Welcome to r/Grian!

Just a random YouTube ad. It’s short bc I could only record a bit at the end, but I SWEAR that that sounds exactly like Please Hold (I’m pretty sure that’s the name but i may be misremembering)

I thought he was adorable so I made some fanart of Giran + Mumbo Jumbo. I didn't want to be mean so I didn't put bubblegum in his hair

Hey guys! I used to be a huge grian fan and I recently rediscovered him. I found that he has a shipping and fanart/fanfic esque following now and in all the fanarts I looked at he had wings? Sometimes they were red, yellow, and blue? Is this just a thing? Was it from a series etc? Can someone just fill me in because I’m kinda interested now and I was curious.

Did this under a post about giving omni-man a new face

I noticed a weird detail during Grian's most recent episode, right after using the telescope he says "I am enjoying using this telescope, it's just got something about it," and while he says this he zooms in on his face, and his eyes are full of stars... I almost wonder if this is a hint at some upcoming lore, maybe he gets obsessed with the telescope? Maybe even watcher stuff??

Apologies for the dirty screen but I think this could work better than removing the crying obsidian

Imma be honest i neeeeddd fan art of him in like an astrologer outfit with these galaxy/starry eyes

So I wake up in the morning, realise i missed a grian stream, and theres a chance of him playing OUTER WILDS... my FAVOURITE game of all time?????

I am scared, overjoyed, and everything under the sun.

As much as I would thoroughly love this and go crazy if it does happen, i am wary of of how him having shch a large chat may amount to spoilers, since spoilers can be game ruining in most scenarios of the game.

Please grian play outer wilds i might explode.

Edit: Hermits cannot read, this is reading game.... my doubts are justified 😭

Really, really proud of this one.

i for some reason can't watch his stream on twitch and would like to know what game he is playing

felt obligated to post some fanart because of that!! i know the uk/europe tour is now but the start of the tour was around when past life was so its really funny thinking about emo grian + emo pearl on the same team lol. the second one is just a little doodle but i thought’d it’d be funny.

Hi- I'm currently trying to do the "Life series in your style" challenge and I've come to the colouring part. But- I can't figure out Grian's hair colour. So I need your help.

First we have his minecraft skin, a slightly dirty dark yellow- or as we call it; dirty blonde. Second we got his brown haired yt pfp, and lastly Cherri's thumbnail for Twomuchgrian content. I know Cherri's one is also a fna inteperation but since she makes the thumbnails, I figured out why not include her? I wanted to add Cocoabats and the TGC cards too but I don't want my brain to explode lol. Cherri and Cocoabats you guys are freaking good!!!

So- what do you guys think?

brown cushion, black cushion, yellow cushion, brown cushion, then honey block !

This was at the VOS convention in Prague, met lovely people! (Shoutout to that one guy who asked if the back of the cosplay was finished!)

I feel that Grian's HermitCraft series (as well as the Life Series, but that's a future post) is nowhere near as entertaining as it used to be.

That being said, I watched Season 6 as a 12-year-old. (I actually started while Season 8 was coming out and caught up quickly because I really liked it.) Since then, I've been watching Grian's videos as they come out for the past three seasons.

I think the content is nowhere near as good, and his charm and brilliant ideas that made him famous have been replaced with cheap bits. What was great about his channel was all the mini-games and fun he started, in things like the Season 6 Civil War. He's always been an amazing builder, but the real draw to his videos was the way he interacted with the other creators.

In Season 6 (just from memory), I know he made Demise, the Civil War, an elytra course, a digging game if I remember correctly, and more. Not to mention his run as Poultry Man, which he played off as a brilliant bit throughout the season that he genuinely put a lot of work and building into, not just for the content.

In Season 7 he had the door thing and some more, and in Season 8 he was the creator of all the fun and ideas in Boatem. He was also always talking to people, allowing a good balance between building and socializing. He had pranks like trapping Mumbo in obsidian and building a base under Keralis's, which all felt like genuine ideas he had that we just got to watch unfold. His conversations with Iskall, Mumbo, and others all felt like watching real conversations.

When I watch now, many bits feel manufactured. Things like the mending book felt like ideas written into a video beforehand just to get people to watch, and it dragged on for multiple episodes. The Permit Office had great moments, like Joel's experience and interactions with other people, but that was only a small part of it. Most of the office was Grian making jokes to himself and the audience, and for all the work he put into it, the social interactions never fully paid off.

Twenty episodes into Season 11, he really only talks to EGG consistently, with many other players making one or zero small appearances. He's only worked on his own base, and I recently watched an entire episode about trying to get a blue axolotl, which:

1. Was Ren's idea.
2. Felt like a rehash of the mending book.
3. Even though it did take him quite a while, it wasn't worth 20 minutes and an entire episode, and I feel like he should know that.

The bits he puts in nowadays aren't as funny and are mostly directed at the audience anyway. Not only has he barely done any pranks in either of the last two seasons—except quick bits like waxing Mumbo's rods for a total of about two minutes of video time—but nobody pranks him either. There are pranks from other players, like the snowman going around or Doc bullying Scar, but nobody does it to Grian. It's almost like he just got fed up with that style of content and that it isn't his thing anymore.

While I'm still watching his videos, I feel their quality has gone down, and his channel just isn't the same anymore.

Ive been watching grian since pre- hermitcraft so ive seen the many different phases of Grian over the years, Then new twist has come ever since he started streaming I think. Hes more up to speed on internet trends and just general discussion is much different. I used to think of him like an older brother but now its more younger brother (is that weird? i dont mean it that way). He feels much more like a general minecraft youtuber now than he used to be. I think he chose to stay at a younger age ranged audience instead of "growing up" with his audience like some youtubers do..
Idk i also feel a bit of whimsy is missing but that might be nolstagia speaking so im not serious on that point just yet, his videos kinda feel repetitive to me now which is kinda strange.
Change my mind
