#I AM A HERMITCRAFT FAN

[soonysy]

Day 271 is a redraw!

So, I saw a lot of people telling that they came from Hermitcraft to DreamSMP. I, in my turn, came from DreamSMP to Hermitcraft. Consequently, I have some VERY old arts with dome members of SMP, like Tommyinnit

So I decided to redraw one of my first artworks posted on Internet!

The old piece (22nd of October, 2022):

Honestly, I have no idea what is going on in Dream SMP community rn :P

Day 126- shrine

[joifee]

"But a guy can dream, right?"

Another amazing opportunity to draw for the amazing fanfic author @violet-fire-cat as part of the @hermitshippingbigbang!

Their stardew-valley inspired ethubs fanfic "Spring Blossoms" is sooo freaking cute and I was so excited drawing for it, that i put my old comic skills to the test :D

Summary of The Cat of The Year poll atrocities of 2023/2024

I'm sure that most people on this side of tumblr have seen the Jellie vs. Nefarious Anglerfish poll going around with like 60k votes at this point, and I'd really like clear up some of what happened since I was around for the whole thing.

Url blocked out for op's privacy. They have already left but don't look for it if you haven't seen it/don't harrass them if you already have.

1. The previous round (preparation)

I discovered the poll in its previous round, needless to say she beat Jort's ass severely. This was around the 3rd of january, meaning that this round finished before jellie's passing with only about 7k votes. Op did add their own piece of propaganda from their main:

...which was FINE. (except for stuff we'll see later) Of course running a poll while biased isn't ideal but I for one didn't even know they were the op until much later. I also added my own piece in a separate thread, and they didn't interact with it at all. There was no drama.

2. The Finale

Jellie unfortunately passed away right before the starting of this poll, which was the catalyst for what happened next. Op did exactly as last time and added a slightly more mean spirited encouragement to vote for the other contestant. This is the point where I believe that i fucked up personally.

I added this thinkpiece accusing op of associating all mcyters with Dream (who we all hate for the record) despite them not alluding to him at all. This is because tumblr has a history of disimissing all mcyters as... everything that dream was been accused of. Op did allude to not caring for mcyt. but they didn't say what i accused them of. This is important to point out because this reblog of mine is still being spread. Jellie was in the lead at the time, but not by the time i woke up next morning.

I won't be including anyone else's additions because I don't want to put blame on any specific person. Just felt like clearing up mine.

3. The Fuckening

Some time later op made this post to their personal blog:

which is insanely shitty because, as other people have pointed out, the "lame ass youtube cat" didn't die to inconvinience op or ruin their fun, and people would have probably voted for her anyway because jelly is universally beloved in the mcyt community. This isn't anti democratic. This post was added to the poll with a caption saying op should not be running this poll, and it took off. Op later went on to say that this was a joke:

This apology was not taken well by people, (including me) because "you were not meant to see it" isn't an apology and they still very much made fun of someone's pet dying. Safe to say this did not make the drama stop and only added fuel to the flame. I believe this was the point where the conversation of mcyt fans being unjustly sent hate to was reignited.

We should discuss that! it's a real thing that happens often and is equal to childish bullying. However, in this case, OP was the only one getting sent hate to my knowledge. The notes were mostly saturated by mcyt fans, and even now i can only find one or two hateful stance towards us under the whole 20k notes post.

4. Conclusions

Op posted a second apology to the catoftheyear blog to try and calm people down (i believe this is comprehensive and a lot better than the previous one) The blog was deactivated shortly after, so i only have my phone screenshots of it that i also added to the poll itself at some point:

(Edit) Here's proof that op did not write the justification they got criticised for, from the notes of the original poll:

This apology didn't get seen, or get accepted by enough people, so op made this statement on their personal:

Needless to say I am deeply dissapointed (and guilty) that it's come to this. Yes, op said tasteless things that made us all angry, but telling a human being to commit suicide is worse than being insensitive about a stranger's pet dying. Even after I posted about the blog being decatived i had someone come into my notes to wish that "they never find happiness" i mean wtf. This isn't like shipping where we can do whatever without the content creator's input. this is fucking harrowing and i can't imagine how i'd feel if this was done in my/my pet's name especially after losing them as recently as a week ago.

I hope no one from hermitcraft who is on here (let alone scar holy shit) learns about this like they did with previous lighthearted tournaments. If you truly respect the creators you claim to be a fan of as people, you do not tell people to kill themselves over them. And finally, let Jellie fucking rest, guys. she had a long, good life. I hope op can come back and also avoids behaving like this if they ever wish to do so. I'm angrier at mcytblr, though.

Joel SmallishBeans mentions that he looks at fanart on tumblr.

“He’s here!” People scream, “Scatter!”

As everyone runs away, I, unmoving, look him dead in the eye & say,

“Let him watch.”

Random Joel Winning headcanons

Copied from discord apologies if formatting is weird

Thinking about Joel winning Wild Life and consequences I like to think Life Series people as vaguely separate from their other servers (sorta excluding Martyn)

Like Life Series Jimmy has very few memories of Empires (and "none" of other Life Series). It is however, very real. It's not a game, or it is as much as a game as the Hunger Games. It is game in name only. There may be positivity, but it is not what will be remembered

But Empires Jimmy remembers it as a game. He has fun playing and jokes about it, but it isn't that real. He may retain some relationships (take your pick, ranchers, flower husbands, flower ranchers not important here) that are real and were formed in the games, but it is otherwise just a game

The moment someone wins thought, their server counterpart feels it become very real. It was an adjustment for Scar, who could barely look Etho in the eye for a while

Now lets apply this to Joel (and Boat Boys)

Hermitcraft Joel loves to joke around with Etho. He's having fun, he might still like Etho, but it's just jokes. He is very loyal to his wife, and it was just a game anyways. It was randomly rolled for goodness sake!

But, he won. and suddenly it feels very real. Etho tries to make a joke, something about Joel not dedicating his win to him, but Joel doesn't quip back. He runs away. How does he explain to Lizzie, his wife, who he still loves very much, that he thinks he loves someone as well. Something that was supposed to be a game. Something that is still a game for Lizzie. How do you tell the guy who you most certainly have a crush on to stop joking about it because it brings up trauma? It's just a game, after all

OH OH

If it's a Gem Joel finale

It's even worse

How can he look at someone that he loves so much (as a sister. Joel/Gem doesn't do it for me personally) when he murdered them in cold blood. Strangled her perhaps

Now the fight club is bad memories. How can he take pride in killing Gem? He keeps getting invited and he's running out of excuses to say no

[whereisgem]

Gem deserves a lego house, don't you think?

Yes, she does deserve a lego house
