Do you think Yarnaby loved Tag? Do you think he thought you were playing? Do you think he forgot, just for a moment, what happened to him? How long has it been since he was allowed to run? Do you think he was happy to chase you after being confined for so long? Do you think he was so happy he forgot he was easily flammable?

And is it just me, or did he reach out to the player when he was on fire like a human, like a child seeking comfort, before he died?

Okay can we talk about Scott and his relationship with love and sacrifice throughout the seasons? Because like, there are some goddamn patterns First there's Third Life, and I like to say that this is Scott at his best. And by best I mean most emotionally available. Scott is very expressive during this season, because he loves Jimmy, and for that is keeping the peace. Scott is the mediator, he wants a happy life and he does his goddamn best to keep that life. And when he's forced to choose a side he does it with the people he's already friends with. And then Jimmy dies and he is heartbroken. And then when the self-sacrificing starts. Like Third Life is the definitive worst Scott has done and that's because he was entirely throwing caution out the window. He grieves Jimmy and then decides that it was due to him not being there, that if only he had been there (despite already dying and not having control of the situation) things would've been different. So he spends the rest of the season like a suicide-bomber, doing his best for his remaining friends. Then there's last life, and this is when Scott becomes closed off. After the grief of Jimmy and knowing how much feeling things hurts, he plays it different. He befriends Pearl because she's new and has something to give him, plus, she's volatile, a wild card. Chaos that can defend herself. So he treats it like a vacation. Of course he's still cautious, but now he's detached himself from his emotions. Obviously he stills cares about Pearl, she is his supposes reason for winning. But the way he treats emotions with Pearl and Jimmy are very different. He was way more earnestly open about his feelings with Jimmy. And when he decides to just go red from the boogeyman, that's another case of him loving his friends too much to go after them, and the only way he can help is to take action. When he wins it's for Pearl. But he doesn't end it with Pearl, he ends it with his pet axolotl. Something that is far less telling of his care for people.

And then when Double Life rolls around he realizes how much she actually cared about him. And that scares him. That scares him right off. The idea that if she gets him to open his heart again that he'll be hurt again. So he goes to Cleo who he knows won't care, they've always been closed off and sarcastic, they won't care if he upkeeps bonds or not, they won't care about the lovey-dovey. And throughout the whole season he's pushing Pearl away because he's scared of being opened back up. And at the end he knows he's done her wrong, so he does the thing Scott Smajor does best, decides that she deserves life more than him. Limited Life is god's most unhealthy coping mechanism ever. He went and got himself a surrogate husband who would ignore everything that would happen that season. Martyn does not give a damn about previous seasons unless your name is Ren. Scott picked the guy most likely to betray him and went "hey we're both sad and hurt, let's team up" and was sooo ready for Martyn to kill him. AND HE STILL CARES ABOUT HIM. He still checks up on him and helps with his Birthday and asks Martyn to kill him because he thinks his only use is dying for his loved ones. AND he offers up his life to both Cleo AND Jimmy this season. He is so twisted up in the past this season, and in an awkward phase of healing with Pearl. Secret Life is I think when we reach peak-standard happy-emotionless Scott. He's in his band and he is living life and ignoring the horrors. He's a friendly calm, collected, not showing fear guy. He says "I love you" to everyone and is infuriatingly collected when people spend entire sessions out to kill him. Of course he sacrifices himself to Gem TWICE this season. He has a problem. Real life is Pearl reconciliation hour. And then Wild Life. My god, Wild Life. Cleo is old reliable, Impulse is nice to team with, and he made up with Pearl. And for the first bit he's doing the norm, he's close, but not outwardly expressing it in tangible ways. And he's mister peacekeeper. But pearl and Impulse are messing it up, he's trying to be friends with Gem and Joel but his teammates are ruining this. And he's not the universal best friend. He's not the guy you casually hand around in his base with. He's teamed with Mister and Miss Chaos. AND HE ACQUIESCES, he goes "yeah, burn down their house. Yeah, kill that guy". His teammates, which he knows are the problem but goddammit Scott is loyal , so he decides Gem and Joel are ruining this. THEY have stripped away his persona. His trustworthy-ness. He guns it after both of them, his happy cracks and spills out anger. It's the second worst he's placed because he stopped trying to lie and listened to his emotions. +he's gotta let Pearl kill him, tis tradition. It's the fact that Scott within the life series is hated by the watchers due to his ability to LOVE. It's the fact they don't feed well off him because he doesn't hold tangible grudges. It's the fact that Scott loves so desperately and bad that he has tied his own well-being to how well others are doing, if Scott is doing well he gives it to his teammate because then it must be HIS fault that they're worse off. By being too nice and too calm, people don't realize his connections with people are real. And if they don't love him back then he won't have to be heartbroken. Scott has weaponized love, against the watchers, against his peers, and most importantly, against himself.

if you dont draw your favorite mycts as some type of creature are they even your favorite?

Like is it just me that looks at creator’s minecraft skin and goes “ah yes. Creature.” when drawing them??

[naio-j]

me as a writer: Oh no I can’t write that, somebody else already has

me as a reader: hell yes give me all the fics about this one scenario. The more the merrier

[naio-j]

ok but “characters not content creators” is self explanatory.

you don’t have to clarify “i don’t support the cc” and you shouldn’t feel bad for writing/reading about a character made by a bad person. I don’t care if it seemed like the cc and c acted one in the same, fanon will never be the real thing. That character is basically your oc now.

For the love of artistry, please stop deleting/editing the fanfics you made. That is your work and you should not be ashamed of it. Orphan the work if you must, but your history and past dedication should not be erased. Especially not because of someone ruining what once was a comfort to you.

I just came to the realization that clouds have very short lifespans

Look at a cloud. When was it formed? When will it die? We must have all seen a baby cloud at one point. They are gone now.

[naio-j]

wait guys i think i cracked it. All this time you needed to specify for your enemies’ downfall to be IN YOUR OWN TIMELINE

no wonder I keep getting all these close calls!

gosh the other mes are living their best life rn

[naio-j]

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!

[naio-j]

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… 👀

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
