Having been in that place of “so many long distance friends all in one place!!” A couple of times I just can’t help but feel so much second hand happiness for the cc hermits. You could tell the entire weekend that they were all so giddy - from raising $800k for charity over two days, yes - but also from just being in the same space. Getting to hug and play fight and shoot each other with nerf guns and bringing treats from home for everyone to try.

It just makes you think, you know. I mainly deal with the characters they play, and try very hard to separate those characters from their creators, but at the end of the day all of the love that they pour into their characters and the world they make together is all down to how much they also love each other irl. And good for them, good for them. I hope they had just as much, if not more, time off the clock to just hang out together

I have not been posting because I am still suffering the consequences of burn out. I had a bit of a mental breakdown about it yestersay, but honestly I cannot do much right now to fix this other than to listen to my body and try not to make this worse. I do appreciate some burn out tips if any of you have some. Today I started my new class, and although it's an early class that requires me to go back to my 4.40 am routine it went well. The professor gave me a great first impression, we are 6 people in total so the vibe is very chill and I am looking forward to learn more. I am trying to embrace the excitemenet of the new class as much as I can since as I said I am still not at my best. My goal this week is to try to recharge which means that aside my lecures I won't be studying anything yet, I have a couple of activities planned in order to keep myself busy and hopefully rest my brain, but I am going to do my best to set good boundaries. Take as many breaks as I need, do not force myself to do anything and healthly comunicate this to the people around me. I almost guilt tripped myself into plans that felt like too much and as soon as I realized what I was doing I explained to my ftiend what the situation is and she was very understanding, which makes me feel good because it means that I am surrounding myself with people with whom I can communicate clearly and honestly, and that I am comfortable enough with myself and other people to set the boundaries I need. Lastly in this update I have a goal of being more mindful of my body, because ya kid has backpains again which means I need to do something. The plan is to do stretching exercises every day, go on a little daily walk as many times as I can, and treatin myself to finally getting the armchair I have been thrsting over for years. I need to have a place in my room where I can read in a comfortable position that is not lying on my bed.

Calm hobbit winter activities and productivity:

4.40 am routine

2 hour history of Sabaudian states lecture

Higlighted all the notes I took today

Practiced Irish on duolingo

Stretching exercises

Bedroom organization plan in the hopes of getting my armchair as soon as I can

Calm afternoon chatting with my dad about stuff

You do have to kinda see how from the Hermits perspective, they are just worried and want to make sure everything is okay (when y'know 'are you okay' can be responded to with 'can you be more specific')

Cub is Vex too tho, right? Could he shed any light on anything? Or is he as clueless as Scar was at the start?

Also thinking about the fact that Grian CAN take time alone now, without much inherent worry about safety. That probably feels like a privilege now.

Also also something about can both of them learn to be vulnerable around their friends again after so long not being able to?

-🎀

the hermits' perspective is so interesting, yeah. like, they're just so concerned! they don't know anything! they were missing them so much and now scar and grian are back but they came back Wrong, and the hermits have so many questions! and they want to help! none of it is meant badly. genuinely, they're just worried and doing their best.

(wow, someone trying to do their best only to fail spectacularly. it's like hmtb all over again. cue war flashbacks.)

grian can take some time alone, yes. it's a whole new concept. scar has to remind himself that it's okay. that even if grian is Out There and out of his sight, he's fine. there are respawns and nobody is hunting him and it's going to be okay...

the anxiety still strikes. they still don't tend to be apart for long.

but they can do it.

in the bit i talked about, grian just flies off. which, again, is a new thing! (old-new. re-newed? something.)

... as for cub being a vex. yes. he is. he's the first person to instantly realise grian and scar are mated. he snickers about it to himself. he might make offhanded comments.

he does help scar, though.

he's there for him to talk him through confusing times. his one person to trust despite all the harrowing things they went through. the one to not look at his vex side as something monstrous and strange. the one to understand him even without scar having to scramble to defend himself.

if you wanna know more about cub and scar, go ask link! <333

and yes, scar and grian are going to have a long journey, learning to trust other people again. trying to be accepted for who they are now, and finding their place here. reclaiming their home and their family.

sometimes my life feels like one of those cautionary tales where it’s like “they achieved everything they used to dream about. look at them editing a book in their own apartment with their cat curled up next to them. but they forgot about… The Magic Of Friendship”

Was gonna make a convoluted post talking about Evil X and Worm Man since y'know I like them a lot as evidenced on this blog but to sum it up, as funny and neat as they are as just plain joke characters they really do feel like foils to each other and I really wish that was shown more.

I think I worked too hard for too long trying to fix things with my mom and it kept breaking me down the way it always did and now I feel like a shell of a person because it was a waste it was a waste to hollow myself out and show her the viscera I'm made of and keep hoping keep hoping she'll find something beautiful in it someday

strangers love me better

things I really appreciate about hermitcraft:

I love that the hermits clubbed together to buy tfc a new pc and monitor in 2020, with a massive screen aimed at combatting his migraines and motion sickness

I love that cubfan has Joe Hills twitch emotes as part of his collection. Joe won't sign a twitch contract and can't have his own emotes, so cub just made some for his subscribers to play with on Joe's streams

I love that Keralis keeps sending computer mice and other gear to the other hermits whenever they mention computer problems (because when you own a hardware company, why wouldn't you be your friends' sugar daddy)

I love that Joe has mentioned that grian will resource gather for other hermits off camera in his free time, just because he can

I love that when iskall talked about his hermitcraft downtime, he said that none of the others tried to force him to make a video, they all just popped in and out, offering his various projects they were working on to see if he wanted to join in

I love that the hermits always have lots of advice for each other - whether it be parenting advice for doc, or just in having worked with mumbo since he was 17 and in sixth form college, of talking about tfc's wisdom (and sometimes we even get to learn about tango's washing machine and international taxes)

I love that hermits will take on infrastructure projects, like netherhubs and railways and roads and enderfarms

I love hermits helping hermits

I love stream weekends

I love that some hermits are dedicated enough to neglect their own bases and spend weeks helping out a friend - particularly Cleo, moving into stress' season six castle and Scarland and more to build diorama after diorama.

I love the dedication that the hermits have, and I appreciate how hard they worked for the king arc, the crossover, and the charity stream.

I love the strength of the community when a charity stream comes around.

I love that hermits will rush across the server or panic log in when someone needs help - killing doc's escaped withers, collecting gear, clearing lava after a tactical log out, turning off farms

I love that they offer each other building advice and redstone help (even if it is just scar and iskall being judgy about block choice)

I love scar's first reaction to ever seeing grian in person was 'you're drowning in fans at this convention, I wish I could help you, but we don't know each other yet'

I love Hypno and Joe singing karaoke at minecon in 2012

I love that they do make a wish hermitcraft guests and hermits who can help will be there

I love shared farms and shared resources, and a hermit flying in unprompted to drop off a shulker of that thing you mentioned you needed for no charge

I love hermitcraft as a community
