Empires concept where empires s2 pixlriffs continuously starts finding ancient artifacts on the riverbed of a small stream nearby.

Things like potshards, copper plaques and tableware are deeply embedded in the mud, probably having been there for hundreds of years. Pix immediately takes interest in it, thinking it must've belonged to the people of the ancient Capital once.

It doesn't take long to realise that it's in fact not from the Capital. The art on the shards and the plaques show that the items have a way Eastern origin. The river must've taken it miles away from its homestead, seeing how the waves of the river are inbedded in the broken plates.

Pix starts collecting them, meticulously gluing pieces back on their respectful place and unraveling the story of these people that have long left this realm. And so, slowly but surely, he tells us the story of what really happened to the Copper King and the empire of Pixandria.

HELLO TUMBLR I HAVE ARRIVED ONCE AGAIN TO CREATE CHAOS

Now hear me out

So there's is this child right. A enderman child who lost their parents when they were very young.

There are rifts appearing to different dimensions, and maybe, somehow someway, he ends up going through one of those.

Being made of magic and getting send to a world where that magic doesn't exists fucks him up big time. He loses his memory. His body changes to desperately adapt to the new environment. His thoughts get jumbled and turn into voices.

And now he's a whole lot older and still trying to figure out who he is and what happened.

This clip from Jimmy's stream of today got me going mental. The way he responded when Sausage mentioned the CodFather got my tiny brain spinning

It got vibes of an old voice of God (The CodFather for the Cod Council) forced to flee from his home, but not wanting to let go of his past. still wanting to somehow redeem himself, so he continues to spread the word of the council. He just doesn't want to give in that he completely fucked it and that there's no redemption. He doesn't want to believe that maybe the council wasn't that.. Great.

So he prays. For his people. For himself. For the world. Because maybe one day, if he tries hard enough, he won't have to anymore.

(but then also he immediately proceeds to beat people with shovels and kill a horse. In good ol Jimmy fashion.)

(Also "you're only really a saint when you die" hits so hard. Something something the CodFather won't find redemption from the council until he's dead.)

Headcanon that the Cod Council was responsible for the end of the world, and the CodFather (& Fwhip) were merely a means to an end.

Jimmy never really did anything wrong to the council, and there was no reason for him to really have the codhead taken away. But the council knew Jimmy would grow desperate and that he'd do anything to get it back. They wanted him to team up with fwhip.

There really wasn't anything wrong with the forge, nor what they did. Fwhip knew this by heart, he build the thing himself. It simply wasn't possible. But what he didn't know was that by putting the Cod/Salmon in the forge, they basically lended the council full control over it. And the council was out for blood. And they succeeded.

In fact, the council started the war in the first place. They purposely egged Fwhip on to take action. They told Jimmy lies and exaggerated everything that Fwhip did. They might've even been the ones to suggest to Fwhip to hide the codhead in the End Dimension (of course not as cod. No, they put on their salmon disguise for him).

So when the world burned, Jimmy fled. He believed he'd never be able to redeem himself to the council. But in reality, he did exactly what they wanted.

But, that's not the end of it.

See, when Sausage brought the Cod Statue from S1 to S2, something went allong with it.

And the council, having spotted the new and improved Jimmy, who now has not only gone into a villian arc but also has control over all gunpowder farms, have decided to do it again. (perhaps under a new name. "Fae".)

At this moment it is 1 am and I can't sleep

Currently thinking about the concept of Winchester acting all super nice and sweet when Pixlriffs is around, but the moment pix is gone he becomes a massive prick. Just an absolute nightmare.

Gem had to babysit him once. He woke up at 3 am, then woke up gem by pulling at her shirt and then immideately went back to sleep the moment she woke.

He sometimes just appears in Tumble Town. He will wait around the corner of the tunnel so when the Sherrif passes by he can snatch the hat and sprint off.

Winchester keeps making a mess in Chromias Inn and Owen always gets blamed for it.

He pushed Fwhip face first into a puddle with his head once.

Any anytime someone tries to tell Pix of how horrible of a creature Winchester truely is, Pix shakes his head. Winchester would NEVER do such a thing. Winchester is the kindest, bravest boy out there. He's such a delight. How dare you accuse him of such things. Unacceptable.

Rancher duo au, where everything is as normal. The only difference is that when Tango feeds the farm animals, he starts loudly singing "it's raining meeh" and Jimmy never gets the joke.

Tango tried many times to explain to Jimmy that's its funny because "it's like the song 'it's raining men', but replaced with the noise sheep make". And Jimmy just keeps replying with "no they don't. They don't say that."

(extra: this is how tango finds out that Jimmy can speak to sheep, and how Jimmy finds out that people normally don't speak to sheep)

Sausage, being an interdimensional being, teaching everyone the macarena because no one in empires seems to know it and it upsets him greatly.

They're all standing in the middle of the plaza of Sanctuary. They've been doing the macarena for multiple hours now because Jimmy just can't seem to get it right and Sausage isn't allowing anyone to leave until everyone can do it perfectly. Everybody is exhausted. Joel broke a hip. Shelby passed out halfway through. Jimmy is crying. So is Scott, but for different reasons.

It will forever go in the history books as one of the darkest days of the Empires smp.

I think it would be funny if esmp s2 Jimmy's hat could talk, but only Jimmy could hear it.

Hundreds of years ago a demon roamed the lands and killed everything it crossed paths with (*HUEH* xornoth *HUEH* what sorry huh). As a last resort someone started turning in every mundane item they could find into a demon trap. After the demon was severely weakened and forced to pull back, it got stuck in a hat. For years and years it was forced to collect dust in a random chest, somewhere in a random mineshaft, somewhere in a random mesa. Until one day a mighty Sherrif stumbled apon it and started proudly wearing it.

The demon whispered to the Sherrif of all the riches it could grant. All the power he could give. The Sherrif merely shrugged, he was already powerful. He already had everything he needed. The only thing he really wanted, was a friend :)

The demon did not want to be his friend. But the Sherrif didn't care. The demon didn't really have a choice in his opinion. Besides, he did look very fancy with that hat.

[also, chat is the hat. Just like how philza has the ravens and techno the voices, Jimmy has a posessed hat :D]

God of Lore, not God of Lighting

Stratos headcanon where the citizen of Stratos sometimes just hold parties "In honour of Joel" and proceed to get really drunk.

They all sit in circles around the fountain, which is filled with red wine instead of water. The City streets fill with the sound of loud music and very out of tune, very drunk singing; and the scent of fermented grapes and freshly baked pies can be noticed all the way in Animalia (the council doesn't enjoy it as much as the Stratossers do).

The people proudly shout "Hail our Mighty God Joel!" while they take another swig from their tankard, all very well knowing that it's just an excuse to get absolutely fucked up.

Joel doesn't really mind. He might even take a sip or two himself. He's just happy enough he can give these people a safe place to lose themselves for the night.

[aka: the idea of Joel, the god of Lore, being less like Zeus (God of sky & thunder) but more like Dionysos (God of the grape-harvest, wine making, fertility, festivity, religious ecstasy, and theatre).]

(Also. I like cults.)

Tumble Town's Accolade

I've always had this lil headcanon about empires season 2 Jimmy, where he would give out these star brooch to people that have done something very amazing for Tumble Town. Like a star of honour.

The brooch is a golden star, a bit like the Deputy badges but smaller, and in fancy letters it reads "Tumble Town's Accolade".

Fwhip was the first one to recieve it, after helping Jimmy win the copyright battle. Although he doesn't wear it anymore, scared that the Sherrif will ask him to return that star too. The thought alone makes him shiver.

Both Kathryn and Sausage got one after helping Jimmy with the warden problem. Sausage put it on Bubbles' collar and Kathryn has it proudly displayed on her wall.

At last, both Tango and Scar received one as well. Scar for everything he build in Tumble Town and tango for.. Not really anything to be honest. The Sherrif just felt it was a good thing to do, although it sadly wasn't enough to convince Tango to stay.

Tango still wears it, hidden under his large cloak. Not at all visible, but that's not nessisary to him. He knows it's there.

(inspired by: Accolade - Domini Forster)

(extra: something happening to the Sherrif, and all the Accolades coming together and forming this group to get revenge. They actually do very well and become a very well known and feared clan around the server)

Hello tumblr people

Remember when I said that Tiny Tom from Empires SMP was Ranboo Live

Yea I'm back. Anyways Hermes and Purpled are the same person 👍👍

Update: purpled scares me but I've decided that I am going to battle my inner fear of cringe and I'm going full out on this too bc I think it's really funny

Purpled is Hermés, but all grown up. He moved out of his parents places to do bedwars competitively, inspired by watching his dad beat the shit out of others in the arena. Now that he no longer lives in Upper Stratos, the bedwars arena reminds him of home.

Purpled is merely the name he uses for the championships. It's like a stage name.

Also both their brands are purple and they look angry all the time. Very important detail.

I don't think Purpled uses tumblr. But if he ever somehow sees this. Hi. And also sorry lol.

Pixlriffs esmp s2 backstory HC where he was a student & teacher at an University :)

The College of Archeology, History, and Research was known worldwide as one of the best universities (and also one of the most difficult ones to get into). It was a gigantic university mixed with an archive and research facility, all in one building. When Pix was but a youngster, he dreamt of going to that college. So he was ecstatic when he got accepted basically immediately.

This is also where he met Winchester. The college -their main goal being preserving the past- had taken it upon themselves to hold and look after a family of almost extinct dodos. The dodos had their own area in the courtyard and all students (no matter which course they followed) had classes on how to take care of the creatures.

The family existed out of the two parent dodos, their three daughters, their two sons and.. Winchester.

See, Winchester siblings were very social and always absolutely delighted to see students. Perfect examples of how dodos truly were. Smart, kind, and helpful. Winchester was the complete opposite of what a dodo should be. He was an absolute menace.

He'd scream through the teachers' explanations, bite students and steal people's pens and notebooks. The college didn't quite know what to do with him. After all, getting rid of one of the rarest creatures on earth simply because they were uncooperative would be horrible for their reputation.

But everything changed when Pix joined the university and had his first lesson with the dodos. Because Winchester was obsessed. For the entire duration of the classes, Winchester would just stare at Pix with wide eyes and very silently follow him around the courtyard. Sometimes, when Pix would be standing still and Winchester got brave enough, he'd stand behind Pixl and observe the notes that were being taken.

To this day, no one really knows why Winchester was so mesmerized by Pix. But the college was more than delighted with the news and heavily encouraged Pix to continue attending the Dodo classes, even after the classes had been completed. Pix, although slightly hesitant at first, accepted and continued going. He got a bit more comfortable when being allowed to spend time with the bird alone and eventually they got very close. Pix learned Winchester multiple tricks and eventually, Winchester proved himself to be rather useful during research. He would be more than happy to carry books, retrieve items and chase away the other students if Pix felt like he wanted to have the archive for himself (which was never the case, but Winchester still did it for him with love).

When Pix graduated and applied to the college to become a teacher, he got Winchester appointed to him as his personal assistant. After a couple years, Pix moved on from giving classes to actual field research where he was allowed to take Winchester with him. That's how he ended up in the Ancient Capital :D

Winchester the bestest boi :)

(click for full pic)

I'm supposed to have my article about ash dieback finished today

but instead of that, i got really distracted. Like- really distracted..

It's alright though because Winchester deserves all the love and attention in the world. Plus I had a lot of fun drawing him :)

Also if there are any nerds here, like me, here is the traditional sketch with what everything on the pic is supposed to be:

I really like the idea of Winchester helping Pix with field research. Pix just takes Winchester with him to areas where the dodo just very excitedly sprints around, catching everything on the camera and giving Pixl a quick general idea of the landscape. He also works as extra storage and a quick escape if things escalate.

UPDATE: I WAS SO BUSY DRAWING BIRD THAT I HAD TO SEND IN AN ESSAY 5 HOURS AGO FUCKKKK

Update update: Very much struggling with figuring out how tumblr works O.O Couldn't figure it out so I'm replying like this: Someone reposted this post saying my artwork reminded her of Loftwings. I actually didn't know what it was, so I googled it and I thought it was really cool! Especially since from what i read it's based of the shoebill stork, which is exactly what I based my design of Winchester on LMAO

Watcher Jimmy Au where Jimmy has the ability to switch between dimensions (Empires, xlife, the life series, afterlife etc. are all different dimensions), but no matter where he goes, he always runs into a different version of Fwhip. Empires s1? Count fwhip. Empires s2? Goblin fwhip. Afterlife? Dragon fwhip. Man goes to the life games, dies, Fwhip is the grim reaper.

And every version of Fwhip he meets is more annoying, clingy and obnoxious than the last one. It absolutely drives Jimmy insane. Every night he prays to find a universe where there's no Fwhip. Just once. Just one day of peace and quiet.

What he doesn't know is that fwhip is also watcher- Oh yea and he's a shape shifter.

It's the same guy. He just keeps following Jimmy everywhere because he thinks it's funny. He has made it his main goal to fuck Jimmy up and ruin his life.

[or alternatively: they are all different people. But Grian is the little shit. The next time Jimmy travels to a different dimension Grian will take every single version of Fwhip that Jimmy has encountered and all put all of them in the same room with Jim. Just to watch them all fight eachother. Just to see who will win. It definitely won't be Jimmy.]

[more headcanons with Day! This time it's ✨Names✨]

I've been enjoying writing these sm

My favourite thing in story writing is making up these little details in universes, that don't really have an effect on the story or the characters, but just make the place feel complex, in depth and its complete own world. I have those for the Empires SMP too.

One of them is the idea that names work differently in that world than in ours. Instead of having a first in last name, peoples names exist out of a first (given) name, a second (chosen, descriptive) name and their place of residence/birth.

The given name is your first name your parents give you at birth. When you're very young you won't have a second name yet.

This is because you choose your second name yourself. This can either be like an actual second name (like my HC for Pix, it being Pixl "Winchester"), a nickname (Mythical "J. Sausage"), or a word that in describes them (Oli "The Champion", Fwhip "The Goblin").

And the third part of the name is your place of birth/residence (you can let it be changed later on, if you move to another empire, the empire stops existing or gets taken over by another one etc). But even here there is diversity. You either be from, of, or for an empire.

From is the standard. If you're from an empire that means you're a regular citizen. (Shelby "The Great" from The Evermoore).

If you're of an empire, this means you have some kind of leading role of the empire (Sherrif Jimmy "Sherrif" of Tumble Town)

The last one it for. This is a version of someones name only used when they're on duty for a empire that they're not from. A good example is Deputy F "The goblin" Whip For Tumble Town of Gobland.

Here are some names I created for the Empires:

Pixl "Winchester" for The ancient Capital

Fwhip "The Goblin" (for Tumble Town) of Gobland

Sherrif Jimmy "Sherrif" of Tumble Town

Prince Scott "Everywhere" of Chromia

False "Symmetry" from somewhere

Oli "The Champion" from Olipeligo from Afterlife

#I like the idea of Olis name just stacking up. #The more places Oli is from #the longer his name gets #Also I decided that pix is FOR the ancient Capital bc he's basically working for it #He doesn't have his own place bc his entire life is devoted to the capital #It doesn't matter to him where he's from #so he doesn't use it #Also Fwhip went for the chosen name ‟The Goblin‟ bc anytime someone would see or read his name they'd go #‟that's the guy who blew up his own kingdom hundreds of years ago ain't it?‟ #And every time he'd have to go "No. I am a person.
