#im a 3l girlie what can i say

May I ask for lore from your superhero au?

Love your art style btw! *^-^*

AHH THANK YOU SO MUCH !! This means so much to me truly ahhhh 💕

A lot of lore for the au is still in bits and pieces beacuse uni decided to kinda hit me like a truck this semester :’) im sorry about that

With my hotguy au the only rule I set for myself is that I’m fully following the guidelines for characters set by Scar on that one stream he did. So each role is (kinda) exactly what he wanted it to be (even if it meant making jellie an actual mayor and trying to make that work) and Im just trying my best to actually pull it together into one big au that is 90% just very silly and 10% angst backstories. I will be adding some characters which weren’t in the list tho! Like Scott (who for now is a starlord alien pirate who travels with Cleo on her space piracy adventures) and Joel (idk what he will do yet but hes gonna be there)

As for specific lore that hasn’t been out in the world yet, i can give you some of grians backstory I came up with help from the one, the only @1captainjordan4 my beloved 💕

(As I was writing this i kinda realised that this got really long im sorry, i will put it under keep reading ;-; also im not the best at writing stuff out so excuse that)

In this au Grian and Pearl are siblings who have been orphaned and have been living as street rats all their childhood. They have become accustomed to stealing and fighting (and got kinda good at it) from a very early age and steadily have been falling more and more into criminal circles.

During that time Grian got approached by the Watchers organisation who promised to provide for both him and Pearl in exchange of him spying on their behalf, being a messenger etc. Desperate, he accepts their offer but hides it from Pearl and just says he got a legit job or smth, knowing she would not approve of it as it is too dangerous and would try to discourage him and look for another way.

The missions grew more and more dangerous and with each one Grian distanced himself from Pearl further and further. (Which in turn pushed her to seek the truth and become an investigative journalist)

As time goes on Grian gets a job as a scientist and actually tries to live a normal life as a “retired villain” but still is unable to fully escape the Watchers who force him to take jobs every so often. This pattern continues until he gets indebted to Scar who saves him and in true Grian fashion just Has To stick around and help him until the debt is repaid and thus becoming cuteguy!

More or less

#berry not talking to the void for once #hotguy the siege #superhero au #a LOT of lore is spread around the introduction posts so I wanted to give you something new #even though I decided to include the watchers not all of evo smp players will be associated with them in this au #mostly bc it messes a bit with the lore i have planned for everyone #this is especially abt jimmy bc i have a set role for him in my mind and trying to shove watchers into it now would kinda mess it up 😭 #also i like having plain civilians in the au #this all might change later #but for now the only ppl associated with the watchers in the au will be grian and kinda pearl #if u see any similarities to dc then you are right #both me and jordan went a bit crazy with dc and this backstory in the dms #also yes the way scar and grian became pertners is ripped from 3l #im a 3l girlie what can i say #also so sorry if u wanted just a quick lil answer and i hit you with a novel out of nowhere #jordan if ur reading this im adding joel into the au for u and u only <3

I find it interesting that 9 times out of 10 life series grian is the antagonist but you just. wont see it from his POV because he treats the series like a let’s play and glosses over the everything else.

or maybe im wrong

it’s because he sucks ❤️

i rewrote my answer to this like three times because man. it’s such an interesting thing to get into and there are worms in my brain. this is why i absolutely love characterisation of grian in the life series that has him be kind of… detached, because as more of a let’s player than a roleplayer that means in canon he really is detached until he Really Isn’t. he cares a lot about causing chaos and murder, cares roughly the same amount about his One Guy (or sometimes two people!) of the season and boy does he get really mad when they betray him and finally he gets sad and almost.. lost? when they die, or rather when he inevitably kills them. other than this he can be a lot more divorced from the interpersonal drama of the server he just doesn’t really give a fuck. last life grian in particular feels very cold and callous and it makes me want to eat my own fist! and thus it’s hard to see him as an antagonistic role from his own videos because even though cc!grian doesn’t deliberately edit things out as much as, say, scar does, he just Kind of doesn’t care about anything else and it definitely rubs off on the viewer. him killing three people in cold blood is just funny to him because it means so little to him compared to, say, the people that actually died or the people that are a bit more into “playing the game”. and the video doesn’t really leave much room for you as the audience to think of it as anything except funny. This ramble really all comes back to last life because like yes im a 3L girlie but my true ‘expertise’ is in LL characterisation and god i love how dark and hopeless that series feels and this sort of vibe for grian works so well there. i have so many diseases about ll!grian blorbo from my miniseries This no longer has anything to do with what you originally said my point is i agree and im very not normal about what it means in universe

#ask #Im not entirely sure that this makes sense i am just rambling completely incoherently i think #my point is. If you characterise him like this especially in LL you understand me #mae analyses
