it’s really quite jarring going from a fandom with a plethra of one specific subgenre of fics to one where it just… doesn’t

even parallel fandoms do this. I’m tired of reading sbi space aus, where’s all the hermit space aus?!

[naio-j]

seeing people talk about how tiktok came back Wrong and experiencing my (to my perception) fyp being exactly the same makes it feel like I’m under the influence of The Stranger from TMA

like, everyone is saying my friend, who i’ve known for four years, is totally different. They look wrong somehow. Their speech is halted. They’re telling me everything’s okay and nothing will ever go bad ever and to just trust them

and i know deep down that They’ve changed. I just can’t see it.

Aviary Sanctuary AU (3.5)

Here’s a Grian for you!

Grian of the Void! Stolen hastily from Evo, his powers as the End Demigod is not as strong as Pearl of the Skies or Jimmy of Eternal Flame. He doesn’t use his powers much as a result of the harsh training the Watchers gave him to make up for the fact that he was the incorrect avian type. (See previous post for the lore on Watchers in this AU)

While I’m here I need to expand the lore so please drop some questions or suggestions. I’m highly debating on adding a rarepair to this au in the future and/or any of the popular ships too. It wouldn’t take up much focus, mainly just in the bg cause I can’t help but add a little romance in every story I make ok byeeee

[naio-j]

Aviary Sanctuary AU (3) [Lore!]

Loreeee! New lore just dropped! This is a total deviation from Martyn’s Eyes and Ears AU, but hopefully just as interesting.

Basic premise of this AU: Hermitcraft is a sanctuary for avian players to avoid being hunted for their wings or taken captive as designer trophies. Every hermit is an avian, and I included Jimmy for lore reasons and Lizzie because she’s a hermit in my heart.

In Depth Lore:

The Avian Extermination is a quickly evolving problem. Hunters, traffickers, and poachers are taking out avian hybrids for their wings or capturing them for the rich. 

The W.A.R. Council

A secret avian council consisting of three groups:

Watchers: A clan of mutated nightingale avians. Also known as Those of the Void or Those Who Watch. The End group.

Adapters: A clan of mutated canary avians. Also known as Those of the Infinite Cycle or Those Who Adapt. The Nether group.

Royals: A clan of mutated hamerkop avians. Also known as Those Who Rule the Skies or Those Who Reign. The Overworld group.

Project EON (End/Overworld/Nether Demigods)

The W.A.R. Council grew worried about the survival of the avians and decided to create Demigods capable of stopping their extinction, Project EON.

The Watchers were too hasty and grabbed the first avian they saw (Grian), thinking it would be fine. A mutated parrot avian is different from a mutated nightingale avian however, something goes wrong with the process, Grian ends up more powerful than Players but still weaker than the W.A.R. Council. The Adapters and Royals actually think and succeed in making a Demigod of Eternal Flame (Jimmy) and a Demigod of the Skies (Pearl). The three wander around for a bit after Evo, testing the waters with their new powers until they are invited to join Hermitcraft.

That’s all I’ve got for now, tune in next for the full list of the Hermit Flock!

Aviary Sanctuary AU (2)

There are three ways I choose the type of bird the hermits will be: Appearance, Symbolism, and/or Characteristics. Some just have the fandom interpretation like Parrot Grian, Eagle False, and Canary Jimmy. It was fun (and also frustrating) to match birds to characters.

I made Bdubs a Hummingbird not only because of the short joke, but I had an image of flowers growing in his mossy cloak that he occasionally sipped at. Hummingbirds also symbolize creativity, perseverance, endurance, and living in the moment. The way Bdubs builds really shows, to me, that he really takes in the world and reflects things back into Minecraft in a way that no one else does.

I tried to have a bunch of unique and different birds so it felt like some cobbled together flock that was still aesthetically pleasing. Wings and tails were important to factor in, since that’s how the bird would be represented in the avian.

Here’s a quick basic guide I sketched in five minutes:

Currently working on a little lore… 👀

[naio-j]

Aviary Sanctuary AU (1.5?)

i haven’t been able to think about anything else I just—

Xisuma—Raven

EX—Crow

Keralis—Bluejay

Bdubs—Hummingbird

Etho—Snowy Owl

Cleo—Vulture

Gem—Orioles

False—Eagle

Tango—Sunbird

[naio-j]

part 2 to the chocobo AU (the reveal)… wasn’t sure how to format this but i hope it’s ok!

just to clarify, in this AU scar is a magical zookeeper and grian is a shapeshifter who has been living as a bird to hide from the watchers. this comic is the first time he showed scar his true form!

(there’s more info about the AU on my profile if anyone is interested)

reblogs are super duper amazeballs

Aviary Sanctuary AU (1)

hey guys just letting u know that despite my backlog of fanfic wips and ideas that are literally just ao3 summaries I will in fact be starting YET ANOTHER au,, an AU with literally no story behind it other than a one sentence premise yaaayyy

so basically Aviary Sanctuary is exactly what it sounds like—Hermitcraft is a sanctuary for avian players to avoid being hunted for their wings.

Every Hermit is a different bird that fits well with them (I’ve also added Lizzie and Jimmy because I can, it just felt right)

might post art of this idk

please suggest who should be what bird i can’t decide on most of them i need helpppp

when disney runs out of movies to 3D/live action-ify and prequel/sequel the heck out of, I hope we get a full factory reset.

I would have been the first one in theaters if Mufasa was animated like the og movie. It could’ve had the budget of the direct to dvd sequel and I would have watched it. I haven’t been to a theater in years

imagine idk Moana? Frozen? Encanto? (what even are the recent good disney movies?) but animated like “the renaissance era” Or, you know, just completely new stories 2D animated (not like Wish. Wish doesn’t count.)

i would also like to direct everybody’s attention to the Tinker Bell brand that’s just been left in the dust. Those movies were my childhood, bring em back. Reboot the whole series with the books even!

at some point the bare minimum will not be enough

FEBUWHUMP 2025 PROMPT LIST

this year's prompts were chosen through an open suggestion poll (in which we received over 4,000 prompts) and a subsequent vote, where 5,019 votes were submitted. the top 28 make up the core prompts, and the febuwhump mod's favourites that remain have become the alternates. the first prompt in the 28, "vocal chords", was our number one prompt of the vote, with 1,625 total votes.

i am so insanely excited to see what you all create with these prompts, and i hope they're inspiring enough to trigger a whole month's worth of creativity for you!

as an extra added challenge, some creators will be undertaking another, smaller goal, of including apples in each of their prompt fills as an ode to the wildly popular prompt suggestion of "apples" that didn't make it through to the poll. this is totally optional, but is a good extra challenge if you'd like to take part in it!

i like to think that there’s at least some watchers who prefer the taste of love/positive emotions (much like humans and cilantro i guess) and that’s why Double Life was even greenlit

at the end of the day the Watchers were meant to be the audience and as much as we joke about being allergic to happiness, some variety has got to be nice

"What emotions do the Watchers find gross?" "Love."

Trafficshippers start grinning

Cute Wild Life Snail Headcanon

All of them actually have personality if you really think about it

geminisnail is chill and friendly but keeps up the pretense of being dangerous, same with Slimeishbeans

escargo is as ruthless and bloodthirsty as a vex. Lil guy was on a mission.

snumbo is my favorite; he seemed so polite, a lot like mumbo actually, i don’t think he tried too hard and i bet two nickels he actually felt bad when mumbo literally jumped on him and died

gary is a troll. I think he really could have killed grian in that mineshaft but he wanted to be a little menace. Very watcher like

Skizz Ren Martyn and Tango’s snails were having fun and thought of it as a game. Pearl Impulse and Jimmy’s snails were like this too but got frustrated easily when they weren’t winning

i think the rest just treated it like a simple 9-5 to be honest

[naio-j]

i will probably never write this fic so here ya go fellow fanfic writers:

Double Life AU where Grian and Big B, and Scar and Ren, are soulmates instead (And in dramatic irony Grian finds himself wishing he was Scar’s soulmate)

my additional notes on this read: “In which Scar is oblivious, Ren is dramatic, the Watchers ignore BigB, and Grian is jealous. But what else is new?” Do with that what you will.
