[solidaritygaming-fanblog]

Hi there! This is your ramble free pass. You can talk about whatever topic you choose for as you like. :)

this has been sitting since February. Anon thank you for this. Have a draft of the line of events in my apocalypse au. It has no name as of right now

*clears throat*

Jimmy, Joel and Grian share an apartment when a quarantine is called over the city and all nearby areas due to an unknown disease cropping up. Possible slice of life with the three going to a half looted store and running around being silly as a coping mechanism. This disease surfaces and the the quarantine is called around early January.

A public emergency is declared a few weeks into the two months they spend inside, where the news and other public infrastructure slowly degrades. The trio start running out of food, and the final straw to make them leave their apartment and take to the streets (despite the disease) is their water breaking. Sometime among this period is when the apocalypse starts, although it doesn't look like that for a while. Also about halfway through this time period Jimmy runs out of anxiety meds.

After leaving the apartment, they met a few other groups (mean gills, nosy neighbors) (I forgot to mention this was limited life inspired. Lmao) while hanging around the river front. They purchase a ham radio set (because the majority of people still living have set up a bit of infrastructure near the water source) and hang around for a week and a half, getting gear and socializjn with people other than themselves until they have their first true run in with the infected. A massive horde of zombies sweep into this safe area, and a large amount of people die. The bad boys barely escape with their lives

Its around this point where their focuses start developing. Grian traded some of the stuff from their old apartment for multiple guns (pistols and a hunting rifle) along with ammo, and he finds a bow and some arrows from the wreckage of the safe zone afterwards, practicing with then and having a naturally affinity for ranged weapons. Joel is the brute strength of the group, and relies on said strength, using a baseball bat as his main weapon. He also carries the majority of the heavy gear- water, canned food, cooking equipment, although they make sure everyone has a bit of everything just in case. Jimmy is quick, light, and good at climbing and excels at scouting and other similar things. His main weapon is a machete that allows him to still keep a bit of range from zombies. He also is the best of all of them (for some reason) in bandaging and cleaning wounds- he's not good when there's actively bleeding out, but after the wound stops, he's basically a perfect field medic.

The trio wander around the city for a while before deciding to head towards a large park. All the while, they run into groups of zombies, some they even recognize as people they met in the waterfront safe zone. Not that much stops them, though, except Grian injuring one of his legs right before they make it to the park.

Once they are inside the park, they come across a much smaller group of people holding out- headed by the Family. Ties are also part of this small group. They take in the bad boys, no questions asked, and offer them extra food- including fresh meat. The bad boys only spend around two weeks there, though, because Joel is kidnapped by Tango and tied up. Tango only doesn't kill him because Cleo comes in and exclaims that they "actually liked this group", and while they are arguing, Joel learns that all the meat they have had is actually human meat! Anyway, the other bad boys notice he's missing, and start searching the camp+ The nearby woods area for him. Tango and Cleo decide to move Joel to a harder to access place to kill and butcher him. They (stupidly) un-tie his legs form where they were tied to the legs of the chair, and he kicks them away and escapes. Upon getting out, he finds Jim and Grian (who already had all there stuff+some of Joel's in preparation to start a larger search) and tells them what happened. Grian goes back into camp, acts like everything is normal, and gets Joel's bag, before escaping because. Yknow. Cleo sees and goes "Hey I don't care if you say you haven't seen Joel, you might suspect and I am not letting these people go hungry".

They move back towards the city center (because that is the one place the Family wont go), only taking one break at the outskirts of the park, where Jimmy remembers that he has some dried meat he took from the Family's camp site. They end up burying it, partially because that's the safest option to do with what is most likely human body parts, but also because they need to deal with the guilt of being cannibals somehow. Also it's highly implied that, during the winter, Skizz decided to sacrifice himself to feed the group and Impulse went almost mad with grief.

Once reaching Downtown again, staying away from their old apartment and the waterfront, they wander and take shelter in abandoned store fronts at night. After maybe three weeks of this (they are still very paranoid about the Family finding them), they find this massive water drain (think the one from Terminator 2 but much steeper and skinnier) and Grian decides to go down into it because he thinks he sees an old campsite under an overpass. Typically thats Jimmy's job but Grian decides he should be on top of this pile of debris nearby to look out for zombie swarms, and gives Jim one of his pistols to take out any that are approaching.

Anyway. Grian goes down, pokes around and doesn't find anything of use, until a small tube (where water will dump in from storm sewers) towards the head of the big drain starts echoing weird noises out of it. He goes near and a bunch of zombies burst out, attacking him and preventing him from getting any of his weapons. Joel yells for Jimmy, who runs over, but there's no saving G and he's just screaming for someone to end this because he's getting eaten alive. It takes Jimmy a minute but he manages to shot and successfully kill Grian with his gun. After this, Joel drags Jimmy away. This is meant to be early July.

They hide in an abandoned office lobby for about four days. On the second day, they have to eat some food from a can that's past its expiration date, and Jimmy later throws up (the food wasn't bad, Jimmy just has horrible anxiety and fears of rotten, moldy, or otherwise bad food, and only ate in the first place because he feels a large amount of guilt for killing Grian and felt like he deserved it). The next morning, Joel returns to the site of Grian's death and retrieves his bag, weapons, and general equipment. Jim and Joel spend one more day in their hidy hole before heading out again.

They wander for maybe two weeks (possibly running into Martyn again, highly likely he's with Ren now) until Jimmy gets sick. Not sick with the whatever made the zombies zombies, just some general flu/cold type thing. Joel gets overprotective and breaks out the masks and stuff they still carry from when they thought the infection was something else. They decide that this is a good chance to get their radio set up and try to listen for any updates, and about five days pass until something happens.

Joel is outside when the broadcast happens, but he hears Jimmy scream- he runs back in, and finds Jimmy so panicked he is unable to speak, and attempting to turn off the radio only makes it worse. So, Joel waits- and eventually they pick up a signal again. A news broadcast, confirming the announcement from the government that they are going to drop a nuke on the city in order to halt the infection, in 17 days time, at sunset.

They take a couple more days to get Jimmy properly recovered, and then begin to work their way out of the city. However, their are more zombies then ever, and by the time the final day rolls around, they have only made it to where their old apartment building was. So, they decide to go up, and hang out on the roof until sunset.

(This is where it gets gay)

they're both crying, and tell each other how much they mean to them, and then kiss. Wahoo. It's very emotional don't worry. Anyway they stand on the edge of the building as the sun starts setting, and Joel confesses that's he scared of dying like this. And then they decide to jump.

... there's a lot of build up please believe me when I say this I just don't wanna write a novel here.

anyway yeah. The bomb drops, but they're both dead already. The end of this story is around late September.

All of the dates I gave here are rough estimates! There's definitely time periods that are not going to be written in full detail, and I need to get better at spacing things out, but this works and it's fine. Anyway I'm very glad I got this written out because!!!! I have a basis now!!!!!

Some silly HermitCraft age regression headcanons I like!

Remember, these are entirely my opinion, you don’t have to agree! I might not even use them in my writing! It’s just for fun! :DD

- Keralis and Xisuma both have a very strong parental instinct! Though Keralis has the ability to tell when anybody is even slightly regressed. (He won’t tell a soul how he knows.)

- Ren has a very hard time not regressing when he sees another regressed person. It’s almost on sight.

- Ren chews through most chews he’s given and often feels very bad about it. Though his friends are very understanding and help him eventually feel better about it.

- Impulse and Etho are both caregivers and regressors!

- Grian is a complete cuddle bug while little. He has to be touching someone at all times, hand holding, hugs, cuddles, the whole shebang. He tries to deny it afterwards, chalking it up to avian instincts, but deep down he knows it’s true.

- Scar tries to have a stuffie with him at all times, he sees them like they’re alive and treats them as such.

- Bdubs can nap absolutely anywhere and everywhere. You could go to any hermit and they could give you a whole list of the strangest places they’ve found him sleeping. (Could be seen as age regression or not!)

- During the hippies days in s6, Impulse, Grian, and Ren would have little playdates, they’d play all kinds of board game or hide and seek. Sometimes Scar, False, and Doc would come over too! Or they’d all go to area 77, and have big movie nights!

- I have a feeling Decked Out 2 is a very overwhelming game, so Tango had a calm down/sensory room put in place in case anyone needed it! (Could also be seen for age regression or not!)

In honor of him taking care of Gem's inbox, Jimmy Solidarity versus emails.

If Jimmy had one flaw, it was being too damn nice.

If he had any flaws, of course. Which he didn't. He was tall and handsome and amazing and a genius, and more than capable of taking on any task he set his mind to! Including this one, which he had taken on out of the goodness of his heart, because he was just that awesome. He could handle sorting out a few emails.

A few...thousand...emails.

Jimmy flopped back on his bed, and the holographic UI of his communicator followed him. He stared up at the red notification label that loomed over him menacingly, casting a shadow over the warm sunny day and familiar chatter of the Hub that he could hear outside his open window. A few hours and he'd barely made a dent in Scar's inbox. Never-opened newsletters, expired coupons, and obvious scams were deleted with barely a second glance, while receipts and important records were sorted into folders.

One folder was earmarked for fan mail, even the ones full of criticism rather than compliments, though anything that was outright vitriol Jimmy made the executive decision to delete. Another folder was dedicated to requests from sponsors and potential collaborators, things that Scar needed to look at himself in the near future and reply to. The ones with recently-passed deadlines were responded to with a canned apology - except in certain cases where Jimmy recognized the senders' names and got a little creative with his response. He hoped Joel appreciated the haiku.

Why had he made that stupid joke about being everyone's personal assistant while they were gone? Worse, why had he said "no really" when they joked back?

He knew why. It was the shadows under Scar's eyes, and the exhausted tremor when he gripped his cane or chair wheels. It was the tightness in Impulse's laugh and the way his tail flicked low to the ground. It was the way Gem's face fell when she opened her communicator to see another email notification, covered quickly by a smile that didn't reach her eyes. It wasn't that Jimmy wasn't busy himself. But his friends had poured so much of themselves into this event, and so many other projects too. It was worth a few hours of inconvenience to take a little bit of the strain off their shoulders this week.

By the time the sunset stopped casting its pink glow over the room, Jimmy had worked so far back into Scar's inbox that he found the email from someone at Noxcrew after his first MCC, asking if he'd found the disability accommodations in the arena suitable or if they needed tweaking. If it had come from Scott then Jimmy would have sent one of his silly or sarcastic responses, but he didn't recognize the sender's name. And he didn't imagine a stranger would appreciate a random response to an email from well over two years ago, so he opted instead for dismissing his communicator's display with a wave before rubbing his eyes and yawning.

There was still some food in his inventory left from the armful Tango had shoved at him before leaving. Jimmy briefly considered going straight to bed and saving it for morning, but the last time Skizz had come back from an event, he fretted over Jimmy for three days after Jimmy accidentally let slip that he'd skipped one lunch. No, best to eat dinner, just in case.

Another three emails came in while he ate, and he grimaced at the last ding. It sounded oddly loud in the quiet house, and it occurred to Jimmy that he hadn't spoken to anyone besides Norman in almost two days. He'd thought it would be nice to have some time to himself for a little while, but it had gotten old pretty quickly. Maybe he should call someone? But everyone had a pretty packed schedule for the day, they didn't need him bothering them just because he was a little -

The abrupt ring of an incoming call made Jimmy jump, and he answered automatically without checking the name. "Hello?"

"Hey Jimmy!" Tango's grinning face filled his screen the moment the video call connected, and Jimmy found himself smiling before he even realized it.

"Hey, Rancher. Everything okay? Thought you'd be pretty busy today."

"Oh we're swamped. But we had a little time to get some lunch and I thought I'd check in. I miss y - "

"Jiggles!" Skizz shouldered his way into frame, ignoring the indignant squawk from Tango. "How ya doing, buddy? Did you eat dinner? Getting enough sleep?"

Jimmy laughed. "Yes, dad," he teased. "Ate my vegetables and everything."

"Good!" Skizz ignored the hand squishing his face as Tango tried to push him away from the screen. "Wish you were here. There's some amazing builds that we..."

Jimmy listened to Skizz chatter on about everything they'd been up to, occasionally punctuated by additional input from Tango and is that Jimmy? Hi Jimmy! from people passing by in the background. Pearl leaned over Tango's shoulder to wave enthusiastically, and Joel made a heart shape with his hands that Jimmy reciprocated.

"Jimmy!" Gem snatched the communicator away from Tango only seconds after he'd managed to retrieve it from Skizz. "I just saw my inbox. You're amazing! Thank you so much."

"It wasn't a big deal." Jimmy felt his ears flush at the praise. "Yours was nothing compared to Scar's."

"Of course it was a big deal! You have no idea how relaxing it was to open my email and not see a single hate comment." She looked up as Pearl called her name, then handed the communicator back to Tango and waved. "Gotta go! Thanks again!"

"We gotta get going too," said Tango, and Jimmy tried to keep the disappointment off his face. "We'll be home in a couple days. Anything you want us to bring back for you?"

"Just yourselves, safe and sound," said Jimmy, and Tango smiled softly. "And maybe some coffee. I still have Impulse's inbox to sort through when I give up on Scar's."

Tango laughed. "You got it. I'll bring you the biggest coffee I can legally purchase, and an even bigger hug. Don't overdo it, okay? Get some rest."

"I will." Jimmy said his goodbyes to Tango and Skizz, and pocketed his communicator after the call disconnected. Brief as the call had been, the house felt a little less lonely now, and he hummed to himself as he took his plate to the sink to wash it.

Another notification chimed out from his pocket.

Time for round two.

HEH… NEVER FEAR… PEARLDAPH ANON IS HERE… 🦸

weekly theme submission : little guy ❤️

pearl comes back from session 1 of wild life only to find out that grian DUCKED UP! with the code and now everyone is stuck with their sizes till next session. she is Not Happy understandbly but hey might as well get used to it!

so then shes sent mail by zed asking if she was willing to come over so he can study the case a little. pearl is like. Well got nothing better to do and goes over to do so. Or Tries to but bro is so little her legs are quite teensy

zed comes over and cute shenanigans entail. hes like awwww <:-) so silly! ❤️ and Pearl just kind of Suffers in embarrassment ❤️

maybe she falls asleep at some point and zed is like that one reactiom image of the guy gripping their heart crying

any. Way thats all i got For theme hope i cooked

by yours truly, 🌙🌾

She did theorise travelling to Zed's via mail, but she doesn't think Tango or Etho are in any shape (literally) to fix it if she broke it... So, Zed had to come to her!

As much as Zed fawns over her cuteness, he has genuine experiments to do! They test Pearl's jump height, speed, the effect of potions and food, block placing and breaking... Anything Zed or Pearl can think of (because she has plenty of ideas too. Like how long it takes her to drink a bowl of soup.)

It turns out the comfiness of big pillows experiment was too successful though... Now Zed is forced to watch over her until she wakes up. For science. Of course.

Welcome <3

Right now you're on my pinned post, which will be my main sorting system on this account! Every Information or AU you will need that already exists on this acc will be here!!

Me and My Tags <3

My name is Aster or Iasoni, I'm 20 and I've been hanging aroung the MCYT community for a while. I'm new to the Tumblr though! I had this acc for a while, but I never knew, and to be honest, still don't know how to use it! I will be struggling in here a lot!

#asterous yaps - The tag where I will be talking about anything and everything! It will be random stuff that comes to mind, MCYT included!

#asterous writes - My little silly headspace where I throw all one-shots and AU ideas/fics! If it's just an idea, feel free to reply asking for the real thing, I might write it! (and you can always send your own requests and ideas in the ask!)

#asterous ask - The place where I will be answering your questions!! (PLEASE VISIT MY ASK)

My MCYT Works <3

Open Horizon [Trafficshipping!]

-- An interactive superhero AU, the first part of the series "The Greater Esempi"; Mumscarian-centric; Rating - Teen and Up, but it might change to Mature depending how dark the series grow;

TW// PTSD, Depression, Blood and violence, Death, Fantasy racism, Delirium and derealization: Unhealty relationships (Platonic) and coping mechanisms.

Love Ranch [Trafficshipping!]

-- A flower ranchers AU, where Jimmy and Tango think that there's a new ranch in town, and they are now in competition for the market, when actually the new "ranch" is therapy, run by Scott and Cleo.

This is based on Double Life, but this is an AU for a reason; a lot of stuff is different, and relationships are different. They still have drama and issues that might reference the actual series, but otherwise, it's just my creation.

I do writing commissions!

Hi! I'm officially opening commissions! :D If you've been around here, you probably are aware that I write for free when I get the ideas in my inbox/ask, but they are mostly around 1k words, so I decided to give it a try and give people a chance to commission me for much bigger stories.

I do:

Ship fics, Platonic fics, Gen fics. Different fandoms (Mainly MCYT, Voltron, Percy Jackson, and many others that I can't remember right now, but you can ask me in the inbox!) Both canon and alternative universe settings. I'm ready to develop the whole worldbuilding if needed. Slightly suggestive themes (everything either joked or implied). Dark themes like murder, torture, suicide, etc.

I don't do:

OC stories. I don't think I will be able to capture your characters well enough, without having enough content. Darker themes like pedophilia, incest, rape, etc. Smut.

The prices!

My regular price stands at 5€ for 2k words! If the commission is multi-chapter, then I'll take 5€ for each chapter! (The words might range from 2k to 5k.)

If your currency is different, we can talk about the prices in DMs while discussing the commission! (I myself came from a country where 5€ is too much for 2k words, so I will understand and try to accommodate!)

My Ko-Fi <3

(I also accept donations, in case you like my writing and you feel generous! I am in a very rough situation right now, which is the reason why I'm opening these commissions, so...)

-----

Additionally, if you require a writer, I CAN take that job, and we can discuss the payment later on. I can and will gladly help with games. Worldbuilding, script writing, I can help.

[stair-tilez]

Hi guys, good luck with drawing today!

For any of your blorbos, 2, 3, 5, 28

Mariusrenathyrs-crashout

hello!!! thank you :D!! i did three blorbos just for fun and because im a tryhard </3

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

shepherd; AUGH !!!!!!!! YOU CANT MAKE ME CHOSE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i cant pick anything serious because there's too many good choices so i'm gonna say its the fact his lesser restoration is just him making coffee..... i think its cute <3 i think. well, i know from a certain point of view, that he would Not like how much creamer i put in my coffee kana; she is so painfully human, she cares and of course shes strong and dependable and determined but she also freaks out and makes mistakes and isn't perfect. the entire party has such fascinating relationships with the idea and actual act of being human that it makes kana being this highly moral warrior human that much more fantastic . if that makes sense i might be rambling madly skrimm; oh this damn goblin of multitudes... i think my favorite thing has to be his relationship with graveyard jack ESPECIALLY with the latest episodes. just seeing how he tests the waters of how connected they are was such a good touch and just the moment i realized he was working up an appetite in case he needed to be hungry for graveyard jack to eat?? augh its so fucking good

3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?

shepherd; sliiiight cop out answer but everyday i think of when well, spoilers, but he let himself be talked into something he knew he shouldn't do and was dead set on Not doing and like I Know why Andy did it (he talked about it in a&c) but god. grabbing shepherd violently. why the fuck would you do that you dumbass!!!!!!! kana; this doesn't quite fit the question but i need to say it. i hate how much her master and her backstory got meme'd on at the end. i know they were carrying around that old man during some really inconvenient times and he was soooo sickly and everything was too serious so the jokes were nice but it felt so dismissive of her story and it genuinely really bothered me. and i know she gets to have her moment with her master eventually but even it was really blegh and . blows up. basically i wish they had capped off her personal arc better but i still love her dearly skrimm; this is gonna be blasphemous from me, guy who loves to pair skrimm off with just about anyone, but i don't really like skrimm/daisy, not cause its bad or anything i just feel so painfully indifferent about it. i see it happening before my eyes and i should think its cute but i find that this is the one subplot i really don't care about.. i love and support all skraisy shippers though you guys are awesome

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

shepherd; so kind of poor mans poison to write music about shepherd before he was around <3 (silly)

kana; i have naught even a sliver of defense for this one. i just think about her a lot and it makes me sad

skrimm; this is a little silly but i stand by it

28. If you could have this character meet another in another media, who would you have them meet?

im not very crossover-pilled tbh but ill try to think of something o7 shepherd; tangotek from hermitcraft (s10) i kept trying to think of something other than hermits but like. i genuinely think shepherd and tango would be good friends. tango would casually ask if shepherd wants some upgrades to judgement and redemption and the moment shepherd was like "good doctor cogburn made these for me, i dont think they need any tinkerin" tango would immediately be like "oh fuck i did Not approach that right" cause he meant it like a helpful gesture but it would not read that way. hed spend a few days making some fancy ass lighter as an apology like "hey man i didnt mean to imply ur guns were bad or anything, tinkificating is just what i do." then hand it to him with little fanfare. shepherd doesnt need a lighter, but he would appreciate the thought and the apology kana; coral glasses from ena dream bbq i dont have any like super deep thoughts about this, i just think they should relax together and just talk about the nonsense they both deal with. kana would be fucking blown away by the happening of the world of ena but part of her is sitting there like "woah... almost makes me glad i dealt with strahdanya instead of . any of that." meanwhile coral glasses hears kana's story and starts sweating like "how the hell did you deal with any of that... not even getting paid for it either.." skrimm; booker t raccoon from uprooted i couldnt think of anything so cop out answer it is, i need to study these two like bugs because they would be so territorial of their friends from each other even tho both of them are Not interested in the others friends. theyre silly like that

[wireman-au]

Talk about the laundromats.

This is a good way to distract yourself.

The thing about the laundromats is--okay. It's a silly thing to be proud of. You've taken freelance jobs that have made you a lot more money for a lot less work. You've done things that sound a lot more impressive than the laundromat thing. You're a very competent software engineer; that's a skill that's in high-demand.

Tango and Zedaph had made fun of you, a little bit, for how excited you were. You pointed out that they couldn't talk, given Zedaph is off trying to find proof of extraterrestrial life (or any other relevant radio signal from space, he would clarify if he were here to argue), and Tango--at the time the secret agent thing had been a joke, and everyone had sort of assumed Tango's government job existed in case one of his gizmos ended up actually being useful for something. That, or he was just doing paperwork.

(God, you feel like an asshole now. The thing is, Tango isn't good at keeping secrets, so you'd all known it was classified, you just didn't know that--this is supposed to be a distraction.)

Skizz had gotten it immediately, though. It's like how he let the local little league pay him thirty bucks a game to ref for them. Sure, that's not nearly reasonable money, not compared to his actual landscaping jobs, but the thing is more--

You hadn't had to use the local laundromat much. Perks of living in a house; you have your own washing machine. The water main on your street burst, though, and you had dirty clothes you had to wash while they were repairing it, so you'd gone to the laundromat and discovered they had the world's worst payment system, combined with an app that didn't work. You could only think about all the people who had to use the laundromats in town, and how it had taken you twenty minutes to pay seventy-five cents, and...

Well. You'd had the free time. You work freelance. You could probably undercut whatever the out-of-the-box solution they were using was, right? So that's what you did. Offered about half your rates for the chance to help solve their machines so you could just pay for them. And you did. And it worked.

You aren't sure anyone noticed the new systems; unlike the old one, they worked. Unlike the old one, there was nothing to notice about them.

But you'd noticed them. And you were so, so proud you had been the one to fix that.

It's a silly thing, especially next to Tango joking about being a secret agent, or Zedaph and his astrophysics, or whatever the thing Etho does is, or even Skizz and his landscaping. But it's probably your favorite freelance job you've taken.

That's why you bring it up when you can.

That's what you're talking about, that feeling, when you're talking about the laundromat.

[horsemeatluvr23]

You get two headcanon lists today :D The found family vibes with these guys are really strong btw - Weighted blanket anon

- Never tell a hermit something is impossible. They don’t believe in that word. Anything is possible if you try hard enough.

- Bdubs is terrified of the dark, all the hermits he visits regularly have nightlights set up in case he stays the night. He’s super embarrassed about it though.

- Etho, Zed and Gem have stuffed animal collections, they arrange playdates for their stuffed animals on a weekly basis.

- The Hermitcraft server itself is sentient. She’s very protective of her members.

- Stress, Xisuma, Joel, Doc, Joe, Skizz and Impulse regularly meet up to make and talk music.

- Tango purrs when happy.

- False experiences episodes of terrible paranoia, the hermits do everything in their power to help her through them.

- Ren puts on plays for his friends all the time, he loves acting, he loves getting into character and telling a story! The hermits are more than happy to watch his plays or even participate in them.

- Pearl is teaching Mumbo how to draw!

- Mumbo, Scar and Grian do photography together.

- Mumbo loves to shove himself into the smallest spaces, they’re nice and cozy!

- Xisuma gets really bad brain fog sometimes, Scar helped him accept that it’s not something he can control and that it’s okay! He’s learnt that it can lead to some pretty funny moments.

- Hermits would kill for each other, no questions asked. Actually I think they would just kill, no questions asked.

- Iskall likes to bite people.

i imagine lots of hermits donating nightlights to bdubs because "they make a space more cosy at night" or "little lights are so pretty they make your base look so cute", and they say the same thing about the candles and glow berry vines and fairy lights they keep in their houses just in case bdubs wants to sleep over

also i Heavily support the all hermits purr when they're happy agenda... or at least the equivalent of purring... they're all silly little animal hybrids to me

misc lore drop day 34/?

Thank you again to @jango-tango for the ask!!!!

What is considered a weakness in your OC that is actually a strength? What is a strength in your character that can be twisted into a weakness?

Fernando

As I talked about yesterday, definitely his whimsy. As he gets older, he starts to consider it a weakness, a frivolity, something that needs to be given up if one wants to succeed in this world. But at the same time, that trait is what really endears him to other people. I think he gets in his head that a king must be a certain way, and really struggles to stray away from that ideal. But when he acts a bit silly and whimsical, that’s when people are like “ohhh he’s not such a bland guy actually!” He spends a lot of time skulking and being moody, and as I said, thinks that’s just a sign of being older and more mature. When in reality, him oppressing his whimsy is what is leading him to be upset all the time. 

To go along with the first answer, I think his commitment, especially to formality, would be considered a strength, specifically during the time period, but it negatively affects him and those around him. It can be twisted into a weakness because it deprives him of living a happy life sometimes. I think he really struggles to not constantly be committed to a specific image of a perfect king. It’s good for his rule and public image, but makes him come off as cold and inauthentic to those around him, which makes his unfamiliarity and outsiderness even worse. It would be one thing if he were an outsider but tried to adjust and get along but no. For the longest time, he insisted on sticking to his own rigid image. It’s definitely a strength to be able to be that committed, but it also gets messy when it starts making people perceive you in the exact opposite way because it’s so obvious it’s a mask, at least partially. 

Seb

His weakness that’s actually a strength is definitely his authenticity to himself. You might be like, isn’t it a good thing to be authentic? NO, not at this time. Like you can see with Fernando’s facade above, the ideal leader is usually considered aloof and above it all. Seb can just NOT do that, it’s so difficult to be serious. Though this eccentricness is really endearing, and gets him what he wants because people find it very sweet. This means even if he’s really bad at pretending to be something he’s not, it tricks people into thinking they’re getting one up on him. He can plot pretty well, like he is genuinely good at politics, just so "bad" at playing them. But again, his inability to play stereotypically well ends up working out for him anyways because people trust his authenticity, and don’t really think deeply about whether he might be double-crossing them or screwing them over. People look at him and his mannerisms and his innocent face and think, "noooo he would never do that!!" Oh yes he would.

His confidence is probably his strength that can be twisted into a weakness. One would think it’s a good thing to be confident and believe in yourself. But It puts him in a lot of difficult places when he doesn’t automatically get what he wants, because you can see it on his face when he is or isn’t happy with something. He’s just so self confident that it breaks him when things don’t actually work out the way he wants them to. That kind of self belief is a double edged sword because it’s great when everything works out, but absolutely shatters when there’s struggle or outright failure. It's important to remember that confidence in his case is moreso fueled by how he was raised to be rather than something he had to build up overtime on merit. Not that he isn't talented in many ways, but that he was taught he is perfect at everything.

My IL OC Pride, and some various silly doodles I did (some before his design was truly finalized). He's the best big brother and point guard you could ask for.

(More lore under the cut) 🦩

Pride is his name, and Basketball is his game! He plays point guard for a team called Flamingo Tango.

He's kinda a by the books type and a perfectionist to a fault. Every game to him is kind of...life or death for lack of a better word, and takes the sport pretty seriously. Rarely smiles, yet is honest and would rather die than tell a lie. Cannot gaslight gatekeep girlboss, fails horribly at among us. Has contagious laughter IF you can manage to get him to laugh (which good luck).

Who is Flamingo Tango? Let me tell you.

Flamingo Tango was a basketball team, naturally, and one that tried to be more ethical. They played fairly, they didn't retire their leaguers to the arms trade, human personnel treated the leaguers like people as best as they could, it was pretty fantastic on paper.

Though unfortunately, Flamingo Tango was a classic case of "wrong place, wrong time". Sponsorships and funding were pretty tight, but there was a small bit of hope.

Flamingo Tango had commissioned a pretty advanced newer model of leaguer to be the shooting guard, and hoped with relatively advanced tech under the hood and what sounded to be a great sociable personality to be the default, the star a failing team needed. You might know him!

That's right, originally Topjoy was commissioned for Flamingo Tango as their shooting guard, and he played relatively well!

Pride was his sort of mentor, but more importantly an older brother figure of sorts. Together they really were the pride and joy of Flamingo Tango. TJ was also the only person Pride would really let his guard down and felt like he could have fun with as well.

However, despite the skills of Flamingo Tango's pride and joy, it wasn't enough to bring in funds to stay afloat. The Iron League was simply at it's most corrupt and violent, and another team trying to play fairly was seen as very undesirable. Unlike Silver Castle, who managed to stay afloat, Flamingo Tango could not, and eventually assets and mechs had to be sold off, primarily to Dark. From there canon proceeds.

Pride was unfortunately, retired pretty quickly upon being obtained by Dark, but perhaps (and in my heart) he makes it out of the battlefield and back home. His memories are a bit fragmented and cloudy, but he definitely remembers his adoptive younger brother.

Bonus: A few misc. doodles originally posted to the IL community on tumblr, some before I figured out Pride's design :P He's just hanging out

Hiii can I ask what ur Hermitcraft headcannons areee

This ended up wayyyy longer than anticipated so here we go

This is a pretty open request so I’m just gonna list random headcanons. I’m also assuming you meant agere so thats what I’m going to do here.

Who I headcanon as a regressor kinda changes depending on what I’m writing, for example in my short fic Hanging Stars, Zed doesn’t know Tango regresses until s9, but I typically imagine they both regress and have known for a while.

I think Tango regresses from 3-5 normally, and at that age is quite active and excitable, he can’t sit still and prefers to run around rather than sit. The one exception is watching cartoons, he will be glued to the screen and can easily watch for hours, so he needs someone around to keep him from wasting the whole day staring at a screen. Occasionally though he will regress younger, more like 1-2, typically when he is tired. in that case he is more nervous and would rather sleep cuddled up with his caregivers than go on adventures.

As I covered in a different post (Here) Zed is a baby regressor, I already talked about it in that post.

In the context where most of the server is open about their regression I think Grian always builds a huge room in his base as a play room for the littles! It has tons of toys, a cozy blanket nest for naps, and a little kitchen always stocked with easy snacks!

In s7 Joe’s dog catcher business actually involved him putting a bunch of dog stuffies around the shopping district, after all of that he gave one to every hermit, little or not.

Grian has the biggest collection of stuffed animals ever seen. Most are birds, but he has many others including a toy sheriff from empires, a cod, several cats including a Jellie from Scar, a stuffed corgi from Joe, and a llama (Scar has a matching one) 

Keralis is a flip I haven’t really thought about how he’d be when little, he is the best babysitter when hes big

He would always use cute nicknames with whoever hes caring for eg: baby, little one, some cute play on their name

Always making sure that his little is safe, constantly telling them to be careful so they don’t get hurt

Loves making his littles laugh, he makes lots of silly jokes, his favorite being to pretend he doesn’t know something suuuper obvious, so the little can tell him the answer while giggling at how silly he is

Grian loves trains when hes little, he has a play mat with super detailed roads and houses on it that he likes to play trains on.

Pearl’s favorite thing to do when little is play pretend, she isn’t super used to having a cg I think so she probably prefers to go on adventures and get into trouble with her stuffed animals! 

I think Impulse is a cg for both Team ZITS and the Soup Group, Zed and Tango care for each other if they aren’t little themselves, as do Gem and Pearl

When Tango and Zed are both little Tango loves to be Zed’s big brother, but he’s frequently too loud for Zed and accidentally scares him, so Impulse always has to keep a close eye on him.

I think Joe and Etho both regress but its not super obvious when they do, as they are both older regressors (Joe 8-9, Etho 12-13). The main signs that Joe is little is that he doesn’t use as complex of vocabulary, and he is more energetic. Etho spends most of his time alone when he’s regressed, typically either drawing or watching anime and reading manga or comics.

also thank you so much for asking! I love talking about my agere hcs sooo much!

[amethystfairy1]

So I just got to this blog but I've been reading ttsbc for a little while now and it's amazing! Tango is very very well written, I've read a lot of fics and I've never seen his silliness and self doubt so well captured! :)

I've also been wondering how much inspiration you've taken for doody's superhero au as I've noticed a lot of similarities between the two. /genq

I’m so glad you enjoy my goofy lil Tango!

As far as I’m aware, the only inspo I’ve taken from doodys superhero AU is the Hot Guy and Cute Guy are frenemies dynamic…with their AU the humans and non-humans live together in society albeit not peacefully from what I understand, while in TTSBC that is most certainly not the case…I do keep up with doodys AU though, of course! I think it’s absolutely amazing and I get so excited whenever I see they’ve posted new art for it! But I credit it in ‘Pretty Boy’ just because seeing their fanart is what got me thinking about Hot Guy/Cute Guy in the first place!

Fics Wot I Wrote - 2020-2024

It's been a while since I did this, to the point that calling it 'year-end' is kind of dumb, but hey, that's the tag. For the last few years, my muse has been fickle and time-poor (hello, full-time job, lesson planning, unit writing, exam marking, etc etc etc). This is the post where I round up all the fic I wrote this year (or in this case, for the last four years) and link to it, then answer some questions about my writing, purely as a record of my thoughts/an exercise in egotism. It's fun! And it's my tumblr, so I can do what I like. So there.

Overall, my assessment is that I am ENTIRELY predictable, entirely too into older ladies, and entirely too into tiny fandoms. Why can I never dabble in megafandoms where the fics get hundreds of kudos and comments? Even when the fandoms are growing my interests are niche. Ah well! If you're one of the people who left a comment on one of my fics in these or any years, know that I love you (people who left kudos get appreciation, but it's the comments that spur the muse)

Anyway, here's the fic:

25 Jan 2020: not as a lover but a messenger of death - Arc of a Scythe - Curie/both male and female OCs, Curie/Faraday - E - a multi-chaptered exploration of a scythe's relationship to sex and intimacy, re: power imbalance/responsibility/consent

9 July 2021: Tango Americano - The Infinite Bad - M - Cornelia/OMC - Cornelia and Her American are at it again, this time in Montevideo for a night, but this time they get to unpack some trauma with their fun fling.

July 2021 Bonus: Anything - Unpublished gdoc. E. The missing scene from the fade to black in the fic above. Some edging and a previously untold story about the Kama Sutra. Self-indulgent smut with an audience of almost no one, which is why I never posted it on ao3.

16 March 2022: The Fool and The Empress - The Infinite Bad - E - Cornelia/OMC, also feat. Joy - Cornelia's American comes to visit her in London, something he once never imagined doing. It's a nice end to this little series.

26 December 2022: The Death of Scythe Michael Faraday - Arc of a Scythe - Curie/Faraday - T - Scythe Curie helps Scythe Faraday disappear, which is totally not emotionally fraught at all.

17 December 2024: The Arsonist's Guide to Diplomacy - Slow Horses - Diana Taverner/Catherine Standish - E - What happens when ruthless clever bitch meets soft clever bitch?

Bonus: 1 Jan 2025: Her joe - Slow Horses - Diana Taverner/Jackson Lamb - E- When Jackson Lamb goes undercover as someone Not Physically Repulsive, Diana is suddenly very intrigued by him.

That's it! See you at the end of the year, or maybe in 2030! Who can say? Underneath the cut you'll find the silly little meme.

Longest Story Written: not as a lover but a messenger of death (37,188) - no.2 of all time, actually (One Time Thing still has gold) Shortest Story Written: The Death of Scythe Michael Faraday (2574)

My favourite story: Probably 'Tango Americano'. I think it's the best of the 'Cornelia and Her American' series, and it was a lot of fun to have this Repressed British Lady unpack some of her trauma with her tailor-made boyfriend.

My best story:  Ah, this one is hard when I'm actually writing about four years rather than one! I’ve dithered about 'Not as a lover' because I'm still so proud of it and it was such a painstakingly researched labor of love, but fuck it, I’m going to go ahead and say I think ‘Arsonist’ was better. Fuck yes older lady femslash with a convoluted plot, I did a damn good job on you.

Best received story: Not as a lover. It has 133 kudos at time of writing, and a bunch of comments. Multi-chapter fics are always going to win, there, because sometimes people comment on every chapter. It is important to take into account that it HAS been up since 2020, though. My current Yuletide one has 29 kudos and a comment from the recip plus a reader, which I'm sure will increase once I can crosspost it here (I am drafting this while the anon period is still active).

Most fun story: 'Her joe' was LOADS of fun to write. The prompt was fantastic, trying to capture Lamb's voice was loads of fun, the chance to write something so wildly canon-unlikely but that feels so circumstantially possible to me was loads of fun. Yeah, that one.

Hardest story to write: Honestly, I didn't find any of the listed particularly hard to write. The hardest thing in these last few years has been finding time and inspiration to write, so the things that would have been hard probably didn't even begin. BUT (and this is a later edit to add after MULTIPLE changes in the drafts and since posting) have YOU ever tried to render a sound-based pun as written text? Especially with a sound as difficult to capture in text as the way 'jo mama' sounds, but ALSO the second word is different, and also a weirdly pronounced Shakespeare reference? Like I will die on the hill of this joke being GOLD, but I hope people can get it from the context.

“Holy crap, that’s *wrong*, even for you” story: I don't think any of these fics qualify as 'wrong'? The Taverner in 'Arsonist' is a particularly fucked up person though, I suppose.

Story that shifted my own perceptions of the characters:  I guess that's 'Arsonist' too? I mean I definitely STARTED that fic with a silly transparent premise designed to get two women I wanted to kiss trapped in the same room, and then they turned around and said BUT WHAT IF WE PLANNED IT ALL ALONG. And I went with it. So yeah, that one?

Biggest disappointment: I guess my biggest disappointments were related to those Infinite Bad fics. I had such fun writing them, and I did it for me, but the fandom was SO SMALL to begin with, and then it dwindled even more to nothing. BUT you move on. Cornelia Cavendish is basically a permanent resident in my head now, and her American still visits her, and I want to thank the people who were interested and did read, comment and kudos, or told me privately what they thought, even if they didn't know canon at all.

Biggest surprise: That I wrote 'The Death of Scythe Michael Faraday' in 2022, evidenced by the Archive, and not 2023, which was where I'd placed it in my memory. That's another two year dry spell broken, like the one that happened before I found TiB. Thanks, Slow Horses! Also, on that, that apparently what my brain/heart wanted more than anything was to write Slow Horses smut? Idk, but when I wrote my Yuletide sign-up I actually DNWd receiving smut, I think because I hadn't thought about any of the characters in that way at that point. But then something shifted in my brain and really got into the writing of it. Who knows their own heart and mind? Not me, apparently.

Most unintentionally telling story: I am apparently way more into Kristin Scott Thomas than I thought, lol!

Sexiest story: A lot of these are explicit, actually - I am definitely down as a textual pervert, and quite happy to be here! But I think I'll have to go with 'not as a lover', mainly because its entire premise is sex and different permutations of it. Some of the sexiest bits of it aren't even that explicit, really, but that second chapter? Hoo, boy! I definitely wrote *that* before I learned that most of the fandom were teenagers, let me tell you (and I'm glad it exists; the explicit sex was important for the character's journey in that specific chapter)

Favourite summary:

Scythe Curie helps Scythe Faraday disappear, which is totally not emotionally fraught at all.

Probably apparent, since I used it in the post above. I do enjoy when a summary can have a little bit of wry authorial voice in it, which this one definitely does.

Favourite opening line:

It’s summer in London, and a cooling breeze blows through the city.

I'll pick this one because the recip cited it as something she liked, and because it was fun to channel a bit of Mick Herron even though I was writing about the show rather than the books.

Favourite lines from anywhere:

Kissing him was like stealing cookies from the jar

-

They never did drink the champagne.

-

“Have you considered the zoo?”

-

“What about thunder?” he asks. “Have you ever seen a visual depiction of that?” He continues to look at Cornelia, and after a moment, Joy follows his gaze.

“I wouldn’t say it’s the easiest thing to depict,” she answers, with a smile of her own.

“No?” Leo asks. “I’d say it has a certain attention-grabbing intensity.”

-

She kisses him, tame but lingering, and lets these moments be the answer to all they cannot say, cannot do: the way her lips press against his for a beat too long, the way his fingers tighten around her wrist like they want to hold on forever.

-

I can't really pick fave lines from the new ones just yet, but I gotta say, I am SO pleased with myself for the jo'mama/joe'country/country matters pun, I can't even.

Here are my reactions to Bdubs's first Secret Life episode!

EPISODE STARTS WITH ETHUBS GREAT START I'M LOVING THIS ALREADY 👏👏👏

Bdubs really digs his mine ONE BLOCK AWAY FROM ETHO'S 😭😭😭 I'm telling you this man is NOT OKAY

This is like them pissing together except mining 1 block apart from each other (cuz they're not gay)

"You can't even tell your best friend" you mean yourself? "You can't even tell me" yup.

"I really wanna tell you really bad" I'M TELLING YOU THIS IS THE PERFECT START.

LIZZIE IS BACK NOW I ACTUALLY FEEL THE HYPE HELLOOOOO!!!!

Mesa on the map 👀

Bdubs feels so bad about killing horses god bless his pure soul 😭😭

Oh so they can't regenerate AT ALL once they lose their hearts they are GONE. No potions no gapples nothing

YOU CAN GIFT HEARTS??? this is huge

"My boy Bdubs" Etho is also not okay

Bdubs in Last Life gives Etho a shield bc Etho forgets them all the time... This season Etho remembers the shields first and then makes Bdubs one.... And they giggle so sweetly :( I HATE THEM...

And now they're reminiscing about good old times. Great

MUMBO IS ALSO IN IT???? How many people do we have this time?! Is Ren in this one?

They didn't play on 1.18 generation in LimLife where everyone died left and right but they DO play it on the season where you can't regenerate hearts. Awesome decision making

Paused on this bit and just want to say. Team STEM

Aww Mumbo Pearl and Bdubs neighbors? :O :D

That was just three nicknames in a row with no pause in between. Skizz comes in saying "Pearlie-Pop! :D" Pearl goes "Skizzlie!! :D" and Bdubs instantly goes "Hey Skizzie!!!" They are so silly and whimsical

Bdubs: Hey Skizz i have words of affirmation for you

Skizz: That's so last season 🙄

Bdubs: *collects Cleo's wheat* nothing to see here! Just borrowing some stuff! 🥰

Cleo: Oh that's fine , they're not mine, they're Lizzie's :D

Bdubs: OH SHOOT*glues the sugar cane back on*

I see this man has his priorities straight 😭😭

THEY GET OP REWARDS FOR COMPLETING SECRET TASKS???

BDUBS REALLY SUGGESTED HIM MUMBO AND PEARL BE CALLED AXIS THANK GOODNESS CLEO WS THERE

So Bdubs is now sort of in a team with Mumbo and Pearl. The question is though: will be be undyingly loyal to them 🤔

The rock thing with the rewards is so watcher-core you just know the watcher fandom will eat well this season LMAO

Cleo: Hey Bdubs where's your boyfriend?

Bdubs: Etho is...

That's it. I'm done. This season has peaked. I don't even know what to say anymore. I'm quitting. My career is over. I don't have anything else to do or say I'm done.

I CAN'T BELIEVE BDUBS ANSWERED BEFORE FULLY PROCESSING WHAT CLEO SAID. HIS BRAIN JUST WENT "My boyfriend? Oh yeah that's Etho" i actually flat out CANNOT believe it's only the first episode and is already gayer than Last Life 😭😭😭

Riding a camel wearing a helmet (against the rules) holding tnt like a slut he is

I wonder if the admins themselves assign everyone their tasks. Whether that's the case or not, it's VERY ironic that Bdubs, a master builder, gets a task to build the ugliest house known to man and people end up looking at it and going "what a creative idea!" and decide to make it there gimmick as well.

ETHO'S TASK IS TO GET EVERYONE TO SLEEP AT NIGHT?! THAT'S CRUEL MAN i can't wait to hear him whine and whimper about it in his video

Joel wants to build a mound as well? 👀 Bdubs and Joel alliance? 👀

THE MOLES. GREAT

Mumbo's "tell a bunch of puns" and Etho's "get everyone to sleep at once" you can clearly see who is watchers' favorite etc etc

Scar threatens to burn down Jimmy's house againSJJDKDKDKFJJDJ

Skizz: *hears Bdubs's secret* i do that without a task xD

Skizz: we're all pretty old, maybe our island is called Heart Problems 😭😭 he says out of nowhere

Can't believe Tango and Skizz lit up their island and get attacked by 2 baby zombies, a creeper, a witch and a Trident drowned 😭😭😭

[kaeruutv]

Your favorite characters from tma, Hermitcraft, and rtc get into a fight. Who wins and why?

OOOUUUUU!!! NOW that is a question!! Lets see. The lineup will be Tango Tek, Noel Gruber and mm for the sake of some fairness i'll say Jon. (the other option is michael but we all know what would have happened there)

Noel: a 17yo gay boy with no physical strength to speak of

Jon: an old man who works underground in an archive all day

And tango: one of the worst players on the life serires

Now for the fighting:

Realistically noel is running away. Either that or he gets hit once and like falls on rhe ground and cries. Both jon and tango are smart enough to know to target noel first so he is immediately disqualified (rip.)

Now between jon and tango is interesting. Becayse tango is an awful fighter but jon kinda is too. (for ref this would be pre-avater jon, no so "ceaseless watcher"-ing)

Tango and jon are also both on the smaller side, but i think tango would be physically stronger, just being a mechanic type and all. But to win he would have to get some solid hits on jon, which would prove a little difficult.

to their advantage though, tango and jon are both quite slipery people so to say. tango is speedy, and can get out of the way of a hit well, just cant deliver one back well. (Also for the sake of it this is an unarmed fistfight.)

Jon is also very good at not dying, as proved by his many encounters with avatars. HOWEVER, he talks his way out of those encounters, nevers really fights or runs.

So therefore i would make the case that Tango would win that fight! Maybe with a few bruises but could probably get a good enough hit on jon. also tsngo has definitely had the most experience being in fights, having been in the life series and all

ty anon for the question! that was so silly! i love thinking about my goobers getting into fistfights, especially cause i'm a martial artist of about 12 years, so i'd like to say i know a thing or two about fighting.

-

bonus, the blorbos fighting styles!

noel: the only self defense he knows is from mishca teaching him, but unfortunately the type of fighting that would work for a guy like mischa is ineffective when you have no upper body strength. He would be punching reliant, but it wouldn't do much damage. He should utilize his legs more, using sweeps and other similar strikes to get opponents off balence. probably most similar to muay thai

tango: tango fights really fast, most like taekwondo. in out fast, quick whippy strikes and light on the feet. he fights for the opportunity to run. Oh and he would be a fantastic fencer if he fought armed

jon: jon has definitely taken some self defense classes in his time, he is *not* a big dude so he relies heavily on targeting pressure points. He is not afraid to fight dirty, going for the neck or the crotch or whatever. I dont have an exact one to one for his fighting style, it's probably most similar to my art! He does whatever it takes to survive a fight, and that means TALKING IT OUT FIRST! He is very "i win the fight if i prevent the fight from happening." he is definitely also trained weapons defense- like "how to not get stabbed" type stuff!!

wah i am a nerd!
