#canary curse

[catharina2003-ao3]

Before the wild life finale I briefly considered writing a fic about Jimmy helping people move on from their deaths as Canary, and realizing after Secret Life that it meant people could get stuck if he didn't help them move on (Lizzie hung around in the void)

Just now, I suddenly got the inspiration; what if that's why Skizz, Mumbo, and Martyn are able to come back as zombies??? Because they hang around until Jimmy's able to help them along.

I probably won't write it, but I figured I'd share the idea regardless

You guys remember Mumbo's Coal Miner's curse? That he was always dying right after Jimmy, no matter what? Well, I've got a continuation of that, now that Jimmy's curse is broken. In Secret Life, Lizzie was the one who set the canary free, rescuing him from his cage in the mines and allowing it to fly free. But without the Canary, the Coal Miner never got the warning that his life was in danger, so he died first this time. That way, Mumbo still has his curse, even if the canary is now free of his own

Quick ramble:

Jimmys curse (Canary Curse) is often referred to him as dying first, right?

But some people didn’t see him being out first as the curse but him dying in the first place.

Always, right after jimmy dies, chaos is unleashed. Doesn’t matter if it’s in the next session or not. Like, after his death, things get serious.

But this time in Wild Life it didn’t had that effect. Of course because jimmy didn’t die as early but also his death didn’t really made things ‚crazier‘, so the curse didn’t exactly apply.

In which I will hold my hand high and say:

„The curse didn’t work because Wild Life was Chaos right from the beginning, his curse couldn’t have changed anything! Yknow… the season being Wild Life and all.“

OH FUCK IT, CANARY CURSE X THE WIDOW CURSE

Jimmy and Grian are mortified. Everyone else is confused because it just looks like they are in love when its their damn curses forcing them together

So one of the most lore-indepth wildcards of Wild Life would be the superpowers that relates past seasons of the Life Series and acknowledges other series (eg. Hermitcraft and Evo) and their personal lore to attribute to each participant's power.

Starting alphabetically,

Bdubs power is essentially all related to time and his ability to manipulate the day cycle expentially. With the clock being his main motif across all Life Series, the ability to slow and speed time according to his will is easily solvable but with the inclusion of the Hermitcraft and Empires crossover event, his ability to speed time according to his sleep schedule becomes another layer deep. Besides the clock being a main symbol for Bdubs, the concept of sleep is another that has essentially been from the beginning of Hermitcraft. Always carrying a bed and sleeping whenever. The Empires crossover Bdubs was framed as a god of sorts of the Sun. Always bright and always there when the Sun remained as its brightest.

Bigb can summon creaking. He creaking. He is like a king or dimplomant to the players who invade their home and they view him as their kin so he has the responsibility and power to summon them.

Ethoslab based of Kakashi from Naruto is by definition a ninja. An escapee or fugitive at best. So with his ability to jump higher boosted by wind charges can be explained by his connection to the shonen series and the inclusion of the mace could be chalked up to typically stories of protagonists gaining resources or inventory to defeat the "Big Bad" or achieve some sort of goal that is to win the Life Series.

GeminiTay or GeminiSlay named by others intimidated by her, has slayed each participant brutally in the Life Series and on Hermitcraft rewarding her the reputation from her immense PvP skills. So with her power of astral projection, it acts retribution for the slayed to talk and apologise or instigate to those dead for her or others benefit.

GoodTimeWithScar is nortorious for being not PG friendly so the inclusion of one of his powers been the ability to ride people, it's self explanatory. Yet as Scar is commonly associated with and as a vex, his other powers of extreme knockback and thorns can be explained by the hostile and aggressivness of the mob.

Grian as essentially the grandmaster or orchestrator of the Life Series would have access to all the powers and mimic but not fully copy the others' powers. Yet because of his power chained by an omnipresent force, he's unable to fully copy the powers but imitate them for only short periods of time.

ImpulseSV and his teleportation powers could derive from his cyber-theme aesthetic for his Hermitcraft Season X base. With most series of fictions based around cyberpunk civilisations, technologies like teleporation and other advanced transportational devices are commonly utilsed. Resulting in Impulse's power of teleportation and the ability to swap the position of another with himself.

Martyn power is boosted hearing cause he's a Listener.

So Lizzie or LDShadowLady's inflicts blindless or a shadow upon the surrounding people in her radius and resulting her in temporary invisibility and blindess to others around her. But from her endless descent into the void in Secret Life, arises Lizzie with trails of the void clinging to grasp the light of the overworld. Causing the void remnants to spread to others and infect them with blindness in all for the hope to spread towards the light from the cold world of the End.

With the ability to fly, PearlescentMoon carries aesthetics relating to Greek mythology in both her powers and external design choices. As one of the Postmasters of Hermitcraft, Pearl is essentially the builder and additional redstone help of the trio for the postoffice and other aesthetic designs. Hermes the herald or messenger of the Olympus gods delievers messages to other celestial dieties and mortals similar to Pearl's jobs as a Postmaster. Other than the similar professions, both Pearl and Hermes wear a petasos which is essentially a wide-brimmed hat that is commoly adorned for shade and for Hermes, additional wings to the sides of the hat. Symbolising their shared ability to fly quickly and efficiently for a purpose.

As RentheDog is commonly interpreted as a dog-hybrid of sorts by the Hermitcraft and Life Series community, his ability to splice and copy the DNA of others to match their appearance could be an aftermath or positive side-effect from his hybrid mutation.

Similar to Ren, Scott has the capability to transform into any mob in sight and similar to Limited Life where he was depicted as a siren as part of the Mean Gills. His ability to shape-shift into any mob regardless if it's passive or aggressive could be similar to his mutliple origins from New Life SMP and Origin SMP and the reflect the changing nature of his powers.

So Joel with essentially triple jump could be hinting his slimely origins of his Shrek skin in the swamp. Where the swamp generally spawns slimes at a higher rate than other slime chunks and slime blocks harvested from the slimes can be used as jump boosts. Resulting in the triple jump.

After just breaking the Canary Curse two seasons ago, SolidarityGaming or Jimmy has the power to turn fully invisible until someone or something damages him. Ever since his debut to the Watchers back in Evo, Jimmy has been under constant surveillance by the Watchers as an object of their amusement. Always failing to reach even the finale and fumbling to keep alive. Yet when he broke the curse and relayed it too another, he was discarded. Seen invisible to the Watchers as he had become an object of boredom by reaching his resolution. So that's where his invisibility comes from.

Tango with his cowardly approach to things, has constantly ran away from situations but with this power, it supercharges his speed allowing him to become part of the fight and conflict instead of running away. And with his ability to frost-walk on ice, it could recall his Season 9's skin back when he was the Dungeon Master in Decked Out II and became an icy persona.

many thoughts. head loud. brilliant.

Let me tell you a story about the canary curse. Or, should I say, how it was broken. You already know the other part.

You see, in Secret Life, everyone had their secrets. There was a boy who wanted desperately to live — everyone knew that, it’s not really a secret. There was a girl who stopped breathing years ago — no one thought about it. Even if it was as obvious. So, what if they crossed paths? What if something happened?

She knew how to come back from the grave, of course she knew. She made him a funeral he never saw before, because he was always the first dead. She took his hand and put him in a coffin, she poured the soil and made everyone say their goodbyes. They were laughing at him. Not feeling sorrow, anything at all, really. And for a moment, a one moment in between breaths in and out, being scared, lonely and despaired, his heart skipped. one. beat.

And he was dead. For this moment, he died first — just like every other time, just as he should. But then, his friend got him out. And he saw the light. And he was alive.

System snapped. By trying to change everything as it was, it was only getting worse. The system looked in the eyes of the Dead, the most alive out of everyone, and at the bird in her hand. She was smiling, knowing, that she can do it again.

And the system gave up.

I CANR BELIEVE MUMBO IS GONE ON SESSION 5????

Did grian feel more watcher-like this season to anyone else? Sure he controls what the wildcards are and all that... but did you notice him being more overconfident.

Both his deaths this session was due to him being careless... like he wouldn't be killed. Like he feels invulnerable. (Who else is popularly portrayed as arrogant? The watchers!)

And the canary's curse. He told jimmy he would make sure it comes true. ( Who made the canary's curse? The watchers!)

I feel like the watchers have regained some influence on him. Something gave the watchers more influence on him this season... maybe something in the last life series. Who won the last life series? Scar...
