GIGS as phasmo ghosts

This is no original idea, but which ghost best fits the GIGS phasmo crew?

Grian

Demon. They can hunt whenever they want, regardless of external factors like sanity. Grian can and will bring potentially lethal chaos to any and all situations. (Also, pls consider Grimon) Alternative picks

Moroi, for their sanity draining abilities

Revenant, because they’re most deadly when they see you. Almost like they’re always watching

Honorble mention: Grioni, deogrian

Impulse

Not sure, first pick Phantom. He does the camera a lot, and he can’t be in the photo if he’s the one taking it. Also Phantompulse S8 our beloved Alternative picks

Spirit, purely for the irony of it. Ain’t no way this boy is the generic default ghoul. But consider Impulse’s love of smudge sticks, and a spirit’s intolerance.

Demon because Imp

Banshee, Skiz is the target. ImpulseSV ImpulseBanshee

Deogen, I just think he’d like it. Deos are fun, and he does sometimes meme people with a voice changer. (Deo spirit box)

Yokai on account of how many times he just straight up doesn’t hear Gem

Oni, since no one else knows what the deal is with the hiss. Onimpulse

Gem

Myling. They’re quiet, a bit sneaky, and deadly. You don’t know how screwed you are until you’re already facing Geminislay. Alternative picks

Yokai, because she WILL kill you if you don’t shut up

Shade, the very shy ghost, for when Gem stays in the van and doesn’t go see the other ghoulies.

Revenant. Slow, deliberate steps in time with Gem’s as she strolls through her calm cottage core village. But then she sees you and BOOM ya dead.

Hantu. Canada. Cold.

Honorable mention: GeminiThaye, Jinninitay, GemOnitay

Goodtimeswithscar (Scar)

Wraith. Consider a flying ghost wheelchair. That’s why he doesn’t step in salt. There’s also similarities in the wraiths teleportation ability and being Hot Guy’d. Alternative picks

Poltergeist. They’re known for throwing things around and general chaos. The item explosions happen when he hits things with his wheelchair. Poltergoodtimeswithscar

Banshee, because of the iconic *scared whimpering Scar noises* when running away from things

Mimic, their shifty and confounding tendencies cleanly mirror Scar’s sales tactics.

Honorable mentions: The goodTwinswithscar

Skizzelman:

Poltergeist. YEET. Just overall chaos, mostly just has polty vibes. Alternative picks

The Twins. Sometimes he’s quick sometimes he’s not. It’s anyone’s guess, and he certainly isn’t thinking about it.

Mare. In the absence of light, there is no color. Especially after guess the build, we’re all starting to think Skizz is color blind. SkizzelMare

Banshee, Impulse is the target.

Please let me know if you have any more ideas!

I swear I saw somewhere on here someone talking about how much hermitcraft has grown and changed and the growth of Mumbo and the before/after of grian joining the server but I can't find it so I'll do it for myself.

Basically during the before Grian hermitcraft (keep in mind I only started watching in s7 because YouTube recommended the last episode of Grian's season 6 so this may be wrong) but during this time (s5 and before) hermitcraft was moreso a server full of different people doing their own thing away from everyone else and only a few collabs and server wide events were more rare. The hermits felt more like coworkers than friends.

After Grian joined hermitcraft started to change, more server wide events, the hermits start hanging out with eachother more, someone is always in the background of another's video. Part of this is also the change in style, Hermitcraft was trying something different with how they divided up the map and were making eachother live closer during s6. If you watch evo from grian's perspective you can see how he's very isolatey, same with Mumbo before grian joined hermitcraft.

Mumbo is my best example for this change. Before Grian joined Mumbo was more isolated and focused on doing things alone mainly (from what I know) and stayed more in his base. After Grian joined Mumbo very slowly started getting more out there in terms of how he interacted with the others. During s6 he mainly interacted with Grian and later in the season Iskall, barely coming around more for the war. During s7 he stays around Grian and Iskall, not really coming towards the whole server until Mumbo for Mayor. During s8 he has all of Boatem and interacts with Scar and Grian and Gem (a little bit) and he's a bit more out there. I won't count s9 since he was barely in it. But during the life series he definitely picked bigger groups than he's normally shown in. And now in s10 we have him talking a lot with Iskall and occasionally Ren and actually getting into the whole server wide events stuff.

Of course this could be attributed to any hermit but Mumbo's is the most obvious (as far as I'm aware) because he was more isolatey than most hermits even before Grian came around.

I found This is About a Stuffed Bird bc of you and its one of my favorite fics ever. Do you by chance have more suggestions?

hermitcraft/mcyt fic recs? :0 let's go!!

i get a lot of my fic recs from other friends since i don't really go out and search on my own all too much for this fandom. but there are lots of great works out here! i will be listing out some of my favorites :3 mostly hc but a couple general mcyt ones that i think are an excellent read no matter what. all of the fics i'm listing will be genfic without ships!

also i just realized a lot of my bookmarks are grian-centric which is funny i guess because i am admittedly quite picky about content of my other favorites and grian just tends to have the most content in the fanbase. hope that'll be alright

(i hope some of my friends and mutuals don't mind me tagging them for their works)

hermitcraft longfics:

the last days of the free angel of carrows by @theminecraftbee - loved stuffed bird? here's another great longfic by second! this one is about joe and cleo in an urban fantasy mystery setting. again, second writes our beloved hermits into an captivating au!

leaping and hopping on a moonshadow by @lunarblazes - a fantasy au by luna my beloved! pearl suddenly gains magical powers and goes on a quest to find her long-lost friend grian who might know what's happening to her. she meets a lot of familiar faces along the way!

Recall by @redwinterroses - hey, i was the artist for this one! :D mumbo goes missing, so grian and scar search for him. they find that grumbot has been up to some... things along the way. the fic isn't finished but i think the chapters red put out is worth a read if you don't mind leaving off on a cliffhanger because it really is super interesting

dramaturgy by wormcity - a universe where gem and pearl join in a season 7 that was never finished. mumbo became the mayor, but the turf war went so very wrong afterwards. admittedly i have not finished reading this yet because ummm short on time xD but it's super interesting with a lot of layers of drama(turgy hahaha)!

hermitcraft short fics/oneshots:

for trying. by @autistic-evil-xisuma - a stuffed bird universe oneshot of x and xisuma during their lab days. great if you want to be sad over the doomed brothers again :D

the wheels on the bus by sparxwrites - a hilarious post-s8 oneshot about grian being a little shit towards the watchers. one of the first fics i've read from this fandom and i still love it

a body is an object by ruffboi - grian is a mimic, and pearl's arrival in s8 shakes him up. she hasn't seen him in a while and is quite upset to learn that the grian she knew died a long time ago. a great read for familial connections and conflict of friendships!

Goatman and the Rift by TheDepressedCanary - doc's eldritch powers start acting up when the rift appears. what shenanigans will ensue?

other mcyt fics/crossovers:

late at night, when the stars don't look quite right by @lunarblazes - an excellent empires s1 and hermitcraft crossover longfic, where grian lands into the server and is discovered by pearl! very great worldbuilding and relationships, i especially love the dynamic between gri and pearl and pearl and gem :D

every new discovery is just a reminder by amaranthinecanicular - grian begins pulling alternate versions of the hermits from the life series into the server. he does save a lot of them, but at what cost? it does end on a cliffhanger but this is genuinely one of the most captivating oneshots i've ever read... argghhh

The Fair and the Brave and the Good by @slashmagpie - an afterlife smp longfic centered around the shelby, scott, and sausage. i have never watched afterlife smp before in my LIFE and this is still one of my favorite pieces of literature ever. the characters and worldbuilding is impeccable and perfect if you like something dark with themes of hope and renewal.

Two Can Keep a Secret (If One of Them is Red) by anonymous secretmcblog - a 3L oneshot! ren suspects grian has stockholm syndrome with his pact to stay with scar, but his expectations are wrong. a truly excellent read and one of them first fics i've read! i still go back to reread it from time to time

dog at the door by fluffy_papaya & iamsolarflare - a longfic where doc and ren take a trip on a van on their way to s8. ren, however, is not quite himself, and doc has to learn to befriend the red king.

devil town is colder in the summertime by @bananasofthorns - a oneshot from a 100hsmp/life series d&d au! team BEST ventures into a cursed evil fucked up forest. uh oh.

Interview with the Aftermath by @ranchersrevenge (wanderlasts) - the last life contestants are invited for an interview. the responses vary greatly.

stars, smoke, and stolen car keys by wormcity - a 100hsmp modern au oneshot where grian, scar, and joel go on a hike. it doesn't go quite as they expected.

the beehive state by amaranthinecanicular - a dsmp oneshot after wilbur moves to utah. tommy visits him, and the two reconnect. i have to say i stopped following dsmp a long time ago but this fic made me BAWL. i don't even think you need to know any of the characters that well to really enjoy just how amazing the writing itself is

Can't Go Back (This Time) by @duckmumbo (musicaltvbooks) - soup group goes end raiding and accientally finds themselves in afterlife smp. nothing goes wrong, surely! also admittedly i havent finished reading this either but roy i swear i will. this is a great read nevertheless and the soup group dynamic is impeccable!

TommyInnit's unbeatable method of avoiding sudden death by eneliii - on the train of dsmp fics, this is the superhero au longfic that inspired my own hc superhero au, vdhau. it's a lot of funny shenanigans with tommy and his friends. the fic does take a dark turn at the end, but that can be skipped entirely (as said by eneli herself) if you just want the wholesome aspects.

if you don't mind a little self promo, here are some of my fics!

it takes two to play (the game of mutual secrecy) - the aforementioned hermitcraft hero au. this installment is centered around xisuma and evil x as brothers resolving their issues through hero work and solving the mystery of welsknight's disappearance :D there are other works that are set in the same universe if you're interested for more!

how to form the ultimate besties dynamic: an unreliable tutorial by hypnotizd - a oneshot! hypno is a warlock who goes treasure hunting under the sea. he meets a guardian who later becomes his unlikely friend.

smoke and mirrors, the hunt perseveres - grian's arrival in empires s2 unwittingly brings the watchers' suspicions with him. cue jimmy freaking out and a lot of shenanigans.

ballad of etho’s lab - my newest installment! a oneshot about etho's storied life as the redstone god.

i'm also currently working on the sequel to the game of mutual secrecy and a new (well not exactly new since i made concept art for it) au called private detective gem tasey! these will likely be released sometime late january or february. have fun with these fic recs! i haven't been reading as much lately but i hope ill be able to find more if anyone else asks in the future. cheers!

edit: the fics are out! here they are!

hiding in plain sight (the meaning of trust) - sequel to the hermitcraft hero au! it follows an escaped lab rat trying to acquaint themselves with human society while avoiding suspicion and making friends with familiar faces from tgms ;D

private detective gem tasey: a rotten mystery in london - a hermitcraft detective au where gem gets hired for a case that spirals completely into drama and politics!

[solargeist]

I may have just tried to find as much evoau and xelqua content as I could find. All very lovely, took me a few hours to get through. I wanted to ask, in your au what caused the moon to fall? I think in canon there isn't really an explanation so wanted to know if the watchers caused it when they found Grian or if it just fell because. (Your au is so cool!!! Thank you for all the lovely art and stories my brain has been fed wonderfully)

oh man oh man, thank u ! Glad ur enjoying it ^_^ 🫶

Uhmmmm that’s actually something I ask myself a bit !!!! I’m not exactly sure what’s the best way to go abt the moon, I think (adult, regular) Xelqua doing it would make the most sense…

He possesses Grian after taunting him through the void/Boatem hole for awhile, making him distressed and a little bit crazy. Xelqua breaks the server code, and then pulls the moon, perhaps ? That’d get the attention of the Watchers, such chaos. (Plus the imagery mimics Majora and Ocarina, I like that.)

Back when that Moon episode first went up, I remember a lot of non-hermitcraft fans watching it like wtf is happening in hermitcraft ?? I imagine the Watchers are like that Lol.

Usuallyyyy Xelqua would help a distressed Grian out, but it doesn’t take much for him to figure out this is the one that started everything. Xelqua can see his player code and see he’s a Watcher, and can figure out the rest by context clues, so he’s just gotta mess with him. He’s still a Watcher after all, that divine sense of justice… But he does also rationalize that he IS helping Grian, these players don’t even know what he is ! Mumbo and Pearl confront Xelqua the most I think, both knowing exactly what Watchers are.

This does lead to the Watchers finding out where Grian is, and I don’t know all the details but Xelqua does fight with them and the Hermits. Aether and Flora end up there as well, since Grian was their responsibility, it’s only fair they’re alerted and asked what they want to do with him. If it were only Flora, she would’ve taken his eyes, other Watchers agree, it’s a pretty common thing to do to Listeners, but Aether gets final calls with Grian and she’s not gonna do that 😭

Otherrr stuff…. They (hermits or watchers or both) get Xelqua expelled from Grian (I have no details here), and then he escapes through the Boatem hole, a few Watchers probably go after him but it’s rly not a good idea. I think Grian and Aether get to talk. The moon is still going to fall and destroy their server, they still have to leave, Grian still has to have some sort of consequences for what happened, and he’s still exiled. They talk for a long time, Grian drags it on, almost afraid to go back and explain himself to the Hermits, he can see it clearly in his head, they’ll want to exile him too, then he really won’t have anywhere to go-

The Hermits do not exile him, he was just panicking a little bit. He’s genuinely surprised when they include him in their server escape plan. The rest goes how it goes. Tho Grian has to explain himself to them later.

The Hermits are however also banned and exiled from Watcher domaines by extension.

Xelqua follows them to s9, staying undercover for awhile just watching, they really are interesting to him. He scares the shit out of Grian when he finally decides to show himself, but ! No possession this time ! Promise !

I don’t know if any of that is lame or disappointing or not, I haven’t seen s8 in a long time and it’s something I’d like to rewatch and check other POVs, so this is just what I imagine right now, it’s probably the most difficult part of the AU for me AUGH

[hmshermitcraft]

(Poly Boatem, for the theme!)

Mumbo is a humble potato farmer. Grian is a harpy who lives in a nearby cave. Scar is a traveling salesman who didn’t plan to stay as long as he has. Impulse runs a sweet shop which may or may not be magical. Pearl—IDK what Pearl does I haven’t watched her S8 yet.

By chance, all five of them had settled near the same definitely-not-dangerous hole to the Void. But they weren’t all dating at first: Grian, Scar, and Mumbo were a polycule, while Impulse and Pearl started dating shortly after she arrived.

Introduction were had, friends were made. Since they hung out so much, it seemed only natural the five would form closer relationships—and eventually a bigger polycule.

Oh, and also a company. They did that too.

Boatem Inc. may be a series of market stalls for now, but one day Mumbo, Scar, Grian, Pearl and Impulse want to open up a real shop! Mumbo still doesn’t know how he got picked as the CEO—he was busy harvesting when they decided that!

-💫🌠Anon

They have a ways to go first. Impulse needs to come up with a chocolate formula that isn't poisonous, Grian needs to stop threatening people at the market into buying from them, Scar needs to stop reselling things from other people's stalls!

But they believe in each other. They're going to make it happen!

[senshisdaughter]

Seeing that we started season 10 with a demise rerun and are getting a lot of references to older seasons, here a small list of thing I would love to see again this season:

1- Hermit base swap

That was so fun on s7 and id love to see it again, especially with the smaller scale hermits want to take their bases this time the swap changes would be even more noticable.

2- Server wide civil war:

Of course asking for ALL hermits to participate would not be realistic, especially taking acount of some lore-phobic tendencies some of them have (like zed, that simply ignored the whole moon thing on s8) but a big prank war like in s6 would be a lot of fun!

3- More apparances of hermits alter egos

I quite like how some hermits have fun alter egos like EX, Worm Man, Helsknight, Poultry Man, Ariana Griande and others and i would love to see more of them! Maybe even some new ones????

4- HERMITCHALLANGES!!

Loved them in s7 and nos with even more hermits and them all being so close together those would be even more fun.

5- Grumbot

Please bring my little terryfing boy back. We love him and Mumbo loves him, grian too tho hes a bit scared after Gb prime. But he deserves to live againg.

I am really enjoying this season and these things would be very fun to see. If you have anything else you would like to see please tell me in the tags!! Im very curious about what people teally liked from past seasons, especially people that have watched from longer then me (i started in s6)

(Also i think it can be seen what season has been my favorite lol)

[legally-allowed-to-slime]

Hi, so I started watching Gem's Wild Life POV after reading some of your Gempearl posts and I got curious of what was happening on the other neighbourhood (as a Martyn and Grian main watcher) and can I just say that I'm now just so intrigued/enamored about their whole dynamic.

Like, now I see how much Pearl stumbles upon her words when she's in a conversation with Gem in comparison to when she talks with anyone else and I'm left thinking- why does that happen. How is she such a (for lack of better words) sad wet puppy when she is with Gem? Is that like just their regular thing?

And Gem, despite the things about hating Pearl and stuff, is both at the same time more demanding and softer with Pearl than she is with other players? Or at least that’s the feeling I got. It’s like she wants to forgive Pearl but she also loves having Pearl's attention on her more than anyone else's, I think that if Pearl stops following her around she will explode and then pretend she doesn’t care.

They are really interesting and I'm now wondering if they’ve just like- always been that way. Are they like that on Hermitcraft too or it’s just something for the life series? Are they that weird about each other on Hermitcraft too or like- what's their deal. I love them now and need more knowledge

the great thing about them is that, like a lot of other traffic duos, the ccs are good friends, so when you translate this real friendship into a angsty roleplay series, you end up with some interesting results.

so, yeah. cc!gem and cc!pearl have been friends for like 8 years, they’re around the same age, they joined hermitcraft at the same time, just a bunch of coincidences that easily explains their dynamic. so when you see them “flirting” on wild life it’s the way straight girls flirt with their besties (i know gem isn’t straight, it’s just an analogy).

if you ask are they like that on hermitcraft too? yes. they consistently have wholesome and hilarious interactions, dating back to s8 with “if i asked you to catch me if i fall, you have to do it when i fall!” “i could just pick you up a day later :)” moment. i can’t really explain their dynamic they just happen to bounce off each other well.

yes, pearl’s always been Like That with gem. i don’t know that much about gem but i’ve been lurking in pearl’s streams for a year now and she is really wet cat when talking to and about gem. i think it might just be an actual respect that she holds for gem and doesn’t want to like, make gem get the wrong impression of her by answering weirdly, and also because she’s constantly sleep-deprived. as a rule, pearl usually stumbles over her words a lot, regardless of who she’s speaking to (on account of the no-sleep thing), it’s because gem tends to tease more which is the sort of stimulus that results in pearl stuttering. so it’s not necessarily gem-exclusive - pearl makes a lot of gaffes, my favourite’s got to be “they’re not gonna burn down my dog with my house in it!” in DL.

go ahead and watch some shiny duo compilations on youtube. outside of the toxic yuri in WL they’re genuinely an entertaining duo and there’s a reason they’re so popular

[ruffboijuliaburnsides]

So you like the hermity minecrafts content yeah?

Any suggestions where to start with all that? Because that is a cultural phenomena that just passed right by me. I know it exists, theoretically, and that's it.

Listen, it almost passed right by me, too, except that 2 years ago (almost to date) a friend posted about wild shit going down in the s8 finale and that intrigued me, lonely while my wife was out of town spending xmas with her family, enough to check it out.

SO. As a relative newbie, my best suggestion is honestly what got me into it.

Grian's Season 8 playlist.

Technically speaking I watched Pearlescentmoon's season 8 first, discovered Grian via her videos, since they based near each other, discovered a series Grian started called 3rd Life around the same time, binged both, and was eternally hooked. But you can shortcut to Grian directly if you want.

I do recommend season 8 to start, because while it was a bit unique as far as hermitcraft seasons go, it was also extremely short, which means it's a good starting place for getting to know the server and the hermits and figuring out who you most enjoy. Plus season 8 was the first one they had proximity voice chat in-game, rather than having to coordinate into a discord call if they wanted to speak, and that impacted the interactions between the hermits in a huge (and positive) way.

Really anyone from s8 is a good choice. Pick one, start watching, see who they interact with that interest you, go watch them, rinse repeat ad nauseam.

The nice thing is that starting in s8 (or any season) does not hinder you in any way. You do not need to watch every season. I would wager a lot of folks haven't watched the earliest seasons. Each season is just "fresh start on a new minecraft seed", and what continuity there is generally is explained, because they know they pick up new viewers all the time.

If you've got any more specific questions, feel free to ask, I'll answer to the best of my ability! :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One day while you were building, you got a DM from Xisuma the admin of the hermitcraft server. You had checked your communicater and checked Xisuma's DM, it said: Greetings U/N! I've seen your builds and might I say they're wonderful! Would you be interested in joining Hermitcraft S8?

You were really excited and immediately replied to Xisuma.

I would love to join hermitcraft!

He responded immediately

Wonderful! The IP is: [ insert hermitcraft IP or a random IP ] you can join whenever you like. :)

You replied with a thank you and said you would join it already. You got your teleporter and inserted the IP, you then pressed ' Join server '.

After server hopping for a minute you landed in the Hermitcraft server, you looked around in awe at the beautiful builds. A few seconds later you noticed a blob of green and gray coming towards you, it landed and you recognized who it was. It was Xisuma, You were literally screaming internally while keeping a straight face.

" Hello U/N! Welcome to Hermitcraft season 8! If you couldn't tell I'm Xisuma, the one who invited you here. " Xisuma had said to you while holding his hand out, you shook his hand and said

" Hello Xisuma! Thank you for inviting me to the server! It's an honor to be invited to server with talented people. " You smiled at him he told you it was no problem and said to follow him so he could give you a tour around, you accepted and followed him. He introduced you to the hermits and they were all excited to meet you.

Etho was definitely the most excited one out of all of them, he had seen your builds before and was very interested in meeting you. He was the last one introduced to you, when Etho saw you were like an angel sent from heaven. When you introduced yourself and mentioned you were FTM transgender, he was very supportive just like the other hermits. Xisuma had left you since you mentioned that you wanted to talk to Etho more, you did have a bit of a small crush on Etho before joining the server.

You talked with him for a while, you had an interesting conversation. You two realized you had a lot of common interests. You had mentioned that you should probably go getting materials to start a base, Etho offered to help but you kept on saying no need. He kept on insisting and you gave up and let him join you. You guys continued to talk to each other while gathering materials, the more Etho talked with you the more he would fall for you. You were just so infatuating and you had an amazing personality, Etho could name a lot of things that he liked about you.

Once you finished getting everything you needed you noticed it was already night and you knew you wouldn't be able to build so much when there is a lot of mobs, Etho insisted on you staying with him for the night, you decided to accept this time.

A few weeks in hermitcraft you really got to know the hermits more! you even spent more time with Etho. You loved making so many builds with Grian, you also decided to do multiple pranks on the server. Grian and you became best friends, even Scar and Mumbo became your best friends too! Mumbo would usually teach you how to build some redstone contraptions, Scar would take you on fun outings.

One day, You were just in the middle of building when all of a sudden you feel that weird feeling that you're being watched. You looked around but saw nothing so you just shook it off. What you didn't know was that there was a certain white-haired ninja watching you.

The past few days you started to get creepy love letters and gifts, they would appear anywhere near you like when you were mining you had spotted a [Favorite Color] Teddy bear holding a heart and a note, you looked at the note and it had said: " To: My Beloved U/N, From: your admirer. :)". You were really creeped out by this, the next few weeks the love letters became more creepier and it had included some pictures of you doing things. You decided to go to Etho and tell him about what was happening, you had asked him if you could stay with him and he was overjoyed when you said that.

" Hey Etho? Could I possibly stay with you for a while?" You asked him after telling him what happened

" Of course U/N!" Etho's eyes sparkled with excitement, I mean his own crush who he has been stalking asked him to stay with him! In the same house!

" Thanks! I forgot to mention that you can just call me [Name] instead." You had said to him

" O-oh alright!" Etho knew already about your name he was just surprised that you decided to tell him. He accompanied you back to your house to get your stuff, what you didn't know was that Etho was just staring at you with a lovesick expression. Once you had collected all of the necessary, you two went back to Etho's house. You guys were talking the whole way there, Etho just became even more in love with you. Your laugh and your smile, the sparkle in your eyes when you were excited he just adored those things about you a lot.

Once you two arrived to his house, you and etho placed down your stuff. Etho then asked you if you wanted some food and you accepted, you were really hungry so you decided why not. Once Etho finished making food, you two started eating. After eating for a while you drank what seemed to be normal water, you started to get light-headed. The last thing you saw was Etho staring at you with a lovesick expression and you passed out.

When you woke up, you looked around and noticed you were tied up in a chair. You did notice too the pictures of you on the wall and things you lost, you saw a bed so you thought that you were in a bedroom. you heard the door open, you looked to see Etho standing at the doorway without his mask on.

" oh you're awake love." Etho had said to you while smiling, you tried to get out of the ropes you were tied in

" Why are you keeping me like this Etho?!" You had yelled at him while struggling to get out of the ropes, Etho shook his head and started walking near you. When he was infront of you, he lifted up your chin

" I'm doing this to keep you safe [Name]" He said

" Safe from what?! The mobs?! I can defend myself Etho!" You retorted at him, he frowned at that

" You'll understand soon sweetheart" He replied while leaning towards you, you tried to back away but you couldn't. He started to kiss you and you kept on trying to push him back, you successfully pushed him slightly away with your legs. He sighed and shook his head

" You'll love me soon [Name], after all I did so much things all for you..." He then went out the door and you could hear him locking the door

You were stuck. There was no escape, you had to be with him forever..

I apologize if this is not what you wanted! I can rewrite this if it's not what you wanted anon! <3

I also apologize if my grammar is kinda bad -

[peskyvinot]

sometimes I think about how random and thus insanely cool our fav duo/trios formed. like

scar/grian/mumbo. you can't even really pinpoint the moment they became The trio. the mumscarian agenda. mumbo just picked up that random fresh-out-of-problematic-highschool-series creatieve mode Player out of NOWHERE and became besties with him, later seeing him join hermitcraft and change the server forever

scar and grian had almost no interactions up to the build off in s6. then the magic of s7 happened. newfound besties.

then s8 happened and well. found family doesn't spare Anyone. and it's like- sure scar and grian got closer in s9 when mumbo wasn't that active but then the reunion happened (that one mumbo video. OHHH that one mumbo video) where you don't even QUESTION that yes. they are THE trio of best buds

but then we dig deeper. rendoc???? (btw yes um using ship names as a placeholder) been on the same server for YEARS had some chemistry chemistry s5 and that one hippie/area77 storyline but then almost out of nowhere BOOM the most iconic duo of s8 and onwards. like. I'm not stupid it's all in the behind the scenes and becoming friends that lead to such iconic videos BUT LIKE.

can I talk about ethubs. I'll admit I didn't watch mindcrack in full I have no idea what went down there but every time I Watch early mindcrack/ooge/etc clips I'm like "OK this shouldn't have worked. but why it do. WHY IT DO"

xb and keralis. if they were separate content creators that never interacted you would never in a billion years guess they would click. but knowing what we do in that universe of ours, I will argue they're one of the most iconic duos.

impulse gem and pearl. the soup group. once again the s9 magic happened. it was an rng roll that put those 3 together in the first episode. and it worked SO WELL and I STILL can't really put into words why

giggs. I don't think anyone would ever argue with me abiut how iconic they are. but thinking about how I remember the first ever gigs streams before they even adopted the fandom "gigs" name. I kid you not grian&scar interacted with skizz like thrice before that. and yet they clicked INSTANTLY. I think it's the power of getting to know "new" people (I would argue even grimpulse didn't Know each other that well before phasmo. I know. the 4 pre-s9 gripulse enjoyers put down your forks) with your besties by your side. imp&skizz and desert duo get bonded over the horror game yeah tell THAT to a pre gigs fan. and YET. (also the way gem is so awesome she fit RIGHT IN. ANF I WOYLD ARGUE BY PURE CHANCE TOO. she was one of those "teaching _how to play phasmo" one off guests. but she was so awesome she stayed)

jimmy and tango. it is truly a mystery to me specifically. the only thing I woyld say was the string connecting them before dl was the silliness meter. period. but then again 2 different worlds that collided so hard the universe exploded. if the plate up streams have a say in this

boat boys. when the first dl episodes came out I didn't even Regester their duo (maybe it was because I didn't really watxh etho and deffenetely haven't watched joel before that). now tell me why their soulmate pair is THE most iconic duo for me in dl huh. and how smoothly it went on. etho and Joel. THINK ABOUT BOAT BOYS PRE DL. YEAH? YEAH. NEVER IN A BILLION YEARS WOULD I THINK. double life literally changed this fandom forever

honorable mentions: cleo and scar (+ bdubs) I can't recall a Single interaction of them pre s9 and pre limited life clockers. but BOY am I glad we have them now.

skizz and tango specifically in the whole zits polucule (/j). those 2 in particular are the funniest duo to ever duo. and s10 stapled and glued and sawn this into truition. also once again shout out to the plate up streams

P.E.T CREW??? I swear I remember the season 10 start and them basing together and starting the mail service like it was YESTERDAY. the decked out royalty my beloved. I love you. I love you.

scar and bdubs. the vibes are immaculate. can't for the life of my imagaine beau-era bdubs and scar from-this-point-in-timeline in the same voice call. their s9 & s10 thou is smth akin to magic

like ik in the bigger picture is not surprising. buy I still. I still like to think about it

Hi!! Just wanted to start with I really admire you and the art you create. I was curious what povs for S10 you're watching? And if you might be making any fanart for the new season :0? No pressure! Just curiosity!

My main POV is probably going to be Iskall85, but I'm taking care to watch as many people's first episodes as possible!

I appreciate Grian, Scar, Tango, and the other big builders/project creators a lot for what they do, but lately I've been getting really burnt out on watching them. Hermits who have a more laid-back approach are now my main go-to.

Besides Iskall, I'm probably gonna keep up with False, Beef, Etho, Cub, Stress, and Keralis. I highly recommend you guys go and watch those POV's and also support Hermits that aren't as well-known. They all deserve the support!

For fanart, I haven't drawn any since the beginning of S8. A lot has happened, and I don't think I'm ready to draw any for Hermitcraft for both mental and physical health reasons. Maybe in the future I'll try again, but right now I can't say much. I hope that's alright.

This may be the most awkwardly worded thing I have ever written but I don't know how to fix it, so i am very sorry in advance.

However, I am in need of a new obsession.

And I love minecraft.

I have also seen you post hermitcraft stuff. I was aware hermitcraft was to do with minecraft, so i googled it (i sound so old lol)

There is a LOT of stuff, and nothing i can easily find that explains it easily, but it looks awesome.

and so, this is a long winded way of saying: please can you tell me how to start watching hermitcraft stuff? like, is a good place to start at the very start or somewhere more recent? and do i need to watch every perspective or can i choose just a couple of people to watch it from? obviously absolutely no pressure to answer though, especially in case the response is super long!

oh my god i love you

DO NOT START FROM S1. there are ten seasons, the tenth being ongoing, and theyre 50-100 episodes, usually 20-40 minutes long for each hermit. DONT DO IT.

i personally accidentally started watching grians s7, but he joined in s6

as far as im concerned, they add new members every two seasons [and im only caught up on 6-10];

s6: grian [wiki says there was a cameo from someone named duke da dog???]

s8: pearl and gem

s10: joel and skizz

i personally would recommend finding a hermit from SEASON TEN that catches your interest; if youre into redstone, try NOT mumbo jumbo actually because this season hes going more buildy- instead, try zedaph or docm77

cleo and bdubs are really entertaining and have kind of the same editing style, if that makes sense? like their videos have the same vibe to me except for the fact that bdubs is a STELLAR builder

my favorite trio is scar, grian and mumbo, and a little bit of gem this season too; they are THE shenaniganizers. them <3

impulse and skizz are super close, joel has some sort of yaoi harem going on while hes trying to love his wife, pearl etho and tango are The Mailpeople, joe is joe, and idk what the rest of them are doing

@angelonasher is much more well-versed than i am in the ways of the other hermits since i focus mainly on mumbo, scar and grian 👍

i wish you luck on your journey <3

I've quite literally never watched hermitcraft, or any of grians videos for that matter in my entire life but I came across a yandere grian x reader of yours (specifically the watcher grian one) and it was genuinely so good that I spent the last maybe 12 hours watching grians videos and trying to find out the lore, so thank you for that. I've never been so obsessed with a minecraft series before besides back when I was 10 and into aphmau.

I'm so sorry if this was long but I felt the need to thank you for convincing me, although unintentionally, to watch grians videos. I'm currently on the EVO smp series and I'm trying to figure out what to watch next after that. I watched a bunch of videos yesterday last night, and today the first thing I did when I woke up was turn on EVO smp.

Honestly, once I get more into the grian lore I might actually end up requesting a yandere grian x reader because your writing is just THAT good. Again, sorry this was so long, I just wanted to say thank you and keep up the good work!

(I might've gone over board with this I'm so sorry.)

Anon, firstly I'd like to thank you for leaving this in my inbox. It's really brightened my evening and I appreciate it so much. It's not often I get messages complimenting my work at all, let alone someone taking the time to write as much as you have (thank you again anon), so don't feel bad about going overboard (there's no such thing :D)

I'm glad you enjoyed my fic and I'm glad you're enjoying what you're watching. I'm glad, though unintentionally, I was able to convince you to give Grian's videos a go. If you find yourself looking for another yan!grian fic once you've explored more of the stories he's been a part of you're more than welcome to return to my inbox and request something.

As for where to go from EVO.. well we all know I love me some hermitcraft. I started watching Grian in Season 7 (I had watched most of Mumbo's POV for S6 and a little Scar, but stopped when S7 released so I could focus on S7). To this day S7 remains to be my favourite season (It's the lore. S7 had my favourite storyline thus far) so that could be a good place to start after EVO if you feel like it. S8 is also a good place to start with it being a shorter season. Ultimately it's up to you anon,

Anyway.. Thank you again for your kind words, I really appreciate you leaving them in my inbox. The reason I keep writing is to bring joy and inspire others, it always makes me happy to know that 'm doing that. Have a wonderful day anon!
