#is there a duo name for ren and BigB?

[bucket-of-amethyst]

uogh I just think more of the life series players should learn from Scott Smajor about dramatic ending a series, specially how he did in 3rd life

Imagine how buck wild it would be if u just watching Bdubs video and after Pearl killed him the screen faded to black.. just to came back to show you the mid century modern house, the place is intact, the interior perfectly decorated, the horses finally have a proper place to stay, there's a clock framed on the wall, it shows you the pool area, Bdubs is there, there's steak cooking in the barbecue-campfire. Impulse arrives in the scene saying "look at all those new records I got!" and Bdubs cheers and says now we can get the party started because look! The pool finally turned green... Their home is finally complete.

Imagine how insane it would be if after the screen faded to black, you would see Box in the same place it has always been. It's face restored. But it's not angry anymore. It has now a wonky second arm, and you can see new mismatched legs draped over the hills, clearly built by two different people. Ren asks BigB what's next? "...What about sunglasses?" So they give Box sunglasses so they're all matching. It's silly, and it goes a bit against them waiting their base to be threatening, but where are they now there's no need to be a threat... It's just home.

Imagine how surreal it would be if after you were told to go, that it's over, go home... "I'll go if you come with me." It doesn't even look like the ranch has seen a single flame, there's the re-addition of a crooked tower "It still looks like a foot." Tango says on top of his horse. Jimmy, riding his own steed, insists that he likes it! "It's a wonderful home!" He says, you can hear goats bleating, chickens clucking, cows mooing. Tango agrees.

"Home."

#m a n .... #i am having thoughts... #imagine if these people knew how to fanservice we wouldn't survive #not me typing this and realizing it could be a fic #i wanted to think one for boat boys too but my head too full rn #so if anyone would like to add for the others PLEASE would love to see that sjdjfkf #double life #mcyt #bucket of ramble #trafficblr #team rancher #clock duo #is there a duo name for ren and BigB?

[to-make-yourself-known]

they went for the drama but all i see is this

#double life smp #my art #gtws #grian #bigb #rendog #trafficshipping #i am aware the chances of it going this well when scar find out are. none lmao #but i'm poly LET ME DREAM #ren is still unsure abt this whole situation #and grian's having the time of his life #dlsmp #trafficblr #mcyt #idk what ships to tag this with tbh #desert duo #uh #bigdog #IDK ALL THESE SHIP NAMES whatever

[dearfizz]

I'm watching Double Life bigb's perspective, and episode 3 was... such a doozy. Like honestly, I was so flabbergasted. I feel like I have to rewatch it again sometime later. Cause I didn't really understand bigb's motives?????

Like for the desert duo. It's pretty clear. Grian cheated on Scar. Scar found out when he was on a horse walking by outside of Homewreckers house. Grian was intentionally keeping his relationship with BigB a secret.

But BigB cheated on Ren, too?? BigB did eventually tell Ren that he met up with his secret admirer. BigB DID went around Ren's back to meet Grian since he didn't tell Ren beforehand. When Ren temporarily left the game at the relationship ranch, BigB was like, "omg I feel so free now." HUH?????

Then they made up in ep4???? Very easily at that?????????? It feels like they didn't really acknowledge what happened in the relationship ranch. But now Ren knows that BigB is using his secret admirer as a resource. Grian gave a lot of valuable gifts to BigB and not the other way around. Whether or not BigB has feelings for Grian or not is another talking point (I think he does? based on pure vibes only but ANYWAYS).

I just. I don't know. I don't know anymore. I'm going to dissect the box boys relationship when I finally finish submitting this godforsaken school assignment.

Also, on a side note, the rp felt so serious for Ren and BigB when they were at the relationship ranch. I haven't watched Ren's perspective, but Bigb's put so much dramatic music into it. It feels like I was listening to an actual couple therapy. They were REALLY playing into their character as a couple 😭

Edit: misspelt words + my opinion if BigB had feelings for Grian or not.

#life series #double life #honestly if you have an opinion about Ren's and Bigb's relationship pls share with me #bigbst4tz2 #renthedog #trafficblr #fizz shit post #box boys #what is their duo name help

[goldenflurry]

“You left me dude!” Ren yelled, his heart broken, his thoughts racing, his life, red.

“I’m sorry Ren, I really am! I’ve said it over and over again, to the point that it doesn’t even seem like words anymore!” Bigb shot back, his newly acquired ears flattened on his head, his arms held out to express his distress better.

“You left for a secret admirer! You wouldn’t tell me who it was and yet you met with them? How can I trust you if you wont even tell me who it is? As well if you know who they are why did you allow them to take you away from me?” Ren questioned more huffing, he was angry, sad, and felt betrayed by the one person he thought he could trust for the rest of his life.

Bigb didn’t respond, guilt painted on his face, his arms wrapped around his torso in a self hug, his ears flat against his head, tail tucked closely behind him. Box had never felt so foreign to him than in this moment. Bigb had glued his eyes to the ground, the mere thought of seeing how upset Ren is, was more than enough to make him feel like it was the wrong choice to have met up with Grian. He loved Ren, of course he did, he would do so much to help, he didn’t want to lie which is why he told Ren about the admirer in the first place. It was supposed to be a sign of just how much he cared. To proove he wouldn’t lie, sure he might have hid the evidence in the moment but, that was for Grian’s safety. They’re both red lives and Ren has always made it to the finals, he knows how powerful Ren can be. But those are all just reasons he couldn’t form any words, couldn’t form his racing guilt filled thoughts into any type of sentence. Bigb had no idea what to say to Ren. Because Ren was right, he did leave his side to meet up with the admirer and, he won’t even explain who that admirer is, he formed a secret soulmate, which technically was leaving Ren behind.

“So, that’s how it’s going to be then?” Ren spoke, breaking the silence that was hanging over the two. “You’re going to go off with your admirer?” He questioned, the sound of sadness had filled Ren’s words much like a glass about to spill over.

“I’m sorry, Ren…” Bigb spoke softly, just above a whisper, he couldn’t say anything else. What would he say? That Ren was right? That he was happy to be away from Box and hanging around Grian instead?

“I’m sorry too, Bigb. I’m sorry that I wasn’t enough for you.” Ren stated darkly, his sadness had turned into a new brewing anger, as he grabbed his things and walked out the doors. Ren left Box, unsure if he was ever going back.

Bigb watched as Ren left, he wanted to say something, anything, but he had no words. All he had were flash backs to the last time he caused someone to leave. Someone he had cared for and was ready to protect with his life, and yet, he did something to cause them to leave. Bigb took off the sunglasses that he got to match Ren’s, looking at them for a moment, to only drop them to the ground. Heading out the door, Bigb had decided he needed to talk with someone, and the only person he could think of was Grian, so to Grian he went.

[jjledragon]

Life Series Alliances/Teams I want to see in future seasons

Jimmy and Cleo aka the Teachers.

I think it'd be fun to see them bond over their previous jobs as teachers, and Jimmy could use the protection Cleo offers by being aggressive and intimidating.

Scott and Joel

It'll continue Scott's trend of never teaming up with the same people twice, and Joel's aggression paired with Scott's chillness would be a fun dynamic.

Cleo and/or Pearl and/or Gem and/or Lizzie

All girls alliance YES PLEASE

BigB and Jimmy aka the Evo SMP members that still haven't had a win (at the time I'm posting this)

Mumbo and Skizz

Skizz's extrovertedness paired with Mumbo's introvertedness would be hilarious. The idea of Skizz giving an affirmation like he did in Limited Life and Mumbo just crumbles to the ground would be iconic.

Gem and Etho aka the Canadians

Gem could be the PvPer and builder and Etho could be the redstoner and her hypeman.

Jimmy and Scar

I don't care if Scott forbids it it would be a pairing full of shenanigans. And since they definitely wouldn't make it to the end, they could focus on making some chaos

Grian and BigB

I personally don't count the Secret Soulmates from Double Life as an alliance bc of how badly it failed, so I'd like to give them a doover where they're teamed up from the get go

BDubs and Jimmy

They could bond over being made fun of and being easily reactive. They would make each other worse off because of it, but I would be an amazing duo.

Pearl and Ren

Ren's theatricality and Pearl's deranged nature would be one hell of a plot device.

Lizzie and Joel

Their undying bond and their tendency to make chaos would be on hell of a watch.

Joel and Cleo

They would singlehandedly destroy the server the second they're both on red

Scar, Scott, and Skizzleman

All their names start with a "Sc" sound, which Skizz would have a ball with.

BigB and Scar

The amount of swindling/gaslighting they would do would cause permanent psychological damage to everyone else

Impulse and Cleo

These two would rather die than let go of a grudge they're holding. BDubs and BigB better watch tf out

masked chimes au master post

(by boatem, convex-solos and me)

[convex centric superhero au where everyone other than joe hills suffers, is evil or both]

[disclaimer: this au is divided into 3 acts, as far as act 1 is kept light-hearted, act 2 and 3 bring up dark topics (manipulation, strong violence, death unhealthy relationships, etc.) so if it's not your jam, proceed with caution! or don't proceed at all]

[it also has elements of shipping (cubscar, bigren, biggri, solidaritimes) so, keep that in mind]

[also grian uses she/her. cause why the hell not]

designs (so far):

• jingler & (act 1) jangler

• stress, (act 1) scar, joe

• (act 2) jangler , cub, grian

• bigb, ren, doc

• cleo

• vault busters (iskall & mumbo)

• false, jimmy, pearl

• mother spore

• jingler & jangler (act 3)

• gem / dawnbreaker

• etho

the world is kept in modern times ableit not realistic, some people have hybrid body parts however it doesn't majorly affect their life, they're mostly just design choices

character roles (act 1):

- jingler: cub's persona, an undefeated supervillain, terrorizing the city for fun

- cub: scar's roommate, studied medicine but works retail, tired

- scar: cub's roommate, works at anything as anyone (barbie LOL) hence has money to support both him and cub, childhood best friend of mumbo and grian, extremely full of himself

- grian: a detective working on the case of the jingler, childhood best friend of mumbo and scar, crushes on bigb

- jangler: scar's hero persona, created for the sole purpose of fighting against the jingler, offers his help to grian (who in desperation, accepts)

- ren: in a day to day life he's the owner of the shop cub works at but has knowledge in spy gadgets, gets called for special jobs - currently working in espionage helping grain, has an unofficial thing going on with bigb

- doc: tech guy, met ren when he was tasked to create his prosthetic after an accident in the past, currently working in general tech helping grian, (later creates weapons for jangler to use)

- pearl: grian's boss, should've fired her on probably 5 different occasions

- iskall: villain (retired supervillain), currently focusing on robbery rather than causing chaos and violence

- mumbo: villain, iskall's sidekick, childhood best friend of scar and grian, was NOT made for the role of a villain but is scraping for money (rip), has no interest in harming anyone, he's just in for the cash

(they don't really go by any specific names and are rather seen as a complete duo of vault busters)

- stress: retired supervillain (who worked alongside iskall), currently living a peaceful life as an owner of a flower shop

- bigb: owner of a bakery, has an unofficial thing going on with ren, like the only genuine fan of the jangler

- false&jimmy: sheriffs (as in, police level) assigned the case of vault busters

(jimmy and lizzie are blood related and grian is their adopted sibling)

important events (act 1):

- scar and cub didn't know each other before living together. cub met scar one evening when the latter was going home after one of his many jobs, they briefly talked. scar spiked cub's interest as despite clear signs of a crime committed on his clothes were visible, scar didn't mention them at all. he later found out that scar was looking for a flatmate and offered himself.

- grian is overworked, not even close to revealing the identity nor capturing the jingler, without thinking too much about it she rambles about the case to scar whenever they meet for a friendly chat. that's when scar gets the idea to become the jangler ("someone would have to be insane enough to face jingler in combat") but not really because he cares about the greater good of the city - he sees it as an easy opportunity to get fame. [🟣][🟠]

- jangler would've easily lost to the jingler if it wasn't for the fact cub recognizes his roommate (it's painfully obvious really, he doesn't understand how no one else sees it, cartoon logic) and after some dodging he flees the battlefield leaving scar behind. for the first time, someone has survived a duel with the jingler.

- even though he never actually comes close to harming or even scathing the jingler, grian's new companion sparks fresh hope into her and the future of the case. her and her team of doc and ren start working on more complicated tech and weapons. (the success also makes grian not even consider scar to be the new hero. she greatly undermines his abilities).

- [ending of act 1]

jangler is awaiting the arrival of the jingler when the vault busters stumble upon him. past urges awaken in iskall as he senses a perfect opportunity to fight the only undefeated enemy of the jingler. long story short, they fight, mumbo messes up scar's face on accident (which leaves the left side of his face covered in burn scars), cub arrives and saves scar. [here's a fic of the scene written by our friend!]

character roles (act 2):

[if someone isn't mentioned, their role stays the same][the vibe turns a whole 180° from now on]

- cub: scar's boyfriend with no genuine feelings of love towards him, treats scar as his science project

- scar: cub's partner, borderline obsessed with him, craves all his attention

- jangler: now a supervillain working alongside cub, loves playing with fire

- ren: fucking dead (the jingler kills him 🙏)

- grian: a detective throughout the first half of the act. after jangler leaves and ren dies, the case is in shambles; gets demoted to vault busters' case and false with jimmy take her place

- mother spore: grian's vigilante persona, created after her demotion and finding out the identities of jingler and jangler. decides to take matters in her own hands and forms the resistance

- joe: silly character with massive plot armor [best explained here], film uni student who wants to make a movie about jingler and jangler for their thesis, best friend of cleo

- cleo: film directing student at the same uni as joe, accompanies him in his observations and recordings, admires jingler's ability to unnoticeably lead a performance, best friend of joe

- stress: accidentally gets roped into grian's resistance, reveals her knowledge of heroes and villains

- mumbo: the wettest rag of a character, gets his leg chopped off by the jangler (😢), retires as a villain after that

- iskall: after mumbo gets injured he blames himself for it (it's the second time his companion suffers meanwhile he leaves unscathed) - he turns himself in

- jimmy: now working on the main case, convinced there's a thing between him and scar - scar however uses jimmy's infatuation to gather information that might help him and cub [🟠]

- bigb: ren's death takes a huge toll on him, grian gets closer to him

important events (act 2)

- after the fight with vault busters, cub saves scar and takes him to his hiding spot. he reveals his identity and offers scar to join him instead. cub tells scar how actually weak he is and that people don't consider him great. he also offers that beside him, he will get a taste of real fame.

- scar and cub burn the old outfit of the jangler together. it awakens scar's love for fire meanwhile cub showcases and offers the new suit - revealing his plan has been in the making for a while. [🔵]

"Scar treats being the Jangler as a performance. He doesn’t really treat all the atrocities he commits with the seriousness they should have."

- in the meantime while scar heals, jingler keeps on the down low but isn't restless. during one of his shifts cub messes up and while chatting with ren, mentions information about the latest doings of the jingler only classified people would have access to. he's forced to and murders ren.

- grian is the person to break the news to bigb. they become closer.

- scar makes sure to make his return and reveal a big thing. the jingler calls grian and doc to announce he's holding the jangler hostage. upon arrival, they reveal there's no hostage. scar only craved an audience. after this scene, grian loses the case.

- the jangler takes mumbo's leg just basically as a revenge. lol. he didn't want to kill him but wanted to make him never forget.

- joe becomes one of the victims of jingler and jangler. or better said, was supposed to. the guy doesn't seem to be able to die and after a while the duo becomes so fascinated by him they just let him live. he offers to make a film about them, thinking of them more of as actors than threat. cub out of curiosity and sheer ridiculousness agrees and scar considers what he's doing to be a performance anyways. (joe never finds out their identities though)

- scar and grian end up in an argument over jimmy and cub which results in scar revealing to be the jangler. he promises grian that he will kill her. you can read a fic of this scene here!

- after finding out about mumbo's injury iskall feels incredibly guilty and turns himself in. he's judged only for his present crimes and gets a community work sentence (grian figures out mumbo must've been the other vb member but stays quiet. how she isn't fired is anyone's guess).

- cub and scar go into hiding and grian decides to take matters into her own hands, directly this time. she forms the resistance and mother spore.

[a great fic of one of the fights between mother spore and the jingler and jangler, by vexcraft our beloved]

- [ending of act II]

once again, a big fight, jingler and jangler are against the resistance (yet again)

this time the resistance comes out as victorious and the fight ends in cub getting gravely injured and scar turning himself in, considering it the better option than letting cub die.

act III (general info)

[this part is still a big work in progress so not many things are settled on]

- the main premise is basically that scar and cub end up in jail (losers). cub loses an eye after the fight with grian (both him and scar losing what matters more to each of them - cub utility and scar, appearance).

- scar doesn't cope well with being away from cub and not knowing his state

- false and jimmy interrogate them

- they manage to escape but as i said, it's only a brief outline, no details on when and how yet

[the post will get progressively updated]

[eats-all-your-shoes]

pearlscott rant because i’m normal about them :3

okay so first i just wanna talk about like. the duo name thing i use for them, because i know eclipseduo is the “official” duo name but like that doesn’t seem right because i don’t see them as completely platonic because they are exes, but they are definitely also not dating/romantic at all but like it’s so not just duo? so i use pearlscott as like just an alternative duo name type thing for them!

OKAY TALKY TIME!! i’ve said this before but the entirety of the divorce quartet is so interesting but i love pearlscott so much it’s just AAAAA!! after scott leaves pearl she might have been slightly okay, just by looking at the way she was joking about it in the first episode, but then martyn leaves her and she’s left completely alone in a new series, and if we add some watcher angst to that it makes it worse for her.

their dynamic is so bad that it’s good, pearl’s angry at scott but will also take any chance she gets to come back and try and be with him (breaking into his house and building on scott’s and cleo’s bridge) she wants him dead but also desperately wants him back, it’s raw and crazy and loud and everyone can tell she’s going insane over it.

scott on the other hand just wants her gone, she doesn’t matter to him anymore, he just wants to live peacefully with cleo and let her leave him alone. he hates her too and it’s very obvious, but he’s less loud about it then pearl. it’s that petty hate that’s not bad enough to warrant that bad of a reaction but just enough to annoy pearl which makes it so much worse

like it’s just so interesting to think about how different each of their reactions are and how that just makes them so much worse when you put it together.

then there’s the fact that they were ally’s, hell friends, in last life but that doesn’t matter anymore, all that they had together was thrown out the window when scott met cleo and they realized pearl and martyn weren’t looking for them.

ALSOALSO!! Pearl was regarded as the “bringer of death” in double life due to a lot of people dying close to her (joel and etho with the fishing rods, bigb and ren with the enderman) and scott has the winners curse (always having an ally of his win the game) and that just seems like something cool to think about but i’m not the best with symbolism so someone else can use that.

another thing, pearl was so close to killing scott in ep3, he stole her music disc and she axe crit him multiple times bringing them below half health and almost killed him by punching him off the bridge aswell, and if it weren’t for someone stopping her i think she would have gone through with it. the blood on her hands and just letting out so much rage by killing him (and herself, but i don’t think she would care all that much).

She didn’t even have the chance to kill him when she won, event the ghosts were chanting for her to do it but she couldn’t because scott killed himself first. but then when she’s on the respawn screen when she wins she says something along the lines of “he sacrificed himself for me. i guess i do forgive him.” and that’s just AAAA. she hates scott, but winning is horrible and she understands why he would not want to do it again, but also he has forced her to take on the burden of winning by killing himself. they are so complicated it’s amazing.

Life SMP Hadestown AU

//Life SMP Hadestown AU//

Master post for something no one may see.

Idk if this is anything but enjoy

I dunno- this and into the woods is my favorite musicals and I’ve had traffic brain rot for AGESSS and I was finally re-listening to Hadestown and this absolute fever dream of an idea dawned on me during hey little song bird

So yeah. Enjoy?

Here’s the original post when I got this idea

And obvious disclaimer this are all the character versions of these people not the actual people thank you very much for you patience.

ANYWAY

//Life series Hadestown AU//

Eurydice- Jimmy Solidarity ✨the canary✨ you see the vision. This (joke?) is what started this whole thing so.

Orpheus- Still deciding between Scott and Tango

Tango pros:

- They are soulmates

- the goat horns are kinda vaguely like music/an instrument 👀

- ranchers duo is SO SWEET always

- their lives are tethered which in a way fits the story of the show and the myth.

- idk i just like this idea

- why are you still here? It’s over. Go home.

- c!jimmy seems to be on better terms with c!tango than c!scott soooo

Scott pros:

- they were husbands, Jimmy died first tragically (very accurate to original myth)

- THE FLOWER MOTIF- specifically a red flower. It’s just so perfect

- they saw each other in the afterlife

- Scott is always attached to flower husbands which seems fitting

- he likes to sing? Empires musical? I don’t know but it seems like it works

-flower husbands and desert duo have connections (you will see why this is important)

So yeah leaning towards tango for the vibes but leaning towards Scott for actual similarities in plot and such.

(If someone wants to say Joel or someone I will happily hear you out lol)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hades and Persephone- c!Grian and c!Scar/desert duo. The characters were once in love and then it grew into a a more bitter relationship. There are lots of potential parallels with Hadestown older lovers and desert duo. Grian and scar also have flower/plant motifs.

Grian as hades- He is a watcher, which seems fitting. Creator of the games seems fitting for god of death and also the industrial foreman Hadestown has. Original winner.

Scar as Persephone- Now that he is a winner, I personally love the idea of him being the earth, which is perfect for the god(dess) of spring. I also think his secret life skins going from green to black is an accidental parallel.

The only real issue with this is I want to incorporate Grian being the sun but that’s contradictory;-;

Hermes- My main idea atm is Martyn. This is mostly because storytelling and lore is very connected to him and his character. Who doesn’t love some eyes and ears AU/lore

I am also considering pearl just because I like that idea, her being the moon and being connected to g and s, etc

And Ren because he is such a storyteller/theater kid

The Fates- I have several ideas for this

-the watchers(and secret keeper.) Obvious reasons

- the other winners

-clethubs because they are a fun/good trio lol

- ren, pearl, Scott (in case I don’t have them as Hermes/orpheus)

- the remaining Evo members: bigb (also he was so creechur in third life ), pearl, and if he’s not Hermes, Martyn (also good since pearl and martyn have won)

__________________________________________

Based on a lot of the plant motifs imagine if instead of a carnation it was a poppy.

I’m very slow with drawing and have never written any kind of fic before but if people like this idea I’d love suggestions for the AU and I’ll definitely make some character designs :)

Character designs/descriptions:

Jimmy coming soon to a theater near you

Other posts for the AU:

Full circle lol

[mochiwrites]

what are your favorite aspects of those ships? and headcanons pls :3

rubs my paws together >:3c I'm so very glad you asked!

starting with gripulse

I really love how like. impulse and grian are both very loyal people. and yk. they've both been betrayed in a life game, so if anyone understands wanting to be loyal but also scared of being betrayed again, it's them. I def think that on the first night the southlands were established, the two of them stayed up talking to each other about being afraid of working in a group, considering their wounds from third life. I'm picturing impulse sitting next to grian and grian like. resting his head against his shoulder and just... talking. eventually they move the discussion away from the life games and toward more mundane stuff. and they fall asleep like that.

biggri

GOD WHERE DO I START WITH THESE TWO... first of all, their evo history???? grian pranking bigb all the time???? man's had a big crush on bigb back in evo and he showed affection by pranking him. like the pesky bird he is. and in my angst filled ways, I like to think that they agreed to talk things out after they beat the ender dragon and then, yknow, grian kinda... disappeared. and bigb was devasted :< buT THEN THERE'S THE LIFE GAMES.... AND DOUBLE LIFE.... AND OUGH..... grian with bigb and the two of them meeting up (desert duo are divorced here and not a couple, so miss me with that "grian cheated on scar" shit, and I think ren and bigb leaned more toward platonic soulmates???? so :>) grian has absolutely stolen bigb's sweaters thank you. bigb comes to hermitcraft and everyone is teasing him and grian thank you.

gleo

GRIAN AND CLEO MY LOVES !!!!! I think they need to team together in a life game thanks. they'd rule the world together. I just think that cleo would sit and giggle at grian as they watch him goof around and pull his pranks and grian gives them little gifts like a feather or a brush for their hair and building materials and !!!!! also cleo's another one who knows about betrayal, who understands what it's like to be stabbed in the back. SO. also. the entire prank war. grian and cleo were kissing on the side ty. he feeds into her chaos <3

griskall

UGH SAHARA BUDDIES. grian watches iskall do redstone under the one (1) precaution that he has no potatoes on him. and grian will tease him with diorite and omg grian flying around in iskall's big cave base!!!!!!!!! also: grian letting iskall preen his wings and iskall letting grian watch him as he messes with his bionic eye. and just. the two of them planning things together, and having fun little talks while building or goofing off. ALSO THE CUDDLES!!!!!! grian wrapping iskall up in his wingsssss

gren

firstly that ship name makes it so hard to find grian and ren stuff on here omg. ANYWAYS, I love the idea of grian and ren always being on opposite sides of some kind of feud. season 6 prank war, 3rd life, king ren arc (even if uh. ren technically did hire grian, but grian still kind of went against him). but also they work really well together too!!!! it's a fun balance of ren getting waaay too into something and grian being the one to reel him back in, or grian coming up with a plan and ren going "yes and" in return. also big werewolf cuddling liddol bird man... ren is affectionate like a puppy and he loves flustering grian <333 AND GRIAN GIVING REN FASHION ADVICE...

Little Soldiers

-song by the Crane Wives

-fanfic by The Crazy Husky

No. 6

(Drums: Impulse)

Apparently, Joel had caught Ren and Martyn lip-locking.

Impulse seemed to be upset that not only Tango and Etho did not acknowledge him, Skizz stayed away from him most of the time. Pearl had also managed to get an actual wolf as a pet (named Tilly) and keeps it in her room. Jimmy (with the broken leg) was finally out of the infirmary and had crutches.

Pearl later broke his arm.

Scott was wandering around the base when he saw BigB and Pearl playing with a frog. They were squealing about how funny and cute it looks, then they began discussing how to breed them to scare Tango. Scott had no idea what they meant until Pearl stabbed one of the baby frogs with a blunt tooth right in front of Tango, and he kept his distance from the two for the rest of the day as they went around scaring people. It wasn’t long before BigB actually murdered the frog in front of Grian and Martyn and scared them really badly. They later revealed it was a toy and the real frog was in an enclosure.

Impulse then had the idea of singing Little Soldiers for the Treebark Duo, as it was Ren’s birthday coming up. Pearl did agree (in the terms of Impulse making another frog dummy for the pair to murder) and had practised the lyrics. Scott sat this one out so the latter only included Pearl, Gem and Impulse.

Scott sat in the audience as Ren and Martyn was pushed on the floor (Ren sat on his cape bedsheet) then watched. This time, everyone gathered to listen. Scott had also hidden all the birthday supplies and was waiting patiently for them to finish then ambush Ren. He’d told almost everyone (with the exception of Martyn) so they all knew what was coming up.

“~~~” She began playing with Impulse on the drums. “On the broken backs of all the words we spared, like little soldiers in the trenches.” Gem started, taking in the fun of music. “It was a march we made towards ruin and despair but we held hands all the while.”

“I swear that I loved you, I swear that I loved you.” Pearl sung. Gem joined in and vocalised, “I swear that I loved you. I swear, I swear~” Scott especially enjoyed it when they play together. With Pearl not constantly trying to kill anyone, and Gem not chasing random people around and trying to break their legs, but then he felt guilt swelling in his belly.

“Beneath the table you would offer up my bones, and all the dogs would lick your fingers.” He thought about Impulse. It wasn’t earlier that Etho had told Scott that he thinks Impulse had left TIES to join them, but Scott replied with he’s just trying to meet more friends. Since then, Impulse and TIES had been in a lot more arguments that usual. “And I dragged you through every room inside our home, but you still held me at night.” Speaking of unwavering loyalty…

“I swear that you loved me, I swear that you loved me,” the song reminded him of back when he was still in the Flower Husbands group with Jimmy, when Martyn and Ren would run around and act like drama queens. Then there would be Scar and Grian, who is definitely worth mentioning. Those two are basically soulmates in every way shape or form. “I swear that you loved me. I swear, I swear,” Gen was going at it at full, with Impulse enjoying his time with the girls. Lizzie and Etho sat together by the back, apparently muttering about Joel or something, because her husband whipped around and dove at her, causing her to yelp.

“We didn't give up, we wouldn't dare surrender. It was an honest loss,” Scott heard Impulse’s voice for the first time. The girls seemed to know like they rehearsed it. “Now the aftermath will ring with songs you've sung, all of our words sent home in boxes.” Grian eyed Martyn as he gripped Ren’s hand tight. “I fought with tooth and nail before the flag had flown, but you were already gone.” Ren cringed at that verse but said nothing.

“I'll swear that I loved you, I'll swear that I loved you, I'll swear that I loved you. I swear, I swear.” Gem sounded like she really and finally enjoyed something for real. Scott’s fingers drifted over to a button hidden from sight. Tango and Mumbo gave him a thumbs up. “I'll swear that I loved you, I'll swear that I loved you. I'll swear that I loved you, I swear, I swear~”

As they came to a close, Mumbo nodded and Scott pressed the button. Immediately birthday decorations popped up from the ceiling and Tango showered Ren with confetti. “Happy Birthday Ren!” Everyone yelled. Impulse, Gem and Pearl abandoned their instruments and went over to congratulate.

Ren seemed shocked. He felt so surprised he fell over on his back. Martyn giggled and stepped back. “Best party ever,” Ren breathed, and Grian giggled. Tango and Mumbo did a victory dance for successfully setting up the deco.

“Dogwarts!” Pearl laughed and waved the red and white flag. Martyn, who seemed confused and shocked at the same time, staggered towards the wall and stayed there, breathing heavily. “Yo what,” he gasped. “You gave me a heart attack.” Scott laughed, patted his back and smiled. “I understand.”

Suddenly Martyn’s whole body jerked and he collapsed on the floor. Scott tried to help him up, but he wouldn’t budge and instead muttered, ”Summer falls, destruction calls. The sun’s gaze, the moon’s raze, star of forgiveness, running sands of vengeance, the Earth and its loneliness. Come together in a single piece, or shatter forever without peace. The eyes watch, may not interfere. Crimes among the stars, the outcast among others. Paid by the unforgiving sea, bought back by the singing moon, or the hourglass continues falling.” Then he fainted.

Scott knew it. The Watchers are actually intervening. And he knew exactly what will happen.

The Status of the Double Life Duos in Limited Life

-Etho and Joel are on their divorce arc; Joel was jealous Etho supposedly replaced him with a cow so he killed the cow, then Etho killed Joel during the Great Green Life Hunt and sounded like a maniac while doing it

-Scott came over to Entertainment Mountain/Insecure Mountain/Secure Mountain/The Rock/The Mountain and chatted with Cleo quite often; he also let Cleo take one of his lives willingly. Mean Gils and the Clockers seem to have had an alliance during the Red Wars, and Scott fought along side Cleo until the very end.

-Grian and Scar were enemies, with Bad Boys having killed members of Team Clocker, and Clockers retaliating by burning the mansion. Then they became cousins. Then they went back to being enemies. (at one point Grian called Scar dad, its all a bit jumbled). Finally, during a supposed truce, Grain quite literally backstabbed Scar and took him out of the series (in Grian's words, it was "the ultimate betrayal")

-Ren isn't around so no BigB-Ren reunion :( At least he got a Pearl

-Speaking of, Pearl and Scott were friendly, with her even helping Scott and Martyn pick out their team name (Scott and Martyn ironically enough are a team this time around), before Pearl stole Mean Gils' enchanter and her and Scott developed hate tension the likes of which hasn't been seen since SmallEtho divorce. They continued to quip at each other here and there, until the final stages of the Red Wars where they were consistent enemies, with the two aiming to take the other out permanently

-Pearl was friendly enough with Martyn, though upon asking if he had a Tilly, he did throw gunpowder and say he "cremated her" so that happened. Her and Cleo don't trust each other, and sort of went around statuses until they eventually became enemies and Pearl helped eliminate Cleo

-Cleo and Martyn seemingly had no relationship/were neutral for the most part. Mean Gils and the Clockers had an alliance going during the Red Wars so they never attacked each other, though Scott was mostly the glue that held up that group

-The T.I.E.S. dislike the Bad Boys, and so far Jimmy and Tango have had limited interactions (Jimmy saying "Sorry Rancher" after Joel killed their cow comes to mind); they do however seem friendly enough with each other, with Tango even complimenting Jimmy for killing him, despite their teams' enemyship

-Grian tried to scam BigB into letting him expand Bad Boys Bread Bridge onto Nosy Neighbor territory; BigB almost let him before Pearl stopped it. BigB and Grian also allied near the end of the series, with Grian trying to convince BigB to leave Pearl for him and Joel until Bad Boys and Nosy Neighbors as a whole teamed up. Grian became an official Nosy Neighbor once Joel died.

-Impulse gave Bdubs a clock as a sign of peace considering their bad blood from previous Life sessions, and seeing as Bdubs remembers the good times from their marriage more than anything, Impulse wanted to bury the hatchet. Bdubs frequently hung out with T.I.E.S. (granted more for Etho than anything), but this had them on friendly terms, with Bdubs even becoming an honorary member. However, at some point Impulse assisted Tango in betraying him for a boogey kill, and during the Red Wars T.I.E.S. and the Clockers became enemies until eventually Impulse killed Bdubs, eliminating him entirely

-Regarding Etho and Bdubs... yeah I'm not touching that mess, y'all have fun tho

#lemme know what I missed! #and hope this was as fun for you as it was for me #the relationships are so messy and i love it #limited life smp #limited life #limited life smp spoilers #limited life spoilers #double life smp #double life
