Rensymmetry post mid-2023

aka. how Rensymmetry rose in prominence as a duo, especially a Ren duo, and Blue River Raceway

Ren and False have always been a duo, and everyone kind of knew about them from HC6 neighbours and MCC (9 Blue Bats). But I think 2023 subtly altered the status quo and pushed False way up to the top of Ren duos. It was made obvious and in-your-face in a way it wasn’t before. Like, she’s his top streamer. All five of his top Twitch emotes are hers, which is absolutely insane considering he’s a regular streamer with his own set of commissioned emotes.

I mention Ren duos specifically because Ren always has dominant duos (usually gay ships) and that kind of overshadows his friendship with a woman. I personally feel like a lot of the status quo re: Ren duos is stuck pre-2023, which I know is a weird statement considering core Rensymmetry events happened before 2023, eg. Blue9, but it still gets a bit overshadowed. It’s been changing and people are acknowledging Rensymmetry (because they are kind of obnoxious LMFAO 😭) but at the same time… for a duo that is so blatantly in your face with a consistent stream of insane crumbs, they’re not getting the attention one might expect.

On several occasions Ren has talked about how False helped him/ was there to support him during his irl issues, and we as the audience can see how they got closer when Ren returned from his hiatus in mid 2023. Ren’s first stream back (with facecam) was him grinding False’s elytra course. Mid 2023 was also when False got involved in BRR.

Re: BRR, it’s a Ren-Etho collab with False joining in with the building, but to me it was quite obvious it was Ren’s baby, and it meant a lot to him. It’s the spiritual successor to his Speedy Pines. It’s something he always wanted to make. It’s a very Ren project — half infrastructure, half racing — and he envisioned a server event (the Grand Prix). It’s quintessential Rendog. He threw himself almost completely into BRR when he returned.

False also spent a lot of time on BRR. Ren mentioned in his HC9 finale that he was very grateful for her and how she helped to make his vision come to life. And since it was such an important project to Ren, I think the kind of support (emotional and creative) that she provided really touched him and snowballed into the devotion + admiration you see now. Like, she became so important to him that he’ll just do anything for her.

You can start to see bits from mid 2023. There’s the TCG stream in which Ren offered to take the heat in case the fans didn’t like that the stream torch (TCG cards) would go to False and not Grian. Ren was being dramatic, but it was also his “anything for you Falsie 🫡” mentality coming into play.

BRR became their playground in which they constantly streamed from there (although not at the same time). While the Lifers were doing Secret Life, Ren was BRRing. While people were at Twitchcon, False was BRRing. Perimeter prank? False and Ren just released their BRR racing episodes. While Decked Out mania was in full swing, they were BRRing. Decked Out open day? BRR. (And False had to act as Ren’s messenger owl because he was away getting food— they were talking about BRR on their own.) Even when Tango did his DO redstone stream, they were BRRing. It’s second nature to them because they love minigames and competing against each other (eg. MCC, the minigame stream they did with Cub in summer 2023).

And then on it went until the Grand Prix which left such a strong impression on Ren that not only did he utter “I cannot think of a more worthy winner” (insane line), he also spent one year planning an irl trophy gift for False (also insane). He really appreciates her in a way that feels like it can’t be undone. They were good buddies before this, but I think it’s quite clear they’ve gotten closer.

Other insane bits include the “Hermitcraft isn’t Hermitcraft without my friend False close by” (which imo is one of the most insane things a hermit can say about another hermit) and Ren ending his last stream on HC9 by playing False’s elytra race. And he said without hesitation that she’s his favourite hermit and one of his best friends. Don’t worry, this is just the beginning, he gets worse.

I was going to flash forward to HC10 but then I remember False popped in on Ren’s Xmas stream on her phone while with family so there’s that. Like don’t you dare her call her toxic and mean when she checks in with Ren even when she’s busy. And Plateup with Cleo.

HC10. Demise 2. Murals. Hats. Armour stands. Multipass.💥💥💥

During Demise 2, I remember False interpreted a message from chat as that chatter thinking her and Ren were “not normal”, and she got vaguely defensive and mentioned something about how you know someone a bit better now and people think you’re not normal (this was after twaddle). Not gonna lie, Demise 2 era twaddle isn’t even that bad. Not when compared to post charity stream twaddle or big business river twaddle.

Anyways you can see they clearly appreciate and adore each other from the random snippets they include in episodes/ FalseLive / False’s featured clips/ whatever Ren’s going on about on stream. They’ve always been sweet but not like this lmfao. Ren in particular is going to explode. “A piece of the puzzle is missing” “MCC isn’t the same without you” okay. False is less obvious about it (because Ren is flying off the handle) but also likeeeee the featured clips… the Instagram comment… being in Ren’s chat… when Ren was singing and she said in chat how can you be so talented… <3

Their friendships is so sweet. And I think it’s cute how it manifests in the way they create on Hermitcraft. Like you really understand why Ren thinks Hermitcraft isn’t Hermitcraft without False. You really understand why False goes to Ren’s base when she needs a creative break from her own base.

Vote for MCC9 Blue Bats! Truly the beginning of a wonderful MCC (e-sports) based friendship, with (one-sided) old rivals H and Fruit teaming up to be mentors (they also coached Niki in MCC10!), and of course the MCC besties False and Ren. It was actually Ren who invited H to Vault Hunters after MCC9, and we all know how prominent H now is in the VH community. Fruit also ended up teaming with the hermits a bunch, leading Lime Liches Bdubs face and Grian-Fruit which dominated team wishlists for a good few months. And of course, H was the one who predicted False Supremacy and look at them now- winners of MCC29! Plus, they got back together for All Stars and they were exactly the same as before <3

They still reference the Blue Bats sometimes even now <3 To quote Ren: I still think fondly of the Blue Bats :D

the new harness is a success! its the blue9 balance harness (thank you @doomspaniels for the recommendation!) and it seems to be very high quality so far. it clips around her neck so i don’t have to pull anything over her head, and she seems so much more comfortable. she just fits into the medium/large size with it tightened all the way now, and if my estimation is correct, this size will continue to fit her until she is fully grown, making it well worth the extra money!

watching false and ren go insane on either of their streams almost consecutively for the past few days has been really fun. i think the charity stream fomo got to ren. and being away and not online.

they are just sooooo. you can tell they love hanging out to talk about nonsense. idk there's a natural fondness and... softness? even during their weirdest of conversations. ren makes it overt but false is more like, nonchalantly going along with whatever ren is doing and giggling at his jokes, saying she'll leave but never does (and brings up his weird stuff). it's a. gentle. kind of coexistence. enabling each other's jokes and silly behaviour. they bounce with each other almost too well and they start having conversations incomprehensible to twitch chat /affectionate.

most of ren's dynamics with others that the fandom latches onto are like, dramatic and flirty. inappropriate (cleo). homoerotic (doc, iskall). roleplaying devotional arc (martyn, bdubs). but this doesn't really appear here. falseren is like the wacky slice-of-life random little interactions. sure, they have their dramatic bits (blue9, demise), but most of the time, they're just being clingy and doing random shit and talking about random shit. the weirder and more fast paced, the better. laying distraction upon distraction until you forget what you're supposed to do. and i daresay that the lack of theatrics and flirting associated with ren's usual duos leads them to be less talked about.

today they sent an impromptu love letter to a horse. ren said who would give false her "daily lols" if she muted him and she was like i dunno. ren tried to hide under false's base but she found him immediately. he was running through her two doors as they chatted. she boarded up her windows to prevent him from coming in / block her view of him. i love their constant feedback loop. they always (always!) appear on each other's streams and chats. there's this assumption that the other is there in chat when something reminds them of then. referencing the batshit convos they had the other day. idk. always on each other's minds.
