Anybody else notice that Scott keeps accusing Jimmy of being "obsessed with flower husbands" but Scott is the only one who keeps bringing it up? I feel like Jimmy has moved on and Scott just can't because he can't handle the thought of being alone. So he keeps pretending Jimmy hasn't moved on either even though Jimmy is very happy with Tango. He's creating the narrative in his head that Jimmy still loves him even though he doesn't. Scott knows this fact. But he's jealous that Jimmy is in a loving relationship. He's jealous that he doesn't have that.
Meanwhile Martyn is there just like- absolutely pining after Scott like a god-damn pine tree! Scott can't see that because he's still not over Jimmy! Even Jimmy can see how much Martyn likes Scott, Scott is just in complete denial because he thinks Martyn is not over Ren. And while Martyn will never be completely over Ren it doesn't stop him from loving someone else. Example A: Scott.
I need a fic where Jimmy sets Scott and Martyn up because they are both loney and heartbroken and sad. I need it now. Please. I beg.
bandit tango and goblin fwhip fighting over The Sheriffās attention. the bandit is stealing anything from random items in chests to the currency in the bank and fwhip is coming up with every excuse to visit jimmy. he also steals back what tango had stolen and returns it. all the while being very aware of each other and in this silent competition over who gets more of jimmyās time.
etho on empires because i miss the boat boys so much. not much detail but i could definitely add more to this. mhm mhm
read below the cut if youāre interested in this ramble !
heās probably based in sausageās empire somewhere along the edge after much consideration and deciding that a dead end cave system wasnāt going to cut it
speaking of sausage, hermes absolutely loves him. etho isnāt sure what to make of him at first but decides that heās not so bad after all
hermes is the only child etho can deal with though. canāt say heās a huge lover of tiny humans. they definitely scare him
obviously heād never admit that though.
hermes is also the one who encourages etho to visit stratos with him the next time he goes to stay with his other dad. sausage takes them both there after weeks of hermes trying to persuade etho to leave without an excuse as to why he couldnāt go
etho knew joel was there and immediately recognised him despite the new gigantic height difference between them
joel is absolutely ecstatic to see him again but simply shows him to the tavern and gives him a room there at no cost, and leaves him to settle in for a bit
etho is both surprised but glad to see joel again. and absolutely amazed by his empire, of course. stratos is absolutely beautiful after all
heās not so keen on being shorter than joel though. admittedly, he wished he could mock his height again but he could definitely get used to the tall, handsome god joel now was
takes a few days for both of them to get comfortable with each other and a lot of hermes demanding their attention at the same time
they definitely spend more than a few sunsets on the bridge, just watching the sky darken while they catch up
etho tells him about the statue of pearl sausage is building, and joel complains about the court case against jimmy (leaving out the fact that he definitely lost that)
when etho goes home with hermes two weeks later, he promises to come back and stay the next time
joel creates a whole new island with a new house on for him to stay in and decorate however he pleases on the next visit. a place he can stay in every time and access whenever he needs :)
whatās your favourite empire on season two and why? iām just curious because every empire is so cool so far for many different reasons and i wanna get other peoples thoughts too.
kinda wanna write an au where mumbo works as a wedding planner and always recommends the same quaint little florist on the edge of the town. partly because the flowers are incredible, but also because heās taken a bit of a liking to the couple that run the shop. rather than just talking to grian and scar, he decides to just keep feeding into their business and getting them more customers instead.
there is so much more i could add to this. i might actually do something with this basic au starter eventually
grian and scar have this weird relationship where theyāre each otherās favourite and least favourite person simultaneously. itās so toxic but itās so sweet. itās so wrong but itās right. itās so them.
Grian sneaking off with BigB and giving him gifts etc. Lying about it when Scar blatantly caught them so clearly even he knew (heās not that stupid). He made BigB cookies.
But what if he gave them to BigB himself, rather than to Grian to give to him? Scar taking the cookies to him and acknowledging what happened with them. Like heās not mad, he just wishes they didnāt deny it or even straight up told him, would have been even better.
Or alternatively, what if he went to Ren and told him about it. And what if he and Ren teamed up so that BigB and Grain could have their little dynamic without ācheatingā on anyone else.
Or or Grian and BigB come clean about it themselves and all four of them grouped up and worked together, rather than seeing each other behind backs and trying to keep things a secret. But the four of them keep that little thing between themselves and nobody else knows.
All Iām saying is they could have done things far more efficiently than they did and it could have ended a whole lot better for them.
Until they inevitably have to battle it out because only one pair can win.
Apologies for writing out of the blue. I know I probably shouldnāt but I wanted to check in with you.
So, youāre back on empires now. How is your empire doing? Stratos, I think you called it. I do hope nothing happened to it in the time you were away, with it being left unattended. Sorry if it did.
Things here are okay. Someone broke one of my red stone doors somehow, so Iāve had to repair that but thankfully that appears to be the only damage done. Being back in Hermitcraft feels weird though, now. Maybe itās the soul link? I know Tango mentioned feeling it still, and he and Jimmy have been apart even longer than we have. Do you still feel it?
You donāt have to write back, but if you can, Iād like that. Just to keep the contact.
Yours, Etho.
The man stared dumbly at the paper in his hands, biting down on his lip in a poor attempt to contain a grin. His eyes trailed up again, staring towards the horizon in the direction Gem had vanished in after dropping the letter off to him. The ache which Joel tried so hard to push off crept itās way back in and tugged at his heartstrings.
It was his business and his alone if he decided to prioritise a reply over the half built bridge.
