Humming bird... humming bird.... HOMING BIRD!!
Tumblr media
Full credits to anon for the idea!
So cause Jimmy is a canary bird, being cursed to always die first or ``canary curse``, what if.. impulses curse is called something like ``the homing hex?? Pigeon jinx? Homing curse?? Homing hex sounds way better imo
The two birds, locked In a cage, one isn't aware that they're in a cage.. well, he isn't even aware that he is a bird.
Watchers unite, tonight/day we adopt our new pet! The homing bird, the homing hex

The Life Series, Curses, and One ImpulseSV
Canary curse this, Beansanity curse that. Let me tell you about a much more subtle and less noticed curse haunting the Life series, and also im gonna tell you because I'm not coping with Double Life ending, and I want to make others suffer the same realizations I had.
Let's talk about the Bridle Curse. Let's talk about Impulse.
(Btw if you wanna know why I chose the name Bridle Curse then just scroll to the bottom there's an explanation. But you could also read the post and try to figure it out yourself ;) )
Impulse is, for the most part, a pretty all bark no bite guy. I'm pretty sure he ranks as one of the lowest in terms of kills. 3 kills in 3rd Life, no kills in Last Life (unless you count that time Scar died to the lava trap outside of the Southlands and the assist on the Bdubs Wither kill, then he'd have 1 and a half), and no kills in Double Life. 
(Btw this is more reason for him to GO OFF HIS ROCKER ALREADY COME ON IMPULSE YOU HAVE AT THE MAX 4 AND A HALF KILLS OVER 3 SEASONS. GO CRAZY. MURDER.) 
All in all, Impulse is a chill man, here to fuck around and find out.
But the thing that's fun with him is that in every single Life season so far, he's always had a sort of "purpose" or "goal". Something that defines his entire season, something everyone remembers. 
In 3rd Life, his purpose was to be a mole/spy to gather information for his allies, the Day One Crew. In Last Life, his purpose was to help Grian summon the Wither, going so far as to straight up head to the Nether and get a new skull after he failed at getting the already existing third one. And in Double Life, he was a homewrecker with Bdubs. All of these things are what he is remembered most by, they were his purpose in a way. Of course, almost every single member of any Life season usually has their POV defined by a certain role or goal. But it's here where Impulse diverts from the average.
He always loses his red life soon after his one defining thing can't continue anymore.
Think about it. In 3rd life, he was the mole, the traitor inside Dogwarts. When did he die? After Dogwarts was brought to ruin and (almost) every Red Army soldier lay slain. You can't continue being an inside man when there are no more major enemies to infiltrate. And even then, he had already shown his cards. He was never gonna be able to keep his schtick going, no one trusted him. His purpose was fulfilled, he had served his role. Bdubs betrayed and shot him not long after.
In Last Life, he was part of the Southlands, but his big season-defining act was the Wither. Gathering the skulls, passing them around, and finally helping Grian summon it. When did he die? Right after the Wither was sent back to where it once came. His entire role surrounded the Wither. With it gone, and no chance in hell to summon another one, he had no more use. He got shot by Scott seconds after.
In Double Life, we got him and Bdubs being homewreckers. Spreading gossip, trying to lie, (despite Impulse being just, a horrible liar, especially when put on the spot), and break up other pairs. When did he die? Right after the last attempt of the series to separate a pair. They've escaped, and they're digging a staircase out. And one last time, they try to throw suspicion on someone, by throwing it on Scott against Pearl. It fails, obviously. The Divorce Quartet were too close, ironically, and they're the only ones left. The possibility of Impulse persisting in his purpose was nonexistent. Not long after making it to the surface, they're found by Pearl and slaughtered, with Bdubs accidentally delivering the final blow onto Impulse.
Every time Impulse's purpose is completed or irrelevant (or both), he falls.
BUT WAIT, IT GETS WORSE! THERE'S MORE.
If you pay close attention to the little list I just made, you may notice another pattern. Impulse is not only killed when his role can no longer be played but he's killed by the purpose itself OR by the person who GAVE him that goal.
Who gave him the mole role in 3rd life? Team Crastle. Who killed him in the end? Bdubs, the last surviving member of Team Crastle. What caused his death in Last Life? Two arrows from Scott, who wouldn't be there if not for the Wither, and would not have taken those shots without it. Who gave him the homewrecker role in Double Life? Bdubs. Who killed him in the end? Bdubs.
(Speaking about Impulse's LL death...I mean, come on. What more evidence is there for the universe to want you dead than being killed by someone who broke the rules to do it. Scott wasn't red, and Impulse didn't attack him directly. Scott shouldn't have shot Impulse, logically. I'm just saying, sounds like divine intervention to get rid of Impulse after his purpose was complete. No, I'm not a conspiracy theorist stop looking at my board of red string like that-.)
Impulse is a tool. He's a tool that performs one single thing and is then discarded. He does what he does, and when he has run out of benefit, in the eyes of the universe (and in the eyes of his allies, consciously or unconsciously), he's thrown away. Broken. Never given a proper chance to fight back. Ambushed, caught off guard, and denied a choice. Whether that is to be a man on the inside, to summon an eldritch abomination, or to sow seeds of distrust, it all ends the same. When he can no longer do it, the curtains fall. He's more useful dead than alive.
That's his curse. Cursed to only do one noteworthy thing, and die shortly after, by the very hands that used to wield him.
It's ironic how he didn't pick up horse riding until Double Life. You'd think a one-trick pony would gravitate towards them.
(I called it The Bridle Curse cuz a bridle is the face thing you put on a horse. It's a tool used to steer horses. I couldn't decide if I wanted to name the curse after the tool concept or the one-trick pony concept so I just combined them. And I mean, Bridles are very specific to horses and has like, one purpose...I'M TRYING HERE OKAY COMING UP WITH NAMES IS HARD. Feel free to suggest like, another name if you want.)

A small series based on the winged members of the life series and the headcanon that their wings were replaced with tattoos!
Version without the glowing tattoos and wings:

Grian: I’m gonna need a human skull but you can’t ask why.
Impulse: Only if you also don’t ask why.
Impulse: *pulls four pristine human skulls out of his bag*
Grian: …
Grian, grabbing a skull: This one will do.

Obsessed with the idea of wither skulls turning your hands black when you touch them. Staining your fingers with coal you can’t scrub out. Perhaps a reminder, of the blood that will stain your hands when you combine three of those skulls. Perhaps the blood of the Withers skeletons you killed to get it. Staining your hands dark, like ink. A testament- you were never meant to hold a wither skull, it has never belonged in this dimension, you brought it here, and you will force it back to some twisted form of life soon, until slick red blood is the only thing that stains your hands. For now, it will stain, your hands, your clothes, your portals, everything you touch.  Blood would be easier, unpleasant, but comforting in it’s expectedness. When you slit a throat, plunge a knife, you expect the red. A painful, honest truth, of a life taken. But the nether, for all its hellish red, stains black.

I'm so alone, when you hold me know there's no-one home
But I always keep a key beneath my shadows for emergency and
Never letting no people before I look through the peephole
See no evil, speak no evil, speak to me, no I don't hear you
