3rd Life - Blog Posts
Working on the pmv, hopefully i'll have it finished by the start of jan. Heres a little sneak peak in the meantime
Edit 29th December: I'm sorry but I won't have it finished by the start of jan, I'm goibg through a bit of art block :(
Pesky Bird
just a little silly drawing
So I’m making a Martin cosplay
And I don’t understand what’s supposed to be written on his vtuber as I want to implement it in the design. Here’s how it looks so far:
But I want to move the upper writing on the other side of the hoodie but I don’t know if that ruins the text.
I know that 3rd life's already been over for a long time, but I couldn't resist drawing heavy angst of my two favorite boys :)
I love this idea so much!
honestly I think it makes a lot of sense. I’m not too familiar with watcher lore but I think the watchers would be the type of people to do that.
Whisper into their ear “oooh so close!” every season, “if you tried just a little harder maybe that would be you.” That cruel reminder being ever present with each and every season they place so close yet so far to being the victor, never failing to give them those bitter feelings each time memories resurface.
they’d probably take enjoyment out of the feelings they bring out in those 2nd placers, I think. probably so much more fun than tormenting the winners
Random thought by my tired, emotionally exhausted brain. Because when I'm hurting I'd rather inflict angst and pain and suffering on characters instead.
Life series AU where the losers' past failures literally come back to haunt them. A new game starts. But things aren't quite right. All the losers are being stalked by echoes of their past red lives. Like the snails, but they can be killed. But not for long. They just keep coming back no matter how many times they die. Night after night. And the closer someone came to winning, the stronger the echoes are.
The winners don't have any echoes. Winning a game brings the echoes together and merges them so they're whole again. People that consistently place low, like Jimmy or Mumbo are relatively fine since their only echoes are relatively weak. But there's no rest for people like Impulse and Ren, where the echoes are fed by the "so close" of a 2nd place. Their's are strong, bloodthirsty, and never, ever leave them alone. And they're angry over their failures.
Does it make sense? Probably not. But oh well. I'll scream to the void of tumblr anyway.
the most yaoiful (i miss them)
close ups under cut and also something stupid
inneed life series mutuals. explodes
Happy 4 Years 3rd Life!
It is no small thing to say it irrevocably changed my life
I'm back on my bullshit
"Hand, rise."
Martyn stays as he is, knelt at Ren's feet, forehead so low as to almost be touching the ground and leaning on the sword that he balances precariously on its edge in front of him.
"Hand."
Ren's voice is so close, so tantalisingly near, and every inch of him craves to stand, to bask in Ren's stare and take his rightful place by his side.
Martyn does not dare to lift his head.
"Martyn," his king's voice cuts through the overwhelmingly tense stillness. "Look up."
Ah, a command. That he can obey, and Martyn does, slowly raising his head as his eyes stay firmly planted to the ground.
"Oh, Hand," and a finger lovingly strokes his cheek, "what has happened to you?"
While I've been gone, goes unsaid. Finally, Martyn raises his eyes as well, meets his king's gaze, his king, his king—
And he breaks.
Feels his face contort and shoulders start to shake as big, ugly sobs rip through his chest, soundless at first and then unbecomingly loud as he tries and fails to catch his breath. His king's image swims before him; he tries to blink past it, fails and remains gasping, shuddering, curling in on himself with the force of his love, his joy, his boundless, agonising sorrow.
It's a shameful, pathetic display. By all rights, he should be instantly cast away; if Ren kicked at him like an unwanted puppy and bid he get out of his sight, Martyn would fall over himself and break his legs in his haste to rid the king of his despicable presence.
But Ren reaches out, instead, takes his face in his hands, wiping at the tears that stain his thumbs. He graces his skin with all the gentleness of someone who is clueless as to the things Martyn's done in his absence, what he's become—
It's presumptuous and improper, and he does not deserve to kiss the ground at his king's feet, he knows—but he stumbles and grips Ren's wrist with both his hands, holding on, begging with the drowning he does in Ren's eyes to never let go, please don't let me go.
Ren kneels, as well, then. The hand that makes contact with his neck guides his head to rest on his shoulder; the other rubs his back. It's tender and more than anything he's ever known, more than his entire world, and Martyn is undone.
Oh, my liege, if you'd seen the things I've seen.
Ren holds him, and in the weight of his king's hand tangled in his hair Martyn can hear only Ren's whispered words of comfort and his own choked-off sobbing. There are no voices and there is no never-ending laughter; there is only them, as they should be, as they are.
For the first time since a tear ran down his cheek when he saw the arrow go through his king's chest, everything is quiet.
COSMIC LIFE
Grian: Sun (Grian = sun in Irish, plus the desert is sunny)
Scott: Stars (Starborne origin in Origins SMP, just generally fits the theme, the things around his head look kinda like stars)
Pearl: Moon (PearlecentMoon. It's in the name)
Martyn: Mars (Martyn means 'Dedicated to Mars'. Mars is the Roman god of war and Martyn won by fighting a lot)
Scar: Comet (Came second in 3rd life and has come back and won secret life, like how comits orbit(?))
Gem: Jupiter (Astrologically, Jupiter is the planet of luck (among other things), and Gem had very good beginners luck. The colour scheme also fits)
Jimmy: Pluto (hard to make aliances when you are always out first, and pluto is distant from the other planets. Not seen as the same as the rest, like Jimmy because he's always out first. Pluto is the Roman god of the underworld and Jimmy always(ish) dies first. Pluto is small and Jimmy is a toy (which are small). Small is also associated with weak and Jimmy is always out first which is associated with weakness)
Mumbo: Earth (Has a sort of grounding personality, 3rd out in SL, and earth is the 3rd planet from the sun. Also, mounders)
Cleo: Black hole (Black holes are scary and Cleo is scary. Black holes are also dead stars and Cleo is 'ZombieCleo')
Etho: Ether (Scientists in the 19th century believed the Ether to be a universal substance that made up the universe (or ssomething along those lines) tying into the fact that Etho had a big impact on Minecraft from the early game which is still prominant to this day. The theory was also made a long time ago tying into the fact that Etho started YT and his channel blew up earlier than most, and the fact that he is the OG Minecrafter.
Lizzie: Saturn (Married to Joel, and Joel is Saturn's asteroid belt/rings)
Joel: Saturn's asteroid belt (Married to Lizzie and Lizzie is Saturn)
Bdubs: Blanet (Stays around Cleo, who is the black hole. Blanets are also small and Bdubs is short)
Tango: Venus (Venus is the hottest planet. Tango's skin is fiery themed and most fans imagine his hair as being on fire)
Impulse: Pulsar (a pulsar is a small, dense ball of neutrons that sometimes happens when a big star dies. Beams that come from this pulse at regular intervals, like a drumbeat, and Impulse plays the drums. Also, Im-pulse, and Pulsar are similar, and Pulsar means pulse in Spanish (and some other languages) which is the last part of Impulse's name)
BigB: Event horizon (An event horizon is the point of no return from a black hole, and cleo and bigb's alliance was at a point of no return after Bigb's boogie kill. Event horizons are also round-ish like cookies)
Skizz: Meteor (Rushed in and got himself killed in 3rd life + last life, and meteors are rocks that get into the earth's atmosphere and sometimes crash into it)
Ren: Dark matter (Shadow alliance. He was also missing for two consecuitive seasons (LimL and SL) and dark matter is kinda mysterious)
This was worked on by me and various other members of the r/hermitcraft discord, and is also being posted here and in other social media platforms by several of us
A winner? Tied to the colour red and hearts? Trapped in a death game by an entity with eye symbolism? Idk who that’d be

Double Life: New Chaos Begins!
1/6 of my PearlescentMoon Double Life Thumbnail series for my illustration class. It was one of my final projects of the semester, so I’m excited to finally share it.
Each illustration is sketched with colored pencil, colored with watercolor and gouache, and lined with red ink. For this project, I focused on a different coloring and shading techniques. (I also wanted to highlight different story elements from each episode! So episode one showcases the ✨ nether ✨)
Little sketch that I'm working on
|• Grian from 3rd Life •|
(It was the first time in my life that I tried to draw a clutch pose and I am very proud of what I have done. It might not be perfect, but it's progress for my level. I also used the lasso tool for the first time)
it's just a game

Day 5: Sand (land)
Building practice, building practice! Minecraft builds are great for practicing perspectives and depth btw highly recommend :D
[ little note, I had a screenshot that for the most part I traced over for this. The main goal for today was perspective practice so I don't mind, but I also can't take full credit :) ]
Another one of @cherrifire's ditys completed! Enjoy c:
