Hi Quara!

10: A song that makes you sad

Okay so. This is hard for me because I don't tend to listen to music that makes me sad??? I listen to songs that are absolute bangers and also happen to be about sad topics. That being said, there is one major exception:

This song is about death/grief, though it reminds me of my relationship with my brother (who is alive, but a politically radicalized dipshit). I've mentioned my own music in progress before? Yeah that's what it's about.

Ahahaha okay this is a little too real next question--

11: A song that you never get tired of

Easy! I've listened to this song a normal amount of times, and it's totally not because I have an entire 3rd Life animatic in my brain for it! I don't know all the words I promise :]

[sorry I'm not answering 18 bc I'm not comfortable stating what year I was born in plain terms. I'm sure it's possible to figure it out based on my posts but I'm not making it that easy. Feel free to send another number in and I'll answer that one instead :D]

martyn, i know you're listening. i know you go through your tag on here. if you see this then please know it would make me extremely happy if jimmy was looped into this watcher-listener lore more. also thank you for the lore in general <3

sincerely, alyssa quaranmine

I'm really glad to have found the Hermitcraft fandom here on Tumblr, I've been a long time fan and it's awesome to discover all this great fanart and content and stuff. Any must-follow MCYT/Hermitcraft/Minecraft blogs?

oh gosh, welcome! in general i am BAD about remembering who i follow and who i don't; a great way to find who you want to follow might be to just go through the #hermitcraft tag and follow people you find funny, or, heck, if i reblog a lot of art from a certain artist you like (or not a lot, like one art even), go follow them!

while we're here, a few additional general etiquette rules (keeping in mind that like, this is tumblr, trying to claim ANYTHING is a whole-community norm is basically impossible i am claiming a norm from my specific circle of guys): do not crosstag, only tag things that are actually in your post. don't use the 'minecraft' tag, that tag is for people who like the actual game. (i mean, you can use it if you are posting about minecraft, but not if you're posting about the youtubers). it's generally considered rude to put your crit in the main tags, especially without tagging 'discourse' somewhere so it can be filtered. shipping should generally have a 'hermitshipping' tag on it for filtering purposes as well, but if something is tagged hermitshipping and you're mad about it just like, block them, they did the important part.

the hermits i know of on tumblr (could be more, idk): @/joehills @/pearlescentmoo @/falsesymmetry @/therealdocm77 (not actually active but has the account) @/geminitayyt. cleo also had an account but it is no longer active. also @/inthelittlewood is here and like very active, as is @/askzloyxp and @/quinnhills. as a general etiquette rule, just... act like they're perfectly ordinary tumblr users and continue your business as usual! and don't send them weird asks or anything.

off the top of my head, a few blogs i like, an EXTREMELY non-exhaustive list, find your own guys out there as well you won't regret it! like, you will find the experience you like best just going out there and looking for it yourself! i've absolutely missed a bunch of guys i love, let alone guys you would love! this is like 10 million percent non-exhaustive, i follow 1,570 blogs apparently, many of which aren't hermitcraft or mcyt related, but many of which are, so i just sorta. went for it. and when i was having trouble remembering if a name was a repeat that's when i stopped. so. non-exhaustive list:

@nightshadeowl, @jestroer, @astronomodome, @kingtheghast, @floweroflaurelin, @roenais, @silverskye13, @wasyago, @rusty-courage, @art-by-fate, @silverskye13, @redstonedust, @betweenlands, @sixteenth-days, @judas-iscaryot, @terracottakore, @cherrifire, @antimony-medusa, @hybbart, @made-nondescript, @luigra, @cuteiemonster, @mawofthemagnetar, @potionofinstantdamage, @concorp, @spiderziege, @salemoleander, @bc-jpeg, @magicalmanhattanproject, @simplydm, @12u3ie, @mishapen-dear, @lunarblazes, @girltimeswithscar, @kishdoodles, @quaranmine, @shadeswift99, @bdoubleowo, @quicksandblock, @beacon-lamp, @kikunai, @sideblague, @applestruda, @ingapotejtoo, @belmarzi, @strifetxt

anyway FEEL FREE TO PROMO GUYS OR YOURSELF ON THIS POST TOO! from what i understand we may be getting some new guys sometime soon here from the twitter lands? so it may be helpful to have that for anyone who's looking for new guys to follow!

and most of all: WELCOME!!!

#answered #i DEFINITELY MISSED ABOUT A MILLION BELOVED MUTUALS AND IM SO SORRY #I JUST. I STARTED TO RUN OUT OF ABILITY TO TELL IF ID ALREADY LISTED ONE OF YOUR BLOGS #PRETTY SURE I ACCIDENTALLY DOUBLED SOMEONE ALREADY. #also i am so sorry none of these links work. see when i tried to publish this ask originally tumblr decided that it couldn't actually #so i had to copy-paste it and try again. #anyway WELCOME I HOPE YOU FIND YOUR PEOPLE! :D #also if you don't wanna be on this post let me know and i'll remove you and also i'm sorry

[crazypercheron]

So, I just finished reading "The Incandescent of A Dying Light" and oh my God, I'm absolutely shattered by it. But it was so beautifully written that I still had brain rot for 3 days after it. (Plus it introduced me to a game- "Firewatch"- that I've never heard before but I'm definitely looking into playing it this weekend) Just, oh man, I feel like I was back up in the mountains in the national forest when I was a kid, but with the pain and grief I'm suffering currently as an adult. Look, I'm rambling but oh my God, you need to give it a read if you haven't, it will absolutely leave you in shambles.

So I felt compelled to draw some art of Scar carrying out his day-to-day life in the lookout tower with Jellie because man, the bro needs a tight hug.

@quaranmine , Thank you so much for this work of art, and I wish you the best in all off your endeavours 🙏

A completed rough animatic

“Where is Mumbo?” That’s what Grian has been asking for a year now throughout the bitter winter of 1988 and 89, after his best friend’s disappearance in Shoshone National Forest. Now equipped with a job as a fire lookout, and with the added ulterior motive of searching for his friend, Grian will begin a journey of highs and lows; of healing and heartbreak. And so much more.

I don’t currently plan to post this rough animatic on YouTube, and I’m not really sure yet if I’ll make it a finished piece, but figured I got this far, so I should show it to someone.

I guess there’s not any flat-out spoilers (besides events) with this animatic, but it definitely makes more sense when you have all the context, as it bounces back and forward in time, so go read @quaranmine’s fic “The Incandescence of a Dying Light”!! It will make you feel all the feels. I promise.

in the middle, alone

based on this post by @quaranmine

(825 words)

Grian can never really deny Jimmy and Joel. He goes along with the big things— teaming up or handing over his time or fighting with Pearl and BigB over that fucking frog—and the little things—their matching jackets or their sunglasses or their fucking name—and minimally complains about it the whole time. Their bed situation was a medium thing; it wasn't going to kill him, but gods did it make his days that much worse.

Joel somehow both overheats and has the coldest toes known to man. Jimmy sleeps curled into himself but stretches his wings out, sticking feathers into Grian's mouth. They both kick. They left him the middle. He hates them for it.

At the end of the day, he makes a show of leaving with Pearl and BigB, back to their towers and frogs. Being alone makes you easy to pick off by any of the other roving groups of Reds. BigB throws an arm over his shoulders and Pearl bumps shoulders with him, both comforting him, both making him stumble.

It's only as they pick their way across the lawn, avoiding pressure plates because no one can quite remember where the TNT is, that Grian realizes he might actually be spending the night there. That's not the worst thing in the world. He'd probably get his own bed, away from other people. But something about the thought of sleeping on his own, not on the destroyed roof of the woodland mansion, makes something settle in the pit of his stomach. Makes things feel a little too final.

"We'll take care of you, Grian!" Pearl tells him, with that bright, sharp smile she only wears in the games. BigB rummages through their chests but in the end only turns up with a single piece of wool.

"Sorry, man," he tells Grian and he sounds like he means it.

"Don't worry about it," Grian tells them. "I'll just sneak back through the forest to the mansion and meet you guys in the morning." For a moment the other two hesitate, glancing at each other, and Grian watches them do the same math he just did: no one's in the forest, the TIES and Clockers have both gone home, he definitely has good gear at his base that he could bring them.

"Stay safe." BigB tells him and he sounds like he means it.

"Don't let the bed bugs bite!" Pearl sings after him, already heading up the ladder.

Grian makes it back to the mansion, perfectly fine except for being damp all over again—why did Joel flood their whole base? He's tired, wrung out from the chaos of the day, and crawls into bed, armor still on. He pulls his sheets up to his chin.

It's too cold. Joel runs so hot and curls in so close that most nights Grian woke up well before he wanted to, drenched in sweat. Grian rips the blankets off the other beds and pulls them over himself. There's no one here to yell at him for it anyway. It's not the warm bulk of two friends, of a set of wings layered over his own.

It's too quiet. Jimmy loves to talk when they go to bed, rambling on about the day or some joke Martyn made or that fucking frog. Joel snores and snuffles into his pillow and is generally just as noisy asleep as he is awake. Now, all Grian can hear is the wind rustling through the wheat.

It's fine. Grian likes sleeping by himself. He hates being in the middle of their ridiculous dog pile—the "Bad Boys Bed Bundle" as Joel had called it, which didn't even make sense. Just this morning, he woke up spitting mad because Jimmy's feathers had found their way into his mouth, again. He's not upset to be sleeping alone for the first time since the games had started. It is not too cold or too quiet or something truly ridiculous like too lonely.

It is perfectly normal for him to be in bed, alone. Two nights ago he threatened to move up to his bread house, he was so annoyed, and Joel had yanked him back down with hands around his chest while Jimmy clung to his middle and apologized and begged in the same breath. He stayed on the rooftop, because he can never really deny them anything, and stared up at the mess of bridges that cut across the sky, Joel and Jimmy still clinging to him.

No one is clinging to him now. No one is on either side of him now. In the morning, he will go meet Pearl and BigB and neither of them will lean on him the way Joel and Jimmy did so easily. He's in the middle of nothing now. He's in the middle, alone. The thought settles in his stomach like a lead weight.

They're dead. They left him in the middle, alone. He hates them for it.

hiii I just found out you exist yesterday and im already a huge fan of your work :D

your writing is really detailed and awesome and so so immersive!!

I'm also a HUGE grumbo shipper!! your Grumbo Month day two made me cry it was that good

the only other fic that made me cry was Wilted Petals by xxshadowcasterxx (you should DEF give it a read :P) (#NotSponsored)

but youre really great and you should keep it up :) :) :)

Awww, thank you so much! I didn't really start writing Grumbo until two days ago, so it's not like you've missed much, lol.

I really enjoy the process, and I've honestly never had as much inspiration to write as I did once I bit the bullet and finally started writing for Grian and Mumbo. I have not been able to stop myself, XD

I'll definitely read that fic as well! It's always good to check out other artists (Love giving and sharing inspiration with others in the community, it's my favorite thing ever).

I've come across an author who made me cry as well over on Ao3. It's not a shipping fic, but it's definetely worth the read. @quaranmine did a fantastic job of getting me fully invested in the story (genuinely, I planned on reading like two chapters and then proceeded to read the whole thing) 10/10 would recommend The Incandescence of a Dying Light if you haven't already read it. I think there's art coming to it too now, so that'll be cool to check out!

Thanks again for the compliments, and I hope you enjoy the newer writing that'll be coming for Grumbo Month! 💛💛💛

So um...

Etho batted Gem’s hands away.  “Cut it out.  I’m not scared, okay?  I just don’t believe in the supernatural is all.” “Neither do I,” Beef said.  “It’s all in good fun, eh?” Etho sighed.  “Fine.” Gem smiled and folded her hands in her lap.  “Good. Don’t worry, Beef.  I’ll try to make it a little scary.  So.” She lowered her voice in tone and octave and leaned in closer to the fire.  “The year was 1988..."

Can I ask for a 🍉 in the ask game?

you may indeed!

*exhales* okay. this one's gonna be terrifying to elaborate on but here we go anyways.

there is no art without the artist and there is no artist without the art. they are, in a lot of cases but not all of them, one and the same. every detail you write into these little stories is probably revealing a small patch of your soul without your even realizing it.

this goes double for some of our longer works, for example- take twice., a story that was written during one of the worst times of our life. there was a situation with a guy, you know how it goes, and we literally threw ourself into working on it as an escape. that one's got a lot of themes of healing and how one mistake can cause horrible outcomes. actually now that i think about it a lot of our works deal with hope and healing. i guess it's a mirror

(btw whoever said that your teens are your golden years can die of a thousand tiny papercuts. i am NOT thriving and it is NOT my fault)

ashes is... a long and complex thing. it's faceted. it's messy. to be completely honest we absolutely hate some of the chapters we've posted. but it's been an exercise of honesty- both with ourself, and with our readers.

the characters in it, they fucked up SO bad. most of them are dealing with some serious shit. but there's still hope for them. (i'm not gonna lie, i finished chapter 7 and read back through it like "huh. if anyone ever thinks for half a second about us the author writing that in such staggering detail, we're toast")

there's a lot of projection. like a lot. i aint gonna say where but it's there. it's such a personal thing to be doing this for free and of your own will, both for your own good and others.

life is fuckin tough, and as writing is a reflection of life, the things expressed there will also be fuckin tough. i keep on, though because 1. if i ever stopped writing i would literally explode and 2. i've already promised myself to NEVER abandon a work. (breaks are allowed, though.) i have a commitment here both to the story ive started and to the readers

#ray's tag #answered #this is incomprehensibke because of out of the things we're good at explaining #one of those things is NOT the big picture #everything is connected everything is intertwined and we have zero ffucking idea what our own wtiting process is #i have to be extremely vague and dance around the point in order to draw peoples attention to it #there's no other way to do it. and every time i look at the moral directly it dissapears. its always there in the corner of my eye #that's what stories are to me. the vague painting out of the corner of the artists eye. #anne carson said it best in nox: you turn back to the page you were trying to translate and the lights remain in your mind #the great big barking web of them #that's what drives me insane about writing and why i can never stop. it's a paradox; a study in desperation #someone told me once that they knew i really liked honeysuckle tea because that was the tea i mentioned the most in our fics #it took me out. i didnt expect it at all. #and with all that said. idk. take this as you will. tumblr user quaranmine also explained this really well
