Hellooo, my name is Grian!

Hello everyone!

Hi, wow, I havent been very frequent in my posting at all, and I'm so sorry for that. I really love this blog and I love the space that has been created around it, and I love the people and stories that have come out of me running it. I still love hermitcraft from the bottom of my heart.

But; Running this blog doesn't have the same sort of spark as it did before. It took and still takes a lot of work to keep up, and I'm about to go into my last year of high school, go to college, etc. I really wish I had it in me to keep running this, I really wish this post was a "coming back" post, but its not. I can't just abandon this blog either, I wouldn't want to sit anyone through the hope that I may come back.

You are all more than welcome to follow me on my main, @i-hate-lyn-island, and any of my other socials to keep in touch! I will remain in the Hermit Askblr discord server, which stays open and free to join to anyone!

So, with a heavy heart,

Goodbye :]

I am proud of what I've completed, and I'm proud of what will continue.

Are you prepared for hot girl summer?

[ask-grian]

… can’t… say. i just… send for help… please… i’m sure this walkie will be confiscated soon.

the button doesn’t click yet. there’s static but under the thick loud static there can be talking heard. shouting. there’s a click and silence for… a bit. then again.

i… im one of the good ones…

- 🟣

what? What do you mean good ones..?

…well, no. I can’t lie, i know percisely what you mean- but whats going…hm. I need to stop asking questions you can’t answer.

I’ll try my best to reach you.

[ask-grian]

- a puff of purple smoke appears in the air just above grian and when it clears there is a purple walkie talkie which falls to the ground and clatters. there’s a hiss and a sharp crackle.

hullo? hullooo? is anyone there? is this thing on?

- the voice is a boyish voice. it’s quiet and loud at the same time. like he’s whispering and shoved the walkie right up to his face.

please… please copy? over.

- 🟣

[there’s a startled screech.]

WHAT IN VOIDS NAME- oh, walkie talkie- GOOD LORD IT SPEAKS- ahem.

[he carefully picked it up. Reluctantly, as with anything…purple. His wings ruffle as he presses the button.]

…..hello? Who is this?

[ask-grian]

the voices

[ask-grian]

Mumbo being a Watcher is old news Grian

...thinking about it I remember now.

I suppose my brain just isn't used to the correlation of "watcher" and "mumbo" in the same sentence unless he's in danger.

[permitoffice]

Can I come out of exile I swear I have my permits

-[ @ask-grian ]

by no means are we paid enough to find your stasis chamber and flip it LOL !!

[ask-grian]

NO ONE GETS PAID WE DONT MAKE ANY PROFIT. Let me out or so help me void

[ask-grian]

Hello Grian-

*THUNK HE HAS RUN INTO SOMTHING*

- @ask-npc-grian

Oh! hi np-

GEE- Woah, hey, watch where you're goin buddy no ones chasing you theres no rush silly-

[ask-npc-grian]

...

Whoops. I didn't see that tree there.

Nope. Nope I never ran into something. It doesn't exist. If I say it doesn't exist enough it stops existing.

Definitely.

[ask-grian]

I don't think that's how-

...You know what, sure.

[He places a tnt at the bottom of the tree, gently pushes NPG away, then shoots a flame arrow at it. Tree gone.]

I don't even know what tree you could possibly be talking about. There was never a tree here.

[ask-npc-grian]

[Npg just watches the tnt blow up with just slightly wider eyes.]

Exactly. No tree. There was never a tree.

...

But say there were a tree, which there is not, what might have been the thing that blew it up?

[ask-grian]

...Oh my dear boy, has no one taught you the wonders of TNT?? The glorious big box of boom....

[He places another block down, this time in front of NPG.]

THIS is TNT! I don't know what it stands for but I'm sure it's something explosion related. Basically, you put it down, light it up, aaaaaand BOOM!

[ask-npc-grian]

Well I'm supposed to build, not destroy.

[Npg shrugs, before looking at the block closely, holding it briefly before putting it back down.]

Sounds dangerous. I love it. I definitely need to figure out how to get it.

[ask-grian]

You can craft it! Its five gunpowder and four sand, I think? Actually it might be in reverse. For sure need gunpowder and sand though. You can also find them in desert temples! But they're rigged so you have to be careful they don't explode you...

actually, that's another way to set them off, with redstone! Pressure plates, buttons, levers... I know theres some sort of duplicator machine you can make but that's Mumbo's department, I couldn't for the life of me tell you how it works.

[ask-npc-grian]

[Npg listens, nodding intently and making a mental list.]

I see! I'll need to start killing creepers then. Sand is easy. And then fire or redstone.

Oh! Do you think I would be able to set it off? Because I'm an npc? And how far away should one be to not get hurt when explodeing it?

[ask-grian]

Hmmm. I think you should be able to? Mobs can set them off so surely you can! You should probably be like, three or five blocks away? It doesn't have an effect if its in the water and it doesn't blow up obsidian, so you can use those as safety I suppose!
