I think it’s really interesting that the season where Skizz had some of the worst luck he’s ever had, is the same season where he made it his mission to spread positivity and kindness.
The second he started to introduce the idea to Scott in the first episode, Scott killed him before he could finish. And then Bdubs killed him DIRECTLY after. Specifically, he was slain by the boogeyman, the most direct force of the chaos of the Life Series.
The watchers are known to feed on chaos and suffering, so I wonder if they specifically targeted Skizz because he made it his mission to make everyone happier. Skizz has always died third. But this time, he died second. Arguably that’s as early as you can die if you’re not Jimmy.
And at the end of it all, did he go out trying to get more time? No, he gave up his last life so his team could continue. He did an excellent job of defying the nature of the games, even if he might have been taken out because of it.
the fact that, despite only being alive for 30 minutes of real time, jimmy is alive for the entire first half of grians episode. with the next 2 and a half hours making up the latter half. each half of the video being long enough to be a full episode on its own.
grian is extending how long jimmy appears to be alive in that session. soaking up every last moment he can of jimmys memory.
and the second half of the video being primarily of when joel was still alive, even if he wasn't by his side. and only a few minutes after to mourn him. not even staying for pearl and bigbs always watching ritual at the end.
the longest episode of his series. consisting of memories of friends. of times he will never get back.
my cool and epic headcanon is that Tango’s fire changes color depending on the biome just like actual fire in the nether. He then forgets to tell everyone about it, so his teammates are a little concerned why he’s blue-raspberry flavored all of the sudden.
In honor of the coming Life Series, I have uncovered some of my favorite scenes from the 1602 Shakespeare classic that inspired Limited Life. They're excerpted below the cut.
The Skizzleman Monologue (Act 1, Scene 2)
TIES, my friends, you all are brothers to me
I have known some of you for many moons
I pledge to you that I shall bring dignity
Not one among you are but lower goons
And yet I fear what the future shall bring
With our newly met neighbors all around
Mere hours away from the conquering
When our towers come crashing to the ground
And those cursèd Clockers come back for more
Good Etho, I know they remain thy kin
But alas I must ask you to bring war
So to my question I return again
My dear brothers, Etho, Tango, Impulse
I beg of you, stay past this next repose!
Act 2, Scene 4
Enter Scott and his attendant, Martyn
MARTYN: My liege and friend, my body craves small rest.
SCOTT: Nay, thou knave, now we must march and conquer.
MARTYN: But have we not been wand’ring this forest?
And have we not been lost, friendless? Hopeless?
SCOTT: Rest, my dear comrade. Trust that Jove will help.
MARTYN: But why is that so?
SCOTT: But why is what so?
MARTYN: Thou assumeth that thine gods will come.
But where are they? Where is Lady Juno?
What of fast Mercury? Call not for Jove,
For no aid shall come to us this evening.
SCOTT: And dost thou think that the Watchers will appear?
MARTYN: Moreso I think that the gods of Old Rome
Shall ne’er be seen upon this hollowed Earth.
SCOTT: But thou art wrong, my friend. Now, we must go.
Those Boys of Bad, thy own wicked cousins,
Do now seek an audience with our tribe.
Act 5, Scene 3
Enter Etho
ETHO: May a thousand curses befall my name,
Before I sacrifice this beviled game!
Oh, dear Skizzle, my poor and long-lost king,
I hope my shame ended thy suffering!
And what of my children, Scar and that pup,
Was my witch wife correct? Am I washed-up?
Enter Ghosts of Cleo, Scar, and BDubs
SCAR: Father, I come.
CLEO: Husband, I am near.
BDUBS: Dad!
ETHO: Oh, even now, their voices do me bad.
SCAR: I have not forgiven you for my death.
ETHO: Did you not begin the fall to your fate?
CLEO: If thou wished to be absent, visit not.
ETHO: I served both my king and my family!
BDUBS: If you felt your heart divided, choose one.
ETHO: Son, hear me now, if I could I’d choose none.
Exeunt Ghosts.
Enter Grian.
GRIAN: Etho, my friend, you loyal creature.
I gave you a sword, alliances feature.
ETHO: Call me not loyal, call me not ally,
I abandoned my fam’ly, I should die.
