#Every series with a nether he has a magma cube with the first name that comes to mind

[eclipsedcrystalstar]

MLS SL Solar keeps a magma cube named Gilbert as a pet. The name was just the first thing that came to his mind and he wanted a pet magma. It is one of the large ones so unfortunately it is not allowed to wander

Let me preface this by saying every Life season, Renchanting duo comes up with their own lore but they unintentionally leave a trail of lore crumbs, and fans of Renchanting duo, having inherited their theatrics, start to go a little insane trying to connect the dots.

So. Double Life. Pearl, Ren, Martyn. Red riding hood, the wolf, and the woodsman. Frog, dog, log.

First of all, I think that it’s extremely coincidental and nice that Pearl is the one who gets involved with Renchanting duo at this stage because her name clearly references the moon, and we all know the moon (or “Tsuki”) plays a role in LL Renchanting duo lore.

Secondly, the connection to the Red Riding Hood fairytale just strengthens. In the original tale, Red goes to find her grandma, gets eaten by the Wolf, the Woodsman kills the Wolf to save Red (roughly), everyone lives happily ever after. But this time, Red is one who brought death to the Wolf. And our Woodsman InTheLittleWood, literally in the woods, abandoned Pearl at week 1 instead of saving her. And instead of swallowing up Red, Ren kindly gifts Pearl a new wolf after she lost Tilly. And note that our Woodsman famously beheaded our Wolf in 3L, and also famously bestowed him with a life in LL.

The Wolf is supposed to be the villain, but in fact Red is widely seen as the villain. And who made her a villain in the first place? The Woodsman contributed by leaving her alone. The Woodsman, instead of being seen as a beast-slaying-hero, is also seen as a villain with his “ugly” heart bastion and the cold way he murdered Cleo.

Now we move on to the nonsense chant that absolutely means nothing in canon. “Burn the log, pet the dog, croak the frog.” First of all, log = Martyn ITLW, dog = Rendog (for obvious reasons). But frog = Pearl because of the pearlescent froglights, a new addition to the game. “Burn the log”— like what, LL Ren setting his tower on fire, and Martyn having to put it out? 3L Ren revealing his plans to Martyn over a campfire?? Hmm???

“Pet the dog”— this obviously involves Tilly, which was a gift from Ren. Ren and Martyn even pet and feed Tilly to Pearl’s delight. But they mixed up the chant and it became “burn the dog”, prompting Pearl to yell at them thinking they were going to kill her dog. “Burn the dog”— hmm, like LL Ren’s arson arc?? Fall of 3L Dogwarts, perhaps?

Pearl also has a history of unintentionally killing dogs. Notably, the 1st Tilly and Ren. She was devastated by the deaths of both and felt somewhat guilty (more for 1st Tilly, less for Ren). Burn the dog, burn the dog… maybe that’s what Pearl brings.

And then we start to stretch lmao. “Croak the frog”— pearlescent froglights are made when frogs eat/kill magma cubes. Where do you find magma cubes? In the Nether. Where did our Woodsman and Red go in the first week, ultimately causing Pearl and Scott’s fallout and thus Pearl’s villain arc? The Nether. Pearl, the frog, has fire burning within her, the “wickedness” and the “demoness”, but strangely it’s a light that attracts Ren to her. What appears to be a dangerous curse actually leads to Pearl getting friends.

Anyways this is what happens when you feed the starving fans crumbs of content LOL these Life series always end up getting unnecessarily melodramatic when the fans try to connect the dots haha
