Wixelt's Masterpost Index

ACTIVE PROJECTS:

Hermitphibia AU (Hermitcraft/Amphibia)

Imagine the plot of Amphibia, but the Hermits end up stuck there as well, somehow.

Chronicles Logos (Neon Genesis Evangelion/Misc.)

A record of all the logos I've made while co-writing the MST3K-style fic Chronicles with my buddy @bgc-592.

I also have active projects that currently lack an index, such as the Hermit Tales AU (Hermitcraft), The Immortal Marcy Wu AU (Amphibia) and several minor Amphibia or Hermitcraft related ideas.

INACTIVE PROJECTS:

Voided AU (Hermitcraft)

A shelved AU about Zedaph breaching a hole in bedrock and unleashing the smog of the Void onto the entire Season 7 world.

I also have inactive projects that lack an index due to either being old or very short, such as the Broken Falls AU (Gravity Falls), Season β AU (Hermitcraft), Overrun AU (Hermitcraft) and Hermitverse AU (Hermitcraft/Misc. MCYT).

Then there's also some one-off idea posts I'm still personally proud of related to some of the above but also things like Fairy Tail and Stargate, but I might add those to this at a later time.

Enjoy!

What is Shadow Weaver doing in the Hermitdak au? or I should say Light Spinner?

Shadow Weaver. Honestly lets be real, she was already power hungry in vanilla, the Horde just gave her an excuse to chase after more power.

I don't know what her new excuse would be in hermitverse but I think I had discussed with @etherian-affairs about her going corrupt but ending up becoming the High Mage for fhe Scorpions. And there's already conflict between the Scorpion kingdom and brightmoon but at that point we were throwing shit at the wall to see what would stick.

Tl;dr shes still a power hungry bitch who found a new excuse to use whatever darkmagic that turned her into a leech.

Sand (Hermitverse AU)

The first thing False Symmetry really noticed, beyond the splitting headache pounding unrelentingly at her skull, was the heat.

It bore down on her with an unrelenting fury that little else save for fire and lava could match. Before she'd even opened her eyes, she knew she had to be in a desert.

As if the sand shifting beneath her hands and the blazing sunlight piercing her eyelids wouldn't have told her that already.

Prone on her back, False groaned, doing her best to push through the painful miasma clouding her thoughts. She cracked one eye open slowly, then the other, wincing only slightly as the sun’s glare brightened in her gaze.

“Owww...” she shook her head weakly, staring up at the cloudless sky above. Steeling herself, she gritted her teeth. “O-Okay, let's try...”

Then, with another groan of aching effort, she drew her legs inward, pivoting upward and forward into a sitting position as best she could. Joints still protesting, she slumped, catching her breath as her body decided exactly how messed up it was.

False would normally have said she'd been through worse and would be fine, but as much as that might have been true for the pain itself, she really had no precedent for, well, any of this, really.

“What was it...?” she muttered wearily to herself, still a small part delirious as she glanced about, searching for any notable landmarks as she sought to get her bearings on exactly how she’d wound up in this situation. But…

Nope. Just sand, sand, more sand and— oh look, even more sand over there, too. Joy.

It probably didn't help that she was surrounded on all sides by tall, imposing dunes and sand cliffs. That kind of thing really limited how far someone could see.

Which meant there was probably some climbing in her near future.

False’s headache – though slowly fading – pulsed again, reminding her that she was in no fit state to even stand properly, let alone make that sort of ascent.

Normally, she’d listen to common sense. In the face of… whatever was going on, though...

False managed to begin only barely standing before she visibly winced, immediately dropping and clutching her head with a barely restrained cry of pain, sand displacing slightly beneath her as she abruptly fell, feet sliding out from beneath her.

Okay, so… Maybe not just yet.

“Damn.” The blonde warrior sighed to herself, running her hands down her face in an effort to centre herself, wiping the perspiration from her eyes. She really wasn’t liking being a sitting duck like this. It didn’t suit her at all.

Especially given what was happening.

…

…come to think of it, what was happening?

False’s brow furrowed, doing her best to draw together scattered fragments of recent memory floating about amidst her disarray. They were… less than cooperative, but slowly a picture she could recognize began to form, to her slight relief.

She remembered… panic. That, at least, had been pretty consistent.

In fact, she was fairly sure that once the shock of suddenly waking up in a blisteringly hot desert wore off and she was able to overcome her mild concussion to get her whereabouts, some manner of nervous breakdown would be due.

That wasn’t going to be very constructive at the moment, though, so as for now…

There’d been a light, of some kind, False recalled. This unnatural, all-consuming glow that had descended from the heavens above, washing over the island and all its surroundings in twisted, impossible waves. The land itself had almost felt as if it were unravelling beneath her feet, the air permeated by this inescapable sense of… wrongness.

Though she was wary to admit it, it recalled the unease she sometimes felt around one of Impulse’s void holes, cracked in the bedrock to appease whatever new manner of joking pseudo deity a ‘Boatem’ was meant to be. This time, however, the feeling had been multiplied a thousand-fold, instincts screaming at her to run in the other direction.

The pieces beginning to slot back into place, she remembered that as the broken light had subsumed all before them, she and Jevin had stepped between it and the other two in the group, Stress and Gem both caught in the moment, neither a pushover but both frozen in the suddenness of the situation, unsure what to do.

Against such a large wave of force, however, such an act – though one False hoped would be seen as courageous rather than stupid in hindsight – had been pointless, and she had whited out, only to wake amidst burning sands with – unless her senses were deceiving her – a completely drained internal inventory.

Alone.

In a creepy desert that was – the longer she paid attention it – seeming more and more unsettlingly quiet, even lacking much wind in its stillness.

Which meant… Wait.

“Oh no…” Eyes bulging in alarm, False shot to her feet to with practised but haphazardly frantic speed, “Oh no, no, no… No!” Her skull pulsed again, but it was weak enough now that she could ignore it. With nothing more than a brief, dizzied stumble, she was moving.

Suddenly, the glaring and alarmingly absolute absence of three others was the only thing on her mind.

“JEVIN!” False’s booted feet scrabbled wildly against the unhelpfully loose sand, the soft and uneven ground easily giving way with every step as she desperately scrambled up the side of one of the dunes, seeking higher ground. Her voice echoed for a moment amidst the dunes and cliffs with a call for the friend within the trio that she’d known the longest, but it was quickly swallowed up by the desert’s oppressive emptiness.

No answer.

“GEM?!” Her tone was more fear-tinged, now, sights darting back and forth searchingly as she rose faster, now, finally finding some more solid footing beneath the top layer. Quickly, she surged forward, one foot in front of the other as she called out for a more recent friendship a second time, “GEM!”

Still no answer.

Please, come on…

“…STRESS…?” False tried, a little weaker but no less vocal, for the ray of unyielding positivity she hoped would uncloud this mess, trailing off a little as hopelessness clawed at her, no response once again leading to an eerie, uncomfortable silence. She did her best to brush it aside, however. She was stronger than that. She had to be, for them.

They’d… They’d probably just been scattered. That had to be it. They were almost certainly around here somewhere. All she needed to do was find them, and they could make their way back to the island – though only the gods knew just how they’d ended up in such a distant and unfamiliar desert biome, far beyond the limits of their new world’s current resource gathering borders – and Xisuma could clear up this whole mess.

It’d just be another weird happening that the Hermits could all look back on years from now and laugh about… right?

Even as the thought crossed her mind, something in the pit of False’s stomach – some long-refined warrior’s instinct – told her that wasn’t going to happen.

The others were all resourceful when push came to shove, though. They… They’d be fine until they could group up.

“Ungh…” False grunted, staggering slightly and almost losing her footing on the unstable ground. She scowled to herself, pressing ever onward to the potential vantage point up above, only steps away from her, now. To a place where she could work out where the others were, and equally as much where she was. “Come on…” With one final push, accompanied by a grunt of effort, she finally crested the top of the vast dune.

“Good… Right!” she wiped the sweat from her brow. “Now where… am… I…?”

False slowed to a stop atop the dune, trailing off into the overbearing silence. She fell slack jawed, struck dumb as the gravity of her situation set in from the sight before her alone.

In the days and weeks to come – and even beyond that – this feeling of being completely and dangerously out of her depth would be propagated by how this terrible, lonely eldritch desert seemed to span infinitely in every direction, no trace or slightest notation of healthy green visible on the horizon no matter which way she looked. The true sign of a dying world.

The lack of any doorways, hidden as they were, out of this realm and into others – the kind that usually appeared in every world, be they natural or admin placed – would only further exacerbate that feeling once the initial wave of helplessness passed.

Right now, however, there was one thing and one thing alone that drew her attention. That caused her skin to crawl at its very sight, though she did not yet entirely know why.

And it filled her entire vision like a looming titan, still a good distance away but a vast and unignorable dark, mechanical blotch on the hellish sands around, nonetheless.

False stared at the giant, rusting mechanical hand, half-submerged in the yellow surface, reaching for the heavens, fingers outstretched in an unmoving, statue-like impression of life. A moment frozen in time and yet telling of a long spanning, lost history that was best left unknown.

And though it lacked eyes with which to stare out at her, False knew it saw her too.

“Oh… Crap.”

----

Ages ago, I had an idea. An idea that featured the MCYTverse suffering a massive metaphysical event that severs/destabilizes connections between most worlds, energetic events befalling the worlds closest to the epicenter.

In this AU, the Hermits’ world would be one of the closest, causing it to be scrambled and the Hermits to be scattered to the winds, thrown to the great beyond and spat out elsewhere, washing up across the multiverse, alone where they don’t belong. Some would arrive in worlds with friends, some in worlds with faces familiar to you or me but lesser known to them, and some in worlds long forgotten.

The ways between worlds would be unstable, making hopping through a portal to reunite with friends near-impossible.This would be a challenge to be tackled alone. And with such diverse situations - and crossover potential - each Hermit would have their own difficulties.

At the time, I didn’t go ahead with the AU because I was told someone else was already planning an near-identical AU, but I've seen little signs of it since, and have concluded that there’s also no reason two AUs with similar premises can’t coexist anyway.

So while I don’t know if i’ll carry on from this, I had a fic snippet idea I wanted to get out for this Hermitverse AU, so feel free to let me know what you think, and if I got False’s “voice” right. Also, I haven’t stated the world she’s ended up in, but I feel like it’s a relatively easy guess contextually, and I may add it to the tags once someone picks up on it. :P

Enjoy!

Debating whether to rewrite my barely started Hermitverse AU opening snip in light of the S8 finale, because a moon-fall feels like its almost the perfect disaster to scatter the Hermits (no wonder people are still saying the Scattered AU is plausible, now :P).

That said, a certain Hermatrix confirmation of context kind of sinks the entire AU, so i’m a little split. :P

[wixelt]

Putting this out for a Hermitverse AU related thing that I really need to know.

I like Dream SMP conceptually, but I struggle - and have always struggled - to keep up with what’s going on. I never had or have time to watch streams, so I just tend to dip in and out of tidbits whenever they come across my dash.

As a result, I have literally no idea what’s going on at the moment when I really need to. So, with that in mind, if someone wouldn’t mind giving me a brief recap of the current state of things, especially with players such as Tommy, i’d be really appreciative. :P

[wixelt]

Quick question to test the waters. If I were to write more for the Hermitverse AU beyond just False, would people be interested?

Also, in the same vein, asks are eternally open for it as with my other AUs, so if anyone wants to throw questions at me, i’d love that. :)

[wixelt]

Hermitverse

Have had the name ‘Hermitverse’ stuck in my head all day, so i’m going to attach an AU/setting idea for it - taking a little inspiration from the Scattered AU by @hermitcraftheadcanons - and see if it sticks.

The MC universe suffers a massive metaphysical event/crisis that causes most of the worlds/servers to lose their connections to most other servers, the remaining links becoming unstable and/or intermittent (e.g. while the MCC server was once connected to countless others, it’s now only linked to maybe 3, with anyone else having make many, many jumps between worlds to get there). Many worlds experience random phenomenon, with things getting worse and increasingly unpredictable the closer to the accident the world was.

The Hermits’ world ends up being one of the closest worlds to the epicenter of the incident, causes that world to become scrambled and the Hermits (and well as players from several other worlds that may or may not be known or just random throwaways) to be scattered to the winds, thrown into the great beyond and being spat out elsewhere, washing up all across the four corners of the MC universe.

The result is the Hermits lost and alone in places they don’t belong. Some are in worlds with friends (imagine Grian turning up in the Dream SMP world - still connected to the MCC server but in utter chaos and panic), some are in worlds with MCYT faces familiar to you or me but lesser known to the Hermits, and some find themselves lost in worlds long since forgotten and abandoned (imagine False and/or Stress waking up in the ruins of the once great land of the Yogscast’s Minecraftia - departed long ago by its populous and choked with sand and giant robots).

The ways between worlds are unstable and hard to predict. They can’t just hop through a portal and reunite with their friends.

This is a challenge they will have to tackle alone.

And with such diverse situations - and hypothetical crossover potential - each Hermit’s challenges will present its own difficulties.

If people are interested in me actually doing something with this concept, let me know. :)

Foolverse au? Hermitverse au? I adore, but they've given me the idea for a Lovers equivalent and that groupchat is 10000% gonna have the energy of "Drunk Girls In The Club Bathroom Complimenting Each Other And Encouraging You To Dump Your Shitty Boyfriend"

Yes also

Chariotverse: Buff buds, working out, talking about how cool their friends are.

Magicianverse: discussing memes, arguing about food.

Emperorverse: Drama squad. This is just the theater kid group chat, probably get into arguments very often

Priestessverse: Like one of those mom discussion boards but specifically for mom friends

Empressverse: The group chat equivalent of a tea party

Justiceverse: We do not talk about our feelings but also it’s nice to be validated sometimes

Faithverse: Depends on when it happens but like either very supportive athlete group chat or just “Everyone here has some god damn issues”

[yusuke-of-valla]

Could you talk about hermit ryuji and makoto in your hermitverse au? I was curious about those two.

Ryuji

Username: Mojo-jojo

One day Ryuji saw something he shouldn’t’ve so the conspiracy decided to “dispose” of him.

Luckily the Cleaner wasn’t super big on murdering kids so he just broke Ryuji’s femur to send the message and asked Iwai to keep an eye on him to make sure he didn’t get into trouble. Yay? So instead of Iwai directly being Ryuji’s caretaker, he’s the nice neighbor who checks in on him while Ryuji’s mom is out working.

Because of that and the fact that Ryuji couldn’t run anymore he became a shut-in and started teaching himself computer stuff to try and figure out what exactly it is he stumbled into.

This is another one that I’m not sure has a Palace? If he does it could be something focused around like, vengeance

Makoto

Username: koko

Makoto became a shut in after her father was killed by Shido,

Palace was based on being obsessed with work, and I was thinking something like a courthouse

Her room is covered head to toe with a conspiracy board, and like in the main universe she gets involved with the PT by stalking them.

I don’t know if you’ve watched Fantasy High but if you have then I can tell you my inspiration was “Riz Gukgak but w/o the Bad Kids”

[wixelt]

Okay, so since the Hermitverse AU idea I had is very similar/almost identical to one a group is already working on (thanks for the tip-off on that @hermitcraftheadcanons, by the way - looking forward to reading it when it turns up), I've decided i’m going to occasionally rattle out random Hermitcraft AU ideas until one that both isn’t already done and sparks my creativity comes about.

I was going to try a Zombie Apocalypse AU, but apparently that’s been done as well.

Also had an idea for a space AU where each Hermit from a different planet in the cosmos, but after contributing to the Scattered AU, I've decided i’m fond of AUs that play into the “canon” Hermit world, and also occasionally its possible existence within a larger MC personality/SMP based universe (Legacy, Dream SMP, MCC, etc.), so i’m going to try and start there, ideas-wise.

As of now, though... that means I've got nothing. :P
