It was a nice day, at least. The sun was shining, and a pleasant breeze whistled along the mountain pass. Even the wild Pokémon seemed to be enjoying it- despite their usual aggression, the Houndour were just lazing around, and actually seemed to be willing to leave them be, for once. “We ran into the Ogre last night,” his new travelling companion said, finally breaking the silence, and Kieran froze. “W-What?”
...So. It's been a while. Sorry about that. Burnout has been kicking my ass for the last eighteen-odd months.
I finally wrote a thing again. A small thing, but a thing nonetheless. It's Pokémon's Teal Mask DLC, not any of the fandoms most of you follow me for, but the plot makes me kinda wanna slap someone so. I guess this is the consequence.
If you don't know the plot of TM, this... probably won't make sense. I don't know. My brain isn't really operating correctly, so I can't put myself in your position right now.
I don't know when I'll write again, but it probably won't be Hermitcraft. Sorry. Hyperfixations change, y'know? ...Yeah, I wish LPAU wasn't unfinished, too. I hope I'll be able to come back to it someday.

Joe and Bdubs are on opposite ends of a spectrum but I cannot for the life of me tell you what that spectrum is.

So I, for some reason I am yet to understand, have spent a signifigant amount of time in my life skimming through three seasons of Zloy's Truly Bedrock series and compiled every single one in which his sentient shop AI/robot child Alice has been constructed, made an attempt to communicate, has undergone character development, and otherwise generally appeared.
(I've also dug through random Lyarrah vids but I'm pretty sure I've missed something in S3 so If anyone can point me to that I'd appreciate it)
If you want context for who and what Alice is, what their personality is like, and/or how they came to be, this playlist should be a starting point! I'll also do my best to keep this up to date.
Do bear in mind that Zloy has a habit of doing multiple things per video, So in a lot of cases the Alice bit might be right at the end or partway through, or they might show up at the start and vanish for the rest of the episode. Also bear in mind that Zloy's TB often has multiple storylines going on at once, this playlist doesn't contain all the context for a lot of those, and I'm not making more of these things.
And I still don't know what Chuck is.

there must be some confusion among researchers in the ancients sometimes using the word for moon to describe certain objects that caused large impact craters, despite having words for both asteroid and meteor.
The current working theory is that maybe whatever meteorite dropped on their heads was particularly moon-like, or maybe that the moon wasn't very visible at the time, so they thought the meteor was the moon.
Another theory is that only some areas had seperate names for 'moon' and 'meteor', while others just used the same, single word, or that the literal translation is something like 'giant space rock' and the words can be used relatively interchangably.
It's relatively a footnote, though. Most Ancient Language scholars are too busy tring to figure out how this one language is basically the same regardless of where on the planet it is.
Africa and Japan should not be speaking the same language in 107 BCE for god's sake.

last player!au: something i’ve been thinking about, are other smps, minecraft series or content creators canon in this au? like, we know that ’hermitcraft’ as a communtity was seen as very prevalent in player culture, but are there other civilizations beyond hermitcraft that were recorded? is hermitcraft an exception because the universe loves it? and if not, then when nobody writes the history, who will be remembered?
All SMPs are equally canon to the LPAU! As are all worlds in general. Big public servers? Small friend groups just messing around? That singleplayer world with the ugly box of a house made entirely of lapis lazuli ore which I made when I was like ten? They all exist, somewhere, in some form. Except superflats I'm not dealing with that logistic nightmare.
They probably aren't very intact, and are unrecognizable, but they did exist.
With SMPs, yes, the archeologists have uncovered a lot of old records, artifacts, ruins, etc. Their knowledge of these things is fragmented and incomplete, distorted because they don't know the full language and because they assume these people were more like Humans and less like minor gods, but hey. It's something.

(might be a bit of ask spam but I have Thoughts and Questions) So given the magical buildup in LPAU, would kids be born as Players at some point?
Well, if it is possible, it clearly hasn't happened yet! The Universe is more interestined in Respawning its hermits than in creating new Players.
Tumblr media
Crafting works fine! ...If you're a Player. Otherwise you gotta do it the long, difficult way. If you can do it at all. Golden apples aren't really accessible these days, for instance.
Tumblr media
No. Mending is kinda useless now, animals and ores no longer drop xp, you can't get any from fishing or smelting, etc. It's a pain in the ass for the hermits.
Tumblr media
The big issue with using elytra is, as always, the rocket problem. Sure, the hermits can glide around, but they need to get up in order to use it with any effectiveness, and that's tricky without rockets, especially in the forest. They could build elytra towers, but there's not really a lot of point? Because they're living underground?
and of course, getting sufficent gunpowder in this day and age is't really plausible. Humans tend to get weird about selling large quantities of explosives to strange, somewhat godlike cryptids that live in the forest.

Was rereading the Last Player AU, and noticed this. "The only remaining terraforming is the lava rivers in Ren’s base" what does that look like??? Is there just. A Trench? Or is there remaining lava? Or just volcanic rocks?
While there is still lava, it's no longer on the surface- that part cooled and hardened into various rocks, including pegmatite, peridotite, and granite. This is extremely confusing to geologists, because by all indication those rocks were formed by lava, and yet the rocks themselves are the kind that form as a result of very, very slow cooling? As in, rocks usually formed underneath the Earth's crust?? Not on top??? (Player-placed Nether lava is Built Different rdfchgvjhb).
In any case, the lava itself is in a signifigantly smaller volume, but it still sits at the bottom of the rivers carved for it, below the surface. These days it's used for easy geothermal electricity.
The power plant has to negotiate with the Australian Heritage Council every time they need to make major changes to the operation.

i've got strong lpau brainrot, so i wanted to make fanart and was wonder if there's an official design for anyone i could use as a ref? or is if just their normal mc skins? the only outfit described is the "black spider" outfit from the early bits
They generally just wear their usual clothes, yeah. Which can earn them some weird looks from the silly little humans, but that's hardly the only thing that earns them weird looks, so who cares?
Very occasionally they'll wear like, Normal Human Clothing™ if they're trying to be subtle, but that can vary depending on hermit and situation.

Sorry for the quiet lately! I have been depresssed and then my brain got taken over by Splatoon. Because Splatoon.
Seriously this series is so good you guys-
I love Deep Cut I love the Squid Sisters I love Callie I love the squid parties between matches I love Cap'n Cuttlefish's redesign I love the lockers I love the holo stickers I love Harmony I love Smallfry I love the story mode I love my New Agent 3 (her name is Ada) I love the music-
The only thing I'm sad about is the loss of all the Hero Weapons aside from the Hero Shot but it's still early days so I can cross my fingers and hope that the Hero Roller (My Beloved) will return.
And also Off the Hook. They'd better show up at some point.
(Also, my Switch friend code is SW-2868-5995-5471 if any of yall also have switches. Not neccesarily Sploon, just the switch :3)

ask #iforget for lpau because i do it when i remember
WATCHERS
watchers are, canonically, the audience! the current audience! in our time!
wait that leads to so many questions
does minecraft exist? do the people who are the mcyts exist but just use thrir actual names and don't make youtube?
HELP MY BRAIN WONT STOP
Watchers were a Pantheon of gods in the LPAU, and were never especially well-known or worshipped. The Evolution SMP was pretty much the only time they ever got involved in mortal business, and they honestly didn't really do that much, so the vast, vast majority of Playerkind just ignored them.
(There were a lot of Gods, back in those days; no one person could even document them all, let alone worship them. Players would generally pick one or two Gods, typically from the same Pantheon, whose Domains were involved with something relevant to their lives. Of course, this only applies to Players who worshipped at all.)
Like all Gods, they faded into nonexistence when magic disappeared.

Its Rayvee! She has a reference sheet! I didn't draw her clothes because I was too enamoured by WING! I accidentally deleted this post halfway through and now have to retype it!
-She has hands, I just hate drawing them and will avoid it as much as possible.
-Said hands have pads on the palms but no beans, due to her claws taking up the traditional bean real estate.
-Her wings are the same colour as her underbelly, but they're slightly translucent so I think the pink bg is messing it up a lil
-She also has a mouth! It's not really visible if it's not opened, but it does exist.
-She's got two 'ribs' on her neck and three on her torso. How far the external spine gets down her tail depends on how much of it I can be bothered to draw.
-As a phantom hybrid, she's honestly in kinda a weird place biologically. She's... undead? Kinda? She doesn't really FEEL undead, but then again, she doesn't actually know what 'being alive' would feel like??
-She's also a reptile, because nobody can prove to me phantoms aren't reptilian and I say so.
-That scar on her chest appears to be from a Wither, which is odd since Withers don't attack phantoms, and Ray can't remember where she got it, either. She's kinda just always had it. Ah well, it's not important...probably.
-She currently lives in a singleplayer world. She wants to venture out onto servers, but also it's very overwhelming and she doesn't know where to start looking for one. No this isn't me projecting pffft why would you think that please help

For the ask game: 40 since poetry is pretty neat. If that's veto'd then 32 because God some fanfiction has lines tht just slap
Ask game
32. What is a line from a poem/novel/fanfic etc that you return to from time and time again? How did you find it? What does it mean to you?
Call me basic, but I, like many people, love the End Poem.
Take a breath, now. Take another. Feel air in your lungs. Let your limbs return. Yes, move your fingers. Have a body again, under gravity, in air. Respawn in the long dream. There you are. Your body touching the universe again at every point, as though you were separate things. As though we were separate things.
40. Please share a poem with me, I need it.
Poems come when poems come. I do not control the poem. HOWEVER! I did write a poem for my Flight Rising clan, which I never shared here.
Welcome to our clan, my friend It must have been a long flight You can rest your wings here, until the dawn comes Unless you’d rather the darkness of night? Here, we can promise you’ll be safe Breathe, and sleep, and dream gentle dreams; This Clan has no plan to harm any other No ends to justify any means Tell us the tales of your journey Here, ‘neath the glittering stars Listen to the clanmates; we all have our stories Members hatched in nests both near and out far Our first clan in the reaches was destroyed; A battle for dominance- we were in the way Few members survived, fleeing the fight To Carrion Canyon two made their way We carved out a place in the striped sandstone We fought and bled to rebuild our lair We made a home, but felt lost in sanded wastes We talked, turned, took to the air We found a safe haven in Hoverview Vale So high above even the clouds We found our old clanmates, healthy and well At least, those who escaped the war's shroud So here, my friend, come rest, and eat Come hear what we each have to say The dragons ‘neath that great Oak have many a tale Perhaps you could help one on their way? We care little, if any, for born elements You’ll find ev’ry eye colour here We have places to rest for every breed and flight And as you do you’ll have no need to fear All we ask of you to do your own part To hunt or to work at our side And when it comes time for yourself to depart We’ll let you go with a pack and a smile Welcome to our clan, my friend You must have flown a long way But, for now, rest your weary wings You’re safe in the Clan of the Moonlit Rays

ask game 28. Who is the most delightful character you’ve ever written? Why?
Ask game
Ooooh... delightful. That one's tricky, because wwhile I enjoy and have fun with most characters I write (wouldn't do it otherwise), the exact vibes of delightful are different, yanno? It's more... soft and innocent. Fluffy. And I... okay, I'm not sure? If that properly fits my characters? In general?
...Maybe Fredbear?

1 and 5 ask game?
Ask game
1. What font do you write in? Do you actually care or is that just the default setting?
I write in a font called Gabriela! It's fun, it's curly, and it is very much not the default option. It looks like this:
Tumblr media
(That's just me figuring out my worldbuilding, it's a work in progress. Don't worry abt it too much)
5. Do you have any writing superstitions? What are they and why are they 100% true?
-Writing in Gabriela increases creativity. That's just how it is
-Poetry can only be written in specific circumstances. I do not know what these circumstances are.
-No planning, only making shit up as I go
