Empires SMP-Spirts/Fae AU

Hey! So I was watching Shubble’s stream(right after her first episode and as she was playing, I got some ideas for the Empires SMP! Note: I haven’t watched everyone’s episodes on Empires, but I highly suggest that you check them all out. Pearl and Gem’s videos on Empires are some of my favorites, but I also love Shubble, Scott, fWhip, and Pixlriffs.

Initial World-building: I like to think that the Empires SMP is a story of spirits/fae/royal courts. For example some of the players would be spirits or fae creatures. (Think Scott, Shubble, Jimmy?? And maybe Pixl), and the rest would be normal, human players that are royals. (Again, fWhip, Mythical, Pearl, Katherine, Joey, Gem, etc…) I’ll start with the fae creatures first and if I’m up to it, I’ll post my ideas for the others.

Scott Smajor: Ice/Wind

So in my head, I like to think that Scott is a fae creature from the court of ice and wind. (Mostly because ice powers are cool and because he’s in a mountain). He has explicitly stated that he’s building in an elven sort of style, which can still match with him being from a fae court.

Personality:

I would like to say he’s cold, calculating, and even ruthless or cruel at times (He murdered Gem after she died, guys, come on). He sees the people around him as assets that can help him, but he doesn’t form a real connection with any of them just yet. Everything is very strict and formal around him

I like to think that because wind spirits are pretty mischievous and free spirited, he has a softer side to him as well. He likes to pull pranks, but doesn’t know when too far is too far. His pranks can border on cruel and sometimes insensitive, but it’s because wind/ice spirits are probably the most detached from the other spirits

Appearance:

As for his appearance, I’m taking his skin as part of my inspiration. I like the idea of him in whites, blues, golds, and silvers. He has a crown of diamond shards that mimic ice and is held together with silver and gold that mimic branches. His robes are mostly white(representing snow) and there would be a trim of blue for the skies above his lands. He might have either arm bands, bracelets, or rings that are made of silver or gold(representing the times when the sun or moon hits the snow).

Powers(?)

Because Scott is an ice/wind spirit, I think it would be cool if parts of him would reflect that. Maybe his skin is super pale and cold to the touch. Maybe he doesn’t wear furry coats because he doesn’t get cold.

The air around him gets colder when he’s angry or stressed, and if he gets really pissed, he could make it start to snow around him. When he’s sad, ice starts to freeze the ground under his feet or plants around him. Maybe it gets windy when he’s happy or dies down when something shocks him

I also think it’d be cool if he had like… frost walker(?) on his feet. Like the water freezes should he get too close and he doesn’t even realize it until someone points it out. It makes travel easy for him, but also an annoyance when he is doing a build or getting a bucket of water

Shubble: Nature/Decay

So Shubble’s kingdom/empire is called the Undergrowth. When I think of that, I think of mushrooms, soil, roots, and trees. It’s pretty close to what she’s planning right now. Her style of building gives me very cottage core vibes that’s very overgrown. I like to think that she’s a nature spirit because she has said that nature provides and that just seems like a very spirit thing to say.

So I know I said decay, but when it comes to decay, it has an interesting look to everyone. Sometimes it’s bleached bones and withered grass, sometimes it’s spongy soil and mushrooms. I like to think that Shubble is the kinder side to decay(That’s saved for someone else). Something that must happen for the cycle of life to continue, she isn’t ruthless or cruel, she’s just trying to help the earth along.

Personality:

Shubble would be very kind, sweet, and overall very trusting. That doesn’t mean she’s stupid or naive, it just means she’s willing to be kind to people first and give them chances to show their kindness. (I spent a long time in her chat during her streams and… yeah, wholesome energy).

She doesn’t see the people around her as assets and rather hopes to make friends rather than enemies. I won’t say she forms connections quickly(mostly because I haven’t seen her interact with others just yet). But she is very trusting. (remember fWhips potatoes and Pearl’s shovel). During her stream after her first episode aired, she talked about hoping to be friends with Katherine from House Blossom and is aiming to stay as peaceful as possible during the time of the server.

Appearance:

So I haven’t seen her skin yet(mostly because this is coming out before we see it.) But she’s using a lot of browns, yellows, greens, and reds. I would like to say that her outfit would sort of reflect that. Instead of a crown of precious gems and metals, it’s maybe a crown of twigs, branches, leaves, and maybe some smaller mushrooms. (Antlers would be cool, so… )

I don’t think a dress would work, since she does a lot of work around her base. (Her stream was having her working with trees, leaves, and mining), so I think maybe a pair of overalls (maybe a brown?), a yellow/red undershirt and maybe a dark green jacket. Her outfit would be perfect for her to get on her hands and knees and dig into the earth(Gardener! Shubble).

Powers:

I feel like because Shubble has this overall sweet and kind energy, I think mushrooms would grow from around her feet. Maybe she can sense when things are about to pass on and tries to make them as comfortable as possible. She can communicate with the earth below her(again, nature provides), and can speak with the animals to some degree

I would like to see spore blossoms react to her. Since spores are also the seeds for mushrooms, it’d just make sense in my head. Maybe she can coax plants to bloom or grow slightly faster around her if she’s happy. Maybe when she’s sad, things start to wilt or shrivel up. Her anger makes things die or age rapidly around her. Her touch can either harm or heal. Knitting the body’s wounds or it could tear into them, causing them agony.

Jimmy: Ghosts/Decay

I like to think that maybe Jimmy started out human. Or maybe he’s half human. Like one of his parents was human and the other was a fae. (It would certainly explain his skin)

Personality:

So I haven’t watched a lot of Jimmy, but I wanted to get this off my chest because it’s been in my head for a while now. I think Jimmy, like Shubble, is trusting. Not as much as Shubble, but he does aim for friendship first and then enemy second. So, maybe he’s an opportunist instead.

Another thing that he might be is petty or spiteful(see his and Sausage’s argument over a music disc). Another ruler might negotiate or bargain their way to what they want, but I think that either Jimmy is pretty young(for fae standards) or his mixed bloodline makes it hard for him to act with a clearer head. It’s pretty clear that he wants others to take him seriously, but at the same time, he can act very impulsive and rashly(See all of 3rd life).

Appearance:

It’s pretty clear that Jimmy has that green tinge to his skin. But I think he would have colours such as green(for obvious reasons), browns, and maybe some greys(for clay in the swamp). He wouldn’t have a crown, instead, he’d have a set of gills on each side of his neck. Since I like to think that he swims around in the swamp to talk to the cod in his kingdom.

For more formal events, he might have a brown cloak and pants with a rich green tunic. He doesn’t look the most royal, but maybe that’s okay because he doesn’t want to be seen as super royal to the rest of his kingdom. Maybe he feels like if he appears to be too royal, the people of his kingdom wouldn’t approach him.

Powers:

So Jimmy’s was pretty difficult. Swamps aren’t like ice and wind or nature. But he is a spirit of decay. A less kind version of decay, but not overall cruel. Maybe his decay strikes faster than Shubbles. Where she is understanding and aims to help those along, Jimmy is buried with memories, sunken bodies, and ghostly apparitions.

So maybe he can see the dead, ghosts who haven’t passed on and simply wander his empire. His eyes glow a faint green whenever he talks to them and tries to aid them to move on to the afterlife.When he’s happy, he shines in the dark backdrop of the swamp, drawing more of the dead, eager to pass on.

Maybe his anger results in ghostly wails or being dragged into the soft earth around his home. His sadness draws more of the dead to his area, even if they didn’t die there. His pain and grief is like a blackhole, pulling souls in and forcing them to stick around, stuck in his orbit. Maybe a certain few stayed because he was the first one who spoke to them, who reached out to them, who made an effort.

Pixlriffs:Time/Death

So Pixlriffs has said that he wants to watch over the others deaths with his vigil and he lives in a desert, so I thought they would work with each other. When you think of time, you think of hourglasses, they have sand so that’s the connection I made.

Personality:

So Pix has shown an unhinged side to his overall calm and collected composure.(Example, Episode Ten, I think?) His: I sent five people to their deaths and they granted me wings(paraphrased) line is both chilling and is also perfect for a spirit of time/death.

He, like Scott, is a bit disconnected from the others. Not by accident or nature, but by choice. As a spirit of time and death, he sees the clocks above everyone’s heads, knowing when their last breaths will be taken and when those clocks finally stop.

It’s not that he’s apathetic to his fellow kings and queens, but rather he is scared. He doesn’t want to form connections only to see them disappear like a drop of sand in a desert. He wishes to honour the people who have weaseled their way into his heart. So he keeps the vigil to count their deaths and remind them that they will not be forgotten. Pixl is a watcher, an overseer that is afraid of the day his friends will pass on and leave him alone.

Appearance:

The man calls himself the copper king, so I have to have those shades of copper in his outfits somewhere. Teal, brown(for bronze), and those shades between (for copper)are very good(both in builds and on clothes). I also think that pale yellow(representing the sand) is also a nice touch and green for his lush gardens is also a wonderful tone.

He has a cape that is mostly teal(I’m thinking the shift between the third to final stage) with a bronze belt. The pale yellow would be his shirt and his pants would be a darker brown. Matching his boots.

I think he would have a crown with pale yellow crystals(yellow zircon or topaz) with bronze wires making up the rest of the crown. Maybe there are pieces of turquoise or aquamarine, that would be cool too.

Powers:

The man is basically a watcher. He has wings and can see through time. Like I said before, he can see the clocks ticking above the other players’ heads. Seeing how long they have until their last breath. Pixl is equal parts chaotic and calm. So I think he has a good control over his emotions.

When he’s stressed things start to wilt under his feet(another reason he lives in a desert), in his anger, he can cause death. Maybe he’s just an omen or something that draws in death. (See his end raiding attempts one and two). I like to think that maybe he has the ability to hold flames or make small ones(just for his candles), he isn’t violent or uses them to hurt others. He simply just uses them to light his candles.

He’s more than capable with his other abilities.

This is all I have for now. If I decide to do the others, I’ll add a link to this post. I’d appreciate some information or ideas for the other players since I haven’t had the chance to touch down on all of them. If you have any ideas, feel free to send them to me too!

laimondi

jet lag (simple plan ft. natasha bedingfield)

long distance yearning! ouch

painting flowers (all time low)

“tried to open up my eyes/i'm hoping for a chance to make it alright/when i wake up the dream isn't done/i want to see your face and know i made it home/if nothing is true, what more can i do?/i am still painting flowers for you/show my cards, gave you my heart/wish we could start all over/nothing's making sense at all”

something about this song gives me vibes of like... a love that is so heartfelt that it’s inspiring to even yourself. that is very rowan to me.

“painting flowers” is like... emotional investment, or plan-making - i think bliss and rowan both have to re-contextualise their relationship in the wake of their breakup, but sometimes they still, “paint flowers” for each other and humour the idea of spending their lives together, romantically, just because of habit

too much (all time low)

because their breakup was overdue, and they are better off as best friends. i kind of feel like they took the novelty of a relationship for granted and that’s why it took them a while to realise it wasn’t working for them

trust nobody (king princess)

“they treat you like a ticket/but i just wanna kick it/and honey, i'll take you there/oh, when everyone starts calling for me/oh, i only pick up for you”

it’s important that rowan met bliss at a time where fame had just hit them hard, because it makes the fact she didn’t know him as a celebrity just that more significant

if i could fly (one direction)

long distance thing again. part of me really thinks they might’ve stayed together if they’d had the time they needed, when they needed it

coffee shop soundtrack, studio (all time low)

rowan considering his fame in the context of his relationship with bliss. this is at the start of the relationship though, so it’s more of an awareness of everything that could go wrong with it

walls (all time low)

bliss is quite self-reliant. this song is about her learning to trust herself and be vulnerable around rowan

sick little games (all time low)

rowan’s fame meaning there’s always this kind of looming possibility that they’ll need to break up, because he's sort of trapped in it

piece of your heart (mayday parade)

long distance stuff but a bit happier !

coffee shop soundtrack, acoustic (all time low)

everything i said before about this song, just with the reality that they do break up because of rowan’s fame

i couldn’t be more in love (the 1975)

this song is a fun one because it’s technically about an artist’s relationship with their fans but lyrically it’s got the framing of a relationship that you were very emotionally invested in but has now ended, re: it's a very rowan song

broken record (atlas)

this one’s a soft one. rowan’s a lyricist, but this song’s about struggling to put into words how much you love someone without being cliché. i love it

trouble is (all time low)

“all that i know is i just can't say no to you/funny how things never change/all that i wanted was just to get over you/trouble is i can't find a way/you're part of me”

no matter how much bliss and rowan have lost their romantic feelings for one another, adjusting to being single and being friends with your ex is always going to be jarring, especially if you were together for as long as these two were

glitter & crimson (all time low)

this one’s how i imagine bliss feels about rowan, like when they first reached a point of stability and comfort in their relationship - this is when she realises their relationship isn’t going to be fleeting, and the euphoria of that. also, the dumbass “glitter and crimson”, “supernova/four leaf clover” lyrics are a good contrast between rowan being a really good lyricist and bliss just not caring about any of that

scrawny (wallows)

first meeting stuff! i very firmly believe both bliss and rowan think the other is way cooler than themselves, but not in a self-deprecating way, they just love and respect each other a lot :)

back of a cab (king princess)

breakup things ! kind of a sadder version of why i have ‘trouble is’ on here. point being, breaking up from a first-love, long-term relationship is going to leave an impact on both of them

ohio (king princess)

“'cause i've been getting rich/but everything i love is broke/so what's good?/is it me or is it you?”

the sense they had throughout i was born for this that things were going to come to an end, even if they didn’t want it to happen at first

mirrored heart (fka twigs)

“it’s all for the gain/it's all for the lovers tryna take the breath away/it's all for the gain/it's all for the lovers tryna chase the rush again”

bliss and rowan both knew throughtought ‘i was born for this’ that something was off, and that their relationship was coming to an end. still, they found comfort in each other, and wanted to hold on to being in a relationship for a little bit longer

“but i'm never gonna give up/though i'm probably gonna think about you all the time/and for the lovers who found a mirrored heart/they just remind me i'm without you”

just the absolutely depressing feeling that you haven’t found your 'person’ that everyone gets in the wake of a breakup. “i’m never gonna give up” reminds me of rowan, his resilience, how he will do anything to ignore his own problems. i think this one

“did you want me all?/no, not for life”

i think this one hits particularly hard for rowan, with the whole “no one else is like us” thing making it more difficult for him to have a normal relationship because of his fame

summer girl (haim)

“lightning in your eyes, you can't speak/you've fallen from the sky, down to me/i see it in your face, i'm relief/i'm your summer girl”

god this song... it’s soft, it’s tender, it’s about understanding what little time you have with someone and the joy that then comes from seeing each other. there’s a teeny bit of religious imagery in, “you’ve fallen from the sky, down to me”, as if rowan is an angel, or at least bliss views him as one, and it also speaks to how different their lives are since rowan is famous. bliss is “relief” in rowan’s eyes, she’s his “summer girl” - think of this quote from jimmy:

“when they were together they both seemed to stop worrying about everything else in their lives - rowan was no longer an overworked band boy and bliss was no longer a struggling student. they were just together.”

Best Looks from the 2020 Grammys

Everyone at the Grammy’s looked really amazing tonight! Here are just some outfits that stood out to me. Although there are SO many more people who I don’t have on this list. Congrats to Billie Eilish for winning 5 FRIKIN grammy’s and she's only 18, hollyshit! Also Lana you deserve to win a grammy for Norman Fucking Rockwell but you are exceedingly superior to the grammy’s. You are a winner in my heart lol. <3 #i’llbeyourgrammy

Dua Lipa

Alexander Wang

Dua Lipa embraced the 90′s with her blue eyeshadow, and diamond chocker, and half up half down hair style. Her ensemble is elegant and radiates Cher Horowitz vibes.

FKA Twigs

Ed Marler gown, Jimmy Choo shoes, and Bentley and Skinner jewelry.

This is my favourite outfit from the grammy’s. It gives me a whimsical, red riding hood, fairy tale, dark + forbidden romance vibe to it. I think the cape is so cool and there are so many details!! The fuchsia pink and black goes really well together, the material is so gorgeous and i love the silver and black detailing on her body. Also when she puts her cape down her hair is red and so stunning.

Billy Porter

Baja East

He looks fabulous, I think the blue eyeshadow and sparkles and wacky shoes says it all.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by New York Times Fashion & Style (@nytimesfashion) on Jan 26, 2020 at 4:02pm PST

This entire outfit was a performance in itself. It was really amusing watching the hat un-veil itself. It’s so funny how some outfits speak for themselves. Like you don’t even have to say anything because the outfit says it all.

Gwen Stefani

Dolce and Gabbana

Charlie Wilson (not some weird ass white guy I named him 🤭🤪)

It looks like he’s in a mafia or something. I like his his red sunglasses & gold key necklace

Lucky Daye

I like the minty green colour and material

Cordae

It’s interesting to look at but also put together and it almost has a romantic feel to it because of the red roses. Wouldn’t he look good with FKA Twigs?!

Lonr

the turtleneck and hat thing is interesting

Kimberly Schlapman

The dress just looks really nice on her and when the sparkles catch the light it's really pretty.

Lil Nas X

Versace

PINK NEON COWBOY, it's wacko + SO DARING

Billie Eilish

Gucci

I wouldn’t normally think that pj’s to the Grammy’s is appropriate but Billie has completely changed my mind. Billie looks cool + laidback but yet fabulous at the same time. Not everyone can pull that off. Also her sunglasses are just amazing. AND HER HAIR I LUV IT!!

Lana Del Rey <3

Lana looks beautiful as always. She actually got her dress from a mall which is really awesome. This dress radiates the scene of a ball in the 1920′s with Gatsby.

Ariana Grande

Giambattista Valli

SO MUCH TULLE!!! This ballgown looks like a big fluffy cloud and I associate it with a cloudy day in Paris on top of the Eiffel Tower looking at the view of the city from above.

WOWZA !!
