The fundamental problem with Scar and Grian when it comes to forming alliances is a difference of expectations. Grian is a tactician. He assumes that in a war or a big multiplayer game, you need to get yourself a loyal team. Anybody who is on your team is your buddy, anybody who isn't on your team is your enemy. That is the only way to win. Anybody who won't pick a side is not to be trusted, and he is surprised and annoyed if someone won't make their allegiances clear.

Scar, on the other hand, is a diplomat. He never thinks about forming a team because his assumption is that everyone he meets is going to be nice to him. His charisma is high enough that this is true way more often than not. Even when he is being a chaos gremlin, he tends to get away with it for much longer than he probably ought to because he is funny and charming and just a little bit intimidating. He doesn't consider people he makes deals with to be teammates because he doesn't see the world in terms of teams, but as a network of shifting relationships. He is surprised and annoyed when the web starts getting sticky, with various friends starting to want him to fight other friends.

Grian believes that loyalty deserves loyalty, and that if you are someone's teammate you protect each other no matter how you feel. Scar believes that friendship is what it is, and that relationships can ebb and flow with time and circumstance. Note that in Third Life, newly-red Scar seeks to reestablish a friendship rather than confirm that Grian is still loyal to him, and that in Double Life, Grian justifies his secret soulmate by rationalizing that the relationship will in the end also benefit Scar by keeping them safe. Note also that in Last Life and Double Life Scar wanted to live alone but work together and Grian was not at all on board with that because you can trade and borrow and joke from separate bases but you can't really protect one another.

There is always going to be friction in their alliances because Scar wants a buddy and Grian wants a teammate and those two things are not always compatible at all. It's going to be the same thing with Hermitopia because the more Grian tries to loop Scar into the team, the harder Scar is going to fight to get away, while at the same time Scar is very unlikely to actually take sides against the Hermits because they are his friends. Neither of them can get what they want from each other because neither of them have figured out how to make the other understand what it actually is.

Maybe they need another panda sanctuary. I hear that's good for communication.

I have so many feelings about the Moon Crash. Like, narrative-wise, it hits me so hard, man. Joe told Cleo to leave them, yes, but the sign... It's intriguing to imagine it as a test that Cleo failed.

I mean, Joe's been there from the beginning. It's reasonable to assume that they've seen many people leave and it's reasonable to assume that there could be a insecurity (/rp) there about it. With the context that Hermitcraft is real life, Joe might be scared (at least subconsciously, no matter how irrational) that people are leaving because of them, that— despite no evidence —there're 'not enough' for people to stay... which leads to Joe being reckless and using the Moon Crash to test to see if Cleo would leave them in a clearly dangerous situation.

And they failed, not because Cleo didn't understand it was dangerous, but because Cleo trusts Joe. Cleo trusted Joe, even when they didn't want to, even when Joe really just wanted their support.

In Hermittopia, did Joe even know they could go back if things got dangerous, that Cleo exiled them— yes, because they were being a little dumb and self-destructive (because who hands out resumés to clearly dangerous people and steals a horn license without being a little self-destructive?) but also —for the bit? Like, narrative-wise, Cleo's actions could be interpreted as both a messed up joke and an urge for Joe to take some time to think.

Joe, as a character, is as kind as they are reckless, especially with their own health, and as a character, liberties can be taken with how their actions and behaviour reflect on themself in a 'Minecraft is real life' context. Yes, Hermits helping Hermits is very sweet, but when you literally live in a trash can that you even struggled to find a place for because nobody left room for you after you spent so long helping someone, only for them to thank you and leave everything behind like it was a stepping stone, after your team had been forgotten and left out of closing ceremony without a second thought until it was too late... and that whole permit thing with Doc...

I have a lot of feelings and thoughts, as you can see.

Narratively speaking, Joe gives and gives and gives— They give so much and seem content to fade into the background, be taken for granted (well, that's exaggerating, but when you're always pushing yourself to give so much, it's normal to feel bitter, even when you're the one pushing yourself to do it). It's ok to want attention, of course. Joe thrives on attention, but without proper communication, it can fall flat quickly. Humiliation can help one learn, and as a content creator, Joe knows what they signed up for. As a character? That's free game.

A decade is a long time, after all, and it's certainly enough time for miscommunication to happen. In a game, it's not so bad, but when that game is real life?

Well, that's the fun of storytelling!

Now that Empires s2 is over I was going through my files and found this, a series of roughs I made back during the Crossover and then never posted! It’s my take on the conversation with Grumbot that led to him trying to kill everyone 🤖

I'm sure no one meant it to be as heartbreaking as it was, but the whole process in Grian's episode where he dies

Then he respawns back in Hermitopia, and he has no gear and so he has to swim back to the rift

And he's cheering every time that one of the hermits escape and pass through safely back over to Hermitcraft through the rift

And then he sees this

And at first he doesn't realise what it's doing

I'm sure he could immediately recognise it was a tnt flying machine but he pulls himself up to the bridge and watches and realises

It's aimed at his boy

Grian: Why have you done this to my little Grumbot?!

It's heartbreaking and damnit it's just so much that's his son, sure he may be a little evil, but that's HIS BOY AAAAAAAAAA

And he's desperately clawing his way back instead, and he's trying to grab as much blocks he can and all the emperors are calling to hold him down, to stop him, to kill him

And he does die, and he respawns back and he scrambles to the chests to grab anything to pillar up with

And he's building and building and he's panicked and pillars the wrong place but he's getting there and then

He's not able to save him and he throws himself of the pillar to die too and just

WHO GAVE THEM THE RIGHT TO RIP OUR HEARTS LIKE THAT THAT'S JUST HORRIBLE AAAAAAAAAA

One thing I like about Joe Hills' streams is that he's just, like, a guy who lives in a Situation. Joe's Hermitcraft life is very weird. His house is full of ghosts. One of the grocery stores is an eldritch being. His big axolotl gets dressed up for Halloween. The compass on his floor leads him into a dimensional portal to the world of weird kings. Everything just happens all the time.

But even with everything that happens, Joe just rolls with it like a guy who got lost in the wilderness and decided to join a wolf pack and live accordingly. Like "I should say hello to Scar every time he signs on so he won't drop by and murder me" Or "False has something seriously wrong going on with her right now, maybe I should carry two totems when she's around (but I'm still going to live right outside her house.)" Or "We've fallen through a dimensional rift into a world of strange kings and queens... I need to get a job!"

In the often high-concept world of bizarre silliness that is Hermitcraft, Joe Hills is Just That Guy, which is simultaneously the best comic relief and possibly the highest-concept bit you could ask for.

I’m pretty sure Jimmy mentioned off-handedly during one of his streams that the only person he’d let be sheriff is mumbo (before taking it back and saying he wouldn’t let anyone else be sheriff but ignore that part) and I.

I simply think that a mumbo-jimmy sheriff duo couldn’t possibly be a better (or worse) idea
