realizing I missed one of my mutuals' posts so now I feel like a deadbeat mutual
Quick question for no particular reason, but how do I commit Tumblr voter fraud?
Food for thought
This is how the golden age of piracy ended.
Idk I just noticed this immediately. Also, THE TRAUMA BIT, NOT THE ONION BIT
As someone who is deeply in denial a cis person, I can’t say I know what you’re going through, but please just know that I am just a single message away and am always there for you, no matter what. Don’t feel obligated to or not to reach out to me, just know that it is always an option, and I will always have time for you, no matter what.
My mom is generally super supportive of my being transgender, but a few weeks after I came out, she mentioned how all of my close friends were women. This made me super uncomfortable because they. Are. My. Friends. And my gender shouldn’t change who I’m friends with and also she followed it up with saying that this caused her to doubt whether or not I was really transgender. Like, okay I’m a guy now and I’m allergic to women and I can never speak to my closest friends very again and I can only hang out with bro men who have no personality outside of being sporty assholes. Great idea. Also, two of my three friends my mom was referring to, little did she know, were nonbinary. Don’t get me wrong, I love my mom and she hasn’t brought it up since but this still plagues me to this day. Whenever I make a new female friend, I’m scared as SHIT to tell my mom and I usually exaggerate the amount of time I spend with male friends. I don’t hold it against her, it just fucked me up on accident.
my favourite headcanon when dealing with whatever the hell mcyt’s names are is that everyone just has a fucking universe assigned string of characters (the username) which everyone knows and is what the universe calls you by, but serves no actual functional purpose by itself
in society, the username is used as the legal name because its convenient - at any given point a username is unique to one person and you can easily identify someone by username
but obviously, the username is random and as a casual name it may not work - “Grian” is a fine name but “BdoubleO100” is a nightmare to say, so people develop nicknames based off these. some people go as far to have nicknames completely divorced from their username - e.g. “Jimmy” for “SolidarityGaming”
usernames probably bring up a lot of questions. they seem random, not affected by environmental or genetic factors in any discernible way. they’re more likely to contain words - or things that are kind of like words - than a truly random string of letters. I imagine there being a lot of meaning ascribed to them - like certain numbers symbolising certain things or certain words detailing something for your future. example: people with “7” in their name are more serious (supposedly. it’s kind of equivalent to our zodiac signs. belief varies)
I like to think about all the implications of this naming system. xB off-handedly said that Joel’s username is “SmallishBeans” so he’ll only be calling him “Beans” and not “Joel”, does this imply that some people believe your nickname must be derived by your username and consider nicknames that aren’t illegitimate? what about people that want to change their username? there’d be less name changes than our world (since names aren’t family or gender related) but it’s certainly possible (as you change the username of your minecraft account), but is there a stigma against it? rejecting the very name the universe gave you? are “rare” names (such as with small character count or palindrome etc) considered lucky or unusual?
(using the term “nickname” for ease of understanding because that’s our closest equivalent but in-universe this isn’t really what they are. better term “casual name”? “nickname” implies it isn’t your real name or is a cute shortening, whilst this would definitely be considered your name, just one of two types)
i just have… thoughts.
(*it was this or everyone having 8 hours and this was the most interesting of the options: Everyone still has 24 hours but dying loses 3 Instead of 1... Killing rewards are also tripled)
Everyone starts with 24 hours, with all the previous series having only one life (Or two) so the green yellow red life system is implemented for the first time ever.
Scott still kills Skizz, so does Bdubs. Scott and Bdubs both gain 3 hours and Skizz loses 12 hours bringing him to yellow almost immediately.
Jimmy and Joel still die to lava, Scar still falls down a hill and dies and Cleo still gets exploded by a creeper. They all lose 3 hours.
Impulse and Skizz still die to the creeper losing 3 hours each.
Martyn still boogey kills BigB gaining 3 hours and making Bigb lose 6... He also still dies soon after voiding the gain.
At the end of the first session: Scott and Bdubs are at 24:30. Scar, Impulse, Cleo, Jimmy and Joel are at 18:30. BigB is at 15:30 putting him in yellow. Skizz is at 6:30 putting him in red. Everyone else is at 21:30 much like in our timeline.
Joel, Jimmy and Grian still die to vex while raiding the mansion. They lose 3 hours each.
Joel still boogey kills Scar and Cleo though only Scars death counts as a boogey kill. Scar loses 6 hours, Cleo loses 3 and Joel gains 4 hours and 30 minutes.
Skizz still gets revenge on Bdubs so he gains 1:30 while Bdubs loses 3 hours.
At the end of session 2: Scott is at 22:30. Bdubs, Etho, Tango, Pearl and Martyn are at 19:30. Impulse and Grian are at 16:30. Joel is at 16:00. Cleo, BigB and Jimmy are at 13:30. Scar is at 10:30. Skizz is at 5:00.
Skizz still falls to his death in the skynet losing 3 hours.
Since both Jimmy and Scar are between 8 and 16 hours Scar can't kill Jimmy.
Scar can still kill Pearl which means Joel illegaly killing him immediately after still happens... Which of course means joel still fails his water bucket clutch.
Martyn still gets creepered costing him two lives and Impulse still boogey kills Pearl.
Early in the session Grian turns yellow which means Scar is robbed of the opportunity to do his triple kill. L.
Joel killing Martyn also can't happen with them both being yellow by that point of the session which means Martyn also never places the pufferfish that kills Grian.
Etho still gets destroyed by a creeper.
Without any kills Skizz runs out of time before the end of the session and is the first player out of the game.
By the end of session 3: Scott is at 20:00. Bdubs, Impulse and Tango are at 17:00. Martyn, Grian and Etho are at 14:00. Cleo, BigB and Jimmy are at 11:00. Joel is at 10:30. Pearl is at 8:00. Scar is at 5:00. Skizz is out.
Joel still accidentally kills Cleo and later purposely killing Tango.
Scott still lets Cleo kill him.
In this timeline Etho never kills Joel as he has more time then him, boat boys divorce never happens.
Tango still boogey kills Martyn to get rid of the curse and Grian still falls to his death.
By the time Martyn would have killed Bdubs they both would be yellow making that kill unlikely to happen.
Martyn still accidentally kills Scar (which is why certain kills still happen even if both parties are yellow.
Grian never does his triple kill as his target (Impulse) is already yellow at this point.
BigB still dies to the trap at his base.
Scott doesn't have to die as he naturally goes to yellow, same for Tango.
Pearl still dies to a creeper and Joel still falls from a ladder.
Scar runs out of time, he's the second player out.
At the end of session 4: Scott, Tango, Impulse and Bdubs are at 15:00. Etho is at 12:00. Jimmy and Grian are at 9:00. Cleo is at 7:30. Joel is at 7:00. Martyn and BigB are at 6:00. Pearl is at 3:00. Scar and Skizz are out.
Now this the story starts deviating more, in our timeline session 5 was a peaceful one with everyone being yellow... however with the changes made Cleo, Joel, Martyn, BigB and Pearl are all red lives so I doubt It's as peaceful.
Firstly Tango still kills Bdubs as a boogeyman and Joel still dies to a creeper. Bdubs also still dies to Etho's tnt catch game.
Skizz never gets to push Martyn to his death as Skizz is out of the game.
With Pearl and BigB so close to death It's unlikely they do nothing, I can see them trying to targeting Jimmy or Bdubs. With Bdubs dying so much earlier he goes to red meaning Jimmy is the victim, possibly when isolated. I doubt Jimmy can defeat Pearl so Pearl ends up killing Jimmy.
Session 5 ends with: Tango at 16:00. Scott and Impulse at 13:00. Etho is at 10:00. Grian is at 7:00. Cleo at 5:30. Bdubs, Martyn, BigB and Jimmy are at 4:00. Pearl at 2:30. Joel at 2:00. Scar and Skizz are out.
Joel and Jimmy still fail their bucket clutch, Joel is out of the game and Jimmy and Grian are the last bad boys left.
Pearl can't be the boogieman as she's red so It's *rolls random generator* Etho.
Grian also still pushes the button killing permanently both Jimmy and Pearl (Lizzie). The fandom makes it much more tragic then it is. (He also gets time as he's red)
Many death related to the bad boys never happen as only Grian is left.
Scar never kills Etho but Etho still dies to his own trap so.
Pearl never boogie kills Grian.
Cleo (Gem) still kills Etho but I doubt she does so twice like in canon. Martyn still drops tnt on Impulse.
Tango still dies when escaping from Grian (which was counted as a kill) and is later still killed by Martyn twice only to get killed by a skeleton.
Etho doesn't get a boogey kill but he also doesn't need to as he goes red during the session.
By the end of session 6: Scott is at 11:00. Grian is at 9:30. Impulse is at 8:00. Cleo and Martyn are at 5:00. Tango, Bdubs, BigB and Etho are at 2:00. Jimmy, Pearl, Joel, Scar and Skizz are out.
I can see Cleo and the mean gills working together. I can see Grian and BigB doing the same.
When it comes to the boogieman... Joel can't be boogeyman and since there can't be scaling...*rolls random generator* Scott.
Since The Bad Boys are gone Grian never climbs and then fall from the ladders.
Scott can't ask Scar to kill him to remove the target on his back so I think he just asks Etho directly... He doesn't have to ask anyone else since this puts him on red.
Even without the bad boys Grian gets desperate and kills Etho getting killed by Scott in the process. Unlike our timeline this is a boogie kill.
Grian still drops tnt on Impulse, Scott, Tango and Etho. Tango and Etho are out of the game.
Impulse still dies to the enderpearl and later later killed by Scott who doesn't particularly want to risk being a target again and likely has someone else kill him... likely Martyn. Impulse is out of the game.
Cleo and Bdubs are then killed by tnt dropped by Grian and run out of time.
BigB runs out of time.
Session 7 ends with: Grian at 8:30. Scott at 7:30. Martyn at 4:30. BigB, Bdubs, Cleo, Impulse, Etho, Tango, Jimmy, Pearl, Joel, Scar and Skizz are out.
With 3 players left Martyn surprises everyone and takes the others out, Scott lets himself be killed and Grian is not good at dealing with unexpected danger. Scott is third, Grian is second.
And Limited Life will always be won by Mars.

I know Canary in a Coal Mine is a song people associate with Jimmy a lot, but like, putting aside the canary symbolism for a second, that song is also super Scott coded, right?
Every long Frostembers/Snowbugs fic looks like this
