Impulse: Martyn?

Impulse: What's up, dude!

Impulse: Are you having a fit of Nether Envy?

Skizz: Dippledop!

Skizz: Did you finally get the goodies for the golden booties?

Impulse: Sure did!

Skizz: Nice! I'm gonna tell Scarface & co you're coming soon.

Impulse: Could you take care of the smelting for us, Mr. Game Master Man?

Tango: Well gee, how can I not when you ask so nicely!

Martyn: Wait, you're going to the Nether? Now?

Impulse: I am! Unless Skizz decides to reclaim his spot, that is.

Skizz: Well uh

Mumbo: I think it's best we don't gamble our waning amount of lives on a resource run.

Skizz: Yeah what Jumbo Jet said!

Impulse: My god you're so whipped, dude.

Skizz: AM NOT!!

Tango: Your order's ready! One pair of booties coming up!

Impulse: Thanks dude! I'll grab the quartz and be right ba-

Martyn: Quartz. Got it. I'll hook you up.

Impulse: wh-

Tango: Okay, bring some glowstone too if you find any~

Impulse: Wait wait wait wait

Impulse: You can't just grab a man's boots like that!

Martyn: Tough, I just did.

Impulse: Come on, man! I was raring to go!

Martyn: And now you'll get to experience the joy of anticipation for even longer! You're welcome.

Impulse: You-

Impulse: Listen-

Impulse: You don't have to risk your life for our redstone components!!

Martyn: No worries, I was going to go to the Nether regardless.

Martyn: You guys can just owe me double.

Impulse: Double?..

Joe: Long story.

Joe: But hey

Joe: Aren't you forgetting something?

Joe: Jimmy still hasn't come down.

Start Over -- Go Back

================================================

sorry for the long wait!! i was really sick for a week, in brain fog for about another week, and then i felt like i've lost the hang of making this story. i still don't feel confident about this post but i gotta start again somewhere! thanks for sticking around!

[mrfroag]

Pov you’re Jimmy solidarity

[dredgesnails]

i know grian said he didn't know who got what powers (other than his own), but either he was lying about that or whoever did assign them knew exactly what they were doing because they feel like they've been made FOR them.

some of them are really obvious, like bdubs controlling time (both through speed and by sleeping), cleo getting to raise the dead (and grian getting to see skizz and mumbo again as a result), pearl getting to fly (arent her goggles and wings so moth-like? they are to me) and lizzie being a literal Shadow Lady. joel, bigb and scar all got powers that connect to their characters this season, like joel's affinity to parkour and bigb's whole creaking deal and scar really wanting to punch people far (and he's making a rollercoaster. what do you do with rollercoasters? you ride them...). etho "did that make you jump" slab gets to (literally) jumpscare everyone on the server and of course theatre kid rendog gets to pretend to be other people (he's also one of the few people who subbed in for another player during a prior season).

martyn's fits his lore as listener so well, grian's got the most watcher-like abilities of them all, and gem getting being able to see traps and communicate with the dead (one of whom is only there because he tried too hard to kill her) is brilliant with how she plays the game like she's got more control than anyone else (hello watcher/listener...?). finding connections with scott and impulse's powers might be more of a reach but to me they fit well because scott generally comes across as harmless and peaceful but he's also almost literally become a sacrificial lamb, and impulse switching places with other people makes me think of third life and his double crossing playing both sides schemes.

tango's might be my favourite because the frostwalker ability is so decked out deepfrost citadel to me, and he also gets to flee with extra flee (my personal favourite catchphrase of his). also (not to overanalyse) jimmy's power fits so well into his overall narrative as a canary who's broken his curse: he's never made it to a final episode, he's been grian's guardian angel (always watching, never seen) and with the canary gone from the mines there's nothing to warn the others so they're dead before they realise they're in danger.

Tango can go buckwild as a treat 🙏😔

[tango-but-everywhere]

you know someone said “ok now let’s do a silly one” (tango is the only one that actually did a silly face, though good effort to joel and impulse)

from pearl’s twt

[ID: a photo from real life of some of the hermits in front of the twitchcon logo. from left to right it’s joel in the back, doing a peace sign and sticking his tongue out; gem, crouching down in front and doing a similar pose; tango in the back doing a funny face; scar in front, waving, smiling, maybe sticking his tongue out; impulse crouching down behind scar, grinning; pearl, crouching in the front, grinning like impulse; then skizz and cub are huddled together, skizz behind cub, both grinning, skizz hugging cub. end ID]

RANCHERS ON SCAR POV 🫶🫶🫶

Tango: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Tango: GIMME GIMME GIMME

Skizz: Joeseph! Not a moment too late

Skizz: Me and Jumbo Jet were just coming up for some fresh air!

Mumbo: And for some fresh not-getting-murdered. Mainly the latter.

Joe: May I offer you some fresh bread as well?

Joe: It's no steak but by Jeb does it exist and count as food.

Tango: Mh mhfm mmmfmmy fmfmrfff! (I can finally regenerate!)

Joe: Is Impulse coming?

Mumbo: Dip- I mean- Impulse says his soulmate is keeping both of them healthy so he'll explore the left branch some more.

Joe: Huh. Must be nice to be paired to someone so responsible.

Tango: Mfpfhmp

Martyn: Haha. Yeah.

Martyn: You know, this all reminds me...

Martyn: There was some important question I wanted to ask...

Martyn: Hmmmmm

Martyn: Oh yeah!!

Martyn: How does it feel to be the first on yellow, eh?

Martyn: Eh?

Martyn: Little yellow boys~

Mumbo: Martyn, do I need to remind you-

Skizz: HEY!!!!

Skizz: You leave my buddy alone!!

Skizz: The yellow of our names is like GOLD to me!

Skizz: A gold medal of LOYALTY!!

Skizz: So you BETTER RESPECT IT!

Martyn: ...kaaaaay?

Martyn: So what have you guys been up to anyway?

Tango: Hooo boy, where do I even begin-

=> Martyn: Listen to Tango's insightful and crucial flashback

Start Over -- Go Back

[renthedevil]

have jimmy on the brain so here's some doobles of an au that i've had in my brain for a hot minute :]

(au notes below)

STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS PLOT ABOUT THE AU

FEEL FREE TO STEAL THIS I'M NOT PLANNING ANYTHING WITH IT :D (and please keep in mind that i haven't seen everyones pov so some stuff is not cannon accurate lol) this is set in empire season 2 (around the time the rift open so we can have ranchers), with the empires 1 characters being a sort of greek pantheon(?) that pix is studying. Anyway- the codfather is supposed to be a god of the forsaken, forgotten ,and the damned who is either reincarnated as jim or is giving his power to jim cause he's deemed worthy of it. never quite worked out that part. so jim starts getting codfather features and is like 'o shit fish powers'. tumble town also starts turning into an oasis. he goes to the great witch shelby cause he thinks someone cursed him but she's like 'hm, no you somehow got ancient power somehow? let's go to pix and see if he knows anything about it.' then they go to pix who's all 'HOLY MOLY YOU GOT CODFATHER POWERS THAT EXPLAINS THE FLOODING-' turns out that other kingdoms (particularly anyone who makes fun of jim *cough cough* joel) are flooding really badly and nobody knew why. pix and shelby start working with jim to control his new abilities. they all agree to keep it on the down low but jim tells tango cause ranchers :] the whole thing comes to a head when joel finds out it's jim who's been (unintentionally) destroying his kingdom with floods and storms. he yells at jim about it and in turn jim goes absolutely ape shit- turns into a kaiju or smth and erases the very memory of joel from existence (or something like that) eventually they're able to calm him down steven universe future style. jim puts the memory of joel gets put back into existence and the two learn the importance of communication. yippee! happy ending for all!!

[no-oneknowsmyname]

an underrated duo

[afraid-of-the-deep-sea]

As someone who hasn't watched a lot of last life I gotta say I always perceived team BEST as like a tight knit group, sorta like team ties. However like I'm watching bdubs pov rn and it feels more like a family going on to a theme park and nobody wants to be there. Like initially it started off fine and everyone was excited, but then it turns out the lines were longer than expected. And one of them wants to go on this big fuckass rollarcoaster and then it has a wait of like 3 hours, but by the time they realise that it's not worth it they're already in too deep. Then Etho like complains each time he sees the price of themepark food, so they don't buy anything, and then bdubs eats the gum tango bought and tango cannot let that go so he's passive aggressive the rest of the day. And meanwhile Skizz is trying REALLY HARD to make the day work and keeps insisting bdubs and tango just hug it out, but ETHO keeps stirring the pot and making jokes even tho tango is about to throw hands, and it's just a whole mess. Like those have been the vibes in my head
