#matching clocks with bdubs

[acidwolfhusky]

This is the most normal I've ever drawn Bdubs. He's so cute! (Yes, I know the clock doesn't match the lighting, I messed it up)

Day seven: BdoubleO (Sleepy eepy)

[goingdownorup]

Thinking about limited life again.

It made sense Etho went with TIES.

Etho went with TIES because he’s comfortable with the three of them. Because even though Bdubs was there when Scar asked if Etho could be their dad, Etho wasn’t comfortable enough with Scar and Cleo to even attempt…whatever they were trying to do with him at first. He had been with Tango and Skizz once before, and Impulse and him worked really close together the previous game, even if it was mainly for Etho and Bdubs benefit. It was based around being comfortable with each other.

All three of them knew Etho’s flaws. All three of them were well aware of Etho’s bias to Bdubs, and honestly, used it to their advantage. All three of them knew how to work around that, how to plot under Etho’s nose and sometimes even in front of him if it meant Etho could keep plausible deniability. They knew his strengths too, his loyalty, his mind. His mob farm was probably the biggest supplier of gunpowder that season, for everyone. The flaws and strengths didn’t matter as much as the fact that Tango, Skizz, and Impulse all wanted him on the team, and that the team never felt like it was fracturing. It wasn’t two and two like BEST was, it was four strong from the beginning. It was comfortable, because all three of them wanted Etho there. Not just Bdubs, not just Scar for a bit, SIT was prepared to do what it took for Etho to commit to their team up.

And maybe, that’s why it hurts so much that they had Etho take the final kill for Skizz.

They had built a comfortable place for Etho and now they were asking him to destroy that. Etho could go back to TIES tower and be greeted by people he KNEW were friends and allies. These guys would never betray Etho, just like he would never betray them. All three of them had the same kind of loyalty that Etho has, self-destructive in the name of character. Etho had just been hunted and hunting his own family down for time, getting knocked down time and time again and had finally come back to his home with his tail between his legs. He was panicked, more panicked than normal with his clock ticking down at the corner of his screen, he was walking into a scene half done and taking it over with a frustrated cry, which isn’t something Etho usually does.

But he did, because he felt comfortable doing so.

And then Skizz throws him the ax, Tango acts like someone shot his dog, and Impulse just stares.

And suddenly, it's not comfortable anymore.

It’s not comfortable that Impulse is one step away from dissociating. It’s not comfortable that Tango has tears trailing down his face, that both of them look almost angry that Etho picked up the ax in the first place. It’s horribly jarring, to come into a meeting expecting comfort for his failures and be greeted with a worse opportunity.

Because Skizz- the nicest guy in this match, the man who looked at Etho and said “i want him to join us”- is telling Etho to kill him. Ordering him to, actually, his final order of the game. No amount of pleading looks will get Tango and Impulse to do what Skizz wants done, Etho’s only defense is quickly shut down when they bring up just how much time Etho still had.

It’s not comfortable to see Skizz’s head roll off the edge of skynet. It’s not comfortable, the next session, when Impulse and Tango look to him for leadership. This game wasn’t meant to be comfortable, and Etho forgot about that. TIES was the most comfortable team up for him, and in the end, it created one of the most heart wrenching ends for all of them.

Watched the HCs9 blood in the clock tower from Gem’s perspective and I think the hermits should find even more excuses to play social deduction games. Took notes on game 2

Gem and then Impulse are the first two ghosts. Pretty cute, since he made himself a target by nominating on her behalf. Soup group vouch is in every game <3

Hypno role reveals day 0 to Gem, confirming them both as innocents, and she uses that info as social credit to get several other people to trust her. Despite outing his business, she’s also able to convince him to go against Keralis, along with Joe and False. (And in fairness, Hypno knows she's innocent, so serving as her pawn only helps the winning side. Fun that he doesn't complain though)

Gem brings a “I don’t believe any of you” vibe to every conversation and she’s usually right

The three most vocal players, Ren Keralis and BDubs, all avoid Gem during the talking phase. This comes back to bite them, as she’s able to commune with the quiet good guys and decide votes before they even happen

^ Crazy sequence where Keralis and Ren try to execute BDubs, but are the only two to vote. Five minutes ago, Gem had spread her theory that those two were evil. Ren is then executed unanimously

Pearl gets Hotguy’d in the background, and then a few minutes later she gets revenge on Scar. This isn’t relevant I just like it

Gem uses her one single ghost vote early to kill Ren, who False vouched for as not the imp. I’m not entirely convinced it wasn’t just to silence Ren. Either way, Ren was an evil servant, so a win nontheless. Her passive perception is too high

Continuing their dynamic in every situation, Gem clocks False’s sus game immediately and doesn’t let her fade into the background. False of course is playing several layers of identities, but Gem forces her to unravel her conspiracy and reveal her true (innocent) role. Amazing

In contrast, Gem implicitly trusts Xisuma “because he’s just like that.” He was the Drunk, aka his role was fake, feeding him only incorrect info. Poor X

Honorable mention to BDubs playing his first match in session 2 and getting publicly targeted by the evil side

Joe, Gem, and False, are playing on an entirely separate level than everyone else, but with distinctly different tones. Joe understands group dynamics and swaying the group opinion, Gem is a single warlord directing everyone’s swords, and False is an enigma uncovering information while revealing none herself. They are terrifying and I need them to work together to save the world or something

The recent 3D Among Us was also fun <3 Gem "I like winning through my words, not murder" she's so cool.

Bdubs!!! Had a lot of fun with this one

Check out the comic :D

-yes I changed the colour of the clock from gold to silver. It just looked better.

-don't ask me why he has pointy ears. He just deserves them.

-Heels because he loves horses a lot. (or that's what he says when asked. It's also to be taller. But mostly the horses.)

-No I didn't design the daggers cause he's never going to be shown using them and I am. Lazy. They would match Etho's daggers, and he's not gonna be using them either.

-...you can probably tell who's going to be using their weapons by how much detail I give them... oh well.

-shortest one yet (will probably change once I do chapter two, where Grian appears)

-Cape was also a wedding gift

-Yes, Impulse has a matching clock. Assume what you will.

-the funnest to draw in my opinion. I just really like his cape. He can close it around him and become one with the moss.

When Martyn had walked in on Cleo carving a statue late into the night, they had been on full defence mode ready to defend their hobby to him, but to her surprise his eyes widened in awe, crossing the room in quickly strides to admire what she was working on.

It was a horse statue, a gift she was making for Bdubs, and while it was mostly ready for the painting stage she still had a little carving to go. Martyn didn’t seem phased by the fact it was unfinished however, eyes sparkling with curiosity.

“I didn’t know you made statues!” He turned to her after a moment, tone almost accusatory.

“You never asked?” Cleo shrugged him off, rolling her eyes.

“Well sorry I don’t ask people randomly ‘hey, you don’t happen to carve statues do ya?’” Martyn retorted with a matching eye roll.

“Well maybe you should,” Cleo said, biting back a laugh. “Besides, what are you doing here?”

“I was looking for you, Scotts gone mining and I was bored. I know Bdubs is with TIES and Scar went to go see Grian, I saw the two of them leaving on my way over, so I figured you’d be alone and bored too. Didn’t realise I was interrupting your work, I can go.” Martyn turned to exit the clock tower but Cleo called after him.

“Wait!” They shouted, surprising themself. She cleared her throat, “wait. You can stay, I’m almost done carving and then I’m gonna start painting. Do you want to help? It’s for Bdubs and I know he’s kind of fond of you, don’t tell him I told you but he said he was disappointed when you ended up teaming with Scott instead. He said our interactions when I burnt down the mansion were really fun and he wanted to spend more time with you. I think he wanted you to replace Etho,” they said with a soft laugh.

“Yeah,” Martyn said after a moment, smiling at her, “I guess I can stay.”

Cleo only slightly regrets their offer. But they know Martyn well enough that he wouldn't actually paint the horse purple if Cleo didn't want it. Not unless it was really funny... Which it probably would be but Cleo has to pretend it isn't. This is an earnest gift. Bdubs will be overjoyed to find out Martyn helped! Well, as long as-

"Martyn, stop drawing that dick right now-"

imp n skizz + 27... the besties. did you know skizz irl sometimes kisses impulse n the cheek. to annoy him

Send me a pairing + a number! || Accepting

27. A platonic kiss, Impulse/Skizz, 873 words

This may have been the greatest day of Impulse's life.

The exhilaration of starting anew had hit him full force. The space between seasons had been spent dreaming up builds of grandeur, and he was finally able to see what he was working with. Better still, he had a partner in crime to share his vision with. Providing Bdubs his first clock was a point of pride, and Bdubs had accepted it with promises of a great future ahead of them.

He'd made momentous progress. Maybe not on the scale of Doc and his villager operation, but the humble underground iron farm he and Tango constructed would serve them well. The land that would become a sprawling cyberpunk city was sectioned off. His strip mine was fruitful, piles of diamonds to be fashioned into armor and equipment as needed. Everything was coming up Impulse.

When the day was over, the rest was well-earned. The Mountaineers, as Scar had named them, reconvened to share dinner around the fire. He took the chance to wash up in the river- a water well would be a tomorrow project, once he had a place to lay his head that was more permanent than the blocked off mouth of his cave- and laid down for a good night's sleep.

...Any minute then.

Impulse rolled onto his back and sighed. It didn't feel right, and Impulse knew what was missing.

This may have been the greatest day of Impulse's life, because Skizz was there.

Skizz was there, and so much as thinking his name made the thread connecting them hum. Before Skizz was a hermit, when Impulse had been summoned and made the decision to stay, it was easy to ignore. The proximity now, though, made it impossible. His very soul knew its other half was near, and Impulse longed.

Skizz hadn't wanted to be coddled. He was determined to stand on his own two feet in this server of building gods and redstone masters. It was with full support that Impulse had agreed to let Skizz forge his own way, neighbors instead of roommates.

...But surely Skizz wouldn't mind a late-night visit, right?

Impulse relit the torches by his bedside. He didn't change, just throwing on his shoes. On his way to the door, he wondered if it would be worth taking his wings out. It would make the trip incredibly short, at the cost of nearly guaranteeing he'd spend all night at Skizz's. He wouldn't mind, but if Skizz did...

"Aaah!" A yell made Impulse jump as he opened the door, snapping him out of his thoughts. An equally startled Skizz stood in the doorway, a hand on his chest as he settled down. "You scared the dookie right outta me, dude," He said, heaving a breath, "Don't you know it's like, dumb o'clock in the morning? Nice jammies though," Skizz snickered.

Impulse snorted. Skizz was wearing a matching set. "These old things? Aw, they're nothin'," Skizz barks a laugh, and Impulse chuckles with him, a line of tension leaving his shoulders, "I know it's dumb o'clock in the morning, what're you doing at my front door?"

"Well I- y'know, I was in the neighborhood," Skizz started, wings held around his shoulders like a mantle, "And I'm thinkin' to myself, I think, y'know... I'm really feelin' it! And if I'm feelin' it, my best buddy over here, Mr. Impy Dimpy Dippledop, well, he's gotta be feelin' it too, right? Am I right? I bet I'm right," Skizz poked at Impulse's cheek.

Impulse huffed fondly, lightly smacking Skizz's hand away. Nobody could manage to be longwinded and straightforward like Skizz could. "I might've been on my way to yours for the same reason," Impulse admitted.

"Good thing I beat you then," Skizz cackled, "I don't have a bed yet!"

"Skizz!" Impulse laughed, "That's the first thing you do!"

"I was excited, okay? Some stuff fell through the cracks!" It only made Skizz laugh harder, "Are you gonna invite me in or not!"

"Okay, okay," Impulse placated once their laughter calmed into the occasional giggle. He stepped away from the doorway and gestured Skizz to follow him inside, "Come on in, make yourself at home. Don't forget to shut the door behind you."

Impulse heard the door close. The place was basic, really, meant for function over form. A double-wide bed, some chests for storage, and the simple wall that separated the space from the outside. There was a joke on the tip of Impulse's tongue, something about excusing a mess that wasn't there, but it's forgotten the moment he feels arms around him.

Arms, and then wings, warm and white and all-encompassing like a blanket settled around his very soul. If Impulse looked behind himself, he was sure Skizz's halo would be showing. In turn, Impulse's horns grew. Dark scales climbed up his arms where he held Skizz's arms across his chest, and his tail found purchase around Skizz's leg.

Skizz squeezed him in a hug, lowering his head to leave a kiss in Impulse's hair before burying his face in it with a content sigh that made Impulse want to melt into bed and never get up again.

"Yeah," Skizz mumbled, soft and tired, "This is home."

[hadau]

was chatting to a friend about the new wild life episodes and like all the superpowers seem really connected to the people they were given to, so i wanted to make a list of the connections i worked out and maybe open the discussion for what the other connections were cuz im super curious about it

ZombieCleo - makes zombies

BigB - creakings are literally his aesthetic rn

Smallishbeans - a jumping bean?

Geminitay - apparently the story of the star sign gemini links to the ability to alternate realms, but it could also be a phasmo thing

Etho - did that make you jump?

Bdubs - clocks.

Tango - Frozone, kinda matches his dungeon master aesthetic

Lizzie - shes the shadow lady

Jimmy - solidarity = invisible? kind of unsure on this

Scar - he said he wanted knockback punches... also saw some people suggesting the sitting on things was a set up for some scar style jokes

Martyn - literally a listener

Ren - roleplay is the only connection i can think of

Pearl - can literally only think of fanart of her with wings

Scott - no clue

Impulse - no clue

Grian - he kind of explained in his vid that its cuz he knew all the powers so ye

Hermit-A-Day May - Day 7: BdoubleO100

It's Bdubs day for day 7!!!

RMAU-Verse Bdubs is the Deity of Time... So, we get Time Deity Bdubs today!!! I knew I wanted him to have the sorta glowstone cloak like from Empires, because in RMAU-canon he got mistaken as a Sun Deity and just... rolled with it XD.

Design wise I took some inspiration from a couple different Empires Bdubs designs actually, particularly applestruda's (I'm scared to actually tag tonight I'm sorry), along with the halo having some minor inspiration from Sunday from Honkai Star Rail. The clock halo is actually one of my favorite parts of his design, alongside the hourglass staff - which were some of the defining features I came up with for the design before even looking for inspiration... I incorporated some blues and the silver on the staff to help balance out the "sun" vibes because he's the Deity of Time, not just the Sun or the Daytime, so he needed a little bit of nighttime vibes thrown in - plus it helped match his normal skin a little better too! All in all, I'm VERY pleased with how he turned out...

Also, I think I'm gonna go ahead and drop this little 1k snippet of RMAU Etho and Bdubs... It's just a silly little idea I had back in September and finally finished last night. Well, I say finished, but... I might add more as another chapter or so eventually, but I think this part stands alone just fine too... Anyways, here's the link...

limited life fic recs

Not really more of theme to this one than "Hey, check out this good good writing!" Been meaning to do this one for. Um. A while. Did my best not to repeat authors. If you're on this and don't want to be, let me know and I'll remove yours!

Fics On AO3:

Sundown; astronomeridian - Nobody fucks on the page in this one but you know it's gonna happen. The various alliances of Limited Life settle down for the night and talk around or about having sex. Really incredible character voice the whole way through (made particularly impressive by the fact that Every Character Is In This).

Gallant; zornographic - Grian/Etho-centric Knight AU, in which Grian, badly injured and fleeing for his life, runs into Etho, a strange knight offering to help him, in order to pay back a favour Grian did for him long ago. Really gorgeous turns of phrase applied with perfect precision, and lovely glimpses of a much bigger world that is alive and specific, that the characters feel genuinely rooted in.

Close to Your Chest; foxgloveblue (cornflowerdye) - Canon divergence where Joel and Etho are the last two standing at the end of Limited Life. The visual details in this one make it downright cinematic -- you can see the wreckage of the Bread Bridge, the light falling on them both. Special commendation for the characterization here too: Joel and Etho both clearly know each other well enough that it give us access to both of them in fun and interesting ways.

everything anyone ever ignored; Sixteenthdays - AU where when you kill someone, you get some of their traits. Really really fun for (1) quick, sharp prose and (2) glimpses into each of the character's unique experiences with Being In Their Body. There's a relentlessness that matches the vibes of Limited Life itself really well.

the lamb & the knife; errorryx - Cleo tells Pearl they're going to summon a goddess of war, and Pearl thinks about summoning something for herself. It's good fun! Admittedly, my idea of 'good fun' is mild body horror and considerations of animal and human sacrifice, but also fun are Pearl and Cleo's usual contentious relationship, and Pearl's usual degree of getting herself into trouble.

tempering; farrondoc - Grian/Etho platonic kink around Etho being Grian's sword! Captures their characters really well in a very short space.

Cam-account Parenting; litbynosun - Bdubs and Scar have been mysteriously and abruptly turned into little kids. Cleo has to handle this while chat fervently discusses what's going on in the background. Banger fic, script format with some fun bonus touches, great character voices, excellent fandom commentary on the horrors of being a woman in MCYT spaces.

Poison; jabberwockysoda - Etho takes up smoking; he and Cleo argue about it. Vibes of "we know and dislike each other but there is an intimacy and comfort in the knowing and the disliking" -- a very particular, almost worn-down tone that is set immediately and then maintained the whole way through.

fulgurite; Thunderbirds_and_Lightning - The Bad Boys' deaths. One of my all-time favourite depictions of the Limlife timers and one of my favourite endings to a Limited Life fic too. Lots of wonderfully creative imagery that draws on popular fanon without directly copying it; very fun.

With Soul Intent; salemoleander (heartbeatsinreverse) - Canon divergence where everyone's clocks stop in the middle of the game. Hilarious. Pitch-perfect character voice. Every beat hits. salemoleander is also on Tumblr and has a few Tumblr-exclusive Limited Life ficlets that are awesome, but which I could not include on this list due to rules of my little game. Check 'em out!

the here and now; doctorletmebebrace - Joel wakes up at home, on Empires S2, after his final death. Jimmy's there, and they talk. Makes me really tender about them, for all that they spend most of it arguing. Full of grief and regret and so much love.

Fics On Tumblr:

(Note: In cases where a fic has been posted both on AO3 and on Tumblr, I've linked the version that's on AO3. These are the ones I couldn't find on there.)

[Knives and forks clink against the dinner plates]; wisepuma23 - Boogeyman Impulse tries to sit through a normal meal with the rest of TIES. Forever and always a big fan of the intermingling of domesticity and violence, and the visceral onomatopoeia makes this really fun background drumbeat to Impulse's narration.

["Do you have a clock yet?"]; dmwrites - Impulse gives Bdubs a clock, and Cleo makes an addition. It's sweet! It also makes me sad. Good thoughts re: Impulse's relationship to Bdubs over time, from both Cleo and Impulse's perspectives.

[What are you?]; the-amber-shadow - The Watchers hound Martyn for an answer to the question of what his symbol is going to be after he wins Limited Life. I think this one's fun both as a historical artifact (what did we as a fandom consider for symbols, and thus how did we interpret/emphasize different parts of Martyn's victory), and I'm a big fan of metafic. Martyn arguing with Watchers-as-audience is a great way to do it!

[Gem Cleo watches Scott leave]; jellieland - Gem in Cleo's body has a chat with Martyn, and Martyn tells her something about why he teamed with Scott this time around. jellieland is a fantastic writer whose fics are invariably fascinating, well-written, and insightful, and I do recommend you check them all out, but I had to pick this one because I read it and could almost physically feel something clicking into place in my head -- everything I have written about Martyn+Cleo since this has been influenced by this fic.

[Joel's gone soft on him]; zedif-y - Jimmy reflects on this new side of Joel he's started seeing this season, while petting Joel's hair. It's soft. It's nice. Joel gets to take a nice nap and cuddle with Jimmy and Jimmy gets to think about all the things he knows about Joel.

[Joel dies with blood in his mouth]; alittlebirb - Joel dies. He's furious about it, and then he's not. Love the wild, frenetic energy of this one trailing off into something quieter, something like resignation -- fantastically paced.

[Bigb watches Grian for a while]; theminecraftbee - Bigb watches Grian do something that definitely isn't mourning, and definitely doesn't understand it. You don't know what an agony it was to have to narrow this down to Just One Theminecraftbee Fic. But I'm sure you could've guessed that. The thing that gets me about this one is Bigb and Grian have such history and see such interesting facets of each other, and their team-up in Limlife is this resigned kind of "Okay. This is what we're doing now." The melancholy is excellent.

Mean Gills Quarantine Zone:

(I like Mean Gills. A lot. So I have a lot of fic recs focused on them. So that's why this section. This should all be AO3 fics?)

Stop; KieIsWrite - After the end of Limited Life, Martyn tries to reckon with the aftermath of his actions. There are corpses. Things get grim. Scott's ghost is there, maybe. This one's horror, so mind the tags, but the horror comes in slow and quiet, and very interesting things are happening with the blurring of bodies-as-death and bodies-as-erotic.

hold the night; solarcafe - Scott and Martyn cuddle. That's it, that's the whole fic. Sweet, charming fluff!

Hush hush; WhyB - After moving the beds down into their secret base, Scott gets a little comfort and Martyn gets a little absolution. The Scott and Martyn hurt/comfort fic of your dreams! Hits every beat perfectly, and really, this author just does good hurt/comfort in general for every fandom they're in. Check 'em out!

I want to say I'm sorry for stuff I haven't done yet; the_hypercube - Scott and Martyn have a tense conversation over breakfast, while the ghosts of the Third Life alliances haunt them (figuratively). I love the thread of uneasiness running through this whole thing, pulling tighter and tighter but never getting to a breaking point. I love all the little domestic gestures against the backdrop of [This Is A Death Game And Things Are Getting Bad].

Requiescat; enemyofrome - Martyn walks out of the end of Limited Life and finds Ren, building the ice boat course on Hermitcraft. Martyn's not entirely free of the Watchers, of Scott, of his time in the games, but he and Ren will work it out. This is in the quarantine zone because I have to confess a disproportionate amount of my adoration for this fic is because of the excellent codependent Mean Gills, but the rest of it is because it is tender and well-characterized and beautifully written.

ears pressed to the floor; GoodTimesWithScar - Scott catches Martyn sewing the Dogwarts banner for his red life skin. Wonderfully melancholy, even as Scott and Martyn fall into their usual banter. I like how lonely it feels, even when they're standing right in front of each other -- they've got separate histories to contend with.

the cut of your love; soapflowers - Selkie AU! Martyn has Scott's pelt locked in a chest in his basement, and this is Fine. Really really good at maintaining a tenuous balance where nothing drastic has happened, but they both keep flirting with the precipice. The tags on this include Implied/Referenced Kidnapping, Abuse, Non-Sexual Intimacy, and Gaslighting, and that is enticing to me, but I know it isn't to everyone, so mind the tags!

Call Me What You Like; orphan_account - A study of Scott's perspective on his relationship to Martyn, with some (a lot of) pining. Everyone's having a miserable time, except me; I'm pointing at this and going, "Ough!! A Mean Gills dynamic of all time in this one for sure!!" Delightful juxtaposition of physical closeness with emotional distance.

[spiderziege]

omg i love the 3rd life horses so much <333 do you have a thought process for the specific breeds you assigned people, along with the horses’ armor pieces and such? also, i know you said you’re doing 3rd life horses, so do you have any headcanons for what kind of horse life series players that weren’t in 3rd life like pearl and lizzie would have? (like even if you don’t end up drawing them)

THANK YOU FOR THIS ASK!!! i do have thoughts!!

i dont have specific breeds picked out for all of them but ill just go through each one :]

cleos horse is a clydesdale, i knew i wanted some big draught horses for cleo and ren specifically, and i just looove clydesdales theyre so beautiful. for bdubs i wasnt as sure, his is maybe a quarter horse or something? definitely something fast and versatile. and both of their tack is meant to be fancy but not too over the top (cleos horse has a couple flowers that match the ones in cleos hair, and bdubs' horse has a clock and a red cloth that matches bdubs' headband)

rens horse is a shire, wanted his horse to he as big and imposing as possible. for martyn i also wanted something strong and big, but not as fancy and eyecatching. so that its obvious from looking at the horses who's the king and who's the hand. i think his is maybe a cleveland bay? and then both of their tack is very medieval knight-esque, which i think fits their vibe pretty well.

for joels horse im not really set on a specific breed, but i wanted something small and agile for him, something used for hunting. his tack is also a lot simpler than the crastle & dogwarts people

for etho i was kinda struggling tbh. the first breed that came to mind was something like arabian or akhal-teke, but in a third life scenario it just doesnt really make sense to give a desert horse to anyone except desertduo lol. my other option was some kind of ancient breed - like sorraias/tarpans. but those are pretty small and i wanted something a bit bigger, so i ended up with just kinda. generic gray horse. i wish id have made the markings a darker gray instead of white, and added a stripe on the back, i think thatd work better. he also has pretty minimal tack, and he's the only one who rides without stirrups cause he just seems like that kinda guy (same)

for the other third lifers - desert duo get either an arabian or akhal teke, like i said. kinda leaning towards arabian. they also only get one horse because they still have pizza too of course

imp & skizz & bigb all get bigger working horses similar to martyn probably. i think imp & skizz get very similar horses, and for bigb im thinking maybe black forest horse or something?

tango gets a mustang, i dont really have a reason for that it just feels right

jimmy gets a haflinger because thats like the golden retriever of horse breeds i think

for scott im not sure either - he could be a lusitano kinda guy, but tbh i think flower husbands can just share one haflinger with a million flowers woven into its hair

and then the ones that werent in third life - pearl definitely gets a marwari horse. im not sure what it is about those horses but thats just. the pearlescentmoon horse to me. maybe its the ears, they kinda look like little antennae

for lizzie im not really sure generally, but i think specifically for the last life fairy fort she gets a unicorn. thats just the only kinda horse i can think of that makes sense lol

mumbo gets a trakehner or some similar warmblood breed

gem gets an irish cob i think. definitely something thats strong but not super big

[marvelousstrings]

ill be even more awesome and compliment the past hermit a day may plushies you've made

Bdubs: i love the use of either paint or different coloured yarn to make his black eye (i think that is what it's called) also the mini clocks for him is so impressive as they're so small.

dm tango: like Bdubs, his small key is so cool, the small trinkets you add to these plushies make them much more amazing. also you made a whole mini coat? that's even more cool !

pearl: i am always going to be impressed by the small things, like the small moons on pearl. also the line on her sock matching with her hoodie is just assjbnjbvhd (dunno if its on the actual minecraft skin or a design you did yourself) but its amazing eitherway

Joel: yeah, not a cult, that's not a mass amount of Joels (that amount of Joels is impressive in itself though), also the singular Lizzie makes it more hilarious (and the details on her, dude you make these so good)

team post office: i love Tangos glasses and little tuff on his tail!! on pearl i really like the gold small things on the side of her post hat and on Etho i just love his clothes general, very creative when making a plush of a man who hasn't changed his skin in a ton of years now

Jevin: THE FUR TEXTURE MAKES HIM LOOK SO SOFT; ID JUST WANNA HOLD HIM IN MY HAND ALL DAY /VVPOS

Scar: i love the little blue details on him, they're so small so id guess they were quite hard? though you seem experienced, but they're still amazing, the teeny tiny stuff always impresses me !!

Ren: the glasses, the fur on his coat, the golden and diamond accents, dude youve overdone him /pos !! also i love his lil beard

Cleo: Their colour patches, the small intricate stiches, the flower crown, augh, The way you did them is just splendid dude !!

xB: i always get impressed by beards on these plushies but the fins and tails just makes me super impressed, like his tail is adorable and his fins are well done made :3!!

Xisuma: WHAT ISNT THERE TO COMPLIMENT; DUDE THE VISOR; THE TINY LITTLE PURPLE GEMS; EVERYTHING !! I LOVE HIM SO MUCH

and some honarouble hermits that werent intended for hermt a day may (as they didnt have the tag or was posted before hermit a day may)

HYPNO: THAT PLUSH HAS MINATURE EARRINGS??? WHAT; THATS AWESOME !!

False: MINI CLOCK AND TIE??? DUDE I DUNNO HOW MORE IMPRESSED I CAN BE BY YOUR THINGS

scar (s9 i think that is): That mini jellie on his hat says it all, its so so so cool (and yet another tie)

Permit grian: his name plate, i am a sucker for small small things, as youve noticed.

Duuuude! (gender neutral)

You're absolutely killing me here! pls keep talking about little details bc I'm also obsessed with those. you wouldn't believe the lengths I'm willing to go to to get tiny trinkets. that's where this hermitcraft craft turns pretty expensive lol it's all worth it though. considering I kinda craft out of two small boxes of supplies, it always surprises me a little how much I've gathered over the past few years.

Some of the Hermits got posted before May because I'd made them in the past (unfortunately i can't really make a new doll every day adfghjk). I also found the challenge a few days late and didn't want to spam the tag with out of day pictures. I have more hermits in various stages of completion, they won't be ready for a few weeks yet though.

You're absolutely making my day, so thank you for all your kind words!!

In a Limited Blink... Gone!

(I Turned Limited Life Into A Song x Blink Gone) (By Evil Anvil and Alien Stage; ft. Limited Lifers)

[Intro] Twenty-four hours, twenty-four hours, twenty-four hours Twenty-four hours, twenty-four hours, twenty-four hours Twenty-four hours, twenty-four hours, twenty-four hours to live, good luck Oh, in a blink, gone, blink, gone 놓칠 수 없어, blink and gone The clock goes tick-tock, tick-tock 무조건 즐겨봐 blink, gone Oh, in a blink, gone (let's go)

[Verse 1] We gotta go right now, "Chop chop" The ocean is where we're going to get set up Could the mansion be a good choice? Tell 'em we're the bad boys (Please) That looks like a perfect place to build a house Oh, no, Martyn just killed our cows That didn't go even slightly as planned Weapons are named, weapons in hand The server's in a mess, I had a lot of stress Gosh, isn't mom the best? Don't talk to me like that We're going to the Nether, so, we gotta stick together As father and son, do you care? Does it matter?

[Bridge] Life's too short People gotta hear what makes them special There's nothing to fear I finally have friends, put my life in your hands

[Chorus 1] Oh, in a blink, gone, 모두 잊고 즐겨봐 Oh, in a blink, gone, 놓치지 마 이 순간 I'm tellin' you blink, gone, 후회는 남기지 말아 The clock goes tick-tock, out of the clock... Three, Two, One...

[Verse 2] Death to bread bridge! That went off without a hitch We are rebuilding the sub sandwich We'll see how this goes with my two hoes It’s a truce: Honor amongst yellows How did I get here? Mom's got a cold I'm not sure I want to be involved Look at that sea of red, I don't wanna go near that The bad boys are using my Skynet! (I'VE FALLEN!)

[Bridge] Oh, in a blink, gone, blink and gone 지금 만끽해 in a blink, gone

[Verse 3] No time left and I have to act I'm almost certain the base is trapped What's Joel doing? Hard to tell Grian, it's not going well We're going in together, Bdubs Brothers in arms, my next death is gonna do me BdoubleBits everywhere, but Scar wrecked me in PvP Alright, this is it, it's the ultimate betrayal The clock has ticked for the final time Murdering children is probably bad They're gonna kill me, but I don’t mind My magic trick's not working, Oh, no, don't tell Tim Martyn, I need you to fall down there! Scott, I swear, this is not fair

[Chorus 2] Oh, in a blink, gone, 모두 잊고 즐겨봐 Oh, in a blink, gone, 놓치지 마 이 순간 I'm tellin' you blink, gone, 후회는 남기지 말아 The clock goes tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, blink, gone

[Bridge] Everyone is dying, it happened so fast Oh, my gosh, that makes me the last member of T.I.E.S After Etho's demise, I can die twice Hold on, guys, let's go down to less than an hour each Okay, no armor, no shields, we're just gonna fistfight Like our forefathers, Scar and Grian (Scar and Grian, Scar and Grian, Scar and Grian)

[Interlude; Chorus plays in the background] Filthy desert hippies What would you propose I do, my Lord? Those who have wronged us, hand They will pay the ultimate price

[Outro; Chorus plays in the background] Nah, I don't wanna play this silly game On with it, me laddie I wanna do it this way, I wanna do it exactly this way It doesn't matter if you're a Mean Gill or a Bad Boy or a Neighbor Or a Clocker, none of these niceties, this is a death match for a reason!

I made a Bdubs doll and this is what happened.

so my idea was to make a bdubs doll and make a moss coat out of this moss mat stuff I found in the floral section at Joann. It was easy to just stick the moss onto a fleece coat (even though fleece sets off my sensory issues) but it also got little moss bits all over my apartment. At that point I realize that I absolutely could not display this next to any other dolls lest they also succumb to the moss so I bought this huge candle holder from target and made a platform of foam, foam clay, and leftover moss mat to look like a minecraft grass block. But with moss. So now I have sealed him in for the protection of not only myself but all who dare to enter my home. Because I'm a responsible crafter.

Moral of the story: don't do this.

But I have my bdubs and I'm very happy with that.

The actual doll is, and this is true, a gen 1 monster high body with a lol omg head. I chose this head and body combination for maximum skrunkly potential. Mainly the eyes. As for the headband I cannot verify that that specific shade of red would match the hex code that is mr. doubleo100's namesake, I know for a fact it's too bright, but it complements the green very well I think. 

Oh and how can I forget the little clock I made? I just went back and took a few more pictures, and at this point I will apologize for the reflections of me taking the picture because it's hard to get good pictures when you have to contain your creation in a glass box. It's not the nicest clock, but it's my clock, and that's what matters.

The TACOMLU Hermit Tattoo post!

Have you ever wondered if the TACOMLU Hermits have tattoos? Well, wonder no longer! - Patton

Bdubs- a clock on his right shoulder (because 'it looked cool')

Cub- the concorp logo on his right peck, the pattern of Scar's wings across his neck

Doc- Tommy’s full birthday in binary code around the bicep of his lower right arm. If anyone asks, he says it's a recipe for pasta sauce

Etho- none (that anyone knows about)

False- eagle wings across the nape of her neck(was inspired by Cub's tattoo)

Gem- none (yet)

Grian-  the L'manburg flag on his ankle. It's rarely seen, and only Wilbur knows it's there

Hypno- a pocket watch sleeve up his arm

Impulse- the date he met Skizz across his collar bone

Iskall- a blooming rose matching with Stress on her shoulder

Jevin- you can't tattoo goop

Joe- Beetlejhost took over last time he tried to get a tattoo, so she's opting out for now

Keralis- xB's name in a heart on his bicep, Xisuma’s name in a heart on his hip

Mumbo- none but Niki is talking everyone in the Syndicate into getting matching tattoos

Pearl- half of a sunflower that matches with Sausage

Ren- Womb tattoo that says 'Papa K', Tramp stamp that says 'Docm77, a crescent moon over his heart, 'Season 4' in cursive across his arm

Scar- the concorp logo on his left thigh, Tommy’s birthday and the day Tommy disappeared on his right

Skizz- the date he met Impulse across his wrist above the 3 hearts every player has

Joel- none because he's a weenie who hates pain

Stress- at this point what part of her ISN'T tattooed. An entire sleeve of vines, roses, tulips, etc up both her arms, an Iskallium stone on the back of her left hand, her favorite constellation on her ankle, a heart on her cheek, the Hermitcraft logo across her tummy

Tango- a ravager head across his pelvis (yes it hurt like a bitch but Zed said it'd be cool)

Beef- none, but he will get one to commemorate TCG

Wels- none

xB- Papa K womb tattoo, guardian spikes down his spine

Xisuma- all the Hermits names across his back in cogs like a machine, a tramp stamp but only Keralis knows about it

Zedaph- a trophy to represent his Zedvancments

Cleo- they used to have SO MANY, and her favorite was a little ghostie on her wrist representing Joe, but after XD turned her into a gorgon they all disappeared

Lyarrah- a candle up her arm and a pair of goggles across her ankle

Zloy- a red feather on his wrist and a candle on his hip

Pix- the coordinates of The Vigil above his heart, a half burning candle up his leg, a hard-core heart to represent Phil on his right ankle, his parents and sisters names in candlescon his back, a red feather and a pair of goggles on each of his shoulders

[squipedmew]

okay while looking at ur silyl bigb posts i also realize something.. Impulse losing his last life always ended up being in the hands of said winner of EACH life seriise. in one way or another.. impulse was killed by bdubs who grian had uh blrbed bdubs withh a clock to kill impulse impulse was shot down by scott. impulse died when pearl killed bdubs. impulse was killed by marytn. impulse was shot down by scar. now I saw this from a post a bit earlier and was rewatching on how impulsesv died and it all matches up. he always went out by the hands of the person who eventually won the game. so... huh!! thinking of a name for it. Maybe hummingbird hex from the og post because it represent messengers so its like messages from the watchers that whoever killed impulses last life ends up being the winner in a way.. or winner whisper!! what are your thoughts, would love to know.

call it the curse of shooting the messenger
