@harley-the-pancake @wildcardjoey @elytra-galaxy @tsukana @lunarblazes @the-royal-bat-snake @leoismybookcrush @blindillusionist @octopus-defence-squad @anty-kreatywna @crumchysocks

ALL of these people have either sent in asks, added tags, or added on their own posts for the au and made it this WHOLE WORLD I DIDNT EVEN THINK OF ???? like i showed my mom the stuff I wrote and talked about how everyone sent in asks and she said it's some of the most interesting stuff she's ever seen written as a collaborative project.

We haven't even talked about the art @blockcraft @b-dubs @g3nderman @crumchysocks and @justneo have done. they're all artists that are amazing people and amazingly talented in so many ways.

seriously, these guys are so damn creative it’s insane. give them as much love as y’all have been showing me. because i'm here being a silly little writer but THEY have been helping me out and deserve recognition.

I made a post about it, but I think I should say it here to, the least slutty redstone/builder duo is impulse and wels, who are in fact a duo because of the yes wings club

Yes I would def say they were a duo bc of that. I will check out your post!

So I was thinking about the grianst I sent you and I can make it better

Imagine he has an outburst of sorts because someone threatened Pearl and he ends up hurting her in the process, only to wake up forgetting who she is

I was saving the other one but rip that grian ayyyy

Grian is excited. He's started to remember almost everything after his coma. It took a lot of convincing from the other gods for him to finally get up. Iskall was fine, better than fine in fact. He was somehow a god. They refused to tell him how or why. Grian, deep down, didn't want to know. He knew he would hurt even more if he did.

Gods needed to know how to fight. He was told he was being protected, but not by who or what. He just knew Xisuma put precautions into place. He was thankful, on one hand. On the other, now knowing the president of his college had been a god this whole time was slightly unnerving.

Etho and Beef were with Pearl and Grian respectively. Both were tasked with teaching the young gods the basics of defense. Beef was relentless with Grian while Etho was simply explaining it still to Pearl. Why did he have to get the war god again?

Grian still kept an eye on the two, probably due to his paranoia some mysterious force would take her away. He could tell the previous sun god was somewhere in him convincing him too as well. He didn't understand how memories and reincarnation worked fully, but the knowledge seemed to be in the power itself. It reminded him of that anime Etho tried explaining once. Something about a guy who eats hair to get strong?

Grian was tossed once again by Beef and landed with a thud. Pearl laughed, her attention leaving Etho for a minute. That was when Etho moved to grab her. She realized a second too late and tried to move and block him, but her reaction was slow. He picked her up and tossed her just as Beef had done with him.

He saw a girl on the ground, knife held to her throat. A faceless man stood over her. He couldn't make him out. Maybe he wasn't allowed to know. He just knew his entire body and mind was screaming to get to her. He had to protect that girl. His sister was in danger. He was going to watch her die.

"PEARL!" He rushed forward, throwing Etho off. He heard Beef yell for Bdubs in the distance.Grian kicked at Etho, the other moving out of the way. Grian had no clue where his sudden ability to fight came from, but he appreciated it.

"Grian, calm down! Pearl is fine, look at Pearl, okay?” Etho blocked him. Neither would die, but that didn't mean someone could seriously get hurt.

Grian could feel something burn inside him that distracted him from whatever Etho said. He didn't care, he just knew Gem was on the ground and was hurt. He knew he had to protect her. The fire released, light engulfing both him and Etho. He heard a scream from somewhere, and everything went dark.

Grian was back in that place. He was floating. He didn't see anyone. Gods please not again please not again please not again. Bdubs put him there again. He didn't know why. He had to have done something. What did he do?

Did he hurt someone? He surely didn't hurt Iskall again. There was no way. He couldn't have. Iskall wasn't there, right?

"Grian."

There was a girl in front of him. Her features were blurred, but he knew her. No he didn't. But he did? He knew her name, on the tip of his tongue. He had said it so many times before. They had been here together.

"I know you. Who are you?" He couldn't hear himself, but knew the words escaped. He could tell from the flinch of her body. That hurt her somehow. He didn't know how, but it did.

"You remember me Grian, you know who I am."

He did and he didn't. She was so familiiar. They were floating but he knew the way she stood. He knew that even though they looked nothing alike, they were siblings. So why can't he hold onto that memory. Why was this so hard to believe. "I can't."

"You promised." Her face sharpened into focus. "You swore we would get back what we lost."

In a library, before any fight. Before death and regret and guilt. He sat with a girl. He made a promise to someone he cared about. He swore on his life to her.

"Pearl?"

Pearl smiled. "Let's go home."

@blindillusionist you’re practically asking for stress to die imma get to that ask when i make sure ren doc scar grian and pearl are good

[lockoutkey]

So Cub is protecting Zedaph, his 135th and last incarnation, but Gem is desperately trying to mess with them, getting increasingly frustrated as they keep avoiding her storms, so what does Gem and Cub’s relationship look like? Did Cub do something that made Gem upset and this is her revenge? Or does she not know about Zedaph?

Gem has been angry at every God of fate ever since the Moon and Sun god fell. Misplaced anger. She thinks it’s fates fault the gods died. it wasn’t because fate is only controlling humans, but Gem won’t listen. She lost her best friends after all.

So Gem is targeting the human connections of fate. She doesn’t always know who they are, which can result in natural disasters if she knows the vicinity but not the person.

If she finds out it’s Zedaph, and something bad happens to Grian or Pearl, Cub is in deep deep trouble. You can replace fate, but nature uncontrolled only spells destruction.

Just referred my friend here, he doesn’t watch hermitcraft though, so this’ll be interesting

Anyway, can’t wait to see what happens with Gem and Cub and Zed

rip to your friend maybe i'll get him to watch hermitcraft

I think it’s been implied but never been stated, but Grian as Apollo and Pearl as Artemis. (There’s so many possibilities for myths surrounding those two now that i think about it) I’m not great at drawing people, but I’m going to try and we’ll see what I come up with (they might end up just being heroforge creations though)

i’m going to answer your other ask as soon as i’m not in a car but i already know anything you draw is going to be amazing

[lockoutkey]

I’m so glad we’ve decided that this is how it went down:

« Daaaadddd, Cub stole my toy! »

« No I didn’t! »

« Did too »

« Did not »

« Did too »

*pans to an exasperated Xisuma*

xisuma is looking into the camera like he’s on the office going “yet. that’s me. you’re probably wondering how i got into this situation”
