Hi! Your request are silly open right? If so would you mind writing something along the lines of JJ and the reader have been dating for a bit and JJ keeps like complimenting or praising the reader and the reader can’t help but blush/get turned on and JJ notices she has a praise kink so he teases her with it a little more, especially if n front of their friends until he finally used it like in bed with her?

sweet talk - j.m.

word count: 2.5k

summary: jj finds out a very valuable piece of information about you.

warnings: SMUTTT under the cut, 18+!! lotta praise, slight dumbification but just a tiny bit, jj being sexy per usual, public fooling around kinda but not really, not canon because i like to pretend the chateau is still with us LMAO

a/n: okay obviously i became OBSESSED with this idea when i first read this ask!! started as a little blurb but grew to this monstrosity lol. thank you for the ask!!! i love you all so so much 🫶🏻

Even though you and JJ have been together for about a month, you’re still pretty shy. You’re still shy in public, shy when he kisses you, even more shy in bed. Your boyfriend would give you the world if he could, do anything to get inside that pretty little head of yours and see what you’re thinking. You’re becoming a little more relaxed around his friends, which he’s grateful for.

Tonight, everyone is sitting around the fire pit outside the Cháteau. It's a pretty summer night, with fireflies darting around and stars peeking through the clouds.

You’re perched on J’s lap, John B and Sarah in a similar position next to you. Kie and Cleo are doing a shotgunning contest, and Pope is actually chill for once, a blunt in his hand.

You’re roasting a marshmallow over the fire, laughing with Sarah about a new sitcom episode, when JJ taps your arm.

“Will you make me a s’more?” he sticks his bottom lip out in a pout, and you roll your eyes.

“Can’t you make yourself one?” you tease, but still slide a graham cracker out of the box and a mini hershey’s.

“Tastes better when you make it, though.” He’s not wrong, you make a mean s’more. When you go to hand it to him, he just opens his mouth.

Your eyebrows shoot up and your jaw drops, but your lips still curl into a smile. “Fine.” You adjust so you’re facing him a bit better, and hold the s’more as he takes a bite. JJ’s blues don’t leave yours as he takes a bite, and you kick yourself mentally as he groans out of satisfaction. This shouldn’t be this attractive, after all, it’s a s’more. That's like, the least sexy food ever, you tell yourself. Now a slice of juicy watermelon, you could get behind. But right now, you’re just being ridiculous.

You’re snapped back to reality when he swallows and exhales, hand squeezing your thigh. “Atta girl. Was a damn good s’more.”

Your cheeks go fire hot.

“Dear god, this is not the place for foreplay!” John B groans.

You clap your hand over the lower half of your face as Sarah starts to laugh.

JJ throws a beer can at him. “Man, Sarah's been grinding on you for the past half hour and I haven't said shit. Are you not in like, massive amounts of pain?”

It's John B's turn to blush, and he looks down at the ground quickly when Sarah snorts, pressing her lips together in an effort not to laugh.

“Are we being too…” you’re struggling to think of the word as you whisper to your boyfriend- “Pda-ish?” Surely not, because he had a point about John B and Sarah. They’re all over each other all the time, and you should be able to do the same.

“No, no!” JJ’s eyes are wide as if you told him that you were thinking about shaving your eyebrows off. “You’re doing perfect, baby.” His hands rub up the sides of your arms, and you smile, all bashful.

Butterflies fill your stomach at the way he’s looking at you.

“Absolutely perfect,” he repeats, and before you even realize it you’re subconsciously squeezing your thighs together.

As soon as you do it, you hope he doesn’t notice, but his lips curl into a little smirk after the realization hits.

You hop up quickly, and wipe your sticky marshmallow fingers on your shorts. “I'm gonna go get a blanket! I’m a little chilly!” you chirp, and nearly sprint into the house.

Gears are turning in JJ's head. He’s chuckling as he sips his beer, so much to the point that Sarah gives him a weird look.

“What are you cracking up about?” she asks, watching the blond boy grin and shake his head.

“I just learned something very interesting about my girlfriend, Sarah.”

You come out of the house a few minutes later, and Kie has pulled out her ukulele. They’re all singing along to the Bob Marley song she’s playing, and JJ pats his thigh, an invitation for you to come back and sit on his lap. Tentatively, you take your spot, draping the blanket over the both of you. Under the fabric, your fingers shift over the frayed hem of JJ’s cargo shorts. His callused hand curls around yours, and he threads your fingers together.

You relax at his touch, and start to sing along with the rest of your friends. JJ lightly pulls on one of thin braids scattered through your messy hair, each one with a different colored thread running through it- courtesy of Kiara and Sarah. It’s nothing you’re not used to, and you turn your head a bit more toward him and frown. “What?”

“You just sound so pretty.” His voice is low, and it rumbles in your eardrum like thunder. You just know your cheeks are going pink again, and you try to fight the rising need you feel.

“My sweet, pretty girl.”

That’s it. You probably look like a tomato. You chew your bottom lip as you smile, and suppress the urge to kiss him right then and there.

JJ grins, and that’s when it hits you that he knows exactly what he’s doing to you.

“Damn, why are you all red?” Kie laughs as she hits a chord on her uke, and naturally everyone turns to look at you.

“JJ, what are you saying to that poor girl?” Sarah fake pouts and shakes her head at him like she’s scolding a puppy.

You cover your mouth, flushing even more with embarrassment.

“We’ve been goin’ on a little journey of self-discovery over here,” he answers, face all smug as his hand shifts to the top of your thigh under the blanket. His thumb just skims over the crotch of your shorts, so thin that you just know he can feel through them. Feel how wet you’re getting.

Your guess is spot on, cause his eyes widen and he does that thing where he sticks his tongue in his cheek and laughs. “Finding new things out about each other,” he continues, not breaking eyecontact with you.

“Is that a fancy way to say harassing her?” Cleo pipes in, snorting before she says, “You’re a bad, bad man, Maybank.”

He shrugs, all cocky.

Luckily, conversation carries away from the two of you, but his hand is still against your pussy. Thank God for that damn blanket. His fingers are idly running over the fabric, and it’s driving you insane.

“We need to go,” you whisper to him, uncomfortable with the burning between your thighs.

His eyebrows shoot up. “Do we?” You’re usually not the one dragging him away from social functions- that’s more JJ’s style.

You nod fervently, rocking back and forth on his thigh and trying to make it unnoticeable.

“C’mon, sweetheart, you know it’s rude to demand things,” he says back to you lowly, and you’re silently rejoicing that no one is paying attention to the two of you.

You swallow, and take a deep breath. “Please, JJ, can we leave?”

“There you go,” he sighs, and he helps push you up off him.

After a shit ton of teasing from the Pogues, you’re finally able to slip away. You’re barely through the door of your apartment when JJ jumps you, kissing you hard and running his hands up and down your sides, over your ass, and coming to rest just under the waistband of your shorts.

“Why didn’t you tell me you had a praise kink?” he asks point-blank, against your lips as you’re fumbling with his belt.

“I don’t,” you gasp out, finally pulling it through the loops and throwing it down.

“Bullshit, baby.” JJ finally gets your shorts down, and his hand just ghosts over your underwear. “Tell me the truth.”

“Fuck, J,” you whine, pushing his shorts down and trying to shove your hand down his underwear, but he jumps back, leaving you devoid of his touch.

You huff like a child preparing to throw a tantrum.

“C’mon. Tell the truth.”

“I didn’t know I had one, JJ,” you cry, just wanting to feel him. You swallow, and follow up with, “Not until you.”

You can basically see his head get bigger as he grins, and finally puts his hands back on you. “All I wanted to know, sweet thing,” he laughs before he kisses you again, tongue slipping between your teeth. He tastes like beer and a little bit of marshmallow, and he smells like bonfire smoke.

He pulls away from you just long enough for you to both throw off your shirts, and then he’s picking you up and carrying you into your bedroom. JJ sets you on the bed all gentle, a startling contrast to the way he’s kissing you and touching you, the way he yanks your panties off and slides a finger between your folds. “Fucking finally,” he groans, nudging himself inbetween your legs. “Wider.”

You fall open for him, and he braces your hip with one hand. “Atta girl,” he says, and he slides two fingers in, slow and steady as he leans over you to trail kisses down your neck. You grind against his palm as he sucks a spot on your neck, your back arching and hips bucking. You watch his hand slide into his boxers, watch the movement of his hand slide over his cock.

JJ notices how enraptured you are, and he removes his fingers from you, a little shocked when you don’t make much of a fuss. “You wanna do something for me, pretty?”

That’s all it takes for you to drop to your knees, thighs pressed together as he pulls his dick out, and you’re absolutely bewitched. You sit back on your heels and look up at JJ, a perfect little picture of innocence with your eyes all wide… and then you open your mouth.

It’s fucking pornographic. There’s no way in hell you’re real, JJ thinks, as he curls your hair around his hand and thrusts into your mouth. Your tongue swirls around him, and his head falls back. “Good fucking girl.”

He also doesn’t think you’ve ever been this bold for him. But holy shit, he’s not complaining, especially when you gag around the tip of his cock. Your mascara is smudging beneath your eyes, lips swollen and looking so pretty wrapped around him.

You’re squirming, and JJ can feel the vibration of all the little sounds you’re making as you suck him off.

“Go on and touch yourself,” he gasps out as he hits the back of your throat.

However, as soon as you moan around him, JJ knows he won’t last long, and he wants too badly to come inside you to let himself get any closer. He’s pulling out quick, ignoring your cries as he pulls you up and pushes you onto the mattress.

On your knees, you fall facefirst into your pillow. JJ smacks your ass once, and is then manhandling you into another position, like he can’t make up his mind. He spots the mirror propped against the wall in your room, and pushes you back on all fours. When you look up, you can see him behind you. You watch as he pushes into you, watch the way his eyes screw shut in concentration, the way his blonde hair sticks to his forehead.

Wriggling, you moan out his name and whine as he sets a steady pace, slow, almost too slow. “JJ…”

“What?”

When you just whimper in response, he shakes his head and stills inside you. “C’mon, darlin’, use your words,” he chides, hands smoothing over your hip.

“Go harder, please,” you’re begging, pushing yourself against him.

“There ya go,” he grunts, speeding up, pushing into you hard and deep. He smacks your ass, once, twice, relishing in the little cry you let out each time. He pulls you up against him, chest to your back, hand against your throat as he makes sure you’re looking in the mirror. Makes sure you’re watching him slide in and out of you. “Look at how good you’re taking me,” he groans, hand moving to your clit when he’s sure you won’t look away. “Go on, keep looking for me. Look at how pretty you look, babydoll. All fucked out, and your mascara is even running,” He laughs, and you clench around him at the sound, the burning in your lower stomach becoming almost unbearable. You shake your head, unable to get any words but JJ knows what you need.

He lets you back down slow, propped up on your elbows as he rams into you. You just know you’re gonna have bruising on your cervix, but that's a problem for later.

His fingers circle your clit purposed and quick, and you feel like you’re about to tip over the edge. The way he shudders inside you lets you know he’s not too far behind you.

“J, S’close. M’gonna-”

“Hold it,” he says, tone a little mean as he picks up his pace. He wants to fall apart with you.

Just when you think you can’t hold on anymore, can’t reign it in, he twitches hard. “Now, baby. Come on, all over my cock, pretty-” He cuts himself off by his own moan, spewing into you as your cunt spasms around him. “Good girl,” he repeats as he fucks you through both of your orgasms, over and over. “My good fucking girl.”

JJ is still murmuring it when he collapses next to you, kissing your forehead. “So perfect for me,” he says all soft with a smile and another kiss to your temple, a complete contrast to the low growl in his voice moments before. “Gonna clean you up real good,” he chirps before hopping off the bed and into the bathroom. You giggle as you watch him walk away, forever finding your boyfriend’s bare ass a little funny.

JJ comes back with a damp, warm towel and two glasses of sweet tea, and he gives one to you after he helps you move and sit back against the headboard. He pulls the old sex wax tshirt out of his drawer and puts it on you, then nestles himself between your legs to clean you up. You wince as he swipes the towel over your pussy, and he shushes you and puts a hand on the back of your calf, soft and comforting. “Did so good for me, honey,” he says again, kissing your forehead for what seems the hundredth time, and pulls the covers up over you both.

When you curl into him, tiredness hits you like a truck, and it seems to do the same for him as he yawns, and leans over to turn off the lamp.

“JJ?” you ask, quietly.

“Yeah?”

“So maybe you’re right. About me having a praise kink.”

He laughs, and pulls you a bit closer to him. “Yeah, no shit!”

You frown. “What? Was it that bad?”

“Damn, baby, if I woulda known you’d act like that if I talked all sweet to you, I woulda done it a long, long time ago.”

thank you for reading!! likes, comments and reblogs are always greatly appreciated!

SCAR CRIMES LIGHTING ROUND!!!

I've been getting a lot of asks in my inbox about this post relating to Scar's crimes lol.

Indeed they are.

@numbah-7-knd and @david-tennants-left-ear I've already talked about the cannibalism here, but the soul trading comes from Last Life! He made soul contracts in order to trade Lives with other players. Also he might've sold his soul to the Vex? I dunno the lore is weird so that's mostly my own headcanon lol.

@zev-the-traveler Possesion and patricide, the perfect pair! So possession is also in the weird hazy Convex lore zone, but for a while the Vex masks possessed Cub and Scar to do their shenanigans. With that context they they end up possessing False by giving her one when she helps with a prank. Source As for the patricide, that's simple! Etho is Scar's dad in the Life Series and he murdered him all three times in Secret Life. Same for Cleo's final death! :P

@welsknightenjoyer @mocah @neurotic-sinkhole and @fuck-edfrugs Ah yes, this. The Geneva Convention violation is the only crime on the list that was committed by real life content creator Scar! He used the Red Cross symbol in the Scarland medical office. However, that symbol is protected by the Geneva Convention and it's very much a crime to use it outside real Red Cross operations.

@weirdocritter Here we go!

Well, the war profiteering in S6 was kinda iconic lol. Concorp made SO many diamonds off the civil war that Scar and Cub were actually giving them away basically to stimulate the economy by the end of the season.

The cannibalism is also a fucked up favourite, that one part where he talks FAR to enthusiastically about eating the NHO is so on-brand lol.

Trading of souls is really spooky if you take it out of its original context!

Now, the one I'm most uncertain about is Oathbreaking. That happened in Third Life with the no-kill pass, especially with the Bdubs situation. That's a bit of a toss-up but considering how much they both care about keeping promises, yeah, I'd count it.

Ritual sacrifice!!!! Actually has happened like, four times on count lol. This man can NOT stop joining cults. There's the Convex Cathedral with blood on the offering altars, there's the constant boatem hole sacrifices, there's sacrificing Bdubs to the Moon, and most recently he's tried to sacrifice his friends to the Magic Mountain Bell!!! Or, well, told them they have to at least.

Ah yes, sale of human remains!!! He tried to sell Lizzie's spine (although it was prolly Jim or Mumbo cause she died in the void lol) to Joel. It's really wild when you look at it lmao.

Identity fraud is a littttle abstract, but he's worn so many random disguises and various characters that I'm almost certain there's some in there somewhere. Also, it seems pretty damn likely that Pirates Scar "murdered" S8 Tycoon Scar in order to get off the hook (pun intended) for all of his crimes.

That's a typo I swear!!! AJKSHDsfkjhfdkjsd. Anyways, I've replaced it with Treason on the OG post now.

i never really paid attention to it but wow false and ren. they really do hover around each other huh. they r like bugs

Hiii anon thanks for the ask <3 I'll use this to talk about them and them in fanon because I have thoughts woooo (and I'm vibrating with excitement because I'm listening to the HC Grand Prix at the same time)

You said it exactly— like we all know they're buddies and stick together, but most of the times, we don't really notice it because it's just natural. Nondescript even. Like of course their pixels are next to each other in the background. Of course they're hanging out. It's not flashy or anything, they're just there.

[long and winding analysis that goes off in a Direction, will definitely not be maintagged, mentions of shipping and the fandom's worst enemy (comphet / heteronormativity)]

Pairing up

They're like those anime characters who are fully fleshed out individually, but for some reason, their screentime is tied together and they're always shown next to each other. That was actually my first impression of them back when I only watched Grian in HC6 lmao, every time Grian flew over the fantasy district he would casually go "that's False and Ren's bases" and my brain was like "hmm new names :) idk who they are but they stick together :)". Like you know when you're new to an unknown cast of people so you try to comprehend and memorise them as efficiently as possible? And so you start sorting the cast into duos / groups so it's easier to remember them? That was me trying to compartmentalize the hermits in HC6. Grian + Mumbo. Iskall + Stress. Scar + Cub. Joe + Cleo. ZIT. False + Ren.

It did not help that from Grian's POV, there was a part in the civil war arc when he collabed with False to prank Ren because they thought he'd pranked her and so my brain was like "weeewoooo I still don't know who False and Ren are but they continue stick together, and that's convenient for my internal sorting :)))". And that mutual association genuinely never stopped lmao (it only got worse).

Shared audiences?

I've talked about this on privtwt: False+Ren as a fanon duo (like duo Duo as in desert duo) is strangely niche even though they do stuff together all the time and they're both fairly popular on their own. And there is so much intermingling between their audiences— I know this is the case for all hermits' audiences, but it seems especially obvious between their audiences. I know in a stream Ren said he met up with False and they had a discussion like years ago about the two of them hosting a meet and greet with fans in a restaurant (that didn't happen) and internally I was like "yeah, that'll only work if they have a solidly integrated fanbase so no one feels left out in the restaurant WAIT. That's literally what's going on here".

Funny how when I was writing this, an anon sent an ask about Ren's chat basically being full of False emotes LOL. Integrated audience kinda real <3 like, even if you only watch one of them and don't actively watch the other, you still know and think of the other fondly.

Different styles? And sticking together

Actually outside of yayyy fun minigames, to me at least they have quite different styles + ways of presentation? Which feels slightly different from the above duos I mentioned? So I totally understand why people only main one of them and don’t watch the other (but still aware of the other obviously). In terms of taste and personal preference, I’ve been here long enough to know what loyal False mains generally like and what loyal Ren mains generally like. (Like, very verrrry generally.) Ren’s the dramatic roleplay storyteller and False is like, sneaky and shifty and has a wry sense of humour. They’re both funny and charming in different ways. I would say Iskall and Stress have similar presentations (“aha? AHA?”) even though they excel at different things. Cub and False are also similar to me— competent and cool people who are nonchalantly chaotic. And we all know Ren and Martyn’s instant chemistry and their similarities. It’s why a lot of Ren fans gravitated to Renchanting and Rendoc for their dramatics and flirting in the way some False fans gravitate to Fress and Falseren for the fun/mildly hysterical/teasing/sweet/pranking moments.

BUT

False and Ren bounce off each other well— it’s the playful tension and the sudden mutual whiny energy like “noooo don’t leave me🥺” but they start hitting each other 0.5 seconds later. And of course the mutual clinginess. I know people have made jokes about how they’re both smart and competent people individually but when they get together they suddenly become the silliest sillies and share one braincell <3 and I know people (read: mutuals in my DMs) have joked about Ren’s currently extremely obvious bias for her (it's as big as the BRR sign I swear 😭) and the usual “orbiting around each other group recordings”. Compared to other duos, they don’t get paired together bc of similar presentations / style. They get paired together because of the chemistry and they share so many moments lol.

Tldr: they make for entertaining on-screen interactions. It’s fun watching them rotate around each other and punch each other off things. And they do this so much that 1) everyone’s aware of it 2) everyone’s used to it.

Branding? (Or the lack of it)

Last I checked, their tag has 46 fics on Ao3 and 16 of those fics are from me (I love being spiders georg). As with every pair that's not the juggernaut pair, realistically the actual number of fics that actually focus on them is less than what we see. And you know how sometimes for the "niche" pairs, there's more ship fic than platonic fic? (Actually I think for most pairs, there's more ship fic than platonic fic.) That's also not it, they don't even have 20 ship fics. Like clearly, the current fanon interest in them is not ship motivated versus *gestures to whatever is happening in the general shipping chaos post 2021*.

What I concluded is that they lack the kind of branding that for example Convex possesses. I think it's kind of because... they're an ubiquitous constant throughout the years. They don't need a storyline or a named group to tie themselves together. No matter what they're doing, no matter what characters they're playing, no matter which servers they're on— they just kind of stay in each other's orbits. But they don't play it up or anything like hashtag SHIPrendoc or Renskall or whatever. They don't even have a proper fanon name ffs (outside of fairy pirate grotto or whatever in HC6).

(Although imo this is likely to avoid comphet irl shipping because God forbid a man and a woman are friends :))))) heteronormative irl shipping / truthing was an annoyance for years (pre the HC6 boom). But strangely enough, modern anti hermitshippers on Twitter rarely bring up the real problem of truthing in public comments and instead target people making Scarian fanart in a small corner or whatever. When many cases of Compulsory Heterosexuality literally exist in YouTube comments. But I digress.)

Ren and False are just there, pranking each other and basing together and playing five million minigames and being casually supportive of each other. Like, their biggest shared "storyline" that left a strong impression on fans / converted fans was probably MCC9. We all still talk about it today the way Ren and Martyn still talk about 3L Renchanting. And MCC9 was in 2020 when they'd already done a lot of stuff together prior to that (eg. literally being neighbours in HC6).

And the thing is, they do collab semi-frequently. In like every Hermitcraft season. In recent memory, we've got the Blue River Raceway of course, but we also get those pranks and minigames and random silly interactions like Ren breaking into False's eagle and False pranking him at her elytra race. It doesn't need to be big and theatrical in classic Ren fashion (I remember the Renbob / Falsewell storyline in HC6; her nonchalance and confusion was so funny in contrast to Renbob's hippie demeanor).

And I kind of like the way they've kind of (?? or not???) escaped from the intense duo-ification from the fandom. Okay, to be fair, I know I am the worst offender of the duo-ification of them (with my desperate do not separate agenda), and maybe I've had a negative effect on the fandom, so feel free to throw me off my soap box. I remember how hermitblr as a collective suddenly lost it when they split in MCC17. We took them for granted, we all got to used to them being together, we got used to seeing them in the background, and then suddenly they’re not??

So we’re all kind of aware of them. But it’s not a terribly big thing…. until it is.

It's the same on the M/CC Reddit. Everyone knows they're iconic. But nobody makes a post about how we need more False and Ren duo interactions because they already interact a lot. It's just a natural constant. They don't really need a spotlight because they're just... here doing funky cute friendship stuff.

But if they ever, for some reason, become a mainstream duo on twt in its mainstream duo way with some [insert random noun] duo name, I will be so 🫠😒🔥💥🔥💥. But I literally cannot see this happening unless they team with Grian / Grian adjacent people in Life series. But even then I think they’re kinda exempt because everyone’s so used to them lol. It’s not like a shiny new uwu duo. It’s like how Stresskall is just Stresskall. Or Jleo.

(Actually, speaking of Stresskall, the entire Stress-Iskall-Ren-False group would make for an interesting fanon discussion bc it’s essentially made out of very solid and fan favourite duos. But not now. Team FRIS my absolute beloved though.)

Also, thinking about the ensemble HC fics I've read and how they're just casually kind of chilling in the background. Ren is usually paired with Doc (both platonic / romantic) but False is usually somehow mentioned in a passing comment. Same with False who's usually with the Hermitgals in ensemble fics, but there's also passing comments about her hanging out with Ren. Again, it's just a natural part of the background. Trivia that's sprinkled in between.

And that's why I think I'm so 🥺🥺🥺🥺 because it doesn't need to be big and grand... it's all the little moments <3 they have such a fun and playful dynamic and all the love for minigames <3

I don’t know if this is comprehensible or I’m just going crazy and overthinking things no one thinks about. But writing this was fun at least <3 If at least one person gets maybe 30% of this post (whatever it is), I'll be happy haha.

Act two, oh boy. Ughhguhegjeb ok good to go.

VOLUNTARY DECAPITATION???? AQUA??? WHAT IN THE RED KING IS THIS??????

Tango, the jig is up, everyone knows everything is NOT FINE dude

And here we go again, I am the Watchers' number one hater fr

Ooooooo, Helsknight mention, realization, yess

Grian's "that makes so much sense" is so funny for some reason

REN TOO LMAO. It was just another Tuesday on Hermitcraft.

Mmmm, explanation, tasty.

I wanna know more about Hels not having an admin, UGHG.

NOOOOO, NOT THE DREADED BLAZE FARM

Maybe if I turn off my computer rn, I can live in ignorant bliss.

Nope, continuing.

Reminder that the Watchers literally watch hels too, and probably knew about Tango, like at least one did. Ugh.

This whole conversation is just, ugh, like, everyone is just horrified. I mean, it's really putting into hindsight just how HORRIBLE it was, like omfg.

This explanation of how the farm works, UGH, Tango being so chill about it, UGGHH

When I first read the accident line of Etho's, I thought he meant the portal switching them was the accident, and not that Tango didn't mean for it to happen lol

Seriously Watchers are on my LAST NERVE

Tango talks so casually, omfg.

IMPUUULLLLSSSEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JIMMY DEFENDING TANGO, MY HEART

Hm, how did you not see that coming Grian? Lol

Ty so much for having all the DL people be on Tango's side, literally couldn't handle this otherwise. Cleo's statement about how could they not tell Tango was dealing with this? Mwah

OOOOOOO, Grian askin' about Hels..

???????? Was that???? Grian's voice/thoughts??? In Jimmy's head???? Hm??????

AHA IT WAS, WATCHER GRIAN

Oh, is this were the decapitation comes in?

I'm still so worried about Tango going back to Hels. Please, so scared.

Oop, Jimmy speaking back to the Watchers omfg, love it.

Tango trying to justify why he should be a damn farm, uggghhh. This is literally just him coping and stemming from trauma, and it's not even hurtful seeing as death has no consequence.

Sometimes the Watchers can be funny, as a treat, they still need to stfu.

NOT THE L WORD (love)

YEAH, JIMMY IS GROWIN A BACKBONE, GOD DAMN

AND HE SILENCED THEM, LETS GOOOOOOO

OOP "I don’t care if some random guy thinks you’re just the manifestation of all his evil- frankly, I think that says more about him than it does about you.” YEAAAAHHHHHHHH, GAG BRAVO WHEN HE CAN'T DEFEND HIMSELF (he couldn't even if he wanted to)

The l word :) (love <3)

Fade to black and back to the ranch afterwards

"My gloves" awwwwwww, they're Jimmy's gloves now ugghhfew

The DL ppl coming to help ugh, love DL

And Etho takes the comm to explain! Huh, why am I getting deja vu back to a certain Hels player hm

Petition for a oneshot where the DLers explain what happened after this is all over to X, I think that would be great.

Etho a portal expert, do you get deja vu?

LMAO, Patho said he'd need Tango's comm to confirm his theory, and now Etho says he'd need Bravo's comm to confirm his theory, my my how the turn tables have turned. Just sit these two in a room already damnit.

Atlas fr need to move on god damnit. All these issues is because of Atlas, god damn it.

MY MY, HOW THE TURN TABLES HAVE TURNED, USING TANGO'S DATA TO GET TO BRAVO?? OHO

Uhoh, I thought we could be happy and not mention the feather farm again :(

RESCUE MISSION ARC!!!!

Not the Watchers again 😭 I'll give em a pass, cause they're all moods.

I do wonder how everyone else outside of DL is handling all of them being on lock down. Can they still message, or is everyone just cut off from contacting them? How's X, an admin of a sanctuary world, reacting to this fiasco? How's fWhip, the admin of Empires, doing with a good chunk of his friends stuck in one server with minimal to no context?

Mmmm, please have the decapitation work, pleeaasssee

AQUUUUAAAAAA-

Jimmy talking back to the Watchers is my favorite Jimmy <3

Ha, take that Atlas, THE DLERS DID THE PORTAL SO FRICKIN QUICK AHA

I was so worried Tango was just gonna BOOKIT through that port 😭

??????? NO?????? NO???????? NO??????????

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

“What are you doing here?!” TANGO YOU CAN'T BE ASKIN THAT WHEN YOU'RE THE ONE WHO WENT THROUGH THE DAMN PORTAL

UGGHHHHH IM TERRIFIED FOR THE REALIZATION OF "Tango joined the game" DON'T DO THAT TO ME, UGGGHHHHHHHH

It's done, it was a roller-coaster, htp can't hurt me (for a while)

Tysm for this incredible fic <3

-🍌

ROUND TWO HERE WE GO 🏃‍♂️

‘voluntary decapitation’ got a LOT of reactions hagsjdha i didn’t know how else to put it…

one thing about tango is that he is gonna try and insist he’s fine TIL THE BITTER END like asking for help is always the very last resort for him in all facets of life. we stan an emotionally walled-up king.

obligatory ‘the watchers suck’ blanket statement 🫡

i’ve talked abt helsknight before but it was SUCH a handy way to quickly get into the explanation, like that’s the whole reason tango ever even realized he was a doppelgänger. and ofc the other hermits who were there are like ‘OH HEY YEAH wtf was up with that…’ they’re so used to having weird shit happen and then just moving on LOL

“I wanna know more about Hels not having an admin” :3

of COURSE tango had to tell them all about the horrible blaze farm while acting like he’s completely unaffected. no way was i gonna leave out any of those tasty details.

i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again: IMPULSE WAS THE MVP 💪 💪💪 even if he accidentally spooked tango in this case, it’s good to know he would go FERAL to protect his friends.

the rest of the DL gang are p great too, NO WAY they’d buy all the ‘doppelgängers are evil’ bullshit 😤 and i really don’t like mischaracterizing someone just for the sake of added drama/having an antagonist. i can just MAKE a new guy for that (hence bravo and atlas HAH)

WATCHER (kinda) GRIAN MAKES AN APPEARANCE FINALLY 💃 usually he’s more careful about not using his abilities near a listener but the situation had him frazzled.

listen. the scene where jimmy finally confronts tango about the destructive nature of his self-hatred is my FAVE. sometimes love means just being there for someone and supporting them, but other times it means laying down some hard truths. it’s the culmination of jimmy’s arc and i’m SO glad you enjoyed it.

it takes a server to rebuild a ranch 💪

i am an ethogirl first and a person second so u KNO i had to have etho lay it out for us, at the same time allowing me to draw parallels between him and patho.

i’m def not qualified to discuss fwhip or empires in general (i’m a sham, i’ve never watched any of it) but x was for SURE freaking out. this is gonna make one hell of a story (hah) for the rest of the hermits when they get back.

CMONNN i couldn’t have the decapitation work, that’d be too easy ;0

i’m cryin at ur reaction going from “I was so worried Tango was gonna book it through the portal” to “NOOOOO???? NOOOOOOOO” like damn talk about foreshadowing 😂

GLAD U ENJOYED THE RIDE we’ve still got plenty of twists and turns to come 💃 thank u for being absolutely STELLAR w the feedback!!

LOL, I love 'fun sexy times? No. Logistics'

Lizzie makes sure to drag them all into the nest whenever she can, which is like 90% if the time. Groans is...aware of the situation, so he let them use the space outside of the border- at least until lizzies heat ends, which should be by the end of the session

Gem helps get stuff for decoratiosn, cleo and pearl are on food duty, lizzie makes sure to get plenty of rest, anddd begrudgingly drinks water and eats food. Only because her mates insist though. She's lucky to have them

And if they help in more, then one way that's for them to know and keep close to their hearts (though they'll have to tell the others about her lizzie uses them like giant teddy bears later)

related ask!

Joel is the only guy allowed to visit, because that's his wife, and he's worried about her! Gotta make sure she's being looked after. He never stays too long, but leaves some clothes so Lizzie doesn't miss him too much.

Once it's over, Grian promises he'll make sure those kind of resources are available for future games. It's not fair for people to be playing at a disadvantage.

Lizzie might not mind going through the occasional heat outside the games in the future, though. You know. For hormone regulation.

asking you some easier questions. (or hopefully)

who's your favourite troll or troll pairing to write/think about?

also whats pearly up to in this au?

(also to be abundantly clear its still me, your loyal asker, ive just changed my username, i have not abandoned you i promise)

The Mummbo-Griann-Scar combo/group is probably the one I think about the most, though I also have a lot of love for my other disaster trio, Cleaoh-Eethos-Bedubs. Which is funny because I’m not a huge Clethubs person generally (nothing against it! I don’t think poorly of it or anything, I actually like it, it’s just not Ver-bait.). But there’s something about these two blue bloods that everyone finds scary & their blustering but generally amicable bronze blood quadrant mate, & the fact that if you dare touch their low blood, they will completely fuck you up. (They consider themselves in a stable 3-way auspistism, but, because this an AU made by my queer ass self, they tend to drift around the quadrants a bit. Nothing as…. Intense as Scar & Griann, but sometimes one of them will be feeling pale or flushed towards another & they just roll with it like it’s nbd. & occasionally, Bedubs lets Eethos & Cleo drift a bit more pitch. You know. As a treat.)

Relatedly, I personally subscribe to the thought that an auspistism can be either two or three trolls: you’ve got dynamic auspistices, where they generally act as this meme for each other

& then there’s stable auspistisms, where one party is consistently auspistizing for two others. I can’t back this up at all with Homestuck canon, but it was a fairly common head canon for a bit back in the day & I like it so in the AU it goes!

Anyway, back to the question. It’s really funny, because I’m sooooo hype for so many of the characters & spend so much time thinking about all of them, but I just keep drawing Eethos instead of any of the many other trolls I still need to make art for. I think it’s because his cartoon moose antlers delight me so. (Also there’s just something about characters with pale/white hair that gets me every time. Every single ship I’ve ever been properly feral for has included at least one pale haired dude & I still cannot figure out why. Also they all have red eyes. Fuck.) (Note: I’m not including Scarian in that because while I am devoted to Scarian, it’s not like how I am over SmallEtho. I am unhinged about those two lol.) (Nevermind, my fiancé just pointed out that my first ever ship— Zutara—didn’t include a pale haired dude with red eyes, just every single one since then.)

Okay, so Pearle. From what I’ve got figured out, she starts out on the same ship as Scohtt, Jimmie, Martyn, & Wrehnn, as she & Scohtt are moirails at that point. Post-Double Life, Pearle ends up a bit sour about how Scohtt acted towards her, & winds up deciding to spend some time on another ship. For a while she hangs out with Bigbee on his tiny transport ship, but it is, you know, tiny, so Bigbee introduces her to Gem, a defected Alternian military officer who is currently wandering space doing piracy. Pearle & Gem hit it off & Pearle joins Gem on her (slightly) larger ship.

After Limited Life, they both move on to the Tangoh-Impuls-Skizzl ship for a variety of reasons. For one, they want to be more connected to Pearle, & eventually Gem’s, VLARP friends & honestly the crew of that ship has the least amount of nonsense happening out of anyone. But also, Gem’s ship doesn’t have the speed that Impuls can make happen, & the Alternian military isn’t taking too kindly to Shiny Duo’s piracy & connections to the resistance. So, when Gem’s ship gets burned (as in it is no longer capable of going undetected), it’s the last straw pushing them to join up with another group. As of post-Secret Life, the five of them are all still living harmoniously on the ship together, though they sometimes have additional guests (mostly Jimmie but Bedubs as well).

As for what Pearle is doing outside of where she lives, crime, mostly. She helps Gem with piracy for a while & once they properly join the resistance, Pearle runs a lot of operations type stuff.

A fun fact about Pearle: She is actually also a mutant like Griann, though hers presents as moth wings she keeps hidden & secret.

Thoughts so far while watching episode 4 of S3 OBX

John b being shook over his father’s actions is interesting to see considering how much bs he’s currently into lol

But old man’s kinda a bit obsessive when it comes to these artifacts — yeah yeah it’s ur thing or whatever but you allowed your son to think you were with the water Christ over this shit and you done resurrected and are still at it like?? Get it together four eyed Tarzan

Kie not bothering to mention that she was held up in a room with Rafe will probably come back to bite her in the ass…as usual

We love to see the bonding between Pope & Cleo!!! 🫶🏽

Barry’s hair is…a choice.

Lunatic Rafe’s hair > Barry’s

But love “he’s got my check.”🤭

Side note in regards to Jiara so far—I personally didn’t mind it in the beginning like season 1 but then certain fans had to take it to the extreme to the point it’s apparently reflecting outside of the show which is…idk whack? So it’s not really my top ship or I don’t really care for anyone to be shipped atp lmao I’m just here for the good ‘ol platonic friendship group!

Just me I guess. ☕️

I’m not going to say Jiara is coming out of nowhere because I do agree there were hints of it back in the previous seasons, however it does seem like they’re pushing that fan service—only because—we missed a huge portion of those two privately bonding on that island.

No we didn’t need a whole dragged out episode or more to see that but I would like to see at least a damn flashback. Mind you, I’m only! On episode 4!! Yes they’re acknowledging it now (with it still feeling like jj cares how it’ll make pope feel? Don’t like that. Man is still hurt obviously. Glad Cleo is there to take his mind off the foulness of it all) — good for them yet I still feel like it’s bad timing idk but to each their own.

Still don’t agree with these writers having Kiara go from one to next (from kissing John b, then worrying about how JJ feels about that, to having a night with pope but lacking the proper communication on what the intentions of their romantic relationship was and just down right being cold to my guy, to circling right back to wondering about the what if’s with JJ like??? I get it they’re teenagers and you’re not going to have it all together but it’s one thing after another can we relax?) and it feels hinted that’s what her mother did? From being a kook hinting that she messed around with pogues (possibly JJ’s own father or at least there’s some form of history there between them based off his drunk-tellings idk) + marrying a pogue—kie’s father?

I felt like it was implied that’s the side he came from when her mother spewed her hatred for the pogues at kie who wants nothing but to be declared as such but then they’re so hypocritical!!! trying to forget their own skeletons—if you want to even call it that

So it’s basically history repeating itself and I did a whole mini think-piece on why I’m not feeling jiara romantically. Yes there was a sprinkle of chemistry but in the long-run I don’t think it would work. Ship has sailed and they should have thought about that before they decided to do that bs with Kiara & pope 💯

Give Kiara a gf atp 😜 or maybe not worry about the romance…considering they’re all constantly watching their backs rn?

First and foremost, well done on a season, three recap of OBX 👏🏾 you never cease to fail, with being thorough with your communication and personal opinions on the show with valid insight that ( I feel) gives the pates a run for there money if they ever get a chance to listen to your podcast.

Now..

It was ABSOLUTELY frustrating not seeing the group together building friendships as it’s been in the OG seasons. If there’s any main reason the season suffered it’s because of that for sure.

Im happy big John had his one season and got out😂 that dude messed up half of the season pulling John b away from the group for his treasure hunt. And even when they all United, the guy definitely showed his true shallowness.

But it makes sense on why you mention what Cleo said with pope. “You have a lot to lose before you have nothing” this phrase is the staple of this season as there never really all together. By the end of it they remember they really only have each other to lose. P4L

And I don’t believe the pates are gonna grant your wish of taking topper fully out sadly. On all the OBX 4 promotion stuff toppers tagging along with them everywhere they go. But as long as sarah struggles with daddy issues topper will always be on the back burner lol.

Similar to you I don’t understand why they don’t go deeper with Mike’s past. ( hopefully I’m not speaking to soon😬) but if jiera is gonna be a thing in season 4 I feel like they should atleast explore it more.

- Rafe looks like the type to bring a gun to a fight so I’m not sure I wanna see him and fight JJ. This could be crazy to say but I can see rafe being hell bent on revenge towards the pougues in season 4 and either switching sides help them for some crazy reason. I low key don’t want to lose rafe though he is a lunatic.( but I’m not as good as you are with these prediction 😂)

What I would love for you to talk about in a future episode on diver down:

- a recap of jirera journey of a friendship to relationship from season 1-3

- what might Cleo’s past look like and how will it effect pope or the group?

- now that the pogues will be on a completely new adventure with this new treasure opportunity do you think along they the way a new Pogue gets introduced? Since everybody else is boo’d up 😂 now.

-As you said I look forward to seeing them go back to the basics of what the organic OBX shows was I hope they don’t Rush too much into heavy drama right off the back in season four and they allow us to adjust to the characters and how they’ve changed for ATLEAST two episodes.

Thank you for the season three recap 🤘🏾🥂

first off, thank you so much for always taking the time to be so kind and supportive and to start discussions like these!!!! it's all very very much appreciated and i'm really grateful to be a part of this community that's so passionate about our stupid little boat show 🤗

i already talked a ton about the lack of pogues and Big John and the nothing to lose theme, so i'm gonna skip over to the Topper topic cause shocker, i still have more thoughts about him. i really do have faith that the pates have finally decided on treating him as a fully antagonistic force against the pogues, which includes Sarah, and i absolutely cannot see her ever going back to him again. ever. if the pates even hint at that, i will take back everything i ever said about them slowly but surely taking more care with writing their female characters. i think her entire arc this season was her facing her fears of vulnerability and finally, fully allowing herself to rely on the pogues and to be part of that family. i don't think she's going anywhere, but especially not back to Topper. i really really want Jarah B to be solid moving forward, at least in s4. it'd be so nice to have them as like the steady married couple while Cleope are in the honeymoon stage and Jiara are probably gonna have to face more angst from outside forces. but even if Jarah B have their issues, i really don't think Topper will be involved. it was heavily implied in episode 9 that the pogues realized that it was him who burnt down the Chateau, so i just could not imagine Sarah having even a sliver of sympathy for him anymore. whatever he ends up doing in s4, Sarah won't be looking his way. if the pates have any respect for her character, that is.

moving on to the Rafe and JJ point, i could definitely see Rafe just constantly walking around with a gun now, but i'd like to think that JJ is scrappy enough to be able to disarm him so it'd be an even fight. you'll have to pry my wish for a Rafe/JJ fight out of my cold, dead hands i swear!!!! but really though, even if they don't have a good old fashioned fist fight (which i feel like were also lacking in s3 cause there were so many damn guns instead 😒), i'd still love to see them have more interactions in s4 anyway. i feel like they haven't had a scene together in ages, and with Rafe having his weird soft spot for Kie, i feel like the potential is just staggering for some really great conflict there and protective boyfriend JJ moments, which i hope the pates know would make everyone absolutely feral. even before Jiara was a thing, Rafe knew that calling Kiara "pretty hot for a pogue" in front of JJ would piss him off, so 👀👀 imagine the kind of shit he could pull knowing that they're actually dating now

and i'd like to hear more about your Rafe prediction cause i'm intrigued but don't fully understand it!!

thanks so much for sending topics for me to talk about in the next episode, i'm excited to think about them more!

more progress! I have now expanded the house; exterior design, as well as the unseen extra rooms in the main area there which’re the bedroom in the back, the reading/office room on the left, the bathroom on the right, and the upstairs which I WANT to make a library but right now is mostly filled with random furniture LOL I’ve also moved the house and done some terraforming, in that I have a little main road there with the shops with my orchard in the back, a decorated campsite, and a little neighbourhood of my villager houses! I still have a long way to go though LOL

I gotta build the gym and potential park, as well as fully finish the little reading nook I tried to make - all in a days work! but I’m excited for halloween and already got my halloween decorations from nook’s cranny as you can see, and am looking forward to when the actual day comes.

we also got a new villager! I still have yet to get my 10th, but then cleo (who was fine, but just in terms of my own villagers, my least liked) voiced a desire to move, and I thought it might be interesting to see who else we could get. I wanted another normal, as they’re usually very sweet and pretty easy - and it only took my second mystery nook ticket to find norma! she’s a pretty pink cow and is so cute, so that was a good choice.

but mostly the big thing, is that I finally caved and bought happy home paradise - and that’s where most of my acnh time has sunk LOL I won’t bore you with the details, so I’ll just put some of my favourite designs/clients underneath the cut-off. I’m really looking forward to finally being able to re-make my own villagers homes - especially those who have fuck all in their houses, they’re definitely in need of a makeover! LOL

more to update, once I finally get started on my own island again LOL

to start off, of course, the obligatory first house that I did, which was for olivia - unsurprisingly bad, but for a first timer I’m still glad of the work I did LOL

roscoe! roscoe I really loved, the second I saw him on the beach and all alarms blared going “emo horse!!!!!!!!” LOL he was actually the first one I looked up to see their colour palate and their interests to decorate the house. I don’t actually have any cranky types on my island, and I always said I didn’t want one, but I think if I get some ambiio cards and I land him, he’s definitely coming over X)

my second favourite client probably, dizzy! he was just so cute and adorable, impossible not to love. he wanted a playroom, and I actually think I did I good job on that (though you can’t really see the toy section from this angle but this was the best photo LOL). he’s another I want to get if I get his ambiio card.

here’s huck! this one I like especially, bc his theme was that he wanted a room to have adventures. I have a habit when home building to just, like, put things in corners (the bed, t.v & couch, kitchen or bathroom, etc) to make sections and I end up doing that with a lot of the homes, but with this one instead I thought to mix it up. I put in a little cave, and then built around it with a sleeping bag and campfire and whatnot to make it seem like he was a travelling adventurer, taking shelter there for the night. I think it turned out nice!

my most recent! sterling said he wanted a ‘sci-fi’ theme, which I immediately jumped on - and had so much fun doing. I built him a little base control in the centre, then, as if he was on a travelling ship like the enterprise, a bunk-bed, a rec corner with a tv and couch, and a kitchen full of stocked food cans and synthetic meals LOL

here’re some yards I’m pretty proud of - the insides meh, but I liked how the outsides turned out, of both melba who wanted a ‘fairytale’ theme and tipper who wanted a farm, respectively

and here’s just some rooms I think turned out nice or a just enjoyed LOL

this is just a fun one, from when I got assigned the restaurant make-over; during the clip show you get to see after, there was a moment where curt just stopped here and fully stared at me for a good few full seconds - I think he’s pissed I didn’t leave him any counter space LOL

and finally, here’s a cute photo of me and wardell

#animal crossing #animal crosing new horizons #acnh #animal crossing happy home paradise #acnh hhp #I'm definitely not at the type of skill of some of the designers or terraformers #I don't know how ppl plot out those islands with such specific layouts that're full with all those little details #but considering I started out having no idea how to even plot my island I'm happy with where I've gotten

Superheroes

------

Fairytales

cw: blood manipulation and dead alien lol i think that's it!

------

Red.

It was all red.

The sky. The ground. The bodies that lay on the ground too. Everything was red.

And it was all Elliot’s doing. They had ripped the blood from Starro’s now dead corpse, channeling it into an upwards stream of biblical proportions. If anyone hadn’t been aware of the fight with Starro, they were at least aware that something was going on, seeing as there was an ominous fountain of red spouting as high as the eye could see.

They were screaming, they realized, as they channeled the blood of the fallen beast upwards into the sky. It was odd, as if their body were acting independently of their mind. Elliot was perfectly aware of what they were doing, but only as an observer, as though they were trapped behind a glass wall, watching themself do these nightmarish things.

They watched as the blood of Starro and its victims coalesced in the sky as a horrible red cloud before they felt themself collapse into the ground and the epic amount of blood came raining down all over Corto Maltese.

The grief Elliot felt was felt all over Corto Maltese as splatters of bloody raindrops hit the skin of people across the island.

“Elliot..” came the gentle voice of Cleo, “it’s dead now, you can stop…”

Elliot didn’t think they were going to be able to speak but despite it all they spoke in a tiny, broken voice, “I know. But so is he.”

Cleo knelt down beside Elliot, wrapping them in a hug. As they did so, the rain of blood continued to fall over them. Elliot choked out a sob.

“He’s gone.”

Cleo rubbed small circles into Elliot’s back, hoping to soothe them if only a little. It didn’t work.

Slowly but surely the rest of the team made their way towards them, converging on the spot where Abner Krill had died.

Nobody spoke a word. The only sounds were the steady pitter patter of blood rain and the occasional intermittent sob from Elliot.

People came to pay their respects. Respects to the man who had helped save the island nation of Corto Maltese, and quite possibly, the rest of the world. Respects to a hero. A superhero.

But soon enough, they were gone again, back to their own lives, families and loves. Lives that Abner had saved. At the cost of his own.

‘How ungrateful they all are’ Elliot thought bitterly, ‘they don’t have a clue what he saved them from, do they?’

Each of the remaining members of the team approached Elliot in their own time, each trying to offer some sort of consolation to them.

But soon, they too left as well. Even Cleo, Elliot’s closest friend outside of Abner, eventually left, preparing to board the helicopter sent to retrieve them.

Elliot didn’t move. The rain had stopped now, leaving them a sticky blood soaked mess. The rest of it soaked into the ground beneath them.

There was no point. There wasn’t a life to return to. Not without Abner. Sure, they were free now, thanks to Robert’s brokering with Waller but what was freedom without Abner if not just another prison?

As that thought ran through their head, they howled and hit a fist against the ground.

It rumbled.

Elliot stopped, looking confused. Was that them? No, it couldn’t be. They weren’t that strong.

As they considered the possibility of an earthquake, the ground rumbled again and Elliot peeked into the hole in the concrete where Abner had died. Inside, amongst the twisted rebar and rubble, a soft glow was being emitted. They watched, enraptured, as the glow grew brighter and more piercing, soon turning to a scorching neon bright light that nearly blinded Elliot.

Then came the polka dots.

Polka dots, in every color imaginable and then some. They flew out every which way and Elliot had to duck to dodge them. They watched as the mass of light coalesced into a shape. The shape of a man. The shape of Abner.

They couldn’t believe it. And yet there he was, heaving breaths in and out, alive and tangible. As Elliot processed this miracle, they rushed over to help clear the concrete and rubble away from Abner so he could get out.

As soon as he was free he tackled Elliot in a kiss, holding them so tightly it almost hurt a little. Elliot didn’t mind. Eventually, breathless, they pulled away from each other and looked into each other’s eyes, just taking in the sight of the other.

“You can’t just die on me like that..” said Elliot, smiling a bit, to which Abner replied with the utmost sincerity, “I won’t, I promise. After all, we promised we’d die together and we’ve still got a long ways to go before I’m ready for that to happen.”

Elliot looked at him stupidly as they processed the fact that he had just promised them a life together. They leaned in to kiss him again, this time more gently, almost afraid he might disappear.

As they turned to look around, they realized that the entire team had come back, and were now looking on in awe and shock at the miracle that had just occurred. A miracle no one had believed in. And yet.

“You guys came back” Elliot said. It was almost a question but not quite.

Harley nodded, grinning widely and Cleo rushed over to pull both Elliot and Abner into a hug. Harley, seeing an opportunity for a group hug, rushed in as well. Nanaue also joined in. Soon enough everyone was holding each other. They’d lived through the worst together. Better things were on the horizon.

As the group hug dissolved and everyone made their way to the helicopter, Elliot and Abner hung back a moment.

“So, are you ready to have that coffee shop date now?” Abner asked. The intonation was that of a joking question but the sincerity in his eyes told Elliot that he was serious.

“We are going to do everything we ever dreamed about doing now. And we’re going to do it together.”

Abner reached for Elliot’s hand and they let him take it, taking his in their own. The two walked hand in hand to the helicopter that would take them to their newfound freedom.

In that moment Elliot realized that sometimes superheroes are real. And sometimes fairytales exist. And sometimes we get our happy ending after all.

you have only 2 cats, right? can you let us know more about their personalities? 🥰 which one meows the most? do they ever fight? were they from ur childhood home & u brought them with you at your apartment? does jayson have pets at his parents?

Yes, Earl and Lulu!

Earl is a huge scaredy-cat. I think when people coined that term, he's the cat they were thinking about lol. He's very skittish, the type of cat where even just a yawn can have him bolting... and then he very quickly does a little ashamed walk back to you, realizing he overreacted. He has a lot of energy, and loves to play, both with toys and with your hands. I love to do a lot of "light" roughhousing with him, where we tussle lol!! He's quite the jumper as well, I've seen him clear jumps that I think are impossible.

Lulu is a lot lazier than he is. We think she's blind as well, or at least, has extremely limited sight, which I think attributes to her "laziness". If a toy isn't directly in front of her, she doesn't have any care for it. She loves food, and will try to eat just about everything, even if it's definitely something she won't like (such as veggies). I've had moments before where she jumps up next to me while I'm eating, and before I know it, she's shoved her face into the food. I've had to clean yogurt off her face more times than I can count lol. She also loves to go outside, so we're working on harness training so she can go for short walks!

Earl in general, talks a lot more. He'll meow over anything. If you lay down next to him, he'll chirp until you pet him. If you have food for him, he'll meow until he's eating it. And, if he's sleeping in a different room, and then gets hungry and passes you on his walk to his food dish, he'll let out a series of mews to say hello as he passes. He also does a billion mrrps while you pet him. Lu doesn't meow nearly as much, but when she does, she makes it count. She has these angry screams she does when you won't give her tuna juice, or when she wants to go on the balcony and you're not paying attention. She may also do a little angry meow if you come home and don't greet her right away.

They play fight sometimes! Earl usually instigates it, and Lu plays until she's tired. And once she's tired, she'll growl at him - she sounds like a Big Cat when she does it, I swear I've never heard a house cat growl like she does lol. And it always scares him off.

Yea! I got them for my 13th birthday I believe? And I left them with my parents while I was homeless. But once jayson and I moved in together, I brought my cats.

Jayson's always had cats! When I met him, his parents had two, a one-eyed Persian named Pete, and this stunning long-furred girl named Cleo. Pete unfortunately passed away last year, but Cleo's still going strong! She's 18 or 19 years old, and frail as hell, but has such a personality!

OKAY I HAVE SOME THINGS TO SAY AND QUESTION:

AND THERE ARE SO MANY SPOILERS FOR THE HERMITCRAFT SEASON 8 FINALE SO COVER YOUR EYES AND SKIP THIS POST IF YOU DON’T WANT THEM PLEASE:

…okay is everyone good? Nobody going to be unexpectedly spoiled? Excellent.

The Hermatrix with Ren and Doc is glorious. It really is. The dedication put into that storyline is clear to see, and I got emotional when I saw the finale for it. (Of course, I then proceeded to literally yell aloud “OH NO” when I saw the vine thingies on the ship’s rocket-thingy (propulsor? Repulsor??) but I digress. Those things are TROUBLE!)

It’s beautiful. Another really really cool Rendog-produced season finale, with Docm77’s incredible work added in. It gives the entire Season closure, because now we don’t have to worry that some of the Hermits literally just died a fiery moon-induced death. The fact that it also semi-cameoed in Grian and Tango’s videos were really cool too (Grian got a Hermatrix book after they killed him and Tango fought Grumbot in space on his way to the moon- later, we’re shown a clip of Grumbot and Jrumbot, who are integrated into the Hermitcraft transport ship. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!)

(To be fair it could be a complete coincidence tho lol)

But my question is: what the heckity heck does this mean for the Boatem, Xisuma, and ZombieCleo post-credits scenes? I haven’t quite gotten to everyone’s finale, but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen most of them, so if there’s another post-credits scene I’ve missed then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ whoops.

Cleo’s is pretty simple but extremely angsty- upon fleeing to the End, she finds that the portal where the Dragon Egg usually rests is deactivated, showing that the Overworld was destroyed and she has no way home. She falls to her knees in despair. At this point, we can assume that she wakes up in the Transport ship and falls back asleep for the next season- but maybe her dreams are of isolation? Trapped alone in the End, with no idea of who survived? We can only assume because we don’t know what they dream in cryostasis. I hope she dreams of Joe teasing her for thinking they wouldn’t survive. I hope Joe is actually there teasing her, because this entire dream and cryostasis thing is insane 0.o

Now, Xisuma’s cutscene showed Evil X’s place being crushed by the moon too, and Ex grumbling about how he was betrayed. I haven’t exactly been following X’s perspective (I want to sit and binge once I have more time. Things Happen and I have a lot to catch up on lol), but does this mean Evil X was simulated the entire time? Or is there a Hels!Simulation that they (Ex’s hels!hermits??) were going through? Maybe it’s Xisuma’s perspective of what he thought would happen to his clone-brother-thing? I dunno. Interesting to think about. At least X is back to his former self!

And finally, last but certainly not least, Boatem. The quintet of Trouble™. They’re in the Void now, waiting for the next season. Are they there in their dreams? Are there going to be consequences of floating in the void for however-many-weeks until Season 9, even if it’s simulated? They only have each other right now. We can assume that they are going to float (or at least, dream of floating) for a long time. Or maybe that was before they woke up in the ship? I’ve had dreams where it felt like hours had passed, only to wake up a literal minute later. Maybe it was time distortion and now they’re all in a different simulation together. Hm.

Actually, for that matter, what the heck is up with Mumbo and Grian’s soul situation now? Was that even real? Was Mumbo’s shapeshifting a glitch in the Hermatrix? Does Mumbo actually share Grian’s soul now, outside of the ship, or was that just confined to the simulation made to protect them all?

(Can i just say that Grian is a mad genius. I was on edge the entire finale, wondering why the heck he would let himself stay on half a heart, and then he asked Mumbo to high five him, which ruined Mumbo’s no-kill streak. Literally the last moments of season 8. Oh my god that was such a big brain play, I watched it three times over and I couldn’t stop laughing at the pure shock and disbelief in Mumbo’s voice.)

Those are my thoughts on the situation. Guess we’ll just have to wait until Season 9! Thanks for the wonderful first season (for me, at least. ;D). Looking forward to what comes next!

Currently have a bit of Last Life brainrot with the final showdown between Scott and Ren. Mostly with the concept of Ren being in his full werewolf form as he fights Scott. When Ren finally died he had so many arrows in him... Really shows how much strength and skill it takes to take down a full grown werewolf on the night of a full moon, huh? (Possibly a blood moon, if we wanna get dramatic lol) Killing Martyn was a walk in the park compared to taking out Ren... Maybe thats why he left him as the final kill and let Ren take out Pearl. Whether it be fear of what he'd face (given how he literally witnessed Skizz getting ripped to shreds), or waiting and seeing how tired Ren would be after the battles, Scott definitely pulled some moves that ultimately saved him in the end.

🐺

God what good brainrot to have alksdfjaksd. TBH when Ren's final episode came out and I saw how much he tanked I thought the exact same thing.

[Also there's a bit of a fic drabble under the cut because this got me thinking about Scott and Ren's showdown alskdfaskl].

Scott knows a bit about the supernatural. He's been in many SMPs where magic was a big player - though to be honest he would much prefer being in one of them now, instead of this one. At least with a blood moon risen, he might have some magic of his own. That's not how Last Life works, of course. The magic of Last Life - if you can call it that - is only good for one thing: making what you are, who you are, monstrous. And Scott? Scott is, for the most part, human. He's cunning. He's skilled. He's a quick thinker. But Scott is human. His cunning is a little more deadly, his thoughts a little more cruel, but the blood moon on the final night of Last Life doesn't make him monstrous. Him and Martyn have something in common that way. Martyn. And perhaps that's why he's so easy to dispatch in the end. Martyn is like him - he's scared, he's only as deadly as his next knee-jerk reaction. The arrow that kills him is almost an accident, fired half-drawn, half-between the observation that Martyn has placed an end crystal and that Scott himself is just out of range.

Pearl, Scott was scared of Pearl, a little. She favored him - he'd made sure of that. He'd kept his alliances as long as he could, even while the blood moon was rising. Even while Pearl seemed to reflect it more and more. Eyes red, demeaner charged. Fearless. When she'd taken Martyn's yellow life she'd done it laughing, and mocking. It was terrifying. Scott wasn't quite sure what Pearl was, outside of not human. He was lucky then, that Ren attacked her first. Lucky, but he wished she'd won.

Ren also wasn't human. Scott had caught a glimpse of it when he and Cleo had gone to rescue Ren from Skizz and Impulse. He'd caught a glimpse of sharp teeth, crushing jaws, a looming shadow - though he had noticed long before then that sometimes Ren's eyes caught in the light, reflecting in the way a human's eyes did not. He'd caught a glimpse when Ren had torn Skizz apart, and then he'd been normal so quickly. He had a disarming smile, a nervous disposition, but when he walked his footprints were a little deeper than you'd expect from someone of his size. It seemed to Scott as the world of Last Life ran it's course, that Ren seemed like there was always something underneath his skin waiting to burst and break free.

When they had gone to stand on the four corners of the map for the final battle, when the sun was high and bright, and Joel and Grian's blood was still drying in the grass, Ren had been human. Well - he had looked human. What sank fangs deep into Pearl's throat, what sent her wolves wailing and whining and cowering in it's wake, what rose with the blood moon, that wasn't human.

The habit of the magic of Last Life was to make things monstrous, to inspire fear. And yet, Scott got the distinct impression that Ren was always a monster. When those eyes, red in reflected moonlight turned to Scott, when that body bristled and the mouth snarled, it did so with all the power and ferocity of something quite at home in its body. Not with the nervous awkwardness of a person given great power they weren't used to. It struck Scott now as he stood, bow half-drawn, that maybe Ren's nervous disposition was because he felt foreign in his human skin, and maybe this better reflected what he was used to being. In the cut-time of adrenaline, that made the most sense to him.

Scott knows a bit about the supernatural. But he would be the first to admit he'd never really had to deal with a werewolf before. He could count it as bad luck that his first dealing with one was in Last Life.

Scott fired his bow and ran off into the woods.

Humans and wolves had a complicated history. They domesticated each other. They made war with each other. In a world where humans tamed the wilderness through endurance, by pursuing a dying animal slowly until it fell, wolves were the only creature in the world that managed to keep up. It made sense then, that humans and werewolves were equally oddwise and complicated. Werewolves were a curse and a boon. They were at times bloodthirsty, a curse that carved itself through villages and townships, at others sagely advice-givers, masters of the woods, a helping hand. Scott had fooled himself into thinking Ren was the latter, leaning on his ferocity only when he had to. He was friendly, accommodating, a weredog maybe, if he was were-anything and not just a friendly guy with an enjoyment of dramatic roleplay. The Ren chasing him through the woods now certainly a wolf, the ravenous kind, the fairytale I-ate-the-entire-village-and-still-had-time-to-slaughter-the-sheep-for-fun kind. But Ren was wounded, and Scott was not, and he needed to keep it that way. He'd taken several shots at Ren over the course of the fight, though Ren had always gotten away. Pearl wasn't human, she was a fierce nightmarish creature, and she had done a number on him as well, before she'd died. Martyn had tried to as well, but Ren was too quick for him, his reflexes too sharp when he was cloaked in fur. Too fast. Too fast.

Ren pounced on him through the trees - when had he gotten in front of him? - and it was only quick reflexes that had Scott pulling his bow back and firing an arrow between the two of them. It sunk up to the fletching in Ren's shoulder, and the monster didn't slow. But he did stumble, and Scott fired three more shots in the time it took Ren to scrabble his claws in the grass and lunge again for him. All three arrows hit, and Ren kept moving.

When Martyn had died, he had dropped a weakness potion and half a stack of arrows. Scott shoved his hand in his pack and reached for both in the same motion he dove around a tree away from Ren's claws. Werewolves were faster that humans. Werewolves were stronger. If the number of wounds matting Ren's fur with blood was any indication, werewolves just had more vitality in general. This was maybe a fight he shouldn't have saved for last. He maybe shouldn't have dragged his feet so much when he went to Pearl's aid. Taken a few seconds to aim better instead of hitting all the wrong wolves. At least against Pearl, Scott would have been fighting a familiar face.

Ren's teeth leaped out for Scott from the darkness, and Scott smashed the weakness potion in his face. Ren howled, scrubbed the broken glass away with the back of a massive clawed hand and turned to Scott snarling; only mildly inconvenienced by the same black ichor that Scott had seen bring warriors to their knees. Scott let out a withering sigh and pulled back his bow, knees bent, ready to run away again, "Just die, Ren."

The werewolf flashed him something that was probably a grin, though it was mostly just teeth. It occurred to Scott that maybe Ren was fully aware of how scary he looked, and took some amusement in how disheveled Scott was in comparison.

Last Life was a game for monsters, but Scott was human. He had at his disposal only the things that had kept humans alive for so long as they had been - he made friends, he was cunning, and he endured. As he loosed his next arrow, as Ren lunged for him again, he decided he would endure this too. It was the only thing being human was good for.
