Where did Canary!Jimmy come from?

After a deepdive, I believe that there is no one person who can be accredited with this. There is one very notable presence who was ahead of the curb, vyeoh, their imagination would go on to inspire us in early 2022. It is thanks to Vyeoh and every artist from 2022 that it is where it is today. Thank you to every artist, every writer, everyone who helped spread it. But there are a few that I think could be directly accredited.

First, we need to acknowledge the video that was the last straw - 100 Hours Hardcore SMP. This series included Grian, Scar, and Joel, in janaury-febuary of 2022, during the period between Last Life and Double Life. Several guests, including Jimmy, were on.

When Jimmy was visiting, Grian died. People called him an omen, a harbringer of death. After Third Life, Last Life, and Empires season one apocalypse, 100 Hours SMP was the final notion needed to FULLY kickstart Canary!Jimmy, evident in fanart dated Febuary of 2022.

One of the earliest instances, if not the earliest, would belong to: vyeoh, whose art work depicted Canary!Jimmy far ahead of the game, in November of 2021.

Notable posts, post-100 Hours SMP, include:

yb-cringe - the explanation of what canary in the coal mine means, and how it applies to Jimmy.

the-cooler-philza - the Canary Poem

floweroflaurelin - Beautiful art Inspired By Poem - and the first acknowledgement from Jimmy

wither-rose-circus - I hope Canary!Jimmy gets widespread

Meetings between the Empires SMP Players were frequent, ensuring that everyone on the server was comfortable, happy, and safe. Not only that, but it helped them to stay updated on each other’s lives and any news from the hub servers. After the Hermitcraft crossover, it was also a time for whoever had most recently visited the hub worlds to distribute letters that had been sent from their friends on the other server.

Jimmy had a tendency to open each letter individually, only opening the next when he had already read the one before it. It allowed him to give his full attention to whatever he was reading, instead of splitting his mind between multiple letters and the responses he would have to write.

Flipping to the final missive, Jimmy realized that it wasn’t a folded page or in any envelope, but simply a flat card. In fact, it wasn’t from any of the Hermits at all. Upon it read a few words in fancy script:

I have need of you, My Canary.

Jimmy sat with it for a moment, digesting the meaning before flipping the card over to read the back.

You’ll know when.

Jimmy sighed, setting the card down to rub at his temples. It had been a while since he had been called by the Lady Death to signal the end of a server or life. He had taken on the role without explicit instruction for the Life Series games, but it was a different feeling to be called away from his server specifically to take this role.

He slipped the card into his vest, hiding it away from anyone’s prying eyes. Unfortunately, he wasn’t quite fast enough.

“What came in for you, Jim?” Sausage asked, gesturing toward the card now tucked into the inner pocket of Jimmy’s vest.

“Nothing interesting,” Jimmy lied, not wanting to have to share.

“Come on, just share.”

“Sure, I got a summons from a goddess to do a job for her,” Jimmy rolled his eyes, telling the truth only because it was so wildly unexpected that no one would believe it.

Pix looked over and simply stared at Jimmy for a moment before giving him a nod. “Maybe we should let Jimmy have his privacy.”

Jimmy then recalled that Pix had sworn himself to Lady Death in Season One of Empires, having held the Vigil in Her honor. Pix likely recognized the feeling of Death from the card and could see that Jimmy was telling the truth.

Jimmy returned the nod with a small smile.

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...

must be the curse 😔

upon the heart of magic mountain 🌸🗻

from the oceanic goddess revered in the cyberpunk city on its hillside, to the stories of the ochre-feathered canary who's song hasn't been heard in years, it has been long thought by theorists that perhaps the magic imbued into this mountain was no coincidence- but rather the creation of mystical beings seeking to make a haven of sorts, a home protected by the powers that lie within this volcanic formation.

SECRET LIFE SPOILERS:

But the fact that Mumbo’s last words were almost exactly the same as they were in Last Life. Both times he is killed directly after Jimmy.

Last Life: OH! OH! JIMMY’S GONE! What! You just killed Jimmy!! You just killed Jimmy!

Secret Life: OOOOOH! JIMMY’S GONE! Jimmy’s gone!

Both times he immediately cries out with a sort of shocked and anguished cry of despair and disbelief at the loss of his friend only to join him soon after. It’s like the Canary’s Miner that refused to leave its bird. Once the Canary dies, that is usually the Miners signal to get out or death will follow, but when the time came, he couldn’t do it. The Miner is so overcome with grief at the loss of its bird that he can’t bring himself to leave it behind, and so he is inevitably lost too.

BRo i have not slept, all the videos for secret life release between 10 pm and 4 am and as soon as i found out what happened with the canary curse i had to draw it so i pulled an allnighter, i hope you like it.

i am going to bed now , the sun is up.

this bird is so so dumb and so so stupid but i love him so much

also how dare he slightly break the curse right as it half way through working on a canary curse animatic.
