Stale blood caked Cleo's armor as she dragged herself through paradise. Gods below that sucked, she thought, that really sucked. They ignored the colorful birds that swooped overhead, disregarding the cloudless sky and brilliant sun that cast down gentle rays upon her green skin. What was the point of indulging in something that didn't exist?

“Death!” she called, a hoarse quality to her voice, clutching tighter onto Etho’s body as their army of the dead went onwards to protect them. “You— this wasn't what I wanted!

In participation of MCYTblr AU Fest Summer 2024 hosted by @mcytblraufest!

I feel incredibly lucky and honored that two(2) writers decided to pick up my niche af AU pitch! They knocked it out of the park with their fics, please check them out !!

He’d joked to Karl, back then, that he felt like a pet as much as a boyfriend— like an expensive teacup dog you carried around in a handbag, a well-behaved little creature that you taught about whiskey distilleries and then fucked until he cried. And he’d liked it, too. After all, he had it made, right? All his problems taken care of by a man who adored him, a sexy older guy with a nice big dick that worked and a mouth he knew how to use. When Schlatt first involved himself in arrangements for Quackity’s surgery, it had twinged a little bit sure, but mostly it had felt benignly inevitable. Schlatt demanded only the best for himself, and wasn’t that a good thing? The truth of it is, Quackity was never going to say “no.” The truth is, he never considered it. (or) Schlatt buys Quackity a fancy new dick. Schlatt’s not the only man Quackity wants to enjoy it with.

“Donor heart and relevant elements of autonomic nervous system fully connected in P3471,” the surgeon with her hands inside the woman said. “Doc?”
“Just a second… and there,” Doc said, pulling his hands free from S2077’s chest cavity. His gloves were stained thick with blood. “Donor heart fully connected in S2077. Give them the startup shock.”
He felt an icy cold electric shock run through him, and would have screamed, if he could control his own throat.
The heart monitor beeped to life.

Pearl and Scott wouldn’t be friends if they met under ordinary circumstances. They just bring out the worst in each other, for some reason. They’d probably be much happier apart.

Unfortunately, they didn’t meet under ordinary circumstances. They met when a medical experiment left them sharing their injuries with each other. With the same heart pumping in both of their chests, they don’t have much of a choice, do they?

Here's part one of my web weaves for @mcytblraufest! When I saw it was a reverse I just had to cook up a web weave for Smalletho in a Sentinel and Guide AU!!

It's only part one because my writers came out with absolute BANGERS of work which got me more brainworms thus more web weaves for each of them!

Check out Pancho's fic

And check out my anonymous writer beloved's fic

They are amazing and awesome and just the coolest writers. Their fics are so complementary to each other it's simply beautiful

Informal interest check!

I've been wanting to run some kind of fandom event for Jukebox Nights for a while, and I think I've finally come up with an idea that I'm interested in pursuing.

[For reference, a Jukebox night is a concept from the hermitcraft fandom around season six-ish. An artist would take a song and make an illustration based on the lyrics! The pictures were usually square to look like an album cover, but that's not a hard rule.]

The concept I came up with: a sprint-style event where all participants pick a song (with no two participants picking the same song), and they make their Jukebox night illustration. Once they've finished their art, they can either be done or they can make another to aim for a higher victory tier.

The tiers (work in progress):

  • Hit Single: Make one jukebox night
  • The EP: make four jukebox nights
  • A full album: make eight jukebox nights

The prize for completing higher tiers would be bragging rights and your name on the event blog's Hall of Fame.

@fearforthestorm Yes, it would multifandom! Since I'm not worried about matching people for a gift exchange or wrangling pinch hits for a big bang, participants are welcome to rep small mcyt, new mcyt, and even nigh-unknown mcyt. As long as it's Minecraft and it's videos, it's fair game.

Friends, my necromancer!Tango/grimreaper!Jimmy, Team Rancher modern with magic apocalypse AU, Graveyard Shift, for @mcytblraufest's Reverse Big Bang is here!

But wait there's more--go read chasing crimson written by @aliferous-ly, beta'd by @dibs2win, my fantastic team for aufest. If you love enemies to lovers, unlikely partnerships, and the power of soul-bound magic weapon contracts, this hilarious + dramatic 22.9k fic kicks off from this comic!

Jimmy Solidarity works for the esteemed god of Death, reaping lost souls and taking care of unsavory characters. He's recently finished his training, and is determined to do well on his first solo mission. Perhaps this "Tango" would be a good start. Only, the god of Death disappeared years ago, and Necromancer Tango Tek's long since discovered a way around dying. He can't say he enjoys Jimmy swinging through and killing him where he stands, though.

Thank you to my team for being as feral about this AU as I am, and kicking everything about it up to 110. I had so much developing this world with them!

Thank you to @onawhimsicot for helping me with the comic's dialogue, fixing my composition woes with "just add more smoke," and encouraging me to complete it in full color when I was running out of steam! They're also participating in aufest, so keep an eye out for their work!

Lastly, thank you to the aufest team for another wonderful event! I had a blast again, and was giggling kicking my feet at everyone's reactions during claims, I loved every single one of them. Graveyard Shift is definitely an AU I'm coming back to. As always, my askbox is open if you'd like to chat, and I'd love to be tagged if anyone makes anything <3

Grian doesn't have Ren's storytelling gift, but he can search for memories of artifacts to taunt the pirates with. A magic mirror with three wishes to grant, a mermaid's comb in the hoard of the dragon Kyto, a flower called a never-bloom that dances round the island — perhaps most tantalizing of all, a moonstone, tucked into the heart of the fairies' own pixie dust tree.
“How’s this, little fairy,” says the captain, leaning forward where he sits, elbows resting on his knees. His eyes are dark and clever, fixing Grian with a stare. "Win a bet with me, and I’ll let you have your choice — any piece of treasure on this ship, any one of them at all, is yours.”

alternative summary: grian makes bad decisions and gets horribly fucked up: the fic. (there will be a happy ending, dramatic rescue included, but oh my god.)

featuring, of course, a whole lot of convexian bc that's all my brain knows how to write anymore

this fic was written for the @mcytblraufest summer 2024 event, and is fully pre-written! the next 3 chapters will drop over the next 3 days!!

inspired by the beautiful art of @sarcasticcryingobsidian which is just- no words. so gorgeous. fills me with infinite whimsy fr and i have done my damnedest to capture that sense of whimsy in writing.

BBQ and Games at Hermit Hollow!

Heal your inner child with a hermitcraft pixie hollow au! I created this oil painting for the MCYTBLR AU Fest! @mcytblraufest

I have got two lovely writers for this event. Thank you to @these-godforsaken-halls for the main piece, "a rare talent indeed", and thank you to @corrundumcat for the treat, "BBQ and Games at Hermit Hollow"!

I was inspired by the aesthetics of childhood fairy nostalgia. When I was a kid, all I'd draw were fairies. It was fun and refreshing to revisit them.

As a challenge, see how many hermits you can spot! All the season 10 hermits are there. You can find where they are all located in the image description.

Dawn to dusk

The twins Pearl and Grian, touched by the heavens, visited a cave that led to an ancient city. (A prophet came to town, once, and looked into the future of the twins. He saw only darkness.)

Part 1: Dawn: Grian and Pearl investigate a creepy cave.

Surprise! I've written a third story for @mcytblraufest, this time based on art by the great @birdinthefog, whom you should definitely check out!

My contribution to @mcytblraufest! I created an au based off 2000s toy based shounen, like Yu Gi Oh, Beyblade, and Digimon. Jimmy's our protagonist who's come to Tango's shop to learn all about Hermit TCG, a card game so popular the world practically runs on it!

I got to work with two amazing writers who each did their own take on the concept!

Both are multi-chapter and will continue to update until the 9th, so keep an eye on them and here for more to come!
