This was a very old drawing btw so excuse the quality

tumblr is full of phrases that we are all so desensitized to that they're just normal, but if you say it to a person in real life its so funny to them its a one-hit insta kill

WELCOME TO HERMIT-A-DAY MAY 2025!

Another year, another Hermit-a-Day May! I'm so thrilled to be able to bring this event to you all for the third year in a row.

THE RULES: 1. Any type of fanwork is welcome so long as it features, or is otherwise inspired by, the Hermit of the day. 2. Tag #hermitaday to have your fanwork reblogged, or submit it directly to the blog (Please note that while we recognize the value of fanworks involving more mature themes, and they can certainly count toward challenge completion if you're keeping track for yourself, content on this blog will be kept "PG-13" so that all may enjoy.). 3. Fanworks for one Hermit posted after the day rolls over to another Hermit's day (per the US Central time zone) will be reblogged in one big queue in June. 4. Traced or stolen work is NOT welcome. If we discover you have posted traced or stolen work, you will be given one chance to delete it and apologize, or you will be blacklisted from the blog. AI-generated/assisted pieces are similarly unwelcome and will not be featured on the blog. 5. We are not interested in seeing captions or tags in which you disparage your art/skills, and will not be reblogging posts where this happens. We're all improving all the time. Be kind to yourselves. 6. Technically not a rule, but we strongly recommend adding alt text or description to all images. Click here to learn more about writing alt text - it's pretty easy!

WHY SHOULD I PARTICIPATE? To show love to every Hermit, from the most to least subscribed, from those who have been on the server from day one to those who only joined this season! And because challenges are fun! And because we are once again out here for a good cause: we're running another fundraiser for Gamers Outreach, featuring art incentives by nine amazing artists. Learn more about our incentives in these posts:

BONUS DAY PROMPTS EXPLAINED UNDER THE CUT

FAVORITE "ALT" HERMIT - May 4th HoTGuY and Poultry-Man. Helsknight and Evil Xisuma. Renbob and - look, you get the idea. This server is full of theater kids ready to toss on an alternate skin and play into a brand new character at the drop of a hat. Who's your favorite?

OUTFIT SWAP - May 9th What would Doc look like in Cleo's Life Series leotard? How would Cub fare in Wels's armor? What laundry day mishap could lead Mumbo's suit to lose its sleeves like Skizz's? Only hilarity can come from this...

GROUPS AND COLLABS - May 14th This month is all about one Hermit a day... but what we really love is when they interact with each other. What does your favorite duo or group of Hermits get up to together?

FAVORITE BUILD - May 18th The Hermits have put thousands of hours into their builds, from cozy starter bases to the sprawling halls of Deepfrost Citadel, from idyllic natural landscapes to machines the size of mountains. Which builds have inspired you?

TFC - May 23rd While he may no longer be with us physically, TFC left behind him a legacy of quiet care and good humor, and Hermitcraft would not have been the same without him.

FRIENDS OF HERMITCRAFT - May 28th There are plenty of shows, podcasts, competitions, other servers, and more woven into the internet ecosystem around Hermitcraft, and plenty more people involved in them. Today is for celebrating all of those who, while they may not be Hermits themselves, exist and entertain in proximity to them.

PROJECT LUMEN ANNOUNCES….

APPLICATION ROUND 2’S OPENING! 

As you have all been waiting for, today (as of this post), is the 30th of april! We have our application round open from now until the 20th of May, so make sure you apply before then! We wish you all the best luck on your applications!

We are delighted to present to you:

The background and UI artist application form:

Google Docs

Project LUMEN Background & UI Artist Application Form!

Welcome to the artist application form 2: electric boogaloo! This form is for Background and UI Artists. Please keep in mind while answering

(More info about the role of Background Artists is here, and info about the role of UI Artists is here)

The Writer application form:

Google Docs

Project LUMEN Writer's Application Form!

Hi! My name is Teri, I am the Writing Team’s Boss and today we present to you the Writer’s Application Form! Project LUMEN is a Video Game

(more information about the Writer role is here)

Common questions (and their answers):

How many applicants will you be taking? 

Background artist - 6-8, but flexible in that it depends on how many applications we have.

Script writers - 6-8, also flexible like background artists.

UI artists - 1-2. 

Will there also be applications for character artists/programmers/voice actors/item-prop artist? 

Nope! 

Character artists - As of now, we have character artists for each of the Lifers. However, if one of the artists drops out, we will most likely re-open a smaller application for them. But it seems unlikely.

Programmers - We already have programming covered at this point in the project.

Voice actors - We will also not be taking any Voice Actors, as that would be way too much trouble for multiple reasons. 

Item/prop artists - We are still early in development, and so we are not exactly sure what objects/items we would include. While the answer to needing item artists is most definitely a rotund yes, it might be a little while before opening applications for them, so, you might want to stick around for when that time comes.

What is required in the Background Artist portfolio? 

We require 3-5 pieces of art, but are pretty flexible if you have more you think we need to see. The pieces themselves preferably contain works that show your skills in composition, detail, and colour. Not all of the pieces need to be backgrounds, some may be character art or something else, but they still all need to show your skill to the best of your ability. You also do not only have to have mcyt art in your portfolio.

What needs to be in the writer’s portfolio?

For Writers, while we do need to see a few of your pieces as well as a link to your ao3, we mostly need your willingness to collaborate with other Writers! What we will be looking for in your works isn’t skill in prose, but characterisation and dialogue. Maybe a tiny bit of scene handling.

Can we have examples of the style UI is going to be in, and what we need for the portfolio?

You can see examples of the pixel art style here.

We'd like to see UI artists are capable of doing pixel art, knowing the principles, and having a good grasp on the style (aka: keeping shapes readable and knowing how to shade). When submitting examples, we'd like to see pieces you are proud of and you believe capture your pixel expertise best, whether they be full illustrations or smaller sprites, anything goes! Also be sure to include pixel animation examples!

You also do NOT need coding experience, you will not be doing that side of UI.

If you have any queries in the application process that we have not already answered send us an ask! There are more already answered questions that you can check under #projectlumenasks !

The worst thing about drawing with a phone (yes my drawings are done on a phone and ibis paint) is the fact that you have to zoom in to stuff so your inner perfectionist can vividly see the 'mistakes' and you have to try your darnest to ignore them lmao

Update on the lock screen eheyy

Ionno what I'm doin bru

Bingo Card

B-L: Jimmy is the only Lifer to never do worse than their previous season

B-I: The only person to eliminate the previous season's last place is Grian, and the both times he did it, the person got last for the first time in the season before.

B-F: The team size of people who were alone in the previous season has been steadily increasing, with Joel, Pearl, and Martyn all being on teams of 2 after being alone, and Scar and Lizzie teaming with each other and Jimmy after being alone, making a team of 3. If this comes true, the pattern will either be 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, or 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4

B-E: This post explains it, but basically Ren is somewhat likely to team with Bdubs, Etho, Gem, Scott, Impulse, Jimmy, or Lizzie, and Gem and Jimmy are the only ones who are also likely to team with Ren

B-7: Before Wild Life, Pearl always teamed with people who just had there worst season and placed in the double-digits, which is Mumbo, Skizz, Martyn, BigB, and Scar, and Skizz is the only non-winner Pearl has not teamed with

I-L: I made a prediction for the placements next season, putting Mumbo last and Impulse eliminated third. BigB was between them, but Impulse and Mumbo's data is less varied than BigB's, so they are more likely to place low

I-I: Mumbo's teams sizes have decreased by one each season

I-F: In every season since Double Life, BigB has had a face on his or his team's base, including using his own head as a base

I-E: I really only put this because it was technically correct last season, but BigB has been the last member on his team 2 out of 4 times, putting him above 11 other people, tied with Gem, Pearl, and Joel, and below Martyn, Ren, and Grian

I-7: If the first red and first yellow are two different people, the first red always survives longer

N-L: Grian almost always witnesses at least one of Jimmy's deaths each season

N-I: For each season, 9th place was: Cleo, Scar, Scar, Scar, Etho, and Gem. Cleo and Etho are Scar's parents in Limited Life, when they are the Clockers, and Gem subs for Cleo for an episode, so she is technically a Clocker

N-F: Jimmy teamed with Grian, Martyn, and Scar in the seasons after they won, and has teamed with Scott and Joel before they won, and has teamed with a winner in every season other than Double Life

N-E: Impulse has been eliminated by the eventual winner in every season since Last Life, until being eliminated by Etho in Wild Life. However, Joel did cause Impulse's final death as a zombie in Wild Life

N-7: Martyn, Pearl, and Grian all placed 2nd or 3rd while on Mumbo's team

G-L: In every season, the previous season's fifth and eighth places are eliminated by the winner or the environment. Pearl and Etho placed 5th and 8th in WL, but I predicted Etho to win, so I think Pearl is more likely to be eliminated at all

G-I: Every odd-numbered season has had three lives

G-F: Cleo typically teams with people who placed high in the previous season, only teaming with someone who placed below 7th once (Scar). According to the second chart in the link in B-E, Cleo likely wants to team with Pearl, Tango, or Bdubs (5th-7th). Cleo just teamed with Pearl in Wild Life, so Tango and Bdubs are the most likely

G-E: The third player to eliminate someone has place first or second in every season, as well as Simple Life

O-L: Going back to the B-E chart, Gem has teamed with people who have placed in the top five, and Grian, Ren, and Cleo placed 2nd, 3rd, and 4th

O-I: Ignoring Double Life, Cleo has been on three teams of 4 and two teams of 3, and 4th place has been on a team of 4 three times after placing 4th and a team of 3 once, so Cleo has a 67% chance of being on a team of 4

O-F: Even though I expect Etho to win, he always places in the bottom 50% in odd-numbered seasons and the top 50% in even-numbered seasons, which is actually the opposite of Bdubs (before WL)

O-E: Jimmy has accidentally killed someone in every season except for Last Life and Double Life

O-7: Grian is the only person to get an elimination in every season he has been in

Watcher: Origins

Main (Main) characters:

Grian - Avian, shapeshifter, watcher

Mumbo - vampire

Scar - vex

Martyn - elf, listener

Pearl - harpy

Jimmy - avian

Martyns might change in the future. Pearl too I think. But have this for now. ^^

Summer commissions open!
