Different ways to interpret Grian's face

[karmaspidr]

Just learnt some new Watcher Grian Lore

[sup3rsp0r3]

Uhhh more watcher Grian stuff bc the trivia bit gave me ideas :3

"Grian! I need your help, this one's about you!"

Skizz had said, right before he ran off toward his bot. Grian promptly went over to help Skizz. The man's voice rang out through the surrounding group as Grian grew closer. "Er... This one's... Odd." A choir of 'huh?' 'What do you mean?' And, 'How so?' Were the response from the crowd.

"The question says, 'Grian is...' And then it cuts to the answers."

Grian felt a chill go up his spine. The small wings on his head fluttered, threatening to close over his eyes. He had a feeling something like this might happen. A feeling that THEY would mess with this game as well. It didn't matter how much he put into the code, they were always following.

"What are the answers?" Mumbo asked, raising an eyebrow. His sword was planted in the dirt, his hands against the handle as he used the weapon like a crutch. Skizz answered with a slightly weary tone. "Well... The answers are, 'An Entity,' 'A Player,' 'A Code,' and- wait a second. The last answer is glitching out. I can't see it." Mumbo stepped closer, glancing at the screen on the bot. Grian shakily moved forward as well. A good portion of the surrounding group had a clue on what was happening.

To Grian, the words weren't fritzing out at all. In fact, they were a bright purple that left the rest of the screen unreadable. The glow was so bright it painted the surrounding area purple. Just enough to leave a film over everything. It was like no one else saw it.

"It's the glitched one." Grian said, his voice coming out almost detached. "They- uhm, the bot's a little glitched. It shouldn't be a problem again." He chuckled nervously, the wings on his head finally closing over the top half of his face.

Mumbo tensed, quickly pulling his sword properly into his hand. He didn't often see Grian with an obscured face. He had stated how much he hated masks before, and he had only recently been willing enough to open up and explain why. Mumbo didn't know all the details, but he knew enough to say, this wasn't good. This was dangerous.

Skizz wearily selected the answer, watching as the bot calibrated and glew green, putting its robotic arms up in the air to signify Skizz's correct answer. Skizz collected the drops, his prize if you will. All though, Skizz wasn't paying attention to what he had picked up. He was paying attention to the newfound purple fade at the edges of Grian's little head wings.

Few people knew what it actually meant.

Everyone was focusing on it.

The ones that did were terrified.

The ones that didn't were concerned, maybe even scared.

Fin.

I feel like I have to come and say, as I've been watching Mumbos episode, I really feel like Grians been leaning into the whole watcher thing, genuinely. He was trying to protect Mumbo and Skizz with everything he had, but they still died. That's the way the game goes, though. And he didn't have to change the food source, but he knows that it's the way the game is played. He has to follow the rules or else.

[as-de-spadas]

Thinking about Grian saying in the last 3rd Life session that he didn't want Scar to die causw he was "the most interesting character".

Thinking about how much reckless stuff Grian has done on Hermitcraft just to "see what happens".

And thinking about Evo, and how some Watcher habits never quite go away huh

[give-grian-rights]

Actually if you have a minute could you explain/link NPC Grian? I know barely anything about him and don’t know where to look other than maybe helsmits?

Nope! Not a helsmit!! older than the term i'm prety sure, actually.

NPC Grian/NPGrian was a running gag in old build tutorials, minigames, and Buildswap. He was summoned like a fucking demon, as shown in i BELIEVE, One Hour Buildswap. I don't remember his introduction, but he was in a small handful of videos.

he was obsessed with rustic houses, and was featured in a downloadable world that Grian had a for a while. he was just. NPC Grian. and he walked you through how to build a rustic house.

He was a Buildswap judge one time, and im not sure HOW they did his model but he . um. he fucked up a bit

Grian canonically made him as a failed science experiment. so my PRESUMPTION is he made some sorta fucking. soulless clone of himself and then summoned a demon to possess it. because the weird part is, he's ? not a? robot ?

there ALSO Robot Grian .

and as far I'm aware, Robot Grian only made one appearance, he was a POV character on his channel that he played as, but used a text-to-speech bot to commentate over it because he was sick.

they are completely separate characters and it was NPGrian's idea to make/finish Robot Grian because he was just kinda. a metal husk in the basement. NPGrian canonically lived in the closet locked in by Grian.

NPGrian is a bit cruel and probably dangerous, but mostly incompetent and possessive. all he can think about is rustic houses and thats pretty much his only purpose in life.

Robot Grian was programmed to be physically incapable of bad-talking Grian and resents him for it. whenever he tries to do so he is forced to say nice things instead.

basically Grian is the absentee father to not one, not two, not three, not four, BUT SIX. SIX CHILDREN. Jrumbot, Grumbot, Grumbot Prime, Emperor Grumbot , NPC Grian and. AND. Robot Grian

Grian’s eyes are non-existent, Grian’s eyes have been plucked out, Grian’s eyes were plucked out by the Watchers when he was stripped of his powers-

GRIAN LORE TIMELINE

I don't care what anyone else says, but for me, Grian's lore timeline goes:

Yandere High School -> Tokyo Soul -> EVO -> Life Series -> CraftedMovies -> Wynncraft -> HermitCraft.

Now to my explanation: Basically, Grian was abandoned by his parents. The whole Yandere High School thing happened, which made him a bit deranged. But after the universe was destroyed in Tokyo Soul, Grian, Taurtis, and Sam were given a choice by a watcher:

Either redo high school all over again or participate in an infinite death loop. Grian and Taurtis chose the infinite death loop, figuring it was better than high school could ever be, and Sam chose to redo everything all over again.

This led to EVO. Taurtis took a bit longer because he was still thinking about his choice, but eventually, he came to EVO as well. Grian is still a bit deranged, which makes the watchers intrigued and wondering if Grian would be fitting to become a watcher and maybe he might enjoy the suffering.

But then they instantly realize something: Taurtis is an issue. He's stopping Grian from achieving something greater, from fully going into madness. So they get rid of Taurtis.

Grian then goes to The End and becomes a watcher. And he's a GOOD watcher. Everything he plans, every server he destroys, is filled with chaos and bloodshed, and it's entertaining. The watchers LOVE IT. But Grian finds it boring, so he joins in. He becomes part of it. So the Life games begin. The other watchers are against this, but Grian doesn't care. He likes the thrill; he enjoys being part of it.

But during the Life Series, he starts to genuinely enjoy the other players. He likes the jokes, the pranks, to laugh and smile with other people, and at some point, he enjoys their company more than the death game itself.

Everyone there has been in this death loop for a while, being tricked by the watchers, seeking a safe space for themselves and ending up trapped. So Grian's redemption arc begins. He helps every player break out of the death loop, erasing their memories and sending them to a safer universe where the watchers would never find them.

The watchers are FURIOUS, so Grian runs away and goes to seek out help. That's when he meets the Crafted Movies crew. They are insanely knowledgeable about Minecraft, and they were also running from the watchers after their original worlds were destroyed, so they decide to join Grian.

With that, Grian manages to defeat the original watchers, ending the bloodshed. The Crafted Movies crew then finds a server called Wynncraft, which is hunted by infinite amounts of monsters and barely anyone can survive. So Grian uses all of his power to grant the people of Wynncraft the power of magic, the power to fight back. He then leaves the Crafted Movies crew to take care of Wynncraft.

Grian visits some different worlds for a while before finally finding HermitCraft. Not being as powerful, he settles there. The end

Anyway, that's about it. This is mainly focused on the fact that Watchers in the Bible (Book of Enoch, tbf) fell in love with humanity and abandoned heaven, living amongst humans and giving them the forbidden knowledge of magic.

[hanselsbike]

K but what if watcher grian's thousand eyes were the ones of people he loved in the past

I'M JUST SAYING IT'D BE COOL IF SOMEONE DREW THAT </3

[local-littleguy]

There’s something wrong with Grian.

Maybe it’s the way he has such odd beady eyes. Or how he’s got paws and feathered antennae, even though avians have neither of those things. Nor do parrots have clawed wings.

Or the way he always knows the goings-on. The way his pranks always mange to cause so much chaos, the way he always seems short and stubby.. even though avians have far more aerodynamic figures.

Maybe it’s how he doesn’t seem to always open his mouth when he talks, or how he never blinks, or how he seems to feel far too comfortable with the death games.

The Hermits enjoy them, yes, but there is something in the corners of the victors’ eyes. Like they came back wrong. Like there are eyes forever watching them.

Maybe it’s that he isn’t affected by the Void. Maybe it’s that he can eat chocolate, even though avians can’t. Maybe it’s that his form seems like a puppet pulled by strings, almost seeming to .. glitch in the corners of your vision. Maybe it’s that his laugh echoes like he’s in a huge empty room, no matter where he is, or that his feathers and hair always ruffle in a wind that isn't there.

There’s something wrong with Grian. So why don’t the Hermits notice?

Grian joining the death games just to sour the Watchers' meal by making them fun is so him and should be the default in this fandom.

Grian Lore

[itzwaku]

Can someone please explain watcher lore and anything else cause I'm so lost, I've been watching hermitcraft more than 2 years now (or more idk my memory is bad) and I've only heard about it recently

[ilovebigants]

Imma tell you some basic stuff bestie.

C!Grian has switched souls multiple times with his best friend, splitting it in half at one point so they can share, has been part of SEVERAL death games created by malevolent gods he used to be a part of, was in a Moon Cult, is obsessed with the worlds most average man, has attempted ritual sacrifice and the summoning of demons and built an actual portal to a different dimension just to mess with Some Guy who happens to be a literal kids toy.

And these are the ones off the top of my head...

I mean, CC!Grian also has some crazy lore, but idk how comfy he is with that being spread around

How about… Grian and ace attorney Mayhaps..

he really is just a guy
