This guy. This guy who runs a run-down computer tech shop that's honestly more of a hobby than a business because there's no way he's selling enough product to make a profit. Maybe he orders in supplies for folks who want to get around Tango's monopoly and sells them basically at cost, just to get by? But his life is pretty quiet and not too aspirational, he seems like he's pretty content to just do his thing and tinker sometimes.

And then one of the Hermits comes to him. His Hermit, though Ron isn't entirely sure if the townspeople are allowed to claim a Hermit. He knows vaguely of other towns and worlds where the people pulled fully-formed from the silent void worship their Players as gods, but Mumbo's always been... Well, you can't really worship a Mumbo. It just wouldn't work.

But at any rate, Mumbo comes to Big Ron and explains his big plan. He's going to live forever. As a chicken, but actually as a robot. Gazing down on the town like some kind of benevolent Master Control Program, letting the weirdos over at MINED do whatever they want to or have to do in order to make the transfer. Mumbo seems... remarkably unbothered by the questions Ron really feels like someone should be asking. Like: What about the body? and How is this possible? and Why a chicken?

The only thing Mumbo actually is asking is... Will Ron watch after him? Maybe drop some oil in the tube every once in a while? Maybe come for a chat sometimes?

It's been a little over one year since I got into POW.

Thank you, Apo and Owen, for the lovely series and for allowing me to meet new creators I hadn't seen before.

Instagram poets could never!

1) this movie sucks ass because [insert list of valid criticisms for an adaptation of a classic text]

2) STOP BEING RACIST, EVERYONE

Things I have NOT seen in the nolans odyssey tag:

1) people being racist

Not to say it isn’t happening btw, I know for a fact it’s happening because people fucking suck and cannot seem to be normal about POC actors but I find it slightly funny that by some miracle I have somehow managed to completely avoid the racist people so far.

Ooooo, good shout! This is gonna be a little less "summary on the back of the novel" and more "friend trying to get you interested in a film/game universe" type thing though, because there's not exactly a singular "story" here...

So, the RMAU-Verse, or the Realistic Minecraft Alternate Universe, is my Minecraft AU made up of all my various Minecraft and MCYT headcanons, and that basically all of my Hermit/Lifer art "takes place in"/draws their designs from. It's MOSTLY world building if I'm being honest, with a grand collection of various species of mostly-fanon, mythology-derived, and fully self-created variations. I called it the "Realistic" au because it's not quite so "blocky" or strictly adhering to the mechanics of the game, but is instead a little bit more "realistic" feeling. In a very fantasy way of course, lol.

In addition to species (and "in-universe" "journal entries" on each of them in explanation), I have a general timeline of the WHOLE Verse (yes, starting at the literal in-universe creation of the universe and proceeding) that isn't COMPLETE necessarily but functions as a general outline, worldbuilding thoughts on Potions and Effects, additional tidbits of worldbuilding unique to RMAU, individual histories planned for many of the Hermits (often including first meetings and/or how they joined Hermitcraft as well as large events post joining), and several WIPs and a handful of posted works as well. Most of this - particularly the species entries, the posted works, and visual designs for all the Hermits (and a few more) - can be found via my Pinned Post on my blog, which is my RMAU-Verse Masterpost!

But as for highlights of the "plot" of the verse - my main focuses in this verse have been Grian and Mumbo, whose separation due to Evo and reunion just before Season 6 as well as Watcher related shenanigans were some of the first building blocks of the Verse, and then more recently Impulse and Skizz, who have a long and fun history of being former "gladiators" who SHOULD have been enemies but chose not to be to survive and now are So Close it's literally the focus of my two WIPs that are genuinely the largest stories in the whole Verse if I can ever get them finished. But honestly, MOST of the Hermits have at least one or two really fascinating tidbits I'd love to share with anyone interested!!!
