#hermitblr surveys

[ancientcity]

After surveying MCYTblr in August of 2023, I’m conducting another survey that has similar questions. It aims to follow up on the question asked previously, "How do we feel about RPF?", and to see if this has changed at all in the past 6 or so months.

After this survey concludes, I’ll start writing up my findings, as well as creating graphics to make the data more easily digestible.

There are no required questions, I just ask that you answer as honestly as you can, and skip any that you're not comfortable answering.

Hermitblr Fanfic Survey results: Part 1

Yes I know the text is tiny. I’m too tired to go make an individual text box for everything, so please click on the images for higher quality!

It’s interesting to see how different questions were interpreted. For example, under 30% of respondents said they liked EVO crossovers, but over 90% said they like EVO/watcher elements in at least some capacity. I would’ve interpreted these to have the same meaning, but clearly there is a difference!

What would hermitblr’s idea fanfic be according to this survey?

The fanfic is a multichapter fic rated T. It would be between 40k-70k words and have 2k-5k words per chapter. A popular ship of the author’s choice would be preferred, and it the tone would lean slightly to fluff, but angst would be present. Grian would be the main character, and it would be set in season eight.

Odds are that this sounds very familiar. But at the time of writing this, searching for hermitcrafts fics rated T between, 40k-70k words, tagged with both fluff and angst, and excluding genfics returns only nine fics, and at most two of them actually fit the above description. Taste is so wide and varied, and preferred elements don’t always occur together. This is just shows that there’s an audience for every fic, and that shooting for the middle isn’t much of a strategy. Write whatever you want!

In the mean time, stay tuned for part two in which I cover the sillier questions!

MINECRAFT SMP FANS!!! I am calling on you!

I’m working on a video essay about Minecraft SMP’s and there effects on people and am looking for more insight. I’ve made a google form for this and would be incredibly pleased if people would fill it out.

It would also be super helpful if this could be spread to non-Minecraft communities as well. I would like a bigger sample size then just people who know they like Minecraft.

Here it is! Thank you so much for your help.

EDIT: So it’s not letting me see who wrote what answer, so just know that if you write a written answer that will be shared anonymously.

[loud-whistling-yes]

Polls exist now, which means I can finally find the answer I've been searching for months

[luigra]

While I'm in a taking on excessive amount of projects mood again. I know some of yall folks have a high amount of ideas for stories and I've got a high amount of ideas for formats. So uh. If any of you know what I could turn into a choose-your-own-adventure visual novel played on tumblr with minecraft talk sprites. well.

[syn4k]

hello! i made a hermitcraft survey for the people who haven't watched hermitcraft within the past year but may have seen it on their dashboards a few times (or a lot)

people in hermitblr Please Please Please do not fill this out i'm trying to get as clean a dataset as possible

[braxiatel]

Given our general love of surveys I can’t wait for tumblr polls to sweep through hermitblr/trafficblr

as someone who separates the content creator from the minecraft character

seeing this gives off a really eerie feeling

like logically yes I know that's just another minecraft account, but what's the in world explanation for this? of xisuma just having another copy of himself standing and staring blankly next to him?

[verdantglow]

that makes so much sense actually. i also am making some aus (unrelated) and am wanting to seperate them into little ficlets/art pieces/comics of the pieces that motivate me before even touching on an overarching story but also god is it difficult for me. if thats what works for you as well id definitely say treat it like that (also i would LOVE to see any animatics you do for this)

i personally am mostly watching the hermits doing their hermit crafting (currently watching 18 hermits simultaneously the hyperfixation is b a d) and a couple SOS members, though i plan to watch more of the creators. I've really only seen up to double life (all through grians pov), and i havent even finished that. in my defence, the "its for your secret soulmate" line utterly and completely destroyed me and i have NOT recovered since (i stopped watching his hermitcraft videos after that too until the start of s10).

i have made the resolution to go watch other povs but i need to finish his first rip.

ANYWAY BACK TO THE AU

How often do you think the vflarp games effect their out of game relationships? like obviously it led to them becoming friends and desert duo becoming "moirails" but like. Did double life cause a rift between grian and scar? has rendog being absent from the games had any significance on anything? (i havent watched further so i cant really give too many other examples). Do the winners get anything other than the satisfaction that they alone won?

absolute behemoth of an ask my bad

Yeah! There’s just something so appealing about being able to just jump around & do mini projects that go together rather than one huge one. I’m hoping it’ll hold off the burn out I inevitably get for my AUs. **stares off into the distance thinking about all my mega fics that only ever got three chapters** I get it being hard to break it down though! I hope you’re able to land at a place where you can create as easily & painlessly as possible. ^^

I feel you on the hyperfixation lol. I was doing that hermitblr survey that’s going around & realized that I watch every episode of a third of the server, & some to most episodes of another third. & there’s a handful in the final third that I’ve been meaning to watch, but haven’t gotten to because I’m so busy watching everyone else & thinking about fanworks. This season is just slamming all the good brain chemical buttons!

Tbf, “it’s for your secret soulmate” hit so fucking hard, I do not blame you an ounce for wanting to take a break after that! When you’re ready, I highly recommend Martyn’s 3rd life, it’s so good! I never quite got the Renchanting/Treebark hubbub as someone who’d only seen Grian’s perspective of that season, but after watching Martyn’s… The drama is just. So. Good. Martyn + Ren is just a combo of theatre kid lore nerds & it honestly slaps. Gem’s Secret Life is damn good as well, just ‘cause she got to be a chaos gremlin & we love to see it.

Oh yes, their VLARPing affects IRL relationships all the time! A lot of early relationships developed due to playing 3rd Life & those relationships continued on to influence who went on which ship once they reached adulthood! Obviously, we’ve got Scar & Griann, but also there’s Scohtt & Jimmie who became auspitices, & Wrehnn & Martyn who stick together & eventually become matesprits. Jimmie & Tangoh hit it off after playing Double Life as soulmates & eventually enter a [matespritship? Moiraillegance? Haven’t decided] as well. & of course, my beloved Boat Boys developed their weird whatevership around the same time. (Joel swears they’re pitch. Eethos never comments on it. The truth is somewhere around them being hate friends who are flushed for each other??? But fuck if you’ll ever get either of them to admit it.)

Things were pretty rocky for Scar & Griann after DL; the whole secret soulmate thing was a case of Griann being mildly annoyed with Scar & thinking he could get back at Scar/make Scar jealous. This blew up in his face ~*~spectacularly~*~ & it took quite a bit for things to heal between them. (Mummbo spent a lot of that time being very confused why the vibes on Scar’s ship were so fucking rancid until he managed to get Griann to fess up.)

There definitely is a plot related reason Wrehnn hasn’t been playing, but I’m holding back on finalizing anything until I get more of the out of game plot mapped out. But yes, that definitely affects/is an effect of things in game!

I think, much like in real life, winning is just for the prestige of it. Like, in this AU, the Life series is just a bunch of games they’re playing for the heck of it. Though this does make me think that I need to decide where these games come from, whether it’s a mass market thing or something Griann threw together or if maybe it came from some other outside influence. Hm…

The Hermitblr Fanfic Survey

From the maker of the Hermitcraft Attraction Survey, I bring to you more fun data!

The goal of this survey to to analyze the trends and preferences of Hermitblr as a whole with regards to their fanfiction preferences. This is way less complicated than my previous survey (read: actually possible), so the results should be out quickly after the polling period ends. A few of the questions have a space for elaboration after. These are not required, but you are all welcome to give me deranged paragraphs to wade through (pls pls the deranged paragraphs are the fun part)

At the end of the survey period, I will compile the data and share my findings.

Access the google forms survey HERE! And that's a wrap! The survey period is now closed and it is time to interpret data :D

[eggskall]

thinking about how we were already obsessed with polls like at least a full year before they got implemented <- hermitblr surveys

[loud-whistling-yes]

Hi. Tumblr hates me so here's a separate post for my various works/aus and lesser-used tags so I can fit more stuff into the main intro post

Knight and knight: silly hc x hk crossover featuring ghost and wels. There's no plot or anything just wels and ghost being bad influences to each other

Ohtwa: short for One Hundred Thousand Worlds Away, aka my interpretation of the @/hermitcraftheadcanons's scattered au. Mostly contains links to new chapters, but also me complaining about writing and sometimes concept sketches of the thing

Shipwrecked au: light-hearted hc x dsmp crossover, started by our loved and cherished @/redtechnoanon and then me and @/wildcardjoey RAN with it. Currently has two chapters on ao3

The hermitblr survey saga: UGH. one time I made a post asking people to leave their favourite hermit and their sexualities in the tags cause I SWEAR aroaces flock to wels and pearl like moths to a flame. Never got around to actually sorting the info out cause holy shit there were so many responses. If it helps I'm pretty sure almost all tango fans were aro-spec

Failing at basic human recognition: fuck you. Grian and Tommy look identical.

Art/writing/character reference: what it says on the tin

Long posts i like: also explains itself

THE OFFICIAL HERMITCRAFT SPOOKINESS SURVEY RESULTS ARE IN!

And I’ve made a lovely powerpoint to share with you all! 

I’d offer a link to an actual slideshow but I tried importing it to google slides and it all went to hell in a handcart.

 ID’s courtesy of the lovely folks over at @mcyt-transcribed​ , are under the cut!

Thanks so much to everyone who participated!

Enjoy! 

[ID: A 14 page slideshow titled, "Who is the spookiest Hermit?" formatted to follow the questions from an earlier quiz, "Who is the spookiest Hermit?" "Who is the least spooky Hermit?" "Which Hermit would be a horror movie monster?" and "Which Hermit would be the first to die in a horror movie?" Each category has a slide with the top three voted hermits, a bar graph, and a responses slide. /end ID]

Longer ID under the cut! And by long, I mean REALLY long! 

[ID: 

Photo 1: In a spooky font centered on a dark gray background reads, “Hermitcraft Spookiness Survey! Results and witty rejoinders courtesy of you, yes you!” Underneath the title reads, “A survey by MawOfTheMagnetar with image descriptions proved by @mcyt-transcribed!” There are minecraft skins from HermitCraft’s season 7 halloween celebration in each corner, Keralis in his green ghoul head in the bottom left, Zedaph’s black and white ZedDeath. In top left, a red tinted [head] In top right, and a black tinted [head] In bottom right

Photo 2: Titled: “Who is the Spookiest Hermit?” in the same spooky font.

On the left in a text box and normal font reads, “Doc and Cleo were closely tied through most of the survey, Doc only managing to pull through at the last minute to be crowned the spookiest of all the hermits!”

On the right is a text box which reads “Joe, who spent most of the survey at the back of the pack, surged ahead in a surprise upset and stole a richly-deserved bronze!”

On the smallest podium is Joe Hills, followed by ZombieCleo in 2nd, and DocM77, edited to wear a crown, on the middle and highest podium in 1st place.

Photo 3: A bar graph titled, "Who is the Spookiest Hermit?"

The bars are red and read, “Doc = 143, ZombieCleo = 139, Joe Hills = 72, Etho = 66, Cubfan = 48, xBCrafted = 36, Keralis = 35, PearlescentMoon = 27, BdoubleO = 22, Grian = 19, Hypno = 17, Scar = 14, Tango = 14, Xisuma = 13, FalseSymmetry = 12, Zedaph = 12, VintageBeef = 11, StressMonster = 10, TinFoilChef = 10, Welsknight = 10, GeminiTay = 8, iJevin = 7, Mumbo = 3, Rendog = 3, ImpulseSV = 1, Iskall85 = 1."

Photo 4: Titled, "Selected Responses:" There are screenshots of selected text in white boxes scattered around the image.

Tango’s Minecraft face hangs from the top of the photo upside down above the text, "I can imagine Tango crawling all over my ceilings and walls in the night."

"You are nothing to Cub. I am nothing to Cub. Cub sees his goals and sees what stands between them and him and there is soon to be an empty path in his wake. (Honorable mention: Joe because he could probably pull off the next creepypasta ARG to sweep the web if he really wanted to and I am telling you right now that the seams would be nonexistent. I've seen him get soda in his beard and talk for at least ten minutes straight about rhinestones though so)"

Zedaph peeks out from the left of the photo to the left of, "zedaph is not spooky he just feels like he Would do a horrifying experiment on you"

"We all know it's Cleo. The rest of them are undeniably pathetic (endearing) but Cleo can and will kill you"

Gem peeks out from below, "Gem gets a ranking here because she's SO unassuming, but she will murder."

"Pearl seems fine at first, and then she's not."

"If you breathe on cleo wrong she would murder and she'd be right for it"

xB peeks out from the right of the photo between the next two messages. "xB is just really elusive to me lol, ive watched stuff of his but he's just like so weirdly spooky to me regardless of what he does."

"xB is mostly unsettling. like, have you seen the guy? i think it was in one of solarflare's stories where they described xB's smile as the kind of smile you expect to come with sharp teeth or red eyes or smth but it just Isn't There. and that feels Wrong. my guy feels Wrong because he's too notmal when you expect him to be more abnormal."

"If I saw doc as the fanartist depict him literally anywhere at night I would be shaking in my boots. That's the terminator. I'm out."

"have you seen joe hills."

"Keralis walks like he's going to murder you."

Keralis is below, "keralis isnt the scariest hermit, but he does have the most threatening vibes. i might take more damage by angering doc or existing in cub's vicinity when he's in a silly goofy mood, but keralis i think has the most 'theres something lurking behind those eyes' vibes, and i dont know why. i can see why he was assigned eldritch by the fandom"

"doc would be the best at ruining your life so while he isn't a scary guy he could be! he just isn't! keralis scares me.”

Photo 5: Another slide formatted with a three tiered podium titled: "Who Is The Least Spooky Hermit?"

On the left of the slide, "Mumbo was the runaway favourite to win this category right from the start, and sweeps the Wet Tissue award without breaking a sweat!"

On the right side of the slide, "Gem, in an upset so surprising an amendment had to be frantically made, apparently took third place! Congrats to her! She’s a soggy cat too, folks! “

Gem is on the 3rd place podium, Bdubs in 2nd place, and MumboJumbo, edited to wear a crown, in 1st .

Photo 6: Another bar graph titled "Who is the Least Spooky Hermit?”

"MumboJumbo = 114, BdoubleO = 94, GeminiTay = 75, Xisuma = 72, GoodTimesWithScar = 69, Zedaph = 39, StressMonster = 33, Rendog = 32, ImpulseSV = 28, Iskal185 = 25, Etho = 22, Keralis = 19, Joe Hills = 17, Grian = 16, TangoTek = 16, VintageBeef = 16, TinfoilChef = 12, Doc = 8, FalseSymmetry = 7, PearlescentMoon = 7, Welsknight = 7, iJevin = 4, ZombieCleo = 2, Hypno = 1, Cubfan = 0, xBCrafted = 0."

Photo 7: Titled, "Selected Responses:" There are screenshots of selected text in white boxes scattered around the image.

"bdubs my little scromblo skrunkle skrinkly diddly doo"

Mumbo is between the next two messages. "This man is a wet cat in human form, he is a webkin that has been soaked in milk and thrown at the nearest wall, he is the saddest most pathetic sounding squeak toy to ever be squeezed" and "mumbo jumbo the slowly boiled frog of hermitcraft"

"Mumbo is just a human chocolate éclair tbh"

"Tango looks like my dad and I believe I can take my dad in a fight so its fine"

Scar is in the bottom left corner to the left of "Yes I put Scar as most and least spooky. He has the range"

Wels is to the right of "Wels could walk into my room covered in blood and I'd laugh at him. His boots go 'cling clong'."

"the only thing that scares me about doc is the potential of him saying some dumb shit on twitter and me having to see it all over my tumblr dash for some reason. how is he supposed to scare me he doesn't even know how to roleplay without godmodding <3"

Below the previous text is a screenshot of a tweet that reads: "Docm77 @/docm77 'Day 1 at the nude spa. I won.' 3:02 PM - Sep 17, 2020."

"Wet paper towel man. Pathetic wet cat that's been left out in the rain. Man fucking confused himself with a piston. Ppl keep making xisuma the 'scary admin' but i think hed be startled by his own reflection."

"Xisuma is bitchless and literally has the vibes of a fucking cotton ball but by god is he a dude lol"

Grian's head overlaps on the word "threatening" in "Sorry Grian you're a Problem but you're not threatening"

Photo 8: A bar graph titled, "Which Hermit would be a horror movie monster?"

On the left of the slide, "Doc clinches the crown again, with Cleo right behind nipping at his heels! A richly-deserved silver for Cleo and another easy W for Doc."

On the right of the slide, "Another surprise upset came in the form of Bdubs nudging out established spook machines like Ren and Grian to clinch the bronze for himself! Soggy and Scary simultaneously- Bdubs can do it all, folks!"

Bdubs is in 3rd place, ZombieCleo in 2nd, and DocM77, edited to be wearing a crown, in 1st.

Photo 9: A bar graph titled, "Which Hermit would you most expect to be the monster in a horror movie?"

"Doc = 120, ZombieCleo = 105, BdoubleO = 53, Grian = 43, Rendog = 38, Keralis = 35, Etho = 29, Joe Hills = 25, PearlescentMoon = 22, Cubfan = 21, xBCrafted = 20, TangoTek = 18, Scar = 17, Zedaph = 13, MumboJumbo = 12, Xisuma = 12, GeminiTay = 10, iJevin = 10, VintageBeef = 8, Falsesymmetry = 6, ImpulseSV = 5, StressMonster = 5, Hypno = 4, Iskall85 = 3, Welsknight = 3, TinFoilChef = 2."

Photo 10: Titled, "Selected Responses:" There are screenshots of selected text in white boxes scattered around the image. Up in the top is a message from the creator, “Shoutout to the multiple novels I got in the responses for this one!"

"gem's like the overly friendly homeowner who turns out to be a serial killer in the third act. i dont actually think keralis is all that scary, but i do think he has too many joints and his eves are a little bit too wide."

Scar is to the left of, "scar is a monster but in a "you forgot to read the fine print. my friend" kinda way"

"zedaph is not the monster. he's the man behind the monster the victor frankenstein, except he doesn't regret his crimes against god and science. now, i could've chosen cub, but cub's a force of chaos who does science, whereas zed's a scientist who does chaos. and yes, chaos is a good motivator, but it doesn't necessarily lend itself to long term villainy. (honorable mention to tango, who is more of a fantasy/rpg villain than a horror villain.)"

Cub is below, "Imagine horror movie monster. Evil Ghost. Evil Scientist. Evil Vampire. Not inherently evil but perceived to be as such Man- eating alien. CEO of oil company. They couldn't all be played by the same guy, right? Wrong. Welcome to my perfect reality where Cub gets to be every evil guy and is rewarded handsomely for it"

"ren. were woof"

"have you seen joe hills."

"All feral"

Grian is above, "i feel like grian'd be the ominous figure staring at you from the end of a darkened corridor"

"gem is the final girl. nothing else to be said she has killed and will kill again! (good for her!!!!)"

Impulse is below, "impulse may be a canon demon. but hes simply to kind to be evil. also let him rip people apart"

"ehk. also the sight of keralis in a dark hallway staring directly at me would kill me instantly" Keralis' eyes are framed by the previous and next message, making them pop and hiding his mouth

"keralis and scar would be in a fucked up horror movie with the uncanny valley thing going on, like a parasite / alien imposter movie"

Photo 11:  

Another slide formatted with a three tiered podium titled: "Which Hermit would be the first to die in a horror movie?”

On the left of the slide, " To the surprise of absolutely nobody on planet Earth, Scar sweeps this category without an issue. He’s here to have a good time and he’s having it in Leatherface’s front garden. " 

On the right side of the slide, "In even less surprising news, the gold and silver winners in the Wet Paper Bag event also podium for this one! I’m as shocked as you are." 

Mumbo is on the 3rd place podium, Bdubs in 2nd place, and Scar, edited to wear a crown, in 1st.

Photo 12: 

A bar graph titled, "Which Hermit would be the first to die in a horror movie?" 

“GoodtimeswithScar = 134, BdoubleO = 107, MumboJumbo= 81, Xisuma = 48, TangoTek = 31, Zedaph = 27, Grian = 22, Keralis = 22, Rendog = 18, Joe Hills = 17, ImpulseSV = 10,  Iskall85 = 9, Etho = 7, Stressmonster = 7, iJevin = 6, Cubfan = 5, Falsesymmetry = 5, GeminiTay = 5, VintageBeef = 5, Welsknight = 4, ZombieCleo = 4, Doc = 3,  PearlescentMoon = 2, xBCrafted = 2, Hypno = 1, TinfoilChef = 0.” 

Photo 13:  

Titled, "Selected Responses!" There are screenshots of selected text in white boxes scattered around the image. In the background is a faint image of Scar. 

“Have you seen Scar”

“Listen, I know the obvious answer is Mumbo. HOWEVER, for peak wet cat-ness, I think he needs to survive a few murders and get properly traumatized. Going off classic horror movie tropes, the first victims are usually the popular kids, and Jevin has big jock energy.” Jevin is hanging from the top of the image.

“Scar….scar. *sigh* Scar.”

“Keralis’ maidenly behaviour puts him in the danger zone. The bimbo teen girl always dies first.”

“Sorry impulse. they say virgins always die first.” 

“impulse: white man from the desert. there's no way he doesn't go into the forest/room that he hears strange noises from” 

Impulse in his normal skin is looking from the side of these messages. 

“They would all die first.” 

“Its Scar. Need I say more” 

“welsknight for sure is gonna go out looking for the monster/bad guy to "protect" the others and ends up getting killed first” 

“ I think Scar will die first in such a comical way that the horror movie genre shifts into horror-comedy for Scar’s death” 

“Scar always dies first.” 

“sorry Ren, but I haven’t checked doesthedogdie.com yet and I had to make some guesses” Ren is poking out of the side next to this message.

“I know Solidaritygaming isn't here but it would be him. they'd invite him to the haunted forest and he'd die a terrible death”  Solidaritygaming is emerging from the corner with several white question marks over his head.

“bdubs would immediately start screaming if left in an unlocked fully furnished upkept basement with the lights off” 

“Scar” 

“Bdubs would survive everything cause he would go to sleep and wake up after the horrors were over.” 

“zedaph voice: "oh hey what does this monster do? fascinating!" (immediately dies)”

[voidmenace]

so i was thinking earlier about how like, techno had a reputation for being Very loved by lesbians and things like that, which led me to wonder which Hermit draws in the most of various sexualities/genders.

basically, here's a survey for you hermitblr, help me figure out who everyone flocks to

edit: changed "sexuality" to "orientation" and added aromantic, genderfluid, and genderqueer in there. anything else can be put in under the "other" option

edit 2: closing this on the 12th around noon CST or whenever i remember

final edit: CLOSED NOW!! thank you for all the responses, i’ll be working on compiling everything!!
