#watcher!gem

So, I can officially say, Gem is probably the most adaptive to the wildcard, it basically means nothing to her

Session one: basically stays default height the whole time

Session two: instantly figures out the eating thing and easily adapted whenever it randomized

Session three: one of four people who didn't die to their snail

Session four: instantly figures out that everything is going to be extremely fast by the end

Session five: one of the only two people who got no questions wrong

Session six: wasn't even her biggest problem, it was people, who also weren't really threats

Session seven: literally got watcher abilities and gathered useful information and to even kill her, it needed four attempts, an obsidian box, a teleporter, an obsessed with killing her Pearl, a red bigb to start it, and a beast boy green Scott to finish her since no one else would, which he then just says is "freeing her from the shackles of green" and Gem's first thought is "I get to kill so many people now!" Also, Gem still almost escaped before Scott took over, so if she were a bit faster with the water, she could have very well survived that too

Episode 8: Honestly, she did so well, and I've already talked about how well she handled the wildcards before, and considering this was just repeat wildcards, you get the point, I wish she won, but I'm glad someone in the family won at least, now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to exterminate an entire race of vexes

I was making addendums to this list two days after whenever each session uploaded so I could keep track of how well she handled everything so I would edit this from time to time, but obviously, the season has come to a close, so no more edits

i LOVE the idea that the events of secret life were a secret from even the watchers themselves and that gem was sent in as an undercover spy to maintain control but they ultimately couldn’t because they weren’t able to see what was happening outside of the area that held the secret keeper, so their only way to gain info was either at the end of each session when everyone met up to discuss their tasks or through gem, who they have open the portal to the end where martyn (who defied the watchers and won last season) instantly dies — and then lizzie dies and they’re furious because the curse is broken, and whether it be through suspending lizzie in the void, sending a warden and wither to kill jimmy or tasking gem with killing the whole server, all the following events of the series were a punishment sent by the watchers for undermining their control

Okay Hermitblr (and Trafficblr) hear me out, as much as I love all the watcher Grian stuff and it's canon as anything can we talk about how much evidence there is for Watcher!Gem?

She canonically dimension hops, she is a pvp master, and she has a unique quiet terror about her that puts off "don't fuck with me if you wanna live" while having the cheeriest smile ever

I could absolutely spin a tale of the watchers growing bored of the life series so throwing her down there and giving her plot armor is an amazing concept until like the last minute of the series where I swear Grian slipped them a note with the title "wouldn't it be funny if Scar"

I'm not saying this is Canon I'm just saying the fanon opportunities are there and y'all are sleeping on them.

The moment I saw her power my first thought was "Hmm there's going to be a spike in Watcher!Gem headcanons, aren't there?" So far I have been let down by my feed

so you're telling me gem's power is basically that she's a watcher. okay

zone out, chat shit with the dead, become a watcher god. normal stuff really

[valverii]

guys can someone please explain the watcher/listener lore to me like i’m 5

[waytooobsessedwithmcyt]

Look me in the eyes and explain to me why Gem confirmed her empires character was a inter dimensional goddess, Gem opened the end portal for the first time, and Gem's new power is literally watching people and yet I'm still the only one screaming "GEM'S A WATCHER" in this corner

Please join me in insanity I'm lonely

Blacked out for a second and got this

Watcher Gem!

You can't tell me Gems super power in wild life session 7 didn't give off strong watcher vibes

Planetary body this, planetary body that. JOEL GETS A CAR. Why? I think in watcher lore, he wasn't supposed to win. I think Ren was. But Joel was teamed up with Gem who canonically seems to say "F u" to watchers and is just world hopping for fun. She gave him protection from the narrative and was willing to die to let him win. Grian extended his protection in the end, protecting him from the Watchers and Ren in those last few moments. Joel's not a planetary body, he's not Jupiter. Ren is. (Jupiter is the king of the gods, Ren is the Red King, narratively he had the coolest thing this season imho with losing Martyn *again*) But Joel with Gem's help and Grian's blessing won. He's not a planet, he's manmade defiance of the rules of the universe.

Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

[buggy-blocks]

Real ending of wild life is Joel riding off into the sunset with his car

[tosha-cor]

a few sketches with Grian and one with Jem and Joel

[evieble3h]

Anyone thinking about Watcher Gem? No?

Just me then...

Non-Watcher version

[prismaticutie]

Can someone make angst art of Gem and Joel at the Spanner meeting room (from Grian's POV) that is like a gif that glitches back to Mumbo and Skizz and has like the text of whatever Grian was saying about how it's like they've "been there the whole season" or "it's not weird at all". And also when it glitches to Mumbo and Skizz there's like dark sky purple watchery motifs and eyes around them

Something about how Gem sacrificed her eye to the void last season, how she’s confirmed that it’s still (permanently) missing

and how this episode she can now see everything, on this plane and beyond
