TW: Murder, Suicide, Influenced killing
So bloodlust in the Life Series is quite common and wellknown with the premise basically being that red-lives are splashed with this effect of a murderous rage to murder those around them. Regardless of their allies or opponments/rivals.
My headcannon or idea is that the only moment when Grian was enveloped or persuaded by bloodlust was during the final fight in 3rd Life. From the POV of Scar during the events of 3rd Life, it's inferred that bloodlust are more instinctual and a force of encourgement and the "kills" Grian committed, were more of an assistance and allyship to Scar.
Going more headcannon-omy, Grian's final fight against Scar had him receive an altered bloodlust as a final gift from the Watchers during that Life game. This kinda of bloodlust that would have Grian have tunnel vision onto escaping no matter how the deed is executed. In turn, killing his partner or ally, Scar, in his rampage for freedom but would end up trapping him. Until he ended his life to end his torment but also restart the cycle of the Life Games.
So basically Grian's only instance of bloodlust was during the final duel in 3rd Life against Scar where it was placed upon him by the Watchers as a final gift or punishment. That would result in him killing his ally.
:P that all for now.
Some drastic thinking here but do you guys remember the obelisk Iskall built back in the earlier episodes of season 10 to cover up his monstrosity of a starter base?
Well the obelisk, made out of stone and enscribed with Standard Galatic Alphabet (SGA), may have a vital role in connecting the world of the Life Series to Hermitcraft.
So basically an obelisk represents monuments, commerating the dead, representing monarchy and honouring the gods. But in the Kane Chronicles (by Rick Riordan a classic), obelisks where used as a mode of transportation through teleportation and so I'm theorising that through the inscriptions written on Iskall's obelisk, similar to the symbols surrounding in fanart depicting, is a link or holds some importance to the world of Life Series.
This obelisk could hold the memories or bring people not normally in Hermitcraft but are in the Life Series, eg. Big B, and could create a crossover or dramatic moments when lore happens. And if hermitmembers where to come in contact to it, a surge of memories or flashbacks retelling the events of the Life Series could be placed in their brains for the opportunity of AnGsT.
Brainrotting idea since the beginning of hermitcraft :P
Not sure if this theory or headcannon about secret life already exists but here it is.
Since the Taskmaster is a varient or a job set by the high council of Watchers to a Watch as a job, they are conscious and give deliberate tasks to the competitors. These tasks were chosen to either play with the competitors' mind, alliances, etc which would inturn benefit or impact them.
So with this in mind, the tasks given to scar which forced him to play an antangonistic role in the games were a punishment intended for Grian for his "disobedience" against the Watchers. Through Third Life and the following Life Games, it was shown to the Watchers that Grian deeply cared for Scar. Doing what he thought was best for him by either pushing him away to protect him. And through Scar's villanous tasks, they (the Watchers,) intended to hurt Grian through Scar as said punishment.
