Happy STS! What's an aspect of your WIP that you know about, but probably aren't going to explicitly talk about in the story?
Happy STS!
Ooooh, good question. Hm...I probably won't go a TON into detail about the religious system? I've got characters who are believers, but I probably won't go into a lot of detail about it, since I know for myself as a reader, that often bores me.
Thanks for the ask!

How does being/becoming a guard like Orion work? Whats it like?
There isn’t really an official process for most Watcher roles; some Watchers just specialize into a specific skill (most commonly with Constellations) that suit them to perform their role. Specifically, Watchers like Orion and Vela have built their abilities around fighting and hunting/tracking beings down, so they’re just naturally the Watchers that are called when that needs to be done.
The only “official” role is Archivist. Archivist Watchers are specifically assigned to their job in manning the Archives.
As for what Orion does, as a guard it’s mainly to keep watch against any intruders, and/or keep any other curious Void creatures away. As a hunter, he searches out any being that a Watcher might be looking for, usually a Voidwalker (in conjunction with Auriga) or sometimes a human. He’s not always going for the kill; sometimes it just for the purposes of finding where someone is. It’s actually pretty rare for him to be chasing down and trying to capture a Watcher—Grian was definitely a special occurrence.
What about the minecrafters that were friends with argo navis in season 1? Howd they feel/what were they told when argo navis died/was split. Did he just disappear?
Most of them don’t know the truth. Argo Navis just told them that he wanted to cut ties, take a break from Hermitcraft, and pursue other interests, so as far as they know he’s just out there somewhere doing his own thing. If both sides aren’t putting in the effort to communicate, it’s not uncommon to completely lose contact with a Player.
I’m sure some Players did find the abrupt drop off in contact strange, but it’s not like they could do anything in the end.
Were Viole and Fish really just taking turns in winning those sparring matches? Biggest mystery in the whole fic I swear (nit rly I always think about it tho)
Mostly! It's not completely settled beforehand, but since both are fairly evenly matched, usually it gets to the point where the winner of the last match will kinda just be like "I'll just let him have this one" and loses. Sometimes one of them will be having a bad day and it will be a more legit win, but their record is more or less even.
If they actually fought each other seriously with intent to hurt or kill, it would be more of a stamina battle than anything else.
What do Watchers in training do for fun? Terra mentioned it was weird that Grian stayed in his room all day but what did they do instead? What do any Watchers do for fun?
Most Watchers in general spend their time in groups of 2-3, since after they become full Watchers they usually work in groups. (There are some exceptions, but those are usually special cases). For fun, they usually practice Watching things in the Void, fly around, or build things. Watchers in training generally live in a small world XD they don't really know of much else.
For most Watchers, their room is also more of just a storage space. Most summoning as it's referred to colloquially refers to when an item is constructed out of thin code on the spot. But with more specialized/specified things—for example, notes a Watcher might take in a class or about a world—summoning that is just teleporting the object from their room.
Watchers in training will sometimes study in their room, but most prefer wider spaces (like the Archives). So a Watcher constantly in their room is a strange sight.

If Hermitcraft was created by Xisuma and Argo Navis how did Generikb become admin in season 1? How’d they start getting players in the first place?
Both of these will be answered in the rest of Hiding in the Blue...when I finally get it done uhhhhhhhhhhh—hopefully soon. ^^||
But since they're not really spoilers for anything major...it's not like your Player name has to be your full name (if you even have one). A lot of Hermits use a Player name that only contains a part of their name, and there's Players like Joel and Lizzie with SmallishBeans and LDShadowLady whose Player names don't contain the names they use at all. Argo Navis did not use Argo Navis as his Player name.
As for how they got Players for Hermitcraft, it was a mix of making and then inviting friends and also just some ads here and there. Back when Hermitcraft was created (both in-curseverse and real life), SMPs as a concept were just starting out, so it would've been a lot more eye-catching then than a new SMP would be now. So some Players simply thought it was interesting and asked to join.
Okay, so Grian never Graduated. And sometimes it's mentioned that Grian isn't a fully-fledged Watcher (I think because he never Graduated?) Does this mean Grian is, according to Watchers, still a fledgling? like, according to Watcher customs/laws, Grian is a child, or something like that? Because that could be entertaining
In a manner of speaking, yes XD. Although Watchers (and Voidkind in generally) don't really give too much attention to age, and power is usually what determines respect. Generally speaking, any Watchers that haven't "graduated" and only have a single set of wings is going to be treated as lesser. Grian does happen to be young for a Watcher, but that doesn't affect the Watchers' treatment of him as much as the fact that he never got his second set of wings.
*crashes through door, breathless* TELL ME ABOUT THE MERMAIDS
Haha, YES, I am introducing mermaids into the Curse-Verse!
Mermaids are very much mer-invested, they rarely interact with humans. They have their own problems and don't feel like bothering to get involved with another species' issues. There are different tribes depending on where you live: Northern tribes, tropical tribes, etc. Typically the tribes stay separate and deal with their own territories. Honor is a Big Deal for them, so any outliers who break the laws are punished swiftly by the tribal leaders. If the rogue mermaid flees into another tribe's territory, the tribe first sends an emissary to inform the other tribe's leader, who will either hunt the rogue themselves or allow the rogue's people to take care of it.
The mermaids can take human form, if they want, but they have to get permission from their tribal leader/elders, and they have to have a REALLY good reason for doing so. If they transform WITHOUT the permission, they are basically considered dead and any return to the tribe will be met with a swift execution. They have a basic knowledge of humans and society, so when they DO go ashore they're easily able to blend in.
As humans, they appear mostly normal aside from being abnormally fast, strong, and observant. In their natural form, they have thick, muscular tails, scales all up their torso/chest/shoulders, a dorsal fin on their back, claws on their webbed hands, and two rows of sharp teeth.
This is all I've got so far! Thanks for the ask!
