Immediately going on my calendar, I've been waiting with bated breath; only death or a coma will stop me from getting my name in there :D I am super normal about all of this definitely *silently frothing at the mouth looking at sketchy saturday posts*
As you can see on our lovely lil poster (made by @pinkish29) we're opening applications for the next round on the 30th of April! The period the apps are open will be for nearly three weeks (ending on May 20th) to give anyone plenty of time to apply. See below the Project Lumen banner for more info on the roles we have open!
Have you ever wanted to know what the life series would look like as a video game? Well we've got the answer for you! Project Lumen is an RPG-like game revolving around all the series of the life smp, with twists and turns, multiple storylines that can possible diverge from the 'canon' timeline. There will be mini games, quests related to each episode of a season, and much more!
Here's a basic rundown of what we're doing:
You, the player, are introduced as the Watcher Child (WC for short. They're the character in the poster above!). You are an apprentice within the Watchers, and your job is to follow and guide the champions chosen by the Watchers themselves through challenges and enemies. Featuring unique leveling systems, DnD inspired classes, and, most importantly, the ability to impact the story with the choices you make… because, after experiencing all the Life Series seasons from both the Watcher and the Player side, maybe you’ll have a change of mind. After all is said and done and seen, the world is yours to shape, Watcher Child.
We are looking for both writers and background artists!
Writers will be in charge of helping getting the script together, creating dialogue and helping create both canon timelines and alternate timelines. Your job is to make the world real through the characters, the story, and the world. You don't need script writing experience though, you'll be given opportunities to learn if you're selected. We're just looking for those willing to learn and dedicate time towards this beautiful game!
Background artists, which are the most awesome people ever you should really become a background artist, will create the backgrounds for things like fights and loading screens. It's your job to mold the world of the life series for this project. You get to draw things like the Secret keeper from secret life, the relation-ship from double life, the forest burning and the desert deserting in third life, and everything in between!
Please keep in mind this project is a long-term project that takes many months to complete. The workload, though, is extremely manageable and everyone currently working on it is having a blast!
If you have any questions at all, give us a shout (an ask)! We'll be extremely happy to answer any questions, especially of what it's actually like creating for this project (it's awesome), because we're already partway through third life.
Looking forward to seeing all of your applications, and meeting all you lovely people who manage to get in!!!

Adding this here as a random detail I'd thought of but forgot to mention; Mumbo, Lizzie, Etho, and Joel all live together, and Joel and Lizzie are secretly married (Mumbo's got a dad high up in tech stuff and threw enough money at the marriage people to keep it on the down-low). Mumbo and Lizzie are a platonic pair and Etho and Joel present as dating, but they don't really mean it, and all four of them have a friday activity where they all eat dinner together for at least one hour and reminisce about the funny or annoying things that happened to them that week. Also Mumbo and Lizzie jokingly call them SmallEtho specifically because they hate it lol. Mumbo's dad is sometimes annoyed that he's not officially dating Lizzie. The only people who know about the marriage are those four and Cleo's girl group.
I should go to bed
Hey hey wonderful Trafficblr peeps, especially @whiver-wyverncat lovely mutual <3 love you lots
So I was rewatching Scott's Double Life, and I had a fanfiction idea that needs rating (I don't know if this has already been done, but either way I thought it could be a fun thing after I finish the Joelzzie siren AU)
Modern, Soulmates AU, where everyone's paired up like Double Life, along with Skizz & Gem and Mumbo & Lizzie. Scott is the main PoV. People who haven't found/don't reside with their soulmates after they're in their 20s are kind of seen as having failed in life, and dating someone other than your soulmate is absolutely SCANDALOUS
Soulmates share a tattoo on their hands. They'll also have any injury done to their soulmate appear on them until they meet. Scott and Jimmy dated in college before Jimmy found Tango, and they broke up on sour terms (Jimmy got sent to the ICU because of Tango, which is where they met, and Jimmy thinks Scott abandoned him there, but actually the nurse people wouldn't let Scott see Jimmy because they weren't soulmates. Scott got angry at the idea of "soulmates" after that and when he found out Jimmy found his soulmate, he got really flighty and Jimmy decided to break it off.)
A couple years later, Scott's living with his college friend Cleo, and Cleo has a girl friend group and they realized Pearl's tattoo looks similar to Scott's (Scott wears gloves but Cleo's seen it before he started wearing them) and when Scott ends up out with Cleo they stumble into her friends who insist they get Scott and Pearl to meet and check if they're soulmates
Scott gets trauma triggered and goes on a bad bender the night before they're supposed to meet and (ironically) ends up in the ICU. The Girl Group gets Pearl in there because she suddenly felt awful and they're like "alright let's get to Scott now" and the worst happens, and they're Soulmates
Enemies-to-friends with hints of will-they-won't-they (but they won't) about challenging the amatonormative society with gay and platonic shenanigans. (also Scott and Jimmy make up in the end dw)
Ok so I was just talking to a couple of my friends about the Lion King, right? And we had this hilarious thought that what if Scar was bitten by a spider instead of a cobra (how he got his scar, y'know)
But as I was forming the thought, my brain betrayed me, so it went like
What I meant to say: "What if Scar (lion)..."
What my brain immediately thought of: "What if Scar (Hermitcraft)..."
So yeah, that's how this month's hyperfixation's been going, how about yours?
Literally yes
steals for the fic again
I like to imagine that the Bambloozers just roughly translated their names from how sirens names work to human english
thats so much more interesting than my idea LMAOOO i was thinking they probably just picked random ones they thought were nice 😭,,,
Lizzie picking hers because she heard it once and thought it was cute,,, id like to also think that jimmy kept trying to name himself stupid stuff so lizzie gets fed up with it and just tells him to name himself jimmy,,, scar just taking a look at himself and going "hrmmmmmm yes this will be a great name" 😭😭
"homosexuality is unnatural! there's only two genders! it's a sin-"
I'm sorry, have you seen NATURE???
ALSO THE ARTIST IS HUMON, FIND THEM AT HUMONCOMICS.COM!! was so sure I had included that but apparently I forgot, so sorry!
and there's so many more species than this that exhibit homosexuality, varying genders, etc. SO! MANY!
it's very much a natural thing. it always has been. unfortunately, while homosexuality is found in many species, homophobia is only found in one
EDIT: added a keep reading cause this is a long post lol
EDIT: everyone in the comments needs to shut up or I will turn comments off, stop arguing, jeez
Y'all, I need help...
I need tips for writing Joel? Cause I've got a Chapter 2 lined up from Joel's perspective where he's coming back on the ship, but I don't know how to write it
If it helps, here's what I've got:
"The ship was in full disarray. The crew rushed back and forth, heaving lines and tightening the sails, throwing the sandbags overboard. Everyone was ecstatic to be returning home after three years at sea, "
Yes that's all that's in the chapter right now and yes I stopped in the middle of a sentence
PLEASE HELP I'M GOING CRAZY BUT I NEED TO FINISH THIS PART AND ESTABLISH THE JOELOTTIAN TRIO BEFORE I CAN GET BACK TO LIZZIE AND HER SHENANIGANS
