Millie Warm the Kettle,,,

i thought too hard abt bigb's POV and how in both 3L and DL he's caught between two alliances- one with grian and one with ren

something something damned if he does, damned if he doesn't

Life series text post memes but this time it’s BigB edition

[fountainpenguin]

I've said this before, but one of the funniest things that happened on Double Life has gotta be BigB informing Ren that he's been gone so long, their child has grown an arm in his absence and even said its first word ("Ren")... and Ren following this by proudly telling his partner that he's joined a singles support group.

BigB's response is "Oh, that's- That's awesome, dude... Y'know, I thought you were going to leave me for Martyn."

BigB thinks Ren is cheating on him, which is WHY he sneaks out to give Grian cookies and accept him as a secret admirer.

And Ren's alibi? Oh, it's less of a singles support group and more of a cult for the demon he blames for killing them both and that he's now dedicating himself to demon worship.

And BigB's response to hearing this is that they should go find Scott and get couple's therapy.

That's what's so funny, actually- They don't even go to therapy because BigB met with his secret admirer. Ren FLIPS post-therapy session when he finds out BigB met up with the mystery person, but he didn't know until after.

No. BigB wanted couple's therapy because his partner failed to be home to see their baby say his first word and the reason Ren wasn't home is because he was out worshipping the demon who killed him without telling BigB where he was. And supposedly it's a singles support group. While they're living together and raising a child.

Box Boys drama is so off the wall, for real, for real.

Concept: double life retold by pearl while she's on the phone to gem doing her chores

[scatterbrainedart]

WEEKS ago I saw a post about how BigB is very much like Scar in the way he's also totally maxed out his charisma stats in a way that just make people believe him automatically and go along with his shenanigans. The only difference is that he doesn't flaunt it the way Scar does, so he floats under the radar.

That in off itself is fantastic news, but it also means. Grian definitely has a type, and it's the funniest thing

MARS. POST THE DOODLE OF SCOTT AND CLEO CUDDLING AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

so I don't usually post doodles because I'm very self-conscious about their quality, but just for you harper

So that doodle was actually in a series of other doodles all in the theme of "literal sleeping together" because that's one of my favorite things ever, so I might as well put them all here then

[mcyt-parodies]

Alrighty! Back today with my next parody! This one has been cooking for awhile and I finally sat down and wrote it! So without further ado, I give you:

AITA for not realising who my soulmate was?

To preface this, I don't think I'm the AITA, but my soulmate seems to.

So I (M) am in one of those death games, but that isn't really important. In this death game, we are all partnered up with another player. I wasn't interested in finding my soulmate as I wanted to prioritise other things, such as a good base. I ended up travelling with 3 of the other players, J (M), E (M), and G (M). It may be important to note that J and E are soulmates.

After a trip to a pillagers base, I gained a new allay friend (F). Later on, this friend ended up flying away. I had started taking some damage, but I brushed it off as J joking along with others. Then I heard G screaming. At the time, I didn't realise it was due to him realising he was my soulmate. However, in hindsight, I can realise that I should have realised what was happening. G ended up sticking with me after J and E went their own separate way, but we ended up going a different way, too. I ended up finding some pandas that looked identical to my cat (F). Of course, I got attached to these and wanted to keep them. G ended up finding me again and was trying to tell me something. However, the cat-pandas were taking my attention, which G could clearly see. He asked for my attention, which I tried to give him, but those cat-pandas ended up distracting me again. G yelled at me, causing me to pay full attention.

G dropped a rock onto my head. This is what caused me to realise we were linked. G couldn't believe that I had no clue, but I genuinely did not know. He seems to still not be happy with me because of this.

So, AITA? If so, what can I do?

Edit 1: For anyone asking if G would have a reason for not wanting to be my soulmate, I can only think of one thing. In the first death game, G tried to play a prank on a group of me and our friends. However, this backfired and killed me. This put me down to my yellow life, and it was the first death in the server. G felt bad and apologised. He ended up apologising and giving his first life to me (EDIT 2: why is everyone saying this is gay?). I ended up in an accident, which put me down to my red life. We ended up in a war, but that's irrelevant right now. Even after he lost his first life, he stuck with me (EDIT 3: guys why is this also gay) Later on, I ended up killing him, putting him down to his red life. G felt betrayed (rightfully so), so I offered my life to him. He refused to kill me. However, the eldritch horror gods demanded a fight between us. So we ended up fighting in a cacti ring with no weapons, armour, or anything. He won and killed me. He then ended up killing himself. G ended up telling me that he wanted nothing to do with me in the next game. To be honest, that hurt. But that can be the only thing I can think of.

UPDATE: Hi guys. Sorry to say, but this is not a happy update. G had been very distant recently, and I didn't know what I could do to help. I didn't know if it was me not knowing we were soulmates or me slipping up with the paper sales we had been doing.

While on my horse (Horse), I ending up passing G and another friend, whom I will refer to as B (M). They were passing items between each other and were really close. This was odd due to B being a red life. Through the knowledge of some other players, I figured out that G, MY soulmate, was baking bread for another man. G and B were self-proclaimed secret soulmates.

I don't know what to do now. Any advice would be appreciated.

[ranubd]

Gosh guys, thank @kishikoushi for your early Christmas present!!

[chambers003]

i’ve got thoughts about the waffleduo canon soulmates*, watcher!grian (optional, but also include the secret keeper in this part of the list if you count this bit), mumbo’s first life game since the soulstealing event, mumbo having the waffle in secret life implying that’s all canon, mumbo and grian having such similar tasks, each of them immediately going to the other to try to complete their tasks (with varying results). and all of these thoughts are connected, but you have to connect those dots yourself i’m too busy to do that right now but it’s there and it’s so obvious right? right? you get it

[storytellerofuntoldlegends]

Augh. Scott and Pearl really ARE soulmates. Both of them are willing to give up everything, even their own lives, if it means their friends have a better chance of winning.

[dontcryminecraft]

rewatcing the life series and im justttttttt unwell cause in double life grian found out he was soulmates with scar and followed him all day in exasperation and waited for scar to notice but scar never did. until grian dropped a stalagmite on him, showing that they both got hurt. Then Grian asked BigB to be his secret soulmate, who agreed. And Scar noticed, despite his seemingly oblivious and carefree nature, he noticed that. Scar even baked BigB cookies, and said they were for Grian's secret soulmate. And Grian denied it. And Scar left it alone. And then Grian and Scar trapped the box, where BigB and his real soulmate, Rendog, lived. And Grian had one of his most impressive kills in the entire series...killing Rendog, which in turn killed BigB. All done with a Stalagmite. The same thing Grian used to find his soulmate, he incidentally used to kill his secret soulmate. I'm...so unwell.

[sunn-kist]

Just finished Grian's pov of double life

[ask-grian]

Would you rather be with BigB or Scar

…Uh. No comment.

ZombieCleo - Salmon

Quarry: MumboJumbo

Hunter: Renthedog

Allegiance: Lush Cave Alliance

💚 💛 ❤️

Stumbling down the pokey-hole passageways, shoving feet in boots, is far from the way Cleo wanted to be spending Truce Night. Running's hell when you're a partial fish person with webbed toes, actually. She's got a newfound respect for however Scott pulled it off in Limited Life.

Tango sprints ahead. He's the first to reach the end of the tunnel- he spins his pickaxe into his hand with a swirl of white light and starts hacking at a patch of coal. Cleo, cheeks all puffed, glances back. Water gushes across the floor. A bucket would've been nice. Tango's got all their buckets.

"Oh, we should've grabbed the water-"

There's no time for that now. A pillager with a loaded crossbow drops and fires another shot. Cleo slams flat against the wall. The bolt grazes past their cheek. Geez. She unsheathes her sword in a crackle of sparks. Their shield flashes to their other arm. Tango's behind them, yelling that he's carved a doorway they can crawl through. But, see… It's only one pillager.

That patrol doesn't see Jimmy as a threat. They see him as a captain. If they're player-managed instead of AI-led, that's gonna bite- Not many opportunities to get this close-

"I'm fine!" Cleo charges forward, sword arm reared behind her. Oh, it totally leaves her an open, gaping target, but that's what shields are for. The pillager doesn't even blink before launching another crossbow shot. The bolt thuds against wood. Cleo slashes down. The pillager flashes with the hit and Jimmy's shriek sets every scale down her tail bristling on end.

She goes in for the stab. A second blur plunges into the water and Cleo veers their attention, only to clash swords with Jimmy. The angle's awkward- backhanded on their part, actually. Jimmy's left-handed and he nailed the hit. Her sword goes flying. It clatters down the wall. Jimmy's eyes scream bright and violet in the dark. Her own green glow reflects off his clenched and hissing teeth. A second pillager drops down, thumping around the limited elbow room like a squash ball.

"Jimmy, stop playing- What are you doing? You can't" - (Duck, stumble backwards, shield struggling against the assault of a crossbow and a sword at the exact same time) - "Why are you here? Oh, you are so suspended from my class!" With a finger flutter, she summons her sword from the ground and back to her hand.

"Sorry, Cleo! I did break your beds!" Jimmy rears back, but instead of his sword, he kicks the heel of his boot directly down the center of her shield. Cleo staggers back again and barely gets it up in time to deflect two crossbow bolts in a row. Tango yells from down the hall, but from the sound of it, he's digging a tunnel. Wants them to join. Thank gods he didn't disappear down one of those side paths- I'd never find him in time.

"You're on purple! You can't do this!"

"I'm not, I'm not! It's them!" This time, Jimmy flips his sword and ominous banner to opposite hands. The banner's wrapped around a long pole of reddish jungle wood. He rears it behind his head and brings it slamming down like a blade. Cleo jerks back, feet skidding on wet stone. She smashes her shield against his skull. Jimmy yelps. The pillagers grunt, pressing closer to him. They look like baby birds on the prowl for warmth. Gods. A third drops from above and Tango yells again. One crossbow shot catches her on the shoulder. She's low- Oh, she's so friggin' low-

"TANGO!"

"I'm here!"

Right. Cleo shuffles backwards, fumbling through her absolutely meager food supply. She stocked up on half a dozen salmon in the river, but Ren and Bdubs were there and that's all she got. At least she took the liberty of cutting her meat in advance. She shoves two small chunks in her mouth. Jimmy…

Jimmy's blinking, clutching one hand against his left eye. He slumps against the wall. Cleo, with a breath, turns and sprints down the hall towards Tango. Boots slam and clunk on every step and her webbed toes pinch against the tip. Tango races towards her, yelling and holding up his shield.

"Eat! EAT!"

"Okay!"

Tango shoves past, taking the next pillager shot dead-on. Cleo hurries past him, scarfing down salmon, and ducks inside his tiny cave. Tango keeps pace as best he can, hustling backwards in a crouch. The pillagers flicker… then turn to look at Jimmy. Their bows hitch up. Jimmy's mouth drops down. Instantly, he's fumbling the banner between his hands again.

"No, no, no! I'm your captain, see? See?"

That's the last glimpse she catches before Tango slips inside the cave and Cleo blocks the whole behind him with rough cobble. There's no time for panting or even high-fives. As one unit, they turn and start mining their way through the dark. Cleo fills the path behind them and Tango digs down.

🖤 💛 ❤️

Grian - Enderman

Quarry: Smajor1995

Hunter: Smallishbeans

Allegiance: Jungle Duo

The lush cave's huge and multi-leveled. All the tunnels are damp and tangled (and smell like warm salt and rotting squid flesh), but Grian's determination never falters. Nope, nope, nope- not even once. This is his server now, and even the underground bows its neck to see its admin. He strides down every passage with his sword bouncing at his hip. The torch broils against his skin. It even leaves his gums dry through his cheek. Tsk…

At one point, he passes a tiny cave with nothing but a red-sheeted bed. No one's asleep beneath the sheets, though they're kicked to the side like they've been used. A moment's digging reveals no hidden chests in the walls or floor, so Grian kicks the bed until it pops into its dollhouse-sized duplicate, then pockets it in his inventory. Might as well. He moves on again. No way is he setting spawn down here considering where he's got his respawn flag at the moment. That would ruin everything. He'll sleep on the dang floor if he has to.

The sound of trickling water is ever-present down here, made worse by the rain up above ground. Grian uses that as a guideline, sinking deeper into the caves. BigB's still wrapped in blaze traits right now, and since he went to bed - Sweet dreams! - he's definitely outside the Nether. Apparently Tango and Pearl had their portal somewhere down here, and BigB's blaze instinct would be to escape the water…

Aha.

It isn’t exactly a new artstyle, just a different shading style, and I think I like it!

“First one to lose, loses Grian!” - Scar

“You’re on!” - BigB

(And so Scar is losing miserably)
