guys i fear i'm not over the poppies and the sand
((empty template below
grian but victorian goth because uh. yea.
oh and he has a giant scythe. just for fun.
i mean actually he's like what four feet tall ? that scythe isn't really all that big then. damn it.
headcanon time !! grian's eyes are naturally blue but after the whole evo fiasco they turned purple. now in hermitcraft he usually wears rectangular goggles that sorta resemble his mc skin to cover em :]]
also while i’m still logged in .. some old traffic art ^_^
i originally posted these to twt but i’m not on there anymore 😵💫
in honour of term exams starting tomorrow, i drew a silly new pfp (instead of studying but pfhshh math isn't that hard anyways ammirite ammirite)
hey...
grian closeup :]]
i only post here for fun but this drawing in particular is so especially self-indulgent. it has all of my favorite things (purple tones, excessively large sleeves, ceaselessly watching british creatures).
so.
cause i haven't drawn Martyn in a hot second i went looking at some old designs of mine and found that i used to draw him with fog/smoke/mist coming out the ends of his bandana. i did not have a reason other than uh it looked cool ?? however i do find it funny that it kinda mirrors Martin's connection with the Lonely with its fog manifestations.
anyways !! just two foggy wood guys who kind of like violence !! i'll probably do an actual complete drawing later but for now have some doodles
THE WATCHERS' SPECIAL BOYS !! i am so okay in the head right now
this is season 3!Jon n hermit!G btw :]]]] god i'm gonna go insane
little Grian animation i made a while back because i was listening to tma and and and
Okay okay. Hear me out. Xisuma finds out because he has to go to the Life Games to get Grian’s real body back, Pearl had someone else(maybe Cleo? Or someone else, IDK). fWhip finds out because he has to grab Jimmy and then later Pearl.
I've seen mcyt aus where both Grian and Jimmy are living dolls. I propose an au where watchers/listeners all have dolls or sculptures for fake bodies and their real bodies are tucked inside like hermit crabs. They fake bodies don't respawn, they have to sneak back and crawl back inside
My vote for Scar is Pluto and I'll do a post later explaining my reasons lol
life series memory thing, but what if it's the LOSERS that remember everything!!
Like the life series members compete to forget the horrible events of the games
So impulse being really wanting to win in WL was him getting desperate for the memory wipe
They all do horrible things with the hope to not remember them in the end
I have set up a blog dedicated to the GemPearl/ShinyDuo Zine!
This is still a WIP, but the asks are open for questions and suggestions, plus just general encouragement and excitement!
GUYS GUYS GUYS
Hear me out
Jimmy is the canary because he dies first each season
Lizzie died in SL, so now she carries the curse
And now Jimmy is a phoenix
AND HAS FIRE HAIR LIKE TANGO OMG RANCHERS---
currently working on an illustration 'fake game' project, slowly chipping away at it I dont know anything about coding so all animations are with csp
VOTE CLETHUBS FOR MCYT ART!!!!
Final Round: Clethubs vs Jleo
this is basically desert duo, right?
some frames I drew for a boat boys animatic that never was
I’m really proud of how these two specifically came out. The second one is a how they died each time in double life and the first is just em dancing.
edit: I also forgot this one:
Joel was there two but I accidentally deleted the layer I drew him on
I loved the most recent episode of Wild Life. I never would have guessed with all the ominous hints at what it was that it was running away from snails for ninety minutes lol but it was super fun to watch and a super creative concept! My favorite part was when Mumbo and Grian got cornered in the mineshaft and started freaking out because the snails were coming for them.
They’re gonna get you. They’re gonna get you. The snails are coming for you. Teehee.
doodle page of Joel Torreto!
Hello! You asked for characters and numbers so, uh, here's some :D
Characters: Scott, Gem, Martyn, Joel, Pearl
Numbers: 5, 3, 6, 4, 10
Oh my gosh Rain thank you sm!!! I got a drawing ask from deityoftherain I feel so famous lol. Unfortunately I don’t have the time to get to all of them right now, but I’ve got one done, and hopefully in the future when I have more time I can do more of them (I'm particularly excited by the one I have planned for Scott, flower husbands my beloved they were literally my first fandom love, so I neeeed to do a piece with them)
but yeah here is my piece for my number 4 song: Sleep, by My Chemical Romance, with Pearlescent Moon
I wanted it to feel like a glitchy and vaguely haunted old cassette tape, because that’s always what I picture when I hear the recording in the beginning of the song. I didn’t quite manage to capture the vibe I was going for, but I’m proud of the drawing overall. Also I messed up the lyrics slightly- it’s good night not good bye -and it’s driving me insane but I don’t have time to fix it lol. Also 4:42 is the length of the song. Ramble about why I chose red pearl for this piece under the cut (I will admit it was something of a coin flip between whether this song would go to Pearl or Joel, but in the end there was another song on the list that I really wanted to use Joel for. Also Joel would never feel bad about the murder lol /silly) vvvvvvvvv
This song feels so Pearl to me because it’s talking all about how haunted the person feels (technically The Patient from the black parade but I just tried to go off of what the individual song is about rather than the album lore) by all of the bad things they’ve done in the past, claiming not to feel bad and saying their irredeemable, while simultaneously condemning themselves and torturing themselves with guilt. They don’t think they’re worthy of being saved because of “the monsters that [they’ve] been” and sort of switching back and forth between a sort of morbid joy at the freedom of giving in to being unforgivable because they don’t have to search for forgiveness and a terrible sorrow and regret and fear at the destruction in their past, the loss that they caused themselves and are now suffering for, the guilt over the people they’ve hurt. They see no redemption for themselves, and feel both pain at the horrors that set them on this path and peace at letting their worst natures consume them, no longer having to try to walk backwards and instead marching forwards on the path of darkness and, if we tie it back to the album lore, the parade of death. If you have to be there, why not take the lead?
btw I’m still Really Normal about wild life Joel win
Also I have so many thoughts about card symbolism. The guy whose entire gimmick sounded like a very unsubtle mafia family won the casino themed death games lol. Also I maybe want to do a piece that’s a sort of sequel piece to this one because in hearts (real card game btw) the queen of spades is the worst card to have unless you are trying to shoot the moon. Which. Double life symbolism stuff hahahah I’m really normal about well all of this really I love all the life series.
scott smajor with number 7 for your spotify asks?
omg anon sorry it took me so long to get to this, but here: Scott smajor with number 7, Ghost of You by My Chemical Romance!
textless and bgless under cut, as well as really long ramble caption vvvvvvv
I hope this is alright! If nothing else, I’m so so proud of drawing hair braiding, that took. So. Long. lol, anyway yeah I also really like how Scott’s hair came out, and I’ve never made a third life Jimmy design before so I came up with this on the fly and I really like how it looks. But yeah, I saw which song it was and thought of them immediately, Scott was so distraught at Jimmy’s death in third life, (prepare for ramble that is mildly unintelligible if you are not really geeky about MCR lore lol. The main stuff you need to understand is that mcr has four albums, I Brought You My Bullets You Brought Me Your Love, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, The Black Parade, and Danger Days: The True Lives of The Fabulous Killjoys, and all of them have a lot of lore) like they are so demolition lovers coded, especially because of the whole back from the dead thing where Jimmy is alive and well in later seasons but Scott is still grieving him and the memory thing with winners remembering which means Scott remembers third life and Jimmy doesn’t, reminds me of like (from my understanding of the story, which is different from other peoples because MCR lore is very vague) the inner turmoil of the lover from the three cheers lore who went to hell, and his lover is in heaven and on one hand he wants to reunite but on the other he knows his lover doesn’t even know he’s alive (-ish. Not sure how much his situation qualifies as “living”) and feels guilty, thinking that she probably won’t even want to see him again, because he’s killed so many people and he doesn’t want to ruin her paradise (I mean she misses him too and wants to see him again but he doesn’t know that, and also he rightly recognizes that he is an actual sociopath. I’m not saying c!Scott is crazy (well, as not-crazy as you can be in life series death games. Everyone is at least a little bit off their rocker. Woah, parentheses within parentheses, what is this!?), but I am saying the guy demolition lover absolutely is. I am also saying that c!Scott has self worth issues. At least in my headcannons. I also have a similar headcannon for Joel. Maybe that’s why they hate each other, their mad that they can’t sacrifice themselves for each other and then decided a murderous rivalry was the only option/j ) but yeah so the torturing themselves over a lover who is both dead for them and also at the same time alive and well but unreachable and in a better place than them and wanting to be with them but holding back for fear of hurting them which ends up hurting them anyway (which is also a theme in the black parade, so ig you could also kinda compare Scott to The Patient, but patient always felt more Joel or Pearl coded to me. Also yes I know I already made a post about smalletho demo lovers au, but idk I can have both smalletho and flower husbands demo lovers I just like projecting my interests onto,,,,also my interests ig lol) is something Scott and the sinner demolition lover have in common. Also this song makes me cry. So much. Could barely even draw this through the tears lol/silly, and I’m exaggerating but less than you’d think. Unfortunately I am a crier. I also cry at Summertime from danger days, pretty much all of three cheers but especially I never told you what I do for a living, demolition lovers from bullets (btw for non MCR fans these are album and song names. Also the demo lover’s story starts in bullets with the song titled for them, and then is continued in three cheers for sweet revenge) as well as I don’t love you, wttbp, the end, mama, and famous last words from black parade. And those are just the MCR songs, not counting all the other sad songs from other bands. I am a CRIER lol. But yeah, thank you sm for the ask anon I really enjoyed drawing this!
smalletho demolition lovers au?
//CW: Blood
I mean it’s too perfect. Psychopathic bisexual demonic serial killer x depressed emo angelic weapons dealer? I couldn’t resist lol. if you want story context and/or to have a good cry, look up the lore to three cheers for sweet revenge by my chemical romance it’s beautiful and very very sad, which for MCR is also very very on brand. Anyway internet please validate me and my efforts I spent a really long time on this.
I got my mom to do the name them trend this is actually hilarious.
I asked my dad to do it as well, and he just said “they’re all named Fred.” and walked away lollllll
