theyre not together

[hmshermitcraft]

Joel has odd ways of trying to make his crushes feel special.

Joel actually listening to Etho when he asks Joel to do things. (DL when asked to build a base, he complains but does)

Joel not killing Bdubs' horses specifically. (Dude that's his thing and he made an exception)

Joel obsessively trying to kill XB. (Like, obsessed much?)

Joel, can you pretty please just be normal?

He's able to be stubborn in all things, and that includes romance. It might be bare minimum for most people, but for Joel these are big deals. It's like he's putting up a flashing sign saying 'look I care about you!'

It might take the three of them to make a 'Joel support club' to put together that this is flirting and not. Well. Something.

[hmshermitcraft]

(Same person who sent in the ask about Joel being able to be around Keralis even if he's supposedly incomprehensible)

How does Joel Smallishbeans react to his other lovers??

Grian: Watchers aren't real, Joel just kinda thinks he's a little weird whenever Grian brings up the watchers, but Joel will listen anyway. Grian thinks that Joel knows about the watchers, he is a winner of the series, but turns out Joel doesn't??? When asked about it, he just said something like "Oh ya, kinda just thought it was a different version of One Life." and shrugged it off. Grian has still not gotten over how not even the watchers can effect him.

Bdubs: Bdubs is a god's right-hand man. Bdubs follows the orders of the God of the night, making sure that people sleep (some call him the deity of sleep). Only issue, Bdubs can't get Joel to sleep, he's tried and tried, using his powers to the point where he himself is exhausted. Bdubs will refuse to confront Joel about why his powers won't work, simply just using his boyfriend privileges to pull Joel back to bed.

Bonus:

The only type of powers that work on Joel come from the sea. The hermits think that it has something to do with the statue and billboard of the fish lady in his kingdom city.

related ask!

They're not sure if it's the actual powers working, or if Joel really is just that whipped for Lizzie. They're a little jealous but at least someone can get Joel to do things!

(When she feels like it, otherwise they're on their own. No powers to save them from his stubbornness.)

For most people, finding your soulmate is wonderful! Seeing the color of your soulmate's soul bloom across your skin at first touch is an indescribable feeling, and most people bear their soulmarks with pride.

And Joel did too! ... The first few times.

Sure, having Lizzie's bright pink bloom across his shoulder was the best day of his life, and Jimmy's bright blue across his palm filled a space in his heart he didn't even know was missing. But after that it starts getting ridiculous. Like, Etho? Gem? Bdubs? How many soulmates can a guy even have?

But hey, could've been worse. At least he's not soulmates with Iskall.

It's getting harder and harder to make a cool looking outfit when he's working around this many colours! People need to stop loving him, jeez. Or at least pick complementing colours!

Joel and Bdubs act like they hate each other a lot, but in reality there moments alone are quite quiet. Despite how loud both of them can be, sometimes it’s nice to just shut up and fall asleep in someone’s arms.

(Bdubs and Joel have an off server farm with horses, donkeys, mules and a few other animals. You think Tango and Jimmy are the true ranchers? Wait until you watch those two tend to all their farm animals!!!)

Joel does zone out a little when Bdubs goes on about optimal breeding of horses. It's nice having somebody else to do all the hard work (and maths.) Then Joel gets to enjoy the rewards (well he still has to do all the caring for the animals so it's not completely work free.)

Joel and Bdubs…. Joel being totally “unbiased” towards permits and Bdubs was just like, “sure babe, you can pick or whatever.” totally forgetting that he already picked.

Specific breed of Bdubs x Joel that I need to see more: Empires SMP S1 Joel is reincarnated into Hermitcraft Joel and he and Bdubs both share a connection (maybe spiritual… idk man ESMP S1 Joel is funky) to moss.. I love them both dearly.

Anyways, Joel doesn’t kill Bdubs’ horses bc of the “boyfriend rule” and in turn Bdubs gives him kisses.

(They cuddle in mossy caves btw…)

It doesn't mean Joel doesn't threaten sometimes to kill Bdubs horses (though they know he wouldn't.) But Bdubs gets so flustered, it's adorable. How could Joel resist?

[hmshermitcraft]

Joel takes Bdubs to that old 100 days survival world to show him the horse he kept alive.

This is supposed to come off as “Look! I can take care of horses! I could be a great partner!”

But all Bdubs hears is something along the lines of “Haha! You aren’t special, I can take care of horses too!”

Joel REALLY needs to work on his flirting skills (or Bdubs needs to work on reading into what Joel means)

Bonus:

Bdubs tells Etho about it, and Etho tells him that was Joel attempting to flirt with Bdubs, even if it was weird. Bdubs feels horrible (but god knows he’ll never bring it up).

Joel has a handwritten list of 'attempts to flirt' that have been added to and scratched off accordingly. This is simply the latest one - can a man not appreciate Joel is a caring person?! Look how lovely his horse is!

They both have a lot to figure out about each others love languages. Etho, on the other hand, is enjoying his popcorn.

Bdubs is a time god, and Joel is a weather god.

When they're together it's always stormy and minutes feel like hours. It might seem bad for everyone else but for them it's amazing. They get to stay inside together for hours and if asked about it they can say "it was only really a few minutes"

The hermits love it when they fight because a: it's funny to watch and b: Joel isn't making it rain all the time and c: they get to talk to Bdubs without hearing thunder. (joel is very possessive.)

New downside: it starts raining even more when they fight for extended periods because Joel is sad and everybody needs to know how sad he is.

Like. So much rain it hurts to be out in it and nobody can get anything done level of rain.

Time to stop the couple from fighting.
