the difference in tone of "the fog from the Evermore? the one that steals souls?" and "Yeah! Yeah, that's the one!" is making me cackle like mad also the response of "ah. okay." to a fairly direct threat from pix. never change, cub, never change.
Cub is still in the Battle Buddies, right? I wonder how far they would go to defend one of their own. Hmm… Cub was also sort of a monster though. Anyway, I hope Katherine got his head for her museum! Oops! I mean, “What museum? I don’t see anything there!”
That was one of the creepiest moments in SMP history, especially without any context beforehand. It just came out of nowhere and everyone's timing and acting were perfect.
The sculk storyline was tons of fun, so happy Cub decided to go with the Lore! An Eldritch Villain Cub storyline was something I never knew I needed this much.
I like the irony that they exorcized Cub right next to a skulking catalyst and how they just trapped him in a hole 🤣 perfect way to end a villain arc 👌
Just wanna mention, when Cub went to bed and had a "dream" about spreading the sculk, the whispering voice was saying "spread the souls" backwards. Something tells me, despite what everyone else thinks, the sculk and souls aren't necessarily synonymous. They're mutually exclusive. So sure, while Cub's sculk arc has ended, but something's telling me that his SOUL ARC has only just begun. PS: wrote this before the video ended, but I still think this isn't the last we see of sculk cub
@@ldyvaporeon9944 Would be a great story arc to invite the Empires players through the rift into Hermitcraft for a visit later on. Or maybe a future season of Hermitcraft?
I would have been more comfortable with that conclusion if we had actually seen him remove a single catalyst that he had hidden.. Like, I'm not sold on his commitment to the clear-up, and there's a decent chance that's intentional on his part, as foreshadowing. Not guaranteed tho 🙃
@@techsmechs2485 exactly, he obly removed the ones in HERMITOPIA. We never ONCE saw him remove the literal THOUSANDS of others across the other Empires.
i can safely say "eldritch possession exorcism by witch, clone(?) and archaeologist" was not on my bingo card for the crossover, but i loved every minute of this arc!
I don't think the empires people were prepared for a villain on a Cub scale. When Cub sets his mind to something, his focus and scale are massive. I feel that if had one of the empires players got infected, it would have taken them several weeks to even get to the point where they were affecting multiple bases.
I don't think Cub calculated the amount of damage it would cause to builds, particularly for builders like Pix who use a lot of natural blocks. Having to replace destroyed blocks in your build in a big job, and Cub laid hundreds of sculk catalysts. See JoeHills video for details.
Actually there are people in empires smp who would do worse like lizzie, joey or even ummmmm Scott those three are smart if lizzie was infected it would take a day or two to do all the work done she is a evil genius
I am finding it quite hilarious how people are answering for the creators on this SMP. Empires has a gentleman’s rule as per what Pixlriffs said in one of his streams... They, not just Pixl, say as long as you aren’t blowing things up (unless approved) anything goes... It also makes great content...
Yet pixl said in his stream that they were not informed about this prank at all beforehand and also he said that in his mind this was a mistake. He is cleaning the server right now on cub's behalf because for some reason cub isn't doing it himself (at least not yet) simply because the longer that stuff is left there the worse it gets. Pranks are nice but this is griefing. And if you do something like that, at least clean up after yourself. Cub lost lots of point in my eyes because of this.
@@aefinn it’s a cool storyline and I think if he had chosen any other method of “infection” it would have been fine. The problem is the skulk spreads by itself and therefore is near impossible to control and will probably never be completely cleaned up. If he had placed all the skulk himself, then I would say that any and all of the block conversion would have been okay. But using skulk catalysts was probably a mistake, especially if he didn’t keep track of where exactly he placed all of them
@@aefinn If they had no idea, then how was it Shelby who canonically kicked all this off by inviting him to investigate the swamp? They had to have said Something to each other beforehand.
I love how right after Cub got his Warden farm working on HC for the best form of portable XP, Mojang nerfed the catalyst to try and discourage folks farming the Warden. Leave it to Cub to come up with another fantastic use for a Warden farm.
This episode was weirdly cute, I loved seeing the Emperors try and help save you from yourself lol and your acting was pretty good as well. I know you got some criticism about this arc so it’s nice to see that there’s no hard feelings involved between the players and that most of the damage was fixed without too much effort :D it was fun while it lasted, though! also that villager trading hall is so cozy!
Don’t see why he would’ve got criticism for it, it’s incredibly likely the empires people told him to do it for a story line. And at the very least he wouldn’t have done it without a go ahead
@@100StepProgram And even if they weren't okay with it, they would talk it out but as it shows they are all in on a harmless joke, people get so heated over nothing
@@Ju-bz7yt Calm yourselves. It was a comment concerning someone saying he fixed most of the damage, when clearly that wasn't the case. I do believe he had everyone's approval to do what he done to advance someones lore. Besides they control the server with just a few commands they can turn all skulk above a certain level back to dirt. It just struck me as strange that the original post totally overlooked how little cleanup was done just to suck up to Cubfan. And let's face it, Cubs acting is hilariously bad. That's what makes it so great.
Your additions to the Hermit Tower are absolutely beautiful, you’ve more than made up for the damage. This prank was fun, the skin was fantastic, but I’m glad everything got resolved in such a sweet way. This was a very feel-good episode, thanks for proving to everyone that although the Hermits prank hard, they always clean up harder. Looking forward to seeing what you’ve got planned for the rest of the crossover.
I loved this prank + it seemed like a good story threat, but I am glad to see it wrapping up. It's already going to be a long battle to clean up the first 2 volleys of catalysts It does seem like a catalyst minesweeper plotline/ competition with you vs Joe on HC would be fun! He seemed to particularly rise to the challenge
I was expecting Cub to push the Sculk thing so far that the Empire Player would flee with you to Hermitcraft to avoid the Sculk. Thank god I was wrong.
@@blupblupblup-ny7xr The only thing I'm implying is that I thought the People from the Empire Server would come over to the Hermitcraft Server after this Part of the Crossover is over. A Crossover Part Two.
this was weirdly wholesome lol :D i’m sad to see sculkfan135 go, though, that was one of the coolest pranks i’ve ever seen and inspired so many awesome fan works! i hope we see a resurgence of the deep dark back on hermitcraft, maybe like a game with joe since he seemed to really enjoy it! well done cub, the acting here was really fun to watch and i enjoyed all the new connections this brought :)
Watching the first half was like watching a movie, so much great acting and story telling. Love the sort of accidental framing of when they were peaking into him hole, each taking a turn to appear and look at him, saying ‘we’re here to help’. It was really wholesome. Will forever miss skulkfan, but maybe now we can get the promised colourful cub fan? (From the first episode of the crossover)
When I was a child, I loved playing backyard ball with "The Big Kids." They were bigger, faster, and stronger, but were still kids and were often reckless. Me being a "Little Kid," and a small one at that, I was more prone to injury than the others. Inevitably, I'd end up on the ground, doubled over in pain because one of the Big Kids accidentally forgot their own strength. To keep from getting tattled on, the Big Kid would often say "You can hit me back, as hard as you can!" They felt guilty, but didn't want to get in trouble, so they tried their best to make it up to me in the most Kid-Way possible. Little Kid me would usually end up laughing at their over-reaction to my "strength." I feel like Cubfan is the Big Kid on the Server who accidentally forgot his strength.
Aww Shubble, Pix and False looking down at Cub was oddly adorable, especially Shubble's "I hear you're not feeling so well." It would be even cuter if I didn't have the knowledge that e!False was a murderer lol. Though Cub may be cured, I hope Shubble is extra careful about that fog now! We know a little bit more about it, though.
What about some giant lanterns to immortalize the skulk arc? One soul and one regular, like off the side of the tower as a lounge or viewing platforms?
Cub I believe your cause. Spread the Sculk! haha jokes aside, I have mad respect to the grind and dedication you put into your projects. This was a very fun arc. A villian is always tricky to portrait and not many will be able to do as good of a job as you did!
There was a total cinematic aspect to the angles in the hole scene, the acting and Cub's hilarious reponses to everyone. It takes legit skills to Improv as well as you guys did. This episode was so enjoyable. Thank you.
only cub would respond to the threat of getting all of the server together to kill him together with "ah. okay. alright, well, we'll see about that". man, this character arc is so cool. great work all around with not only the roleplay and narration, but also in showing the empires guys exactly how much grind and persistance goes into a cubfan135 prankTM :D
Cub’s second form, pretending to cooperate and remove skulk, but not actually removing catalysts, the possession has not been completely removed, lol..
It will live for quite a while, I assume - though not around the Ancient Capital. Joe and Pix extracted almost 4 stacks of catalysts from the area and Pix confirmed it to be clean now. Thing is, Cub apparently distributed like 50 stacks of the stuff around the server.
Congrats to Cub for getting thru the madness of the skulk and playing a role that would culminate in a moment of intense discomfort with Pixlriffs confronting him the way he did. Really felt suspense there.
And here I was thinking the end would be a very epic battle, with all the hermit and emperors joining forces to stop the evil, with cub joining a few wardens......!!! And all it needed was some splash potions... I think I overthought it all :D
The reaction of the evil spirit being forced out of cubs body being "oooooOoooh EEEEeeuuh thissss OOOOooOOOHH is not it EEEEEUHHUHUHUHHH" is the funniest darn thing
Welcome back to reality cub. It's good to see you've recovered from the skulk and regained your sanity.♥️ Ye who once was lost, now is found! Yay! I loved this story line and seeing so much talent coming together. Awesome fun!
Now that I think about it, the sculk-spread thing reminds me of a major plot point from NerdCubed (the minecraft webcomic before he became a letsplayer). The Root (obsidian and nether portals) was trying to infect and corrupt the world... and that's pretty much exactly what sculk does, both mechanically and lore-wise.
Oh wow, genuinely impressed by the contrast between skulk Cub and normal and his confusion. Really, really good episode and way to end this arc! Loved and looked forward to every episode of it!
Well done, good sir. I should have known your grind to resolve the Skulk Arc would be as epic as the grind to begin it. RIP SkulkFan. Long Live CubFan...
The skulk takeover was a fun story to follow and I really enjoyed it! It'll be missed but I'm looking forward to whatever shenanigans you cook up next, alongside the wonderful builds
But the fog was possessing Cub right? And the fog is still there. So this surely won’t be the end of things. Maybe for Cub, but certainly not for Shelby and the Emperors.
I'd never really thought of the mechanic the skulk catalyst introduced until you did this story arc. There are a lot of story telling possibilities with that block. A lore heavy server is a really good place to do it. I hope the Emperors make some use of it, even if it wasn't something they were expecting.
Stay away from the fog! I'm glad you're back Cub. I'd say investigate the skulk a bit more, but that might bring back a nightmare. Oh, and Grumbot is here, he's asleep at the moment, but he is here. Stay frosty!
Pix complimenting the skulk through his teeth and Cub’s bright enthusiasm is such funny contrast
very amused by the fact that their solution to the sculk madness was just "throw potions at him until it worked" and somehow it did work
With Shelby's potions, that's a serious gamble. They're lucky he didn't turn into a Warden.
And you know it was literally all kinds of potion effects, because two of them got the achievement for that.
They threw a witch's potions. And the witch certainly knew what she was doing. Yep. Definitely.
@@BrandonVout there is the potential fanfics
Totally ain't a 50/50 chance of being cured vs death

Really, really good episode and way to end this arc!

I love that Pix and False just staged an intervention for Cub lmao
I loved this Skulk storyline Cub! You are really good at the lore when you choose to do it. I love your parts of Hermitopia.
I really enjoyed the skulk spread. Seeing other ppls reactions in their videos and you being "possessed" by the fog was hilarious.
I loved this character! Great job, Cub!! ❤️
Well done, good sir. I should have known your grind to resolve the Skulk Arc would be as epic as the grind to begin it. RIP SkulkFan. Long Live CubFan...

I saw pix with the sculk and immediately said yeah that’s a trap LOL
Wow, the Warped fungus flooring looks great! It’s not full of skulk anymore!
Amazing roleplaying mate, well brought the corruption 👏
Legendary! It’s one thing to pull of such a prank, but it’s something completely different reverting it all again! You are a legend cub.

22:20 press F and pit the lanterns in the off hand. Makes it easier to remove and place blocks with the right tool block combo
But the fog was possessing Cub right? And the fog is still there.
So this surely won’t be the end of things. Maybe for Cub, but certainly not for Shelby and the Emperors.
Really thought they would have just used a weakness potion and a golden apple 😊
such a great arc, long live the skulk!!
Nooo, look how they massacred my boy. Bring back the sculk! #SpreadtheSculk! Spread the souls!
Aw how cute, a skulk intervention...
Well, I am so glad that is over. Good roll playing Cub. I think you need to add giant diagonal supports to the Hermit tower.
The madness was short lived... Probably for the best cause the damage was getting out of control!!! Hahahaha great job Cub!!!
Honestly wouldn't be surprised if cub becomes a member in the next empires season just because of his "skulkfan" lore era.
cubs effect will last on the emipers smps forever
this was a very cool arc
I’m 90% sure that cracking someone with a totem also counts as a “death” to spread it.

A lore heavy server is a really good place to do it. I hope the Emperors make some use of it, even if it wasn't something they were expecting.
you need to clean up your entire mess before you leave the server.
loved your evil arc Cub, well played sir.
Props to Pix, False and Shubble for bringing SirCubalot back
**cries in no bit at the end where maybe the skull is coming back**
Its always sunny in Hermittopia. The gang gives Cub an intervention.
I can only imagine the meeting they had with cub lol
Stay away from the fog! I'm glad you're back Cub. I'd say investigate the skulk a bit more, but that might bring back a nightmare. Oh, and Grumbot is here, he's asleep at the moment, but he is here.
Stay frosty!
I imagine joe just actually spoke backwards for that clip with him
