@tvvigjuice TELL HER THIS IS NOT HEALTHY OR NORMAL

While I get people's desire to draw parallels within the final four of Secret Life, I really feel like a lot of fanon attempts to juxtapose Gem killing Scott with Scar sparing Pearl are unfair to either Gem or Scott.

I see people imply that either Scott or Gem did something wrong in some way- either Scott unfairly pressured Gem into killing him or Gem devalued her ally by agreeing- and attribute this as the reason they lost in the end while Scar and Pearl- Pearl being 'less pushy' and Scar 'caring more' about his allies- won. The thesis seems to be that Gem made the 'wrong' choice, Scar made the 'right' one, and that's why Scar won over Gem.

Which. No.

The truth is that there was no 'choice' to be made.

At the point where Gem killed Scott, both Pearl and Scar individually had more hearts than Gem and Scott did combined (this is not an exaggeration. gem had 6 hearts, scott had 2.5, pearl had 15, and scar had 17), Scott was an easy one-shot for whoever took the first swing at him, and he had no way to regenerate health at that point. Scar chose to spare Pearl, yes, but Gem didn't "choose" to kill Scott, there was no real choice in the matter. Scott was, practically, already dead, and Gem was close enough if she didn't take the final swing (honestly, even the hearts from scott probably never would have been enough to save her).

I've said this before, but I genuinely believe that Gem and The Scotts were doomed, probably starting from the fight with Grian (who took a frankly shocking amount of health from them all things considered). That fight just spread them too thin, took too much of their health. Impulse died shortly after, and what health Gem and Scott did have was whittled away fighting a team twice their size. Gem and The Scotts were a powerful and competent team with ample resources, but they took a hit the mechanics of the game wouldn't let them recover from, and everything from that point was them desperately fighting against the odds trying to get one of them to the end, even if they must have known how bleak those odds were.

People have called it poetic. 'Gem lost because she didn't value her ally enough, Gem ironically died to a 2v1 after killing the one who would have fought beside her, funny that she's so bitter about the 2v1 when she 'chose' to kill her teammate while Scott didn't, etc. '

And it drives me insane because Gem didn't choose to kill Scott out of some callous desire for an advantage, Gem killed Scott because the latter half of their finale was a slow steadily worsening case study in helplessness and Scott gave Gem everything as an act of love, in the desperate hope that she could find a way despite the odds, (only for it all to be wasted, because it was two against one, and they didn't give gem the chance, and of course that left her bitter)

I'm just so insane about this.

okay so there’s two main languages. English and parkour.

parkour was the main one but it fell out of use when TEC and Seawatt showed up; seawatt was a nerd who studied English for fun (it was almost dead by this point) and decided to put it in everyone’s memories and that’s how it became so widespread.

parkour nowadays is only used very infrequently and in old books - that’s why the parkour book is in the chainmail library, as it hasn’t had access to the outside world for a while, and also explains why evbo has “been studying it” when presumably it should’ve been used widespread. This also explains the signs in the movie 1 house buying section

anyway there’s my two cents

We don't talk about how funny Shelby's character in Empires SMP season 1 is. LDShadowLady is a cursed ocean goddess. Scott is the champion of a god. Pearl's soul is bound to her kingdom and when she burns she ascends to godhood and is worshipped for the next thousand years. Then there's a 16-year-old gnome who just kind of hangs out in the woods. She has PTSD, wolves and a gun. She's filled with the indescribable rage, grief and uncertainty of being one of the last survivors of her species. She has a mushroom hat and makes cottagecore buildings she found on Pinterest.

Personally I think we should go harder with the water symbolism for Scott.

Limited Life is when it's most obviously drawn attention to, Scott is a being of the sea, it's shown in his skin and referenced a number of times, water very much symbolizes Limited Life Scott and his partnership with (and multiple deaths at the hand of) Martyn.

But that's not the only time Scott is connected to water.

Pufferfish and Axolotls are both aquatic creatures, the former being a very obvious symbol of Scott's relationship with Jimmy in Third Life and the latter being a symbol of his partnership with Cleo and Pearl in Last Life.

Furthermore, in Double Life, Scott and Cleo lived with a river separating them from (most) of the rest of the server, plus powdered snow (snow being frozen water) is a very easy symbol for the breakdown in Scott and Pearl's relationship and the ways they've hurt each other.

And then this season he builds his base on an island very far removed from the other factions with a giant water cave underneath?

The only season I can't immediately think of Scott having some kind of water-based symbolism is Secret Life, but I'm sure there's something.

I just think we as a fandom should use the water symbolism for Scott more outside of Limited Life, because it's definitely there.

My friend’s little brother (non-verbal) used to hide people’s shoes if he liked the person, because it meant they had to stay longer. The more difficult it was to find your shoes, the more he liked you.

One day my cousin came over, and she was a bitch. When it was time to leave, my friend’s brother handed her shoes directly to her and she went on and on about how he must have a crush on her because he only “helped” her.
