the one issue about the hermit post system is that when you receive mail, the shulker box doesn't state who sent the mail, unless the sender wrote their name down on a piece of paper. because of this, hermits are able to frame other hermits by sending mail using another hermit's name, while the real sender is left anonymous.
while joel is away in japan for two weeks, it's a perfect time for pranking!.....etho
-on stream, cleo said that they are planning on filling joel's mailbox with love confessions from etho. for example, "this made me think of you" and "do you like me? check yes or no."
-someone left a "love joel x" sign at iskall's base. as a response, iskall is spamming joel's mailbox with love letters and flowers, saying "hi x" and "thinking about you x". the thing is... iskall didn't leave his name on any of the notes he sent.
alongside cleo's love confessions from etho, it is very likely that joel will think iskall's love letters are also from etho. it's boutta be the "joel xo" and etho statues all over again
anyways, the hermits are having too much fun with the mail system, which is great because pearl, etho, and tango worked really hard on it. all i know is that when joel comes back online, he's gonna have a big surprise waiting for him lol
I feel like no one's mentioned this yet but Joel seems to be really good at turning himself into not the but of the joke
Like at the start of the neck kisses bit, everyone was just making fun of Joel's slip up and him insisting "I don't kiss people's necks"
But by the end of the stream everyone was groaning when he made the joke and now he's signing books with "neck kisses"
Now with the Etho's obsessed bit, somehow all the hermits are actually making fun of Etho over Joel for being obsessed, even though Joe started this two years ago by wearing Etho's face on his chest
can i say. kind of delighted joel seems to slowly be inching into being the server's second armor stand guy? like between his glow squid and the lizzie statue's tail, that is more slightly complicated armor stand work than basically any non-cleo hermit normally dares go for, and while like, i don't know if i see him fully specializing into it, it's cool to see a second hermit using armor stands like that. neat.
Watching back Iskall's charity stream Guess the Build POV is wild.
It goes from "person with big eyebrows" through "baby Grian" to "a duck-dog hybrid taking a poop" and lands on "disrespectful small dog". I believe this round typifies two rules that control the trajectory of any HC guess the build:
If you make a generic person, do not give them a red shirt, or they will immediately be interpreted as Grian, and
Skizzleman has a beautiful mind and will never guess what you think he is about to guess.
today on jimmy solidarity’s stream: jimmy has acquired a sugar daddy father
context: ben jordan gifted about 60 memberships and then jimmy was like “pls tell me you’re an adult and not just got dad’s credit card” and ben said “mate i’m 43, i’m the dad” and jimmy decided to be like “you’re my father now. i’ve decided” so ben is now playing into the bit
