Hermit Skizz confirmed… I may rest in peace (I will never know rest again)
special announcement!
okay, during the progression of secret life, gem has been receiving some very hurtful and unnecessary hate comments. now, that's just not right. we all need to do better to support our favorite CC's.
so, i was thinking of hosting a geminitay appreciation week, where we, as a community, contribute to daily art pieces of gem for this entire week! gem needs to know that , despite all the hate she's been getting, she still has a lot of supportive and loving viewers who enjoy her and her beautiful content!
please spread this around and anyone is free to join in if they have the time to do so! ❤︎
scar’s winner symbol has to be mercury, right??
Traditionally, it’s associated with trade, communication, and cleverness— all relevant to his arc this season
As for its physical place in the solar system, it’s right next to the Sun (I do not have to explain why this one is important)
SCAR WINNER SYMBOLISM??
PLUTO
MERCURY
EARTH
METEOR
OTHER !!! (leave it in the cmnts/rbs)
using the list by @/applepie1000 !!
Also shout out to Gem specifically! She fit so so so well into the Life Series, I really enjoy(ed) her unhinged cutesy murderous vibes so so much.
OKAY SO
There's going to be some debate in the coming days, so I'm going to put my opinion out here early.
Scar's symbol should be Mercury.
I have three main reasons why, and I think they're pretty good.
Anyone else's brain slowly deteriorating because they can't contain their insanity about waiting for the next life series? Or just me.
I have both MANY WORDS and no words to describe the insanity and brainrot it's like I've been put through a washer a dryer and a blender simultaneously
desperately need etho and bdubs to be the last ones standing in a life series because they would never kill each other willingly even in those circumstances but Bdubs Would and Has died for Etho and Etho's too much of a sruvivor to do the same and I need to see how that'd go
what the fuck is wrong with c!martyn
around the start of double life, i was chatting with my partner about the different soulmate pairs and doing some character analysis. at the time, i honestly didn’t know as much about martyn’s character as i thought i did! i’d absorbed a lot of stuff second-hand, but ended up watching his POV of third life for a fan project and now limited life as it came out - and one of the main things i realize i mischaracterized martyn as was loyal.
if martyn’s finale shows us anything, it’s that he’s not loyal. or, well- how do i say this.
“Unguided hand.”
martyn, as we all know, has a complex relationship with ren in any series they share, but most deeply in third life. but one thing i did not know until i watched his POV was that martyn was always intending to betray ren - it’s just that things went sour in the war and he never got the chance. he wanted to get to the final two and then stab ren in the back. but until then, he was a devout follower.
it’s similar in last life, although a bit different - where martyn wants to get to “the end” with all of his friends, but is willing to listen (haha) to the watchers and betray grian to do so. in this sense, he is not loyal - but he is still a devout follower, just to the watchers, up until his death when they finally reveal their hand.
and in double life, he chases cleo. he tries to win them over, to prove how devout he is. not loyal. devout. he wants to win. he plays nice with scott and pearl as much as needed until they’re the final ones, and then he turns on them in a heartbeat - despite cleo not wanting that, and him KNOWING she doesn’t want that. he is not loyal, but he is devout.
and this season. he allies with scott because scott is the only one willing to give him a chance after his disastrous interactions with pretty much everyone else, scott included. scott, who is not naive but is never hostile unprovoked, who had won the majority of the games at this point and never betrayed his allies. it makes perfect sense. and martyn is devout - SO devout. people hunt scott down again and again and martyn is always the one there to defend him - or, to be the one to get to him first. martyn is devout but he is not loyal. scott proposes a game within a game to determine the winner - but that’s not how this works. martyn knows this isn’t how it works because the watchers literally told him so. so, he kills scott. he betrays him, as he always intends to do, whether or not he gets the chance to fulfill that intention.
martyn is not loyal. martyn has never been loyal.
SPOILERS!!!!!
The Winners and their Victories
Grian, the one with wings, falls from a cliff.
Scott, a starborne, struck down by the heavens.
Pearl, the lone wolf, won through the sacrifice of her soulmate.
Martyn, the most loyal, takes victory through betrayal.
Ok but the tragedy that was the Clockers finale.
I know we got a nice ghosts family reunion at the end, but like—
Cleo trading away her skulk sensors for Scars life. The thing she spent nearly 5 episodes collecting, keeping in mind she was only alive for 8. She spent over half of her time alive on that server trying to get those sensors, and yet she willingly trades them away, not for her own life, but for Scars.
A trade that proves pointless in the end. It doesn’t save him.
Cleo, episode 1, telling her boys that she would let them kill her if they were ever the boogyman and they couldn’t find someone else VS Cleo episode 8, 3 hours left to live and STILL telling Bdubs to ask if he needs help, to let her know if he needs a life because even with only 3 hours left to live she is STILL willing to let him kill her for extra time.
A sacrifice she never gets to make because Bdubs is stubborn and reckless, and ultimately ends up dying in a battle that she started.
It’s the way that no matter how hard Cleo tries, it’s never enough. The way that she exhausts every last drop of her own energy into protecting her children - feeding them, clothing them, trying her best to keep them alive, and it’s Still. Never. Enough.
Cleo naming a clock, calling it “Momma’s Favourite Boy” and giving it to Bdubs. Bdubs, who had been made to feel like the inferior son from the start. No matter how often she declared Scar her favourite. No matter what she herself might have personally felt was true. Cleo giving him that clock not even a full 15 minutes before his final death. Bdubs dying with it tucked away in his pocket. One, singular golden clock inscribed with the one thing he had always wanted to hear - proof of his mothers love for him. A heartfelt gesture that comes almost too late to count. The only time she had ever told him, and now he’s gone.
Scars initial jealousy of the Clock. Him bitterly muttering that he thought him and Cleo had something special, and Cleo promising to give him one too when she gets another one. A promise she never gets to keep.
Scar’s reaction to his brothers death. The way the cannon fires and he just stops before silently turning to look at where he had expected Bdubs to be. The way he just silently walks over to where Bdubs had once stood only to find absolutely nothing there. The way Grian is still firing at him, but he doesn’t really seem to notice because he’s still in shock.
And Cleo. Cleo who never even gets to mourn the death of her child. The way she doesn’t even realize at first because her and Bdubs had died at exactly the same time, only she’d had more time than him. She doesn’t even know what’s happened until she’s hears Grian say it. And you can hear that initial shock in her voice for the duration of about 5 seconds, but she never gets to mourn because Grian is still firing at Scar. Scar, who can’t even pick himself up off the floor, who doesn’t even have a weapon in his hand as he just walks back and fourth over the spot where his brother had died as if expecting him to magically appear. The way Cleo casts herself between them, stepping in front of Grian and shielding Scar with her own body.
The way Grian stops firing the instant Cleo steps between them going “Don’t take Scar out of the game.” The way he drops his shield and books it. Cleo doesn’t even take a single swipe at him. She holds her sword up menacingly, creeping towards him, but she knows her primary purpose at this particular moment is in protecting Scar, and Grian knows it too, and yet he takes ONE look at Cleo and books it. He books it because when he looked at her, he didn’t see a mourning mother. He saw a violent and seething rage barely contained beneath the surface and he knows the ONLY thing keeping that rage in check is her love for her children. Her love for her child who he has just murdered, and the only thing preventing her from killing him for it is her love for her last remaining son who is still mourning the death of his brother.
The way Cleo never even gets to mourn him. Physically is not allowed to mourn because she is still a mother. She doesn’t get to be a person, doesn’t get to feel her pain because she’s a mother. Her son needs her, and he comes first. Because a mother is always a mother before anything else. She has to put her kids before herself because that’s what a mother does.
The fact that Cleo is the last Clocker standing. Has to live with the loss of both of her children and live with the knowledge that she wasn’t able to save them. Has to live with the knowledge that despite her best efforts, she was never able to save them. She was never enough. She never gets to give Scar that clock she promised him. The fact that Bdubs’ last words were about her, reassuring his brother, telling him not to worry because he knows Mom will save them. And she tries, but it’s still not enough. She isn’t able to save him, and she has to live with that.
The fact that one of the last things she tells Scar is that they are likely going to die together because they are close to the same time. Them dying on the same battlefield mere feet from each other less than a minute apart, and yet they never see each other. Cleo can hear him struggling in the background but can’t get to him because she’s firing at Pearl. She’s literally JUST stated that she only has 8 minutes left when she sees the lighting that belongs to Scar and runs straight for it, sees Grian, and dive bombs him. The fact that she doesn’t even say a single word. Just goes straight for him. The fact that it’s still not enough. She’s overpowered again and never gets to avenge the death of her children.
MY BOI IMPULSE CAME SO CLOSE! SO CLOSE! *sigh* I really thought this was going to be his season. But I' really happy Martyn won
HOLY SHIT MARTYN. YOU ALL AGREE TO A FIST FIGHT AND YOU WHIP OUT LAVA!?!?!?
...well played
oH MY GOD SCOTT AND MARTYN AND IMPULSE OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK
love is stored in the skizzleman
The more I think about it, the more I'm sure.
Whoever wins Limited Life will be assigned patron of Time, the series is just way too focused on the concept for it to be anything else.
Grian is Sun, Scott is Stars, Pearl is Moon, and this next winner will be Time, full stop.
Question is, what if it's a repeat winner?
Would we combine the themes? Like a Sun Dial, or Lunar Phases? Scott goes from Stars to Super Nova?
I need to be ready!
