Pls Rb If You Think Cuddling Doesn't Have To Be S3xual

It's the finale of the next life series. There are only a handful of people left. The Winners Soulmate theory must be true, right? Etho takes a deep breath and catalogues his opponents. He sharpens his sword and reads the death messages in the chat. Something rustles behind him. Etho turns around. It's LDShadowLady with a gun. She shoots him off the edge of the cliff and his body falls dramatically and gracefully over the edge, hitting the last two people left and killing them on impact. Lizzie cheers. Shen then immediately falls off the same cliff by complete accident. She wakes up in the Winners realm, inside a car, and blinks. "Lizzie," Joel tears up next too her in the drivers seat. "Do you want to run the other Winners over in a car for all eternity with me?" Lizzie tears up and says yes. They drive off into the sunset and immediately hit Scott Smajor

Edit because I think this is being misinterpreted: The aroace tag is not colored, it's a petition for Tumblr to color it (sorry for the confusion)

They’re playing superheroes <3

Scar and Lizzie definitely got married for tax benefits back in college and are currently undergoing a divorce, but Lizzie has yet to mention it because Scar keeps going to all their friends trying to get divorce presents because "my wife is leaving me" (he says he'll give her half)

I can't write a better intro than the Joel-man himself, so. Here. Yippee!

Genshin Joel

Genshin Joel OVERVIEW - Name: Joel “Smallish” Beans Rarity: Five StarWeapon: SwordElement (Gnosis/Vision/Delusion): Electro Model Type:

Joel is a Electro Sword user, most likely in the On-Field and DPS roles, hailing from Inazuma.

Specifics and thought process following under the cut.

Element and Weapon: Joel's willingness to be a (politely) abrasive force of self-acknowledgment plays right into the Electro thematics of distinct and unusual identity, and the kind of "aware denial" many of them seem to have. He knows what he's doing; he does it anyways. For the weapon, the man made a sword fight club, so. He's a sword fighter. Simple.

Region and Affiliations: Between its closeness to the ocean and the Japanese aesthetic aligning with Joel's current build style and love of Japan, Inazuma was unquestionably the pick for Joel. I can imagine Lizzie (Ocean Queen form, of course) being involved with the Sangonomiya shrine, so I placed Joel on Watatsumi island specifically to be closer to that styling; I could also see him ending up there simply because he's not playing along with the Vision Hunt Decree. He might even still be a tanuki of some kind, as I see in a lot of fanart of him - but if he is, he's definitely not open about it.

Constellation: Joel likes to play with obviously false or thin self-aggrandizement, so Charta Coronam (Paper Crown) is where I ended up. (I think someone once joked that the Mezalean King's crown was made of paper, as well - feels right to me.) The stars would follow the points of the crown, including one that's creased and folded over on itself to show its falseness.

Special Dish and Event Wish: While I don't exactly know what a country full of armor stand clones would eat, Mezalean Cuisine is referencing Joel's Empires SMP empire from season 1, Mezalea (in Genshin terms, it'd probably be his village tucked somewhere on the island). And with the tongue-in-cheek-ness that exclamation points can add, at Joel's behest, his wish declares him The Best, Ever, At Everything!

Ascension and Talent Materials: The Sango Pearl ties Joel to Watatsumi Island even more, and being an ocean item leans into his love of the Ocean Queen Lizzie from Empires Season 1. While the ubiquity of the Hilichurl Mask makes it a simple choice, it also could tie into Joel's themes of hiding behind a 'mask' of his arrogance and overinflated confidence, to not have to truly face who he actually is. Or he could just be stealing them to carve into more masks of himself. Or he could just find Hilichurls annoying. He does tend to solve annoyance with violence. The history of Enkanomiya and Watatsumi Island are inexorably bound, and the Dragonheir's False Fin comes from fighting a threat to both, essentially. It's also a fin that developed out of aesthetic more than use, and out of the creature's hatred directly, and I think Joel would appreciate spite so strong you evolve from it. Joel's relationship with Transience and change is very fun, where it entirely depends on whether he's directly in control of it or not if he's Okay with the Change. A fun talent tree to develop. And considering Joel's history, having to fight essentially one's own godly creation in order to allow it to change is thematically appropriate, in my eyes. Tears of the Calamitous God also reference convictions being strong enough to challenge calamity, and the Mezalean King was so convinced the demon didn't exist that it Literally Never Appeared to Him, so. He's clearly got something going on there.

Elemental Skill: Much conversation and humor around Joel centers around obsession - him being obsessed with other people, them being obsessed with him, or him being Self-Obsessed. I think making infinite clones of yourself meant to explode and die for you is. A very Joel way to deal with the topic (the King Joel TCG card has a Clone ability). Also of course Joel gets a taunt mechanic - he loves to taunt people!

Elemental Burst: If Empires Season 1 Joel was so convinced that the lore wasn't real that it couldn't touch him, Empires Season 2 Joel was fully willing to use (and abuse) The Power of Lore. Saying "Lore" three times was how he got his trident of Stratos, and considering the Zeus-ian implications of a lightning god in a Greek-style empire, it fit well into an Electro character as a nice burst, hurling lightning at people.

Talents and Constellation Upgrades: There's a common phrase (and song) that goes "Anything You Can Do, I can do better", which fits Joel and his competitiveness very well. So if he's running around with allies better than him, he'll rise to the challenge. Obsession continues on theme for Joel - his rare TCG card ability Obsess gets more powerful the more you have of him. In addition to building timelapses, Joel is also fond of including a Material Montage in his video, usually with some twist on the commentary or music over it just to mess with the editor.

Joel traded his way to the music disc permit in Season 10, and has been making his own custom songs for a while. In reference to the shop and the song, you spin him right round, baby, right round, Like A Record, baby- Joel's relationship with his viewers involves a lot of (good-natured) bullying, and he often greets them with "Hey Losers". Channeling and Loyalty are two strong enchantments for a trident, as the one that lets you make lightning and the one that lets it come back after thrown - perfect for Strike of Stratos! So the whole Neck Kisses came from a misspeak during the Decked Out 2 Guest Day; it's now cemented enough to be a Rare TCG ability for him. Joel just lives with it now. The Mezalean King's army of clones required him to have an extensive Spare Head Collection to make them out of, back in Empires season 1. One of Joel's most throughline bits is a tumultuous relationship between Minecraft Joel and Editor Joel in the most fourth-wall-breaking manner, often involving the Minecraft or 'live' Joel Yelling at the Editor to make something happen. Also the idea of including a 'timelapse' to mess with real-world time is funny to me.

Other Thoughts:

I don't have many process thoughts; I do feel like in-world, Joel worked on establishing himself a nickname to keep from being called "Beans", and the ill luck of ending up with "Smallish" is too funny not to consider.

I think Nilou deserves more recognition so I drew her!

People making Life Series Scott a unicorn hybrid is so funny to me.

like is Joel killing him because he's a horse? hilarious implications.
