Going with the "Grian is the one who designed this game as opposed to the others" headcanon, it makes you think about the superpowers he gave his friends, how they were all laughing and having fun in the beginning, and that was intentional. It goes to show that even when forced to design the death game his friends are put through (a punishment for trying to usurp the Watchers time and time again), he still cares. They all know he's the one who designed this game, and he hopes they realize the little mercies he's giving them.

He gives Cleo the power to bring people back from the dead, just so he can have a chance to see his best friend again.

He gives Pearl the power to fly, and hopes she appreciates having her wings back, if only for a short time.

Jimmy gets to go invisible because Grian knows the Watchers aren't happy with the curse being broken. He wants to protect him.

As for Martyn? Grian doesn't really know a lot about what's going on with him and the Listeners, but he might as well try to strengthen that connection in the little ways he can without arising suspicion.

He says it himself in the beginning, "let's not forget this is a PVP series," but it sounds hollow even to his own ears. It's pandering to the watching eyes, making them think the lighthearted fun is all unintentional.

He falls out of the sky with the wings he gave to Pearl, and he wonders if the Watchers are starting to catch on.

Day 124 What are LISTENERS like?

Some ideas for Martin are from arts that I saw anywhere

Also any ideas for Listeners are really appreciated!

[goysus]

something I need to say… GRIANS POWER BEING STEALING OTHER POWERS AND MARTYNS POWER BEING LISTENING???? Brother! Watcher and listener. Grian spends half his time just sneaking around being invisible (in three different ways) and watching everyone and then steals their power to use for himself. Martyn is just a listener. Literally nothing else to that. Bro listens. I feel like it’s so fitting and I love it. Plus, martyn and grian’s phone call is adorable. If martyn does the fake-out instead of lore again I won’t be disappointed, just mad.(joking)

Welp. Too bad. Anyways, time to switch povs

Rendog will not be returning for Limited Life.

This comic was inspired by this ask by the way!

Still obsessing over these guys’ lore

Version without text:

[cuterrguy]

Watcher!Grian and Listener!Martyn designs :D

Small details I want to point out:

Martyn’s wings are Ender Dragon wings! Don’t really have a reason for giving him them, I just thought they looked nice

Grian’s Hermit wings are parrot ones, his Watcher wings are more equivalent to raven/crow wings

Grian’s eyes are covered in his Watcher design, but visible in his Hermit design, meanwhile Martyn’s mouth isn’t visible in either design :) Take from that what you will

The key around Grian’s neck is just from his shops on HC. Whether it’s the entity, Grain Train, or whatever/ whatever season I’m inserting him in, the key is just to that specific shop

Had a lot of fun coming up with these! Will probably do more, I think Pearl is next on my list to draw 👀

The Void Watcher. Not to be confused with the Eyes of the Void.

A possible design of Higher Watcher Martyn, for a possible future arc of LARL. Possible.

[ckarlova]

I’ve been doing some studies.

[echodrawsthings]

paper Martren doodles, I choose to believe he forcefully made himself look like Martyn because I like angst normally

Not incorrect quotes but from a chat me and my friend had yesterday

also bonus autocorrect failure from yesterday under the cut:

for a bit of context she was asking me to send her something

An au I've been thinking about the lore for for a while but still have no plot so instead of a story you get my ramblings:

(Not mentioned in this post but this au does deal with self harm)

There's two different types of gods, gods confined to one dimension and multidimensional gods. One dimensional gods aren't really important to this, but they involve ESMP s2 Joel, s1 Lizzie and Jimmy, Aeor and Exor, Santa Perla, etc.

The only really important ones in this au are the multi dimensional ones, which there are three types of. Watchers and Listeners like normal, but also a third type that's based on Gem's ESMP s2 character called Walkers. As the name suggests, Walkers can move between worlds to carry out the Watchers will.

There's three gods on the traffic smp, Grian is a rebel Watcher, Martyn is a Listener, and Gem is an escaped Walker. All Walkers are wolf hybrids because they're kind of seen as guard dogs to the Watchers, it's basically a cult to be honest.

Gem and Grian didn't grow up together, but after he ran away, Gem was assigned to keep an eye on him, and that's how she got on Hermitcraft. Grian pretty much took one look at her and said "is anyone going to get her therapy?" When Grian heard she was being put into the life series and that the theme of the series was basically the Watchers giving orders, he saw a chance to help her escape their grasp. The Boogeyman task was specifically made for her so see how evil they were, he didn't count on how good she was at following directions.

Martyn is a Listener, unlike Walkers, Listeners are completely separate from the Watchers. Martyn was sent to keep the life series chaotic for the purposes of making sure it ends and the people aren't stuck in the Watcher's world forever.

I'm honestly obsessed with the whole "existing just to serve other people" thing right now. For her entire immortal life, Gem was taught to completely disregard her own emotions, the idea of even considering herself, much less prioritizing herself is such a foreign concept to her.

I kinda want to rant about how Grian and Gem grew up more because they're so traumatized so if someone could conveniently send me an ask about that I would be forever in your debt /j (I'm going to make the post either way because this is my blog and I get to talk to myself on here)
