#and he doesnt travel much. a lot of his world is actually mostly untouched

[definitelynotshouting]

Do you think that in the “Grian fesses up immediately” au, he would purposely. not eat or sleep or do things like that because he’d think he doesn’t deserve it

do you think that when or if anyone would try to messaging him, he would ignore it every single time just to cry about it later but never message back

do you think some of the hermits, cough coffh scar and mumbo, would repeatedly try to message him and text him and desperately try to get back into contact with him

do you t

Obligatory tw for discussions of suicidal ideation

I think its a lot softer but more deeply aching tbh-- its less that he denies himself food and rest and more that he just. Stops being himself in favour of this empty shell going through the motions

I think he disconnects his comm from everyone, tbh, because why would they want to talk to him??? Why would he want the reminder??? He fucked up and now he has to pay the price. So Scar and Mumbo and any others who want him around just straight up cant reach him!!! He has effectively vanished like a ghost

Its part of why Iskall is so eager to reconnect with him when they accidentally meet. Grian's singleplayer is far from Hermitcraft, but Iskall travels a lot for VH, and they happened to meet in a server hub while looking for supplies not immediately available to them

for Grian, he sorta... assumed this would be his last stop into a hub. Period. But then Iskall saw him, and wanted to reconnect, wanted to hang out, and it stalls him in his tracks a bit, enough to put his own plans on hold for a while (but with the lingering sensation of waiting for himself to die as he does it. Thats a big part of this au too-- the waiting for yourself to die and then realizing you Arent, and suddenly having to grapple with the idea of a future again)

But yeah personally i think Grian's day to day is like. Mundane chores where he goes through the motions. Farming food he doesnt even need to eat. Taking care of limited livestock. Early to mid-game stuff. And the rest of the time he just kinda sleeps, because life is easier to face when he's unconscious for it. And he hasnt built anything more than a simple cottage in a long, long time

Man. I just had the dream ever last night. Not a lot actually happened but the concept itself is kind of wild. It’d make for a hell of a story/AU:

In this dream, Minnie was led by these mysterious figures (the dream didn’t show me anything concrete about who they were or how they looked like, other than they were figures of authority and also Bad) because she had been chosen to accompany the King of their world

The King (who is basically a synonym for god in this context) is The Most Powerful and Important Person ever. But also he hasn’t “grown into his power” yet. Many people before Minnie have tried to help him with that, and they have failed (and put to death as a result. Yikes)

Because of this Minnie is, understandably, terrified. She thinks the King is some kind of terrifying monster beyond her comprehension. What if she fails too? She doesn’t want to die! So imagine her surprise when the King turns out to be…..a(n unhealthily) skinny mouse boy wearing nothing but shorts too big for him who’s not even taller than her. And he seems as surprised about her as she is about him.

Nervous as she is, she asks him if he’s really the King. He admits that that’s what the people who look after him say, but he thinks it must be some kind of joke, too. But it would be a very weird joke, and it’s the only life he knows too, so….not much he can do, either.

The next thing she asks him is his name. That seems to surprise him; not one person before her ever asked for his name before, they just called him by fancy titles and treated him like he was untouchable. It made him sad and uncomfortable. He tells Minnie his name is Mickey.

His room is depressingly huge, white and empty, except for a bed and a tiny window up near the ceiling. The only things he seems to own are some books and paper sheets and pencils for drawing. He’s never left the castle; he’s barely left this room. But he wants to be a pilot and drive a plane so he can see the sky.

Mickey doesn’t like being treated like a king or a god, but the people who take care of him tell him the people need him to be happy, so he doesnt want to cause anyone trouble. He knows that kings are supposed to look after their people so he should at least do THAT right. He just wishes he wasn’t so lonely…..

After that it’s mostly Mickey and Minnie talking and spending time together doing really mundane stuff. Minnie loves music so she plays for Mickey and he gets so happy, flowers sprout under his feet (because despite everything, he really IS a god).

Something something Mickey gaining weight to show that he’s happier and healing. We love to see it 🥹

The people who keep Mickey imprisoned end up hating Minnie because they think she gets in the way of Mickey being perfectly obedient.

In the end though, these people are gone and Mickey finally ‘ascends’ as a god (and Minnie becomes his Queen, which means she becomes a goddess as well). But rather than actually do royal things, they’re free to travel and see the world together

I mean. My dream was vague in a lot of things but the metaphors are kind of obvious, and I woke up feeling all 🥺

camboy AU... but make it romantic

Camboy Bill AU feat. the OT7.

- basic stuff really

- Bill is a camboy (billoncam) on those websites that I don’t know enough about to be able to give a name.

- and he does sessions every few days in private chatrooms

- mostly solo stuff - either a vibrator or dildo in his ass whilst jacking it to the camera

- his fans love him because he is really chatty and responsive. and when he gets really turned on, he stutters. he always moans and thanks the person when someone sends him a tip - its like the tip button is directly connected to his vibrator, the way he moans every time it *dings*

- he has regulars. people who always seem to tune in and leave lots of tips. he comes to recognise their usernames.

- “welcome mikey-mike. i hope you’re having a good week.”

- “its good to see you again bigdickrich, what filthy things are you gonna say to me today?”

- stuff like that.

- he holds competitions among viewers - whoever gives him the most tips in a session gets to choose a name for him to call out when he cums

- as a result billoncam ends up moaning out “oh fuck carsforeddie! oh fuck you feel so good carsforeddie! oh fuck OH FUCK!” a lot.

- like previously stated, he’s known for his highly interactive solo stuff but every now and then his audience gets a guest appearance from other people. it always seems to be the same guys but we never get to see their faces 

- one has lovely golden skin that matches his golden curls that Bill loves to grab onto when he’s fucking him

- the other is this buff dude with dark blonde body hair that makes the most delicious sounds when he’s railing Bill

- thats right, billoncam be versatile as fuck

- even more versatile than first anticipated because one time during a session Bill is holding a photo on his phone up to show the camera and he accidentally swipes to the next photo which is of some redhead woman lying on a bed in lingerie

- the comment section goes wild and Bill is like “oh fuck, oh fuck you weren’t meant to see that, ah ha ha ha lets forget that happened pls” and he goes on with the session. trying to ignore all the questions hounding him about who the fuck that was and why was she on his bed??

- two days later when billoncam is next scheduled to cam it is immediately obvious that things are very different when the session starts on a shot of Bill sitting fully-clothed talking straight to camera

- “thanks for tuning in everyone. I just felt I wanted to do something a bit different today. There’s been lots of discussion and questions about what happened the other day and I’ve thought about it a lot and have decided that I would like to be honest with you. This is a part of who I am and I don’t want to feel ashamed of that. So the truth is... I’m bisexual. And this...”

- Bill holds up his phone showing a photo of Bill and the redhead from the lingerie photo hugging each other and smiling giddily at the camera

- “... this is Bev. She’s my girlfriend.”

- again, the comment section goes wild. Obviously Bill has been camming himself on a website for gay men and well... gays can still be mean and weird sometimes when it comes to bisexuality.

- “I know. I know. It’s not what you’ve come to expect from me. I’m sorry if you’re offended or something. Well actually I’m not sorry at all. I would never be sorry for being in love with Bev. She’s my rock. We’ve been together for so long and she means the world to me. And the only reason I’m showing her face on here is because she’s given me full permission. In fact she has her own camming channel. Which I can link you to if there are any fellow bi’s out there.”

- Because the internet is the internet, Bill notices he’s losing viewers quickly, but he’s kind of happy to note that some of his regulars are among the ones being super supportive

- sitonthis: you’re not really gay. get the fuckk outta here!

mikey-mike: thanks for being honest with us Bill. I’m bi too and some people on here need to be quiet and stop being rude.

erotic-cum-on-my-hole: where’s the dick??

bigdickrich: daaaaaaaaaaamn Bill. she’s fuckign hot! gimme dat link please >______>

br000ny: sick of these bi s trickin on us. im out.

carsforeddie: YO EVERYONE NEEDS TO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LEAVE BILL ALOONE!@! WHO WOULDN’T WANT TO DATE BILL?! HE’S FUCKING GORGEOUS AND PERFECT!! I SWEAR TO GOD YOU ALL NEED TO MEET ME IN THE PARKING LOT RIGHT THE FUCK NNOW!!e@!

- but it doesn’t stop there. Bill has more to tell. He doesn’t get naked at all that session. But he does come clean about being polyamorous. Apparently Bill and Bev were together for years before she started dating Ben. Who then eventually started dating Bill as well (mystery solved on who buff dude is). And then a little while after that Bill started dating Stan who also began dating everyone else eventually (mystery number two solved on who golden curls is)

- of course to respect privacy Bill doesn’t give names or photos for those two (they’re not into camming and only ever fuck Bill on cam as a favour cause they know Bill loves it so much). But he does wax poetic for a further half an hour on just how much he loves all his partners and then unexpectedly signs off.

- billoncam disappears for awhile. his sessions just suddenly stop. his fans reckon its probably got to do with the negative response he got to coming out as bi. 

- they try to reach out to him on his social media but never with any luck. its funny, billoncam’s sessions have weirdly become a bit of community thing. its strange. the regulars all kind of know each other and it feels wrong to not be coming all together (pun not intended) a few times a week on Bill’s channel. but whatever, it doesn’t matter anymore because it seems billoncam is no more. he’s been scared away.

- struggling radio personality Richie Tozier is definitely not expecting to run into Bill aka. billoncam in a random Los Angeles Starbucks one day. But he does. Thats him. That’s totally fucking him. The only way Richie could be more sure is if Bill whipped his junk out in the middle of this cafe.

- Richie is so stunned he can’t even think what to say. How to approach this guy that he has been jacking off to for the last year or so. 

- He ends up chasing Bill down the street and kind of pouncing on him. 

- Bill is understandably wary at first. But of course he’s kind of charmed by this nervous motormouth with his ridiculously syrupy-looking frappuccino concoction. Its strange how familiar he seems. He almost whispers the name to himself just as Richie practically yells “Oh by the way. I’m bigdickrich. Did I mention that? I might have forgotten to mention that. Fuck!”

- And well, a week or two later... billoncam makes a comeback suddenly.

- And he’s got a companion. A companion who is showing his face. Bill’s regulars know they definitely haven’t seen this guy (or his body) before but they don’t mind at all since the session is so much more intense because they can see both participants for once. And this new guy is very cute. In a hairy, gangly, bedraggled kind of way.

- Bill introduces the guy as his new friend. He says his new friend convinced him to come back online. And his new friend even gave permission for their first time together to be filmed live.

- New Friend’s eyebrows wiggle at the camera behind his thick dark-framed glasses

- this sends a thrill through the audience obviously. such an intimate thing that theyre witnessing. New Friend doesnt seem to mind though. In fact he seems to lap up the attention and is very willing to take suggestions from the audience of just what he should do to Bill. 

- the vibrator and dildo remain untouched on the bed that day. 

- and its right at the end, still panting and sweating and coming down from their highs that Bill mentions that his New Friend is a previous audience member.

- “some of you might recognise the username. This is bigdickrich. Sooo... I guess we now know he wasn’t exaggerating with that name ha ha” to which Richie just grins at the camera holding his hands up under his chin.

- the comment section goes BONKERS!

- carsforeddie: THAT ANNOYING CRUDE SON OF A BITCH!! WHAT THE FUCK WHY IS THE UNIVERSE SO UNFAIR! FUCK!”

mikey-mike: good for you bigdickrich. you’re a real lucky guy. 

twinksfordays: i want to choke on bigdickrich’s cock

carsforeddie: HOW?! HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?! EW I JUST JACKED IT TO THAT ASSHOLE! FUCK I NEED TO SHOWER”

- Bill and Richie giggle and converse with the commenters for awhile and then sign off.

- billoncam returns to regularly camming again. much the way he was before. mostly solo. though sometimes with guest stars. and Richie becomes a more and more frequent feature. He’s the only one (besides Bev popping in now and then) who shows his face.

- and then, billoncam hits 100,000 subscribers

- and Bill. Well he has to make it special right? So he auctions himself off. There has to be some careful wording and labelling so that he can’t be done for prostitution but... essentially Bill auctions off the chance for him to travel and spend the night with the highest bidder.

- of course carsforeddie is not going to let this opportunity slide by him. He’s a successful businessman. He might only be 25 but he’s got money to burn and he’s been loving lusting after billoncam for a LONG TIME

- its undisclosed just how much Eddie Kaspbrak, luxury car rental business owner ends up paying for billoncam to fly to New York and spend the night with him - for legal reasons obviously. And no, Eddie does not give permission for the deed to be filmed.

- But! Its perfectly legal to say that the 2nd time Bill fucks Eddie - the 3rd, the 4th, the 5th and the 6th and all the times that follow - are done completely for free!

- Ben jokes to Richie privately about them going to need to move into a bigger house if Bill keeps adding people to this relationship.

- It becomes less of a joke and more of a reality as Eddie moves permanently to Los Angeles 6 months (and lots of trips to LA) later.

- And thats it. Theyre nearly there. There’s just one more thing missing. One more piece to the puzzle. Bill doesn’t know why he feels this way. He just does.

- Luckily Mike Hanlon (aka as mikey-mike) has been unknowingly working away on this very thing for months. Not that he would have dared to assume that anything would happen when he slid into billoncam’s DM’s 18 months ago.

- He’s just a country boy from bumfuck nowhere. There’s no reality in this universe where he and the likes of billoncam would ever cross paths. But he enjoys talking to him. They have a lot of laughs. And Bill is surprisingly sweet and very well spoken. They like a lot of the same things. The same literature, the same sports teams. Bill is always asking after the animals on Mike’s family’s farm. Mike wishes he could get to know him better. 

- Bill wants the same thing. He’d give anything to meet the sweet-souled farmboy from Maine who brightens Bill’s day whenever he gets a new message from him. I mean, it helps that he’s also gorgeous with the most wonderful smile, but thats beside the point.

- Bill ends up putting his money where his mouth is. Just enough to buy a return plane ticket to LA, so that Mike can come visit him, and cover the cost of a hotel room (ya know, in case he doesn’t want to stay with Bill and the rest of them. Bill would never want to make him uncomfortable).

- Needless to say Mike fits right into the family almost immediately. 

- its a couple of months later and billoncam still exists, but its like a relic now. Bill pours all his creative energy into his new channel “the-lucky-seven”. Its a channel shared by everyone and its outrageously popular. Sure there are still a few individuals who are too shy or anxious to show their faces but the audience doesn’t seem to care. There’s so much variety to be found on the channel. Different combinations of people doing a live cam nearly every second day. 

- they’re all unapologetic, they all love each other, and they don’t mind sharing it with the world. 

- :) :) :) :) B) :) :)

Did I really just write a romance story about camming? Why yes, I think I did. Ha Ha. Hope you enjoyed. :)

                    CURSE - BREAKING : A PROFESSION

firstly , all my love goes to @victoryforged​ for helping me talk through this headcanon & develop this . i actually almost cried when you were on my dash expressing the things i have been stuck with and i adore you already ! there are a lot of plotholes and gross things in hp but one of those huge ones is the idea of cursebreakers going in and taking treasure from places like egypt for a bank and that being okay. so we’re, not going with that here. instead, here is my take on the kind of cursebreaking that bill does and his personal career path. i do want to say that, because the world sucks, there are treasure hunter cursebreakers, it just doesn’t work at all for my interpretation of bill. another note: i am not hogwarts mystery compliant. im barely jk compliant lets be real.

so bill gets into cursebreaking out of school. he’s excelled at runes and charms in school and it feels like a really natural progression for him. it’s intellectually stimulating, which he needs, and a little bit dangerous, which he enjoys. his initial job is a specialist in cursed artefacts. predominantly , he deals with ancient sites / old artefacts that have been left and are not safe for the population today and he goes in to crack those curses , and ensure that these are no longer a threat for those who might come across them. it does not include taking any artefacts outside of where they are found.

he works with an independent firm who are contracted by other organisations to help on projects . by the time bill is 22, he has made a bit of a name for himself as a SPECIALIST IN CURSED ARTIFACTS. this then comes with a SECOND aspect to his job: lecturing and acting as a consultant in other cases. he delivers lectures on how to spot a curse, and how to figure out the effects of it, and the ways in which it works. this is an aspect he gets better at but really don’t go to his first like……. five lectures ? they’re not great.

egypt comes as a six month consultancy at first. he is put on secondment from his job to go out and assist a group of archaeologists who have found artefacts producing very similar effects to ones he has seen before, and he is brought in to work with their times in figuring this out, and securing the site and making sure it is safe. he becomes responsible for site safety and assisting the onsite teams in their work, taking responsibility for any curses come in contact with. while he’s out there, he experiences a level of independence that he feels he doesn’t have in the uk, and identity he doesnt have around his family, and begins to wonder about the idea of not living at home. it’s here that he becomes friends with ameni ( @desertmage​ ) and other members of the team, and starts to feel somewhat settled into this life, and when the contract is over, is offered another one. he takes the further contract and begins to settle down in egypt, working specifically with this team of archaeologists and resuming his work in lecturing, based from a new location. for this period, bill is being paid through the archaeological team and does not have his job at the bank.

bill lives in egypt from age 22 - 25, when the war comes back around in force and begins appearing more likely in britain. as much as he loves his work and his life, he knows he needs to be there for his family, though initially he considers it to be a temporary arrangement and believes he will be back out in egypt when the war is done. he resumes his job with the independent firm and is contracted to work on some projects at the bank , with items that have sat untouched in their vaults , and in a bid to keep him, is put in charge of a team and in a position to take cases he is interested in, rather than those in the bank’s vaults that bring them in money. it is only when he meets fleur and falls for her that he begins feeling settled in the UK again and decides he wants a life there. he still does small consultancies where it’s needed, and does travel to lecture a lot, but mostly he works up the ladder in his team and writes a book on cursebreaking and their responsibility to the world.
