Who Else Is Still Stuck In The Desert

don’t kill yourself because the internet is going to be really funny when Elon gets assassinated

I NEVER LEFT THE FREAKING DESERT

something genuinely insane about going somewhere and getting to feel “i had some of the worst years of my life here” and “i was loved here, once” simultaneously.

the sun, the stars, the moon, and mars

the earth, pluto, and that fcking car

-the watchers when joel won

joel did so well, winning in a proper blaze of glory like that— so fitting, especially after losing gem, his anchor. and his alliance with grian in the end was Killing Me. grian plain-faced telling him "you could win this," and saying he will give his life to joel? grian telling him "it's your turn."

i can't wait to see what grian was thinking before that final fight. he just kind of disappeared while joel was on an absolute rampage. and when they met back up for the final fight, he was actually fighting against joel, contrary to what he said before. maybe he realized that he knows joel, and joel would never be happy with a sacrifice. maybe he knows that because he knows what sacrifice did to him, way back when.

so he decided to fight, for joel's sake, and maybe his own, too. and when he died, he died falling. just like 3rd life.

This is so stupid, but I'm up late and do you guys think that any of grians allies in the life series have ever seen him interact with Scar and thought 'oh, there's a part of him that's never gonna be ours,'

Grian and Scar Wild life session 7 spoilers‼️

The fact the Scar followed Grian around pretty much all session. When Grian died the first time, Scar was the only one nearby who noticed, Gem and Cleo didn’t say anything until Scar said that Grian died. Then Scar immediately went to go find Grian at spawn. The G died again and what does Scar do?? FIND GRIAN. Later into the session, Scar couldn’t find Jimmy or Lizzie and he stared talking about how keeping alliances is hard, even though the Bamboozlers are a pretty reliable bunch, they have each others backs but Scar thinks that their alliance is weak? Or hard to keep?? To me it seems like ever since Grian gave him the mace he’s been distant to the Bamboozlers, not so noticeable that they question his allegiance but just enough that they aren’t together all the time like they were earlier in the season. The fact that Scar is gravitating to Grian is interesting, considering that they were mortal enemies a few episodes ago. When ever they work together one of them(Scar) ends up hurting and the other(Grian) alone. And yet, they still gravitate to each other like the Moon to the Ocean.

AHEHSHFJGJ THEY MAKE ME CRAZY

Scar was also successful in killing people that one thing Grian just couldn’t manage to do. I mean Scar got, what? 4 kills this session?? Grian got 1? 2 maybe, I just thought this was funny. ((Also Scar offering to kill people for Grian TWICE!?!? I’m losing my mind)

I am loving the Desert Duo healing arc, but I am going to sob when they eventually kill each other towards the end.

Grian screaming traitor at Mumbo and Skizz after they killed him just….Grian never left that desert and neither did I.

(Apologies for the word vomit I am losing my mind)

hiiiiiiiiiiii……. 🚦(WIP)

do you have any favorite hermitcraft fics i feel like you'd have some really good recs

Anon I hope I can help you, but please understand I mostly read life series fics and almost exclusively if they include Scar, so like most are scarian. (All relationship tags are in order of the most to least relevant imo)

A Trick Too Accidental to Name (link)

Relationships: Grian & Scar (mostly, Pearl is also there)

Status: Complete

Word Count: 19k

Basically, the Watchers think Scar is a devious little guy and they are spying on him and it's mega creeping him out. He also can't get a straight answer from Grian abt wtf is happening. Takes place Season 8. If you like this you should also check out Ad Astra (link) although that leans more life series imo

In Sickness and in Health (link)

Relationships: Grian/Scar

Status: Complete

Word Count: 8k

I'm gonna throw up just thinking about this fic. Basically Scar was kidnapped cuz Grian's a superhero and they needed to get to him, but it follows their recovery and the rebirth of the relationship following such a traumatic event. REALLY good. Please read it.

THE DIVORCE OF THE CENTURY (link)

Relationships: Grian/Scar (bg Etho/Bdubs)

Status: Complete

Word Count: 7k

If you are ever in the mood for a silly fic this is THE silly fic. It's treated a bit like crack and somehow that's what keeps everything feeling so in character. Genuinely such a delight. Oh uh also the plot is Scar and Grian get divorced. Kinda.

I think this is the best hermitcraft/life series superhero fic. And I went through a phase where I read a LOT of them. This fic is pretty slow on updates atm, (a few months in between at least) but there are updates!! And it is SO worth it!! As the author puts it "Scar saves the city’s most dangerous criminal, makes him his roommate, falls in love with him, and then also saves the world with him. In that order, with various setbacks along the way"

someone loved, never known (link)

Relationships: Pearl & Scar, Pearl & Grian, Pearl/Gem, Grian/Scar (also like, every single Hermit makes an appearance)

This fic has SO much to talk about. First of all, the premise is that Pearl has been grieving the loss someone she cannot remember (its Grian), and then she meets Scar and he is also experiencing it. So it mostly focuses on Pearl and Scar building their relationship as they try to discover who is missing from their lives and why. The relationship dynamics in this fic are SO good!!! I cannot stress that enough. I don't want to overwhelm the relationships bit because I'm trying to highlight the most important ones, but Pearl's dynamic with Impulse as well as Tango and Etho is really well done! And I'm struggling on where to place Gem/Pearl in terms of importance since it isn't super relevant to the premise, but it is such a good and natural relationship and uggggh you have to read this fic! As a Pearl & Scar lover is it to DIE for!

Five seems like a good number... so I'm gonna leave it there. I am always open to giving more recommendations and even more open to receiving recs!!

symbolism can be whatever you want it to be and now that theres 7 life series we can make the winners deadly sins if we want. heres my proposition:

grian: pride (vibes) scott: sloth (laid back in most seasons) pearl: envy (towards the other soul pairings) martyn: gluttony (time is delicious) scar: greed (seashells on the sea shore) cleo: wrath (die for me) joel: lust (hes gonna fuck that car)
