If there's anything that this session has taught us, it's that the life series has the amazing and completely unintentional power of foreshadowing, poetic cinema, and the butterfly effect. There's:
The wither painting in the roommates' home.
Mumbo: "...pressing shift economically would be a skill [that I wish I had]..." -> running off the edge of a platform into lava
Joel recruiting Lizzie to hurt/kill Scott leading her to go to the End to try and kill him, which led to her death.
The two wooden fence posts that Mumbo placed as a joke to stop Martyn being the thing to ultimately seal Mumbo's fate.
Grian failing last week's task without realizing it, making him roll for a hard task this week, thus making him have to get the Wither and Warden with Etho that killed Jimmy and Mumbo.
Edit: Lizzie's poem to Joel from Session 1: "You won me a bone, I'll never leave you alone. / I hope you stay alive and also thrive. / Don't forget to shift, when you're near a rift."
There's probably more I've forgotten but this session in particular has been CRAZY with all of this.

I haven't finished watching Scott Pilgrim Takes Off but I do believe Scott might be at least mildly bisexual and has realized that 3+ times in the past but every time he was too drunk to remember. Wallace was the cause every time and decided to not mention it.

Hey! I love the gg rivals au, it has been rolling around in my brain for a while (<-that’s positive). I was wondering what the relationship other characters have with the ranchers / the role they have.
Thank you and have a nice rest of your day/night! :D
Hello!
Jimmy is friends with Scott and knew him when they were both children, as mentioned in this post. Despite his relationship with Scott, he doesn't really have much of a relationship with either Impulse or Gem. He's met both of them maybe once or twice in his whole life.
He had actually never met Grian until the year that he and Tango joined the resistance. He and Grian don't get along very well, mostly because Grian finds it funny to mess with him and Jimmy finds it frustrating/annoying. However, Jimmy also finds the teasing endearing in a way, and he would most likely miss it if it ever stopped. Not that he would ever admit this, though.
He and Tango supply Bigb with flour and other products for his bakery, so they are pretty good friends with him; which was actually how Grian got into contact with Bigb as well.
Tango used to be friends with Skizz and Impulse. He grew up in the capital with them and trained alongside Skizz to be a medic, but they have grown apart over the years; mostly as a result of Tango disagreeing with their choice to work in the royal army and a lack of any time to hang out with each other. He hasn't spoken to them in years, despite the opportunity to do so due to Scott's connection with them.
Tango has sensed that there was something rotten within Wintertide since he was young. A dark aura that surrounded the kingdom and the castle which only brought suffering. He fully disagreed with the war and the constant fighting and was never silent about his distaste for either. In fact, he was quite vocal about it to the point that he almost got himself in trouble several times. That was how Grian found him. He was causing a ruckus in the town square, having a very loud argument with a Wintertide solider.
Grian pulled him away from the fight and told him all about the resistance and about how well he would fit in. It was only natural that he jumped at the opportunity to help when Grian offered him a place in the resistance.
I have said in the past that the ranchers mostly only help out with supplying food and the occasional intel, but that's only really true for Jimmy, to be entirely honest. Jimmy is a bit clumsy and easily injured, so he voluntarily chooses to stay away from active fighting and missions as much as possible. For Tango it is a bit different.
He's hot headed and quick to get himself in trouble, so Grian doesn't really let him participate in most things, despite heavy protest from Tango (this will cause problems). However, if they need another person for whatever reason, or need intel from somewhere they wouldn't be able to get it otherwise without being suspicious (say, from a shopkeeper who would know and talk to Tango but not them) then Tango is their go to.
Jimmy is happy with this arrangement. Tango is not.
Scott and Tango have a bit of an odd relationship. Tango doesn't like him very much by virtue of him being a Wintertide knight, but he knows that Scott is an important person to Jimmy so he keeps his mouth shut whenever Scott comes around for Jim's sake. Scott knows Tango dislikes him, but he also tries his best to keep the peace. They mostly sit in an awkward, slightly hostile, silence around each other.
Tango used to not like Etho and was very suspicious of his intentions, but they very slowly grew close over the years and bonded over a hate for the Wintertide army and its corruption, as well as a love for creation. Tango invents as a hobby and occasionally helps Etho and Mumbo out in their workshop.
You have a wonderful day/night as well!!💚💚

Just watched the first X-Men movie for the first time. Am in a marathon to watch all of them in the next four days. Some of which I have watched. But first, lemme pitch to you: Earth-616 Champions dimension crash-landing in the XCU.
Bc I get the profound feeling that Scott Summers from the movie has never experienced paintball, karaoke, or a gaggle of chaotic globetrotting kid heroes. And putting him next to a teenage version of himself who has thrived on all of those things would be EXTREMELY funny.
Add onto the fact that most of the others don't understand that this is alternate universe action going on and just assume that this was what Scott was like as a kid while he vehemently denies it.

HEY!
Your artstyle is freaking awesome! It's multifunctional for both pain and fluff! I love it so much I wanna eat it with a big cartoony fork!!
THANK YOU! I love making people feel things and letting folks know what character is feeling at any given time (which tends to happen after the thirtieth time of someone confusing them for being sad when they're not... ugh).
that is, if you really wanna know why i push expressions to the max as well, haha. i like cute, i like pain. it translates into my writing-

Okay, seeing lots of talk and hype about Netflix's Scott Pilgrim show. It looks like something I would enjoy. People keep saying it has great queer rep.
Cool. Cool cool cool.
Does it uh... have any trans characters in it?
Cause I got rid of my Netflix subscription a while back because of (but not limited to) the botched handling of any trans rights issues they encountered. Just really left a bad taste in my mouth. And seeing a show they produced being touted as so progressive and yet I've not seen a single trans character or even trans coded character.
Okay, yes, I haven't watched the show because I don't have Netflix obviously. So could there be someone I'm not aware of? Sure! But the fact that I see lots of gay and lesbian kissing and it just feels hollow. Like "Look, don't be mad at us, we can have queer characters too!" building up goodwill with the community while still actively skirting their dismal record with trans issues.
