Hermitcraft reference for fanfic writers

Friends! This version of the list is no longer updated. For the new version, please go to my Nekoweb website.

This is my collection of hermits' speech patterns, habits, characterization bits and small analyses of their behavior that I'm keeping for fanfics.

This is mostly hermits that I frequently watch and am interested in writing fics for, so sorry if your fave isn't on here or has few notes :] Any notes taken from other people are credited in their respective sections!

If you have any more notes, quotes or clips you'd like added to this list, please contact me via Tumblr or e-mail: frannyfranbow@gmail.com.

Plans


Etho

Frequent words

  • Heeey everybody, this is Etho (his intro)
  • I say/I tell ya (used to end sentences, e.g. "it wasn't an easy task, I tell ya!")
  • Yup yup (used to start sentences, e.g. "Yup yup, so after a long day of grinding...")
  • A-ha! (also used to start sentences)
  • Boy (used to start sentences, e.g. "boy is it hard")
  • Oh snappers!/Oh snap! (used in place of "damn!" or similar words, such as when he's surprised or startled.)
  • Shoot!
  • Ooh boy/Oh dear/Oh goodness
  • Jerk (is pretty much the only insult he uses)
  • Head (in a sense of direction, e.g. "let's head on down...", "let's head there")
  • Take care, have a good day, bye-bye (his outro)
  • Stinking (Instead of "freaking" and the like)

Speech habits

  • Etho repeats things a lot. "It's fine it's fine", "Good eye, good eye, captain", "Nice, nice, nice", even his "Yup yup" is an example of this, though it has become more of a stable catchphrase.
  • Rarely, when Etho has a sudden surge of emotions, anger or surprise, he sounds like he's about to swear - clip 1, clip 2
  • In Mindcrack, refered to Bdubs as "BdoubleO", sometimes "Bdub", before settling with "Bdubs".
  • Likes making mom jokes (e.g. calling a hoe "your mom")
  • From time to time, likes to say things in silly voices - clip 1, clip 2, clip 3.

Texting quirks

  • Uses emojis sometimes, particularly:
    • ^_^
    • 0_0
    • o_O
    • xD
    • :D
  • Types in all lower-case, most of the time doesn't capitalize names, but capitalizes I. Doesn't use full stops.
  • Occasionaly types in all caps, and with a lot of exclamation or question marks to show emotion.
  • Frequent words include:
    • lol
    • yikes
  • Shortens sentences (e.g.: "I go back to wiring")

Characterization bits

  • Etho really changes in behavior when with different people, he very much copies the way they talk and their speech patterns. He's more chatty and prone to inappropriate jokes with team canada, he's more theatric with Cleo, and he turns everything into a joke with he's with Bdubs.
  • He also likes to compliment Bdubs and his work and then immediately go "he's so full of himself" or smth like that.. he's allergic to being genuine for too long, he needs to break it up with some jokes, then go "just kidding, love ya, Bdubs" and go on with his day.
  • He also has a way of bringing up Bdubs's height in nearly any situation.
  • Etho is competitive, but in a casual way, for the fun of it. The only person he's interested in winning against is himself.
  • He likes to do something and then analyze what he did wrong. He will jump into things, see what he doesn't know, learn about it, and try again with new knowledge.
  • Etho is a perfectionist and has his way of doing things efficiently or nicely and (jokingly) criticizes people who don't do it (e.g.: the corners on nether portals)
  • He likes to suggest people other, better ways of doing things and he shows off cool stuff he can do and tells cool facts just cause. He likes to share his knowledge and make it open and known.
  • He's very humble. He doesn't like being showered with compliments, and changes the topic when this happens. In his Let's Play series, whenever he invents something, he points out that he might've not been the first to do it. He makes it clear that he's not claiming any discoveries or inventions as his.
  • He loves long-running jokes. The clay that he refused to harvest in his LP, the Bdubs short jokes, more recently "did that make you jump?".
  • He also loves making references, particularly to his favorite show, Seinfeld. A trait he shares with Bdubs is that he references a lot of past events and conversations that only they two will understand, often old and obscure events that happened like 10 years ago.
  • Etho likes to pretend to be clueless, he does so in front of people who he knows will take this opportunity to tease him about it. That said, he is genuinely clueless about a lot of things, making him a topic for a lot of jokes in fandom.

Quotes

  • So the pixel art's moved over, we've built, like, some fancy details around it, we've got a cool woo-hoo up at the top there, and some danglies. (Etho s7 e18)

  • Whose hole is more magnificent, mine or Grian's? (Doc s7 e21)
  • We're running out of space in our spaceship here, as ironic as that sounds. (Crash Landing, e3)

    Etho: You don't even have your box yet, you can't fool me!
    Grian: Tee-hee-hee! (Etho s7 e37)

  • Etho to Tango: Ok, Mr. Game Mechanic Boy. (Etho 9-15)

Bdubs

Some notes are by single-malt-scotch.

His speech has changed a lot since over the years, so I will mark when a note relates to a specific time.

Frequent words

  • Watch this tutorial/genius
  • Ahhh yes! (very throaty deep sound)
  • I'm perfect!/Aaaand perfect!
  • Stupid (as a noun, usually reserved for animals and objects, sometimes used affectionately)
  • I was just testing you/And this is how you don't do it (after he did something wrong)
  • I shreep!/Gotta shreep!/Right after I take this nap!
  • Bdubs always says...
  • There she blows! (about his builds)
  • (Something) job (e.g., build job, redstone job)
  • It was me the whole time!
  • Boy (e.g., "yeah boy!", moreso Mindcrack to Hermitcraft Season 5: "Don't test me, boy!", "I'll show ya, boy!")
  • Wonderful/Perfect/Very fine
  • Gottem!
  • Ouch!
  • Oh, you think you're so funny!
  • Very freaking funny!
  • Shut it/Shut up!
  • Blast!/Blazes! (More frequently in Mindcrack)
  • Dangit!
  • Oh shoot!
  • Kablamo!
  • And sure enough
  • With ease (e.g. "I did that with ease!)
  • Goodness gravy!/Judas priest!/Goodness sakes!/Oh jeez!/Holy Moses!
  • Cutie pie/Sweetheart/Babycakes/Angel (Mindcrack)
  • Sweet angel (used when speaking about someone, but rarely to their face. E.g. "That Tango, such a sweet angel!")
  • Baby/brother (used to call someone, but most often as part of the sentence, e.g. "see ya, brother!", "see ya, baby!")
  • Baby (Rarely calls people this nowadays)
  • Gorgeous/Gorgy (gor-gee; it's basically just gorgeous for short.)
  • I'm trying my heart out/off! (this means "I'm trying my best")
  • Prowess
  • I love ya to death/I love you all to death (his outro)

Speech habits

  • Doesn't say the "g" in words ending with "ing" sometimes.
  • Thicker accent in exaggerated or emotional moments.
  • Stutters a lot. Starts a sentence, then changes how he wants to say it.
  • Makes funny sounds and voices.
  • In Mindcrack, Bdubs rarely swore and he would apologize if he said something that was even vaguely rude. He would repeat if somebody else said a swear word, but wouldn't say them himself.
    Noted words: bullshit, bitch, ass, badass
  • Clings onto bits and inside jokes a lot
  • He speaks very dramatically sometimes: "Hark, the herald angels sing!", "With a passion of a thousand suns", "I hate them with a fervor. With a fervorous passion" (note that this is not frequent and used in exaggeration)
  • At the same time, he likes to shorten words in a silly way, or mispronounce them on purpose. (e.g. Hoimycraf)
  • Simplifies sentences (e.g.: "I make tree", "Etho joined game!")
  • Calls Grian "G" sometimes.
  • Sometimes he fumbles his words and just. Doesn't unfumble - clip 1, clip 2, clip 3.
  • During his "Redstone with Bdubs" segments, sometimes jokingly "claims" common redstone circuits, saying "my patented Mumbo Jumbo T-flip-flop" or "Etho hopper clock".
  • Lately got into a habit of repeating people. When doing this, frequently puts "yes" at the end (e.g. Etho: Am I allowed to answer? Bdubs: you are allowed to answer, yes.)

Texting quirks

  • Types in all lower-case, sometimes capitalizes names, doesn't capitalize I and skips apostrophes.
  • Emojis are used very rarely.
  • Sometimes types in all caps, and with a lot of exclamation or question marks to show emotion.
  • In books, has signed off with:
    • XOXO
    • luv, bdubs
    • hugs and kisses
  • Rarely uses apostrophes or commas
  • (In Mindcrack) typed slowly, made plenty of mistakes and typos. He would use more abbreviations than now (brb, np, bbl, lol) and shorten words (going to - gunna, little - lil). He would also not put spaces after "..."

Characterization bits

  • He pretends to hate being called short, but he will purposefully set up the joke and orchestrate situations for other to make the joke.
  • Bdubs's love language is making others laugh. He can make anything into a joke, and he frequently laughs and jokes at himself. His humor changes when speaking to different people.
    • With Etho it's often a competition of who can make fun of the other better, and a lot of references.
    • With Cleo, a lot of it will be sarcasm, either showering each other in love or insults, no in-between.
    • With Scar, they feed on each other's silliness and cluelessness, leading them to often get into trouble.
    • Both he and Ren make fun at themselves and turn their failures into jokes. They enable each other's inner theater kid.
  • He decides between praising someone and arguing with them based on what he thinks it's funnier in the moment, what will get the other person to laugh. Despite acting very hot-headed on the surface, he rarely gets into arguements with others. More often, he agrees with nearly everything someone says.
  • I don't know how else to describe it, but: he's very passive. Even when initiating bits, events or storylines, he lets others take the stage. He picks a person to follow and follows them until the end (Scar in season 7, Ren in season 9, Cleo in 3rd life, Impulse in Double Life, Etho in general)
  • His loyalty is unwavering, but at the same time, he's considered a "wild card" by some. This is because he's either loyal to everybody, or nobody knows who his loyalty really lies with (a good example of the former is Limited Life, and of the latter - Secret Life).
    • His loyalty transcends universes. Long after the Mayoral Elections and Mycelium Resistance in season 7, Bdubs is instantly at Scar's feet the moment he changes into his mayor skin at the season 9 charity event. He unconditionally trusts Etho and Cleo in every new Life season, even if they aren't allies that season.
  • Both his super confident prideful persona and his subservient persona are just personas, exaggerations, performance.
  • Bdubs is a very social person, he reads people well and he adjusts his own behavior based on the situation and who he's talking to, he trains this skill and he prides himself on his ability to trick people (seen in how much he's being mischaracterized in fandom, and when he lies in Among Us)
  • Bdubs has a pretty low self-esteem, and although it has gotten better over the years, it is evident when you go back and watch his videos from 8-12 years ago. He used to be very critical of himself and make self-deprecating jokes, put other people on a pedestal, while bringing himself down. He adopted the boasting, hyper-confident persona to hide this side of himself and to be more entertaining for his viewers (this persona has become more exaggerated over the years)
  • He is still pretty hard on himself, but it manifests more in him being hard working. Whenever there is a field he wants to be better at (such as art, editing, building, acting), he goes all in on the studying. He's constantly working to better himself and his craft, and try new things. He uses different editing techniques in every season of Hermitcraft, and you can see how, each season, the videos feel more and more like a movie.

Quotes

  • Even perfect people make mistakes sometimes. Just like me! (Bdubs s7 e28)

  • It's insanity, and I'm perfect at it! (Bdubs s7 e34)
  • It's cool to be uneducated (Bdubs s7 e54)

  • Bdubs to Scar: This fairytale economy that you have in your head, it blows my mind. (Bdubs "Decked Out Until I Drop" livestream)
  • I just moved the animals to the backyard. They're back there somewhere, enjoying a nice place- Trust me, it's not torture. It's just a fenced-in area. (sighs) Sad. Do-Don't be sad, though. You're sad, I'm fine! I'm happy! I'm happy i lost! I-we-- Losing makes me so happy! We don't need that sign anymore, because we didn't win, so we can't give a prize to anybody, and people were really count'n' on me, and you guys were really count'n' on me, and i let ya down! Here's around the backyard, just down this pit down here. The animals are down by the lava over there, that's where i placed 'em, just so you know, for reference. Even my bee's leavin' me!

    Gem: Uh, w-- I wouldn't word it like that, I--

Characterization bits

  • Absolutely goes in on the bits and doesn't let go of them.

  • Although it doesn't always seem like it, he's very responsible and can be extremely reasonable. It's all fun and games to him untill there's a serious matter that needs to be sorted out. The leadership in groups often naturally goes to him, and he seems to be comfortable with it
  • He's stubborn. He's sooo stubborn.

  • Sometimes enjoys being overly-dramatic
  • He's smart and very sly. Mind-games seem to be his favorite kind of games. Good liar, although lying makes him nervous.

  • I don't know how to describe it, but he's literally a cat.
  • When he lies or pretends, his voice gets that tiny bit quiter or lower, he tries to act as casually as possible, and pretends he doesn't understand what you're talking about.

Characterization bits

  • Very expressive and emotional.
  • He tends to be quite careless and pay little attention to his surroundings, causing him to frequently die and lose his stuff (tho this is also because he is generally pretty clumsy). He's also easy to jumpscare.
  • Pretends to be more clueless than he actually is. Usually it's mostly for comedic effect, but in more serious settings (such as the Life Series), he uses it to his advantage, hiding his cunning side under the silly exterior. (Be careful not to overindulge in either of these sides of him; they are both equal, balanced parts of his character.)
  • Generaly not very good at describing what he means, may use silly metaphors to get his point across.
  • He lies. He just straight up lies sometimes for no other reason other than it's funny.
  • Sometimes it's the kind of lie where you don't reveal the necessary context. So he'll say "I'll destroy the mountain" but doesn't mention which mountain.
  • Scar is so strong. His will is just unbreakable.
  • Is always seeking approval of people he respects (Grian, Etho, Impulse)
  • Has the strongest opinions and convictions on the silliest of things
