Secret life ep 5 memes because why not

my gift to @rain-bow88 for the @esmp-gift-exchange! I drew the Seablings! I actually finished the piece a while ago, so though if I were to do it again now I would definitely do it differently, I also find it really fun to look back at how I drew just a few months ago, like a little art time capsule, and I’m really proud of the concept behind it!

As I said, I drew this a while ago, so I don’t entirely remember the thought process behind it, but the general idea is that I had been watching Jimmy’s pov of empires, and I was thinking it might be fun to consider why the music disc was so important to him, and the fact that he, a fish person, liked the sound of it, but everyone else found it weird, reminded me of stories where mermaids sound really amazing under the water but not so much in the air, so I had the idea that maybe it was the same song that Lizzie used to sing to him while she waited for him to hatch, but that it sounded unappealing to all the other emperors because they could only hear it above water. He couldn’t really remember where he knew the song from, but it was comforting to him (in my headcannons). Hopefully that makes sense lol, I think I’m explaining myself poorly. Idk, I hope you like it!

do you see the vision?

okay I admittedly have yet to beat echoes of wisdom. But i mean. It is too perfect. Princess Lizzie on the run with only her fairy companion for company, using her magic to defeat enemies in the name of rescuing some weird overdramatic rando with a sword from a demon. Also to stop the demon from destroying the world, but mostly the rescuing part. He left his cloak behind! It’d be rude not to return it! Anyway i want pictures of Spider-Man on my desk by morning meme but about desperately needing a fic of this. Joel being pathetic, Lizzie being badass, Joel being absolutely Whipped for this awesome magical warrior princess come to rescue him and Lizzie being like. “Uhh you forgot your cape. Here have it back. Goodbye! ^^” (again, haven’t actually beat the game yet lol) anyway yadayadayada they eventually get married and live happily ever after the end because happy endings make me happy. *Eleanor Shellstrop voice* CAUSE IM BASIC! (I know she would never say that i just can’t call anything basic without thinking of that show lol I’m getting off topic uhhhh)

This is for Han specifically (oh my gosh you have no idea how many tries it took to spell specifically lol). Shadowbeans marriage! I decided that they should both wear dresses because dresses are more fun to draw and also I kind of suck at drawing suits.

Sigh… I miss empires. Big fish wife and tiny clay husband.

silly thing I drew

This is them. To me.

I’m loving this session’s never-before-seen levels of Joel patheticness/silly

Between family man Joel and tuff guy Etho…it’s like they literally switched places from limited life lol

gh,,, shadowrot or shiny duo for the soul perchance .... (or a false symmetry if you're feeling special)

(if you're still doing recs ofc !! sorry mobile tumblr hates when i look at your page i haven't a clue why 😭)

Edit since the cut is in an inconvenient spot: all the stuff I tagged is there I promise guys just scroll down

Absolutely I am! Here’s shiny duo:

Shadow rot: (this one is still kinda a sketch lol)

and False!

Also because I’m really proud of it, here’s the shiny duo drawing without the background and stuff:

Anyway sorry it took me so long to get to these, but thank you for the reqs!

extremely late to the party but anyway here’s tal wife smol husband

I forgor Joel’s antenna oh well.

snail jizzie is real

this morning I started watching Agatha All Along, and you know what Halloween’s coming late this year! Rahhh!

They would walk the witches road with ease lol. This is just a silly doodle I did while I was watching. Honestly the main reason I drew it was because Down the Witches Road is catchy song

wishing everyone an extremely belated happy national dye your hair day! We’ve got all of our hair dye champ lifers celebrating the very serious and important holiday with a braid train except it’s actually a hair dye train.

Lizzie, just pick one and hop to it because Scott-with-his-roots-showing is deeply unsettling for unclear reasons. Also the reason Lizzie is dressed like that is because I headcannon that Joel got home from limited life and Lizzie was immediately like “the bad boys outfit is mine now btw”. Also Etho is paying literally zero attention to what’s going on. Also everyone currently getting dyed is wearing clothes they don’t care about as much or a towel to keep the dye from staining anything except for Joel because he can’t be bothered to change. Btw I know I’ve been falling off my bug Joel and glasses Etho game but im back, baby!

in other news I wasn’t able to go to the concert My Chem did cause it was on the literal other side of the country from me and I’m really sad like im gonna be whining about this for forever.

Something something esmp1

biblically accurate jizzie

I realized I hadn’t drawn Joel recently enough and was suffering from withdrawal like any normal person would, so I searched up smallishbeans and started scrolling through images looking for inspiration to draw, again like any normal person would, when I came across what is possibly the greatest picture to ever be taken

I failed miserably at capturing the look of pure joy on Joel’s face, or the look of absolute smugness on Lizzie’s, which is a shame. Someone more talented than me should redraw

she was a fish, he was shrek, how can I make it aaaanyy mooore ooobbvious? (Please tell me you get the reference please this barely makes sense in context)

I’m trying out a new brush and I am already sold.

So one of the most lore-indepth wildcards of Wild Life would be the superpowers that relates past seasons of the Life Series and acknowledges other series (eg. Hermitcraft and Evo) and their personal lore to attribute to each participant's power.

Starting alphabetically,

Bdubs power is essentially all related to time and his ability to manipulate the day cycle expentially. With the clock being his main motif across all Life Series, the ability to slow and speed time according to his will is easily solvable but with the inclusion of the Hermitcraft and Empires crossover event, his ability to speed time according to his sleep schedule becomes another layer deep. Besides the clock being a main symbol for Bdubs, the concept of sleep is another that has essentially been from the beginning of Hermitcraft. Always carrying a bed and sleeping whenever. The Empires crossover Bdubs was framed as a god of sorts of the Sun. Always bright and always there when the Sun remained as its brightest.

Bigb can summon creaking. He creaking. He is like a king or dimplomant to the players who invade their home and they view him as their kin so he has the responsibility and power to summon them.

Ethoslab based of Kakashi from Naruto is by definition a ninja. An escapee or fugitive at best. So with his ability to jump higher boosted by wind charges can be explained by his connection to the shonen series and the inclusion of the mace could be chalked up to typically stories of protagonists gaining resources or inventory to defeat the "Big Bad" or achieve some sort of goal that is to win the Life Series.

GeminiTay or GeminiSlay named by others intimidated by her, has slayed each participant brutally in the Life Series and on Hermitcraft rewarding her the reputation from her immense PvP skills. So with her power of astral projection, it acts retribution for the slayed to talk and apologise or instigate to those dead for her or others benefit.

GoodTimeWithScar is nortorious for being not PG friendly so the inclusion of one of his powers been the ability to ride people, it's self explanatory. Yet as Scar is commonly associated with and as a vex, his other powers of extreme knockback and thorns can be explained by the hostile and aggressivness of the mob.

Grian as essentially the grandmaster or orchestrator of the Life Series would have access to all the powers and mimic but not fully copy the others' powers. Yet because of his power chained by an omnipresent force, he's unable to fully copy the powers but imitate them for only short periods of time.

ImpulseSV and his teleportation powers could derive from his cyber-theme aesthetic for his Hermitcraft Season X base. With most series of fictions based around cyberpunk civilisations, technologies like teleporation and other advanced transportational devices are commonly utilsed. Resulting in Impulse's power of teleportation and the ability to swap the position of another with himself.

Martyn power is boosted hearing cause he's a Listener.

So Lizzie or LDShadowLady's inflicts blindless or a shadow upon the surrounding people in her radius and resulting her in temporary invisibility and blindess to others around her. But from her endless descent into the void in Secret Life, arises Lizzie with trails of the void clinging to grasp the light of the overworld. Causing the void remnants to spread to others and infect them with blindness in all for the hope to spread towards the light from the cold world of the End.

With the ability to fly, PearlescentMoon carries aesthetics relating to Greek mythology in both her powers and external design choices. As one of the Postmasters of Hermitcraft, Pearl is essentially the builder and additional redstone help of the trio for the postoffice and other aesthetic designs. Hermes the herald or messenger of the Olympus gods delievers messages to other celestial dieties and mortals similar to Pearl's jobs as a Postmaster. Other than the similar professions, both Pearl and Hermes wear a petasos which is essentially a wide-brimmed hat that is commoly adorned for shade and for Hermes, additional wings to the sides of the hat. Symbolising their shared ability to fly quickly and efficiently for a purpose.

As RentheDog is commonly interpreted as a dog-hybrid of sorts by the Hermitcraft and Life Series community, his ability to splice and copy the DNA of others to match their appearance could be an aftermath or positive side-effect from his hybrid mutation.

Similar to Ren, Scott has the capability to transform into any mob in sight and similar to Limited Life where he was depicted as a siren as part of the Mean Gills. His ability to shape-shift into any mob regardless if it's passive or aggressive could be similar to his mutliple origins from New Life SMP and Origin SMP and the reflect the changing nature of his powers.

So Joel with essentially triple jump could be hinting his slimely origins of his Shrek skin in the swamp. Where the swamp generally spawns slimes at a higher rate than other slime chunks and slime blocks harvested from the slimes can be used as jump boosts. Resulting in the triple jump.

After just breaking the Canary Curse two seasons ago, SolidarityGaming or Jimmy has the power to turn fully invisible until someone or something damages him. Ever since his debut to the Watchers back in Evo, Jimmy has been under constant surveillance by the Watchers as an object of their amusement. Always failing to reach even the finale and fumbling to keep alive. Yet when he broke the curse and relayed it too another, he was discarded. Seen invisible to the Watchers as he had become an object of boredom by reaching his resolution. So that's where his invisibility comes from.

Tango with his cowardly approach to things, has constantly ran away from situations but with this power, it supercharges his speed allowing him to become part of the fight and conflict instead of running away. And with his ability to frost-walk on ice, it could recall his Season 9's skin back when he was the Dungeon Master in Decked Out II and became an icy persona.

ZombieCleo and resurect dead people as she's a reanimated zombie.

Theorious and Headcannous Pt. 15

So this Life Series theory is that Gem's and Lizzie's substitution as Cleo and Pearl respectively were a sort of testing by the Watchers for new contestants in Limited Life.

For some context, in session six, Limited Life, ZombieCleo and PearlescentMoon were unable to participate in that particular session and so GeminiTay and LDShadowLady substituted for them resulting in many shenanigans and deaths.

So this theory basically stems from the fact that both Gem and Lizzie become participants in the next season of the Life Series with Lizzie returning for her second season and Secret Life being Gem's first official season.

Through the amount of bloodshed, betrayal and overall chaos harvested throughout Limited Life, the Watchers decided to run a small experiment. To test new contestants without any context and transport them to the confined world of Limited Life and see how well they would adapt and generate chaos that the Watchers could feed of. So then these two subjects were Gem and Lizzie who sprouted and developed seeds of chaos by Gem being the Canadian gremlin she is and Lizzie with the Grian kill.

The Watchers deemed their presence worthy to summon them to the next installment of the Life Series, Secret Life.
