love this freak
I oaaaiahhhh woahhhhhhgggghhhh
Actually you know what, have your pizza.
Hi! I will be translating and theorizing @enkays-den and @cannibal-walleye’s lils au posts at the end of every 7 days :)
AO3 Link: https://archiveofourown.org/series/4663420
So, let’s start for the first 1-7 days!
I will also say that I am a beta reader for this au, am in a gc with the two of them, and I don’t know if I know information that the public isn’t supposed to know… so if you see this and I say something and enkay/walleye don’t shoot me down before it’s too late uhhhh congrats!
I entered this au wanting Skizzpulse kissing and here I am… they hate eachother/silly
This is also my first time ever making a tumblr thread like this, so if it’s messy I’m sorry :,(
Spoilers if you want to translate days 1-7 on your own
I’ll do a summary here on what I think these journal pages are exactly
The general thought of these galactic messages are that Skizz is analyzing how much the hermits are threats to him, depending on their abilities, and he is most likely preparing if he needs to ever fight them. Knowing how they are and their strengths and weaknesses are probably the only way he can beat them if he has to.
It’s a journal but it’s also maybe a strategy guide, so Skizz knows as much as he possibly can about each hermit.
He intends for only himself to be reading it, so hopefully no one gets ahold of his journal and knows galactic, maybe it’s a prominent language from where he is from.
The more silly comments are in English, so Skizz knows that if someone does get ahold of the book that they’ll be reading the English portions
Skizz’s true thoughts/analysis is in galactic though.
Skizz is on high alert, no one is truly a friend in his mind, no matter how nice they seem.
Day 1: Impulse
IX (9) very tall, can fly, extremely heat resistant
Can shed disguise instantly.
Armourer
Axe and sword proficiency
Taught daughters how to fight.
In human form he is unarmoured could have demonic traits without the form.
Tail and talons and horns human form.
He can hurt me.
-The thing that prompts “He can hurt me” is probably on the way back to the hermit settlement thing imp and skizz run in to something/someone and they aren’t friendly, impulse kicks their ass
Alternatively, Skizz is generally scared of Imp cuz of what he’s learned of him so far
Impulse could have some talent that he shows off at some point that scares Skizz
This is just guessing tho idk-
-From these first days I’m PRETTY sure the first letters are Roman numerals for the threat/strength level of the hermit, so there will be numbers next to them.
Day 2: Grian
V (5) can fly, seems to be very agile in the air.
Others complain that he starts wars, presumably not real ones, but seems to be a menace for sure.
Likely a decent fighter.
Sneaky, impulsive
Day 3: Tango
V (5) Heat resistant, not to the extent of Impulse.
Very smart, but does not seem like a strategist.
Not very confrontational.
Despite his attitude, seems unlikely to initiate combat.
-The fact that Skizz says “strategist” instead of like “strategic person” makes me think that Skizz is grouping all the hermits together like they’re an army.
Ex: strategist tango, fighter false, etc
-“Unlikely to initiate combat” also adds to this
Day 4: Jimmy
III (3) Doesn’t seem like a fighter, no significant muscle definition, all bark no bite.
Taller than average, can fly.
Learning the ropes, so he’s not experienced.
Very loud voice, could easily warn others if he needed help.
Day 5: False
IX (9) Twice the arms, twice the danger.
Extremely skilled with weapons and fighting.
May have teleporting and night vision depending on how any end abilities she has. Not that she would tell me if she did.
Uses elytra but is probably very good at flying from all the tests.
X openly said she’s a good fighter. Is this a warning?
-Poor Skizz is realllyyyy on edge, I bet X was just very proud of False and just told Skizz that just to do it. But Skizz thinks he has an ulterior motive-
-The fact that both Impulse (who what we’ve seen so far of him in the actual fic, seems less than a 9) and False (who has 4 arms and amazing fighting skills) are both 9, what makes a 10?
-WHAT DID IMPULSE DO TO GET A 9 WITH THE SWORDFIGHTING 4 ARMS LADY??
Day 6: Mumbo
V (5) depends on phantom traits but even then they’re not that powerful.
Don’t sleep around him.
Very smart but not a fighter.
Smarts seem more technical than strategic.
His flight ability has no physical limitations like the elytras or winged hermits.
I wonder if he can tire out.
-This is a note from the whole page, Skizz comes from somewhere (world? universe?) that doesn’t have redstone. Either the hermits are rich, their land is rich, or Skizz’s old world specifically just didn’t have it.
Skizz’s old world had shulker boxes but not redstone, though maybe getting shulker boxes/pouches are easier in the lils universe
-Also, the scribbled out part was confirmed by Enkay to be Skizz crossing out sprites, and
I find it cute that Skizz is starting to use their phrasings :D
I may see if I can timeline it like which was the first entry which was the last and which are kinda in the middle. But who Skizz meets in what order could already be answered in future lils chapters, no clue, and it does seem like a lot of work but I have it noted down here sooooo maybe.
Day 7: Bdubs
IV (4) literally not a worry at night.
Aggressive personality but doesn’t seem like a fighter.
Don’t know if his abilities are different to a classic tree dryad.
His sprites like to spy.
-Bdubs’s lils are the biggest threat of Bdubs LOL
-On a less angsty note, love the thought of the army of impys and clocks following skizz
And that is all!
This is an amazing series and I love talking to Walleye and Enkay about it bec it’s loreful, angsty, and silly at the same time very cool stuff :)
See you in the next 7 days :D
Hermit A Day May!
Day 1: ImpulseSV
Bright Colors!
Skizz: People think we're making a Naked and Scared right now, dude
Impulse: Right now?
Skizz: Well, in general, not right now
Impulse: I am naked
Skizz and Impulse both start laughing slightly
Skizz: Well that scares me
Impulse: Well there ya go!
Pearl and Gem may be out of town, but it seems that Impulse is missing Skizz the most <3

Yes, he is intentionally floating. There's a story behind it, but it's going to be a hot minute before the full photo comes out. Guess you'll just have to follow to find out... Anyways! His lil guy is probably the most difficult to explain of all of them, why's he built like that lol

2.3k, no warnings
This is a VERY short first chapter of a fic myself and @cannibal-walleye are working on, inspired directly by the designs Hybatt made of their little Tamacrafter Critters!
Say hello to our little friend! An Impy!
Skizz prefers longer hair on Impulse
Impulse: I'm getting a haircut tomorrow, I think? I think? Oh my gosh, how am I going to get a haircut tomorrow, I'm super busy. Anyway. Look at this. Look at the hair, look at the hair. (three seconds silence) It's fine, isn't it. No, it's a mess. My hair's a mess, doesn't know what it's doing--uh, no, this is my Phoenix Suns hat. Usually I like, wear it like this, but. Wear it backwards today. Oh, it's hard to put a hat on in a camera (laughs) Should I leave it off? Should I leave the hair off-or, the hair out? Every time I take off my hat, you guys are like, "just don't wear the hat. You don't need it." (laughs) Eh, my hair is so long though, it's-it's so long. Ah, "No Shave November"--well, I'm allowed to keep it trimmed though. I did that--so, this is--that's what happened last November, I started growing this, and I've had it ever since. Impulse: I--ooh, I've lasted a year with a beard. It's our year anniversary (laughs). Oh, anyway, um, I guess we should play some Phasmo, that's what you guys came to see, right? Should we play some Phasmo? Gonna cut it tomorrow so it looks good, yeah. Joker: (in the background) I'm ready! Skizz: Me too me too. Impulse: (to himself) that's not the right button. (to the others) Yeah, I'm ready too, I was just talking about my hair. Tango: Oh. Skizz: What's wrong with your hair? Impulse: It's long and I want to get a haircut. Tango: Ahhh. Skizz: Dude, just grow it out, dude. Impulse: (incredulous) What are you talking about? Skizz: Let it-let it be. Impulse: I have grown it out, you've seen it-- Skizz: More, I said more! Impulse: Do you remember how I used to do it? It used to be like, always no longer than an inch long. Every single hair follicle. Skizz: Yes. I hated it. So, I-- Impulse: (laughing) You hated it-- Skizz: 'member, I, 'member, dude, grow it out--remember my hair in high school-- Impulse: No! Skizz: --that's what you're going for. Yeah. Impulse: No, your hair--you have-you have thin hair, I don't. So I just have an afro and yours would actually fall and-and look good. Skizz: I--that's what--if you grew--oh, dude, you would have a sweet afro, dude. (Impulse laughs) A sweet afro. Just do it! Tango: Why can't I crouch? Impulse: (examining himself in the monitor, quietly, to himself) It doesn't--it doesn't look good.
Here she is! One of the more unique designs thus far; people usually give her wings, but in our au, she's an end beetle hybrid! Not many of her features are visible in this photo, but there will be more art in the future, along with explanations of what exactly an "end beetle" is ;)
