As I was busy drawing other things during Limited Life, I never got to put in my piece for how to classify Martyn within the “sun, moon, and stars” victor analogy. 

My suggestion is that keeping an analogy *clearly* meant for a group of three and trying to add a fourth thing that fits just as well was never going to work, and so I decided to do something else.

So here is my submission: I made them a time cycle, representing Day, Dusk, Night, and Dawn.

My reasoning is that the aesthetic works well, which is kind of all the reasoning we had for the sun, moon, stars analogy. Do with it what you will lmao, but the painting looks nice.

The Star of Last Life

I haven’t inked my Scott design before, so this was a fun exploration!

Did anybody else notice that in Last Life the only 2 LGBTQIA+ YouTubers were also the only ones who got paired with the opposite gender? By pure chance the only 2 gay/bi people and their soul-bounds were the only ones NOT "soul mates" with the same gender! (Scott was soul-bound to Pearl and Cleo was soul-bound to Martyn).

According to the math I did badly as quickly as possible and didn't check in any way whatsoever, there was a 7.05% chance of this happening!

:O Oh my StarClan the randomizer is homophobic /j

Every life series summarized:

Third Life: What if gay people went to war?

Last Life: What if gay people betrayed each other?

Double Life: The worlds messiest divorce leads to a woman going on a murder spree because she found out her state assigned boyfriend was gay. also in the background, toxic yaoi between an eldritch demigod and his government mandated therapist.

Limited Life: Found Family. Also local fish and demon are SHOCKED when the man famous for constantly plotting to betray and kill his allies in order to win betrays and kills them in order to win

Secret Life: God comes down from the heavens because it decided that what these idiots needed was MORE yes-and, and then sticks around to bully a man about having no friends.

Real Life: The debatably cannon april fools episode where you can watch people get extreme nausea and learn what its like to be short.

Introducing: The Life Series Comment-a-thon

In light of several of the content creators involved mentioning negative comments on Wild Life, Secret Life, and Life Series videos in general, I want to suggest an event that encourages people to leave positive comments on life series videos as well!

The life series has some of the kindest and most supportive people I have ever encountered in fandom, and I think the creative minds behind the series deserve to get some of that love too. There is no starting or finishing day to this event, as the intention is for fans to leave kind comments highlighting what they love about Wild Life and the Life Series in general, over the course of the current season. I have devised a total of eight weekly comment prompts, making an educated guess as to how long the season will be based off previous season, intended to encourage you to leave a comment on at least one video per week.

There is no time limit or minimum word count for comments. Just be kind, be honest, and don’t tear other creators down in the process of trying to build others up (“[X creator] is so overrated, people should be watching you instead”, “you deserved to win so much more than [Y creator]”, etc.). Without further ado, The Life Series Comment-a-thon:

Week 1: comment on at least one video telling the creator that you liked the video!

Week 2: pick a team/alliance, then tell at least one person in that alliance that you are really enjoying the dynamic of their team/them collaborating with the other member(s) of the team.

Week 3: tell a new member or one who skipped one or more seasons (Gem who joined last season, Ren, Mumbo, Lizzie, Skizz, and Bdubs who all either missed or did not originally post their POVs of a season) that you are happy they are on the life series.

Week 4: Most of the creators involved in the life series are male, but we know that those who are not get a larger share of the negative comments. This week pick one of them (Lizzie, Pearl, Gem, and Cleo) and tell them that you enjoy their video/their content/etc!

Week 5: leave a comment on someone’s video mentioning at least one specific thing you enjoyed about their episode/their season.

Week 6: pick a person whose videos you have not yet commented on in this event and leave them a comment saying you look forward to their episodes every week/season.

Week 7: write a short, positive comment (e.g “I loved this episode” , “this was great” , “keep up the good work”) and leave it on every POV you watch this week.

Week 8: leave a comment on someone’s video mentioning at least three specific thing you enjoyed about their episode/their season. Alternatively pick three videos to leave one specific compliment on.

Week 9+: repeat one of the previous week prompts, or better yet combine two or more! You can pick yourself, use an eight-sided die, or a random number generator to decide for you.

I know commenting can be scary and that it can be hard to find the words. At the end of the post, beneath the the read-more cut, I have a list of suggestions for what you can bring up in a comment. Just below this you will also find a list of things you can do to let the content creators know that you love their art that are not commenting!

Other things you can do:

Like ten comments on a lifer’s video

Like every video you watch

Watch a video from one of the less popular content creators (subscriber wise, or within the fandom) on the day it comes out

And most importantly:

Reblog this post and/or repost it to other social media platforms to spread the word of the comment-a-thon!

A list of questions to spark comment ideas:

Did a joke make you laugh?

Did you catch them making a reference to another season, SMP, or piece of media?

Did the creator interact with someone in a way you enjoyed?

What made the interaction stand out?

Did they build something you thought was pretty?

What part did you like best: the shape, the blocks they chose to use, how it ties into their season, or how it ties into the terrain around it?

If they have a new skin, what is your favourite part of it?

Did they use background music in a way you thought was especially fitting? In what way?

Did a change from one scene to the next feel very well-timed, smooth, or narratively fitting?

If you did not notice any scene changes or cuts, can you think of something the creator did to make you feel immersed in the story of the video instead of the video making itself?

What do you hope happens next? (be sure to tell them that whether it happens or not you still look forward to watching the rest of their season)

Did something surprise you?

Did the content creator say or do something that made you have a new idea?

Did you learn something new about minecraft?

“Until Next Time”

[lolli-popples]

Wip update, I finished sketching and the flats, and started rendering. Currently Martyn and Scott are done for this phase, and Grian is halfway done. 

I’m updating because I wanted to share my frustration that MY PEN BROKE. BUT NOT LIKE FULLY, ITS JUST ANNOYING TO USE NOW I CAN’T USE ANY PRESSURE WITHOUT THE TIP BENDING IN HALF. This is a problem because I am king of heavy-handed drawing. 

So, a lot of this rendering was done through pain and suffering, as after drawing Scott is when the stylus broke, because apparently my stylus has a personal and specific disrespect for Martyn, and refused to render more that .2 percent of his section of the drawing before snapping. 

Anyway, I have now dropped around 100 dollars on a new stylus, and the only thing I have to blame is my own heavy-handedness and my art supply’s personal vendetta against Martyn Inthelittlewood.

But enjoy the WIP.
