#THIS IS SO MUCH LORE

[that-foul-legacy-lover]

I don't know of someone has seen this lore drop, I got it from TikTok about the Xbox glider and even if it wasn't real let's consider this:

Instead of Traveler, Reader is the one chosen to become the new ruler of Khaenri'ah, a vessel for unlimited Abyssal power, becoming the key to the world's near-annihilation.

Wether Reader decides to follow this scheme or reject it and flee from the Abyss it's up to you. But if the run away, they're still corrupted by the whole process –probably– and maybe closer to how Skirk or Arlecchino look; they're human but the Abyss and Khaenri'ah's traces are there, adorning their skin, a strange glint in their hollow eyes. Of course, they probably are very powerful too.

And then they meet Childe and subsequently Foul Legacy (or they just meet Foul Legacy and we leave our favorite ginger boy out of this). Moth shenanigans ensue.

What could possibly go wrong? It's just your (Lovely) Eldritch Abyssal Monster and Abyss Vessel!Reader

YESSS I SAW IT I WAS LIKE Y'ALL PUT SUCH HEAVY LORE IN AN XBOX GLIDER??? GOODNESS GRACIOUS...

you never chose this path- you weren't given an option to begin with. the Abyss saw you first, deeming you perfect, wonderful, just right for a vessel, and you were dragged away from the light you adored. indeed you were Khaenri'ahn-born, but to be forced into servitude under the delusion of being crowned the "new ruler" of a crumbling nation is madness even for you- and you lived among madness all your life. so the first chance you got, you ran. through the winding, twisted tunnels and caverns of the Abyss; past your home, all ablaze; up and out into the sun. it blinds you at first, burning the Abyssal energy locked in your body and crisscrossing over your skin, and you confine yourself mostly to the shadows, slowly becoming a figure of folklore. a haunting shadow with stars on your skin and no light in your eyes, yet only violent towards the Abyssal creatures who seek to cage you once more

Foul Legacy is the exception, as he never wanted to trap you. he followed your scent instead, curiously, the scent of fading starlight and ice. Legacy approaches you quietly, carefully, keeping low to the ground- human-types always seem to scream when anything is larger than then- tilting his head and letting out a soft coo. you glare at him for a moment, but sigh and nod, permission to curl up by the small fire you have going, and Legacy's glimmering wings happily wiggle as he settles in the grass. he rests his head on his claws, watching you with a wide, glittering eye, occasionally chirping and trilling quietly. there's no response from you- that's alright. you're not trying to hurt him, and that's something. he makes no moves to get any closer, perfectly content giving you some space and observing his potential new friend

when he falls asleep, you can faintly hear sweet, gentle purrs, and your jaded heart softens. just a little

adventure time lore is insane. it starts off just being a goofy kids show that has magic for no reason, but then you learn that all magic users are manic and/or depressed (what betty calls sadness and madness). because it turns out magic is actually a cosmic force beyond mortal comprehension, that itself was learned from cosmic entities that predated the existence of time itself inside a sea of monsters. and "magic" really is just understanding more about the nature of the universe than most people. that, in a way, reality isnt "real" and understanding that allows you to mold it. and thats magic. but that drives you to insanity and/or apathy. and there are beings who hold significant cosmic importance who are more prone to magic. and the reason magic became prevalent on earth is because of a nuclear war a thousand years ago, which released the entity that represents the destruction of all life onto the world. and after a nuclear apocalypse this gave way to a new earth, where magic could thrive. but a lot of the beings we see arent even magical, theyre just mutants from what happened 1000 years ago. and humanity as we know it has been all but wiped out. but everything stays the same because cycles of war and violence continue. and it doesnt matter if its nukes or magic. everything stays the same, but still changes.

I love the pale garden and how it's like a parallel to dark forests. I love how the two divert expectations.

Dark forests, despite their name, are saturated and full of life. Even compared to regular forests, there's a lot more biodiversity than many of the "basic" biomes. There's three whole different trees found there, giant mushrooms, and plenty of flowers. They're one of the biomes capable of spawning a lush cave underneath it. It has its dangers just like any other overworld biome, obviously, but it's nothing overly more than anywhere else. Traversing it can be tricky sometimes and illagers may take residence in the biome's woodland mansions, but it's ultimately a very colorful and lively environment.

Opposing it is the new pale garden. Usually white and light colors are seen as pristine and good, but the pale garden takes it the opposite direction and goes right into uncanny valley territory. It has none of the color of dark forests, none of the biodiversity, none of the liveliness. It has trees and moss that look familiar, but something is off. It has a signature mob, but even the creaking is just a puppet of the trees, not really sentient, not really even plotting against anything. There's "life", but, once again, it's wrong.

I think the pale garden is a wonderful addition to Minecraft's world building as it is, but the deliberate parallel to dark forests? Delicious.

I mean this with love and kindness. I hope all the girlies who were convinced Jayce would exile Viktor and inherently despise him for using the Hexcore on himself feel real silly right now.
