K but what if watcher grian's thousand eyes were the ones of people he loved in the past

I'M JUST SAYING IT'D BE COOL IF SOMEONE DREW THAT </3

• Iris, the newly fallen Ruler and often seen dictator of the Following. Power hunger and righteousness became her untimely downfall, along with anyone on her side and her very own child.

• Ivy, prisoner of the Following. Saving her from imprisonment became an ultimate goal. Her own sister locked her away in claims of containing a so called corruption that fueled Ivy's veins.

• The "Lotus Eaters": groups of lost and convinced cultists found themselves in bliss and over-indulgence as they found the island of mindless fruits.

• Additional monsters of the Codfather's island: while the other entities of the island were prone to belittle and tease the disfigured cod, they were still intent to protect him. They don't tend to be too fond of false alarms, however.

• The man-eaters: this story's Laestrygonians, Queen Lizzie created an entirely new species of seemingly mutated fish creatures, most in resemblance to Axolotls. They are hungry for any unfortunate soul who falls into their waters.

The Underworld

• Will & Eddie: two souls who miss their friends and loved ones dearly. Each were happy to see those they cherish on their journey through the Underworld. Though brief, they did what they could to give the remaining crew some sense of comfort and love they once were so overabunted in giving.

• Michela & Redd: two souls filled with bitterness and resentment. While they could find themselves forgiving their friends for foolish choices & careless disregards, wounds are too fresh for them to have a clear mind. Floods of their friends have come in, screaming their tragedies and fueling more hatred among plenty of them towards the unfortunate survivors.

Monsters

• A reflection shown to a captain long in need of a wake up call

• Scylla: a monsterous amalgamation of history's corruptions. She takes on her most recent host's appearence. From that of convincing fae, to fungal viruses that took over their hosts minds, Scylla hungers and she will feed.

Alt. Gods

• Aeor: a more casual, human esque appearence. He takes on this look for those He typically doesn't expect to live long enough to remember. He takes on this look to make sure any mortal will hear what He has to say.

• Exor: a more casual, friendly appearence. Years have passed and they wish to appear approachable as they can manage as they approach the son of someone they would once and wish to call their friend.

• Sausage, the island of paradise. He just wants to go home. He just wants to feel home.

Pt.1 || Pt. 2 || Pt. 3 || Pt. 4 || Pt. 5 [Here]

Okay I cannot physically think of anymore characters or important appearances I need to add. I am crossing my fingers that this will finally be the end of the sketches.

The looks are rushed cos I did all these sketches today in hopes of getting a post out before the end of the month so here we are.

This project is bringing me so much joy I won't lie.

The wisdom Saga is also making me Feel Things /pos

Oh mah gawd ur art is absolutely beautiful

Wondering what drawing app you use?

Also, could you maybe try drawing Joel as a Watcher? It's for my fic and I'm not good enough at drawing to do it well

I would appreciate it 👉👈

Howdy!! I currently use Clip Studio paint Ex (base version)

If you're looking for free programs I'd suggest Firealpaca or Medibang!

Day 176 —Look around

Do I have to put any trigger warnings on this?? There's no eye contact, but it still might make somebody uncomfortable

Day 169 — Here we go again

The first shot is Evo Grian, the second and third ones are Grian somewhere in between life series

Day 168 is Fancy

I had a strong desire to draw this concept, so there we go! This art gives me Watcher Ariana Griande vibes :D

Day 155 is tumblr people opinions on Listeners (from Day 124)

+ there was a lot of comments about Listeners having bats features, but I already showed this on Day 124 :D

Under the cut is Day 124 Listeners part (kinda changed Martyn lmao)

Day 154 Cowabummer!

Ok, so, here's a thing. I had a thought about Watchers and EvoSMP (Dunno if smb said this theory before). I believe that there was a moment when Taurtis was talking to Grian, then Grian said smth to audience (us) and Taurtis went like "Who are you talking to". Grian answered "To the audience". What if "the audience" is The Watchers? What if we are The Watchers?

Just think about it. We are talking to content creators, they listen to us, but other cc can't see us unless they really want to.

All the life games are happening partly because of the audience. They are happening because of us watching it.

And if we are creating fanon things, the only ones who can hear us are Grian and Martyn (with cannon happenings like smb asking questions "Who are you talking to" and considering the fact that Martyn is Listener). For everyone else on the servers their talkings with "audience" might be like posttraumatic things with Listeners and Wathers??? Like EvoSMP?

I don't know much about Listener Martyn lore, so can't give great theories about him

Lmao I'm pretty sure smb had this idea before and I just didn't know 'bout it. Have a nice day, dear watchers audience!

Okay, it turns out that this is CANNON, guys, I've created not theory, I just figured out cannon!! What a genius I am!! >:D

Day 146 — Scar is using his Scary-Parrot privilege to sit on the tree

I’ll give you some context tomorrow :p

Day 130 — Have you ever considered taking a look twice

—————————————

I have no idea of what this is. Also unfinished

Day 126 is kinda light studies in the sketch for EvoAu by @/solargeist!

They are "kinda" studies because I have no idea how light works

I would really like to do a big art tomorrow, but who knows what will come in my mind

Day 124 What are LISTENERS like?

Some ideas for Martin are from arts that I saw anywhere

Also any ideas for Listeners are really appreciated!

Day 122 is a very sketchy art for EvoAu by @solargeist

I'm kinda nervous tagging an artist for the first time (Not counting DTIYS), please have a mercy

Day 111 — the infinity is closer than you think

Day 52 — Deal with the Angel

sorry i need to let this out

the pipeline of fixating over some thingy

in contrast to my previous post ((cw: blood, body horror

my poor guy😔😔((the horrors he is witnessing are entirely optional yet i choose "yes" every time)

Theories and Headcannons Pt. 24

So a week ago we got a little teaser from Martyn about hints for the next Life Series season, around an hour after we got another subtle clue from Cherrifire, a commissioned arist of Martyn and Grian for their thumbnails. Moving onto four days later where in a Phasmo stream with GIGS, Grian althought not explicitly, teased the recording of a certain something. That something most likely being the next installment of the Life Series as he previously stated during the aftermath of the Ender Cup, that the next season was in development. So now four months later, and with the release of that little crumb of information you would think it would be the last. But approximately an hour ago (of the time writing this), Scar drops a bombshell of information as a GIF of traffic lights blinking.

Effectively reinforcing the possibility of the next season arriving extremely soon as traffic lights is a predominant symbol of the Life Series with the three-life system of green, yellow, and red matching with the known pattern of traffic lights. Hence traffiblr also referring to the Life Series.

With the date of the next season of the Life Series been generally confirmed, the twist of this subsequent still remains unknown. But by disecting each post from credible sources (Inthelittlewood, Cherrifire and GoodtimewithScar), it's possible to gain a sliver of understanding about the next gimmick for this upcoming season.

Starting with Martyn's post, his reponse to a question regarding the Life series were a series of rhyming verses otherwise known as a couplet. His reponse goes as:

"Nope. Not a slither, not a slice, not a hint, not a price,

not a right, not a wrong, not a verse, not a song,

not a fork, not a list, not a fog, not a mist,

not a shine, not a spree, not a thing from me"

With lines and words like not a slither, slice, hint, verse, list and not a thing from me commonly used in other media to express a concept that is left unsaid or unexplained to conceal or hide information. Other phrases like not a price, right, wrong, song, fork, fog, mist, shine and not a spree seem unusual and seem only used to act as rhyming words. But since this couplet's rhyming patterns goes like (word) (rhyming word) (word) (rhyming word), words like price, wrong, song, mist and spree can be eliminated only leaving right, fork, fog and shine used for clues.

Words like fog and shine can be connected easily with the concept of revealing something concealed by layers of dense things with the good or "light". Maybe uncovering the lore of the Watcher's to the rest of the participants as the right path taken since the Watcher has a lasting cameo in the previous Life Series. It would be poetic as the fifth installment of the Life Series that the Watchers would return as an antagonist force. The way fork is incoporated into this theory is the mannered and dignified repute it carries where in the eleventh century, it was considered prestigous or vain to use a fork. Similar to the Watchers and the means they present themselves.

Other theories like @strychninesss 's double life 2 utilises the couplet's use of repition and pairs to conlclude the return of the soulmate gimmick with its repeatability and new possibilities with the pairing of new soulmates.

Our second poem arrived from Martyn's accomplice Cherrifire, with her reply to his cryptid poem was to produce another poem herself and that being:

"Oh, well in that case you're not getting a peep, not even a taste of the secrets I keep.

Of course, I could tell you all I know, but it's way more fun to give you a show.

Or perhaps this is all a trick, and Martyn’s just being a— very mean person.

Whatever it may be, you'll just have to wait and see."

With this poem following the rhythmic pattern of (Rhyming) (Rhyming), the couplet mainly focuses on the information Cherri deliberately chooses to withold and the her dilemma to diclose her details to fandom. In the end, she decides to hold the spoilers and express her intrest into the chaos that can produced with limited clues given before the said show begins.

Well the structure and the style of the poem is reminiscient of how the Watchers approach and address the members of Evolution SMP back in 2017. With the Watchers depicted as this all-knowing beings that can see everything and perceive all things, they often speak in this entitled mannerisim due to their privileged abilities. And with the legacy of the Watchers being continued but altered with every iteration or headcannon of them, they have commonly been altered into these beings that revel in the chaos and angst produced by the participants of the Life Series. This message could be a warning to the fans that the Watcher's could play a more major role compared to the Secret Keeper in Secret Life as a tribute to the four seasons and three years of the Life Series.

These statements revealed by Grian, Scar, Martyn and Cherrifire has just almost confirmed the arrival of the season five for the Life Series be very soon. Although there is the possibility Grian could be hyping us up for an entirely different video that collaborates with other mcytbers, evidence piles to point towards the next installment coming hopefully, next week.

Oh COd I was scrambling to finish writing this one

Headcannons and Theories time Pt.8

More headcannons regarding the Watchers and Listeners, what if there was more dieties besides the default Watchers and Listeners in the world of Evolution SMP and similar servers.

Orginally, the Watchers were based off the idea of that the viewers watching the player's videos were to input suggestions through comments. But now has evolved into a seperate entity different from the original premise into an etheral organisation who watches. Although the interpretation of the Watchers differ between viewers, the main concept of them being an evil presence is a common theme between ideas, but what if there was more dieties.

Both the Watchers and Listeners already exist and a common idea that links them is that they are two of the five common senses of the human body. Other fanmade concepts such as the Speakers from marsmarbles their Chained Life AU exist adding onto the original concept but what if there was another entity.

An entity that was there from the beginning. An entity more powerful than the Watchers and Listeners combined. A godly presence who created the Watchers, Listeners and all those who come after them like Khaos (Chaos) from Greek Mythology. A being whose concept relates to the mind as that is the body part that controls and operates the different organs of a body. Like a name of the Overmind(s) who spawned the Watchers and Listeners to help in their endeavor to expand the universe and whose descendants eventually became the Admins.

So in summary, what if there was more godly entities besides the Watchers and Listeners and what if an more etheral and ancient presence existed before the Watchers and Listeners. Thus, the Overmind.

More More More Theories Part.7

So after the events of Evolution SMP, the Watchers as an organisation were and are still perceived as an evil presence that hurt and kidnapped the players of the Life Series. Starting with the indoctrination of Grian into the Watchers at the end of his POV for Evo SMP.

But my theory is that the Watchers aren't inherently evil but just an ethereal presence that interfered too much with the lives of the players. Their actions such as punishing Grian and the other members for thier mischevious deeds during the earlier events of Evo and, indoctrinating Grian into becoming a member of the Watchers could be percieved as evil(and is commonly percieved as evil). But what if their actions were just to help them expand their presence and keep the players they were meant to "watch" in check.

And so because of their actions, they interfered too much resulting in a domino effect of the players discovering and exploring their presence developing in the Watchers being antagonised.

But this also dominoes to effect the Listeners seperate godly beings who deciede to exploit the situation and act as the "good" force by rescuing Martyn from the Watchers' interference and promoting him to be the like a frontman for the Listeners to display their good deeds. Further promoting the idea that the Watchers are evil and the Listeners are the good forces in the world of Evo and further.

Hiding the fact that these etheral beings are neither good or evil or, can be defined by words of mortals because of their actions taken during their lifetime. Their actions that can be loosely described as good or evil depends on the players or others viewing them and with their almost infinite life-span time streches rendering definte adjectives useless.

pain this took 5hrs writers block be tought D:

Theories More Pt. 6

So the members who currently interact and talk with Grian from the members of Evolution SMP include Jimmy (Solidarity Gaming), Martyn (InTheLittleWood), BigB (bigbst4) and Pearl (PearlescentMoon). And these listed people (their online personas ofc) all have connections and links to the lore of the Life Series and more specifically the Watchers who also originated from the Evo Smp who then migrated to the Life Series (Secret Life).

My theory is that through their efforts of the attempted retrival of Grian and restorement of Evo after the Ender Dragon fight, the Watchers cursed them with their curses revealing or unearthing themselves during the Life Series.

These curses include :

Jimmy - The Canary Curse, (a curse set into a player's code to remind them of the tradegy they bring and the warnings they provide)

Martyn and Pearl - Insanity (a curse brought upon those who protected the weak idk)

BigB - A Tragedy Upon Those Around Them (the curse for the one who cared too much)

A note for Martyn is that his insanity only occurs momentairily and in bursts when compared to Pearl because of his connections to the Listeners who rescued him during the stage when the curse was becoming permanent in the code. Only altering the curse to happen in weaker bursts and sporadically.

Adding into headcannony ideas, the curses established cant be removed either manually from an admin or a defective Watcher. This is because the curse or the code was established so long ago thats its been incorporated and permanetly embodied in the player's code.

So ye the curses of Evo on the remaining members. :D
