I just realized that just like how Grian and Scar never left the desert of 3rd life, Martyn and Timmy never left that weird little shack they called a police station on EVO
Okay I am mainly making this for myself but I am adding here all the secret life tasks people are doing so when I rewatch the first episode from different povs I can go "OH MY GOD THATS WHAT THEY WERE DOING"
SO BELOW HERE ARE SPOILERS FOR SESSION 1 SECRET LIFE SMP TASKS
Tango: Get Scar to talk about Star Wars for over 60 seconds
Scar: Call people anything but their username for at least 30 minutes of the session (failed), Come up with a nickname for another player and convince 2 other people to use it (New harder task after a reroll)
Mumbo: Make a pun at every opportunity in a 5 minute conversation, minimum of 3 successful puns
Joel: Plug the life merch at the worst possible times to other players at least 4 times
BDubs: Make your base deeply uncomfortable to use and look at
Martyn: Build an identical base to another player
Scott: Build your base directly and obnoxiously attached to someone else's
Skizz: Don't be further than 10 blocks from GeminiTay for 10 minutes. One attempt only
Jimmy: Break 5 crafting tables while they are being used
Cleo: Build your base on top of someone else's base
Gem: Convince someone to take a leap of faith and make sure they take no damage
Etho: Collect 4 beds without being caught and place them on a shrine
Lizzie: Write a poem about a player and read it to them
Impulse: Make cherrywood your entire identity
BigB: Dig a big hole. All the way down. At least 3x3. Make it your base if you want
Doll!Scott’s giving vocaloid vibes to me. Yknow, like Mind Brand. I’m definitely gonna draw him like that at some point, but I have too much homework rn to do it :(((
HE'S IN SO MUCH PAIN YOU CAN HEAR IT IN THE LITTLE SCREAM AT THE END OF THE EPISODE
HE ENCOUNTERED SAUSAGE AND WAS TRAUMATIZED AND DECIDED HE NEEDED POWERS TO BE SAFE FROM THE OTHER HYBRIDS
AND HE WAS WILLING TO DO ANYTHING
"Thank you for watching my video logs, and... yeah. On to the next adventure." KILLED ME
SCREAM?????? I DON’T THINK I HEARD A SCREAM, BUT IF HE DECIDED TO (like for his death in Outsiders SMP) I THINK I’D DIE
He named the chapter where he made the machine and got in it “Making a Whisk” BRO. DUDE. HOMEBOY. WHY ARE YOU CALLING IT A WHISK
Owen likes watching us suffer, I swear. Sadist. He loves it.
Sparrow has always wanted powers. Fella studied bones and appeared mostly chill with crashing into an island. Whatever this machine brings him, he knows death is a possibility, and he knows pain is a certainty.
Honestly, though sad, I kind of feel a sense of pride in him.
“On to the next adventure.” He’s made peace w/ that too. He’s not under the impression that this won’t be a shitty experience. I’m glad, because if he was, if he thought this wouldn’t hurt, I don’t know if I’d recover
this was my first time drawing either of them so this was super fun! /gen they are the most ever
my cat has been actively trying to stop me from drawing them shsbd
[Image ID 1: a tumblr comment that says "scar and grian?"
Image 2: a traditional pencil half body drawing of dlsmp grian. he faces slightly right with a neutral expression and one hand held limply up by his chest.
Image 3: a matching drawing of dlsmp scar. his torso is turned slightly left while his head turns to look right, he smiles at jellie resting her paws on his shoulder.
So I've been thinking about this ever since Gem posted the colors and hearts and honestly I will be very curious to see if she ends up in Traffic Season 5 and more importantly how she plays... I remember she talked about how she thought it would be super stressful to be in "improv brain" all the time, and I get that and I hope she has fun.
Martyn's also talked about how he tries to go out of his way to set traps or go for flashy kills instead of PVP, saying that he considers himself on the upper end of PVP skills, but he feels like the traps and the flair are more unique for the Life series and he wants to create something that's interesting and flashy to watch (and/or give others more of a fighting chance against him).
I'm not sure if the other creators make an effort to prefer traps - I just know they scaled back OP arrows and enchantments after 3rd Life - but since Gem's set up as someone with a powerful PVP reputation, I'm interested to see if she sticks to what she knows or if she experiments with traps... and how that might impact potential alliances.
Do you dare base with a powerful person who doesn't have the years of established social protocol, and therefore might whip out the skills and slay you for the bit??
I remember her putting in the grind to get diamonds when she was possessing Cleo, and Bdubs seemed a little surprised that she would spend her screen time on that (or at least that was my interpretation)... Is Gem super competitive and will she stock up on trap materials, putting in the grind for resources?? Will she successfully get stuff or will she be pressed for time?
I've seen her in SMPs where you can take your time with the grind and you enjoy plentiful resources, but in the Life series, everything from time to resources to space is super limited. Gotta wow the crowd so spending episodes mining would be risky. What will she do?? idk but this will be interesting
Also expanding on the viktor is sparrow idea alongside the fact that this blog could may as well be sparrow's journal
Would that mean sparrow has had multiple occasions where he imagined himself as a chicken? As well as having multiple occasions wherein he thought of using copper golem pearl as a power source?
Or would it be more of a diary:
"6/7
Dear diary,
today all of the hybrids gathered around an oxidized Pearl and decided to try and make her move. They said that it was a huge success, but I wasn't able to see much of a difference (People said she at least moved an inch. Did she even move at all?) We then had a celebration at Gem's house which went terribly wrong (All that you need to know is that it was utter chaos..) Good thing I made the right decision to leave early, otherwise I'd either be burnt by Sausage or stung by Gem"
(Bonus: the 6/7 refers to the date that the oxidized pearl idea was shown, I tried to make it as close to a diary/records journal as possible :D)

ooooooooooooooh
Just leaving this here for Vicktor to respond to when star gets the chance lol... I just need to answer this so I can get to the next one for reasons that will be clear in just a minute

This is plain beautiful. I also headcannon that Sparrow has multiple unfinished journals, like multiple unfinished skethbooks. They just start one, find another cool looking one, and forget about the last.
I may be projecting, but it's seemingly a common experience so whatever.
Also expanding on your idea, Sparrow definitely has his own fursona at this point after fangirling over hybrids so much. Love the little details you've added!
