Okay, so in honor of all the Hermits stirring things up on Twitter today, let's REALISTICALLY consider Season Ten. What do we know, what are our clues, actually???
(Speculating and overanalyzing are really fun so I'm just going to embrace my tendency to Listify Everything and spill my thoughts on Season Ten under the cut!)
First Evidence: The Words of the Hermits.
Nine Days ago Scar said in his Jellie tribute video that Season Ten was “Just around the corner”. Five days ago on the 18th, right after the Hermit meeting that probably finalized their start of the season plans, Cub posted his cryptic tweet whose incorrect capitalizations spelled out “SEASON TEN SOON”. I can't imagine either of those hermits using that phrasing if the season start was more than a month away.
What's more, Gem posted yesterday the 23 that “If hermitcraft s10 doesn’t start soon I’m gonna explode!!!” I can't imagine Gem being that impatient unless there was only a couple of weeks or maybe just one week left before filming.
Second Point to Consider: Hermit Conscientiousness.
The Hermits sre generally really kind to each other and have known when the Hermitcraft Vault Hunters challenge was going to end (Jan 31st, midnight) for months. Per Iskall, the videos of the Herald Vault will drop February 1rst and I can't imagine they'd want video competition between that content and the new season.
Clue Three: The Streaming Activities of the Hermits.
The sheer amount of time Joe has spent playing Vault Hunters lead me to believe they can't have started filming for Season 10 yet. Seriously, when Joe finally has a day without a bonus Vault Hunters stream I'm gonna get mighty suspicious. Joe has streamed more than three hours of Vault Hunters every single day for a week. There was Wednesday when he did his art stream, but I wouldn't expect that to have been a launch day because:
Fact Four: Editing turn around times are so grindy.
The traffic series always has a several day turn around for editing time (IE film Monday post Friday) and several Hermits still struggle to get them out on those days. Even if the hermits were going to ignore the Vault Hunters conflict and start filming season ten this week, tomorrow even, they'd just barely have enough time to squeeze those videos out before the Herald Vault videos. As I'm editing this post Impulse just said he's trying to finish his office reorg this week and have a tour out next week. That does not sound like 'filming this week and editing the new season opener' behavior.
If it goes as Iskall indicated on stream, the Vault Hunter hermits will film the Herald Vault and post as soon as possible on February 1st, meaning the earliest they could kick off season ten would be Friday the 2nd. Even if they film on then I can't imagine them dropping new season videos/having them edited any earlier than Monday the 5th. Furthermore:
Clue Five: A lot of Hermits are very protective of their weekends.
Pearl for example almost didn't join the Decked Out visitor day because it was a weekend. It may be that Monday the 5th would be the more likely earliest useable day for filming after Vault Hunters ended. With editing turn around, we'd guess the start date to be Friday at least.
In Conclusion:
My totally bullshit overanalyzed but still blind guess is that the Hermits will film season ten starting February 5th and will drop videos sometime between February 7th and 9th.
That being said, Cub's cypher today that may have just been trolling said season ten would be “sooner than we'd think” so they may surprise me yet.
Keep an eye out for days where no hermits stream or days where Joe does a brief “1 hour chill stream” to see when the Hermits might be suspiciously behind the scenes. I won't be mad if I'm wrong, overthinking is fun. Either way I hope you join me in hypong up the new season and the new Hermits joining the Hermit Fam. I can't wait!
(Note: this post originally reported the herald vault videos as dropping the 2nd which was an estimate from a stream, but Iskalls video today reported they'd drop the first and this post has been edited to reflect that ❤️)

"I had a team mate, his name was Impulse, and we were taking on six- no, SEVEN, OTHER HERMITS."
It has to be. It just HAS TO BE!!!
(Context there were nine total people at that event including Skizzleman.)

Whatever new members join hermitcraft season 10 I will be happy. The people the majority of fans seem to be hoping for are all great.
Most of them already belong to at least one successful SMP though... So, is it terrible that I'm kinda hoping for at least one new member being someone I've never heard of? I just think it would be neat if a smaller creator got the opportunity to join an established SMP like hermitcraft. It wouldn't hurt to see hermits with more diverse backgrounds either.
Either way I'm sure I'll be happy.

prediction: the winner of decked out has like, some grandiose ceremony, and at the end of the ceremony they do something that "ends" the world (closes out the season and prepares it for s10)

I think it’d be really funny if the two new hermits are two guys basically none of us guessed btw. like that would also be rad as hell but more importantly it would be really goddamn funny,

cubfan135 fact #21:
Hermitcraft season 6 featured an unknown individual known only as The Jingler, who conducted a series of pranks on several hermits. Those who fell victim to the Jingler's pranks were often referred to as being "#Jingled". Some pranks included (but are not limited to) vandalizing Grian's map room to say "You have been J-J-Jingled!!!", and leaving a mysterious book in Hermitville with coordinates that merely led to a sign reading, "GG You've been had! #Jingled".
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Jingler's identity was never revealed by the time Season 6 had concluded. Fans and hermits alike speculated their true identity for years. Many fans believed them to be Grian, however it was unlikely as Grian already had two prankster alter egos in Season 6, Poultry Man and The Salmon Ghost. GoodTimesWithScar was revealed to be the Jangler, a different entity entirely with no official ties to the Jingler. Rendog was suspected of being the Jingler for asking his viewers to "jingle that [notification] bell" at the end of his videos. Tango was also suspected of being the Jingler, as his returns to the server coincidentally aligned with the Jingler's pranks.
Tumblr media
The most in-depth search for the identity of the jingler on the Hermitcraft server appears to be from Joehills. Upon checking the community mailbox, Joehills discovered a message from the Jingler left in every hermit's mailbox. Deciding that he could not let this devious behavior continue, he set out to follow a trail to reveal their true identity. He initially asks for the help of his viewers to gather intel from other hermit's videos, however this effort would prove fruitless as the Jingler carefully made sure to never reveal themselves on camera. Joe suspects a parrot by the name of Jingles to be behind the pranks, claiming that the parrot works for ConCorp. However, it is possible he was actually thinking of Captain Jack Sparrow, the CEO of ConCorp, and the lead seemed to come to a dead end.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Jingler's identity was still unknown by the end of season 6, leaving both fans and hermits to speculate on their identity for years. Many began to believe there was no one true Jingler, but the hermits as a collective conducted a multitude of pranks under one common alias.
The Jingler's identity was finally revealed on April 23, 2022 on the Hermitcraft 10-year anniversary livestream. Cub admitted to being the Jingler, notably only after being asked directly by Jevin. Grian in particular was so distraught by the revelation that he joined the discord call from his mobile phone to comment on the situation.
youtube
Hermitcraft season 6 began in July of 2018, meaning that the identity of the Jingler was kept a secret for roughly 4 years. It is possible that this is the longest-kept secret in all of Hermitcraft history. The only known "evidence" of Cub being the Jingler is when he is seen during Impulse's Season 6 episode 32 asking if Grian has completed the infinity room. It is likely Cub was inquiring either to see if he could vandalize the map without Grian noticing, or to see Grian's reaction if the prank had already been carried out. Besides this small piece of circumstantial evidence, there was virtually no proof of Cub being the Jingler prior to April 2022. The most concerning detail in this story is, perhaps, the fact that the identity of the Jingler was only revealed when Cub was directly confronted by Jevin on stream. It is unknown if Cub ever planned to reveal the Jingler's identity on his own, and he very well may have intended to take this secret to the grave.

see the fandom has this thing where the hermits are different species and when they’re part animal/mob they’re a hybrid but nobody talks about the even funnier canon lore that they’re all the exact same species. Their species is hermit.
[long post - lots of worldbuilding and speculative biology below]
Jevin looks like a slime, Doc looks like that, most of them look human, but in actuality they’re all just hermits. The only information we have about this is that hermits are shorter than the average player, some references to hobbits, some references to hermits being hardworking, the fact that gem isn’t a hermit and had to wear antlers to pretend to be one, and that’s it.
I love biology and worldbuilding and this is fascinating to me. When you take into account previous seasons and events and throw-away lines this gets even more insane. Grian and Hypno are acknowledged to not have mouths (and even more hermits don’t have them on their skin). Mumbo turned into a potato. Cleo had snake hair at one point. There are a million other weird things I’m forgetting. You could handwave some of this with an explanation like “hermits are shapeshifters” or “hermits are gods” and that is a very valid and fun take but I think it is SO much funnier if these are just normal things that happen in the hermit species, which aren’t fantastical at all and are adaptations with elaborate mechanics and explanations.
Perhaps hermits, similar to bugs, regularly shed their skin (or a process similar to it) and change their appearance. Some insects change colours/appearance due to their environment rather than genetics, ie macleays spectre stick insects can turn lichen colours when raised around lichen. Maybe the hermits shed their skins on a regular basis, including during their adult life, and this allows them to better match their environment- causing physical changes related to what they have been exposed to. This causes potato Mumbo and medusa Cleo and DM Tango and any other example of a specific skin change. For more constant differences in appearance - maybe life cycles could be considered?
Tumblr media
this may be the weirdest thing I’ve ever made. For those that don’t know, “n” is the number of chromosomes, where n is the haploid number, so 2n is diploid. Diploid cells are necessary for sexual reproduction. Of course, a lot of these life cycles are centered around reproduction, as is the nature of a life cycle, but in reality the hermits are in no rush and are happy to stay at whatever point of the life cycle they’re at, this is just an outline of the species’ mechanics.
I mean, most of this diagram is conjecture… but I think it is interesting to consider! Jevin especially reminded me a lot of slime mould life cycles so this is heavily inspired off that, but also inspired by bug life cycles as well.
If you want to get even more indepth we can consider the gender roles of hermit society (remember that clip where Grian implied builders were housewives and redstoners were breadwinning husbands?). Perhaps we can get meta and consider respawn an aspect of being a hermit as well - are they able to regenerate after death? What is Cleo’s place in all this, being undead? Is arm thickness, where your arm can either be 3px or 4px wide, an example of sexual dimorphism?
but. well. tldr: the hermits being one species is a very fun idea we should be doing more with, i think

impulse and skizz being like ''yeah people were really sure it was skizz, so weird, no idea how they guessed that'' when at the end of season 9 in his final stream impulse said ''oh new hermits, maybe you know we'll see'' when no other hermit i saw mentioned that possibility at that time at all and he looked at the camera with such a smile like buddy. we know skzz is your best friend. y'all are talking about gem not having a pokerface? where's your's? we could tell you were really happy about something and it was not hard to guess what or who that something was
and then of course all the other clues like all the many interactions with other hermits really solidified it but that one moment at the end of season 9 already had me veeery suspicious

Lately I've been seeing a lot of people doing new hermit speculations dismissing Skizz as an option for HC10, pointing to his statements about just not having a lot of time lately on the Imp and Skizz podcast. AND TO THAT CLAIM I SAY
Tumblr media
Because Skizz is TOTALLY still an option for one of the two new hermits for Hermitcraft season 10!
Now I don't expect everyone to be as normal (read: insane) about Skizzleman as I am, HOWEVER! There are two clear contradictions in known facts that disprove this claim and I have the obscure-ish knowledge to prove it!
Proof number 1!: The Imp and Skizz podcast is recorded in sessions, not individually. This is done for efficiency considering both Impulse and Skizz do not have the time to meet up and record individual singular podcasts anymore. Instead, they record 2-3 podcasts in a row so that they have the next weeks covered. BUT! This means that there is a good 2-3 weeks of delay between a podcasts recording and its posting at a minimum! Which in turn means that both men have ample time to change situations or opinions, and any opinion shared on the podcast is not 1-1 relevant to the here and now! This means that yes, while Skizz says he has no time, this is based on what could be outdated data! ...now this isn't my strongest argument, but really, it's just setdressing for my main argument. WHICH IS PROOF NUMBER 2!: Skizz is going on a sabbatical from his work in the super near future to focus on content creation. Yes, you read that right! In a recent phasmo stream, Skizz made this very important claim that by itself puts him back on the radar for potential new hermits. Now I don't know how long Skizz's sabbatical would be, but traditionally they can last from 3 months up to a year. Even on the low estimate, that's 3 entire months. 3 months focused on content creation without the distraction of his irl work. Time he could use to, oh I don't know, establish himself as a new hermit perhaps? SO IN CONCLUSION. SKIZZLEMAN FOR HERMITCRAFT SEASON 10 IS STILL REAL GUYS. AND GOD DAMN DO I PRAY THAT HIS MAGIFICANT ASS GETS ON THAT SERVER. GO LOVE BOY GO

OKAY SO what with the TWO new Hermits implied by the updated banner I will say that, though the Skizz truthers have me convinced, I now have room to do my own crazy red string monologue and throw my hat in for my choice
Tumblr media
1) Mythical J. Sausage (the J is silent) is a multitalented S-tier builder that absolutely deserves to be shoulder to shoulder with the Hermits. The man does buildings, interiors, terraforming, custom trees, and he does them SO WELL.
2) The production values!!! Beautiful replay mod sequences with shifting camera perspectives, shaders, music that sets the tone for each segment that's different from series to series. He already has more than a million followers on YouTube and for good reason!!
3) He has been SO consistent lately. He started a hardcore world about three months ago (about the time you might expect the Hermits to finalize their s10 choices maybe...???) and already has 15 episodes and hasn't gotten involved in any other big content. (He did just start playing a little of the BCG server but from what I understand that's super casual /copium copium copium).
4) That hardcore world is conveniently about to reach a good "pause" point. He started his world on a cherry blossom biome island that he's filled with a medieval village and starter farms, he's said it's almost full and what's left is the castle. I'm guessing the new season will start the first week of February, so if Sausage puts out a video this week building out that Castle and finishing that island it will be MIGHTY CONVENIENT TIMING.
5) This man can GRIND. His Hardcore world hasn't even been going half a year and he's built... So much??? Magnificent! And when he was on the Hermitcraft server he did the Razorcrest for scar AND the player head baby yoda/stormtrooper merch AND the noteblock themesong AND still built in the xmas village and other "diamond of peace" and so many other shenanigans. Did the man even sleep? He can grind with the best of them.
6) He can do redstone, too! Maybe not unique designs, I honestly don't know, but he builds farms for build materials no problem.
7) The DRAMA this man loves his improv and his backstory and trauma lore! For every series he does! Can you imagine if he gets to interact with Ren for an extended period of time, what that would do to them, to us?? Give Martyn a run for his money!!
8) Which brings me to my next point, which is that Sausage is already One of The Gang, because he's been in series with so many of the Hermits already! Empires and the crossover, obviously, but also Pirates with Cleo and Origins with Scar, and he's even done MCC! Joel is the only other player with the same depth of different series but there are other people truthing him already.
9) The EPIC BROMANCE with Pearl. My god the devotion of this man to his sunflower goddess bestie. I would try to do ot justice but y'all have seen floweroflaurelins work, you already know.
10) He's already a PG streamer but with HILARIOUSLY PG-13 tendencies. Imagine him and Cleo cracking each other up at an HHH stream, *grips your shoulders* IMAGINE IT.
11) Sausage comes with his own mascot in the form of interdimensional dog extraordinaire Bubbles, but he's also just an animal lover on general. Mans drinks his "I love Jellie" juice and had her in his world even before the sad news of her loss.
12) Diversity win! No one should be hired just for their gender, race, sexuality etc etc unless it's truly necessary to the job, but we were all happy when more women got added to the server in s8 and I know a lot of people would be happy to see some ethnic diversity added, too.
... That bulletin board had a lot more pins in it than I thought it did but anyway MYTHICALSAUSAGE TRUTHERS/ALL OTHER TRUTHERS RISE UP SPEAK YOUR TRUTH! we'll only get to wildly speculate for a few weeks so we might as well make it everyone else's problem ENJOY IT TO THE FULLEST!!

Just a clip from my exploration of the world download.
I'd forgotten. I don't remember if we saw this room exactly as it is here in a video, but it reminded me of something she'd said. Empires False, claiming that Hermit False was the bad one. That the one who had unnatural violent instincts was actually the victim, the one who locked her away entirely to blame...
And I don't know, it still feels ambiguous. From the Hermitcraft series perspective, the Other One lashed out for no reason, and would naturally be someone who would either be crazy and believe her own innocence, or lie even to her own amnesiac future self to cause more chaos... But then, Hermit False hinted at trying to influence the other's memories, with that book of only the good parts... and what other experiments did she have, down in that now broken basement?
I was just thinking the other day that maybe there could be an in-story explanation for why False hasn't mentioned her lost twin, who she was apparently best friends with for her entire life up until that point, since the end of the crossover. I thought maybe she could have had an accident with one of the amnesia potions, forgotten her sister, started to believe her own lies about having always been only one person...
But what if... what if it really was her fault? What if the murderous False really had been innocent, before the experiments? What if she wasn't really a twin... and which one of them was really the clone? Both of them were villains to each other...
Have we seen a villain version of a hermit take over their life successfully, hidden in plain sight?
And with the confusion of all the amnesia potions they both had access to... will either of them ever realise it?
When the "evil" False on Empires claimed to have all her memories back... how would she know for sure? Was it really the Rift affecting her, since she suddenly went for redemption once it was gone? Or was that just an effect of her having read the book the HC one left her and forgotten but still been affected by the more positive memories??
Aaaaa I love this story so much there are so many possibilities!! I'm probably never going to be able to let it go...
I think just so I can enjoy False's next HC season without being constantly distracted, I'll try to mostly believe that she was the "good" one (relatively speaking) and that she was being honest as far as she knew and that she had an accident with an amnesia potion which is why the lost twin never gets brought up again (or that, even if she was the actually bad one, an amnesia potion accident got her believing her own lies so she's good now, nice irony if that's the case) oh, but if she ever does bring the Empires character back, I'll be ready!!

So, the latest thing with Grian. Dude did a whole video where he said the phrase(and titled the video) Manifest Destiny. He then, immediately after being informed, changed the title and has apologized, saying basically "I'm British and that meaning never crossed my mind."
Which, fair, that's how things should be handled, and I do think it was an honest mistake.
So why did he do a damn Harry Potter build in that same video?! He surely knows at this point, people comment it on his vids whenever it happens.
I see two options. Primarily, he's British. Which could mean "Harry Potter was very important to him growing up" or "He's heavily transphobic". And I don't have much evidence for either option, which is one of the reasons not to do HP-related stuff. It sends a signal to people, whether you want to or not.
IDK, I just needed to vent about this and I'm not happy with my options going forward.

I'd like to pose a question that may trigger some anxiety for those writers who post their fanfics... I just really wanna see the general opinion on this.
Which ccs do we think read fanfic? Are there any that have outwardly said they do?
My biggest vote is on Martyn. There's a clip of Xisuma talking about his character's typical portrayal in fanfic which makes me think it's fairly commonplace. Maybe most hermits have at least once or twice checked it out. But who would be more of a regular? I'm posing this to be about hermitcraft, traffic life, and also Empires.
If there's enough responses I might do a poll!

Coming to you as both a big fan of your hunger au and a chemist.
You keep describing Grian’s feeding as an absorption of beta waves of a specific frequency from the brain. You’ve also teased that Doc eventually finds a way to feed Grian without him having to mind melt his friends.
My logical conclusion: Doc periodically sticks Grian in what is essentially a microwave modified to produce the correct frequency and I cannot stop laughing at the mental image. I like to think someone (maybe Mumbo) adds a timer that does the classic ding after a certain period so they don’t over caffeinate the bird.
this is the most terrifying ask in my inbox do you mean to tell me there are STEM people who actually know what theyre doing looking at my silly au that i do maybe 2 hrs of research on any one topic for before plonking it in. i feel like im about to be arrested for speculative biology crimes take me away officer
slash jays aside this is the FUNNIEST mental image to me... they fucking rotisserie chickened him..... Rotate Your Bird For Maximum Frequency Coverage. Mumbo would absolutely add a sound effect button. This is incredible i might genuinely put a reference to this idea in the fic just for how hysterical it is

I think a very important thing about Etho and Mumbo's dynamics, especially in shipping, is just how much Mumbo idolizes Etho. Like- he still gets flustered about him. they have been on the same server for seven years, and he still gets very awkward around him, and bashful almost? Like, in Secret Life, I haven't seen the episode since it came out but when he got the task to be Etho's maid, he was like- apprehensive. Don't quote me on this but I even think he says like, "Oh no", and seems to act even more anxious than usual.
(My best guess for this is because like, Etho is- A, an og minecrafter, he's Etho, but also because of the things he's done for redstone - especially early on?)
Meanwhile, Etho is- well, Etho. A little cagey? Again, going off of my memory in Secret life, he almost has the vibe of like- treating Mumbo like a bug. Not in a derogatory way, but in a fascinating if not "why are you here" way
i think the secret to a good ship dynamic of them is just like. the most painful awkwardness ever. followed by etho slowly warming up to Mumbo's presence like a stray cat, while Mumbo becomes more comfortable with him.
