RANDOM HOOK HEADCANON, CHECK !

TOPIC: THE CREATION OF THE MOLES―

I have mentioned roughly about why Hook created the Moles in this post over here. But! I have been thinking about it for awhile now and figured I should go in depth of why she created the Moles.

Hook's inspiration for creating the Moles can be found in THE ADVENTUROUS MOLES side quest in the game, where Julian asks the Trailblazer to go on a journey to find all the pages of the book. From reading the pages, the book is an interactive book, much like some of the children books that allows kids to stimulate their brains by letting them figure out a puzzle and etc.

From the passages of text, you can tell that the Moles are an adventure squad that details their expeditions in pages, describing the once-vibrant planet that is known as Jarilo-VI / Belobog and the troubles that they faced.

This book is an inspiration to Hook, I would say. And it made me raise my eyebrow when Julian tells the Trailblazer that he wanted a sequel and that he got the postface from Natasha. Where did she get it? We will never know, but what the author says in the postface is something that Hook is trying to do:

― ❝ But, more importantly, I want to give my young readers "the experience of adventure without the peril of it." ❞

The adventures that Hook creates for the Moles are never expeditions that put them into trouble. For example, she goes as far as to make another version of the boxing tournament, also known as the Dark Fist Tournament, where people don't fight and just play rock, paper, scissors with one another. She plans their adventures, she comes up with the puzzles on her own for the rest of the children under her watch, and I think that is a very mature thing to do, coming from a ten year old.

MOVING ONTO THE CORE REASON ON THE CREATION OF THE MOLES:

Like I said before in the linked post above, the Moles is a network for children to communicate and bond. Hook has been through a lot, as a kid. She lost her biological Mother, saw her biological Father pass on in front of her, watching as Fersman's health and memory get worse over time and this rough society that they were stuck in, due to the lockdown of the Underworld. The list really goes on.

The innocence of children is very important, it is crucial that children get to be children. They need to grow up properly, with happiness and a good mindset. Hook barely got to experience that when she was younger, which is why she thinks it is important for her to step up as the Boss of the Moles.

Where I am going with this, is that Hook is creating a LIVE sequel of the Adventurous Moles for her group, just like Julian wanted. She is constantly making up new things for the kids to do, which will both help them learn and have fun at the same time.

She is making the stories into a real adventure for everyone, like a fairy tale that has come true.
