i think we as a society need to use cell phones/laptops/cars/backpacks to flesh out characters
like. a character has a cracked phone screen and a dozen stickers and a glittery case and a photo of their dog as a background. that says so much
or a character has a completely plain phone with no decorations and a default home screen and all the contacts are people's first names with no profile photos. except for one contact which is a stupid nickname and a shot of someone taken at a very unflattering angle. you know?
or cars!!! someone who has a disgusting car, with trash everywhere and mud caking the seats, but the passenger seat is always clean, because someone else always cleans it for them.
this has potential to become a blorbo post so now i want everyone to describe what they think their blorbo's phone/laptop/car/backpack looks like in the tags because i like reading these things
From my experience - this is a BIG part of character design. A character isn't just a face or a body, it's a series of choices.
Every piercing is a decision they made, every tattoo involved sitting for hours and then carefully caring for it afterward. Do they wear bracelets? What kind? Do they have meaningful trinkets they carry around, or are they minimalist and spartan?
Characters impact the world around them and customize their spaces. Pay attention to those details and you'll have a much more fleshed out being to play with :)
help. after watching EVERYONE ELSE simply die taking one bite. joe tapped in for the hot ones challenge after iskall tapped, grabbed the bomb, just ate the entire thing in two bites, and went “that is a good wing :)” I love him,
the contrast between Joe (showed up, ate the three hottest wings like they were normal wings because he was hungry, refused to elaborate or react like they were hot) and zedaph (visibly in shock) is really funny,
it's funny i feel like tango split the energy from the creature that was decked out in half this season. the factory has the mechanical majesty, the twisting wires, the sense of a multitude of parts coming together to make something greater than any of its pieces, and of course, the insane redstone programming. meanwhile, ALL of the haunted energy went to the mail system. that thing is so so haunted. it already ate joe hills once. could not possibly be more haunted. together, they make "yep, tango tek is sure still at it" in its strongest form and i couldn't be more happy,
Cleo is v much the “makes transphobic/homophobic/conservative Jokes or wears homophobic pride merch bc she thinks its funny” friend while joe is very much the “will fight you if you say anything homophobic/transphobic/bigoted” friend, and they are best friends and need each other greatly
A good time to remind everyone of Joe trying to kill Scott immediately when Scott said "I hate the gays" not knowing that Scott is in fact gay so Joe is very much that friend
Mental illness representation on Hermitcraft
Joel - mania
Keralis - left handed
Etho - his setup
Mumbo Jumbo - has physicaly tied himself to his desk with safety wires in order to unlearn thumb-shifting. Seriously what's up with that
Grian - government worker
hes like a bug
Not to MCYT post on main BUT ERET JUST GOT A PRESCRIPTION FOR ESTROGEN AND I AM SO PROUD OF THEM AND HOW FAR THEY’VE COME, EVERYONE GO GIVE ERET SOME LOVE!
the thing about the divorce quartet is that, on a meta level, everyone in it wants to be the villain of that storyline. they all know how fun it is playing a villain so they all try to go off the deep end.
Martyn breaks up with Pearl when she's vulnerable at the end of session 1, builds the Bleeding Heart specifically to bother Cleo, and has zero loyalty to Pearl and Scott when the quartet eventually teams up.
Scott and Cleo call each other the mean girls of the quartet, absolutely REFUSE to even LOOK at an olive branch from the other two, and institute a morning tradition of axe-critting each other to terrify Pearl and Martyn. Scott badmouths Pearl to everyone he sees. Cleo essentially two-times Scott and Martyn, telling both of them that she's only keeping the other around for convenience.
Pearl acts like a wet cat in her POVs, but she absolutely knows what she's doing. She tortures Scott, steals from her "allies", and meets up with Scar as they set out to make each other worse. When the server gives her a reputation for being unhinged, she leans all the way in, changing to her red skin and embracing her talent for giggling like a horror movie villain. She admits to her audience that she does feel partially responsible for Ren and BigB's death, but denies it to them vehemently. Whenever anyone admits she was right (Ren and Martyn founding the Broken Hearts Club, or Scott and Cleo calling her tower the most dedensible position) she gloats so hard.
C!Divorce Quartet is four people doomed to tragedy by their pride, all of whom think they're the victim. CC!Divorce Quartet is four nerds with an addiction to the bit competing to be the one the fans Love To Hate.
What are friends for
the next book… the next book…
something something hermits have a murder mystery dinner party and all get assigned characters and they have to dress like them, zed gets femme fatale basically & then all the hermits r trying to solve the murder mystery but zeds trying to solve her new gender crisis
Only gods get front-facing portraits
i'm still relatively new to hermitcraft, but being exposed to all these new CCs makes me wonder how well they'd work for the silly death game series
so i made a poll about it
Which Hermit would you most want to see added to Life SMP?

uhhhh apparently tumblr polls are 12 options max?? so, additionally:
Xisumavoid Zedaph
i guess you'll need to put their names in the comments if you're voting for them ;;;; no worries, i'll tally it all up!
"Let Doc say 'fuck!'"
"Let xB say 'fuck!'"
No.
Let Pearl speak the language of her people...
honestly i get the impulse to make xisuma the server dad or the Big Scary Admin, but this is the devil speaking to you. don’t do it. he is Floppy and he is Pathetic and he Does Not Want Responsibility In Any Form, and this is categorically a hundred times funnier as a character option than dadsuma or adminsuma.
like. things you can do with this:
if there’s an Actual Problem, X being the last to know. if it’s an argument/fighting thing, people go to etho. if it needs weird, dubiously-wise arbitration, joe. if the game is breaking, doc. etc. etc. but xisuma is like absolutely bottom of the “to call” list and therefore has no idea what’s going on ever
just absolutely no fear of him whatsoever. X is like “don’t do that or i’ll kick you” and everyone’s like “lmao ok”
everyone being fiercely tender and protective over him, partly because they appreciate him doing all the admin shit he has to do despite not really being typical Admin Material, but also because everyone else violently does not want to have to be the new admin
xisuma, when faced with an Admin Problem that requires Admin Solutions, being just absolutely, phenomenally miserable. shaken piece of laminate. cat that had an unexpected bath. dog who heard the word “vets”. just sad and lightly pathetic the whole time. he can do the admin stuff, sure, but he’ll be :( about it the whole time.
crossovers (mcc, dream smp, whatever) where someone’s like “what would your admin say/do?” as some kind of argument-ender, and the hermits collectively look at one another and shrug and go “…’not my problem’, probably?”
also crossovers where someone’s like “you need to assert dominance or one of them will try and take over” and xisuma’s like “…are you aware how much paperwork this server requires. absolutely no one else is going to do that. none of them have legible handwriting. i don’t even think half of them have a signature. at least three of them can’t read. absolutely no one wants to run this server, me included”
tl;dr more woeful, beleagured, mildly pathetic xisuma in fic pls. he warms my cold dead heart. i want to put a towel in the tumble dryer to warm it up and then wrap it around him gently.
Ocassionally, they get other admins trying to muscle in and take over the server via insidious mutiny-mongering, saying things like, “Wouldn’t it be better if you had a real admin in charge? Someone who actually knows what they’re doing and not that pathetic excuse for a leader?”
No, in fact, the hermits would not like that. This server thrives on chaos, and Xisuma is the only admin in existence who is perfectly happy to wash his hands of whatever wars or pranks or other nonsense is going on. As long as the server isn’t breaking, he does not care, he does not see it.
Xisuma has no idea how many attempted coups and invasions and server hacks the hermits have ended before they began. The hermits have all collectively decided it’s better that he never knows.
