in my head the star wars equivalent of tswift is some human woman named tay’lor spiff or something and her stans are losing their minds over theories that she’s secretly a jedi singing about the horrors of war, even though she’s from a neutral system that hasn’t seen so much as a moral panic in 50 years

You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me

[trenchcrows]

"people in real life: hey man how's it going" is a killer phrase. instantly neutralizes whatever insane discourse you find online. gonna start using that from now on

[trenchcrows]

[trenchcrows]

#aro philza real

[trenchcrows]

you came back wrong and i am racked with guilt because i cannot bear to see you like this and i should have let you rest. i loved you so much that i defied death itself but i do not think either of us are happy

[trenchcrows]

For context, me and a few of my fellow crows on Phil’s Discord had this idea of “What if there were Minecraft crows that were specialized and adapted to live in different realms/biomes?”

And now we have End Crows 💜

it’ll never fail to amaze me that chessex, the game dice company - like if you bought your first dice set from a game store/comic shop/card shop you most certainly bought a chessex set - has such an ugly and poorly designed website. it looks like they went out of business 15 years ago.

Menaces of the underground, the Deep Dark crows have arrived!!! 💙💙💙

DEEP DARK CROWS

A guide by Philza Minecraft

Physical Adaptations:

Functionally blind

Instead have thermal vision (like snakes)!

Helps them locate prey and recently deceased creatures for food.

SUPER sensitive hearing (smell too!)

Cold-blooded with slower metabolism —> don’t have to eat as often.

Some use echolocation to identify their surroundings.

Like End crows, have feathers adapted for silent flight.

Behavioral Adaptations:

Prefer dark/cool environments

Cautious & not very trusting

Will often attack living creatures to get them to make noise, thus summoning the Warden (free meal!)

Flock in moderate to small sized groups

Other Notes:

Blind, milky eyes

Body covered in sculk

Tattered fringe feathers

Velvety down on legs and wings absorb sound frequencies!

Fig. 1) Almost died

NOTE: Can be won over with treats and patience.
