Ok so I just recently watched all three life series from scars pov again and I've come to a horrible realization...Scar doesn't hit grian once after third life and if he does he never shows it. When grian steals his first life in last life sure scar goes after him swinging but he never actually hits him just barely missing him every time and when he was the boogeyman and had the perfect chance to kill grian he simply doesn't. In double life it was grian who hurt scar to show him that they were soulbound. It never crossed scars mind to test grian like at all. Like he just accepted that grian was helping him out by giving him food whenever he was low on hunger and worrying about his life when he was low on hearts out of the kindness of his own heart. He was one hundred percent ready to accept that grian was going to be on his side without even being soulmates in a death game. He didn't care about who his soulmate was at all in double life but accepted grian as an ally right off the bat. And when he finally realized who his soulmate was via dripstone ,as pay back for grian not telling him sooner, he doesn't hit grian ,no, he punches a jellie panda and hurts himself. Everytime he wants to hurt grian he never physically hits him it's always him hurting himself. Grian on the other hand...in last life grian isn't afraid to hit scar. After stealing his life and running into Lizzie he takes out his sword and swipes at scar the moment he jumps down to their level but misses and he shots arrows at him willingly when he's on yellow and when on red despite not wanting to. On double life grian is the one who hurts scar physically. When showing him their soulmates he uses dripstone and when their hiding from the reds he uses dripstone to prank scar which almost kills them both. It's wild. Plus in last life scar is the only one with a cactus in a world without a desert and it's mumbo and grian who trades for it and in double life they make another monopoly on sand and somehow manage to find the only cactuses on the server to hide out by when on the run. Yeah they never left the desert but Scar never left monopoly mountain and Grian never left the cactus ring.
Sooo I made a design for every hermit- and some others- but didnt end up finishing all of them cus i lost motivation. I will be posting the completed Hermits individually in small groups over the next few err weeks?
Here are the sketches of the hermits i missed 😔 I am sorry for left to right: Impulse, False, Ren, XB, Keralis, and Beef...
You know how the watchers made the life series, a death game where the point is to kill eachother to be the last player standing.
Now, Jimmy, the listener, tormented in the watcher's death game, created a LIFE game, 30 days hardcore smp. Where the point is just to survive 30 days, there are no red names, killing each other is forbidden and EVERYONE who makes it to the last day wins
Leave it to DesertDuo to be the ones to make the best possible metaphor for their relationship. Bread Bridge. Their relationship isn’t love or hate or whatever else you want to call it, it’s that stupid fucking bridge.
Every time they meet, it’s the same song and dance, they try and build bridges, to connect to what they had back in that goddamned desert (and isn’t is ironic that there is one on this map, just out of reach?) yet even back then they were still the same. Yes they try and build bridges, but it never ends in any way other than violence.
Literally the first major DesertDuo moment, Grian tries to have fun with his friends and throw a little prank and what happened? Scar dies.
End of third life, Scar tries to apologize to Grian and repent for the betrayal he caused and how does it end? Scar dead in the sand and Grian not far behind.
Last life? Scar tried to befriend Grian immediately and he goes along with it, only for Grian to literally steal his life and run away.
And don’t get me started on Double Life. Souls so intertwined yet somehow the dynamic barely shifts. Every single one of their deaths occurred while trying to help the other did it not?
And here we are, on the fourth rendition of this hellscape and Grian is building a bridge to Scar. Do you think he saw it and had hope? That maybe they could be allys again? (There’s a way we can still be friends Mumbo)
Do you think there was any suprise when that bridge is basically what killed him?
