OK so I have. A headcanon that the previous winner will be the first to appear the most recent winner, in order to comfort them and calm them down and stuff.
Grian, the first, was all alone. But he knew what was going on.
When Scott won, Grian appeared to him. That makes sense, he's the administrator and the only player to win before.
When Pearl won, Scott appeared to her. Thst tracks, he had the most influence on her in that game and basically caused her death by killing himself.
Its around when Martyn wins Limited Life and Pearl appears to him that they realize the "previous winner" pattern. Because all they really had in common was going kinda insane towards the end. Fortunately Pearl is able to calm him down.
When Scar wins, Martyn clears his throat from behind him, raising an eyebrow. There's not a lot to say, they don't have much in common- but Martyn heaves a sigh and helps Scar stand up from his position kneeled in front of the Secret Keeper.
Scar is ecstatic when Cleo wins, jumping onto them a cheer and an excited yell. All of the bad feelings they had, if there were even any, melt away, and they are just happy.
Joel is clutching his head from the ender pearl death when Cleo appears in front of him, laughing so hard they keel over. Their laughter is infectious, and it takes a good twenty minutes for both of them to stop gasping for air.
I propose that whoever wins next nearly gets hit by Joel's car when he drifts into their world, and he rolls his window down, yelling for them to "Get in, we have so much to talk about!"
Have you ever thought of something in your own worldbuilding that you didn't intentionally plan, but just connect the dots afterwards like "wait, that actually checks out"?
Like in the story of the Book I Am Not Working On, there's the fisher folk. They don't fish, actually, they live in diaspora and nobody really knows why they're called that, anymore. They're more known for their numerous, strict and often seemingly random and nonsensical ritual purity rules, and stereotypically having absurdly large numbers of children. The twist is, they don't actually have more children than any other peoples of the Empire, their purity rules just ensure that they maintain higher levels of physical hygiene in everything to do with childbirth and handling infants - and therefore have a lower infant mortality than other peoples.
The "why do these people have huge families" thing also had another side: Fetishisation. The fisher folk's purity rules also involve no sex outside of marriage, and there's a myth on top of the stereotype that the reason why they seem to have a massive amount of kids is because their husbands are so good in bed that their wives cannot turn them down even if they're 100% done having kids. And since fisher folk do not have sexual relations outside of marriage, no outsider has had enough fisher dick to verify this.
But while they are loyal to partners, they are also polygamous, both ways around. A perfectly normal fisher marriage arrangement may feature a man and his two wives, and his second wife's first husband. One household may cover seven married partners, and all their mutual children. It's considered taboo to pry into which kids are "really" whose, paternity is unknowable and unless you were close enough to the family to know which one of the wives gave birth, the biological mother is none of your business either. Every partner in the marriage is equally a parent to each child born within it.
And this is where my own "wait hold on" comes in. Besides the lower mortality, the illusion of fishers having insane amounts of kids may also partially come from the way their families are structured. If you've just met a group of five people you don't know anything about, and they all claim that they have nine children each, it wouldn't cross your mind that they might all be claiming the same nine children.

Just why?
You are a supervillain who has just captured your rivalās child. Rather than being afraid, theyāre begging you to let them stay.
tv shows with time travel organizations/bureaus/police/agencies/whatever should have a department with instead of a tech genius eating candy, itās a harried seamstress or fashion designer who is like
ā1450 italy? does it look like I have the time to dye you wool? nO. YOUāRE GOING TO THE 1980sā
and throws shoulder pads at the hapless time agent
I donāt like when people who have lower needs or level 1 autism(usually) say stuff on how itās a stereotype that autistic people have aggressive behaviors towards themselves and others.
Because for me that is the case.
I loved my family, and I still do, I dont want to hurt them.
But I remember growing up I would bite people, especially my mom. I would bite her arms even when relaxed because I need needed the sensory stimulation.
Then it was myself, I would bite my fingers, my toes, and my family when having a meltdown.
I would thrash and hit and kick myself and people around me for no reason. Mainly when I was a toddler. I had lots of energy and didnāt know how to get it out.
I still have lots of āaggressiveā behaviors, mainly towards myself, and only people around me when Iām upset.
Itās usually hitting myself with my fists, throwing myself against walls and other people, biting myself, and this is when Iām not dysregulated. Just when I am understimulated.
Having aggressive behaviors is something autistic people, especially with level 2 and 3 autism, deal with on a regular basis.
It shouldnāt be something shamed, or taboo, or thought of as āa bad stereotypeā.
Because it is true for a big majority of people with autism.
so i was rewatching third life recently and i thought it was so funny how in the first few episodes grian is like "omg i'm so sorry that this isn't the fun collaborative season i had planned i can't believe how chaotic this is now" and then in wild life he was so pissed off about joel and his car because it wasn't death and destrucion enough. like damn grian the watchers really got you into all this death game stuff huh?
