#Fae smallishbeans

[rosegoldenatlas]

Dear all fans of Joel Smallishbeans, here is your weekly reminder that C!Joel is definitely a fae who is desperately trying to learn how to lie to fit in with everyone else.

Reasoning/evidence:

Look me in the eyes and tell me he doesn't give dragonfly vibes

He pulls tricks a lot! You know what else does that??? Fae!

He's a bad liar, fae trait.

He's a smol boy

His character traits change in fandom and canon spaces to match with the biome or habitat he's in. Body changing to fit nature?? Nature fae moment.

He has pulled so many people so fast, you know what creature is known to be inhumanly beautiful and charismatic? That's right. Fae.

Pretending to be a god is such a faerie move.

In esmp s2 he was the one to make Jimmy a sentient toy and convinced the entire server to play along. Fae curse also fae move.

Esmp s1 he was unaffected by Xornoth's magic, I dunno about you but that sounds like fae bullshit to me :/

Esmp s1 again, he worshipped a MOTHER TREE that BROUGHT LIFE to HIM AND HIS ENTIRE AREA. If you need a reminder, FAE ARE BORN OF PLANTS 9 TIMES OUT OF 10 AND FIERCELY PROTECT NATURE SURROUNDING THEM.

Esmp s1 again, He brought nature an plants into a mesa. Like c'mon man. He's a fae.

Esmp s1 again again, he hated Scott, a canon faerie from what I assume to be the winter court? (Judging by Rivendell) Joel would probably be from the summer court. Obviously as both are on two ends of the extremes they wouldn't clash very well.

-------------

Fae Joel lore and my 'evidence' aka fuck you he's a fae.

Joel is a summer court fae! Which also means he is Seelie. My reasoning for this is a combination of two things: personality traits and aesthetic

For personality he aligns with a lot of the Summer fae traits, he is kind and more benevolent than a fae from the Unseelie courts but is still capable of a lot more cruelty than the spring court. Fae of the summer court usually are rather frivolous and hotheaded. They hold politeness and manners highly but not as high as say the spring court. Fae from the summer court are more willing to cut losses and not force life. (Ex if the see a dying animal they would be quicker to put it out of its misery and feed it to another animal rather than spent long hours of trying to save it. They acknowledge death as a part of life and see more of the negative side of things but still choose to focus of positive aspects. Summer fae tend to lead a more arrogant and hedonistic lifestyle but do not enjoy pleasure at the expense of another happiness. They are more willing to spend time helping another than themselves.

As for aesthetic: Summer court colors are Forrest greens of healthy plants and rich golds an oranges of the sun, they also lean towards richer pinks and reds than spring fae. So you know, Mezalea, Stratos, his normal green?

----------

Headcanons to go with Fae!Joel

-Joel is definitely a fae who will spend decades learning how to lie like other creatures. He's still terrible at it because fae can't lie, but he has spent so much of his life around humans and other creatures able to lie that he has the capacity for sarcasm and white lies. He's still working on real lying though (see: Secret Life smp)

-He is immortal until proven otherwise.

-He's a dragonfly based fae with wings and antennae to match

-When Scott killed him in third life he definitely damaged Joel's wings and Joel wasn't able to heal them until he was off server. So he didn't really like him.

ADD IT To THE FAE JOEL PROPAGANDA

A smallishbeans design!!!!

He and Lizzie are carnivorus fairy hybrid thingies (hence the sharper teeth) but Joel hides his wings most of the time which is such a shame bc they are PRETTYYY!

This is how i tell you all these three are friends (ref to the iconic ll bit)

[applepixls]

absolutely loving the permitmaster episode, especially the melon task because of how everyone did it

joel got more and more panicked with each slice he ate and eventually started punching grian and cub to get them to want to punch him even though they were already punching him on request

cleo broke it and then it didn't drop as slices so they were being clever and assuming cub and grian had done something tricky while simultaneously being silly cause. silk touch axe. also "you can't see it therefore it doesn't exist. object permanence is a lie"

beef going all "ce n'est pas une pipe" and saying 'the melon's demolished its now melon slices?' and his very convenient lava

the sound effect in grian's pov for false loading after reading the task and then her deciding damaging herself to eat melon is more fun and therefore better than just throwing it away

joe shooting a rocket and saying "oh no it exploded" and committing to pretending the melon was gone

they're all crazy and i love them

Fae mountain

[dredgesnails]

I love to imagine the magic mountain bases all actually existing completely separately from each other in completely different time periods (almost), despite being physically in the same location.

In the ancient world, pyramids are constructed at the base of a huge volcano to honor the dead and worship old gods. A wide path leads to an entrance into the volcano, far enough in that the heat gets dangerous. Inside, sacrifices are made to the gods, to their king, offerings given up for the benefit of them all. The king is kind and forgiving, loyal to his people, asking for little and giving as much as he can. The gods however, are cruel, and all civilisations must fall eventually. For this one it's after a great eruption, one that shakes the earth with all the fury of the gods, that the pyramids become abandoned, left alone for centuries to erode. Over time new life grows, and thick jungles begin to hide the pyramids from view, until eventually, they’ve become a part of the natural landscape. Venture far enough in, however, and you might find remnants of the ancient civilisation: old writing in a language no one knows anymore, praises given to their old king; the remnants of ancient weapons and armour; the shapes of people who once lived forever preserved in ash and pumice.

It's the start of the industrial revolution, and rumours start spreading of an eclectic man and his steamrail full of exotic animals from across the globe. He’s a travelling zoo, of sorts, appearing in the strangest of places (as long as there's a railway line, he'll be there), areas it logically shouldn't be able to reach. He’s got all sorts of animals, from dolphins and turtles to strange, mysterious beasts. Where does he keep them all when they're not on the train? Some say he doesn't exist. others insist he does, that he lives underneath a mountain no one dares to visit. It's an active volcano, they say, dangerous to go near. If anyone dared to explore they might stumble upon the largest, most diverse collection of animals they've ever seen, and, most bizarrely, a large steam locomotive that runs on its own railway track, seemingly on a loop through the volcano itself. The tunnel is so dark the train disappears into it entirely. a young exploration group decide to find out for themselves, years later, and at first they think there's nothing there, until one of them stumbles upon the obvious remnants of a railway line, no longer in use but not so old that it's started to break down. Maybe he did exist after all...

In the late 1800s, a small fishing community establishes itself by the mountain. Electricity is new, and with the new machines and motors available to them the community quickly grows into a small village. Something is wrong, though. The rocks embedded in the mountain appear to resemble a skull more and more by the day, water streaming from one eye socket as though it’s crying. Underground passages and tunnels are found by the new residents, all leading to strange chambers. There's something in the water. A young man, one of the first in the village, disappears for a month, and when he returns, he's changed. He insists the ocean speaks to him, to everyone through him. He fishes for hours, days, weeks on end. When his madness begins infecting others, most gain the sense to stay away from him, but not everyone does. There's something in the water.

By the mid 1920s, the small fishing village is still standing, although most of the residents from four decades ago have since left. A young woman, traveling alone in her tiny fishing boat, docks at the village in need of repairs. What was meant to be a one night stay turns into days, then weeks, then months, as she begins to notice strange happenings in the village. A local artist has locked himself in his house, gone mad from something he found in the ocean. A scientist is experimenting with strange materials, and sometimes at night strange noises come from her house. There's something in the water. An older man speaks in tongues, driven mad by the sea. There's something in the water. The young fisher sees him occasionally, staring through her, unseeing. She's begun dreaming of ancient monsters in the depths of the water below her, reaching their long arms out and crushing her and everyone else. When she looks into the sea she can't see anything. It’s just inky blackness.

(No one knows how the village gets destroyed. One day it's here, and the next it's turned to rubble, razed to the ground by forces beyond human perception. It appears no one survived, but strangely, there's no trace of the small fishing boat the young woman had arrived in, nor of her body, and if anyone stopped for long enough in the wrecked city they might hear mumbling at night from underground, the mad ramblings of a man who has seen too much.)

Magic mountain row thrives in the early 2000s. They’ve beaten the Y2K bug (it really wasn't that much of a problem, anyway), business is booming at all the independent stores, and the local economy is better than ever. It doesn’t matter that not many people want to live here because new tech keeps Big Ron busy, and Willie Jr is old enough to start working at his father's shop, preparing himself to take over the business. The safe storage containers are always a little open, but nothing ever really goes missing, because no new people means everyone knows everyone. A young boy visits his neighbours for the last time before he leaves with his family; his dad's got a better job somewhere far away and they have to leave now, and besides it’s safer not to live by a barely-dormant volcano (it’s not as cool, though). His new neighbourhood has a lot more kids his age, but he can't help but miss the eccentric nature of his old neighbours. He returns to his childhood home twenty years later to find it empty. Most of magic mountain row is empty now, actually. There are a few places still open: Big Ron refuses to close up shop because Willie Jr, who has taken over the business now that his father's passed, still needs his help from time to time. Anyone still living here is merely clinging to a past they remember so fondly they can't adapt for the future. They're happy, though. They’re happy to remain here until it's their time to go.

In the not-so-distant future, a dense city is formed on the mountain. It started out as a smaller town, with traditional architecture and shrines dotted around the place, but as technology advanced and society progressed it grew and evolved into towering skyscrapers, holographic billboards, a rail system that winds through buildings and above streets. Elements of the past still remain - lush gardens lined with cherry blossom trees, the old shrines and temples still standing, a mark of the city's history and longevity. The city stands the longest, weathers the strongest storms, grows and evolves and changes, but all must come to an end, eventually. A rumbling in the earth, a once-dormant volcano waking from its slumber. They have the tech to know it's coming, now, so they all flee before it can hit. Only one man stays behind. This is his city. This is his home. He built this entire place from the ground up, and he’s not going to leave it behind. He makes his way to one of the shrines. Praying to his goddess, he leaves her one final offering, and when the ash settles all trace of him is gone.

~

The apocalypse happens in a future beyond our reckoning. A city lies, abandoned by most, on top of the ruins of civilisations that came before. Once a lively hub of activity and tech and innovation, the city has become a ghost town, occupied only by the artificial intelligences that had driven humanity out. They wander aimlessly, mimicking the behaviours of the humans they used to watch and help, protecting the inner core of their city that keeps everything, including themselves, alive. The humans reside elsewhere, in a bunker resembling the old world, with more vegetation and life than the city had despite being hidden underground. The city’s architects reassure everyone that they’ll be able to return someday soon. The one who designed the robots, a man more cyber than human by this point, just needs to fix a few issues with their programming. He doesn’t want to destroy them but he might have to. His partner, who designed most of the city, will need to commence repairs before anyone can live in the city again. So they leave, vowing to fix the city so that everyone can return to society. No one knows they will never return.

Fae Joel and Shadowfae Lizzie the beloved

[foolofatook001]

Joel grins without any of his usual good humor, and she catches sight of canines that are longer, sharper than usual. Ah, it’s been a long time since she’s seen him like this— not since he first came courting, still very much wild from the Hunt. The arena has definitely taken hold of him.

She wonders what will happen when it fully takes her. 

She thinks she might enjoy it.

But out loud, she says, “You should probably go, before anyone shows up and gets the wrong idea.”

“We wouldn’t want that,” says Joel with another flash of his sharpened teeth, but he steps back anyway. He hops up onto the parapet again, then looks back over his shoulder. “You know, your hound was a king, the last go round. A bloody and vicious one.”

“And now he’s a knight, bound to a queen,” Lizzie answers, with perfect equanimity. 

Joel scoffs and disappears over the edge of the parapet into the night.

Smallishbeans hadcanon/au that connects every series he in like a spiderweb of idk anymore

sorry its all in image form I did this while on a four hour drive and it didn't wanna save.

Anyways that's all of it for now. As you can tell I love fae folklore and putting my own spin on it. Byee

[give-grian-rights]

i think something that really adds to it is Iskall's casual mention of thinking he met Joel at Minecon or something and Joel saying that absolutely was not him. did Iskall meet some guy lying about being Smallishbeans . did. did Iskall make that up. did Iskall get a false memory of this. hello ?

i think that the funniest thing about the swedishbeans saga so far is picturing it from joel's point of view because. okay. imagine. you are joel smallishbeans. you are new to this whole hermitcraft thing. you've met iskall like, twice, and he's been kind of weird every time, but you're kind of weird back so you guess it's fine or whatever. you leave for vacation. you come back. someone has sent you dozens of unsolicited love letters and as much as you joke about etho it's probably not him. you find out it's iskall. you go to confront him to figure out hey, what the hell is this about? he gives a dramatic speech about you being in love and having left a sign on a prank you didn't do (and didn't actually leave) with a kiss on it, and how that means you're in love. you're just like. nah, man, i don't... know you? i have a wife. the man wails about how you're an awful person who has been leading him on, a terrible trickster. you aren't entirely certain what you had to do with any of this. you get home. he's mailed you bad breakup poetry now and declared that he's moved on but you haven't. you're still vaguely confused as to what has happened. then he invites you back to his house to build a statue of yourself so that he quote "doesn't need you anymore". i cannot emphasize enough you have talked to this man like twice. gem accuses you of being in a love spider's web and you honestly can't say she's wrong you're just confused about why everyone thinks this is in any way your fault,

Changeling! Scott stuff

Some lil ideas for Changeling! Scott

(my first idea and this is its continuation)

Scott Smajor was a name he made up during X Life. He heard "Lizzie LDShadowlady" and "Joel Smallishbeans" so he came up with "Scott Smajor"

Completely awkward during X Life. He struggled to be a human so badly. Thankfully he was on his own for a while so no one could really see his awkwardness until he ran into someone.

When he's alone, he does go into his changeling form and is still a black bug changeling not a rainbow changeling since he used to serve Queen Crysalis.

He loves forms where he can fly, like being a starborn, since it makes him feel like his changeling self rather than being in that form.

During Limited Life, Jimmy finds out he's a changeling and realises what Scott does and it tears such a wedge between the two, hence the whole "Say I love you back!" "You have 30 seconds" bit.

Jimmy still doesn't trust him due to knowing the truth no matter what Scott does nor the amount of apologies he has made.

Jimmy understands why but he still doesn't forgive Scott.

Nobody else has caught on that he's a Changeling yet. The Watchers are a bit suspicious of him and some of the Lifers and Empires members too.

He does eventually go back home where he becomes a new Changeling and learns to share love, rather than take it.

(this but he has blue eyes)

This does happen before Secret & Real Life where he's more accepting in a way that Jimmy doesn't want to be his flower husband anymore and is learning to let go. He may drop a couple of hints to it but doesn't go deep into it.

He has gotten better at being human, but slip ups can still happen. He has gone days where he doesn't eat or drink since he's feeding off of love (before he's reformed), the occasional forgetting that he's human and saying non human stuff or acting non human-like.

He's been spotted moving on all fours as a human on occasions. It's still confusing even to this day.

His Scottish accent is his way of being undercover in case any other chngelings show up.

Scott's so used to talking in a Scottish accent, he forgets that it's fake and not how he actually sounds so when he returned home, he had to force himself to go back to his old voice, which he now despises.

some basic information for the players in my evo server prison au.

the way this is set up is:

Name - race: [zombie, human, elf, listener, etc] [x / x means hybrid] [??? means unknown] [tbd means to be determined] - conditions: [where they were before the Watchers transferred them to the Evo server]

some information I don't know yet because I either need to do a little research or I just haven't decided on it. for the conditions part - most everyone was added to the Evo server by the Watchers, but the Listeners / Jimmy have added at least one player (Scott).

some indented sections may have multiple names due to them being in the server already (aka original evo server players) or being brought in together (imp & skizz)

Original Evo server Players Grian - race: elf (because of his link skin in the beginning of evo) Jimmy Solidarity - race: Listener (previously human) Martyn IntheLittleWood - race: druid Pearlescent Moon - race: demigod? (child of the moon) BigB - race: ??? / tbd

Etho Slab - race: ??? / tbd - conditions: taken from his hardcore survival world

Cleo - race: zombie (previously human) - conditions: idk

Scar - race: human / vex - conditions: taken from the Hermitcraft server (early season 6)

Bdubs - race: human? / possessed by a demon (shadowdubs) - conditions: taken from Hermitcraft season 5 (tbd if by the Watchers or by the Listeners / Jimmy)

Impulse - race: demon - conditions: taken from the naked & scared server with Skizzleman Skizzleman - race: angel - conditions: taken from the naked & scared server with Impulse [note: both were dropped into the evo server in their underwear] [note: between seasons 12-13 of naked & scared]

Joel Smallishbeans - race: human / tbd - conditions: taken from his private world where he lived with Lizzie and their dog

Tango Tek - race: human / blazeborne - conditions: taken from the Hermitcraft server (late season 6 - early season 7)

Scott Smajor - race: starborne - conditions: he was a relatively small mass of stars floating around in space when Jimmy found him and brought him to the evo server

Rendog - race: human / canine - conditions: tbd

Mumbo Jumbo - race: human? - conditions: taken from his redstone testing world

Lizzie (ld)Shadowlady race: human / fae conditions: taken from the same private world that Joel lived in before he was taken from her
