Congrats on the win :D

in this sunset age of season 10, here's your moment to appreciate Joe Hills, the original new guy. Joe's been here since five weeks into season 1 and is one of the 'hermitcraft council' (the hermits who tend to take on more of the admin work). Joe does hermitcraft slightly differently, but still with the mad ambition of any hermit.

You'll find Joe's builds are matched to maps and blueprints and built to a calculated scale (Castle Ravenloft, The Evergiven, Wizards of Wine Winery, Deepfield Pinball Machine, Castle Hohenzollern, Bell Hooks Laboratory).

Joe's art is not about building, however (it's not content, it's art). Joe is the master of malicious compliance and finds an obscure place in many hermitcraft events and stories. He outplayed Grian in the S6 prank war by calling in an IOU banning Grian from retaliating. He ran season 7 without diamond gear, season 8 without elytra.

It's not about the challenge either, however. Joe cut his Minecraft teeth with ultra hardcore maps, but before that he was streaming art for the webcomic he wrote (Jacque of all blades) on the channel he set up to practice stand up comedy.

Joe has spoken often about curating a community, about ensuring bigots know that they are not welcome. He has spoken about ensuring he's paying his mods, his project manager and any artists he works with fairly (recently he paid a community member to help him accurately depict the way light refracts in a prism). He has mid roll ads turned off and has substituted them with a patreon tier that replaces ads with either a poem or a poetry prompt of Joe's own devising.

This is the Joe Hills difference, a focus on presenting a way of building an ethical community, of streaming in a style that makes it seem possible for anyone to stream, a focus on the hermitcraft community.

Joe Hills is your hermit if you like community areas, thankless tasks, and stubborn determination. Joe Hills is your hermit if you like Cleo's eternal torment (and partner in crime). Joe Hills is your hermit if you want to see someone with the worst luck in the world commit to putting 6 million armour stands into Cleo's storage system off the back of a joke.

Joe Hills (former tyrannous ruler of the hermitcraft server) is often overlooked, despite being Tumblr's duly elected MCYT sexyman. Joe Hills dropped the embargo on the ending of season ten by posting it on linkedin. Joe Hills is putting together the images for the guest streams. Joe Hills threw a coup to get us season two, Mumbo Jumbo, and ZombieCleo.

Joe hasn't gone quiet in the dying days of the server (she never does). So give their recent videos a watch and see how much thought he and Cleo have put into helping Impulse with Metro Mayhem season 2.

due to zombies' rapid flesh decay, tattoo ink tends to blur and dissolve rather quickly. on the other hand, embroidery--

after the announcement about season 10 ending soon, i've seen numerous people disappointed about hermits (especially scar) not "having a chance to finish their projects" so i figured i would post this too

i think it's also important to mention that cleo said on stream the hermits decided this end date for season 10 like four months ago. it was not a sudden decision - the hermits have been given time to figure out how to wrap things up nicely and they plan to work very hard this month to make that happen!

Actually I think all of Hermitcraft is one big open relationship. All 25 members kiss. Gem will tease X by calling meetings “dates”. Whatever Cleo, False, and Ren have going on when they go on their personal dates is something no one is willing to interrupt. If Pearl switches Hungry Hermits partners enough, the ones she plays with (Ren, Tango, False, etc) will complain that she is “cheating” on them and demand extra kisses as compensation. Every single member of the server kissed Doc when he was stuck on that sky island as payment for them bringing him supplies he wanted.

POLYHERMITS FOR THE WINNNNNN
