Looking back over May, I am so proud of myself for not only completing this challenge, but drawing every entry in a different style. I learned so much in just 31 days and exercised artistic muscles I forgot I even had.

I want to say thank you once again to the organizer of Hermit-A-Day May ( @as-if-unreal ) and the artists who pledged their time and effort to provide incentives for the Gamers Outreach fundraiser ( @rendiggitydog and @belmarzi ) as well as everyone else who helped run this project.

I also want to say a huge congratulations to everyone who participated in the Hermit-A-Day May challenge for raising a total of $1,222.00 for Gamers Outreach.

Thank you for helping the kids and thank you for enjoying my art!

Ok so I LOVE the Vault Gods and I'm already going crazy from the Hermitcraft Vault Hunter series, so here are my headcanons for which of the participating hermits will find favour with which gods, and why. This has nothing to do with their play styles btw this is entirely guessing based on vibes:

BdoubleO100 - Clock boy will worship clock god. Wendarr loves time. Can't wait to see him build a temple to Wendarr outside the vaults.

EthosLab - Tenos. The man is a loot goblin and the promise of treasure will be irresistible to him. This also makes VH! Bdubs and VH!Etho into Loot&Scoot

FalseSymmetry - I was originally going to say False would go for Idona but I actually think False is more of a Velara kind of gal?

Hypnotizd - I'm feeling Idona for Hypno. Seeing him in the first vault he was so focused on Killing he completely missed mining up four different ore POIs... in part because he didn't know they were treasure!

iJevin - Speedrunner go fast. Wendarr.

ImpulseSV - I watch Impulse a lot but I'm finding him hard to pin down! Currently thinking he might be drawn towards Idona for the shard shopping? Or maybe Wendarr because yellow.

Iskall85 - In his other SMPs Iskall usually seems to be drawn towards Velara I think, but here he seems more Wendarr or Tenos aligned? Maybe it's just because he's using the early episodes to help his friends find their footing with the vaults and the gods? But let's be real - Iskall is too ingrained in the vaults themselves to fully belong to any one god over the others.

JoeHills - I feel like Joe is incredibly Wendarr aligned already, not least because of his philosophical musings on the way time passes differently in vaults.

Rendog - Do you think Rendog the bloody handed king will be able to pass up the worship of a god like Idona? For real? Like Bdubs, I expect to see a temple built outside the vaults.

StressMonster101 - Stress is giving either Velara or Idona vibes to me, mostly because of Muscle Vaults I think. Either health or strength, you know?

VintageBeef - Beef is building a battle royale arena for his card game on hermitcraft, so his friends can fight to the death to get better cards instead of buying them from him. Idona.

Welsknight - Wels has played Vault Hunters before, and is always asking questions. I feel like Tenos is the knowledge god? So Tenos to me.

xBCrafted - XB went in to the first vault with no healing? Velara worshipper already if you ask me.

Xisumavoid - X took time in the first vault to gather blocks for his base, both at the beginning and at the end of his run. This is SUCH a Wendarr move to me.

wolfeei posted hypothetical exclusively hermitcraft + lifesteal block wars teams and i thought "wow that's a great idea I should do that ive been invested in both of those servers".

note: the combined rosters of HC and LS are over 40, which is the block wars player limit, so a bunch of people ended up excluded. this is also not an entirely realistic list and mostly just I'd like to see. anyway

SCARLET: falsesymmetry, goodtimeswithscar, pangi, reddoons, rendog

return of renfalse in events! im remembering something red said the other day about his morale/confidence in events being very influenced by his teammates' attitudes & i think ren's inspirational speeches and scar's nonchalant attitude would be a big help with that.

ORANGE: docm77, ijevin, mapicc, poafa, roshambogames

i just think jevin would match the mapicc and roshamenergy. poafa is here bc i think poafa and mapicc in an event together would be fun. doc on thsi team because i was running out of options he wouldnt get scared off if mapicc was mean

GOLDEN: baconnwaffles0, bdoubleo100, geminitay, planetlord, princezam

i really want bdubs + zam (bc of like. twitter), and then i realized planet and bacon would be really fun here, and i think gem would ALSO have fun. so

LIME: cubfan135, ethoslab, mrcube6, rekrap2, vintagebeef

i once watched a minecraft among us stream that fundy showed up to ENTIRELY because etho would be there and he wanted to meet etho. so I propose mrcube, lifesteal's redstoner, with etho, the father of MCYT redstone. cubfan was teamed with cube during the ESPN x games event and they worked well together, so I included him as well. rek was on that team also & is friends w cube so he makes sense. beef is here to have fun and hang out w etho

TEAL: ashswag, joe hills, xisuma, yeahjaron, zombiecleo

the 3 hermits were a little HHH trio for a long time and they were a lot of fun; I think jaron would match their energy well. ash is here because i think hes interested in politics to some level and might be able to match some of that energy. they would NOT win but they would be a lto of fun

BLUE: impulsesv, mumbo jumbo, parrot, pearlescentmoon, spokeishere

spoke being 1 million and mumbo jumbo in the same call would be really funny to me idk what to tell you. 3/5 hc8 boatem + parrot and spoke is an entertaining concept

PURPLE: hypnotizd, itzsubz, vitalasy, woogiex, xbcrafted

vitalasy and subz together bc there would be no way subz would ever participate in block wars otherwise. i think these guys could gel in a call together

FUCHSIA: iskall85, leow0ok, midmysticx, spepticle, stressmonster101

i miss iskall and stress ok! i think mid and stress would get along, and spepticle would be silly and add a bit of extra fun (or confusion). i think iskall and leo would do a lot of the heavy lifting on this team but itd be enjoyable to watch

NHH 2022 Day 16: Allium Assurance

Link to the challenge Today’s Word is: Trick or Treat Flowers Characters: Stress, Jevin, various other hermits in minor roles Season: HC 6 Other tags/warnings: Vampires, Word Count: 803

Summary: Garlic flowers are well known for warding away vampires. No one knows of any vampires on Hermitcraft... so why is Stress so keen on packing her ice castle full of the flowers?

-

Stress waved Jevin inside. "Is that everybody who's coming?"

"I think so, yeah."

Stress led Jevin to a sizable room deeper in her castle, decorated heavily with purple glass and allium flowers, where Xisuma and Joe waited and Doc paced.

"This must be everyone," Doc agreed anxiously. "Whatever's killing us even took down Falsie with barely a fight! How many of us could possibly have gotten away?"

"There are a few hermits who didn't feel the need to come here for security," Joe replied. "Tango and Cleo, of course - Jevin, I'm surprised you dropped by, although of course there's nothing wrong with that - and then Zedaph, TFC, and Iskall have all found safety in their own homes."

"I fink Iskall's comin' here, actually," Stress corrected.

Joe perked up. "Oh that's fantastic, then! Hopefully he makes it here with all his blood where it's supposed to be."

"Yeah," Stress answered absently, poking through some chests. "Better 'ere than goin' for somebody else, that way I can deal wiv 'im."

"Wait," Xisuma realized. "You said deal with him?"

They were interrupted by an angry hissing near the door - not the single rush of air of a creeper, but something harsher, somehow both more human and completely inhuman.

"That'll be 'im, then. Ah!" Stress finally found what she was looking for: a wooden sword. "Right, I'm going out there."

Jevin eyed Stress's choice of weapon skeptically. "Do you... want some backup?"

Stress unfastened her allium flower crown and looped it around her neck. "I got a handle on this, fanks! You can come along if you want, though, seein' as I don't fink 'e'll go for you. Here, hold this."

Jevin took the allium offered to him. "Uh. Okay."

Stress strode out to the entrance of her castle. There, the two of them saw... Iskall.

He stood at the doorway, not approaching further. His right eye was red, and there was a reddish glow behind the diamond in his left. As Stress came closer, Iskall bared sharp fangs.

"Iskall is a vampire??" Jevin blurted.

"Yep." Stress walked right up to him. Iskall made a motion as if to lunge, but halted some distance from her neck. Stress rolled up her sleeves, showing off another allium tied around her right wrist like a bracelet... then plunged the wooden sword directly into Iskall's heart.

Iskall let out another hiss as he vanished. Stress breathed a sigh of relief and returned her allium necklace to her head with a pin. "An' that's that. I hate to do it, but sometimes 'e just gets like that."

"What." Jevin stared, dumbfounded. "What just happened. What about the other hermits?"

"Oh, now that the vampire what drained 'em is dead, everyone will have the chance to respawn normally," Stress explained. "Includin' Iskall himself. 'E'll feel kinda hungover an' probably really guilty, but 'e'll be actin' normal again for a while."

"How did you know that... any of this would work?"

Stress laughed. "Are you kidding me? Wiv how long I've known Iskall? This ain't the first time this has happened. It's 'alf the reason I keep so many alliums around, besides the fact that they're pretty. Gotta be careful when you're neighborin' a vampire!"

[hermitcake]

Assumption on false x stress?

you get easily flustered and probably believe in love at first sight, you have a lot of ideas for various AUs, you have a good fashion sense

[mayflowers07]

Sam: so start any more wars on your server?

Doc: no, whenever there is a conflict though I’m always playing the villain

Sam: yeah you’re definitely the evil cousin between us haha. I’m one of the good guys on my server… except maybe when I held Ranboo’s kid hostage and then killed him

Doc, whose most “evil” act was a rap battle:

—————

Sapnap: okay so you can’t ask questions but I need to get revenge on someone for something what should I do

Tango: well that depends how bad you want them to suffer and whether or not you’re willing to deal with ravagers, but we have about thirteen different options regardless

Sapnap: …you’re the coolest big brother ever

Tango: tell me something I don’t know

—————

Dream:

Xisuma:

Dream:

Xisuma:

Dream: Dad-

Xisuma: I think the fuck not, get disowned you lil’ shit

—————

False: oh hey Stress, what are you up to

Stress: nothing really just sending my niece a care package

False: that’s nice that’s really swe… are those elytra

Stress, very clearly about to illegally ship Hannah a pair of elytra: …no

—————

Grian: no I’m not adopting you I barely know you and you’ve done nothing but antagonize me

Tommy: okay that’s fine. Of course no one would want me, I’m broken and awful and everyone always leaves me in the end

Grian:

—————

Las Nevadas: *just chillin*

Jevin: hi, I’m Jevin. I heard my cousin Slimecicle lives here now? I wanted to visit, i haven’t seen him in decades. How is he?

Quackity: …well fuck

—————

The Hermits: and that’s Philza, the Angel of Death, he’s as old as time itself, he watched continents shift around him, he has existed long before us and will live long after-

TFC: oh that kid? I remember him, I trained him forever ago when he was younger and I had just retired

The Hermits realizing how old TFC is: Oh. My. God.

[redorich]

to those who carried on

A fic for @petrichormeraki​ and their Hermit!Tommy AU.

-------

The hermits know Tommy as a quiet young man who is very sad and contemplative. The more time they spend with him (against his will, but they know he needs the company) the more they learn of the little details. His favorite block is cobblestone, he likes building towers, and apparently his favorite woman is the Queen. They don’t ask why he wears a smiley mask even though he never seems happy. They don’t ask why he hides important things in his ender chest. They don’t ask why he wears a shattered compass on a chain about his neck.

(Once, he died in lava and lost his absolute mind. He was so upset about the compass that he didn’t even mention the stack and a half of diamond ore he had on him. Xisuma ended up manually rolling back the server just so Tommy could have it back.)

As time goes on, the tremors in Tommy's hands grow lesser. His dull blond hair seems a bit brighter, his bruises fade quicker, he doesn’t look quite so skinny-- he spends his time serenely building, resource gathering instead of running and fighting. He has a sense of humor under all that trauma, which the hermits unfortunately find out after another massive-scale prank war thought to be instigated by Grian actually turns out to be Tommy's fault.

Tommy starts swearing more. Doc gets the stink eye from Stress for this, but Doc insists he’s never once sworn around the young man. (That’s an absolute lie, but it wasn’t anything Tommy hadn’t heard before. Tommy thinks Doc is remarkably unoriginal in his cursing. He does take note of the German ones, though.)

Inviting Tommy to PvP minigames can be touchy, they learn. He likes to fight, but he fights like an animal with nothing to lose. Grian once chanted, “It stays in the pit!” and everyone present had to spend the next five minutes wrangling Tommy’s soul back into his body from wherever it’d floated off to.

Tommy likes to glide with his elytra. He claims he’s never had one before, but he flies like such a natural that a few people have their doubts. On a dark desert night, with dark blue eyes watching the night sky, he confides to Cub that it reminds him of the way his dad used to fly. He hates rockets, though. He does not confide to Cub that it reminds him of what his brother did to his best friend. He says enough that Cub can guess, though.

Scar gets fed up with Tommy’s creeper holes and makes Tommy help him fix them. At first, Tommy has no clue why Scar is breaking out things like coarse dirt and birch leaves and making the ground all fancy, but he’s not afraid of a little hard work and Scar makes it fun. He learns a lot about terraforming that day, and awkwardly comes back a few days later asking if Scar needs any more help terraforming. Tommy still hasn’t built a real base, not by Hermitcraft standards, but the small hill he’s built his dirt hut near now has a very beautiful, if amateurish, waterfall. He doesn’t tell Scar about this, but Scar finds out anyway. Tommy wakes up one morning to find that someone has left a shulker box in his house. Instead of iron-gripped paranoia, he just feels wonder that someone would give him a gift-- to the hermits, a single shulker box is nothing. To Tommy, it’s everything.

The shulker box contains coarse dirt, birch leaves, and a silk touch shovel.

Tommy helps Xisuma mine a giant hole in the ground near bedrock, because he realizes that he’s never thanked the admin for getting him his compass back. Well, that and the fact that instamining with a haste two beacon and an efficiency five pickaxe is a novelty. Xisuma lets him keep the cobble, since everyone knows it’s Tommy’s favorite block, but also insists he keep some of the other blocks like andesite and diorite. He pats Tommy on the head and tells him to talk to Bdubs about building a house some time. Tommy nods. He's taken aback by how tall Xisuma is, completely contrasting his mild nature. He reminds Tommy of Wilbur, on one of his good days before... Before. Not Ghostbur, though-- the admin is much too alive.

Tommy waits too long, so eventually Bdubs comes to him. The man is silly and outrageous, playing everything for laughs and unexpectedly tender. Bdubs plays up how beautiful he thinks Tommy’s hideous dirt shack is, then offers to help him build a house that’s better. For Tommy, building a house means settling down, accepting that this is his home now. Bdubs doesn’t know this. Tommy builds cobblestone dicks while Bdubs tries to lecture him about depth and block variation. Nothing gets done and Bdubs feels like he might have failed, but come next week Bdubs is flying over the area and sees the dicks are gone; so is the dirt house. In its place is a spruce-and-cobble cottage nestled near the tiny waterfall. Off to the side, he’s made a cozy doghouse for his fox, Theo. Bdubs doesn’t know how close that fox came to being named Fundy.

He spars with False, and she very pointedly does not mention how his stances are uniquely suited to a piglin. There’s only one renowned fighter who’s a piglin, after all. It's Tommy’s story to tell, if he ever does, why he’s seen enough of the legendary Technoblade’s fights to pick up on his stances, yet he’s not experienced enough to know that they don’t suit him. Instead, False gives him different stances suited more for tall, skinny people like the two of them. She’s got blond hair and blue eyes just like him. (Not that she’d know. She’s never seen his eyes, hidden behind his mask as they are.) Every now and then, he imagines her as an older sister, and the one time he says so, she smiles. When Tommy’s at home, looking at his own distorted reflection in his waterfall (he’s improved it since he built it), he muses that their eyes aren’t the same, their hair colors are subtly off. It’s close enough, he thinks.

Stress dies from fall damage and Tommy goes out of his way to pick up her stuff, because the hermits do these things out of the kindness of their hearts. The thought never even crosses their minds to steal. It crosses his mind. He doesn’t do it. Stealing from Stress would be like stealing from Niki.

He shows up at Cleo’s base unannounced and demands to see the “cool shit”. He is appropriately enthused by the giant armor-stand-bugs. She tries teaching him her armor stand magic, but it doesn’t really sink in. It’s okay, she assures him, most people don’t have the knack for it. He does, however, learn that buttons make excellent decorations. He also learns how to braid hair, bribed by ice cream. He is terrible at it, to the point where Joe has to come by to help the two untangle her hair so Tommy can start again. Watching the two bicker over capitalism and six million armor stands and a whole host of other inside jokes he doesn’t get, he thinks he’s starting to understand what friendship is supposed to be like. Joe and Cleo don’t see him clutching his compass. He and Tubbo weren’t too far off from this, given their circumstances. Maybe...

Maybe Tubbo can be forgiven.

Tommy makes minigames of his own, ones that don’t just kill you and steal your stuff. He builds things that are pretty instead of just functional, brews potions with Stress and only calls them drugs once (again, upsetting her is like upsetting Niki. Best not done), and sets up chicken bombs above people’s bases instead of just lavacasting them. (As Grian saw the hundreds of chickens slowly raining down upon his mansion, he got such a peculiar look on his face that Tommy feared he’d fucked up. The shorter, stronger (much stronger oh god why is he so strong despite being so small) man nearly crushed Tommy’s lungs in a hug, proclaiming how proud he was of Tommy. Tommy was proud of himself for not accidentally murdering Grian out of reflex. Was this what healing was like?)

Yes. It is what healing is like. Tommy knows this because that wound gets ripped open again. Tango shows him how to build the most obnoxious redstone-powered noise machine the two can think of. Tango digs a small pit, and asks Tommy to throw down his axe. Suddenly, Tommy’s in Logstedshire again; it’s not Tango asking, it’s Dream. His hands don’t shake when he tosses his axe into the pit, followed by his sword and his armor. It isn't until he’s placed the TNT down that Tango grabs his wrist and asks him what he’s doing. Tommy’s eyes clear enough that he can see past the blond hair and freckles. Tango isn’t green, he’s red. He's shorter than Dream, and his worried eyes are unhidden. Tommy shudders, then tells Tango everything.

Tango has no pity for Tommy, just understanding and sympathy. He doesn’t push Tommy to talk about it, but when Tommy’s done telling his story, Impulse and Zedaph show up. They all pretend that Tommy’s voice isn’t hoarse, that they all didn’t conveniently happen to look away when Tommy took off his mask just long enough to wipe his eyes. The men bake a cake together, fool around with honey blocks, and don’t talk about it.

Tommy knows very little about redstone, considers himself more of a builder and a fighter than an engineer. Still, Mumbo’s living base is inspiring, and Tommy often hangs around the man’s industrial district just to watch Mumbo work. Mumbo knows that Tommy hasn’t purchased a day pass, but it’s nice having someone around to talk to while he works. It’s not like Tommy is stealing anything. (Tommy totally steals from Mumbo’s industrial district storage system. The man’s farms are so efficient that he doesn’t even notice, so Tommy assumes it’s fine. What Mumbo doesn’t know won’t hurt him.)

Lava still isn’t his favorite thing in the world. He stays far away from it, instead of imagining what it would be like to hurtle towards it. Ren doesn’t really notice this, but he does notice that Tommy doesn’t seem to like his mustafarian base. On a spur-of-the-moment whim, Ren whips up some absurd plotline in which he is a lone weary traveller seeking refuge at Tommy’s base from strange alien overlords. The two have fun together, and the young man cracks more absurd jokes about it than the hermits have ever seen him do. When Ren leaves a week later to return to his own base, Tommy keeps being absurd, if a bit more subdued without someone to play off of. He builds a shrine to the “prime log”, which grows more elaborate each day. Beef and xB pretend to be his acolytes, despite having no clue what a “twitch prime” is.

They can’t see his face, but the smile in his voice is a far cry from the despondency he once wore like a heavy cloak. He is so much more animated and alive, full of motivation. He builds an entire island in three days, and hand-delivers an invitation to each and every hermit for his beach party. Everyone shows up, even those with packed schedules (Iskall) and those with introverted tendencies (Etho). Tommy is nearly moved to tears when they show up in groups of twos and threes, as though he hadn’t expected anyone to come. There aren’t enough chairs for everyone, but there is more than enough cake to go around. Tango brings drinks, Impulse brings meat to barbecue, and Zedaph makes an elaborate jump-powered grill. Keralis brings way too much confetti and several handfuls of cheap, obnoxious party noisemakers. Stress brings Tommy a crown made out of alliums. It shines far less than his brother’s gold crown, and it’ll die in a few days, but he wears it all night and keeps it in his ender chest until it withers away.

He spends five days teaching himself to make flower crowns. Even his best attempt is awful, nowhere near as pretty as the crowns Stress makes, but when he gives it to her, she takes off the one she was wearing and wears his until it falls apart.

He dies fighting a creeper on Grian’s behalf, and doesn’t even panic, because he trusts that however many times he dies, no matter how stupid or ignominious or revolutionary or important, Xisuma will always let him respawn.

He spends a grand total of nine diamonds to buy a single plot of land in the shopping district. He builds a cute little bench facing the sunset, with warmly glowing street lights on either side and a small garden. At the end of the bench he places a jukebox, and buys every single disc that Beef’s music shop sells, including Pigstep. He sits on the bench while Mellohi plays and watches the tiny silhouettes of his friends flying in the evening sky. Tommy looks alone on that bench, even if he seems happy, so sometimes other people stop by to sit with him. Scar declares the bench area a public park, since everyone likes it so much, and refunds Tommy his nine diamonds straight from the throne.

Idea: The girls regularly drag Evil X away for “spa torture” as Evil X calls it, which includes things like painting their nails and giving them a bubble bath. Afterwards, they force them into a fuzzy onesie that matches the theme of Xisuma’s armor and wrap them up in a blanket and Stress makes hot chocolate for everyone. As much as Evil X pretends to hate it, they have to admit that they really love it and look forward to it every season.

Also the “spa” is open to the other hermits, free of charge. Evil X just likes to play this game with the girls where they act all tough and cold and the girls have to take them to task. This time, they have two more wonderful helpers.

For Eret I think they would vibe most with Stress, Bdubs, Scar, and Cub weirdly enough. Stress because she is basically their self appointed mother. Bdubs because I feel like they would take the chance to learn as much as possible from him. The same goes with Scar as well as them feeling kinship with Scar as a leader and just because I feel they would get along so well. Cub I'm not exactly sure why, but I just feel that they would be good friends.

For Technoblade I feel that Grian, Etho, False and Doc would be the people he vibes the best with. Grian because of the mutual simpage those two have going on. Etho because I remember seeing a post that said Etho is Technon if his retirement arc was successful and because the two socially awkward nerds would just vine together in silence once they are friends. False and Techno would be sparing partners and they would have a friendship built on mutual respect for each other. With Doc I feel like they are very similar to each other both being big scarey mobs with a heart of gold and a affinity for violence.
