Empires Smp - Blog Posts
It’s been a few months since Empires s2 came to an end and I wanted to make a piece reflecting on the time we spent with these characters 🥰✨ When season 1 ended I did a series of paintings set to the End Poem, and so I decided to revisit the concept once again, making sure to switch up which line corresponded to which person. This series means a lot to me—in fact, this is one of two big Empires s2 projects I’ve been working on! There’s another one still in the works :D
Huevember day 22: Eye for an Eye
Two Scotts in quick succession! He is just too perfect for the colour blue 💙
Huevember day 15: Monster Slayer
I’ve had this goth-magical-girl-Katherine design in my head for a while now so I’m glad to finally have it out in the world 💜🖤✨
Halfway through, babey!!
Meowdy, partner!
Mayor Lizzie takes a trip to Tumble Town, where a certain friendly big man Deputy offers to show her around! It turns out she and Norman have a lot to talk about 😸🤠

So I heard we were thinking Scott was in the circus
Look at him go !!
This was a really good excuse for me to practice posing while still feeding the hyperfixation monster, I recommend
I recently had the pleasure of working with Mythical Sausage to create an animatic for his character’s backstory! It was so much fun getting to bring Eddie and the King and the others to life this way—Sausage was amazing to work with and I think we made something really special together!!
Some of my favourite details I got to add in:
- As Sausage grows up, the smithery becomes filled with the whole range of minecraft tools!
- In the animated version, Bubbles’ chest rises and falls while she sleeps :’)
- The figure in orange in the background of the first image is me!! My empiressona is canon! 😁 (…I really hope I escaped the Night of Great Purge 😳)
The link to the video will be in the reblogs since tumblr doesn’t like links. Oh, and to have it all in one place — I also created Sanctuary’s logo!
I plan on being very quirky, very colourful, very eccentric, and a collector of many, many, many things.

Characters and stories may change but the one constant is my Smajor designs having shoulder-length hair. I’ve committed to this and there’s no going back now
“will you make me the happiest Mazelean King in the world and be my wife?”

joel’s character design based on this
Ima Just start Posting head cannons on here when bored
Head Cannon 1 -
Empires season one is something that happened so long ago that its like a myth, Joel for some reason has this obsession with it. He's just so drawn to the story and he knows doesn't know why.
The ocean queen is a Goddess but also a 'myth', that Joel has built loads of around his base and even of the 'Mad' King that had married her, together as a statue.
They were lost to time, Their story and their neighbouring kingdoms fallen to time and a demon.
Lizzie has seen her Husbands base before and doesn't mind the fact The Ocean Queen is everywhere as she too loves the story yet she also knows doesn't understand why quite likes the story but she doesn't mind as long as they are happy.

Joey‘s bi-sona is lacking flare, your honor
Based of a stream that happed a few months ago with a cosplayer, so this is a au where Lauren was the youngest sibling of the Rivendell family and the last alive
Pretty old art now, I do have a better design for Scott now that I like better

My Interests!
Here’s a list of all the fandoms I’m in/was into! (WARNING: Very long post ahead! If you want to see what fandoms I’m w/o the reading, just look at the tags!)
EDIT: NEVERMIND, THE TAG LIMIT FOILED ME /GEN /LH I am SO sorry, but the last few fandoms got cut out from the tag list! You’ll have to scroll down to the bottom to see them-
Crowned: These fandoms are VERY near and dear to my heart- and I’m ALWAYS willing to talk about them!
The Legend of Zelda: This is the fandom that introduced me to the internet back in 2019 (I’m a late bloomer, I know- XDDD), and kickstarted me making theories and analyses!
Friday Night Funkin: Hate it or love it, you can’t deny there are some amazing individuals out there! And for you modders out there, this game is actually heavily moddable- and one mod in particular was what caused FNF to blow up in the first place! This is actually the fandom I’m hyper fixating on right now-
Favorites: While they aren’t as important to me as the “crowned” ones, they still managed to hold my attention for a month or so- and that’s something to admire, considering how hyper my brain is!
Animator Vs Animation: This is the fandom that introduced me to Tumblr and AO3 back in the late summer of 2021- don’t worry, @ann-aha, you’re not alone! XDDD
Oh, and I can’t talk about “AvA” without mentioning the rest of the stick figure community! Shout out to Henry Stickmin, Rock Hard Gladiators/Hyun’s Dojo, Hyun, and Gildedguy! :D
Genshin Impact: Contrary to popular opinion, this game isn’t just for “nerds” or people who can afford to splurge thousands of dollars- I managed to complete the current (back then!) storyline as a free-to-player! While I’m not in the fandom anymore, at least give this one a chance?
Undertale: Ah yes, the funny skeleton man fandom /j /lh But seriously, this fandom isn’t all “Sans Fangirls”- just search up animations and artwork! Or, better yet- search up a full play through of the game (I recommend this order for newcomers- Neutral, Pacifist, Genocide) and let the story and gameplay do the talking! ^^
Just Shapes and Beats: Exactly what it says on the tin. Pro tip- once you’ve seen the full story mode, go check out KofiKrumble!
Minecraft: Of course I’d be into this fandom at some point, everyone will! I’m not into DreamSMP (please don’t kill me I’m just not interested in stuff like server-wide wars), but I AM fond of Hermitcraft and Empires!
Normal: I don’t really think about these fandoms too often, but they deserve a mention!
Harry Potter
Voltron: Legendary Defender
My Hero Academia
The Owl House (hey, while this fandom isn’t one of my favorites, you bet I watched the finale and cried the whole time!)
Doki Doki Literature Club (somewhat- in my master post, I mentioned I hate horror, so I avoid gameplay and stick to tvtropes/summaries- sorry- ^^;)
Kipo & The Age of Wonderbeasts
Pokémon
How To Train Your Dragon
Marvel (The Avengers!)
Mario
Splatoon
Kirby
Subnautica
Trollhunters (and the rest of the Tales of Arcadia! I LOVED that series- except for Rise of The Titans. We don’t talk about Rise of The Titans. /gen /lh)
Carmen Sandiego
Amphibia
“The Big Three”: These were the fandoms I was into as a little kid, and inspired me to start making fan fiction & headcanons!
Kung Fu Panda: Oh my god, I loved this series- and a 4th movie’s coming in 2024!
Big Hero Six: This is the OG- the first fandom I EVER got into! :D
Wakfu: Yugo accidentally inspired an OC (no info- yet! Not unless I learn how to draw!), so it’d be a crime to not include this fandom!
Well, I think that’s all- for now! If you want to learn about favorite characters, theories, head canons and the like- just ask! :D

Top 10 Moments Before Disaster
Inktober 2024 Day 2: Discover
Ignore how inconsistent the starting sketches were it's fiiiiine
• Iris, the newly fallen Ruler and often seen dictator of the Following. Power hunger and righteousness became her untimely downfall, along with anyone on her side and her very own child.
• Ivy, prisoner of the Following. Saving her from imprisonment became an ultimate goal. Her own sister locked her away in claims of containing a so called corruption that fueled Ivy's veins.
• The "Lotus Eaters": groups of lost and convinced cultists found themselves in bliss and over-indulgence as they found the island of mindless fruits.
• Additional monsters of the Codfather's island: while the other entities of the island were prone to belittle and tease the disfigured cod, they were still intent to protect him. They don't tend to be too fond of false alarms, however.
• The man-eaters: this story's Laestrygonians, Queen Lizzie created an entirely new species of seemingly mutated fish creatures, most in resemblance to Axolotls. They are hungry for any unfortunate soul who falls into their waters.
The Underworld
• Will & Eddie: two souls who miss their friends and loved ones dearly. Each were happy to see those they cherish on their journey through the Underworld. Though brief, they did what they could to give the remaining crew some sense of comfort and love they once were so overabunted in giving.
• Michela & Redd: two souls filled with bitterness and resentment. While they could find themselves forgiving their friends for foolish choices & careless disregards, wounds are too fresh for them to have a clear mind. Floods of their friends have come in, screaming their tragedies and fueling more hatred among plenty of them towards the unfortunate survivors.
Monsters
• A reflection shown to a captain long in need of a wake up call
• Scylla: a monsterous amalgamation of history's corruptions. She takes on her most recent host's appearence. From that of convincing fae, to fungal viruses that took over their hosts minds, Scylla hungers and she will feed.
Alt. Gods
• Aeor: a more casual, human esque appearence. He takes on this look for those He typically doesn't expect to live long enough to remember. He takes on this look to make sure any mortal will hear what He has to say.
• Exor: a more casual, friendly appearence. Years have passed and they wish to appear approachable as they can manage as they approach the son of someone they would once and wish to call their friend.
• Sausage, the island of paradise. He just wants to go home. He just wants to feel home.

Pt.1 || Pt. 2 || Pt. 3 || Pt. 4 || Pt. 5 [Here]
Okay I cannot physically think of anymore characters or important appearances I need to add. I am crossing my fingers that this will finally be the end of the sketches.
The looks are rushed cos I did all these sketches today in hopes of getting a post out before the end of the month so here we are.
This project is bringing me so much joy I won't lie.
The wisdom Saga is also making me Feel Things /pos
Welcoming in a few of our more prominent members of the Isles.
• Joel Beans, the still so-called temporary head of the Isles for the past 20 years. He's grown cold and distant to most outside of his love for his son. A well hidden paranoia has set in, those around him and trying to dethrone him effective in having him have his guard on high at all times.
• Hermes Mythos-Beans, the loosely-titled prince of the Isles, he's become something of a symbol for the creation of the new-era of the Isles. He's seen more with his artwork or instruments rather than with any sort of political or fighting scenes. He tries hard to uphold padre's name and even harder to keep his father safe as much as he can.
• Eddie Mythos, a loved and respected man of the Isles. He was once a cherished father figure to many of the Kestrals & still so for some pirates outside of the Faction. Since his passing, he still remains a quite positive memory among any pirates who knew him in life.
• Scott Denholm, the last survivor of the grand-standing family name. He's more away from home than not nowadays, tending to be one to keep others at arms length. Since his abrupt return and prolonged stay on the Isles, he's made a face for himself of being a major supporter of the left-behind Mythos family.
• Owen Orange, a charismatic and eerily persuasive character on the Isles. She's not shy to voice her thoughts, clear on how he views Joel as some undeserving intruder on their Isles. Many find it hard to say no to him and she's become rather savvy at rallying people to her side, however he may have that play out.
• Martyn Woods, a snappy and stubborn member. Many have noticed an odd shift in his personality since the first Fall of the Isles. Most attribute it a reaction to such an event or to the rumored rejection & built rivalry of sorts between him & a certain ex-Heron captain.
Important faces seen during the journey through the sirens.
• Siren Joel: an imposter's face plastered on a monster. An uncanny resemblance to the partner of our story's Captain.
• The true face of the lead siren, it's disguise falling off after finding the danger they're in.
• Another captured siren, baring a striking resemblance to their captor's long-passed partner.

Pt. 1 || Pt. 2 || Pt. 3 || Pt.4 [Here] || Pt. 5
As it now stands, I am done with the character sketch line up. Up next is the pennings which are going great and then I can start exploding with my nonsense <3.
I did rush the out-of-disguise designs of the sirens but I will clean them up in the pennings.
As always, questions and comments are always appreciated and my askbox is wide open for them.
• Pearl, Titled Aeolus, the whimsical Ruler of the Winds: As friendly as she is to visitors, she does have a rather hard time resisting causing some trouble now and then.
• Fwhip, the unpredictable Messenger God of travel, luck, & speed: He's considered unpredictable at best and borderline maniacal at worst. He falls far past the line of a "trouble-maker" but can't help himself in becoming a close companion of Sausage's (at least, as "close" as the Gods can be considered).
• Gemini, the dangerous & protective Goddess & Sorceress: She's shrouded in warnings of her power & her silver-tongue. While stories will call her a "Witch" or "Temptress," she considers herself a guardian who who will do whatever it takes to protect the one's she loves.
•[Gods of "The God Games"]•
-> when they're properly & fully revealed in the musical, I'll be able to give proper descriptions/character to them all. These are more-or-less base concepts of them <-
• Oli, the God of the Sun, music, & archery
• Pixl, the God of the Forge, fire, & craft
• Lady Katherine, the righteous Goddess of Love, beauty, & war
• Shrub, the combative God of War & bravery
• Joey, the spiteful God of marriage & family

Pt. 1 || Pt. 2 [Here] || Pt. 3 || Pt.4 || Pt. 5
Round 2 of the characters complied!
I look forward to fleshing out some of these characters more as they're revealed but, as of now, these are gonna be the concepts for The God.
While it doesn't fully effect how the characters are going to be portrayed, I'm more than open to getting information or stories on the Greek Gods equivalents of these characters.
I'm not fully versed in the stories & representations of the Gods aside from some Google searches now and then. I also love learning mythology and all that comes with it.
I do believe there will be One or two more character posts after this before i start working on penning & story-line art.
In the meantime, feel free to continue asking whatever your hearts desire.
Do enjoy your time here.
Captian Sausage and his two most trusted crewmates, Krow & Will. Sure hope nothing tragic happens to this close trio
The Regent Monarch Joel & his son, Hermes. 10 years into waiting for Sausage to return, they hold steady on the Isles, rebuilding and keeping steady.
Two of our biggest gods of the story, Aeor & Exor. Aeor, the cold & powerful. The one that will see things through the way he sees fit. Exor, the strategic & brutal. The one to hold their Champion close but will not hesitate to put one in their place.
The "Cyclopes" Codfather Jimmy & the Goddess Ocean Queen Lizzie. After an attack of desperation causing a tidal wave of a ripple effect, the Ocean Queen is unhesitant to show careless "travelers" just how ruthless she can be.
~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~
Pt. 1 [Here] || Pt. 2 || Pt. 3 || Pt.4 || Pt. 5
Here we have our first round of characters. Some of the most or first shown, here and ready for whatever totally not-tragic tale awaits them.
The next round will be gods-focused (unfortunately Pearl didn't make it in this post but she'll be here promise).
I can't wait to post the penning, it's going well & looks loads cleaner
