a quick reminder for hermitblr/trafficblr to please tag your ship content properly.

it's basic respect to make sure ships can be easily avoided; not just for content creators who might stumble across them but your fellow fans who simply don't want to see it.

the catch all tags are #hermitshipping and #trafficshipping respectively. also many duos have a separate ship name for more specific filtering so please keep them separate and don't crosstag.

some examples off the top of my head:

treebark vs renchanting

gempearl vs shinyduo

scarian vs desert duo

if you're unsure, a lot of ship names follow general ship name principles [aka smushing names together] (mumscarian, grumbo, smalletho, etc) while duo names are silly and tend to apply to an existing alliance (the buttercups, waffle duo, boat boys, etc). there isn't a universal naming system though so i recommend checking the tags yourself.

and as always remember the wise words of the one and only zombiecleo:

here is also a link to the transcript of the video provided by the wonderful mods of the hermitcraft reddit <3

An Objective Summary of Iskall85’s Video

I am making this summary of Iskall’s claims so that you do not have to watch his video and inadvertently support him. This is an OBJECTIVE summary containing only his points, and leaving my opinions out of it. I must state however that I do not support Iskall. I don’t feel like inserting any more of my opinions into this so as to not get attacked by either side.

TW: MENTIONS OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT, DEPRESSION, SUICIDAL THOUGHTS, THREATS

All of the things henceforth stated are ALLEGED, and I, InsoucianceArt, do not necessarily believe or support them.

A Hermit was presented with the allegations and brought it to the other Hermits without Iskall’s knowledge.

The Hermits summoned Iskall for a hearing with a deadline of 1.5 hours (time zones considered).

Iskall had contacted the police and was advised to not comply with the Hermits’ demands. Iskall told the Hermits of this, but they told him that if he didn’t attend the hearing he would be publicly removed from Hermitcraft. 

Iskall resigned.

Iskall has no income, has received hate and threats, has seen no reason to continue living.

The investigation on the rumours and allegations is still ongoing. Iskall was advised not to speak in public, hence why he has only done so now.

Iskall goes through the typical explanation of cancel culture and why things can be blown out of proportion

One of the victims has done this (aka bringing claims of sexual harassment from a content creator) before.

Iskall states that Hermitcraft should have waited.

Iskall has increased the security of his private life.

Iskall compares cancel culture to witch hunts.

Nobody has the right to infringe upon Iskall’s private life.

Hermitcraft was biased when they posted the tweet and subsequently did not moderate the Reddit forum.

One of the Vault Hunters devs has been calling shots and claiming they have taken over the project, all without Iskall’s approval. However, Iskall claims ownership of Vault Hunters, as he owns the rights to it.

The developers have received due compensation for their work on VH. 

5 VH devs wrote a document that, according to Iskall’s solicitor, can be seen as extortion. It demands full ownership of VH, its assets, and its funds. Iskall did not sign this document and sees this as a huge betrayal. These devs are now no longer representing VH or part of Iskall’s team.

Iskall is going to continue work on VH. 

Another spat about cancel culture.

Iskall states the goal of all of this was to “delete him from the internet” and to wreck every opportunity he had/has. He states he will never go that low himself.

Iskall is waiting for the police to finish their investigation. 

Iskall thanks his remaining supporters and says to keep an eye out on his Twitch and YouTube, meaning he will probably return to content creation.

Then he explodes a pile of diorite for some reason idfk man

typical late night stream vibe

[nerdpearls]

to say my piece: firstly, fuck iskall.

secondly, its very easy to tell by the outpouring of hate comments on many of the hermits' recent videos (after his response) that he reached a target of young, impressionable fans. not only that, but also a darker side of the hermitcraft fandom that i like to ignore.

as much as i love hermitcraft, its "golden" status that its gotten from remaining "unpolitical" and "drama-free" has perpetuated a very ugly-hearted group of fans who cant find solace in the more openly left-wing smp communities. so they turn to hermitcraft, where they can hide a little more easily. and this has been a group of people slowly cultivating numbers for years now, and there's enough of them that docm77's gay beacon, or the number of pride mcc participants (and queer hermits) can't ward off.

these people have always been the ones brushing concerns in the community under the rug, the "this isn't the place for politics," and "i watch hermitcraft to get AWAY from that stuff." types. they are never going to believe the women that were harassed over the male creator they've latched onto as someone who's "for them" and "un-cancelable." these people have been waiting for this opportunity. and you'll see them say "hermitcraft is over," and "they can't come back from this," but none of that is true. they're the only ones who believe that.

and as awful as all of this is, the hate and the VERY thinly veiled misogyny-- there is a bright-side in weeding those people out. "i don't think i'll be able to watch hermitcraft after this" good fucking riddance.

iskall knew what he was doing by bringing his shit response video to his youtube audience. instead of the reddit, instead of twitter, but to a space that HE moderates. the space with the highest concentration of people who he know will defend him.

my only hope is that the hermits double down on this, and that they have the backbone to make it clear that these people are not welcome in the community. and neither is iskall. and that the larger chunk of us continue to support the victims, and uplift what they have to say. i can't imagine how this must feel for them.

Welcome to the project!

Hi! We're the Life Series Novel Project, a group of 3 writers with the goal of adapting every Life series season into a novel, one book per season. This is a YA (young adult) adaptation so blood, violence, and occasionally swearing will be included. All books will be free for download online here and on our Bluesky (@lifenovelproject.bsky.social) once we complete them.

If you want to help support the project, we'll have applications for guest artists and beta readers open soon, or you can just share this project by reblogging! Life series members are welcome to interact and know about this project, but please don't pressure or spam them about reading this. This is an absolute labor of love from a few massive life series fans, and we hope you'll enjoy the final product.

Now, let's meet the writers!

You may call me Rose or Rosie (@rosiesweetberries), and I’ve been a life series fan since Secret Life. I’m the main author for this project. I’ve written a couple of AUs but I’m also a self-published author looking forward to sharing my own stories. My favorite genre is horror so that is what my novels are most likely going to be based around. Although this particular project is a bit different of course. My favorite lifers are Tango, Impulse and Skizz but doesn’t mean I don’t watch everyone else’s pov straight afterwards. You know it’s me when you see 🌹

I'm Moss (@mossfeathers), and I've been a life series fan since way back in Double Life! I'm one of the primary editors for this project. I'm a recreational writer and I love to write horror and dark, creepy stuff, but I don't post most of what I write since it's not usually fics. My favorite lifer is Bigb, but I watch pretty much everyone and my other favorites are Etho and Jimmy. I'll be signing off my posts with Mod 🪴

My names Phil (@ respectundead44) and I've been a life series fan since before Last life started. I'm the other primary editor for this project. I've written many short stories and fanfics, many of which can be found pinned at the top of my blog. I love horror and psychology but I also dabble with some fluff. Though it rarely ends well.... :) My favourite lifers are Imp and Skizz but there's rarely a pov I miss. Mod 🤘

Thank you for reading! If you have any further questions, our askbox is open for anything. Remember to check back in soon for beta reader and artist applications!

I've said it before, but I fully believe that, in Third Life, Grian intended to leave Scar, and Scar intended to betray Grian. The fact that we got to the point of a fair final duel between them is a testament to the weight of the unexpected affection they both ended up carrying for each other.
