symbolism can be whatever you want it to be and now that theres 7 life series we can make the winners deadly sins if we want. heres my proposition:
grian: pride (vibes) scott: sloth (laid back in most seasons) pearl: envy (towards the other soul pairings) martyn: gluttony (time is delicious) scar: greed (seashells on the sea shore) cleo: wrath (die for me) joel: lust (hes gonna fuck that car)
This is my part in the @flowers-in-the-desert-fanzine !!! go check out the other artist in this aswell !!!
Close ups :
BONUS ! i made a tiktok from this
are we really surprised, though, that scar obeyed grian's order?
of course scar gave his heart to grian; as if it ever belonged to anyone else. because that's how the two of them work: scar goes in looking to take, but somehow, inevitably, impossibly, he always leaves with his heart torn out and his hands empty, removed of the cards he keeps up his sleeve.
grian strips scar down to his barest, most vulnerable form. the most haunting part of it all is that scar, in his endless devotion, is always happy to do it. scar gives grian his heart, again and again, because was it ever really even his?
the hermits fucking hate dream's ass btw like they do not like him and you should be embarrassed if you think otherwise
Loving the newest season of the life series so far. Loving the group-ups I think this is going to be a ridiculous and probably traumatic season…also loving how everyone looked at the teams and immediately went, ‘I love this group of people together, absolutely nothings going to go wrong here!’ TO EVERYSINGLW ONE!! I AM DYING😭
(Also also, Grian knowing the wildcards is sooo…watcher of him)
Avid ao3 readers wouldn’t have fallen for it
(it’s me, im avid ao3 readers)
Average bodyguard/client relationship, nothing to see here (<- is what Skizz grumbles while pushing paparazzi away)
@mochiwrites 's lovely lovely au. Cropped versions under the cut <3
musk is going to die in a Tesla explosion in 6 months after sticking his nose where it doesn't belong and we will never get a conclusive answer on whether it was a CIA car bomb or just a normal Tesla malfunction
on grian's "that's how little that board meant; i was in good favor" line:
i don't think grian forgot about his 0 and frowny face, i think it just didn't matter to him. think about it: he's been sleeping in scar's bed. he spends so much time in the bamboozler's base that it takes a solid 30 seconds after he respawns there for any of them to register his presence as Wrong. he and scar have been taking jabs back and forth, yeah, and he knew about his score on the reputation board, but...
grian also knows that scar's actions will always speak much louder than his silver words. he knows scar, knows how he operates. not just that, but he knows first-hand how baseless and inconsequential every line on that board on monopoly mountain was in the end. scar's words have never meant anything, and grian knows that. you can't trust a thing he says, but his hands and his eyes don't lie; at least not to grian. that's what he was thinking about: the desert and the love it held

Do you ever think how in the third life finale grian was so mad after becoming red and ready to get vengeance but the moment scar answered with "you can kill me" he immediately folded? Any bloodlust, any anger, any feeling of betrayal just gone as fast as they came which is insane considering grian is freshly red
