“Did you choose to ignore the fact that it was you, or-

Did you not recognise yourself?”

From the latest Guess The Build video

That line just went crazy for some reason, felt like it needed to be used in some way

NAHSJDJHD SO GOODD AANNHSHDSJDIFNN

safe keeping

Grian really went from “Jimmy and Scar are dead to me” to mourning Scar, talking about how he held off on activating his trap because he didn’t want to kill Scar, fully considering him an ally.

And then promptly killing the other BAMboozlers as soon as Scar was out of the way

These men are never beating the allegaytions

Gang let's leave the Canary Curse behind. It broke in Secret Life. Vestigial traits can carry over, sure, but it's over. Mumbo has only died immediately after Jim twice, and now this one time hes died first- he's not the new canary, and neither is Lizzie, who just had really bad luck and is doing amazing this season. It sucks that has only been happening to them, while Grian died first in Real Life and, by that logic, would also be a canary.

That being said it would be so funny if Mumbo woke up back on Hermitcraft and had to comb some feathers out of his mustache. But let's leave it at that ey? Just a little refrence, a little "ough, you had it rough" symbolism when they wake up in another server- whisked away by the resuscitation device.

I have no idea how Jimmy feels about all the canary symbolism now, but as of Sos SMP he had basically accepted it (a quote where he named his elytra "Canary wings" and said "they're a part of me now, it's not lore", it's worth pointing out this is solidly after Secret Life). Hence I will keep using it as inspiration for his character and for some refrences. However we should take an actual look at canary symbolism.

Well, doesn't that seem like our vagyely unlucky guy. He's always hopeful, very optimistic, worried about his friends safety (even if he isn't allied with them), and can be relatively vulnerable. Most of all, after so many times of dying first (and being targeted in other series), he's kept his head up high, and kept his eyes on the prize, always swearing that this will be his season. He's the most resilient person I can think of. This is how we can still characterize him as a canary.

Remember, the Curse isn't just about laughs and poking fun at an unlucky player, the Curse has been broken, and you shouldn't force the Curse on other players. That's all thank uuuuu <3

Frankly i dont know eirher even though i've been following along with the series, however i am dying at everyone having an astral assignment exept for joel and his CAR

I've returned to my love of the life series, but I'm a bit out of the loop. Can someone explain to me the lore behind the astral assignments to the hermits and also the watcher lore?

Beautiful pair of posts to see one after the other today

everyone trying to shoehorn in another celestial body theme for this season's winner but i think we're missing the obvious. guy with the car won the traffic series.

You are what you eat: Mimic Edition!

(Close ups below the cut)

Those are draft and the close ups! This piece took so much time ;-; and I’m so proud of how it came out :DD getting this out before finale is so tiring holy smokes

Couldn’t fit all the cookies in since the poster was a spontaneous thing, but I like how the cookies turned out!! Looking very edible >:)

Jimmy’s head is lopsided purposely bc Grian likes to mess with him that way.

Here’s Skizz (and Cleo!) blocked by Grian’s arm btw:

I’ve got some Easter eggs in there, tell me if you can spot any of them!!!!

oh dear my hands slipped and accidentally spent hours drawing owl ratio

(no i didnt i have been thinking about this for months)

Big fan of Grian chastising everyone at the very beginning for having too much fun with their powers and not killing each other, only for him to turn around and whisk Scar away on a magic carpet ride

Ok but in all seriousness its so ADORABLE that they sleep in eachoter's beds on the different smps like i love the fanart that's spawned with the bamboozlers but desert duo still being there and now i want fanart of this too like its so CUTEE AAAAAHHHHHH

Guys you know what's funny

Grian had the flying accident because he wanted to show off to scar. He was planning on going out swiftly and be all cool and shit and instead ate a face full of ground 😭😭😭

Very sad that we missed out on Scott copying/turning into Bdubs' horse and Scar using his ability to ride him. That'd have been so funny.

Imagine people asking Scar if he stole that horse, and then Scott's like "no I want to be here". Great bit.

can they stop

OP YOH FORGOT THE 6TH ONE , YOU FORGOT GRIANN

So somehow I became the official writer for the boatem knights au by @applestruda! Yay!! The boatem knights au is pretty self explanatory- boatem are knights! You can find tons of amazing art for it on Bee's page or by scrolling through the #boatem knights au tag!

How It Started

This comic by Bee (aka applestruda) came across my dash, and the brainrot began!

I sent this anon ask to Bee of an angst idea, because I am a big angst lover.

After that, I sent this ask to Bee once again on anon

Soon after, I posted the first part of the series, which can all be found linked below!

to be honest I think working on a sewing machine strains my eyes as much as being on a computer does. However, I am incentivized to remain alert and focused by keeping my fingers within stabbing distance of a needle making 60 stitches per minutes.

Hugs

people who only use conventional social media are so funny bc they’ll casually be like “can I see your tumblr??” are you Insane. this is no instagram or twitter. this is my vault of secrets

must a fictional relationship be “healthy” or “functional”? is it not enough to simply watch two made up people destroy each other, hand in unlovable hand???

boy I wonder why the safety glass is there

I've seen a lot of people take scar's "what happened in third life?" question and interpret it as scar not remembering third life—which makes for a very fun idea

however, I'd like to offer:

scar and grian’s entire interaction is the two of them trying to gauge where they stand with one another. grian’s hesitant “…just like in third life” is a silent question, both trying to discern if scar remembers the desert, and how he feels about it. it’s his hesitant foot forward

scar remembers third life—of course he does. he knew so many of the answers to the questions. he remembers every little detail of that game, because it was probably where he was happiest

he only asks grian “what happened in third life?” because it's a test. he's testing the waters between them, now standing as two victors on equal footing, equal ground. he plays dumb because it's scar, and he never shows every card in his hand, every trick up his sleeve. before scar takes any kind of step forward, he needs to know how grian will explain the desert, what he’ll say about it.

he asks “what happened in third life?” but there’s more questions lying in it. “do you still care?” “am I safe to trust you with my heart?” “did it mean something to you?”

scar is sneaky like that, subtle, as he pretends he doesn’t know or doesn’t remember. he needs to see what grian’s reaction is before they take up their dance again
