My Only Sunshine

Xelqua / Watcher Grian Ask Blog A story about remembering who you are, how you got here, and opening yourself up to others. Guided by the viewers and all hand drawn. We’re always watching.

Whoa. Hello everyone. College has been kicking my butt. But I have some sense of renewed interest and hope for this story. And hopefully it will be all digital art now, or at least mostly.

I’ll post character references soon.

If anyone would like to help me in anyway I would really appreciate it.

Love you all. ❤️

New art of Xelqua and Grian from my very old, very dead ask blog My Only Sunshine/ @askwatchergrian that I might revive?

Anyways I had a lot of fun drawing this, I’m back hermitcraft fandom! Hopefully for a while.

does the 3rd life series haven any affect on the story, or is that a seperate thing

I don’t think it will… Maybe little nods and such. I still have to flesh out my story more. EVOsmp does have a big effect though as that’s where this whole idea came from.

Do you have a favourite channel or hermit that you watch? personally i like scar, grian and pearl

I feel like it's pretty obvious that Grian is my favorite. I also like Tango, Wels, and Ren although I don't watch them a whole lot. Sadly, I haven't watched anyone else besides Xisuma and Beef. I've been meaning to... Maybe with the start of the new season, it would be a good time to start?

And in other news, I have finally gotten a digital drawing tablet! I also happened to find the original concepts and comic pages in my sketchbook.

probs a dumb question, but are the watchers gunna be the main bad guys in this story, or will there be other villains? btw, love your art :3

Firstly, thank you! Secondly, at this moment I think that Watchers are definitely the big bad of the series. But I’m also going to be playing with personal conflict and some minor in server conflict.

[askwatchergrian]

Is this your personal AU or is it a collab with other people? Also, does this ask blog take place in a certain timeframe or season?

This is a personal au of mine, but I bounce ideas off my partners who don't watch Hermitcraft. It won't take place during a certain season as I feel it might be a little confusing with the way I want to write the beginning.

So do the watcher guys' eyes work like normal people, or do they 'see' things in other ways? It kinda makes me think of the game abes odessy, and their real eyes have been stitched shut, it's really creepy

I've been thinking of different ways that the watchers could "see". I don't think I'd go as extreme as eyes being stitched shut; but it will be sort of like that, with them not using their real eyes. I had a thought today about having eyes on the back of the hands, sort of like weeping angel style, although the eyes would be able to appear and disappear via magic. In my original version they could see through the eye on their masks, even though their real eyes were closed, maybe i'll stick to that? But other eyes could be fun

[askwatchergrian]

can't wait for the story dude are you gonna include OCs in this or is it just all the people from HC?

Hello! Thank you for the support. I know that I’ll be at least including one important OC in the story. I may add more as time goes on but they will be less involved.

[askwatchergrian]

So what's been the reaction of the other hermits to what's happened in spawn? I imagine they'd be pretty freaked out

I apologize for the wait, I’ve been quite busy with life. But I’m back and hopefully will be posting more often.

Thank you everyone.

So in your drawing of infant Grian and the watcher, there's a pool of blood and some on the watcher's hand. Either this is a red herring where the watchers found the person already like that, and because they couldn't do anything to save them, decided to take Grian in. On a darker note, they could've purposely targeted him and took him by force, and attacked anyone that gets in the way... then yikes O.o

A mysterious portal opened over spawn and from it fell Icarus…

[askwatchergrian]

I was looking at your first art post with the lyrics to My Only Sunshine, and I came across this fan-song about Grian that instantly made me think about your AU; I think the tone and lyrics would really fit the theme of your story. Tumblr won't let me include the actual YouTube link, but it’s called ‘Grian [hermitcraft fan song] and the channel is called Siggi

Dude 🥺. I just listened to and my god, you’re so right. Added it to my playlist.

If I can ask, what inspired you to create your Watcher story? Will it have a happy ending or will it get dark? (either way, I'm excited to see how it unfolds!). Plus, it'd be cool to see any art/designs for your versions of the Watchers and Grian :)

Oh goodness. Really the Watcher Grian fans overall have been a big inspiration. I think ATUS has been a big inspiration for all of us (even though I haven’t read it). The first version of the story was going to be a lot darker then the current version, although I’m sure I’ll still bring in darker elements. I’ve been working on designs for all the Hermits (if that gives a hint). ;3

I've just found your content and think it looks really cool! Is the page/story still active?

Yes it is! I’m working behind the scenes on stuff. And of course my motivation goes in and out but I’m still working. Might post some more teaser things soon~
