I'm back with another poem! This one is Jimmy centered though I love the concept of the canary curse!! (I did write this before wild life came out, the curse doesn't follow as well anymore but still)
Canary Call
the first to fall
doomed to die
within these walls
A warning to others,
A sacrifice made,
one born to soar
forced into his cage.
See they not what happens?
Change they not the odds?
Feed from the feelings of fallen
Unfortunate one they caught.
Every life starts the same
Too naïve to ever see
Avoidance of fate, futile as ever
Binded curse can't let him be.
At first it was luck
Then second was blame,
Mislooked, missteppedmistakes end his game…
Though fifth it blurrs
Fairy Fauxed a lifted curse
Fall, void delayed death
Pushed- unready to die first.
Caged spirit yearns for freedom
Hear afar his songbird sing,
A notch in brass cracks in the sun.
Fly high always, Yellow canary wing.
Its been like 2 years since I've posted anything here lmao..
ANYWAYS-
I got inspired recently by a reblog that said they really liked my poems and honestly that made me really happy. So I thought I'd share one of the other poems I made for the life series like 2 years ago.
I especially love the end, I edited it while making this post actually. It was originally "Despite all he rinse repeat" but in the more recent life series Jimmy has well past broken out of the curse, so I changed it to "A notch in brass cracks in the sun" as an allusion where the "brass" of the cage is cracking, therefore, the curse is breaking, not fully though since he is still the second to die in secret life.
When it comes to the canary curse pre-wild life, I like to think that Lizzie was pushed into the void by the watcher (via the enderman that she DID NOT LOOK AT) but she didn't die first, the void delayed her actual death till after Jimmy died to try and keep the curse running. its a whole head cannon thing I remember seeing on here like AGES ago if I ever find it ill probably reblog and tie it back to here.
I still have one more poem I made around the same time ago about DL!Pearl. (I love scarlet pearl so much) Debating posting that one too... We will see.
I made my own Minesona as a mini fella!
Dorothy Bee 💛🖤
Directly inspired by @millastaria 's mini fella drawings and art style. She recently posted a little guide on how she draws her little guys (I'll link the original post under the cut) and i couldn't help myself to try it cuz its just so damn cute!!
Could you maybe post a "anatomy" scetch for your mini fellas, I wanna understand their Structure!
Ty!

Life series Poems: Wild Life Watchers Introduction.
Since Wild Life is finally over (one of my favorite season by far) I wrote the watchers intro poem for the season the night i watched the finale lol. This is the 6th poem for the 6th Season of the life series. You can find the original post of the first 5 at the bottom!
Wild Life 🎲🚦
In shadows deep, the dice are rolled.
All the players, the fated eighteen,
Day by day the game now differs.
Wild cards begin at Darkest green,
You feel fractions of us,
in size and famished desire,
Death by shell of a dweller,
The speeding arc of the timer,
Dropped with tests on the past,
Untamed creatures alter and run,
A gift of phenomena, each selected,
The ending is yours, but Our will be done.
Here's the original post with all the poems for the first 5 series if you wanna check them out. :D
After watching Martyn's POVs of the life series and like the rhymes he has in the lore bits. I got thinking what if the Watchers spoke the t
Going with the "Grian is the one who designed this game as opposed to the others" headcanon, it makes you think about the superpowers he gave his friends, how they were all laughing and having fun in the beginning, and that was intentional. It goes to show that even when forced to design the death game his friends are put through (a punishment for trying to usurp the Watchers time and time again), he still cares. They all know he's the one who designed this game, and he hopes they realize the little mercies he's giving them.
He gives Cleo the power to bring people back from the dead, just so he can have a chance to see his best friend again.
He gives Pearl the power to fly, and hopes she appreciates having her wings back, if only for a short time.
Jimmy gets to go invisible because Grian knows the Watchers aren't happy with the curse being broken. He wants to protect him.
As for Martyn? Grian doesn't really know a lot about what's going on with him and the Listeners, but he might as well try to strengthen that connection in the little ways he can without arising suspicion.
He says it himself in the beginning, "let's not forget this is a PVP series," but it sounds hollow even to his own ears. It's pandering to the watching eyes, making them think the lighthearted fun is all unintentional.
He falls out of the sky with the wings he gave to Pearl, and he wonders if the Watchers are starting to catch on.
Omg I absolutely love this HC, I like to believe that in wild life Grain had been given a little more wiggle room with the things he can add in to make the game more interesting since the 6th season and he cant be repetitive. With the little freedom he has with adding more ways of "punishment" to the players he's trying to give them all the little mercies he can, kind of developing it into more of a game than a plain fighting arena.
They're all doomed to be there and he's doomed to make the games. He says "they aren't supposed to have fun" and ""this is a PvP series" simply because he has to to convince the watchers, he's not gonna stop them from indulging in the little but of fun he's able to give them though.
Life Series: Watchers Introduction from the players' pov? (Poems)
After watching Martyn's POVs of the life series and like the rhymes he has in the lore bits. I got thinking what if the Watchers spoke the the players at the start of the series to "explain the rules" of the game and stuff. So I wrote a poem for each season that is what I imagine the players would hear before spawning in. I put loads of like little hinty words and stuff for fun since the watchers like to be a little unclear with what they say sometimes.
3rd Life 3️⃣🚦
The game will begin
Three attempts at Life
Fourteen shall enter
Only one will survive
Do Green as you must
Weary Yellow what you can
Spill Red when you turn
Single victor, one man
Kill at your risk
Those failed will be gone
No matter what wins
Our will be done.
Last Life 🎰🚦
We had a taste before
Back in the winter
Lives not set as three
Three more players enter
Shades of green careless play
Yellow lurk off the edge
Roll of fate for curse of sickness
Spill joined by new of Red
A cure will found from shed of blood
Too a gift will unbare of one
Remains one victor in end
No matter what, Our will be done.
Double Life 💞🚦
Rules have changed
Fourteen players enter
Co-owned lifeline
A link drawn connector
Live not to pale
Wary burden shared
For every heart broken
An equal lost in pair
Redden after two
Third takes both runs
Fight final link remaining
Watch, Our will be done
Limited Life ⌛🚦
Now play thirteen
Life limited by hours
Prevail one at end
Enter this game higher powers
Dawn to dusk lifetime
Hearts ticking from green on
Pale yellow at sixteen
Eight kills to last long
Gains half with any shed
Wholes lost at every spawn
Three of hour cure is needed
Spectate as such, Our will be done.
Secret Life 📜🚦
This game join a Keeper
Now players sixteen
Rule of third, damaged hearts
Unhealable by any means
Wake, each tasked differently
Succeed if task completed
Not fail by dusk, or hard reroll
Ten taken if not kept secret
Hearts may break from Yellow guess
Friend or foe may aid of one
Crimson spill gain each an eXtra
Till last succession, Our will be done.
I haven't done one for Wild Life since its just come out but ill update this post with it once I've made it. Let me know what you think and if you find all the hidden bits. :)
Life Series Winners stained window-looking-pedestal things!
I absolutely adore the life series and I'm always seeing amazing art on Pinterest and Tumblr so with my limited skill I tried my hand at fanart and i think it turned out really nice!
Each one has little things that represent each winner both in how they won and just the series overall. I drew each of the celestial bodies that represent them instead of their heads/faces (def not cuz idk how to draw heads) and tried to convey as much as possible in just the poses, body language and background/sky).
I drew them traditionally on my sketchbook then did the line art and coloring on procreate so it took a while.
