#Hermitcraft theory

Other headcanons: “Cub ages backwards.” “Cub de-aged himself with science.” “The Vex slowly made Cub look younger as an unintentional result of him joining them, and it reached its peak in Season 8.”
My new theory: “He’s just one of those guys whose beard hair grows in grayer than his head hair, and for a while he was just really digging the all-beard no-hair look. When he let his hair grow in he just ditched the beard because it didn’t match anymore.”

Hermitcraft season 8 was a simulation. The moon becoming big was a glitch in the code, the hermits were somehow transported into that season with their memories wiped of being transported and they had to escape. The moon was what tipped them off to the urgency of the situation.
In boatem a robot ended up becoming the leader in place of Mumbo - a robot which I personally belive to be a form of grumbot - which might've been a manifestation of the hermits having been captured in the simulation.
Maybe grumbot from empires wasn't destroyed entirely, it's consciousness used the last of its energy, combined with the energy of its creator, (Grian) trying desperately to save its life, in order to slip into the rift to recuperate its strength.
Now I'm hearing you say, "but Emporer!Grumbot was made in the season 9 crossover, after season 8" but hear me out: time travel.
The rift already breaks the laws of space so why not time, if a super computer figured out how to harness The Rifts power surely it would be able to scatter different versions of itself through the past.
Maybe the computer was created by the watchers, fragments of their collective consciousness going into it in case of a disaster. That could explain why it was all linked to Grian.
Grumbot knew that Grian would be the ideal person to bring it onto hermitcraft initially, because he had the power of the watchers. And it was right because he ended up being the one strong enough to open the rift, and in the end with his extra energy, save Emporer!Grumbot
He - Grian
It - Grumbot
They - The Watchers
...
So uh, who else enjoyed the permit challenges? :]

Hermitcraft Finales
Seeing everyone theorise about the snails and how they think they’ll cause the end of S10 is reminding me of a theory I once had so ✨story time✨.
Once when I was 10 and I was at sailing I saw this kid who used to go to my school (side note: I met so many people coincidentally thatd become my friends in later schools/id seen around my old school and I got to see them in a new way at sailing idk why) and we ended up on the same boat together for a class.
During this class we ended up talking about Hermitcraft, it was my first season watching and his second or third or something like that (this was when S6 had just started) so I was the newbie and he told me that at the end of each season they was some dramatic ending which was why they had to go to a new world.
So we got to theorising; what would it be this time? What clues were laid out? I told him things I’d seen happen in G’s and Stress’s vids and he told me things that happened in other POVs. After a few lessons of choosing to partner up we had a theory:
Grian’s salmon ghost was a symbolic warning of the seasons message. The threat was mirroring climate change in particular the rise of ocean levels which was a big focus in media at the time. We predicted that the server would end due to large flooding and tsunamis caused by all the industrialisation done (there were lots of modern and mega builds that season) and industrialisation/climate change was just a general theme in S6 with Concord VS. Sahara and Sahara news covering topics to do with Concords negative environmental impact.
We were so proud of our theory so ready to see it happen and then… it didn’t. Nothing happened that season in terms of a dramatic ending (that’s not to say it wasn’t my favourite season because it was but there was no ending and we didn’t see each other again to discuss this).
Now this isn’t a message meant to teach you not to theorise, no, theorising is fun!! And I really hope and believe the snails will cause the end of S10 I just wanted to share this story because the similar vibes between S6 and 10 plus the theorising is making me think about it constantly (and my other sailing experiences). Just don’t get too crushed if it doesn’t happen I guess and I hope you enjoyed reading all the random nonsense we theorised about when I was back in S6- or maybe that was just me. We also had other evidence to support our theory but I’ve forgotten most of it.

so i've been seeing a whole bunch of you guys make theory posts about who the new Hermits for season 10 might be, and i'm gonna pitch a wildcard, crackpot last-minute theory to you guys:
what if one of the new hermits is WaxFraud or InfiniteDrift?
hear me out.
so we know that there's a good chance that one or both of the new hermits is not well-connected or close friends with the main hermitcraft squad because Doc has said that he doesn't know them super well, but that the new members are ALSO close enough to the hermits' friend circles that Jimmy Solidarity knows who they are and is excited about them.
now obviously, this could be a streamer we already think of as hermit-adjacent, like Joel Smallishbeans or Skizzleman. but what really got me thinking was someone suggesting AdieCraft as a potential new hermit. why did Adie pique my interest? because I skimmed his youtube and realized that he was part of the Legacy SMP.
if you don't know, Legacy was a smaller survival server that several current Hermits and their wider friend groups were involved in a few years ago. Jimmy, Pearl, Gem, Skizz, fWhip, MythicalSausage, and ZloyXP were all Legacy members (aka Legates) at one point.
Most of the big mcytbers left Legacy by the end of season 2 for different servers like X-Life, but Legacy SMP ran for three seasons, and notably, Adie and Zloy stayed Legates on season 3. Legacy season 3 also added a bunch of new streamers, INCLUDING WAXFRAUD.
So there is a record of WaxFraud collaborating with big Hermitcraft-adjacent people and it's not impossible that the hermits have been interested in adding him; Wax is an extremely skilled hardcore builder, after all. I've also caught Eret liking posts I've made on here talking about Wax's content, and even though Eret isn't a hermit herself, she is a builder who knows a lot of well-connected mcytbers. This could mean that WaxFraud is much better known than we think in the upper circles of MCYT.
But Ferret, you may be asking, what about InfiniteDrift? Why do you think she's a potential new hermit?
Well for starters, Drift and Wax are friends. They were both members of the One Shot SMP, and they were also both members of the Bloodlines SMP alongside THREE MORE former Legacy members: Brookella, Sevaris, and Mr. Beardstone. Drift has also been very open about being a fan of Hermitcraft, much like Gem was before joining. Drift also applied for MCC Rising 2 with some of the other Bloodlines members, so we can assume that Scott Smajor has heard of her, at the very least.
Is this copium? Probably. But there's still a non-zero chance that the Hermits know who WaxFraud is, and there's also a non-zero chance that they know who Drift is. Which means there's the slightest of slight chances...
You never know! ^_^

Wild theory...
May or may not be related to the new grian video (that new video got me into a theorizing mood and this post spawned from that)
But what if the recent Evo hint in Grian's Minecraft Beta is weird video is related to the next life smp season? Because why would he advertise a years old SMP that isn't even active anymore?
Like, maybe the next season is third life but every session updates to a new version of Minecraft.
And Scar says the next life SMP season idea has been brewing since September. That Beta video was posted in September...

Trying to figure out what's going on with False... Here's the vague ideas that I've seen around/ thought of:
Empires False is an ex-villain, and Hermit False erased her memories because she was a danger to everyone
Hermit False is a villain, and erased Empires False's memories to prevent her from stopping hc!False's machinations
One of them is a time traveler, and if they get to close they'll both explode
They were allies and e!False asked hc!False to erase her memories as some kind of safety precaution, something like she knew the formula to some world-destroying device (Maybe something to do with the rift?)
hc!False and e!False are two halves of one split personality
True Symmetry is somewhere out there and is separate from both Falses (I think this one was a joke)
I think the allies one makes sense, because hc!False doesn't seem to scared of e!False, although e!False being a former villain might explain her paranoia and guilt.
What do other people think?

Since I’m a bit late to empireblr I’m not sure if anyone has mentioned this but…
Am I the only one who thinks grian’s outside base in hermitcraft looks very similar to the building style of stratos? Most likely if it isn’t a coincidence (I’m not sure which came first cause I don’t watch much hermitcraft) either Joel or Grian took inspiration from the other. But what if it’s a lore???

Another Mumbo came through the Rift. 
So, we all know that there's something going on with the rift, the entity, and Grian. I don't exactly have answers to everything, but there is one thing I think I know: the Mumbo currently in Hermitcraft is not the same Mumbo that started the series. Warning: I'm gonna be doing a LOT of reaching here. I'm saying it now so I don't have to keep saying it later, but just keep that in mind.
The current Mumbo in Hermitcraft is not the same Mumbo that started the series. This Mumbo came through the rift from a different world; specifically, Hermitcraft season 8.
For one, Mumbo hasn't been playing on his usual account, MumboJumbo. He's been playing on his camera account, called Mumbo. The first picture here is from Grian's first Hermitcraft episode; the second is from his tenth.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ok; great. We've established that potentially, there's some sort of difference between episode 1 Mumbo and episode 10 Mumbo. But what would make you think that it's specifically Mumbo from season 8?
In season 8, Mumbo consumed Grian's soul to become human again; in doing so, he got the signature waffle hair on the back of his head. If we look at namemc, a site that shows what minecraft skins users have downloaded and/or equipped, we see the account "Mumbo" has the waffle head skin downloaded and equipped. While this could be a mistake, it's unlikely, as he has a completely identical skin (minus the waffle head) downloaded as well. Why would he use the waffle head skin if he had already had his normal skin downloaded and ready to use?
Tumblr media
Grian, after finishing the Rift in episode 9, says, "It's mysterious, it's ominous, and who know's what's going to come out of it." He could mean "come out of it" as a figure of speech; or he could mean, what's going to PHYSICALLY COME OUT OF IT. A.k.a. Another Mumbo.

Okay so I just binged all of Cub's episodes starting with the one where he goes through the rift, and I have a theory, which I will explain in detail under the cut.
Disclaimer: I have only watched Grian's, and now Cub's POV on Empires. I did do some research on the different locations through the Empires S2 Wiki.
[Spoilers for Cub's 46th episode: SPREAD THE SCULK!.]
Also LOOOOONG post with a BUNCH of speculation and maybe some stuff that's more hope than observation
The Sculk Theory, what I know from Cub's POV
Cub went to investigate the fog that was plaguing Evermoore, and ventured into the thickest of it. He was eventually paralyzed with fear and the screen went blue, some sounds were made, and Cub left the forest, accompanied by a temporary change in the pitch of his voice.
Note: the screen went fully blue between scenes.
Cub's ultimate goal is to "Spread the souls, spread the sculk." However, Cub did not care about sculk to that degree before this incident.
Now here's the point I'm trying to get to.
Are Cub and Cub the same person?
Here's the evidence for both sides:
No:
• Biting sounds included at the 6:09 string of noises
• Didn't happen onscreen
• The sound string itself could be something else than what everyone seems to think
Yes:
• Quotes like "As we claimed our newest soul" and "With these two tasks anchored in the mind" imply Cub had ideas placed into his mind
• The fog itself could be the thing that paralyzed Cub, and what's more intense of a "movement deficit" than paralysis? A word I would rather not type, that's for sure
That then begs the question: if Cub and Cub are different, if Cub was replaced by something... where is Cub now?
Elaboration of first No point
First: Biting sounds could indicate a creature biting Cub to gain the ability to replace him accurately (knowledge, appearance, inventory etc), and that would be cool
Going through all the locations on the Empires server, most signs point to one of 6 locations: the Ancient Capital, Dawn, Gobland, the Olipoligo, Skull Fort, or not even teleported at all. (I will get to why I excluded the places I did.)
The Ancient Capital
\ [My former point about The Machine being mysterious, unknown and tied to sculk has been nullified due to watching a clip of Pixl's second episode and finding out it's literally just a sculk farm.]
+ The Machine is still notable though, seeing as it can supply a large, if not infinite amount of sculk, and since the fog is almost definitely tied to sculk, it would most likely sense that such a machine exists.
- However, the Ancient Capital is close to spawn, as well as other people's bases, so if Cub was teleported there, he could be found rather quickly.
Dawn
+ Dawn is far from the majority of people's bases, as well as spawn, making it not the first choice to look for the missing Cub.
- However, it is also far from Evermoore, making teleportation potentially more difficult.
- It is also seemingly very populated, assuming the fog isn't powerful enough to tell the difference between players and mobs.
Gobland
+ The interior of Gobland partially uses soul lanterns for lighting, tying it to the first thing the fog wants to spread.
+ It is underground, not only making it harder to get out of (can't get out easily if you can't see anything, no?), but also giving more hiding places for it to put Cub.
+ Sculk seems to have a moderate connection to fWhip and Gobland, as there is an ancient city nearby, sculk and sculk veins in/on buildings, and fWhip putting a Warden in Joel's base.
+ Gobland, to an outsider, is a somewhat intimidating place, as it's covered in pointed dripstone, making potential search parties either avoid the place altogether or be wary (re: slow)
+ Oli cage stream?? maybe??? has something to do with it???Idk I just searched "empires smp shrieker cage" on youtube
- Like Dawn, Gobland is seemingly very populated.
- Also like Dawn, it's close to people's bases/spawn.
- Gobland has a lot of allies, so people would be visiting more often, therefore more chances to find Cub.
Olipoligo
+ Oli is slightly annoying /j, so people don't tend to stick around for long.
+ The place is seemingly desolate
+ Far from people's bases/spawn
- Olipoligo is small, so a thorough search would not only not take long, there's not many hiding spots.
Skull Fort
+ This place is even more intimidating than Gobland.
+ It's VERY far from people's bases/spawn, as well as Evermoore, making it probable that it would be the last place people would look.
+ It's very dark, tying into the "darkness be upon you" quote
+ Soul lanterns
+ Desolate and (compared to other places) forgettable, where else?
+ Good way to reuse a "one-time" lore area
- VERY far from Evermoore, making teleportation potentially difficult
Bonus: The Hermitcraft Server
+ Completely impossible for anyone on the Empires server to find Cub
+ Puts Cub out of the picture completely, leaving Cub to spread the souls and sculk uninhibited
- Could be impossible to teleport through the rift.
- Hermits who never went through the rift would find Cub and help.
Or maybe, I'm overestimating this fog. Maybe it can't teleport people. Then my entire theory is wrong, right?
No.
Well, not necessarily.
The Warden can burrow into the ground when it needs to. Who's to say the fog can't make the ground open up and swallow a person whole? So:
Buried in Evermoore Woods
+ The fog can guard Cub's location, stalling (or even stopping!) search parties.
+ It has the potential to get others to stumble in and get replaced as well, which in turn would further dissuade search parties in a feedback loop.
+ No teleportation required!
+ This could also explain the sounds as being the ground splitting apart to bury Cub.
+ Really cool plot twist
+ 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦
- The only drawback is that Evermoore, and by extension the forest, would likely be the first place people would look for Cub in.
Why I Excluded Places
Not enough evidence for, or too much evidence against.
Animalia is very populated, near spawn and between people's bases, and it has no points for it.
Chromia is also near spawn and between people's bases, with the only point for it being "Desolate, according to Grian's visit in his POV"
Cogsmead is Near Stuff, as well as near Evermoore (which would add one point for and one point against). The only unique thing it has for it is that there's a lot of mysteries going on around there, so people may be distracted with those.
Eversea is near Evermoore, and has lots of allies (and therefore visits, presumably.) It has Distance From Stuff going for it, as well as Eversea has lots of enemies as well, so Pirate Joe would be too focused on that.
GlimmerGrove also has lots of allies, and is very far from Evermoore (making teleportation potentially difficult.) The only benefit is that its Distance From Stuff
The Sanctuary is very populated, as well as having lots of allies and being Near Stuff. It's near Evermoore, but Sausage did use the Magic of the Sanctuary to construct a cave for the Warden that was put there (by who, I don't know.), which contains both sculk and soul lanterns. (Also the end of Sausage's 16th episode may have some relevance)
Stratos feels like the complete opposite of the Deep Dark. Floating above the ground and full of light. Also it's very populated and Near Stuff. The only benefit is that it can go invisible, allegedly.
Tumble Town is small, near spawn and has lots of allies. However, it is near Evermoore.
Hermitopia, if I even have to say, is Near Stuff, EXTREMELY frequently traveled, and VERY populated. It has no points for it except maybe that it's so ludicrous of an idea that it might just be a good one.
As far away as possible would be another idea, say just somewhere 3 miles positive (on both axis) of Eversea, but one, Cub could stumble back by accident. Two, he could die and be sent back to spawn. And three, someone else could just find him while out randomly!
Other Points
"If Cub was replaced by Cub, why is the POV following Cub?" - Because the plotline just wouldn't work if it followed Cub. The entire comments sections would know and tell literally everyone else. Besides, no one would know what Cub is up to.
Also that as a plot device is overused to hell, even outside of minecraft. Steven Universe, Amphibia, Owl House, Dsmp, Gravity Falls, Name one show made for people above 6 that doesn't have that as a plotline. Please, I want to watch more shows-
But that's just a theory. A- pleasebetruepleasebetruepleasebetruepleasebetruepleasebetruepleasebetruepleasebetruepleasebetruepleasebetruepleasebetruepleasebetruepleasebetrue

Trying to figure out False's lore, specifically in terms of the timeline of events, is a funky task.
Cuz we don't know which False's POV we've been watching (at least up to prolly around the King's vault challenge, from there its Hermit False). So it could've been either we've been seeing the POV of. But the safest is to say that E!False probably went all destructive a bit after one of the two found the rift open (given that False in Ep 35 mentioned that the rift opening was a possibility which means that E!False was still fine before that)
But then there's the weird time stuff with the rift. How was it able to send E!False all the way to the start of Empires 4 months earlier but only have a 3 day difference in time by the time the Hermits are entering the portal.
A theory is that the rift is only linked to Empires (as of now) and time most likely flows differently between the two. So slowly, the difference in time between the two servers would've decreased from 4 months to 3 days.
Although the only problem there is that I'm pretty sure the time decreased was really fast because if Lizzie and Fwhip sent things through from present time in Empires to Hermitcraft, but HC!False claims to have spent weeks working on a cure for E!False so the time doesn't match up.
Ok but maybe E!False was sent in after the two travellers. Which means that the portal somehow glitched out and sent her 4 months into the past instead. But that doesn't make sense because as of Fwhip and Lizzie's episodes of sending their explorers, E!False is already in Empires so that might be a time paradox...?
Of course I'm basing this off of the episode release dates so it's possible that in reality many weeks did pass in the Hermitcraft server we won't know.
But if we assume that E!False had already been going evil, just slowly, then the whole time difference is a possibility. The rift opening only sped up the progress of it all / made it clear to HC!False.
It's probably wrong but we'll just have to wait til another E!False episode to drop to (maybe) find out more.

So I just watched green's latest episode with the rift and the rebellion and what not.
The 1st thing I did after That was search "toy mica jam is nifty" in the YouTube search engine.
Honestly the 1st result I got was a bunch of slime making tutorials and toy reviews so I shortened it to just "toy mika"
Which led me to this video. Don't know if it has anything to do With the rift but if it does it'll be interesting to see how it ties in

okay okay okay hi
now i bet someone’s already said this, but. i was thinking about grumbot.
“MY GRIAN WAS SORRY TOO” now obviously we have no idea what that means but i might have a theory. in scar’s episode we found out he “WAS THE BEST [MAYOR] FOR 5 MINUTES” and obviously we’re all wondering about that too. im kind of thinking, what if thats related? what if, like, grian prime lied to grumbot prime about who won, and when he found out, he killed scar? surely grian would be sorry about that, right? in a similar vein, what if grumbot prime is hels? for the record i know nothing about hels except “evil alternate self” so i cant actually point to anything to back it up but im just. thinking. if anyone has a post where someone put this better id love to see it!!

a reflection on MatPat's plagiarism
Hello, my name is Della, or micer2012, and 2 years ago Game Theory plagiarized three Tumblr posts of mine, making a video that now holds almost 6 million views.
My posts explaining his plagiarism made their rounds on Reddit, Tumblr and Twitter, but despite the Hermits and Pooka commenting on it (generally in support of me or saying they don’t know enough details about the situation to say either way), MatPat and his team have never owned up to anything, and no mention of my name is present on the video. The one Reddit post they made denying it (which was made before my detailed takedown, which they have never responded to (though the mods on the r/GameTheorists Reddit were kind and made sure it stayed up)) didn’t even mention me by name, just referring to me as “a tumblr user”. (Though one of the screenshotted comments in the body of the post does say my name)
This experience was baffling, but it’s overall had a positive impact on my life. r/Hermitcraft gave me a Golden Apple Award (post of the year, 2021). My inbox was filled with excited fans, wanting to ask me questions or pose their own theories, far more than the hate I got. (Though the hate I got from Game Theory fans was VERY funny. I wondered why none of them gave me shit about saying “MatPat misgendered Evil Xisuma” before realizing none of them read that far into the post.)
And getting on a more personal, and much more important note, I met most of my current online friends through this, including my partner. It helped me grow closer with my irl friends as well and gave me an entertaining story that I tell whenever I have the chance. It was one of the first things in my life that really made me feel like my talents, my autistic hyperfocusing and analyzing of things I love, could be valuable. Useful. Exploitable. It blew my mind that MatPat thought an autistic kid’s ramblings about a Minecraft Youtube joke character were good enough to steal. To put an audible sponsorship on. To get 6 million views off of.
And that’s why I’m writing this post, this update years later. As you might’ve been able to guess, Hbomberguy’s Youtube video on plagiarism reopened this wound. It was really hard for me to sit through, it took days of pausing and taking breaks, because I had experienced everything he was talking about firsthand. 
In my 10 page long takedown post, I wrote about how his rewording of my sentences made him say things that were incorrect, just like Filip did. The content farm production style that made big companies like Cinemassacre take one creator (AVGN/MatPat) and turn him and his content into a brand, a voice that reads out scripts by other people with other opinions/theories, is a history shared with Game Theory. What really hit me was Harris talking about how big creators only do this to people they think they can get away with doing it to. How they view their victims as lesser, as not deserving of their words, repackaging them as their own to give to an audience that can gain from hearing them, but deserves better than to have to listen to the original victim.
That’s the thing, I 100% think a video version of my theory to expose to a bigger community than “Evil Xisuma Fans on Tumblr” is a great idea!! Near the end of the video Harris talks about how video adaptations of things could be a great market, even an accessibility tool, and I completely feel that about my posts. I wrote them quickly assuming the reader was someone well versed on Evil Xisuma lore, after not even watching most of the CarnEvil series, and the diagrams I made to explain them are even less comprehensible. Harris makes a joke that I completely agree with, 
“I’m sure some of my videos would do very well if someone translated them into English.”
I don’t think I would’ve ever made my posts if I didn’t have autism, and a special fixation on Evil Xisuma and Hermitcraft. I made them because I felt the character was being done an injustice, and because I wanted to share with other superfans this theory that might explain it away. I do think that MatPat plagiarizing me was ableist. I used to wonder a lot if this would’ve happened if my posts were articulated better, if they had been peer reviewed, if the posts themselves had been spread to a wider audience before MatPat made his video. At one point when the discourse was fresh (before I had the time to write out my 10 page rebuttal), a bigger YouTuber (100k subs at the time) messaged me and started talking on Discord, interested in possibly making a video on the discourse, but I think my style of typing and general enthusiasm drove him away. You can tell by a single look at my blog (or my original 3 posts!) that I don’t usually type like this. This post you’re reading now has been peer reviewed and edited, and took me hours to format correctly. That video could’ve been huge, the entire outcome of this MatPat situation would probably be much different.
I also used to stress a lot about “being the one who ruined Evil Xisuma’s story”. If you didn’t know, to me S8 Evil Xisuma’s story got wrapped up pretty quickly and unsatisfying (in my personal autistic opinion). (though this might’ve been due to s8 being experimental and ending early with moon big) There was no real culmination of the plot points and arcs going on, and I don’t want to blame myself, but when Xisuma said on stream (when the MatPat thing was first going on) that he didn’t want to focus on the discourse or draw more attention to it, it makes a lot of sense to me that he just wanted to wrap it all up as quickly as possible. For a while I beat myself up about it, of ruining the story of this character I love, but it’s not my fault. If anyone’s, it’s MatPats, but I don’t think it’s useful to just blame someone else. That’s how the story ended up going, and that’s fine. This is Evil Xisuma we’re talking about, their inconsistent lore is what made them such an interesting character. And notably, Pooka made an animation with an awesome culmination of Jeff, the Dreamer, Evil Xisuma, and his own sona’s story, and it makes me so happy to watch. Whatever Pooka does is of course his own choice, but I’m glad he got to give this personal story his own ending (if it is an ending, and not just the start of a new chapter!). 
Typing this all out and getting it off my chest has made me feel a lot better. For a while I wanted to make my OWN video essay about Evil Xisuma’s lore and CarnEvil’s lore, actually going episode by episode to explain it instead of just assuming you knew as much about Evil Xisuma as I did. That idea is still not off the table, but MCYT isn’t something I’m that into right now. Maybe if something else comes out about Evil Xisuma I’ll get back on it, but for now I’m fine with letting that go. But I want to make other videos, share other theories and analysis… if I have the freetime I’d love to make YouTube videos, and if I don’t have the time I’ll continue posting to my tumblr and infodumping to my friends. Apparently my infodumping is valuable enough “content” to steal! Writing this out has made me feel a lot better though, I’m really glad I got it out.
If anyone ever wants to talk to me about the things I’m obsessed with, or reach out to me as a source in a bigger discussion about Game Theory or other channels, my inbox is more than welcome :] Thank you for reading! 
Sincerely, a tumblr user.
