Makes sense actually. I'll check it out :D
SEVEN DEADLY SINS
Pride - Grian
Gluttony - Scar
Wrath - Joel
Envy - Cleo
Sloth - Scott
Lust - Pearl
Greed - Martyn
Pride: Pride fits him for a few reasons, watcher lore and general character. By common watcher lore iterations he is an escapee of the watcher realm. His refusal to go with their schemes gives him this role. Unrelated to the watcher lore, he has never been one to go down without a fight. His 1v4 in secret life, the killing of bdubs when he and Scar betrayed him etc. He is a fighter, and he won't give up even when the odds are against him.
Gluttony: Scar has always been known for his terrible trades, seeming to never have enough. He's always opting for more and more, not caring what it'll take to get it. Even if it means screwing over his “friends”.
Wrath: In reference to my Life Series Curses post; his being the Bloodbath Curse; it fits his slow descent to madness and thirst for destruction as each season progresses.
Envy: Someone overlooked, being dubbed the “Fake Winner” by many. Envious of those considered as “real” winners.
Sloth: I considered pride for Scott but I think it fits Martyn more and sloth can be affiliated with the fact that he won by not doing what he was supposed to do as the boogeyman.
Lust: Each season, Pearl has been heartbroken or betrayed (I think I don't quite remember but I'm quite sure Scarlet Witch was born from her divorce from Scott) so I think it fits(?).
Greed: Greed for Martyn fits I think cause he's always thirsty for a win, for something to happen. He is careful with what he has and is a very tricky character.
Alternatives:
I actually thought of wrath for Martyn because of his naturally chaotic personality but I thought Pride suited him more because he refuses to go down without a fight. A proper one.
I thought that lust would suit scar a bit because of what he said when he won secret life, as well as his relationship with grian (desert duo I miss you pls come back TvT) but in general terms I think gluttony suits his overall character more.
Grian was very tricky since he could fit in with and wrath as well cause he can be petty when he wants to i.e. killing of Jimmy in wild life but settled on pride cause it's more general.
Pride can work with Martyn as well cause I think it would make sense for his win in limited life as he refused to go with the fair fist fight in favor of ensuring himself the win. But I think it suits grian more idk. I kinda just put him in greed cause I like which else to give him TvT.
I've been working on these guys since late January, I'm so happy they're finally done <33
+ Closeups!
Fav part to draw for me was their eyes :D

Doin somethin
Add a Martyn to the mix and you get the ultimate gay lore
starts manifesting a scott and grian alliance for next life series so they can be the most toxic gay boys ever together
I just saw an animatic to this song about desert duo lmao
I want them worse when they’re with each other.
I want them to be negative influences on one another.
I need them to take one look at the other and know in their heart that there is no saving them. They are a doomed, twisted, tragic relationship that will lead to one of them hurting and killing the other. But for now, what they have is so passionate, so intensely intimate, they can’t bare to give it up until it’s forcefully ripped from their cold, perished hands.
I want the survivor to mourn the loss of something putrefyingly terrible because they will never be able to recreate the experience with another. I want the most toxic yaoi love possible.
I want them to look deeply into eachother’s eyes, holding the back of the the others head, as they speak in a tone like a wedding vow, that they promise they will never part, they will never escape, they will never be so happy, they will never be so miserable without the other.
In my favourite line from The Crane Wives song, Tongues & Teeth,
“I will only break your pretty things, I will only wring you dry of everything.”
“I will poison all your happy thoughts, I will love you like the ashes in my cigarette butts”
They are living so closely on the same wavelength that they are inseparable. They are menaces when they work together, one would burn civilizations to the ground for the other if they so desired. They would do anything for the other if only they asked. They annoy each other to no end. The are in love. They are in loathing.
They are so intensely passionate and obsessed, there is no way out but death. And one of them will die, soon, I’m sure. It’s only ever a matter of time. But they have the present, they have this wild inferno of the here and now, and they will not waste it.
The reason spawn is now 30 million blocks away is because Grian was testing the watcher powers and messed up and didn’t want to admit that so he said it’s for the bit.
He was casually talking to Pearl about Evo one day (as one does) and found out the other watchers moved the spawn there and he was like oh I wonder if I can do that and accidentally moved it 100,000 times farther than he was trying to (he was trying to move it to in front of the permit office) and now no one can figure out how to move it back.
They got the recap team to try and move it back (they are watchers with more training than Grian they should’ve been able to fix it) but it didn’t work and Xisuma looked through the code nonstop for like a week with no results.
So spawn is going to stay there until Grian figures out how to reverse it but unfortunately he only works 24 hours a day 7 days a month
.
I really need to work on that title lmao
