cfundy one of the characters everrr. he has daddy issues and grandpa issues and his mom is a dead fish. and hes transgender. he's two years old. he's also a furry. he has prophetic dreams that are never resolved. He was going to be adopted by someone that killed him when he was like 6 months old but they slept through the adoption ceremony. all of his plotlines were completely dropped

harrowing experience to fall in love with a character because theyre a well written twisted sick evil villain manipulator and then you seek out creator interviews and find out the person behind it thought they were writing some kind of cheeky lovable scamp with a heart of gold

We talk a lot about the beheading (rightfully so!!!!) But i feel like we as a fandom dont do enough with the second part of the loyality test

mothpines

Like. Beheading someone when you know that they will come back is one thing. Traumatizing? Sure. Murder is like that. But when they asked you themselves to do it and you know that they will be revived is one thing

In the second part ren is red. If he dies, he dies permamently. He attacks martyn himself. Martyn COULD kill ren. He COULD argue that he did it in self defense later on. Even if Skizz came over like he did in canon he could give him a beliveable story without even lying that much! Ren did attack him! He could have dogwarts to himself, he could have taken another player out of the game (both would increase his chances of winning by a lot) and EVEN IF he got killed by skizz as an act of revenge, he would be only YELLOW. Fuck, martyn himself said that he planned to betray ren at some point! This was the perfect opportunity!!!

AND HE DIDNT TAKE IT!!! HE STAYED LOYAL!!!! DO YOU SEE WHY IM SO FUCKING INSANE

Like i have read MULTIPLE FICS of 3rd life treebark where after the beheading they just completely ignore the second part which i feel like is wasted potential!!! Come on guys!!! The angst!!! The fucking angst!!!!

AND DONT FORGET THAT REN DID ALL THIS WHEN HE THOUGHT THAT MARTYN WAS GOING TO BETRAY HIM!!! THEY MAKE ME SICK

"NO! No, I won't do it!"

"You took me in when I was a lowly traveller, going across the lands, searching the four corners of this world, and I learned there was nothing in this world for me... Nothing but walls, corners, edges."

"And you know what? You showed me life."

"As much as I've taken it from you, you gave it back to me in buckets' fulls.

And I'm with you."

"This is us now.

This is us."

Another fun tidbit about this is how Martyn used the phrase "buckets' fulls" when it's a phrase that doesn't exist irl but in the context of living in a Minecraft world? Boy does it have quite the symbolism

If you take Evo as Traffic!Martyn's backstory prior to Third Life, then Netty would've taught Martyn how important water buckets are.

Using them to bucket clutch (which Martyn did in the solo Enderdragon fight. idk if the others died in that fight but if you say that they only had one life during that fight, then Martyn's journey would've ended right there and he would've never met Ren to be devoted to him)

Traverse up and down more easily, destroy minecart rails without wasting pickaxe durability (when Martyn revealed the failed tnt minecart enchanted table trap, he tried to disarm it by pouring water on it and thus destroy the rails- but that's not a feature anymore in modern Minecraft)

And save yourself from still being on fire.

Buckets are an important thing in Minecraft, especially to a survivalist. So to say that someone has given you buckets' fulls of something? That isn't something to be taken lightly.

Ren is his bucket of water that eases his pain, stops him from being hurt, and collects pieces of his heart. His bucket of milk that clears his mind and comforts him. And his bucket of lava that warms and protects him

Ah man, another reason why i should finally watch evo like ive been meaning to!!!!

The first thing that popped into my mind when it comes to martyn and buckets is the ending of limited life where he uses a bucket of lava to win, so thats another thing!!! (Especially since ren wasnt in limited life)

But man im definitely gonna be thinking about this. Man. How do you feel about the fact that you have made my already severe treebark brainrot even worse
