Aur/Aurora. Minecraft/Minecraft Youtuber side blog. 31, they/them/theirs. This blog will feature hermitshipping/trafficshipping. I am doing my best to tag at least pairings, if not hermitshipping/trafficshipping. If I forget, please let me know and I'll correct it! 💜

I'm periodically going through my thousands of drafts and queuing posts. So if you see me reblog an older/Old post of yours, that's why!

Eta 3/2024: I post almost exclusively from the app and my phone keyboard is currently kind of broken. I don't feel like fixing it if I'm being honest; please disregard any weird punctuation, that's the part that's most broken! Eta 9/25: That phone's battery was swollen so I have a new phone but I have been not active much. Still chilling.

Day 336 // HADM 31 - ZombieCleo

AND WITH THIS I HAVE OFFICIALLY COMPLETED A DAILY MONTH LONG ART CHALLENGE FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE I STARTED DRAWING TEN YEARS AGO which is insane to say can you believe it

Anyway here's my Cleo <33 I've been meaning to draw them for AGESSS and I know I started drawing her Once in sketchbook for my brother and never finished it so it was a delight to properly draw them now <3

Thank y'all so much for all the support for the Hermit A Day May drawings !! Your regularly scheduled Grian programming will be back tomorrow ✨

Actually hater moment bc if I see one more “can I confess something, idk what lifesteal is but now that Joel Smallishbeans is in it I will be tuning in🥺” I think I’m going to crash the fuck out but can we lock in? Can the life series/hermitcraft community look outside their bubble for five fucking seconds? You can see the beauty in so many different spaces if you decide to branch out and simply consider that Grian Minecraft isn’t as into the game as he once was. Like, we got some deadass good gamers that put their souls into the game with speedrunning and ARGS and scripted concepts but noooo “I can’t venture out of my bubble bc who else will fulfill my daily white man dose I have to take” FUCKING HELL MAN

i debated about adding to this, but i do want to add my two cents in on this as i used to be deep in the hermitcraft community but moved out of it a while ago.

it is honestly shocking how little in touch i was with so much of the greater mcyt community while i was in the hc/life series fandom. that's not to say it's the cc's fault, but there is SO MUCH happening outside of their bubble that's genuinely amazing to check out! this post isn't just about lifesteal -- it's about unstable universe, it's about SMPs like pow servers and the flight, it's about ARGs and escape room MCYTs who are constantly pushing the boundaries of how storytelling can be done in minecraft, and it's about the hundreds and hundreds of smaller mcyt's who have their own niche and sense of humor and style. there is SO much out there that the hermitcraft community especially doesn't even take a first glance at.

i've seen firsthand how the hermitcraft community can get a little. how to say. too proud of their own community and then put other communities below them? some of you guys don't want to look at what's happening or even acknowledge the talent of people off that group and then act like you're better than everyone else for being in a community that's "drama free" or "better established" (which isn't true, by the way -- you guys have just as many issues, and just like to sweep it under the rug and pretend otherwise). i have seen this firsthand, and it's disappointing to see. it's also a major reason i stopped interacting with the hc/life series community when i branched out. the communities outside of you guys are welcoming and excited and love being where they are, and interacting with each other, and supporting smaller cc's and larger cc's alike. they aren't judging a community for not being as old. they're just having fun, and you guys are missing out because you literally will not look outside your scope and act like you're better for it.

rant over now, but if anyone wants to explore into lifesteal or any other series i've talked about, please don't hesitate to ask me for recs! i've actually been working on a database with @introvert-in-hell on and off for months in which we've been categorizing MCYT videos with various tags and genres to make them easier to find and get into, so i have a good amount of stuff i can give you!
