After ALL this time... I finally have it!

Please may I welcome you to the OFFICIAL full design for Polly/Jarvis!

This is the most fun I've had doing a digital piece since making Lars! You have no idea how happy I am with this!!!

Some closeups of my favourite parts, there's so many 'cause they're all SO GOOD

They're definitely the most elaborate Spirit design, and for the Octopod itself that's very very fitting!

I might make a simplified version that mostly affects the coral/whisp because that would be the most difficult part to recreate exactly...

I can't stop looking at him. This is the absolute best I'm ever gonna draw this incredible entity :)

Alright yeah fuck it. If you dont have characters that will be beloved by the people who read it then the stories dont last long in a fandom or sometimes even have an impact on people. Fuck the premise fuck the storyline fuck your worldbuilding becuase Ive seen so many, MANY, stories that are great have no one else to talk about simply because the characters were either too little screentime or none at all to be explored.

And now more than ever more people will define their liking of a story to whenever or not the characters are solid on their own instead of everything else. Its why much of the retellings or the same genre tropes are played out over and over again instead of new things compromising around the same idea.

And its not bad, but its also dumb for someone to go ahead and call another work of art, of whatever kind but im mostly talking about stories here, as a 'lesser work' simply because theres no characters that fit into neat molds or are hot and you can quickly get attached to, completely ignoring everything else about what it is and just deciding everyone who likes it has horrible tastes.

OK not to go on more rambles because I can’t stand seeing people who disagree with me, but I just want to get one thing off my chest about the fandom argument against watcher lore.

I often hear that watcher lore “takes over all the theorizing in the fandom” and I just. Genuinely have no idea what other types of theories are SUPPOSED to exist??? In the life series fandom???

I decided that I don’t want long rambles here so I’ll leave the rest under the cut

Like, my best guess is predictions, for who will die and what the next gimmick might be, etc. but watcher lore never overshadows those conversations, and they’re much better being called “predictions” than “theories”.

Then there’s character analysis, which SOMETIMES people will throw watcher lore into (note: if someone explicitly states that they are talking about their watcher lore related headcanons for a character then you have no reason to complain that their analysis has watchers in it). But once again, and even more so this time, I wouldn’t call that a theory? It’s a character analysis. And unless it’s about Grian they will very rarely mention watchers anyway (unless again it’s a post dedicated to the watcher lore and op’s ideas for that). And Grian is one of the most popular characters so there’s plenty of other posts about him you could look at instead lol. He’s got all KINDS of fans.

Then there’s just general discussion of the life series which IS NOT TAKEN OVER BY WATCHER LORE. Bro I see SO many discussions about life series lore that has NOTHING to do with watchers (or just has a one off line about them). Idk why people act like the fandom is too obsessed with watcher lore to talk about events within the series when we literally DO talk about them lol. If we only cared about watchers we’d be the EVO fandom not life series 😭

My next best guess is the most ridiculous one to me. Are the theories that watcher lore is overshadowing… theories about why the games exist and why these people are in them? SOMETHING THAT… ONLY ONE OF THE CCs HAS GIVEN ANY SORT OF CLUES TO?? The ONLY CC who has gone “hey life series fandom! Here’s some things for you to make theories on!” MARTYN IN THY LITTLE WOOD??? LITERALLY THE ONLY GUY WHO IS ACTUALLY INTENTIONALLY GIVING THE FANDOM SOMETHING TO MAKE THEORIES ON. AND IT’S THE WATCHER LORE THAT IS “taking over the theorizing space” I DON’T KNOW HOW TO TELL YOU THAT IT IS GENUINELY THE ONLY THING TO THEORIZE ON THAT HAS ACTUAL GROUNDS. I’m sorry that your little ideas are ACTUALLY the fanon and not the watcher lore that is called fanon WAY more than it should be.

If you want to speculate on explanations for the death games that don’t involve watchers, go on ahead! But I don’t see why the people taking what one of the CCs has given us as an explanation are a problem?

Like I’m genuinely so confused. “Watcher lore takes over all the theories in the fandom” my guy Martyn “Watcher Lore” LittleWood is the only person giving the fandom theory material. If this is really such a problem for you then why don’t you beg the other CCs to sprinkle some lore for you to theorize on.

Anyways my next best guess is headcanons. But it’s like bro who cares about someone’s headcanons. Leave people having fun alone. It’s not even really theorizing. What is going on in this fandom anymore it’s just “hate on Martyn’s hard work for no reason except I hate the fandom” everywhere.

PEOPLE ARE STILL HAVING MY BEYBURST POSTS FROM 2022 ON THEIR FEED ?????

This is very off topic but- i thought you would appreciate the fact that i'm going to write about the classic to geno to error timeline in my philosophy essay.

Ink Demonth: Failure

TW: slight Gore for this one

A scene from a discord RP with @ab-arts !! I planned for Skunk's arm to be bitten off by the main baddie, and of course, his buddy Atlas bit off more than he could chew~ ;)

this started out as a panel redraw on a voice call with friends last night. then today happened. I don’t think there’s anything i can say that hasn’t already been said.

Not going on Anon but I remember seeing your ISWM sideblog and thinking you were like some huge fandom big shot dkckdkfnf... but now you are one of my best gay people in my phone <3
