Merry Christmas to you all, and happy holidays if you don't celebrate! Hope that you're all doing well, both mentally and physically :D With that, sit back, relax, grab a snack, and dive into this week's recap!

*clears throat*

Starting off with the follower milestones, we have SharkBait_13_23 with the 80, QueenChaos48 with the 90, King_Goose with the 160, FandomsUnite05 with the 250, and scuffed_dodger with the 860! Congrats, y'all!

Along with those, Aster__  hit 3k reads on their amazing oneshot book, bamalexis22 hit 50k reads on their equally amazing oneshot book, and fissykitty45 hit 4k reads on their Civil War book. Qgears' book Aftershock has also been ranked 6th in the Hermitcraft tag. Congratulations!

All of our writers have been feeling festive with their works, so it's no surprise that many of them would be Christmas-centered. (if you don't celebrate its 100% valid and we love you all the same <3 )

*throws snow all over the recap*

Starrdust2020  has written an amazingly chaotic oneshot involving quite a few hermits, and quite a few destroyed gingerbread houses, which I highly recommend checking out if you want to have a good laugh :D

0the0bees0knees0 has delivered two amazing Christmas drawings, and although they're doodles, they're absolutely astounding nevertheless like have you sEEN HOW GOOD THEY ARE? UNDERRATED ARTIST SPOTTED-

Aside from that, if you like Bdoc, then this one's for you. QueenChaos48 has written a wholesome Christmas fic centered around the two bois in her oneshot book, so go check that out if you want some content to 'awww' at and possibly melt

Speaking of melting, does anyone want some hot chocolate with melted marshmellows? (ɔ◔‿◔)ɔ ☕

Despite all this holiday cheer, _adrilia_  has written some bittersweet angst-to-fluff and if you're looking to have your heart torn out and then handed back to you on a silver platter, this is the place. Good stuff 👍

If you're feeling like the grinch and want even more angst, _mochii112_ has written a heartwrenching songfic around the song "The Book of You and I", centered around NPG, and if any of you want to attempt to read this be ready to use at least an entire box of tissues

But that's just a theory...

A HERMITTPAD THEORY! (do y'all like my transitions? please say yes i will cry)

That's right! HermittpadTheory is an account that theorizes on all things Hermittpad related. Whether that be mystery accounts, riddles, questions you may have, disappearing & reappearing Hermittpadders, and any general Hermittpad roleplay! They're looking for some new theorists, so if you're interested, please check 'em out :)

Onto the more general announcements, WelshKitsune is taking a break for their mental health and will be back sometime around this week :D

_adrilia_ has also opened a dtyis (draw this in your style) in celebration of 100 followers on their instagram, if any of you want to participate make sure to check out their art book!

A PSA to all you shippers out there, Impulse has stated that "it's best to avoid that" (clickable link to proof will be in the comments of this) so if you do have works with impulse being shipped romantically, please either take them down or re-write them to be platonic :) We don't want to overstep any boundaries here

Do y'all remember the Hermittys? (If not, read recap #29) If you do, then I'm pleased to announce that the voting period is now open! Y'all better be quick though, as voting closes on the 31st :)

Unfortunately, that's all we have for this week's recap. Remember to stay safe and wear your masks, and we hope you guys have had an amazing December, no matter what holiday(s) you guys celebrate.

It's almost the end of the year, and what a year it's been! There's been many terrible things that have happened, but hopefully something good has come out of this year for you guys. Let's all wish that 2021 will be a lot better than this year has been, for everyone :)

And with that note, take care, and we'll see you guys next year. Bye!
