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?

boreal nebula
#

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 SkyDontGo )

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 SkyLOL ) 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

# rain pond i just had a terrible thought what if the player is the shadow, and the Sky Kid...

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.

boreal nebula

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.

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

unborn narwhal
nimble ingot
# boreal nebula JUST TO CLARIFY Old Beta was a thing (back when the game name was Sky Light Awai...

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.)

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

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

tranquil harbor

So the tallest sky kids (assuming it's natural and not resize potion) would be about 6-7, Chibis are like 2 maybe

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.

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 !

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 pCry
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

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

# compact shale Doesn't Megabird look more like a conglomerate of stars, not just one?

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

# compact shale Doesn't Megabird look more like a conglomerate of stars, not just one?

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

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.

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

What will happen to us if Megabird dies? Will we die too?

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.

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

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

@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

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.

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

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.
