Wolau Insanity - Blog Posts

I PROMISE IM WORKING ON WOLAU YALL, I JUST KEEP STARTING WITH NEW CHAPTERS INSTEAD OF EDITING THE OLD ONES 😭

Imma post chapter 7 this week tho, it's alr finished, i just gotta draw the artwork for it first 👍

In the meantime, read my fic wolau!!!

Silly chapter titles my beloved

Go check out my hermitcraft fic wolau! I prommi ill try to update soon…

Yk, when i started working on wolau & planning out the plot, i thought that maybe Grian was a littleee bit ooc, and i made him a bit too paranoid, tight lipped, watcher-like and too prone to being the scape goat & getting blamed for everything...

But uh. For some fucking reason wl!Grian is SO similar to (2. arc) wolau Grian. I can't say why, because spoilers, but WHAT THE FUCK THERES SO MANY SIMILARITIES LMFAO

Anyways, school & irl stuff r taking up my free time so i haven't had time to work on wolau, but hopefully ill be able to release another chapter soon lol

Wolau updates and hermitcraft art requests have been and r gona continue to be a bit slow for now, cause im busy with irl stuff :(

I recently joined an organization and it's been rly fun, but sadly I now don't have a lot of free time cause we've got an event coming up soon and im trying to help as much as i can.

Decided to redraw the art for chapter 1 of wolau :D

Close ups below!

Go check out the fic it's for!

I decided to make a lil sketch of Joel and Jimmy too :D im pretty happy w/ their designs so far!

GO READ WOLAU HEREEEE!!!!

...oh wait shit, i just realized, i might end up having to redraw some of the art I've already made for wolau tho, since i drew them differently there-

Lil wolau!Grian sketch! Yay :D

I'm still trying to work out their designs (especially like, facial shapes n how i draw their expressions n stuff), but hopefully I'll be able to post their finalized character designs soon!

HOLLY SHIT I JUST FOUND A WAY TO INCLUDE KERALIS AND XISUMAS BEE-THEMED SKINS IN WOLAU

...Incase yall are wondering why the second chapter is taking so long, it's cause i keep coming up w/ new art ideas for it. Also, I'm only halfway through the chapter and already at 2.3k words... Oops-

I think ill only include the 3 artworks I've already drawn in this chapter so i can try n finish it this week, I'll just post Keralis' & Xisuma's bee outfits with their character designs (once i actually have time to get started on the character designs)

So I'm working on the second chapter of my hermitcraft au/fic wolau, and...

I KEEP GETTING DISTRACTED BY ART. I'm just trying to finally finish the chapter but I'm having so many ideas for art and now I've already started working on 3 artworks for said chapter... Originally i was just gona do one artwork per chapter...

Anyways, have 2 of the WIP sketches while i try to finally finish the chapter!!!

(Here's a link to the fic)

OKAY SO UNFORTUNATELY, my (unmedicated) adhd said ✨no✨to me finishing the first chapter of wolau on time, HOWEVER: I've instead worked on some future chapters AND started working on two artworks for the first chapter (instead of just one)

To give you guys at least SOME content while im working on the fic, here's the art refs for the first chapter!!! (Which i might post on my bday, the 25th :3)

Feel free to guess stuff in the comments, it's probably not what ur expecting tho LMFAO

I think someone already suggested this, but maybe like using shadowrot aka lizziexcleo would be a cool way to also have boat boys?

SORRY I FORGOT TO ANSWER THIS LMFAO

but yeah, I've definitely considered this, i just don't know how well it would fit the plot? Both cleo and Lizzy are characters that are only mentioned in passing, but i could at least imply the ship. Actually, the more i think about this, the more I'm realizing this could actually help solve a plot hole....

Once again tumblr is spreading shipping propaganda. Successfully. Lmfao

So in wolau, Joel is a godlike (=person who has been gifted powers by a god)

What if, i made Jizzy cannon, but instead of Joel, Stratos (Joels god) is dating Lizzie.

Bc I'm debating making smalletho cannon and i don't wanna like, kill off lizzie or just not have her in the fic :(

...also i think Lizzie deserves to date a god and not some random wanna be bad boy!!!

for the au i think an ambiguos but romantically leaning boat boys and romantic rendoc would be kinda cool since thats also their character relationships in hermitcraft canon, but totally upto you. i love ur idea btw! its actually so cool

Trueeee, i def wanted to make boat boys ambiguous, but i have SUCH a funny idea for a plot twist revolving around the reveal of whether they r romantic or platonic...

Like a rly silly misunderstanding one, where they r rlyyy ambiguous about their relationship and it causes the other characters to get to a VERY wrong conclusion...

Idk yet, and i probably won't tell yall which one i choose so i don't spoil it...

Web of Lies hermitcraft AU (Summary/info post)

Grian is surprised when Jimmy contacts him, especially since they haven't spoken in years. Back then, Grian was still a journalist who secretly worked with villains and Jimmy was a young adult who got accepted into a hero program...

Apparently Jimmy had become a vigilante instead, and the reason he contacted Grian was because he and his civilian friend Joel were creating an underground fighting ring and they needed workers for the bar above it that functions as a cover up.

He's hesitant to accepts their offer, since he's been trying to stay out of any... Crime "Shenanigans" for the past few years since quiting his job as a journalist, but agrees after they assure him that they just need a civilian worker that won't rat them out to the heroes.

Everything goes well at first and Grian slowly gets to know the other staff members better, that is until he starts to overhear more and more strange conversations between his co-workers, mentioning a strange type of magic that has been causing chaos in the city recently. It sounds awfully familiar to a cult Grian knows from his time as a journalist in Evo.

Grian is determined to stay out of it, ESPECIALLY if it turns out he's correct about the watchers being involved, but he has to at least do something, right?

Or, Grian has to make a choice between his quiet life as a "civilian" and saving his friends. Determined to do both, he tries to influence the watchers games from behind the scenes without anyone finding out, even going as far as creating new secret personas. Too bad the watchers think identity reveals are incredibly entertaining...
