JArLo Is ToXiC! SToP SHiPpInG THeM!

“jArLo Is ToXiC! sToP sHiPpInG tHeM!” 

Okay, I’m not really passionate about the ship but you guys don’t understand how fucking hilarious Jarlo is as a concept. And it’s bc of this: John is a brat and Arlo is the only one who can discipline him. He wouldn’t take any shit from this whiny motherfucker. 

“bUt WhAt aBoUt SeRaPhInA?”

Not to hate on Jeraphina but it really is not for me. You have Seraphina who approaches John like “I can fix him 🥺” and “nooo you’re not a monster, you’re too sexy aha” 

then there’s Arlo coming up with his fists ready like “I can fix him 🔫”

Normal Life Series Viewers: Huh that’s a funny symbol on the Secretkeeper’s face I wonder what it means. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Watcher Lore Fanatics: *Pointing at conspiracy board* THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!!!

See the thing is I don’t think any of the Evo squad walked away from Evo as watchers except Grian…but none of them walked away unchanged. And a lot of what changed them was the Watchers and so that left it’s mark.

Like, Jimmy as the Canary is obvious. One of the first on the server and the last to leave and now doomed to be the first to fall forever.

Martyn is the one who escaped. Or so it seems. But something is off and it’s almost like he’s haunted. Or maybe hunted.

Netty…Netty is like Jimmy. She was there on day one and she preceded him off the server by fractions of seconds when it finally died. She saw up close what the Watchers are made of and the power they wield. A specific flavor of magic that she got her hands on and refused to release. Martyn is lost in the code. Netty walks through it.

BigB and Pearl… It’s no coincidence that they became the Nosy Neighbors and were Always Watching. They aren’t Watchers. Not really. But they See things Players aren’t meant to see. And sometimes they can do more than See. Sometimes BigB can speak and be spoken to by entities other than Players, and sometimes Pearl can walk where Players aren’t supposed to.

And they all underwent some physical changes too. Jimmy and Pearl’s were the most noticeable; the changing colors of their wings, but they were not the only ones.

“We are those who watch”

Tango: wait Martyn didn’t you already try to guess my task

Martyn, hair moving as if by a breeze no one else feels, eyes glazing over and glowing, standing unnaturally still as his shadow morphs into the closest approximation of his Listener-touched body that any mortal could comprehend- an amalgamation of wings and hands and blinded eyes. The skies growing dark, plunging the world into a darkness that somehow feels cold and clawing. Whispers in languages no human tongue has ever spoken creep closer, like flashes caught out of your periphery, always there but never to be identified. The eerie sense that not matter how hard you struggle there will always be those who Watch and those who Listen tugging on your strings:

Martyn, a moment later, completely unfazed as he and the world go back to normal again: voices in my head say nah. You lose blaze boy

I have Thoughts(TM) about Mr. Martyn Inthelittlewood's Eyes and Ears Life Series AU and the potential for other symbols in a Minecraft fashion.
