(reblogs do more than likes!)

I'm rewatching hermitcraft season 7, right, and there's something so hilarious about the fact that the leader of the mycelium resistance and the head of the HEP are neighbours.

Can you imagine?

Grian invades the HEP base and gets annihilated by the ravagers multiple times, gets back home to the Mansion to see Scar laughing over at his village. Scar gets trolled by the fake base and comes back with singed clothes and all Grian does is laugh his head off.

It also helps sell the fact that this is all good fun for them- they come back at the end of the day to laugh at each other with no animosity between them.

Or if you spun it to sound more dramatic, it's like there's a peace treaty between them for when they're not at the battlefield (the shopping district). They take their wins and losses gracefully and don't bother or gloat to each other about it.

It's hilarious, and I love them.

(this was absolutely inspired by the fact that after Scar finds the mycelium base with Mumbo, Grian actually offers to show him the entrance :3)

still thinking about New Orleans in late spring, which prompted this impromptu improvisation of our favourite vampire lullaby during this stormy night, pardon its loudness through the open window (Daniel Hart, your chords are absolutely delicious)

Melody Breathing🎶

You may use this for any use, just please credit me.

Melody Breathing is derived from Sound Breathing and focuses on smooth movements, flexibility, and speed. It has 12 forms and instead of "forms" this uses "scales".

Scale of Harmony (Wa no Scale):

Practitioners move in fluid, harmonious motions. Their attacks flow seamlessly.

Effect: Enhances coordination and balance, allowing precise strikes.

Scale of Crescendo (Zōka no Scale):

This scale builds momentum. The user's speed gradually increases during battle.

Effect: Accelerates movement and attack speed over time.

Scale of Vibrato (Biburāto no Scale):

Practitioners create ripples in the air, confusing opponents. Their movements waver like a musical vibrato.

Effect: Disrupts enemy focus and perception.

Scale of Adagio (Adājo no Scale):

In this slow-paced scale, the user conserves energy. They remain calm and composed.

Effect: Reduces fatigue and allows sustained combat.

Scale of Legato (Regāto no Scale):

Practitioners glide effortlessly, connecting attacks seamlessly. Their movements are like a continuous melody.

Effect: Smooth transitions between offensive and defensive maneuvers.

Scale of Staccato (Sutakāto no Scale):

This rapid, punctuated scale focuses on short bursts of movement. Attacks strike like staccato notes.

Effect: Quick, unexpected strikes catch opponents off guard.

Scale of Chromatics (Kurōma no Scale):

Practitioners shift between different styles and techniques rapidly. Their adaptability surprises foes.

Effect: Versatility in combat, allowing them to respond to various situations.

Scale of Lyricism (Ririzumu no Scale):

This scale emphasizes grace and elegance. The user's movements resemble a poetic dance.

Effect: Enhanced agility and flexibility.

Scale of Ostinato (Osutināto no Scale):

Practitioners repeat specific sequences of attacks relentlessly. Their strikes become predictable yet unstoppable.

Effect: Overwhelms opponents with relentless assault.

Scale of Cadenza (Kadenza no Scale):

The pinnacle of Melody Breathing. Practitioners reach a state of perfect flow, transcending physical limitations.

Effect: Temporarily achieves peak speed, reflexes, and precision.

Scale of Echo (Ekō no Scale):

This scale echoes the user's movements, creating afterimages. Opponents struggle to track the real attack.

Effect: Generates illusions, confusing enemies.

Scale of Encore (Onkō no Scale):

The final scale channels all energy into a climactic strike. It's a one-shot, decisive move.

Effect: Unleashes a devastating attack, beheading multiple demons or one powerful demon quickly.

OK, surely I can't be the only one thinking that the melody from You're a Mean One, Mr Grinch is just amazing? I mean, listen to it, is it not heartbreakingly beautiful? It is syncopated in just the right way, it is lyrical without being too sweet, it is just... good.

Give it a listen!

My happy place when I dream

[jt1674]

[melodiclune]

It starts eerily calm.

And he craves revenge, more than anything. It's too late to search for allies, friends- people. Only redemption for himself exists now.

Tango falls, and he feels satiated, however briefly. He goes around, person by person- trusting no one, yet communicating and trading with everyone. As is his job, of course, as an honest Trader Scars' owner.

Skizz is next. He lets him go, even though the bloodlust is there. He lets Joel take it- he's gotten a good fill of his betrayal for now.

("Scar sends his regards.")

A fond farewell, to perhaps the only place he ever called his own- Trader Scars' may be destroyed, but it lives on in him.

Bigb takes so, so many hits. It's so tempting to get him. But he lets it go- he has some cowards hiding up in the tower to deal with.

("He sounds like a wounded wild animal- I feel so bad! Let's put him out of his misery.")

Etho goes down. It's like the apocalypse all over again- this time it's permanent. The villainous behaviour once forced down his throat, now devouring him as he lets it consume all his goodwill.

Bigb falls- it's just as quick as every other death so far. Cleo is trapped- it's so easy, really, to drive the sword through her back as he watches her bleed out. ("Goodbye!")

They fall, fall, fall... and Scar is always there at the sight of the bloodshed.

(Except for the Watcher- he dies, completely away from any place Scar could influence. How odd.)

And then, it's down to two sides. Scar wonders briefly, about how he has worked with both. But he sticks with the side he's on already- after all, switching now would be too much work. There's better numbers on this side anyway.

("Who cares- we all die anyway. It's all nothing.")

Bdubs and Joel fall- all he can do is stare as they do, a small attempt at saving them not going any farther than their attempts at befriending him.

Shooting Impulse off feels good, like killing everyone else did. The bloodlust remains strong.

Pearl helps him damage Scott a hefty amount- and later Gem comes to them, tears in her eyes and blood on her hands. He knows what has happened. She looks renewed, but broken.

He drives the sword through Gem, and then there were two.

Of course, there was never a true alliance to begin with. He's too tired of everyone's half hearted promises to him anyway. Pearl falls- he barely notices, the zombie capturing his attention.

("Pearl- where are you?")

(The Watcher speaks from beyond the veil. "She's dead, Scar. You've won.")

"Well, that can't be right. How did the guy with no friends win?"

He laughs, a bitter one. The zombie is attacking him- he feels himself succumb to it, but the numb feeling is overpowering.

Out of muscle memory, he trudges his way to the beginning of it all. The end of it all. The secret keeper hands him health, like it always does. Does he need it anymore?

("Win Secret Life.")

Well. He's completed his task. Time to move on.

But he sits there, by the Secret Keeper. The sun is bright in the sky, the blood on his hands drying.

It ends, eerily calm.
