#i myself am a scarian enjoyer

[these-godforsaken-halls]

i feel like one big difference in how mumbo engages with hermitcraft vs how other big successful hermits engage with it is that a lot of the hermits have settled into mcyt as a day job, whereas mumbo makes consistent efforts to grow from it. tango with his 15 years experience as a game dev, cubfan the published astrophysicist, etc., for many if not most of the hermits, being a cc full-time was a deliberate choice they made that involved leaving behind a previous job. in skizz or joe's case, it's smth they worked a long time to achieve. cc!mumbo is a lot younger and has all these other ambitions he hasn't explored yet. and at that age with those artistic skills, who wouldn't want to try and leverage their platform for other things, right?

there's a very different vibe watching mumbo vs. watching hermits who clearly plan to be full-time hermits as long as they're able

the in-character result is a very absent c!mumbo and a lot of really fucking sad grumbo interactions. kill me now forget the cactus ring, the desert i'm stuck in is sahara

Day 1 - A Memory In Amber | COOKING TOGETHER

@hot-scarian-summer-2024

Please do reblog! Thank you!

( Open images for better quality. Read from Left then Right )

Hopefully this was an enjoyable read?

Keep Reading for explanation on page 5, if curious

This was a wonderful prompt! it took me looong to finish it. who knew making a comic would take long? like each page took me 4+ hours. but then i am a slow worker lol and this is my first time drawing a comic

anyways!! whats the dealio with the double life reference in page 5? i really wanted to insert it, as initially i was going to write this prompt as a fic but i didn't like where my writing was going?? A chapter in it showed Grian built the Velvet Keep (? Im sure thats what they called their base) pretty big with a kitchen unintentionally resembling third life's haha isn't that crazy. and Scar baked cookies for him for his secret soulmate in said kitchen, Grian saw him and was of course shocked. Now, the question is, does Scar remember their little moments in the kitchen in the desert? I'd said up to your interpretation!! Your personal headcanon on how life members remember past series. I just thought it'd make an ironic call on a future event, not like Grian was remembering a future event. I hope it wasn't so jarring hasdgfjlepnfk I really wanted to insert it okay!!

okay thats all, this was hard work really, i would say i'm not quite satisfied with it but atleast i got it done? so im proud of myself for that. even though this took up a lot of space in my mind leaving some of my other entries for this event neglected

[he-loves-me-he-cares-he-does]

it's been a while since i've done this, but i decided to take a crack at mcyt ao3 stats again :) the fandoms that were involved are Hermitcraft, Traffic SMPs/Life Series, Empires SMP, Dream SMP, and Lifesteal SMP! i also did these stats back in august, so there's some fun comparisons at the end. hope you enjoy the stats under the cut! :D

Hermitcraft

Grian/Scar or Scarian is the most tagged relationship with 1201 out of 13,710 fics being tagged, roughly ~8.8% of all fics. 522 fics have Scarian as their OTP/only contain this relationship

Compared to last time, Grian/Mumbo (Grumbo) and Grian & Mumbo (Waffle Duo) are being significantly beaten out by Scarian and Desert Duo, despite being the most tagged relationship(s) back in August. Grumbo has 831 fics (~6.1%) and Waffle Duo has 861 (~6.2%) fics. Sorry Grian and Mumbo enjoyers!

Fandom Awards!

The "Fluffiest" fandom award goes to "Hermitcraft"! Although, giving Hermitcraft this award when there’s an equal amount of angst fics and fluff fics is a little bit of a cop-out, with both tags having ~19% as a rough percentage. 

The "Angstiest" fandom award goes to "Traffic SMPs/Life Series"! "Traffic SMPs/Life Series" has the most fics tagged "Angst" with a rough percentage of ~29.2%!

the "Shippiest" fandom award goes to "Lifesteal SMP"! "Lifesteal SMP" has the most fics tagged with the ship Branzy/ClownPierce with a rough percentage of ~36.8%!
