On flowers and the Fuelweaver
🌹 Because I started thinking about Metheus and the Fuelweaver (as discussed in this mega post), I realized something about Charlie's stageplay.
🌹 Until now, I considered the line about the King making flowers bloom more of a figurative expression of the beauty that Charlie saw in Maxwell's magic when it was new and exciting.
🌹 But since Charlie is now two people in one body – with Metheus likely being the other half, the ”Mirror” – this means that some of their fragmented memories are going to get mixed up. The fact that the details don't add up, is something that Maxwell also comments on, if he's watching the play in the audience.
🌹 And since I consider the Ancient Fuelweaver the predecessor of Maxwell from the same era as Metheus (because the Fuelweaver is the one that calls Metheus by name and there is that shared rose theme - likely from BEFORE the Ancients, but that's also talked about in the mega post) with very clear parallels with Maxwell and Charlie, it hit me that there is someone that can make plants grow and flowers (of a kind) bloom with his magic – the reanimated skeleton on the surface. Which means that this specific memory likely belonged to Metheus.
🌹 The same bones and heart are used to reanimate the skeleton, whether that's on the surface, in the caves, or as the character we know as the Ancient Fuelweaver in the ruins. I sincerely believe that each version is the very same character, but his consciousness is only present when he's near the gate. I previously touched on the topic of Them being a parasitic hivemind entity. Maxwell was connected to Them when he was on the Throne and he still struggles to tell apart which thoughts were his and which were Theirs. He could see what they were thinking, and They could see what was on his mind, likely using his connections and knowledge to find new victims (among other things They needed to make sure that the seal on the Gateway would be broken and They'd be free once more). And it was likely the same for the Ancient Fuelweaver, until his entire mind was absorbed into the hivemind. And They are still only partially free and the majority of the entity is trapped on the other side of the Gate (for now) with whatever remains of his mind.
🌹 There isn't much left of the Fuelweaver's body, just bones animated by nightmare fuel and nothing else. The body can only access its own mind when it's close to the Gate where the hivemind is located. I believe this will also be Maxwell's fate if he doesn't stop using the nightmare fuel...
🌹 In any case, the reanimated skeleton on the surface may not remember anything and is acting purely on instinct. But I think the fact that he's not hostile, and makes flowers bloom wherever he goes, tells us a lot about the person the Fuelweaver used to be, before he got corrupted.
🌹 In the caves he's closer to the Gate and is acting much more aggressive. He's also making noises, but they fail to form proper words, but clearly that version is at least somewhat more aware of who he is and what's going on. I can only hope that his mind gets to rest in peace when the body isn't active...
🌹 Going back to the flowers though. It's pretty clear that Maxwell liked adding flowers too. All of his creations; the statues, the clockworks, and even the door to Adventure Mode are surrounded by flowers! It hasn't been confirmed whether he could make them bloom by magic or if he had to plant them like everyone else, but one thing is for sure; pretty much all of them were corrupted. The flowers you see around his creations are Evil Flowers.
🌹 I saw a line that felt relevant among the skin items. These gloves may belong to Wanda, but the quote fits in general. "Hands touched by shadows can only spread darkness." Maxwell's hands are certainly touched by shadows...
🌹 Maxwell himself has a number of quotes that imply that he thinks exactly that and fears that he'll just end up hurting anyone that gets too close (to be fair, this has certainly been the case).

And after so long I’m back on it again with The Ancients. What can I say? After revisiting things with new eyes and with more lore available it has certainly revived my interest in knowing more about them.
Anyways, so decided to revisit my designs for the king and Metheus. Must say I am much happier with these designs than my previous ones.
I took more pointers from some of the statues found in the ruins and decided that way back then, Thulecitians were built a bit different. Mainly in having two sets of arms, two sets of legs and a shell on their back. By the time Laika comes around, evolution changed how they look to having three sets of legs, one set of arms and no shell. Over all, very happy with this look for the king and queen.
Then for other details, I wanted the king’s crown to resemble the horns of The Ancient Fuel Weaver. Kind of a foreshadowing that he eventually becomes The Ancient Fuel Weaver. (Least that’s what I’m theorizing based off his dialogue quotes and from what Charlie wrote in her little play.) I also have him with the Codex Umbra since I’m also convinced that maybe it was either his or Metheus’ grimoire at one point. (It would explain why an “M” would be on it besides it belonging to Maxwell. If it was on there before then I think it would explain it.) Again, going off of Charlie’s play, it’s implied that Maxwell stole from someone potentially when he was learning his magic. (Least if it is to be confirmed the “Mirror” character is indeed The Ancient Fuel Weaver.) As for Metheus, not a lot of details to note since it’s pretty straight forward with her.
I’m curious if we’ll ever learn more about The Ancient Fuel Weaver and Metheus but just have to wait and see. For now, I’m running with the ideas I have for the time being.
Hope you enjoy!

I have a very crazy idea. I played with the thought "What if...."
"What, if Wilson is Cyclum? The ancient King?" He just Reincarnated in another world. The "real world" in United Kingdom.
I first thought about it because of the eyes. Cyclum looks like wilson used to look.
If this is true, it would make sense why Wilson is valuable.
What if Maxwell kidnapped people because the shadows were looking for Wilson? - Wilson was the last person to be kidnapped in 1921, but he was the only one who made it to the throne room.
What if Wilson really loves science because he's been doing it in his previous life?
The ancient king helped his people with his knowledge and magic. Became a strong technologically advanced species in the caves.
and now....
Wilson helps survivors with his knowledge and inventions. Helping Yourself and Others. Btw: And yes, a very curious person and his heart is in the right place. Eg: He wanted to rescue the nightmare werepig because he felt sorry for him.
What if time repeats itself?
What does Wilson say about you?
Yeah. He is a genius and not the "camp boss" just the Modern Major-General.
He invented that....
-search the moon piece -> The moon island
-rescue the nightmare werepig
-discovering the cave system
-exploring the Ancient Civilization (Here I think of the stone tablets most and the iridescent gem.)
Almost all his ideas unleashed chaos in the constant.
What about Charlie and Metheus?
when wilson is brutally tortured she'll be very pleased. If all this is true, then you might be smiling so hard to get revenge. Because of the past. Because he recognized Wilson and knew that he was actually the ancient king.
And in the last video, they showed how much Charlie didn't like Wilson.
What about Wilson's beard?
It's a little interesting how natural you can grow. The magneficident Beard. Okay, This is a normal human things, but he use with meat effigy. Meat effigy is a magic item.
Why is magic things? The wood and meat not have magic, just a beard. He beard has magical powers.
If it is true that he is the ancient king. Reincarnated in another world. Then it is logical to have a shadow power or a property that comes from the constant. What if he is a Human-shadow creature? But just have magic shadow power?
If you lose your mind, the rabbits will turn black. They can give you beard hair like Wilson. Wilson has a beard as big and full as a rabbit man's.
Yeah this is very crazy idea, but what if is true?
Would be a very big twist in the story.

Thank you for this accurate depiction of us having a "little chat". 😂👍
okay OP, in your recent art you mentioned that "you will explain if needed" and gave a detailed explanation of what might have happened (to Charlie and Maxwell).
I'd LOVE to hear more of your thoughts, and the "explanation" that you said you'd provide (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*.✧
ps i really like your art.
Oh! Hello there! 👀
And yes indeed I did. Alright then, get ready for the brainrot. xD
For a long time I've thought that Charlie died and came back wrong, and in the recent updates there have been several things hinting at it.
Here is a list of the ones I can remember right now:
Maxwell says ”There's a story behind that...” when inspecting a touch stone.
After the recent update, the ”dark side” Winona can sense traces of Charlie on the touch stone, confirming it's related to her (the quotes vary).
In the Encore animated short, there is a brief flashback of Charlie with the Ancient Fuelweaver behind her, and then her Chess piece is seen falling and sinking inside a black square on the board - some heavy symbolism there, sparing us from the gory details, I guess...
In Charlie's stageplay, the doll that represents her breaks, but she's brought back to life by the Mirror (Them?) - alive but different, as she says.
And then there are things that fall more into the headcanon territory, until more evidence comes up that either proves or debunks those ideas entirely, but I'll explain those as well, since they heavily influece my art inspiration.
I subscribe to the idea that the two characters in the ancient murals represent Maxwell and Charlie themselves in their early years in the Constant (but depicted by the locals that were unfamiliar with human anatomy). Time moves differently in that world so it could have been thousands of years ago, but the two made contact with the locals and briefly improved their life through the use of Their magic – until it backfired and the entity that must have been sealed for a reason broke free. Assuming the character with the torch really is Charlie, she died protecting Maxwell from the consequences of his own mistakes. In the final mural image, only her cracked head can be seen.
Another headcanon I have comes from the fact that one of shadow Charlie's arms seems to be entirely made of shadows (curiously, there are also arm bones attached to the touch stone, although they could have belonged to a pigman too, like the heads), so I think that whatever happened to her basically shattered her to pieces, and some pieces may still be missing - like that arm. But details like this are only a headcanon for now.
This also falls in the time period between 1906 and 1910-ish, when apparently some crazy stuff happened that Klei hasn't showed us much about – yet (according to their own post some years ago). ^^
So based on all this, my idea is that Maxwell summoned the Fuelweaver (as seen in the murals), but he messed up big time and Charlie got caught in the crossfire trying to protect Maxwell. She died a gruesome death (that may have torn her to pieces even more brutally than in my drawing). Maxwell in his desperation made the touch stone in a hurry (which is why it looks so rough compared to all his other constructs), carried what was left of Charlie there, and made a deal with Them to bring Charlie back to life no matter the cost. And they did. They just didn't bring her back exactly like she used to be, and she would probably fall to pieces and die instantly if she was separated from the entity that she now shares the body with...
I think Maxwell had been able to move freely in the Constant (maybe even out of it, based on his disappearances earlier) until then, but deals like that come with a price, so he lost his freedom and became Their tool (sold his soul to save Charlie?). Or something like that anyway.
There are also the parallels between Charlie and Abigail with their connection to their special flowers, as highlighted in the newest animated video. Charlie just might be another ghost inside a flower herself, but thanks to Them, she got to keep her body, or at least a form that resembles her body.. But I prefer to think that her actual broken body is still a part of the deal, as messed up as that is. We already know that They can keep a body that should have died a long time ago alive for an eternity, thanks to Maxwell. When he was released from the Nightmare Throne and time caught up to him, he didn't just die, he turned to a skeleton that crumbled to dust in an instant..! That's some old corpse, but he'd been conscious all that time because They wouldn't let him die.
So yeah, these happy thoughts inspired that piece. I might draw more about that if I still feel like it later. :D
#reply#3447#some new ideas came to my mind#but I'll make a new post for them#whenever I have the time to write them down that is#and here you were trying to avoid going down the Metheus rabbithole#while I just leap right in#but mostly about the Fuelweaver#thinking thoughts#long post is long#seems like people are enjoying it though
