Hi psycho one hundreds I'm alive have my boys I love them very much
suddenly remembered the extreme kabedon meme. manifested this.
lew created a treebark isekai parody au and since i’m such a well adjusted individual i did the reasonable thing and spent 7 hours drawing this. and now there’s a fic! read it here
So this theory is basically how Real Life is Third Life created by the Watchers as a punishment for Grian and his group of friends or the other contestants.
After the success of the previous Life Series games that provived enough pain, anguish and drama to satisfy the Watchers, they decided to create a rendition of Third Life to torture Grian once again as afterall by lore standards, it was Grian who first created Third Life.
The twist the Watchers decided to implace onto Real Life where to incoporate compeititors such as Pearl who had a persona who would be easily influenced by bloodlust and dispose of the competitors that they had deemed too weak or ineffecient. This was all done in an attempt to replicate the feeling of torture and anguish at Grian and the other original contestants during Third Life.
But this ultimately failed as Real Life ended quickly through the combined efforts of the contestants crowning Cleo as the new victor. Completing the sextet of winners all linked together through their soul-link bonds. And having the Watchers fail in their endeavour to replecate Third Life as another death game punishment.
Shout out to the day i killed the queen via AO3, legendary (name of the fanfic is jigens sick adventure, yes it is a sickfic)
the idea of isekai time loops is rlly good ive just decided

Martyn jerks awake, scream caught in his throat. He wobbles terribly in his hammock, then falls to the floor, gasping for breath.
Somewhere to his left, someone barks a startled laugh. “Woah, man,” Skizz says, voice a little shaky from the scare. “You good?”
“Yeah,” Martyn breathes, then gulps in air. “Yeah,” he repeats, steadier this time. “Sorry, dude. Nightmare, I guess.”
“Oh- I woulda’ woken you up if I’d known you were having a nightmare. You seemed like you needed the rest, so I figured I’d let you sleep in.” Skizz rubs at the back of his neck. “We’re late right now, actually.”
Martyn blinks. “For what?”
“The engagement party!” Skizz says. “For Prince Bdubs and his Majesty! Etho came in earlier to grab us, but I stayed back.”
“For me.”
“For you!” Skizz grins, and Martyn raises a brow. “No, really! I wasn’t slacking, I mean it!” A beat. “…It doesn’t matter. Let’s go get ready.”
-
Suiting up in armour is second nature enough that Martyn doesn’t really have to think about it. Thank whatever deities are up there for that, because Martyn needs to think.
Because, well, he’s back to the beginning of the game again, apparently. And it means all his work has failed.
On the other hand, it’s good that he’s back, because his last memory before an option box appeared before his eyes was Ren’s dead body in his arms.
His fingers freeze on a buckle at the thought.
Can he go through it again? Can he get Ren to love him again? Can he do that?
The idea is terrifying. That Ren might not even allow him to approach, and he’ll learn that Ren has died again and he won’t be able to do anything about it and-
“Suited up, dude?”
Martyn blinks. Turns to look at Skizz.
“Oh. Yeah! Yeah, lead the way.”
Skizz gives him a strange look, but starts out the door anyway. “Come on, man, let’s find Etho.”
-
Martyn didn’t manage to work up the nerve to speak to Cleo- not after what she’d done to take the Prince’s hand. He barely restrained himself from cussing her out, or crying.
He finished talking to her and then left as quickly as he could. He managed to bump into Scar again, and he was fine- cordial.
The moment he leaves the ballroom is a moment of relief.
And then he speaks:
“Knight? Have you seen the Prince?”
Ren.
“No,” Martyn says, voice shaky. “No, apologies, Mi’lord.”
And what a strange way to speak to him, after months of him being Ren, and familiar, and- and his.
“Ah… He’s later than I thought he would be,” Ren muses. “I suppose I still can’t go into the ballroom like this.”
“Or,” Martyn says before he can stop himself. “You don’t have to go into the ballroom at all.”
Too blunt, Martyn thinks. Too much- he doesn’t know you.
“Excuse me?” Ren asks, ears flicking up in surprise.
No where to go except forward, Martyn decides.
“The prince doesn’t… love you. He has half a dozen other suitors, and it’s going to break you to try to keep him.”
“I’m not- what are you implying?”
“I’m not implying anything, mi’lord,” Martyn says, steadying himself and staring Ren right in the eyes. “I’m saying exactly what I mean. You won’t like how it goes, to keep trying to chase after him if he tries to leave you.”
“Is that a threat?”
Ren’s jaw is clenched. His hands are hidden under his cloak. He’s ready to fight.
Martyn forces himself to relax. “No,” he says, soft. “Not a threat. It’s… a warning, I guess. I’ve seen how he acts. I’ve seen how- how you act. And I really do wish for you to be happy. And I don’t think he can do that for you.”
I think I can, rests under his tongue.
Martyn is slow as he holds his hand out. Ren doesn’t seem to even notice, as he places his own hand on top.
“I recognize that this is overstepping my station but… Whatever you choose, I would be willing to stand behind you. This was my advice, but if you continue to go after him, I could- I would help you. I pledge to keep you safe.”
As safe as I can.
Ren, dead in his arms. A box that asks him if he wants to start over. Waking up at the start of it, again.
It’s habitual - he’s done this to Ren, all the time, so it’s easy. He presses his lips to the back of Ren’s hand, then pulls back. “Thank you for the audience, Ren.”
Martyn turns and opens the door back to the ballroom and leaves.
(He doesn’t realize his slip up until ten minutes later, and hopes he hasn’t fucked his chance up terribly by being too familiar with the king.)
-
Ren sucks in a slow breath, cheeks red and warm in the darkness of the halls.
He feels like he’s burning.
He thinks he could get used to it.
The kiss is hot on the back of his gloved hand, and he rubs a thumb over it, tail wagging slowly behind him.
He didn’t trust it, at first. He doesn’t know if he should, even now.
But he does. Someone who knew his name, who used his name, who cared enough to press a kiss to his hand, when everyone else would avoid touching him like he was death.
Ren considers the knight’s words.
He could have been trying to flirt himself into royalty.
… Ren isn’t sure he would stop him if he kept trying.
(How could he not fall in love with him, every single time?)

More headcannons regarding the Watchers and Listeners, what if there was more dieties besides the default Watchers and Listeners in the world of Evolution SMP and similar servers.
Orginally, the Watchers were based off the idea of that the viewers watching the player's videos were to input suggestions through comments. But now has evolved into a seperate entity different from the original premise into an etheral organisation who watches. Although the interpretation of the Watchers differ between viewers, the main concept of them being an evil presence is a common theme between ideas, but what if there was more dieties.
Both the Watchers and Listeners already exist and a common idea that links them is that they are two of the five common senses of the human body. Other fanmade concepts such as the Speakers from marsmarbles their Chained Life AU exist adding onto the original concept but what if there was another entity.
An entity that was there from the beginning. An entity more powerful than the Watchers and Listeners combined. A godly presence who created the Watchers, Listeners and all those who come after them like Khaos (Chaos) from Greek Mythology. A being whose concept relates to the mind as that is the body part that controls and operates the different organs of a body. Like a name of the Overmind(s) who spawned the Watchers and Listeners to help in their endeavor to expand the universe and whose descendants eventually became the Admins.
So in summary, what if there was more godly entities besides the Watchers and Listeners and what if an more etheral and ancient presence existed before the Watchers and Listeners. Thus, the Overmind.
