So I finally did it wholesomely! - Hermitcraft Behind The Scenes

[@f0ren51c5candy]

Iskall has the best lore, he woke up and then just did it

[@jsw973]

It was revealed to him in a dream, just like prophets of old

[@stasi0238]

He is the one punch man of Minecraft

[@ayymenalsabahi5440]

​@@jsw973As it is written!

[@creativecraving]

You're right! The lore is excellent and inviting!

[@ironman_phantom]

😂lol

[@thod-thod]

I kinda prefer the base without lore, it just happens to be what Iskall felt like building. Here, he feels like adding the lore of an internet cafe, and that feels good. If he forced himself to spend ages working on something without enjoying it, that’d feel worse

[@youtubeSuckssNow]

I do love watching his brain squirm trying to piece together something he likes

[@dawshonaragma8263]

Yes

[@CsongorBikki]

I tried watching other hermits' videos but it felt so artificial. I enjoy iskalls because he is for real and genuine

[@aether-mh9iy]

It feels more real without the lore being forced but I feel like this was more natural

[@edwardscott3262]

Yeah the lore starts out funny then it just ends up feeling like they are constrained by it. Instead of building what they want they struggle to figure out something that fits. But it's Unhinged Iskall and season 10 rated X so who knows what might happen.

[@annab.1844]

Lore: the world will blow up if you don’t stop the alarm in less than two minutes

[@Victor-SPQR]

"I can't do lore" proceeds to give Etho a backstory.

[@bbgun061]

It should have been "We tho wathed up..."

[@bodhiyonzon8912]

His full name was "We washed up tho" then he shortened it to Wetho. He had to remove the first letter cause he didnt deserve the W. some people even call him Letho

[@melsunday1991]

Some say that he still uses Wetho as his alt account. jk

[@BdoubleL86]

A space in the wrong spot would be bad though...

[@pomodoko]

Legit, people have their own ways of approaching their builds. Some have lore and some don't. That's completely fine! Stress's base is dedicated to her past seasons, so that's cool. Etho's been winging it since forever and just builds his base to accomodate whatever he needs! It's okay to take your time! And it's super okay to not have lore. I don't think it's as ever important as your enjoyment of the game.

[@owowarrior864]

i love all the unique approaches everyone has. and if people want lore, they tend to just create it themselves based off of what the hermits have already done anyways :3

[@AkodoKusamoto]

*Iskall's alarm he built goes off* "We can't turn it off manually. We have to be in pain; I don't make the rules." Two episodes ago: *LITERALLY MADE THE RULES*

[@rudrodeepchatterjee]

Joel- YES YOU DO!

[@Th3Psych0hippy]

if you need lore, build a fight club

[@Anna_Evan]

Joel has a sword club but you didn't hear it from me.

[@nikapanda160]

Container fight club (Fight with shulkers, chests, barrels, etc.)

[@dupiglupi2355]

We don't talk about fight club outside of the fight club

[@cameronlegree]

Everyone here broke the first rule of fight club

[@unjoying9850]

Don’t talk of it

[@crimulusmc]

"I suck at lore" ... proceeds to lore all over the place.

[@kylekreger]

It's lore-n' time

[@neopalm2050]

14:32 There it is. It's an _Australian_ internet café. The tables and chairs will be on the ceiling. It even ties into your base's general theme of chaos (which, there could be an in-universe explanation for why this place is so chaotic at some point as soon as one finds its way to you. Alternatively, the chaos could just speak for itself without a need to be tied together by some explanation).

[@gnomifaxpaw9689]

Please let this become reality😂

[@confusedSoulof2010]

I second this idea

[@esdraskuhn8896]

Have some hostile mobs in there too, Australia is a dangerous place after all

[@SimonOpsi]

I third this idea

[@MoonyFBM]

AHHHH

[@Th3Psych0hippy]

if you want some lore, ask Joel to have a baby with you. Trust me it'll be great.

[@riztiz]

yes

[@wonder577]

😂

[@Th3Psych0hippy]

Iskall this is a genuine real request, just so we are super clear here.

[@riztiz]

@@Th3Psych0hippy ofc

[@FemMushroom]

I did not expect lskall and Pearl to have such a good dynamic.

[@stevena105]

Yeah! Why does this feel like the first time we've seen them together?

[@FemMushroom]

@@stevena105 the 10 hour time difference is probably part of it

[@acidslushie]

saying "im not lying about that" , muting to say "im lying." and unmuting without missing a beat absolutely killed me

[@rileyzimmerman6391]

I'm loving this season because a lot of the hermits are just doing what they want to do which is more enjoyable than fabricated content imo

[@FemMushroom]

Make lore when you want it, but you never want to feel trapped by it. You can just throw any lore you don't enjoy working with anymore out. That chaos is why we like you.

[@pendelluft]

Pearl: Your story has a lot of holes. Iskall: Yeah, it's wholesome, ain't it? Pearl may be perfect but Iskall is ingenious. That was very clever, kudos! And Pearl is just weird enough in her own way to get along with you. In fact, she's much more of a weirdo (I say that in the most positive way possible) than she lets on in collabs. It would be cool to see you and Pearl do more together! The internet cafe idea is awesome! I like the thought of you have multiple shops on the ground floor of the building. They don't even have to be fancy since you're going for a "PAC" post-apocalyptic chaos-punk, right? The shop next to the internet cafe could be destroyed having been looted/set on fire. Maybe it was a lawyer office lol

[@Elias___]

I never thought pearl and iskall would be a hilarious pair to watch but here we are. Now I will hope for scar and iskall interaction

[@MrTrolltle]

That happened earlier in the season, when Scar killed Iskall

[@angelshine64]

oh oh oh! Laundromat next to the Internet Cafe :D I absolutely love the interaction you have with everyone

[@John-lx8iu]

I love how the video just abruptly ends on "this is dead space". 😂

[@justpeachels]

i bet adam would love to move in to the cafe once it's all furnished :)

[@silversamm]

Might get sued by Cleo for copyright infringement xD

[@selkie96]

Iskall, you cant force lore it will feel awkward you have to let the ideas come to you, if its in the back of your mind you will eventually come up with something good Or you can do whatever your in charge , your channel your choice :D

[@bigpapi7589]

Agreed i think once that factory comes together something in the back of his mind will cook up something nice. even if its a far out there idea

[@owowarrior864]

and with the things the hermits create and the interactions they have, the audience usually ends up building their own lore around it anyways :]

[@vphxn]

iskall and pearl interaction is awesome!! pearl is perfect

[@Hazzaca]

Miniature blast furnace looks like impulses face

[@Finnaware]

This new Wetho lore is crazy

[@molliebowling7029]

Petition for Iskall to sell miniatures of Etho in a secret no-permit shop and call them Weetho. Later he could expand the shop's offerings to include all kinds of underground goods. The Weetho figurine could be the mascot for the shop and players who are in the know about the underground market would also display their Weetho figurines in their bases. When "The Man" inevitably raids the illegal shop it can all be blamed on Etho because it appears to be his shop.

[@Scanlaid]

I liked the bit where Iskall was like it's loring time and lored all over the place

[@Crayonberry1212]

Iskall is by far my favorite hermit. It literally doesn't matter what you do in the game, I'm here for it.

[@owowarrior864]

i think the best lore is made when hermits have fun, do what they wish. and then, the audience can create the lore themselves based on what they're given :] i feel like that ends up happening, a lot of the time.

[@milohobo9186]

The Postman is a novel by David Brin where a guy finds an old Postmaster uniform in a destroyed mail truck. You could build a destroyed mail truck and have your mailbox in there on the way to your front door. The email coffee shop is cool too.

[@lukiluke9295]

Pearl is perfect

[@Mudkips567]

I cool base idea would be cranes holding up more shipping containers so his current one isnt the only one

[@DoughnutDragon]

Pearl and iskall is such a good combo. 7:53 "sounds great to have your job" lol i love how direct iskall is.

[@sparkyphillips310]

While saying you can't do lore and the alarm is going off and we are all " oh gosh hurry iskall omg go faster the whole neighborhood omg " and he's like " oh yeah well we can't just turn it off we gotta stick with it " lol

[@lepsnexus6893]

My trick for lore: do what you want to, build what you wants to, and do it backwards from there. Have a nice cottage? Maybe a woodsman lives in there (or you ARE the woodsman). Have an an apolocyliptic battlefield? Maybe radiation or a giant monster destroyed civilization.

[@nulllord2883]

I don't need Iskall to make lore, I can make it myself. He is clearly a TNT factory owner who bought an abandoned Willy Wonka chocolate factory and is moving his operation into it, having to make due with the chaotic layout from the previous owner's chaotic whims. The fact that Iskall doesn't make lore adds to the idea that he is just a new person moving into an already existing structure that he doesn't care about the lore of as long as he can use it for his own needs. The lore builds itself through the buildings and the mystery of what it could have been is excellent.

[@andyjoseph]

You should hook up the “alarm” to the mailbox so u know when you have mail

[@1st1anarkissed]

Lore: back story. So far you have indicated that there was an apocalypse and that a civilization before lived in modern apartments with shops and a mail system. They have kept a lot of their tech going with neon lights and still having mail and etc. Lore flows from creativity and creativity flows again from the lore.❤

[@newwavepop]

Hmm, the alarm going off isn't as funny when Stress doesn't come over fuming mad and yell at him LOL

[@windmill9998]

i just finished bingeing the last 5 or 6 vodskall-vods (i often end up watching a lot at once and then nothing for a lil while, and then a lot at once, and so on.. dunno why lol), and i was a bit sad when i finished the last one - "NOW what am i gonna do??" and then BAM, here you are once again! :3 thank you so much for all the great stuff, iskall, i absolutely love your stuff (and your builds look GREAT, don't let anyone tell you otherwise) keep it up, my friend, and keep having fun!! as long as you do, we will too :))

[@_asteroidmerchant]

With crafters, it should be possible to write a book once, copy it once for each hermit, and then feed the shulkers and stamps into the mail system automatically like a bulk mail sender 😀

[@rakadtwitta]

Spammail.... wonder what would happen if a user got 4 "mails/shulkers" sent at the same time, my guess is that the shulkers wont stack in the system...

[@ski9019]

Pearl didn't feel ready for Iskall's brand of chaos lmao

[@isobarkley]

i have an ideaskall!!! for one of the corners of the build/maybe just a little building within, it'd be really cool to do a triangle shaped wall. so flat from stress's side, but it juts in diagonally for a bit on the other side up to a point! it's a super interesting way to add even more chaos to the structure. sending u lots of energy + inspiration !!

[@Telconsar]

I think Iskall's lore is just being a chaotic person who is bad at lore.

[@Alpha_TheBreadlord]

I love the new style of playing and recording, its so relatable. BTW can't wait for vault hunters, I'm dying for it.

[@bridgestew]

With or without lore, I have been really enjoying your videos this season. It seems like you are having so much fun. :)

[@Gojibeere99]

8:25 "so I am one of the pioneers" I love pearls "weeeeeell" "Are you calling me 'mid'?" - silence - "maybe a little bit less than that" I LOVE IT, LOVE THEIR NATURAL BACK AND FORTH AND LAUGHING TOGETHER AFTERWARDS

[@nija0dragon461]

Wait why do i get the hunch that iskall is just envisioning borderlands when he builds his base. Or maybe he never stops thinking about it xD

[@Ms_Crafty_]

Lore? Who needs it! We want CHAOS!

[@BoliVic96]

but threre is lore! you are the madman that's taking care of a runned off old factory with extremely dangerous components, this factory was around a almos abandoned comunity(if you do the villager apartment thing) and everything is kinda 90s so we can say this is when the factory died and now only Iskall remains, that's also a cool excuse to build 90ish things

[@Craftidore]

I will enjoy your episodes with or without lore

[@terenaschoenberger]

Who needs lore, we love your randomness and your collaboration with Stress.

[@everettadams4900]

If you could make it look like a revolving door it would look cool on a corner and it would go with the theme and the exhaust fan lol

[@paulelderson934]

I personally don't care for lore. It can actually be a detractor imo. I do admire when someone dictates their building choices on some made up backstory, since then the buildings and the area feel connected and logical. But I really dont care when they start going on about who lived where and what their lives were like.

[@B33Tail_]

I loved seeing pearl and iskall interactions as i feel we dont see many! Very cool times!!

[@cuboidalpear5241]

I am not worried about the lore, I just like watching you and not to be creepy I like watching your brain work and thought process

[@RedLameDog]

Could you put all the furniture on the ceiling to be an Aussie internet café?… lore. Uh 😉

[@euler4273]

Iskall: "I'm really bad with lore". Also Iskall: redefines his persona around a slime block which he renamed, designs an entire pantheon for Vault Hunters, started the revolution against the NHO, ...

[@pomodoko]

Why do you even need lore in the first place? Your presence is lore itself.

[@MegaLokopo]

Australians didn't invent the internet or the internet connection or wifi. It was invented by many people all over the world over many years.

[@Susan14.]

Watching Iskall run circles around Pearl just reminded me of when Gem interacts with her. Pearl is used to the chaos 😂

[@popcorn6057]

lol when the video ended i had an ad for a thing that stops the spam mail lol

You should flip the doors that have pressure plates, so they close when people try to walk through the door.

[@vmufinn]

[@Saturday_Jones]

Non-canon lore is Iskall experimenting with texture, and color while channeling his inner Grian (party in the front, nothing in the back)

[@cantankerous5051]

Oh no...I just saw a person dancing in the shape of pearls hair on her vest and I don't think I can unsee this.

[@cantankerous5051]

[@keye1200]

iskaaaalll you designed an entire modpack and i think it was pretty lore-y so imo you've got this ❤❤❤ maybe you could make vault hunter-ish lore? but do what makes you happy and don't make lore if you don't like it! either ways your videos are great and the vodskall setup is making this season really fun!

idea: make an ageisent garage to the shop for consistency

[@s0ul117]

All the lore you need is he is Heinzkall Doofenshmirtz his arch nemesis is Agent Perry The platypus. He has built the Doofenshmirtz Evil inc. tower that holds his creeperinator of Doom. Splattered mustard on the side to drive the TRI-NEIGHBORHOOD AREA crazy. Built an alarm to warn the Tri-Neighborhood Area if his rocketinator Factory of Evil will blow up while he is Grocery shopping. Then he built a missioninator to force the entire TRI-NEIGHBORHOOD AREA to do all the hilarious pranks he has never had time to do because he is busy building his inator to take over the whole TRI-NEIGHBORHOOD AREA. What more will he do? How will Agent P stop him? Watch more videos and find out.

[@s0ul117]

The containerinator that holds all his Evil schemes. He built the Norm the robot. Captured cute minions that destroy all the diorite in the Tri-neighborhood Area. Dont get started on the all atractive faninator he put on the side that distracts all the residence of the Tri-Neighborhood Area.

I don’t watch Hermitcraft for the lore. I want fun entertainment, to be able to forget about work and life problems for a bit. Ren’s lore is fine, it fits his personality and he has fun with it. You, sir, do not need lore. You wear fun like a coat, it goes with you everywhere - by yourself or interacting with others, I just enjoy being along for the laughs. And I laughed at your alarm going off- a funny interruption.

[@wadeolsson856]

[@carloshenrique0306]

I liked when iskall had the whole iskallium lore. I think he could invest in something like that again

[@MeltedMask]

I am lore master and I can tell lore is easy. First comes a lore - then we proceed to blore, - we check time from clore. - Dlore met Flore in midnight and Elore was middleman in negotiation. - Glore was impressed with services of Hlore. - At next day I-lore, marketing leader of global Fruit product was testing next gen Jlore and Klore devices. Llore was left out, because nobody cannot pronounce it. - Mlore and Nlore was brothers in alpha/beta war. - Olore was using his trusty ex-Plore rocket to go far and beyond, and met alien Qlore who was almost identical, how funny is that? - in mirror world Rlore is word that every swedish need to pronounce correctly or they will exiled to Finland. - Next lore is slur and we skip it. - Tlore, Ulore and Vlore was three Ice jotun who was anchestral founders of great Iskall family: Ice, cold and gold. - Nobody knows, Wlore, Xlore, Ylore, Zlore but we know, many things can happened in the Twilight zone.

[@zallesyn4686]

iskall, here is a tip to build lore: don't think of a random thing and try to incorporate it into the builds, instead try looking at your builds and immagine what it is, who would build it and how they would live around it. like lets take your cilinder thingy, its rusty, leaky, that already tells us its not well mantained, so why? you mentioned one option of it being a postapocaliptic thing, then expand on it, maube people are now forced to live more compactly so you see diy homes filling the gaps between "normal" buildings. the more you ask/answer these things the more ideas will come on how to continue the builds, how to reinforce those ideas ecc
