Everything was chill back in Hermitcraft 6 (lying)
Then Grian got up to his usual tricks
The name of the game is kill or be killed
No swords no bows no PVP skills
First Rendog found his inner fish
But he couldn’t stick the landing and his bones went squish
Stress flew through the dares with talent and grace
But she didn’t catch the totem and she fell on her face
Then Ren came back with a sinister vice
Tricked X with a race and blew him up twice
Looks like steel beams can’t be melted by slime
‘Cause Jevin didn’t see Mumbo’s tower in time
Stress set a trap at the shopping district
And dropped Scar right into a pufferfish pit
Cub’s stunt got stuck and X felt robbed
So he got a skeleton to finish the job
This is the Hermitcraft showdown of Hermitcraft destiny
Players, mobs, and explosions as far as the eye can see
And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
This is the Hermitcraft showdown of Hermitcraft destiny
Tango and Impulse were shopping at the mall
But the store detonated and it killed them all
Grian had a no-good-very-bad-day
And when he made it back home he got blown away
Then False broke a block and before she could speak
A giant underground explosion sent her into next week
Cleo signed up for a warehouse tour
But she didn’t read the waiver and she fell through the floor
And TinFoilChef went laughing to the grave
Then without another word went back into his caves
Tango’s game was a race against the clock
And Keralis threw an egg at the most explosive block
Now revenge is a dish that’s best served cold
But Bdubs got it boiling as Cleo foretold
And when Joe got the rug pulled from under his feet
He tried to play it cool but he couldn’t take the heat
This is the Hermitcraft showdown of Hermitcraft destiny
It’s 90% explosions as far as the eye can see
And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
This is the Hermitcraft showdown….
In another dimension
With danger abound
Mumbo threw his ender-pearl
But missed solid ground
And Doc had played smart
But Grian played mean
He was dead on arrival,
The trap unforeseen
Then one player remained,
One Dragon Head left-
For the ride of his life,
Iskall auctioned his death
He beat Joe Hills And ZombieCle-o
And every other member of the Dragon Bros:
FalseSymmetry and BDoubleO
And Grian and Mumbo Jumbolio
Also Rendog, Jevin, TangoTek and Cubfan,
Stress, Scar, and X just couldn’t beat the Iskallman
TinFoilChef or ImpulseSV
Doc can rock with blocks but can’t flee
So Grian and Impulse forged a team
And together they built a death machine
With a narrative arc from beginning to end
And a wild surprise around every bend
When the show and the ride were finally done
Our champion knew that his course had run
All that remains from the end of this fight
Is a piece of bloodstained diorite
This is the hermitcraft showdown of hermitcraft destiny
Just way too many explosions - where do they get all that TNT???
And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
welsknight's power went out five minutes before they started
keralis couldn't join and no one noticed for a bit
xisuma fell in lava and almost died in the first five minutes
mumbo had to do the introduction (and he claims he know the least of what is going on)
gem's game was glitching with falling blocks
ren set up the coop caving only to be the only one to die
impulse (skizz's best friend) killed skizzleman as the first kill (not death) in demise
after that:
grian is obsessed with fishing to get a mending book and can't get one in over 4000 attempts when impulse got one in under 20
mumbo dying to phantoms rather than the complicated trap set up for when he came back from afk
iskall's collaborative base
scar seeing the trap cub set and activating it while laughing about how he wouldn't fall for it (and losing all his resources)
stress dying to a trap made for iskall
Bonus: not really wrong but everyone taking things slow except for doc who had a villager trading hall day 1 and then took off to go be doc and break Minecraft

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!
note: my knowledge is centered around North American birds, so sorry if the european ones aren't super accurate
Bdubs: Northern Saw-Whet Owl. He's just a little guy with big eyes. Small and evil, love him
Cub: Common Starling. Skulk like-iridescence, incredibly friendly. Plus, with Cub running the horn store this season, he NEEDED to be the bird that can imitate pretty much any noise it hears
Doc: Bonelli's Eagle. Large raptor found in Germany. It's straight "brow" and hunched posture remind me of Doc
Etho: Common Loon. THE! CANADIAN! BIRD! Despite being "common", their pattern is simply EXQUISITE Plus, it has a red eye! Also listen to the noises these things make, it's literally stock nature sounds all in one bird. Also, I'd put Etho on my one dollar coin.
False: Barn Owl. Very elegant owl, I just feel it suits her, that's all. Very stately posture.
Gem (Season 10 specifically): Great Blue Heron. It's a fisher, it's blue, it's menacing, what more could you ask for?
Scar (Hotguy): Double-crested Cormorant: A waterfowl bc scar did competitive swimming, it's got a slightly funky shape which I feel suits scar's personality. It also has the Hotguy colors!
Grian: Eurasian Bullfinch. Parrot Grian will not reign supreme. Look at that little guy. He's mischievous, he's red, I do not trust him.
Hypno: Stellar's Jay. My provincial bird! I just think both have very chill and cool personalities
Jevin: Lazuli Bunting. Just a little blue guy!
Impulse: American Goldfinch. Black and yellow, need I say more?
Iskall: Booted Eagle. Something about a stout raptor just feels right. Look at that posture. Reminds me of when Iskall tries to copy the brits' accents.
Joe: Turkey Vulture. Although seen as odd or menacing, all vultures are integral to the local ecosystem and are in actuality, very elegant and gentle birds.
Keralis: Boreal Owl. Yes, I did make the two guys with big eyes owls, What of it? LOOK at him. Put a little hardhat on him, put a little hawiian shirt on him. Precious sweet face.
Mumbo: Avocet. It's basically a vibe check and a mustache joke.
Peal: Black Swan. Big 5AM Pearl vibes. Giant, beautiful, protective. Love that for her.
Ren: Giant Kingfisher. Obligatory King Ren joke, it's a South African bird, and it's kinda goofy looking. I think the speckled feathers look like a ruffled fur collar on a king's cape.
Skizz: Golden Eagle. Large, majestic, hella strong, and he's wearing pants :3
Joel: Tree Swallow. Very small, beautiful, agile bird. The swallow's wings remind me of Asian art styles.
Stress: Magpie. GOR-JUS and LOUD. Imagine her next to Iskall (they're very similar in size, bless them)
Tango: Swainson's Hawk. I fought every bone in my body to not make an Arizona Cardinals joke when I already made a Phoenix Coyotes one maybe half an hour before. The Swainson's hawk is on the smaller size, but still a deadly spitfire, which I think suits Tango
TFC: Brown Pelican. A solitary bird, definitely a rare sighting. TFC was always joking about how much he would eat, I thought a pelican was apt
Beef: Barred Owl. MY FAVORITE OWL. I literally call them 'round beefy boys' and they're just so sweet and I love them
Wels: American Kestrel. I LOVE these little guys. Simply the smallest, cutest and beautiful falcon there is. They're about the size of a pigeon. It's just got such a regal posture despite being a little cutie.
XB: Rock Pigeon. Despite being common and seen as a "dumb pest", they are pretty intelligent, there's a reason they were used to carry messages around. They're also a close relation to doves! The green collar also is like the jacket collar on his skin.
Xisuma: Semipalmated Plover. X and Mumbo were both chosen because of how those birds run on the beach. They're RIDICULOUS. This subspecies is exclusively because it look like he's wearing a little helmet.
Zedaph: Firecrest. Just the GOOFIEST little guy I found on the wiki of British birds. Look at that thing /aff. Also, Zed do be blowing up a lot
Cleo: Partridge. Beautiful bird, looks like they want to kill you in your sleep, just like Cleo.
0 FOOL
School Rescue Committee
Should this really be an official school club? The group of Persona-users that I'm in now, whether I like it or not. At least I'm helping people by doing all this weird magic nonsense...
I MAGICIAN
Scar
A fellow Persona-user a year below me, although my senior in fighting Shadows. He's dragged me into his scam crystal-selling operation, which is actually weirdly fun.
II PRIESTESS
Beef
Pretty large and muscular for a priestess, but sure, I'll bite. A volunteer EMT who is trying to decide whether to follow his family's wishes for university.
III EMPRESS
Gem
A fellow Persona-user in my year. She wants me to help her study for entrance exams, apparently. Not sure why she's asking me, I missed an entire semester? But it's good enough study for me as well.
IV EMPEROR
Impulse
A fellow Persona-user in my year. He has a single-minded devotion to overworking himself, despite the fact he seems to be trying to prove it's fine for some reason.
V HIEROPHANT
Xisuma
An older man who hangs out in the local tea shop. Keeps trying to parent me for some reason, although it seems like his relationship with his actual family's a bit less good, so maybe that's why.
VI LOVERS
Etho
My lab partner. The whole school's obsessed with him for some reason. My only solace is that he seems to be just as disconcerted by that fact as I am.
VII CHARIOT
Skizzleman
A fellow Persona-user in my year, and my first friend in this town. I'm helping him find a part-time job. He's sort of ridiculously cheerful, but I know he understands me better than most people.
VIII JUSTICE
Grian
A fellow Persona-user a year below me, although my senior in fighting Shadows. Keeps dragging me into his pranks, although for such a gregarious guy, he's weirdly isolated.
IX HERMIT
Joe Hills
One of my teachers, and the head of the School Rescue Committee. He's, frankly, the most bizarre guy I know, and I don't know what to make of any of the "wisdom" he tries to impart on us.
X FORTUNE
Tango
Apparently, he's a bit of a prodigy in the robotics club, but he first came to me to confess he's considering quitting. I have no idea why this is my problem, but Impulse frowned at me about it, so here I am.
XI STRENGTH
False
A local martial artist who's been decorated with a number of titles. I just wanted her to teach me how to fight better, but apparently, she's starting to doubt her own fighting ability as well.
XII HANGED MAN
Jimmy
Igor's assistant in the Velvet Room. He's a bit of an idiot, but he's also my idiot. Mostly wants to request I escort him to places in the human world, although he wants specific fusions sometimes too.
XIII DEATH
Cleo
A "florist" in town who can source us weapons and fence goods from Altered Space. I'm pretty sure she's actually Yakuza, or at least criminal. She and Joe know each other, although strangely, she doesn't seem to remember from where.
XIV TEMPERANCE
Iskall and Stress
Two priests at the local shrine. I work for them occasionally to help them with odd jobs around town. They share some common past they don't like to talk about.
XV DEVIL
Ren
The student council president. He's bizarrely mad with power on a good day, which is weird, because he's also bizarrely kickable on a good day. Keeps on trying to rope me into the Student Council.
XVI TOWER
Doc
An inventor trying to invent a safe new clean energy source. According to rumors, his last try exploded, killing his lab partner, which constantly makes me question why I'm here.
XVII STAR
Zedaph
Proprietor of the famous local "Mystery Stir Fry Extravaganza". Frankly, his creations terrify me more than Doc's do. I have no idea why this is Impulse's favorite restaurant.
XVIII MOON
Mumbo
A fellow Persona-user in the year below me. Apparently, he still gets bullied a lot, but he has a scheme to, and I quote, 'learn to be something scary, like a horse.' Good luck with that, mate.
XIX SUN
Pearl
An artist that I've always admired. Recently, she was in a terrible car accident, and her hands now constantly shake because of it. I still think she can draw organic shapes better than me, though.
XX JUDGEMENT
Soul Reappearance Committee
Judgement. Hah. I guess you'd call this Judgement Day, sure.
Bdubs: sometimes he feels out of place people tease him and he knows it’s not what they actually think but it gets to much
Cub: doesn’t think of himself as a person just a monster
Doc: hates how he looks intimidating, he hates it when a person sees him and runs off like the air around him is poison
Etho: he sometimes thinks that he isn’t enough that he isn’t needed in hermitcraft after all he can’t even bring himself to take off his mask
False: oldest daughter syndrome she thinks that she has to be responsible or she is worthless
Gem: imposter syndrome she spent so much time looking up at the hermits that sometimes she doesn’t think that she deserves to be there
Grian: he hates that he couldn’t save his friend he hates the fact that he can’t tell anyone about him without wanting to throw up
Hypno: he doesn’t think that he can tell the others about his burdens without them pointing out his wrongs and throwing them in his face
Impulse: he is afraid of himself to a degree as a demon how could he not after all he saw what some of his family did
Iskall: he can see how people try to avoid his mechanic eye and can’t help but think that he looks horrible
Jevin: he is afraid of giving hugs because of his slime body but craves touch more than anything
Joe: he is crazy and he knows that but when it’s just him and his brain he wishes that he wasn’t the way he is
Keralis: tries to comfort everyone but doesn’t take care of his mental state because it’s less important than the others
Mumbo: in a constant place of doubt he doesn’t think what he does is enough
Pearl: when thinks that she is overlooked and wished that people tried to get to know her better because of her not because she was a hermit
Ren: people often treat him like he is a stupid pet and when he out-lashes he is labelled as a horrible person
Scar: he never says when he is feeling pains and to not bother the others
Skizz: doesn’t think he deserves to be here.
Joel: he acts that nothing bothers him but every time someone mentions double life he gets quiet
Stress: doesn’t think of herself as special
Tango: can’t see the beauty in his fire and thinks that he can only hurt
Beef: every time he yells he feels like he is a horrible person
Wels: Never takes off his armour he can’t trust that hels won’t come back
xB: can’t ask for help even when he is about to die he can’t ask for help
X: hides behind the mask to not scare others because he thinks if he were ever to take of the mask people would run away
Zedaph: doesn’t get attached to things often because he had to share thing very often and knows it’s better to never love something rather than loose it later when loved
I've been watching Hermitcraft 10 for a while, as a new person that only got into Hermitcraft 9, mainly because I got into Empires Season 2. I know that a lot of the Hermits weren't that active during Season 9, mainly talking about Iskall, Stressmonster and Etho. So, I never got into certain people.
I've been following the people that I was mainly following in Season 9, like: Gem, Grian, Pearl, Mumbo, Scar and Impulse.
But season 10 has piqued my interest into others and waned my attention a little into 1 person.
So, now I'm watching: Grian, Mumbo, Scar, Joel, Gem and Pearl. Sorry, Impulse, but somehow I don't find your content that interesting anymore and I think it has to do with maybe the interest in your building theme. Which is weird, cause I'm really interested in Joel's theme, which is kinda in the same theme.
BUT! I have found new Hermits!
Iskall : I don't know what it is. He seems precious to me and funny. I've only been watching "behind-the-screen" vods, not his actually hermitcraft episodes.
Etho : Fuck, he is precious and extremely kind. His interactions with everyone is just so lovely and I really love his build.
Xisuma : I have a secret crush on him, this giant doofus. I think it's his voice, his voice is just swoon-worthy. But I don't know what it is, but I can't seem to pay much attention to him when he's talking.
It's not that I hate the other hermits, cause I absolutely don't. But somehow I can't get into their content. Anyhow, this is just my 2 cents, just having a bit of a ramble.
Grian is surprised when Jimmy contacts him, especially since they haven't spoken in years. Back then, Grian was still a journalist who secretly worked with villains and Jimmy was a young adult who got accepted into a hero program...
Apparently Jimmy had become a vigilante instead, and the reason he contacted Grian was because he and his civilian friend Joel were creating an underground fighting ring and they needed workers for the bar above it that functions as a cover up.
He's hesitant to accepts their offer, since he's been trying to stay out of any... Crime "Shenanigans" for the past few years since quiting his job as a journalist, but agrees after they assure him that they just need a civilian worker that won't rat them out to the heroes.
Everything goes well at first and Grian slowly gets to know the other staff members better, that is until he starts to overhear more and more strange conversations between his co-workers, mentioning a strange type of magic that has been causing chaos in the city recently. It sounds awfully familiar to a cult Grian knows from his time as a journalist in Evo.
Grian is determined to stay out of it, ESPECIALLY if it turns out he's correct about the watchers being involved, but he has to at least do something, right?
Or, Grian has to make a choice between his quiet life as a "civilian" and saving his friends. Determined to do both, he tries to influence the watchers games from behind the scenes without anyone finding out, even going as far as creating new secret personas. Too bad the watchers think identity reveals are incredibly entertaining...
!!Masterpost is here!!

Characters
Major characters: Grian, Joel, Etho, Mumbo

Other minor characters: Cub, Zedaph, Skizz, Beef, Tango, Bdubs, Cleo, Martyn, Scott, Impulse, Joe, Iskall, False, Stress
(*still count as major characters, but they r either only relevant during one arc, don't get much screen time, or don't influence the plot that much)
Relationships
The main ones r just.... All of the major chars ig? Like, Grian&Mumbo, Grian&Jimmy&Joel, Joel&Etho, Grian&Etho, Grian&Gem, Grian&Pearl,...
Side ones / only relevant during one arc: Grian&Evil X, Grian&Xisuma, Grian&Scar, Etho&Bdubs, Etho&Doc, Pearl&Scott, Cleo&Scott, Skizz&Beef,...
Theres also some side (friend)ships that im not sure about yet, mainly boat boys and rendoc, since i can't decide whether i wanna make them platonic, ambiguous or romantic 😭 feel free to tell me what u prefer!!!
It gets worse! Scar and Grian have (separately) asked Mumbo for help in confessing their love. Their love for each other. Multiple times. (Shenanigans ruin many would-be confessions)
If they don’t start dating soon, he’s going to pull his hair out. That, or become a hobbit again out of sheer frustration.
“How are they both this oblivious!?”-Mumbo Jumbo, early season 9
(Dangit, 💫 is taken! Does 🌠 anon wok?)
previous ask
Mumbo would start writing love letters if he didn't think they'd be terrible. He'd start leaving roses. He doesn't understand how something so simple can cause him so much grief! Why has this ended up being his job!
Turns out, the easiest solution? Venting to Iskall. Mumbo's trusted, no nonsense buddy that immediately stands up and declares he's going to tell them. No amount of persuading will convince him otherwise, and Mumbo clinging to Iskall's arm also doesn't really help...
They'll find a way to mess this up too, Mumbo's sure of it. But at least it isn't just his problem now!
