Okay so @gtwscratch I’m definitely not hyperfixated on your project X au, and I definitely didn’t spend all of last night coming up with preppy headcannons for your au. <3

anyway here are some of my favourites!

[AGES]

Grian - 20

Scar - 20

BigB - 19

Joel - 19

Lizzie - 18

Ren - 18

Mumbo - 17

Martyn - 16

Scott - 16

Impulse - 16

Pearl - 15

Gem - 15

Etho - 15

Cleo - 13

Jimmy - 12

Tango - 12

Skizz - 11

Bdubs - 10

[SPECIES/SIDE EFFECTS]

Grian - He’s avian/watcher, looks mostly the same.

Scar - Part Iron Golem for his strength! The veins in his arms are silver and are very visible. He walks using a cane :D

Joel - Raccoon

Lizzie - Looks mostly normal, but she doesn’t have any pupils or iris’

Ren - If he transforms to long, attributes of the person he transforms into burns into his skin, so he has attributes of some of his friends!

Martyn - Looks mostly the same, but the tips of his ears are red and his hairs pretty messy

Scott - Little chicken wings sprouting from his back, ankles or head :D

Impulse - His veins glow purple from teleporting to much, as well as his scalera (white part of the eyes) turned black.

Cleo - She looks pretty normal for a zombie, js always stressed.

Jimmy - He forgets how to reappear sometimes, and sometimes different parts of him don’t fully go to full transparency

Tango - Blaze rods are extinguished due to the frost walker, and his hands and feet are covered in blue shards of ice.

Bdubs - Mostly the same, has a comfort blanket djakdhajjsjs, eyebags from nightmares (MY POOR BABY)

Big B - eyes on his arms, cheeks, forehead, back, legs etc. All glow yellow.

[HEADCANNONS <333]

Due to Scar getting iron pumped into his arms, and not his legs his legs forget how to work due to his brain having to concentrate on his arms so much, so the lab gave him a cane to walk, and set up a command to make him lighter and easier to carry (his friends can carry him around too!)

The other seasons are all just silly bedtime stories Mumbo wrote before he died :( Every time a younger member gets sad, they read one! (Imagine there’s way less angst and it’s just sillies instead)

Scar never joked around after the mumbo incident, but when Bdubs started calling Etho and Cleo his parents, Scar pretended they were his parents to, to cheer up Bdubs. That’s how the family started!

Tango and Jimmy have little teenage crushes on each other, Grian and Scar say they’re soulmates and Joel promised to marry Lizzie once they escaped!

When Cleo tries to get Mumbo and Skizz to act normal again, she gets Mumbo to write and Skizz to play with Bdubs (It was caused a few accidents, and Cleo always fixes it, hence why Bdubs views Cleo as his Mum/Mom!)

Ren gives Martyn tips on how to block out background sound, due to being part dog, he always had that struggle when he was younger.

Pearl likes Gem a lot because she can tell Pearl about the sky while astral projecting!

Anyways, that’s it, hope you like them!! :D

[valeriza]

NameMC spoilers, beware!

Overanalyzing the skin changes:

The session started at 3 pm EST and according to Jimmy, was only scheduled for 3 hours.

Before 3:00, the first batch of people changed their skins, including Scott, Cleo, Bdubs, and Tango. All of them switched to a zombie skin (or in Cleo's case, a human skin) and then instantly changed right back to their latest Wild Life skin. Martyn and Skizz also both changed to zombie skins (though Martyn changed at 3:04) and did not change back.

Then, between 4:05 and 4:15, the second batch of people changed. Scar, Grian, and Pearl all switched to zombie skins then changed right back within a minute or so. Joel cycled through like 6 different skins from 4:10 to 4:15 (ending on his Etho soulmate skin), but did not put on a zombie skin. I think there was probably a break here, being about an hour into the session.

BigB changed to his creaking skin at 4:23, and Joel changed to his pool floaties skin at 4:27. (No longer an Ethogirl, did he get betrayed?)

The next wave came at 5:15. Lizzie, Impulse, and Jimmy all switched to zombie skins, but did not switch back within a couple of minutes like everyone else had.

Then, Gem changed into a zombie skin at 5:26, then switched into a red life skin a minute later (she'd been wearing her yellow skin previously). Then finally, Joel and BigB changed into zombie skins at 5:38 and 5:56 respectively and immediately switched into normal skins a minute after. Several other players also switched into normal skins following 6 pm.

Ren never put on a zombie skin, only wearing a skin he'd dedicated to Martyn from ~2:20 on. And Etho of course never changed his skin.

So what does all of this mean? Well, I think the zombie skins are a massive troll and indicative of (almost) nothing that happened in this session.

The quick changes before 3 and around 4:10 wouldn't have had any impact on the game, just confuse NameMC watchers. Gem could've switched to her zombie skin when she was switching to red anyways. And Joel and BigB's switches could've happened after the session was over, as the final session doesn't have to go to 6.

Mumbo never changed, so Skizz and Martyn swapping seems like them joining in on the joke, rather than actually joining the session. Also Martyn's change happened a tad bit late, when the session would've already started.

Overall, feels like staggered changes meant to confuse, with Joel going overboard, Gem swapping at an opportune time, and maybe BigB forgetting until the session was already over.

The only unexplainable part is that Jimmy, Impulse, and Lizzie went zombie at 5:15, 5:16, and 5:17 respectively, and stayed that way. The only reason I can think of for that is perhaps, people were divided up into groups and meant to swap briefly to zombie skins every hour or so. But for the last swap, I'd guess there was no break, so only already-dead players changed. Perhaps Ren and BigB were meant to be part of that last batch and were preoccupied with the game, so they never changed until too late? Gem as well, was probably on the run until she went red.

Anyways, I've spent far too long thinking about this. Can't wait to find out I was completely wrong when the videos come out!

[kingjullian-3]

This was a season of curses being broken. Jimmy through a technically was not the first to die. Grian as far as I’m aware did not kill or be the direct cause for an allied death. None of Scott’s allies this season won.

Lizzie was the first to die. Forgotten by the watchers, left to suffocate in the thin air of the void. Her death had been a complete accident not many people even noticed or felt sorry. Her death also wasn’t the start of chaos, but neither was Jimmy’s. He died during the chaos, and a watchers last ditch effort to see through a curse that shouldn’t have lasted.

Grian didn’t have many allies this season. The only real ones being Cleo and Etho. Every other season he has had a strong alliance almost the entire season. This time? It really wasn’t till session 4/5 when he made any real connections. However he still trusted Etho and Cleo as if they had been his allies the whole season, stayed with them despite his history. Everyone knows of Grian’s Icarus curse, doomed to cause a ally to fall. But they stood by him, never dying as a cause of him.

It’s common knowledge that in every other season, the winner had somehow been connected with Scott. The Flower Desert Alliance, Scott himself, Pearl was his soulmate, Martyn had been the other Mean Gill. Yet Scar never really had any real connection to Scott. Sure they got along, but I wouldn’t call that an alliance. Scar turned his back on anyone who sided with him in a way.

This season was more about healing than anything else. Curses were broken, more than just those 3. Joel didn’t have his signature red bloodlust (as far as I know). It’s also important to note the implication regarding the forgotten duo as I’ll call them.

Lizzie and Grian were both forgotten in a way. No-one showed up to Lizzie’s birthday party, A single person really cared that she had died. Lizzie has been forgotten by everyone. The watchers, listeners, and players alike. This ultimately lead to her unfortunate demise, trying to fill out a task given to her by Joel.

“He was never meant to be there, he was only ever meant to watch” that line alone sums up almost the entirety of Grian this season, especially session 7. During the curse of the boogey, they only thought of Scott and Cleo. Sure he was mentioned in passing, but no one ever really looked for him. Etho realised that Grian had been forgotten when he looked to the sky and saw the changed platform. His way of apologising was by letting Grian complete his task freely.

Grian watched carefully from the safety of the cobblestone tower as the rest of the server was in chaos. Hunting for allies and enemies alike. Never once looking up to the skies. Just as a watchers should be. Watching. Never getting involved and forgotten to do his own thing. Perhaps THEY had successfully done one thing this season after all

[mashedmangos]

How I see double life pairs' soul link lines

Scar and Grain:

The line is stronger towards Scar and thin and weaker towards Grian to represent how he has a secret soulmate

Jim and Tango:

They've got a strong bond, so heart in the middle :3

Pearl and Scott:

It's snapped

Etho and Joel:

It's normal, I didn't really have any other ideas

Cleo and Martyn:

Very thin and close to snapping

Ren and BigB:

It's tied together, it was weak due to the secret soulmate but they still were together

Impulse and Bdubs:

THEY'RE SO SILLY I LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM, their soul link is wrapped around their fingers to represent both wedding rings and being soulmates

[the-somwthing]

I dug through my notes and found some unfinished life series statistics, so I went ahead and finished them.

And now, the average placements! There are two different versions, one for using the Soulbound DL section and one for using the Separate DL section, whichever one you think is more fair. This does mean some placements will be the same (people who weren’t in DL and Tango who died first no matter what)

AVERAGE PLACEMENTS: SOULBOUND

Etho - 5.2

Impulse - 5.4

BigB - 6

Scott - 6.2

Pearl - 6.75

Ren - 7

Cleo - 7

Tango - 7

Martyn - 7

Grian - 7.4

Scar - 8

Bdubs - 8

Jimmy - 11.2

Skizz - 12

Joel - 12.6

Lizzie - 13.5

Mumbo - 14

Gem - 15

AVERAGE PLACEMENTS: SEPARATE

Etho - 3.4

Martyn - 5.8

Scott - 6

Impulse - 6.2

BigB - 6.2

Tango - 7

Pearl - 7.5

Cleo - 7.6

Ren - 7.6666666666667

Grian - 7.8

Bdubs - 8.6

Scar - 8.6

Jimmy - 10

Skizz - 12

Joel - 12.8

Lizzie - 13.5

Mumbo - 14

Gem - 15

Wow! Etho is killing it out here, being first place in both versions. Being soulbound to Joel tanked his score by 2 placements but he is still on top. This is rather unfair to Gem, Mumbo, and Lizzie, who have only been in very little seasons and worst of all the only seasons they’ve been in were the ones with a higher player count. Still, in order to be higher than last they would’ve needed to not have their first deaths so soon…

Martyn is way higher in the Separate section due to technically not dying, but like, HE was the one who killed his soulmate, so L bozo on the soulbound section.

Interestingly, Scar and Bdubs tied in both sections even though they got different scores.

Also worth mentioning, you’d think that the Separate section would help those who had their soulmates die before they did, but it only helps sometimes because they’re still competing with the other half of the server who had their soulmates die first. Not to mention the pairs that lasted longer.

Well, any surprises here? I always knew Etho was a survivor. That was, like, a whole thing in Last Life, despite Ren and Martyn beating him in that season. Actually, Etho is never the last person to die, he is just consistently ONE OF the last to die. Except in 3rd Life (and Double Life if you take the soulbond into account).

Life series alliances and enemies I want to see!

(BIG DISCLAIMER: All of the people in the life series are friends and will choose what happens in an improvised series, me wanting two people to be rivals like Renchanting vs The sand hippies doesn’t mean I want them to hate each other in real life, this is a for fun post as season 6 is coming very soon)

Alliances:

Grian and BigB: They have gotten close a few times but never a long series alliance. I really love their friendship and I want to see them team together more than one episode.

Mumbo and Scar: I loved how they were in early episodes of secret life, a long series alliance would be so cool, especially if Mumbo last longer.

Scott and Tango: We’ve only seen bits and pieces of these two but I think it would be interesting. Some people have been rude about these two teaming so there’s a bit of spite in there too. I just think it would be cool to see.

Cleo and Jimmy: Even less interactions. Why these two? I don’t know, I think they would make a great alliance. Probably best work with a third person so I shall suggest Pearl or Bdubs here.

Ren and Scott: I am not over third and last life with these two. I don’t want them as enemies or fighting to the death, I want to see Ren and Scott be allies. Be bros. I want to see theatre kid Ren with Scott okay?

Lizzie and Etho: Sorry Joel, your wife is teaming with your ex-soulmate.

Joel and Pearl: Please please please please please- I just think they would be neat :3

Scott and Joel: While I really want Joel to take Scott’s final life, I would 100% down with these two teaming. What a great alliance it would be to be with the guy you tried to kill multiple times! In other words, I think it would be funny for me. That’s the most important thing.

Any combination of Skizz, Mumbo and Lizzie: Our guys that weren’t in double life, I need these three to interact more okay?

Martyn and Grian: I know someone asked Martyn to make a one side homoerotic relationship with Grian next season but I would be so down for a team up. Yeah yeah they were in Southlands together but I want just them as a duo.

Ren and Martyn: “hey didn’t they already team?” Yes and? I have been waiting for so long for these two to talk again and Ren might not be in this season again. I don’t have any evidence to say he won’t but I’m not getting my hopes up again.

Lizzie and Pearl: We got a taste of these two in secret life and I think they would have a solid alliance. Plus red life with these two? Two wet cats with a taste for blood? Sign me the fuck up.

Enemies:

Pearl and Gem: “uwu wouldn’t it be so cool if they were together and pearl helped gem win?” Fuck no. I want blood. I want them at each other’s throat. I want Pearl to actively take Gem’s final life. You had murder camel, let me see these two fight to the death okay? Fuck an alliance I want murder and death.

Martyn and Tango: Watchful eyes would see that over the seasons Martyn and Tango have a sort of rivalry or at the very least Tango is bullied/teased by Martyn. Rarely have they been on the same page. Therefore, I want them to be official enemies.

Tango and Skizz: I don’t want them to be actual rivals, it just would be nice for Skizz and Tango to branch out from each other as they have teamed in every season besides third and double life. Being rivals is a treat.

Impulse and Skizz: Same as above but more because they are best friends, I would love to see them tease each other lol.

Pearl and BigB: I don’t think this would happen but it would be something new. Especially how Pearl wanted BigB to win limited life when they were the nosey neighbours.

Scott and Joel: Pretty please take Scott’s final life I love the guy but I need Joel to do it please please please-

Ren and Martyn: Yes I want them to be alliances again but enemies? Oh? Oh ho? We had a taste of this with last life’s final four battle royal and Martyn confirming that he was always going to betray Ren. I need to see that.

Bdubs and Etho: Purely for the angst <3

Mumbo and Grian: I love these two so much but proper rivals would go so hard. Bonus if Scar is teamed with one of them lmao.

Impulse and Bdubs: It won’t be brought up but I think the clock grudge lasting all the way to season 6 would be funny as hell.

Bdubs and Joel: Short.

Cleo and literally anyone: She is very scary as an enemy not in a “Cleo would beat your ass” she couldn’t, but in a “they will hurt you with words”

Anyway who do you want as allies or enemies in season 6?

[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...

Ivy's top 10 most wanted Life Series Teamups

1. The 4Gs (Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss and Gem)

I've gone over this before. 3Gs is my favourite team period, Gem has great dynamics with all of the members. Seeing them go on a rampage is always fun.

One thing I do want to mention: I think they should be Evil. Scott deciding to be evil and split people up in double life was very fun, Cleo is basically always some level of evil, Gem and Pearl are also fun when they're Evil, so yeah. Let them be Evil, as a treat

2. Team Etho (Joel,Gem, Bdubs)

Joel and Bdubs were fun together as mounders, Gem and Joel were fun for the breath time they were together in Real Life, this team would be very silly while also taking everything deadly seriously, and that's funny to me.

Also I imagine them constantly trying to convince etho to join the team, like full and giving him free stuff. There practically begging as etho strings them along

3. Seablings Expanded (Jim, Lizzie, Gem, Grian)

The fish and the fishers. We saw a Gem/Grian/Jim dynamic in the charity stream and that's basically how I imagine this team working, just the four of them constantly bullying each other. They probably will get nothing done.

4. Team Close-Knit (Jim, Pearl, Skizz, Scar)

People want a Scar - Pearl team up. People want a Jim - Scar team up. I want a Pearl - Skizz team up. This is what you get when you combine that. Complete chaos and complete loyalty to each other. (Mixed in with Pearl desperately trying to keep everyone alive)

5. Secret Soulmates (Grian, Bigb)

Ever since secret life this has been one of my most wanted. Seeing Grian completely befuddled by everything Bigb does would be so much fun, plus secret soulmates reunion. More people for Scar to burn.

6. Real Life Soulmates (Joel, Lizzie)

Let them kill people as a couple <3

7. The Villains (Martyn, Cleo, Ren, Tango)

Hell yeah another Evil team. Martyn and Ren's dynamic is always a highlight. Seeing Tango scheme with everyone would be fun. Seeing Cleo constantly debating whether or not to abandon them would be interesting. And we'll get to see what it would have been like if martyn had bothered to go find cleo in double life

8. The Tryhards (Mumbo, Skizz)

People don't mention this but one.of my all time favourite duos was skizz and Mumbo in last life. The two of them on red trying desperately to be intimidating and failing miserably was great and it would be fun to see them as a duo for a whole season

9. Big Dogs: 2 (Mumbo, Martyn)

Out of all the South landers, Mumbo and Martyn was my favourite dynamic. The loyalty martyn had for Mumbo and basically no one else, Mumbo trying desperately to intimidate people, it was all really fun and I think it should happen again (also return of Aha)

10. Soupgroup (Impulse, Pearl, Gem)

I am a simple girl. Life Soupgroup sound fun. Let them kill people together.

okay so im totally addicted to putting life series members onto a wheel and making up random life series games so here we go again!

i did one with ‘triple life’ in mind, basically double life but with groups of 3 instead! i don’t think they’d actually do this because it’s quite a lazy idea but i was bored lmao

i did all the players in limited life + ren because i needed 15 to make it work so yeah here are the teams!

Team 1: Tango, Jimmy & Scott Oh you’ve got to be kidding me EVERY TIME I DO THESE WE GET THESE PAIRINGS AGAIN! Honestly I’m not complaining though I love flower husbands and ranchers but I have a feeling Scott wouldn’t make it to the finale for once.

Team 2: Ren, BigB & Etho Well we already had Ren and Bigb soulmates, I can’t really remember if either of them have teamed with Etho before though? I do think this team would have a solid chance!

Team 3: Scar, Joel & Impulse Two bloodthirsty idiots and an Impulse what could possibly go wrong? Impulse has no chance at being in the finale if he was connected to these two it just can’t happen.

Team 4: Grian, Martyn & Bdubs My memory is failing me have these ever teamed together? Grian and Martyn were in Southlands. At least I think so. Either way I’m here for it.

Team 5: Cleo, Pearl, Skizz YES! ABSOLUTELY YES! Pearl and Skizz teaming would be so lovely and I miss the chaotic duo of Cleo and Pearl so so much this would be so cool!

Doing these just reminds me how god awful my memory is because I keep forgetting who has teamed before lmao

[royallygray]

them <3

More technically, I do think that it's because Jimmy and Joel are more from the X Life/Empires side of mcyt, and Etho and Tango are from the redstone Hermitcrafters, and it was the first time they actually teamed up, and it was a more obscure crossover.

None of the other soulmates had that (Bdubs & Impulse, Grian & Scar are Hermits, Scott & Pearl were on Empires, and Scott and Cleo had been trying to do the Widow's Alliance for ages and also Scott is... Scott (MCC organizer, .) Martyn & Cleo and Ren & BigB don't really interact a lot (from my knowledge), since neither Martyn nor BigB are part of the Empires/X Life group or the Hermits, so we have a lot less of a chance to see that with them.

Jimmy and Joel are X Life/Empires group, and Etho and Tango (to my knowledge) don't rly expand outside of the Hermitcraft circle. But Double Life gave them that chance to randomly team up with people that they almost certainly wouldn't in the first place. But the Empires X Hermitcraft crossover gave a chance for Jimmy and Tango (unsure about boat boys) to see each other outside of the death game, same with the HC charity stream.

And now that Joel's joined Hermitcraft, he has several more chances to interact with Etho, and since their friendship/homo-something dynamic originated from DL, they'll keep up a similar dynamic or reference it.

I'm repeating myself. Hope I got my point across. Just. Them <3

most of the Double Life players are normal about their soulmates these days but i love how Etho and Joel are still Etho-and-Joeling and Tango and Jimmy still call each other "Rancher" every time they meet up

[sawasourjuice]

when I saw u had a Life Series s4 Au, I got curious can you explain it more? Have a good day!

Yeah I can explain a bit! It was called ReLife and I made it with my friend Nox so I can’t take all the credit at all ! Haven’t spoken to them in a while but they’re really cool n stuff

Anyways it was just a concept of like, if you combined the soulmates thing and also the boogeyman. So there were new soulmate bonds and it was pretty interesting!

The soulmates were

Jimmy/Tango

Ren/Martyn

Mumbo/Scar

Grian/Joel

Lizzie/Zed

Impulse/Skizz

Scott/Etho

Bigb/Bdubs

Cleo/Pearl

Sausage/Gem

These were all (except 2-3) randomly rolled so it was fun to figure out dynamics n stuff, it was mostly rancher duo based tbh but I still have the relationship chart saved so you can have that :DD

I have some other drawings too from the Au so :] that’s all !
