Standard DNI criteria
if you're a TERF, racist, acephobic, ableist, homophobic, main porn blog, ddlg, truther, etc.
Please note all bases came from nominations. The idea of the poll is that builds are ranked on both beauty and function for defense and offense. Iconic-ness, story, and emotion weight are not factors. It’s more fun for everyone if this is actually a poll for best base and not a popularity contest.
Which is the best base?

Pearl's DL Tower
Propaganda:
"Everyone went there when their lives were in danger, and it worked really well. I’m pretty sure Martyn even said that it was easy to defend by design."
"It was so prettyyy! It was made out of nonflamable materials at the bottom so it wouldn't be a daylight to arson and was topped with a cute little room. It was visually amazing and pretty defendable. Multiple people hunkered up there in a sea of red and lived to tell the tale (of that)."
"Arguably the one of the two most defensible bases in the whole series. People who didn't even like Pearl were trying to hide in it. It was completely non flammable at the bottom and the single ladder meant no one got up there that Pearl didn't want there, making an invasion impossible. Even when the bottom blew up, the top was completely functional. Also, it was good appearance wise because it looked exactly like what Pearl wanted it to, which is a rickety tower swaying in the wind"
"#baby it’s the tower#it’s highly defensible it’s good for offense because there was only one way up that Pearl good use to hit people off (and did)#and it looks great"
The Crastle
Propaganda:
"I love the crastle and its inhabitants so much, it took 30 stacks of stone, dark oak and a ridiculous number of episodes to build. it straight up k i l l e dbdubs! it's such a pretty build (shout out to cleos witchcraft series) and people are right when they say it's functional to an extent. it survived not one but TWO tnt flying machines. oh yes and THE word of the series: crenellations (nevermind the fact that everybody was using the word Wrong)
hmm crenellations..."
"It’s got a pretty but simple design, its spot is easily defendable, and it has CRENELLATIONS!!!"
"The single most defensible base in the whole life series. People tried and failed to invade it. And it looks good!"
"#it looks amazing and IT WAS FUNCTIONAL#IT WAS ACTUALLY A GOOD DEFENSE AND EVEN AFTER THEIR DEATH PEOPLE USED IT"
#actually not biased obviously crastle cmon#it was one of the last kinda intact builds standing the apocalypse phase"
"#the crastle is i believe one of the only bases in the entire series that was still standing by the end of it#no yeah i just thought about it i think it straight up definitely is unless im missing something"
"#The Crastle was pretty damn well defended and a decent build for what it was. cute too"

another instance from hermitcraft season 2, which btw bdubs never was on at all and this was after they both left mindcrack and were mostly not playing together often if at all. so he's just dunking on bdubs for no reason unprompted by anything except the word string
I thought it looked a little too castle-y on my first try, so I re drew it with less emphasis on copying the style of my ref, and then looked more into mud house architecture.
It's 2031, and Hermitcraft Season 15 has just started.
DocM77 has created a machine that adds a new dimension. Zero mods, no resource packs, just redstone and glitches. He is using Netherite blocks for his redstone circuits.
JimmySolidarity joined two seasons ago, and has died first every time. He is very careful this season, but other Hermits kill him first on purpose.
TangoTek has built Decked Out 4 in the End. It is roughly four times the size of the main island, and the dragon has been captured and sealed in an obsidian box so that it will make a cool sound effect in one specific room.
SMajor joined five days ago, and he has already been in a fan-favourite duo with half the server. His Ao3 tag has quadrupled in size, and his tumblr tag is full of art vaguely shipping him with just about anyone with a face.
Pearl has been a landscaper, a janitor, a postmaster, an accountant, a bus driver, and a librarian. Running out of public service jobs, she has started showing up at people's houses in real life with teas and coffees. No one's sure how she gets there.
Etho's tissue box has finally disintegrated, and everyone is excitedly recommending him mic stands. He is trying to hide the fact that he has put an exact copy of the box in its place already.
Zombie Cleo has become so adept at manipulating armor stands that they can perfectly recreate literally anything. Including things that by all rights should not exist. New viewers occasionally complain about lovecraftian nightmares and mental issues after seeing them. Cleo and their older viewers laugh like it's an inside joke.
well i had tried switching to @girl-hills but now idk what to do..i could keep both accounts going or i might come back here but change things up a bit? not sure
smooshing together my interests like making two plushies kiss. some random nonsense under the cut (horror themes).
<RETRIEVED FILE. CODE: HCS7DO.>
DECKED OUT 1.0: The newest and only one of her kind! We have no idea how Tango managed it, but, and I don't say this lightly, she's the best we have. Equipped with the latest redstone technology and standing at a whopping 70 metres tall (Tango was always known for not being particularly subtle...), it's no wonder Tango and her are inseparable.
TANGO TEK: One of the greatest engineers I know. There's.. really no reason for him to be out in the caverns, but his heart seems to belong to piloting. There's no talking that guy down, if anything he seems to take any sign of doubt or worry as a challenge. I hope he knows guys around our age usually grew out of that sort of bravado half a decade ago, but who am I to stop him?

[shrill, sharp inhales are heard, piercing through the microphone.]
[???]: H-Hey! This is [INTELLIGIBLE]. Do you copy?! Do you copy?! We. We're in a situation o'er here! T-Tango, he--!
[An inhuman screech echoes from afar.]
[Heavy footsteps are heard, getting louder and louder]
[???]: [INTELLIGIBLE]

Impulse finishes off the day the same way everyday. Review the paperwork, make sure all the mechs are fully powered off, lock up the compound, make tea, go to bed.
He's had the kettle for months now, yet it still feels brand new somehow. It lets out this high-pitched noise he can't stand and it takes so damn long. But he has no other option around these days.
He watches it boil, sitting on a dusty desk strewn with papers. Mostly business documents, most of those covered in scribbled drawings of future projects, a couple of handwritten recipes, an old sticky note from Bdubs that just read "HERE'S YOUR (crossed out) REDSTONE" that he found amusing and stuck to his desk, a birthday card with a cheesy message written inside signed off by "Your Rancher C:".
