Welsknight Appreciation

Welsknight just posted a new video today (3/7/23) where he opens up and talks about his financial issues and asks for help. I am not in a position currently to help financially but I can make an appreciation post that will hopefully get circulated to those who can. Wel's patreon

Welsknight is one of the first hermits I started watching. Welsknight vs. Helsknight is a genuine bop and the concept of Helsmits sold me on Hermitcraft

This southern man can genuinely rap. Maybe you heard his verse in Hermitgang but have you heard Dark Roast? The official response to a fanmade response rap from a creeper's POV?

He doesn't upload from the hermitcraft server too often but when he does his videos are a genuine delight. He is soft spoken and usually builds in a medieval style.

Recently he returned to Season 9 after a break to play TCG so if you enjoy TCG content take a look at some of his recent videos! Did I mention his time-lapse music is a banger?

When he's not uploading Hermitcraft, he plays a variety of strategy and rogue-like games including Fire Emblem and Binding of Isaac.

Please please support Welsknight financially or with views! It would be terrible for someone to have to give up their passion job that brings so much happiness to others.

Three years...

Three years ago today, on the 17th of June, 2020...

Welsknight's Hermitcraft season 7, episode 7, Helsknight!

(On the 25th of March 2021,

a cameo in the song Dark Roast.)

Very nearly two years ago, on the 19th of June, 2021:

Hermitcraft season 8 episode 1, A Whole New World and a promise of more appearances...

On the 7th of September, 2021, his only other appearance that season,

Xisuma's episode 1021, A Trip To Hels Kitchen!

Just over a year after that, on the 20th of September, 2022...

Welsknight's Vault Hunters episode 18, Making a MINION!

This may be too few data points to generalise from, however, I would like to wildly guess that either very soon, or in September, we are due an annual Helsknight appearance of some kind!

Happy third birthday, Helsknight!

Not tagging anyone ^^

[megabuild]

cia agents were working closely with welsknight trying to engineer the worst bars known to man. they called it operation dark roast. they tried to get eminem on board but ten seconds into his first listen he tried to shoot himself

hermitcraft season 6 was actually a psyop attempt to subtly influence white teenagers into believing they can't rap but it backfired horribly

[galaxygermdraws]

I am going to be fed from this singular rap for the next month I swear to god.

[fightingtheplums]

“To hels with that I say, let’s double tag this fool”

Im sorry but Welsknight is too cool for this world an he can sing and rap im just-

[redwinterroses]

What the shit

What the actual shit, I thought that I'd be from a super cool book/movie

But no the quote is from a freaking rap battle

I never want this man to change

XD okay wait but you're aware that this is only one of THREE rap battles that Wels has been a part of, right?

There's the s6 war dis track "Hermitgang" (aka, my favorite current bop)

There's "Diabolical," which we just talked about

And then there's this creeper-POV dis track "HermitBang" from a guy called Café Stifflered, and then Wels and Ely teamed up to absolutely FLAME him in "Dark Roast" which is just EPIC and I love it so much.

Wels. Just... Just Wels, guys.

[harley-the-pancake]

The fun thing about the drop of Dark Roast is that immediately after it dropped, I messaged a group chat that’s dedicated to Mr. HBomb94 about it, most I don’t think regularly watch HC in the chat, but we all freaked out over new diss track

Anyways, Knuckleheadtwt is dedicated to HBomb and Hermitcraft diss tracks only

[aj-is-typing-18]

@galaxygerm103 Got the hels/wels brainrot train a chukin!

Possibly coming out as digital!

What's your least favorite minecraft fan song

I, like... in theory I know what this ask means but also not. I'm v tired and not in the mood to dig up spite so I'm just gonna give you my favourite songs even vaguely related to Minecraft

Hermitcraft:

Work by Jono

It encapsulates all my frustrations and I know it also encapsulates Grian's. It's a bop and also a delve into my psyche.

Hermit Gang by Team STAR

Team STAR won the Civil War, prove me wrong.

Dark Roast by Welsknight

Helsknight my beloved

The Playlist by Elybeatmaker

Elybeatmaker is the foundation of this community. He used to make songs about Mindcrack, this is his playlist of Hermitcraft songs. Love he

Favourite animatics speedrun named by their songs. Karma, Saint Bernard, Mind Electric, A sadness runs through him, and No Matter What

Hermitcraft has to manufacture their own angst, and boy do they do it well. Mind Electric is my current top favourite and is the reason I like that song so much

Dream SMP songs:

Turn Back Time, Ain't no crying, 4AM, Voices, and Syndicate all by Derivakat

The beats are banging and fit all my criteria for a good song. 1, can do a little shoulder boogie to it. 2, singability. 3, can do dishes to it. That's my criteria.

Ode to L'Manburg by Beetlebug

The emotion? The nostalgia it brings up? I can type out the lyrics by heart! It's just such a good song

Fight with Fire by Ian Has Opinions

Best to sing with passion. Try not to cry. Cry anyway. It's about Fundy's spy arc during the Manberg-Pogtopia war, and it just,,,, please listen to these songs

Please Don't Make Me Choose by Amanda Fagan

Songs made during the Manberg-Pogtopia war were just built different, honestly. Maybe it's because it's the only period in the smp's history I actually watched streams, who knows. Either way, wanna watch how hard I can cry?

Betray Somebody by oh no he's here

Technically a parody, but listen. It makes me laugh every time while also feeling the Forbidden Emotions. Also the animatic someone did of it is in my top five in the fandom.

Fave animatic in Dream smp, though not the question, is currently this one by Cowokie. It made me ~cry~

General Minecraft songs/parodies:

The Fallen Kingdom series by Captainsparklez

I debated not even linking this one because it's so popular, then I realized it's my post my rules, subscribe to Captainsparklez for clear skin.

New World by Skydoesminecraft

Not as well known as the previous one, but boy do I fucking love it. It gives me the happy chemicals for no discernible reason. Like, I wouldn't even say the lyrics are good, but I could sing it all off the top of my head.

Okay I'm just gonna rapid fire all my favourite Yogscast ones. Where's the Modding API, Welcome to Yoglabs, MoonQuest, Screw the Nether, Who's still playing

Love Yogscast, still watch them to this day. All these are bangers for different reasons, most recommend Yoglabs and Who's still playing. Yogscast is a group of channels so some of them are by different people, but I couldn't be bothered to pick all of them out, so have the main channel.

Yes this was long, but here is me gushing about Minecraft songs

(Also honourable mentions for the fav animatic categories, and are only down here because they're related. How Bad Can I be both in Hermitcraft and Dream SMP flavour)

[hiimbloblos]

I know that "Dark Roast" was not meant for me, but damn do I feel roasted 😳

Welsknight, sir, where did you learn to rap... I need it for uhh.. Scientific purposes....

[nullifi-blr]

HAVE YOU HEARD WELSKNIGHT'S DISS TRACK RESPONSE—

Not yet, but it seems interesting? I’m gonna go listen to the OG first then come on over to the Wels roast AFTER LISTENING (HermitBang): I like this! Bro, the lyrics, the tempo, the play on Hermitgang? I love it, wow.

AFTER LISTENING (Dark Roast): DAMN WELS. That little Hels verse?? Holy shit man. That was really good. Wow.

[sweetest-honeybee]

Thoughts on Dark Roast aka Welsknight's diss track response?

It was pretty good :) Not enough for me to listen to it again willingly but it wasn’t bad. Did love the little Hels cameo too :D

[turboputt03]

To add to this, there is another Welsknight remix from Himself and featuring Ely called “Dark Roast”. This was in response to a diss track made by Café Stifflered called “HermitBang (Creeper’s Revenge)” (again, ft. Ely). Both are down below and embedded. 

Fun fact! Did you know Hermits have done songs that are plot relevant to Hermitcraft?

Such was the case with Hermitgang. A Disstrack made by a team of Hermits to diss the opposing team during the civil war of season 6. Is pretty cool so would recommend listening to Hermitgang

And also Joe’s (a hermit in the opposing team) reply

And as for season 7, a Hermit, Welsknight, started his season later and that eventually gained him an evil clone (no I’m not kidding) and this evil clone, Helsknight, wanted to replace him so both knights battled. As in they rap battled and Wels won.

And that kids is how we got Diabolical which I also recommend checking out

We have yet to get a song this season but it will be defitnely be fun when that happens! And chances are it will be remixed by Elybeatmaker! He has been remixing content for the Hermits even back in the mindcrack days and he is super cool! His channel here!

And as extra shout out there is Jono! He has done music for Hermit videos comissioned by the Hermits themselves! Like Grian’s timelapse music, the Mumbo for Mayor song used for the campaign last season, and the Tokyo Drift parody/knock off/tribute Level up from season 8!

And you can often hear his work on Ren’s episodes as he helps compose the music for them since Ren is his older bro :D

And also a rock song comissioned by Docm77 for his episode

[ihavenoconsistentname]

It's fucking stupid how much I like Dark Roast but that's Welsknight hyperfixation brainrot for ya

[redwinterroses]

Welsknight's/elybeatmaker's 'Dark Roast' lives in my brain rent free and will not stop playing.
