Day 8: False Symmetry, Empires season 2

False was such an amazing character I wish we got to see more from her and about her character, Of course I cant help myself but dive into a bit of horror which makes sense because this false..has something odd about them.

[katkat030]

There’s a new building in Cogsmeade. This is a normal occurrence. The sun rises in the East, a budding empire adds a new structure to its grand collection. It doesn’t belong. It fits so well.

False of Cogsmeade!

Most of my favourite lore and buildings, from empires season 2, was from False. Genuinely one of my favourite perspectives!

[curseddistinguishedly]

E!False giving herself a title of Grand Architect of Cogsmead would actually be a really important step to healing for her if it wasn’t completely destroyed by an unfamiliar tower, that if anything radiates danger, in her empire. Imagine trying to give yourself a tangible identity only for it to to slip away from you in a matter of weeks because one day a building appeared that perfectly fits in, and yet looks so foreign and wrong, and you know it isn’t yours despite days spent convincing yourself you just don’t remember building it. Someone could just take the title away from you and then who are you without it?

i have a request/idea for a joe hills skin! cogsmeade inspired for the time he spent working for false during the empires crossover, ,no specific design to pull from tho :')

Y'know, like, nyah? Don't hire cat army boys as your security.

So..... THAT took a while! For this one I& did the sketch itself ages ago and then just happened to not really have the time to get to the request, BUT!!!! it was such a cool idea that I& couldn't get it out of my& mind!! Here's the sketch I& did for this to figure out the design, since working from reference is much easier for me& when it comes to skins!

And the skin file <3 As usual, no reposting but feel free to use! (P. S., I& posted this on my& PlanetMinecraft! Feel free to check me& out there! Not putting a link just in case so that Tumblr doesn't block it)

[redstonedust]

as much as i would love to see more of e!false i think the lack of a finale would honestly drive me crazier /pos. like. the last we saw of e!false was actually a good ending point for her? she's turning a new leaf, opening up cogsmeade to be more welcomeing, and trying to move on with her life.

but hc!false doesn't know that. the last thing she really said about the arc was that she's prepared to fight if they encouter eachother again. if we dont revisit this arc then theres forever gonna be an implication that false is watching her back. and considering she was willing to wipe her 'sisters' memories and throw her through a portal to god knows where, you could argue that having that weight hanging over her head is karma, really,

[cornercritter]

false, building for cleo: as someone who hasn't ever built a clock tower before...

cogsmeade:

she's either still continuing the lore or just doesn't count it as a tower but.... wah. idk this is making me FEEL THINGS..... i miss you cogsmeade

[eloquentornot]

"Also, who's that?" Two Of Her reference!!! :D :D :D

She doesn't remember her??? At all???

Did she take a memory potion so she wouldn't miss her sister once she was sure she would never see her again?

Or did Cogsmeade False somehow get to her one last time and make her forget so she can't hurt her anymore?

Or maybe she hasn't forgotten really but is just so much in denial about everything that happened?

But what if Empires False... if she came back through the Rift, or if this season is taking place on the Empires world in the future... (Joel making multiple images of Lizzie specifically in Ocean Queen form, the water being weird this season, connection somehow maybe etc???)

What if there was a reunion offscreen? What if they're back to secretly being Two Of Her pretending to be one person, like they were before? What if, to get that old peace back, the False who stayed on Hermitcraft... used more memory potion than ever on the Empires one, made her forget everything she'd done from the first bits of violence to literally all of Empires, and this time didn't leave any gaps for her to realise there was anything she'd forgotten? And...

What if the False who opened the gift... just happened to be... the one depicted on the card she could no longer recognise?

@redstonedust @theminecraftbee

[breoasis]

for doodle requests... a falsesymmetry perhaps? as a treat? :]

Cogsmeade False my favorite normal girlie, nothing was wrong with her, she was very sane and rational in fact!!!!!! She never did anything wrong

[hmshermitcraft]

False and Gem have marks on their bodies. Not tattoos, no, it's a mark to signify that they're the rulers of Cogsmeade and Dawn. False has cogs that slowly move on her back. And Gem has a sun mark that glows on the back of her neck. The hermits have grown quite fond of these marks, they make sure to show the two just how much they love the marks.

The marks are absolute marvels to observe. It's unfortunate they're often hid beneath clothes, so they make the most of any opportunities they're visible. False and Gem also smile every time they see the hermits watching them. It's sweet.

[jayflying]

is New Life, Afterlife or Empires s2 part of the au? I believe they're all canon to Empires s1

As far as I am aware, New Life isn't canon to Empires, so it's not canon in any meaningful way to No Stranger Curses. There is a little easter-egg reference to it though, in that Lord Sausage of Mythland is offhandedly mentioned to have ghast hybrid heritage a couple of generations back in his bloodline. He's not a full hybrid himself, but he does still have a few of the traits: a fondness for perching in high places, a tolerance for high temperatures, and a habit of making ghast noises when very upset.

Afterlife... is technically canon, in the sense that it's a thing that happens, but it's not really plot-relevant. I must confess, this is partly because I'm personally unfamiliar with Afterlife: I'm somewhat aware of how Mythical Sausage made it lore-relevant, but I've never watched it myself and I would not feel confident working it in. The other reason it doesn't get focus is because Empires season 1 massively canon-diverges about halfway through in this AU, and I cannot even begin to work out if or how that would change the plot of Afterlife SMP.

Now, Empires season 2, though... that is incredibly relevant, for reasons primarily named Pix, Sausage, and False.

The last time we see the Empires season 1 crew, Sausage is quite possibly the guy with the most unresolved issues. For many reasons. (Not the same reasons as in canon, but just as emotionally devastating.) And now that his reincarnation is coming of age and beginning to learn just who he is, the Protector of Sanctuary is running straight back into all those problems. And that's without even mentioning the Rift, and the fact he's about to stand face-to-face with the man who founded the empire he destroyed...

Meanwhile, Pix, our primary POV character among this group, has no idea how much worse his life is about to get. The Copper King of Pixandria was always something a little more than mortal, and this Pix is painfully unaware of that. He knows nothing of what went down one thousand years ago, but there are threats creeping up from the darkness that remember him. The question is, will the historian's own history repeat itself?

And as for False, the clock-keeper, the Architect of Cogsmeade, the one none of them know... she has perhaps the greatest burden to carry. And Hermit-False is a terribly unreliable narrator. She never had a sister.

Has this happened all before..?

[relgnira]

False! Only content of hers I’ve seen is Empires, so have her Cogsmeade outfit!

[kayawolfhorse]

HI UHHH can you twll me abt your current fav characters and WHY theyre your fav like why you connected with em

Hiii Pig <3 Hmm I’ve got a few constant favorites but I feel like I talk about them a fair bit—two I don’t yap about nearly enough is the fascinating case of the Falses

They share a lot of attributes, from their appearance down to their very name. It’s unclear what their exact relations to one another are: sisters? The original and her clone? Something beyond any sort of categorizable dichotomy? To know would change precisely nothing and everything.

hc!False came first. She’s lived many lifetimes with the same group of people she’s come to know as family, and even if paranoia threads her nervous system like sinew does her muscle and bone, she’s generally confident in her relative safety and her ability to handle any threat or prank thrown her way (though she will be shaking and sobbing throughout the entire ordeal). She’s a capable fighter and amazing builder filled with unfathomable amounts of quiet love for her friends and a dry sense of humor.

Across these lifetimes, she’s had a few things that follow her throughout. Questionably ethical laboratories are one of them.

When e!False blinked awake, she found that her surroundings were not the only unfamiliarities about—she had no idea who she was. The paranoia was dialed up to a hundred. Any one of the strange people she now shared a world with could stab her in the back at any moment. She couldn’t trust them. She couldn’t even trust herself.

She pilfered a new outfit from a random corpse shortly after establishing the beginnings of her new empire, a quaint steampunk little town that would go unnamed for a long while but would eventually be dubbed Cogsmeade. Her base was predominantly underground with plenty of escape routes, should she ever be hunted. When she slept, she dreamt vividly of a place she couldn’t recall but felt like home nonetheless. Sometimes she woke with schematics in her mind for a new build. The airship, for all its splendor, couldn’t take her to where she truly needed to go.

In fits and starts, life became more comfortable. Her fellow rulers were friendly enough when they stopped by for some iron or just to chat, and Cogsmeade was coming along nicely. e!False had a cat. Even some of her memories had started trickling back through into her head! Nothing identifiable, but still—it was progress.

Sometimes sleep held onto her for longer than she would have liked, and weeks would pass before she awoke again. Signs with cryptic messages in handwriting she didn’t recognize started to appear. Unseen clocks began their maddening tick. Certainly sightly clocks seemed to have hung themselves on her bedroom walls. She could deal with it all.

Life became suddenly much more difficult when a magical rift appeared and spawned a bunch of new, scary-looking people into the world, including someone that looked exactly like e!False, wearing the clothes she herself had first appeared in.

The clocks were one thing, but a new tower that e!False definitely didn’t build suddenly materializing was another. Her head felt like it was full of fog. She hired someone to keep an eye on things. The tower was surrounded by electric fence.

The flashbacks grew louder. e!False’s own voice described her as the unsafe one; the evil one. It pleaded with her to remember. It condemned her to this. There was a lab, now left in pieces. There was a reflection not her own. The clocks continued to tick. hc!False had locked her away. e!False was ready to take revenge.

e!False woke up in her own bed initially unsure of where she was. The day’s sign told her that they were gone, and she was safe. Her head was full of memories that were previously locked away by hc!False’s tampering. Had the home she’s dreamt of ever been real? Was, by shoving e!False into this world hc!False’s way of giving her a chance of life once more? She had been asleep for a long while.

The rift was closed, and hc!False was gone with it. e!False, for all the fear, for all the complicated emotions swirling in her chest, had no way of reaching hc!False. She ultimately decided to look ahead.

Cogsmeade had become home. e!False had some things she’d like to build within it. Knowing where her paranoia had largely stemmed from eased her already lessened worries of the other emperors, allowing her to fully think of them as something close to friends. She could continue to forge her future, carve out her life, as herself. She decided to do just that.

e!False never got a proper finale, but remnants of her remain. hc!False can’t quite seem to escape her face, even two years later. In a way it’s fitting. I miss her forever also

I made this AU whenEmpires s2 started but eh here we go-

Remember this is my take and my story based in cannon events thank you.

Odyssey's Sequel AU

Empires season one ended in destruction, death, departure, and disaster.

Scott died, Xornoth died, Joey died(maybe), Pearl died, Katherine left, Lizzie forgot, Joel lost everything, Jimmy left, Fwhip and Gem flew away, Sausage lost everything, Pix disappeared, and Shrub left to find the Gnomes.

All the empires were destroyed; the Ocean Empire and Cod Empire drained, Mezalea split in half, the Lost Empire burned down, the Grimlands exploded, the Crystal Cliffs shattered, Rivendell was Corrupted, Gilded Helinthia withered away, Mythland was overrun with Blood Sheep and darkness, the Overgrown(also House Blossom) shriveled up in flames and cracks, and Pixandria was abandoned.

So, the empires and emperors died.

Until 1,000 years later.

New Empires rose up.

And with it, new emperors.

Except they are all related to the Past Emperors in some way.

Scott, King of Chromia: a Reincarnation of Scott of Rivendell

Joel, god of lightning and thunder: a descendent of Joel, King of Mezalea

Jimmy, of the Codlands: a traveler of space time, the same Jimmy from the past, but changed

Lizzie, Mayor of Critter City: blessed by Lizzie, the Ocean Empress

Shubble, the witch of the Evermore: descendent of Shrub, the Gnome Queen

Joey, Pirate of the Eversea: Rebirth of Joey(same person but died, was born again, and lost memories), Emperor of the Lost Empire

Katherine, Princess of Glimmer Grove: Descendent and chosen of Katherine, Chosen of the Overgrown

Sausage, Protector of Sanctuary: Reborn of Sausage(same person, didn't die, was granted a another chance after the Afterlife, eventually got his memories back), King of Mythland

Fwhip, Goblin King: Haunted by Fwhip, the Count(shares a mind with past Fwhip)

Gem, Princess of Dawn: Spirited by Gem, the High Wizard(the old soul of Gem died and possessed present Gem)

Pix, Historian of the Ancient Capital: Revived Pix, the Copper King(died and came back to life, lost memories)

False, Queen of Cogsmeade: Chosen by Pearl, the Harvest Queen

Oli, Bard of the Olipoligo: Chosen by Xornoth, the demon

I will get more into this AU, along with how everyone deals with this sensation, what being Chosen means, etc.

Asks are always welcomed:)
