Set after Limited Life session 7
Someone explained it pretty well in the rbs already but my main idea here was just that Grian didn’t seem to express much regret for all the deaths he’s caused, even amongst his closest allies each season (3rd life might be an exception).
(also ik he wasn't the main cause of jimmy and joel's deaths in LimLife, but their deaths were the catalyst of his regret in this instance which make them relevant in my mind)
I wanted to explore the idea that maybe he isn’t allowed to per his watcher identity, that he knows these games have consequences and fighting against them is useless.
And yet even still he pleads.
On a more realistic note, I drew this whole comic within like two days bc I wanted to get it out before the LimLife finale after the penultimate session. There are some things I would’ve done differently now a year later to make it more coherent but I don’t want to change it.
Life Series Grian is a very complicated character (all of the players are, let’s be real) and this comic only begins to scratch at the surface of how I interpret him.

Someone: hey this common theme/trend/headcanon in the fanbase is kinda misogynistic.
Some of y'alls: but these are my comfort headcanons and they give me comfort why do you hate fun so much.
Someone: hey it's kinda misogynistic to make Pearl older than the rest of the group when she's actually the youngest 'cause it's projecting a patriarchal expectation on her character without nuance.
Some of y'alls: BUT BUT IT MAKES SENSE IN MY AU AND GRIAN/JIMMY IS JUST SO BABY TO ME. LIKE JIMMY IS SO BABY. GRIAN'S SO UNHINGED AND YOUNGEST CODED. AND PEARL'S MORE RESPOSIBLE THAN THE BOYS. LIKE SHE JUST FEELS OLDER THAN BDUBS AND JOEL.
Someone: Hey I seriously think people in this fanbase should re-evaluate and examine some of their headcanons and portrayals that have misogynistic undertones as things that they need to unlearn from what they grew up with.
Some of y'alls: why do you have no whimsy? :( You could just ignore these headcanons you know? Some of these are made by kids who are inexperienced.
I'm not calling for any form of harassment who do this btw.
[Don't ever do that. You are immediately in the wrong the moment you start harassing other people.]
But maybe a bit of self-reflection or awareness in the fanbase? I know this side of the fanbase has a large demographic that skews younger, but that doesn't mean that these thoughts and ideas shouldn't be corrected.
In fact, I think something like that is important so it could be unlearned earlier but what do I know.
At least I'm calling out sexism 'cause one of my previous fanbases had to constantly call out racism 💀 and yes some of those racism do come from younger fans and people who were around my age at that time.
Idk, this fanbase makes me lose my mind sometimes.

You know what? I'm still not normal about it
What the FUCK did Grian mean by "It's the ultimate betrayal." before finishing off Scar's time in Limited Life??
Boy you had NOT been teamed up with him or his team at ALL during the entirety of the season, how the hell is it the ULTIMATE BETRAYAL ??????
you never really left the desert, did you Bad Boy?

Thinking about the last three standing.
Thinking about Scott being the embodiment of “I would die for you. If you are close the the end I will let you strike me down so you can go on for longer. If it’s between you or the rest of the world, I’ll choose you to be the one to take me out. If it’s you against me I will willingly go down so you don’t have to.”
Thinking about Martyn being the embodiment of “I would kill for you. If everyone is hunting you down, I will be beside you and defend you and take you out myself if that’s what you ask of me. If our allies have betrayed you I will turn my blade on them and make them suffer for the pain they have brought you. I will not die for you if that’s what it takes to keep you safe, but I will go into battle time and time again for your sake.”
Thinking about Impulse being the embodiment of “I would live for you. If you are gone I will go on in your stead. If you are not there to leave a mark on the world, I will be the one to leave a mark for you. If you ask of me to carry on until the end, I will get up time and time again to honor your wish. I cannot not die for you anymore, and I do not kill in your name, but I will persevere for you so you may live on in me.”

The Sea Prince
Mean Gills / Majorwood AU dump
While I work on my Flower Husbands highschool au, Coral Reefs and Cigarettes, my mind drifted to a more fantastical AU for my second favorite ship, majorwood!
General Ideas I’d want to explore and characters I’d love to write will be here, starting with the main premise:
Martyn is the second mate to the infamous sea monster hunters in all of the seas, Joel and Grian. Despite their crew’s reputation, they have yet to slay one of the most elusive creatures of the ocean: a sea prince. Large, terrifying beasts that can destroy the largest of ships and leave nothing in its wake. Folktale suggests that there have only been seven sea princes that rule the oceans, but none have lived to tell the tale.
One of the unfortunate victims has been the third captain of the crew: Jimmy.
Searching and desperate for answers, Joel and Grian’s crew set out to find and kill a sea prince. If not for the glory and reward, but for their brother. This all crashes as the ship gets flung into a small, almost empty island as Martyn has experienced something no one has able to have been: stare a sea prince straight in the eyes.
The problem is, how can those eyes be the same one as the cute tavern owner he’s been flirting with?
Obviously, Scott is gonna be a sea prince! Martyn is the first (and perhaps not the last) person to realize that the gigantic monsters of the sea look more human than he thought.
I’m not sure who the other princes would be (prince is a gender neutral term, so Pearl and Cleo are also good contenders if y’all would want a sea fight between them + Scott) and the rest of the server are either on the small island with Scott as locals or on the crew! We could also slot in people like Mumbo, Ren (who I plan to be a dead lover oof), and Lizzie (who could be a sea prince too? >:) ) for the rest of the players to be in here!
What do y’all think?

woahhhhh wait yall, in session one, after joel kills the TIES' cows, etho says that hes gonna snipe up anything that's precious to joel. in session seven, etho gets a boogey kill on jimmy while hes barely got an hour. that shouldve killed him. it doesnt matter that bdubs and scott wanted to give jimmy their time because jimmy never should have made it to 7 minutes, he shouldnt have respawned after etho killed him. if jimmy had died when he was meant to, etho wouldve kept his promise, he wouldve sniped up anything that was precious to joel.
