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.

[Day 2]
[ID: A monochromatic purple drawing of GeminiTay as a Watcher. She has three pairs of wings instead of ears, and a big pair of wings on her back. She's wearing a dark colored undershirt, and she has fabric draped around her shoulders and tied around her waist as a belt. She has a chocker, an eye shaped necklace, and glasses.
She's extending her arms and winking with a maniacal grin. The wings on the side of her closed eye have glowy purple eyes on them. /End ID]
Watcher Gem, requested by my friend Cyn!

The Nights Before Winter - 1 || Grian
part 1 || part 2 || part 3
“Grian!”
Gem hurried over the moment she’d caught sight of him.
Grian groaned, sinking down to the ground and hiding behind his now purple dipped pale wings.
“Again? That’s the fourth time this month,” she sat down on the floor next to him as he leaned against his fishing hut.
“I don’t know wh-why,” he opened his eyes a little, long enough for Gem to catch a glimpse of purple.
She put a hand on his shoulder, “You’ll be okay… Just breathe.”
Grian was warm, too warm.
“Are you cold?” The ginger asked. To which the blonde replied with a nod.
Gem rose to her feet. “I’ll go get some meds. Stay here okay?”
Another nod.
She flew back in a minute later with a potion of instant health in hand.
“I need you to down this whole thing for me okay?”
Grian groaned in protest, finding the thought of medicine unpleasant.
“Come on…… It’s for your own good and you know it.”
He took the glass bottle from Gem’s hand and chugged down the pink liquid reluctantly, gagging a little at the taste.
“There… That wasn’t so bad wasn’t it?” Gem sat back down next to him, caressing his wing’s radius.
The colour of his wings started to fade back to the usual parrot colours he always wore.
Grian heaved a sigh as he peeked out of hiding. “Th-Thanks Gem.”
One of his eyes still glowed purple when he opened them and hurried to hide it when he realised.
Gem smiled warmly at him as she bagged the empty glass bottle.
“What do you think is causing… this?” she asked, hoping it wasn’t too soon.
“I think……”
Grian mumbled as his left eye returned to normal.
“I think the next season of bloodshed is coming.”

So I've been brainrotting hard about Gemcyt lately.
Gemcyt au belongs to the one and only @chrisrin!
I kind off started drawing Aquamarine Grian before I saw the official design and I placed his gem over his left eye bc I thought it would look cool if he got a watcher form with multiple eyes and yadda yadda a lengthy process later and I have crafted a whole fanfiction outline and several designs and lore.
From the left to right we have: Canon Aquamarine Grian, then we got YHS Aquamarine Grian (gonna flesh out his lore in future posts hopefully) and then Classic Link skin Aquamarine Grian. There also exists a Kingdom of Valor variant in my head.
The idea is that our canon Aquamarine Grian isn't of course the only one of his kind and there were a lot of other "GRI" cuts made after him and even some before him.
Each of them exuded amazing properties like weapon manipulation, interrogation skills, wind control and were experimented on by the diamonds and then forcefully fused into a perfect mega Aquamarine. Omnipresent with eyes all over the universe.
Except it didn't work out mixing 21 Aquamarines into one, even if most of them were from the same GRI cut.
Just saying tho, I didn't go that much into "Watcher" Grian concept I was excited for in the first place cuz I was feeling tired, but I'm defintiely going to redesign him and make him more freaky in the future.

Hey, sorry for the wait and low quality- life kinda distracted me.
Here’s your request. I don’t know much about gem and this is my first time drawing her. I didn’t know if you wanted her from empires or hermitcraft so I did a mix of both. I really like how people draw her skin from empires2 so I tried to incorporate that. Her wings are supposed to have crystals in them but I didn’t have time to detail them to look like crystals, sorry-
I think she’d be a savior of some sort.

Anyone remember my Gem is a Watcher drawing from.... Wow it was a year ago-
It was before I got all the mutuals I have now so I don't expect anyone to remember it. Anyway, it's got a better pose, and better hands and Gem's hair is closer to her irl hair (I don't think I'd seen Gem's facecam this time last year!)
Ngl I'm rlly proud of this- (If you want to find the og, if you search 'Watcher Gem' on my blog, it should come up!)

Thinking about how Gem's tasks have progressed through this season.
S1: Gem has to get another player to trust her.
S3: Gem is the one who has to open the End portal. (Bdubs has to kill the dragon later. Both are hard tasks given to them as punishment from the secret keeper. Both are very blunt and abrupt with their wording.)
S4: Gem has to lie to the whole server.
S5: She's pitted against another player in a race that only one of them can succeed in.
S6: She has to lie to everyone AGAIN. The task is almost identical to the one before, only with a shorter time frame.
S7: Gem gets the task that almost kills the whole server. Specifically named the boogeyman CURSE. She has no choice but to carry out the demands of the secret keeper.
Thinking about how she came into this series knowing exactly what it demanded of her and was ready to deliver exactly that. The way that her tasks escalate, the way they seem to revolve around the building of trust and then breaking it, then she receives and carries out tasks that shape the very nature of the game
Almost as if... Someone is testing her.
(thanks @valeriapriyanikova for your spreadsheet data it's what sent me down this spiral in the first place and I'm gonna be using it for more lorespiracies later <3)

Three pairs of siblings each feel like something slightly different is wrong; some can place it and others cannot.
