So I finally got around to watching the Parrotswag Wedding and holy shit. I have no words that was the most transcendent thing ive ever witnessed. I need everyone to watch this immediately, ESPECIALLY if you have no other context about Lifesteal.

Everything from Ash typing "I USED TO BE A GOD. I AM BEYOND ANGRY" in chat to the spontaneous dance party to the fact that you can physically HEAR the effort Ash is going through to not just eviscerate everyone in the building on the spot. Parrot proposing they murder Pangi instead of kissing. impersonating the "i do's" in chat. "you may now kiss the bri-" MURDER CHAOS MURDER. "Stay out of this PrinceZam I'm bridezilla." "My wife is trying to kill my daughter and I dunno how to feel about it." Branzy is a legally ordained minister in real life so in the eyes of the Lord they are actually married. outstanding. incredible. the only way a wedding on lifesteal should ever go.

(more screenshots under the cut)

Branzy: Do you take Ashswag as your lawfully wedded wife?

Reddoons is not Ares coded I’m sorry

So I was watching the Ozzaworld stream (ft. Acho) where they worked together to place people in the different cabins that exist within the Percy Jackson world. This was their final tier-list. 

There’s many of their choices I agree with, many I disagree with, but there’s none that I would disagree with more than Reddoons in Ares and boy am I ready to state my case.

Why am I doing this? What are my qualifications?

Well, dissertation writing is boring and I was a Percy Jackson kid, so I'm essentially entirely justified to do this.

Firstly, their logic of placing people was as follows: they tended to focus more on the creator’s persona and content for the sake of ease, and also so the stream didn’t last forever. This resulted in choices such as Martyn InTheLittleWood as being in Hephaestus, MythicalSausage in Hermes, and Guqqie in Apollo. Regardless of how accurate these choices are, it remains that they were made because of stream content and the streamer’s online persona.

When it came time to decide on a cabin for Redd, Ozzaworld hovered over his pic and said “Reddoons.. I’m assuming this is all you” to Acho, although admitting that if he had to pick for Redd, despite his only knowledge being some clips mainly from Pirates SMP, he “think[s] PVP and I think Ares”, before following it up with a disclaimer that “I’m sure there’s more nuance to them than that”. 

Acho starts his ranking by saying how big of a personality Redd has and that although they’ve met, it was at TwitchCon which is perhaps not the best metric to discover someone’s “true” personality. Acho quickly admits that Redd is just so Ares-coded in his type of content (“I also think of PVP cause he’s a little sweat”), and that it’s so easy to place him as being in the Ares cabin that he was tempted to place him in Zeus with KyleEff. They discuss a little further but ultimately decide that “Zeus would work but [Reddoons] had to be in Ares”.

I would agree with them on a lot of the things they said but in my opinion, the final conclusion they came to was not the right one. 

For example, when placing Jojo in Ares, they didn’t hesitate in her placement at all and mentioned her being the first port-au-call when it came to getting mentoring in PVP within their content creator space. Her skills and enjoyment in fighting characterises her as an Ares cabin resident. The difference with Reddoons is, the way you see him fight is different. Sure, Reddoons enjoys fighting but often (at least on Lifesteal), he spends his time avoiding fights unless he’s certain he can win them. I could see him as a child of Mars, yes, but a child of Ares leaves out some of the biggest motivations in his persona: self-preservation and pragmatism.

If you watch some of his older One Try SMP videos it’s shocking how loony tunes his logic is, and how well it works for him. Yet, all throughout he doesn’t forget the deadly nature of the server and however wacky his hijinks are, he is still constantly refining his plans and changing up his strategy.

I’d be more inclined (out of the options immediately available) to place him in the Athena cabin due to his skill at battlefield strategy rather than his raw PVP skill. However, in light of watching him work his way through Midmysticx’s ARG... Let's just say that I also have some doubt about that placement.

Athena leaves out the greed that is inherent within his persona (and all others but his persona’s greed is all-consuming). His hubris would be pride, overestimating his skill and underestimating others, maybe not accounting for those he doesn’t think of as threats, but he’s not 100% an Athena kid. I also wouldn’t be too inclined to place him in Zeus, as there’s an aspect of natural leadership implied there —the children of Zeus establish themselves as natural leaders, even in unfamiliar situations with people they don't know well— and Reddoons is a self-proclaimed hater of social situations. He does well in them, but that doesn’t erase how much time he spent in Pirates talking to the NPCs instead of other players.

It’s a shame that Ozzaworld and Acho didn’t cover Hades or Nike in their rankings because those are the two I’d probably lean towards, other than Athena. Reddoons is all strategy and skill but those are due to him “being a little sweat” and his relentless drive towards his goals. Hades covering both wealth and death is convenient as it merges his monetary greed (as expressed on Lifesteal and Pirates) and the ever present nature of mortality in all his characters. Nike is a lot more self-indulgent and (considering my criteria) would fit a lot of the other members of Lifesteal, but his self-preservation in Lifesteal leads to this obsessive need to always come out on top no matter what. He does try to make the wisest decisions on the battlefield but also clearly has the impulse to attempt a risky move, to risk it for a victory he seeks. Also his Blockwars records. Man’s a winner.

I guess my ranking would probably be as follows:

One Try SMP: Ares

Outsiders SMP: Hades

Earthbound SMP: Nike

Lifesteal SMP: Nike 

Blockwars: Nike

Pirates SMP: Hades

So technically, I think Nike wins but I’m tempted towards Hades because of the whole death theme. A Lifesteal fan is a fan of death symbolism, go figure ig.

Either way, I’d argue his aptitude and enjoyment of battle does mean that whilst the Ares cabin makes sense, those are, in fact, the side effects of his bigger motivators in terms of self-preservation, greed, and an overall desire of victory. Also Ozzaworld and Acho’s stream was super fun so check it out if you like Percy Jackson lol.

the cleansing has got to be my favorite arc in all of lifesteal hands down (so far)

handwriting transcript just in case: come to team chaos we have glitch in the matrix, just some guy, also just some guy, ?? ????? (clownpierce), and weird bird thing

[clownpierce]

take (2)! I swear to god if i DID write a paragragh and tumblr just erased it i'm going to do something /silly

ANYWAY: i am INSANE abt CLOWN MIKE I AM SHAKING YOU. i watched most of his pov last night for s3 and i have a pavloc response in the form of stress to his fights now, ITS . IT'S SO. i am biting into a brick just at like ? clown is weirdly trusting and also distrusting; like he doesn't trust people and he easily betrays people, but he trusts ppl like ranshanbo and parrot and gets betrayed its wild, my clown in christ you "'trust"" the WRONG ppl BUT ITS ALSO LIKE. he's p loyalwhen he gets loyal, until he ISN'T . but he stays true to certain people; like parrot and rek and ash and branzyand forms the chaos group likeWHAT .

and he giggles alot and im . normal; FUCKING BRANZYY I havent even watched branzys pov but it's "this is why i love you" , "not in public branzy," "no one touches branzy" he gave branzy FOUR OF HIS HEARTS . thw guy who made a group to hoard hearts gave 4 of them away . and yeah irs bc the peace but not to be silly but he would have probably gave the hearts to branzy regardless!!!!!!!!

hes also so silly . like the way he acted sad when leo didn't accept a drink; the way hes so blood thirsty and like a guard dog . hes so . SPINNING HIM AROUND . i love him

yessss YESSSSSSS 🫵🫵🫵 YESSSSSSS THE BRAIN WORMS THWYRE IN YOUR HEAD YOU SO GET IT

He trusts without trusting and he's using people without using them and he's sooooooooo . He plays the bad guy but he's also the bag guy because everyone views him like that. They all decided he was in that role, and then he slots right into it (slot machine pun)

IM SOOOOO OBASSESSED WITH HIS ASS. CLOWNPEIRCE BE UPON YEE

[clownpierce]

Haven’t really posted about this but BOTH TRIOS IN THE mcyt-trios POLL ARE FROM LIFESTEAL

Super super exciting

[clownpierce]

I got added to the Lifesteal smp :D

[clownpierce]

The coolest thing about Clown, in my opinion, is that he's not a clown. He's a jester. Usually, there's not much of a difference.

...Until there is.

Because, clowns are the entertainment act at children's parties and circus performances. Sure, Clown had the circus, but he wasn't the attraction, he was the master. Clown was never made for tomfoolery, he isn't a clown as much as his name might imply. Jesters, made to impress and bring even royalty to their knees with mirth, are masters of foolery and lies. They're close to royals, Jesters are powerful in the ways that they know even how to tumble monarchs, either with mirth or with pain. Clown has always been powerful, from the second he declared himself such. Jesters weasel their way into castles and cottages alike and put on a performance to die for. Clown has always been a jester, one for grand displays and marvelous feats.

Clown has always been a jester, and lifesteal is his chance to put on the performance of a lifetime.

#can't believe i haven't seen this until now

[clownpierce]

I could talk for so long how fucking cool the parallel between spoke and planet is but I cannot put it into a tumblr essay post I'll do it like this:

something something ying and yang something something there's good in bad and there's bad in good

something something about your efforts being recognised even though you weren't the one winning

something something about the fact that they teamed up for the season 5 like immediately

(I know that it's bc of ccs and shit bro. it's so cool that after being so antagonistic towards each other they actually got together) (and their like. actions changed too.) (which is also bc of ccs themselves but nobody say a thing)
