I Get The Refrence And I Love It

The Canarys Curse, The Phoenixes Blessing, And their Vow.

CW: Death

Death wasn't a foreign feeling to a canary

The sounds of heartbroken screams and satisfied laughs and cheers were something it had grown accustomed to.

Part of it learned to find amusement in watching the others destroy themselves like a starving pack of wolves.

After all, it was when it was gone that the rest started dropping like flies.

That was the fate of the canary in a coal mine, an omen of death.

its demise was always a lonely one, it was the welcomer that had no one to welcome them to the pearly gates.

It just so happened that the canary and its soulmate would meet due to such death. 

But the canaries soulmate was a phoenix, a symbol of hope, of getting back up after tragedy.

When scarred men burned down their home, the phoenix stood their ground and fought. 

When the canary fell, the phoenix gave nothing but comfort.

The canary felt bliss for the first time in a while, someone who understood.

Until its, no, their demise.

This time, their demise wasnt a lonely one.

This time, they took the one who shared the curse, the phoenix.

The canary sat in disbelief and despair, a pathetic gloom that no one could see painted on his face. A Silent apology.

“Yup still dead” a sour response replied.

The 2 birds sat in silence. Watching the chaos ensure.

Then the phoenix spoke again.

“Your still here?”

“Its a destiny i'm bound to, and this time, so are you”

“Its over”

“Im aware”

“go home”

“Home? This is my home”

“What?”

“This is the only home I can return to”

“Once this is over, you wont be able to return”

“I know, ill cherish it while i can”

It was at this moment that the canary realized the phoenixes demands for him to leave as heartbroken rather then anger. 

A sorrow that the canary only knew from peering in from beyond the grave.

The canary stared at the phoenix as the phoenix tearfully ate a bite of his pancakes.

“Will we ever meet again?”

“Soulmates are forever” the phoenix replied, “we played the game and the universe might reward us”

“We will meet again, i vow it”

“Wait for me?”

“I shall wait til the end of time, with the thought of your warm embrace as my will”

“Well then….”

“See you then, Jimmy”

Life Series as Birds

I had the oddest sudden fixation to do some “light” bird research and determine that if each member of the Life Series was depicted as an avian, what bird would they depict. (may become a thread of changes)

So Grian is almost unanimously depicted as a Parrot, more specifically a Scarlet Macaw due to Season 7 “Pesky Bird”. As well as the birds sassy additude.

Same as Grian, possibly even more, Jimmy is commonly depicted as a Canary due to the Canary in a Coal Mine.

For Mumbo, I felt like the Northern Cardinal would be a nice fit due to its vibrant red and black coloring. Cardinals are also symbols of loyalty and devotion, rather fitting for someone who tends to be loyal to his allies. Cardinals are also often associated with passed loved ones visiting relatives in the form of Cardinals, which would fit seeing as Mumbo is usually one of the first out of the series.

Tango was actually the last one I chose, due to this, and an attempt to give each member a different bird, it was difficult. After some further research, I decided on the Whistling Kite for the reason that it's nicknamed one of Australia's "Firebirds" for their use of fire to catch prey.

Believe it or not, Impulse was actually the member who inspired it. Out of curiosity, I looked up Arizona's national bird and the Cactus Wren popped up and I could envision Impulse as a Cactus Wren with the browns and golden yellow with a nice touch of white.

As evident above, my first idea was looking up national birds. Despite being a small bird, The shade of grey that Canada’s national bird, the Grey Jay, has is similar to Etho’s minecraft skin hair color. Grey Jay's are also seen as a good omen, similarly to how people seem to gravitate towards Etho almost like hes a good omen or a good luck charm.

No matter all the birds I looked into, my brain kept saying Skizz for a Blue Jay. Blue Jays are associated with joy, happiness, along with some mischief, however, I would like to confess that I have yet to watch Skizz's pov of any of the seasons so i'm not as familiar with his personality as i am the others so if this choice seems uncharacteristic I apologize, but just imagine fanon Skizz with dashing sky blue wings.

Originally I was going to put Lizzie as a hummingbird because they are pollinators, small, and adorable. However, hummingbirds are green and im a sucker from “Small” Smallishbeans Joel. Not to mention how hummingbirds can sometimes be hostile with one another alot like how Joel tends to targets everyone regardless of who it is.

For Lizzie I decided a parakeet was a good choice for Lizzie because they're small, cute, and colorful. Parakeets are also very social and affectionate birds with lots of personality alot like how Lizzie is.

Parakeet was originally what I chose for Scott, but then I learned about Kenya’s national bird, the gorgeous Lilac-Breasted Roller which is perfect for Scott as it reminds me of his Empires Chromia outfit and all the beautiful things he creates. I mean LOOK AT IT!

For BigB, I decided to bestow him with my states bird, the Eastern Bluebird. Bluebirds represent joy, happiness, and luck. The Blue and orangish brown coat reminds me of Big B’s color palette of a blue sweater with a brown cookie on it. 

Cleo has high Great Horned Owl vibes and you can’t convince me otherwise. Symbols of protection and not tolerating deception. GH Owls are also super intimidating in their size and appearance, fitting for the cutthroat Cleo.

During all of this, I almost gave up on the opportunity for Martyn as a Woodpecker. No need for further explanation, but I'll give you the symbolism: Optimism, new opportunities, and creativity which matches Martyn. (Edit: IVE JUST BEEN INFORMED THAT THE WOODPECKER IS ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH MARS SO YAH)

Ironically enough, I decided Gem would make a good Barn Owl, their white coat and owls being a figure of wisdom reminded me of Gem's Empires Season 1 as well as her enjoyment of birch. Barn Owls are also good hunters to it fits her like a glove

I wouldn't give up the opportunity to choose a hawk for Mr. GoodTimesWithScar.The Hawk I chose is the Cooper's Hawk. But really I chose a random Washington state hawk that I thought suited Scar.

For our favorite crazy Aussie, only Australia's national bird will do. I believe the Emu suits Pearl well because one, its national bird, and two, Emus are one of the dorkiest kinds of birds and have a lot of personality (and thievery skills). 

For Ren, I almost went with the Peacock, but couldn't invision Ren as a Peacock, so instead of going the Royalty Route, I went the pun route. Ren…….as a Wren. A Musician Wren, Fitting for the Theater Nerd of the Life Series, no take backs.

For Bdubs, I went with the Orchard Oriole, A small bird that builds with, you guessed it, MOSS!

I might add on or talk about members as other birds and yah

THATS WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUT!!!!! (Refer to my post from yesterday)

Half hour sketch + dramatic stained glass = perfect vibe for art of an April Fool’s gag 😆 Congrats to the newest victor!

Now realizing that the Life Series has given me a hyperfixiation on birds and what they culturely represent. Which is like, the weirdest turn of events.

anyways, what weird interest has the Life Series/Hermitcraft given you?

my goal for S10 was to finally watch Stress (whos my birthday buddy)’s POV, Havent even made it to Ep 1.

the nature of being a hc fan is that one day you’ve caught up on all your povs, three days later you’re suddenly behind two episodes on everyone and have no idea what that new build is on people’s streams and there’s a new inside joke and a new hybrid design and a new duo name has popped up on twitter

“It was a cruel joke”

Bro literally said something so fucked up that people were regretting choosing Anglerfish.

(This is not a slander of the Nefarious Anglerfish/ uni.unagi)

The Final Round!

Justification

Jellie: She is a cute, attention seeking cat during scar's videos and streams. She has been a character in Minecraft since 2018

The Nefarious Anglerfish: I like them :) [Super cool!!!!] One of the best memes of 2023
