Hermittwt be like “I’m going to ignore the whole argument and focus on the fact that people are trying to defend “irl shipping” fuck you if you don’t care about the irl people and focus on the storyline and rp you’re shipping real people no matter what and I’m going to harass you for it even if you’re just saying not to harass people”

what upsets me is the way people leap to and go out of their way to talk about how bad shipping is, and at the same time I've only seen one person say "I dont like shipping but harassment is bad"; meanwhile, the "hermittwt carrd" (ostensibly the rules guidelines for their community) states some of the following things

- a statement about how some hermits are ok with shipping but "shipping actual people" can be uncomfortable (nobody ships the actual human hermits but okay fair we all have different boundaries)

- hermittwt as a whole "does not condone irl hermitshipping" (again, nobody is shipping actual human people, and I do think its weird to use "condone" here, because "condone" implies morality and again it all ties back into hermittwt's treatment of shipping as a deeply moral thing and their view of being against it/shippers as something just)

- "if you are uncomfortable with anything someone said, dm them! please don't accuse other members of the community on the timeline" (and yet it's okay for people to force an artist to apologize for appropriately tagging their art as ship, to publicly and continuously react negatively and warn people away from another artist?)

It just makes me so incredulous that hermittwt have these rules, and yet they break them when it comes to shippers, because shippers arent allowed to be part of the community. shippers are the outgroup and so when someone goes onto hermittwt and stirs the pot a bit almost nobody condemns the harassment and shaming. because at the core they agree with it.

fundamentally, some people understand hermitcraft differently. im sure hermitblr was deeply influenced by the yogscast fandom, who have been forcibly separating art from artist since at least as far back as 2013. im sure hermittwt was deeply influenced by dream smp fandom, which (despite often being About Roleplay thats very clear that Its Fiction) blurs the line between "being a fan of this creator" and "being a fan of this character"; you aren't often only one, usually you're both.

Honestly? I kind of hope one of the hermits tells them to get their act together. I want to see how they react when they've been scolded

This might be either a large overreaction or me projecting a bit too hard but maybe we could collectively tone down on calling Joe a cryptid. Not talking about AUs and magical headcanons and stuff but just it rubs me the wrong way when people imply Joe is too strange to be human yaknow

[hermits-n-crafting]

Me: Really likes some blogs art and follows said blog.

Said blog: *Ships Hermits*

Me: *is really torn between staying following and unfollowing because the hermits are real people and you shouldn't ship real people and makes me uncomfortable.*

Me: But they got the good arts.

Hello hermitcraft tag, if you think comparing doc to abusive pedophiles is normal or okay, please do me a large favor and just block me!

In light of recent events, I’m going to address some things about TRSNS.

One: Solitary confinement and trauma. This was supposed to be an edgy, cathartic metaphor for myself and my own experiences that I will not be elaborating on. It might have been heavy-handed and over the top, but it was something I wrote for myself.

Two: Grian’s and Iskall’s disabilities. I admit I did no research for them. I was wrong in my portrayal of physical disability and I fully own up to it. By employing the ‘magical healing’ element I implied that fixing disability is necessary and an easy process when it is not. If I was to rewrite this I would acknowledge the canon hermits with disabilities(Doc’s arm, Iskall’s eye) and how there could be other ways to help the characters adjust with mobility aids or similar.

Three: The insanity/craziness trope. On the origins of the idea behind TRSNS, I saw someone(not namedropping for their privacy) get an ask about the redstoner inspired au where the person was asked to describe the au. I read the ask and thought ‘wow, that sounds sort of interesting, I should try to write something for it.’ That something became TRSNS, wholly separate and different from the original redstoner source material(link above) save for that one trope.

I will not be making any more posts about this, or taking anons or asks about this. Message me if you have questions/comments/concerns. I apologize for any and all harm I’ve caused and for not publicly saying anything sooner.
