Day 9 (kinda): Martyn!

Like we said before, we're doing life series members as well as normal hermits in our au! Instead of outfit swap, we have Martyn today for Hermit a Day May! Also notable in this fic is that he's in a poly relationship with Ren and Doc <3 (More on that in our future posts)

AAAAAH I'M SO EXCITED TO READ THISSSSSSSS

ok first impressions, I love the distinctions you made between galactic and english writing and why it exists, as well as notes on the purpose of the journal. I'm so happy you're thinking so deeply about all this!!! "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" is such a great piece of analysis. (Also right off the bat, Skizz seems VERY lonely/paranoid from your descriptions lol)

Impulse - great ideas on why Skizz wrote that, not gonna confirm or deny bcuz it's spoilers, but great theories...

Tango - no particular thoughts, but you analyzing Skizz's analysis is making me happy wiggle in my seat :P

False - "WHAT DID IMPULSE DO TO GET A 9 WITH THE SWORDFIGHTING 4 ARMS LADY??" evil cackling >:))))) Also love that you're comparing ratings between the hermits and why Skizz might've given those

Mumbo - also love that you're thinking about the hermits as a community and not just them as individuals with the redstone thoughts + noting that Skizz comes from a very different place from Hermitcraft. Also interesting to me that you notice Skizz's familiarity with shulkers (side note: we have the most interesting shulker lore in this that will probably never be discussed, but still makes me happy)

Thank you so so much for your thoughts! I eat them up like they're the most scrumptious dessert :3

Also: All journal posts, if anyone's interested

Have good day <3

Galactic translations and theories of lils au

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

Day 8: Hypno

I forgot to schedule this before going to bed, shhhh don't tell anyone... Also, for people who have sent asks, Enkay and I are working on answering them!! It's just been a little busy :P Hope you enjoy Skizz's entry for today :D

Day 7: BDoubleO !!

The moss man himself! I love his stupid lil guy, he looks just like a tiny glare <3

Day 6: Mumbo Jumbo :D

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

Theoretically, if I started doing commissions (art and potentially writing), would people be interested in that? Idk how much I'd charge yet, but here's some examples of my art + link to my writing to help decide:

More examples under the cut! Varying backgrounds, shading, styles, etc.

Day 5: False!

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 ;)

Day 4: Jimmy! Wait... that's not a Hermit!

Did we mention that all the life-series people are also included in our universe? And that we're making journals for all of them? No? Oh. Well, here you are!

Obv not part of Hermit a Day May, but you get the point. Bonus: the full photo, featuring Grian and Jimmy!

All journal posts, if you're interested :P

Guys I got possessed....

Literally I have so much to do rn but Enkay showed me this skin and then I blacked out

Ref under the cut, skin credits

Day 3: Tango!!

Skizz's journal for Tango! By me and @enkays-den. Here's the link to our ao3 fic, if you want to read more about our universe. (LOTS more coming soon!!) Feel free to ask any questions you might have :)

Also, @hermitadaymay is doing a fundraiser for Gamer’s Outreach! Here’s the post! There are stretch goals and $1 raffles, if anyone wants to contribute
