    Summary

    "The film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind presents a world in which one may surgically have their memories of a specific person removed."
    RetroWriMay

    Alternatively: Who needs Lacuna Inc. to erase someone's memories when you have the power of the Dark Side on call? But lest you forget, always remember: love can ignite the stars.

    Summary

    A bit, as defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, is "a usually short theatrical routine" (n.d.), and has been extended to refer to "a joke, usually amongst a select group of people, played with some sincerity" (Rodrigues, 2014). As they are intended as comical performances, bits are, by nature, intended to flout Grice's Cooperative Principle and four maxims (1975) by conjuring an additional humorous conversational implicature behind the discourse with the intention of eliciting mirth (Andresen, 2013, 4–5). This essay aims to examine the YouTube video "The BAD BOYS Try To Rhyme In LIMITED LIFE.." (Solidarity Shorts, 2023), an excerpt from the Limited Life SMP YouTube series, itself a season of the Life series, as a case study of how Grice's four maxims may be flouted within a bit, which is further extended as a case study to illustrate the importance of humour in the Life series in general.

    Alternatively: Oh, the inherent whimsy of analysing the greater MCYT fandom from a linguistic perspective.

    Originally titled: On the Life series and floutings of Grice's Cooperative Principle and four maxims.

    Summary

    In each season of the Life series, players on a Minecraft survival multiplayer server are given a certain number of lives and must fight to the death to be the last one standing, with a player's final death signifying their elimination from the season. As a result, rarely does a character experience grief for another's death in the series unless it is their final death. Here, the effects of the first ever final death in the series is examined as the most standout example of grief and mourning in the entire Life series.

    Alternatively: An anthropological analysis of Scott Smajor's grief in widowhood in 3rd Life.

    Summary

    "The concept of evolutionary mismatch was developed to explain how traits can go from being adaptive to being maladaptive as the environmental conditions that the population is exposed to change."

    Summary

    A week after Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi supposedly returned from the dead, his former padawan's name made the headlines as well: Ex-General Skywalker resigns from Jedi Order, citing irreconcilable differences.

    Alternatively: As much as I enjoy post-Rako Hardeen arc reconciliation fics, this is not one of them.

    Summary

    She had always known that the Republic didn't live up to what it preached, but it doesn't make it any less disappointing to experience it in person.

    But still, she waits.

    Alternatively: Shmi Skywalker and her son after The Phantom Menace, perhaps in a more hopeful galaxy.

    Summary

    the sea breeze cut like daggers against his skin. it still didn't hurt as much as the phantom pain in an empty socket or the knot of clenched-up memories deep in his chest, but the whispers… they came close.

    Alternatively: Kuervo goes on the Captain Golden Beard adventure quest. It goes about as well as you'd expect.

    Summary

    In a more bittersweet yet hopeful timeline, soulmates can feel each other's pain, and die when their partner does. This is enough for Anakin to resign from the Jedi Order a week after Geonosis and confront the Council about the implications of the Clone Wars on the horizon.

    Summary

    Were the walls closing in? It wasn't quiet at all. All he could hear was screaming. Familiar screams, ones that haunted his nightmares. There was nothing he could do. His back was to a wall. Where was the door?

    Summary

    "Never have I ever lied about not being alright," Oli said after recounting half of his life story about how he entered the fishing industry. "You know that I'm honest about what I feel around my boys."

    Everyone else simply glanced at each other in silence.

    That felt like a pointless question — they all knew no one was going to say anything about that.

    "Oh, you silly goose, you know I'd never do that!"

    Except Scar, apparently.

    "And you keep talking about missing your crab wife when she's right there, Ponytail?" Martyn interjected.

    "For the last time, Marty, my wife is not a bloody crab! Gods, you've been hanging around Sausage too much…"

    Alternatively: It's game night with the Kestrels (ft. Scott), and they're playing "Never Have I Ever". Let the shenanigans begin!

    Summary

    "So… how's your task coming along?" she asked.

    "It's been alright, I've already finished it… How about you?"

    Ah. She'd been afraid that Joel would ask her that in return.

    "…I've been managing," she replied, trying to keep her answer as evasive as possible.

    "Well, then, I wish you best of luck with that."

    She didn't respond. There was no "good luck" in this task — it would be a lose-lose situation either way. Perhaps she should have taken acting like a whining brat over this. It would have cost her her pride even more than it already had, as well as her chance at healing, but at least she wouldn't have to do this. But considering she chose to hit the "reroll" button at the Secret Keeper's, she really only had herself to blame for this mess.

    Alternatively: Instead of having to convince the entire server to sleep through the night, Lizzie receives a much more different and personal task. As one would expect from the Life series, it does not end well.
