Literally just realized I haven't followed you on Tumblr until now ANYWAY Sir Inthelittlewood AKA Martyn, I have an important question.....would you. As a Crocs user. Ever put those silly little headlight charms on your iconic Crocs

I legit have some of these 😂 so my crocs are strictly for taking out the bins and that's it, so they help on dark nights ha - Netty got them for me one Christmas.

How I think each life series members would glue a piece of paper:

This is correct I stand by this theory

[orangeocelotmartyn]

Martyn: "Need a divorce quartet team for MCC just once." I--that'd be pretty fun, to be fair. I feel like that would be pretty good. I feel like that'd be a pretty balanced team. Cause like, Pearl's like a proper sharpshooter with a bow, Scott's obviously got tons of event experience, I have as well, um, and then we've got Cleo who's good with comms and--you can get involved with a scrap as well, for sure. I think that'd be a great team. It'd be a good laugh. I think we'd just be fucking ribbing each other, the whole time. We'd just be, uh, we'd just be--taking the piss out of one another. Or maybe that would just be me and Cleo. Although Scott--me, me and Scott rib each other a lot. Me and Scott, take the mickey out of each other loads. Umm, let's see--let's do a little bit of Parkour Warrior. Cause if nothing else is going to give my wrist repetitive strain it's jumping.

Martyn: "I love gimmick teams so much." Yeah, I do. That's the thing, like. All I ever wanted was to win one MCC, and now I just don't care. Like, I just-it's just genuinely like, an honor, or a pleasure, to like, play in MCCs? Um, it's good. "I'm being (laughs) much nicer to Pearl these days." Nice. That's good. That's funny. Whoop, through we are--

3rd Life Designs

Limited Life Designs Here!

Outfit designs for the 3rd Life players! These were very fun to think about and make!

The general theme and vibe I tried to stick with was generic high fantasy and Game of Thrones as that was the atmosphere I got from watching 3rd Life and interacting with fanart.

In order we have:

Desert Duo (Grian and Scar)

Flower Husbands/Hobbits (Scott and Jimmy) plus Joel

Crastle Alliance (Cleo, Bdubs, Impulse and Tango)

Dogwarts (Ren, Martyn, Etho, BigB and Skizz)

(Design detail ramble below)

Design Notes:

Starting with a general overview, I tried to keep everyone’s 3rd Life designs closer to their original/default skins because this was the first season of the Life Series. So a lot of the colours used stick closely to everyone’s default skins colour palettes

Now onto specifics

Every Grian design I make will have his red jumper in there somehow, but for 3rd Life I changed it to a red poncho with embroidery because he would absolutely boil in the desert if he wore his jumper

Jokes aside, he has boxer wraps around his hands to just hint at the finale duel in the cactus ring

Scar’s hat has Grian’s feathers on it as decoration, just to tie the two together more

His wheelchair and crutch also feature the colours of Pizza (the llama) and their banner

Scott and Jimmy had the most drastic design change because I had a very specific vision for their designs as I wanted to lean into a cozy and homely design for both of them

So therefore both have a lot of patchwork elements in their designs

Scott’s cloak is meant to look both quilted and patched together

Jimmy doesn’t have any canary features here because in my headcanon, he gains his feathers after his first death in 3rd life and after his second death, his ears fully morph into the canary wings I usually draw him with. He gains his back wings after his final death so he wakes up in Last Life suddenly with wings

Jimmy’s design is the most drastically different because I don’t want to draw him in his superhero skin, but I tried to keep elements of it with the large patchwork S

Joel’s design is meant to be a cross between a generic fairytale huntsman and a witch, I wanted him to feel like a “mysterious man in the woods” because he operated solo in 3rd Life and had a bunch of wolves

Cleo and Bdubs are meant to look like scrap collectors who are also knights, I gave Bdubs plant elements in his design to match him with Cleo

Impulse is meant to be wearing a lot of leather and the capital “I” on his default skin is represented by the sun-ray like patterns on the cloak

I wanted to Tango to look like a blacksmith/engineer because he made “Dare To Flare” in 3rd Life, I also gave him battered dragonfly wings to suggest that he’s some kind of fae creature in this season

Dogwarts time! Ren and Martyn are both in very Tudor era inspired clothes because I think that time period’s clothes fit their theme in 3rd Life

Etho is meant to be an oni here and I wanted him to have a very samurai inspired design, the character on his chest plate translates to “dog” in order to link him to “Dogwarts”

Both BigB and Skizz are meant to be very soldier like with their designs

BigB has some cookie elements and Skizz has a lot of angel elements, they both wear the Dogwarts banner around their waist just to link the Dogwarts group together

Martyn: It is-it is not lost on me how privileged my position is. And not to say privileged as in like, it’s just been handed to me. Like, I absolutely worked hard, I, y’know. I put out some—a good product into the world. It does take…an open mind and receptiveness from people to-to want to watch the content, you know what I mean? And especially for something like this as well, like the card game—oop, ah, fucked it. Nevermind. Uhm. You know, this is—this goes above and beyond any, you know, realistic expectations that I have of anybody in terms of support. Same with the plushie as well. The plushie is one of those things. Um, that, you know, seems almost silly to me. But I’m very pleased that a lot of people have decided to— to nab one.

Martyn: “And we could take that all away—“ you can, dude. Because, (quoting) “Cancel culture is like a witch hunt.” (Pause, then as if quoting chat) “He did an impression, crazy, he spoke about the thing, crazy—(laughs)”

[izelthewashbear]

Screw this, yet again instead of studying for an exam I have tomorrow (Lord have mercy upon my gay soul) I'll be dissecting my favorite blorbo because why not. I can't stop thinking about one thing.

Today was probably the first time I've watched an entire Rats SMP stream - I was watching Ren goof off with his lieutenant for two hours and it was amazing. Seeing them having absolutely no idea how to play checkers was so funny. But what Martyn said at a certain point instantly flipped my view of him.

He basically said that he's not good at card games and overall strategy games, including checkers. That he has a hard time thinking three steps ahead and only focuses on what's here and now. At first I was like "wait a second, but you're the strategy guy"- Is he? It was only then that it hit me that seeing him as a strategist was kinda wrong.

Let's take 3rd Life as an example. I always saw him as this guy who'd make strategies that Dogwarts would utilize. And to some extent, yeah, maybe- but let's think about his first death in the series. He was so adamant, so headstrong about getting the Dogwarts banner back that he basically chased Scar around the whole server. Without a plan, without even a good reason. And what happened when he finally got the banner back? He basically had to plan on how to return to Dogwarts, which led to him going down and being killed by a skeleton. And I'm sure that if I wasn't trying to stare at my exam notes right now, I'd think of many other examples. Such as, him accidentally killing Cleo in Double Life. Or him trying to do a mass Boogie kill in Limited Life and that going horribly wrong.

What that one moment of these gay rats playing checkers made me realize is that his primary role is not a strategist. He has a basic idea of a plan - but the thing he's good at is basically improvising every step on the fly. This guy can do a 30 minutes long improvised roleplay of pretending to be a demon and almost not lose the lore in the meantime. He cannot stick to a singular plan, instead coming up with solutions to problems as they come and go. He may not be the best at planning, but he can notice little opportunities and take them as they come. He has basic ideas for his lore, and he utilizes them whenever he notices an opportunity. He may have planned to betray Ren in 3rd Life, but ultimately did not end up doing it because of all the choices he made during the series. But the moment there was a perfect poetic opportunity to betray his Mean Gill, he grabbed it and sunk his teeth into it.

I guess he really is the manifestation of 'fuck around and find out'

And now back to studying, wish me luck 🫡
