Hermit skins twitter requests!
So new week, new theory about Doc's new poker game and the hermits decided to be used as the monarchs and joker for each type of deck. Innovated from the French-suited playing cards, Doc's poker deck has four suits, diamonds, hearts, clubs and spades, and each suiting having three court cards, King, Queen and Jack. This results in only twelve available spaces considering one hermit takes one court card each and leaves fifteen hermits unable to be represented by the cards. Nethertheless even with the limited representation of the hermits, each cards has its depth and lore.
Starting with the suit of diamond, has Doc representing its King, Gem representing its Queen and Scar representing its Jack. As diamonds is represented as a valuable material considering its bartering and trading value in Hermitcraft, being the main currency for shops, it's reasonable that Doc would be the face of Kings of Diamonds. Gem's reasoning is also obvious due to her talent considering both PVP and her building skills. Finally Scar, being the Jack of Diamonds is poetic due to his bartering (scamming) skills built from his charisma to trade for "diamond" tiered items with common items.
The court of Hearts is a different story considering its representatives are Rendog for the King, Falsesymmetry for the Queen and Bdubs as its Jack. With the symbol of Hearts often depicted as red and hearts in general epitomising the living flesh of a person, Ren as the King is perfect. As RentheKing in Hermitcraft Season Nine and the Red King back in Third Life, Ren deserves the position of King of Hearts. Second to the King of Hearts, is Falsesymmetry, the winner of Season's 10 demise. With hearts also depicting the life and soul of a person, it's also fitting for the winner to recieve the mantle of Queen of Hearts. The final court of Jacks is Bdubs, who in Season Nine of Hermitcraft was the assistant or right-hand man to RentheKing. Resulting in his title of the rank below the King, Jacks of Hearts.
With the court of Spades, majority of its court was already explained by Doc in his previous Hermitcraft 10 episode, (29) with the Jack of Spades being Mumbo, a spoon, Etho being definitively cool and the suit of Spades being objectively cool (in Doc's perspective), and Pearl fitting the role of Queen of Spades. But the reasonings run deeper than this besides Mumbo's spoon reasoning. Take Pearl, the Queen of Spades. Back in Season Nine, she was the Cleaning Lady, taking on jobs of cleaning chestmonsters and other messes with a price. Spades is often linked with the concept of cleaning so it was natural to pick Pearl. The final court card, Kings of Spades, is given to Etho and rightfully so because of his connections to Shade-E-E. Originally Shade-E-E was a "subscription service" and later evolved to a "gardening service" which entailed him using dirt and other blocks to create pixel artworks for the other hermits in saeson seven. And what else is connected to dirt, spades, hence the King of Spades being Ethoslab.
The final suit, Clubs, consist of King of Clubs being Xisumavoid, Queen of Clubs being ZombieCleo and Jack of Clubs being Grian. Although the listed hermits' connections to the suit of Clubs may be vague, there is a connection hidden between the layers of history the deck of cards retains. With majority depictions of a deck of cards using French-suited playing cards, other versions of the standard 52-card deck is found throughout multiple continents with German depications of the Club being an acorn. Acorns also being a symbol of strength and resilience, a trait Xisuma has constantly demonstrated throughout the decade Hermitcraft has been running. Cleo's connections of the suit of Clubs includes her role as an enforcing monarchy, the Queen, with a royal baton otherwise known as a sceptre being a symbol of royalty. Finally, Grian's relation to the Club are the multiple depictions of the suit of Clubs being of a plant. Plants and weeds like the clover and acorns are all edible to a range of bird species, both domestic and wild and with the fandom's collective decision to represent Grian has a human with avian features, it's his connections to birds that create his relationship with the Jack of Clubs.
These twelve court cards all with their representative hermits all have depth and lore leading their portrayal as the monarchs and Jacks of each suit.

So this theory is finally here and I hope it made up for the multiple weeks without theories. Still have to cope with exams but soon I will be free from these shackles.
doomed siblings
cub hatched from a turtle egg and both cleo and false don't need any more cubfans around
My superpower is being able to connect any of my interests together
thinking about the hermitcraft multiverse again
thinking about the fact that only some of the hermits seem to be the same characters from previous seasons, while others seem to be completely new ones
thinking about false arriving in season 9 ready to meet up with gem again after leaving her behind, only to discover that this gem doesn’t seem to remember the moon crashing
thinking about pearl and etho casually making jokes about decked out 2, while tango sits there absolutely baffled trying to figure out what the heck they’re talking about
thinking about cub meeting up with scar each season to find out what scar he’s dealing with this time, and just how different he is from the last one
thinking about joe hills forgetting that they’re talking to a new cleo, and leaving her constantly confused after conversations, cause they can almost remember what he’s referencing, and yet she doesn’t
thinking about the hermit multiverse again, and how only some of them remember the past seasons, and how they take that
hermit portraits: false
Hermit of the day: False.
It's all the hermits I haven't drawn before in a row this week (and etho). I do like how she turned out and the camera didn't pick up on it very well but the colouring pencil learning is going good. :)
My tumblr is getting completely swamped by minecraft rn, like it was bad before but now only like 1 out of 20 posts is non hermitcraft related. Not non minecraft mind you, non hermitcraft. I mean, not that I'm complaining though, this is a good thing.
marble carving
the universe did not want me to finish this one. right after exams ended i got hit with sickness
This is a tiny bit late, but here are all of my drawings for Hermit a Day May!
I apologize if the pictures are bad quality
Also. you can probably tell who my favorite Hermit is, considering I drew her 3 times lol
I had a lot of fun doing this! It was a great challenge to draw all of the Hermits. These are all going up on my bedroom wall now! :D
finally stopped fiddling with this
the idea was big T vs small t narrative as seen through the eyes of small t i suppose. i might also draw a big T POV counterpart where they're a super sentai team fighting monsters or smth
(edit: added closeups b/c i took a look and died inside at how small everyone is)
Queen of hearts, heads and body parts.
I'm severely sleep deprived, lol.
