Arguably The Best Image On My Phone

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.

These are some drawings I’ve made over the past few months of songs as dragons! Most of their colors are based off their album covers, but if not, then they’re based off of the color/vibe they give. Originally I was going to post these one per day but I don’t have the patience for that so…here you go

I drew Emilee Petersmark of The Crane Wives :D

I can’t find the reference picture I used so sorry 😭

This was my first time trying to draw anything even mildly realistic and it actually came out well! (It is a picture from my sketchbook so it’s not the best image quality)

(Yes, the color’s off on the bottom left. I had to scribble out my signature because ✨ online safety ✨)

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

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

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 😭

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)

Theatre tips!!

Just some helpful theatre tips from one theatre person to another to help you along your theatre journey :D

Line set, stage, and large props with glow tape! This is very important to keep your cast and crew safe during blackout. The best way to charge them is to move a flashlight back and forth on the tape, it only takes a few seconds.

If you're working backstage, make a list of scenes in order, what props/set pieces are involved, and who's moving them - this helps SO MUCH during dress rehearsals.

Have a crew meeting every rehearsal if possible to help keep communication up. This includes EVERYONE in crew (props, lights, sound, set, costumes, etc.)

Don't give up if you don't get a part you auditioned for! There are still so many ways to be involved and just because you did not get a role does not mean you can't act. Keep going.

You don't have to have any experience in technical theatre to join stage crew! You will learn very quickly and your directors will help you with anything.

Don't be afraid to be bossy, especially if you're in a leading position! You can have fun but you also need to keep things in line.

It is ok to be yourself. Don't let others define you.

Although you don't have to, try your best to learn as many names as you can. Even if that means referring to them as their role name. They will respond to it, lol. (I have started responding to "costumes")

IT IS OK TO CRY. Theatre means struggle. It means emotions and goodbyes. But it also means fulfillment and finding your people. It is ok to cry. <3

The sound goblins must have batteries for the microphones. Or else the sound goblins cannot do sound goblin things and people will be sad but they will be sad quietly. We want them to be sad loudly.

Feel free to add any more!

Kind of strange how the season Martyn won was the only season Ren was not in.

Did Ren see his win coming and manipulate the Watchers into letting him stay away, only to reward Martyn his crown at the end?

I dunno, I just feel like there's something to that.

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