Have an Artfight attack I made for my friend! He unfortunately doesn't have a tumble so I can't tag him but I highly recommend checking out his YouTube channel! He has some awesome animations and will be getting a new one out relatively soon!

Conflicting Lives- Chapter 2: Meetings and a Late Night Meal

Word Count: 1477

The meeting was… interesting, to say the least. Scythe had barely made it to the Agency building in time, and when he did he was exhausted from the running and teleporting it took to get there. Spore was waiting to make sure everyone got there in time, and held the door open for Scythe as he walked through.

“Good, everyone’s here.” Voidling said after Spore closed the door to the meeting room. It seemed as though all major heroes from all five cities were gathered in that meeting room. Some of them, like Hotguy and Stratos, he knew from elsewhere. Others he knew from missions and general public services.

“There’s been more villainous activity around the North-Western Hermiton areas,” iWork pointed to the area in the map on the large round table. “Witnesses have noticed more frequent appearances of Ender, Tanuki, and Earth in the areas of the crime, though reports of seeing Earth have lessened in the last few weeks.” he continued.

Scythe looked around the table, making short eye contact with Joel and Scar, but made sure to look at a few more people to not seem too suspicious. Admittedly, he and Joel had been out more often as college and other work got stressful.

Voidling spoke next, “I originally thought of Just increasing night hour patrols and monitorization in the area, but I’ve come up with a different plan that I would like to run by you all.” Leaning forward, he continued,

“I’ve gotten a deal with a few of the largest and most credible Informatives throughout all of our cities. They have agreed to do what they can, and get us any information about the routes and inside information on Ender and Tanuki, but it is a very expensive deal.” By the time he was done talking, his brows were close together in deep thought.

“Does anyone have any other ideas or anything they would like to ask about this plan?” iWork asked the group after a few more moments of silence.

There was a good five to ten seconds of silence and awkward looks around when finally someone seemed to speak up. “How do we know if we can trust the Informatives to give us correct information? They may be the most credible out there, but that doesn't mean they won't provide false information if they get a higher buyer, right?”

Everyone turned towards Cuteguy. After a few more seconds of silence, The Sheriff spoke up. “I think I understand where he’s coming from. Most of these guys work for money or some sort of trade right? How can we be sure that someone else won't come around and out-bid us in a way?” He finished with a look around the large, central table, his gaze stopping at Voidling and iWork.

The two looked at each other, then back at The Sheriff and the rest of the heroes. After what felt like a few moments too long, Voidling finally spoke, “I see where you’re coming from--” he looked at The Sheriff and Cuteguy, “--both of you. There is no way to know for sure, and that is exactly why I wanted to call all of you here so we may discuss this together. I don’t have much more information to give you guys, but does anyone have any questions they would like to ask?”

Scythe definitely had questions, but he only asked one of them. “If I may, who are the informatives? I’ve done my own research in the past about these informatives, and I have some knowledge that might help. Like for instance, they usually refer to themselves as Informative Operators, or IOs for short. 

They talk to eachother alot too, and have this sort of network between everywhere and everyone to make sure they all have the latest news, in a way.” He realized he trailed off a bit, and looked up to see everyone looking at him as both surprised and impressed.

Obviously, he knew this not because of research, but because of his own friends, although the people who don't know already don't need to find out.

“That… is actually really useful, thank you Lux.” Voidling finally said. “Our current ‘IO’s that have provided themselves available to us are Storyteller, Slab, Snowfall, and The Above. I have also done my own bit of research, though clearly not as much as Lux, and have found that they are known to be some of the most timely and trustworthy providers.”

All of the gathered heroes discussed amongst each other for a few minutes longer, and an endpoint was reached. Voidling would ask each IO if they would be able or willing to gather the information that they are looking for, and in turn they would each get paid handsomely.

Scythe did have a little bit of anxiety about this agreement, though he did do well to not show it to the other heroes. Two of the named IOs are close friends of his, and another is one of Joel’s partners. He wondered how Joel reacted to his partner being named as a detective of sorts for a case on himself, and made a mental note to ask him next time they saw each other outside of the Agency.

It was around 2pm when Scythe had finally gotten back to his dorm room, and he felt like he could sleep for a decade. He had exhausted himself getting to the meeting, had to still put up his full illusion for roughly 3 hours, then had to travel back across all of Hermiton to get back to his dorm room. Getting back took almost an hour and half by itself since he was so exhausted.

By the time he got to the city border of Cursia and Hermiton, his illusion was completely gone. He still had about a 20 minute walk from the border to the campus, and another 10 from the campus entrance to his dorm room. He expected to meet Ella as he walked in the door, and wasn’t surprised when he walked in and saw her sitting on the couch, turned towards the door to see who was coming in.

Scythe tiredly smiled at her as he closed the door behind him, and he almost lost his balance as he walked to the couch, though he would never admit it himself. Ella looked at him with worry in her eyes as he sat down and asked, “Are you alright? And don't tell me yes, we both know you aren’t.”

“Then why ask if you already know?” Scythe complained. “I was exhausted by the time I got there, had to hold up for hours, then had to come back while still being exhausted. Take a wild guess as to how I’m doing right now.” Even though his words and tone sounded harsh, him and Ella both knew that he didn’t mean it in a rude way.

Instead of saying anything back, Ella simply put Scythe's head on her shoulder and draped her arm across his shoulder, bringing him into a half-hug, half-cuddle pose. Scythe simply took a deep breath and leaned into the embrace.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was around 11pm when Scythe woke up, and he hadn't even realized he fell asleep. He groaned as he sat up on the couch and looked around, finding Ella still asleep on the couch. He realized by the way she was lying that he must’ve fallen asleep on top of her or leaned against her, and he kissed her forehead before getting up completely. Grabbing a blanket, he made sure to softly drape it over her to keep her warm in the chilly dorm room.

Then his stomach growled. And he realized he didn't eat anything other than a very rushed and incomplete breakfast. “Shit…” Scythe cursed quietly to himself.

Making his way to the small kitchen, he opened the fridge and took out some eggs, and pancake mix from the pantry. He tried to be as quiet as possible as he started making pancakes and eggs as a late night meal, but I mean come on. How quiet can you realistically be?

It wasn't very long after he turned on the stove and got the pancakes started that he heard Ella start to stir. He turned around to see her sitting up and rubbing her eyes, trying to get rid of the sleepiness.

“Good morning sleepyhead. You up for a midnight snack?” Scythe asked as he turned back to the stove. She chuckled

“That's rich coming from you, who basically passed out on me as soon as you leaned over. But yeah, that sounds great actually.” she replied, standing up from the couch and walking over to Scythe.

“Sounds good. Could you start the eggs for me? It shouldn't be much longer until I have enough pancakes done.” he asked her, and she nodded and grabbed a pan to start the eggs. The next 2 hours flew by, and after the pair were done eating, they both went to bed, for real this time.

(AN: Scar and Joel are both heroes, and their aliases are Hotguy and Stratos, respectively)

will people hear me out on Jimmy/Tango/Skizz...

Tango is hard at work figuring out his redstone, forgetting to eat lunch or dinner in the process, and can only be pulled away by his two dumbass boyfriends physically carrying him away.

Jimmy gets aches in his wings often but luckily he's got Skizz, the master of taking care of others, and Tango, the walking heat pack, to look after him. Tango massages the wings to give him warmth while Skizz cleans and preens them for him.

They're all obsessed with PDA so you can often find them draped over each other, carrying one another, or making out in an alleyway. A small group of other Lifers made a bingo game of the different activities they find them doing in public. Joel always wins, much to his distress.

Technically Jimmy isn't allowed into Hermitcraft, but if Skizz keeps sneaking him in by covering him with his wings and all they do is hide in various bases to cuddle, well, there's no harm in it.

Sometimes Skizz gets a little down about something or other and it's up to the other two to help him. Jimmy and Tango, both awful with emotions, mostly just try to make him laugh. It always works.

They don't cuddle in any particular position, they just all flop onto a bed and entangle every limb imaginable until they're effectively a big ball of yarn.

Jimmy likes picking up Tango and flying him around. Skizz likes picking up Jimmy, who is holding Tango, and flying them both around.

if you have any more headcanons for them please do tell me. they are my dumbasses

Conflicting Lives Character Design: Sam/Spindle

Sam's chaarcter reference/design sheet for Conflicting Lives!\

This art does not belong to me. It belongs to Moondropgrape2, who is also the owner of this character and a close friend of mine.

Name: Sam Age: 18 Pronouns: He/Him Species: Spider Role: Villain - Defense, Offense Hero/Villain Name or Alias: Spindle Abilities/Powers: Size Manipulation, Multiple Appendages, Enhanced Speed, Night Vision, Surface Scaling, Web Production Motivations: Sam went through his highschool years fascinated by the villain of Esempy. When a new, young, and seemingly incredible powerful villain emerged, his attention was immediately caught. Before long, the media decided that this new villain’s name would be Nebula, courtesy of their costumes' dark colors, speckled with white dots that looked like stars in a galaxy. Very quickly, Nebula became a hyperfixation of sorts of Sam’s. When he graduated highschool and went to college at Survan University, he met a kind man in his Junior year in his Biology class. This man’s name was Scythe, and about halfway through his first semester, Scythe had invited Sam over to his shared apartment-style dorm he lived in with his partner, Ella. During this visit, Sam went on a hyperfixation rant about villains, and mainly about Nebula. Partway through this ramble, Sam noticed Scythe and Ella looking at each other and back at Sam with amusement in their eyes. When Sam questioned the pair on what was wrong, Scythe simply stated: “I’m pretty sure I can trust you with this information, but I’m Nebula.” Sam stared in shock at Scythe, causing the pair to burst into laughter. After recovering from the shock, Sam asked Scythe if he would be willing to take him under his wing and teach him how to be a villain. The rest is history.

Extra Notes: - Sam has a cat named Spotts who lives with him in his dorm room - Sam does have 4 more arms on his back, he just always hides them under his cloak

A little sneak peek for the next Conflicting Lives drawing of none other than the Tango of the Tek variety!

It's not long before 2am as I post this so I pray that I'll get a decent amount of sleep for work lol but enjoy the teaser!

"What you SEE is the void BEYOND"

Notes and drawing process below cut :D

I had a lot of fun drawing this! I got inspo from a moment in Grians most recent Hermitcraft video of the tour of the server when he was visiting Bdubs and couldnt pass up the ooprotunity (view clip here)

I had like a week where I couldn't work on it though after getting the sketch done bc I wasn't home and couldn't draw but I'm really proud of how it turned out!

Drawing Process:

I am realizing now that I apparently never took a screenshot of the flat color- oh well

My Commissions are OPEN!!

HI! I currently have 10 open commissions slots! I'm trying to get some more money saved up while I look for a job near my college, as I haven't been able to find one quite yet. Because of this, I am opening a 15% off all commissions until Dec 31st! Click here to view what commissions I offer and see the example art pieces!

Welcome in Blaze! Blaze is my own take on a Villain version of the Tango of the Tek variety!

This is also the final art piece of this post and the result of this poll I did a while ago! I'm really liking this little series too! Not only is it helping me to draw more, but with each one, I'm also trying to do something a little different to get better at using bases so much. Who knows, by the time I'm done drawing everyone maybe I won't need to use bases anymore than just an inspo.

Anyways have the art process, from base to final!

I hope you've been enjoying this little journey with me as well!
