Fandom Thoughts

So Limited Life is over, but I’ve still got brain thoughts! Feel free to use these concepts to the detriment of our collective mental health!

The lightning of a final death doesn’t actually strike. It emanates from the persons body as they vanish, and the electricity lights up their nervous system. The area around where the person died smells like ozone, and crackles with static.

If a player were to actually reach 00:00:00 they would hear the crash of thunder and watch as their clock ticked up, 00:00:01. (Based on the fact nobody actually timed out of the series via countdown.)

To go with the last one, death is either impossible or not permanent if their clock is ticking up, and they’re now stuck in that world. All red name bloodlust is gone, just horrible realizations.

When a players curse “activates” it feels like strings weaving through their body, pulling them into position/towards “the inevitable”.

Solidarity was technically supposed to die before he killed Scott in session 7.

Which took off an hour.

And at the start of session 8 Scott talks about how he missed adding four kills to his timer.

Two whole hours.

Which he added back at the start of that session, putting him at 07:28:27.

So if Jimmy hadn’t survived longer than technically possible, he wouldn’t have killed Scott, and in turn Scott would have an extra hour!

Scott would have had 08:28:27.

Here’s a thought.

In third life Grian takes off his armor and jumps off a cliff.

In last life Scott dies via Grian with the kill command.

In double life Pearl died because of the soulmate connection.

Every single death happened within minutes of winning the game, if not in the moment they won. They were on their final life. So one more death would be their last.

In limited life that concept isn’t the same. If you have less than an hour, then yes, one death will be permanent. If you have anything over that? You still have more time. More chances to die.

So how will our winner die?

Will they have less than an hour, and the story ends with one last death?

Will they have more, so they die more than once in quick succession?

Will they have their extra time, only to see it stripped away by commands as they rapidly hit 00:00:00?

Can you imagine if Jimmy dies before he can get to Scott for the time transfer they agreed to. It would almost be like a painful reflection of Bdubs dying before Etho could transfer a life to him in Last Life.

Scott(0) -> Joey Graceffa (1) -> Miranda Sings (2) -> Flula Borg (3) -> Margot Robbie (4) -> Rose Byrn (5) -> Kevin Bacon (6)

Scott (0) -> Shelby Grace (1) -> Felicia Day (2) -> Jensen Ackles (3) -> Karl Urban (4) -> Kate Blanchett (5) -> Harrison Ford (6)

Scott (0) -> HBomb (1) -> Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (2) -> I refuse to go farther than this, it would hurt my brain

Scott (0) -> Jacksepticeye (1) -> Markiplier (2) -> Lilly Singh (3) -> Thomas Sanders (4) -> Leslie Odom Jr. (5) -> Janelle Monáe (6)

Man’s has some weird connections, I just kinda got bored. I’m positive there are stranger connections, but its almost midnight and i dont have that brain power. This is also partially why i just went with Hollywood stuff, also the non Hollywood connections all have YouTube video connections/clips.

(As of episode 5)

Grian will try to kill Jimmy, and Joel will die intervening.

Explanation:

Jimmy dies, a lot. In Last Life his perma death was at the hands of an over zealous Grian. It would not surprise me if that happened again.

Joel is extremely loyal. He has a reputation for being a lone wolf, I genuinely dont know why?? Granted in 3rd Life he wasn’t allied to anyone, but he was pretty protective of his dogs. Meanwhile, in the other series he was aggressively loyal to his teammates (particularly during last session red life situations).

Now for Grian… THIS MAN, oh my goodness this absolute gremlin. He has caused the deaths of so many allies! 3rd Life; killed Scar twice. Last Life; Jimmy (perma death), Mumbo (perma death). Bigb (yes he was killing Ren, but still), caused his and Scars death with a Warden.

Scott always out lives his closest ally.

Martyn alway out lives his purpose.

A lot of people are taking this to mean one curse will win out, and the other will be broken, since they’ve allied with each other.

However, I see a variety of possibilities with this.

You see:

Scott is Martyn’s “purpose”, and dies first. (Scotts curse breaks, Martyn’s doesn’t)

Scott is Martyn’s “purpose”, but Martyn dies first. (Martyn’s curse breaks, Scott’s doesn’t)

Killing Scott is Martyn’s purpose (hi watchers you creepy cryptic fucks), and he succeeds. (Scott’s curse breaks, Martyn’s doesn’t)

Killing Scott is Martyn’s purpose but he fails; someone else kills Scott (Martyn’s curse continues), Martyn dies first (Scott’s curse continues), they die simultaneously (both cursed break).

Best case scenario: they’re still very happily teamed up, and they wind up with the same time on their clocks, and they both reach 0 together. (Neither curse wins out/both break)

Worst case scenario: messy break up where Martyn looses his “purpose”, be that the coral isles, or being allied with Scott. This out living his purpose. Then Martyn dies, Scott’s closes ally for most of the season, or whoever his next closest ally is (probably cleo?). AKA: the everyone suffers/both curses continue option!

It’s so good because it makes me so physically uncomfortable. It’s great sound design, and I HATE it.

It’s specifically played in reference to corrupted childhood. For example s5ep12 The Uncanny Valley, and s5ep16 Mosley Lane… can you guess what season I’m watching rn?

Y’all remember the DnD scene, the one where Eddie says “there is no shame in running,” right?

I’m pretty sure that line, that incredibly emotionally mature line, is supposed to be framed as a bad thing. Which… is a choice??

I mean think about it. His dying words are about how he “didn’t run away this time.” There are little moments where you can see they’re trying to build that up to be heroic. That makes me think the original line is supposed to be framed as cowardly.

However, that doesn’t come across at all for me. The original line reads as an older person, giving an emotionally healthy response, to several younger people, in a stressful situation. Is it during a game? Yes! But the point is still there, it is perfect acceptable to live to fight another day.

Anyway, the Dumbass directors are perpetuating the idea that it’s better to die a glorified death, than take a step back, reassess the situation, and handle it the safest way you can. All because they got too attached to the main cast, can’t afford to expand the cast, and don’t care about good writing.

Superman: Batman stop sacrificing himself when there are people better equipped to survive the danger challenge.

Batman: Superman understand ‘lacking invulnerability’ doesn’t mean ‘made of glass’ challenge.

Superman: You flew a ROCKET INTO A METEOR!!

Batman: Because you could have flown it into the kryptonite meteor, and had a better chance of survival.

Superman/Batman: *squabbling*

Wonder Woman: Wait for everyone to have their coffee before fighting in group spaces challenge.

Flash: Give Flash affection challenge?

Green Lantern: Sure buddy.

Martian Manhunter: I’ll get the coffee.

If you don’t know what I mean watch, For The Man Who Has Everything, it’s a Justice League episode adapted from one of his stories (and he actually likes the adaptation!). It is a beautiful example of how Clark Kent is a genuine person who cares about his loved ones, and would be happy living the simple life. The story also showcases that he knows that’s not possible if he’s Superman, but he sacrifices that life anyway because the hero, the symbol, Superman, is so so important. He can’t step away when he knows he can do more.

UNFORTUNATELY, a lot of his fans get really hung up on the aesthetics of Watchmen, and miss the fact that Superman isn’t in the story! Watchmen is a story without a “pure of heart” paragon hero. Did some of them try to be? Yes, but every character had something that made it impossible for them to keep it up. Especially since the “team” doesn’t seem to actually like each other.

Watchmen isn’t “what if the JL was more realistic?” At least the way I read it, it seems to be more, “what if the JL were never friends, and never had anyone driving them to be remotely emotionally healthy”. AKA a story that can’t exist with Superman in it.

(There are other BIG issues with the characters of Watchmen that caused them to be Like That, but that’s beside the point rn.)

TL;DR I like the work, hate the loud fan club.

To be clear I watched only the first episode of Bleach and that was like, seven (?), years ago… that’s basically it.

However, given my horrid anime consumption, and understanding of tropes associated with the main man:

Very strong/brash, probably jumps off of things they shouldn’t

All the points in charisma, whether or not they realize this

One brain cell they borrow from their from the best friend character who has five, OR that they share with every other dumbass protagonist

Probably loves food, possibly willing to do something stupid for a snack

Golden Retriever, except when their friends are in trouble and they get prickly (red eyes take warning etc.)

Aww, this new branching video is cute what should I pick next… wait a second…..

Mark…
