HIHIHI OK IM SO HAPPY I CAN EXPLAIN THIS TO SOMEONE!!!! apologizes if i get anything “wrong”, a lot of this is fan interpretation so it may vary from person to person but the general consensus is this:

each winner from the life series so far has matched up narratively with a celestial body. this is more of a fan thing and less of an official lore thing, so its fanon. but because of this, bear in mind that these are not all 100% agreed upon! i’m just gonna go over the ones i personally really like, but it’s all up to what you want since it’s fanon!

grian is the sun because in old irish, the name grian means sun. also, sun is related to the desert, and that’s fitting for obvious reasons. and also the sun is related to the myth of icarus which matches with grian, who tends to kill/betray his close alliances. ALSOOO all the planets revolve around the sun, much like how grian is the creator of this whole series and is at the center.

scott is the stars because in his origin smp series, he was a starborn and also his life series skin has little particles that are very star-vibey. stars also symbolize good fortune and hope, like how scott tries to be non-violent and such.

pearl is the moon most obviously because it’s in her name (pearlescentmoon) but also in my interpretation, she was all alone in double life and her soulmate wanted nothing to do with her, much like how the moon is lonely and just orbits a planet.

martyn is mars!!! this is one of my favs, so basically the name martyn means dedicated to mars which means many things. for one, mars is the roman god of war which relates to how aggressive he is, and also i saw someone say that mars is the red planet = red king, and martyn is dedicated to the red king (ren).

scar is the earth because he had a motif of sunflowers in secret life, which is connected to nature obviously. additionally, scar tried his best to be down to earth and kind in secret life but was forced to turn evil, which is like how the earth was a good planet until people polluted it.

cleo is pluto because real life wasn’t really considered an actual season of the life series, so a lot of people don’t consider her a real winner, like how pluto isn’t considered a real planet.

as for joel, people can’t really figure out what he’s supposed to be. some people say he’s saturn or uranus for very valid reasons, but personally i think jupiter matches with him because of he has a big ego/temper like how jupiter is big and has huge storms, AND jupiter symbolizes growth like how joel grew from always getting out early to being the last green, yellow and red standing. also, joel was basically like zeus in empires s2, and jupiter is the roman version of zeus.

some additional things i want to say really quick; i also really like scar being mercury because mercury is the god of trickery and commerce which is perfect for scar, and martyn also fits well as a comet because comets wander around the solar system like how martyn is never really loyal to his teammates.

SORRY FOR YAPPING SO MUCH!!!! i love the celestial bodies thing its one of my fav parts of the fandom so i hope this was informative :3

I need some help here guys. I'm pretty new to the Life series fandom (as of Wild Life episode 1 and have caught up with the other series since) and I'm only starting to dip my toes into the Hermitcraft videos (and the content creators involved in both series)

So, can someone explain the whole celestial body association people are making regarding the Life series winner and the fact that Joel breaks that trend?

[melonnlee]

another thought i had: jimmy and lizzie died together. meaning lizzie wasn’t alone when she died, she didn’t have to suffer in the void like she did last season.

[melonnlee]

ok all jokes aside joel’s symbolism HASSS to be jupiter guys cmon we cannot let this opportunity slide, just hear me out

jupiter is BIG just like joel’s ego

jupiter is a symbol of growth and joel has genuinely grown so much as a player, i mean this guy goes from being a feral impulsive red life who always dies early to being passive and very smart about how he plays

jupiter = zeus = JOEL EMPIRES S2 ARE U KIDDING ME not only that but jupiter being the god of lightning makes sense for joel it just matches him SOOOO much joel is simply lightning

i’ve made my point, please make the right choice guys 🫡🫡

Hi, I just wanted to say your Gem pixel art is so pretty and inspiring to me. I'm still a very basic beginner pixel artist but I want to study and learn from your art.

hii! first of all i’m so flattered thank you so much!

but honestly i am still a beginner at pixel art too! that was my first time properly giving it a go, and i liked it a lot! personally, what i did was look at a lot of pixel art that i like (such as stardew valley) and mimicked what i saw.

just keep trying and find what method works for you :)

ok i never did an intro post so

HELLO!!

☆ general info ☆

i’m melon!! welcome to my madness <3 i use she/they pronouns, i am an artist and i like to yap about block people :3

i post mostly just my current interests, which at the moment happens to be hermitcraft, the life series and other smps of the sorts. i also dabble in musical theatre!

☆ boundaries & stuff ☆

feel free to use my art for edits, pfp or banners, just credit me please (and if its an edit TAG ME I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT!!! ^_^)

also my ask box is always open! i’d love to chat, answer questions or take doodle requests if i ever find the time as i am pretty inconsistent with posting.

most of my fanart can be interpreted as platonic or romantic whatever you want but when it can be interpreted as shipping, it is NEVER rpf. characters only! also i don’t do nsfw nor do i want to see it on my page as i am a minor.

itty bitty comic that took me WAYYY longer than i expected :'] i was trying to test the viability of this medium for sequential art and the answer is Yes it kind of works but Only if you have both a ton of patience and time on your hands. i think this turned out kinda swag for a first attempt!

anyways this was going to be the beginning of a short story but now i've moved and. no longer live in the forest anymore kjfdksj so might have to rethink it slightly
