oo!! your versions/takes on the nether biomes? any lore you can think for a few?
Wastes
Precursor to the forest variants, only capable of sustaining small fungi
Watch your step, everything here is crumbling
Piglins lead their zombified comrades here as a sort of funeral, since they can’t be buried normally
Soulsand Valley
Don’t build here, don’t rest here, don’t even stop if you don’t have soulspeed boots. Nothing is worth your immortal soul
Don’t listen to whatever whispers in your ear, even if it’s a familiar voice
You’ll find ancient remains of a battle, especially weapons and armor. Under no circumstances should you ever touch them, much less take them with you
Endermen will stalk you like vultures, ready to take your belongings if you succumb to the sand
It’s believed ghasts are either immune to the valleys’ effects or their cries are the result of staying there so long
Wither skeletons become stronger when in contact with sand or fire
Basalt Delta
Home to a race of humanoid ghasts who bask in it’s lava pools and lake shores
Believed to be remnants of the nether’s first ‘stage’, equivalent to the Precambrian era 
Always wear a mask. Wouldn’t want to cough up blood from your insides burning now would we
Unstable, volcanically active environment
Scientists hypothesize the nether’s crust is the result of ancient basalt deltas, forming a protective layer around the world to shield life from the uninhabitable atmosphere
Crimson Forest
The most stable nether environment, perfect for sustaining life
Native environment for piglins and hoglins
Crimson roots can be ground into a fine powder and sprinkled on food for some extra spice
Warped forest
Similar to the crimson forest but more hostile towards outsiders
Air is thick and muggy, no matter how hard you breathe there never seems to be enough air
When threatened it secretes poison which causes lethargy, dizziness, and hallucinations
Striders are immune as they’ve evolved to be natural warped pollinators, carrying bits of fungi from island to island to help spread the forest
Endermen are immune by being an invasive species, though they experience a mild high if consumed

Concept: guy in black body suit who likes to hangout in abandoned buildings, the woods, and dark alleys. The creatures of the dark consider him one of their own and protect him like mother bears protect their cubs

Tumblr media
“I really don’t want to have this fight with you right now,” Hope all but begs. 
“I don’t care Hope! We have to talk about this. I can’t just move on like the past week didn’t happen,” I shout, anger coursing through me, “Why didn’t you come to me as soon as you got back?” 
“I tried!” She shouts back taking me by surprise, “I tried to come back to you so many times. But what was I meant to say to you? Hey Y/N, I know you don’t remember me because I jumped into Malivore but I’m your girlfriend?” 
“Yes!”
“No Y/N, I couldn’t. You seemed happier, you all did, I wasn’t about to ruin that,” She says softly as if all the fight she once had is gone. 
“Happier?” I scoff, “Do we have different memories or something? Because I remember being insanely happy and in love with you Hope. We were both happy. I’ve seen it all now. I remember you taking me to your parents' graves, I remember our first kiss and all the kisses after that. I remember you telling me that you loved me each and every day. When I woke up, and just before I went to sleep, you told me you loved me. How do you go from that to thinking I’m happier without you?” 
I watch as a tear falls down Hope’s cheek slowly, “I need to explain to you why I did it. I jumped into the Malivore pit to save you Y/N. Monsters just kept coming and I thought that I would fix it. But it didn’t want me in there, I was like poison, I didn’t know before that I wasn’t the loophole. So when it expelled me I came looking for you, and I saw you laughing with the twins and you looked so carefree. So I chose to not wreck it for you. Except then I saw you faint and I had to know what happened to you, and that meant that I had to go see Alaric and explain everything to him. I’ve been waiting for you to wake up since.” 
“I would sacrifice a thousand people for you Hope Andrea Mikaelson,” I say, sincerity dripping from my lips, “And in a hundred lifetimes I will still come back to you. Every time. The past week has felt like I’m missing something. Now you’re back and I feel whole again. You, Hope, make me whole, without you, I am less of a being. God, Hope, I love you. You’re my soulmate.”
Hope takes a step towards me, placing a hand on each side of my face and pulls me towards her. Our lips meet in a passionate frenzy, moving against each other. My fingers grip her waist, pulling her as close as humanly possible. I slip my tongue into her mouth and our kiss gets heated. But a sudden knock at the door causes us to jump apart. My eyes were blown wide and cheek undoubtedly a deep red colour, I look up to Hope and notice her face matches mine. 
The door opens with Alaric and Lizzie stood on the other side. Panic etched across their faces, although once their eyes meet with our flushed faces they begin laughing. 
“Well as glad as I am that you’ve made up, we have a bigger problem,” Lizzie says, eyes flicking back to the hallway. Hope and I snap out of our embarrassment and walk out into the hallway, where we are greeted with everyone on the ground, passed out. 
“What is happening?” I say turning around to face them. 
“We don’t know, it seemed like everyone walked into the hallway and then they just dropped. We were outside when it happened,” Alaric explains. 
I feel Hope come up behind me, placing her hand on the small of my back. “We need to get out of here if its some kind of gas or toxin we are already in trouble.” 
I nod my head, linking my hand with hers and we begin to run outside of the building. 
  “What is going on? What’s our plan now?” Lizzie asks, her breaths coming out heavily.
“I don’t know,” Hope says, and I can almost hear the gears turning in her mind as she tries to decipher the phenomenon. 
“Where’s Josie?” I say, my eyes wide with panic, as I search around to find her, “We have to find Josie and Landon.” 
“I need something of Josie’s, “ I say holding my hand out to Alaric. 
Alaric pulls a photo of the brunette twin out his wallet and both Hope and I begin the tracking spell on the girl. 
“Où tu fuis, A pouvoir la trouver. Yonn souri nan zeb.” We say at the same time, the spell being an old one that Hope had found, and taught to me, from her grandmother, Ester’s, grimoire. A flash echoes through my brain. “She’s at the lake, Landon’s there too.” 
“So she’s awake?” Alaric asks. 
I glance to Hope, who says, “Yes she is, but you should both go get her, we are stronger as a group, but Y/N and will stay here and try and figure out what monster has done this to everyone.” 
Everyone agrees and Alaric and Lizzie go to get Josie. Hope and I rush to the mystic falls library and begin going through all the books that we can find on mystical creatures and sleep. 
The book I’m reading details faeries and nymphs and positive and happy creatures. 
“A night hag,” Hope mutters under her breath. My eyes snap up to meet hers, panic written over her face. I jump up and make my way around to her.
“The night hag or old hag is or maybe a witch the name given to a supernatural creature used to explain the phenomenon of sleep paralysis. However, the night hag is actually known to put entire villages to sleep, giving them cruel and evil nightmarish dreams,” She reads. 
“How do we stop it?” I ask and watch as Hope keeps reading. 
She stops and looks up at me, and looks back down and starts reading it aloud, “It is unknown how to prevent an attack from the night hag but it is said that she died of asphyxiation in the early 1800s.”
“How can something that people don’t remember being real have died?” I ask her. But I’m cut off as her arm wraps around my throat in a headlock position. I gasp for air, clawing at her arm around my throat, “Hope. Let. Go. Please.”

Big Brother Tumblr Tag Game
So I was tagged by @vanessacries to take part in their Big Brother Tumblr Tag Game and here are my answers
Tumblr media
Rules:
If you are tagged copy and paste the rules and all questions
Answer the questions
Tag 3-5 people to also complete the questions
Tagged by @vanessacries (legend)
About Me
1. Name or nickname? - My name is Max, but ya’ll already knew that
2. Age/Age Group? - 18, but there is an episode on my 19th birthday!
3. Zodiac Sign - Libra
4. Favorite Color? - Some days it’s orange, some days it’s purple
5. Favorite Animal? - I love love love LOVE Red Pandas...google them they’re so cute
6.  First Season of BB you remember watching? - In terms of BBUS, season 16. In terms of Big Brother as the franchise, BBUK Season 7
7. Would you ever want to go on BB, if so, what type of player would you be? - I Would love to, I would try and have like a Jun Song Floater game, but new school bb hates that so...i’d be out week one
8.  Are there other CBS shows you’d want to go on, and if so, why? - I would love to do the amazing race, but i’m from the UK so they won’t let me shshhs
9.  What other Reality shows do you watch? -  I watched The Only Way Is Essex up until 2017, I could also rewatch ANY season of Geordie Shore or BBUK
10.  All time favorite houseguest? - This is a hard one, Idk if it counts, but Nikki Grahame was on BBCAN and any house she’s in turns the season up to 11 for me, If I don’t count and has to be from BBUS, Vanessa from bb17
About the Show
1. What is your all time Favorite twist? - The Twin Twist, if the twins don’t tell anyone (which is sadly always going to happen) it feels so tense like sumn about two people having to act like one person is just iconic to me!
2. What is a twist that you like, but kind of flopped? - The MVP twist, In my eyes this flopped like the season, I think if they made it so you could only be the MVP once then it would have worked better in season 15, but they also could have flipped it so that the evictee picks who goes up, that would have been iconic watching everyone asking who put up the 3rd nominee, but it was actually the person they sent out the door the week before
3. If you were the new Grodner and had to remake the show, what would you keep the same? - The art team, I don’t think they get enough credit, Sure sometimes it’s a bit meh, but the den of temptation was just *chef’s kiss*
4. What would you change? Casting, that is all i have to say about that.
5. What’s your all time favorite comp? Generic answer, but OTEV is actually so iconic to me, the strategies, the fights, It also gave me one of my favourite Janelle moments ever
Tumblr media
6. What’s your all time favorite competition? - idk if i’m being a clown, but this is basically the same as question 5 sksksk
7. All time favorite punishment? - To me all the punishments are kinda dull, like i feel like the producers do it more for comedy on the shows to shy away from the actual problematic stuff that happens every season.
8. If you could bring any houseguest back to be in the house (not to play the game) who would it be and why? - So they just like sit around and observe from inside? If I’m allowed, I’d say miss tea queen Angela Clancy from BBAU12 cause she is some good TV.
9. If you could bring any houseguest back to play, who would it be? - Jackie Ibarra, Hands down!
10.  What is your most memorable episode? - BBCAN5, Week 5′s Eviction episode a.k.a THAT double eviction!
11. If you could have any reality star from any other show on BB who would it be? She’s been on the UK version already, but Gemma Collins!!!!!
Tumblr media
12. What’s your favorite BB series outside of normal BBUS (normal BBUS does not include CBBUS or BBOTT)  - BBUK cause I grew up with it (and thought it was the only version until bbus16 started)
13. Favorite Julie Chen sign off? - I prefer Arisa Cox’s “Someone is always watching” so Julie doesn’t speak in my mind sjsjsjsj
14. Is there anything from old BB that you would bring back, why or why not, and if yes, what would it be? - Casting, cause a lot of older seasons had a mixture of old and young players and they don’t have jobs like “Social Media influencer” or “Podcast maker” or “Jewellery Maker” they have jobs that they can apply to big brother and don’t have to worry about their social media reputation!
15. If you were in the BB house and you won HoH what album would be in your HoH basket and who would you want to receive a letter from? - I’m torn between LM5, Future Nostalgia, and Sweetner, In terms of letter, I’d say my best friend, I’ve known her for almost 10 years and we’ve spoken literally everyday since we met so uhhh sorry to my mother sksksks
16. Favorite Alliance - Danielle and Jason from bb3, that is what an Alliance should be, not the 10 mayo alliances they make in new big brother
17. Funniest BB moment  - (it’s not bbus, but it’s the only valid answer!)
youtube
18. Favorite first boot?  - JODI ROLLINS DESERVED BETTER!
19. Least favorite houseguest? - Frankie cause him being related to Ariana is the reason i watch this shit show...

Inferno
Limbo
Summary:  Where do people go when they die? Well, for the least lucky people in the world, hell is waiting. But what happens when these people do go to hell? And how did you end up there?     
Warning: death, hell, mentions of religion, not a really graphic death but oh well, tyler is kind of an ass, torture, cannibalism-ish?, and swearing. Big warning before this series starts, it gets fucking dark, in this people are sent to hell for committing suicide, not believing in god, and being hypocrites, so there will be a lot of trigger warnings on each. There will be starvation, torture, blood, death, fire, did i mention death? so this is my warning!
Part 1// Part 2//Part 3// Part 4// Part 5// Part 6// Part 7//
(Not my gif!!)
“Where’s your best friend, now?” You dared to ask the demon, not wanting to bring up any unhappy memories again.
“I don’t know,” he whispered bringing his knees from the back of the seat in front of him to his chest.
Please read warnings before advancing! It is not my fault if you get triggered because you did not read my warnings!
Tumblr media
“Yes, ma, I’m having fun in my new place,” you laughed into your phone, “yes, Tom is doing very good.” You had just moved in with your long-time boyfriend, Tom, and your mother seemed so much more worried about your safety in your new place than one should be. Maybe she was right to be worried. Nah, we’re safe here, you thought.  You were sitting on your brand-new couch surrounded by an ocean of boxes that you had yet to unpack.
“I’m doing well, mum!” He exclaimed happily, leaning down from his spot next to you to give you a peck on the lips.  
“Did you hear that, ma? Yeah, that was Tom. No, we’re not done unpacking. Ma, it’s like midnight here,” you sighed, rolling your eyes lovingly at your mother, “yeah, I’ll call you in the morning. I love you, so much. Yeah, tell the dogs I love them too. Dad too. Yes, I do love you. Ma! Good night. I love you, too. Bye.”  
“Wow, she made you say it three times this time, that’s a record, and the call only lasted” he checked a watch on his wrist that was not there, “three hours.” Tom laughed. You shook your head, playfully. Your mother never seemed to stop talking unless you shut her up.
“I’m tuckered out from moving all day, want to hit the sack in our room?” You ask. You finally had a place with a real bedroom, not like the studio you lived in before you moved in with Tom. It was huge in comparison.  
“Don’t mind if I do,” Tom agreed, a wide smile on his face. He picked you up bridal style from the couch you were seated on and carried you to the room, all the while giggling along with you. He tossed you on the bed and flopped down next to you, giggling.  
“You’re so silly!” You giggled, “I love you, so much.”
“I love you too,” he sighed, you tucked yourself under the covers after readjusting yourself under the blanket, and looked over at Tom, who was still finding his spot under it, himself. Once he was finally settled in his spot, he gave you a peck on the lips and turned off his lamp, “Good night, my love.”  
“Good night, baby.”
Barely two hours later, you woke up to a crashing sound and couldn’t breathe. It felt like someone was holding your throat in their hands and squeezing. But why would they do that? You had locked your front door, or at least you thought you had. You opened your eyes but the room was too dark to see anything. You couldn't make out anything surrounding you, nor could you move. This has to be some sorta intense sleep paralysis, maybe I'm just asleep, you thought, c'mon, (y/n), wake up.  
But you weren't waking up. You remained paralyzed on your bed with some force around your neck and the feeling of your satin sheets on your back as you were pressed firmly into the it.
Tom will wake up and help me, you thought, he will save me.
But he didn’t. You were dying, and he wasn’t helping you. You felt a searing pain in your stomach, suddenly, and a liquid ran down your sides onto the sheets you paid so much money for. 
Then, the world went black.
-
When you finally awoke again, you were surrounded in red and fire. Endless amounts of it, behind you, left, right, everywhere. Except for a gate, right in front of you. It seemed way too large for its purpose, which you assumed was keeping things out, and it had a script over the top in large, shining neon letters. You recognized the last sentence, “Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.” You could see the sun rising behind it, and a large rumble of thunder sounded over your head.
“I’ve been telling Brendon to change that tacky sign since I got here,” a voice said behind you. You turned and saw a man with shaggy brown hair, a white t-shirt, an unzipped white jacket, a red beanie, and black jeans, looking up at the gate, silently reading over the skript himself. His face had numerous cuts over it, and his eyes shone through red. His incisors were longer than a normal person should have, you guessed he wasn’t human, or at least was pretending not to be.
“Who are you? What kind of sick joke is this?” You asked incredulously. This had to be a prank, Tom was messing with you. He had to be, like the time you met him on set and pretended to fall off a rig during a stunt, only to rile you up and make you worried, and then revealed he was alright. You wanted to punch him in his beautiful, crooked nose that day.
“Sweetheart, I wish it was a joke,” he sighed, “welcome to hell. I’m your guide, Tyler. The big guy sent me to fetch you and lead you to him, you seem to have caught his attention.”  
“Did I- am I- am I dead?” You whimpered. You pulled and prodded at your face to see if you felt pain. You pinched yourself and winced, you definitely could feel pain. Tyler looked at you with sympathetic eyes and nodded, assuring you that, yes, you are dead. He also knew how you died, but wasn’t allowed to tell you. His boss strictly informed him that he was not to tell you how you died or that Tom had died too. Only, he wasn’t with you, he was in purgatory waiting in line to get into heaven from the lowest tier, “How?”
“Dunno. Let’s get going, we have a long trip,” Tyler said, changing the subject quickly, snapping his fingers to open the gate. Fancy trick, you thought. He led you inside and already, you heard screams of agony and saw people being attacked by an endless number of different bugs, “Keep moving, keep moving.” Tyler ushered you away when you froze in shock. He knew it was a lot to take in for someone’s first time in this part of hell, it wasn’t quite hell yet, either. He wasn’t even used to it, himself. The entirety of that part of hell was one large field with a large mountain range surrounding it to the east, south, and west, and to the north was a large bridge going over a large body of water. You were led to a bus stop and you were forced to wait in line for either the bus or a taxi. “The line is never usually this long, just my fucking luck.” A sign next to you said “River Acheron” and you didn’t understand how the bridge was built over a river that went on and on, past what the eye can see.
Hell wasn’t as scary as you were taught as a child in church, at least this part of hell. The sun was shining brightly, casting down a slightly red light that lit up the entire valley. If you were alive, you would have been worried about skin cancer, but you were dead. Do dead people get cancer? Is that a part of hell? Maybe it’s some sort of punishment somewhere around here, you thought to yourself.
“What are we waiting for?” You asked.  
“Well, we don’t want to swim in that water,” Tyler said pointing to the numerous heads and body parts floating just under the surface of the water.  
“Oh,” you muttered. A cab finally approached and people began to swarm for it. Tyler took your hand and walked in front of the entire line, he must have intimidated everyone in the line because they let you two past them with only glances to spare at Tyler’s scratched face. The man in the driver’s seat took one look at Tyler and nodded, probably knowing exactly where he wanted to go.
When you were settled and buckled in, the cab took off down the bridge. You sat in silence, trying to stare out the window, but it was just as interesting as watching paint dry. Now you wished you had your phone, or anything to listen to music with. 
“What did you do when you were alive?” He asked, trying to make at least a little small talk after noticing how bored you looked with your head bouncing slightly against the window.
“I was a forensic scientist,” you said softly, wishing the cab would move faster. You really wanted to get off the topic, or any topic about your life before this, for that matter. You missed Tom and really wanted to get this adventure, or whatever it was, done and over with, “How did you… you.. y'know?”
“How did I die? I was in an accident on my tour bus, we were driving one minute, then the next, I was upside down, there was fire, smoke, so much fucking blood, and then I closed my eyes and ended up at the gate you just walked through,” Tyler said quietly, “me and my best friend were both sent to hell for different reasons, and my wife— well I guess ex-wife now, she was sent to purgatory. I made my way through here just like you, but without a guide, and eventually found Satan’s ‘palace’. He promised to make sure my wife got to heaven from purgatory if I stayed in hell to help him. Then he made me one of his little minions, or a demon, as humans so appropriately named me.”
“Where’s your best friend, now?” You dared ask.  
“I don’t know,” he whispered bringing his knees from the back of the seat in front of him to his chest. You felt bad, you couldn’t help him in that moment. The cab stopped and Tyler waved his hands crazily as a signal to get out before the driver could pester you for a tip. You slipped out of the cab, your feet hitting what felt like pavement.  
“Welcome to hell, proper. Where sinners and wimps go once they’ve left that god forsaken world,” Tyler greets, “This is where the people who aren’t quite religious go, atheists, agnostics, and so on; aka the first circle of hell, Limbo.”  
The first ring looked like a sort of torturous barbeque, much like one you’d go to with your parents to their friend’s homes, but with more screaming and it was humans being barbequed. Why were there grills in hell? You saw so many people that it felt unreal, some people- you guessed more demons- were eating disgusting looking burgers, and some people were screaming out in pain as their flesh was cut off them and cooked. Tyler practically dragged you through the crowd of people by his tight grip on your wrist, the other demons looked terrified of the red eyed man, moving quickly out of the way of his wrath.  
“Why are they being cooked?” You asked from behind the man, turning your nose away every time you saw someone taking a bit of their human-sandwich. This has to be the shopping mall of hell, except they were not offering you perfume samples, but burgers made of human beings.  This circle was a lot like the area before, the weather was very nice, seventy degrees fahrenheit, approximately, and sunny. The sun always had a red tint, you concluded, in true hell fashion. 
“I don’t know, really, it’s something I have never questioned because it is hell,” he answered. You finally reached the end of the crowd and Tyler let go of your hand, stretching as if to loosen himself up for another round in a boxing ring, “Limbo is my least favourite part of this god forsaken land,” he grumbled, his posture going back to its original, slouching state. 
“Was that the whole ring?” You asked hesitantly.  
“Oh, no, we still have three more of those barbeques to get through before we get to the camp we’re gonna rest at, then off to the second circle.” He took you by the hand again and led you toward another barbeque.
“Why is everyone so scared of you?” you asked him after a moment of silence, scared glances still being casted your way as you passed through, humans and demons alike. 
“When I got here, I was angry and wanted vengeance,” he answered, staring straight ahead and refusing to look at you, “so I not only tortured the humans sent here, but any demons that broke the rules. Of course, Brendon loved it, he rewarded me every time I made a politician cry, but it left a permanent fear in every person and other being down here.” 
Oh, joy, you thought.
