the show is mighty machines, a show that explains how machinery works from the pov of the machines! my favorite episodes were always the steel mill and the newspaper press :D

i can see some of the littles on hermitcraft who enjoy machines and redstone getting really really excited about the show!

These are some shows I think little!hermits would enjoy that come from my childhood (2010s PBS & Qubo shows mostly)

Pearlie (Qubo show about a garden fairy): Very popular with Lizzie and she did make Pearl watch it with her. It’s Australian and the main characters name is Pearlie, she had to.

Odd Squad (PBS): The most Zed childrens show to exist. The rest of the ZITS are a fan too.

Jojos Circus: Joel discovered it towards the end of s10 and might have become obsessed. While not a hermit, Shubble is also a huge fan of Jojos Circus

Wild Kratts: Insanely popular with the little!hermits. Pearl, Ren, False, and Beef are the #1 leaders of getting the others to watch it as well.

They all watch a lot of other things besides 2010s TV (personally that just what I know). There is definitely a lot of Disney movies watched (old and new) and Minecraft videos. They are all bringing things from their childhood, one thing they all bond over is Sesame Street because regardless of country or age, that show has been around.

Their banter always accidentally brings adulthood back to the surface, which is frustrating for all of them because they keep trying to have playdates.

The best solution they've found is to have one of them stay big and babysit because it gives their rascal energy a focus.

definitive list of what each of the hermits are with no resoning

biters: Cub, Doc, Grian, JoeHills, Ren, Scar, Joel

hair chewers: False, Gem, Zed

thumb suckers: Bdubs, Etho, Impulse, Jevin, Mumbo, Pearl, Tango, Xisuma

He's cheery and giggly as a little, very easily entertained by his friend's antics. He's also entertained by his own mischief, which doubles while small. There's nothing like seeing his friends react to his pranks or silliness.

Zits love how silly he can get, even if sometimes it means him spooking them or making messes. Sometimes during a good day, they can get him to tire himself out on giggles and make naptime easy.

This is good bc his overworker tendencies as an adult transfer over as a very restless and curious kiddo who Hates being told to stop what he's doing unless the new thing is equally or more interesting.

He's also extra sensitive. Poor baby cries easily. He's not big on cuddles unless it's with a stuffie or blankets, but he likes being picked up, even though big Impulse gets embarrassed by it. Lil Impy NEEDS positive reinforcement and delights over making people happy and helping, so naturally if someone gets upset with him, his whole day is ruined.

Grumpy baby Impulse comes about from: too much teasing, not enough sleep, things not working how he wants them to, etc.

Skizz and Tango are his "uncles". Zed isn't exactly opposed to the term for himself, but it does make him feel old. Skizz is actually fairly paternal about it, he can get protective over lil Impy- which Tango thinks is funny and endearing- but he IS still a best friend and as such is obligated to tease the little guy, albeit in a gentler way.

Joker (from jits streams) eventually is let in on it and he's more of an older sibling figure who is constantly encouraging Impulse's mischief. There's a bit going on where Joker also gets put in time out for things despite not being regressed himself, which everyone gets a laugh out of, and it keeps Impulse from always listening to his bad influence.

Putting off his regression like this causes it to build up in the back of his head until he can't do anything other than think about it, which only makes him sleep less and become more stressed about it all.

In order to get him to play along and trick him into regressing, his caretakers (usually members of ZITS) have to make it seem productive or tie into his theme for the season in some way.
