I love making the Life series more dramatic than it really is so let's talk about it.
The thing with Scott and Martyn as a duo that interests me this season has to do with what we as a fanbase have defined as a "curse". The curses given to players by the fanbase are built on pure coincidence. Example: Jimmy always being first out. We have no idea if this will happen this season and it feels unlikely to happen a 4th time. However, for Scott and Martyn's curses, one of them will break their curse and the other will fall victim to it again.
Obviously, I'd like to remind the court that these are just coincidences. This series isn't scripted, everything that happens is unplanned so how on Earth could I predict anything to hold true here?
Let's start with Scott, shall we? If you find yourself as Scott's closest ally you are DOOMED BY THE NARRATIVE!!! So far, Scott out lives all his closest partners.
3rd life, Jimmy died before Scott.
Last life, Pearl died before Scott.
Double life, Cleo died before Scott.
Meaning Martyn is doomed to lose too, right? Not necessarily.
Looking at Martyn's curse, it is basically the same as Scott's. Martyn devotes himself to one person or a whole nation and will always outlive them.
3rd life, Ren died before Martyn and most of Dogwarts also falls with only BigB remaining once Martyn is gone.
Last life, every other Southlander died before Martyn.
Double life, Cleo died before Martyn.
So really, neither of them are at a higher risk than the other. It sort of feels like it... just balances out really. One of them will die before the other. One will break their curse and the other will be doomed for yet another season to watch the ones they care for die.
[Cutting the curtains for a moment, they both have this curse probably because they're both survivors. Scott and Martyn have gotten pretty high placings each season due to their intense and obvious attempts to stay alive. Scott getting 10th, 1st, and then 2nd. Martyn getting 6th, 3rd, and then 3rd again. So I think they're a very good duo this season and I like their chances to atleast place high.]
Thinking about how Glinda never really hated that hat. She actually really loved it. It was dear to her. Her granny made it for her and probably played pretend with her, making Glinda’s dreams of becoming a sorceress come true. Glinda was just embarrassed when Pfannee and Shen Shen found it, so she pretended to hate it.
Maybe when she said she didn’t hate anyone that much to give it away, she really meant she didn’t love anyone that much— she didn’t trust anyone to understand how she could love a hat so hideous.
Maybe she knew Elphaba would understand. Maybe she knew Elphaba would take care of it.
And maybe Elphaba proved her right. And now, Glinda gets to admire as the most fearless person she has ever met cherishes her hat as dearly as she did.
Did you know that in the US it is both legal AND common medical practice to perform forced sex reassignment on newborn babies???
Okay - Conservatives, now that I have your attention
The babies are Intersex and their parents are sometimes told it’s a medical necessity (its not) or straight up lied to about what surgery their child is receiving.
So maybe be mad about that instead??
Thank you to all the animators and storyboarders. Thank you to all the voice actors and editors. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this show, no matter how little. Thank you. From every part of my entire being and more, thank you.

I will forever be upset that we were deprived of so much owl house content
Help fund the final season of the Sheridan Tapes! If you havent checked out this podcast its definitely worth a listen.
"In 2018 famed horror writer Anna Sheridan disappeared, leaving behind only a box of mysterious cassette tapes. Detective Sam Bailey is tasked with piecing together what happened to Anna Sheridan from the seemingly impossible encounters she recorded, but as the scattered pieces of the puzzle come together, Bailey discovers the picture is even stranger - and more dangerous - than it seemed"
This expresses my feelings precisely.
