“Two Birds On A Wire

“Two Birds On A Wire

“Two birds on a wire

One tries to fly away, and the other

Watches him close from that wire

He says he wants to as well, but he is a liar”

As evil as Darkstalker was, I think he deserved better. All he tried to do was protect Clearsight, Foeslayer, and Whiteout. Sure, he did it in some…i n t e r e s t i n g ways that were definitely not ok or even necessary , but maybe he could’ve been the savior everyone needed, if only Arctic had treated them better.

(I have read Darkstalker’s book about five times, btw. I’ve lost count at this point)

Song - Two Birds on a Wire by Regina Spektor

I have an idea.

It’s an Empires AU based on the version of the song The Dark-Eyed Sailor from The Dragon Prince by Atillion (link and lyrics below cut).

After the fall of Empires, the ocean’s collapse is slowly causing Jimmy and Lizzie to lose their souls, since they’re so attached to the water. They lose all memory of being Seablings and now all they want is power and control over what’s left of the ocean. Its fall has also torn them of almost all their powers, meaning that neither of them can breathe underwater anymore.

So they fight.

Even from the start, the battle is hopeless. Lizzie is infinitely more powerful than Jimmy and they both know that she will win.

Yet Jimmy still fights.

Lizzie ruthlessly attacks him, weakening him to the point where he can barely swim, yet he still fights, because only he should rule the ocean.

There are several points at which Jimmy almost drowns, but his need for power pushes him forward. He’s able to do a fair amount of damage to Lizzie, but it was never enough.

After hours of draws, Lizzie is able to hold him under the water with her trident. His last words when he is still above the surface are, “The sea shall bow to me!”

Jimmy, the codfather, brother of the ocean queen, has drowned.

Lizzie wins, as they both knew she always would.

But there is nothing more to rule, for her empire has fallen.

Woe to the man, the dark-eyed sailor

Ship's adrift and the sea's his jailor

Drag him down,

Down, down, down

Down in the wicked depths below

Lost at sea, the sailor cried

I will not drown, and I will not die

The ocean's rule I dare defy

The sea shall bow to me!

Woe to the man, the dark-eyed sailor

Ship's adrift and the sea's his jailor

Drag him down,

Down, down, down

Down in the wicked depths below

The fog pressed in, the ice did freeze

The sails caught nary a whisper'd breeze

But to his pride the sailor seized

The sea shall bow to me!

Woe to the man, the dark-eyed sailor

Ship's adrift and the sea's his jailor

Drag him down,

Down, down, down

Down in the wicked depths below

The ship it sank, its hull full tore

The sailor he could swim no more

But even as he drowned, he swore

The sea shall bow to me!

Woe to the man, the dark-eyed sailor

Ship's adrift and the sea's his jailor

Drag him down,

Down, down, down

Down to the depths

Drown in the depths

Drown in the wicked depths below

A dragon puppet I finished a couple nights ago! :D It is based on Gem’s red Secret Life skin because yes (more specifically, @lonksadventures’ version of it because I love that version)

So...Martyn's latest Misadventures episode, huh?? The FLASHBACKS I had.

Martyn's Misadventures episode "The Man of Many Guilds" (the latest one) spoilers ahead!

The fact that Sausage warned Martyn that his death was going to be painful, but this was what was needed for Martyn to have permission to kill people?

The way that Martyn stood crouched with his head bowed as Sausage killed him, and how his last words before Sausage hit him were "this feels familiar"?

Martyn was on the receiving end this time.

I'm going crazy.

Is it just me or does Ren's area in exile look like an aged, rotted version of Dogwarts...?

I nearly had a heart attack when I saw this reblog, I did not see the username only the picture and thought it was actually Jimmy 😭 my eyes visibly widened and my breathing stopped for a moment lol

From The Ashes

From the Ashes

Based on the hybrid ideas of @fifthhaemony! I love the idea of Jimmy as a phoenix so I had to draw him

Was I researching bird anatomy late at night for this? Yes. Do I have any regrets? Absolutely not

I have an idea that I wanted to share!

What if Oli (OrionSound) isn't part of the Life series because he's actually one of the Watchers controlling it? Before you dismiss it hear me out:

In Jim's series Border Hoarder, Oli is so impulsive and acts almost EXACTLY the way that I imagine Watchers when he gets mad. Most of the time he's just a chill little guy, but when he gets mad, oh boy does he get mad.

Border Hoarder spoilers under cut read at your own risk!

There will also be occasions where he seems to slip out of his mask of innocence and act like someone or something completely different. For example, that one time where he stared at Jimmy while he had his back turned and said, and I quote, "Only one of us is gonna make it out alive, and it's gonna be me." What Oli‽ This series doesn't have one set winner?? And he said it in such a tone like he knew it as a pure fact and with such hatred...ahhhhhh. And the fact that it was directed at Jimmy too is crazy (CaNaRy~)

And that one time that Joel got an item before Oli did and Oli got so angry that he just went and killed them all (meaning Joel, Lizzie, and Jimmy). Joel tried to speak but he was never given a chance. Lizzie was silent. Jimmy tried to hide and, the moment he thought he'd convinced Oli to spare him, Oli turned around and killed him too. Now take note they all respawn but yet, the moment Jimmy is dead, Oli yells, "I HAVE WON! I'VE FINALLY WON!"

So definitely something Watcher-like going on.

In addition, he also voices the snails and trivia bots in Wild Life - the two NPCs with the highest kill counts.

Also I think Border Hoarder needs more appreciation lore-wise. There's so much to work with.

Anyways thus concludes my Oli Watcher rant. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
