youve heard of moths as iterators

now get ready for: Dreamers as iterators

feel free to use designs (with credit ofc)

what do you think their Iterator names should be?

w/o veils and AU thoughts under cut:

i think in this crossover/AU the Ancients would be the gods (Pale King, White Lady, Radiance, Grimm etc)

I’m not sure how the vessels would fit into this, but Hornet and Quirrel would definitely be slugcats created/modified by Herrah and Monomon.

figuring out my gijinka designs ^_^

Hallownest draws from Japanese inspiration in my headcanons. With this in mind as applied to this AU, I believe (as a general rule) higher-class folks would end up with detailed, painted masks & additional accessories surrounding it (as seen with Lurien's butler contrasted against Quirrel's). Lower-class will still paint theirs, but cannot afford to buy new masks very often; this makes their mask feel much more permanent and personal—thus, most will engrave their masks instead.

Lurien's mask is an odd case in it being rather blank. While crafted specifically by the King's hand to fit him, it lacks any visible design—that is, until one attempts to use magic against him. Only then do the seals of protection glow and reveal the true pattern the King granted his dutiful Watcher, though the assailant likely won't live to share that fact. In another sense, however, Lurien's seemingly blank mask only further emphasizes his use as the King's right-hand. Only ever an extension of him, where only his king knows his true use. He is as Hallownest must see him, and nothing more.

...There are very few who know what lay beneath.

In any case, it is mentioned on the first sheet, but I will delve into more detail on masks' significance in others' cultures as well:

Deepnest occasionally uses masks, or their charms, to acknowledge the community which raised them with pride; as it contains a multitude of rich cultures within it (particularly drawn from East Asian inspiration, here) who are generally (presently) amicable with one another. It is easier to mark trade, as well as shift to other languages as a show of hospitality. Due to its winding passages, children will often get lost in exploration (an encouraged pastime), and are then escorted back to their people if need be. These charms are typically placed in their family's shrine once they've passed; carrying a charm that is not your own is seen as grave disrespect, even if the person in question is not dead. Each person is brought to the one we know as Mask Maker for their charm, drawn from their essence, and to take the charm is to act as if one claims agency over another person. Even parents rarely hold their child's charm.

As for the Uomas, granted a part of Unn's land, Monomon is the one who oversees these creatures. Recognizing the responsibility she is capable of handling, as well as her evident intelligence in her work with the Mosskin, Hallownest approached her as equals with intention to work a beneficial truce. Hesitantly, Monomon accepted their terms with the promise they would not further impose on Unn's land—still, the canyon would be safe travel for all persons, as a neutral ground. Hallownest gave her resources, and the King made her mask to show this allegiance. Though she rarely (properly) wears it, she will have it on her when working with Hallownest's scholars to show respect for them & expect respect in turn. Monomon is at peace co-existing with all surrounding areas; the only one she is wary of is Hallownest... it poses great threat, but she finds solace in knowing she has made herself a necessary pillar in the kingdom's technological development despite being a foreigner. She may use her position to open the minds of those who choose to study or collaborate with her—to see the people who surround them as societies in their own right, worth learning about despite Hallownest's imperialistic views. It is significantly easier to get through to scholars that have come from poorer backgrounds, but the environment she's cultivated does manage to steadily wear down the harsher beliefs ingrained in them.

After a few years spent with Quirrel, Monomon began incorporating some of his traditional dress for herself and encouraged him to do the same when he was to visit her (and, inevitably, when he lived in the Archive). She quite enjoys studying culture & its history, and would often ask Quirrel to indulge her questioning considering he was a first-generation immigrant to Hallownest. Once she manages to meet Herrah in-person, she does the same—with their meeting coinciding with the King's requests to pursue the Dreamer Project, she wanted to help preserve what she could of Deepnest should the plan fail. Kept not in Hallownest's texts, but her own... there was still much that Herrah preferred to keep to oral stories, but she did eventually learn to trust Monomon in this (despite her alliance with Hallownest).

The masks that are gifted by the King often have a slowing effect on the aging of their chosen person. Monomon was already given Unn's blessing (aging & enhancing magic) to help protect what remains in Her stead, but the mask still applies its effect to Quirrel once he'd 'stolen' it (and with it, a part of Monomon's own soul that'd been fused with it). The same applies with Lurien & each of the Five Knights, though no one else is really given the luxury... not even those of the Pale Court, except for one. Even she would come to see it as a curse, however, despite the cheer she presently puts forth.

A lot of poor communities in Hallownest tend to wear more earthly colors, whereas the nobles are given more variety in color/cloth. Many of them consider the land they inhabit carelessly, an idea which doesn't carry over to any other community that has existed much longer than Hallownest; most prefer warm, natural colors by contrast. Monomon specifically puts a spin on Hallownest's noble clothing in mixing it with the Mosskin's cloth (in this particular outfit, it is her skirt).

& As for the particulars of this 'human AU' (of sorts), here's a general listing: Herrah as mixed Syrian-Filipino; Monomon as Jamaican; Quirrel as Vietnamese; Lurien & his butler as Japanese; Hegemol as Korean.

Hm-hm... other than that, I don't think I have much else to talk about that is specific to this AU. It's mostly my excuse to draw the cast as humans (which is easier for me, haha). I'm open to questions, of course, but as this stands... I think I've said all I meant to say/clarify. Thank you for reading :D

Quirrel Quirrel Quirrel

[mantis-on-a-table]

More shit i havent posted here for some reason🕳

[nonuggetshere]

Quirrel for the headcanon thing

Sexuality Headcanon:

MMMM generally queer, just keeping it vague. I feel like he'd mostly be attracted to men and enbies, but not women.

Gender Headcanon:

Cis man.

A ship I have with said character:

POINTS AGGRESSIVELY AT HOLLOW.

A BROTP I have with said character:

Hollow, again. I just like them as friends, lovers, queerplatonic partners, whatever it is I dig it. I think they'd have good chemistry, their personalities mash together pretty well, plus they both have that vibe of "my purpose is now gone and my life is meaningless". My pathetic babygirls can find a new meaning to life together :]

Also, naturally, Ghost. I think Quirrel would be friends with all three of the siblings but especially Hollow and Ghost. Quirrel brings all the vessels to the yard. He's got the official stamp of vessel approval.

Also, Lemm. I like the idea of an avid relic collector and the guy who was actually alive to see Hallownest in all of its former glory talking. I think Quirrel should intentionally mislead Lemm on some translations, as a treat.

And of course, Monomon. He's her normal and rational sidekick to her kind of a mad scientist vibe.

A NOTP I have with said character:

Quirrel x Ghost

I genuienly hate that ship. Mostly because while I see them as being around Hollow's age by number, they have the mental and physical age of a child. I think it's the only ship that truly meets the criteria of being my NOTP. Literally any ship involving a child and an adult I hate.

I also kind of dislike Quirrel x Hornet, personally because I see them as having an extreme age gap as Quirrel is around Hollow's age in my head, but I can at least tolerate that one because the timeline is vague enough that they could be peers or at the very least have met well into their adulthood (the comic involving Quirrel does imply that Hornet didn't recognise him but Monomon's mask, so they might have not even met before). It just kind of makes me uncomfortable so I avoid it.

A random headcanon:

I like the idea of Quirrel with reading glasses. Little nerd in little glasses.

General Opinion over said character:

I like him. Funnie pillbug nerd. I know he died at the end but I like the idea of him slowly finding a new purpose in life, I like these kinds of characters. Plus I somehow tend to gravitate towards characters that were present during the time Hallownest was still standing, idk why.

[devilcatdarling]

👉👈 throws my rareship at you, thoughts on Hollow x Quirrel?

I can kinda see it considering Quirrel was Monomon's apprentice and would've likely spent some time at the palace and probably met "the pure vessel"

Personally, I prefer a more close platonic interpretation of them. I could see them being very close friends and sharing a single braincell when they're supposed to be the responsible adults in the room and I lean more towards a "besties" dynamic with them

but I've seen the ship and honestly it's usually pretty cute and works well when they both are dealing with their post-canon "we've seen and lived through some shit" feelings and lean on one another for support, so yeah I could see it <3

hornet x quirrel

Rephrasing from my replies, lol

Ways I don't like it:

I think it contorts both of them just totally out of character in the traditional shipping sense. Again I don't engage with it at all, but I've noticed Quirrel stays mostly himself, but Hornet becomes a generic tusundre - and even when you do that, I still don't think they have chemistry. Quirrel naturally takes on a mentoring role and I believe Hornet would find that disrespectful, like she needed help - anyone can see that she's more than capable of handling herself! She emits "I'M NOT INTERESTED AND I DON'T NEED HELP" at an astounding force and Quirrel would be smart enough to pick up on that, lol.

I also think that going straight to romance is disrespectful to Quirrel's character as well. Speaking of smart- he seems to be good at reading people, and Hornet, under the immense amount of pressure that she is... getting attached to someone romantically would upset her more than anything, and be an extra burden on her in that situation. He wouldn't do that. He's considerate.

This isn't hate for anyone who ships it, it's just not at all close to what I think of as canon.

Ways I could like it:

As a friendship... I think there could be potential, but not for most of the game. In the past, Hornet has a decent chance of never having met him, or still being a little baby if she did. (And if we take the side comic as canon, that is correct.) It would be interesting if Hornet indulged Quirrel in a long, difficult talk about what happened and the future of the kingdom after Monomon falls, and related the deaths of their respective dreamers, and so on. Bugs who know what really happened in Hallownest aren't exactly common, and I think that would lift a weight on both of them.

send me literally any hk relationship and I'll tell you my thoughts

Hornet x Quirrel stuff

• Quirrel telling Hornet stories about the lands outside Hallownest and teaching her more about the world outside. And Hornet telling Quirrel stories of Hallownest and helping him to remember his old home.

• The two of them practice sparing with each other And of course Quirrel teases Hornet about the first time they met.

• Hornet easily relaxing around Quirrel but being upset about it later, after she's realized.

• Quirrel writing about her and sketching pictures of her. (He just finds her so intriguing!)

• Hornet loves dancing, she learned how to dance in the hive and she feels so relaxed and free when she does it. Quirrel would absolutely enjoy dancing with her, and learning from her. And he's a quick learner!

• Quirrel and Hornet doing tasks together and Quirrel gets so easily distracted. Hornet keeps him focused and he helps her to slow down and enjoy the simple pleasures of life.

• Both of them love water, and swim very well. They spend lots of time at the blue lake, or dancing in the rain in the city.

• Hornet making Quirrel silk bandanas, he loves to wear.

• The two of them visiting the dreamers memorial in the resting grounds. Placing flowers by their stone.

• Herrah and Monomon watching over them, absolutely adoring how close the two have become.
