may i know more about the queen of storms 🥺

ANON I'M SORRY I TOOK SO LONG TO ANSWER THIS i'd hoped to have a fun little drawing to go with it, but!!! a few fun facts!

The Queen of Storms is the eighth Overseer, representing the element of Nightmare -- death, resignation, decay. She knows she is the least-favored Overseer, but takes delight in her public image being essentially the Grim Reaper.

She doesn't kill people. She only waits for them, at the end of everything -- her nexus point is a tomb inside the earth, many miles west of Langtree, in a different village that honors the Nightmare Queen. You do not need a song to enter it, but many will warn you against intruding if you are not dying or sickly. Because the Nightscape kills you slowly the deeper into the labyrinth you delve. Nothing alive can stay.

The Nightscape is deep down inside the earth, a veritable mausoleum filled with every soul that ever clambered down here. The Queen of Storms watches over them and ensures their unfinished business is done before they go.

The ghosts in Wandersong's plot -- I like to think -- wandered out of that spiritscape because the Nightmare Queen let them.

The Nightmare Queen doesn't want to end the world. She doesn't do anything to hasten its demise. But she knows she has to be the last Overseer to kill, and when the Hero comes for her, she will make sure the Hero's death is painless and swift. That fully and completely ends the world should it pass.

In Liminal Nights, something else takes over the Queen of Storms' body and she disappears, leaving the world unable to end or renew, decaying. That also means the other Overseers don't die, as well as some extra fuckery I haven't quite edited into the story just yet.

Also, she's a sheep in wolf's clothing -- or a wolf in sheep's clothing -- because of the King of Hearts and the Dream King. A dog and a cat. I like to think that since my King of Hearts is a shepherd dog, he watches over the Nightmare Queen, herding her, making sure she treats the humans well. She's a friendly sort, but very odd in general. She's terrifying when she wants to be.

Do you still work on your liminal nights au? Bc I’m still thinking about your liminal nights au…..

Not at the moment! College took a lot of me, and I've graduated as of a month ago, but I've been feeling burnt out so I can't necessarily promise that I'll return to drawing Wandersong fanart or AUs anytime soon.

But I know the feeling... I'd like to return to them someday when the time comes...

HAPPY ECLIPSE DAY!!!!!!!!!!! WHEREVER YOU ARE!

[songwings]

Love, I thought was all for naught that it'd be useless because I felt less

Than one who loves, taking so many romantic dives and only feeling futile is it really worthwhile?

And then at the end of the world, I met you. To me you told- 'I love you!' and banished what might have been watershed

Not a hint of romance in your heart, and yet, you showed me through your art- that love isn't supposed to be only romance. And when I felt this even only once…

I understood. Being loved as a friend feels good.

Thank you for being my friend.

WHAT!!!!! ME TOO!!!!!!! (does happy little dance) ANOTHER DEAF WANDERSONG FAN !!!! HIIIIIII

A song, a unheard beating rhythms you can't grasp, an emptiness eating at you as you gasp

for air. Nothing was ceded to you.

Nothing, nothing, a curse in a world of music, and yet - why must you be a thing if you can only hear static?

If it's so important- why did your goddess leave you out of it?

A thudding in your heart you can finally recognize the rhythm in the art, but all too late you realize -

it's all vibrations, it's all overwhelming and unfamiliar.

Why does this world torture you so? Giving everyone else a gift and taking it away also? Between you and them is a rift.

They think you're missing out and you're starting to agree with them

and you feel so lonely and there is a hole inside you as you try desperately to make a connection that isn't there
