The Human Ability To Escape From Things Is Truly Unmatched

Might be a weird compliment but I think part of why Cleo and Scott are such an effective team in the life series is because they're both really really good at bluffing.

Cleo is very outright with the fact that she doesn't consider herself very strong at pvp, even compared to other members of the server. But people are still very consistently scared of them. Why? Well, I think a lot of it is that Cleo acts like someone who is really good at pvp. They're often very threatening, very overtly aggressive, as a preventative measure, just to make sure they're never seen as an easy target. Cleo tells everyone that she can and will ruin them at the first slight against her, and frankly, people aren't interested in testing that. Even if Cleo doesn't actually consider themself to be the strongest fighter, it matters more how they're perceived by other people. Fire- which Cleo is very famous for using as an easy punishment for any wrongdoing against her- is also a very good threat display. Usually minecraft fire is, honestly, not that hard to deal with, and the damage is usually superficial (unless you're joel and just kinda stand in the fire until you die), but the thing about fire is that it's big and dramatic. Surround yourself in flames twice your size and make sure you don't flinch when they point their weapons at you and people will be scared of you without you having to fight, because you look like more effort than you're worth.

Scott isn't overtly threatening in the same way most of the time, but he achieves a very similar effect with his ability to keep consistently calm and collected. I've watched multiple scenes where people come to kill Scott just to literally panic and backtrack as soon as he acknowledges with calm amusement or irritation instead of seeming threatened (i also think this is how mumbo got him in wild life- scott is literally so used to startling people with a mostly calm acknowledgment of their murder attempts that he genuinely didn't expect mumbo to actually still activate his trap, even when scott was standing on it). I've watched multiple scenes where Scott is objectively outmatched or even outnumbered in a fight just for the others involved to falter or outright retreat because Scott wasn't acting like someone in any danger, because even if he's on four hunger and one heart, he often still talks like he isn't scared. If you he just smile or roll your eyes and don't flinch back from them, people will eventually get really confused, wary, or tired, and will, again, decide you are more effort than you're worth.

It's honestly a testament to their intelligence, social and situational awareness, and emotional control, that both Cleo and Scott are so good at bluffing (albeit with slightly different forms of it). I don't know how to wrap up this post, they're just really good at this competition, thanks for coming to my ted talk.

this is my first ever animation and first post on tumblr🫠

hope someone enjoys this

I think toy doctors are so nice actually like i remember being a little heartbroken kid when one of my beloved stuffed animals got old and torn up and my mom just threw him out. And i know what it would have meant to me, to have someone lovingly stitch him back up instead so i could love him just a little longer. And I’m really glad there are little kids out there who get to see pictures of their stuffed animals and dolls with little fake hospital beds and casts as they “rest & heal” before returning to them good as new. Like what a sweet thing to do with your life.

Bitches love reblogging this post every Tuesday the 18th

Hello there . You asked for BigB writing advice and I come to thee with it. Disclaimer I may be slightly off because Roblox B also affects how I write him personally and MC BigB and Roblox BigB are different in a few areas !!

Anyway! For dialogue, when he does talk (he doesn’t usually talk in groups of 4+), he tends to stutter a bit. Not always, but enough. He does tend to tease and be a little mischievous, teasing someone in one sentence and then complimenting them in the next. King of backhanded compliments, tbh

He’s also pretty relaxed, usually. I’ve generally found that being taken by surprise / jumpscared is what scares him the most. He also does show nervousness around people, but he only expresses it in private - around the person, he puts on a smile and seems like he’s not scared at all, even if they threaten him. Hence how you get things like the Terry situation in the face of ZombieCleo range

He doesn’t really do allies? He’s untrusting of the allies he does have, tending to keep people at arm’s length, aside from genuine close connections (Nosey Neighbours). He’ll hold things in the alliance against them while simultaneously trying to fix things. He’s good at the social game, just doesn’t really have the connections to utilise it.

I hope this helps, people who have slightly different takes please refute me :]

This is amazingly helpful omg, thank you so so much kind Tumblr stranger

Gimme some angsty red life Martyn in Limited Life, maybe with Scott and/or Impulse in the background :D

Probbaly could've spent more time on this, but oh well.

I've also never drawn Martyns LL skin before, and rarely draw him, so I should really create a solid design.

Boss is asleep, cannot stop me from frogposting

I think- Pearl, you deserve this more.

Do you think Jesus ever got many carpenter requests after he started preaching? Like did anyone ever go up to him and be like; "My Lord! My Lord!" And the disciples are all: "The Master won't do anymore miracles today." But obviously Jesus is like; "Yes, my child?" And they just ask what his basic rate is to fix their door.

Thank god for Sketchfab. Drawing the car was so worth it
