I love how everyone tackled this scenario differently! Pearl ended up in her season one outfit, Empires False is on an adventure... and Gem is a LARPer who doesn't want one of her friend groups to realize she goes to Renaissance Fairs with her other friends group on the weekends.
I just love that she is apparently self aware enough to realize that she is playing on Minecraft in different worlds but is somehow also amazed that they found a bridge between two worlds.
False- ran so far, he traveled to a new universe bc of social anxiety Gem- every time she changes her clothes, she goes to the hermit craft server and back is basically, what you're saying
I have a theory about that actually! (You don’t have to read if you don’t want to waste time on my weirdness 😅) but since hermitcraft and empires is connected, and Gem is in both of them, maybe she’s obsessed with sleeping before sunset because during the night she travels to hermitcraft, where it’s day time because multiverse time zones. I don’t watch hermitcraft so this might not match up well, but I think that its something fun to think about!
At least in this case he has a week more to handle this headache here, since it came out today and the recaps new video cut off day is friday so they can get the recap out on sundays.
@Kevin Lin RecapRolled, I like it, is that what we're calling what they did to him? Honestly though, I am CLUELESS about why Grian was so hopping-excited to RecapRoll Pixelriffs, can somebody explain it to me? All I can intuit is that him and Pix have history but I dont know what.
I like to think that C!Gem is an expert costume designer and makes all of her skins from scratch. In all of her bedrooms, there is a magic closet that’s full of all of the outfits she’s worn over the years and every morning, she picks which costume to wear that day. There’s also two boxes in the closet full of old costumes, one is marked “MCC” and the other is marked “Afterlife."
That reminds me of a children's series I watched, where kids would dress up and end up in the world they dressed up for. I loved that show and the concept, so big fan of this Theory ^^
@@DragonfireStudios I know it as "Zoes Zauberschrank" so I guess Zoes magical wardrobe or something along those lines. I'm German so I don't even know if that show was outside of European tv... Edit: looked it up, it is named Chloe's closet in English ;)

Seeing how the myct multiverse technically has alternate Universe versions of everyone (all of rats smp/Scott being everywhere) this could mean that there’s an actual empires!gem but this gem took her place somehow
I like to think that Princess Gem does her dimension-hopping via dreams; that’s part of why she’s so careful to sleep through the nights. That’s when she’s in Hermitcraft!
Has Gem created a church specifically to entice Ren and Bdubs to join it? 🤔 Sunglasses? Must sleep at night? I'm not sure I can think of anyone more appropriate
It could be possible, but if you think about it, Gem is a princess of the sun and the day, she obviously doesn't like the night. Maybe her character could have more power during the day. As for the glasses, it could be to protect the eyes of all the people enduring the sun.
i kind of like how each person is reacting differently to seeing familiar faces. it reflects each persons storytelling and the way they view their character! for some people, their minecraft guy is their consistent character across worlds. for other people, their minecraft guy is Them, putting on different outfits. and still others view their minecraft guy as a blank canvas to make a wildly different character each time. it effects the stories they tell and the way the audience is supposed to interact with the story. It's extra interesting when someone thinks they recognize someone from their world, but the other doesnt recognize them at all because they have different ideas of where their character begins and ends!!! i can appreciate ur honesty about what kinda story you want to tell and how you want to go about it!! i for one love uninterrupted roleplay that rarely breaks the fourth wall, but i would never ask someone to do that if thats not their style LOL. it only works if youre excited to do that! i love hearing your perspective on princess gem, it sort of reminds me of ttrpg actual play podcasts, where a lot of meta talk is happening in the midst of roleplay, so you end up with a really holistic view of the character! anyway lovely episode. i wonder if bdubs would be happy to hear about the church of dawn LOL

I just realized that was more than her personality! That's cool.
I love the church roof gradient. It just looks so nice and colorful. The sunglasses are a nice touch as well, though you might be heading a bit closer to Sun cult than church with the rules. Impulse needs a bear in Hermitcraft, whenever he returns to the HC server he needs to take one with him. Great episode and I'm loving the crossover event.
That gradient has to be one of the prettiest gradient i've seen ever, i love it so much! It's interesting that empires gem is just hermit gem and she's just trying to act normal in front of the hermits! I wonder if any of the hermit is going to be a citizen of dawn 👀
I feel like Apollo needs a house or something for when he’s chilling, he’s always standing outside guarding the sheep through sunny days to stormy ones
Being horrified by your friends discovering your LARP hobby is so relatable. If I stepped through a portal with my friends and emerged on the other side in my gear and medieval world I don't think I would ever stop running
I loved your meta explanation in the end, reminded me a lot of playing DND with my friends, how we sometimes goof and break the fourth wall and sometimes we're seriously in character. Specially at the end of a season just talking about what just happen, what we want to do moving forward, etc...
i thought gem was going to have a mini portal she uses to get between the hermitcraft world and the empires world. either way you handle this crossover, you will do great
I love the way you share a little of the behind the scenes decision making that goes on around your different characters for empires v hermitcraft, and empires last season too! Its interesting to see how what we as audience see on screen comes to be
I absolutely adore the idea of Gem not quite living double live, but rather just making her actual "princess lore" being literaly a "princess lore" for character she enjoys RP'ing as with her group of friends. I've been into larping during my uni years, and feeling embarrassed and secretive about it was somewhat a charm of it. Playing a make-believe with other like minded people who didn't judge was in essence an escape from boredom and stress of my "regular" life. And since it was an escape to another world, I didn't want those two worlds to collide as much as possible. "Yeah, no, sorry, I have a... thing... on saturdays" was awkward but also it was somehow fun. A guilty pleasure to an extent I guess. I was never "found out" in a character by the "outsiders", but I did have a hard time explaining to my parents that my vampire get up wasn't a cult or a fetish thing.
Worlds colliding is always awkward, but you're handling it with royal grace! And I love the idea of your princess character discovering her true self. Very much looking forward to how this unfolds!
Your colour gradients are a complete joy! I'm inspired to work more creatively with block palette combinations when I watch you and Sausage build. Loving the Empires/Hermitcraft crossover. Don't worry about the meta. After all, that's what Pixlriffs is doing too. Nothing wrong with meta. We enjoy you be you, with everything you bring to Minecraft. Can't wait to see the fun you all have together.
dude i love the idea that there is only one Gem. it makes my lore brain buzz. the idea that there are multiple other people who have multiple characters but there is only one gem and she just hops worlds gives me seratonin
OH. MY. PEARL. THIS LORE OVER THE MULTIVERSE. WOAH. SO TO GET THIS STRAIGHT: Gem is a rift traveler that travels to Hermitcraft, Empires, and etc.. So this means she ALREADY KNEW HOW TO TRAVEL THROUGH THE RIFT BUT NEVER TOLD ANYONE SO SHE COULD PRETEND TO BE DIFFERENT PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT WORLDS. Lore.
I’m really enjoying seeing how different Hermits are reacting and trying to work out how each of the Empire people stay in character. Gem, maybe just explain away the difference as having found an earlier rift between the worlds. Any elaborately plots will feel contrived.
I love your take on being a world hopper! I'm loving how everyone has their own ways of explaining how this is working (also, i'm having horrible flashbacks to jeremyism. lets hope this doesn't go the same way lol)
I love your intro. It has a feel for a fun novel which shows your aware of multiple universes you take part in. I've been thinking of 1 or 2 characters that shift between/through universes/worlds. Also it's cool that Pixel is here too because I see him as someone who can see into other worlds on occasion. Maybe he has a viewing window that opens every weekend.
I KNOW LIKE WOW! She would know that Saint Pearl is just one of them but did not get reincarnated like everyone else AND THAT’S SO FREAKY! SHE COULD SO EASILY BREAK THE MINDS OF EVERYONE ON THE SERVER, IT’S NOT EVEN FUNNY!
I just have to say, now that the princess of Dawn is starting the church of the Sun One phrase will likely become prevalent on Empires episodes... and praise the Sun it fits.
Terraforming is one of my favorite things to do in Minecraft. It’s also what I’m best at. I can make excellent hills and caves, but I don’t do nearly as well when making houses. I recently made a ginormous geode on one of my private creative worlds. Nice to see another person who enjoys terraforming as much as me!
i wonder how her empires 1 character fits in the lore… after watching her in the other videos that were released earlier, i thought that she would be going the chavez-like character in the minecraft multiverse.
I was very curious how the lore would work with False and Gem since they are in both worlds. I must say I love how you’ve done it. 1 is out adventuring while the other knows about the multiverse and is able to dimension hop (sort of reminds me of America Chavez from Marvel) Dawn is looking great now
I like this headcannon! A reality shifter Geminitay who can shift to different reality where she can lives as her regular self, an elf hermit or a born princess of Dawn
Hopefully this crossover lasts through the holidays, doing multiple SMPs has to be very time consuming and a bit stressful. Being able to concentrate on a single set of builds has its benefits as well.
Haha I love the "normal" casual approach Gem takes to the whole crossover. Like, yeah, she's just a normal person who plays make-believe with her friends sometimes. No lore, no angst, she's just very dedicated to her roleplaying hehe
I love the meta explanation, this character really is interesting! I wonder if there's going to be any conflict between princesses, since Katherine needs night time to do her secret monster hunting job...
The different ways of handling two SMPs--one lore-ish and the other more casual--has been fun to see. Especially Pearl, and Sausage freaking out upon seeing her.
I really like the lore that Gem is able to live different lives in different worlds in a way, and some realize this (Hermitcraft) while some people don't (Empires) This is awesome to see two of my favourite SMPs colliding for a bit! Awesome video! :D
i really liked the way you handled the lore, basically gem is someone who can shift between different realities and live multiple lives at once which is so cool :D
I have a lore idea!!! What if Princess Gem became an evil Queen? Perhaps she has become altered by the Rift or something, because she has been jumping between the worlds too often. I think this would be an amazing plot twist because as you stated in the video, Princess Gem is a fun loving and cheerful person who doesn't want too much power and she is just happy being a Princess, but as she hops between worlds, her personality could slowly be altered every-time she changes worlds. And maybe, The Watchers are controlling her, from the Evo series in 2017. Perhaps the Hermits and Empires players have to work together to save Princess Gem and defeat the watchers once and for all. But maybe the players who used to be on the Evo server keep having flash backs to their times on the Evo server, and then remember the Listeners. Maybe the only people or things who know how to defeat the Watchers are the Listeners, and they have to try to contact the Listeners to find the way to defeat the Watchers. I hope this is some good inspiration for you Gem, and I also wanted to say how much I love your videos. You are an amazing creator and I am so happy to be apart of the Gemintay community.
I love this idea!!! And Kathrine could become her evil follower. Maybe the reason why Kathrine's kingdom is corrupted is because the watchers have cursed her, knowing they would at some point corrupt her friend Gem, causing Kathrine to want to become her follower, as they have already formed a strong friendship. When they defeat the watchers, the corruption in her empire disappears, although some scars still show the past of her kingdom, but Kathrine decides embraces them.
0:51 WAIT WAIT WAIT... Did she just confirm what I have been saying for months????? That HC Gem and Empires Gem are the same person and she can easily hop between worlds!!!!!!! My head is going to explode with all the Lore going on. 6:33 *Facepalm* She thinks she's so Punny.
I absolutely adore how everyone is like ‘Idk who u are?’ While Gem here being a multi universal traveler/ reality Gem playing a game called Minecraft ;)
This was an awesome entry level video. I was having so much difficulty digesting the other hermits/ empire members videos since it's my first time watching empires SMP. But your video was like a link from the literal to the roleplay, with clear explanations. And not a lot of craziness going on that overwhelms me from the get go. Thank you so much. ^^
for the lore, you could create a very small rift somewhere hidden in your base that your character - who is both a princess and an elf - has been using this whole time to travel between the worlds. but she's choosing to keep the still-working rift a secret, because she doesn't want to be blamed for the chaos the larger rift has caused. this way, if you wanted, you could still be playing on both worlds, and your character has an in-universe explanation as to why she isn't stuck like the rest of the hermits are!
I love how you said that you chose to be a princess. Most, if not all princesses are only able to be a princess because of lineage and blood. It’s nice that you decided to be a princess because you wanted that sense of growth and adventure and I think it’d be lovely if over time you find more and more things that are your “destiny”.
Love it!! I wondered how you would work the lore with 2 worlds since you were "left Behind" Its really neat to see all these Minecraft characters all in the same world! I cant wait to see what you all get into!
Oh my gosh your character is an inter-dimensional LARPer I love that so much, this is absolutely fantastic. Also the gradient on the roof is gorgeous just wooaaaah! :D
That was awesome!! thank you so much for your thoughts on how you're doing things with your characters. I really like the idea of looking at it from a d&d perspective!! I've actually been wanting to start making minecraft videos and become like you and your group of friends, but I was struggling with how I would go about it and what I would need to do. Your thoughts about d&d and looking at it through those glasses (pun intended) really works and I think I may try it that way :) Love your videos, thank you so much :D
Anyone that plays D&D has had that moment where their non-D&D friends find out they play. We then go, "Yeah man it's fun, I'm a princess from a lost / destroyed civilization. We fight monsters and drink lots of beer. Yesterday Greg jumped off a cliff and lived. Monks are OP."
Thanks for watching!! Still working on subtitles for this one, hopefully they will process for tomorrow. Sorry for the delay!
Wow I can reply

-Gem : Has interdimentional awareness powers
-False: Has social anxiety and ran away
so true
How about false?
Oops somehow read 'false' as 'pearl'. Sorry!
Honestly I agree with both of these options 1000%
False- ran so far, he traveled to a new universe bc of social anxiety
Gem- every time she changes her clothes, she goes to the hermit craft server and back
is basically, what you're saying
I love the idea of Gem being a dimension hopper who travels between Hermitcraft and Empires playing whatever role she wishes
and all of her other series!!
Maybe her dimensional hopping is what caused the rift to form? Like she weakened the barrier between their worlds by crossing back and forth so much.
@@Isaacrl67 And maybe with the rift, she can now be either version of herself in either world... until the rift is gone that is
@@Isaacrl67 imagine how much quicker the rift would form if it were pearl hopping dimensions AND gem hopping dimensions

I like how Gem is basically canonically an interdimensional traveler
That gradient has to be one of the prettiest gradient i've seen ever, i love it so much! It's interesting that empires gem is just hermit gem and she's just trying to act normal in front of the hermits! I wonder if any of the hermit is going to be a citizen of dawn 👀
GeminiTay you need an army and villagers to make this beautiful Empire living.
Yeah I agree.
You can just see Geminstead of GeminiTay
With a membership her empire is different?
the bees are right there 😇
I feel like Apollo needs a house or something for when he’s chilling, he’s always standing outside guarding the sheep through sunny days to stormy ones
agreed
Being horrified by your friends discovering your LARP hobby is so relatable. If I stepped through a portal with my friends and emerged on the other side in my gear and medieval world I don't think I would ever stop running
I loved your meta explanation in the end, reminded me a lot of playing DND with my friends, how we sometimes goof and break the fourth wall and sometimes we're seriously in character. Specially at the end of a season just talking about what just happen, what we want to do moving forward, etc...
i thought gem was going to have a mini portal she uses to get between the hermitcraft world and the empires world. either way you handle this crossover, you will do great
Imagine Gem is hiding the portal she uses to cross worlds, meanwhile the hermits are hoping the rift opens back up thinking it's the only way home
@@nickel26 That would be hillarious! It also adds more drama to the "I don't want my friends to find out I'm hopping between worlds" story
I love the way you share a little of the behind the scenes decision making that goes on around your different characters for empires v hermitcraft, and empires last season too! Its interesting to see how what we as audience see on screen comes to be
We better get a hermitcraft episode called Gem alone
YES!
I absolutely adore the idea of Gem not quite living double live, but rather just making her actual "princess lore" being literaly a "princess lore" for character she enjoys RP'ing as with her group of friends. I've been into larping during my uni years, and feeling embarrassed and secretive about it was somewhat a charm of it. Playing a make-believe with other like minded people who didn't judge was in essence an escape from boredom and stress of my "regular" life. And since it was an escape to another world, I didn't want those two worlds to collide as much as possible. "Yeah, no, sorry, I have a... thing... on saturdays" was awkward but also it was somehow fun. A guilty pleasure to an extent I guess. I was never "found out" in a character by the "outsiders", but I did have a hard time explaining to my parents that my vampire get up wasn't a cult or a fetish thing.
Me to 😄 exep for the vampire thing
Hold on, if Gem is a multiversal traveler, then is empires s2 gem the same as empires s1 gem? Neat!
Maybe that’s why she likes the witch so much lol
Season 1 of empires seems to have taken place in the same world as empires 2 however it was in another continent and took place long ago
@Angelica Koppel is it canon she is the same as empires 1?
OH MY PEARL YOUR RIGHT! Woah that’s so weird to think about. Pix would be so delighted to learn about the last empires.
@Angelica Koppel Well she is also an elf, they live to be MUCH older than humans do!
Worlds colliding is always awkward, but you're handling it with royal grace! And I love the idea of your princess character discovering her true self. Very much looking forward to how this unfolds!
Your colour gradients are a complete joy! I'm inspired to work more creatively with block palette combinations when I watch you and Sausage build. Loving the Empires/Hermitcraft crossover. Don't worry about the meta. After all, that's what Pixlriffs is doing too. Nothing wrong with meta. We enjoy you be you, with everything you bring to Minecraft. Can't wait to see the fun you all have together.
dude i love the idea that there is only one Gem. it makes my lore brain buzz. the idea that there are multiple other people who have multiple characters but there is only one gem and she just hops worlds gives me seratonin
OH. MY. PEARL. THIS LORE OVER THE MULTIVERSE. WOAH. SO TO GET THIS STRAIGHT: Gem is a rift traveler that travels to Hermitcraft, Empires, and etc.. So this means she ALREADY KNEW HOW TO TRAVEL THROUGH THE RIFT BUT NEVER TOLD ANYONE SO SHE COULD PRETEND TO BE DIFFERENT PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT WORLDS.
Lore.
This is the greatest collab of all time. As a fan of both servers, I love this to bits.
I’m really enjoying seeing how different Hermits are reacting and trying to work out how each of the Empire people stay in character. Gem, maybe just explain away the difference as having found an earlier rift between the worlds. Any elaborately plots will feel contrived.
I love your take on being a world hopper! I'm loving how everyone has their own ways of explaining how this is working (also, i'm having horrible flashbacks to jeremyism. lets hope this doesn't go the same way lol)

I love your intro. It has a feel for a fun novel which shows your aware of multiple universes you take part in.
I've been thinking of 1 or 2 characters that shift between/through universes/worlds.
Also it's cool that Pixel is here too because I see him as someone who can see into other worlds on occasion. Maybe he has a viewing window that opens every weekend.
i love the multiple universes lore! does this apply to season 1 and afterlife too? the idea of it all being one gem is so cool to me.
I KNOW LIKE WOW! She would know that Saint Pearl is just one of them but did not get reincarnated like everyone else AND THAT’S SO FREAKY! SHE COULD SO EASILY BREAK THE MINDS OF EVERYONE ON THE SERVER, IT’S NOT EVEN FUNNY!
Gotta love Gem in Sunglasses! Love hos derpy it looks
That roof gradient from crimson planks to honeycomb is inspired and inspiring
I just have to say, now that the princess of Dawn is starting the church of the Sun One phrase will likely become prevalent on Empires episodes... and praise the Sun it fits.
been looking forward to your perspective, can't wait to see how you reconcile the two different multiversal Gems!
Sounds like Bdubs and Rendog should be your first recruits, just based on your first rules.
Terraforming is one of my favorite things to do in Minecraft. It’s also what I’m best at. I can make excellent hills and caves, but I don’t do nearly as well when making houses. I recently made a ginormous geode on one of my private creative worlds. Nice to see another person who enjoys terraforming as much as me!
“Yeah it’s my home. My only home. One home. Just one.”
Maybe you could build emergency sleeping points around the server, as part of your church.
i wonder how her empires 1 character fits in the lore…
after watching her in the other videos that were released earlier, i thought that she would be going the chavez-like character in the minecraft multiverse.
AAAAAH LORE OMG IVE BEEN WAITING TO SEE GEMS SIDE TO THIS STORY 🤩
Ooohhh this looks good!! I was waiting for this!!!
I was very curious how the lore would work with False and Gem since they are in both worlds. I must say I love how you’ve done it. 1 is out adventuring while the other knows about the multiverse and is able to dimension hop (sort of reminds me of America Chavez from Marvel)
Dawn is looking great now
I like this headcannon! A reality shifter Geminitay who can shift to different reality where she can lives as her regular self, an elf hermit or a born princess of Dawn
I hope they have some of the Empires people go over to Hermitcraft too for this crossover.
Hopefully this crossover lasts through the holidays, doing multiple SMPs has to be very time consuming and a bit stressful. Being able to concentrate on a single set of builds has its benefits as well.
It's consistent with how youve always treated empires ! one of my fav of these episodes :)
Haha I love the "normal" casual approach Gem takes to the whole crossover. Like, yeah, she's just a normal person who plays make-believe with her friends sometimes. No lore, no angst, she's just very dedicated to her roleplaying hehe
love the gem world-hopping lore!! great idea!!
The idea of Gem being a dimension hopper seems so cool
I love the meta explanation, this character really is interesting! I wonder if there's going to be any conflict between princesses, since Katherine needs night time to do her secret monster hunting job...
I love Gem taking the position of “knowing about the multiverse” and using it to “jump between worlds” to be in both of them
I hope being in proximity to the hermits in this world gives gem a split personality storyline.
YES! 👌🏻
The different ways of handling two SMPs--one lore-ish and the other more casual--has been fun to see. Especially Pearl, and Sausage freaking out upon seeing her.

This is delightful aaa i actually adore the way gem is handling the character lore stuff
sooooooo gem is just basically travelling back and fourth through the hc and empire dimension?!
a lot of lore has just been dropped🤯
i love this episode. breaking the 4th wall and hearing abt the changes is really cool too. i also feel so inspired after any gem episode to build
I really like the lore that Gem is able to live different lives in different worlds in a way, and some realize this (Hermitcraft) while some people don't (Empires)
This is awesome to see two of my favourite SMPs colliding for a bit! Awesome video! :D
would be incredible too see gem build a statue of her in the castle doing the praise the sun emote :3
i really liked the way you handled the lore, basically gem is someone who can shift between different realities and live multiple lives at once which is so cool :D
I have a lore idea!!! What if Princess Gem became an evil Queen? Perhaps she has become altered by the Rift or something, because she has been jumping between the worlds too often. I think this would be an amazing plot twist because as you stated in the video, Princess Gem is a fun loving and cheerful person who doesn't want too much power and she is just happy being a Princess, but as she hops between worlds, her personality could slowly be altered every-time she changes worlds. And maybe, The Watchers are controlling her, from the Evo series in 2017. Perhaps the Hermits and Empires players have to work together to save Princess Gem and defeat the watchers once and for all. But maybe the players who used to be on the Evo server keep having flash backs to their times on the Evo server, and then remember the Listeners. Maybe the only people or things who know how to defeat the Watchers are the Listeners, and they have to try to contact the Listeners to find the way to defeat the Watchers.
I hope this is some good inspiration for you Gem, and I also wanted to say how much I love your videos. You are an amazing creator and I am so happy to be apart of the Gemintay community.
I love this idea!!! And Kathrine could become her evil follower. Maybe the reason why Kathrine's kingdom is corrupted is because the watchers have cursed her, knowing they would at some point corrupt her friend Gem, causing Kathrine to want to become her follower, as they have already formed a strong friendship. When they defeat the watchers, the corruption in her empire disappears, although some scars still show the past of her kingdom, but Kathrine decides embraces them.
Gem seems like she's beyond the Watchers control. She's a full on Roleplayer. Gem only plays along because their rules amuse her.

I have a Gem omega statue in my Vault Hunters world and I always love seeing which costume she is in when I sign in - very fun that it’s now “lore”
0:51 WAIT WAIT WAIT... Did she just confirm what I have been saying for months????? That HC Gem and Empires Gem are the same person and she can easily hop between worlds!!!!!!!
My head is going to explode with all the Lore going on.
6:33 *Facepalm* She thinks she's so Punny.
I absolutely adore how everyone is like ‘Idk who u are?’ While Gem here being a multi universal traveler/ reality Gem playing a game called Minecraft ;)
gem just making the whole thing so chill
This was an awesome entry level video. I was having so much difficulty digesting the other hermits/ empire members videos since it's my first time watching empires SMP. But your video was like a link from the literal to the roleplay, with clear explanations. And not a lot of craziness going on that overwhelms me from the get go.
Thank you so much. ^^
I totally expected gem to take this route.
for the lore, you could create a very small rift somewhere hidden in your base that your character - who is both a princess and an elf - has been using this whole time to travel between the worlds. but she's choosing to keep the still-working rift a secret, because she doesn't want to be blamed for the chaos the larger rift has caused. this way, if you wanted, you could still be playing on both worlds, and your character has an in-universe explanation as to why she isn't stuck like the rest of the hermits are!
I love that Gem's been using pumpkins on her roofs since I don't know when 😂
14:30 I actually love when you guys break the 4th wall to explain lore, it was the same when Grian explained the rift when he first built it
I love how you said that you chose to be a princess. Most, if not all princesses are only able to be a princess because of lineage and blood. It’s nice that you decided to be a princess because you wanted that sense of growth and adventure and I think it’d be lovely if over time you find more and more things that are your “destiny”.
Love it!! I wondered how you would work the lore with 2 worlds since you were "left Behind" Its really neat to see all these Minecraft characters all in the same world! I cant wait to see what you all get into!
I got the notification and I clicked on this video at the speed of light! Love your videos Gem!
Oh my gosh your character is an inter-dimensional LARPer I love that so much, this is absolutely fantastic. Also the gradient on the roof is gorgeous just wooaaaah! :D
Love you gem 💎 keep up your videos
That was awesome!! thank you so much for your thoughts on how you're doing things with your characters. I really like the idea of looking at it from a d&d perspective!! I've actually been wanting to start making minecraft videos and become like you and your group of friends, but I was struggling with how I would go about it and what I would need to do. Your thoughts about d&d and looking at it through those glasses (pun intended) really works and I think I may try it that way :) Love your videos, thank you so much :D
Gem is just everything and everyone
Anyone that plays D&D has had that moment where their non-D&D friends find out they play. We then go, "Yeah man it's fun, I'm a princess from a lost / destroyed civilization. We fight monsters and drink lots of beer. Yesterday Greg jumped off a cliff and lived. Monks are OP."
