I know I made this post at the end of season 9, but here it is, right before a new beginning: all the new hermitcraft fans from the past two years who haven’t been around for season start time: WELCOME! there’s very little hermitcraft time that’s better! welcome to episode one shenanigans when none of them are geared up and none of them remember what it’s like to be earlygame! welcome to “are you SURE that’s a STARTER base?????”! welcome to “the hermits are all on one big call and ready to make it each other’s problem”! welcome to everyone interacting in those early days before they’re all self-sufficient, dealing with each other! welcome to the lucrative market of being the one guy making food! welcome to early spawn points, to spawn builds, to goofy shenanigans, to iron tools and the inevitable terrible nether spawn, welcome welcome welcome to EARLYGAME HERMITCRAFT!!!!!

warnings for: death, spoilers for series

hello, and welcome to another Mad Rambles.

today's topic: Escape the Night

EtN makes me mad sometimes. Not because it's about murder or my favorite characters die or something. It's because the characters are all content to be led like lambs to slaughter.

like, don't give me terrified lambs who can't handle themselves under pressure. I know these are YouTubers, they aren't trained fighters or aggressive people, but some of them have to have the fight response. don't give me rabbits who run from wolves, give me the wolves!

give me MatPat, utterly pissed that Joey was willing to trade nine peoples' lives for his own one life. give me Matt Haag, who fought with everyone until he gave up. give me Colleen, who blamed Joey for everything until her untimely death by force. give me Liza and Tyler, trying so hard to win for the both of them until they where cheated out of their victory. give me Brettman, who took no one's shit and celebrated his own victories. give me DeStorm, making no apologies for the way he chose to win.

I don't want little lambs content to die, I want fighters clawing their way to victory. if I'm to be hunted like an animal, I don't think I'd allow myself to be pulled down. you're playing with a new set of rules, ones that change with each challenge, should your key focus not be bickering and fighting, but survival?

give me people who survived and tore up their invitations. give me people who are furious with the person who invited them. give me people willing to do what it takes to win and survive. give me people who are the wolves, who'd just as soon turn the killers' weapons on them.

give me the Survivors being horrified and furious at Joey for the things they'd seen and been invited into.

just give me this...

thank you.

It’s been a few months since Empires s2 came to an end and I wanted to make a piece reflecting on the time we spent with these characters 🥰✨ When season 1 ended I did a series of paintings set to the End Poem, and so I decided to revisit the concept once again, making sure to switch up which line corresponded to which person. This series means a lot to me—in fact, this is one of two big Empires s2 projects I’ve been working on! There’s another one still in the works :D

Bread forever

We should be fine as long as we do not reblog bread.

Do yuo think Shelby sends Katherine letters via Nimbus during the supreme witch trials. Do you think the gardens looking a little bit sad now because Katherine’s not used to having to water it. Do you think Shelby refuses to take her ring off (theyre married source just trust me bro) even though it would be more efficient and make room for more enchanted rings. Do you think Katherine goes through her day working on requests and embroidery projects just waiting for the little black crow to show up with some more batshit insane letters. “Hey Katherine <3 The trials are going really well, I’ve learnt a lot since getting here! I grew wings btw. Also I have a sister now!!! She’s kinda cringefail but I think you’d like her :) I’ll see you soon, just gotta fight a death battle and I’ll be back home!! Miss you XOXO <3!”. Hello can anyone hear me

Making Empires Cast into DND5e Characters

Great Witch Shelby of the Evermore

At Level Three

Race: Human

Language: Gnomish (for nostalgia)

Class: School of Transmutation

Skills: Investigation, Medicine

Background: Guild Artisan

Language: Sylvan

I figured the witches were more of a guild and it fits more with her character instead of something like sage

I challenge! I've been thinking about this for quite some time, (you just gave me reason to write it all.) While I generally like what you put, I believe wholeheartedly that she would be a sorcerer. (Perhaps even unaware of her internal magic.) Because:

You decide to become a wizard in DND; while Shelby was born, and destined, for magic. That is clearly not the case for the other witches: while WC Joey was born with magic, WC Scott, Lauren, and Prismarina all definitely weren't. (I'm unclear about the others. But the term of "witch" seems to be incredibly loose.) So, Shelby was born with magic, yet still went to a school for witches, and that is all fine and good. HOWEVER, she was a horrible student, making mistakes and etcetera. She is clearly dedicated to the craft, yet she keeps failing. What if she wasn't being taught for her class of magic? And later on, she was able to open a multi-dimensional rift *on accident*. That is someone with substantial raw power. Warlock is out of the question, except when she was possessed by sculk. It gave her power, which is the whole identity of a warlock. But she already had power, she just seemed to have gotten better control over it, seemingly increasing what she already had. ANYWAYS, she also had a vision at one point, if I remember correctly, of the gnomes when she discovered the heart of the Evermoore and the portal there: more of a sorcerer trait. "The fog claims souls and those who go in there are don't come back out", well maybe the fog kept her alive because it sensed her magic. Maybe the sculk couldn't claim her as fast as it claimed Cub because of her internal magic trying to fight it. Or maybe that's why she still had some control and was able to feel the pain of the voices instead of being completely numb like promised. There are probably other things I'm missing... Oh well.

So, based on the information I gathered and remember, I'd say that Great Witch Shelby is a sorcerer, behaving as if she is a wizard.

At 10:00 in the video. Also, no, I only have a select group of friends, only 1 is gay. So, sadly, I didn’t know much of this info yet. Thanks for tellin'!

Ever think about the fact that when we last saw the two, Katherine had no idea on how Shelby was actually cure of the skulk. She didn’t know everything with the witch academy, the voices screaming in Shelby’s head, the spirits in the fog. She didn’t know that Shelby died.

Very, very traumatized, ever heard of "Danganronpa: Kirigiri" ?

I'd like to purchase some therapy for her.

Fun fact: When she was younger, she had two braids, one on each side.

she was so real for that tiny ass braid
