#he a bigb boi <3

No context other than Zechariah Nettles

[novatwilightanddusk]

Grian really went from ride or die in 3rd life and Last life to screw my allies entirely. I will abandon you all for a sandwich huh

[coldstormyday]

I feel like we don't talk enough about how bonkers the 'Judge Judy and Executioner' frog plotline was in Limited Life, which was almost entirely contained within Bigb, Pearl and Jimmy's POVs.

. Bigb gifting Jimmy a special Grandmaster frog which leads to bitter regret and sadness from all the frogs at Frog Mountain, a sacred place where Bigb goes to commune with magic little froggy guys

. Pearl 100% buying in to the plan to take Judge Judy and Executioner back and leaving a decoy, causing classic Jimmy disbelief where he does the '>:0' face repeatedly in his facecam

. BIGB LITERALLY GETTING KIDNAPPED WHY

. Jimmy employing Scott to help find the frog at the Nosy Neighbour tower while Bigb and Pearl are frantically shoving JJ&E down a dank cave hole

. Pearl accidently spiking the frog straight into a ravine like a dropped beanbag and desperately trying to cover it up while Bigb and Jimmy weep openly in the background

. Jimmy confronting the Neighbours while Pearl (definitely not Lizzie stop asking) has no concept of who Judge Judy and Executioner is, only for both to fall down a trap due to Bread Boy number 3 who cannot stop pushing buttons out of boredom

. Jimmy dying again after killing Loggy the Llama (also why did the 'Loggy time' joke make me wheeze so hard- comedy gold I tell you) by moonwalking directly into a pufferfish trap while monologuing

TLDR: I cherish Bigb, Pearl and Jimmy's videos for bringing us the best plotpoint of Limited Life. Sometimes the Life Series can be poignant and deep, and sometimes it's just about a frog who was loved so dearly and fell so hard.

Deity Influence in Limited Life

Be they Watchers or Listeners, here’s a list of things I either headcanon/theorize as direct deity intervention or are explicitly canon (at least to Martyn’s POV) as deity intervention in this season of Limited Life:

Grian never being Boogeyman. Grian is not supposed to be playing the game - why should he get to have what he wants? Of course they’re not going to allow him extra time when they’re actively trying to yank him out... and speaking of-

Grian’s AFK coma. While I like to interpret it in-universe as Grian being ill, or at least appearing to be gravely ill and as unconscious as a Watcher can be, it’s canon that his absent body was the result of the Watchers pulling him away from what ‘anchors’ him in the games, since they don’t want him there.

Jimmy’s perma-death. The canary curse is explicitly canon now - and as many of us know now, he was dead before he hit the ground. Jimmy was a dead man walking due to dying to Etho’s boogeyman kill with less than two hours. It should have perma-killed him then, but while Grian knew it was a boogey kill and gave Etho his extra 30 minutes, he did NOT remove Jimmy’s last hour. Jimmy was shifting on the sky bridge - in-universe, I believe the Watchers pushed him to make up for the death Grian was trying to avoid.

The border not protecting those outside of it. “Here’s the thing about being beyond the veil - we’re already dead.” Grian knows how this game works, since he both IRL and canonically made them. He also knows the rules are to stay WITHIN the border - he was breaking them for the protection they granted him and his allies (first the Bad Boys, then the Nosy Neighbors). But, it didn’t protect them! He broke a rule, and thus similarly to Jimmy’s death, I believed he and his allies were penalized for it.

BigB’s brief invisibility to Scott. Scott is HATED by the Watchers for bending the rules of the game as much as he can. He refused the Boogeyman Curse in Last Life, divorced and chose is own soulmate in Double Life, and rushed his Boogeyman kill in the first episode of Limited Life. On top of that, he’s managed to (technically) win 2/3 games. Of course they wouldn’t want him to win another - and while ultimately it meant nothing because Scott just permakilled BigB the moment the invisibility was gone, I think the fact that it was BigB, a former Evo member, was interesting.

Bdubs’ lack of recording. Whether he ends up posting a supercut or not, one thing is for sure - for the duration of this season, he was unwatched. In fact, the only way he could be observed was through other people... you could even phrase it as you could only find out was he was doing by hearing it through the grapevine...

And of course, whatever the FUCK happened at the end of Martyn’s last video. I have so many questions. Cherri and Martyn, I fucking applaud you.

[fountainpenguin]

Commentary after watching Grian’s, Impulse's, and Etho’s Ep 1s:

Mumbo is back??? And Lizzie??? Amazing. I had my fingers crossed but my hopes were low. That's exciting.

The instant dump of puns... Grian and Mumbo really do share a soul

The secrets should be an interesting mechanic; this is going to force a lot of interactions and be a delicate balancing act. I think it was a good choice for a social series

Looking forward to seeing BigB's POV... That man just backpedaling and running circles around people with his confusing words and giant death trap in the ground... good for him.

Crying at the mental image of Impulse holding a piece of paper that says "Make cherry wood your entire identity" and he just (big sighs)

Impulse: "What if I just cut down ALL the cherry wood because it's MY identity?"

I appreciate how Impulse tried to demonstrate what goats do by backing up and then tackling Gem

Skizz hovering around Gem because his task was to stay within 10 blocks of her for 10 minutes... Scott turning to Impulse like "This... this is weird for Skizz, right?" sklfdj gotta check with the best friend

Cleo and Tango: "We're speeddating"

Wheezing at Scott's task of building a base that's obnoxiously attached to someone else's and Gem keeps scooting away and so Scott keeps moving his base to follow hers

So we're all going to draw Impulse with pink tools and pink crafting tables and stuff this season, right? slkdjf

Etho: "You have my heart, Joel"

omfg my "manifesting a Skizz and Cleo team-up" worked lskjdf. Looking forward to that perspective

Cleo moving in with Etho...

We get Skleo AND Boat Boys AND Cletho interactions this season? All in one episode? omg, this one's gonna be wild

Looking forward to more POVs when I'm home <3

[cheyj05]

Okay, the people who are saying The Bad Boys are a disaster waiting to happen... are correct but not for the reason they’re saying!

 They are not going to betray each other! They are one of the least likely to betray each other! 

 First of all, Joel is NOT a lone wolf, the exact opposite in fact! He was only alone in 3rd life. In Last Life he was planning to team up with Scar but he ended up going red life first so he COULDN’T be teamed with anyone. Even then he killed Grian specifically so he could have a friend! He was in the middle of the red life packs in Last Life and Double Life! In Double Life he literally wore a shirt with Etho’s face on it! In the most recent session he protected Grian faithfully! He’s really loyal, he’s just feral about it. Least likely out of The Bad Boys to betray.

   The only time Jimmy betrayed anybody was The Southlands but there were a lot of extenuating circumstances. He wasn’t really close to anybody in that group other than Grian and Martyn but Grian hung out with Mumbo most of the time and Martyn had promised to betray the group with him. When he stole the life he thought Martyn would leave with him! Maybe help him escape! He didn’t expect Martyn to betray him! He only betrayed The Southland b/e he though the odds were on his side. Also the larger the group the easier it is to not feel guilty betraying them, it’s less personal. The Bad Boys are a group but not a big one, and I would definitely say he’s close to Joel and Grian. Also The Bad Boys have more of a group identity than The Southlands. B/e they’re The Bad Boys and The Southlands was more of a loose collection of people who all knew they were going to betray each other eventually.

  Grian is probably the most likely to betray the others but still unlikely. He has a tendency to be loyal to one person specifically regardless of anybody else he teams up with that season. With 3rd Life, it was Scar, Last Life Mumbo, and Double Life BigB. Those are also the ones he ends up killing. He doesn’t really follow this pattern in Limited Life since I can’t say he’s closer to one Bad Boy over the other (Though maybe Joel?) But honestly he makes it pretty clear in his own POV when he’s planning to betray his group and he hasn’t shown any signs of it yet.

The groups most likely to betray each other are as follows(ranked most to least likely)

  1. T.I.E.S

  2. The Clockers

  3. Bad Boys

  4.  Mean Gills

  5. Nosy Neighbors

   I put T.I.E.S above The Clockers b/e I feel like anybody in TIES could betray each other (like Etho, Tango, or Impulse and Skizz) at any time, Bdubs is the only one I think would betray the Clockers right now. Cleo has A Thing about betraying your day 1 ally and while Scar WOULD betray his group, he doesn’t like being alone and would only do it if he knew he wouldn’t be.

    Despite everything I typed here, The Bad Boys are still themselves and are unpredictable.

   Honestly the Mean Gills and the Nosy Neighbors are both pretty much tied b/e Scott and Martyn are both too pragmatic and BigB and Pearl are both too one unit. I put Mean Gills as 4th b/e we all know Martyn only joined Scott b/e Ren wasn’t there and the other groups had already established themselves. He’s also honestly the most lone wolf out of everybody in the server.

[crystaljellie]

I’m doing it I’m yapping.

Okay so my life series fantasy AU

Basically Joel and Jimmy were isekai’d into this fantasy world. Everyone else is already part of the world. Jimmy basically wake up with Grian standing over him (Grian is a parrot Avian in this as per usual) and Jimmy totally freaks out.

And all I know from there is that Jimmy and Grian overthrow Ren and Joel heads to the feywilds and meets Lizzie. Oh and flower husbands meet and kiss by a lake, I’m sure there will be angst I’m getting there

So now actually about the guys

Bdubs

Moss spirit

He lives in the forest and loves to cause chaos

But also he helps people get in an out of his forest because it’s dangerous at night

Being a moss spirit Bdubs body is basically just made up of moss

Bdubs and Grian have issues, and when I say issues Grian causes problems and Bdubs has to deal with the aftermath

BigB

BigB is a fae who lives outside of the fae wilds

He has a bakery in the main city of the kingdom Ren and Martyn rule

He frequently speaks to the royal order something something maybe suspicious things

He’s best friends with Tango who he met through Skizz

Etho

He’s an Arctic fox

He lives in the ice realms which are relatively near the southern realms which is where the kingdom is

Jimmy breaks into his house by accident at some point and Etho just is like

‘This guy is my kid now’

Jimmy has no idea how to escape forcibly assigned son

Scar

A desert elf (desert duo ref)

Scar used to live in the kingdom before moving to the desert realms with Grian (they’re boyfriends)

Scar is a falcon tamer, usually he just tames regular falcons but was called into the city square to deal with a particularly pesky boy which is how he meet Grian

He also still has a wheelchair but it has like magic powers, Scar used his desert elf powers to make it so his wheelchair can drive across sand.

Grian

A Parrot Avian

HE CAUSES PROBLEMS ON PURPOSE

He has little bird legs and he likes to fly onto Scars falcon brace

And he takes shiny things from shops in the kingdom

He’s the one who recommended Scar go back to the desert

Impulse

A Sun Imp

There are lots of different types of Imp’s

Depends which realm they were born it

Impulse was born in the sun realm

Martyn

He’s a wood elf

And he and Ren have issues

Ren and Martyn learn to stop tyrannic ruling

I’m gonna get the watchers involved somehow

He’s being given instructions and visions

He tries to follow them but it only leads to dead ends

Or death

Lizzie

She’s a Fae

And the High Queen of the fae

So she lives in the feywilds

Do her people lowkey kidnap Joel?

Yes but that’s a separate issue

Mumbo

He’s a vampire :3

But instead of drinking your blood he’s more like

Sunburns…

And can’t enter a building without permission

Sometimes you’ll just see Mumbo walking around with an umbrella

Everyone knows he’s a vampire

Sometimes they offer him blood he always says no though he thinks it’s rude of him

Skizz

Skizz is an angel

But he’s also the most unlucky person in the world

He was the first person to buy from Tangos shop and they became good friends because of that

Skizz is aware of the watchers due to his angel origins

Scott

Scott is actually a star born

But he disguises himself as a Sea elf

He lives in solitude behind a waterfall in a flower meadow

He has long elf ears and coral in his hair that looks like it’s arranged slightly like a flower crown

Starborns have the ability to take the magical abilities of their surroundings or their friends, so Scott has magical powers relating to water and flowers, but this can change based on his surroundings in which he can gain additional powers (Water and Flower related powers will not change because he’s lived in the meadow for so long)

Something with him and Acho (his brother) having an argument, causing them to split from each other and adorn disguises heading down to the over realm

Scott has spoken to the royal counsel before but they do not like each other which is why he did not choose to live in the city, He is courteous with them but only really visits the city to speak with Impulse who he made friends with while living in the city.

Starborns being a rarer and more hunted but also very powerful species and kept track of by the royal order so he was mainly there to fill out paperwork

Tango

Tango is a fireborn

Fireborn do not have parents they spawn from fire and are only found in the Nether realms (Not to be confused for the Nether World) At the age of 16 Fireborn creatures will leave the Nether realms to find a home for themselves. The only fireborn who reside pass the age of sixteen are those who are unable to leave or caretakers of fireborn young.

So when Tango was 16 he left to the southern arms to set up a mechanics shop

When Tango gets angry his fire hair goes blue

Tango also had a mechanical arm :3

Pearl

Pearl is a lunar moth

She and Grian are siblings

They cause problems together I love them

I sadly don’t have much for anyone else right now :(

I’m working on it, but they’re my sillies and I can’t wait to make this a fic it’ll be so fun

[wren-kitchens]

the people called for wips, so wips you shall have

trans bad boys <3 inspired by this conversation with @/bigb-enthusiast!

joel chews at her lip, staring straight ahead at the fishing bobber currently bouncing on the surface of the little pond (?) they’ve constructed on the roof of the mansion. he’s pretty sure the hook has been bitten at least three times in the past five minutes, but they can’t seem to zone in fast enough to catch it before the fish swims off. it’s very annoying.

it’s just- it’s even more annoying, actually, because joel knows why she keeps staring into space, and it’s not because fishing is more boring that xe remembers (although, it’s not not that). it’s very stupid, just- well, regardless of how stupid it is, it remains a problem, which joel thinks is probably the dumbest thing ever. why can’t dumb problems just be solved, huh? maybe joel doesn’t want to have to fix them, did anyone think about that? 

much to its annoyance, joel’s problems do not immediately vanish after they think this, which is also stupid, because it means that he has to actually deal with them. ve should ask grian if he can fix that; he’s got all that watchery stuff going on, right? if they can orchestrate four death games and command all of them to kill each other, the watchers can definitely stop joel having to deal with awkward and potentially upsetting conversations.

“I- okay, dude, you’ve ignored like, fifteen bites.” grian’s voice cuts through joel’s thoughts, and she has to stop from yelping in surprise. it comes out as a half strangled shriek, which isn’t much better. “what’s up?”

“nothing.” joel says, defensive. immediately, xe knows that it was way too defensive, because both grian and jimmy frown at him in that dumb way they do when they’re about to have a serious conversation. “I- don’t give me that look, it’s nothing.”

“well it’s clearly something.” jimmy half grins, reeling in his rod. “your tail’s on fire, for a start.”

“wh-“ joel turns and sees that jimmy is right. yelping, they dunk it in the pond. “that- okay, that doesn’t mean there’s anything-“

“you’re doing the voice.” grian points out, and joel is tempted to hit him—mainly because he’s right. joel is doing the voice, and he is very irritated (and a little pleased) that grian knows her so well to notice. “c’mon, you know you can tell us, right? bad boys?”

“we ain’t seen bad boys 2.” jimmy adds, and joel gives a small huff of laughter. 

“I just.” joel hesitates; they have no idea how to explain any of this. in all honesty, she hasn’t entirely figured herself out yet, so explaining something he doesn’t even know what xe means to someone elseis- impossible, to say the least. “I don’t- I don’t know the words?”

“that’s fine.” jimmy says, and joel is a little blown away by how sincere he sounds. “I mean- we can help you out, right?”

“exactly.” grian says, and pauses. “well. I can’t guarantee either of us will be any more eloquent than you, but we’ll try.”

“it’s, um.” joel pauses, before saying, “so- y’know how we’re the bad boys?” xe finds themself beginning to fiddle with the cuffs of her sleeves. “and me and etho were the boat boys?”

jimmy nods, frowning slightly—not in anger or upset, just curiosity. grian, apparently unconsciously, tilts his head to the side in question.

“so- y’know, it’s all boys.” joel says, glancing at his hands again. he doesn’t know if she wants to see their faces or not. “but, um. what if- what if I wasn’t. a boy. or- or a guy, or a man or- or a woman, I was just- something.. else?”

joel stares determinedly at their hands as the silence stretches longer and longer, and her words hang heavy in the space between them. ve knows- jimmy and grian wouldn’t just dump him over something like this, but- well, what if they do? what if they’re too freaked out, and they don’t want joel in the bad boys because- they’re not even a boy!  do you still count as a bad boy if you’re not even a boy? what if you don’t- what if joel specifically doesn’t, even if he did make this group, because what if-

interrupting their spiralling thoughts, grian finally- finally says something. and it’s probably the lastthing joel expected him to say.

“oh thank void.” grian gives a slightly hysterical laugh, and joel looks up at him. he’s grinning, looking strangely nervous, but not even remotely- well, joel doesn’t really know, but it doesn’t look like he’s freaked out. “I thought I was gonna have to- i’m not a guy!”

joel stares at them. “you- seriously?”

[hybbart]

:OOOOOO THE HOSTS OF THE GAME LOOK SO COOL!!!! I want to know more about them! Can the players talk to them? Do they have chosen disciples that they help (or harm)? Do they deside who wins each game? Does Grian interact with them?

Grian hates their guts, and most of the evo crew are at least wary of all of them except Secret Keeper (it mostly just wants everyone to have fun which is why it brought in so many players).

They all play favourites in private but they don't influence who wins. The Boogieman is very fond of Grian and he's the one who hates Scott alongside the Spinner. The Spinner loved the Ranchers and Boat Boys for playing along with their mechanic but their actual favourite player is Pearl which is why they brought Tilly back to life and granted her 3 lives.

The Clockmaker unsurprisingly loves Bdubs and Martyn, and exuded the most influence in their game and was the one whispering terrible things to Martyn all season. They picked him to be game monitor when they forced Grian into time out. They're a busy body who would have controlled the games much more if they weren't busy constantly fixing their own broken mechanics. Theyre the one watcher who despises Grian and is bored by Jimmy's curse, pushing the both to their deaths to get them out of the way.

The Secret Keeper liked Gem so much from the other game it made her a proper part of the game. It has a soft spot for the sillier players, and it couldn't stand even one not participating so it convinced Tango to ceate torchie and let Ren control his body while Tango followed him, and brought Jimmy back. Tango was one of its favourites for his silly games and "its not about winning" mentality.

The Secret Keeper's the only one who directly put itself in the game out in the open. Its a bit unconventional as far as watchers go which is why it wanted to host a game so badly.

Most of the time only Grian can talk to them directly, although Martyn, Jimmy, Pearl, and Bigb can hear them.

[sapphia]

after four seasons, this alliances/friendship web is getting really complicated.

the mean gills:

internally are two friends from previous smps with similar gamestyles who are both very loyal to their teammates

have a strong alliance with the clockers because cleo is in charge of them and cleo and scott were soulmates by choice in the third season.

have no official alliance with the bad boys and have periods of hostility, but this is complicated by the fact that scott and jimmy were "married" in the first season and scott's been chasing jimmy ever since (hence why scott gives jimmy a life), and also by the fact that joel loves hunting scott no matter the series for some reason.

have no alliance with the ties but scott is on good terms with several of them due to being generally pleasant, while martyn is on bad terms with several of them due to being generally sneaky and also killing a few of them

had an alliance with the nosy neighbours that was blown up seemingly randomly when pearl stole their enchanting table, but pearl and scott had been partners in season 2 and then scott had refused to partner with her in season 3 when they were soulmates (martin had also abandoned her rather than teaming up).

the bad boys

internally, they are three very good friends who've known each other for a long time and have a very established dynamic. you would think this makes them a stronger team but unfortunately this makes them very themselves around each other - jimmy becomes very pathetic, joel becomes very reckless, and grian sets about creating as much discord and drama as humanly possible, including trying to start several unsuccessful coups within the group itself for seemingly little reason

have an alliance with (and are "cousins" to) the clockers, with the only previous link between the groups being grian and scar, who were partners in season 1 and soulmate partners in season 3. they work well together in a team and both like to create chaos, but grian seems to resent being "tied to" scar across the seasons (he was protecting scar because he killed him in season 1 and unwillingly soul-bound in season 3, when he 'cheated' on scar). so even though they have a lot of interaction and seem to get on most of the time, grian would rather go out of his way to avoid teaming with scar or working with him too much

have been technically enemies this season with the nosy neighbours because jimmy decided to go apeshit over a frog, but joel and grian didn't actually care about this feud. grian also was previously bigb's "secret soulmate" in season 3/double life, but given the intense partnerships, this didn't actually amount to them spending any time together and grian has largely ignored him this season until randomly forming an alliance with him after the rest of the bad boys died

ties

internally they are old friends who've worked together in varying capacities for a number of years and have been in alliances and teams with each other before. because they've mostly worked with each other rather than with a lot of other people on the server, they don't have strong alliances outside of the group but are very cohesive internally and work together well (barring etho, who is a conundrum)

are enemies with the clockers except for etho, who is the clocker's dad in their roleplay set-up although he is now currently at war with scar and cleo. this seems totally nonsensical at first, but etho and bdubs have what is best described as a "thing" where they seem to always need to be allied with each other even when it doesn't really make sense. like for example in season 3 when they had different soulmates, and in this season where etho has spent multiple episodes roleplaying families with a team where all the members other than bdubz are actively trying to kill him on sight

some of the team have teamed up with some of bad boys before in large groups, and joel/etho and tango/jimmy were soulmates in double life but with minimal effect on this season's dynamics

some of the team have previously allied/teamed with bigb

clockers

are team members all from the hermitcraft server where they've known each other for a while. cleo and bdubs have been teammates before.

are controlled by cleo who is in charge, so largely her previous relationships are their previous relationships - they have animosity with the nosey neighbours because bigb betrayed her in season 2 and animosity with pearl because of the tension in the divorce arc from double life when cleo teamed up with her soulmate.

cleo and etho have always had a strange relationship. cleo and etho are both... intimidating, though for different reasons. over the entirety of the life smp, cleo has always held that etho was overrated skill-wise (perhaps correctly) as a danger on the life SMP, and seemingly in response etho treated cleo as though she scared him, which might have been to make it seem to others like cleo didn't rate him because she was good rather than because he was bad. this largely worked for three seasons: however, this house of cards seems to finally have come tumbling down in limited life, where etho being washed up has become a server-wide joke.

and that's what you missed on glee...

Playground Life Games

I love the idea of Limited Life being a big game on a playground with school children. Not based on anything specific, just little bits i thought would be cute

***

Grian glances at the watch on his wrist. It’s Spiderman-themed, which is really cool, but not the most important part. The watch’s time display is the most important thing about the watch on his wrist.

3 hours from now, at 9pm, Grian and the rest of them had to go back to their houses. Curfews were so dumb, Grian thought, but his mum would kiII him if he was home late, so he didn’t argue much.

“Okay!” He shouts to his circle of friends. It quickly gets all of their attention. “Everybody’s watches set?” He checks.

It’s a few moments of everyone checking their watches, before Jimmy pipes up. “I don’t know how to set mine!” He whines. Groans come from the group.

Tango, standing next to Jimmy, grabs his wrist and tinkers with it for a moment before exclaiming, “Done! We’re ready, G-man!”

Grian nods seriously, glancing around the circle. “The boogeyman will be randomly chosen by whoever finds the piece of paper I’ve hidden first. When you’re the boogey-“ He’s unceremoniously cut off by Pearl shouting, “We know about the boogeyman! Can we go play now?” She asks.

To his utter shock and surprise, everyone else starts nodding and agreeing with Pearl.

Grian pouts, “Fine! Go!” He yells, throwing his hands up in the air. Everyone scatters like rats.

“Oh, Lizzie,” Joel sighs the girl’s name dreamily. He clutches his chest, leaning against the metal leg of the playground jungle gym the Bad Boys have claimed as their base.

Grian rolls his eyes, flicking the boy on his arm. “Lizzie,” He mocks the dreamy tone, high pitched, “thinks you’re lame.” He says. Joel glares at him, flicking Grian right back on the forehead.

Poor, oblivious Jimmy looks between his two teammates, utterly confused. “What about my sister?” He asks.

“Lizzie? Oh, I love Lizzie!” Scar interrupts their conversation. Grian really should stop rolling his eyes, or he really will get them ‘stuck like that,’ like his mum says.

But he can’t help it, not when Joel glares so hard at Scar that it’s shocking that Scar doesn’t light on fire and explode in front of them.

“They want to be known as the Mean Gills?” Jimmy says, again in his, seemingly, default state of utter confusion.

Cleo laughs loudly, “Mean Girls?” She asks, curious amusement on her face.

“No, no, Mean Gills!” Martyn chimes in, walking over. “A very clever pun, if I do say so myself.” He says, self-satisfied.

“It’s your team name, then?” Cleo asks, “Like, Jimmy’s whole ‘Bad Boys’ thing.” She snorts.

Jimmy makes an affronted sound. “I am the bad boy of the playground!” He says insistingly. Cleo laughs, verging on cackles, and hunches over as she puts her hands on her knees to support herself.

“Aww,” She giggles, wiping an imaginary tear from her eye, “Aww, of course you are, Jim.” She says, nodding patronizingly.

***

“Why can’t Ren play with us?” BigB pouts. He’s been asking that for the past two hours they’ve been playing. Grian hands him a stick, which they’re gathering for weapons.

“Because, BigB,” Grian starts, exasperated from having to explain this again, “Ren is at summer-camp all summer. It’s for werewolves or something.” Grian explains, crossing his arms.

“I miss him.” BigB frowns.

“You were literally cheating on him with me last summer. We were secret soulmates and you want to go back to your other soulmate?” Grian squints at him, almost offended.

BigB is silent. Grian throws his hands up in the air and walks away.

***

It has to be the hottest day of the summer. Scar fans himself uselessly with his hand. He starts to pull off his shirt.

Cleo turns around from where she was organizing their lunchboxes-turned-chests. The shirt is halfway pulled off as she shouts, “Scar!”

“What?” He asks.

“Keep your shirt on!” Cleo says loudly. In the distance, Scar hears Bdubs laugh from their farm. He sighs, pulling the shirt back on.

“Okay mom!” Scar chirps, just because he knows it annoys her and the heat is putting him in a gremlin, mischievous mood. Cleo groans, glaring at him as she heads off toward Bdubs at the farm.

Jokes on her, Bdubs thinks calling Cleo ‘mom’ is even funnier than Scar does!

Secret Life Predictions

(And bonus rambling)

Joel - I want this man to win so badly, but I think he'll def get top four (plz don't fuck this up for me joel)

Etho - I also want him to win, but hes def top 3 and will have to fight cleo or bdubs or joel for first place

Cleo - genuine contender for first place, honestly girl deserves it, no further comment

Bdubs - bro either will lay down his life for etho or die by his blade, but I swear I'll go insane if he kills etho

Scott - since its the curse break season, he's not going to be top 3 (somehow) but still doing good

Gem - I love her and it'd be so cool for her to win her first game (esp after causing half the servers deaths), but I think she'll be 6th, probably betrayed

Impulse - I haven't seen much of him this season, but I hear he deserves a win, having been high placed a bunch

Scar - he is public enemy number one, so I just hope he lives longer than grian because that man has been PINING so hard (or mby killed by grian but hey optimism)

Grian - i NEED him dead before cleo and etho for curse break reasons. Mans needs to die before his allies for once

Tango - havent seen much of him, bros just been queering it up at the heart foundation from what I know, solid 10

Skizz - skizz has been bottom 3 too much, this is his redemption he's got this

Pearl - we need scarlet witch red life joel team up they'd be so damaging. She's been going pretty great this season, left the tower and all, so I just don't want her to die alone

Bigb - literally he's been so strange I honestly don't know. He might just throw a curve ball and win it. I would not put it past him. The backrooms will claim anyone who tries to mess with him

Martyn - ohohohoh I want this man FAILED he needs to fail a task and die because whats more poetic than the punishment

Mumbo - (already out, wanted him to do better but honestly didn't expect much hes not great at surviving)

Timmy - (MY BOY BEAT THE CANARY CURSE WOOO)

Lizzie - (latest victim of the canary curse)

my take on the Limited Life timers!!

it's fine if you take inspiration for your designs, just credit me at least once :]

explanations below cut

Martyn mentioned being above 24H should be another color, like purple (i stg if he was implying what I think he was-)

Scott just. idk i wanted to do something star inspired but couldnt find anything so he just gets a fancy floating analog clock

Bdubs' skin has 3 clocks, so each shows a different part of his timer. When below one hour his hour timer will shatter. when below one minute his minute timer will,,, :)

Cleo has an exercise counter because of their hivedr8 outfit

Scar has a sand hourglass. she sells seashe- it's also on a necklace so he doesn't lose it, and has a hologram so its easier to read

Jimmy has a coal miner's lamp haha. ha.

Grian and Pearl have sun/moon dials! the dials project a glow of the timer like a clock though, instead of a shadow from the sun/moon

Etho's robotic eye just projects his timer

For now, Skizz has a pocket watch, Impulse and Bigb have really nice wrist watches

I glimpsed an idea of Joel having a grandfather clock and I can't find it but that's hilarious. giant clunky thing

Tango has a candle timer which slowly melts! idk how it refills though asdkfjh

The Bad Boys also have glasses that show their timers at the corner of their vision!

And Martyn's timer is on his comm. I think the Watchers may have hijacked it so he can't communicate to Doc,,,

[oliveinabox]

do u ship bigslab? if so, do u have any headcanons about them? asking since i wanna add more headcanons to my ever expanding bigslab hcs >:33

I DO they're so cute omg

Uh headcanons hmm

They both are pretty low energy so I think that they sit in comfortable silence a lot :)) there's no need to talk when u can cuddle and listen to nature fr HEHE

Also like like my Etho is a tired boy he could sleep forever if he wanted to and I think that BigBs sleepy sometimes (he is a dragon, sometimes natural instincts kick in and he wants to hibernate) and I think maybe they just sleep for awhile :)<3

(Little sketch for u)

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.
