Primal Ask - Tumblr Posts
Okay, questions dumping, whooo!
First thing first... How many Hermits know about Tilly? Or is it just soup group for now (cause I doubt Gem and Pearl would be able to hide Tilly from Impulse and the rest of Hermits for long)
Did Tilly make it onto season 9 by Grian's rift? If so, what does she thing of Grumbot?
Pearl's hive mind, is that a new/season 9 thing, or was something going on even before? Wait, do your characters jump form season to season, ro are they seperated beings?
Larper Gem, Celestial being, yes or no? And are they able to cross between worlds?
....okay, I think I'm done for now...
Thanks for the ask now the answers
For how many know of Tilly the list is
The Soup Group (of course), Xsuma, and False and Stress (as they visited Gem once and ended up meeting Tilly), everyone else is kept in the dark, especially the Double Lifers Counterparts as Tilly is Afraid of them
Tilly did end up on the server via Grians rift as it is the nexus point (the area where multiversel energy is strongest) of the server
Her opinion of Grumbot was fear as she is not exactly used to advanced technology and anything grian related triggers some bad memories
The Hivemind to the Biome is new but the Hivemind of the Oyster is as old as her first form
They can somewhat jump form across seasons, but only as much as Xsuma allows it think of it as astral projection, and they can warp their body to the location
Gem is a nature spirit with a mutation that allows her more power of the astral plain and allows her to cross freely and to more worlds, and LARPER is what she calls it
I was about to ask if Cleo couldn't help with teaching Tilly more stuff ...but then I remembered a tiny little detail from canon that Cleo set Tilly on fire in session 2 or 3 so....yeeeeah that's a N O P E idea right there
And staying clear of Grian, and distrusting anything Grumbot (which is completely resonable) begs the question...who found Tilly first? Xisuma, Pearl while she was dealing with Grians chest-abomanition (you cant call that a monster anymore), Gem that was just happily hummimg and noticing someone new crossing onto the world?
The answer is that Tilly found Pearl as when she was turned into a human, she kept the ability to find her owner anywhere in the world and Hermit Pearls ID was so similar to DLAU Pearl that it transitioned to Hermit Pearl so all she did was follow the scent to a new home
How did Pearl react, when a small seemingly human girl (ie Tilly) found her, when Tilly first came onto the HC server?
To answer that, it would be with confusion. Look, Pearl is used to weird stuff to the point that it is normal. However, that was back home on australia, not hermitcraft - and look no matter how weird the hermits are, it is nowhere close to Australia - so this small child that only barely made it to half of pearls height who was unconscious - look at the distance of the soup valley and grains rift don't tell me you could go the distance- heavily injured as well so it was that very weird especially when she woke up as she was saying the she was her daughter so weird Tuesday
Just wondering, did certain Hermits in your AU also take part of Life games, or they luckily have no idea something like that exists/is possible and live in the blissful ignorance?
So the way it goes is that they are simply alternite universes where they did happen however they do not know. Well most of them as Pearls conection to the oyster gives her the ability to comunicate with other Pearls. So they dont know of the life games at all. So Impulse will never understand why Tilly was so uneasy around him
Just how much shenanigans can Tilly be up to?
Simple stuff, really. She may not be Pearls biological daughter, but she has her spirit (not in the soul snatcher way)
She does have to hide from pretty much the whole server, but she finds a way. She does stay away from the Double Life Counterparts (especially Grian), but other than that, she will find a suitable prank.
She usually just screws around with people at night due to most being asleep. She will most likely bring a few of undead mobs with her as a cover.
She is planning on some kind of build project around the soup valley, but that's for later.
The one time she did get caught was by Zed and Tango, who were, of course, confused, but Impulse was able to explain the Tilly situation (or what he knew of it) to them an dnow the whole team ZIT knows of Tilly.
Tilly the human meets Jellie on HC, who is not Jellie-panda size....how does that go?
That is if she meets them.
But if she did, it wouldn't be all bad.
It counts on Scar a little
Scar sure was connected to Grian, but he never showed any aggressive behavior. During the first chapter, she overheard him and Grian talking to Pearl. She wasn't very concerned for Scar. So, since she wasn't yet violent with Scar, she was mostly afraid of him due to his soulmate. So she would be fine with Jellie.

While I don't exactly always have a cat I like the ragdoll coloration the most. It just looks like something I would hug to death/j
I keep an eye on my hunger like 50% of the time. Like I dont focus on it 24/7 but the casual check in here and there
farlander pearl idea:
at some point, one of the soup group members managed to get their hands on some bleach (which is already hard enough, cuz it's education edition only) now you said at some point farlanders can drink bleach for whatever reason, so I give you this(also parenthesis are notes from me) :
One of the soup group members: so I managed to get some bleach today * holds up bottle *
Pearl: ooohh * grabs bottle and opens it *
(i'm just gonna say it's impulse for simplicity, plus I keep hearing impulse in my head) Impulse, suspiciously: whatcha doing there Pearl
Pearl: * pouring into cap * being australian * procceds to drink it out of the cap while glaring at impulse *
(the glare was purely for the bit)
Impulse: wh-wha-WHAT!
(please note I was gonna put a question mark but the key won't work)
pearl: *tosses bottle at impulse, then walks off*
(this happened on the bridge btw)
Hmm
Yep Canon.
While this is based on some old information it still works honestly.
Canon. Pearl is the cleaning lady so she gets access to bleach
hi, Its the same anon as the pearl with the bleach story.
I just wanted to say, in the eclipse au, are you gonna end up doing something related to the life series on it, or because of Not Dog is it taken? Sorry I will not lie, I saw farlander pearl and the little adhd guy in my head said "this is our hyperfixation now". And that made me galaxy brain a bit with "is there something with pearl being a farlander that made her be abandoned like that?" and "what's the relationship between farlanders and the watchers?". If your not gonna do double life, do you mind answering those two questions?
-š¦¢ anon
Hello new friend! Thanks for the compliments:D
1. In Eclipse specifically, I won't do anything related to the life series. However, Eclipse is just 1 story in an entire AU called Eclipsed Reality, and there most likely will be something related to the games. Not Dog is a separate universe/continuity as well.
2. Pearl, being a Farlander, has the unfortunate side effect of being a species hated by almost all "Outsiders" (people outside the Farlands). So she does feel alone in some cases
3. Watchers and Farlanders... have a BAD relationship. Watchers (and Listeners and Speakers) are angels in my au. And in my AU, anything considered as a "Pure" being is an enemy of the Farlanders, who are called "Tainted" due to a major event between the Saint Pearl and the Pure God's. So due to that, the relationship is mostly violent
Hi, It's swan anon again. sorry about the eclipse being confused with eclipsed reality. you can't check accuracy of what your typing when your writing an ask and so I was pulling the au names from memory and my brain said "this au is eclipse" instead of eclipsed reality. Also now that you've said that farlanders and watchers have a BAD relationship, I am now wondering why the heck pearl is in the life series because in the life series lore (I'm talking about the lore martyn has for it) the life series is just basically like the Colosseum, but the spectators get food for it. So why the heck is pearl in there considering the watchers probably can't get food from her?
Oh no this is turning into less of a rabbit hole that I can get out of and more of an alice in wonderland...
-š¦¢ anon
Oh its fine swan! no hard feeling
The answer is simple
There many ways a Farlander can be born. And one way is via chaos, and the Watchers made a farm for it.
Basically the Red Madness that the Watchers use for the Players, birthed something... Pearl.
The Life Pearls are born from the madness, and Watchers want the red for entertainment, however the Pearls are an unforuante side effect.
Hi it's swan again. Sorry, this is probably beginning to feel creepy right now with how many asks i'm putting in about eclipsed reality, but the galaxy brain is galaxy braining. Anyway, this should get the last question out of the way (honestly, the next time I have a question, I'll probably just write it down, then after I get 5ish questions on that paper, just make very big ask).
Have the watchers ever tried to get the life series' pearls out of the life series? If they did, would the watchers face any repercussions for her being in the series, would they face any repercussions for not having a pearl? what about pearl herself, would she face repercussions? If pearl was born from the madness of the life series, is she the literal omen of madness there?
-š¦¢ anon
Hello again! No worries btw I'm actually happy your asking!
The Watchers don't actually have to do anything about Pearls. They are taken to join the rest of the Oyster (the multiversal group of Pearls) They most so just want her to not be as chaotic as she is, as each variant has caused problems for the watchers control over the game.
as for if Pearl would face issues.... the Watchers are to scared to try anything major
Pearl is more so the embodiment of the red madness, shes deeply rooted into all the other players in some way or form. Shes the slow madness over taking them. The vines cover the server for a reason, shes always there, sooner or later or now
I just remembered we're mutuals now and I just want to mention something.
remember š¦¢ anon?
š¦¢ anon is me
you, just by chance, found out who š¦¢ anon is
(I go by Lily on Tumblr, not my real name though)
-Lily, formerly known as š¦¢ anon
Oh no
I figured since you were in the likes of some of my posts
I've known for a bit Lily :)
(Sorry if that was creepy. Hi š¦¢)
PS: got any asks?
ok, well just a few tiny things, and they're more world building related, only my last one is actually pearl related
the farlanders are perfect for using obsidian weaponry.
you put something in chapter 2 of eclipse about how the farlands lacked metallic weapons.
but in that same paragraph you say pearl still has a sword.
In the in-game Minecraft farlands, both lava and water spawn
lava + water make obsidian
obsidian weapons exist IRL (most notably used by the aztecs) but don't exist in minecraft
but you could include a lore thing about how outsiders, to get better weapons, since they have surface level ores, weren't forced to experiment with obsidian, but farlanders were.
and then my other thing:
there's a few textures where if you get far enough out in the farlands, they change/glitch out
most notably:

That's an END PORTAL
(picture credit: a YouTube video entitled F A R by wifies, timestamp, 6:47, link: https://youtu.be/4f5M1fHxRrQ?si=h-qLHJhTBSQAGmNl )
And now I'm back on my metallic weaponry tangent
it is possible for some farlanders to have metallic weaponry
if your farlands is based on the java farlands, the first time the farlands appeared, all the way back in alpha, they did have ores. but because the last time the farlands had ores was in alpha, those weapons are probably more like a family heirloom. You don't use them.
also are you basing the farlands off of the Java farlands or the bedrock farlands
because if your basing them off the bedrock farlands, pearl had quite literally never walked on solid ground until she went to evo, the bedrock farlands have a weird glitch where their textures exist, but the blocks themselves are hollow. the best way I can describe it is it's like the bedrock farlands are a gas giant. With the fact that makes the farlands not solid, it becomes a very important thing to remember if you're basing the farlands of the bedrock farlands
and one more thing
in evo, watch grian's pov when pearl comes onto the server. (episode 42)
there was just a watcher symbol portal in the sky above spawn which evo!pearl proceeded to fall out of, die, and then respawn.
considering watchers and farlanders terrible relationship, that's making me wonder if pearl was actually kidnapped by the watchers and forced onto evo.
Because of date lines, since it was, I think the 24th for everyone else, but the 25th for pearl, grian then proceeded to tell pearl that she was "messing up the timeline" after pearl was trying to write a sign about how she was a new player and the day she joined. Considering what happened during the evo ender dragon fight, that note is, interesting to say the least.

Hi Lily!
Clarifications seems needed
The farlander in chapter 2 had metal as a part of their body. And that was what was rare not a metal weapon.
Also yeah! Farlanders have obsidian weapons! It's not very common but some do use obsidian. Thx for that idea :D
Pearls blade however isn't obsidian, but a special kind of bone from a special kind of mob in the farlands
Also clarification of the farlands
It's a mixture of both bedrock and java, with many original ideas spread out
I'm still working on a proper reason why Evo Pearl even joined Evo.... but your idea seems to work pretty well
Plz don't take this clarification as negative, just soothing things out
I just got an idea for your life series pearls for eclipsed reality. So youāve said that the life series pearls are manifestations of the red madness. So hereās my thought. What if, even if she isnāt wearing the outfit (you know which one Iām talking about), when like, the light hits her eyes, her eyes arenāt blue anymore, their straight up blood red. And her like blue hoodie, itās almost like a thin illusion. Like if you squint sheās wearing her red outfit, or youāll see her out the corner of your eye looking red.
Hi Lily!
This is a good idea, and I do have a form of it in my au already
They do have constant red eyes
Think of the red skin as their actual skin, the eyes being hidden like you said
But this is still a good idea
when u get this, list 5 songs u like to listen to, publish. then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers or moots (positivity is cool)
Alright then
Epic the Musical - Survive
Epic the Musical - Scylla
Epic the Musical - Just a Man
JT Music - Doom Eternal Rap
Nominal Dingus - Upside Down
ok. question. we all know the lore for the life pearls in eclipsed reality, and I got another galaxy brain thought.
where does Tilly play in for double life pearl?
that's the thought
Tilly is actually pretty simple
She's Doubles zombie dog who guards her golden apples
She's also the "leader" of the life Pearl's pets, though they don't really have a leader
That's what you get once you boil her down
ok, I don't think you realized this, but Tilly being a zombie dog actually makes a lot of sense for a farlander. why? so I once dug really deep in the minecraft bedrock files and discovered a file entitled "zombie wolf". never hearing about this mob, I clicked on it. and was greeted with this mess of code

no joke, that's the file.
Now that's something I didn't know
Code is a messy and Tilly is a zombie wolf :D
Thx for the info
ok. Is MCC pearl a separate pearl, or will the other pearl's just be like "hey it's your turn to compete"
Hermitcraft Pearl is MCC Pearl
But all the other pearls are basically watching her the whole time
They were very happy when Pearl finally won
You know the battle where they first contained Xornoth in esmp S1?
That battle in eclipsed reality was probably just a lot just a lot of the wither rose alliance going āPearl, what the f***ā and gem in the corner being like āPearl I know you donāt like him, but if you donāt get ahold of yourself it will be worseā
Actually not much really changes from the normal fight
Pearl just is in the background butchering the ravagers, and its pretty scary
Thankfully for Xornoth cause he doesn't want to face pearl after what happened in Created Faux Eden
