I love them sm also first post <3

Not the best bc it’s like past midnight

…

Tango sighed as he,once again,failed to perfect his redstone machine for gobland king that had hired him a few weeks prior when himself and the rest of the hermits had first ended up in his world known as Empires SMP however it really wasn’t their fault,or it was mainly Grian’s fault as he was the one that made the majority of the Hermitcraft members go through the large portal in his base or otherwise called the rift which was a very a ominous name but they didn’t comment on it

The nether blaze was very deep in his thoughts so he didn’t hear the door behind him open which caused a a small creak as it scrapped against the floor,the wide open door revealed the sheriff of Tumble Town,he was also known as Jimmy and was the taller ones soulmate back in double life but unfortunately they were the first duo to die meaning they were the ones to lose but that didn’t matter,they only cared that they had lost each other but now they had each other once again

Jimmy watched the blue blaze pace back and forth causing a small sigh to escape his lips as he walked forward,the large yellow wings on his back were tucked neatly behind his back,sometimes slightly hitting the large sheriff hat that laid ontop the messy blonde hair “Tango?” He quietly spoke,not wanting the other to lash out like he had done previously to some others when his redstone wasn’t going right,that caused the other to turn around quickly and his expression to soften as he saw the canary

“Jimmy,hi” he muttered,speeding over and wrapping his toned and muscular arms around the slightly shorters waist who in response quietly chuckled before running his king fingers through the redstoners hair,causing his hands to become incredibly hot very fast however he was used to it,after all the used to be together every second of the day so he would’ve had to get used to the heat always emanating from his partner

It was quiet for another minute or two before the blonde spoke up once again “What’s up,rancher?” Of course the answer was obvious however he wanted Tango to tell him,as the other looked down at him a soft smile replaced the small frown on his face before he nuzzled his head into the shorters neck “Redstone.” Tango simply explained before his hold tighter causing a small gasp to escape the others throat,wings slightly opening before speaking once again “Okay,let’s go home shall we? I’m sure Fwhip will understand” the sherrif tried his best to keep the clear distaste in his tone hidden but it was merely impossible,he at the moment wasn’t the biggest fan of his soulmates ‘boss’

A small nod could be felt causing him too smile before slowly separating himself from the other,grabbing his gloved hand before turning around and almost speeding out the gobland as he personally didn’t want to spend another second in the underground empire with the potential thought of that they could run into the ex-deputy who teased and annoyed the sheriff any second he could which is one of the reasons he was fired.Eventually the two made it to the nether portal and out safely,now back in the home of the blonde canary

The two of them flew down the large cliff before ending up at the new and improved ranch made specifically for the blaze after saying he would stay in Tumble Town which caused only pure happiness through both bodies,the only thing missing from it was all the animals but that was nearly as important as each other,both quickly climbing up the ladder to the small bedroom with quite a large bed with red covers as it was still Tangos favourite colour.Both ranchers laid on the bed,cussing close to each wither with Tango at the back,face buried in the others neck while playing with Jimmys wings with one hand with Jimmy played with the slightly redstone dust covered hands as they had a thin layer of red

They coughed happier but they always enjoyed these moments with pure silence and just the two of them alone in the safety and comfort of their ranch made them forget about the rest of the world until someone came knocking at the door which was usually Scar or Fwhip but they would worry about that later in the morning,for now the sound of the other breathing and a very quiet heartbeat made them happy.

been brainrotting over ranch duo (i think that’s their name???? right??) recently. so here. have some headcanons:

- jimmy takes care of the cows while tango takes care of the chickens. The calves love jimmy and often flock to him and often will just sit on him, trapping him in place until tango rescues him (because jimmy’s not going to shove them off)

- jimmy’s canary wings only come in after his first death (aka where he’s one of the first to die), and that’s gonna hurt, so not only do they both have to deal with the pain of the explosion, they have to deal with the pain of that a little bit later too

- none of their friends are actually sure whether they’re together-together or not, because they’re physically affectionate with each other and jimmy’s called tango his husband several times already?? but they also act confused when people ask if they’re dating

- they’re such a good duo because tango always asks for jimmy’s input on schemes etc. because he values his input and doesn’t just immediately brush him off and that’s all it took for jimmy

- they only have one bed in their base because they don’t have the resources for any more, which means they end up sharing. which works out really, because jimmy runs warm and tango can’t regulate his own body temperature (i hc him as some kind of netherborn, and to me it makes sense that they’d rely on the nether’s heat to keep them warm) and he’s always cold, even after jimmy got him a blanket

a few more ranch duo hcs because people seemed to like the last ones:

- they almost always seem to have coal dust on their hands (canary and his coal mine) but they're not actually sure what it's from. they do, however, like smearing it on each other's faces and seeing how long it takes the person to notice. they do it around others as well and see how they avoid bringing it up or pointing it out

- tango likes the chickens best because theyre like small heat packs that he can carry around with him. some of the ones that like him more even sit inside his jacket and poke their head out at the top

- tango's eyes glow in the dark/reflect light, and jimmy found it annoying at first because tango would blink at night and there would be light on their walls. now he jist finds it reassuring, if he glances back when they're on a mining trip and he sees these glowing eyes watching him from a distance, making sure he's okay

- they've also perfected the art of sending pulses of feelings across the bond, doing it every now and again to make sure the other is alright (i am only thinking about the angst potential with this one). feelings of happiness or appreciation feel warm, apparently, while sadness and fear feel like a bucket of kce water has just been dumped over their heads

Jimmy, empires 2 episode 18

[ID: a minecraft screenshot from the empires 2 server, taken in the tumble town train tunnel. Jimmy’s facecam is included in this screenshot, on the left of the image. He looks delighted. On the right of the image, Tango’s minecraft character is looking directly towards the viewer. He’s in his deep frost skin, and wearing shelby’s witch hat. He’s holding a goat horn. End ID]

HC Empires Season 2 takes place after Double Life (Like how some people hc'd Empires Season 1 after Third Life) and Jimmy becomes a Sheriff because of the Ranch.

[circesays]

SPOILERS FOR SESSION 2!!

…

Okay but the moment Tango started huffing and separated himself from the ranch house, watching his and Jimmy’s home burn to the ground, my imagination conjured an image (haha sike apparently I conjured a mini fic. why. how did this happen so quickly-????):

TangoTek, a blazeborn, usually has a pretty solid grip on his fire. He’s a very lighthearted Hermit, willing to joke and play around. His anger is quick to rise and quick to fade. Sure, occasionally his hair will spark when he’s especially passionate about a project, or his mouth and nose will puff smoke when he’s annoyed, but Tango very, very rarely emits full Flames when he’s around non-fireproof material. (Of course, his own base and the Nether is fair game. He’s not just going to suppress a vital part of his soul, after all.)

Tango has seen projects go wrong. He’s lost battles, been stung by betrayals, even mourned. Throughout it all, he refuses to let his flames touch the people he loves and their creations, because his friends are so important to him, regardless of the battlefield or the stakes. It’s all just a game in the end, after all…

Tango breathes. He tries to remind himself of that. He huffs, and he stares, and he hears Jimmy’s voice go in one ear and straight out the other. He hears the yelling and the laughing and the taunts and the communicators buzzing and the cows panicking. None of it matters right now. He backpedals, staring at the still-alight ruins that he and his soulmate once called home. He distances himself from the very much wooden structure.

Because Tango is fully ablaze. Full, roaring Flames burst from his core as he seethes. Scar has never had to worry about the unstoppable force that is a blazeborn’s Flames. Scar has gone unchecked, gallivanting around, trying to make Tango betray his soulmate. Scar burned their home to the ground.

Tango seethes, and rages, and burns. He lets Jimmy help him tame the Flames with a special horn and a calm, yet trembling smile. He pulls the Fire inwards until the last sparks are dancing in his hair. The Flames may appear as though they are gone, but Tango merely lets them burn brighter in his core, stoking them.

They’ll come in handy when he returns the pain a thousand fold for hurting his soulmate. And this time, the fire will never touch a hair on their heads.

Scar is going to pay.

[scribbling-dragon]

Hey, since Jimmy stopped wearing his mask during his red life in the one eyed au, does he continue to not wear it after? Do those on Empires get to see what happened to him or do they only hear rumors?

i feel like he would stop wearing it, only because mostly everyone knows, and he's worried they'll call him a coward again if he hides his face once more.

the empires find out slowly, either from rumours that spread or going to visit tumble town and seeing it for themselves. no one brings it up, a little worried (both by the reaction and what they've heard from double life)

Our ranchers are back!!! And also there’s a third wheel of goodtimes.

Grian, Hermitcraft 9 episode 26.

Tango is closest to the viewer. He’s in his deep frost skin, and he’s wearing Shelby’s witch hat. He’s holding some cooked pork, and looking slightly to the left of the image. Scar is behind him. He’s in his default adventuring skin. He’s looking slightly to the right, and is wearing fWhip’s elytra from before he turned it invisible. Jimmy is facing left, but looking more towards the viewer. He’s The Sheriff, outfit and all. He’s holding an enchanted netherite sword. End ID]

SUMMER HIATUS IS OVER BABEY IM BACK TO TALK ABOUT BLOCK PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!

[circesays]

IM AM SO MAD THAT TUMBLR ERASED MY FIRST VERSION OF THIS. WHY. Time to rewrite 30 minutes of editing.

Frustration aside, here’s some notes for a fun “villain” Tango and hero Jimmy friendship story! Features Rancher Duo, misunderstood dungeon master Tango, unwilling hero Jimmy, ravagers, wardens, and adventures, oh my!

(I put most of it below a cut because I wrote a lot lol have fun!!)

———— :) ————

Jimmy is the prophesied Hero and member of the legendary Minecraft Adventuring Guild (MCAG), whos party has abandoned him due to his clumsiness to “protect” him, leaving him at home with a sense of betrayal and some very reckless ideas.

Tango is the mighty villain and ruler of Deep Frost Citadel, menace to all who live… yeah except he’s not. Tango actually runs a Ravager and Warden sanctuary, where he rescues abused ravagers from pillagers and maintains a healthy skulk network for his Wardens.

Jimmy marches into DFC and finds Tango with no intent to harm him (he was prophesied to defeat Tango and was kinda forced into it by his village and adventuring guild) and is like “I’m here to negotiate. Stop terrorizing people. Also please don’t murder me” and Tango instead is like “actually we don’t do that here. You seem kinda lonely and bored, how would you like a job?” (And a boyfriend and/or beloved friend cough cough-)

Jimmy and Tango run Deep Frost Citadel and Decked Out (the sanctuary/dungeon run) for a couple months together when finally Tango senses the heroes’ party approaching and decides to absolutely Clown On Them.

So they enter and are like “We’ve come to end your evil deeds once and for all!” And Jimmy enters the room like “Babe, Janet just gave birth to two absolutely amazing, healthy baby ravagers and ohmigosh they’re so cute you gotta come see them- oh hey guys!”

Cue absolutely flabbergasted stammering and indigent arm/hand motions until Tango and Jimmy just break down laughing.

-More Pieces/Story elements/headcanons-

-Tango can sense when someone is approaching Deep Frost Citadel with the intent to harm

-he usually attempts to ward them off with snowstorms and negotiation, but very very rarely is forced to kill intruders to defend himself and his assistants. He mourns every death and always returns them to the nearest settlement

-Tango has run Decked Out for years, a dungeon run that’s healthy for the ravagers and the Wardens and allows people to gamble for treasures with only risk of minor harm (they can enderport out at any time)

-Most people nowadays believe Decked Out is actually a villainous scheme to provide raids with ravagers and create an army to destroy the world with Wardens and ravagers.

-Jimmy’s old party consists of Grian, Lizzie, Joel, Scott, Pearl, Gem, Sausage, Fwhip, and Scar (who is now the clumsiest but still skilled with the bow). He loves them dearly but hates how they underestimate him. He’s not very good at swordplay or archery but he’s charismatic and funny and people like him.

-Jimmy could never hate his old party but it took him a while to stop being bitter

-Jimmy is the son of the town fisherwoman, and he loves fishing and swimming. Unfortunately he wasn’t able to continue his hobby while out training to fight

-Jimmy and Tango both know MCSL (Minecraft sign language lol). Everyone in DFC has to know it because of the Wardens, but Jimmy learned from the children of his village because he wanted to be able to talk to lots of different people

-the MCAG is a large and extremely famous adventuring guild that consists of many inner-guilds and parties, including the popular Hermits, Empires, and DreamSMP (Dream’s Survival-Magic Parties)

-Captain Sparklez leads the MCAG because of course he does.

-Jimmy’s old party is unusual because it consists of Empires members and Hermits. But his party was also a “temporary” party that was only supposed to last until Tango was defeated

-the question that remains after all of this is… what now?

Please please feel free to use any of these ideas. This is just for fun. I might write it later.
