Empires - Tumblr Posts
Emperors as Faery courts lets go
Scott; winter, obviously- he is literally the eternal winter
Xornoth (yes I know he’s not an emperor I just don’t care); summer
Shubble; late-esk Spring
Katherine; Spring
Pearl; autum. and I mean freaking queen of the autumns
Joel; early summer
Jimmy; somewhere around like, late summer I think. honestly not too sure on this one but I’m sticking to late summer
Lizzie; late spring/early summer aka queen’a the seelie
Joey; early autumn that acts like a late autumn
Gem; early spring
Sausage; mid autumn
Fwhip; late autumn
Pixl; he’s got series summer vibes, but also fall vibes. but he lives in the desert so I’m going summer
(also this does have some Seelie vs. Unseelie elf brothers but honestly that’s basically canon)
yes I do like to imagine that Scott, Pearl, Katherine, and Xornoth have meetings and stuff and now I need to write some headcanons for this because it’s definitely chaotic
Jimmy could feel his husband's hands shaking in his own. He could hear the other's laboured breathing.
The statue was beautiful, though.
The giant cod was fragile and nimble, the opposite of the iron one it faced- that one was sturdier, clunkier.
Floating shards circled its body like stars. Antlers, thin and bony and ethereal, protruded from its head like a crown.
Jimmy could see his docks reflected in the packed-ice surface.
"Thank you," he whispered, turning to look at Scott and wiping his thumb across the other's clammy cheek. "Its beautiful"
"Its dangerous" Scott replied instantly. Jimmy could tell he was staring at the spot on the water where the statues tail met the surface. "That whole pond could freeze over, all of those cod would die-"
"I trust you" Jimmy's voice left no room for argument. "I trust you, the cod trust you."
"Your council is already on your back, if the statue puts more cod in danger-"
"They arent in danger" was all Jimmy said. "Not from you." He laughed. "From salmon, maybe, but hey- they like warmer water than my cod, maybe this'll deter them."
Scott laughed, his voice still wet from crying. "You're welcome."
Son
It’s been a thousand years since her son died.
The world changed, the people changed, and she created no other child. Why should she? Having reached perfection once… why try again?
But here he was.
Standing before her, just as he’d always been.
This wasn’t the badlands, this wasn’t Mezalea-- but there was its king. He was dressed differently, wearing a short toga with a green sash. Still, there was her son… placing an armor stand in her jungle.
And then he was gone, disappeared off into the distance.
Not to his mesa, she’d checked. She knew the land’s new king--- the younger child of the ocean. But, just like her son, he was different.
She watched the strange item her son had given her.
She wrapped herself around it, placing life into its wooden bones, draping it in a cloak of the beautiful magenta of her son’s mesa.
‘Hermes,’ she whispered in his ear. ‘Son of Stratos, son of Sanctuary.’
“Father?” The protector held the child tight to his chest. Maybe, She decided, she could love her son’s beloved too.
It’s been a thousand years since her son died.
It’s been a moment since her grandson spoke.
How I think each of the s1 and s2 Empires characters would react to seeing each other.
False is kinda terrified of Pearl, but overall thinks she's cool. Pearl wants False to be her new sparring buddy (like, the woman built a machine to murder giant hunks of metal and wears clothes she pilfered from a corpse, of course Pearl would love her). False doesnt understand that this is a statement of affection and is even more terrified.
The Scotts are just the 'Misery and CPR' meme. Elf Scott keeps talking about his demon brother and tragic backstoryTM, and the Chromia king just goes "oh yea a magic skull stole my eyeball and a wizard gave me a new one.' Eventually they start talking about their bfs and become friends ('my husband rescued me from a dungeon so I built him a cave full of his favorite things' 'nice. My boyfriend just shows up randomly and gives me wood').
The Jimmys absolutely confuse the hell out of each other. The Codfather just off-handedly talks about his traumatic past in between bouts of how awesome his sister and brother-in-law are. He's a god and totally unbothered by it, while the Sheriff keeps grumbling about God calling him a toy when he is Not A Toy. They introduce each other to the other Norman.
The Sausages just point at each other like the spiderman meme. They joke about their trauma while still smiling. They coo over Bubbles together. The protector of Sanctuary talks about Eddie and Hermes. The king of Mythland talks about his little siblings and how much he loves them; he also mentions his best friend who sounds suspiciously similar to the sunflower goddess...
The Joels HATE each other. God Joel keeps making fun of the Mad King for being short and made of clay and he just laughs his ass off, doesnt acknowledge him, and rants about how amazing his fish wife is. God Joel feels insecure and angry, the Mad King is offended because someone is ignore how AMAZING AND WONDERFUL his wife is.
The Pixls have a wonderful afternoon drinking and spilling tea. They discuss philosphy and history, they lovingly make fun of Jimmy, they compliment each other's empires.
Shrub and Shelby are instant friends. Shrub is kinda scared of Shelby because witches could mean bad news, but Shelby instantly introduces Tortoise and all goes well. They talk about their different magic, Shelby gives a whole bundle of potions to the wolves. They talk about how cute Katherine is and mom-friend Joey.
The Joeys respect each other. They arent that close, but they think each other are cool. They fight over if Katherine or Xornoth is better; neither wins but they have fun coming up with compliments for the people they like (they also talk as if said objects of affection love them back).
The Katherines go monster hunting together. Overgrown Katherine talks about her awesome gnome gf. Glimmer Grove Katherine complains about her suitor that cant seem to understand that she isnt a pirate.
At first, the fWhips bond over chaos and destruction. 'I put wardens in half the server's bases to thank them for coming to my wedding' 'I created a ravine.' All goes well until Jimmy gets brought up. Count fWhip complains about the whole 'board of dead salmon' thing, and Goblin fWhip jumps to his defense. They get into a big ol fight and make up a little while later.
The Gems, while amicable, dont really like each other. Wizard Gem thinks Princess Gem's a scardy cat, and Princess Gem thinks Wizard Gem is too intense and a little scary. They do have fun talking about fWhip and Sausage though.
Mayor Lizzie is both a little intimidated by the ocean enpress, and also thinks she's super cool. She's an actual strong, tall, powerful god (unlike the one from Stratos). She is a little scary, though, cause of the army of axolotls and the whole water thing. The ocean empress thinks she's nice (and kinda funny); Mayor Lizzie really reminds her of her friend with his empire of cats before he got corrupted...

Here is Pix doing a sick backroll off the crastle, but as my dramatic mental image of this scene.
Because we love drama. :D
You see Pix's face? That's a face of a man who finally became part of the hermitcraft canonical lore, after years of recapping it. Lol
Empires rise and fall.... as long as human civilisation exists.
What exists today will be history tomorrow.

You first become aware of this when you have lived in a phase of civilisation upheaval. Rarely does this happen without a sound, but usually after massive preliminary events that herald the upheaval.
May you live in a quiet time and even that is in your hands because those who remain silent agree.
roseblings doodle i did in math :) forgot gem’s glasses but it’s fiiiine
THERE IS NO WAY. THE EXPLOSION FWHIP HEARD. IT WAS THIS. OH MY GOD.
anyway i’m gonna spam you guys with various unfinished things that I like here’s a vampire au I came up with a little while ago lmao
“you know, I wasn’t even gonna buy it.” scott is saying to grian. “like, I knew it was silver, but equally the price was just ridiculous.”
“you did buy it though.” grian points out. “how much even was it?”
“like, £250.” scott says.
“for that?” grian says, pointing at the little poppy pendant on scott’s necklace.
“i know.” scott nods. “I think I was scammed. there’s not even a gem in here.”
“you think?” grian says. “you’ve been alive for, like, 600 years and you didn’t think to haggle. not to mention that’s literally silver; how are you still wearing it?”
“I like it.” scott shrugs. “besides, it’s not too painful.”
“it shouldn’t be at all painful!” grian exclaims. “just get fake silver, no one can tell the difference.”
“yeah, but this was only in genuine silver.” scott says. “besides i’m sure i’ll have a spare chain lying around, i’ll look later.”
“I swear, lizzie is the only one who cares about safety here.”
at that moment, the door crashes open, lizzie stood panting in the doorway, flapping her arms excitedly at something behind her.
“speak of the devil.” grian says.
“hello.” scott says. “any reason you want to dent my wall?”
“new- new vampire.” lizzie says through breaths. “oh, goodness. I ran here.”
“sit down.” grian says. “and I retract my previous statement. apparently only I care about safety.”
lizzie sinks into a sofa, fanning her face. she glances over at scott. “is that real silver?”
“yup.” scott says.
“that’s silly.” lizzie says.
“well, i’m gonna get another chain.” scott says.
“still silly.” lizzie says. “that stuff doesn’t mess around.”
“what’s this about silver?” joel is at the door, accompanied by an unfamiliar man.
“scott has a silver necklace.” grian says.
“that’s dumb.” joel says.
“that’s what I said.” lizzie nods. “anyway! new vampire, guys!”
“hey.” the stranger says shyly.
he’s quite pretty. tall, with honey blonde hair and brown eyes. he looks like a newly turned, not quite old yet. scott can’t seem to take his eyes off him.
“i’m jimmy.” he says. “uh. not.. entirely sure how this whole vampire thing works? um. yeah.” he chuckles awkwardly. scott might be in love.
grian clearly notices (because of course he does) and snorts. scott elbows him.
“he’s just some guy.”
“and so what is scar?”
scott watches grian’s face turn red with smug satisfaction.
“shut up.”
“guys, introduce yourselves!” lizzie says as joel sits on the sofa next to her.
“i’m grian.” he says. “been around for, uh.. about half a millennia. and i actually care about safety.” he shoots scott a look.
scott rolls his eyes. “i’m scott. i’ve been alive for 617 years. and.. I don’t know, I like poppies.” he shrugs, hoping it’s not obvious how much he’s trying to look casual.
“you know me and lizzie.” joel says. “uh, there are a couple of others but they’re not here today.”
“well, welcome to the club.” grian says. he turns to lizzie. “do we have a name, I can’t remember.”
“I have no idea, I set this up centuries ago.” lizzie says. “if we do I can’t remember it.”
she looks up to see jimmy still stood awkwardly. “come sit!” she says, patting the sofa on the other side of her.
“yeah, we don’t bite.” scott grins. “well, not often.”
“oh, don’t tease.” lizzie says, as jimmy sits down tentatively next to her. “he’s kidding.” she tells him. “we don’t even drink blood.”
jimmy frowns. “what do you drink?”
“coconut water.” grian says. “it can be used for emergency blood transfusions—joel found this out for us—and so it’s somehow the same for us as drinking blood.”
jimmy grins, and god damn it, he’s handsome. “wait, so you’re vegan vampires?”
“I-“ lizzie thinks for a second. “vegan is when you eat only plants, right?” joel nods. “then yes, I suppose so.”
“that’s so funny.” jimmy says. “oh! that’s what you should call this club! ‘vegan vampires’!” he exclaims, and oh, god, it is so cute.
“I like that.” lizzie says, clicking her fingers. “can we call it that?”
“you made this club.” grian reminds her. “so yeah.”
“awesome!” lizzie beams. “we are now the vegan vampires.”
WAHHHH
Rancher Reunion board for when you need to Reunite ur Ranchers
Jimmy learned from Scar for sure
You want pepole to fear and respect you? Get these jitties out. Make them see these abs and muscules
But he didn't remember that you have to be a little scary and intimidating first or you will just look funny
don't think about it, don't think about it

WHY IS THE RIFT ON EMPIRES??!?!!!?
something i think is funny is how like for different mcyts we say their names differently but it’s like- for their different fandoms? like dsmp u just say their full names like “tubbo” but never “toby” or like.. “dream” and never say their real names.
but then with empires it’s “joel” and not “smallishbeans” and “lizzie” but not “ldshadowlady” and “jimmy” but not “solidarity”
it’s like we’re closer to empires than dsmp and it makes me happy bc it feels more personal i luv my fandom okay bye<3
jimmy is a toy truthers are soooooo happy right now. overjoyed. hes a little guy. solidarity gaming is a TOY and everyone knows it now. ty jimmy human truthers u suck <3
also jimmy taking his pants off and putting the bed on the ground in front of joel hes so real for that. ofc sausage had to one up him by making joel bleep something out but they so pushed the pg hermitcraft rating i love them <3
yes i do think he is !!!!
"Hermits are an invasive species"
Screw it. Life series/The Owl house.
I already have a au of this but I wanted to throw this idea out there.
I’ve had this au for a while so here’s a few characters I’ve matched (kind of):
Luz: Jimmy.
Amity: Scott. (yes Flower husbands. Sue me.)
Hunter: Martyn. (Religious guilt boi)
Eda&Lilith: Sky siblings? (Grian&Pearl)
And let’s reach! Grumbot as King, and Mumbo as the Titan!
I think an empires/Life series/Hermitcraft Owl house au would be the bomb tbh.
