Grian: What kinds of sounds annoy you?
Mumbo: Are we talking real sounds or imaginary ones?
Grian, now interested: Lets say imaginary.
Mumbo: Spiders wearing flip flops.

I've never explained my Red Core concept to literally anyone except my partner Peggy but basically I came up with it while Last Life was still ongoing, prior to anyone knowing about Martyn's whole Watcher lore, as like a theory/headcanon as to what the life series really was. Ironically the Watchers were still involved.
The idea is that the red lives are the buried, rawest parts of a person. It's what they are when their outer layers are worn down to the core, a candle shaved down just to the wick. Desperate, lonely, and violent.
The concept continued saying Grian, upon becoming a Watcher, (specifically, the RED Watcher) came in tune with every part of himself - including his Red Core. And that Grian believes he's better off for it! That this is the reason he always seems to be "a red life with a green name" - he, unlike the rest, is always embracing his Red Core.
Grian specifically made the games because he wants his friends to be able to embrace their Red Cores too. Worlds like Hermitcraft with infinite respawns don't allow that desperate, lonely, violent part out - they bury it under the security of conditional immortality.
From Grian's perspective, red lives are themselves. They’re nothing but themselves, the rawest form. Green lives? Yellow lives? They have layers. They could be hiding something. Why would you trust them? You always know what red lives are after, what their motivations are. Best to only trust red lives. Best to make as many red lives as possible.
[ID in alt.]
The question of course is, is the Red Core what is burdening to a player, or are the external layers what is burdening them? Which part is truly the person themselves - the layers or the core? (Of course the true answer is both but in this interpretation, that's a delicate balance even Grian hasn't figured out.)
In the original Red Core AU, Grian isn't exactly a good guy, but he's not trying to be a bad guy either.
Anyway, I've used the concept of Red Cores - especially in scenarios where the Red Cores for one way or another get separated or torn out of the rest of them - for COUNTLESS AUs in the years since so I figured if I'm gonna start posting my AUs here I might as well provide some context for this.
