Hermitcraft 10 - Snails & Friends Ep. 24

[@darkroselight3835]

I know it peels back the magic and maybe spoils things for some people, but I really like knowing that the hermits take the time to do consent checks with each other and respect each other's feelings, time and work. It's easy to forget that the Hermits aren't just a bunch of goofy friends online they are also real adults and co-workers working together to make a living. I loved the snail trials and knowing that Skizz was fully on board makes it even better.

[@AdoreHorror]

100%

[@RetrospectsToo]

I feel for the most of us we understand it’s a bunch of friends that talk all the time but for casuals it’s just a nice reality check.

[@LeopardMask12]

Absolutely! My assumption otherwise would have been that they used fake items or that the items were saved somehow, so it's interesting and honestly kind of an enhanced experience seeing that it WAS real but also it was _fine_ that it was real.

[@Diviknight]

totally agree. It makes it easier to enjoy knowing that he was on board and given the option to keep his items, but it also makes it even more exciting to know it was the real item. I also appreciate Gem pulling back the curtain for a moment to clarify things, especially for young, impressionable viewers.

I hope that the snails will mess with Ren at some point. You know he will lean all the way into the roleplay aspect of it and since the snails seem to be from space he may even incorporate them into his LORE.

[@TBSxDRUMS]

I read your entire comment in no particular voice and then suddenly read "LORE" in 100% Ren's voice.

[@forgotn42]

Could be funny if there was a final reveal that they had a base underneath Ren's the entire time and they're actually an alien species that got to Hermitcraft by hitching a ride on one of Ren's spacecraft. The first one that landed in the meteor could've fallen off the ship. lol

[@ChimeraSoul]

I was going to say the same thing

[@humourlessjester3584]

This is definitely want separates Hermitcraft from other SMPs in my opinion, is that the members are mature adults that also happen to have entertaining personalities. I don't mean any shade against other SMPs, but there is a level of maturity in the hermits that I don't get from those SMPs because they are ran by either teenagers or really young adults with a huge following.

[@Daxti]

The whole snail saga with Skizz was exactly how it feels to be in Skizz's livestream chat. So hilarious, sometimes painful, and we love him all the more for it 😂

[@fruity4820]

As tango puts it "powers of observation: unparalleled" (although he makes this remark about himself most of the times)

[@dbseamz]

@@fruity4820 He can't truthfully say that anymore, Skizz's powers of observation parallel his perfectly.

[@ciary]

I know all hermits discuss things behind the scenes and would never really destroy items or builds unless the others were ok with it (or if by accident, also rebuild it!) But I think the peek behind the curtain is valuable because I know a lot of people who are immersed and don't see that? And by seeing it happen they think it's a justification to do this themselves or get angry at the person who did a bad thing in their eyes. so thank you, Gem, for including that bit

[@LeopardMask12]

Even I got a bit worried, especially when they weren't explaining the non-intuitive parkour jumps in time! Even though I knew- well, actually I expected them to use fake items or somehow save them, but regardless I've watched hermits long enough to know everything was Okay. But still, watching them watch Skizz struggle with the blue and red jumps had me concerned for just a moment...

[@ohhmangos]

especially with a young audience who might not know that they do that behind the scenes!!

[@unknowndane4754]

I feel it's sometimes missed in the interactions between hermits like Doc and Cleo that while "for the story" they sometimes have antagonistic relationships, they are still friends and the pranks/deceptions they do to each other are ultimately something they know that the other can take and aren't hurt by. At the very least Cleo has talked about having fans take the situation more seriously than it really is and being hostile because of it.

[@WackoMcGoose]

@@unknowndane4754 Grian's had to "call for a character break" in his videos several times in past seasons. It seems to be an issue across the fandom, but since Grian is one of the _most_ watched of the group, he's usually the one that has to explain the concept of kayfabe to the audience (which is really appreciated). Honestly, knowing that things _were_ cleared in advance, actually makes it _easier_ to "lose myself in the roleplay", not worry about OOC issues, and watch it for what it is, a funny youtube series among friends.

[@catboygremlin]

@@unknowndane4754 yeah, I made the mistake of trying to explain to someone that the hermits have rules behind the scenes and they came back at me and ranted about how I was defending a bad person (cleo) *rolls eyes*

33:04 Gemini proving she can mind her own business. The urge was strong to follow them and say, "waddya doin". But she didn't.

[@theBumblingBudgie]

I don't know how she did it 😂 if my friends came running by dragging someone in a box I would have to follow to see what the heck they were doing

[@IsochronyxMC]

Especially because you _know_ this started with just one hermit.

[@MuljoStpho]

Was this part of Scar's recent zoo roundup shenanigans? I heard Doc's voice but didn't see who else flew by. That looked like they had a boat full of guardians though, and in the vod I watched it was all raid mobs that they were dealing with (plus a bit at the end of trying to wrangle the elytra-wearing zombie piglin that was near Scar's portal). No guardians.

[@dbseamz]

@@MuljoStpho Someone screenshotted it and I tried zooming in to see who it was. Whoever was towing the boat was using an invisibility potion, although that didn’t stop the guardians from shooting them. They had diamond armor. Two of the escorts were wearing Netherite (and I think one of them is Doc based on colors and nameplate length) and a third that might be False or Tango was in diamond. The other escort in Netherite was too far away to see much of their skin, but it looks like their armor might have amethyst trim so that could narrow down the potential suspects.

[@meccombs7629]

​@@MuljoStpho This was from a recent stream - the guardians were Tango's, and he gave them to Scar for the zoo (and the entertainment value of Scar trying to move them). Cub and then Doc (as well as Tango) gave Scar tips/potions to help him move them. Gem DID pop in briefly to (aggressively) give Scar pants, but then left again afterwards if I remember correctly. Edit: Not sure if Gem was streaming, but Tango and Scar were.

[@S0ur_Mushr00ms]

I love the fact that the song is 'Whaf do you do with a drunken sailor', which I see as hinting to the fact that Skizz was almost drunkenly oblivious to the fact that his stuff was missing.

[@salemoleander]

I always assume y'all are adults about 'conflict' and check in to make sure things are cool, but it is actually nice to see the curtain peeled back a little on occasion! It doesn't ruin it at all - I'd rather have the curtain peeled back & as a result have y'all feel comfortable taking bigger plot swings, than not pulling it back and as a result avoiding those big swings bc you're worried about backlash

[@dkSilo]

Seeing that pranks are pulled regularily on HermitCraft I've known for a long time that most stuff is asked/consented to beforehand or the prankster has ways to reset things to the original. Hence the accident with Scar and Grian at Doc's tunnel bore and Grian's very real "OOoh noooo!" They didn't plan on anything getting blown up and were genuinely shocked when they accidentally destroyed the work of their friend. So when the "offended" party is even there and interacting, I'm always certain the are in the know. Nice anyway to show that part. Great episode, as per usual. Loving your builds and can't wait to see the finished research facility and other stuff.

The consent and the wholesomeness of the pranks are what led me to Gem and Pearl originally when I was looking for MC content for my young kids. So many creators are rude, crass, gleefully callous, or talk a mile a minute with a million whiplash jump cuts. Once I started watching HC with my kids, i got completely hooked on a bunch of Hermits. I love watching their antics, comraderie, and creativity myself, and I feel good about my kids learning all that without fear of "it's just a prank, bro" mentality creeping in.

I can't speak for all people around my age but I think as an adult I really do not gaf about immersion in minecraft roleplay lol. I always figure that these episodes take a lot of planning and communication behind the scenes but it's nice to know for sure, and I think it's great you're disclosing stuff like that for your younger audience! personally I just watch because I love seeing a bunch of friends get up to shenanigans and make sick builds, and the half assed roleplay is silly (in a good way). I think it's a nice relief from stuff like the dreamsmp or skyedoesminecraft vids which I used to watch as a teen/young adult. I've grown out of that style of content, tried dreamsmp after a friend recommended it to me but couldn't get into it. I'd rather see people talk about behind the scenes stuff bc that's more interesting to me than just the roleplay imo.

I love the progress on the fortress! It's beautifully imposing so far. Also BIG fan of reminding viewers who may not think deeper than what you guys show on camera that you guys *do* check in with each other on pranks that involve destroying items

I love the snails!! LOL when Skizz kept not noticing things even when he had to have!! (I'm eagerly awaiting his POV to see if it really was bobby for the massive white nose on the ship lol!) And it's good to have the reminder that Hermitcraft is fun with friends and the lore and pranks never go too far for the hermits! You and Grian teaming up to both help and make fun of Skizz was so great! :D

I think this is also a good excuse for skizz to get rid of that poop gift without 'getting his hands dirty' 😂 since he promised to keep all of the gifts no matter how valuable or invaluable it it😂 I see what u did there skizz😏 Also thanks for peeling the curtains Gem, some people just gets too immersed in Hermitcraft that they forget that most of this interactive goofy back and forths, specially large scale projects/pranks/storylines, are collaboration that you talk the bits and pieces behind the scene and it's sad when fully immersed audience bring hate and bad comments on other hermits due to this exchanges completely forgetting that you guys are friends behind the screen

Some ideas for the castle: I think the terrain would look super cool as black to white (or vice versa) sand. And i was going to suggest towers with bridges but you already covered that 😂 On a side note, if you were wanting to add some cool lore to it, you could add a secret pirate hideout that pirates used after the tower was abandoned. And it could be a really cool aspect of your base!

I think the Portal tower could benefit from some kind of purple detailing to help make it recognizable or identifiable from the outside. Three options I thought of during the video itself that would still fit into the themes of the base in one way or another: 1. You have two flying fish orbiting your lighthouse. Could you move/add a purple one to be swimming to or from the portal tower? This would tie the two structures together and give you another layer of 3d detailing to break up the rigid lines of the towers and castle. 2. Deepslate and amethyst blocks already fit very well together, so you could add some texturing to the outside of the tower (on the level of the portal) made from amethyst to help display that there is something slightly different about that level of the tower. 3. Kind of similar, but you could add some purple glass emanating from the windows across from the portal to make it look like the purple light is shining out of the tower. I got this idea when I spotted Scar's portal in the distance and he has all the glass "particle effects" sticking out the back side of his structure.

I kind of miss seeing the Netherhub come together, it was always such a fun design and completely different every season. Shame they're not really having one this season!

[@Halfmoongirl]

[@capedkat]

I enjoy your finnicky, slowly and Interacty buildings Gem 💙 Not everyone can pull it off without it feeling too slow, but you always find that sweet spot to swing it out of the park and make it another banger episode😀 Thank you for doing what you do!

[@TheHighPhobia]

As someone who is both a huge fan of the Snails and all things pirate themed, this new developement is great for me. :D The Drunken Sailor Shanty was the Cherry on top.

[@TheTwilitHero]

I'm getting Wind Waker vibes from the jumping puzzles in the belly of a ship.

[@tsdk107]

So glad that someone else noticed!

[@guzkus1]

Gem thank you for that last clip, it shows how collaborative and truly special Hermitcraft is and I think makes us appreciate you guys all a lot more!
