This week we talked a lot about Fanfiction! Here is a list of the fics that we recommended! Heads up, we talked about a lot of fanfiction

We started off with the fics that we have talked about before: Eldritch Horror Keralis a series by MawoftheMagnetar. Hermitcraft fanfic. Keralis is a incomprehensible being shoved into human shape. Much fluff, angst, and probably disturbing content.

Out Of Body Clock by funkily. Martyn vtuber lore on pirates smp, where he is in the gray state between human and video game which makes things like if he should sleep and how much he should sleep not super obvious. Sick fic vibes with sleep deprivation unreality.

Interdimensional by AstronautBeans. Martyn vtuber lore and Mysical Sausage Dimension hopping lore on pirates smp. Martyn is dealing with everything he touches being code instead of the real world and Sausage points out how that makes them a lot alike.

binary hosts by twice_past. Martyn vtuber lore on pirates smp, Martyn shouldn't get attched to code. Martyn got attached. Now the new things we talked about! i can be the one you call a series by mayflowers07. Hermitcraft. The hermits have a code phrase to tell everyone to stop, something is wrong. This fic series is more commonly called the "blue creeper" series and elements of it have been brought up in unrelated fanfictions as well.

Cat Among Pigeons by qvill. A Hermitcraft fanfic. Evil Xisuma returns from a rather rough time in the void and decideds to turn himself into a cat as a form of escape. Afterall, if human isn't your default state, maybe finding peace in a more simple form is for the best. Super self angsty with happy ending!

Starbound: Scavenge for Survivors by Spindle_Fizz, Theonedudewithadoor. Hermitcraft space au. Humans are an unknown in deep space. When Xisuma gets stranded on the wrong side of the universe he decided it was the perfect time to "prime opportunity to screw around and find out". Slowly he gathers the Hermitcraft crew and confuses the universe while he's at it.

a rolling stone gathers no moss by qvill. Hermitcraft space au. Bdubs was a human in space who got adopted by some aliens. Maybe it's time to learn to be human again.

ethos exciting ninja vacation a series by normalcdf. Hermitcraft Naruto crossover. Etho looks a lot like Kakashi. This becomes a problem when he ends up where Kakashi is supposed to be and just decides to start doing his job.

Redstone and Skulk by Silverskye13. Hermitcraft Hels AU. Tanguish is Tango's Hels, for a while they are content with helping each other but the more time Tanguish spends in Hels, the more attached he gets to Helsknight. It reads so much like a slowburn but it's enemies to friends and I am obsessed.

Traveling Thieves {Dark Fantasy AU} by Amethystfairy1. Hermitcraft Fantasy AU. Hybrid slavery that focuses on many hermits with heavy whump and angst. Hybrids struggle to find them selves in a world that does not treat them as humans.

The Med Room is Labelled, Goddamnit by Skipcount1. Dream SMP Superhero AU.

Go Full Circle Then Go Again by Block of Crow (InatelyCrow). 3rd Life time loop. Impulse is stuck in a time loop to repeat third life over and over and over again. Every loop feels like it can be the one. Friendships and allyships are getting very confusing though.

Covet by Oceanbreeze7. Hermitcraft. Something is in the boatum hole. The hermits keep thoughing thinks into it, calling it a friend. Scar, Impulse, Pearl, Mumbo, and the creature in the boatum hole. Angsty, watcher typical body horror.

The Void speaks to me by StressedOwl. Hermitcraft. Grians was living peacefully on Hermitcraft until the Watchers pulled him away and whipped his memory. Now he is back on Hermicraft and is deeply uncomfortable.

Be the Death of Me by Mitos (SeriouslyCalamitous). Hermitcraft gods AU. Grians finds a half destroyed shrine, when he topples the rest over, the mysterious man who lives there asks Grian to stay and repair it. No Scar isn't a god… he's a priest… and he totally isn't falling for him

Doing so unlocks a whole world of Yokai he never knew of. 5 Times Scar Couldn't Speak + 1 Time He Didn't Have To by adlerthetranscender.

Comics

I have found myself falling down the hole of binging comics on Hoopla.

There's a wide variety of stuff, involving non-humans and/or queer relationships.

Save Yourself

By Bones Leopard and illustrated by Nichole Matthews, Kelly Matthews

Super cute, queer-filled story about magical girls who are bad guys and the monsters that fight them are, often, the good guys.

The story is about humans realizing the magical girls are evil, after a young woman saves a mysterious stranger from the superheroes.

There is a character death that takes place in the past and a death that happens on screen, but it's not bloody. Victim is just gone.

Art was bright and cheerful. Had a cartoon vibe about it, so nothing explicit or gorey. Again, super cute.

The Me You Love in the Dark

By Skottie Young and illustrated by Jorge Corona

Definite monster fucker story. It's a horror story with gore and domestic abuse vibes.

An artist rents a creepy house in the Midwest to renew her ability to paint. An being (ghost, I think, but form is more eldritch horror) lives in the house that the artist makes contact with.

Don't Call Me Dirty and Don't Call Me Daddy

Both stories created and illustrated by Gorou Kanbe

No monsters involved, but is full of gay characters.

Dirty is about a 26-year-old liquor store clerk befriending a houseless man. The clerk is known by those around him as gay and is even in a relationship with another man. Though that man ends up breaking things off with him. The concept of "dirty" is applied to both the clerk and houseless man, one in a homophobic sense and the other in a physical literal sense.

Daddy is actually about the clerk's father and a long-time friend. The long-time friend actually was helping the father raise his son for a time, but felt horrible that his son thought he and the father were married.

Both of these made me cry. Hiding your own feelings from yourself, apologizing to others for who you are, just wanting to be loved, being given kindness of facing cruelty for so long. Just oof.

I highly rec both of these, if you can get over some art issues. (Occasionally, the characters have, like, super tiny hands.)

The Song of Yoru & Asa

By Harada

Gay relationship, but no monsters.

Oh my goodness, this had very explicit sex scenes. Haha. I was not prepared for that when reading.

This one is about two guys who are in a band together. Asa can be mean at times and Yoru can be pushy about sex. But it just feels more like a dynamic than serious problems.

TW for sex still happening even when one or other tells the other to stop. (They don't seem to mind or have problems with it, but in one instance it does result in pee, so... yeah. I kind of wish they talked about having a safe word so they know for sure to stop.)

Oh, TW for self-harm attempt, as well. There's a stalker fan who pulls out a blade to cut herself with when she's rejected.

Art was really good in this one.

Kiss Me, Satan!

by Victor Gischler and illustrated by Juan E. Ferreyra

Yes, monsters are involved. No queer people, though. :(

Demon is trying to get back into heaven and is given a mission to help a witch flee the werewolf mafia. Interesting premise, but it falls prey to misogynistic tropes and art.

There's four women characters the demon guy is supposed to be keeping safe. Three of them die. The last one ends up fucking the main guy.

Art is relatively good, if you're into comics with more of a western feel. There are gratuitous shots of ladies' underwear during fights or unnecessary nudity.

Story is intriguing, but I kind of feel it was more of a guy power fantasy. You eventually see the guy's demon form and it's pretty kick ass.

TW for gore, death, and discussions of killing a baby.
