Question: Whats a fandom (or a piece of a fandom) you indulge in but are too ashamed to admit that you actively avoid doing anything that would expose you? (Ex. Liking on an alt, “what u looking at” “NOTHING”, not following creators if you cant private your follows). And why?
(Totally not me in the example)
YAH YAH YAH, DESERT DUO, RENS RETURN, JOEL GETTING MOTION SICK, YADA YADA…

My Champion Gifs
I am planning on making “My Life Series Champion” gifs of the members who didnt win. Kinda like a poke at the “Watchers Favorite” thing, but like, more accurate to how we actually are.
I have many possible styles which I have used Impulse (and later Lim Scott) as an example
First is the speed, I could make the gifs go at 0.2 speed (1st) or 0.1 speed (2nd)
The title can also be either Rainbow, or go R-Y-G/G-Y-R. The first is same color as the hearts, 2nd is opposite (Both are in 0.2)
i could (with much struggle) also use more then one skin for those members who sometimes change their skin based on the group they were in like Ren and Scar or the life theyre on like Scott and once again Scar as seen below with Limited Life Scott (Based on heart color)
I don’t know how to effectively explain the criteria of this project so its fair to assume im willing to use any skin for any person, if I do Bdubs “beaten up” skin because its more iconic (within Life Series) than his usual skin. If someone wants Jimmys old skin, then ill do that. Im just looking for input from the community.
Tbh, he has the red already in his skin, and those eyes….
im addicted to making these by now
White background
~~~~~~~~~~~
With a background change
~~~~~~~~~
Background change and he slowly changes skins
~~~~~~~~~ If you want any other variation let me know, I will reblog this post with new variations
Somone should redesign this sticker but its Jimmy and it saids “Bad Boys Club”
I saw it in a dream
I did NOT edit the gif because I used the wrong skin for Ren and Secret Life Scar, I dont know what your talking about
Ok ok, you caught me, heres the original
Hey, If you like this meme gif i made, im making more, check these out
Update: Its finished, I managed to put my 2 functioning braincells together to put a playlist together of my least favorite genre of music. Thanks for the challenge @hybbart 👍
Ps. Im also taking Playlist requests, just leave an ask :>
What kind of music do you think raau Tango and Jimmy like to listen to? Do you feel like they have the same or different music tastes? 🤔
Tango's a rock/metal and noise/ambient sorta guy and Jimmy isn't super picky as long as there's fun lyrics to sing. That said the thing they listen to most and enjoy together the most is country, especially the sorta stuff you find at like a pub karoake night, cause that's most of what they have and feels good to listen to on the ranch and road.
The mix I made for their road trips is a lot of the chicks, Reba, Toby Keith, Dolly Parton, and Johnny Cash. Specific songs not from those guys are Mud on the tires, truck got stuck, all my exes live in texas, ten rounds with jose cuervo, whiskey lullaby, I like it I love it, my front porch looking in, and she's in love with the boy.
Some non country stuff is a couple of duran duran, rem, barenaked ladies, mariana's trench, and train songs, gods gonna cut em down, the impression that I get, adventure of a lifetime, sweet summer samba, and shotgun.
I think the only think they disagree on is probably metal and such that has harsh noises, cause Jimmy can't mimic it without hurting his throat and it's a bit too much for his ears. Tango isn't a big fan of musical tracks either probably.

alright now, g’night
Life Series as Birds
I had the oddest sudden fixation to do some “light” bird research and determine that if each member of the Life Series was depicted as an avian, what bird would they depict. (may become a thread of changes)
So Grian is almost unanimously depicted as a Parrot, more specifically a Scarlet Macaw due to Season 7 “Pesky Bird”. As well as the birds sassy additude.
Same as Grian, possibly even more, Jimmy is commonly depicted as a Canary due to the Canary in a Coal Mine.
For Mumbo, I felt like the Northern Cardinal would be a nice fit due to its vibrant red and black coloring. Cardinals are also symbols of loyalty and devotion, rather fitting for someone who tends to be loyal to his allies. Cardinals are also often associated with passed loved ones visiting relatives in the form of Cardinals, which would fit seeing as Mumbo is usually one of the first out of the series.
Tango was actually the last one I chose, due to this, and an attempt to give each member a different bird, it was difficult. After some further research, I decided on the Whistling Kite for the reason that it's nicknamed one of Australia's "Firebirds" for their use of fire to catch prey.
Believe it or not, Impulse was actually the member who inspired it. Out of curiosity, I looked up Arizona's national bird and the Cactus Wren popped up and I could envision Impulse as a Cactus Wren with the browns and golden yellow with a nice touch of white.
As evident above, my first idea was looking up national birds. Despite being a small bird, The shade of grey that Canada’s national bird, the Grey Jay, has is similar to Etho’s minecraft skin hair color. Grey Jay's are also seen as a good omen, similarly to how people seem to gravitate towards Etho almost like hes a good omen or a good luck charm.
No matter all the birds I looked into, my brain kept saying Skizz for a Blue Jay. Blue Jays are associated with joy, happiness, along with some mischief, however, I would like to confess that I have yet to watch Skizz's pov of any of the seasons so i'm not as familiar with his personality as i am the others so if this choice seems uncharacteristic I apologize, but just imagine fanon Skizz with dashing sky blue wings.
Originally I was going to put Lizzie as a hummingbird because they are pollinators, small, and adorable. However, hummingbirds are green and im a sucker from “Small” Smallishbeans Joel. Not to mention how hummingbirds can sometimes be hostile with one another alot like how Joel tends to targets everyone regardless of who it is.
For Lizzie I decided a parakeet was a good choice for Lizzie because they're small, cute, and colorful. Parakeets are also very social and affectionate birds with lots of personality alot like how Lizzie is.
Parakeet was originally what I chose for Scott, but then I learned about Kenya’s national bird, the gorgeous Lilac-Breasted Roller which is perfect for Scott as it reminds me of his Empires Chromia outfit and all the beautiful things he creates. I mean LOOK AT IT!
For BigB, I decided to bestow him with my states bird, the Eastern Bluebird. Bluebirds represent joy, happiness, and luck. The Blue and orangish brown coat reminds me of Big B’s color palette of a blue sweater with a brown cookie on it.
Cleo has high Great Horned Owl vibes and you can’t convince me otherwise. Symbols of protection and not tolerating deception. GH Owls are also super intimidating in their size and appearance, fitting for the cutthroat Cleo.
During all of this, I almost gave up on the opportunity for Martyn as a Woodpecker. No need for further explanation, but I'll give you the symbolism: Optimism, new opportunities, and creativity which matches Martyn. (Edit: IVE JUST BEEN INFORMED THAT THE WOODPECKER IS ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH MARS SO YAH)
Ironically enough, I decided Gem would make a good Barn Owl, their white coat and owls being a figure of wisdom reminded me of Gem's Empires Season 1 as well as her enjoyment of birch. Barn Owls are also good hunters to it fits her like a glove
I wouldn't give up the opportunity to choose a hawk for Mr. GoodTimesWithScar.The Hawk I chose is the Cooper's Hawk. But really I chose a random Washington state hawk that I thought suited Scar.
For our favorite crazy Aussie, only Australia's national bird will do. I believe the Emu suits Pearl well because one, its national bird, and two, Emus are one of the dorkiest kinds of birds and have a lot of personality (and thievery skills).
For Ren, I almost went with the Peacock, but couldn't invision Ren as a Peacock, so instead of going the Royalty Route, I went the pun route. Ren…….as a Wren. A Musician Wren, Fitting for the Theater Nerd of the Life Series, no take backs.
For Bdubs, I went with the Orchard Oriole, A small bird that builds with, you guessed it, MOSS!
I might add on or talk about members as other birds and yah
