Everybody NEEDS to listen to the new Wild Life retrospective on Imp and Skizz's podcast. They got Grian called in and they give so many cool insights into the series (and honestly say so many things I think people need to hear)

Highlights for me:

Grian designed each wild card to be weaponized and wanted everyone to take advantage of them. He goes over each individually and all the thought he put into them and all the work the backend team put into their execution. He's rightfully really proud of them. Him gushing about Trivia Bot and how excited he was to show his friends the "coolest snail ever" is particularly sweet.

Skizz says discovering each wild card was a LOT of fun. He says something like "I can't believe as an adult I get to have so much fun." Impulse is really impressed with the execution of each, citing stuff like making it rain when the time one activated and the passive mobs spawning in before being replaced, and how the little details like that built excitement and tension.

Grian says how he understands that some viewers maybe just want more seasons of the essentially the same series, ie six seasons of just Third Life, but it's more important to him that the Lifers get to experience something new and fresh. He also doesn't like comparing each series, preferring to consider each one as its own thing.

Impulse can't wait to do another Life series, Skizz is equally excited but tries to hold discussion about it back since he doesn't want anyone pressuring Grian, who is palpably burned out. Like, you can hear how tired this man is. Grian says there will probably be more series since everyone is still enjoying it, but he's not trying to outdo himself and not to expect him to keep escalating.

Skizz always tries to do something new each season yet feels like he always falls back into the same habits and dynamics, but not this time: he feels like he got to explore a new dynamic with the Spanners and had a blast doing it. He and Grian gush about how much fun they had with their "big brother trying to keep his little brothers alive" routine.

They have a grand time making fun of Impulse and his "Sweats". Impulse is unabashedly still hungry to win a series.

Impulse didn't want to kill zombie Skizz, because of the five minute cooldown, but Skizz makes clear that he was really happy with being a zombie, even if there was a lot of doing nothing in between summons. He says it means a lot to him that he got to help with the burden of facilitating the series, even just a little bit.

Grian gives good insight into his personal life strategy: he does some things to deliberately test his relationship with other players. Standing in the Danger Zone was a trust exercise, testing Jimmy and Scar. Jimmy and Scar failed.

Despite Scar failing the trust exercise, Grian heard the disappointment in Scar's voice about the Snail Bot thing and immediately caved, but he's really happy that it led them to in-canon reconciling and becoming strong allies again.

Grian's favorite moment was making Jimmy pay for the failed trust exercise by blowing up the bunker, particularly pleased with his one liner of "it was always gonna be like this". He says Wild Life as a whole has been the most enjoyable series for him, even though he didn't get to have as much fun as the other players due to knowing all the wild cards.

All three of them gush over the scene of everybody failing to kill Joel as he teleports around, laughing about how it was straight out of a movie or an anime. Impulse feels like Joel took his superpower to a new level, but Grian reminds him the he didn't have an army chasing him around trying to kill him. They're all super impressed with how the finale turned out.

Some of the powers were assigned (Cleo, BigB, BDubs, Scar, Lizzie), some were random (Impulse, Martyn). Some were based on players' names, others on their personal narratives, but coming up with ~16 different powers without including any that would just be exploited for cheap instakills was really difficult, which is why there were so many espionage ones. Hilariously, Grian was hoping Scar would accidentally kill Jimmy by punching him off a cliff because of their ritual of trying punching in the earlier episodes. He also gave Scar that power because he knew Scar wouldn't feel bad about killing people with it.

Grian chose to give himself the mimic so he could show people how their powers worked if he needed to, and so that it wasn't given to somebody else who'd have to spend the whole session figuring out the mechanics of 15 separate superpowers and potentially dying because of it. And because he thinks its the coolest one and he wanted it (lol)

All around there's tons of fun details and stuff in this episode of the podcast and absolutely everybody should listen to it all the way through.

Imagine your polycule’s cottagecore gf goes on a vacation, comes back as an evil sorceress and kills the majority of your kingdom’s population, then resurfaces again like 1000 years later, traumatized, but with cool fairy powers while the evil sorceress version of her is still out there somehow. Would that be fucked up or what.

Ok but au where Jason had vitiligo or poliosis since he was a kid and always had the white hair streak but just dyed it when he was with Bruce so as to not give away Robins identity. Stops doing that after he died cuz there wasn’t really a point. Somehow the rest of the family (minus Bruce) didn’t even KNOW he has poliosis/vitiligo and just assumes it’s a death thing

This leads to many confusing conversations

Finally, my design for Mysterion!! this boy gave me so much heartache in the process of making this but its ok its all worth it for him <3

I also couldn't choose between the version with hair or without hair, so here's the one without under the cut (+ my initial drafts for his design):

Headcanon that Will takes a pomegranate to symbolize his ties to Nico at some point.

Headcanon that after TSATS, Will eats a pomegranate at lunch, just carefully eating every single seed while glancing at Nico every now and then.

It's out of nowhere. And Nico is slightly confused as to what it means.

That is until at some point some camper points out that eating a pomegranate could tie you to the underworld forever. Telling them about Persephone and Hades and how they wouldn't go near pomegranates ever. To somewhat shake Will into not eating it.

And Nico is of course a bit offended by it or upset. Because those pomegranates gave him chances at living when stuck in the jar.

And it also reminds that Hades kids are still seen as scary monsters from the underworld.

He expects Will to slowly put down the pomegranates. Having a slight bit of doubt.

But then they get Will staring dead eye at the offenders and eating the entire pomegranate. As symbol of forever being tied to the underworld. Eating an entire pomegranate could either mean forever trapped in the underworld and Nico is FROM the underworld. That's his home, that's where he originates, that's what he's made from. And Will knowing that fact, just doesn't care.

And all that doubt goes away.

He's pulling a Persephone card.

Cause he knows the symbolic meaning. He knows what eating a pomegranate means. He knows what might happen if he ever does eat a pomegranate from the underworld.

And he's taking it. Cause if it means being with Nico forever? "Sure. Fine. I'll eat this fucking pomegranate entirely." And people stare at him jaw-dropped.

This could also work for marriage between them actually. Just imagine as somewhat tradition. Marrying a child of Hades, you take a pomegranate and eat it. As a symbol to being tied with them forever. Connected and bound to them.

And basically writing down a symbol that you can NEVER take it back. Because once you eat a pomegranate in the underworld. You're trapped there forever.

And since Hades kids are from the underowlrd you're bound to them forever.

Literally to how Persephone is bound to Hades.

Yeah that's all. I really like this thought. Have fun with any other ideas you'd like to interpret. :3

I think we as a society should stop considering Nico di Angelo as cool and accept he’s actually a fucking loser

Also, I'm aware there's a slight layering issue with the text in the first panel - unfortunately my tablet broke this week so short of delaying the page there's nothing I can do right now! I hope it's not too distracting and I'll replace the image when I have it sorted! 💕

Never will I stop with the steadfast notion that folks in the DPXDC fandom should interact with at least some form of canon DC media.

There are comics, tv shows, radio dramas both old and new, podcasts, movies, magazines, so much shit that intentionally avoiding the media is simply preventing yourself from spawning new ideas and gaining a new appreciation for a fandom that you’re already in.

The Superman Radio Show has episodes 11 minutes long. A lot of the TV shows don’t have episodes that surpass 30 minutes and most are nearly fully clipped on the official DC YouTube channel. The amount of fan made motion comics is astounding. The amount of fanmade animations is equally as incredible.
