( the holiday sequel )

[renthedevil]

drew hermits that i don’t usually draw from memory today lol

[wasyago]

Please more Trail's gone cold au I'm begging you I need it just pour out every thought in your brain I want to hear it

hgdhhfbd i mean, sure why not

everything plot related is in the main post, there's nothing else really to tell. but i could share random details that didn't really fit into the lore drop. again tho, it's a small au and mostly an exploration of the concept, so there's not a lot.

❄️ gem and etho are siblings, i don't think it was mentioned anywhere? blood related and all that, they both have black hair, gem just dyes hers.

❄️ behind the scenes reasons for the order of deaths. generally i picked these three to be the main cast because i suddenly realized pet crew were just dungeon master and his two winners, and that was too crazy of a concept to not do anything with? so, tango as the main guy and actual master of the dungeon had to die first, seeing how he's the cave's favorite. pearl as the main explorer and as the one to unlock all the secrets had to die second, because she had to return to the dungeon / the cave to find out the truth, and she conquered it but never actually got out. and etho had to survive, because he's the "proper" winner and the one who actually escaped the dungeon with treasures.

❄️ lore reasons for the order of infection. tango you already know, but pearl and etho went in at the same time so in theory they had to start experiencing the effects together. but because etho was wearing a mask it did lessen the amount of sculk he inhaled, slowing down the process. wear masks kids!

and, well, you did say you wanted to hear every thought so. i really like the plot point of them leaving tango to die, so im gonna ramble a little about it. even just, the difference in their views on the situation is so satisfying to me. because tango had no idea something scary was happening to him! and for pearl and etho it was a life or death situation. and just-- they were talking about leaving tango and tango obviously, obviously, protested, because what the actual hell??? yes okay he's ill and a burden, but don't leave an ill guy to freeze to death in a cave, what is wrong with them????? or, okay, what is wrong with etho, pearl was against the idea. but, straight up tango did not plan for it to end this way, he had his whole life ahead of him and so many things ha still wanted to do! of course he cried when they left, what else was he supposed to do? thank etho for his awesome decision? be all cool and stoic and sacrifice himself? hell no, he didn't want to die, he never asked for this.

he did die tho, so. whomp whomp 🎺... i imagine he passed before pearl and etho even reached the stairs, so at least he didn't suffer for long. if he had a breakdown about being left alone he probably hyperventilated and inhaled like a ton more sculk, so that killed him even faster. must've sucked tho...

and then pearl, god, pearl.... she didn't encounter any dangers on the way back, since she wasn't trying to escape and the cave had no reason to be hostile towards her. but seeing how she was at the last stage before turning... she probably didn't get to tango before collapsing... not dying just yet, but too feverish and too weak to walk. but if tango was already back, he could very much go and find her. can you imagine the pure horror of drowning in your regrets as you slowly die and then having your supposedly already dead friend appear in front of you all cheery and oh so wrong. i dont know how much of tango is left in that thing, but the image of him sitting by pearl and holding her until she dies is so-- its haunting but it's sweet. and then there's still enough time to catch up with etho.

actually, gahhhh, all three pet povs are their own unique horror story and it's so good.

the horror of having to go through this terrifying experience, and then being the only survivor, knowing full well that the only reason you lived is because you left your friends to die, and there's no way of fixing it now.

the horror of everything falling apart around you because of miscommunication, and then the one time you decide to do it right you end up regretting every single decision and witnessing the direct result of your mistakes come for you.

the horror of being stupid... the horror of losing all control over your life and being betrayed in the moment of your most vulnerability, dying fully and utterly helpless.

this au is so sad but i love it so much...

okay wow that's enough for one post, ask more if you want tho!

[asexual-pancakes]

Here's some TIES concepts too! And a bonus cletho hehe

Found some Cleo sketches I made last year for a lil scrapped limited life au I had in my head.

[tatertato]

Can we have a small little list of everyone’s roles/parts in the circus? (My peanut brain is getting a little lost)

cirque de la vie AU powers/roles list!

i did a poll on the gem and pearl post on whether or not i should release a full list, and guess which option won!

the results came out really close, so if you want to wait for the comics to drop, i advise you to simply ✨look away✨

this list is going to be formatted as: Name - Circus Act/Role - Power

some will be on this list without their powers, or with ambiguous descriptions of their powers until i finish their backstory comics because i really do want those ones to be a surprise, so look out for the update!

some of them i am still on the fence about as well, so the comic may not always line up with this list in the future, but i'll do my best to keep it up to date.

with all that out of the way, let's get into it!

Management

martyn - manager/organizer - enhanced hearing

ren - $the funding$ - none he's just rich (some form of smaller nobility)

The Performers

cleo - knife thrower - doesn't have magic, but alive somehow??? (hint: it has something to do with bdubs...)

etho - magician - has magic but hates using it (rumor has it that only bdubs knows what he's hiding)

bdubs - doubles as knife thrower and magician's assistant - something to do with time. no one knows exactly what, but sometimes he disappears for weeks on end. scar usually steps in as the replacement.

jimmy - aerial acrobat - wings/flight

grian - aerial acrobat - same as jimmy, but sometimes scar says his vision is uncanny

scar - ringmaster - jedi mind trick (he can convince anyone of anything depending on how strong their mind is)

lizzie - underwater escape artist - don't tell anyone, but she can definitely breathe underwater. the escapes are still pretty impressive tho

joel - stilts (11 foot joel is canon) - no power, he's just lizzie's supportive husband (more kenergy than jimmy)

gem - happy clown - deer traits, mostly enhanced agility

pearl - sad clown - doesn't like elaborating, but she disappears during full moons...

scott - tightrope walker - read the comic when it comes out lmao

impulse - juggler - power still very much in development, but he can talk to/see/control ghosts to a degree (inspired by the phasmo streams)

skizz - strongman - enhanced healing

tango - fire breather - literally breathes fire. very high internal temperature, good for winters.

The Production Team

mumbo - lighting (it's still the late 1800s-ish so the lighting is very rudimentary- that said, mumbo is a bit of a genius, so the shows still look pretty amazing) - is almost an unlimited source of electricity (he's a little eccentric, makes a big deal about how much of a human he is, which has sparked curiosity, but never enough for anyone to pry into. grian seems to know something.)

bigb- concessions (he sells cookies!) - everything he bakes tastes amazing! (he swears that's his only power, but he has a habit of leaving rooms through doors that weren't there before...)

pearl (again) - sets and props, she decorates the stage!

joel (again) - makes the boxes and tanks for lizzie to escape from

and that is all! i might have some hermits or empires folks make cameos every so often, but this is the main cast!

[a-bucket-in-the-void]

hm.. would you like to just... talk about your au idea? even just a base. a starting platform..

also ty for sending asks about my au!

i honestly really don’t have much lol but when i did talk about it i was just kinda trying to get stuff out there so i'm gonna use this as kinda like a place to clean that up a bit

ok so…

superheroes are already a thing to begin with. im not really sure how sense there are lots of world building things you can do with it but i imagine they’re all sort of vigilantes kinda like think classic superhero comics. idk i can clean that up a bit more later

everyone in this au is based off this last session of wild life mostly

the tuff boys are like your classic comedic relief dysfunctional villain team, a nuisance to anyone who wants to get anything done really. etho engineered his own super jump boots and comically large hammer. tango has super speedy roller skates (which were entirely engineered by him and he definitely didn’t get bdubs to enchant them with his time powers definitely not)(oh and also i like to think that he has red goggles for eye protection when he’s in his in his super suit), and bdubs has a magic clock that gives him time powers because uh yeah :]

scott is a respected super hero i think maybe one who’s actively working with the government. uh his powers will be from a magic amulet too why not. as you can see i’m just kinda making this shit up. he’s mostly in reconnaissance because of his powers but i think in his day to day life he’s a big public figure, maybe a pop star like from gem and the scotts or something. he stills does do non undercover superhero work and when he does he’s almost always accompanying pearl

speaking of…

pearl would be like your friendly neighborhood superhero like spiderman, helping people across the street, making an appearance at the local middle school, etc etc as well as ya know actual superhero stuff. her wings are her own design after scott was jokingly making fun of her cause he can shape shift into anything and then she figured out how to make those wings out of shear spite and commitment to the bit

while we’re on the subject of that alliance…

cleo, also known as zombie cleo queen of the underground, is essentially a mob boss villain, aided by her small army of lackeys nicknamed ‘the hoard’. if the tuff guys are the kind of comic book villian to fail robbing a bank cleo is the kind to kidnap a famous scientist. they don’t do it just for fun tho, they’re more of a service for hire, willing to do anything for anyone at a price. she’s gathered her lackeys through a mix of blackmail, debts, fear, loyalty, and other such means

slightly adjacent to them is bigb. bigb is a bit of an enigma, only seen in the shadows and never giving a straight answer. you can always tell it’s him though by his stiff gray skin and too many bright golden eyes. and also his large twiggy body guards

uh this is getting a lot longer than i thought it would be lol so i will get to the rest the guys later if i ever remember to do that

wait i forgot to do impulse-

[wingerwind]

Finally! Tuff Guys designs! They’re done! (Really wanted to get this out after session 3 before Tango was perma-dead, but luckily he is still here with us)

Obligatory ramble under the cut warning:

Bdubs looks very wonky but maybe that fits his character. If you squint you could say it was done on purpose. His pupils are permanently dilated. I don’t really know why I have this headcanon, but like…it feels wrong to have him just be a normal guy, you know? He’s like…weird-ish. Maybe not as obviously weird as Tango, but… remember his brief stint as a god during the Empires crossover? Yeah, I do. I just need to make SOME part of him vaguely inhuman. I feel like it fits with his big eyes, too. A combination of mascara and dilated pupils (I did not mean to make it look like he was on drugs but I guess that checks out too)

Now that I’m looking at Etho (eight heads tall) next to other characters (mostly seven heads tall) I realize that his small head makes him look very strange. HOWEVER I am probably just projecting as someone who is eight heads tall and always looks weird in photos (esp selfies) because despite being the closest to the camera I look like I’m further away at the same time. Also, despite Etho being blown up by a creeper his clothes have actually fared well and maybe that is favoritism. (Who, me? Favoritism?? Never) I couldn’t get rid of his mask, though. Come on.

Etho and Tango are both very much party in the back right now. They both got exploded from behind so the backs of their clothing are pretty much demolished. What you see visible of Etho’s original jacket, for example, is basically the only thing left. Just the right half and sleeve. Tango’s in the same boat but he got creative and decided to move the front of his vest thing (the only part which survived) around to cover his back which was very uncovered. His outfit is held together with hopes and dreams and probably some duct tape.

Tango’s pose was an absolute nightmare to draw, btw. I like how it turned out tho. (I actually REALLY like all the little design details in his hair…mostly the funny little tufts on his cheeks. Kinda like sideburns? I guess?)

[zhukzucraft]

Hi I absolutely love your banner!!!! Did you make it yourself ?

thank you!!! and yeah i did (well except for "Etho" haha)

it's a mess but it was fun to try out all the different artstyles

i fully drew everyone in the back row too, even tho they're mostly covered up. So i plan to post them as separate pieces whenever i go too long w/o drawing something new

[tatekane]

I've been reading the comments on reddit about the megabases and burnout, and the take that megabases are "facades", just there to look pretty with no function. Read that continuously it gets exhausting.

I don't know how to form my thoughts I'll just dump it all here:

First eyyyy Scar giving props again to Pearl and Bdubs that they aren't MC builders anymore they've ascended to great artists.

That leads me to the thought of megabases, there are ppl in HC who treats MC as a canvas, they genuinely enjoy building and if making megabases is their thing let em, no need to harp on that it has no function, yes it does it's their outlet and most importantly their art. If someone is building something big just to follow an imagined template in HC that's their misconception and if a viewer is complaining about this, there are hermits they can watch that has a different take, like Zed (have you seen the zedvancements?! amazing), Joe (tho he was building the massive pinball machine this season, it was a passion project for him), Etho, xB, Beef (his maps were mega xD, he loves doing it tho).

I remember Bdubs in s7 he was building his wonderful town and Grian told him it wasn't a megabase so he built his mountain and massive castle (btw is this why ppl thinking HC is about megabases?) Bdubs never appears to burnout when he's building. His solo series "Building with Bdubs" he's even challenging himself to build massive... my point is, there are ppl who geniunely likes building and ppl thumbing their nose at it are hurting the builders of HC.

Grian is the most prominent one who has megabase burnout, he always enjoy building when they are novel or is tied with lore. Grumbot, his bottle under the ocean, his stores, treesa, Cherry Tree in a pot, etc. Maybe stick with that (these are mostly relatively smaller builds).

The burnout comes from self-inflicted "rules" like megabases and what "content" will make the viewers engaged. Content is something they have to deal with because it's their job... they just need to do content that they enjoy. I'm pretty sure the hermits are brainstorming in their meetings. They will come up with something good.

AND I see this a lot too on reddit, ppl who are asking "Isn't HC vanilla?" passive-aggressively pointing at DO2's doors, cards, keys etc. now if you made Tango do those too in map form or have him make more farms for unique items for the treasure/shards, imagine the restocking... Tango would definitely burnout especially with how much those doors/custom items made him happy. He has done A LOOOOT for season 9. It irks me when ppl question if they are vanilla.

Let the hermits have their custom item models for their hats/elytra/weapons it adds something to their content and those simple things invigorates them and we enjoy their silliness with it.

*cue Bdubs gasping* "but we're vanilla!" when they requested for rain/snow to be shut off when they were ice racing.

[puer-aurea]

been thinking abt a fully fleshed out mercenary au since i posted that oneshot for sixth day of christmas so.... heres a drabble

jimmy and martyn are, ofc, human mercenaries who call themselves the big dogs so they can seem scarier than they really are. theyre mostly homeless theres a rumour abt a witch who lives in the woods and everyone thinks its lizzie but when they show up shes like "oh no thats scar!" and points to her very eccentric and flamboyant neighbor who lives across the river. scar looks NOTHING like a witch but when you go in, you come back out with exactly the potion you wanted, several others you didnt actually need, significanctly less money than what you went in with, and absolutely no memory of actually being inside and making the purchase. hes incredibly suspicious but godDAMN do his potions and crystals work well skizz owns a building plaza named the heart foundation where he rents out sections to people for their stores (yk like those buildings that are connected stores?? i really hope this makes sense). tango is his assistant as well as bigb but bigb is super weird and disappears a lot. tango was the one to suggest the coffee shop idea that martyn overheard. skizz is an angel and tango is an imp lizzie and scar own one of the spaces where they sell very normal things like farm produce and things that would usually be hard for the other members of the community to get like amethyst and food enchanted with elven magic. as well as very specific bones lizzie has found (no, she will NOT tell you where she got them, yes they are organic, she declines to answer if they are ethically sourced). scar is an elf which is why he's able to sell elven enchanted food. the roomies own one of the store spaces and mostly sell wool products but theyve started farming cotton in hopes of expanding their market. they live together on a farm with a fence covered in vines surrounding it so the animals can wander about sometimes. since they sell wool products, they have a lot of sheep, so when they need the sheep back in their pen they hire mercenaries to do it for them. cleo is the only zombie in the community and, while grian was mentioned as an avian in the oneshot, hes actually going to be a fae. everyone thinks etho is a human but he barely leaves home so cleo and grian are the only ones who know for sure whether or not he is gem is the girl who just moved in with the dream of starting a band. she ends up with an imp and an angel both named scott and they call themselves gem and the scotts. they rent one of skizz's spaces for a studio and gem lives in the apartment above it. impulse, scott the imp, lives in a cave, and scott the angel lives in a cottage on the edge of the woods (so not as far in as lizzie and scar) the mounders live in 4 big old creepy houses that look completely different on the inside than they do outside. its also a 'gated' community but they dont care enough to enforce it. mumbo and pearl are both vampires, bdubs is a fae, and joel is an elf. ren is also around to add more people to their little community even tho this uses the alliances made in secret life. he lives in a smaller house a little ways away from scott's cottage. he seems human enough but theres a rumor that he's a werewolf. no one really knows what bigb and lizzie are, scott even introduces them to gem as the 'suspicious weirdos' and cleo and grian joke that not even they know what they are.

[chillychive]

Hi! You mentioned we could ask any questions so I was wondering who is on the bridge? Who are the highest ranking officers on board?

Did the protagonists get on the ship all at the same time? And, if not whose the newest on the ship?

Also, what in which year/time frame are you setting the story? (Mostly asking because Cleo’s poll clothes were from Strange New Worlds set in like early 2300, whilst Bajorans really enter into the Federation’s notice a hundred odd years later)

(Sorry if this is too nitpicky, I’m just really excited!)

OH MY GOD!! IM SO HAPPY

(this image was the happiest thing i could think of so im using it to prove my joy (and my oddity))

*deep breath*

Okay! bridge first. Captain is Xisuma, I don't know who his first officer is. Chief Engineer Doc, of course. Other bridge crew are Martyn (pilot, im thinking), and tactical at the start is Grian, but after Evo... probably someone else... and then later Pearl.

So interestingly- yes! The ship is brand new, this is it's first voyage, I suppose. So the ENTIRE crew is new to the ship. That being said, a lot of them have served in Starfleet for longer, except some of the cadets. Their mission starts off kind of oddly so a LOT of people get promoted unexpectedly. For example, X wasn't even captain initially- an unnamed character was (he didn't seem like the command type to me lmao), but days before their maiden voyage she got too drunk celebrating, stole a shuttle and crashed it, killing herself and some of her buddies along with it.

before that tho, she wasn't the best captain ANYWAY, she mostly ignored the crew, but she was tactically intelligent and knew what to say to superiors, so she got captaincy. Xisuma was originally her first officer and did most of the crew interaction, so after she died, they speed promoted him and he very naturally became the captain. He leads a very collaborative ship.

Another person who's served for a while in starfleet is Etho- despite being quite young for a commander. He's kind of a prodigy, flew through the academy and got promoted very quickly. He's definitely a legendary figure among most officers. still unsure of what species to make him. Trill would be cool but I dont think so.

All that being said, Oli is the newest to Starfleet of all the characters. He's an ensign who spends most of his freetime at the bar, either serving drinks or playing various alien instruments. At this point, the bartender considers him an apprentice.

As for timeframe, the best answer I can give is I dont know. I spent probably WEEKS trying to figure it out... and I ended up hopelessly confused. If you have any suggestions that would be AMAZING

Edit: I just wanna emphasize how INSANE I was when i saw this ask- i literally screamed it's been A YEAR of thinking about this AU inside my own little crowded brain... having other people 1- know BOTH fandoms and 2- be interested??? EIILSDILFHI LHHEAdrthfhd

I NEED HELP TO FIND ARTISTS TO CREDIT THEM

hello hermitblr as you know I'm working on a plushie resourcepack with the hermits likeness, since the original designs/palettes belong to their respective creators I'd like to credit them on the -READ ME.txt' attached to the download

I could just go for the "credits to the artist" way, but that it's just poor manners, not very academic of me

I will assume their default skins where made by the hermits themselves <- but correct me if you know more info about any

These are the ones I need to find:

-Joe Hills (jhost) (I think the creator is on tumblr? but I forgor)

-Dwarf Impulse (I know ArtsbyKev worked on the axe, and Maxx drew the concept, I don't know who made the skin tho)

-Rentheking (he mentioned it was commisioned)

-Zedaph Create and Zedaph Daredevil <-FOUND [art by Lyarrah]

-ZombieCleo (default) and Gorgon Cleo (also credited in a video but again I forgor) <- FOUND [art by Xandra]

-TangoTek (default) (he mentioned the creator in a reaaalllyyy old video but I don't remember which one)

On the read more I'll leave more info vvv

-If I recall correctly Etho and Mumbo found their skins online? (Mumbo´s skin file credits someone called "hal" )

Artists I already know about:

-Livv who makes skins for Pearl

-Danny who makes things for many hermits in general

-RainMaker who made Create!Tango

-(someone at)Mojang who made the Jellie cat texture

-Me 🧍‍♂️

-> I don't need info about MCC skins, 3rd/Last/Double Life, other events, etc, those aren't included. The resource pack includes (mostly with a few exceptions) default skins, season 9 and create

[i-am-creacheur]

um a semi comprehensive list of all my empires au's (its not very comprehensive sorry) (most of them are about Jimmy and Joel. I have my favorite little guys apologies I am trying to think more about the other povs)

Btw part of the titles for au 1 and 3 are flower names. Look up the meanings there's a reason i chose them (specifically the prompts "Alstroemeria meaning" and "bleeding heart flower symbolism") (also with two of Swords I found a tarot meaning for it I liked and worked with the au (cant find the page anymore) and then remembered twenty minutes later that the two Swords are dead ass in the Empires logo)

Au 1- WHNTP/Alstromeria au (alternate titles are 'We have nothing to prove' and 'Whind Tyip'). This is my role swap au of empires season 2, although the story focuses mostly on Jimmy and Joel. Jimmy rules Stratos as a god, while Joel is the Sheriff.

I've spent some time working on belief systems for both empires, but have a lot more work in for Tumble Town. Also, the main landmarks (? The first buildings they both make in Canon esmp2) are swapped- there is a fountain in Tumble Town that provides clean water, and Joel serves as the protecter of the fountain; In Stratos, the main island has a garden, as it is said the founding god slept there for the night and blessed the land, pulling it from the ground.

Inspired by "Never the Muse" and "Tho I'm a Tortoise", both by Madilyn Mei. This au is one of my favorites in terms of worldbuilding and fluff potential. There's a bit more about it here.

Au 2- No name, refered to as "Gallows" Focused on Jimmy and the Townspeople- they take care of him in little ways and help support him when confronting Joel. Important plot points are the Toy Bonfire, Meals, Water Bottle, and Gallows (code for each of the scenes). I don't have as much work for this done as I would like, but it's very sweet.

Au 3- Two of Swords // ToS // Dicentra Mostly I use this AU for Joel/Pantheon world building. I made up a lot of terms for celestials (stand-in for the word god) in this au.

Aspectu- a type of celestial who represents an aspect of nature Corup- a type of celestial who represents an emotion or an emotional action Miska- a type of celestial who represents  more intangible ideas- magic, storytelling as examples Shali- a term for a celestial who falls into more than one of the above categories. Impossible to reach without committing diecide. Quiacy- a group of celestials who did not participate in the pillaging of the former empires lands after the rapture. Dicentra- a term for a celestial, once mortal, who became a celestial after dying. Typically selected by two or more celestial as worthy, and given divine status via those two patron celestial's combined powers. Coreia- A head or primordial celestial, or one from another "system" (not affiliated with the Empires pantheon)

Joel has many different names in this au (The Mad King/King Joel Smallish, Smallibea, Celestial Consumer, Sayoesal, and Stratosa). Jimmy becomes possessed by a Corup, leading to him slipping into the villain role again, and Joel goes berserk trying to get the other celestial out of him. Much later on, Joel realizes Jimmy and Lizzie are dormant reincarnations of the two celestials who triggered his apotheosis, and the story ends with Joel inviting an older Jimmy to travel to a swamp with him, stating that he would like it. Also there's an Etho reference in Joel's backstory which relates to why he reacts strongly when finding out Jimmy is being controlled by a Corup ;)

AU 4- Sick Daze Literally just an excuse for me to write a sickfic. Joel can essentially turn on and off his human immune system, and thus is able to care for sick people without getting sick himself. Honestly I adore this one, it's really simple.

AU 5- No Title I don't have much planned out but this AU is inspired by both Welcome to Nightvale and the song Housewife Radio. Essentially Joel rolls into town and sets up a radio station. Jimmy, the Sheriff, does NOT like him, as Joel keeps proclaiming he's a god and calling him a toy, along with only telling stupid, nonsensical tales on his radio show. However, as time goes on, the things Joel talks about on the radio show up in town, and Jimmy starts noticing odd changes in himself- for example, stitches on his arm like seams.

AU 6- Working title: How exactly do mortals work? So Jimmy gets splashed with water from the lore fountain and dies like ten seconds later. His spirt gets locked out of his body despite respawn, and as Joel has no idea what Permadeath is (being a god), he ends up convinced Jimmy's pranking him by pretending to be asleep, and he carries a body around for half a day before speaking to other Emporers about it. Eventually he has to search for a temple where he can properly harness his magic and put Jimmy's spirit back into his body. This au had another opening scene slated, but I didn't like it as much, so I changed it. I may write the original opening some day.

AU 7- Neptunian Growth Kinda weird and I came up with this earlier today, but it features a storm/weather/water mage Jimmy, who uses his abilities to prevent drought and floods in Tumble Town, and a Terrakinesis slash chlorokinesis Joel, who used his powers to raise the Islands of Stratos. Long story short they fucking HATE each other and both nearly kill the other before things get really bad and they realize that this has to stop, or both of their Empires will be torn apart.

AU 8- Mesa Beat Uhm I already made a post about this so here's the link for that.

AU 9- Felines Essentially Seablings but Esmp2. Jimmy is half human, half feli, and Lizzie is pure feli. They have the same mother but different fathers, as polygamous relationships are very common in Animalia, and leaders are actively encouraged to take a new lover every year. Mostly I adore this AU because of one scene in particular, but also because I mostly get to write them as kids!!!! There's a few main interactions they have as adults but I am very excited for the kid interactions, mostly because they remind me of me and my brother when we were younger. This is a very self indulgent Au, and I posted about it once before, but who cares. I love it.

I have like five more but they're mostly just actual stories, with little bits of an AU added on so what happens make a bit more sense (for example my prey animal jimmy idea. It does make sense and I am not insane.)

[wasyago]

How much of Tango and Pearl are still in there? How much are they vaguely aware of their actions and surroundings, feverishly shambling around like zombies, two dead puppets of the caves? Like, the skulk invading their thoughts until their own voices are just a quiet whisper in their own head? Do they remember Etho? Do they feel anger for what he did? Leaving them to die? And, most importantly, has the cave claimed anyone else we might know?

please I’m hungry for TGCAU lore

they are kind of like zombies, yeah! for how aware they are, it's like, they don't really know how they got from one place to the other or how much time has passed, but when the change of scenery is drastic enough they go "‼️" and pay attention for a while until going back to the kind of mindless state they were in.

sculk isn't exactly invading their thoughts, because there's no more their thoughts, it's all somewhat collective. one body feels it more than the other, but everything is still shared. and, well, they died, so. it's a little hard to generate thoughts all on your own when you're dead...

if you remember, sculk in minecraft gathers and stores the exp of a mob that died near it, and then grows and expands using that exp. it works similarly here. the cave gathers the life experiences, memories, life essence, and uses it to grow physically and to expland its "knowledge pool" or something. the cave isn't sentient, it can't talk, but it stores information.

so they do remember etho! but their memories of him are merged together now, and merged with the cave's own memories of him too. etho is a friend, etho left them, etho is almost like them he just needs to return, etho is alive, etho is too far away, etho hurt them, etho is bad, etho is good. there's no cause and effect reasons for their feelings, it's just feelings that they associate with the memories. memories of etho are mostly good, they miss him tho, they need him back.

not sure about any other characters, i kinda want to try and keep the au to only these four. makes it more contained.

[stiffyck]

Whats your opinion on other scar ships? Like scaridarity, convex, scar and impulse, etc etc

I like a lot of scar ships, including redscape, scarpulse, gemscar even tho that one I like qpps more but its still cute romantically, scar and etho this season have a very fun dynamic and I'd love to see some shipping stuff with them...

Hmm.

Scariadarity- their shipname sucks im sorry but I adore these two. I have some fun aus with them actually. Cute ship!

Convex is a weird one for me. I think scar and Cub work the best as best friends. I think the ship itself is good but it's kinda uncomfortable for me? It's one of those ships where I've encountered mostly stuff that makes me uncomfortable, not to mention that one nsfw ask I got about them. Which is the reason I have no nsfw in my pinned post fjfkdkgke

The ship is cool and I see why people like it but my brain lingers on uncomfortable stuff and I've seen. Way too many Incest fics of these two. So not a ship for me really sjvkdk.

Usually i will give any scar ship a chance with some exceptions where the ships make me uncomfortable for some reason or I just think they work better as friends/qpps/anything else.

Tho my fav ship is redscape rn, scarpulse is pretty high up there too.
