#grian just loves watching and causing chaos

[liauditore]

I have not stopped talking about the way you draw Impulse since you posted that art, he's such a silly guy and I love him

hello again zera hopepetal!! I'm glad you like him he's fun to draw even tho i keep getting his hair the wrong way around but shh. the fandom at large is so so right abt him being big and strong. vibes are immaculate.

he somehow manages to be both the relatively reasonable mum friend and the one who causes problems on purpose in my head 👍very silly very good

^ both are canon to me

smth smth Joel's win has long been anticipated since his madness arc in Last Life where he was fighting to live mainly for himself with a fluctuating alliance with Scar, then in Double Life he finally had a teammate who would stay with him–albeit not out of their own choice–which meant at least he had something to fight for. "The ship burns, everything burns!" This time, he went mad because they destroyed the symbol of his relationship–something he built for Etho to prove he's a worthy partner, only for it to burn down just as if breaking him and Etho apart was that easy...and yet, they died together, burning together like their ship, and if you think about it, Joel must've thought the ship burning meant it was as fragile as their forced alliance...but even with his doubts, his hesitation, Etho stayed with him. His rage came from his insecurity, not merely out of loneliness.

Then in Limited Life he finally had real allies, people he'd willingly give up his life for (whereas in Double Life, he had to stay alive for his partner), even intending to sacrifice himself just to break Jimmy's curse. Jimmy's death broke him, drove him to insanity.

In Secret Life, he found himself allied with the people who were shunned when they turned red, and no one thought they'd make it–but they fought together til the end, him and Bdubs together, with Pearl fighting to secure them the win. His allies knew loneliness and desperation, the way it haunted them even with a newfound family. They tolerated each other's madness that way, a visceral understanding of how it feels to lose your mind as you fight and fight for an uncertain future while your former allies seem to turn against you.

Then came Wild Life. Joel has always been wild, driven by rage and an inclination for chaos. But this time, finally seeing how his previous antagonism caused him isolation, he decides that this season is about family. He'll antagonize no one, not even Scott. He never knew how to cope with his natural madness, but now, he made peace with it–with the help of Gem, someone equally unhinged but in control of herself, to ground him and pacify his anger when needed.

This time his violent tendencies didn't bring about his downfall, because this time, he was finally at peace with himself. He wasn't the desperate hunter chasing down victims. His tactic was to avoid and evade, let them chase him down this time, waiting for the time to strike. Gem's death, unlike Jimmy's, gave him the push he needed to focus. And with Scott out of the way, he is now secure in himself, fighting steadily even if he panics internally.

Before, he played the part of the hunter only to fall prey. Now, in becoming the prey, he became the hunter.

Make it wild, the final instruction said. But Joel has always been wild. To be wild is to be passionate, turbulent and volatile, and he has always been those things. But wild can also mean, "to deviate from the intended or expected course." People expected him to lose it and cause his own downfall again. People expected his aggression and explosiveness. They didn't expect him to be, for once, stable.

Joel has always been full of irony. He drives people away from him all while craving a sense of belongingness. He's one of the most violent, yet also one of the most loving. Now, he won Wild Life by being perfectly in sync with himself.

He didn't need to be the villain to be wild. His peace amidst the chaos was wild enough...and even Grian encouraged it. Grian, who has watched from a close distance, once even too close, how desperate Joel was. He saw the growth. And he decided, this time, "You know you could win this, Joel. It's your turn."

And win it he did.

[free-my-boy-grumbot]

absolutely love how the multiverse works in mcyt. like, most servers all have their own character regardless of where the cc has been before. for example, dsmp!wilbur and qsmp!wilbur are different people that come from different universes. they’re even different charcaters between seasons, for example empires season 1 and season 2 jimmy are different people. Generally, even the most powerful mcyts like Phil can’t travel between universes.

hermits on the other hand can and frequently do multiverse travel with ease. for example, hermitcraft season 6 grian and season 9 grian and even evo smp grian are all the same person. hell, most seasons end because the mere presence of the hermits caused a portal to open up or the world to end or something else strange. hermits are inherently harbingers of chaos and all the other mcyt charcaters are a little terrified of them.

also it’s worth mentioning that they can’t really “die” like the other mcyts. every other mcyt (unless they have some other reason to be immortal) can permanently die. sure, they can be revived or come back as a ghost, but they will never be the same person they were when they were alive. Hermits don’t experience this even in the slightest. A hermit can literally watch the universe collapse around them, they can be hit by the moon, they can be canonically killed like in trafficlife, and every single time they just dust themselves off and get back up like nothing happened.

anyways tldr most mcyts are confined to their universe but hermitcraft members have something more Sinister going on.

Life / Hermit collabs I wanna see that aren’t Life Series / HermitCraft

1. REPO WITH DIVORCE QUARTET

I can already imagine the absolute chaos as the four of them try to work together and beat the levels while also having access to weapons and items and mobs. It’d be so funny, I can already see Martyn knocking Cleo over with the cart and her yelling at him while Scott and Pearl giggle, or Scott smashing an item and all three gang up on him immediately. Martyns inability to shutup getting the huntsman to shoot Pearl and Scott and Cleo lose it. ALSO MAKE IT NOT PG PLEASE I NEED IT FOR MY SOUL. Please god if you can hear me 🙏🙏

2. ONE BLOCK SKYBLOCK WITH GRIAN, SCAR, JOEL AND JIMMY

I NEED 100 hours trio back and I think adding Jimmy would be pure mischief. Would be so much fun to watch the four of them try and progress in the world while also actively sabotaging each other because they cannot be trusted. Jimmy is banned from building, Scar isn’t trusted with valuables cause he keeps falling off, NOBODY trusts Grian, Joel is actively crashing out 24/7. Absolute hell, 10/10.

3. MARTYN TEACHES CLEO FORTNITE OG

This one is so insanely self indulgent but I love Fortnite so much and zombiewood is my favourite duo ever and Martyn used to play Fortnite lots and with og being back it’d be the perfect time for him to teach a lifer Fortnite, and I think Cleo is the most chaotic option. Also there’s a skin that looks super similar to her life series skin and it’d be perfect. Anyone would be fun though!

4. EMPIRES SEASON 3 OR SOMETHING CLOSE TO IT

I am going to continue to kick this dead horse I need this so bad BUT ADD CLEO, MARTYN, REN AND ALSO SEAPEEKAY. I love Cleo lore series so much (Pirates and WitchCraft come back to me 🙏) and Ren expressed interest in Empires season 2. Seapeekays also said he’d love to be in Empires SMP (and the life series. please add him to the life series. I’m begging.) and he’s so good at lore and always a super fun pov. Plus Martyn and his lore skills plus general chaos he brings to every server is peak.

5. HERMIT AMONG US BUT WITH MORE LIFERS

I LOVE the HermitCraft lobbies we’re getting in Among Us but I desperately need more with the lifers and also non-lifers too (cough Seapeekay & Aimsey cough). I’d love to see just more Among Us lobbies with loads of variants of people bevause it’s always so much fun.

HM. MORE SEAPEEKAY

That’s all, just more Seapeekay. Add him to build and seek, bring back base invaders with more lifers and hermits but include Seapeekay. Add Seapeekay to among us and repo lobbies. GIVE ME MORE SEAPEEKAY + LIFERS & HERMITS

[chipperchemical]

here's a headcanon for most Skizz ships to prove my theory that he is the most shippable man to ever exist

Bdubs/Skizz - Skizz pampers the HELL out of Bdubs. giving him random gifts, constant PDA, always letting him steal his clothes. (you know how when cats lick and clean rabbits, both the rabbit and the cat think they're the dominant one in the exchange? yeah. that's them.)

BigB/Skizz - they have the strangest uncle vibes you've ever seen. they'd show up to the gathering with homemade desserts, forget everyone's names twice, refer to each other as "roommate" while wearing wedding rings, and leave with the bowl of Doritos. cryptid couple.

Etho/Skizz - as they lay together, they'll both trace each other's scars oh-so-gently with their fingers. sometimes they'll trail kisses down them. Etho isn't much of a touch person, so Skizz treasures these rare moments when they're so intimate.

Scar/Skizz - they have watched the entirety of the Star Wars franchise about three times by now. Skizz still isn't really sure what it's about because Scar likes to ramble over the dialogue with trivia about each individual scene, but he prefers it that way anyway.

Grian/Skizz - it's pretty common to see them both up in the air, having a flying competition. Grian is objectively much better: he can swoop and curve and dive with such elegance, while Skizz can barely change direction without a bit of stumbling. they're both too competitive to give in though, and it's just so much fun! so far, the score is 82 - 0. (and hey, if all that flying exhausts them both so that they get home and cuddle until they sleep, then bonus!)

Impulse/Skizz - Skizz always seems to know when something is bothering Impulse, to the point where he'll fly across the server to see him because he "just had a bad feeling". it's always correct, and Skizz always makes sure to comfort Impulse.

Martyn/Skizz - they make each other laugh SO hard. it's rare to see them not smiling around each other because of how much chemistry and banter they have. absolute chaos bringers.

Mumbo/Skizz - Skizz can very easily pick Mumbo up as if he weighs nothing. if they're together, Mumbo barely gets the chance to walk anywhere because Skizz just loves carrying him bridal-style to various places. sometimes Skizz will even have Mumbo in one arm and another hermit in the other just to show off; Mumbo finds it quite handsome.

Pearl/Skizz - Pearl makes Skizz bouquets of flowers as random gifts, "just cause!". he keeps all of them in a vase in his base, keeping them until they're wilted and dying until she gifts him a new one. occasionally he'll put a flower in his suit pocket when they go out, to match with one in her hair.

Ren/Skizz - they're constantly play-arguing about who's the better lover, who's better at flirting, etc. they will only stop when Skizz pulls Ren in for a kiss so he physically can't argue back.

Scott/Skizz - they're all softness and sweetness. Skizz will talk to Scott in a softer voice than usual, making sure he bundles up warm or has a hearty breakfast; Scott laughs and pushes him away ("I don't need you mothering me!"), but he does find it quite endearing to not be so independent for once. bonus: they're totally like parents to the rest of the group. they've grounded Jimmy twice.

Joel/Skizz - the MOST competitive couple on the server. if they're going somewhere, it's a race; if they're flirting, it's a challenge; they are just non-stop. at first, Skizz tried to reign in Joel's competitiveness a bit, but it's just so much more fun to make everything into a playful competition. they are the reason Uno was banned at the group hangouts.

Jimmy/Skizz - refer to themselves as "jizzle" when together. they enjoy the sheer rage and disappointment that it's always met with.

Tango/Skizz - they are the MOST PDA couple you will EVER see. Tango is constantly calling Skizz handsome, hanging off of him, gently biting him on the arm; likewise, Skizz always has an arm around Tango, squeezing his cheeks as he tries to talk, pressing kisses all over his face and arms. it's sickeningly sweet.

Cleo/Skizz - they're both so chaotic but in such different ways: Cleo is one annoyance away from setting fire to someone while Skizz is one funny idea away from setting fire to himself. sometimes they have to reign each other in, but most of the time Cleo is burning down a building and Skizz is cheering them on from the sidelines. he brings little cheerleader pom-poms.

Zedaph/Skizz - they are banned from the kitchen after trying to make instant noodles in the coffee machine <3

[whereispearlescentmoon]

Great points of today’s Pearl ep (a recap of my freak-outs, some of which will be getting their own posts)-

Exclusively spoilers below this line:

Cleo asking Pearl if she’s okay and Scott offering her a life if she goes red. Pearl defending herself when Scott says she keeps making enemies.

Cleo enabling Pearl and Scott trying to stop her. The eventual agreement that she can kill Gem or Joel if negotiations don’t work.

Never did I think I’d see the day but Gem attacking Pearl and Cleo responding with “She’s not done anything to you Gem!” And defending her? My neurons are firing lads.

Scar asking Pearl if shes okay?

BigB is officially fired from the GGGG, and the world possible person (Cleo) caught him doing it.

Impulse trying to do a British woman voice and failing so hard that Cleo fails to recognize her own quote.

Pearl catching Skizz and Mumbo like vermin under their base. Mumbo trying to convince her that her teammates don’t really love her because they won’t give her a life and trying to get her to betray them so she won’t snitch that Skizz is under their base. AND SHE DOES BETRAY THEM?? HELLO?

Bonus Imp and Skizz podcast except Mumbo and Pearl are Impulse in order to keep Mumbo and Skizz’ vid from being just them sneaking.

Ren wanting to kill Grian because he’s the one causing them all their pain and recruiting Pearl, Scar, and BigB… Watcher fans come get yall juice.

JOEL ALSO ASSUMING PEARL’S TEAM DUMPED HER?? Her referring to the parrots as “the canaries” and actually getting the fast and furious reference which does automatically put her in Joel’s good graces.

Mumbo and Skizz immediately sighing after they fail to kill the people coming to visit Pearl. Pearl then getting Mumbo and Skizz to reassure her that she has been making friends and her teammates are wrong.

Scott silently leading her away and telling her that Mumbo is under their base, and Pearl pretending she had no idea anyone was there and she’s been building the whole time. Mumbo lying for her???? Hello?? Mumbo trying to offer Scott the same deal he gave Pearl and Scott refusing?

“Ya know, I have no reason to go against Scott this season. I just think it’s funny. And that’s what I do every season! I do a little fun, I have a little glee, I have a little laugh and it’s, I dunno. But if you make a bunch of allies then nobody wants to kill you right? Right.”

MOON FAST! “You go moon! Look at that cousin in the sky!”

“I knew tnt minecarts were a bad idea. That’s why I don’t touch them with a ten foot pole.” VIOLENT LIMITED LIFE FLASHBACK

Pearl wanting her team’s approval of the base! Cleo calling her very talented!

This moment:

Martyn: Come on, let red Pearl out to play!

Pearl: No, look as much as she would love to, it’s too early for red Pearl. She can stay where she is.

Gem and Pearl getting along for a brief moment to watch the boys be stupid.

Pearl telling Scott not to trust BigB and Cleo saying BigB is working with the devils… Nosey Neighbor fans weep, Pearl and Cleo duo (I don’t know their name) fans cheer

PEARL SHOOTING BIGB WHILE CLEO CHEERS HER ON!!! NOSEY NEIGHBOR FANS WEEP PEARL AND CLEO DUO FANS CHEER

Pearl shooting Martyn?? Oh she’s got blood lust now!

“I’m in me mum’s car!”

Pearl, Tango, and Bdubs just watching the chaos and refusing to cross the bridge.

No Pearl deaths!!!!

[huggywuggysuppy]

Notes on Scott’s Wild Life 3 POV

In summary: our gaslight king controlling the narrative as usual, what an icon.

Scott has very economical editing, having one of the shorter POVs, yet takes care to include several instances of being nice to Pearl (noticed this when he left in giving Pearl food, both at the beginning and when they were building the new castle together). However, he left out the session routine of chastising Impulse and Pearl for picking fights with Gem/Joel (seen in Pearl’s POV), only including warning a freshly yellow Pearl to not try to kill them.

Scott doesn’t die this episode. Notably, his main contributions to base building are simply moving materials from one chest to the other — a very safe activity when being pursued by a snail. Gem and Joel who also avoided snail death built in a wide open area, and the other no-snail-deaths generally forgoed building and dangerous activity altogether (although, RIP Lizzie for surviving mining only to be Skizz’d). All this to say: Scott wasn’t playing sweaty, he still took risks, but they were very small and calculated.

Scott doesn’t include a lot of the Spanners antagonizing GGGG. Partly because they failed and it’s not very interesting to just see Scott looking at the dirt for Mumbo and Grian digging, or warily watching Skizz from 15 blocks sway. But I also think he’s building a villain narrative for Pearl and Impulse and having other groups wrong GGGG would upset that balance. Though, this point is my most tinfoil hat theory.

Scott, Cleo, and Impulse half-heartedly warn Etho of an approaching creeper, sort of totally 100% causing his death. They all celebrate, Cleo and Impulse both breaking into delighted cackles, however Scott calls Impulse out on taking more glee from Etho’s death than the other two. He’s taking care to point out any villainous behavior in Impulse/Pearl, justifying his own negative behavior towards them and painting himself as a long suffering yet loyal teammate. He does this every season, and I eat it up every time — although he’s particularly negative towards Imp and Pearl compared to, say, Martyn.

Related, Scott is stressing how put together and connected GGGG is. He’s complimenting all of them and turning to the camera to gloat about how they’re not gonna fall apart. This session didn’t leave a lot of room for Impulse and Pearl to prove him wrong, but even then he’s doing the prep work to make it their fault if/when the divorce happens. This is made easier by his reputation as a good and loyal teammate combined with Impulse’s and especially Pearl’s fandom reputation as instigators. (And to an extent, yes, they are both consciously approaching WL with a “cause problems on purpose” mission.)

But I can’t ignore every time Scott badmouths their decisions to other people and denounces their actions as suspicious/villainous. That sort of behavior only makes him look better instead of strengthening his whole team: if he really believed in GGGG, he’d be lying on their behalf and definitely not calling them out for picking fights. Just as Cleo didn’t back up Pearl when she tried to poison Gem, Scott is actively making his teammates look worse. And I fear he might get away with it.

I love Smajor and watch his perspective as a fan! I think he intentionally plays “the social game” like this: partly to make it more interesting, and partly because he enjoys the chaos. And really, who doesn’t?

[pluieasteroides]

songbird au (mumscarian)

i came up with this new mumscarian au (someone help me) and i must share its details with at least one person out here cause i'm going absolutely crazy lol so here are some ideas after the cut! (please note that i don't know the specifics yet; these are just starting points!)

this au would take place in a mix of a steampunk/cyberpunk setting

the watchers are in charge of people's and nations' fates (they're gods); they enjoy causing chaos through wars and battles

watchers control said people and nations through vessels (or individuals) called 'colibris' (which is the plural form of the word 'colibri' and means 'hummingbird' in french; pronounced kol-ee-bree)

each nation has its own colibri; they're highly revered because they are basically the watchers' prophets. they are high-status (like royalty). they're singers, though their songs and words persuade others and manipulate people's emotions! thus, they realize watchers' prophecies and fulfill their goals

grian is a colibri! he resides in the capital of his nation, hermitiapolis (placeholder name). he absolutely hates being a colibri, though; he feels like a plaything, like a mere toy, and hates causing people's misery

mumbo is his bodyguard; he despises seeing grian suffer because of his nature, and is ready to do whatever that's in his power for grian to finally feel happiness (grian appreciates the thought but cannot help but feel as if it is useless, especially because watchers are always watching and using grian for propaganda)

grian and mumbo are in love huehue ;; though it's controversial, so they keep their union a secret (especially because no one is supposed to touch colibris - but watchers - and 'touched colibris' are considered 'tainted' and 'impure' by watchers) (it's a sacrilege) (the watchers know tho... they're always watching mwuahaha - great starting point for lots of angst and drama me thinks)

before they can even concoct a plan to escape the capital though, an assassin infiltrates the palace and threatens to kill grian

the assassin is (of course!) scar :D

scar is part of a group of assassins who wish to annihilate watchers (and, consequently, the first step in their plan is to murder colibris)

mumbo, scar, and grian then come to an agreement: they escape the capital and begin their journey across the world in hopes of finding a way to harm and potentially kill the watchers without necessarily killing colibris

eventually, scar falls in love with waffle duo, and waffle duo reciprocate his feelings (squeals)

evidently, the watchers are mad at grian's attempts to reject his nature, but they cannot really harm him or kill him since they need him for their purpose (lol). because they can possess colibris (and take over their bodies and thoughts), they decide to control him from time to time and make him sing to scar and mumbo to hurt them through persuasion and emotion-control

scar has magic that sometimes allows him to resist the call of colibris, though (don't know how, don't know what, but he does lol - still working on that!)

grian is even more horrified, then, because he truly doesn't know what he's fully capable of (and he's hurting the ones he loves ;;)

as for appearances, i had this vision where grian was wearing a golden mask and golden headphones (with wings on the sides). holograms would be part of the elite class' common attire, and so people would add non-existent accessories to their appearances. therefore, grian would have 'fake' golden wings; he cannot fly with them, they're only for appearances

i'm thinking of making grian trans for this au as well... he would be afab and would identify as a man

scar would most probably be on the ace spectrum (like myrsexual and/or greysexual)

they're all poly! :P

general colours for this au are dark purple, gold and white (idk i like to associate random things to aus to make it more fun lol)

let me know what you think! i'm planning to write a series of drabbles or a long fic for this au cause i love it lots huehue :> send questions/comments through the ask button if you feel like it! :D

[cauli-is-awake]

life series theorising (spoilers ahead beware)

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

i like lore and was bored so i compiled this neat lil theory about the life series'.

the main thought in this is, what if it was meant to end with secret life?

and that's why it was so different from the other series before? it was meant to be a big dramatic finale from the watchers and it got fucked up by the players still, and that's why we have wild life -where the watchers are angry and have completely let loose- .

think about it, the really obvious watcher reference in the secret keeper, no more mystery and controlling the games ominously from the shadows, they were directly "we are in control and doing this to you". the tasks getting harder and building up to the final "win secret life" it's so much an order than any other finale:

third life "there can only be one winner" -grian desperately wants to remain in his desert peacefully with scar but is forced to give it up to make it so there is only one winner as the watchers intended. even his jump of the cliff is an act of defiance, killing himself on his terms.

last life "i've spent all season being honourable, im not about to stop now" -scott isn't in a bloodlust like many other players, he is defying the watchers, not by living on peacefully (for he knows that isn't possible) but by having a fair match, being honest and never betraying allies and ending it in a similar fashion, the watchers are furious and strike him down for defying them, vowing to end this treachery.

double life "tilly death do us part" -pearl is given the win by scott. in lore you cant tell me that wasn't purposeful a pairing, and after sessions and sessions of fighting it all comes to an end with scott's sacrifice (already going against the watchers in not going with his soulmate and again by killing himself). the watchers are hoping, WAITING for this full scale fight that never happened. and the worst part is, PEARL FORGAVE HIM. they made up. the watchers are fucking pissedddd.

limited life "this is a death match for a reason" -martyn in the watchers grasps is common is lim life fics, and it leans into that build up of wanting control and watching players thwart it every time, so they full on possess a player and make him win the way they want, with betrayal and violence (even better the players were trying to organise another "fair fight" between the final three). They brought back the boogie, maybe that was there anger festering and they had to cause more chaos and bloodshed and on such short notice just borrowed from Last life? Even the life gimmick of lim life kinda feels like a hint at the near end, time is counting down like the watchers patience and willingness to play, once the countdown (limlife) is over, the finale begins. This time the game ends as the watchers want BECAUSE they interfered, proving to themselves they still control the games.

then we get to secret life and everything is meant to end:

jimmy isn't the first to die (canary curse)

scotts alliance breaks apart (his loyalty is finally tested)

a substantial amount of murder from non reds (boogey apocalypse)

in secret life everything changes

BUT IT DIDNT (dun dun dun)

LIZZIE DIED FIRST BUT WAS STUCK IN THE VOID, CANARY CURSE CONTINUES

GEM AND THE SCOTTS FALL APART IN THE BOOGEY APOCALYPSE BUT SCOTT IS STILL LOYAL AND LAYS DOWN HIS LIFE FOR GEM

AND PEOPLE SURVIVE THE BOOGEY APOCALYPSE, SO THE TASK FAILS

(i could draw more differences but this is enough example for me)

so their big dramatic finale failed

maybe that's why scar lived?

the watchers forgot him in the secret life world in their rage

UNTIL WILDLIFE:

when they are throwing everything at them possible (WILDNESS)

(atleast this time it seems to be working if mumbo's death is anything to go by)

thanks for listening to my yapping ^-^

i love drawing silly conclusions from the series

[twomanyfandomshelp]

I’ve been obsessed with the Hadestown musical recently, and last night while trying to fall asleep I had Wait For Me playing, and for some reason, my brain started combining it with the life series. The thought wouldn’t leave me alone, so I grabbed my computer and an hour later had this typed out. Enjoy the chaos of watching me slowly descend into madness and realize that this might not work as well as I wanted it to, but at that point, I was committed, so I just kept typing and ended up with this. This is directly copied and pasted from the Google Doc I created last night at 10 o’clock when I was supposed to be asleep lol

Joel as Orpheus and Lizzie as Eurydice (this is non-negotiable).

Grian or Scar as Hermes? Grian could be Hermes because Hermes is the narrator of Hadestown, and Grian is the founder of the life series. But Scar would be a good Hermes because of his scamming tendencies and general personality.

Ranchers as Hades and Persephone? Cause I feel like Tango fits Hades’ industrial vibe, and Jimmy could be a good Persephone character. Also, I just like this ship.

Another possible Hades and Persephone pairing is Etho and Bdubs. Etho, because of the redstone and also his very mysterious vibe. Bdubs because he’s covered in moss and idk just has kinda the same vibe as Persephone. Both relationships bounce between healthy and adorable to kinda toxic. Could provide some angst? Probably influenced by that one Hermicraft + PJO AU by @/ahllohehn tbh because their parents are Hades and Demeter in that, and there’s even a post making a joke about how their relationship in that could be compared to Hades and Persephone.

The Three Gs (Cleo, Scott, and Pearl) as The Fates (also non-negotiable, I love these three so much, and it just fits so well).

Are there even enough characters in Hadestown to fit all the life series characters? Or would a bunch of them just end up being background characters?

Other Redstoner characters could be the workers in Hadestown building the wall. Mumbo, Impulse, wherever Impulse is, Skizz has to be there too, so even though he’s not a redstoner, maybe he’s there to lift the heavy stuff, idk he’s always portrayed as really buff and an angel, so I’ve decided he gets to be dead with his friends, and then either Tango or Etho, depending on who’s Hades.

What about Martyn? Ren? Gem? BigB? And whoever is left after Hermes and Persephone are chosen. The other Hades would be taken care of by the workers, but what about Grian/Scar and Jimmy/Bdubs?

Fic? How could this be a whole fic? Wouldn’t it just be the story of Hadestown, but change the names? Can’t change the story much, the whole point of Hadestown is that the story is a tragedy, and Hermes knows this, but he keeps telling the story anyway.

Drawings? I don’t have the art talent for that. I still have the sketchbook app on my iPad, I could probably try to figure it out. Tracing?

Drawing of Joel and Lizzie in Orpheus and Eurydice’s costumes from the musical. Pose like that one dip from Rusty Courage’s Dancin’ video. I can picture it so clearly in my head, and I’m so frustrated because I know the second I start trying to draw it, it’s not going to come out how I picture it because I just don’t have the artistic talent for that. It sucks to have a super creative imagination that can create these beautiful images and then hands that refuse to translate the image to paper or screen or canvas or whatever. Sorry for the mini rant about my terrible art skills lol

I felt like the people of Tumblr should see this. Other people think about taxes before they fall asleep at night, I think about combining two of my obsessions and then grab my laptop and type everything out because I’ll be damned if I lose this great idea. Please either reblog this or send me an ask or put your thoughts in the comments; I want to know what y’all think, and am open to suggestions! Who do you think would be a better Hermes? What about Hades and Persephone? Are there any other characters that y’all can think of in Hadestown? Where would you put the other life series members that I couldn’t find a place for? Do you have any match-up ideas that I might not have thought of? That’s all, have a great day!

[theoreticallyliving]

My Rose Quartz au is finally here!!!

i really wanted it to be Vern/Brent but i think it'd have to be Vern/Nick solely for characterization purposes

...Brent can play the role of Pearl

Sophist will have his own defined role

obv they won't be gems, but archetype wise

pretty long post under the cut lol, be warned!

so for Vern i imagine that he's like an angel prince of sorts, and Brent is like a knight/bodyguard to him. I like to imagine that the angels only recently (past couple hundred years) discovered Earth (the angel world is not heaven, the angels are born angels). as they observe it and the creatures that live on it, Vernias falls in love with the life on the planet, especially humans. he finds them so fascinating, and Brent, the simp that i've decided he is, takes him down to a small village for his birthday :3

they find a demon there, Eevee, who was sent up to earth to cause chaos but was lowkey uninformed and thought he was completely fired & banished from [underworld]. when Brent and Vern meet him at first, they're shocked because this doesn't really look like a human? they did research and this is new?? there's probably a small bit about the fact that there's ANOTHER new world, but that's not that important so i'm not gonna dwell on that. after their short adventure on earth, they head back up to the angel world (side note, i need a name for this place i have literally no ideas for it)

The rest of the royals/council/whatevers are PISSED, and Vern is in huge trouble for ditching his princely duties. he would be banned from leaving the castle, and be under constant surveillance. they also question Brent about this, and find that Vern's attachment to him can potentially be used as a threat, a future punishment. if he runs off again, Brent will be replaced.

this is sort of the start of the first major character arc Vernias would have, where he realizes that the way he's being treated is toxic, verging on abusive. he later has some sort of argument with like the king or wtv, and while pleading his case to just be let down to earth every once in a while, it evolves into him getting his title revoked and being exiled from the kingdom/castle/i need to do more world building so that i understand what it would mean to be exiled. this is sort of Patroclus in The Song of Achilles vibes in this small moment, but also Grian in Watcher lore? because rather than faking his death he's discarded?? idk

Brent goes with him, obviously, and they decide to go back to earth. they find Sophist again, and they basically adopt him into their makeshift family :3 and they move into a beach house together! Vern and Brent have no concept of "money" or "bills" but Sophist knows capitalism and is technically a millionaire (haha capitalism evil it's so subtle guys) so they straight up don't have to think about it lol

Vernias, while exploring their cute little town by himself, meets Nick! he's still gonna be a musician because this is almost fully inspired by the song What Can I do for You? but before that, Vernias brings Nick back to the house and introduces him to the boys, and around this is when we have BRENT JEALOUSY ARC JUMPSCARE 💥💥💥 where we see a lot of the competitive nature of Brent and Nick's relationship, but it's morphed to be really toxic rather than their more lighthearted competition that they have irl

that's sort of happening more in the background, while in the forefront of this we watch how Vern and Nick's relationship grows. Nick introduces him to a bunch of cute little restaurants and cafes and carnivals and stuff like that, basically showing him a bunch of earth customs (he's taking him on datesss) :3 i think he would also often play songs for him, like he plays guitar like Greg does in SU, so sometimes he'll just play him little love songs (this gives me an excuse to make a playlist hehehe)

and then we get to the What Can I Do For You moments!!! it plays out how it does in the actual song, except instead of fusing, Brent and Vern do some fancy air choreography or smth idk

and then ofc we have Nick realizing that, wait, Vern doesn't take him or their relationship seriously (ie. "i like the way human being play, i like playing along") and he confides in Eevee about this, who is probably not very helpful about it, but idk cuz at this point i don't know what Nick would do about this but it would be something dramatic i think

anyways then Vern has his second(?) character arc where he realizes humans are more complicated creatures than he thought, and they have a probably really fuckin long conversation about how their relationship would progress

they live happily ever after but i'm still working out exactly how it's going to happen, but yeah! that's the jist of my au, lemme know what y'all think!!

so sorry again for long post, it will probably happen again 😔

[halcome]

Oh gods I didn't even realize it was Saturday, new Wild Life ep let's go!!! Wooo!!!

(reacting as I watch below)

Gonna do my heart a favor and just edit this post as I watch, seems to be a calm session but with the speed mechanics its only a matter of time before I see someone run off a cliff. Still recovering from the snails, small morsels of content are a must.

Grian's Wild Life Ep. 4

Grian and Mumbo doing their best to help Skizz murder is a delight as always, but I feel like their plans always seem to benefit them in the end and not Skizz.

Already terrified of the minecart cannon Grian made and I dont think theyre fast enough yet to launch it far.

Made some breakfast, some scrambled eggs with peppers and a side of, OMG SCAR

I probs should've guessed he'd immediately put a tnt minecart down to test it but everyone was so close by, gave me a lil scare. Also does Mumbo not have self preservation instincts? Cause everyone backed up but he kept staring at it, barely inching away. Guessing his redstone and curiosity instincts were stronger than his need to stay yellow.

Grian: Mumbo, is the moon fast?

Omg he said the line!

If I remember correctly speed + tnt minecart = more power, Grian holding up a shield was a good effort but dear lord that was quite the death.

Genuinely, what on earth just happened?

Mumbo died the most Looney Toon death I've ever seen, running for water and turned to ash. Scar was an absolute menace too, shooting Grian off that ledge was a very Hot Guy move. I wonder if he'll make it to the very end? I know Grian's targeting Scar now but something tells me he's gonna survive by sheer dumb luck.

SmallishBeans' Wild Life Ep. 4

Cool guys don't look at explosions! Something, something, TNT takes 4 seconds to explode. Timings are demolished.

8:00 Joel on his ballerina arc.

Took a break to finish homework, came back to Jimmy trying to take a chunk out of Joel's "somewhere" ??? Usual shenanigans it seems.

Seen Skizz frolicking in the sunflowers twice now from 2 different viewpoints, he's really enjoying his time on a death game server, proud of em.

Absolutely loving how proud everyone is of Mumbo getting a kill, always nice to see the little reminders that even though this is a death game of bloodshed and betrayal they're still friends in the end. Though I have seen clips of Bdubs holding grudges, so while everyone is friend shaped, they are not forgive and forget shaped.

Joel giving so many diamonds to Lizzie is incredible. Man's forever smitten with his missus. Lizzie the absolute queen!

Absolute chaos at the end with how Joel edited it. I know it was technical difficulties but it just fits so well with how chaotic it was.

Mumbo Jumbo's Wild Life Ep. 4

I know Mumbo placed the creeper from Grian's POV but goodness he's a little rascal given the chance.

Omg that Scott kill though was smooth as heck. He waited so long and it paid off big time. Little block break and plop, there goes the Scott! Absolutely loved how simple it went, the silence from Scott as his brain caught up to him was amazing too. I gotta watch his POV next for sure!

Is it just me or is Mumbo really going after Scott? Tasted blood and immediately became addicted to the one source. If Mumbo ends up being the reason Scott's out of the series ima laugh. The amount of paranoia Scott would have by the end of it would be immense.

And he gave up... Welp, can't wait to see him try and kill Gem next session!

why tango

Now THAT is a good question that you will regret asking because I have several thoughts and feelings about this :D

My journey with Tango started in the same place as so many: Double Life. Misty told me I'd enjoy Ranchers, so I watched Jimmy's pov because my main at the time was Grian (he's still my number 2 guy) and he'd interacted a lot more with Jim than Tango (in the Life Series, anyway, which was all I was watching at that time), and it's easier for me to watch people I'm already at least a little familiar with. It was all downhill there.

I don't remember exactly how I got so sucked in, if I'm being honest. I can, however, tell you exactly why.

The easiest part of the answer is the fire. I don't call myself the fire queen for nothing; I have an unhealthy obsession with the stuff: I think it's gorgeous, and love how it can be destructive and creative, and have spent many many hours thinking about the fact that it isn't actually a thing, it's damn near to an illusion. When I was a kid, I was afraid of it, because subconsciously I knew I didn't possess the self control not to reach out and touch it if I got too close, because it is just that beautiful. I still stay away from bonfires. Tango, of course, is the fire guy (when he's not too busy being a bug). The moment I saw fanart of him and clocked he had fire hair, I was already intrigued, cause that's a character design I've always loved.

The next part is his style. He's silly, he's almost always having fun, he laughs easily and smiles often and loves his friends. He makes silly noises, he doesn't worry about being cool or anything like that, he screams like a little girl and owns it. He is so rarely serious. But even then, even in the chaos, he has such a calming voice that I can't help but relax. When I just need to chill a bit, I know I can stick on a Tango video and destressificate while still having a lot for fun.

The times when he is serious, it's when he's being a super-genius, and I love those times so so much. I've said before that my favourite Tango moment was the mathification in Is That Sheep Looking At Me, and I also loved when he was explaining the binary system in his factory as well. I've been working through his season 9 in my free time and every time he explains redstone is so fascinating, even though I barely understand redstone stuff. I can follow along well enough in the moment while he's explaining, and that is enough to keep me hooked, whether or not I'll be able to replicate it or even figure out individual components later on. And he does it without making the viewer feel stupid, he's just explaining the facts. He never comes across as arrogant or like he even knows he's as smart as he is; you get the idea he doesn't care at all, he's just having fun with his touys.

(Long ass paragraph in coming) One of the biggest reasons why Tango, though, is the fact that he is so similar to me in basically every single way. His self-deprecating comments and his desire to be perfect, unhealthy as they are, are also incredibly relatable to so many people, I know. I think I've always seen myself in him a bit, as long as I've been watching him, but (I've mentioned this before as well) the first time I actively thought, "Oh, he's me" was 4 May 2024 (over a year ago, goodness my gracious). This was the MCC season 4 kick-off event, this was the event where the Pink Parrots was Team TIES, and this was one of my first TangoTek streams, if not the very first. This was Tango unfiltered, unedited, unglamorised (unintentional as the glamorisation in editing may be, it remains still). Right at the start of Sands of Time (literally sixty seconds in), he was being attacked by zombies and tried to go down a ladder to escape them, but got stuck and killed. He thought it was a stupid death, and beat himself up over it to the point where he off his game for the entire rest of Sands of Time. Every minor inconvenience upset him, causing him to play sloppier and sloppier. When TIES did poorly in that game, he blamed himself entirely. It felt like he was trying to stop himself from either crying or breaking things, and took him until almost the start of Dodgebolt to be able to laugh with the others again. I know I'm going into a lot of detail about this, but it is so important to me, because that reaction, that negative loop, was something I recognised so clearly in myself, well enough that I could almost narrate exactly what he was thinking, even though he was completely silent for most of the game out of frustration. I could almost hear him beating himself up, working himself up more and more. That was the moment I realised just how similarly our brains worked, and that I could write him so so easily by just basically putting myself in the shoes of whatever Situation I was putting him in (not a perfect carbon copy, obviously, but close enough). This moment is also so important to me because of how the other three reacted. They never blamed him, never got upset or annoyed with him that he was blaming himself or that any of it happened, they weren't even talking about it. They all told him it wasn't his fault, let him explain himself, then moved on. They didn't push him to rejoin their conversation until he was ready, nor did they tell him he was overreacting, even though he kind of was. They just told him they didn't blame him, then gave him space to work through it himself. That bothered me at first until I thought about it for like two seconds, because what I personally would have wanted was for them to try comfort me, but that would have been what I needed, nor was it what Tango needed, and that spoke volumes to me, both about Tango about about Team TIES in general. They are such good friends, and trust each other so much, that they knew exactly what he needed, and no one had any doubt Tango would pull through. I can't quite explain why that detail contributes to why Tango, I just know it does. I think a lot of it could be, If he can get that then so can I. That is just one example, of course, but there are so so many situations where he does exactly the same thing I would do or reacts the same way I would. He has a very similar sense of humour to me as well, which also definitely helps. If you want a mostly accurate approximation of me, take Tango and add in Gem's bloodlust and joy of the kill (but keep Tango's pvp prowess) and specifically tamn!Grian's general vibe and you've got me.

The final nail in the coffin of my sanity, I think, was Watcheraurora's Even Ice Walls Fall Down fic, where Tango was written as ADHD. I read this shortly after learning that there is a history of ADHD in my family and my suspicions about myself weren't unfounded and were in fact 100% accurate, so that immediately rewrote my brain chemistry. He went from a cool guy that I relate to My Guy, and I was immediately cooked.

And that's not even MENTIONING his awesome character design (apart from him being a fire guy). Like THIS GUY??? He looks so awesome all of the time!!!

(I got trapped in. Several rabbit holes. Getting those images. I scrolled the entirety of half of those blogs lmao.) (Anyway, designs belong to @/eydilily @/kitsuneisi @/lunarcrown @/wasyago @/mellioops @/hybbart respectively) (edit: sorry for the pings, I hyperfixated too close to the sun and forgot a lot of people don't like to be tagged lol)

Anyway this has been a TangoTek propaganda post. I locked in so hard that I forgot to make dinner that I am supposed to be eating in. Ten minutes. This also took several hours longer than it should have because I had way too much fun scrolling Tango designs and forgot what I was doing. Does that answer your question?

[magpigment]

the thematic parallels of martyn picking his battles and staying out of certain conflicts/having the upper hand because he listens in on conversations compulsively and frequently, versus grian getting INTO conflicts and battles and shenanigans because he can’t help but watch constantly and usually gets caught, and when he doesn’t get caught he ends up meddling anyway and causing even more chaos.

 fundamentally, martyn does joke around, he does things for the hell of it, but ultimately he always has some plan, is always wary, and is willing to do whatever it takes to see the games through to the end; his goal is just making it out, no matter the cost. martyn only listens as a means to an end- he’s more than capable of surviving in other ways, as he’s proven by being one of the last four players on the server the past Three Life Games, but he’s compelled to listen, to play it safe, to be underestimated. martyn doesn’t really care about any of his allies, not truly. he’d betray most in a heartbeat, honestly, if we don’t count ren. and even then, if it came down to either martyn or ren, while martyn would pick himself any day, ren is the one ally i think he truly, deeply cared about. it’s a life or death situation, and martyn treats it as such, picking his loyalties but never dying for them. 

grian, however, does what is interesting, what is appealing; a lot of what he does is a performance, progressing the plot; he’s both the consumer and the producer of the entertainment. grian loves watching, it’s a part of who he is, but he loves playing the game for what it is, loves influencing the outcome, far more. grian treats the world like the game it is, but his loyalties run deep

martyn the listener trying to survive v grian the watcher in it for the ride.

Life Series Team-Ups I Really Wanna See:

- Tango + Joel

I could see them egging each other on if say they have beef with someone else (probably Scott knowing Joel), like two mad dogs without their leashes except they take turns being the mad dog, until they're both red that is :) They probably wouldn't make it until the end but it would still be fun watching their shenanigans. Plus, with the building skills from both, they could probably make a pretty sick base. Not to mention they cover each others blind spots what with Tango's redstone skills and Joel's pvp being quite good.

- Etho + Scar

The pair of them are wildcards so them teaming up would be the ultimate chaos combo. They also balance each other out sort of with Ethos chaos being more controlled and Scars chaos being more erratic and varying degrees of severity. Scar would get Etho to cause chaos more frequently and Etho would get Scar to A) Think it out properly and not just burn everything on a whim and B) Take precautions to not lead it back to them. Although there is a possibility they will betray each other, aslong as they don't base in or near a tree that is Ethos they should be a-ok for the most part 👍. I feel like this team-up is more unlikely than some of the others on this list but I'd still love to see it happen.

- Cleo + Jimmy

Girlboss meets wet cat, the ultimate combo. Although to be fair Jimmy was causing proper damage left and right in Secret Life so together they could probably be quite the duo. Although they will just make a lot of enemies very quickly so they gotta make allies and get geared up sharpish if they don't wanna be eliminated first; lookin at you canary >_> I don't see pvp being their strong suit so their best bet would be to rely on defence like armour and traps. Also a duo that talks a lotta shit; thing is, only one of them can get away with it. Jimmy would probably also be too scared to betray Cleo so fingers crossed there's no repeat of Last Life.

- Skizz + Scott + Grian

The get-shit-done trio. I could definitely see this trio lasting until the end with all their tendencies to make and uphold alliance's. Grian would likely be the planner, Scott provide the resources, and Skizz as #1 hype man. Also have a feeling that Scar would be at the top of their kill list. And again with two builders they could get a really cool base going. Not sure what their team name could be but Scott would likely be the one to come up with it. Aslong as they have loyalty to each other, which I've no doubt they will have, they could be a great team.

- Bdubs + Martyn

What with their willingness to go along with crazy plans and bits, this duo could get up to some shenanigans and a half lemme tell ya. I could also see them lasting a while. Bdubs would likely be a base-dweller with building the actual base and defences whilst Martyn gets the needed resources to get ahead of the other teams. Also quick to establish alliances and enemies. I feel like they'd settle on a mountain. Also a Martyn betrayal would go crazy against the ever loyal Bdubs.

- Impulse + Pearl

This duo is mainly because of how Scott's teammates usually go on to win either the current season or the next season and neither Gem nor Impulse has won it yet, paired with how Pearl has tried and sadly failed the past two seasons to get her teammates to win, she could very well break her curse if she pairs up with the most-likely to win in terms of Scott statistics. If they put their heads together they could make a really defence-able base, like Pearl's tower in Double Life, so they don't need to worry about head-to-head combat. Not to mention they're both great with a bow. I imagine Pearl could snipe some kills from up high whilst Impulse triggers redstone traps and the like. Their team name could be Pulse. This duo would definitely get far but I don't see both of them being in the final three; with any luck Impulse is the one in the final three again.

- Scar + Lizzie

I feel like they would talk a lotta shit but then that would lead to them being underestimated so it's all that more unexpected when they show they can wack a lotta shit too. Likely won't last until the end though. Plus it would be quite fitting what with them two being the loners of secret life to join up in the next season. I know this pairing is more unlikely given how Lizzie has only been in two seasons but still. Also I could totally see their base being a castle of sorts with Lizzie as the queen and Scar as her advisor. They'd also both get into and out of situations by swindling and sweet-talking. Speaking of, them first teaming up would likely be Scar trying to swindle Lizzie and then teaming up with her perhaps as a sorry and then it just kinda sticks; think Mean Gills kinda start.

- Ren + Gem

First off, their names rythme so instantly they're a great duo. Admittedly since Gem has only been in one season I can't really predict what her dynamic would be with, well, the majority of the members but I'm thinking tamed dog + rabid deer kinda thing. Their base would likely involve nature and they're probably gonna be either allied or enemies with Scott, no in-between.

- Etho + Mumbo

Ah yes, the duo that collectively knows niche and important things about the game, majority of it being about redstone and mob farms, but have no clue when it comes to basic things; like crafting fishing rods (cough cough Etho). I don't think they'd make it until the end but they'd get quite far I imagine. Probably would be allied with Grian in some way or another. I think they'd also both agree to keep an eye on Cleo but only because they're both intimidated of her. Like in Last Life I think Mumbo would be the stay-at-home husband whilst Etho socialises and gets resources. Plus I could see them getting stuff like end crystals and other things. I feel like Etho would come up with plans and Mumbo would go along with it no questions asked. But considering their curses, Mumbo probably will succumb to a lava or fire death. They may also get a teammate I'm not sure who though if Grian is already in an alliance. Perhaps Bdubs; I mean that's basically what happened in both Limited and Secret Life. Again like Lizzie, this duo is less likely given how Mumbo has also only been in two seasons but we can pray🙏.

Propaganda masterpost for desertduo

They are two idiots thinking eachother's udeas are good and then somehow winning

They are two idiots thinking eachother's udeas are good and then somehow winning

They don’t have a single brain cell between them. They poked the goat to “see what would happen” and ended up getting their bases covered in duped ender dragon eggs.

Particularly in Hermitcraft, they are the most chaotic together. Chaotic in the most stupid of ways. Example: they blew up an intricate machine from one of the most "threatening" people on the server, stopped posting for a while, tried fixing it and failed, and tried apologizing with diamonds (Grian), theme park gifts (Scar), and by calling the victim "handsome" and "smart" and everything they could think of. And THEN, when Doc (the victim) retaliated with very intricate pranks that take a lot of skill and knowledge, they teamed up, went to the perimeter they were banned from as their alter egos as a loophole, and FILLED the ENTIRE PLACE (and it's a ginormous hole down to bedrock, many chunks wide) with CHICKENS. Just. A lot of chickens. Chickens everywhere. Oh my god. And another thing. Grian loves pressing buttons, like ADORES it (that's how the machine broke in the first place) and Scar... well. He gets confused easily and also breaks a lot of machines. So when people in the server build stuff, they have to both Grian-proof it (make sure an overexcited person who loves pressing buttons won't break the system) and Scar-safe it (make sure it's easily understandable and won't be broken like that). But now they also have to GRIAN-AND-SCAR-PROOF their stuff, because i swear, they multiply each other's dumbassery like by 100. And all that is just from the current arc of Hermitcraft season NINE. If we go back to season eight for a second, Grian decided to fake being AFK in all his friends' bases, and when he got to Scar's, Scar built him a ROLLERCOASTER RIDE to the BOAT TOTEM (boatem) HOLE THAT GOES BEYOND BEDROCK. People constantly fell there in the season and it was hell gearing themselves back up. But Scar was sure they were gonna land on the boatem and thought Grian was asleep because of time differences. But he failed and both died either way. And good fucking thing Grian was watching it all happen. Scar was SINGING him a SONG. You could even HEAR HIM COMING UP WITH IT BEFORE THE ACTUAL RIDE. Scar by FAR had the BEST reaction to the AFK experiment. And GODDD they're such idiots together. Unless they're in it for survival (aka the Life series) in which case Grian basically becomes his nanny let's be real. Scar is way too prone to die. He dies literally all the time and someone's gotta have him on a leash.

grian thinks that hes the responsible one in the dynamic but really hes just as much a chaos gremlin as scar is

they enable each other constantly. fellow builders to friends to enemies to friends to enemies to f

they share two braincells with each other and they do not work half the time. The number of things they fucked up is not even countable. One of them will be like "I'll save you!" and then both of them need someone to come and save them. They also are connected at the hip and love to annoy each other and other people so so much. they need help

They are so. so. Pesky british bird who loves explosions and has an attention span of 2 + catboy scammer who likes to lick magic and die badly. They are perfect for each other and their friendship is so precious to me. They are canonically soulmates. Currently theyre camping out on the edge of their enemy's giant hole because they accidentally exploded his machine together while Grian was procrastinating. The situation escalated because Grian likes war and Scar likes chaos so now theyre sitting directly in the path of their enemy's giant TNT-pooping goat mecha. Their plan? Build a buttercup-themed mecha to fight it because buttercups are poisonous to goats

They have caused a lot of chaos and destruction due to their lack of braincells /pos

Scar dragged Grian to the desert on a llama to monopolize on its sand, they blew up their friend’s tunnel bore, and rode a roller coaster together. They just bounce a braincell back and forth basically.

They ping pong a brian cell between each other and the few times it produces a thought the idea is always a bad one

they have two brain cells between them and they are not sure where they left them, they actively search for trouble and act sincerely shocked when it bites them on the ass, very orange cat coded if you ask me

Things only work out for them by pure luck. They both think they have the braincell and will be the one to pull each other through but they are both wrong. Tripping over their own feet and stumbling so hard and yet still coming out on top just because the others fall over harder

They get in a room together and its like all braincells disappear. They blew up their neighbors redstone, they filled his base with thousands of chickens, they die nonstop, they bully the other (in a friendly way) constantly and then do the exact same thing, theyre dunbasses ur honor

Theyre literally, just an echochamber of dumb. They actively lose braincells when around eachother. Grian seems smart and calculated but he can never get anything to work properly and scar is just an absolute hazard to himself and grian tries to keep him safe. They both die in minecraft so much. Grian also just has a habit of pressing every button lever or chest he ever sees. Even if its an obvious trap. He breaks stuff so easily. Grian WILL press the big button on top of the tnt block thats in plain sight. Especially right after scar says "i wonder what that does". Theyre duo can be summed up to trickster dumbass and dumbass with a heart of gold. They literally started a prank war by accidentally blowing up someones redstone. They are the unattended children on every server theyre in.

long live the science bros.

One owed the other a life debt for killing them with a creeper (it was just a prank, bro) and so they spent the season trying to monopolize all of the sand in a desert, and that's jusr scraping the surface of how stupid they are.
