And here is it all by its lonesome self. Its beautiful and apart of this post: https://traveleroffarawayplaces.tumblr.com/post/691035230703960064/so-this-is-how-it-totally-went-right-lol-i

Wooo!

I think I have a super power. I’ve been watching the life series for a while, and it’s weird because the person who I was watching always won. Like in 3rd life I watched Grian for the majority since the start. Then from last life I watched Scott’s pov. Now in double life I was watching from pearl’s pov. Am I like somehow magical???!!

Like seriously, I watched them from the start and now I am so confused.. do I have a power of watching who wins?

Ep1 Pearl: The sun is warm in my skin. I am joyous and full of life. I am excited to meet people and to explore! Martin is my best friend! Oh! Doggie!! Let's go explore the nether! I am so excited. I wonder who my soulmate is? I'm want to meet them! Pork chops!

Ep2 Pearl: screaming crying sobbing. everything i touch turns to dust. all i love shall perish, why hast the universe forsaken me? i am a cursed being, unloveable and loathsome.

Hello! You asked for characters and numbers so, uh, here's some :D

Characters: Scott, Gem, Martyn, Joel, Pearl

Numbers: 5, 3, 6, 4, 10

Oh my gosh Rain thank you sm!!! I got a drawing ask from deityoftherain I feel so famous lol. Unfortunately I don’t have the time to get to all of them right now, but I’ve got one done, and hopefully in the future when I have more time I can do more of them (I'm particularly excited by the one I have planned for Scott, flower husbands my beloved they were literally my first fandom love, so I neeeed to do a piece with them)

but yeah here is my piece for my number 4 song: Sleep, by My Chemical Romance, with Pearlescent Moon

I wanted it to feel like a glitchy and vaguely haunted old cassette tape, because that’s always what I picture when I hear the recording in the beginning of the song. I didn’t quite manage to capture the vibe I was going for, but I’m proud of the drawing overall. Also I messed up the lyrics slightly- it’s good night not good bye -and it’s driving me insane but I don’t have time to fix it lol. Also 4:42 is the length of the song. Ramble about why I chose red pearl for this piece under the cut (I will admit it was something of a coin flip between whether this song would go to Pearl or Joel, but in the end there was another song on the list that I really wanted to use Joel for. Also Joel would never feel bad about the murder lol /silly) vvvvvvvvv

This song feels so Pearl to me because it’s talking all about how haunted the person feels (technically The Patient from the black parade but I just tried to go off of what the individual song is about rather than the album lore) by all of the bad things they’ve done in the past, claiming not to feel bad and saying their irredeemable, while simultaneously condemning themselves and torturing themselves with guilt. They don’t think they’re worthy of being saved because of “the monsters that [they’ve] been” and sort of switching back and forth between a sort of morbid joy at the freedom of giving in to being unforgivable because they don’t have to search for forgiveness and a terrible sorrow and regret and fear at the destruction in their past, the loss that they caused themselves and are now suffering for, the guilt over the people they’ve hurt. They see no redemption for themselves, and feel both pain at the horrors that set them on this path and peace at letting their worst natures consume them, no longer having to try to walk backwards and instead marching forwards on the path of darkness and, if we tie it back to the album lore, the parade of death. If you have to be there, why not take the lead?

One very angry trip from The Relation before disaster.

I love this screenshot so much. Perfectly timed.

Tilly Death Do We Part

Time laps + little ramble under cut

Time laps (warning bright flashes)

Time laps is 30 seconds

I made this because I was like “what if double life was set in Pokémon,” then I thought “Tilly would definitely be a lycanroc.” I would have made her night form but I actually think night time lycanroc is hard to draw and too ugly to spend that much time on (you can see at the beginning I was planning on drawing Pearl with all three forms) Despite that choice this drawing took an 1 hour and 30 minutes. I have other in my head but I not sure if I’m going to make them.
