SUP LADS NEW SKELETON RELATED LORE DROPPED
Which means it's time for another round of crack theories/observations with Lonk!
So in Shubble's latest video we are shown that when Sausage was sleepwalking he was wearing a skull on his head. Later in the same video when she goes to the nether she finds her magic circle is broken and along with the weird spikes that appeared a bunch of wither skeletons seem to have be summoned.
Now the obvious connection is that the skull that sleepwalking Sausage is wearing may be connected to either the skull from Scott's lore, Skeletron from Joey's lore or perhaps both. In the past I also made a joke that the crown worn by the tyrant king shown in Sausage's flashbacks do kinda resemble bones/ribs. There is clearly a skeletal motif that is seen with characters or events that have evil, possessed, corrupt or otherwise negative connotations. I wonder if all this skull imagery and skeletal objects are pointing to this all coming from the same source. Possibly a villain like Skeletron or more likely something much bigger.
Another fun but most likely coincidental connection is the use of wither skeletons throughout both Joey and Shelby's lore. When pirate Joe storms one of Skeletron's outposts in his videos the main ‘boss’ of that area and most likely the most high ranking of the skeletal pirates in that outpost is, you guessed it, a wither skeleton! And what comes out of Shelby’s magic circle? Wither skeletons. Not only is this more skeletal imagery related to villains/dark magic but it also makes it seem even more likely that these events are at least somewhat connected.
Tumblr media
Now let’s break away from the skeleton centric theories to talk about something else. Nekomancy and the large focus on undead. Recently a lot of the empires have been ‘curing’ their villagers. You know, standard minecraft stuff. Except not only have they all seemed to do it around the same time but it is what also inspired Shelby to try ‘cure’ sausage and accidentally turn him into a zombie. We also see Lizzie performing ‘nekomancy’ which causes skulk to spread in her attic, most likely due to the death themed spells she used. Skulk does multiply when mobs die after all.
Now Sausage is eventually cured from the whole zombie thing by finding a Totem of Revival after receiving a little help from Saint Pearl. Saint Pearl herself is often depicted as a god of life/light, being surrounded by sunflowers and using very light colours. Her actions, or those of her champions such as Angel Sausage in Afterlife SMP, are usually focused around purifying evil, healing and light. In Empires s2 we see her depicted on a mural underneath the statue/catacombs in Pix's ruined city. A lot of people, myself included, have noticed similarities in design to the winged statue and Saint Pearl (especially @sabiralangevan on twitter's interpretation of her).
However, the winged statue only has one gold wing. The other is black. So here’s where my crack theory comes in. We know that the statue is probably referencing Saint Pearl as there’s literally a mural/memorial underneath it. But what if that isn’t the only thing it’s referencing? What if there’s another god/deity that we haven’t seen that is the opposite to Pearl. A god of darkness and death that mirrors Saint Pearl's light and warmth. We’ve seen a similar dynamics between Aeor and Exor, the two stag gods of Rivendell and later their champions. With so many references to dark magic and undead within this season (such as the Evermoore, skulk, undead and skeletons) I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a being tied to all of it. The statue in the ruined city doesn’t just reference Pearl but also her counterpart. Gods of both life and death mirrored in one statue.
I could go even further and point out the whole Wisp thing going on with Gem's lore being suspicious and how the entirety of Glimmer Grove is split, with one half withering in darkness and spawning undead monsters. Hell we know for a fact that people get lost and/or cursed if they wander into the Mangrove swamp. Literally one of my earliest theories for this season was that the skulk was spreading/a corrupting force like the nether corruption from season 1. All of this stinks of dark magic.
Anyways, thank you for coming to my dumbass ted talk. What do y’all think about my crack theories? If you have anything to add or theories of your own you want to share please feel free to add to this post! :D

hopefully this is apt— watching pearl on empires s2 (as someone who’s not familiar with s1 lore), it’s so sweet seeing how c!pearl is surrounding herself with ppl she cares/has cared for across the smp multiverse, ie. basing with scott (i know there’s empires s1 lore i’m missing that’s important but i’m referring to life series here) and getting his fedora, whatever’s going on with sausage and all the stuff he’s passing on, also being part of battle buddies (is there a dynamic i’m missing?) and getting a battle axe, still wanting to help hermitopia just not by staying there full time (at least for now)
it feels like the adage saying you are a collage of people you love, and c!pearl has a growing collection of things from people she’s cared about/spent time with/had fun with
it also feels like showing up to a bbeg fight decked out with the top stat gear that doesn’t match

Have you been looking for a transcript of the beginning of Pixlriff’s episode “A New Beginning!”? Do you need an easy to access way to get all of that lore into one easy to read package?
Do you, like myself, have troubles with understanding audio without subtitles, weather thats because of an audio processing disorder or being a member of the Hard Of Hearing community?
Than look no further than this post! I have spent time and care to transcribe the beginning of the episode to the best of my ability. Under the cut the transcription awaits, and it goes from the beginning of the video to 1:24
Pixlriffs, uses a narrators voice that sounds like a parent telling a story to their children through the whole introduction. The background to the exposition is the drawn map of the SMP, and throughout the introduction more lines and colours are added to the map.
In a long lost age before records truly began, our world was built by titans. 
Beings of impossible size whose bodies fell to earth and became the biomes we know. Their bones became the rocks, shaped into vast caverns by the arches their ribs. Their blood ran downward into the darkest depths of the world, imbuing it with untold riches, magic and danger. And from their fallen forms, civilisation flourished. 
What little we can piece together of the past tells a story of its own. 
The titans were forgotten as their successors began to shape the lands to their own desires. Great cities were founded, rose and warred with one another, and fell.
Alas, history is told by the victors and none of them emerged victorious. Just like the titans before them, they vanished.
Soon enough, new nations would rise to take their place. And perhaps it is our destiny too, to one day vanish. But until then, there are still secrets of the past yet to be uncovered, and it is here that our tale truly begins.
Around a campfire, as these stories often start, and while many of these stalwart leaders are looking towards the future, one man has set his eye firmly on the past.

I think my favorite part of Session 7 was when Martyn caught Joel taking stuff from his chests and the exchange was something like
"I thought it was Jimmy's!" "It was. It was ours."
Because Martyn's trying so hard to do serious angsty lore bits and the best response Joel can come up with is basically just "That's rough buddy"

"Many of them had been armor stands before their king imbued them with life, and some found this a hard habit to shake."
I absolutely loved Pix's Empires s2 finale, he tied together so many season 1 empires with season 2's empires. My favorite being the fact that Tumbletown is made up of armor stands that were imbued with life by S1 Joel :)

Most recent false lore is really funny when you consider that the rift is still just Grian’s basement
