#worlds most mid dad is the funniest way to describe him

[sankttealeaf]

Do you think Gortash would be a good dad? I'm curious to hear your thoughts! Im wondering how he would even react to the news, If it were to happen accidentaly. I think it would be an ego boost for him? Or maybe even a turn on???

hi anon!!! ive had Thoughts about this!

i think he'd be alright as a parent. not great, but not completely awful. he's present, mostly! world's most mid dad. he has that on a mug he never uses.

for a man who ive always headcanoned to want to preserve his rule over faerun (and bane's grip on the land too), having kids is the next option because he'd be able to mould them to take up his mantle when he's gone. theyre just another step in his plan to keeping the world under his control. i think he would be thrilled to find out about it, and then something else would get his attention and it's pushed to the side until he can properly process it.

as someone who had an absent (to put it simply) parent growing up, theres always that lingering fear that i would end up just like them and i think thats the case for gortash as well. humanising him for a second, there may be a part of him that keeps his distance because what if, yknow? sending his child off to be looked after by nannys and other staff while he stays at the opposite end of the building to get work done. that way nothing bad can happen to ruin his well crafted step by step plan in keeping rule over the world. okay done humanising him, back to evil now

i think as the kids get older and become more curious about things he may take more of an interest then. you cant really... do much with babies. hes not about to babble at them or play with them, but a toddler who wants to explore and look at things? come along, child. let me show you some machines you are way too young to be near.

definitely calls them child or boy or girl. thats kind of funny. also could be projecting on how raphael treated him growing up in the house of hope. thats less funny.

teaches them the ways of bane from the moment they can start to understand words. ik theres studies(?) out there saying u should talk to your young kids like normal to help with their vocabulary and gortash definitely does that. this man cannot do baby talk. he sits with them over dinner discussing politics and leadership. bedtime stories? no, no, he's telling them in depth political moves hes planning on doing

ive specifically thought about this in terms of my durge, rue and gortash, and how its a good ending for him but a bad ending for her. its a vague au in my head right now but man. who let the bhaalspawn and banite have kids?

that poor child. as well loved as a child growing up in a political atmosphere with an emotionally distance mother & a father whos only taking notice of them when theyre old enough to start properly learning things can be... thats gotta be a rough childhood...

Don't worry! A lot of hermitcraft fanfic authors also don't know their personalities! Every single female hermit is the mom friend, while male hermits are defined by their fanon lore more than any personality they actually have!

Okay, but seriously, I can help out with a few.

BDubs: Gets very attached to specific people, varying by season. Talks them up, as well as himself, to the point of obvious exaggeration. Self-described horse girl and etho fan.

Cub: Does things because he thinks they're fun. His idea of fun is causing chaos, ranging from small things (building a secret tunnel into someone's pool) to big things (placing down three thousand sculk catalysts underground). Willing to dedicate many hours to random pranks. Goes along with things just because he wants to cause more chaos

Doc: Cartoon supervillain. Likes showing off cool stuff to others and helping people. If he is challenged will immediately escalate into outright war crimes, but he can be defeated with the power of friendship, cute things, or trading card games.

Etho: Very socially awkward.

False: From the outside, a cool badass. From the inside, perpetually just a tiny bit lost and confused, and a wet cat.

Gem: A pest. The sort of person to wake you up at four in the morning to go have a swordfight. Also the sort of person to win that swordfight.

Grian: Doesn't pay attention. Tries to cause problems, and frequently experiences the consequences of his own actions. Tries to get out of those consequences and causes himself bigger problems.

Impulse: Seems like the dad friend outwardly. Does not forgive or forget until he gets revenge.

Jevin: Likes to profiteer off other people's conflicts. Can tell when people are misleading him. Isn't scared of anyone.

Joe: Just a Guy. Very normal person, to the point of being weird. Enjoys malicious compliance, and interpreting things in the funniest possible way. (Think Amelia Bedelia if you know what that is)

Keralis: Makes dirty jokes. Likes helping people. Pretends to be either the best in the world or just a little guy depending on what benefits him - can switch mid-sentence from "I'm the best" to "Please help me".

Mumbo: Self-described "spoon". Does things because he thinks they'd be fun without often thinking through the consequences. Likes winding up Grian specifically. Often makes up competitions for other hermits.

Pearl: Gremlin. Is the sort of person to ask "are we there yet" every ten minutes while riding a car. Doesn't like it when things are messy.

Ren: Plays characters. Very dramatic. Would rather work himself to the bone than ask for help.

Scar: May scam people, but also enjoys giving people gifts.

Stress: Part mom friend, part pest. Can and will say the dirtiest things.

Tango: Very overdramatic. Enjoys making silly stuff. Will make entire games inside of survival minecraft. Sounds almost perpetually excited on-camera.

Beef: Gets focused on his projects. Can run a mafia if he wants to.

xB: Likes messing with people just a little bit. Enjoys playing minigames.

Xisuma: Absent-minded. Mostly concerned with his own stuff. When the moon fell on the server, he was mostly happy that everyone forgot about the scam he was running for the prior five months.

Zedaph: Comes up with the most convoluted way to do something. People for him are just test subjects, himself included.

Cleo: Will lie to and scam people if it would be funny. Knows when she is being lied to or when someone is trying to scam her, and doesn't let them. Has a scary reputation - if someone sees through it, she admits that she's actually not very good at a lot of things, which itself hides how she's above-average when it comes to many different things. People either over- or under-estimate her.

soo uhmmm does anyone know of a post that describes the hermit’s personalities or how they’re typically described in fanfics??? i plan on making a long-ish au with most (if not all) of the hermits. but i don’t have the time or attention span to watch kore than like 2 hermits
