Hi hello, happy halloween! Trick or treat :> ✨

YAYY kat happy Halloween! :D treat!! a little flustered bdubs =w=

[silverskye13]

The Minecraft sculk versus the Skulk of the RNS title disparity slightly confused me in the past but I never thought anything else of it until now. It's probably obvious to everyone else but I just realised as I started reading the new chapter that there might be a difference for a reason.

Skulk means to "hide or move around as if trying not to be seen" and that's something that Tanguish (who I assume is sculk) does, and something that Tango (who I assume is redstone) doesn't do.

And as for the sometimes negative connotations of trying not to be seen with bad intentions, I suppose it could be explained in the way that it doesn't apply to Tanguish's personality in reality so much as it does in his mind (the whole parasite thing).

Just thoughts :p

This is a very very cool analysis and very good thoughts! I love the symbolism you've dug into for this. You're right, the idea of skulking matches the,,, stasis of life Tanguish is in at the start of the story, and somehow its that skulking in the dark that leads him, slowly yet surely, to the light.

[And you are also correct in Tanguish being sculk and Tango being redstone, symbolically. Fire and ice and redstone and sculk, light and dark and excitable and mild].

Unfortunately, Skulk in the title was very much a typo--

What's your thoughts on there potentially being. 3 new hermits. Like. There's space on the banner. Scar's been making jokes on twitter. And it could absolutely be nothing but teasing, BUT-

i would be SO excited, im already excited that theyre adding two more, the potential of a third?? id probably lose my mind

pssst. Knocking on the door to your inbox

It’s so totally okay if you have no intentions of finishing it or forgot or got distracted or aren’t interested anymore, but quite a while ago you mentioned a Joel x Joel fanfic (according to your pinned post, it’s apparently the reason we became mutuals, which is wild /pos)

I’d be really curious to read it if you did end up writing it! Did anything come of that? Is there a snippet you could share? No pressure at all though :)

Oh my god I have forgotten about it. periodically I do scroll through my drafts and come across it.

The Google doc is called "I am a heathen"

it's not finished. THEY DONT EVEN KISS?? I'm mad I might have to continue it but this. Joel and joel have got some sexual tension going

-- -- * -- --

Joel polished the counter of his bar with his washcloth. Business was slow tonight. It was a Tuesday. Tuesdays never particularly brought good things.

Business was actually more than slow, Joel mused. No one was here. Except for him. He sat down on the stool behind the counter and sighed, resting his head on the counter. It was rather boring, the same five quiet songs playing on repeat.

Maybe he should get a drink. Maybe…

His eyes flicked towards the refrigerator. No. There wasn’t anyone to duel. Not tonight, at least. Gem should be asleep, but knowing the Hermits, only Bdubs and Skizz were asleep at this hour. Joel knew that Grian and Mumbo had chronic insomnia and tended to stare at the ceiling in an attempt to fall asleep, but to no avail.

Leftover remnants from Season 8, Joel supposed.

The counter was very comfortable. Maybe he could just…

The bells on the door rang. Joel jolted up, blinking the sleep from his eyes. “Welcome!” he told the customer, continuing to blink rapidly to get used to the lights in his vision. “What can I get for you, dear customer?”

“I’ll get a drink,” the customer said.

Joel nodded. “On it.”

Joel made a drink, mixing together ingredients. He made his own favorite drink, because what else would he make, when someone so stupid didn’t even give him a specification on what they wanted?

Joel turned around, presenting the drink to the customer, and was mildly surprised to see his own face looking back at him. “Ah. Hello, Joel. Nice to see you here,” he said, setting the drink down on the counter.

Joel smiled at Joel. “I must say, it is hard to keep away from the best bar in town,” Joel said, grinning at Joel.

Joel shrugged. “It’s honest work. We use local recipes.” He took a glass from below the counter and started polishing the cup. “Do you need anything else? We have other drinks, we have crackers, we have chicken tenders—”

Joel raised his eyebrows. “Where did you get chicken tenders?”

Joel shrugged. “The land of magic. The chicken died. I chopped it up. Chicken tenders.”

Joel narrowed his eyes. “Impossible.”

Joel grinned, showing his teeth as he leaned intentionally against the counter. “Definitely possible.”

Joel rolled his eyes, folding his arms over his chest. “Sure. Have you heard the news?” he asked, leaning in towards Joel.

Joel couldn’t help but lean in too. The tone of Joel’s voice was captivating. “No, I haven’t. I’ve been blummin’ stuck in this bar the entire day. There hasn’t been any interesting gossip.”

Joel took a sip of Joel’s drink, and damn, that was good. Oh yeah, he made it. Damn, he was a good bartender.

“Did you hear that Subscribe Button Joel started dating Bad Boy Joel?” Joel asked lowly.

Joel spat out his drink on Joel’s face. Joel made a face, wiping the drink off with a disgusted look. “WHAT?”

Joel nodded, still looking very disgruntled at the fact that Joel had just spat his own drink all over his face. And his shirt. Joel must admit, it was a nice shirt. Of course, he was wearing the same one right now, and his was better.

“Yeah. Jeremy walked in on them sleeping.” Joel waggled his eyebrows. Ah. So not sleeping. “Sleeping”, as they put it.

“Feel bad for Jeremy,” Joel muttered. “That must’ve been bad.”

“Yeah,” Joel said. He looked down at his shirt. “Why’d you have to ruin my shirt? This is my favorite shirt, Joel.”

Joel shrugged. “I mean. It was pretty ugly.”

Joel gave him a look. “Joel. Joel Smallishbeans. We have the same shirt. We’re currently wearing the same shirt. Do not diss my shirt when we have the same shirt.”

Joel shrugged, looking at Joel’s shirt where it was ruined by the drink. “I mean. Mine is better, y’know?”

Joel stared at Joel, fire in his eyes. Joel smirked arrogantly back at him.

Joel stood up. “Joel. My shirt was good, until you spat my drink all over it!”

Joel shrugged, looking up and down Joel’s shirt. “I mean, there’s a loose button there, and who knows what you’re hiding under the corset. Mine is better. Mine has always been better.”

“No it hasn’t,” Joel scoffed, stepping closer to the counter. “Look at your collar. It’s wrinkled. Have you seen mine? It’s perfectly pressed.” He went there. He went for the wrinkled collar? Who does he think Joel is? How much time does he think Joel had on his hands? Well, actually—

Joel spends a lot of his time in the bar rewatching the Barbie movie. He appreciates the cultural themes. He also watches Harry Potter, and he can feel a familiar presence near him quoting all the lines nearly perfectly along with the movies.

I’m bored and procrastinating on sleeping, so out of curiosity, what are 3 songs that you like and recommend? :D

I’ll try listen to them tomorrow!

Well hello there! Hmm, I have very old song taste, so my three favorites right now?

1. Hey Jude by the Beatles

2. Mr. Roboto by The Protomen (cover)

3. Rougmer Storm by The Megas

Also, get sleep! Sleep is very good, and don’t forget to drink water. :3

Have an awesome day/night friendo!

[dragontammerz]

random asks! :D

favourite ice cream flavour?

what's a food that reminds you of home?

if you had to recommend me a food to test taste, what would it be?

...this is all about food but in my defence I'm hungry, and my own answers to all of them are making me hungrier

Favorite icecream flavor: Mint chocolate chip, nothing else comes close for me XD

Food that reminds me of home: There’s a lot that I could answer for this one XD Probably Southern Fried Chicken or Bacon

Recommend food to try: My first thought to say is Southern Fried Chicken (I’m craving it because I can’t get my hands on some [that is actually good] where I’m currently living). Bacon wrapped asparagus is another good one, and pretty easy to make. I have discovered Funeral Potatoes, and those are pretty good and worth trying

(I’m also hungry XD)

Pearl is playing DBH on stream Pearl is playing DBH on stream Pearl is playing DBH on stream this is not a drill

i sawwwww :D I'll definitely have to go watch those vods!!!

Also as a side note/psa, not that I think anyone was planning on doing this, but please keep the dbhc au out of creators' chats and things!! I recognize this is a public space and anyone could find it/access it, but my intention has always been to just make a cool story for people who enjoy the characters and enjoy my art. I have no intention to bring it to any cc's attention!

(idk whats in the air this season but it sure is GAY)

I GOT SO JUMPSCARED BY THAT DRAWING I COMPLETELY BLANKED OUT WHAT THE HELL

[hermitsandcrafts]

There are a couple black markets in wynncraft so I'm kind of on the fence of where Shade-e-e's would take place.

I think for my wynn au it would be right in Selchar, as it is a trade town, and would be a great business to fund Etho's adventures on the side. Most of the others in the guild are aware of Shade-e-e's but they don't know what is actually sold there.

I like to think that the NHO members know what's actually being sold at shade-e-e's, whereas most of the hermit guild just shrugs towards it.

Even if Etho is never as theatrical about it, he is just a big con-man as Scar is and they have a mutual respect over it.

Also list of people in the Know about shade-e-e's: Beef, Doc, Bdubs, Scar, Joel, and Iskall

X had so much fun w/ that service on hc s7 that I feel he deserves to be a main buyer but doesn't know Etho runs it

Thank you to my mutual @katkat030 for making me rethink and miss shade-e-e's so much that I've included it into my au now

[royallygray]

pssst

here to poke you about something

on a scale of one to absolutely freaking not, would you recognise me if I changed my profile picture and how much of a shock would it be? /silly

for the record it'd literally just be Etho again,,,, I am nothing if not predictable

I would def still recognize you, seeing as I mainly look at usernames lol

As a shock? idk. it's ur pfp do whatever you want lol. Uh. Yeah I have no idea how much of a shock it'd be tbh. maybe like a three or four or five on freaking out scale

:0 more etho? that's insane.

kat: "it's Etho time"

[trafficblrpositivityproject]

SHOUT OUT TO @katkat030 my amazing awesome mutual

its always makes me happy to see you in my notes and on the dash (and in karns chat when i stay up late enough to catch streams-) <33

@katkat030 !!!
