Here you’ll find a lot of Hermitcraft/Life series art, and possibly a couple animations. I post from time to time whenever I feel like it, so my consistency changes a lot ^^’
My main blog is @bluejay-flies
I’m obsessed with any and all hermits, but especially Grian, Scar, Pearl, Mumbo, Gem, Cleo, and Joel.
This blog will contain shipping! Probably mostly scarian.

I currently have a Watcher Grian fanfic running! You can read it here: Fight or Flight
Requests are open! This includes short writing and drawing prompts. No promises I’ll finish them, though.
Here’s a list of tags if you’re looking for something specific:
I’m probably never finishing this, but I’m too proud of it to let it sit in the wip bin forever. So I’m posting it anyways because this is my blog and I can do whatever I want! XD
Can you believe this is the fourth year we've been doing this?! And still going strong! I can't wait to see all the cool stuff everyone makes this year!
THE RULES:
1. Any type of fanwork is welcome so long as it features, or is otherwise inspired by, the Hermit of the day.
2. Tag #hermitaday to have your fanwork reblogged, or submit it directly to the blog (Please note that while we recognize the value of fanworks involving more mature themes, and they can certainly count toward challenge completion if you’re keeping track for yourself, content on this blog will be kept “PG-13” so that all may enjoy.).
3. Fanworks for one Hermit posted after the day rolls over to another Hermit’s day (per the US Central time zone) will be reblogged in one big queue in June. Keep an eye on the blog for our daily posts announcing the rollover!
4. Traced or stolen work is NOT welcome. If we discover you have posted traced or stolen work, you will be given one chance to delete it and apologize, or you will be blacklisted from the blog. AI-generated/assisted pieces are similarly unwelcome and will not be featured on the blog.
5. We are not interested in seeing captions or tags in which you disparage your art/skills, and will not be reblogging posts where this happens. We’re all improving all the time. Be kind to yourselves.
6. Technically not a rule, but we strongly recommend adding alt text or description to all images. Click here to learn more about writing alt text - it’s pretty easy!
WHY SHOULD I PARTICIPATE?
To show love to every Hermit, from the most to least subscribed, from those who have been on the server from day one to those who only joined last season! And because challenges are fun! And because we are AGAIN out here for a good cause: we’re running another fundraiser for Gamers Outreach, featuring incentives from seven incredible artists! Learn more about our featured artists here.
WHO’S RUNNING THIS?
Hi! My name is Luna! You can use ze/hir, she/her, he/him, or ro/ros/roseself pronouns for me. My main blog is @as-if-unreal.
I have three additional amazing mods helping me out this year as well: Sky ( @skyspersonalhell ), who uses any pronouns, Ducks ( @a-suspicious-number-of-ducks ), who uses she/her pronouns, and Rel ( @relgnira ), who also uses she/her pronouns!
I WANT TO GIVE YOU MONEY TO PAY YOUR FEATURED ARTISTS AND GET COOL RAFFLE ITEMS FOR FUTURE EVENTS. IS THERE A WAY I CAN DO THAT? MAYBE A WAY THAT INVOLVES GETTING COOL STICKERS OF THE HERMITS?
Wow, what a specific and relevant question! You can buy sticker sheets here! All proceeds go toward the betterment of the event - and, if I may say so myself, our artists did a pretty good job on these stickers.
BONUS DAY PROMPTS EXPLAINED UNDER THE CUT
FAVORITE “ALT” HERMIT - May 4th
HoTGuY and Poultry-Man. Helsknight and Evil Xisuma. Renbob and - look, you get the idea. This server is full of theater kids ready to toss on an alternate skin and play into a brand new character at the drop of a hat. Who’s your favorite alternate character a Hermit plays?
FAVORITE EVENT - May 9th
Something strange and hilarious is bound to happen anytime multiple Hermits play together. What's your favorite individual event that they've gotten up to? Maybe it was the Ghasketball tournament, or the great Perimeter cover-up, or that first fateful time Tango and Zed got together to cook clumsily. Show us!
OUTFIT SWAP - May 14th
What would Doc look like in Cleo’s Life Series leotard? What if Wels and Xisuma swapped their suits of armor? What laundry day mishap could lead Mumbo’s suit to lose its sleeves like Skizz’s? Only hilarity can come from this…
AU (ALTERNATE UNIVERSE) - May 18th
Celebrate your favorite fan AU or show us your own! Maybe you have an idea for what Impulse would look like as a Crystal Gem, what Jevin would be as a D&D character, or what the whole gang would get up to on the USS Enterprise. Or, of course, there's always the classics: superheroes, coffee shops... you know the drill.
FRIENDS OF HERMITCRAFT - May 23rd
There are plenty of shows, podcasts, competitions, other servers, and more woven into the internet ecosystem around Hermitcraft, and plenty more people involved in them. Today is for celebrating all of those who, while they may not be Hermits themselves, exist and entertain in proximity to them.
GROUPS AND COLLABS - May 28th
This month is all about one Hermit a day… but what we really love is when they interact with each other. What does your favorite duo or group of Hermits get up to together?
this and also fanfic writers choosing to write a chapter a year, because they don’t want to write more often than that, or abandoning their works entirely because they lose interest and don’t feel like continuing anymore is also a valid reason, and you’re an entitled asshole if you attack, guilt trip or shame them for it (being sad/disappointed is completely okay and normal, you can’t control how your mind feels and reacts to something, what matters is that you respect the author’s decision and don’t be a dick to them about it).
fanfic writers write for themselves and their own enjoyment. they’re kind enough to let you read their works for free. they don’t owe you any explanation. they don’t owe you the details of their personal lives. they don’t owe you anything.
Anytime someone tells me they like my writing, I’m filled with unprecedented levels of joy. You actually like how I write?? You haven’t been humoring me the whole time?? I did a good job???
I’ve cried over comments before because the validation just feels so good, I’m honored to have such a kind audience <3
What would ya’ll think about a Fight or Flight Discord server? I’ve never hosted a server alone, although I have admined before. Would any be interested? It could be a good way to keep everyone updated, plus just fun!
He sits, as still and silent as a statue, his tense figure softly illuminated by the morning light shining through the open window. Mumbo is curled up beside him, chest rising and falling with each precious breath he takes.
He’d refused to leave Grian’s side, insisting on staying the night with him. He’d shot off a quick message on his comms to whom Grian can only assume is Xisuma, judging by the frustrated look on his old friend’s face. You and I are gonna have a chat with X tomorrow, he’d said, but for now, let's rest. Personally, Grian would rather have looked a thousand enderman in the eye than spend another miserable second stuck in that suffocating room, but one look at Mumbo told him it was best not to argue.
