OH

OHO H OH

can i dm u abt my au

its a watcher grian au

Ohhh yes sure! I love hearing about other ppls AUs :D

HI GUYS, SUMMER VACATION STARTED AND IM BORED SO FEEL FREE TO DO THIS!!!

U can also ask about those characters role / relationship in wolau (info about wolau here) if u want!

...might even draw them if i get inspired.

Fun ask game: Send me 2 characters from the Life Series (feel free to specify season), and/or Hermitcraft, and I'll tell you my thoughts on their dynamic, whether or not I ship them, and a fun facr/extra thought

for the au i think an ambiguos but romantically leaning boat boys and romantic rendoc would be kinda cool since thats also their character relationships in hermitcraft canon, but totally upto you. i love ur idea btw! its actually so cool

Trueeee, i def wanted to make boat boys ambiguous, but i have SUCH a funny idea for a plot twist revolving around the reveal of whether they r romantic or platonic...

Like a rly silly misunderstanding one, where they r rlyyy ambiguous about their relationship and it causes the other characters to get to a VERY wrong conclusion...

Idk yet, and i probably won't tell yall which one i choose so i don't spoil it...

Web of Lies hermitcraft AU (Summary/info post)

Grian is surprised when Jimmy contacts him, especially since they haven't spoken in years. Back then, Grian was still a journalist who secretly worked with villains and Jimmy was a young adult who got accepted into a hero program...

Apparently Jimmy had become a vigilante instead, and the reason he contacted Grian was because he and his civilian friend Joel were creating an underground fighting ring and they needed workers for the bar above it that functions as a cover up.

He's hesitant to accepts their offer, since he's been trying to stay out of any... Crime "Shenanigans" for the past few years since quiting his job as a journalist, but agrees after they assure him that they just need a civilian worker that won't rat them out to the heroes.

Everything goes well at first and Grian slowly gets to know the other staff members better, that is until he starts to overhear more and more strange conversations between his co-workers, mentioning a strange type of magic that has been causing chaos in the city recently. It sounds awfully familiar to a cult Grian knows from his time as a journalist in Evo.

Grian is determined to stay out of it, ESPECIALLY if it turns out he's correct about the watchers being involved, but he has to at least do something, right?

Or, Grian has to make a choice between his quiet life as a "civilian" and saving his friends. Determined to do both, he tries to influence the watchers games from behind the scenes without anyone finding out, even going as far as creating new secret personas. Too bad the watchers think identity reveals are incredibly entertaining...

!!Masterpost is here!!

more stuff below!

(These things might change slightly, but I'll keep updating this post as i write the fics/comics!)

Characters

Major characters: Grian, Joel, Etho, Mumbo

Important side characters*: Jimmy, Gem, Pearl, Evil X, Ren, Doc, Xisuma, Scar,

Other minor characters: Cub, Zedaph, Skizz, Beef, Tango, Bdubs, Cleo, Martyn, Scott, Impulse, Joe, Iskall, False, Stress

(*still count as major characters, but they r either only relevant during one arc, don't get much screen time, or don't influence the plot that much)

Relationships

The main ones r just.... All of the major chars ig? Like, Grian&Mumbo, Grian&Jimmy&Joel, Joel&Etho, Grian&Etho, Grian&Gem, Grian&Pearl,...

Side ones / only relevant during one arc: Grian&Evil X, Grian&Xisuma, Grian&Scar, Etho&Bdubs, Etho&Doc, Pearl&Scott, Cleo&Scott, Skizz&Beef,...

Theres also some side (friend)ships that im not sure about yet, mainly boat boys and rendoc, since i can't decide whether i wanna make them platonic, ambiguous or romantic 😭 feel free to tell me what u prefer!!!

Tumblr just deleted an incredibly long draft of a summary for an AU i made when i tried to edit it...

Brb imma go. Cry or sth. /lh

Thats so true actually.

I NEED to see him cover the sky of the entire server. It would be so silly

Doc is getting psychologically tortured on hermitcraft was not on my 2024 bingo card, but god is it funny

Working on a hermitcraft art request rn, and....

HYPNO HAS A BOOB WINDOW??? WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME ABOUT THAT!!!

Anyways i decided to draw ittttt hehehe (<-is procrastinating on artfight & art requests)

MUMBO JUMBO BIG RON MERCH????

I know what I'll be getting for my birthday on the 25th...

Doc getting psychologically tortured on hermitcraft was not on my 2024 bingo card, but god is it funny

Hermitcraft season 10 is hermitcraft season 10 bc the lore is 10 times more insane than the other seasons were

Currently trying to figure out the chronological order for wolau...

Im trying to base.. Certain "events" off of the life series right

BUT I NEED STH THAT HAPPENS DURING SECRET LIFE TO HAPPEN EARLY ON AAAA (aka grian and effo teaming up w/ the warden and wither)

So now im just like. Making lists of things and trying to put it in the right order LMFAO

Also shortening some stuff bc... I feel like what i currently have would "drag on" for too long, so i gotta fix the pacing a bit. I wanna finsih planning out most of it before i post anything else cause i tend to be indecisive and don't wanna accidentally lie LMFAO-

Permit office headquarters sending slightly threatening letters to Grian gives the same vibe as Big Salmon sending very threatening letters to Beef

Especially since the entire server seems to fear the permitoffice even more than they fear the mafia... (which isn't much but still)

And I think that says a lot about capitalism

Artfight attack for @cursedtime >:D

Reminder that im participating in artfight this year!!!

https://artfight.net/~GhostyClay

I want to make a space au inspired by rens gigaverse lore SO bad.

But i have like... 5 other wip AU, that actually have a plot n story n stuff. My only idea for this one is "Zedaph does human experiments and ren explores space!!!" 😭

[Day 31]: Rendog!

Decided to make a lil animation of our favorite Gigacorp employee for today's hermitaday :D He's exploring the recently discovered planet he build his base on.

Oh! What's that??? Looks like he got spooked by something... It was probably just the wind or something, right? I'm sure its fine... :)

(closeups/non animated version below!)

Goodness gracious, i can't believe hermitaday 2024 is over??? THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IVE COMPLETED AN ART CHALLANGE LIKE THIS LMFAO-

Everyone say thank you to my adhd meds!!! Are they working properly??? Nope. Not at all. But they r making me hyperfixate on things 24/7, mainly art, which is probably the only reason i completed this LMFAO (my grades on the other hand... Are suffering... Oop-)

Average autistic experience 😭

No bc fr the amount of times i find out ppl hate me for no reason is- wayyy too high. Like. What??? Ive barely spoken to u. Why do u despise me sm???

Dungeon Meshi is about a quirked up white boy on a quest to save his sister and perhaps indulge his special interest along the way. He's a man of pure heart who has done nothing but help anyone he's met. Then part way through the story you start seeing other pov characters and it turns out every single person who has met him outside his party has read his awkward social skills and love for grilling as a sign of something deeply evil and has vowed to kill him on sight.

hey dude

you said your requests are still open? (i know i saw a post but im paranoid abt it fdiuhvu)

Yep they r very much open! I might end up taking a bit to finsih them, since i got a lot of other stuff to do rn, but i try to do all of them at some point!

And dw about asking for clarification, i get being anxious about accidentally misunderstanding things!!! Idm answering questions :D

My requests r probably gona be open for a while, i just do them whenever i have some free time

This very much HAS been seen by the og poster, ty sm for this omg!!! If u ever wanna help out, any advice is appreciated :D the last time I've written fanfiction was in 2019 and it was in german... (since that's my native language) so uh, yeah. I def need to practice my writing LMFAO

Not sure what kinda helping u mean, but like, i don't have a beta reader yet, so if ur interested in/meant that kind of help, sure? Tbf that stuff is a LOT of work so i get if ud rather not- especially since im not sure whether ill do it as fics or comics yet wodhwje

Since yall seem to like my other AUs/headcanons, I've decided to rant a bit about my 'main' one :3 (kept vague to avoid spoilers)

Small summary: (more indepth rant below)

it's a villan & hero hermitcraft / life series / empires au, focused on bad boys (at least during the first arc). Joel creates a bar as a cover for a fighting ring/information selling business, joined by pearl effo gem grian and jimmy. Grian refuses to participate in the criminal activities at first, but doesn't rat them out either. (inspired by his resisting the resistance thing in s9)

However, as u can probably guess, this doesn't last long and he slowly gets more n more involved, especially once random people mysteriously start getting "the red curse", which he recognizes from his past... (hehe watcher lore) Grian continues to pretend to stay uninvolved while trying to keep the Watchers at bay behind the scenes, even going as far as creating multiple alter egos / secret identities in order to hide his involvement.... (poultry man, cute guy, mother spore,...) Sadly, the Watchers think identity reveals are incredibly amusing and make it their mission to reveal Grians secrets... :)

Now, lil poll bc i wanna know yalls preference:

Im not a very experienced writer, so I can't guarantee the fics would be any good- while i def prefer comics, it would take a long ass time and I'm not sure whether its a good idea since i tend to loose interest in projects p fast wkdhakdj

Still debating what to name it, I think ill call it "Web of lies", "Wolau" for short LMFAO. Im not very good at naming things 😭 suggestions are welcome!!!

Some more background info:

Joel is a fairly new villain who has decided to start a business focused on fighting rings, selling information and just generally doing criminal stuff. (inspired by his secret fighting club in s10). He hires Gem and jimmy, two ex-vigilantes who became a bit more... Villainous. Their cover is a normal bar, which ofc means they also need normal employees who won't snitch. Jimmy suggests Grian toJoel, since he's a retired informant. He basically started out as an investigative journalist in another city, but got more n more involved with both villains and heroes (which is how he knows jimmy) before joining a cult (watcher lore watcher lore watcher lore-) and suddenly dissappearing.

Although he went missing a few years ago, they manage to track him down. He joins, but tells them he's not involved in the world of villains anymore and that he wants to stay out of everything (so hes basically working in the bar that they use as a cover as a 'normal' employee and turns a blind eye to anything criminal going on)

That's kind of the start of the story? Afterwards, Pearl, a villain who was Scott's (<-the previous biggest informant in the city) old co-worker, but got betrayed by him and is now plotting his murder, joins in. Later on etho joins, who is originally sent by the hermits as a spy (<- p big villain&vigilante alliance in the city) but ends up deciding to side w/ them. (BOAT BOYS BOAT BOYS BOAT BOYS-)

(pearl & Scott's conflict is ofc a double life ref and etho is a mycelium resistance ref, he also ends up finding out about some of grians secrets and helping him behind the scenes)

Although its focused on the members of the bar, later on it focuses more on other hermits (since they get more involved w/ the villain group "hermits" which most of the hermits are a part of) but there's also some side stories that focus on other ppl (there's a whole side story about Ren and Doc getting to know each other after Ren gets infected by the curse, or martyn whole listener thing & how it's connected to renchanting/ren getting cursed and the Watchers showing up in the first place... But i dont wanna spoil too much :3)

Oh also! Hermits r mainly criminals(vigilantes, villains, big salmom mafia,...) and Empires members r usually heroes! But there is some exceptions to this rule. (jimmy n martyn for example)

ANY KIND OF QUESTIONS OR SUGGESTIONS R WELCOME!!! might not be able to answer everything bc of spoilers, but ill def try to do some foreshadowing instead :3

I've got this one artrq that's been sitting in my inbox for a month bc it's so fucking GOOD, i wanna do it justice and make it look incredible

Adding more onto this:

Grian and scar didn't realize doc was ACTUALLY afraid of cats at first, they just left some in his base as a joke/threat. (similarly to the whole buttercup thing)

Once they realized he was unironically terrified of them, they stopped doing it, except for scar occasionally bringing jellie along for negotiations, as an "intimidation tactic"

Whenever Doc threatens them, Scar just holds out jellie as a warning. It usually works kwhekwhe

Oh my god you all don't understand how insane i am about doc being a creeper and thus probably being afraid of cats

@angelonasher

FIRSTLY, ajfoxships, YES GIMME ANY AND ALL FICS W/ THIS!!! PLSPLSPLSPLS-

Secondly, here's some of my head cannons which i will probably turn into a comic once i get the chance:

-scar and grian used jellie during season 9 when they destroyed docs tunnel bore. Doc was yelling at them and then scar just held out jelly towards him and doc was like *scared creeper noises* "...ok fine u can go BUT I WILL DESTROY UR ENTIRE BLOODLINE LATER-"

-the theme park jellie ears scar left doc as a gift during s9 after breaking the tunnel bore? Those weren't a gift, they were a threat

-one of the reasons doc asked ren for help is bc Grian Scar and Mumbo kept leaving cats in his base and docs thought process was "cats scare creeper, dogs scare cats -> time to ask the local furry for help"

-Ren scares away any and all cats that come close to doc by aggressively barking at them

-cleo added cats to her cafe(/bookstore) in s10, bc she knew doc wouldn't be able to retaliate after she stole her villagers if she had enough cats to scare him

-bdubs considered putting doc in a catjail as a punishment instead of airjail, but he realized last minute that that was just a wee bit too cruel

(also, Im quite busy w/ other art projects rn, so it might take a while till i post this, incase anyone wants to be tagged once its done just let me know!)

Oh my god you all don't understand how insane i am about doc being a creeper and thus probably being afraid of cats

Oh my god you all don't understand how insane i am about doc being a creeper and thus probably being afraid of cats

GUYS WAIT

Doc is gona be in air jail. For two weeks. Which means: HE CANT CATCH THE ORE SNATCHER!!!

hes literally been sleeping less to logg on and catch the ore smatcher, once he realized he can't guard his ore-

OH MY GOD THIS IS GONA BE HILARIOUS LMFAO
