Just don't turn on the video semblance. GAF participated with the video turned off last time.

[Semblance]

Oh alright.

[Zortegus]

Or you can just put a plushie in front of the camera. We had a plush party last time.

[Semblance]

I do have a Spongebob plush.

I just spent ages wondering what GAF stands for. I decided it must mean 'God-Awful Face'

On November 7th, 2008, Hermes created his account on 667 Dark Avenue. He made his first post the following day. Although the 7th was when he officially joined 667, he lurked on the site for some time, but didn’t feel qualified to join because he hadn’t read the Unauthorized Autobiography.
Hermes completed an online quiz to see which A Series of Unfortunate Events character he was, and wasn’t too surprised when he got Klaus Baudelaire. He also described himself as a Ravenclaw.
He took part in all of the 667 Re-Reads, and had very notable comments on the series. Hermes was often called Dante’s rival, their ideas of the Snicket books colliding regularly. In more recent years, when disproving theories, Hermes would say he “put on his Dante hat.”
On June 9th, 2012, Hermes was given the title “Head of Birthdays”, for his dedication in making birthday threads. During December of 2018, Hermes became co-moderator for Bothersome Birthdays, which is currently named Menacing Miscellaneous. He was also given the custom title “Birthday Beaver”. Later in 2020, he became moderator for Our Wicked World, and became the only moderator for Bothersome Birthdays. Hermes was appointed as moderator for The Ravaged Resources, and The Burdensome Books on March 1st, 2021. He stepped down as moderator for Menacing Miscellaneous and Our Wicked World, later in the same year.
Hermes was the host for the 2020 Darkies, which was given the name The Germies.

Thanks for organising this. He definitely made a big impact on 667.

That's an amazing post, Semblance, thans for doing that. I still can't believe he's gone :/

[Songbird]

Wow- I saw someone post on Facebook and I'm in shock. Hermes was a valuable member of this community, I'm so sad that he's no longer with us. May his spirit live on in this forum and my condolences to his family.

[Uncle Algernon]

I am afraid I can't make it to the Zoom thing — nor would I feel, somehow, that I belong there, spotty and comparatively new as my involvement in this community has always been. Nevertheless I am greatly saddened by this new and offer my condolences to all who knew Hermes, on- and offline.

The zoom has already happened, but just for future reference, they aren't exclusive at all, anyone is welcome regardless of how long you've been a member here

Sorry I haven't really said anything about Hermes, I just don't know what to say. Other than I hope he didn't suffer or was in any pain.

I took these pictures in October of MisterM enjoying a joke with Hermes while eating his wedding cake. I was also eating cake, but behind the camera. I wish I knew/could remember what they were laughing about. It's weird to think they might be the last pictures of him taken.

(I had MisterM's permission to share them, but put them in spoiler tags for obvious reasons).

Thanks for sharing the news. He was a big part of this forum! And it's so very lovely to see his face in those photos.
