feels kinda refreshing going from watching wild life finale where I was pretty much rooting for a specific winner to mcc party where I was watching pink parrots with full faith they wouldn't make it to the dodgeball part, very relaxing

although I did start very much rooting for orange by the end there, but still, it was a lot of fun and very chill

Wild Life Finale Spoilers Ahead

😀

ngl at this point I've forgotten what it feels like hunting down the winner POV (watched in the order of Impulse -> Etho -> Joel)

and yeah, I'm a bit sad that Impulse didn't win, BUT!!! still very happy for Joel! he was actually one of my 2 top picks for Secret Life phphph (the other one was Gem)

anyway, now I gotta think about the lore, the implications!!! especially what his celestial symbol might be

Wild Life NameMC Spoilers Ahead

I'm losing my mind over here

okay, so I needed some references for something and went to namemc to look at Gem's skin

"Oh cool, she's matching hoodies with Pearl and Scott" I thought and almost went on my marry way

but then I decided to also check out Martyn's skin since I also kinda need references for him

"Huh" I thought, "maybe he switched to it during session 7? I haven't watched his POV so I've got no idea"

but then I looked at the time and date he used it

it was for the recording of session 8

fuelled by my curiosity I went on checking on other people, first of which was Pearl

my brain started coming up with angst scenarios (Pearl and Impulse are my winners POV pick lol)

but then I noticed that like 2 minutes later (if I saw it right) she was back to her red skin???

and she wasn't the only one, from which I remember people like Scott and Scar also went from gray to red

which brings me to my question

what in the hell is gonna be this session

I just finished reading chapter 21 of TAMN by @uhohbestie

and... yeah...

don't get me wrong, I've seen spoilers, I knew it was going to happen, I know what's gonna happen

but DAMN, I think I'll need a little break to be able to continue reading

I am sad that I got into it so late tho, I think by the time I'll catch up fully it'll be over and this is the only contribution I'll be able to make to the fandom while it's still in bloom :(

I wanna draw this so bad I wanna draw this so bad I wanna draw this SO DAMN BAD

"why don't you draw it then?" cause I'm working on a session 1 compilation animatic and quite frankly I'm running out of time

I sleep, work on it, take occasional breaks, go sleep and repeat all over again

I've watched about more than half POVs so far and I swear, Scar is talking about seeing stuff SO MUCH. coming across the B.E.T. team mining and taunting them about how they should "look around better", pointing out how the mountain provides great view on spawn, "I swear I thought I saw an enderman", his goddamn cape being a black background with 2 purple eyes on it, and I'm sure there's even more I'm not remembering

like, what is this man doinggg

did he only get out of Secret Life after becoming a watcher? is it just a natural consequence of winning AND surviving?? WHAT IS THIS

also, I gotta say, going from Etho POV straight to Martyn POV is quite a whiplash (although I imagine it'd be much stronger the other way around)

like, team renwood mining session is chill, you know right away that they'll stick together, they talk about being old men, Martyn gives Ren a diamond unprompted (at least I don't remember Ren asking? either way it's very chill)

meanwhile there's the B.E.T. team. not only do Bdubs and Etho spend pretty much their whole time on the surface arguing like an old married couple (which also carries on to their mining session), but also their mining session is so wild. every time someone finds loot or, gods forbid, diamonds, they're on each other's THROATS. like, they're acting as if the SECOND there's back on surface they're gonna run off in separate directions
