But the failures of those who tried before them overshadow their efforts, and raises the question of if they can even succeed where the others once failed? And with the encroaching corruption threatening to swallow them, they face not just Xornoth and his seemingly unending power, but the fear of losing themselves—and all their friends—to the darkness. Especially as they learn that the dangers lurking in the darkness are only one half of the fight, and that they're not just fighting the corruption but destiny itself. series: destiny averted

I can’t sleep so have a height chart for the Complex Complex tenants. Love that these guys have taken over my brain, this is welcomed especially since it’s a smaller cast then Ever Autumn. That whole thing is still my main thought but I’m having fun with this much more drama filled tangent.

Pixie’s was hopping on this particular Saturday Night. There was a good band on, the music was loud, the staff busy and the patrons happy. Well - most of the patrons. Aside one Gregory Eeyore, who was loitering by the outskirts of the bar. Now, it wasn’t Pixie’s itself that was making the man displeased, of course - but just his general attitude. State of being, more like. Greg didn’t often frequent Pixie’s. At least... not without a friend or a reason (ie; celebration, date, etc) - but today he had...a very different reason. 

See - he was stuck watching one Gem Morey filter in and out of the crowd. Normally, Gregory wouldn’t talk to Gem. He was afraid of Gem. Gem was mean, and rude and standoffish and arguably the worst Morey brother - but.. he was also the one he needed at the moment, wasn’t he? So when he seemed to be pulling away from a conversation, Gregory forced himself to shift in beside him, immediately gesturing for two shots their way before he turned his gaze gently towards Gem’s own. 

“...hey.”

Consider: It's about this time of year that animal hybrid Hermits get their winter coats/otherwise start prepping for the cold season. Grian starts fluffing up his feathers more when he goes outside, subconsciously trying to keep himself as warm as possible. Gem and Doc get their winter coats, already fluffy fur somehow getting even poofier. Tango spends most of the time in the nether or in lava pools, usually too cold to climb out. You just sit and laugh at their pain. - Mori Anon 💀

YESS hybrids trying to deal with the cold is, just great

Those that grow winter coats are absolute heaven to cuddle with, especially if you're prone to cold sensitivity yourself. However some like Tango can only deal with the cold in, less convenient ways. And then there's those like Jevin, who's slime body just kinda firms up in the freezing air. So yeah, real mixed bag but hey. Perks of being a human

Dian was missing. 

In Seb’s mind, this roughly meant; Dian was dead. This wasn’t Sebastian’s first rodeo with a dead brother - and... honestly he had to wonder if maybe he didn’t have both of them haunting his ass right this moment. The thought was.. upsetting though. If he lingered on it too long and the severity started sinking it and churning an uncomfortable pit in his gut, it had the power to unravel him. 

So, he didn’t. Instead he just did what everyone else was doing. Hoping for the best. That Dian was missing, not dead. That Dian was... in the NTO or... got turned around during all the chaos and needed to just find his way home. That his phone was dead or broken. 

He would ignore the fact that the Morey’s were likely forever going to be without the stability of their original and eldest brother. Ignoring meant doing his best to get over the near half a week of chaos and hell, shake off that stupid Texan accent and go back to whatever he could to distract himself from anything else. Mainly... sexting and video games or.. helping Ma and Pa. Semi-avoiding some of his brothers in the process.... Like Isaac. or Mads, who had come back at the greatest time. And... well, Gem. Now granted Isaac nor Gem were... not in their right minds during everything - and neither was Seb! He was some honky-tonk redneck, after all and Gem had some weird rat child messing with his brain. So... could he really hold the fact that his brother threatened him with fire against him? 

...maybe not - but... it still made him uncomfortable. Still had him a little irritated - and... yeah so maybe he’d been avoiding him since everything settled, which was incredibly hard given their living status. He kept a distant eye on him at the very least, because he was still his little brother and he didn’t know how he’d be taking the Dian thing but as far as conversation or being around him went...- well, it didn’t. 

So when he finally slipped up and stepped into the kitchen at the same time as Gem - his entire gait paused before he could stop himself. Gaze snapping up to him for a few seconds before he forced himself to move again a little mechanically. Fuck. Now it was awkward - and damn if he didn’t have half a mind to turn around and go right back to his room but that would only make it worse. So instead a sigh slipped from his lips as he moved forward to sort through the pods of coffee with a frown. “....hey.” He finally muttered quietly, unsure of what else to do.

📺oh my god tele is writing fluff??? Wow what a new concept who woulda guessed /s

Anyway… been thinking about how some of the hermits enjoy gardening and wanted to do something cute with it :)

Grian:

-mostly does flowers and hedges

-you two always work together on deciding which flowers go where and what flowers you are planting this season

- he was the one that got you into gardening and prides himself with being the one who taught you everything you know

- tries very hard to make hedge sculptures but it’s much harder than it looks. You tease him about how wonky they always come out

- you two always try to poke the others face with your dirty gloves when they aren’t looking to get dirt on their face. This has resulted in a few play-fights turned tickle attacks

Doc:

-takes his gardening very seriously

-plants mainly vegetables but he has one strawberry bush

-100% does that trick where you paint rocks to look like strawberries so when crows peck at them it hurts their beak and they don’t come back. He watches them through his window and laughs at them when they fall for it

-you try to help him with his garden but he can get kinda bossy and fussy about how things need to be done. He wants only the best and the best only for his garden, and if that means doing everything himself then so be it

-it’s not all bad because now you set to sit and watch him work. Definitely asks you “you like what you see?” When it gets hot and he takes his lab coat off. You do like what you see

-when the vegetables are ready for harvest you always use them to make dinner that night, working together to cook your guys meal

-will let you have ONE (1) strawberry straight off the bush if you ask nicely

-loves to admire his work. Every morning he sits outside and looks over his garden while he drinks his coffee

Beesuma bc I miss him:

-has the biggest most efficient greenhouse you’ve ever seen, also counts as a bee sanctuary with how many of them live in and around it

- grows “useful” plants. You have no idea what he means by this.

-turns out embracing being a bee means he now knows a lot about plants, and all the things they can be used for! Whenever you get a minor injury he drags you to the greenhouse while infodumping about what plant will fix you right up

-all the bees are very friendly and affectionate towards you. Love nuzzling your cheek or resting on top of your head. (This includes X)

-you have way too many jars of honey because X won’t stop giving them to you when you come over

Gem:

-she has a small orchard of fruit trees

-they’re all organized and labeled with beautiful signs she painted herself

-she’s memorized the perfect time to harvest each of the different fruits, and she’s always right wow these are some good apples

-when it comes to picking the fruit you both take turns carrying the other on your shoulders because both of you are too short to reach the branches normally

-invites you and a few other hermits over for a picnic of treats and baked goods she made using the fruit y’all picked together

-she always sends you home with a basket of assorted fruit when you stop by to visit

-either preserves, dries, or turns all the unused fruit into jams/spreads/butters before they can spoil. If she’s too late and they do spoil they just get turned into fertilizer for the trees. Reduce reuse recycle baby!!!

I sit with these thoughts,,,, I adore the soft so much aaaaaaaa I so feel the missing beesuma so imma ramble about him for a second-

The idea that for some reason you're just a bee magnet is so goddamn cute. Suma can see his hives enjoying a quick rest to get some quick pets or snuggles from you before buzzing off back to work and he just kinda understands. Plopping his weight down on you does have a magic feeling to it

In conclusion, I hold all the headcanons very gently

(Part three!)

It's only natural that the three new hermits would get close, right?

It makes sense that they'd base close by, before fusing them together,right?

Hell, they were always together! Never mind that one looks like a deer caught in headlights whenever they're actually seen beyond the base, questions why being covered by a 'they're just shy', they say. 'You didnt see them? They were just here a moment ago!'

The newbies just have to stick together, you know?

Doc would certainly draw one in with the promise of normal and redstone exploits on top of the topmoat of pranks, being friends with the man behind the "whats up doc?" On the title page after defeating one of the developers of minecraft would certainly be appealing.

But when he took many things to the extreme, and one day, you just couldnt take it and stormed out in a fit of anxious worry.

Turns out he took that relationship to the extreme also.

Zedaph's goofy demeanour really was endearing, the slightly unhinged scientist messing around in a cave of contraptions or a lab alike.

So, being intruiged, you offer to be an assistant. It was innocent at first,making deliveries, passing resources, doing the experiments in his steed when he needed to do other things...

But when he asked for you to be a test subject, you didnt expect(or know, for that matter) the test to be about trying a poison so potent not even milk could remove the effect as you lay exhausted in bed.

But hey,at least zed's here to try and help you through it through his apologies. It wasn't even intentional! He didnt know what caused it to be that way!

...but he did.

He was just lying to himself, and you. If only to cope.

Everyone know's that mumbo's a bit of a spoon, but that doesnt take away the fact that over all that, he can get the job well done. He just isnt the most serious sort.

But those vault door designs were perfected over and over for a reason.

If he messed up one day upon a visit, who knows what would happen if anything left it aside from him?

That was one thing he couldn't overlook.

No one thought much when the newbie trio stuck together. You were more than pleased to have Gem and Pearl to share the "new guy" phase with. But they stuck to the idea of your trio so strongly. You can never leave the area without them freaking out- but it makes sense right? You'd get scared if you thought they were abandoning you too

Doc has so much to bring to the table, and you'd be lying if you said you didn't have a tiny celebrity crush before you joined. However soon you found another side to him. Small things that piled up to you deciding to make a run for it. When (not if) he catches you you'll see the full force of what's been brewing behind the scenes

You've been having alot of fun hanging around Zedaph. Sure his tests and machines made him seem a little unhinged but it's all just the seasons gimmick. It was only natural you'd end up testing his newest creation. In the wake of the worst illness you've ever experienced he was right there to keep you company. Right there to keep am eye on you

Dispite all the insane contraptions he's made mumbo seems so harmless, but if he were to really try he could do some incredibly dark things. You've learned that first hand, just like you've learned that you cannot open the vault door from the inside
