#And the winner Scott

[ohnonotthehorrors]

Can I... talk about the theory that winners help craft the next game?

Because, and I really can not say this enough, it puts So Much into perspective.

Everything starts out Normal. Three lives, simple, cut and dry, there hasn't been a winner yet. No one to help craft the game. (And there's something to be said about how simple it really was. Not even a real expectation of the world becoming pvp or combative. No idea of the war to come)

Then Grian wins. The green killer, the man who vowed his first life to the one whose life he took. The next game the boogie man is born. A mechanic that allows and, in fact, demands, a green kill. People can trade lives back and forth, currency and debt wrapped up in one. (can we still be friends? Said the red partner. A life time later and reds are hostile, alone. Maybe it's an answer: No. Not anymore)

Scott wins this time. He refuses to play the game. He will not kill his team, he will love and he will do so fiercely and with all of himself. The next game people are attached through to their very souls. Every bit of damage to one soul is done to its twin. There is no boogeyman. (There is no way for a widow to be left without their love)

Pearl wins and she wins a blood bath. Spent the game draped in red, only wolves for company. Sitting in her tower, shivering in ice, maybe she wanted it to end. To see where it would. Limited life rewards you for killing, limited life has a clock tick tick ticking down, you always no how long you have. A curse yes, but a blessing too.

Now It's Martyn's turn.

And what a turn it is.

Keep your secrets, says the disloyal man, keep them well. Everything hurts, everything Matters, says the man fracturing with every loss. (What if we could love each other without hurting? Says The Hand, who never wanted to be coated in blood)

More importantly, Martyn has always seen the watchers below the surface. Now, they're right here in front of him. Something that could almost... be rebelled against, no? Something that someone else could finally point to and say: hey, hey isn't that familiar?

Your reward is a world made barren by your own hand

New player at the winners table…

Few months after the final but im cool like that ya know

[koallebear]

Painful as it was in the beginning, it only feels glorious now

[azusxi]

so… now the winners’ squad is made of two strangled pairs of soulmates who murdered each other at some point in time after devoting themselves to their partner that now they just don’t know where they stand on because the love, betrayal, nostalgia and hate blend themselves in both memories and emotions

and then there’s martyn

i like to headcanon that after every game, all the previous winners + the new one sit together in some sort of void, where the watchers can’t see them. A blind spot of theirs.

Reasons why I like the (old) winners' poem and why Martyn as "mars" is the superior version. Over explained and pure info dump because I'm insane and I wanna talk about it before Secret Life is over :]

"The sun, the stars, the moon and mars"

First of, pure melody. "Sun" and "stars" both start with an s, and both "moon" and "mars" starts with an m. But also, but "sun" and "moon" ends with an n, and "stars" and "mars" even properly rhymes (both ending with "ars").

But also the fact that the words go together (besides all being celestial bodies. Which is also a nice touch, but not the point I'm necessarily trying to make here). The sun and the stars are all stars, and the moon and mars are both satellites.

Then, of course, the meaning. The symbolism. The name Grian literally means "sun" in Irish. Scott has a lot of star motifs going on. Pearlescentmoon. All very straight forward.

Mars? The fourth planet from the sun, the fourth winner. Mars is also the roman god of war, which goes along well with the way Martyn won the game. Although Mars is usually seen as less destructive for the sake of it than his greek counterpart Ares (and rather as a defender and protector), he is still in some versions described as savage or animalisticly feral. The whole "red planet" ordeal could also have been applicable, had it not been applicable to practically every winner. And, of course, the name Martyn literally translates to "dedicated to mars".

There's probably some kind of watcher reference or something to be made there, but I'll leave it at that.
