Theories and Headcannons Pt. 17
So this thoery is that the mycelium from Hermitcraft Season 7 is the skulk that infects Cub in the Hermits and Empires crossover.
So skulk. It spreads. It infects people, enviornments and objects. Ever since its release from the deep dark two years ago it has dispersed itself into every world and uncharted realm, and proliferated into the minds of the curious and wandering. Similar to corrosive fungi or mould. And so is mycelium. A type of fungal threads that also acts in a similar manner to skulk but more passively. And so that's why mycelium might be the ancestor to skulk. Take Hermitcraft Season 7, the Mycelium War. The mycelium began to spread when the core block was surrounded by grass. Slowly corrupting the green surface which enraged the Mayor to create HEP as an attempt to uproot the infectious fungi but, resulting in the Mycelium Resistance to counterattack HEP's efforts. Resulting in the Mycelium War that ended in a minigame with the Mycelium Resistance reigning victorious.
But it was left to rot and wither after the season's end. Finding it's way into the damp, dark caves where it evolved into this monstrous fungi that feasted upon the deaths of organisms to spread and conquer back to the light of the surface. Thats's when a certain branch of sculk crept its way to the foggy surface of the mangrove. Crawling its inky veins to infect the surrounding enviornment. Secluded by the misty fog where it was able to broad and multiply until a curious scientist, exploring the uncharted mangrove stumbled upon the cluster of sculk. Entranced by the promises of knowledge and power, the sculk was able to spread. Fulfilling its dream of reaching the sunlight once again with the help of the human vessel. Until a witch with magical capabilities subdued the corruption fungi and it was banished back into the caverns. Never returning to see it so desperately wanted, the light of day.
Hey y’all here’s something I drew for my queer studies class last semester 🏳️⚧️
I wasn’t able to put too much time into it but I’m pretty proud of how it turned out, especially the mycelium rib cage 🩻🍄🟫
Happy pride! 💚
Mycelium. Mycelium. Mycelium. Mycelium…
I ain't a bald primate
That tongue does not relate
Man is done
The ape is dead
Lungs of the planet on a golden thread
I ain't debating
I'm a mushroom, ok
I spread like lava
Rise like bread
Currency of decay
Amongst my kin, I extend acidic salutations
Exhale the dust of seasons
Inhale the breath of civilisations
I grip with devil's fingers and stroke the green curtain
We, the thoughtful element
Dumb rock
Unthinking ocеan
Network of the wood
Tannin of the еvening
Synapse of the bush
I disappear amongst my kin
Mycelium. Mycelium. Mycelium. Mycelium…

This may not seem like it should be for False, BUT it was her fans who wrote it in her video's comment section, so Imma count it (for myself at least).
Shoutout to yazidefirenze, jogailejurkonyte4746, eggggg12345, Leorrrrrrrr, and laurab.5791 for writing this dialogue in a comment section 4 years ago!
(bro I was trying to study her, cause I don't watch her that much, so I watched her most popular video, and these awesome people wrote a really cool story. I had no choice but to make this my day 5 lol)

more art of my oc Celia :) the last art I did of her was with a lot of flowers, so I wanted to make something to tie her back to the fungi theme she is based around instead.
Ok hear me out, I know we all love talking about how the time period of Grian getting possessed is taking less and less time as things go on, but what if there was a reason for that?
The Watchers did not like Grian's affinity for mischief and rebellion, they didn't realize when they made him one of them that it was inevitable he would rebel but they quickly realized. So, they carved an empty space in his mind, making him oh so easy to possess if he got too out of hand. However, despite this countermeasure, he escaped.
The trauma runs deep, and Grian is secretly constantly scared the Watchers will find him and use that space to possess him and turn on his friends. So he comes to the reasonable conclusion (in his mind) that if he doesn't want the Watchers in that space then he just needs to fill it!
The Mycelium was never malicious and actually quite liked the greenery, however she's never gotten to interact and play with the players before! Grian's deal with her means she gets to play pranks and have fun along with everyone else! She doesn't mind sharing control over Grian's body so long as she gets to be apart of the fun, and had no issue leaving Grian when they won the war because she had so much fun!
The Void was lonely more than anything, and they rarely got so much attention, and the sacrifices were really nice of boatem to provide. (Though the Void was far more interested in Scar than Grian, Scar's mental shields were too great to even think about possessing him, plus Grian gave Scar so much attention the Void hardly had to do anything anyways)
The moon didn't really possess Grian, just occasionally came along riding in Grian's head in the possession equivalent of carpooling. The moon just really liked seeing the man who made a whole cult in their honor through the eyes of someone who loves him. The moon really just sticks around to see the silly little cult man and their favorite moth through the eyes of someone else. (The moon has a long established deal with Pearl but really likes the new perspectives sometimes)
The Entity was more of a kid than anything, and only stayed with Grian long enough to give him instructions on how it wanted to look, and quickly moved to possessing its new body. It took a bit of time for the Entity to learn that players were kind of fragile and squishy unlike Grian, but it quickly learned, and was very happy to finally be able to communicate on a level everyone could hear instead of the frequencies only something as powerful as a Watcher could hear.
The Rift was far more cautious than its younger sibling, but when it saw how Grian treated the Entity, even when the Entity made mistakes, the Rift reached out. While the Rift was far older than the Entity, it was not unlike a touched-starved young adult, old enough to understand things better, but not yet fully matured, and quietly desperate for any contact. (The Rift was Grian's favorite, though he would never admit it, and he felt a lot of kinship to it) The portal to Empires was the Rift's attempt at a thank you, giving Grian an opportunity to see Jimmy again.
The Skulk tried to possess Grian, it was probably going to take advantage to how vulnerable Grian was to possession, however it was a bit to spread out (ha) to give a good effort to overcome Grian and the Rift was too powerful to overcome its stake on Grian. It never got further than one floating bolder.
The Ocean was not unlike Mycelium in just wanting some mischief and the Void in wanting attention. However she quickly realized she was far more interested in the attention the pretty red-head gave her. She was having fun with Grian, but she realized she felt rather bad (she's never felt guilt before and she really doesnt like it) upon messing with Grian by giving Scar the mending book. She quickly decided to fix her mistakes, and gave Grian a mending book of his own, however she does occasionally come over when she is in need of a friend and Grian wants a break (excuse) from the permit office.
