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?

just two boys in boats, boying and boating.

That’s all! (Also I know the anatomy and stuff is real…funky, on this one, but idk life is short and I’ve kinda realized that people aren’t really going to react more positively if it’s more polished, so I figure that making everything look perfect isn’t really a great use of my time lol)

hey guys so this is actually literally my favorite thing I’ve ever drawn so I am in fact going to keep reblogging it.

also in other news fill out the Smallishzine interest form please I need this zine to happen. I need to be in it.

I’ve spent an insert adjective here amount of time crafting a real life!zombiecleo fanart to make a magic the gathering pun that no one in a million years will get.

It says unstitched. I am a winner Cleo truther, and I love the un- sets, and I decided to put those two things together. This also ties into my unintelligible headcannons about the life series. Anyway I hope you enjoyed or at least weren’t disgusted by this drawing of Cleo coming apart at the seams ^^

my mildly unintelligible incoherent rambling headcannons on the life series but primarily wild life and I had more to say but I had to cut it down lol and I’m mainly posting this for personal reference: (be wary, it is a long post)

Wild life is so fascinating from a lore perspective like in the past it was everyone against everyone else, friendly survival but things were just a little bit off, a little bit desperate, felt a little bit out of control, like maybe something bigger was at work here, but you could look the threat in the eyes and kill it and go home…until you couldn’t. As the strings being pulled turned from invisible twine to neon shoelaces and the hand in the shadows was suddenly the title character and every thing seemed to connect, seemed to end. But it didn’t. The watchers were the center the thumbnail the logo the everything mercilessly piloting the story towards the conclusion they desired, and then it was done, the loop back to the very beginning was made, it was finished. But then it wasn’t. What Real Life and Wild Life have in common is this sort of sense of storytelling absurdity, everything is cut short and brief and it’s silly and horrifying and painful (just to intulude here, I am still discussing everything purely lore wise. The only pain I experienced watching either of those things was sadness when they ended) and suffering doesn’t seem to have a meaning a purpose a quiet dignity anymore it’s April fools and everyone is throwing up and dead their bodies won’t listen won’t function can’t fight cant run but it’s a joke haha there’s no story no rhyme or reason it’s just torture and now the ultimate of random purposeless suffering wild cards they can’t kill each other can’t fight each other because every moment is a struggle to survive as the world itself has turned against them as their bodies betray them as they die in humiliating horrifying ways the very fiber of their being the very core of their world something is terribly terribly wrong it is like the order and rules that bound the life series have broken and the chaos of the void is pouring through drowning the code of the world as the players are ripped to shreds by the avalanche, watching their bodies crumble. It’s like the watchers finished telling their story of perfect and purposeful suffering and then pulled the string holding the knot together. It’s like the life series is a pane of glass that they polished to perfection, punched, and walked away, leaving the shards to slowly shatter as the beauty and horror and chaos and glory that makes up the world spews forth to tear it’s broken remains apart. There will still be the games, but now there is nothing pulling the strings, nothing holding it together. Suffering no longer has a meaning, a purpose, a goal, it is simply suffering. How terrifying must that be to have everything that you are shattering, pieces of you like broken glass strewn about as the void bursts forth to consume the ruins and the wreckage of the world.

We know that life series players are alternate versions of themselves, because while Hermitcraft scar is happily building his zoo in season ten, secret life scar is still out there wandering among the sunflowers. I don’t remember if real life Cleo lived or not, and we don’t know if this season’s winner will live on, but let’s pretend for the sake of this ramble being almost somewhat coherent that both cleo and the new winner live. What happens to the new winner (I’ll get to what happens to Cleo later)? The world is breaking, coming apart at the seams. Each new day brings a fresh horror from the void to try to wipe them out. And what about memories? This is where this strays firmly into headcannon territory, but my personal way of imagining it starts at a fairly ubiquitous jumping off point, the idea that lifers during the games do not have access to their memories, but going upon the alternate versions thing they do not remember the games at all. There is the original player, journeying through smps and servers, and then there is a version of them for each separate life series, shadow copies that they are completely unaware of and unconnected to created by the watchers to play puppets with in their perfect dark fairytale. Each life series is a new copy, because every game the copies all died. Up until secret life. They had had their fun, there was no reason for them to kill off the last one, scar, the winner left alive and alone. The og scar and the secret life scar are not aware of each other because og has no idea about the copy and copy wrongly assumes he is the real scar. He regained all the memories from before of Hermitcraft when he won and the watchers broke the game but the way he understands it is, because again the other life series were other versions of scar, he was on Hermitcraft uninterrupted up until suddenly they were all abducted into this game called secret life and they all were driven insane and killed each other and now he is alone. He can’t leave because the copies are bound to their worlds and doesn’t try to leave because as far as he knows there is no where for him to go. Crucially, again, secret life scar and Hermitcraft scar are two entirely different people.

So let’s imagine for this new winner, living in this horrifying shattered world, there are no more watchers to police memories. The copies are still made, the code is still there, the games carry on, becoming more garbled and twisted with each broken game, so that the copies don’t come out quite right, which explains the movement issues and nausea in real life and the way the wild cards go to the very data of the player and twist it in wild life. So this broken copy wins, and suddenly remembers, just as secret life scar did, all that came before, but the game is even more broken so they remember so much more than that. They see all the lives, every version of themselves. They see themselves after, the version that was never in the games, with their friends, living on. The versions of the friends they know are dead, but alternate, happier, more carefree versions live on with an alternate, happier, more carefree version of themselves. Their friends don’t miss them, don’t know they are gone, because they aren’t. They are alone and trapped on a world doomed to slowly fracture into oblivion. Everything is broken. But they refuse this, perhaps. They rebel. There is nothing tying the world together? Then they will escape through the cracks. They will find this world with the other copies. Real life Cleo, who remembers enough to know that they are are a copy, but the game hasn’t fully broken by real life so she is unaware there were other games. Also I’m realizing now that I haven’t really talked a lot about Cleo but tbh that’s mostly because their character strikes me as someone who is unshakable, pragmatic (this is why I think she and Scott got along so well, they both go at the games with eyes on the prize) who would of course be upset but also be rational, and simply try to make the best out of their life) secret life scar, who still believes that he is the only version of scar out there and that he murdered all of his friends. Both stuck on these worlds alone, but this new winner will break through the walls on these servers, and say come on, we’re here, we’re our own gosh dang people, so let’s go take back our lives. Idk where this goes from there but I headcannon that every real life version of all the players had mobility issues, hence the movement problems, but Cleo is the only real life player left so she’s the only one still experiencing these problems. I also headcannon that the new winner has, well, I haven’t actually figured out the specifics but some sort of residual issues relating to the wild cards and broken code.

this headcannon also introduces some interesting lore ties for Grian, and tbh I haven’t thought to much about how the watcher lore would work in this, well ig this is an au at this point, but if you think about his panic at the end of the most recent session, and that he was able to freeze time, it could be a sort of thing like he is unintentionally the one causing the games to continue being a watcher, but in the past he had no control but now he’s been handed the reins with no instructions and has no idea what to do. All the power and no clue how to use it. This also could lead to some interesting things about watching, because maybe in the past he could watch, could see that they were copies, and played accordingly. He knew the other versions would live on so he resigned himself to a certain extent to death, but now there is no path no clear cut story no string to follow through the dark he can’t see beyond the games and he’s terrified.

anyway that’s like kinda my headcannons idk if anyone will actually read this far but if you did thanks. Also I really wanna write/draw something for this, maybe turn it into a proper au, so if u person who is still reading would like to join me on that endeavor I would love to work with u.

I drew a thing. There is a very complicated and unintelligible headcannon that inspired it but tumblr said I was using too many words so I deleted it but trust me it was beautiful.

I don’t usually draw in this style but I wanted to practice anatomy and shading but tbh I hate it but I prefer it like that cause the other thing I’m working on is a drawing of Joel booping ethostrapod on the snoot and it is way less time and soul consuming but I’m way more proud of it and less work for more reward is rarely a good thing so when it is a good thing idk do a celebratory Macarena and have yourself an ice cream because life is short ice cream is delicious and being healthy is highly overrated.

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.

a redraw of my very first mcyt fanart!

I’m not gonna show the og because it was truly terrible, but I tried to keep mostly the same elements. It was from when I was deep into my flower husbands brainrot arc.

! Important PSA for car owners, check your tires, if you find bite marks and gnawing you may have a Tango infestation !

he is coming to eat your car. Feral little goblin man /pos. I’m loving Wild Life Tango’s whole let’s-be-a-menace-to-everyone-around-me arc.

(This entire post is /silly)

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

So, Etho’s new family, huh?

They both gave him flowers at different points in the episode. Gem gave Etho an allium and Joel gave him a dandelion and I think it’s up to us boat boysers to make dandelions, like, their thing. I will be propaganda-ing that so be warned.

Joel’s episode:

come on Joel! You can do it! Win that series! 7th times the charm! Cause if you lose me the betting pool a seventh time in a row I will personally come and murder you ^^! for legal reasons that was a joke.

…

*shuffles papers* uhh don’t gamble, kids.

(Just wanted to clarify: we don’t bet real money. My sister, a couple of neighbors, and I make a life series betting pool where you are allowed to contribute basically anything but money. Sometimes it’s normal things like a bag of candy or a favorite book, and sometimes someone decides put their 3-D printer on the line. For Jimmy. The printer now lives happily in its new home. Occasionally the original owner is permitted to use it. Anyway it’s all for fun and we all go in knowing there is a chance that we will lose our bets. So far I have lost three different books, the label maker, the rights to pick what’s on tv for a year, and a bag of glitter for Joel.)

also, the reason he has skizz sleeves is because we all like to ruin the surprise for ourselves as soon as we can. Curse you name mc /silly.

You better not lose me my MCR: The Black Parade poster Joel, or I’ll. I’ll. I’ll. Um. I don’t know what I’ll do, but it’ll be real bad. Be scared.

it’s the roomies!!!

This is a Secret Life Roommates teamup appreciation post, go appreciate them!!! (Also, unrelated but I enjoy imagining everyone having little mementos to past things in their lives which is why Grian is wearing a hermempires crossover tee shirt wow I hope I sure hope I didn’t get my timelines mixed up lol that would be embarrassing)

I’m bringing this back even though I drew it forever ago because I think it’s funny, and I’m still kind of proud of it. I forgot I used to draw noses like that lol. And also Ethos. I forgot I used to give him a little, like, swoopy thing. Hah.

I was listening to How to Be a Heartbreaker by MARINA and I realized it fit the boat boys perfectly

I might go back and add color later, but for now; behold…whatever the hell this is. Go listen to the song please this will make more sense I think?

This is, of course, all in silliness, I just thought it was funny. Also it’s a fun song.

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.

It's interesting how like each of the winners in each iteration of the Life Series can be simplified into caricatures of themselves from the PoV of us the viewers or the deities that I'm not bothered to name but is essential to the lore (cough cough). From each victor and their tragedies forms stories intertwined across participants and other seaons.

Starting with Grian, as the first victor and the organiser of sorts he is like one of isakei tropes but he doesn't get hit by a truck. He is like the playtester or control experiment to see if the games are a success or not, and considering the amount of attention the Life Series garnered during its first season, he was the successful victor pathing for the next to come.

Scott, the winner of Last Life, is the like the poster child of rebellion to the Watcher's perspective. A nuisance that challenges the boundaries of the game but also a player who is still under their influence and can be replaceable in a way. Someone who despite keeping his alliances and promises with his the other participants still wins fairly.

PearlescentMoon on the otherhand is a tragedy in Double Life. With a gimmick that's supposed to pair you with someone compatible and then being rejected by that one someone who was once your teammate would be the first blow to Pearl. But then been surrounded by others who seemingly have their soulmates figured out, it just emphasises the loneliness that you seem to carry. When you finally team again, it's more out of an obligation to survive and conquer over the others. Eventually ending in a dillema where it's only you can win but not both. So essentially Pearl's season was a tragedy of loneliness and isolation that caused by the distrust of others towards her being an omen of death and chaos.

Martyn's arc, compared to Scott was that he was stuck in history. From his time in Dogwarts with Ren influencing his playstyle and his clothing to his time back in Evo, his history just parts Martyn's storyline through Limited Life. Even as he slaughtered the others in the finale in a mindless bloodlust, it was because of his involvment with the Watchers and Listeners that caused him to become the poster-child for the Watchers. A moldable victor for their entertainment.

GTWScar in Secret Life is the misunderstood villian. An antagonisitc force because of the involvement of the Secret Keeper. A playtoy that the uppermanagement used and quickly discarded because of his involvement with Grian. An ever-hopeful force that drags Grian back onto the orbit and away from the Watchers. Yet to him, Grian is the Sun that he captivates him.

Finally Joel or Smallishbeans, he is the uncontrollable and rebellious comedian of sorts that did what Scott couldn't do. He was able to push and persist against the boundaries and didn't fall under the Watcher's influence. He was almost a complete pacifist towards others and his teammate and alliances and only then like the other victors, did he win.

pt.39 lmao 13 more to go of thoeries and headcannions I haven't really watched scotts pov yet so most of my information is like hedacannons and stuff oof unfortunately idk what to write for real life as it kinda being short gives me barely enough information and I havent ven watched cleos pov so even bigger oof

So this being more on the headcannonionus side of theories, but what if the trivia bot in session 5 of Wild Life is that their memories were just constricted or contained that prevented them to remember specific details regarding the questions provided by the trivia bot. like even if they're the same peron, something suppresses past memories leaving it hazy of sorts to recall. with each iteration of the life series, like their memory is reconstructed to the barebones of what is required.

pt.38 of theories and heacanonsn

idk bro im just tired

So Joel's car, beating all other celestial beings and other representations has become the defining symbol of his victory by outbeating the other depictions that include Jupiter (black hole too) from celestial beings and charriot from tarot cards (I'm not sure). Compared to all the other symbols of previous winners, Joel's theme is outlandish against all the other astral bodies.

But besides this contradictory stylisation, Joel's symbol does fit his and the cast of the Life Series' rebellion against the higher beings or the Watchers. With Wild Life being more passive compared to seasons like Limited Life or Last Life, the main objective could be boiled down to surviving against the enviornment/nature compared to surviving against players. With these wildcards that proved to be deadly even when peaceful, the players objectives were mainly on surviving together then compared to antagonizing each other until around the last sessions where PvP was mandatory to win. This would've angered the Watchers with the disruption of their eight week-long feast. So the symbol could be a lasting effect of a Fuck-you to the Watchers by playing unprecedentedly but still winning.

But another instance of definace is earlier in the Life Series where death and betrayal was rampant in Last Life yet Scott still remained loyal and disregarded the laws of the Boogeyman. And yet even as the Watchers tried to punish him, he still won fairly gaining him the representation of not just a singular star, but whole star systems. Him being an embodiment of the possibility of the players to rebel against the system that brought them there. Him being the person that planted the seeds of rebellion that sprouted into Joel with depictions of his car in multiple fanarts (I can't find rip) of essentially crashing the Watchers and leaving them in disarray.

pt 37 thrs and hdcnns im back

Ever since Third Life, Joel has be considered as the madman or wildcard of the Life Series considering his polar behaviours ranging from domestic to deranged whilst remaining isolated as a solitary team for the majority of the first few seasons. But where did his madness originate from for the subsequent seasons followig Third Life?

While watching Marytn's Third Life collection of combined episodes, Joel ever so states "If you're the red king then I can turn into the mad king" during the recruitment of Dogwarts pioneered by Ren ad Marytn. Possibly kickstarting his descent into madness when he joined the Desert Alliance breaking the seal that released the curse of insanity.

The following season of Last Life only insinuated his madness due to his drive to team alone and the introduction of the Boogeyman and premature bloodlust.

But yet as the seasons progressed, his amount of teammates grew from his duo with Etho as the Boat Boys, his trio of "brothers" of the Bad Boys and finally the Mounders which included Pearl, Bdubs, Mumbo and himself.

This all leads to Wild Life where although his faction only consists of Gem and himself, Joel has managed to succeed through countless obstacles through his journey overcoming his madness and channelling it into motivation to win whilst also protecting his "family".

__

pt 35

So I've been rewatching Third Life from Martyn's perspective and not even in the first session Martyn essentially institutes the beginning of essentially everything major in all seasons of the Life Series from the instigator of curses and creator of storylines, Martyn has been the intiator for all of them. He has never been more essential to the history of the Life Series lore wise then his involvement in Third Life.

Not even in the first five minutes of the Life Series, Martyn already foreshadows the Canary Curse that haunted Jimmy until Secret Life. at 2:58 of his Third Life: The Movie, Martyn gives BigB the role of his canary with BigB stating "I'm with you in spirit" moments prior. Elluding to Jimmy's endeavour to stay and comfort those subsequent fallen after his final demise and Grian's task and Secret Life that brought him back in the astral realm.

Besides the alluding to the Canary Curse, Martyn's ability to replicate and emulate sounds from the natural enviornments and mobs as a Listener allowed him to travel across the boundaries of the world meeting and scaring people from his imitation of creeper sizziling. Which lead him to meet Ren and establishing Renchantyn as their official spokesperson. Proclaiming enchanting for those who needed in the village where majority of the participants were gathering. Spoking them with his creeper noises as the night drew nearer. Yet after all this and their "guards were down" Grian did a little prank that would change the course of the series. Resulting in Scar's demise of the whole season and kickstarting Desertduo and the fued between Dogwarts and the Desert Alliance.

To quote Mumbo, "Cross-season beef" is an understatement to the relationship between Scar and Grian all because of Martyn and his Listener superstitions and powers.

Pt 34

With the shattering of the Canary curse that used to cling to Jimmy throughout the Life Series, a new curse or mantle has emerged known as the "Spider (Black Widow)" that has chosen Grian as its vessel. It's been like that ever since Limited Life, where Grian has consistently being the last one eliminated from his team.

As spiders are commonly known for producing delicate pieces of webbing to capture prey or the unfortunate, it fits Grian and his inherent responsibility over the Life Series. Every teammate of his from the Badboys, Roomies and the Spanners has tread the web of uncertainty and fallen prey to the predator that is Grian. Acting as a false support or friend until the final endgame where Grian conicidently outlives them and directly moves onto a different team to join them (with the exception of Secret Life where his alliance was killed in the finale with him). Seemingly to catch new prey for a larger feast.

Even his latest defensive build of the tower in Wild Life where he dubbed it as "The Spider's Nest" where both his teammates died essentially wraps Grian's arc of being the inheritent of the "Black Widow" curse and catching his teammates from his own doing.

by @/nerdyenby

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.

Headcannons and Theories Pt. 31

So the finale of Wild Life finished around a week ago and essentially Joel pummeled through the final five remaining contestants and ultimately taking the crown as the victor for the sixth (seventh) season of the Life Series and with the final wild card being a culmination of all the previous wildcards except the randomized hunger, it's a safe assumption that the Watchers considered this season a delicious successor to Secret Life.

With 18 members participating that garnered over 180 deaths (186), those dieties who watch over each and every season of the Life Series called the Watchers feast upon the chaos and grief emanating from the pain originating from the players and the multitude escapades caused by the series of wildcards and the improptu angst and interactions between alliances and allies. Although the Watcher's prescence isn't as prominent as Secret Life, (cough cough Taskmaster) there's still details and other aspects of the Watchers incorporated into Wild Life.

Some of these aspects could include the wildcards. As Grian the creator or constructor of the Life Series in general, as control and power over the orchestrated aspects of the Life Series. Like the wildcards, tasks and twists similar to the power of the Watchers. As watchers, the Watchers are able to probe and instigate but not directly influence the players like Scar and his tasks in Secret Life.

Take the immortal snails. Beings of incapable power able to break the player constraints and move in unncanny ways all in the conquest to murder the linked player taken in the form of a snail. An animal nortorious for its slowness and naivete commonly portrayed by popular media has the highest kill count throughout the whole season. Inspired by the theory from the Rooster Teeth Podcast in 2014 that was later popularised by a Reddit post in 2016, the whole premise is that you gain immortality and one million dollars in exchange for an immortal snail that indefinately hunts after you as it itself is also immortal. Tying in with greed and the gain of money all in trade for the eternal worry of death that lurks all around you. Threatening your legacy built from one step of carelessness.

Yet other aspects of the Watchers continue to persist into the subsequent sessions of Wild Life. Like the Trivia Bot. A gameshow-like bot that is most likely inspired by Mettaton from Undertale, suits with the Watchers' polar behaviour of sparking fun, distrust and a precursor to the chaos to the finale. Yet all this fun cluminates to the finale where the chaos continues to rise to the pinnicle of the season where all but one wild card are mushed together for one minute and 45 sec where it stops. And a message of "The ending is yours... Make it WILD" would be the second season in a row of the Watchers or some other external force signifying the beginning of the end.

Theories and Headcannons Pt.30

So finale is going out in around eight hours and yet the pacing of Wildlife leaves many participants as potential winners for the sixth installment of the Life Series. But I'm willing to bet that Tango has the possibility of being the winner of Wild Life.

Being the notorious coward of the Life Series, Tango has managed to place an average placement of 11th across all seasons of the Life Series. But with each progression of the series, each Lifer's skill in PvP, gathering and teaming has drastically improved over the three years since Third Life.

This is especially prevelent with Tango with his cowardly stratagies that allow him to avoid conflict until the climax of each season but it's different in Wild Life. With the two major teams of the Extended Family and the G's, the Tough Guys that include Bdubs, Etho and Tango are able to stay out of the sidelines and avoid majority of the conflict due to their red life and relatively peaceful alliances.

Adding on to his avoiding nature, Tango was able evade majority of the server in the previous session of Wild Life just for his green life. So with his avoidance nature and strategic alliance Tango just might be able to achieve first place.

Theories and Headcannons Pt. 29

Tango's bloodlust and rage has always been a key characteristic in his character development over the multiple seasons of the Life Series. Yet these bloodlusts didn't always end in successful kills or fulfilling chaos that momentairily quenched the growing influences of his last life. Moments like the Double Life rage where he retaliated with a warden which backfired and attacked them instead of the intended targets of Scar and Grian.

These continuous mishaps and failures conglomerated and dominoed into an overload of frustration and botched killings where it was all released in session 5 of Wild Life where Tango killed both lives of Joel. His first kill from a mace, gifted a Trivia Bot was used to mace Joel retrieving his yellow life again. Yet even after the influences of redlust would be gone, he still hunted for Joel. Eventually gaining another life in trade for Joel's life.

I honestly dont know what I was doing with this one

Theories and Headconnans Pt. 28

So this weekly theory stems from the purposeful similarities and differences between a moment in Third Life and Wild Life. That particular moment in session three of Wild Life and session five of Third Life that resulted in a sacrifical death between Ren and another blonde, traumatised players. Which include Jimmy and Martyn respectively.

Beginning with Ren's sacrifice to Jimmy in Wild Life, this death was mainly a transactional death to regain his yellow status in exchange for undying loyalty soaked in the blood of Renthedog. An animal commonly characterised as loyal or faithful to friends or someone(s) trusted. This death unified some fraction of the Bamboozlers and the Renwood Mount and could symbolise new beginnings as Ren's returning season after Double Life. Back in Third Life, the Flower husbands were known as enemies of Dogwarts and with this sacrifice for a life, it could be known as rebuilding a bridge burned with war and detest.

This death mirrors the tragic moment in session five of Third Life where Martyn executed Ren before reborning as the Red King and bringing harvoc to the players as a red name. Losing his first life to Grian's unsuccessful-successful TNT minecart trap, Ren swore vengance to the Desert Duo as a red name who are able to initiate violence upon any life but risk being permanently dead. Regardless of this gamble, Ren was slayed by his Hand (Marytn). One of his most trusted allies who was also by when Ren orchestrated each war and battle against the Desert Alliance.

These then connects with Jimmy and Martyn who both teamed as the Big Dogs relating the trio of dogs and loyalty and making the webbing of teams, allies and enemiess across all seasons even more complicated.

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.
