Something I noticed recently is some hermits have a SEVERE lack of fics centered around them, like I get that people either don’t watch someone or just genuinely don’t know how to write them but I’d love to see more of the underrated hermits get the spotlight in the fics! So here’s my list of “hermits that need more fic centric things!”
Mainly because most fics I see are usually mumbo, Grian, and scar centric
All of these are my opinion and if you want to add something yourself feel free
Zed
Wels (mainly without hels because many people just use him for the sake of hels :/ )
Hypno
Xb
Keralis
Joe
Jevin
Tango
impulse (I AM BIASED GIVE ME THE MAIN CHARACTER PLOT ARMOR MAN HIS FICS)
Skizz
Joel
Xisuma
Pm all the hermit gals
Iskall
Bdubs
Etho
Doc
Ren
TFC (I understand tho if you don’t have the mental strength or just can’t write tfc I get it)
But in all seriousness I’d LOVE more fics of these guys and gals (especially ZITS)

At this point I’m genuinely interested in knowing where the term Tango of the Tek variety comes from. Like is it just something that has a nice ring that spread around, is it based of something he said, or is it from somewhere else? I dunno lol.
That being said it’d be really funny if we just started applying that naming scheme to other hermits/lifers even if it only really works with the 2/1 syllable structure lmao. Like imagine.
Cleo of the Zombie variety.
Mumbo of the Jumbo variety.
Joe of the Hills variety.
Skizzle of the Man variety.
GoodTimes of the Scar variety.
SmallBeans of the Joel variety.
Smajor of the Scott variety.
Etho of the Slab variety.
Etc.

Okay. so. basic breakdown of the dragonfrost au goes as such.
You have Tango, a young adult dragon (young in dragon years, not mortal years) who lives in the deepfrost citadel-- or more specifically, below it. his hoard is below the burning dark, in a room that takes puzzles to get to. (think the control room puzzle).
He likes people, but has that dragon lifespan and semi-alien morals due to being. well. a heckkin dragon. He's lawful good, and while he doesn't seek out 'bad' people to do vengeance, he will test and judge and 'play' with anyone he comes across. He believes that adventurers are primarily greedy and selfish and will do anything for their own gain. proven time and time again by people trying to steal his hoard. No one has succeeded. ever.
The he visits the village at the bottom of the mountain a lot, and sees it as part of his 'domain' and under his protection. Mostly cause the people there are nice to him and just people trying to live and be good people, yah know? They have the Tango stamp of approval. The people there know 'Tango' as a odd wanderer who is the only one to survive going up to the Citadel, for some reason. They know there's something up there, and while some people suspect it's a dragon, but other people think it's other things, and what do they gain by angering whatever it is? Tango knows more than he lets on, surely. He's gotta be like, a spokesperson for the dragon or something.
Anyway. Jimmy is a canary Avian, and the little scraplet i wrote is more of a prologue-ish bit. Jimmy has a slight magic that lets him sense immediate danger, but the troupe he adventures with always underestimated him and never trusted his danger-sense. He was traveling with them because his family ended up in debt to some powerful people. He was the one who took it upon himself to work off as much of the family debt as he could manage, and as such-- adventurer. He sorta acts like 'the party npc' a lil bit. Jimmy isn't really a fighter, and is instead more useful for his connections and survival knowledge.
Jimmy caught Tango's eye because of his golden feathers and his danger sense magic and his high perception and insight. he also, after getting to know Jimmy more, despite his mistrust, and ends up convinced that the rest of the troupe is standard adventurer fair-- not worth much more than food for his dungeon. But he let them get all the way to the hoard as a test for Jimmy, and Jimmy passed. Tango murdered all the rest of the troupe, and took Jimmy as part of his hoard.
Because of this, Jimmy is now 'warlock', and Tango is his patron. It took a long while for Jimmy to sorta-- get over the murder thing. but that's fine! Tango's dragon magic, when forged through a warlock-patron connection, lets him slow Jimmy's aging, as well as give him other magic powers too. It wouldn't do to lose the only good adventurer he's ever met, after all.
After Jimmy finally comes around to being Tango's-- something. Friend? Ward? Treasure? Something. Whatever it is. Jimmy takes on a similar role to Tango. They take care of the town, and the citadel, and if any adventurers come by, Jimmy takes on the guise of being their guide. He whistles to Tango each night, telling songs of how he's being treated. If they don't treat Jimmy right, they get to be dungeon food. If they keep Jimmy safe and listen to his instructions all the way through the dungeon to the hoard, and only take what they truly need of the treasure, for good reasons, they get the chance to leave alive. But they have to get out on their own. Most people never do. But some do.
It brings stories of glory and treasure, attracting more adventurers, more players for the game. More business for the village. Tango changes the games and puzzles, keeping it forever new and challenging, but he never collects any more warlocks. he offers it, to a select few he's deemed as good as Jimmy, but none of them take it. Yet. Most of them have family to get back to, people they need to save. (like Jimmy did, once.) (They're surely all dead by now.) (He's lived for so, so long. Tango is the only one who knows him anymore. (The least he can do is soften Tango's edges for everyone else.) (Jimmy might be a canary in a cage but he can sing to protect the miners, right?)
It's fine. The village is thriving, and the adventurers get a chance, at least.

im emotional over mutant mayhem bc for the first time in series history, they’re allowed to be teenagers, go to school, and have friends and be a part of society.
the mutants have always meant to be represent ostracized people (bipoc, queer, disability, etc) and how to live while knowing you’ll never be accepted by the greater whole, and it’s ok. that you’ll still find a way to thrive even if most of the world hates you.
but it’s so cathartic for them to finally be out there and live their lives. it’s like nimona saying “let’s rewrite this story”. alongside spiderverse with making your own band
no more hiding in the shadows. it’s time to be unabashedly yourself, even with the hell it will bring. three films with central narratives that are queer have come out this year, and it makes me so happy to see.
our existence is more than misery. there is hope and people who love us despite all the prejudice and pain. and we need more art like this.
