Introduction 🪶

Hello there!

My name is Billy (she/her), I'm an artist from the land Down Under, and joining tumblr was a canon event I evaded for far too long. I love birds, hate generative AI, and am far too obsessed with Minecraft.

My main fandoms:

Life Series SMP

Hermitcraft

Vampires SMP

Fractures (Rainimator)

Songs of War (Squared Media)

Don't Starve Together

Will post whatever I feel like

(I made these and I'll definitely make more)

Songs of War userboxes pt. 2 - Character-specific

I made so many of these a couple days ago, and I'll definitely make more with different characters when I have some free time. These are just the ones I felt inspired to make at the time I made them.

At the risk of sounding so far up myself, I'd love to take requests for userboxes! These things are really fun to make

Please credit me if you use one of these. Pt. 3 will focus on blooper and hangout-inspired userboxes 🍻

I still love Igneous so much

Songs of War userboxes, pt. 1 - Non-specific

After searching for some SoW userboxes to put on my profile, not finding a single result anywhere, and making a custom one myself, I got inspired to make a few more for fun... and then a few turned into a genuinely ridiculous amount. These things are really fun to make. So excited for the Great War!

Please credit me if you use one of these. I'll post the character-specific boxes I've made later.

Remember sunflower trio? Well, that's them now

love the celestial symbols but they're getting old. we should assign life series members elements of the periodic table instead

[billytimdaff]

They're all oxygen because we can't live without them ;>

Jokes aside, which elements do you think the life series members should be assigned?

I think Grian could be carbon, though that's probably a bit on the nose and not particularly lore-relevant (carbon being the building block of life, Grian giving the series and the fandom life, the Watchers creating the worlds the players are trapped in and assigning them lives, Grian being a Watcher).

Pearl might be cadmium, as cadmium is a toxic heavy metal that builds up in the body over time (crazy person who delighted in harming her soulmate who went more and more insane over time) and cadmium can be used to make red paint (Scarlet Pearl).

Martyn is probably something radioactive, since his first win was chaotic and violent whilst his second win was much more controlled and he was less unpredictable and dangerous (idk enough about radioactive elements to pick something).

I have been enabled, prepare for long as fuck rambling

Grian is Hydrogen! The first element for the first winner and game creator. It's a very light gas, fitting for a guy so often depicted with wings, and it is also Extremely Flammable. And explosive. But essential for life! And it's also most of the sun. For the Watcher-isms, hydrogen in its plasma state glows purple.

Scott is Xenon. I imagine reactivity here as corresponding strongly to aggression, and to a lesser degree energy. Scott is one of the calmest and least aggressive players, he very rarely starts shit (although he will absolutely finish it- and xenon isn't completely noble. it's reactive enough to form a few compounds!). Unreactive is his entire playstyle. So of course he's a noble gas. As for why xenon specifically- all noble gases can glow like neon lights do, in different colours, and xenon happens to be blue! More interestingly, xenon gas has anesthetic properties. I like that a lot for the way everyone always just seems to forget about killing him until he's one of the final greens.

Pearl is Mercury! Also a toxic heavy metal, known for connections to insanity ("mad hatter" comes from mercury compounds being used to make hats, so hatters tended to get mercury poisoning and went mad). I just really like the liquid form for her. And pure elemental mercury is actually fairly inert, and not quite as toxic as you may expect- which fits for Pearl's reputation, and the way people think of Scarlet Pearl before the much more chill way she usually is.

Martyn is Chlorine. I don't see him as aggressive in a radioactive way- radioactivity, to me, is strongly connected with death. Martyn is just a little shit. He's reactive. He's toxic. He's green. He's really good at forming salt. But at the same time, chlorine is an excellent disinfectant and essential for life, reflecting his softer side.

Scar is Carbon. Will bond with just about anything, especially itself, and loves to build huge molecules. I think the element of life works very well for our animal loving, terraforming Mr. Goodtimes. Carbon is also known for the many different forms it takes- it's a very versatile element, and Scar can play many different roles. Also, the specific forms it has are also very Scar. Coal for his arson tendencies, graphite for his artistry, and diamonds. Because diamonds.

Joel is Cesium. This one is mostly because it is the most reactive, explosive metal you can get. Cesium is the heaviest alkali metal, and will spontaneously catch fire in air and explode on contact with water. And... yeah. He's like that. He's a very aggressive player. Other interesting cesium facts are that it has a golden colour, unlike most grey/silvery metals, and it's got an extremely low melting point- around 30°C.

And Cleo is Tungsten. A heavy, durable, and extremely stubborn metal. It's hard to kill someone that's already dead, after all. It's also not malleable in the slightest. Cleo is not an easily manipulated person. If that's not enough, tungsten also has the highest melting point of all elements, so she can set as many fires as they want and not get burned. Not particularly reactive, but does definitely form strong bonds.

I have the non-winners assigned as well, but this reblog is getting long, so I'll save those for another time.

[billytimdaff]

Okay, this all actually makes a lot of sense. Scar makes so much more sense for Carbon, and Mercury for Pearl is just perfect (I'm a bit of an art nerd, so the toxic red paint thing is what made Cadmium stick out to me). No notes, great post

I await any future ramblings on this topic, this is so interesting

"I've been with Martyn many nights. Many, many sleepless nights. We've even laid together in a tomb, huddled close because it was so, so cold outside! He was trembling, I was trembling, and all of a sudden, we stopped trembling together."

There is no platonic or heterosexual explanation for how v!Sausage told this story
