I think I’m going insane over Watcher lore ngl

Theories More Pt. 6

So the members who currently interact and talk with Grian from the members of Evolution SMP include Jimmy (Solidarity Gaming), Martyn (InTheLittleWood), BigB (bigbst4) and Pearl (PearlescentMoon). And these listed people (their online personas ofc) all have connections and links to the lore of the Life Series and more specifically the Watchers who also originated from the Evo Smp who then migrated to the Life Series (Secret Life).

My theory is that through their efforts of the attempted retrival of Grian and restorement of Evo after the Ender Dragon fight, the Watchers cursed them with their curses revealing or unearthing themselves during the Life Series.

These curses include :

Jimmy - The Canary Curse, (a curse set into a player's code to remind them of the tradegy they bring and the warnings they provide)

Martyn and Pearl - Insanity (a curse brought upon those who protected the weak idk)

BigB - A Tragedy Upon Those Around Them (the curse for the one who cared too much)

A note for Martyn is that his insanity only occurs momentairily and in bursts when compared to Pearl because of his connections to the Listeners who rescued him during the stage when the curse was becoming permanent in the code. Only altering the curse to happen in weaker bursts and sporadically.

Adding into headcannony ideas, the curses established cant be removed either manually from an admin or a defective Watcher. This is because the curse or the code was established so long ago thats its been incorporated and permanetly embodied in the player's code.

So ye the curses of Evo on the remaining members. :D

Just got to the end of season 1 of Rise yet again, and this time it’s really given me some extra thoughts and perspective about Leo’s behavior in the movie…

So we know at first Leo is goofing around like he usually does after the Dark Armor spits Draxum out. Undoubtedly with a huge boost of confidence from just defeating their Big Bad season 1 villain by merely creating total chaos and throwing plans out the window. After all, “we be we” right? Which leads Splinter and Raph to yell at him a lot while he just constantly insists “they’ve got this”. Which, sure, but Leo baby you have to actually fight and get focused for that to be true 😂 But it keeps Splinter’s doubts up all the while they’re moving through the Battle Nexus arc, and Leo doesn’t really get Splinter’s approval for his while big plan until he proves he knew what he was talking about all along and the Nexus crowd is cheering them on

“They love ya, Pops!”

“It was all you my son!”

They spend scene after scene with Leo insisting they’ve got this while working his Face Man routine on the Spiderwoman up until he gets thrown in the “kraken’s den” with Rat Jitsu and it’s not until then after he says it was all part of his plan and Splinter again doubts him, that Leo’s had enough of his lack of faith and failure to really pay attention to his strategies enough to say “How come no one trusts me? None of you have any faith in me, why?” Which, ouch.

And it’s kind of the same when they get back to the rest of the team. We know Raph was very unhappy with Leo bouncing on them even though the plan was actually Splinter’s, and as soon as they get back he chews Leo out for leaving them high and dry. Thus Leo’s “when I said you guys got this I meant that” speech. Raph remarks about how accurate Leo’s guesses were about how things went when they were gone, and when Shredder shows up again Raph asks if Leo’s sure about this to which he replies yet again “Trust me.” And while it may be with a confident grin, after all the previous events of the episode it makes me sad to hear the way Leo asks for trust again.

(Which, I love my guy Raph, but after watching him also doubt Leo for the whole episode it does make it hard to believe when he finally says he does)

And I could go off on a whole other tangent about Bug Busters and how Leo saw everything that Big Mama did coming beforehand unlike his brothers—like altering the terms of the deal Raph made with her at the last second—which allowed him to expect exactly that in Many Unhappy Returns and outsmart her… but I don’t think I need to.

So even though Leo doesn’t see it as much with Raph, he really had to work to earn his Sensei’s and his leader’s trust as a reliable team member. Now to be fair, he did keep his plan on the DL from Splinter up until the end, which makes it a little more unbeatable, but I always felt like he did that because someone who worked for Big Mama was always around and blabbing about what he was going to do around any of them wouldn’t have been smart.

And interestingly enough, the only episodes Raph does use him to do his Face Man thing are after all this, in Todd Scouts and Pizza Puffs, but I don’t think Raph ever did that in season one. “Go in there and do what you do best: face!” This leads me to think it’s the season 1 finale events that showed Raph Leo’s people skills and cleverness really were more useful than he thought

Looking back on all of this it really makes clear now more than ever why Leo had such hesitation about accepting his promotion to leader and acting accordingly.

Because Leo’s proven to know his family a lot better than they know him… which is actually really saddening

Even if you set aside all the other aspects of Leo being used to getting to take it easy, or seeing how when things get really serious the pressure of leadership can really get to you, or how people can actually die, like in the season 2 finale. At the end of the day we know Leo’s insecurity comes a lot from thinking his brothers or family don’t believe in him, so even after being given the leader role, how is he supposed to believe in himself?

Another episode of That’s Not My Hermit bc I’m obsessed
