If Martyn meant nothing to him, he couldn’t see it in the golden glow of Scott’s joy. “I love you,” Scott said.
Martyn squeezed his hand. “Love you too.”
He resisted the urge to say, my liege, and instead, bit his tongue hard enough that he tasted blood.
— the final lines of @apollothetransboy's it’s better to leave than to be replaced may or may not have changed my brain chemistry irrevocably

So, this fanart has some story to it, so buckle up. It comes from a pattern I noticed in all the Life Series that I haven’t seen anyone point out.
Every single series, Martyn is fully killed (killed on red) by the person who wins that season. In Double Life Pearl killed Cleo, which killed him. In Last Life, Scott killed him.
Now Third Life is interesting. Grian didn’t kill Martyn. But in Martyn’s lore, it’s implied that Grian was not supposed to participate in Third Life. He wasn’t supposed to win. He was supposed to watch and cause more chaos and destruction. So, who is that last survivor after Grian? Scar. And who killed Martyn in Third Life? Scar did.
I know everyone likes Jimmy’s “Canary in a Coal Mine” curse, but honestly, I think this is a much more interesting pattern. Whoever kills Martyn wins. He has to die for them to survive. Hence the name “The Scapegoat” curse.
I wanted to make this post before the new life series came out, so I hope you enjoyed my theory. I might make some more tarot card themed fanart to go with more theories of mine, but who knows.

OK! here's the general idea for this Nordegrim Ghosts AU that has been haunting me:
CW FOR MENTIONS OF DEATH, ATTEMPTED MURDER, AND ALSO A TINY BIT SUGGESTIVE (just a tiny bit though)
Stacey, Scott, and Lawrence inherit this big house from a distant great aunt they have never met after she passed of old age. Scott is in debt so he cant take the house like he was supposed to, and Lawrence wants nothing to do with it, so Stacey gets it instead.
It’s perfect though cause her and Neil, who is also her husband now here, were planning to move houses anyways and were struggling to find a good place. Also since the house is super big, they thought about opening a hotel at one point once the house is all fixed up.
What they don't know is that the house is haunted. the ghosts in question are:
Knives Chau: A teenage girl from the 1950s who was a fan of rock n' roll that got pushed down the stairs by a jealous classmate (not Tamara btw that was her gf) at a party
Julie Powers (IDK her married last name yet): An Edwardian women who got pushed out the window by her husband (who is Joseph in this AU btw)
Stephen Stills: A folk singer from the mid 60s who dies in a fire (people confused him with the other Stephen Stills all the time)
Gideon Graves: A music producer from the late 60s early 70s who was poisoned by a rival producer
Lucas Lee: A Victorian lumber guy who was crushed by a wooden beam during the construction of the houses renovation
Todd Ingram: A 90s Rockstar who died while having sex with his bands drummer (which like in the comic, was also cheating on his girlfriend and it is still Lynette and Envy)
Lisa Miller: A somewhat famous 1930s actress who died while filming a scene
Matthew Patel: An early 19th century poet who died in a duel that was orchestrated by a good friend of his
Roxie Richter(she has no last name in this au btw, putting it here cause I put everyone elses last names here): A Viking who was struck by lighting
Ken and Kyle Katayanagi : Inventors/mechanics from the late 19th century who died in a car explosion along with their dog (who is a dog version of robot 0-1 btw). They live in the carriage house as its far more peaceful than the main house
The ghosts overhear the hotel idea when Stacey and Neil are talking about it and they are not too pleased with it. So they try to haunt them so they'll leave, but ultimately fail.
Then either Gideon or Todd, come across Stacey leaning out the window and decide to push her in an another attempt to get them to leave which in turn, almost kills her. Because of this, now Stacey can see ghosts and forms a close friendship with them. Neil, like Mike and I assume Jay in bbc and cbs ghosts respectively, will have a collage of what they all look like since he cannot see them.
So yeah that's my idea so far! I’m still tweaking things but I’m happy with this rn. I’ll definitely make art for it at some point (and if people want it, an ask blog). Feel free to also suggest some ideas for this au if you have any :]

Im going to be completely frank with you all... and admit that I read these options and wasn't sure how to take this chart,,, so uh. Under the cut is Another Version. I'd apologize but I've given you the option to keep scrolling ¯\_(・・)_/¯
(If you notice characters missing on Kim's side, I probably figured she doesn't know who they are lol)
For the record,,, if they *wanted* me to pull their hair-- *is shot several times before I can continue*
Uhh Matthew is here because I have been converted fully on he/him or enby lesbian Matthew I think. He lives in my brain rent free now, very gender. I'd pull his hair but also I think he mostly just deserves to have it played with nicely.
And Scott's here because 1) I enjoy trans Scott, 2) Kim Pine Brain Rot possibly, 3) idk he's like,, the exception. God damnit, I've fallen for the inexplicable Scott Pilgrim Effect. What the fuck--
I did think about doing this chart like everyone was actually applicable to my tastes, but even if they were I think the ones I didn't put up would have to fall on the caress side bc I just don't feel that way abt them lol.
Again, not to say that's the case for the gals over on that side,,, I just think I would want to be gentle w them shxkdjsdhbd with the exception for Lynette who probably deserves to have her hair pulled, but again I fear she would Hurt Me,,, but maybe in a fun way,,,
Anyway No One Look At Me....
(,, also,,, Ramona is so far over bc I think she would enjoy it,, otherwise she'd be closer to Kim in that section. Same thing w Roxie)
If anyone actually looks at this version, I'm not opposed to doing a version like this for Kim btw! Just ask for it so I feel like I'm not just Dropping This and scurrying away

Yeah, we all know the exes respawn after their defeat, but my favorite little detail was that they specifically respawn on the couch at their mom's place.
Imagining the likes of Lucas and Todd and fucking Gideon just waking up on a couch in a basement and their mom's are like "what the fuck is going on how did you get here" and have to explain that they got their ass handed to them by some Canadian twink

what if we were two social outcasts (one running away from a background of wealth without love and one with a tumultuous childhood paving the way for years of continued abuse) and we end up in the same profession. what if we were trying to find ourselves but we found each other. what if we’re both victims of the societies we were raised in. and we’re both grappling with the confines of masculinity. and our stories are emotionally devastating for our audience as they ask questions about death and rebirth and the choice between what we want and what we’re told we deserve. what if we sat by a campfire and had conversation.
okay now what if our story was a 1991 indie film about street hustlers, but what if it was a 2022 tv show about pirates
[ID 1: the campfire scene from My Own Private Idaho. Scott (played by Keanu Reeves) is looking at Mike (played by River Phoenix) who is sitting a distance away, curled in on himself. end ID]
[ID 2: the campfire scene from Our Flag Means Death. Stede (played by Rhys Darby) lovingly helps Ed (played by Taika Waititi) get something out of his beard. end ID]
ahaha what if i cried what if i can’t be normal about this
