SBK Superhero AU: Mushroom

Last but certainly not least, it's time for the Mushroom kingdom builds! The masterpost can be found here, now with all 20 (!) builds. I am now out of excuses not to keep writing Capes and Masks, oops.

First up, we have the mushroom queen and shroombucks ceo herself, Artemis8bit! Colors come from her eyes and her little mushroom hat. I won't lie to you; I think I really struck a gold mine with this one. I knew that I wanted to play into the mushroom aspect more here, but I wasn't sure exactly how - until I thought to check all the possible effects for suspicious stew, and then it all clicked into place.

Artemis's powers are centered around two complementary arrays: Suspicious Brew is comprised of beneficial effects that she can use to enhance herself or others around her, while Suspicious Spores represents a variety of offensive options to use on her foes. All of her powers have the subtle modifier, which means that the effects are difficult to notice without specialized senses for detecting fungi/mushrooms.

Suspicious brew's variety of effects allow for a lot of support capability, with the caveat that as an array she can only ever have one of them active. This means you can't stack them; rather, you have to choose between the fire resistance, regeneration, movement, or darkvision effects at any given time. Affects others is the other key here; Artemis thrives in a support role, and giving another hero with more specialized skills one of these powers could be a huge boon.

Suspicious spores' more offensive options are all perception effects targeting fortitude. The subtle modifier here means that the target will notice that they're being affected, but have no way to know where it's originating from, which pairs well with the perception range that allows Artemis to target anyone she can accurately perceive. This also serves her support role; she can effectively keep a buff up on an ally while slowly weakening an opponent at the same time, all while the foes are unable to locate the source of the issue.

Practically a mushroom and disarming spores take up her utility and defensive options, keeping opponents away from her and allowing her to spy anywhere where her fungal network has been, within a reasonable distance. She's also immortal, for a fun little "can't kill me in a way that matters" mushroom trait.

Her advantages and skills round out the picture, giving her some skills for her civilian identity as a barista at shroombucks and a lot of ways to find the right information or the right person, especially with a little help from her fungal network.

Elffe's colors come from his crown. And what better abilities to give the self-proclaimed king of hell than those of an actual demon prince?

Each of Elffe's powers is based around a particular nether mob. The Nether Lord array gives him blaze and ghast fireballs (I would have made the ghast power ranged if I had the budget; right now it just emanates in a burst around him. Unfortunately, making it ranged would have either made it too expensive or forced me to weaken the damage and I wanted it to be appropriately destructive). Brute enhances his strength and durability, to represent piglins, and Strider gives him some speed and the ability to walk on lava (water walk works on any liquid, despite its name). Nether immunity is a suite of general defensive immunities, based partially on the wither's immunities to both burning and freezing.

His advantages and skills complement this, with some combat flexibility to allow him to hit harder and avoid hits, as well as some skills to represent the fierce reputation and appearance befitting his role. His offensive and defensive skills are relatively balanced as well, especially for physical combat. This is another character that I would recommend for a starting player; the build has some good flexibility, but is really built around being very good in combat. When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail, but this build has a few different hammers.

Species headcanons for rmau?? I love hearing everyone’s different interpretations and headcanons!

Yee!!! I'm so excited people are interested!!!

I've had these percolating for a while now - like, 2 years, actually!!! I keep adding onto and adjusting specifics of the different species, or adding new ones, but I'll list the my shortlist of Hermits/Lifers and their species here, and then I'll start posting the details for species individually, before making a masterpost with links to all of them and this!!!

But yeah, here's my list, under the cut!!!

(Edit: I just realized I forgot to mention what the names in parentheses are - that's in reference to another aspect of the AU, called Code Bonding - which will get its own post after the species. The names are their Code Bonded partner! Also, if someone has a question mark next to their species, it means I haven't solidified my headcanon for them yet, and I'm welcome to suggestions! I'll edit this as I solidify or add ideas!)

Cub - Vex Hybrid - created via Vex Deal (ConVex)

I have a few more (including ones for other DSMP members from back when I was really into it) but I'm just leaving this list to these, and my examples for species will be limited to these guys too.

If people have ideas/suggestions for the other Empires members I haven't listed here, feel free to let me know, because I haven't watched as much of those guys and I'd be happy to include them!!!

There's always more to come! I hope you have enjoyed my stories :)

[glowstone23b]

Here is a link to my doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jOxddbY-3707BPgOIqCHGJ6sFMs71QDbokhQsJt1gyw/edit

It’s like. My masterpost of everything ever— a copy so it’s editable! Go crazy as you please. A good chunk of it is properly formatted, but most of it is bullet points (though it’s over 10k words as of now, so it’s a bit hefty). If you wanna give it a look, have fun, but if you want tl;dr’s on anything, lemme know haha

KINTSUGI was the word I was looking for!! It escaped me at the time. I love that stuff!!! What a sweet bond between the two of them! And. What hotkeys do you use? o_O

That zombification concept is super cool!! (Literally, haha). In my head, it’s probably able to infect others once you have it (so it’s spread through the air or bodily fluids or something), hence why most piglins run from zombified versions. I always thought it was a temperature thing, too, though— it’s just not fun being in the overworld when you’re accustomed to the nether’s temperatures and vice versa. Very neat!!

I ALSO want to revamp a bastion, just like. Restore it to what it would have looked like before they got all ruined, but it is an undertaking as you say. Definitely a lot of fun though! I have a couple of vague floorplans floating around my head for how stuff like housing would work, but again, it’s vague.

I believe I have a list of what piglins are afraid of in my doc (soul fire/campfires/zombified piglins or hoglins/etc.) but I’ll have to do some testing myself as well, cause it’s not all on the wiki. Brutes don’t budge when it comes to zombification! Kinda neat! I think I have a list of nether blocks too (or at least nether foods?) I don’t know, but if you want help do say so! It rules!!

Thank you for saying hey, this rocks!! I will be 100% enthusiastic about your designs, I gotchu!!!

!!!!! blushing furiouslyyyy thank youu i actually have quite more for them!!!

ive semi recently updated rhem, to have an alt palette to match my biome rules, and they look so handsome i cant even!! and!! theyve got a wither skeleton friend!!

and!!! yes i did build the bg! its a temple i made in one of my survival worlds, dedicated ro the nether and gold ^-^, it has a portal inside so its like the fungus grew out through the portal and started growing on the temple like ivy :3c

It’s fun seeing how people organize their hotbars, hehe. Very nice! I love the interior of that building 😩😩😩 all the gold!!!! So nice!!!! Lemme come over and add to that stockpile! I love when people do stuff like the nether is coming to the overworld through the portal and vice versa— I always build bits of netherrack and whatnot through my portals!

They ARE SO HANDSOME!!!!! Tell them that!!! I also love the wither skeleton’s like… gold etching to repair it! Peak design!!! And also SAME HEADCANON 🤝🤝 piglins running really hot and finding the overworld like insanely cold in comparison so they have to wear heavy clothing when they’re there. LOVE IT

I’ll have to find some mc builds of mine, I swear I need to do more nether builds now that I have a love for it. I just love terraforming to be honest, so anything that incorporates that, lol. YOUR!!!!! Art. May I hold them gently in my hands like a baby chick, that design is so good

I wish I had access to my computer rn cause I’d draw them but like. Give me time. I am your cheerleader here let’s be completely normal about piglins and the nether together

Ok ill bite whats dominion smp?

BOY AM I GLAD YOU ASKED

dominion smp, which some members call DSMP for what's probably seo reasons but i find intensely hilarious because it's technically not wrong to abbreviate it like that, is a small lightly modded server based around the origins mod! basically, each member has a different origin, and in much the same way empires members are loosely the ruler of their respective countries, you can sort of consider each dominion member to be kind of a paragon of their respective origin.

thing is, while dominion is defined in part by its relation to the origins mod, there is also a lot of plot stuff that happens that is only tangentially related to the fact that everyone is creatures -- you've got people beefing over stolen goods, everyone sort of vying for power in a vacuum while trying to not seem obvious about it, taxes of "give me all of your diamonds every two weeks i am no longer asking nicely", and also. whatever the hell is going on with shadowmech.

oh yeah also literally like 75% of these ccs have 2000+ day hardcore worlds so the builds are insane.

here's a masterpost on everyone's povs! it doesn't have their Vibes down rn but i can do that really briefly (EDIT LOL NO IT'S NOT BRIEF THIS IS GOING UNDER A CUT):

starting members:

jamiejoan/jammers, dragonborn: elected queen of the server during s1. has a corruption arc, as one does. not many s1 episodes, but (without spoiling anything) her pov for s2 is unique and worth checking out

grady, enderian: doesn't have many episodes and is mainly a streamer. his character is half wet cat and half "guy that makes that's what she said jokes", but somehow in a different direction from scar?

legundo, piglin: champion of the piglins, sent to the overworld by his people for. well for takeover purposes probably. this mostly involves doing capitalism and having trusting-distrustful dynamics with the besties. actually the main server admin but this never comes up incharacter.

fixxitt, inchling: starts off as a thief, escalates WILDLY until by episode 5 welsknight is telling him "you fucked up, buddy" and then he builds a gigantic house. has 2 musical numbers in the middle of episodes that will absolutely knock you out if you're not prepared. also has very good cinematics.

nukeri, elytrian: democracy lover and guy who really, really just wants everyone to get along. canonically descended from icarus; all my friends have emotions about him and i haven't watched him yet but he's a major blorbo-in-law. i'd make a joke about how he's the resident gay scot of the server since they couldn't get smajor, but he literally does have a voice cameo from scott in his s1 finale.

rnjoy, witch: loves doing mad science, committing tax fraud, and has a mushroom son in s2 now. not a lot of s1 episodes but she loves her ravager gertrude i know that much. currently being hunted by --

shadowmech, witherborn: hitman of the server who is only withered rn because he ate a really bad porkchop. no episodes currently, he's in the process of doing a supercut of all his s1 stuff. is also in the process of uh. being very possessed and possibly being the s2 arc baddie rn. it's. fiiiiine. he's just not speaking to anyone and also attacking them during blood moons! totally chill

sneve, blazeborn: like if keralis was oli orionsound but with less musical numbers. sneve is an experience that cannot be described. just. watch his episodes there's only like 3 of them it'll tell you everything and nothing you need to know

taneesha, goat: lover of domes and also psychological warfare. started an advancement race probably as an excuse to steal people's shit. not a lot of s1 episodes but has some plot stuff anyway since she kind of got invited to join jamie's. void cult. yeaaaahhhh.

started midway thru s1:

vikingpilot, phantom: SOMETHING IS SO VERY WRONG WITH HIM. sweet ghostboy who is also incredibly unhinged. canonically dead and was also intangible and invisible for the beginning half of s1 up until the dragon fight. does dark magic, or is at least planning to do dark magic. pluralcoded and you can fight me on this. honestly my top pick for "if you only get one pov"

started at the beginning of s2:

progamebot/josh, sporeling: one video so far! joy's mushroom son. helping her make potions out of a van in the desert atm, which is. actually a breaking bad reference, not a reference to that other dsmp. canonically like a week old at the most. doing pretty well considering this.

kiply, fairy: no episodes yet, but uh. i've been watching her other stuff on and off and something is seriously wrong with her in the best way possible. plays on i think at least 2 different lifesteal-type smps? she is unhinged. she is not a reliable narrator. i love her.

dalilred (wolf) and itsryan (iron golem) also REALLY recently joined so i haven't gotten a pin on their vibes yet. red seems like she has a little bit of a cottagecore aesthetic and ryan seems to be kind of closer to sneve on the shitposter end of the mcyter spectrum, but that's all i've got

Au "Masterpost"

SWH (Second's way home)

[ACTIVE] ask interaction AU where you, the reader try to help TSC return to their friends from this strange place they stumbled onto.

Legally not allowed to say much info cus u guys have to find it out uself >:)

EIC (Everything is "Chill" )

First/old au for AVA. Stems from my piglin fur comic. Discontinued probably

Jist of it is that TSC with their fully awaken powers can be able to rewrite code and basically reality and forces all the sticks to be friendly with eachother so they dont have to fight with one another.

This causes some strange behavior. From People like TDL, MT, Vio and espescially TSC themself.

Blue and green were the first to notice. When the others found out they need to dig in deep to figure out whats bothering their friend.

SS (StickSwap)

basically RoleSwap au of all the sticks. I havent talked much about it but i have alot planned. Probably might not present it comic style. Not sure how to bring it up really qwq

Basically: everyone role swaps. And keeps a good chunk of their personality (there are some changes made due to their current circumstances. IE: Dark is much more chill and less unhinged but still a bitch. Oh and the story/events CHANGES (there are similarities to original though!)

Swap list:

Mango <--> TSC

Vio/Purple<--> Green

TDL <--> Yellow

TCO <--> Blue

Victim <--> Red

Will i reveal more of the plot? Probably in due time

Contributions:

- Mumbo has a pet ravager miscellaneous ideas: the ravager is actually a bit small as far as ravagers go. Once Mumbo leaves to go to the hermits, he doesnt take the ravager with him, for fear the environment wouldn't be right for it. However, the ravager follows him and Iskall, startling both when it comes running up to Mumbo. The ravager does not like any of the hermits, however it doesn't attack them because it can understand that Mumbo cares about them. - anonymous

- related to scattered au and "what if this happened to old hermits too" -- python's stuck in a death loop in a bastion (his spawn is right next to a piglin brute). he has no clue what's going on but by god, does he blame zloy - Anonymous

- Consider: Etho's mask protecting him from the flowers that gave Hypno so much trouble. - @/rayveewrites

- (Scattered AU) After Etho dies accidentally at the spawn haven, his spawn takes him to Xisuma. Xisuma is clinging to life when he gets there, and Etho only has time to grab his admin's arms and promise he'll be found before Xisuma passes away. Etho and Xisuma get a few hours together to work on getting Xisuma to the surface before Etho starves to death, and he's transported somewhere else. After that Etho makes it his mission to cycle through spawns as quickly as possible to help Xisuma and anyone else who is trapped in their spawn graveyard, no matter how much his legs start to fail him from the damage starting to linger from building into the sky and leaping off to respawn over and over. - @/petrichormeraki

- Some honorable mentions from my written summary for mumbo in the au: the illigers being terrified as he keeps coming back no matter how many times they kill him; he gets adopted by evoker; he fails at evoker magic, like so bad he cant even dye a sheep; the evoker being so done with mumbo that they beg the vex to give him magic; mumbo summoning scar when the vex get annoyed at how often he summons them, mumbo eventually summoning bdubs after scar's contract to mumbo runs out.... and so much more - @/therainofsweetmelody

- Moobloom!Hypno attracts bees - @/itsabork

- Not too long into his messenger journey, etho remembers what had happened to impulse by the time he, zed and tango had found him, which inspires him to try and die in a different way each time he sets off to find another hermit, partly to avoid becoming resiliant to certain death methods and partly for the challenge - Anonymous

- Because Doc hasn't died his death messages haven't been showing up in the chat. The other hermits don't know if he's even in the same world as them. - Anonymous

- (Scattered AU) More on the Mumbo accidentally summoning Scar thing; the summoning has "opened" the chat for them, but only between Mumbo and Scar. All evokers can call on their Vex, after all, so why not an evoker in more-or-less training? - @/petrichormeraki

- (alternate headcanon) There's so much discussion in the server, I wouldn't know where to start restating. However, I wanna mention one thing: scar spawning in xisuma's first spawn, deep in a geode down under ground. Being trapped in an endless death loop due to the warden lurking just outside the geode, forcing scar into the same loop xisuma had been trapped in so long ago. Not only does he have to deal with the separation from bdubs once they got out of the end, now he seemingly cant escape the warden's clutches.... - @/therainofsweetmelody

- Admins log who knows how long: I've finally managed to get my helmet some repairs with this I could get some plugins to start working hopefully. Considering the situation going on, I better not have derped to hard on this, not now. - Anonymous (singleplayer sleep now works)

- (Scattered AU) Because the code is glitchy for mob hermita, Jevin would spilt when injured too much. So while X and Jevin are trying to get to the surface, they encounter a dungeon or a mineshaft and Jevin gets fatally injured. X starts freaking out cause he doesent want to be alone again and he cant bear to watch Jevin die infront of him and risk getting lost and seperated and Jevin just splits, theres two Jevins now and X doesent know what to think of it.While there are two Jevins, their consienceness is split between the two and his motor skills are more sloppy and X notices and realises that Jevin loses more of himself the more he splits. So while he has a lower chance of losing Jevin to an unfortunate accident, Jevin slowly reverts to a slime the more be splits and the more be spends time as multiple entities. X worries that if Jevin splits for too long or too much, he might lose Jevin - @/itsabork

- The only portal to get out of Hels and into the overworld is an incredibly complex vault boarder line weapon built by Hels Doc and Hels Mumbo and the location of the portal is known only to a few and it changes every season. Now cue Helsknight and Wels sneaking all around Hels while trying to look for this basically impossible to find and get into way home. - anonymous

- It takes a while, but eventually those outside of hermitcraft start wondering why all the hermits collectively disappeared. Sure, they started a new world, and sure they’re usually more secluded, but it’s been months. Skizz wonders why he hasn’t heard from Impulse in a while. All the legates wonder where Python went. Everyone’s confused when none of the hermits turn up to the next MCC. Things get weirder when none of them sign up for the one after. -🟣

- Ok to add on to the daisy ravenger post, on his way to 0,0 Mumbo found spawn spawn, slo when he arrived everyone had him at sword point, expecting angry illiger noises they were surprised when they herd "GUYS IT'S ME!!" - Anonymous

(Note: Hermits at the haven currently include Joe, Beef, Hypno, Scar, Bdubs, TFC, Mumbo, and Iskall, in order of arrival. XB is en route, and Etho was there briefly before dying and respawning elsewhere.)

- Pix and Zloy would be the first to notice the hermits' absence. After all, they do a weekly show about them. Maybe they just decided to have a few weeks of downtime before moving to the next Season? Though surely it wouldn't take this long... - @/rayveewrites

- because im a legacy sucker, the legates would likely be the first to notice the hermits' disappearance. between zloy being on the server, skizz being part of zits and very close to impulse, pearl knowing a few hermits, plus python literally disappearing. what they'd do about it? no idea.to keep it more on the topic of hermits though, don't think about how devastated skizz would be to find out what impulse went through. don't think about it :) - anonymous

- Hello I have produced thoughts! I don’t have room for both so I’m sending 2 asks -when Iskall arrives at the mansion all of the illagers are wary; if one of mumbo’s friends are here then he must be leaving soon. Despite their initial feelings they’ve come to care about this idiot that wandered into their house, and they’re fully aware he has no survival instincts whatsoever, so when he does end up leaving they send a ravager to keep him (and his friends, they suppose) safe -@/haworthiaace

- so like... hear me out ok what if the reason the whole world is corrupting and weird and why a lot of people are like slowly turning into mobs is because maybe this is the way the game and the mobs are turning on the hermits for like making really inhumane farms or something like that and the mobs somehow messed with the code of the world to get revenge - anonymous

- Scattered AU!! Biffa spawned very concerned and on a beach. Where is he? How did he get here? Is he alone? Well one of his questions was answered quickly as he heard a constant buzzing sound come from his communicator, upon opening it he saw probably millions of death messages. He quickly realised this was probably supposed to be a new season of hermitcraft, but he didn't really have time to think about it, night was quickly approaching and he could already see drowned swimming towards him. - Anonymous

- How many times did X die to that Warden? Maybe he develops something to counteract the Warden’s sensors, or that his heartbeat slowed down to the point that his suit can barely pick it up (therefor making it harder for the Warden to track Xisuma down). -🦊

- Etho tried his best to fight the system and not get any new features from all his deaths. But, the game has its ways. Slowly, after every death he has, the less alive he comes back. (Undead!Etho, could be ghost, zombie variant, or skeleton variant) -@/harley-the-pancake

- Other hybrid characteristics Hypno gets of the moonbloom: His ears turn into golden cows ones, the horns grow in, he gets a tail, and little flowers grow though his hair and wrap around his horns. He can also grow flowers around him as long as he has dirt, but thankfully they dont do anything beyond smelling a lot stronger and smelling very nice (and maybe a bit of evoking certain reactions, but nothing beyond what normal flowers can do, ie lavender being calming, just a bit more intense) - anonymous

- Beetlejhost ended up in the world along with the hermits, spawning as if summoned: in the middle of a circle of beehives. His spawn is in the birch forest near the s8 spawn, and his presence spooks anyone who stumbles across him. He blends in concerningly well with the black and white of the forest. Beef feels like hes being watched whenever he goes in the birch forest to get supplies, but joe never notices a thing. He teases the hybrids about their changes, leading him to get swiftly decked- - @/therainofsweetmelody

- beetlejhost spawns in a circle of beehives in the birch forest near spawn. he thinks he's invis, in reality it's just his stripes making him blend into the birch trees. he can't leave the circle of bees, ah how wonderful it is to bee bee-tlejhost - @/justme123abz

- Beetlejhost doesn't mean to be mean, really, he just has really, really bad timing. This includes seeing a pollen-stained Hypno and, with his gravelly voice, immediately say "Woah! Someone had some fun in the sun! Tell me, did you spend a week rolling in dandilions or do you just like the color yellow?" This does not go over well - Anonymous

- Speaking of hybrids, Xisuma spawned in a Wardens den right? Well unlike the other hybrids, Xisuma has been changing too but its been slow. Every time he spawned back in that place, on the warped ground, he's changed. He doenst notice the dark starts to seem less dark, until noises get louder, until he's more sentive to it then he noticed, he gets stronger and breaking though the stone with his bare hands seems a bit easier, its not until he finds Jevin and he points out the glowing horns (1)peaking from his temples when his hair is pulled back hastily that he realizes that something has gone horribly wrong with him. Thankfully Jevin helps ground him before he can freak out, so he shelves it for later, once they're out of this cave. The warden that once was down by his spawn is no longer there btw, disappeared. The horns grow slowly, and soon glowing vein like markings appear as well. (2) - Anonymous

- Okay, Xisuma, we established he spawned in the deep dark, right? As time goes on he adapts to the dark. The skulk sensors grow on him. However as time goes on, they not only grow on him, but become a part of him. His footsteps quiet to near silence, and he can feel sounds. He certainly isn't how he was when he entered, at first glance he might even be mistaken for a warden. - Anonymous

- Tango is the only hermit other than Mumbo Daisy kind of likes. Tango thinks Daisy is absolutely adorable, and Daisy does like the positive attention(and the treats). - Anonymous

- When tango meets mumbo’s pet ravager he loses his mind, he tried so hard to get the decked out ravagers to like him and then mumbo just waltzes in riding on one of the things! He ends up hanging around her a lot and eventually forms some sort of relationship, although not as close as he would like (he also gets a little more sympathetic once he sees the effects the evokers had on mumbo, he figures the guy earned a pet ravager) - @/haworthiaace

(Hermits now at the spawn haven, in order of arrival: Joe, Beef, Hypno, Scar, Bdubs, TFC, Mumbo, Iskall, Tango, Impulse, Zedaph. XB is en route, Wels and Hels are traveling through Hels to get there, Ren, Doc, and Grian are attempting to get there but their success has been limited so far)

- Scattered!AU: Idea that Ex is the ONLY one that knows what is going on and how to fix it perhaps (maybe 'cause of having been banished to the void for so long)? That's why he's trying to find X. - Anonymous

- Admins log: day 1006: Me and Jevin finally see sunlight, and I've managed to get the clock function on my helmet working, finally. As we're on our way to the surface, I only hope that I can find someone or something to help guide us to where we need to go, but unfortunately I've lost all signal to chat, and I think we're next to a woodland mansion. I think I've derped up this time.

- Dear Xisuma, if you see this message then the log is working, also fixed the clock in your helmet it's been 50 days, not 1005. I was about to leave with Iskall when I noticed you and Jevin outside with a few, erm, "buddies" of mine you two where passed out and I managed to stop them from killing you with Daisy, my pet ravenger. I'll explain everything later and spawns in the village are working, finally. I recommend not moving much and work on the data packs for a bit before you do anything elseExplanation log to Xisuma part 2: Sorry if the last one got cut off abruptly, apparently there's a limit to these messages. Any way please take care of yourself. Sincerely, your pal Mumbo Jumbo

- Admins log, day 51: I first want to say thank you Mumbo for bringing me up to speed and explaining why and how me and Jevin are here, next I want to say that these logs may slow down for a bit, I'll be working on some maintenance for some packs. I still don't know why this is happening, I now hope this is a wicked nightmare and not our reality. Hang on I see something over there it looks like, wait let me ju- Voice logs are off for the moment.

- all one anon

- mooblooms spread the flowers that enraptured hypno. now that hypno is a moobloom hybrid, he can make people "hypnotizd"! he doesnt like to, but if the spawn ever gets attacked, the hermits are winning easily. - anonymous

- I like to think that at some point when there's a significant number of healthy hermits at 0,0 they start group searches to find the rest of hermits - anonymous

- After awhile, if they can't change the spawn of everyone, they begin securing all the spawn points to everyone, so if their bed is ever destroyed in the future, they won't end up in a death loop again. They secure the death loop spawn points first. - @/ciaravixen

- For undead Etho: I know that ghasts aren't technically undead mobs, but they're basically ghosts and that's what I feel etho is becoming?He's leaving his mortality behind bit by bit as he ceases to care about death and starts to use it as a tool instead.One day he'll respawn without a body at all - @/draconic-dreams

- This is just a thought. Sand cant be good for Iskall's mechanical parts, and its not like he has anything to fix it. Does he have to wait to find doc to be able to have hope of fixing himself? - anonymous

- Jellie had spawned in the village that cub and xb had come across, so when xb heads to 0,0 he takes her with him (she'd be safer in the overworld than in the end, after all). Its quite a long journey, and she makes for good company. -@/supertiny-tins

- Grian, Doc, and Ren fianlly start heading out to 0,0. Its a long journey, they decide in the end to leave their beds behind at the cabin in case any of them die so none of them end back at their orginal spawns. they would of just made new beds every time but the lack of suplies and resources near by has been low oddly enough. Doc manages to push aside most of his fears to help Grian and Ren, who are weaker, but he keeps his distance whenever he can. They make many hastily built huts as they go 1most nights are spent sleeping on hard ground, later straight up blocks of wool they find but not beds, just wool is better then ground, and it doesn't do the weaker hermits any favors but it works. There are many close calls, but they manage to avoid death, mostly due to Doc. Along the way they start to find signs of other players, coble in places it shouldn't, a rare torch, half mined trees, but no hermits. They still have a way to go, but they're getting closer to the others and safety. 2 - anonymous

- Etho once found himself spawning in the middle of an ocean with nothing and no one in sight except of course... A faint trail of lights dancing beneath the waves... Pulsing and glimmering, almost in a rhythm, something so fascinating, so... So... He was meant to be doing something...? It was... Important... At least... It might have been... It's all.. Kinda hazy... It couldn't have been more important than the lights, nothing was more important than the lights... They were so beautiful... He could watch them all day... Etho never noticed how he slipped beneath the waves, nor how the glow squid's glittering eyes had turned upon him, coiling a tentacle around his waist as it dragged its prey deep into the depths, his eyes hazed with green, he never even noticed his lungs burning for air.And he never remembered drowning after he respawned. - anonymous

- Impulse actually punches through the Nether roof so they can traverse more safely to coordinates given to them by Etho. They leave trails of blocks so they can make their way back, of course. - @/rayveewrites

(Evil X is now hiding out in a cave near spawn)

- Shattered!AU: I see everyone's Warden!Xisuma heacannons and I give you Axolotl!Xisuma. Think about it he's been hanging around with them and Jevin in the lush caves so maybe he's becoming more like them. (Frills, a more pink-ish tint to his skin, the ability to breathe underwater, etc.) :D (Is this because the thought of him having Warden traits is terrifying to me? Maybe. Is it because I think he deserves to become something not scary after his whole ordeal in the Deep Dark? Yes.) - anonymous

- Ever since getting out of the loop, Impulse has had a horrible inner conflict between his guardian side being instinctually drawn to the water, and his human brain being deeply terrified of ever being submerged again. - @/asexualbert

- Because I absolutely adore Daisy, more headcannons for Daisy.Daisy will occasionally just pick Mumbo up gently with her horns when she thinks she isn't getting enough attention. Daisy has a bell collar, because she kept scaring hermits by following Mumbo silently. Daisy is more okay with Iskall than most other hermits, though still doesn't really like him. - anonymous

- Though I'm a sucker for angst, what if Impulse was saved by a dolphin pod or something instead of transforming into a hybrid (or after transforming if Guardian!Impulse is cannon). :3 I can picture dolphins don't take kindly to the Guardian Mobs, might even find them as prey if anything since they're fish. (Guardian!Impulse wouldn't count since they're smart enough creatures to tell the difference.) - anonymous

- Prob a bit early for epilogue stuff but I like to think that, once all the glitches are fixed, that those that became hybrids and would prefer to be back to normal get changed back. - anonymous

(Shade note: Personally, I'm a sucker for stories where the characters adjust and learn to live with the unexpected changes to themselves rather than having them magically fixed, but this option is certainly still here for the people who find it appealing)

- For the scattered au, after the numerous frozen deaths Grian's gone through he starts hearing voices from the snow, even from within Ren's cabin. A snow golem forms after a wandering trader drops a pumpkin and watches from outside the cabin, deciding to guard the place after taking a liking to Grian and Ren. - anonymous

- When Etho became fully ghost, it hit hard. BeetleJhost saw this, and after a while decided to teach him how to show his form and speak. It takes a lot out of him, but it’s worth it. His friends deserve that closure. (Listen, I was expecting angst, I just wasn’t expecting that much angst.) - @/harley-the-pancake

- Mod Shade, I want you to know that angsting ghost!Etho that hard was entirely on you. I was picturing him clipping through blocks and dropping items at inconvenient points, not fading out of existence entirely. - @/draconic-dreams

- Possible explanation for everything going on in Scattered:Players were never supposed to be so powerful; in the natural state of Minecraft they're just another mob, albiet one that can craft and use any tool.But the Players weren't satisfied with that. Everyone from the admin of the smallest server to the mythological ‘dev team’ has been imposing little changes on the world since its inception, slowly tweaking it into a better environment for Player-kind.A single spawn at the world's centre. The ability of Players to chat from one end of the world to another -- even across different worlds. Even natural regeneration, an ability unique to the rarest and most powerful of mobs. As time marched on, Players not only unlocked these things but began to take them for granted, drawing far away from the behaviour of normal mobs. This became normal. Players continued to create datapacks and run commands that tweaked the very nature of the world. -@/draconic-dreams

(Shade note: Perhaps it was just a random glitch, one fundamental line of code removed to shift the balance of power. Or maybe it was orchestrated, but by who and for what purpose? Either way, it will take the Hermits a while to realize this, and even longer to fix it...if they can at all.)

- Jessasin spawned in a mesa biome, of course he's confused on how he got there and why he's in this random vanilla world and not his usual modded world, but both questions got pushed aside when the death messeges arrive. He exploared the area gathering as much recourses as he can and goes off too find someone, anyone really. - @/ghan-does-things

- hello! I discovered the scattered au literally yesterday so sorry if this is something that has already been gone over but I had an idea about bdubs, what if his constant exposure to the void and surviving on nothing but chorus fruit for who knows how long made him slightly enderman-y? 1/2 (sorry, couldn't fit the whole thing in one ask)Like nothing obvious at first, but making eye contact makes him agitated and snappy, touching water makes his skin tingle and if you look at him in the dark his eyes seem to have a very faint pink/purple glow about them? Maybe the other hermits swear he's taller than he was the last time they saw him? And the tips of his fingers are blackened, he assumes due to frostbite, but it seems to gradually be making it's way further up his hands? again sorry if this has been gone over already 2/2 - @/plantichu

- Okay so after Welsknight and Helsknight manage to get past the crazy vault door in Hels, not sure how but it probably involved a lot of cussing on Hels part and Wels saying that he never wanted to look at redstone ever again. The portal takes them to the overworld near Xisuma and Jevin. - anonymous

- (scattered au) The first set of non hermits to join this corrupt world are two strangers that apparently came from infinity's grasp. The good news they both spawned at spawn, bad news the brought the tnt duper flying machines, good news that everyone was able to calm them both down. Now the fun begins. Tldr Illmango and Methodz finally get out of the infinity portal. - anonymous

- Loving the Scattered AU. Late to the party, but was looking at the wider MC community reaction to the Hermits vanishing. Once it's clear something bad's happened, would the Legacy crew and whoever else (former Evo squad members like Martyn and Jimmy as well, if they notice Grian go dark) take steps to find out what happened? Would they go to the MCC server (it's kind of a nexus between worlds) & get Noxcrew to try "pinging" the HC server? Would X & other admins see it but be unable to respond? - @/wixelt

- I dont know if anyone has mentioned it but uhhhh, guardian xb? he was a guardian hybrid before everyone got scattered like Ren was already a wolf/dog hybrid. iirc xb spawned in a desert which would be a very interesting place for a guardian hybrid to spawn - anonymous

- Etho has been so, so desperate to avoid dying the same way twice, to stay himself. He hasn't drowned that many times, he thinks. Surely, surely he's starved more often? There's a strange feeling of deja vu hanging over him when he respawns in the ocean, though he can never understand why. Each time the squid finds him, he drowns a little slower, and each time, he glows a little stronger.And he just can't understand, almost refuses to, as he treks from biome to biome, where the small green bumps that line his arms and face came from, how his fingertips seem to almost glow when he scoops a handful of water, how long he finds himself simply staring… at the moon, at sea lanterns, at torches, at lights… He would die a different way every time. He had to. He had to stay Etho. He would not become anything else. - Anonymous

- When Mumbo comes riding into camp on Daisy, it’s easy to see Impulse is not happy about the ravager being there. That’s expected, it’s not exactly everyone’s favorite mob to see around a safe haven. But when Mumbo and Impulse make eye contact, the evoker can’t help but make a simple warding gesture his friends at the mansion taught him- it’s a reflex move. Days later, Mumbo still isn’t sure if Impulse flinched because of Daisy’s sudden growl or his ward. - @/fluffy-papaya

- (From the Discord) What happened to the world: For years, seeds and the land they built had been carefully curated by those known as players, in an effort to make it both easier and more interesting for themselves. But the land doesnt want to be controlled. Their glitched, broken world is a result of the world itself rioting against their presence. Coordinates aren't visible with the debug screen, their coms only serve the world, to tell the players what it knows. Compasses spin wildly in the overworld, for there is no "world spawn" (though coordinates are visible with one in hand. Small mercies are still given). The world resists any further changes by the simple fact it refuses to accept what a hermit communicates. Maybe it's fixable, but maybe... maybe it runs deeper than just their world. (The Legates caused a lot of damage with all those withers, after all.) - @/basaltdragon

- While Iskall is in the desert, he ends up dying quite a few times, enough to adapt, he becomes like a stray, so now, if we have skeleton Etho, we have 3 undead hermits - anonymous

- When everyone is finally gathered and they manage to come together to use all their skills, new and old, the hermits use it to flee back to Season 7. They stay there for months, mostly to heal and adjust to what happened to them. (Trauma isn't easy) Those who have friends or family off server get invited to visit, but the hermits don't leave, they nearly lost each other and they aren't willing to risk it again right now. They'll make a new season 8 at some point, the hermits are too (1/3)restless and too ingrained in their ways to completely disregard how they've always done things, but that will come when they feel better, safer, more put together, when they can finally stop sleeping in a big pile becuase they're afraid the others will disappear. They never go back to that old glitched world, the idea makes them sick, and X starts the new practice of sending in the 'Cam' and/or 'alt' accounts in first to check out the world and set up commands and plugins remotely first. (2/3) What happened before will never, ever happen again he swears it. Next time they might not be so lucky after all [if you can call them all being traumatized, many of them dying over and over again, some being permanently altered, and barely escaping lucky] (also feel free to save these asks for near the end of the au!) (3/3) - anonymous (Shade note: I personally like the idea of them fixing and learning to live in the glitched-out world, but this is another alternate ending!)

- (From the Discord) What happened to the world: Alternatively, what happened is exclusive to their world. (I don't have Dramatic Storytelling for this one, sorry) EX has ADHD to the max, and everything he does is a desperate attempt to get Noticed, to get looked up to and listened to. He's known it was "wrong" for a while, hence why he took X's name and added "Evil", but he never seriously wanted them to hurt. Just to listen to him. He'd meant to come in and fix it all and finally be a hero. He didn't realize, either through haste or inexperience, that he too would be at the mercy of what he'd done.Maybe he does, eventually, make it to where the hermits have gathered. But does he really want to admit everything? (RSD had burned him before, and if there ever was something to place the blame on his head...) - @/basaltdragon

- lasting effects of deaths

- a large amount of assorted ideas

- The bell they put on Daisy was originally of the type that are put on cats, but Grian ended up switching it out with a cowbell because he hated the sound - anonymous

- False, Keralis, Cleo, and Stress make it to spawn, bedraggled and exhausted. Out of all the Hermits, they are some of the last to arrive. Along the way, they’ve encountered trials innumerable that have left them beaten and bruised, but after months of travel, they’ve finally made it.Shortly after leaving the Moobloom field, they came upon an abandoned cart in the middle of a desolate village. With some of the redstone they had found and whatever magic they managed to scrape up, they turned it into a sort of vehicle that allowed them to travel much faster. It had a habit of breaking every six seconds or so, but nothing they couldn’t fix. For the most part. A few accidental combustions aside, they crossed the server in record time.Once at spawn, False has to be forcibly restrained from immediately starting guard duty, and several of the Hermits have to physically wrestle her into a bed in order for her to get some rest. Stress starts up a potion factory the next day, and also starts decorating the spawn with the flowers she’s collected during their travels. Keralis helps out wherever he’s needed, but in his downtime, he constructs an elaborate warren of tastefully decorated, industrial tunnels under the spawn, just in case they might help. Cleo mostly just stays in bed, creating elaborate dioramas and mourning the loss of her zombie side. She’ll get better, but it’ll take some time. And that’s ok with the rest of them. - @/topazastral

- When Doc, Grian, and Ren finally make it to 0,0 there is no fanfare, no dramtic entrance, no revulation. They were travling and suddnly, there was a base, a hermitcraft base, and they could see people. Grian clambers to feet shakily from the shed, nearly falling but Doc and Ren catch him and toghther they help him walk foward and call out to their friends. They are safe now, they're here- Is that mumbo on a ravager what the hell? Wait thats Impluse? Seems like Grian wasnt the only one changed. - anonymous

- Jellie reacting to vex!scar headcanons -she recognises him instantly. The moment she and xb arrive at spawn she darts straight towards him. Of course, she cant figure out why he looks different, but regardless, thats her owner and she demands pets!!!-sometimes she will jump up and try to pounce on his vex wings, because shiny moving thing! Scar picked up on this very quickly and will move out of the way before she gets the chance (vex wings are rather delicate and a pain to get fixed)-whe she's bored, she will always go to mumbo and daisy for attention first. This makes scar rather jealous and she knows that damn well-Scar will sometimes pick her up and fly her around not too far from spawn for a few minutes. Nothing she isnt used to, as he flys with the elytra all the time, but something about flying with vex magic just feels... different. And fun! - anonymous

- Contrary to the enderman bdubs, ender dragon bdubs. His eyes aren't the normal brown, and are instead a bright magenta, he also now has ashen gray horns. - Anonymous

- Scattered AU: The intended world "theme" Xisuma had set up for Season 8 was Large Biomes. This was before anyone knew something was going to go wrong, of course, but it's had a horrible lasting effect in the glitched world. Not everywhere has generated as "large", so when Hermits are travelling they'll sometimes find normal sized biomes, and other times they'll find one biomes that stretches an abnormal distance in all directions. Grian and Doc's mountain range is one of these large biomes. - @/wixelt

- For the scattered au, the snow golem follows Grian and Ren (and Doc) to the spawn haven, for a few days the hermits are wondering what's leaving behind snow trails and zombie flesh, so they decide to have a night watch around this area. Ren volunteered and waited, half-asleep he nearly nearly gets hit with a arrow when he hears the sound of a skeleton getting hurt. He sees the snow golem and uses his sword to kill the skeleton. The snow golem tries to flee but Ren realizes and stops it (1/2)He welcomes the snow golem and introduces it to Grian and Doc, (where the snow golem warns him that it is keeping its eyes on him in its own language). Spooked, Grian tells them that he can understand it, and the golem tells him that he's been following them since their time at the mountain. They decide to give it the name Catmint and it helps guard the hermit's base at night (while giving a stern look at Doc every now and then.(2/2) - anonymous

- (Scattered au)Seeing as we now have 3 different variations of Etho, I raise you: all 3 at once. It turns out Etho was not in fact human, instead a shapeshifter who didn't know that he was, the deaths simply sped up the process, whereas before, while he would change slightly, it was never fast enough to be noticeable - Anonymous

- I had this idea some time ago actually but I thought it was silly but now that the au in ending might as well say it. It doesn't make much sense now with all the new development srry. What if one day Mumbo was callibrating his comunication monstrosity, and suddenly his communicator had signal. He called and called but whoever was a the other side didn't pick up, until they did and Mumbo was overjoyed, but the happiness died down when he could only hear chocked sobs and sharp breathing and (1)teeth chattering. Suddenly a voice whispered, little and fragile "h-h-he-lp". Mumbo knew that voice too well. Before he could even open his mouth to let his best friend he was coming for him, he'd be okay, anything, the breathing stopped. The call was still going, but no one was at the other side anymore, Mumbo hung up with tears in his eyes, and he swore he'd find him and he'd help him. (2) - anonymous

- Scattered AU: While there's still time for them: Mumbo was the furthest Hermit out in the Overworld, & didn't set off for over a year, yet wasn't last to 0,0 (with Iskall) by any stretch. More than half the Hermits seemed to arrive after him. This can be partly attributed to Daisy making good time, but it makes you wonder how many trials & tribulations impeded False, Stress, Cleo and Keralis along the way? How much Ren, Doc & Grian were slowed by Grian's condition? What took xB or Biffa so long? - @/wixelt

- Once everyone finds each other, at the world spawn, after the initial shock, and fixing of the world of course, the hermits all decide to settle much closer to each other. They were separated for quite a while, so it makes sense why they'd decide to keep close. Some groups also make shared bases. - anonymous

- I sort of want grian to be a bit more inhuman so how about grian’s skin on his arms, legs and most of his face permanently blackened by the severe frostbite and the rest of his skin has taken on a bluish tinge, his hair is no longer the Gold it was before but almost snow white with a tinge of dark and light blue, his ears and tail are snow white with what appears to be frost and ice growing on them (1/2)(2/2) grian can not cry because the tears will immediately turned to ice, he can’t swim because if his body touches the water the water will freeze over, his skin is cold to the touch and whatever he moves his body it will make a cracking sounds like breaking glass or smashing ice, no matter how warm it is he can always see his breath... i’m trying to think of more but I’m coming up blank so that’s it hope you like it. - anonymous

- bc i cant stand when cleo is unhappy: the moment she and joe reunite, joe realizes how horrible it is for her to have her body messed with against her will. and as an admin, he can modify her code to put her back to how she was in previous seasons (aka not totally rabid but still undead) - anonymous

- Admins log final day: I'm glad we'll all be able to wake up from this nightmare, and we're able to get an exit portal going thanks to Mango and Methodz having a backup of the key to open the infinity portal's power, we should be able to not only go back in time, but destroy this broken timeline. Were all grateful for them, and I did invite them both to help us incace this happens again. This will be the last day in this timeline, if you somehow found this helmet with these logs, thank you. :-) - anonymous

- Grian, Doc, and Ren find it hard to stay away from each other too long, especially Doc and Ren becuase they've been taking care of Grian for such a long time so they find themselves kinda hovering over him and Grian finds himself seeking them out even when he's with other hermits. The other groups, who've been toghther for awhile, do it too probs - anonymous

- Soon as Grian and Mumbo see each other, they launch themselves at the other and hold on for a long, long time. Iskall join in soon as he wanders by and they talk for hours about what happened, looking over Grian's new fox parts and the blue marks on his hands, Mumbo gray stained hands and magic, and just Iskalls overall experience. Also Grian's little fox buddy absolutely loves Daisy and vice versa. Its not uncommon to see the small fox riding on the ravager's back while Daisy scares people. - Anonymous

- I know I'm a bit out of loop w scattered au & is probably getting things wrong but consider this, when Mumbo accidentally summoned Scar, leaving Bdubs alone, Bdubs freaked out. The very person that meant rescue & hope for him back in the end is now gone, he felt like he's back into the void again and he thought Scar abandoned him because he's too weak & is a burden to Scar. (Yes I am currently drowning in Scardubs angst) - @/anthosaidsmth

- The glitches in the world didn't only happen to the Hermits, it happened to all worlds created in 1.17. The cause remains unknown, though it is believed that something or even someone corrupted/changed the code (what/who is up to imagination. In the case of the latter, so is the motive). My idea, we've already confirmed that Watchers are arrogant jerks so perhaps they couldn't stand the fact that players learned to do things against the rules that they put in place, and did this out of spite. - anonymous

- A bit late but I see all the Fox!Grian headcannons so what if Grian spawned in a jungle and slowly became a parrot hybrid instead? How idk, maybe resorting to eating seeds to prevent himself from starvation because there is no animals in this jungle.

- Here's a thought: The Hels!Hermits were also effected by whatever caused the scattering. They may all hate or annoy each other, but not having each other around to pick on isn't very fun (neither are death loops). Perhaps some of them gain humility over this or learn to be at least a bit nicer to each other and their counterparts. (or some of them find sadistic amusement in their counterpart's miseries) - anonymous

- Finally, once everyone has made it safely to spawn and the problems with the world have been resolved, the season begins. Some of the Hermits may have changed (more than just physically) but over time, they adapt and recover. Grian eventually starts yet ANOTHER war, Tango gets to build DO 2.0 (X is terrified at the fact wardens are involved), and Cleo becomes a coach on 'how to be a mob hybrid' (unless all new hybrids get returned to how they were before by admin powers or just being players). - anonymous

- With all the glitches fixed and all the hermits starting to get back to their normal (Well as normal as it can be after all of these), I wonder if Scar is still a vex. All the hermits just adapted to their situations, but Scar is different, he made a deal with the Vex. - @/anthosaidsmth

- It takes all of the hermits that changed a while to get used to the changes, but eventually they do, mostly through help and support from the other hermits - anonymous

- I had a wee idea and it's a little silly but I like hurt/comfort so maybe after all the scattered au events have passed and the hermits are all together living safely, every winter some hermits invite Grian to their bases to take care of him since the snow and the cold are very bad for him. Sometimes he gets fevers but most of the time he just needs a warm blanket and someone to distract him from the snow. This is also making me wonder if Grian could develop chinophobia (fear of the snow). - Anonymous

[give-grian-rights]

Can i ask what exactly is the worship au?? Ive seen you talk about it but i never understood what it is

Right!! The Worship AU is a Grian, Technoblade, and sometimes Dream centric au!

basically, you know how Chiseled Blackstone or whatever it’s called, looks kinda like Grian’s face? yeah. so. in this au, the chiseled blackstone block is meant to be representative of some sorta Piglin god. Perhaps The Blood God?

Technoblade, who simps for Grian during MCC, and having all sorts of fun interactions, thus thinks Grian is that god.

Grian either IS, OR he has godly powers anyway. Evo SMP made him a demi-god, basically. so Techno befriends him, and in turn Grian starts using his powers to help him in small ways. giving him  rare loot-table drops, making him regen faster, etc.

the au is basically just... Techno and Grian being friends. Grian using godly powers to help Techno. Techno bringing resources to Grian, helping him with grindy tasks and breaking into Hermitcraft.  Sometimes Dream gets involved because he wants godly luck, too. 

and yeah! most of it’s under just the tag Worship au on my blog, i’ve been trying to work on masterposts but. but. i post way to much and i honestly.. have no idea how to get one done efficiently.

[cregla]

DREAM SMP UNDERTALE!AU

I’ve read so many Undertale!AU for the Dream SMP and I wanted to try with mine. Keep in mind that I go for roles and not characterization in most of the cases.

Warning: long post incoming.

WORLDBUILDING:

Unlike the "monsters vs humans" issue, I think there was a server war. Thus the inhabitants of the Dream SMP and their descendants were locked up Underground: people can go there, but they cannot go out. However, falling into the Underground from the outside put you in Hardcore mode, with only one canon life left. There is a legend that says that the Barrier can be broken using the last canon life (in the form of the SOUL) of seven inhabitants of other Servers.

THE FALL: One day a endermen hybrid named Ranboo falls into the Underground. Left with only one life and wounded, the boy is greeted by a green hooded figure with a smiling mask on his face. The figure tries to get the boy to come with him with kind words, but a ghost appears at Ranboo's side and warns him not to follow the other or trust him. Undecided about what to do and who to listen to, Ranboo hesitates and the figure, "Dream", reveals his true colors trying to attack and kill him. Fortunately, before he can hurt Ranboo, a crossbow bolt grazes Dream's shoulder and an axe comes between the two. A piglin hybrid warrior stands before them, and after he threatens Dream, the masked man leaves.

THE RUINS: The piglin is called Technoblade. Initially he was about to leave Ranboo there, but noticing how injured he was from the fall he decides, after some “voices” convinced him, to take him home to rest. On the way, Techno explains to Ranboo where he is and that he is "retired", in peace, and that in the Ruins most of the inhabitants are peaceful and that they don't want trouble. Ranboo also encounters another ghost, "Ghostbur", who spends his time in the Ruins taking care of a blue sheep and occasionally keeping Techno company. Unlike Ghostbur no one, apart from Ranboo, can see the other ghost, the little boy who had warned him about Dream: the boy not only does not say his name, but warns Ranboo not to talk about him, or people could call him crazy. The ghost, however, accompanies Ranboo giving him advice on the Underground and always pushing him on the mercy road. Ranboo can also feel another “ghost” following him, but he can never find someone there when he try to look for them. He just knows that he’s being followed. Ranboo spends a few weeks at Techno's house and in the meantime the two bond (even if Techno denies it). Ranboo also bonds with the ghost boy.

LEAVING:

Once healed, however, Ranboo would like to figure out how to get home - and he is also prompted by the ghost boy to leave the Ruins and "carry on". Hearing this, Techno initially tries to make him stay, but then he heads for the door of the Ruins. Here, Techno explains what the ghost also told Ranboo: that it takes the SOULS of seven inhabitants of another server to destroy the barrier... and that only one was missing. And that in order to leave the Underground, Ranboo would have to kill an SMP resident who has only one life left, and use their SOUL to get through the barrier.

Techno explains how he initially agreed with the plan to kill seven people to save everyone, but that he had seen with his own eyes how that path had corrupted everyone, how the King and the government had corrupted everything and everyone, people he knew, who he considered good, the ones (and one) he cared about the most. That was why he had retired, escaping to the Ruins. Normally he would let Ranboo go without stopping him, caring little about what happens outside the Ruins, but as his "mentor" he would like him to stay there (obviously, he doesn't say it so directly, he's still Technoblade, duh)... and that, no matter how much he disagrees with the King now, he was once his closest friend and cannot allow either of them, Ranboo or the King, to die. Techno then challenges Ranboo to see if he would be strong enough to survive out there, or worthy to leave the Underground. Ranboo obviously refuses to fight, and Techno at some point gives in. He gives him his Axe of Peace (at which sight the ghostboy seems to darken) and urges him to have no mercy on his enemies, before letting him pass and abandon the ruins... Ranboo and the ghost boy leaves, not before seeing Dream lurking in the shadows.

SNOWCHESTER:

Ranboo and the ghost boy find themselves in a tundra biome. Here the two make their way through the forest when a figure appears behind them. But what seemed like a sudden threat turns out to be a simple young man in a multicolored sweatshirt who greets Ranboo cheerfully: he introduces himself as Karl and asks him if he's from the external servers and what he's doing here. After hearing his story, Karl quietly warns him of the Royal Guards, including his two boyfriends, who go in search of other server members to kill in order to collect their SOULS. Karl lazily offers to escort Ranboo to Snowchester, the town nearby, but the two are interrupted by the arrival of Karl's two boyfriends: Sapnap and Quackity. The two immediately try to capture and/or kill Ranboo, and only his quick reflexes and the brief intrusions of Karl (who tries to calm the situation, but does not fight or defend him physically) allow Ranboo to escape. A chase in the woods starts until, thanks also to the ghost boy's suggestions, Ranboo manages to make them lose his tracks. Ranboo and the ghost boy then travel alone to Snowchester, interspersing the encounters with the Underground inhabitants with Sapnap and Quackity ambushes and interactions with Karl here and there. Upon reaching Snowchester, Ranboo interacts again peacefully with the townspeople before battling Quackity and Sapnap one last time. Ranboo manages to escape from the two but when the Royal Guards find themselves in a situation of real danger, Ranboo decides to help and save them. The two, confused, let him go, but remain aggressive and tell him that when he has to deal with the Warden, he will not be so lucky. Before leaving Snowchester, Karl also give Ranboo a phone and his number, and offers his help during the adventure...

Here’s a masterpost of my most recent fanfiction; I would’ve posted just this but I was afraid it wouldn’t show up in any tags due to the hyperlinks!

Fears To Ease And Flesh To Mend

Ranboo and Tubbo find out that unzombifying a piglin is a bit different from unzombifying a villager, and they start off parenthood with quite a few complications and in a little over their heads. For the sake of their child, they may need to put awkwardness aside and ask for help.

stay golden, from now, til the end of the universe

the king begs for his mercy, claiming that a trader found it in the impoverished of a fallen kingdom, and gifted it to the kingdom

he yields

he was tired of all the bloodshed and death, surrounding him, caused by him, the blood staining on his hands

he listened to the voices of the universe telling him to protect fruit but not at this cost

plus, with a quick check of magic he could tell whether if the king lies or not

---

now he uses his magic, protecting hbg and its citizens, coming to terms with all that's passed

he helped fruit and the rest of the original hbg citizens to cope with the loss of illumina, and traversing the nether and end

and after the years has passed, finds inner peace, and carries his loved ones close in his heart

posted on ao3 or read below :D

check out the series masterpost!

King Couriway stood quietly in fear. TapL pointed his netherite blade down, away from the king's hair.

"What do you have to say?"

"Fulham found the apple months ago, he said he found it among the poor of the collapsed kingdom of Hypixel, I swear we aren't involved with your parents, I swear on the Universe, I swear on Illumina."

"What he said was true!" Fulham exclaimed, his blade drawn but pointed towards the ground.

TapL smiled sadly upon hearing his brother's name. He looked around, seeing the spirits of his family nearby, seeing the members of hbg in the room, his family in arms. He knew that they, his family, wouldn't have wanted this. He listened to the whisper of the golden apple, telling him the truth of its past. Fulham and Couriway were clean of his family's blood. Illumina smiled sadly back, hovering over Fruit. He caught his mother's eye. He begged for their forgiveness. He was tired of fighting. He was tired of death. He was tired of blood staining his hands and blade. He felt a tear track down his cheek. He placed his sword away in a pocket dimension.

TapL kneeled in front of the king. "I'm sorry for my outburst. I will take whatever punishment you find fitting."

---

Couriway was as fair of a King, as told by rumors.

His forgave TapL, and gave him the order, to help the kingdom with his magic, and teach them to traverse the nether and end, to teach them the history of the universe.

And that TapL did.

He taught them about the nether, of forgotten landscapes of red and gray and black, the blue flames of soul sand and the lakes of lava, the burgundy and cyan of the new trees and life.

He taught them of potions, of redstone and glowstone and netherwart, commended Raddles' work with the elixir of regeneration.

He taught them of beasts, of blazes and piglins and ghasts, of bartering and shields.

He taught them of the curse of the black skull, to be extremely careful, and to warn them of the wither who brought destruction to civilization.

He told them stories of the universe's past, of new life coming in, the way universe changed and grew and created, of Illumina's history and the dragon.

Through his stories, bit by bit, each person in hbg slowly heals, slowly overcame their grief without forgetting

He traveled with them through the end portal, to reach the city at the end of the game. The universe was more welcoming to the visitors of the sacred realm this time, whispering welcomes and love. He sees in the distance, a small crowd, members of his family only to be seen by those who read the tome. He lets the other hbg guards go through the portal first. He held his family tight in his arms again, in the realm with an inky sky, the closest he'll be to the universe until his time to join it.

He looked at Couriway, who picked up an elytra in shades of gold. They nodded, and TapL guided Couriway into the golden sunset, Couriway's first flight as he cheered in joy.

---

Years have gone by. The kingdom has became renowned, the original members guide travelers through the forests to reach their kingdom, as its citizens flourished.

TapL sat upon the highest tower of the castle. Fruit was planning on joining him in a bit. He sat and watched the clouds dyed in colors of gold drift by. He was at peace. Illumina and Techno's silver frames came by and sat with him, Techno showing his ears and Illumina stretched his sets of wings. They watched, as the sun sets. His family was safe and with him, and may the kingdom of hbg stay golden, from now til the end of time.
