manifesting fwip trying to tell tango that jimmy is corrupt and tango just gets up and leaves goblands to go ranch it up with jimmy, because how dare Fwip speak like that about his rancher >:(

That would be fun but I think Tango is too friendly for that, and also he loves the drama.

Can we talk about what a little tea drinker Tango is? Tango loves tea and has zero concept of conflict of interest until Something happens. He was so chummy with Scott right up until he stole their goats despite even acknowledging the other bullying being done to them. His reaction to bad things happening is always 'that's great I love that for them' he just loves chaos.

Tango is probably going to spend a bunch of time building silly contraptions for Gobland while simultaneously hanging out in Tumble Town and just mindlessly have the rivalry go in one ear and out the other as entertainment until an Incident. That or maybe he'll accidentally solve their spat. It sounds like the hermits might build their own little space too so they might not be staying in any specific empire.

I am looking forward to him interacting with the other empires though. I hope he hangs out with Shubble a bit more he seemed to adore her empire.

shipping asks: this one was hard because all of the ships i care about presently are ‘the rich tapestry of false/scar that exists in my head’ and ‘false/gem where in s8 they kind of almost have a thing but then after the ending they both run away from each other and it’s odd and bad’ so i guess. treebark. or the first wlw ship that comes to mind

Gemshrub: Ship It

What made you ship it?

empires S1 - I don't think their characters interact that much but god I wish they had more because their dynamic could be so interesting to me. i've been thinking about S1 gem a lot recently and how weird a character she is and i think it would have made sense for her to be close with shubble because of her whole Last of her kind deal, PLUS her knowledge of the corruption.. gem to me is very much a researcher and scholar and i think they could have started a weird Thing that neither of them are really sure of what it is (shrub is a few years younger and has never been in a relationship, while gem isn't really sure if she even has feelings for shrub at all..) I'd like to believe they reunited some years after the rapture and end up living somewhat happily 💙 sorry nature wives fans ilike it too especially in S2 but this one just makes sense to me

What are your favorite things about the ship?

they're just kinda weird. i think atp it's obvious ill only care about a ship if they're either insane about each other or don't even know what they are LMFAO

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

I don't know if people actually ship this at all LOL so I don't know if I can have an unpopular opinion other than it exists to me

Treebark: Don’t Ship It

Why don’t you ship it?

Ahhhg okay this is hard because technically I would but I said I didn't ship FH and they're much the same to me so I have to keep consistent. I do believe they both love each other but. The entire relationship is built off a lie and then obsession and it just stings a little too hard. They definitely are in love but this is not a good thing yk. Martyn is crazyyyy

What would have made you like it?

again I do like it just. Not in the way some of its fans might LAWL

Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?

YES i like treebark so much because it helped me start to like martyns character a bit more. Sorry. But before I thought about treebark (only in the last like six months. and like the short bit before last life dropped) I associated him wholly with the watchers stuff and I just didn't really care about him at all but seeing a few things made me Think and now i really like them both. Far from my faves I could not go analysing them or whatever but idk. Actual definition of "keep your dog on a leash" but the dog is a human and also its Martyn not the guy with dog in his name. The fact he originally intended to betray him but ended up staying loyal and then only had that betrayal arc three seasons later when ren was conveniently not around to see it. Screams into a paper bag. Ohhh martyn I could have gone so crazy for you if you were not written by a man I have accidentally created parasocial beef with

[oliveyeen]

i haven’t seen everyone’s finales in empires, only shubbles. BUT can i just say i LOVE the interactions between sausage and shubble?? like i love their dynamic, especially sausage’s evil alter ego (who i refer to him as his twin bc lmao aeor n exor,,, i ain’t forgetting-)

but recently i noticed the similarities between shubble and sausage’s characters, both season 1 and 2.

shubble (s2) and sausage (s1) both wanted to prove that they were worth something, and it usually involved w/ magic; witch shelby wanting to prove she was a great witch, eventually being expelled and even painted as a criminal by the academy, and being corrupted by the skulk; and sausage who, with the majority of the rulers having magic, he too wanted to obtain, which eventually lead to him being corrupted and a champion(?) of xornoth. both managed to redeem themselves in the end, even tho sausage from s1 became his evil alter ego from the looks of it-

meanwhile, shrub (s1) and sausage (s2), being both magic users or magically infused, were forced to flee from their homes due a force. shrub fled and hasn’t found her people due to xornoth, and sausage fled due to the king of his land; he wasn’t able to find his mother BUT reunited with eddie! i haven’t seen sausage’s ending yet, but judging from the thumbnail, sausage had to leave sanctuary along with the other refugees for a reason. this is similar to shrub, who left with her wolf pack when she discovered some of her people made it out and escaped, and thus went to search for them.

i don’t know if this was intentional on both of their parts, but i rlly like it! especially when both sausage (s1) and witch shelby (s2) were defeated in a similar way; sausage shooting an arrow, which almost killed shelby and gem defeating sausage in a duel. BUT both survived and redeemed themselves in the end. i also like how sausage was there in shelby’s mind space when she was on the verge of death. i think it rlly showed that sausage went through the same thing as shelby in season 1 and comforted her when it was over.

idk i just rlly like their dynamic in this season, and IF season 3 does happen i hope we see their characters interact in the same way! these two made me giggle and aww a lot this season LMAO.

[soulfairre-slamamancer]

what if. just maybe. the rift was caused by xornoth?/hj im not serious about this theory, but hey

i mean, in empires s1 xornoth and scott were canonically brothers. pearl was in season 1 of empires, but not s2; she switched to hermitcraft but scott stayed with empires. same with shubble and fwhip, who were the first and most affected by the corruption and xornoth. also lizzie, with connections, but not horribly affected by the corruption.

and after the final battle, they trapped him in a crystal

when the rapture occurred, xornoth escaped the crystal

the rift(at least on empires side) was decorated with crystals, almost like a calling card.

in season two, shelby is the resident witch of the server, the only resident of the evermoore

and, according to her, the evermoore seems to be “haunted”. Similar in fashion to xornoth’s behavior when the corruption was just starting in the undergrove. the first noted instance was in her 3rd episode, when she mentioned she hears weird noises in the mangrove at night and fog that plays tricks, hinting that the fog is the source of the voices

in season 1, lizzie held the book of prophecies; predicting core events that were the negative points in the season. in season 2, she has an amethyst business; the crystals and blocks surrounding and in the site of the rift(empires side). as well the citizens of animalia are animals on two legs, the only call back was the axolotl-enderman creature that she found with the prophecy.

shelby haunted; creepy happenings occuring post dragon-death. lizzie with the cards; bipedal animals and crystals. now how bout fwhip and scott?

fwhip is a goblin, too consumed in creating a booming city beneath the mountain to notice just about anything; but the cavern is exactly what ties him to the rift. a small, unseeming cave on the side of a mountain that cracked and expanded into a massive portal. as well as he sent sniff, snort’s older brother, through the portal. in his pursuit of business, hes created a whole lot of unbalance

and scott? well sorry but i havent watched much of his pov, however i know his portal is covered in tendrils similar to the ones spread by xornoth’s corruption

something common between most of things is the color purple. crittercity and anamalia’s town hall having purple roofs and amethyst. shelby’s shop’s roof and her wand’s aura is purple (according to scott). the end (yknow cuz its just yellow, white and poiple). xornoths lil glowy bits. the rift is all purple, all of it.

this is entirely brought forth by a random thought that flew through my brain whilst i was listen to empires the musical. specifically, “you’re gonna see more of your old friend xornoth”

love adhd lol, also ive only watched empires and not hermitcraft which is why ive only been pointing to examples from empires

[affableboar-zero]

Did you ever make the post w outfit descriptions for guns for hir

I made a sort of post for it, which you can find here:

But, a few of the outfits I have yet to describe properly! I've been busy this week, but I have plans to show off Katherine's, Oli's, Pearl's, Pixl's, Shubble and Xornoth. I can show off what I have but these designs were from about two years ago so they may not be 100% accurate

The first one is Joey, both before and After the Water Treatment Plant Explosion

Then Pearl's design after the same Explosion

Then Pixl and Joey

Katherine design by the lovely @yut-art who makes a lot of insane designs for Guns for Hire that you should definitely check out!!

And finally a Joel and Oli Enforcer designs

I also published designs for Xornoth and Finale!Oli as I'll explained a little more about how Corruption and Enders work :)) you can find that here:

[sawasourjuice]

can you draw corrupt witch shubble 👉👈

I’ve gotten so many asks abt corrupt witch Shubble 😭😭😭 I love her and I’d like to draw her but it’s probably not happening anytime soon

[grimaussiewitch]

Empires Eggpire:

I’ve said it before how I think hermtis would react if the egg from the dream smp came to their server. A classic egg empire arc because I love that arc so much. Just the concept of an alien esq egg coming to a server and seeing how a character reacts to it is so cool to think about. So a course I had to do empires smp!

It should be noted that I’m talking about season 2 empire characters but if you want season 1 please do tell.

Pix: He is 100% getting possessed. I’m sorry that man would want to research the history of the egg and how it ended up on the server, you’re telling me he wouldn’t be interested in it’s offers? He would want to take a piece of it to his museum and then feel pain from trying to chip away a few pieces of the egg. He’s a curious man. Maybe a leader too.

Scott: Too big to bring it to his black market business and probably feels unease or indifference about it. Would definitely step in if it starts taking away colour from his empires though. Colour man needs his rainbow palette, black, white and red won’t do.

Lizzie: There needs to be a possessed cat in every eggpire, it’s the lore. Anyway, Lizzie feels 50/50 to me. She gives the vibes that she’ll turn away from the egg or she’ll follow it because it offers chickens.

Jimmy: On one hand Jimmy feels like the Puffy or Sam type that would arrest the egg because it’s a danger to the server. On the other hand this is Jimmy we’re taking about. I’m not too sure if he would get possessed but the corrupt sherif troupe is readily available, just saying.

Shubble: She is throwing every single potion she has at the egg. Shubble wants to help her friends with her magic and potions, she cured a possessed Cub before so she can do it again. I do think she might be getting a bit possessed in canon right now so sorry to Shrubs but I don’t think she would be immune to the egg. Perhaps there’s promises of safety, love and friendship.

Joel: He’s either staying completely out of it because he’s indifferent, joins out of spite to the law or hates the egg because it called him mean names. However Joel would not be able to stop the egg on his own. We’ve seen in canon before that a god of lightning and thunder had no power in the egg’s domain.

Joey: That man will either try to steal the egg or get possessed trying. Joey will either follow the egg’s doing if that means he gets what he wants. Or he will scoff at it because that’s just a big dumb egg, it can’t boss this pirate around.

False: Very unease by it. She’s not having a great time with it. However, I think she can murder for the eggpire, as a treat. I need to catch up to false lore but maybe she wants stability or strength so she accepts the egg’s promises. I’m not too sure how False would react.

Sausage: The vibe I’m getting is very terrified and not trusting at all. I can’t really see him joining the eggpire, I can’t think of a good motive to why he would. Plus Bubbles would not approve. Also some blood red sheep that he can talk to wouldn’t be the best conversation.

Katherine: She’s already planning on attacking the egg as we speak. She already has enough problems in her empires, an evil egg is like any other monster. She’s up for the challenge!

Fwhip: Hmmm, this is a tricky one. I can’t picture Fwhip getting possessed unless it has something to do with the sherif’s badge. But at the same time he has the toy shrine so I don’t think the egg would want to touch him.

Oli: For a treat I think he would be immune. You know how the eggpire hated Tommy and wanted him dead? Yeah, that but it’s Oli. He’s out hearing singing his silly little bard songs in his silly little bard outfit. Meanwhile the egg, fed up and annoyed, is planning on ripping Oli limb by limb. Can’t tell if Oli would have balls of steel and mock the egg or would end up terrified of the egg.

Gem: Oh hell no, she already has her own cult, there’s no way she’ll abandon praying to bdubs for a giant egg. Gem wouldn’t be interested in the egg until it starts to breach and infect all of the empires. She’s seen it before with a new corrupt force (*cough cough* rentheking) so she’ll join forces to stop the egg. However, if Gen was to get possessed and can still travel between worlds, we could potentially have patient zero. Spread the eggpire’s message to other servers.

I would go to my hermit eggpire post for ideas on how the egg spawned in the first place but here’s some more little headcanons:

Depending which empire the egg resides in, the leader on that area would call Pix in to observe this strange object. Most likely areas are as follow: The Ancient Capital, Cogsmeade, The Evermore, Goblands and Tumble Town.

Empires would take the egg as a more serious threat compared to the hermits because lore.

The Egg would most likely appear after the hermits go home or sometime during their stay. This is due to the rift maybe being a bit weird and wonderful.

Speaking of the rift, it would be so very angsty if Gem disappeared from hermitcraft because she got stuck dealing with the egg-apocalypse. The hermtis wondering where their friend went because she didn’t leave any information behind. Maybe she returns the same. Maybe she returns a bit strange. Who knows…

Also what if the hermits could return to empires, only to see a desolate landscape full of red vines, a red sky and tense, uneasiness in the air. Not one in sight. For miles and miles they travel, more vines more of the colour red. The bridge is over taken by the egg and is near crumbling down. They finally see some familiar faces but my lord, they’re not them. They’ve changed. Nothing about them screams safe. Empire members are a shell of themselves with red eyes and ready to serve.

Depending how much of a connection each member has with the previous season, wouldn’t some feel familiar with the growing red vines and blood red sheep? Imagine how sausage would feel about the sheep and Joey feel about this strange memory.

Anyway, that’s all I got so enjoy.

[the-arson-author-gamer]

Alright, after that hellfire of a ending, I present you some semi-serious, semi-crack propaganda:

COME WATCH EMPIRES SMP S2, WE HAVE THE FOLLOWING:

*Note that watching hours upon hours of S1 episodes are not needed, though they will occasionally reference or build plot lines off of S1 things, if you have any questions, one of us will be kind enough to explain!*

13 empires and pov's to choose from! All with an interesting storylines, beautiful buildings, and in general a different style/vibe! Presenting:

Mythical Sausage, who I would consider to be the most lore-heavy out of the bunch, while you don't need to watch S1 to watch his pov, it is very based off of S1, as said in the note above, any questions, one of us will answer! Sausage's empire, Sanctuary, is inspired from Encanto (yes he talks to animals), he has some very fun lore and an interdimensional dog (Bubbles) and some very dirty jokes!

Joel, also known as Smallishbeans, who decided that last season's giant palace was not enough and decided to build two (2) empires, his videos are shorter, so catching up is easy, any 'lore' that he does is clearly fakely acted (last season he denied the demon, yes there is a demon), but it is very hilarious and he is the 2nd contender for dirtiest jokes in empires (Sausage is 1st). He also has a child with Sausage, Hermes, where they had some form of a one night stand and a child appeared.

Lizzie, like Joel's videos, Lizzie's are shorter videos, and she finds glorious ways to commit animal-based atrocities to villagers and several scams (This is Lizzie, cmon), within the city/town of Animalia, Lizzie's videos are always fun to watch!

Fwhip, the scrunkly little goblin man that lives in a cave and has great stonks. Not as lore heavy, but there are various hints and various worldbuilding things you can pick apart within the empire of Gobland. Fwhip is an insane builder and always has something interesting going on. His videos are longer, but he is also juggling a hardcore world where he does lots of mega-projects. Check those out as well!

Scott, I almost want to say he's the true #1 of dirty jokes, but Sausage's are more prominent. Either way, Scott as probably everybody knows of, is the ruler of the Empire of Chromia, where he sells various dyes. I will admit, I haven't watched Scott's pov, so most of the stuff I am gathering are from my dash and other things from people's videos. Though Scott is always a good watch!

The Great Witch Shelby, or Shubble, is a witch with questionable morals and a secret great power, don't worry about the mysterious fog... don't worry about it! As I know of, Shubble does not have as many episodes out, but she has been fairly busy last I have heard! Shubble, as always is fun to watch!

Joey Graceffa, the pirate with a grudge against Skeletons and a need to steal from others. His gunpowder farm is better than Jimmy's, yes. I haven't been watching his POV as well, since I am busy person myself, but Joey is a very fun POV to watch and the only non-pg person on the server, though the definitions of 'pg' in minecraft smps is iffy, for here being pg is not swearing, anything else like dirty jokes are applicable and subject to change depending on the creator.

Solidaritygaming, also known as Jimmy! Or even better, The Sheriff. His export is supposed to be gunpowder, but his gunpowder farm sucks, don't worry, Jimmy loves being the butt of the joke and even requests it from his friends! The Sheriff is slightly corrupt in his 'ruling' over the server, which will be a fun plotline to see unravel later! His videos are a bit on the shorter side, and in the mid-range lore wise!

KatherineElizabethGaming, or just Katherine, is a princess with a dark secret, by night she slays various monsters with a giant axe and a cool outfit (yes there is a magical girl transformation!). As I know off, there is a very interesting plotline with Katherine that I don't know much about since I'm not watching her POV, but I think it's corruption based!

Geminitay, or just Gem, another princess (but she's just larping shhh), with a sun themed empire and lore! Gem's empire I would consider to be the most medieval-fantasy based with her build style and palette. Gem does not have as many episodes as the others because she is also in Hermitcraft! Which I will get to in a moment!

Falsesymmetry, or just False, the ruler of Cogsmead, who got iskaid into Empires and is wary of everybody except for the dead bodies who clothes she robs. False is also part of Hermitcraft and has less episodes, but I believe her episodes are around 20 minutes or so and are fairly lore-heavy for empires.

Oli. Yes. Oli. He has 2 videos out now, but my god are they worth it! Oli has to be one of the most funny and entertaining people I have ever watched. Oli's POV is always worth the watch and wait! He was also iskaid into empires but doesn't have amnesia and is totally aware of the people around him who all think he's a bard.

Pixlriffs, while not playing a character exactly, is bringing an empire back from the ground as the archeologist and preserver of the server. He keeps his supplies inside a tomb, and thought the pain of being murdered was actually the loss of deepslate emerald ore. Pixlriffs is also a part of the Hermitcraft recap!

ANSWERING SOME QUESTIONS FOR THE SAKE OF IT

SO. Hermitcraft!

Why are there a bunch of Hermitcraft members in Empires?

Fwhip and Grian have been planning a crossover event for several months now where in Hermitcraft, Grian has a rift underneath his base and it's counterpart in Empires S2. When Grian's rift went from a foggy glass effect to an actual portal he sent notes through which showed up in empires and a game of telephone ensued. To the point that Grian and a bunch of other Hermitcraft members went through the rift and showed up in Empires SMP.

As of now the rift has closed behind the hermits and something lore related will allow them to return to Hermitcraft.

Watching hermitcraft I find will not be necessary for watching any recent episodes, though references will be made throughout!

You said 'episodes' not 'streams'?

Yep! Empires is all on Youtube, allowing you to easily go back and watch any episode when you please. Any streams on empires are just people chilling, gathering resources, ect.

Who do I watch?

Up to you! With 13 members, you can pick and chose who you want to watch and who you vibe with! I watch Pixlriffs, Mythical Sausage, Joel, Fwhip, Oli, and Gem!

Discourse?

Not that I know of, and if you want to have petty arguements on the internet over characters, please tag correctly so people can filter out if need be.

Does Empires have any PVP?

Ehhh, not necessarily, there are arena's and PVP fights, but no main PVP based creators, everybody in Empires I would consider to be builders or redstoners, rather than PVPers. Though Joel I would consider to be the strongest PVP wise!

Empires is PG?

Yeah, it is, Joey isn't though and I think that the dirty jokes make up for it!

---

Wow, I haven't made a post this big in a while, if you have any other questions, feel free to send me an ask or ask your question on the comments or reblogs! I am always happy to help!

SO COME WATCH EMPIRES TODAY!! TRUST ME IT'S WORTH IT!

[sunstar121]

[ash-wings]

loving the direction shubble’s lore is going!

corruption arcs are my fav (even if they’re not normally this literal lmao)

[callmesausage]

shrub and joey gettin corrupted and if we’re all right on assumin sausage is still connected to xornoth (or even Exor? i might write sommat bout why) then:

Joey, Shrub, Xornoth and Sausage but it’s that “let us adore you” song where its corrupted Joey, Shrub and Xornoth tryna get Sausage on their side again
