In Loving Memory - How TFC Joined Hermitcraft

[@speedlag]

I loved when X and TFC teamed up in a UHC match together. X took TFC into the nether and it didn't go so well. But TFC was so cool and chill about it, just staying with Xisuma till the end. I think about that one often, definitely my favorite memory.

@@xisumavoid As a retired minister, and a certified old geezer, allow me to reassure you that your process for grief is not unhealthy. It allows you to keep functioning, without being overwhelmed by emotion. It even places you in a position to be there for others, when the emotion overwhelms them. Sometimes, the only person who can reach a grieving person is someone who shares their grief. I think anyone who interacted directly with TFC will always carry a piece of him in their heart, as I certainly do. Keep spreading joy, and being an honest friend to others. That's the legacy he leaves with us. 🤠👍

[@CZghost]

Exactly. When my great granny died, I was silent, didn't really express any emotions outside. But when I was alone, and it all downed on me, I shed a tear. I've had amazing memories with my great granny. She was well witted, always vigilant, and she was often talking about her encounters and experiences with a verve, and her impression skills were quite good. The way she impressed her friends and relatives when talking about her experiences with them, I always laughed, because it always sounded so funny. When I was alone, I paid a silent goodbye to her, and to this day, remembering her to her birthday we always have to take a shot for her. She would start every day with a glass of beer, and she would always have so many chocolates, bonbones, chips, crackers and peanuts ready for any visitors. I'm so grateful to experience her even in my early adult days, and while the funeral wasn't a big ceremony, the few of us in our family and friends circles who gathered there (it was also the very first funeral I've attended - but definitely won't be the last one), we had a quite good time afterwards, we talked with each other, friends and family members who haven't seen each other in years, etc. So in the end there was this positive aspect that her unfortunate passing bringed long forgotten bonds together again, when we've met up at the funeral. I know for sure that this is definitely not the only funeral I'll attend. There will be more, and it may be sooner than I'm willing to admit to myself. But in the end, it's not about the loss of a loved one, it's about the good memories we made along the way.

[@thedoctorTARDIS]

I once heard a good analogy for grief... If you imagine a room, and on one wall there is a button. Every time that button is pressed it causes pain. Grief is a ball that bounces around in that room. It starts massive, pressing the button near constantly. If you bottle it up the ball never gets smaller. But the more you process the grief - the smaller the ball gets. It's still there. It doesn't vanish. But it gets smaller and smaller until it hardly ever hits that pain button any more. Sometimes it will happen still. But it gets less frequent. So it's easier to go about your day again.

[@CentaurionArcher]

TFC's passing has helped me realise that I'm not good at dealing with death. While TFC was never that KZbinr I always had to watched, he reminded me of my late father, and I think I had unconsciously used TFC as a coping mechanism for some repressed grief there. With TFC's passing, I feel I'm back in the days where I was too busy to grieve and ended up just repressing it

[@WanderingWolfe]

We all have to take grief in our own time. I sense a bit of guilt, or regret, in your comment, and want to tell you that you don't need to feel either. Sometimes we need to hold it all in until the time is right to let it out. As long as you take that time when it comes, you'll be ok. I wish you the best.

[@PotatoTechInd]

Personally, I don't think the passing of Techno made TFCs passing any harder or easier. Both were great people and both will be missed, but to me both passings are single events. Neither is ideal, but one doesn't amplify the other. They are both hard in their own ways. Rest in peace.

[@shirota3978]

@@PotatoTechInd I think that this is kind of an individual perception thing… This year I have experienced a lot of deaths of people who were significant to me. It almost feels like at one moment something in the world has broken and started an unfortunate yet predictable row of terrible events. As for me, I couldn’t say, that it is the fact, that particular person died that makes it so sad. I was devastated to hear about the death of both Techno and TFC. I don’t think, that the order of events really is important here. But this is overall feeling of death taking people away from you, like when you hear those news again and again, this is what makes you even sadder, I think. It may be emotionally draining for some people, when they just started to get things back to where they were only for everything to fall apart again. How X said - everyone deals with grief differently…

[@Jojo.F87]

I am two years into dealing with the loss of my beloved younger sister, who was like a miniature TFC in the sense that Minecraft, to her, was only mining. All the mining. I also tend to bottle stuff up and just...power through stuff instead of addressing it. Therapy was my first time actually venting and addressing my own grief and oh boy, was it a very hard process to begin. Still not sure if I feel any better, but hey. At least I can talk about her these days. I say all this just to say, I really do understand the pain of losing someone who you care for, especially in such a sudden way. HermitCraft is a Minecraft family and I am sure that you guys are feeling this loss as though it was your own family. It's so hard to process and everyone is so different and varied in how we process grief and hard times. I imagine all of you are having a tough time navigating this event and my heart goes out to y'all. Rest in peace, TFC.

[@Gilsworth]

I really enjoy how unedited his videos are. I always felt like I got to explore the server as if I was actually playing on it, seeing where things are in relation to each other, the travelling, his shopping sprees, and the accompanying booming laughter and lighthearted, sometimes self-deprecating, jokes that always came along. I love how he surprised people with just how many diamonds he had managed to amass in season 6. His Fallout inspired bunker is one of my favorite builds especially after Cleo, another Fallout fan, came along and filled the place with amazing armor stands characters. According to his obituary he was a hermit in real life too. A true hermit who still had a fondness for other people. When the community came together to help him get some exercise equipment was another beautiful moment and it showed how much people care for him and how much he cared for them. I'm never one to form parasocial relationships with the people that I watch but his passing hit me surprisingly hard. I cried when I learned about it and still get misty eyed thinking about it and yet I never knew the man - but I know what he meant to a lot of people both online and in real life. He had a very avuncular vibe to him and almost felt like the server's grandfather. He often forwent flying because of a shoddy internet connection but my affection for him soars beyond the cloud. To borrow a term from Pratchett GNU Tinfoil Chef. Thanks for all the laughs and adventures, missed but not forgotten.

[@WritingsOfQuill]

I think it's a normal response to grieve for someone by feeling sad that you didn't know them better when they were around. Death hits hard even if it was someone that we didn't know super well or for very long. Your branch mine sounds like a fitting tribute.

[@keithbroh5730]

He's has been the only guy I would start watching again and again. For me, the best moment was that het mentioned me in his video, commenting on how I gave him some building advice. I think, he is special. RIP TFC, I will miss you Boss.

[@TruthIsTheNewHate84]

I didn't know much about TFC as I just found him in season 8. I enjoy watching all of the hermits videos and all the crazy builds and redstone they do. I really enjoyed TFC's content because it was more like how I played. It felt more relatable to me. I also love mining. I get on MC and catch myself spending hours just strip mining. Although I enjoy the other hermits videos their builds are way out of my legue. I tend to watch them and get a bit frustrated with myself when I can't build anything close. Then I watch a TFC video and realize it doesn't matter. Just play and have fun. So that's what I do, i go and build some simple things and mine as much as I can. I'm definitely going to miss TFC's uploads.

When hermitcraft season 9 started, I wasn't super into it and didn't watch it until recently, and now, over a year after his passing I am finding out about it. It's kind of strange to think about a youtuber dying. You never knew them personally, they didn't know you existed, and life goes on and I guess the only time you realize the weight of it is when you see one of their old videos, or notice that they haven't uploaded in a while, and then you kind of realize that you'll never hear from this person again, not for the rest of time. You'll never quite feel how you did when you were watching their videos ever again, or excitedly click the notification on their latest upload. Rest in peace, TinFoilChef.

I love that TFC was the Hermit's cool uncle down in the strip mines. He will be missed.

[@christophfischer2773]

I think a great way to commemorate him would be to start a new tradition. Every season should have a sort of historical monument that is built by the entire hermit community.

[@ussxrequin]

I was watching a video recently that said something along these lines. Each person grieves uniquely, because each person has different memories of any given thing. If you cherished something, your grief for when it is gone is stronger. So even if others don't grieve the same amount as you, everybody's grief is valid. Xisuma, if you grieve the way you do, that's normal, natural, and okay. Same to everyone else. You're all beautiful.

[@snotrajohnson]

Thank you for the stories about TFC, truly. He seemed like such a grounded individual, and one with a great sense of humour. I greatly enjoyed his videos and his everlasting delight at seeing the builds and shenanigans the rest of the Hermits got up to as he wandered around on those intermittent sightseeing tours he took. Everyone grieves differently, for sure. Sharing stories of the person being mourned, and of their interactions with others and the world, can often help people process at least some of the complicated (and uncomplicated) feelings they may have. They may also provide some comfort, especially to his loved ones, as the stories illustrate what TFC meant to so many others.

Several tried to push that there should be more on-camera involvement with TFC because it felt like he wasn't being treated equally. ... then TFC said that him being by himself is his choice and is how he's played for a long time. The others hermits were more than happy to help him if he ever needed it, but he wanted to do things a lot of the time himself. Even brought up saying that he was a hermit in the truest sense. He just did his thing every day on his own and was completely fine with it.

Thank you so much for sharing your memories of some of the moments you shared with TFC. The death of a friend or loved one affects people differently and we all react to it in our own way. But there is usually someone to step up and organize some kind of memorial service to honor the person and give people a chance to celebrate them and say farewell or see you on the other side. Do we want to go most would say no but we do out of respect and to give their family support. I wish I could have been able to do that for TFC. I thought it was a big deal Hermitcraft lost their one true Hermit. I felt like TFC deserved it. So thank you again Xisuma for this video from someone who started watching one Hermit about 6 years ago to watching and loving all Hermits.

I appreciated the heck out of TFC's apology about that controversy. I think it takes great strength to admit one's wrongs and even greater strength to understand the hurt that one's actions or words might cause. I think TFC owned that, and like, he didn't try to separate himself from the mistake he just said what he learned from it. It was very humble and very real and it reminded me alot of my dad coming to terms with my partner. You know? Like... people don't need to be static, many people aren't static, and it's not our moments of bad decisions that define us, it's what we learn from our moments of bad decisions that make us grow.

I want to be honest I didn’t even know who TFC was or that he was even a Hermit on the server. He sounded like a very chill guy and I know he’ll be missed.

[@Shrakathan]

I sorta hope there will be commemorative TFC Branch mine in all future seasons. Just there, not specifically pointed out and drawn attention to. Just something to bring him along in memory

[@2ManyGoats]

I only discovered him this season. He was a hard man to find

[@Darx97]

I’m sad I only found him last season, but since I found him I always watched his vids and went back to watch some older ones too, truly sad and didn’t expect to happen so sudden

[@titus42069]

It would be really nice to see the hermits make some sort if combined tribute to TFC. I do understand why that is hard but one really good idea I saw people talking about is next season of hermitcraft all the hermits can have a group strip mine in a similar style to TFC’s. This would be a good not to in your face way to remember him for what he did and a good way for the hermits to honor him together. It would also be a nice way to bring TFC into future seasons even though he has passed.

[@sagebauer1077]

Many hermits have said they will when they feel ready and know what they want to do. Scar built something already

[@mystieflower]

rest in peace tfc

[@atariischaotic]

As someone who has had to deal with a lot of people, friends and family members at a young age the comment of “When people are grieving, let them grieve in the way they need to grieve” it such a good way I think about grief. I hope you are okie

[@scheherezade5844]

RIP TFC

[@CraftykittenNZ]

Your amazing X as are all the hermits. Wishing you all the best through this time.

[@gwyngwyn_2416]

RIP TFC, He will be missed ❤️❤️❤️

[@MxRency]

When and if this season is ending, it could be lovely to close off the season with a joined branchmine session. RIP Tfc

[@zpanazura]

Rest in peace TFC, he will be greatly missed. Everyone griefs differently so thank you for letting us grief in your comment section and if any of you guys need to take time off for themselves the comunity will understand ❤️

[@Malgus929]

This news put a real damper on my day... RIP TFC. He will be greatly missed. Prayers for his loved ones and friends. I’m not sure if one exists but it would be nice to see his channel get memorialized by KZbin in some way

[@Beckah11]

Thank you for this X. While TFC meant a lot to the community, he meant more to you guys and it was lovely to share that with you and hear some of the memories. TFC will never be forgotten and his legacy will live on in the content he created, in HermitCraft and through the rest of you amazing Hermits. RIP TCF - gone but not forgotten.

[@TDRPCubing]

It’s nice to hear that I’m not the only person who thinks about my own thoughts. Whenever I react to something sad, rather than just have a mental response, I think about how I am mentally responding. It’s kind of weird in a way.

[@ThornyPickled]

I didn't even once hear of tfc in my journeys watching hermits on the server, been watching since season 3. watching season 9 on several hermits and not so long after it started, hearing about someones passing on the server... put things heavily into perspective. I've never really felt a connection to creators that much, but this passing has made me appreciate you guys a lot more. And has inspired me in some ways.

[@cheezytoxins8652]

Rip TFC

[@thebullhornstreamer4742]

Used to watch him 8 or 10 years ago, I took a very long break from minecraft (Recently just returned about 2 weeks ago) and so I was just now searching for some more down-to-earth MC YT'bers and very sad to see when I did a search for TFC, all I seen today was "Tribute to TFC"... 😭 Very sad, RIP TFC! The old me (Cipherscave) Will be re-binging all your old videos once again friend! RIP.

[@the_yucka]

May he Rest In Peace

[@LDtheGreatandPowerfulYoutubing]

May TFC shine bright in paradise. I'm sorry for your loss to the hermits and the HC community. I can relate to what the hermits are going through. On July 5th, I lost my best friend. I love and miss her so so much. I'm happy the hermits have each other to mourn with, unfortunately I've had to mourn, still mourning, alone. I've talked to people, friends and family about it every now and then, but a consistent some one to mourn with, Ive been alone. And it's been hard. She's talked about me a lot to her family and other people I've never met. Over the past weeks I've had random people message me about how much she's talked about me. At visitation, her family members I've never met before reached out with open arms as if I was part of the family. I love her. And she loves me. Without getting into it, we fell in love at the wrong times I guess. There were choices that I could've made years ago that I know could've changed where she is now, but I didn't make those choices and thats killing me inside. My heart extends out to TFC's family and friends. If anyone's read this far, you are worth it. Everyone is worth it. Don't be afraid to take a shot in the dark, don't be afraid to get out of your comfort zone, don't be afraid to leave when it gets tough. Life is too short. My best friend and I, we're 22, still so young. no matter how many friends you got, as many or as little, YOU are the only YOU we have. If for any reason you can't for yourself, do it for the people that you care about. I'm done rambling.

[@VanityPlate]

I'm glad to know he made an impact on the people who knew him. Thank you for sharing your story.

[@maif5220]

I really appreciate you being so open with your grieving process. I only saw a few of TFC's videos but I always loved seeing the clips that the Hermitcraft Recap would show in their videos. I can tell the TFC was a beloved creator and it is really heartwarming to see the internet be very respectful of his legacy and his friends' and loved ones' space when it comes to their way of grieving. I hope that if you ever feel like anything becomes overwhelming when you are dealing with your emotions, you are comfortable reaching out for help, whether through friends, family, or professional help. Thank you for being vulnerable to your audience Xisuma

[@TheWardenVex]

Imagine Hermitcraft having a Hall of Fame. TFC could be the first Inductee

[@trottinboots]

i said this on another hermit's video, but i recently lost my grandmother, and i am so so sorry that everyone has to feel this kind of grief. it will be ok, i promise. that void our elders left us will never fully be filled, but we will heal too. take with you everything they have taught us, and make sure everyone who comes next knows those lessons too. their memory can and will live on with us. my condolences to everyone hurting, especially our beloved grandpapi's family. my heart goes out to you

[@HannaShmanna]

What a nice calm soothing way to talk about such a difficult loss. Grief is very personal and the pain doesn't ever really go away so I truly am sorry for your loss, the one thing I have found that makes each day a little easier is remembering the good times and what they achieved and stood for in life. Like at the beginning of this season impulse kept covering tfc's entrance to his bigger base (which was just a hole in the ground to be fair) and tfc just patiently kept digging it back up and working away. Impulse finally realised and was so embarrassed but tfc was so calm and found it funny. Mad respect to you all giving us so many hours of free content even though you have your own things going on. Remember that you are all doing a service to the community worldwide, even doctors, therapists and handfuls of pills did not help the masses during time of trauma and isolation but all of you made life and society bareable. To be completely honest I came close to ending my own life many times but I kept finding myself coming back to youtube since my world ended in 2012 and watching calm gamers helped build a trust and faith in humanity all because of people like you X. Thank you for sharing a piece of your heart today

[@user-LunarWolfie]

o7 Rest in peace

[@itsLemontree]

i remember watching this stream live. and the dealing with grief part really changed my views. multiple people may asked the same question and its ok. even now when someone is dealing with a type of grief and wont stop talking about it over months. its ok cause they are processing

[@Jestey6]

Just watched the TFC clip and the edit is so smooth😊

[@StylzB]

TFC is in the huge branch mine in the sky. Rest in peace bud.

[@hyperbhavik]

First technoblade, now tfc! This is really very sad

[@koleparker8906]

This season has been my favorite so far, and I think it might be because everyone is being more candid about the behind the scenes
