Btw, if you have not had tragedy dropped on you before, grief does fuck you up in unexpected and physical ways. If you can’t sleep or sleep more than expected or have more or reduced appetite, or energy goes weird— your brain just had a bunch of emotions dropped on it and sometimes it reacts by hitting every button in your brain. It will pass. Just try to not get too frustrated with yourself.
It’s also fine if you feel normal. Grief literally hits everybody differently, and some people are made to be able to to keep the farm going the day after a death, and some of us turn into sleepless gargoyles and get really into trying to help, and some of us are just unspeakably sad. Grief is weird. Be kind to yourself.

Rating the Hermits based on how much they paid attention to Grian punching the floor
I've become minorly obsessed with the way Grian decided to break the stone blocks at the beginning, so here's me trying desperately to see what the everliving fuck he's doing. There's no specific order to this because only the wind can tell which hermit I'm gonna watch next.
uh, also, this post is gonna get long sorry, I did my best to watch every hermit BUT i might have missed some, don't @ me im doing this for fun.
also pls dont let this flop this took ENTIRELY too long
Grian: just as incomprehensibly as he broke the blocks, he incomprehensibly failed to include footage of himself doing so, despite there being quite a bit of arguably important dialogue during that time. 0/10
Cleo: cleo passes over grian multiple times before staring at him for a few seconds as he breaks a block. she seems quietly confused, but moves on. bonus points because he entered the frame a couple times afterward and its REALLY funny to see him breaking the block in the background. 9/10, off to a good start
Tango: camera angles made it easy to see every hermit, i had a great view of grian the entire time. 8/10 loved the birds-eye view
Mumbo: didn't show the intro clip at all, nor did I see him look at Grian in other people's povs. 0/10 i expected better of you mumbo
Iskall: cut a lot of the intro out, stared a mountains a lot, but didn't look at grian. 1/10 at least he showed the intro
Impulse: you can see grian a couple times before he breaks the blocks, as well as a clear shot of him at 1:57 of him in the actual act. 3/10 we got to see him but impulse didn't take note of his odd behavior whatsoever
Scar*: He's the first one to log into the server, but we dont see much of grian until the very end of the reunion clip. However, we do get a closer look at grian than we did with impulse, with a much clearer view. unfortunately, cleo does get in the way, but its very possible that scar noticed what grian was doing. 6/10* he gets extra points for all those times grian killed him + his intro made me laugh
Doc: doc passes over grian quite a few times, even gets close to him at one point. its possible that he noticed his strange activity but simply didnt care. 5/10 its okay i guess
False: we get a good several seconds of grian in the corner of the frame, and at the end of the clip false moves like she's about to inspect what grian is doing. 7/10 im hopeful but we can't prove if she took note of it
Gem: again, we have an overhead camera view of all the hermits! Grian is a bit far away and it's very short, but we have a clear view of him! 6/10
Bdubs: we see grian for about .2 seconds. 2/10 (he gets an extra point because he included a sneeze as a transition in his video, and that is just as, if not more, confusing and incomprehensible as what grian was doing.)
Joe: Joe seems to by trying to look everywhere BUT grian. we see him a grand total of twice. 1/10
Pearl: YESSS!!!!! not only do we see grian multiple times, but Pearl baffedly ZOOMS IN on our dear Grian, providing us a clear view of his actions and highlighting how strange it is!!! 10/10, i have NO complaints
Cub: we get a good view of grian but not while he's breaking blocks. 1/10 he tried
Zedaph: didnt show the intro clip, which is a shame. I think he would've liked to study grian. 0/10
Xisuma: we can see grian breaking blocks for a good few seconds, i have more to say but ill save it till the end. 3/10 with a caveat
Keralis: It looks like those big eyes of his have come in handy!!! we get a delightful view of grian breaking the blocks, though it seems he didn't think to make a note of it. 8/10 im pleasantly surprised
TFC: we. we didn't see anything of grian. 1/10 he gets a point bc he at least showed the intro
Beef: we get a decently close shot of grian breaking the stone for about .5 seconds. Beef pays more attention to a sheep in the forest than anyone else. 3/10 the sheep is really cute
Jevin: Jevin is actually right behind grian as he breaks his first block!! we get a front-row view of grian for a good chunk of time, but jevin either doesn't notice or doesnt care about what he's doing. 8/10
xB: We see grian break a block, as well as him working on his next one a couple other times! 6/10 pretty decent
Wels: didnt show the intro 0/10
Stress: stress is standing farther back to see all of the hermits, so we can see grian in the back jumping up and down and punching the ground. its very cute. also we see a really quick shot of grian closer up at the end of the intro. 5/10 it gave me much joy to see grian hopping up and down
Aaaaand thats it! that's all the hermits who have uploaded season 9 videos!! but wait! I mentioned that xismua had a caveat!! I put asterisks on scar's score!! What was that all about??
Well, as I was watching Xisuma's video, staring at grian like a chameleon would at a fly, I noticed someone come over and investigate Grian closer. Who was it, you ask? Well, as you mightve guessed, it was none other than our beloved Mr. Goodtimes!! But that's not all-- Scar, at 2:42, JOINED Grian in punching the ground! I tried to take a screenshot but there were many nametags in the way. this was the best shot i could get
(additional terrifying bdubs for your viewing pleasure)
I dont know why xisuma is the only hermit who managed to even get a glimpse of scar joining in-- though keralis kiiinda sees scar at 1:20 of his video-- but honestly, after the ungodly amount of time it took to find and document all this, finding out that scar joined in has made my entire day better ajdnfg
Anyways! Final scores for Scar and Xisuma!
Xisuma: 6/10 (docked points because getting a good screenshot was so hard :[ )
Scar: 100000/10, i am kissing him directly on the lips. he understood the assignment even better than i did
