#Skizz Vision

[yusakiiiii]

Do you identify as an EthoGirl?

Well I do. So I thought for Pride Month I would make a Pride Flag for the EthoGirls out there to use. So here you go:

If you are a GemBoy I will get you a complementary flag as soon as Skizz reveals what Gem looks like to him in a future Guess that Build.

poor little guy just needs some help with his redstone :[[

As a starving MumMan shipper, I really said, "Fine, I'll do it myself", lmao hope you guys enjoyed the art!

Their song should be Uptown Girl by Billy Joel 👀

37. GUY.EXE — Superfruit

Okay so this song started as a joke, because I wasn’t originally going to have Skizz be an android; I thought it would be really funny if this Normal Guy was just always surrounded by his robot besties and the Perpetual Odd Guy Out. But, the more I listened to this song, the more I realized how much funnier it would be if the narrative/this song was basically “Doc, Impulse, Tango, Etho, and Mumbo all set out to create the ~perfect android~ together but are ridiculously silly and gay about it, and also the perfect android ends up being Skizz, and also also the design elements suggested by our fellow hermits here are uh. Not indicative of anything at all. Nope!” And the concept was just way too fun not to run with :]

Again with this one, you really won’t get the vibes here unless you know or listen to the song— the second shot is actually a redraw from the music video, so kudos if you got that reference LMAO I was SO hoping someone would request this number, so thank you joi >:D Incredible opportunity for me to draw these guys with ridiculous poses and expressions alongside finally getting to share Skizz’s spectacular origin story <3

I think its incredibly underappriciated how c!impulse is literally (in my head) a demon and c!skizz is an angel. Like come on. They're literally polar opposites, born to be enemies yet somehow made an unlikely friendship.

[mumbeau]

would benefit from learning he is a system: skizz

would get worse from learning he is a system: grian

In the next life series Joel, Skizz and Impulse should team up and call themselves the Drummers

cubitos are the texture of those big pink rectangular erasers send tweet

@girljimmyenjoyer need you to peer review this i think

[fogwitchoftheevermore]

sorry, the thing that's really getting me is that bdubs didn't want to do it. despite the fact that 9/10, when confronted with the facts of the matter with him killing impulse, he chooses to deflect or gloss over it or whatever he can to not fully acknowledge the weight of it all and the weight of impulse's grudge against him (take the "what have i ever done to hurt sweet impulse" in liml). despite the fact that bdubs continuously refused to acknowledge that festering underside of their relationship, he knew that they were even. he knew that he killed impulse twice and that impulse killed him twice in liml and he knew that they were even. and now they're not. yes, impulse asked for it, yes, he doesn't care about it, but they were even, and now they're not.

i think my favorite part of the destruction of bread bridge is that literally no one knows why it was destroyed, not even the people who destroyed it

[thatnerdydino]

genuinely don't even have a proper explanation for this, it came to me like a vision from the divine

left to right:

Gordon - impulse

Dr Coomer - skizz

Bubby - tango

Tommy - bdubs

Benrey - cub (I was considering scar for a while)

Another random thought because we're failing to sleep once more (disorders...): Dwarf-Demon hybrid Impulse my beloved.

Demons are kinda magical beings that aren't grounded in realism, but do have certain things that kinda are (which I will not talk about because... reasons...). Dwarfs on the other hand are just a type of human that live deep underground, like the difference between homo sapien and neanderthal but they're small and live in caves.

This all results in short-ish demon-ish human-ish lad that absolutely can not see in daylight at all. He probably has specialized contacts/sunglasses but like he's pretty much nocturnal, which is already pretty normal for certain demon species.

Yes this is very elaborate Shortpulse propaganda <3 vwv

OH MY GOSH I THOUGHT I RESPONDED TO THIS

I AM LOOKING AT THIS SOOOO HARD this is exactly the type of content that is up my alley

[raticalshoez]

Funny observations (to me) that I noticed regarding the Life Series

Skizz is a naturally kind, trusting person who has faith in people, but doesn't ever let anyone treat him as a doormat or a pushover. Tango on the other hand is not a very trusting person who can easily pick out suspicious people, and is constantly on edge about who to trust, yet somehow is more likely to be a doormat or pushover than Skizz is???

Lizzie is the least whimsical woman (or rather, feminine presenting person) on this server. You may think that goes to Cleo for their sorta realist mindset and fear mongering status, or like Pearl because of her incredibly depressing lore, or Gem because she can be insane sometimes, but no it's Lizzie. All of them love cute things, but I think the other three fawn over cute things in endearing ways while Lizzie expresses her love very blunt and dry. In the best way possible, she is like the server's cranky old woman to me. Does anyone see my vision or do I sound insane.

People do not talk about or write enough about Jimmy's habit of talking real big and threatening things and sizing himself up to only immediately shoot himself down and run off terrified when challenged by something a bit too threatening or a bit too much for him to handle. It is one of my favorite character defining mannerisms of Jimmy because it's so funny to me. I love wholesome, golden retriever man, but he is also this and I don't see it nearly enough

In Secret Life, when Gem was giving Etho flack for not attacking Cleo during the boogeypocalypse, Bdubs immediately jumps in to defend him by saying "Well, I can't help but notice Scott's not dead yet either, Gem!" Like. Just a moment ago you were scolding him too. He cannot let Etho be in a negative situation for even one second....please get a grip girl he ain't devoted to you rn......you don't have to all that for him...

Etho gets called washed up the most in Limited Life and yet that is the season where he placed the highest and I think that is hilarious

IM IN LOVE W YOUR SKIZZ WAHH

I love the wing symbolism, it’s part of his jacket, right? I’d love to see the sketch colored maybe so I can tell exactly what ur vision is? I wanna draw him with it too!

yEAH I saw people drawing Angel Skizz fanart and I thought it would be funny if it wasn't the big wings that he usually has but instead replaced with a wing-shaped torn patches on his jacket hahaha It still works so I'm not complaining

See, the wild cards are NOT unbalanced. I reject that notion very very strongly. It's complete nonsense to me. If anything, the wild cards have so far all been extraordinarily fair and not biased towards players with any particular skillset. What is causing a massive difference in lives between players in something else entirely.

To start with, the first one? Obviously not biased to any particular skill.

The hunger? What, you're going to argue some players are better at eating than others? Better at resource management, maybe, but with the edible food changing at random all the time, I really don't see how anyone's skills gave them a leg up. Skill is a factor in surviving mobs, not the wild card: if anything, players with less skill could have used the various food-given buffs to their advantage in a fight with good planning.

The snails? There's no skill required to survive them. Nobody died from lack of skill. No particular fighting or parkour ability was needed to escape them.

So why is there such a drastic difference between players' ability to survive? It all comes down to their individual personalities, and how each of them tackles an unexpected problem being presented to them. Some of them panic, others remain calm. Many make the lethal mistake of trying to beat the wild card instead of using it, and that's when they die.

Many of the deaths in the third session happened because players were trying to find a way to trap or destroy the snails, instead of accepting and embracing the mechanic like they should. Once the initial shock wears off, it becomes abundantly clear that the wild cards are intended to be tools.

The size-changing had incredible potential in PVP and resource gathering, but it was just an intro: just a simple mechanic that was easy and quick to get a grasp of.

The food one gave players practically infinite options for making the game easier for themselves. You can fly. You can get all sorts of buffs. Grian himself even gives away the game when he tries to rally Mumbo and Skizz to use the various buffs for mining; that was probably his original intention for how the wild card should be used. Grian deliberately used this session for resource gathering; in fact, I'd say the second wild card encouraged players to gather as many resources as possible in the early game, because you don't know what will be useful on the next reroll (or for future wild cards).

The snails provided new ways to steal lives from players without engaging in pvp; that's why Grian immediately states killing via snail is allowed and encouraged, and even reveals he has his own ideas of how players should go about it. It's clearly part of why the drowning mechanic exists as well; you could drown another player's snail, or force them into having to save their snail from drowning and then dying to it, like what happened to BDubs.

However, some players, such as Tango and Impulse, are naturally the type to try and beat an unbeatable mechanic, and got hyper focused on experimenting to find ways to permanently beat their own snails, and became easy prey. You can't beat the wild card, but they couldn't help but try because that's who they are.

Meanwhile, some players think just as inventively, but from the opposite direction: rather than just wonder how to beat the mechanic, they think about how they can use it to their advantage: Etho (and Martyn) got closest to Grian's intention of the snails essentially being used as assassins. If anything, Etho's invisibility plan improved upon Grian's original vision. They still died due to being occasionally caught off guard, but fared better than those that got stuck on trying to get rid of the snails.

Lizzie, Cleo, Scott, Gem and Joel (and BigB, after his initial ambush death) of course all survived their snails by adapting to the wild card. The difference between them and Etho and Martyn is their lack of risk taking; while Etho and Martyn went running around in the Nether for assassination supplies, all of the still dark greens played really, really safe.

Meanwhile, some players, such as Skizz, Scar, and Jimmy, played it very unsafe, but failed to take advantage of how the snails were meant to be used, even when Grian was trying to spell it out for them, and struggled because of it.

TLDR: the wild cards are weapons and should be treated as such. Trying to circumvent them is what is killing the players so fast, not any inherent imbalance in the cards themselves. Every single one of the players* has equal opportunity to use the cards to their own advantage. It's just a question of whether someone will.

*besides Grian, who is not trying to win anyway

Most importantly, I’m glad the lifers are having fun, and Wild Life has been a blast so far.
