More clone brain rot...

There's a meteor shower visible tonight...and now Hevy and the Domino Squad are taking up that special place in my brain 😆

I'm sorry but the second they showed Mary Jane, I was completely distracted from the actual plot.

They just casually resolved a 26-year cliffhanger! She made it back! Spider-man saved her! AHHHHHHH!!!!

[tigeristired]

hello fable cast scrolling the tag. having a good after stream time seeing everyone still crying hours later?

[coatl-cuddles]

PLEASE infodump to me, how do we know for a fact the skiddo in the trailers and concert is the prince? I am starved for Alef lore

💫 HAYYY~~~~ 💫

I will GLADLY info dump about my favorite sky kids!!

SPOILER WARNING FOR ANYONE WHO HASNT COMPLETED AURORA!

Obligatory nothing is absolutely confirmed in sky unless stated by creators since there's no dialogue. So lots of stuff is always up to interpretation.

Howeverrrr the likelihood of Alef being the sky kid we see is essentially 99.9%!!

So here we go!!!

First thing to note is that the spirit from isle and the concert is totally the same Sky Kid. And we can tell thanks to MAMA Spirit! Or well- the adoptive mama spirit! More specifically... the adoptive mama spirit who unfortunately dies :(

One of the FIRST spirits in the game is a feminine looking ancestor with a relatively high pony tail, who discovers a fallen sky child (likely to be Alef)! This occurs in the Isle of Dawn!

Then, in the concert, we get a similar looking spirit ( high ponytail ) who ALSO took in a sky child-- who dies tragically :( leaving the sky child orphaned and alone.

Granted it is a different body type!!! But considering the amount of retcons and redesigns of areas / updates to the game around this time I'll look past it for now. But regardless, ponytail stays the same.

And of course lastly is our mama from the trailers with our Dawn Ember :(

Who is also wearing a bag on her shoulders like the aurora spirit (you can see the rope strap!)- and who also tragically loses her life as confirmed by TGC during the anniversary livestream. This can be found when they state it's the tale of two ORPHANS... implying our Dawn Ember does not have a guardian. Or at least not anymore. (Which also implies our Dusk Ember/The Stewards parents who gave him the butterfly pendant ALSO die, but that's for another time)

Something to note is that Sky Kids and ancestors are NOT the same race. They are completely different. Ancestors do have children!! But Sky Kids are a separate thing.

And they're rare.

Very rare.

So rare in fact that it's heavily believed by the fandom that Alef/Resh was the FIRST sky kid.

So the likelihood of two different pony tailed ancestors (who live in the Isle of Dawn AND who die tragically) adopting a sky kid is SUPER UNLIKELY!

So that's how we vaguely know it's the SAME Sky kid. BUT!! Most importantly, we know the Sky Kid is Alef forrrrr kinda shallow reasons, but they hold water!!! So it counts!!!

Which is basically to sayyyy... Dawn Ember is wearing a baby version of King Resh's mask.

So like- not the most GROUND BREAKING lore reveal. But---

Like-

Yeah,

That's our favorite star prince right there!

Also the implication that he got the extra four points AFTER prophecy, explains why as a kid he only has the main 4 points at the top and sides. Plus he already has suspiciously placed "cracks" in his mask where the 4 other points will come out of. That's our baby boy for sure!!!

Obviously, this isn't concrete proof of tgc just going HEY that's Alef!

However, for a game with zero dialogue and the most complex game of charades ever, this is basically as good as it's gonna get when it comes to tying everything together!

Also his name is Dawn.

Dawn Ember. For isle of Dawn. Which took me until 5 minutes ago to realize.

Which explains a lot, because we've all been kinda side eyeing the names like why tf did they name Hopeful Steward the Dusk Ember. But, if they're naming them off of AREAS and not literally the day/night motif that makes sense. Especially since a ton of Dusk Embers trailer scenes seem to take place in Wasteland, which the devs call the Dusk area. Despite him probably being from prairie or aviary village.

So badabing badaboom that's our baby boy right there!!! 3 different ways. 3 different flavors!!! All for the sake of mama spirit dying. Tragic. But that's our boy alrighttttt yayyy!!!!!!!!

Watch me be totally 100% wrong and all the fanart make zero sense a couple months from now. BUT IM DYING ON THIS HILL (for now!)

🎉🎉 That's our Prince right there!! 🎉🎉

birfday today :]

[starwriterulia]

Hello, tagged people! I would like your opinions, just in the replies is fine, if you're interested. You can either read everything or skim through what's pink. On that note, if everyone who's left a like on any of the chapters has actually been reading, I will cry, that's all I've ever wanted as a writer, just to be seen a little bit aaaaaa.

I'm thinking of changing Chapter 8 so that Faith doesn't get raped and stabbed by Ra's. I wanted to finish this plotline in Chapter 8 or 9, and now that I've thought about Chapter 8 a little bit, I realised I can finish it in Chapter 8, not Chapter 9, and better. Chapter 9 is 65-75% complete but will now be entirely scrapped, and that's OK! Its quality was really poor, and the story wasn't going in the direction I wanted. While, yes, TotGSD is, in a way, all over the place, and there's been at least one (1) shocking reveal about Faith, and the saying "art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable" is applicable to Chapter 8 as it was originally written, I think I did girlboss too close to the sun. And that's OK, too! I thought the first draft was what the story needed, and I was wrong.

So, details time! I forgot that Faith fell asleep wearing her pyjama pants, as Ra's immediately accessed Faith's naked body. As a lucid dreamer, you feel everything a lot more.

Etc., I wrote stuff here, and now I've copy-pasted it and will polish it in today's revision.

What morally righteous citizen would trust a willing villain-fucker to save them or help their city?

I'm thinking of privating the chapter for about an hour, while I work on it, and then make it public again.

Let me know your thoughts, if you'd like, and thank you!

The way I get into horror is drawing something I'm really scared of. (Like the fear of spiders or clowns) I feel like if you turn your fear into art it doesn't seem so scary anymore....and since have the fear of the one ocean half of my drawings are based around water it helps somewhat to get into the horror mindset. (To me anyway!)

i would Love to do that, however my fear of spiders is like. they scare me to the point of tears <3 i Cannot look at them much less draw them <3

[sir-buddy]

Gay people stargazing because yes.

I imagine Octavius is talking about some Roman mythology stuff and pointing out constellations or smth

[kalmiaclown]

My roman empire is the fact that Jhonen confirmed Dib would probably like Lemon Demon and his favorite song would be Two Trucks. Shall I ever find a playlist with cyberpunk/goth music in it??? Like PLEEAASEE this nerd definitely has a hacking playlist!!!!!!! 😭😭😭

[silver-stargazing]

Watching @fordtato latest video right now and the kazoo theme! How could I have ever forgotten about the kazoo theme?!

[reineyday]

me, perusing movies on netflix, finding happiness for beginners, and squinting at the camp guide: RACETRACK HIGGINS???

[nervocat]

Guys I'm in a mood rn where I just wanna like. Go out into this stereotypical ethereal comforting forest and just walk around and collect rocks and stuff.. bring some binoculars for birdwatching perhaps as well!!

[killerpancakeburger]

If you talk to Dammon at night in the Last Light Inn he says he can’t sleep so he might as well work... He's a workaholic... would be A SHAME if someone was there to help him busy himself in other ways... or help him fall alseep... just saying...

[follyshroom]

I know I technically passed the Trigun Stargaze date but I was busy fighting demons (sane Trigun fan reactions) until night became morning

[thetwilightroadtonightfall]

my flowers were looking really nice last night :)
