Hermitcraft 10: Terror-forming & Trial Chambers with Smallishbeans! Ep. 20

[@CopCat]

Ren being a part of the chicken wedding feels just like a father being a part of their daughters tea party and I love it

[@chloeeeezy]

I love Ren's whole-hearted "yes, and" attitude towards the chicken wedding. No questions asked. Just average Hermit shenanigans.

[@Osmotic]

Witness a chicken wedding performed by another Hermit is just a typical afternoon for Ren

[@StevenIrwin1985]

It’s pretty on brand for Ren tbh 😂

[@Missmori]

Ren was the perfect person she could have gotten for this. his motto is basically "yes And" that should have been one of his TCG powers. LOL

Iskall has no fear of being judged. He has been trying to teach the Hermits this. The Joel Love thing is one example. Mission Impossible is another. "Act strange in front of others, and don't tell anyone why. Notice that the world doesn't collapse around you. Make it a part of your life. Have a better life."

[@S1LLYFL0WER]

this is beautiful

[@WaffleCat833]

That’s awesome! Where is that quote from? If it’s a video of his I want to watch it

[@NickAndriadze]

That's why he's one of my favourite hermits. He's weird, he knows it and is enjoying EVERY SECOND of it.

[@qubit0000]

Statements like these are dangerous as it influences impressionable young people who aren't developmentally mature enough to have sound judgment or think of long-term consequences. Iskall does NOT have a better life because of this and other personality traits. His world IS collapsing around him: he isn't trusted, can't compromise or collaborate, doesn't respect what other people want, degrades morale in the workplace. People avoid him. Iskall lives in a world of make-believe. In the real world, people like this end up in prison. He has a lot of adjusting to do with his "personality traits" as he's only found out what he is, and is rationalizing why he does what he does to his viewers. As this is a complex topic inappropriate for children, I would hope that policies have been put in place to prevent any online harm that may occur from this "point of view". I'm correcting this misconception, and time permitting, any others that may pop up as Iskall tries to change and manipulate the narrative.

[@S1LLYFL0WER]

@@qubit0000 can you.. explain this?? like I'm trying to understand this but you're being a bit dramatic, in my opinion. 💀💀

HELP AHHAHAHAHHAHHDAHDBAHHAHAHAHHAHAAH I DIED LAUGHING AT THAT PART

[@kaynebula2093]

For the mouth of the kraken, you know what would be cool? A hole to the void, as if the creature itself has a bottomless stomach. Edit: Also since you aren’t at deepslate level with the mouth, maybe you could make a long sinuous tunnel with rows upon rows of teeth that literally leads into the creature and then the void. I also feel the mouth is too small for making teeth, end rods would maybe fit the scale but they glow😅.

[@gasly1018]

Also the mouth of an octopus looks like a beak of a parrot. It's the only hard part of their body, if their beak can fit through something, they will fit through it as if they are fluid. Would love to see a beak on this monster

[@LunaiCarmen]

@@gasly1018 aren’t those creatures cool 😎

[@poyuuu8061]

Even better, put magma blocks around it so it sucks players down!

[@charlotte_piglover]

I think the teeth of the cracken should point the surface instead of inwards - it would make them look sharper and therefore scarier

[@bsidethebox]

She's got kind of a lamprey mouth going right now--honestly far more horrifying than an octopus beak, but lampreys definitely lack in the appendages/tentacular department. On the subject of Awful Undersea Creature Mouths, Gem's Hole of Horrors could definitely benefit from a moray eel in one of those side caves (initial set of jaws and teeth for grabbing and holding prey, _second set of jaws in their throats that dart forward to bite off chunks out of the captive prey_ 😶 My favorite WTF Is That, Nature? sea animal also has an excellently horrific mouth but I don't think it would translate well into blocks...but perhaps Cleo could rise to the challenge of an armor standed umbrella-mouth gulper eel (just Google it) on the basis of "it's creepy and that makes it awesome". 😁

[@TreeLobsterGuy]

Tip for the kraken mouth: Red is the first color to disappear in deep water. Assuming the kraken is supposed to be very deep, there would be no red in its mouth.

[@ryseintide9332]

conversely, a lot of deep sea creatures *are* red, for camouflage. so you could probably argue either way

[@wteff8586]

I would have also thought it should get very dark in the middle because it leads inside the beast

[@shye229]

​@@ryseintide9332 yes but for the purposes of the build you wouldnt be able to tell its red. unless theres some kind of biochromatic light source which could be a cool direction to take it

[@LunaiCarmen]

If you cut yourself under water your blood will look black…don’t ask how I know

[@charlotte_piglover]

[@shanesheffer74]

[@seakea]

the mouth of the monster could go a little deeper and have more layers of teeth that get darker.

[@PixelPulsePlayz-ro9yx]

Gem what is the hermitcraft seed?

[@nightmareshadow6913]

I agree with extra layers. Maybe also play around with a beak for the maw of the monster.

[@GanjaCoyote]

Yep more layers of smaller teeth will look a lot creepier / less goofy.

[@Cle-o]

I love that Gem is taking the squid, a deeply unserious and derpy little mob, and turning it into a deep-sea horror massive monster build. It has all the ingredients for horror in its normal form, it's just those silly little eyes that turn it into a lil guy.

[@RubbeUhh]

When i saw a squid for the first time when i just bought the game i called them "sea monsters" so its pretty funny to see that come full circle after all these years 😅

[@cmdoduck]

[@Thai8521]

celeste pfp spotted!

[@throneisbed7833]

The fear of deep water and things rising from it, is in fact a real fear! It's called "Thalassophobia" and it's quite something. However, it does also lead to some pretty fun horror inspiration. Loving the terrorforming though!

[@DarthRayj]

Was hoping someone would mention this!! I developed thalassophobia after an incident in a glacial lake when I was younger, and for me it's all about the deep water itself and not any creatures, but for some people it's all about the creatures and not the water. Minecraft water is just unrealistic enough that it doesn't bother me, but even in games like Subnautica or Outer Worlds that still have relatively cartoonish art I can find it hard to deal with.

[@aka_Lazer]

I love the reddit sub for that, not because i have the fear but because i love the ocean and theres frequently "cool" ocean pictures on there lol

[@sky_thesora662]

The magma blocks in the kraken’s mouth pulling objects in reminds me of the Greek mythology sea monster named Charybdis, who on a daily, swallows and throws up water to create a whirlpool… The fact that the kraken is located in a stream/river area alludes to the myth even more haha :) Tho Charybdis wasn’t a tentacled monster to my knowledge, I found it to be a fun reference

[@DarthRayj]

I know I've seen it depicted with tentacles before, but I don't think it was originally described with them, no

[@KaenRas]

The tentacles were from Charybdis' counterpart, the Scylla.

That second disc Joel found would give a cool little haunted sea shanty vibe for going down to your sea monster

[@WenWillow]

A kraken/mollusk/tentacle guy in real life I don't think would have teeth so that might be what's throwing you off. in real life, they have beaks like birds so maybe try that if you don't like the teeth? Also I have a cool idea, what if one of the little alcoves underwater had a smashed village house in it that a tentacle had taken, and then there would be the ruins of the house above water too. I think that would be super cool! Loved the episode and the build process btw! ✨

[@samagustin3540]

you could add like a dark spot with glowy eyes underwater staring at the artist's house. its not paranoia if they're really out to get you.

[@theimmortalhipster]

Ren was the best hermit for your quest because he will literally go along with anything and anyone now matter how weird😂😂😂

[@sweetie__bird7088]

I feel like if she doesn’t do anything with the air pocket cave. She can make a science lab (abandoned or not) that studying Kraken that she’s building. I think that will be very fun to see and everything.

[@FrostbyteFreeman]

Placing the moss-covered bogged skull in front of your own significantly larger moss-covered mountain head definitely gives you a good sense of scale... if you do end up putting some sort of lush cryptid-filled cavern inside the skull mountain, transporting a few bogged inside there to roam around might give the place a good sense of life since it sure seems like they'd belong! Stellar stuff as always, Gem.

[@saidsarapng]

46:04 Gem panicking about the baby zombies with diamond swords while joel is opening chests was SO FUNNY LOL

[@catlover2223]

I love the idea that the rock itself is a shell for this kraken’s body! It’s like the Lord of the Rings quote “They delved too greedily and too deep”- the kraken has always been here. Go too deep, and you will find it!

[@SLIM3GOD]

the warden also makes a cool heartbeat sound so you can make the lore so that the wardens heartbeat is the beartbeat of the kraken

[@samueldurston7328]

Some ideas for the kraken: I would reduce the number of teeth and make the existing teeth thicker, also maybe add some more depth to the mouth in height as well as in a colour gradient of red blocks so that the wool is not so pronounced. I would also decrease the number of tentacles at the bottom so that they are less cluttered. The gradient of dark blocks really helps for emphasis, and if the tentacles come out of the stone every once in a while on the way up, this would help it feel more ominous. Just some ideas!

[@gasly1018]

It needs a beak! Like a real octopus

[@0pearll__]

not ren singing a christmas song while being the flower girl 😭😭

[@gamerprodigy107]

Couple of ideas: -You should put magma block in the monster's mouth leading the surface like it is sucking you in. - maybe make the monster lead to the void so it is like you are actually being eaten. Also you can call it the abyssal kraken. - make a few armor stands people in the tentacles to look like people are being grabbed. Hope these help with the build.

[@Evi_is_a_goof.-.]

[@GSBarlev]

I love that they both went in knowing nothing. The empty chests (they're for dumping your garbage); the trying to put a regular key into an ominous vault; the being surprised by the loot and having not heard "Precipice" in advance-I'm almost envious that (unlike my terminally online self) they got to experience them "spoiler free."

[@enderdragon2233]

In addition to the Warden, I think you should add an Elder Guardian to the Kraken's mouth as a nice jump scare (outside of range of the Warden's sonic boom of course). Also I think you should actually build out the Kraken's stomach and decorate it with lots of bones and mob heads for those brave enough to venture into the belly of the beast. You could also fill it with guardians and trident drowneds if you want to make it especially nightmarish in there.

[@Mih_Soares]

This mission made me imagine the most ridiculously funny end of season event 😂😂😂 Imagine that: After all their intrepid adventures together (and all of the diamonds they "made of it"), our favorite Snail Duo are going to hold a grand wedding! They invite the entire server for the event and ask Scar to be one of their best men. Everyone makes peace, and after the wedding.... The Snails are seen going for a long vacation.... With Scar's Zoo train. That they just "borrowed" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 For some reason this picture appeared in my mind and now I can't stop thinking about it 😆. It would be epic! Absurd and probably ridiculous, but epic 😂

I love watching people's creative process so yes absolutely don't doubt including the "ugly" phase of the process. I enjoy seeing the steps it takes to achieve the final outcome. I don't know for others but for me, I tend to think about things backwards when seeing these builds and sometimes I get intimidated because I assume that the result was the inteneded result from the beginning, but seeing how it transforms through each step allows me to get better at visualizing.

[@i_ate_an_ant]

I think the teeth and the red wool are very bright, and maybe their brightness in reading as less scary? Maybe sandstone or dripstone for the teeth and red terracotta for the mouth?

[@nelleriver5359]

for the teeth of the deep monster mouth, maybe there could be some sandstone to add some yellowish color and/or a few walls to make them feel more sharp!

[@SaylorTwift-mx4mq]

Hey Gem I wanted to say thank you for all you have done for me . I have a strep throat infection which gets me really sick a lot and your videos have given me something to look forward to when I’m sad or to distract me when I don’t feel my best. You always cheer me up so thank you so so so much!

[@chilledgaming8485]

I kind of want skizz not to build the bridge just to see the pink piramid LOL

[@CrystalizedRoar]

A few ideas for the kraken; One: you could put a whole bunch of stained glass in the mouth of the kraken, kind of like how Fwip made bottomless pits out of red stained glass in empires smp season one. I think it would look really spooky to get down there and it look like there’s no end to it. Two: adding a bit more magma blocks so it pulls you down into the kraken’s mouth. Three: putting a few more tentacles attacking the anthologist’s house and that’s why she’s so paranoid. Gem feel free to use any or none of them, if you even see this, I just thought I would share. :)

[@maartenb6638]

I love seeing the process of things being made. I can listen hours to people talking about their creative process.

[@gracepaisley]

Fantastic episode!!! So much fun to have the long episode with two halves. It looked like you had a ton of fun with Joel in the trial chambers, and i love the matchie shields. Joel killing Skizz was absolutely hilarious. Im so excited to see the kraken or giant squid monster fellow come to life!!! I love the vision and cant wait to see how it comes around. 🥳

[@Bookworm-re3ou]

Absolutely please continue showing the full process. When I started watching mcyt two years ago after a seven year break, I adored that you showed the full process rather than the timelapses that seemed common. It really made me nostalgic for mindcrack days, and it's why I continue coming back to your videos every time you upload.

[@evorikee]

GEM !!! I have an idea for one of the underwater caves- seeing as they're dripstone caves , maybe you can keep one of them dry and have the dripstones formed like teeth of a creature's mouth , and in it is a small abandoned campsite of adventurers that tried to discover what lied underneath the village !! :D it would also add to the eerieness that it's somehow the only dry cavern in the underwater cave system , and the horror of knowing that it was the last resting place of the adventurers before they fell victime to whatever was lurking beneath !! ^^ i think this could fit well , but if you wanna flood all the caves then it's your choice ultimately , i just thought that maybe there should be a bit of variety in the underwater horror caverns :p

[@m0nster192]

Love how you are winging it with builds this season just using blocks you have on hand

[@masen0593]

I love that you show the weird process of trial and error that we all go through. It can get really frustrating when a project doesn't seem to work, but it's nice to see the thoughts going through you head during creating! The base is coming along great!!! You could have some of the arms go in to the caves around it so we see more of its size.

[@Funnypun418]

"Etho and friends: red and orange" "I just don't remember what colours we get here" sounds great out of context

[@laineywright2696]

[@jonay684]

So cute 💔

[@zeroknight1311]

So suggestion for more horror to be included in your base; Have an ominous eldritch eye in the hole which the mud paths of the streams leads into. After all, the game Dredge does have an Eldritch entity appear in it. Which makes it only natural for something similar would be at the bottom of the hole. Also, I think the eye should be a similar designed to what we see of Hermeaus Mora's eyes when he appears in Skyrim. Edit: Okay, the Kraken idea works well. Tho, it would be cool if its an Eldritch Kraken.

[@crefsy]

12:00 for the monster mouth, i think you could layer stained glass in it to make it have like a murky effect? the red wool can be the very bottom of the mouth, and then layering black/purple/red stained glass might make it work better, even if you have a conduit giving you night vision! (edit - i was absolutely thinking of grian’s starry night sky process when typing this hah) and thank you for the long episode!!

[@notagoat281]

On the bright side, once the build is finished, the drowned might make it feel even spookier. Think of them like the spirits of all the sailors the monster has drowned/eaten, cursed to rise from the dead to drag more unfortunate souls down to the depths for the monster to feast on.

[@Josh-gd8uz]

Yes Gem we(or at least I) very much enjoy seeing the process behind the build. It's just not something you see from a lot of creators.

[@emdoeslife1355]

YAY a long gem Hermitcraft video to kick off the summer holidays

[@Scatterbrained_Watching]

It could be pretty cool to adjust your colours as you go deeper and deeper in the lake, as colours begin to look very different the deeper you get in the ocean. Idk how actually functional that would be, but it’s an interesting concept. Almost kind of a forced perspective thing that would, ideally, really sell that deep ocean horror vibe. Red is famously pretty much the first colour to disappear, so that may also be why you think your kraken mouth is looking a bit off

Seeing the building process of your builds, especially since you do it so well, actually really helps me get better at building and inspires me to build my own stuff more than timelapses do!

I have absolutely been loving seeing the process on hermit craft this season. It’s been so interesting and it’s helped me improve my own building so much.

That fear you mentioned is Thalassophobia, and you're doing a good job of recreating it

[@bowied5048]

a fear of deep water is called thalassophobia! it’s actually relatively common, and i can really understand why with this kracken build lol. very scary, excellently done

[@RryhhbfrHhgdHhgd356]

16:29 I’m old school and very much like watching the process. It’s actually why I watch Minecraft videos these days, I think it is cool to see.

53 Minutes?!? Woahh Gem!! Exciting :D

[@Der_Muffin_Mann]

I've been watching your channel for years and I just wanna say thank you for making videos, I can barely express how happy and excited I get when I click on them

You should have remembered 2 seeds for the wedding. Hearts, a kiss and a baby.. Perfect end.

[@JohnFiala]

I love this method of building, where we get to see what mistakes and discoveries that you make.

[@Maddibitts]

Oh my gosh! It would be so cool if you added a large storm/storm clouds above your area, Gem! I feel like that would add so much to the creepy atmosphere!

Purple, eh? Well, pearl is selling purpur, and it hasn't been going well. Kind of like the pickles...

[@lilyoftheflame]

Get your revenge.

[@PJOMincrafterhp]

Yes yes and yes

[@allisong112233]

I love seeing the building process! Yes it's fun to see builds come together quickly, but getting to watch the process is so helpful for learning build techniques! Plus seeing your creative process is just fun in general!

[@JayDeeMac]

53 minutes?!!! Well I know what I'm doing for the next hour of my life! And you and Joel together? I'm expecting chaos 😁

[@justpeachels]

honestly i think bringing in some glass fog and dark clouds would do wonders to spookify the area

[@Van-dq4sw]

I think it's pretty enjoyable to see the Process of adjusting the build live, tbh. It feels very natural to how things get made in general, and if you enjoy doing it, we'll enjoy seeing it.
