A Dragon Puppet I Finished A Couple Nights Ago! :D It Is Based On Gem’s Red Secret Life Skin Because

First post!

I'm brand new to Tumblr, so I'd like to briefly introduce myself! I'm Winter and am hoping to be posting some of my art on here soon! It will be mainly focused on Hermitcraft and the Life series, though there will be some others mixed in there as well. My main fandoms are Hermitcraft, Star Wars, HTTYD, The Magnus Archives, and Wings of Fire and my favorite music artists are The Crane Wives, Sparkbird, and Rabbitology. I'm so happy to be here and can't wait to see where this'll go. Take care of yourselves!

For those of you who have read Scythe by Neal Shusterman AND know the Life series, hear me out here:

Scar as a Scythe. The man so afraid to kill now the one sentenced to bring death to every. Single. Person.

And his final test would be to redo Third Life, same ending fight and everything, except this time, he wins.

I don't care who does it, I just need this to exist 😭

Some SL!Gem art I drew a while ago because I love her red skin

I realized halfway through drawing this that her yellow life skin doesn't have a cape but it was too late to turn back so I just went with it lol, I actually think it flows better with it

"Isn't this what you wanted?

Time sure feels like it's running out

Just finish what you started

Queen of nothing, wearing

Such a heavy crown"

(Song - Queen of Nothing by The Crane Wives)

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.

Whats your favorite crane wives album?? rn or in general

I was gonna ask fav song but that might be just too hard to pick lmao

Definitely TFIHWG, I love it SO much (I may or may not have every song in that album memorized-) (well that's the case for their entire discography soooo)

Favorite song...ummm, gotta be Canary in a Coal Mine or Here I Am

Or Back to the Ground

Or Once & for All

Or Easier

As you said it's hard to choose 😭

TYSM 😭😭 ahhh you have no idea how happy reading this made me thank you so so much (also I don't know how to comment on a reblog so uh..rereblog it is lol)

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)

Drew this quick thing based on @karmaandsin’s Grian poem :D

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.

Can we talk about how well most Crane Wives songs fit the Life series???

For example, Shallow River for DL!Pearl:

"May the whole sky fall/May it all come down/Wasted all for the title/Wasted all for the crown"

Little Soldiers for Dogwarts:

"I fought with tooth and nail before the flag had flown, but you were already gone"

Canary in a Coal Mine:

Do I even have to explain?

October for Scott and Jimmy:

"Come my dear and be a part of my home/Missing stitch and flowers on a headstone"

The Well for the Ranchers:

"That old house, those rotting memories, burned easier than I'd have thought"

Allies or Enemies for Desert Duo:

"Are we allies or enemies?/This will be the death of me, this will be the death of me/All is fair in love and war, but I can't fight with you anymore/This will be the death of me"

The Hand That Feeds for TL!Martyn:

Pretty self-explanatory

Once & for All for the Red King:

"Dodge bullets and fire spray, my blood's forever on your hands/When my ghost sings my battle cry, you'll be too sorry to dance"

And that's only a handful. It's terrifying how many more there are.

You should go check them out if you haven't already. I will drag you into this Crane Wives obsession with me and you will never escape. *cackles in nerd*
