Reasons why I think Jimmy might be a fae:

When splashed with the lore revealing potion, Jimmy became tiny. It might be that the potion is false and just shrunk Jimmy's size, but it is can also be possible that Jimmy turned tiny due to being a fae in disguise.

When talking to the old sheriff [Martyn], the old sheriff calls Jimmy a Pixie. Something EXTREMELY close to a faerie/fae. Not to mention the old sheriff never gave Jimmy his name.

This might not be on purpose but Jimmy is TERRIBLE in PvP lately. He tried killing fWhip twice and failed both times. Faeries are harmed by iron, and Jimmy has a literal railroad made out of it. Maybe it weakened Jimmy but he doesn't even realise it.

Faes don't forgive easily and hold grudges against people who have acted horribly towards them. They sometimes go into the persons way to ruin stuff for them, breaking their stuff.. cursing them... attempting to kill them sometimes as well.

Fae like children a lot more than adults and in some stories are shown playing with them and causing mischief. Jimmy didn't like Hermes at first, but that was only because of Joel. When the law/lore alliance was made Jimmy IMMEDIATELY became nicer to Hermes, even calling him a kind kid at one point. Not to mention Tiny Tom! Jimmy tried so hard to get Tiny Tom back, but that might just be him being a mama bird. It's a cool thought though. [FUN FACT: FAES USUALLY STEAL CHILDREN AS WELL] // EDIT: JIMMY KEPT HIS GOBLIN CHILD BECAUSE HE'S LONELY AND WANTS SOMEONE AROUND, BUT WHEN FWHIP BECOME A NORMAL EMPOROR AGAIN HE THREW THE GOBLIN CHILD AWAY? This gave me many mixed signals.....

Jimmy has NEVER gave his actual name to people in empires, which is James. He uses nicknames for himself near others.

Fae love nature and Jimmy has shown interest in getting more plants and life in Tumbletown, he just doesn't know how to. He has asked Sausage for tips multiple times.

Jimmy might have been a fae at one point and lost his wings, or just ran away from the other faes. It's a cool theory but very unlikely. But then again, we have no idea what Jimmy was before being a sheriff.

Faeries are easily offended and might turn evil if they feel like you have betrayed/wronged them beyond forgiveness. Sounds familiar huh??? *looks at Jimmy and Fwhip aggressively*

Jimmy has done SO MANY THINGS THAT WOULD GET YOU KILLED BY A FAERIE UNLESS YOU WERE ALSO ONE.. He entered a fae ring, said his name near the fae multiple times, accepted a gift from the fae, said sorry AND thank you, went around telling others about his interaction with a faerie, and more... Either Jimmy is a faerie or he's just the faes favourite.

THAT'S ALL FOR NOW!!! COMMENT IF YOU HAVE ANY THEORIES OR EVIDENCE :D I'd love to hear it!!

EDIT: MARTYN/OLD SHERIFF CALLED JIMMY ONE OF THE FAE AND JIMMY QUICKLY DENIED IT!!! Jimmy could be a runaway fae?? Maybe that's why he was so scared of the fae corruption! He might be thinking the faes want revenge.

I love that fanon wise all the empires pre-existed before the current rulers were born.

Because it means False just showed up, started building shit and fixing stuff, and they just put her in charge.

Like "yeah she's a recluse and she definitely kills people, but she doesn't make us pay taxes"

Codfather Solidarity design!

(Closeups and lore under the cut)

The Codfather (a gender neutral position and title) is the leader of the Codlands/Mystic Swamps. There is no lineage to this title, as it is earned.

The Codfather must cover their face and not speak their name, except to those close to them, instead choosing a title for themselves. This is for the sense that the Codfather is a representative of the people and their wishes.

[lemonberry-conda]

Every day I think about Etho's life series video (I forget which, I think it was last life) where he talks about how more diamonds spawn in swamp biomes.

I just imagine Jimmy waking up and being told that some miners found a HORDE of diamonds underground, and suddenly the very humble, down-to-earth Cod Empire is filthy fucking rich.

The people don't change, the empire stays the same essentially, but it turns the Codfather Alliance into an even bigger Juggernaut of wealth and power.

Joel has the land, Pix has the information, Lizzie has the manpower and advantageous trade routes, and Jimmy has the money.

It would be so fucking cool

Roseblings and by extension Grimlands HCs

A lot of fWhips since I'm currently rewatching the first season in his pov.

fWhip is a jack of all trades master of none kind of person and jumps on so many different interests, from potions to explosives to map making to different kinds of mechanical stuff.

Gem has mastery on all forms of magic, although it's more on she was required to master everything due to being Head Wizard.

Their dad's side of the family, the house ruling over the Grimlands, specializes on gunpowder production.

Their mother's side, hailing from the Crystal Cliffs, specialized in potion's brewing as a family trade.

Both Gem and fWhip were thought the basics of potion brewing at a very young age considering that getting straight into gun powder productions is a bit too much for a bunch of kids.

Their dad wasn't really the ruler of the Grimlands but instead it was their uncle who was much older than their father.

Their uncle much preferred Gem over fWhip as the next ruler even if fWhip was older. That all changed when Gem got chosen by Gandalf as the next Head Wizard, much to their uncle's annoyance.

This is mainly because their uncle found fWhip to be too unpredictable and had a hard time controlling the kid. Where, Gem typically just do as the adults say so she was found to be more favorable at that time.

Both of them have ADHD, they just manifested in their own kind of way. Although fWhip was a text book case, Gem tries so hard to appear normal and put together.

Honestly, the both of them try so hard to look like they know what they're doing. Gem more than fWhip.

The old religion in the Grimlands isn't as practiced by many anymore and has been waning in popularity. Gem and fWhip were also indifferent to it when they were kids, but fWhip got interested later once he became ruler.

The Grimland's religion revolves around the redstone deepslate, which is actually connected to the spirit of the Titan that died around the nation.

This Red Titan had a twin. He was very close with this twin of his but one day they had a fight. They argued and things kept getting worse. It eventually turned physical. The both of them fell to the earth, and the both of them died.

From the body of the Red Titan formed redstone deepslate that has been revered in the Grimlands and now powers their machinery. Meanwhile, from the body of his twin formed an Amethyst Geode, the same amethyst that supplies the magic in the Crystal Cliffs.

People don't know of this nor any of the Titans. But their spirits and bodies give magic to the lands the people live in.

When fWhip was younger he could swear he could hear the dark red ores talking to him, but he tried shrugging it off. He decided to pay more attention to it once his interest swung to redstone tech and more after he became the Count of Grimlands.

He doesn't know how to explain this to anyone in fear that they'd ridicule him. But he eventually 'fessed up to his sister and Gem at least didn't made fun of him for it.

In the old house where the two grew up, before their fates were arranged to where they are today, their room had amethysts that were enchanted by their mother to glow like a nightlight to keep them company when it's dark.

At one point when fWhip was visiting their parents, he took them with him and placed it in the bedroom of his manor. The manor he was shipped off to after Gem became Head Wizard in-training.

Genderfluid Jimmy is one of my favourite hc’s ngl

This edit was so fun to make bro, I was just vibing the entire time

[spawnofdeath]

So I'm still pretty hung up on Empires SMP season 1, especially the ending, and I've been having some thoughts about the Codfather. I don't know if this is something other people have also thought about, but I have been having these thoughts for a little while now and I want to finally get them out there.

So. I have been thinking about the Codfather. Having left behind his empire after it was destroyed. After everything was destroyed, and he's pretty sure that everyone blames him. And they're sort of right to, aren't they? In a way it was his fault.

So he wanders off on his own, once again untethered. Losing his connection, losing his heritage, oceanic traits rapidly receding, he looks more human with every passing day. Losing his memories, losing himself. Until all he knows is his name. He's just a guy named Jimmy. He's still immortal, being technically a god, or at least he doesn't age. But he doesn't remember that he's been alive for centuries.

How old is he? Twenty-five? Thirty? He's not sure. He's always been alone, noone to tell him when he was born. Has he always been alone? For as long as he remembers, anyways. How come he remembers nothing of his childhood? Ah, no matter. What would it change if he did?

How long has he been wandering? Probably all his life. Maybe it's time he finally settled down. Just where, is the question.

He keeps wandering, until he finds a place that strikes his fancy. It's an impressive landscape, this. Reminds him of something. Something. If he could just put his finger on what. Someone? A friend? Did he ever have a friend? No matter, if he can't remember them. But sure, this place is nice. Yes. He'll stay here in the mesa.

i have an empires s1 theory and it haunts me so i will make it everyone else's problem.

so um. aeor and exor.

wasn't exor supposed to bring eternal winter? how come then that the one that almost froze the world was scott, and only while xornoth was locked up?

now obviously there is a number of possible reasons and i'm not saying this is The Real One but this is my headcanon and it also hurts the most for me as an older sibling so here goes.

why is scott the one who independently brings along eternal winter? unless he wasn't supposed to be the champion of aeor.

surely the siblings must have heard of this prophecy at some point. imagine if you will, scott is a kid, xornoth is just a little bit older, and he finds out this prophecy and puts it all together and oh no my brother's destined to be corrupted beyond recognition and probably killed.

as an older sibling, one who loves their younger sibling, wouldn't you do anything it takes to make sure that that doesn't happen? even if it means that you have to take his place?

anyway feel free to use this. i want to see pre-corruption xornoth fics so bad, and this headcanon just Hurts Me.

You know the headcanons about Norman and Flick bein Mountain Lions in Empires season 2? Not only do I love it, but you know the thing cc!Jimmy does when he scoops the kitties up and caries them like a baby and kisses their lil heads? The Sheriff does the same thing with both Flick and Norman. 

Yes the imagery of him holding a full grown mountain lion effortlessly like that is hilarious and I believe he deserves it. 

Thank you for comin to my ted talk!

Mayor Lizzie Headcanons are always lovely, share please

Despite being extremely morally corrupt and hiding many dark secrets, Lizzie is actually a very good mayor. She genuinely cares for her citizens and pays attention to/knows everyone in her empire.

There are foxes with slaughterhouses in their basements and frogs working dutifully for the mafia that is Animalia, but they’re all well paid and receive benefits, sick days, and holidays. Poverty is nearly nonexistent and Animalia has one of the lowest crime rates of the empires.

Lizzie still sends Gary’s family monthly paychecks as compensation for his disappearance and plans on doing so until he returns. Which she insists he will.

Despite all of this, Lizzie still acts like a shady and villainous mayor who cares only for money and power. This is completely unintentional, Lizzie herself sees herself as something of a cartoon villain, completely unaware of the good she does.

[empires-s2-headcanons]

The King of the Kingdom of Mezalea was the last of the old rulers to pass on. To keep him company, he had made terracotta clones to look like his old friends. Most of the clones are long gone. Except for one who returned to the mesa, but now believes himself to be human.

HOLY SHIT

[june-on-the-moon]

S1 Shrub headcanons:

Since gnomes usually live under giant mushrooms they don't get a lot of sun (since the mushrooms are giant and also mushrooms need a dark-ish humid environment to grow in) so they would usually have a lot of lanterns and fireplaces in their villages, so Shrub like to decorate her house with a lot of lanterns, candles and other light sources

Shrub would have probably found bright daylight a bit jarring when first arriving in the land of Empires but slowly began to get used to it and even find it comforting. She's very much a morning person and tries to spend as much time in the sun :]

[mcytsideblogsblog]

Ok I know we all love shapeshifter Gem, but what if instead of her changing her one form, she’s a proper celestial being and only putting a tiny piece of herself into people who already have a place in the world.

Like, she wanted to roleplay a fun fantasy life, so she just sort of... commandeered the princess of dawn, and the younger grand wizard Gemini. It helps to explain her having a brother in season 1, and how she heard her own voice through the rift. She was having a conversation with two toys in her hands.

[lemonberry-conda]

I love the idea that Jimmy lives very humbly for no reason other than he doesn't see any value in the opulence his allies and enemies live in.

His house is pretty large, but it's by no means a castle, it's barely a mansion. He has one or two people who heat up water for his baths, do his laundry, cook, and keep his house tidy while he's out working.

He comes home at the end of the day just as weary and filthy as any of his subjects, pond scum dribbling from his hairline into his eyes under his mask, mud caked in the grooved soles of his boots.

He could have someone to massage his sore back, to gently wash and condition his tangled blonde locks. He could fall asleep in silks rubbed with lavender oil and warmed by being dried in front of the fireplace.

But he doesn't want that, he's content to have a quick scrub with plain soap and a cup of mulled cider before passing out on his uneven mattress in the same pair of frayed flannels he wears every other night.

[Eventually he's convinced that he deserves a few luxuries, a nice hot bubble bath instead of a lukewarm plain one, a better mattress, better sheets. He's still not living it up like his peers, but he's comfortable]

Roseblings headcanons updates

Since I've finished the entirety of fWhip's pov around a week ago, I have some updates on some of my previous headcanons. Although a lot of these are really just focused on their childhood.

The twins grew up in the Crystal Cliffs and spent their early years there. Their father preferred they grow up with some fresh air rather than the busy and industrializing Grimlands.

They were very aware of their heritage however. Their father wasn't around for most of the year due to being the viscount and head of the gunpowder industry.

They spent their summers in the Grimlands. Although it wasn't always a luxurious visit despite living in the manor. They'd get dragged around by their father to the family's old gunpowder business and even to some business meetings with other heads of industries.

Other times it's their uncle lecturing them about their future responsibilities. Initially he was very focused on fWhip considering he's the older twin, but soon found him difficult and unpredictable. He then changed his line of succession to Gem due to her more obedient nature compared to fWhip during their younger years.

Gem didn't really enjoyed the Grimlands all that much growing up. It was always overwhelming for her. She preferred the less busy places of the Crystal Cliffs and to stay on their mother's potion business.

She was scared of ever bringing this up but their father was very observant and was instead assured her that he's not upset and he gets it. And that he would be happy regardless of what she wanted in life.

fWhip on the other hand always looked forward to coming to the Grimlands, although the idea of being Count was the least he cared about. I mean, he's like 10 so that makes sense.

He's always after all the shiny new things happening in the busy cities. He always felt like there's so much for him that he could do compared to back home.

fWhip initially had mixed feelings learning about his uncle changing the line of succession. He was confused at first and didn't knew what to make of it. Their father didn't elaborated and seem to refuse to.

But fWhip eventually got berated by their uncle, due to his lack of attention and focus. His uncle wanted big things for the Grimlands and he didn't saw it in fWhip. This affected fWhip heavily and it made the kid question himself since then.

Being the newly assigned heir was a lot of pressure for Gem. At the age of 11 she was already given personal tutoring in the summers. By the next year she was made to move to the manor in the Grimlands permanently to have her focus on being the future Countess.

She was very magically gifted and she received personal magic tutors from the Crystal Cliffs Academy, the most prestigious magic school in all the lands. One of them suggested to her uncle to have her study in the academy instead but was shut down immediately. Her uncle would rather she focused on being Countess.

The magic lessons were always what she looked forward to in her studies. She found out about one of her tutors suggesting her to study in the Crystal Cliffs Academy and a part of her lit up at the thought, she always dreamed of studying there. But all that excitement was put out immediately after learning that she won't be.

fWhip, now left living without Gem by his side developed a sense of insecurity after being removed from heir status. He loved the Grimlands but he didn't cared about all the politics, so why did it hurt? Now he's stuck helping his mother's family in making potions without a Gem to bother.

His mother tried cheering him up but to no avail. He decided to fake being alright just to stop his mother from pestering him about it.

He tried ignoring the whole thing but it was hard when there was a noticeably empty bed across his.

They did wrote to one another. Their father encouraged it. Gem always wrote about her new busy life, while fWhip tells her how nothing much changed in his day. They'll give their pleasantries and after that they don't know what else to write about. They don't know what to ask. Nothing too personal to tell eachother, so they believe. (Tbf, they're both like 12. They don't really know how to navigate their predicament)

And I think I'll leave it at here for a while. This deffo is turning into its own thing now but I really can't stop myself. I want to continue more on this little angst fest developing and explain how did Gem ended up in the Academy. I promise by the time they're adults they've gotten along and are now close.
