The Double life children Headcanons 2, Electric Boogaloo

The babs are back, and they’re more sad than ever 🥳

Here’s a link to the first post with the babies, and here’s the first post with the headcanons

Wes hates being called either Weston or Wesley, or anything like that. His name is just Wes, simple as that, but Novo, Liana, and Jassy all love calling him elongated versions of his name to mess with him. Sometimes they go the extra mile and making up names, like Wessica or Wessandra. It’s the easiest way to rile him up

Novo takes his superstition extremely far. He refuses to leave his home if it’s Friday the 13th, he doesn’t walk under ladders, he puts a lot of faith into four clovers and rabbit feet, Black cats must die, he barely interacts with mirrors in fear of smashing them, he knocks on wood after almost every sentence, he always has salt to throw over his shoulder, he is ecstatic when his palm itches, y’all get the gist. Neither of his parents are particularly superstitious, not anyone around him, so it’s a mystery of where it comes from. He just simply puts a lot of trust in simple luck

Wes is the only one who kinda understands Novo and his superstition. Because of his OCD, Wes is always keeping things straight and orderly, he washes his hands obsessively and tries to keep things clean, he always asks for reassurance by people, he’s always counting things for no reason, he needs his things rearranged in a certain way or else he will cry, he panics over even the smallest decisions because he doesn’t want to make the wrong choice, etc. Novo and Wes don’t question the things the other just feels a need to do, and they find comfort in each other because of it.

Jassy is a big horror fan. She loves reading horror novels in the bowel of the Relation, the multitude of candles as the only light source only adding to the atmosphere. As a bab Joel used to tell her the most horrific stories he could come up with about The Wither, and The Ender Dragon, and The Deep Dark and such. Etho was horrified when he walked in on it one day. Jassy tried to share her interest with Liana when they were teens, and the poor gal couldn’t sleep for a week.

Gertrude on the other hand loves romantic stories. BigB used to tell her these sweet love stories about princesses in castles and knights coming to rescue them (And Ren had his own stories about Kings and their Hands falling in love while defending their homeland), and Gertrude was just enamored. She may be this tough tomboy gal with a chillaxed attitude and not a care in the world, but a happy ending always makes her cry. As a kid she used to fantasize about a charming charismatic man sweeping her off her feet like in the romance stories she reads, and while Novo isn’t exactly what she’d imagined (Partly because he’s 4’11 and twig and she’s 6’5 and bulky as all heck), she wouldn’t trade her gremlin boyfriend for anything.

Jekiv’s zombie-ness makes him unable to sleep. He physically can’t, he just doesn’t get tired like the rest of the people on the server. When he was a baby this was a pain in the ass for Cleo and Scott (And Novo when he wasn’t with Pearl), as Jekiv got bored during the nights with no one to entertain him which resulted in him screaming and crying for attention. Cleo (Who still needed sleep, Jekiv just has messed up Pineal glands or something) almost went insane during this time, trying to keep her fussy baby quiet. As Jekiv grew older he found ways to entertain himself during the nights, like hunting, fishing, reading, farming, or building. Sometimes he spends the whole night with Wes, listening to his heartbeat and breathing all night. It calms him, and Wes likes the cuddles, so it’s a Win-Win situation.

When Liana hatched, she was absolutely disgusting looking, and I say that in the most affectionate way. But like, she was hatched all fleshy and pink and gross because, well, she’s a bird and they are very ugly when first hatched. Scar, who was expecting a fluffy feathery mini-Grian baby actually yelped when he first laid eyes on her, thinking she’d hatched too early. It took just a few weeks for her feathers to grow in though, and then she was just the fluffiest bab either of them had ever seen.

Jassy’s hair is a huge mystery to everyone on the server. She has ridiculous hairstyles that should in no way be possible*, even less stay up as long as it does. She enjoys styling her hair in weird updos, it’s a weird hobby, and Jekiv and Liana enjoys studying the logistics of her hair, so again, Win-Win all around.

*Google ‘Ridiculous anime hairstyles’ or something, and then you get an idea of what Jassy looks like. Her hair defy the laws of gravity and she sees nothing wrong with it

As a tot, Johnny was a wanderer. He never sat still, always going where his nose was pointing, not a single care in the world. This was a problem, because the Ranch is located right by a ravine, and there’s a ton of animals there that could trample him, and a forest that was dark enough to spawn mobs. What I’m basically saying here, is that Johnny was a leash kid. Some of the other pairs made fun of Jimmy and Tango for not being able to keep track of their kid, but like it was the only option, they look away for literally two seconds and he’s gone, toddling away after a butterfly or something. Sometimes he’d slip out of the leash however, which lead to his dads chasing after him like he’s a baby at a construction site in a Looney Toons cartoon.

Despite being nearly adults (Or like actually adults, I have no clue how old the babs are supposed to be okay), Johnny and Gertrude love to roughhouse. They’ve both got some animalistic instincts in them (Gertrude being a dog and Johnny a fecking demon), and you know sometimes you just gotta tussle with the homies. They’re both quite aggressive and it could be a bit scary to watch if you don’t know they’re just doing it for fun, but they do know their limits. Gertrude is usually the one who wins, since she’s so much physically stronger than him, but if Johnny gets riled up enough that demonic wrath will kick in and then she’s in trouble.

Liana swears like a sailor, and has been doing so her entire life. She could stub her toe against a table and spout out a row swear words that makes even the toughest bitch blush, and Grian always gasps in shock and fricking clutches his pearls like an upper class old white lady whenever she does, wherever he may be on the server. It’s the instinct of a strict parent that kicks in.

Lianas favorite parent is Scar, Wes’ is Impulse, Gertrudes is Ren, Jassys is Etho, Novos is Pearl, Jekivs is Cleo, and Johnny doesn’t have a favorite because he’s the only one who grew up with a healthy and steady relationship with both of his parents. Surprisingly, Johnny is the most well adjusted and stable person of the kids, probably on the entire server actually. He’s just here to play the banjo and cuddle his goats, and we love him for it

All the kids used to talk about what they’d want to do when they were old enough to leave the dl server as babs. Jassy and Jekiv wanted to compete in tournaments, Novo wanted to be apart of MCC that his dad often talked about, Wes, Gertrude, and Liana all wanted to join Hermitcraft, and Johnny wanted to start his own server to settle down in. Once they actually got old enough to be allowed to leave the server, and discovered that it was impossible for them, all their dreams were promptly crushed. It was a sad day on the server

In hindsight, the kids are absolutely terrifying. They’re technically all gifts from god, none of them can die (unless their parents do but they don’t even know that), two of them are actual demons, one of them is an undead rotting corpse, one is a star elf who’s absolutely insane, one’s a fucking werewolf, one is a professional assassin and one can swindle you out of all of your possessions and can probably find a way to buy your soul, plus two of them are absolutely jacked and one can speak with Wardens, aka a demonic beast on the underworld. It’s probably good that they weren’t able to leave the server, they could all take over the world with barely any effort.

And yeah that’s it. This is probably the last thing I’ll do with the kids, unless I decide to actually write something with them. Also I thought I’d say this now, yea you’re allowed to make fanart or other fan content of them, I’ve had people contact me and ask if they can and it’s totally cool, just credit me (And tag me because I wanna see :D)

If you made it this far, then I’m treating you with more “Final” designs of the kids under the cut. Except, I can’t draw so I have to make do

Again, kinda rough designs but I still like em :)

my piece for the @hotguycalendar (which is absolutely gorgeous, everyone did such an amazing job, go check it out!!)

why are twitter users calling out the therian kittengirl who's wanted by the US government and who just leaked the US no-fly list with a ":3" for being a bi lesbian. lgbt infighters are on another level. it has 9 girlfriends and is an enemy of the state, I think it can use whatever labels it wants at this point 😭

video 1 of them <3

Yhs fic concept that I've been trying to write but will not leave my head:

ellen can see ghosts and spirits, they could their entire life, so they're not too suprised when they meet a group of spirits who call themselves "the hermits" who claim to have come here through a rift in dimenions.

They are suprised, however, when these hermits have a strong reaction to grian, a friend of their classmates.

Aka ellen and the hermits fix everything with the power of friendship.

The DL kids on Empires

I think this is the third or fourth “last post” about these fuckers, but like I grow attached alright

So I was actually planning on leaving them be for a while, mostly cause Double life ended months ago and there’s only so much you can do with them, but then an ask brought up that Jassy, the SmallEtho kid, would technically be the older sister of Hermes and boy did that open a world of possibilities

So if you don’t know these children by now, here’s a link to the first post which has a lot of other links at the bottom of it, or just check my blog

So at the end of Logbook, the short fic I wrote from this universe, it was implied that the kids found a rift similar to the one in Grian’s base. I did this because I couldn’t think of any other way to end the fricking fic

But let’s keep going with that, the kids are on Empires. I also imagine they go through before the Hermits, purely to make it easier and less messy for me

But when they enter the server, they get transported to different areas just like the Hermits, and they’re all separated and have no way to contact each other so some things goes wrong

This will also include the Empires designs of the kids, just for funsies, and it will all be made with Hero Forge because as my motto goes, I can’t draw

Liana no last name given

(Parrot pal what happened to you 😭. Probably the only one of the kids to get less slutty on empires than she was before. Traded in her colorful clothes made from rich fabrics, for more dull and comfy clothes. Also she has a wedding ring now)

Spawned above Gobland, in the middle of a fucking snowstorm. Took her five days to get off the mountain and an additional day to find Goblands entrance, so she had a severe case of frost bite and hypothermia. It’s a miracle she came out of the experience with only one foot lost

Stayed in Sanctuary at first because no way in hell she’s gonna live underground, but she moved to the Ancient Capital when she started studying the rift

Pixl has the most books and ancient texts out of anyone on the server, so she gets to read as much as she wants in exchange for assisting him from time to time

She wears a monocle because one too many head traumas leading to bad eyesight in that eye

Liana desperately wants to leave the Empires Server, not just because the one thing she’s good at (selling and swindling) is a useless skill when everything is bought through carefully calculated trades, but also because of the divide it brought upon them, with everyone being spread out across the server and barely seeing each other

(Also she wants to find Hermitcraft because if Joel, Jimmy, and Scott are alive then her dads must be there. It’s a selfish reason but she’s never admit it to being the truth)

She does like the Elytras though, her bird brain gets happy to fly and she does that more than what is probably necessary. Also it’s difficult for her to walk, so yeah

In her pursuit to find the answer to the rift’s mystery, she grows kind of distant from the others, but excuses it with the ends justifying the means

So yeah. Scammer girl needs a nap because she strugglin

Wes Double-SV

(I love making Wes because he’s just a fricking beast, tall broad and strong, but I also know that if he failed at a task he would just start crying. Gentle Giant more like fragile giant. But also my boy kinda thicc tho ngl)

Wes would spawn close to Animalia, and would probably be scared shitless out of the wandering foxes and frogs. And by Lizzie and her freaky mask face with the empty eyes

He would also stay in Sanctuary at first, but would quickly be put off by Sausage. The overly friendly nature by a total stranger just doesn’t sit right with him, also he’s terrified of his dog (It’s what happens when you watch your dads’ corpses get ripped to shreds by a bunch of feral dogs)

Wes would instead find a place in Gobland, an underground city based around mining and machinery. He’s always been more of an underground person, dating Jekiv and all who can’t really go in sunlight, plus mining was an easy way to pass the time on Double Life

Built a railway tunnel to The Evermoore the minute he joined Gobland too, for easy access to Jekiv. He’s a sap

Still nervous around most of the emperors, but he’s grown fond of fWhip, and he’s used to the Double Life emperors, otherwise he’d rather they stay back

Gertrude

(Girl’s so special she getting two designs. This is the first time Gert is not wearing her sunglasses over her eyes actually, so Gertrude eye reveal whoop whoop. Honestly I love making Gert designs, because while she’s got a lot of butch energy, she’s a femme at heart)

Gertrude spawned in Glimmer Grove, and froze solid at the sight of the castle from her childhood dreams. This made her an easy target to Katherine, who jus saw a big hulking figure with wolf ears and went on the attack. They cleared that up pretty quickly

Katherine, feeling bad about literally trying to murder her, offered Gertrude a place to stay in her Empire, which is essentially a dream come true for her, especially since it’s princess fairytale + Monster hunting

A problem did quickly rise however, with the whole werewolf thing Gert has got going on

Gertrude couldn’t exactly tell her boss that she was a werewolf since they are considered monsters, but she couldn’t hide it every month either

Hilarity ensues

No but fr the full moons got really exhausting for all of the dl kids since they had to keep Weretrude away from Katherine, but while a werewolf she has no real awareness or idea what’s going on so they have to keep an eight feet, four hundred pound feral wolf from all of the empire area and from killing them. Basically Johnny and Wes, the two most durable of the kids, wrestled her away from the main area, while the other four played distractions to get her to chase them

No one enjoys it

Johnny

(There’s only so many western cowboy ranch outfits alright, so I said fuck it let there be sluttiness. Also the bracelet he’s wearing is a friendship bracelet from Lily, the warden he befriended. She had a similar one made from straw and strands from his hair)

Appeared in the Eversea, and stuck around for a few hours to check the place out before he heard about Tumblr Town, then he immediately took off

Jimmy was not at all prepared to have this fire child who looks like he’s been through actual hell (Because reminder they come from the dl server, where Johnny actually had moss and vines growing on him and looks half dead) hug him so tightly his back almost pops

Johnny was disappointed to say the least that his dad had no memory of him, in fact disappointed doesn’t cover it he was fucking distressed, but he spent an entire week just following Jimmy around when he was doing his chores, explaining everything from his childhood, to Tango, to their Warden Child, to the ranch. He also built a ranch in that period

Jimmy was kinda iffy about it at first, I mean who wouldn’t be, but Johnny is as stubborn as his fathers and refused to leave him be. Turns out Johnny is a great addition to Tumblr Town with his immunity to heat, tendency for hard manual labor, and absolute love for farm work. Plus, the flame bite came in handy, and the creeper explosion resistance

He doesn’t mind the toy jokes that much either, he’s more annoyed by the build pranks he had to take down, especially the ones that disturb the animals

It took him about two weeks to befriend all the wardens in Gobland. fWhip was not thrilled by the process to get there, but he enjoys to not have to worry about Warden attacks since they’re now pretty civil

Also has a horse named Butternut he loves more than his friends

Jassy

(Queen got two designs as well lol. I made her mask a bandana in her first design and a headband in the second, just cuz fun. Also her hair is a pain in the ass because it’s so inconsistent, why did I add that to her character. Also, just like Liana, she has a wedding ring <3)

Jassy appeared right under Stratos, kinda confused by the empty village but realized that there might be someone up in the floating city above her, so she grabbed yeeted up her grappling hook like a true ninja and climbed up

At first the floating city seemed just as abandoned as the town below, until she stumbled upon a young child dressed in a purple toga who was playing with a small sheriff doll that looked a tiny bit familiar

The child seemed fairly calm with her being there, answering any questions she had such as where am I (‘Stratos’) who are you (‘I’m Hermes!’) where are your parents (Daddy Sausage is in Sanctuary and Thunder Daddy is building a few islands away’), and what is that in your hand (‘It’s my sheriff toy! Thunder Daddy made it!)

Jassy guessed that she could probably get more info from this “Thunder Daddy”, so she grabbed Hermes tiny hand to help guide her and jumped from island to island, til she reached the one Hermes was pointing at and oh fuck that’s my dad

Yet somehow the fact that her dad was putting on the persona on an eleven feet tall god didn’t surprise her at all

While Jassy stays in Stratos sometimes, mainly because of her new little brother Hermes but also because it’s nice to see her dad again, she mainly stays in Eversea of all places. She was raised on a boat, what can I say. So when Hermes stays with Sausage, Jassy leaves to be a pirate

Jassy actually gets along surprisingly well with Joey. She’s a bit of a straight man to him, especially during his pursuit of Katherine

Jekiv

(One of my favorite tropes in media is ‘Goth emo character who looks evil but is actually really nice’. Jek is the opposite of that. He dresses in bright pastels and Flowy clothes, but he’s a fucking zombie necromancer dude who can fuck you up so bad. What an icon. Also the reason behind the many skulls, is because he likes to accessorize with skulls, teeth, and brain matter. Skulls just happen to be the only option here lol)

Jekky boy would appear in the Ancient City, and have quite a hard time to explain to Pixl that no, he is not some old king brought back to life and no, he’s not cursed by some ancient artifact he was just born like this. Needless to say Jekiv didn’t stay there for long

No, he’d seek out a more dark and damp place since he’s not too great with sunlight, and this cursed swamp seems like the perfect place! Sure, he was warned that the place might eat his soul, but he’s not even sure if he had a soul, so it should be fine!

Shelby didn’t really mind having the zombie hybrid staying with her, he was able to collect any potions ingredients she needed from the mangrove swamps without much of a risk, plus it was nice to have someone besides tortoise around

That was until Jekiv got interested in the art of necromancy. Necromancy is very common on every server, I mean theres fricking zombies and skeletons everywhere, but to be able to control the dead into doing your bidding is not so common. In fact it’s classified as dark magic and is illegal for witches

Jekiv does not care about that. He likes death, plus he’s the weakest fighter out of all the kids so he gotta have something to protect him, even if that is a zombie army. A bit morbid since he himself is a zombie, but morality and ethicality has never been his thing

Novo

(Between all of my babies, Novo is the one with the most drastic design changes between his first appearance and now. Man started out as looking like an annoying kid, and now looks like an annoying Slut. Girlboss <3. For real though, I am very proud of this Novo design he looks unhinged af and I love him. Out of all the kids, he’s the one I enjoy the look of the most)

Novo appeared in Chromia, and if you know these characters at all then you should know how that went. Novo got one look at Scott, punched him square in the face, spouted some Australia-Scottish curse he invented himself and then stormed off, leaving poor Scottie quite confused

I imagine that the word of the kids would spread over the server quickly, but also that Oli would not hear about it at all, so when he found a tiny elf boy looking through the frankly pathetic storage system he had in his tent he would be quite stun shocked

Still, Novo has flair, drama, and a very threatening aura, so he’s allowed to stay

Novo is absolutely not a singer however. As I’ve said before you can barely understand the lad because of his Frankenstein accent, and even if you did know what he was singing he’s very off key. Can’t play any instruments either, and is too impatient to learn any

So, he takes to the second part of being a Bard

Okay not that part, he’s in a happy monogamous relationship thank you very much. No the other second part

Singing and playing loudly while following someone around til they actually pay you to stop

Never speaks with Scott after the first day, and all the other dl kids feel that it isn’t there place to tell him what’s going on, so all Scott knows about Novo is that he’s apparently his son and that he flat out despises him. He’s tried to form some sort of relationship with him, but Novo is both stubborn and spiteful and does in fact bite, to no one’s surprise

Tries to serenade Gertrude to the best of his ability, and even though it sounds dreadful (especially to her and her fucking insane dog hearing) she appreciates the attempts

Other small notes:

Gertrude does not like Chromia, because she’s got dog color blindness and the place centers around colors. The place makes her feel inferior :(

Jassy and Liana had a second more “official” wedding on Empires, with clothes designed by Katherine and a ceremony officiated by Pixl. Joel walked Jassy down the aisle

The kids have a lot of leftover mental scars from the dl server, including the fact that they tend to forget that food is once again accessible to them, so they can eat stuff again and not just repeatedly starve themselves

Joey believes Jekiv to be some sort of skeleton creature. He’s not, but he’s clad in a lot on bones and his skin is mauled to the point where bones are sticking out. Jekiv doesn’t visit The Eversea

I would tell y’all how it would go with the kids when the hermits came to Empires, but I kinda wanna see how that arc ends before I plan any storyline out

I do have Hermitcraft designs already created though

Actually they were made before these designs

Anyways baiiiiiii
