Oh He's Been Traumatised !! The Fact That He Gets So Scared That He Essentially Short Circuits And The

Oh he's been traumatised !! The fact that he gets so scared that he essentially short circuits and the golem in him's just like "Fine, I'll do it myself."

I just have the mental image of Steve shaking with blood soaked hands but the Golem side of him has one hand on Steves shoulder and one hand thumbs-up

Rambling about an idea I had because I love traumatizing block men:

Steve, while being very strong, can’t control his strength. Despite the fact he can kill most creatures and people with ease if he wanted, the thought of even just hitting someone makes him genuinely nauseous — both due a mixture of being raised with pacifistic villager customs and his deep-seated fear of everyone around him dying/leaving him (his entire civilization exists as long-dead fragments you can’t blame him).

However, he panics in stressful situations and can’t keep a clear head when he’s terrified. There’s a point where his brain sort of shuts off and (being a golem) his robot brain takes over to eliminate the threat. So he basically blacks out, turns into an Emotionless Killing Machine on the assailant(s) and wakes up to a bloodbath. Very distressing, understandably.

So anyway, with that out of the way, I’ve been turning a scene over in my mind. The illager empire is hunting players down, and in this scenario, steve is cornered by some big 6’something nasty sadist vindicator dude about to get a lifetime supply of emeralds from scoring this short-nosed little freak. Hes scared, freaking out, when suddenly he just…goes dead calm, his eyes glazing over. And then BAM! His fist flies forward like a bullet into the guys throat and kills him instantly. The rest of the patrol approaches, shocked to find one of their best guys stone cold dead on the ground and dead from some serious blunt force injury. They look to see Steve, dazed, shaking and petrified, glancing between at the blood on his hands and the vindicator.

And better yet, the Soothsayer is a part of that patrol since he’s one of the illager partisans in charge of catching dem players, so while the other pillagers are like Holy shit 😨 the Soothsayer goes up to Steve and praises him (perhaps playfully scolding him for killing one of their best men as if it was practically nothing). He hugs Steve, but Steve is rigid with fear, both of himself, the illagers and The Ramifications. Soothsayer assures Steve he “isn’t in any trouble” but implies he ought not to go back to his village for fear of banishment for His Crime, coaxing him into coming back to the mansion and letting it blow over. Heheheheheheee
