1 for the Hermitcraft ask game? (When and how did you get into Hermitcraft?)

Season 6! I think I started watching around the time they started doing the war (but I was backlogging episodes at that point so I didn't watch much of it in real time). I got into it because I was already a fan of Grian and would watch his building videos from time to time. I initially ignored his HC videos but eventually got curious (probably because I was a fan of Mumbo too and saw them both posting vids about it. Wanted to see what all the fuss was about).

Bruh why does everyone think that just bcos you dont like shipping you need to be interviewed and have a justified reason for not shipping? Why cant they just accept that you have your own ideals and just move on lmao. This is kinda comparable to when your in a pub with friends and you need to explain why you dont drink smh

I hope your having a good day despite the shipping discourse in your inbox ✨️🧡🌻🧡✨️

HONESTLY THOUGH. All I basically said was "we should be taking care not to step on the toes of the content creators we watch especially if we're going to use their image and "characters" for our own projects" and suddenly everybody has an issue with me and needs me to elaborate. I said what I said, fr just block me or something if you don't like it.

But thank you for the kind words, Anon. Its nice to know that I'm not crazy <3

but what if a mcyt sees ur art and reads it as ship art and it makes them uncomfortable? isn't that still risking their comfort?

sorry i'm really not trying to be stupid, i want to understand /gen

I mean, I really dont think they will. Affectionate doesn't automatically mean romantic. Its supposed to read as friendly/platonic affection and frankly I think it comes off that way. Especially considering I was drawing my interpretation of what happened, maybe I added a little extra flare but I didn't really throw in anything that wasn't already there (the hearts and stuff are a reference to Tango's video, and the heartstring thing is a reference to Double Life. Its nothing more than that).

I don't think there's anything in it that would immediately translate to shipping (like kissing or whatever), it's mostly just hugging. That person (the one who sent me an ask before you) only saw it like that because they wanted to see it like that.

But if someone brought it to my attention I would gladly clarify or change stuff for them to make them more comfy.

ur team rancher art reads as shipping to me

Okay, and? You can interpret my art however the hell you want, that doesn't mean that it actually is the way you "read" it. Its not shipping art. I drew it, I'm telling you what the intention behind it was. You're reading it as shipping art because you want it to be shipping art.

what if babies kept growing forever (hatefully)

why would you say this to me

[aiming-for-phantoms]

There is a pretty good collection on hermitshipping boundaries by hermitcraft-boundaries (or hermitcraft-resources, whichever one it's called) that has links to the statements mentioned in it! I figured I'd mention it because it's pretty helpful to avoid shipping those who don't feel comfortable with it!

Very good resource actually, thank you. I hope they get more info on more of the hermits. :)

Anyone who enjoys hermitshipping should check this out and adhere to it if you actually care about the people you watch

[aiming-for-phantoms]

so ur against anything that could potentially make a cc uncomfortable?

Well yeah. Why would I want to make someone I like, and someone I'm a fan of, uncomfortable? If I can help it anyway. That goes for shipping or anything else
