Round 1: Rylie VS Indigo

Propaganda:

We only see Rylie kick butt when assisted by magic

Indigo has had a rougher time he's definitely been in a few fights

Indigo would get weird about hitting a girl

Rylie gets to keep her crutches. Long range weapons.

AU version of a character from a comic that I adore. :3

Gloomverse my Beloved 🩷

I'm rereading and hyperfixating on Gloomverse right now...

and let's just say I'm on a gloomverse art spree gah! 😩

So here's some recent peices I've made/ am working on cuz it's literally taking over my brain:

(alt bg)

[gloomverse-theories]

How old is Indigo?

Yep, we're doing this.

So what do we know about Indigo's life? Well actually quite a lot! Thanks to Ylil, we got to learn a lot about this guy's life.

Firstly, Indigo is definitely over 18, I think we can all agree the manchild is indeed an adult. I'm not going to need proof to convince you all of that fact, hopefully.

Indigo spent his childhood in Stratoverse, specifically on the land of awareness. There, he was taught all about clouds and weather, until he eventually got magic.

He left right after getting magic, or at least it's implied that he did, as turning Indigo drove him over the edge and really affected his self worth, possibly due to increased bullying. He even says it outright that being Indigo was a reason for "being laughed out of [his] own country"

So he left after getting magic! Which should be around 12 years old, probably ranging from 10 to 15. Stratoversian being more powerful in general, and Indigo not being shown as weaker than average, we can deduce that he got his magic at around that age, and not later. He may just have left without magic and died at sea if he hadn't got his magic at the same time as his peers.

Alright, that's great and all, but for now all I've established is that Indigo left Stratoverse as a young teen and is now older than 18 in gloomverse. How is that theorizing about his age?? Is what you may ask.

Worry not, dear reader, for I have just the thing:

Queen Virga of Stratoverse, current strongest magician in the world.

How does she relate to Indigo you ask? Well...

Indigo doesn't recognize her.

That's pretty telling actually. And given Indigo's track record, it seems improbable that he is feinging ignorance to seems inconspicuous. Possible, but not probable. So the rest of that theory lays on Indigo being too dumb to pretend to be dumb.

Anyway

Why is it important that Indigo doesn't recognize her? Well as a stratoversian, Indigo was given classes about Stratoverse and weather. Since the country relies on brainwashing the kids to love their country and clouds, knowing WHO the (current) queen is and what she looks like sounds important. I know Indigo right now isn't a model student, but in the past he just might have been! He tried hard to belong, and the stuff you learn as a kid isn't so easily washed away.

Hence this: Virga wasn't the queen at the time that Indigo lived in Stratoverse.

That's cool and all, but now we have the same problem as with Indigo: How old is Virga???

Well, she's actually easier to figure out.

I'm going to assume Stratoverse/Yellow is reasonable enough not to let children be in charge, and that a person needs to be 18 or older to fight for the royalty's titles.

I mean, the last time they did, bad things happened...

Prisma was considered to all, as a respectable, and beautiful magician, and she took the job at a surprisingly young age. The exact age is unknown, except that she was 'nearly an adult' when she came into power.

So, Virga is older than 18. yay

But she has been in office for quite some time now! At the very least three years if the world leaders' meeting is every year. More if it's espaced of two, three, etc, years. Since the conference takes a couple of weeks, it would make sense if it wasn't yearly.

Cirrus, having no reason to be present unless it's a former meeting, punched prez during a conference. Virga mentions it was forever ago, which could be just smack talk, or hint that it wasn't even during the last conference. Nim is a "better choice than the last", so she wasn't there at the previous conference, and the last princess was 'chosen' by Virga, aka came into the position while Virga was already queen.

She's at least 21 if the conference is every year and she became queen at 18. That's the lowest age possible for her.

But Virga has very strong mommy energy, as seen here:

I'm not saying those children are her own, but she definitely watched them grow up, so we can add a +10 years to her counter. 28 years old as a bare minimum.

Alright! It's safe to say Virga is at least 28 years old, in the best case scenario. In a more realistic one, she would have took the princess title at 20 and the queen title a bit later, she seems to be quite experienced too, so let's say she's in her middle-end thirties.

However there's a very important piece of information I haven't considered yet...

Stratoversian can live older than average, and look fresh even in old age (just look at the king who's supposedly at least 80 years old!!). So despite looking rather young, Virga could actually be in her 60s and we would have no idea.

Back to Indigo! Comparing him to Virga leaves us a couple options!

Indigo is the same age as Virga

I'll consider "same age" with a 2 years margin.

While it adds Angst to think Virga was one of his bullies, I think it's more likely that they never met each other. Stratoverse is still a big country, it's unlikely everyone knows everyone (Nim and Cirrus didn't know each other as children for example). Being the same age as Virga, Indigo's age is ranging from 26 to 40.

Indigo is older than Virga

Oh man, he's old in that case... Older than 30 at the VERY LEAST! Because Virga being 28 is the best possible scenario.

Indigo is younger than Virga

This one is actually very interesting... Because it means Virga wasn't queen when Indigo was still in stratoverse. If she took the throne at 18 and Indigo left at 12.... Then their age gap can only be 6 years. Otherwise, Virga would be queen before Indigo leaves. Of course, the later Virga takes the throne, the larger the age gap can be. Taking the throne at 24 means Indigo can be 12 years younger, and so and so....

So in this scenario, Indigo's age remain unclear.... Yet this is the most likely scenario.

It really all depends on Virga's age tho... The best guess for her age being late thirties, I think it's safe to assume — after everything I've presented you — that Indigo himself is in his early thirties.

TL;DR: Indigo is at least 30 yo and this post has been in my drafts for almost 2 years now.

Indigo: By the way, I forgot to ask... date tomorrow?

Ylil: It’s the 21st tomorrow.

give me ALL THE COLORS (or just indigo idk)

ohh gosh thats a lot of people

im gonna choose some of my favs

Indigo

First impression: Thought he was going to become one of those cool and smart bad guys, likr very cunning. Then he opened his mouth

Impression now: I think he's so funny, def not the smartest in everyday life but he does have his genius moments

Favorite moment: When we finally saw his eyes i cant believe hes a prettyboy

Idea for a story: AU where he gets found out from stratoversian authority and has to deal with That.

Unpopular opinion: I actually like his clothes and drawing them, even if theyre objectively horrible XD

Favorite relationship: he annoys the HECK out of prez and im all for it. funniest thing

Favorite headcanon: (connected to the story idea) that he had perhaps a pretty important family so he was expected to fight his way to power - but instead he ran away.

Green

First impression: funny, morally-grey loner, would like more lore

Impression now: funny, morally-grey loner, would like more lore

Favorite moment: making fun of xela

Idea for a story: encountering prisma and finding out that perhaps it wasnt what they expected....

Unpopular opinion: I dont think i have a particular one!

Favorite relationship: Grolange 👀

Favorite headcanon: back in ecoverse they used to be VERY religious but becoming a color (and perhaps prisma influence) radically changed their view of life. dont know what it really is tho

Yellow (there is no yellow text color)

First impression: Gentle, motherly type; like a kind, old sage

Impression now: i still think she's the motherly type but also that she's a lil egocentric even when she tries to do good

Idea for a story: meeting all the past colors y_y perhaps timetravel story or universe hopping

Favorite moment: "if you see this girl... kill her" girlboss moement

Unpopular opinion: i dont know if it's unpopular but i reckon age and trauma has made her more vindicative

Favorite relationship: YellowxVirga YellowPrisma

Favorite headcanon: Bald

[thebluesource]

Good thing there's a glass panel between them, right?

[kkmcshouty]

As many may know, once again this year I participated in a Gloomverse based artfight, and this is one of the images from that!

I was playing around with a piece of opal and had an idea so that's how this image came about! Not exactly a fancy way to come up with something but inspiration strikes when it wants to haha

Timelapse and a pic with the individual colors is under the cut!
