what if I drew the bad boys as that one photo of three out of four of the killjoys?

Bigb and Pearl voices because I think collectively they would be dr. Death defying : “Look alive sun shine! 109 in the sky…

*resisting the temptation to make a danger days au*

Hi guys! Good news, I hucked my broken pencil at a wall in frustration, and it un-broke itself (mostly…), so I spent many hours making a boat boys animatic. Bad new, I don’t know how to sync audio, so I just had to record my iPad and play the song on a separate device. Its really bad quality guys (big sad), but I still think the actual animatic turned out pretty well, even if it’s still in the sketching phase. Anyway, the song is I Was an Island by John-Allison Weiss, go listen to it it’s so hilariously boat boys coded I can’t. Anyway, disclaimer, this is all for sillys and giggles. Also beware the angst.

Theorious and Headcannonious Pt. 27

So only three episodes into Wild Life and already manslaughter has occured. Tying with Third Life and Double Life for first red, Skizz continuously returning to red three times and being only third to most deaths in a session to Limited Life at it's final two sessions. That's insane. Only an eleven death difference between session three of Wild Life to session eight, the final session of Limited Life.

With this amount of bloodshed and murder since Limited Life, the dieties starving from their fuel deprived from them are finally quenched through the chaos and dissary triggered by the dozens of deaths causing by the harbringers of death. From their prodigies who conducted multitudes of destruction and slaugher through every rendition of Third Life, the Watcher's hunger and strive to satisfy their bottomless appetite for chaos caused their need to be only alleviated. Fueled by the obessesion and excitment gained from the suffering of the contestants.

As with the current seasons arrives new plots and twists to the main gimmick and lore, Wild Life's new gimmick is that there is a new gimmick every session. Each session of Wild Life so far has tripled each death count and with the inclusion of each personalised snail in seassion three, deaths skyrocketed to THIRTY-SEVEN deaths. Each snail acting as an individual catalyst for the Watchers' addiction towards the demise of each participant. But this obsession would be the eventual end of the Watchers.

How long until the lives run out and the Watchers' only source of excitment and energy disappears. Their reliance and dependacy on the players is their downfall. After every game, every session the players understand and adapt to the Watchers' everygrowing starvation. It's until the last remains, the last game is won and their buffet is over. They only being able to fast on the legacy and memories trapped inside the minds of the scarred.

Yet the legacy and aftermath of the actions of the Watchers could be the reserved food source that can supply them with the lasting food source to continue watching and manipulating the stories of the damned and suffering. Session three, Skizz managed to return to red three seperate times. Slaughtering the other contestants to gain back his immunity and innoence from the blood of his allies. Through his actions, the Watcher's legacy is kept alive as the final food source. Through the memories and influence of the Watchers, they might not even be close to their end.

Thoeries and Haedcannons Pt. 26

So new Life Series brings new biomes, new teams and new skins that brings new lore to the participants of the Life Series. With the first episode of Wild Life been aired about a week ago, two new developments regarding two contestant's skin has been made. Specifically Pearl's new transistional skin change and BigB's cross-hybrid development into a creaking-esque skin.

Starting with BigB's skin changes, ever since the 20th of October where he began reposting artworks depicting him as a creaking reminiscence of his basing location in the Creaking Forest, a new skin has been released depicting his change to a Creaker. Changes from his original Life Series skin includes desaturated and greyscaled skin, inclusion of muted greens and oranges and yellow to highlight mainly his eyes and the creaking heart lodged between his right ribcage. Similar to the Creaking, BigB also does have striking similarities to the actual biome with the oranges possibly representing resin and eyeblossom flowers arriving to the biomes in the next drop. It would be fitting because quite literally, his right arm has turned into wood, possibly because of the creaking heart that has mutated his body to acclimate to his new enviornments.

Next, Pearl's new provisional skin that seems to be a transistional period between her Hermticraft Season 8 skin and her 5am Pearl persona. An unusual break in trend as generally she would use her Scarlet Pearl skin during the last few sessions of the Life Series. Well in her twitter post that first leaked her new skin on the 23rd, she was seen with Impulse in his classic Life Series skin that seems to be the west of their base according to rough estimates for the Wild Life map. She and Impulse are also seen with torches so it's a safe estimate that they're lighting the area to prevent other mobs from spawning in the heavily darkened forests near their and BigB's base.

It could be just a temporary change because the most recent wildlife that resulted in the first demise of the server, but that would still leave her with five lives. Far from yellow or even red lives range where 5am Pearl would essentially control Pearl's mentality and sanity.

But reasoning could run deeper than that. Ever since her introduction to the Life Series back in Last Life, Pearl dawns her Hermitcraft Season 8 skin with majority of the colours being subsituted for red and her eyes also gaining red highlights to signify her red-life status. This pattern of wearing her red-life skin was kept throughout every season up to Secret Life but Double Life where certain events occurred.

Specifically the severing of her bond with her soulmate Scott, during the first few sessions resulting in the formation of the Divorce Quartet and the beginning of her torment and rampage as Scarlet Pearl. Her pain further continued from the death of her dog Tilly, and causing others to view her as crazy and demented from her irrational behaviour. Her relationship with the other members of the Divorce Quartet continued to waver until endgame where they all teamed for the benefit of their individual survival. It was until the second icarnation of Tilly was burned by Impulse where Pearl began on a true rampage by slaughtering both Impulse/Bdubs and Cleo/Martyn. Eventually being crowned victorious after Scott sacrificed himself.

This carries into Wild Life where Pearl allied with the Divorce Quartet but with the abscence of Martyn and the addition of Impulse. So perhaps her transitional skin could be Pearl's reminder of her troublesome past with her quartet. But as a transitional period, her Scarlet phases only remain as a irksome reminder about what she could became isolated again. She's now surrounded with healthier support network with a new ancestor of Tilly being around as Billy and as well others like her allies who she reconciled with and Impulse.

These support networks could halt the reappearance of early 5am Pearl through the supportive and healthy relationships surrounding her.

Theories and Headcannons Pt. 23

So this weekly theory brought by yours truely recovered explores the journey and character development Impulse experiences throughout the multiple iterations of the Life Series. His passage throughout the five (technically six) canonical seasons stretches and continues Impulse's storyline and relationships dedicated to his allies, enemies, teammates and soulmate.

Beginning with Third Life, Impulse was often deemed as the betrayer and an informant for the Crastle against the Red Army. Severing the relationships built between the members of Dogwarts as the supplier and eventually eliminating the final life of an once fellow teammates Etho, during the finall battle of Dogwarts. Poetically, Impulse was slaughtered by his ally, who was offered a clock for loyalty and a guarantee into the finishing three. Finishing fifth, Impulse also seems to be short of conquering the other contestants and becoming victorous; a trend that carries across multiple seasons.

In the subsequent season, Last Life, Impulse joined Southlanders with an astounding total of five members but all the more potential for betrayal. Beginning as the scavanger for the Southlanders, Impulse was able to steal sugarcane from the Scottage and other bases thus disrupting the other teams' potential for a sugarcane monopoly. The tranquility between his team is soon lost in the later sessions where Mumbo proceeds to sabotage Impulse whilst visiting his ghast farm resulting in his yellow life lost and implosion of the Southlanders shortly after. Even with his band of brahathers, betrayal still lingered with Impulse and even with his teammates of his. The soulbounded otherwise known as the Canary's Miner (Mumbo).

The following season Double Life, bonded the participants into groups of two resulting in their health bar being shared across all the sessions. Impulse's randomised pairing was ironically with Bdubs, the trusted who backstabbed the betrayer. Past history aside, both contestants were the first soulbound to find each other establishing the bond and trust between them and managed to secure third place in the final battle against the Divorce Quartet.

The trails of betrayal still continue through Limited Life where in the stand-off between the final three opponments including Scott and Martyn and all three decided to find the victor with an equal solution. Instead, Martyn overcome by the bloodlust of time, first burnt Scott and then annihilated Impulse with his sword before he could recover from the shock of the broken treaty.

The subsequent and current (canon) season of the Life Series, Secret Life was the turnaround for Impulse's continuous promblem of betrayal plaguing him and his allies. Teaming with Gem and Scott, he was able to devote himself and keep a strong alliance that sustained his trust and their trust in him. This trust strengthened over the season until near the end of the season where both him and Scott sacrificed their yellow-life status to lengthen Gem's health.

Throughout the entirety of the Life Series, Impulse had been burdened by the trail of betrayal leeching onto him, his teammates and allies until it was finally gone. Slowly degenerating over the course of the following installments. His story and character development once etched with betrayal now only retain the tragedies of his doomed attempts to become an established victor.

MoRe ThEoRiEs & HeAdCaNnOns Pt 16

So this weekly theory stems from two crucial events in Double Life; when Grian revealed himself to his soulmate and perma-killed his secret soulmate with the same item, a stalactite.

Stalactites (and stalagmites,) accumulate into a conical shape when minerals are dropped onto the floor from ceiling dripings over thousands of years. Stalactites and in definition, stalagmites are a symbol of time and endeavour taken to produce something apprecipated by others.

So with the concept of soulmates and secret soulmates in Double Life, it's poetic that Grian announced himself to Scar with a stalactite and killed his secret soulmate, Big B with a drop from a stalactite.

During Double Life, Grian isolated himself from his soulmate, Scar as an attempt to avoid dangers and risks whilst also cultivating his "secret" relationship with Big B who was currently bonded with Rendog. The first instance of the stalactite being used was Grian after an episode worth of escapades, finally revealing his shared bond with Scar. This specific moments and the ensuing events involving Grian and Scar are basically watered down to Grian attempting to detach himself from Scar as a defensive mechanisim to protect himself from emotional and physical danger, because of the tragic events of Third Life.

Another instance and the most prominent use of the stalactite was Grian's final kill on Rendog and by definition, killing Big B. Severing his ties (his "secret" relationship) with Big B. Breaking the intricate bond cultivated throughout the sessions with a weapon fabricated over centuries. So that's the importance of the stalactite in Double Life.

Theories and Headconnans Pt. 12

So this theory is that Hermitcraft season 10 Scar and Secret Life Scar from the Life Series.

This thoery started during Scar's episode of building his nether portal that was equipped with deadly mobs as defense and joke mechanisim as an outlet for his destestment against nether portals. So basically the colour purple is often associated with nether portals and other dimensional portals but what also is associated with purple are the Watchers.

The colour purple dates back to Persian era as a symbol of royalty, suprege and superiority due to the intricate method to extract that colour naturally. And these attributes also fits the characterisitcs shown by the Watchers through canon or agreeded fanon events.

So the nether portal was the way (SL) Scar transported to Hermitcraft through the power of Watcher shenanigans hence the magicial properties and the physics-defying attributes the renovated (overworld) nether portal has. But the position the overworld portal is located suggests that the train has other plans for interdimensional trade but more of an attempt to rediscover the world that brought torture and anguish to his friends.

Another piece of evidence is his interaction with the other members of the Magic Mountain Crew and the mountain itself during the second meeting of the Magic Mountain Crew. During the meeting of excavating the volcano, Grian offered the idea of creating a "boogey situation" that has one person being killed every meeting on magic mountain. Scar (and the other members) encouraged this idea but also contributed the idea of sacrifices. Maybe like a sacrifice to cure some sort of bloodlust from Secret Life.

So maybe (HC 10) Scar is from Secret Life but he may be not but it can also be speculation.

Morious theories Pt.5

TW: Murder, Suicide, Influenced killing

So bloodlust in the Life Series is quite common and wellknown with the premise basically being that red-lives are splashed with this effect of a murderous rage to murder those around them. Regardless of their allies or opponments/rivals.

My headcannon or idea is that the only moment when Grian was enveloped or persuaded by bloodlust was during the final fight in 3rd Life. From the POV of Scar during the events of 3rd Life, it's inferred that bloodlust are more instinctual and a force of encourgement and the "kills" Grian committed, were more of an assistance and allyship to Scar.

Going more headcannon-omy, Grian's final fight against Scar had him receive an altered bloodlust as a final gift from the Watchers during that Life game. This kinda of bloodlust that would have Grian have tunnel vision onto escaping no matter how the deed is executed. In turn, killing his partner or ally, Scar, in his rampage for freedom but would end up trapping him. Until he ended his life to end his torment but also restart the cycle of the Life Games.

So basically Grian's only instance of bloodlust was during the final duel in 3rd Life against Scar where it was placed upon him by the Watchers as a final gift or punishment. That would result in him killing his ally.

:P that all for now.

Another Theory Pt.2

Not sure if this theory or headcannon about secret life already exists but here it is.

Since the Taskmaster is a varient or a job set by the high council of Watchers to a Watch as a job, they are conscious and give deliberate tasks to the competitors. These tasks were chosen to either play with the competitors' mind, alliances, etc which would inturn benefit or impact them.

So with this in mind, the tasks given to scar which forced him to play an antangonistic role in the games were a punishment intended for Grian for his "disobedience" against the Watchers. Through Third Life and the following Life Games, it was shown to the Watchers that Grian deeply cared for Scar. Doing what he thought was best for him by either pushing him away to protect him. And through Scar's villanous tasks, they (the Watchers,) intended to hurt Grian through Scar as said punishment.
