I think the reason the women of the life series get categorized as "the braincell" is because they are often better at surviving and being careful. Maybe you do have a point but they are also just less likely to die to stupidity than most other members.

For example in the impossible minecraft series all 3 of the women have far less deaths than the men. I think it's a pretty good visualisation, even if it's not from the life series itself. It's still the same people playing and making decisions.

(I wanna reiterate that I have nothing against just headcanoning siblings in a vacuum. For example I am partial to Nosy Neighbors headcanoned as siblings, because Pearl isn't usually put up on a "big sister" pedestal to take care of BigB, and I can absolutely see how their LimL dynamic could be interpreted as sibling-like)

Yes, they're absolutely competent, but why do they get the mother and big sister labelling because of that fact alone? Plenty of others, eg Scott and Grian, perform very well most times, but you don't see them being labelled dads. In fact, I have seen both of them be credited for other characters' success (which I disagree with but I digress) without any dad or big brother labelling. Eg in 3L Jimmy's and Scar's case, Scott and Grian respectively are often treated as the breadwinners, and I do wonder whether fandom's labelling would've been different if Jimmy and Scott weren't canonical husbands and Scarian wasn't as prominent of a ship

When it comes to the male characters, the dad label is applied to those who have been perceived as acting fatherly on the Life series or on HC, like Impulse. Whether or not you agree with that, what about the women makes them caretakers? Just because they're good at the game? Was Pearl taking care of the Mounders in a way that sets her apart from them? Is she a caretaker because she survived the longest? Is Lizzie the caretaker in WL because she's coupled with Jimmy and Scar who the fandom seems to believe need protection and are incompetent otherwise? Did that make her become a caretaker? Cleo I can understand somewhat on the surface level of them literally being a mom in LimL (same with Lizzie although I personally don't headcanon seablings outside of ESMP1)

Yes, the women perform better in general, so I can understand them being labelled the braincells to some degree, but again, it reads much more like trying to find less incriminating terms to put them into stereotypical motherly and sisterly caretaker roles, and I just don't see anything of the sort from the series to convey that such dynamics are present. When every other teamup expectation post I see labels only the women as competent and their teammates as being at their care, I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to take away from that. This stereotyping, especially when it takes prevalence over actual character, is very misogynistic, and, imo it's also misogynistic idolization applying such a stereotype because of competency when in many areas, Pearl for example, can't be described with the blanket terms of "sane" or "wise", let alone the "best" or "most competent", although she's certainly good at the game and very smart. I don't know if I'm alone in just not understanding what about any of the women outside of Cleo's caricature of a role in LimL convey motherly or sisterly characteristics, or in not perceiving them as the objective best players with the best mindsets etc (I don't see any player in that way)

do you have any thoughts on lizzie & pearl as a duo? do you think they have interesting similarities or work as character foils ? :0

anyway, love your art and animatics !! hope you're doing well !!

Thank you, I'm doing better!

Lizzie and Pearl are AWESOME I do not ever stop thinking about that bone scene in SL. Joel basically on his knees begging for her heart and Lizzie doesn't even hesitate to give it to Pearl instead for fulfilling her demand. I'm actually henceforth mostly regurgitating the thoughts of my friend Wildcatcargo because she was able to verbalize their appeal much better to me, which to boil it down: Lizzie is drawn to the same characteristics in Pearl that she is drawn to in Joel without any hindrance of bias (Joel being her husband)

I hope I don't get burned at stake for this but I'm personally a big aro Lizzie truther, especially in Jizzie as that's the most prominent source of examples. I do not doubt that there is affection and love there, but in situations where it matters, Lizzie values what she can be given to aid in her survival foremost. She is much more selfish than selfless (and good for her) imo, and I think that shows in her relationships, like the way she gets protection and valuables out of Joel by merely asking or appealing to him even when she is the sole beneficiary of the exchange

Pearl in that bone scene, in trying to accomplish her secret task, put greater health at risk than what Lizzie's heart could have healed and got the bone first as a result, where Joel had been less brash and more careful before also losing more health than redeemable. Pearl so quickly doing as told and showcasing a protective quality probably appealed to Lizzie a lot. She had also chosen Pearl to aid her in Decked Out after finding out about her "biggest deck" lol, and she stuck with Pearl in Impossible SMP for protection, because she could ask Pearl to walk in front to avoid potential risk to herself and Pearl would just do it. Again this is all stuff Wildcatcargo pointed out to me so thank you Cat

Pearl and Lizzie have really been to my liking ever since SL and I do think a teamup of them two would be awesome but possssssibly not ideal for Pearl? Lizzie even in being selfish is not usually malicious and I highly doubt she ever would be towards Pearl, it's in her best interest to keep Pearl around but Pearl is also someone who really needs healthy connection (especially after WL) and I think Lizzie would need to be prodded a bit for that. BUT Lizzie is also often brash and blunt which I think would encourage Pearl to be more carefree and them messing around would be healthy for her. I also see no reason for Lizzie to not remain loyal and a stable allyship would also do Pearl a lot of good. Not that her last allyship wasn't technically stable but it certainly tested her for her place within it constantly to the point of others' faults often being relegated to her

I don't really see them as foils though, I've been told that some people see a parallel in Pearl's loneliness in DL and Lizzie's in SL, but there's not much meat there for me personally. I can definitely see the connection being drawn but without anything else to go off of, I don't personally see much else to it aside from the coincidental similarity, but if you do, feel free to tell me about it!

So I'm loving all the character dissections, and especially how you've opened my eyes about Pearl and Scott. I recently was re-watching Last Life again, partly to see Scott and Pearl be friends before they had their "break-up." And I honestly forgot about Pearl killing Joel after the Boogey kill.

What really stuck out to me though, is that SCOTT was the one encouraging her to kill him, even after he already died, and Pearl likewise seemed unsure at first about doing so. Any deep thoughts about this whole interaction and what Scott might've been thinking when he kept telling Pearl to kill him?

Oh I actually did not remember that but you're right, Scott encouraged Pearl to "defend herself" whilst Joel was basically pleading for his life lol. I guess you could take this as the first vague instance of Scott having it out for Joel. This does change the point I was originally trying to exemplify...

I brought it up as a point of contrast that Pearl killed Joel for killing Scott even when it was against the rules (even if she was unsure) while Scott, when Pearl was being attacked by Lizzie, froze and watched her die. I think Pearl's willingness to commit to the kill in spite of her uncertainty still counts but the fact that Scott was the one adamantly telling her to finish Joel off is.. hrrm. I can't say whether it was out of previous contempt or if he was just being petty over a fair kill. It could be that he was holding a grudge for Joel burning down the Flower Valley wall in 3L. I will happily take this as Mounders crumbs though that Pearl hesitated that much
