More racing au / biker au flux ft. engineer thomas

[youreyeslookliketheocean]

Summary:

“Tommy,” his chief starts as he stops to lean against the side of the tunnel, and for a second, Tommy wonders if maybe he’s actually read this all wrong, and he’s about to be praised. He’d done good, hadn’t he? He’d come third, which isn’t first, but it’s so close. It’s top three! He sat still in his interviews. He hadn’t rambled. He’d been everything his chief wanted him to be. “Tommy, I am so disappointed in you.” Paint, black like oil, begins dripping over his head like the rain outside.

Or, a look at a scene that was mentioned in Full Throttle, but not expanded upon until now.

[nightraiderwrites]

Pearl is dressed in her midnight blue suit, her silver rapier at her side. She swings Gem around the dance floor, the string quartet playing a jaunty tune.

She looks beautiful tonight. The royal seamstress did a good job on her dress, which fans around in a whirlpool of green.

They step in time, Gem's heels clicking on the floor.

Pearl's pulse is racing. Her heart thuds in her ears, eyes scanning the ballroom for any threats. She's certain Gem can feel her hands sweat, as they grasp light together.

The ballroom is full of masked people, gossiping about, no doubt, the Queen and the Advisor dancing together. They do not understand. She needs to stay close.

"Relax," the Queen murmurs to Pearl. "You're too tense. They'll notice." She swallows, and nods imperceptibly.

They twirl across the floor, Pearl focusing on the way Gem's hair bounces in the chandelier's light. Her antlers are adorned with little flecks of gold, and Pearl imagines them tonight, when this is over, curled up in bed. Her head will be on Gem’s chest, and she’ll be able to hear the soft thump of her heart.

Gem spins them off to the side, walking with Pearl’s arm in hers, making her way to the throne. The crowds part before her ornate green mask, detailed in gold. It is quite intimidating, Pearl thinks. It's fierce, gold shaped in such a way it looks like teeth.

"Stay close," Gem murmurs. Pearl thinks the mask brings out the sharp emerald of her eyes. "We don't know what he's planning."

Pearl would really like this night to be over actually. Or she'd like to go back to dancing.

She breathes in, spotting Impulse by the throne. He's dressed in  his deep black armor, outlined in jagged gold. His axe is on his back too, sharpened to perfection.

The Executioner nods as he scans the room as well, searching each face for threats.

Gold, Pearl thinks, is a very big symbol in their kingdom. Her own suit is adorned in gold stitching, leaves twirling around her wrists and neck. Impulse's own armor has gold up and down his arms and legs, with an "i" carved above his heart.

The Queen has claimed them, is what Pearl thinks. She's taken them and she's laid her claim on their souls.

They reach the throne. As she sits, Gem motions for Pearl to lean in close. “I see them,” she whispers. “Don’t look. Back left of the room, next to the drinks.” The Queen smiles, and presses a chaste kiss to the edge of Pearl’s lip. 

“Let Impulse know,” she whispers, as gasps erupt from around the room. “Get them out of my kingdom.”

Pearl takes a step back, and bows. “As you wish, my Queen,” she replies.

She does not look back as nods at Impulse and draws her silver rapier.

[youronlybean]

Do you have any one-line ideas of any crossovers/AUs/heavenly, like fleeting thoughts that crossed your mind once, like @ someslothcheese's ao3 prompts? Basically something you felt was not enough to even share.

I have a list of these in my notes :0 (mostly zeroyalchaos, shockingly. Also a genuinely surprising amount of Kara and Chilled?)

- Kara as the Goddess of Death, Chilled as a new god (like Hermes - travellers, thieves, etc.) and they bond over people asking for safe passage to the afterlife

- Slack crushing on Skadj cuz he’s an arsonist

- PR1 detective AU, Ze is asked to step in on a fraud case even tho he only works murders but Chilled gives him puppy dog eyes, Kara as a forensic scientist, the case turns out to be mafia related

- mcyt/PR1 crossover, a café run by the Evo crew that has a pride party night every month that Shubble brings her PR1 friends to. They vibe and have a good time

- Lethal Company angst. Possibly SkadjATK. Possibly ZRC

- “You said ‘Kill him or I’m gonna kill us both’, what kind of terrorist shit is that?!” - chilledchaos quote (I don’t remember what I was gonna write with this but Chilled did actually say this once)

- Tay and Jeremy bond over rage and murder :)

- “I know,” Ze whispers, tightening his hold on his husband. “But I want you to know that I a hundred percent believe everything I said about you.”

Chilled squints at him. “Twelve years ago you called me a piece of shit garbage who kills for money.”

“I’m almost certain I didn’t,” Ze deadpans.

- But it’s one of those rare moments where Chilled is quiet. It’s not like he doesn’t have anything to say - Chilled ALWAYS has something to say - rather he doesn’t feel like speaking right now, which is uncommon and at times, unsettling.

- Knight AU with Em and Pasta, Em is Pasta’s knight and they also make out :)))

- Kid Cheesy AU where Kara, Ze and Chilled share custody of him but Ze and Cheesy have the same laugh and Chilled ends up falling in love with him whoops. Also they’re all best friends because I said so

- The Redrum Circus AU

- Courtilly group mom fic

- AxialFawkes cyberpunk speedracer fic. Jeremy gets injured and can’t race, Tom’s mechanic bails on him so Matt fills in

- Spooky PR1 - Kara as a witch, Larry as a werewolf

- Dread Hunger but it’s that one stream where Chilled and Kara went out to get resources and Chilled sacrificed himself for her

What’s the situation with hostile mobs in the marriage of the state AU? I assume the answer is different for night mobs and Illagers/witches, based on what you’ve mentioned before?

So, if nighttime mobs do exist, do they come from somewhere? Or do they just form out of death smoke like they do in the game? Slime is an important codland export, so are slimes different?

And Illagers are probably just another race right? Or is it more of a culture thing? Are villagers also a race distinct from humans? How do the codfolk/mythland interact with the swamp witches, who you mentioned before do exist?

Also this isn’t really related to the main question but I don’t want to make a separate ask; are gems antlers from elven or deer-hybrid ancestry? (Are elves just deer-hybrid fae?)

Wow that’s a lot of questions, your Worldbuilding is really good btw. (And your writing too)

It's low-key kind of scary how you you're batting...three for three? i think? on asking exactly the thing I really want to talk about XD

You would be correct, most of the night mobs are basically wildlife, if incredibly hostile wildlife. Creepers and spiders and such. (Though spiders are sometimes less hostile and more just, doin their own thing and mindin their own business.)

Skeletons and zombies are also not sentient (anymore) and are basically considered large, dangerous pests. Like if cockroaches were human sized and out to ruin your day, specifically. (I'm not sure of their exact origins yet, because I haven't quite decided how I'm adapting my base mcyt mythology for this au)

Spiders are just like real world small spiders as far as "where they come from". Creepers and Slimes are actually similar in origin, n that they are sort of a magical manifestation of an environment. They both kind of...grow? Out of the land. Slimes are a bit pickier about where they grow from.

Slimes can also be farmed (As in livestock, not in the minecraft sense) which they are in the Swamp, where they also grow at a higher rate. They can be fed algae to encourage them to grow, and then split to make smaller slimes, which can be grown in turn.

Creepers just...separate themselves from the land and wander around after dark. Unless they encounter something that causes them to explode. They're generally considered to have about equivalent intelligence of dogs, as far as anyone can tell, and don't seem to be sentient.

Illagers/Villagers are just human/human+. Villagers are usually interpreted as citizens of relevant empires (see, smajor's elves and ldshadowlady's...pastel fish people) while Illagers are a specific culture, mostly based out of the mountains. (This is mostly because I just associate them with mountains because that's where I somehow encounter most of the Pillager Towers I find while playing minecraft.) They are primarily nomadic but do have bases (said towers) and most of them consider the Crystal Cliffs to be their homeland, as much as they have one.

Witches are also humans/hybrids and its a set of abilities and skills and not a species. the Swamp Witches are a specific group who live deep in The Swamp and mainly are fairly isolated, through they do provide council and aid to the other Swamp Dwellers, particularly during the Occupied years, which was when they separated from the majority of the population and went into hiding, when they were targeted by the invaders. The other Swamp Dwellers tend to regard them with cautious respect.

There are also wandering witches, who tend to travel around and either help or harm (based off personal inclination) as they go. Pix is on decently good terms with about half of them, with the other half it is on sight. (Mostly on the part of the witches)

Most Witches do not exist on good terms with Mythland, even a few hundred years down the line. Tensions remain.

As for Gem's antlers...

:)

So elves are not deer hybrids (or owl hybrids) despite sharing a few physical traits. (and the fae of the Overgrown are not hybrids either, despite frequent resemblances to butterflies and/or cats)

The primary differences are instincts. Fae and fae adjacent people tend to have some physical traits of different animal species, but they aren't actually from the species if that makes any sense. They don't have the animalistic instincts and tendencies any more than they have the human ones, despite resemblances both ways.

Hybrids are actually human+, as I referred to them earlier in this post. All hybrid species started out as humans. They're ultimately the result of the environmental magic of the world (and sometimes meddling from gods and spirits and such). They will have some combination of physical traits and instincts from their additive animal species, to go along with their human ones. They will also have human lifespans and developmental cycles, with a few minor variations here and there.

(But Rain, you say, you made a whole post about Seafolk and their life cycles and development and how its different from humans? Yes because the Seafolk aren't entirely hybrids either. The Deep Oceans have their own variations of fae folk and there was much more intermarriage and cultural crossover there than on Land. But that's another post altogether.)

As for Gem in specific...All I'll say for now is that

A) There is some extant xenophobia against fae races in a lot of majority human kingdoms and half-elven and elvish-descendant individuals often struggle.

B) Gem insisted stoutly her entire childhood that her antlers are because she's a deer hybrid.

C) Deer hybrids have tails.

D) Gem does not have a tail.

[deityoftherain]

what's something you've been wanting an excuse to ramble about? :3

oh wow what do I even chose

okay uhhh I assume you want mcyt/fanfic related stuff because that's kind of my whole thing so okay okay

In my tales of the empires au, I have thought out their nationalities and (fantasy) races, the languages they use, and their land-

Edit: I ramble for a long time about things and I had to cut myself off because it was going really long. Look under the cut for everything!!

The most interesting of these are the oceanfolk because the oceanfolk don't have separate terms to differentiate between their nationality and race.

Oceanfolk are considered any person that has sea creature traits. Oceanfolk get these sea creature traits by being blessed by a collection of dead sea creatures before they are born. This is also part of why oceanfolk have no qualms about eating and hunting fish and etc because the souls and spirits of those creatures live on in each of them. It is sort of taboo for one to eat the animal that blessed them specifically, though, but there is not anything technically against it.

This is also why Lizzie and Jimmy are full biological siblings despite being an axolotl hybrid and a cod hybrid respectably. Their mum is also a squid hybrid, but that doesn't really matter.

It is possible to have oceanfolk heritage without being an oceanfolk. If you weren't blessed by the sea creatures before your birth, it doesn't matter if you have oceanfolk blood or not, you're not considered oceanfolk.

That is one reason why there isn't a difference in terms for the majority of their existence. Another is because humans are the ones who created translations to other languages. This is why "common" is common. Common is the language of the humans. Humans have created translations to each of the languages spoken among the empires, eventually creating common. It is easier to translate from common to oceanic than it is elven to oceanic, for example.

Considering that common is what we talk in and blah blah, the humans named the oceanfolk that in common before enough oceanfolk learned common to have any influence on anything! This is also why The Ocean Empire is called that in common. The Ocean Empire on common is not a direct translation to |The Ocean Empire| in oceanic, but the humans and other common speakers used it so widespread that it stuck. It's like how our word for Germany is not the same as what Germans call themselves in their own language.

All the other empires have terms, being Rivendellian, Grimlander, Undergrovian, Mezalean, Mythlander, Helianthian, and Overgrownian. If they are oceanfolk not living in The Ocean Empire, they are a __ oceanfolk. For example, if they lived in Gilded Helianthia, they are a Helianthian oceanfolk.

Eventually, near the end of the series, there is a term that gets created for reasons I will not explain because spoilers (you should read the AU and find out). That term is "Oceanites" so those apart of The Ocean Empire are Oceanites. That term is very very new though.

Furthermore, the (fantasy) races of this world are humans, oceanfolk, elves, fae, and gnomes. These races can crossbreed, creating mixed children and there are different terms for that.

For part oceanfolk children, as we mentioned before, they are only considered oceanfolk if they are blessed with features. If they don;t get those, then they are considered __ with oceanfolk heritage, or, for example, (demi)fae with oceanfolk heritage. It is possible that there children may be oceanfolk, but they aren't.

Speaking of demifae, those are one of the halfling groups. Demifae are halflings or people who are mixed. They show a lot of fae traits to the point it's noticeable, but they aren't fully fae. Elflings are similar in the way they are part elf part another race, but their elf genes are more prominent. If one is part fae and part elf, they are called a demifae or an elfling depending on what traits they get more. Are their wings like an elf's or like a fae's? Do they even have wings? Does their magic present more like an elf or a fae? Do they even have magic? etc etc- also, they are considered gnomes if they are short like gnomes. Gnomes don't tend to marry outside of their race and people call them gnomes if they're short like them, even if they are biologically more something else. That should explain that-

Let's see, am I missing anything...

Oh! Okay, so their languages are common, {elven}, |oceanic|, ~faeish~, and [grovine]. I use those symbols to indicate what language is being spoken while still letting the reader understand what is being said! I haven't gotten to use faeish yet and that's sad- maybe one day, but everything else has been used!

The special thing about grovine is that it is a mostly signed language! It originates from the Undergrovians aka the gnomes. They used to live in a very dangerous place so they preferred to sign over use verbal language. A verbal grovine has been developed, but it is very rarely used or learned because it is better to just learn common if one is going to speak anyway. Undergrovians sound a good amount like Grimlanders because Undergrovians learned common from Grimlanders when they first came to the world.

There are eight established empires currently. There is Undergrove, Grimland (Crystal Cliffs is an academy and town there), Rivendell, Overgrown, Gilded Helianthia, Mythland, and The Ocean Empire.

Codland is not considered an empire, but that land does exist. Spoilers, I suppose. The Lost Empire does also not exist and Joey was thrown to Mythland to be an older brother to Sausage for lore reasons. I have it in my head that Pixandria exists, but less as an empire, and more as a hidden religious community in the desert that no one knows about.

The idea about that is that Pix is a god who gets visions about the past, future, and present of the empires, but just... doesn't contact them. He hangs out with his follower's descendants. If he ever did leave and contact them, I assume he would mix people up a lot with people who are dead or not alive yet. Who knows if I'll actually write something for that.

The large area where The Lost Empire, Mangrovia (the charity empire), and Spawn are on the map is considered "the deadlands". It is inhabitable land that is alive and will never let you leave. If you enter the deadlands, you are not coming out. The land is cursed for reasons also discussed in the au.

Okay, I should probably shush now, but if you have any questions, let me know! You can ask on Tumblr through this post or my asks, or in the comment section of my fics, or join my discord and ask in the proper channel!

I have so much stuff- like, I have a whole family tree and I can tell you the emperors ages at any point in comparison with each other and eeeee

[hybbart]

Im sorry I'm new here, I can because of cute art. What is the premise of the Rancher Apocalypse AU? Also are they your OCs, from a DND game or something similar (because in your bio it says something about DND), or is it from a Fandom? If so what Fandom?

Hello, and welcome!

They're minecraft youtubers Tango Tek and Solidarity aka team rancher. They played together in a short series called double life. They have basically been my hyperfixation for the past 4 (5?) months. (Now that you say that I might add them to my bio given they're now 1/6th my blog...) They're not my OCs or PCs, and I use a different art style for mcyt content.

My usual art is D&D stuff, but I haven't drawn much recently, so I suggest using tags or archive to find those. My main tags for D&D are D&D, Dungeons and Dragons, and Dandart, but they are also tagged by class and race. Monster boys are tagged by their species also.

As for the rancher apocalypse AU, it's just that. A biopunk (primarily zombie) apocalypse survival AU featuring team rancher, presented in a slice of life diary format.

It started because I was reading apocalypse stories, and I use it to mess with backgrounds and lighting. It's not planned out, just whatever I decide to draw next, but I do write out some story to go along with each post.

[serenescribe]

for the fic writer ask: 🍚🍜🍡🍘

Fic Writer Asks

🍚 What genre do you have the toughest time writing?

answered here!

🍜 Do you ever feel pressured to write?

sort of! not by other people, but mainly by myself. i often have limited time to write, and can only really sit down and focus during breaks between semesters and school years. i oftentimes cannot write at all during the ends of my semesters! so i end up pressuring myself somewhat to write while i can, because i don't know when i'll be able to do it next.

that aside... i can also feel pressured if i'm racing against canon (see: writing 15k words in two days just so i could get glaciers chapter 2 out before episode 19 of fhjy dropped). i also sometimes pressure myself to write because i love it when people enjoy my work! which is a much lighter pressure, but pressure nonetheless — it isn't imposed on me by readers at all, but merely my own desire to return the amount of enjoyment everyone's comments have brought me :)

🍡 Which of your fics was the most emotionally difficult to write?

i want to say "pénthos" because it was a grief fic, and i wrote it while coping with emotions surrounding the impending loss of a beloved pet. but it wasn't so much emotionally difficult to write as it is impossible to revisit without shedding a tear.

on the other hand, i remember feeling so many powerful, visceral emotions while writing "we've got history." i cannot encapsulate how much i felt writing these chapters. i channeled the pure fucking rage of espresso in chapter 1. i was dying writing madeleine in chapter 2. what the hell. i felt like i came out of a boss battle and lost despite finishing the fic. finishing it gave me relief like nothing i had ever known.

🍘 Is there a fic or idea for a fic that you've abandoned?

OH BOY. DO I HAVE AN ABSOLUTE TREASURE TROVE. i'm answering this under the cut. this is going to get long.

i wrote an espresseleine fic in 2022, clocked in at just over 40k words, and never posted it. it's more or less abandoned despite being finished because i pushed myself too hard writing it and burnt out so badly i couldn't stand to look at that writing ever again. maybe someday it'll see the light of day, but it's already been two years, and i don't know if i'll ever write for crk again.

on another note, i had a mcyt fire emblem au back in 2022. i was making it with the help of a beloved friend. unfortunately i never felt confident enough in writing the characters so it never came to be — but i think this short, simple sentence is still the best start to a fic i've ever written, and i'm sad that it will never see the light of day.

this isn't so much abandoned as it is half-shelved, half-reworked (i like the au too much and have repurposed it for a different fandom, BUT i also love the original so i want to return to it someday. two cakes), but i had a fire emblem awakening fic. can't say too much about it but here's morgan and lucina siblings from 2022.

pretty sure i had a p5 au idea where third semester played out differently with akira taking maruki's deal, and goro being forced to step into the role of wild card instead. never got too far into writing that though but i found this.

i found a silver and lilia roleswap while i was digging for stuff????? i BARELY started it i straight up forgot this existed

anyways the very nature of being multifandom with constant, shifting interests means that i definitely have a lot of abandoned works. these ones are all from recent years, but i know, deep in the depths of my soul, that there's more.

let's not even get started on ideas. if you get me started on ideas, we'll be here all day.

[canarydarity]

howdy! it's day 1 of MCYT fanfic appreciation week, and i was wondering if you had any future writing projects or other ideas that you wanted an excuse to talk about :D no pressure whatsoever to answer this ask, just thought i'd reach out ♡

HI :')) this absolutely made my day to receive, and also served as reminder to me that yesterday was that events start day!!! so thank you for that!!!!

i will always always always take an excuse to talk about the fic ideas that are rotting my brain <3

I'm going to talk about 3 projects; 1) yet another DL rancher one-shot 2) my current brain rot go to: speed racer au 3) and a worm tried and true classic: gay baseball au

cut here because....i am a rambler

I'll start with what y'all are most likely to see next,,,

After the second session of Limlife came out, I wrote a little vignette from Tango's pov that included a throw-away scene from DL where someone left a golden apple on the ranchers porch in the middle of the night as an extremely un-funny joke. And that. idea has haunted me since I thought of it,,, I outlined it months and months ago though never got around to writing it... but for some reason a few days ago I opened that doc again and it just sorta. happened.

it's only about halfway done right now, but if all goes well it might be up by the end of the week :)) small preview mayhaps:

The door not yet having been opened, the possibility of what was waiting for him on the other side yawned and stretched towards endless. In a way, not knowing but speculating was worse than just opening the damn thing and facing the one singular scenario that was, but that was why he struggled to do it. Schrodinger’s danger—this was stupid; Tango opened the door.  No one was there.  He blinked in the face of its emptiness for a moment. Of all the situations he had considered, absolutely zero of them included opening the door to nothing. The one definite thing a knock spoke to was the presence of someone—something. So, what, they risked the middle of the night in peace times to come to the ranch they all loved barging into any time regardless to ding-dong ditch? That seemed, like, a gazillion times more unlikely. 

---

Then...the thing that is currently carving out its home in my brain...speed racer au. Tango-centric, more tango & etho angst than it is team rancher tbh.

The au is based solely on the 2008 movie speed racer, not as much the rest of the franchise! I guess /warning for speed racer spoilers, but the movie came out 16 years ago and the anime is from the 1960's...............so like.............also come on

I...have absolutely 0 clue how to describe to you the plot of speed racer. imagine you drive a race car so good and look so hot while doing it that you take down the mafia AND defeat the evil that is capitalism. That's speed racer. Like most worm aus its...not a comprehensive story. it's mainly me taking scenes from the movie that i adore and reimagining them with life series characters in those positions.

Tango is our titular character, an up and coming, widely known and celebrated automobile racer. He's the only racer not sponsored by some big company, he'd rather his pals—his family—be in control of his car, the Mach 5, and his racing career.

This is so so silly to try to explain you have no idea. I'm just going to say it. So when Tango was a kid, his older brother Etho died in this really dangerous unofficial non-track race thing. Two years later, theres a new racer in the league calling himself Racer X. No one knows his actual identity, and, at all times, he is wearing this. mask. thing. umm. anyway so Racer X is secretly Tango's older brother who Tango thinks is dead. And he now races under a secret identity because he is trying to take down. the fucking mafia. who own a whole bunch of racing teams and do crime and things. cause why not. Im going to stop over-explaining speed racer, just take this snippet and go:

“Look, can we cut the bullshit?”  If Tango’s mounting poor mood had any effect on X, he didn’t show it. He maintained the stillness of a wildlife photographer, danger not a warning to flee but more the promise of a shot worth sticking around to capture. Tango had felt studied since they’d cut the engines, since X’s head had popped up over the wheel, smirking—but now he’d felt seized.  “Alright.” His mouth opened, all the energy to press on but none of the gall. As usual, he’d gotten too ahead of himself; clutch pressed to the floor, shift it into first gear, every intention to move with no promise to follow through. He didn’t ease off the clutch so much as he ran away from it; he’d stalled, his mouth shut dumbly.  There wasn’t the time to wait it out, and Tango didn’t think he’d afford it to himself if there were. This moment had been promised to him since Casa Cristo began. He might not have then, but standing here now he knew it to be true. He thought X knew it, too—this was inevitable. He knew it like you knew you had minutes before your mom found that thing that you broke, like you knew someone was about to walk away from you for good. It was no less natural to him than knowing he was going to be a driver, no harder to glean from his future than being able to picture Jimmy by his side. He wouldn’t squander the chance because he hadn’t been adequately prepared for it to arrive.  Tango choked, “Etho?” “You think I’m your brother.” When he said it it was a statement, not a question.  “Aren’t you?”

---

And lastly...gay baseball au :')) or rather, "against all odds"

yes I'm still stuck on that, YES I plan to keep writing it.

I posted a little bit ago,, beginning of January, that I wanted to post the first chapter of baseball au if possible around/on my birthday, which is the first week in March. I can't PROMISE that will happen, because I am working on grad school applications at the moment and I also. know myself. and want to have the UTMOST MAJORITY POSSIBLE of the writing done before I post it. otherwise. I won't go back. But...tentatively that is hopefully the plan <3

Once again: plot summary, snippets

Have another for free :))

“What about you, Jim Jam?” Jimmy frowned at Skizz, only somewhat confused and mostly sure that he shouldn’t have been. “What about me?” “The question—what would you do if you weren’t doing this?” With clarity came even more confusion. It had felt normal for the others to ponder what-ifs and other lives where they did other things, a rightness that immediately soured when the spotlight had shone on him. There were no alternate versions of Jimmy, this was the only one in existence; he was a model toy that had never made it off the drawing board, no plans for mass production—too little consumer interest.  “Oh…I dunno.” He thought baseball might be the only thing he was capable of, and even then that didn’t mean he was good at it. “I’d never thought about it, I guess.” 

Anyway, I will exhibit exemplary self control and stop talking now. Thank you again so so much for asking <33

„No One Sleeps At Night”* [Info panel]

[*or „It’s Dark Out”]

Mcyt AU by: @littlescammer & @pvmpkim

Ilustrated by: @pvmpkim & @ari-axis

Basic info:

- - -

What caused the apocalypse?

Due to unknown reasons Earth has stopped moving around its axis. It caused half of the globe dive in non-passing night while the other half become dry and burned because of the sun.

- - -

Why is the action taking place only on the non-passing night side?

Despite the darkness, most of the survivors decided to fight for their life on the night side, because it is easier to find water there. It is also possible to grow plants in greenhouses thanks to that. You only need to find a good source of energy (other than solar energy).

- - -

Is this world build more in Minecraft world of more classic postapo world realities?

Due to the fact that postapo is a science fiction sub-genre and the situation with the Earth just stopping is unlikely to happen, we decided not to include the classic mobs that can be found in Minecraft as an everyday element, so that we can get closer to real life world. Therefore we will put redstone connotations and the story will most likely include [SPOILER ALLERT!]:

- minecraft origins (or at least those that managed to survive ehe) which will be refereed as “hybrids”* and “races”**

- Warden (:D), Ancient City and Deep Dark stuff

- overgrown spiders, phantoms and new additions to the Earths fauna and flora. 👽👍🏻

- - -

Hybrids and Races case

For example - Jimmy is a hybrid because he has human and non-human genes, but in reality he is a different race because he is an so called avian. He has many changes that make him unlike a human, despite having a partially humanoid appearance.

Races that have human genes in them can be called hybrids (although some may be offended), but not all hybrids can be called a race. There are cases of mutations that are too few to be passed on to offspring, or to create any at all. Changes to the appearance or function of a hybrid that is not eligible to start a new race are lost with them upon their death.

It's too early to tell yet, but it is suspected that by stopping the Earth, hybrids' ability to procreate has decreased, thus preventing races from settling, which may explain why is it easier to meet a one-of-a-kind hybrid than a representative of a particular race.

- - -

Who will be included in the ido/nosan series?

Minecraft personas mostly from so called Hermempires (Hermicraft + Empires), maybe NewLife SMP, don’t know yet. I don’t plan on adding anyone from DSMP or QSMP.

- - -

How will the series begin? How will your posts look like?

I ( @littlescammer ) will be posting here something similar to chapters or diaries if I feel a need to show you how a single situation looked in mind of a character. The “chapters” will mix of different POVs of various groups or duos starring in the series and I will be using omniscient narrator for that. Diaries will be posted as 1st person narrator, obviously.

Also sorry for my mistakes, this is my very first time writing something like this in English which is not my native language. 🙏🏻 Fell free to correct me. 🧍🏼‍♂️❤️

So I am the writer and @pvmpkim & @ari-axis are illustrators. 🤝

Btw we are starting with ranchers POV, because the illustrator 1 said so. ;)

- - -

How should I call the series? “It’s Dark Out” or “No One Sleeps at Night”?

Well… First name for this AU was “No One Sleeps at Night” and it was my idea. I liked it, because it sounds nice and poetic in my native language and it was pretty spontaneous. Also the acronym for this in English translation is NOSAN which sounds like “no sun” which is… Correct. XD But before I noticed that @pvmpkim decided to call the AU “It’s Dark Out” (instantly in english) because it’s more clear and plain. So yeah…

I guess we will be using two for now and we will se which one will work better in future. Maybe I will make a pool if the series would gain more attention.

- - -

This post will be edited to add more info! :D

Anything to make me feel less numb

A/N: Happy Valentine’s Day! I’ve been noodling about this AU for months now, and when I saw you were also into Destiny? Well, I couldn’t resist. Hope you enjoy! (Title from It’s All Futile! It’s All Pointless! By Lovejoy) @arcaneglitchlitch @mcyt-valentines

A desolate moon, a desperate man, and a bad idea (Read it on Ao3 here)

Europa had to be one of the worst places in the solar system. Freezing cold, with wind that always tried to blow you away and snowdrifts that piled up to your waist in places. Tommy shivered and pulled his cloak tighter around him, mentally thanking Techno for gifting him one lined with fur. 

Kristin’s voice crackled to life over the radio. “The last time we were able to make contact with Wilbur, he was around here. Hopefully he hasn’t died of exposure yet.” 

“Not funny.” Tommy shoved his face into the fur collar. 

She sighed. “I know. Look out for him? He’s been acting strange since—” 

He bristled. “You would be too, if you lost your ghost.” 

“I was trying to be delicate.” 

“Whatever. This place gives me the creeps.” 

Kristin laughed a little. “You’re telling me. That pyramid is the worst; I don’t know why he’d wind up here.” 

“I’m worried I might.” Tommy set his mouth and held out his hand for Henry to summon his sparrow. 

Racing along the surface made the biting wind even more unpleasant—he had never been more thankful for his helmet. Without it, he’d definitely have frostbite after just a few minutes' ride. Insulated armor could only do so much against the sheer force of a planet that seemed to hate him specifically. How Wilbur was faring with his tendency to eschew heavier armor… well, Tommy wasn’t thinking about it. He wasn’t thinking about it so hard. 

“It’s like finding a needle in a haystack,” Henry muttered, mostly to himself. “If Friend were here, I could just ping him, but…” 

“I know,” Tommy snapped back. “We just have to find him on our own.”

“Did you ask Scar?” Kristin asked. 

“I did. No sign of him. He was heading back to the Tower, though, so I’m going to go check out the campsite anyway.” 

“If it got cold enough, he might have gone there for shelter,” Henry finished. 

“Well, good luck. I’m running late for a Consensus meeting. Keep me up to date?” 

“Will do.” Henry gave a little twirl. 

Tommy pressed down on the accelerator as he crested another dune of snow. As soon as he rounded the corner into the flat plane that surrounded the campsite, he spotted a black structure in the distance, clearly built in the architecture of the pyramids. Standing on its steps was a familiar set of brown robes. 

“Wilbur!” He yelled over the helmet’s external speakers. “Where have you been?” 

Wilbur didn’t turn around, continuing his climb towards the top of the structure. Tommy raced the last feet between them, stopping just before the structure and using the light to propel himself to land just in front of Wilbur. 

“What are you doing?” He grabbed onto Wilbur’s shoulders. “We’ve all been worried about you. We should get inside, it’s fucking freezing out here.” 

“You can stop treating me like I’m fragile.” Wilbur shook off his hands. 

“Still, we shouldn’t stay around here for too long. This place is full of darkness.” 

“That’s rather the point,” he snapped back. 

“You can’t be serious.” Tommy looked at his face, obscured by his helmet. “We just killed Eramis, man. We tried to stop stasis.” 

“Well, what if we didn’t have to? Scar wields it just fine.” Wilbur attempted to push forward. He was no match for Tommy’s light-assisted strength. 

“Yeah, but he’s Scar. You’re—”

“I’m what, Tommy. Why don’t you tell me.” 

“You’re mortal, for one.” Tommy’s hands hovered in the air, halfway between resting at his sides and reaching for Wilbur again. “What if it kills you?” 

“So what if it does?” Wilbur shouted. “What if it kills me? What if it leads me to die right now, instead of slowly withering of old age? What if it stops you from watching me grow senile, while you stay trapped in the body of a fucking teenager? What then?” 

“I don’t want you to die.” 

“I’m already dead.” Wilbur deflated. “It’s just a matter of when it finally catches up to me.” 

“Scar has a ghost.” 

“And I don’t. So we can stop beating around the bush.” 

“Wilbur—”

“Please. I’m so tired of being weak.” 

Tommy inhaled for a second and stepped to the side. There was an awkward moment as Wilbur tried to get around him up the stairs without falling off and breaking his ankle. Tommy wound up grabbing him by the shoulders again and slightly picking him up so they could manage it. 

On the other side, Wilbur dusted off his robes with as much dignity as he could and continued climbing the ziggurat. Henry hovered nervously over Tommy’s shoulder, watching as he climbed towards the top. Tommy took a few steps back. 

At the peak, Wilbur reached into the aether and pulled out a shard made of the same strange material as the pyramids in a vaguely triangular shape. Tommy and Henry both watched as he considered it for a moment and before gently offering it toward the center of the ziggurat where an array of four floating shapes waited. 

For an instant, the world seemed to hold its breath. Even the raging wind quieted to the point it only barely stirred the bottom of Wilbur’s robes. His hand stayed in the same offering position as he began to gently float into the air, shards of ice coalescing around his body. 

For a moment, Tommy tried to reach out to shatter them, but his hand seemed stopped by an invisible force. All he could do was watch as the ice froze Wilbur into a statue. All the air rushed forward, whipping his cloak around him, before blowing back with an audibly whoosh as the ice exploded into a million tiny shards that reflected the blinding light of the endless snow back at him. It looked as though Wilbur was surrounded by a halo as he floated, suspended in air for another few moments before gently falling back to the ground. 

“Well.” He turned back to Tommy, playing with crystals of ice he formed and dispersed in his hand. “What do you say we go test this out? You and me, just like the old days.” 

Tommy took a second to jam his all doubts into the little box in his chest. “You know, I hear there’s a group of fallen living in the old Braytech facility. Bunch of real wronguns.” 

“Well.” Wilbur grabbed his scout rifle off his back. “Sounds like we have a mission.”
