-slides in- Do you have anymore mandrake X reader? or any ship headcanons?
Absolutely I do! (definitely didn’t write a whole fanfic on ao3 because I had too many headcanons noooooo)
Mandrake x Reader
I’ve been thinking about this recently but Mandrake has an absurd amount of patience. Not only does he have to rule over a chaotic colony of boggans who more or less do what they want most the time, but he also plays the long con with the leafmen and seems like a genius strategist, planning for every little kink in his plans far ahead of time.
So it stands to reason that he isn’t a man who gets jealous easily. He already puts all his trust in you and isn’t worried about you leaving him for someone else. He wouldn’t be with you if he felt otherwise.
But, but but but, that being said—
—he is possessive.
Not overbearingly so, he respects your boundaries, but this man knows what is his and isn’t going to let anyone even try and think that they have a chance to claim otherwise. It’s just fact, you are his, just like how he is yours.
Your relationship is built on mutual claim and respect of each other, and that doesn’t change.
Don’t ever tell him about the “I licked it so its mine” joke, because you will not be getting away from that one. He’s already enough of a pain in the ass as is.
Anyways, he doesn’t get jealous easily, but he is not above looming over wannabe suitors if they get too comfortable talking to you.
Anybody who dares to flirt with you has a death wish anyways, seeing as you are, presumedly, the co-ruler of the boggans and are equally as feared. Most Jinn don’t know what you actually look like and wouldn’t be able to know who you are unless explicitly told. But who would want to try and flirt with Mandrake’s partner?
If you keep your identity a secret, maybe because you used to be on good terms with the leafmen or just like hiding your face, then that’s more of an excuse for some poor schmuck to try their hand at flattering you.
If Mandrake does see someone getting too close for his liking, he will come over to you and put an arm around your waist, or his hand on your shoulder.
If he’s feeling extra, he will wrap you up in cloak and put his head on-top of yours. Sometimes he will just grab your attention, the sight of him alone will send most running.
No words, other than making casual conversation with you, needed, and when you aren’t looking, he smirks as he watches the person you had been talking to scurry off scared.
You aren’t oblivious, oh no. You know his game, and you’ll poke fun at him for it too.
But if you bring it up and tease him, he’ll only ruffle your hair and push your head away, playing hard to get while the two of you go off to do whatever you were doing.
Sometimes he’ll let the person keep thinking that they have a chance with you, just for the hell of it. You’ll let them know when you’ve had enough and he trust you to handle yourself.
And most the time that you do let the flattery go on, it’s because it serves a purpose.
Information, drinks, news, gossip, whatever, it’s easier to get that sort of thing when you left your armor and cloak at home.
You seem more approachable, and while the occasional sweet talker buzzing around you like a fly is annoying, its nothing a good hit to the jaw won’t fix.
You’ll have a laugh about it later when flying back home to Wrathwood.
Hope you like it! Maybe I can actually finish the other asks that are in my inbox now 😅😅
I'm just gonna rant about this here since I keep seeing this take. I feel like a lot of you guys are taking too much of this piglin stuff at face value. Like, if you think Mojang is actively "demonizing" piglins or something, I straight up don't think you've been paying attention or looking at this with a critical eye. Piglins live in a cruel world. A harsh landscape which would obviously shape their societies to value strength and anything of the sort which would keep them alive. The Nether lacks certain resources, some of which is actually the fault of their ancestors.
Like, this is something we've known since the Nether Update came out.
I say this because there's actually reason for piglin society to be the way it is. It makes sense. Even so, piglins aren't inherently evil, even in the various games. Vanilla Minecraft is obvious. You can barter with them and hang around them if you wear gold. The piglin merchant from Minecraft Dungeons makes this point even more evident with the fact that they journeyed to the Overworld simply to set up shop.
They're completely passive to the player. They're not here to invade and they don't care if you wear gold or not.
In Minecraft Legends, it's a legend. A story passed down from generations. It doesn't necessarily reflect a full truth.
Even so, a lot of the piglins don't even seem to care about invading the Overworld too much. Two out of the three main piglin generals don't even actively participate in the invasion.
The boss known as the "Devourer," leader of the Horde of the Spore, doesn't do much besides send out additional forces to help with the invasion. They mainly just want to keep eating mushrooms.
The boss known as the "Beast," leader of the Horde of the Hunt, especially doesn't care for invading the Overworld. Throughout the cutscenes they appear in, they just want to hunt hoglins.
It straight up takes another piglin leader to step in before they actually do anything to help with the invasion.
Hell, these piglins get abused by their bosses for not complying or failing to accomplish what they must.
Even the bosses get abused by their bosses!
To think that they are all a truly malicious force is a gross generalization for you to take from all this. The truth is that it's complicated. The ones in power dictate what happens and that doesn't necessarily reflect the average piglin and what they want.
Ultimately, they comply out of fear. For their own security. And that's just what happens in a lot of empires with powerful leaders. Perhaps they don't even know better. The Nether is a tough place to live in. So, what's one more fight to them if they might have a chance to one day survive somewhere in a place without lava and ghasts everywhere. Especially if succeeding with also keep their bosses off their backs.
The piglins have a complicated past and that's fine and actually very realistic. If anything, I feel that Mojang has given the piglins the best kind of treatment, in this way. The most world building out of any Minecraft civilization. It just sucks to see when people don't realize that.
And with the movie, I feel it's largely the same as in Legends. Can you really tell me that piglins here are inherently an evil people? Look at this little guy.
Once again, it's the fault of their leadership and their cruel mentalities that have spawned and evolved long ago from living in a cruel world.
Yes, that piglin did just stab that child, btw.
Anyway, my point is that there's just so much more nuance to this than just taking away "piglins bad" from Minecraft media.
oh thank god u saw mandrake finally i went insane years ago and wondered why no one in the strange magic fandom had seen him and went 👀👀👀
Mandrake is too good for Epic I’m officially taking him out of that movie and putting him into Strange Magic, no take backs allowed, he and Bog are now drinking buddies and Mandrake’s son Dagda is totally embarrassed that he shares his name with the Fairy King, oh sweet sour stench, Dad, please let me change my name, PLEASE.
After I saw the new leaks for the Minecraft movie and saw how the dragon was almost obsidian like, I wanted to implement that here on jean?
Her skin is jagged and craggy like crystals
Her maw opens in three parts
She breathes a noxious fume and fires balls of toxic and combustible gas
Her eyes never blink and her expression is only of permanent malice

Okay so, Mandrake is the Main Antagonist and Villain of the movie. He is the King of the Boggans and his goal is to destroy the green Forest and infest it with Rot and Decay.
He is vicious, determined, and intimidating, but most importantly of all…
✨He’s a Really Great Dad✨💖
His son, Dagda, is one of the antagonists. His description is, “Like his father, Dagda was fearless, confident and sadistic, but was also passionate and loyal.” He comes off as a big dumb brute, but in reality he just wants his Dad to like him and not disappoint him. He had a felicitous childhood and was an obedient son, idolizing his father at a young age.
Okay so, proof that Mandrake is a Great Dad (SPOILERS): 1) After Mandrake was done telling Dagda about his plan to kill the Queen and take the Royal Pod, he complimented Dagda’s looks in his new rat pelt, saying, “You look good in Rat. It’s…slimming!”
2) Waiting to assassinate the Queen of the Forest, Dagda’s getting a little impatient. Mandrake says to “Be patient, son. The Forest wasn’t grown in a day.” In response, Dagda says, ”but we can destroy it in one, right?” and Mandrake says, with a proud smile on his face, “That’s the spirit!”
3) When Dagda got killed (🫡), Mandrake immediately went after him when he heard his yelp, seeing him plummeting to the earth after getting shot by an arrow to the chest, screaming in a pained voice, “Son! NOOOOO!!!”
4) Some time after Dagda’s death, after Mandrake got a couple of his henchmen to “Frog March” Buffo to where the Boggans are invading the Forest, Buffo insulted Mandrake’s general by calling him an idiot. Clearly, he didn’t know who that general was. Mandrake angrily says, “That ‘idiot general’ was my SON!!” jumped off the platform he was standing in, and slammed that Rot Staff onto the ground with Full Force, felling a giant tree, uprooting it in the process, ways away from the Boggan Brigade. He was PISSED.
5) He tortured a couple of his hostages by telling stories about his son like a Proud Dad and showing off Dagda’s baby fangs and first molt XD 💖 Look at how happy this MF is to be talking about his son!
Now, you may be thinking, “Yeah, that looks and sounds like a character she’d have a crush on.” Which, you’re not wrong, he is pretty hot, especially with that Bat Cape he has, BUT I actually like DAGDA a bit more! Why? I don’t know. Maybe because he seems like a brute on the outside but has a big heart on the inside? Not wanting to disappoint his Dad and just wanting him to like him (bro, Mandrake already does like and love you, this just means you have self-esteem issues now)? In Cut Content it was planned that Dagda was going to go against his father’s plan of completely rotting the forest, so that might mean he understood the importance of both Growth and Decay and that means he Grew and Progressed as a thoughtful Character? He also is rather Round and Squishy looking so it would feel great to snuggle him (he’d smell bad, but hey, Free Real Estate)? I dunno. He just grew on me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
LOOK AT THAT MF SMILE 💖 HE LOOKS ADORABLE 💖💖 HE ALSO KIND OF LOOKS LIKE A WEIRD ELEPHANT SEAL, TOO XD 🦭
Anyway, husbando Fo' Sho'
Has anybody made a height estimation for the Boggans and Leafmen in Epic 2013?
Because Im close to doing my own research fo figure it out
The leafmen are smaller than hummingbirds, but noted to be two inches tall
But mice are huge and taller than them
Mandrake wears a bat hide but rides a grackle
Dagda wears a rat but rides a grackle
But a bee is still as big as their shoulders
If somebody’s done this, @ them to me!
How I wish to live the way you do Brave and strong, all day long, as you walk the path you choose Though they’re small, these gestures of affection I hope sow the seeds of a future that is hopeful and bright With the rose that I long for... Hold my hand and sing with me; our melody is evergreen Every laugh, every smile makes the place I call my home One day, the summer wind may carry all my seeds away Maybe you could fly with me too? If I can bloom Freya character song 🍒💚
