Lil wolau!Grian sketch! Yay :D

I'm still trying to work out their designs (especially like, facial shapes n how i draw their expressions n stuff), but hopefully I'll be able to post their finalized character designs soon!

What the fuck is up with the rain on hermitcraft. Like, it doesn't USUALLY rain frequently right??? Except now even jevin and beef commented on the rain, complaining that it rains every day??!!

Scratch that, it's not just the rain:

it's Doc flooding joes base while quoting the Bible, Gem's whole town that literally has people cannonicly going insane from the water & a scientist that researches it, Mumbo building a lab to research what's wrong with the water, Grian's whole Mending book lore, False building rivers and saying there's something going on with the water, big salmon,...

I smell lore

OKAY SO UNFORTUNATELY, my (unmedicated) adhd said ✨no✨to me finishing the first chapter of wolau on time, HOWEVER: I've instead worked on some future chapters AND started working on two artworks for the first chapter (instead of just one)

To give you guys at least SOME content while im working on the fic, here's the art refs for the first chapter!!! (Which i might post on my bday, the 25th :3)

Feel free to guess stuff in the comments, it's probably not what ur expecting tho LMFAO

Hmmm question about ao3 tagging for yall since I've never rly published fics on ao3 (i was a fanfic.de/.net kinda guy)

So my fic, wolau, is focused on a main character (grian) who isn't in a romantic relationship with anyone. However, 2 other members of the main cast (boat boys) have a kind of ambiguous / lowkey romantic relationship. And I'm not sure whether i should just tag it Gen, or both Gen and M/M? Cause there will be some bits and bobs out of their pov.

OH ALSO I might end up splitting wolau into multiple fics (one for each major arc) bc of tags and such, if i end up doing that then the first one will DEFINITELY be Gen, since the relationship only rly starts in the second to third arc

Web of Lies hermitcraft AU (Summary/info post)

Grian is surprised when Jimmy contacts him, especially since they haven't spoken in years. Back then, Grian was still a journalist who secretly worked with villains and Jimmy was a young adult who got accepted into a hero program...

Apparently Jimmy had become a vigilante instead, and the reason he contacted Grian was because he and his civilian friend Joel were creating an underground fighting ring and they needed workers for the bar above it that functions as a cover up.

He's hesitant to accepts their offer, since he's been trying to stay out of any... Crime "Shenanigans" for the past few years since quiting his job as a journalist, but agrees after they assure him that they just need a civilian worker that won't rat them out to the heroes.

Everything goes well at first and Grian slowly gets to know the other staff members better, that is until he starts to overhear more and more strange conversations between his co-workers, mentioning a strange type of magic that has been causing chaos in the city recently. It sounds awfully familiar to a cult Grian knows from his time as a journalist in Evo.

Grian is determined to stay out of it, ESPECIALLY if it turns out he's correct about the watchers being involved, but he has to at least do something, right?

Or, Grian has to make a choice between his quiet life as a "civilian" and saving his friends. Determined to do both, he tries to influence the watchers games from behind the scenes without anyone finding out, even going as far as creating new secret personas. Too bad the watchers think identity reveals are incredibly entertaining...

!!Masterpost is here!!

more stuff below!

(These things might change slightly, but I'll keep updating this post as i write the fics/comics!)

Characters

Major characters: Grian, Joel, Etho, Mumbo

Important side characters*: Jimmy, Gem, Pearl, Evil X, Ren, Doc, Xisuma, Scar,

Other minor characters: Cub, Zedaph, Skizz, Beef, Tango, Bdubs, Cleo, Martyn, Scott, Impulse, Joe, Iskall, False, Stress

(*still count as major characters, but they r either only relevant during one arc, don't get much screen time, or don't influence the plot that much)

Relationships

The main ones r just.... All of the major chars ig? Like, Grian&Mumbo, Grian&Jimmy&Joel, Joel&Etho, Grian&Etho, Grian&Gem, Grian&Pearl,...

Side ones / only relevant during one arc: Grian&Evil X, Grian&Xisuma, Grian&Scar, Etho&Bdubs, Etho&Doc, Pearl&Scott, Cleo&Scott, Skizz&Beef,...

Theres also some side (friend)ships that im not sure about yet, mainly boat boys and rendoc, since i can't decide whether i wanna make them platonic, ambiguous or romantic 😭 feel free to tell me what u prefer!!!

Permit office headquarters sending slightly threatening letters to Grian gives the same vibe as Big Salmon sending very threatening letters to Beef

Especially since the entire server seems to fear the permitoffice even more than they fear the mafia... (which isn't much but still)

And I think that says a lot about capitalism

Guys guys u do understand comics means i probably will never finish it... Cause im slow af at drawing and i have adhd which makes me procrastinate n give up...

Just warning yall!

SUGGESTIONS R WELCOME

Since yall seem to like my other AUs/headcanons, I've decided to rant a bit about my 'main' one :3 (kept vague to avoid spoilers)

Small summary: (more indepth rant below)

it's a villan & hero hermitcraft / life series / empires au, focused on bad boys (at least during the first arc). Joel creates a bar as a cover for a fighting ring/information selling business, joined by pearl effo gem grian and jimmy. Grian refuses to participate in the criminal activities at first, but doesn't rat them out either. (inspired by his resisting the resistance thing in s9)

However, as u can probably guess, this doesn't last long and he slowly gets more n more involved, especially once random people mysteriously start getting "the red curse", which he recognizes from his past... (hehe watcher lore) Grian continues to pretend to stay uninvolved while trying to keep the Watchers at bay behind the scenes, even going as far as creating multiple alter egos / secret identities in order to hide his involvement.... (poultry man, cute guy, mother spore,...) Sadly, the Watchers think identity reveals are incredibly amusing and make it their mission to reveal Grians secrets... :)

Now, lil poll bc i wanna know yalls preference:

Im not a very experienced writer, so I can't guarantee the fics would be any good- while i def prefer comics, it would take a long ass time and I'm not sure whether its a good idea since i tend to loose interest in projects p fast wkdhakdj

Still debating what to name it, I think ill call it "Web of lies", "Wolau" for short LMFAO. Im not very good at naming things 😭 suggestions are welcome!!!

Some more background info:

Joel is a fairly new villain who has decided to start a business focused on fighting rings, selling information and just generally doing criminal stuff. (inspired by his secret fighting club in s10). He hires Gem and jimmy, two ex-vigilantes who became a bit more... Villainous. Their cover is a normal bar, which ofc means they also need normal employees who won't snitch. Jimmy suggests Grian toJoel, since he's a retired informant. He basically started out as an investigative journalist in another city, but got more n more involved with both villains and heroes (which is how he knows jimmy) before joining a cult (watcher lore watcher lore watcher lore-) and suddenly dissappearing.

Although he went missing a few years ago, they manage to track him down. He joins, but tells them he's not involved in the world of villains anymore and that he wants to stay out of everything (so hes basically working in the bar that they use as a cover as a 'normal' employee and turns a blind eye to anything criminal going on)

That's kind of the start of the story? Afterwards, Pearl, a villain who was Scott's (<-the previous biggest informant in the city) old co-worker, but got betrayed by him and is now plotting his murder, joins in. Later on etho joins, who is originally sent by the hermits as a spy (<- p big villain&vigilante alliance in the city) but ends up deciding to side w/ them. (BOAT BOYS BOAT BOYS BOAT BOYS-)

(pearl & Scott's conflict is ofc a double life ref and etho is a mycelium resistance ref, he also ends up finding out about some of grians secrets and helping him behind the scenes)

Although its focused on the members of the bar, later on it focuses more on other hermits (since they get more involved w/ the villain group "hermits" which most of the hermits are a part of) but there's also some side stories that focus on other ppl (there's a whole side story about Ren and Doc getting to know each other after Ren gets infected by the curse, or martyn whole listener thing & how it's connected to renchanting/ren getting cursed and the Watchers showing up in the first place... But i dont wanna spoil too much :3)

Oh also! Hermits r mainly criminals(vigilantes, villains, big salmom mafia,...) and Empires members r usually heroes! But there is some exceptions to this rule. (jimmy n martyn for example)

ANY KIND OF QUESTIONS OR SUGGESTIONS R WELCOME!!! might not be able to answer everything bc of spoilers, but ill def try to do some foreshadowing instead :3

Adding more onto this:

Grian and scar didn't realize doc was ACTUALLY afraid of cats at first, they just left some in his base as a joke/threat. (similarly to the whole buttercup thing)

Once they realized he was unironically terrified of them, they stopped doing it, except for scar occasionally bringing jellie along for negotiations, as an "intimidation tactic"

Whenever Doc threatens them, Scar just holds out jellie as a warning. It usually works kwhekwhe

Oh my god you all don't understand how insane i am about doc being a creeper and thus probably being afraid of cats

@angelonasher

FIRSTLY, ajfoxships, YES GIMME ANY AND ALL FICS W/ THIS!!! PLSPLSPLSPLS-

Secondly, here's some of my head cannons which i will probably turn into a comic once i get the chance:

-scar and grian used jellie during season 9 when they destroyed docs tunnel bore. Doc was yelling at them and then scar just held out jelly towards him and doc was like *scared creeper noises* "...ok fine u can go BUT I WILL DESTROY UR ENTIRE BLOODLINE LATER-"

-the theme park jellie ears scar left doc as a gift during s9 after breaking the tunnel bore? Those weren't a gift, they were a threat

-one of the reasons doc asked ren for help is bc Grian Scar and Mumbo kept leaving cats in his base and docs thought process was "cats scare creeper, dogs scare cats -> time to ask the local furry for help"

-Ren scares away any and all cats that come close to doc by aggressively barking at them

-cleo added cats to her cafe(/bookstore) in s10, bc she knew doc wouldn't be able to retaliate after she stole her villagers if she had enough cats to scare him

-bdubs considered putting doc in a catjail as a punishment instead of airjail, but he realized last minute that that was just a wee bit too cruel

(also, Im quite busy w/ other art projects rn, so it might take a while till i post this, incase anyone wants to be tagged once its done just let me know!)

Oh my god you all don't understand how insane i am about doc being a creeper and thus probably being afraid of cats

Wait. Wait. Now hold on.

IS... IS THAT THE REASON HIS SKIN LOOKED SO FAMILIAR???

You know that it's bad when grian goes on strike and refuses to build it 😭

LMFAO WHY DOES THE NEWEST GUESS THE BUILD EPISODE HAVE SO MUCH JOELCEST???

[Day 27]: Grian! The pesky bird, the bad boy, the guy who got me into watching hermitcraft during season 7!

Look at him and his silly big eyes! Yep. They r ginormous, just like the moon. And its definitely the only odd thing about them... Don't look too closely tho :)

Ik this is a hermitcraft art challange, but just HAD to draw his badboy skin.

Oh and i gave him a silly necklace (that's hidden underneath his shirt) with absolutely no hidden meaning (<-lie) that i will definitely not elaborate on in future art! (<-depends on whether i remember to actually do it LMFAO)

(meme about grians eyes below!)

"Mumbo is the moon big" no grian, it's not, not as big as your soulless eyes at least! /j/ref

GUYS I STILL NEED UR HELP WITH STH!

Basically, i need hermitcraft related suggestions: I'm building a miniature wooden house for school and wanna sneak in some references >:D

(sketch, pic of the surrounding area and extra info below)

So far I've added the OG 12 bamboo, I'm also planning on painting a moon on the painting in the house, adding gems boat, a mending book and maybeeee a grumbot or effo statue??? Idk yet cause that would be p hard to make- and my teacher would be rly confused wkdhkaeh

the urge to cosplay season 10 grian or make an animatic to this song...

GRIAN FANS!!

Ik i posted the 'rendered' version of this Grian fanart on here a few days ago, but i lowkey like the flat color version more...

So i decided to post it too :D (reposts appreciated bc for some reason silly hermitcraft quotes get way more interactions than my art 🤨 maybe i should start doing both in comic form...)

Snail family porterait. -Chandelier

Here you go, portrait of a bunch of silly, innocent lil snails that are absolutely harmless and would NEVER eat buildings or terrorize scar. Yep. Hope you like it!

(i once again got carried away and started coloring it, then realized i had a bunch of other rq i needed to finish and speedran the shading LMFAO)
