Like many Hermitcraft fans, I am a Helsknight simp, but like, more for the story implications. And having as much of a buzzing imagination as I do, I decided to dump some headcanons for a few other, hypothetical evil!Hermits- mostly some of the more underrated Hermits, since I primarily prefer to watch them.
Keralis: Greed. Pure, unadulterated greed. Probably rips into his good counterpart for how easily he falls into his gambling addiction, but that’s just pure hypocrisy on Evil K’s part- he’ll take any risk for an extra diamond in his pocket. Eyes are an unamused half-lidded shape. Main resentment point is how willing the others are to take advantage of Keralis’ addiction for their own ends. (No I absolutely did not write this while listening to Pokey Hole on loop what makes you say that)
Joe: You know that AU I mentioned where Joe snaps and starts burning other people’s diamonds and plotting to destroy the shopping district in order to save the others from themselves? That, but without the selfless motive. Very sinister, speaks in riddles. Probably has a different symbol on his shirt, but I’m not sure what. Main resentment point, as mentioned, is how blinded by greed everyone tends to be- definitely clashes hard with Evil K.
TFC: Just… so sick and tired of everybody’s nonsense. Just wants to blow everything up so he can exist in peace.
Zedaph: Probably some similar motives to Evil TFC, just wanting to vibe without a war happening outside his window every ten minutes, but I mean. This is Zedaph we’re talking about here. You know how many villains’ plans get toppled because they made the plans needlessly complex? Evil Zed wouldn’t even be much of a threat because of that.
