NB: Spotify is missing the Sparkadia track bc ofc it is, but the others are complete.

.zip download contains front and back covers, all tracks as mp3s, notes, tracklisting, and lyrics.

Notes:

This is a fanmix that covers both season 5 and season 6. Each has 8 tracks, and focuses on a particular storyline or arc. The vibe is quite dark, emphasising the possession and danger that the Vex bring that Cub and Scar have to deal with. I wanted it to feel kind of trippy, dreamy, uncertain. Vibes where you're not quite sure of yourself, but you can't really stop it at this point, just live through it as best you can.

Songs were selected partly for the lyrics, partly for the Vibes. You can definitely read some of these as alluding to Cub/Scar shipping, as I ship them myself, but it's not essential. You could also read it as the strong bonds they've forged as friends and fellow Vex as well if shipping isn't your thing.

The first arc covers the call of the Vex, Cub's flight to space so that Scar can earn his Vex head, and then the descent into possession, amnesia, and not being in charge of your own body and the terror that brings when you come back from it.The final track brings us to the ConVex Cathedral, the holiest of holy places on the season 5 server, where worship, blood, and offerings were given to the Vex, either by choice or by force.

The second arc covers the Civil War. With a new season comes a new venture, ConCorp, and their bid to extend their control over the server. We see the teams coming together, mustering whoever might be coerced into helping. Cub's left to deal with this, to watch and act and get together with Scar when he's able to plan their moves and profit from the war. These songs get to Cub's loneliness without him. 'Setting Sun' is both about Vex possession, as much as it's about fireworks, and the weapons of war. Things kick off, as they must, until ConCorp declares victory and escapes to the Country Club. The final track is what I imagine you might hear once the battlefield is empty and the fires are still burning and the broadcast is still going, capturing nothing but the still sadness of loss, grief, and betrayal.

(back cover under the cut bc this post is long enough already)

UPDATE:

Scar getting insistent about having a hot tub... making it a major part of their Thing this season,

*flashback to numerous Convex hot tub moments*

Convex AU no. infinity

Hear me out:

A comedy AU where Scar’s an eclectic millionaire and Cub’s his bodyguard, but Scar keeps getting into more and more insane Situations and Cub needs to rescue him.

Scar, over the phone: Cub help I’ve been tied to some traintracks by an evil meanie-

Cub, who literally just went to grab sandwiches: SCAR, THERE ISN’T A TRAIN NETWORK FOR LIKE- 20 MILES??

Scar: …

Cub: …

Scar: …

Scar: …He had a fast car?

[pureconvexenergy]

I, in fact, couldn't help myself

Soon the vex shall be mine! MINE!

Martyn once convinced the Convex there were mountains bigger than the universe itself.

Cub gets extremely gullible when tired. You can tell him anything and he'll just look up at you with the widest, innocentest eyes and go 'woah, really?' in the smallest cutest voice ever.

And Scar will believe anything Cub tells him.

There was one Hermit party, where they stayed up 36+ hours straight in celebration of Season 8. And at one point, this happened:

Scar: Cub how big is the universe?

Cub: *considers*

Cub: y'know like... A really big thing?

Scar: yeah?

Cub: well the universe is bigger

Scar: woah

5 mins of eepy contemplation later

Scar: Cub? when you said 'really big thing', what were you thinking of? Because I was thinking, like, a mountain or something. Is the universe really bigger than that because there are some really big mountains

Cub: *thinks*

Cub: I dunno maybe

Cub: *thinks some more*

Cub, to Martyn going past: What's bigger a really really big mountain or the universe?

Martyn, as a joke to see how gullible Cub actually is when he's tired: The mountain?

Cub: ...woah

Scar: that's really big

...and they spent the rest of the night telling other Hermits there were mountains bigger than the universe itself.

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH-

MY- THE-

CUB-

WHAT ABOUT CUB-

CUB WOULD BE DEVASTATED AND SL!SCAR WOULDN'T ACTUALLY KNOW WHO HE IS.

HC!SCAR WOULD BE PINING-

MY CONVEX-

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY BELOVED?!

(/j i love me some convex angst this is such a cool idea)

Thinking about an au where the Watchers show SecretLife!Scar that Hermitcraft exists, and then makes a deal to swap his and HC!Scar's places cause the emotions and the entertainment are too tempting

Like, imagine HC!Scar alone in the sunflower fields with the graves of his close friends, while SL!Scar has to pretend to be someone he's not so he can keep seeing the people he never got the chance to be friends with

[pureconvexenergy]

He is contemplating

I saved a picture of contemplative Cub for meme format reasons, and now he's just judging everything else in my gallery.

Including Weezer but Cub.

[pureconvexenergy]

Sculk!Cub and Secret Life!Scar true OTP

Be besties with someone so much that you can both angst in different timelines and universes but still somehow meet up together

[pureconvexenergy]

hehe them

They make me incredibly happy all the time.

their favourite hobby is annoying their friends and being weird together

[pureconvexenergy]

Nope-

Nu-uh not gonna cry-

Not gonna- uh

Fuck I'm leaking from the eyes again-

God I love ConVex please they need to come back

(not the freaking 'Partner in crime' quote again that fricking breaks me every time man-)

what do you even know about cub and scar

[pureconvexenergy]

Headcanon 44

Cub listens to audio of Scar rambling when he gets overstimulated by noise.

The sculk gave Cub amazing hearing (he will always hear your sneak attacks and know exactly where you're hiding), but it's incredibly overstimulating, and he hates 'being rewarded for becoming a monster'. He tried to get rid of it by damaging his hearing, until Scar noticed and tipped Impulse off on him similar noise-cancelling earbuds to the ones Ren uses for his dog-hearing for his birthday.

Now Cub wears them whenever he needs to focus, or when he has to handle huge crowds or many loud noises at once. He used to listen to music, but after being calmed so much by the comfort room, Scar recorded over 200 hours of yapping about space, and how safe/wonderful Cub is, with more coming every single week, just for Cub.

Cub absolutely loves them, but once Grian found them by accident and almost went insane after hearing just 3 minutes of it.

Convex golf my beloved

We love Convex content in our Cub videos. Especially playing silly games together.

Scar being incredibly excited about the golf-

golf is back hell yeah

SHOOTING STARS DON'T SHINE THEY BURN - HOTGUY AU - PROLOGUE

Disclaimer link -- next chapter -- latest chapter

TWs in the tags

PoV Scar

As the masked gang member lands a hit that sends me reeling into the brick wall at the back of the alley, the truth sinks in.

This is how I die.

My wheelchair’s been discarded at the side, I have no other mobility aids, even if they did let up. But they’re not going to. I know they’re not going to. They said Goat sent them.

The last I saw Goat, real name Doc Metzger, leader of the former-gang the NHO, he was being locked behind bars, while I went free. The last I heard of him, he was swearing he’d get me killed.

Apparently he was correct.

There’s a solid crack, pain shooting from my skull down my spine, as my head hits the wall. Blood pours from my broken nose. My shirt is stained red. I collapse on the ground. A kick in the ribs from another gang member. My bruised and bleeding arms hug close to my chest, some way of protecting my vital organs, and I let out a yell for help. A kick right to my chest serves as punishment, winding me, breaking at least one rib. Stopping me screaming again. They keep their foot on my neck, hard. I struggle for breath as they put more and more pressure.

‘This is for the NHO, Jangler.’

I try to look confused, as if they haven't caught me, but all that I feel and show is terror. Pure, burning, terror, that at any second they’re going to break my neck and I’ll be dead.

You deserve it.

Not like this.

You’re a murderer.

They were bad people.

So are you.

I’m scared.

Good.

‘Ease it. Before he dies too quickly.’

And then the pressure lifts, a little. Relief. Life. I gasp for breath, coughing and spluttering. I taste the tang of metal. 

Then the gang member who spoke draws a knife.

My heart only races faster as I try to claw away. They pin me down, all of them. One tears off my shirt. I start crying.

A pinprick of pain as they hold the knife against my throat.

‘Please-’ The words don't want to come. ‘You got the wrong-’

They stab. A scream tears from my throat as they ram the knife through my shoulder.

‘Don’t fuck with us, Scar GoodTimes.’

They know my real name too.

Fuck.

They twist the knife, and then yank it clean out. Another scream. There’s a quiet laughter from someone in the group. I don't know which one.

They stab again. This time my arm. Tears run salty and bloody down my face. The sky blurs above me, the shining sun burns.

‘Wh-what do you want?’ I choke out. ‘I’ll do anyth-’

The blade stabs into my neck. Enough to hurt. Not enough to kill. I fall silent.

‘We want you to keep your fucking mouth shut while we hurt you, and break you, and only then kill you.’

‘Shouldn’t we take this somewhere else?’ Another gang member murmurs.

‘Let it be public. Let poor little Jingler watch us kill his-’

Police sirens.

They shriek, growing louder and louder and closer and closer. One of the gang swears, loudly. Another flees immediately.

The one with the knife slashes my throat, before running.

Blood. Everywhere. In my mouth, on the ground, over my scrabbling hands as I try to stem the bleeding from the gaping chasm in my neck. I can't scream. My body still forces a gargling wail from my mouth, sending free another flow of blood.

Then someone’s next to me.

They hold my shirt firm to my bleeding neck, moving me to my side and into a recovery position. All while talking, frantic, on the phone, for an ambulance. Part of my dying brain tells me I’m hallucinating them, because they’re dressed in full pink spandex, with a flimsy yellow cape tied around their neck, and yellow pants over their pink tights. Somehow, while dying, I’ve imagined the most cartoony of superheroes into existence. And most of all, if the writing across their chest is anything to go by, their name is Wormman.

Still on the call, they pull a piece of paper from a pocket I can't see, and then a pen. There’s writing on it already. They hold it up.

IS THERE ANYONE I SHOULD TELL ABOUT YOUR SITUATION?

I nod, as much as I physically can, over and over, until Wormman, who I’ll believe is real, hands me the pen. I desperately scrawl down a name and a location.

CUB - STARGAZERS

Wormman nods, pulling out another bit of paper.

I’LL FIND THEM AS SOON AS YOU’RE SAFE.

The words blur, and I fall unconscious.

Beep beep.

Beep beep.

Beep beep.

Beep beep.

The heartrate monitor is the first thing I comprehend upon waking. The constant, steady beat, in time with my thudding headache. And then the relatively soft pillow beneath me, the feeling like I’m wrapped in bubblewrap, my body still numb. I’m in hospital. I survived. I manage to open my eyes, just a little, fighting the blinding lights. Enough to see there’s someone next to me. Black hair. Glasses. A box of tissues in their shaking hands.

Cub.

I open my mouth to speak and he shakes his head.

‘Don’t,’ he says. ‘The doctors say you can't talk until you’ve fully recovered.’

There’s tears in his red eyes, and down his cheeks. He looks exhausted. 

How long has it been?

I move my arm, finding it attached to several wires and tubes. A blood transfusion, the heart monitor, other things I’ve never known the name or purpose of. My other arm is freer, reaching up to my neck to find a tube sticking out of it. A tracheotomy tube. For breathing. After-

The panic of the street returns to me, the pain, the blood, thinking I was going to die.

Wormman.

Wormman saved my life.

A superhero called Wormman, dressed in pink spandex, saved my life.

After everything I did, he saved my life.

‘Scar?’ Cub put a hand on mine, sensing my mental drift. I nod, some signal of ok-ness I don't feel. There’s a notepad in his pocket I try to signal towards. ‘Oh- of course, man-’ He hands it to me. I manage to write something in terrible handwriting.

What happened? 

‘I don't know everything,’ Cub says. ‘But this superhero-looking guy ran into the cafe, covered in blood, a couple days ago, asking for me. He said you’d been attacked on the street, you were heading to hospital. I got over here as fast as I could, but had to wait for you to be out of IC. I think it was 3am I was allowed in. Jim and Lizzie came around to see you yesterday when they got off work. Joe’s been here most of the time. The nurse said your throat had been slashed, if this superhero guy hadn't been there-’

Cub starts sobbing. I squeeze his hand as he just completely breaks down. Somewhere in the distance, through the fog of the anesthetic wearing off, I hear footsteps running over. 

‘Hey, it’s alright, Cub,’ Joe says as he crouches next to Cub. Part of me just accepts that someone as esoteric as the crazy guy who works in the gamestore above Cub’s cafe is here. ‘It’ll be alright. Scar’s a survivor.’

No. No I’m not.

That was just luck.

‘I- I know…’ Cub mutters back, through the tears. ‘I know. Notch-’

‘I can't even fathom how hard this is for you right now, But Scar survived. And he decided to wake up as proof. How are you feeling, Scar?’

I struggle for the right word.

Changed. I write.

‘Changed?’ Cub frowns. ‘What do you mean?’

I give a small signal to Joe, that I want to talk about it in private. The thoughts persisting in my mind.

I should've died.

But the universe wanted me to live.

It wanted me to have a second chance to do good.

Images of what I did, what me and Cub did, sheltered from blame by carnival masks, alter egos, and the influence of ‘Vex Magic’, flash through my mind. No more. I can’t do that anymore. If the universe itself wants me to live, I need to make it worthwhile.

I need to do good.

Joe, understanding my signal, excuses himself. I turn to Cub. He speaks first.

‘Do you know who hurt you? Beyond connection to Goat? Because we need to-’ Cub stops as I vehemently shake my head. ‘Scar?’

I grab the paper again, writing something else. Something just for Cub’s eyes.

No more revenge.

‘I’m not letting this go, Scar. You could've died.’

Revenge got us into this mess.

I don't want us to be the bad guys anymore.

This makes Cub pause. And eventually nod.

‘Ok.’ Silence for a moment, as Cub struggles to comprehend letting these people go, letting them live, unpunished. We both know how far he’ll go for me. We both know that just got us here.

I think back to the mysterious Wormman. Who, knowing nothing about me, except that I was hurt, saved my life and told Cub. I want to be like that. I want to fight crime by saving lives, not taking them. I scrawl something down on the paper, a decision more certain than anything I’ve thought for a long, long time.

I want to be a superhero.

Please. Give me this, but Convex.

I want Scar teaching Cub how to Life Series

!!Life series idea!!

I was randomly thinking of the life series since a new season is coming and I got an idea that might be bad, could be fun. I have no clue what it would be called, maybe something like 'Hunger Life' and that will make sense in a moment. This would be a one off because this idea is insane and no really sustainable for long term playing.

Basically the usual players are all tasked with choosing someone outside of the life series sphere. The choices can sort of be from any server but it would most likely be their friends/maybe partners.

These people become Tributes for the og players (like hunger games sort of - i'm thinking song birds and snakes style where Lucy was Snows tribute).

Two different versions could come from this:

the tributes fighting while the ogs get to watch in spectator mode (the more boring option for the ogs but is still an option).

The ogs are teamed with their tribute (this can either be just like district like or double life style where their hearts are tied.)

This means there are up to 36 players in this one thing (if every single lifer has a tribute which some can opt out), it would be chaotic and that's why it would only really be able to be a one time thing.

I kinda just want to see people outside the life series but are friends with members involved.

Possible Duo's/District pairs

Scott (Smajor) + Shelby (Shubble)

Scott (Smajor) + Cam (Camba010)

Pearl (escentmoon) + Cub (Cubfan135)

Cleo (ZombieCleo) + Joe (JoeHillsTSD)

Someone + Aimsey

Someone Else + Guqqie

Its a dumb fun idea and it would feed the chaos and the lore could be wild! If anyone wants to suggest more duos in the comments, feel free, feel free to expand on the idea too, maybe give some lore ideas.
