This adorable baby is the eryoneicus larval stage of a deep-sea lobster. These fuzzy globs of cute float and feed in the water column until they're ready to change into juvenile lobsters and settle on the seafloor. During this stage, they are covered with thousands of tiny hairs, which they eventually lose as they develop into adults. This larva is about five centimeters (two inches) long. You're welcome. 😍
sometimes i think about etho taking his desk setup pic. he must have cleaned so much shit off before taking it because i KNOW that man is leaving crumbs and shit. and so he takes the picture and then stares at it for at a minimum ten minutes trying to make sure nothing identifiable is in frame. and he looks at his STUPID computer wallpaper and shitty mousepad and that fucking tissue box and he thinks. yeah i can share this with the world. I HATE HIM
"side pockets never treat me well" and also when he listed off a bunch of pool styles??? is he into that stuff? or is that just a normal amount of pool knowledge for a guy to have.. guys please share ur opinions im now thinking of etho playing pool in his free time
Hands down my favorite thing about how cc!Grian interacts with the fandom is that he seems equally committed to (1) never dropping another crumb of Watcher lore, and (2) casually inserting cosmic horror at every opportunity. I really don’t think he’s doing a slow burn “Watcher on Hermitcraft” reveal, I think he’s just Like That. Children yearn for the the mines and Grian yearns to be a non-denominational eldritch horror.
Gem: I did see my favorite hate comment ever today though? I-I think it might be my fav-my favorite hate comment. And--it-it was that I'm turning Hermitcraft gay. (she laughs) It-it gave me a-a very good laugh. It--they, they meant it as hate, so genuinely, but I did not take it that way.
Gem: Like--(giggling) I. Find myself in situations so frequently, where the men are roleplaying kissing each other, and if I could stop them, I would, okay. I would be more homophobic, I would stop them! I can't! They keep going, I (through laughter) I don't know what it is.
Gem: But it's not me, it's-it's th--nobody's holding a knife to them right now and making them do that. (laughs)
Gem: They're just like it. I don't-it's not me. (laughs) God, it was one of my favorite comments I've gotten. I-I immediately sent it to Grian. (laughs)
Gem: (eight seconds of silence) I'll take credit, if I-if somebody has to take credit, I can. (laughs) But I don't think, I don't think it's me. (five seconds of silence, then, laughter) Entry (? she says a Twitch chatter's name here) thank you for the twenty-three months, I haven't, but I'll look into it. I have heard--well, I've heard of Project Hail Mary, actually--
Gem: I should read that, I have heard a lot about it. (six seconds of silence, then reading a comment) "It's not you." Yeah, I don't think it's me, unfor-the men are just like that. They-they're-they-they're like it. Already. I don't know. They-they came like it. I didn't--it wasn't season eight that that started.
hey, don't cry, a Minecraft SMP raised over 1 million for charity
On April 17th and 18th 2026, the Hermitcraft SMP raised over 1 million dollars for the Gamers for Giving charity as part of the Gamers Outreach weekend!
What's Gamers for Giving or Hermitcraft? I'll tell you.
Gamers for Giving is a charity dedicated to giving video games to kids in long-term hospice. This sounds like a trivial matter, but these kids are often spending long days just lying in a hospital staring into space bored out of their minds.
All day. Only broken up by the nurses or doctor coming in. If you've spent time in the hospital as a kid for a broken bone, you know how boring that stay was.
Gamers for Giving ensures that these kids have a better hospital stay, by allowing them to access mobile video game consoles. (Also, it gives doctors and nurses an easy-to-access break too!)
The consoles look like this!
Hermitcraft SMP is a long-term Minecraft server made up of a variable of 22-28 members per season and has been going on, continuously, for fourteen years!
And before you draw the wrong conclusions, this isn't the Dream SMP reskinned (well, first off, Hermitcraft came first). The Dream SMP was a heavy role-play server where the oldest was wasn't even 30.
While some members of the SMP have their own separate little arcs, the only server-wide role-play event on Hermitcraft was 'moon big', where the moon crashed into Earth. And many of its members are over 30, with both Gem and Mumbo recently hitting it!
(A memorial and acknowledgement goes to TFC, or Tinfoilchef, who passed away at the start of Season 9 and was the oldest member at over 60 years old).
They're incredibly wholesome and make a concentrated effort to be family-friendly across all members, and each of the members are friends with each other- as proven by the charity streams!
That's them! They have their own theme music, logo, and banner!
The Gamers Outreach charity weekend also included a LAN party prior to the weekend, which the Hermits were part of in 2024 (this is their 4th year doing this!). The Hermits broke both GO and their own 2025 records with just the charity alone, and had an online auction house helped pad it!
Now, obviously, the charity weekend had to be well worth the 1 Million+ dollars. So, what happened?
Day One (in order):
- The Silly Games, hosted by Grian and Ollie TheOrionSound
- Donation reading #1 (readers slowly get clothspinned all over)/In-Person Peardle hosted by Ollie TheOrionSound and Pearlescentmoon
- Buy-A-Sign, hosted by Tango [audience could donate to have their names on a sign on the Hermitcraft Season 11 server, which was turned into a competition]
- Donation reading #2 (Readers get systematically fed mini marshmallows while reading)
- Blood on the Clocktower Live, hosted by Cleo and Martyn Inthelittlewood
- Donation reading #3 (Readers get taped up while reading)
-Q&A, hosted by Rendog and Mumbo
Day Two (In Order):
- Minecraft Championships, aka MCC: Hermit Takeover! Hosted by Scott Smajor and Noxcrew
- Music Room break
- Taskmaster, but it's Hermitmaster hosted by Gem and Grian, which gave us the following three delightful images:
-Donation Read #4 (Readers get accosted with bubble machine guns while reading)
- Peardle, hosted by Pearl and Ollie TheOrionSound
- Mystery Hermit, hosted by Zedaph
- Music room break
- Peardle, hosted by Pearl and Ollie TheOrionSound
- Blindfold Bingo
Throughout both days, Jono (Rendog's brother) kept a continuous stream of the music room that the stream occasionally cut back to, which featured delights such as Brian's Season 8 Timelapse music 'Work', Wonderwall, Time of My Life, and a drum battle between Skizz and Impulse (but one of them was on a toy drum set and the other on a real drum set).
It's one of the Hermitcraft community's most looked-after event, and next year promises an even greater record break and even more fun! Even if you can't donate, your viewership on Youtube or Twitch alone helps a ton- in short, stay tuned for Gamers Outreach 2027!
