joe hills green suit
jimmy and grian beatboxing and playing the cat piano
gem being pretty. sue me. She's really pretty

Ren and Martyn on Cleo's stream
[long transcript under cut]
Ren: Cleo!
Cleo: Hi!
Ren: (singing) I just won TCG!
Martyn: You did win it?
Ren: (still singing) I just won TCG!
Martyn: You wanted to win that so bad as well.
Cleo: You won TCG?!
Ren: Dude I was sweating, that was scary!
Cleo: What did you win with? What deck? Tell me everything!
Ren: Oh! Um, hold on. Oh this is gonna make you so happy, actually!
Cleo: Please!
Ren: The best deck in the entire game—Hello! ZombieCleo-Welsknight PVP!
Cleo: YES! PVP deck!
Ren: Cleo knows, Cleo knows!
Cleo: Easy streams, easy mode deck. Martyn, it's an easy mode deck.
Ren: Why are you covered in like, post-it notes?
Cleo: Well, if you'd been in any plane and I could have gotten your signature, you would know that I'm collecting everyone's signature. But you don't, you go out and you leave me! And I'm alone in that room with all my friends. (Cleo laughs)
Martyn: You just think about yourself and it's selfish!
Cleo: How selfish are you, Ren!
Martyn: Find a sticky note and get back to your life!
Ren: Okay, okay, I'll find a dang sticky note!
Martyn: Clearly you don't need us!
Ren: Jeez! Okay!
Cleo: (laughs)
Ren: Love you, Cleo!
Cleo: Love you too!
Ren: Oh, do I get to stick this on you as well?
Martyn: You do!
Cleo: Yes. Uhh, there's sellotape down in my feet somewhere.
Martyn: You need it, yeah.
Ren: Oh, yeah.
Martyn: Am I still on there, I wonder if I've fallen off. Here, let me check.
Ren: Um, okay, lets see. I'm going to stick myself... (Ren makes a face) Uhh.
Cleo: Where are you going to stick yourself, Ren? (Cleo and Ren laugh)
Martyn: (teasingly) Finish the sentence.
Cleo: (also teasingly) You started, so you'll finish!
Martyn: C'mo—No! (following Ren) No! Stop! Hey! You come back here and you finish that sentence. Say it on camera!
Cleo: (laughing) I'm so glad that it's the three of us in a corridor alone. Cause no one else would have said that!
Martyn: Right!
Ren: Umm, lets see. I'm just gonna—I'm just gonna have myself dangling off of your... screen.
Martyn: Screen! Screen, okay.
Cleo: That tickles, Ren! You have to be very careful where you're placing things.
Martyn: So I have fallen off since earlier, so I'll sellotape this time.
Cleo: Oh, okay, cool.
Ren: You should dangle on the other side!
Martyn: Yeah, sounds good.
Cleo: So I've got Ren and Martyn dangling off my face, is what you're telling me?
Ren: Yeah, yeah, you can't, you can't actually— (Ren laughs) You can't see the danglage, but it's gonna be double danglage happening.
Cleo: Is it now?
Martyn: Cleo's getting bangs!
Cleo: I do appreciate the dangle. (Cleo snorts) It's late, it's nearly 2am. I can't.
Ren: (laughs) That's awesome! I'm going to take a picture of that for you, that's, uh, that's beautiful.
Cleo: Please, please do! I need that picture! Who else do I need? Chat who else do I need? I need...
Martyn: You definitely still needed Scar, right?
Ren: Yeah, I think so.
Cleo: Definitely still need Scar. I think I may need Joe as well.
Martyn: Yeah.
Ren: Okay, I am gonna go, because apparently I'm getting slapped in the face with a tortilla.
Martyn: I think I am at some point, so I'm gonna get you to Scar, and then I'll be coming back.
Cleo: Cool! Cool.
Martyn: Lets do it!
Cleo: I can help Scar do whatever Scar is doing. Which is...
Ren: Okay, awesome. Bye Cleo!
Cleo: I'll see ya! Enjoy the tortilla! Bye!

I started this art piece a while ago (at the beginning of Wild Life) and l'm finally done. I took a long break so I could work on other art pieces and hit plenty of art blocks while drawing this. However, the new season (Past Life) got me motivated to complete it.
This piece incorporates some of Martyn's Watcher lore. See if u can spot some if ur in the know about the lore. There r also some headcanons of mine sprinkled here. I headcanon that life series winners r conscious during the transition from season to season and they remember what happened during the season they won while everyone else forgets. like considering the April Fools seasons as canon whether they're dreams or a trick season created by the Watchers, so have Cleo in the drawing conscious and confused about where she is and what she's seeing as the group transitions to Wild Life.
U can also notice Scar and even his spirit animal r a bit off. Content Creator Scar says that his character is still stuck in Secret Life. So, I headcanon that the Scar we see in Real Life/ Wild Life and so on is not truly Scar. Instead he's a Watcher who's taken his place to better keep an eye on Grian who is a rebeleous Watcher trying to free everyone. That's why I drew Scar and his spirit animal glitching and Scar is in a knowing, sinister pose. The wisp of the Watcher symbol above also symbolizes him being a Watcher in disquise. Not to be confused with Martyn's Listener symbol above which just signifies that the Listeners r influencing Martyn, but Martyn is not a Listener nor does he know of the Listeners' influence.
Special Thx and credit to @wixelt for the winner symbols on each winners' spirit animal. (P.S./Funny Blooper: Since this is depicting them at the starting line up at the beginning of Wild Life, Joel has not won yet, so he has no winner symbol. I almost accidentally drew his symbol during the drawing process lol. And I realized too late that I used Scott's post Simple Life winner symbol. Happy accidents :3)

Grian sits on the edge of a desert cliff, watching the sunrise. His knuckles are bloody. He's had this dream before, and he's lived this moment before. He's awfully tired of it, honestly. He's not even particularly sad anymore. It's hard to be particularly sad, this long after, this much more between them.
But his knuckles are bloody again. There's someone sitting next to him.
"Joel?" he says, baffled.
"Yeah, hi, really weird bloody dreamscape you've got. Literally and figuratively: bloody hell. Like, Scott, he's got this pretty cottage and all these flowers and the single most terrifying version of Jimmy that I've seen in my life. Which serves him right, since he's a bastard, and I told him that. Or, uh, Pearl. She's normal. She's got dogs and... shit, I don't know--"
"Why are you here?" Grian asks.
"Oh, right, I was tasked with asking you if you regret it," Joel says.
There's a long moment of silence. The wind blows.
"I mean. No?" Grian says.
"Right? That's what I said! Blumin' stupid question, that!" Joel says.
"Wait, you mentioned--are you asking everyone that?" Grian asks.
"Yeah! It was all, oh, you've got a car, you can travel, it'll be all poetic like. You've had a 'character arc'--like I'm some, some fake guy--and grown as a person, everyone else has to, would they do things differently now? And I said, man, that's stupid. That's really stupid. But the glowing purple eyes guys--"
"Wait wait wait wait, the who?" Grian interrupts.
"Sorry, do you not know the glowing purple eyes guys? Martyn was acting like you're all buddies or something. Then I punched him. Because it was funny," Joel says.
"No, I know the--they asked you to do this?" Grian says. He takes a moment to try to imagine it. He has some trouble. Joel and the Watchers don't really belong in the same place at the same time for so many reasons that Grian doesn't know where to begin.
"Apparently, I'm not being serious enough," Joel informs Grian. "I kinda get it, actually. Like, everyone but Cleo has been somewhere like..."
Joel looks out over the cliff. It is tall, and Grian knows he cannot see the ground from the top. He had been able to during the actual games, of course, but these aren't the actual games; these are the memories of what brought him to victory, made manifest.
"So I guess I kinda wondered, since you lot always seem so blumin' sad about it," Joel finishes.
"I'm not really," Grian says.
Joel raises an eyebrow.
"I mean, maybe once, but--nah. Not really."
"Cool. That's the last one then," Joel says. "Hear that, weird glowing eyes guys? You act like I'm all weird or whatever but none of them regret it either. Not a single one of them."
Grian looks over the cliff again himself.
"None of us?" he asks, very quietly indeed.
Joel sighs. "All of you asked that too. I'm getting back in the bloody car."
Grian doesn't watch Joel leave. He rubs the blood off his knuckles and watches the sky instead. When he's tired thinking in circles about how he didn't really expect that he would be telling the truth, just then, he starts trying to imagine the trouble Joel might be giving everyone else instead. It's much more fun to think about than the sand that's getting in his socks. He's never able to get sand out of anything, these days, and it leaves him always just a little bit uncomfortable. Oh well; the price of being in a desert. He wouldn't be anywhere else if he had the choice, though, grit in his socks or not.

=> Martyn: Commit "Grand Theft Ender Pearl"
Gem: Looks like we've got company,
Grian: Who?
Gem: Pearl, Scott, Cleo and Martyn... Speaking of Martyn, guess what Skizz is whispering about him?
Gem: "Dude, Martyn is at the Hunker Bunker right now being BIG mad because Scar stole his 'Thing',"
Gem: "So watch out for Martyn if he comes knockin'!"
Scar: What's a "Hunker Bunker"? Is it a-
Martyn: "Watch out for Martyn?" That IS good advice! But, the warning was a bit late yea?
Martyn: You know what they say - an eye for an eye,
Martyn: You steal My Thing and I'll steal yours- I'll meet you at the bastion!
Grian: Put that down!
Martyn: Ta ta for now! ~♪
Gem: Eurg, he such a Theatre Kid-
Scar: ...
Scar: MARTYYYNN!!! Get back here you purpur loining scoundrel!
Grian: SCAR! ...Gem, we gotta follow him before he gets himself into trouble again,
Grian: Plus Martyn stole our ender pearl! We worked hard for that!
Gem: Counterpoint: We also have to wait for our Pearl. She's going to have no idea where we went if we run too far from the portal
Grian: I can't just let Scar run off alone and hand The Enchanter to Martyn on a silver platter!
Gem: We promised we wouldn't leave Pearl behind,
(Scar: *grumble grumble* no honor among adventurers nowadays, just because this is a death game doesn't mean you can't have manners!)
Grian: I know, I know, you made a promise... but between Pearl and Scar, who are you more worried about surviving in the Nether?
Gem: ...
Gem: Fine. Follow Scar. I'll go find Pearl and then we can catch up with you two. Go be stupid, just not too stupid: if you die, I'll be the first to laugh in chat
(Grian: I said you get used to it but...)
Grian: Scar, you cannot just waltz into a PIGLIN INFESTED BASTION in iron gear and expect things to magically work out without a plan!
Scar: Improvising, Grian! It’s the path of pioneers! The mark of a true marauder! If you're good enough at it, everyone will assume it was strategy. Tends to work out fiiiine! ...most of the time,
Grian: "Most of the time" isn't good enough,
Scar: Okay, so we plan while we run! Multitasking, Grian, multitasking~
Grian: That's just improvising a few seconds earlier!!!
Scar: I don't hear any planning going on~♪ Just complaining,
Grian: ...I'm going to blame you when this inevitably goes horribly wrong

Life Series Members rated by if they would fall victim to a cursed amulet that sucks out your soul in exchange for power, slowly turning you evil and crazy before you die.
Some explanations:
BigB knew the amulet was cursed and put it on for fun. Martyn knew it was cursed and put it on for power. Pearl did not know it was cursed when she put it on but was swayed by the new fun voice’s promise that no one would leave her and she would be able to keep everyone alive if she just did what it said.
Everyone in the second row did not know it was cursed. Talking down in this case means convincing them to remove the amulet. Scar and Ren can be talked down when they realize the amulet is killing them. Impulse and Skizz can be talked down when they realize they’ve abandoned their morals. Joel can be talked down by Lizzie because he loves his wife and if she was like “THIS ISNT YOU ITS THE AMULET! YOURE STRONGER THAN A STUPID AMULET!” I think it would work because he can’t have his wife thinking he’s weaker than a stupid amulet.
Etho, Gem, and Cleo would touch the amulet, hear it start to speak to them, and immediately tell it to screw off. Cleo might actually just start wearing it as an accessory while not listening to the evil voice trying to get her to do things.
The rest correctly identify the amulet as cursed and do not wear it. Bdubs, Mumbo, Grian, and Tango know better than to mess with that kind of stuff. Lizzie and Scott have too strong of a moral code. Jimmy is too scared of it.

taking notes on the hermitcraft charity livestream for my friend @pookapufferfish and also just anyone else who had to miss it 👍
these are going to be all over the place lol
i started my note-keeping like an hour or so into the stream so i dont have a lot of stuff from the beginning...
but: grian and scar opened the stream, showed off some of the items up for auction (like real wild life snails. i want one so bad but they're MASSIVELY out of my price range...)
POST-POSTING EDIT: I FORGOT THERE WAS AN IMP AND SKIZZ PODCAST. it wasnt really a traditional podcast though, martyn was asking them questions, a group of hermits would vote on who they thought had the best answer, and whoever lost got shocked by grian.
my most notable takeaway from the shock-cast is that if impulse could have any superpowers he'd want control over time, and skizz would want the ability to heal people. mmm yes food for the superhero aus
and then ren busted out this custom hermitcraft guitar that's also up for auction and played a song by green day
and then we got treebark content.martyn and ren ran the main stream for like 20 minutes
also we hit ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS really freaking fast. and they spun the wheel of chaos and it landed on ✨hermit boxing✨
ROBO-CLEO
okay now all that follows is liveblogging
i keep recognizing people in chat. like not even from mcyt spaces ive seen like three people who i know from skurry streams
martyn using they/them for cleo pog!!
THERE'S A JELLIE MURAL IN THE MINECRAFT OFFICE AWWW
irl guess the build / drawing... drawing things on whiteboards or building things and then guessing
cub is wearing a bob ross wig.
jimmy has built skizz's giraffe...
SKIZZ GIRAFFE REDEMPTION ARC GOES HORRIBLY WRONG
pearl has gorgeous handwriting
grian has obtained a cat keyboard and jimmy is beatboxing along
GEM GIRAFFE REDEMPTION ARC GOES INCREDIBLY RIGHT
they're gonna auction off the terrible drawings. i want one.
round two of guess the drawing / build has the most unhinged prompts ever. including the cursed creature mumbo built in the last permitmaster
it has gone off the rails incredibly fast
grian is just torturing everyone with nerf guns and whoopie cushions
jimmy is left handed
martyn's doing a dollar drive and it's not letting me donate because it doesnt take debit cards. now i need to somehow convince my dad to let me use his credit card... i'll pay him back but. gah. the hassle.
pearl and some person fighting in the background (who was apparently karn, her partner!)
TWO HUNDRED THOUSANDDDDDDDDDDDDD
joe and cub are boxing!! cub is still dressed like bob ross
it's been like 20 minutes and martyn is still going strong with the name reading. and about 30,000 dollars have been raised in that time alone
dimension 20 reference!
martyn's free from yelling names for now... in half an hour we raised SEVENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
zed and tango hosting the QUIET GAMESSSSSSS. 3 teams of two, imp and gem, ren and skizz, GRIAN AND JIMMYYYY. basically just a bunch of weird minigames where you have to be as quiet as possible. scored on how quiet you are and how well you do
first minigame is moving marbles with spoons but the spoons are attached to a cowbell
gem and impulse did good. skizz and ren did better then i expected. jimmy and grain instantly dissolved into anarchy. jimmy and grian had the most marbles, skizz and ren were surprisingly the quietest
okay the next game is so weird. knocking around ping pong balls with party popper blow kazoo things. but you hold the kazoo for your partner so it's weirdly intimate
someone in the chat described it as nightmare blunt rotation and that the most accurate description yet
someone else in chat has named skizz and ren team rizz and i hate everything
also i realize now that if theyd have done this with commonly shipped pairs the fandom would never shut up
despite the absolute chaos that was happening grian and jimmy won that round on both number of balls and quietness. grian may have slapped jimmy at one point. (he totally did)
the last one is EVEN MORE COMPLICATED. one person blindfolded navigating a minefield of bubblewrap and rubber chickens. another with jingle bells on their ankles and a big stick to smack their partner around.
gem immediately has grabbed the big stick with an evil look on her face
impulse is INCREDIBLY clumsy and gem is just whaling on him
"IT'S ALL BUBBLES!!!?!?" -- impulsesv
ren and skizz have a STRATEGY
ren is doing adorable little shuffley step-steps. "Robo-penguin Ren... Renguin" -- Zedaph
JIMMY IS MOUTHING "HELP ME" OMG.... GRIANS GOING TO BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF HIM...
but theyve got the best strategy yet actually grian's only kinda beating the shit out of jimmy... they might win this...
GRIAN AND JIMMY TAKE THE WHOLE THING HOME!!!!!!!! SKYBLINGS VICTORY!!!!!!! THE ONE NO ONE EXPECTED!!!!!!
wheel spin for 200,000 landed on "tortilla slap challenge" whichll be weird
the artworks from guess the build have gone up on the auction site and scar is very horrified over something skizz drew... a "sentient sock" that looks very... sus.
speed TCG time!!!!!!! i dont know much about TCG so im gonna try and maybe try and study a bit during this part (also also every 1000 dollars donated each player gets an extra item card)
joe is doing live TCG sound effects
neither joe or ren cant flip a coin to save their lives
pearl v cub. ren v joe. ren v cub.
TCG IS TOO CHAOTIC I CANT FOCUS ON TRIGONOMETRY LIKE THIS
also i need to learn how to play this it looks so fun
this is HEATED. and ren keeps getting armor stands and is so pissed about it
REN TAKES THE VICTORY!!! and they raised like 20,000 dollars in the process holy cow "THIS IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE GAME OF TCG EVER TO BE PLAYED" -- Joe Hills
ONE MILLION DOLLARS RAISED FOR GAMERS OUTREACH IN TOTAL
THREE HUNDRED THOUSANDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
300k wheel spin has unlocked NERF GUNSSSSS
also it's "donate x amount of dollars get your name on a sign on hermitcraft" time
cleobot is back!
scar is having a fantastic time running the main stream
GRIAN HAS COME IN AND BARRAGED SCAR WITH BULLETS.
it's tortilla tiiiiiiiiiiime
twich has a personal vendetta against me. it gives me ads right when the exciting things are starting.
scar is apparently on the board of directors at gamer's outreach now!!
IMPULSE V JIMMY. a draw. they are both invulnerable to tortillas.
TANGO V ZED. tango loses through laughter
IMPULSE V ZED. zed didnt get a single slap on impulse. a draw.
also all the hermits really really like to play scissors. in rock paper scissors.
"she removed both of my heads from my body..." -- RentheDog
THE GIRLIES ARE FIGHTING (ren and false)
SKIZZ V GRIAN TORTILLA FIGHT. skizz wins lolol
...im buying a sign
gem signed pearl's ankle.
OKAY I GOT REALLY DISTRACTED FROM MY LIVEBLOGGING. THERE WAS WAR. THERE WAS A MASSIVE NERF GUN WAR. IT INTERRUPTED THE SIGN PLACING.
and yeah... i bought a sign <3
but i dont even know how to cover the half of the nerf war. but there was a lot of hotguy and cuteguy action
grian was even using two pistols instead of a bigger nerf gun... just like cuteguy in ddvau... omg...
at one point scar became a tank. and jimmy wheeled him behind enemy lines and he sniped four people and won the round
and theyre starting to wrap up now, martyn's doing another dollar drive. we're at $375,000...
everyone is signing the pc in the background of martyn's mad line-spitting
TEN HOUR MARK
we need 10,000 dollars... then we'll hit 400k and martyn can rest his vocal cords...
SPARKBIRD GOT MENTIONED
since it's been brought up like 13 times on the stream today. hey. you. you, the person reading this. you just lost the game :3
FOUR HUNDRED THOUSANDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
holy cow. that wraps up day one!!!!
im gonna reblog this post in a bit with all the screenshots i took. because i took a lot of them lol.

Okay can we talk about Scott and his relationship with love and sacrifice throughout the seasons? Because like, there are some goddamn patterns First there's Third Life, and I like to say that this is Scott at his best. And by best I mean most emotionally available. Scott is very expressive during this season, because he loves Jimmy, and for that is keeping the peace. Scott is the mediator, he wants a happy life and he does his goddamn best to keep that life. And when he's forced to choose a side he does it with the people he's already friends with. And then Jimmy dies and he is heartbroken. And then when the self-sacrificing starts. Like Third Life is the definitive worst Scott has done and that's because he was entirely throwing caution out the window. He grieves Jimmy and then decides that it was due to him not being there, that if only he had been there (despite already dying and not having control of the situation) things would've been different. So he spends the rest of the season like a suicide-bomber, doing his best for his remaining friends. Then there's last life, and this is when Scott becomes closed off. After the grief of Jimmy and knowing how much feeling things hurts, he plays it different. He befriends Pearl because she's new and has something to give him, plus, she's volatile, a wild card. Chaos that can defend herself. So he treats it like a vacation. Of course he's still cautious, but now he's detached himself from his emotions. Obviously he stills cares about Pearl, she is his supposes reason for winning. But the way he treats emotions with Pearl and Jimmy are very different. He was way more earnestly open about his feelings with Jimmy. And when he decides to just go red from the boogeyman, that's another case of him loving his friends too much to go after them, and the only way he can help is to take action. When he wins it's for Pearl. But he doesn't end it with Pearl, he ends it with his pet axolotl. Something that is far less telling of his care for people.
And then when Double Life rolls around he realizes how much she actually cared about him. And that scares him. That scares him right off. The idea that if she gets him to open his heart again that he'll be hurt again. So he goes to Cleo who he knows won't care, they've always been closed off and sarcastic, they won't care if he upkeeps bonds or not, they won't care about the lovey-dovey. And throughout the whole season he's pushing Pearl away because he's scared of being opened back up. And at the end he knows he's done her wrong, so he does the thing Scott Smajor does best, decides that she deserves life more than him. Limited Life is god's most unhealthy coping mechanism ever. He went and got himself a surrogate husband who would ignore everything that would happen that season. Martyn does not give a damn about previous seasons unless your name is Ren. Scott picked the guy most likely to betray him and went "hey we're both sad and hurt, let's team up" and was sooo ready for Martyn to kill him. AND HE STILL CARES ABOUT HIM. He still checks up on him and helps with his Birthday and asks Martyn to kill him because he thinks his only use is dying for his loved ones. AND he offers up his life to both Cleo AND Jimmy this season. He is so twisted up in the past this season, and in an awkward phase of healing with Pearl. Secret Life is I think when we reach peak-standard happy-emotionless Scott. He's in his band and he is living life and ignoring the horrors. He's a friendly calm, collected, not showing fear guy. He says "I love you" to everyone and is infuriatingly collected when people spend entire sessions out to kill him. Of course he sacrifices himself to Gem TWICE this season. He has a problem. Real life is Pearl reconciliation hour. And then Wild Life. My god, Wild Life. Cleo is old reliable, Impulse is nice to team with, and he made up with Pearl. And for the first bit he's doing the norm, he's close, but not outwardly expressing it in tangible ways. And he's mister peacekeeper. But pearl and Impulse are messing it up, he's trying to be friends with Gem and Joel but his teammates are ruining this. And he's not the universal best friend. He's not the guy you casually hand around in his base with. He's teamed with Mister and Miss Chaos. AND HE ACQUIESCES, he goes "yeah, burn down their house. Yeah, kill that guy". His teammates, which he knows are the problem but goddammit Scott is loyal , so he decides Gem and Joel are ruining this. THEY have stripped away his persona. His trustworthy-ness. He guns it after both of them, his happy cracks and spills out anger. It's the second worst he's placed because he stopped trying to lie and listened to his emotions. +he's gotta let Pearl kill him, tis tradition. It's the fact that Scott within the life series is hated by the watchers due to his ability to LOVE. It's the fact they don't feed well off him because he doesn't hold tangible grudges. It's the fact that Scott loves so desperately and bad that he has tied his own well-being to how well others are doing, if Scott is doing well he gives it to his teammate because then it must be HIS fault that they're worse off. By being too nice and too calm, people don't realize his connections with people are real. And if they don't love him back then he won't have to be heartbroken. Scott has weaponized love, against the watchers, against his peers, and most importantly, against himself.

How does Ren find out Martyn's a changeling? Did he just walk in on him changing forms, did Cleo tell him during a fight? I could imagine it being really awkward for them afterward.
Picture me this:
It's been a while since the changeling attack on this world's version of Canterlot (Probably the Fairy Fort or an Empires location). Ren is happily trotting through Dogwarts, probably singing a song, on his way to visit his good good friend Martyn (who lives out in the woods for some reason). But when he gets there... there's a... A CHANGELING AT MARTYN'S LITTLE CAMPSITE! (Martyn usually wouldn't ever switch forms like this, knowing better than to be a changeling out in the open. But he wasn't expecting anyone to visit and had to get a good look at his weird sparkling wings).
Ren, who had just fought off a hundred changelings with his friends, immediately gets into a defensive position, pointing his magic at the creature and shouting for it to get away from Martyn’s stuff. Spooked, Martyn shifts back to his pony disguise and tries to convince Ren it's not what it looks like. Ren obviously doesn't believe it, so Martyn brings up a bunch of past adventures. And it's pretty obvious it's really Martyn when he starts trying to make jokes every 2 seconds.
Also if this was an actual show, it would cut to black right as Ren sees the changeling at Martyn’s campsite.
Then you get a whole episode of Martyn watching Ren struggle to keep his secret. Somepony is like "Hey Ren ^-^ Hi Martyn ^-^ how are you two today" and Ren is like "IM GOOD THANKS FOR ASKING AHHAHAHAHAH" and Martyn is like /) _ <)
And then at the end of the episode, Ren is like "Rosie, take a note :3" and "Dear Prince Scott ^-^ today I learned how to keep a secret." Meanwhile, Martyn is still shaking because Ren is the worst secret keeper on the planet.

I've seen a lot of people share their next Life series teams predictions so here are mine (+ a little explanations/headcanons underneath)
Ren + Martyn + Grian - I think about this team up on a daily basis. I NEED to see these three together like it's not even funny. If there was ever going to be a Life season without Martyn I totally imagine Ren teaming up with Grian. Not to mention I absolutely imagine Martyn and Ren getting into their weird little roleplay and Grian just watching them from afar, thinking over whether he and Scar were as bad on the desert as these two.
Scar + Pearl + Gem - not only the final 3 standing in Secret Life, but idk they just seem cool to me? Scar constantly getting himself in trouble and his girls saving him. Maybe similar situation with the previous team, with Pearl and Gem flirting and Scar watching them thinking "Awwww this is nice, this is just like me and Grian!"
Scott + Cleo + Lizzie + Joel - started off as Scott + Joel, but of course these two would rather kill each other (or more so Joel would kill Scott instantly). So I first added Cleo to them, to protect Scott from this feral dog of a man - and then Lizzie so that Joel finally gets something out of life. + Jizzie teamup at last :3
Mumbo + Jimmy + Skizz + BigB + Etho - gosh they'd be so silly. Southlanders but even more dysfunctional. Gives me Bamboozlers vibes where their negative number of braincells combined makes them into an actually pretty cool team. One of them would make it at least to the final 3, maybe even win (especially Etho with the winners prediction theory....... Hmmmm). Skizz would get to be a leader again and lead this group of wet cats to victory!
Bdubs + Impulse + Tango - Ngl at first they (+ Etho) were just kinda the leftover after I made the teams, but then the realization hit! HC7 flashbacks! The Boomers are back! The sweet but explosive yaoi polycule! I imagine Tango and Bdubs constantly barking at each other and Impulse having to be the one to stop them. (I was thinking of adding Skizz and Etho and making a combined TIES/BEST team but eeeeeh I like this idea more)
I am very open to negotiations but I also will fight you about them

Playground AU but the children are powerful supernatural creatures that just so happen to be children the parents drop off so that the poor caretakers have to deal with.
Grian and Pearl are avian fledglings, are are always seen digging up and eating bugs from the playground. They don’t have enough feathers to fly, but just enough to glide, and their love of heights makes it a common occurrence for them to start climbing on the bookshelves and tables.
Gem and Lizzie are fae creatures, and are from different courts. Gem is from the Summer Court, while Lizzie is the heir to the Spring Court. They have this… really creeping unblinking stare that bore into your soul. They trained the small animals from the nearby forest to attack people, and have on multiple occasions, let a bear try to maul someone.
Scott is a unicorn satyr. He can create rainbows, is always photogenic, and can heal minor wounds. What’s the issue you may ask? Scott will more often than not, waltz out of the building, plop down in the soccer field and begin eating the grass. He’s also very fussy about his clothes. One time a tree branch tore his clothes, so he used his horn to set it on fire, causing a minor forest fire.
Scar and Cub are vexes and are basically the twins from the shining. Always at the end of a hallway, asking for something. They also are entirely carnivorous, so they sneak out into the forest, find the nearest wild animal (squirrel, bird, a god forsaken wolf at one point), kill it and just… eat it. Blood gets everywhere, and both use the blood and viscera as art supplies. Scar once gave Grian a bird’s head, covered in glitter, stabbed on a stick covered in a mixture of blood and paint.
Joel is an ogre. He’s also quite temperamental. He’s also egregiously strong for his age and once threw an entire desk out the window. He often gets into fights, and has difficulty controlling his strength. He has currently destroyed a window, 2 desks, 4 chairs, 1 door, 12 bathroom doors, several paintbrushes, a wall, a concrete wall, a metal and wooden baseball bat, and the monkey bars.
Skizz and Impulse are an Angel and a demon respectively. Their true forms are enough to make anyone faint or go temporarily insane, and they can control the ambient temperature around them. Their clans are at constant war with the other, despite the two of them being extremely close, and whenever their parents pick them up, the two families immediately start fighting in the parking lot.
Bdubs is a sandman. He’s able to make dreams literally materialize out of sand, and he uses this to create giant sand kaijus, tanks, dragons, monster trucks, and even a castle, all made up of sand. He also has a bad habit of sleeping in the most weirdest and convoluted places in the school. They once found him on the school’s intercom system sleeping peacefully.
Etho is a boogeyman. He is a living nightmare, able to meld into the shadows themselves and cause horrific nightmares. Unfortunately, due to his inexperience with these powers, he often just ends up tripping into someone’s shadow or unleash a torrent of spiders into the classrooms. Did I forget to mention he’s made up entirely of spiders?
Jimmy is the token human. He’s just a dude who’s entore class is made up of the supernatural. He’s well liked, but often starts or gets roped into one of his classmate’s shenanigans. He’s also chronically unlucky, causing him to always be in the wrong place at the wrong time. He breaks a bone at least once a year and is a regular at the nurse’s office.
This is getting long so I’ll just list off the rest: BigB is a creaking dryad, Cleo is a zombie (duh), Tango is a blazeborn, Ren is a werewolf, Martyn is an oracle, Mumbo is a vampire, Zedaph is a jabberwocky, and Doc is a… goat cyborg thing.
Awhhhhh this is really cuteee :0
I have a feeling this etho and Scot wouldn’t get along 😭 a single spider crawls onto scotts jumper or smth and suddenly the buildings on fire :P

Past Life
This has absolutely nothing to do with my au, it’s just a little blurb that my brain was making up about a fake Life Series Season
Titled “Past Life”, everyone groups up ahead of time in order to coordinate. Because in this season, they get to sort of emulate past seasons or even past smps. This gives players the chance to have their skins ready from the get-go should they choose to have a themed skin.
People decide to make groups based on a season or SMP they’re each considering doing.

Team Evo:
-Pearl in her classic skin, except adds a hidden watcher/Evo logo onto it
-Grian changes his sweater to green, adds a hidden watcher/Evo logo onto it
-BigB in his classic skin, except adds a hidden watcher/Evo logo on it
-Martyn adds sunglasses and a badge to his skin, as well as a hidden watcher/Evo logo
-Jimmy adds sunglasses and a badge to his skin, as well as a hidden watcher/Evo logo
Team Empires:
-Lizzie as the Ocean Queen
-Joel as the Mazelean King (sorry if I misspelled it)
-Gem as the Head Wizard (sorry if I got the title wrong)
-Scott as Ruler of Rivendell
Team Secret Life:
-Cleo as a human
-Scar in his sunflower skin, changes to poppy/lilac one at his red life
Team Last Life:
-Bdubs in last life skin
-Etho
-Skizz (changes to red life skin at red)
-Tango in his classic skin
Team Hermitcraft:
-Impulse in his season 10 cyberpunk skin (changes to monochrome at red)
-Mumbo in his season 8 waffled-hair skin (changes to “moon big” skin at red)
-Ren in his season 9 diamond RenTheKing skin (changes to classic skin at red)
Some people choose to act like they did with the skins they chose (especially Martyn/Jimmy/Team Empires) but they don’t have to.
I’d imagine some pretty funny moments of Lizzie and Scott trying to get Jimmy to come and join them since they had somewhat close relationships with Empires Jimmy, and Martyn warding them off because that’s his fellow officer.
Do I know how the life mechanic would work in this or what the other gameplay mechanics would be? No, not really. I honestly just went into this thinking it’d be a fun idea. Especially having to put Joel and Scott on the same team, giving team BEST a second chance, and most importantly and dear to me, an Evo team up.
Evo SMP my beloved- I’m proud to say I watched Evo from start to finish as it got posted, it’s got a lot of nostalgia for me. (Mostly Grian’s pov tbh, but also a lot of Martyn, some Netty, and some Salem. I definitely didn’t watch all of them-)
But yeah, like I said, just a little blurb and thought I had earlier today. Gotta let your mind wander sometimes so that you don’t get stuck in a creative block when working on a bigger/longer project!

Past Life Episode Three Thoughts
(yes I am posting about e3 the day e4 came out shhh I was busy)
POVs Watched: Grian, Scott, Martyn, Joel, Ren, Etho, Gem
I swear, Grian had read the redoing gimmicks fan theories and said "we're not having the boogeyman this session" right at the beginning just to throw people off
This is the first time the Watchers have unambiguously communicated with players, right? They sort of did through the tasks in Secret Life, but this is just straight up telepathic manipulation
Grian finding Etho and then just deciding to also invite Joel 🤣. We know you're secretly a Boat Boys shipper Grian, it's ok
ETHO GEM I beg of you not to do a PVP fight every session. I really want one of you to actually win
HOW IS THE SQUARE HOLE STILL KILLING PEOPLE
I'm obsessed with Etho having made up a version of king of the hill around ladders
If we don't get a full eight episodes of Past Life I am holding Grian PERSONALLY responsible for it due to how many people the Square Hole has killed /silly
GRIAN HOW COULD YOU MISCLICK THE BED
Martyn is going to have a really short season I fear
Etho has just moved in with the Villies for this sesson and I kind of love it.
"It's for the greater good if we do our society task" Grian says, killing EIGHT PEOPLE
Top ten life series moments ever
Them trying to figure out who destroyed the ladder tower has the exact same tone as the "who broke it" audio
Grian almost successfully gaslighting everyone into thinking it was Scar is one of desert duo's funniest moments
"They don't know about us and Etho" Grian you could try to make the society sound less like an illicit polycule
Ok Grian CALLED THE WATCHER SIGN AT SPAWN THE WATCHER SIGN. The Watchers are just canonically part of the Life Series now, right???
Bdubs why do you need to tell a "manly" story? Etho, why did you refer to the Cabin Crew as the Tuff Guys to Tango? Neither of them have left the copper tower I fear.
I can't believe Flower Husbands are divorcing over the dragon egg
"Come on you pansys" Bless you Bdubs, I don't think you should say that
Etho admitting that he'd "seen something" to Scott. Scott: "We're Cabin Boys, we started out together". Etho: "That's just the way it is this time Scott, I'm sorry," Scott: "Fine" (affectionate) They're so wholesome it makes me SICK
Scott telling Jimmy to put his armor on after he said he wanted to end Jimmy's series earlier in the episode. Oh Flower Husbands why are you like this
Bdubs stop being possessive over Etho challenge impossible
Also Gem's "Why are these two constantly divorced." She is the voice of the fans as usual
Poor Scar asking if there's any room in the light house. He just wants to escape the toxic Ethubs and I undersand
Tango roleplaying peeing in the hot tub was something I genuinely never ever needed to experience
Cleo inviting Scott to join her team because she needs someone who can survive was so cute, I love them!
Scar immediately recognizing the whisper effect from Secret Life and calling it the "Shadow People." He's been so traumatized by that (and I love that cc!Scar has forgotten that bit of lore is not canon for everyone). Also I know Shadow People=Watchers is an extremely common headcanon in the fandom, but I think this basically confirms it considering we also know the Watchers are in Past Life due to Grian's episode
Scott and Ren flirting was not on my Past Life bingo card, but I guess it makes sense to invite him into the extended Scott polycule
"We don't do anything as a family anymore" Bdubs please for the love of god decide if this is Clockers 2.0 or not because you can't be homoerotically possessive over Etho if he's also your dad ISTG
Poor Scott is the househusband who just wants his working husband and stepkids to call him during the day
MARTYN PUTTING IN THE EYE OVER THE WHISPERING SOUND AHHHHHH
Martyn's first though for sword blocking is that he can use it to bow to people...he will always be Hand of the King
"You can't leave me alone Martyn, not again!" The Double Life feels! I'm obsessed with how much Cleo cares about Martyn when they're not soulbound.
Joel having read all the theories is taking me out. There are people I expect to do that and he is not one of them.
Joel wants to keep the boats in his walls 💕
ETHO CHECKING ON JOELLLLL. I'm actually going to cry that was the cutest thing ever. Smalletho feels, yeah, but also the fact that cc!Joel and cc!Etho are genuinely friends now makes me smile every time
"Sorry, I saw the lever, I had to pull it"-Joel. Silly Skizz, you'd think he knows people do that after teaming with. Grian for a season.
The way that Skizz's presentation is significantly more effective than any of the Tuff Guys' WL presentations
"[Etho's] acting a bit weird," Joel he asked if you were OK. I fear that's normal behavior (though he did hit the nail on the head so maybe it was just a vibe)
Joel's POV of the Secret Society meeting is actually the funniest thing ever because he has absolutely no idea what's going on
"We're all at a circus themed resteraunt...and unfortunately the food is made of bugs" Tango how would you even come up with that?
BDUBS YOU CAN'T USE IMPROV CLASS TO WORK OUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP ISSUES WITH ETHO 😭
Is Stefan going to enter into the lore as Etho's alter ego like BigB has Terry?
Bdubs and Skizz recreating lady and the tramp with a millipede in the pokiball roleplay was not something I had ever considered would happen
I love that the Gluten Guys' secret chest also has 61 wheat. Yes, it has food value, but at the same time why?
I'm actually obsessed with Etho saying "If we all don't play along, we won't have to worry about anything" right after the heard the whispers. Scott's passive anti-Watcher influence is STRONG apparently
Impulse talking to Ren like "I like your idea of making sure someone who has not won a previous season is in good shape to win this season." I can only imagine Impulse really deeply struggling not to point to himself because he doesn't want to destroy the alliance
As soon as Ren started walking toward the pyramid with all his animals, I thought "he wouldn't take the right next to the cactuses and lava, would he?" Low and behold, he would.
I think Skizz should just join the Gluten Guys and they can be RITS (prounounced Ritz)
Tango's first reaction to the multikill being "I'm so proud of him [Etho]" is actually the most wholesome thing ever
New Etholore from this session is that he cannot lie convincingly
The Gluten Guys putting up an emblem on the top of the pyramid...with every episode they inch closer and closer to reforming the Red Army
Etho getting harassed by the initiate message and lamely trying to tell Bdubs to leave him alone so he can decompress 😂
I'M GOING TO LOSE MY MIND WHAT DO YOU MEAN ETHO COMING TO CHECK ON JOEL WAS A PLOYYY. I WATCHED IT FROM JOEL'S POV AND THOUGHT HE WAS SINCERE I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE
Etho immediately sowing discord in the rejects. I see you trying to break up the competition
"This is a friendship ring" Skizz thinks he's avoiding the shipping gauntlet, unaware that he's just unlocked a new QPR in my mind
"Is this a real skin that you used? That's crazy!" Says the guy who's been dressed as Kakashi for as long as anyone can remember. Pearl does not deserve this.
Etho continually stealing from the Villies' chests throughout the episode is my favorite sideplot
Etho accusing Jimmy of "trying to steal my boy away" was certainly...a choice
"I'm not the glue or anything, I'm just the one whacky guy" oh sweet precious Etho, you are absolutely the glue and I don't know how you can't see it too
*shaking Bdubs by the shoulders* WHAT IS THE CABIN BOYS RELATIONSHIP! You're continually calling them your family, and just referred to Scott as an uncle, but you have a weird jelousy arc with Etho going so I don't know what's happening anymore. Also, if Scott is the uncle, who's brother is he? Etho breaking up with Cleo and marrying her brother would be really funny actually, but he could also be Etho's brother, in which case Etho and his kids having to move in with him is just the continuation of his deadbeat dad arc from WL
Grian getting worried Pearl will not cover for them when the ladder falls is so funny knowing that Pearl is actually their most vehement defender
"You're going to kill us all" Jimmy you have NO IDEA
I love Scott screaming in the background of the octokill in the exact same way he did for Grian and Scar's triple kill in 3L

So like, that scene in Double Life is insane. I don't have the words to analyze it yet so I'm jut going to describe it how I read it because I'm gnawing on it. I cannot believe I forgot this scene ever happened (or somehow skipped it in my earlier watchthroughs of both povs??)
Scott and Pearl had been really getting along all episode, like, they didn't argue much at all, they laughed together frequently, they worried about each other, on multiple occasions they called themselves a team without flinching. When Pearl wanted to go get her stuff, Scott volunteered to go with her, and actually asked Cleo and Martyn to stay back, and the whole time Scott and Pearl are in the tower and antagonizing the red names they really feel like a team.
And then they die. And they recoup in the bunker.
And Pearl..noticed, while they were being chased, that everyone was after Scott, not her. That they had something against Scott, not her. And.."They weren't going after me that entire time, I just feel like..maybe I should take the bigger team here, y'know? I mean you're a great partner and all, but.."
Scott is. Taken off guard. He sounds hurt, for a moment, and if he wasn't taken by surprise, he wouldn't have let himself sound hurt. "Are you gonna ditch me after this?!" Scott asks, and Pearl sounds almost ashamed as she tells him he deserves it; "Scott, come on, look how big that group is! It's just..look, don't make me feel bad, okay? It's my time to ditch you after the first episode, think of it as karma!"
This launches into maybe the most fascinating argument they've ever had about the breakdown of their relationship in episode one.
Scott snaps that from his perspective, this is all Pearl coming "full circle"! After all, she started the season by abandoning him, and now she's doing it again!
Pearl insists she didn't abandon Scott, that Scott abandoned her, and Pearl can't be blamed for spending the episode with Martyn- Scott spent it with Cleo, they both just went to the first person they found!
Scott points out that he and Cleo actually met the other soulmate pairs, they were looking for their soulmates, they knew Pearl and Martyn were their soulmates from almost as soon as they met up because they'd been looking!
Pearl argues that she and Martyn did look, they made that minigame to find their soulmates!
Scott reminds Pearl that they did that at the very end of the episode, after everyone else was "loved and doved up", after Scott and Cleo had ample time to know noone was looking for them!
And then Pearl changes her argument, she tells Scott that Martyn would have died in the nether without her, and that Cleo would have died too, so Scott should be appreciative, really, that Pearl basically saved Cleo! Which..certainly must not have felt like the most coherent argument to either of them.
It's at that point that Scott seems to give up. "Right." he replies, dully, after a very long moment of silence, before adding, as if on instinct, "Lets get out of here". And Pearl challenges him, "Lets?", because wasn't the whole premise that Pearl wasn't going to stick with him?
As they climb out of the bunker, Pearl seems to feel compelled- and it feels like guilt, to me- to talk again. She tells Scott that this is good for both of them, really, that Pearl's keeping them both alive. It's not..ditching him, it's a tactical split-up. Of course, it's hard to believe that when this argument came second to "I am ditching you and you deserve it". Maybe he's not thinking about it, or maybe he notices how frantic Pearl sounds to come up with something she can believe. Either way he doesn't mention the subtle backtracking.
Pearl asks why Scott is staying with the yellows. Scott replies- and he sounds..tired? For lack of a better word? And almost a little pained?- that he can't kill Cleo, he can't do it. Pearl argues that Scott doesn't have to kill Cleo, but I'm sure she knows that's semantics. Scott tells her that he can't help anyone kill Cleo either.
Pearl repeats that this is a strategic advantage, really. Scott is quiet for a long time. Uncharacteristically quiet when he says "Okay."
Pearl promises not to kill Cleo herself, but.."If I'm with the red team, I can't say I'm not gonna help them- Cleo's still on their yellow life, Scott, come on! They're fine!" Pearl laughs. It doesn't sound like a happy laugh. Scott doesn't reply to her statement directly, instead regaining some composure to tell Pearl that "The moments we got to be together, Pearl, were nice while they lasted", a sentiment Pearl echos.
"Tilly next time", Pearl jokes, laughing. It's too forced, and Scott doesn't give much of a laugh in return either. "I appreciate you." Pearl stops to say before she leaves, and Scott returns with "Tilly death do us part", a play on the pun Pearl made before, the same words Scott would say before blowing himself up to give Pearl the win she deserved more.
GUYS THIS SCENE IMPACTED ME IN A WAY NO OTHER LIFE SERIES SCENE HAS BEFORE THIS SCENE WILL NEVER LEAVE MY HEAD WHAT. This is why we need regular rewatches, people, otherwise we somehow forget incredibly deeply impactful characterization moments for our favorite characters???
#trafficblr#traffic smp#scott smajor#pearlescentmoon#double life smp#it's a traffic jam#genuinely a little bit embarrassed i missed/forgot this#to be fair i have *really* bad memory problems generally so like. being kind to myself.#but the fact that i've not been incorporating the best scene ever into any of my analysis?#wild

i have now officially watched all the POVs of all the Past Life members, so for you poor fools with jobs who cant watch them all I shall rank and give descriptions on my faves, in my watch order and color coded by team- SPOILERS OBV.
Grian: Always a comfort cc, but i really enjoyed is POV, his interactions and his ascent to insanity.
Scott: He is so good at talking his POV could never be boring. He and Etho clicked so well from the start and I loved it!
Joel: He is Ogre. And the most humble ever. Funny as always.
Cleo: Love them with all my heart. Her wit never disappoints.
Ren: He was less teatrical than usual, so just about 2000% more than everyone else.
Scar: How he lives is a mystery. But always so fun.
Skizz: Man really gotta pick if he wanna play good or bad cop...
Gem: Even when she is sick she is great. Cant wait for her to achieve her full villain potential.
Jimmy: I was rooting for you. Yet you fuck up so massively all the time.
Bdubs: WHY CAN HE BUILD IN BETA THIS IS NOT FAIR. Also we almost didn't have Ethubs this season, that was scary...
Impulse: He is not a bread boy, he is a gluten man.
BigB: Honestly. If you don't watch him you are missing out on an entirely different series. THIS SEASON WITH MORE INTERACTION THAN EVER.
Etho: He was like a happy kid showing off his knowledge of the game, man is in his element in the past.
Tango: He is not bread boy, he is gluten man. Would be great if he actually could farm wheat.
Martyn: No EVO reference from you? My good sir i am disappointed/j Edit: YK WHAT, THE FLASHBACK WOULD HAVE TO HAVE BEEN ABOUT PEOPLE BEING NAKED WOULDNT IT MISTER LITTLEWOOD.
Pearl: She is emo. She is with Gem. This is the season she wins without PTSD.
If u where to watch only one POV from each team my suggestion is the one i HIGHLIGHTED.
Orion Out-
#past life#past life smp#life series#i like yapping so much#if u actually read this i love you are you ok?
