Hello! I'm Halcyon, Hal, or Archer (any are fine)

Blog info

I majoritively enjoy MCYT (Empires, Artimators, Hermitcraft, and Life Series). However, I do sometimes dabble in mythology, history, and other social sciences, so that may creep into my posts.

I am much more of a writer than an artist, so I can't promise any visual art. However, I will most likely be trying to learn in the future so look out for that eventually.

This blog will probably somewhat be dedicated to my current large project of turning the world of Empires SMP into a playable D&D world. (With some of my own ideas thrown in there of course). This will be tagged with #Empirae or #MGE

I have no professional writing experience, so apologies if any of my writing is immensely painful to read. I'm trying my best, please be nice.

This is my first social media that I am actually trying to post in, so if you could be patient that would be wonderful. I also don't really know how to use tags, so I hope I'm using them correctly.

Dr Pix L. Riffs has been sent to a newly found archaeological site known as the Ancient Capital. The loneliness that always seems to creep over him while working on a dig shouldn’t bother him, it is why he got into this profession in the first place after all, but it never fails to do so. He certainly doesn’t expect to find the cure to that loneliness while exploring the long-abandoned catacombs of the Ancient Capital.

This fic was inspired by the lovely doodle by @toastybeanies here on Tumblr. This ship makes me lose my mind a normal amount. When I saw the doodle, I just had to write the lead-up to the image. The title is a quote by Lord Carnarvon and Howard Carter when they discovered Tutankhamun’s tomb.

Hi! I love your art and I have a very selfish doodle req. If you would be willing, maybe a Ren and Pix from the Empires/Hermitcraft crossover?

If you do this, thank you so much!

Dude. I had to draw this immediately, I love love love this ship, please give me more content for them, seeing them interact in s2 of empires/s9 hc was amazing omg, Pix yearns for this man and Ren reciprocates it all. Storyteller x Storyteller. Nothing is gayer than leaving your worldly possessions behind for another man to find.

I’ve genuinely been waiting for an excuse to draw these two,

[pastelflamingo]

Could I perhaps request a Gemini of the tay variety?

Also I really love your art style!

I like that False’s banner for Gem’s base looks like the xornoth/exor mirror to Scott’s Empires base in Rivendell

Cleo has been working in the Aztlánian healthcare system for as long as she can remember. As difficult as it is, it is one of the only ways they can make a difference in this gods-forsaken city. Their life changes forever when they have to choose between their life and another.

My thirty-first Hermit-a-Day May piece! (And the last one!) This one is part of my Threads that Bind AU based on the eponymous book by Kika Hatzopoulu. Its genuinely such a good book, everyone should read it if you're into dystopian, or mythology, or mystery, or honestly anything else. I may have gotten some mythology incorrect, but it's a fantasy piece so it's fine. Also, I haven't read the actual source material book in a while, so I may have gotten some of the lore wrong. But it was really fun to write nonetheless. This will definitely be part of a series, so if you’re interested look out for more later. Hope you enjoy!

Also, I just wanted to thank the HADM mod team for everything they have done this month. I couldn’t have asked for a more supportive entrance to posting my creative work online, and I just want to thank you guys for giving me the confidence to continue. This has seriously been one of the most fun things I’ve done in my life and I hope to continue making silly little fics about the little block creatures that inhabit my mind.

treebark hug and kiss???? 👀😳

I can’t draw people kissing for the actual life of me so you can have a Treebark cuddle

Gem is the forests, the mountains, the streams. When someone tries to disrupt that sacred land, she all but jumps at the chance to punish them. The only obstacle is her brother. Despite this roadblock, she will find her revenge no matter what.

My thirtieth Hermit-a-Day May piece! This one comes from my Svaneti mythology AU. Gem is the goddess Dali from Georgian/Svaneti mythology. When I was reading random wikipedia articles (don’t ask) I found this goddess and she pretty much had all the domains I regularly associate with Gem. I would encourage you to learn more about Georgian/Svaneti mythology because it's genuinely so cool. This is kinda a set-up piece for later fics in this AU, but it's not really connected in a story line per se. Hope you enjoy!

Bdubs is part of the Dubian culture. Known for their unique textile manufacturing ways, this anthropological report/personal journal records the fall/winter months of the Dubian's life. It allows for the recording of cultural festivals and everyday practices in a personal way.

My twenty-ninth Hermit-a-Day May piece! The worldbuilding bug got me (more like I fall back on worldbuilding when my creative story-focused ideas run out.) This was fully inspired by Bdubs skin and me being really interested in textile production. This may be really boring to everyone, but it's fun to me, so bleh. Hope you enjoy!

Gem, Dame of the Sun, Queen of Dawn, will protect her domain with her life. It is her escape, her respite from those that would not see the beauty in simple nature. When that peace is threatened, Gem reacts in a totally normal and not insane way.

My twenty-eighth Hermit-a-Day May Fic! (we’re almost to the end. Oh my gods.) Soooo, I realized halfway through writing this fic that I completely and totally misunderstood the prompt. Um. I think it kinda works anyways? But I made a Hermitcraft/Empires crossover fic because of my insanity. Also I got to use my worldbuilding chops for this one a little so that's always good. Hope you enjoy!

Grian had planned to do a botanical themed base. He even constructed a greenhouse that recorded every plant he had ever found. The star Polaris has other plans for him.

My twenty-seventh Hermit-a-Day Piece! This one is interesting to me. Admittedly, Grian is not my favorite hermit, but his themes are always really interesting to me. Especially the astronomy/star theming of his base this season. I also really liked the end crystal thing he did, so I came up with a story that tried to combine all of those. Hope you enjoy!

The land around what is known as the Silo has been dead for centuries. The few remaining inhabitants of the area have taken shelter in a bunker deep underground. These people are highly superstitious, saying if you enter the land outside of the Silo, you will never come back. If only that were the case.

My twenty-sixth Hermit-a-Day Piece! That last sentence feels like heresy with how cheerful it sounds after writing this fic. This thing destroyed me. The muses really just took ahold of me and said, “you’re going to write a depressing and horrifying fic now” and I squeaked out “Ok.” And then I did what they asked. I would like to offer a formal apology to ImpulseSV for making him my chew toy. I genuinely do not know why I want to torture this man so much. I am so sorry for whoever reads this. Hope you enjoy!
