Something that upsets me so much is that no one seems to remember/talk about the fact that even before Martyn, Jimmy did a job for the Listeners!
On EVO after they beat the Ender Dragon they all got sent back to spawn, but minus Grian (cuz he joined the Watchers) AND JIMMY. Jimmy got sent back before them, and he was given the job of going around and placing books in everyone's bases to tell them to get their stuff and move far away.
I will hold onto the belief until the day I die that the Watchers saw that and decided when they started the Traffic Light Games that because Jimmy did the Listeners' work, they would curse him to die first every time. Hence, the Canary Curse.

Not even finished Scar's episode yet. 1st off. The Secret entity thing is just. Watchers- I- Like- The symbol is literally the Watcher symbol but the corner dots are pushed farther out and the lines are pushed together a bit. Also OH MY FUCKING GODS THEY ARE ALREADY FLIRTING AGAIN. AND THEY, THE DESERT DUO, RODE A CAMEL INTO THE MESA- I CAN'T DO THIS AGAIN, MY HEART-
I am very excited for this new season, but also I can already feel my heart and brain breaking and I haven't even finished one episode.

Welcome to my post that sums up all of the insanity that I've been experiencing over the similarities of Philza's lore from both Hardcore and QSMP and the lore of Grian from various places, with EVOSMP, Hermitcraft, and Life series being the main ones. I need to no longer be going insane about this alone.
This piece mainly talks about Watchers from EVO and the Enderking from Phil's hardcore lore and QSMP, but the two characters also have links to eachother. It is not just Fishing-Obsessed British Bird Men.
So firstly, we have the obvious link, of the villains color scheme and depictions in lore.
Watchers are generally depicted as purple, thanks to the color of the Evolution SMP Logo, and the fact that they reside in the end. We know that Listeners can be purple colored thanks to Martyns final limited life episode where they are shown for the first (and so far only) time.
The Enderking is shown as purple as well, definitively canon in lore, as shown in the QSMP Stream "Break past the Void". Also, the Enderking obviously has connections to the End, just like the Watchers.
Both reside in the End initially, before ending up affecting the overworld.
Secondly, we have the link of depictions in lore for the two main characters.
Phil is canonically a bird in QSMP, and although I'm not sure if it's canon to hardcore lore, he certainly flies around a lot, and I'm pretty sure he's been called a bird by the hardcore gods. (Rose, Blaze Empress, and Ocean Himbo man.) He's also known as the angel of death.
Now, Grian is, in EVO canon, a Watcher. Now, Watchers are depicted as angels in lore and in fanart, more traditional statues on the actual server, but then became more eldritch with biblical angel looks after the fans got to them. This helped contribute to his bird hybrid headcanons from the fandom, along with living in the jungle and liking parrots.
(You can probably see the similarities here with Grian's lore being slightly more vague)
Third, we have the abilities of the Watchers vs the Enderking.
Both can canonically possess people, with the Enderking going for Phil, and succeeding with what happened in QSMP from the Stream "Greed comes with a price..." , and the Watchers controlling Martyn in his Limited Life Finale, potentially tipping the balance to him winning.
The placing of obsidian. In EVO, when Grian steals from the Watchers, they chastise him, call him greedy, and place obsidian over every single one of their chests. Alternatively, the Enderking puts Obsidian in all of Q! Phil's special places, specifically crying obsidian.
Also, as a side note, I would just like to say that in Hermitcraft 9, Grian had a large rift underneath his base that leaked magic into the surrounding area. It was bright magenta, and turned into a huge nether portal when it was activated by Grian thanks to his pressing a button. When the portal starts to close it gained both crying obsidian and normal obsidian. --- It ended up closed until the end of the season, where it reopened with a ring of crying obsidian that let him transport realms to the next season of hermitcraft.
Both of these are caused by the god-like entity judging the person as greedy.
So. Thank you for coming to my essay. Probably the first of many.
