#castor lore

[hamletisintown]

I keep telling myself I should talk about my OCs more bc how else am i gonna lure people into talking about them with me??? So, i'm gonna be brave and i'm gonna use these sketches i made recently to introduce some of my little guys a bit.

Also for anyone interested, I do have a tags system that SHOULD be comprehensive, check my pinned post,

and if you're interested in any particular OC, check the tags under my drawings, i try to tag each OC individually (and in order of appearance in the drawing from left to right, top to bottom) so you should be able to just click on the tag and see more of them!

With this out of the way, let's get into it:

(from left to right)

The twin princes Hypnos and Thanatos. They are famously demigods, direct descendants of Erebus the moth god, and thus held to high standards. Hypnos is the face of the kingdom, adept at manipulating his way through social situations, while Thanatos is a warrior trained by the illustrious Illudo, leading the guards and the armies. Fiery, warm, but rational and distant Hypnos ; stoic, sharp, but emotional and honorable Thanatos ; they stand in stark contrast to each other, each one complementing the other's weaknesses, an inseparable duo.

Aubépine the Butterfly Knight. A well-known fgure among the Court, Aube is a flashy, charming, but responsible knight. Many ladies would offer him their heart without hesitation but this honorable knight remains single, too focused on his duty of protecting the castle, though some rumours (if you'd care to believe them) would have him already romantically entangled with a lowly criminal.

Acacia the honey mage. Every court needs its doctors, and as far as doctors go, the honey mages produced by honey bee and bumblebee colonies are the best equipped for the task. Acacia is a nervous but efficient worker, apt to tackle the difficult ordeal of keeping all of the chaotic figures of the court in relatively good shape. A tough job that nevertheless puts them in a privileged position to learn about many of the court's secrets...

LAES is BACK

YIPPIE

It's back! Youtube re-instated the channel! I've been catching up. Here's some celebratory art!

Why didn't I draw moon? More at 8...

[hazard-c-horror]

Random doodle of Hazard, the Astrals (that we know) and lunar (Idk why I drew this.)

With a bit of hinting to lore that I’ll make a comic for later

I have a lot of comics I’m still working on, but production is going a bit slow, since motivation is low. But I’m close to finishing one, so look forward to that

I believed in the users once before | A system in disbelief

It’s so fascinating looking at legacy because basically in all of Flynn’s actions he has created the perfect situation to justify hatred and disbelief in the users.

Flynn did all the heavy work for Clu. There is no need to propagandize and lie when , in your view God has indeed abandoned you. He had taken a Polytheistic society that used to have more more individualized deities and inadvertently turned it Monotheistic. Between him constantly leaving and then going into hiding- to this society he truly has abandoned them. They have no other User input, requests, commands - he is it and he has left them.

As cycles go on belief wanes, this is a system that used to have direct and constant interactions with users and what they’re capable of and hasn’t in generations. Memory wanes, anger stews, distrust grows. And who comes in to pick up the pieces? Clu. He’s not making a single thing up, unlike most dictators he fully believes everything he spews and from a point of view… he’s right. (Again that’s terrifying).

Where the MCP had to forcefully capture and eliminate programs who still believed in the users (that he hadn’t assimilated or drained). Clu doesn’t. Belief was nearly stamped out organically!! In the grid it has truly become a cultish set of unwavering belief— unlike in Encom where it was a organic part of life stamped out by force. This is more “choosing to leave religion” if it’s comparative?

Those who fight in the games are strays- not regular programs but those broken or lost that are out just… wandering. Those are the ones that get tossed into the arena or rectified (from what we see in the movie) it’s not like the MCP. Clu doesn’t have to work so hard to get rid of belief because I cannot state enough, Flynn did all the heavy work himself.

In this grid the games are a purpose, horrific but using the infrastructure left behind by Flynn. Strays get the games — survival. Regular programs have something to do — watch.

There’s no mindcontrol in the crowd- their user hate and games enjoyment is a necessity if they want a society at all. If it is to believed— as Flynn himself stated Clu can’t create, he can repurpose. He’s the overseer! Not the creator. He’s doing what he can with what he has… he built Rome, which is not good (as sympathetic as I am towards Clu there’s like 12 other things you could’ve done before building Rome)

No one is a better example of Lost faith than Castor.

He’s fought for Flynn and his beloved ISOs , he was one of the best so much so he’s still sought after. He’s changed. “I believed but what did that do for me?” What did it get him but heartache and so many dead companions and at the end of it , after all this fighting Flynn disappears! His fall into self preservation and sour attitude towards users is completely understandable.

It’s sad that this has happened as the original film and novelization describe belief in the users as this intrinsic and natural thing all programs know to be true. And to have a situation where so many willingly abandon belief because there is no communication (‘user requests are what computers are for’) or purpose. That it had been made so easy for clu to turn that sorrow into a burning hatred. It is sad that this thing they all desire the most has basically been made into a cult sect who can’t let go of something that used to be so basic. Above all it’s just so fascinating that this all happened naturally supposed to by a regime, all Clu had to do was step up and acknowledge it.

In conclusion:

Now I’m not saying Flynn did any of this on purpose, he didn’t want to abandon anything, he didn’t want to create a system with no purpose. He was a excited young man who wanted to recreate something cool and was given the powers of a god. He didn’t know the impact even the smallest action could cause. He did not have bad intentions but oh boy did he fuck up.

I hope this makes even a lick of sense, I just have so many thoughts 😭

Astral body lore !UNDER CONSTRUCTION!

This post has a lot of information that I got from Starr⭐️ over on YouTube! So huge shoutout to her for all this!!!

She’s also got some killer music taste, (I’m listening to her Castor themed playlist as of writing this lol) so be sure to check her out on Spotify as well if you’d like!

CHARACTER BOIS!!!

Castor

Pollux

Gemini

Nebula

Taurus

Leo

Libra

Aries

The antimatter

GENERAL POINT OF THE ASTRALS

The main point of the astral bodies existence is to postpone the end of the universe as long as possible. The way they do this is by fighting the incarnations of antimatter that pop up all over the universe. Each astral is assigned a role, for example: Castor and Pollux scout out worlds to see if they are corrupted by antimatter. If so, Taurus and Leo destroy said planet before it can spread.

FACTS ABOUT some OF THE ASTRALS

Honorable mentions that I think are too small of facts/too obvious to get their own sections:

Since the astral body’s are made out of light (mentioned multiple times throughout the show, but I think the first mention is in ‘EARTH and POLLUX Become BEST FRIENDS?! In VRCHAT’) they can move through walls and most physical structures and surfaces.

It’s been shown that the astral are very bitchy about their schedules/pisces and sagittarius are friends(?), as shown In the episode ‘Castor and Pollux's PLAN for LUNAR?! in VRCHAT’ Castor and Pollux said this: “everyone’s getting angry! I mean- they like things to be punctual! They like things on their own timetable.” “Those two are very awful about it.” (Note: in this scene the twins are complaining about how the other astrals are rushing them on find out if lunar’s a threat or not, and their complaining about Leo and taurus in particular.) *sigh* “Pisces and Sagittarius are likely doing their own thing.”. I looked up what the personalities of Pisces and Sagittarius, and they generally seem like they’d probably be more nice (if google is correct), and I might be jumping to conclusions on this one, but I think that they might be friends, due to the way that castor mentioned them together, and google says that they have a very high friendship potential.

The astral shave their own culture. Mentioned in the current latest episode as of writing this: ‘Gemini SENDS A MESSAGE in VRChat’, Gemini mentions that the stars have their own etiquette, but never really gave any context beyond that since they thought if they told lunar, then it would break his mind, WHICH IS COMPLETELY UNFAIR. BESTIE I DO NOT CARE IF IT MAKES ME INSANE, IN CASE YOU COULDNT TELL FROM ME WRITING THIS ENTIRE ESSY, THE ADDED INFORMATION WILL ONLY MAKE MY HYPERFIXATION STRONGER. *cough cough* so anyways yeah this section is basically just a place holder till we get more info on their culture.

The astrals can for some reason not be seen by colorblind creatures??? Mentioned in the episode ’Lunar Is FRIEND ZONED! in VRChat’, because there was a deer standing near lunar and Gemini said “it must be comfortable in your presence” and when lunar asked why they didn’t care about Gemini, with which they responded with “no we are more or less invisible to them. See?” Then they started to run around the deer. And when asked why by lunar they replied with “most animals on your planet are colorblind. We are light. If light can’t reflect the way it’s meant to, then we kinda just come off as invisible.” WHICH MAKES NO F*CKING SENSE AT ALL!!! Cuz like yes. they wouldn’t be able to see them in their full glory, but if an animal were to look at them they’d at least see a glowing figure towering above them!!! So yea, it was probably just a bit to explain why a deer would be standing so close to them, but it still makes no sense.

The astral body’s can naturally produce star power without creating any anti matter. (Mentioned in the episode ‘Moon is THREATENED by GEMINI?! in VRCHAT’ I think.)

they also apparently have a jail as well. They can also essentially perma ban people from L I F E. Not killing them, when they do this apparently said victim gets sucked into the void and is in constant pain. So that’s fun- (mentioned in the episode ‘Gemini CONFRONTS Lunar again in VRChat’

Whenever the astrals are around antimatter, they start to feel progressively more nauseous. And wherever/whoever is admitting said antimatter, smells incredibly potent to the point where they can taste it. and it apparently smells like: [and I quote] “like if somebody mixed anchovies with rotten eggs”. (Judging from lunar’s reaction to Monty’s antimatter infested arm in the episode ‘Dazzle's NEW JOB in VRChat’.)

And lastly, and probably the most obvious of all, the astral body’s do not need to eat or sleep, since the astral body’s are made of light.

[depthsasunder-if]

How old is the MC and the casts?

Right now I'm thinking 28 for MC.

As for the rest of the cast:

A is 32.

Gaelin is 30.

Morgan is 30.

Castor is 25.

Merfolk don't count the years but rather lunar cycles but that would be a lot lol physically they're 26.

Ruth is 14

[prerodinu]

I also really want everyone to know that thicc thighs are Castors down fall and he will ask someone with thicc thighs to smoother him to death. Male or female.

Concept drawings for The Lord/Castor throughout the years! He was a spitting image of his "Mother" (The Void) at first, though took on a slightly more humanoid shape as to spite her. He only began to refine his form into being more humanoid during his time being stuck within Alexis' body/soul.

Castor, the night after ALIEN STAGE, Season 39: Round 1

"You're not supposed to be outside of your room, you know." It was cruel how close the voice sounded to Kyo. Like he was actually there. Like it was the 38th season again and they were spending every minute they could together before each round brought the threat of separation.

But it wasn't.

"You're not s'posed to be here, either," Castor pointed out tiredly, a lopsided smile on his face as he looked up at Kyo, all dressed up in his Anakt Garden clothes. It was fitting that he always appeared in those clothes. Castor had always thought they looked ghostly; a tongue-in-cheek reminder that they were all already dead.

Kyo leveled him with an unimpressed look. "Very funny."

"You know me, always laughing it up."

"Not right now, you aren't." Kyo raised his head to glance around the boiler room. It was stuffy and smelled strongly of artificial heat, but the guards didn't walk down this way very often. "What's got you so shook about Azure, anyway? You hated him. With a passion."

"I didn't..." He scrubbed a hand down his sweat-beaded face. "I didn't hate him."

"You didn't like him."

"He was a poor imitation of you," Castor snapped, then cringed at his own tone. "He mocked you."

Kyo rested his cheek in his hand, arching an eyebrow. "He mocked you. I was just the instrument."

"Same difference."

"And you're upset about his death."

Castor shrugged and touched a fingertip to a pipe to feel the dull heat emanating from it. "He was a human being. He didn't deserve to die."

"So your value on human life is greater than your own pride after all," Kyo said drily.

Castor tried to scowl at him, but he couldn't bring himself to be mad. Not at Kyo. Not anymore. "Of course it is. If Cirrus had died, my reaction would've been the same. Death is death."

"But you weren't expecting Azure's death." Castor jerked his head back, taken aback. Kyo continued bluntly, "You were sure all those adoring fans would save him. They were so loyal. Just like they are with you. All it took was one pretty mystery to take him out. What would it take for you?"

"We're not talking about my round. I have time."

"And you would've had more if you didn't let yourself be entered into this season in the first place!" Kyo stood with a glare. He wasn't angry before, just matter of fact, but he was angry now, that much was obvious. "Sonii wasn't going to use you for this!"

"She was going to use me for other things, though."

That gave Kyo pause. His terse expression melted back into dullness inch by inch. "Then what's the plan, Cas? You going to... you going to win again and again to avoid this? Watch a hundred people die in front of you? Is that what you think you're doing?"

"There is no plan," Castor bit out. "And we're done talking about this. I said I have time."

"Time to do what?"

Castor looked away, eyes falling on the shadows painted across the hard floor. He didn't know. He didn't know what he was waiting for.

But when he turned back to the spot where Kyo had been, he was gone. There was nothing.

Nothing had ever been there in the first place.

[asterbats]

god i need to change castor’s gligar color pallet again. i’m so sorry
