#admin derp

[dragonflavoredcake]

Xisuma, running a game: Name something that a burglar would NOT want to see when they break into a house.

Zedaph, hitting a buzzer: NAKED GRANDMA!

Xisuma: Okay, naked—WHAT?!

Etho, Impulse, and Skizz: *dying of laughter*

Tango: Yeah, no, I don't want to see that.

Xisuma, regretting every decision he's ever made: Okay, "naked grandma" wins.

Zed: *WILD CHEERING*

[hmshermitcraft]

The identify of who upkeeps hermitcraft has been a secret ever since Generik left. With him gone, and no one claiming to have the role of admin, it has to be someone right? But no one has ever stepped forward.

A lot of people think it’s Keralis, but he vehemently denies it, and no one with a sane mind would make Bdub’s admin. Joe neither claims nor denies that he’s the admin. X is too much of a derp to run the server.

At least, that’s what they think.

The only reason X didn’t talk about it was because he was given the role when he was very socially awkward and unsure of how to approach others, and he didn’t want to draw attention to himself. But he’s not sure how to discuss it now, until he was actually caught by Scar on the edge of falling asleep while working on the code.

Xisuma took the role on because of necessity - the server had so much potential for good, somebody just needed to keep it going. That person became him.

He worried about being treated differently by the Hermits, especially as the server grew in size. The server's admin became a figure of myth, some mysterious figure behind the scenes. And that's not Xisuma! Xisuma is a little clumsy, always willing to help and he likes to think a friend to the Hermits. Not a mystery.

And then, one day, Scar finds Xisuma barely awake, resting his head on his arms with various screens in front of him. He was chunk pruning, necessary for the health of the server and sure, technically it didn't need doing just yet but he was awake and once he started, he might as well finish-

He begs Scar not to tell anybody and Scar just laughs, patting X's head.

"What, that you've been working too hard again? Come on, X, let's get you in bed."

Xisuma still can't tell if Scar didn't know what he was doing, or if he pretended not to. But he resolves to come clean to the hermits... Soon.

Do yall have any xisuma or evil x fic recs, where x isn't a serious/responsible/stoic/calm/all knowing/etc. Admin? Bc those fics r nice and all but i miss reading about him being a derp :( he can be a responsible admin, but let him be silly too!!! Let him participate in shenanigans!!! Let him be a furry!

(preferable platonic fics)

[402] hermit season 10 designs 2/28: Xisuma!

And here we have the derp admin who is very British but also buff :-)

Also here's some more stuff like the height + body type, some expressions for his screen thing, and his face :]]

[tuptastic]

your questions always make me very happy!

So Ex is actually just...a regualr player? Sort of? He doesn't have a Binary Form is what I'm getting at. When Xisuma's code reset the world kind of panicked and spit them both out, trying to make sense of what it was looking at. As a result, Ex is a fairly average player with some glitches to him and a base level of admin powers.

He's still a bit of a little shit, but a toned down one. He enjoys playing around with the hermits and messing with them, but occasionally takes it too far and has to be reeled back in. When he isn't with the hermits, he's spending his time world hopping through different servers and worlds and enjoying his time (after all, he didn't really choose hermitcraft? hermitcraft kind of chose him? so occasionally he needs a break and to do his own thing to reset himself)

He does spend a lot of time with Zedaph, but also enjoys spending time with his brother and whatever hermit will engage with him for the day. He also enjoys his solitude, and some days finds more enjoyment sitting over the server watching everyone working without anyone interacting with him. He has a much shorter social battery than the others, and its usually gauge-able by how his pranks go and how he responds to others playing them on him - the more aggressive and mean-spirited he gets, the worse off hes getting, but he doesn't know how to say it so he lashes out to push them away. He has free access to come and go as he pleases, and the Hermits usually won't move worlds or servers without him returning.

poppy's got her spicy son and her derp son. the perfect set.

watcher!xisuma headcanon headcanons (links to the initial post!)

Xisuma keeps forgetting he doesn't have wings anymore every time he tries to engage in any form of wing gesture or language and has to pause to think. Made worse by the fact he used to have two sets of them.

However being raised by winged folk very much means he finds comfort in wings so sometimes when he's stressed out a winged servermate will find him to cover him up and help comfort him and help him calm down

Barely anyone remembers what he used to look like before his code was reset and he took on his Admin-form. Xisuma himself doesn't remember. It's almost like the code reset to let him exist with his players really tried to get rid of all of him...

There is absolutely nowhere he can technically safely breathe. While he won't die straight away in some atmospheres, which is why he can sometimes get away with just a lower mask for his lungs, he wasn't meant to exist in his current form and the world is really just out to get him the majority of the time. Too much prolonged exposure to the air can cause him a lot of pain and glitches that are difficult to repair or that hurt.

Xisuma has a Binary Form, which is related to his code reset (he is one of a few who has this form). It's technically his actual appearance, with his player-model being cast overtop of it due to the blank-slate of the Binary Form. It is an all-white humanoid figure with three sets of eyes (Xisuma has two on his left and one on his right), beetle-like wings that hover behind their back, and a waist, neck, and elbows detached and reconnected by 'tubes' containing binary code. Xisuma's also has pointed ears, as does his player model, his facial scar, and a large scar across the chest from damage he took from the coding reset. In this form he's extremely quick, but has very low defenses and hit tolerance and can be taken down fairly easily, and is unable to wear armor in this form due to its unstable nature. It's because of this he chooses to use the cover of his player model, which, while it takes energy to maintain, keeps him safer and better protected.

Hermitcraft's first watcher, Poppy, had a world before hermitcraft that she lost to a world corruption. Because of the extreme way in which she lost her players, she chose for a long period of time to separate herself from them and not to allow herself to interact directly with them.

Almost all of Poppy's nicknames for Xisuma involve some variation of "little xyz". The most common are "little galaxy" and "little bird", though the second has become more of a fond recollection over time as he, well, no longer has wings unless he loses his player model cover.

Ex formed when Xisuma's player model reset. It was difficult for them at first to figure each other out, but the two are fairly close, even if it doesn't seem like it. They like to spend time (elytra, lmao too many wings here) flying together (even if sometimes they end up knocking each other out of the sky). Poppy is very fond of him. Her son and his weird twin brother he dragged home one day out of the trash.

hermitcraft eventually deals with conflict from a rogue watcher specifically related to Poppy and her previous world. It is incredibly rough and in the process of her trying to get rid of them a secondary world corruption almost occurs, and a LOT more. (I'd tell more about how that goes, but I want to save it for some artwork and maybe some writing (and gauge interest in seeing this event lol)

Im having a good time

[much-sports-anime-imagines]

I was at my therapist yesterday, just talking about stuff like you do at therapy, and I said something about writing myself into stories with my favorite characters (95% of my writing, tbh) and we were talking about suicidal ideation and all that jazz and he said something like, “Yeah, it’d be interesting to explore how your favorite characters would react to that.”

SO, here’s a completely self-indulgent thing that I randomly just wrote bc I can and I wanted to, I’ll slowly come out of my radio silence back to this blog sometime........

but i feel like scenario blogs are slowly dying off, maybe that’s just the fate of them, the fandom loses interest and the admins slowly get eaten by real life...

Kise:

“Hey, babe, what's going on?” he asked, walking into your shared bedroom, where you were curled up in blankets, cocooning yourself against everything.

“Nothing, I just... it's nothing, don't worry about it,” you muttered, not moving from the protection of the covers.

“Obviously it's not nothing, something's bothering you...” his voice was soft and he brushed his fingers over your hair that poked out from the blankets. “Why don't you tell me?”

You finally showed your face, one basically devoid of emotion, your eyes seeming to have no light in them, something that broke his heart.

“Well, I just... I can't stop the spiraling thoughts... and it's just gotten worse and worse...”

“Like how bad?” his eyebrows scrunch together.

“Like... I want to take a whole bottle of ibuprofen at once to see if it'll finally off me...” you muttered into the blankets.

His eyes open wide, worry etched into his face. “You didn't though, did you?! You're ok?! You-?!”

“No, I didn't. But it kept crossing my mind and every time it seemed more and more appealing...”

He sighed in relief, wrapping his arms around you in your blanket fortress. “Well... don't. I don't want you to leave me...” he whispered.

“I know. But it's just really hard some days... like today...”

“You want to talk to me about it?”

“...maybe...”

He laid there with you, curled around you, your body so warm and wonderful against his, and you finally opened up to him.

“I just... I don't feel like I'm good enough, Ryouta...”

“Good enough for what?”

“You...? Life? In general, I guess? I don't know how to explain it, it's just... I feel like such a piece of trash all the time...”

He shook his head. “Even if you were a piece of trash, I'd still pick you up.”

You blinked and turned around, giving him an exasperated look while trying to hold back your laughter. “Did you...? Really? That was horrible.”

He smiled and kissed the tip of your nose. “Well it got you to smile, at least.”

“I guess it did...” you sighed, resigned to cuddling with him. “Thanks for being here...”

“Of course.”

Because at the end of the day, you made it through, no matter what, and even when you couldn't feel your way through the darkness, your boyfriend was there to help you.

[ihavenoconsistentname]

Every now and then I think about what my first impression of Zedaph was like it's hard to explain but I heard his name and expected like. Vibes that are completely different than his actual ones. It's like if you buy a dog online but you don't actually know what kind of dog you're getting all you know is the dog's name and hearing it you think "Oh this is gonna be like a German shepherd or a Rottweiler or something" and then you get there and its actually a tiny little pomeranian puppy

[snowy-bones]

Sorry I was trying to ask if Snowy, Frost, or Arctic had like bone piercings or if they wanted any.

oh uh...i just realized that...i'm sorry there nonni...uh...Snow would not have any, Frost maybe? And Arctic doesn't see a need for those things but he isn't against them.

[wyvern-of-whimsy]

Your opinions are correct 👍👍

I feel like the fandom doesnt use cleo in stories nearly as much as they should. They have so much untapped potential. Joe too, tho he is a bit more well-used. I love when they use joe fourth wall breaks in stories <3

Pearl will take on any public worker job and be happy about it. I love her and her building style is so painterly

Tbh i need to watch more false and gem. I really wanted to know what was up with emipres/hermitcraft false lore but i got incredibly busy :( i should go back and watch her season. I watched gem a bit when she first joined the smp and i LOVE her soup group interactions 🤩🤩

X is the most misunderstood character in this fandom. And by misunderstood i dont mean that hes a tragic character, i mean that ppl make him out to be a whole bunch of things that he rly isnt. They make him angrier and more controlling of the server a lot of the time, just by virtue of being admin. They also force him into dad character roles and forget abt how much of a derp he is.

(I rly like x as a character my bad 4 rambling)

I also love bdubs !!!!!! His voice is perfect for his character, hes so boisterous and bubbly. He plays into the bit and i love him for that

Tho nobody plays into the bit like ren-diggity-dog. He rly does just like playing slightly insane royalty. AND THE HIPPIE ARC!!! I hardly watched hc back in s6, but ive gone back and rewatched some of the hippie arc bc its so good

Cub idk too much abt except that hes also unhinged. I liked his sculk infestation arc on empires, and the vex arc too :D

Doc does play the villain great, and all throughout he still makes it clear that its just for the bit and every1 is still buds. My sister loves to watch his hour-long episodes and will not hesitate to talk your ears off abt how cool he is (and his tomatoes)

Holsten and carol are both my beloveds <3. I kinda wish more hcsmp plotlines used npcs

Who r ur fave hermitcraft characters and why?

characters?

that's a very interesting question, because the characters aren't necessarily the creators

that said.... hm.

Cleo, Joe, Pearl, False, Gem, and Xisuma are fun to write about (and isn't that truly the mark of good characters?).

Cleo has both the range and the attitude to star in many different roles, Joe looks at things from a slightly different direction than everyone else, Pearl has an energetic voice and a fantastic attitude, False can come up with the most insane rp idea on the spot and then go about her day as if it never happened, Gem is great (and more pertinently, has a fantastic sense of whimsy about anything she does), while Xisuma tends to get mischaracterised but in his videos has a pleasant combination of sarcasm, charm, intelligence, derpiness, and general relatability.

Others...

BDubs has a fantastic voice, especially when he's hamming it up.

Ren has two settings: dramatic and genuine

Cub usually doesn't rp but when he does (especially when pranking others) his characterisation makes me want to dissect him like an earthworm

Doc plays the villain roles really well

As far as NPCs, I like Holsten (for being hilerious) and Carol (for being mysterious)

There's probably someone I'm forgetting, too.

[nerd-breached-containment]

it’s in, bois.

[dragonflavoredcake]

Zedaph: It wasn't me! Impulse: Or me! Skizz: Not me either! Tango: I tried to stop them! Xisuma: I literally saw you do it and all of you were giggling

[hmshermitcraft]

Set in season 8

Ex just finish punishing xisuma over losing some derp coins. He had shocked x so much he had to fight back regressing from the stress of the whole thing.

Once xisuma knows ex was not there or around the building he is in he text keralis shakingnand tearing up as he slowly lost his fight to not regress at this every moment.

Once Keralis got there he ran into the room looking frantically for his shashamy. His eyes landed on the admin in a corner crying his eyes put and has clearly regressed.

Keralis took xisuma to his base and kept xisuma there even when ex comes over demanding for xisuma.

Keralis had to call doc to help

After all that xisuma refused to go back over and thanks to the shock torture ex did to him he lost the ability to see out of his left eyes and his nerves in his right leg don't want to work sometimes.

Ex is banned from seeing Xisuma. He'd be banned from the server completely if they had anything to say about it - but Xisuma still refuses to. They can't force him, not seeing the way he shakes if anybody raises their voice around him.

Doc takes to guarding the building Xisuma's in, making sure Ex can't slip past him. Several of the hermits are doing what they can to help Xisuma out. He's mostly confined to bedrest for several weeks. Iskall and False do their best to help him walk laps of the room whilst Mumbo and Impulse put together a leg brace. Whenever they need to take measurements, Keralis sits in, holding Xisuma's hand. They have a system figured out to get people to leave if Xisuma needs it. A discreet pattern of squeezes, and Keralis makes an excuse. They all know what it really means, so they're happy to leave as quickly as they can.

They also have to teach themselves to stay on Xisuma's right side. He jolts if somebody touches him or sneaks up on him. Only having half the field of vision isn't helping with that.

A lot of days he just sits in bed, unmoving. Keralis will sit with him, letting X come to him if he wants to. Eventually, Keralis encourages X to start playing with the holographic creative worlds and the pair begin designing new builds together. It seems to take his mind off things.

It's not easy. But at least Xisuma isn't doing this on his own.

[ghostyclay]

Failed at going back to sleep. Anyways, prevs tags:

YOU GET ME DUDE! YOU GET ME! I LOVE EVIL X UNCLE FICS OMG (the only ones i don't like is where x is like rly rly responsible and srs persons whos overly cautious and stoic and shit, bc it feels a lil ooc when hes not a total derp, but that's my subjective opinion!!! No hate to ppl who like the responsible admin X trope :D)

yall i need fic suggestions

Currently OBSESSED with evil x, my favorite tropes are:

1. Hes not evil. Hes trying to be, but he really sucks at it

2. Hes the scapegoat. The forgotten brother. Hes the one who always got blamed for everything and never had a support system. He became the thing they were scared of out of self defense, out of desperation. He never had a choice. He never wanted this. But at least hes the one getting hurt and blamed for everything, not his brother. (or, alternatively: hes so angry at his brother for getting everything evil x ever wanted to have)

[d-i-whitecards]

“GREP JOOS.”

[officiallyvoltron]

   Considering there are more characters showing up soon (I also need to add more of the blade of Marmora member tags aside Krolia and Kov.) I think after S7 drops, I will add the others together. I have been meaning to update the navigation page but since I have enough side blogs, I need to make sure not to confuse which blog gets what’s in its queue.

I will update it soon enough, promise. In the meantime I have update the sidebar with updated Voltron information. S7 release date, and Keith & Lance story. Should had added SDCC but...ha my brain is dead.

Reminder spoilers are tagged as “VLD7 spoilers” if you want to blacklist that. I will keep those tags even after S7 release, and then for two more weeks following it.

[steph-squatch]

Back to work irl today 🙃 I don't even have a consistent space to set up because we're sharing a campus with another school (HVAC fire on our campus and we're not allowed back in yet) and I've been assigned to share a room with a counselor, meaning one of us has to leave if there's an appointment because of confidentiality and it's going to most likely be me (even tho she's willing to work outside and be as flexible as I am)

My anxiety is having a field day with this. Not only am I breaking routine and driving somewhere new (ish), I'm not even guaranteed a dedicated space to work! Also, because it's two schools combined into one rn it's going to be loud and I'm probably going to get distracted! But guess what I have at home?! A dedicated work space!!! And quiet!!!! Also a private bathroom!!!!!! AND I'M NOT PACKED IN WITH STRANGERS LIKE A SARDINE AT THE TAIL END OF A PANORAMA

I'm not the only one who feels this way, but admin is set on the decision so here we are
