Just some scribbles of interactions from ZombieCleo’s livestream of the world-eater’s first run because i am STILL NOT OVER IT, between Doc explaining 0 things and the others’ careful concern during the first hiccup, how much the vibe was like…… tfw youre friends with a mad scientist and you have no idea what he’s doing but u understand his evil science is important to him!!! and ur trying to support his interests
I had such a blast watching all the hermits’ april fools pranks. And I kinda really started to adore ZombieCleo’s gorgon skin an concept for her season 9 character.
[ID: A digital drawing of Zombie Cleo and Joe Hills. It is of Cleo’s back from Joe’s perspective, he is using right gold thread tow sew her green skin patches together, at some places in the stitching are embroidered flowers. Joe has green and black painted nails, hairy arms, and has one hand on Cleo’s back and the other holding the needle. Cleo is shirtless and has moved her large, wavy, orange hair over one shoulder and out of the way. /End ID]
3rd Life and Last Life are such wildly different in terms of vibes and rules on so many ways but man. Nothing will compare to when everyone was just figuring shit out on 3rd Life. They were running around looking for everyone to mess with the proximity chat. They were making monopolies on trees. They were making monopolies on sand. They were accidentally starting raids. They were desperately searching for cows while one guy hoarded them. They were making allies just because. They were making traps for fun and getting surprised when they actually killed someone. They were petrified of red names who were just confused about being alive. They were making up random lore. They were starting wars because they felt like it. They were somehow making everything connect despite it being unscripted. Unmatched. Unparalleled. It’s like when the first season of a show is made on like twenty dollars and lint before the second season got the thousand dollar budget boost to polish it off.
More updates to the Hermitcraft lost AU! They’re all coming together. More or less.
more under the cut
Cleo got herself a spyglass and surveys the land while atop Ren and Doc’s tower, and eventually spots Keralis in the distance. She grabs Ren and they both go down and find Keralis scared out of his mind bc a monster (read: Impulse) has been following him around, also doesn’t help that Cleo is quite actually a zombie and Ren’s a glorified werewolf. It results in Cleo knocking Keralis out and Ren dragging him back to the tower.
Impulse didn’t see any of this, instead later finding like an indent in the ground where Keralis was dragged off and assumes some monster got him, and is mad suspicious of the giant scary tower in the distance, thinking it’s a new mob. He goes back to Boatem and tells them to gear tf up, they’re going on a rescue mission.
Wels has also spotted the tower and in his Knightly Quest, asked if the others wanted to storm it to see what the situation was. Jevin very much does Not want to go in there, but he also doesn’t want to be left behind. Stress is too curious to NOT check it out, and Xisuma also doesn’t want to go in, but he’s not letting his Hermits go without him. This can only go so well.
False is in pure Gotta Get Out Of This Server For MCC mode and Zed is helping her out because ~science~ while Iskall is bolstering their defenses. He’s mostly doing this because Joe’s in the area trying to find Cleo and scared the shit out of him. Joe would drop in to say hi but he’s in the tunnel vision of finding Cleo at the moment.
Etho went mining and accidentally stumbled across TFC’s strip mines and ran into him and Hypno just Hanging Out. The three made eye contact for a moment before Etho went “uh. carry on” before continuing on his way. Someday someone will make him interact with everyone and process things. Today is not that day.
Gem brought Cub out of his water hideout before raiding it of all supplies. He’s now the one that watches the cats while Gem builds a pretty base and xB mines for supplies. It’s a good routine. Until xB zones out down there and gets his ass right on the edge of the deep dark. Hypno finds him and they have a whole adventure down there of xB going “YOU’RE OKAY what the hell happened to you” and Hypno being vague as shit because hes become Cryptid. results in Gem returning home one day to Cub still with the cats and going “aw shit we lost one”
Tango keeps trying to break out of Beef’s house thinking the creature has imprisoned him but eventually gives in somewhat after Beef just exasperatedly dragging him back each time. Continuously spots Bdubs out the window and continues to narrate him. Beef eventually realizes that Tango isn’t being crazy, a friend is actually out there. Eventually manages to find Bdubs having a crisis on “is this heaven or hell???” and throws him into his house to keep him safe. Bdubs crisis increases upon seeing two of his friends in supposed death.
I have updates to the Lost AU! I really just like this one I think it’s fun. Tempted to write something for it not gonna lie.
This one is mainly focused on some of the Hermits coming across each other in the Vast World

Joe is not actually the one to find Cleo in the End. No, that credit goes to Doc, who had Ren’s help to find all the items, and also came across one of TFC’s strip mines with no TFC, and ventured in to get some elytra (and see if it had an Enderdragon) because if anything was going to attract Grian like a magnet, it was elytra. If he can find that guy, he’s bound to find quite a few more. He instead found Cleo stealing her 12th elytra. They just kinda stared at each other for a bit before Doc asked if she wanted to come back
Joe appears in the End about ten minutes after they leave and almost immediately is like “something,,,,is Not Right” and finds Cleo’s abandoned farm. He knows very well that Cleo can handle herself but he’s still worried bc if she’s not here…oh god she’s in the Overworld isn’t she. Cue cat and mouse game where they only JUST miss each other
Xisuma’s been running around trying to kickstart his admin abilities again while going on a Search for his Hermits. He eventually comes across Wels doing the exact same thing. Difference is that Xisuma’s Hardcore Adventurer façade immediately dropped when seeing one of his other Hermits alive and well and was resulted to an emotional mess. Many hugs were given. Wels brought him back to Stress and Jevin and the process repeated. On god they gotta give this guy a break
Tango eventually found where Etho and Beef resided and stuck around in the area to find the ‘elusive’ creatures. Beef found Adequate and that led to him finding Tango. There was absolutely zero way to convince him that he wasn’t an alien lizard man, so he just. Kept Tango in his house. No, he is not a prisoner, this is for his own safety
Impulse came across Keralis on one of his searches. Problem is that Impulse is quite actually a demon, and Keralis is already on Edge. Keralis takes one look at him and bolts. Impulse is now trying to find the guy and coax him out with pspspsps
Gem and xB went on an ocean expedition and came across Cub’s base. They thought it was some strange new spawned ocean structure and were met with a very beardy, very scatterbrained Cub wielding a sword. xB was wary, but Gem immediately hugged Cub and started talking nonstop about “oh your HERE! if your here and xB is here then the others must be, too!” and Cub is just so bewildered and starved for human contact he just lets her ramble. none of them have realized Ren and Doc are in the distance
Bdubs found one of TFC’s strip mines by falling in it. Hypno also happened to be lurking around and Bdubs just saw a pair of fucked up looking eyes in the darkness that made him feel like he was staring into the abyss and immediately turned and left. Is now wondering if this is a very deceptive hell instead of heaven
Iskall came across False and Zed by False’s bird also trying to eat him. Was made even more paranoid by it all, but Zed refused to let him leave because “PLEASE I need someone sensible who also won’t talk about MCC nonstop” so now he’s here. False is very much the hunter of the triad while Zed and Iskall are the gatherers.
By this point there’s already a bunch of rumors/known Rules of sorts circulating around because the Hermits almost have a hive mind. 1) be VERY careful when mining because there’s something really fucked up lurking down there. 2) don’t mind the humanoid-shaped figures at the corner of your eyes, they won’t be there when you turn around 3) mostly every biome has SOMETHING weird going on in the middle of it but we don’t know what and 4) you’ll never know if you’re alone or not
Basically, all the Hermits are scaring the shit out of each other because they keep acting like cryptids, and then making up more cryptid stories about them, and it’s a whole echo chamber that keeps goin’ round and round until everyone’s convinced they’re on a haunted, cursed, or already inhabited world
Alright. Hermitcraft AU where 1) it was not a simulation and 2) after they all escaped Moon Big, they wound up in Season 9. But all of them are separated from each other in this big world and they have to figure out where the hell everyone is. It’s literally just a manhunt and they’re all the hunters and the hiders.
more under the cut
After Grian realized the world was literally actually ending, he figured “yeah, there’s no way everyone made it off in time” and went into Watcher Mode to yeet all the remaining Hermits onto the new world, but he kind of fucked it up a bit bc 1) my mans does not like using his Watcher powers all that often he’s out of practice and 2) he was just trying to get them Off The Planet Being Destroyed he didn’t really care where they ended up, he had to skedaddle back to the Void w Boatem as fast he could after he teleported them all away
So everyone who woke up in this new world completely alone are: Bdubs, Keralis, xB, Iskall, Stress, Hypno, Zed, Beef, Etho, Wels, & TFC. As to be expected, this all went in very different ways.
Bdubs just straight-up thinks he’s dead. Guy thinks this is what the afterlife looks like. He woke up in a field with Squakers and is now just roaming around thinking that death is really fun but also quite lonely.
Keralis is freaking out. Very on edge, is expecting to look up and suddenly see the moon is twenty times it’s size completely overnight. Always thinking something is gonna go wrong but it never does. Someone help him.
xB is so confused. He thinks that he must have awoken from his bunker and the world wasn’t destroyed, and maybe someone was playing a joke on them? Maybe the moon just passed right by the earth? He doesn’t know, and he can’t find his bunker. Guy is just looking to find Hypno or Jevin.
Iskall is going a little nuts being completely alone tbh. Can be found running around going “Etho where the FUCK ARE YOU” at the sky. Usually sticks to the mountains so he can survey the land and try and find anyone.
Stress is vibing in the arctic with the polar bears and rabbits. She’s very confused but she’s not going to question it, she’s going to start living her best life and once she’s got a functional home, she will see if anyone is around.
Hypno just spawned right next to the deep dark. You can imagine how well thats going.
Zed is just hitchhiking across the world. He has no idea how he got here or why the moon is normal again and he’s questioningeverything.Mans is paranoid as hell and jumps at every little noise. Grabs horse by the face and asks it to explain wtf is going on
Beef woke up in a mesa, stared at nothing for a bit, then went “well. guess a new season started” and refuses to acknowledge anything that happened in season 8. Moon Big? Never happened. Shared hallucination. It’s fine. He’s just gonna wander around and get lost for a while.
Etho appeared in a forest and has not left. Guy barely acknowledged the moon was big he just looked up, went, “oh thats not normal” and then he woke up here. Was it a dream? He thinks it was a dream. Is Iskall around here? Nobody knows. He’s just reverting back to the single-player mentality and becoming one with the bees.
Wels woke tf up and immediately decided to go on a quest to find everyone. He remembers Hermit seasons where everyone just split off n didn’t bother with introductions but he misses people :( he wants to go save his friends.
TFC hasn’t noticed literally anything out of the ordinary. Guy woke up, saw that his mines and farms were gone, went “oh. guess there was a server wipe or something” and went straight back to doing his old things.
All of Boatem got spat out into the darkest depths of the world, where a small hole in bedrock met the Void and they all crawled out. They all stuck together as they hurriedly tried to make their way back to the surface. They somehow completely miss Hypno becoming a cryptid in the deep dark as they try to find sunlight.
Gem popped out into the new world with her portal and is totally fine. She looked around at this world, went “well. sure hope my friends are here” and like Etho, reverted back to single-player mindset. She’s got a lot of cats.
Cub crash-landed in the ocean and is just kinda. stuck there. he’s got no boat, so he just swims out for a little bit gathering materials before going back to the crash site, which landed on a bunch of coral. Someone please get him out of there
Tango drifted around in space with Adequate for a while before also crashing in the new world. Thinks it’s a completely foreign planet and is prepared to find aliens around every corner with the poor horse having to put up with this.
Ren and Doc had an actual normal landing on the planet. They surveyed the land for a minute, went “well. guess we should make a beacon” and started building a tall skyscraper building in the hopes their friends would see it and come check it out. Unaware that half of these people would see a demonic structure on this world they are completely unfamiliar with and immediately go the other direction.
Xisuma is still in the Nether. He’s afraid to leave and see the destruction, but is also scared out of his mind for his Hermits. Sure, the Big Moon hid the fact he created cryptocurrency, but STILL. His admin powers have fizzled and glitched, and every day its a “will he won’t he” on leaving the Nether.
False found the world with her giant eagle and is now just traveling around on it. Thinks she’s the only one on the world, thinks the rest of her friends got scattered onto other servers. Still has MCC on the brain and wonders if she’ll still be able to make it to the next event.
Joe left on an elytra but also just. Appeared on this new world. That’s how he works, he’s just There. Currently grinding to find an end portal so he can go get Cleo.
Cleo, meanwhile, is still in the End. She’s got a little farm going for her, and since Grian killed the Enderdragon, all she has to worry about are the endermen. She doesn’t really like it there, but she’s alive. Knows that Joe will find her eventually.
Jevin half-landed half-crashed and is pissing off the local villagers by taking refuge in their homes and perching on roofs as if he’ll see anyone. Puts a bunch of SOS in the ground and flags on the roofs that the villagers keep trying to take down. The iron golem is very close to kicking him out.
Now it’s just a game of chasing and finding. Which is exceptionally hard when a decent amount of them don’t know they should be looking for others, or trying to be found. Place your bets now on who’s found first!
Yes, there will be giant ass buildings these lunatics create in their searching. The land is just LITTERED with structures from the Hermits travels, some half-made, some past the treeline. It’s all very odd
But also… the person best known for using armour stands? Having some sort of Gorgon motif? That’s so fucking cool. Everyone go home Cleo wins best S9 skin.
I was wondering why the tips of her hair had that texture, initially I though it had beads, now it makes more sense
[ ID: A full body drawing of Cleo and Joe. Cleo is sitting cross legged in front of Joe and turning to swat at him with one arm. She is a zombie covered in stitching and missing an eye. She’s wearing a sports bra and a pair of shorts. She has short messy hair pulled half up. She has an amused expression. Joe is kneeling behind Cleo. He is a humanoid with no head. Where it should be, there is a scribbled void. He’s wearing a tanktop and a long skirt. He’s gesturing animatedly with his arms. He’s holding a needle in one hand, which is connected to a long thread that connects to Cleo’s arm and a row of her stitches. He’s holding the thread up with his other hand. There are two extra hands floating around him. One is holding a spool of thread and the other is holding a paper with a pattern for sewing on it. End ID ]
