being in the hive fandom circa 2020 is like the equivalent of being a boy scout because that shit really did prepare you for anything. the 8 year bloodline hiatus. elena mom/wife discourse. the most convoluted family trees you've ever seen. who killed elena furan. what the fuck is going on with raven and nero. at one point i got so desperate for answers that i went through and counted every use of the word 'dear' in each book because i was convinced it meant something. you just had to be there

#h.i.v.e #h.i.v.e. #i have a weird kind of nostalgia for this era because the lack of answers meant that everyone came up w their own theories #like the quarantine fan revival + no concrete answers/everyone thinking we would never get answers #led to so much creativity

❤️ ✂️ 💎 for the scary doctor god Thing :D

Hi and thanks for the ask (ask game here)! I take it you want Apollo, which means it's a good time to introduce them! Here's a lovely commission piece I got of them from @hummelimhimmel :

Apollo's an OC for the H.I.V.E. fandom and is best described as G.L.O.V.E.'s head of prisoner care, the leader of the League's in-house medical organization (the Hippocratic Collective-yes the name is a pun), and at one time Overlord's personal doctor, back when he was stuck in Number One's body. Interestingly, there's also several Apollos- the current Apollo is replaced (AKA killed) by their protege Acolyte when they grow too old or breaking certain rules. Now that that's out of the way, the questions!

There are two Apollos I use frequently, so I'll answer for them both: Angel-Apollo, who was the first and Overlord's doctor, and SOOF-Apollo, or the version used in @wing-shot-first 's Sight of Our Future, in which a more modern, more adaptable Apollo appears. ❤️ - What is one of your OC’s best memories? Angelpollo: The case before Overlord kidnapped them; they successfully managed to remove a series of difficult brain tumors from a young patient and saved their life. They were very proud of that case, even if it caught Overlord's attention. SOOFpollo: The first time Sylvester (@wing-shot-first's) trusted them enough to fall asleep around them.

✂️ - What is one of your OC’s worst memories? Angelpollo: The night Overlord took them- their practice exploded, they got a serious concussion, and spent a good chunk of the night in a trunk. Not fun at all. SOOFpollo: The final battle with the Syndicate; there was a lot of death and good G.L.O.V.E. operatives were lost that day. 💎 - Do you ever see yourself killing off the OC? Angelpollo: They do canonically die already, I'm just not sure when- but eventually they break enough of their own rules that their Acolyte decides it's time for them to go. SOOFpollo:...They're too fun to kill off I'm afraid. Thanks again for the ask!

#hello hi here i am again #you guys have no idea how much i adore Apollo i LOVE them #they are a MENACE to society but also just weird #thats what happens when Overlord makes your work culture #higher institute of villainous education #h.i.v.e. #h.i.v.e #h.i.v.e. series #h.i.v.e. oc #overlord #number one #apollo #Angelpollo #SOOFpollo #bees ocs #if yall have any non-emoji asks feel free to share those too

When in doubt, grab your blorbos, shove them into colorful bottles

Deathstroke's pure white counterpart is intriguing in this context, appearing to be some sort of leader. Maybe working for the good version of H.I.V.E. the Hierarchy of International Virtous Empowerment.

hive fans, i am losing my mind that you are out there. in the year of our lord 2023. i was reading hive in fourth grade and now i am in my mid twenties. i was there on fanfiction . net and deviantart scraping together the three or four fanworks that existed circa 2009. this book caused my personality and sealed my fate. it changed me on a cellular level. otto was my first blorbo. i read every book i could get my hands on until i ran out and the sands of time buried it in my mind. and now i learn the fandom is thriving and the last book came out a few years ago?

how can i possibly be expected to cope

#my long lost fandom #who are?!?! you guys!?!?!? #i have to know are you guys 2000s kids like me or a younger generation? #what made you connect with the series (was it the powerful kids challenging tyrannical authority figures part. that was my reason) #i would give any hive fan a slice of pizza and a crisp high five #if youre out there keep holding on oppositional kid whose dad sucks. keep holding on. you'll get free someday. #:') #otto malpense #H.I.V.E #these books helped me be strong and love myself through a decade of abuse lmao okay sorry thats enough lmao

Hiiii friend do you have any HIVE WIPs to quote? (or headcanons etc?) 👀

Sorry I took so long to reply, I knew I had some HIVE fic in the works somewhere and I wanted to try and dig it out.... Anyway, have a bit of experimenting I was trying to do writing about G.L.O.V.E from an outside perspective- small Nigel Darkdoom, learning about his father's death....

“Nigel,” mum says, hastily swiping at her face and attempting a wobbly smile at him. “You remember- Uncle Max.” she waves a hand limply at the tall man in the dark suit standing by the fireplace. There’s a blood red scarf-thingy wound around his throat, and Nigel’s mind wanders to all the images of Count Dracula that had been plastered everywhere when Dad took them to that place by the sea with the ruins on the hill, and all the pirate ships. The man’s eyes are fixing on him with peculiar intensity; Nigel takes a step back and- -remembers.  “You…came for dinner, once,” he says. “You- you work with my Dad?” he brightens up. “Does this mean Dad’s going to be home soon?” Mum’s face crumples up again. “Oh baby-” “I’m afraid that there was an accident,” ‘Uncle Max’ says gravely. “Your father did not survive.”

Anyway I seem to recall abandoning this because it was it wasn't really working the way I hoped it would, although what I was aiming for I don't know....

i love spreading my hive/alex rider propaganda to anyone who will listen like here are two stories about boys who more or less had their fates decided from the moment they were born and who kept trying to fight back anyway even though they were up against an entire military complex and throughout it all they keep choosing time and time again to make the right choices instead of the easy ones. here are two stories haunted by the ghosts of parents who died years before anything really began. and also funny russian assassins lol

H.I.V.E. still has a death grip on my creative motivation (and probably will for a while), so here’s a little something I rustled up for a contest a while back- a redesign of the American cover of The Overlord Protocol, complete with Cypher in his full villainous glory! (Spoilers in the tags, btw!)

Here’s a look at the original cover, for reference:

Credit be to the original artist for it and the title and series title section; I did some cropping and cutting to pull those pieces out since I wouldn’t be able to replicate the font with my program. I love the OG cover btw, but I felt at least one of the H.I.V.E. books should have an antagonist on the cover for villainy’s sake. It was a real blast trying to figure out how to replicate the artist’s style, including all the little variations that showed up as the series went on, and I also played around a lot with perspective to try and give it the most action-packed look possible. Just a very entertaining project all around. Fun fact- I draw Cypher in what is essentially a teched-up motorcycle helmet since the “oval mask of black glass” doesn’t feel like it’d conceal his identity as well to me (some other artists make it work really well, but I wanted my design to look a little different, so here we are). Enjoy!

#cypher and his terrible attempts at problem solving #as per usual #the struggle is real between making him look like a scary villain #and an edgier version of a power ranger #which honestly kind of fits his overplayed secret identity thing i suppose #higher institute of villainous education #h.i.v.e. #h.i.v.e. fanart #h.i.v.e. series #h.i.v.e #cypher #h.i.v.e. cypher #wu zhang #another fun fact- the rifle looks weird for a reason #if you've read the books you'll know why #was it technically a pistol? #sure but i forgot that part and this looked cooler anyways #tw gun
