I am not too certain when I’ll actually post the first chapter of the fic (maybe Friday 👀) but for now, here’s some more info on it for funzies :3
So, Pearl, Grian, and Jimmy are siblings and royals within this AU. Pearl’s the queen and twins with Grian, and Jimmy is their younger brother by a year and a half. Outside of that, Pearl has her top knights which are called the Lunar Knights! This includes Etho, Lizzie, Jimmy, andddd Ren! While Ren is apart of the Lunar Knights, he’s more specifically Pearl’s personal guard.
Moving to characters outside of the palace, Gem, Martyn, Tango, and Mumbo are all mercenaries. Gem is her own separate entity while the other three work together. Martyn and Gem share a flat and are essentially just mlm and wlw hostility /J.
There are other characters that will come into play but for now !! There’s some silly info !! I really just used this AU to explore dynamics I enjoy/think are underrated and it’s generally self indulgent. Though, the way people are grouped up was sort of randomized,,,, long story short this AU is technically an AU of a separate AU I lost inspo for. And the groups were randomized there so,,, ya!
my only explanation for why xb and keralis didn't place top 3 on the hermitblr gay sex survey is because not enough people are aware of HOW bad they are. so i offer a compilation. /lh
i love how ever since season 8 the hermits have been addicted to building right next to each other and linking their bases together. they were forced to learn about community by the size of the continent and now theyre all obsessed.
recent events have me remembering that I think on a vodskall video iskall admitted he enjoys joel because he’s fun to mess with and has funny reactions, like mumbo. this tells us so much about the psyche of the iskall. the fact this involves sending spam love letters I think adds something to this image too but given how iskall and mumbo are (or iskall and stress for that matter), if we view this as “iskall has decided that joel can be a mumbo”, this really was only inevitable, actually.
that and he’s gone a bit insane clearing that ocean monument. that also,
