Hermit-a-day #3! The Entity is a beautiful creature! Where is my baby, Grian?

[eloquentornot]

The original plan for the Entity was that it would grow to massive size, looming over the entire shopping district, but Grian didn't know how to make it look good.

…The plans of the eldritch creature were thwarted by the builder's sensibilities of the very one it had originally contracted to build its body in that world! O irony!

Speaking of potentially scary villains who seem to have calmed down in the time they've been slightly abandoned by Grian, when he asked Grumbot to send him to season 10… he politely opened a new portal in the Rift, and gave a fond farewell message of "BE GOOD". A lovely peaceful ending for Christmas, alongside a delightful retrospective of the season, a far cry from the tragedy of the previous world!

I look forward to seeing what comes next!

[shepscapades]

Surely this will have no negative consequences whatsoever!

getting a genuine family photo would be nigh impossible for the Mud Dogs

But they do have this (which Mickey has dubbed as blackmail)

The you have any headcanon about Perrine and The Croon?

Perrine has an affinity for skulls because of The Croon, and they’re mainly the reason why she likes to collect them

The Croon refers to her as “calf”

Perrine sometimes catches glimpses of a tall figure out of her window at night, standing among the distant trees, hidden by just enough shadow to make her wonder if she’s just seeing things

The Croon gifts her skulls, bones, and small dead animals

When people say The Croon is evil, she’s the first to jump to its defense

However, Perrine does have a healthy dose of fear for The Croon

She doesn’t know why this is

But there’s always a level of wariness she feels towards it

There was this one night…

It was cold. The wind was blowing. Branches brushing against the cottage were like clawing fingers on the walls, desperate to get inside.

Perrine woke up.

Or maybe she had never fallen asleep in the first place.

She couldn’t remember.

It didn’t matter.

She got up from her bed.

All around her, the moonlight bleeding in through her window pooled ghoulishly into the empty black eyes of her animal skulls.

It felt like they were all watching her.

At first, she had gotten up to get a glass of water. Her mouth was dry, and the space behind her eyes was uncomfortably warm. But at the same time, she was covered in goosebumps.

But then, she found herself drawn outside.

Grass crunched under bare feet.

She didn’t even flinch from the cold.

Like she was in some kind of trance, she found herself delving into the woods.

And then, she saw it.

The towering beast of feathers and bone. It stood among the trees, nearly obscured by darkness.

The Croon.

She was scared.

She wasn’t sure why she was scared. She based her whole image around this beast, after all. She wore the moose mask because of it.

And yet…she trembled.

And then, she spoke.

“What’s the point of you?”

She asked it without thinking. It was a question that had been brewing in her head for ages.

“I mean…you embody and represent chaos…”

The Croon tilted their head for a moment, as if considering the question. The quiet night air was tense.

“Chaos…is beautiful and destructive. It’s everywhere, and it’s all-consuming. It doesn’t need any apparent purpose. It merely is. It destroys and makes and changes…over and over again. That is what I represent. Change is necessary. Everything must die, and from the destruction, something new is born. After a wildfire, flowers will bloom from the ashes.”

“But people like the flowers. Not the fire.”

“Perhaps. But they need the fire. They need the chaos and the change. Even if it destroys them. There is no new life without death, and there is no death without chaos.”

“But, you still destroy things. Why can’t you have something new without destruction? Why change?”

“Destruction..is just part of the cycle. It’s a part of change. There is beauty in decay. Death and destruction can be…art. The changing of the seasons, the wilting of flowers, the withering fall leaves… Even the most positive change is destruction for something else. Destruction and chaos are required for rebirth, for evolution. Because of change, everything is different, and everything is unique. There are no two things that are exactly the same, down to the last detail.”

“My friend, Cole, lost their parents in a horrible way. Is that supposed to be beautiful? Or necessary?”

“…Perhaps not. Not all destruction is beautiful or necessary. But not all death is cruel or senseless either. After all…without death, would you appreciate life at all? When an animal dies, and it decomposes, the earth gains the nutrients it gives to grow new flowers and new grass. New life. Even a death as horrible and cruel as that can still give new life to the plants and earth around it. It is the same with humans. A death, even a cruel and horrible one, can lead to new life for the remaining family or loved ones…or to the end of a destructive, hurtful cycle.”

“Cole has suffered since their parents’ death. There was no hurtful cycle to break! It’s not fair!”

“Death isn’t fair.”

Its voice had dropped to a low, almost guttural growl that shook her to the bones. But its empty eye sockets still held an eerie sense of calm.

“Life…isn’t fair. People die. Families are torn apart, homes and villages are destroyed. It’s the nature of the world. It’s a necessary evil.”

“…I don’t want to be a necessary evil.”

Anyways has this been done yet

[time-is-restored]

anyone else thinking about how us crows canonically reacted to that diorama in the aquarium? like. imagine being q!phil, desparately trying to convince himself that none of this is happening and his dreams are just dreams... while all of the crows surrounding you are going NUTS

vocalising, ruffling their feathers, flapping their wings - immediately and viscerally reacting to all of the trappings of endlantis and the king.

im just. can you even imagine trying to process that. imagine ur kid wakes up and can't see any of the shit that's driving you + ur entire murder to hysterics, even when they're all Clearly reacting to... something in the aquarium. imagine phil trying to say he's fine and that he just needs air while the crows are fucking RIOTING.

we knew + were shouting abt the king and endlantis LONG before q!phil was able to acknowledge it. and the dissonance of that is just,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, OGH!

News of Dior’s Silmaril passed further than the sons of Feanor. Morgoth too heard, Morgoth too planned an attack. He prepared forces to storm Doriath. The kinslayers got there first. When orcs arrived at Menegroth, it was already deserted. Had it been otherwise there would have been no survivors.

"Happy anniversary!!"

"Wait, what?" Grian spluttered, falling from the shulker monster he was balancing on. "Ren, what are you talking about?!"

"It's been a year, dude! A year since we finally got out of that stinky Hermitheus, finally set foot on real life solid ground once more!"

Grian struggled to parse what Ren was trying to say for just a moment longer, and then it dawned.

"We've been on this season for a year now?!"

"That's right! I can't believe no-one else seems to have remembered the date, I was hoping there would be great celebrations, far and wide! But so far, everyone I've talked to today has been as surprised as you, dude! I'll catch you later, man, I feel like I've got to talk to everyone, now!"

Grian watched blankly as Ren rocketed away.

So. It had been a year. A year since he'd woken from the long dream of the void, with visions in his head, plans from a great beyond… Then that meant, it had probably already been more than a year since he'd first met it, but…

"It's been a year since I made the Entity." A year since he'd carved out that stone form, the perfect boulder, knowing and yet not knowing what it would grow into, what it could become…

Suddenly, feelings he'd forgotten and laid aside came flooding back, the deep waves of something, the blindingly hidden memories of what he had promised and been promised, and he realised once again that he needed to restock the Entity. Did it want another upgrade, too? Or was that feeling his own, his guilt for having forgotten about it, for having needed someone else to remind him of its…

With a gasp, he knew what to do. He dropped whatever random items he was carrying into the nearest box that was empty enough, and rapidly started planning. He'd left this far too late, and only had a few hours…

~~~~~~~

The sun was setting, and several hermits were gathering in the shopping district.

"So, what do you think this is all about?" Impulse asked Pearl. "Grian hasn't put on a big event like this for his shop here before…"

"Well, it's been a while since I've observed any strange activity from the Entity," she replied, and he noticed she was wearing her fancy suit. "It doesn't look like it's changed appearance again, at least not from what I can see…"

"Maybe he finally figured out how to get his son to send customers inside it?" Cub wondered.

"What? But Grumbot's not here… is he?" Impulse asked.

"No, no. I meant the shulker."

Before the crowds could speculate any further, Grian appeared in a flash of bright red and white fireworks!

"Ow," he said, taking a mental note not to fly so close to the dispensers next time. "Welcome, everyone! Now, as I'm sure some of you will be aware, it's now been a full year since we all arrived here in this world."

"Heck yeah!" Ren cheered. "You set up a party for us in one day?"

"That's right! But, this isn't just a party for our anniversary. On this day, one year ago, I created a vessel for a very special being, known only as the Entity…"

The crowd had started to murmur at Ren's outburst, but now fell silent, as Grian continued ominously.

"This Entity has grown, over the past twelve months. It has grown stronger, wiser, and if I do say so myself, cuter!"

xBCrafted, who was lying in a tree nearby with his bow prepared as usual, glanced upwards at the strange stone monstrosity, a variety of large items protruding from its surface, six mechanical legs holding it high above the ground, green vines growing from a hole with blood slowly dripping down but never seeming to reach the ground beneath, where many shulker boxes full of all sorts of useful things were currently piled even higher than usual. He and a few others hummed in suspicion, but said nothing.

"I cannot say for how long the Entity has truly existed, indeed, perhaps it haunted the void long before what we would consider the start of time itself… But, one year ago today, I gave it the body it asked for, I brought it into this world. So, today, I have more than restocked my shop, I have filled it to overflowing, and I invite you all to join me in celebrating the Entity's first birthday!"

He stepped backwards onto a pressure plate, and several more red and white fireworks went off, accompanied by slight applause from some of the audience. Grian frowned, then sighed.

"And, to celebrate its birthday, the Entity offers a special deal for this evening only, half price for everything, or, only one stack of diamonds for however much of anything you want, whichever would be cheaper!"

The crowd cheered, and Grian stepped aside as they all flooded in, the sounds of shulker boxes being opened and closed blending nicely with the sounds of the actual live shulkers in the small cave beneath.

Boxes were emptied, items were replaced with diamonds, and a warm breeze of contentment filled the air, pouring forth a sweet scent from the Entity's opening. Grian smiled, leaning against one of the Entity's legs. All was right with the world. All hermits would be loyal customers of the Entity. Entity would provide all. All would become Entity. Just as long as he kept remembering to restock…

I think the administration in ninjago is a manifestation of the vast. Giant office building with millions of workers who do basically nothing and drive themselves insane working there. Seems pretty vast coded to me.

On top of that, I think Jay lost his memory by being forced to work there and slowly losing himself in the boring corporate office job. I think that’s funnier and angstier than just oops he hit his head and works here now bc he doesn’t remember anything about his previous life.

Imagine him falling there and being forced to work for the administration “bc he trespassed” or something, and he tries to find a way to escape, or at the very least remember his friends, but just slowly loses his mind in the insignificance of his boring office job. That’d be pretty crazy.

Guys. Guys Ben Drowned's canon last name isn't actually Lawman

I've known this for a while, and more I think about it, the more it makes me feel like I should say something 😭

It was a misconception that started with an older version of Ben's page on the Jadusable Wiki. (It was never used for any non-ARG version of Ben prior to this.) I remember spotting Lawman being used as Ben's last name around 2016-2018 or so, and it has been edited out of his page since 2020. (It was on the page they have for the dead child rather than the Network/entity. I think it might've happened before they moved off Fandom wiki, because I think I remember seeing comments and their new wiki doesn't have those).

During the second arc (2011-2012), Jadusable mailed some bonus material to people who donated to him. One of these bonus materials was a section from a newspaper, which describes the murder-suicide of two members of the Lawman family along with their son, with some tampering to the article that appears to have been done by BEN.

You can zoom into the image and read it, or check out it's page on the wiki here (which I highly recommend as it has some added information, like what all the censored words are.) It's a very interesting piece of lore that's fun to analyze--however, I wouldn't recommend reading it if you're super squeamish or sensitive to graphic details related to death. (The method of the killing itself isn't mentioned.)

While this seems to be about Ben on the surface, it's actually not. The only way we can tell is by the date of the newspaper: In the column to the left of the "Spring Is In The Air!" paragraph, the year 2011 is mentioned, but we know that Ben died on 4/23/2004. The wording of the Lawman event feels recent (as if they're talking about an event a few months prior), when Ben's death would've been far gone by now.

With what's likely BEN tampering on the top right (where they creatively use block-out poetry to say "You shouldn't have done that," among many other things) combined with the mention of someone's son dying, it makes a ton of sense that the wiki editors assumed that Ben is a member of this Lawman family that appears here. At some point, screenshots of the wiki ended up being circulated and the larger Creepypasta fandom accepted Lawman as being Ben's "real" last name.

Lawman is actually the last name of a different (and much less relevant) character, Tyler, who appears briefly in the first and third arcs. It's not entirely clear what happened to him or his family, and I think the Newspaper Article is intended to be fun bonus material for Jadusable's donators rather than something that's meant to supply important information about the ARG characters--something like Ben's last name would be crucial for puzzles and passwords, and would give the 50 donators who received the article an unfair advantage (and Jadusable isn't the type of creator who'd be okay with that). Regardless, it carries some interesting implications about the Behavioral Event Network, and Matt's initials are also here for some reason. It's probably one of the most head-spinning materials in the whole game.

Not sure if anyone else has thought of this but i think that the reason Slime is glitching while having kinda less visible code is that it’s taking over his hybrid cells specifically.

Because essentially being a slime hybrid means that his cells are always changing. He appears mostly human with slime parts but to consistently look human his cells would be constantly be changing to keep shape because he’s goo!

So with the heavy dose of code corruption and his cells ever changing it’s only showing in heavily infected areas where as the areas not visible are glitching because the slime is separating and his body is no longer stable.

While Etoiles and Max are slowly corrupted because their bodies aren’t constantly changing and are kinda more stable against the consistent and controlled low dosage of corruption they’re receiving?

Ok, but like…the fact Rico is canonically 80lbs will always baffle me.

Like…how on earth did the zookeepers (not just Alice) pick him up and didn’t go “hmmm, something’s not right here…”

I get it makes sense with all the shit he shoves down his gullet, but at the same time…
