[2-braincells]

crazy that i havent seen any post abt this but. PEARLGEM LITTLE MERMAID AU WHOOOOOO

ariel - pearl. salmon pearl. and her thing with researching aliens in s9 harkens to ariels fascination with humans

prince eric - gem. but shes a sailor not a prince.

ursula - cleo. s9 atlantis stuff. makes sense. i think theyre with iskall and ren this season??? so they can be her eels.

sabastian - grian. red.

flouder - mumbo. anxious.

that fucking weirdass bird i forgot his name - scar. silly. (also collect items like scar will collect animals for the zoo)

Do you have any fic recs?

OOOH okay let me answer this finally! I wanted to wait until I had time to pull up links and stuff :D So these will be mixed hermitcraft, 3rd life/last life, and dsmp probably, and since you're anonymous idk what you'll like.

Nothing but Flowers by nho (or @megabuild) (in-progress, fairly regular updates)

35k words, 11/24 chapters.

This is probably one of my favorite fics at the moment, and I always look forward to it updating! megabuild nails the characterization, imo. It's about the Mycelium Resistance, and the patterns that Etho notices after the nHo and the jungle. Switches pov between Etho and Grian.

quis custodiet ipsos custodes by andtheuniverse_said (in-progress)

18k words, 2/3 chapters.

One I just found! Grian is a Watcher, and that past gets dredged up when Fruitberries asks for helping dealing with Illumina, who is unconscious and won't wake up. I don't normally read about Fruit or Illumina so I found this one interesting. Grian-centric and Illumina-centric.

dog at the door by fluffy_papaya, iamsolarflare (finished)

66k words, 29 chapters.

this is kinda classic already for 3rd Life and I feel like most of the fandom has read it already, but i was late to the party and didn't read it until like last week. It's good. it's really good. Centered around Ren and Doc and their ride to S8 of Hermitcraft.

Lead me away (from this hell that I've made) by mgrnn (finished)

8.5k, 6 chapters.

this fic killed me /pos. Grian isn't the only one who has nightmares about 3rd Life--Scar has them too, but Scar's nightmares are about Grian.

Third Time's The Charm by SneakyToni (finished, has an in-progress sequel)

19k words, 10 chapters.

ngl, I don't normally like fics where Grian is a father figure for Tommy, but I really liked this one. Grian doesn't die at the end of 3rd Life. Tommy runs away from the Dream SMP and ends up finding a place with Grian in 3rd Life. They've both got a lot to heal from, and there's ghosts of the world haunting 3rd Life.

Awake O Sleeper by vesullia (finished)

26k words, 3 chapters.

banger c!tubbo story following the aftermath of Tubbo's execution (oh god is it a pun if i say banger-)

dissonance by shrugofgod (finished)

15k words, 1 chapter

another banger c!tubbo story about trauma. Tommy gets a therapist and Tubbo works through some complicated feelings about it.

But Nobody Came by h_mellohi (finished)

49k words, 8 chapters

An alternate version of the disc war finale, if Dream had taken Tommy and put him in Pandora's box and Tubbo had nearly died. Very good fanfic, lots of good Tubbo pov

A Most Valuable Commodity by Sharo (finished)

14k words, 6 chapters

Xisuma gets kidnapped for being a voidwalker while trying to scout a new world for S7, and the hermits come save him.

Stumbling into a New World by Sharo (finished)

18k words, 1 chapter

The hermits set off for a new world at the end of S6, but end up in a strange world. Xisuma spawns in with no armor and is getting sicker. (also no, the world they go to isn't dsmp--this fic is pre-dsmp lore but i think it may read like it is dsmp lol)

Woven Bonds by @theres-an-impulstor-among-us (in progress)

tumblr fic, idk the word count but it has three chapters

I just really really really like concepts that include Evo members lol. Summary: When the Watchers return to claim Martyn’s soul as punishment for failing them during Last Life, Impulse, Jimmy, and Mumbo, helped by Grian, set off to save him from eternal purgatory.

Scar had learned not to ask questions by @bdoubleo1000

oneshot, tumblr fic

mmmmmm LOVE some eldritch watcher!grian

You left me by @sparxwrites

oneshot, tumblr fic

Grian and Scar talk about Last Life.

The Way Back, Deja Vu, and Forget Me Not by @shadeswift99

oneshot(s)

GOOD ETHO (AND BDUBS) ANGST FOR LAST LIFE. im fine. youre fine. we're all fine. nobody is crying or anything

annnnnd that's all? that was a lot!

#quara asks #long post #fanfic

[beacon-lamp]

beacon. beacon. bdubs in on grian's list. but also. they are both red now. and joel calls them friends. also grian was thrown out of his friend group. bdubs in a similar situation. so. i don't know where i'm going with this. but. last life, am i right? -cat

@cat-26

cat im apparently not capable of being remotely normal about last life smp so as per tradition, i will be word vomitting my thoughts under the cut

grian fell for 4 entire seconds before he hit the nether roof. he fell for so long that the shock had already turned to realization by the time he died.

mumbo's little sign hurt me so much i've said it before and i'll say it again. because the Shock of turning red had barely set in and grian and joel are trying to turn it into a positive thing. like hey :) we can be friends now and cause violence :) and grian's also trying to explain the logistics about how all alliances are now cut once you're red. but then the southerlands officially exile him and he returns to the place of his death. and the little sign. "dont hurt me". and you're just suddenly yanked back to not even ten minutes ago when mumbo and grian were just dancing and joking around. and grian's little. "you can still be my friend". absolute pain.

etho being invisible in cleo's base as cleo respawns after being betrayed by her day 1 alliance. and he kinda comforts her? as he's trying to steal her valuables? that was really unexpected to me honestly i thought he'd just steal stuff and leave without saying anything. i loved that he put his armor on so she could see him. something something humanity of it all.

bdubs fucking died. he fucking died. like i thought we were in the clear, and the gremlin man had to go and fucking plummet from a high place. im gonna riot. and the end of etho's episode where he's just cutting the snow castle in half. not quite willing to evict him. but also definitely not willing to live with him either.

and bdubs pleading with etho at the end. trying to convince him that he wouldn't kill etho. he hadn't before and won't now. pain. agony even.

i gotta watch the fairy fort alliance man. i skimmed through cleo's episode because obviously she had a rough recording session. but her interaction with lizzie after bigb's betrayal left a bad taste in my mouth. like lizzie was more interested in protecting the lives of the fairy fort rather than how her friend felt? but that's the name of the game so i definitely gotta watch their episodes when i get the chance.

scar has 7 lives and lives at the top of a mountain in a dirt hut. an absolute mad lad. he's gonna win the whole thing i believe in him. i kinda want him to team with the red team. like one of those "im only using you and you're only using me" type alliances. but it just seems so lonely. someone wrote a post about loneliness on LL and it really struck a chord with me. the man has the most valuable resource on the server and not a single true alliance.

bdubs is the worst business negotiator hahaha. etho's little: i care more about bdubs than the enchanter, line got to me. etho being like a disappointed parent at some points with bdubs made me :) like they're friends :) it's the duo i've always wanted. which made the end of etho's episode so much sadder.

i just. the vibes of LL are so much more different than 3L. like lives are more valuable than alliances or friendships. it adds a sinister undertone about the world imo. like a greater force is at play. whereas 3L seemed more about human nature. there are more eloquent posts about this out there. i like it. but i'm also in pain.

impulse is gonna have a great time coming back on the server next week :)

#cat-26 #beloved friend ty for the askkk :) #nothing is coherent im trying So Hard to sort my thoughts out and i have So Much to say but none of it is coming out right #i haven't had this many thoughts about mcyt in a while so it's taking a while for my brain to be like. here's how to articulate things #i am trying though but overall. i am sad. so sad. but very happy joel has friends now :) #also 3L lasted 8 weeks and it's week 4 for LL #so it makes sense that we're approach a climax of sorts soon #cleo deserves to kill (in a video game)
