THE BAD BOYS ARE HERE 😎✨✨

I have new hyperfixation and I'm gonna make it everyone's problem

What if BAM was an acronym? Here are some potential words. 

Business, botanist, brainiac, banker, butcher

Abnormal, animal, approval, artisans, artist, angel, archer, arbitrators, attorneys, archivists 

Members, monopoly, mates

Personality I think DAM being An acronym for business association members is funny. Butcher Angel Mates is a close second.

secret life celestial symbolism

It’s that Time again time to nominate a symbol for the winner

Grian is the sun Scott is the stars pearl is the moon and Martyn is mars or earth (that one is not concrete)

Anyway I put forth the suggestion that Scar be symbolically associated with Pluto 

Pluto named for the misunderstood and vilified god of death and wealth

Pluto the ex planet that’s separated for reasons beyond its control 

Pluto a cold and secluded location

Pluto a place the suns warmth can’t reach

Life smp magical girl au jimmy

Jimmy has a cowboy theme and his weapon is a gun the only problem is that for some reason when ever he summons them they pop into existence spinning resulting in him having to twirl them In order to still them and actually be able to aim his weapon

His ability is that he is able to attract witches familiars to him because He wished to be seen and respected so now he has the ability to make familiars unable to ignore him because his aura makes him seem powerful and a threat that they need to eliminate

In stead of having canary symbolism Lizzie has anglerfish symbolism

Instead of a warning to the players that gets ignored Lizzie’s death encourages the players to be more reckless and it won’t be ignored 

Unlike jimmy Her death does not signal the escalation of distrust and betrayal because the tasks required them to do both and as a result there was already enough to satisfy the watchers 

The watchers this season are more entertained by the players suffering by their actions then suffering at the hands of others 

I head canon that Jimmy has the dead anime mom hair of death

This is why he always dies first

Gemcyt Rejuvenated jimmy headcanon

First some explanation

The color of a gem can give you a good indication of what their personalities are because of the way gems are made by the diamond putting their essence into their creations resulting in the gem inheriting looks powers and personality traits from their creator 

All the diamonds contribute to gem making process so a single gem usually is a combination of diamond traits it’s just that the mixture is uneven so the diamond that contributes more is the one that they get more from 

 An example of a gem that is a mix of multiple diamonds would be holly blue age she is a light blue with purple hair meaning the diamonds who’s essence was used to create her are pink white and blue

if it is a green gem then they have similar personalities to and even look like blue diamond and yellow diamond just like a red gem would be like pink diamond and yellow diamond 

Powers and roles are also a good way to glean information about a gem

blue gems are elites that can control water and ice they are mellow but they let their emotions stew and spill over 

Yellow gems make up much of the military and are technicians they are rational dutiful but also blunt

Pink gems are immature but empathetic the roles they take are entertainers and artists they seem to have an easier time shape shifting (their is a theory I’ve seen that they have fire powers but pink diamond never demonstrated it despite gems with pink essence having that ability)

White gems are perfectionists and self centered and are very high ranked 

white gems or gems that are lighter shades of the colors have high positions the lighter blue gems are higher than others(aquamarine and sapphire) while the darker shades or  mixed with to many different colors while valuable are not as high on the hierarchy( lapis and holly blue agate) also dark yellow or gems that are a yellow combo with pink and blue are common soldiers but topazes are a lighter shade of yellow than other yellow gems and also have a higher ranking than jasper who is orange

So Color is a good thing to keep in mind when making a gem au 

Using the information we can guess what their factory settings are 

Jimmy is a blue gem but is lighter than the average lapis and a little bit of green so if he was hit with a rejuvenator then I think his base personality would be like the sheriffs from empires season 2 but the negative traits turned up 

From white he has a I can do no wrong attitude 

From yellow he gets his stubbornness 

From blue he gets petty ness and elitism 

It sounds worse than it is he acts like an upper crust gem only sticking around because grian is a higher ranking than him but he ignores the lesser gems and gross organic life surrounding him

In order to get him back they need to jog his memory and for use to figure out what needs to happen to get him back we should make a back story here is my take

As soon as he emerged he was placed in a group of lapis they acted very much like mean lapis and nice lapis from the show very snide with lots of high school mean girl energy 

 but after he majorly screwed up on a terraform project he was sent to reeducation and when he returned they turned on him he became an outcast on the other side of the snide remarks 

and because of that realization once he reformed he made a change to his form by adding a veil he tried to hide his face out of shame but he also had hope that if he tried to get back in to the group he would eventually be excepted back but no matter what he tried he messed it up 

After three major failures the empire had given up on him and he was to be harvested but fortunately that was where he met a captured rebel martyn who he bonded with 

While they were waiting to be harvested they joked around and martyn made a joke about jimmy but to jimmy’s suprice he was not hurt by it because it didn’t feel malicious and like he was excluded 

he found he liked being the butt of the joke and opened up so when other rebels came for martyn Jimmy was offered a place on the team

Cut to current day and he doesn’t have his memories so In order to jog his memory he needs to get a slice of humble pie which won’t be hard to pull off because he is naturally clumsy but it can only be done by grian

Because if he is humiliated by a gem he sees as bellow him then he will pretend he didn’t hear the comments but if it is by an equal or superior then he will move on to the vail stage 

Then he will progress the veil stage and to get back his memories he needs to be put in a situation where he is emotional done and is with a gem lower on the totem pole that makes fun of him and he is ok with it

Life smp Pjo au skizz

Skizz is the son of eleos goddess of compassion and pity 

Skizz’s dad is a very kind man who works at a morgue and actually met skizz’s mother while on the job

He found a woman crying over a grave and noticed that woman was in all black with the exception of her veil which was dark blue and hid her face

he went to comfort her and she took note of him compassionate gesture

When prompted she told him that she didn’t actually know the person that was buried she just got sad because someone died 

He fell for her because of her empathy 

She fell for him because his kindness 

Skizz inherited both those qualities from his parents 

Pjo au scott

For my pjo au I can’t decide who Scott’s parent is 

He could be the son of iris the personification of the rainbow. my reasons for this is that in empires season 2 Scott’s empire is literally called chromia. also Scott is gay and the flag is a rainbow. On websites I checked Iris either has mom or dad that is an ocean god or nymph which ties into the mean gills 

Or he could be a son of Athena if any of the life smp members were to be a child of Athena it would be Scott. He prefers to play smart and keep a level head. If he is a Athena kid then he’s going to have the grey eyes and blonde hair all of Athena’s children have but he dyes his hair teal

People might say he’s an Aphrodite kid because he’s flirty and super thirsty and in witchcraft smp he was a romantic but I like the other ideas better 

Badboys soul eater au

Joel is a small short range hunting knife. a brutal close quarters weapon that always results in The users hands getting bloodied but etho wields him like a ninja would a throwing knife because he looks like kakashi who is a ninja. somehow this actually works out for them 

Jimmy is a chain whip with a lantern that has a flame in it that loudly explodes everything it touches as a result every person that has ever partnered with him has run for the hills the moment they realized how dangerous it is to control and others that already know dread having to work with such a destructive weapon. even his friends don’t want the potential catastrophe that could result except for tango who loves explosions and thinks the chains give him a fabulous aesthetic 

Grian is a bow and arrow not just the bow but also the arrows if scar shoots an arrow as far as he can then grian will be able to tell him where it landed and what is happening in the area. The bow materializes a new arrow when ever an arrow has been shot so scar can shoot multiple arrows that land in many different locations but Grian can’t be everywhere at once so he can only choose to be present at one location so when ever he transfers his consciousness to a single arrow he has to leave scar unattended as you can imagine he doesn’t like doing this 

My Headcanons for watcher lore

So there are watchers listeners and speakers and the three have the same power level so the watchers are not stronger than the others they have the same abilities the difference is how they respond and how they apply their power 

Watchers abuse their powers for selfish purposes they will not restrain themselves and because they don’t feel the need to care about consequences they show their ludicrous strength more freely and do to that are seen as more powerful by everyone that knows about them 

Listeners try to do something to stop the games and free the players that is what they use their powers for but they tread carefully they will be hesitant to do something to drastic they wait and listen for the right moment to act unlike the other two they put effort into being Subtle 

Speakers are what happens when a listener gets to invested and it becomes personal they lose patience and they get desperate they can’t hold their tongues anymore so instead of listening to reason they get reckless 

The watchers are apathetic and selfish only caring about their own entertainment and survival not giving a thought to the players wellbeing unless it messes with them

The listeners are realist and sympathetic when they saw the suffering they wanted to help but they don’t let it get to personal they help because it’s the right thing to do 

The speakers are emotional and empathetic they are listeners that grew attached to the players they feel responsible for and when the players they love are hurt one to many times they lash out throwing caution out the window which is why there’s so few 

They aren’t different creatures they are the same just at different stages of processing the fact that they are no longer human and have god like power 

Power corrupts and combined with peer pressure from already existing watchers it’s no wonder the watchers have larger numbers 

The color changes based on their temperament 

The watchers are purple 

The listeners are green 

The speakers are orange 

There’s not an immediate chance in color it works like a mood ring 

Take Grian he is more watcher than listener and speaker but because he has attachments and empathy and only keeps his watcher title because he uses his powers for entertaining pranks his color is magenta just leaning a tad bit more purple though he is steadily been moving towards red (his two colors that he is associated with are red and purple) 

please tell me more of your bad boys demigod au ???? its so good :D

maybe how they first met or smth???

I have not worked out how they met but I have thought of the ages they were when it happened

Jimmy and joel met first like in cannon they were the first bad boys 

Irl Jimmy is 26 Joel is 29 and grian is also 29 in the au they are aged down but have the same age gap 

Jimmy was 7 and joel was 10 and both of them had recently ran away when they ran into each other and decided to stick together 

Grian joined them a year later when he and joel were 11 and jimmy was 8

Grian actually ran away at 9 years old and didn’t start traveling with them until he was 11 which means he was on his own for 2 years before joining the bad boys and as a result knows what he’s doing more than the other two 

I think in lore there’s a reason behind why jimmy’s final death in limited life was due to falling from the sky

The watchers were extra pissed at him for trying to defy them so they made it so jimmy an avian with the canary curse who they made unable to use his wings for the game fell from the sky 

They killed him in a way he would have been able to avoid without there involvement they also found it fitting for someone who had a curse named after a bird died in a way that reminded him of birds it was them rubbing salt in the wound

Jimmy was like Icarus he tried to defy the watchers and because he got so confident and careless he fell

He reached for the sky but it was all for nothing

Grian 

I’m the bad guy from wander over yonder

I love the bad boys and how they tell everyone that they’re bad boys but end up coming across as trying to hard and i already have ideas to start I’m imagining them as going over the top with the bad boy image they what so they dress in over the top edgy bad boy clothes 

Joel street punk/rocker wearing a leather jacket with a lot of spikes and pockets also cool sunglasses “given” to him by bdubs which bdubs got from gems sun cult also baggy pants that are just jimmys that he unnecessarily knifed in front of him for fun saying it was for style 

Inspiration Danny from grease and Sam from Danny phantom 

Jimmy pastel goth/scene kid he dyed his hair neon blue because I saw a picture of him with blue hair and he asked Scott for the teal dye he wears fingerless gloves that he cut himself he’s very proud of that and skinny jeans which are just Joel’s but they don’t fit and on his fist are truly a absurd number of bracelets 

Inspiration Neighthan Rot from monster high and avril lavigne

Grian he chose Victorian goth/steam punk but he didn’t feel like going out of his way so he got some suspenders and a ruffled shirt also stole scars top hat and some inventor goggles he swiped from a hermit because there is no shortage of mad scientist types on hermit craft and he called it a day 

Inspiration Entrapta from she ra Ciel Phantomhive from black butler 

Joel gives the winners a ride in his car, and they drive around to different seasons of the life series. It's basically an interdimensional travelling car. And then they crash into the side of Joel's base in hermitcraft because someone let martyn drive.

Gang. My artist block was cured by minecraft Youtubers who compete in a hunger games

I think there are so many amazing bases you could draw in season 9 and this current season.

Grian's, Gem's, False's and Pearl's season 9 bases were iconic imo, and there's also the Decked Out castle. You could also go for the Post Office this season or Bdubs' frankly Ghibli style home, Keralis' vacation spot, or Joel's Japanese steampunk city.

These are such good ideas!! I'm gonna try and do one per season, maybe from season five onwards, so I have five artworks. I would love to do the decked out castle, I'll have to think over some of the other seasons. Although mumbo's base in season 7 was so so good.

I also did wonder if maybe I did five artworks of hermitcraft or maybe six/seven artworks of the life series. One representing each winner. Example:

- Grian/season 1: monopoly Mountain castle, sun motifs

-Scott/season 2: the cottage he and his allies based in, star motifs

-Pearl/season 3: her tower, moon motifs

-Martyn/season 4: The mean gills base (I cannot remember the name pls don't hate me), a mars motif? It'll be hard to include the planet in this one. But I can work it out.

-Scar/season 5: trader scars with the sun flower field, earth mofti

-Joel/season 6: Car

They won't be portraits but think of landscaping paintings. Like a mix of Claude Monet mixed with Van Gogh. It would be the same style for the hermitcraft artworks aswell.

Lemme know what you think would work best :DD

I am laughing so much that i see half of those happening on others povs and just thought it was normal stuff they would do

Like yeah cleo totally would just play a "our base" card on someone for no reason what you mean it was her task??

All secret tasks for session 1:

Bdubs: Make your base deeply uncomftable to use and look at

BigB: Dig a big hole. All the way down. At least 3x3. Make it your base if you want.

Scott: Build your base directly and obnoxiously attached to someone else's

Etho: Collect 4 beds without being caught and place them on a shrine

Gem: Convince someone to take a leap of faith and make sure they take no damage

Grian: Make 3 bad jokes and get NO laughs

Scar: Call people anything but their username for at least 30 minutes of the session BUT changed to coming up eith a nickname for anouther player and getting two other players to use it

Impulse: Make cherrywood your entire identity

Martyn: Build an identical base to anouther player

Lizzie: Write a poem about anouther player and read it to then

Skizz: Don't be further than 20 blocks from GeminiTay for 10 minutes. One attempt only

Jimmy: Break 5 crafting tables while they're being used

Mumbo: Make a pun at every opportunity in a 5 minute conversation, minimum of 3 successful puns

Pearl: Get 3 players to gift you their heart

Joel: Plug the life merch in the worst possible times to other players at least 4 times

Tango: Get Scar to take about Star Wars for over 60 seconds

Cleo: Build your base directly above anouther players above the ground

Everyone was successful or well you know unless you count scars as a failure

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!
