so a lot of the time grian is portrayed as aloof, self-serving - but that's not what he's really like, is it? for all that grian gets a reputation of being cold and uncaring, if you look at how he is with his allies, it's quite the opposite. grian has such a capacity for fierce devotion that he's displayed time and time again - and the reason why it gets overlooked is because that devotion only lasts as long as the person it's directed at is there to receive it. grian will be unquestionably loyal to his allies, but only up until they die. he doesn't stay loyal after death. what's interesting about that, however, is that it doesn't mean he doesn't care. rather, i think he cares too much - not in general, but in his own eyes.
scott says, "never seen a man drop a pair of sunglasses quicker", to which grian replies, "my boys died", as if that explains everything. and it does. because that's the crux of it, isn't it? we all know that grian, at heart, is a survivor - but i don't think it's his life that he wants so desperately to protect. if it was, he wouldn't be nearly so daring, so willing to put himself out there - no, there are ways to play the game carefully, and grian knows this. the reason why he's as guarded as he is, why he will do his best to take and take and take until the universe has nothing left to give, is because he's scared of the grief that he would feel if he let the relationships he makes be more than something temporary that he allows himself to care for only for as long as it exists. if he doesn't stay attached, if he only acknowledges something good while he has it, then it can't hurt him to lose it. grian is a survivor, yes. but his emotions always mattered more than winning or dying ever did.
grian will scratch and claw, will fight for an alliance with everything he has - but as soon as that alliance is gone? well, there's nothing left to fight for, is there?
(he pretends there's nothing left, needs to convince himself that it all means nothing now, because he's afraid of what he would feel if he let himself admit that there are some things that continue to matter even after they're gone.)

This took me 16 hours!!!
This might be the best thing I’ve ever drawn

If the bad boys have a million fans, I'm one of them
If the bad boys have one fan, I'm that fan

Ok but the tragedy that was the Clockers finale.
I know we got a nice ghosts family reunion at the end, but like—
Cleo trading away her skulk sensors for Scars life. The thing she spent nearly 5 episodes collecting, keeping in mind she was only alive for 8. She spent over half of her time alive on that server trying to get those sensors, and yet she willingly trades them away, not for her own life, but for Scars.
A trade that proves pointless in the end. It doesn’t save him.
Cleo, episode 1, telling her boys that she would let them kill her if they were ever the boogyman and they couldn’t find someone else VS Cleo episode 8, 3 hours left to live and STILL telling Bdubs to ask if he needs help, to let her know if he needs a life because even with only 3 hours left to live she is STILL willing to let him kill her for extra time.
A sacrifice she never gets to make because Bdubs is stubborn and reckless, and ultimately ends up dying in a battle that she started.
It’s the way that no matter how hard Cleo tries, it’s never enough. The way that she exhausts every last drop of her own energy into protecting her children - feeding them, clothing them, trying her best to keep them alive, and it’s Still. Never. Enough.
Cleo naming a clock, calling it “Momma’s Favourite Boy” and giving it to Bdubs. Bdubs, who had been made to feel like the inferior son from the start. No matter how often she declared Scar her favourite. No matter what she herself might have personally felt was true. Cleo giving him that clock not even a full 15 minutes before his final death. Bdubs dying with it tucked away in his pocket. One, singular golden clock inscribed with the one thing he had always wanted to hear - proof of his mothers love for him. A heartfelt gesture that comes almost too late to count. The only time she had ever told him, and now he’s gone.
Scars initial jealousy of the Clock. Him bitterly muttering that he thought him and Cleo had something special, and Cleo promising to give him one too when she gets another one. A promise she never gets to keep.
Scar’s reaction to his brothers death. The way the cannon fires and he just stops before silently turning to look at where he had expected Bdubs to be. The way he just silently walks over to where Bdubs had once stood only to find absolutely nothing there. The way Grian is still firing at him, but he doesn’t really seem to notice because he’s still in shock.
And Cleo. Cleo who never even gets to mourn the death of her child. The way she doesn’t even realize at first because her and Bdubs had died at exactly the same time, only she’d had more time than him. She doesn’t even know what’s happened until she’s hears Grian say it. And you can hear that initial shock in her voice for the duration of about 5 seconds, but she never gets to mourn because Grian is still firing at Scar. Scar, who can’t even pick himself up off the floor, who doesn’t even have a weapon in his hand as he just walks back and fourth over the spot where his brother had died as if expecting him to magically appear. The way Cleo casts herself between them, stepping in front of Grian and shielding Scar with her own body.
The way Grian stops firing the instant Cleo steps between them going “Don’t take Scar out of the game.” The way he drops his shield and books it. Cleo doesn’t even take a single swipe at him. She holds her sword up menacingly, creeping towards him, but she knows her primary purpose at this particular moment is in protecting Scar, and Grian knows it too, and yet he takes ONE look at Cleo and books it. He books it because when he looked at her, he didn’t see a mourning mother. He saw a violent and seething rage barely contained beneath the surface and he knows the ONLY thing keeping that rage in check is her love for her children. Her love for her child who he has just murdered, and the only thing preventing her from killing him for it is her love for her last remaining son who is still mourning the death of his brother.
The way Cleo never even gets to mourn him. Physically is not allowed to mourn because she is still a mother. She doesn’t get to be a person, doesn’t get to feel her pain because she’s a mother. Her son needs her, and he comes first. Because a mother is always a mother before anything else. She has to put her kids before herself because that’s what a mother does.
The fact that Cleo is the last Clocker standing. Has to live with the loss of both of her children and live with the knowledge that she wasn’t able to save them. Has to live with the knowledge that despite her best efforts, she was never able to save them. She was never enough. She never gets to give Scar that clock she promised him. The fact that Bdubs’ last words were about her, reassuring his brother, telling him not to worry because he knows Mom will save them. And she tries, but it’s still not enough. She isn’t able to save him, and she has to live with that.
The fact that one of the last things she tells Scar is that they are likely going to die together because they are close to the same time. Them dying on the same battlefield mere feet from each other less than a minute apart, and yet they never see each other. Cleo can hear him struggling in the background but can’t get to him because she’s firing at Pearl. She’s literally JUST stated that she only has 8 minutes left when she sees the lighting that belongs to Scar and runs straight for it, sees Grian, and dive bombs him. The fact that she doesn’t even say a single word. Just goes straight for him. The fact that it’s still not enough. She’s overpowered again and never gets to avenge the death of her children.

secret life joel has seriously got me so fucked up
it's something about how in 3rd life he was all alone, he had his dogs and his all-consuming propensity for destruction and that was that. he had the taste of fire climbing up his throat, the smoke that clouded his vision and turned everything red, and that was all he ever needed, no alliance ever meant a thing to him beyond how it would eventually look when it went up in flames. then in last life he made attempts at something resembling genuine connection, but they fell through and so he fell back on what he knew, what was familiar. he made alliances that only went as far as the shared blood they could draw, willingly relinquished himself to the comfort of loneliness and death, and ended up being damn good at it. he had his fingers with the red dripping from them and not much more, and he never asked for more, either. all he really had was himself and the fire. and he was fine staying like that, everything was as it was meant to be, it was fine.
but then came double life and etho and the relation ship, and suddenly joel had something to fight for, a cause and a direction for the destruction, and when the relation ship burnt it was a conscious, purpose-filled decision to let his own blaze explode outwards and reduce everything else to embers and smouldering ash. joel said, "the ship burns, everything burns," and even when his words came true in the cruellest way possible, when everything burnt and he and etho followed, in the spills of swirling lava, amidst their sizzling remains that quickly dissolved into nothingness, something had changed.
and then came limited life and the bad boys, and at this point joel had known what it was to be wanted and to want, and maybe he never expected the bad boys to matter as much as they did in the end, but it happened before he'd even had time to notice, slowly and then all at once, and there was no denying now that he cared. and this time when he died, it was reckless and desperate and with one name playing on repeat in his ears until the sky came down and he heard nothing at all. he died wanting to stay alive, in a world where suffering and loss grew on you like fungi until it was all you ever knew how to feel, joel died with something to live for and something to die for.
and now here he is. in secret life. and you'd think someone like joel, someone who never really asked for connection, someone who knows how to stay himself with nothing but an army of wolves surrounding him, would get burnt once or twice and close himself right off, go back to doing what he knows and what works. but for someone so accustomed to loneliness that he wears it like a second skin, joel remains startlingly willing to put himself out there. he remembers the bad boys, screams when jimmy dies and gives grian hearts and tells him he would always help him out. he, despite the complicated nature of their relationship and the way they always seem to go for each other in fights, despite how he's made sure to put on an air of being unaffected when it comes to their memories, nevertheless gets in a boat with etho and openly tells him that he still cares, it's just - it's just. when pearl is green and he is yellow, he purposely throws away his guess to ensure that she is safe around him. joel, the character who you'd think would be most likely to spurn every alliance and go back to fighting for himself only because if he doesn't, no one else will - joel, despite all that, is actively trying to be more, more than what he is and what he already knows how to be.
you can see it in how he is as a red life, too. in every previous season, to the point where other lifers have made note of it, joel has become imprudent, excessively reckless and rash when he's gone down to red. in contrast to secret life, where he's more or less calmly completing tasks, gathering resources and preparing himself for possible eventualities. his actions this go around are step-by-step, organised and calculated in a way they weren't before. and obviously part of that is to do with the nature of this season, there isn't much room to be reckless when everything you do has to correspond with what's in your book. and tomorrow is life day, probably the last session, and who knows what's going to happen. but still, it cannot be denied that joel's demeanour has changed to be more collected this time - especially impressive if you remember that he's lost three people he loved already.
over the course of the life series joel has been learning what it is to love and be loyal and fully and unquestionably open yourself up to someone. despite getting hurt over and over again, something that by all rights should have warned him off from getting close to people forever, he's instead taken everything good about those relationships and carried it with him. in a world that pushes everyone to fall to the same character flaws, he's found space for growth and healing, and that is so beautiful it hurts.
