I’m a little sick of how Lizzie’s death is just being made about Jimmy and the canary curse now so.

How about writing about how it was a freak accident. How much more tragic it was that it was in fact an accident.

She wasn’t expecting it. Nobody else was expecting it. Half the server laughed. Some of them died not 10 minutes later. I’d like to think she got to laugh at them in whatever afterlife they’re stuck in till the end. Or cuss them out a bit. Or both.

She didn’t have any allies. A couple shaky truces, but no real allies. She didn’t get to take revenge on Scar (for the many, many, times he wronged her.) or anyone else really.

She died without turning in her second red task. She’d completed it. She wanted to take out Scott before she turned it in. She died.

Scott was this close to falling off the ledge after her first couple hits. His feet were practically off the edge. If you think hard enough about it you can see the pebbles and dust crumble away as he dances the edge of the cliff, just pixels away from her completing what she set out to do. Something she set out to do largely for fun. It wasn’t in her task to hurt Scott. Scott brought gifts to her party after showing up late, he wronged her but there were many who wronged her tenfold. She was going to kill Scott because her husband asked, and she’d just hit him over the head with rocks so she might as well. She kept doing it for fun. She was red. She might as well. Maybe everyone who didn’t come to her party would fear her a little then.

Maybe you should write about how Lizzie lived in a pumpkin house, had a whole pumpkin patch, was one of the two people who found the pumpkins first with gem, and all it would have taken for her to not die there would have been to wear one?

Maybe you should write about how if she’d looked just a fraction to the left or right she wouldn’t have looked at the enderman? How if she had reacted with the enderpearl a few seconds earlier she could have made it back up? How she only thought to throw it because she started taking damage as she sunk into the bottom of the void? How the only reason she didn’t was because she wasn’t expecting it?

Maybe you should write about how she wasn’t expecting it.

Lizzie wasn’t expecting it.

Lizzie’s death was not about her.

It was about the man she failed to kill. The assassin’s target, not hers. The man who caught himself from the edge and refused to give up without a fight.

It was about the man who was meant to die. The herald of the apocalypse. Canary call, first to fall. Not this time. They say that she did it for him. It’s a lie.

It was about the people who celebrated. They laughed when she died. They cheered. They sung and danced and thanked the heavens it was not him. They will forget her soon, just like they forgot her party.

It was about the man who will ‘avenge’ her. Her husband, her lover. The only one who showed up. No one listened, but fear not! He will save her! Him, in the throws of grief, will overcome her death, HER. DEATH. HE will be fine.

It was about the men who killed her last time. The star-crossed lovers separated by lives. A promise, a pact, sealed by her death. A sacrifice she didn’t get to make, a choice that wasn’t hers. All in vain, because they died before the pact was fulfilled. A tragedy - their love, I mean. Not her death.

Him and him and them and him and them. Over and over again, her death was an accident, but it was not hers. Never hers.

When will it be her turn?

Is this anything

i’ve prolly already said this but it’s been forever ,, probably over a year that i read your workplace rivals drabbles with peter parker and i think about them constantly seriously you were writing scripture with those like i can’t even articulate. they changed my brain chemistry

No, so honestly I don’t know if anyone has ever said that… 🥰 those picture drabbles were really fun. My only hesitation on expanding is I’m not sure I can do a real enemies-to-lovers. I enjoy reading them but writing them makes my head hurt.

Lizzie truly did die as she lived.

Ignored.

By the other characters, who again and again did not take her seriously, who left her isolated and without allies

By the fandom who again and again use her death as a plot device for other's in her absence.

The pumpkin queen, claimed by the void an Enderman doomed her to fall. on a quest to help the only person who she could maybe consider an ally a quest only set on her as she maybe betrayed him cost him damage (or maybe that's the cost of blind trust)

She haunts. Forgotten but not finished, still unfinished business.

A shadow lady.

Jimmy is the canary, Grian is the coal mine, tango, Joel, and Martyn are the miners, and Lizzie is an asthmatic who lied abt not having asthma to get the job in the coal mines

i do love how lizzie’s strategy every time she's boogie is to lure people into suspicious holes in the ground with elaborate traps. she has a brand.
