Empires smp god au
Pearl Goddess of the harvest and farming her title was literally the farmer pearl and in the past people kept track of harvest by looking at the phases of the moon and positioning of the constellations
Lizzie the trickster goddess of the ocean and government ocean because in season one she was a fish goddess and government because in season two she was a mayor and in both she is a scam artist trying to make a profit through morality ambiguous means
Joel god of thunder and art in canon he is the god of thunder and if anyone in empires was a art god it would be the guy that sculpted clones of himself and built stratos/mezalia
Katherine goddess order and balance and duality she fights evil by transforming from the pretty pink princess to the axe wielding warrior and as lady Katherine of the overgrown she is the one that is neutral the one that Try’s to keep order
Jimmy is The god of death for obvious reasons
Joey is the god of wealth and desire because he is a pirate and pirates like gold also he steals from false and really wants to get in xornoth s pants he also Katherine’s (understandable)
Shubble is the goddess of nature and the wild because her whole wolf thing she had going on in the first season of empires and the infected outlaw thing she had in season 2
Scott god of the passage of time and the four seasons (and rainbows) because he has connections to flowers (spring) in life series and stars in origin smp and winter in empires smp
Pix god of messengers and prophecies( he is in charge of the recaps that gives people information they might have missed also he is a prophet)
Fwhip god of fire and revenge because in both seasons of empires he has had a stubborn heated rivalry with jimmy and did not take the break up well also in art his hair is fire truck red
Gem goddess knowledge and magic because she as the wizard gem she is a powerful magician and because as the princess of dawn she teaches others about the sun god also the wizard gems empire is literally a school
Sausage love and family and lust because he is known for his platonic love (Hermes and Eddie and pearl) and let’s say his passionate spicy love( pole dancing and flirting)
Oli god of music and insanity he is a bard and who’s words make zero sense to everyone and watching him you get sensory overload ( he is the oldest but nobody believes him)
false goddess of mystery and adventure and new beginnings because she is lost her memory and is a very adventurous person also do to the lost memories she basically started from square one when she came to empires
Gemcyt weapon headcanons
Lizzie has a whip that she wears around her waist and it looks like a cat tail
Joel has Roman Gladius sword that shoots lightning like how in canon pearl can shoot a laser out of her spear and of course he can make clones of him self that can also wield a sword once he gives one to them
Jimmy has a giant shield like captain America but it’s shaped like an uno card he has a hard time lugging it around so he usually resorts to water manipulation which he is also very bad at
Scott has a rapier that can freeze stuff with a gem stone that can change shades of blue
Grian can make little bombs and big bombs
Etho has ninja stars
Ren has claws
Pearl has an edgy scythe
And Scar has a gun
One of my favorite things in Steven Universe is fusion and my favorite part of fusion is the contrasting unique dance styles of the characters
so here is what I think the gemcyt characters individual styles are
Jimmy I don’t know the style but he has a lot of leg movements and kicks as a reference to his irl love of football
Grian his style is disco because he had a hippie theme that one time and disco was around during that Time period also he uses that finger to the sky move to poke his partner because he is a little gremlin
Joel does ballet like the pearls in cannon but even though he is not the shortest in this au he still over compensates by puffing out his chest like a peacock and he is on his tippy toes as much as possible and jumps into the air very often
Lizzie Hula dancing because her design is based heavily on empires season one lizzie the ocean queen she takes inspiration from island dancing
Cleo has very stiff movement because she is zombie Cleo and she dances like Michael Jackson in the thriller music video and she dances walk like an Egyptian because mummy’s are Kinda like zombies
Scott does not use his feet because as a sapphire floats and he does not use his legs he spins a lot and he has a very old Scottish style because he is Scottish
Skizz dances like the prince from Cinderella because he is a prince amongst men
Pjo au scott
For my pjo au I can’t decide who Scott’s parent is
He could be the son of iris the personification of the rainbow. my reasons for this is that in empires season 2 Scott’s empire is literally called chromia. also Scott is gay and the flag is a rainbow. On websites I checked Iris either has mom or dad that is an ocean god or nymph which ties into the mean gills
Or he could be a son of Athena if any of the life smp members were to be a child of Athena it would be Scott. He prefers to play smart and keep a level head. If he is a Athena kid then he’s going to have the grey eyes and blonde hair all of Athena’s children have but he dyes his hair teal
People might say he’s an Aphrodite kid because he’s flirty and super thirsty and in witchcraft smp he was a romantic but I like the other ideas better
All the Empires SMP members (Season 2 edition!)
[ID: 2 images. The first image has text that reads: Double Life, strings, knots, etc. Idea: all players start with a loose piece of string tied to a finger- it’s short and color corresponds to life status. Once “soulmates” meet and team up, it becomes a knot. Partners share the same knot, and it’s different for each group. The first image shows off the hands for pearl and martyn. Both have strings that are still green and untied. Pearls has begun to fray, while Martyn’s is singed at the end. Notes beside their respective hands describe this, saying martyn’s was singed in the nether. — Image two shows Scott and Cleo’s, drawn each with palms facing the viewer. Skin has fallen away on cleo’s wrist and ring finger, showing bone. Both have a green string tied in a simple bow, with Cleo’s being blackened at the ends . Text written on it says “Smajor & Cleo: simple bow. Entirely decorative, come apart easily, less restrictive and finite. Cleo’s happens to be singed at the ends...” End ID]
The original was obnoxiously long so I’m splitting it up into several posts I think for ease... had some ideas about design and started learning about knot tying... more to come soon :]
shakes like a rabid dog, i can't stop drawing them
Feel so bad for Pearl like Scott you go build a ravine basement right now so she can live there. She doesn’t have to be your soulmate choose Cleo that’s cool but don’t leave her alone!!
Welcome home, Cheaters.
I JUST SAW SCOTTS NAME MC AND IM SOOOOOOOOOOO NORMMAAALLLLLLLL
SAUSAGES CHANGED TOO IM STRAIGHT UP BELIEVING THIS IS EMPIRES RELATED WHICH MEANS I WAS RIGHT TO ASSUME IT WAS ABOUT SEASON 2 IM SO ILLLLLLLL
“You’re the one who asked if the Cod Empire had stories,” Jimmy says, sitting next to Scott by the edge of a mangrove island. In the distance in the swamp, they can watch several young codfolk attempt to play—Scott doesn’t know the name of the game. Something that involves a lot of treading water and throwing a ball around and makes Scott look exhausted just watching it, at least.
“Yeah, but I don’t get it. Don’t fables normally have like… morals?” Scott says. “The ones I knew did.”
“I mean, I’d say the story about the catfish was always pretty clear to me,” Jimmy says. “Doesn’t change, but adapts. It’s willing to eat anything, but not change who it is, and it outlives the goldfish, who change all the time, because of it—”
And Scott stands, distant from Ren but still covered in blood, red crystals floating around him. He raises his sword silently, then he sits down with the axolotl and waits. He’d finish it himself, but he’s always simply tried to survive, survive without changing who he is in the process. He doesn’t know if he’s succeeded. His teeth taste like iron and bile. If he’d been about to throw up, though, he would have done it days ago. Maybe that’s what victory tastes like.
“—that’s a moral, right?”
“Other people change the goldfish though. The goldfish don’t choose to change. That’s… that’s the point of goldfish breeding, Jimmy.”
“Yeah, and they die if you breathe on them funny. Don’t you know what a metaphor is? You’re the one who said fables normally have lessons!”
Scott sighs. “Yeah, yeah. Fine.” He sighs. “The oyster one, though.”
“Well that one’s just literal. Did you not know you can crack open oysters to check water quality? They’re a good indicator!”
Scott throws his hands up. “No! I didn’t grow up by the ocean! And the story’s more like that an animal just kills the oyster one day, and it finds out the pain the oyster had been preventing—”
And as Jimmy bleeds out on the grass, he realizes he’s bleeding out for them a second time. He hears, distant, Grian justify himself, but all Jimmy feels is like he’s somehow been cheated. He’s been killed first, again. The first name in a bloodbath of them. How is that fair? He’s never asked to die first! He’s never asked to die at all!
“—which is just. Really sad for the oyster?”
“Scott, they’re oysters.”
“They’re fables! We were just talking about metaphors!” Scott flops back. It’s undignified. He’ll get leaves in his hair, and mud all over his clothes. He doesn’t care. Here, the mangroves in the brackish swamp water smell like salt and something he hadn’t smelled anywhere else, and it doesn’t smell good, really, but he’s figured out it smells like life, and also maybe Jimmy, in a way that makes it easy to not care quite so much about appearances. Maybe it’s the bird in him, he thinks jokingly. He does have wings, and so many of the birds come to roost around trees like these.
They’re quiet for a while, Scott flopped back, children screaming and laughing in their game, and Jimmy watching all of them.
“Did you have a favorite?” Jimmy finally asks.
“Would it be cliche to say the one about the lovers? The seahorses, the one who builds a beautiful thing for his lover.”
“They die in the end, though.”
“Yeah, but, like—”
The war never comes to the hobbit hole. It’s funny; in the end, the two of them had gone to the war instead, when it came looking. Maybe they’d known better. Maybe, thinks Scott, in the afterlife their four hands had built, maybe they’d known better than to taint it.
“—the things they made were real.”
“Huh.”
Jimmy helps Scott up again. He looks at Scott in the eyes in that way that makes Scott either want to kiss him or strangle him. Scott’s never fully decided which, which probably makes it all the stranger that he’s sitting here, getting covered in swamp water and talking about fables.
“And yours?”
“Mine? Oh, uh, it’s one—funny, I think I learned it from Lizzie? I have no idea why that would be.”
Scott raises an eyebrow.
“It’s simple. It’s just that all things start as water, and all things will be water again one day.”
“…what? Why would that story be your favorite?”
Jimmy is quiet for quite a while.
“Maybe it’s because… no matter how badly we were to mess up…”
And he watches the explosion and he runs, he runs, because he doesn’t know what else to do.
“…no matter how bad of a decision we have to make…”
And Scott looks at the sword, and looks at Xonorth, and he doesn’t know what else he could do.
“…we’ll always end up back where we started.”
“That’s… oddly optimistic,” Scott says, although he’s not really sure that’s what he thinks about it. Somehow, instead of optimistic, it makes Scott feel like he’s somehow both too big and too small for his skin, thinking of the world like that. Thinking of everything going back to how it started.
On a circle, once again, they agree on their rules, and they shake hands, and they make their kingdoms. Again, and again, and—
“Well, I do like to keep cheerful when I can!” Jimmy says brightly. “Oh look, they’ve finished with their game!”
“Yeah,” Scott says. “So they have.”
What do you mean they all died/lost their memories/left to wander in exile? I’m pretty sure everyone’s just hanging out at a pool party actually~
I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since the first episode of Empires!! I made this as a celebration and I had such a blast with it :DDD Be sure to zoom to spot all the details, and lemme know if you want me to post some closeup shots!
THANK YOU SCOTT SMAJOR
THANK YOU SCOTT SMAJOR
And here is it all by its lonesome self. Its beautiful and apart of this post: https://traveleroffarawayplaces.tumblr.com/post/691035230703960064/so-this-is-how-it-totally-went-right-lol-i
Wooo!
So this is how it totally went right?
Lol I totally didn’t spend an hour working on this low quality drawing. Nope! Not at all.
Nothing to see here
Joel gives the winners a ride in his car, and they drive around to different seasons of the life series. It's basically an interdimensional travelling car. And then they crash into the side of Joel's base in hermitcraft because someone let martyn drive.
I think there are so many amazing bases you could draw in season 9 and this current season.
Grian's, Gem's, False's and Pearl's season 9 bases were iconic imo, and there's also the Decked Out castle. You could also go for the Post Office this season or Bdubs' frankly Ghibli style home, Keralis' vacation spot, or Joel's Japanese steampunk city.
These are such good ideas!! I'm gonna try and do one per season, maybe from season five onwards, so I have five artworks. I would love to do the decked out castle, I'll have to think over some of the other seasons. Although mumbo's base in season 7 was so so good.
I also did wonder if maybe I did five artworks of hermitcraft or maybe six/seven artworks of the life series. One representing each winner. Example:
- Grian/season 1: monopoly Mountain castle, sun motifs
-Scott/season 2: the cottage he and his allies based in, star motifs
-Pearl/season 3: her tower, moon motifs
-Martyn/season 4: The mean gills base (I cannot remember the name pls don't hate me), a mars motif? It'll be hard to include the planet in this one. But I can work it out.
-Scar/season 5: trader scars with the sun flower field, earth mofti
-Joel/season 6: Car
They won't be portraits but think of landscaping paintings. Like a mix of Claude Monet mixed with Van Gogh. It would be the same style for the hermitcraft artworks aswell.
Lemme know what you think would work best :DD

StarBorn Sparklez (Thoughts and stuff)
So, I’m rewatching Jordan’s Stream and It gets to a part where Shubble and Scott mentions how if Jordan is thought to be missing by his people and family, surely they will go looking for him. But Jordan said “Well, They count on me to be self-sufficient and that their is a lot expected of me.” And one, the way he said that in character made me want to hold this man and another thing is that this must have been engraved into him as a kid or teen. The fact that he has to report back, that he has to be the one to look for them. And that they are not going to look for him. No one is going to look for him. NOT EVEN HIS PARENTS ARE GOING TO LOOK FOR HIM. This makes me just want to protect his man. Because by this logic they won’t know if his dead or what if he can’t report for a while and they declare him dead without even trying to find him.
And god imagine if he reports back and his parents or higher up ridicule him and tell him that he should have been able to report faster with the training he has been put through. And that a good prince/soon to be king should be able to report back in no time or something. (Clip: https://clips.twitch.tv/ProudCuriousAlfalfaTheTarFu-mR44duZW1NYRpJV_ )
I know they're probably gonna go brothers with it but I super badly want O!Scott and O!Sparklez to be platonic soulmates instead.
Scott and Sparklezs are either brothers or soulmates and I'm here for it!
AfterLife Scott Spoilers
Me just casually watching Scotts new video of him being a Vampire. Also me: Can wait to see what the Flower Husband writers/artist do with this!
Empire thoughts (Angst)
Jimmy lost Scott, but doesn’t know it and his sister forgot about him again. All I do is live in pain and I love and hate it. I crave angsty, but sometimes it really do be to much man. My poor Cod boi. And now that I’m thinking about it...... Will Jimmy forget too? Fuck. No. Shit. And imagine its slow for him and him realizing in horror of the lovely memories of his family fading. Him scrambling on trying to keep them from disappearing only for his last hope to be a book and quill. But all he can do now is stare at the words written in the book and taking them as truth hoping to one day meet those he has forgotten.
for the ask game!
Mumbo and Iskall
Martyn and Scott
Ehto and Bdubs
OHHH I LOVE MUMBO AND ISKALL SO MUCH!!! they are so silly oh my god. The constant back n forth pranks? Mumbo adding blocks to the monstrosity?? Or standing still while talking to iskall??? They are so silly oh my god. I'm so glad i started watching both of them this season!! Don't rly ship them but they r an absolutely amazing duo and i hope i get to see more of their interactions during season 10!!!
Martyn and Scott... Mean gills! Imma be honest, it's been a WHILE since I've watched scotts limited life, but i remember them being quite entertaining :D their skins were so cool. Personally i don't ship them, but i def get the appeal. They a rly fun duo tho, especially during a life series! (i actually am searching up limited life as i type this... Looks like I'll be rewatching scotts vids again LMFAO). I generally think Scott, the sassy calculated one and Martyn, the dramatic roleplayer, are an amazing combo.
EFFO AND BDUBS!!! They r v silly. I haven't seen a lot of their interactions yet, since I've only watched effos season 8-10 and only recently started watching Bdubs s10, but their horse race project in season 8 was so cool! Im so sad they didnt get to finish it :( i don't rly ship them, but i think that's literally just bc of my boat boys hyperfixation... I did read a rly cool romantic longfic w/ them a while ago! It was p good :D other than that, i love their dynamic sm. Like, ethos 'calmer' teasing and Bdubs loud and dramatic personality make for some absolutely hilarious moments. Also, i wish they did a project together cause i absolutely LOVE both their building styles and i rlyyy wanna see them collaborate on a build!!! It would be so coolllll

thank you for the request, have a nice day!!
I heard requests are open! Might I request yandere Double Life Pearl with Scott as object of obsession? No worries if not, mate!
Not quite yandere Pearl, because I don't know a thing about yanderes, but Double Life Pearl with Scott are here! Thank you so much for the request, it got me REALLY inspired!!
