Shiny duo (pearl + gem, can be platonic or romantic) Curses by the Crane Wives

gem and pearl to the tune of curses coming up! i wrote their relationship as a “up to interpretation” sort of thing so enjoy!

~~

gem doesn’t remember much. what she doesn’t remember, well she can’t tell you because she doesn’t remember! silly! she remembers some things. she remembers the sun, reaching down and pulling her into its heated embrace. she remembers closing her eyes. and then. nothing. just empty, blinding, light. gem didn’t remember much. 

and then, well, then she was here. beloved princess of dawn, lead priestess of the cult worship of the sun, unable to see. she could feel the sun on her skin, but she could never see its blinding beautiful light. 

gem didn’t remember much. but she remember pearl. she remembered her smile, the sound of her voice when she laughed, the feel of her arms around gem. 

i have been. busy all day. (currently recovering from a bout of tears but i’m fine now) so! you guys get surprise art from abysss!

so the main premise is that you start with one of the s9 hermits(haven’t decided whether or not whether or not you get to choose)and you play through their storyline, getting closer to other hermits, building bases, and causing chaos. after you complete one persons storyline, you unlock someone else, either randomly or based on who you got closest too. then you can play through their story arc and so on. 

there will be some events you can’t skip based on who you play as. for example the rift and the king arc will all be inevitable if you’re playing someone who was heavily or tangentially involved in that arc. 

empires s2 will also exist since the rift will exist. you can get close enough to the emperors to unlock their storylines and play through them(haven’t figured out what’s gonna happen w sausage yet iykyk)

oh also decked out two will also exist as sort of a dungeon and that’s about all i’ve got for that side of things.

this is a thing that won’t happen for a long while since i have neither the time nor the ability to create a whole ass game rn, but when it does i will be looking for people who are experts on the povs of s9/esmp2 i have not watched(i will need less of this help for esmp1 if that also exists cuz i am Insane and watched every pov of esmp1 for some reason) 

2- if you could sit down and finish any completely new fic without anything stopping you, what would you write? ooo i’ve been wanting to write a fwhip/sausage (fuselage) fic for a while! the idea is that sausage works at a coffee bar(totally a real thing don’t look it up) and fwhip is some kinda mechanic (haven’t decided what type yet). so sausage keeps getting put on the night shifts, and is upset cuz making coffee (that special one he makes idr what it’s called) is his fav. then fwhip comes in at a unholy time in the morning(like one am) and orders a coffee and voila they’re in love. there’s a bunch that come after i just haven’t had time to think about it.

4- is there an au or trope that you haven’t written before, but would like to try? i’d love to write a highschool theater kid au but despite being in highschool i know precious little about what actually goes on in highschool(i go to a weird school don’t ask. or do.) and nothing about theater. eventually i might write a college theater au bc that’s a thing i want to do.

number 39 for the 40 questions fic asks!! and number 19 for the 20 question fic asks!!! :j

39- do you have a preferred writing snack/drink? not really actually. i write a bunch during school(when i should be doing things but fanfic is more important) and at like midnight so i don’t snack besides maybe gum? i would love to have a little treat like mnms maybe as a writing snack but that’s not really what i do atm.

number 1. how many wips do you have. I know it's gotta be at least 5(I know you but also I, too, have an absurd amount of wip projects so I can't judge lol)but I'd like to know the actual number because I'm super curious about it

and also if you'd like, 1 other question of your choice :]

7- What fic are you proudest of? oh it’s gotta be “On the Nature of Isolation, and the Consequences of Loneliness”, an esmp1 scott fic that i wrote in just over a week and totaled to just over 6k. it was super fun to write and i’m really proud of how it turned out!

11- Do you outline your fics before writing them? no, not really. usually i’ll put down something to keep the idea, but that usually follows more of a summary vibe. when i’m actually writing, i’ll only plan a few scenes ahead, which gets me in trouble when i don’t know what i’m doing.

32- Out of all of your fics, what’s your favorite title? oo i can’t choose oneee. i’d say it has to be a tie between “Secrets, and How Not to Keep Them” which is a boatem/pearl focused superhero fic that’s still in progress, “The Divine Right of Kings” which is a medieval third life au that’s also still in progress, and ofc “On the Nature of Isolation, and the Consequences of Loneliness” which just feels so correct for the fic.
