Shipping characters not in a "I think they are together" way but a "I want to watch their relationship crumble as their love turns to hatred"

Can I... talk about the theory that winners help craft the next game?

Because, and I really can not say this enough, it puts So Much into perspective.

Everything starts out Normal. Three lives, simple, cut and dry, there hasn't been a winner yet. No one to help craft the game. (And there's something to be said about how simple it really was. Not even a real expectation of the world becoming pvp or combative. No idea of the war to come)

Then Grian wins. The green killer, the man who vowed his first life to the one whose life he took. The next game the boogie man is born. A mechanic that allows and, in fact, demands, a green kill. People can trade lives back and forth, currency and debt wrapped up in one. (can we still be friends? Said the red partner. A life time later and reds are hostile, alone. Maybe it's an answer: No. Not anymore)

Scott wins this time. He refuses to play the game. He will not kill his team, he will love and he will do so fiercely and with all of himself. The next game people are attached through to their very souls. Every bit of damage to one soul is done to its twin. There is no boogeyman. (There is no way for a widow to be left without their love)

Pearl wins and she wins a blood bath. Spent the game draped in red, only wolves for company. Sitting in her tower, shivering in ice, maybe she wanted it to end. To see where it would. Limited life rewards you for killing, limited life has a clock tick tick ticking down, you always no how long you have. A curse yes, but a blessing too.

Now It's Martyn's turn.

And what a turn it is.

Keep your secrets, says the disloyal man, keep them well. Everything hurts, everything Matters, says the man fracturing with every loss. (What if we could love each other without hurting? Says The Hand, who never wanted to be coated in blood)

More importantly, Martyn has always seen the watchers below the surface. Now, they're right here in front of him. Something that could almost... be rebelled against, no? Something that someone else could finally point to and say: hey, hey isn't that familiar?

hey. hey... chat,

i think we need to discuss an incredibly plausible probability right now:

we've figured out how the life system works. if a red or yellow kills a player of a higher colour than them, then they get their life.

pearl “has died at least 1 time per session so far” pearlescentmoon is on her yellow life. she has two lives left.

scott "always sacrificing himself for his allies" smajor is on six.

the likelihood of scott killing himself for pearl again is statistically high.

and i think it will be a beautiful parallel. because this time she really will forgive him after all.

Pearl and Gem's dynamic in the Life Series means so much to me, Pearl desperately wants to be wanted, to be loved and to be needed. Gem keeps getting love shoved at her and demanding that she be a leader and she's so fucking tired of it.

Also I genuinely love the abusive Scott angle (absolutely NO hate to cc, I just like the thought of it) because he plays into everyone he interacts with's insecurities. He insults Jimmy's intelligence and he ignores Pearl, these are pretty established facts. But the thing I find interesting is that Cleo seemingly lacks any huge insecurities, and yet she chooses to stay with Scott. This leads me to my theory/observation: Scott love bombing Cleo

Slight warning, I will be stretching the truth and ignoring a bit of canon to entertain this idea. The rules are you guys aren't going to fact check.

Lemme explain that, Scott has no interest in Cleo in third life, but as soon as Cleo was betrayed, in a sensitive position, he swoops in and saves her, giving them an alliance, but once she goes red, he drops them, Cleo is left thinking that they are the problem, so she goes to Scar to ask for a life back. Once she goes back to Scott, she is given an extra life "to stop it from happening again" Cleo learned what made her fall out of favor with Scott and prevents it. In Double life, Scott drags Cleo away from her soulmate and shows her all this love, building a bridge to her house, always complimenting them in front of Pearl while putting down Cleo. But once it's down to the last four, when Martyn shoots a firework rocket at Scott, Cleo is blamed, saying that they betrayed him. This probably makes Cleo feel absolutely terrible and guilty for something they didn't do.

In Limited Life, they were allies, but Cleo was always to know that she wasn't ever going to be on his priorities, and acknowledging the canon context around this, Cleo has been recently divorced and is now a single mother of two kids, so she's likely begging for someone to help her, but even thier allies don't help.

In Secret Life, Cleo was nearly entirely ignored by Scott, but there were a couple instances of him paying attention to her, Scott and Gem helping Cleo complete her task, and when they were the only ones left. I'm going to ignore the last one because I can't make it angsty. But the zombie apocalypse is more interesting, Cleo and Scott were alone and Scott says "widows alliance" and they stick together, but after that session, it's back to ignoring them

In Real Life, Cleo's insecurities probably really started up, and I'm willing to bet that their win was immediately tarnished by Scott, if in the next series she didn't try to win, would Scott treat them like they weren't a real winner? And if they did try to win, Scott would accuse them of trying to overshadow him.

Of course Cleo sat by while Scott belittled Pearl's trauma, they are just as much of a victim of Scott as she is, but their trauma can't be addressed in the same way Pearl's is because doing so would make them lose Scott's favor

I went on a rant, what was the original purpose of this post again? Oh yeah Shiny Duo

Anyways Toxic Yuri everybody, goodnight
