[aniisol]

so far for the people who aren't watching the lore stream:

I'M SORRY MR LITTLEWOOD? THOUSANDS OF LIFE SERIES HAVE TAKEN PLACE???

the canary curse was NOT AN ACUTAL MYTHICAL CURSE.

there are still no Listener players

Martyn (character)'s new scar is at the top of his ear

The Watchers and Listeners are fighting more than before, with the Listeners finally gaining ground

Zombie-Martyn wasn't aware of himself or what was going on

Martren was a form of torture used by the Watchers to ruin something "that he held dear, that was so important to him" (it was Martyn. Martyn was the most important thing)

there is a tier-list of Watchers on their council, some with more power than the others

Martyn doesn't know about Scar's lore a (regarding Trader Scar's), but Scar was going mad by himself until the Watchers sent him back to the endless void

the Watchers still don't like Scott

the Watchers can project sight or hallucinations

Impulse has gotten so close to winning each time that he's going mad about it

(will update as the stream goes on)

my piece for @inthelittlezine! Martyn's Last Life pov 🔛🔝

[hybbart]

The hosts of the games (minus Grian, who hosted 3rd life himself) Each one was hosted by a watcher inspired by the original game to host their own.

lore below

The Boogieman (he/she) loves bloodsports and the drama of betrayal, so she created a game in which curses were bestowed upon players (some more permanent than others) and gave them the ability to gain and lose more hearts in order to encourage violence. He hosted Last Life after seeing how Grian's game ended and wanted more red life drama.

The Spinner (they/them) loves the relationship drama and tragedy of the games, so made a mechanic to pair up the players. Their favourite biome is the Ancient City because of its horror movie (the true romantic genre supposedly) like atmosphere, so they built the arena atop one. They cursed golden apples to break bonds and put them in the game hoping at least one of the pairs would participate int he drama of consuming them, but the planned failed to their annoyance.

The Clockmaker (any) is a control freak who interfered the most forwardly with their games. They wanted the most chances possible for stories and gaming, so created a mechanic to allow for more deaths and strategies. They ended up breaking Limited Life more often than not with their strange mechanics. They wanted a centrepiece to their arena similar in danger to the pillager outpost Double Life incidentally had, but broke it while attempting to make resources more plentiful to minimize time resource gathering.

The Secret Keeper (it/its) wanted to create a more relaxed game with more ridiculous and silly situations, so inserted itself into the game to hand out tasks to do instead of mull around until the players kill each other and mechanics to discourage hurting each other directly. It doesn't care for the drama the others before it loved so much, and didn't both maintaining the curses Boogieman placed leading to some of them breaking.

Part 1

Some more headshots! Also Watcher lore related designs (Oli is a speaker in my headcanon, he’s not one in EaE lore)

[vicprobably]

Oli's inclusions in Wild Life are so fun because it means that you can headcanon him as a Watcher but only if he's silly. All-powerful god-like figure but he only sends down snails and robots and superpowers plus cool music playing alongside them

Blessed be those who listen

this genuinely took me like 8 hours yesterday but it was worth it

edit: hey hi if you like this and want to see more art whenever i get the motivation to draw and actually finish it then consider following :3

I’ve watched it happen again and again, haunted by A thousand kind beginnings and a thousand bloodied ends Forever tethered to your life but cursed to only watch

Rabbitology - Preybirds (Watcher Song)

Life series fandom is sleeping on Rabbitology, the lyrics suit watchers lore too much (it's even in the title of the song that art was inspired by!!)

Introducing Art inspired by Preybirds (Watcher Song), I'm actually going insane by how much the lyrics suit desertduo vibes in that case

That art was inspired by song all in all, but those quotes stand out the most:

I’ve watched it happen again and again, haunted by A thousand kind beginnings and a thousand bloodied ends I shouldn’t play with fate But what if once, I could make you safe?

So while you think you’re alone, you cast two shadows down the road Where you have buried all your past lives’ bones

The two red suns in the sky blink, my pity-filled eyes Hoping the heartlines will change this time (They’re my blank and pitiless eyes)

If you’d just look up, I could be your guide Why can’t I catch your eye how you’ve caught tens of mine

You’re blind to all my warning cries When I speak in dust devils, crop circles, flocks of mayflies So I’ve no choice but to come down

Forever tethered to your life but cursed to only watch Catastrophe Repeat until You look at me

I’m the dying fire In the birthing light And I’ll break every bind That I’m blighted by

HOW could that not be in any way inspired by life series HOW no I do not understand, or WAS IT

Playing with fate, Watchers not being able to affect fate, strings of fate, trying to affect surroundings so whoever is being addressed understands the danger, many many eyes of Watcher, pityless red eyes, fate, fate-

On a serious note, go listen to that trafficblr, you won't regret it.

Some MCYT themed art I did for my college project!

[lar-arts]

That moment when you are joking around with friends and you almost manage to forget that you were turned into an immortal eldritch being without your consent, and now you will never again experience what being alive feels like.

I love that Martyn makes more internet/pop culture references in the Life Series than everyone else. While they shy away from it for the sake of the story, Martyn's lore says he's a Real Life Guy and allowed to know about Vine
