#HGAU facts

[amielot]

im so glad you're addressing the "two hearts" thing in Horse Girl! Hob cause I was wondering about that. I was ALSO wondering: does he have two stomachs?? I thought of it when you said about Hob needing to get a LOT of food... not only would Dream have to eat the amount a horse needs, but ALSO a human. Wtf do his insides look like

Oh yeah! I love to explore the concept of centaurs having eldritch anatomy. It’s one reason why this AU fascinates me so much, And I WILL be doing more comics about the subject hehe XD.

Hob is, understandably, also fascinated by this.

My working theory for Dream is he has two hearts, two stomachs (to break down human food and horse food) and one EXTRA BIG set of lungs in his horse half :)

Something I want to explore later is how equally bizarre Hob is to Dream as well. Only one pair of legs? One heart? How is he alive? The day Dream finds out a human can recover from a broken tibia, he’s gonna loose his mind.

#we’ve talked about this in the Mr Sadman server #and I love it #Listen #hob just has… #SO MANY questions for Dream #can Dream suffer from colic? #can he eat meat? #can he sleep standing up? #does Dream have two livers? or one? #it’s one #I keep finding tons of obscure horse facts #and integrating them into this AU #it’s so fun #monsterfucker hob gadling #the ask tag #horse girl au #hgau asks

Can I have 👖 and 💭 and ✨️ please 😊

👖Are you a panner, plantser, or pantser? Is it consistent?

I am wildly inconsistent with it. I think I'm more likely to be a planner if it's a big idea (HGAU had a whole lot of planning, there was some planning for Green Sleeves, Pride and Prejudice AU was half planned) but anything else is going off a vibe and that's it.

💭What is a headcanon you have about your own work?

I have a headcanon that in The Lucky One Veronica can't drive despite the fact that she has a car, and River is basically her personal chauffer. But before the events of TLO she doesn't really leave the house much, so River pretty much just steals the car every day to go about her business.

✨Choose three adjectives to compliment your own writing.

Me, an english lit student: What the hell is an adjective

Kidding, I'll go for quiet, sharp, and poetic (although the last one seems to come out only in angst)

[OLD AND MAY BECOME NON-CANON LATER ON] Got some short stories for ya’ll!

After much struggle i managed to think of some more lore based prompts for some short stories! They’ll be under the cut!

One of a conversation between Helsknight and EvilXisuma, the other of an interaction between TFC and GeminiTay! What can i say im a sucker for these two. The stuff is only slightly proof-read by myself so sorry for any mistakes in grammer or if things sound weird lol

Anyway, I hope ya’ll enjoy! And if i need to add any tw’s just say! I dont think i will though! Long post under the cut though

EX&Hels have a conversation

“So let me get this straight,” Helsknight sat up in his seat and leaned on the table between the two” You’re not considered a hels hermit at all?” Evil Xisuma rolls his eyes but chuckles at the other, he doesn’t blame him for not knowing, hell the only ones who probably knew were him and Grian’s little buddies.

“No, I am not a hels hermit like you. But, I work very similarly. Me personally, I’m the axolotl’s evil clone according to my code. But, and I can’t speak for the others, I still fill up the role of why a hels is created.” Helsknight slowly blinked at the other and rose an eyebrow.

“What is that supposed to mean exactly?” Evil X let out a snort at the other’s question.

“Well basically, Hels exist for one reason, to keep the gods, or hermits as we know them, in check. Granted they’re all too nice to do anything we’d do, but the point still stands. Hels are here to counteract the hermits, and the Axolotl doesn’t have a hels per say because I exist. But that’s not stopping the void from making a hels version if need be.” Helsknight leaned back and crossed his arms, narrowing his eyes at Evil X.

“Ok, so because you already existed, the void didn’t make a counterpart for the admin. But what do you mean it could make another? Why would we need a third Xisuma?” Evil X tapped his chin as he thinks of what he should say.

“Well, let’s just say the void has already planned for that” Helsknight could feel the shit-eating grin the other was giving him. But Evil X gestures to another person in the room. Helsknight, begrudgingly, decided to look, and see’s what the other was talking about. There was a turtle Xisuma sitting at a bar, but he looked almost vacant, like an NPC almost.

“Now, I’ve never talked to that guy, and based on the interactions they’ve had with others, he’s entirely just a placeholder, an NPC ready to be coded into action.” Helsknight turned back to Evil X who was looking at him now.”But unless something happens to me, I keep the role of a ‘hels counterpart’ even though I’m not a hels.” Blinking, helsknight picked up his drink, downing the rest of its contents, this was a very weird conversation they were having but, informative. Then something struck him.

“You said something about others earlier” Evil X feigned innocence and confusion, making helsknight growl.

“Earlier this conversation! You said ‘ But, and I can’t speak for the others, I still fill up the role of why a hels is created’. There are others who aren’t technically hels hermits on the server?” Evil X snorted then started laughing. Helsknight slammed his hands on the table and stood up.

“No! I’m serious! Who the hell are the others?!” After Evil X got done with his laughing fit, he pretended to wipe away some tears.

“You really are dense my friend” before the other could reply, Evil X continued” The only ones I personally know of, are actually Grian’s-”

“You said that using plurals, does Grian seriously have 2?” Helsknight looked at the other bewildered as he nodded.

“Indeed he does my friend. I don’t entirely understand it myself. One calls themself NpcGrian, or NPG for short, the other one calls themself Robot Grian or RG for short. And between us, RG is definitely the eviler and smarter one of the two. He’s probably the one considered the hels version.” Helsknight slumped back in his seat and rubbed his temple, letting out a heavy sigh.

“Alright, to get away from that confusing topic, you said hels were made to counter the gods?” Evil X nodded.

“Yee-p” popping the p at the end, Evil X leaned forward.” All the gods being together in one space can be seen as quite a dangerous predicament, and if they ever decided to team up and rise up for some reason, no one would know before it’s too late. So to try and stop that, keep the gods on their toes and aware, the hels were made. You were one of the first to become sentient and seek out your counterpart actually”

Helsknight looked at the other for a moment then realized something. Something that didn’t settle right with him.

“How do you know all of this information? I’m pretty sure not even Xisuma knows this crap.” Hels rose an eyebrow as the other’s expression got darker behind the mask he wore.

“Let’s just say, being locked in the void for ages gives you some free time. And the ability to look through your and your clone’s codes, even though I was never able to edit them.” Huh, well that made sense.

TFC helps Gem out/aka being a god is overwhelming

    Sometimes, to really appreciate the world you live in, you just gotta walk around. Taking in the sights of what the world holds and what your fellow hermits have made. And honestly, TFC is usually blown away by how talented the hermits are. He may not be much of a builder himself, but he’s happy they’ve kept him along the way nonetheless. Little ol’ miner TFC, walking amongst godly builders, figuratively and literally.

    Sometimes on TFC’s walks, he’ll come across other hermits, not often, but it’s always pleasant when he does. TFC admits, he should get out to talk to the others more, but he can’t help it. The mines make him feel at home. But today, walking into one of the newer hermits areas, he had a bad feeling in his gut.

    Deciding to stray from the path TFC decided to look around the area, a bit more in dept. And low and behold, once getting close to one of the new hermits custom trees, he heard soft, stifled crying. Like they were trying to cover it up. Eyes softening, TFC went over to the home next to this wonderful tree and knocked, before letting himself peek inside.

    GeminiTay sat in the corner, her head snapped up and it was obvious how overwhelmed and tired she looked. TFC gave a slight smile and walked inside, closing the door gently. Gemini watched tensely as TFC walked over, his pickaxe he used as a cane clicking with every step. But, TFC sat down next to her and softly asked.

    “Would physical touch help this situation or worsen it?” Seeing Gemini’s tears starting to well up more, TFC opened his arms, offering her a safe space. And she took it. Gemini scrambled to get up and hug the other. She didn’t know why his presence felt so...comforting, but it did, and once she started the hug, the floodgates were let loose. She couldn’t hold back her tears even if she tried.

    TFC held the young girl close, gently rubbing circles into her back as her whole frame shook and twitched. TFC did notice the leaves that moved like butterflies flying about in the home. He semi-watched them as he comforted the hermit in his arms, taking notes on the situation.

    Once TFC heard the girls’ cries soften and as her body became less shaky, he decided to start talking.

    “I understand if you’re too overwhelmed to talk right now, but was this panic caused by some aspect of your godly nature?” TFC waited patiently, and when he felt a soft nod on his shoulder he let out a little sigh.

    “You are one of the newest gods in general, not even to the server, have you been taught anything more than the basics yet?” a small shake of her head.”So you’re not yet in tune with who you are and the powers you possess, and due to that, something within you snapped, and you started hearing noises or voices, am I correct?” TFC could feel Gem tense like he had just read her mind, but she gave a soft nod. TFC looked around at the leaf butterflies, more seem to have gathered.

    “Are the voices still present? Have they gotten any louder or more intense?” With the soft nod, TFC was starting to understand a bit more. Gently sitting Gemini up, he made the corner they were in into a cozy one full of blankets and pillows. 

    Gemini then watched, rubbing her slightly puffed-up eyes, as TFC started to gather the leaf butterflies. Once he got a good amount he gently set them free outside. And the more he let go, the less overwhelmed Gemini felt. Once most of the creatures were out TFC made his way back over and sat across from Gemini.

    “Ready to talk?” Gemini nodded, sniffling and wiping away any stray tears. Taking a deep breath Gemini starts talking.

    “So...So I was just doing my normal routine, today I decided to do some enchanting. But then my tree, my /tree/ started talking to me and I got confused. So I went over and put a hand on the tree.”Gemini paused, breath hitching again. TFC gently held one of her hands, reassuring her to take her time. After catching her breath, Gem continued.

    “And..And then I...And then I heard all these voices and cries. Some were asking me for help, some were..thanking me? Some were crying, some cheering...But they all came at once and I couldn’t shut them off. Then I started hearing more despair than anything else and I... I couldn’t do it. My body got all fuzzy! And my eyes got blurry but different from tear blur. I felt my body...change. And so I ran in here. And I only started to feel my body go back to normal shortly before you came..” Gem panted softly when she was done, her tears back and starting to fall again. She was looking down at her feet.

    But when she felt a soft big hand on her cheek, whipping away her tears, she looked up. TFC gave her a gentle smile, a reassuring one, and, it honestly helped her more than she would have thought.

    “That my dear was your body being forced into its godly form. Every god has one, but most prefer not to be in them, as they can be taxing after long uses. But they’re nothing to be afraid of. You just went into it unwillingly.” Gemini nods softly, following along so far.”And if you would like, I can help you learn how to go into it and out of it, at will. I’ll do it with you.”

Gemini thought about it for a while. She didn’t know how long, but TFC never rushed her into deciding, only waiting patiently, giving her time to think. But, if she learned how to control that form, maybe it would be less frightening if this ever happened again. Gem then looked at TFC and gave a quick nod.

“Yea, ok. I, I want to learn how to control this...godly form of mine. But you’ll do it with me right?” TFC nodded and scooted so that they bot sat criss-cross, knees touching each other. TFC then gently held both of her hands.

“Ok, to start off with, think of why you became a god, and what you’re the god of. Think of what that means to you.” Gem nodded, closing her eyes as she held TFC’s hands. Furrowing her brows a bit Gemini thought.

Thought of the event that lead her to be a god, why she did what she did. She thought of what that event meant to her and why she would do it again. And she felt the tension in her shoulders released. Gem then thought of what it meant to be the goddess of the forest, what the responsibility and future actions might hold for her.

“Good, you’re doing great” TFC’s voice rang through her ears.”Now hold onto that feeling, clutch onto it, cherish it. Once you’ve done that, let go. Let yourself feel your body change, let it morph and melt into something new.”

Taking one more deep breath, Gem followed his instructions. The feeling her ‘job’ gave her, the hope she had for herself, and so on, she held it close to her heart, and let herself stop caring about the mortal plane for a bit. And she felt herself change. Like what happened earlier, but less jarring and harsh. She felt her body almost melt, felt it slither around while being on one spot. The feeling wasn’t unpleasant like it was before. It felt like shifting over in bed, something familiar.

“There we go, you’ve done it, you can open your eyes.” Cautiously, Gem opened her eyes, and instead of being met with the soft grandpa from before, there was a whole new person. They looked like TFC but also now. They had more sharp edges and the particles of different ores around them were very present, and they radiated the energy of a god. He reached over and cupped her cheek.

“How do you feel?” Gemini thinks, she looked down at her new self, realizing how much bigger the two were now. She looked at all the leaf butterflies, not being as scared of them now. She felt power coursing through her, the whispered of the plants and tree’s outside. But now that she’s not in her panicked state, it was a lot more comforting. Gem felt a soft smile form over their lips. Looking up at TFC she felt warmth in her chest.

“Now that I’m not panicking, it feels nice. It feels warm, and I feel stronger.” TFC nods, looking pleased.

“Now, let’s go back to normal shall we?” Gem nods and puts her head down, closing her eyes again.

“Now, recognize your form, recognize the power coursing through you. Hold that feeling, and imagine yourself tucking it away for later. Let yourself relax and let your body morph once more” And once again, Gem tried her best to follow along.

And next time she opened her eyes, the normal TFC sat in front of her. Looking down at herself, Gem saw her she was back to normal. Smiling Gem leaped up to hug TFC. Hugging back TFC gently pet her hair.

“Now, let’s get you to bed, You need some rest after all that. Tomorrow we’ll talk more about this stuff ok?” 

And with that, TFC and Gem got comfy in the small comfort fort TFC had made and Gem fell asleep. During the afternoon Bdubs came to see gem, but finding her and TFC sleeping, he just smiled fondly and closed the door quietly. Informing the server not to disturb the two for the rest of the night and left the sleeping duo to rest

OMGG!! im shook, you probs dont remember but i sent you an ask like 4 months ago saying i would DIE for a HG au from karo's POV and lemme tell you that after i got an email on my phone that you posted (i subscribed to you on ao3!!) it, i died on the spot and am typing from beyond the grave. i honestly have been feeling down after the final season news but you posting has made my life 50x better!! it was so beautifully written and hit me in the feels so hard, they're so in love and i CaNt (1/2)

wow thank you so much!! honestly i’ve been vagueblogging abt this fic for like six months so it’s literally so gratifying to know ppl are enjoying it :)) also ps justice for victor mancha the worst thing abt all this “final season” garbage is he’ll never get to be there

#i just found ur ask and it's literally from july wow #my prophecy came true i am in fact the slowest writer on the planet #asks #hgau #Anonymous

[amielot]

First and foremost, your horse girl au is just incredible. The story, the art, the emotional journey, amazing. Thank you so much for sharing it with us all.

But what I am really loving, is Hob’s reaction to taking a hit. Having been thrown around by horses a good deal in my youth, the response of ‘yup, that’s gonna hurt like hell tomorrow’ or a feeble ‘ow’ as you lie there willing you lungs to stay where they are and please get back to work is very, very relatable. Love that for our man.

Ahhhh! Thankyou!!!

Yeah, I feel like HGAU Hob is very “welp, this might as well happen” about a lot of situations in this AU 😂😂

So if Hob gets thrown around by Dream he takes it in stride. I spent a little time with horses in my past as well, and I like pulling from those experiences. So the fact that people can relate is awesome!!❤️❤️

there’s also something so funny to me about some random dude encountering magic supernatural shit and having to just deal w it in very human ways.

[OLD AND MAY BECOME NON-CANON LATER ON] Beginning of HGAU’s Hels info

Terrible title i know, but its fine, its fiiine, it works for now lol! In this post Ill explain the Idea i have for this hermit’s au Hels!

And since it may be a slightly long post, ill put it under a cut, just in case! If ya’ll have any questions feel free to ask!

And yes, I want to give Hels their own ambassador but I am waiting on permission from someone, and if they decline ill have to think a bit more! But its all good, im just rambling at this point- INTO THE AU! Sorry for any grammer mistakes or if something sounds weird!

Hermitcraft, a wonderful place, a safe place for gods to be themself. But, because of their power all stored in one area, the ‘universe’ has decided to make a fail-safe for them. If a hermit or all the hermits were to go crazy and use their power in bad ways, there would be a way to stop them.

Thats where the Hels come in. Up until season 7, the world of Hels wasn't exactly a world. It was a place where the shallow npc’s roamed until they were needed. But one man has changed that. Well a few technically but still.

After a glitch in an experiment Wels did with VintageBeef, Helsknight grew sentient, he suddenly had a mind of his own, his own thoughts and feelings. And of course he went to Wels first, Wels was the thing Helsknight knew the most of. After being sent away, Hels managed to pop back up in the Dimension of Hels, and upon finding all the npc like creatures, took matters into his own hands.

After managing to steal some of the Hermits magic, he brought the Realm to life, he gave everyone a mind of their own! All but two... But he decided to investigate that later (later finding out Grians and Xisuma’s hels didnt awake due to there already being sentient hels of these two somehow). Hels decided not to take the crown as ruler, deciding that he’d be the right hand man of who ruled, as long as he liked them of course. And thats where we get into more Hels lore.

Tango’s hels, MamboHec, had won the title of ruler, dubbing himself ‘The Emperor’, and with tangos admin abilities, he realized he had a bit more power than he previously thought. As well as learning of their lives system. A Hels counterpart is incredibly hard to kill, harder to kill than youd think. Theyre like resistance little roaches, but every hels gets 1 free respawn after death. After that, if they do not have a respawn anchor or another plan, they are gone and replaced.

But, Hels doesnt have just one ruler, oh no no. Under Mambo’s rule, there are 3 more sections. They have dubbed themselfs; The Capitalists, Quiet-n-Stealthy, and Nuclear-Bomb-energy. Each section has a designated ruler. The capitalists; Scars hels, though his Given name is BadtimesWithScar, he calls himself Remedy. Quiet-n-Stealthy; TFC’s hels, He calls himself AluminonCritic/ AC. And finally the Nuclear-Bomb-energy; Doc’s hels, Ward.

Due to hels still being a relatively new sentient realm it's still learning. While Mambo may has the final admin say so(at least as long as xisumas or Grians hels are dormant) The other three sections do have some rule over the land of Hels. But one thing everyone knows, they're there to counteract their "good" versions, even tho is seems they're more evil than the gods could ever be. But no one will know the true answer till a god goes rouge.

Can I have onwards and upwards please 😊

So onwards and upwards is the greentia martial arts au! Tbh I haven’t touched it in a long long time but I do have plans to revive it after exams/hgau because I have the whole plot mapped out in my head!

A fun fact about it: Tia drives Veronica to and from club once she finds out Veronica can’t drive, and their friendship (and eventual relationship) starts at the fact that they have similar tastes in musicals
