Oh hi I didn't see you there hi
hi yes please hi
i dont know if i can put my headcanon scarecrow zodiac in your honda civic though. is that ok
Please, I love the TS hints. Tiny fun facts are my favorite kind of lore and world building, even if they're just head canons, they make me happy
PLEASE GIVE US THE SCARECROW HINTS I NEED TO KNOW THEIR FURRSONA
ash can i draw flight guide with homestuck horns
Fun facts are funky things that are fun
Would a Toyota be okay, then?
good god
spare scare himtz.. 
I think scarecrow would have a weasel or ferret fursona, They just have that energy
Vela, in honor of my dark past sure but i'll judge you depending on whatever horns you choose
If it's actually a bird I will die laughing
sentences that wouldn't make sense in any other fandom
I always thought of them as more of a Crow.
We'll put the seats down dw
perfect! it may need some assembly, be sure to call our experienced workers if you need help putting it together. thanks for purchasing 1 TS Tuesday hint from skykea
without further ado:
-Leo Sun Scorpio moon
fortunately they ran out of grey paint at the store
omg
-slides 3 hearts toward u- Can I purchase one more?
I love that they just turned into an axolotl
I’m putting you in jail
I’ll give you every one of my Ascended candles for more hints.
i love zodiac hints
< doesnt know a thing abt zodiacs
me who knows nil about astrology: 
That makes sense
The TS hints are fun. I know we gotta take 'em with a grain of salt, but tiny fun facts really are my favorite world building
THEYRE SO GOOD i love them
Same. I honestly show up to ask about them not because I care about guessing the spirit but bc they make me so happy
yknow
ts zodiacs means we can make trollsonas for em
they give the spirits some more personality and it's charming
Hey Ash! I know you have spirit backstories, so...
Can you tell us one without telling us which spirit it belongs to?
Imagine TS Hints written in the same format as daily zodiacs for newspapers.
you. I actually made sure to plan ahead because I figured you would ask 
I put a red panda
AW
OH MU GOD RED PANDA TYSM
AWWWW
:O
Red Pandas are so cute. 
SCARE RED PANDA BLESS
YEAH THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING, HANDS UP
SCARE MY BELOVED SCRUNKLY
I love them so mcuhj
Delicious, I'm adding it to my analysis thread 
..... although I don't suppose you have any zodiac headcanons for a certain guide?? Maybe?? I think the pennies and Reese's pieces aren't too stale but I'm trying my luck
The skrinkuly
Ash you are scary genius when you come up with TS hints.
Also, thanks for coming in here and doing this, we know you're busy
bea the reeses pieces are like weeks old i think </3
red pandas are too cute for this world
so was scarecrow 💔 RIP
Sshhhhhh shshhshh shhshh
I actually managed to be around before scarecrow left and people were blowing them kisses and crying
Behold the fearsome scarecrow. 
they'll come back in like a year or so
I meant in terms of being alive
im sure that if we can hug enchant qg, scarecrow is huggable !
slaps the top of sky this game can fit so many dead people in it
Do you think we could ever get like TS hints for the guides. I would cry
being alive is overrated anyways. if you're a spirit, you don't gotta fear death anymore
you don't need to be dead to not fear death tho
I WOULD GO FULL ON FERAL FOR CRUMBS OF INFO ON THE GUIDES
yeah, the didn't start the fun facts until flight or something right? I want guide fun facts for the other seasons 
Well, I would be afraid of arriving at home and seeing a horde of children running at me, candles in the air.
going feral if there's crumbs on lightseekers, eating that like a famished pigeon
Its definitely not my best work, but that just makes it better.
Alas, the pieces of Reese wait another day
SAME I WANT LIGHRSEKEER LORE SO BAD AND PROPEHCY LORE AND ENCH LROE AND
we are gonna feast in less than a week & have a full 3-course meal later this year
EXCITED

okay imagine Days of Bloom ends and the next TS is a lightseeker who was just "I missed you guys"
Same, mine is called breakfast lunch and dinner.
PLEASE
I WOULD CRY
Super excited for Performance (assuming we were right about the director board being a hidden release date)
And the season collab at the end of the year! Lots to look forward to. 
Imagine TGC had half of them come as traveling spirits and they stayed for about 3 times the length of a normal visit.
TS who refuses to leave until we got a bunch of spirits chilling in Homespace like "this is my home now"
Wait.......
.......
.......
.......
.......
What?
Personally I think days of bloom should be year round. I would like to enter Forest social space and chill with the spirits at any time
You didn’t know? There’s gonna be another collab announced at the end of the year like there was with Little Prince.
we have a confirmed date!
actually wait no thatd b kinda cool like. For basegame spirits u see them show up in homespace or something just chilling i wanna see candlemaker vibing
Unfortunately spring is only 3 months.
I want the animation so bad. Did we get even a small hint of when that was coming? I can't remember
I hope we get tie in cosmetics (that aren't a pain to get. If I have to own a certain phone brand I cry)
Already less than a week! I’m so excited.
Wasn’t the collaboration going to be between players and not Sky and another piece of media?? That’s what I got from it anyways, nah have misinterpreted
the thing they did with days of bloom but it's the basegame spirits hanging out in the social spaces
some valley spirits somehow climb up the walls
PLEASE please even just like photoshoot spots or something... please please
still waiting for the hug emote to be added to all spirits trees
[whispere quietly] imagine the ench spirits chilling near the colored light quests…
YAYYYYYY!!!!
WAIT-
will I get emotionally attached again......
honestly crab call being so buggy makes them even more endearing so
I just really like this quote, it's so Sky
they learn together how to create something greater than one person could achieve on their own
The specific words were “a special collaboration for players.” I assumed that just meant we would be getting another season like that. I guess we’ll find out eventually.
love how crab call is willing to fight children like dang they’re rlly out here squaring up w a glowing toddler
Yeah, I want more spirits hanging around and relaxing. What I really want is to interact with the elders, but considering them being stuck is vague, that's a pipe dream.
Valley Elders watching Performance spirits' play when? Forest Mama visiting Granny? Like god please
AYIN
The wording here really sounds like it’s between us, but you have introduced doubl into my mind
AYIN AYIN AYIN AYINAYUSHFHSB THE BLORBO
We used to be able to watch cutscenes together without doing weird timing glitches. We got robbed
Crab Whisperer lived in the Wasteland, they take no bull
Polar opposite of laidback pioneer, who saw the glowing toddler and asked it for headpats
Crab Whisperer was super buff under all those clothes.
pioneer: all chill
crab: no chill
girl help got so excited seeing ayin i was flapping my hands n stimming n ended up hitting it against my desk is this hell 
ikr the art of them is so 
I really wish head pat worked in reverse. We're the baby, Laidback Pioneer, you give us the head pats. Also, if I'm using head pat, it's because I wanna do it to my friend so it sees no use from me
Crab Whisperer is even more powerful than the Elders. Top tier reality bender. 
relataboe. I started vibrating at Mach speed
The Ayin effect
i like ayin a normal amount

Rate of hand injury skyrockets in prairie due to mach speed flapping
it's getting late so goodnight lore chat, still reeling from what unfolded here 
Oh dang. Guess Skybot is a heavy Ayin supporter.
You know what would be the best thing ever? Forest Elder appearing in the clearing on the final day of bloom. It'd be chaos, I need it
every day in lorechat is an experience
What if everyday, 3 random base game spirits appear in home space, and leave and get replaced by new base game spirits at reset.
"you could leave this whole time?!?"
Forest Elder: flowers compel me
Just make off season quest giver there permanently with an option for hugs and stuff and players will never complain again
It'd just be nice to see them relax for once. They're so sad in their cutscene
Forest Mama just didn’t want to have to deal with all these children.
Honestly, the idea that Forest elder could leave the entire time but simply chose not to feels on brand for their character. Especially if they were routinely supplied with crafting materials, they’d never leave
"Careful around the wisteria, its poiso-"
Forest elder:puts whole wisteria flower in their tea, stirs it with a wisteria twig, then proceeds to lift the tea up to their mouth
It's either they chose not to for whatever reason, or our kids simply weren't around when they were outside it (which would probs be for gameplay reasons)
There is also the possibility they were trapped at one point, but now can leave, for whatever reason
At the end of Bloom, Forest Elder just uproots the entire tree and carries it away to use as busking material.

YESSSSSSS
if it was a question between staying in my room routinely supplied with the materialI need for my hobbies or going outside and dealing with a few hundred obsessed children, I'd stay in my room too
This is a good one. This is one for the books.
Shhh, we just want head pats and to sit on her lap, nothing big
Ok, be honest,
Who's sky kids have already chomped and monched on the wisteria tree.
I need to know the elder most likely to hug our skids tbh
Mine is smarter than that
Isle, without hesitation
mine 😔 Fable is not very smart + tree crunchy
Mine wouldn’t have taken a bite out of it, but they would have decorated the entire thing with spiderwebs.
Isle has stern grandpa vibes at times. I'm thinking Prairie or Vault
I wonder if they’d look any different outside of their pocket dimension… especially if we gave them light. Their color palette and patterns reminds me a lot of when we’ve lost our flame; I still have that headcanon that if they have enough light, they could project beautiful clothes and patterns
TAKE YOUR SKID TO THE ER WISTERIA IS POISONOUS!!!!!
I think the lightseekers would prevent any and all tree biting
You’re right and you should say it.
ISLE EXACTLY YES THANK YOU tgc let me hug dawn... please...
Mine, and I have photos
That’s the only reason the teaset has the light orbs we can eat. To prevent us from munching on the tree.
For this seasonal event, our kids are getting adult supervision
one of my ocs has the tiger mask and has cat like mannerisms at times of course xey will be eating things xey shouldnt <3
it's fine they're fine
Today I learned that I am one of slinks ocs
Nya~ 
Crab Whisperer is hitting the skids who just gives tree moncher vibes to get it out of their system
Alright, someone will have to sign up to distract those adults so we can continue to have the run of the place.
OMG ALASDAIR. imagine amander entering Forest to cr and Forest elder is chilling in the social space
If I had a nickel for every time I heard of a sky kid eating wisteria and thus begining to die, I'd have two nickels
Which isn't much but its scary that it happened twice.
Spiderman meme here we go
chaos would ensue
my tree biter
Amander would scream and turn around then turn back around and scream again
They are adorable.
Naihho has to drag their butt past the forest elder don't they
Omg Scarecrow has a red panda fursona?!!???!???
FABLE !!
Have they picked out a grave stone from the wide variety of 1 grave stone type?
Amander hisses when they pass
I'm sure Forest Elder returns the sentiment lol
the concept of a skykid having beef with an elder is so unreasonably funny to me
it's fine they r very powerful
And it would be for the most ridiculous reasons as well. 
Amander's beef is because Forest Mama snatched their candle and they called her out for being rude
it cos Forest Elder yanked moth Amander's light as with every other skid but Amander called them a meanie. then at Vault, they cussed them out. Forest Elder refused to bow.
Ok....
But just know that touching the wisteria isn't always a great idea either. Just look it up.
the entire situation is hilarios and it kills me verytime I think abt it
And they just became nemesis’s after that?
Hey, who wants some wisteria petal tea?
Yes, please.
get Amander angry enough and they'll just go on a tangent about how much the Forest Elder sucks.
surprisingly their favorite realm is the Forest so the two see each other often
mmm, tea!!
Ok.
Fun fact, the petal of a wisteria is the only part that isn't poisonous.
That’s not a very fun fact. 
mucnhy crunchy
So, you still want that tea? Or can I have seconds.
Most definitely.
Amander would bite the wisteria tree if they found out Forest Elder likes it. Gets tackled by a couple lightseekers
Crab want to say hi!
|| and sit on your head ||
and then Forest Elder gets to laugh at them as they have regrets
If they got into a prank war, which one would escalate it first?
Amander — they are a child
@frigid tinsel
And paste
"Careful around the wisteria, its poiso-"
Forest elder:puts whole wisteria flower in their tea, stirs it with a wisteria twig, then proceeds to lift the tea up to their mouth
Wisteria is posionous to humans, not demigods
Amander gets excited when they think Forest Elder is gonna get sick, then she doesn't. She's smug about it, they hate it.
Amander: how come they get to touch the tree?
But how is a puny insignificant millenial that cant afford a plushie, human going to know that./j
Sorry if that went too far.
Yes, but this is spirit Wisteria. Who knows what it can do.
I'm sure Forest Elder probably knows tbh, if she's the elder
Amander upon seeing the Forest Elder temple door is closed: ughhhhhhhhhh
I'm hungry but all I'm eating is popcorn. And while I'm getting the relief of muching, I'm not getting the relief of a full stomach.
Learn to use the wind paths bro
Add more butter.
Forest elder gets someone to paint a sign outside their temple door that reads AMANDER IS NOT ALLOWED BEYOND THIS POINT
Why did I think of that.
Amander:
Amander next time they meet: “Aww. You do think about me.”
Self insert.....
Pending.......
Self insert failed.
/j
Forest Elder only lets Amander in their pocket dimension to T-pose to assert dominance
Amander's anger issues is 50% the Forest Elder's fault
||Light scholar got his cape stuck in the wisteria tree||
I still love how Forest elder has beef with an actual child it kills me
I’d be more surprised if Forest Mama didn’t have a beef with at least a few of the Skids. She’s just like that.
Forest elder visits my sky kid sometimes to pick up a wisteria sapling since every other sky kid that has tried to grow one has failed in some way, shape, and/or form.
she has beef with everyone
I think she's above that until she ticks off a kid enough to where the kid starts the beef. It escalates when she brushes them off lol
Beef
Skid:Threatens to take back that light they gave them
Forest Elder: throws sky kid into wasteland
Forest Elder tries to brush it off but Amander's disrespect really does get under their skin cos they're not used to a skykid being so rude to them, especially one who frequents their realm so much. they don't blow up, obviously, just by snide comments and sneers
I love how this implies that she’s strong enough to throw a Skid all the way to Wasteland from the Forest, clearing the Valley entirely.
Its 11:55 pm right now for everyone, if its not for you then you're just wrong./j
Anyways I'm heading out now
BYEEEEEEE!!!!
Byeeee
i am not really an artist but attempt. also it took like 15 minutes for me to find my phone rip
We love it when a child Has a rivalry with a demigod
Like this?
Lemme put on my glasses hold on
I M P O S T E R 2 D
where is that from
oh no 😟
wse this thing here all long? I don't ever remember seeing it- or im just not going to the prairie enough
It was added in an update. No one knows what it's for.
It was added for "guide feature" but it was never implemented
About the Statue in the middle of Prairie Village
by Nami
#questions-and-help message
thank you
Wooah, a poncho ! 
i just had a terrible thought
what if the player is the shadow, and the Sky Kid is a separate entity - as in the Shadow carries all of the cosmetic data and the skill of the game, and the Sky Kid/Light gives that form?
do we leave the Sky Kid (who is conscious btw - evidenced by them falling asleep when they do not have commands from the Shadow) behind in PNR?
I dont think were
Idk Back then, but when I started paying Sky capes on them had a spirit effect that give away another color but recently they were patched to look closer to their true color instead of their spiritified ones (sad... I submitted a request in #wishlist-and-ideas-archived to get a spiritify spell/effect to allow us to get 2 colors with one cape
)
For example Butterfly Caretaker a bright yellow (meanwhile we get a yellow-orange hue) , Sanctuary Quest Giver cape looked a bit shifted to teal instead of clean white we have now, or the Grateful Shell Collector seems to have a red cape (instead of the strong salmon pink cape). Yellow and Salmon cape were a big let down for me (it seemed a falsely advertized product
) so I guess devs eventually fixed those hues (but I sort of wish to get a spiritify effect 🥲 )
I remember that when the paperboat were implemented that if you go near on in night HomeSpace with teal cape you could see teal shifting a bit into green or bluer tones (the power lighting) and it might still work this effect
There is one (IAP for Days Of Earth) but it was added later, I think
I think that bow was used a helmet 
h e l p m e
altho i dont think that TGC would Kris-Soul DELTARUNE on us
Valley used Ice Rink was different, originally the Cannon we see in Office was there (and maybe even in GW when it was still called Shores Of Mana) those 2 golden statue and the cannon golden decoratiojpn clearly are in tune with Valley architecture style
Yeah, Tsasi Dusk Elder tombstone was in front of the temple (a must watch cutscene 😉 ) and those bjrd statues lead to Aviary (a different area we dont have anymore)
I miss the old sky 
Were You there in Sky LA? 
Skykids and their players is complicated to discuss, not only for the amount of meta knowledge involved but also the possibilities to consider.
Such as a knowledgeable player would typically present a skilled skykid, while a player with less experience playing the game (ex. a young player) would present skykid that is clumsy and tend to easily become confused on what to do.
The skykid themselves though are consistent. As in no matter what kind of player would be to any given skykid, all skykids are able fly, give light, run, emote, use magic and communicate to ancestors/elders. That and learn new abilities as they go (ex. emotes, skills/abelites from seasons such as diving and wing buffs).
I would like to think a skykid is a lot like an Avatar from James Cameron's film. Although, unlike the avatars and the Navi, there are only avatar skykids and no true skykids (as in no human to control the bodies).
Partly because of the similarities the two fictional worlds have (bounding with creatures, floating mountains and trees that have voices), and partly because of how skykids fall asleep when left alone by their player similar to the film would have the avatar fall unconscious when their driver is not connected.
You mean kind of like Super Mario in Yoshi's Island (or whatever is that SM version) when you use Yoshi to overcome a pit (Yoshi double jump, then you ditch him and jump ahead to safety and let him fall into nothingness) ? 
Most have, while others would follow along with what has been discussed.
While the concept art does show a timeline of events. That plot would more likely be considered as 'old lore' (Light Awaits lore), as teh current game (children of the Light) does not follow the same plot.
if the sky kid is separate from the player, does it follow the player once it dies in PNR, or do we get a new Light/Sky Kid?
It follows the player
what is the player?
No I started in
but then I lost my account and got a new one the new one
you, me, anyone that plays Sky.
what is the player in terms of the Sky world? what are we inside a Sky Kid?

Got any stuff about the Sky LA?
but ye I’m not a beta member
Folks would interpret the player to be the skykid, a user expressing themselves through the skykid, or even the will of the skykid coming from the player.
Lorewise, it is an open debate that could be deep. But on the surface, all cases does involve the skykid.
i kinda dont want sky to be like deltarune but at the same time i kinda do
Nothing more than some screenshots take from YT videos. Our best reliable source of clues 
At least Oreo is a good boi and not a troll like the annoying dog. 
IM SO SAD
JUST TO CLARIFY
Old Beta was a thing (back when the game name was Sky Light Awaits) and we can share those thimgs here freely
Current Beta is in development and we can share things just in the appropriate channels, cause things can change before release, so it's forbidden to upload it here no matter the spoilers
Old Sky was so beautiful , antique and ancient but the new Sky is a little bit more modernised
agreed and that is a good clarification.
Light Awaits can be called beta from time to time, though understandably confused for the beta of future content.
Spoilers that have not came to live yet are forbidden.
The same goes to any content that was acquired through hacking in the game.
Any beta content that would be scrapped from the game and is past the time of when it would have been release is fine (ex. the better Abyss ship, reefback turtle, etc.)
Niice😁
I like to imagine that the old sky is closer to the timeline when the whole civilization existed, whilst the sky we have now is a bit later, with buildings less detailed and more worn out
Idk how much this personal headcanon of mine holds water tho
I noticed that too behind Lamed too (the 4th one), but thanks for all the comparisons
It can hold tears at the very least.
Sky: Onions of Lore
I couldn’t read the thousands of lore messages- o7 to the lore I’ve missed
What kind of lore would you like to know about?
Oh I don’t have specifics. I kinda like just lurking here and then appearing every-now-and again.
What y’all come up with/put together is great
Omw I do this too... That's why I love watching light awaits clips bc it feels like I'm watching an ancient document 👀
same, i think most people would lose their sanity or give up if they tried
I would clear out maybe 200-300 messages (out of 900), take a break, and there’s 500 more 
it never ends
Just pick it up as lorechat goes along
You’ll piece it together eventually. I haven’t really but I just give ‘hey wouldn’t this be cool’ ideas
now how is sky like deltarune-
Skykids are filled with Determination, like Frisk, and can be as chaotic as Chara.
That and puns galore.
that is undertale-
alright, would Lightseekers suffice then?
what's deltarune
Deltarune is the a game by Toby Fox, that came after Undertale.
See for yourself 🙂
ohhh ok, thx
undertale alternate continuity
You know that episode "Growing Pains" from Steven Universe where Steven lists down the traumatic events that happened during his life?
What are the (more) canon traumatic events that have happened to a skykid who has seen every season? Hmmm...
-Losing light to the Forest rain/seeing someone else lose light to Forest rain
-Getting krilled for the first time/seeing the manta get krilled
-Going to Eden with friends and realizing that they stopped talking because they dead
Okay that's basegame, now for seasonal... the only one I can think of is
-Getting eaten by a big fish and almost dying along with the spirit you were supposed to save
Is there anything I missed?
Meeting a sweet boy in the desert, travel with him through the realms, listen to him talk about going home and then talking to a Krill, then go to Eden and turn into a statue before passing on in Orbit.
Getting eaten by a giant whale creature.
what now
Were you not here during Abyss..
how does that relate to deltarune
Hmm I thought we were listing traumatic events that happened to skykids.
you replied to the wrong message lol
also I already listed it even before raider reminded me that TLP happened in some form
It acts as one long message
A yes season of tlp was ultimate emotional trauma...
It was different I guess.
I miss him so bad... He felt like a real player 😭
Eh
I missed Prince so much that I turned him into a neckbeard
..
Don’t worry about it Jet
pretty sure mafia leaders are fitter than neckbeards, y'know what I'm sayin'?
I’m glad I joined after the little Prince then, I don’t like Eden
I thought of something as I was playing the game:
For a lot of Valley, we don't see the
symbol when we honk.
Is it because we are in a realm whose residents kind of lost their way as a civilization?

Like they lost their reverence for the Light because they have power diamonds now?
Maybe! It’s a good theory and idea
I need explanations for everything
oof, do you want a text wall as long as the great wall of china?
Dm me
Based on the height of skids compared to adults how old would they be?
I think they’re forever kids, they don’t really have an age and don’t show one psychically but mentally
Edit: I’m dumb I misread the question
two kinds of people in lore chat
He’s essentially both
Height wise, skykids are the same height as 2-7yo humans (excluding chibis). Of course height ≠ age but a thought
Probably ranging between 4 or so for chibis. And about 12 for the tallest possible height (without spells)
Imagining a spikier version of the shadow.
I think the Office setup is a good size baseline 
Like chibis are small enough to get under the table, so less than four feet, maybe?
And the taller ones…
Well, they don't reach the knobs on the doors from what I recall 
Just a big shadow porcupine.
Unfortunately I couldn’t find a photo of the door to enter into section two of Eden but I remember it.
If I’m remembering correctly the isle door into the Elders area is similar to the door you take into the entrance of the main part of Eden (not storm lock)
Now I want to draw them.
Dew it.
Thank you for this because I have noticed and I'm wondering what it could mean 
Hi :]
but does that imply people of sky are just naturally a smaller size than humans or that mega bird sent down feral moth toddlers to chase every sparkly thing they see to save skymanity?
i can see it happening like that
We have an actual height chart somewhere using the office. Also, Chibis are the size of toddlers, while the average (or was it tallest) child size is equivilant to about a 5-7 (can't remember which) year old human
If they're human sized, they're very young, which would make sense, considering how they behave. Touching everything in sight and frolicking about as they do is generally young child behavior
Heyyy, I only gave a starting point 
They're two different worlds to begin with – from a Skykid's perspective, their world appears normal sized in game!
Also feral moth toddlers – thank you for that…image… 
some moths can be feral
They can, but I did not need – nor want – that image 
Me: 'Kids', they're probably 10-12, because sending them on a death mission is already cruel!
Game: -presents evidence that they're 5-
Me:
TGC watch your back
*cough* Motthew *cough*
We see it every day when chibis are in sneak stance
Am I WRONG about feral moth toddlers?!
They run around crazy, scream at crabs, run to every glowing light they find.., and are toddler sized Aka travel sized
You're not lol
Do I really need to get into how dark my headspace is atm or can we just accept it and move on /lh
Imagine watching someone just YELL at a crab and all the ones in the general vicinity fall on their back in horror
It is done.
The krill did net seem in the mood for a woolly coat, but a long and silky wig was managable.

Found LegokidLogan's height post (Or a post linking to that post, discord my enemy)
what in Eden’s name did you just create—
[Krill does a sassy hair flip before attacking]
Okay but props on the drawing skills 
my attempt at a wooly krill 
bless
give it bangs-
'I need to speak to your elder' haircut
Legokidlogan's Skykid size chart!
I love this so much 
also on the topic of skykid age, it's muddy waters since the characters are meant to be childlike to represent vulnerability yet still your avatar in the game; lore-wise, they are children, but game-wise, there's nothing wrong with wanting your avatar to match your age (i'd personally get uncomfortable being depicted as a child) and the child symbolism being just that, symbolism to mean you're new in an old world
So the tallest sky kids (assuming it's natural and not resize potion) would be about 6-7, Chibis are like 2 maybe
You're not wrong Vela, but this is lore chat, where symbolism goes out the window in favor of over reading everything /lh
I'm a new soul, I came to this strange world… 
hopin i could learn a bit bout how to give and take
But for real, some times it's irritating because Symbolism is also deep, but everything gets treated literally
Yayyy someone recognised it! 
i feel like symbolism's a pretty big deal in sky 
You'd think! But then people say the little prince spirits are actually in jail because of their chains instead of it being symbolic of them being trapped in their vices
If chibis are 2 I would like to now bring up:
You’re babysitting a 2 year old
Suddenly… they stop
You look where they’re looking…
They are staring at the stairs
???
The take a step forward…
Why is their leg going through the stairs?!
The child disappears into the staircase
That is chibi falling
there's an incredibly cute sky animation with this song
I know I've seen it it's my wholesome remedy for a bad day
YEAH YOU GET IT
Always been partial to the asylum theory for that reason.
how do you think chibi falling works in a hypothetical world where everything is real. a world where a certian stance and mask allow you to go through stone
The backrooms.
D: NO not the backrooms!
: D
(that;s a setting in discord you can turn off btw)
ITS A WHAT
It’s a setting. You can turn off the :D 😄 thing
Skids could be 1 year old but have the maturity of an 8 year old.
Age is kinda wonky in the Skyverse
for all we know they're as old as our account. My kid could be like a month or 2
Yea that’s how I’ve been running it in my ficverse. My OC Amander is 8 months old
Maybe they don't even percieve time the way we do; I know some people measure veteran-ness by the amount of seasons you lived through (such as 5 seasons = vet for some), so maybe sky kids do that too.
I like to think they're older than when they fell. Because, again, death mission. The younger they are the worse it is.
"why was I born?"
"to die repeatedly"
-I go to orbit and personally slay Mega bird for child abuse-
Considering that we go through realms themed after stages of life, it's possible a fresh moth "ages" as they complete the game, hence the message "the real journey starts here" you get after your first trip through orbit.
I’ve heard that and honestly it does make sense. Time-wise seasons are three months long. My one qualm is that they’re not always the same length of time and even used to be only a month long.
I’m a very numbers man tho
Yeah, the first 3 seasons are wonky, afaik Gratitude was late summer 2019 and quickly got followed by Lightseekers that spanned from there through the entirety of autumn, where belonging had to eat a bit of time through 2020.
It feels like the devs are trying to match seasons with irl ones since we are now getting about 4 per year.
Fun coincidence: flight happened in autumn, usually the season where migratory birds take flight to warmer climates. kinda fits the theme !
If you can get close enough to sheer it, be my guest.
I think I would call that magic because nothing in the Sky world can explain it 
I actually had a theory seasons are arranged to loosely be a thematic fit to the northern hemisphere seasons
find me having a showdown with long haired krill
This is great.
Awesome job.
At least there is something to grab and hold on to. 💇♂️
There. Abyss conveniently ended for the Days of Bloom, a mix between japanese cherry blossom days & the spring equinox celebrations.
2020 and 2021 follow the pattern of a new season starting in january, april, july and october. 2022 looks like it's on the same track with abyss in january and performance in april.
Belonging took place during holidays associated with familial togetherness like Thanksgiving n Christmas
It is possible to chibi fall with other stances, though. I think you just have to be at the right angle.
Yeah ! I will give that Gratitude is a bit of an oddball since it's the devs showing gratitude to beta testers, but Lightseekers also fits autumn with lenghtening darkness (night) and rainy days. Loosely.
TLP and Sanctuary ended around the autumn equinox while Lightseekers started around that time.
I only notice that cos autumn equinox is my bday
Rythm is definitely winter, the season was even called Winter in beta.
Enchantment - Spring, perhaps the rebirth of life in deserts (snowy or sandy) ?
Sanct is definitely summer, and Prophecy kinda fits autumn with creepy tales and monstruous/animal masks
So…what about Performance, then? It’s going through Spring and will probably end in Summer sometime. Not exactly fitting since it takes place in Valley.
Dreams and winter too! 
Enchantment and spring have in common the advent of new life, restoring what was lost 
Dreams too given both those seasons were centered around Valley iiirc and full of snow.
Performance would be the oddball given it’s happening in the Spring.
That's when people get breaks
And what happens when people get breaks?
They get artsy 
Besides it's not like snowy places don't experience seasons
Dreams is also definitely wintery, Assembly is in a rainy realm (spring is rainy) and it's also the rebirth of life through difficult times, LP is foggy but summer is great for stargazing, and the aforemented bird migration for flight in autumn
To performance Spirits. “You guys need to get out more.”
TLP season in summer reminds me of those friendships you forge with random kids during summer holidays when you're freed from school, only to never see them again in september since you're back in your old town...
Should have asked the Little Prince for his email account. Alwaysbeyourfriend@skymail.com.
Abyss is a bit more vague but both the depths and winter are cold I guess... though I think either fishing season or a change in sea currents happens in winter that sailors take note of, so 
Can't say much on performance since it's not live yet.
I'm going to take a guess that Performance will be about wanting a break or something in cold times and making warmth when there isn't any, which is why it takes place in Valley but happens in Spring and Summer.
actually... would it be possible to divide realms in seasons too ? Think about it, each reflects a phase of the day, would make sense to get more sun symbols there
also @queen forum summer is usually june 21 (summer solstice) so performance will probably end before or around that time, so i'd link it more to spring & the next season to summer !
Appreciate the analyses made by Vela. 
Looks like the seasons that line up with the northern hemisphere seasons have more in common.
Yee, good mind at work! Takes notes
The notes:
Vela is smart

If Skids came before everything went to honk and back, would skids have a kindergarten/daycare they would go to?
#sky-music message
We have a dev qoute to make this official.
we do got the whole rebirth cycle thing going on
how many out of context dev quotes would it take to make my headcanons canon
I imagine they would. Since they were pretty different from ancestors, they would need to be seperated from them at first so the ancestors don't get intially freaked out when this glowing, flying, and nearly industructible child comes up and starts spam honking. They would need to be properly taught about the world so they didn't cause too much chaos.
As many as it takes.
ancestors see newborn skykid and already go "oh my birds, a baby." I bet if they weren't spirits in the post-apocalypse, they'd put skykids in pre-K and hand out adoption forms
reminds me of when i completed the assembly quests and i told my friends i am filling for adoption as the cutscene is playing
The entire forest would be chopped down just to make as many adoption forms as possible. 
skykids were prob made to resemble ancestor children to some capacity so they'd appeal to the ancestors on looks alone
Skids set the entire Realm on fire, give the Ancestors one of these looks:
and instantly all is forgiven.
My ranking is 2021>2020>2019 
art usually improves overtime
And in not just cosmetics, either: the story and locations improve as they go along. Compare the Forgotten Ark’s 2 minute long process to enter and the Treasure Reef’s instantaneous transition
And now we can enter the Ark instantaneously as well.
We can? That’s a relief. But stil, they’ve optimized the seasons quite well
Season of flight my beloved, That’s when I joined and I have the entire talented builder outfit
#lore-discussion-spoilers message
Welp....
When Rainbow Angel asked about the iceberg meme, I asked if they wanted a text wall of explanations of most of the things on there, that I can explain to them.
They did, and I have done it.
The bigger question is, would anyone here like to see the text?
aight lore chat
swimming is no longer obtained and you just. get it after forest
…huh
so the friendship constellation update just went live 👀
That’s not even half of what Sky lore has to offer. But yes, I’d like to see it
oh, and that trick looks like the best way to showcase a big piece of text.
Otherwise I would have went over the limit 4 times over. 😅
is it okay if I reupload this as a google doc for accessibility? mobile formats have a difficult time reading .txt files
They do?
You can and I would appreciate it.
Otherwise I can do so as well.
is anyone uh
Yea this is what it looks like on mobile and it prompts you to open it in another app

Since this giant mural from pointing candlemaker is a bit too vague(at least for me) to really understand whats happening or what it says, I drew it, in sections of 3
Swimming, sure, but diving too?
Interestingly, the mural is reading from right to left in that example.
I wonder if the the other murals are like that too?
I am not talking about several murals, as Ark and prophecy murals tend to go from left to right (more or less) when combined.
Now I’m going to hyperfixate on investigating all the murals in the game to see if this holds up…..
Welp, why fight it……
now that the update dropped I can finally bring up the constellations, I don't know much about stars but I do have visible images and the corresponding real-life constellations
king - cassiopeia
umbrella - cygnus
mantas - ursa major
lyre - lyra
grave with candles - gemini
crab - cancer
(please excuse the friend names lmao)
each constellation also has two friend stars outside of the actual constellation bit, not shown here
@nimble ingot When you said “I don’t know” for the Teeth Krill, it’s likely referring to this concept art with the Dark creatures having teeth in the past. Just in case you want to add it.
oh.....
Yeah. They’re pretty horrifying.
meditate_night_night_2 was one of the placeholder for a meditation shrine in vault where they hadn't localised the text yet, or hadn't linked it properly so showed the placeholder ingame instead
Windwall bypass is the ability to use a table and then table spell with the sitting hug glitch to force a table (and yourself and friend at that table) past a windwall
PATTERN RECOGNIZITION IS SO IMPORTANT IN SKY. I am trying to figure out a few symbols I see everywhere myself.
I vanished for most of the day bc I was painting birds btw
Retail demo was a version of light awaits which was used in a lot of electronics shops even after cotl was released, I believe it went up to valley icerink before it cut to a cutscene and cycled back to isle, as it contains old capes it is considered very valuable
https://youtu.be/KHM7HMGy1xo
they made my zodiac an actual grave this is so mean. I feel like I’m being threatened?
Why did the twins zodiac become a grave... I guess sky has the valley elders constellation as their actual gemini
if enough astrology nerds throw a fuss, maybe they'll change it
I’m not actually mad I am just joking but, it is really funny to me
I did do a little bit of research and the umbrella constellation, cygnus, is a swan and associated with queen Leda of Sparta, famous for being the mother of the gemini twins! And actually the mother of another set of twins, Helen of Troy and Clytemnestra (wife of Agamemnon, did not have a fun life)
tjey killed the twins
Patch notes: Hint text at the resume level shrine no longer says "Leave Home and resume your journey to The Light" when returning to places such as the Secret Areas accessible from Golden Wasteland or Vault of Knowledge.
Discuss
does anyone here have access to those areas who could see what the text now says?
Me! Lemme boot up
Did they turn the crown one that had our favorite friends normally into the king const or is it still there and there’s 2 king constellations now
twin kings
Oh god there’s two of them they are taking over
the OG friend constellation has been poofed, there can be only one (king)
One of you is lying and one of you is telling the truth and I cannot tell which
trust me I am very cool
wait if the Gemini "twin" constellation is a grave and we have twin Elders, does that lend credence to the theory that the current Valley Elder(s) are the heirs to the original Valley Elder who's no longer around/dead?
No, the valley twins got murdered. They are died
no no I think you're right, that's how I saw it at least. That was my intention with the cygnus info but I may have failed to explain anything
I am very happy for constellations but tgc. can we have the other 4 that were in the beta build pretty please
Can we change the friend constellations we use? I do not desire umbrella
unfortunately you can't change the order of the constellations, but you can add more (up to 6)
but how
when editing the location of a friend, go to a friend page without a constellation and there should be a button for "new constellation"
There's a sea star at the bottom of the trench at Sanctuary
It's nothing too lore related, just something fun I found while exploring
(Do with this information as you like)
-turns on sky to check new statue text- -gets caught up in constellations and forgets- whoops
It looks like it movht be part of the boat. Since every boat has eyes, I reckon thats what it is. But why so different? Was this boat the king’s? It could very well be, as this boat, even before the update, was very unique in shape.
THERES NO CROWN YOU LIED TO ME. alsusdair
I Shiuldje have trusted uou all along…
makes sense, seing as all the elder murals were accurate aside from valley,s. (I think there mivht be other depictions like that, but I can’t think of where it might be.)
Shiuldje
Astronomy nerds will die on this update (can confirm, I am an astronomy nerd)
Shiuldje I, ciuldje I, wiuldge I
Well that didn't work right, screw it

downgrade ,
For me, it says “return to the light”
did u update your game yet?
It’s always said that for me
It’s always said resume your journey in the world of sky for me I mean
Interesting. So it seems it considers the Office and stuff still in the “world” but not part of the “light”.
I’m trying
This is what it says when returning to the Office
I just had a thought, and that thought requires me to see the ancestor murals. Once my game finishes updating I’ll go complete my objective.
Does this mean that the Prince isn’t a light creature, since he isn’t part of the light?
you can use Salem's mural masterlist for reference: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-yA8OdJ2NzwNc8c15sQB3UALYn3psT3c6mWgIV64jFM
i mean elder murals, not ancestor.
Might not be a light creature like we currently understand them.
So, I took a look at the valley mural, and came to the conclusion that it does not confirm nor deny anybody ever dying in the realm of sky, though I did find the king in the eden mural has a mouth.
The King is opening their mouth in preparation to eat a light seekers tea time snack.
TIER TWO WHITE CAPE!!!!!!
FUN FACT
castor and pollux came from two different eggs ! each of them was in the same egg as one of the sisters
WAIT I MISSED THAT BIT WHAT OMG
Sky really pushing twins lately
Greek mythology figures have a normal birth story challenge (FAILED everytime)
"nothing too lore related," they say.
King enthusiasts though.....

I say that because it's just a screenshot lol
usually Zeus's fault
Their mother was Leda, but they had different fathers; Castor was the mortal son of Tyndareus, the king of Sparta, while Pollux was the divine son of Zeus who made him with Leda in the guise of a swan. The pair are thus an example of heteropaternal superfecundation. Though accounts of their birth are varied, they are sometimes said to have been born from an egg, along with their twin sisters Helen of Troy and Clytemnestra.
The pair were regarded as the patrons of sailors, to whom they appeared as St. Elmo's fire. They were also associated with horsemanship, in keeping with their origin as the Indo-European horse twins.
really thinking about my twin/paralleling Elders theory
2 Rules to every Greek myth.
- Every major screw up begins with Zeus trying to cheat on his wife with some mortal that he just found.
- Hera hates everyone, which makes sense since she’s the aforementioned wife.
correction: Hera only hates Zeus's mistresses and the offspring of their flings
Which pretty much translates to “everyone”. 
65% of ancient Greece
What did I wake up to
The most commonly asked question in #Lorechat. 
I come back and we’re talking about just how much of Zeus ended up in the Ancient Greek gene pool
I always thought the portals were meant to look like pots or jars, but thinking upon that, they actually look more like candles.
wait, notice how all the elder faces pn the portals actually look like those elders? Except for valley, the face/faces look completely different compared to the current valley elders. This has more confirmation on there being late valley elders.
Not really, they’re always depicted with those triangular heads. Incl I believe on their elder statue
helen and pollux are twins !
if i had a dime for every surnaturally strong man coming out of an egg, i'd have three dimes, which isn't a lot, but it's wierd 
TRUTH behind the eggs in forest
ancestor eggs ???
i'd like to draw your attention to they were also associated with horsemanship, in keeping with their origin as the Indo-European horse twins because mantas are confirmed to have been ridden by ancestors & they are very present in valley, so...
manta-riding samekh ?
The valley twins could be seen commanding(?) mantas in the old LA cutscene if I remember correctly
The Etruscans venerated the twins as Kastur and Pultuce, collectively as the tinas cliniiaras, "Sons of Tinia", Etruscan counterpart of Zeus. They were often portrayed on Etruscan mirrors.

But how do we know those are the valley elders we know, or some unknown pair of deceased valley elders. And the way their hair is portrayed on the portal and on the big valley mural is odd, mainly because it would be wierd for them to get it so wrong.
Especially for the big mural.
And the funny thing is that the portal faces line up perfectly with the big mural Valley elders we see.
And then the depictions of them in these other murals, their masks fit perfectly with the portal faces.
Now, you could say that they just couldn't get the details perfect.
But how can you not properly draw a that mushroom hairstyle one of them have. We can also see the ancestors ace the other elder depictions, which sets the standards for the valley depictions.
And.....
Don't question where the sky barbers went......
Just know....
Everything.....
Will be fine......
I helped them go down with history...........
Is everything allright, Esther ?
wait the thing i read was that castor and pollux were in one egg and helen and clytemnestra were in the other, but each pair of twins were half siblings, as one was the child of Zeus and the other the son of the king of sparta
........
You'll never have to worry about a pair of scissors touching your sky kids hair.....
Ever.
Lets just say that.
I will be honest, the thing with greek myths is that there's a version per storyteller; some versions dont even mention eggs. You very well could have read a version and me another.
Ancient tales don't have a canon like modern ones lol
Heno lore chat 
YEAH i feel that, man so many versions… which twin if any is immortal changes so very much
Ugggghhhhhh,
I'm implying that I murdered all the hair stylist ancestors.
I never get to have any fun around here, Hmph./j
speaking of twins, i find it interesting that
embraces the asymmetry while
seems to try and hide it...
vela please elaborate that is so

Mekh is my chosen favourite twin
Aside from vault elder,
is the only asymmetrical elder.
But sah is cool too 
It's mostly the haircuts, but I vaguely recall that
has a mostly symmetric body, while
has one sleeve longer than the other.
That and the twin tower parallels with one that crumbles and the other who is missing its top... seen on the portal too.
So what you're saying is that
like to ski and
liked to fly.
Oh yeah 100%. There’s so many versions of each Greek myth [probably applies to other cultures as well, wouldn’t be surprised] that saying a detail 100% happened in all of them is gonna be wrong
For any new people , their names are above their head
Even the portal has this asymmetry.
If the theory about them splitting is true, I wonder if this can help give us insight on if one came first?
AFAIK, there are two interpretations you can think of with the whole splitting thing. One is that one of the twins always existed, and the other got split from their mind somehow and took form separately. This is the one I’m talking about. The other, which I subscribe to, is that they both kinda existed beforehand and then split
Maybe like castor and pollux, one had to give something of theirs to the other for their survival ?
Sorry to interrupt but 
the twin towers having one crumble isn't really a sign of one being 'higher' than the other, but rather mimics their hair. The left is high and 'spikey' like
while the right is more rounded like a bob 
too tired to theorize myself but pulling up this idea in case it coudl add onto ur theory train
Look
💛
YEAH
YEAH
THIS
YEAH
Owh they look so hawt 
I see a LOT of headcanoning on them being functionally the same or similar person, which is really neat and leads to cool body horror stuff. But. Consider. The valley twins are complete opposites, each representing different ideas of people within their realm, and constantly compete with each other. There’s one who’s really invested and darkstone and one who’s really against it, for example
I think, on some level, they agree with each other on things. If they didn't the Valley would likely be a mess (unless they solve every problem by competing and the winner gets their idea implimented, which, still would probs make Valley a mess)
Owh sah you okie?
Do you think it’s possible they were on opposite sides of that conflict?
But being two (who clearly don't agree 100% of the time), means they can refine ideas by bouncing off each other, which helps when running a place
Valley Tour guide: Alright, here are our great elders!
Tourists: Are you sure we should be in here while they're fighting?
Valley tour guide: My dear traveler, they're always fighting. Now just stay behind this red line and you'll be fine.
THIS is what I was getting at. What if they only split right before the war started or something…
It’s like an extension of that idea I mentioned earlier about the elders depending on the health of their realm and people to survive, but with the people influencing them if that makes sense
Valley Elders: -literally take time to pretend to be one person, moving perfectly in sync, in basically every cutscene they have-
Fandom: They never stop fighting ever
That would be unfortunate. But if true, then they clearly made up eventually, since we see them together in the cutscene. So…if they were on opposite sides, their loyalty presumably wasn’t stronger than their bond together.
Like kyurem in pokemon B&W ?
I don’t know who that is but sure
Loyalty to the people you love is my jam u can't do this to me
They're two clods walking as ONE clod!
I still think I prefer the concept of them being uncannily similar just because it’s cooler in terms of headcanon, but idk if it’s applicable to the actual World. The symbol part is super weird.
Consider: them being complete opposites and then getting trapped in a tiny pocket dimension for several decades and being unable to leave. It’s like a more horrifying version of the Get Along shirt
It become a Disney movie. They sing a song about why they are on opposite sides and why the other twin is wrong, before coming together and realizing that they’re stronger together even if they don’t agree. 
Not ok…TW!: blood
one of the castor and pollux myths has the mortal twin (varies on telling) end up gravely injured, and the other chooses to give up half his immortality to either go back and forth between olympus and the underworld, or what feels more relevant here, gives up half his immortality so they can both be placed in the stars as constellations
Black and White have this whole thing about two dragon legendaries that represent truth and ideals, and we learn later on that they used to be one entity.
The split happened because two siblings the og dragon was linked to were arguing on how to rule a kingdom, and to reflect the conflict, it split into the dragon of ideals (Zekrom) and the dragon of truth (Reshiram) while leaving an empty hust behind (Kyurem).
The siblings of course went at war with eachother and their respective dragons.

Meanwhile Forest mama, who has been sent over to babysit them, just watches, sipping her tea, and occasionally saying “just not the face, guys”.
Oi it’s a headcannon!
I'm sure Alasdair has u covered on the 'trapped together and fighting until they get along' thing
Forest elder would give them swords just to see what happens.
UGH NO THANKS
by Alasdair
Throws her hammer toward the two of them and says “catch!”
This isn't the one I was thinking of actually. Where is Alasdair, he'd normally have plugged his fic yesterday
Hey guys, the get along shirt. The elders put them in the get along shirt
Will draw!
that’s their pocket dimension
(The inside is coated with superglue.)
It turns out the Valley Elders were trapped in their pocket dimension before Eden, so they'd stop fighting so much
alasdair's writing is a godsend
YES IT REALLY IS. Sometimes I mention things from it in here so that he posfs it and I get to read it again. Don’t tell him
@frigid tinsel
-resists urge to ping him-

Every time u cheese me u simply provide me with more ammuniation
Sahmekh aren’t getting in
I need context for the last one

Cannoneer did it
I initially thought “Cannoneer would never” before realizing “yes, yes they would.”
fine I will be the one to escalate this conflict… places a massive slice of cheese directly on top of the days of bloom tree, covering the Lightseekers as well
Ö the face of why???
are any of them allergic to cheese
Forest Mama is gonna get you
salem you're going to get skykids to accidentally bite the tree
Hey, if you wanna hand out free cheese, I’m sure that’s fine with everyone.
good. I have a slice of cheese for them as well
I'm torn because the Valley twins being the same entity but with two bodies is really cool, but also twins that got tired of their gimmick... auuuhhh 
Some people tried to have both by making them split from the same entity but over time they grew their own conflicting personality, but I like to think it's much simpler, like Kyurem in pokemon.
Maybe the Valley elder looks like they have two bodies "by demand" (ie: there were two factions in valley that were in conflict and had vastly different views, so the elder divided themselves in two halves who only looked like they were in conflict to reflect this), but since the ancestors are no more, that valley elder retains their appearance they had before their demise, without the need to perform that conflict
What do we think the Elder would look like combined. The same, only with the hairstyles fused together or something?
Really smol mof judging your decisions…
Yeah basically. The sillohette they make when pretending to be one before they pull out the fancy twirls like 'surprise! Double trouble!'
In my cursed fanfics, i made a robotic fusion of the 2 valley elders. A Samekh Mech, if you will
someone pointed out the hairstyles superposed look like the
symbol
priestess valley elder from the concepts did mitosis and that’s how the twins happened thank u for coming to my game theory
priestess 💕
I will once again present my theory that they split because of being corrupted by darkness
shoutout to priestess one of my fav characters despite literally only have ONE scrap of concept art and a mention somewhere
thats how you make more lesbians
I mean it does, but at the same time, Flight is connected to Forest and Prairie pretty explicitly. You'd think we'd get valley hints beyond 'Aviator likes to go do valley races for fun sometimes'
diy ing an entire character using only this challenge go
Hopefully we’ll get a little more lore when the flight spirits return as TS’s and we get hints regarding them.
The TS hints are just Ash's head canons tho (Albeit some pretty brilliant ones)
True, but we’ll take what we can get at this point.
Wait really?! Most of them aren't legit?
I will draw everything I see
I cannot believe this characters first reaction to seeing a skykid is to fight us. Anyways imagine vault elder raising the twins because somehow this reminded me of them
Alas, they are not. Shocking, I know.
Yes, we ARE desperate
@tranquil harbor I'm just shocked because not all of them are physically impossible, META, or fueled by what could possibly be Ash's eternal hunger
they are like AU versions of how the characters would act in our universe, nof how they would act in universe afaik
poor vault having 2 raise those two rascals they were prob a handful
How'd you find this out?
Do you want a cursed description of the Samech
Everyone else is like “we don’t know why there’s two this time, just give them to the smart one, they’ll figure something out”
Yes
it came to me in a dream! hope this helps
Ash said so. I think in response to Juggler being a streamer (or having a desire to be one)
And they don’t even know which one is the smart one anymore after seeing them try everything out.
yknow if the twins like salt n pepper on apple slices i wonder what other funky creations they’ve come up w in the kitchen like bro they should try oreos dipped in chicken noodle
tbf ash was behind flight, so the TS hints will probably be real close to the personality they thought the spirits would have 
Tsadi just holding up the valley elders by the back of their collars so they stop fighting
Y OU
IM GOING TO BEAT YOUR CODE TO DEATH WITH A FOLDING CHAIR
The one time we're actually going 'it's not that deep and we take Ash's fun stuff with a grain of salt' sky bot comes in to scold us. You know what, fine, all of Ash's things are 100% canon, thank you sky bot
Now I wanna befriend fire prophet 
Don’t say I didn’t warn you
Prairie Elder tries to convince them to sit down, have some tea, and a nice dialogue, but it ends with them fighting and all the tea on the floor. Prairie Elder is very sad.
Ash is this
We barely get any Word of God so Ash is the next best thing
NOO
Ew they fused like in Steven universe
No, Sky Bot says Ash is word of god now, and we can't argue with sky bot
Don't worry they can just touch foreheads to fuse
I’d say this sounds more like when the Thing absorbs peoples bodies in that movie.
Bruh I’m having tea rn AYIN!! I WANNA SIT WITH YOU
Fo those who have very short attention span
summary of my concept on darknsss is that it works by splitting people apart into separate bits/personalities and sometimes bodies. It’s what happened to the king to make skykids. Anyways, it’s my idea that the twins got corrupted and they either separated just because that’s what darkness does, or they were forced to in order to stop it from spreading further. They were never “meant” to be separated (like they weren’t planned to be two separate entities from their creation) hence why they both have to have prosthetic arms + maybe legs + eyes, they didn’t have enough light? to form 2 separate people
Then cheer him up. He needs it.
whats going on here
Eww 
Sky bot says Ash's hints are canon lore
FOREHEADS
WHAT'S WRONG WITH FOREHEADS
WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST FOREHEADS
So it WAS the valley twins who began the war!!!!
They BÖNK into a mecha
wgat
Funny small headcanon: translation errors around the word “split” and slightly different languages often lead to ancestors from isle coming to valley and asking “Ok so how did they get divorced”
Salem your MIND
Darkness separating would be the perfect antithesis to the game being about community and Light being unity.
Plus, pity room and limbo have us being all alone so...
oh? 
I was kidding, I'm just mad at sky bot for being annoying
i want to give the twins a cardboard tube each and see what happens like will that cain instinct kick in
YES THANK YOU IVE BEEN TALKINF ABOUT IT FOR AGES. I LOVE THE IDEA SO MUCH.
Also separation is what darkness does irl, showcased especially in the fire trial, where it cuts off points of light (like us) from each other and isolates them
sibling violence is so fun i’d recommend it
YES HAHAHAAH 
Draw Samech now 
flashbacks to the time 2 of my classmates fought each other with 3 pool noodles and a rubber chicken
already tried to smack
with their sports paddle for being mildly irritating, they'd attack with cardboard tubes at the first opportunity
How did that end?
i bonked my bro with a cardboard tube while cooking dinner, extremely satisfying
cardboard tubes r such a good weapon for bonking siblings w they make a nice thunk sound and don’t hurt them
I believe most of Ash's headcanons except for these (Stretching Guru's hint list):
Red: Hints that may be fueled by ash's hunger
Cyan: Hints that aren't possible in Sky's world (yet)
Pink: Meta hints (ok the one here isn't a good example but they do exist)
They were told to put the items back in storage, nothing else happened after that
YEAH
YEAH YEAH YEAH
DOWNLOADING THAT INTO MY BRAIN
IT JUST FITS SO WELL WITH SO MANY THINGS
Okie edits
oh
Yeah, that was sadly anticlimactic.
the skateboarder thing w guru just makes me think of tony hawk
OKAY YESSSS do you want to hear the opposite end of it: elder creatures and coelacanths being the fusions? of many different manta souls, like mini hiveminds
Does anyone have the link to the TS hint website?
they forgot to include the best hint in the list. smh
Don't question me if I call earth day "Earsther day" or "Esther Day".....
YEAH
NOTICE HOW MEGABIRD SHAPE UNITES ALL
like
at first you see a few mantas, then in orbit the birds and mantas all blur in abstract moving shapes ("rivers", orbs and so on) and thats why I think megabird isnt one entity, but the fusion of many, hivemind
which one is it
Scarecrow's hints from lorechat haven't been added either
The “they think plants like to whisper to people” one?
no. the one about guru having a crane fursona
lmao
Oh, well that is a classic. 
So light= unity and darkness=separation! I like this a lot, especially because Skykids represent unity extremely well. I headcanon that the King using darkness to become the Storm, which fits well with the idea since he separates himself
how the hell did nobody tell me about this
my greatest accomplishment
TROUPE GREETER NOOOOO NOT MY HOUSE
I'd say your greatest accomplishment was that Ash remembered you and prepared Scarecrow's red panda specifically for if you came looking
you should start running
THATS AN EQUAL I ALSO CONSIDER I T HIGH ON THE LSIT. I FORGOT TO THANK THEM BC I WAS TOO EXCITED :(
yall been making furry forest elder jokes but ohohohoh how did that go under the radar/lh
of course I miss Valley Elder(s) talk when I pass out.
Troupe Greeter is the fastest in the land. There will be no “running”.
Scarecrow farmer in turning red 2
I'd love for Troupe Greeter to come to my house. I didn't buy your music sheet bro, come back. I guess I could beg Alasdair to sit around and let me play it but...
turn into a red panda and chase all the birds
he passed out because I hit him on the head
Oh, I guess they didn't like my gift of sour candy.
||what a sucker troops greeter is/j||
then hide
Why did you do that?
I don’t know…
I’m summoning pof GET AWAY FROM MY HOME
also I love that the furry spirit in gratitude is the only one without an animal mask
ok i cant put it into words so have a drawing, but imagine the movement being like megabird is a waterfall, darkstone is the rocks protuding from the cliff separating the stream
relevant fic excerpt:
YEAH!!! The way you drew it almost reminds me of the River of birds isle makes as wel… ooooh
Another way to envision it is like stars, being separated from each other by the endless darkness of spade
IT WORKED AGAINJN.
Well, maybe they're the only one who chooses not to be overt about their fursona
instead they need to broadcast how much they love candy corn
Understandable. A fact all the world must know.
Ok I changed my mind tg you can come visit with ALL OF THE SPIRITS IN THE SKY
I realize I made a typo here, but I’m just going to keep it because I love the implication that @white junco is a being of endless darkness
oh hey that's me
We caught you Spade
…So is it true, then?
Please bring pof 
behold the endless darkness and abyss of spade
spade?
Spade was actually the Leviathan in disguise this whole time.
Fruitzie my dearly beloved. Please scroll up in chat
HHASHGSNGNASDGASDG NYOOOOO
Owh I lucky haven’t broken a bone
oh that reminds me of your theory that darkness represents inertia, of stopping and sitting down and making one appreciate the present while light represents constant change, flowing and moving forward.
it's like the future – the light keeps coming while darkstone/darkness interrupts and alters the trajectory of time into multiple possible outcomes.
evil laugh
Wuh oh.
EXACTLY
YOU GET ME
Oooh hmmm… darkness being the future,., season of prophecy… isle getting the red light and ability we now associate with removing things from darkness’s influence/destruction… HMMM
not that darkness is the future but it can change the future from what what light intended
Though I imagine darkness less as "sitting down to appreciate the present" and more like "building something meant to withstand time to the point of looking almost immortal"
isle's drastic changes throughout it's history, from being a prairie, to a desert, plus probably not always having been an island
isle with the constant change light swag
It can still fit if you thinj about it. There’s no way Megabird INTENDED the kingdom to be destroyed. If you take this further… maybe the whole king prophecy thing was never meant to happen in the first place
Or maybe even there was supposed to be a King, but the wrong person took the position.
Like a prophecy of Doom but the prophets misunderstood
Prophecy Guide!

if we're nominating kings I would like to add in Pointing Candlemaker, as he is already a king in my heart
there is a krill in the final mural of the Cave of Prophecies
the propfeps first mistake was making the trial corridors and platforms too small for anyone but the king to succeed at them
While the light is fluid and goes into cycles, darkness is stubborn and tries to fight against nature itself to keep existing.
But also...
The light is fickle like a bird nest that can get destroyed in a storm, and darkness is the sturdy building that is still here after centuries of abandonment.
Prophecy Guide as king is something I haven’t thought about but definitely want now.
my personal theory is that the prophets didn't exactly create their trials, but were just assigned to watch over them and train students to attempt them
Alternatively: light is like stars. It lives for a while, it provides life to the planets around it, and it glows with light and heat and energy. But it dies eventually.
Darkness is like the void of space. It’s pitch black, it’s cold, and it’s empty. But most importantly, it’s eternal. When all the stars have died and the universe is empty, darkness will remain
Not the same flavor as what I was trying to say but I get you.
If I put it into cheese dip will it be the correct flavor
but eventually the bits of stars that died slowly move closer and closer to each other, by gravity or by something else, and eventually a new star is born, thousands of years later in a void that never changed.
I think it ties with the theory that Megabird itself is a star and effectively the sun of the Sky world. It’s very old and all that, but even it does eventually, and it’s just trying to use its powers to hold off the darkness long enough for its world to survive.
MEGABIRD IS GONNA DIE?!
YESSSSSS THATS MY THEORY POG
In billions of years, sure. That’s how long stars “live”.
Doesn't Megabird look more like a conglomerate of stars, not just one?
Hmmm… isle being more destroyed and empty than the other realms because of its connection with light. The other realms being more preserved, as well as the spirit memories, because of their connection with darkness
Well, sure. But that might just be an illusion. I mean, if it was multiple stars, then the Sky world would be completely unable to support life, nevermind having an entire ocean. If it was that many stars around everything would be burned up instantly.
it's not that light & darkness are totally bad or totally good, just when out of balance they can cause havoc.
too much change and you can move too fast to appreciate the life around you or lack a feeling of stability/home, as too much light can be blinding.
too much stagnancy and you can find yourself in a rut, bored rather than content, stuck without new opportunities to grow, as too much darkness obscures.
Yo why does troupe greeter have mitten hands
NO AND I WILL EXPLAIN WHY. the stars in the sky universe are WEIRD. They can fall to the world and be reborn into children; they are imbued with life in some capacity in order to do this. Not only would it be extremely weird for stars in our world to fall to earth (“shooting stars” are not true stars. If this happened irl we would die) but theu notably do not turn into children. I submit the theory that ‘stars’ are much smaller concentrated orbs of megabird’s essence that orbit the world, appearing similar to stars, but with the ability to fall to the world
ye
I even have (a small amount of) evidence to back it up! Believe me, I am unstoppable in Prophecy lore 
Hmm. Is it possible that it’s not just the dark side that takes over the light? Imagine a world where Megabird gets so fed up with the darkness that it just tries to completely destroy it and tips the balance even further towards its side. I wonder what the effects would be.
I think of megabird as omnipresent throughout the sky world. Sure, we see megabird, we see the stars, but do we really? can we really see all of something so fast? Megabird touches every soul, living or dead or inbetween. Less of a god and more of a force, encompassing light and life. And maybe all those souls clustered together would actually form a consciousness. Not the same as us, not on any level near us. but something
interesting
I have been sitting on this collection of theories for ages and I never posted them because it seemed like no one cared. I am super glad to be chatting about them now
But do you think it’s sentient or just a force that exists and does actions based on mere instincts, not complex thought? Just curious.
You gotta post stuff. People care more than you think
Ok here's another attempt:
Light is like the cycle of death and rebirth; nothing is lost, everything has a place, nothing matters, everything matters. All will eventually perish, but they will foster grounds for new birth.
A phoenix, if you will. Creative fire. Funerary fire. Born from the ashes of your predecessor.
Darkness is a natural attempt against that cycle, to leave a significant mark for the future generation. An eyrie used by generations of eagles. A house that still stands despite having been built centuries ago. Darkness is an investment to go against the flow and leave a mark for those to come.
These two forces don't usually fight, they can actually go hand in hand. But too much of one, and things become unhealthy.
When there is too much light, there is unity because everything takes the same path, but no personality because everything is in a constant flux.
When there is too much darkness, there is isolation because nothing changes since the flow has been stopped. Futile attempt at immortality, as we can see this was the demise of the civilisation whose ruins we thread through.
My theory is that Megabird is the sun and that the Light is both the Sun and all the sunlight it sends our into the world
I think I have no idea because I am a silly little mortal who cannot comprehend the sheer vastness of the Megabird and how that would even theoretically work. All I know is that sometimes things happen.
also I think I'm in a writing mood with no ideas so now lore chat has to watch me be confusing, sorry lorechat
That last line was poetry. 
thanks, this one is for the epic of gilgamesh
Vela wording better than me right now, that's my thoughts
Yo why does troupe greeter have mittens for hands 
rendering issues
it's easier to render mitts than seductive long fingers
Because that’s easier to design for the Devs than hands with fingers.
No true lore reason, just a practical one. 
YOU. I LOVE THIS.
Ahah I think it looks funny
Here's a finger lore question
Do the devs just choose random spirits to give finger privilege to or does it depend on their personality/traits they have?
THANK YOU. IT ALSO EXPLAINS HOW SPIRIT STARS WORK TOO, BECAUSE THEY JUST GET SENT UP TIWARDS THE SKY IF THAT MAKES SENSE. MAYBE ELDERS ARE JUST BIGGER LIGHTGLOBS
What would that even mean for the spirits that have fingers, though? That they like to be more “hands on” with stuff? 
I need finger privileges cuz I’m a sky kid and I have mitts
SAME THOUGHT SAME THOUGHT SAME THOUGHT
i don't think megabird is a character !!! sure it can be referred to as a character, but more like... how we refer to the moon ("she's a lesbian"), you know ?
If you think about it there are TONS of similarities between the Megabird, the light in Sky, and just how the sun works in general. It makes sense that they’re all deeply connected and/or synonymous
I'm not a fan of thinking of Megabird/The Light dying though, since I see it as a personification of that cycle of death and rebirth.
I think of Megabird as the consciousness of the Light. the Light is the conglomerate of all beings of light but all their experiences and personalities are preserved, a collectivist hivemind of sorts. Megabird is the sum of all the Light's thoughts and acts on the Light's behalf because Megabird is the Light, just the one making the Light's decisions based on the thought processes of all the beings of light within it.
Ok but also. Darkness being permanent and patient, because patience is all it needs to win against light, and the virtue of water/blue light being patience ALSO further proves my point about water being connected to darkness. It’s all connected bro
galaxy brain takes in lore chat tonight
Don’t stars work like this as well? With new ones being born from the remnants of the old one
YEAH maybe the Light would be more like a galaxy then !
maybe it ebbs and flows? And maybe there was an ebb, a natural part of the Light and the megabird, and the ancestors thought the world was ending. Maybe that's why we have prophecies and darkstone and the king, because they were afraid the light would leave them forever
POG
Mitts
Okay but further consider: Megabird is the sun. With every bit of darkstone use, with every encroaching bit of darkness corruption, the sun gets weaker and weaker. Towards the end of the kingdom, everything gets colder and emptier. Plants start dying. Grasslands turn into deserts. Some ancestors, like the abyss spirits wear warmer and warmer clothing to keep away the cold. They begin to look for light wherever they can find it to survive, creating a spiral of destruction in which darkstone technology gets depended on more and more, further destroying the sun and dooming them
aww
What will happen to us if Megabird dies? Will we die too?
ig that plan isnt an option now...
If Megabird is the personification of the light, then yes. And even if we didn’t die immediately, the darkness would soon take over and kill us without Megabird there to stop it’s advance.
hahahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
yeah
If I was a TS hint
Wants to fly
Has mitts for hands
Yellow wings
Has floppy pants
BIG prophecy fan
Likes cold brew tea
Has a sibling
in accordance with my theory, Megabird could only "die" if the Light was separated since Megabird's existence is dependent on the Light being together and connected
Coincidentally! Guess what fun thing would happen if darkness, the force of separation and isolation, managed to corrupt the Light!
Feel free to do your TS hints!
Amelie we are talking abt something completely different atm — might be worth moving to #general-sky-discussion or #cozy-sky-discussion 💛
what are the components of the Light?
we gotta think of a new one
2 cups flour, 1 cup butter, 2 eggs,
And some milk as well!
you are still a Megabird anarchist?
other beings of Light. every individual being of light that unites with the Light becomes one with the Light, connected with it, and supplements the Megabird consciousness
aww bummer… I just wanted to have fun…
But yes we would die with the megabird
So if one star was to defect, everyone would die?
Yes
Zoinks
hmmmmm
We WOULD definitely die with the megabird 
This is bringing me back to the days when I was a Megabird Anarchist
Wait a sec remember what happened to the prince he's a star right
Is he the cause of what happened in eden?
My idea was that Megabird is the only star left, or even that it might have been a whole galaxy at one point but all the other stars left. So if it died, so would everything else in the universe… until another star was born. Just like us, it doesn’t die permananrtly
wait really?
I mean, that’s how it would work with real life Earth. If the sun disappeared, we would all freeze relatively quickly. 
maybe
no because it's just one star/being of light. a "defective" star is still connected with the Light but it's just one among many. it's being contributes to Megabird as much as the rest does.
Ooohh
staring at the Megabird and experiencing vague overwhelming emotions
I mean, yeah!
I have a "devotee" OC in the works so I am definitely not one right now
I've always though that the name megabird was so silly lmao
big bird
ancestors about to invent religion
"you could make a religion out of this"
I now understand religion
I just wanted to say sowy
…. I just wanted to have fun..
There is a proper time for it, and right now lore chat is in serious mode
dw about it 👍
Welcome to lorechat! We have talked about amazing things such as breadshaw served with veal, The Samekh Mech, and A
{\displaystyle F_{\rm {d}},=,{\tfrac {1}{2}},\rho ,u^{2},c_{\rm {d}},A}
Aw bummer
* walks out sadly *
CARD POSTED
HUH
sorry for the person im aby yo become. sock.
ITS OJ SKY INSTA
we got the story teller card bois
I've always wondered why skykids don't have fully formed hands and why ancestors did
Are we just wearing mittens
“Has a knack for imitating accents” British accent
GO SLINK GO
yall yall yall
As we speak Slink is ascending into a higher plane of consciousness out of sheer joy
alef got fingers and look what he did. no finger privileges for skykids
10/10 DESEIGN. NEED IT. TOAAAAAH
we do have fully formed hands
Waittt fr
I will holdj and treasure them gently
hehe
YEAHHHH
Lorewise we do
I’m cackling at how quickly this conversation went from borderline cosmic horror to CHARACTER CARD CHARACTERCAED
lorechat: what is god? how does god work? why does god–
lorechat: CARD CARD CARD CARD CARD
I like that they're wearing a sad mask and holding ahappy one
still sad about everything
Hhhhhhhh card card card card
We have become the seagulls from finding nemo in an instant
Lore: CARD AND CARRRRRD IMA WHOOOP CARD CAAAARD
me: 
CARD CARD HHHH where are the others gimme gimme
Amelie bro… it’s not that deep… we are not the only channel on this server. #general-sky-discussion #cozy-sky-discussion
forgetful storyteller my friend oh my god “unsure what to do with their hands onstage” literally me on stage
Waaaa..
nu fawr…
Is there a time line of which spirits died first or did they all die at the same time when eden exploded
I can put my near constant feelings of existential warmth on hold for storyteller (beloved)
We’re not sure. I do think that some died later than others, but I used to think that they all died suddenly. It depends on what you think fits the best narratively
@unborn narwhal, we’re talking about something else right now. You can’t just come in in fhe middle of an entirely different conversation and expect everyone else to talk about what you want to talk about, ESPECIALLY in a channel that isn’t even dedicated to what you want to post. Lorechat is probably one of the least fitting channels on this server to post your stuff in. #general-sky-discussion or #cozy-sky-discussion would be much better
Skybrah's fun fact of the day: 8 hours of sneep snorp a day keeps Dark Dragons away 
I like to think that spirits died at different points in time, just because of how different each season is theme wise. I don't think it's in the rainbow order of the pendants though
skybot go away I am experiencing so many emotions
Ohhhh ol@abstract goblet
Sky bot: -arrives-
Lore chat: -chasing them off with pitchforks-
No I said" ohhh OK" sorry lol
No
Baudshaw’s fun fact of the day: 8 hours of your constant, unfunny interruptions keep people away from lorechat
I love just how much contempt we have for poor Skybot. 
Skybot does not contribute to the convo
- cry’s like Spinel *
We got sick of skybot telling us not to use the channel as intended. We brought shovels and we will be using them
I just finished writing a thing about my enraged devotee oc
HEY SKYBOTS NOT LETTING ME REACT
Probably to use it to dig a hole to bury Skybot at the bottom of.
Also, Amelie, your over the top distress messages aren’t really convincing me to talk about your stuff more…
SOBBING THEY ARE SO CUTE
I WANT TO GIVE THEM A HUG
alas poor yorick
They blocked you-?
No it’s a bug
Yes, I blocked Amelie
Spirits have hands and yet when they bless skykids with an instrument they slam their mitten fists into it
:c
I suggest you go to #cozy-sky-discussion. Might be more befitting for casual conversations such as the ts hints you mentioned. Texting it randomly in the middle of a lore discussion might not be the best way to talk about it^^
you got even more right I am ascending I understand religion now. You look up at the night sky and feel warm and think maybe it's ok to not understand the stars because the world is warm
spade ily
Ancestor laying in the warm prairie surrounded by sunshine and just sobbing bc they love Megabird so much
Imagine them teaching the younger ones about Megabird as they draw murals together
Alternatively: ancestor gets a sunburn, shakes fist at god
HEY GUIYS NOW I CAN TALK ABT A RABBIT HOLE I WENT THROUGH RECENTLY
pierrot mask
"Old man shakes staff at star"
This is a more wholesome take on religion than what I grew up with
and harlequin mask
together, it gives the tragedy/comedy masks
This was what Gloating Narcissist was supposed to be
This is the one who jingles miserably in Sky
The world is alive, and bright, and warm, and every day they watch the sun come up and hear the Light call to them
when the theater designs go hard
Alternatively, looking at the starry night sky and crying at all those who make up the Megabird
I wonder if sky kids are gonna crowd forgetful storyteller and beg for stories. Do they tell better stories than Flight Guide?
Just a reminder that this spirit looks like what Gloating Narcissist could've been
Do you guys think the performance spirits wear the same mask constantly (the ones with emotions) or swap them with regular circular eyed masks when they're done performing?
Especially being overcome with emotion wondering if one of those stars is your ancestor, or a friend you lost recently
SALEM ALASDAIR AND SPADE YOU GUYS GET IT
I wonder what all the people thought when the prince landed on the earth
Was there some sort of newspaper or messenger manta thing they used to give this info to others?
Was he like a celebrity after he got all the elements form the prophecy cave
Did he know all the spirits as friends and we have to make befriend with the spirits because we are fragments of the prince that have shattered and have to go through the world of sky and we have to save his friends
COUNTERPINT: they team up. Theater night in the wind paths let’s goooo. You could probably convince the rhythm spirits to join and make it even more fun
“My friend, someday we will reunite in the Light again. For now, all I can do it catch a glimmer of your shimmer in the twilight.”
There was a day in the golden wasteland where the sun never rose again.
Where the ancestors all stood and waited, growing more and more anxious by the minute, and all the while the sands grew colder.
And all that was left for them to do was wilt.
Auto mod is getting on my FINAL NERVE censoring me for the most INNOCENT THINGS
Imagine the families having to scavenge for food near kills and toxic waste :,(
There was one day in wasteland where the Storm covered the sky for the final time, and nobody could look up and see the stars anymore… The immense loneliness of being cut off from all those souls, all those stars
I can't believe we're getting another valley season . . . . maybe I'm just old it feels like yesterday
Me too 
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m hoping they were all dead before the day came when the sun didn’t rise. That’s some pure angst right there.
Ancestors desperately looking at starless skies. One night, you will never see the stars again. Young Vault scholars weeping at the sight of star maps.
I already weep at the sight of star maps. I live in a city
Gimme a vault season I already talked about how crazy I am for the vault ✨ aesthetic ✨
Oh no I gotta leave soon before the rants start about me being overdramatic
Yawn hi
that thing where you're a city kid that's out in the countryside in the middle of nowhere at night for the first time, and then...
you look up at the sky
vela this is eerily close to something I wrote before I even thought about sky wth
We're mad because you're being innappropriate and then ignore why we're actually mad. Stop it.
I think the animation project will have a storyline as follows. There are two timelines at once. One shows an ansestor kid in the past, one shows a current day skykid raising a baby krill/mantatee/lightdragon and you get to see how the past connects to the present. At some point the krill becomes a krill and has to either be put down or purified. Im betting purified. At the same time the past shows how corruption came to be.
I saw a shooting star once let me tell you I freaked out (in a good way) BUT NO ONE ELSE SAW IT. Gimme more shooting stars where I live I had to travel to middle of nowhere (Nebraska) to see it
I once took a Scout trip to a remote rural location. Didn’t even have cell service. Sitting by the campfire, I looked up and saw the Milky Way for the first time. I was astounded, jaw-dropping. I ran out into the dark field to get a better look. I was just wow
ME TOO i went in summer camp and people had to call me from across the field because i was staring at the sky for hours
light pollution is robbing us of what life truly is about
Im still mad they dont have horns why does this keep happening
We doing poetry? OK!!

It looks around confused and distraught
For the first time in never you are alone..
The walls close in on you…
You’re trapped…
And your heart shatters….
If the seal pubby dies TGC isn't going to have an office anymore
Its gonna be a death tease but no worries prolly be fine
Okay imagine… the ench spirits crashing in wasteland, where the sky is covered by clouds. They’re unable to look up each night and see the stars like they were in their home, Isle; all they see is flashing lightning and stormclouds lit from behind. Aching with homesickness and beginning to realize they might never escape the island they’re trapped on and see the stars again, the nodding muralist paints a starry sky across the side of the forgotten ark so that they can all look at it, together
Yeah. I imagine it almost dies but then comes back with the power of the light or something from the child.
SALEM YOU COME INTO MY HOUSE LIKE THIS
Anyway, back to freaking out over butterfies and lore spelled without an e
I'm fine with temporary death scares. Coming back to life through the power of love is classic and amazing.
WHAT DID YOU EXPECT. I am still emotional about the concept of ark trying to preserve isles culture. I can write serious things too
crying and yelling and rolling on the floor
ancestors wishing they knew that today was the day it came, and that they went to say goodbye to the stars the night before
parents looking at their childen who will not see the stars whose stories are told by their parents
Vault scholars projecting the realm constellations in their library so that they can look at them even without the sky…
PLEASE
AAAAA
and then... and then centuries later the stars fall and we stumble upon the ark... and we help them restore their home... And then we reach the third quest, with the cyan light. We watch tears form in Crab Walker's eyes as they summon the winds to push upwards, towards the sky... and sunlight hits that lonely ark for the first time in memory
It is so so sooo. Dark The child can’t see anything.. then all of a sudden…BOOM!!!
Their pubby was STOLEN! They crumble to the ground in defeat….and sob
I think you mean a planetarium. . . It ain't that deep my dude
Where did the wholesome "sitting in sunlight and loving megabird" go 
sky fills me with a warm sorrow I cannot begin to describe. y'all are getting both sides of the coin today
Even imagine… all the enchantment spirits ascending, looking up in orbit, and seeing the stars again. Finally, they’re free, and all together again
Lorechat has angstropy
it tends towards angst
sorry 🧅
I would like to make it CRYSTAL CLEAR that English is my first and only language despite how illiterate I am in this server. I cannot spell or grammar to save my life
Have I been summoned? The Valley Elders allowing kids to stay in their pocket dimension, sitting them in their laps and telling them all about what the stars in their sky mean
I forgot to include this in the first message but I am Tearing Up
Same feeling I get when I finish pnr and chill out a bit with all the elders (from finishing the constellation) before I go on to revive 
do you think wasteland soldiers, when they can help it, lie down on their back to draw their last breath in the hopes of the last thing they see being the stars
The Valley Elder(s) have a sunset in their pocket dimension cos they miss the sunset of the mountaintops
I think I'm going to send the poem actually, I can't believe it's not sky
A mysterious glow shines down… pubby is BACK!
they cry tears of joy and move to vault…
You guys need to all go outside and look at the stars for a while and cry. Put a cape on too to really get the full affect
TJIS IS SO GOOD AHAT
What are you talking about?
A little story about pubby being stolen!:c||but then bought back||
If you meet them on the ground of their oob, the round circle where their statue should be lets you look up at the stars like a friend constellation, and is called the 'star field memorial'
@frigid tinsel IMPORTSNT WUESTION DOES CANNONEER IN YOUR FIC KNOW WHAT STARS ARE.
Sky literally has not right to be that pretty tho like I'm nostalgic for a place I've never physically been to. Let me get all 5 senses of sky I need to feel, smell, and taste it
What would cannoneer taste like (asking for a friend)
Um spelling issues bud?
please don’t block me for no reason again
Salty do you even have to ask that question
The Valley Elders always goof around and cause trouble, but at the end of the day when everyone else is asleep, they like to go to the memorial to reminisce the spirits up in the sky just for a while
Sky feels like crayons and oil pastel
Salty a little hint of gunpowder
I only allow my friends to make fun of my spelling @unborn narwhal hope this helps 💛
Leave. You are attacking for absolutely no reason and acting incredibly annoying. Go cry to cozy about it again.
Oh am I your friend 
Omg yes it's like I'm in a painting and symphony because of the soundtrack is just chef's kiss I played oboe so everything is just fantastic for me
Oi your rlly || not || true!

No Amelie, you are absolutely not my friend.
Amelie stop 😭😭😭
Ö …. -
you're. check your spelling before you come at others for it.
good lord
I know, right ?
If you go far enough from the mainland, the skies are clear enough to show the night sky and every star in all their glory.
Cannoneer “Vidar” had grown up in the mainland until they were rescued. They had never seen the night sky or the stars before. When finally brought far out, they rush to the deck of the ship, screaming. When Fritjof joins them, Vi asks if this is what the stars their parents talked about are. Fritjof puts Vi on their shoulders and says yes. They stare for a while.
Sky makes me so angry that I don't have an oboe anymore because that's the main instrument they use. I would love to get sheet music for sky if I still had an oboe but it belonged to the school
Where is the wooly manta when you need it?
Uh @livid crypt we gotta bit of an issue…
AWWWWWW I AM IN TEARS THAINK YOU SK MUCH THIS IS ADORABLE AND I LOVE U
