Theories and Headcannons Pt. 17
So this thoery is that the mycelium from Hermitcraft Season 7 is the skulk that infects Cub in the Hermits and Empires crossover.
So skulk. It spreads. It infects people, enviornments and objects. Ever since its release from the deep dark two years ago it has dispersed itself into every world and uncharted realm, and proliferated into the minds of the curious and wandering. Similar to corrosive fungi or mould. And so is mycelium. A type of fungal threads that also acts in a similar manner to skulk but more passively. And so that's why mycelium might be the ancestor to skulk. Take Hermitcraft Season 7, the Mycelium War. The mycelium began to spread when the core block was surrounded by grass. Slowly corrupting the green surface which enraged the Mayor to create HEP as an attempt to uproot the infectious fungi but, resulting in the Mycelium Resistance to counterattack HEP's efforts. Resulting in the Mycelium War that ended in a minigame with the Mycelium Resistance reigning victorious.
But it was left to rot and wither after the season's end. Finding it's way into the damp, dark caves where it evolved into this monstrous fungi that feasted upon the deaths of organisms to spread and conquer back to the light of the surface. Thats's when a certain branch of sculk crept its way to the foggy surface of the mangrove. Crawling its inky veins to infect the surrounding enviornment. Secluded by the misty fog where it was able to broad and multiply until a curious scientist, exploring the uncharted mangrove stumbled upon the cluster of sculk. Entranced by the promises of knowledge and power, the sculk was able to spread. Fulfilling its dream of reaching the sunlight once again with the help of the human vessel. Until a witch with magical capabilities subdued the corruption fungi and it was banished back into the caverns. Never returning to see it so desperately wanted, the light of day.
Hermitcraft headcannon!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Physical touch!
I headcannon all of Hermitcraft as being SUPER touchy. Like- it is super normalized and cozy.
Grian and Mumbo walking so close their arms brush, sitting so their knees and shoulders bump together, Grians wing practically hugging Mumbo's back.
Tango excitedly grabbing Zed and Impulse's hands to guide them through a build, ZIT having movie nights and cuddling under the blankets.
Etho linking elbows with Bdubs while walking, Bdubs practically hanging off of him while he explains the details of the build. Falling asleep on eachother's shoulders.
Keralis greeting Hermits with a kiss on the cheek or forehead, Wels greeting with a kiss on their knuckles.
Ren nudging his head into any open hands willing to pet him, Doc and Zed bumping heads (gently) with their friends to show affection.
Any horned Hermits headbutting eachother <3
Scar looping an arm around Cub's neck with a cheesy joke, dragging him down into a hug or noogie. Cub batting his hands away and trying to go in for an attack of his own.
Cleo biting Joe out of spite and affection, Joe smacking her with books. Them braiding flowers in eachother's hair, painting eachother's nails.
NHO creating cuddle piles and drowning in blankets, caring for eachother while sick (and totally not all getting sick)
Xisuma not really being able to touch- but still hugging and patting people on the back. Giving people tea and throwing a blanket over them in replacement.
If you headcannon them with a longer tail then they loop it around eachothers arms or legs to stay close.
Hugs are an appropriate greeting, and a thank you, and farewell.
