A ghost haunted season 10. Certainly not a malicious one, if a bit mischievous - and one had to keep a careful eye out to catch him.
Jevin heard him first, deep underground. He was hunting iron, early in the season, and he was having the worst luck. He even looked up where iron should be, to make sure the updates hadn't changed anything! Alas, the iron evaded him. Jevin might have to resort to begging and then jump straight to a farm.
And he kept hearing these crackly, faint snickers. At first he thought he'd been on a voice channel accidentally, but, no, his comm wasn't connected. Then, just to make sure, he disconnected it entirely - but the laughter prevailed. Jevin chalked it up to too many sleepless nights, and went to find an overachieving hermit already building an iron farm.
Stress heard him next, but as someone who heard murmuring monsters on a good day, she didn't give it a second thought. Clear as day she heard an, "oh, bugger." She thought, you and me both, monster, before going along with her day.
Then it was Xisuma, though he didn't hear anyone, he saw. It was a mere glimmer out of the corner of his eye. White hair, stout, pickaxe slung lovingly over a shoulder. When he looked back there was nothing. He resolved to run diagnostics on his helmet, because something was clearly haywire.
And in Joel's defense, he was both exhausted and brand new to hermitcraft. It wasn't like people had nametags on, they were a group of friends! So when an old man grumbled by, lost as could be within the shopping district, Joel furrowed his brows but ultimately was too tired to ruminate. He overheard the man saying something about shroomlights and called out, "Tango has the permit, but he doesn't have a shop up yet!"
The man startled, muttered something about "permits?" before scuttling off like a spooked horse. Joel shrugged. It was called hermitcraft, after all. There had to be loads of people he hadn't met yet.
Small instances added up. Scar fell asleep making a tree, hidden amongst the branches, and was spooked awake by the sound of a player dying. But when he checked his comm, nothing showed up. A dream, he thought uneasily.
I just need sleep, Tango thought.
Wow, someone's wearing a sick costume, Skizz thought. Too bad I'm too busy to go chat right now!
Who's messing with my hourglass now? Doc thought. Only, there wasn't anyone else on the server at the time. Probably an armor stand prank.
It all came to head when Hypno stumbled across his fifth stripmine in one mining session. He rolled his eyes, because of course Wels had created tunnels beneath Hypno's place just to be a nuisance. Except when he pointed it out to Wels, who was on call with Hypno but was busy caving, Wels expressed confusion.
"I've only made one or two strip mines. And they're not near you," Wels said.
Hypno saw a wisp of white hair turning a corner. "Haha, very funny, Wels. Come on out."
"I'm not joking?" Wels said in confusion. In the same beat he got the achievement for sneaking successfully past a shrieker for the first time and Hypno was far too high up to be near an ancient city.
"Maybe it's someone else?" Hypno murmured, checking who was online. Grian and Joel, who were having their own shenanigans blowing up the comms (it involved TNT, so the blowing up was quite literal). Impulse had just left. Etho, who could be a contender if Hypno didn't know he'd fallen asleep at the post office three hours ago. Plus, what sort of prank would this be, from Etho?
He explored the endless strip mines and got so lost that he had to dig his way up. When he mentioned the strangeness to Keralis, the man lit up and exclaimed that he'd found the same thing, how weird was that, huh?
Hypno investigated. If there was a bug in the world he'd need to know.
"You know, it might not be a bug," Cleo said meaningfully. They fidgeted with a tear in their clothes.
"What else would it be?" Hypno asked, mystified.
"Maybe it's a player. You know. Someone we never removed from the whitelist."
Cleo raised an eyebrow. It wasn't in their nature to beat around the bush, but at the same time they didn't want to act crass. Not for this.
Tentative realization trickled through Hypno. He nodded and abruptly left, unsure how to feel.
The information spread slowly through the rest of the server. Joe took to leaving boxes of torches and iron pickaxes about, and every so often would have to refill them. He didn't ask, but everyone swore they hadn't been stealing. Who would need an iron pickaxe at this point, anyway?
One night, Cub let off a slew of fireworks that were spherical and solid green. He heard a faint chuckle on the breeze, and raised a drink in quiet salute.
So, yes. A ghost haunted season 10. But ghost haunting had such a negative connotation, didn't it? The hermits, if they spoke about him at all, much preferred to call him the True Hermit who never left.
#mysnippets#hermitaday#tinfoilchef#added a read more even tho its not That long#i dont like having long posts on my dash lol#his videos are so chill and i love that u can hear his mouse clicking every time lol#also jev not finding iron etc is noncanon i made that shit up entirely

pokemon echoes of wisdom hours 2 & 3
-ok first i just want to say two things
-1. that mention of 'hopefully my nuzlocke experience will help' two posts ago was supposed to be a joke. Why is it accurate. This game is actually pokemon. I am seeing a moblin and saying, oh that's a fighting type, time to send out the flying type keese! I'm seeing deku babas and sending the fire candle guys because fire > grass.
-2. some people are complaining that you can't get up close and personal as zelda and I'm like. that's not a bad thing. the levels of strategy i have to employ is insane. I feel so clever. Zelda feels different to play than link does, and I think that's a good thing. I'm not playing a linkle game, I'm playing a zelda game.
spoilers below the cut, i guess. i hope i do it right.
--got the rupees for the heart piece
-went in caves and got like six different monsters. flame candle is my fave so far.
-went into the still world. the music is creepy. i hate it. 10/10.
-i was not expecting a first dungeon this early but I'm not complaining
-god these puzzles are fun.
-dark link was a fun challenge. my initial plan was to use a darknut to distract him and then set him on fire, but spamming ropes ended up working better.
-ropes are actually really useful because even though they die in one hit, they attack really quickly and you can summon a ton of them
-it's really fun to distract some strong foe with like three monsters and then take a nap to restore health
-oh also i figured out bed strats. when you first enter a bed, you gain a half heart after around three seconds, and each succesive heart takes about five. If you get out and sleep again after getting your first half heart, it goes quicker.
-ohhh i can use keese to hit the rock guy's weak point
-damn that's a lot of tris
-excuse me??? they use the echo ability to restore the land and people??? doesn't that mean that the restored people are just copies???
-hold up the corrupted people are just copies too. is there an evil tri loose?
-wait, ganon came out of the rift, which means that the ganon from before might've just been a clone, and real ganon got rifted. hmmmmm
-no, lefte, i don't want to travel together. let me ignore the plot minister lefte. please. lefte.
-ok so you can upgrade the sword with impa's brother. okay.
-oh also hold on what the fuck impa is the only one that can't see tri. I think she's been rifted, and she only helped us with the guards to gain our trust to pull a totk puppet zelda on us
-and also i got a bottle earlier and the fairies just jump into it. which means that fairies in bottles aren't being captured, they just like to be in bottles. fairies are hermit crabs. change my mind.
-got some water types and met the great fairy.
-i tried to run away from the plot. saw a sign leading to seasyde village. went there. found plot. I hate how well this game is railroading me without my realizing. i am playing checkers and nintendo is playing six-dimensional chess.
-got some shark guy, is very strong. best water type.
-oh god zora cove is MASSIVE. even bigger than lake hylia. god i hope he hydrology in this game makes more sense than in totk and botw.
-you can stack octorocks. you all need to know that.
-delivering fish. found a moblin evolution. killed it. absorbed its essence. mine.
-favorite pokemon monster: ropes are probably the most useful, but ignacio or whatever its name is is my favorite. he's just a destructive little guy

Contribution
Pairings: Ezra Bridger x gn!reader
Requested by: @theriseofshin
A/N: I added a little more to the story I hope that's ok. And omg look at the gif I found, Eman is so Ezra coded. THE SHOULDER BOUNCE WHEN THEY SMILE. Ok so this based on season 3 episode 11 of Rebels and also somewhere in between S3 E11 and S3 E13. The idea just popped up in my head, we'll see how it goes. Reader is force sensitive. This is also unedited btw.
Summary: When you, Sabine, and Kanan followed Maul and Ezra to Dathomir, the witches somehow took away your powers. Which should've been impossible, but ever since that incident you've felt like you brought nothing to the team. You felt like you were in the way. Seeing this Ezra quickly took these thoughts from your mind reminding you of who you are.
Translation: kokipa- fear
You were laying on your bed enjoying having the room to yourself for once. I mean don't get me wrong, you and Sabine get along really well as roommates as well as sisters can be anyway, but lately in your spare time you'd ather be alone. After what happened on Dathomir, you rather not be around anyone.
EDIT: I accidentally deleted this when I was trying to make a correction. You guys don’t know how stressed I was.
And HUGE shout to @nubimera for reblogging this story because not only were you the first reblog of this fic but you are the reason I was able to get pictures of my fic so I wouldn’t have to rewrite it. THANK YOU SO MUCH YOURE SO AMAZING🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰and a big thanks to everyone who like my fic in the short amount of time of me posting before I accidentally deleted it🤦♀️🫣🤦♀️
Few weeks ago on Dathomir
After Ezra threw you out of the cave the spirit left your body, giving you back control of your limbs.
"Why is it every time we work with Maul, weird force stuff happens and I'm always hurt trying to save you?" You said with a small smile while trying to rub away your migraine.
"Wait you're hurt? Where?" Ezra responded reaching towards you looking for any injuries.
“I'm hurt mentally, these experiences take a toll on a person you know." You smirked and Ezra rolled his eyes at your teasing.
"I thought you were injured."
"I do have a heck of a headache if that makes you feel any better." You said as you stood up.
"No, you stay here. I'm going to go get Sabine and Kanan."
"Then I want to help."
"They'll just posses you again."
"And what about you?"
"I have a plan."
"Great, then I can help with that. I'll take Sabine and you can take Kanan." You said walking back into the cave.
Ezra sighed at your stubbornness and followed you in.
"You know you're pretty stubborn." Ezra says.
"I've been told that before."
Sensing something behind you, you quickly ignited your light saber and blocked the one aimed at you. You called out and told Ezra to go help Kanan before focusing back on your best friend.
"Sabine if you can hear me, I'm sorry." You said as you broke the hold of the lightsabers and kicked Sabine in her stomach sending her backwards. Seeing her getting up you pressed on slowly but surely backing Sabine towards the entrance of the cave before a force knocked you over. You opened your eyes to see the spirit that came after you the first time. You quickly dodged it and turned back around towards Sabine and when you did you felt a pair of fingers on your forehead and you hear one word before blacking out.
"Kokipa."
The Next Day
The next thing you knew you were waking up in your bed with Ezra sitting next to you, and it didn't take long to realize the damage that had been done. Once you had woken up completely everything felt quiet. You couldn't feel anything around you. You went to Kanan to ask him about it and he said it could just be fatigue, but you didn't believe it. You have been way more exhausted before and it never affected your powers. It wasn't until a few days later during a mission briefing when you realized your powers were gone. Hera was explaining the mission when you seen one of the cute hermit crab things that were all around chopper base. It was sitting next to your hand on the edge of the holo-table. Smiling softly you reached out to it with the force, well you tried anyway. It was something you would do all the time, but this time you couldn't feel its emotions or its presence. Trying not to panic you looked around trying to connect with any living thing you had seen, but felt nothing. Now it was time to panic. You looked towards Ezra and Kanan. Ezra must've felt your worry and unease because he looked up directly at you seeing your panicked eyes. A few seconds of the two of you staring at each other, he gave you a confused look. That's when you realized he was trying to talk to you through the force link only the two of you shared.
When the two of you met you both instantly created a bond that grew stronger every day. About a month into your friendship you both realized you could use the force to connect your minds and talk to each other telepathically. Kanan explained that it was because of the bond you two share and that it was a rare occurrence and could be dangerous if the two of you weren't careful with your emotions. Over time you both mastered the skill, only this time you couldn't hear Ezra thoughts at all or even feel him through the force. That's when you started to panic. You didn't even hear Hera when she asked if you were ok, or notice Kanan quickly moving to your side while Ezra made his way to the other. All you could hear was your body trying to catch its breath. You couldn't breath, and you could barely hear Ezra trying to walk you through slowing your breathing, but you couldn't. Every thing sounded like it was under water.
Kanan and Ezra walked you to the common room of the Ghost as the others followed, watching worriedly as Ezra was slowly able to calm you down.
"So, you gonna tell us what's going on?" Kanan said.
"Somethings wrong with me." You replied.
"What do you mean?"
"I think I've lost my powers."
Everyone was silent at first, a Jedi losing their connection to the force was so rare it was basically unheard of during the times of old. The only way for a force user to lose their powers was if they stopped using it completely.
"(Y/n), that's not possible."
"Then tell me what it is Kanan! It's not exhaustion, it's something else! It's like everything has gone quiet, if I wasn't looking at all of you right now, I wouldn't even know you were here! Tell me what to do Kanan.”
"I-I haven't seen anything like this before (Y/n). I'm not sure there is anything we can do. Let me think on it, we'll figure it out I promise." You could hear the sadness in Kanan's voice which only worries you more. You said nothing else as you stood up went to your room. You were anxious, angry, sad, and scared.
"What would my contribution to the team be now?" You asked yourself before the sound of the door opening caught your attention. It was Ezra.
"Hey." He said softly.
"Hey."
"How you doin'?" Ezra asked as he sat next to you on your bunk.
"How do you think I'm doing?" The pause that followed was uncomfortable and the guilt you felt caused you to sigh.
"I'm sorry, Ezra. I'm just- I don't know why I’m going to do.”
"Don't worry, we'll figure this out, (N/ n)."
"It's not just that."
"Then what is it?"
"How am I supposed to help the team?"
"What?"
"Without the force, I'm useless to the team."
"That's not true! You are more than just your powers (N/n)."
"Am I? I'm not skilled in mechanics like Sabine, I'm not as good a shot as Zeb, and I definitely don't even come close to flying as good a Hera. You and Kanan, even you guys come up with really good plans when needed. I can't do any of that stuff. I knew how to fight, but now that my powers are gone how am I supposed to do that well." You said looking away from Ezra.
"Woah, woah, woah, let me stop you right there. You are a vital part of this team, this family. And just because you think you don't contribute anything other than your lightsaber doesn't make it true. I can't tell you how many messes you've gotten us out of with your quick thinking, how many problems your creative mind help fix for everybody on this ship, constantly. And you're a fierce warrior with and without your saber."
"Ezra." You sighed.
"You are needed here, and I won't let you think otherwise. And I will repeat myself everyday until you believe it, if I have to." Ezra finished as he softly cups your cheek and turn your head back towards him to look you in the eyes.
"Thanks, Ezra. But-"
"No buts." He said leaning forward pressing a soft kiss on your cheek, then another on your lips. "Now, let's forgive this out. Start from the beginning." And you did. You told him about everything that happened yesterday, and retracing your steps helped you realize the reason your powers are gone. You were still anxious and afraid, but with Ezra there you knew everything was going to turn out fine.
————————————————————
A/N: Finally finished I hope this isn't to cringe or anything. And hopefully this fulfilled your request. Thank you so much for sending in your request, and giving me a chance to bring your idea to life. I will now be heading to bed. Good night, guys.
Edit: But I did discover something from this mistake if you have a iPad and an iPhone you can copy something from said iPad and all you have to do is click ast on your iPhone and it’ll paste whatever it was from your iPad to your phone. I’m late Ik BUT it was such a life saver because I promise if I had to rewrite this whole fic out again without a reference (not that I didn’t enjoy writing it the first time) this fic was going to be my 13th reason. Hope you guys enjoy, toodles👋.

I was think that if there was a Steven stand in for the Gemcyt au it would be someone that has ties to both hermit craft and empires
The candidates are Scott false gem and pix
but I guess since the au is mainly life smp it would be some that was in all three
If we’re only looking at people that are in all three smps then Scott or gem would be the best options because they are in all
but I think pix being the most diplomatic is the best choice if you’re looking for the most fitting personality out of the four
But it doesn’t have to be someone that is in all three @scrimblescromble made a post suggesting Hermes as the Steven figure and I think that is a good idea or at least having Hermes in the au is a good idea
In my past post I wrote that sausage took some time to grow attached to the earth and I think that when sausage was with the crystal gems leading up to him contacting the diamonds he befriended a human kid that along with bubbles was the main reason for him finally decided to defect
After he defected sausage moved back into the cave with gem and fwhip (the cave is were the reformed homeworld gems live like how lapis and peridot live on the farm)
He would visit Hermes still and Hermes was unofficially adopted by crystal gems specifically sausage and joel and Lizzie
Pix was a wreck making sure the three gems knew how to properly keep a human child alive also he was the one that ended up home schooling Hermes and teaching morals and being responsible
pix is the Greg of the au but he is more involved in gem problems and in Hermes education
In beginning jimmy was really jealous of Hermes because he’s used to being the youngest
Like amethyst after Steven came along
He acted like a jealous only child that got a new baby sibling only here he is a brother to the parents and not Hermes so an he’s an uncle figure
so his situation is similar to yuri from spy x family only without the incesty vibes and he has nothing against the husband
Lizzie was his diamond and big sister figure for the longest Time and still is but now that things are changing he has a hard time adjusting
But just like amethyst he learns
inspired by @playername-player-of-games and @scrimblescromble

He’s still not sure how it happened.
The rest of my Annual* Writing Self-Evaluation is under the cut:
It's been a weird year for me w/r/t fic writing! I wrote my longest fic so far by very much a lot. It was a labor of love and for most of the 8ish months I was writing it, I was feeling very down about my skills and writing in general, but I was having fun with turning New Girl into a larry fic, so I carried on, and I came out the other side ok I guess?
I modded our yearly @wankersday fest and the @harryshouseficfest despite promising myself I'd only do wankfest, and the stress of it solidified that decision lol. No more modding for me (except wankfest).
I wrote 9 fics this year, the lowest number of fics per year since my first year writing, and I posted my first ever fic in October and still wrote 5 fics that year. 6 of my 9 fics this year were for fests. That's more pressure than I usually like to put on myself, but I survived, and here's what my year looked like:
Number of stories posted this year: 9
Word count posted this year: 490,127
Stories with the most:
Kudos: Remember Me Before You (713)
Comment threads: RMBY (656)
Bookmarks: RMBY (605)
Work you are most proud of (and why):
Remember Me Before You my New Girl AU, more than twice as long as the next longest thing I've written, it's really just a love letter to the show. Posting it as a WIP while I finished the last bit was daunting because it's the first time I've done a WIP that wasn't complete before I started posting, but it was so fun! The comments fueled me and I loved chatting with you guys as it was going. Some of you were already New Girl fans, some hadn't seen the show, some starting watching it because of my fic??? it was an experience!
Work you are least proud of (and why):
Uh oh, it’s Magic (when I’m with you) for the @1dastroficfest. It was tough to get started and I think I tried like 4 different ideas for that prompt (The Hermit tarot card), but then Megan @homosociallyyours was like 'what if you took it very literally' and thankfully that worked! This was the first time I've ever been legitimately worried about meeting a deadline.
A favorite excerpt of your writing:
I'm never any good at picking snippets. I usually ask Nic @louandhazaf to assist, but this is part of a snippet I posted earlier this year, so... this is from Just Pretend, my older, divorced larry meet and decide to fake a relationship for their kids fic for @1dsilverfoxfest
According to his mom, he started flirting at two days old, and he’s only gotten better over the last forty-five years. Harry's had about that long to earn a doctorate in dimples. He wields them as he moves closer, pressing his chest against Louis’ palm and lifting his left hand to cradle Louis’ jaw. Cool despite the heat they’ve borrowed from his body, the touch of Harry's rings sends a shiver down Louis’ spine. His heart beats harder as he leans in.
Louis’s never been a fan of tequila, but the sweet, peppery liquor is hardly perceptible under the taste of lime on Harry's tongue and the swirling, spicy scent of his sweat, deodorant and cologne. Three in the morning is only marginally cooler than midday and after working all night, Louis is damp with sweat and beer and he smells like it. Thankfully, Harry doesn’t seem to mind. He cups the side of Louis’ neck, fingertips toying with the ends of Louis’ silver hair, tickling and sending a thrill through him as he inches closer.
Grabbing hold of Harry's hips, Louis shifts his stance, stepping one foot between Harry's and sliding a hand around to splay across his lower back under the blousy hem of his half-buttoned shirt. Tilting his head, their noses bump, and Harry pulls back, wet lips parted, panting. Louis hardly has time to breathe before Harry guides him into another kiss, holding him so tightly that his forearm presses between Louis’ shoulder blades while his hand cups Louis’ neck.
Hunching over Louis, his other hand tight on his hip, Harry bends him backwards—dipping him as if they were dancing—and Louis gasps into Harry's mouth. Hungrily, Harry sucks kisses over Louis’ jaw, down his neck to the hollow of his throat, dragging plush lips over the rough two-day beard Louis hasn’t bothered to shave before setting Louis back on his feet.
Share or describe a favorite review you received:
i can't pick one. i'm terrible at picking favorites! but i will say that every person who read rmby as a wip and commented as they went, you guys are the real mvps of my 2022 fic experience.
A time when writing was really, really hard:
all year. no joke. and i know it seems stupid to say because i've posted almost half a million words this year, but i struggled to enjoy writing for much of this year. deadlines really fuck with my head, so i'm hoping to avoid those next year
A scene or character you wrote that surprised you:
my entire fic for @wankersday in may. it's my first ever time writing girl!direction so i was very nervous and the whole thing surprised me while i was writing it and it continues to surprise me whenever i remember it exists
How did you grow as a writer this year:
idk man. i wrote a kid fic! and i wrote girl!direction. so that's 2 never before things in 2022
How do you hope to grow next year:
tbh i hope to grow in my ability to experience fomo and live with it. i hope to continue to strengthen my ability to say no lol. i'm only planning on writing for wankfest this year, so who knows what'll happen
Who was your greatest positive influence this year as a writer (could be another writer or beta or cheerleader or muse etc etc):
nic @louandhazaf is always in this spot. she's my #1, my best friend, the other half of my brain, and the only reason i write
Anything from your real life show up in your writing this year:
doesn't it always? though tbh nothing specific i can think of at the moment
Any new wisdom you can share with other writers:
just write. and listen to @roseanddaggerpodcast :D
Any projects you’re looking forward to starting (or finishing) in the new year:
i am going back to school in january, so fic writing is being bumped way down the list of my priorities for 2023. like i said above, i only plan to write for @wankersday in may, but tbh idk if i'll be able to. Other than that, I’m looking forward to recording @roseanddaggerpodcast
Tag some writers whose answers you’d like to read. ;)
well, i drafted this post weeks ago lol and since then i've been tagged by @larryyouknow @jacaranda-bloom @louistomlionson @allwaswell16 @haztobegood @louandhazaf @chai-hat-tea @larrysballetslippers and i'll also tag
@londonfoginacup @bananaheathen @disgruntledkittenface @fallinglikethis @sadaveniren @jaerie @lululawrence @absoloutenonsense @alwaysxlarrie @uhoh-but-yeah-alright @cyantific @littleroverlouis @onlythebravest and if i tagged you in an answer above, consider yourself tagged here as well
*All answers should be about works published in 2022

Age: 1450 years old Gender: He/Him Height: 7'8 feet Species: Lunar Salamander (He's like a moon lizard but also a cyclops) Sexuality: Pansexual Trivia: His species can grow to 1500 years old Voice Headcanon: Death (Puss in Boots 2: The Last Wish)
I'm gonna put his backstory under the cut because it is PRETTY LONG
But yeah! He was my first TOH OC and ofc he's associated with Belos bc I had to project some how
I'm also working on another one but they are still in the concept phase
[Also I have a bunch of fan kids so I guess they count as OCS too but I'll post about them tomorrow]
Backstory: Lunas comes from a clan that have very strict rules about 1. Promises and 2. Power. They all come from an Island just a bit off of the Titan. Each member of their clan gets tasked with a crystal that they need to return to the greater crystal after a trip off the island as a sign of coming of age. The crystal is to show love to the memory of the Titan.
Lunas was reaching the age [1000-ish] where he was going to have his chance to do so. With that he left his Island for his trip and came around the time where Belos was going around and preaching to towns.
He meets Belos and they get along decently, Lunas travels with him to learn from Belos as well as to protect him on his journey. Belos tells him about his mission for the titan and Lunas tells Belos of his Island.
Two things that Belos focuses in on was that Lunas was unable to break a promise. It is like a law that is made and it is so important to them, to break it would be to betray everything you were. The only way to get out is if the other person breaks the promise first, then you are unbound.
The second thing was that this crystal had the power to contain magic properly.
With his current issue with sigil magic this seemed like a great opportunity, but he couldn't manipulate it out of Lunas hands because Lunas already believe it was going to the Titan. So the next best thing?
Steal that crystal.
SO-
One night after Lunas and Belos have known eachother for at least a year, at most two, they're together all romantic like and Lunas tells Belos that he has feelings for him since he would have to leave for his island soon. Belos pretends to agree, not that he didn't think of Lunas an asset to him but yknow.. demons. How could he ever?
Lunas is happy and then Belos proposes a promise.
The promise was that they would be loyal to eachother, no matter what.
Afterwards, they fall asleep underneath the stars, not Belos though. He stays up to steal the crystal from him and replaces it with an illusioned rock that he had prepared to look similar.
It's time for Lunas to head back, but when he does the clan notices the crystal isn't the right one. When his clan finds out he's lost it, he's banished and exiled from them and the Island.
He returned back to the Boiling Isles, alone and unable to find Belos. Unsure of what else to do, he hermits himself in a cave and blocks off the outside world completely.
Lunas lived on the far side of the titan and took care of the flora and fauna around his cave but ultimately avoided any other people.
One day, he does leave his cave and he does hear about all of this coven, day of unity business. He isn't sure what to make of it, but he is sure that he made a promise to Belos that he would have his loyalty and since Lunas never knew what happened to his crystal, that promise has yet to be broken on Belos' side, so he wasn't going to break his promise.

Hi! I first want to say that I really enjoy your work; I remember reading a Steve/Bucky fic of yours years ago and really liking it but I don't think I had a ao3 account at the time so I completely forgot about it. But yesterday while I was (desperately) searching for some more Vegas/Pete fanfic I stumbled upon IFTG and binge read it a full sitting (yes I have been completely unproductive today but I do not consider it a waste as I have enjoyed every minute I spent reading your fic)
Secondly, and sorry if this has already been asked or if these are inapt questions
(I'm more of a lurker when it comes to social platforms so I'm not sure how these things go)
, but I just wanted to know how you got into KinnPorshe and what are you thoughts on the show and it's various ships? I personally got into it a bit late (literally like 2 weeks ago) and was just curious about your experiences with the fandom and opinions and what not
I was also hoping you could recommend some Vegas/Pete stories that you enjoy (I'm always looking for more 😅)
Again love your stories, hope your having a good day.
Omg thanks so much anon that’s really sweet! Oh hahahhaha sounds like a productive day to me lol
Oh don’t be sorry! I would say I’m more of a lurker too in fandom tbh like I’ll still comment on fic I read and stuff but I’m normally more of a hermit coming out of my cave tossing a fic on ao3 and then running for it hahahahah so I understand!
Oh well I guess when that first trailer came out it was blowing up on tumblr and I watched it and was intrigued about it (plus I love the Australian/Thai actor and I knew he’d be in it too) and I guess I ended up just sort of vague keeping in the loop about it because so many people were excited. I think I watched it from when it first aired if I remember right? Or a least maybe an Ep or two after that? I kind of do this thing where I stalk all the gifs of a show on tumblr and if I find it interesting then I decide to watch it lol. But yeah I wasn’t hugely involved in the fandom from what I’ve heard a lot of it was on Twitter which I don’t use so I can’t really give much of an general update. All I can say is it was a really exciting time when that first trailer came out and everyone eventually got worried it might never come out when it took so long for them to give an airing date after it
I’ve actually gotten more of a fandom experience since I started writing this fic and people started coming over to tumblr to talk to me!! Which has honestly been really great and a fun way to dip myself into the fandom community for kp
I’m sorry I haven’t actually read that many!! I’ve got an old post where I’ve answered that before but I’ll come back to this ask later and link it for you
At this stage I am actively trying not to read other stuff in the fandom because I don’t really want to be low key influenced by any fic if that makes sense? Like in a fandom you eventually get fandom generated character traits or truths that start to trickle across everyone’s fics and for the moment I’m trying to avoid it.
Thanks so much hope You have a wonderful day too!!

8, 25, 46, 54 please? Not to be greedy but...😁
Do you prefer the beginning, middle, or end of a story? Middle. Hands down. Middle chapters of trilogies are almost always my favorite... and usually when I'm writing, the first few scenes I start imagining are usually somewhere in the middle. It'll be an important scene that's the crux of the fic without being like... the climax or a major conflict. Something really crunchy that is the seed of all the other action in the fic. What fic do you wish you got more of a response on? Hmm. I mean, I'm like any writer and I love to have eyeballs on my work, and love interaction/response to said writing even more. So... I could cheat and say all of it, because that would certainly be true. But I also know that because I'm a fandom hermit, I definitely don't like... put myself out there to get eyes on my writing. I kinda just come down off Mount Fic with my story chiseled on a tablet, throw it into the ocean and then flee back to my cave. I could probably... I dunno... advertise myself better? But... that means I have to be social and I sometimes really struggle with online interactions. Is it possible to have social anxiety for online communication? Questions for later... But anyway. That said... Here's some fics I'd love to see more views/response to. "We Might Be Exactly Like We Were" MCU Steve/Bucky. Explicit. Post-Winter Soldier, Pre-Civil War alternate story. I was in a dark place when I wrote this, and I actually feel like I wrote my way out of it. The fic itself starts dark, but ends more optimistic and I'm just... really proud of how accurately I got my feelings on the page. There's a lot of sadness... both about my life and also the direction the canon went with these characters. But I tried to bring the joy that I wished for at the end. And as big as the fandom for Stucky is, I wish it had gotten more eyeballs. I'm really proud of it. "Crawling Down the Avenue" The Newsroom Sloan/Don. Explicit. Spoilers for... Season 2 I think? When I came back to fic writing after about a decade of hiatus, I started off writing fic for the show The Newsroom. It's great. Everyone should watch at least the first couple of seasons. Honestly... I probably don't wish for more engagement so much as just that the show still existed and had a bigger audience. But anyway, here it is. I really had fun writing this and loved this pairing. "Widow's Walk" NBC Hannibal, Hannigram. Explicit. Check the tags. Spoilers for the end of Hannibal. I was really pleased by the murder mystery I crafted here... though I could probably do better if I went back to give it a rewrite. Thank you for the excuse to shamelessly plug my stuff. <3 How would you describe your style? (Character/emotion/action-driven, etc) Oof. I honestly don't know. Probably character/emotion-driven. I actually asked @kaminaduck. He says that I tend to focus on characters' relationships to themselves as well as others... lots of asking about who they are and what that means to others and the wider world. Lots of self-determination... I tend to not be very action focused. It's a lot of time in the characters' heads. I also tend to write very percussively. I like for my writing to have poetry and rhythm, especially for dialogue or inner monologues. And there is some creative use of punctuation. And I also love me some pretentious vocabulary. It's just who I am as a person. I like words with texture and crunch. My therapist says she learns a new word from me every session. There's a reason I found a lot of success in the Hannibal fandom. XD What’s your favorite part about the fanfiction writing process?
It's usually finding that flint-on-tinder moment. I'm mulling and thinking and thinking and mulling and I know that there's something amazing buried around in the canon and then suddenly... the lightning strikes. The neurons connect. And now there's an idea. I've found some sort of connection or idea that gives a whole new dimension to a relationship or character or event and that's what really drives me. Other really good moments are when I have sketched out some of the important scenes and I get to the part where I can link them together. Like... for instance, when I was writing "Girl in the Garden" I wrote all of Natasha's scenes "inside the Soulstone" first. Not completely but just a few lines to capture what I wanted that scene to be... and it was always so satisfying to connect them as I'd get to them while writing in chronological order (which is how I write 90% of the time).
Thank you for the questions, sweet friend! Much love!

So I (M17) was reading over the yearly letter my best friend (M17) sends me before heading off on his own for the Winter. I had just been on a grand expedition myself just the Winter prior, and this time I was feeling particularly… yearny…. I don’t know. Anyway, so I packed up my boots and just a few commodities in my backpack and set off the the dangerous mountain scape that seals off my hometown from most of society. I traveled for days, so much so icicles formed on my face. By the time I finally scaled these thousand meter rocks I found the place my friend hermits during the season. It was a real cozy cave, and he had a fire going. Boy was he surprised to see me haha. So anyway he let me make myself at home and all was well but just as I thought we were getting to be comfortable together like we usually are in the Spring, he started to get all mad at me!! He pushed me away and thought we were better off apart :( Gods, I know he’s right, it was his personal time and I invaded it, even if I did miss him. But I’m a stubborn bastard so I went and found my own cave and started a fire (very cleverly) without him. But I may have gotten a little frustrated with the process (what are you supposed to do with dried beans?!!) and he came to save me, even though we were supposed to be fighting. But then!!!! He fell!!! That beautiful son of a bitch nearly became a snowball. Luckily he found a ledge, and I tried to find a rope to save him but got stuck too, whoops! 😅 but then we had a heart to heart in this blizzard… he told me he missed me too. Maybe it’s silly but at that moment my heart was hattifattener seeds and he was the moon. I really did think he was going to confess his love then—but my mom saved us from the cliff in the end, and I went home. I don’t know. Looking back I feel like such an asshole. I know the Winter is the time we need apart. And I intruded on the place he goes to be just himself. I just missed him, I dunno. AITA?
Edit: I got another letter from him. Delivered by some squirrel, isn’t that funny? He told me to meet him up there again. We saw the Northern Lights. They were beautiful.

I apologize in advance.
I will also share more notes about each one of these, not just writing.
WIP’s, in date of last posting:
#1 - The Lost and Found (is where I found you)
Desc: Identical twins, trans Xisuma and Ex, completely unaware that it’s the other when Ex signs up for a new job, but really, how long can they actually be in denial?
5 +1
MY CHILDREN.
#2 - The axolotl X series
Desc: Exactly what it sounds like
Will write more for the second work or answer questions about the third work I have planned
#3 - Role Reversal AU (no proper name yet)
Desc: Ex gets X banned to the Void in season one by lying to the Hermits and essentially taking his place. That’s it, that’s the fic.
Joking about the above I am overflowing with ideas
#4 - Who says we run from the sun? (No proper title so that’s what we’re calling it- I just made that up on the spot)
Desc: Voidwalker Xisuma escapes to season one after his home is destroyed. Unfortunately, he doesn’t know what these creatures are, and he doesn’t know that they’re saying.
#5 - The sillies with Xisuma and Wels
Desc: Series of agere X and Wels fics, essentially
#6 - “They placed that microphone into your hands and said ‘The world is listening to you, my friend’” (no official title, I just think Rule #35 - Microhone fits the fic, just a bit.)
Desc: Xisuma was born the Chosen One of their god, the one that would solve everything, once he came of age. Ex resents X for being the golden child, but many secrets lurk within that family.
#7 - Home is so far away (no proper title.)
Desc: Xisuma is kidnapped by these… things, he doesn’t know what they’re saying, and they’ve been playing with him, almost. X just really misses his home.
Drafts:
#1 - The People in the Glass
Desc: “While cleaning your attic, you find a box of glass balls with names on them. You accidentally drop one, and as soon as it shatters, a person appears.”
A prompt that was gonna be for a oneshot but got out of hand quickly
A strange group as our MC’s for this one (GIGS + BOATEM - Mumbo) don’t ask. I don’t know.
#2 - I loved you like the sun
Jimmy/Tango/Scott
Desc:
My friend coerced me into writing this /nm
#3 - You’re making a wreck of broken glass
Desc: The Hermits are unknowingly awful to Xisuma, traumatizing him
I don’t see enough of this trope so I needed to write some myself
#4 - Tales from the Void (Writren and Orchestrated by the Boatem Crew)
Desc: Stories from the Boatem crew in the Void, one chapter from each of their perspectives
#5 - Surviving (not the proper title.)
Desc: Little nightmares as hermitcraft.
I came up with this recently and I’m already so ready to write. I love it.
#6 - I forget what it’s like to be normal (not offical title)
Desc: Aftermath of season 8, Xisuma is sort of suffering. The fact that the Hermits don’t know he’s trans is making it worse, and he wish it didn’t have to.
I made Jeff even worse if that was possible.
Suggested by and also brainstormed by my friends
#7 - Platonic Soulmates (no proper title)
Desc: Everyone has a soulmate, maybe two, although it doesn’t mean that they’re destined for a relationship that’s what it’s mostly taken as. Hermits and their platonic soulmates <3
#8 - Oh No! (No proper title)
Desc: Rise, peak, fall and demise of the Evil Emporium
A rewrite of the one I posted a while ago and was not at all satisfied by
#9 - “I wonder when it’s caving in” (no title yet)
Evil Xisuma/Helsknight
Desc: Ex and Hels are in a long distance relationship, but when Ex moves to America, it starts tearing them up inside.
Songfic of Black Hole Fantasy (The Crabe Wives)
#10 - If I can survive (not official title)
Xisuma/OC
Desc: Xisuma is a completely normal teenager. Going to school, messaging his friends. Getting into fights with his boyfriend. Not being able to get rid of the worry that he didn’t make the right choice. Calling his sibling. Perfectly normal!
Songfic of Blood in the Cut (K.Flay)
Many, many creative liberties were taken
I just wanna note that I don’t like this ship either. I want to throw this OC in the blender so much. He’s just there for plot reasons.
#11 - Knight school (no proper title)
Desc: Based on this oneshot and expanding on it because it got the ideas flowing
#12 - Digging up the past (not a proper title)
Desc: Xisuma and Doc have a complicated history. What happens when they return to the scene of it all, make discoveries, and even have their friends with them this time…
#13 - I thought I lost you (no proper title)
Desc: An old animation I made up in my mind I can make into a songfic
Song is Hold On (Chord Overstreet)
#14 - “The only friend I ever had wore black and red” (not a proper title, stole the lyrics it was inspired by)
Evil Xisuma/Helsknight
Desc: Mostly fluff, conversation with Ex and Hels after they’ve woken up.
Oneshot
#15 - Experiment AU (not the proper title)
Desc: What it sounds like. Work #1 is about the hermits themselves and the main experiments done on them, the second will be their own story…
#16 - Tango’s at the bottom of the ocean (not official title)
Desc: Mer au, at least everyone except for Tango - who, as a blaze hybrid should burn out in water. Which is what he expects when he falls in the middle of the ocean one day and passes out, but he wakes up? With hybrids surrounding him he’s never seen before?
#17 - Learning (not proper title)
Desc: Admin school, featuring Xisuma, Scott, Fwhip and Grian as dorm mates.
#18 - Dots of shame
Desc: Crack chatfic without any real purpose
Oneshot
#19 - Pizza. (Not proper title)
Desc: Crack mainly chatfic based on the idea of this tumblr post because it’s really silly
Oneshot
#20 - Meddling gods (not official title)
Desc: Xisuma keeps losing his memory periodically, and every time he regains it, more and more of it slips away, so he finally makes a journal. One day, a few Hermits find that journal and realize what their admin is going through
#21 - Bee boy (not official title)
Desc: S7 X turned to the size of a bee
Unintentionally inspired by this, I FINALLY FOUND IT AGAIN. I HOPE.
#22 - Hugs for Ren (not proper title)
Desc: Ren has sensitive hearing, and the Hermits try to be careful of this, but when they aren’t able to, the best thing they’ll be able to do is make it right…
Oneshot
#23 - “I love you but what in the world…” (not official title)
Evil Xisuma/Helsknight
Desc: Ex comes home, more than a little intoxicated. Hels is concerned, especially because they won’t tell him why, but he takes care of them.
Oneshot
Drafts but more concept-y:
a.k.a - I’ll only work on notes and share some of those instead, I just can’t really get writing done with what I have atm! (Might change)
#1 - Creaking!Hels??? (No official title)
Evil Xisuma/Helsknight
Desc: Hels spirals when Ex leaves for season 8, though he doesn’t mean to, he gets into a bad situation.
#2 - Old AU (no title)
Desc: Watchers and kidnapping and different dimensions in a strange modern!AU ish setting
My oldest AU I started writing a year ago.
Love the concept, desperately needs rewriting if it’s ever gonna be posted
#3 - And the universe said
Desc: An attempt at strung together oneshots from the End Poem
#4 - Triplets AU (no title yet)
Desc: Pix, Xisuma and Ex have all changed since they were kids, in their own ways, although it is mostly for the better.
My beloved, absolute oldest AU, never written down and newly adapted. So many things in this.
#5 - Hero/Villain (no proper title)
Desc: That’s kind of it? That’s the AU, hero, villain, vigilante, civilian or civilian with spice, the AU
#6 - Gods AU (no proper title)
Desc: The Hermits and co. are gods or other such deity’s, however, when the pantheon is cast down into the mortal plane, separated, and their memory is lost for unknown reasons- who knows what could happen.
I could actually write snippets from it, but I won’t write anything prematurely
#7 - Highschool AU (no proper title)
Desc: Part chatfic part not, just the adventures of the Hermits and Esmp members, etc through highschool.
#8 - Princess (not official title)
Desc: A trans Wels AU, where he is royalty/involved in royalty
A songfic of Seventeen (MARINA and the Diamonds)
#9 - Royals (not official title)
Desc: The Voids are a prominent royal family that many fear, but they have a lot they’re hiding.
#10 - They’re brothers, your honor (not official title)
Desc: Xisuma and Ex are twins, which would be normal, except for the fact that they're half Helasian and half Overworlder. Those two shouldn't be able to mix.
#11 - Three chances (not official title)
Desc: Hermitcraft turns into third life, turns out their admin wasn't who they thought he was...
Inspired by Nothing Ever Changes (Nico Collins)
Probably a songfic
#12 - Immortals (not official title)
Desc: Xisuma and Ex are immortal. More like, once they hit a certain age, they stopped aging, they don’t actually know if they can still die or not. They’ve both sworn off making friends other than each other because they know it will only lead to more heartbreak, but Xisuma accidentally falls in with a crowd of people, and he doesn’t want to admit he’s gotten attached.
Old Au
#13 - Time travel? (Not official title)
Desc: A few hermits end up somewhere that's not their home. There's strange people, but some of them look vaguely familiar... and they claim this place is Hermitcraft...
#14 - Home safety (not official title)
Desc: Hermitcraft home safety hotline AU
I have more, mostly more concept-y than the above. Let me know if you want more. I will give.

How We Accidentally Violated Instagram’s Community Guidelines. | Chris Evans
Summary: After a Drunken Night out Chris suggests making a little home Video not realizing that one day the whole world just might get to see him in the most sexy way possible.
Warnings: Home Made sex tape, Cursing, mentions of being drunk, consensual sex, Oral (F Receiving), Dom:Chris (if you squint), begging (m&f), violating Instagram’s Community guidelines, posting sex tape, Private relationship, jokes about sex and leaving the relationship.
A/N: Pictures for the moodboard came from pinterest they are not mine.. I got the idea for this little story from a song called : “Fuck Flowers.” by Noah Davis. I thought it would a fun , light hearted little story.. I hope you guys enjoy. feel free to let me know what you think.
Chris had never really been great with social Media; half the time you had to help him, which is why his instagram remained mostly pictures of Dodger or whatever project he might be working on at the time. The two of you had tried very hard to keep your relationship private; not that it was a secret it just wasn't something you really wanted everyone and their opinions up in. so you did your very best to keep things between you and Chris.
It wasn’t like there weren't rumors or people just assuming you were together based on paparazzi photos because it’s not like the two of you lived like hermits. But Chris was growing tired of not being able to post about his gorgeous girlfriend and all the cute, funny, sexy things that you do. Eventually he caved and well that’s how you ended up in the situation you were currently in.
It was late one night and the two of you had come home from some premiere party, tipsy and giggly. After stumbling through the door, Chris barely able to keep his lips, or his hands off of you, the two of you making it recklessly towards your bedroom, dress shoes and heels, pants and a dress shirt and tie, a long black dress all making the way to the floor as the two of you fumbled your way down the hall. Chris’s lips crashing into yours as his hand slid down your back unzipping your dress, it pooling to the floor around your ankles. You step out of it and into Chris’s arms. You giggle. He smirks. The touch of his long fingers setting your skin on fire with desire for him. “I have an Idea.” he growls in your ear. You raise an eyebrow at your mischievous boyfriend. His lips graze your neck and you whine. “Let’s make a video.” he suggests with a wicked grin on his face.
Now generally you would have been more inclined to say no but because of all the liquor you had both consumed during the party you are more open for suggestions than you should have been. You bite your lip looking at him. His eyes dance across your body taking you in. “Come on baby, it will be fun, just for us.” he sighs in your ear, lips grazing that sweet spot on your neck and you give in. “Alright.” you practically moan as he touches you. “I’ll take care of everything baby. You just keep looking like the sexiest woman on the planet. “ he winked at you and you couldn’t help the laugh that came from your mouth.
You slid onto the bed as you watched Chris dash around the room. He set his phone on the dresser across from the bed and made his way over to you. “You are my everything you know.” he whispers as his body is above yours in seconds. “Better be, especially after this.” you laugh and he shuts you up with a kiss. Hands all over your body. You arch your hips up into him begging him for more. “So eager for me already.” he whispers with a chuckle. Chris had been teasing you all night so it wasn’t unfair to say that you were very ready for him.
He reached between you and his long finger danced gently over your clit and you moaned his name out loud. “Mmm.” he hums. And you know he’s putting on the show for the camera just because he can and because he may still be a little drunk. “Chris, please.” you beg him to stop teasing you and just get to it already, you’ve been waiting for him all night. “That’s it baby beg for me.” he groans as his lips kiss down your chest, teasing each nipple with his tongue, you wiggle beneath him. His lips continue down your body, leaving soft little hickies behind, just so you were reminded in the morning just who you belonged to, even though you knew without a doubt already.
You feel his breath on your thigh and you beg for him again. He kisses your inner thigh gently. You reach for him. Those gorgeous blue eyes looking up at you from between your thighs now. “Please!” you whisper. So quietly the words were almost silent. He licked his lips, gave you a little wink and before you could even think twice his wide tongue separated your folds, your hands fell to his hair, pulling gently as you guided him with each tug of the light brown strands. “Jeus Chris.” you swear. God he was so good at this. You arch your hips into him as he adds a finger or two to increase your pleasure. “That’s right baby cum for me.” he whispers, he can feel your core tightening. “Chrriisssss, Fuckkkkk.” you call out as you do as your told. A deep groan leaves his mouth and you feel it resonate through your entire body.
He kisses back up your body till he reaches your lips, kissing you wildly, your taste still on his lips. “You taste so good.” he groans as you reach between your bodies, stroking him gently. “See what you do to me baby girl, that’s all for you.” he bites your lip. “Fuck.” he moans as you work him. “Switch me.” you say. He looks at you not sure what you are asking. “Come on baby, let me on top.” you beg. He liked to be in control but since you were throwing all the rules out the window tonight, he could let you have this one thing.
At this point you both had forgotten the camera and were just enjoying each other. He smirked. “Alright baby.” he says as he switches his hips so you're on top of him now. “Now this is a view I could get used to.” his groans biting his lip. His hands falling to your hips, gripping them tightly as he looked over your body as your hips spread wide over him. “Come on babe, stop teasing me, ride me.” he demands. “Oh Mr. Evans… Where ever are your patients..” you whine, fingers dancing across his chest.. Taking your time on him like he had done with you. Making him beg for it.
The grip on your hips tightened, fingertips in your skin as you adjusted your hips slowly down his length. Both of you let out a sinful moan. “God, you feel so good.” he groans. As you begin slowly. Watching him below you. His sounds, his faces. “Fuck.” he groans. You can't help the grin that graces your lips. Your fingers gripped his chest as his hips bucked into you begging for more. You wondered how much longer he would give you control like this. You just knew he wouldn’t be able to relinquish control to you. And you had never been more right.
“I can’t.” he growls as he leans up wrapping his arms around you holding your bodies together, hips crashing into yours pushing himself deeper into you causing you to curse loudly. “Chris.” you whine the pair of you lost deep in each other’s eyes. Your fingertips leaving scratches down his back. “Come on baby, we’re almost there. Fuckk.” he called as he felt you tightening around him. He leaned forward into you kissing your neck, biting gently. “Cum baby.” he demands and the sound of his voice is so rough and sexy that you have no choice but to do as you're told.
“Ohhhh Christopherrrrrrrr.” you draw out his name as you cum hard around him. He lets out a growl and he follows soon after you as he fucks you through your high. The two of you collapse onto the bed. Both exhausted. Chris is holding you in his arms. “I love you.” he whispers. Long fingers tucking a long strand of hair behind your ear that was in your eyes. You smile. “I love you too, Chris…So very much.” you whisper, bringing his lips to kiss yours. He moans into your lips. You smirk. “Round two?” He raises an eyebrow. “One condition.” you smirk at him. “Anything.” he whines. “No more Camera.” you ask. He winks. “Alright.” he playfully sighs. “Thank you.” you say sobering up enough to remember.
He wraps a blanket from the bed around himself and gets up to turn the phone off, smirking as he sees the little thumbnail of the video there on his phone. He tosses it onto the bedside table and returns to you in bed.
The next morning you wake up tangled in sheets and Chris’s body. You smirk as you roll over to see him still sound asleep. You kiss him gently. “ I love you, handsome.” you whisper as you get up from bed and head to the shower. Catching your body in the full length mirror, noticing all the little love marks Chris had left. You couldn’t help my smile. You turned on the shower to warm, letting the water cascade cross your skin. Images of last night dance in your mind.
You get dressed and head back out the bedroom where you find Chris on his phone. “Morning Sweetheart.” he says with a smile. You lean over to kiss him. “You smell good.” he whispers, wrapping his arms around you, getting lost in you sent. You giggle. “What are you doing over here?” you ask him. “Checking my schedule to see what’s going on the next few weeks.” he sighs. “Anything on the schedule for the day?” you ask him as Dodger comes running in and jumping on the bed. Both of you laugh. “Nope, today is all clear.” he says, leaning up to kiss you again as he gets up from bed and heads to the shower. “You know if your lazy ass had been up you should have showered with me.” you call from the bed as you sit there playing with Dodger. He pokes his head from the bathroom door. “Well if you hadn’t kept me up all night, I wouldn’t have had to sleep in.” he smirks. “Don’t blame me, Christopher.” you laugh. As you and Dodger head out of the room. Chris smacking your ass as you walk by. You give him a look over your shoulder. He raises an eyebrow with a grin. You shake your head and leave the room.
The weeks passed and with both of your busy schedules you two had forgotten about the little video that you two had made on that silly drunken night.
“Happy Birthday, babe.” Chris whispers as he rolls over to kiss you. “Thank you, my love.” you smile. Chris had the day all planned out for you. Breakfast in bed, a spa day with your bestie, dinner with him at a fancy restaurant. Cake and ice cream with your families afterwards. But he wanted to start the day with a little tribute to you. So headed over to instagram where he made a sweet little post about his birthday girl; sharing pictures of you and him, and you and Dodger, and you just simply being adorable. “Happy Birthday to the most Beautiful, smart, courageous, funny, adorable woman I know. Dodge and I would be so lost without you.” he posted with hearts.
“Aww Chris.” you say as you notice the tag. “You didn’t have to do that.” you say. There was silence. “I know, and I know we said we’d like to keep to ourselves but it’s your birthday and I just want the world to appreciate my girl as much as I do.” he whispers, kissing you. You blush. He honestly was the sweetest man. You slowly scrolled through the pictures.
Laughing at each one he had picked, memories flooding into your mind. Chris’s voice interrupts your laugh. “Hey babe.” he says. Coming back into the room. “Yeah.” you say looking up from your phone. “What does it mean that I violated Instagram's Community guidelines with my post?” he says handing over the phone. You look at him confused. So far you hadn’t seen anything that would violate any guidelines.
You continue to swipe through the photos then you get to the last one. “OH NO!” you gasp. “What?” he says looking scared. “Chris, you accidentally posted “THE VIDEO” of us.” you say trying to delete his post as quickly as possible but you knew it was too late. “What video…Ohhh.Ohh..No.” he gasps as he realizes what video you were talking about.
“I deleted the post you can redo it later but that’s why you got that notification because you posted our sex video on instagram, well a snippet of it anyways.” you try to laugh but you knew that post was out there long enough that it wouldn’t take long before it was allllllll over the internet and sure enough you had been right. You hand him the phone back and he remakes the post minus the sex tape. “I'm sorry.” he whispers. “It’s okay babe.. You didn’t know.” you say trying to hold back a laugh at his silly mistake.
Texts and messages started to come in. “What the heck are y'all doing?” friends texted. You laugh. “Funny story.” you respond. “CHRIS EVANS ACCIDENTALLY INSTAGRAMS PRIVATE SEX TAPE WITH GIRLFRIEND.” the headlines read. “Girl Listen to that moan, My fucking God.” “I always knew he was good with his mouth. Just look at her.” “Luckiest girl on the planet.” “What a lucky guy, look how hot she is.” “Chris Evans and his Girlfriend accidentally releasing a bit of their sex tape, best day EVER.” “I knew they were together honestly every time a pap got a pic of them there was no denying that chemistry, they way they looked at each other, fuck I want that.” “How does one get Chris Evans to fuck them like this… asking for a friend.” “Happy Birthday to me… and it’s not even my birthday…” Were just a small portion of the comments that appeared from the internet... The nice ones anyways.
“So much for our private relationship.” you smirk. “I'm so sorry.. I didn’t realize.” he keeps apologizing. But you can’t help the smile that crosses your lips. “Chris, it’s fine. Honestly we will get through it. It’s gunna be a lot of talk for a while but you know what Happy Birthday to the world, You’re Welcome you get to hear Chris Evans Moan.” you joke. And he finally cracks a smile.
You wrap your arms around him. “I love you.” he says knowing that the two of you will just have to make light of the situation and move on. “I love you too, hope no one tries to steal me away after they find out how good i am in bed.” you laugh as you kiss him heading out to your spa day. He grumbles. “They wish they could steal you away but just look at that face...” he pulls up the video from his phone. “There’s no way anyone else would be able to make you cum like that.” he laughs pointing out one particular part in your little video.. You give him a look. “Shut it Evans.” you glare at him. Knowing he was right. “I love you, have fun at the spa, Happy Birthday and I’ll see you tonight.” he says with a smirk. You blow him a kiss and head out patting Dodger on the head before leaving.
Today was going to be a very interesting birthday indeed.
The End. <3

idk how to continue this one but i also don’t want to leave it just sitting forever so it may be a mess but i’m posting it anyway. think up your own endings or continue it or something.
it’s essentially a timeline divergence from War in Hermittown, so its again watcher!grian, avian!grian, hermit!tommy and triplet au.
hermit!tommy is from @petrichormeraki and this triplet au is mainly based on @strawberrylemonz ’s work.
For the first time since Tommy’s death, Tubbo finally had something to hope for. After some begging and pleading and proving he wasn’t going to do anything bad, Techno agreed to help the teen out with attempting to summon Tommy’s ghost.
Ghostbur was there as they worked as Tubbo thought having a ghost helping out would make things more likely to work. They set up a type of summoning platform, not quite sure how it would work and troubleshooting as they went. They all froze as Philza walked in, just coming to visit Techno. “What’s going on here?”
“Uh, we’re trying to summon Tommy’s ghost.” Tubbo answered feebly under Phil’s gaze.
He looked around at the mess they had made and the summoning platform they had created. “Really? Did you think this was going to work?” Philza asked, making Tubbo look away, feeling ashamed. “Obviously you need soul torches instead of regular ones. And the center should be cobble since it’s his favorite block.”
With the four of them working together, then managed to complete the platform and Tubbo activated it. The torches suddenly blazed taller, the blue flames nearly turning white. Energy filled the air and in the center of the platform, purple magic swirled until Tommy was there, curled up in a ball in the middle.
Before any of them could get out of the shock of Tommy being there, he shifted and grumbled. “Ugh… fucking put your wing back G. this place has no fucking insulation.” His hand blindly grabbed the air before he finally sat up. “Wait, what the fuck?”
Tubbo was the first to break the silence. “Tommy!”
Tommy looked over and his eyes lit up seeing his friend. “Tubbo?” He was hugged by his friend. “Where the hell are we?”
“We summoned you back! And I guess it went pretty well since it also brought you back to life.”
“Back to life? Tubbo I didn’t di- wait we?” Tommy pulled away from the hug and saw Ghostbur, Techno and Philza. “Oh. Tubbo, did you bring me back to the smp?” Tubbo nodded. “And do you have a way to send me back?”
“What? No! Why would you want to go back?”
“Tubbo, I didn’t die, I ran off. Some people found me and took me in. Fuck, when G realizes I’m missing things aren’t gonna go well.”
“Tommy.” Philza started to speak but Tommy stopped him.
“No, you don’t get it. If he realizes I’m gone, he might come here and overreact and might hurt you guys.”
Tommy watched as they all glanced at each other. “Tommy, what kind of person did you end up with?” It was Techno that spoke. And before Tommy could answer his oldest brother, more purple magic swirled, though not at the summoning platform.
Tommy gave out a slight curse and Philza spread his damaged wings to protect Techno and Tubbo as someone appeared. Philza immediately recognized the signs of a Watcher, though the lack of a mask was different. “Tommy.”
“Heeeey Grian. Let me explain. No one’s at fault. I’m fine.”
“You disappeared.”
“Yep, just some people worried about me. Thought I was dead or something.”
Philza readied a weapon the moment the Watcher moved but wasn’t able to do more. Tommy was suddenly captured by the Watcher and he didn’t even try to escape which worried Phil even more.
“And you think I wouldn’t assume the same when you were suddenly gone?” The Watcher then looked down at the summoning platform and broke it. “Now let’s go home, ‘dad’ is going to be worried when he notices we’re both gone.”
“You’re not taking him anywhere Watcher.” Philza spoke, now ready to fight and not just protect. Techno also looked prepared for battle though his dad still tried to keep him back. “Tommy’s my son and he’s going to stay here.”
The Watcher looked over at Philza and the three behind him. They looked familiar. Possibly from the MCC tournaments. “Ah, so you’re the ones Tommy has mentioned. Well, even more of a reason to take him away.”
“Please, don’t take Tommy!” Tubbo managed to push past Philza. The hardcore player tried to stop them, but the teen managed to dodge his hands. “He’s my best friend. I don’t want to lose him again.”
The Watcher looked down at Tubbo, tilting his head slightly. “Tommy?”
“Yeah, he’s telling the truth. He’s big T.”
Philza managed to pull Tubbo back when he saw the Watcher’s eyes glint. “Don’t you dare try to take anyone else. I know what you Watchers do.”
The Watcher frowned. “I don’t think you do. Or you do and you deserve what’s happening to you. Based on the horror stories Tommy has told, I think it’s the latter.” Tommy tried to complain about what the Watcher said but was shushed. “Now, we can always change things, but it looks like Tubbo should be coming with me. You’ve lost your rights to children.”
Philza could do nothing as magic pulled Tubbo next to the Watcher. But he was still able to attack. It was timed just right and as the Watcher tried to leave, he was right there and it pulled him along.
Techno tried to follow along but was too late and just stood where the four now missing people had just been.
When they arrived on the other side, Grian was the only one with a graceful landing. Tommy did okay, but wasn’t used to it. Tubbo and Philza ended up completely face planting on the ground though.
“I didn’t mean to bring you along.” Grian addressed Philza. “I’ll have to take you back before-“ his communicator started ringing. “Nevermind. Hiiii X. No everything’s fine. Tommy just got vaguely kidnapped back to his old world. Yeah. Well I brought a friend of Tommy’s with me. Well they just managed to come along. Yes of course I’ll take him back. Xisuma are you actually asking me to abuse my Watcher powers?”
Before Grian could say anything more, Philza grabbed onto Tommy and Tubbo and started pulling them into the nearby jungle. He gave a shout and started to run after them, but was distracted by the call he was on and was easily tripped up.
“Phil Phil Phil Phil Phil!” Tommy repeated as he tried to pull away. “Phil c’mon we can’t just wander through the jungle! I’m sure if you just talk with Grian he won’t take you back, though X might need convincing.”
“No Tommy. That’s a Watcher. I don’t know how much it’s told you, but they’re dangerous and-”
Tommy dug his heels into the ground. “Dangerous? What? No Grian is, well he’s maybe a bit more dangerous because he’s a Watcher but he’s a pretty chill dude. He doesn’t really use his powers or anything even though he probably could.”
“And what about the other Watcher? You said it was named X?” Philza managed to tug Tommy along a bit further.
“X isn’t a Watcher, he’s an admin. Grian’s the only- look can we just go back and explain it when we’re not running?!” This time Tommy stopped harshly enough and pulled back enough that the avian lost his grip and Tommy was able to get away. He started back towards where they had come from, causing Tubbo to also pull away from Philza.
Phil attempted to grab Tubbo, but he was already running off. He tried to follow along, but ended up moving too fast and tangling himself up in vines. By the time he was free, neither of the teens were anywhere in sight and the hardcore player had to wander aimlessly in the jungle.
He was in a place with absolutely no landmarks and at this point Philza was sure he was just going in circles. The place also had enough shade that some mobs spawned, and dealing with them made him feel even more lost as the small fights left him turned around. Finally, he started going perfectly straight, ignoring any mob he saw and mining away anything in his way. There was no way he could get lost doing that.
It worked perfectly until he broke through a hill instead of going over it. Phil mined right into a cave and there was the surprised shriek of someone who seemed to be hiding there. The hardcore player’s eyes met with the screen of a computer monitor, a face displayed on it. Before he could really react to that, it moved away, making him notice it was attached to a body. It turned a corner and there was the sound of it colliding with something out of Phil’s view.
“What’s going on?”
“Someone broke in!”
Philza paused at the young voices. The first sounded like they could be around Tommy or Tubbo’s age, but the second one sounded much younger.
“Who was it? Scar? If so he probably just crashed a few too many times and needs a place to rest.”
“No! That’s the problem! I don’t know who it is!”
Philza paused, having been slowly approaching the voices. He reached the corner but didn’t look around it just yet. “Then perhaps they are dressed up. I’m sure there is a reasonable ex-” they stopped speaking as they turned the corner and saw Philza. Phil blinked upon seeing another screen faced being and it responded similarly. “Oh, I see. This really is someone new.”
The first one came around the corner and immediately clung to the second. “Who are you!” It spoke, seeming much more confident while next to its larger twin.
Philza stared at the two of them, thoughts about why they were here, what they were and what they knew ran through his head. But he did eventually answer them. “My name is Philza. What about you two?”
“My name is Grumbot and this is Jrumbot.” The taller- by their names Phil assumed they were robots -spoke. “May I ask what you are doing in here now?”
“Well, got a bit lost. Me and my family were kidnapped and brought here and I’m trying to find them again so we can go home.”
“Kidnapped?” The smaller robot asked before he lit up with an idea. “Evil X! He probably did it!”
The hardcore player gave a small sigh of relief. It seemed these two were against the Watchers in this world. “Yeah, I remember that name. Now we got split up in this jungle. There were three of us. Tommy ran off first and Tubbo went after him.”
“Wait, Tommy and Tubbee?” Jrumbot asked, now looking very confused. “But Tubbee’s here and Tommy’s with dad.”
Before Phil could ask more questions, Grumbot made a sound akin to clearing his throat. “Jrumbot, a diamond if you would? It should help us.” the hardcore player watches as a diamond was handed to the taller robot and he placed it into a slot on his monitor. “I see. You are Philza, a former king and father to a total of four sons, adopted a fifth, and have three grandsons.”
“I- wait three? Wait no how do you know this?” Philza asked, stunned, but he got no answer as Grumbot turned to Jrumbot.
“Can you call dad? I’m sure this is much more important than whatever he’s doing.”
Jrumbot nodded and pulled out a communicator. Philza wanted to move or speak but he just felt frozen. Was their information wrong? They didn’t know who he was a minute ago and suddenly they claimed to know more than he did. Or were they really right and- his thoughts were cut off as Jrumbot started to speak.
“Daaaad. Grum and me were playing and someone broke into our cave and we’ve never seen him before but Grum knows stuff about him and says you need to come here cause it’s really really really important.”
“Oh! Perfect! I’m actually looking for some new people!” Philza recognized Grian’s voice coming through the phone. It shocked him and he almost yelled at the phone but then a second voice came through it.
“What do they look like? And don’t say they’re wearing green since they both wear green. Do they look old or young, what color’s their hair, tell me stuff like that?”
“Tommy?” Philza spoke and the phone was quiet for a few seconds.
“Okay, Grian, you head there, I’ll keep looking for Tubbo.”
“Tubbee is here!” Jrumbot spoke into the phone, earning a laugh from Tommy.
“I’m sure he is, but someone else named Tubbo instead of Tubbee is lost in the jungle.”
“Oh, okay!” the small robot said happily before hanging up the phone.
Philza suddenly grabbed the two robots and pulled them towards the opening he had made. “Come on, we can’t stay here. The person you just called is the one who kidnapped us and for some reason Tommy thinks they’re safe to be around. It seems like you two think the same.”
“But he is safe.” Jrumbot said, letting himself be dragged, though he did pull away briefly to untie a lead and hold it, a bee now following behind them. “He’s our dad! And he didn’t kidnap Tommy!”
“I’m sure that’s what he wants you to think.” Phil continued to pull them along, glad at least for the lack of resistance from the two of them. “He’s a Watcher, and those are dangerous. They mess with worlds and-”
He wasn’t able to say more as Grian landed in front of him. He was surprised to see the Watcher wings looked more natural like an avian’s wings, but the rest of him looked similar enough for Phil to recognize him. “Dad!” Jrumbot pulled his arm away, leaving Phil trying to grab him again, but instead he grabbed the lead holding the bee that was being pulled along. The sudden tension made the small robot fall over.
Philza pulled Jrumbot back to him and pushed both him and Grumbot behind them, once more using his damaged wings as a shield.
“What are you doing with my kids?” Grian spoke, sounding serious.
“Protecting them from you.” Philza spat out.
“Prote- You’re the one they should be protected from. Tommy didn’t mention a lot of people he thought he could trust. And I’m sure you’re not one of those people.”
“Then he forgot or was scared to tell you.”
“No, you’re just one of the people he wanted to trust but instead hurt him so much none of us could approach him for the longest time without terrifying him.”
It looked like the two avians were going to argue more, but Jrumbot managed to sneak under one of Phil’s damaged wings and run to Grian. “Dad, he doesn’t seem that mean. He just thinks Watchers are bad or something.”
Grian glared once more at Philza before sighing and looking down at Jrumbot. “Well you’ve seen how Tommy can get sometimes. In fact, he might really need Tubbee for a bit soon.” Jrumbot frowned and crossed his arms, making Grian laugh a little bit.
“Dad, I believe there more-” Grumbot started to speak, but there was suddenly a shout from the trees nearby.
“Grian! I found Tubbo again!” Tommy emerged from the trees pulling Tubbo along. “I explained the gist of things to him and he seems okay with it.”
“Dad really this is-”
“Great. Meanwhile I caught up with the bots and this guy. He was trying to take them away from me.”
“Dad please his name-”
“What the fuck?! Phil these are his kids!”
“Da-”
“Do you want Tubbee now?”
“DAD THIS IS PHILZA MINECRAFT!” Grumbot finally had enough and turned his speech volume to its highest level. Tubbee flew around in shocked circles, Tubbo pulled themself closer to Tommy and Grian and Philza’s feathers ruffled in shock. “As I’m sure you’re aware he is also the king of the former Antarctic Empire.”
“Oh, well that changes things.” Grian said in a matter of fact tone before pulling his sword out. “Now I’m even more upset. This is what you became?!”
Philza drew a weapon of his own. “Oh, so you’ve been watching me for a while, have you?”
The three others looked at Grumbot with a range of expressions from concerned to confused. “Grum what the fuck is going on?”
The older robot just gestured to the two avians staring each other down, each waiting for the other to make a move or let their guard down. “Dad is upset at learning that this is Philza.”
“And what does that have to do with anything?” Tubbo asked, not sure how much of this was brand new and how much of this he didn’t know from not being with Tommy.
“Oh, because Grian is one of Philza’s sons.”
“G’s what?!” Tommy yelled, surprised. At the same time, Philza looked over in shock at Grumbot, having heard what was said. Grian took that as a chance to knock Philza down to the ground.
For a full minute, everything was quiet and no one, except Tubbee, moved. Then, Jrumbot seemed to process the information. “Yay! A grandpa!” And he jumped on top of Phil, easily winding him from the weight of simply being a robot.
Grian pinched the bridge of his nose. “Okay, fine. Let’s go to my mansion and talk this out. We can get X and Mumbo to come too.”

The boys suecessfully recieved a diamond each
Etho n Iskall are travelling together!! You dont see those two together often
Etho got a glowsquid head!!
Gem: “Etho doesn’t share, is what i’m learning..?”
Etho hooked her with a fishing rod and said she has to do what he said .
In order to get the diamonds, Tango, Keralis, and BDubs placed down a sign saying “Gem is Great!” and Gem used a glow inksack on it.
Etho: “So..What is this? Do you have an ego, or this a motivational thing, or..?” He said, while laughing
Iskall: “I think its really funny that you have set your base up in the middle of a birch forest.” Gem: “I love birch forests! Do you not like my birch forest? Iskall: “I love it, yeah.” Gem: “This is the best biome in the game, Iskall.” Iskall: “Mmmm..” Etho: “I’m pretty sure I heard Iskall talking earlier that like, of all the biomes in the game, there was one he hated more than anything. Gem: “Oh really? And what was that one?” Iskall: “..Taiga.” Gem: “Taiga.. That’s true, thats a good one, thats a good one.” Iskall: “Don’t like Taiga.” Gem: “Mhm.” Etho: “Which one do you hate more than anyone?” Iskall: “..Diorite fields. Thats a bad one.” Etho: “Yeah thats a bad one.” Gem: “Didn’t know about that one. Well make sure to avoid’em. Birch forests are really good.” Iskall: “I’m a big fan of birch forests.” Gem: “Yeah, me too, me too. I’m glad we’re on the same page :) This is so beautiful! All the white and- and the like zebra stripes! is fantastic.” Iskall: “I..Um.. Yes.”

He was working in the Mesa in his intro, skipping the “speech” from Mumbo
He released Idiot the Axolotl and lost it .

In The Lyrics, does Paul have entries about Somedays, Calico Skies or Eat at Home?
he does :) posting them under a cut here :
CALICO SKIES
If Linda was asked what her sign was, she used to say ‘No Parking’. I never paid much attention to astrology, and I think that’s because there was so much endless chatter about star signs in the sixties. For what it’s worth, I’m a Gemini. With Gemini you’re born in the middle of the year, so there’s all that bit of the year gone and there’s all this bit of the year to come and you are born slap-bang in the middle. Apparently, I’m told, it affects your character. I definitely have this yin-yang thing, but I suppose everyone does: ebony and ivory; hello and goodbye; you say yes, I say no. Often I’m playing with that sense of dichotomy. I’m a true Gemini. The opening phrase in this song – ‘It was written that’ – refers to the idea that one’s fate is indeed ‘written’ in the stars. ‘Calico skies’? Who knows what that might be. I might’ve heard the phrase somewhere, but I’m claiming it. I know calico is a kind of cotton cloth that came originally from the city I knew as Calcutta, now Kolkata, and it would be nice to think that this song increased the popularity of calico. Today I was looking at some sleeve notes associated with the release of the album Flaming Pie, which this song was on, and it reminded me of how it happened. They had finally started giving boys’ names to hurricanes, and a powerful one they called Bob had caused a power cut on Long Island, and everything was out. Now that’s a nice opportunity, when the world shuts off, for you to create. I’m always looking for that, anyway. If I’m writing a song in a house, I will try to get as far away from the action as possible, which often means a cupboard, a closet, or a bathroom. Somewhere that I can be the hermit in the cave. So, when these power cuts happen, suddenly you don’t have to secrete yourself here or there, but you can go down to the basement and just totally be at one with the song. If you’re writing a song, you’re going to make it rhyme; it tends to work better than a sort of prose song. So, once I’ve got an idea and I know there’s a good possibility I’m going to rhyme something with ‘eyes’, I’ll just start running through potential options. I like to think my dad solved crossword puzzles in a very similar way, just shuffling through a few of the word possibilities in his head. So, in writing a song, I just look ahead and know there’s going to be a rhyme and I try to make it a good one – one that advances the plot. For this song, the word ‘skies’ came, so I thought I’d open my eyes on a day with ‘cloudy skies’, ‘dark blue skies’, ‘deep blue skies’ or even ‘Calico Skies’. You look for a context for that word. ‘While the angels of love protect us / From the innermost secrets we hide’. Each of us has loads of stuff going on inside, but the idea of love and respect and decency protects us from innermost secrets that might not be terrific. You might not be thinking well of someone, but unless they’ve really angered you, you’re not going to say it, and that’s the angel of love protecting you. I think this goes on all the time. This can also be called your conscience. I mean I love the idea that there are two people in my head. Well, at least two. ‘Long live all of us crazy soldiers’. There are certain politicians, presidents, prime ministers that we don’t like, who can lie willfully, and I’ve fought against them in my own way throughout my life. To me, the sort of protest that this line represents is like Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, ‘We Shall Overcome’. I put that in a romantic song, and coming as the third verse it’s a bit of a wake-up call, because until this point it hasn’t really been about politics or society as much as about individuals. But this puts us all into a crazy soldier brigade – we band of brothers – one that I’m very happy to belong to. You have all these kinds of arguments and discussions as students, and in our case, The Beatles became my fellow students. We’d sit up and have a drink. Then we’d be talking about this and that, and, because of the age we were, we were discussing what we would do if a war were declared and we were actually called up. Would we fight? That is something I think a lot of people of our generation had to consider. The great thing about The Beatles was that the minute we formed the band, the UK ended the call-up, what Americans call the ‘draft’.In fact, we’d all have had to go. Ringo would’ve been eligible, and later I and John and George were also eligible. And none of us had that infamous lucky bone spur that some used to get out of military service. We always said that the end to the call-up was like God, in Moses fashion, opening the waters for us, and we just walked through. In truth, we were plain lucky.So the discussion was, would we have fought? And my opinion was that I wouldn’t have, unless the circumstance was something like Dunkirk or an invasion by Hitler, and then I would have felt I had to. Other than that, I was opting for peace, and that idea was very prevalent in our generation. We actually thought there might be a chance that if we could persuade these politicians, then we could indeed have peace.In the end, it appears that you can’t persuade them, but you have to keep trying. I’m glad Churchill stood up against Hitler when so many of his colleagues, including Neville Chamberlain, said, ‘No, we have “peace for our time”.’ And Chamberlain was not alone. Loads of people thought they should give in because they – quite wrongly – considered Hitler to be mostly harmless before the war. Rather like a certain politician’s public pronouncements on COVID-19.
EAT AT HOME
Linda’s great cooking ultimately inspired her own cookbooks. Nobody was writing simple and easy-to-follow recipe books for meat-free home cooking. So, eating in bed was something we both really liked to do. There were a couple of other things we really liked to do, but that’s for another day. It’s a very different take on domesticity from that ‘Bed-In for Peace’ that John and Yoko had in a hotel room in Amsterdam in 1969. Right from the start, he and I were always bouncing off each other when it came to subjects for songs. But the world represented here is certainly much quieter, conducted without the world’s press. You have to remember that Linda and I were newly married, with a baby, and we were desperately trying to escape the hurly-burly and just find time to be a family. We were completely cut off on our farm in Scotland, a place I’d bought a few years before but Linda really fell in love with. So we just made our own fun. We drew a lot. We wrote a lot. We inspired each other. Linda took a lot of photographs, and I think Scotland helped her find a new side to her work, moving away from musicians and capturing nature and the everyday of family life. It was a life that might be perceived as idyllic, away from the city and business and the press. In some ways it was quite banal. What I liked about it was the simplicity. The small scale of things. The paintings I made were small. I bought only little canvases. I never thought I would be allowed to make visual art. I always thought that was for ‘them’. I would never have dreamt of taking up horse riding had I not met Linda. Again, that was for ‘them’. Horse riding wasn’t for my type. But we really found ourselves in Scotland; it gave us a wonderful freedom to try new things, just for ourselves. Apart from riding for fun, there were so many jobs having to do with the farm itself. I actually learnt to shear the sheep with hand clippers – not something one sees much these days, and certainly not something that, when I was a kid in Liverpool, I ever thought I’d end up doing. I was able to shear about fourteen to twenty in a day, and my farm manager, Duncan, would do a hundred. Just getting the sheep on its back is a hard enough trick to pull off. An image of me about to flip a sheep ended up as the cover of RAM, the album on which this song appeared. That was part of Linda’s record of one shearing session. Linda made an individual portrait of each and every one of our flock.From a musical perspective, ‘Eat at Home’ owes much to the example of Buddy Holly, a huge influence on The Beatles when we were growing up and starting to write our own songs. One of the aspects I rather enjoy is that I modified Buddy Holly’s tendency to mimic a speech hesitation by introducing a sheep’s baa into the phrase ‘eat in be-e-e-e-d’. I was proud of that!
SOMEDAYS
The title came from just the first line, ‘Somedays I look’, which is followed by the repetition of ‘I look’. ‘Somedays I look / I look at you with eyes that shine / Somedays I don’t / I don’t believe that you are mine’. It’s that little trick of repeating the phrase, of reinforcing it, that makes the lyric work. It drives it like a little dynamo. My grammar school education taught me that it’s a rhetorical device apparently known as anadiplosis, but essentially, it’s repetition. You think you’re going one way, and then there’s a little surprise and it takes you another. I like playing with phrases, dancing round words, shuffling them like a deck of cards. I often think that when I’m writing a song, I’m following a trail of bread crumbs. Someone’s thrown out these bread crumbs and I see the first few, and ‘Somedays I look’ and see the next one. I’m following the song rather than writing it. I will think of the line that’s coming and think of how to get into it, like following stepping-stones. My thinking process goes like this: I’ve got to do that to get to there, and so it continues. I quite enjoy that; it’s an interesting process. I often liken it to doing crossword puzzles. My dad was a big fan of crosswords and was a very wordy man. I think I inherited that love of words and crossword puzzles from him. That’s often what songs are – puzzles. Trying to figure how one word fits with another word. So if you put this together with that and you twist that word around, the answer is . . . It’s then all about filling in the gaps. George Martin called this song ‘deceivingly simple’. He would have known, because he was one of the best at making the complex seem simple. That’s why he was always my arranger of choice. I’d known him a long time – most of my professional life, in fact – since The Beatles did our artist test with him for EMI when I was a few days shy of my twentieth birthday. I’d worked with him so much that I knew if I wanted a nice arrangement on something, it would be a delight to ring him up and say, ‘Hey, George, are you interested in doing a thing together?’ He was a true gentleman, and like a second father to me, and always the grown-up in the room, with that delightfully plummy English accent of his. If I had the opportunity to work with him rather than anyone else, I always would – until it came to classical stuff, like the Liverpool Oratorio, when I worked with people who had a bit more knowledge in that field. But from that June day in 1962 when he gave us our first recording contract, right up to the last time we saw each other, George was just the most generous, intelligent and musical person I’ve had the pleasure to know. ‘Somedays’ is a good little song. For me, it’s very meaningful. Looking into a soul; it’s what you try to do in a relationship, yet don’t often succeed at. The lyric contains some contradictory ideas, but its purpose is to support the song rather than be a lyric on its own, so it’s quite liberating. I know this might sound odd, but the lyric and the song are two slightly different things. Once I’ve managed to isolate myself (in this case it was another little room while Linda was doing a cooking assignment elsewhere in the house), once I’m actually writing the song, I’m off on that trail. I really don’t know what the goal is, or even where I’m heading, but I do like to get there and find things out on the way. You can experiment as you go along, so there’s a crack between the headlong and the halting where, if you’re lucky, a few things might slip out: ‘I look at you with eyes that shine / Somedays I don’t’. That’s like a thought that could come out in a session with a psychiatrist. I follow it up with ‘I don’t believe that you are mine’, but there’s now a wonderful ambiguity there.

ELLO this herre be a timeline of season six for my Hermits Duplicates AU, which is about all of the hermits duplicates aka NPC Grian (who is called Dustic in this AU for lore reasons) Robot Grian, Evil X, renbob ect ect, who together and becomes friends and make a share base. This AU is a large mix of Isolation Misunderstandings and most importantly Found Family.
ive also opened up a discord for this AU so if ya liked this post check on in to there! there’s a lot more to this AU than what ived shared here today. now without further Ado check under the cut for the timeline!
Season six
Dustic and Ro stayed with TFC during the beginning of season 6 for a good few months or so before they took off and on the insistc of Dustic, they sought out Evil Xisuma and “tricked” him into friendship
Later on through chance, Badtimewithscar and Truesymmetry happen upon their now shared and slowly growing cave town base. It took some time to convince them into joining the base and to become friends but within less than a month's time BT and Truse have fit themselves in
Time flies by and the base is worked on even more with the additional help from BT and Truse, shenanigans a penalty as well, a small hand full of pranks on the hermits (Truse may or may not be the jinger and Dustic may or may not of been the salmon man) and upon their own little group
7 months and 2 weeks into the season Evil Xisuma is banned from the server and immediately Dustic starts working on getting him back. After some careful planning Dustic, Truse, and TFC work together and manage to pull Ex out of the void and back into hermitcraft with the other hermits being none the wiser. Ex self imposes himself into exile and stays away from the main hermit island and lives full time at the duplicates base, though for the most part he was already doing that so the exile isnt too impactful
The next 2 and half months are filled with some tension with both Ex getting banned into the void (which had dustic not gotten ex out of the void, Ex would have either gone mad/insane due to being within the void or would have been consumed by the void and would not respawn) and the soon to come village and pillage update that would lead to the hermit potentially finding them by going out to the new terrain. Things simmer down after the update falls upon the server
Roughly 2 months later Renbob has spawned into the server then on
July 19 2019 Renbob leaves New Hermitville in somewhat of a panic and crash lands into The Cavern Town (suggestions for a name for the base are very much welcome) and stays till Renbob hears the intergalactic hippie horn and then comes to aid Grian and Ren to help fight against “The Man” (aka the government)
Renbob sticks around the hippie commune till the end of the 77 ark, during this time renbob does his thing and helps out to the best of his ability. The German Tourist (Gtm76, or more commonly known as simply Gerry) joins the game on september 4th to visit docm for the first time since they both escaped together from experimentation in captivity
(backstory; some group of scientist ran a series of experiments trying to make a living sentient life-form. It took them 77 trys and Docm was their crowning achievement that was also their undoing. Gerry was the 76th try which while sentient his body had some defects that while with some cybernetic enhancements fixed the problems but it wasn't good enough for them so docm77 came to. Doc also had the same body problems but those didn't crop up/became unavoidable till later)
Anyway back to Gerry joining the server, he walks about and takes in the views before encountering Docm, who upon seeing Gerry bonks him over the head and throws Gerry into one of the cells fully convinced Gerry is an alien imposter and nothing Gerry saids can convince Docm that he is not an alien.(one of the problems doc had was memories. his life before getting his cybernetic enhancements was very hazy and he does not remember how he actually escaped nor the fact that he escaped with another person) Gerry stays stuck in the cell forgotten and alone with nothing but the uncomfortable prison uniform that reminds him far too much of the uniform he had to wear during his early life whilst in captivity.
During the area 77 raid Gerry realized that someone besides Docm and Scar were in the building and tried desperately to get their attention alas his cell was just far enough that the hippies in thier excitement to reunite with villager grian and the time machine they completely missed Gerry’s cell in the way back of the compound.
After area 77 is opened up as a amusement park, renbob returns to see if he can find his lost glasses (renbob was briefly stuck in a UFO that scar and docm confiscated then renbob was retrieved from the hold of it) renbob upon not seeing his glasses on the firset floor moves to the bottom floor and in his search he finds Gerry’s cell and Gerry manages to convey to him to open the cell even though the language barrier. They both leave Area 77 together and board Renbob’s van and heads for the Duplicate’s base where they all stay at for the remainder of the season.
Not even a week or so later Tomato Yoshi comes stumbling out of their nether portal, after completing his quest to be good at minecraft he then went back into the portal wishing to go where someone may be in need of his teachings. After moving in with the duplicates he helps them through their problems and initiates a weekly Therapy Group. He also trains Truse on how to fight blind, so that if she loses her goggles she can still protect herself.
During the time of demise they all for the most part stayed hunkered down and worked on finishing the base with a touch of everyone’s building styles mixed together. Then comes the end of the season.
With the Infinity portal came a dilemma, do they go with the hermits to season 7 or move onto a new world? The duplicates wait a week’s time before they leave the season which gave them all time to fully consider this new found option. BT came to the conclusion that he wants to be there for any new duplicates that may spring up in the upcoming years, to show them that they’re not alone. Truse and Ex decide to stay too for the same reason. Gerry decides to go with renbob and explore hyperspace in Renbob’s Rv. Dustic, Ro, and Ex go through the portal with Truse at the lead. Once on the other side Truse changes Ex’s entry message and Dustic teleports himself Ex and Ro down and into a cave system below spawn. Then they move towards the coordinates they all agreed to head towards once they've made it to season 7.
And that’s everything i've got for season 6 of the Duplicates AU, i've started a discord for the AU so if you liked this please stop by and say hello! I’ll be sharing a bunch more for the au over there as well.
