This Is How I Celebrated The Ides Of March Last Year. I Don't Know How To Commit To The Bit Any More

I think this happened in 'odysseus'

Telemacus: *fighting against the suitors, holding his ground but he's slipping*

Telemacus: *sees ody in the shadows, bow aimed at him and the suitors*

Telemacus: *stops fighting abruptly and goes slack*

Suitor: haha, got him

Ody: finally I can actually shoot my damn bow without hitting my kid

Joel realising that he's now stuck with Scott in the winners lounge

Mcyt as Writing Prompts pt. 2/?

the dichotomy between an attack dog vs a guard dog is like. an attack dog is sent out to carry out violence. it's starved and abused to ensure aggression. it has no other purpose outside of Attacking at the whim of its master. it's constantly on guard because a threat can come from any direction at any time. it's the dog chained up in a basement that's only set loose when there's something to kill.

but a guard dog is protecting instead of attacking. instead of being sent out to fight, it comes home to defend the house. it may be constantly on watch for an external threat, but it is content to lay with the sheep until a wolf comes to the door. the guard dog has a warm place to sleep, and is well fed and treated like a member of the household. it's free to leave at any time but it stays to protect the house anyway. do u get it. do u understand.

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.

Lodestones (link)

Relationships: Grian/Scar, Scar & Bdubs

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)

Status: Incomplete

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!!

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,'

The "won by playing fair and friendly and not betraying their friends and/or going insane" squad, and it's just Scott and Joel glaring daggers at each other

deadly, oh, wow, mass murder, murder on my mind ♫
