As a reminder, most members of SBK & co are making these their final statements on the matter and will not be speaking of the situation or Avid and Marm going forward. Please do not bring up the situation to them again after today. Let everybody move on and heal.
If you are/were a fan of Avid or Marm, whether you created fan content about them or not, I would appreciate if you read this.
I am not here to talk directly about what they did, frankly, I could read every statement and still not know everything as I was never in that fanbase. (Though I will say that I have read all the statements)
I am here to talk to the fans of them. People who unintentionally put them on a pedestal, people who created things about them, people who like the characters they played, and the people that heard over and over 'don't idolize creators' but did it anyway on accident and are now devastated.
I did it too, not with Avid and Marm, sure, but with other creators who also turned out to be awful, most nobly, for me it was Wilbur Soot.
I know what Avid and Marm did is not easily comparable to what Wilbur did, not by scale and platform size at least, but the situation the fanbase is (and most likely will be in) the same.
Its gonna suck, especially for people who put so much effort and love into creating things about them, but you can still work on it if you feel comfortable.
The mcyt fanbase (and yt fanbases in general) toe the line between rpf and character fiction a lot. We do our best to separate creator and character all the time, this is no different.
The best strategy I have found over the years is to Oc-ify them. Those characters were given up by the creators as soon as they left. You can keep your VSMP-avid. He's yours now. Be free.
If they come back to release a statement, to apologize, take what they say into account, sure, but also take into account what their friends and victims said. Don't let what you saw in a video or on a stream make you think you know them. Don't be like Wilbur stans.
And one last thing. NEVER harass them. I'm serious. I don't care what they did. If you send hate, harass them, threaten them, anything. They will use it to convince one more person they are the victim. They will show the mountain of threats and harassment and go "See? This is what they really wanted" and some people will believe them.
Thank you for listening, and remember, if it isn't giving them money or defending their abuse, its free reign. Go create, go make art and write fanfiction. Take a break and come back stronger.
I encourage you all to go watch Legs, Ruby and Natures stream (and anyone else who discusses this whole situation).
I will still be updating if there is another statement/ something in this situation or just to help the community with this but I also agree with Legs and Cleo in letting them fade into oblivion. Do not let them ruin what you love and our community. Be respectful to the creators and please remember they are human too
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?
I’m very proud of avid for coming out, and I hope he doesn’t feel pressured to continue to present masc if he doesn’t want to and also that he doesn’t feel pressured to present more femme if he doesn’t want to,
I hope he continues to present however he feels most comfortable and experiments with presentation, etc if that’s what he wants to do and doesn’t feel more pressure from the audience to be/look one way over another. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
omgomgomg the way that you can’t see lucy gray and like haymitch is the only one who notices her while katniss and peeta are just vining. like only haymitch remembers the covey jdjdjebenrnekodj
