I’m gonna talk abt this again bc I have brain rot: when we talk abt themes across the life series I feel like more people need to talk abt how Martyn and Ren are almost perfect opposites to Grian and Scar

Particularly in the fact that fate seems to force Grian and Scar together repeatedly after the events of 3rd life, whether this be Grian going to Scar for a life in last life or Grian and Scar being forced together as soulmates in double life, even in 3rd life the events that forced Grian and Scar together were a pure accident

On the other hand, Ren and Martyn repeatedly defy fate, they come together by choice and choose to stay together no matter the circumstances, no matter who’s against them, when the rules of the server say they can’t be together they defy them and form secret alliances in which they can be together

If fate is constantly bringing Grian and Scar together no matter the circumstances then Ren and Martyn are the opposite, fate keeps trying to come between them yet they repeatedly defy it just to be together

Desert duo horses

I didn’t LOVE the designs i did a few years ago and i literally have the ability to redraw and redesign anything i want so i did :3 i liked these colors more since they’re not so desaturated but i still love natural palettes (I’ll learn to use unnatural colors eventually ^_^”)

I’m a bit on the fence about the names since i do like their normal screen names but i wanted to think of smth fun for em!

Scar’s magic is still green and as much as i love pesky bird colors for Grian, i like to draw him in his sweater so the red in red would clash too much ╮(￣▽￣"")╭

#talk to me about ponies! would love to hear personal headcanons #life series members or hermits!#grian #goodtimeswithscar #mlp hermitcraft #hermitcraft au #mlp au #hermitblr #trafficblr #dox doodles

What decides whether a fic is good enough to read is some actually opening the fic and starting to read— if the syntax, grammar, and plot are engaging then I bookmark it or mark it for later and go back to my filtered search! And if it’s REALLY intriguing, then I’ll just stay on that page to binge it!

Ultimately, AO3 works so well for authors and creatives because there’s no algorithm to push the fics getting a lot of kudos and there’s no anxiety over needing to “get lucky” when someone posts their work. It’s truly equal opportunity with readers using the filter system and as long as you’re decently tagging your fics, they will be found and read. And even without a lot of tags or for original works with no fandom, I find SO many amazing reads through AO3!

Another AO3 thing I’m curious about, how do yall decide if something is good enough to read? Usually I follow a rule of 1 kudos for every 10 hits. One because it’s easy math and two it’s yet to fail me. Thoughts? Do you just go for it and pray it’s good?

:( why on earth would you do this to me

I think we need to talk about Scott’s third life death scene more often, specifically about the scene directly afterward with Martyn and Ren.

It’s so fucked up that Martyn chases after Scott, not hurting or actually touching him but follows him so his king can get a chance to kill him, but Martyn doesn’t touch Scott. Instead he yells after him these half baked apologies and explanations, trying to tell him “I didn’t want Jimmy to die!” That is actually insane.

As Martyn is chasing that boy he connected with at the start, the one he entered the nether with; they went through this worlds actual hell together. Now Martyn is tasked to take after Scott to not let him escape, someone he used to be close to, he chases with death in mind because his king commands it.

And Scott finally stops to face martyn, as the pathetic hand tries to tell him “we didn’t mean to kill your husband” is SO fucked up. Out of everything Martyn said, before having to watch his king murder him, he tells Scott that it was never his intention to harm Jimmy.

Upon Scott’s death, Martyn does not cheer or rejoice, he just lets out this pathetic noise of defeat after Ren murdered Scott for good. Martyn stands there feeling null and empty, while his king goes into hysterics.

Ren also, upon killing Scott, is immediately rushed with guilt and horror at himself. Starts sobbing, “how many more do I have to kill to this violence comes to an end?”

“It’s dripping into my eyes… I can’t see, I’ve been blinded by violence my hand.”

Ren sacrificed himself using Martyns hand, allowed his head to be chopped off so that he could become a red name- but even after all that, he cannot kill without guilt. Other red names like Skizz and Joel get this bloodlust and hunt like a predator. While Ren, the wolf king, kills and then he cries. He sobs and begs for Martyn to hold him. He’s a red name supposed to be thirsting for blood but it isn’t giving him that rush it should. He had Martyn take his head, and all for what? What was this all for?

He’s a red name, and the king of a red kingdom, with a red shield. He brought red winter in his wake, but he stays awake at night shivering in fear about the death of others. In his heart, Ren is too good hearted to kill without remorse. Despite it being his job, and something he sought out to do on purpose; he feels horribly guilty.

The blood dripping into his eyes blinding him is insane symbolism. Being a red name gives him this urge to kill, and it blinds the players. But doesn’t give Ren a rush of ecstasy or excitement, it scares him. Ren feels so blood thirsty that he gets dizzy, and it makes him want to cry. It makes him scared of himself, and he breaks down as yet another person died at his hand.

He begs Martyn to hold him, and all he can think about is before he had to murder another person. He never wanted to become this red king, never wanted his crown to be stained in blood. He wanted to hold Martyns hand, and enchant with him. That’s all he wanted, was a life of peace with his dear friend. Martyn was his friend, not his hand.

Ren asked for this, he prayed for red winter, but now that it arrived, he is so so cold. Ren just wanted to feel the warmth of spring.

Neither of them wanted to kill Scott. Neither of them felt satisfied watching Scott lose his final life, but they murdered him together anyway. They killed him, and then they cried about it. They hold each other in the dead of winter.

“How many more people do we have to kill before all this violence comes to an end?”

The red king just wishes red winter would finally end. He’s tired of his bloody crown weighing down his head, his weak scarred neck struggles to hold. Martyn holds his king in attempt to comfort him, but all he thinks about is how eventually, they will have to die too. Maybe if they’re lucky, they’ll die together.
