Breaking the casual silence around the campfire, Scar asks, “Do you think we were ever in love?”

The question is out of nowhere, but it isn’t a surprise either. Grian thinks about it, about the lives’ worth of history between them. Of the mundane: slowly becoming friends on Hermitcraft, of the most memorable pranks they’ve gotten up to. It must be a side effect of enjoying his time on Empires that he doesn’t first think of Scar’s lips on his own, of shivering together in the desert and all of the ruin that came after. Guilt. Anger. Desperately trying to be anything other than Grian and Scar, In Love. 

He says the same thing he’s said before, when Scar has asked similar questions. “It wasn’t nothing.”

Scar sighs, looking into the flames. “I know that.” He doesn’t push the issue, though. Grian isn’t going to say anything else, because that’s all he can offer.

Scar misses it, but he respects the decision. In a lot of ways, it makes sense to stay this way. 

That doesn’t mean he never thinks about it. 

The problem with asking Grian if he loves— or ever did love— Scar is that they both know that Grian did. And he still does, but Scar isn’t sure what kind of love it is anymore. Most of the time it just feels like friendship, but the ghost of whatever it was they used to have changes the taste of the words he says to Grian. Every single one is far sweeter than it ought to be. 

It’s harder to know if they ever were in love, though. 

Third Life was so— well, it was a fast few months. In the grand scheme of things, it wasn’t much. More importantly, it didn’t end well. Grian won, because he’s that kind of man. Selfish. Itching to cause trouble. Scar didn’t fight back, either. It left no choice. In the moment, Grian mostly felt his red heart pumping red blood through his veins, anger and despair and a need to survive mingling with the hot feeling he’d always get, being around Scar in that desert.

Before all of that, though. Was he in love with Scar? Did Scar know what he was getting himself into enough to truly be in love with Grian back?

(Of course, of course, of course. What else could it have been?)

He thinks about why Scar even asked. It’s been a while since even Double Life, which was both disastrous and miraculous. So much has happened on Hermitcraft this year alone. He figured they’d aged out of it as best they could. It doesn’t matter anymore that sometimes he still wants Scar. That’s only sometimes, anyway.

He could have moved on. Scar gave him an easy out. There’s never really an easy out of your feelings, though, is there?

“I’ll tell you a secret,” Grian says, barely a whisper.

A few feet away, cowboy hat discarded, illuminated gorgeous and orange, Scar looks back down at Grian, back from the stars he had been staring silently at. “I love secrets,” he replies, easy yet cautious, eager yet balanced precariously.

“We were definitely in love. At least for a little while.”

Why 666k? Because it's funny and impossible so good fucking luck

"He loves me," says Bdubs, a poignant edge to his words. "/p," he adds, gaze looking over the walls of their now half ruined fort, far beyond the faces of the red scavengers circled below his position.

"If he loved you (/p) why didn't he give you a life?" The tone indicator left Grian's lips with the smallest air of derisiveness.

"Go say hello to him and see what happens, yeah," broke in Tango.

"H-he cares (/gen)," Bdubs continued over the grim natter. "He does!"

c!Sam 🤝 c!Quackity 🤝 c!Wilbur:

Using c!Dream’s treatment of c!Tommy to justify their treatment of him, completely uncaring of the impact of this on c!Tommy.

[honkschnoo]

nobody is talking about how bad of an ally c!wilbur is to queer ppl (c!dream) during pride month 😞. forcibly outing Ppl isn’t lgbt-friendly, c!wilbur.

Foolish might not be LGBT, but two of his sisters are

my howl's moving castle inspired au, the long masterpost:

*will use scar's moving castle as a tag for this!

consider: grian manages a family business with his sister, pearl. their life is anything but glamorous, and grian doesnt have much prospects of ever leaving his town and doing something different. he hears stories about big cities full of possibilities, magic (hes isnt sure if he believes in that), a moving castle and a handsome wizard who steals the hearts of young women;

one day, grian gets cursed by the wizard of the wastes (joel), after he comes into his shop late in the shift and they get into a heated discussion over the existence (or lack, thereof) of magic. joel thinks of it all as just a silly prank, a curse that can be easily lifted or is just naturally disappearing after a few days;

joel girlbossed too close to the sun, though. the curse is bad. grian wakes up finding out that his body has started to grow feathers. its uncomfortable and borderline painful at times, specially on his back;

after properly freaking out, he tries to deal with it as best as he can, chugging some painkillers, wearing oversized clothes and going to work as if nothing is wrong. pearl notices something unusual, tho—perhaps its grian's murderous expression whenever he remembers joel's face. hes going to kill that bastard;

the curse gets progressively worse as the days go by, until grian can no longer easily hide it and pearl finds out by the ungodly amount of feathers spread around their house. she, of course, gets worried, and tell grian they need to find the wizard that cursed him somehow, or perhaps asks someone else for help;

they dont know any other witches and wizards, since, until last week, grian was pretty sure those didnt even exist. until pearl mentions that one dude who apparently steal hearts and was around town with his moving castle;

grian tells her thats a legend to scare young people so they wont go around talking to strangers. pearl argues that she knew of a lady who disappeared after allegedly spending time with the wizard;

grian supposes that man, if he actually exists, isnt the most trustworthy. but 1. hes not a young lady, which appears to be the ones who get their hearts stolen and 2. he has nothing to lose, really, besides some of his time;

pearl offers to go with him, but grian insists for her to stay (shes a young woman, after all). so grian leaves by himself in good old ghibli fashion: taking with him nothing but a block of cheese, some bread and a clock;

he founds the moving castle with ease: its ridiculously big and it makes no sense at all, having many weird bump outs, few windows, a dramatic copper roof and many chimneys. if anything, it looked like the weirdest house ever and nothing like a castle. something about it was still charming, tho: he just couldnt point out what.

development for this au just started, but so far it includes:

scar being weird and overly dramatic, but still charming. he also refuses to pay taxes;

cub as scar's weird demon roommate, with whom he made a contract many years ago. cub is so miserable sometimes that he regrets getting scar's heart (or his soul, whatever). cub keeps the "castle" moving with overly complicated redstone magic and fire that allegedly comes from the depths of hell;

scar sending threatening letters to joel. many of them. demanding for him to break the curse. joel ignores every single one;

he eventually gets pissed and goes with grian to look for joel, who admits the curse wasnt supposed to be that strong and now he doesnt know how to break it. scar turns him into a frog and joel is kept hostage;

joel still does his best to be as annoying as possible despite the limitations of his new body.

it also includes:

scarian falling in love;

found family;

silly cliche romance tropes;

romcom elements;

characters acting like divorced couples;

funky magical men with their funky little spells;

light angst.

i want to write this but im afraid i might not have the time. still want to brainrot tho so im accepting asks! you may also write with this au as long as you credit me! :)

[honkschnoo]

I think it’s really funny and really telling that the most complete character arc on the Dream SMP belongs to Charlie Slimecicle

He got in, did his little song and dance, and dipped the fuck out and we’re still crying about it

[honkschnoo]
