Day 524

More Hermitcraft x FMA AU because the brainrot dont stop

Major General Gem is Pearl's commanding officer and also a state alchemist herself, though she mainly does research. Her skills on the field are not to be underestimated though. While her specialization is in bioalchemy, her proficency with a gun and close combat is unparalleled. She used to be a military doctor during the war on Ishval and heard about the experiments with creating Philosopher stones there, which later led to her investigating Lab 5 and Marcoh's work with Pearl, Impulse, and Grian

I also had the idea of Pearl, maybe for a time during Ishval, for her official title changed to the Red Pearl Alchemist. idk if ill keep that idea but i think its cool

It occurred to me recently that almost all of my older Life Series art (think 3rd Life / Last Life) was more fantasy-leaning so I decided, for science, to try that more fantasy-leaning vibe for a Secret Life doodle. I also brought back the painterly leaning style because evidently I really like that for my more illustration based stuff. Also I used a different lineart brush which is an absolute vibe. AND I attempted a more color-based-storytelling-something-or-other which I've seen very well done recently especially in animation which I absolutely love. Basically I tried things with this one lol

Anyways. Random, very much spoiler free Secret Life doodle (it's literally not plot relevant at all it's just for the vibes lmao) of Gem and the Scotts that's less band inspired and more fantasy inspired and I'm kinda vibing with it. Enjoy :D

secret life gemini tay!!

[artsy-book]

also can I just say, I think gems latest video is the best evidence that she needs to be in the traffic series so badly. I want gem to come in and just go nuts on red, I know she can do it ^-^

Lifers x Crane Wives

I saw someone comment on a life series TikTok or something to try and pair all of the lifers to a crane wives song, without repeating songs. so obviously I spent an hour doing it

Grian—Tongues & Teeth (self explanatory if you’ve EVER heard this song)

Scar—Steady, Steady (this whole song is about how their partner is walking out but they still want to be “wild and free” which is just SO Scar coded)

Tango—Ancient History (he keeps teaming up with Skizz and I feel like this song vibes with that, it also just feels very Tango)

Skizz—Icarus (this man always gives himself up for his teammates I swear, and he fuels them to keep going. It also says “oh brother, brother” which feels like Skizz talking to any of his teammates to me)

Impulse—Allies or Enemies (Impulse has been very iffy on a lot of his alliances throughout the seasons, especially in third life and with the amount of playing all sides that man has done this songs feels right)

Cleo—The Glacier House (this. this is literally just her leaving Fairy Fort. The song is talking to/about her from probably Lizzie’s perspective, but like the last line is 100% as if Cleo was speaking)

Bdubs—Unraveling (Bdubs relies so heavily on his teammates, and when he doesn’t have that stability *cough* Etho *cough* he just kinda doesn’t know what to do so this song fits)

Mumbo—Keep You Safe (this man is by no means an aggressive/reckless player [see: Joel or Martyn] and he feels like he’s just here for the vibes and honestly? Love that for him. This song is about fear not keeping you safe and watching your friends run high risks, which just is very accurate to how Mumbo plays this series. I also feel like he could fit Rockslide when he goes red cause he goes from standstill to “drop dead sprint” in terms of aggression)

Lizzie—Shallow River/New Colors (Lizzie is the only one I put as two because both of these songs are just so fitting. Shallow river—“wasted all for the title, wasted all for the crown” reminds me of Lizzie trying to kill Scott and ending up dying herself instead. I also feel like parts of it could be dead Lizzie talking to Joel, the only person who is really mourning her. New Colors—“don't tell me that I can't, I need this“ and “I give up my air, to breathe” also feel very accurate with how she is trying so hard and just keeps failing )

Jimmy—Canary in a Coal Mine (no further context needed, we all know Timmy)

Scott—Little Soldiers (this is very flower husbands, but also just feels like Scott looking back on the last seasons including Pearl, Jimmy, Martyn, all his reluctant exes. Also this man is the watchers’ like least favorite person ever and this gives that vibe)

Pearl—Ribs (i changed this from New Discovery because Ribs is entirely about somewhat angrily protecting and helping yourself because nobody else would, and it really strikes me as Pearl with the some things having been good (Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss) and some being bad (divorce quartet))

BigB—Not the Ghost (this man is so incredibly odd, he just constantly feels like he is being haunted by the watchers and just going about his life, he is the human personification of gaslight and we love that for him)

Martyn—The Hand That Feeds (he HATES the watchers with every ounce of his being, and with Ren gone I think this guy’s only purpose is just to spite them)

Joel—Sleeping Giants (go listen to it. That’s all there is to it, it just feels very Joel-ish, this lad is absolutely fucking mental)

Ren—Once & for All (this song feels like war and being betrayed, and Ren has been betrayed so much so it just fits. I mean come on “my blood’s forever on your hands” tell me that isn’t 100% something Ren would say)

Gem—Show Your Fangs (Girlboss moment, we love Geminislay. This woman is not someone to be underestimated and this song very clearly says that so it’s very Gem in my head. She doesn’t have enough lore yet to make it angsty but ONE DAY)

Etho—Never Love An Anchor (I can’t explain it, this song just has Etho vibes. I mean “It’s a secret I keep tucked inside my chest” just seems very him, I can’t really tell you why)

[legally-allowed-to-slime]

“i guess she [gem] doesn’t want people to put her on a pedestal” YES pearl preach that. it really irked me for quite a while how people kept holding gem to insanely high expectations in terms of pvp and acting as if she had set them herself, when she was constantly very modest and never claimed to be the best pvper and had to keep batting off these claims. i’m glad she left behind the geminislay thing because frankly? it left a bad taste in my mouth after secret life and it also felt too much like reducing her to a 2d character of “woman who can fight”. like it was supposed to be just a fun little thing but it turned condescending pretty quick

[meelkiewee]

scar-grian-mumbo + shinyduo pickles lol

Now no one will believe me when I say I drew these some months ago when mumbo didn't modify his skin yet lol ;; who would have thought he wanted to be a dilf so bad? 🤷‍♀️

Pearl really activated the geminislay there. I also saw gem making a pickle friendship bracelet in one of her lives before mcc, hope she really gave it to pearl lol

Next on my agenda: ren and doc.

bye.

[tatertato]

hoping this reaches the right target audience lol- i was watching the return of the king (extended edition ofc) yesterday and was consumed by the violent urge to make scene redraws of a life series lord of the rings au!

it started when i realized how pippin coded jimmy solidarity is, and snowballed into joel as merry, grian as frodo, and mumbo as sam.

also etho is aragorn and cleo is the king (queen) of the dead

i made lizzie eowyn for the "my lady" line and the "my lady" line only and im not sorry lmao

bonus characters not pictured here:

scar as gandalf (he would be so incompetent it would be so funny)

scott as legolas (he's an elf, what else do i have to say)

martyn as gimli (mean gills mean gills mean gills - also martyn and gimli are both very funny)

pearl as galadriel (in place of a dark lord you would have a queen! not dark but beautiful and terrible as the dawn! treacherous as the sea! stronger than the foundations of the earth! all shall love me and despair!)

bdubs as theoden (horse lord, i mean, come on)

skizz and impulse as boromir and faramir (they're brothers your honorrrr)

ren as treebeard (i have literally no explanation for this. just. treebeard. ren is treebeard. that's it.)

i feel like gem should share eowyn with lizzie bc a) shes an ethogirl and b) i need "i am no man" from geminislay

feel free to draw any of these as i will not be. as fun as these were for color theory studies + forcing me to kind of make backgrounds, i am finished lol

bonus bonus: (fwhip can be eomer as a treat)

[cobblestone-butch]

Lots of thoughts on life series gem + etho character parallels/divergences because of this post:

from gem's video, etho is the only one not to question gem's flower gift. martyn immediately jumps down to eat it and ren encourages him, whereas lizzie accepts it but does question if this is a distraction from something going on. while bdubs says the flower will be vile poison and tango tells him to eat it, etho says he will keep it as his precious gift from gem. immediately and without question.

i think on some level etho would attribute gem's secret life success (3rd place in her first appearance!) to her ruthlessness (embodied in both pvp ability but also attitude) and maybe subconsciously wants to model his behaviour after that sort of thing. but while gem is not 'nice', she is kind. and she is kind without agenda or forethought, telling him that he's not a terrible person or a self-deprecating lizzie that she's not stupid. etho is in receipt of that kindness, and appreciates it, even if he doesn't yet realise how genuine and simultaneously necessary it is to her character.

i think wild life can probably be marked as etho's first attempt at forging his own reputation from the outset, rather than letting others define him (intimidating in 3l+ll, washed up in liml+sl) and actively considers his position in the game as important to his sense of self. this also parallels gem, who entered secret life with an amount of reputation as 'geminislay' but used her first appearance to try to forge her reputation in the way she wanted - she wanted to be just 'gem'. when she gives out flowers in wild life, she is again taking her reputation into her own hands but to different ends than etho.

at least in some measure, gem's kindness comes from a place of security of self - she doesn't doubt her ability and knows she can fight back if people overstep, so she can be kind without worrying that it will open the door to let people think they can walk all over her. etho is trying to emulate toughness but from a place of insecurity (viewing his 'niceness' as the reason he hasn't performed better) and it's why he struggles with staying tough when he is granted an amount of security from gem's gift. enter concluding thought here.

[paradoxicalli]

GIGS as phasmo ghosts

This is no original idea, but which ghost best fits the GIGS phasmo crew?

Grian

Demon. They can hunt whenever they want, regardless of external factors like sanity. Grian can and will bring potentially lethal chaos to any and all situations. (Also, pls consider Grimon) Alternative picks

Moroi, for their sanity draining abilities

Revenant, because they’re most deadly when they see you. Almost like they’re always watching

Honorble mention: Grioni, deogrian

Impulse

Not sure, first pick Phantom. He does the camera a lot, and he can’t be in the photo if he’s the one taking it. Also Phantompulse S8 our beloved Alternative picks

Spirit, purely for the irony of it. Ain’t no way this boy is the generic default ghoul. But consider Impulse’s love of smudge sticks, and a spirit’s intolerance.

Demon because Imp

Banshee, Skiz is the target. ImpulseSV ImpulseBanshee

Deogen, I just think he’d like it. Deos are fun, and he does sometimes meme people with a voice changer. (Deo spirit box)

Yokai on account of how many times he just straight up doesn’t hear Gem

Oni, since no one else knows what the deal is with the hiss. Onimpulse

Gem

Myling. They’re quiet, a bit sneaky, and deadly. You don’t know how screwed you are until you’re already facing Geminislay. Alternative picks

Yokai, because she WILL kill you if you don’t shut up

Shade, the very shy ghost, for when Gem stays in the van and doesn’t go see the other ghoulies.

Revenant. Slow, deliberate steps in time with Gem’s as she strolls through her calm cottage core village. But then she sees you and BOOM ya dead.

Hantu. Canada. Cold.

Honorable mention: GeminiThaye, Jinninitay, GemOnitay

Goodtimeswithscar (Scar)

Wraith. Consider a flying ghost wheelchair. That’s why he doesn’t step in salt. There’s also similarities in the wraiths teleportation ability and being Hot Guy’d. Alternative picks

Poltergeist. They’re known for throwing things around and general chaos. The item explosions happen when he hits things with his wheelchair. Poltergoodtimeswithscar

Banshee, because of the iconic *scared whimpering Scar noises* when running away from things

Mimic, their shifty and confounding tendencies cleanly mirror Scar’s sales tactics.

Honorable mentions: The goodTwinswithscar

Skizzelman:

Poltergeist. YEET. Just overall chaos, mostly just has polty vibes. Alternative picks

The Twins. Sometimes he’s quick sometimes he’s not. It’s anyone’s guess, and he certainly isn’t thinking about it.

Mare. In the absence of light, there is no color. Especially after guess the build, we’re all starting to think Skizz is color blind. SkizzelMare

Banshee, Impulse is the target.

Please let me know if you have any more ideas!

[the-great-witch-shelby]

Hi there! I am the witch of the Evermore, Shelby! The great witch Shelby, if you want a title. I’m not exactlyy an empress but I’ll help you with any problems you have! After all, what else is a resident witch for?

My really cool friends!:

@therealsheriff

The sheriff of tumble town, who, admittedly is, uhm… quite small for the job, but don’t tell him I said that! I think he’d sue me or something..

@gemofdawn

She’s the princess of dawn! Very intimidating, very strong, I mean… she didn’t get the nickname “geminislay” for nothing. She also has the most magnificent butterfly wings, I should really study them one day.

@totally-human-mayor

The mayor of critter city! She swears she’s human, though she exhibits some not very… human behaviours… but hey, it’s not my place to say, sooo…

@fwhipunderthefloorboards

This silly little guy!! Fwip, the, uh… I don’t know, ruler? Of the goblin empire. Again, quite small, but at least he doesn’t seem to mind it. I… accidentally gave him really big ears one time, but we are not gonna talk about that! I swear my magic is better now! Promise!

@princess-of-glimmergrove

The awesome princess of glimmer grove! She’s strong and powerful and drop-dead gorgeous and she’s basically amazing at everything. But, uh I- I’m getting ahead of myself, sorry. Basically, Katherine is awesome and very sweet and you should definitely go check her out!

@im-to-dye-for

Scott! He’s very cool. Absolutely loves colours (and a certain sherif) and literally the sassiest man you’ll ever meet. He has not been giving me dating advice, what are you talking about.

//OOC//

I AM NOT ACTUALLY SHELBY!!

I’m just someone who loves her S2 character like A LOT and rlly wanted some nature wives content, alr? Coolio? Good. Also no asking NSFW asks or anything that’s just… weird, especially for a RP blog so keep it PG, or yk, as PG as it gets on empires lmao.

Also, CW for empiresshipping, mostly nature wives 🌻

I have no idea who etho slab is, but I assume he’s a wet cat of a man who tries his best to play Minecraft and fails miserably.

etho s. lab has been a minecraft youtuber since 2010 and is famed for pioneering many technical achievements in minecraft’s logic-based in-game coding system (redstone) that have become ubiquitous such as the etho hopper clock (which he just calls the hopper clock). many other minecraft youtubers (bdoubleo100 and docm77 to name just two) call him one of the best if not THE best minecraft youtuber out there. he has a reputation for being incredibly deadly in-game due to participating in multiple seasons of a pvp game mode called UltraHardcore (UHC) and making it to the final two or winning several times.

however

minecraft is a game that adds new content regularly and changes game mechanics every now and then, and the pvp system has evolved over time. now my man, my good time boy, mr. etho slab was out of the pvp game for a little while, and jumped back into a series people around here call the “life series” “life smp” “traffic series” or “traffic smp”, named after the life system implemented on this minecraft server. basically, you have a limited number of lives which is denoted by the color of your in-game name (green, yellow, and red). the current iteration of this series is called limited life because the players have a limited amount of time to be “alive”. you gain time by killing others, and you lose time if you die.

etho has not been doing well in this game. he has died so many times. he died so many times in the most recent session that he claimed “audio corruption issues” and didn’t upload his perspective. he is also roleplaying being a somewhat absent father to his in-game children (other players in the game) and has been told by his in-game ex-wife he isn’t even succeeding at that. a running bit that he stated himself is that he’s “washed up” and the fandom has taken that and sprinted with it.

and that’s not even mentioning the 1v1 pvp with geminitay (aka geminislay) where he killed her i think twice and she killed him 28 times. or the fact that he plays without a mousepad. or the audio capture setup that baffles everyone.

he’s our favorite guy, he is actually incredibly good at minecraft, but right now he’s a bit washed up. pathetic wet cat so true so correct

[justathingfromthebrainvoid]

Okay so Gem throughout Secret Life (and also the one episode in Limited Life) has been so fascinating for several reasons. (hello i'm back, yes this is the brain rotates the gem post, welcome.)

so first off everyone is fairly Aware of her pvp prowess, GeminiSlay is a name they know. So for the most part, no one tries to fight her. She's brought down by fighting blazes & an enderman, the red horde going after everyone (them fighting back) and eventually Scar's bow, and then by and large Grian's tnt minecarts before Pearl and Scar together kill her in a 2 v 1 fight (that for the 1st part mostly-ish bows, something she isn't quite as good at). People talk about how they don't want to fight Gem. Not unless they have to.

This affords her a level of safety. If they're scared of fighting you, they don't go after you.

And then she's the New person. She's the only New Person. She's cheery and happy even as she goes on her murdering sprees. Even Lizzie and Mumbo, not back since Last Life, have a different edge to them and then they're out so quickly they don't reach the line where the server goes into murder and betrayal. Cleo says it in the last session: Gem doesn't know what is about to happen.

And she doesn't. Not in the way everyone else does. It is a murder game, and Gem treats it as such, but she doesn't get the weight of what happens in those last sessions.

She loses her first life and is mildly bloodthirsty, she opens the end, sends in greens in hopes of getting more yellows, she gets a task that says kill every non red at least once and does so without hesitance, she turns red, succeeds 5 red tasks in her next episode and gets her two teammates to sacrifice themselves to her along with killing Pearl, and she smiles throughout the entire thing.

When the last session starts she's happy, ready to go out and murder some more people, and sure it's a bit "erie" and "quiet", but she's having a great time on the murder camel, looking for Skizz, figuring out how they can kill Etho/Cleo/Grian.

The other players Know what's about to happen, and she doesn't. Scott stays with her almost the entire episode. He knows what's going to happen. He already decided how he's going to die.

And then they come back from the Nether and Gem loses about 30 of her hearts, she panics slightly and a bit more when she finds Grian behind a wall (alone and down a bunch of hearts her first thought is run), but she goes back to the fight, kills Grian herself, and, oh, it's only them and the mounders left, time for the last battle apparently. She tries getting her murder buddy on their side again but Pearl refuses and it's not like she's leaving the Scotts, so they shoot arrows and run around the server a bit before retreating up the stairs back to their base. Pearl shoots her, Impulse dies, and Gem is starting to think they are going to as well (it's fine, that's what the game's about), but Bdubs and Joel are killed pretty easily and then she and Scott are running again (run, shoot, run again, why'd it have to be a bow fight?), there's a close call with Scar (it's fine, she gets away, where's Scott though?).

But I don't think she really gets it yet. Not until she joins back up with Scott and the first thing he says is "I need you to kill me. I've got 2.5 hearts, you need to kill me." And Scott throws items at her, food and an end crystal, and takes off his armour and Pearl and Scar aren't far behind...

Gem doesn't even get time to process. Pearl and Scar weren't far behind. She runs and fights and holds her own even in a 2v1, but it doesn't matter.

Gem is the new person. And she makes it all the way to 3rd, she's proud of that, should be proud of that. But she only thought of it as a fun murder game right up until Scott died. Sacrificed himself for her.

[plumadot]

I'd love to hear any ideas about dnd Gem or Pearl if you have any!

Like. The most obvious thing would probably be some type of elf for Gem

But who else does she know? Does her time in Empires and HC play a role with her being able to dimension hop? Are normal little cottage core Gem and GeminiSlay just her being silly or is it magic related? I think this could make for a very cool backstory idk

Is Pearl the scarlet witch or does she just try to exist and keep her doggos safe? Well. Scarlet Pearl was also keeping her dogs safe but still

Imp and Skizz would be interesting too! They've known each other a long time irl, but would that carry? Is Imp a short little dwarf like s9?

(I'm such a newbie to dnd i love it but boy does it make my brain hurt when i try to learn more about how many races there are there's probably a whole lot better ones they could be than my little suggestions here fjhhf)

-🌿 (new anon hoping I'm not stealing another anons identity here hi)

hehe hi!!!!!

for gem i was thinking a faun hdbfvdhf there's an opportunity to give her pretty antlers so i will take it!!!! she also uses them to fight :)

this may be too inspired by hc10 but i was thinking she might know joel and etho from their shared pirating days. these days she hunts monsters on land with pearl :D i think she has pretty high charisma for a rogue and she uses it to catch any enemies off guard; pretending she's a sweet helpless girl only to stab them with many many daggers :D

pearl is slightly feral by nature and always preferred to spend time with wolves over people (until gem came along). i think it could be fun if there were fables about the scarlet witch as like a cryptid wandering and protecting the woods... when really she's just a druid :')

imp and skizz need to be besties in every universe it's so important. idk how they met but them maintaining their friendship with impulse being all settled at the crastle and skizz being an outlander would be interesting waaaa also i still haven't decided whether impulse should be a tiefling or dwarf aaaaaaaa help!!!!!!

there will always be other options but everyone's ideas are fun and valid so no worries hehe <3

(i don't believe anyone uses 🌿 yet so :D)

[synesthete-sylke]

ok so uh. men. and also geminislay

i wanted to do anatomy practice and pole dancing poses are hella cool so have some pole dancer scott, bdubs and gem

scott does it because he likes it and enjoys feeling attractive when he does it; he'd been doing in the longest out of the three

bdubs does it because he found out scott did it and thought it looked cool

and gem does it because it's a good workout and when scott found out she was learning he invited her to join him and bdubs during secret life
