17th Century Gaydar

With @canisalbus's characters Vasco and his QPR wife Ludovica. Consider this a Headcanon but I imagined they were likely set up as like, teens- maybe not fully arranged marriage, but marriage was heavily implied with their courtship. So here I imagine them as like 15/16 which is why they're kind of smaller and scruffier, as well as having their outfit colors a little lightened. Also Ludovica in cute ear bows moment. I THINK this is my first more or less official online artist fan art??? I hope I did them justice.

*edit forgot to color in Vascos hands consistently my bad **EDIT I CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO POST ART WITHOUT FORGETTING SOMETHING

Hello,

Please feel free to ignore this ask because it may contain sensitive topic to some people. What's your opinion about trans James ? In most fanon works , both art and fics, it is Sirius who usually is headcanoned as one. I have not seen many works with trans James or him being gender fluid , etc . Do you think it is because the way his character is described in the books , which in all honesty is not much or is it because Sirius had been described as really handsome? It doesn't do anything with handsomeness, I know , but the fandom works strangely like that 🙊

well, hello there, friend! so sorry for getting to this so late.

so, my opinion on this is really just my usual for identity hcs--i personally dont care much for them. that's not to say they're bad (i've seen some beautifully done stuff) just that it hits too close to reality for my escapist ass.

i see where you're coming from with the sirius comparison, tho! i think partly it's also because sirius is just...more popular? james is a pretty niche character, i'd say, even within mwpp compared to the others, so just by virtue of numbers, trans james doesnt get so much attention.

(there's a part of me that also thinks its also bc so much of the queerness in fanfiction comes from. wanting representation rather than caring about writing a queer character. and that means there's no deeper engagement than outward aesthetics. which means no real transgression is taking place. so u have repackaged cishetero norms circulating. but what do i know about that)

#i also have more thoughts re like. body types & identity headcanons #and what makes some characters so likely to be hc'd as something vs not others #but i dont think im qualified to say them out loud lol #it'll all be v anecdotal anyway #plus im nowhere near educated enough for it #also like the last bit--thats not me invalidating people who're writing it #i think its great it exists + dont think everything has to always be deep #im the last person to advocate for that tbh #but theres like this line b/w actually caring about something and merely providing lipservice #and i think a lot of ~activism in fandom tends towards the latter #(thats why im not a fan of identity hcs in my work. i know i cant do it justice and it WILL end up being shallow representation lipservice)#(and its just better to...not at that point ykno?)#which means basic norms and conventions are upheld #which is a bit. hm. when queerness is so inherently subversive ykno?#not sure how to explain it lol #but i do think its mainly sirius' popularity for this #the other stuff is just me speculating and thinking too much into random shit #pen’s asks

i dont rp anymore, or really play genshin, but i just want you to know every so often i'll see diluc and think about yours and i hope that you're still doing well and having fun, bc even now remembering pieces of your writing has brought me joy and i hope that you still have that feeling as well, even if its for a new muse now!! as always, i hope ur having a nice day. ♥

oughhhhh thank you for taking the time to send me such a sweet note 🥺 unfortunately yeah i can say with certainty that my diluc brainrot has passed now, but he will always hold that special place in my heart and im really glad to know the fond memories i have with him as my muse are shared by someone else in some way ! i dont really rp anymore either and my commitment to genshin has also significantly decreased these last few months jsdfhdsh but its more sweet than bitter at this point it just means life goes on and we find different - and hopefully better - things to enjoy and sink our time into. i do very much think back on those days fondly though, and i dont think thats going to change 🤍

#save #i think it was about exactly a year ago actually that i went back on that blog #and unprivated all the stuff i had hidden when doing my last attempt at a revamp #i distinctly remember that going through every post one by one like that made me miss it sm #it really was a good time. i really really enjoyed writing all those hcs and speculations and interactions w other muses #but the truth is that even setting aside that i cant stand what tumblr rp culture has become. i simply do not have time for all that anymor #there are too many other things i want to do w my free time now. and thats Good #3-4 years ago rp communities were like my entire social life #and i did not have the money or right headspace to wanna do much outside of the comfort of my home anyway #its an objectively good thing that thats changed even if it means having to set aside a hobby that i really did genuinely enjoy #i hope your moving away from it was for similarly positive reasons !#that all being said i do very much enjoy my current muse eheh #even if i dont rp in the traditional sense anymore + have a more balanced life i dont think i will ever be completely free of hyperfixation #and my current one is keeping me fed Just Right 👌

Just kinda in the mood to post this so like

There’s a lot of rumors and speculations on how Fizz and Oz met and when so I thought I would share my personal theory.

I think when the incident first occurred, Mam freaked the fuck out because he had just signed a contract, had been doing work for him on the side, and made him lots of money. So Mam calls up Oz and asks him for prosthetics for cheap. They were decent quality (especially for the price,) and Oz had written instructions and stuck them to the prosthetics so Mam would see them. Mam, being the lazy ass he is, threw them away and just gave Fizz the prosthetics, with no guidance on how to use them.

Now Fizz was further indebted to Mammon, so he couldn’t really leave. He worked full time for him, and was still paid as much as he needed to get by (decent apartment, food). At some point along this timeline, Mam also had Asmodeus make the Fizz-bots, which lightened the load. But Fizz’s performances became more intense, and further put stress on him.

I do want to note I have a theory that imps with irises (all the time) have chronic anxiety or other problems. Since other imps’ irises only appear when they’re upset in some way, shape, or form. So that would be Barb, Blitzø, and Fizz. Cash didn’t have irises, but Tilla did, and since she was sick and shit, it kinda makes sense.

So with all of this stuff happening to Fizz and around Fizz with no one to help him, he had worsened anxiety. But he kept performing since he felt so indebted to Mammon. Around the four and a quarter year mark, Fizz started to feel some pain where his limbs were attached to his body. So he asked Mammon. Mam, being the asshole he is, said no, obviously, so he just kinda..kept performing through the pain.

Since the pain was persistent enough to get in the way of Fizz’s performances, he kept asking Mammon. Finally, Mam let him go do it so he would shut up about it. So Fizz and Oz finally got to meet in person, and they learned the problem was basically some pretty severe friction burns from not wearing them properly (y’know since Mam threw the instructions away) and so Oz was pissed about Mammon not listening to him (as always) and wanted to call him to give him a piece of his mind.

Fizz stops him, saying it’s a bad idea, and that Fizz will get in more trouble, so he doesn’t call Mam.

Then Fizz leaves, and Oz goes back to work, but not without texting Bee asking if they can meet up (if you don’t hc Bee and Ozzie as friends we can’t be friends/j) sometime soon. Bee is obviously like totes dude and a few days later, they meet up.

Oz asked to hang out to consult Bee on the fact he kinda had a crush on Fizz, Bee is super excited (duh) and is like tell me everything they talk more and come to the conclusion Oz has a genuine crush, and him and Fizz should talk more.

Oz doesn’t want to be awkward and text Fizz just to talk, but lucky for him, a few weeks later, Fizz applies for a job application at Ozzie’s, cause he wants to be able to afford some luxuries, and for that he needs more money, and Mammons not gonna give him a pay raise. Since Fizz actually is a really good fit for the job, he gets it.

Anyway the pair get really close both business wise and friend wise, and Fizz does more shifts at Ozzie’s. Mam isn’t actually that mad since he has the Fizz-Bots to perform, advertise and sell.

At some point near the five year mark, the pair kiss, and while both sides enjoy it, it keeps both of them up late. So the next day after Ozzie’s closes they talk it out and end up accidentally confessing their feeling to each other.

So yeah that’s first meeting, how they got together, and why they got to know each other. I am writing a fanfic about this in more detail, and this is probably not the last time I mention this theory, so stay tuned!

Ps thanks for reading this long ass rant lol

Ok ok, but now is turn for the grimwalker HCs!! Give us the creature👀

!!!!! BET

once a grimwalker is "formed" they simply turn mostly organic, just like how palismen are live animals instead of wood (when activated). so even though the ingredients are still THERE technically, they appear as just like... normal stuff, so grimwalkers are mostly biologically the species that their ortet was, almost indistinguishable (hair is hair, skin is skin, there's blood flow despite there not initially being a heart, the galdorstone is there but it functions very similarly to a heart, etc etc) and yet sometimes the original ingredients' features somehow still "show up" in unique-to-grimwalkers ways. ㅤ

i imagine grimwalkers used to be like a more popular/frequent occurence in ancient demon realm. the process of creating a grimwalker was like a sacred magic ritual, only allowed in special cases (like maybe if a witch lost a child early and wasn't able to have another one, sth of the sort) so it was still very rare even back then and would have to be approved of by most of the community. however, then the tradition died off as ingredients started becoming more scarce, and most of knowledge about it was eventually lost to time. nowadays, grimwalkers are considered to be an extinct species as well as an urban legend/myth by boiling isles habitants, like a "supposedly extinct but there's no certainty if they ever even actually existed" situation (without taking hunter and his possibly-openly-a-grimwalker-in-the-future thing into account just yet). the books we saw hunter read in labyrinth runners have some right information but also lots of misinformation in them, since they're far removed from the direct source, based on only tidbits of actual info, and have been written by witches/demons, with no grimwalkers consulted (obviously); lots of it is speculation, and lots of it is wrong. (i imagine the only actual, entirely truthful info is in those scrolls and books we saw in belos' grimwalker lab, but even that isn't fully complete; and belos wouldn't have wanted to share it with the public anyway, for obvious reasons) additionally, i feel like grimwalkers have a sort of cryptid-like reputation in the boiling isles' pop culture. there are stories made up about them. there are teens making pink-eyed grimwalker ocs on the demon realm equivalent of deviantart and making up things like "grimwalkers can shoot lasers out of their eyes" or "they can raise the dead with their thoughts" LMAO. hunter gets a headache when he discovers all that. ㅤ

grimwalkers are semi-immune to boiling water. the selkidomus scales give them a lot of immunity so boiling water is not actually lethal to them but still, being exposed to boiling rain for a long while or full-on diving into the boiling sea may hurt a bit and prolonged contact with boiling water may leave them with blisters/burns. ㅤ

when grimwalkers' skin is wet for a long time, it gets somewhat scaley ??? scales-resembling texture ?? instead of just being pruney/wrinkled. when dry, their fingertips have a sort of wood-rings-y look. ㅤ

grimwalkers' hair naturally grows incredibly fast, but especially when they spend lots of time in the sun. plant magic may also affect its growth positively. ㅤ

grimwalkers' eyes are reflective and can glow/shine in the dark. ㅤ

when it comes to human-based grimwalkers (the golden guards), sometimes their ears would turn out rounder and human-looking, sometimes they'd look pointier but still not fully witch-like. belos preferred them to be round cuz obviously he preferred "caleb" to be human-looking, but with time he started modifying some grimwalkers' naturally round ears to be pointier just so that they could blend in easier and so they'd believe that they're witches too. he'd "mold" their ears during early creation or sometimes modify/cut them after, like he did his. (hunter's ears are naturally pointy and generally look like a witch's ears but, upon closer inspection, the details of his ears differ from a normal witch's ears juuuust slightly) (ears of the grimwalker that we saw in ftf were fully round because belos was counting on this one to be the golden guard post-day of unity, seemingly brought up as human and in the human realm) ㅤ

just like stonesleepers, grimwalkers often have a slightly sensitive spot behind their ears. ㅤㅤㅤ

palismen can somewhat sense that grimwalkers are also made of palistrom wood so they naturally cling to them more (big win for mr palisman enthusiast/carver hunter owlhouse!) ㅤㅤ

again, when it comes to specifically caleb-based/the golden guard grimwalkers, i can imagine that belos' first attempts were....... FAR from perfect. since i imagine he got all the information from different incomplete ancient scrolls, there were many things he had to come up with and re-discover himself. the very first grimwalkers he made probably didn't even survive for longer than a few minutes/hours. and when they did survive, i feel like the ingredients used were much more distinguishable at first too, not fully transformed into their organic counterparts; like for example some grimwalkers had more selkidomus-like or stonesleeper-like features, or were visibly wooden in some places, etc etc. i feel like belos didn't succeed in making a fully functional, stable and human/witch-looking grimwalker until he met the collector, and then did so thanks to their help. ㅤ

grimwalkers are already "harvestable" at early infancy and that's when you're "supposed" to unbury them, but they can technically emerge at any age (they just have to stay underground and age for the amount of time). i feel like there were also times when belos tried to speed up the process and age his grimwalkers up faster so that they'd be of use to him quicker, but that would also often result in the grimwalkers being unstable; so not really a good idea. (i envision that hunter was probably one of the youngest- if not the youngest- grimwalker belos had ever made, and that's also why he had high hopes for him lasting longer than the others; because he manipulated him since early childhood, starting in his most pivotal developmental years) ㅤ

i like to believe that the reason why flapjack was able to save hunter in thanks to them was because hunter's a grimwalker. if hunter had been a normal witch or a human, i don't think flapjack could do anything to help. (something abt the thing that hunter was ashamed of and hated abt himself ending up being the exact thing that makes saving him possible... you know?) ㅤ

for specifically caleb-based grimwalkers, i imagine that since they're mostly human in biology, they might also have issues with eating some particular demon realm food. not as much as luz of course, since they're not completely human + after years of living in the demon realm and basically eating ONLY demon realm food i can imagine your stomach would get mostly used to it, acclimated and all, but it probably still could result in some problems and discomfort. ㅤ

because of their stonesleeper lungs, grimwalkers are usually pretty still and motionless sleepers. they breathe very slowly when sleeping. ㅤ

you can't make a grimwalker out of a grimwalker. you can try, but the magic simply won't work correctly.

#i'm normal abt grimwalker lore...... GRHRGRRR i feel like i have so many more hcs that i'm forgetting rn #my toh talk #hunter toh #grimwalker #hunter #nicole answers #Anonymous

I don't know if it's a good time, but I wanna share some things I've found about Franklin, they're so interesting and overall chill like him.

Disclaimer: These are official! You can search more at gta.fandom.com, also in little missions, voice clips, and also in hangouts Franklin can have with different characters.

1. He sleeps 8 hours a day:

According to a little observation, when you save the game by putting the characters to sleep it also advances their time, for each character there is a certain sleep cycle. Michael sleeps 6 hours, which is little, Trevor being Trevor puts him to a 12-hour sleep, which sounds good, but it's too much, finally, Franklin sleeps 8 hours, which is necessary.

2. He (maybe) is musical:

There is not so much detail about this, but if we analyze his room (in both houses) he has a guitar, mixer, radio, speaker, and more (there's A LOT of music-related stuff in his room in his and Aunt Denise's house).

Here:

2. He has three favorite radio stations:

These are Radio Los Santos, West Coast Classics, and The Lab, each one ofc has their genre:

Radio LS:

Genre: Contemporary Hip-Hop.

Styles:

Alternative Hip-Hop

Cloud Rap

Conscious Hip-Hop

Contemporary Hip-Hop

Dirty Rap

Drill

Gangsta Rap

Mumble Rap

R&B

Trap

West Coast Classic:

Genre: Classic Hip-Hop

Styles:

Old School Hip-Hop

West Coast Hip-Hop

East Coast Hip-Hop

Southern Hip-Hop

Alternative Hip-Hop

Comedy Hip-Hop

Conscious Hip-Hop

Political Hip-Hop

Gangsta Rap

R&B

Horrorcore

G-Funk

Golden Age Hip-Hop

Hardcore Hip-Hop

The Lab:

Genre: Hip-Hop

Styles:

Electronica

Rock

Synth-Pop

Dancehall

R&B

Gangsta Rap

Pop Rap

3. He may be a Christian?

In the second mission, Franklin got with Michael, this one says sarcastically a vesicle from the Bible "It's a foolish man who builds his house in sand, baby" to which Franklin answers "I don't think my boy Matthew was thinking trucks when he wrote that shit."

4. He's the only one who uses lockpins:

When you take or steal cars with Trevor or Michael, it will always result in a broken window, but with Franklin, this doesn't happen since he uses lockpins.

5. He may like the sky view (Not official, just a thought):

This is just a speculation of different pictures you see in Franklin's page in gta.fandom.com, some of those are Franklin admiring the sky (especially at night) and the city in his Vinewood mansion, but honestly, who wouldn't?

Edit: He does, in one of his switch scenes you can see him using the telescope of his mansion.

6. (NSFW!) He (Probably) lost his virginity to Tonya at 13 years old:

Yeah, strong right? When you hear these two speaking to each other in little missions with Tonya, she revels that she and Franklin had, yk a moment, in the back of Burger Shot, however, Franklin denies it and says they didn't do anything serious.

7. He cannot play tennis:

You can play tennis with Michael, Trevor's a fan of it, and there's no reason behind of why Franklin can't play tennis (This can be used for like headcanon idk why).

8. Both him and Michael are know to smoke cigarettes:

At Franklin's mansion, you seem to find lots of ashtrays along with Redwood cigarettes scattered on tables.

9. His email address:

His e-mail address is [email protected] (I hc than he likes being called Frankie, idk why).

10. He exists:

Not irl, but the fandom (not all of them) tends to forget him, and it's very sad, he's so cool and precious.

11. He seems to be more compassionate towards animals:

For this one, I'll use the information straight from the gta.fandom.com page, since it's better and more detailed.

"Of the three protagonists, Franklin appears to have the most compassion for animals, possibly because he is the only main character to have a pet. When he runs over a wild animal, he usually responds with compassionate quotes, such as: "Sorry, little dude!" or "Watch out, little dude!" whereas Michael usually responds with sarcasm and Trevor with dark humor."

Anyway, that's all from my part, I'll try to post more content abt him and Lamar, I think they're such interesting characters, wish there was more content abt both of them.

Tysm for reading, bye :)

if you're comfortable, i would love to know more about the akechi npd headcanon. i think it's a rlly interesting take on his character and i wanna learn more abt npd bc i have bpd and ig im interested in what people experience with the other cluster b personality disorders? i just kinda wanna know why you think he has it and also maybe some of the mental stuff he has to experience with it. doesn't have to be detailed or personal i dont wanna make u uncomfy! i just cant stop thinking abt this hc haha :)

im actually on a mental health break right now, but this ask intrigued me so im answering it anyway. first off thank you for staying kind throughout the whole thing :)

its kind of hard for me to really describe why i think a character has/is something, because things like personality disorders are still a wide spectrum and every person experiences things differently, and i dont wanna make it seem like theres a one-way to have npd, but im gonna try anyway!

there is a site which helped me immensely throughout my self-diagnosis, so if you want to read more about the topic than what im gonna say here, here u go:

lets start simple and the thing that makes it most obvious to me: the engine room dialogue.

people with npd can heavily rely on other people for their self-esteem, because narcissists usually have a very low one. thats why they take on many tasks ("i was extremely particular about my life, my grades, my public image—so someone would want me around!") and might overwork themselves for more praise and acknowledgement ("you wanted to be acknowledged, didn't you? to be loved?") because its what they need to not constantly crash. a crash is something that happens when you dont get enough supply—which can be words of affection, praise, acknowledgement, etc—and you internalize it, doubt yourself, feel disgusting and generally you get to a really low point. this is just speculation, but i can see goro having a ton of those, especially during the time the phantom thieves get popular and he becomes public enemy nr 1. thats also why i drew him thinking "i really need supply rn but i'd rather die than ask for attention" because vulnerability is also a big thing people with npd can struggle with. we dont want to be seen as weak—our narcissism is essentially a shield, so we're seen as tough, when in reality, our egos can be very fragile.

one thing that the engine room makes very clear and also other interactions goro has with akira, is that hes very envious of others who have had it better than him. especially someone like akira, who was thrown away by society just like he was, was able to move past it, found friends and is acknowledged by many people. goro is jealous of it all, and thats the thing; people with npd can feel like they're supposed to be special ( and to me, with goro explaining how he got his personas, and how he often calls others stupid, its clear that he does feel that way about himself to a certain degree ) and anyone who threatens that status, anyone who seems much more special than we are is seen as a legitimate threat. its an ugly feeling and it can make us hate even those we love for some time.

this attributes to dysregulation of our emotions too. people with npd often feel their emotions, especially negative ones, way more intense than they actually should be and have difficulty calming down due to that. negative emotions often linger for a long period of time and its hard to move on so we hold grudges. now this might come to no surprise to anyone that goro is a very angry and sad person. especially in the engine room its clear that even after the others extend their hands out to him, its difficult for him to comprehend and he still acts rather mean and calls them idiots for trying to "save" him. when someone with npd is experiencing a multitude of negative emotions, it may cause them to avoid other people or act aggressive towards them because they feel trapped. theres many explanations as to why goro is the way he is in the 3rd semester, and i dont think only one of them has to be correct, but i do think that with the knowledge of whats happening ( like: being under the control of someone else again, or having to work with people who are unpredictable and who have seen you at your lowest point ) makes him act out to keep all of them, especially akira, at bay.

in the duel against akira—im sorry i cant really quote it, i just have a general idea of it in my head rn—i read what he says in a way that makes it clear that he struggles with a superiority AND inferiority complex, which sounds stupid at first i know, but its fairly easy to explain. like i already said, a narcissist's self-esteem is usually pretty low and we rely on others to know how to feel about ourselves. theres two traits of npd that are necessary traits to have: being self-centered and feeling entitled to good treatment, and seeking admiration from others/liking to be the center of attention. so there is some kind of superiority complex going on, at least thats what i would call it in goro's ( and my ) case. we can feel on top of the world in one moment, but once we have a crash or experience intense negative emotions, its back to being the worst human being on earth. i dont think its ooc to say that goro hates himself, as some like to claim he only ever thinks hes better than everyone else. i think that just attributes to harmful stigma. with everything goro experiences in life, coping with narcissism to hide a fragile sense of being just makes sense to me.

theres more i could probably add here but this thing is long enough as is. please do keep in mind that many of my headcanons for goro are me projecting—but that doesnt mean theres no basis for it in canon as well, as i've tried to explain here. at first i actually thought he could have bpd, but i dont know enough about it to really judge that—so it could still very well be that, or both, i dont really know how it works! im rather new to this as well, and at first i was scared of doing any research because npd is so heavily stigmatized. i wish there were more people like you, anon.

if you have any more questions feel free to ask them :)

a theory and some hcs i have on rocket anything after screenshots is what i speculate about him would've posted this sooner like on his birthday but i got nervous on how people would see this but oh well fuck it we ball tw for self-destructive behaviors, addiction, mentions of violence and ptsd!!! stay safe all ❤️ (copy and pasted from a friend's dms)

"me and another person did a long analysis on rocket since it's his birthday tomorrow and RAHHHH

it gave me a whole new perspective on who he might actually b

so rocket (he's 22) as you can see from his dialogue is very into fighting and will even sneak away from his dad zuka (who has been retired from fighting because he went into a big accident that costed him his right arm) so he can go off and fight

from the looks of it, he's one of the phighters who flame out more easily and he has a much shorter temper than the others

it's confirmed that he doesn't like t hang out with the people in playground (i'll mention why later)

some of what he says suggests that he doesn't actually care about whether he hurts himself in battle and that he jokes about his trauma (i'll get into depth about this too)"

(medkit dialogue)

(there's a little more dialogue with sword assisting but the wiki hasn't been updated)

"so he came from playground, a place full of energetic and extroverted demons but a specific group of demons went up on him and that resulted in his arm and leg blowing right off, hence his prosthetics zuka found him and adopted him before he himself went into an accident where his right arm blew off (so he can somewhat relate, however rocket started after his accident and zuka stopped after his)"

"from what happened with him when he was young, i wouldn't b surprised if he was still genuinely traumatized or isn't able t properly process what happened t him considering that healthcare is already low, so anything like therapists is out of the question as well"

theory time!!

"he can get a lot more easily agitated or aggressive than other demons which is deadass a sign of ptsd

he likely has flashbacks of that day (who wouldn't thas traumatizing as fuck)

he ALSO likely can't handle the stress he hasn't processed + the stress he has now because of how short his temper seems t b

he also makes lots of jokes poking around his limb being legitimately blown off which is something many people do t cope with stuff, which does involve shit like abuse or stuff like that

the reason why he might b into fighting so much is likely because he's used it as an outlet of the anger and stress that he could never get out otherwise

it's likely gotten t the point where it's an unhealthy addiction + a way of self harm for himself

the way he's so secretive about getting caught by zuka and that he asks other phighters not t tell his dad about it makes me think that he KNOWS the risk of fighting but does it anyway (which is a sign of addiction)

also, zuka found rocket while experiencing the same thing, so he full on knows the consequences of fighting and he knows why zuka is so persistent in not letting him fight, yet he does anyway and he goes out of his way t LIE t zuka on whether he went out fighting or not

the way he jus doesn't like the playground kids even when they very well may not b the ones that harmed him is a sign that he hasn't fully healed from what happened with him, that he still hasn't processed his accident

the amount of recklessness he shows for himself is very prominent, as he's too stubborn and too focused in fighting t even care that he's slowly killing himself

he has all the warnings, but he's addicted t how this is the only way he can feel better and that this is the only way he can even remotely cope with his childhood

whether he knos this or not, he's on the road of slowly killing himself if he keeps exerting himself like this" (bonus hc)

"honestly i thought that his trauma was so fucking severe that there's no way that he hasn't been affected, then when i saw that he was into fighting t the point where he will ignore zuka's reprimands despite knowing the harm that will happen i jus kinda thought that fighting was how he was coping this entire time

a friend said that this might b his norm or that he sees this as normal behavior and i agree!! because he was exposed t violence and the debilitating shit he went through when he was young + zuka found him before he retired so he more likely than not taught rocket his ways it's clear that rocket still does admire zuka because he carves his horns t look jus like his but he might even miss how approving zuka was of him for doing what he knows best before" side stuff: i mention his age t prove that he isn't doing this t b a rebellious kid since he's too old for that what i mean by "rocket started after his accident and zuka stopped after his" is by them fighting i'm aware that other phighters like banhammer and shuriken have shorter tempers too but they're also more aggressive demons when it comes t killing so my point still stands you could say that he isn't joking when he mentions his limbs getting blown off and thas fair!!! but the way he casually mentions that horrific event on a whim reminds us of how we did something similar with our trauma (don't ask, also yes most of it has been processed relatively healthily nowadays, we're ok rn) - if it isn't tru, then it also brings up another point that he might b completely desensitized t what happened with him + how he may not see the severity of the incident (we've done this too) - it further proves that he sees violence as something thas normal from how overly exposed he was t it (this was us a couple years back) and how his potential addiction is even more suggested

p.s.: keep in mind that these are all hcs and that i in no way think that i kno rocket more than the people who made him!!! i wanted t see him more than jus a silly guy who blows up stuff and i hope this is somewhat accurate t his character :,D 2/5/24 EDIT: i actually have no idea on whether zuka lost his limbs before or after he met rocket, i thought i read that he lost them after adopting rocket but iiiii can't remember if it was the opposite or not it doesn't affect my argument too much but i jus wanted t point that out also rocket says, "Dad's been helping me with my aim!" which i can't tell if he's being deadass or not but if thas so then AHEM? HEY?

Wanna share my take on the lore that was revealed in the Ultrakill ARG

Like,, at first, when I saw that Hell is A Living, Thinking Thing Actually, I was like "aaah scary evil mastermind, noo"

But then, after thinking some more (though some media that I've consumed recently might have influenced me) I came to a different conclusion: hell is baby. evil but baby

I mean, just think about it

God creates Hell

Hell gains sentience

And then what it sees? Eternal torment

And the human expeditions probably aren't better, cause humans probably only thought about what use Hell is for them; and also probably violence was more common after humans and machines came to Hell cause demons and husks attack them on sight in most cases and then they had to protect themselves and stuff

And children generally can be cruel unless they're taught what is wrong, bored children especially so, and in hell's case it's even worse

And all Hell has ever saw and could learn from was violence and other amoral stuff

So in the end we have Hell, a bored, cruel, likely powerfull toddler, basically

Machines at least had their programming (for better or for worse), which might have limited their violence to some extent (or in some hcs still does), and yet they still had a hand in killing off humanity. Hell either doesn't have any "programming", or if it does, it's probably smth among the lines of "torment sinners", as that's the purpose with which God created it. And obviously this doesn't make Hell any less likely to be violent and amoral

Anyway, I'm not good with words and this sounded better in my head, but that's it

YEA let's talk about hell theories!!! (i get pretty speculative, BUT this is such an interesting topic!!!)

your idea is a really interesting take on what might be going on with hell, and in a similar vein i very much enjoy that while hell may be orchestrating a lot of what's happening, it's quite difficult to say if it's truly at fault in this scenario. because like you said, hell is made for one purpose and hell knows nothing else beyond that purpose. it was made as a place of eternal torment and i'm kind of half wondering if hell is like. lucifer prime, should that exist for angels. that he was killed in his fall and transformed into hell upon his death, spawning into being hateful of what had been done to him but still under god's directive to be the source of eternal damnation. WHICH IS PROBABLY WRONG BUT i think no matter what, hell was conceived to carry out damnation and that was an entirely new concept upon its creation, nothing had ever been made before to be strictly evil and cruel. and it was left to fester, denied god's light and left on its own but still with a job to carry out. and not to relate EVERYTHING to inhnmaims, but it's very reminiscent of am in this regard - relegated underground, trained only on violence and torture, and then left to rot on its own with no other input. what else would it become but something that wants to devour all, that needs more and more grotesque entertainment in its wretched existence?

to me, the machines made by humans and the hell made by god parallel each other a lot - they are created in hubris, in a sense of complete control on the part of their makers, and yet look at what they are. the machines are powered by blood, possibly made so due to wartime needs; hell is a place filled by design with unfathomable horrors. and i think both of these decisions were far from rational choices, but instead the creators acting in fear and anger, on pure emotion. and they both created something they could not undo. the machines are blood hungry, they don't care about the new peace; hell exists only to satisfy a need for punishment, for revenge, for torture. and the terminals get bored. and hell gets bored. and now both creators have a massive, sentient network on their hands that is no longer taking their orders because they've been too far away from it for too long. i am REALLY starting to think the terminals absolutely had something to do with humanity's fall, locked up in hell and forgotten just as hell itself is. they are abandoned and uncared for, but still they think, still they live, still they want to do what they are designed to do. perhaps they were twisted by hell, perhaps they weren't at all, but these two beings are operating in sync at this point imo and no one is left at the wheel. no humans. no god. no creators, only beings like machines, angels, and hell itself that can only run on their programming and protocols. in that sense, ultrakill is a bleakly empty and directionless world, everything that's left something that was only ever meant to be...automated. the mechanisms run forever on, into destruction, into extremes, with what they were designed for disappearing in the rearview mirror. the prime souls are kind of the only thing left that has a true sense of autonomy, and they're being slaughtered by v1's directives as well.

GOT A LITTLE CARRIED AWAY...but i totally agree that hell isn't necessarily a mastermind, just another being that is, in a way, doing the only thing it knows to do. i do wonder if there's really any goal to it, or if it just wants the show to last as long as possible. does it know its resources are finite, does it want to survive or is it finding something to kill it when god couldn't? does none of that factor into it and hell truly is just bored, it doesn't care about the outcome nor does it care to speculate about it or even consider it. whatever the case i'm interested to see how it turns out, especially because this lore is answering literally all of the mechanics on how the game works in a satisfying way...which is just such neat worldbuilding!!

#genuinely i LOVE when mechanics are incorporated into the canon of a piece of media #and it seems like this game is interested in giving reasons for all of it which is just. so cool imo #esp since it's being handled well and nothing has been clumsy about the explanations #they all work with the universe and are organic to it #they add to it and flesh it out so like!!! it's very good to me aha #cake answers

Making a song I like fit c!Tommy's exile arc: An Analysis (It's gonna be a long one lol)

c!Tommy always had a hard time getting words out when he got anxious. That part's self-explanatory. I'm more interested in the next line. Dandruff is annoying, something to get rid of, something to cure yourself of. That's what c!Dream saw c!Tommy as, and maybe what c!Tommy starting seeing himself as when he was kicked out from Lmanberg by Tubbo. He was being scrubbed out by his best friend along with his enemy.

This part is where c!Dream's manipulation started to take hold. Weeds, generally being unwanted, can represent bad or unusual thoughts, or thoughts that have been planted (ha!) unwillingly. c!Tommy became unsure, confused, and generally distressed in exile. His mind became covered in a blanket of poison ivy and bittersweet berries. And the stalker thing. c!Dream always painted himself as c!Tommy's friend, even when c!Tommy knew something was off or wrong about their "friendship." But he still struggled to compute that c!Dream was fully dangerous to him.

This next part..... I may stretch a little bit lol. Cheekface has got some nonsensical lyrics (which I love), but Imma dig a bit deep than face value to try and get the meaning I want out of it. Dropping buttered bread on the buttered side, or not having a place to put your phone before a surgery, are both things you don't really expect to happen until it does. Then it's obvious. The buttered side is heavier, so obviously it's going to fall on that side. Exile was set up to punish c!Tommy, so obviously c!Dream was going to make c!Tommy miserable. But every time his stuff was blown up, or his cow was slaughtered, or his party was ruined, c!Tommy slowly started to brush things off. He started to see it as normal, nothing to truly push back against. There's the initial shock and fight, but it was bound to happen anyways, right? He knew deep down it was coming. It was in the nature of the environment.

These lyrics... THESE are the ones that've been stuck in my head for days. c!Tommy might not have seen himself as someone who needed to change (at least in the exile arc), but c!Dream sure did. He saw someone who could be molded, chipped away at. c!Dream wasn't looking for any good, really. He was looking to destroy. To get rid of all that shiny, bright, marble and leave behind a pile of dust. Maybe it didn't start out like that. But after hammering away at c!Tommy's personality for so long, he stopped with the careful chiseling, and went right for the wild swinging. Maybe subconsciously c!Tommy let that happen. To see if he could be "fixed" so he could return to New Lmanberg. So c!Tubbo would accept him back easier. (this last part is all speculation tho and I can't remember if anything hinted to that, just a hc I guess!

#ctommy #dsmp #ctubbo #Not tagging dream because fuck that guy #I literally couldn't get this idea out of my head #for weeks #even tho it's cringe and totally self indulgent #I think I deserve a little treat #I recommend “Listen to Your Heart.” “No.” by Cheekface if you want a similar message #Or No Connection by Cheekface if you want something more aligned with c!Tubbo

I love the fact both canonically and in your writing style Copia is just this skrunkly old man with near debilitating anxiety, stomach issues, and for all his social shortcomings he still manages to have bit of a petulantly childish attitude lmao. Not to mention absolute net 0 rizz and despite all that, we all collectively just thought 'yep, i need that disaster man inside of me asap.'

So now let me raise you this lil hc that's been bouncing around in my think tank and the way i like to write him.

I see his preferred sin as less lust and more greed.

It's pretty prevalent in his day to day life, both pre and post ascension, he has a wicked sweet tooth, he likes pushing limits to see how much of something he can have and still get away with, he likes nice things, shiny things, ffs the man showed up with a bedazzled grucifix off rip, all those precious gems on his mitre, the fact that he has two (2) variants of regalia.

And I definitely see it shining through in his sex skills (or the initial lack there of tcac wise) He may take a little time getting used to reader's attention and definitely needs time to process the fact that she's genuinely into him and more than ready and willing to get down and dirty, but what the man lacks in experience, he makes up for in determination and near freakishly keen observation skills.

Hey, the man's a quick learner! And as soon as he figures out exactly what he likes and more so what he can do to get the right reactions out of reader, it's top priority info that's immediately stored away and saved for later. He's greedy about it in the sense that he's definitely gonna get his, but by all things unholy he's gonna get hers too. Multiple times over, because he WANTS it. He wants her coming back to him, for him, because of him again and again and again. He greedily wants her begging him to have her in any way he can have her. And what he wants, best believe he gets.

anyways that's enough of that, hope you enjoyed your weekend away! back to the void with me lol

- 🍍

MY SWEET PINEAPPLE ANON IM TACKLING YOU 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

FUCK I LOVE THIS AAAAH I LOVE WHEN PEOPLE LIKE SPECULATE ABOUT TCAC AND MAKE IT ALL DEEP AND STUFF!! As a writer that’s just such a huge compliment!!

First of all yes I love rizzless Copia lmaoo 😂 I absolutely LOVE a dominant Copia too but when he’s all awkward he’s just so cute and fuckable

And about the greed! I DEFINITELY see that! Like, it’s honestly true. You can tell Copia likes the finer things in life, and I love that about him.

In tcac Copia is STARVED for love, attention, and affection. Starvation causes greed. Once he gets a taste, it’ll be like crack to him. Sure it’ll take some time for him to overcome his terrible self esteem issues and get used to the idea of Reader actually liking him, but he’ll be thinking of her attention NONSTOP. Constantly craving it. He’ll be addicted to the way she makes him feel but as you said, also the way HE can make HER feel.

He’ll be addicted to that look in her eyes, the one that lets him know she truly only has eyes for him. He’ll be addicted to the way she screams his name, to the way she whispers her desperation into his ear. He’ll be addicted to the feeling of her little hands grasping the fabric of his cassock and pulling him into the nearest secluded area so she can demand his cock.

And he definitely has the best observation skills, especially when it comes to Reader’s pleasure! Copia is so greedy for her praise. The way she’ll cry and tell him how incredible his cock feels inside her. The way she tells him how good he’s doing for her. After being insulted and ignored all his life, the praise alone is enough to make him cum

And thank you so much! I had a marvellous time! But I’m happy to be back in the horny void lmaoo 😂

Now, I know you said you were done with this, but I hope this isn't too related to the earhorn controversy. Really, it just inspired me!

I was just thinking... Do you reckon Magolor's... Protrusions have any biological purpose?

Like, I think it's because I work with gijinkas primarily, but I needed to see them as separate to where his ears would be! So i wanted to give them like... A proper use, if that makes sense? Which eventually combined with my standard design headcanons. So they're sensory organs!

But not the normal five senses: Those thingies can sense magic! Like if a spell has been cast recently, or if a person is hidden nearby... Or perhaps to sense the natural magical ambience... In a rhythm, of sorts? This is just me trying to include "Mags can hear the bg music" in here somewhere °~°

And if not sensory, maybe physically? Like, self-defence? They don't look very useful as a weapon, but you never know! Or maybe magic stores.... To help their existing defences?

I know it's kind of niche and silly, but I was just curious on your thoughts! And it's okay if you don't have any, I'd totally get it! And... I kinda wanted to share this somewhere, anywhere... Sorry ^^;

~G

(After asking politely to live in peace with my horn HC, hopefully I can finally answer this ask! )

Anyway, yes! Potential functions!

I recently uploaded a bit of my fan comic lore where for my Halcandrans, the horns/protrusions assist in conveying emotion. (la la la vaguely inspired by Macross Frontier la la la) That may have developed over the millennia to become more and more expressive as my Halcandrans also mask their faces for cultural reasons. You lose one form of expressing yourself (the mouth) and get better at using another.

I see his protrusions as the same thing that grow to such lengths when he puts on the Master Crown (visually, the fabric is similar, what with the gold rings) it would be PRETTY weird if it made his ears grow big! But on the note of them being "sixth sense" sensory organs, I also really like the idea that they are, in some way, a separate organ for magic.

I mean, if they were for either sensing, storing, detecting, or processing magic, it would make sense why they grow in size when he puts the "limitless power" Master Crown on, and why they grow to almost outsize his head after the crown goes berserk. He's "burdened" with magic at this point.

"Magolor can hear the bg music"

OMG, I love this?!

And no, you're not niche and silly at all! This stuff is generally fun to speculate on. Especially when designing gijinka!

(Again, don't want to start up the debate, but there are still plenty of fans that see them as horns/ツノ or some kind of non-ear protrusion, even after the Epilogue revealed them. In fact, a popular theory after they were first shown is that Magolor might be the same species as the N-Z from Crystal Shards! It's up to you whether you see N-Z as having horns or ears, but I did see tweets saying "He has the same horns as the N-Z do!" So, for some, it remains up to interpretation.)

#Kirby #Magolor #N-Z #I'm a little surprised the 'Magolor religious symbolism crowd'...#...hasn't latched onto him possibly having 'horns' more #Feels like that'd go great with the Judas/Garden of Eden stuff #Him having 'devil's horns' etc etc

I know you like sauske and would probably like the boy to have some friends that actually understand why he's doing what he does(not to say that naruto hasn't tried.) So which people from the konoha 11 do you think were the closest to leaving the village and possibly joining Sauske- Signed space anon

Okay, I've been struggling to this of how to answer this, so I'm just gonna try my best here.

I do think that sasuke needed some friends that treated him like and actual, normal human being. I don't think he could have found that in konoha.

Everyone he interacts with in konoha interacts with him because of konoha and that's why I don't believe it works. Team 7 was put together by konoha, they were made to be friends by the leaf village, and there is absolutely no way they would let sasuke interact with someone who shares his views and morals if they go against the leaf village. I know saying that doesn't make sense because, "but he wasn't against the village at that time, and they didn't think he had anything against them" but the leaf village knew that if sasuke found out why his brother carried out genocide and stuff he would probably be instantly against the village, so they needed him to be around people who would drag him back to the village if necessary. I think that that's one of the reasons he was put on a team with the most persistent and obsessive academy graduates, because they would always try and drag him back and make sure he was a useful tool and not a threat. I would say that when they sort the genin teams, they definitely look at personality as well.

A bunch of that was 'i thinks' and hc's and stuff, but being serious I'm actually gonna try and answer the question now.

The thing about this ask is that I don't know if any one of the konoha 11 could have been friends with sasuke. Why? All of them graduated the academy, all of them loyal konoha ninja. They've had years of exposure to the whole "glorifying konoha" thing, and have all been brainwashed into being good tools for the state. None of them would dare go against konoha in any way, shape or form.

With all that taken into account, my first thought was neji, he would (probably) understand why sasuke did the things he did (though this is entirely an opinion and basically just speculation, so I can only say probably). The thing is, I don't think he would ever leave the village or join sasuke, as he is fatalistic in nature (until he gets tnj'd by naruto, supposedly) and would never even think it possible to leave the village and choose to change things. I love neji, but he was also a konoha shinobi and would never even have the opportunity or the hope that he could even leave the village and his clan behind. If he did, he would be killed instantly anyways by the cursed seal. So I can't say he would join sasuke and leave the village, or that they would be friends but I can say there is a possibility for them to become friends.

Going against what I just said, neji is shown to be constantly trying to fight what he believes to be his destiny (was he wrong though about it being his destiny? he did die for his slaveowner in the end) so he does have some hope that he can change something. Still, all of this speculation is on the basis that he would even realize how fucked up konoha is and wouldn't gloss it over as well. Like, he was chill with his uncle once he learned why his father "really" died so I can't say that he wouldn't do the same with konoha for letting his clan continue their practices. He is a loyal konoha shinobi and since he isn't one of the main characters we don't really get to see what he thinks about many of these things. All I've got is headcanons and the little bit of information canon provides us to make judgements about his character.

Conclusion about neji: Pre tnj, maybe, probably actually (in my opinion), but post tnj? No way; he's been brainwashed by naruto. Though maybe if he interacted with sasuke for a little bit they'd get ideas lol

All of the konoha 11 are loyal konoha shinobi though, and that's why I can't ever see them leaving the village. You asked which one I thought was closest to leaving? None of them (save sasuke). Though sasuke at one point was also a loyal konoha shinobi, so I guess all of them can technically change. The thing is, now it's about who is most likely to adapt and change with new bits of information and make decisions for themselves, not decisions made by konoha. Sasuke is the only one shown to do that in canon, so I can't really say.(maybe ino? that's a hc though)

Don't really know much about how most of the k11 react to situations that change the way they would see the village, because so few are ever exposed to that (naruto is basically it cause he's the mc)

So, you asked who of the k11 would be friends with sasuke? None of them. If we're going by personality and personal preference/opinion, however; I have some preferences. Basically just anyone who isn't insufferable. Neji could be good friends with sasuke if they got past the first stages of them probably fighting a lot (and their philosophies greatly differ as well, sasuke would probably spend a lot of time trying to do what naruto did and convince neji that destiny is not set in stone and things can change, though unlike naruto, sasuke actually takes action and proves it) and I could see them being friends, though if I'm being honest, I'm really biased because I love them both so much and would love for them to have interacted in canon. But they don't really get any moments so all I got is headcanons.

Other than neji, I can see maybe shino being friends with him? He's pretty chill I think. And tenten seems pretty nice as well. I don't really have preferences though there are characters who would DEFINITELY NOT be friends with sasuke. Hinata is one of them, (for being generally dislikable, I think you can see what I'm getting at here, and also you can either have neji or hinata, never both and neji is waaaay better) shikamaru is another, for reasons pretty clear: He doesn't like sasuke, which is a pretty good line for who he wouldn't be friends with. Kiba is too much like naruto and also too much of a loyal leaf ninja (they all are though, let's be honest). Rock lee's out because he is just like naruto in how he sees sasuke (someone to fight, a goal) and he's also generally annoying with how he talks about "hard work", as if someone who is a genius does not work hard and that is honestly disrespectful. Sasuke is a genius, yes, he also works hard. It is because he works hard that he is a genius. Not a whole lot of people left. Anyway, I'm kinda neutral about ino because she does move on and doesn't continue obsessing over him like sakura at a certain point, so maybe they could become friends? Though they probably wouldn't, I'm neutral because she is capable of being actually normal and decent. Not good enough for her to be friends with sasuke, but still in neutral territory. And I'm neutral about choji as well, though he's friends with shikamaru so I'm not sure how that would go down.

All in all, that is what I think about (pretty much) every one of the k11. Lmk if I missed someone important (though I don't think that I did). And I know that this wasn't your question really, but this is a mess of jumbled opinions that I will now give to you. But yeah, my real answer is that he would never have friends in the leaf village, the only way I see him making friends is if they are outside of the village. Or they're his clanmates (if they weren't dead).

I'm not trying to sound smart so, I know I probably sound stupid. With that said, thank you so much for the ask! This is my first ask and when I saw it I was so excited to answer it right away. Thank you anon!

Also, sorry if I interpreted anything wrong or if this wasn't what you were looking for. I went a little ways off topic, but I tried. I'm not very good at writing or explaining things, never had been, but I've learned that writing at a low level is okay because it is easy to read and people can understand it. Still if anything doesn't make sense, don't be afraid to ask! I hope my answer was satisfactory :> Anyway this is long and I'm tired, so I'm just gonna set this post free

Lily's complaints about engagement are very weird considering she does her best to discourage people from interacting with her or her material...

I understand not wanting negative engagement, but she's just ALWAYS super harsh.

Someone speculates about writing a future AU with some of her TSR side characters (not all of whom belong to her anyways) and she answers "why would you do that?" Someone comments positively on a character and the answer is barely civil and completely shuts down the asker. Like at this point I'm convinced of someone drew marah just a smidge bigger than she is drawn in canon LO would have another meltdown.

It's actually not that hard to get people to interact, that's what fandom is all about! React positively to positive asks (like you for example, I think it's pretty funny that you get more actually positive I reactions about LOs stuff than her) ask follow up questions so the asker is incentivised to elaborate on their point! Maybe even prompt your audience by asking for HCs! And if you want controlled, constructive criticism you could also prompt that! Like "hey guys, I want to write the best possible version of marah I can, send me an ask with one point I could improve on and why, please keep it constructive!" That's a free writing fat characters 101!

rift rambles

so clearly something is going down today, which if I had planned this properly, wouldn't mean I was writing this so close to a flood of hc and empires eps dropping lmao but here we are.

i had planned a longer exposition about everything that's known and what's canon and how things might play out but idk I feel that would take too long and I have not enough time to do everything I need to do today so. I will ramble about this instead and we'll see what happens.

Also I am the kind of person who works quite closely from canon, so there's no super wild speculation here. Just extrapolation from what we know and what we've been told, and where that might lead.

So as someone who watches everyone on hermitcraft and everyone on empires I've been subjected to ALL THE RIFT LORE things going on. I will also be subjected to SO MANY VIDEOS in my sub box when all the rift stuff drops lmao pray for me. XD But at least it's given me a complete picture of everything that's been going on.

Things that interest me about Grumbot and the portal stuff:

if things can go INTO the portal from the Hermitcraft side and not be scrambled, but this doesn't work coming back from the other side/end of the portal (I am not assuming it will always lead to Empires, Grumbot suggests it can link to any world with a Grumbot), what does this mean about how the Hermits may get back without scrambling themselves.

If Empires wasn't originally in Grumbot Prime's database bc there wasn't a Grumbot, this necessarily suggests that the world he came from had a network of worlds hooked up by Grumbots that would allow travel between them.

If Empires does not have a Grumbot, is that why messages going through to Hermitcraft get scrambled? No Grumbot to keep the bits and pieces in order before being sent?

Grumbot Prime clearly controls the rift and can change the world that the portal links to. It might be that he opened the rift to Hermitcraft originally so he could come through to this universe for some as yet unspecifed reason. Perhaps seeking out Grian specifically? If so, why? Establishing a Grumbot on Hermitcraft to allow travel between this server and the world he came from? Again, if so why? Also what led Grumbot Prime to have these kinds of powers and abilities? He was simply programmed to make Mumbo mayor, and seems to have done that, but there's a unspoken creepiness about him and the world he came from. Like that world went wrong somehow, or is darker, or resulted in something very bad happening either with the Mayorship or with Grumbot himself that made him turn on his dads.

There is established multiverse lore on both Hermitcraft and Empires via Ren's lore mostly for this season, but also previous seasons have elaborated on this too, and Mythical Sausage does an awful lot with multiverses as well and has done in both his Empires series and Afterlife. Oli's entire Empires s2 lore is all about coming from Afterlife to Empires and not knowing he's on Empires until he finds other people. Grian bringing in a Grumbot from another universe adds to this. So it's clearly a big theme that's being tied together, not necesarily by everyone, but it's percolating. Which is why, to me anyway, linking Empires and Hermitcraft like this can lore-wise make sense at this time. There are other connections between the two servers ofc, and they seem to be pretty friendly with each other as well as sharing members in Gem and False (and Pearl last season).

Incidentally, Pearl and Gem were my gateway to Hermitcraft. I started watching them on Empires and so when they started on Hermitcraft a month later, I thought I'd give it a watch, and here I am, rambling about multiverse lore on tumblr lol.

Also all the teaser tweets over the past day or so have been, quite frankly, infuriating. XD

The question we won't know until the vids drop is the purpose of linking them together, and what that's going to serve to do, lore-wise, and also for them as two servers. Obvs ppl will include as much or as little rift lore into their seasons as they wish, but it's hard to ignore for big server-wide events like this.

I had a brief thought that maybe this was a Hallowe'en collab, bc of the timing ofc, but I don't know if that's just coincidental. It may be. I would be an awesome thing to do for Hallowe'en, to have Hermits stuck in another server and have to make their way back home somehow. Maybe they have to build a Grumbot to get home, so then they won't get scrambled. That's lore-consistent with what's in Grian's vid, so that may work. The question then is what having a Grumbot on Empires might do, and what lore that brings into their server.

Obviously the two Gems and two Falses (and potentially two Pearls, though I suspect there'll only be one) are going to be interesting, to see what happens with that. I am pretty sure False went through, but Gem definitely hesitated. And Gem heard herself through the portal and I am assuming she is involved in this somehow, but she might be going in late and perhaps doing her own thing.

Scar put some sounds at the end of his last ep, some speculated they sounded like cogs or machinery and maybe he ends up in Cogsmeade. Sausage also included the sound of what seemed like around 13 people coming through the portal at the end of his last ep, and his tweets have very heavily suggested Hermits coming to Empires, and perhaps not the other way around (yet???), and that was before Grian's last ep dropped which showed the Hermits going through first.

Which makes me think even more about what the story is here and why it involves literally going to another server with a big group of people. I'm used to Sausage doing multiverse stuff on his own that doesn't really impact other ppl. So to have a huge group involved is definitely a step up and I'm excited to see what happens next.

I may add other thoughts to this later maybe. I have so much to do to day so I may leave this here for now and go back to waiting for all the eps to drop. It'll be like 10pm my time so good luck to me getting through them all and getting to bed at a reasonable hour lmao. XD

Anyway, if anyone has further thoughts, plz share. <3

Where would au Striker live and what would his hobbies be? Would he have any side jobs that doesn't involve assassination? What would his favorite food be? I want to know more about Striker besides being a cowboy.

Well considering I had no part in writing the canon version, I can't do much more then speculate, but since this is AU then I suppose i can do a bit, have a good few hcs on our favorite cowboy anyway XP

First of all where he would live, not sure how long it would take to get to a job if your home is another ring so let's just say he get's an apartment somewhere in Imp City, hes not a fan of big cities but it's a nice enough place he can make his own for the most part. Putting Western Decor and stuff/

Sidenote: He'd probably need to find another place to house Bombproof for the most part, not sure if rental stables are a thing, maybe Stolas could, he probably owns a stable XP

Hobby wise, well for one, he's a bit of musician, wrote a whole song in the middle of a competition after all. He's best with a guitar, but he knows a few others, tamborine he's decent with, is reluctantly good with a harmonica despite how stereotypical it is, and he's a decent singer too, with any more modern or "techy" instruments he'll take some time to learn, never gets used to having plug them up XP Also never give this man a violin, your ears will not forgive you.

Sidenote: In this AU, I actually have Striker rescue Chaz from Crimson, respecting the scam against the mob boss even if Chaz is an idiot and essentially gets a roommate, I think it'd be really cute if they sing together sometimes (Am I giving fuel for a lot of Striker ships? Yes I am XP)

As for sidejobs, I couldn't see him doing much professionally, he doesn't like to overextend his energy if he doesn't need to, he might do some odd jobs on his own, maybe dragging Chaz into it as he doesn't intend to let his co workers lecture him about dragging them into problems.

Though I could see him hopping back to Wrath for a rodeo, he's too much of a showboat to not let himself get the spotlight from time to time. XP Up to you if he invites the rest of the team or keeps the downtime to himself.

Also Chaz or Blitz introducing him to video games, I think he'd find some enjoyable, imagine him at Dark Souls XP

As for food idk :I I'm not much of a cook myself and being a vegitarian limits my knowledge even more, I will say I don't feel Striker is vegitarian, or at least eats a lot of imitation meat if he is one, Tough food like that keeps teeth strong and I hc him as a biter XP Though again I can't do much on his favorite overall food XP

One more thing, that's pretty far removed from typical cowboy affair, Striker in his desire to get on par with demonic nobilty, has learned a good bit about magical stuff, he ain't no sorcerer of course, but he knows how to use magical weapons as we know, as well as making magical poisons and stuff from Hells Flora and Fauna, just another way he got crafty to get powerful and dangerous.

With enchanted weapons, he prefers blessed, but most intrique him, fire ones especially.

Of course these are all most headcannons, but ones I enjoyed making ^^
