AUs/Headcanon Projects
Trollhunters AU Masterpost (because it would be a pain in the ass to list them all)
Starborne Kingdom of Dianite :: My MCYT Starborne AU! Builds off Jordan's origins smp lore, continuing the story (since he fucking won't /lh /j) and adding worldbuilding to the realm of the starborne (in my headcanon, its a version of the Aether!) How the Aether and the cast works comes off a tidbit from non est ad astra (see below) so we got two tiem reesters + hermits + lifers and the canon OSMP cast
Masterpost | AU Tag
Hollow Knight: Pale Revival :: Post-canon/dreamers live AU :D Takes place a year after an Embrace the Void ending where a powerful magic stored in a relic that Ghost and co. find in the ruins of the White Palace brings back the Pale King, the Dreamers and a few others along the way. The story follows the cast discovering secrets from those who came back, uncovering the mystery of the mechanical amulet and learning how to control it before it falls into the wrong hands. Story goes up until Hornetâs capture at the beginning of Silksong!
Tales of Aitheaca/Gays on a Boat :: Mianite Post-canon/post-Isles fanstory! Gays on a Boat follows tiem reester after season 2 and goes up through Isles (following everyone else but tom and jordan). Tales of Aitheaca picks up where Isles leaves off (if i pretend like the end of Isles doesn't exist it can't hurt me) and takes them to another relative universe in pursuit of a multiversal anomaly, where ultimate balance rules. also the boat is a dimension traveller and to everyone's shock not the only one
Gays on a Boat | Tales of Aitheaca
Mianite Godswap :: Joke AU I made during Octobernite, but also has a bit of story tied to it. mostly an excuse to make syndisparklez between a dianitee and mianitee because that concept is fascinating to me
Mianite x Life Series :: Fan season of the Life Series that builds off a funny little game that Ianite, Dianite and the Watchers play with their casts and swap them around, putting the lifers in a blank slate world of Mianite S1 with the objective of being the last one standing, and Jordan and Tom in a hardcore world where of they die, the world dies
Deathâs Scale of Justice :: Headcanon for cEmeraldduo in the Mianite universe! :D Inspired by when Philza showed up at Jordanâs witch hut, Phil is a priest for Ruxomar Ianite and former friend of Spark lookin for his goddess when he disappears. Also includes the backstory for cTechno where he unearths Bellinite, the god of anarchy, revenge and blind vengeance (aka the Blood God) from the depths of the S1 World
HC10: Upon the Mountain of Magic :: WIP, expansion and theory on the story behind Magic Mountain in Hermitcraft season 10 using Joel's temple to Lizzie and Mumbo's mined lab lore as a baseline. no tag yet but is in reference to the mosaic of lizzie and jim on art blog + canary in the iron mine painting
Original Projects
non est ad astra, mollis e terra via :: Multiverse lore dev, work in this is used mostly in reference to MCYT fanon, but also is a project i'm using for some OC stuff (includes worldbuilding for my Mianite RPG characters Ophi and Aurelia, and concepts for the Nightmare Spectrum)
For Good Measure :: Story of my stream sona, Sir Monty Jones aka where he was prior to becoming the wanderer of the outerverse. Takes place prior to Arcadia of Avalon and is basically monty python but if they were my ocs and silly knights and also minecraft
Arcadia of Avalon :: Original Arthurian retelling but i don't gaf I just think knights deserve to be stupid, gay and full of angst as the gods intended. Mostly an excuse to write my rarepairs and do some funky worldbuilding where the land of King Arthur is a war over the power of creation. i can't explain it better than that but trust me its a good one
Wide Awake in the Witching Hour :: Current set of lore and story for my sona Sir Monty Jones. Continues where For Good Measure leaves off and is, relatively time wise, lines up to the current timeline of HC10 and the Mianite RPG
I did a little worldbuilding on some headcanons for Bdubs' s11 character :D while I dont think bdubs is really doing much lore this season it was fun to come up with something since he wont do it himself /lh â€ïž
(under a cut bc it got long as per usual x3)

In the early days of the realm, it was said that the Northern kingdom was largely inhabited by mechanists, magicians and artificers alike, all of whom relied heavily on the crimson ores that littered the rocky countryside as the power source behind their creations. Eventually, the process of collecting enough redstone to sustain them became too arduous to the point of it impeding on innovation; so some artificers took it upon themselves to find a better solution.
While resource gathering in swamps, artificers noticed a magical aura exuding from the blue orchids that painted its landscape, curiously in the same way the ore emitted electrical particles. Experimenting with petals and copper vessels, they discovered a magical essence that could be drawn and conducted from the flowers, drawing from the natural world in harmony w itself, containing a special affinity. In combinations with one another, they found this essence was capable of powering machines just as well as the ore could. Some would say their commitment to this methodology put them behind the technological advancements of neighboring settlements, but it never seemed to bother them all that much.
From a foundation of copper and blossom, the artificers created a guild that rooted itself in the Voltelia, a kingdom ran on this very magic. Most of its citizens become apart of this guild, dedicating their lives to that same discovery and innovation- some choosing to focus more the spiritual magic side of things, others the attunement of magic and machinery. Many of these engineers, artificers and mechanists would also come to find great companionship in their copper golem assistants, powered by the same magic that beats through the kingdom and its citizens. Folks hailing from their say that if you walk upon its grounds, through the fragrant flowers and clank of machinery, you can hear it for yourself in your own heart.
[ Voltelia's banner colors are red and eggshell white, and bear blue orchids on their coat of arms, the flower that had begun it all ]

Bdubs:
Noble distantly related to the royal family trained in the artificer arts (the more magical side of attuning magic and machinery through different techniques). Most of his work focused on building machines in a more unconventional way that always ended up having an effectiveness not many expected xD
Easily irritated by the copper golems who enjoyed his presence over many of his colleagues. He does not understand why (its the niceness to the stable horses, they see him as very kind)
In his early days studying in the guild, he was known to be underestimated by peers, who could recognize his affinity to the natural world, just not the mechanical side of things. Aside, of course, from one-
Ethoslab
Talented mechanist who was more interested in the mechanic side of Voltelia's teaching, but nonetheless found a strong companionship with Bdubs from when they had first met. Both saw the value in each other's work and over time began to work collaboratively on a lot of things together
Before joining the guild, Etho was the apprentice of the blacksmith Odell, a jolly old man who had a fascination with immortality, and was always surrounded by many, many copper golems. While Etho had left by then, Bdubs was around to see Odell go through a transformation that left him without any memory of any of his life before that, and a much more copper-y appearance.
At a point, Etho's sights began to reach beyond Voltelia, and he sought to bring his talents to the neighboring settlement (Etho's cyberpunk city), hoping to encourage their innovation to take a different turn. Despite Bdubs' protests, he eventually leaves the guild to work his way up and become "king" of that other city.
But, Bdubs never forgets about Etho, nor holds much of a grudge (most uncharacteristic for how he typically can get) and when he gets the chance, he leaves the comfort of Voltelia's streets behind to set up base at an old outpost near a forest, hoping that whatever Etho got up to, he can find him again.
(bonus side note: I also imagine that Joel's lore could connect to this a little as well, w horseheads (thing from the natural world) powering his rainbow generator đ Joel isnt from Voltelia, but he heard about Bdubs and his origins, and was like hehehe i think ill pester you a little because we are the same :]c We are both normal and happy rainbows yay yay yay)
But yes thank u for listening to my ramble. I am happy to answer any questions because there is a little more and if u guys wanna make something inspired by this/build on it feel free, just tag me I wanna see!!!
does posting ocs w canon characters (like a sketchbook page w both them on the same image) turn folks away from interacting with art posts /genq im so curious if dennis being there bothers people like ill keep the art separate in the future if thats the case đż
I LOVE COLLABORATIVE SOTRYTELLING I LOVE CREATING THINGS TOGETHER I LOVE "YES AND"ING WITH OTHERS I LOVE "NO BUT WHAT ABOUT-"S I LOVE HEARIJG MY FRIENDS' IDEAS I LOVE BOUNDING OFF OF THEM I LOVE ART I LOVE STORIES I LOVE ALL THE DIFFERENT PASSIONS AND SKILLS REQUIRED I LOVE ALL THE DIFFERENT MEDIA IT TAKES I LOVE I LOVE I LOVE
Me in the middle of typing up an angst scene like ermmmmmm
Here's a couple:
Redbeard is a genuinely talented singer. Like the Hunger Games "the birds stop to listen" hauntingly beautiful type singing voice.
Dyes on Ianerea are more commonly made from sea creatures/shells than from flowers.
Capsize taught Tom a bit about this, though he never picked up what was used to make each colour
BONUS: Tom used flowers to dye his hair, also straining his hands for multiple days afterwards
When meeting in forms where they can touch, Ianite has a tendency to trance her finger along Capsize's freckles
Sonja has a tattoo from pre-champion's realm that is somewhere not easy for her to see, so it takes her ages to find out about its existence
After Martha (an actual traded healer), Tucker is by far the best at first aid
someone on twt made a prediction for a martyn, bdubs & etho team next life series and I then proceeded to have a dream about this being the thumbnail for martynâs first ep so uhh
Pearl: Okay, we wanna hear everything. Skizz, get the wine and unplug the phone. Bdubs, does this end well or do we need tissues?
Bdubs: Oh, it ended very well.
Skizz: Do not start without me! Do not start without me!
Pearl: Okay, alright, letâs hear about the kiss. Was it a soft brush against your lips or was it like a, you know, âI gotta have you nowâ kind of thing?
Bdubs: Well, at first it was really intense, you know? And then, oh God, and then we just sort of sunk into it.
Pearl: Ohh... So, okay, was he holding you? Or were his hands on your back?
Bdubs: First his hands started out on my waist and then they slid up and then they were in my hair.
Skizz and Pearl: Ohhh.
*meanwhile*
Etho eating pizza in his house: And, uh, and then I kissed him.
