WHY DID IT GO FOR SCAR LIKE THAT 😭

Translations of each of Martyn's power cards in his episode!

(originals done by @cherrifire; I've omitted her character art, if/when she posts the full card screens those should be what you rb, this is just to get some translations out there in the meantime)

(Cleo is technically non-cannon but I think they also fall into that second category)

desertduo are NOT beating the allegations rn

CELESTIAL WINNERS V4

Please no debates in replies, ty! Joel as a meteor!

(This is just my take/headcanon)

[fairymousse]

Every Life series winner has some form of narrative catharsis ultimately.

Grian and Scar’s wins are both tragedies, the first a personal tragedy, the second a tragedy of circumstance.

Martyn’s win is shocking, violent and remorseless, reframing his entire relationship with Scott, as just a means to an end.

Cleo is an underdog story, winning through caution and careful strategy in a short amount of time. People can write off Real Life, but it is undisputed that Cleo is a winner, and she was sharp enough to let others fight for her.

Joel’s victory is the one that feels most like winning a game, cheered on by the dead, an even match. Wild Life felt the most like a game than the others. There were rules, and there was Chaos, and Joel was there at the Eye of the Storm.

Scott’s win feels like a reward for a game well played, a moral, loyal win for the Boogey who didn’t kill.

But the reason the Double Life is still my favourite is that Pearl’s win delivers justice. Her confident dispatch of bdubs and impulse feels earned after how rough it had been for her, and the death of Cleo and Martyn even more so. Scott’s final sacrifice also has catharsis, of Pearl forgiving him.

I love the life series so much, all of these wins are fantastic.

Also, my Watcher Lizzie AU is about to go crazy

did anyone else get double life flashbacks… holy shit

With Grian mentioning the Canary curse, it means he—and everyone on the server for that matter—fully aware of what we're doing in the fandom. That means they know what we mainly talked about.

Now with Grian having beef with Scar, imagine they're both on red and choose to settle it in a cactus fight.

A full circle of Life.

I think it’s safe to say Jimmy’s no longer cursed

i haven't watched pearl's episode yet. but there's something to be said about the fact that she knew scar well enough to know that, when it was the two of them, he would have too much pride to accept a sacrifice.

she doesn't want to win, and she tells him at first before she quietly tucks that secret back into its shell after scar's indignant reaction to her first attempt at self-sacrifice. she lets scar forget about it as they kill gem, and then as scar kills pearl. at no point does she try to say here, let me give this to you. she knows scar, but she also knows the pain of an ending like that.

but she misses a few swings, doesn't she? her legs don't move as quickly to duck away from his arrows. and isn't that familiar? isn't that something like a cactus ring, with two unrelenting fists and two half-hearted ones: a fight with two unwilling participants, a fight that was over before it ever really began at the insistence of one of its patrons

pearl is all too familiar with the sting of sacrifice, but then on the other side of things... scar knows all too well the tragedy of gifted victory, doesn't he?

They are never beating the divorced allegations
