False Symmetry!!

the queen of demise!!!

I’m watching Grian’s Hermitcraft currently and I’ve gotten pretty much to the end of Season 6. Fellow hurt/comfort lovers, listen up: If you go and look at it, Scar’s skin from Demise and his 3rd Life red name skin are almost the same (along with a ton of other 3L Similarities). So here’s a new little headcannon idea I had!

I think c!Grian would get incredibly uncomfortable if people brought up Demise. It would just remind him of 3L far to easily. He would play it off like he does with everything because let’s be honest that man deflects like nobody’s business, and he would try and get away from the conversation as fast as possible. I truly believe in my brain that even after all this time Grian will never get over the 3L events. I think the cactus ring will forever be one of his nightmares and being reminded of it is a sure fire way of sending Grian into a panic attack.

Now- the only person Grian can’t lie to is Scar. They’ve simply teamed up to many times for Scar not to know Grian’s tells. Scar goes to check up on Grian and: shenanigans ensue.

There’s an art and writing ideas for you all! You’re welcome!

Hi! Right now I only have the ones on Quotev (here!) :) I do have this as well, but it’s a WIP.

there's a parallel in last life that I don't see talked about as much as it deserves and so I'm going to dissect the ever-living hell out of it. remember the ghast farm incident? everyone remembers the ghast farm incident. Grian turns red, he starts knocking blocks of a bridge out from under Mumbo, "there's a way we can still be friends," etc etc etc. it's fantastic. WELL. two sessions earlier, there's a similar confrontation between Scar and Joel after Joel turns red, except the roles are reversed. Joel approaches and it's Scar who starts breaking blocks of the bridge, trying to put distance between the two of them. HOWEVER, the interesting difference here is that Scar is doing it not because he doesn't want to be Joel's friend anymore, but because he still wants to be. lets take a look at a transcript of part of that scene, shall we?

[Scar breaks several blocks of the bridge.] Joel: Scar, what are you doing? I know you're not my friend anymore, but come on, Scar. Not the bridge. Scar: I wanted to make an arrangement. Are- are we not friends? Joel: We can't be friends, Scar. We can't be friends.

Scar knows that Joel is a red life and that he might hurt him, but he still wants to be friends, so he's providing a way that they can be near each other while he isn't in any danger by putting a gap in the bridge. he even breaks it again when he comes by to chat later. during that chat, Joel reminds him of how dangerous he is, Scar says he "gets it," and then proceeds to let him continue living under magical mountain. Scar doesn't "get" that he needs to be cautious of Joel—what he "gets" is that he's taking a risk by letting him stay and that he's already accepted something might happen. and he's OKAY with that. Joel is red. he gets it.

now compare that to this excerpt from the ghast farm incident:

Grian: Y'know, Mumbo, there's a way we can still be friends. Mumbo: Yeah? Grian: Yeah. [he starts breaking blocks at of Mumbo's feet] You could join me.

with Joel and Scar, it's a red life choosing to step away from his friend in order to protect him, while said friend tries to find a way that they can still be near each other without placing himself in danger. with Grian and Mumbo, it's a red life choosing to try to take his friend down with him so that they can be near each other because he can't accept not being his friend. the fact that in BOTH scenarios the friendship is symbolized by a bridge being broken is a perfect illustration of one of Grian's lines from the ghast farm incident: "it was a bad idea for the wrong reasons." those friendships should have been a good idea, those bridges should have been a good idea, but now they provide a connection that isn't safe, and they all know that.

and I'm not done talking about this. no no no no no. this offers a FASCINATING insight into why desert duo is Like That. Scar would sooner let Grian kill him than have to stop being his friend. Grian would sooner kill Scar than have to stop being his friend. which is all kinds of perfectly fucked up and explains exactly why 3rd life ended the way that it did. it also makes the cactus scene from double life very interesting to think about. remember the cactus scene? it's a doozy.

Grian starts session by dropping a stalactite on Scar's head as a prank and (unintentionally) taking them down to two and a half hearts. Scar then retaliates by leaning against a cactus until Grian breaks it. he then leans against Yet Another Cactus until Grian breaks that one too, at which point they are at only one heart. a question I've been asking since that day is this: if Grian hadn't broken the cactus, would Scar have stepped away before it was too late?

using bridge theory, we can find an answer to this.

the answer is no.

this isn't necessarily because Scar is actively trying to get them killed—it's more because he knows with absolute certainty that Grian will break the cactus. he's not prepared to step away because he isn't worried he needs to. see, the difference between Grian and Scar is that Grian is willing to throw around the lives of other people to get what he wants, and Scar is willing to throw around his own life to get what he wants (the fact that what they really want out of all this is often the other's trust is an issue I will dissect another day). once again, last life is the perfect example of this. Grian steals a life from Scar right off the bat and gets another one out of him by force a few episodes later. meanwhile, Scar makes a business out of selling his soul and threatens Team BEST that he'll kill himself in order to go red life crazy on them. and they don't doubt him! and they SHOULDN'T doubt him, because Scar is the kind of guy that would do that! the same way that Grian is the kind of guy who will drop a stalactite on his soulmate's head but break the cactus he's leaning against.

Grian is willing to risk Scar's life, but he's not okay with Scar risking his own life, because he knows that he's completely willing to stand against a cactus until he dies if it makes a point. so Grian breaks it.

but Scar knows Grian as well as Grian knows him. Scar knows that this is hardly a risk at all. so he leans against the cactus a third second time.

XD Ok so imagine if Sky's smart mouth made him want to roast the heck out of Demise before he could even lay the curse

Like what if Sky, who even managed to roast Impa, has just nearly killed Demise and this goes down:

Demise: >:) So about the world's fate-

Sky: Did you know that your monstrous sealed form (a boss called The Imprisoned) looks like an avocado?

Demise: ?!?!

Sky: With teeth.

Sky: And I wielded the triforce and utterly destroyed you so you faded to dust- and the only reason you're alive (for the next few moments anyway lol) is your sword spirit Ghirahim went back in time? Huh? Did you?

Sky, laughing now: I mean what kind of God is outdone by his weapon and a student ami'right

Demise: *inhales*

Sky: Did you know that to fight you while imprisoned I popped your toes one by one through your pathetic little shockwaves you sent? Did you know that you were so weak that they popped like balloons?

Sky, cracking up: Did you know that your most helpful move when I was fighting you was to slither up the hill like an undignified walnut after I popped all your toes and you couldn't waddle anymore?

*Demise points at Sky and Sky points right back*

Sky: I landed on your head out of a catapult- your sealed form's flying technique was pathetic!

Demise: On you I lay this curse

Sky, yelling: Did you know that your monstrous form is almost as dumb and stupid looking as you are!!!!

Sky: And by the way. Nice hair

Demise: *screams in rage and fades away without the chance to lay the curse*

Like imagine you're a God who wants to lay a curse to doom the world but your opponent is a teenager with sass issues

I finished Skyward Sword and I LOVE IT! VERY MUCH!

beautiful beautiful game. I played it slowly and enjoyed every little bit of it ❤

The credits were beautiful, and the after-credits scene! 🥺 Oh my heart. I really love the Triforce wish scene. I hadn't realized that all this time, the goal was to avoid fighting. Going so far to find the full Triforce and wish for no war...

Zelda, Impa, Link, and Fi were all going out of their way fighting so that everyone else would not have to face the consequences of war, and that the innocents avoid suffering. It's so noble. Really makes me appreciate the whole story line of Skyward Sword.

The softness of the artstyle also reinforces this message. And how Link easily slips into a dream-like state, like when he listens to music. He wants to live in a happy, dreamy world. Another detail, is how mindful Link is of everything going on around him, even if he looks like his head is in the clouds xP (for example, at the start of every dungeon, we see a cutscene of him taking a moment to reflect before entering. He either stops to look at the darkness ahead or closes his eyes for a minute before starting the dungeon. I looovvee those cutscenes) I just love everything about it. This game makes me so happy!

 Aaaaand that's one more Zelda game completed!

one day nicky discovers his old camera from when the twins were teens and the footage in there is gold. for the next movie night he plugs it in as a surprise and everyone watches in delight (or horror if you are andrew + aaron) as andrew locks himself in his room because aaron told him his use of hair gel makes him look like an emo draco malfoy.

id probably have more success as an elden ring/fromsoft artist but alas, my heart still belongs to the legend of zeldas most unpopular villain, oh well..

chapter 2 rough draft is approaching 70 pages, im confident i can start painting it this week :3

[anxiousant]

I have come to the realization that i have a thing for a very specific type of character design. That being when the characters act apathetic because they don't want others to think that they care. BUT ACTUALLY THEY DO CARE. They care so much it makes me physically sick. Case in point:

Andrew minyad, all for the game

Kaz brekker, six of crows

Carden, folk of the air series

Victor, Vicious

Vanja, little thieves

Ronan lynch, raven boys

Allistair and Gavin, all of us villans

I'm sure there are more, but these are all i could think of rn. Anyway I'm a sucker for any such characters. If anyone has any recommendations, do let me know

“He betrayed your trust and you aren’t more upset?" Helsknight scoffs. "Pathetic.” Wels rolls his eyes. “It’s a death game, Helsknight, that’s kind of the whole point. I should’ve seen this coming, honestly.” “You’re naive.” “Iskall’s my friend. It’s not naive to trust him.” “He broke that trust!” “Well, yes, and I plan to get him back for that someday, but also: it’s a death game. We all agreed to it. I’m not mad at him for killing me, I just wish he’d been a bit more upfront about it.” If he’d been more obvious about trying to kill Wels, then maybe Wels wouldn’t be dead, also. But Iskall’s whole goal was to kill him, so he can understand the deception. “You’re infuriating.” Wels shrugs. He generally tries not to be, but in this instance, he finds that he doesn’t mind. “Maybe so. Look, can we finish this later? I need to go get my stuff back from Iskall, and your presence would probably freak him out.”

you know when you get to that point of dealing with intrusive/self deprecating/etc thoughts that you're just like. "yeah okay. consider: you're stupid and wrong. also: go away, i'm busy"? that should be wels and hels

Aaron is the type to repress and ignore all the bad stuff that happens until one day someone will say something and it triggers EVERYTHING
