*this is a work in progress, updates will occur sporadically as I find motivation in drawers and under my bed*
A guide to my fantasy worldbuilding alternate universe built around the Hermitcraft, Empires, Evolution, and Life Series SMPs.
Questions are always welcome, and my ask box is open!
The elevator pitch:
The sun rises, and the moon rises, and the sun sets, and the moon sets, all between the Four Horizons of the world. One to each cardinal direction, and each with it’s own continent: Equinox to the North, Solstice to the south. Sunrise to the East, Sunset to the West. Civilizations rule the Land of the Sunrise, the Birthplace of Day and Night. Empires rule the Land of the Sunset, the Resting Place of Day and Night. Hermits and Emperors make peace and war, trade and explore, live and die and make merry in this First Dimension. The Second, the Nether Below, and the Third, the End Above, are lands of danger ripe for discovery. The lands to the north and south, however… who knows what’s over there, leagues past the vanishing point of plain sight?
More in-depth stuff below the cut! Fair warning, ‘tis very long.
The Horizon to Horizon AU, or more simply Horizons AU, is an alternate universe fusion containing the characters within the Hermitcraft SMP, Empires SMP, and Evolution, or Evo SMP. It is a high-to-mid fantasy setting, with some sci-fi elements when it comes to redstone.
- Among the mountains of everlong, a story about the Stronghold War (3,451 words, unfinished, on hiatus)
- Cracking like a dry branch in a westward wind, a story about newcomers and old debts (24,980 words, finished!)
- A kindling, of sorts, fluff and banter and all that jazz (3,423 words, unfinished)
- Legend has it that the moss grows on the north side of the trees, or, 2023 Hermittober Chapters, a story about crime and conspiracy (12,875 words, finished but I haven’t uploaded them all yet)
- Give me back my heart, you wingless thing, a story about prophecies and past tragedies (25,025 words, unfinished, a good ways along, currently working on this one)
- We’ll sing a song of days gone by, a story about the forgotten history that ties Horizons to the Saints of Eyes and Ears (unpublished, hammering it out in private at the moment)
Between the Horizons, there are two major groups: the Hermits of the Sunrise, and the Emperors of the Sunset. This AU was made during Season 9 of Hermitcraft and Season 2 of Empires, and more specifically was born from a question that came into my mind during the crossover event: What would happen if the Hermits were tasked with ruling nations, like Emperors?
The emperors are pretty much doing the same thing they usually do: ruling empires. But the hermits are split into two main camps: those active in the crossover, who I arbitrarily chose to rule their own civilizations (as having a civilization for each hermit would be… some nonsense), and those not active in the crossover, who live among the civilizations, but do not rule. A full list of Hermits and who they are in alphabetical order follows:
- BdoubleO: The Lord Bee Double Oh of the Moss Throne, moss-faerie, ruler of Livingstone
- cubfan135: The Sovereign Cub Fan Voidstars of the Red Rock Crown, half-vex infected with sculk, ruler of Climbing Spires
- Docm77: The King Doc Mk-77 of the Deepfang Crown, goat-folk-faerie, ruler of The Maw
- ethoslab: Wanderer and freelance redstone technomancer, ambiguous canine-folk
- FalseSymmetry: The Lady False Symmetry of the Darkwood Throne, human(?), ruler of Umbra
- GeminiTay: The Queen Gemini Taylor of the Crown of Needles, deer-faerie, ruler of Evergreen
- Grian: The Sitter Grian Sunset of the Dusk Throne, parrot-folk, ruler of Sunset Coast
- hypnotizd: Mercenary and eyes-for-hire, bat-folk
- impulseSV: The Emperor Impulse Esvee of the Emerald Throne, cat-folk, ruler of The Labyrinth
- iskall85: The Vice-Mayor Iskall Eighty Five, wolf-folk, second-in-command of Iceberg Metropolis
- iJevin: The Crown Prince Eye Jevin of the Clearwater Crown, thinking slime, ruler of The Watering Hole
- joehills: The Administrator Joe Hills of the Other Throne, just a guy, ruler of Elsewhere
- Keralis: The Mayor Keralis of the Blue Ice Crown, wolf-folk, ruler of Iceberg Metropolis
- MumboJumbo: Chief Engineer and Technomancer of Technicolor City, plant-faerie
- PearlescentMoon: The High Priestess of the Throne of Histories, llama-folk, ruler of Great Acacia
- rendog: The King Ren Dog of the Crown of Vines, wolf-folk, ruler of The Tangle
- Skizzleman: Official cross-ocean diplomat between the Hermit Civilizations and the Empires of the Sunset, parrot-folk
- Stressmonster: Wandering trader of information from the little creatures of the world, butterfly-fae
- TangoTek: The King Tango Tek of the Basalt Throne, third-blaze-third-stray-third-human, ruler of The Neverglades
- VintageBeef: Just your local neighborhood innkeeper, tavern-keeper, and quest giver, cow-folk
- Welsknight: Trusted knight and right hand man to Bee Double, human
- xisumavoid: The Commander X of the Dragon Crown, living void?, ruler of The Dragon’s Spine
- Zedaph: Freelance wandering inventor and mad scientist, half-sheep-half-chicken-folk
- ZombieCleo: The Duchess Cleo of the Everfrost Throne, zombie, ruler of Permafrost Springs
And the Emperors of the Sunset, too:
- fwhip: The Duke Fwhip of the Icicle Throne, polar-bear-folk, ruler of Glacier Way
- Jimmy Solidarity: The Trailblazer Jimmy of the Throne of Dust, horse-folk, ruler of Frontier
- Joey Graceffa: The Lord Protector of the Petal Crown, sniffer-folk, ruler of Paradise Mountain
- Katherine Elizabeth: The Maiden Queen Katherine Elizabeth of the Powder Snow Throne, human, ruler of Skytouch
- LDShadowLady: The Lady-Defender Lizzie Shadow-Lady of the Glowing Crown, firefly-faerie, ruler of The Waterways
- MythicalSausage: The Guardian-Emperor Mythical Sausage of the Underthrone, human, ruler of The Thicket
- Pixlriffs: The Emperor Pixl Rifra of the Verdant Crown, parrot-folk, ruler of The Emerald Lands
- Scott Smajor: The Emperor Scott S. Major of the Gilded Crown, half-husk, ruler of Solis
- SmallishBeans: The King Joel S. Beans of the Ivory Crown, goat-folk, ruler of Undermoon (an Emperor in this AU)
- Shubble: The Great Librarían Shubble Shade-Stander of the Copper Throne, fox-folk, ruler of Great Aurora
- TheOrionSound: The Marcher-Lord Oli Sounder of the Crown of Grasses, llama-folk, ruler of Cross-Country
Also kicking around are the members of the Evolution SMP, who are not hermits or emperors, most of whose characters are not entirely fleshed out as of writing. Their descriptions will be updated later, and all are parrot-folk:
- MiniMuka, technomancer
- InTheLittleWood, diplomat and brother to Grian
- Nettyplays
- bigbst4
- SalemsLady, Sensor Systems Operator
- Tomohawk
- systemzee
- Taurtis/Joeyish, Shrieker Systems Operator
The Saints of Eyes and Ears AU is… sort of its own thing, and sort of a part of Horizons. It is a retelling of the events of the Life Series SMP through a semi-historical, semi-legendary lens as the cosmology/history of a religion known as Livolutionism. It is mostly based on the history-legends of Christianity, more specifically Catholicism, as that religion is the one I am most familiar with.
The elevator pitch:
In the time before time, when the world was small and the gods were close, an endless line of descendants of descendants lived and died under a sky full of eyes. Saints and sinners, lovers and enemies, bitter rivals and soulbound comrades have lived a thousand lives beneath the watchful gaze of the angels above, and demons below. But what an angel or devil is up to interpretation, as are their opaque intentions.
This will probably get its own post later down the line.
The events of the various installments of the life series are collected into various books, which are self-contained tales that each follow a specific Saint, the winner of that particular installment, and the world and people that grow and flourish and crumble and die around them. The books and their Saints are as follows:
- The Book of Thirds, surrounding the life of the Saint Grian of the Desert Sun and the Red Winter War
- The Book of Lasts, surrounding the life of the Saint Scott of the Endless Stars and the Trickery of the Boogymen
- The Book of Doubles, surrounding the life of the Saint Pearl of the Shadowed Moon and the Bonds of the Soulmates
- The Book of Limits, surrounding the life of the Saint Martyn of the Stained Mars and the Chaos of the Clock
- The Book of Secrets, surrounding the life of the Saint Scar of the Blooming Earth and the Keeper’s Whispered Words
- The Real Book, a disputed scripture, surrounding the life of the Saint Cleo of the Fading Comet and the Repeating Lives
- The Book of Cards, surrounding the life of Saint Joel of the Turning Wheel and the Luck of the Draw

DESPITE IT ALL, WE HAVE EACH OTHER
no matter how much hopelessness they corner us into, they cannot stop us from taking care of each other.
somewhere to start today is by helping nada, who is less than 40% of the way towards her goal.
https://gofund.me/e06f31d3
please continue to share mutual aid, whether its in your own neighborhood or across the sea. please continue to find both what's urgent and what's beautiful in the world.
thank you always, take care.
Going with the "Grian is the one who designed this game as opposed to the others" headcanon, it makes you think about the superpowers he gave his friends, how they were all laughing and having fun in the beginning, and that was intentional. It goes to show that even when forced to design the death game his friends are put through (a punishment for trying to usurp the Watchers time and time again), he still cares. They all know he's the one who designed this game, and he hopes they realize the little mercies he's giving them.
He gives Cleo the power to bring people back from the dead, just so he can have a chance to see his best friend again.
He gives Pearl the power to fly, and hopes she appreciates having her wings back, if only for a short time.
Jimmy gets to go invisible because Grian knows the Watchers aren't happy with the curse being broken. He wants to protect him.
As for Martyn? Grian doesn't really know a lot about what's going on with him and the Listeners, but he might as well try to strengthen that connection in the little ways he can without arising suspicion.
He says it himself in the beginning, "let's not forget this is a PVP series," but it sounds hollow even to his own ears. It's pandering to the watching eyes, making them think the lighthearted fun is all unintentional.
He falls out of the sky with the wings he gave to Pearl, and he wonders if the Watchers are starting to catch on.
part 2 of the modern au: Gem and the Scotts!
Well you know who the favourites are
happy (very late) birthday empires smp!!
(this ended up taking thirty hours and forty minutes)
close ups and alternate versions below!
Even if the strike is over, don't suddenly go silent. Every moment you aren't speaking up or doing something is more Palestinians being murdered and having their land and their culture bulldozed and silenced. They deserve liberation and the freedom to live in the land their ancestors have ALWAYS occupied. Keep speaking out, keep being angry, and keep fighting to help someone your age who don't have the privilege to even see this post, to use this site, or to eat the dinner or be sitting on the bed you're currently allowed to as you see this. They and their families are dying.
Neutrality is NOT helpful or productive. Neutrality is siding with the oppressors, regardless of your words. Neutrality is standing back because a matter "doesn't concern you", "isnt your place", or you "dont like politics", which allows innocent civilians to be brutalized and murdered and starved. Talk to friends and family. Stop turning to celebrities to provide you with facts and opinions on the situation. Take accountability and action for yourself amidst this crisis
There is still hope. Say it out loud. Palestine will be free. The Palestinian people will celebrate their culture and heritage with each other. We will love and be loved. Do not fall into the trap of despair.
welp
//I’m only talking about the characters
The Dream SMP actually ended with Tommy and Tubbo forcing Dream and Punz to revive Ranboo. Jack gets his closure too and becomes friends with Tommy and Tubbo again. Punz and Dream gets trapped in the end forever. The syndicate throws a big party in the arctic and Wilbur returns for it. Micheal grows up happy and barely remembering the time of pain his dads suffered.
Tommy, Tubbo and Ranboo sit on the bench together while the sun sets, listening to cat. Then Tommy and Tubbo set out to build L’Moonberg, a place where people can be happy.
So Elon bought Twitter. I'm honestly not gonna push away Twitter newcomers, but if you're in the MCYT fandom you need to understand that the social etiquette and expectations and culture here are very different than over on Twitter. So as someone who's been an active part of mcytblr for two years now, I'd like to offer some thoughts and advice!
One: Shipping. MCYT communities on Tumblr have always tended to lean more tolerant towards shipping of roleplay characters due to the idea that this is a space for fans primarily. The creators who visit or actively use Tumblr like Eret and Martyn understand that this is a fan space primarily, and don't bother us for the content we make, and we don't bother them with it.
The number one worst thing you could do is share shipping content with creators who have not asked for it. This is a huge social faux pas here. Secondly, on the other end — writing callout posts for shippers here isn't gonna fly. Even for RPF shippers and people who may ship boundary-breaking pairings, our default is usually to not engage with these people rather than publicly call them out. It makes the space a healthier place for everyone and makes it much less likely that CCs may come across content they are uncomfortable with. It's also considered a social faux pas to ask CCs their opinions and boundaries on shipping, since that's bringing it up when they didn't ask!
Speaking of shipping, people typically don't mind you maintagging ship content so long as you also tag it as shipping so people can filter it. For Hermitcraft the tag is hermitshipping, Life Series has trafficshipping, and the lesser known DSMP tag is dsmpshipping.
Two: Reblogging. This is something a lot of newer users tend to struggle with. There is no algorithm on Tumblr, at least not one that works, so content creators rely on you reblogging their work in order for it to spread. If you see a fic or piece of art you enjoy, please reblog it! I often reblog art for MCYT fandoms I'm not even personally in.
Three: Tagging (again). There are a wide variety of tags you can use for your content! The most common tags you'll want to use are "mcyt" and "mcytblr", and any relevant series, pairing/group or character/CC names. However, please don't use the tag "minecraft"! Minecraft has an entirely separate fanbase on Tumblr that we co-exist with and have some overlap with, but don't necessarily appreciate seeing MCYT content in their tags. Any tag with "minecraft" in it is also a no-no, such as "minecraft youtubers" or "minecraft championships". Please use shorthands!
Four: Opinions on MCYT drama tend to be very different here than they are on Twitter. For instance, you should assume by default that most bloggers here either like or are completely neutral towards "problematic CCs" like Schlatt. But also, we tend to be very against spreading anything originating from leakers, and we also tend to not be fond of making posts "holding CCs accountable" for things they did years ago. Generally, mcytblr prefers to be a more drama-free community, and if you do engage in discourse, many would appreciate you tagging it as such!
Five: CCs do not need you to babysit them.
Generally speaking you will see a lot of jokes and memes on mcytblr that wouldn't fly on Twitter, and it is generally looked down upon to try to speak on behalf of CCs personal boundaries — they are grown adults, and you are a stranger! Calling out or harassing people for "breaking boundaries" is mostly just going to get you looked at strangely, especially if you don't have a source for your claims. Most of us will stop doing something if asked, but we don't need stans to tell us to! CCs can speak for themselves when uncomfortable.
Six: Most mcytblr blogs don't want CC notices. There are quite a few CCs who are active here, but the community is chill with them as they don't tend to talk about us elsewhere and allow us to do our own thing. We do not, however, like encouraging CCs to join Tumblr or to follow us or reblog our posts — many people here actually prefer being out of sight of CCs and many of us consider it rude to seek out attention from CCs outside of sending the occasional ask.
Please treat CCs kindly and don't gawk at them like you just saw a celebrity on the street — the ones who are active here are just Tumblr users like the rest of you! Seeing Eret reblog fanart or respond to an ask isn't something to point out.
While we joke about Twitter users joining, we don't actually have anything against you guys, it's just that we've built a very different community here and ask that you respect it and the etiquette we've come to establish! Thank you, and I hope you enjoy your stay on mcytblr ^_^
Fading Lights is so so important to me I can’t stop thinking about that last chapter, the themes, the ending, everything was so good I’m spinning it around in my head like a microwave

Mcc In State of Faces! Lets go!
Okay, so we all know Scott, the king, the myth, the legend himself, helps Shelby with her quaint and lovely boutique on the strips of an abandoned mall. He's living his best life and is a neat ol' designer and artist and sometimes vlogger. But let's pan over to this guy named Sterling.
Sterling. Yup. If you don't know, that's Scott. Hi Scott, how's your hero biz?
You see, not only is Sterling a renowned hero among the city, as famous as a celebrity and loves to act that way. Well, he's a great host, too, it seems.
Well, Host in the word that he runs a gameshow thats more akin to the Olympics. That's right! Sterling runs MCC, the monthly program hyped by everyone, and participated by civillians of choice!
Most, if not almost all, the participants are actually heroes, vigilantes, even villains and the occasional loyal civillian who can take no bullcrap from this place. You're rumored to be a villain? well are you a good sport that's the question. You a teenager? just make sure your school or guardian is aware of this or if Sterling MCC Gamehost will side eye your minor status if you're good for the views and willing to throw it down. The entire place is also regulated and they ban muse usage during the games.
They're all shuffled into colors, and a bunch of the city's major points and areas are used for the special games.
Oh, but How about Scott? He can't be a known player as Scott Major, but the host on the thrown as Sterling! WELL HE CAN, ACTUALLY! Thanks to the Noxcrew and multiple stage-crafted muse users here to cover as Sterling as Scott is down there having the time of his life trying not to fail horrendously and boost his friends.
Also, no one in the crowd know eachother's secret identities. Civillian identities, only! Sterling made it very clear that each one of them has that right and will be booted from the best gameshow night ever if they decide to be lil dox weasels.
Fun times for everyone!
Let's do this, then!

Just dear god
...
(Long tambling below and more nonsense thoughts)

-------------------------------------------------------
On one hand, STILL A POSSIBILITY FOR C!OWEN AND C!MAGIC TO RIP MY HEART OUT AND DESTROY MY EMOTIONS THANK GOD
FINALE PART ONE IN EIGHT DAYS LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO
But my god
c!Owen killed them all, he really, he actually got away with all of them. He isolated them all and watched them all die, made sure that no one would ever find them. And just god, he actually killed them all.
He has done it.
He destroyed his home, bashing in crates and the fencing. Scattering all his things and letting vines overgrow. He had no home, there was no home. He let his thoughts consume him, laughing as he spiralled down and down and down and down.
He wanted it all to end, he wouldn't accept anything other than one of them to die after this. He was tired and if it ended with him, so be it, but he couldn't let himself live and Krow live as well. He wanted an ending of some sort to a war that ended long ago that he KEEPS FIGHTING WHEN HE DOESN'T NEED TO AND I-
*sobs*
And just that little part where we heard his father's voice, and he jumped back (probably hit himself), gooooodddd lord I feel unwell about that part. Dear god.
And yet
Puddy
He didn't kill Puddy, he still cares he cares maybe I dunno he just-
He told Puddy to stay in the second clearing and he didn't butcher him like we thought. Didn't offer up Puddy to Guts. He didn't discard all his attachments, he let Puddy go and live on in the ruins of another clearing. And told the little piglet who had been his sole comfort, who saw his little mistakes, hear his little poems and rants and pains. A companion who saw Owen in those long hours of writing down a will that no one will probably read. To them, Owen told the little piglet that he shielded from Krow's dagger, he told Puddy to stay away...
He didn't discard all his attachments.
I don't know how to feel anymore.
I'm fucking inconsolable just my god.
On one hand, c!Owen has always been on this road, a path in which he can't return from, he has been on it since he turned away from c!Apo, who he grieved and cried over, who haunted him for years in cherished memories. He was doomed when he told the tiefling to run back and he sealed his fate by ending Apokuna. The one person that carried more weight in his mind than anyone else had before he remembered.
And for Rasbi, he didn't even give a chance.
She never stood a chance.
And I don't know how much weight Graecie's words would hold. If she even wakes up in time, if she sees Owen and learns how much he has changed. If she will care enough to reach out after learning all he has done.
And Magic.
He used Magic and in the end, he betrayed her trust and he used her to kill. And she was never meant to be the one to save him, she would not be able to, I don't think.
I don't think there is anyone that could change his mind, on one walking in the maze or existing beyond its confines that could make him want to be redeemed. No one that could make him leave the hill collapsing on itself, step away from that ledgd, a cage filling up and drowning him.
I don't think anyone could convince him to save himself.
They wouldn't forgive him anyways, for good reason after all. He killed the demons and he deceived them all, he did the worst of them all really. Why save the monster that hurt them so much, who would only remind them and hurt them because he blinds himself and would deny he had done wrong.
Too much wrong.
He can't be saved and he won't allow himself to be saved.
I know
I know
...
But I am a fucking fool holding out, and even if Puddy is doomed to the maze burning them all, I don't care. Owen loves that goddamn pet and I can't help but see the Owen that loved once when he told Krow to leave him with Puddy. And I want him to stop, god I want him to want to change even if he sealed his fate and would be hated forever. I WANT HIM TO HEAL STILL I WANT HIM TO BREAK THE CYCLE
AND I HATE THAT I CAN'T SEE HIM DOING THAT
But still I want him to and I am clinging onto hope like a drunk fool.
I want the Owen that hesitated to hurt, the one that wanted them all to thrive, the one that would reassure his friends, who was a protector.
I miss him, goodness I miss him.
Because as much as I cheered on Owen and looked on for all he has done, he doesn't do it because he enjoys it, despite what he says.
He has hurt others and he lets himself stay hurt.
Killing Krow, the last of the demons in the clearing won't give him the peace he thinks it will let him have.
Even if he somehow hides it any longer, even if narratively someone wasn't going to probably find out what he has done, it will eat himself up inside.
It is a hollow victory that means nothing.
It was never was going to give him that closure he chased after for so long.
---
The closure he will never give himself, staying as he is. He was never going to get a happy ending, staying as he was.
And really that is what it comes down to, changing, recognizing truly what is done and the emptiness and that he sealed any chance of forgiveness from anyone left that cared.
It is the closest a person can get to being irredeemable. By refusing to change, over and over.
And would it matter, when there is no time left to change?
theres no way he’s not fucked up
ok hear me out. every fanfic can be graphed on this chart
