To believe in Oli’s acknowledgement of David being Pix’s son has an implication you must confront; 

Pix either gave or had a second son with Xisuma.

Empires S2 VS Decked Out 2

No Gem or False since they're in Hermitcraft too, sorry!

Oli's streams my beloved

"I didn't agree to this! Pearl, I got dragged into a relationship because Sausage put it in his video and now all the art I get is me hugging a rabbit. What would you do in this situation, Pearl?"

"You can't control the Sausage lore mate"

*cue Pixl running in and using his lore master powers to make things canon and annoy Oli*

[darubyprincx]

honestly, that video gave me the vibe of something oli slapped together to let both the audience and his fellow server members know what was going on.

he shows it to pix on his phone and puts it back in his pocket

oli: and that's the story of how i birthed a baby ender dragon! :D

pix:

pix: Oli, and I do not say this lightly,

pix: What the fuck?

[cpistiina]

i love them

I don't usually advertise my fics on Tumblr (mostly I just don't think about it unless I'm doing a Challenge), but... I felt like this fic needed it. I've spent months on it in an attempt to convey my vision, my interpretation of canon events - and get some catharsis about the bits I didn't like. I finished it today. I want to share it with anyone who will listen.

Summary:

There has been an invasion.

They don't understand the emperors' ways, nor the allyships that have been so precariously created. Their own way of building, trading, and interacting with each other is strange and different. At first, the empires hesitantly welcome the visitors in - the emperors aren't barbarians. But as the Rifties get more comfortable with the world, will their technology and power really help the empires grow? Or will the Rift threaten to tear the empires apart?

It's about colonialism. It's about people trying to extend their hospitality to visitors, only most of those visitors turn out to be invaders. It's about the emperors watching the changes and industrialization of their land and looking at the people who caused it and thinking "hey - we could do something about that". And then they do. It's around 28k words, my second-longest fic ever. It's important. to me.

I think empiresblr has been sleeping on some ships and i think things should be done abt it

Sweet Exchanges - 2k words

A storm is coming, and it brings a certain archeologist to Oli’s doorstep. Not that he's complaining.

A03 Link

The sun was unusually tame that day, Oli found. It wasn’t radiating as much heat as it normally did, particularly because it was starting to be covered by a handful of light gray clouds. Oli really, really hoped there wouldn’t be a storm. Storms weren’t particularly great when you lived on a beach, especially bad ones. So if the gods wanted to curse him today, he hoped it would be with a calm one. He was still cross about having to fix and remake all of his outdoor decorations after the last bad one.

He spent a few hours like that, working himself into a tizzy over a storm that might not even happen. And if you asked him, the storm came before the rain that day, and it came in the form of a very familiar man jumpscaring him and bloody laughing about it.

Pixlriffs himself had showed up, right when Oli had worried himself so much that he was now beginning to move anything that would fit inside his main tent. The archaeologist had appeared behind him out of nowhere, which was something the man had a talent for. The bard had jumped maybe a foot in the air, screaming about god knows what, when Pix leaned down and whispered “boo” in his ear while his mind was elsewhere.

“PIXL!” He shrieked, growing a little more indignant at the laughter flooding the air. “What was the bloody point of that!?” The blonde yelled further, throwing his arms up into the air.

It took that dastardly man a whole two minutes to respond; he was laughing so hard, damn him. “Sorry,” Pix wiped the beginning of tears from his eyes. “You’re just really easy to scare.”

“That doesn’t mean you get to do it!” Oli huffed, playing up his earlier indignation for the dramatics. He crossed his arms over his chest for extra flare, sleeves that were slightly too puffy being pressed down against the front of his bard’s shirt.

“Sorry again,” The brunette repeated, and Oli gave a rather drawn out shrug and eye roll as a response.

“Well,” He sighed, noticing how the corners of Pix’s lips quirked upwards slightly. “You just sound so genuine, so i guess it’s fine,” Oli smiled--almost smirked--as he got in the other’s personal space, having to strain upwards slightly. Whoever granted Pixl almost a whole half foot of height on him should be fired, but that was just a personal opinion.

“I’m glad my apology is accepted,” Pix returned his little smirk, clasping his hands together behind his back. Daro brown eyes filtered to the beach behind him, and the archaeologists gaze had a familiar look of muddled curiosity to it once more. “What were you doing over there, exactly?” He asked, taking a good few moments to scan over the scene behind them.

“Oh, you mean the thing you so rudely interrupted?” That earned a small, yet amused eye roll from Pix. “Just a little worried about a storm,” The bard began to explain, making a general hand gesture at the gray clouds forming above him. “I was trying to move some stuff inside, and I was almost done before a certain man showed up!”

“Want any help?” Pix asked, once again looking at the bard's stuff with a mild curiosity.

“Oh, you’re too kind Pixlriffs!” Oli exclaimed, throwing him part of the fences that had once kept his dragon egg over the fire. He didn’t really need to keep anything roasting anymore, but kept it around for aesthetic reasons mostly. Pix caught it easily, and apparently it wasn’t heavy enough for him because he picked up the other end before the bard could. Fine, he wants a strength test? Then he’ll get a strength test! Oli thought, adding his heaviest instrument to the load as well.

He instructed Pixl which chest they were to be stored in for the time being, before leaning back against his tent’s side to watch. The brunette lifted his things with ease though, gently putting them on the ground like they were exhibants at his museum. Oli had never really noticed how strong Pix was, but he supposed it made sense. The man was restoring a whole empire and had probably done his fair share of heavy lifting in the process.

Eyes traced over the archaeologist's muscles as he put the last item away, eventually moving downwards to his chest area. The front of the dark blue shirt was always unbuttoned, but just enough to reveal a small amount of its wearer’s chest. Oli had thought it was kinda slutty before, and very alluring. His eyes wandered to that spot more often that he’d like to admit, Pix usually making no comment if he noticed.

But today the archaeologist glanced back at him and smirked, an expression Oli did not like one bit. “See something you like?” Pixl asked, his voice becoming more deep and smooth than it usually was. He smirked at the flush that was spreading across pale cheeks at his words.

“Maybe..” The bard muttered, turning his back on the other to pop his head outside. More storm clouds had formed, ones that were darker than their predecessors. Oli frowned at this, glad he’d moved his stuff inside early.

“You were right,” A voice was suddenly right beside him, the sound of Pix’s quiet breaths in his ear. He hadn’t even heard him move. “A storm is coming.”

Oli glanced over his shoulder, failing to hide how startled he now was. Pix was bold today, wasn’t he? The brunette was standing behind him, chest pressed against the upper part of his back a little. If the archaeologist were to move his head slightly it would be resting on his shoulder, which Oli found when he turned his head to meet the man’s teasing gaze. Hands hesitated above his waist, as if Pix was unsure about resting them there.

“You’re quite close there, Mr. Riffs.” The blonde said quietly, almost bumping his nose with Pix’s. Hands finally went to rest on his sides, their soft touch burning. (Burning in the way that made Oli want more.) This was far too close to be anything platonic, but Oli didn’t mind. He was just leaning into the slutty bard persona, nothing more, nothing less. There certainly weren't any real feelings at stake here.

“And you’re not complaining about it,” Pixl watched as Oli moved his head away a little. He smirked as the tent’s entrance was zipped. It wasn’t closed fully, just enough to keep the coming rain out. Certainly wasn’t closed for privacy reasons either, though it would be embarrassing to be caught like this. For both of them, not just the bard, though Pixl dealt with his shame more quietly than the blonde did.

The next thing he knew Oli was pressing him into the floor, his bottom landing a little roughly against the tents flooring. The archaeologist was now being straddled near the back wall of Oli’s home, plush thighs pressing nicely against his own. The bard’s hands flailed uselessly for a moment, before pinning his wrists down against his side.

"Maybe I like being close to you, ever consider that?" Oli's voice is quieter than it had been a moment ago as he leaned forward. A few of his bangs began to fall, covering his half lidded eyes slightly. Pix knows he shouldn't do this, really knows that whatever is going through his head is a bad idea, but nevertheless he goes against his better judgment for the third time that day, suspecting he'll do the same again later. He gently brushes the hair out of Oli's face, and tucks it behind an ear. It would be a crime to have such pretty eyes hidden, after all.

Pix smiles softly at the reaction he gets, enjoying the faint redness that returns to Oli's cheeks. The bard really is quite a pretty man, if you take the time to admire him that is.

"You are such a tease," The blonde huffs, blush spreading to his neck as Pix tucks his hair away again. He unpins the brunette's wrists, going to wrap his arms around the other's neck instead. For now Pixl keeps his arms where they are, awkwardly against his side and hands fiddling on the floor beneath them.

"I know," Pix smiles again, leaning forward on nothing but an impulsive thought. And to his absolute delight, he is meet in the middle by warmer lips than his own.

Oli sighs into the kiss, smooth lips capturing his own slowly, a nice contrast to his own lips; which were surely a little chapped by now. He leaned into the action a little too quickly though, and was almost surprised at the softness of it all. Kissing Pix was nice, just a little unexpected is all.

Pix wasn’t a bad kisser, not in any form. This was just much more…gentle than previous kisses Oli had experienced. The bard had experienced a fair share of kisses, and all had ended up being more on the fiery side, so much so Oli didn’t think he’d ever been kissed calmly in his life. The archaeologist might have his flirtatious moments sometimes, but he’d never quite fit the criteria of passionate, so the more gentle approach didn’t come as a big surprise. Oli didn’t mind it though, he didn’t mind the softness at all, it was something he could be glad to get used to. He let Pixl gently cup the side of his face, cradling it as if it was the most precious thing in the world and thumbing his cheek. And oh, he could definitely get used to being held like this.

A half gloved hand came to rest on the bard’s waist, clutching it just as gently as the other hand was holding his face. Oli smiled softly against the others lips, letting a tongue quietly slip into his mouth and explore it for a little while. Hands tangled into soft brown hair, pulling Pix closer to their owner until the former’s back was bumping against a tent wall. As far as first kisses went, this was probably the best one Oli had ever had. And if they didn’t need to breathe he was sure he would’ve had it for a few minutes more.

They pulled apart slowly at first, neither quite registering the need for air. More kisses were exchanged, some led by Oli, some not. They were small ones, not as long as the first one they shared, but long enough to steal a few puffs of breath from both of them. Small pecks were pressed to faces in between, to Oli’s cheeks and freckles, to Pix’s nose and right under where his glasses rested. The bard was quite enjoying the other’s tongue in his mouth, and a very big part of him wanted to get used to that as well.

The kisses that were eventually pressed to his neck weren’t pressed hard enough to even bruise, and the motion didn’t have a hungry air to it either. They were loving, the kisses were. They were akin to the casual pecks someone placed upon their partner's skin during lazy mornings. Everything about it was warm and gentle and kind, just like Pixl himself.

The two stopped kissing eventually; the archaeologist laughing at the small, playful and ultimately meaningless pout Oli shot him. The bard stopped pouting when a few more kisses were pressed into his hair, a giggle running through the man behind him. It was a nice laugh, Pix’s laugh, he wanted to hear it more. He didn’t have to wait long for that though, as another escaped Pix when Oli shifted into his lap like a cat would, practically begging for cuddles.

“You comfortable?” Pix asked, not trying to hide the fondness in his voice. Oh, he was very gone for this man.

“Very,” Oli muttered sleepily, burying his slightly blushing face into the blue fabric of Pixl’s shirt. Pix laughed again, and it was then that the bard registered that it had begun to rain at some point after they entered the tent. It seems that storm had come after all, just thankfully not as bad as the Oli’d been fearing. Well then, it’s a good thing he’d made this place waterproof, wasn’t it?

Pix’s arms tightened around the smaller person in his arms, listening to Oli’s breathing even out, and to the rain. He buried his own head against the other, nuzzling at the bard’s shoulder affectionately. The archaeologist didn’t do things like this very often, so he was treasuring every second of this, unsure when he’d experience anything close to it again. He wanted more, he wanted it to happen soon. And sitting there like this, against his better judgment, Pix began to hope for it. It was becoming a yearning, the longer he dwelled on it, so he didn’t dwell.

Instead the archaeologist let his breathing even out, falling asleep with a bard who was far too cute for his own good clutched lovingly in his arms. He wasn’t sure if they’d speak of this come morning, or if it’d be another thing he’d have to preserve in his memory for the rest of time. But that was a problem for morning Pix.

And morning Pix got what he was yearning for. More sleepy cuddles, more sleepy kisses (these ones were more sloppy though, kisses where you missed half the other person's mouth,) and a a quiet conformation that there would be even more in the future. For however long this world would last, as Oli had somewhat ominous phrased it.

For however long this world shall last, you are love.

empires smp without context polls: answer key

part 1 [link]

local king is annoyed that a demon has the same accent as him - TRUE

in season 1, scott smajor is offended by the fact that the demon terrorizing half the server, xornoth, has a scottish accent like him. the two are, in fact, voiced by the same content creator and later revealed to be siblings. (x)

local historian uses wikipedia dialect to roast a badly disorganized bard - TRUE

in season 2, pixlriffs yoinks oli theorionsound's house and rebuilds it in his museum (long story, maybe i should have put that in the poll instead). in the process of making a perfect recreation, down to how the chests are organized, he comments at length on how he and the rest of academia may never understand why oli would put [insert item here] in a chest with [insert other item here]. (x)

two rulers do a prisoner exchange but tell same local assassin to kill the other - TRUE

in season 1, joey graceffa kidnaps lizzie ldshadowlady's axolotl knight sir strawberry; when she can't find the axolotl, she kidnaps joey's "tiger blood prince" villager instead. after arranging a prisoner exchange, lizzie and joey independently hire mythical j. sausage, fellow ruler and head of the assassins' guild, to kill the other ruler. sausage follows through by killing both of them. there is a whole song about this. (x)

thunder is when local sky god "claps his cheeks" - TRUE

season 2. the local sky god in question is joel smallishbeans. idk how to explain any further than that. that is all the context you need.

local princess has a magical girl transformation at night - TRUE

in season 2, katherine is a princess who also works as a monster slayer under cover of night. whenever she changes into her monster slayer outfit, she undergoes a magical girl transformation; when some of the hermits join her in her monster slaying one night during the crossover event, they get magical girl transformations too. (x)

local gay claims a woman is sexier than the (male) god living next door - (KIND OF) TRUE

in season 2, at the festival of the rift. i will admit it is very indirect and thus subjective to interpretation, but this conversation literally happened, and i quote:

lizzie: i heard there's some discount toys from the "sexy man". scott: wait, where's the "sexy man"? lizzie: *looks at joel, who is standing next to geminitay* right there. scott: gem?

and to whoever said this is true because joey's character is attracted to katherine's character, i would like to remind you that (1) pirate joe is canonically bi and not exactly gay, and (2) he does not live next door to a god.

there is a court case to determine if a character is a toy - (KIND OF) FALSE

in season 2, jimmy solidarity sues joel smallishbeans for copyright infringement (of all things), unauthorized use of one's image and defamation of character. he wins the case, but then pixlriffs (acting as judge) raises a second court case of "is solidaritygaming a toy?". jimmy immediately runs for it, so the court case technically never actually happened. (x)

someone thinks floating giant eyeball is actually a giant boob, literal big tit - TRUE

in season 1, while lizzie is visiting jimmy, they find a giant eyeball made from xornoth-corruption spying on the cod empire. lizzie is convinced that the giant eyeball is actually a demon boob, because according to her, she probably knows her anatomy well enough to tell. (x)

half the men have a dubious(?) crush on one (1) local fish - TRUE

the local fish in question is jimmy solidarity in season 1.

i have no idea what fwhip has going on with him (i have not watched fwhip's pov) but considering there is quite a bit of shipping in the fandom, i am assuming there is some basis in canon for the ship other than the classic rivals-to-lovers trope. see the replies and reblogs on this post i made for more details.

sausage is a canonical fishkisser, claims it is platonic, and shouts for jimmy to not tell scott. (x) (x)

as for scott, the episode "so i took him on a date…" should tell you everything you need to know - in this case, i would say it's straight-up canon, but to claim anything involving scott smajor is straight makes me want to backflip into an active volcano. also… just watch this livestream clip.

part 2 [link]

someone gets 200 anvils dropped on them and is forced to wear a big jester hat for it - TRUE

during the season 2 hermitcraft crossover, the hermits and empires rulers play a game of multiverse tag where a player has to kill someone from the other server using a randomly generated method. the player who is "it" has to wear a big jester hat to designate this. impulsesv drops 200 anvils on scott smajor using a big contraption on the nether roof. it is phenomenal.

local guy wears his own sibling as jewelry - TRUE

in season 1, after trapping xornoth in a crystal, scott smajor spends a portion of the season wearing that crystal on a necklace. (x)

a creator gets accused of appropriating their own culture - TRUE

in season 2, sausage is the leader of sanctuary, which has a latin american theme and is english-spanish bilingual. some idiot in the youtube comments section says it is cultural appropriation for him to speak spanish and use latin music in his series. sausage the content creator is cuban and clowns on this idiot in a livestream. this isn't necessarily plot relevant but i must inform you this has, unfortunately, actually happened.

local assassin is also a therapist and advertises this after committing 2 murders - TRUE

the assassin in question is mythical j. sausage in season 1; he advertises how he also works as a therapist after killing both lizzie and joey during their prisoner exchange which i mentioned in poll 1 (x).

local man kisses a llama because a witch thought it would be funny - TRUE

in season 2, scott considers turning his tavern-keeper llama owen into a human and asks local witch shelby for help. shelby makes a potion but it does not work instantly, so shelby tells scott to try the "frog prince" method (and he does), but admits she did so because she thought it would be funny and not because she thought it would work. seriously, if i hear one more comment about the taste of llama spit, i think i will just deactivate my internet access. (x)

one prophecy literally just says "a short king will rise." - TRUE

in season 1, lizzie flips through a book of prophecies and one of the prophecies listed in it actually says this, quoted verbatim. (x)

local goddess is called "st. bitch" - TRUE

this one, i admit, has some misleading wording. pearlescentmoon is a goddess in empires season 2 and in spanish, she is called santa perla. during the hermitcraft crossover, bdubs mispronounces this as santa perra, in which perra means "female dog". you do the math from there. (x)

local man crashes his own funeral during the end of the world - FALSE

this is technically of the "canon but a bit to the left" variety. in the season 1 finale, jimmy solidarity announces that fwhip died in an explosion (the catalyst to the end of the world, long story, there is a prophecy and everything) during a gathering at spawn. everyone is shocked but then fwhip shows up at spawn at that moment. so no one crashes any funerals in season 1. nor season 2, for that matter. (x)

one creator actively makes local fan's job harder by flirting with everyone - TRUE

the creator in question is mythical j. sausage. the fan in question is @/sgorbyx and their job in question is The Chart™️. and it is legendary. see here for jimmy solidarity reacting to The Chart with evidence that sausage is a Menace.

annotation: i'm sorry i can't do timestamps for all the links; on the day i post this, i just spent the past day packing and i am going overseas tomorrow, so i'm really on a time crunch rn. anyways watch empires smp
