life series doodles from this month !!

Scar won Secret Life!! (do increase your brightness if the art seems too dark for you! :D )

I am laughing so much that i see half of those happening on others povs and just thought it was normal stuff they would do

Like yeah cleo totally would just play a "our base" card on someone for no reason what you mean it was her task??

All secret tasks for session 1:

Bdubs: Make your base deeply uncomftable to use and look at

BigB: Dig a big hole. All the way down. At least 3x3. Make it your base if you want.

Scott: Build your base directly and obnoxiously attached to someone else's

Etho: Collect 4 beds without being caught and place them on a shrine

Gem: Convince someone to take a leap of faith and make sure they take no damage

Grian: Make 3 bad jokes and get NO laughs

Scar: Call people anything but their username for at least 30 minutes of the session BUT changed to coming up eith a nickname for anouther player and getting two other players to use it

Impulse: Make cherrywood your entire identity

Martyn: Build an identical base to anouther player

Lizzie: Write a poem about anouther player and read it to then

Skizz: Don't be further than 20 blocks from GeminiTay for 10 minutes. One attempt only

Jimmy: Break 5 crafting tables while they're being used

Mumbo: Make a pun at every opportunity in a 5 minute conversation, minimum of 3 successful puns

Pearl: Get 3 players to gift you their heart

Joel: Plug the life merch in the worst possible times to other players at least 4 times

Tango: Get Scar to take about Star Wars for over 60 seconds

Cleo: Build your base directly above anouther players above the ground

Everyone was successful or well you know unless you count scars as a failure

secret life Scar for the art requests? 👀

Here you go!!! Hope you like it :D

i made this months ago but forgot to actually post it for some reason LMFAO

...it was supposed to be a full piece with a background and everything, but for some reason i could NOT get the colors right for the live of me. Anyways, i gave up and forgot about it, which is probably why i haven't posted it yet-

my mildly unintelligible incoherent rambling headcannons on the life series but primarily wild life and I had more to say but I had to cut it down lol and I’m mainly posting this for personal reference: (be wary, it is a long post)

Wild life is so fascinating from a lore perspective like in the past it was everyone against everyone else, friendly survival but things were just a little bit off, a little bit desperate, felt a little bit out of control, like maybe something bigger was at work here, but you could look the threat in the eyes and kill it and go home…until you couldn’t. As the strings being pulled turned from invisible twine to neon shoelaces and the hand in the shadows was suddenly the title character and every thing seemed to connect, seemed to end. But it didn’t. The watchers were the center the thumbnail the logo the everything mercilessly piloting the story towards the conclusion they desired, and then it was done, the loop back to the very beginning was made, it was finished. But then it wasn’t. What Real Life and Wild Life have in common is this sort of sense of storytelling absurdity, everything is cut short and brief and it’s silly and horrifying and painful (just to intulude here, I am still discussing everything purely lore wise. The only pain I experienced watching either of those things was sadness when they ended) and suffering doesn’t seem to have a meaning a purpose a quiet dignity anymore it’s April fools and everyone is throwing up and dead their bodies won’t listen won’t function can’t fight cant run but it’s a joke haha there’s no story no rhyme or reason it’s just torture and now the ultimate of random purposeless suffering wild cards they can’t kill each other can’t fight each other because every moment is a struggle to survive as the world itself has turned against them as their bodies betray them as they die in humiliating horrifying ways the very fiber of their being the very core of their world something is terribly terribly wrong it is like the order and rules that bound the life series have broken and the chaos of the void is pouring through drowning the code of the world as the players are ripped to shreds by the avalanche, watching their bodies crumble. It’s like the watchers finished telling their story of perfect and purposeful suffering and then pulled the string holding the knot together. It’s like the life series is a pane of glass that they polished to perfection, punched, and walked away, leaving the shards to slowly shatter as the beauty and horror and chaos and glory that makes up the world spews forth to tear it’s broken remains apart. There will still be the games, but now there is nothing pulling the strings, nothing holding it together. Suffering no longer has a meaning, a purpose, a goal, it is simply suffering. How terrifying must that be to have everything that you are shattering, pieces of you like broken glass strewn about as the void bursts forth to consume the ruins and the wreckage of the world.

We know that life series players are alternate versions of themselves, because while Hermitcraft scar is happily building his zoo in season ten, secret life scar is still out there wandering among the sunflowers. I don’t remember if real life Cleo lived or not, and we don’t know if this season’s winner will live on, but let’s pretend for the sake of this ramble being almost somewhat coherent that both cleo and the new winner live. What happens to the new winner (I’ll get to what happens to Cleo later)? The world is breaking, coming apart at the seams. Each new day brings a fresh horror from the void to try to wipe them out. And what about memories? This is where this strays firmly into headcannon territory, but my personal way of imagining it starts at a fairly ubiquitous jumping off point, the idea that lifers during the games do not have access to their memories, but going upon the alternate versions thing they do not remember the games at all. There is the original player, journeying through smps and servers, and then there is a version of them for each separate life series, shadow copies that they are completely unaware of and unconnected to created by the watchers to play puppets with in their perfect dark fairytale. Each life series is a new copy, because every game the copies all died. Up until secret life. They had had their fun, there was no reason for them to kill off the last one, scar, the winner left alive and alone. The og scar and the secret life scar are not aware of each other because og has no idea about the copy and copy wrongly assumes he is the real scar. He regained all the memories from before of Hermitcraft when he won and the watchers broke the game but the way he understands it is, because again the other life series were other versions of scar, he was on Hermitcraft uninterrupted up until suddenly they were all abducted into this game called secret life and they all were driven insane and killed each other and now he is alone. He can’t leave because the copies are bound to their worlds and doesn’t try to leave because as far as he knows there is no where for him to go. Crucially, again, secret life scar and Hermitcraft scar are two entirely different people.

So let’s imagine for this new winner, living in this horrifying shattered world, there are no more watchers to police memories. The copies are still made, the code is still there, the games carry on, becoming more garbled and twisted with each broken game, so that the copies don’t come out quite right, which explains the movement issues and nausea in real life and the way the wild cards go to the very data of the player and twist it in wild life. So this broken copy wins, and suddenly remembers, just as secret life scar did, all that came before, but the game is even more broken so they remember so much more than that. They see all the lives, every version of themselves. They see themselves after, the version that was never in the games, with their friends, living on. The versions of the friends they know are dead, but alternate, happier, more carefree versions live on with an alternate, happier, more carefree version of themselves. Their friends don’t miss them, don’t know they are gone, because they aren’t. They are alone and trapped on a world doomed to slowly fracture into oblivion. Everything is broken. But they refuse this, perhaps. They rebel. There is nothing tying the world together? Then they will escape through the cracks. They will find this world with the other copies. Real life Cleo, who remembers enough to know that they are are a copy, but the game hasn’t fully broken by real life so she is unaware there were other games. Also I’m realizing now that I haven’t really talked a lot about Cleo but tbh that’s mostly because their character strikes me as someone who is unshakable, pragmatic (this is why I think she and Scott got along so well, they both go at the games with eyes on the prize) who would of course be upset but also be rational, and simply try to make the best out of their life) secret life scar, who still believes that he is the only version of scar out there and that he murdered all of his friends. Both stuck on these worlds alone, but this new winner will break through the walls on these servers, and say come on, we’re here, we’re our own gosh dang people, so let’s go take back our lives. Idk where this goes from there but I headcannon that every real life version of all the players had mobility issues, hence the movement problems, but Cleo is the only real life player left so she’s the only one still experiencing these problems. I also headcannon that the new winner has, well, I haven’t actually figured out the specifics but some sort of residual issues relating to the wild cards and broken code.

this headcannon also introduces some interesting lore ties for Grian, and tbh I haven’t thought to much about how the watcher lore would work in this, well ig this is an au at this point, but if you think about his panic at the end of the most recent session, and that he was able to freeze time, it could be a sort of thing like he is unintentionally the one causing the games to continue being a watcher, but in the past he had no control but now he’s been handed the reins with no instructions and has no idea what to do. All the power and no clue how to use it. This also could lead to some interesting things about watching, because maybe in the past he could watch, could see that they were copies, and played accordingly. He knew the other versions would live on so he resigned himself to a certain extent to death, but now there is no path no clear cut story no string to follow through the dark he can’t see beyond the games and he’s terrified.

anyway that’s like kinda my headcannons idk if anyone will actually read this far but if you did thanks. Also I really wanna write/draw something for this, maybe turn it into a proper au, so if u person who is still reading would like to join me on that endeavor I would love to work with u.

it’s the roomies!!!

This is a Secret Life Roommates teamup appreciation post, go appreciate them!!! (Also, unrelated but I enjoy imagining everyone having little mementos to past things in their lives which is why Grian is wearing a hermempires crossover tee shirt wow I hope I sure hope I didn’t get my timelines mixed up lol that would be embarrassing)

I think one of the funniest team ups in the life series was when Mr. Steals Your Man teamed with Mr. Fumbles Every Bad Bitch That Comes His Way. (I know I wrote that on the drawing but my handwriting is semi-illegible and I’m really proud of that line, like thanks I used up all my humor for the year for that)

It’s the totally-not-furries!! (Ignore the weird shading on Martyn’s arm I drew this literally at midnight last night. Like, not even kidding I made this instead of sleeping I am so tired why why why also by the way longhair Jimmy propaganda do you see the vision spread the skulk good night)

Woah!! Heart foundation Tango Tek??

Tango is, just really fun to draw guys

I WAS DYING SO FUCKIKNGS HARD AT THIS PART

why does lizzie always have the best delivery i'm losing my mind. the "a" in between "you're" and "mesa" is not a typo she just said it like that lmaoo

(pic in one png below bc that's how i drew it lol)

This is my absolute favorite thing at the moment

joel and the smallishbeans

close-ups below!

and again tumblr fucked the quality..... but heres my finished gtws secert life thing!!! not the best work i've done, but needed to draw him so yeah (alt version below cut)

played around with some effects..... think he turned out pretty cool

little wip of seceret life scar idk how to export so ignore the shitty quality

HOLY SHIT THIS IS STUNNING.

💔– Alone

OKAY

Im answering everything except the ones that take to long

(answers below the cut.)

Scar or Grian is favorite for sure and so obviously dessert duo (only third life tho because DL made me angry)

I legit can't pick my favorite fanart but all of Cherri Fires crane lives and Rusty Courages Times up AMV are up there

Watcher lore is life. And also the reason for me freaking out half the time

Third life or last life for sure. I just loved the dynamics and the premise

I honestly can't answer this because I would die in the first session, but I like to think I'd be kinda like Lim Life Martyn even though I'm really wet cat Martyn (oh sorry big dog)

RANCHER (hehe im normal about them)

Most cinematic death is so hard, but maybe like the skizz sacrifice in limited life? Idk about this one

I kinda love all the watcher lore in secret life (don't just kinda love it im LIVING FOR THAT) Also there's a headcanon that everyone's wounds don't heal in this season, which I think is absolutely genius and I can't remember whose headcanon that was but I'll find it

I'm manifesting scar. He deserves it

Dunno if this counts, but i would BRING REN BACK bc REN IS GONE

I kinda never watch Big B (except this season and I LOVE IT), and also he ripped apart scar and grian in DL so....

OK HEAR ME OUT

Kind of separate BUT in the home servers is the only place where players remember the games (think scar being traumatized by an explosion in HC after lim life), and when they're in the games all they can remember is they've seen that face before, splattered with blood and streaked with tears, but they can't recall if it was only a dream or not

Also when players die they go back to their home server with trauma.

Most watched pov is grian (scar and martyn are close seconds)
