I loved when X and TFC teamed up in a UHC match together. X took TFC into the nether and it didn't go so well. But TFC was so cool and chill about it, just staying with Xisuma till the end. I think about that one often, definitely my favorite memory.
@@xisumavoid As a retired minister, and a certified old geezer, allow me to reassure you that your process for grief is not unhealthy. It allows you to keep functioning, without being overwhelmed by emotion. It even places you in a position to be there for others, when the emotion overwhelms them. Sometimes, the only person who can reach a grieving person is someone who shares their grief. I think anyone who interacted directly with TFC will always carry a piece of him in their heart, as I certainly do. Keep spreading joy, and being an honest friend to others. That's the legacy he leaves with us. 🤠👍
I think Ren moved outta london & went to a remote town, in 2016, i think?...and his "real life hermit project" vlog thing he did. Not sure if he's still out there though...
My memory of TFC is his failed trips to the shopping districts. Him hearing something is a for sale in the shopping district, heading up from the mines and to go looking for what ever it was only to walk past it repeatedly before heading back to the mine empty handed for him to return in the next episode to get it.
Those are definitely the first episodes that came to my mind too. I laughed along with him every time. He knew he was looking past things and always thought "oh well, guess i'll have to look for it next time." And then he would laugh that great laugh of his.
Exactly. When my great granny died, I was silent, didn't really express any emotions outside. But when I was alone, and it all downed on me, I shed a tear. I've had amazing memories with my great granny. She was well witted, always vigilant, and she was often talking about her encounters and experiences with a verve, and her impression skills were quite good. The way she impressed her friends and relatives when talking about her experiences with them, I always laughed, because it always sounded so funny. When I was alone, I paid a silent goodbye to her, and to this day, remembering her to her birthday we always have to take a shot for her. She would start every day with a glass of beer, and she would always have so many chocolates, bonbones, chips, crackers and peanuts ready for any visitors. I'm so grateful to experience her even in my early adult days, and while the funeral wasn't a big ceremony, the few of us in our family and friends circles who gathered there (it was also the very first funeral I've attended - but definitely won't be the last one), we had a quite good time afterwards, we talked with each other, friends and family members who haven't seen each other in years, etc. So in the end there was this positive aspect that her unfortunate passing bringed long forgotten bonds together again, when we've met up at the funeral. I know for sure that this is definitely not the only funeral I'll attend. There will be more, and it may be sooner than I'm willing to admit to myself. But in the end, it's not about the loss of a loved one, it's about the good memories we made along the way.
He was a memorable lad. His health has been bad for a while now, but I never expected it to be this sudden. It's sad, it'll hurt. But man did he embody the true hermit spirit. Live on TFC. You'll be remembered forever 🕊
You know, after seeing ZombieCleo and Grian's videos, it made me appreciate the simple act of leaving a candle in memory of someone a lot more. Even moreso when someone else brings their own candle to add to the altar. It's not just a sign of grieving for the soul in question, but it also is a small message to the bereaved that they're not alone in their grief.
Well said. Even now that the world download is available, I've been seeing streamers tour the world and every single one I've watched has left a lit candle next to Cleos or by Scars tree ❤
Xisuma when my grandmother died a few years ago I got a wide understanding of how quickly life can change and I have learned to exist in our world by enjoying it seeing everything like it's the first and last time and you see everything as pure beauty it was the greatest turning point in my life. Rest in peace TFC alongside others who have left us.
I feel you, my Grandma passed away today's year just days before Techno died I think, Ive lived with her in my life... And im about to live without her till the day I die
Thanks for sharing X! The story of TFC's channel name is also interesting. Hopefully, I have the details correct, and anyone is welcome to correct me or fill in the blanks. TFC's channel starting as a cooking channel. He named the channel TinFoilChef, as nod to the Iron Chef, which was a cooking show on the Food Network. He chose TinFoilChef, since Tinfoil is a budget version of iron. For one reason or another, his cooking channel didn't pan out, and he rebranded as TinFoilChef's Gaming Channel.
I had no idea his channel was a cooking channel or a gaming channel. I subscribed to his channel a long time ago - like a decade ago; his channel was one of the first I subscribed to. Anyway, when I subscribed to him, he was talking about his life, medical issues, philosophies on life, and maybe conspiracy theories. This was likely between his channel being a cooking one and a gaming one. I thought his channel was called tinfoil chef because he talked about philosophy and maybe conspiracy theories. I thought about his channel yesterday, so I checked his channel just now.
12:20 broke me to tears. It’s nice to see how all of you loved TFC so much even if we didn’t see him too much in episodes of hermits. It reminds us that you hermits are actual friends and not just a group who happen to play together. Hope you are doing fine X, TFC will be remembered always
My best memory of TinFoil Chef was when he thought his fallout shelter in season 6 was done, and I asked where the bathroom was... He spent 5 episodes building one, discovered how cool banners were for mirrors, and it was the most epic bathroom. He always read comments, replied back, and generally loved his fans.
TFC's passing has helped me realise that I'm not good at dealing with death. While TFC was never that UA-camr I always had to watched, he reminded me of my late father, and I think I had unconsciously used TFC as a coping mechanism for some repressed grief there. With TFC's passing, I feel I'm back in the days where I was too busy to grieve and ended up just repressing it
We all have to take grief in our own time. I sense a bit of guilt, or regret, in your comment, and want to tell you that you don't need to feel either. Sometimes we need to hold it all in until the time is right to let it out. As long as you take that time when it comes, you'll be ok. I wish you the best. The load doesn't get lighter, but we do get stronger as time goes on.
@@WanderingWolfe what you can’t bear to carry you get stronger for because it’s still gonna bear down on you. Even after letting it out it still try’s to creep into your eyes at the weirdest possible time.
I once heard a good analogy for grief... If you imagine a room, and on one wall there is a button. Every time that button is pressed it causes pain. Grief is a ball that bounces around in that room. It starts massive, pressing the button near constantly. If you bottle it up the ball never gets smaller. But the more you process the grief - the smaller the ball gets. It's still there. It doesn't vanish. But it gets smaller and smaller until it hardly ever hits that pain button any more. Sometimes it will happen still. But it gets less frequent. So it's easier to go about your day again.
I remember finding him and at first I thought tfc wasn't a member, 5 years later I was an avid tfc fan. Then he stopped uploading, and I thought it was leg problems. Found out he died. Rest in peace tfc, the truest hermit of all. ❤
TFC was few of the most low key member of the server. Doing his thing and having fun. Though our watch time with him is short, he'll always be remembered as the grandfather figure of Hermitcraft. Rest well TFC. You will be dearly missed by Hermits and community alike.
I lost it at the hug animation. Here I am crying in my office, thinking about that impossible desire to hug someone after they’re gone. Sometimes that’s all you want. For TFC, I just wanna hear him grumble about his builds again. I hope he can live without pain in his next life
I think that everyone should be able to grieve in their own way, and if you all decide to do something on the server, people will be happier. And if you don’t, I think people will still accept what you do and still support your decision.
I am two years into dealing with the loss of my beloved younger sister, who was like a miniature TFC in the sense that Minecraft, to her, was only mining. All the mining. I also tend to bottle stuff up and just...power through stuff instead of addressing it. Therapy was my first time actually venting and addressing my own grief and oh boy, was it a very hard process to begin. Still not sure if I feel any better, but hey. At least I can talk about her these days. I say all this just to say, I really do understand the pain of losing someone who you care for, especially in such a sudden way. HermitCraft is a Minecraft family and I am sure that you guys are feeling this loss as though it was your own family. It's so hard to process and everyone is so different and varied in how we process grief and hard times. I imagine all of you are having a tough time navigating this event and my heart goes out to y'all. Rest in peace, TFC.
That must be very difficult for you. I'm sure she was precious. The process is difficult. You're taking steps to open up and think about it in a healthier way. You're improving yourself over something that's incredibly difficult. For your effort, I am proud of you. It's okay to still be grieving. You'll get to a point where things will be more okay. Hang in there, stay strong, and keep living life.
I watched this vid when it came out and really appreciated what you shared about TFC. It popped up on my feed again and I rewatched it. Just wanted to say his loss is still felt. I’m sure it hits the Hermits at times as well. Even though we fans don’t know all of you personally, it feels like we know you, we spend a lot of time with you all and feel like we are friends despite most never having met. Anyway, I wanted to let you know we are thinking about you guys.
I really enjoy how unedited his videos are. I always felt like I got to explore the server as if I was actually playing on it, seeing where things are in relation to each other, the travelling, his shopping sprees, and the accompanying booming laughter and lighthearted, sometimes self-deprecating, jokes that always came along. I love how he surprised people with just how many diamonds he had managed to amass in season 6. His Fallout inspired bunker is one of my favorite builds especially after Cleo, another Fallout fan, came along and filled the place with amazing armor stands characters. According to his obituary he was a hermit in real life too. A true hermit who still had a fondness for other people. When the community came together to help him get some exercise equipment was another beautiful moment and it showed how much people care for him and how much he cared for them. I'm never one to form parasocial relationships with the people that I watch but his passing hit me surprisingly hard. I cried when I learned about it and still get misty eyed thinking about it and yet I never knew the man - but I know what he meant to a lot of people both online and in real life. He had a very avuncular vibe to him and almost felt like the server's grandfather. He often forwent flying because of a shoddy internet connection but my affection for him soars beyond the cloud. To borrow a term from Pratchett GNU Tinfoil Chef. Thanks for all the laughs and adventures, missed but not forgotten.
For those of you interested in seeing TFC interacting with many of the Hermits, he was there for the Season 9 launch, and you may not have even realized you were hearing and seeing him in all the laughter and chat. Go back and watch that first episode from your favorite Hermits, and you just might hear someone you missed. 🤔
i don't know why, but TFC has always been my all-time favourite. Somehow, I've seen all of his videos. He's the only one. 10 years ago, I've started watching his UA-cam, especially Minecraft. He's has been the only guy I would start watching again and again. For me, the best moment was that het mentioned me in his video, commenting on how I gave him some building advice. I think, he is special. RIP TFC, I will miss you Boss.
Personally, I don't think the passing of Techno made TFCs passing any harder or easier. Both were great people and both will be missed, but to me both passings are single events. Neither is ideal, but one doesn't amplify the other. They are both hard in their own ways. Rest in peace.
@@PotatoTechInd I think that this is kind of an individual perception thing… This year I have experienced a lot of deaths of people who were significant to me. It almost feels like at one moment something in the world has broken and started an unfortunate yet predictable row of terrible events. As for me, I couldn’t say, that it is the fact, that particular person died that makes it so sad. I was devastated to hear about the death of both Techno and TFC. I don’t think, that the order of events really is important here. But this is overall feeling of death taking people away from you, like when you hear those news again and again, this is what makes you even sadder, I think. It may be emotionally draining for some people, when they just started to get things back to where they were only for everything to fall apart again. How X said - everyone deals with grief differently…
The day i found out about tfc passing away was weird for me because i didnt watch alot of his videos but the videos i did watch of him or that he was involved with were some of my favorite videos to watch so in a way i felt guilty because i didnt spend more time watching his content. but my little way to honor tfc was i booted up my survival world and moved out many many thousand blocks that i have never gone to and started up the largest branch mine that i think ive ever made let alone participated in.
I think it's a normal response to grieve for someone by feeling sad that you didn't know them better when they were around. Death hits hard even if it was someone that we didn't know super well or for very long. Your branch mine sounds like a fitting tribute.
@@WritingsOfQuill man I can say that it goes both ways. You can know someone fairly well or not at all and still feel the guilt of either wishing you had spent more time with them or wishing you could have one last time with them. Death SUCKS is the conclusion I’m coming too. And life is a 🐶 and then you die
Wow, I started playing on my MC server late 2012 too and have been there 10 years now. It makes me sad/glad knowing that TFC and I are the same in a way. I like mining, caving, minestafts and doing MC the basic way with little redstone farms, all the manual ways are the way I like it. We were both in our 50's (54 for me, 52 for TFC) when we started this wild journey. I am now 64 (65 later this year). And I can't see myself leaving MC or my server for a long time to come. But its sad to know that TFC was cut short from his love of MC. I will miss him. 😢
It sounds like TFC was a huge cheerleader for Hermitcraft and what it stands for. Even if he wasn't a part of the mainstream Hermit scene, he was all about it and stood by it. Major respect for TFC even though I have not seen much of him, I am deeply sorry for his passing.
I didn't know much about TFC as I just found him in season 8. I enjoy watching all of the hermits videos and all the crazy builds and redstone they do. I really enjoyed TFC's content because it was more like how I played. It felt more relatable to me. I also love mining. I get on MC and catch myself spending hours just strip mining. Although I enjoy the other hermits videos their builds are way out of my legue. I tend to watch them and get a bit frustrated with myself when I can't build anything close. Then I watch a TFC video and realize it doesn't matter. Just play and have fun. So that's what I do, i go and build some simple things and mine as much as I can. I'm definitely going to miss TFC's uploads.
I can't believe it's already been a year since TFC passed away. I very much miss him a lot still to this day. He was the truest of Hermits as he toiled his way through the countless mines he dug out. My favorite season of his was season 6 when he decided to make a Fallout Vault. RIP a legend
TFC reminds me of one of my friends, he always mined and was the luckiest miner out of all of us. One time, he tried mining in my mine and immediately found diamonds. Even though we rarely saw him outside his mines, we all were happy whenever he joined.
only time i watched TFC was back in season 6 when demise was happening on the server, loved how he just embraced the trap and started to laugh instead of trying to escape or anything. kinda sad he's gone now, liked to watch his videos every now and then
I love how mature you are always, your method of grieving is imo really good as long as you are self aware that you are doing it side note, idk if you are into philosophy but you would do really well in understanding concepts and thinking through, and I think you would like really delving into it as well
I haven't watched much of TFC but my favorite memory of him is from Demise. He fell into a lava trap and had ample time to save himself, but he spent the time laughing because it was a good prank. He seems like a wonderful man and he will be missed ❤️
What I love most about Hermitcraft is the social interaction. Even tho TFC rarely showed up in other hermits videos, I cherished those few time I got to see him interact with others. Such a sweet grandpa vibe, joking around and not afraid of sharing his old man laugh. Thanks for the story about how he joined X, loved it.
I remember when he joined the Hermit’s at first I couldn’t get away with watching his game play, but after a few episodes he grew on me and I enjoyed watching him after a while. Literally an old school player with his own old school gameplay!!! Rest in peace TFC. I will miss your uploads…
One of the things I like about watching TFC was that put into perspective all of the crazy stuff that is always going on. I remember a few episodes of season 8 when he went to buy in botem and since he didn't had wings or knew where everything was he wander around trying to figure out what he can buy. Seeing all of the builds from his perspective was really fun.
I really appreciate hearing your honesty on how you're handling this situation. We're here for you and will support the hermits in whichever ways you all choose to grieve and commemorate.
TFC was so special, he was one of those people whose energy is incredibly hard to replicate, it was fascinating to watch him, soothing yet funny and witty and just special.
I was introduced to TFC while looking for Thaumcraft tutorials, which I still go back and watch once in a while. There is an old proverb that states, "When an old man passes a library is closed." and I feel that statement is particularly true for TFC, he had so much knowledge and life experiences. I will forever be thankful that he chose to share some of that with us. Rest well old friend.
"I'm a very self-aware person; I think about how I think". Dang yo. I've always had that sense about you but I could scarcely have said it so succinctly as that. Much love.
Your story about TFC telling you how proud he was and supporting you all in a time of hardship really warmed my heart. I already try to genuinely tell my friends how much they mean to me, but hearing this story and how you still remember it dearly and how much it helped you inspires me to talk to my friends like this more regularly. RIP TFC.
What I think I love the most about TFC, was how calm the guy was. He was such a relaxing guy to watch. And the funny part of him being so rich but no one ever noticed. Remember people calling scar the richest in season 6, meanwhile TFC had double chest of diamond blocks, because he just liked to mine.
I didn't watch hermitcraft season nine, I only just recently started it again and so I was binge watching to catch up, I found out TFC died when I was watching grian. I had always had respect for the older hermits, and TFC was always one of the best, he always seemed like he would be around for longer, Its so wierd seeing him only having 4 videos on hermitcraft 9, and knowing there will never be anymore.
It’s nice to hear that I’m not the only person who thinks about my own thoughts. Whenever I react to something sad, rather than just have a mental response, I think about how I am mentally responding. It’s kind of weird in a way.
when i was growing up I used to spend time with my older brother watching him play single-player games. so I enjoy peaceful let's plays that capture a similar vibe. TFC's pace was perfect. some people these days aren't used to his type of video editing but it really captured that "we're here just chilling playing games" energy. rest in peace TFC
I may have never watched any of TFC's videos or his content in general, but I've been looking into what he did on the Hermitcraft server and watching collabs of him with other hermits. I've gotta say, it is sad I didn't get to know about him sooner. I knew he was a hermit and had been on Hermitcraft for many years, but just realised how much I missed out on. He seemed like a great person and hermit. Rest in peace TFC, you will be missed.
I stopped watching youtube for 6 months, and come back to this. he reminded me so much of my grandfather and it’s a lot. thank you for talking about this :’)
Now if I think about him for more than a few moments I come back and watch some of the videos like this. Soon I'll have the strength to watch all of his past seasons that I never had the chance to, since I've only been a fan since the middle/end of season 8 and didn't even watch completely regularly, just saw him and loved him. But for now, I'll just watch and rewatch some of these, and maybe cry a bit.
I wasn't TFC's biggest fan, but I'll always remember when he was killed in the Hermitcraft Hunger Games. He interacted with a bookstand, died to a trap and laughed his head off. Rest In Peace TFC.
X, I understand completely about the compartmental grieving; what you described puts what I felt when my uncle died into better words than I had. You may have become the greatest SMP out there, but please, all of you, don't put what you think we want to see ahead of what helps you enjoy what you do. Seeing how much you enjoy playing the game, and just spending time together, means far, far more than any manufactured entertainment ever could.
It was always so calming just watching him mine and talk, when I couldn't sleep and my anxiety was going nuts it was something to focus on. I was struggling with PP pain and anxiety, last 3 years has been hell personally, you know he understood pain and everything that comes with it too.
You have to be kidding me, first technoblade now TFC we are losing so many legends, My condolences to both of their families. Rest in peace legends. Edit: And now the bloody queens gone, 2022 is not doing anyone any favours
Thank you for the stories about TFC, truly. He seemed like such a grounded individual, and one with a great sense of humour. I greatly enjoyed his videos and his everlasting delight at seeing the builds and shenanigans the rest of the Hermits got up to as he wandered around on those intermittent sightseeing tours he took. Everyone grieves differently, for sure. Sharing stories of the person being mourned, and of their interactions with others and the world, can often help people process at least some of the complicated (and uncomplicated) feelings they may have. They may also provide some comfort, especially to his loved ones, as the stories illustrate what TFC meant to so many others.
Thank you for making this video. I didn’t realize exactly how much TFC had impacted me until he passed, but I can look back through all of my Minecraft worlds and see inspiration from him, and I even notice him here and there in the way I speak, and the way I think. It’s truly incredible that even with the limited interaction I had with him, he affected me so much. I have so many great memories of him, but you have so many great memories with him. That’s such a truly special connection with a truly special soul. We love you X, and we love you too, TFC.
The grief hit me very hard when I found out. I can only imagine what it is like for those who knew him outside of his content / on a personal level. My heart goes out to his family and friends and everyone who knew him. Rest in peace TFC.
even after months the worst part is seeing random people try to rage bait off of this tragedy. if you look at his last video, you can see people leaving comments every day along the lines of "skill issue. xD" or "i always thought he should have retired earlier, i guess life made him lol." and i just dont understand how some people can be so disrespectful. anyways, i just wanted to leave a comment that he isn't forgotten, and never will be o7
Thank you so much for sharing your memories of some of the moments you shared with TFC. The death of a friend or loved one affects people differently and we all react to it in our own way. But there is usually someone to step up and organize some kind of memorial service to honor the person and give people a chance to celebrate them and say farewell or see you on the other side. Do we want to go most would say no but we do out of respect and to give their family support. I wish I could have been able to do that for TFC. I thought it was a big deal Hermitcraft lost their one true Hermit. I felt like TFC deserved it. So thank you again Xisuma for this video from someone who started watching one Hermit about 6 years ago to watching and loving all Hermits. Someone said to me once "oh your a minecraft fan" and I said no I'm a Hermitcraft fan. And always will be. Rest in Peace TFC
wow, i just found out about TFC death just now. i dont really go on twiiter or watch hermitcraft like i did when i was younger but this just popped into my reccomendation... RIP TFC
RIP TFC. His laughter and his style of videos on the Hermitcraft server brings an rather chill commentary to the goings on on the server, a stark contrast in pace compared to the other hermits. I will miss him
I was watching a video recently that said something along these lines. Each person grieves uniquely, because each person has different memories of any given thing. If you cherished something, your grief for when it is gone is stronger. So even if others don't grieve the same amount as you, everybody's grief is valid. Xisuma, if you grieve the way you do, that's normal, natural, and okay. Same to everyone else. You're all beautiful.
Thank you for sharing these memories of TFC, I think it’s been a difficult boundary for a lot of us to navigate....respecting that the Hermits have a special relationship with eachother and us, as viewers, feeling as though we are a part of that as well and wanting to share these moments with you all. 🤔🥺
An Older Gentleman taught me minecraft almost 10 years ago and him and I loved TFC. The love for this game is one I share with both my kids now. Rest in peace sir.
I’m sad I only found him last season, but since I found him I always watched his vids and went back to watch some older ones too, truly sad and didn’t expect to happen so sudden
Thank you for sharing that, Xisuma! I remember for a while I was one of the ones getting really annoyed and almost angry over bringing up TFC and why other hermits weren't involved with him as much as they were everyone else in the server. Several tried to push that there should be more on-camera involvement with TFC because it felt like he wasn't being treated equally. ... then TFC said that him being by himself is his choice and is how he's played for a long time. The others hermits were more than happy to help him if he ever needed it, but he wanted to do things a lot of the time himself. Even brought up saying that he was a hermit in the truest sense. He just did his thing every day on his own and was completely fine with it.
Rest in peace TFC, he will be greatly missed. Everyone griefs differently so thank you for letting us grief in your comment section and if any of you guys need to take time off for themselves the comunity will understand ❤️
I first discovered TFC because of Demise in season 6 of Hermitcraft. He became one of my favorites because his grouchy rambling reminded me of my late father. I still can't think of TFC without crying, but I know that grief is a weird thing when it comes to loss and feelings over time. He will always hold a place in my heart. RIP TFC- The one true Hermit. ❤😭❤
I'm really grateful that TFC was a part of Hermitcraft. Its cool to hear how active he was in the group meetings we don't get to see that much of. We tend to take for granted having older folks in our lives but even into our 20's and 30's, like most Hermits are, having strong relationships to those who've lived a bit more life is still really grounding. I love that TFC was the Hermit's cool uncle down in the strip mines. He will be missed.
I loved when X and TFC teamed up in a UHC match together. X took TFC into the nether and it didn't go so well. But TFC was so cool and chill about it, just staying with Xisuma till the end. I think about that one often, definitely my favorite memory.
That was a great memory. Thanks for reminding me :-)
Where could I watch that? I plan to watch his earlier seasons.
@@jessechappell2 I want to know too!
@@Bobzzin UHC season 4, Xisuma or TFC, whichever you choose
@@xisumavoid As a retired minister, and a certified old geezer, allow me to reassure you that your process for grief is not unhealthy. It allows you to keep functioning, without being overwhelmed by emotion. It even places you in a position to be there for others, when the emotion overwhelms them. Sometimes, the only person who can reach a grieving person is someone who shares their grief. I think anyone who interacted directly with TFC will always carry a piece of him in their heart, as I certainly do. Keep spreading joy, and being an honest friend to others. That's the legacy he leaves with us. 🤠👍
TFC was the only hermit.. who was actually a hermit. Lol. He was really one of a kind. I am going to miss him. Rest In Peace TFC
I think you forgot about etho lol
I think Ren moved outta london & went to a remote town, in 2016, i think?...and his "real life hermit project" vlog thing he did. Not sure if he's still out there though...
He was just vibing in his branch mines...
He will be looking over the server from above but be below branch mining, a true hermit. RIP TFC
@@origin8374 I mean not really he chilled around with the others a lot foo
My memory of TFC is his failed trips to the shopping districts. Him hearing something is a for sale in the shopping district, heading up from the mines and to go looking for what ever it was only to walk past it repeatedly before heading back to the mine empty handed for him to return in the next episode to get it.
So damn frustrating to watch!
TFC was not the most observant person! He made up for this with a wonderful personality and an infectious laugh.
Those are definitely the first episodes that came to my mind too. I laughed along with him every time. He knew he was looking past things and always thought "oh well, guess i'll have to look for it next time." And then he would laugh that great laugh of his.
@@Erfedwe It was definitely part of his charm, though.
When he got trapped in the jar 🤣 I think it was iskalls shop
"When people are grieving, let them grieve in the way they need to grieve". Well said, Xisuma.
agreed.
"Do not mistake my silence for lack of grief"
Exactly. When my great granny died, I was silent, didn't really express any emotions outside. But when I was alone, and it all downed on me, I shed a tear. I've had amazing memories with my great granny. She was well witted, always vigilant, and she was often talking about her encounters and experiences with a verve, and her impression skills were quite good. The way she impressed her friends and relatives when talking about her experiences with them, I always laughed, because it always sounded so funny. When I was alone, I paid a silent goodbye to her, and to this day, remembering her to her birthday we always have to take a shot for her. She would start every day with a glass of beer, and she would always have so many chocolates, bonbones, chips, crackers and peanuts ready for any visitors. I'm so grateful to experience her even in my early adult days, and while the funeral wasn't a big ceremony, the few of us in our family and friends circles who gathered there (it was also the very first funeral I've attended - but definitely won't be the last one), we had a quite good time afterwards, we talked with each other, friends and family members who haven't seen each other in years, etc. So in the end there was this positive aspect that her unfortunate passing bringed long forgotten bonds together again, when we've met up at the funeral. I know for sure that this is definitely not the only funeral I'll attend. There will be more, and it may be sooner than I'm willing to admit to myself. But in the end, it's not about the loss of a loved one, it's about the good memories we made along the way.
He was a memorable lad. His health has been bad for a while now, but I never expected it to be this sudden. It's sad, it'll hurt. But man did he embody the true hermit spirit.
Live on TFC. You'll be remembered forever 🕊
🕯
The man, the myth, the legend
Rest in peace Tinfoil Chef
That’s a good way to say it! ❤ for TFC
The true HERMIT of Hermitcraft. he will be dearly missed and fondly remembered
o7
he was special
You know, after seeing ZombieCleo and Grian's videos, it made me appreciate the simple act of leaving a candle in memory of someone a lot more. Even moreso when someone else brings their own candle to add to the altar.
It's not just a sign of grieving for the soul in question, but it also is a small message to the bereaved that they're not alone in their grief.
Well said. Even now that the world download is available, I've been seeing streamers tour the world and every single one I've watched has left a lit candle next to Cleos or by Scars tree ❤
tfc and techno are on the other side chillin and talking about the good old times. rip tfc and techoblade you will be missed dearly by your fans
Both brilliant inspiring people
Techno 🥱😴
Then two are smilin at us fools being good people
How are the two related other than dying? Sure they're good people, but I'm curious...

One of the Hermits I watched the longest... RIP to one of the greats. The true Hermit
Xisuma when my grandmother died a few years ago I got a wide understanding of how quickly life can change and I have learned to exist in our world by enjoying it seeing everything like it's the first and last time and you see everything as pure beauty it was the greatest turning point in my life. Rest in peace TFC alongside others who have left us.
I'm sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace.
I feel you, my Grandma passed away today's year just days before Techno died I think, Ive lived with her in my life... And im about to live without her till the day I die
My grampa died about a year and a half ago, and my grandma died in 2013
May they rest in peace im sorry for your loss@@Gl_3tch
Each of my grandparents have passed away and let me say i have not dealt with it healthily over the years
Thanks for sharing X!
The story of TFC's channel name is also interesting. Hopefully, I have the details correct, and anyone is welcome to correct me or fill in the blanks.
TFC's channel starting as a cooking channel. He named the channel TinFoilChef, as nod to the Iron Chef, which was a cooking show on the Food Network. He chose TinFoilChef, since Tinfoil is a budget version of iron. For one reason or another, his cooking channel didn't pan out, and he rebranded as TinFoilChef's Gaming Channel.
"Cooking channel didn't pan out" is one of the greatest unintentional puns
Also nice story, didn't know that
That’s a lovely story ^^
thank you for this :)
I never knew but always figured it had to do with budget cooking
I had no idea his channel was a cooking channel or a gaming channel. I subscribed to his channel a long time ago - like a decade ago; his channel was one of the first I subscribed to.
Anyway, when I subscribed to him, he was talking about his life, medical issues, philosophies on life, and maybe conspiracy theories. This was likely between his channel being a cooking one and a gaming one. I thought his channel was called tinfoil chef because he talked about philosophy and maybe conspiracy theories.
I thought about his channel yesterday, so I checked his channel just now.
I remember how happy he was when the hermits bought him a new PC. What an amazing amount of joy brought from an act of kindness. Rip TFC.
12:20 broke me to tears. It’s nice to see how all of you loved TFC so much even if we didn’t see him too much in episodes of hermits. It reminds us that you hermits are actual friends and not just a group who happen to play together. Hope you are doing fine X, TFC will be remembered always
it made me teary eye
My best memory of TinFoil Chef was when he thought his fallout shelter in season 6 was done, and I asked where the bathroom was...
He spent 5 episodes building one, discovered how cool banners were for mirrors, and it was the most epic bathroom.
He always read comments, replied back, and generally loved his fans.
I think one of my 'favourite' forms of grieving is like this - sharing stories, remembering what you love about them and carrying it forward.
For some reason, the moment I remember the most from TFC is when he learned how to use an elytra. He was so stoked about it! Rest in peace, TFC
TFC's passing has helped me realise that I'm not good at dealing with death. While TFC was never that UA-camr I always had to watched, he reminded me of my late father, and I think I had unconsciously used TFC as a coping mechanism for some repressed grief there. With TFC's passing, I feel I'm back in the days where I was too busy to grieve and ended up just repressing it
We all have to take grief in our own time. I sense a bit of guilt, or regret, in your comment, and want to tell you that you don't need to feel either. Sometimes we need to hold it all in until the time is right to let it out. As long as you take that time when it comes, you'll be ok.
I wish you the best. The load doesn't get lighter, but we do get stronger as time goes on.
@@WanderingWolfe what you can’t bear to carry you get stronger for because it’s still gonna bear down on you. Even after letting it out it still try’s to creep into your eyes at the weirdest possible time.
@@keithbroh5730 The load doesn't get lighter, our capacity grows. :)
I once heard a good analogy for grief...
If you imagine a room, and on one wall there is a button. Every time that button is pressed it causes pain.
Grief is a ball that bounces around in that room. It starts massive, pressing the button near constantly. If you bottle it up the ball never gets smaller. But the more you process the grief - the smaller the ball gets. It's still there. It doesn't vanish. But it gets smaller and smaller until it hardly ever hits that pain button any more. Sometimes it will happen still. But it gets less frequent. So it's easier to go about your day again.
That was Generikb's exact explanation to Bdubs when Bdub's daughter passed.
@@TwistedSisler huh I never watched generikB. Its a really good analogy. I don't know where I heard it.
Goof analogy
That's the best way I've seen someone describe it
@@AnArnalo stop trying to gatekeep things, each person experiences grief differently
I remember finding him and at first I thought tfc wasn't a member, 5 years later I was an avid tfc fan. Then he stopped uploading, and I thought it was leg problems. Found out he died. Rest in peace tfc, the truest hermit of all. ❤
TFC was few of the most low key member of the server. Doing his thing and having fun. Though our watch time with him is short, he'll always be remembered as the grandfather figure of Hermitcraft.
Rest well TFC. You will be dearly missed by Hermits and community alike.
I lost it at the hug animation. Here I am crying in my office, thinking about that impossible desire to hug someone after they’re gone. Sometimes that’s all you want. For TFC, I just wanna hear him grumble about his builds again. I hope he can live without pain in his next life
I think that everyone should be able to grieve in their own way, and if you all decide to do something on the server, people will be happier. And if you don’t, I think people will still accept what you do and still support your decision.
70th like 😎
I am two years into dealing with the loss of my beloved younger sister, who was like a miniature TFC in the sense that Minecraft, to her, was only mining. All the mining.
I also tend to bottle stuff up and just...power through stuff instead of addressing it. Therapy was my first time actually venting and addressing my own grief and oh boy, was it a very hard process to begin. Still not sure if I feel any better, but hey. At least I can talk about her these days.
I say all this just to say, I really do understand the pain of losing someone who you care for, especially in such a sudden way. HermitCraft is a Minecraft family and I am sure that you guys are feeling this loss as though it was your own family. It's so hard to process and everyone is so different and varied in how we process grief and hard times. I imagine all of you are having a tough time navigating this event and my heart goes out to y'all.
Rest in peace, TFC.
Really sad to hear about it man. Can’t imagine losing someone so close but I know how much it’ll hurt. Glad to see your doing better now, stay safe
@@CrimsonCX
That must be very difficult for you. I'm sure she was precious. The process is difficult. You're taking steps to open up and think about it in a healthier way. You're improving yourself over something that's incredibly difficult. For your effort, I am proud of you.
It's okay to still be grieving. You'll get to a point where things will be more okay. Hang in there, stay strong, and keep living life.
RIP TFC, may he rest in heaven in peace
❤️
Still branchmining away
What if he's in the nether? Lots of potential to branch mind compared to the clouds.
I truly hope and pray he is 😢
God bless you all 🙏❤️
@@SVoided I wonder how many diamonds he found up there :)
My favorite tfc moment was when he opened up the computer you sent him. He was just so happy and grateful.
I watched this vid when it came out and really appreciated what you shared about TFC. It popped up on my feed again and I rewatched it. Just wanted to say his loss is still felt. I’m sure it hits the Hermits at times as well. Even though we fans don’t know all of you personally, it feels like we know you, we spend a lot of time with you all and feel like we are friends despite most never having met. Anyway, I wanted to let you know we are thinking about you guys.
I really enjoy how unedited his videos are. I always felt like I got to explore the server as if I was actually playing on it, seeing where things are in relation to each other, the travelling, his shopping sprees, and the accompanying booming laughter and lighthearted, sometimes self-deprecating, jokes that always came along. I love how he surprised people with just how many diamonds he had managed to amass in season 6. His Fallout inspired bunker is one of my favorite builds especially after Cleo, another Fallout fan, came along and filled the place with amazing armor stands characters.
According to his obituary he was a hermit in real life too. A true hermit who still had a fondness for other people. When the community came together to help him get some exercise equipment was another beautiful moment and it showed how much people care for him and how much he cared for them. I'm never one to form parasocial relationships with the people that I watch but his passing hit me surprisingly hard. I cried when I learned about it and still get misty eyed thinking about it and yet I never knew the man - but I know what he meant to a lot of people both online and in real life. He had a very avuncular vibe to him and almost felt like the server's grandfather. He often forwent flying because of a shoddy internet connection but my affection for him soars beyond the cloud.
To borrow a term from Pratchett GNU Tinfoil Chef. Thanks for all the laughs and adventures, missed but not forgotten.
For those of you interested in seeing TFC interacting with many of the Hermits, he was there for the Season 9 launch, and you may not have even realized you were hearing and seeing him in all the laughter and chat. Go back and watch that first episode from your favorite Hermits, and you just might hear someone you missed. 🤔
A favourite TFC moment for me would have to be the genuine joy he had when he came upon Cleo's armor stand people inside of his bunker in season 6.
i don't know why, but TFC has always been my all-time favourite. Somehow, I've seen all of his videos. He's the only one. 10 years ago, I've started watching his UA-cam, especially Minecraft. He's has been the only guy I would start watching again and again. For me, the best moment was that het mentioned me in his video, commenting on how I gave him some building advice. I think, he is special. RIP TFC, I will miss you Boss.
Honestly TFC's passing hit harder because Techno passed away like a month or two before. Rest in peace both of them
Personally, I don't think the passing of Techno made TFCs passing any harder or easier. Both were great people and both will be missed, but to me both passings are single events. Neither is ideal, but one doesn't amplify the other. They are both hard in their own ways. Rest in peace.
@@PotatoTechInd I think that this is kind of an individual perception thing… This year I have experienced a lot of deaths of people who were significant to me. It almost feels like at one moment something in the world has broken and started an unfortunate yet predictable row of terrible events. As for me, I couldn’t say, that it is the fact, that particular person died that makes it so sad. I was devastated to hear about the death of both Techno and TFC. I don’t think, that the order of events really is important here. But this is overall feeling of death taking people away from you, like when you hear those news again and again, this is what makes you even sadder, I think. It may be emotionally draining for some people, when they just started to get things back to where they were only for everything to fall apart again. How X said - everyone deals with grief differently…
Tough year for Minecraft YT.
The day i found out about tfc passing away was weird for me because i didnt watch alot of his videos but the videos i did watch of him or that he was involved with were some of my favorite videos to watch so in a way i felt guilty because i didnt spend more time watching his content. but my little way to honor tfc was i booted up my survival world and moved out many many thousand blocks that i have never gone to and started up the largest branch mine that i think ive ever made let alone participated in.
I think it's a normal response to grieve for someone by feeling sad that you didn't know them better when they were around. Death hits hard even if it was someone that we didn't know super well or for very long. Your branch mine sounds like a fitting tribute.
@@WritingsOfQuill man I can say that it goes both ways. You can know someone fairly well or not at all and still feel the guilt of either wishing you had spent more time with them or wishing you could have one last time with them. Death SUCKS is the conclusion I’m coming too. And life is a 🐶 and then you die
I didn't watch TFC either, so I rarely knew about him.
Exactly the same, except I built something instead of mined :')
Wow, I started playing on my MC server late 2012 too and have been there 10 years now. It makes me sad/glad knowing that TFC and I are the same in a way. I like mining, caving, minestafts and doing MC the basic way with little redstone farms, all the manual ways are the way I like it. We were both in our 50's (54 for me, 52 for TFC) when we started this wild journey. I am now 64 (65 later this year). And I can't see myself leaving MC or my server for a long time to come. But its sad to know that TFC was cut short from his love of MC. I will miss him. 😢
It sounds like TFC was a huge cheerleader for Hermitcraft and what it stands for. Even if he wasn't a part of the mainstream Hermit scene, he was all about it and stood by it. Major respect for TFC even though I have not seen much of him, I am deeply sorry for his passing.
Thank you for this video x hope all is well with you and all the other hermits
I can't help but to love the way humans love. Whether it be candle or picking up a pickaxe in his honor, humans love so beautifully.
I didn't know much about TFC as I just found him in season 8. I enjoy watching all of the hermits videos and all the crazy builds and redstone they do. I really enjoyed TFC's content because it was more like how I played. It felt more relatable to me. I also love mining. I get on MC and catch myself spending hours just strip mining. Although I enjoy the other hermits videos their builds are way out of my legue. I tend to watch them and get a bit frustrated with myself when I can't build anything close. Then I watch a TFC video and realize it doesn't matter. Just play and have fun. So that's what I do, i go and build some simple things and mine as much as I can. I'm definitely going to miss TFC's uploads.
You've managed to articulate my thoughts exactly.
I can't believe it's already been a year since TFC passed away. I very much miss him a lot still to this day.
He was the truest of Hermits as he toiled his way through the countless mines he dug out.
My favorite season of his was season 6 when he decided to make a Fallout Vault.
RIP a legend
TFC reminds me of one of my friends, he always mined and was the luckiest miner out of all of us. One time, he tried mining in my mine and immediately found diamonds. Even though we rarely saw him outside his mines, we all were happy whenever he joined.
Rest easy, TFC.
only time i watched TFC was back in season 6 when demise was happening on the server, loved how he just embraced the trap and started to laugh instead of trying to escape or anything. kinda sad he's gone now, liked to watch his videos every now and then
I love how mature you are always, your method of grieving is imo really good as long as you are self aware that you are doing it
side note, idk if you are into philosophy but you would do really well in understanding concepts and thinking through, and I think you would like really delving into it as well
Really liked that comment Xisuma made. I think about how I think. I analyze myself. Probably too much. Lol but I think that’s how we grow.
I haven't watched much of TFC but my favorite memory of him is from Demise. He fell into a lava trap and had ample time to save himself, but he spent the time laughing because it was a good prank. He seems like a wonderful man and he will be missed ❤️
What I love most about Hermitcraft is the social interaction. Even tho TFC rarely showed up in other hermits videos, I cherished those few time I got to see him interact with others.
Such a sweet grandpa vibe, joking around and not afraid of sharing his old man laugh.
Thanks for the story about how he joined X, loved it.
I remember when he joined the Hermit’s at first I couldn’t get away with watching his game play, but after a few episodes he grew on me and I enjoyed watching him after a while. Literally an old school player with his own old school gameplay!!!
Rest in peace TFC. I will miss your uploads…
RIP TFC, may you Rest In Peace in a better place, fit for your amazing life and stories to share.
One of the things I like about watching TFC was that put into perspective all of the crazy stuff that is always going on.
I remember a few episodes of season 8 when he went to buy in botem and since he didn't had wings or knew where everything was he wander around trying to figure out what he can buy. Seeing all of the builds from his perspective was really fun.
Rest in peace TFC, best wishes to his close friends and family ❤️
I really appreciate hearing your honesty on how you're handling this situation. We're here for you and will support the hermits in whichever ways you all choose to grieve and commemorate.
TFC was so special, he was one of those people whose energy is incredibly hard to replicate, it was fascinating to watch him, soothing yet funny and witty and just special.
We love you tfc, you're always be in our hearts and memories
I was introduced to TFC while looking for Thaumcraft tutorials, which I still go back and watch once in a while. There is an old proverb that states, "When an old man passes a library is closed." and I feel that statement is particularly true for TFC, he had so much knowledge and life experiences. I will forever be thankful that he chose to share some of that with us. Rest well old friend.
Thank you X. I don't know why the passing of TFC hit me so hard. It did. You helped me with your sharing today. Thank you.
"I'm a very self-aware person; I think about how I think". Dang yo. I've always had that sense about you but I could scarcely have said it so succinctly as that. Much love.
Your story about TFC telling you how proud he was and supporting you all in a time of hardship really warmed my heart. I already try to genuinely tell my friends how much they mean to me, but hearing this story and how you still remember it dearly and how much it helped you inspires me to talk to my friends like this more regularly. RIP TFC.
well, today I learnt the way I deal with grief isn't so strange after all, thank you for sharing that, X
rest in peace, TFC
What I think I love the most about TFC, was how calm the guy was.
He was such a relaxing guy to watch.
And the funny part of him being so rich but no one ever noticed.
Remember people calling scar the richest in season 6, meanwhile TFC had double chest of diamond blocks, because he just liked to mine.
I didn't watch hermitcraft season nine, I only just recently started it again and so I was binge watching to catch up, I found out TFC died when I was watching grian. I had always had respect for the older hermits, and TFC was always one of the best, he always seemed like he would be around for longer, Its so wierd seeing him only having 4 videos on hermitcraft 9, and knowing there will never be anymore.
One of my favorite tfc moments was when he flew higher and higher with his elytra until he landed in a sky block world.
Pretty interesting to learn how TFC joined hermitcraft and some fond memories you have of him.
Long live the oldest hermit! He will ALWAYS be remembered! One of my favorite hermits.
I didn't really know TFC but the way the Hermits talk about him makes me so emotionall. He seemd like a good man. May he rest in peace.
It’s nice to hear that I’m not the only person who thinks about my own thoughts. Whenever I react to something sad, rather than just have a mental response, I think about how I am mentally responding. It’s kind of weird in a way.
when i was growing up I used to spend time with my older brother watching him play single-player games. so I enjoy peaceful let's plays that capture a similar vibe. TFC's pace was perfect. some people these days aren't used to his type of video editing but it really captured that "we're here just chilling playing games" energy. rest in peace TFC
I may have never watched any of TFC's videos or his content in general, but I've been looking into what he did on the Hermitcraft server and watching collabs of him with other hermits. I've gotta say, it is sad I didn't get to know about him sooner. I knew he was a hermit and had been on Hermitcraft for many years, but just realised how much I missed out on. He seemed like a great person and hermit.
Rest in peace TFC, you will be missed.
He was a real sage, doing his thing, giving advice. He didnt pass, he ascended.
To think its already been almost 2 years is crazy... I miss the guy quite a bit even though I only started watching him at the start of season 9.
I stopped watching youtube for 6 months, and come back to this. he reminded me so much of my grandfather and it’s a lot. thank you for talking about this :’)
Thanks for this. Been a fan of TFC for a long time. Rip in the branch mine in the sky…
Now if I think about him for more than a few moments I come back and watch some of the videos like this. Soon I'll have the strength to watch all of his past seasons that I never had the chance to, since I've only been a fan since the middle/end of season 8 and didn't even watch completely regularly, just saw him and loved him. But for now, I'll just watch and rewatch some of these, and maybe cry a bit.
I wasn't TFC's biggest fan, but I'll always remember when he was killed in the Hermitcraft Hunger Games. He interacted with a bookstand, died to a trap and laughed his head off.
Rest In Peace TFC.
X, I understand completely about the compartmental grieving; what you described puts what I felt when my uncle died into better words than I had. You may have become the greatest SMP out there, but please, all of you, don't put what you think we want to see ahead of what helps you enjoy what you do. Seeing how much you enjoy playing the game, and just spending time together, means far, far more than any manufactured entertainment ever could.
It was always so calming just watching him mine and talk, when I couldn't sleep and my anxiety was going nuts it was something to focus on. I was struggling with PP pain and anxiety, last 3 years has been hell personally, you know he understood pain and everything that comes with it too.
You have to be kidding me, first technoblade now TFC we are losing so many legends, My condolences to both of their families. Rest in peace legends.
Edit:
And now the bloody queens gone, 2022 is not doing anyone any favours
The year of the dead minecraft youtuber. RIP o7
All I can say is I hope I'm not next, and that nobody else passes
And now the Queen aswell...
@@swedenisthemotherland3952 Yep not looking good this year
Thank you for the stories about TFC, truly. He seemed like such a grounded individual, and one with a great sense of humour. I greatly enjoyed his videos and his everlasting delight at seeing the builds and shenanigans the rest of the Hermits got up to as he wandered around on those intermittent sightseeing tours he took.
Everyone grieves differently, for sure. Sharing stories of the person being mourned, and of their interactions with others and the world, can often help people process at least some of the complicated (and uncomplicated) feelings they may have. They may also provide some comfort, especially to his loved ones, as the stories illustrate what TFC meant to so many others.
Thank you for making this video. I didn’t realize exactly how much TFC had impacted me until he passed, but I can look back through all of my Minecraft worlds and see inspiration from him, and I even notice him here and there in the way I speak, and the way I think. It’s truly incredible that even with the limited interaction I had with him, he affected me so much. I have so many great memories of him, but you have so many great memories with him. That’s such a truly special connection with a truly special soul.
We love you X, and we love you too, TFC.
The grief hit me very hard when I found out. I can only imagine what it is like for those who knew him outside of his content / on a personal level. My heart goes out to his family and friends and everyone who knew him.
Rest in peace TFC.
even after months the worst part is seeing random people try to rage bait off of this tragedy. if you look at his last video, you can see people leaving comments every day along the lines of "skill issue. xD" or "i always thought he should have retired earlier, i guess life made him lol." and i just dont understand how some people can be so disrespectful. anyways, i just wanted to leave a comment that he isn't forgotten, and never will be o7
Best thing to do is pity those people. Something must be wrong with them for them to do that
In the S9 world download, in TFC's mines, there are some beautiful tributes to him from the other hermits.
Thank you so much for sharing your memories of some of the moments you shared with TFC.
The death of a friend or loved one affects people differently and we all react to it in our own way. But there is usually someone to step up and organize some kind of memorial service to honor the person and give people a chance to celebrate them and say farewell or see you on the other side. Do we want to go most would say no but we do out of respect and to give their family support. I wish I could have been able to do that for TFC. I thought it was a big deal Hermitcraft lost their one true Hermit. I felt like TFC deserved it. So thank you again Xisuma for this video from someone who started watching one Hermit about 6 years ago to watching and loving all Hermits. Someone said to me once "oh your a minecraft fan" and I said no I'm a Hermitcraft fan. And always will be. Rest in Peace TFC
I searched up TFC looking for “Team fortress Classic”
I did not expect to be feeling sad for someone i never knew
TFC were quite unique, among Hermitcraft members. I'm sorry to hear he's no longer with us, and I really appreciate the short histories about him.
wow, i just found out about TFC death just now. i dont really go on twiiter or watch hermitcraft like i did when i was younger but this just popped into my reccomendation... RIP TFC
RIP TFC. His laughter and his style of videos on the Hermitcraft server brings an rather chill commentary to the goings on on the server, a stark contrast in pace compared to the other hermits. I will miss him
TFCs season 3 eyeball is so iconic. Having started watching in season 3, it’s the first build i think about when i think of hermitcraft. RIP TFC
I was watching a video recently that said something along these lines.
Each person grieves uniquely, because each person has different memories of any given thing. If you cherished something, your grief for when it is gone is stronger. So even if others don't grieve the same amount as you, everybody's grief is valid.
Xisuma, if you grieve the way you do, that's normal, natural, and okay. Same to everyone else. You're all beautiful.
I just found out today that TFC passed away 1 year ago. I had stop watched Hermitcraft since the end of season 6. RIP the OG.
Thank you for sharing these memories of TFC, I think it’s been a difficult boundary for a lot of us to navigate....respecting that the Hermits have a special relationship with eachother and us, as viewers, feeling as though we are a part of that as well and wanting to share these moments with you all. 🤔🥺
An Older Gentleman taught me minecraft almost 10 years ago and him and I loved TFC. The love for this game is one I share with both my kids now. Rest in peace sir.
I only discovered him this season. He was a hard man to find
I’m sad I only found him last season, but since I found him I always watched his vids and went back to watch some older ones too, truly sad and didn’t expect to happen so sudden
When and if this season is ending, it could be lovely to close off the season with a joined branchmine session. RIP Tfc
Thank you for sharing that, Xisuma! I remember for a while I was one of the ones getting really annoyed and almost angry over bringing up TFC and why other hermits weren't involved with him as much as they were everyone else in the server. Several tried to push that there should be more on-camera involvement with TFC because it felt like he wasn't being treated equally. ... then TFC said that him being by himself is his choice and is how he's played for a long time. The others hermits were more than happy to help him if he ever needed it, but he wanted to do things a lot of the time himself. Even brought up saying that he was a hermit in the truest sense. He just did his thing every day on his own and was completely fine with it.
i wasnt a regular viewer of tfc or hermitcraft in general but i keep up with it and i really enjoyed his content. Rip king rest easy
Rest in peace TFC, he will be greatly missed. Everyone griefs differently so thank you for letting us grief in your comment section and if any of you guys need to take time off for themselves the comunity will understand ❤️
I started watching Hermitcraft in the middle of season 3 and remember that giant eye!
I'm glad to know he made an impact on the people who knew him. Thank you for sharing your story.
I first discovered TFC because of Demise in season 6 of Hermitcraft. He became one of my favorites because his grouchy rambling reminded me of my late father. I still can't think of TFC without crying, but I know that grief is a weird thing when it comes to loss and feelings over time.
He will always hold a place in my heart.
RIP TFC- The one true Hermit. ❤😭❤

I'm really grateful that TFC was a part of Hermitcraft. Its cool to hear how active he was in the group meetings we don't get to see that much of. We tend to take for granted having older folks in our lives but even into our 20's and 30's, like most Hermits are, having strong relationships to those who've lived a bit more life is still really grounding. I love that TFC was the Hermit's cool uncle down in the strip mines. He will be missed.
