My Headcanons For Watcher Lore

S1 esmp codlands world building headcanon

The cod lands value their alliances and are known to take inspiration from other cultures its not as though they don’t have any original traditions but a good few of them are a direct result of them putting their own spin on foreign cultures and imports from all over the world 

The most well known example is the cod folks famous wood carvings the story goes a long time ago there was a young codish traveler who had stopped to stay the night in a mezalian inn while wondering the streets he could not help but admire the buildings he loved how symmetrical and perfectly placed the tiles were and it stuck with him 

when he returned home he tried to recreate what he saw but he didn’t have the materials needed for it and he realized very quickly that he should have asked how it was made when he was there but hindsight is twenty twenty and he still wanted to try so he decided to ditch the colors and clay he focused on his favorite part 

He went out side and picked up some tree bark he got a knife and scratched the same patterns the tiles were laid out in mezalia on the wood but smaller it was mess but he liked so he kept doing it when ever he got home from his travels he would sit down and carve patterns into the wood as time went on his work got neater and thought it was not as colorful as the tiles they were based on they focused more on little details they became beautiful and when he got old and settled down he started selling his work in the market soon enough it caught on and more people started carving wood for art rather than for utensils and weapons 

Lots of Time has passed since then and along the way it even picked up some religious significance when children reached a certain age they carve a special bead to mark the day they took the oath to protect all cod it’s like a baptism or bat/bar mitzvah there guardian weaves the child a necklace to put the bead on and from then on when ever something significant happens they make another bead to put on the necklace but they only wear it for special occasions these things are so important to a person they never wear them casually and are heavy protected when someone dies they’re beads are hung in a mini cemetery that each family has because you can’t bury someone in a muddy swamp like you could in a dirt field 

The cod father head is very special because when ever a cod father is introduced they create a bead but it doesn’t go on their necklace it goes on the cod father head alongside the beads of the past cod fathers unlike necklaces that are only worn sparingly the cod father head is to be worn every day to symbolize the cod fathers never ending responsibility to protect the legacy of the cod empire a constant reminder of the past present and future generations the cod fathers have to maintain it’s a lot of pressure and needless to say if a cod father were to loose the head or cod forbid have it be destroyed while in their hands well that would be blasphemy 

but in the present long after the man died the art style he fathered keeps evolving with every new artist it gets further away from the tiles and became it’s own thing a art style that is unmistakably a art unique to the cod lands

The most scene hot topic pastel color kitty hats ever made

Jimmy has this weird habit where he gets very attached to and obsessed his headgear so bad boy Jimmy could also have a hat specifically an edgy cat hat

This Is Also Fun To Visualize. Joel Gets Cool Sunglasses, Grian Gets A Steampunk Top Hat, And Jimmy's Over Here With A Helmet & Cat Ears. This Flavor Of BadBoys Is A Mess /aff

Empires smp god au seablings

Lizzie is the second oldest god she started out as just an ocean god with only one domain under her belt and for a while she was alone

with time life grew in her ocean but unfortunately they were only single celled organisms who she could not hold a proper conversation

So she continued her lonely life until the first death which resulted in Jimmy the god of death making his first appearance leaving Lizzie shocked

because up until then she thought that there was nobody capable of communicating with her but at the same Time she was happy to not be alone anymore

Rules and FAQs

Welcome to the MCYT Sibling Showdown, where sets of siblings in the MCYT Multiverse go up against each other to determine the best sibling dynamic!

What qualifies as a set of siblings?

For the sake of the poll, sibling set nominees are divided into three categories:

Canonical: These characters are canonically siblings, biological, adopted, in-laws, or otherwise.

Canonical Honorary: These characters are canonically honorary siblings and have a sibling-like dynamic in canon.

Fanon: These characters do not have a canonical sibling dynamic, but are frequently portrayed as such in fan depictions.

Are there any limits to what dynamics I can nominate?

In-law dynamics are allowed ONLY if they are between a canonically established relationship within the source media, i.e. Fanon submissions of in-law dynamics are NOT allowed. This is to prevent bringing the entire MCYT Family Forest into the mix, for the sake of everyone's sanity.

Characters in the sibling dynamic can be main characters (played by active content creators) or NPCs (as defined in the @mcytnpcshowdown), or a combination of the two.

Real-life sibling content creators (e.g. Stampy Cat and NettyPlays) can qualify for this tournament ONLY IF their characters are also portrayed as siblings in collaborative media – a note will be added that the content creators are siblings in real life in such cases.

The number of sibling sets in the tournament will be determined by the number of individual submissions.

If you have any questions about whether a certain dynamic CAN be submitted, please ask! If there are any grey areas in the categorization, they will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Rules for the Showdown

As per MCYTblr tradition, voter fraud, bribery, and propaganda is allowed. Just DON'T BE TOXIC.

The mod will not be playing fair. Please tag this blog if you want everyone to see your propaganda.

The mod also has the final right to decide which nominations go in the poll, but they will only interfere with the nominations if they have to.

If a dynamic is nominated under the Canonical Honorary category, please submit at least one piece of evidence from the source material to prove they are Canonical Honorary siblings.

The number of nominations for each dynamic will only be revealed once nominations are closed. If you want to check if a certain dynamic has been nominated (yet), you may ask that.

If you have any further questions about the poll, please ask!

Gemcyt au that stars the cod alliance from season one empire’s and where most of the other characters where crystal gems that fought in the gem war

Grian was the leader of the rebellion that worked together with Lizzie a diamond in disguise to fake her shattering and just like in cannon the diamonds retaliated by the corrupting all the gems still on the planet 

Lizzie used her weapon to block the blast and like rose she was able to grab two others before it hit

Joel who never left her side and jimmy who stayed close to joel 

the story takes place 5,300 years after the war and starts when a modern human historian named pix befriends the survivors 

lizzie a pink diamond disguised as a rose quartz that is a scammer and is the one that makes their fake ids and legal papers 

joel a green off color pearl that was originally quiet but over the years became more outspoken and confident 

and jimmy a defective clumsy lapis that loves human board games and organic animals 

Pix questions them about the gem artifacts and ruins he has been studying and as they get more comfortable around him they start info dumping about the caste system and the war

It steadily gets more and more personal until it gets to the point where he becomes their unofficial therapist 

Then the home world gems start coming to earth again and pix becomes a diplomat that ends up using Lizzies status as a diamond to defeat the other diamonds by talking to them like Steven did in Steven universe 

this au is heavy inspired by @playername-player-of-games and @marblegroves

Just found out that bbh used to be called saints of games 

and now he’s a demon 

Fallen angel bbh my beloved !

Jimmy in the gemcyt au is off color

We all know about the canary curse and how Jimmy always dies first well my idea on how to transfer that into a gem au is instead of dying the most he poofs the most 

His form is very breakable so something that other gem’s would be able to power through like a very hard punch could make him retreat into his gem instantly

He would also not be able to keep his form after being stabbed like bismuth during the breakin point fight or Pearl during sword training 

His defective programming is so unnoticeable that he was in denial about it for a very long time and didn’t realize he was an off color until way later 

Sometimes the defective coding that causes his form to be so week will fail completely making him poof at a random time with out an external reason

When he reforms he becomes a shining target because it is literally a full minute of him cycling through all his many many past forms  

this is base off of the gemcyt au from @chrisrin and @cherrifire

Empires smp avengers au seablings 

Jimmy and Lizzie are a combination of Thor and aqua man they have a human dad and ocean queen mom 

Having kids with a human was a very controversial move from the last queen 

she met her human love many years ago he was a British man that loved to sail he was surprisingly respectful to the ocean at a time in history where that was rare 

The way he treated her reminded her of the days of her youth when she could go to the surface and be treated like a praised goddess and not as a feared monster 

when he died she was heartbroken and after many years of gathering energy she was finally ready to lay her eggs she put them as close to the beach they met as she could with out being close enough to be spotted by humans 

the royal family has a  magical trident that like Thor’s hammer can only be used by a select few in this case anyone with royal blood 

the queen died laying her eggs and a supervillain with a vendetta against the kingdom took the opportunity and tried to kill them so that the line would end and the royal powers could never be used again 

but two eggs survived one shiny and brimming with magic the other cracked barely holding on to life but miraculously still intact 

There aunt was put in charge of watching over the remaining two eggs after there mothers death 

she was unsure if the cracked one still had a living being in it but she held hope that it would pull through 

but even though everyone wanted both eggs to hatch they hoped that the one with more potential hatched first so they could be the heir 

And the shining one did hatch first and from it came out a very powerful baby girl with blue skin and pink hair she looked just like her mother but had her fathers brown eyes the kingdom celebrated and she was immediately brought to the palace to be queen 

there aunt ruled until she was ready and because of that she was unable to watch the second egg but she still had hope and made sure there was always someone watching 

But After much more waiting they gave up hope of the other one making it and left it there 

the aunt was heart broken and though she wished to takeoff work to check it herself she knew they where right and the thought of going back to the place her sister died was to much 

not to mention wasting resources and sending people to watch an egg so close to humans was dangerous 

Lizzie knew she had a sibling and was excited to meet them so when they broke the news to her she was saddened 

she would steak off to visit the egg ever now and then 

But thousands of years later it hatched out came a boy but no one was there to celebrate the miracle 

he found his way to the near by shore and because he took more after there human dad in appearance he was assumed to be a baby human 

And the next time Lizzie went to the egg she found the remains she went straight home to spread the news but no one believed her she was told that it was probably the remains of one of their many potential siblings that they didn’t clear from the area 

she promised to look for her sibling but tragedy struck her again when her aunt died she took the throne and she could no longer search for her sibling but she knew he was out there and hoped he would find his way back there her she swore as soon as they reunited she would be the best sister ever 

the trident is powerful giving the wielder complete control of water that does not just include The ocean but all water like rainstorms and the ability to fly by controlling the water in the air 

 jimmy was brought into the foster care system but ended up being taken out by a secret organization that sought to create assassins he was singled out because of he Atlantean durability and strength they didn’t know he was Atlantean but his inhuman traits caused him to be seen as a perfect candidate for there brutal training program

while going through the harsh training he managed to hold on to his optimism by remembering the cowboy movies he’d obsess over while he was in the system he would think about how they would face obstacles and eventually get there happy ending and comforted himself by saying that he would be just like them and have a happy ending 

he only knows basic knowledge since he was taken out of school and was forced to focus on training they wanted him to be stupid obedient and not ask questions 

he was always ignored and tried to fill the silence with noise with added bonus of getting them to react on occasion 

he is way stronger than n the average Atlantean lizzie is still stronger though

when he got out he became the vigilante sheriff like his mother he loved being respected

 both he and his sister where recruited to join the team and they booth excepted 

eventually they realized they where related when jimmy was able to lift the trident after that a lot of things started to make sense to jimmy the main ones being able to breath underwater and talking to fish 

The reason for season 1 jimmy hating salmon headcannon

In there childhood Lizzie was very overprotective towards jimmy 

Which was understandable because he was always trying to do stuff that wasn’t safe for him to do 

like eating stuff that where not edible or trying to befriend hostile sea creatures like sharks piranhas and salmon the last one being the newest threatening creature that causes the most life changing accident of the two siblings lives

It happened one day while he was playing Lizzie had left him Alone for only a second when he saw a friendly looking salmon he went to go pet it or strike up a conversation with one of his new neighbors depending on how intelligent the salmon where

 But as soon as jimmy approached the harmless looking fish he quickly discovered that it was very much not harmless the salmon lunged at him and attacked 

just as the salmon attacked Lizzie returned just in time to witness the fish clamp it’s jaws on one of his body parts

the injury was not lethal and was easily  taken care of but the encounter was incredibly traumatizing for jimmy and from that moment on he could not even look at A salmon with out being triggered 

unfortunately there home was soon completely taken over by the salmon they where everywhere jimmy couldn’t even look out the window with out seeing a salmon 

Before Jimmy hatched Lizzie promised she would protect him no matter what so decided to head towards the direction the salmon came from 

She said she would drive them from the place they called home for thousands of years and return home but she didn’t return and jimmy stayed in there house to afraid to even look out side just waiting for his sister for hundreds of years he lived in fear 

Until till one day he snapped his fear turned to rage the salmon where why his sister left why he had nightmares and why he was living in constant fear he decided to follow his sister to the surface killing as many salmon as he could along the way and so even when he reached the shore and forgot his past he still had the trauma and rage that came with those lost memories 

but also he still had those feelings from when he was happy little boy with out a trouble in the ocean before his life fell apart around him he still had his love for his sister and while it was hazy and muted it was still there

I have no idea even though the picture is a non human creature with ears

I think it’s a bug wolf hybrid
