I Love Hemitcraf

Day 17: Ren

As always: All journal posts, @hermitadaymay fundraiser post, and go follow @enkays-den for all the hard work they do!! + click to see our fic ao3

out of curiosity: so in the au skizz is a singer and bass player for his band, right? does he still know how to play the drums as well? (like maybe more as a hobby?) I ask because I pictured impulse finding out and getting SO excited lol.

your art is awesome btw, your coloring is so vibrant and I love the way you draw wings!

Skizz does know how to play drums! But the other members of the band are BigB and Tango (and a secret fourth person shhh), and neither of them are gonna want to be front and center, singing and leading the band :P

So, Skizz has to sing, and you can't exactly sing *and* play drums, so he plays bass! That, and he doesn't need a drum player, because the secret fourth person plays drums :D

But Impulse doesn't know he plays drums yet.. I'm thinking I'm going to put out a post soon about how they meet, and that'll be the start of the current timeline :) But he's certainly going to be excited to learn

Also thank youuuu! I'm so pleased with how the art's been turning out; the colors are definitely outside my comfort zone, but Enkay's been helping me pick things out <3 And btw I have more art coming soon that I think puts all the stuff thus far to shame >:))))

((Also also if anyone can guess who the secret fourth member is I'll whip up a drawing them that I think y'all will like ;)))

YIPPEE MORE THEORIES :D also love the "can skizzpulse kiss yet" lmao

Hypno - You're welcome for the boob window ;) I thought he deserved it after looking at all the fanart. And yes, it is an interesting trio! There's a lot of unique combinations of people in our stories, so it's going to be very fun to write, and hopefully fun to read, too.

Also, not going to say if the journal is for Skizz or if he plans to share it with someone else, but like. Ask yourself: would Skizz talk/write to himself? (the answer is yes, he definitely would)

Are survivors a threat?? Would they be harder to kill??? Why would Skizz be thinking about all that is the real question... >:)

Martyn - I love MartRenDoc as a poly trio, my beloved (and yes, they totally would fight over Ren lol, despite him having two hands). Martyn being a 3 IS interesting, isn't it? I wonder why Skizz would've gotten that impression... (aka, I'm not going to give you any hints, but I LOVE that you noticed and want you to keep noticing things)

Gem - She's a warrior :D I mean, she's called Geminislay for a reason lol, not to mention the protective family (Girldad impulse is my favorite <3) Also just always keep in mind that Skizz's notes are just HIS thoughts and are more than capable of being wrong :)

Cub - Enkay and I actually discussed the lils having things like glasses and clothes and decided that they only get them if the Hermit created them, so the Assistants don't get glasses because Cub hasn't made them any lol (there are lils that have accessories though, as you'll see later)

Those last sentences are actually a very specific and important interaction in the Hermit's perception of Skizz, btw :)

SKULK CUBBBBBBB!! I really wanted convex, but I also adore any and all skulk creatures, so we just decided he gets both :D He and Scar have a very specific (and angsty) backstory to explain some of their notes (and it may or may not have something to do with their strange interaction Skizz described). That'll all be revealed in time

Pearl - that last line SHOULD scare you, and imo gives some of the most insight into Skizz's thoughts compared to the other secret notes. What exactly it means, I'm not telling (mainly because Enkay is obsessed with secrets even though I wanna spill them aaaaaall)

Lil creation is not something that happens naturally, I'll tell you that much. There's a reason that everyone on Hermitcraft has one

Joel - Him calling all of them Jeremy is my favorite, no comment on the abilities thing, and yes, Joel would commit crimes if Skizz tried to touch his tail.

B - IS he planning on escaping??? Why would he mention escape?????? ooOOOoOOOOooo the questions.......! Anyways, Enkay and I are still working on the exact map of Hermitcraft, but while there are lots of woods, it's not *completely* surrounded by forest. there is water, idk why you would mention him flying though, Skizz doesn't have wings! :)

There will be Jimmy and Skizz interactions!! There's a lot that needs to happen before then, but it's coming :D

Who hurt him indeed....

---

Thanks you so much for your rambles!!! I adore them sooooo much, the theories make me so happy :D I feed off of people's thoughts and ideas

Lils au galactic translations and theories 2!

Here I am again, I will be translating days 8-14 of @enkays-den and @cannibal-walleye’s silly stupid lils au which I love dearly…

So, as usual, spoilers ahead, I don’t know if I’m gonna go in as much detail as last week’s, but we shall seeeeee

AO3 Link: https://archiveofourown.org/series/4663420

This group of hermits shows a bunch more relationships and oddities that Skizz is learning about, and we learn some… things about Mr. Enigmatic Skizzlypants

Can skizzpulse kiss yet

Day 8: Hypno

VI (6) Intentionally quiet, not shy.

A survivor in general, considering he sails and judging by the stories I heard.

Experienced with combat.

Don’t underestimate anyone here.

-First of all, love Hypno’s boob window Walleye that’s great

-Anyways, Hypno, Joey, and Joel is definitely an interesting trio. Is Lizzie an ocean creature? Maybe she follows them as they sail who knows

-I bet like… $2 that Joey’s first interaction with Skizz involved him flirting… it’s Joey c’mon

-“Don’t underestimate anyone here” is Skittle saying that to himself or does he intend to give this to someone for information? I’m probably overthinking it he’s probably just reminding himself but I’M JUST THINKING

-Are survivors a threat to Skizz? Harder to kill if he’s thinking of that…

Day 9: Martyn

III (3) very arts focused, no mention of fighting, but he definitely has a strong build from something.

Has a strong spirit, very confident.

No special abilities as far as I can tell.

-By the way Skizz writes the definition of polyglot down it makes me think he didn’t know the word beforehand, which it is a weird word so I guess if someone doesn’t know it that makes sense but Sizzle is Sizzle and I feel like he’d know that word… then again, I think too much.

-Ren, Doc, and Martyn are so silly, Ren has two hands and Doc and Marty will kill eachother for him anyway

-Martyn with a 3 is weird—but also, Skizz hasn’t seen any combat stuff from him. He may not know much combat or he does, and it might surprise Skizz at some point.

-“He definitely has a strong build from something” what does this man do… maybe it’s all the running around stage/j

Maybe he has some weird lore idk Martyn always has that stuff

Day 10: Gem

VIII (8) More skilled than Impulse in combat but no size or resistance advantage.

Probably not experienced in true combat.

Fae magic can only be used if making a deal, has no effect on combat.

Should be careful when speaking to her. 

Can become small and easily sneak around.

Can probably fly.

Impulse would probably kill or die for her.

-Fae Gem! Even without her magic (as long as Skizz chooses his words carefully) she’s ranked pretty high!

-If Skizz wants to take out Gem, he has to deal with dad and sister uh ohhh

I love girldad pulse

-Also, by true combat Skizz means fighting for harm or death according to Enkay, so Skizz doesn’t think Gem would know much on actual killing

-Even with that she’s still an 8, maybe cuz she’s Imp’s daughter Skizz thinks that she is very formidable (she probably is)

Day 11: Cub

VI (6) Seems pacifist, reported to not leave his lab very much.

Nevertheless, intelligent and perceptive.

Unknown how skulk infection could augment or disable vex powers.

Him and Scar kept asking very specific questions and looking at each other when they thought I wasn’t looking. I can’t tell if it’s because of whatever they think my history is or they’re suspicious.

-I love the stupid assistant doodle, I thought it deserved glasses (Enkay was HATING on it (meanie)/silly but I think it looks even more like it’d piss off Skizz)

-For the last sentences, I think scar was just being snoopy and a little suspicious but cub was really trying to figure out what Skizz’s deal was

Or they were actually both on the same page but who knows with the Convex boys

-I love skulk Cub

-Skizzy Wizzy doesn’t know what a firework is presumably, so we need a scene of Skizz seeing a firework show maybe that would make him less suspicious (or more because oh my god they have multicolored fire shooters or smth)

-We’ll see if Skizz ever learns the skulk history, whether that’s Cub’s personal history with the stuff or the actual history of skulk (assuming Skizz again does not know what it is) idk-

Day 12: Pearl

VII (7) Skilled in combat in human form.

Wolf form very large, strong, and fast. Smelling and hearing.

Maybe enhanced senses in human form.

Impulse would probably kill or die for her.

I don’t think I could hurt either of them.

-So the last line… it scares me, because either Skizz likes the daughters and doesn’t want to hurt them, OR because Impulse will kill for them, he can’t touch them

I told this to Enkay and just got-

Evil

-From “I’m not sure what their exact ages are, since they have lils” I don’t know if this has been addressed and I’ve definitely not been told, do lils like… spawn at a certain age? Or do you just gain the ability to summon some at a certain age? Interesting… so if you don’t make it past like age 20 you can’t come back! Dead and gone loser LMAO

-I love the Poppyseed doodle, since these notes are in like ink or pencil or something I wonder if Enkay just doesn’t erase any mistakes, makes it more authentic Skizzy that way

Day 13: Joel

VII (7) Genuinely confident in his abilities.

Strong build, plus sailing requires being good at a lot of different things.

No visible powers, but tanukis are known for having special abilities of any kind.

-As an avid Joel fan (even though I do not talk about him ever) I love the singular Jeremy he would definitely do that

They look like a Jeremy anyway

-I wonder if Joel does have any powers, or if he is just good at combat enough to compensate for that. But Skizz does say that tanukis can have special abilities—whatever they are—so we shall see

-Swizzle I think if you ever touched Joel’s tail he would just try to murder you LOL

Day 14: B

VII (7) Non combatant, usually only in or near the forest and easy to keep an eye on, but still great for spying.

Don’t think the cookie thing was a poisoning attempt, they already knew my allergies by then.

How many creaklings are in this area?

Sprites are very small, again a good spy.

Don’t escape through the woods.

-Skizz planning on escaping at some point? Or is it if he needs to escape, don’t go through the woods? I don’t know the map of the hermit settlement but I feel like there would be woods all around. Probably if skizz needed to escape, his best bet would be the water or even flying out.

But he doesn’t need to escappeeeee idiot…

-I hope there’s a chapter in the fic with lots of Jimmy Skizz interactions cuz he keeps talking about him and I love Jimmy and Skizz

-B’s lils are so cuteeee stupid spider

-Skizz is always gonna be edge around the forests- maybe he’ll try to talk to B? I hope so I love them

-Dude why would the cookie be a poisoning attempt who hurt you Skizzy

Andddd that’s it-

Uhhhhhhhh oh my gosh I RAMBLED sorry guys that’s a lot- uhhhhhhh hopefully I’m not boring…

Skizz what is UP with you

ANYWAYS hope you enjoyed! I’m excited and scared for these next few ones…

Cya in 7 days!

That post of skizz got marked as mature... 🙄

thanks for letting me know!! I have no idea why and I don’t know how to fix it D: if anyone has advice, please PLEASE tell me how to make it normal :(

idk if it’s like that for everyone or just you, but it needs fixing either way

enkay and I are COOKING rn, just so you know

WELCOME TO HERMIT-A-DAY MAY 2025!

Another year, another Hermit-a-Day May! I'm so thrilled to be able to bring this event to you all for the third year in a row.

THE RULES: 1. Any type of fanwork is welcome so long as it features, or is otherwise inspired by, the Hermit of the day. 2. Tag #hermitaday to have your fanwork reblogged, or submit it directly to the blog (Please note that while we recognize the value of fanworks involving more mature themes, and they can certainly count toward challenge completion if you're keeping track for yourself, content on this blog will be kept "PG-13" so that all may enjoy.). 3. Fanworks for one Hermit posted after the day rolls over to another Hermit's day (per the US Central time zone) will be reblogged in one big queue in June. 4. Traced or stolen work is NOT welcome. If we discover you have posted traced or stolen work, you will be given one chance to delete it and apologize, or you will be blacklisted from the blog. AI-generated/assisted pieces are similarly unwelcome and will not be featured on the blog. 5. We are not interested in seeing captions or tags in which you disparage your art/skills, and will not be reblogging posts where this happens. We're all improving all the time. Be kind to yourselves. 6. Technically not a rule, but we strongly recommend adding alt text or description to all images. Click here to learn more about writing alt text - it's pretty easy!

WHY SHOULD I PARTICIPATE? To show love to every Hermit, from the most to least subscribed, from those who have been on the server from day one to those who only joined this season! And because challenges are fun! And because we are once again out here for a good cause: we're running another fundraiser for Gamers Outreach, featuring art incentives by nine amazing artists. Learn more about our incentives in these posts:

BONUS DAY PROMPTS EXPLAINED UNDER THE CUT

FAVORITE "ALT" HERMIT - May 4th HoTGuY and Poultry-Man. Helsknight and Evil Xisuma. Renbob and - look, you get the idea. This server is full of theater kids ready to toss on an alternate skin and play into a brand new character at the drop of a hat. Who's your favorite?

OUTFIT SWAP - May 9th What would Doc look like in Cleo's Life Series leotard? How would Cub fare in Wels's armor? What laundry day mishap could lead Mumbo's suit to lose its sleeves like Skizz's? Only hilarity can come from this...

GROUPS AND COLLABS - May 14th This month is all about one Hermit a day... but what we really love is when they interact with each other. What does your favorite duo or group of Hermits get up to together?

FAVORITE BUILD - May 18th The Hermits have put thousands of hours into their builds, from cozy starter bases to the sprawling halls of Deepfrost Citadel, from idyllic natural landscapes to machines the size of mountains. Which builds have inspired you?

TFC - May 23rd While he may no longer be with us physically, TFC left behind him a legacy of quiet care and good humor, and Hermitcraft would not have been the same without him.

FRIENDS OF HERMITCRAFT - May 28th There are plenty of shows, podcasts, competitions, other servers, and more woven into the internet ecosystem around Hermitcraft, and plenty more people involved in them. Today is for celebrating all of those who, while they may not be Hermits themselves, exist and entertain in proximity to them.

Skizz - Laughter and control

Build n Seek aka joy and delight on planet earth
