#soul alone series: scott

[thelittlestspider]

reading the og evil dead script and like why did they make scotty such an asshole? there are genuinely good moments with him and ash. they could've just made him a good guy.

script link here.

[bluebblurry]

Okay okay so the victor naming scheme with like celestial bodies (I like to think this is what the Watchers call them) is really really cool to me so i was trying to come up with more for the potential winners

(I decided I’m going to go through all of them while i wait for grian to poST HIS FUCKING VIDEO so please bare with me lmao)

Grian is the Sun, of course. It’s his series, not to mention he shares a name with the Irish goddess of the sun. Mumbo can’t win bc he’s out but like if he ever does win, i think he should also be the Sun like Grian, because they canonically share a soul (at least in hermitcraft). He could also be Icarus as a tribute :3

Scott is the Stars. Why? I dunno, fandom consensus lmao. I don’t personally keep up with his pov because he and grian don’t really cross paths much (i mostly only watch grian, mumbo, and scar 😭). He also had that little crown in Last Life that looked like stars so

Pearl is the Moon, firstly, because she is PearlescentMoon, but also because she had a strong connection with the wolves (Werewolf!Pearl my beloved). It also completes the trio lol

Now here’s where we get into the people that don’t necessarily have an agreed upon title, starting with Martyn. To me, he is Mars. The Roman god of war is a contributor to that, but he also just has the vibes (it also rhymes with Stars but atdhdbjd). Similar to Mumbo, Ren could also be Mars if he won bc his soul is shared with Martyn now (i think??). If not, then maybe Jupiter, like the king of gods, and the red dot can be Red Winter.

Scar is the Earth. He had an earthy color palette for most of the season, but that’s not the only reason. He is alone. The Earth is alone in the universe when it comes to life (as far as we know).

Now, i’ve seen Cleo as Mercury and as Venus, and I love both of those. Venus is the Roman goddess of love and beauty, and I think that’s very fun for Cleo. Mercury also is kind of just her vibe. However! I thought of Pluto, at first as a joke, because Cleo “technically doesn’t count”. But i decided it fits because Pluto is the Roman god of the Underworld, and Cleo is a zombie! :D

Okay now i’m making some up for fun for potential future winners 💀

Jimmy could be a Comet! Somehow it’s similar to a canary to me, i dunno it just makes sense lmao. If Tim ever won, it would be like he’s hurtling toward the finish line like a big flaming ball, so it’s funny. I don’t have the words to explain the symbolism i want to get across, but it’s there i promise

Lizzie could be The Void, one because ShadowLady, and two because she died to the void in Secret Life. I know it’s not exactly a celestial body, but it can apply to the dark matter of space :)

Etho could be Saturn, purely just for color and vibes. Alternately he could be Jupiter and the red storm can be like Etho’s red eye!

Joel is Uranus. Just cause it’s funny.

Gem could be the constellation Gemini. I know it doesn’t exactly count as a celestial body, and Scott is already the Stars, but i don’t care lol

A potential one for Tango is Mercury. His blue fire form could represent Mercury’s retrograde.

Big B would probably be Neptune, for his sweater, or! Venus because of his recent Creaking stuff.

Unfortunately i don’t really have one for Bdubs, so if y’all have suggestions let me know! Maybe like, the Horsehead Nebula?

I’d like for Impulse and Skizz to be intertwined somehow, something like Alpha Centauri, which are two stars that orbit each other.

Tell me if you have suggestions! I might also be using some of these for my pirate au…. 🤫

[kaihuntrr]

A bunch of Scott designs I did for warmups <3 using my personal head canons for each one! Explanations for their looks and ‘names’ down below!

Life Series: Scott!

I love all of them so much,, I wanted to keep their outfits and general vibes simple, they’re all pretty but also some practicality in their wardrobes as they are in some type of survival game ehe.

3rd Life: Poppy

Self explanatory name, this version of Scott is the sweetest and the most disconnected from the survival games. He only wanted to live with his husband in their little paradise in forms of flower valleys and endless wheat fields, completely isolated from the war. His outfit is of a gardener, overalls and a sunhat with his and Jimmy’s favorite flower; poppies. He grew out his hair and ties it, not wanting it to be in the way of his work. He is overly protective of his husband, wanting to keep him safe and away from danger for as much as he possibly can. A widow’s rage is something else.

I imagine 3rd Life designs to be more humanoid, so Scott here is an elf! This soul of his moved on to Empires, where he spends the rest of his days with his husband in sweet bliss.

Last Life: Star

Earned the name after being victorious in the game of betrayal. A guiding star to others, he keeps the titular mark on his forehead for the remainder of his time in the Life Series due to being a winner, a reminder of him losing his final life to a lightning bolt. He is the most cunning, using his wits and trust to be a strong ally. He lived in the center of all the chaos with his partner, his best friend Pearl, using little moths to communicate to each other. With sheltered forests and a cottage as their ‘home’, he has deer-like features and antlers to boot. Perhaps this was an attempt to recreate a copy of Poppy, as he has some memories of ‘his’ previous life. He dresses in a neat dress shirt and vest, matching with his best friend and fitting the aesthetic of their pretty house in the woods. Just don’t touch the wall, please.

I wanted to use yellows for this design, as he starts off with two lives! Plus, the contrast looks so good <3 this soul is the host of future life seasons, having full clarity of this life when he goes into future events. Once a series is over, all precious memories will wash over him and the star will hover over his head. This is his ‘real’ form, his ‘winning’ soul.

Double Life: Venus

Named after the brightest ‘star’ next to the moon, he feels isolated. He felt something familiar as he was brought into this life, but he never expected to be connected to Pearl. He shouldn’t blame her, but he doesn’t deal well with being alone. Somehow, he still has a brief memory of Poppy’s as he feels.. something when Jimmy’s soulbound isn’t with him. He loves being with Cleo, his chosen soulmate, and being Pearl’s soulbound meant he could feel her frustration and loneliness. Should he have been there for her? Likely. He couldn’t bare seeing her face again. He couldn’t bare losing her again. Not again. Maybe it was better this way, they’re both hurting. He hopes this is better.

I used green as he was green in his iconic and heartbreaking moment of splitting off with Pearl and Martyn to join up with Cleo, and also I can remember him being mostly green until Pearl ups and ruins that- he’s a ram, his horns shifting to ram horns to solidify his stubborn nature to reconnect, and a general ranch aesthetic given he and Cleo made a whole soulmate ranch thing. The hair over his eyes are to hide his teary eyes, still missing and hurting over his soulmate.

Limited Life: Coral

A fitting name for the person who established the Coral Isles. The cottage was in the middle of it all, so he wanted his life to be away from all the drama, just by the side of the map near the ocean to relax. Unfortunately, things just won’t stop coming for him. Be it being the boogeyman first, allying with someone who you swore was supposed to kill you, and more memories of your past life you don’t understand coming back to haunt you, it’s a little too much. He can’t help but be flirty with Martyn though, the man definitely bites back. He finds his partner’s overprotective-ness rather adorable, and he’d do anything for him back, even give him time.

Fish!! Drastically different than my AU design, which is good- used his red skin as he did wonderfully as a red name and whenever I think of Limited Life I’d always think of Red Scott, which I adore <3 he does have long hair, can’t not have his long hair for him!

Until series five comes out, these are my thoughts and ideas for Life Series Scott! I’d love to write out possible interaction ideas but I’m afraid this post might be too long LMAO- a good break from Sea Prince content, but I absolutely adore the life series and the pseudo-story I have for this guy in particular. Who knows, you might see fullbodies of them in the future? :D no promises!

[lolli-popples]

The Missing Link in Scott's Characterization

(Wrote this in a random document and I think it's good so I'm loosely transcribing it here)

These are some of my thoughts on a crucial facet of Scott's character in the Life Series that I think is overlooked by the fandom.

From my personal viewpoint, people put a lot of emphasis on Scott's caring about his allies over everything else. I think this is an important characteristic. However, I think this being shown as the most central trait is a detriment to how people read his involvement with the overarching narrative. It might be less of a problem if he wasn't directly involved with the final fight of nearly every Life Series.

Because of this combination of things, his main interaction with fans' reading of the final fight is being willing to do anything to make sure his friends win. It gives people the tendency to attribute some victories partially to him, which upsets people who want main read of the story to focus entirely on the winner. But this also has meant that one of Scott's main traits is overlooked.

Just as much, and often, more than Scott values his allies, he values fairness. To showcase this, let's look at Limited and Last Life, where he had the most control on how the final fight took place.

In Last Life, when it's down to the final four, Scott *could* have teamed up with Pearl, his ally all season, to kill Martyn and Ren. That aligns with wanting either your or your allies to win, no? But he doesn't. He suggests they split to the 4 corners of the map and have a fair fight on equal footing. Very fair.

With Limited Life it's even more apparent. Scott and Martyn have an impressive amount of time. They could both still die multiple times. Impulse is running out, and there's a numbers advantage. They could have killed Impulse and Scott could have let Martyn win, or Scott could have given Martyn his time to fight Impulse alone. But instead, he suggests they all go down to the same amount and have a fair fight.

In both situations, Scott puts fairness *over* an alliance victory. Even though Limited Life didn't end up ending fairly, that had nothing to do with Scott.

Double Life certainly has the strongest claim on Scott "letting someone win". That his death is an apology for abandoning Pearl.

But if you listen to what Scott says in the finale, he never apologizes. He says he didn't think they'd get this far, he says she deserves this more than him, and then he says the iconic "Tilly death do us part."

Scott didn't fight Pearl. But I don't think it came out of remorse. I think that too, came from a sense of fairness. Which is that Pearl, by all accounts, DOES deserve this win. If they fought it would basically be up to a draw. To chance. Scott has every chance of winning. But if you go over the events of Scott's final episode, he mostly runs. He survives. While Pearl 1v2'd two separate pairs and won! The only reason Pearl hasn't killed Scott already, who has been her enemy all season, is because they were randomly assigned to be soul-linked. A concept Scott has fought since the very beginning. He knows that while he never hurt their chances, Pearl is the reason they are here, and Pearl is the reason he is here. It wouldn't be fair for Pearl to lose to what is basically a coin flip. So, he doesn't leave it up to random chance.

So yes, Scott is loyal and does care about his allies, he proves that again and again. But the way he is involved in how the series end shows that his sense of order and fairness are equally important. Also, I think viewing his contributions from this angle help remedy some of the reasons people don't like his usual characterization because of how it effects the agency of other characters.

Short Analyses of Every Life Series Finale: How Each Finale Is Connected to Respective Season Themes/Gimmicks

Analysed through the lense of Watcher lore/Martyn’s EaE AU (Real Life not included because it’s an April Fools special but Cleo’s win still counts)

Very general analysis, I just noticed some kind of connections/coincidences and wanted to write them down.

3rd Life 🏜️

The first season. Intended to hopefully be a fun, collaborative game, but turned into an epic drama filled with both tragedy and comedy (as the Watchers meant it to be, a death game). Grian’s final duel with Scar sets the tone for the entire series and the seasons to come, being that while this series is comedic in elements, but it’s ultimately a tragedy from all perspectives.

Last Life ⚔️

A season centred around deception and the breaking of alliances from paranoia and betrayal. Scott rejects the Boogeyman curse and the honourable PvP duel at the end is a great antithesis to this season’s entire tone and theme, suggesting that hope and honour can still be held onto even with all this uncertainty and betrayal. (Crudely speaking: Last Life finale is a big fuck you to the Watchers)

Double Life 💔

A season centred around relationships and bonds. Pearl is isolated and rejected by not just her soul bound, but the entire server. At the end, forgiveness is achieved with sacrifice, an action that could be considered the ultimate act of love within a death game, reinforcing the theme of bonds, love and honour in the face of suffering.

Limited Life ⏳

A season centred around the desperation for time. The clock is constantly ticking. When every player will die anyway, it’s just a matter of who dies last. Martyn’s final betrayal emphasises the ambition to win and desperation for time in this season. He tells us that honour actually means little in the Life Series and it is still every player for themselves, thus breaking the “return to honour” pattern established previously.

Secret Life ���

A season centred around secrets and keeping secrets can have dire consequences. Scar was made a villain by the secrets and subsequently isolated from the server. In the end, he embraces this villain persona and claims victory with no secret to keep, as the final task was “Win Secret Life”. One that is truly alone has no secrets to keep from others, as who is there left to care about their secrets?

Wild Life 🎲

A season centred around unpredictability, with many patterns established in the previous seasons broken. In a season where player agency centred around the wildcard gimmick, the final fight gave the final players back that choice to take charge of their journey and fight for victory. Joel, the wildest player of the cast, seizes his victory with confidence. Having held in his typical wild and chaotic self for the entire season, he embraces whatever fun that the death games have at the end. His win tells us that the players are starting to truly have fun with the situation they are in and are now playing for themselves, and no longer for the prying eyes of the Watchers, no longer obeying patterns inflicted onto them.

[blueishspace]

Double Life Remixed p.18

*Tango's pov*

You visit Pearl first, you don't know why Scott insisted on checking on them first but it's not like you had any better ideas and Scott won last season despite having started with two lives so he probably knows what he's doing...

... Pearl and Scar's base is... interesting. Looks like a zoo more then anything. Actually, looking at the amount of animals here it might actually be a zoo.

You don't hear Pearl approaching and Scott definitely doesn't either because you see him have a mini heart attack when Pearl appears behind them like a fucking apparition.

Pearl: Hey there!

Tango: AHHHHHH! (You know Tango's high pitched cartoony scream? That)

Scott is the one to recover first from the scare.

Scott: Hiii. So this is where you and Scar settled in?

Pearl: Sure is!

You decide to actually join in in this conversation... just observing two people talk while staying silent like some silent watcher observer is extremely akward... What was that? Your thoughts went a bit...weird for a moment... Oh well, where were you? Right, joining in.

Tango: Went for a zoo theme? Are you zookeepers then?

Pearl: Sure are mate!

Scott: ... Yeah, how did that happen by the way?

Pearl: Oh, Scar got the pandas and I got the wolves and then Scar found some cats and then we got some animals for farming and it just went from there.

Scott: Well it is very nice, I could see part of it from our base.

Pearl: Oh mate, we're neighbors? We should try to be friends then.

Tango: Yeah...sure.

Pearl: What? It's true.

Scott: Hmm, where is Scar by the way? And why would you leave him alone.

Pearl: Oh! He's still with the pandas, do you want to join in?

You look at Scott, he looks back thoughtfully before nodding.

Tango: Sure?

Pearl: Follow me!

Scar is exactly where Pearl said he was, It's not like you expected her to lie or something but still...how long has he been here?

Scar: Oh hello! What can I do for you?? Came with an offer cause I would be open to hear-

Pearl: Scar, they are visitors. Wanted to look at the pandas.

Scar: Oh yes! The Jellie Pandas! Aren't they adorable?

Tango: What are they? Some weird...cat panda hybrid???? How have you done this!?

Scar: ✨Magic.✨

Scott: How...did you do that with your mouth-

Tango: They are...completely different species??????

Pearl: Well, so are humans and blazes and yet you exist mate.

Tango: I- uh...I don't think that's how it works.

Pearl: Isn't it?

Tango: . . .no?

Scott: Is it like... ⭐? No uhhh 🌟?

Tango: Scott! Stop trying to make... sounds! Pearl is giving me an existencial crisis.

Scott: Wait I got it. ✨.

Tango: Scott!

Scott: Yes ✨dear✨?

You die immediately, thank you Scott... Well you don't actually die but your soul almost exits from your body.

You aren't going survive this series if Scott keeps this up, Scott might as well just straight up kill you at this point...

Ah, more like gay up kill you... Oh gods his sense of humor is already rubbing off on you this is both the best and worst possible timeline.

Prev Next First

[cyb3rozexer]

This is such a stupid and weird thought that has suddenly been sprung upon me but I NEED TO GET IT OUT.

LIFE SERIES!

So i’ve been thinking too much about the ideas of scar being trapped in secret life. And following his tweets about fixing up the shack roof for the snow and adding a fireplace wouldn’t stop the brain gears.

What if each life series winner is soul bound to their winning series.

Grian can’t help but find scar and care for him no matter what scar does to him in every series because his soul is stuck in 3rd life. He is stuck in the life in which he is devoted to scar and was his trusted ally. (i love them)

Scott and pearl were both together throughout both last and double life. Last having scott develop his trustworthy-ness and willingness to sacrifice himself for others that carries through. Double life making pearl realise she can trust others and find long lasting friendships due to scott’s sacrifice. They’re now allies again but with even more people in wild life because they’re still bound to their prior worlds.

Martyn’s need to be sneaky and on the hunt for others because in limited life there was a desperation to extend the timer that is your life at all times. But decidedly taking it easy during wild life because ren was the only person not there both secret life and limited life where it felt like your life was constantly on the line, so it provides a sense of security and ease ? Maybe even feeling like TIME HAS STOPPED?? (nudge wink i love them)

(there might be some inaccuracies with those 3 because i haven’t watched their povs for a lot of the series im sorry)

AND THEN

Scar dying in wild life dying alone without any of his allies around.

Why?

Because in secret life no matter how hard he tried for allies and friendships the secret keepers wouldn’t allow it leaving him stuck in secret life all alone.

AND SO NOW AFTER DYING IN WILD LIFE HE GOES BACK TO SECRET LIFE. ALONE. WITH THE GHOST OF THE WORLD THAT REMAINS LEAVING HIM TO WANDER ENDLESSLY FOREVER.

and then cleo is just always real i love them. Very fitting.

[ponett]

with the fallout of bandai namco's idiotic "it's up to interpretation" bs, do you think that it's possible to enjoy queer media made in a corporate environment in addition to independent works? is it even worthwhile to attempt making queer media in a corporate environment? i find it special how well the g-witch production team managed to tell the story they wanted even with the challenges and pressures they faced, but i have to admit that independent works like slarpg are always going to more completely tell queer stories. as someone who has resonated with both slarpg and g-witch, i was curious to know your perspective.

i'm probably less cynical about this than a lot of my peers are - not that i can blame anyone for feeling cynical about queer rep from corporate-owned media. (we've been through so many First Ever Gay Disney Characters at this point, and lord knows blizzard loves to tease that another overwatch character might be gay every year or so as a PR move.) unfortunately it's just extremely hard to get something like a full season of an animated series funded and produced independently, so the artists looking to enter these fields and pour their hearts and souls into meaningful queer stories as a full-time job don't have many options

going indie gives you theoretically endless creative freedom to tell your stories without corporate censorship, but it's also a massive gamble. only an extreme minority of indie creatives in any medium are actually able to make a living. the fact that i came out the other side of slarpg's development with enough money that i can keep being a full-time indie instead of being in massive debt makes me one of the lucky ones. and even with my modest success, i sure as hell don't have the money to hire a whole team, which limits the scope of what i can make. so i can't turn my nose up at the queer people writing disney channel cartoons where they can't say the word "gay" out loud. they have health insurance, i don't. for most people, what i do is simply not an option

with the corporate-produced Queer Stories i enjoy, i'm often able to squint and see what the creatives were trying to do, wishing that they could have done more while understanding that they probably had to fight tooth and nail for what's there

in the realm of children's animation in particular, i'm thankful that the people working at these studios ARE fighting for more, because it means that kids today have so many more positive queer stories to relate with. i didn't have a single gay character i felt i could relate to until i read scott pilgrim at age 16 and saw wallace wells. before that, i felt so alone in the world. i denied who i was for years because it felt like there would be no place for me. i didn't know anyone openly gay in real life, growing up in the south, and in fiction gay people either existed as the butt of a joke or not at all. the fact that queer kids are now able to see people like themselves in so many shows means something, even if we still have a long way to go and the big studios continue to be a major obstacle

on the subject of g-witch, i'm honestly unfazed by the statement from bandai-namco. i guess i wish they could've let suletta and miorine kiss, but like... the text of the show is extremely blunt about them being a couple by the end. it's not up for debate. and it's not like a gundam series having a meaningful story in spite of the wishes of the toy-producing overlords is anything new, this is just our latest example

all that being said, i do think people should branch out more and explore more weird indie shit if they want more wholeheartedly, openly queer stories. people gotta suck it up and embrace more outsider art instead of only valuing things with studio-level production values. start looking at ren'py visual novels, rpg maker games, obscure webcomics, zines drawn in sharpie, artists on bandcamp who aren't signed to a label, all that jazz. maybe part of the reason why i'm not more fazed by the state of affairs with corporate-funded fiction is that i'm constantly surrounded by furry artists who are telling their own little gay stories

Sterek fic rec: October edition (2024) 🐺 ⚓

Each month, I'll be sharing some of my favorite fics (and I'll make sure to backup and download them for safekeeping). Please note that I have a soft spot for darker themes, so warnings and tags will be plentiful - reader discretion advised!

Want specific recs? Feel free to send me an ask with your preferred tropes or genres, and I'll do my best to find some from my bookmarks. 

Pay by the hour, but don't leave so soon by JettieBettie 

"This is the last time," he tells her, heading toward the door.

"That’s what you always say. But I end up wearing his face for you again and again.”

Note: an incredibly hot pwp. I won't spoil much, but it does have an amazing Stiles voice regardless of being so short. 

___

Step towards me, step away by Areiton 

The truth is, he’s been more than a little bit in love with Derek Hale for a long time.

Note: A compelling exploration of an unconventional relationship. Complex characters, angst, and favourite tropes (Derek angsting over age gap, Kate comparisons) lead to a satisfying ending. Worth the read!

___

I found you hidden in plain sight (why'd I take so long?) by Gorgeousgreymatter 

Stiles is pretty sure he’s hallucinating. He’s got to be. There’s no other plausible explanation, he thinks, as he sits on the sidelines of the lacrosse field and feels the cold, hard bench underneath him, the roar of the crowd at his back like the worst white noise machine in the world.

There’s no other reason why he sees it, the hulking, black figure of a wolf peering at him from the treeline behind the bleachers. Its eyes flare in the glaring glow of the stadium lights, but they’re the wrong color, he thinks: blood-moon red instead of cobalt blue, but the familiarity of it all makes his stomach roll and clench.

Note: Gods. Another one my favourite trope, where Derek gets his alpha spark back because of Stiles. The line, the one which had me gnawing my pillow at 3AM:

“Jesus, Stiles. You never stopped being mine, did you?”

___

Somebody that I used to know by Percybyssheshelly

Stiles and Derek have been together for months.

The trouble is, they weren't yesterday.

Note: short, but packs a punch. If you're having a bad day and want some relatively short angst with happy ending fics, this one's for you. 

___

We live (not as we wish to) as we can by Endrversed

“I’m not a closet case,” Derek repeats, teeth gritted.

“Oh, yeah?” Stiles taunts, daring Derek with his eyes. “You coulda fooled me.”

“I’m not – gay.”

Derek spits that word out. Stiles snorts, no humour in it.

“Sure. You’re totally straight, dude. You just get all up in my personal space every time we’re alone. Stare at my lips any time you think no one’s looking. Well, I’m looking, Derek, and I know what you want. I know what you really want is to bend me over and fuck me.”

Derek is a closeted frat boy, and Stiles gets under his skin. Enemies to fuckbuds to <3

Note: Heed the tags. After DBC, I've been craving closeted frat boy Derek with the perfect Stiles voice. This one delivers. Endversed's mastery seals the deal.

___

UST (an unfortunate series of tropes) 

Stiles and Derek sitting in a tree, M-A-R-R-I-E-D.

Wait, what?

Or: Stiles thought he and Derek were finally getting to be bros, and then Deaton had to go and ruin everything with his stupid spell.

Note: Amazing Stiles voice + mature Derek. Re-read worthy! Accidental soul bonding and more - my ultimate tropes. 10/10, left craving more.

___

Stronger in numbers by bloodwrites

Stiles doesn't want to be the Alpha's mate, he doesn't want to be locked up for his own protection, and he's damn sure he doesn't want to be dealing with blood and werewolf parts on a weekly basis, but somehow that's what his life has become.

That's not going to change, unless he can convince Derek to trust Scott and the hunters, because it's the only way they're going to chase the Alpha Pack out of town.

Of course, that only solves two out of three.

Note: please heed ALL the tags. Also, remember, Derek’s somewhat of a certified jerk in this. And yet, somehow, that's the fic’s appeal. It honestly has the feels of a classic 2010-2014 fics, and that makes me eat it up even more. Also, it's HOT. 

___

Werewolf love songs, vol 1 by aggybird. 

Peter decides to use the power of Barry Manilow's music to make Stiles and Derek fall in love.

Meanwhile, there are monsters and stuff, and Stiles and Derek are stupid.

Note: amazing fic very close to my heart. I love meddling uncle Peter, and the gradual progression of their relationship. It's also such a classic early sterek fic, and like the other ones, I'm always starving for it. It's funny and incredible with Stiles’ voice. 

___

Rapture, sweet rapture (won't you put your hands on me) by queerly_it_is

Somewhere in the stringy mesh of his overactive brain cells, Stiles is sure there must be memories of what it was like to not have a totally possessive creeper with a leather fixation for an adopted brother.

Note: please heed the warnings. It's pseudo-incest!

I was watching Last Life and Double Life animatics... When a huge head cannon came in mind.

What if this entire Life Series revolves around Scott?

(SPOILERS FOR THE FOUR PREVIOUS LIFE SERIES IN HERE)

In 3rd Life: Grian won.

This makes sense, he's a Watcher.

In Last Life: Scott won.

And the watchers made it clear that Scott was too powerful and too strong to be left alone. From then on, it gets even more interesting.

Double Life: Pearl wins.

Scott and Pearl were soulmates. They were bound together.

Limited Life: Martyn wins.

Scott and Martyn were the Mean Gills. They were bound together. (...also a Listener winning??)

It's strange how after Last Life, each person Scott partners up with, wins.

But it doesn't just start with Last Life. I believe this connects with the Canary Curse with Jimmy. After 3rd Life, and being Flower Husbands with Scott, Jimmy's been cursed with the vex of dying first in the Life Series. No matter if he's partnered up with Scott, the curse still carries and he still dies first.

The thing is... What could it all mean? Does that mean Scott has become a Watcher himself alongside Grian? Handing the crown to the player who befriended him (and in Pearl's case: soul-bounded to him)?

And could Jimmy's Canary Curse be the reprimanding of loving a Watcher when he himself is a Listener?

What do you all think? Am I reading into this too much? (Probably.) But I can't wait to see how Secret Life pans out.

Blind Trust: Coming Soon!

the first Songbird Elegy

Today marks the first day where I launch into overdrive to do a final final edit of Blind Trust and get that shit up in all those groovy, groovy places. I've been saying June 20th but frankly it might be sooner than that - I think as soon as @hoard-sweet-hoard finishes tearing into it I'm going to work with their notes and my notes and then just start those gears turning.

I'll be doing a pre-order, you'll hear about that in the next couple of weeks. There will be a paperback, as well as an e-book, available through Ingram Sparks and Amazon (I think).

Blind Trust is an explicitly asexual romance with elements of urban fantasy and mild cosmic horror. It is book one in the Songbird Elegies, which is currently set to be four books but knowing my luck it might be more. In it you'll find an intersex lead and an additional lead and love interest who doesn't know he's agender yet. There is some disability representation in book one, and far more in the rest of the series for plot reasons I can't explain yet.

But it all starts here! Read below for the plot synopsis and follow for updates!

Edgar Gallows is done with magic.

He left it behind when he left the abuse of the Academy, a deep-rooted institution where anyone can dedicate their lives to tapping into the source of magic – and all the pain that brings. Now he’s found himself a quiet life in nearby New Orleans where he can focus on staying alive, pretty much alone, and relatively happy.

Scott Skylark Kaufner is losing his mind – literally.

Since being born a birthright with innate magic, he has had a dark and screaming void desperate to take over his body. A powerful madness that will render him unstoppable for as long as he is separated from the other half of the soul bond he was born into. Every day the cosmic oil spill swallows up more and more of himself, and there’s nothing he can do but keep travelling from town to town and looking for an indistinct figure he only knows as Eddie.

Edgar and Scott cross paths in the dirty walk-in of NOLA tourist trap. But this has happened before, hasn’t it?

Something about this

feels

familiar.

A tender asexual romance with eldritch undertones. Mental health representation and an intersex lead. Love both romantic and platonic and familial. Intense food service specifics. Jim Jarmusch meets Satoshi Kon meets The Mountain Goats meets comforting soup and most lighter shades of green and yellow.

What are your thoughts on The Rocky Horror Picture Show? I feel like you'd enjoy it.

What Utopia is this? To think Thomas More thought himself a wit by composing his Utopia, in such a manner!

We open on Christians Brad Majors and Janet Weiss who, in like mind, envy the chaste union of virtuous Ralph Hapschatt and pious Betty Monroe.

From this envy, the audience will continue to witness these two enamored souls fall deeper into vice and debauchery—We first glimpse this torment straightaway, when greed overcomes Janet and she abandons Brad to fall outside, to alone admire her ring in the churches interior light. In her inconstancy she regains a virtuous composure, to opine upon their newfound engagement. Admittedly Brad curses the engagement at least sixfold! "Damn it, Janet," which to each Janet declares lunacy at his devilish ways I assume.

For reasons unclear to me, these zealous lovebirds seek the approval of a former instructor, a doctor by the name Everett Scott, but encounter a tempest. An infuriated Brad threatens violence on a cavalier. Due to an ill-fitting wheel they lose the means to continue in their mechanical chaisse, so desperately they seek asylum in the shining beacon of vice: the voluptuous court of Frank-N-Furter. . .

The herald Riff Raff and maidservant magenta introduce the pair to the indulgent and salacious festivities led by Columbia, a libertine. Brad finds the event in good humor; Janet, however being poisoned by religion, is inconstant. During her bout of hysteria the voluptuous and amphibious impersonator Frank-N-Furter makes her entrance, clad in only in the vilest of negligee! Mlle. Furter offers assistance, if the couple shall indulge him in observing her scientific exhibitionism. The servants strip Brad and Janet of their clothes leaving them to in the barest of linens, and are lifted into the laboratory of their host, who is dressed as a surgeon; Brad is enraged at the abuse.

Through a series of events that defy God, M. Furter unveils her novel creation, life!—or to her sodomite sensibilities: a man—who he names Rocky; for whose sole purpose is of carnal fantasy and ownership. Rocky sings of the fabled sword of Damacles, imprisoned under threat of violence from those who engender him. He is stripped of his bandages, into the smallest knickers of gold. Janet insults Rocky's masculine physique to the rightful wrath of Frank-N-Furter, who thusly professes his debaucherous fantasies toward her offspring!

Enter the libertine Eddy, a former suitor of both the libertine Columbia and Mlle. Furter. In her inconstancy Columbine is entranced by the violent Nature of Eddy a time more. In her jealousy, M. Furter cages Rocky and slaughters Eddy with an icepick. After a time, all retire.

Riff Raff and Magenta watch from afar as Brad and Janet make their nightly retreat. They watch as Mlle. Furter swiftly seduces Janet, finally succumbing to her lascivious nature. The servants take leave only to torment Rocky. Upon his liberation, they celebrate sensually. M. Furter seduces Brad in turn! Riff Raff makes known the escape. Janet in typical inconstancy discovers Brad's sodomy. In a fit of hysteria she succumbs completely to her lust! It comes to the mind of this treacherous whore to punish Brad by seducing the naïve and vulnerable Rocky—under the watchful eyes of the Sapphists Magenta and Columbia, no less!

Enter the laboratory M. Furter scornfully whipping Riff Raff followed by Brad, who promptly discovered the Doctor Scott at the door, who is escorted through technological means to the laboratory. Brad finds Scott in good humor. Mlle. Furter confronts Scott of conspiring against her. However, the doctor only seeks company of his nephew... Eddie, who was previously slain in cold blood! Janet gasps from an enclosure, alerting M. Furter, who discovers Rocky's deflowering at the hands of this newfound voluptuary; scandalized Janet address her former tutor; Brad simultaneously discovers Janet's disloyalty; Mlle. Furter confronts his son, Dr. Scott is offended by Janet's behaviour; Brad, having been ignore addresses Janet a time more, who from she then defends herself... this exchange comedicslly repeats! Magenta interrupts to announce dinner. . . a communion of sorts of the deceased Eddy. Columbine, at the threat of Mlle. Furter, takes leave to mourns in hysterics.

The foreigners Mlle. Furter and Dr. Von Scott combat in a battle of wits; to determine the whereabouts of Eddy, who was indeed at the very table they ate! M. Furter entraps and abuses her sanguine guests, transmuting them into Roman statuettes through some strange alchemy.

In her jealousy, Columbine demeans Rocky, and is alike turned to stone; Rocky, in all his failings, meets a similar fate. Riff Raff and Magenta confront Frank-N-Furter about their evident return home.

Under some means of devilish control, M. Furter has her captives perform a sultry opera with her in a Roman bathhouse, where they praise his libertinage. At the bottom of the bath is the Creation of Man of Michelangelo—the failed apotheosis of Furter. (Herein this watery orgy, you can catch sight the delicate breast of Columbia peeking from her lingerie). Janet in heresy calls to God to bless the voluptuary Lily Saint-Cyr.

Enter Riff Raff and Magenta to overthrow the tyrant Furter, feigns a revelation and finally falls completely into delirium. In his sodomitic jealous, Riff Raff assassinates Columbia and Mlle. Furterwith an immaculate weapon. Rocky grieves his mother, and his unnatural being protects him from the divine weapon but he too succumbs to its divinity.

Man makes his escape from the foreign and vicious abode, and the Chateau di Furter takes flight once more...
