Man-eating sirens have plagued these waters for as long anyone can remember. Now, as you sail across the ocean with your crew, siren songs begin to entrance everyone on board. In a desperate move to save the others, you try something no one else has tried before; you sing along with them.
So I saw a really cool headcanon about how the boatem crew (minus scar) are vengeful ghosts because scar just took their money and ran as the boat he crashed sank with them on it.
It’s a great way to fit them into the pirate smp And I think it can go in so many different direction’s like horror or angst or comedy. Now I love comedy but angst is what I do best so I have an idea
The beginning is the same It starts out as a normal day on the jelly when it suddenly crashes and grian falls from the crows nest onto the hard wooden floor below
When pearl and impulse get closer to help him they get pushed off the boat into the ocean and After they fall into the water Impulse gets eaten by a shark and pearl gets stuck under the boat and drowns
@foop204 designs are great but I have an idea that is different for mumbo
mumbo was actually down in the hull when it happened and ran straight up to the deck arriving just in time to watch pearl and impulse fall overboard
he then rushed to get rope so he could pull them up but scar snuck up behind him and literally stabbed him in the back then he was left to die of blood loss
Might not be as flashy and creepy but his ghost still has the sword stabbing him long after his untimely death
Now they are all ghost and they have different ways they act as a result of the betrayal
Because as stagnant spirits they are forever stuck feeling what ever they were feeling before they died but turned up to 11.
In other words They are the remnants of the dead boatem crew only snap shots of their final moments
Grian is full of rage because he like the others thought scar was a friend but more so than the others he wants revenge
Pearl is a tearful mess when she swam up for air only to feel the bottom of the boat she felt despair because she knew she wouldn’t make it
Impulse is constantly jumpy and panicked because he saw a hole dang shark swimming right towards him(it’s an understandable reaction )
Mumbo feels empty and hopeless because his death was a lengthy one he was hurt at first but by the time he died he was just tired and done with everything
It’s pretty dark but the concept is already pretty dark
Inspired by @ommmmara @applestruda and @foop204
Of course just mention me or something
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 know 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
Pearl has a strong dislike of Scott
after all it was her idea to create the night and day cycle but it was Scott that got the credit and addition to his power
It’s not that People don’t know that pearl came up with the idea but that part is glossed over and is often told as pearl having had the idea but Scott was the one that gathered the others and made it a reality
But the thing that Scott did that enraged Pearl the most was making it so stars could die
Scott’s reason for creating dying stars was to let jimmy the death god feel more included
You see Unlike other gods who have many different and complex domains that expand and transform over time
jimmy since the day he came into existence has only had one unchanging domain
death
Because of that he is incapable of joining in and helping the others in their creative endeavors
I’m undecided on whether or not flower husbands are in the au but it’s clear that Scott has a soft spot for jimmy or at the very least feels really bad for him
pearl has never forgotten how Scott took her proudest accomplishment and twisted it into something that destroys it self
@weird-king-eli
My headcannon is that as a child jimmy was a homeless orphan ignored by everyone
After his mother died he lost hope and just focus on staying alive until one day a group of kids visited the village it was big news and everyone came out to see the sight because the kids that visited where royalty from far off kingdoms future rulers
Jimmy saw how everyone stopped what they where doing just so they could get a glimpse of the promising youngsters and he was struck with longing to be noticed like them
From that day onward he made it his goal to become an emperor so people would love him like his mother used to
he dreamed up tumble town a place where he wouldn’t be an outcast and where people would respect him
He chose to settle in a dessert because in the town when it would rain due to not having a shelter he would get soaked and his belongings would risk being ruined
Because he was homeless he never when to school he only recently learned to read
In the town where he grew up there was a very wealthy family that had a young daughter named kirsty
kirsty was always told by her snobby parents to stay faraway from the dirty scrawny kid she would see sometimes around town and she did as she was told until one day she got lost in the woods she was scared and alone but then she found a cave in the cave was jimmy’s “home” she didn’t question it she was taught not to question anything if it benefited her
She took a look around and found many things food taken from the garbage, a poorly made cowboy hat and drawings of a sherif surrounded by townsfolk and adorned by them all
Then Jimmy returned at first he was embarrassed but then she started to ask about his plans and he started sharing the two of them talked until the Time came for him to show her back but that wasn’t the end of there friendship it was just the beginning
Kirsty would stop by whenever she could not telling her parents of course they would approve of her friend she was supposed to be learning to be proper lady a perfect example of a southern bell in the making not out climbing trees or digging in trash for food and other things to help jimmy
as the days went by she started to feel trapped jimmys enthusiasm inspired her his want for more made her want more
She encouraged jimmy to share his plans with others they started to recruit people Jimmys passion of infectious
Soon enough they started to put the plan into motion kirsty funded most of it but the others helped to so the pioneers set out to create tumble town
Jimmy has dedicated his life to tumble town and as you can imagine is terrified he will be replaced and cast out once again after all he was the outsider that went from the bottom straight to the top
he over works himself a lot trying to build the buildings and do all the paperwork so he doesn’t have to ask others because he feels he might loose their support and they will leave if he oversteps and pushes them away
I headcanon Joel to be the opposite he was born into health and and influence he much like kirsty was excepted to be a dignified and perfect from birth
Once he was put in charge he was finally free to do what he wanted he was like those kids that are super restricted and when they rebel they go way overboard
So Jimmy and joel are complete opposite
one had responsibility and devotion thrust onto him and the other had to fight tooth and nail for it
one craves the approval of other while the other stopped caring about what others think a long time ago
I think jimmy and Lizzie and there mom and any other relatives of the same fishy demigod species age like birds
I know they are fish but I like to think that like birds they come out the eggs looking like boney flesh bags but grow into colorful beauties from dulled colors and scrawny limbs to shiny vibrant scales and graceful bodies
magical girl shows really did snap when they assigned personality traits based off the members colors
Au where the sbi are a family of animal shapeshifters Phil’s a crow technos a pig tubbos a goat fundys a fox Tommy’s either a raccoon or a baby chicken because grown crow Phil with a chick Tommy is adorable basically all of them are shifters but Wilbur who brings friends home from school and they stare as he introduces them to his family in there animal form’s they start to question Wilburs sanity like he’s crazy until the animals start taking and then they start to question there own sanity and all this happens because his family tried to mess with Wilbur and his friends
Jimmy has been drawn as a canary hybrid and a cod hybrid and a toy but what if he was all three
He’s a taxidermied harpy he has gills and wings and an alluring voice and is covered with the type of stitches you’d see an a doll
It’s a creepy visual I know but I think it’s interesting and manages to fit the three main hybrids he is known for
I always thought that if Lizzie and jimmy where’s gods there domains would be of different levels of the ocean
the oldest Lizzie goddess of the deepest depths of the seas and of the ocean floor littered with lost history and knowledge yet to be known where life originated from and where the fish seem other worldly and colorful to ward away threats
And jimmy the younger brother god of the shoreside and of water that found its way to the surface such as rivers beaches waterfalls desert oasis’s and swamps where life took its first steps out of the ocean and where the earthy toned fish learned to blend in to evade predators
twin gods born centuries apart destined to be separated but undeniably connected
this is inaccurate if Jimmy had a gun he would literally and figuratively shoot himself in the foot cutting his lower than average time in half
