We a podcast about fandom stuff!
https://www.youtube.com/@FanDivePodcast
(we are also on spotify and amazon music but please don't make me share those thinks, they are so long)
lot of shit is hitting the fan rn in the fandom space. For those who need literally anything else, here is a picture of my dog Joey Joseph JoeStar who was given a bow tie after a summer groom
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?
So uh yeah, Redstone and Skulk by @silverskye13 is definitely my favourite fic ive ever read and im totally normal about it. And here's some character designs! :D
We are going to need some specific things yall want us to talk about (like the wedding or the funeral...) and also some more generic qna questions cause we are starting to run low on them
Feed your dashboard by answering my question, blogger.
we aren't a scary game podcast here, but man thinking back on it. why the hell did the game of life force you to have kids? rn the idea of childeren being present in my house? no
Was listening to the leg.gg episode and was hit with the train that was the TacticalSoupcann (ME!!1!!) mention. Very cool! Loved how you went into other members lore as well.
YOU!
Yeah it always feel weird to talk about people who don't make content but it was important to mention the wider DMV happenings because it was a community event and the DMV just wouldn't have happened without the community
On todays podcast I (chaos) talked about how I hand drew a map of extraction on Leg.gg, well i relized I never shared the completed version! So here you go
Working on a prettier one as we speak

Tell me about the bat whisperer doc doodles! I love them, but I'm never quite sure which is which.
I presume you mean these ^ from [this post], though I'll also throw in talking about these two as well since they're all in the same genre:
I try to be consistent with my vsmp bat designs, the only exception being vampire!Doc in bat form I base after a Mexican free-tailed bat, versus Batgundo!Doc is specifically a fruit bat because he's not actually a vampire in that and he's vegetarian. [This post] has my bat designs for the original six vampires and [this one] has everybody who got turned + Louis. Scott is always the big grey-blue one (based off a specific color morph of spectacled flying fox). Cleo is also a flying fox, specifically a great flying fox, so they're always the big orange one with flowers. The little orange one is Shelby (eastern red bat), the light tan one is Pyro (pallid bat), the little red one is Apo (in these she's only in the cuddle pile one, kind of hidden in the crook of Doc's arm next to his forehead) (also the only one not based off of one specific type of bat - hers was drawing inspo from both hoary bats and evening bats), and the darker brown one is Owen (supposed to be a vampire bat, but he's sometimes leaning more brown bat).
I also color code text, like Owen's text is always some form of orange (sometimes tweaked depending on character), Leg's is almost always that sort of periwinkle (Eight gets green though to help differentiate him), Cleo's is usually that teal-green, etc etc. Sometimes I'll also include eye colors to help make it clearer who's who (Cleo's eyes are green vs Shelby's eyes are yellow, for example, or Owen's are orange-brown).
I was the guest on @fandive this week! Where I rambled about MCYT history and my spreadsheet of duo and ship names for an hour. This is honestly just what our VCs sound like.
As a bonus: I can't believe I forgot to bring it up in the podcast but shoutout to my favorite duo name - Scott and Sausage's, which literally features this annotation:
