#hermitcraft recap cats

[apollo-the-story-teller]

Hi more cat recap

So they’re not actually cat, just like unfortunate people. Pix while not a cat in empires when in a room with hermits he becomes a cat boy.  When the crossover happens he turns into a cat and needs Lizzie to translate. The empires fawn over how small he is and the hermits are forced to grapple with their little cat buddies who Cleo gets to learn exist when Zloy howls learns some human does this too her. Gem, Pearl, and False all grapple with comparisons. Gem has gotten Pix into a dress! A dress!

Cat look wise Pix is a darker orange cat who managed to get covered in some cyan paint. He’s small like take reasonably small, make him smaller. He is just a kitten. Zloy is mainecoon with more calico looking patterns. He is a big boy Ly is also a mainecoon but color is undecided. She is long silky and likes being brushed.

Pix likes redstone not only will he watch people do redstone but he will investigate redstone often winding up stuck cause he doesn’t want to break anything. Pix likes hiding in clothes and sitting on people, do not fly with him though. Ly is an angel who lets people dress her up, she wants to be brushed and cradled like a baby. She enjoys being in a cat harness. Zloy is evil he likes terrorizing Cleo and then acting super sweet to Joe. He’s most prone to just yell.

They gossip with Jellie and they found out recap were human when they tried going to a cat paradice and everyone but Jellie were human. Jellie was mad for weeks.

Tango is super warm, this is utilized, mostly by Doc who is still afraid of cats. Doc will give the cats gifts to leave him alone, but the amount of times he’s heard Pix stuck in his wiring is bad enough nevermind the other 2.

My 2023 art review! A bit underwhelming a third of the squares are blank but I'm proud of it all nonetheless.

This week, on CHC:

Flowers, trees, and dragons, Oh My!

Welcome to the CHC recap, my name is Pixlriffs, our writer is ZloyXP, our physical copies printed by Lyarrah. So much has happened in the past week and a half since the last recap, so without further ado:

Let's take a look at all the events and mishaps that occurred on Camp Hermitcraft, this week!

Starting with @gem-the-oracle, who caught a nasty bug, and spent most of the week ill in the Big House. Being the Oracle of Delphi of course, absolutely nothing could go wrong! Besides, it couldn't be weirder than her vision of purple flowers that were quickly identified as Hyacinths, the same kind of flower plaguing every Apollo kid and especially Apollo himself! This spirals into madness as @sungod7-fuckyoupearl starts getting texts from none other than Daphne, known to her account name @notoriginallyatreenypmh and the sun god as "The One Who Got Away". Apollo quickly undergoes the five stages of grief as he realizes this isn't a prank and @boatboynr1- who was turned into a cat by Apollo literally ten minutes prior- berates him with yowls.

Oh, and Apollo's dead boyfriend Hyacinthus seems to have been the one sending all the flowers. How @hyancithus is doing this beats all reason as he is stuck as a Hyacinth flower and can only communicate in 🪻 emojis. Daphne claims he's able to channel energy through her and the phone she stole but refuses to elaborate further. After a minor breakdown, Apollo teleports Daphne and Hya from their temporary prison of Italy to Camp Hermitcraft, where Daphne takes her axe- also stolen- and takes a breather in the camp lake. Apollo's hands are full as he does his best to take care of his dead boyfriend, whom is still stuck as a flower. A similar rescue mission is still ongoing, as @askhermesgrian, @camphermithater, and Joel have left on a quest to go retrieve @pearl-likes-hunting from some myserious woods. All at the request of @shutupapolloplease, of course.

And what do you know, a third retrieval is also ongoing! @hatotangoftek's metal dragon, Fotia, is loose in NYC and he scrambles to get her back before he ends up in more trouble than he already is.

@undead-daughter-of-heb attempts to help Tango, but not before blacking out and waking up hours later, with the Hebe cabin rearranged, nice notes everywhere, and people claiming that Gem had briefly possessed her. The strangeness doesn't end there, as she finds and almost adopts a stray cat in camp, before eventually realizing it was @askxisumachc who'd gotten cursed while shifted and couldn't change back. Cleo takes X to Camp Jupiter, where @lovemushroomsandflowers successfully returns him to human form. Ignoring the purring, cat tail, and cat ears that stayed behind, of course. And according to Scott, Xisuma also seems to have retained cat-like attributes, such as the innate need to chase a laser pointer.

(click for better size- couldn't enlarge it w/o crunchiness) Unluckily for Scott, or maybe luckily for X, @goldenqueenfalse ended up putting him in the hospital before he could test catnip on the acting camp director. This does mean that the fashion show, which most demigods have agreed to simply call "Prom", will be delayed some time, which is fine as some campers have yet to pick out outfits.

Some campers may need to re-choose outfits after ending up back as adults, as Cleo has figured out how to control her powers! Yay for Cleo!

Chaos isn't the only thing going on, as @asktheshreeper and @boatboynr2 spend the week hanging out and even make some shopping plans!

@askscarpjo makes head bead bracelets :)

@hatorendiggitydog also wants head bead bracelets. He then proceeds to dream about Tartarus and acts like thats normal. Etho is not convinced.

@askhatoskizz is not immune to his dad's dead boyfriend and after receiving Hyacinths, decides to do something else. He decides to take @erempulse to a musical and manages to get tickets from Apollo before the whole shrubbery shenanigans (see: above) go down.

@spoonsandmustaches spends his free time playing tech support for @hato-grumbot (ooc- run by the creator of the au himself: @ahllohehn).

@askhatokeralis spends the week running camp in Xisuma's absence. He's doing fantastic.

And finally there's @askluckskall, who's been contemplating his gender identity and is seeking help from Cleo. As of writing this, we have yet to see where this is headed.

AND that's about it for this weeks recap, our writer is ZloyXP, and my name is Pixlriff, physical copies printed by Lyarrah. Don't forget to leave a like while you're here, and follow so you don't miss future recaps. Thanks for reading, and we'll see you next week.

Stream Recap, ZombieCleo, 6/09/24

((Since the first few of these I did seem to be going over well so far, I'm doing some more and we'll see how it goes. I am going to call them Recaps from now on though, because in almost every case I'm working off the VOD, pausing, going back to figure out who said and did what, etc. This Recap is from Cleo's Twitch VOD for Sunday, 6/09. I watched the stream live but parts of it were moving much too fast to note down accurately!))

0:00 Cleo goes live. She is on the Hermitcraft server, in the front yard of her base. She says hello to everyone, especially the weirdos in chat. She realizes the chat has been left in emote-only mode and turns them back on. She tells Chat she has just gone through her mail and there is a lot of it. She got two horn-of-the-month club deliveries at once, and she needs to meet with Joel about armor stand work. She has a sand and gravel coupon and a Mission Possible mission, so much to do!

1:40 Cleo goes into the house, warning Chat as she goes that she has “lored” in here. There are eight books she has written just for this room, all for the lore. She goes back outside and spots Cakebot on the roof, then laughs about how she always sees the bot and, thanks to the long distance and long nametag, thinks it’s Scar sneaking up on her.

2:40 Time to get started! Cleo shows off the Tower, which needs to be dug out into a tower base. They say they are actually working today which doesn’t happen often, especially this past week or two. Cleo has been too sick to reasonably work and so has been taking a sensible rest. A chatter asks if Cleo is going to die today. Cleo says they are feeling better, somewhat, and not going to die. The cats are fighting in the background.

4:20 A chatter asks why their message was deleted. Cleo tells them to read the rules. She greets Cam the mod.

5:30 A chatter engages Cleowo mode. Cleowo interacts with the chat and thanks subs. Today is the first day Cleo has been feeling well enough to go outside in awhile. She quotes The Little Mermaid as a prose poem. The Little Mermaid was the first movie Cleo got to watch in the cinema, and that’s how old she is. A chatter plays a spicy jelly bean. Cleo says they also moved into the new office, which is mostly clean and painted and pretty.

7:45 Cleo leaves to get tissues and wishes everyone a happy Pride. She needs birch wood for the build and goes to find it in the basement. Cleowo mode ends. She thanks subs and donos as she navigates through her base.

9:20 Back at the tower build, Cleo needs to figure out something to do with the roof. They contemplate maybe blocking it off entirely. Chat is trying to remember their first Disney movies. Cleo assures them that this is not a quiz and they don’t need to remember or share that information. ((For the record: the animated The Little Mermaid released in the UK in October 1990. This probably makes Cleo slightly younger than the livestreamer, whose first Disney theater experience was Who Framed Roger Rabbit.))

10:30 A chatter asks if this will be on the test next week. Cleo adopts an extremely ominous voice to reply that nothing will be on the test next week because “NEXT WEEK DOESN’T EXIST!… because it’s an abstract concept.” A chatter plays a cheerful musical sting that makes the whole thing sound like the last punchline in a sitcom.

10:40 A chatter says they will not disclose their first movie because they are too old. Cleo says they are not going to force anyone to disclose anything in chat, movie telling is not mandatory. Everyone is cool here, no narcs allowed in the chat. The mod reminds Chat not to get specific about ages. Cleo agrees and promises that one of these days she will remember to support the mods on that issue, but possibly not soon. Cleo lines up a zinger on herself, delivers it, says that was mean and blames chat for it.

12:00 Back to design talk. Chat continues talking about movies and theatrical productions. Cleo removes most of the mangrove from inside the tower in order to replace it with sandstone. She agrees that the Lion King musical is great and reminds Chat that she is very tired. Being sarcastic all the time can be a problem for her because people don’t always understand it and can become offended very quickly. Chat likes that Cleo is sarcastic. Cleo points out that the people who do get offended tend to leave and then badmouth her on the internet. Her first inclination is to ask them to come back, but then she realizes they would not do well in her chat anyway and so she doesn’t care very much.

15:00 Cleo tells a story of someone who didn’t understand their sarcasm, who got very offended when they said Cleo was wonderful and she replied “I know.” Chat is definitely on Cleo’s side for this one. A chatter says content creators don’t owe the attention of sub thanks to their audience, but Cleo believes that it is important to thank donos and subs, though sometimes she does miss things. She says she is known for being a screwup, even as she misjudges the blocks she is placing for her new wall. She sighs.

17:00 A chatter asks if Cleo is doing anything for Pride. They answer that they do not like in-person events because they are not good with large groups of people, but does participate in Pride things online. Being a member of the community, they feel, gives them a pass on having to do too much stuff. Cleo did enjoy MCC Pride. The tower area is clean now, but needs shaping and a couple of floors.

19:00 Cleo organizes her inventory for building. She has a lot of stuff she doesn’t want or need. She finds sixteen anvils and wonders sarcastically where those could have come from. She needs spruce but doesn’t think she has any. A chatter asks why she doesn’t use background music. Cleo explains that she has an Epidemic Music license for her main channel but not one for the VODs channel where this will be uploaded, and YouTube Music has neither sufficient music nor a good player. Other solutions for royalty-free music has gotten streams muted in the past because of YouTube’s overenthusiastic AI. They tell chat that if Chat has any good suggestions, they are listening. A chatter suggests using the Hotdogs on Your Face song exclusively, but Cleo jokingly claims not to have enough cards for that. Cleo has forgotten what they are doing.

23:50 Cleo thanks the subs. She remembers that she was putting in floors. A chatter plays the Hotdogs On Your Face song. Cleo is now hyperaware of the lack of background music. She says that she is not going to upload this VOD, so she will see about doing some Epidemic music. She asks chat for what genre they want. Suggestions include “Silence,” “Lofi,” “Elevator Muzak,” and “Jazzercise.” She chooses “beach destination chill.” A chatter plays “Hug a Creeper.” Cleo says they’ll get there. A chatter asks Cleo to give some building techniques. Cleo suggests making a build more interesting by starting with a basic structure and then adding purpose-based additions. That is the easiest advice they can give, they are all tapped out for building advice. The chatter admits they were hoping to get some building skill through osmosis. Cleo sadly informs them that she has tried the same thing many times by sitting next to other hermits, but it does not work.

26:30 Cleo goes back to assembling supplies. Pixlriffs raids into the stream. Cleo welcomes the raiders and tells them that in this stream they are being obnoxious and facetious and other ous words. A chatter comments “So a normal Cleo stream?” and they respond “No, this one’s got music in.” They try to build a staircase in the tower and decide a ladder is a much better choice for the space involved. Pix’s chat tell Cleo that Pix was playing Elden Ring, a game Cleo knows nothing about. She hopes they had a fun time.

28:00 Etho is mentioned in chat (due to the “Ladders” nickname and his love of ladders). Cleo tells the chat she didn’t know about the ladders thing for a long time after meeting Etho. She didn’t know Etho before Hermitcraft and thus is much less in awe of him than folks who literally grew up watching his videos. She is aggressively _not_ an Etho fangirl. A chatter says they heard he was washed up. Cleo laughs and jokes that he washes up for supper sometimes. Chat is very enthusiastic about Etho, trying to counter Cleo’s amused dismissiveness with a list of Etho accomplishments. This is difficult because Cleo is not an Etho viewer and does not do redstone and is thus unimpressed by the Etho Hopper Clock.

30:00 Cleo decides to create a secret room to avoid having to deal with the unusually-shaped space at the edge of her base, while simultaneously trying to convince Chat that Etho is Just Some Dude. Chat is having none of it. Chat is also very in favor of Etho and Cleo as a Life Series comedic duo. A chatter mentions that Impulse also has a common redstone device named after him, the sorting system. Cleo declares this fact “cool” and reiterates that the things they know about the Hermits could fill a very small book, or maybe a pamphlet.

32:00 Cleo thanks the donos and subs, and makes a few more Etho jokes. They work on coming up with a design for the entrance to the secret room. Chat is still in Etho-mode and suggests maybe Cleo is secretly obssessed with Etho. Cleo points out that they didn’t even bring Etho up, only responded to Chat bringing him up in the first place. She assures Chat her days of not taking Chat seriously are coming to a middle. She blames Chat fully for this.

35:00 Cleo mentions new TCG cards are coming. Two of Cleo’s cards are already done and they are very good! A chatter activates Hydration time and everyone has a drink. Another chatter asks why Etho fans are here and not on Etho’s stream. Cleo laughs and asks why Etho fans are so obsessed with her. A chatter activates Posture Check Time. Cleo’s TCG cards are always good because they choose amazing artists, but they will not say too much so as not to give anything away.

37:30 A chatter asks how Cleo is feeling after Doc’s pigicide. Cleo answers “Litigious.” The tower elevator is coming together and needs signage. A chatter asks what her favorite minigame is, besides Decked Out. Cleo points out that they do not play very many minigames so don’t really have a favorite. They put signs in the elevator shaft to hold back the water.

40:00 A chatter asks what kinds of builds and genres Cleo would like to try in the future. Cleo says she mostly just builds what she is feeling at the time and doesn’t care too much about overarching themes or what other people think about it. She begins filling the elevator with water source blocks. A chatter says the build reminds them of the Owl House. Cleo does not know what the Owl House is.

42:00 Xisuma joins the server, says hello via in-game chat, and asks what Cleo is up to. Cleo tells Xisuma she is finishing her builds before Thursday, then explains to Chat that Things are happening on Thursday. Xisuma asks Cleo if Thursday is a secret. Cleo is not sure but says the details are probably a secret. Chat suspects that it is either a court case or base tours. Xisuma asks if Cleo needs anything, but they reply they are nearly ready and just have to finish building.

44:20 A chatter say that it is not difficult to guess what is happening, Cleo invites them to actually guess, if it is so easy. She says no special guests and no court case is happening, just Hermits doing Hermit stuff. A chatter says Joe mentioned base tours after the Hermitcraft meeting. Another chatter guesses update day, but Cleo explains that only Xisuma cares about update day. Xisuma messages again to offer wood and Cleo asks for spruce for the floors.

46:30 Cleo finishes the elevator and jumps down for more supplies. A chatter plays the Feral Ghoul sound from Fallout and startles her. Cub logs onto the server and exchanges greetings.

47:30 Cleo says there are a lot of things that need to be figured out right now, like whether a particle effect from ender chests goes through slabs. They currently have a floor that seems to consist of dark gray wool, carpets, and ender chests. Cleo takes up some of the wool and carpet and begins placing slabs over the chests. The answer appears to be “kind of.” A few particles are making their way through the wood slabs. A chatter who is the maker of the Armor Poser mod proudly announces that the mod is ready for 1.21 and hopes Cleo is excited. Cleo congratulates them and endorses the mod to Chat but says she has no input on when the Hermitcraft server will actually update. Chat notices that Cleo has not confirmed or denied base tours as a possibility. Cleo says they can see why chat might think that and continues not to confirm or deny. Xisuma drops off some spruce and flies away like the Lumber Fairy. Cleo declares that X is the best and has forgotten again what she is doing. A chatter plays Sour Jellybean.

50:40 Cleo remembers it is time to Hug a Creeper. They set spawn and fly into the air, falling from a high place. They collect up their bits while gloating about being able to legally claim sour jellybeans as a business expense. Pearl signs on to the server

51:50 Cleo responds to a chat suggestion that trapdoors might let in more particles than slabs do. They make a bunch of spruce trapdoors from some of Xisuma’s logs and place some of them down, but it’s hard to see the particles in the current testing area. Cleo begins picking up the floor to move elsewhere and mentions receiving a troubling message from Pearl in the mail. She flies down to her mailbox and shows the large quantity of mail parcels she talked about at the beginning of the stream, including one that contains a single block of purpur and requests that Hermits buy more purpur from Pearl. Cleo confesses that she doesn’t like purpur at all but feels like she should maybe buy some from Pearl anyway as she clearly seems to be suffering. Chat somerwhat incoherently tries to inform Cleo that the parcel is from Joel, who lost a bet with Pearl and was forced to advertise the Purr-Purr shop and raise sales for Pearl. Cleo eventually parses what Chat is trying to say and is no longer concerned about Pearl’s message.

55:00 Cleo goes back to picking up the trial floor from the wizard tower. Pearl writes in the in-game chat that Chat has been losing her sales since 2024. Cleo tells her that purpur is gross, but because it is Pearl selling it, they will buy some. Cleo likes the look of spruce trapdoors over ender chests and decides to buy purpur in celebration. Chat asks what time it is for Pearl. Cleo believes it’s around 6am, Pearl-time. Pearl says she has a minigame to build. Cleo tries to convince her she does not have to build minigames at 6am.

57:10 Cleo arrives at the purr-purr bus and admires the new dumpster, saying it’s a good addition. She doesn’t really understand how Iskall can hate diorite so much when purpur exists and is a much better target. They shake their head over the prices in the shop but buy a bunch of chorus fruit to make end rods, plus some end stone. According to Cleo, buying purpur-adjacent things definitely counts as supporting the shop. Pearl is grateful. Cleo says that Pearl is undercharging and pays extra for all the chorus fruit. As Cleo flies away she notes that between herself and Cub, they have most of the server’s money right now.

59:30 A chatter asks what the bottom half of the vTuber looks like. Cleo adjusts their stream position to make the entire vTuber figure visible. Chat is impressed that Cleo has legs. FalseSymmetry, in stream chat, comments “omg legs (in caps)” to circumvent the stream rule against all-caps. Cleo shows off the limited set of movements available to the full-body figure, then puts the figure back in the usual place.

1:01:00 A chatter mentions that the vtuber figure can walk and can be used to replace the default character in certain games such as Valheim. Cleo confirms that it can be used for some games, like Valorant, and she could stomp around in there as Cleo if she wanted to. She cannot use the model on VR games because it is above the poly count. It’s primarily intended for vtubing. Using it for VR would be pretty rough on game performance.

1:02:15 Someone plays the Poe Poe Siren (Skizz singing the Poe Poe song) outside Cleo’s base. It is definitely Scar, who just signed onto the server. Cleo fetches their own horns and plays Skizz’s “Dang it, Scar!” horn, then yells for Scar to come back with a warrant. They go back inside just in time for Scar to play Xisuma’s “This is Illegal!” horn.

1:03:00 Cleo realizes that this is a war. She plays Etho’s “There was some kidnapping involved” horn.

Scar retaliates with his own “Trader Scar’s not going to eat you” horn.

Cleo plays Grian’s “I’m eating a curly-whirly right now” horn.

Scar plays Impulse’s “Say it and we’ll bleep it out” horn.

Cleo plays her own “Oh no-woh, not Joe-wo” horn.

Scar plays Ren’s “I’d like to see your butt, please” horn.

1:04:10 Cleo yells to Scar that she has run out of horns and demands to know where he is. Scar flies overhead and repeats the Ren horn, followed immediately by the Michael Scott “I declare Bankruptcy” horn. Cleo giggles and declares she needs to buy more horns, then remembers she has an ace in the hole. She heads for her mailbox, finds and plays the “I see you” horn from the Horn of the Month Club.

1:05:15 False logs into the server just long enough to play her own “OMG hiiiiii” horn, then logs out. Cleo play’s Gem’s “That’s Amazing!” horn. Th3Pooka raids into the stream.

1:05:45 Cleo thanks the raiders and welcomes subs. They have once again forgotten what they are doing. Chat reminds them that they are working on flooring.

1:07:00 Someone plays a horn from The Office outside. Cleo plays the “I see you” horn, explaining that even if she doesn’t see him, she has to play the horn. She returns to working on her floors. A chatter asks what program the vTuber model was made in. Cleo does not know but points the chatter to the link for the designer, MotherLyra. Zedaph suffocates in a wall.

1:08:20 Someone plays the MGM Lion horn, startling Cleo. They follow it up with a horn (maybe Etho or xB?) saying “I chop, I dig, your mom is really big.” Cleo plays the “Dang it, Scar” horn again. Someone plays Scar’s “Take a look at how big my booty is” horn. Cleo plays Tango’s “I see you” horn again and yells to Scar that she only has limited horns . Scar, who is stream-sniping, disclaims responsibility in in-game chat, even as someone plays Iskall’s “What are you doing?” horn. Cleo guesses it must be Cub. Cleo decides it’s either Scar or Cub, or both, or Pearl, or Tango, or Xisuma. Scar asks Cub in chat where the alien horn is.

1:09:50 Cleo attempts to go back to work, while admitting that they are not trying very hard to work. A chatter asks why Cleo has so many ender chests. Cleo says it is for the particle effects, then jokes it is because they have an addiction but most people don’t comment on it. In game chat, Cub tells Scar that the alien horn should be at the shop unless someone already bought it. Cleo wants to know more about the alien horn. Outside the window, Pearl plays Scar’s booty horn again and flies away. Cleo plays the “I see you” horn again. Zedaph suffocates in a wall again.

1:11:10 Cleo bemoans her own lack of horns, while Scar suggests that the alien horn has probably been sold. A chatter plays a scary noise, but Cleo is currently immune thanks to all the horn shenanigans. They go back to work, declaring loudly that they are feeling bullied, and it is because the hermits are bullying them. It’s not just one of those feelings, it is definitely bullying. Pearl assures Cleo in chat that it is only love. Cleo replies that one can bully with love, and invites Chat to “Ask me how I know.”

1:12:10 Cleo asks Cub if he’s done the Xisuma legs horn yet. Cub says not yet, but maybe for next batch. Cleo is pleased about that possibility. They want to hear the legs horn, because it is weird. False rejoins the server. Xisuma, who has been silent for a long while, asks what about his legs in game chat.

Cleo tells him they’re very pretty. Cub explains that Xisuma made a remark that tickled Cleo. X says thanks and that he never skips leg day. Cleo chuckles and mutters “nerd”

1:13:30 Cleo confesses proudly in game chat that they always skip leg day. Scar thinks someone got the alien horn from the shop and appears uncertain about what to do. A chatter plays Xisuma’s “Legs Legs Legs LEGS!” sound, which Cleo had forgotten was an available bits-reward sound on their channel. Scar plays the “Darth Vader Breathing” horn but Cleo is distracted. A chatter asks where the Legs soundbyte is from, and Cleo tells them it’s from MCC Pride where they were on a team together. Scar plays the Michael Scott “Inside Joke” horn. Cleo greets Scar and/or Pearl, possibly both or neither, whoever is out to get her, specifically.

1:15:15 Cleo talks about MCC Pride and hopes no one was expecting them to win. Scott has not officially told Cleo that they are being added to teams as a nerf, but that it’s just generally known. Cleo’s role in MCC is “ballast.” Scar asks Pearl if she bought the Alien horn, Pearl does not know what he is talking about. Someone plays the “Hello there!” horn. Cleo runs outside yelling “Oh my god, hiiii!” but no one is there. Cleo is disappointed, and asks that whoever is blowing horns at least say who they are. Chat believes it’s definitely Scar. Cleo plays the “Dang it Scar!” horn again.

1:16:45 Zedaph falls out of the world. Xisuma describes this as Zed doing Zed things. Cleo agrees and says that’s pretty much his job. A chatter asks Cleo what is their favorite “Cleo thing” to do. They say sleeping, mostly. A chatter asks if Cleo has any information on books or info about lgbtq+ issues. Cleo says not really, they don’t read up on it much, just experience it from their own perspective. They refer the chatter back to the chat for recommendations.

1:19:00 A chatter asks why the floor only has a certain number of ender chests under it. Cleo explains that it’s going to be a summoning circle, and the ender chests are in a circle under the floor to provide particles in that exact spot. A chatter asks about using a spore blossom for more effect, but Cleo explains the range is too wide. A chatter plays sour jellybean. Another chatter plays a door noise. Cleo turns the music back on. A chatter notes that Cleo now has a convenient crawlspace under the floor. Cleo agrees, but says they did not plan it that way, because planning is for losers. She parenthetically adds that she is a loser. Zedaph blames Tango for his untimely death in in-game chat. Cleo agrees that most things are Tango’s fault.

1:21:30 A chatter asks how people are playing noises and jellybeans, Cleo explains the Streamloots program. Another chatter admits that they have read a great deal of fiction and anecdotes about the lgbtq+ experience, but not much nonfiction and nothing to really recommend. Cleo agrees that this seems pretty common, and talks about how if mainstream sources won’t provide gayness, the community will make it for themselves. A chatter plays Favorite Things, and Cleo says mostly intangible things, like the way you feel in the morning when the sun is rising and you know people you hate are suffering. She says she doesn’t understand why people think she’s so sinister all the time. She also likes petrichor.

1:23:45 Cleo begins texturing the new floor with slightly lower trapdoors in places. They talk with Chat about queerness in history and how it is difficult to know exactly what it was like in the past because so many things were different. They reorganize their inventory again and go into the mines to find a box of crystals for decoration. Cleo is too tired for in-depth discussion on these serious topics and just needs to get some crystals. A chatter puts the chat into emote-only mode, Cleo refers to that as the “Cleo says stop” button.

1:28:00 Cleo finds the geode and begins harvesting crystals. They love amethyst noises, and wants to put amethyst under carpet someplace in the build. There are not as many crystals as Cleo was hoping for, and they take some time to free up more faces on the crystal-producing blocks. “Crystals are going to become important!” she teases. She agrees with chat that amethyst needs more block variations, since it is a far nicer color than purpur. The crystal noises are very soothing.

1:31:20 Cleo says that the most annoying thing you can call a geologist is a “crystal girlie.” Chat does not understand the term. A chatter says their geologist friend doesn’t like being called a rock-licker. Cleo says rock-licker is fine and if they don’t want to be called a rock-licker they should stop licking rocks. Cleo explains that a crystal girlie is someone who believes in crystals for healing and energy alignment, rather than studying them scientifically. Chat has a discussion about eating rocks. Cleo advises that many rocks are inert and can be licked, but that one should not lick rocks instead of taking medicine. Some rocks should not be licked at all. Cleo specially advises Chat not to eat uranium and suggests (then immediately unsuggests) that they look up radium girls. ((A sad story from history of some workers who became the reason for later regulations.))

1:36:00 Cleo transforms her crystals into “charged crystals” by renaming them on an anvil, then puts them in a similarly-transformed “Lead-lined Storage Crate.” The box goes into the new tower room for decoration. A chatter plays Teeny-tiny Zombie Cleo, Cleo sings the song. Cleo looks for one of the lore books in the library room that has information about crystals. They do not find it, but find a note about crystals in a cupboard. Pearl asks in chat for verdant froglights. Joe has been buying all Etho’s stock, but Cleo has some in storage. She invites Pearl over to get some. A chatter plays spicy jellybean.

1:41:10 Pearl arrives and yells hello. Cleo provides her with several stacks of verdant froglights, even though Pearl only truly needed four. Pearl is happy for the extra froglights because she likes the green tinged light. Cleo says green-tinge is the best tinge. Pearl says that pearlescent froglights are also pretty great. Cleo says they’re not her favorite. Pearl says she’ll let that slide because Cleo has been so generous and flies away. Cleo blesses Pearl’s little cotton socks and calls her adorable.

1:42:30 A chatter says that Pearl was their first introduction to Hermitcraft. Cleo says that is valid but also unusual, Pearl is not one of the more common vectors into Hermitcraft. A chatter plays Giant. The first chatter explains that they started watching in S8 with Pearl and Gem and their friends. Cleo is happy about how the community has grown. They also can’t wait for the new paintings. Cleo creates a painting to cover the secret door, but does not particularly like the only design that covers the space.

1:45:00 Cleo declares it’s time to clean up the roof, because it looks like arse. Pretty arse, but arse. They are not worried about structural integrity because magic, but some crossbeams would look nice. Cleo says that sometimes it is hard to explain their thought process while building because sometimes there is no thought, just building. They begin adding crossbeams to the interior roof and talking about building process or the lack thereof.

1:49:40 A chatter asks if Cleo has a favorite fan song. Cleo says no, they have not heard many and generally try to keep their research in a bubble. A chatter plays sour jellybean. Cleo says she will watch most Hermit stuff, but the fan stuff can be biting. She wants to keep just a little sliver of joy in her life. She goes on to clarify that “I’ve got two diamonds” and other songs written just for her are exceptions, but fan stuff can be mean in general and she avoids it. A chatter mentions that Doc talks about fanfiction on stream all the time. Cleo says Doc is insane. They don’t need to worry about what Doc is doing, because it is always THE WRONG THING. Chat is not happy about the idea of anyone being mean to Cleo. Cleo clarifies that in fan spaces, fans tend to assume she will not be there, and they tend to speak their minds bluntly. When they’re talking about the character, it’s just opinion, but when they talk about her as a person, it’s hard to deal with. Cleo does not fault the fans, it is a difference of perception between Cleo as the person and Cleo as the character. What they are doing is not harmful in itself, but Cleo seeing it is harmful because it makes her feel bad and she has learned to avoid it. At the same time, 99.9% of the fandom is lovely.

1:55:20 A chatter says their partner is trying to watch every hermit, but doing so during Decked out in S9 got pretty tiring. Cleo does not recommend trying to watch every Hermit because that is too much and too difficult. They realize that many people like other hermits more than they like them, and they’re okay with that. They will never be everyone’s favorite and that is fine. Pearl, in in-game chat, agrees that Hermitcraft is fantastic because of its wide variety of creator styles. Cleo has a hard time finding her saplings and wonders if they might be in the orphan-crushing machine. Chat is confused about the orphan-crushing machine, which appears to be a bonemeal farm. A chatter plays Hydration Time.

1:58:00 Cleo reiterates that they avoid fan spaces and explains that fans sometimes just say rude things on the internet. She can know that a take is bad (“Cleo doesn’t deserve to be on Hermitcraft’) but that doesn’t mean it won’t sting. Pearl chimes in with a story about a Tiktok she saw where all the comments were kind except the ones about her. Cleo is instantly sympathetic and assures Pearl she is wonderful while threatening the lives of the haters. Tango alerts the server to potential lag incoming. Cleo says she doesn’t mind living and letting live with people who are mean to her, but nobody can say bad things about Pearl. Pearl says that most of the community is wonderful and she’s just getting used to living with the bad part. Cleo asks for advice about how to do that, because she has been on Hermitcraft for nine seasons and it is still hard. Cleo talks about the fine line between not feeding the trolls and not clapping back when it would be better to do so. A chatter plays Favorite Things. Cleo says it’s the mail system, because they had nine messages today and it was cool.

2:03:00 Pearl messages that when she starts feeling bad about fan negativity, she reminds herself that she shouldn’t care about the opinion of anybody she wouldn’t be willing to take advice from. It is silly to let the words of the haters have any impact. Cleo agrees that this is valid. They would not listen to those people’s advice, and would also probably say something very nasty to them. A chatter plays gross jellybean, much to Cleo’s chagrin. A chatter plays Giant Zombie. The jellybean is bubblegum, but Cleo would’ve actually preferred the mouthwash alternative. Bubble gum is a bad flavor.

2:05:50 Cleo wonders sometimes if she goes a bit too far, and mentions she might have been a bit too enthusiastic in verbal sparring with Doc. They reiterate the information about their TCG cards and the new expansion. The crossbeams are almost finished, and Cleo adds some above the windows. A chatter says they would not want to make Cleo mad, and Cleo confesses their bark is much worse than their bite. She also does fake anger a lot, because it is funny. When Doc killed the pig, she did get a bit too into the bit, but it was okay in the end. Doc shouldn’t have killed the pig! It’s okay, Cleo says, because he’ll suffer. A chatter asks what an HHH stream is. Cleo explains it is Hermits Helping Hermits and they haven’t done one for awhile because they and Joe are both busy. Cleo thinks she may have frightened Doc just a little bit and laughs about it.

2:10:10 A chatter plays Cleowo. Cleo says she doesn’t think Doc’s scared of her, more that he felt sort of guilty when the pig thing turned out bigger than he intended it to be. A chatter suggests that Doc didn’t realize Cleo was serious when they said they were attached to the pig. Cleo agrees that’s exactly what happened. Cleo has finished one building and has another one started, but they need to decide what is going to go inside on each floor. She takes a tour through the building. A chat plays emote only mode.

2:13:20 Cleo says it’s about time to call it a stream. They switch to big Vtuber mode and thank the chat for subs and donos. They insist that nobody sends them anymore firstborn children because they already have too many of them. Cleo raids into a non-hermit friend and ends the stream.

[mysteriousmoss]

It’s a normal day in the offices. Actors getting ready for shooting stuff, the Hermitcraft Recap going over previous week stuff, MCNN scrambling to get ready for next life season, Bdubs doing his daily Etho worshipping, etc.

But it all changes when a MCNN prop worker, Anachronistic Cat, comes in and just stares at a pile of paper and photos.

“He has a shrine.” They say which catches some people’s attention for a second.

“Who has a shrine?” Patho asks as it walks in with one of its siblings.

“Bdubs. It’s behind the vending machines.”

Silence fills the room as the three remaining people in the room process this.

“What.”

“I don’t think it’s a joke anymore. He worships Etho like he’s a god.”

More silence before the sound of Logos choking on their coffee is heard as it clicks.

“That’s what it was?! It’s Bdubs?! He’s the one who made it?!!?” Logos says surprised and now concerned.

Actor au shit based on last night in a server.

[astronomodome]

Hey I know you left your zedaph in the house and left said house but when you get back I’d appreciate some help- you see, my “mother” (a fic writer) has a zedaph of her own who keeps trying to escape containment. The thing is, this can’t happen because it doesn’t fit with the storyline. We (me, “mother”, my “siblings” (fic readers)) have tried every suggestion (except for giving him a tango and an impulse because it doesn’t fit the storyline), and he keeps escaping! We don’t want to lock him in a bedrock box because that would be rude and he’d find a way to escape anyways, but we’re running out of options. Our mother has determined that our zedaph needs spoilers to remain contained, which mother says he can get from watching hermitcraft recap (fic is currently in the season 3 world, so our zedaph could watch recap and see into the future, therefore getting spoilers), BUT she also says recap crew would either keep our zedaph in containment OR break him out depending on what our zedaph plans to do once he’s escaped the house. So we don’t want to take that risk. Any suggestions?

one solution that always works for me is to keep him occupied! zedcats love contraptions! any kind of cat toy that he can mess around with will hold his interest for a while! A content zedcat will never leave his hole house!

This week on Hermitcat-

[ID: A Hermitcraft Recap thumbnail with the logo at the top and "week 42" below it. The background is yellow with a pink domino mask over it. On top of the mask are 2 cartoonishly red cat heads, meant to depict Evil Xisuma. They are looking slightly up to gaze upon the logo. /end ID]

@evil-xisapril day 26: Recap!

[syn4k]

You poor soul why'd you ask me of this :) Also do not know if you wanted multiple in 1. On one hand killing more terfs, on the other hand flooding you with my bs Pix at the end of E1 (his) became a copper statue. He was entirely conscious and he waited and waited watching as the Rapture happened and he was not saved. He gets saved sometime before E2 by recap crew

Hermitcraft recap cats, I have more detailed under a tag of the name but basically the hc recap become cats in the vicinity of hermits so Pix in empires constantly a catboy. This is just fluffy goodness (.....unless)

Pix with abandonment issues (see first thing) and being super scared of being left behind (it freaks him out that he’s a ghost)

Hermitcraft and Empires go to war Pix plays divorcee child mark violence

An empires member gets turned into an animal and no matter how fluffy it is angst? Maybe

Less a fic idea more so a head canon you all could work with, Pix can sleep wherever at whatever time. Abysmal sleep schedule but he can be found sleeping on walls and in trees whenever he needs the sleep

Oli trapped in Goblands but more angst?? Why not

Empires 1 Pix meets Empires 2 Pix shenagians ensue by that nerding out and existential dread

Pix on his exile arc (season 1) but more angst (Xornoth, general pain, anxiety, religious trauma, the list goes on)

this is great please send them all in individually

[toucansfull]

My friend Carrot and I once did a “trivia hunt” contest - looking for the weirdest, most obscure fun facts about the server and members as possible.

So these aren’t necessarily backstory facts, but here’s tons of Hermit fun facts I know. I can provide sources for like 99% of these if I try.

Below the cut because there is a LOT.

There’s an official Hermitcraft theme song

Jono, who makes music for some hermits (including about ALL of Grian’s timelapse music) is Ren’s brother

“Xisuma” is Music with an x instead of a c and an a at the end (Music -> Musix -> Amusix -> Xisuma)

X is ripped

X has dyspraxia

X and Joe are the only hermits to have part of season 1 and never gone inactive - they’ve never Not been hermits, ever.

We all know X counts his episodes by total instead of by season but he actually skipped Episode 404 because of Error 404 Webpage not found

Etho had a block made in his honour in an April Fool’s update called the Etho Slab

There’s a solid chance Etho has never paid for Minecraft ever (he seemingly has no cam account and got MC before it cost money)

Scar was a really good swimmer when he was younger and was notably good at the butterfly

Doc is the current oldest hermit (45)

All Team STAR skins were references to Team Fortess 2 characters

Scar’s cat, Jellie, was named Jellie after she tried to maul hospital jello

Ren was born in the same city as J.R.R. Tolkien

Cub is from Chicago and “Cubfan” is a reference to the Cubs baseball team.

Grian has a biology degree

Scar’s skin and Youtube profile picture is Indiana Jones. His PFP was made by ZloyXP, the Hermit Recap writer.

Scar’s an artist and not only owns multiple art books that he consults for ideas, not only draws all his builds beforehand, but is a really skilled oil painter.

Bdubs is also an artist and is stellar. 

Scar’s “default” build is a tree.

Scar’s IGN is GoodTIMEWithScar instead of GoodTIMESWithScar because of the 9-character limit in Minecraft gamertags. He says this is because his channel is multiple games = multiple good times but Minecraft is one game so it’s only one good time. His cam account - despite being only 8 characters where he could’ve had the s is “BadTimeWithScar” and was called “RocketRodRyan” until 2017 (Ryan being Scar’s real name).

Similarly, Grian’s cam account, TwoMuchGrian, was originally “The_Grifter”. This can be seen in earlier seasons.

Scar’s Mayoral skin was the mayor from the Power Puff Girls. Scar does not know what the power puff girls is.

Grian has anxiety & panic attacks and mentions it sometimes on his instagram.

also grians cat pearl looks like a MUPPET

Grian once handwrote, signed, stamped, and wax-sealed a letter to deliver to Iskall’s real life house to invite him to join the Architechs.

There’s a fan term called The Grian Effect where hermits get spikes in their subcounts after collaborating with Grian.

There’s a several year old clip out there of Grian calling Jimmy a gorgeous and handsome man. Legend says he never complimented Jimmy ever again

In Last Life, Scar would be an evil little swindling scallywag and then edit those scenes out of his own videos. You’d only know the screwed up things he was doing if you watched other peoples’ videos. This is my favorite fact.

As mentioned, Xisuma started YouTube because he was inspired by Etho. He also looked up to Doc.

Season 8 was canonically a simulation.

Mumbo holds shift with his thumb (tbf I also do)

Impulse plays with an inverted mouse

Cleo was a teacher

Mumbo’s got a dog named Kubo. The Daily Mail newspaper used a photo of Kubo, among other dogs from Google, in an article talking about brushing dogs.. without his permission.

Ren is left-handed (my friend Carrot says that Mumbo, Jevin, and Imp are all left-handed as well, and Keralis “plays left-handed but I don’t know if he actually is”. I can’t confirm this.)

Bdubs dyed his hair blue once.

“BdoubleO” is a play on his last name (Booko). He worked as a contractor at Booko Brothers Inc. before doing YouTube full time.

Mumbo is allergic to oranges

Mumbo’s real name is Oliver “Oli” BROTHERHOOD. What a last name. In my mind the real reason he didn’t come back in time for the crossover is because having two Olis would be too confusing. He had a build called the Olicopter once as well. Similarly, Grian’s last name is Batchelor. This is ironic, because Grian is married.

Mumbo and Doc are tied for tallest hermits, both 6′5. Grian is tied for shortest with Cleo, both 5′6. Also, allegedly Scar is 6′0 standing??

James Charles is a fan of Mumbo. Pewdiepie once plugged Mumbo for Mayor and it got spammed hard and became like a genuine problem for a bit. 

iirc Scar lives in fucking WASHINGTON

At the same time that Scar had to take a short hiatus because of his health, Jellie became sick and almost died. They recovered at the same time, because they are the real soulmates

All weird hats and items (like Scar’s ears, hardhat, and top hat, or Zedaph’s trophies) in Hermitcraft are actually carved pumpkins.

Scar HATES snakes.

He has two older brothers and we see at least one in an IRL Minecon video.

Famous Birthdays thinks Scar is 40. Nobody knows his real age, but he laughed at this.

Grian’s original name was “Gria”. It was taken on Minecraft, so he added an N. Apparently he still uses Gria when Grian is taken (according to Carrot). 

Also, Grian never actually used the name Xelqua. Nobody’s ever called him Xelqua. It was a placeholder name when he made his YouTube account.

Grian’s name on YouTube got changed to “Sun” for like a day and then changed back. Nobody knows why. Grian does mean sun in some languages, to be fair.

Grian’s cat Maui was a contestant in the Minecraft Cat Poll that Jellie won.

Grian’s favorite color is brown (source: Carrot. Carrot did say that he added on that he doesn’t like picking a favorite because someone will get peeved)

Scar’s is orange, Xisuma’s is “blorange” (blue and orange). Zedaph’s is red, Etho’s is green. Impulse’s is purple. Doc’s is green. Beef’s is blue.

People originally started drawing Zedaph more prominently with sheep features because people kept confusing blonde haired Zed with blonde haired Grian when G first joined.

Tango likes to play hockey and taught his wife how to play as well.

Tango and his wife have been married for 18 years. They met on an online dating website made in 2000 called Eharmony.

Joe had a DND series on YouTube, as well as one about writing Hermitcraft fanfiction. The TSD in his YouTube handle is a reference to an old DND group he was in, Team Snow Day.

Xisuma made VanillaTweaks (which is the modpack the server uses, including features like Silenced nametags, miniblocks, player and mob heads, singleplayer sleep, etc). It’s actually avaliable to the public and you can customize it with features both included in and not included in HC.

Cleo used to write Final Fantasy fanfiction.

Scar’s first ~500 videos were recorded on a Macbook.

Joe’s favorite book is Hitchhiker’s Guide. Also, he owns two pillows with his face on them.

Etho and Cub have the same birthday. So do Grian and Fwhip.

If Bdubs could have any superpower, he’d want Mind Control.

On Mindcrack, Bdubs had the nickname Boo (b double o)

False was Sheriff of hermitcraft once and then got jailed for corruption.

Apparently Etho has the nickname “Ladders” because he always had them on him and preferred them to stairs.

Ren has a degree in journalism and BA in English Literature and can knit.

Bdubs’ red headband in some skins is the HEX code b00100. this is a reference to himself.

Grian did his honeymoon before he and his wife actually got married (iirc because Covid)

After an MCC, Grian bought a lordship title in the UK. He is offically Lord Grian Dreamslayer, after he killed Dream in the tournament.

Tango used to play clarinet. Also, Zedaph almost got arrested by 6 armed police officers and a helicopter while recording a video with a prop gun.

Joe has a degree in US History

Doc killed Dinnerbone in UHC and then Dinnerbone took his arm to nerf him and there was a bug fix mentioned in a snapshot that said “Remove ‘docm77’ mob as it is not working as intended”. This is the origin of Doc’s cyborg arm.

Pungence (a former hermit and Bdubs’ brother) originally went by “AssyrianAssassin”. His Minecraft skin matches Bdubs’ original.

Speaking of, Bdubs’ face was not always :D. It used to be :|, then Etho wished for him to get bigger eyes and a bigger smile. The world has never been the same.

Impulse used to have an eyebrow piercing

Hypno named Hermitcraft

Cub ran into Etho in real life at random once, in a store in Canada. He only recognized that it was Etho by his voice.

The Minecraft part of the Stanley Parable was inspired by Hermitcraft.

Tango technically joined Hermitcraft in Season 2.. because Mumbo couldn’t figure out his iron farm design and asked for him to be whitelisted just to help him. He was blacklisted right after.

Etho used to work in a family owned greenhouse business.

Season 1 had to be reset two separate times.

At some point (as in, YEARS AGO) Grian said his favorite pokemon was Dewgong.

Before HC, Scar, Cub, Wels, Ren, Iskall, Python, and Stress were on a server called Kingdomcraft.

etho likes mini wheats

Doc has degrees in electrical engineering, social science, and political science. He also has a PhD in dementia research.

ok so since it's just occurred to me that the fandom is constantly growing and changing and learning, there's some bits of hermit backstory that I know that others might not. hermitfacts coming up:

the server was built as an equal mix of builders and redstoners (and then Joe Hills was added as a WILDCARD to shake things up)

season two only happened because Joe Hills ran a coup

tango is the father of the iron farm, before 1.14 made iron farms easy, your best bet was to ask tango. tango also modded villagers before the villager update

etho invented the etho hopper clock, revolutionised the minecraft let's play, and inspired a lot of the server to play/film

impulse is the guy behind the item sorter, and he is a master of villager manipulation, with his villager breeder being in massive use

bdubs' brother, pungence, joined hermitcraft before he did and played for season one

iskall is behind the vault hunters mod and it's really cool and you should check it out

the way cub built concorp inspired Mojang to update the way villagers work

doc is friends with the Mojang game Devs (even if they took his arm)

Hypno runs the hermitcraft website, even when he's not active on the server

Welsknight came in to defend the others in a rap battle when he was away from the server

Stress runs a fitness channel alongside her Minecraft channel and being a parent

Joe hills used to have a webcomic and do drawing streams - he saw twitch be born, and will likely see twitch die

Scar got his start in call of duty

Joe Hills thought hermitcraft was a scam when he was invited

add your own!

[apollo-the-story-teller]

Hermitcraft recap but instead of gods they're cats

It's not a big ol au thing or anything but you can't tell me it's not cute crack

Zloy and Cleo Zloy: Clawing at Cleo's armorstand clothes Cleo: Oi little shit! scoops him and tosses him out Zloy: Unholy cat yells

Pix shows up when people find emerald ores and just stares at them pathetically till they give them to him Pix can smell emerald ore and can smell if someone broke one All cats can be assholes and he's left many fish in the homes of certain hermits Pix at looking poor poor Grian who didn't know he liked emerald ore in the eyes as he destroys at least 5 fish on his bed

Ly meows a lot, often in time to actual hermits If a hermit makes Ly mad she will sing the song of her people and by Notch is she good at it

[bolt-x0]

WOO YEAH THIS YEARS RECAP OF MY ART

[mcyt-cats]

Zlob and Red! My favourite streaming duo

This is a very flattering photo of Red, as you can see lol. Also, can we get an o7 for the recap boys? They've got a lot of epsiode ones to recap after today!

[daydreaminglifelesslove]

i mean im reminded (and checked the video to remember right) of him joining and being turned into a proper hermit of hermitopia after he invited scar to be the first to try after the other spooked him by the Join! machine he made in his season 9 episode 27/called hermitopia and him at the very end of the video exclaiming to himself and the audience on how sad but true the smushed smallness trait he made for the hermits who joined hermitopia was more to his in real life height. (which, it’s implied but he’s short) and how much he hates how in game the effect/mod it looks so wrong in f5. also i guess because he’s a chaos gremlin, pesky bird, creechur, who fools everyone by being a cute ‘smol’ person (or just two big long black lines for eyes, a simple cozy enough red sweater/jumper, waffle hair, can remind u of bread, seeing irl him with his cats) who is so compacted with so much unrelenting energy he flies everywhere like a bird and gets into places that intrigue him. maybe some extremely old perceptions and kept views too with all the coming years knowledge we have now on what season 6 (or more&in gen viewers who came from evo, after it was finished) grian was like. new and probably to himself in over his head and intimidated and overwhelmed and maybe a little shy. <- has started his season 6 playlist awhile ago, never seen it in full, watched like a good ten episodes with a estranged friend and stopped watching at least 6 partly because of it. knows a lot about it from the grapevine. and ig watching all videos of hermitcraft recap season 6-9 a year ago because me not having time to watch all 30+-min episodes and getting a fun summary from pixl and zloy. i know I’m sending this late and if I write the one i said in tags got deleted it will be late too but i wanted to say this and possibly w/e else because i couldn’t stop myself otherwise. got into a explaining long wordy defensive ‘apologist’ brainrot spiral over…my main guy who entertains me? idk explaining and defending and arguing can be fun or just the right or wrong idk switch of i can’t think of anything else to do but maybe do it if i can with trying to be kind and careful. idk.

anyway felt like writing something and reblogging it, late or not. it is pretty harmless accepted or liked or is a fine by most grian enjoyers headcanon. or sorta truth. i mean i usually don’t see him at all that short, I guess because i curated my space and don’t mind it. I do like the idea of parrot or allay or bee or baby chicken grian just existing. or being a devil on your shoulder. idk it’s part of his vibe tho there are people who make him buff (cause he can be quite strong, would be in character and irl) and tol enough. height differences are also nice, lanky tol mumbo and smol or short grian. etc etc. i mean because i hope and think and maybe know op understands my feelings and to bring them as examples, the dynamic and height differences of tol lanky etho and short bdubs, adding tol scar or taller than bdubs but shorter than scar cubfan or really any hermit taller than bdubs who tangles themselves into his magnetic charming sometimes cute when angy or flustered. Etc. yeah. Done for now very tired. My inbox, dms, reblogs, comments always open.

Also adding to all ypur anti-grianfanbase posts, everyone makes him uwu short---- like its SO ANNOYING. He's always about 2'1 and too uwu short to do anything

honestly this one is just harmless headcanon to me i agree that i dont really know WHY the general consensus seems to be that hes short but also thinking about him being too small to reach shelves makes me laugh

[voidmenace]

love how this weeks hermitcraft recap thumbnail looks like they’ve just squirted cub with a spray bottle like one would a naughty cat

[raisans-art]

Imagine the warriors version of that one tommyinnit video with Mumbo and Grian happening, Tommy and Jack are younger strays/kittypets and use a lot of terminology that they don't understand and just fuck around while Grian and Mumbo try to get shit done. Scott is somewhat familiar with colonys around humans and clans that avoid them so he's a bit of a mediator

I’ll be honest, I only watched 5 minutes of that video got very uncomfortable with it very quickly

In general I’m keeping outside mcyters to a minimum based on interaction. The life series gang? Yeah they play with a lot of the hermits and interact often so they get their own cat designs. Hermitcraft recap gang? Hell yes. I love the ideas I made for them in this au. Dsmp members like Wilbur and Tommy? Not gonna include them here. They’ve interacted very minimally with only one or two hermits.Adopted hermits like Pete? Maybe a passerby mention but also not really included in the au. At most the detached mcyters that don’t have a lot of interaction with the hermits will have a passing mention. Like with the empires gang(sans Joel, Lizzie, pix, and Jimmy)
