Cackling Cannoneer is my favourite currently Modest dancer comes in at a very close second 
I have a new favorite nearly every day! It’s hard to choose, but recently it’s the performance spirits
Young Skater 4 lyfe
My girl 
👀 
Interesting

I can’t choose spirit favorites I like all 💛 💛 however I will add light whisperer and chimesmith to the favorites pool
Performance Guide is my fav out of the Performance spirits. They're parent shaped, and my skid collects those.
Ooo! Yes I wasn’t there for the season but when I relived chimesmith I got excited when I saw the stance
I adore Light Whisperer they’re so precious and I just can’t even 💛
I saw it, screamed CATPERSON STANCE and didn’t change it for the next 3months
I like chimesmith too, Salem!! If I had to pic one I would go for the daydreamer
I also have a big soft spot for praying acolyte and tearful light miner 💛 AND POINTIG CNADLEMAKER
I used it for a good month, but it’s also the main stance for an oc that is basically-
PRAYING ACOLYTE

Add the Earth Prophet for having the best spirit theme I’ve ever heard. Sorry chimesmith, this takes the cake
Yeah! You guys talk a lot about candlemaker!
Yep Praying acolyte also a soft spot !!
we need like a pie chart for spirits we talk about the most
Candlemaker and the elders are the only mandatory characters you have to meet if you do the bare minimum while still playing the game as intended. Like, they hold more weight than the others you have to find
r we talkinh abt blorbos bc i have too many
We could discord search every single spirit here, but it would take a lot of effort
Knowing Baud we'll have that list tomorrow
You guys talk alot about crab whisperer !
Also Slink, what’s a « blorbos »?
the conversation about assembly spirits doing warrior cats rps has lived in my brain rent free and made me like them a lot more than I already did (saying something)
My top three would probably be Storyteller, Scarecrow and Slouch, they r like guys to me
Blorbo is just a funny internet term for a character you like a lot basically
Blorbos is a meme from tumblr, referring to favorite characters in a show. 'Blorbo from my show'
blorbos are usually found in shows ! hope this helps
I think this applies here
I won’t lie, the warrior cat thing got me laughing so much
this particular spirit obsession started with @rigid mural and they keep teleporting their brain cell into everyone else’s heads so it spread very quickly
Anytime someone new comes to lorechat we roll out the welcome wagon and then lore chat goes angsty once they're in too deep
OH GOSH
Thinking about the name Eden.
One would think about the biblical garden God made in 7 days. Where each day, He made the sky, the waters, the land, the plants, the animals, the people and then resting on the 7th day. It is also the place where according to the Christian text, the first Sin took place. Where Adam and Eve did not listen and took the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge.
Adam and Even were cast out of the garden and the place was sealed off with a gate and guarded by the angels.
What if the Sky version of Eden is similar?
As in, the place is the 7th realm, it is where the storm is centred (the origin of the Storm of Darkness), the ancestors were sealed out of Eden by the Elders and the tree of knowledge, or the supposed fruit, would be the darkstone?
culprit spotted
Vela has been summoned?
Sometimes I wonder how many little details are just accidental, but this is TGC, who nails the little details, so you can never be sure when we're off the mark
I didn't get any welcomes when I dropped in recently

Hello Cosmos!
I don't think I was there when you dropped in
This is EXACTLY what I like about this game!
Crab Whisperer obsession syndrome is contagious
zephophine is just a little guy that unfortunately stumbled upon us being unhinged
Crab parent 
Ooooo, true I did for a good long time playing, now I kinda just want stuff that come of cool to me like Old Man Consequences and the messy hair from LP 
Ok I need to get to work on the spirit pie chart
We all know crab whisperer’s gonna win but still
That sums about all of my backstory
They reach out to touch everything they can get their little paws on like actual young kids
Like dang it TGC, they really r kids
I feel so bad for people like this. There was one person that stumbled in during the warrior cats discussion and was super confused and I felt so bad but it was so funny
I think there was someone who came in during the valley elders and pants discussion-
And on no-
correct me if I missed anyone but lorechat blorbos include:
—Crab Whisperer
—Pointing Candlemaker
—Cackling Cannoneer
—Performance guide
—Fire Prophet
—Dawn Elder
—Day Elder
—Dusk Elder
—Valley Elder(s)
—Forest Elder (furry)
—Vault Elder
Im sorry when did the pants discussion take place?
Excuse me supreme leader zeph, do you have time to talk about our lord and savior Resh: king of all that is holy and most belove-able character in the game? 
@covert carbon
0/10 list needs more elders not accurate /j
I don't understand people who find us when lorechat has taken a turn for the unhinged/joking and stay.
@frigid tinsel Valley Elders
I never realised the Valley elders had prosthetics until I'd gone to the oob after checking and I was like "I have been decieved I thought they were awesome gloves or gauntlets
"
UH GUYS WHAT DO I SAY
Flip a coin.
you say yes
OKAYOKAY COOL
we do talk abt the king a lot but do not listen to the propaganda unless I am sayi it
Thé answer is tails
There’s king propaganda?!
Excellent, I'm glad you have decided to let resh into your heart! 
He will arrive shortly
a greeting usually gives us lore junkies the hint.
Trueeeee, like almost everytime I drop by y'all be taking about eden... I feel like people don't appreciate the music in PNR as much due to the loud rock sounds 
THAT IS THREATENING 
HELLO???
I forgot Fire Prophet
Only if you're worried about it 👍
Also Strega, you have a pretty cool profile picture!
they’re already here fool
:)
This is resh aka mr.children of the light
He is well known for his popular quotes
There goes another message.
Trigger bot is the monster that feasts on messages from the Void.
(Personal joke, dont worry about it)
tbf days of bloom changed us
There are things I want to say about the king propagandists that Skycord has decided isn’t “family friendly”
I have no idea what you are saying but that’s okay because you’re my friend ☺️
I doubt it.
Mentioning the name of a white whale would be enough to get you in trouble.
Honestly wondering if this is why Crab Whisperer marched into my Abyss backstory fic and went feral
Everything I have to say about you is family friendly Alasdair, because you're very cool 
/s
Vela, do you use ms paint to draw?? Is that font comic sans?????
YEAH ITS SO FUNNY I love the feral ness
no
Living in the Wasteland makes you lose a few screws
I have to find their ts hints. I just remember them being canonically awful at cooking which feels correct
There are some words that the bot on Discord would delete without warning or reason.
It has caused folks that were typing long messages to be very upset about it, myself included. As it makes it impossible to retrieve the text.
Frankly, would rather have the screen shake like an earthquake when an offending word is detected than testing the bot to see what the offending word would be.
Actually I’m pretty sure I started looking around here because of the drawing of the forest elder with wonderbread and a cool hat
HELP
☹️
Didn’t you love totally innocent Onceler Teth
Thank you for telling me!!
Also, I appreciate the kindness Zeph. 
crab whisperer would eat a skykid if u dipped it in cheese
here it comes 🧀
Ohhh so that’s why people say you get « cheesed »
crab whisperer but it's the gordon ramsay skit with the pigeon in the kitchen
what I need to see. That
CRYING
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lW7oFExuxk
Crab sticks included XD
not available in my country rip
Makes me think of Day elder's secret food stash XD
ask and ye shall recieve
JERJJF
VELA
why is there a skykid in the kitchen?!?!
Raiding the pantry for gummy snacks, obviously
They are looking for food.
Granny was practicing favouritism with her food portions.
that kitchen was disgusting tho oh birds
For real though I really like this idea of the Lightseekers being kind and gentle with sky children because they knew a time light was scarce and children are fragile, but then we got Crab Whisperer that knows for a fact we're sturdy enough to withstand the wastelands and relive their memory, so they probably would throw us for fun.
CW w/ ancestor children: please be careful with the child
CW w/ skykids: yeet the baby
Good little sky kids who help ascend crab whisperer are rewarded by being thrown across the wastes (and they enjoy every second of it, the little goblins)
YOU TWO GET IT
We've gone from 'Crab Whisperer is bad with skids' to 'Crab Whisperer is great with skids, skids just have different culture/needs'
YOU assumed Crab Whisperer was bad with skids, afaik none of us disliked being beat up by them 
I never said Crab Whisperer was bad with kids, it was all you guys
I didn't 
skykids hadn’t been beat up by adults until Days of Bloom. Okay maybe the Valley Elder(s) but that’s expected. CW going feral was a surprise
Dawn double high five - "Let me hold your hand as we go through this cave, child."
Day piggybacker - "Woah there, young one. Be careful at the edge!"
Forest pioneer - "Here, let me help you get out of the rain with my umbrella, small one."
Valley twirling champion - "Careful on the ice, kid. You dont want to slip, do you?"
Vault Shusher - "Take the stairs one at a time, little one. But dont worry, I got you should you fall."
Skykid gets Krilled
Wasteland Crab Whisperer - "Hey there, you will be just fine! Just walk it off, champ!
I like how everybody accepts the Valley Twins basically are just a pair of dumb, feral spirits with a title
Valley Elders play with us ! During their cutscene, you can see your sky kid jumping to catch the light and it bouncing from their hand with
catching it back on their paddle !
Valley Elders didn't beat up the skids, they played with them a la keep away
I don't accept the Valley Elders as dumb feral people with a title, and in fact will fite people over it
yea – I just got a headcanon that the Valley Elder(s) teach skids combat and hit them as part of the lessons. it's expected, I've seen karate
not with that onezie they wont
Even better
Sky's version of Keep Away: Skykid in the middle
These are beta spoilers and can't go here yet
beta isnt allowed here, i'm afraid, but yeah, diversity win
Oh that’s beta stuff. Had no idea
(Off topic but I saw you guys talk about pasta earlier! A small cooking tip would be to add a little bit of oil to the water before it’s warm so that the pasta doesn’t stick to the pot!)
👀
The oil thing might be a myth
whoops lemme spoil that rq 
@white junco
Beta content isn’t allowed here at all period, even with a spoiler tag
Oh darn is it?
straight up you have to delete it. It's not allowed here yet
I’ve been boiling pasta without water and it doesn’t need oil
u right
lemme just delete that- 
Don't worry, we're not mad or anything. We just don't want you getting in trouble. We've all been in a place where we wanted to talk beta for some reason and had to sit here and seeth
there we go no more spoiler 
I like to think the Valley elders are actually competent and really smart in a trickster kind of way, so they end up doing stuff that sounds stupid if it's hilarious.
Everyone in Sky in nonbinary so every relationship is gay
Lorechat may as well be hosting a game of "Hands out of the Beta Cookie Jar"
Where the goal is to not get caught with your hand in the beta spoiler jar of cookies.
Beta cookies may be fresh and delicious, there is the matter of not getting caught snacking on them before they are in the Live game.
🍪 👐
Yeah, one time I drew fan art of sanctuary when it wasn’t released yet!
rallying thrillseeker was a past guide for days of rainbow 
I like to think they’re fully aware of the consequences of their actions but have both decided to ignore them (did I phrase that right)
NO THAT'S EXACTLY IT
they’ve met enough children in wasteland that they’ve just given up at this point and no longer care
GLAD TO AGREE!
They tried to be gentle at first but eventually discovered the sky babies like being yeeted
chibis are for throwing at walls
Hello Jhonny! I’m currently making Mac n cheese at the moment!
Lorechat isn't the place for this
@safe sphinx No, chibis go in the walls. Specifically vaults
I know I just saw that I was trying to delete before someone notice 
How they do that anyways???
You're still free to join us in here
they are for lowering through sewer grates to retrieve your lost yoyo
You know that Twitter thread meme where one guy declared sharks were smooth and everyone else tried to convince them they were rough acrually and it went on for so long? valley twins
Is it like the sky back rooms?? Where do they go
||chibi fall glitch||
dunno if i'm allowed to say that in this server since it's probably considered cheating 
That thread oh my gosh
The same can be said for advocating for salt & pepper on apple slices
We can talk about natural glitches, like rocket and chibi fall, but straight hacking is forbidden. Even if you didn't hack, knowledge obtained through hacking at all is also forbidden
ah ok
👀 👀
not saying the Valley Elder(s) are incompetent. look at the Valley of Triumph – it's basically the golden capital of the kingdom, still relishing in glory even long after the kingdom's fall. all that done with the Valley Elder(s) in charge, they must've been incredibly intelligent to coordinate the welfare of their realm.
all that work, they deserve to be a bit silly.
rocket glitch? what's that?
Who came up with that btw? Like this is the third time I hear of this apple pepper thingy
Funny sm64 double long jump but upwards
They're silly because they've earned it
@safe sphinx it's a glitch using the piggy back/carry emote. It makes you go woosh right into the air
One can reclassify it as a chibi burrowing into the ground like a mole.
I at least keep that as a headcanon to explain how conniving skykids can be when they are up to mischief.
boutta look up how to do it- 
Take a wild guess XD
#general-sky-discussion message
I feel like if we experienced Sky as adults they wouldn’t be as silly, they just saw a kid and decided to cheer us up by playing w us
Rocket glitch
I love rocketing, funniest thing ever
Yes rocket trick has no business being that funny to me
Ash (Concept Artist) came up with it. Sometimes they'll share head canons with us (and as TS hints) and since they don't actively contradict the lore, we take them as canon-ish because they're nice.
They said the Valley Elders would like salt and pepper apple slices
Skykids could be the descendants of the troll face. XD
yes that's me as a moth in the vid
I wish I had video editing software
Thank you for telling me!!
me getting to the international space station using the rocket (joke) 💀
from their reaction to the spread of this, it feels like a joke that went way farther than they thought 
Imagine landing from an Eden trip and justnrocketing back up. what will u do this time u stinky bird
If you ever want character lore, definitely check Ash's messages. Though be careful if you care about Beta spoilers. Being a dev means they hang out in beta sometimes
XD nevermind, hope that leaves a bad taste in Triggerbot's mouth
Cool!
It's just such an inane thing for fans to get caught up on.
'How many times can we possibly mention character likes x food?' Ash thought (probably). She underestimated our power 
it’s a completely believable fun fact though. I saw it and went “sounds accurate”
Apples are healthy, perfect for athletes. And the spiciness of the pepper + the salt might go nice with the sweetness of apple. Like, it's not utter nonsense
where's that really long pic of a bunch of mentions about the salt & pepper apple slices thing someone stitched together?
I am VERY entertained by the idea of someone taking the time to goin the chat and doing this
Lorechat: 70% lore, 30% silly nonsense and friendship
found it
oh my god
AHHAHA
Seriously, the inside jokes here don't stay inside jokes. If you ask, we'll tell you how it started and let you in on them (if we remember). I don't remember the exact cause of wall chibis in vault, but we were talking about a season where other players hunted the chibis and it was an us vs them thing
big fan of that thing ash said abt the valley twins using sporks i like 2 think it’s cause one of them insisted that spoons were the best while the other thought forks were so they just use sporks now to prevent an abel and cain
segdfg awresijdflk
Nah, I think they're so ancient that they think adults are young in comparison and worth cheering up, too.
Salem's 'Sold to Valley Eldars' fic is in there. A thing of beauty
I love how at the bottom there's this, which is dated before Ash's comment
Hunting chibis? 
I don’t think I’ll ever be able to top that
Not like deer, but more like easter eggs combined with tag I think. The joke was that at the end of the season, depending on who won, vault would be changed for ever.
The wall chibis in vault are also slightly feral and probably bite
the inspiration
the cain instinct paper roll thing but with paddles
the chibi mask reminds me of something. I noticed the dreams skater wore it as well which makes me think it’s a mask for kids or something,
Like a generic thing before they grow up and get other markings/animals to base their masks off of. Which is neat because It implies the skater is younger than the assembly spirts
hold up lemme edit smthing real quick
Skater wears the normal mask? The normal mask and chibi mask are the same
oh…m,,,,,,, :(
My point could still stand for the normal mask instead tho
yea the default mask is prob just a default mask
The idea of other masks being a 'coming of age' thing for the spirits is cute
YEAH I THOUGHT SO TOO
but there's something, what about the basegame masks ? they use the base mask model too
I can’t remember off the top of my head if any grown/adult spirits wear the default mask by itself
depends on how old you think the sanctuary spirits are
some of them Do wear that but they always have something on top if that makes sense. like maybe attached to the mask to help it stay out or something
the Flight spirits wear masks that very closely resemble the default mask except the diamond in the forehead is yellow in all of them
I forgo t o do my candle run be right back
that’s the spirit default mask, they don’t have the glowy bit
A lot of the adults wear the black/no mask look
unemployment
couldn’t figure out a way to work the paddle in but
wacky goofy sibling moment
YEAH
wait im gonna change something
i got your back
BONK
they dont know what’s abt to happen they got their airpods in
I can’t
Lorechat has entered silly mode
this is how the war started
Can’t,
is dead
HELP ME
Valley Elder(s) killing each other killed lorechat
i just have nothing to say & am procrastinating making dinner
Whatcha plannin' to eat?
Am also eating food
god I wish I knew
you guys are gonna laugh but i bought a new kind of cheese that im gonna try tonight
also doing food stuff here making some RICE i love rice so much
What kind 👀
forgot the name but it got fruity little flowers in there
Gay cheese
that's what crab whisperer eats
Gonna try eating it or gonna try using it on Salem?
Difficult decision
Days of Bloom lookin cheese
it's still wrapped but yet i could smell the floral scent
it looks like fruitcake on cheese
AHDSHSDHJSD FAIR
It looks delicious
crab whisperer confirmed crazy crab lady (nonbinary)
oh that looks tasty
PERFECT
YEAH CHARACTER LORE!!!!!!!!!
Crab Whisperer coming back to the Wasteland after being kidnapped and finding their hole still full of crabs
Yessss
Can y'all explain what kind of creature is this 😨
A bird
a bird
Doesn't look like a bird 
It's a statue of a bird. It has wings, a beak, and tail feathers
Oooo that sounds interesting 🤔
considering what a bird looks like spread wings
Eats it whole
i heard bird
aren't you lactose intolerant
RICE food of the gods
worth it. it’s called “destroying weapons that will be used against you in the future”
You know eden cheese is a thing too right
fine then I’ll eat Eden too. Don’t test me
i was getting my prom dress altered what did i walk in on ???
bird statue
grace Salem for xir sacrifice
Salem getting cheesed has acquired new meaning
ok wait. from someone with autism that makes me describe things in tastes and textures
isle tastes like lint and gets stuck to ur tongue
prairie tastes like celery and is kinda crunchy
forest tastes like crisp cold water after chewing mint gum
valley tastes like red bull or sour patch kids
wasteland tastes like champagne and makes u cringe from aftertaste
vault tastes like vanilla ice cream
eden tastes like cherry jolly ranchers or black licorice
Ezlo pls don’t steal my gender 😔 idek whether I have one or not because idc enough to figure it out but if I do don’t steal it
I’m willing to sell it though
(/j just to make sure)
synesthesia vibes
Yes except I disagree with Isle, it tastes like cinnamon
i’m convinced i have some sort of synesthesia, nothing super prevalent but it’s definitely there
might just be the autism spice tho
there's a not insignificant amount of autistics who have synesthesia
Eridan pfp???? 
I agree with everything but isle and wasteland. Wasteland is black licorice and isle is… hmm…,, bread crumbs
unfortunately 
ohhh crumbs, i got it now 
The flavor of vault is the only thing I have contention on. To me, I’d imagine a mild blueberry ice cream
WAIT WHATS THE JOKE. I DIDNT INTEND ONE. IS IT BC OF LORE CRUMBS
Edit: ok that’s pretty funny
Ezlo I’m curious. If we ate megabird what do you think it would taste like
People are currently split between roast chicken, some kind of fruit candy flavor, and (mine) honey
Butterscotch. Only viable answer
hmmmm......does megabird resemble the other creatures of light we see? like white and gold?
I agree with Baud it reminds me of butterscotch somehow, honey works too!
here is Kamilico's compilation of Megabird depictions
Kinda, but it’s much more glowy and concentrated
here are the main Megabirds
mmmmm. tastes rlly smooth and melty, like warm honey and cream. vanilla cupcakes!!! that’s it
vanilla cupcakes with lots of yummy vanilla frosting. or a twinkie!!!
Don’t eat that.
I will eat the Megabird and you cannot stop me
Thé forbidden treat of the day
y'all are looking at isle and thinking of foods that look like sand
isle used to taste like that candy dirt you get with gummy worms but now it taste like bread crumb
isle tastes like the old ppl candy jars
Isle tastes like a really stale cookie
Isle is like them grainy flintstones vitamins
Isle smells like lavender candles that have been blown out
oh! and orbit tastes like sprinkles
Sprinkle!!
Edible sand recepie: sugar, butter. Mix throughly till feels like sand, enjoy.
I will try this later ty
what are some other places for me to taste- or seasons!
uhh sanctuary islands
honey and lemon
oooooh, those like tropical fruit capri suns for sure
this is how you start sugar cookies!!
SAND COOKIES
Yup, also works to make edible sand.
I love thoes cookies
<— has eaten the butter+sugar mix, can confirm isle would probably taste like that
hey lore chat, did any of you eat lately
i’m eating rn!!!
soup
Just ate! Thank you for the reminder vela
I actually imagine Megabird would taste like sunburst cookies (basically sugar cookies with some lemon juice and zest mixed in)
Megabird would probably taste like the lemon jelly in lemon pie.
cave of prophecies would taste like double chocolate cookies. I can’t explain why
Not cookies but crunchy outside soft inside brownies
Cave of Prophecies would smell like fear
now that you mention it I think prophecy guide has a sweet tooth
I think that abyss tastes like thoes water-fruit sodas but opened on the counter for a few hours so it’s flat
A single blue skittle dissolved in sparkling water
abyss would taste like sparkling water
surprised no one has asked me what krill taste like
Bubbly blue gatorade?
la croix?
messages that make you mad you’re not part of sky universe and cannot bake prophecy guide brownies
sanctuary
piña colada
no like. the angry bitter kind
because krill taste like the tasteless, burnt ends of bacon. the shriveled up, blackened parts of moist french fries you don’t eat. like a cold turkey sandwich that’s been left out
Taste the krill
Ezlo, what do you think of abyss?
Bubbly blue gatorade with lemon juice
ezlo would u drink the abyss water
Season of Enchantment tastes like fruit roll ups.
hmmmmm, i think sparkling water is a good one!! that and fruity popsicles
Valley tastes like vanilla ice cream and salted caramel.
Village of Dreams would be fruit custard
I feel like sanctuary would be a blue raspberry snow cone. I know it’s super specific but it feels right
dreams is kinda giving me cinnamon vibes ngl might b all the red
I like the idea of salted caramel for valley, it would go well with the green apples and pepper/salt
sanctuary just generally tastes fruity
Eden tastes like pastafrolla that was burnt.
you know that red cinnamon hard candy? yeah that village of dreams.
YEAH THAT
100% agree!
Absolutely.
candy canes? 🍬
Cos no one here is straight
no not that. Those red hard candy discs and they taste like cinnamon
hermit valley peppermint I think
sanc island is where all the tax evading lgbts go
Was sanctuary always this tall??
Flight tastes like light blue gatorade slushy
Flight would taste like a blueberry smoothie
the performance theater tastes like crisp apples. idk why that’s just what i taste
sanc is p average height iirc might just b the skykid being small
prophecy though
now that’s the beanpole season
season of performance hmm… clove candy
Starlight dessert tastes like the galaxy drink at DQ.
season of rhythm tastes like the plastic handle of ring pops and baja blasts
You’re RIGHT but it feels like you’re bullying rhythm which is hilarious
you can just barely taste that lingering fruity taste man
You’re saying rhythm has no taste
performance guide: clove candy
rhythm guide: Plastic.
fruity plastic
Rhythm tastes like those lollipops that are waaaaay too sweet
compare them to performance guide and you’ll understand why this decision was made
Rhythm guide has no drip compared to performance guide
assembly 100% tastes like s’mores!! i can def taste it
what season would be mac and cheese, I vote belonging
the Daniel/ the cooler Daniel meme but with rythme and performance
Key Lime Pie as well
assembly, the guide can make it in their hat
Light-seekers tastes like lemon gelato
A yesh the pot hat
I disagree. S’mores is the only correct answer for assembly
i closely associate belonging and gratitude with christmas or thanksgiving dinners! so lots of big food that fills u up and makes u all warm inside
But it’s green and yellow, the assembly colors. I get that it’s the scouting season but it really does taste like key lime pies
If all the tax evading lgbts are going to sanc how do I catch a flight 
Belonging is turkey
YEAH!! like baked Mac and cheese :-) (I have to specify it’s not like the nasty gross box mac and cheese)
Can I join you?
helping grandma belonging with the turkey bc skykids can't get burned
Gratitude is ham
belonging could also be like really good chicken noodle soup
Who said something about the kids not needing oven mits? Reminded me
it was me lmao
I was thinking graditude was red pepper hummus idk why
No, guiso de lentejas!
(Off topic, but do any of you have hc related to the music sheets and the spirits they’re with?)
disagree. Lightseekers is the gay cheese vela posted
Lemon gelato with gay cheese (sounds disgusting but it’s great)
I DO I DO
CRAB WHISPERER SHEET IS SO QUIET AND SLOW CONSIDERING HOW FERAL THAT SPIRIT IS
i headcanon it's a lullaby
no sorry, I value my tastebuds and digestive system
Did? Did you try that combination before?
I have.
I like to headcanon they’re like… the sky version of oral history and the songs tell us things
crab whisperer humming a lullaby to sleepy crabs until someone spots them and they scramble back into hiding
AWWW
Megabird carries the world of sky on their back and they have a bunch of sleepy skids on their head.
Love these music sheet theories yall omw
hey want a gut punch. what if they learned it for scaredy cadet
SERIOUSLY SALEM ??? RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY DOODLE ???
ITS SO CUTE and I love angst
I remember the time you talked about how to maim with the lights, very interesting.
This is so sweet !! I love imagining spirits with music sheet singing 
can i have some context pls
Ask Salem.
the prophecy/enchantment lights give you elemental powers. unfortunately many of them have. murderous loopholes
what kind of loopholes
You can suffocate someone with cyan light according to Salem.
You could cause the heat death of the Sky world
cyan light is suffocating someone, crush them via air pressure differences
I’m probably not going to talk about it too much because, although I liked having the previous one, it definitely seemed like I was the only one who did and it was a bit depressing
To elaborate: the orange light/ prophet of Fire powers seem to relate to the matters of environment heat. Which means that you could burn the atmosphere, or potentially take all the heat away and freeze it
counterattack: scaredy cadet learned a few songs from them, but it's not the same when the lightseeker is not around
god
How do you draw so darn quickly!!
You have it already prepared
how did you manage to make this efen more brutal
maybe they hang out with marching adventurer because both them and crab whisperer are reckless
scaredy cadet's music sheet...
That would explain y their music sheet is so sad
it's my favorite one
I assumed marching adventurers spirit memoru was trying to help them feel better or something <\3
honestly gonna get a headcanon ancestor language was melodious because it was born from a need to sing
my headcanon is that the singing/notes in music sheets are part of rhe language it would be so cool. especially if you extend it to the songs that play in different realms and it’s like… a thousand voices singing to you what that realm was like
valley cheers
am aware that my headcanon is very out there but can u imagine how cool it would be
love is stored in the spirit
Really is! I’m glad I asked that question
i love this !!
I have to wonder why there’s so many trumpet statues in valley
Here is to hoping that the cadet does not learn a song about blue men in white caps.
Funny I was just thinking about Cadet and Crab Whisperer
the shared briancell is working.
i headcanon also music sheet is precious to them or linked to other
i remember laidback pioner in day of bloom , joining the 2 other playing instruments , and they have a music sheet
briancell
Lightseekers love music cos it can attract light
Hey mind if I add my drawing of it too? It isn’t the best but I’d like to contribute
( thank you!)
it also makes sense since the vocals in the game are heard in the isle intro and in orbit, places linked to the cycle of rebirth and light
thinking about how you can sing/honk along with the vocals in orbit
I wonder if music can attract light creatures like chimes can? Like… when you make a bird call and another bird comes to check u out
works with butterflies
what are krill lore-wise?
Thinking about my idea for a spirit call or some kind of vocal ‘instrument’ - you can play it like a flute, and maybe it has its own special part to play in sheet music? and you can hold the notes
Maybe that’s why there’s so many birds in flight!! There’s a lot of chimes
I would LOVE to have the ability to hold notes with any instrument
Corrupted light creatures as confirmed by Jenova Chen, founded of TGC. What they were originally is up to debate.
I hope if they do add it, maybe it can be an ‘instrument upgrade’ for older players to work towards 
Also could explain why so many jelly fish with jelly whisperer that know a music sheet ?
the abyss monster concepts can also give us a glimpse at how light creature corruption looks, as some of these were very clearly known light creatures, such as mantas or elder light creatures (big light creature in sanctuary)
D also looks most like the entrance mural
echoing back to the past idea of corruption.
I think those were leviathan concepts, not just corruption itself
One of my previous messages just got loaded into that photo hello??
No who deleted that pic of CW with the Assembly spirits, it was so cute 
Devs picking what creature was gonna be the OG light creature to mutate.
((Did I delete it by accident? sorry!))
Here it is again
B and D both look like Multimanta. H and I normy mantas. G, maybe a sanct whale? C maybe a canth but I still vouch for current leviathan being a canth.
AWWWW SO CUTE THANK YOU SI MCUH
canth?
Coelacanth
I'm confused are u talking about the whales/big fish
I think so. Coelacanth is an ancient fish
The Pokémon Relicanth is based off of it
always thought the leviathan was a sanc whale
i thought is was a giant krill
it is, kind of, we're talking about what it might've been before, if it was a corrupted light creature
i know there's this one concept art where a whale was kind of turned into a krill iirc
iirc that was fanart not concepts done by a TGC dev
What must have happened in treasure cove to make so many krills there 
I mean it’s still an extension of wasteland but still
I frew up :( /j (EDIT THIS IS A JOKE REPONSE TO HYD DONT TAKE ME SERIOUS)
They might add a new creature that is the uncorrupted krill too
I panicked realizing people wouldn’t realize I was joking
hold on i just remembered something from the switch trailer lemme get it
I think the most likely candidate for uncorrupted krill is this fella from the switch trailer, who we may see more of when the animation releases
There’s also that giant light creature the Rhythm troupe rides
Ah yes the elephant whale~
you beat me to it/lh
Yeah! Because they both have that eye thing!
big kiss for switch trailer light creature
That creatures bears some resemblance to the elder bird. Save for the face/beak being hidden behind a mask.
(thanks Turtle Rider)
Messed up the reply set up.
Referring to the picture above the one I replied to.
Could be also an eel elder creature like the one in treasure reef 
One thought is experimentation — with one of the Abyss murals you can see ancestors equating different sizes and numbers of mantas with a number of power diamonds. Perhaps ancestor scientists experimented on how to get the most power diamonds from light creatures efficiently, leading to corrupting the creatures they experimented on
Whoaa
imagine the abyss spirits leaving the reef and entering wasteland proper and seeing that the krills fly now
F in the chat for anxious angler
The concept murals heavily lean into the “experiment gone wrong” side of things which is rlly interesting
abyss season is almost just like subnautica i swear/hj
Yea, it looks very much that the Treasure Reef facility had been long abandoned when the Abyss crew arrived. Wonder why
And here we are~
Abyss guide: oh boy I can’t wait for you to show me the rest of the Wasteland!
(Enters the second room)
Abyss Guide: Aw, look, a manta!
(30 sec later)
Abyss guide: 😨
"So , there is krill here" panik
"They can also fly" panik
from some of the murals it looks like the abyss area flooded, but parts of it were always below sea level. I wonder if the sea level thing happened later or if the area flooded
Did someone say wooly manta?
How about fuzzy krill!

Do you think cannoneer would like the flying krills?
i love and hate this so much/lh
Angler:
I enter wasteland
I see flying krills
I leave wasteland
I personally think the area flooded thanks to some of the archetecture, especially when you dive deeper down. I wonder how they accessed so much down that way or were able to construct it all 
Yo right, where did the monkey mask concept art come from? The monkey abyss spirit.
Mechanic
Where did it come from?
Cannoneer: You said there was a catapult down here, right? I wanna see it. Just watch; this is gonna be so cool.
(honk)

Abyss concepts were released for the NetEase China server about two weeks ago: https://sky.163.com/news/official/20220413/26689_1012705.html
For real I made bug fanseason
Could you show us!!! I would love to see!
I need a steampunk season that takes part in Prairie because we love butterflies in Prairie. Mechanic can bring their gears and join us 
Also the concept art has swearing in it I didn’t except that
lol u shouldve expected it in abyss
Yeah you’re right
Ok well its only 2 bugs
I would enjoy a steampunk season, but I also want a violin
steampunk violin
Is that a kite!! I think kites would be so cool in sky!!
Fishy kite :] this was before koi cape was revealed by the way
I want a dragon kite like the days of fortune dragon
I think the pity room, Eden pity room, and the debatable extinguished form were the only pieces of evidence I had. Since I am stubborn, I will continue to think sky kids are hybrids. (Heh, rhyme) but I do see that this theory I have is quite lacking in evidence and is highly unlikely to be true.
This is so good
I love this
I think that skykids are hybrids........
Of ancestor and light creature :]
I don’t know what skykids are. And I’m completely fine with that.
they're silly little guys :]
Some of these are among the coolest ever. Top row is pretty normal but the second row is gold and the third is platinum.
greemlins
Instead of lamenting over them not in the game im going to steal and corrupt them to my own creature design talents.
Sky kids are avatars of chaos, born with the sole purpose of causing mischief wherever they go by breaking fundamental laws of physics like gravity and whatever law chibis are breaking when phasing through floors
skykids are like racoons: can open windows and latches, get into everything, cause chaos just because it's fun, have glowing eyes you see in the dark
prob that one law that things push back wuth the sa,e amt of force being piushed on them with, but the floor forgot to push back so chuibis can fall thru it
Chibi are definitely the raccoons of the Sky world
you walk by a small cave opening in forest and glance inside, there are 30+ skykids staring back at you
be gay do crime
(in this casw the ceime is breaking the dserver limiit)
I like skykids a lot, silly little creatures
look irt's 8:50 and i've been ceying over hw for the last hpur and a half so i have gfiven up ob typing

i think the assignnment is due tnmorrow at the beginning of class. but yeah i agre, anyway thids isnt the place for this lol so imma stop but ty for the hugs and stuff.
Your mental health comes before grades. If getting the assignment done would help, fine, but don’t forget to take care of yourself first and foremost. Take breaks if it becomes overwhelming.
Alrighty I’m going to bed now! Goodnight guys, and thank you so much for the warm welcome ☺️
Goodnight! Hope you’ve enjoyed your time here 
I have a slight hunch that these diamonds haven’t been questioned much.(or maybe they have and I don’t know, either way I’m continueing my thoughts.) So here is my theory.
These diamonds, the ones with the solid diamond in the middle and the floating outline around them, the ones like the king’s symbol but without the rays. These are symbolic of the elders.
To begin, I’d like to point out where we see these, and when grouped up properly, what quantity they’re in. We can find them on the eden door(s) and on the wasteland pillars in the first krill area(not the wall decorative pillars, the support standing out pillars) both occeruances are in a quantity of seven(with one seemingly missing but we’ll get back to that. We can also see one on the gondola tower leading to the colusium from the village of dreams, and even one on both of the isle elder’s statues on their forhead. As well as all seven elder hairstyle icons. This shows direct relation of this symbol to the elders, meaning that when we see it, we’re either looking at the inverted power diamond version, or we’re looking at the elders.
Now you might have noticed that when grouped there seems to be a notably missing 8th. I’m not 100% sure but I theorize this could be honting at a missing 8th elder(probably dead since thats what this game does with their missing leaders.) and after looking at the abyss consept art this might be a slight bit more likely. One piece showed a sunken massive temple like structure. Well, this is clearly a temple(but only because it is a temple that is temple like in nature.) this might hint at that elder having drowned.
And with that said, may we buy two bouquets of flowers for our three dead elders(two of them are twins so they have to share) and continue on with our lives.
keep seeing the solid inset diamond in temple I think this might be elder sydmbol
sorry for bad words am :(
The off wording is fine, I can still understand what you’re saying.
Also, I never noticed this before. Definitely proves this further.
I think the solid inset diamond is elders (it’s on the forehead of some elder masks the spirits are wearing) but I don’t know what the non solid inset diamond is. Like the one that isn’t filled in. It would be weird for them to be separate
the purple light symbol is also similar (has dot in the middle) and so is the one for darkstone which both complicate things so much further and are frustrating and guhhhh
The Ancestors:”Purple light, dark stone, elders?
All the same”/j
the elder and darkstone sumbol being so similar probably means something but I’m not sure what
I am like 50% sure the purple light symbol is meant to mimic an eye
Darkstone/refinery (I think it’s a diamond on inside but part of paint rubbed off)
so the purple light having a dot in the center instead of a diamond is similar to the symbol of the light that guides us through the game. The dark stone symbol is different because the center is a power diamond, then its outlined twice rather than once.
That is the symbol of the king I believe.
the symbol in the props and necklaces closet seems as though its meant to be the symbol for sky kids, a dot a circle and a bunch of lines coming out but still attached to the circle.
small door that looks like the big door also in forest temple. i don’t have an image of the abyss door but it’s got the same symbol but elongated
Elders, elders everywhere
I can't get on sky rn but there may be something in those gates with the diamond symbol on them. like uh. maybe they only show up in front of gates that take you closer to the temple. I can only remember some prairie and forest ones off the top of my head but
That is interesting !!! I think if i remember , in treasure reef too , cannoneer did shoot this kind of symbol right ? At least for me this symbol is important for sure ! Is shields in wastedland got the exact symbol too ?
Canoneer must really hate authority that much./j
in wasteland Yes
I am guessing the diamond symbols would be like the wasteland elder army or something and the sunburst would be.. whatever opposes it Huhhhh hmmm neat :0
Wait, that looks like a dark stone/power diamond symbol. The power diamond with two outlines.
looks like what u see in the faces of the king statues and also maybe apologetic lumberjacks mask
I also have to wonder. what the hell did the abyss crew have against the elders. there’s a story behind that and I want to know it
maybe the light? Or something similar to that.
you also see these things in valley
Also , with the symbol darkstone / refinery , maybe cristal with a dot could mean resource ? I just realised that the boat at home got this symbol too , a little different but cristal with a dot
RIGHT outside the temple too that’s so interesting… these have got to be important Skme how
I mean, they’re not stupid. They probably figured out what happened in the reef facilities
keep in mind that some of the manifestation spells (messahe boat for example) come down to us when we get them in the form of a spiky red crystal, could be darkstone. Also the symbol for those when you go over to collect them from the boat is the octahedron crystal
so, maybe putlined diamond with three triangles beneath means shop.
the triangle pattern is often seen on buildings, maybe it echoes that?
wait… what if abyss crew were part of the sun shield group,
The flaw with this theory? I do not see them caring about light creatures and being anti darkstone at all. They literally collect it. Maybe they have to do that to survive tho
It might be survival, but they could also be collecting it to remove it from nature where it could hurt something. Like a clean up crew. At least coming from 'they care about nature' and all that spin.
it would be incredibly cool if they were like. the descendants of the original sun revolutionary group and had to like constantly be on the run to survive or something. like their parents got exiled??! Hmmm?.,,,
I don’t think there is anything generally wrong with darkstone/ power diamonds. I think the issue is what it draws towards it, darkness. And all the pollution caused from its production. Like electricity. Is it itself bad, not really, is the way we make it and what we allow it to do to us bad, it can be, yes.
get diamonded
I'm too distracted to back read so I'm confused how you got here, but I also don't wanna make you explain because I'm not really paying attention to lore chat right now
Like, are y'all using canon or have y'all done a sick diving spin off interpretations?
It all started when we discovered the elder symbol. And then we noticed that the ancestors confused the elders with other things like power diamonds./j
canon yes, trying to figure out what a specific sumbol means. We are thinking it means elder
I know this is an incredibly odd leap but. if the ancestors were triangles Specifically because the weighted down shape at the bottom meant they couldn’t fly (concept srt stuff) and elders are diamonds does thst mean… they could fly??
okay but where in the 7 hells did 'sun revolutionary group' come from. (To factor into this specifically)
shields in wasteland and the two symbols on them. they seem be /have become like the symbols of two groups fighting against each other judging by the amount of weapons piercing them
You’re having a nice picnic in the isle of dawn with your family. The sun is shining beautifully, the birds are chirping. Everything is peaceful. THEN ISLE ELDER CRASHES DOWN FROM THE SKY RIGHT ONTO YOUR GARLIC BREAD!!!!!
Not the garlic bread! 
MY FRESHLY OVEN BAKED HOME MADE GARLIC BREEEEEAAAAADDDDD!!!!!!!!!
The garlic bread , nooo ! 
hear me out
- Cannoner spirit memoru shows them shooting elder sumbol
- they have sharp harpoon gun capable of cracking stone
- wasteland elder statue has a massive crack down the middle
discuss
Canoneer was the one who made all the elders enter their pocket dimensions.
something happened there and I would really like to know what it was
Canoneer: “WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM FOREST ELDER!!!! YOU’RE KILLING THE LIVES OF EVERYTHING WITH YOUR DIAMOND PRODUCTION!!!!!”with a harpoon gun
Forest Elder:”Oh honk no, my hammer ain’t gon get me outta this one!”poof
secret resistance perhaps? but why, then? hmmmmmmmmm
I don’t know if they could be trusted to keep a possible resistance secret tbh
After realizing the point of Eden is to die, I've got questions that have probably been answered here before about the point of Eden. After visiting Eden more and more, I keep having this lingering feeling that dying is not the way we're supposed to go, even though it is, in fact the way things must go. Why do we go there just to die? I know it is self sacrifice for the fallen children, but... why is needing to die necessary to "beat" the game? To me, dying feels like a loss, and reincarnation is just a way of the world or whatever supreme being there may be in Sky pitying us, and forcing us to do the same thing over and over again like there is supposed to be a way to save everyone and make it out alive.
wasteland elder also seems wounded in their cutscene
What's the megabird
to help the skykids who perished in the eye i think. we as a skid have always been selfless, giving away our light to the elders to help them restore their power, and whenever we see those children covered in eden’s bile, we just grit our teeth and do what we’ve always done: save them. even if it means certain death.
So, eden is meant to fit the theme of the final stage of life, death. We also have to shepherd the spirits to orbit and the only way to do get to orbit is through death. Also mega bird realized that you can’t survive through eden conditions woth the previous batch when the darkness event needed to end.
I keep getting the vibe (from Eden) that there’s something we ARE supposed to do in there, but we keep failing and dying anyways. It might be to return the light of every statue in there, but they’d also have to go up there for the same reason, and that would mean that they just went there to die, which doesn’t seem right.
I have nothing to prove it with (other than just me thinking it through) but it feels so weird for us, and the people were saving, to just continue returning to Eden for no real gain
cannoneer did you (honking) attack the wasteland elder is that why your crew needs resources. to escape /hj
Practically the god of the world the kingdom of Sky is in. Also our sky kid’s parent.
the crack down their statue might be implying/representatijg that which is a neat idea I didn’t think of b4…
So, my next question is what is the ascent to Orbit then? Is it Eden but completely saved by us?
heaven i assume! us getting reborn, and the megabird ushering us back into the world
Anyone find kt a bit morbid how every spirit we meet is just that? We relive the memories of those who passed on for to young, or in battle, or in horrific ways
Take the abyss crew for example, what happened to them? Shipwreck? Expedition gone wrong?
the concept of the entire abyss crew being on the run from the law isn’t something I would’ve guessed initially, but it somehow feels incredibly on brand
So, what does isle elder being the only elder with elder symbol on their statue mean? Does it mean they’ve remained true to life and the world and the other elders lost their purity?
Megabird is the so-called god of Sky, may or may not be analogous to the Light, a huge amalgamation of light and light beings in space, hardly seen in game aside from when descending from Orbit after the end credits (first image). the name Megabird comes from Tom Zhao's concept art (second image) who depicts Megabird as light itself.
Megabird sounds like a horrible parent.
it could be that Or it could be Eden in the past. It could even be what the eye of the storm looks like. It’s really hard to tell tbh
orbit is the peace before you have to candle run for the next ts
fun fact: the "eye" of a storm is usually the calmest point in the storm, like in hurricanes and and typhoons
oh for sure!! i think about this a lot. we see almost every spirit how they were happiest in life, but we come to that grim conclusion that no matter how happy they look, all these people are dead, killed by an outside force or the eden explosion
The eye of the storm kind of feels right but, if the diamond caused it, wouldn’t it be around there instead of somewhere completely different?
So then if the ascent to Orbit is heaven, what is Orbit when we reach there if it isn't heaven?
if you put aside the death part, I find pnr easier gameplay-wise than the krill zone 
And like what even was rhe cause for eden? Did the first skid to go through there know if they'd return? Eden is such an enigma
And the music in the Point of no return has very calm and sorrowful music.
I feel like there is so much more to eden but we just don’t know..
stop implementing child labor to clean up the apocalypse and just do it yourself ya smelly bird
i see eden as almost a tower of babel thing—something constructed by the king to show off how powerful and technologically advanced the people were, but it was always doomed to topple
but what is megabird gonna do with all the moth orphanages then? blow them up?
A "moth" is a new player. They have brown wings, they flap around uncontrollably, and they are drawn to flame!
Orbit may be analogous to heaven, but I don't consider it so. in game, Orbit is called "the Light." it may be where all light beings go who have ascended. it's certainly an afterlife of some sort.
give them expired coupons for new parents
Also, not to bring in religion to the lore but in Christianity, Eden was a beautiful place with no sin until Adam and Eve came along. Then it became corrupted. Is this kind of us relating to saving the Sky kids who have sinned?
What/who is Orbit?
The seasonal guides wish they didn’t have chores to do so they could go there. Except for belonging grandma, they come back by choice.
orbit is the blue place after Eden where you get all the fun candles
fun candles
And like reincarnation from what I remember is you will keep being reborn until you get it right. You are stuck in the cycle
We don't know the real purpose of us going into eden all we know is that it's a death march. So until then there is no afterlife but there is for the spirits we help guide. We are left behind to interact with the voices of the past as we remain immortal
This certainly explains why you see the spirits you've ascended though.
yeah
i see the ascent to orbit as where the spirits go after you free them from the realms, as that’s where you see them. orbit is where your ascended spirits go bc you’ve helped them move to a higher plane of spirit-ness
Still waiting for the day that we can go to where the spirits go. And I don't mean orbit or the purgatory spot
If there WAS sin, I think it would’ve been the kingdom who did it, not the skykids. you know the light beam we have to fly into to go up? the one we see everywhere on the horizon emerging from the diamond? there’s a prophecy mural that replaces that light beam (which was shown in a previous mural) with the giant diamond, implying that that red diamond we see was meant to sap the light from the beam and charge a ton of stuff. This is a great idea, considering it would never run out of light, until that diamond gets corrupted and your best way to the afterlife gets corrupted as well
We aren't exactly immortal, it's just a matter of reincarnation, but you're not wrong in the sense of what you're saying. We do die though.
I’m going to head out now. Kinda late.
BYYYEEEE!!!
Also after eden you fly up and you see some type of sky castle? What is it?
This I wonder too.
in Japanese, Eden is called "Original Sin"
here it is! You can see that structure on the mountain. It’s also in the isle temple mural of all the temple#, implying it’s Edens elder temple
that's the king's old castle I think?
Wonder what dictates the point of no return. Liie before that point we can go home and act as if nothing happened
Wonder if we will ever get to see the eden elder
we see him very Very briefly at the end of vault in a mural !!!
Eden had like some type of superior elder/temple over the other realms as you can see here
here’s the one with the light beam And Eden temple (top)
Wait what???
i bet someone here has a picture or i could speedrun vault to get one 🤸 thank u salem ily
OH THAT'S WHAT THAT IS
Doesn’t each realm have like some type of item or specialty that represented them?
ok but what ball is he holding 😭😭 oh my god Resh plays soccer new headcanon
What is it eating or offering?
So then when we die, on the ascent to Orbit, is the castle we're seeing the Eden elder temple that isn't corrupted by darkness anymore because of our sacrifice?
Ah thats who that was!
That is what I think, but it just doesn’t feel right for some reason-
It doesn't feel right to me either.
Man the lore really does take a backseat..that or im just too dumb
everything after our death in Eden is incredibly confusing and there's a lot of theories, similar and dissimilar from each other, about what's going on
I’m glad you mentioned that because it’s a really neat fun fact about the king mural. So, in each of these murals, the elders get a constellation over their bodies AND a separate one for their tool of choice. (The image overlay here is credited to my friend @white junco who did a great job on it) but for the king, interestingly enough, the “body” one is a crown constellation and the “tool” one is a constellation possibly representing the realms, seen here
I HAVVE THIS FEELING THAT YOU CAN DO SOMETHING ELSE INSTEAD OF JUST MAKING A SACRIFICE. IT IS JUST SO CONFUSING

Hey tha5 cr9wn is the one in our fr8end constellation
just to clarify, by body, are you referring to the realm constellation one? I'm a little lost there. also hi :)
maybe if we have an eden season we’ll finally get some answers about the eye and the king 
Hmmmm interesting
It's always that lingering feeling for me too. Also what I don't understand is why do we have to shepherd the spirits with us?
So eden might have been a superior realm, if it’s prop is a type of crown than it makes sense
Are we some kind of superior beings that were assigned a duty?
That entire… area… is hard to figure out what exactly it is, but. I am with you on not thinking we saved that area due to our sacrifice, because that implies it somehow got reset between each of our visits, which is incredibly weird. Not to mention we’d have to be super powerful to clean it up that well each time.
I know I keep mentioning it but I cannot shake the feeling with Eden that we’re there for a separate purpose besides saving the statues that we can’t quite fulfill yet
skykids seem to harness a greater power than the spirits (ex. can handle fire, has some sort of time manipulation, etc) and are being sent out by megabird soooo hmmmmm
I just thought of something, why were we the ones chosen to relive the spirits?
There used to be a thing called the Eden crown in the game, a day or so ago a person in #questions-and-help sent a picture of a hacker wearing it, it supposedly was never in the game, but was shown in gameplay clips by IGN.
we're saving the spirits and returning them to eden. Though you can have two interpretations with that. one is outside the gameplay loop and says that we do actually return the spirits. The other is that we can only really return fragments of their memories, so little by little we're building them back up in orbit. It's unclear whether we can fully restore the spirits and return them to the stars
We seem to be the only ones alive.
That is just disturbing
can you explain what you mean by time manipulation?
yea all the ancestors are dead. thought that was obvious given we're saving their spirits
Well, it's true when you really think about it. Spirits are people who are already dead.
We are made entirely of light, we are no ordinary humans or people.
yea!! it’s mostly just in the homespace, how we can manipulate the sky to turn from daytime to nighttime, and the fact that time passes naturally for us only in the homespace and nowhere else in the realms (save for sanctuary, but the chill sunbather controls time there)
basically because we’re the only ones who can! Everyone else is… uh… yeah. Out of the running for that duty. Those spirits are frozen in place due to darkness petrificatjon (basically the dark stuff that falls off when you lift a candle above their heads) and we have to free them and sheoherd them so it doesn’t happen all over again. The elders’ jobs is to ascend those spirits, so we take them there and boom. Job done.
I really like the questions you’re asking, sorry if I’m not explaining them well -tiredness
That’s why we are sent to also make the elders come back to life in some sort of way….
and also yes. everyone but us and maybe the elders is very very much dead and more than likely cannot be reborn like we can
Well I think we were meant to fix resh’s mistake, but at the moment we can’t do that right now for whatever reason.
We just relive their memories, I don’t know how that is bringing them back to life..proving your point
my two running guesses for what our ACTUAL goal in Eden is are
- destroy the diamond (makes sense. although how are these tiny children expected to do that? we don’t even have hammers)
- somehow save or free the king who is trapped there (up in the air currently whether this is even possible. they are “not able to be saved” but who knows if that’s a gameplay thing)
you free the spirits by using your light to chase the darkness around their petrified forms. after that, they go to Elder temples to ascend
So essentially, we eventually die too, and become a spirit but, if you notice something when viewing the friend constellation and viewing a friend, their spirit comes down onto their body, meaning we can call them within that place.
but you know who has a GUN? that’s right. we haul cannoneer all the way to eden,
oh I am so up for this.
and we SHOOT THE DIAMOND. with a NERF GUN.
interesting thing about eden, the statues you give wl to are referred to as shrines by some in-game text
looks at the diamond “ITS NERF OR NOTHING!”
Sky kids don't seem to have spirit forms, really. We are just orbs of light after death... and when we are in the limbo, we are just a glowing luminescent Sky kid.
Question about the tiny children in eden. Who are they exactly, are they former skids who weren't strong enough to get into orbit or something? Like when we lose our last wl we become one of them
the plot of Sky

The plot of Sky if we could take forest elder to Eden and let them smash the diamond to bits with their hammer
—
|
—
The diamond is like a prison for resh or something-
Shared memories don't count either as they are recordings of a Sky kid that was very much alive.
question is would Forest Elder survive the ascent to Eden and getting that close to the diamond?
I’m so glad you mentioned this because I have a solution. Clear Hamster ball. They are protected from darkness on all sides and can still move
eden has had some lovely updates over time, I love that a statue you've given wl to has yellow light inside
Makes it easier for me to see whoch I've already saved
That’s a cool idea
Unless you're on Switch like me, and you get far enough from them you can't see it anymore.
We are able to see that when you finish a constellation, you can see the elder of that constellation in the Orbit. It’s like they are able to travel wherever..
used to be worse. but that's a general theme with sky, some of the more basic quality of life features haven't actually been around that long 
or maybe i've just been here a while
I'm so glad you mentioned that because I see the Elders as interdimensional travelers – able to move from the Sky world to Orbit to their own little pocket dimensions whenever. or used to. for some reason, it seems their connection to the Sky world was severed and our light gives them enough strength to go to Orbit though nothing more
<— hampter
Mhm. The darkness probably took their ability to do that until we came and gave them light back probably
@keen shore new season just dropped
I believe they are any Sky kid, really. After your work is done, you become one of them too. I hypothesize that everyone only goes to orbit when their soul is freed by another sky kid. To you it may seem immediate, but it might actually be however long it takes another person to save you
something is telling me that this image doubles as a propehcy
prophecy guide possessed me, i blacked out and then this was on my ipad screen
putting the message link for this somewhere safe, just in case
please don’t spam emotes here like that needlessly, it clogs up the chat and prevents us from reading it easier
i need to draw my lore skykid-sona 
Guys what if there’s so much darkness around Eden because when the Eye (diamond) went haywire it started sucking in all the light for itself
probablu what happened yeah considering how darkstone works WAIT. I never connected the dots to the diamond being the Eye,…. I feel so dumb
mine is just a block of cheese at this point
If resh was trapped inside of the diamond/eye is it just consuming light because it wants to get out?
ok consider: what if the diamond isn't actually there anymore. I've always seen it as a hole in the clouds of the storm, but what if the diamond imploded, leaving its imprint for us to see, but no longer actually existing
the skykids we free after we hug the glowing child fly straight towards the diamond and disappear from view. Then, we cut to our character, flying through the clouds and into the ascension bit of eden. Suppose we flew through that instead
lore moths send me a picture of ur skykid loresona
i wanna draw us all together
I would but I think I qualify like a lore grandparent at this point
I have no perception of time
I have two...
most see me as afro skid anyways
lore skykids* my bad 
amander doesn’t know what lore is let’s be real. unless it’s how to beat up krill of something
Amander would come into lore chat asking for “embarrassing lore about Forest elder”
ayo what if that first kiddo we hug right before orbit who gives us our light back is the spirit of the king
Amander is angry because they know about lore and the lack thereof
this is what I look like
my creachure
I have started thinking this because. it would be near impossible to find evidence for it but i just really like the idea it makes me feel things,
would also imply that our Goal is to break them out
god same. he’s been reduced from a large imposing powerful figure down to the weakest individual: a child. he’s helpless, and he’s been sitting in this endless, empty black void for megabird know’s how long. he’s had time to reflect, to see the error of his ways, and all that he wants is that hug. and even when we offer it, he flinches; he isn’t sure if we’re genuine, or if we’re gonna fake him out. but he ends up collapsing into our arms, safe at last, like he’s known us all his life.
Yeah actually, it’s like we were trapped for some seconds inside with the kiddo or the ruler
if the king = Eden Elder and the Elders are trapped in their pocket dimensions, then the king is too and cannot leave, neither to the Sky world nor Orbit
can you guys tell that i’m starved of content to write about and i’m starting to write pseudo-fic about the eden elder 💀
same, a lot of my fanfiction is thought-out lore
me: hey where's the lore?
TGC: the game is open to interpretation :)
me, opening Google Docs: fine, I'll do it myself
sooner or later i'm gonna bite the bullet and just write full-on fanfic I've been dancing around the edges of it for a while now
i’ve had a fic idea for the eden elder beebopping around in my head for a while
I've already written one. just needs some editing and I would publish it
Maybe I will write a Sky short story. As a treat
The temptation to write a fanfic is strong. I just have no idea where on earth to start 
by sooner or later I mean tomorrow bc I can’t be on my computer any more tonight :/
beebopping
TIL a new word that's pretty neat
also a crumb for lore chat: this poem reminds me of eden and eden elder 
Oh I know that one. Had to memorize it in 11th grade and it drove me nuts lol
i swear i’ve seen this recently
it was making the rounds in the dsmp/mcyt fandom recently but i think that’s all i’ve seen it in 💀
Wait is this guy by chance related to Mary Shelley 
ok yeah Im not in that part of the internet, must’ve been school
maybe if i get bored and can’t sleep i’ll break it down line by line and connect it to eden 💀
Oop- do you mind if I dm you mine. I just saw this
i think this may be her husband?? i cant remember his name off the top of my head but i’m p sure it was percy lol
@rapid arrow go for it!!
My name is Ozymandias, king of kings;
Look on my works, ye Might, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
THATSLOTERALLY JUST EDEN ELDER am i Crazy
Nope you’re not crazy. Source material inspo perhaps?
excuse me WHAT
food
we can find all sorts of thematic links across media to Sky, doesn't mean that they inspired Sky. though it's fun seeing them
You’re right 
now i wanna draw something based on this poem
eden elder animatic pending
The great thing about stories is that we can have the same kinds of dynamics or character types but put them in all sorts of worlds and situations. I think it’s very human, that we continue to tell stories of characters that existed when stories were first being told 
Even one of the first ever recorded written stories, the epic of Gilgamesh, is a long story about man and beast learning to understand each other 
anyways lorechat it’s late and i gtg sleepies! gn ily <3
Fr I can't help but find it funny how there even is another game that has basically the exact same premise of Sky, giant bad diamond, krills and silent protagonist with cool cape included
The amount of funny coincidences across media are sometimes insane
are you thinking of Journey? also made by TGC. in fact, devs have called Sky the "spiritual successor" to Journey.
Tastey
No, Journey doesn't have a giant diamond lol
I wouldn't know, I've never played or watched a playthrough of Journey, but people come in here making the comparison a lot not knowing they're made by the same company
There’s the “to be or to not to be” from Hamlet. My personal favourite “Pale White Horse” from the oh hellos
The biggest similarities to Journey that Sky has are the premise of ancestor race screwed up and disappeared but they left behind all their mistakes including big shrimp-looking murder machines
Journey also has its own version of Elders and Eden
They are very similar but Sky definitely has more ‘story’ due to the amount of characters and customization. But the story structure of the hero’s journey is the same
wooly manta is here to remind lore chat to drink water!
Wooly Manta :D
Honk honk manta have you any wool?
Yes sir yes sir three bags full 
Okay but consider this: it isn't the king because if you use a spell to alter your height, the glowing child also matches your height as well.
My theory: it's our subconscious mind in the feat of death. We are simply telling our subconscious to get up, and accept that it's time to ascend.
I think it’s a winged light another skykid had given your petrified form. Being yours now, it conforms to you, hence why the lit up kid is always your height.
ok re: the symbols conversation, these two show up in the broken temple
I would argue that the second symbol is 100% the same symbol that cannoneer was shooting at
Greetings lore chat I need to sleep but have decided to come here instead 
I've heard a rumour that mods don't know what sneep snorp is because they're always here 
U certainly don't know what sneep snorp is
Funny that the symbol that cannoneer shoot is on pillars supporting the roof of the darkstone / refinement place of wastedland
if i understand correctly this place is like the forest temple
But is it like a generic target practice or is canoneer taking their anger out on a diamond
.... Cuz they could be mad at the diamond ppl
Could be a simple target too ! But also , this symbol , cristal line with a full diamond is painted in place like wastedland here , also forest temple or the door in treasure reef if i remember correctly
These diamond symbols drive me nuts lol
Same
i should take all these symbols in pictures one day and see how it go
Sorry for the ping but i have to ask. is your icon the oogie from spore creatures.
Omw I gotta stop staying up at ungodly hours lol goodnight lore chat 
What does wing light wedges on granny and the others cape mean?
What differrntiate them? Performance only have one and granny had 5...?
Granny. is. older ^^. /j
I noticed any season guide that has a cape has this same thing.
5 stars and the 1st is lit up (unless I am mistaken).
Perhaps since they are the guide, they have the stars to signify a higher rank?
I should compare guides' stars to the amount of spirits they have in their season. In case it is linked to how many spirits there are in their season (ex. 4 spirits = 4 stars and 6 spirits =5/6 stars. Or if all of them just has 5)
Just to list the guides with capes here:
Belonging - Granny
Sanctuary - Manta Cape Guide
Dreams - possibly the Skatergirl
Assembly - Scout Troop Guide
Little Prince - possibly the Little Prince
Abyss - Navigator Guide
Note the skater girl and little prince may or may not count as they are not the guide giving out the quests, yet are the focus of their respective seasons.
What if capes are made from manta wool/fur
The ancestor ones, possibly.
Though it is not certain.
I'm pretty sure they aren't…
But how much of it is confirmed and how much is speculative, I'm not sure
oh my word, the bundle of 1's and 0's has a point.
Fine, I will give you that.
Suppose their devices are just always logged in and online, and their statuses are not set to change when offline.
Some of the staff are in this case, though folks like Ash, Nat, and Ktjn seem to be the ones that hardly move down to the offline list.
For the lurkers on the channel, out of interest.
Would you say the flying statue fish can exist in the world of Sky?
Given that we haven't seen a lot of flying statue creatures in game, I'm tempted to say no…
But I'm sure there's a piece of the puzzle we're missing!
I believe it DID exist and that could probably be the bones around the maps (GW and Forest), the bones seem large enough to me
Maybe these flying machines ( as i believe) were constructed out of whale bones as a base and stone style stuff on top 👀
Does anyone have any lore in season of dreams?
Spirits can make cameo appearances in the season.
The ski lift boats show that boats do not need fins if they can be guided by the posts.
The colour red and blue have remained inconsistent to which side represents which colour.
The coliseum has been shown to host events that include the ancestors, and not just elders.
The season opened up the lower side of the valley kingdom that contrasts the glistening citadel.
👁👄👁
Those are very good lore
Interesting, thank you for the response.
Let's think things over for a minute.
Looking to Journey for inspiration, there are some similarities between the games' settings and plot style. However, there are key differences to keep in mind for Sky being a game that maintains the fact that it does not particularly follow the Hero's Journey, and the focus of the game includes interacting with other players along with environmental story telling.
The creatures in Journey are either representative of the living creatures that used to live in sky, or are spiritual creations that has always been there. While the Stone serpents are 'man made' creations that take inspiration from the cloth creatures; particularly the cloth dragon/whale.
Going by the game file name for the creatures, the Guardians are the flying stone serpent like creatures that patrol in a set pattern, and if one spots a cloth creature, the light goes from white to red and then charges (or dives down) at the creature; stealing the light from them.
In Journey, it is implied that the Guardians are similar to a large cloth creature called Cloth Guardians. These can be seen in the Tower, and in Apotheosis. This is due to the similar body shape (long slender body with fins on the side), despite the different head shapes and behaviour (the cloth guardians tend to twist and fly sideways at times; while a guardian tends to remain level and rarely twist unless when going in a tight turn).
Back to Sky's concept art.
My interpretation and understanding of the concept art for these images of the stone creatures are they could have been vendors for cosmetics.
Seeing they are not in the game, it could be either that they are cut from the game due to limitations or not fitting the scene.
I believe these would be in Valley, and used in performances and marketing.
I just hope TGC does consider adding them in the future.
Possibly as a creation from the ancestors, and can either be a neutral or hostile creature.
If they are then I will never wear fur capes again
Its times like these when Raider is in brain cell mode-
That is because I have a fresh mind, a cup of coffee and low key procrastinating at this time. XD
Smart
Help i need some low-key procrastination- /j dont waste your brain cells here
To separate the tangents about the guardians and cloth guardian in Journey compared to the krill (Dark Draogns) in Sky; and the stone creatures.
The stone creatures were a cut concept that may have been a precursor to how corruption affected the light creatures in Sky. As a personal analysis of the concept art, I propose that at one point in the game's concept phase that hypothetically, there could have been stone creatures that have become corrupted. Perhaps the devs thought about how the creatures being made of stone, the players might not emotionally bond to them and moved to including more natural creatures to make the corruption element more impactful to the story.
As for the cloth guardian vs stone guardian from Journey.
I will compare the games iconic scenes. One is the ascension section in Journey, where the wayfarer (the player) is flying through a storm with several guardians and once they break through the light barrier, the guardians transform into cloth guardians.
The other is particularly the concept art for Sky's ascension sequence that was cut from the live game. Even if this is cut content, I would still consider look at them to see where the game was heading towards at the time, seeing that Sky is a spiritual successor of Journey.
The ascension concept art is a bit vague, so I will provide context.
The image shows the skykid fly through the clouds with glowing eel like creatures alongside them. These creatures have appeared in the game before. The 'eel,' as there is not official name for them that I know of, is a large and slender bodied light creature with a rounded head, a flayed tail and a 4 pairs of fins that seemingly float off the body.
In Light Awaits, the creature can be briefly spotted in the clouds in Dawn, though that sequence has been changed. In the concept art, the creature seems to have been used to foreshadow the end of the game, as it follows the skykid from a distance to Eden.
i’m having so fun reading these
[continued]
I like to think seeing the creature ends up in Eden, and the realm is known to have corrupted a particular creature called Dark Dragons.
I would want to call this eel like creature a Light Dragon.
Partly because of the implications from the concept art, and on the similar body shapes, despite the different looking heads.
Though since this is just the concept art, and the creatures has been replaced by the whale
, I may have to wait and find out.
For those who would like to know, the creature, also called the marble eel in this channel, can be seen in the game.
It is though much smaller than what it used to be and seems to either just exist as a reference to the past, or as a creature the skykid can just encounter in the game.
It can be found in the waters of Treasure Reef, swimming through the ruins and leaving a trail of blue bubbles in its wake.
😄 It is a bit late to turn away from the lore now.
You can get the skykid out of the sky, but never the sky out of the skykid.
I would never leave lorechat- even if i never understand it ^^. Because reddit was worse 💜
Forgot to add the image in question.
This was cropped from the color script.
‘wOo’
The picture the manta equivalent of a pigeon ‘coo’
I wonder what the devs think about Wooly Manta
I like to think they’re as much in awe of the adorableness as we are
can wooly manta be used as a pillow?
can wooly manta be shaved
I wish wooly mantas are real
Same
Oh I never showed you fluffy manta I made everyone hold onto your hats
really takin its time to send
Dang its really taking a while
File size is too big?
Maybe
Not too big the manta is just resisting
Check if your wifi.
fluffy manta why
Temporary solution?
fluffy manta too fluffy for discord to handle
Discord is quaking in its boots
What if woolly mantas are like sheep?
Awww
how can wooly mantas fly?
are they so fluffy that they just float?
Yes
It's funny cos I heard Salem musing about combing wooly mantas to give them funny haircuts when racing, so perhaps people that shear them have some fun giving them wooly mohawks 
They’re fluffy because they’re made of clouds and love 
This makes absolutely perfect sense
I’m gonna try sending it again but basically:
Fluffy manta is still in the sketch phase cause I’ve been drawing mantas and birds off of real bird species
The one I’m trying to send is based off a mocking bird… but fluffier 
When it’s colored I’m gonna give it the color patterns of the bird too
Speaking of which, if mantas and birds had a variety in species, the way different birds have different beak shapes, sizes, different colors or sizes
What do you think they’d look like in the different realms?
Imma have to draw that to explain.
Hummingbirds in prairie—
I like to think there would be swallows and swifts in Valley ! Fits the speedy pace and more vertical axis of the realm, especially the Citadel.
Sparrows or seagulls isle
The birds at the entrance of the Treasure Reef (Abyss seasonal area) make seagull noises !
Crows in forest because I think forest elder would be the most annoyed by them and I love it
Grandma trained them to steal shiny objects in return for food—
Vultures gw
Sparrows in Prairie because it probably used to be full of silos and granaries...
Vault has messager blue pigions (real bird)
There's probably no birds in vault, but I like to think both it and the isle would have doves since they nest in any vaguely cliff-like structures
Oooh where would have the most hawks and eagles? Valley?
I bet the spirits would keep birds as pets.
Maybe in mines in other places they would use the method of bringing a bird down there
sad method
In the valley ice rink (where the split between the citadel and the sliding race is), you can hear hawk sounds !
Doves and pigions are the same thing though.
Yeah we just sent our messages at roughly the same time.
Oh yeah!! I forgot the hawk sounds!!
…
You think anyone has chickens-
Sanctuary prairie
Don't take my word for it but I think miners in fact tried to keep the canary healthy or even revive it if it fainted ! Don't underestimate how much people can care about animals 
Awwww
Flight has white pigions and albatrosses
Albatrosses ? I've never seen a bird model with such a typical silhouette in this game 
Yes, its a sea bird but it just somehow makes sense.
Yeah I know what an albatros is. Thought you meant you saw one in-game.
I NEED
I headcanon a huge majority of light creatures migrate, it would make so much sense for birds like swallows, albatros and other migratory species to be in this world !
Absolutely! That makes sense and sounds funny.
I draw y’all’s birds with the sky twist on them later 
I’ll draw the mantas later, wolly mantas.
Yess wooly manta!
Pretty sure that they got out the second the bird stopped singing which meant it likely could be saved
Or immediately after it stopped
I need a seahorse in sky. That’d be a fun addition

I’ve been thinking that the Wind Paths (at least in part) were created to help migrating light creatures avoid dangerous places in the realms
Do you think that would have anything to do with making power diamonds? Like, transporting light creatures around the kingdom to better supply the light that needs to be put into the power diamonds to activate them?
Nah. Someone said they think a lot of light creatures migrate so maybe it’s helping with migrational patterns
Personally, I don’t think it’s even meant for people. Although spirits could use the kind of boats we’ve seen I don’t think its that common. They don’t seem to be meant for ideal travel for the ancestors and really aimed towards the creatures themselves to freely use
Even the ancestors who do travel need the help of mantas to pull the boats
Not to mention light whisperer. They’ve been mentioned to nurture mantas and have been seen helping injured creatures. It isn’t meant for anything harmful to them and seems more like a restoration or preservation type of project from the flight crew
I wonder if the light creatures are more reliant on echolocation, maybe that’s why the chimes/bells are so important 
I’m sure following the wind is also part of it but still
Coming to think of it, in sanctuary islands you could see that after you finish the quest a group of light creatures comes out of the water or the clouds because of the chimes/bells
It was mentioned somewhere bells attract light creatures but chimes guide them
It’s interesting that it takes three whole bell towers to get the attention of the big mantas
Plus, what guides them up to the temple?… I forget if there’s a bell up there that maybe just attracts them after the skid hops on
I doubt Day’s apprentice would exploit light creatures
Flight guide would bite anyone who tried to hurt light creatures
So would light whisper
Krill: 
Flight Guide: seriously? In front of my salad?!
it's not exploitation, just gentle guidance
Being experimented on in a lab is not gentle guidance lol
....i meant the bells in prairie hahaha
Ooh, theory time:
Flight probably learned a lot about caring for light creatures from Day. I’ve been wondering how Prairie spirits ended up in Forest, but maybe that’s the reason. Day knew that Rain was making tons of power diamonds, so they sent Flight to protect the creatures from Rain. The only entrance to and from the Wind Paths and Forest is in the green caves. It’s a complicated, roundabout route protected by stone on all sides, a cloud chasm, gates, and a locking platform that leads to a drop off. At the end of the drop off, you still have to scale a ginormous wall to get access to the caves, which are bustling with migrating birds and butterflies and jellies. It kinda seems like someone didn’t want the creatures to have to go through Forest. The chimes and bells could attract the migrating creatures out of harm’s way so they didn’t end up becoming some of Rain’s diamond exports
chimesmith spirit card 👀
That’s the cutest thing I’ve ever heard about the windpath entrance deeper in forest ;-;
If light creatures only respond to specific tones… and light creatures respond to skids
Do we already speak in the natural tones???
skykids are closer to the Light than the ancestors were, so I’d think so!
Chimesmith, who just spent hours on ONE perfect chime that some birds respond to:
A skid honking and immediately summoning a massive manta, some smaller ones, one hundred birds, tens of jellyfish, and a crab:
Chimesmith: 
chimesmith figuring out how to make chimes that attract skykids
Guide: “We’ll don’t panic!”
Chimesmith: “ Im panicking cause I’m gonna lose my job
“
All they need to do is say “look a new cosmetic over here” and they’d all come DIVING in
Chimesmith making chimes into a xylophone so they can attract skids and light creatures all at the same time
sanctuary bells
Aw, or make it sound like the big call skids do when they need another person to open a door or help them
skykid bells would probably mimick a moth call
Curious sky kids approaching chimesmith sounds like the cutest thing ever
Or perhaps the Isle temple bells since the line for the Isle of Dawn says to “follow the temple bell”
Wait where is chimesmith guiding the skids with those chimes—
aren’t isle and prairie the only temples with the bells?
While not on the temple itself, there are bells on the bridge points below the Forest temple that summon jellyfish
in the switch trailer we see the light creature riders travel through a desert and then enter the green part of isle. there are bells seen in the desert. maybe those ones were for both light creatures and travelers
Chimesmith: for bumping into several mantas, scaring all the birds, and dislodging several creatures from their flight paths, pulls out several chimes for attracting skids
You’re sentenced to ding dong detention
Chimesmith and Builder showing the skids how to use bells and chimes, Whisperer taking care of the skids who get too excited about flying and crash a lot, Navigator just being the cool uncle and showing off with aerial stunts, and Flight teaching all the cute little moths about the value of light creatures and the importance of taking care of them 
Unfortunately the many chibis in ding dong detention just phase out
Navigator trying to guide the skids through paths that don’t interrupt the creatures,.. to their dismay the skids are still stolen by mantas everytime
Did you know the manta that guides the boat steals you sometimes?! Abandons boat and Yeets you?!
It happened to me and I’m still traumatized 
light whisperer occasionally has to send mantas to rescue skykids who get stuck in the wind streams and can’t get out
Also there’s a ‘cutscene cloud’ in the wind paths as I call it
You fly into it and you get a small cutscene where your skid is spiraling up the cloud (camera movement, can’t see skid in the cloud)
And then they burst out like you’ve boosted
There’s also a deep pit into the abyss below that you can sit by as a chat spot… if you stand up you just descend
I feel like skids would get a Pat on the head like they’re a manta from the flight crew-
“strange looking bird creature” pat pat
Flight crew minding their business when the first skid stumbles into the Wind Paths and they all gather around like “what is this small, honking creature?”
talented builder holding up a skid by the armpits like a cat
I picture the confused whispers of “a light creature?? It’s glowing”
“It’s got wings maybe it’s a weird manta”
“Looks like a child”
”children don’t fly”
“Came in the wind paths it’s gotta be a species of jellyfish”
Talented Builder: hey LW, you know what this is?
Moth: (honk)
Light Whisperer: uh, it glows, it has wings, it honks… I think it’s a weird bird.
Skid Honks for the first time and they all scream and jump back—
Stolen by a manta
“Ah, must be its mother”
light whisperer, kneeling down: what are you 
skid: honk
steals cape
What’s interesting though is the beginning of the season says something like “they’ve been waiting for someone like you, someone who can fly”
Does that imply the guide knew of skids and that they’d come one day?
i know there’s a line about the guide waiting for a long time, i’d have to go back and check
Light whisperer: I think we discovered a new species. Im calling it the Honk for now. I wonder what this means!
Moth’s veteran friend: (comes to pick moth up, holds hand and flies away)


Light whisperer: … WHAT THE-
“It has variants in its species!!”
Imagine a spirit who hasn't seen a skid in a long time due to how secluded they are because of where they live, just opens their door and see a trio of skids of different heights and different personalities and just chaos
They would assume all skids of certain heights act certain ways all because of those three and it's just wholesomely scary
Flight crew would adopt a skid as their mascot
Yeti: (hears noises outside his cave)
Yeti: (gets up and looks outside)

🚪
Straight up truth
A SKID USES THE HEIGHT SPELL THAT MAKES THEM ADULT SIZED TO INTERACT WITH SPIRITS—
All of them, who know of skids, horrified: “they have parents??? Who is this??? Where’d they come from??”
Skid uses a baby spell and demands uppies from the nearest spirit
some of the less popular spirits have one or two skykids that visit them often, and then one day they end up on the dailies. Chaos ensues
Pleaful parent is just spiteful no one visits them so they send skids into the krill zone
pleaful parent ily but your memory is hell
Ancestors/spirits attempting to search for skids. Full on journey around different realms to interact with them
Like grandma at the belonging table
pleaful parent probably has some visitors, I fully believe that every spirit is someone’s favorite
Also Pleaful is right next to the idle wax campfire

So Um, about bells and creatures. Now I haven’t been in the wasteland often but when I have I’ve noticed. Is that in the broken temple area the krill seems to be summoned by a bell noise
(if anyone here has a favorite spirit please share I’m working on a spreadsheet)
They hang out at the campfire to make skid friends cause they know no one will come visit otherwise ;-;
I really love butterfly charmer 
Is vault the only elder that doesn’t take the light we return to their temple from us?
All the others grab it besides them I’m pretty sure
do you mean they don’t take the light for themselves, or that we give it to them first?
As in, we use it on the vault object thing
They don’t touch it at all
The others grab it and use it
or throw it into the sky 
you’re right! The specific track is Waves of Disquiet
Do you think like how bells attract light creatures it repels or angers dark creatures?..
off the top of my head, the only elders who snatch the light from us are forest and valley elders. everyone else is offered the light. Though in Isle, I believe the light is in the candle rather than our hands, and prairie elder is the only one to work with the light with their hands instead of a tool
Maybe the sound is familiar to them, but they don’t have the means to understand it. They just react to it on instinct
I wish I was better at recognizing the sky OST tracks, there’s one called “A Bell-Ringer” and I can’t place where we hear it
Ooh. Me and my friend are going to do a challenge playing the sky ost tracks and trying to recognize where they play
godspeed
I have such a hard time because of all the leitmotifs 
so far I can only reliably recognize An Upwards Dance, Waltzing in the Rain, A Portentous Walk, and Somersault. and probably Waves of Disquiet now too
Nice!
I know most of the vault music
and little prince
I know the wind paths. I like the sounds there.
Ay did you know the paths are a wax spot??? This time going at full velocity instead of being idle
one of my favorites is In the Middle of a Dream but I can’t really place it? I’m guessing it’s the dreams final quest tho. it’s been a while but i think that’s right
I love the dreams music
wait I just realized it has dream in the name. oh that title makes a lot of sense. I was just going off of vibes
in the middle of a dream… when the skater is finally performing in the coliseum… man
If sky kids doodled what do you think they’d draw?
Like how kids lean towards animals and stuff
Would they have little drawings of mantas and birds?
“What is this large honk, is it a subspecies?” (adult sized skids are still smaller than most spirits)
I’m pretty sure it’s in the main village area of prairie, before any of the bell towers are lit
Two adult sized skids in a trench coat approach-
Even still, it can’t compare to the Overture track that plays in the New Year event. It’s in Volume 3. It’s amazing!
ok lore chat what do we think king is holding??
god. hearing this at 3 am was an experience
Giant Light orb from the new bloom table
Nom nom
i’m makin the storyboard for the ozymandias eden animatic and i have no idea what to make this Mystery Ball
maybe the king stole porters very heavy orb
GiAnt liGht Orb NoM nOm
i’m leaning towards light orb yeah. but i wonder if it has like lore purposes 
i still have no idea what this is
