My personal headcanons:
Before the Pale King, the Radiance was not a malicious being. She was a little distant and had a bit of an intimidating aura to her, but she was never cruel and heartless.
(Saw this headcanon from someone else, I wish I could remember who it was Dx) The Radiance, like the other Higher Beings, once had a “mortal” form. The Pale King was the one who robbed her of it, beginning her sheer hatred for him and those who worshiped him.
It was once her own people forgot about her and began worshiping the Pale King that her true “villain arc” began. She had snapped with rage and created the infection to enact her vengeance against the kingdom that turned its back on her.
After so many centuries of feeling this hatred for the Pale King/his worshipers, she eventually lost herself completely to her madness.
The infected do not attack anyone who willingly worships her. It is the reason the Resting Grounds (or at least the “above ground” section of it) has no infected beings—because the Seer, her last priest, resides there.
And one (kinda but not really) related headcanon:
The Radiance does not see Nightmare King Grimm as an enemy. Partly because he also holds disdain for the Pale King, but also because the Radiance sees him as the Yin to her Yang. After all, people can’t truly appreciate a dream until they’ve experienced a nightmare.
Could anyone share their opinions/theories/headcanons about the Pale King, the Radiance, and their feud?
Take a wild guess as to which Zelda enemy I hate the most XD
This probably has to be one of my most infamous moments in my streaming history. It never matters what game it is, redeads are AWFUL!
Time for some new artwork~! I’ve been working on a group collaboration for @the0wlchemist ‘s group project: A tarot card deck full of all of our OCs! These are the six that I’ve made so far.
The first two characters are @the0wlchemist ‘s OCs Polaris and Void for the Star and Death cards respectively. The other four are my own OCs. Delilah as the Empress (an OC for Crescent’s world), and my Zelda OCs for the minor arcana: Kova as the Five of Swords, Sukari as the Six of Swords, and Konda as the Ten of Wands.
So I’ve got a RP blog for the Conductor, and in order to develop his character I had to give him a wife. ‘Cause, ya know, those babies had to come from somewhere. Now that I’ve made her and have been thinking about the relationship they would have had I just... can’t stop thinking about it shdjkfhlskfs
So enjoy my doodles and sketches of an owl couple being uber adorable together~ Because YES.
Her name is Scarlet, btw~
When the depression hits hard and you gotta draw your OTP with their lovechild to make you feel better.
Anyway, have some quirrelmon with Qi, my lovechild for them
Mitama Yakumo in the flesh, here to enhance your Soul Gem as any good Coordinator should~!
Man, Magia Record helped me get through some tough times. I discovered it during the height of the pandemic and it honestly helped me get through a lot of it. Nothing will be more iconic to me than being greeted by Mitama and the stain glass window behind her as you pulled for magical girls.
Okay, so truth be told, I drew this a very long time ago for a zine project that has seemingly just... disappeared off the face of the earth. So apologies that this is such a belated farewell to the game. I really do hope that she, as well as so many others from Magia Record, make a return in Magia Exedra. I'd love to see my Coordinator gal join the fray once more!
Monomon is the “Queen” of the jellyfish creatures that inhabit the Fog Canyon, but not in the traditional sense. She does not have a monarchy that she governs—She is the “Queen” that her “hive” serves and protects.
Like normal jellyfish, the oomas and uomas are like a bundles of nerves. They cannot see or hear, but they react to changing stimuli in the environment. The only one among them able to think independently, to see and hear the world around them: their queen, Monomon.
Before the rise of the Pale King, Monomon was incapable of higher thought. However, she was clearly more intelligent than the primal beasts that roamed the depths. She had a very strong sense of curiosity, which the King learned when he’d found a hidden stash of tomes and journals in her possession. Inspired by her desire to learn, he granted her higher thoughts along with the other bugs of Hallownest.
With her mind expanded, Monomon began to learn as much as she could about the world around her, including the nature of her jellies. She knew that they would respond to her mental state, but she didn’t know the specifics. There was clearly a pattern they would follow depending on her emotional state:
When she was happy or excited, they would gravitate to her and cling to anything around her. Her theory was that they wished to partake in whatever was causing her joy.
When she was upset, they would grab anything around them and bring it to her. She believed they are trying to cheer her up by presenting her with gifts.
When she is scared/angry, they turn hostile and attack anything that draws near. This seems to be a primal instinct to protect the queen when she senses danger.
It wasn’t until she took on her apprentice, Quirrel, that she was able to learn more about their behaviors. Since they behaved in response to her, there was no way for her to see how they reacted without her presence. But with Quirrel able to study them away from Monomon, he learned that the strength of the reactions that the jellies had was entirely dependent on their distance from Monomon. The further they were from her, the weaker their reaction. This has led Monomon to believe that she is unknowingly emitting pheromones out into the environment that they are sensing and responding to.
With this knowledge in hand, Monomon began an experiment to see if she could teach any of the jellies to ignore her pull or think somewhat independently of her. This would eventually lead to the creation of Uumuu—a being that was created solely for security purposes. It would be able to ignore her pulls so that it could remain vigilant, and had been taught to identify threats without Monomon having to identify them as such beforehand.
When Monomon became a Dreamer and was sealed away, it turned the Oomas/Uomas completely docile. Without their queen to guide them, they merely drift aimlessly, awaiting the call of their queen once more. The only exception: Uumuu, who still spends their days guarding the sleeping Monomon from any intruders who dare try to wake her. But with the infection slowly overcoming it, and without Monomon’s guiding tentacle, Uumuu has lost the capability to differentiate friend and foe. Even in the presence of a familiar face, it can only follow what it was trained to do:
Protect Monomon at all cost.
I have no excuse other than this popped into my head and wouldn't leave until I drew it shdjkfls
I had a random Bug Fables dream the other day where Team Snakemouth (Leif in particular) was being pursued by this shapeshifting creature that was taking their forms to attack them. None of them knew why it was coming after them until they were running away and ran into another moth. Outside of having a white shell and being older (physically speaking), the moth looked nearly identical to Leif. That’s when the team realized the shapeshifter was after THIS guy, and it had mistaken Leif for being him.
Also random moth dude ended up being the leader of an entire moth clan that Team Snakemouth decided to help after that encounter.
Maybe one day I’ll doodle this, but for now enjoy the cool dream I had (or at least, the part of it that made sense, lol)
“Alright, ‘darling.’ I’m only going to say this one more time, and I want you to listen very carefully…”
When you can take my little anime nerd and turn her into a badass mad scientist with a robot slave, you know you did a good <3
The risk was calculated, but MAN am I bad at math!
This Pokemon stream has definitely been quite the adventure. With me not knowing much Pokemon alongside my innate wanderlust, it's a wonder I haven't been knocked out more than once during my gameplay.
Guess who has returned from the grave and become a V-Tuber
