Recap #10: "I am mAde of hErmIt anGst"

And now, in Hermittpad-AUs-that-came-up-this-week-that-ARE-happening: OpalReader88 is making a Hermittpad magic AU that's still open to join (https://forms.gle/2R9qSpdhg7BCTryf7), poweraph is still accepting applicants for their Hermittpad High School AU (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf4-P_uo6GcL4SJFeszh4rm70efp18IYTd9BKLnG3k3dZXKXg/viewform?usp=sf_link), and AlterlineSucks is opening a Hermittpad apocalypse- murder mystery AU (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScT07Czjllev9SDakUkXq5NY8iSdTHk8FZkq0YrIyadT1CKCA/viewform?usp=pp_url). Get in while ya still can, folks!

Mysaat updated their story "Like a True Friend" for the first time in over a year this week. This book was published in November 2018, and slowly faded into obscurity over its year of inactivity- but it's back, and quite possibly the oldest active book in Hermittpad at this point.

Normally I wouldn't mention this week's fandom-wide tag, but it's a bit different this time. Casuallyy pioneered a Positivity Tag; you'll get tagged with a short paragraph saying positive things about you, and then you have to spread the positivity by making your own tag chapter, tagging several people and writing a few kind sentences about them. This is a really great way to spread kindness in this fandom, thank you Kittie! <3

As well as that, the Boop has been taking over Hermittpad faster than tags ever could, shredding apart announcement boards and the like with various plays on "boop! Pass it on <3" or "YOUVE BEEN BOOPED LET THE BOOPPACALYPSE BEGIN". I made the mistake of booping Alter, who then booped everyone, who prompted Smutler to make an announcement, and- oh lord, it's all gotten out of hand.

@That-One-Genderfluid started another Hermittpad Demise game, with a new set of rules and challenges (honestly, it's kind of amazing how many ways people can take a concept and play it out in different methods on this platform). This time, the Demised get to vote out one alive team member to knock out each round, though there are also traitors and events thrown in to spice it up. Check Genderfluid's book for a more descriptive runthrough of the rules!

Skys26 's Wood Wars started, with a riddle using several codes to get to a certain profile and a list of Minecraft trivia to start off the war. Last time we talked about Wood Wars, I think a Dark Oak cult started in our comments..? Not naming any names but- you know who you are.

If you haven't heard yet (not sure how), Wels introduced a new character to his Hermitcraft videos the other day; Helsknight, opening up a vast plateau of 0pportunity for ships, angst, fluff, and more. If your notifs haven't been flooded with Hels fanart, fanfiction, and announcements lately, you really are a hermit.

@IAmRedXD has recently been dubbed as 'the Bdoc dealer' in the announcements of NoNamedNerd. They've since delivered with a 4.5k word Bdoc soulmate AU in their Hermitcraft oneshot book!

Snouwball wrote an adorable Cleoss fluff oneshot set back in Season 6 that's guaranteed to steal your heart! In sharp contrast to fluff, we see that llamacarrot has recently started a new book: The Break-Out; an action-packed Gang AU of sorts.

@YAYS940 wrote a spot of platonic Kersuma- in this great work of fiction, Keralis tackles Xisuma as a way of saying hello so Xisuma pUllS oUt a tAseR oN hiM- I don't know how the author managed to make tasering wholesome, but it's Kersuma so I'm not going to question it. Every day, I swear, this fandom strays further from the line of sanity-
