Laugh at me

Joe is one of two people who have been wholly in charge of hermitcraft (Joe's reign as dictator lasted for the duration of time it took to confirm all the decisions for the start of season two, after which he stepped down)

Joe wrote hermitcraft fanfic (as part of a video) long before many hermitcraft fanfic writers got started

Joe led a one man, multiple day protest outside record label Warner Chappell for ruthlessly copyright striking Mumbo and putting his channel in real danger

Joe's channel music is a mix of original songs and parodies created in collaboration with his cool as hell sister Quinn Hills (hi Quinn if you're seeing this). She has a cat called Blair Witch, writes fantastic music, and is a vocally trans artist

Joe has consistently featured guest speakers in his streams or videos over the years, whether that be pathfinder writers, activists, or community members coming in to help offer viewpoints on his builds

Joe has admin permissions on hermitcraft (usually to his own detriment in accidentally clearing his inventory) and is a member of the hermitcraft "secret council" (as Cleo put it), who are the people who regularly turn up to meetings and do some actual admin and decision making

Joe and Cleo first met when they were challenged to fight to death by Vechs. Joe won the fight and then Cleo stabbed him in the back for vengeance. They both made overdramatic videos to prepare for this

Joe thought hermitcraft was a scam when he was invited a few weeks into season one (as a wildcard member)

Joe used to be part of the team who made the webcomic Jaque of All Blades and got his streaming start doing art streams.

Joe is also one of the authors of the Penguins and Pitfalls TTRPG, which he developed as part of Team Snow Day (TSD)

Joe pays all of his staff fairly for their time and classes blazing posts on Tumblr (especially for the mcyt sexyman competition) as marketing so that the IRS can see he's running a real business, not a fraud scheme

Joe's webcam expands on stream in response to tips. It moves from the hot bar into the Jhost (with the mandatory Jacob Marley chains bit) before growing larger and more transparent until he is gone. Once the Jhost is fully expanded, the beetlejhost comes out (with the suit and the webcam expander song). Once we max out beetlejhost, we get Joemez Addams (who wears a different suit)

Joe is one of only two hermits to have played every hermitcraft season (although he missed a lot of season 3 with a newborn baby to look after)

Joe's coup was responsible for getting mumbo added to the server. Shortly after, he suggested in a meeting that no members under the age of 18 should be admitted. Mumbo, 17, kept very quiet

happy birthday to @joehills! here's to many more years of creativity!

This is always a lovely event by a lovely group of people each year for a super great cause. This jersey is gonna be well-loved and worn (hopefully) for years to come, much to the horror of those of the collectors type. I donated over $500 for this, I am gonna wear it! /lh

Thank you for all the years of joy, Hermitcraft. I am able to finally pay it back alongside our amazing community during this event. Many years watching, first time finally being able to donate. Go big or go home, right? (this is a joke of course, even if it's $1 it means a lot to see <3)

It's Make A Terrible Comic Day, tho i messed up and called it Draw A Bad Comic day.
