Sometimes I feel like Grian breaks his eyes on purpose just to get Mumbo to pay attention to him

[dspite]

Scenario that's been bouncing around in my head for a while now:

If post-HTP, Bravo did get to actually join Hermitcraft, he'd be shocked to discover that, if appropriately scaled down relative to player count, there is possibly at least as much casual murder as there is in Hels.

His first day, Scar hotguys him. This of course has happened once before in a much more hostile context, but when Bravo complains about it, Grian tells him that "that's just a standard Scar welcome, nothing to worry about."

Scar proceeds to hotguy five more people in the span of the next hour, and himself get shot by Grian three times.

His second day, over the whole thirty minutes of Bravo eating lunch, the chat is filled with a near constant stream of "Etho was slain by GeminiTay", randomly but rarely interspersed with "GeminiTay was slain by Etho".

"Oh, they're having fun" Cleo says. "Well, Gem is, mostly."

Sometime in the evening, there are ten consecutive death messages of people getting squashed by falling anvils.

"Oh yeah" Impulse says, noticing Bravo's confusion, "that's Doc's latest pasttime."

His third day, Scar hotguys him twice. Once while he's working, scaring the life out of him, and then once again while he's collecting his belongings. While this is happening, Bravo nearly doesn't notice the chat log of Impulse getting killed repeatedly by Pearl and Gem for about twenty minutes.

His fourth day, Bravo walks into a TNT and lava trap that costs him half of his belongings.

"Really sorry" Mumbo tells him. "That was meant for Grian."

Later that same day, Doc gets him with an anvil.

"You're hard to hit" he says, "you never stay still. Just like Tango, actually, so that makes sense."

It occurs to Bravo that he hasn't even really met Doc before just now. Is this what the man considers an introduction?

His fifth day, Gem shows up on his doorstep.

"Can you afford to lose levels right now?" she asks. "I need your head."

"What?" Bravo asks back.

"I need your head" Gem repeats, as if that's a normal request in the slightest. "I'm building a dungeon with armour stands of all the hermits in the cells, and you're a hermit now, so I need to put you in a cell."

Just like yesterday with Doc, it occurs to Bravo that this is the first time he has really talked to Gem. But well, at least she asked before killing him. That's something, right?

WAIT HOLD ON HOLD ON THIS IS DELIGHTFUL

A particular aspect of aphobia that a lot of autistic and other neurodivergent folks run into with ableism and women run into with harassment is people's inability to accept or comprehend boundaries when it comes to something that is seen as generally and thus universally positive.

People see it with catcalling and the excuse of "it's a compliment" but people generally see catcalling as sleazy so people wrap their heads around it pretty easily, but calling someone beautiful? Hugging them? Saying I love you? Boundaries go out the window because it's a nice thing! It's affectionate. You should be flattered people want to have sex with you, you should give that person a chance because love is sweet, you should want to have friends because it's good to have people and they should tell you i love you because they're important words. This thing is inherently positive so if it makes you uncomfortable that's a problem you need to fix, not have a respected boundary for.

It devolves into people telling you how you feel because you're just being stubborn and people socially retreating because having those relationships seems to inherently mean you aren't allowed those boundaries so you just can't have those relationships without being made uncomfortable or anxious that those things are going to happen anyways.

Okay so, Phil has blocked Dadza in his chat. He is responding to people calling him dad by saying that he's not people's dad. That's where we're at. And I have seen people on Twitter and in chat starting to panic about this. "Is papa okay," "Can we still call you Crowfather," "is fic okay", "can we still call mumza mumza", "what about peepaw," "Is art okay", "but you're my online father". It's kind of a mess there. So. Just to ponder this publicly, I want to go over a few things I see people starting to spiral about—

"Is Papa okay": I am inferring a little bit based on my age (I'm Phil's age) and my experience of having people just start mom-assigning me because of my age, and things like how Phil has reacted to people calling him dad, but I would say probably that things like papa and grandza and dad and pai and father might be something to be avoided in his chat/tts. He's blocked the term dadza, because you can block that specific term and not catch people talking about their family, but in terms of calling him other words for father, like, I will be honest here: people you don't know calling you their parent is not a socially neutral act. It's kind of a lot. He was going along with it during the pandemic, because people were desperate and hurting, but we are not in a place of social crisis any more. He doesn't want to be a father figure, he's just a guy. Just call him Phil, or Mr Minecraft, or Mr Za, Mr Kristin'sHusband if you have to have a title. Calling people some form of parent if you don't know them is very familiar and intimate, and if you don't know that person, it can come off as a lot. If it's happening over and over again, it's easy to get sick of it. Now you know.

"Can we still call mumza mumza" Okay so with this, she has a perfectly good name right there, but also she still has Mumza in her bio. People are not donoing her three times a week to ask her to be proud of them or to trauma dump. She's said it's okay. Consider just using her name if you're talking in chat, but you are not going to get timed out for mumza right now.

"We need to tell everyone in the tag," Okay so like sure, tell your friends what words not to use in chat, but Kristin was also in chat yesterday telling people that it's going to take a while for people to get used to this, so don't bully people. Streamers have said multiple times that they don't want their fans to get in fights or discourse or drama or bullying in their name. Just like— okay, now you know, now you can tell your friend what words to not use to avoid being timed out, now you know what not to do at a meet and greet— and then you can live your life. You do not need to police other people— the streamer has mods and blocked terms and can enforce this in his chat.

"Is fic still okay" Like okay. This is one that I am begging people not to ask the streamer personally. Do not make streamer weigh in on family dynamic fics— he doesn't read them, he's not interested, he's never read them. They have never been for the streamer (or for Kristin), they are for other fans who want to read about how cute it would be if SBI was babies and Phil was a good dad. Or how fucked up it would be if Tommy was kidnapped and menaced by Phil. Or how sad it would be if Technoblade was abused by Phil hashtag bad ending. Or how comforting it would be if Reader is abused and gets adopted by Phil and finally has a home and gets a hug. None of that has EVER been for the streamer to look at— he's not gonna like it! He's probably gonna find it weird, because it's people using his persona to do all kinds of things, half of which are literal crimes, often to his adult friends, but this character's got his name on him. There are all kind of fics that are just written because someone's got a fun/cute/sad idea, and nothing bad is intended about the actual streamer, cause the writer was thinking about the fic character that has his name, not the streamer in the north of england, but it's still going to be kind of weird for the streamer to hear about it.

That's why we don't bring up fic or certain types of art in chat ANYWAYS. Phil is not going to want to hear about the character with his name being mind broken so much worse by the ender king isn't it angsty. And that's not because there's anything off-colour about mind breaking his character via the ender king (I rub my hands together anticipatorily), that's because that's for other fans to go spam weeping emojis in the comments about, that's not for the streamer. Streamer is busy playing block game and watching space youtube and reading manga and being married to his lovely wife. He's not reading fic. Don't show him fic. Keep that over here with the people who actually want to read it. Fic is fine, you're just bashing dolls together, but don't show it to the streamer.

So, is fic still okay? It's okay, it's always been okay, just don't show it to streamer. You now know that he doesn't want to see dad stuff. That does not mean that you are doing something wrong if you write dad stuff off in your corner of tumblr, where he is not. Tag your stuff, don't put it in his chat or discord, and show it to people who are going to find it fun, not streamer. Make it so that he never has to think about that. Let him live his life. Don't put dad stuff in his chat or discord or mentions, let him be just a guy playing block game, and you're good.
