Memories In The Stars - Revived- He Fell From The Heavens, Just Like Me
Ch. 1 [CURRENT]
Ch. 2
This is dedicated to @snapdragonfirefly @petrichormeraki and @bargledblocks
Grian would never forget the day Tommy first came to the server, into his life. To be fair, no one would forget such an event. Everyone was going about their days, nothing unusual happening. That was, until, the sky opened up. Everyone had gathered, looking up as the circular hole grew larger and larger. The black, beautiful abyss that resembled the End was visible, a quick wind surrounding it. Everyone was confused, everyone but Grian. The man in question was way too familiar with the endless hole, for it was the same one that took him away from his home. Panic filled him, fearing that it would take him away from another home. Instead, a person fell from it. The moment the body left the circle, it closed in an instant, leaving the server flabbergasted. It was only when the person got closer to the ground that they sprung into action. Grian extended his wings as the others pulled out their elytras, everyone rushing to catch the person. It was Mumbo who caught him, landing before everyone.
“What happened to him?”
The Hermits couldn’t help but show their distaste at the sight before them. What was obviously a teenage boy was filthy. With torn closed and dirty hair, he laid in pained silence. It was no question if they were going to help him, the question was when he would wake up. When he did awaken, hell broke loose. That is, for the poor boy. Panic filled him as he thrashed about, screaming and trying to hit whoever got too close. He acted completely feral, like a cornered animal with nowhere else to go. It was only when Jrumbot and Grumbot wandered into the room, little beeps of curiosity sounding off, that the boy calmed down. Blinking away the distressed tears from his eyes, he took a few breaths as he stared at the robot boys. Wiping away his tears with his torn sleeves, he gave a small smile.
“H-Hey, did I scare you guys? I’m sorry.”
His voice was horridly strained, a raspy sound with every word. It startled everyone, making them step back. The robot boys beeped to one another, before speeding off. No one said a word, unsure of how the boy would react. The fear in his eyes was momentarily overshadowed with a sense of kindness, which only returned when the robot children returned. Grumbot carried a mug over to the boy, Jrumbot following. The two ignored the worried mumbles from Mumbo, and the concerned look from Grian. Instead, they held out the mug to teen, a gentle, robotic-human mix voice coming from the smaller boy.
“Tea, for your throat.”
Nodding, the boy accepted the mug, thanking the boys. Satisfied, the robot boys stared, waiting for the teen to take a sip. He was hesitant, but he did drink. Lowering the mug, he gave the two a smile.
“It’s lovely, thank you.”
The two cheered to one another. Staying by the bed, the bot-brothers kept the mysterious boy company.
-
It’s been two months since Tommy fell from the sky. He kept to himself, only comfortable around the robot boys. Grumbot told his fathers that it was because he was an uncle, and the boys reminded him of them. No one knew where the boy ran off to, where he decided to set up his house after he left the shelters of the rest of the server. Today, however, was the first time Grian was going to see the kid. The boys had told him that Tommy needed a map of where everything was, so that he could gather some things. Just as he began to make a map key, he heard a knock at the door. Walking over, he opened it with a smile. There, hands awkwardly shoved in his pockets, was Tommy. He definitely looked cleaner, and his torn clothes were patched up. Nodding to Grian, the boy gave a small wave.
“Tommy! Come in! I was just making a more detailed map for you.”
The boy nodded, walking in. He looked around, curious, as he followed Grian to the table. Peering down, he studied the map as Grian made a few markings, blowing on the ink as he did so. Grabbing a different ink color, Grian spoke up as he added new markings.
“Is your head okay?”
“Why wouldn’t it be?”
“Well, I know that the weird void hole can have some minor side effects-Jesus!”
Grian yelped, nearly dropping his quill. Tommy had shot over to his side, getting way too close to the older man. Narrowing his eyes, the teen appeared confused and hopeful.
“What do you mean by that?”
“I never told you? I was sucked in and spat out by the same hole when I was a child.”
“What?”
Grian frowned as he peered over to Tommy. Nodding over to the map, he held it up as he held it out to the teen.
“How about I show you the shortcuts? I can tell you everything.”
And for the first time since his arrival, Tommy trusted someone new.

Everyone knows Grian can change his wings: chicken, parrot, dragon, etc. But there's another kind. He doesn't use it often, usually when he's building, but a few people have seen him with crow wings. This doesn't make sense of course, crows don't exist in most worlds. When asked about it, Grian just says it "reminds him of an old friend."
Philza wasn't just a friend though. Phil was the one who had taught Grian how to use the wings, when they appeared. The one who taught him how to shift the wings into something that worked better. The one who taught Grian to avoid death over and over again. Honestly, Philza was like a father figure to him.
They don't talk too much now, both wrapped up in their own projects. But occasionally, Grian will see a bird that shouldn't exist with a note tied to its leg sitting on his windowsill with an inquisitive expression, as if it too is hoping Philza and Grian will get together again.
(basically Dadza but with Grian)
they met before grian was ever called grian, when death was lurking in the back on his steps like a vengeful ghost (people forget that death takes many forms). philza taught him to survive, to live. 
when philza sent sent chat over to have a mini-family reunion, grian was delighted to see philza again it had been so long that philza picked up more kids on his journeys; a musician and a pair of brothers. 
grian finished all the builds he had around the server (his base was still unfinished but we are going to ignore that), stocked his shops with enough to last a few weeks (assigning iskall to keep track of stock), packed his shulkers with enough resources to last a siege and went over the central server hub to find the portal to philza’s hardcore world.

Trama Brothers
Word Count : 544
Fandom : Dream SMP, Hermitcraft
Warnings? Watchers, Cussing
The two brothers always got along, that was until the god and admin of the Dream SMP took the younger of the two, and left Grian all by himself. The bird never had any other kin or friends other then the ones he made on EVO and somehow made without Sam's knowledge in highschool. The watchers had tormented him as well. At least TomTom doesn't have to deal with this mess, Grian thought.
"Grian, would you like to join HermitCraft?" A random voice said, the server invite voice. "Sure!" Grian yelped eagerly. A new server he would be able to reek havoc in!
Grian was spawned into the world; immediately he was greeted with a parade of welcomes' and hellos'. The boy from the Redstone school was here too, "Hello! you must be.." The boy looked up, "Gr.. Grain..?" "Grian." He corrected the boy. "Ah, the one that was in witnesses protection?" "Hehe, yep, that's me."
"..And over here's Scars base!"
Grian almost forgot there was no one with his own blood on HermitCraft after a few seasons. "Some people are gonna be leaving HermitCraft, and joining the Dream SMP. Any volunteers?" Grian, being the only one with kin other then himself, eagerly replied with a "I would love to go to the Dream SMP!" "Oh, Gri.. Do you realize you can't come back for a few years?" Grian shrugged, his wings flapping in annoyance. "I don't care." "Well, they only needed one, so I guess this is goodbye?" "I'll come back with another member in tow. Don't worry."
A green man stood, with a blonde-haired child with gray wings in a choke-hold, looking at Grian. The boy tries to run in him, but his throat starts to bleed. Grian runs to the boy. "Greetings, Grian. Welcome to the Dream SMP. My name is Dream, and this is Tommy. He's trying to escape exi-" "Let. Him. Go. He's not trying to leave, he's trying to get to me, his brother." Dream lets Tommy go, and Tommy runs and cries into Grian's shirt. Grian picks up the taller, and cradles him. "Shhh, TomTom, I'm here. It's okay." Dream perks up. "Did you bring a watcher here?" Tommy perks up as well, fear in his eyes. "No.. Not again.. No, no watchers.. Please.." "No, I didn't bring one but I may attract one here, but I can deal with it." "My maps showing a.new admin and a watcher arrived. Did the old admin of EVO get here? I know that th-" "Yes, yes I did. Glad you know about my server." Tommy perks up, the fear of Grian being a watcher in his eyes. "Hey, hey, shh.. Don't worry, I won't let anyone turn you.. Shh.." "Grian, he's scared of your watcher form. He was turned by the admin of EVO." "No, no one was turned by me." Grian said, giving Dream a intense stare. "Wait.. Entirnal (En-turn-al; Low-Rank.watcher; OC) you ~~~HOLE!" Tommy perked up at that. "Gri.. Y-You never cuss.." "Y-Yes.. L-Lord Xqulea..?" A booming voice asked with a hint of fear. "Did you turn this child?" "Y-yes.." "This child is my little brother, Entirnal." "I-I'll go jump into the v-void.." "Good. if you survive, you'll help out with the nursery." "Y-yes s-sir.."

Some fun little doodles about baby Tommy & wilbur for my Desert Duo (eventual Scarian) superheroes comic. These kids are weirdly centric to the main plot.
More info + closeups below
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So here's the situation; Grian and Phil are brothers, Pearl & Jimmy are their cousins, Phil & Kristen are married, and their two sons are Wilbur and Tommy. Techno and Phil have become very close, but Techno is in denial and still refers to himself as "Phil's coworker."
All that being said,, try not to get too attached to Phil & Wilbur because they don't exactly stick around rip

jimmy solidarity is so intrinsically mind-meltingly confusing i love him dearly and i want to squish him with a passion and i want him to win (or lose) the next life series installment and here is why
(this is a very long insanity fuelled rant sorry but if you too are obsessed with jimmy solidarity and the concept of him actually not being pathetic and possibly winning heres the post for you)
jimmy solidarity is the kind of guy that literally has one gimmick and its being the most pathetic person on every server he has the pleasure of being on. he is the wet cat of a man that gets bullied and taken advantage of and nobody listens to him when he complains or objects to anything and yet not once has he truly gotten angry about it because hes just that nice of a guy. sort of.
cause i dont know about yall, but jimmy solidarity is kind of a bastard to me?? i will never forget him swindling joey out of 50% of his gunpowder profits (u think that wasnt swindling?? consider the following: he was earning NOTHING before joey started doing gunpowder on his own. NOTHING. and yet all he had to do was go over and put on his little sad pitiful pathetic song and dance and beg for a cut of joey's profits and suddenly: whats that? a net profit?) i will never forget the sheer amount of times this guy has had to hold himself back from straight up killing or aattacking someone; not because of morals or kindness or goodwill, but out of spite. but out of "i need to be better than this person it hurts them more if i dont kill them in cold blood (in my head)." i will never forget the amount of times he has just straight up punched someone in the nose (/rp) because they were being mildly annoying in the middle of a conversation.
im not saying hes a mastermind thats manipulating everyone by acting lame but also just a little bit?? minus the manipulation part?? hes proven on multiple occassions that he isnt like stupid idiot baby man. like yeah he can be a little incompetent sometimes but so can scar and by now we have ALL recognised that scar is terrifying and could raze the server by himself if he so pleased. i think if jimmy solidarity's main bit wasnt 'its funny when my friends bully me' he could genuinely cause some serious damage. i think the one time hes like ever made a trap on his own in the life series (the one in his doorway in last life) it worked flawlessly which. like. a trap. in the life series. working flawlessly. hello. sure it was basic but the fact that it worked without a hitch should alone be a testament to his ability
and if thats too obscure for u i mean we can step out of the life series for a little bit and just direct you to the fact that he isnt bad at minecraft like at all?? if u havent had the pleasure of watching his dodgebolt 1v3 i really reccomend it because youd THINK that someone bad at minecraft would be trembling in his boots and being in a total panic in that situation. hell even someone AMAZING at minecraft in that position (grian) literally sounded on the verge of throwing up for his entire time and thats FAIR. thats NORMAL.
all i am saying is that jimmy solidarity rolled up to this 1v3, said 'ive got this,' and took out two people in literally a second and a half. and then just chill-ly said 'ive got this' again. the only time he sounded mildly panicked was when tommy was making him dodge for a ridiculously long amount of time. as soon as tommy missed twice- or, rather, as soon as he dodged tommy's bolts twice, mine brother in craft took one shot after like five seconds and it was over. every SINGLE time i decide to watch a jimmy mcc pov im sitting there like. 'damn. DAMN?? JIMMY SOLIDARITY???? POPPING OFF???????" at like more than one point every single time. there are so many other places that hes demonstrated that he isnt bad at minecraft but its late/early and my memory doesnt work like it used to
which brings me back to the life series. since we all know that his 'being bullied hahaheeheehoohoo' bit is a bit (and hey. its a good bit. im not saying its a bad bit. i think its funny and i think it gets even funnier when jim starts fighting back. if youre gonna have a long-lasting gimmick thats a good one and jimmy does a swell job at making it entertaining and also making it clear that it isnt serious) this means that he can un-bit it for a bit. or at least peel away the bit a little.
im just saying jimmy solidarity has huge bastard energy and hes allowed to let it free in the life series!! he will burn things down he will cheer at traps he will fight for his friends he wil fight tooth and nail and claw for his life (he started last life with two lives. he never got any more. he only died due to a trap and due to murder like COME ON). if he wanted to burn down a base he could if he wanted to set up a huge trap PERSONALLY i think he could hell i think if he went up to someone in 1v1 combat he would at least have a chance (depending on the person of course). i mean look at his dodgebolt performance all the man needs is a bow and some distance and hes APPARENTLY set for life!!
ill say it
if jimmy solidarity played it smart, he could win the life series. easily.
jimmy is good at making alliances with people (coughs and kicks the southlands betrayal underneath the rug Ignore That One he was Desperate he started off with two lives remember honestly it was a justified move) hes a litlte bit silly stupid and oft acts impulsively but he can direct that impulsivity against one person and for another. if he got himself in a squad like he did in 3rd and last life and stopped playing up the pathetic bit and set a trap for once in his life (/endeared) he could actually get himself some kills. some Real kills, not accidentally blowing up ren and skizz with tnt.
i dont even care how he does it. i just want him to win. and if he doesnt win, i want him to come top five at LEAST before getting horrifically stabbed in the back by someone he had been running with for the whole series that is the ONLY loss i will accept and still be happy about. the man deserves a girlboss moment please we're approaching two years let the man LIVE

✨️Welcome to my Grian HeadCannon rant✨️
Hi, so I'm writing this on my phone while watching Hermitcraft. Lol. These are thoughts that have been bouncing around my head for a while.
-Grian's wings-
I think they shapshift. Think about it. We, the audience and the artists, are constantly making different variations of Grian. Either through the art itself or through headcannons. "Cannon" wise, we are the Watchers, and We gave Grian his wings.
There's Parrot Grian, which is pretty much default Grian at this point. Then there's white winged Grian, which could either be a dove or a chicken. Theres the desert birb Grian because of Life series Desert-Duo. There's the recent King Fisher Grian because of his fishing addiction this season. Then there's his Watcher form, which usually ends up being biblical accurate angel. Which I think the multiple wings are the different kinds of bird avian hybrid We make Grian into. (This will probably be the only "original" thought that's been going through my head. The rest of this is me compiling HCs I've heard/seen/watched and have been brimming full to talk and analyze, tho the analyzing will probably be a different post lol)
-Grian's Family-
There's a lot of HCs when it comes to family connects to Grian. There's YHS background that left him as an abandoned kid in Japan. Nadia225 gave Grian adopted Mafia parents, which is really cool, and you should watch their videos because they're really talented. And they gave Grian Bio-parents where one is a Water and the other is a Listener. And they're royalty. There's HCs of him being adopted by Philza (which honestly makes no sense to me because I think Grian is older than Philza. Character wise too.) And then He gets adopted by Xisuma. So parental figure-wise, there are a few to choose from.
Sibling wise... that's even bigger. There's the classic Jimmy and Pearl. There was one of Scar and Pearl being sibs to Grian. (The sibling dance animation that I can't remember the youtubers name to credit) There's Etho, through choice, with Nadia225 (or that's how I've interpreted their interactions lol). And then there's Martyn who gets thrown in, too. (But this just might be me.) Back to parent Philza, Grian gains Wilbur, Techno, Tommy, and occasionally Tubbo as younger brothers. I guess We see Grian as a big Family dude. (^○^)
Extended family tho... I have yet to see anything about aunts and uncles, not even grandparents, and my brain isn't coming up with anything.
Parent Grian always ends up adopting Tommy, but I think I've seen at least 2 fanfics where it was Tubbo instead.
-Watcher Relationships-
It's so weird. Like. Do We have a Feral Sibling relationship with Grian. Or are We mortal enemies. Is he traumatized by Us, or has he fully accepted being a Watcher. Like, I love the angst fics as much as the next Watcher, BUT PLEASE, I NEED MORE POSITIVE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN US, would love any fic recs anyone has, lol.
-Martyns cannon-
I still need to actually research this one, but at the end of Evo (Grian pov) it is /heavily/ implied that Grian joins the Watchers, seemingly by choice. Then I moved on to hermitcraft 6-9 and binge watched that. So if there's any Martyn Cannon that can be added on plus his "headcannons" feel free to do so!
Other Hermit HCs on the way. :]

Bitches be feeling parasocial about blorbo self loathing. It's me, I'm bitches. I am really amazed though as Grian's ability to be so out of the loop when it comes to fandom or creators just outside his sphere. Wilbur is well known for liking Grian's content and thinking very highly of him. Wilbur out right told about his skin. Yet Grian is still worried about it /lh.
Yeah! It's kinda funny. He's like "What you guys have to remember is you know Wilbur and you know him but me and Wilbur don't really know eachother." More like you don't know Wilbur very well but Wilbur would win a Grian themed game show.
"I've spoken with him a handful of times" If you go to his name MC you'll see his first skins are your skin recoloured. He corrected Scott on the amount of Hermitcraft seasons you've been in. He knows the plot of the mycelium resistance war. He knows you dislike using exclusively expensive blocks in builds, he built Dream SMP's New L'Manburg in the style of the Barge and is open about it, he considered using your balloon design in the Free Trail SMP, he know you're an introvert and really enjoys seeing you open to people, you are the only mcyt he watches besides Tommy because Tommy is not his younger brother only by law, he activity sought you out in MCCs prior just to look at you or try to prank you (backfired and he was the one pranked instead), he signed you on the team form in MCC Pride because he wanted to be with you, the book he made with Tommy might have two sentences about you (don't forget the two quotes from the MCC 15 that are in the quote book. Not sure of they're in the published version but they're in the original), he dedicates his good buildmart runs to you.
I. He doesn't know and I don't know how he managed to not notice. He thinks Wilbur just thinks he's a guy. How do we tell him that he's most likely one of the reasons Wilbur is a Minecraft YouTuber in the first place?

btw im Not Normal about how i think c!grian and tommy would get along. because we have the pre-collab assumptions and the collab interactions, which were with the cc rather than c, but is there nonetheless .
like i have talked about this LONGGG ago like pre-november 16th events, long ago, but . okay so i think they are ALMOST found-family insufferable brothers
like. Grian is a biiiit standoffish from Tommy, however he meets them in any au, but still does his Grian thing. there's three ways Grian usually is when it comes to big personality people. get along like a house fire while also torturing them lovingly (scar, bdubs), start war everyday of their life (doc), or are baffled of (joe) . i think he teeters between the second and third one with Tommy
but it's hard to say because of the BIG DIFFERENCE between different era of tommy. pre-exile and post-exile tommy are. big changes.
i think pre-exile tommy, would grate Grian a bit. The yelling, the stealing of riches, he's probably a bit in-your-face and gets into your personal space, something that i feel like can only be initiated by Grian for him to be comfortable with, and so on . Grian would one-up him, find small ways to make him pay back for damages and the like, maybe avoid.
post-exile tommy, Grian would egg on a bit. probably quite literally, give Tommy an inventory of eggs and send him on a task to devourer someone's base in chickens. Tommy would be more standoffish, a lot more tired, paranoid, hoarding small things and hiding in mines. any base he would have would probably be some hole in the wall he found in a corner of a giant megabase. Grian would give him chests of iron axes, pickaxes, etc, that he'd collect from leveling up villagers. Tommy would never use them, but he'd appreciate it.
i loveee Grian a lot but overall, BUT since it's me, and im . ill . and am considering the overall lore of Grian's character through multiple series, i don't think my interpretation of Grian would really be the main pillar of support for Tommy. they're to similar, yet clashing if considering yhs-evo-hc history for c!Grian, i think he would be reminded WAY to much of himself if he saw post-exile Tommy. He'd be alarmed and off-putted by pre-exile Tommy in the beginning, but would be able to adapt to him and see the soft, fun and supportive nature of him. post-exile he could get along with and care about, but i don't think could be the one to help him .
is this anything

Memories In The Stars - Revived - Birds Of A Feather
Ch. 1
Ch. 2 [CURRENT]
Ch. 3
Tommy was hesitant to grab the elytra from Grian. Wanting to keep the boy comfortable and sane, he was ready to retract the offer, only to be startled by Tommy’s quick movement. Tommy snatched the elytra, slipping it on. Pressing his lips together, a glassy look covered his face as he nodded. Grasping the map, he nodded over to Grian.
“Well? Let’s get going.”
Grian led the way, his wings ready to take flight. Turning to the teen, he gave a small smile.
“Need some tips on how to-“
Tommy didn’t waste any time staying on the ground. Grian was baffled by how quick Tommy was to take to the air. Letting out a little laugh, Grian took off, catching up to the teen.
“You seem knowledgeable. Did you have an elytra back home?”
Tommy went rigid at the word “home”, momentarily throwing him off. Shaking his head as he began to glide to the ground, he came to a walking stop as he frowned.
“No, the End’s entrances were destroyed. Besides, no one in that server knows what the End is.”
“No End? That’s weird given that you seem to fly well.”
“This isn’t flying.”
Grian was taken aback at Tommy’s bluntness. The boy in question stared at Grian, a longing look on his face. It was only when Tommy played with the Elytra binding that Grian realized that he wasn’t looking at him, but at his wings. Eyes widening with realization, Grian turned back to Tommy, who appeared misty eyed. Trying to think of a way to comfort the kid, Grian couldn’t help but notice something no one saw beforehand: Tommy’s eyes were multiple shades of blue, all at once. If you looked close enough, it was almost like the colors were moving. It was only when Tommy sniffled, and rubbed his face that Grian snapped out of it. Shaking his head, Grian felt his own wings twitch as he nodded to Tommy.
“What color were they?”
Tommy looked up, confused. Grian just smiled, motioning to his own wings.
“I’m talking about your wings, kid. What color were they?”
“I’m not a kid.”
Grian snorted at the blunt statement, Tommy’s sad eyes replaced with feigned annoyance.  He ran a hand through his hair, which was getting longer and disheveled.
“I had white wings, with a red tint.”
“Almost like your shirt!”
“Bwahahaha!”
Tommy erupted into a fit of laughter, finding amusement in Grian’s little excited look as he pointed to the boy’s shirt. Grian’s excitement grew into genuine joy, laughing happily that Tommy was laughing. The two took a moment to calm down. Humming, Grian dug out some fireworks from his inventory. Tommy’s laughter came to an abrupt stop as Grian held the fireworks out to him.
“Tommy? What’s wrong?”
Tommy stuttered out nonsense, not making any sense.
“Tommy, it’s just fireworks. What is it?”
Putting away the fireworks, Grian went to grab Tommy, only to stop himself. Shaking his head, he tried to help the kid calm down. After a moment, Tommy just nodded.
“Yeah, sorry about that, Big Man. It’s just that I don’t think I recovered from my last interaction with fireworks. I just keep remembering the noise.”
“Hey, it’s fine. You don’t have to apologize, Tommy. Hey, tell you what, let’s explore the map another day, okay? Before then, I’ll make some silent fireworks.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, anything to help you feel more comfortable.”
With that, Grian and Tommy retreated back into the avian’s house.

“Yeah” - hermit!tommy
hermit Tommy blip because someone told me I did a good job on my last one. This is where Tommy may or may not get another parent, also he owns a flower shop because I said so. Also the meaning of the flowers are all at the very end I used google so if I got something wrong please tell me. Also ps I did do a little something for technoblade here, and he is briefly mentioned. Also remember this is cannon Tommy from the dream smp not any other series, and the relationship portrayed isn’t how I think real life Tommy and techno saw each other. Just wanted to make that clear. Also Tommy in his mind refers to grian as dad and if you want to read how I imagine that happen go to my page it’s called “The reason Tommy didn’t take his pain meds” it’s a bit darker than this one, but go read it it’s good.
Tommy sits on the on top of the flower shop he created, in the shopping district of Hermitcraft. He holds a small arrangement of flowers in one hand. Pink Carnations, they reminded him of his brother, technos, a friend’s acquaintance hair. The stories he told and the way he told him. The way he could use a sword, it was like it was a dance. Though the acquaintance isn’t here now, he wouldn’t even talk to Tommy in his dreams. He puts it in the back of his mind to make another arrangement for later. One that holds Acanthus, Pink Carnations, Bay tree, maybe he could add Valerian like he had with the arrangement that he is holding. He looks at the white Valerian, it reminded him of the white streak that used to be mixed in with his blonde hair, he remembers the time that the hermits offered to dye his hair. He remembered how happy he was when the streak was finally gone. He remembers the similar purple streak that Grian covered up. It reminded him of the purple Columbine flower that sits in the arrangement he’s holding. He looks at his arrangement as a whole the Pink carnation, purple Columbine, the Valerian, with the surrounding green of Ivy, and Basil. Tommy sits there zoning out thinking about the past, for a while, time move on as the sun rises over the shops, he hears the rockets and elytras going. He doesn’t flinch like he used to. 
“Tommy? Are you okay?” Asks a the familiar warm voice of scar, Tommy thinks Tubbo would have loved to have met him, they would have gotten along well.
“Tommy, how long have you been there?” A different voice asks. No Tubbo would have liked him more, Tommy thinks, he would have loved to rant about his redstone contraptions. Hell I think he’d never stop talking, me and dad (Grian) would have to pull Tubbo and Mumbo apart so they shut up.
“Tommy?” The voice of a father, or atleast who he considers to be a father calls out. 
“Yeah?” Tommy says turning to Grian, snapping himself out of his day dreaming. 
“You are tearing up, and you weren’t responding. Are you okay? I know it’s hard we can go back and tell the others to wait we don’t have to have a party if you’re not okay. We can do it tomorrow instead.” Worry is strong in Grians voice as he talks. 
“I’m good, just… remembering the past. Saying goodbye” Tommy says looking at the arrangement in his hand. He placed them down. 
“Pink carnation, purple Columbine, Valerian, Ivy, and Basil” say scar looking at the arrangement, there’s pity and comfort in his eyes.
“Yeah,” Tommy mumbles as he looks at it.
“Do you want a hug.” Asks scar. It’s weird, thinks Tommy, to be so venerable, he’s never gotten a hug from scar. Grian once ranted about how nice his hugs were and how even though scars usually in his wheelchair, scar would sometimes use the walking device that doc made for him, Tubbo would love to meet doc too. Grian told the story of how the very first time Scar got the device he went around and give proper hugs to everyone on the server who wanted one.
“Yeah.” Tommy says accepting the hug from scar. It’s warm and… homey, it reminds him of the cabin he grew up in, and how when it got cold him and his brothers would come together in a big group hug near the fireplace to get warm. 
Bonus  
After Tommy let’s go of scar he swears he sees an achievement pop up “new parent unlocked.” Tommy quickly rubs his eyes, and it’s gone. Maybe it was just him imagining things
uncoded things:
So the arrangement that Tommy is holding is supposed to mean something along the lines of “I’ll never forget you but I’m ready to move on from our friendship and I wish you well.” The Pink carnation meaning I will never forget you. Purple Columbine meaning Resolution. Valerian meaning Readiness. Ivy meaning Affection, Friendship, Fidelity. And finally Basil meaning Good wishes. this is for kinda the past of the dream smp Tommy moving on. The party that is mentioned is the one year of Tommy being on Hermitcraft. The second one was kinda an homage to technoblade with the Acanthus, Pink Carnations, Bay tree, and Valerian. Acanthus meaning The fine art, Artifice kinda referencing the Greek mythology that techno is known for. Pink carnation again meaning I will never forget you. Valerian meaning Readiness but this time more for the readiness that techno held both as a character but also a person. And finally Bay tree which represents glory.

[Brothers au] Grian eventually goes back to hermitcraft, he leaves behind a portal, a connection to the world he thinks will be home for a long while.
Tommy visits the most, surprisingly, despite having had a hard time with his uncle in the past, their relationship has healed over time.
It's Phil who finds the ruins though, after the moon falls, he's more bothered by the destruction of such an elaborate project than the lack of people in the world and after lady death herself confirms his brother hasn't passed through her domain, he shrugs it off, they're gods, things like this happen, grian will turn up when he feels like it.
----
Grian finds himself in a familiar world, on his left wrist a countdown, on his right, a reminder of the danger he faces.
When he dies, he pulls himself back, refuses to let go, but death's domain isn't kind, even when family is involved, it won't protect him from punishment, and they take a toll, his wings, just recently recovered taken, not even damaged, just, gone.
By the time he dies a second time, he welcomes it. Grian won't go down without a fight, but after months in a void the- well everything, is.
Except grian dies and he doesn't go home, he's in their hands again, and his soul is linked with scar's, who he just saw die to the smallest mistake.
--------
Of course, it's Kristin who first hears about him, hard to miss him when it's your job to look after the deceased.
When she mentions it to Phil, he doesn't think much of it, he must be back in hermitcraft, he'll open a portal when he's ready. (He won't, he can't, not from outside dsmp)
Tommy hears it and immediately assumes watchers are involved. He convinces technoblade somehow to get a portal to him. But god magic is messy and complicated, and maybe their connection is stronger than anyone thought. The rift is the result.
If Tommy and Techno walk through it and realise what they've caused, well, it's only fair they fix their mistakes.
Sending this in even though it's not fully developed because theres some lore coming out today lol.
grian is an old soul, destined to die over and over and over. acting like a puppet in the hands of power unable to look beyond the strings. 
---
magic is already finicky enough for experienced users (everyone points to the tragedy of the time traveler) but for beginners it was like pointing a loaded gun into the woods and hoping that it killed something. 
techno and tommy stepped into the world of upside down.

PART 1- Hermitcraft/ DSMP/ Life Series crossover AU
as excited as I am to write this, I’m a little terrified XD. some of it isn’t very good, but I hope you at least enjoy the character dynamics! there are SO MANY CHARACTERS- there has to be a p2 TvT
for @barley-hopkins
happy reading! ~ It’s been six months since a green portal opened up in the sky of Hermitcraft and dumped the entire Dream SMP into their world.
At first, things were hectic. Thankfully, Dream didn’t have any weapons… unfortunately, neither did anyone else. The Hermits, well along in their builds and season, weren’t quite sure what to do with a bunch of warcrime-committing psychopaths.
X and Tango’s rushed solution? Babysitting.
Every Hermit was assigned an SMP member or two, and they were allowed to do whatever necessary to keep them in check. They were only allowed to get materials if their Hermit allowed them, for the sake of everyone’s safety, until they could figure out how to get everyone back where they belonged- because sadly, as soon as the last SMP member hit the ground, the portal disappeared.
Some of the SMP/ Hermit pairings looked weird, but they really all made sense. Maybe it was rushed, but X wasn’t stupid. Really there were only a couple questionable ones.
It wasn’t like they were all complete strangers. MCC was obviously a thing, Puffy and Zed are siblings, Jevin and Charlie as well, Doc and Sam are cousins.
Still. There were struggles.
~
“Tommy, toss me that-?”
Mumbo was clocked in the head by a flying comparator, luckily not falling off his scaffolding. He did not catch the block.
Tommy, from the ground, was laughing. Hard. He hadn’t exactly meant to hit his mentor… but he wasn’t complaining about it either.
“Thomas,” Mumbo huffed, rubbing his head. “Thank you for guessing, very good job, but hand it to me this time, please.”
Tommy, still giggling, got up from where he was sitting on a chest and went to retrieve the dropped block.
Of all the groups, Tommy and Mumbo had taken some of the longest to warm up to each other at first. Well, at least Mumbo did- Tommy still saw him as an older brother from the one time they met, but Mumbo wasn’t exactly sure what to do with a raccoon gremlin child who was also a traumatized war veteran and has died several times.
Still, Mumbo warmed up to him. He could tell that for the most part Tommy meant well, and he was even able to coach some of the swearing and arsonist tendencies out of him.
It was also a plus that, because Philza was the only one the Hermits trusted, he flew around the server to check up on people and give advice to their poor Hermits. Tommy loved Phil (Phil was his dad, after all), and Phil was able to show Mumbo what not to do to trigger Tommy’s PTSD too badly.
Mumbo was still pretty much useless with panic attacks, but he’s at least good at distracting him. Plus he was very pleased to admit Tommy’s stressful/ depressed days were much fewer and farther between than the beginning of their interactions. Mumbo hoped he was contributing to that, but it might have just been the safe and (relatively) calm vibe of Hermitcraft.
He did not, however, trust Tommy enough to let him gather much more than iron armor and the blocks he wanted for his house, which Mumbo had to approve first. Maybe he was starting to like him, but that didn’t mean he was willing to get his head lopped off on accident.
Tommy retrieved the comparator and climbed up the scaffolding beside Mumbo. “Whatcha workin on, Big Man?” he asked, blue eyes wide and curious. Despite Mumbo’s best attempts, Tommy still couldn’t do redstone for shit.
Mumbo grinned, snapping the block into place. “A prank for our friend Grian.”
“Ohh, that’s why we’re over at his place,” Tommy said, sitting down on the scaffolding. Mumbo noticed out of the corner of his eye that the kid had chosen to sit worryingly close to the edge, but he tried to dismiss it.
“Mhmmm,” he hummed absently. There was a moment of silence as Tommy watched him work, but his nerves got the better of him. “You might want to step away from that edge, yeah?” he tried. It was windy and he’d hate for something to happen- no SMP members but Phil were allowed elytras.
Tommy’s bright smile faded, and his eyes dimmed. He glanced down at the ground, far below, fingers tapping methodically right on the border.
He shrugged. “I’m fine. I like high-up places.”
Mumbo sighed, setting down his materials and joining Tommy on the floor. He looked nervous, like he was afraid Mumbo might be mad or even attack him.
Phil had told him about this. More times than anyone would like, Tommy had spoken aloud about or even attempted to end himself on the SMP. Mumbo had hoped that hadn’t carried through to Hermitcraft, but he unfortunately had been proven wrong very quickly.
“Tommy,” he said, trying to make his voice sound as calm as possible. “Come sit in front of me. Away from the edge.”
Tommy hesitated, but scooted over to sit cross-legged in front of Mumbo, mirroring him. He pulled his hands into the sleeves of his blue sweater nervously.
Mumbo smiled, recalling what Phil had told him to do at times like these. “Can you tell me about the SMP?”
Tommy’s face darkened considerably, and he twitched as if remembering being shot in the chest from the revolution. Or maybe he was recalling trying to save Tubbo from Dream. Maybe even imagining the last time he’d died, in that cell…
“Tommy,” Mumbo whispered, poking him in the knee. “I only want the good stuff. Singing with Wil and the other L’manburgians outside the van. Training with Techno and taking naps on Steve. Exploring with Tubbo. Tell me what you love about your home.”
Tommy came back to reality, remembering where he was, that he was safe. He smiled at the memories, although he wasn’t sure how Mumbo knew all that.
The two of them ended up sitting on that scaffolding for hours, exchanging stories. Their prank was ruined when Grian and Wilbur discovered the half-finished trap and its culprits, but none of them really minded.
All Mumbo cared about was making sure Tommy knew he was safe. Killing for objects and possessions was a thing he’d never have to do again; he’d make sure of it.
~ If anyone could keep Dream himself out of trouble, it was his rival admin.
Yeah, X took Dream. It wasn’t like he wanted to, it’s more like he didn’t want to hand that responsibility to anyone else.
For a while, they barely spoke to each other. Dream had to follow X around the whole time, but X was too nervous to do anything important, so… they were kind of stuck.
But X, being that ever-polite man he is, offered to help Dream build his first house. They couldn’t fly anywhere and they obviously couldn’t be separated, so that meant walking everywhere.
That also meant becoming the strangest pair of friends in… well, probably ever.
That, however, did not come easy.
“Dream!” How X managed to lose the most dangerous man on the server was beyond him, and while he trusted Dream at least a little by this point… he had to admit he was a little bit nervous.
Right as he ducked under a tree to check the forest, someone dropped right on top of him, flattening him to the ground.
Dream’s playful laugh filled the clearing.
“Dream-“ X wheezed, managing to roll over even with the other admin on his chest and pushing uselessly at his legs. “Off. You scared me!”
“I thought you were a better babysitter than this, Zuma,” Dream teased, standing and offering X a hand. He hauled him to his feet, only just managing to contain his laughter.
X dusted himself off with a huff. “I thought I didn’t need to anymore,” he grumbled. “It’s time for lunch.”
“Oooo, sweet!” Dream skipped off towards his little cave/ hut that he and X had spent days perfecting. It was half in-half out of the water, and full of green froglights. Dream was very proud of it.
Xisuma went after his friend with an affectionate sigh. Since the landing, it was a tradition between the two of them (at first forced upon Dream by X, but now it’s more enjoyable) that they’d have lunch every day together- food they prepared together, tea, and meditation. Sometimes other groups joined them.
It was to teach Dream to use his hands and mind for something that wasn’t malicious, although X didn’t tell him that.
Dream was already rummaging through his and X’s joint kitchen by the time he got there, sporting a neon green apron with flower patterns on it.
“Whaddaya think, X?” Dream said cheerfully as X removed his gloves to wash his hands. “I personally am leaning towards mac and cheese, but maybe you’re willing to put forth more effort than that.”
X shrugged. “Sure. I’ll start on the tea. Dandelion again?”
“You know it.”
The one thing Xisuma and Dream could successfully collaborate on is food. Building together was decent enough and caving is always an absolute disaster, but cooking they can both do easy- especially when they’re working together.
“So,” X hummed as they sat down at their coffee table, cross-legged on a couple of pillows on the floor. “Topic for today: what was the number one thing you hated about the SMP, so we can never do that here. Not a person. A habit you all had.”
Dream paused shoveling food into his mouth to think. If people were ruled out…
“Maybe…” He trailed off, trying to think of how to phrase it. X sipped his tea patiently- sometimes it took a moment to answer. “We fought. All the time. Which is fine, it was fun sometimes, but… it was usually over possessions. Land, and… discs.” Even after all this time, Dream still got twitchy when talking about Tommy’s discs. “I just don’t want to do that anymore, I guess. I lose people over it, and that’s more important,” he finished.
Xisuma thought on his words for a moment, methodically stirring his macaroni. “Do you think it matters less here?” he asked.
Dream nodded aggressively, nearly dropping his mug.
“Good.” X smiled genuinely, and Dream grinned back. “Don’t worry, friend. You’ll never have to fight over something as dumb as one item ever again.”
~ Maybe putting nine people, three poly relationships, in one place was a terrible idea. It was like the weirdest triple date in history… especially because they weren’t doing normal ‘date’ things.
They were pranking Docm77 and Technoblade.
”How are the creepers coming along?” Tango whispered into his communicator, where the rest of the group was on call. He and his SMPers, Sapnap and Sam, were crouched on a ridge near Doc’s base, keeping watch.
From one of the other ends, Impulse replied. “Karl’s almost blown himself up ten times, but Ponk is actually doing decent.”
“I’m doing more than decent, thank you!” Ponk suddenly interjected. Somewhere in the background, an explosion and high-pitched scream went off, followed by Impulse’s familiar laughter. “Karl!”
“Don’t kill my boyfriend,” Quackity added, joining the call.
“Nobody’s boyfriends are being killed,” Zed assured. “Q and Foolish and I just finished the gift box. Any sign of them?”
Sam checked his spyglass again. “Doc and Techno are farming tridents, it looks like. I’m a little scared.”
“I’m also scared. We’re pranking the man who has the dragon on a leash right now,” Sapnap whispered harshly.
Tango grinned. “Part of the fun. Might steal her later, too.”
“Bad plan,” Impulse and Zed deadpanned simultaneously. The three of them descended into some sort of argument about good plans, the other six forced to listen.
A gift box, with a bow and everything, filled with creepers. Not terribly original, but still hilarious, in Tango’s opinion.
It was a plus because, since team ZIT all had to take two people, they had each other to help manage them all for a few hours. And the other people dating each other got to hang out, which was more than Puffy and Niki could say for themselves recently.
When do you think they’ll be done? Sapnap and Karl’s communicators went off from a message from Big Q.
Sap covertly glanced at Tango, who was furiously whispering at his boyfriends that he makes the best plans. I’d say a while. Think we’ll get busted?
Techno would totally kill us for this, right? Karl asked. He was conveniently hiding in a tree from the six creepers aggro’ed on him, Ponk laughing at him from below and not helping in the slightest. Impulse was too busy laughing at his partners’ bickering to pay much attention.
Quackity grinned and waved at the tree he knew Sapnap was perched in from his place on top of the fake present. Zed was also whisper-shouting into his communicator, but Foolish was messaging on his as well with a dopey smile.
They argue worse than us, he messaged Sam and Ponk.
It’s cute. I think they’ll get married one day, Sam immediately replied. I’m so bored. Maybe we can convince them to do a sleepover tonight.
Will they say yes if I let Karl get decimated by these ten creepers? Ponk messaged. Sam and Foolish both giggled at that one.
Hopefully.
Maybe it’ll be a plus.
Unbeknownst to them all, Techno and Doc were well aware of their presence and plan. Gathering tridents was simply a cover-up for their own plan- and it seemed to be working.
“Are they still up in that damn tree?” Doc mused, hacking down a drowned.
Techno stabbed another with the (technically forbidden) borrowed sword Doc let him use. “Yeah, I can hear them arguing from here. What exactly are they trying to accomplish?”
Doc pointed at the present, which was barely visible from where they were, the three standing on top of it, and three more just emerging from the forest with an army of creepers.
Techno snorted, tossing a damaged trident back into the ocean to despawn. “Idiots. That’s a bad trap.”
“Bad stealth mission,” Doc agreed.
The two of them had gotten along pretty well from the beginning, pretty much unsurprisingly. Techno had taken an interest to the way Doc viewed laws of physics more as suggestions, and Doc was thrilled to be working with an actual PVP and war god.
Doc had listened to Techno’s stories about the SMP- apparently, disappearing into the mountains with your dogs and polar bears and father is an invitation to fuck with you. Thankfully, Techno just seemed to want away from all that- not to even the score. That made him easy to trust.
Doc let Techno do whatever he wanted with the promise that if he did anything wrong, he’d be tossed into whatever prison Doc could come up with- and that wasn’t an inviting concept.
“They’re moving, they’re moving!” Techno whispered excitedly. The three that had been spying on them through the trees took off towards the present, where the other six had gathered with all the creepers evidently inside.
He and Doc snuck around to a blindside. None of them noticed.
Techno lit a piece of TNT while Doc cut a hole in the wall. They tossed it in and ran- five seconds later, nine death messages filled the chat, followed by Hermits and others asking what happened in a panic.
The culprits, well, they were congratulating themselves on a foiled plan and extra kill points. They promptly went off to find a polar bear that could be Steve 2, unconcerned with the crater and half blown-up present box on their property.
Tango, Sapnap, and Sam had ended back at their base, thankfully. Zed, Quackity, and Foolish spawned where Zed’s last challenge had been, and Impulse and Ponk and Karl had been the unluckiest- a respawn anchor on the Nether roof.
They were all furiously messaging each other, asking who had set off the TNT… and the rest of the server had some pretty good entertainment by that for the rest of the night.
~ When Etho found Ranboo, he was sitting on the ground, playing with a sand miniblock and talking to his “chat”. Etho still wasn’t really sure what that was, but Ranboo assured him it was harmless.
So was the kid, honestly. Etho had chosen him because he could tell they gave off similar vibes- quiet, funky hair, doesn’t love people all that much aside from one sunshiny short brunet.
He’d been right, of course. Ranboo was chill, although those purple particles floating around and talking to him all the time were admittedly a bit nerve-wracking.
“Hey, Boo Boy,” Etho hummed, leaning against the doorframe.
Ranboo sat right in the middle of the glass atop the moss farm, his usual cloud of particles buzzing about the room. Maybe Etho was crazy, but he thought the nearest one to him was screaming something like “LORE??” in a tiny, high-pitched voice.
Ranboo didn’t exactly… have a mouth, but his eyes scrunched as if he were smiling. “Hey, Etho!”
“Hi.” Etho couldn’t stop his own smile from spreading beneath his mask. “Bdubs and Purpled wanna go caving. How does that sound?”
“Sure!” Ranboo popped up, scattering a cloud of particles that almost sounded like they were laughing.
There weren’t many people on the- well, honestly either- server that were taller than Etho. X, Doc, and Technoblade. And Ranboo. Which was baffling although not surprising (he is half Enderman after all), if only for the fact that he’s a kid. 18. Literally what. Kids shouldn’t be allowed to be taller than immortal people.
But that’s okay. Etho builds his doorways tall anyways, but Bdubs’ section of the house was a bit more challenging.
“ETHOOO! SAVE ME FROM THE CHILD!”
Speak of the devil, a familiar voice came screeching down the stairwell and someone rammed into Etho’s back. He knew who it was without having to turn around, although he wasn’t sure how concerned he should be. Bdubs once hid behind Etho for four hours because his SMP member, Purpled, had parked his alien spaceship over the Monolith and Bdubs didn’t want to be abducted. He’d once hid for five after Purpled put a purple bed in an otherwise all-pink room. Etho wasn’t sure where on the threat scale they were at today.
“YOU CAN’T ESCAPE ME, MOSSY BOY! I’VE GOT SHEARS AND I WILL STEAL YOUR TINY MYSTERY FLOWERS IF IT’S THE LAST THING I DO!”
“Help,” Bdubs begged, hugging Etho around the waist. Ah yes, Glare blooms. Apparently, Purpled needed to steal them.
Ranboo peeked over curiously, although he was mostly occupied with his chat, which had turned rainbow colors- he’d explained to Etho that those were ‘emotes’.
The alien himself nearly fell down the stairs after Bdubs in his haste, nearly running straight into Etho shears-first. Etho caught him.
“Hey, Purpled.” he raised an eyebrow as Purpled hid the shears behind his back and grinned nervously. “Tormenting a Hermit? Do we need to get X?”
Purpled’s smile dropped. “No,” he huffed. Etho held out his hand, and he dropped the shears there in defeat.
“I told you, I’m a Glare!” Bdubs said indignantly, still buried in Etho’s side. “They’re just flowers! And they hurt if you cut them off improperly, so why don’t you-“
“You’re a Glare? Like a Moonbloom?” Ranboo interjected as Purpled and Bdubs stuck their tongues out at each other. “My husband is a Moonbloom!”
“Very nice, Ranboo,” Etho sighed, tucking the shears into his inventory.
So Bdubs and Purpled hadn’t quite figured out how to get along all that great. Not every pair could be as perfect as Etho and Ranboo, but they did have their moments. Whenever Purpled got itchy about building for too long because that’s all he did working at Las Nevadas, Bdubs was always happy to take him somewhere else to destress. In return, Purpled was sometimes less stubborn about bedtimes. Sometimes.
And then there was Etho and Ranboo, who worked in a way that didn’t need revision. Ranboo was happy to lay around and watch Etho work, asking the occasional question, and Etho sometimes took him to hang out with Tubbo and Scar- he really liked Jellie. When Ranboo had panic attacks or dissociated, Etho was surprisingly good at just… sitting with him and letting the kid exist in such a concrete presence. It’s proven to work pretty well.
All in all, though, Hermits on their own are terrible for caving. SMP members made things so much more… interesting.
“We’d better get going,” Etho sighed. “Ranboo, grab the torches on your right, yeah?”
“Okay!” he chirped, opening the chest and leaning in.
Bdubs unstuck himself from Etho’s side, but didn’t let go of his hand.
“Thanks for the help, sweetheart,” he grinned, leaning in. “You’re my hero.”
Etho huffed out a laugh, securing his mask so Bdubs wouldn’t get any ideas. “There are kids in the room, sweetheart,” he teased.
“Yuck,” Purpled deadpanned to prove his point, Ranboo sidling up next to him.
Bdubs blew a raspberry at him. “I can be mushy with my boyfriend! Leave us alone!”
“They can’t do that, love,” Etho whispered. “We’re stuck together, remember?”
Bdubs pouted. “Boring. Maybe after they go to bed.”
“You literally go to bed before any of us.”
“Whose side are you on?”
~ Aside from Phil, there was one other person the Hermits nearly completely trusted: Captain Puffy.
She was allowed whatever gear she wanted, including an elytra. Between her and Phil, it was like the two parents of their server were able to help out the Hermits whenever they needed.
However, she had a murder on record. Therefore, she still needed a babysitter.
Who volunteered? Well. He’s arguably the dad of his own server, so it really made sense.
“Puffy!” Sometimes Keralis called her other names like Poof or Fluffy, affectionately of course, but today it looked like he was sticking to the real thing.
He hopped onto the mini pirate ship she’d built in the river just below his starter place, and it rocked precariously.
Puffy poked her head up from below. “Hey, Keralis! What’s up?”
Keralis clung to the mast, waiting for the ship to stop moving. “Stressy asked if you would like to see Niki and George. I need to go over there for some things anyways.”
“Sure!” Puffy never missed the opportunity to see her girlfriend. Unfortunately it didn’t happen very often- several times she’d sulked about it not being fair how her brother got both his boyfriends AND babysat people in a relationship together. Zed only laughed, which had earned him an elbow to the ribs.
So Puffy and Keralis took off towards Stress’s place. It was balanced a little precariously atop a cliffside, but it wasn’t too high up. Puffy thought it was adorable how Niki and George had built little teacup houses to match Stress’s pot.
“Stressy!” Keralis sang as soon as they touched down. Puffy let him go hang out with Stress as she went to go find her people.
George and Niki were a little deeper into the forest, patching up what looked like unfortunate creeper accidents.
Well, Niki was working. George was asleep under a mushroom, leaning against the stem with his sunglasses over his eyes.
“Morgenliebe!” Niki called as soon as she noticed Puffy. “What are you doing over here?”
“I wanted to see you,” Puffy grinned, pulling her in. Niki had to stand on her toes to peck her on the cheek.
It was mornings like these, where the people from the Dream SMP could forget about the wars and death and life system, that everyone enjoyed the most- even the Hermits, Keralis had once told her.
It had been months. It was honestly doubtful by this point that they’d get back to their own server, especially because no one was trying to get that to happen.
Death counts, killing for sport, stupid object-possessive fights- all that was in the past.
The SMPers were supposed to heal with the Hermits, make genuine friends, fix broken relationships. They’d eventually move away from the Hermits, a little south, build their own village.
But it doesn’t work like that; it never has. Good things don’t last.
Along with several Hermits, more than half the people from the SMP were once again sucked out of the life they’d become used to and dumped into a new place. This time, it wasn’t a good one.
Etho.
Tango.
Bdubs.
Dream.
Tommy.
Puffy.
Scar.
Niki.
Ren.
Cleo.
Sam.
Ponk.
Grian.
“Welcome to 3rd life: an experimental hardcore server. You have three lives. Good luck.”

POST ABOUT THE GODS AU I CANT CARRY THIS BURDEN ALONE
you would be the one to ask 💀 I've been tormenting you for YEARS with this au
okay so since this is going to be a massive word vomit post ill put it under a cut after I give a quick summary of the basic premise
so there is a family of gods who are known to be cruel. who have a hatred for all mortals and will use them for their own entertainment as some sort of sick punishment for the wrongs of the past
philza, the God of death, and his sons techno, wilbur, grian (you can ask about this LATER), and tommy. who are the gods of blood, madness, tragedy, and chaos respectively
now to give a brief summary up to right before purgatory (I will be skipping over the grian stuff but if you want to know more about that I will explain) meaning I'm not going into full detail, because if I did this post would be a novel
*disclaimer!!!!!! I HATE dream but unfortunately he is a big villain in this au so he is gonna get mentioned just be aware that he will always be the most vile person in any au I make
DSMP
SO it all starts when wilbur gets bored of his challenges (the 100 player challenges) and decides he wants to do something new. he takes tommy and they disguse themselves as mortals and go to the land of dsmp to spread their madness and chaos there
tommy pretended to befriend tubbo because he found him interesting and then the three of them created l'manburg. tubbo doing it for a place to be free and the two gods doing it to see how other residents would react
the revolution was exactly what they wanted, beautifully chaotic and allowed wilbur to let his madness infect everyone who opposed l'manburg
erets betrayal wasn't planned but it was wonderfully entertaining for the gods watching the revolutionaries get beaten over and over just to keep getting back up
in the end tommy makes the deal to trade his disc's for independence because he and wilbur had already planned an election
and the elections go exactly as planned with the betrayal of schlatt being planned since the beginning. you see schlatt was someone wilbur had previously turned mad and he knew exactly what would happen if he brought him in
in Pogtopia is where things start to go off track, because tommy starts to realize that maybe his friendship with tubbo isn't just pretend and he starts trying to convince wilbur that blowing up l'manburg won't be as entertaining and leaving it be (it doesn't work)
techno just makes things more complicated because he wants blood to spill, and to help his brothers with their little game
the red festival and tubbos execution creates a conflict between techno and tommy, and wilbur just thinks it's because tommy wanted to mess with tubbo more. to settle this argument they fight in the pit
November 16th is when everything goes ary. at first everything is according to plan, techno "betrays" them, wilbur blows up the country, phil is waiting in the wings to collect all the souls. but then something unexpected happens, tommy doesn't go through with his part of the plan and refuses to kill tubbo
the others have to improvise, because even though they could kill everyone there, tommy doesn't want to and they aren't going to go against family, they couldn't care less about the mortals but tommy is another story and if he wants to play nice they'll let him play nice (for now). wilbur and phil stay back to keep an eye on him while also playing the parts of father haunted by his dead son just for the fun of it
and tommy does well for a bit, keeping his chaos in check at least, and not seeing tubbo as just another mortal (he couldn't care less about the others), he does find the newcomer interesting though and doesn't immediately dismiss them
when his chaos reaches a point where he needs to let some out he takes the new guy (ranboo) and goes to rob the mushroom house, things get a bit outta hand and the house ends up burning
tommy takes the fall
he gets exiled by the same person he went against his family for
he is hurt
brought to logstedshire, he plays along with whatever, letting his chaos and wilburs madness infect dream, taking joy in watching it consume the man. when he finally gets bored he leaves and joins his brother at his cabin
not even a week later the butcher army come to try and execute techno, which doesn't end well at all. tommy stayed behind while techno humored the mortals letting them attempt their little execution than easily breaking free and killing quackity in the process. phil goes with him
doomsday is planned by the gods to get back at the mortals who hurt their youngest. tommy blows up the community house so he give the warning for what's to come
during actual doomsday they finally reveal what/who they are, so the residents of New l'manburg can see just how badly they fucked up
tommy is supposed to kill tubbo, before he can however tubbo asks him if it was all fake, and tommy is honest. tells him that in the beginning it was but at some point that changed, and he started caring and now he'd be lying to himself if he said he didn't. he can't even bring himself to kill tubbo
something shifts in tommy and he is no longer chaos, and instead becomes loyalty
phil, techno, and wilbur are blinded by rage towards the people who made tommy hurt and attempts to kill tubbo but something unexpected happens
for his accomplishment of doing the impossible, making a cruel God kind, tubbo is turned into a God. the God of forgiveness
the three leave once tommy runs up and hugs him, realizing Tommy's domain has shifted and that like it or not a pair of gods have just been born
ranboo ends up being taken to the cabin along with tubbo because he has no where else to go. it helps that the gods have all taken a liking to him
over the next few months tubbo along with ranboo start working with the gods to try and get them to see mortals as more than just tools for their entertainment (the two also get married and adopt micheal at this point)
everyone else on the smp believe beeduo got kidnapped by them and keep trying to "save them" and failing miserably every time
ranboo happily playing cards and winning with them, cut to quackity spying on them and thinking this must be some advanced torture technique
all is well until tommy and tubbo get attacked by dream using a god killing axe (he was angrey that tubbo took his only chance to become a god and now wants to kill him). while protecting tubbo and fighting back (killing dream twice) sam and the others arrive and think it's tommy who snapped and attacked first (they still think he is chaos)
he gets captured and put into the prison that was built to keep the gods imprisoned. tubbo runs back to the cabin and tells the others what happened, and while he is breaking down tubbos domain shifts from forgiveness to destruction and becomes cruel
Niki joins them at this point and the syndicate is formed
over the next few months while tommy is trapped in the prison, tubbo pretends to be glad he is free and roams the server letting off radiation and slowly weakening and killing anyone he comes across. just biding his time until the syndicate is ready to break tommy out
when they are ready they strike at night, tubbo gets in by pretending he wants to settle things with tommy and "get peace", once he is on the moving bridge he reveals his true colours letting his radiation kill the warden
he finds tommy weak and in chains, tommy who even after months in prison, has not gone cack to chaos. wasting no time tubbo destroys the chains and breaks down the "impenetrable" walls with his destruction. meeting up with the rest of the syndicate who were waiting on the outside
ranboo and Niki were told to stay behind at the cabin incase tubbo couldn't control his power, unfortunately that's what dream was expecting. so while the gods aren't there to protect them, dream attacks, they hold him back long enough for the others to get back but right as they get there ranboo is struck with the same axe dream used against tommy
niki takes tom so tubbo and wilbur can go to ran, while techno and phil fight off dream. wilbur plays a song to keep ranboo calm, while tubbo tries to stop the bleeding. in this moment they are not the cruel gods they are known as, and like tommy months earlier, their domains shift
madness becomes music, blood becomes protection, and death becomes family
dream is killed for good this time, ranboo is healed by phil who refuses to let his death take him, and they leave for good with the few people they care about. they can learn to be kind later for now they need to heal
between dsmp and qsmp
there is about a 1000 year gap between the two. and the first 400 of those years is spent happily traveling together and leaning to be kind with ranboo and micheal, who have been made functionally immortal by phil (he asked beforehand of course)
wilbur is the first to split off wanting to play his music for the world and distance himself from his past madness. then tommy leaves because he wants to explore the world, techno goes with his for protection
leaving phil to look after the _Beloved family who have made a little home for themselves. tubbo has to leave occasionally go preform whatever duties he has as a god, but he always comes back. and micheal goes on his own adventures for years, even decades at a time, he too always comes back
after 200 years of this little routine ranboo asks phil the question he's been dreading for 600 years. he waits until tubbo is out of the house and asks if he could take back the immortality. says that he's been thinking about it for a long time and now that he's lived such a long life he's ready. when phil asks if tubbo knows, ranboo can only say his expression would make him change his mind
after explaining that ranboo would still have to live out the rest of his natural lifespan and that ranboo has to promise to tell everyone sooner rather than later, it is done, and ranboo is mortal once again
the first ones told are micheal and tubbo, who comes home a year later, the tears are expected and there are a LOT of tears, it's almost like ranboo would drop dead any minute and not live nearly another 100 years. tommy, techno, and wilbur find out not long after and their reactions are similar, with lots of tears and hugs
they all promise to make as many memories in the next 100 years as possible
and once those 100 years are up, phil personally escorts ranboo to the afterlife to be taken care of by his wife, the goddess of death
ranboo would be joined by micheal not much later
NOW FOR QSMP
qsmp is set long after the gods have learned to be kind (thanks to the efforts of ranboo and micheal) now the family is off doing their own things and trying to atone for their pasts. their old domains will always be a part of them and they still have power over them, but they don't abuse that power
wilbur and phil just so happened to end up on the same train to quesadilla island together. little did they know the descendants of people they once knew (and tormented) would also be on the island, along with foolish and slime who are the same people from the smp
they both end up finding foolish and slime and apologizing for what happened in he past. slime doesn't really care cause the gods never messed with him much, if anything he was one of they few people they were kind to, and foolish had no problems since what they did never really effected him 💀
of course neither of them reveal what they are to any of the other residents (that don't already know) and just go on with their lives on the island, well wilbur goes off island for a while so he can go off and spread his music and phil stays behind giving small blessings to the islanders
when the kids come it becomes increasingly clear why phil was drawn to this place, he is the God of family after all. and to his surprise all of the kids have been blessed by various gods given to the residents to be raised as new champions, and of course the one phil ends up with just so happens to be blessed by one of phils own sons, techno
when wilbur comes back he can feel the presence of the young champions, but there is a stronger presence that he couldn't explain, at least not until he meets tallulah
because unlike the other egg children, tallulah isn't blessed by a god, and she wasn't born from the dragon like the others (I WILL BE MAKING A SEPARATE POST ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT IT GETTING LOST IN THE MASSIVE SUMMARY POST)
while the other eggs are simply blessed by gods, tallulah is one, and she's not just any god, she's a god born from music itself, from wilbur
he's not sure about being her father at first, he's too scared his lingering madness will infect and ruin her, but when he helps her paint her first sunrise he knows he will never be able to let her go
when he has to leave again he promises to send her the prettiest birdsongs every morning so she knows he will always be there for her. phil promises to protect her with his life while wilbur is away
the nightmare that happens isn't actually a nightmare, it really happened, and it's the first time phil uses his influence over death in centuries. he refuses to let his kids die like that, but if something like this were to happen again he wouldn't be able to bring them back. not without the other islanders finding him out
and everything goes back to normal, or as normal as things could be, until Bobby's death. and there's nothing phil can do, his domain may be death but even he has rule he must follow and he's already broken them once, he cannot do it again. the most he can do is bring Bobby's soul to the living world and allow his parents one final goodbye
and no one does find out, at least not for a while, when the Brazilians came a few of them seemed to know something was up but couldn't quite place what it was.
when tallulah gots attacked by the code phil got carried away and death slipped from his grasp causing tallulahs death
he can't help but feel guilty for not being able to do more for the grieving parents of the island
when the codes disguse themselves as Phil's kids he is pissed, and he can't help it when death surrounds him. if he uses an excessive amount of power while fighting them, the only one to notice is etoiles who had only seen philza use this kind of power once before
finding tubbo had been a surprise, and phil hadn't expected the warm hug he got. not after he left 300 years ago, after the loss of his family. but as it turns out he missed phil greatly and was excited to see him again
introducing him to tallulah and chayanne was easy, and they took to him quickly. phil was quick to make him their godparent (pun intended)
one day after putting the kids to bed with him, phil could tell there was something on tubbos mind. he didn't have a chance to ask what was wrong before tubbo spoke, saying he hadn't put a child to bed like this since... he couldn't even finish his sentence. sometimes he would see micheal in the egg children and it was just too much for him
and once again things seem to be going back to normal until the eggs are taken away. phil knows they aren't dead, he would have known if the were, but still their absence drives him mad. he has half the mind to think wilbur is behind his madness but he knows his son would never
the birdhouse is much like the prison tommy was once put in, and with the stress of losing the eggs, phil starts seeing things. and he really starts to wonder if some of wilburs old madness was re-emerging
tubbo is a mess with them gone, he doesn't want to lose another family
wilbur comes back to the island as soon as he stops seeing tallulahs paintings in the sky, and when he finds out she's missing... that madness he's been running from sneaks back up on him. he leaves before it can infect anyone else, and when phil finds him later he doesn't mention it
when he finds the recording of his song with tallulahs turtles, all of the madness disappears. perhaps it's his music that will reach her
.
.
.
and that's all the notable lore bits up till purgatory (I am begging someone to send an ask about purgatory cause I have many thoughts)
^this is a lie, there is so much I left out, like the entire backstory of why they were cruel in the first place, or how any of the dsmp backstories play into this, and also Kristin's whole role in this, and I completely left out ALL of the Hermitcraft and life series stuff that has to do with grian
I just put the bare minimum and this is still monstrously long 😭😭😭😭
genuinely anyone who makes it to the bottom of this post good job, it took me days to write because it was all off memory 💀
anyways please send me more asks about it because writing it all down has made me brainrot over this au again

my @mcytblraufest gift for @whoretimeswithscar! an over the garden wall au with mcyt characters! if youre unfamiliar, over the garden wall is a cartoon starring two brothers, wirt and greg, who find themselves lost in a place called the unknown and try to find their way around home, meeting many people including someone called the woodsman and a talking bluebird named beatrice.
starring: wilbur as wirt, the older brother; tommy as greg, the younger brother; grian as beatrice, the bluebird but as a parrot, + other cast and stuff under the cut! cause i made a BUNCH for this apparently.
charlie slimecicle as jason funderberker the frog! he's basically the brothers' pet frog, and he gets a musical number in one of the episodes!
Tumblr media
AND a bunch of screenshot redraws from the opening sequence (on youtube, also dont watch after the title card at abt 45 secs in if you dont want spoilers from the end)
although i think the next stuff do have some spoilers for some characters
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
characters in order: charlie, grian, joe (and cleo in the painting), stress, and gem!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and then bad as the woodsman, dream as the beast, and then skeppy!
okay really going into spoiler territory here for the characters:
wilbur and tommy are wearing lmanburg/or just revolution uniforms in general as halloween costumes! wilburs are too short on him, and tommys are too big. tommys wearing red rainboots cause he doesnt have fancy ones like wilbur already had.
charlies just a slimy frog with glasses. no one knows how they stay there, there's no tape or anything. also he has. teeth. no reason at all tbh, and he also doesnt speak yet like in canon aside from the musical numbers.
grian as beatrice! i mean, he does seem like the type to get his family cursed because of shenanigans.
joe hills as quincy endicott and zombie cleo as margueritte grey! i really like this idea hehe. the premise of endicotts episode is that hes an eccentric lonely rich guy with a huuuge mansion who thinks is haunted, or that he might just really be going mad. turns out that his mansion was just so huge that he didnt realize that it was two mansions joined together, and that the resident of the other mansion, margueritte grey, was the ghost he thought he was seeing, and also thought he was a ghost. so like shenanigans with joe and cleo lmao.
stress as auntie whispers and gem as lorna! lorna is a young sick girl who lives with auntie whispers, but turns out her sickness was an evil spirit possessing here and forcing her to devour people, she didnt know tho i think and thought auntie was evil and forcing her to do chores. auntie whispers was like a really creepy evil looking old woman but turns out she was nice, just evil and creepy looking.
bad as the woodsman and skeppy as the woodsmans daughter! and dream as the beast. the beast was this.. idk he was the beast. an evil spirit taking children lost in the woods? the woodsmans daughter had gotten lost in the woods and the beast told the woodsman that the lantern contained his daughters soul, and he had to keep it lit of else his daughter was dead forever by chopping edelwood trees and turning them to oil as fuel. and then turns out the beast was just tricking him
also! the unknown is like, im pretty sure is supposed to be the afterlife? or like limbo, or as u had mentioned in your request notes, dantes inferno! when you mentioned dantes inferno, and limbo, and cool imagery, otgw was the first thing that came to my mind! i had just watched this one video essay about otgw being a modern retelling of dantes inferno before i recieved your request lol. cause wirt and greg were supposed to be drowning while they were in the unknown i think.
also!! for the first drawing, the scene is like, not rly anything specific for the show, i just thought it looked cool. and i somehow had the idea to. make it a painting. again. against all previous experiences of paintings being absolute slogs to finish. they almost always just reach the point of i dont even want to look at this anymore its good enough, but im really love how this one came out!
i had a few other au ideas i was thinking of before i did this one, i didnt manage to do them mostly bc it was always like. wayyy out of my artistic skills and also i didnt know how to make them make sense or execute them well enough.
previous ideas included: some sort of adventure story/comic/chose your own adventure/small rpg/point and click adventure/idk of limbo and exploring people's limbo, such as wilbur in the train station, schlatt in the gym, tommy in a void, grian in the middle of 3rd life and last life, etc. and the vibes i was looking for like victorian impossible mansion with shifting rooms or smth and also these kinds of stuff like a small pixel art point and click exploring of limbos
and also an ibong adarna au (????) its a filipino story of a prince journeying to capture the legendary bird, ibong adarna, to cure his sick father, and he had two older brothers who also failed bc they werent kind to a beggar in the street who turned out to be a sorcerer(?). basically, wilbur, techno, and tommy as the princes, with tommy as the youngest who succeeded bc he was kind, charlie as the ermitanyo/beggar?? and grian as the bird?
ANYWAYS thats all very sorry for the literal freaking wall of rambling text here much apologies for the lateness and hope you enjoy it!!

Once, while Grian was out adventuring, he stumbled upon a.. a child? He introduced himself as "Tommy". He was loud, chaotic and just a bit annoying. But still, he was a child, barely seven. In the middle of no where. Grian decided to bring him back to hermitcraft and they all just took care of him. Some hermits sees him as their son, some sees him as their little brother. Either way, they would all die for the boy.
Tommy uses that to his advantage, making the hermits weak so he can get away pranks and petty crime, the hermits just affectionately shake their head at him and gives him a light scolding
