Wooo

SEVEN DEADLY SINS

Pride - Grian

Gluttony - Scar

Wrath - Joel

Envy - Cleo

Sloth - Scott

Lust - Pearl

Greed - Martyn

Pride: Pride fits him for a few reasons, watcher lore and general character. By common watcher lore iterations he is an escapee of the watcher realm. His refusal to go with their schemes gives him this role. Unrelated to the watcher lore, he has never been one to go down without a fight. His 1v4 in secret life, the killing of bdubs when he and Scar betrayed him etc. He is a fighter, and he won't give up even when the odds are against him.

Gluttony: Scar has always been known for his terrible trades, seeming to never have enough. He's always opting for more and more, not caring what it'll take to get it. Even if it means screwing over his “friends”.

Wrath: In reference to my Life Series Curses post; his being the Bloodbath Curse; it fits his slow descent to madness and thirst for destruction as each season progresses.

Envy: Someone overlooked, being dubbed the “Fake Winner” by many. Envious of those considered as “real” winners.

Sloth: I considered pride for Scott but I think it fits Martyn more and sloth can be affiliated with the fact that he won by not doing what he was supposed to do as the boogeyman.

Lust: Each season, Pearl has been heartbroken or betrayed (I think I don't quite remember but I'm quite sure Scarlet Witch was born from her divorce from Scott) so I think it fits(?).

Greed: Greed for Martyn fits I think cause he's always thirsty for a win, for something to happen. He is careful with what he has and is a very tricky character.

Alternatives:

I actually thought of wrath for Martyn because of his naturally chaotic personality but I thought Pride suited him more because he refuses to go down without a fight. A proper one.

I thought that lust would suit scar a bit because of what he said when he won secret life, as well as his relationship with grian (desert duo I miss you pls come back TvT) but in general terms I think gluttony suits his overall character more.

Grian was very tricky since he could fit in with and wrath as well cause he can be petty when he wants to i.e. killing of Jimmy in wild life but settled on pride cause it's more general.

Pride can work with Martyn as well cause I think it would make sense for his win in limited life as he refused to go with the fair fist fight in favor of ensuring himself the win. But I think it suits grian more idk. I kinda just put him in greed cause I like which else to give him TvT.

I just found your stuff it's super cute <333 i love it :D You should have some hugs and cookies ╰(*°▽°*)╯

Thanksss *hugs*

This hurts more with grian saying "bigb treated me right" huhu

From Grian's Double Life pov, Scar's behavior in episode one feels like such a strong rejection I think.

(disclaimer that this is all speaking from grian's pov, not necessarily objective view on the situation.)

For starters we really do gloss over "Scar I think we're soulmates and you're too busy chasing fairies!" a lot. Grian very explicitly told Scar that he thinks they're soulmates (and in the same sentence is already expressing frustration with feeling like scar isn't paying attention or prioritizing grian's feelings like five minutes into them running into each other). Grian said it out loud. Scar heard him, which we know because Scar responded with "My real soulmate is flying away from me", which not only indicates Scar heard Grian, but also that he understood what Grian said on some level. And Scar walked away.

Grian has reason to feel rejected or devalued here. I mean, it seems like, from Grian's perspective, Scar thought whatever Grian was saying to him was so unimportant he instantly brushed Grian off and disregarded the conversation completely (despite grian being clearly distressed). Grian tried to express something extremely important, in a moment of obvious emotion, and he ended up feeling like Scar didn't care to listen, even when Grian said it plainly to Scar.

So then Scar and Grian go around the server, and Grian decides not to tell Scar yet (although to be fair grian already told him) and Scar..doesn't notice. They take damage multiple times while together but Scar never seems to notice when they do, or catch on to the fact that they're soulmates, even when practically everyone else they run into does in fact know, sometimes just from watching them take damage together. (oorp this was obviously for the bit, but from a character perspective i can't help but wonder if grian was 'testing' in a way, not trying to tell scar again because he's hoping scar will eventually care enough to notice himself)

And again, it's very easy for Grian to feel like Scar is rejecting or doesn't care about him. Grian feels like Scar isn't noticing him, like Scar doesn't even see him, because if Scar was paying attention, surely at some point he'd see something Grian sees as so obvious. I think this is an especially big blow to Grian specifically, because Grian often expresses love through fussing over people and making sure they're safe and healthy. So the fact that Scar apparently never once really looked at him specifically when either of them were in danger or taking damage was probably more hurtful for Grian than it would for many people.

Eventually Grian ends up going off on his own for a little bit, just to set up a little bit of a base and starting resources for them. Scar stops by, and Grian tries to tell him. "I have something to tell you!" Grian says. Scar waves him off and walks away. "I have something to tell you!" Grian calls again. Scar doesn't turn around.

Again, the running theme of Grian feeling like Scar isn't really noticing him. Another time where Grian tried to speak to Scar, to tell him they're soulmates no less, and Scar waves him off and walks away, like whatever Grian has to say isn't important, like it's something that can just be glossed over and disregarded.

And then Grian comes to Scar, marches over to Scar and his pandas, and tells Scar he has something important to tell him. Grian tells Scar to look at him, and drops dripstone on their heads. Scar isn't paying attention, laughing over the pandas. Grian presses- no, look, actually look this time!- and only after Grian demands Scar look at him can he drop another piece of dripstone on their heads and have Scar realize they're soulmates.

"Do we have to live together?" Scar asks almost immediately.

"It would be nice..."

Grian has to drag Scar to the base he's started.

And like. Obviously it isn't bad of Scar to not care about soulmates very much or to be distracted or unobservant. But all of this adds up to Grian, I think, feeling very deeply rejected, unheard, and devalued. Adds up to Grian getting this impression that Scar isn't interested in actively listening to him when he talks, or checking on him when they're in danger, or paying attention when something's important to Grian, or even just looking at him unless Grian begs him to. Which very naturally leads into Grian's arc of pulling back from Scar in following episodes.

So I've been getting into lifesteal recently and so far the most intriguing thing to me is the sheer difference of perspective on clownpierce.

So for starters to most players he is known as one of the most dangerous players in the smp. A cold and merciless killer, leading him to be villainized by most. He plays into these views very well but in stark contrast,

There's him with kaboodle. If you look at him through her eyes he's js a silly goofy man with a hint of murder. And we love him for it. Not to mention their dynamic is so sibling coded it's so fun. Very giving grian and jimmy where grian is clown without the whole murderous tendency and jimmy being kaboodle getting the brunt of their loving bullying.

With rekrap however, I saw his video on the soft locking with sand. Over there he was pictured as this very skilled yet short tempered man with a fragile ego. He held his grudge from the whole -5 hearts and killed rek after a bit.

In jumpers video summary of s5 he was seen to be a puzzle solver of sorts and actually shown care for the server. Working to help save it with the foundation.

I haven't seen him with Branzy however but I have heard from folks that his dynamic with him is equivalent to a yandere partner so that's interesting lmao.

Alright thanks for coming to my rambling quick session folks
