You have 90 minutes to complete. (original poem: r.a.)
In participation of the MCYT Recursive Exchange 2024 hosted by @mcytrecursive!

2. Do you understand what you’ve done?
(Please circle your answer.)
a. I couldn't do anything
b. I lost my balance
c. I doomed us both
3. It's been god knows how long since you felt phantom hands on your neck and there is no one in sight. If you were soul-bound to him and both of you died at the same time then why are you still waiting in the void?
Please answer clearly, in full sentences.
(Not a correct answer:I just wanted to see him one more time).

SECRET LIFE SPOILERS:
But the fact that Mumbo’s last words were almost exactly the same as they were in Last Life. Both times he is killed directly after Jimmy.
Last Life: OH! OH! JIMMY’S GONE! What! You just killed Jimmy!! You just killed Jimmy!
Secret Life: OOOOOH! JIMMY’S GONE! Jimmy’s gone!
Both times he immediately cries out with a sort of shocked and anguished cry of despair and disbelief at the loss of his friend only to join him soon after. It’s like the Canary’s Miner that refused to leave its bird. Once the Canary dies, that is usually the Miners signal to get out or death will follow, but when the time came, he couldn’t do it. The Miner is so overcome with grief at the loss of its bird that he can’t bring himself to leave it behind, and so he is inevitably lost too.

BRo i have not slept, all the videos for secret life release between 10 pm and 4 am and as soon as i found out what happened with the canary curse i had to draw it so i pulled an allnighter, i hope you like it.
i am going to bed now , the sun is up.
this bird is so so dumb and so so stupid but i love him so much
also how dare he slightly break the curse right as it half way through working on a canary curse animatic.

I made a series of card designs based on the canon and fanon curses from the life series!
The Canary Curse:
Based on the tale of miners bringing a canary in a coal mine to test the air. If the bird dies, the air is unsafe. This player will die first.
The Widow Curse:
This player is fated to final kill a close ally, friend, or partner. They make close connections that ultimately are betrayed, purposely or accidentally.
The Red Insanity Curse
This player will go insane once reaching their final life and gain a bloodlust that reaches beyond anything in their previous lives. They become reckless and completely unhinged.
The Enchanter Curse
This player gains an unhealthy obsession with enchanting tables to the point of life loss, endangering allies, and losing everything.
The Coal Miner Curse
Also a reference to the canary in a coal mine. This player will die directly after the canary
The Isolation Curse
This player will die alone away from anyone else, or to an act by their own hand.
The Allies Blessing
Rather than a curse, this card is a blessing. Allies or players who have landed themselves in good graces with this player will come to win a season in the near future.
The Winners Curse:
The final player of a season, the winner, will die after winning. To their own hand, or by other means.
Some curses are now broken! I still wanted to draw them despite that lol
Are there any you think I missed?

Definitely not the final product, but here's the concept for the Life Series!Jimmy Solidarity cardigan idea that's been rattling around in my brain for a while. I've already got a manufacturer lined up and I'm currently refining the design/working on a tech pack! The image above is the original idea, but it's changed a bit since then. Keep an eye out because I plan to post the final design soon as well as an interest form for any intrigued parties!
(I also have ideas for a bunch more people! I've got rough drafts for Tango, Cub, Grian, Skizz, Martyn, Scott, Xisuma, and Zed!)
