Oh goodness I was not aware so many sky kids were a menace to the fire prophet
let’s have you all team up on them
just curious, and asking everyone here.
What kind of cookie would be you like?
chocolate?
Sugar cookie!
Extremely sharp lemon-lime cookies!
I am those fluffy gingerbread cookies covered in chocolate my neighbors gave to me once
what a funny question to ask ;-;
My BeLoVeD hAteS mE
iM sOrRy, CaN i JuSt GeT oNe HeAdPaT?
Plan vanilla with nothin 
I call em Squid
I call darkness plants weeds
you?
I BEG YOUR PARDON??
What 
headpats require a down payment of 50 hearts
Oh crab legs of Fortune I’m SO SORRY
Hand them over rn
Bruh I was NOT Scammed
hehehehehe 
Maybe cuz I only got||✨ 2 ✨||in Sky
I would get punched to pancake 2d
I’m a little frail buttery butterfly
would you guys consider it weird to headcanon off-season qg and sleepy traveller as one and the same? that’s what i’ve ended up doing now so uh
Oh I just thought they were
ah good i’m not alone
it’s a comfort headcanon. i hope it’s fine to headcanon this
I see no problem with it, I mean they’re really similar if not the same
Hc that Sleepy just has a small outfit change and comes as qg pretending to be a different person
I suppose it'd be weird because they've both been in Homespace at the same time. could they duplicate themself?
Oh they have? Darn!!!
i just don’t want to never see off-season ever again is why i believe this
maybe they switch when you’re not looking
they both arrive on the boat. it’s impossible to tell who is who
Also Vol I just asked my beta friend to tell me ASAP if they ever come back and I’ll tell you if they do
emphasis on if
can imagine i’d get way too many pings tbh
I really do hope they return. I don’t see the point of replacing them with that little statue.
they were never replaced. they transferred to the boat
(this is not denial, this is coping. i think)
switch players don't get merchant at all
deciding to assume not as to stop getting so hung up on when
but yeah. the implications are…interesting
this is my last resort at this point
i’m refusing to think of them as gone entirely. they’re the sleepy traveller to me and that’s how it’ll be
will still say ex-questgiver though but that might confuse people
YEAH that’s what I believe too 
They just like their boat…
They look really similar so I just assume they are the same as well. I have,.. a darker possible headcanon(? Is it called a headcanon if it’s an idea that I thought of but don’t like) that would probably make the situation worse but makes more sense, so I will not share it. They do look exactly the same
You could even hc them as twins or something :3
awwww that would be cute
(also thank you for withholding from that)
Also this is a personal thing but they do kind of remind me of the kid in confident sightseer# memory??
OMG KID GREW UP INTO QG/SLEEPY
uh how do I explain this to new people who may have no idea who I’m referring to with ‘ex-questgiver’
is saying ‘i like to think they transferred to the boat’ a good idea or
Sleepy traveler beta edition?? They might think you’re referring to the game beta though

What if theyre twins
it just. it hurts to think of people who’ll have never met them………………as a questgiver
wait no the switch pe
(as soon as i thought i got past the denial i have another layer)
i mean. if they weren’t important we wouldn’t still have this emoji
long-distance friendships exist 
Tbh
I forgot that guy existed
i’m not gonna let them be forgotten
even if i’m the last one to, i will keep the memory alive as long as i’m playing
Yes 💙
I love them a lot too… want them back so Bad. It doesn’t feel the same with just the statue
july, my friends. i hope.
we shall greet them once again with the merch wave. gonna throw a wild party
Statue is lifeless… spirit friend is proud of you when you complete the tasks
but anyway uh. idk what I’m getting at but small little headcanon time
The statue being in one place seems convenient, but the quest giver makes home feel less lonely
i’m going to be hyping up merch for the questgiver more than the merch from now on 
Your my friend now..we’re having soft tacos later!
< oh no 
I want a spirit friend at home. They don’t even have to do anything gameplay wise, although it would be nice, I just want to give them hugs and high-fives. Just a dude who wants to be our friend and cheers us up when we come back from Eden trips
Yea me too 
Someone needs to look after these flying children
feedback that if you haven’t already
anyway uh
so, what do you believe about them and their boat? the coloured lights are interesting me
To be fair, a good half of the spirits have adopted us at this point. Of the half left over, probably another half of those could be convinced into adopting us as well.
Even Grouchy Hiker?
I don’t know about hiker. If everyone else from sanc adopted us, they might as well. Jus like “yeah… I GUESS I’ll adopt you”… but they secretly love it
Who's the spirit you most want to be adopted by and why?
He's our grandpa now weather he likes it or not
Young Skater's mom. I want a sister
WHY ARE YOU MAKIJG ME CHOOSE???
wait. waaaaaait.
waitwaitwaitwait
imagine sleepy ex-qg travelling to where the enchantment crew came from

would explain the lights
All of the spirits should offer hugs and double fives after relieving them 
Flight guide.
Ok guys I just put 2 and 2 together
Prepare for your minds to be blown
I mean I already consider the Enchantment spirits my many parents so
They sell spells, so they’re probably involved with enchantment somehow…. I am thinking. I don’t think they’re part of the ench crew necessarily just because they look so much different, but they probably met at some point.
They have the prairie pot mask so I’m going to guess they are from prairie. Maybe they saw the enchantment spirits when they came through their realm and were so fascinated they decided to start making spells as well?

Why? You ask?: cuz he offers hi-fives
Tbh, I'd probably choose Yeti, the Dreams guide, or the flight guide
thinking of their suuuper old design with black cape and staff
EX-QG WITH MAGIC 👀👀👀
I hadn’t thought about Yeti! They would definitely give the best hugs. 
My skykid basically just looks like a tinier, more feral version of the flight guide who is more inclined to commit crimes. It would be funniest for their lore if flight guide DID adopt them, however, personally I would not object to any adoption [okay… prophets are tmepting]
Sent a message in feedback
Hi-fives are the beeesst Especially when it’s your Faaav spirit!
Bloom is soon…hoping for high-tens from High-Ten
Sky recently got a $160 million from PIXAR
And now there is this "Animation Project"
AM I THE ONLY ONE SEEING THIS?!?!
slides in here How would the spirits react to skids trying to be like them?
Is the first one a rumor or do you have proof? I can’t remember seeing it anywhere, sorry
Mine uuuuuh
probs a bit proud

True, I saw a news report about it but it wasn't from TGC's news website
Edit: https://thatgamecompany.com/studio-raises-160m-and-welcomes-pixar-co-founder-ed-catmull/
hrngh. why am I hyping up a merch wave just to be able to see them again
I don't get the implications (I'm sleepy)
You didn’t read the full article. Sky didn’t get 160 million from Pixar. They just added someone from Pixar to their staff and have raised that much money so far. https://venturebeat.com/2022/03/03/sky-and-journey-maker-thatgamecompany-raises-160m/amp/
YIS
Ah ok, I misinterpreteded. But still, I think we may be getting a full movie or even a TV series
Yaaaaaaya 
Probably would find it adorable and also be like “but am I good enough for them to be imitating me??”
Cars 3 is part of sky lore confirmed
The pipes in GW social area implies that Mario is canon to the sky universe.
I know for sure one of the spirits is going to be so happy
I hope it's a proper animation. Imagine if it ended up being like 10 minutes long. (I'm sure I'd love it regardless because the switch trailer was gorgeous but still)
I want to SEE HOW THEY LIVED
WHAT THE WORLD WAS LIKE BEFORE THE DISASTER
I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED
No matter what it is, if it’s anything like the switch trailer, I Will Cry out of happiness and just heartbreakness. I am not emotionally ready for anything but I need to see it
I think it’s going to be longer. If even half of the stuff they showed in the concept art from that video will be in, then it would have to be…decently long to fit it all in without feeling super rushed.
speaking of crab call i absolutely adore that they default to stealth stance
Let’s get HYPED

Sky gets added to the Pixar theory and it quickly becomes ten times more confusing.
Debating doing ANOTHER reconstruction art of GW pre disaster with the new information, although I may just wait until it comes out. I want to do a hidden forest one first though…
For clarification: I have done a GW reconstruction before, but it was based off it being a salt marsh instead of a grassland
not-stance spirits having their own stances…I absolutely love that detail
I want to see elders. Like, if we're following the cute kid from the trailer then probably not, but I wanna know how common being around the elders was. Were they just 'our leaders we see sometimes' or were they cryptids only a select few (like flight guide) got to see
I want to see everything. Omg if they travel through the realms do you think we’d be able to see the reconstructed wind paths… I need that in my life…
There's a spirit series coming soon? Which spirits will be featured? Basegame or seasonal?
We have no idea
maybe both, considering that line up of spirits looks like it includes Commodore
We may see one! If we follow the Skid then it’s possible the animation could end with them, like, going to one of the Temples and seeing an Elder.
I want to see EVERYTHING
anyway I’ve been putting off the sapling (too special to simply do with the other dailies) and saying goodbye to abyss so uh
mayhaps i shall go do that
Omg reconstructed valley ? :0
The devs are either lurking and sweating profusely because the animation is going to be nothing like that, or going 'yes, yesssss, they're gonna go nuts later'
One last Abyss QG hug guys……
farewell, abyss…………………
set sail. i hope we’ve had a great time with it
lots of new lore from it
Even if it’s not like that, we’ll still go nuts. 
Maybe one of the spirit videos will start with something like
And so I wake up to another day of work. This will be a GOOD day, I know it! I'll carry the most pots and maybe I'll get the attention of the great Ayin themselves!
(Beat)
And then I fell.
Oof! OUhgh! ARgh!
I’m looking forward for tomorrow and the season of bloom
THEY DON’T DO HUGS I’M SO SAD I FORGOT ABOUT THAT
Also the way the ancestors are drawn makes me more confident in the head canon that we are basically them but kid shaped, anatomy wise. Which I think is really neat woohoo
silicon valley venture capitalists make me sick, i miss 5 minutes ago when i didnt know one was involved with TGC
Does everyone have their candles ready for DoB and the ts?
only thing i’m not looking forward to at all is empty home, but i’ll grin and bear it and just go straight into forest
Oof. I hope this doesn’t change your perspective on Sky as a whole.
I've been waiting for weeks. New days of bloom has proof of a theory of mine, but it has been beta forever
You relocated your home to Forest? Must be cozy
SOMEONE GIVE ME A PAPER BAG 
I love how we both discussed this a week ago, and both of us are waiting intently for that moment to bring it up again. 
What theory? The spirits sticking around?
Technically they've revealed enough in previews we can talk about it now 
It's the 'sky kids can eat' theory Bird
fortune has created my theory of the dragon being a mount and/or show prop of the gratitude troupe
oh no skykids can eat???
NO I ONLY RECENTLY COMPREHENDED THE ‘BREATHING’
Apparently they can chew
||what if their mask mechanism is the one that's chewing||
enjoy the cursed!
New tea table not only has tea, but little light cakes!
Which they are described as 'chewing' on to consume, which means they apparently also have mouths
Bruh I’m a sky kid
Seems that way! ||One of the IAP items for Bloom will allow them to eat.||
ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER MAKE IT STOP
/lh
through what hto
Now if a debate on if sky kids can eat shows up I can just post a picture of bloom table and run
/jk
maybe this is why offseason qg isn’t here for bloom. they fear this implication and wish to not have to overlook it
What do you mean? Their mouths?
by Vela
At this point I'm pretty certain they lack mouths for the same reason they have mitten hands.
I’m a sky kid I breath air , bleed golden stuff and E A T
it was the blinking. mechanical function of the mask.
and then it was the breathing. fire needs oxygen; they need to be able to supply the flame lest it be extinguished from pressure
not eating though no no no no no no no
Always been a personal theory that if they have blood, it’s more of a glowing golden liquid, like liquid light.
credit to fish
No they clearly have normal faces under the mask , Look at the Black mask
Their eyes and/or chests
how does it??? get absorbed through?? the mask????
maybe they just. make it look eaten from light projection?? they
Yeah, it’s just a joke drawing. If they had that under their faces…oof.
An idea of how skykids eat
- Insert edible item into eye
- Light inside incinerates edible item
- It smells good when it burns
(I don't think skykids can taste, but they can smell and thus they can appreciate what something smells like when it burns
Easy, they take the masks off but don't show it for gameplay purposes
About 80% of taste comes from smell Fruitzie
Yes this is how I view it too
“hello, dear skyk -
i take it back see you after performance”
The idea of Skids just sticking food into their eye. 
Is there a skykid concept art where they have mouths
that's why I don't believe that they have one
They shove food under the mask and Shove tea into The little cracks in their mask
skykids don’t have mouths though?????????
do they just absorb it through the holes in the clay they’re made of
Pic of skykid maskless for reference
Someone (including me): Maybe the sky kids actually have regular humanoid bodily functions and organs and stuff and all the extra stuff is gameplay/the fact that they're aliens
Lorechat: No, they have to eat through their eyes.
They keep their mouth shut 24/7/365
I believe they have mouths in-universe, just isn't shown in-game for whatever reason
Are you surprised? 
Digestion is easy for me to comprehend as it relates to skykids. The food would just get incinerated and turned into light.
Blinking is a bit weird because I don’t know why they’d need to do it, but them being able to is not.
Chewing and the acrual process of eating? Hmm… A bit harder. I can see skykids having mouths. Chewing is a bit weirder but now that I think about it, I can see it too. I still see them as charcoal shells with light inside, but am beginning to think that they still function like humans do in some areas, like eating. They’re just made up of different things
Is there a concept art where the skykids have mouths?
It's mildly exasperating
I think they eat through their eyes. Simply because it makes me laugh.
i think the blinking is from eyelids on the ma
oh no very very cursed idea
“why are you blinking so much”
“to chew my food”
That’s lorechat for ya 
I’m a sky kid and this is offensive to me
but yeah
You guys
The Ash has spoken long long ago
Vol you absolute genius this explains so much
And yet they eat
SO WHY DESIGN THE 2022 TEA TABLE LIKE TH - 
Another maskless skykid face for reference
Like said I’m a sky kid and a have a MOUTH
we are either smacking the light orbs into ourselves or inserting it ||through our eyes||
I do not see them having organs at this time, but that’s just because I think it’s cooler for their entire body and soul to basically just be really fiery and hot super concentrated light. Like the food just goes in and wooshhh incinerates instantly into light, powering them.
granted. I saw the 2021 tea table and didn’t even question how they could drink
spoiler tag that fruitzie
Fruitzie, that eye thing is disturbing and makes my skin crawl, please stop
True
thank you
Whats the average skykid height
I need this for...scientific research
Yeaaa! Stalp it 
they did, and even spoilered it.
if this is why offseason qg is so painfully absent from the bloom trailer then that explains everything as to why they’re not here this time
i don’t blame them to stay out tbh

The average sky kid is 3'2 it seems
YES! There is one! I found it! Top left, a few of them have mouths! https://mobile.twitter.com/thatskygame/status/1284977330994077698
hee hoo
(CW: Skykids with ||mouths||)
NO NO NO HELP ME NO NO NO
Hey, you asked, and I answered. 
to be fair she also says that so maybe its best not to take these messages too seriously 
I still laugh every time I see the nicknames. They're all double words and then u just got 'Daisy'
Ash makes a lot of jokes
it doesnt look THAT bad
You know what? The one on far right is cute. I can see skykids looking like that, just with glowing yellow eyes and darker skin as design alterations. Fight me
didnt' Ash say once they had a headcanon that skykids just splash tea all over their faces when they "drink?"
Yes, because it's what Ash thought was the funniest idea
I mean
I guess it WAS in Genchat so
if we ask them in Lorechat they'd probably confirm it (the mouth statement not this)
I never do that
What is so cursed about skykids with mouths-
im not drawing buff actor again
lol, is that how we summon Ash? They come to shame Vela for buff actor?
what does buff actor have to do with this
Who?
Somehow, everything.
goodbye
What is....what is buff actor...
i was gonna talk abt art direction and just hcs are hcs i think this is a just do ur own thing case but now im going to run at you very fast vela
it's exactly what it is
Admiring Actor
But buff
OK WHOS SPAMMIN 💛
I’m scared
Salem wrote a joke 'sold to valley elders' fic and it spiraled into young skater meeting rhythm troupe like they're a band, and admiring actor became buff actor (how their fans see them)
Vela runs fast, but Buff Actor runs faster.
will i ever escape my sins
Vela these are a blessing
Vela also drew this
I love how we accidentally morphed buff actor from a spirit given extra muscles into a borderline eldritch monstrosity disguised as a spirit
theatre ppl r just like that
Bruh
WwWhHhYyY
Salem, hilarious as always
Ash literally came in here because of buff actor, and Vela missed it because they were drawing that
A small price to pay for cheese snack.
i wish ash saw a wooly manta instead, now im the buff actor gremlin
I honestly found the way the Skid admiring Buff Actor was drawn more funny than Buff themselves. It was great. 
Ash says they lurk here, they've probably seen wooly manta
oh YOU think you have it bad? how am I supposed to explain the fanfiction /j
Ash lurks, pretty sure she saw wooly mantas galore
wooly manta
The start of buff Actor
It's fanart of your fanfiction. You worked together to make this
lore chat has always been about group efforts
This is TOO FUNNY
I will not let anyone judge me for that fanfiction, not even God. It is hilarious, I lose my utter mind every time I see it, and I have no regrets
No no
NO
excuse the awful notepad drawings with finger but
You shouldn't, it's amazing
reminder that Salem wrote this: #lore-discussion-spoilers message
and that's just the start
SAME
Lorechat really went nutty that day
YOOOOOO I LOVE THIS
eldars ??!
slink i am grabbing you and shaking you with my bare hands, very fast
I'm submitting more Sky fanfic to my grad class, there is no such thing as shame
The need for more lore is truly taking a toll.
THE VALLEY ELDARS!??!?!?!?!?
OUGHHHGHOUGHH < being shaken sounds
this is why we're actually getting an animation. Because they realized we got lore rabies
Hey. do you think confetti cousin and the dreams skater got in ship wars over the rhythm spirits. Yes or no.
but yeah this would explain a lot
I would join them.
Use’s fire boi to CRUSH the cursed image
Alasdair writes finesse fanfics about ||getting tacked to the wall by Cannoneer||
they're friends who beta each other's fics fite me
You know what? You are correct.
y e s
So specific, yet so true. 
it's not as bad as it sounds. the skid was fine
they crucified a child bro
they can be both, read eachother fics and get in ship wars
but their hands got busted
The comparison between me and alasdsirs fanfics is very funny
- sad noises *
the skid was fine
Clearly, this is a running joke in the sky server that i was not aware of until now
HOW ABOUT THEIR HANDS THOOOOORUWEUTAPGUJA;H
why would i take your word
Meanwhile I'm writing fluff where the valley elders inspired skater's dream in the first place
Just hold it against a bonfire and it’ll be good as new!
skykids can heal quickly as long as they have light. the skid was never without light so once they were let down, their hands healed up
Running jokes don't stay a secret for long
can i read the fluff ^^
Meanwhile I have
-a fic about a sad skykid
-a fic about Assembly becoming pirates
Don’t worry about it. At least they didn’t get murdered
It's not done, but I'll send you a snippet
Meanwhile the only Sky fic I have - the only story I’ve written in months - is a skid dying in Eden to save their friend
anyway. I shall go bid farewell to Abyss now
Fun FaKt : I’m a sky kid and I am ALWAYS ALIVE and B L O O D is running through my Veins
And all I have is:
A fic about a Skid falling into an unexplored Wasteland.
And a fic about a Skid getting scratched by a Krill and slowly turning into one.
*the second one sounds like a specific moment in demon slayer...*but ill let it pass because it sounds interesting
I understand sky has a dark, angsty underbelly, but I also feel like the only person who writes fluff, because anyone else not writing angst is writing crack instead
Never even watched that before, lol.
Hey guys. You know how in recipes there’s like this massive essay to read before you get to the ingredients. What do you think stretching guru would write there,
my Skyfics in the works
–my main Skyfic with skykids in the present
–Valley Elder(s) angst fic
–a backstory to the Abyss crew
Lorewise, the idea of Assembly but pirates isn't very crack.
Thanks to Salem.
ayo the second one could turn into a zombie/krill apocalypse
yoga and other health tips. Perhaps a few stories about his visit to the TS
I wanna write sweet stuff too, and I will, but I have so much lack of writing motivation right now, seems like I can’t write ANYTHING 
Its when you dont write fluffs or fanfics and instead write all the lore you understand into around 6 theories.
It could…but I have ideas to just keep it at one. 
Same, I'm stuck at like halfway done for my skater fic.
does the skid turn into a skid-krill hybrid or a full krill?
Writer’s block amirite
I still have yet to refund and buy a new bluetooth keyboard
Full Krill. Although there are many hybrid moments.
guess who's procrastinating so hard on schoolwork I may not be able to write today?
ive got uh
gay people and everything is going WRONG (unreleased bc i keep changing my enchantment hcs)
abyss quest 5 but with my sillay ocs :] (wip bc im LAZY)
scraps and one paragraphs docs that never got anywhere
scraps and one paragraph docs that never got anywhere
i feel called out
“Gay people and everything is going wrong” is this not just the entire plot of Sky
Family
dang....that really sucks. also it kinda reminds me of that movie about the guy turning into an alien, too lazy to check the name
I- you’re not wrong
Eden Elder is really just a giant Moth? I love it.
moff with a big head
The upgraded moth hairstyle from flight XD
headcanon that Light Whisperer copied their hairstyle from moths
Light Whisperer is- my favorite
But..the secret is that the light whisperer is a moth.
headcanon light whisperer is on the spectrum
all the Flight spirits are neurodivergent
YESSSSS
Vela here have my LW art 
ITS CUTE ^^ and whats with the abrupt silence XD
LW krilled chat somehow 
I see you, @formal skiff, you should probably sleep, brah 
I left for a little and y’all went brazzy 
What I miss o)-(
we're just looking in awe
WHY MUST YOU CALL ME OUT LIKE THAT
GET YOUR SNEEP SNORP BIRD!!!
I just updated the Assembly but pirates fic
Mmmmmmmbut-
But. No but. Sneep snorp is needed.Otherwise simple decombobulation.
I know………. Ok. Fine. If you see me on here again tell me I’m being a naughty skid.
Lookin crispy today lore chat
Good job. Go get your sneep snorp. FRUITZIE I SAW THAT SEND IT TO ME XD
I SCREENSHOTTED THE WRONG LINES
If it’s quiet in here I’m gonna give you more elder headcanons like it or not
Cannoneer was taken aback after being called ✨ c o o l ✨
this is the part where March is stanning them, basically
They’re not cool they’re a fire
i love how we took Cannoneer's level 2 and 4 emotes to mean they have minor fire powers and just ran with it
And cannoneer is happy.
Well you know what this means—
Elder headcanon time
Sky kids caught doing something bad edition
Wuh oh!
Then march accidentally harpooned his head...
if Cannoneer has fire powers and is in proximity to alcohol, wouldn't they just set the drink on fire?
That would've ended the fanfic
@frigid tinsel they are very dangerous
Abyss guide from then on out kept the harpoons away from both March and Cannoneer
Cannoneer only takes flaming shots
I can see this scenario happening
Who else is counting down for bloom
Chanting. “Flower capes, flower capes…”
I would like to read this
Getting ready to drain my candles but looking forward to it
Sky kids getting caught doing bad:
Isle elder literally scolds them
Like… there’s probably a life lesson in there somewhere but it’s mostly sputtered “I never!- I just— how could you?!” And no real sentences at all
Prairie elder cant even get angry at the sky kid ESPECIALLY if they do little puppy dog eyes. Would probably let them keep doing what they’re doing
||Forrest elder hits the skid with a hammer ||
Forest elder is pacing back and forth, doing hand gestures, and angrily telling the sky kid all the dangerous things that could have happened and why what they were doing is so bad
flower hair, flowery tea
Hope she didn’t hit them with the big hammer…
Valley elders were doing the bad things with them, wasteland elder cant get angry because hes disappointed in their upbringing and vault elder puts them in ||the drawer|| as time out.
Just pounding them on the head going “what. were. you. thinking?!?!”
valley twins join in.
…
That’s it
Golden wasteland elder gives them the talking to of a life time but is actually able to make the sky kid feel guilty enough to start crying—
Now they need to comfort the poor kiddo
Vault elder stares at them. The sky kid doesnt even dare think about what they were about to do.
Vault elder would lecture you for hours. It's like going to the principal's office
"ITS HIS FAULT "pointing to nothingness .....now run if you dare.
I feel like vault elder would give a sky kid a disapproving look and the kid would just go face the corner in shame
“Of course I’m not mad 
just disappointed
“
Vault elder would at most put the skykids in a lantern and float them 20 metres high for a timeout of 5 minutes. just disappointed...in your upbringing.
LADS WE MIGHT FINALLY BE GETTING WHAT WE WANT
SKY ANIME
someone give me a prompt to make elder scenarios I’m bored—
How eden elder died || credit to Barnabydixon !||
Elder thanksgiving/feast
The Elders encountering a Krill.
The vault elder finding out that the isle elder purposely helped the prairie elder put butterflies in the lanterns. when in actuality he was forced
Please there’s so many—
Doing originals over there because I find it funny
Lesson learned! Don’t eat mushrooms
enchantment
Elders encountering a krill:
To be honest isle elder probably accidentally summoned it. Do I know how? No. But do I see it as a total possible scenario? Yes.
Isle elder promptly adopted it
Prairie elder goes through all of the stages of grief and gets hit because they didn’t react fast enough
||Forest elder hits it with a hammer||
Forest elder is caught very off guard but prepares to strike and they have a momentary face off.
…
Forest elder hits it with a hammer
Forest elder and her hammer >>>>>>
But also- give her a Glock. For the funni.
Valley twins don’t actually want to fight it. They know well enough what the thing can do
They rapidly distract and confuse it by making noise, using fireworks, etc. and drawing it back to wasteland
Wasteland elder… well… is wasteland elder you think they’ve never seen one?
||Cries||
Vault elder is horrified and most likely to d i e to it
the vault librarians have to come to their aid as the vault elder knows what they are and can’t bring themselves to hurt it, dark creature or not.
im going that headcanon too- for fun! Encountering a krill. Wasteland elder insisted on a trip to his realm for sightseeing with the moths, Prairie elder was concerned and came alond and isle elder was having a minor panic attack without the squishy moths so they go alond too. Valley elders are practically moths so they go and vault elder sends a holographic lamp with a video call thing attached.
Some people: omg I'll miss season of abyss guide goodbye friend 😭😭😭😭😭
People who have been grinding for candles: DAYS OF BLOOM LETS GOOOOOO. ABYSS I OVER CRAB RAVE
both
They reach the first area and prairie elder is appalled at the brutality wasteland elder used to fight the krill and feels quite empathetic towards the krill, the moths are watching in awe, the valley elders are trying to go forth and fight one themselves. Then suddenly a huge krill appears to have targeted one tiny moff that strayed away from their group. This moff was precious as it was forests apprentice and everybody knew that they would be thrown to eden if they didnt save it. Now continue this for me mother because my hands need a quick break - - >
I haven’t seen the items but unless there’s a nice cape or some PANTS I’m gonna keep waiting for a season of rhythm ts
I have 6 seasonal candles. It matters little to me. (I thought Abyss was ending yesterday, so 6 is a surprise)
We need so many more pants. TGC I need skirts
Gimme a sky skirt and dress
elders as moths:
Isle elder is the one who keep going back to isle to reminisce and generally hangs out the floating islands around sky and nap/go afk
Prairie is the moth who really hates wasteland and eden and LOVES the peaceful areas.Also saving up for an instrument
Forest is the moth who braves wasteland alone and thrives at it. Probably the moth you see leading other moths around and trying to drag around the veterans
Valley twins are two moths who drag each other around and always fight about who takes who. They also learn ALL the secrets together and never miss a thing like spirits or winged light. Sometimes they get split and panic HÖNK until they find the other
Valley Elders have every node in the friendship tree unlocked, fite me
Forest elder is literally my bf I have been playing for two years and he ubered me through Eden 😭😭😭
Wasteland elder is a moth who really wants and needs friends in sky. They will follow their friends everywhere and although they’re nervous they are very excited for any adventure wherever it takes them
Vault elder is the moth who somehow knows everything. They’re very skilled at flying and could speedrun the whole kingdom without help first try. Regardless they act clueless so their friends feel good ‘helping’ them gather spirits and light
Vault Elder is the moth who bothered to study up on the game before installing lol
Depending how you were as a moth you now know which elder you are
I’m prairie lol
Now I purposely fight krill though so— oops
I'm probably Wasteland. I like being with people
I'm vault. I was always looking at maps and figuring out where all the areas were
U skyBot U
I’m going back to sneep
Give me fun facts about yourself and I’ll match an elder with you based on my headcanons—
Man I’m bored-
i can baa like a sheep
i cant make pictures in my head
I played clarinet for 6 years. I'm studying to be an optometrist. I've been with my bf for 4 years and we were born on the same exact day
I was Forest moth
Isle elder. I just… everything about that says isle elder
Funny, Confident , artsy, sky is my LIFE!!!,happy,
fan
continuation....even though im getting too into this, The krill begins to shine red light on the moff and wasteland elder is having a minor anxiety attack because forest will literally eradicate him for basically traumatising her apprentice, so he begins to run towards ze moff. Vault has turned the video call thing away, prairie is traumatised and is leading the othe moffs away, isle is standing (in the least). Suddenly the krill begins to launch towards the moff, only for a big hammer to smash down on the wasteland elders head knocking him unconsious and silently puttiing duct tape on the valley twins mouths as the mysterious figure destroys the krill in one go and leads the moffs away. The elders have been taken away and wasteland elder is now in hospital with a concussion. The end. oh and the valley twins were forgotten.🤌 Now peace out to my broken hands.
Vault elder. they create pictures from the constellations to see them in person 
Dark, tragic, and moody!
At least that’s what my Sky theories are like
I have never fallen asleep in face-to-face class but I sure am falling asleep during online class
I can turn 180 degrees while sitting without moving my legs. I am pretty flexible now solely because I was bored during quarantine, that’s the funnest fast I have
Forest elder. Although the same birthday reminds me of valley elder I see a whole lot of forest elder in you
Interesting. Welcome to the zodiacs of sky
You are very much the inner monologue of the prairie elder. Very happy go lucky and loves the cute creatures and details of the world around them
Same cuz I’m a sky kid and just don’t move my head I move the upper half of my body
Also forest elder 
Many would say wasteland but forest seems to brood much more over events
I can like yellow and purple.
Oh wow… true!
I also have managed to maintain my gifted kid status despite many things hitting the fan mentally
Your the valley elder —> 
I bet the other would mess with you a ton if you got a match
Alright I'm convince you can see through my screen because my outfit and makeup screams forest elder's classic "leave me alone or you get the hammer"
HMMMM- no.
match of what?
Forest elder. Someone says something under there breath and—
The other twin :3
They’d poke or mess around while you’re asleep in the online class hehe
I named my cat Queso
i have been called two-sided, i love yellow and purple and i like butterflies and space. Do what you like with that information 🤌
*writes "buff actor lover" on Mekh's face
you give me a mix of a few but prairie and isle most closely
Hard to place you with one of them so I’d say you have a pretty even mix of the two (especially with the butterflies ahaha)
That was many more of you than I thought—
Lots of prairie lol
Yea 
Most of us are deep down

So supposedly most of you are internally half bald like this
Waiiit BALD??? HALF BALD???noooooo.not me
Give me some spirits for a headcanon and you’ll find out what it’s for after—
light whisperer or anxious angler
Slumbering Shipwright
Fainting soldier
Crab whisperer and peeking postman.

That fire prophet I can’t, I remember that 
They are me but I’m 100x smaller
Oh I can do that too
Light whisperer doesn’t really try at just dance but it’s also because they’re nervous and a little embarrassed
Anxious angler will go hard on their own but is also very nervous with others
Both of them get along together and after playing for a while both get into it
Slumbering shipwright gets too tired and out of breath after two times and needs to take a break. Promptly naps.
Fainting soldier lives for just dance and practically makes up their own moves
Crab whisperer tries so hard and keeps getting “okay”
….probably cried about it later
Peeking postman is nervous and thinks they’re bad but they keep getting perfect scores all the way through
Fire prophet beats everyone. Knows all the dances by heart. Five stars all over the place. Has won every achievement
Ye 
O crab I have an AMAZING IDEA
|| Sky : children of the Brain ||
Fire prophet ( im sorry about the anime reference but...)- set your heart ablaze and learn this dance by heart, young yellow boy
Are you saying I’m burning??? COOL na jk owch 
I mean I even posted a video on YouTube about me Spinning, and I hate winter months
I to an extent hate moffs-
Not the moths—
yes the moffs
I dress up as them time-to-time
NOOOO…. Fun fakt : everyone is a moth inside
I DONT HURT THEM BUT I DONT LIKE TAKING THEM AROUND AND THEM TRYING TO TAKE ME AROUND AND BONKING INTO STUFF...Fun fact: i am a solo player ^^
Oooh yea that’s annoying me solo too
I usually play solo because all of my sky friends are on the other side of the planet
Thats why whenever im at cozy chat and theres no one there i always say that that cozy chat is sneeping ^^
I'm proud of you for getting enough sneep snorp, @outer hare
According to my statistics, the Sky kids who sleep at least 8 hours a day are more likely to be... you won't believe it, less sleepy, amazing, right? 
The veteran who adopted me is across the pacific so
And then some because I’m inland
By 3 timezones
It was incredibly lucky I even met them lol
Oh and i like your pfp! And all the vets that raised me have stopped playing-
They took me through Eden my second time, we go together every so often
- rubs eyes in shock *
YAY!
YELLOW BOY??
yellow
GIRL actually but I don’t mind
Thanks the pfp is a picrew
Is there a name for the big multi-eyed creature in season of abyss?
Nope
Hmmm
ppl call it the leviathan, ruby, king krill and a variety of other nicknames
OH THOSE R COOL
names for the big boi I've seen:
leviathan, shadow leviathan, dark leviathan, great leviathan, Levi, Ruby, king krill, mega krill, Kraken Leviathan, Big Fish, giant fish, krill mother, elder krill, manyeyes, fluffy, Spikey, Jorm the Worm, big mama, big papa, Gerald, lore.
thats a lot of names
That's big mama krill to you
this is what happens when you don't release an official name
They may not even have one.
I wouldn't be surprised if TGC has like a dozen names for the thing as well and they can't decide which is better.
I know there's this creature that has a name, but TGC isn't allowed to say it in external material
Not sure what it is
can you please add Gerald to the list
every time alasdair posfs the list people ask him to add more. I am not complaining, it is hilarious and I love Gerald
can we call it "lore" because that's deep
You can't really call it a krill, since it's nothing like one.
it's a kind of black worm with red eyes
it also has krill minions
Half expecting Skybot to show up with the "it's not that deep" aaaaany second.
Who says they work for it?
me /lh
they're both beings of darkness
I imagine the Krill would show deference to it, but little else.
They were all trapped in one large chamber forced to be around eachother so... Of Course they be near it.
well it's not like they're attacking each other
I wonder if they can even "see" each other. We know the Krill only react to beings of light like us...but would they even be able to sense beings of darkness? Or would they be invisible, in a way?
Well yeah, they have to reason too as their all dark creatures they mainly just ignore eachother. I was just saying the whole minion thing didn't seem right.
it was mostly a joke, that's on me
but yeah the way levi and the krills were arranged gives that "King + 2 soldiers" vibe
resh jumpscare
Don't scare me like that. 
of course that gif is on tenor
what did i miss
the top right one concerns me
thank you
lol
how did they get shots that make prophecy guide look clumsy
There was a glitch at the end of one of the trials where they fell over like that.
If it was, our phones would go up in flames. 
OH NO!!! THEY'RE TOO GOOD! *falls over
yknow, if the king was a proto-skykid, they wouldn't have been that tall
Me and alasdairs headcanon of the king are exactly the same height. That’s super neat
Didn't that one art have the king as a sky kid, but just standing at the very top and center of the "Crown".
late thanks but.. Thank you so much for giving me a special quote thing!❤️
Yea, under “King.” There’s a theory that the king wasn’t actually that big, just piloting a ginormous mechsuit
Exactly! Probably a big dark stone inside that thing.
Prince.. give me the mask
Sky: Neon Genesis Evangelion
I let the king grow a little taller than contemporary skykids since they’re ✨ special ✨
Vault elder is just the king in a costume #real
Vault Elder can say they’re taller than king even if some ancestors towered over them
Whenever I hear about someone being even slightly shorter than me I go yes.s……. hehehehe
someone edit Resh here
Isn't that the OOB in Eden?
PLEASE. Someone draw resh in that one Shinji pose
If third impact starts playing during my next Eden run I'm blaming y'all
Ok
Question is there any publicly available concept art for some of the earliest seasons? Gratitude and Lightseekers in particular
Lightseekers
Done!
Oo ty
literally >:( face
They did streams or something on older seasons, right? Where they kinda explained some of their processes behind them
Oh … 
Why so angry, Resh?
some one ate their lemon cake :(
He got woken up early today
someone finished thier cheese snacks
Resh is one of the edgy kids who just never grew out of their edge
No he woke up early 
Looks at You Know Who.
Resh can have a little height. as a treat.
the first time i typed this I accidentally put my instead of their… I’m too tired for this, help
porofecu guide stole it all :(
Smol Resh.
with overalls
It would explain a lot if a Chibi mask was hidden under there.
That crown looks like it's made out of coral.
And then I fell.
oopsey dasey
I think we won
Dressing as a historically accurate wasteland citizen.
It makes a lot of sense though
The sandy dunes and what seems like some harsh winds it would require heavy clothing to protect the skin
True, but remember that the Wasteland used to be green, so this is post desertification clothing. I wonder how the old green style clothing looked. 
I would say due to its proximity to both the vault and Eden. It would be more regal
so close to or after the apocalypse?
Presumably, yeah. Back when they thought they could still reverse stuff.
does that imply that Team Enchantment ISN'T just some regular Wasteland citizens?
...Maaaybe?
Like I said a couple bits ago
I think capes are worn by more important people, or by some who might’ve stolen off of dead corpses. Hence why if you look at say, the frightened refugee and the praying acolyte you can see a difference!
So going off of that your able to see the enchantment team as possible more important person people cause something that I forgot to mention was maybe a capes were really expensive and only those with like the upper jobs could get them
That would be interesting! If all the Enchantment people were part of the "upper class."
How do kids (Scolding Student and Assembly QG) get capes then?
(my headcanon is that QG's cape isn't a real licensed cape but lorewise how)
Maybe they're the children of important people.
^^that could also be true and they could’ve also stolen them
Does the bottom right pic say “eating” because if so ???
I think it might say "barfing"...
This is also just a mood
I feel like it might be eating, otherwise he'd be shoving his face into whatever he's throwing up.
No arms?!
WHY do they eat like that then
eating grass, probably
It looks like he's holding the end of a ledge and barfing over it.
I love how this is just. never explained anywhere else on the sheet
no. only stubs. The sudden silence hurts me but i guess everybody is busy sneeping 
Right. I forgot that theft is a perfectly plausible solution for those seven heckers.
Mhm! It was mostly an explanation for the abyss crew all though I did note the valley theme in one of the cutscenes
Oh
Djshhehehrhrhrhrheh
It’s cool!
Cozy chats going out of control so im just going to calm myself here for a sec. HUFF oh and i still think that picture is someone barfing ^^
Barfing what? Despair? Corruption? Cheese?
existence
If you want to calm down, do you have lore questions? I'll try to tell you what we have on them!
edit: You want wooly manta? Okay!
Thanks for the manta! Matcha was feeling sad so i promised her a pat from the wooly manta too! ^^
Wooly mantas for Alex
Most of these belong to Vela
Except for
Image 3: TrickyWolfer
Image 4: Tebkanlo
Image 5: Me
WOOLY MANTA
Thanks so much Fruitzie! I knew youd have some wooly mantas stored ^^
WOOLY MANTASS
Ok so I saw a theory a while ago but I can’t remember who said it, that is basically the sky world is where be go when we, yk, lifen’t and it’s like an afterlife realm and when we ascend through Eden we leave and get reincarnated back on earth… I thought that was a really cool idea and honestly I wish it was true
It's based on a concept art back when the human world was still involved in Sky's story
Hey me too. I am the 2nd from the right on the bottom row.
I lost 4 wings today
and krilled my candles to talk to them but they speak Russian
my perfect 80 wings are RUINED I need hugs even tho this isn’t cozy
The family of thatdisaster had someone who asked whether we are just reincarnations of lost souls ( as well as everything else) ...what do you think??
what lost souls?
I wonder if the entire Sky World is still to this day in the lore at TGC considered a spirit world relative to the more solid and mundane Earthly world. It would explain why they wear masks even while alive, and why they would refer to themselves as spirits even while alive. Maybe it’s a semi-spirit realm, lower than the higher spirit realms of Orbit and beyond.
It definitely was in concept, but we don't know if it is now
If it is, it's less explicit
How does Sky's world being a semi-spirit realm explain why they wear masks?
It’s kind of an anime or maybe old Eastern trope I guess that some spirits wear masks.
Ooo now that you say that it makes me think maybe the spirits in the sky world are older spirits who didn’t move on when they passed through the eye of eden and instead stayed in that world
If so...
why?
Like in Spirited Away, those spirits just live there like that’s their society even though they’re on what we might call a lower spirit plane.
I mean
Why were they unable to move on? Did something go wrong in Eden?
Maybe you only get a certain amount of lives passing through the human realm and once you live all of those lives you stay in the sky world forever
Sorry i didnt phrase that properly, i mean souls that didnt get to leave their memories/spirits behind. Souls that didnt get to ascend i guess 
And that’s why there are elder spirits, they were the first to live all their lives and are the oldest among the spirits
nearly 2 minutes....
I know the season just ended, but I had a question. I could've sworn that right after the 4th quest of Abyss, I ||saw a krill flying above the water briefly||. Not sure if I was imagining or not. Did anyone else see that?
I Love lore discussion .. people pay interest and support to my mental health
Uhhh... thanks?
I bet you haven't seen our insane side yet
Have Not really only the surface but this is MY fav channel
Ah, you sweet child...
Do you have any lore questions?
Nah I just want to hang out and talk about fire prophet. My beloved
we share so much I’m common .. || but I look like a bean||
Duly noted.
Yay 
Ok ok. I have a whole theory going. (Here bc the server is down lmao)
Ok so Season of Prophecy: because there is no “the darkness is coming” part in the prophecy, I think it was made while they already knew about the darkness coming and the prophecy was a last ditch effort. The prophecy they got was “someone will come down, master the element trials, ascend us all, and spread light to the land.” So they started testing and training each new spirit that came to see if they are the chosen one.
Also fun fact: the spirit guide is in the Fire Prophet’s memory as a student. (Also a lot younger)
Will attach videos. Don’t mind my friend haha. They’re just vibing with me.
Don’t mind my flying. Not my best moment haha. Also sorry friendo for posting your practicing. If it makes you feel better, you’re anonymous haha
Also: no way that the hair styles lining up with the spirits in Daylight Prairie is a coincidence
Very sure that they’re the same spirits, just younger
When you ascend a spirit, their model turns yellow
Their model is also yellow in every instance they appear, such as their memories...
and other spirit's memories
If none of them are yellow, it either means you haven't ascended the spirit you think it is, or the student isn't using the same spirit model as the spirit you think it is
Are you sure? By the time I took this photo, I had completely finished Aisle of Dawn. I’m pretty sure the yellow spirits is just the spirit you’re following
Because there’s no way that guy isn’t this guy
Yes, spirits turn yellow when you buy their ascended node
Their models aren't the same, the one in the first pic doesn't have a jar, the one below doesn't
It's a technical thing, not a spirit identification thing
The one above could be the one below but off the job
Or they could be 2 different Isle priests who look the same because priest uniform and such
But the other prophets aren’t yellow?
Have you ascended them??
Yup
Earth Prophet is
Hm. Glitch? I bought all of their WL
They’re kinda yellow
I have a theory that may not make any sense...perhaps skykids were a backup plan made in secret by the isle elder because he knew that what the king was doing was wrong and would result failure. Salem said that it wouldnt be possible because the isle elder couldnt possibly by himself have that much power. Then i thought about it and realised that in lore it was possible that they were made quite quickly...hands are mittens, only power is spells, flying and nonsensical honking and are built quite small considering other creatures in sky....the stone art is isle is made by the isle elder himself to educate the new skykids. Oh and if this is all nonsesical i still have a question....who made the stone art actually because it seems to have been made after the apocalypse.
Oh. Actually, it’s kind cool. Through the Troupe greeter I learned that there were spirits after the apocalypse. They just also died out eventually. I think they could have drawn them? In the moth male spirit’s memory, you see drawings on the walls
If they (stone art) were made after the apocalypse then it might’ve been the survivors
troupe greeter is also post-apocalyptic?
See how the spirit is using rubble to hide?
I think so. Those boats are burried and it would have to have been a long time before Troupe could use them like this
I need you guys to critisize my theories and have a great day ^^
like what?
Point out anything thats at fault and why its not true so i can fix it ^^ and thanks if you can...sorry for wasting your brain cells right now TwT
No no, you’re good. This is fun haha
Go for it XD
Spirits can teleport
At least, seasonal guides
no I mean
what theories do you got? I'm not that much a one to criticize because I'm not as dedicated to amassing screenshots but
well, what have you got?
This one i randomly typed a few minutes ago #lore-discussion-spoilers message I want to waste brain cells today ^^
I can't vouch for its objectivity, but what I can say is that this theory proposes something very unheard of
Usually people think it's either Megabird or the King who made us
but this
well yeah it's unheard of
That's not a good or bad thing however
edit: it just is
:0000 I was so confused how Troupe got onto the temple island but this would make sense. These pictures are one after another. There was no sign of a boat from what I saw.
Edit: but also it doesn’t make sense why they would use boats if they could do this. Is this an ability only a few have?
Thx, its just unusual XD ( im going to be using tis word al the time now)
They swung onto Megabird's noodle feathers like Tarzan and got to the other side /j
OoOoo.. but dang thats a far distance to teleport 😅
Okay guys what do Troupe Greeter and Lightseeker Guide have in common?
Is this a joke TwT or are you serious XD
yes
WHICH ONE?!
the one you said
Lmao they’re both weighty. That’s all I got lmao
fruitzie......i will use the jellybrella to stab you.....tell me XD
||It's a joke||
also this is why we don't put faces on roses
:0
THAT FIRST PICTURE LOOKS LIKE A SCHOOL PLAY IVE SEEN HDBJHVBBBV-
God
Moving on haha. For @outer hare
I have a theory that we are the same creature as the spirits, just… still alive. (I’m nurturing all my theories rn haha. Only have screenshots and videos for Aisle of Dawn)
But then that begs the question of why can we fly but they can’t? Maybe it’s because they don’t have enough WL? They can give us Wing Buffs so clearly they have some (or wing buffs are made from something else)
It was also really confusing to me why the spirits had capes if they can’t fly
It would be like a chosen one trope, where we’re the same creature, just special bc we’re special
Why do spirits have capes if they can't fly?
Well, it's heavily implied (maybe once stated) that Navigator's cape looks like that because it's also a traffic signal device, but I don't know if any of the other capes have a special purpose
Or maybe spirits CAN fly, but they absolutely need wind, kinda like IRL wingsuits?
perhaps wl only began to appear after the explosion, taking place with skykids that couldnt get to eden......before the explosion, capes were only for the higher castes or those favoured by elders and didnt allow them to fly...IS THAT A DECENT THEORY BECAUSE YOU ALL JUST WHOOSHED AGAIN XD
My running theory is that spirits with capes only have 1 wedge (so they wouldn’t fly because it’s not really efficient for them. Kind of like you wouldn’t build a chicken coop with the purpose of flying in mind. (Because they’re not that good at it) but then why don’t they have stars?) I don’t know. I’m figuring it out haha.
And haha… I miss a lot of jokes. Social cues? What are those
Oh also. I’m pretty sure that spirits are born in Aisle of Dawn and then have to offer a candle to the elder to move on to the next world. Based on these screen shots
But there’s also inconsistency with this. There are several children in Valley of Triumph as well as a spirit with parent in their name, so can they reproduce? Is a parent just someone who adopts a young spirit? Did the children in VoT just get speed ran through it??
LMAOOOOO
…. Is the “mother” in this picture yellow enough to be an ascended spirit?
I think how do I put it.... built different? Different breed?
If my knowledge served right there is only 3 race? (I think is 2) us winged children, normal spirit and elders and there is the one and only Intelligent living being the BearHug Hermit aka the Yeti. Yeti is the only Creature that is intelligent being and who's stayed away for others expect the Dream Skater and peeking Postman.
Yeti is the same species of ancestor as any other
are elders and king a different species or are they just spirits with good rng for stats
I think the elders are not the same species as ancestors, but we don't know what the king is.
Now I want to go to Eden and become a special Sky kid.. a Ded Sky kid!
|| jk||
Yep they were all born spirits 
Yeah, the king is still a bit of a mystery but thanks to creaters sharing the history, i cant help but be uncertain. Maybe they once were, idk.
Ancestors can reproduce, yes (though that doesn't necessarily mean they do it the human way), since several spirit memories have spirit children in them. Confident Sightseer has a child in theirs, and young skater + the scouts from assembly exist. Then there is the child from the switch trailer. Weather they can reproduce as spirits is up in the air. I have a theory that they're all actually still around, but other people think they're deader than dead and only temporarily descend sometimes to help us.
As detailed the world of Sky is, I am very certain that us skykids do not have learn about the birds and the bees when it comes to ancestors.
Can we accept the Stork Tale and leave it at that?
probably lol
Even if sky kids could also grow up and reproduce, they don't even necessarily reproduce like ancestors (Though, I actually doubt that, since sky kids seem more and more to be 'ancestors, but they can fly now')
Skykids are fireproof, can take a rock to the head and keep skipping along like nothing happed (maybe lose their light, but wont suffer a concussion), can fly (as you stated), and change their appearance at a moments notice.
Ancestors on the other hand do not change their cosmetics (at least not often when it does not come to events), cannot fly, need to rest eat and drink, have a soul and live in a civilisation.
Sure, Sky ancestors are not exactly like humans, though they are based on human living and civilisation.
Raider, saying 'ancestors but they can fly' was just an incredibly simplified thing, not me saying it's the only difference period
Also, young skater changes her cosmetics in dreams. I think they don't change for simplified game reasons, not canon reasons
"cannot fly"
(I thought that I mistyped at fist)
Skykids are similar to ancestors, though I do not think they are ancestors.
For what little worth the concept art still holds, a skykid stands a better chance at being a descendant (similar but different) than being an actual ancestor that got the ability to fly and sort of immortal (due to being reborn). That or a hybrid that includes the ancestors and something else (either Light itself, the elders or the King).
I don't think sky kids are ancestors, I meant that in a 'they are crazy similar way'
goodness gracious, thanks for saving the video.
Yes, that is the same eel we now have in the game. Unless I am dead wrong and TGC can send me down to Davy Jones locker for it.
The creature in the current game though is much smaller, in addition to another version of this creature, of similar ginormous size, becoming a corrupted creature.
I imagine Eden elder to look a lot like a moth but his hair is more messy and sadly there is no Ahoge on his head and the Diamond print design thingy is more complicated and detailed , do you think the same?
like so?
Also, just now noticed the little orb.
If that is a cheeky little detail that implies this skykid is related to the king, it would be epic.
It could just be a lamp-like object or the Sky kids snack
I like to think it's a toy ! Like a dog ball.
Well now I can’t get that out of my head but could also be true
ooo food
Yum. if that’s edible I’m going to eat it , I don’t care if it’s been on the floor for over five seconds
Skykid: sees a light orb
"Ooh, lunch!"
Or maybe it’s a jawbreaker
that glows in the dark
welp, to think it was not possible.
Light orbs being jawbreakers and skykid can now include Ed Edd and Eddy in the joke section of the Lorechat.
Skykids were once the dogs of this world...
until everyone died.
Now they're therapists too
Wanna listen to a hc I have if humans try to accept skid friendship candles?
SURE! DO THEY GET INCINERATED INSTANTLY?!
My headcanon for humans accepting candles from sky kids is that they can accept the candles but are converted into bracelets, rings, or necklaces that have the blessing symbol, bonus too if the blessing symbol has yellow liquids that fill up whenever the skid tries to upgrade the friendship constellation
Ah
I admit that's a lot better :D
That's so cuuuuute
sounds a bit like the motes concept.
Someone wants loooong hair
Vault elder will now come downstairs late at night to see a little gremlin sky kid stealing light orbs to munch
Skykid with light orb dog toy...
Once upon a time, skykids were the dogs of this world.
And then everyone died.
It was at this moment... that the skykid... had to become...
A Sky therapist.
Hello Sajain!
If the Ancestors'/Spirits' capes acted as wingsuits, we'd see more "drop-off towers" scattered around the kingdom. They're towers whose sole purpose is to serve as a high ground for the Ancestors to jump off and fly with their capes, kinda like a diving board. Though, I think the most logical explanation for the capes, at least for me, is that they were worn because they used to be the trend and or they were very functional. Humans wore capes for a long time and had only been replaced by jackets recently. They protected people from rain, served as wind breakers, provided warmth and they looked really cool. Perhaps the question is why Sky Kids were made to use capes for flight and not for other practicalities like what I mentioned with humans earlier
If we replace the Sky Kids' capes with wings, they will still be functionally the same. Perhaps Megabird had a good sense of fashion so he made sure "default" Sky Kids wore capes as a callback to the kingdom's past fashion before everything died
The power cut out . It feels like I’m in fire trial rn 
The only difference is if you trip, you don't respawn 
Well, I do have that headcanon that skykids are made to look somewhat like ancestors
Megabird COULD make the skykids glowing walking winged lights with actual wings
But a walking winged light approaching a spirit would be like a biblically accurate angel approaching a human
The ancestor would be too scared and overwhelmed to respond or do anything helpful
Yeah, like this
if a walking winged light were to approach an ancestor...
"Be not afraid" they said, "honk" they heard
Imagine if the biblical Sky Kids ended up learning 50 different ways to show fear because all of the spirits that they had approached all got scared in their prescence
'The kids can only verbally honk' will forever be the best thing ever.
Imagine tho, just a chibi kid and suddenly some biblically accurate angel shows up
Chibis feel like biblically accurate angels
They're like the stereotypical renaissance cherubs
the screaming babies?
The ones with the cupid bows 
So many light orbs were consumed today
The children no longer have to wait for Granny to provide
too bad they don't actually provide wax, that would be OP
I imagine they taste smell like wisteria
It would also lean toward 'pay for an advantage' and I'd despise with with a passion.
I think the tea tastes like Wisteria, while the pink set has Sakura tea. Both are apparently real teas, I checked. (If Wisteria was somehow dangerous to consume, I'd have defaulted to both are sakura tea tbh)
I think they probably just taste like basic cakes, but it'd be cute if they had jam inside.
Wisteria is poisons to humans, tho it may not be to sky kids. Tho the teas inside the tea set looks like a brown color
I don't think skykids CAN get poisoned in the same sense humans can.
Darkness is the only poison to us.
Ohohohoho I’m gonna make light orbs in real life now
Tho again I’m going with that likely the tea and food are light based in some way, based on the color
then I'm defaulting to 'it's all sakura tea'
Could be a type of black tea though
what will you be using? edible flowers? fresh grass? eden cheese?
lol, I suppose to the spirits, that would not matter to them.
If they can eat, imagine their diet.
I’m gonna eat so many light orbs
Gremlin sky child illuminated by the fridge light as vault elder wakes up for the noise
I'm gonna take my tea set to the elder oob and share snacks with them
How badly do you think the spirit hanging out at the tree wants to join in when people have a tea party below it?
Like c’mon man we have an empty seat 
I like to imagine they occasionally take a snack from the tray
and then it falls through their mouths because they are dead
They were just walking around nearby us 
Poor fella

That actually annoyed me
If sky can have visitor from another dimension, the skykids better not be able to say "beetlejuice."
nooo! I want them to join my tea party
spirit deserves just as many light orbs as I do 
honklehonce
Don't worry, they're only capable of honking and gesturing vividly. Though, I wonder if you could use the honks at different call frequencies to make any word at all (that isn't ha)
CW: ||eye gore||
If you stuck corks ||in both a skykid's eyes and chest hole||, would they be unable to honk?
Sky kid becomes the talking piano
When we're underwater, the honk is muffled. Stuff being around them does not stop the honk
how do you halt the honk then
You don't :)
Literally, they will honk as disembodied souls, there is no stopping these kids
Do you think if enough sky kids HÖNK at the same time the world could end
[gradually approaching honking… the ground starts shaking… millions of tiny footsteps… big honks.. little honks.. HÖNK HÖNK HÖNK HONK]
*synchronized honk
subtitles: they're GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!!!!!
The kids any time a temporary spirit leaves
like imagine this but 1000000000000x stronger
Ok. But sense confirmed that sky kids can eat, that means sky kids can bite
Which means skids can nom!!!
what if that mask slit
they can open it up
*EAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I mean, if the masks are a light construct, it actually makes sense why food goes through the mask. It's not actually there
Vela teeth diagram
Okay, so it seems the thing with Wisteria is that the pods and seeds are toxic as heck, but the flowers themselves are edible to some extent
No. Sky kids just have sharp teef.
So im coming back to the game did my username happen?
The krills aren't edible but the kids can eat snacks
Krills probably taste horribly
Burned shrimp?
Or maybe raw shrimp
Expired burnt shrimp
They probably smell like old attic cloth and what wood smells like if it has been under the sun for too long
mmmm sundried wood
the most flavorful
Spirits can teleport, interesting 
I know they may have recycled the sky kid animation, but it's strange how they didn't just dissappear the candle and use the normal standing up position...
Maybe ancestors could have chest lights too ?
They ascended, did a tarzan swing on Megabird's noodle feather, then came back down, simple
/j
Final vid, here's the gratitude bells we can hear when an IAP is bought !
Well, spirits definitely have it, it's literally their soul
Whether or not they actually used it when they were alive...
I'm sure candles are just a way to visualize light and be poetic since candle light is notoriously frail, especially so we can quickly make a difference between the candle counter (currency) and flame counter (life when you're out of wl). But in canon maybe they were just a means to carry light offerings and ancestors didn't have litteral candles in their chest 
The candles
we give it to them so that they can pay Megabird for their sins
or something I have no idea really
Just noticed but the "orb" emitting light may mean it's a candle seen from above 
Just a shower thought
Where do skykids store their candles?
inside themselves
inside that core hole in their chests that never goes away no matter what pants you put on
My sky kid would eat candle wax no question
I have never tasted wax..
Also for your conversation way back of a human accepting a sky kid candle
I just picture they physically have a candle whos flame will not go out… ever
humans get a candle they can stick in a lantern
Missin out man
Munch munch and crunch
*sticks candle in my grandma's gravestone
It tastes like crayons
Have we worked out the biology of the sky kids?
Some people certainly have ideas they really like. I know Alasdair has a really thought out idea
You rang?
Correct me if I am wrong, when the season ends, you get the same bell sound too?
What you heard probably is the ring of the convertion candles; that's a different sound !
oh...
So essentially the lot of us are pretty sure skykids are not biological, fleshy beings. Rather they’re prob golems, made of inanimate materials brought to life with magic.
My Working Theory on the Composition of a Skykid
–clothing, hair, masks & other cosmetics made of light.
–a humanoid physical shell made of some magic-induced earthen material (i.e. clay, stone, ash, charcoal, meteorite) that has a hole in the chest and eyes.
–this hollow shell is full of light, such as winged light and neutral light.
–their cape, a manifestation of winged light.
–their flame, manifesting as the light in the hole in their chest and held outside their bodies via a red candle.
–their soul, appearing as a blue sparkle.
Someone seems to have put actual clothes on them though, since when unlit they wear default pants
My current mood is default pants
I imagine that they’re just created with the clothes on. Like, first their shell and soul and all that is made, Megabird slaps some default clothes on them, and then sends them down from Orbit.
Happy bloom everyone!!! First thing I did when I woke up was get that cape
We don't want to be indecent of course they put clothes on the sky kids
I bet valley elders would wander around different realms and:
“Did you just see that skid face plant??? Lmao”
Hey lore buddies!
Anybody have an explanation for this? 
krill claw marks?
something with claws scratched up the jar. What happened, what did it and when is still up for debate.
What’s the most common theory? 
As far as I heard (though may have missed a couple of conversations about it), it could be a crab, a small krill, or even something else that has claws. Which no enemy in the game so far has that would be a definite suspect.
or marks from dropping it from a large height
that is a possibility.
Although that is one the only jar with that mark in the temple, right?
Or am I mistaken?
Yeah, I think it is.
Teth scratching post
That was me, sorry guys
That would make sense. And I presume that the consumption of wax makes their flame more powerful?
And then winged light allows for more light to be stored in the shell, or perhaps winged light modifies the cape
you're free to interpret thing as however you'd like since we don't have any clear info on how skykids function.
though I think the opposite – flames are rather weak. winged light makes their flames more resilient and, when their flames are extinguished, they can thrive off their flames. skykids need light to function. their flames serve as a constant power source. winged light serves the primary purpose of flight but the secondary purpose of extra power. underwater, winged light protects their flame from going out for whatever reason (which goes into oceans are realms of darkness that I don't have time to explain in length).
"wax" is the community term for what's called "pieces of light" in game. I don't think skykids use this neutral light for power but rather to make their cosmetics. skykids have some degree of light manipulation. they may feed off their neutral light too. that remains unclear. they definitely use it to rechagre.
GUYS.... GUYS I JUST FOUND OUT... DO U KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS FOR THE LORE OMGGG
Seal pubby my beloved 
Do you think the young prince every tried to run away? Not to be the leader of the sky kids but to just live his life?
Is that the Light Whisperer from Season of Flight? But living version?
I don’t think it is, but that would be extremely cute, and I hope they are the same person now
I have no idea but i can hope so kajksjs
Prince rapidly candle running:
The elders: please— this isn’t what we meant when we said you have the whole kingdom—
I think it means wooly mantas are real 
this truly brought 'might be a sky kid' into new territory for me. Weird sky kid behavior let's go
Prince, burning every last piece of darkness in sight: aNd I Say let there Be LiGhT
OMG FLUFFY KRILL ARE IN THE CARDS
I feel like if they included a familiar spirit, they would make them look the same in order to be recognizable. Maybe not exactly the same age wise, but similar enough clothes and hairstyle
The prince, gesturing and honking wildly, copying anyone who shows them a new action, trying to buy people's pants
“Please, my liege, you’ve been racing on the slopes for three days now…”
“I don’t have to stop having fun! I’m the Prince!”
he comes across the admiring actor like "pls sir... give pant"
Prince cheats and takes a shortcut in the flying race
The valley elders still haven’t noticed and are very concerned about how he beats them every time
Would the prince be one of those handsome players?
The Prince?
nahh I'm def getting wholesome gremlin vibes (although he probably owns all the handsome cosmetics)
The Switch cinematic trailer is one of my favorite Sky things, so this new animation teaser is adding to fondness and anticipation I already feel.
Veteran who still looks like a moth
Who's the Prince?
His hair for that type of player would be so long it would reach the ground.
Oh, so you think, no can it be? The animation features t h e prince?
So idea. The prince might have a different identity and being a wholesome gremlin in the world of sky
who is the Prince
We're not entirely sure. It's either the king or someone else
No I mean like I've never heard of them
prince uses eden kings crown to control him like ratatouille/j
In concept art, there is a funny masked character known as the Prince and another character or same character known as the corrupted King. Devs have noted that there is a real character in the lore who is the Prince, and that their role in the story is not yet revealed.
Ohh ok
Yeah. But other than that, we know very little about them. All pure speculation.
It’s just the little prince in disguise and it’s why people didn’t like his season
They picked up the corrupted vibes
Funny character idea: reincarnated prince pretending to be a normal skykid
“Hello fellow kids”
No one can tell because they all just think he’s a new moth—
Also, what's the light in the sky in Eden?
Some common speculation is that the Prince was a powerful entity similar to a sky kid, and this character won the trials of Prophecy, and became the King. And then the society advanced and lost its way and the King became corrupted by darkness and then ….. the future. We are here and there’s a storm and they are all history now except their spirits.
Not the eye, but directly overhead there's a glare like a winged light
You think the ancestors just watch our sky kids thrive and the trials and have like… a crisis… every time
Their is also some theories that we the character are the prince, reborn to try and save the kingdom. Hense why our friend constellation is a crown
the king watches us succeed and says “ah, yes. A worthy opponent”
The “final battle” is really just a speedrun of all four trials.
It is thought to share a similar stylistic design as the Prince/King mask with the points at top and sides. It may be a related homage. There’s a word for a similar atmospheric phenomenon in real life: sundog
I want this to be canon so badly. 50% because of angst reasons, 50% because it leads to so many unintentionally hilarious scenarios
All four at once. the floor is water but all the islands shoot you across to the next one to unlock stone doors that also hold back fire worms
Here’s the concept art of the prince
Trials? Where do I do them?
Cave of Prophecies in Isle. Do you know where that is?
This idea has some support from the fact that the game and story was originally developed as a single player game and then reimagined as multiplayer.
No clue, my friend stumbled across it but I couldn't find it
Gonna beat up the fire prophet
…Is it okay if I DM you a link to meet in game so I can show you? It would actually be easier than trying to tell you.
I just need to get back my WL
so excited for the animation project to hopefully clear up some of the lore huhu
ever since the switch trailer came out I was like "something bigger is going on here" 
Here is a map of Isle that shows the location of the cave, if you want to see on a map. It has everything so it’s spoilers if you’re a new player.
how do people get such high-up views of the maps I love it so much 😭
Piggyback rocket + some editing. They missed the boogie kid island, which is understandable since it's almost at the same level as the temple
Speaking of that island
Since isle was once all grassy like prairie it’s interesting a part of it kept that. It makes me wonder about what happened there that didn’t manage to reach the temple and island up there
is theiname.... Y/N?
Please— make it a real fanfic—
Ok so do you think the prince as the first sky kid had to figure out what was edible for sky kids?
Like he was the sky kid that tried to bite crabs or anything else he can fit into his mouth
If that one art of the Prince (presumably) was truly showing him vomiting, then yes. Might have been the King, but it’s possible they were just the same person. All that.
Here it is, by the way: #lore-discussion-spoilers message
I’m pretty sure sky kids are just able to eat whatever the ancestors can— but I’m still dying at that—
Prince, who sees ONE light orb: 
the great prince of the Sky kingdom
Maybe they’re just doing that one stance when you lay down—
"eating"
So our prince is like a giraffe drinking water
I've noticed.... everything above the clouds still has grass and life. Under the clouds, on the island, we have a desert essentially, and the minute we hit cloud level, boom grass and stuff. Not to mention the cinematic effort in the wastelands about how we get in by going under the clouds. Perhaps the clouds sustain life above them, but not below.
I'm not new, but thanks lol
We can see from switch trailer and the animation teaser that wasteland and isle used to be vibrant and lovely (so now I can't go to either place without crying)
true... I wonder what changed in the ecosystem then 😐
The apocalypse /hj
well yeah but when will we finally find out what the apocalypse wassss aaaaghhh

Probably whatever was in all the pipes we see
Devs: We want the lore to be vague
Us: Cruelty 
lol idk how much longer I can be a theorist for without dying of frustration
Sky lore will drive you mad or make you sad and we're witnessing the former today
Thing is, there's no lithography down there, so presumably whoever lived below the clouds lost touch with the spirits and polluted the land?
I swear I won't stop playing sky until they tell us what happened even if I'm 99 years old
It could even be the same desert that we see in Journey, but I feel like that's a stretch
ooOOOooo ...... yeah maybe.... we would have to do a little geography research for that one
devs have said that Sky is a spiritual successor to Journey (I think a recent announced even said so) and in some very early concept art, Sky very closely resembled Journey
Probably more archeology.
yeeeeee we must archeology 🙃....dig up the isle lol
As Journey celebrates its 10th anniversary and its spiritual successor Sky: Children of the Light...
from: https://thatgamecompany.com/studio-raises-160m-and-welcomes-pixar-co-founder-ed-catmull/
oooOOOOooo
Next prop: shovel.
Thing is, in Journey we see pretty much no water, but in sky, water is everywhere, even in the wasteland.
there's a theory that Journey takes place on another planet than Sky, pointing at the fact that while descending from Orbit and just before the end credits begin, there are two planets.
So it's aliens
Journey people are aliens to us and we're the aliens to Journey people.
the Little Prince was also an alien
So there are at least five sentient species in this universe of Sky. The protagonists of Journey, the Skids, whatever the Little Prince is (maybe human, maybe not) the Ancestors, even though they’re not around anymore, and whatever the heck the Elders are. Did I miss any?
I'd argue Megabird/the Light is sentient but that depends on however you look at gods
I just typed this whole thing and idk if it even sent I’m 
censor in this server is a pain. recommend saving whatever you were typing before sending it in case the censor decides you have a "not family-friendly" phrase
RIP
If you do type the whole thing out again, do copy the text before sending it.
It may have been deleted without warning
Going off of this (for the second time >:|)
In this case in particular, I’d like to think that the climates began to fluctuate/find and even ground. It’s pretty hot and cold in journey, from literal dry desert to endless blizzards.
Perhaps snow began to melt and create large bodies of water throughout the realms, thus also jumpstarting the greenery. This would then be ruined by whatever may be in the GW pipes as well as failing to tend to the lands and keep them in order (isle of dawn)
Hey so I know this is off topic but any explanation for this?
I think l they’re the same orbs you can find in Ark and stuff, you just can’t interact with them.
So they’re the earlier version of spells?
The culture in Sky seems to be descended from a seafaring society, as evidenced by the prevalence of boats
Vela would specialise in this.
It was from season of the Light Seekers.
If I recall correctly, there were 3 spirits that brought orbs to the boat.
Mmm, yeah I wasn’t there for lightseekers 
Same, though thank goodness there are some videos and older players here to give answers.
iirc the spirit memories that start at the front of the cave show ancestors placing those orbs on the boat
Also why so much slowmode
Because that is what thatskybot decreed.
[Apparently to let folks keep up if and when the server becomes more active/ prevent spamming.]
Ye ye
Such large amounts of snow melting would cause water/sea levels to rise greatly, thus the massive usage of boats.
Things settle down, trees absorb water (hidden forest), snow freezes again (valley of triumph) and now bam. Former dunes are now islands, etc etc
And to ensure this place doesn’t turn into Gen chat.
Gen chat has a 31 second delay
Can we also just talk about the reef for a second. It’s like Atlantis but darker
The Reef is a beautiful place. The only thing I want in it is more “deep dive” places than that one canyon that leads to the Leviathan pit. Would be cool.
Agreed. Atlantis would be an epic source of inspiration.
I do hope the art book mentions this, or at least what the devs look up for the seasons.
It is a shame the coral turtle did not make it 😢
Or a Reefback Turtle.
Where are y’all finding this stuff- I haven’t gotten around to finding the concept art
in the pins there's a lot of links to concept development stuff as well as Light Awaits, an early beta version of the game before Live release.
when talking about concept art, we mostly refer to Tom Zhao's work: https://www.tomzhao.com/sky1
What Alisdair said and there are some old Light Awaits youtube game play videos (See Tara's videos)
Best pic I got
looking at that blurred text makes my eyes tear up for more reasons than one.
The text looks deliberately blurry/too small. The devs teasing us
In Light Awaits, the realms were as follows:
Isle of Dawn - Dawn
Daylight Prairie - Day
Hidden Forest - Rain
Valley of Triumph - Sunset
Golden Wasteland - Dusk / Shores of Mana
Vault of Knowledge - Night / City
Eye of Eden - Storm
Orbit - Orbit
It's ok, we just need someone in LA to do us a little favor /j
Forest was noted in the old lore to be where the dark stone was found. So, it is theoretically possible that these realms had a major point in the plot.
Especially if rain could be something before a storm starts.
Well, they do. The realm [noun] is being described [adjective] whether as [adjective][noun] or as [noun] of [adjn], the latter when a noun describes another noun like an adjective. There’s a specific term for it, I don’t remember.
The spirits also have [adj][noun] monikers
I seem to remember those being in one of the pins on a live expo too
Hoping this doesn't ping, but specifically this link
https://imgur.com/a/iGkSRIX
@grand crane
I meant ping Mirian 😂
My understanding is that it's similar text to the Chinese in the expo, which has been translated by Jen
do we have anything to unpack with the animation project teaser?
So much
Sky Seal
Living Ancestor concept art
Skykid
Flying creature (possibly related to the new tiny creatures nicknames as a seal)
Tents
Structures
Shall I go on?
And we’re only going to get more as more teasers are released for it.
Sky pubby 
When Skykids starts to beg TGC to get a pubby XD
Shores of Mana… was the boneyard previously a harbor as well? Maybe shipwreck and boneyard area both previously had a higher water level.
I dont know what was boneyard called in the past.
The Forest used to be referred as a lumberyard, or a quarry. while The Wasteland was a similar case, but a ruined front of the city. At least, that is what I gathered based on the old lore concept art.
Shipwreck in Wasteland was a fan name, interestingly enough, based on the boat in the area. The actual name was later on revealed (I don't recall where) to be Crab field, because of the crabby bois.
The wasteland does seem more aquatic and boat based
Kinda makes me think of it as Venice, except the place is hella polluted and the water somehow drained away. 
Well, some theorized that this used to be wasteland, full of rivers and stuff:
Venice is hella polluted too, tbf 
Yeah, I strongly agree wasteland was a naval power; both seasonal areas are accessible through a boat, and its old "Shores of Manna" name... yeah 
not to the point where the water is dark sludge though that is what I was told (I dont want to be rude if I never have been to Venice before).
That and the snippets of concept art we recently got have buildings that look a lot like GW ones, there's what looks like a bazaar so maybe it was also a mercantile power !
Really enjoying the view of Eden we got there too.
Earlier to day, I wondered if the boats might be inspired/influenced by Scandinavian boats (Vikings) and interestingly there is this one tid-bit.
Based on what I read, Viking boats have usually 2 main types. For mercantile and war, though there is overlapping when it comes battle.
The war boats would be smaller and narrow for speed. And they would rely either on sails to move across the water, or rowing oars.
Boats were vital as they means that Vikings could fish from the deep ocean, bring lifestock to other lands, carry cargo and move groups of people around across the waters.
You think that the ancestors consider water to be holy because they used to have boats like us, and even the arrival of the sky boat with the discovery of darkstone didnt change that ?
I mean, it’s been centuries since the disaster. The Sky world is so irreversibly damaged that the environment itself changes- almost like a nuclear war
well... Theoretically and based on the old lore, yes.
As for the current lore, I am not certain.
If the vases carried water and were left in the temples, the yes.
If anything, the Wasteland temple seemed to be once the best candidate for the water theme, so for Wasteland, it might have been important enough to have water come in. I dont think the dark water in there is an accident, or a sign of ruin, but instead a remnant of the place once had water as the lower level for travellers to safely dock inside and enter the Vaul.
What is this art made for? Any specific realm/temple?
Hey pointing spirit is the model for the catapult statue. 14 min
Looks like Isle Elder.
This was an early concept by Jose Luis Vaello Bertol, and this one was for the Elder of Dawn based on the design.
What I would like to point out is how the water in the scene (while not easily visible, it is noted) implies holy ground.
Still water represent holiness as it call back to the biblical creation of God moving over water, how water is pure, and Jesus walking on water.
While the current game does not use this scene. I believe the reference still lingers in the current game as the ground in Orbit is water.
oh, the spirits may have had different models back then.
I think the catapult statue's model in Graveyard (Wasteland) though was based on the fainting soldier's older model.
Yeah, a lot of stuff in terms of design was vastly different. Just look at the capes as we discussed recently. They were removed cause the game got a lot slower with stuff this intricate.
There’s also the Aviary. I wonder what will happen if all these LA features came in a PC release of Sky
The design of the cape would be blank when you start the game for the first time. As you complete playthroughs, upon being reborn, the cape would become more detailed until it is fully detailed.
This was a nice call back to the Journey capes.
Then assume all mobile players to attack the tgc headquarters XD
It feels like a lot of the realms were made smaller, or more compact.
Either to make it faster to reach areas, save space to include future season content, or improve performance for Android users.
That’s a good point. But even if it was to improve performance, I would love to see Realms that take like, a full half hour to traverse even without candle running. A much more “open world” feeling to them. 
Perhaps because it was a mobile game ( and still is) making them smaller and more compact would be a priority as then it would be easier to play on trains,buses, on a small device with only so much memory,etc,... ( i dont know im not one of those people that play games on my phone)
yeah, looking at the old play throughs, the world felt more spacious and the skykids felt so small and fragile.
A lot of players were upset about losing Aviary and getting Home.
I am sad to learn about Dawn used to me much more, interesting, detailed, exciting even!
And now all the we got is a blank realm with no daily quests. Sure, newborn moths and bitter vets can have some peace and quiet there, but the realm feels left out in more ways than what feels like the realm deserved.
The idea of that makes me quake
I honestly don’t mind how small Home is compared to Aviary. Would it be nice to have a larger place to hang our capes and lounge around? Of course. But at the same time, I don’t think I want a home that’s just, this big open area. It might feel too…spacious. (And yes, I am aware that this contradicts that I said above.) I feel like the current size of home is just fine for it’s intended purpose, but maybe that’s just me.
Aviary had more potential for mapping and makes a lot more sense then what I do for current maps-
Flight season area at least brought back some of the aviary vibes.
With spacious areas, I can't help but think of the open air above the village in Day.
Would it kill the mantas if they flew a tad bit higher up?
That and wouldn't it be much if there were a boat or two going about in the air above them?
Places like Sanctuary islands had nice open spaces to zoom around in. But players will have to land at some point, so the problem naturally lies in finding a balance between exploration, flying and content (what is there to explore).
I was looking through the light awaits initial beta isle, and i discovered it looked quite similar to the concept art for season of flight. ( im not sure if this helps anything but i noticed it and thought i might post it ^^)
Anybody seen the new animation trailer? I’m busy with school
so like, what’s the lore bits on that?
HARD maybe. Water seems more aligned with darkness instead of light; idk if they’d be more worshiping it, afraid of it, or averse to it in some way
A feast for lore skykids XD
WE NEED ONE OF THOSE ^^
Well then I’m hungry let me know lol
Water also goes with life,birth and refreshment ^^
Also I did the final cutscene in abyss and I just wanna say oho
So.. I’m going to assume the manta at the end covered by darkness was the one that gave us the dive ability
But also, does that mean all darkness plants are grown from absorbing light? There’s even plants around the bones in forest boneyard
Also, when we are in the pity room, does that mean our character died as well? But we still have our soul candle
It essentially confirmed the idea that these realms used to look completely different. I’m suspecting that it could focus on Resh/King/Alef/Prince/Eden Elder
The series focuses on the Skid that will eventually become Resh. Final shot of the series is the Prince becoming King and putting on his Star shaped Crown/Mask.
Cut to black and credits roll. Would be wild.
If it doesn’t end with a sword fight between the Prophecy Guide and Resh I’m suing TGC
YALL
Eden castle oob
Look at that detail, my friend and i r gonna try to get as close as we can. Gotta get all that evidence for the lore
why are the sky kids so small or the spirits so big
The Sky kids are just small because they’re, you know, kids. The Spirits are…I’m assuming the size of a normal human, and share the same traits in terms of height. They had different sizes. Some were super tall, some were much smaller.
but like even some of the spirits that are apparently younger are still taller. like the sightseers kid looks like a toddler and im shorter then them most of the time
Sky kids do have sizes we know. their size in relation to the objects in the office are canon. I think a medium sky kid is 3'2
I love the market concept art sketches, I assume that they are the markets in isle that we see in the switch trailer, also, I think we get a glimpse of gw before corruption as well since the building teased looks similar to the fortress in battlefield
Also, worth noting the crabs with red eyes? Same idea as krill or something new happening?
i feel like it’s the same thing with krills
I was thinking that the recent video ( the one that lorechats ultimate banquet ) showed the markets with the cloth that looks quite similar to enchantments cosmetic colours, perhaps this shows that the enchantment group were traders/merchants?
How are you all purple??
