While I will always vote for Lizzie and Grian to win every life series ever I am very excited for winner Big man. I just KNOW his watcher lore is gonna go so hard.

[mothofprophecy]

This will only make sense to the very small percentage of you who know both TMA and the life series but I present to you: distortion Grian

[raindropren]

Here's some uh, sketches :3

Literally her <3 >:3

I don't think Grian would wear his Sweater when living in a desert, ngl. :p

Some smaller, worse ones that I like more then the really bad ones but are also still kinda bad, lol :]

In order, Double Life Pearlo, A Regular Outfit/Mc Skin Gem, A silly doodle of Gem, and A 3rd life Grian

then, a Angy(?) DL Pearlo, the Final Death of Rendog and BigB in DL, Grian Explosion!, and Grian on Pizza!

I will draw Pearl and Gem together soon, I really wanna but I need to draw regular outfit/mc skin Pearl a bit cause i've like, only drawn my DL design of her recently LOL. Grian's here alot because he's a silly billy who i have fun drawing

[courtillyy]

[wherabouts-of-light]

i wish i was the kind of traffic life watcher to have the Desert Duo autism but i just have GGG autism

[fogwitchoftheevermore]

actually hold on there’s enough poll options for this.

every single soulmate pair in double life had some crazy twist of fate attached to them in some way. from teammates in past lives to people who’d never spoken but were perfect matches.

to be abundantly clear. this is not your Favorite. but the one that you look at and go “literally WHAT god put those two together”.

Ren feels his Q— the Shadow Lady’s presence before he sees her; there’s an aura of dread that precedes her and draws his attention. He frantically signals BigB to prepare for an incursion; hates the way his heart still leaps when he actually catches sight of her. He gets himself in a good defensive position, perched up on the roof. His bow is held loosely in his hand, not yet drawn; he doesn’t want her taking it as a threat, though he knows the odds of this encounter not ending in violence are low. BigB takes the position in front of the door, his sword out and ready. 

The first thing the Shadow Lady does is compliment Ren’s defenses, and all he can think is But they weren’t good enough. He doesn’t know if he means to keep her out or to keep her safe. Her voice is soft, friendly, and it frightens him— why does she still sound the same as she always did?

“I think you know why I’m here,” she says, and he dips his head in acknowledgement. The heady scent of vengeance is in the air, just as strong as the dread the Shadow Lady brought with her, and a part of him thinks he probably deserves it. The other part of him grits his teeth and swears he will fight until his last breath, because he wants to win.

And then she says, “But not you, Ren,” and he nearly loses his grip on his bow, and she says, “You were a loyal knight to me,” and he cannot breathe. 

His Queen has always been merciless, so why is she showing him mercy now? He drove her out of her own court, forswore his fealty, and she calls him loyal.

While he’s having this crisis, his Queen has turned her red-eyed gaze on BigB. “But you,” she says, and Ren should be drawing his bow, he should be preparing for the attack that he knows is imminent. 

And yet, he cannot bring himself to do it. He wants to move, he wants to help BigB— his ally, his brother in arms— but he swore. He swore he’d never lift a weapon against her and for all his faults Ren is a man of his word. 

Until the end of the server, he’d promised. And the server has not ended. 

Later, when he thinks back on it, he knows his Queen was even more merciful than she could have been. She still holds his name— even the rules of the game separating reds from the rest cannot override that pact. She could have made Ren kill BigB himself, letting him suffer the same fate of dying at the hands of an ally that had first set the Fairy Fort on the path to ruin. But she did not, and though Ren knows it was probably only his Queen’s red bloodlust, he is still grateful. 

And now he is alone in the Shadow Keep.

Since the ending of the season has been confirmed… and nobody new joined this season, it’s possible someone new is joining s10! So…

a serious alternative to the other poll. I think some of these have a pretty low chance of happening, but I chose options that are at least possible (i.e. the hermits know them). don’t take this too seriously, i’m just curious on what the fandom thinks is the most likely option

[klbzplb]

honestly still the biggest personal tragedy of session 5 is that when grian joined gem in the tower building. in gems episode, there were almost a solid 10 minutes of just that. them hanging out, calm, peaceful, no danger, away from people that could hurt them . and guess what ? grian left LESS THAN 3 MINUTES OF THAT IN HIS EPISODE dbjksffejw

[hcsfff]

I wanted to finish the next chapter of Everything Stays today but it really got away from me. It might take a couple more days.

But have a preview!

okay actually on the note of winners being watcher/watcher-detested (grian - watcher, scott - watchers hate him, pearl - fanon watcher, martyn - listener) i think either bigb or joel should win this season. for bigb, obviously he was part of nosy neighbors with pearl, and he was an evo member that wasn't stated to be disliked by the watchers, and also he so deserves a win <3 and then with joel he's not a watcher strictly speaking but he is, at the very least, liked by them because of how much bloodshed he provides. he just perpetuates the cycle and fuels the fire without even knowing about the watchers.

of course, other contenders could be argued (based on how much they satisfy the watchers' bloodthirst): jimmy, who is obviously HILARIOUS to them with his miserable, court jester-like experiences, could finally break his canary curse; scar, who was quite the loose cannon in the previous season, could finally avoid meeting another tragic end (which. his povs of other seasons are unrecognized in that aspect); geminislay, who can please step on me; and more!

so, as we are all trembling with excitement for friday, it's time for the big question:

no 'rb for sample size' just click a button on the poll, i want to see ur opinions :)

[eristarlight]

So, I redesigned this design for Wild Life

I decided to keep his tails and cape because you seemed to like it

But more from the BigB skin and what I liked about the works of other artists, they are all wonderful ^^

And I also really wanted to make BigB look less scary

Yes, he chose such an image for this season, but he remained the same sweet and wonderful, and sometimes I forget about how he looks from the outside

So here it is

[calciumyum]

My contribution to the fifth @trafficzine edition! It was so fun to work with a writer!! Check out @xmochilyx, they wrote a beautiful story that inspired this piece!! :D

Details and easter eggs under the cut!

My secret task was take photos and incorporate them into your drawing, so here are the photos that I took

And here's how I arranged them to make sure they can be incorporated well into my drawing!

Easter eggs:

Each alliance are positioned near each other (The Roommates, Big Dogs, Gem and The Scotts, The Heart Foundation, The mounders)

(in the sketch) Pearl is right across Scar because they were the last two to survive and also thematic parallels hehe

Everyone with their eye/s open have won a life game

Referring to the previous point, the way their eyes are opened match their Double Life soulmates (Scar-Grian are fully opened, Pearl-Scott only have one eye open, Cleo-Martyn only have one eye half-opened)

More Double Life easter eggs:

Scott and Cleo are both touching their faces the same way, since they're chosen soulmates

Jimmy and Tango are both in the corner

Skizz is punching Impulse because Bdub's skin looks beaten up

Etho is holding his own hand to match Joel's hand being held by Lizzy

BigB is next to Tango because Ren played as Tango for one session

Other Seasons easter eggs:

Nosy neighbors being next to each other (LimL)

Desert duo and Flower husbands are next to each other (3L)

Cleo next to Lizzy because Fairy fort yippee :3c (LL)

[courtillyy]

@ me ur supposed to be writing ur wild life ficlets !! what are you doing writing fucking superstore fanfiction

[salemoleander]

I am BARELY resisting going full red-strings-corkboard on this season. And by barely resisting I mean not resisting at all here is an extremely long list of the events those pins would be marking out.

BigB getting a Task that was a different color than everyone else's. It's not just a randomly assigned Hard Task, bc Scar rerolled for a Hard Task and his was also just a white envelope. It's fundamentally different.

That task taking BigB away from socialization, and seemingly being an incredibly time-consuming and dull request. Of profound disinterest to any watchers.

The phrasing of his Task!!

Dig a big hole. All the way down. At least 3x3. Make it your base if you want.

Everyone else's are direct and formal - the only one with more than one sentence was Skizz's, with the rule clarification of "One attempt only." Bigb's Task is four short abrupt sentences. It is also the only Task to contain extraneous information, 'Make it your base if you want.' The requirements (at least 3x3) feel like an afterthought to mimic the numerical/specific demands of the other tasks.

Evo symbol on the face of the Secret Keeper statue.

The fact that there's a statue at all; the fact that there is a physical representation of what is assigning tasks that everyone must complete, when previously everything was always handled via commands and unseen RNG.

Grian talking to the statue, and (bc of his Actual Role as game organizer) acting as a mediator for the impartial decisions handed down, speaking for it.

Grian making one last bad joke and saying he doesn't know if it counted or not- depends on whether we the audience laughed.

Grian asking for task recommendations from the audience. The watchers are making the tasks. The Watchers are making the tasks.

Again I could be off-base, and I'm not usually even that smitten with bringing in Evo lore. I don't want a Big Bad really...but. It feels like something very unusual and intentional and cool is happening in this series. And I'd guess we'll know if theres something going on once we have more than one data point.

My largely unfounded suspicion is that there is another being (maybe Listeners, maybe something else) trying to reach out to the Players via decoy Tasks, and BigB was the first recipient. Get them alone, make them of disinterest to the watchers, and tell them something we don't get to know.

Because that's the really, really fucking cool part (if my wacky theory is remotely right): We're the bad guys. We're the ones giving out tasks - hell, we're the ones actively brainstorming harder and crueller tasks in Grian's comments!

If they actually made a story where the Players have to keep secrets from us I will be delighted. Bc that is the same genius bullshit that made Evo Watcher lore so fun
