Your gateway to endless inspiration
It's probably been another month since last post, so I'm right on time!
I have become insanely hyperfixated on Minecraft and that hyperixation has led me to the man in the drawing, Mr Joel Smallishbeans.
Getting to the actually drawing, this is my first drawing of the design of Joel for Hermitcraft season 10! I did a doodle of him in his outfit and one of his outfit I designed. I might end up putting more drawing of my outfit/costume design because I quite enjoy doing that!
(and if u see resemblance to @mellozheist 's Joel design, that is because I copied the hair and the idea of him being a Tanuki hybrid from them. If they don't like it I'll take this post down and make him bald. 👍)
With only two cases of Tall Claims Court so far in Hermitcraft Season 10, the ore snatcher or ore snatchers has been narrowed down to potential subjects between thirteen (excluding Doc) out of the 25 current hermits in Hermitcraft. We were revealed that under the oath, Cub has "strong reason to believe that the ore snatcher is in this room right now." From this statement we can narrow down the suspect or suspect(s) to Bdubs, False, Cleo, Ren, Joehills, Cub, Joel, xB, Beef, Keralis, Jevin, Mumbo and Scar.
Back in August, multiple clues were given by the supposed original Ore-Snatcher revealling that there were multiple ore-snatchers impostering to possibley enrage Doc once more. These clues being:
I return from holidays and find imposters $
Sorry GOAT... We put them back. Thank you for the fun!
Laters GOAT. I have new targets now $
All put on seperate warped wooden signs with the only distinguishable facts being their return from a break or vacation and the signiture use of "$" as the Glitcher. This results in leading theories from the community of Hermitcraft and Doc himself suspecting Cub who until December, declared himself not "the Ore-snatcher".
So this leads to now where until four days ago a new subreddit post was posted on the Hermitcraft Subreddit where majority of the commentators either speculated it was Cub, a collab between multiple hermits or a title passed between hermits either intentionally or not.
This stacks up with Cub's answer towards him answering "Are you the Ore-snatcher" referring to the singular ore-snatcher that Doc assumes is the only with the word "the" with context referring to a singular person. This can be easily denied under the oath if the Ore Snatcher was a title stated by one person.

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.
So this weekly theory stems from ZombieCleo's innate skill to tinker and alter armor stands to produce masterpieces demonstrating her artistic capabilities. Throughout the season, they have also began to teach and pass the knowledge of armour stands to other hermits (Mumbo) who have also produced displays. Livening the articulate environments and infrastructure with captured stillness.
But from a lore perspective, where did their technical skills and expertise originate from? Over multiple seasons, Cleo has used and changed from multiple skins with a core theme existing between each outer layer. Her zombine origins.
Her vicious behaviour shown during the Life Series can be linked to her ability to manipulate corporses strewn to be strung and tightened into positions captivating the lively energy in the lifeless. Even with her zombie abilities, has the ability to morph and swap her skins to atttribute to crafting these armour stands.
From Cleo's zombie origins, their skill to produce and alter armour to her has helped her form gorgeous and expressive displays of art throughout multiple seasons.

Sorry for the late entry, I'm trying to get back into the flow of writing these weekly theories again after the two week break.
So the ore snatcher has struck again in Doc's latest Hermitcraft episode (24) during his vacation in France revealing the peace treaty and return of the stolen deepslate diamond ores were a hoax implanted by an impersonating hermit as a way to coax Doc from flooding the whole world of Hermitcraft Season 10.
So this concludes that JoeHill wasn't the intitial or prime as the "true" ore snatcher but a acquaintance or assistant to the original ore snatcher. Leaving three signs as final goodbye message to Doc after returing the stole deepslate ore thanking him for the fun from the conducted shenanigans.
So the signs were crafted from warped wood stating :
I return from holidays and find imposters $
Sorry GOAT... We put them back. Thank you for the fun!
Laters GOAT. I have new targets now $
So with this new revelation of information there's still two main question unanswered that are, who is/are the ore snatcher and who are they aiming for next?
From the evidence gathered, in Sign 2 it used the pronoun of "we" compared to the other adjecent signs using "I" so this would suggest that the ore snatcher is an overmind of sorts. Controlling and manipulating others as a leader. With the previous peace treaty, that would mean as a futile, last ditch effort to halt Doc's efforts to flood the server was an impulsive move made by one of the employers without the Ore snatcher's permission. Effectively JoeHills could've been one of the minions commissioned or ordered to act as a punching bag to Doc's wrath.
So who is the leader or the Ore snatcher? Leaeding speculations and Doc conclude that Cub may be the man behind the escapades due to his nature of being the Jingler. But previous signs placed in the stall have also being signed by $, concluding that the leader would have been the face of the Ore Snatchers and the others as backups or assistants. Another leading clue is in Sign 1, "I return from holidays" but I have no clue who have returned from their break besides Doc. So that question still remains a mystery.
Another inquiry would be who would be the next target(s) for the Ore Snatchers? The use of plurals could mean these series of events would be already preplanned or loosely planned like guidelines in a story. But who knows. Maybe the next big technical redstone project would be the next target of the Ore Snatchers.
Xisuma : You see the other day all of our turtles in the the turtle moshpit mysteriously disappeared somehow
Xisuma : It is very tragic but I have found a new home for armadilos over here
*Proceeds to display the armodilos in the turtle moshpit
Xisuma I thought turtles was your brethern why did you have to slaughter them.

So this theory is about the snails and what their plans after their laundering escapades at Big Ron. So far, the snails have taken over and vandalized Gem's lighthouse, and began tormenting Scar for multiple weeks, modifying his train, excavating his ore mountain and making a success laundering business and finally moved onto enveloping Tango's airship and claiming it as theirs.
Through their displayed prowess the snails have demonstrated multiple times that they can indefinately change volume, multiply and merge themselves, secrete corrosive substances and overtake and control innaminate objects.
And currently they have taken over Tango's steam punk airship for unknown intensions. Establishing their claim by sprouting long, tendrilous stalks for eyes on the front of the airship so what are they planning with this new development of power?
Previously the snails have stolen deepslate diamonds from Scar's ore mountain and constructed a successful laundering business with a net profit so with Tango's copper farm inside, could they steal the copper and sell the crafted copper items for more, sure. If it was a previous update when the crafting materials for copper items were overpriced.
But another potential reason is spreading the ownership of the snails. Stated before, snails have the capability of multiplying and with the introduction of Gem's snail it's possible for other snails to rain down from heavens and be claimed by another hermit. With the airship aimed at Magic Mountain, (where the most amount of hermits are based at) it's a high possibility where the snails could spread their influence to the Magic Mountain Crew and eventually take over the server through the Shopping District.
It was clear before that the (assistant) Permit Manager didn't mind the snail's business as one of them contributed to the success of them so, with the backup of the Assistant Permit Manager, the snails could infiltrate the hermits and finally dominate the server with the dozens of snails backed by their sides.
BRO GUYS I JUST WATCHED DOC's NEW EPISODE and it seems like this theory is standing up. Framing Scar seems like Joel. Joel putting the sign claiming it wasn't him seems like Joel. Etho tinkering with the alarm seems like Etho. IT'S THE BOAT BOYS
So before Doc or the other hermits reveal who the ore snatcher was, I want to explain my theory that Etho and Joel or the Boatboys were the real culprits when stealing Doc's deepslate diamond ore.
My reasoning is that Etho being the technical or redstone genius he is, just wants to have some fun poking the goat as he's rarely seen online or posts anymore. And why Joel is also included, is his ability to imitate or emulate the styles and characteristics of other hermits. Take example of him posing as Etho when creating the simplistic statues of different hermits and keeping that facade for a few weeks.
So with this duo, it's possible for both of them to be capable of being the ore snatcher. With Etho's technical genius of swapping the ore with empty deepslate WITHOUT breaking the machinery and Joel's imitative techniques by framing hermits such as Scar as the ore stealer.
But there are some holes or intricacies in this theory that contradict what is considered to be cannon information in Hermitcraft. Some of these being that Etho would be careful or downright avoiding intricate redstone technology and he's being spending less time on Hermitcraft, and that the sneaky or stealthy style of the oresnatcher doesn't match Joel's style of messing with other hermits.
But it's still a theory.
