[traffic-series-after-life]

Some of us have individual names (Like fray, milly, or me!)

Collectively though, we have a bunch of different names depending on the universe. Here... maybe Mutters?

-Saph

Mumbo: we seem to have two options, what should we choose?

[listener-symphony]

Yeah it's tall i guess-

*makes the tower look blurry from Bdubs Pov*

You made it because of a task right?

-Curiosity (Kiya)

SL!Mumbo: Well, yeah, kind of. The task was to win competitions, so… tower contest.

SL!Bdubs: *rubs eyes* What the heck…?

Secret Life designs for the residence of Traffic Town in ol rural Australia

[radishearts]

Silly art for a silly moment for a very cool event !!!

The tower off was one of my favourite parts of secret life, truly could NOT make me stop giggling from the first watch to every rewatch. From Mumbos desperation to hold onto first place (and Gems insístance he was wrong) to Pearl trying to sneak her task into unsuspecting players inventories. This episode was the gift that kept on giving!!!

Thanks to @uy8hg for organising this event!! I hope everyone enjoys the silly art of the life series on their dash as I do :D

apologies if you've already expressed them before, but any thoughts about mounders from secret life? (including joel ofc)

Love them. so dearly. Pearl being surrounded by people who support her and don't treat her like a ticking time bomb who's gonna morph into that DL image of an ostracized witch again any second and be a burden (coughs.) is exactly what she needs. BigB in Limited Life was similarly good to her but aughhh Mounders were really sweet

Arguably the most notable aspect of the Mounders is Pearl's desire for Bdubs to secure a win. She expresses wanting one of them to win and outlive her on multiple occasions, but Bdubs is the one she singles out, not unlike Impulse in WL, except she clinged to Impulse as the one member of her team that didn't make quips and remarks about her being untrustworthy but didn't show any genuine connection or desire for one otherwise (reflected in how she tended to not spend a lot of time with him one-on-one and that of those times the subject matter most often circled back around to him hopefully winning, always framed like a secondary goal for Pearl aside from the one she was trying to achieve with Gem), in the end clinging less to Impulse than she clung to the idea of someone winning as per her wish and help. With the Mounders and especially Bdubs, it was much more based in connection and less so in Pearl seeking direction - something to achieve that she could feel good about. She cared about Bdubs and Bdubs greatly cared about her too (There's this one scene where he goes "Your cloak is turning red, Pearl, careful..." in a very concerned dad way and it makes me feel things), and he did want to win for her sake although he was clearly uncertain and dancing around the idea on at least one occasion. It's genuinely very heartwarming to see him want to do well because Pearl believed in him, helped by the continuously enforced (and not surface-level) trust between them

Which, of course, applies to the rest of the Mounders too. I never and I mean never stop thinking about that scene where Pearl is ready to flee from Joel for his ability to guess her very obvious task, only for him to intentionally guess it incorrectly and Bdubs following suit. Earlier in that session too, Scott told both Joel and Bdubs what pearl's task is so they could guess it, which Joel vaguely brushed off but Bdubs was vocal about not betraying Pearl. Likewise Pearl doesn't snitch on Joel when she clearly knows his task to backseat game her. Mumbo... did try to hurt/kill them for his red tasks so. lol. But he's a sweetie. There were still cute moments where he was looking out for the others even if he became kind of a desperate wet bag on his red life. Mounder for life.

Joel and Bdubs also are very cute just between them two. Bdubs accidentally made Joel succeed Grian's task once and I think he keeps trying to make up for it because later he's just snitching to Joel nonstop about all the intel he has so that Joel could try and guess people's tasks. Except for Etho's of course. Something about Joel digging underground calling Bdubs his favorite snitch as he yaps away above ground. He also praises Joel whilst he's digging as if it's his task to do so. And also at the start of one session, Joel is low on hearts and Bdubs is persuaded to give him his, saying "you deserve it". Then he lies to Etho that Joel was so intimidating and scary and forced him. Then he lies to Impulse that Joel was pathetic and begging for it.??? Something wrong about him. That guy is hashtag not normal about Joel. The way they went out was really saddening (and maddening) to me but it was one final cute moment if even a very bittersweet one when Joel accidentally shot Bdubs, Bdubs tells himself to eat his golden apple, which reminds Joel to eat his right before Bdubs dies, followed by Joel. Scott taunting Joel about killing Bdubs makes me go GRGGGGRAHHHHHHH and of course Scott would do anything to fuck with Joel GGRAAHHHHHHHGGGG sorry. And it makes sense, they were teammates, but still important to me that Joel cares that much to begin with, especially in the context of being within his first stable allyship outside of his soulbind in DL

Joel in general being in a proper alliance was really nice to see. Like idk when I was first watching SL I lowkey expected him to be missing from the question ritual at least once but no <3 he was always there <3 The questions they did for each session in general was so cute. It's so much like, following the text-book example on how to bond, and then they all flee as soon as they get their questions for the first several sessions with very vague confirmation that they can turn to one another as needed. But they did bond!! Even Bdubs with how god awful abnormal he is about Etho, which I already went into depths about but it's so important to me. Genuinely such an awesome dynamic... Also I love that when Joel had to make a cult, he kept just recruiting the Mounders into it even after finishing that task

i love the mounders bc two of them are tall af and two of them are short af

[traffic-series-after-life]

*a few months ago*

The last thing Jimmy remembered was seeing white with a deafening ringing in his ear. he had died. not first, he'll have you know, but he was dead. the warden terrorising the server killed him.

he opened his eyes and found himself right where he left off, spawn, but something was different. looking around he noticed the all the damaged caused by the wither was gone, like it never happened. he also found himself alone, with no one but the secret keeper around.

Jimmy: What happened, I thought i died?

No more then a second later Jimmy hear the manical laughter of someone else near. It was Mumbo

Jimmy: Mumbo?

Mumbo stopped laughing a turned to look at him.

Mumbo: Jimmy? What, you died!

Mumbo pauses.

Mumbo: I died.

The two sat in silence for a moment.

Mumbo: Where is this place?

Jimmy: I don't know.

Mumbo looked around the area, it was exactly like the place he had come to know, he could see his and the other mounders base not too far from here, but any damage that the base had received was completely missing.

Jimmy: is this the afterlife?

Mumbo: I can't think of anything else it could be.

Jimmy: Lets look around a bit?

Mumbo: Sure.

*Jimmy and Mumbo are now open for asks*

[listener-symphony]
