Bruv I’ve been insanely obsessed over the Magnus Archives over the past year (finally finishing it aft 2years ! ! ) and the moment I saw a hermitcraft au of it I was hooked man. HOOKED I tell you! So after reading this fic by @sixteenth-days! and seeing the amount of art people have on twitter + here, I got even deeper into it! Additionally!! It’s my first time doing a full piece + drawing Pearl so that got me even more hyped AHAHAHAHHAHAHA but I am quite proud of this piece :D
(side ramble but what fear entity would this be aligned to? My first thought was The Dark but would that make sense??? With the moon being bright and stuff and the extinguished sun? Honestly, no idea man but Pearl gives me HEAVY Manuela Dominguez vibes! Then my second thought was of The Vast??? Like space is big and big = vast ! And also Ex Altoria vibes!! Following that train of thought, if she is an avatar of the Vast, maybe it’ll be possible to have something similar like the Fairchilds but in this case, the Moon family? Moonshine family? Man, so many thoughts in so little time! Feel free to come scream at me and share your opinions though!! I would love to talk about it with someone :D)
Also! If you want to, consider interacting with my twitter? Would love to find moots :]
drew cleo! Not going to lie, I don’t watch her content a lot but I love her skin and design! And also I love watching her being in the king’s court, she’s so sarcastic, I love it :))
Sketch page for this is about a stuffed bird au by @theminecraftbee ! :D I swear this fic broke me to a subatomical level it’s so GOOD!!sidhidhwihdw God I loved Mumbo and Evil X dynamic sososo much and I adore the characterization of Evil X, especially with regards to Xisuma <///3
HELLO EVERBODY I THINK IT’S MORE HERMIT ARCHIVES BRAINROT :DDDD
First off!! Inspired by this and this! Incredibly cool art and ideas!!
so anyway, the idea of Etho being the ex-archivist is making me feral. But I have no idea how that’s going to go so here’s my rendition!!
End Avatar! Etho being the most chill avatar ever? In the way that The End knows that everything will come back to it, this man practically does nothing for his fear god, like no ritual or anything !
But what he does do is be an agent of chaos and being a menace in general!
He probably just likes to stand around in the background for hours waiting for someone to see him,, and when someone eventually does he just open his scarred eye and probably tell them when they’re going to die or something before just vanishing into thin air
and his second eye totally just RIPS open along his scar and staring into it, you’ll realise that it’s a void filled with various pupils of strange shapes and sizes staring back at you. Having them focus on you will probably give you the most dread feeling of existential crisis ever?? Like not in a “oh everything is going to die one day and there’s nothing I can do about it oh well” but in a ““oh dang I’m going to die one day and everyone will forget about me and there will be a point where there’s completely no memory of me left in this world” way. Fun!
he loves to watch + observe afterwards and honestly??? Would have been a good Eye avatar but he can’t stop himself from bothering people and I think that’s neat!
also something something scar and etho being on the same spectrum but at the opposite but I can’t figure out what is it yet!
LISTEN... I know this is a super niche topic but I saw the chinese period drama ethubs au from @swamp-chicken and my mind immediately started firing 1000 ideas,,,
Also: I was obsessed with chinese harem dramas for like a period of time yet I didn't understand much because my Chinese was (and is still!) horrible so I might butcher alot of historical significance, but that's okay! It's all fun and games :))))
But yes anyway: some ideas::: Etho was an assassin/mercenary that was adopted (under a guise of being a missing prince or smth) by the TIES royal family (Tango and Skizz!) to murder Emperor Bdubs so as to liberate TIES and to bring back their first prince, a certain ImpulseSV, which they had to marry off to secure their alliance with The Clockers. While originally Impulse was totally slated to be Bdubs' Empress, Empress Dowager Cleo had Impulse to be the Imperial Noble Consort (皇贵妃 Huáng guì fēi) instead so as to not be able to challenge her and thus maintain Cleo's influence. Not that Cleo is an evil stepmom or anything, but in that she knows the kingdom needs to present a united and strong front (that honestly, Bdubs can't handle now) so as to wave off internal rebellions from their court. Despite the arranged marriage however, I could totally see Impulse and Bdubs still loving each other deeply and being soulmates (platonic or wtv!)
And! assuming Etho would be of similar royal status as Impulse, I'm going to pretend he went in as a Noble Consort (贵妃 guì fēi), a level below Impulse. Or! He entered as a lower-tiered concubine and slowly rose the ranks due to Bdubs favour??? Anyway, Etho assumes that this would generate a ton of hatred from Impulse, seeing that Etho kind of took over Impulse position back home and is now the main object of Bdubs affection, but Impulse is totally chill with it and is just happy to have someone from his nation to be with him. This causes a ton of misunderstanding and shenanigans where Impulse would do something nice for Etho and Etho being immediately suspicious. Like Impulse sewing a herb pouch for Etho and Etho being like "oh dang there's probably some poisonous herbs in here" and not wearing it at all which leads to Impulse asking about it casually and Etho just PANICKING and swearing buckets.
AND oh my god I could totally see Etho falling in love with Bdubs but refusing to acknowledge it or do anything about it for the sake of the mission™. Like Bdubs does nearly get poisoned (perhaps from the bad boys or even Etho himself?) but when Etho sees Bdubs almost ingesting the poison, he gets an "Oh shit" moment and finally realising his feelings and snatches away the poison, ingesting it himself and just almost dies. Leading!??? To a recovery scene between Ethubs where they finally talk things out like mature adults and confess their real feelings towards each other. :D
Also I just needed an excuse to draw Etho in traditional Manchu clothes because if that's one thing about historical harem dramas, you know that they are serving LOOKS every episode. (attached below :] )
