Are you still active in the life series fandom?
I still follow the life series and adjacent stuff and it's possible I might write fic for it again, but I haven't been active in the fandom for a while. Got overwhelmed by life last year and just dipped. I'm an observer for now.
Here’s why I love convex:
They’re friends.
And yes, yes, the weird goofy disturbing nonsensical storylines from seasons five and six of possession and pranks and corporate domination compel me to this day, and after that they’ve been members of mayoral office and king’s court, allies and adversaries and roommates, but friendship is what ties it all together.
The extent of it is not always obvious on videos, because both of them tend to cut out much of the more casual interactions, but every time one of them streams, the other will be there. Scar will try (and fail) to murder Cub by spleef and they’ll start talking of anything and everything. They’ll go threaten Joe or sneak to the forbidden areas in Decked Out 2 and all the while there is an ease to every interaction; taking each other for granted in a good way. Scar compliments Cub’s genius and Cub leaves a sweet little message at the top of Scar’s castle. Always the first to comment on each other’s tweets, getting along in person swimmingly as well, these guys have been friends for years and years and it shows.
There are many wonderful friendships on Hermitcraft, of course - a lot of different flavors, and many that I enjoy. There’s a couple reasons why I especially like watching Scar and Cub together. One of those reasons is, weird enough, how understated their relationship is from the content creation standpoint. They hardly ever call attention to it; it’s just there. (Though to be fair, Cub does appear to be plenty obsessed with HotGuy.) They are always willing to run with each other’s bits, a great quality common on the server. I also very much enjoy how between them, there’s an assumption of competence (or at least no stated assumption of incompetence) - even if it might be unwarranted! Scar is prone to silliness but Cub rarely makes fun of him for it, and rarely calls attention to any mispronunciations or the like. Now, hermits making fun of each other is funny and never ill-intended, and I wouldn’t want every relationship to be like this, but the convex way of utmost mutual respect until suddenly an attempted murder is much to my taste.
Okay. Okay Kie we get it, they are friends. So why ship it?
Right. So this is a real friendship between real life people. My interest does not lie in RPF - and even though HC sometimes skirts the line, especially with Convex there are many, many explicitly character bits. They may not have called it roleplay -
(Forgive the side note but, bless these ccs the mcyt as a whole has a very muddled idea of what roleplaying even is. Here’s Iskall85 on stream talking about his planned murder mystery game saying he hates roleplay because these scripted scenes don’t interest him but if there’s just a character he could embody, and pretend to be, without a script then he might enjoy that... Sir, acting out scripted scenes is called acting, what you describe is roleplay. Okay side not done)
So what they did on s5, they may not have called it roleplay but they wore vex heads and did voices and had a whirly transition to when the vex take them over, so I have a very easy time thinking of them as characters. And the friendship the players have happens to be the basis for how the characters act with each other. So I imagine characters Scar and Cub having this implicit respect, closeness and shared understanding. And clearly they like each other.
So let’s turn closeness to commitment to, if we want, devotion.
Why I make it romantic is simply because I like fictional romance and for me, the building blocks for friendship or romance are not much at all different. They’re repeatedly (business) partners, they live together, that’s enough for me. My own relationships have started from close friendships and I’d be hard pressed to explain what the “romance” component even is, so that surely colors my view.
Also. Minecraft men are known for flirting with each other and they do it too - but that is not the main draw for me. I don’t need that, though I enjoy it when it happens.
Also! All this talk about friendship doesn’t mean I’d mainly write them friends to lovers, or in a kind of relationship that I would want. I am a great enjoyer of the more messed up parts of their stories, Convex as villains, as corrupted, as possessed. Mutual respect and care can be twisted or taken to an unhealthy extreme. But the dynamic between them is what drew me to them and what keeps me enjoying them together.
You’ve slept in the drafts for months. Now go, my rant, roam the world. Be free!
cub's firework factory does not meet any safety standards
you can boop if you wannto. yuo can leave your friends behind
🎆 do you ever feel like a plastic bag drifting through the wind wanting to start again 🎇
hes so awesome
bros all dyed and exploded
“Yeah. It’s gone, but I still like you. How would I not? I thought we could be friends.”
Scar’s cheeks had gained back their color from the warmth of the fire. He was smiling, but there was sharpness to it. He was leaning forward and fiddling with his sleeves.
“I…” Cub coughed. It was the smoke. “I don’t know what I feel.”
I can FINALLY share my 2023 hermitshipping big bang piece!! This goes along with the final chapter of “The Deathless and the Stray” by the incredible, wonderful, spectacular @kieiswrite ! PLEASE go check out the fic, every chapter had me floored :)
This has been a long time coming! A HUGE thanks to @hermitshippingbigbang for organizing such a massive event! It’s been tons of fun :)
Some doodles of one of my AU!Cub (who's real name was Alcor after one of the stars in the Ursa Major Constellation) in a pillager outfit because I was inspired by @kieiswrite 's fic The Deathless and The Stray (its got Convex shipping but it's a real good story)
media used: Caran D'ache nonphoto blue pencil, Sakura Micron pen, Bic cristal ball point pen, Ohuhu art markers
Joel's base
Thanks Cub.
last sunny day
very self indulgent t4t convex ………
aaa i can finally post what i made for my favorite chapter of kie’s wonderful, amazing fic in the hsbb event!! im so happy!!!! PLEASE go show some love to @kieiswrite they went above and beyond with this story and i ask everyone to give it a chance if they havent already!!! <3
LOOK!! Art by Felix for my big bang fic, it's so good! It's a little silly but every time I look at it, I get so emotional - the fic consumed my life for a while, but I did finish it and now there's beautiful pictures by one of my favorite artists, and I'm so happy!
I've been too busy to hype it up as much as I would have wanted, but I've been posting my @hermitshippingbigbang grand convex backstory fic on ao3 for several weeks now and it's on chapter six! Cub and Scar have pledged their service to the vex, and with a sinister mission they arrive to Kingdomcraft (it's not called that in the fic, but, you know. the equivalent) and meet some interesting folks There's also these absolutely beautiful pieces of art by Arabella that go with chapter 5!
