesome, and I just lost interest. But in the beginning mosslover65 was weird and combative, they weren't a cute gnome, they were a creepy creature from an interdimensional forest who used blood magic to connect with satellites and post on an internet they didn't understand. They experienced the content of posts from their feed in their dreams, or as, like, waking hallucinations or whatever, I never really worked out the specifics. They would slip through reality in a fourth spatial dimension to peek into our world, desperate for a further taste of human civilization, which they had become sort of parasocially addicted to through this ritual internet connection, but if they ever got spotted by a human they'd turn into a statue forever and die. People didn't care about that, they saw a gnome posting about moss and went "aww, that's cute." And then deltarune came out and there was a prominent joke about the protagonist eating moss and then everyone was just like "did kris dreemurr write this?" Not that I'm bitter about that. At the time maybe I wished people would appreciate the darker aspects of my character but at the end of the day Tumblr latched on to the parts of the blog they liked best and I made more posts like those because I liked my posts getting attention. And then more people followed specifically because of those posts, and there was this feedback loop and before I knew it mosslover65 had cultivated an identity completely contrary to what I had set out to do and at that point it would feel mean-spirited to pull the rug out from under everyone and go back to doing weird and aggressive. Ultimately I think I'm glad my little weirdo could bring so many people happiness on this hell of an internet. But I think I'm ready to let them go. Anyway that's my pointless musing for tonight

Mob Masterpost

I’ve gotten many asks about the mobs in this world, and I figured I might as well list them since there are a good chunk I removed, as well as custom lore for some. These will probably be paired with pictures one day, we’ll see.

- In flower fields are a subspecies of Mooshroom, the Moobloom - which have many different varieties depending on the flower (but there are mainly yellow ones) 

- Mooblooms co-regulate with bees 

- Mooshrooms just need to break down dead plants for nutrients.  

- Mooblooms just need sunlight and water 

Striders 

- Co-regulate with Piglins, who keep them safe. In return Striders are a popular form of transportation (very big) to get around the large lava lakes in the Nether. 

- Eats the mushrooms and plant life of the nether (the plant’s spores stick of their bodies and travel to grow and shit).

- They can easily swim through lava using their big, duck-like webbed feet.  

- They get too cold and freeze up if they’re outside of lava for too long.  

- Strider babies like to ride on their parents backs.

- There are, however, rare large square bees-like creatures that roam around the world. These creatures only attack when attacked, and can be tamed to ride on by people (think like Appa from Avatar).

- They can mentally control other, smaller bees if they desire (think like the Alphas in HTTYD2) 

- Every 10 years; there is a small chance of seeing The Elegant White Beefly/ The Queen bee and other rare bees flying around. 

(CONCEPT ART PROVIDED BY LLEN_BEE)

Endermen 

- These are void creatures that are made by the Enderdragon 

- They have no real thoughts or will of their own and are not considered to be fully conscious or aware. 

- They are a collective hivemind under the command of the Enderdragon 

- It’s rumored that the Enderdragon sees through their eyes. When Endermen fly into rages due to making eye contact with people, it’s said that’s the Enderdragon, trying to exact her revenge on humanity.

Iron Golem

- Iron Golems are man-made guardians/ machines built to protect villages and trader outposts from monsters at night. 

- They’re considered to be gentle giants, only attacked when they’re provoked. They’ve even been known to pick flowers to give to children as a gift.

- They are, however, extremely powerful and bulky, and are not to be casually messed with.

Hostile Mobs 

Zombies & Skeletons (They're basically the same thing)

- Literally just dead people idk what to tell you 

Drowned 

- Literally just Water Dead People™  

Spider (only cave ones) 

- Literally just extra big spiders that live in caves congratulations

Creeper

- They’re a conscious mass of moss / plant life.  

- They spread their spores by exploding near living things and attaching the seeds to those things. The seeds grow from these. This is why it is important to clean your clothes well after encountering one. 

Elder Guardian + Guardians

- These are ancient magical sea creatures that were made by the gods. They were made to guard Sea Temples from outsiders. 

- Guardians watch over the outside and most of the inside under the Elder Guardian’s command. 

- The Elder Guardian's eye can cause time to slow for the person whose gaze it lands on. After tests it has been confirmed that it simply feels this way to the victim, time does not actually slow.

Ghast 

- An eternally crying spirit of the nether. They are extremely dangerous and hostile if they spot you, since they are able to spit liquid fire from their mouths. 

- Their tears are made of liquid silver and are extremely valuable if you can manage to collect them. 

Blaze

- These creatures are created inside nether fortresses by odd objects called “spawners.”

- They’re made of fire, smoke, and bright, eternally hot metal they can use to swing around to harm their opponents. This metal is commonly referred to as “Blaze Rods”  

- They guard nether fortresses with their lives, willing to sacrifice anything to protect them. 

Hoglin 

- They’re considered the elephants of the nether; very strong, very destructive, and potentially deadly. 

- Warped fungi are a tasty treat for Striders, but are extremely toxic to Hoglins. Because of this, they have developed a fear to the signature pattern of the warped fungus. 

- They eat / scrape against wood and plants for food as well as to sharpen their tusks. 

Phantom

- They’re small nocturnal creatures who live up in the trees . 

- They make nests out of bones they find, and mostly eat bugs 

- They’re very shy, and only come out to try and “help” other creatures get sleep at night. 

Shulker

- Very tiny, almost pixie like creatures that live in the ancient ender cities. They build themselves purple shells to hide away from danger. 

- Their shells are made from a mixture of sticky saliva and mucus, and plant matter from chorus tree plants. 

- They are able to spit out a sticky magic chemical that cause people to start floating into the air. The only way to get out of this is to wait for it to wear off.

Slime

- They’re mutant creatures made of a translucent ooze. The color can change depending on where they originated. 

- The lighter, outside ooze is very sticky, but also has bouncing properties. The inside, darker layer of ooze is very toxic and can dissolve metal. 

- While smaller ones are basically harmless, bigger Slimes can be very deadly. They trap it’s prey inside it’s body to immobilize it, and digest it alive.

Wither Skeleton

- These are skeletons that have had prolonged exposure to soul sand, turning black and “withered.” They also have a small blue fire in their chest. 

- They’re faster, stronger, more deadly and more hostile then regular skeletons, and are known for pursuing their targets over long distances. However, their bones are slowly withering away.

- Only fresh wither skeletons are fully intact. This is why it’s so hard to get fully intact wither skulls. 

The Wither

- When three wither skulls are combined with a great amount of soul sand, and is lit with soul fire, a Wither is born. 

- It’s an ancient creature built for only one purpose, to destroy and kill all life it sees

- Long ago, all the Piglin tribes came together to defeat a Wither that was rampaging across the Nether. Ancient writings of how it came to be were drawn along the walls of Nether Fortresses. 

- The tears of a Wither makes Wither Roses - an apology to the lives it has taken. 

- Nether stars, which appear once a Wither is defeated, can be used to make beacons. They can also be used to make Totems of Undying, when it’s combined with god-blessed liquid gold, and an emerald pure of corruption.
