It's so satisfying seeing scientifically accurate creature designs in videogames and films.
Outer Wilds makes a fantastic job with its own world and Owlks are top tier design from a biological perspective. I just needed to prove it
(None of this has been approved as canon unless I specifically say so)

The outer wilds devs are really good at making things sound cool.
Orbital Probe Cannon - Cooler than anything you'd heard of before that point, leads you towards it.
The Sunless City and the Hanging City: Really cool, if simple, names.
The Quantum Moon: I'm sorry the quantum WHAT now??? I wanna go there!
The Ash Twin Project: An incredible name honestly. Fits the Project's importance. I keep saying it to myself under my breath whenever I'm thinking of the game.
The Eye of the Universe: Do I even need to explain this one?

Off The Marshamallow Stick and Into the Campfire
Chapter 9
Fandom: Outer Wilds
Summary: The light of the exploding singularity is brighter than anything Obsidian has ever imagined. Breathtaking as a spark of hope when they thought everything was lost. Obsidian would know, they'd worn that feeling like a second skin, loop, after loop, after loop. The feeling still holds them even as pure light, pure possibility, consumes them. Then, nothing.
Obsidian wakes up…

Chapter Preview
Chert waits for them by the ships at the edge of the crater. The under construction landing pad is not ready. So, this is the safest place to take off from.
"They're blind!" Chert confirms excitedly as they approach. "Hornfels distracted it by making noise and I snuck a stick in front of it. It didn't notice a thing!"
It was good to see Chert in a better mood after yesterday. Obsidian had been worried that the truth had been too much for the other Traveler.
“Good to know.” Obsidian says. “Thanks for finding that out for us.”
"Of course." Chert says smiling for the first time since this whole thing started.

Here is it! The full Outer Wilds timeline fresco :) I just miss the other bugs, you know? I should try drawing them too! Kinda disappointed how the Ghostbirds ended up looking on my drawing but oh well. Other people liked it, hope you’ll like it too :)

watching my pal playing outer wilds for the first time and he forgot the Interloper is called the Interloper, so he called it "the stupid ghost matter asteroid"
i had to bite my hand to not burst out laughing because he does NOT know the Interloper lore yet (would laughing about that be a spoiler? probably lol)
i can't believe how his stupid joke is literally spot on
