self sacrifice in the life series is a bit like that one joke about "if your partner writes you a sonnet, they love you. if they write you a hundred sonnets, they love writing sonnets". if your partner lets you kill him in a 1v1 at the end of a series right by the grave of your dead pet so that you may win the series, he loves you. if he repeatedly lets you kill him to slightly expand your lifespan and also sometimes he lets other people do it as well then he loves killing himself

day 5 — it will be fine
the quote is from nice life session 2, said by Ren :] (my jaw genuinely dropped, why do these quotes always come from MINECRAFT)
my very specific life series headcanon is that grian has cried exactly once, in the cactus ring, and then never again. no one's ever really noticed or thought anything about it until gem in past life, after pearl's passing, but she didn't comment on it. it really is worse for him though
I cannot count the number of times this has happened, maybe minecraft youtubers should stop playing pranks on each other and it’ll stop all this war and betrayal idk
last one standing
last one standing AGAIN
Note to all: This is about C!Grian not CC!Grian.
How many times are we going to watch a Life Series where Grian picks the person who he thinks is the weakest link on his team and devotes himself to mercilessly mocking them and screaming in their face when they don't do exactly what he wants them to do until we admit that this is a pattern of behavior? Life Series Grian is a control freak and mean about it. It's maybe less noticable when he's playing with more reckless players like Scar, where he genuinely has reason to question their behavior sometimes (not always, he still goes way overboard sometimes in Double Life) or less skilled players like Jimmy (God it's really obvious with Jimmy in Limited Life) or Skizz where there is some things to make fun of, but he will find something to make fun of even if they're someone genuinely competent and careful like Pearl. Because he needs someone on the team to mock so he can feel powerful and in control, its like a core part of his Life Series persona.
Literally the only time I can think of where he didn't do it is with Cleo and Etho. This is for a couple of reasons. The first being he was a late addition to the Roomies so he can't pretend he has any right to control them. And also probably because Cleo and Etho are both strong and confident individuals and knew the two of them would kick him out if he tried that shit on either of them. He has to pick someone who either won't even notice they're being mocked (Scar), will fight back in a way that he can just also mock (Skizz or Jimmy) or will mostly just take it and stay loyal anyways (Pearl).
Just this episode, he called her "too evil" when she even joked about stealing Etho's horse and then literally shouted over her when she tried to explain that she was only joking, then he made fun of her because she said literally two sentences to Tango and wanted to be his friend, then when she pointed out that she actually has been helping build the lighthouse and admitted it looked better last episode, he yelled "nooooo" like a petulant toddler (even though she was literally telling the truth. She has been helping build the lighthouse and the square hole and she did say it looked better the last few episodes). He's been treating her, who has frankly done nothing but follow his and Gem's lead, like a moody teenager who complains about everything when he does nothing but complain about HER. The only time he's spoken to her somewhat civilly all series was in session one when he was trying to hype her up to join his team and in this episode when he got to teach her something (because it meant he was in control and she had to do what he said)
It's why I hate watching him in the Life Series even when I like his other videos, because frankly the Life Series turns him into a smug bully.
if anyone knows what the Jimmy Ecosystem is, this fits exactly into it and i love it so much, because it plays into the idea that c!Grian was always the one getting bullied in his past (Yandere High School) and now he always makes sure there is someone at the bottom of the ladder that isn't him (namely Jimmy, but also, as this post points out, also Skizz, Scar, and now to an extent Pearl)
it's also so crazy to me because he literally sought out Pearl as one of the best and now he's bullying her 😭 like okay dude
(but despite this i would like to point out that he does still deeply care about the others, it doesnt mean he hates them and he's evil, it's called having a flaw and being a little cruel like every other human being ever)
My brothers keeper.
okay but can we talk about the fact that tango keeps getting possessed
and that, when mumbo had control of tango's body, and ren was mining with his pickaxe nearby, tango's body started moving too
like ren still had control of it
someone should probably tell grian that the new robot at mumbo's base is scar's kid
could u draw more Eepy mumscarian
Yah <3
thinking once again about how Martyn and Grian were such perfect foils in third life without even trying. Literally beat for beat, they were perfect opposite mirrors of each other
Both ended up in a role serving someone else. Grian unwillingly due to an accident. Martyn happily due to his own choice
Both stayed in their respective right-hand-man roles for the entire season. Grian viewed his situation as an unhappy one and was looking forward to leaving Scar, but still acted as his loyal ally the whole time. Martyn viewed his situation as perfectly acceptable and beneficial, but still planned to betray Ren at some point
Grian never meant to betray Scar, but ended up killing him. Martyn meant to betray Ren, but ended up dying by his side instead
Like you really couldn’t have written it better
I know Dogwarts is often seen as a super loyal and unified group in fanon, but from a recent rewatch of Third Life, this is honestly my read on Dogwarts as a group.
this but it's Scar @ Grian do you understand my vision
okay but listen
[Every day I'd walk in and, there was my fresh hand man, A smile of guidance, eyes of alliance, tangled and wired to his little goliath, conveniently deft, a sharp mind, but somehow a few steps behind, I wouldn't'a gived him all of my wisdom, had I known someday---] I'm sorry, right hand man, eyes of alliance? That is PEAK 3rd Life Desert Duo. just imagine Scar heading back to their base, seeing Grian there to greet him, happy and scheming, the two of them working together, with a Grian just a "few steps behind" (not 100% on the alliance at first but, in the end, he's there, by Scar's side, until---)
[he'd scram and I'd miss him!] Suddenly it's Last Life. Everything before was just a flashback to another time. Grian's stolen Scar's life and run off with it, leaving him alone.
[look at me sulk again! weren't you supposed to last forever? guess I just loose myself, I can't adapt to my successors, oh, not on my own, without your phone, that lead to a void...! I was being toyed with by flamboyance, as always, but it felt so good when you'd humor me...] Scar's sad, he'd thought their alliance would last forever, but it's a new game, but his alliance with Joel fell through (can't adapt to his successors) and he's alone again. But, I mean, Grian does come and talk to him sometimes, except it's always for some kind of deal, like him and Mumbo trying to get crystals or lives out of him by threatening "his" horse or locking him in an obsidian box.
["wasn't he just a riot! maybe a tad reliant,"] Now it's Double Life, and Grian is talking about Scar to the other players.
[but how could I blame him? I was the same since everything counted on someone I'd die with---] Scar pretends not to hear how Grian speaks about him, working on his panda sanctuary alone, only for them both to die abruptly from their soulbound.
[perhaps the sweet talk kept on, and you promised that you'd let on, ya finally let go, all coy and sincere, oh,] Limited Life, and Grian is agreeing to have the Bad Boys be allowed to the Clockers, promising an alliance between them once again, except...
[that dazzling night, in the back of the 'Dero] ...Grian kills him, genuinely stabs him in the back, taking his final life despite their alliance.
[here I go crying again! you were supposed to make me better! must be for old times' sake, how you're pulling my antennae, even now! without even holding me, a fool I must've been, to think you'd complete me, by speaking so utterly cheaply, it just felt so good (felt so good, felt so good---)] Scar screaming and crying his heart out, angry and upset. He can't understand why he keeps being betrayed like this, why it can't just be 3rd Life again. He reflects on everything in the past---Grian cheating on him with BigB, Grian stealing his life in Last Life---and, finally, Grian killing him in the final battle of 3rd Life, except that time it felt so good, felt so good---
[ad break]
[all I have left of you only exists inside a cabinet, if i could just look you in the rosy-tinted glasses, I...] Secret Life, but it's already ended, and Scar's already won. He runs his hand along his sunflowers, staring longingly at the suspiciously-Grian-shaped shadow.
[I don't know what I'd tell you, All I remember is---] Wild Life begins.
[---your showstopper smile, how you turned the dial, "don't you just love TV?"] Grian releases the first Wild Card.
[I love TV...! That lasted me for a long while! How can I face myself, somebody tell me how I'm doing, (the show goes on), tell me how good I am, or break that I'm beyond improving, (the show goes on), GOSH forbid!] Scar playing Wild Life a lot more confidently than perhaps he should---his Bamboozlers tell him how good he is, while on the inside, he feels rotten. He lets Jimmy kill Grian and Mumbo, and kills Grian himself, feeling satisfied as it happens.
[you really left me hung out to dry, "you traitorous thing!"] Grian yells at him at the reputation board after blowing it up, but Scar can only smirk back at him, oh, how the tables have turned?
[and yet I still dream of the glory days, think of before this when all that I valued was---] as Grian storms off, Scar can't help but remember, can't help but wish. And then, something seems to switch.
[---your embrace (the show goes on)] Grian offers an alliance in forgiveness for trapping him with his snail, and Scar can't help but be stunned. [(the show goes on, the show goes on, the show goes on)]
[oh, what did we have? there's always a catch to this type of thing...] Scar gets angry---he knows this game. He's played it before. He knows Grian will betray him in the end. And yet...
[but the show goes on (the show goes on, the show goes on, the show goes on, the show goes on)] He plays it anyway.
this but it's Scar @ Grian do you understand my vision
my fav watcher Grian hc is that he uses his powers for the most mundane things like finding something/someone
I just feel like Scott is the kind of guy who is so committed to diplomacy and making the most of things that whenever it comes to Big betrayals or irreconcilable disagreements with teammates he'll just bite his tongue, go "<3<3<3 :)", and internally seethe, bottling it up forever and ever aside from maybe occasional snarky comments. Like how Martyn betrayed and murdered him and Scott went "I wouldn't have it any other way <3" because he didn't want to end things on a negative note meanwhile he's been seething over it for seasons and will occasionally say shit like "I mean (killing scott quickly) is what you usually do! Every other time you've killed me it's been quick! And abrupt! And unexpected!" to Martyn with so much out of nowhere audible venom and then just somehow instantly go back to repressing again and acting like everything is chill and fine and great. Because Scott is committed to being chill and optimistic and adaptable and finding the silver lining in everything.
imagine if mumbo would just randomly feel these phantom pains and start loosing his hearts during season 9 and he couldn't understand why
turns out
if you steal a soul
and that soul gets a soulmate
you also feel their soulmate's pain
