#Aris Paracosm rambles

So we all know Canary Jimmy, but what about Albatross Jimmy? Hear me out on this:

Okay, so firstly, Jimmy has a very big personality. He is loud, highly interactive with those around him, and is impossible to ignore in any situation. Plus he's usually depicted as one of the tallest members of the Life Series. Is that not fitting for the bird with the biggest wingspan on earth? (On top of that, albatrosses are seabirds, which is definitely helpful in bridging some gaps with the Codfather.)

The Canary Curse in of itself is based on the concept of Jimmy's death foretelling the tragedies that are about to occur for everyone else, but what if Jimmy's death is what *brings* the curse? I was thinking about Rime of the Ancient Mariner again, and the albatross there is supposed to be an omen of good luck until the titular Mariner shoots it down with his crossbow. After a while of still waters and horrendous thirst, every sailor on that ship drops dead except for the Mariner, who is bound to the albatross, cruelly spared only by Life-In-Death (Watcher symbolism anyone?).

I know there's a headcanon stating that Skizz is the cause of the Boogeyman Curse (I don't know who created this headcanon, so please tell me if you know), and Albatross Jimmy only strengthens that: Skizz is the Mariner.

Skizz causes Jimmy's final death in Third Life with a bow of all things. He effectively “shoots him out of the sky." And not only did the chaos increase in Third Life immediately after, but every season Skizz has been present for since has involved the Boogeyman Curse in some way.

The only series Skizz was not in was Double Life, where there was no Boogeyman Curse. How would the curse continue if there is no Mariner to accompany the Albatross? Easy answer: Tango took on the role of the Mariner for Double Life, as the cause of Jimmy's first death via Dare To Flare all way back in Third Life. Since this death was not as permanent as the death that Skizz caused, the intensity of the curse was not near as strong, and resulted only in the Ranchers being soulbound (which became a very wholesome, comforting thing for them rather than staying a curse).

Since the curse is primarily based in the events of Third Life, Jimmy dying first may not continue to be a requirement for it as the seasons go on (as evidenced in SL and RL), but what it does require is 200 final deaths total before the curse can end.

Including Real Life, there have been 89 final deaths across the whole of the Life Series, including all six wins assuming that the winners died after each season anyway for the series to continue. Therefore, also assuming an average of 17 players for every subsequent season, there would need to be seven more seasons of the series to accumulate 200 final deaths, in which Skizz would be the final winner.

m so excited to read more of your writing!! it'll be amazing no matter what :DD

ggsjsn thanks you

Like I said before it’s probably not going to be coherent at all and probably more notes than content but I love the space we have here so much.

I’m friends with a cat, I’m friends with an angel, an evil fish I used to work for has discovered I’m a fae and also I’m a literal ball of ink. We all just made a little world bit by bit just by interacting and joking and it’s so moldable!!

“He’s kinda my hero.” -Tango about Jimmy on today’s (8/9/24) stream (approximate timestamp 5:10 on the YouTube upload)

… I’m losing my mind. It’s like they’re actively trying to destroy us.

So this ^^ happened on Tango’s stream today, and it’s directed towards Grian (he used one of G’s farms for a resource and understandably wanted to let him know that he used it),

But I honestly think it’s so funny and so fitting that he’s joining in the neck kisses bit now since the bit originated in his house (Deepfrost Citadel). He was right there for the start of the bit, so it just makes so much sense to me that he would do this, and I sooooo look forward to seeing Grian’s reaction.

I am too far gone. I was given a rather large hat, and as soon as I put it on, my internal thoughts went “oh wow! I can’t wait to reunite with my cowboy-coded soulmate in a train tunnel after we were wrenched apart by a brutal death game! :)” This brainrot is nuts

Hi Aris!! I was wondering if you had a sona i could draww? :>

I do!! :D

It’s been a long time since I’ve drawn my sona, so I had to update her designs, but here’s the two forms of Aris!

My cubito lore for my sona is that she’s a camera account without a player, and her more human looking form is her attempt to disguise herself from the watchers so she doesn’t get assigned to a new player. I headcanon that camera accounts lose their sentience while actively recording for a player. However, even when not recording, they still get an almost incessant urge to archive and organize information.

You are more than welcome to draw her if you’d like! <3

It’s a vicious cycle

I really wanted to drop Ch5 of FinFault on Tuesday because it would be so fitting to share the events of July 30th on an actual July 30th, but with a work presentation tomorrow and packing to move next weekend, it’s just not going to happen. *melts into the floor*

Hopefully it’ll be ready within the next week! :)
