wait im confused what is this kerilson lore you mentioned im apprently missing out on? Who/what is kerilson??
ok i'm gonna recap literally everything i can remember about kerilson because i'm not sure how much context you have. SO. INCOMING INFODUMP:
if you've been following the rest of hermitcraft season 9 you'd know that the majority of the active hermits went through the rift and got trapped on empires smp for a month. one of the only hermits left behind was xb, and he handled this... interestingly (badly)
so after showing footage of the hermits going through the rift via a security camera he apparently has set up in grians base, and then trying to claim the entire shopping district as his property (off to a good start) he opens his next episode proudly declaring that he's actually NOT alone, he has a friend, and that friend knows how to open the rift again!
enter kerilson:
i should clarify that kerilson is, first and foremost, a reference to the movie castaway. like. in that movie the protagonist is stuck on an island with nobody to talk to but a volleyball he's named wilson. so theres already precedent for kerilson being just xb going kind of stir crazy without his friends (especially keralis).
so according to xb, kerilson demands a diamond throne (which also includes concrete slabs, the first sign that something weird is going on) and then they reopen the rift. except the rift sends xb to previous hermitcraft seasons instead of empires, where kerilson is distracted by wanting to look at past keralis builds instead of helping xb find his friends. eventually xb DOES end up on empires, but its season 1, and he's completely alone.
he wanders through the server, finds the ocean, spends several days at sea, gets picked up by a flying kerilson themed boat, the scenery warps back into his base, he gets back into bed, and then is woken up by beef, who seems disturbed by the fact xb is even IN bed. bc, y'know, hermitcraft, sleep should be instant.
he concludes the whole thing was a dream, tho that doesnt explain how he's able to accurately dream of empires s1, but gem's empires lore establishes sleep based world hopping so...... put a pin in that.
anyways two episodes later kerilson can be spotted watching xb in the background of his base, but isnt acknoweldged. xb continues to be Totally Normal about his missing friends by building a giant keralis statue, except every time he looks back at it its head is replaced with kerilsons head. so he blows it up.
several months pass with v few kerilson hints, until xb starts teasing a makeship plushie of him and kerilson. in this weirdest way possible. ie. while building his base he mentions he's started hearing noises, and a low joepacity kerilson flashes on screen with scrambled keralis dialog in the background. (side note: xb heard similarly scrambled keralis dialog when keralis was coming back through the rift. unclear if this is related.)
aaand bringing it to now, xb gets a book inviting him to a TCG match, which turns out to be against kerilson. who is apparently real and able to hold TCG matches. except during the animation of the match kerilson never moves and keralis is shown to be helping him behind the scenes, implying kerilson was just an armor stand all along-- except for, you know, the whole established dream demon aspect.
and now he's a marketable plushie! :D
so yeah TLDR: he's an armor stand who has been simultaniously implied to be a figment of xb's imagination, a regular armor stand xb thinks is alive, a regular armor stand controlled by keralis, some kind of fragment of keralis, and an independent, dream controlling being. and also keralis has little to no involvement in any of these episodes.
and as a fun side note, this isnt the first time we've seen some kind of logic defying facsimile of keralis appear in somebody elses episode. when tango went to space to try and stop the moon crashing in season 8, he ran into keralis, who stated he'd been there for months, even tho this is not true in keralis' episodes.
both of these are also scenarios where the enviroment is implied to not be real (a dream / a simulation) and the keralis-a-like appears to help them as they try to leave the server. coincidence? absolutely. but i love to make lore out of nothing!
#asks#long post#listen if the ranchers fans can make a mountain out of tangos feris bueler reference. then im allowed to be insane about xbs castaway ref /

For the new theme!
Cleo has had the definition of a rough life she was the failed experiment of a mad scientist, she was feared by almost everyone in her home server and she has to drink special potions unless she wants to burn in the sun. But that all changed when she got to the hermitcraft server where everyone treated her like a regular person it…it felt great not having to always be on guard not having to look over her shoulder every two seconds. She felt safe…but that wasn’t always the case.
Sometimes she gets nightmares bad ones that make her remember the early days of her existence. Which always involved lightning she could never forget it being brought back to life in such a painful way from the scars that line her back to how sometimes the occasional spark would jump between her snake hair. It terrifies her to the point whenever it begins to rain she will immediately hide under something or anyone if their tall enough and that’s fine she can’t look weak if she looks weak the bad people will come for her she needs to be strong.
Now Grian, Mumbo and Gem aren’t the smartest cookies in the tin but they know a panic attack when they see one. And when a bad lightning storm happened on the server where Cleo got struck by lightning and didn’t die and then immediately lashed out against everyone trying to help her running away to her base they knew something was up. So they went over and tried to enter her base with little success until Grian smashed open a window. They’ll fix it later. And found Cleo in her basement curled in a ball crying her snakes wrapped around her hissing at anything that came close. But regardless they were gonna help their Gorgon out. And it took many many attempts for Mumbo to pick Cleo up good thing he’s a iron golem hybrid otherwise those snake fangs would go right through his skin and they’ve seen how nasty the venom from those snakes can be. Poor poor Scott during double life.
After they got Cleo to her bed and managed to make her fall asleep they passed out along with her. When she woke up she saw herself surrounded by Gem, Grian, and Mumbo all wrapped protectively around her as the lightning storm was going on she started to cry again. Which promptly woke the other three up causing them to tell her it’s ok the storm couldn’t hurt her stroking her hair getting her potions for the day ready. Gem magicing up some rainproof clothes for her. Grian helping Mumbo make lightning rods for her base. And throughout the day they did her chores as they sat her down on the porch and just let her watch the rain.
Maybe…maybe it was ok to be weak once in awhile.
The thing is, they'd never call Cleo weak. Cleo is many things, but weak isn't one of them. She's scared, and she doesn't like to accept help. But everybody needs help sometimes! Throughout the day, as they take breaks, they share their own stories of similar situations. Ideas gone wrong, memories from growing up, pranks that sometimes (literally) blew up in their faces. It's grounded, sitting and listening to them talk with a warm drink in Cleo's hands.
And, sure, it doesn't eliminate the fear instantly. None of them expected it to! It's why Mumbo and Grian try to figure out a way to predict the weather, until Gem points out she has a spell for that. That way they can let Cleo know in advance if a storm is expected - and they can come and bother her! Cleo will huff and roll her eyes, but... Yeah, she finds it hard to mind being bothered by them.

WINWIN WIN OK so ill start off -- im not a hardcore evil x fan !! but i do love my boy !! all of this is gonna be from memory and i havent watched evil x lore in like over a year but
i dont think we really know how evil x came around? he just kinda showed up one day in season 2 or maybe 3? and what just being a nuesance more or less blowing things up
xisuma eventually bans evil x on s4 until his ep 666 (sometime in s5) . during this time it turns out ! evil x has been running around hes actually had a voice in his head which iirc is jeff the minon
during his time being banned, evil x was able to . idr . defeat jeff? get past him? pooka has a really good fan animation imo of this here !!!
a lot of people hc that after s4 when everyone changed seasons, xisuma forgot to keep evil x’s ban so thats how we see him in s5+, OR some people headcanon that xisuma felt bad and silently unbanned his twin after the world hop !!!
now im not really caught up to date with later stuff (cough s8 cough) . but i think we dont really see him much between s5 (which is xisumavoids hermitcraft 666 video) . we see him once during what i want to say is s7? which is xisumavoid video called “his very own episode” which is very funny iirc. then yeah s8 happens with his . bitcoin ??? then he had just fucked off but yeah !!
this is your sign to rant about evil xisuma
You know what? I've had it. I'm breaking. I'm gonna say it.
Someone explain to me the entirety of Evil Xisuma's lore. And throw in helsknight if you want. Or recommend a fic with that premise? Please. I just. I just want to know Everything so that I can write about it. /Not forced but like. If you've been looking for a chance to rant about evil x and/or helsknight, this is your chance!! Go wildd!! Just! Absolutely beserk!! Explain everything!! Add headcanons!! Give me theories! And fanon stuff! For extra credit, include all these things but dont tell me whats canon and whats not. Watch me suffer (/half joking lmao)
I want to know more about evil x and stuff. But i also have negative amounts of motivation to watch so many hermitcraft episodes. So if you want to rant about evil x? Go for it my friend. If you dont then thats fine! ^_^ Watch, i'm gonna ask and then get told that evil x fans have been living off of lore scraps for years and there's barely any content lmao.
Yeah dont take this seriously! Even a quick synopsis would be greatly appreciated! Love yall!!
#adude.noots#oops became a bit mentally ill#also i think a bunch of people hc as evil x as xisuma's hels but iirc hels straight up#said at one point that evil x is NOT xisuma's hels#and iirc hels is thrown in a lot cause of a scene in s8 where the met IN hels dimension and they were sitting and chatting together at a tab#table*

yo! i watch hermitcraft and i'd be glad to explain some stuff to you!
hermitcraft is an smp that's around a decade old and they're just beginning season 8. unlike dsmp it isn't very lore/roleplay heavy, so you can literally just start with season 8 and not have a problem. i never watched seasons 1-4 but it doesn't matter because all the seasons are stand-alone and the world is reset after each is finished.
You might have heard of a few of the hermits before (mumbo jumbo is a pretty famous redstoner, grian, false, rendog and cubfan were in mcc, and grian is a well known builder, etc) and they're all from the old age of mcyt. rather than streaming, content is recorded in 20-30 minute videos and uploaded onto youtube.
the hermits are mainly builders or redstoners. throughout the season each hermit works on a project, or ''base'', which are bloody incredible by the end of the season, i encourage you to look up images of hermitcraft bases they're beautiful.
They also work on things like minigames and the shopping district (hermitcraft has a working economy) and regularly collaborate with each other, especially in later seasons. The hermits also like to prank each other occasionally, but it's always good humoured
sometimes roleplaying develops naturally, like in the turf war of season 7 when Grian jokingly placed some mycelium down claiming it was the "mycelium resistance" and GoodTimesWithScar built a mini mycelium removal team, and it spiralled from their with hermits either secretly joining the mycelium resistance or proclaiming their support for team grass. despite all this, it was never taken very seriously and was more of a continuous background story they dipped into occasionally.
(If you really like roleplay, several of the hermits arranged and participated in 3rd Life, a separate miniseries were everyone has 3 lives and on your last life you can attack players. it's roughly 8 episodes long and has a lot of roleplay especially from Rendog and InTheLittleWood's POVs)
each hermit's videos have a different vibe (Grian's are usually light-hearted chaos, Joe Hills' are chill and laid back, Rendog's have the most roleplay, etc) so jump around POVs if you're not a fan of the one you're on.
Of todays episodes (everyone started season 8 at the same time), i recommend Grian's video, Joe Hills video or ZombieCleo's video.
There's a handy youtube channel called Hermitcraft Recap, two non-hermits condense a weeks worth of videos into a half hour recap of everyone's progress and shenanigans which is really handy if you feel you're behind.
I'm so sorry i infodumped all this in your ask box, someone else can probably explain more concisely but yeah. Hermitcraft is a place of beautiful builds, impressive redstone and merry chaos.
anon. anon i love you
goddamn ok so theres no crabs (slightly disappointing) but like??? thank you sm??? i looked up builds and yeah they look amazing!! thanks for the infodump tho very much enjoyed it!! im gonna start watching it for sure now lmao
<33
#hermitcraft#no crabs as it turns out#still v cool tho#also anon??? i love you#ur the best <33#if i knew who you were i would send you flowers#like you sent me an infodump about a minecraft smp????#i think this is what love at first sight feels like#this might be overdramatic#but like. cmon#im p sure ur my second anon ever#and u answered my questions#about minecraft#i dont. i dont know.#i cant explain it but anyways anon i love you and i hope you never step in a wet spot when ur wearing socks <33#is this what it feels like to have a popular blog with a lotta asks?? because i like this#ok gonna watch hermitcraft later

“Xisuma, the economy is going to collapse.”
X looked up from what he was building and saw BDubs, hands on his hips, staring at him, with Ren standing just behind him. “I- Pardon?”
“The economy is going to collapse due to the diamond pillar competition.”
Xisuma blinked, trying to wrap his mind around whatever it was BDubs was trying to get at. “I… am aware. I suppose.”
“Because all the hermits have so many diamonds, inflation will occur. The value of one diamond will lower. Meaning that those who didn’t compete will not have enough to purchase anything.”
It was daybreak. BDubs had just skipped the night. And Xisuma had been pulling a few all nighters, working on code and drafting plans for what he wanted to do later in the season. He was tired. “Ok. Why are you bringing it up now?”
This time, Ren stepped forward and spoke. “We have an idea on how to fix it, but we wanted to run it by you before bringing it to the other hermits.”
X sighed and sat down, with Ren and BDubs following. “Alright. Go ahead.”
BDubs beamed, and Ren sat up a bit straighter. “So. I propose a reset.”
“I’m not taking away everyone’s diamonds, Ren.”
“No, no, no. Not as in they loose all their diamonds. Just, shush and let me explain dude.” Xisuma took off his helmet and rubbed his eyes, but didn’t say anything so Ren kept going. “We take their diamonds, all of them except for 64. They can keep a stack, and we allow them to get them back through quests!”
——————
When Ren was done explaining, it was approaching noon. “That all sounds fine to me,” Xisuma said, putting his helmet back on. “I mean, be reasonable with payment for the quests.”
“We will be!” BDubs said. “Don’t worry!”
“I just… are you sure about this? King of Hermitcraft, that’s quite a title. And quite a bit of responsibility that would go with it.”
Ren reached over and patted Xisuma on the shoulder. “Listen, man. You’re the admin. We aren’t trying to overpower you, or undermine your authority. If we do something you don’t like, or if you think we’re going to far, tell us and we’ll stop. No questions asked.” He smiled. “But don’t you deserve a break? I mean, you’re still the one working on the code, but let us handle the social aspect. At least for the season. You can have a bit more of a break, ok?”
Xisuma looked from Ren, to BDubs, back to Ren. “Last time, you guys sure?”
“Yes.” Ren and BDubs answered simultaneously.
He sighed, then smiled. “If you can get a unanimous vote from all the hermits that will be participating in this “reset”, I won’t bother you.”
“Yes!” BDubs cheered, then fist bumped Ren, jumping up. “Come on, man. We have some building to do! And I have to go order a crown for you!”
Ren stood, then helped Xisuma up. “Thanks man.”
“What, you think I’m gonna stop you? As long as everyone’s ok with it, it’s fine.”
Ren flashed X a smile, then pulled him into a quick hug.
“I’ll see you later then, bye!”
And then they were off, flying away with their elytra. Xisuma watched them fly off, then turned back to his building and continued. This would be… interesting. Especially to see how different hermits reacted. Particularly hermits who had a reputation for not liking authority figures.

This is my subtle propagandizing of “y’all should go watch Cleo’s ghost hunters streams”. Seriously, any Hermitcraft fan that’s been enjoying her very subtle bits of dirty jokes that she’s left in will love this because there is zero subtly and she dials it up to like an 11. Particularly the one stream she does with Corpse and Cam together because the both of them just completely suck out her soul and make her lose her goddamn mind just by existing in proximity and it is glorious. Like—
—
Cleo: I got Cam and I got Corpse together and I thought “they’ll get on”. Yeah they do.
Cam and Corpse: *frog crouching towards her while carrying various useless objects*
Cleo: Go!
—
Cleo: Cam won’t scream. Cam will make me scream. Because that’s what he does. And not in a good way.
*Corpse giggling in the background*
—
Cam: are you aware your bandana has like a weird— weird seam in the back. I just feel like you should know this.
Cleo: *deep sigh* why did I invite you?
Corpse: you sure it’s a bandana? Cause it’s got a little—
Cam: Look at it from the front though! It’s a bandana.
Corpse: Yeah, but then it’s got a flap at the back.
Cam: Yeah. Which— I don’t think that flap is supposed to be there. I think that’s a texturing flaw.
Corpse: Well wether it’s meant to be there or not it is. So. Besides! It’s got— who has— having eyelets on a bandana—
Cam (staring at Cleo’s ass): How’d you get those pants on?! I just realized how— like I know skinny jeans, but those— wow! Those are impressive.
Cleo: could you stop commenting on my—
Cam: No!
Corpse (staring at Cleo’s ass): I can see why you need to have the knee pouches and all that if you’ve got trousers that tight. I mean, where you gonna put stuff?
Cleo: …I’m out. I’m out. Screw you guys, I’m out.
—
Corpse (picking up holy water): Oh! We can throw the jizz jar!
Cleo (oWo voice): Yeah! The jizz jar!!
—
Cleo: Oh, let’s go to the cemetery! It’s my favourite!
Corpse: Yeah! It’s got the penis skull!
Cam: Yeah, I was gonna say. You just like the giant penis.
Cleo: …I mean, so would you.
Corpse: …Fair.
Cam: Fair.
Cleo: Ok, umm—
Corpse: Hey Cam. Cam. Are you talking about the graveyard or your relationship?
Cam: Both.
Cleo (whispering): Oh fuck…
Corpse: Penis.
Cam: *giggling*
—
Cam: Spirit, will you go out with me??
Cleo: Rude.
Cam (giggling): I mean you haunt me on the daily, I figured we could share.
—
Also like—
•Cleo saying fuck during the tutorial and her going “PG13 rules, I can only say it once” and then her immediately screaming it like 10 minutes later
•Cleo censoring herself from saying Shit by screaming FUCK instead
•The fact the Cleo’s favourite insult appears to be “Cock Womble”
•Corpse immediately taking pictures of her ass
•Every time they bring up the jiggle physics
•Them having full on conversations about the nipples on Corpse’s character. Conversations plural.
•Corpse and Cam being cheeky whenever they die and just start stealing everything from the house
•Cleo trying to exorcise one of the ghosts and just screaming “WHERE ARE YOU YOU JANKY BITCH”
•Anytime one of them brings out the radio box and asks “Do you wanna build a snowman?”
•Seriously any combination of the 3 of them together is just pure gold

...you have opened my eyes to a vast universe of VintageBeef lore that I was unaware of. I knew about the New Hermit Order, of course, and the UHC invention, and I've watched a few of his CTM things but -- I will take all the info and lore you feel like giving out because Beef is amazing and my knowledge is so small.
Vintagebeef my beloved <3
So the thing is, right, until about 2016 I only watched two (2) youtubers- Vintagebeef for Minecraft and aDrive for Pokemon (and funnily enough both of them are named Dan irl). So I've watched most of Beef's videos over the years and have a general knowledge of most of his stuff, except because it's been like a decade I don't remember where most of the lore comes from XD
The thing with him is that he doesn't do Lore tm the way other mcyters often do lore- he doesn't have an extensive RP series to draw from like Grian, doesn't have a solo world with steadily increasing amounts of lore like Etho or Zisteau, and while he's played on SMPs and been involved in storylines before it's not really the focus of his episodes unlike with Evo or Legacy or Empires
So where does that leave us?
IRL, Beef always has multiple series running at the same time. Often he's playing on an smp while doing a singleplayer, often modded, series as well as a CTM or modpack with a group of friends. For example, right now he's playing on Hermitcraft, doing weekly Pixelmon and Building a Zoo episodes, and a CTM map with Slip. And to me, this translates to one thing: Beef is an adventurer. He travels frequently- he explores a world and when he decides he's done, he leaves for the next one. That's the basis of my personal interpretation of his series and his character for my writing.
Ok so reading this back, this got extremely long and didn't explain much in the way of lore, somehow? If anyone has any additions to add please do so, I am very definitely leaving out a lot and would love to see what other lore people remember and are using for Beef! I didn’t include the Hermitcraft stuff since my memory of season 4 is blurry (his base was themed after the Martian, that much I know, and he and Iskall were buddies :D) and most of the s5 NHO lore is best watched from Bdub’s perspective from what I remember, and the only s6 stuff is a single line in Hermitgang and then the Area 77 arc with its possibility of an NHO reunion which we did not get rip. And s7 of course had the cloning machine and also the Podzol Party as the main lore. So all the original rambling is still below the cut though it is very long, and I'm gonna bullet point the main stuff here instead:
Actual canonical things:
Invented UHC and was the only survivor of the first ever uhc (Mindcrack UHC s1)
Married to an ender dragon (one of the UHCs I think), later father to a different dragon (Mindcrack season 3? I think?)
Might not have legs if you choose to take that joke as canon (Mindcrack s2)
Was a wizard (RAD)
is a zookeeper (Building a Zoo)
Had a wife and kids (Sims in Minecraft)
Part of the Trial of the B Team court case (Mindcrack)
NHO founder, founder of the Podzol Party (Hermitcraft)
Created a cloning machine that sort of works (Hermitcraft)
Played the Forest which is I believe the first time he and Keralis played together (look up the trigger warnings for this one, it's a horror game)
Was the creator/owner of Sourceblock SMP (featuring some familiar faces if you know Legacy, Empires, or MCC) and there is literal magic from a mysterious sourceblock of water that teleports people and summons mobs and probably more stuff that I haven't seen yet since I'm still watching it myself
Things you can infer:
Good with animals (Life in the Woods, Pixelmon, Ark)
Is a car nerd (irl and all of the car games he's played)
Is a highly experienced adventurer who has traveled through dozens of worlds both vanilla and modded, across multiple dimensions (Twilight Forest, the Aether, the Betweenlands, Limbo), completed dozens of monuments, fought in blood sports, survived apocalypse after apocalypse, tamed dinosaurs, and played a lot of prop hunt and golf with your friends
If you're looking for what to watch for lore purposes, I'd say the Mindcrack UHCs and Team Canada's RAD series are pretty good, definitely Sourceblock and HC s5, plus the Diversity CTM maps and Ruins of the Mindcrackers maybe? And Mindcrack Prank Wars for the chaos and the origin of Team Canada. And if you can handle horror than the Forest is fun and if you don't do horror you can watch the Pojkband play golf or prop hunt they're hilarious I love them sm I want a Pojkband reunion So Bad
Beef's first series was a singleplayer series in beta 1.4_01 though he had played the game extensively before that, and was a big fan of Guude, having watched his own Minecraft videos. The series was functionally a hardcore one where if he died Beef would delete the world and start again! I haven't actually Watched this series so idk if he died or how often lmao. When Guude made Mindcrack, which was btw one of the very first Minecraft SMPs, he also hosted a competition for people to join, and Beef submitted a video (which is still viewable on his channel I believe!) and won, and was added to Mindcrack in season 2 :D (fun fact, Guude said that even if Beef hadn’t won he would have added him anyway)
Two running jokes emerged from Mindcrack- pulling a Vintagebeef and Beef doesn't have legs. The first is a reference to Beef dying of fall damage (I believe the exact instance was him trying to jump into his swimming pool and failing spectacularly) and after the incident, every time someone died of fall damage they were pulling a Vintagebeef. The second joke comes from Guude, who joked that the reason Beef wasn't going to a convention was because he didn't have legs, and then he pranked Beef's base by building a giant pair of legs at the entrance to his castle so you had to walk between them to get into the base. This joke has long since died and both Beef and Guude feel pretty bad about it iirc because there were people who genuinely thought Beef was disabled and were emailing him supportive messages and stuff oops. So if you go looking on the Salad or find old Mindcrack fics, you might see references to Beef having prosthetic legs!
Mindcrack also brought about the creation of several Player groups- Team Nancy Drew, Team Canada, and GOB to name a few relevant to Beef. Team Nancy Drew consists of Beef, Pauseunpause, Guude, and Baj, who formed to investigate a prank on one of the members but I forget who. They're named Nancy Drew after the detective! Team Canada also formed in retaliation to pranks, with it consisting of Beef, Etho, and Pause, the three Canadian members on the server (not including Adlington who moved to Canada but never joined the group). There was also a Team America who pranked them with American flags everywhere. GOB is Guude, OMGChad, and Beef, who played stuff like the Ragecraft, Pantheon, and Monstrosity ctms together but that's way down the line lol
Team Nancy Drew is also notable for inventing UHC. It was Beef's brainchild but it was the four of them who first played it! The first UHC had the four of them working to kill the dragon with no natural regen, with everyone dying but Beef, who "won" the UHC. The second uhc was still dragon focused and iirc is where Beef married the dragon? Memories are hazy but they do kill the dragon in this one I think. UHC was then revamped as a pvp event and became a regular Mindcrack game every few months, featuring most of the Mindcrackers and several special guests, including Dinnerbone, who as we know Thanos-snapped Doc's arm out of existence as a result of Doc killing him in one of them
In one of the seasons of Mindcrack, Beef invited swedish Mindcracker and good friend Anderzel to go caving with him and invented ABBA Rules caving, where the winner takes it all. ABBA Rules is a game where each ore (and also dungeon loot like nametags) is assigned a point value and the person with the most points at the end wins and gets to keep all the stuff collected from the game.
In Mindcrack season 3?, Beef punched the ender dragon in an... awkward area, so when the dragon died and left the egg behind, Guude said Beef was the father of the egg XD I don't remember if I watched s3 so I have no idea if anything Happened with this concept but *history of the world voice* you could make lore out of this!
So Team Canada has played a Lot of CTM maps (which fun fact were pretty much invented by another Mindcrack member, Vechs, with his Super Hostile series! Super Hostile has a bunch of things called "Zistonian", which are references to another Mindcrack member Zisteau, who has a very wild singleplayer series with even wilder lore but I digress). In Ruins of the Mindcrackers, they had a running joke that Beef was Etho and Pause's mom, which is a joke we can leave in the past actually /lh. They also played all the Diversity maps, Sky Factory, Terra Restore, Uncharted Territory uhhh and a couple more ctms and adventure maps! Each map kinda has its own story so in Diversity 3 for example they were trapped in a simulation? I think? Team Canada also recently played the Roguelike Adventures and Dungeons modpack, aka RAD, in which Beef was a wizard with a magic staff that could do anything from summon lightning to control hostile mobs.
Sourceblock SMP is a vanilla survival 1.14 series that ran for one season and the series starts with each of the Players being drawn to a strange sparkling water source that, once they touch it, brings them to the Sourceblock world. It also summons a giant zombie at one point. There's probably more lore for this series but like I said I haven't watched it all the way through yet
He has a Patreon server called VintageCraft and has done a series or two on there as well, and played a few UHCs with them, so lore that how you will!
Beef also played a few popular mods, notably Pixelmon, Life in the Woods, and Feed the Beast, with LitW being singleplayer and the other multiplayer. He's also recently played the Zoo and Wild Animals mod a lot. He did a short series with the Minecraft Comes Alive mod where he married one of the villagers and had two children, so that's canon now :D he’s played a Lot of Pixelmon starting when the mod first came out iirc (he chose Turtwig in his first series and built a Grass gym, then made a Normal gym in another series in uhh 2016) and he still plays to this day. Quite a few Hermits played on his Pixelmon servers with him, like Wels, Etho, Iskall, Stress, Slip, Zueljin, and also Guude and Phedran (a Mindcrack adjacent player and creator of the LitW modpack) and a few Mindcrackers on the older servers
Mindcrack and friends played a lot of other games too- 7 Days to Die, Ark Survival Evolved, Unturned, to name a few, so you can pull a lot of lore out of these as well. Speaking of friends and non-Minecraft games, Beef teamed up with Pause, Keralis, and Slip (a former Hermit) to play the horror game the Forest, which saw them stuck on an island trying to survive against terrifying mutated human... things. They played it a few times as the game updated but as afaik it's the first time Beef played with Keralis and possibly Slip and since the game starts with the Player's airplane crashing, that could totally be how Beef first met them in-universe
I... think? that’s everything I mentioned in the tags? There is probably way more stuff I’ve forgotten that stems from inside jokes and things that happen within each series, but I hope that was a) helpful and b) at least somewhat comprehensible lmao

A Halloween night! Bloody Code Au (Part 1)
Ok, this is crossposted (i really hope im using it right) to my wattpad, but there its a songfic to Victorious by Panic! at the Disco, but i removed that here, because i liked it alot. also this is a cliff hanger that i will update to add the link to the second one later. Also some bad language, booze and blood and vomit. not graphic or anything, just wanted to mention!
Part 1/ Part 2
Grian smiled. Halloween was always one of his favorite holidays, since it was excuse to cause trouble, and a halloween party at a night club was definitely going to be fun. The costume He and Scar chose was also very fun. While most might have just bought something, they had two advantages over everyone else, 1) Demise ment they had the best ghost costumes, with little to no make up, only using it to bright colour to scar tissue, which is why the pair were grayscale while walking down the road, and 2)Vex and Fairy, enough said.
And so Grian and Scar walked down the road toward the club. Grian had brought his vex mask, while Scar had made sure to have small stash of regen potions incase someone over did it on the drinks.
“SCAR GRIAN!” Rens familiar voice called out from down the road. Grian began to run closer, Scar on his heels.
“HI REN!” Grian yelled. Ren was dressed up a stereotypical wolf man, though he only had the wolf ears,tail and clawed gloves.
“Ready Scar?” Ren asked, jumping up and down slightly.
“You know it!” Scar smiled, “Cub already inside right?”
“Yup!” Ren cocked his head to the side. “What are you guys dressed up as?”
Grian smirked.
“Were Dead!” Scar giggled
“OH!” ren seemed to notice the grey skin, the X-ed out eyes, and the scars. The outline of grains skeleton was highlighted, and scars lips and hands were a pale yellow-green.
“Well, lets go!” grian said, his impatience beginning to show.
“Yeah!” Ren smiled and began to pull the pair to the entrance.
The club was bright, loud, and chaotic, in a very different way than Hermitcraft, and Scar wasn’t sure how to feel about it. Grian seemed to enjoy the loud music and immediately went off to the dance floor after seeing Iskall, who was dressed up as a mad scientist.
Scar met up with cub, who was dressed up as a vampire, and got a comfortable seat close enough to the bar and the dancefloor, but wasn’t two crazy.
Things were fine at first. None of the group really drank too hard, and Scar even went out to dance with grian for a while. And then the coughing started.
It was only a small cough at first, occasional and something he could ignore. And then he coughed something up. A very familiar taste, the taste that ended his Demise run. He grabbed a napkin and spit it out, the pale yellow color staining the paper.
Grian was in a similar boat. The scars from the blast always itched slightly, even when he was alive, but at some point in the night, the scars began to inch and ache like crazy. It wasn’t until he rubbed one of the markings and his hand came away bloody that he realise something might be wrong.
Scar ended up in the bathroom, Grian at his side, Coughing and retching up poison and blood while Grian slowly dripped blood from his arms and legs.
“Feeling better?” Grian asked, rubbing his boyfriends back.
“A little.” Scar smiled, pulling back from the toilet “has the bleeding slowed any?”
“Yeah, its done I think.” Grian giggled, “Could you imagine if someone saw us?”
“In the same bathroom stall? Or coughing up blood and poison?”
“Yes.”
“Grian that makes no sense!” Scar laughed,
“Ready to head back out?” Grian smiled, wiping the blood from his hands off on toilet paper.
“Yeah,” Scar smiled. “I think so!”
Grian and Scar slid out of the stall, right into a very confused Ren standing in the doorway.
“REN!” Grian blushed
“Uuhhh how long have you been standing there?” Scar asked, blushing under the grey.
“Long enough to know you two were in the same stall, but not long enough to know why!” Ren said, followed by an awkward laugh.
“Really nothings happening.” grian began to spitball. “Its all fine. Nothings happening. Everything's FINE.” Scar facepalmed.
“We’ll explain later.” Scar smiled, “But not right now.”
“I guess thats fair my dudes.” ren smiled.
“Im just gonna,leave.” Grian carefully moved past ren, and entered back onto the dance floor.
Grian almost didn't notice the man dressed up as the grim reaper among the sea of costumes, but the reaper certainly noticed him. When grian got a drink, the man watched from a corner of the dance floor. When grian joined up with iskall on the Dancefloor, the man watched from the corner of grian’s eye.
“YOU!” he shouted, his voice gravely, as if he had been decomposing.
“Me?” Grian felt his face go warm.
The man stepped closer, and drew a scythe from his long tattered cloak. He growled, “You…”
Grian was finally able to get a good look at him.
“Grimdog?” grains stomach flip flopped over and over again.
“Hehe” He nervously chuckled as the reaper apoached, flipping the sythe expertly around, so that the point was up, and placed it to Grian’s neck. “No hard feelings, remember ol’ buddy?”
The reaper growled.
Grimdog removed the point from Grian throat, before giving it a hefty swing into grian’s torso area. Grian lept back, the bone blade only landing a light scratch across Grian’s chest.
“Ok, got it, hard feelings.” grian joked, before pulling his mask off its chain. “If its a fight you want Grimdog,” Grian smiled, placing the mask on his face. “Then its a fight you’ll get.” Grian shouted voice took on an echoy quality,like many hims speaking at once.
Across the club, Scar, Cub, Iskall and Ren hear this, though only one recognised Grian’s voice.
“Oh no…” Scar murmured into his drink, non alcoholic as usual.
“Has someone already started a fight?” Iskall swirled his glass while he leaned back in his chair.
“Sounds like it.” cub smiled, slightly buzzed, “Wonder whats it over.”
“Somthin dumb probably.” Ren said. “Scar are you ok? You look nervous.”
“IIIIIII, recognise that voice…” Scar said, nervously drawing out his words. “And if im right….”
“...WE should probably leave the building.”
“What?” Iskall sat up in his seat properly. “Why?”
“Cause if he’s any sort of involved with a fight…” Scar blushed as Grian-vex cackled along with the clang of bone and metal. People began to rush towards the exits “Shits about to hit the fan.”
The table stared for a moment, suddenly serious.
“Welp.” Cub stood up, putting on his cheep vampire cape, “Scar swore, The sky is Green, Grass is blue, and i'm getting the hell out of dodge.”
“Ditto.”
“Right behind ya.”
The four only got a few blocks down the road when the sound of bricks exploding echoed through the streets.
“SCATTER!” Scar screamed, Cub and Iskall began running down alleys as Ren and Scar continued running the main streets.
“OH COME ON GRIM!” the voice laughed. “I thought you’d be better at using that thing!”
“really?” scar muttered, “taunt the reaper huh?”
“Is this guy really brave or really stupid?”
Scar rolled his eyes. “Both.”
“Oof”
The fight had made it to the pair, and scar pulled ren into an alleyway. Giving ren the first view of this mysterious man.
The man’s skin was a pale grey-blue color. His dark hair had many curls were supernaturally sharp, a look that didn't sit right with Ren. His eyes and mouth didn't help. Both were glowing white-blue, his eyes eerily pupiless and his mouth filled with sharp teeth, pulled into a frustrated and menacing smile. Behind him, a pair of white wings glowed, and in his hand, a loosely held an axe.
The Reaper, if he even was human, was worse though. His eyes were pitch black, and everything about was salow and decayed, like he had just risen from the grave. He was covered with a swirling cloak, and carried a large scythe that appeared to be the jaw bone of some large animal.
Ren looked up at Scar. Scar watched the battle with an nervous air. The pair were stuck. Ren didn’t know who to hope for. The Reaper with the Scythe or the Spirit with an Axe.
“I-swear-if-i-die-dressed-as-the-world-most-effort-put-into-bad-halloween-costume-i'm-going-to-haunt-someone.” he whispered, semi-serious.
The reaper and Spirt help up their weapons and charged at each other.

ohhhhh boy okay uh! Only Wonder by frederic slaps, and I use Ship In A Bottle by fin whenever I need to drown stuff out. The only YouTube series I’ve really been following lately has been hermitcraft (specifically mumbojumbo) but I understand if you’re hesitant to get involved with mcyt content again.
The only other music that really comes to mind…. Boy it’s probably gonna make it pretty easy for you to guess who I am, but a lot of the gintama op’s and ed’s slap. My personal favourites are opening 9, opening 13, opening 14, opening 20, and opening 21, although of course a couple of the later ones include series spoilers if you plan on watching the videos.
uhm, as for the endings,,, ending 2, ending 8, ending 17, ending 21 and then endings 25-30 all slap. There’s also Yorinuki Gintama-San, which are new openings/endings they did for reruns. they’re all good :)
Ok so ive been sitting on this ask for a few days while I go through all the music recs I got. I have played ship in a bottle on loop for nearly 2 hours. That slaps. Honestly I love how you hear the ukulele throughout every moment of the song? Like idk ive always liked that instrument and even tho it's not super prominent at certain points it is very nice for it to be backing support as well :) I think it adds a little charm to it!
Also yeah I just kinda avoid the mcyt fandom for the most part but I do watch some hardcore series still! Might try hermitcraft at some point but I really dont have much time to watch series or anything, rip. I'm probably only on YouTube like twice per week lmao
Also! I listened to like half of the gintama ops and eds you listed, still have some to try out but I figured I'd release this ask into the wild since ive been holding it captive for a while anyway. Lots of those go really hard. Like damn ok I saved a few to my 'bops' playlist ngl

BFDI Done In Hermitcraft: Chapter 1: The Plank P1
(This is also on Wattpad if that’s your thing)
"I know, she was so scared over nothing! The bee wasn't even that big, and False was freaking out!"
"Really, Iskall?"
"Really, and yet she calls herself a badass."
"She is in a way, do you remember when she asked Bdubs if she was beautiful?"
Flashback to a week ago
"Bdubs, am I beautiful?"
"Umm, sorry, but no-"
*proceeds to get yeeted to the sun*
End of flashback
"Right, I remember that, and I still hate her!" Bdubs jumped into Grian and Iskall's conversation about how False was a complete asshole. She was so rotten, even Joe hated her, and that was very unusual for him to think of people.
"I swear, I'm gonna get revenge on her! I am honsetly so glad you guys are my friends, really!" Even though they didn't really know eachother, (almost) everyone was friends on the Hermitcraft island.
"You're my friend too, right, Mumbo?" Bdubs said as he grabbed Mumbo and started squeezing him with no mercy.
"Bdubs, stop!" Grian and Iskall yelled before there was a sickening crunch and their communicators buzzed with a death message.
*MumboJumbo was suffocated*
"Sorry about that," Bdubs said, clearly embarrassed at what happened. Mumbo eventually respawned in one of those respawn generators, only to get almost killed by Jevin pointing a sword at his chest.
"Hey! I just respawned!" Mumbo said, exasperated.
"Hey, don't blame me! Blame the stupid Tango here, it's his fault!" Jevin said as he kicked Tango in the face, making him let go as he flew into the ocean.
"Fine! I'll grab Cleo instead," Tango said before grabbing Cleo out of nowhere and yeeting her to Mumbo, which was a very close dodge.
"Yikes!" Mumbo said. She was also conveniently holding a sword, so it was a pretty close call. "What was that for!?" Mumbo asked.
"What? I'm just in the mood to hurt someone," Tango replied. He then found Keralis, which he kicked with absolutely no mercy. Keralis screamed his ass off as he flew, conveniently passing by Wels. He then landed on the ground face first in shallow water where Stress was doing something.
"Keralis! What are you doing there? There's a life to enjoy, so enjoy it!" Stress said in her cheering state. Keralis had a liking for TFC for some reason, so went to him and starting acting all lovingly. A little bit too lovingly, because TFC kicked him into the air as well.
"TFC, calm down," Joe said with papa bear mode set to low. "Kicking him that hard can have permanent side effects. He IS light-weight," Joe lectured as Keralis continued flying in the air once again and as he flew past Wels, not much happened, why am I mentioning this? Anyways, he eventually fell because of the laws of physics, and he fell right onto Zedaph, and as he got up, he noticed... blood. I think you can guess what happened from there. The scream was so loud it could be heard all over the island.
"Keralis is such a scaredy-cat," Cub complained. "He's so annoying. Scar, though, you're cool," Cub said to his friend and partner-in-crime-I mean, partner-in-business.
"So are you, Cub!" Scar complimented back. Meanwhile, Wels was still flying before crashing into a mountain at low speeds, so he didn't take too much damage from the crash. The weird thing though, was that Zedaph was just sitting there as if he took a nap with his eyes open. Wels shouldn't have been surprised, though, since he always acted as if he was on LSD.
"Zedaph! Wake up!" Wels shook Zedaph awake.
"What? Hi, Wels!" Zedaph said as he was jolted awake. Wels sighed before yeeting Zedaph behind him (seriously, why are the hermits constantly yeeting each other around?). Zedaph flew along, all in a excitement that you only feel when you're high until he fell onto Joe, barely surviving.
"Oh, hi Joe, my good old friend!" Zedaph greeted Joe tiredly and before passing out from his injuries. Meanwhile, Doc and Ren were sitting near Impulse with an angry glare. They still couldn't get over the whole Area 77 thing, so here we are.
"Ren! You're an absolute idiot!" Doc yelled at Ren. He did not get the reaction he was expecting though, because Ren's response was to slap him.
"Hey!" Doc yelled, surprised.
"Oh my god, your face feels so good to slap!" Ren said. He was not acting like himself today. He then went on a slapping spree. He was about to continue when Xisuma caught him in the act.
"Doc! Ren! Stop fighting!" Xisuma yelled at the two. "And Impulse, take a bath, you stink," X commented at Impulse who was just watching.
"Sorry," Impulse said.
"Isn't X bossy?" Tango asked Cub, who were both watching the scene.
"I know! He's like a bossy bot!" Cub tried to make a joke, but all he got were stares from Scar, Tango and Wels.
"Uh, you know, a bossy robot?" Cub tried to explain the joke which only got more awkward stares.
"Um, here's the thing; a robot that was built to be at it's bossiest," Cub tried to explain further which didn't help one bit, but everyone got tired of staring at him and decided to stare at the now setting sun. "I'd do anything to get away from him," Cub said. "Or False, or Keralis, or Impulse," then conveniently and suspiciously in time, out of some mysterious smoke, some kind of... creature? Came out of the smoke
"Well then, you're in luck!" The thing said, and it was obvious it was female. It seemed to be some kind of dragon hybrid, Ender Dragon maybe? And had a crop top with decked out armor on the bottom. She also had some kid of belt with fabric that would cover her private if she didn't already have pants on.
"Uh, how?" Cub asked. The girl who seemed to be in her 20
"They're creating the server of paradise, everyone," She continued. "It's called Dream Island. It's one square mile (2.5 kilometers for all you people outside of the US) of luxury. It has a 5 star hotel, a casino, six restaurants, robot servants, and the server's whitelisted, so the winner gets to chose who's allowed in, and who's not!" She described trying to sound all excited too hard.
"Ok, what does it cost?" Cub asked. If he couldn't pay it entirely, he might borrow some of his best friend's diamonds because that's what friends do! /s
"Not even a penny," The woman responded.
"Sounds like a deal! Me and my friend'll take it!" Cub answered excitedly.
"But what about about the rest of the people here? Don't they want it too?" The mysterious being asked.
"Well, I wouldn't give up that server for anything," Cub answered.
"Everyone here's thinking the same thing," she responded. "So you know what that means. We must settle this with a reality TV show- I mean, a contest."
Cue the intro
"So yeah," the mysterious woman who still hasn't given her name yet said, "whoever stays on this plank the longest wins."
"Go."
"Let's help each other," Stress said. She wouldn't let this contest affect her! Or at least she hoped so.
"Yeah!" Jevin agreed.
"Tango, wake up! What are you doing?" Ren asked Tango, who was clearly asleep for some reason.
"Uh oh!" Impulse said as he slipped off the bar, to which no one noticed.
"Get out of my way!" False said as she was pushing people into the pool of water underneath the plank with her sword. "I need my space!"
"Help me, Jevin!" Stress said as she was falling and close to becoming another one of False's victims. Being made of slime was pretty convenient in this situation though, as he was able to stretch and easily save her from the cold, murky waters of failure.
"Thanks!" Stress said.
"Let's form an alliance!" Mumbo said to the Architect team who all agreed with him, but it unfortunately fell over unwanted ears, as Bdubs heard over from the other side of the plank and was interested now.
"Did I hear an alliance is being formed? I've gotta join!" Bdubs said as rushed over, pushing Scar off the plank on the way.
"Can I be part-" was all Bdubs was able to say before they were all falling into the ocean.
"No." was the only thing Iskall said before they all fell into the water and had Dream Island out of their reach. While all of this was happening, Ren was still trying to wake up Tango.
"Tango, wake up!" Ren said while shaking him before he accidentally put him down too close to the plank and he started to fall. "Oops," but just then, Tango woke up and walked back up on the plank, pushing Ren off in the process.
"Ren! Don't ever-" Tango said before he realized what he just did. "Whoops,"
Final 6!
"Look, there's the evil False," Stress said to Jevin as she pointed at False. "She's still in,"
"Let's run her over!" Jevin suggested to False.
"Yeah!" She said, excitedly. This was only a harmless joke, she was gonna apologize later!
"Uh oh," Tango thought out loud as they started trampling over. The plan didn't work, however, and the two got kicked into the air by False.
"Hey, we're flying!" Jevin realized.
"You're right! Woohoo!" Stress confirmed, completely forgetting that what comes up, must come down.
"Uh-oh," Jevin remembered as they almost fell off the plank with TFC, but Stress managed to get a grip.
"Pull up," Jevin commanded Stress.
"I... can't!" Stress realized, getting ready for their fate. "Oh no! Tango? Zedaph? Help!" Stress cried for help. Eventually, Tango stepped on her hand, preventing it from falling any further.
"What is it?!" Tango asked, annoyed.
"You're stepping on my hand." Stress mentioned as Tango got off her foot.
"There, better now?" Tango asked.
"Yes, now pull us up." Stress said, but as Tango tried to pull the three up, he fell over and only had his feet on the plank now, the only part that still had a chance of getting the invite to Dream Island.
"Hold onto my other arm, TFC," Stress told him, who complied. Then the hugest dick on the planet towered over them as she started laughing in that cartoon villain sort of way.
"Ha, ha! I'm wearing non-slip shoes, so boo-hoo you weirdos!" False mocked them in her usual annoying way when Tango came up with an idea and kicked her over with one of his feet, but False grabbed onto Jevin to his extreme dislike before he came up with the idea to... lick her?
"Aaah, AAAHHH!" False screamed as she instinctively pulled away, but she instantly realized was a big mistake when she starting falling, falling, and eventually into failure.
"Nice work, Jevin! A job well done!" Stress complimented Jevin's great idea.
"TFC, let's swing!" Jevin said as they swinged back onto the plank, completely forgetting about Tango and Stress.
"Jevin, alliance, remember?" Stress reminded Jevin, who pulled Stress back up onto the plank.
"Stress! You're stepping on me!" Tango said.
"What?" Stress said before Tango fell. "Oops,"
Final 4!
TFC was the first to think and the quickest, as he pushed the unsuspecting Zedaph into the water, who seemed to be having another acid trip. He pushed a little too far, though, as he also fell into the dark, cold water. Now it was just Jevin and Stress left in the battle.
"Rock, paper, scissors!" They said in coordination. Stress chose paper, while Jevin chose scissors.
"Scissors beats paper, so I get to push you off!" Jevin announced, which surprised Stress.
"Wait, what!? I never agreed to that!" Stress said.
"Ok, here's the thing: when I win, I'll invite you to Dream Island." Jevin said, trying to make a deal with Stress.
"This still isn't fair, Jevin," Stress confronted him.
"Only one of us can will, after all," Jevin said while holding up
his middle finger instead of his pointer.
"Jevin, wrong finger." Stress reminded him.
"Whoops," Jevin said with an awkward chuckle. "But my point still stands."
"And that's where you're wrong," the mysterious woman popped out from a cloud of smoke once again. "You two both win!"
"We both get the invite?" Jevin asked.
"Not quite, you two actually get to choose teams for a more longer, larger competition for the invite to Dream Island."

Easter chickens
Eggs, hidden all over the garden. It was night so no one would see the freakish children that played there, they ran around the garden looking for the eggs with the biggest smiles. Poult floated around using his wings to speed himself up as he searched, Grian tried that but fell on his face most of the time. It was ok, he'd get better at flying soon. In the meanwhile the duo ran around laughing and giggling, collecting as much eggs as they could while the maids watched to make sure no one saw them. Poult won the competition but Grian didn't mind, his brother always shared his chocolate. He was good like that.
So the two sat on the grass, eating their chocolate as the sun rose. Little did they know that a mere year later they'd be sitting on the roof of kings cross doing the same thing but with fabreshe eggs instead. But for now they had no worries in their minds as the maids ushered them inside as the day began.
---------
Grian had been bugging his brother all month, Poult had been getting to know the hermits a little more since Christmas, hanging out with stress a lot. Grian had had an idea, he wanted to have an easter egg hunt, just like when they were small. But Poult was busy right now, he was hanging out with Stress. Grian didn't know what they did together but Poult didn't normally like the cold so why did he enjoy hanging out with the servers ice queen so much? Grian was sat in the snow waiting for his brother to exit the fortress, the blood from the cut on his arm turned some of the snow pink. He should really put a bandage on that, he'd do that later.
When Poult left the building it was clear that Stress had done his face up with makeup, why else would he have shiny gold lips and orange eyelids? Grian jamp up and went to grab his brothers arm. "Hey Poult! You know what we should do?" Poult looked at him and shrugged, fixing Grian hair for him. "I don't know but I think we need to focus on the fact that you're bleeding." He picked his twin up, much to Grians protest. He flew off back to the base, holding Grian close to his chest.
When they got back, Poult began to dig through the first aid kit. "Now what was it you wanted to say then Gri-gri?" Grian chuckled as his brother bandaged his arm, he fiddled with the strings of his hoodie. "I think we should organise an easter egg hunt, like we did when we were small. The rest of the server could play too...oh! And we should totally have it at midnight just like the good old days!" He giggled but stopped when he looked down and saw that Poult wasn't even smiling. "Those days weren't good Grian, we were just too young to notice what was going on. You were always especially oblivious, even when we were on the street you kept being overbearingly oblivious to everything. We can't do an easter egg hunt, I refuse to give anyone more reasons to mock us." He fished with the bandage and patted Grians arm, standing up and turning to walk away. Grian reached out an arm to grab his brother shirt but Poult was gone before he could react. "Poult wait...I'm sorry..."
Grian sighed and looked down at the floor, Poult was right. Grian couldn't go five minutes without fucking something up because he just doesn't understand it. He stood up and flew over to work on Sahara to get rid of his negative feelings, unfortunately both Iskall and Mumbo were there. They saw Grian placing blocks without his normal enthusiasm, shaking as he did so. They quickly approached him and Iskall took the blocks away from him as Mumbo lead him to a chair, they realised that he'd been crying and shared a concerned look. Mumbo spoke softly to him, holding Grians shoulders so he'd stop shaking. "What's wrong Grian? Can you tell us what happened?"
Grian nodded slowly, wiping away his tears. "I'm... I just...I upset Poult..." Mumbo nodded slowly and asked why, handing Grian the cub of tea that Iskall had just made. Grian took the tea and stared into it, ashamed. "I reminded him...of back when we were kids...he got angry..." Mumbo and Iskall shared another concerned glance, this time curious about what sort of past the twins actually had and why they'd have different opinions on it. "Why did it make him uncomfortable but not you? You don't have to answer if you don't want to." Grian shook his head, sighed. "He said that I'm too oblivious and shouldn't even have any good memories of our childhood because the only reason I do is because in too oblivious to notice what was really going on..." He whimpered and Mumbo pulled him into a hug, letting Grian cry into his shoulder. Iskall rubbed the blondes back gently, giving Mumbo another concerned gaze. "Is there anything we could do to make you feel any better?" Grian looked up at them, slowly nodded. "Well...I wanted to do an easter egg hunt like me and Poult did when we were small." His face lit up a little when both his friend imediently nodded at him with smiled. "Sure!" "Well I don't see why not."
Grian leaped out of his chair with a chuckle, he grinned at the duo and grabbed some eggs. "This is gonna be so fun!" He brought the eggs over to a table he set up and then ran to grab paints and brushes. He called the other hermits over and set up more hermits for them, when they arrived he sat them down with some eggs and paint. He climbed on the nearest platform, the top of the A monument and coughed to get their attention. "Hello everyone and thank you for coming to the serverwide easter egg hunt sponsored by Sahara." He winked at Iskall and Mumbo as he said this, they chuckle and nod in response. He goes back to his speech with a huge grin. "For the first portion of the event you will be split into two group, one will paint normal chicken eggs while the others will paint the chocolate eggs with edible paint. You will be supplied complementary drinks and hot crossed buns at this time." He smiled and breathed a sigh of relief at the murmurs of approval he got from the other hermits. "Then for the second part we will pull straws to find a neutral party of four to hide all of the eggs, after that everyone will go out and hunt for the hidden eggs. At the end the eggs will be counted up and the person with the most eggs will receive a grand prize, then you will all be able to keep the chocolate you found. How does this sound?"
The roar of excited hermits giving their approval was like music to Grians ears, he punched the air and flapped his wings to move over closer to the tables while staying high up. "Alright then! Let the first annual hermitcraft easter egg hunt begin...NOW!!" He yelled down at them, laughing when they reacted seconds later and rushed to grabs their eggs and paint. He landed next to Mumbo and Iskall with a smile. "What's this 'grand prize' then Grian?" Iskall asked with a smirk, Grian simply rolled his eyes and brushed it off with. "You'll see. Now go paint! I'll fetch Poult." Mumbo grabbed Grian by the shoulder just as he was about to fly off, giving him a smile and gesturing towards the table where Iskall had joined Doc, Ren and Stress. "You go paint with them, it was your idea. Don't worry, I'll go get your brother." Grian smiled and hugged his tall friend, smiling up at him. "Thank you dude, good luck trying to get him here!" He laughed and ran off to sit with his friends, grabbing some paint as he did.
Mumbo smiled and pumped a rocket, launching himself into the sky and letting himself glide down into Grians base. He looked around and opened the hidden door to the poultry cave, dropping inside. He soon found Poult sitting in bed clutching a little toy chick, the bird boy appeared to be crying. Mumbo felt bad for the guy, he aproched Poult and put a hand of his shoulder. Poult turned around and slapped Mumbo out of instinct, luckily mumbo jumped out of the way. Poult glared at him and sprung out of bed and grabbed Mumbo by the tie and glared at him. "What do you want you fucking prick?"
Mumbo was taken aback, he chuckles nervously and holds his hands up. "Hey calm down, I just wanted to tell you that Gria-" "Grian what? What's he done now? I don't get why everyone comes running to me when he fucks up, I'm his twin not his babysitter." He seemed to scoff at himself and tossed Mumbo to the floor with ease, turning around and massaging his temples. "Go ahead though I guess, shoot." Mumbo looked so worried as he landed on the cold stone floor, he gazed up at Poult in concern. "What's wrong with you? Grian came to me crying earlier and now I find you in the same position, what did you say to him. What happened to you two that's making you so upset?" He stared up at the chicken boy, eyes widening as Poult turned around and kicked him across the room. "DON'T TALK TO ME LIKE THAT!! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH!! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HARD IT WAS FOR US LIVING ON THE STREETS FOR SO LONG! YEARS OF BEING LOCKED AWAY FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD THEN TOSSED INTO THE BUSTLING STREETS AND HAVING TO LEARN HOW TO FEND OF OURSELVES!! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH WORK IT TOOK FOR US TO SIMPLY STAY ALIVE!!" Tears were falling from Poults eyes as he screamed at Mumbo, he was shaking with a mixture of rage and dispair. Mumbo leaped up and hugged the smaller male, rubbing circles on his back but being careful not to touch the feathers of Poult's wings. "I know, I don't understand how it felt and I don't pretend to. But I just want you to know that you don't have to bottle up your emotions like this, you have friends who care about you. We want to see both you happy and healthy. I don't ask for my own interest, I ask for yours." Mumbo broke the hug and took a step back with a kind smile. "I do have to ask though...why do you and Grian have such different memories of the past?"
Poult sighed and sat on the bed, grabbing a mirror to fix his tear stained makeup. "Well...he was just so innocent back then...he didn't understand what was going on most of the time, still doesn't sometimes. So his memories are a little sugar coated and I suppose it upsets me a little..." Mumbo nodded in encouragment and place a hand on the bird boys shoulder, Poult smiles up at him. "I'm glad though...I really don't want him to remember it all...the promises I made to him...I made so many mistakes..." Mumbo patted him on the shoulder and smiled kindly at him. "You did what you could, no one's going to judge you." Poult chuckled and finished his make-up, standing up and smiling at Mumbo. "Cheers 'stache, I apriciate it. Now what did my idiot brother do?"
Mumbo chuckled and grinned. "He's organised a server wide easter egg hunt an I told him I'd come and get you so that he can get right to painting the eggs." Poult chuckled and stood up. "Bloody dumbass, I told him not to. Anyway, come on 'stache. We don't want to keep my bro waiting now do we?" He flew off through the exit with Mumbo in tow, they landed in the Sahara courtyard and Poult looked around. Rows of tables filled with hermits working hard on their eggs and having fun, he saw Grian beaming at him and waving him over. "Poult! Hey! What took you guys so long!" Mumbo and Poult approached the table as Mumbo shrugged. "Poult had a little mishap and had to redo his makeup, no biggie." He smiled over at his new friend, Poult chuckled and smiled back. Grian blinked at them, not quite understanding but smiling anyway. "Brilliant! Well now you're here Poult, Stress has saved a few eggs for you. Go on and paint them, there's a few minutes until we pull straws." Poult nodded and sat down next to Stress who instantly smiled bright at him. "Hey Poult, oh hun did you mess up your makeup? There's little mascara steaks under your eyes, I told you to take it all off if you messed it up. Honestly, I'll fix it for you when the eggs are being hidden." "How do you know you won't be picked to hide them?" Ren asked, leaning into the conversation with a smile. Stress simply shrugged. "I don't." Poult chuckled and began to paint his eggs, taking great care on the details. Iskall noticed this and joked. "Well we can all see which twin got all the artistic talent." He gestured to Grians sad attempt at a flower compared to the little rosegarden Poult had just started. This made Poults feathers stand on end, he glared at Iskall and spoke with venom in his tone. "What are you trying to say about my brother?" Iskalls eye widen and he puts his hands up, the others on the table look at him in shock and Doc puts his arm in front of Poult. Iskall chuckles nervously and glances at Grian, hoping for assistance. "Woah dude, I was just jokeing. Just a little playing about, I didn't mean it..." Grian sighed and turned to face Poult. "Poult please...it's just a bit of banter, don't be such a bird brain." He chuckled as Poult nodded then fake gasped and clutched his chest. "Oh how dare you! My own flesh and blood! You wound me brother!" This sent Grian into hysterics but only earned a few nervous chuckles from Iskall, Ren and Doc. Mumbo and Stress chuckled quietly as this, finding it rather amusing.
After a little while the straws where drawn and Scar, Joe, Mumbo and False went off to hide the eggs. Stress introduced Poult to a little thing called make-up wipes as Grian sat excitedly babbling about how excited he was. Iskall had to make sure that Grian didn't accidentally fly off as the blonde had a habit of flapping his wings when too happy. It wasn't long before they were out searching for the eggs. Grian had just found a little purple egg in the fantasy district, he added it to his basket which was slowly filling. He ran off to find the next egg when he was suddenly tripped up and his basket snatched from him, he looked up to see Cub holding his basket and chuckling. "I'll be taking this, what? You didn't say this was against the rules and besides, isn't stealing peoples hard earned items what you're all about at Sahara? You want capitalism? Here's a taste, it doesn't natter who you hurt as long as you come out on top. That's capitalism blondie, remember that." He chuckled and began to count how many more eggs he had after stealing from Grian until he froze. "Excuse me? Just what do you think you're doing?" An angry voice came from behind him, the voice shook with rage and Cub turned around to see the source of the sound. Poult was standing there, basket full of eggs and a killer glare on his face. He put his basket on the floor and stepped towards Cub, clicking his knuckles. "Give Grian back his eggs you wanker, or else." "Or else what?" Cub answered politely, wanting to know what this little dude could possibly to to scare him. Poult simply rolled his eyes and punched Cub as hard as he could in the stomach, sending him flying. "Or else that, dickhead. Don't mess with my brother." He walked over to where Cub lay and gave him a few more choice punches before taking all of Grians eggs back and even a few of Cubs and handing them to his twin. "Here, next time kick him in yourself you prat." He chuckled as he helped Grian up, Grian smiled at him and gave him a light punch in the shoulder before flying off. "Cheers you old fool." "We're the same age you feathered fuck!"
Before long, all the eggs had been found and it was time to count them. Poult came first with Grian coming a close second, third place went to Ren who had sniffed them out with ease. The time came for the grand prize to be presented to Poult but when that time came all that Grian gave him was a bandana with an egg pun embroidered on it, no one understood why Poult started tearing up and hugged Grian. Mumbo caught the few words said between the two though. "I'll add it to the collection..." Mumbo knew a little more about this strange duo but he felt that he needed to know more, maybe at the next holiday...
