#I’m watching BigBs secret life :3

[z0mbiew00d]

Zombiebird nation how are we feeling

[grimaussiewitch]

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?

[karma-creations]

My favorite bits/lines from every Secret Life session after watching all POVs

Session 1

tango trying to ask multiple questions at a time to get scar talking for a little while and scar outright telling him to shut up so he can infodump

joel’s response to lizzie, his ACTUAL WIFE, saying "I love you": "oh thank you"

joel: "hey bdubs your house is upside down" bdubs: "YES I KNOW IT'S UPSIDE DOWN- i'm sorry. i'm sorry"

bdubs not-so-subtly begging mumbo not to build a house inspired by his and mumbo straight up going going "uh huh" before suggesting a house inspired by bdubs's

cleo catching etho with the bed shrine

mumbo: "it could be like the alps, but bad. like, much worse."

martyn: "we can do a bit of, uh, tankin' and spankin'" gem: "……bit of what?"

skizz: "all of us are pretty old, maybe our island's called heart problems"

tango: "well, i'll be honest, skizz… everybody's teamed up, so… you're all that's left, we're gonna have to shack up" skizz: "well! it’s like a giant hug!"

Session 2

everyone going "OOOOHHhhhhhhhhhh…….." after skizz's creeper got put in a boat

mumbo: "I'm happy to be in whatever group you guys- oh hey bdubs"

bdubs: "I DON'T NEED NO MOM, I'M A GROWN MAN!" cleo: "really? how do you explain the everything?"

cleo (to bdubs): "you're just a horse girl at heart, aren’t you?"

skizz going "BREAK IT UP BREAK IT UP" at the same time as tango chanting "FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT"

scar: "was this your idea, pearl?" pearl: "no" scar: "this is amazing, only you would have come up with something like this"

martyn: "that's right, I'm a yellow life, and I've come to KILL you" bigb: "….wow, dude"

grian: "I've had the weirdest interactions whenever I see you" bigb: "y'know, I hope they get weirder"

everyone singing happy birthday off-key and out of sync

mumbo: "is there anything that I can help with? I come with no resources and very little talent"

bdubs: "I know how to crit punch, so it's gonna hurt you more than it hurts me!" gem: "..I also know how to crit punch" bdubs: "oh"

scar: "can I give you a ride, bdubs, wherever you're going?" bdubs: "freaking no, not on that thing! you kidding me?" scar: "aw. well I was just offering!" bdubs: "…all right, fine."

Session 3

*joel and lizzie arguing* grian: "aren't you guys married"

grian saying "I don't like what this has become" then immediately joining in the chanting when it’s joel's turn to fail

grian: "I love you, etho" etho: "……thank you?"

mumbo: "right, show me the gear knob on that camel" grian: "I’d rather not"

cleo: "yes, tango, the thing that I know about you is you don't know how minecraft works"

cleo's constant ethubs jokes

etho waterboarding everyone

scar: "losers will be beaten with my beatin' stick"

joel: "you are a FAILURE!!" martyn: "wow that was whole chest" joel: "sorry I’ve had a really rough episode"

bigb accidentally picking up torchy and tango being DEVASTATED

cleo: "why are we coming out this way?" bigb: "so no one can hear!" cleo: "well impulse is right there" impulse: "who?"

torchy out for blood the entire time

Session 4

cleo accidentally hitting etho with her sword and etho's immediate response: "I'LL DO THE DISHES I'LL DO WHATEVER YOU WANT"

cleo: "hey grian" grian: "🎶hellooo theeeere🎶" cleo: "hello, are you singing?" grian: "🎶absolutely not, I would never sing🎶"

mumbo: "what's your favorite welsh town" grian: "……….🎶let me googleee🎶"

grian: "I don't know what to do with myself now, cleo, what do we do?" cleo: "I don't know, I think we should burn things down"

grian: "ignore the stairs, they wouldn’t burn"

scar: "you guys are still here? I went and stole a bunch of stuff and you guys are still yapping over here"

jimmy: "I'll go in BigB's hole" scott: "you're gonna do WHAT????" cleo: "I always knew there was something about you two"

scar singing back at grian with no hesitation

grian and scar spotting martyn hiding behind the tree

jimmy: "WHAT ARE YOU DOING" scott: "hi, I’m just making the path connect-" jimmy: "STOP CRYIN' AND TELL US WHAT YOU'RE DOIN'" scott: "I'm making the path connect like lizzie did"

joel: "anyway, just came over here to ruin your day"

bdubs: "okay, you count us in" bigb: "okay. seven"

mumbo: "what do I win?" bdubs: "uhh- you win.. eight baked potatoes!" mumbo: "YEEEEESSS!!!!!"

bdubs: "you can't hit me! I can say and do whatever I want! okay, going to the house real quick though, to lock myself in"

people gaslighting jimmy and martyn (mostly jimmy) into thinking there’s a zombie/skeleton horse spawner somewhere

bdubs: "hey, hey! I consider you a friend! apparently it’s not reciprocated." gem: "it’s not. what do you want?"

jimmy: "martyn I think he can see you-" *beat* martyn: "WELL HE DIDN’T UNTIL YOU SAID THAT YOU IDIOT"

martyn: "oh yeah, wait! why are you wearin’ that?" scar: *incoherent cop sounds* (/ref)

jimmy: "he'll come back like nothing's happened now" mumbo: "hey guys 😀"

skizz: "here's the thing, I'm not too bossy, I- Boppers, go home for a second, I gotta talk to these guys"

[dunmanticarchivistsmain]

Alright I’ve had a good night to sleep on Wild Life and I’m ready to cook up my headcanons on Life lore.

Despite the name that was a relatively tame first episode; everyone’s spread out in a usual fashion, claiming high ground, resources and allies.

The opening teams this time are such a treat; you’ve got Jimmy, Scar and Lizzie. Treebark. Obsession Duo. GrumboMan. BET. BigB off by himself (whyyy)

Aaaaand there’s the Gs (now upgraded to 4G with impulse being Grownman or Guy). What kind of destiny is so intractable, so unyielding, that after 4 seasons of death, betrayal and pain these 3 cannot deviate from their orbits around each other?

It's almost strange to see, especially after the healing that was Secret Life. Why the regression, why the diving back into what seems like an unhealthy relationship?

It's only after watching Scar, that I realised. Pearl semi-won Secret Life. She may not have carried one of her chosen Mounders to victory, but her personal arc of healing was completed by relinquishing the bloodlust and desire to win, her half hearted ally Scar earned his victory, she made new friends and had a mostly good time being in the thick of things. I'd like to think Scar came out of his victory the most sane of all the winners, so far he seems a little on edge, but he seems much sharper in his survival skills (aside from the falling please never change Scar <3) planning defenses and gathering allies etc. Interestingly he put Pearl on 100/100 relationship immediately, despite having never interacted (?) with her at all this first episode except sharing the first deaths.

Anyway back to Pearl, what's her headspace going into a new life series, having mostly achieved her goal of getting a friend across the finish line?

Primarily I see her as cautious, with her familiarity of the twists and turns of the seasons changing, she wants to know what ground she's treading first. Circumstance or destiny has brought old faces to her side, ghosts made manifest. So she tests. She tests if they remember, as she does. No better than known quantities, as a control for what may have changed. Clearly they do. They remember it all. The gaslighting, the gatekeeping. Just not the girlbossing. I think Pearl has made her peace with that. That part of her is a rotting corpse chained to her soul. That part of her died when he killed them.

And then there's Impulse. The one who seems on the cusp of remembering, of being drawn into the nexus of unbreakable fate. He has always been a contender, an aspirant to the pantheon. He positions himself as the useful one, at the very least a player in the games. So far he's contributed a lot of time to the team, digging obsidian, herding cows, figuring out the wildcard. But is he really stuck in? Between the moon and stars which side will he lean if perchance....one were to bolt?

Because this is not a stable configuration; for the first time in 5 seasons, Pearl has not outright said: I want my team my partner my universe assigned person and I to win. In fact when Cleo brought up loyalty, of all the people she who could best have a claim to it, Pearl outright shoots down the idea that day one alliances last despite having never being the one to break them up and having always wanted them to hold. I think victory means little to Pearl now, she has won, she has lost, her team has won, her team has lost. So what drives Pearl, in a world of chaos and uncertainty? I don't really know but if I had to guess?

Defiance.

She has never been a conformist, and she only cleaved to people's flawed expectations as a subversion. Pearl has been on a malicious compliance arc lately on hermitcraft and I am having some tasty hopes that will continue (copium intensifies). Grouping up with an old team? That sounds like great groundwork for expectation subversion if you think she's going to be like previous season, loyal and almost self-sacrificial. Why would she, to a group that treats her like trash?

Very much enjoyed the opening episodes this week, they are such fertile soil for headcanons and interpretations. Looking forward to the weekly twists and turns with all the cast and crew.

I leave you with one of my favorite quotes from a book "The galaxy will know, before long, one way or the other, that defiance yet exists in this crooked house of lies" ~The Path of Heaven, Chris Wraight

[wishwingalpha]

I’m back! More fragments, let’s go. This time we have Gem and Pearl! Both absolutely slayed this season.

Geminitay

She’s only been in one season but I think got farther than most people who join later on. (With the acception of pearl of course.)

Her only fragment is on her eye from when she opened the end portal, and it seemed pretty important as her skin changes to highlight it.

Pearlecentmoon

You might’ve noticed that she only has three, this is also because she joined later on— as well as winning a series. (Just a recap for people who haven’t watched all the series.)

Last life - This fragment is on her mouth. I did this for the bit that her Scott and Cleo had in which they called eachother gaslight, gatekeep and girlboss. Sense Pearl was gaslight, that’s why I put it there.

Double life - this is the one that she won, so it’s not visible? Or is it? Or does it heal last life’s? Look I’m a little confused but shhhh— if double life had a mark it could go on the hand. For petting Tilly of corse <3

Limited life- the eye. This is for the “always watching” motif She and bigb had at the end of every episode. Plus she’s a nosy neighbor so she’s watching everyone.

Secret life- the chest / heart. I think the heart break of watching her entire team die slowly, and having none of them win was pretty hard for her. Her entire goal throughout the season was to get one of them to win and she failed. I think she was really close to her mourners so — yay.

[mothofprophecy]

Ok ok time to talk about my tma secret life au (I’ve been working on this with Shrub ( @moonyforests ) so some of the ideas are theirs)

Also tma spoilers (a lil for the start of season 5) ahead so beware

The idea behind this is that the secret life server is a domain in the eyepocalypse (we’re thinking probably a web one because of their tasks but maybe spiral idk)

The secret keeper is watching in place of the giant eye(s) in the sky so the people in the server are less suspicious of what’s going on

The tasks all correspond to an entity (or multiple, or partially one and a lot of another, Robert Smirke was wrong guys the entities overlap so much). For example let’s take Gem’s session one task ‘convince someone to take a leap of faith and make sure they take no damage’. This is so so so Vast I literally cannot iterate enough how Vast this is. We also have BigB’s session one task, ‘Dig a big hole. All the way down. At least 3x3. Make it your base if you want’. Ignoring the weirdness of the phrasing for a second (I’ll return your attention to BigB later in this very long post), this is quite obviously Buried. However some tasks such as Grian’s ‘make 3 bad jokes and get NO laughs’ doesn’t particularly seem to be any of them. We can assign it one at a stretch (perhaps lonely) but it isn’t obvious.

This domain is slightly odd since we have several avatars in it (who the domain doesn’t belong to). We can probably say that the secret keeper is the avatar of this domain, since it’s responsible for the tasks, but who knows?

Let’s talk about BigB. If you’ve seen some of my previous posts you probably know I’m already headcanoning him as the distortion. It just makes so much sense. The gaslighting, the weird corri-door and just everything he’s doing is very very distortion. I see him very much as an equivalent to Michael in this (and Grian as Helen to an extent). I’m putting Grian as the distortion as well because the events are just too perfect.

1. Grian goes into BigB’s underground hotel/corridors/confusing place

2. Grian goes and moves people’s doors under their noses, drawing the line from Lizzie ‘I know this doesn’t make sense to you, but this door was not here a second ago’

3. Grian goes and builds the most Spiral-esque staircase EVER

As I said, the events are just too perfect

But yes these are the ideas I (and Shrub) have so far! Feel free to add anything if you think of stuff (it would be awesome if someone who knows some of the other guys better than me headcanons what they are/do in this au)

I’m currently drawing more art of distortion!BigB and Grian so expect that in a bit!

[lavendernlilac]

incubus au my beloved !! i’d love to hear more about the world 👀👀 also skysibling crumbs ??

SKYSIBLING CRUMBS !!!!!

okay okay So. grian is the middle child between pearl and jimmy <3

pearl is 26, grian is 24, jimmy is 22. I haven’t quite settled on what pearl and jimmy’s occupations/roles are in the au yet, but I’ve got a rough idea of their relationships to the paranormal!

grian has his ability that allows for him to see the paranormal (what that exactly looks like rn I’m not sure yet) but grew up with no one really believing him. he thought pearl believed him but in the end, she just thought he was grieving. their relationship is… strained. and now he’s a researcher!

pearl has a slight connection to the paranormal — not through grian but to her girlfriends, gem and cleo :D gem is a necromancer and cleo is someone she brought back from the dead. it’s because of gem that pearl realizes the paranormal is Real and that everything grian told her wasn’t a lie. there’s also uh… another Big Event involved that was extremely traumatic for both siblings so it makes it very hard for pearl to even begin to close the gap between her and grian, let alone apologize for not believing him

my current potential idea for pearl is she’s a reporter for nosey neighbors (she works with bigb)

and then… jimmy

jimmy has zero connection to the paranormal. he’s living a completely mundane life compared to grian and pearl. grian kept it all a secret from jimmy while growing up and pearl was going through her own struggles. so jimmy basically grew up watching his family fall apart :D (cough they all have religious trauma thanks to their dad cough)

do I know where jimmy works? nope! but I Do know that scott purposefully comes to see him almost every day to flirt with him <3

now that I think about it, pearl and jimmy meeting scar for the first time must have been Extremely entertaining

[little-flowers]

When the insomnia hits hard, my rambling hits harder.

Things that have happened to BigB or he has done on secret life that make me wondering what it up: a list

1. The red secret. Now for the people who have not watched BigBs videos his secret is red. Compared to all the rest that are white. And even beyond that the name of his secret book has red letters. Its definitely very intentional. Because theres no reason for it to be red. Scars hard one wasn’t red, only BigBs.

2. The lies. BigB has lied a fairly decent amount and not the ‘Im just protecting myself lies’, but lies about a lot if things. Its very evident in the first one, with the whole conversation with Grian. Especially since theres no reason he shouldve lied!! He turned in his task, he could’ve just said his task was to dig a hole, nobody would’ve been like ‘thats a weird task’ because its the first session. I mean even grian barely knows how the tasks work. He left it all up for everyone else to decide scars fate. Nobody would’ve batted an eye.

3. His tasks in general. Now while something as small as the task ‘dont say any mobs name for 30 minutes’ seems mundane and basic. The whole point of the series is to push everyone together, while at the same time keeping them all apart. Almost every single task involves to some degree interacting with other players. But both of BigBs were very solidarity, he didn’t need anyone else’s input in order to complete it. Theres maybe 2 tasks? (don’t quote that number) That aren’t BigBs that don’t require other players. And don’t get me started on the wording of the 3x3 hole one- its so long and complicated and so oddly specific. I could dedicate a whole point to that task alone. But back to the point, his tasks are just so out of character if you compare them to everyone else’s.

BigBs character i feel is gonna be so crucial to the future of secret life. I’m excited for future sessions, and so so curious to figure out how BigB ties into everything. I have my own ideas (hes gonna go a bit crazy/manic when red) but thats for another day. So many characters are so so interesting and im just really excited.

A lil info about my “Secret Life ep _ being unhinged” videos

I am intentionally avoiding some of the most memes upon moments because tumblr has a ~3 minute video limit (at least for me) and I want to show off some clips that get less attention

There is no rhyme or reason to when these videos are posted, it’s just whenever I finish them and tumblr feels like being functional

I am but one man, I cannot watch every pov and even if I get close I am not able to reasonably collect clips from every cc. I started collecting clips as I watch the episodes around session four, but for episodes prior I am collecting clips as I go back through and watch povs I’m excited about but hadn’t gotten to earlier. Regardless, the povs featured in each compilation will fluctuate a little bit, but some (namely Skizz, Cleo, and Bigb) will nearly always be present

[emmaem111]

*Double Life spoilers*

Okay so, I just finished watching the Double Life series (from Grian’s POV,) and I binged what was essentially the entire thing in one sitting because I took a break from watching Grian cause I was busy watching Better Call Saul and couldn’t handle too much excitement coming from multiple directions

And Jesus. Christ. I seriously gotta just dump all my emotions somewhere, cause I have no one I talk to who shares my interests so why not here? I don’t even normally do this lol, I usually just post my art with a small rant and that’s that. Doesn’t even matter if no one looks at this, I just need to vent somewhere and it’s 3 AM omg

How is it that there were so many parallels and foreshadowing in an unscripted series from one person’s POV alone??? Like that’s actually insane.

Like Grian dropping that stalagmite on Scar in episode 1 to show him they were soulmates? Then he proceeds to accidentally, indirectly kill his secret soulmate using a perfectly timed stalagmite???? Which that was such a cool kill btw like wow my heart could barely handle it

Then Grian telling Scar off for going into the Deep Dark saying it was “off limits” to him. And Grian proceeds to get himself, and by default Scar, killed in the Deep Dark????? Like the irony.

Not to mention the fact that the reason why Grian was killed was because he couldn’t get away in time thanks to those horrid two block high stairs. Like the same kind of stairs he originally made leading to the Deep Dark and defended saying he didn’t have the time to waste the session making the staircase better, so that whole death’s a double whammy

And I also read in a comment—although I didn’t watch Ren, BigB or Pearl’s POVs—that Pearl warned Ren and BigB about not walking into people’s bases and then they proceeded to get killed by the stalagmite in their own base.

And I’m sure I probably missed some stuff but my mind was just so all over the place that I probably forgot it or couldn’t connect dots—mostly due to the insanity that was episode 5—but I really just had to spill my thoughts somewhere.

Also Scar’s water bucket clutch was literally such a cool moment, him and Grian are definitely an S-tier duo.

God and then there’s the whole thing with how every Third Life season Grian’s destined to lose the one he loves and cares about (especially to his own hands) and Jimmy’s destined to be the first to lose his final life, canary in a coal mine and all that

This whole thing really makes me wanna do some art on it, even though I’m lazy lmao

I lowkey wanna learn how to animate and gain the energy to do so just so I can be able animate some of those moments from Double Life, and maybe the third life series as a whole. At the very least I’ve gotta gain the motivation to do some fanart of it all

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve gotta catch up on Hermitcraft content now. Thank god I did Double Life first, cause I’ve really gotta calm down lol

3rd life hunger games au!

It's the 175th Hunger games everybody, and boy does the capitol have a surprise for you. In honour of it being the 7th Quarter Quell, we have decided to choose 14 tributes from any district! They've been decided beforehand and announced individually at each district.

We also have some other fun additions to the game, but that's a secret for later. Let's just say that it took 3 attempts to absolutely kill this fantastic idea! Now onto the part i'm sure you're all waiting for... the Tributes!

In District 1, after the annual volunteer selection process, Skizzle has made it out on top. In a district known for producing strong tributes, he's sure to be one to watch.

In District 2, we have 2 tributes, both first picked - sadly no volunteers here everybody. Ren Dog and Martyn Littlewood look like a formidable duo with lady luck on their side.

In District 3, another pair! Impulse and Tango might be leading their district to their first victory in 20 years. With technical skills in their belts, who know what they'll do.

District 4 has Etho Slab - a lone contender, but don't let that make you underestimate him. A strong young man with an intelligent mind to match. He's one to watch for sure - an easy bet for you gamblers out there!

District 5 with a duo - BdoubleO and Jo- oh wait- we have a surprise volunteer. Cleo has volunteered to join the games in place of her friend. How sweet! Well that sure has added another layer of excitement to the games.

In District 6 we have another lone tribute! BigB is already acting like a victor, calmly accepting his place in the games - that's what we love to see in the capitol!

District 7's tribute Scar is already shaping up to be a real contender this games. Already playing the crowd, he's sure to be a fan favourite.

We had quite an unprecedented time in District 8. With technically 1 volunteer, but both names picked competing in the games, Scott and Jimmy have had a stroke of luck - it's not everyday you volunteer only to have your name read out next!

District 10 had Joel chosen as their representative this games. Maybe he'll finally be the one to break their unlucky streak of having some of the first tributes to die?

Finally the last tribute is District 11's Grian! Whilst he may seem.. unthreatening at the moment, we have had some victors over the years come from no where to completely dominate the games! You'll have to tune in to see how it goes.

Sadly, no tributes were chosen from districts 9 and 12, but they will have their chance for glory next year! Don't forget to tune in everyday to watch the event - I can already tell this one won't be one to forget..

[evil-gender]

i’m watching ren’s episode 3 of double life (told you i’m behind) and genuinely this is so funny cause when i watched pearl’s i was like “oh nooo bigb ditched ren for grian” but no the conversation they had about bigb’s secret admirer was like. relatively chill and not “i’m leaving you” and then ren got dramatic and lore-y about pearl. who isn’t even the actual secret admirer. it’s so fucking funny.

[riacte]

The storyline I’m glimpsing from my dream is:

False is either a newcomer who was added in spontaneously or her supposed partner dropped out, causing her to be the only one without a soulbound. Seeing this, at the first session, Ren’s like “:D what’s cracking Falsie!! I’m experienced in the Life series, you can rely on me and we can be allies!! :D” So False goes with Ren, they set up a base, Ren basically tells her shit will go down really fast once reds start to appear and warns her. Meanwhile, Martyn speedruns his divorce arc by teaming up with Pearl like in canon. Big B wanders around the server until he finds Ren, and they’re like “omg we’re soulbound!! <3”, but then Big B sees False beside Ren and he’s like “wait”. Ren tells Big B that he’s recruited False because he knows she’ll be a strong ally to RenB and Big B’s fine with that.

Second session. False’s like “alright I had fun with you guys, I’m going off to explore!”. Ren goes “🥺 you’re LEAVING us?? How dare you??” but 0.2 seconds later he tells her that she’s always welcome at Box. False wanders around and comes across a solo girlboss like her— Pearl. Pearl wants to be friends with False, and False is like “yeah”, but secretly she thinks Pearl is a little insane lol. Then she comes across Martyn, another solo girlboss. Both of them are like “FINALLY, a loner who isn’t insane like Pearl” and instantly bond. As two survivalists, they think the other is going to be useful, so they keep each other around. They go around the server to meet people, with Martyn nudging False in the right directions to help her fit in with the vibe of the server. (Also I think Cleo sees False at one point and she bitches about Martyn, False just nods along.) Martyn also kills Cleo during the trust fall.

Then Pearl accidentally kills RenB, Big B gets his bread from Grian, an insecure Ren wanders to the Deep Dark and inevitably finds Martyn. Ren suggests they ally with Pearl because she’s the demoness, but Martyn thinks she’s too unstable and won’t accept them. They look at each other and wonder who else is gonna be a strong ally that they both have ties with— of course it’s False. Presumably False has been going around and EVERYONE wants her to be with them, she gives no promises. False accepts the alliance with Renchanting duo, and while she’s not technically aligned, she does feel closer to the two who approached her in the first 2 sessions.

As Ren said, shit starts going down really fast once people start turning red. Martyn and Cleo decide to separate for their own safety, with Cleo and Scott protecting each other while Martyn has Ren and False. Big B’s not too thrilled with Ren’s “cheating” but it’s not like he can say anything because he has Grian as his secret soulmate. So it’s a really weird polycule and RenB are just glad for each other’s secret soulmates since they have more resources now. Cleo gets Martyn killed, so they’re red now and even. Dogwarts 2.0 plus False, which consists of yellow RenB, red Martyn, and red False is now under attack by… whoever. It’s probably either SmallEtho or Desert Duo. Team Ranch is sadly out, divorce trio is more inclined to help Box Gang, Bdubs and Impulse are just… hanging out.

So the two reds permadie, and RenB are down to red. Ren, who is furious upon seeing his blondies die, pulls a Red Winter and goes absolutely batshit. Martyn and False, now as ghosts, casually watch the battle. Also Martyn thinks RK is hot. This goes on for a while then they break out of character, with Martyn asking False how it’s like to be a part of Double Life, and False thanks the gang for welcoming her (while RK and BigB are wrecking shit in the background, you love to see it).

So yeah 🥺 but dreams are just dreams…

Bruh I just dreamed False was in DL 😭

I spent the entire time thinking “who tf is her soulbound????” and counted everyone off except for her. I thought it was Pearl bc girlies gotta stick together but nah, and apparently she had a base for the first two sessions with Ren (also not soulbound) before going their separate ways (I think she ditched him lmao??).

And then Martyn and False both permadied at the same time, and ghost Martyn witnessed Ren going red and putting on his RK persona again and was so excited like “omg yass RK is so hot I wanna kiss him 😳” and I was like “HELP??”.

Ghost Martyn and ghost False (presumably not soulbound despite dying at the same time) then proceeded to chat for a bit, with viewers noting that Martyn was one of the players who went out of his way to make False comfortable with the scenario since she’s the only new player, and at the same time the Yass RK was presumably going all bloodlusty and killing people in the background.

So I woke up disappointed lol 😃
