Hopping On The Alliance Trend, I Just Thinks These Would Be So Interesting (Specifically Joel, Scott,

Illustrations for my fic, Oh, brother!, in which Gem visits her brother Etho for the first time in a while. Oh, and she's also meeting his new partner, and doesn't quite know how to feel about that.

Or, a look at Gem and Etho through the years.

It’s fine lol

I cannot sarcasm. Is this real?

Here's to the autistics who are "way too aggressive". Here's to the autistics who get angry easily. Here's to the autistics who are impulsive. Here's to the autistics who have destructive meltdowns. Here's to the autistics who's anger ruins friendships/relationships. Here's to the autistics who can't control their emotions. Here's to the autistics who are bitter and mad. I see you, I love you (platonically), and I hope you have a great day.

i was going to do a rant about this before seeing this tweet but imma just leave this here

It really really frustrates me when some people, disabled or not, say "well I can do [x thing] because I was forced to" in response to someone saying they can't do something.

"Well I had to eat whatever was for dinner or else I would have starved."

Me too! And I became severely malnourished because I could not eat what was put in front of me.

"My parents hit me if I didn't get good grades so I had to."

Mine too! Except I could not get good grades in a mainstream class no matter how hard I tried or what was at stake.

"I have to mask because I need to keep my job."

Me too! Except I can't even pass an interview because of my limited ability to mask.

"I can't have meltdowns around other people or else I'll be bullied/abused/mocked."

Same here! But I can't hold in my meltdowns.

You need to understand that some people will never be able to do the things you can, no matter how hard they're pushed or what the consequences are for not doing it. I'm really sorry that you were forced to talk, but someone else being unable to speak does not mean that they could if there was enough pressure. Stop assuming that everyone who doesn't mask/speak/etc. grew up in a safe and supportive environment. There are people who would (and do!) die because they're neglected and can't learn to just do things themselves.

I really don't want to be the "other people have it worse" guy or come across like I don't think people are allowed to complain about something just because it's less extreme than someone else's situation, but some of you need to have more compassion for people who are not like you. Just be kind. And if someone says they can't do something, don't assume that it's because they were coddled or whatever.

Oh crap wrong blog.

Just pretend I sent it from here.

@tsippi I have a surprise tomorrow /mischievous

"Scott and Jimmy are divorced-" actually Scott was widowed.

Which is very nitpicky, obviously, because. They're both currently alive and also no longer married. So divorced is a pretty fitting term.

But I think it's been so long since Thirdlife that we too easily forget when Scott was widowed.

Coming home to silence, to an empty house that was usually full of banter and laughter. He finds the cake he made Jimmy earlier that day, something he pranked Jimmy with, something they laughed about. It would stay uneaten now. He holds the Pufferish of Peace, a silly little misspelling that was just so Jimmy, one of the last things to remind Scott of him. It's quiet.

The rest of Scott's life was pretty short and miserable. He lost all his lives in pretty quick succession and the whole time after Jimmy died he was "dazed" as Bdubs put it. More violent and reckless than he'd been before (hadn't scott been the one to warn jimmy not to antagonize or get himself in trouble?), more dulled and unfocused than before. And then he died alone.

I think it's important to remember that Scott was widowed, not divorced. Losing Jimmy wasn't a mutual decision, or even something Jimmy asked for. It was sudden and violent and unfair. It broke Scott for the rest of the season. And Scott didn't even get to process it, really, living a short and miserable life and then being thrown into the next season where he was told nothing from before matters.

But it does matter. It festers and hurts and smothers. Not always, and it seems to get less as the seasons go on (or maybe scott just gets better at hiding how much love and grief buries him every time he sees someone he once called a partner), but when there are moments where Scott brings up their marriage, whether he's trying to get Jimmy's attention or being petty toward Jimmy, I feel like we don't analyze it enough through the lens of Scott as a widow.

Double Life if everyone only had two lives*.

(*two lives instead of one because when I tried with the soulbound everyone died too early for anything interesting to happen)

Tango still dies in the cave, he and Jimmy are at one life almost immediately... Ranchers still happen making Flower Ranchers complete. (Reference to my version of Last Life)

Etho and Joel also die soon to the enderman, they are also left with one life.

Scott is a strategist first, abandoning Pearl is strategically viable with three lives but with only two It's a bigger risk, a risk he doesn't take... He lets Pearl base with him and Cleo.

Cleo is much more likely to put her own enjoying her time over strategy so she stills ditches Martyn at first... Martyn considers Pearl going with Cleo and Scott to be a betrayal.

Ren and BigB are still visited by Pearl...though the situation is different they still likely die because of the enderman and still kick out Pearl for bringing death to them.

Martyn still maths wrong and pushes Cleo to her death, Cleo being Pearls teammate in this timeline makes the wedge between Pearl and Martyn deeper.

BigB still jumps in front of a creeper causing him and Ren to be the first and second players to be out of the game permanently.

Etho and Joel truly believed they wouldn't die during the fishing rod accident so they still go trough it in this timeline and still die. They are out of the game, Joel is third out while Etho is fourth out.

Etho and Joel are out and never kill Pearl for stealing their stuff, she keeps her two lifes.

Impulse is still mobbed by mobs and dies bringing himself and Bdubs to one life left.

Tango still releases a Warden, because of course he does... Pearl is much less happy about it in this timeline.

Now everyone but 4 has one life left and this where things get interesting, Grian and Scar in this timeline are both much less threatening with Scar having been out first in Third Life and Grian in Last Life... On the other hand Scott and Pearl are both winners in this timeline so they become the main target instead meaning Scar and Grian never get stuck in a tower with the ranchers meaning the ranchers don't die yet... Also Grian and Scar never have to sneak around underground meaning Scar doesn't fall into the sea of zombies so they also don't die yet.

Moreover Scott and Pearl are likely better at evading the others which added to Joel and Etho not being in the game means they probably manage to survive the session too.

Ren and BigB are dead meaning they can't kill Bdubs and Impulse, they stay at one life.

Jimmy still gets killed by the enderman, the ranchers are out of the game. Jimmy is the fifth player out and Tango is the sixth.

Etho and Joel aren't there to put the tnt trap that in our Double Life Scar died to...so Scar and Grian avoid yet another death.

Etho and Joel are also not there to kill Scott so Scott and Pearl also avoid another death.

Scar still kills Martyn and Cleo in the deep dark putting them out of the game seventh and eighth

Grian still dies to the warden, putting Scar and himself to their last lives.

At the end 3 soulbound couples remain: Bdubs and Impulse, Grian and Scar and Pearl and Scott.

Bdubs and Impulse are kilked first becoming the ninth and tenth players to loose their last lives.

Scott and Pearl are both winners who have showed little to no interest in winning again, so here when they both have already won in the end they let Scar and Grian be the finalists.

In the end only Scar and Grian remain, no secret soulmates, no betrayals in the last stretch... despite wether Scar trows the fight or not Grian is more likely to come out on top.

The Sun is crowned the winner of Double Life.

(Third Life)

(Last Life.)

(Limited Life)

Idk I just noticed this immediately. Also, THE TRAUMA BIT, NOT THE ONION BIT
