Project LUMEN: APPLICATIONS ROUND 2 OPENING SOON!!!!

As you can see on our lovely lil poster (made by @pinkish29) we're opening applications for the next round on the 30th of April! The period the apps are open will be for nearly three weeks (ending on May 20th) to give anyone plenty of time to apply. See below the Project Lumen banner for more info on the roles we have open!

Have you ever wanted to know what the life series would look like as a video game? Well we've got the answer for you! Project Lumen is an RPG-like game revolving around all the series of the life smp, with twists and turns, multiple storylines that can possible diverge from the 'canon' timeline. There will be mini games, quests related to each episode of a season, and much more!

Here's a basic rundown of what we're doing:

You, the player, are introduced as the Watcher Child (WC for short. They're the character in the poster above!). You are an apprentice within the Watchers, and your job is to follow and guide the champions chosen by the Watchers themselves through challenges and enemies. Featuring unique leveling systems, DnD inspired classes, and, most importantly, the ability to impact the story with the choices you make… because, after experiencing all the Life Series seasons from both the Watcher and the Player side, maybe you’ll have a change of mind. After all is said and done and seen, the world is yours to shape, Watcher Child.

We are looking for both writers and background artists!

Writers will be in charge of helping getting the script together, creating dialogue and helping create both canon timelines and alternate timelines. Your job is to make the world real through the characters, the story, and the world. You don't need script writing experience though, you'll be given opportunities to learn if you're selected. We're just looking for those willing to learn and dedicate time towards this beautiful game!

Background artists, which are the most awesome people ever you should really become a background artist, will create the backgrounds for things like fights and loading screens. It's your job to mold the world of the life series for this project. You get to draw things like the Secret keeper from secret life, the relation-ship from double life, the forest burning and the desert deserting in third life, and everything in between!

Please keep in mind this project is a long-term project that takes many months to complete. The workload, though, is extremely manageable and everyone currently working on it is having a blast!

If you have any questions at all, give us a shout (an ask)! We'll be extremely happy to answer any questions, especially of what it's actually like creating for this project (it's awesome), because we're already partway through third life.

Looking forward to seeing all of your applications, and meeting all you lovely people who manage to get in!!!

-Team LUMEN

I really like your art :D And I happened to see your Yhs Grian as Haruhi from Ouran High School post, I love it. I was inspired to write it. Hope you have a brilliant day! :D

Aww thanks! You too^^

the hermits fucking hate dream's ass btw like they do not like him and you should be embarrassed if you think otherwise

I often analyze the Life Series through a lens of personal agency because I think it's a broadly applicable theme and it's also a theme that matters to me personally, so it's always stuck with me, maybe more than a lot of the fandom, how little agency Grian had in Third Life.

Scar and Grian's deal was in of itself was wildly unhealthy for Grian, I think. Obviously Scar didn't go out of his way try to make things hard for Grian, in fact, a lot of the things Grian did for him because of their deal were things Grian decided himself were his responsibility. But unconditional servitude is a very limiting and possibly even dehumanizing thing to agree to, and it clearly got to Grian. He frequently spoke about being unhappy, about wanting to leave, about how much he hated having to do what Scar says. And while some of that was for show, I also think there was a lot of very real regret over being caged, over giving away so much personal agency in a moment of guilt and obligation.

The first real choice Grian made was to stay with Scar, despite whatever resentment he'd built earlier, despite how much part of him wanted to leave.

This was punished quickly when Scar betrayed him, and possibly in the worst way possible. He tossed out a piece of paper, said whoever catches it lives. Grian couldn't catch it before Bdubs did, Grian couldn't convince his one ally not to help stab him to death, Grian couldn't fight back when it was two against one. He was helpless, in many ways in that moment. Nothing he did meant anything, nothing he did could have stopped it, Grian's first act of personal agency after so long being caged was to choose to stay with Scar, and Scar stabbed him for it while Grian tried (and failed, because nothing he did would have stopped it) to convince him not to.

Scar tried to make up for it (well, depending on whether you view scar's "you may slay me" as genuine or strategy) in a way I think is pretty meaningful all things considered. Scar kneeled, and he gave Grian the power to do what he would, let Grian choose. Which is possibly the best thing Scar could have done, when I see Grian feeling robbed of personal agency as such a big Thing in his Third Life pov.

But it didn't matter in the end. The spectators wanted a fight, and for one reason or another, Grian felt bound to their wishes. Maybe he would have wanted to kill Scar, or maybe he would have wanted to go home together and keep living, or maybe he would have wanted a fight if he could have chosen it. But Grian couldn't, he didn't have a choice. Grian was forced to kill Scar, and then he threw himself off the cliff, because there was no other option, nothing else to do.

I just feel like Grian is robbed of agency at so many turns in Third Life in a way we don't think about all that much.

Welcome to the project!

Hi! We're the Life Series Novel Project, a group of 3 writers with the goal of adapting every Life series season into a novel, one book per season. This is a YA (young adult) adaptation so blood, violence, and occasionally swearing will be included. All books will be free for download online here and on our Bluesky (@lifenovelproject.bsky.social) once we complete them.

If you want to help support the project, we'll have applications for guest artists and beta readers open soon, or you can just share this project by reblogging! Life series members are welcome to interact and know about this project, but please don't pressure or spam them about reading this. This is an absolute labor of love from a few massive life series fans, and we hope you'll enjoy the final product.

Now, let's meet the writers!

You may call me Rose or Rosie (@rosiesweetberries), and I’ve been a life series fan since Secret Life. I’m the main author for this project. I’ve written a couple of AUs but I’m also a self-published author looking forward to sharing my own stories. My favorite genre is horror so that is what my novels are most likely going to be based around. Although this particular project is a bit different of course. My favorite lifers are Tango, Impulse and Skizz but doesn’t mean I don’t watch everyone else’s pov straight afterwards. You know it’s me when you see 🌹

I'm Moss (@mossfeathers), and I've been a life series fan since way back in Double Life! I'm one of the primary editors for this project. I'm a recreational writer and I love to write horror and dark, creepy stuff, but I don't post most of what I write since it's not usually fics. My favorite lifer is Bigb, but I watch pretty much everyone and my other favorites are Etho and Jimmy. I'll be signing off my posts with Mod 🪴

My names Phil (@ respectundead44) and I've been a life series fan since before Last life started. I'm the other primary editor for this project. I've written many short stories and fanfics, many of which can be found pinned at the top of my blog. I love horror and psychology but I also dabble with some fluff. Though it rarely ends well.... :) My favourite lifers are Imp and Skizz but there's rarely a pov I miss. Mod 🤘

Thank you for reading! If you have any further questions, our askbox is open for anything. Remember to check back in soon for beta reader and artist applications!

Thinking about Grian and how despite the fact that he’s always in an alliance, he inevitably ends up alone.

Always, when he dies he’s alone. From winning 3rd life to dying alone in that tunnel during DL and being the final Bad Boy (singular) in limited life. Grian is destined to end up alone.

And then, you think about him in Secret Life, and how yes he died alone but he died knowing that his teammates would be proud of him.

He knows that when Etho and Cleo find out how he died, all his work to weaken what was probably the strongest team, they’ll mourn but they’ll be proud of him.

Grian hasn’t had people be proud of him like that before.
