our soul went into the death room
natural selection and they r all fully mature.. they dont grow
Me doing a confusion
Hm... True, but... I think that'd be too labor intensive and honestly i think the elders would listen to the king...
That and... Why was vault completely unharmed?
Wait no I had a question on why they started the war in gw
the weird child give us light and a beam appeared
Is that confirmed? Okay im missing smthing here
If the war moved into eden they'd have to fight in the Vault of knowledge
thats the whole theory
i am guessing this is the bean that bring us to orbit
Oh wait shoot sorry I thought you were someone else
I’m really confursddkekejdkdjdkdmdmdmkdkdkdkkd
Wait no you asked what the ascension beam is
Oh ok
Is that confirmed? Did i miss smthing?
its like one of those places that ppl arent allowed to bomb during wars...yknow?
plus.. vault has all the records of their history and tech...
And... Well, Golden wasteland and Valley are canonically connected, right? Likr they were one area? So i think the war only started between valley and wasteland?
This has been a trip 
by leaning stars, i meant in the corridor there are sitting stars instead of standing, and theres a lot of em
afaik this is all pyre’s theorizing rn, @rugged star
I still think that vault would refuse to let anyone enter just to head to Eden and fight, that's... Frankly really strange planning
thinking about Eden and Valley being sister cities
i heard here that "they dont grow" and "they r mature" r heavily implied in confirmations
Nothing lakakmamama
vault is a smol unarmed tower.... ther r others way up a mountain u know....
also, why do other creatures look like earth creatures, but a whale is,,,,,, a weird roll
tgc
Cuz its sky
Maybe they could climb the physical mountain - and if the krill war machine theory is true, ride those
lmaooooo
By the people who made it? They confirmed that mantas dont grow?
anyway id like to think that since valley architecture is really luxurious the architects decided that the castle would fit it very nicely
I mean, yes, in real life people did pass through other areas... But shouldn't the Wasteland temple be more wrecked if it's a passing point for the war?
And... There is no other way through eden...
not machines (confirmed) but they had flying boats and trained krill
Unless if... Eden collapsed during the war while they were fighting
or maybe they come from the same time period so their architecture is similar
Maybe gw elder and the king had war and the king won and put propaganda in gw elders realm?(dont worry I don’t agreee with myself)
But also... If that's the case there should be way more weapons and stuff in eden!
I used “war machine” to mean created/trained for battle
did u seriously not read my theory?
i wrote exactly wut u said.....
...
then yes but not created...(confirmed)
Look I'm really smoothed brain right now-
There are a lot of spears
I just believe that Eden only has weapons cus people tried going through there...
Have you guys noticed that there are a lot of boats in each realm except I believe vault?
All destroyed I guess.. There are some on the way though (2nd door with a cutscene)
the weapons mustve been blown away by the winds into the deep dark areas
maybe they all got disintegrated from the rocks 
To fix the diamond /ascension spear /whatever the heck the end of eden is!
the rocks r pieces of the ascension beam emmitor...
ah.
There are boats in every realm except the (maybe) vault and eden - why? Some have crashed while others are buried
Aren't there boats in Vault? Just buried?? Or am I imagining things-
idk
ok
I cant remember tbh
same
vault has that super slow elevator
yes
wait there are boats in forest??? i cant think of it rn
Yes
Cuz... Eden is a really inconvenient battle ground... It's steep, windy, and sure! The person at the top has a huge advantage, but... That would be the king, no? Which side would the king be on?
Ye
can someone remind me where
Unless if the king died or something?
everywhere, just buried
and eden`s high winds r unsuitable for boats
Immediately after u open the first gate
huh my memory is really failing me rn
But what I want to know is why are boats in ruins? How the heck did they get in there and WHY build around the boats???
there is a dock
but thanks ahaha
The king would def have the advantage, but there’s only one power beam
/ whoever controls Eden
Yeah, and...
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
I JUST DISCOVERED TAVLE FLIP
Oh
All the realms were once filled with water till the islands started to float and flourish with land
KH
hmm unsure
ye
ok...
ver. Egg he’s the bad guy but that’s just me
WOULDN'T KING BE LIKE- FIGHTING FOR USING THE BEAM??
I’m having a moment ;-;
ok...
Well his son used the beam
Wait wait
Cus if he was for it he wouldn't use eden to protect the beam
So the people storming would be anti-beam
People as in ancestors (spirits) or elders?
anit beam people are the ones who dont want to get send to orbit?
.... If you die in eden but not in the point of no return do you see the winged light? Or the other light boy?
Yes but I think the beam was the diamond in eye of eden storms
GUYS GUYS GUYS! SORRY TO INTERRUPT BUT
https://child-of-daylight.tumblr.com/post/636452531708608512/hmmmm-familiar
ancestors? Wait why are spirits and ancestors different. One is alive and one is dead?
OMG HOW DID I NOT SEE THAT
Cuz if you see the light boy maybe the ppl who died in this war in eden got right into orbit?
lightbulb moment that’s so cool
Yes I noticed that to but I dont wanna make it a theory when I first saw it
Yes
yep- pretty much-
No a lot
Wait, the clouds in some areas are the “water” (which is funny since clouds carry water), anyways, there are water in some areas in each realm (i think) - floating islands are also a thing, as well with infinite source of water - How? Why? Water = light? Light = creation? Creation = Megabird?
Am doing damage to my brain send help
Both realms produced diamonds
... Would that mean... Wasteland elder was originally just a really religious dude? 
This is my first time noticing this.
So wasteland and forest were on the bottom/foothills of Valley mountains?
Cuz he's got 3 freaking temples
but wait, the forest leads to this pretty clearing with water n stuff, but wasteland has a totally different landscape how would that work
Idek bro
heck welcome to the party then XD
I noticed it when I was a moth but I-
Oh ye, that one. Well, pretty sure Forest and GW are diamond factories lol.
Land was cleared to make way for the factories
Maybe burnt a whole forest down while they were at it
I want
Yeah, and i guess the first temple was destroyed in a war?
So they made s newer one that's definitely more barren
yes, maybe. Though, most likely.
Yes
There's a mural that would point to that actually- Wasteland having been a forest once
I want to know how there is an endless waterfalls in the Sky World, is it because clouds carry water? but some of the islands are far away, magic? Probably
It’s 2am and I’m questioning life and the world of Sky
oooh can i see the mural if you can find it

I wonder if the same temple appears in other realms.
I mean forest leads to Valley.. We fly up.. From Valley we go down for wasteland. Just so happens we go from Valley to gw. May be earlier people used to travel from gw and forest to Valley
yeah gimme a sec-
Sneep
im exhausted lol
Go sneep
Or if Forest and Wasteland are like.. two halves of the same whole?
Here's your mural of not Forest- but Wasteland
its 12:00 am rn here lol
Wait there could be another reason for the krills
Yes so u go sneep
What about ark tho? We got flowers and prairie /grassland back when it was restored
Lmoaoaooaoaoaooaoaoaoaoaooaoa
hhhhh yes
what
observe the silhouettes of the temples
dang thats a full arsenal
The enchanters probs did stuff with the orbs of light...
O-
OH
Ark is pretty out of the way
Yeyeyyeyys
Ooo
here`s my theory for the lights
PLUS they had magical intervention
OH I ASSUMED THAT WAS THE FOREST TEMPLE THIS WHOLE TIME
Shadows = are all born from the darkness when the king/prince became corrupted. The king/prince uses the Shadows as his guards to patrol the area, and makes them hit us to lessen our wing light thing - so we don’t survive the storm so we don’t reach him. :0
i..... do not see it
you're welcome I kinda had to run for that
pls explain someone
so the lightseekers brought lights from each realm to vault and they filled these lights with elemental essense lol
is my theory
Also remembered that the forest clearing without rain had flowers so I withdraw my objections
Yes thank you!!
Bruh, this is the biggest brain thonking ive ever done
Hmmm... Vault... Why vault?
Hm it can be
Vault does have the most magic
cuz.. lightseekers cutscene
Compare the mural to the silhouette of the buildings, @keen spire.
end cutscene
Seems familiar.. Forest gate?
Link??
i dont have it
ohhhhh
Wasteland also has those big broken pillars
I never paid attention to the cutscene
Ok I’ll try and find it brb
But... Where were they headed?
shadow only exist in trials so its not possible
WAIT WAIT wait, who do those jars on the shelves in the vault belong to?
Wait sorry to interrupt the current discussion but saw this on Instagram and found it interesting lmao
somehow we circle back to season talk and I have no regrets
AHAKAJAJAHA
Could be daughter and mother or mother and daughter
Omg
Possibly a former member of the Rhythm troupe?
Im doing guesses now
Could explain the daughter's ambition to perform
I mean maybe the shapes at the bottom of the eyes are different
It 2am am doing a thinking
Oh TRUEEE
Also, I just noticed.
What is the small temple /structure on top of the wasteland temple?
O
maybe eden? idk
where is that
Oh that's the spire wAAAAAAY up there.
My only guess is Vault- seeing as that's the only structure after Wasteland that isn't Eden
A group of friends and I climbed it once.
Ooooh
right?
A broken temple area beyond the Temple?
thats depicting gw not hf?
What's poppin bois?
im confused
It's like... a big spire. I'd show it but I'd have to run Wasteland and hhhh
bubbles
It's GW- you can compare the silhouettes, and Forest temple is nothing like the temple depicted in the mural

Listen, it's the spire on top of the last temple.
My sanity bubble
oh and folks, i have a cool new theory i would like to share withyall
Too much
It seems to have been depicted as being above the wasteland in the clouds...
Or behind.
Go on 

ok here goes
OKAY OKAY MOVING ON
I
if u look at the forest temple from far away, birds r streaming into it....
do u guys fell where this is going?
oh like after graveyad?
?
Idk, The isle elder sent the bird to show the pathway
Ah yes, the inexplicable light shining from the entrance to Battlefield.
That's why they're there
wut if.... the temple was built in the way of the bird migration path so that the factory could have an endless supply of light creatures
Oh
... Hm!
I...that’s so dark but maybe
I mean, people died. And Eden exists.
Yea
Wouldn't be out of the question!
Yea true
I wonder if the king has kidnapped anyone
And we know they can get dark with stories too!
Wasteland elder was supposed to die and.... Yall have seen the tearful light miner-
Probably
Prince of Persia story cross over?
i leave for five seconds- what are we talking about-
The king has DEFINITELY kidnapped someone. Have you sene him?
No
Bird slaughter conveyor belt
now u have
Hmmm
there u go king pic
I wanna just go under the cloak and play hide and seek
Looks like a chess pawn.
I-
Why does the king look like a sentient finger with a wedding ring that didn't want to see the bride and groom kiss
Bet - there’s like a dungeon under the cloak or smthing
the white van of sky
Haha lol
the black cloak
Pspspspsps, prince i got a crown pspspss
Pspspsp, prince I'll let you rule
Pspspsps prince i got more light
hey prince, i got yummy butterflies here... wanna yeet?
come into the van cloak
This what happens when Xyro talks in 2 in the morning
People trying to catch a prince
xD
I'd say leave the kid alone but then again-
the kid has the powers of the forces of nature at his disposal
Here prince-y, pspspsps I got a pretty staff and mask
pspspsps hey Prenc want to get t a l l e r
Lol
prince: dont you dare say that again!
Pspspsps hey prince-y want a cool cape/cloak?
Ded
then u`d die
If i was getting a cool cape or mask - you got me
Being taller and dying!?
Sign me up!
hjshajhj just remembered I can't joke about that-
-o p
Shhh
anyway- what are we on again-
But srsly tho - the king couldve kidnapped the prince if he look like that
Wait
Wait
the kig IS the prince....
Is that his actual body tho?
no
Or is a cape/cloak?
just a mech
I-
have u seen the lego movie?
they offered him a mech problem solved
Also - king is prince is not confirmed just theory
The prince made a new body to become taller XD
=w=
I'd do that
pspsps hey Prenc I've got a mech just jump into the van like a good King
I-
So what im hearing is that the king can look skinny or chubby
But what happens under it could be like shadow or the abyss
Like an alien movie thing
I’m watching the old season cutscenes again and feeling lonely
o-o
then gen chat is your place
His body be made out of shadows and darkness
I think next instrument to be added in Sky should be a 🎻, and maybe next the actual voice, so in the end we'll be able to play add Eden music together
:0
yeah prob but I am invested here
Nah, saxophone all the way
😏 ik what song to learn
This be lore lol
ye they r not gonna add that i think... tgc is hell bent on not making long notes and yea...
Be gone >:0
Sax is good, but doesn't add up to the village & skate theme
I just realized that krills have what look dust falling off them? Why is that?? (I didn’t know where else to put this)
Shouldnt this be in Seasonal chat? Or like in another channel
read that
o-o
It's the symbiotic theory
dark matter is completely different...
hhhh
ye
oh that doc is a different one
oh?
dust
depends on what context of dark matter we're using
Same falls off from dark crabs & plants
more like blood clots
oh thats why when our light gets drained we also get that dandruff thing
but the other way around
Oooo. Ya know, we have "dust" too.
Like are we talking dark matter irl or dark matter as in literally matter made from darkness
Latter
oh
Wait a min...
Is there a theory on all the stuff on the cave walls in prophecy?
yes wait
I wouldn't be surprised if there was
So the dark matter on the krills and crabs, SO CRABS AND KRILLS GOT THEIR LIGHT TAKEN AWAY BEFORE!?
OR
I've got an essay written by one of our regulars if you need it
Pyre you're nailing this
they just arent compatible with sparks
Ty :3
Yes please 👉🏽👈🏽
yes
Here's the other in-depth doc-
I took a crab into the light and started getting hurt
still confused but ok
thats... old.... and goes against a lot of our theories
but its cool
all theories r welcome
They DID just ask for the Prophecy Murals- plus Butters updated it
rlly?
Slightly, ye- after a few more discussions
did they get rid of the part abt the elements going haywire?
I've just watched another episode of Avatar, which holds so much theory around power balance & spirits. We may also think of krills as "dark spirits" which game does not allow us to cure and make peaceful yet. Maybe another TGC game would do so
I mean, it's still a valid point
I feel like the king created the krills to keep an eye on his territory so no one can shine light on him, or the krills hit us - the winged light doesn’t disappear but transfers to the diamond to make the king or prince live longer.
nah@willow bear krill r born naturally
It's not like it's completely invalid just because it didn't show up in your Cozy Sky storytelling
@rugged star u too
You sure they're born naturally? they sound mechanical when we're too close.
Oops didnt read that
Was that a confirmed thing or
oh ofcourse butter`s theory is valid there is nothing to disprove it i think its cool....
i was just asking...
Yeah are krills born being naturally confirmed?
ye confirmed
Ah well- let's just agree there's several takes on it
Wha- where?
Where?
wait a sec lemme pull up the quotes
Voluntary had a whole theory shock about just that yesterday
They need to update the canon doc
Well, if we add a bit of physics then krills just drains light for nothing. There must be some outgoing energy from them. And they can't be infinite dark because they have that blue light 
they arent
at least in my theory
and blu light means nothing
just a light dud...
Wait, if krills are naturally born - they somewhat guard and patrol the areas that is near to the diamond
or a cybernetic enhancement
they were trained for the war
in all versions of the tst
Blue light is probably there for the players benefit.
I'm still dubious about the trained for war part
Like this is all confirmed?
not that
and I'm sure I've seen at least a handful of versions that didn't include krill at all
just widely accepted
or at least- krill as BEASTS of war
I don’t accept jt
ooook....
Hmmm
krill r organic tho.. thats confirmed
Wait i didnt mean to make it sound rude
neither do I really- it's hard to believe that the krill would bow down to anyone
They're more of an independent existence if you ask me
That does not explain winged light which does not add up by "usual sparks" rather by "special light children"
wl isnt sparks...
thats just wl
So krills are naturally born, but somewhat act as if they obey someone or it could be natural instincts
going in circles? i sure hope not
I seriously doubt the 'obey' part
i seriously doubt the instinct part
Krills might be "whales of poisoned water"
I don’t know much about krills and their behaviour- bc as we see they circle around as well look out for people who are made out of light
Maybe they’re born naturally now, but the prairie elder creates life(the butterflies)
These are just theories. No need to say no like that.
If they were trained for war - why are they now moving in circles?
So maybe he made them? And they were trained to protect the diamond
nah all creatures r born naturally... the butterflies r prob hatched with fire
yes we see the eyes
Wheres the eyes
they were trained to patrol the sector.. u sure u have read the tst?
see for yourself in the bones
I did! But I have bad memory
Said that gw had war
I can't blame them you guys throw around the TST too much
Whos the enemy tho 👀
WITH SEVERAL VERSIONS I MIGHT ADD
What is the TST? :0
There is SEVERAL VERSIONS!?
Two Shields Theory
yea
Two shields theoryy
This is just gonna confuse me
It’s ...........you don’t have to
Just heard of them
Basically there’s a war between two factions and the how/why varies
My head be doing a ache
the gist of the TST is that basically there's two sides to the war in Golden Wasteland
Ok
Two designs on the shields we see scattered around- a sun shield and a diamond shield
Take a break if necessary
Whos the enemy
I mean, isn't there usually two sides to an argument or a war?
and then everyone went ham on what exactly they were fighting over
the current version: idk but not lamed or tsadi
in older versions: daleth, ayin, and teth
No one really knows
Oh wow so theyre the one who brought krills to gw ?
It’s all a mess
it's a giant mess
Also, there's not always an enemy.
of interpretations
There doesn't HAVE to be an enemy- it's war, both sides believe they're right to some capacity
no theory has said that before cuz that goes agains the tst`s basis evidence
There are boats in realms << could be supplies being dropped off or soldiers being deployed
exactly...
thats how most modern tsts go
HOLD ON
nah the other way around
oh my god now we have MODERN TSTs-
One of the spirits was in a boat with the butterfly jar thingies
👀
I was just saying there's not always one because someone was asking if there was one.
I’m sorry I opened this can of worms lol
the defenders trained the krill to patrol and defend
us but without light
Basically a Skid but with a big ol' King head
or so the concepts say
go get your light extinguished @rugged star
No
then u will see
I have seen myself extinguished before =w=
oh ok
I mean- they don't have to completely get extinguished
Oh wow
they could look it up or smthn
Wha
Not impossible
So like elder gw as the defender right?
This theory has gotten out of control.
Oh
ye
ye
I love how the king looks nice while the prince looks like a burnt marshmallow
im
Damn so krills are actually just guarding their territory
burnt marshmallow
Always thought theyre on the "enemy" side
its always basically the same.. except wut the fight over... the sides, the tactics, the weapons, they r always the same
ye
Yeah but you guys seem to be taking it as law.
we do?
tst IS** very** promising...
I don't? idk what the others think
I should have said not everyone is.
Mostly there's discussion that the Prince indeed look like a skid, but perhaps not the extinguished part
I’m gonna hop off for tonight, see y’all later!
The king takes the light bc he became a tyrant this corruption - war happened - prince shattered - wl scattered - king locked up in eden - krills patrol.
OR
The king takes the light bc he became a tyrant this corruption - war happened - King locked up - Prince gets light gets killed by Krills - Krills patrol.
Cya!
bye eggman!
Aight see ya Eggman
Bai bai
Two types of shields: a circular shield and “the typical shield” shape shield. circular shields have the sunburst symbol and “the typical shield” shaped shields have the diamond symbol
this is the very essense of the tst
this is basically it
King, so like king of gw?
no
Nope- King of basically the entire Kingdom
Ohhh
he passed all the trials
What is tst lol?
Two types of shields: a circular shield and “the typical shield” shape shield. circular shields have the sunburst symbol and “the typical shield” shaped shields have the diamond symbol
two shields theory

(again please refrain from using hebrew names)
:/
TST.ver.2.0
when the prince opened the ascension beam the elders wanted to go to orbit and go home and the spirits wanted a way to ascend without dying...
and that was the ascension beam...
but several elders were worried that if neutral creatures manipulated and used the light creatures' road to ascension, it would destabilze the network... so they kept it under guard...
but the duds that wanted to go to orbit were persistent and they made an army... they attacked wasteland and wasteland trained krill and fortified its factories... and then they fought...(how the war went is specified in the ver.1.0 and its super long so imma ommit that) then the war reached eden and whether it was an accident or on purpose the beam-emmittor blew up and thats why shards of it r still flying around in eden...
so now the ascension beam could only be opened temporarily by the prince and small er cuz the eimmitor was gone.. so the king went and hid in orbit and the war ended... but vast amounts of resources were exhausted by the war and a lot of the working class was now dead.. so then came famine and disease... the spirits decided this was all the elders` fault and they rebelled and imprisoned the elders in limbo
with no clear leader and very little magical protection with the elders in limbo, the ancestors descended into anarchy and it all went south with all the famine and disease and infighting and so they went extinct... so thats how it all came to be
--> our most recent version
That’s confirmed?
nononono
Theory.
a sky theory
Pfff
Okay what about the king?
i never got this joke... why is it funny?
you could just say this is your version Pyre
ye but that doesnt sound official
I thought it was pyro
no theory is official, thats the point
because it isn't official???
Exactly
ye
𝓟𝔂𝓻𝓮
i think they mean like formal
Not everyone signed off on this version, so it's best that you claim it as yours Pyre
yes thank you
ppl, why is "a sky theory" funny?
Game theory.
Formalities are lost when we use 'our' to refer to a theory not everyone agrees with
Game theory
idk wut that is
please refrain from using special characters, they aren’t accessible to everyone (screen readers and incompatible devices)
okie
catchphrase that gets adapted across fandoms in story discussions to fit it differently
it’s just a youtube channel
By all means- tell us why
we don’t know if they’re the same or different
it’s up to you, honestly
omg then some ppl may be reading my user name as "- square square square square square -" ?
yep
Yep, basically, Everything is upto u in the story
Yeah lol
lol
it's a reference to a channel called game theory that basically always ends his videos in "but that's just a theory a game theory"
Okay wait, can sky kids - in general, grow? Since creatures in the sky world cant
game theories but it's mostly fnaf and minecraft-
no
Skids can't grow- into either Elders or Ancestors at least
i mean they can grow in size
no
But
except with magic
They grow with potions yeye
And mask
They can grow in size.
not naturally tho
But other than that they can't just grow into anything else
they r in their mature form
But the king has surpassed the max height of a sky kid as well as the potion takes you
I mean technically we've seen different manta's with different grow/ aging cycles, which may imply mantas can grow
mech
those r differentspecies
Everyone is pretty much taller than a skid-
What is mech?
big robot
everyone sentient at least
i mean we don’t know that it’s a mech prince could’ve just had the most epic growth spurt in history
greedy freaking prince didn't save any inches for the rest of us hhhhh
Sky kid's life source is winged lights lol
The prince then obvs can’t grow to be the king
yes exactly
we don't know much about the elder species
just that they r a subspecies of us
or rather we are a subspecies of them
- they tall
- they old
ye
that was a question I had to bring up yesterday actually- is the Eden Elder literally just an exception since Elders can't grow into the position
or we may not even be a "species"
They were always just Elders-
there's a theory we're littol golems
imma go now
So I say that the king and prince aren’t the same - if the prince can’t grow
So does that mean we're immortal or
Aight cya Pyre
Since we can't age
Bai bai
bye pyre!
Exactly
but anyways, the king/prince's concept art implies the king is a mech and the prince is his true self
We can’t grow or age
biologically maybe if we just never go to Eden
And the only way for us to die is to lose winged lights
or get krilled
Because we are made out of light
So that means we're very light
imo we are made of clay
We're Not immortal, but sort of. Like, we still die after losing all light, but the thing is we get reborn again after that
I think we are littol stone automations powered by our light
throws a fish at finisher No, bad
if we are made of light we could be disintegrated by the rain in a few seconds
I believe we are that dark creature that pyre sent in a doc
we’re immortal but not invulnerable imo
like if we just stayed in prairie for eternity we’d never die
We feed on light to live
so we have a protective stone body
yes
like a shell
yep
heck now we can't even die if we crash into walls at mach speed
hollow
We are hollow and we feed on the light to survive - if not we die
c on s u m e
we dont have necessarily feed light
i mean we’re sturdy but not invulnerable?
Would be funny if sky kids had mouths lol
But they don't
Why dont we have it 😔
I still say there’s a possible chance other beings - humans or other creatures could exist just not in game
it'd just look like how Pixiv sees skids ngl
Even mantas have mouths but not us
don’t need mouth when have hjonk
Either that or other type of being have gone extinct
Like humans and regular animals
manta is living being
dosent seem funny to me
And if we're maskless we're always closing our eyes
we... might not be
oh- about those regular animals
They're depicted on masks and even murals come Prophecy
Once I think Bricky said that the reason we don't see them around is because they're specifically not light or dark creatures
Merely a neutral existence that couldn't handle the changes in the world
Could the sky world be earth but after the whole war humans and animals gone extinct - in some places Mantas are spiritual like in moana
But if they really existed why didn't we see them in many murals like we see other creatures like crabs, krills, mantas,
what I just mentioned, I mean
just like that- natural selection at it's cruelest- they weren't light nor dark creatures
therefore couldn't last in the environment that we see in Sky
or so the theory goes
Hmm i realised smthing
so animals like the kitsune or ducks r like dinosaurs for skids lol
smthn like it
We see some depicted in the Trial murals but idk if those were just artistic renderings of the Prophets or not
I think, that's just depicting the end statue
I went and search the manta ray from moana and sky - all both have a triangle or diamond shaped at the very front - then i searched more and they all seem to have a diamond at the front of their “eyes”
That's kinda what I'm thinking too
Well, you understand either way
mantas also have a mouth which I find terrifying for some reason
Im probably over thinking
Do the diamonds on their forehead server a purpose?
*serve
I never understood what ||the statues in eden stands for||
God am i tired
like just look at that thing-
Cute
yes
Yep
kawaii!!!!!!!!!
They even open and close the mouth
yes
How do u ppl even capture or notice these things - i didnt even know
am I the only one who finds it terrifying that they have those mouths
Because L O R E
they just open it like m a w
Lol, i find them cute
m A W
Uh their mouths irl are more terrifying
which ones btw?
I too, am slightly terrified of those mouths.
bRO IMAGINE THEY RENDERED THE FULL SET
NOOOOO
LIKE- MANTA MOUTHS ARE JUST- N O-
no
NO NO NO NO
lore theorists do everything they can to understand worlds like this...
||Like we have to give them our winged lights, like what are they supposed to be.. the rock child statues||
Skids
3rd gen skids according to Pyre
Mantas are really wierd creatures themselves lol
You are supposed to give them to somewhat return them home
And no need to spoiler tag btw
Ye
You don't have to spoiler tag about eden here @lost spire
okokok duds.. this leaves us with one GAPING question that everyone is prob asking themselves rn.......
WUT DO THEY YEET
is this a pun for the open manta mouth
oml it is-
omg i didnt know
uhhh
unintended pun
they eat
DO THEY EAT THE LITTLE MANTAS!?
oooh maybe the mouth is just for breathing
do they even need to eat- to begin with-
Bc i dont see the big ones hang out with the smaller ones!!
the sparks prob provide all the nourishment
maybe the moth is just for breathing
omg
m o t h
i just wrote moth
Have you seen the groups? The bigger ones hang out with eachother while the smaller flies in smaller groups
the moth is just for breathing 
maybe the mouth is just for breathing
imagine sticking a moth to the maw of a manta
Well the smaller the mantas the together they stay, bug mantas always stay alone, while small mantas stay in groups
and the mantas use them like inhalers
thats just biology
Hahaha Chibis go brrrrr into the mouth
Lol, imagine they made them have a tongue
realises I’m a chibi nooooooo
lets use the term pygmy mantas.. bug mantas r scary
lol
Bug mantas?
b ug

can confirm why are irl mantas just- nightmares-
Well, i will never be able to remember those names so i better be using normal names
Also, won't these names confuse new ppl if used often?
Indeed they would- then again there's several sizes of manta
referring to each one by a different name was doomed to confuse people frm the start
ye
I want to know how elders become elders and how spirits become adult looking spirits
wHY FOR THE LOVE OF MEGAN IS THERE A BABY SHARK SONG FOR MANTAS
Bc we cant grow
Elders- for one- were always Elders
They don't they're ageless
spirits grow like ppl and elders were always that way
I think spirits grow, but Elders and skids don't
ancestors were neutral
Is it bc we made up of light?
Elders= ageless, pretty much just born into the position
and they died in the extremities with all the kitsune and ducks
ye
Bc light cant grow
Skids= cannot and will not grow into Elders, pretty much actually children
yes
The next generation is going to be nothing but rowdy flying children
It 3am WOOO
Says on canon doc-
but fully mature...(like dwarves)
pog
we're dwarves that don the beard only when we like Isle enough to do so-
tiny gandalfs
Chibi
hey do u guys wanna know how ancestors used to eat without mouths?
But then also “turns you into an adult for 10min”
sure
there is no other explanation
do you think skykids would exist Before the Explosion
it's possible but very much debatable
Yeah, especially after than new spirit cutscene
The war made humans and animals gone extinct, the big magic go boom and the whole islands sunk and some stay afloat
Technically a proto-skid- but technically yes
so these ancestors.. they used to eat actual food but they didnt have mouths or any opening in their bodies.. so... the explanation is that they decompose the food outside their bodies and absorb the protein
like mushrooms
and the prince was an elder
the eden elder
prob
prolly
Hey - do u think we make the light fragments into candles is bc if we absorb more light we might burn out?
Does anyone have the Elder of the isle pin poem?
uhhh
i don't know why but this legitimately terrifies me
DOCS
gimme a sec
its wax, and no thats wut wax does
What if spirits being mouthless and noseless is just an artstyle thing
prob not
art styles r always lore
unlike game mechs, art styles r lore
wh
Mmm skids looks up to spirits and their elders - so they get cosmetics bc they wanna look cool =w=
DARN IT, MY LAPTOP WAS LAGGYYYY
Spirits always wear masks 
So if they dont will they look like us, eyes closed
I mean- game mechs could still be lore in a way- we just have to be really picky about it
ye
Idk about that. I'll give an example. There's a game known as INSIDE where all characters are faceless, but in the game you can see food, cigarettes, and other things that one would need a mouth to use for.
no they dont
Dawn breaks with stars fallen,
Ferries stir to distant calls.
Shepherd us home back upwards,
A herald awakes to heed us all.
"Dear Children, no hope was lost,
We saw of your return to us."
The Elder opens up the skies,
And together again, we fly.
What counts as an actual in-universe thing and what doesn't
for example- home trick- not lore
I as well have characters who are faceless but that's just an artstyle thing for me too
I mean people call it “maskless” so that’s our natural look - so seeing that - skids technically have no eyes - we’re made out of light or absorb or however we get light
Slenderman
no thats just minimalist... sky is very specific abt all things except for the mouths and noses
we do we just close them
I don't think that's 100% true imo
like we see the eyelids and eyelashes
I don’t think so-
We have eyelids so
WHY DONT WE BLINK
We have eyelashes but not eyes
no like its a game detail....
Some part of me thinks even that's just an aesthetic choice- because we're technically just light in a hollow shell
Also so is INSIDE
wut?
yes
We don't NEED eyes to see in our case
Maybe skids do some echolocation stuff that's whu hjonking also exists
Ohhh the game?
Yep the game
Nor eyes to hear- because we're simply lumps of light in a shell
Eyelids and eyelashes to look normal for the masks but in reality once we remove it under the eyelids and eyes lashes it’s just hollowness
heck why would we need to sniff anything
I'm not mentioning whether we need them or not, I'm just saying they aren't there
At first I thought mask were our face fr
There are legit some creatures who has eyelids but no eyes
Like just 0_0 all the time
Also, skids do have ears they're just really hard to see. The ears also don't have any holes.
Im leaning towards this stuff being just artistic choice.
that's terrifying ngl
=w= so possible chance of skids just having no eyes is possible
Moth days 🥲
what.
Imagine
A two beady light eyes and a void for a face
no they open their eyes in their masks and chibis blink
inverse hollow knight vessel
could be cute if you choose to ignore the connotations-
So they close their eyes every time they get put out >.>
Someday.. when sky kids decide to open their eyes
Lolol
I think Chibis blinking is just supposed to be a cute little feature, just like the Naruto run
Chibi blinks?
Mhm
Never noticed that 
Yeah, when Chibis run, their eyelids move up and down
Is it confirmed that we close our eyes when we put maskless!?
babey moff babey
In some emotes they blink
And if you play the harp they blink sometimes
prob not tho
Yeah they are flying creatures. So are bats, who use echolocation. I think that skids resemble flying animals of all kinds.
Maybe they are blind and use echolocation. Plus, echolocation and the honks work similarly.
How does that work? We honk and when they dont honk back how did we even know where they were?
We're blind 
Really Off Topic
I have thoughts about the candles they use
Cause like at first I thought it was their hearts, but like they literally rip a candle out of their stomachs
So-
Lol where do they store candles at
the chest
👀
we ARE kinda hollow-
We’re blind bc we dont have eyes!!! The “eyes” we have are LIGHT so we can see the world!!! Bc when we in eden, our world slowly becomes darker as the light we gathered fades away!!!

Another weird thing....
Skids have ears but without holes
How do they hear
I- idk about that one
Maybe they just have really good touching and feeling senses?
Well... Actual hearing isn't particularly dependant on the holes
Maybe the honk we do isn’t actually clear?
I mean, you could still hear when you cover your ears-
We hear is somewhat muffled
The holes are partially because ears evolved from gills and partially for trying to amplify and filter sound
Don't mind me, I don't have enough brain juice to work properly-
Chesca - what time it for u?
11 am
3:30am still functioning barely
We are all just moths moving towards a light
Anyways
yes
we don’t need a mouth to make sounds either
There's still holes and cracks, like from our hands so ofc we can
ye

I like this
this is the way
Likely skykid hearing is slightly different, but their lil earflaps are probably plenty sensitive to pick up general audio. (This may lead to limitations with the variety of tones we can understand though, which may contribute to our lack of audible language)
Null sounds professional
exactly how much research for ears did you need to do Null-
Note, I am pulling this from memory and may be remembering things inaccurately
moths have antennae that detect small vibrations in the air
We don't have antennae though
moths aren’t the confirmed name for skids though
Might not- but the imagery is hard to ignore-
yeah

No, but antenae also are also not holes
the concept is that the sky experience is what the mind in a moth is like, it may be different then reality
but candles r real
ultimately it is just a philosophical theory
I wonder why the elder chose candles to gather light from - since we can get it from lanterns, stars and other things too
maybe they just really liked how Candlemaker made them lmao
he made them scented and stuff
our characters seem to be an infinite source of fire and light energy
Maybe it's an allusion to how candles are placed on shrines considering they're on you know- shrines-
We don’t burn out in normal clear water
