Riddle me this: how is this picture so perfect as a meme template??

I absolutely love the watchers making lifers participate in the death games headcanon, but i also equally love the headcanon that the lifers just....do this for fun.

Like Grian messaging the life group chat like "Okay guys who's ready for your annual trauma hunger games tournament!"

Or like

"This time I have a super cool idea to make it worse! What if we added the boogeyman again?"

And then the life series members that aren't in that season just have to be like "Sorry mate, can't do it this year, I have too much stuff going on rn. Maybe next time tho!"

All the angst and ptsd is still as dramatic and sad as it can be, the lifers just keep doing this willingly and for fun anyway.

Yeah Oli I am sure Joel the drummer is the only one with a thing for Jim. Uh huh.

[mossthegaymer]

Hear me out ... A white hole .... The opposite of a black hole....

we do realise that us not being able to decide on a celestial body for joel does not only fit his thing, but also the season? the season lent itself to so much chaos that what would have been an easy assignment any other season, is creating chaos in this one. we do realise this, right? he is the perfect winner because he was able to adapt to everything and not fight against it, whatever celestial body symbolism you give him will always fit, because he's just that adaptable.

a stage of grief we never heard about before...

[mossthegaymer]

No one talk to me about Cleo and Scott, okay

[mossthegaymer]

At least the shadows are able to keep Scar company on Secret Life.

I think Scar and Martyn enjoy dropping some ominous lore then watching us squirm.

trivia returned for session 8, and so did our form!

hey guys! hope you guys liked the wild life finale and the return of the trivia bot!

final wild life session questions!

we had about a week to come up with final questions exclusively for Wild Life. coming up with questions this time was more challenging due to us not having watched this ongoing season as many times as we've watched/rewatched previous/finished seasons, plus having to make about 50 questions for one season (rather than 100 for 5) was tricky!

we tried to do at least 3 questions related to each player, and tried to have questions that about half the players might be able to answer since we had no idea who might be alive to ask for help at any given time

thank you to everyone--CCs and fans alike--for being incredibly kind and supportive about our questions the first round. you've all made this already fantastic experience even more lovely and memorable. helping out w my favorite series for the last three years was absolutely incredible, so thanks to all of you for taking the quiz, sharing kind messages with the team, and making it an even better time! <3

huge thanks again as well to the rest of the trivia team, @cherrifire, @xmaruu11, @hopepetal, @applestruda, @ink-ghoul, and @cocoabats !!! it's been an honor gang

do you wanna try your luck at the wild life session 5 trivia questions?

well now you can! i gathered all the questions we came up with into a pair of google forms so that you guys can try your hand at the same trivia questions the CCs did!

quizmaster's questions from session 5

we tried to have a good amount of questions for every player and season. we also tried to include only questions we thought at least one person would remember the answer to, especially things we'd seen them bring up recently in their own videos or streams, or big moments that would appear in fanart/animatics that we thought they'd be more likely to remember from seeing in those. we also aimed to include silly questions/answers, or questions/answers we thought people would find entertaining. we wanted players to be able to go to each other and ask each other for help on questions they didnt know the answer to!

but wait! there's more! we also have a form for all the questions which didn't make the cut!

rejected questions

the rejected questions didn't make it due to either being too difficult/niche or being something we did not think any creators would remember, being about a player we already had too many questions for in order to make room for questions about other players, being "stat" or number questions (i.e., "how many times did X die of Y cause?"), having too many names involved in the question or answer (making it hard for players to know who to ask for help), the questions just being wordy, or not being particularly entertaining. fair warning, the rejected questions also were not all fact checked as well as the actual episode questions were, as they didn't go into the actual session

originally our questions were a bit more difficult (we had a lot of questions we didn't necessarily think anyone would remember the answer to), but we were asked to tone it down and have mercy after the unexpectedly high amount of snail carnage (hence why the forms are jokingly names "easy version" and "hard version")

anyway, huge thanks to the rest of the trivia team, @cherrifire, @xmaruu11, @hopepetal, @applestruda, @ink-ghoul, and @cocoabats !!! working with all of you was super fun! and thanks so much to Grian for trusting us with this! this whole thing was a super cool experience and i'm thrilled with how much everyone likes the questions!

List

[mossthegaymer]

personal take on the "life series 6" vs "life series 7" debate:

it's series six BUT that doesn't mean rl doesn't count! rl was a one-off special, not a series.

like, in the rtd era of doctor who, there was one year where they had a set of specials instead of a normal season. it went s4, specials, s5 - but the specials were still canon and important.

real life is the same. not a season, but still counts.

[mossthegaymer]

Blacked out for a second and got this

Watcher Gem!

You can't tell me Gems super power in wild life session 7 didn't give off strong watcher vibes

[mossthegaymer]

Grian going feral and violent this session gave me such joy you don’t understand. He’s being such a watcher this season :]

[mossthegaymer]

We all know how Scar and Grian never truly left the desert right? How it still pulls them back in every possible chance, but what about the others? Bdubs who looks at a clock and feels a intense need to kill, to do what Scar says. What about Scott who always feels a deep sadness and need to scream when Jimmy dies, his husband gone even if he denies it sense that game. Ren who orders people like a king and Etho feeling the need to obey and remain loyal. Impulse never feeling grounded in where he is, as if his alliances are fake to him even now. No it seems no one left the desert..

[mossthegaymer]

i'm noticing some themes this season

[mossthegaymer]

Can we talk about Scar getting the "Who was Grians secret soulmate?" question- please? Like was that intentional??? were all the questions randomized or did someone scheme to hurt me? Intentional or not it is in fact intentional on the watchers behalf. but like... "He was sneaking off in the night" YALL ARE CRAZY THEY WERE CRAZY FOR THIS

[mossthegaymer]

guys am i crazy or are the lifers deadass forgetting what happened in 3rd life????? "grian won a season?" "what happened in 3rd life?"

The thing is, they seem to remember it. Just not the stuff that concerns grian.

Something something watcher grian something something. SOMETHING HAPPENED HERE I CAN FEEL IT. We've had so much watcher grian recently, I can feel it in my bones that this is somewhat intentional.

Can we talk about that btw?? Something about grian becoming less and less human as the time progresses. Like, now he knows what the challenge will be and he'll give you little hints if he likes you enough. Cuz he told mumbo that something bad will happen if the time runs out and then he had him hide scars robot from him.

ALSOO grian letting the timer run down intentionally so that he could hear the stressy music as it runs down???? Letting the snails get close enough to jump for him just to hear the noise and show that he can dodge?? HES TREATING IT LIKE AN ACTUAL GAMEEEE

It feels like he's toying with us, genuinely.
