it’s the way martyn was okay with telling ren his number of lives and not the ahalliance, it’s the way martyn unintentionally helped ren get up to green because he gave him the netherwart he traded with lizzie,
it’s the way martyn responds to mumbo being in mortal peril by accidentally blocking him in with a piglin brute and then blocking off the path above with obsidian; but when he finds ren sad and trying to burn himself just to feel something martyn immediately runs to ren to extinguish it.
martyn laughs and calls ren a loser, but he runs to ren again, sprinting through the forest to save him from the flames, from himself
martyn sits alone with ren at the top of a tower and tells him about a business he’s been thinking about, and ren points out it needs work, and martyn responds as if them working together was a foregone conclusion
martyn sees ren for the first time in ages and something tells him to share, and so he passes ren one of his most valuable resources - nether wart. and ren doesn’t even notice it, but he uses that nether wart to barter with lizzie for a third life (and then swears his sword to her; “how long? until you’re yellow? red?” martyn asks. “for life. you know how i roll,” ren replies easily.)
it’s the way that ren cant be part of martyns club, but ren opens his doors to martyn anyway. “you’re always welcome here,” he says.
the way ren has been so, so alone and desperate for companionship and martyn is the first to take him up on it
tl;dr Guess I Gotta Keep Breaking Down Treebark In Every Week Of Third Life Because I Gotta Also Do It For Last Life
Martyn in front of the other southerners: lmao what a loser, am I right?
Martyn as soon as the southerners look away:
My god I respect your efficiency in creating a themed blog with url in such a short period of time
something about wearing a colored bandanna that indicates how many lives you have left… wearing it so it covers any features from your previous server… around your wrist as a warning or reminder of what people are trading away when they shake your hand… around your neck so people are forced to acknowledge it as they interact with you… tying it like your partner’s to show solidarity (and a semi-debt)… the possibilities…
