Maybe I’m the only one who freaked out about this but bdubs’ last words before his second death made my jaw drop so I. Further dramatized it of course with a comic dfbjdfbksfgfg also I just wanted to draw ren and bigb furious :]
I really love this out of context LiL video! Stalary did such a great job!
Heather by Conan Gray, but Bigb is Heather and Scar is the one singing. If you want you can also do Cleo as Heather and Pearl singing.
DOUBLE LIFE SPOILERS!!!!
Guys! My mind is getting filled with ideas of angsty! OMG! Just Grian trying to win over Bigb. And Scar taking damage to freak out Grian or maybe its his way of trying to get his attention since Grian has his eyes on Bigb.
Maybe a Scar and Pearl team up aka the Breakheart duo? Who knows! My mind is racing with ideas omg. I might as well write some fics at this point because I just want to share the angst!
This is ten times funnier when you found out what his task was
(spoiler)
It was to dig a hole
His task was only to dig the hole
He didn't need to get all suspicious about it!
BigB causing server wide brain damage
Doodle req - BigBs secret life skin !!!
A secret life Bigb!! Based off his red life skin! <3
some designs I doodled for a random au that I never ended up writing which I had come up with mainly an excuse to have the three of them attempt a bajillion piece puzzle and go absolutely insane trying to finish it (they lost like ten pieces)
The gist was: nosey journalist and local conspiracy theorist meet cryptid in the woods who turns out to have the most normal guy core personality. Like 60% of the au was just the three of them chilling and pursuing their interests and hobbies (which consist of being extremely unsettling and weird at people, and puzzles). Also Pearl’s shirt says Ekko Astral (it’s a band) because in the au she listens to them a lot.
thisss a million times this! The thing that people forget about the secret soulmates ordeal is that Grian chose BigB, but he did not choose to be paired with Scar. He made it clear from the beginning how he didn’t want to be with Scar. (Interjection: this is all c!s, and not hating on scarian also a valid ship just me rambling about how I like to interpret it and also it’s very grammatically incorrect and probably pretty repetitive because I didn’t really read through it lol) He was forced to team with him by their shared health, but the term “cheating” implies that Grian chose to be with Scar and then later went back on that. Secret Soulmates, meanwhile, was purely for Grian’s emotional benefit. They gave each other hearts and cookies and there was nothing in particular about the two of them that screamed alliance made for practical reasons. They were just kind of keeping each other company, BigB needing it because his soulmate was away so often that the guy had joined a singles support group, and Grian needing it because well if I write all my thoughts on why in this one sentence it’ll go on forever. Even from third life, Grian shows bias toward Bigb, commenting that if it comes down to it he doesn’t think he’ll be able to kill him even though Bigb is on the opposite side.
But back to my point about why I think Grian is lonely: in double life, Scar behaves with Grian the same way that he behaves with him in third life, where he was reckless and Grian just had to go along with whatever scar said because he was indebted. This in contrast to double life, where the soul bound puts each partner on equal standing, but Scar, probably without realizing, takes the lead, but Grian is no longer content to follow. Scar takes for granted that Grian will always follow him, hence the reason he seems more inclined towards petty vengeance than actual anger or even worry when he finds out about BigB. He is confident that Grian will always come back to him, which, when Grian doesn’t want to, makes things. Complicated. Really, he builds himself a panda reserve, Grian made it very clear that he’s not super fond of the pandas, but Scar is operating on how he knew Grian in third life, before Grian joined the south lands where equality (sometimes rather than equity even when thats not really good, but that’s it whole own shebang) was like their whole shtick, so he thinks that everything he builds for him is for both of them, because in the past he was in charge and had to take the lead. So Grian seeks out someone he wanted from the beginning of both that season and of the series who is, as prev stated, very calm. Scar wanders off to go do something dangerous expecting Grian to follow because that’s what he would have done in third life, but Grian is like okay, you go do that, and goes over to go do arts n’ crafts with BigB. BigB, also, has been constantly on the outside of groups and rarely having an alliance of his own because other people find him creepy or scary or unnerving, which is something he encourages, and even seems to enjoy, but Grian is usually the only one to not be scared off by BigB’s bigbness, like in secret life when he was like this base is scary but it’s also cool, hey is that your initial in the roof and he is literally the only one to notice that and Bigb is just so excited that someone noticed something about his base that wasn’t hey this place is terrifying. They just genuinely enjoy each other company. They can just be silly and definitely not bossy together and have fun! They, for all their fanon characterization, and actually probably one of the healthiest c!relationships in the whole series, because they actually like each other, chose each others company out of their own free will and for no other reason than their affection for the other, and are not toxicly codependent. Idk this is a pretty long and probably incoherent ramble, but I felt compelled because please for the love of all that is sculk someone put some biggri on ao3 that is literally anything other than cheating in scarian angst fics. Thank you prev for reminding me how much I love this pairing.
I know that Grian said “Bigb treated me right” just to get a rise out of Scar but I feel like this is a good opportunity to talk about how much (in my opinion) Grian and Bigb as a pairing are slept on
They both have this chaotic energy that feels complimentary, Grian’s pesky bird-ness and BigB’s whimsy. They both have this quiet rebellion or discontent against the games. BigB knows that it’s all for nothing and doesn’t play into the Watchers’ emotional manipulation, whereas Grian (up until wild life) tries to escape and fight the Watchers’ hold on him.
I feel like BigB’s calm energy is a sigh of relief for Grian. That he can trust someone, and be trusted, without it being another game. That he doesn’t need to constantly worry about survival, and can just enjoy existing. They just want to frolic in a meadow and have a nice picnic your honor
I feel like there’s so much more to this pairing beyond the secret soulmates thing and that their chemistry is actually reall nice! And have a lot of potential for AUs and fanfics!
Absolutely late to do this BUT I DID IT(originally posted to my Instagram)
Lizzie and BigB! Or should I say... Terry ?

Hermit-A-Day 24: Friends!!
I tried 2 sketches of really complicated pieces but I was so tired I couldn’t finish either so here’s a little calm-down piece of Grian and BigB!
i don't know if this caption is a quote/reference but thinking about how trader scars was the first base to be destroyed, and it was never rebuilt. how he lived in the wreckage. the only things left standing were his walls and his monsters.
queen of nothing, wearing such a heavy crown
One year ago was the start of something, something cruel, yet thrilling
One year ago was the start of 3rd life
--------------------------------------------------------
This isnt in any way shape or form FINISHED but i had to get something out for the one year milestone
thank you, third life
YIPPEE MORE THEORIES :D also love the "can skizzpulse kiss yet" lmao
Hypno - You're welcome for the boob window ;) I thought he deserved it after looking at all the fanart. And yes, it is an interesting trio! There's a lot of unique combinations of people in our stories, so it's going to be very fun to write, and hopefully fun to read, too.
Also, not going to say if the journal is for Skizz or if he plans to share it with someone else, but like. Ask yourself: would Skizz talk/write to himself? (the answer is yes, he definitely would)
Are survivors a threat?? Would they be harder to kill??? Why would Skizz be thinking about all that is the real question... >:)
Martyn - I love MartRenDoc as a poly trio, my beloved (and yes, they totally would fight over Ren lol, despite him having two hands). Martyn being a 3 IS interesting, isn't it? I wonder why Skizz would've gotten that impression... (aka, I'm not going to give you any hints, but I LOVE that you noticed and want you to keep noticing things)
Gem - She's a warrior :D I mean, she's called Geminislay for a reason lol, not to mention the protective family (Girldad impulse is my favorite <3) Also just always keep in mind that Skizz's notes are just HIS thoughts and are more than capable of being wrong :)
Cub - Enkay and I actually discussed the lils having things like glasses and clothes and decided that they only get them if the Hermit created them, so the Assistants don't get glasses because Cub hasn't made them any lol (there are lils that have accessories though, as you'll see later)
Those last sentences are actually a very specific and important interaction in the Hermit's perception of Skizz, btw :)
SKULK CUBBBBBBB!! I really wanted convex, but I also adore any and all skulk creatures, so we just decided he gets both :D He and Scar have a very specific (and angsty) backstory to explain some of their notes (and it may or may not have something to do with their strange interaction Skizz described). That'll all be revealed in time
Pearl - that last line SHOULD scare you, and imo gives some of the most insight into Skizz's thoughts compared to the other secret notes. What exactly it means, I'm not telling (mainly because Enkay is obsessed with secrets even though I wanna spill them aaaaaall)
Lil creation is not something that happens naturally, I'll tell you that much. There's a reason that everyone on Hermitcraft has one
Joel - Him calling all of them Jeremy is my favorite, no comment on the abilities thing, and yes, Joel would commit crimes if Skizz tried to touch his tail.
B - IS he planning on escaping??? Why would he mention escape?????? ooOOOoOOOOooo the questions.......! Anyways, Enkay and I are still working on the exact map of Hermitcraft, but while there are lots of woods, it's not *completely* surrounded by forest. there is water, idk why you would mention him flying though, Skizz doesn't have wings! :)
There will be Jimmy and Skizz interactions!! There's a lot that needs to happen before then, but it's coming :D
Who hurt him indeed....
---
Thanks you so much for your rambles!!! I adore them sooooo much, the theories make me so happy :D I feed off of people's thoughts and ideas
Here I am again, I will be translating days 8-14 of @enkays-den and @cannibal-walleye’s silly stupid lils au which I love dearly…
So, as usual, spoilers ahead, I don’t know if I’m gonna go in as much detail as last week’s, but we shall seeeeee
AO3 Link: https://archiveofourown.org/series/4663420
This group of hermits shows a bunch more relationships and oddities that Skizz is learning about, and we learn some… things about Mr. Enigmatic Skizzlypants
Can skizzpulse kiss yet
Day 8: Hypno
VI (6) Intentionally quiet, not shy.
A survivor in general, considering he sails and judging by the stories I heard.
Experienced with combat.
Don’t underestimate anyone here.
-First of all, love Hypno’s boob window Walleye that’s great
-Anyways, Hypno, Joey, and Joel is definitely an interesting trio. Is Lizzie an ocean creature? Maybe she follows them as they sail who knows
-I bet like… $2 that Joey’s first interaction with Skizz involved him flirting… it’s Joey c’mon
-“Don’t underestimate anyone here” is Skittle saying that to himself or does he intend to give this to someone for information? I’m probably overthinking it he’s probably just reminding himself but I’M JUST THINKING
-Are survivors a threat to Skizz? Harder to kill if he’s thinking of that…
Day 9: Martyn
III (3) very arts focused, no mention of fighting, but he definitely has a strong build from something.
Has a strong spirit, very confident.
No special abilities as far as I can tell.
-By the way Skizz writes the definition of polyglot down it makes me think he didn’t know the word beforehand, which it is a weird word so I guess if someone doesn’t know it that makes sense but Sizzle is Sizzle and I feel like he’d know that word… then again, I think too much.
-Ren, Doc, and Martyn are so silly, Ren has two hands and Doc and Marty will kill eachother for him anyway
-Martyn with a 3 is weird—but also, Skizz hasn’t seen any combat stuff from him. He may not know much combat or he does, and it might surprise Skizz at some point.
-“He definitely has a strong build from something” what does this man do… maybe it’s all the running around stage/j
Maybe he has some weird lore idk Martyn always has that stuff
Day 10: Gem
VIII (8) More skilled than Impulse in combat but no size or resistance advantage.
Probably not experienced in true combat.
Fae magic can only be used if making a deal, has no effect on combat.
Should be careful when speaking to her.
Can become small and easily sneak around.
Can probably fly.
Impulse would probably kill or die for her.
-Fae Gem! Even without her magic (as long as Skizz chooses his words carefully) she’s ranked pretty high!
-If Skizz wants to take out Gem, he has to deal with dad and sister uh ohhh
I love girldad pulse
-Also, by true combat Skizz means fighting for harm or death according to Enkay, so Skizz doesn’t think Gem would know much on actual killing
-Even with that she’s still an 8, maybe cuz she’s Imp’s daughter Skizz thinks that she is very formidable (she probably is)
Day 11: Cub
VI (6) Seems pacifist, reported to not leave his lab very much.
Nevertheless, intelligent and perceptive.
Unknown how skulk infection could augment or disable vex powers.
Him and Scar kept asking very specific questions and looking at each other when they thought I wasn’t looking. I can’t tell if it’s because of whatever they think my history is or they’re suspicious.
-I love the stupid assistant doodle, I thought it deserved glasses (Enkay was HATING on it (meanie)/silly but I think it looks even more like it’d piss off Skizz)
-For the last sentences, I think scar was just being snoopy and a little suspicious but cub was really trying to figure out what Skizz’s deal was
Or they were actually both on the same page but who knows with the Convex boys
-I love skulk Cub
-Skizzy Wizzy doesn’t know what a firework is presumably, so we need a scene of Skizz seeing a firework show maybe that would make him less suspicious (or more because oh my god they have multicolored fire shooters or smth)
-We’ll see if Skizz ever learns the skulk history, whether that’s Cub’s personal history with the stuff or the actual history of skulk (assuming Skizz again does not know what it is) idk-
Day 12: Pearl
VII (7) Skilled in combat in human form.
Wolf form very large, strong, and fast. Smelling and hearing.
Maybe enhanced senses in human form.
Impulse would probably kill or die for her.
I don’t think I could hurt either of them.
-So the last line… it scares me, because either Skizz likes the daughters and doesn’t want to hurt them, OR because Impulse will kill for them, he can’t touch them
I told this to Enkay and just got-
Evil
-From “I’m not sure what their exact ages are, since they have lils” I don’t know if this has been addressed and I’ve definitely not been told, do lils like… spawn at a certain age? Or do you just gain the ability to summon some at a certain age? Interesting… so if you don’t make it past like age 20 you can’t come back! Dead and gone loser LMAO
-I love the Poppyseed doodle, since these notes are in like ink or pencil or something I wonder if Enkay just doesn’t erase any mistakes, makes it more authentic Skizzy that way
Day 13: Joel
VII (7) Genuinely confident in his abilities.
Strong build, plus sailing requires being good at a lot of different things.
No visible powers, but tanukis are known for having special abilities of any kind.
-As an avid Joel fan (even though I do not talk about him ever) I love the singular Jeremy he would definitely do that
They look like a Jeremy anyway
-I wonder if Joel does have any powers, or if he is just good at combat enough to compensate for that. But Skizz does say that tanukis can have special abilities—whatever they are—so we shall see
-Swizzle I think if you ever touched Joel’s tail he would just try to murder you LOL
Day 14: B
VII (7) Non combatant, usually only in or near the forest and easy to keep an eye on, but still great for spying.
Don’t think the cookie thing was a poisoning attempt, they already knew my allergies by then.
How many creaklings are in this area?
Sprites are very small, again a good spy.
Don’t escape through the woods.
-Skizz planning on escaping at some point? Or is it if he needs to escape, don’t go through the woods? I don’t know the map of the hermit settlement but I feel like there would be woods all around. Probably if skizz needed to escape, his best bet would be the water or even flying out.
But he doesn’t need to escappeeeee idiot…
-I hope there’s a chapter in the fic with lots of Jimmy Skizz interactions cuz he keeps talking about him and I love Jimmy and Skizz
-B’s lils are so cuteeee stupid spider
-Skizz is always gonna be edge around the forests- maybe he’ll try to talk to B? I hope so I love them
-Dude why would the cookie be a poisoning attempt who hurt you Skizzy
Andddd that’s it-
Uhhhhhhhh oh my gosh I RAMBLED sorry guys that’s a lot- uhhhhhhh hopefully I’m not boring…
Skizz what is UP with you
ANYWAYS hope you enjoyed! I’m excited and scared for these next few ones…
Cya in 7 days!
Once again, it's kinda not really part of the hadm stuff, but today is collabs, so I guess if you count the life series, B is allowed? Idk, and frankly, idc. I do what I want.
