i am Always thinking about Sapphire and Navigator's first conversation.

i already talked about how the "I missed talking to you." bit hurts, but then the conversation turns to this and. augh. especially now with the information about why Sapphire got trapped in the time loop in the first place. it's not just that Sapphire can't leave, it's that they're not allowed to leave. they can't come home.

i miss these two so much :(

this is a screenshot redraw! original screenshot(s) under cut

god the lava farm is a pain in the ass to draw when you're speed-drawing.i didn't feel like trying to give the lava proper texturing, sorry :,) but. man. i love how this scene is framed in Ruby's pov. clocktower you will always be my favorite tsmp lore stream i think

🎶 YOU GOT US LISTENING, SO WHAT YOU GONNA DO, NOW WHAT YOU GONNA DO WITH IT? MAKE ME PARANOID, LOVE ME HATE ME FILL THE VOID, WHAT YOU GONNA DO WITH IT? SO WHO AM I, YOU DECIDE, INSIDE OUT YOU READ MY MIND, WHAT YOU GONNA DO WITH IT?

it never hurts to give thanks to the navigator, even when he's spitting out random numbers.

(alt under cut)

[autisticlalna]

settled on a design for Navigator! the idea of him writing on his arms is blatantly copied from @ace1diots :D i still think he's the type of guy to wear a scarf.

the writing on his arms is a mix of galactic and digicode, because galactic seems to be lore-relevant now and i like writing stuff in digicode when i have the opportunity to. translation in alt text!

[autisticlalna]

ruby, sapphire... emerald?

(I SWEAR TO GOD I WAS PLANNING TO DRAW THIS DAYS AGO WHEN I FIRST HAD THE IDEA OF "oh what if the other Viking has green eyes to match his compass" AND THEN WAS TOO TIRED TO DRAW BUT THEN TODAY'S LORE HAPPENED AND AAAAAAAAA)

[autisticlalna]

good news guys im drawing again

newest crack theory/headcanon/whatever: the Viking from the planned 100 Days video that woulda introduced V.P. is Navigator! although he doesn't get his iconic green eyes and... his omniscience, i guess? until he goes through the portal. but he already starts off with memories from other realities, so!

quote is something @betweenlands said in chat that i still think is hilarious. Viking does not want to be here let him OUT. HE'S NOT TRAPPED IN THERE WITH THE NARRATIVE, THE NARRATIVE IS TRAPPED IN HERE WITH HIM

[autisticlalna]

i'm gonna be honest, i don't know how to explain Biking Pilog. sometimes you wake up, and you make a typo, and you're in vc with Rubyco while he's setting up for stream, and suddenly he's changed his discord profile in Viking's discord to everyone's new favorite bootleg, and then you make a skin, and then Ruby spends a stream wearing that skin,

and then Viking himself decides to walk up and do lore as Navigator and therefore canonizes the existence of Biking Pilog

[autisticlalna]

someone give Nav either a vacation or a raise. or both.

[autisticlalna]

ace and charm: [talking about nav drawing on himself with sharpie] leo: another viking standing off-screen and blasting navi with a power washer charm: "another viking offscreen" no it's actually just charm going GOD DAMN YOU STOP FUCKING AROUND IN THINGS. PRIME DIRECTIVE OR WHATEVER

i don't have a solid idea for what Navigator looks like when he's not ?possessing? tViking, but he seems like a guy who would enjoy having a scarf. he also seems like a guy who wouldn't enjoy getting sprayed with a hose

reasonings behind songs under the cut!

Sad Machine: "and though i know, since you awakened her again, she depends on you, she depends on you! she'll go alone, and never speak of this again, we depend on you, we depend on you [..] is anyone there? anyone else, anyone else, anyone else-" // this was the opening song on my Dominion Viking playlist! :D i will gladly take the opportunities to do musical callbacks.

History Repeating: "so then what to do when we know what's coming? stay and see it through, or start running? [..] over and over, i know i'm not alone here [..] don't say anything, i know where we've been, and i've got a feeling this is history repeating! when this crashes down i won't be around, 'cause i've got a feeling this is history repeating now!" // there's a time loop joke in here, obviously, what with "history repeating" being very literal. Navigator's involvement in all of this is... interesting? he's omniscient, he knows what's happening, but for once this isn't history repeating like it always has-- something has changed, and everyone needs to make a choice on what to do about it.

I.D.: "now everything inside of me is calling out "are you listening?" [..] i've been keeping this thought that if i spend all my time as what i'm not that i would find it in me to tell you to leave, but here you are and you won't [..] it hasn't been the same since you told me your name" // the way Navigator and Sapphire treat each other is. so much. i keep thinking about Nav telling Sapph he hates talking to them and that they won't speak again. theyre a mismatched pair that almost fit together, but not quite, and the more Sapphire spirals the less Navigator wants to do with her.

The Island / Just Hesitation (HES3 Edit): "what are you waiting for? as we go towards the light" // this is a weird one. Just Hesitation isn't on Spotify, so i had to sub in the song it samples from. which still works! but the intention is for it to be Just Hesitation. i wrote a whole ramble about it as a song and why it has Navigator vibes for me. thanks for coming to my ted talk

Dreamland: "does everybody live in a dreamland? is this dreamland all that we know? [..] i'm tired of feeling like i'll never serve a purpose! future killers, smoke and mirrors, yeah just be yourself! [..] searching the universe for something we can do, and living to fight another day! [..] I GOTTA GET OUT OF THIS WASTELAND, 'CAUSE THIS WASTELAND AIN'T HOME!" // i will readily admit that this is a targeted attack. this also is kinda pulling on my theory about where Navigator came from and what happened to him before TSMP.

On the Run: [instrumental] // this is a bop. also something something why are you running / what are you running from, although i guess right now we don't know if Navigator is running from (or to?) anything.

Nostalgic Vibes: "so many places i could be, sense of adventure got me beat, i've got it, you want me [..] mystery surrounds you, my love, don't just walk away! [..] let me recall for a while, you've got to set me free, yeah" // On the Run, Nostalgic Vibes, and Donderdag are in the segment i like to call "no thoughts just vibes". hope this helps.

Donderdag: [instrumental] // the thing with including instrumentals on these is it's really hard for me to explain why. there's no lyrics to point at and i'm not very articulate when it comes to explaining why instrumentals stand out to me. the vibes are there and it's a nice transition between Nostalgic Vibes and Hydrogenuine.

Hydrogenuine: "care to play a game? this experiment has chemically altered my brain! [..] 11 is the number i seem assigned to, inversions of an opposite truth aligns you, directions like the back of your hand will guide you, i am simply here to assist and remind you! i am simply here to assist and remind you!" // this was on the Viking & Ruby playlist for Navigator purposes and i'm bringing it back. the chorus is what really drives this for me and i cannot let it go. we need more Navigator and Ruby interactions please please please please please

Radar: "trouble on a radar, just gonna fly right under!" // this was a contender for a tViking song (before Navigator was even a thing) but got dropped from the playlist early on. i think it's fun to bring it back for Nav considering him being the warning sign and the thing with tViking going under the radar.

Dreamcatcher: "close my eyes and i'm predictable, i'm invincible, for you [..] i'm afraid i'm not enough. I'M NOT ENOUGH! [..] circles, cycles, why do you torture me? dreamcatcher, i'm falling but not asleep!" // shoutouts to Solar for saying the worlds "circles, cycles" in chat during a Sapphire lore scene and this entire song playing in my head at 2x speed.

WHAT YOU GONNA DO??? - "shiny on the surface, rotten on the inside [..] you got control, got my attention! make me tap and scroll, you got control, you got my attention! you got us listening, so what you gonna do, now what you gonna do with it? [..] so who am i, you decide, inside out you read my mind, what you gonna do with it?" // this is a general TSMP song and one that would've made it onto the Viking & Ruby playlist if i'd thought of it in time. the chorus and ending are peak Navigator vibes, though. "so who am i, you decide" is something i'm calling attention to as a fun meta thing, though, seeing as basically everything about Nav is speculation or in response to something.

ØCULIST: "white noise, i'm tied down from the first time i heard it! so, my sister static, hold on my hardened heart! [..] i can't help but can assist, see through you like an oculist, a universal hologram, these crimes will make you hollow, man!" // i love area 11 but trying to get me to explain how any of their songs relate to the blorbo of the hour is a losing battle.

Redshift: "we accelerate, we separate and fragment! we accelerate, through the estate of outer space! we accelerate! it appears that heaven's been abandoned [..] i climbed down from the wall where i sit and search for a source of light other than our dear sun, the lone star [..] a supergiant erupts into a supernova! the ultimate sacrifice, and we are the descendants!" // Aces asked me a while ago if Redshift is a Navigator song and it was on the "maybe" table for a while. then i went through like 5 different Enter Shikari songs for this playlist and it kept being not-quite-right until i pressed play on Redshift and it all clicked into place. hey, Navigator, how does it feel knowing you're the only one that knows about the missing piece? how does it feel subbing in for space himself? how does it feel being created because someone else is gone?

Don't Try - [Everything Everything Remix]: "the clock is ticking, meanwhile your life, your life is wasting [..] i know you mean a long time, saw your mask in the mirror, and you don't want to be here anymore [..] and yeah there's nothing alright, but you're here and you're glowing, so why you wanna keep it all inside? don't try to hide it!" // this is kinda where my characterization of Navigator starts to settle in, i think. he's tired but obligated to be who he is. plus, y'know, he's having to literally hide his existence, but that's going to fall apart no matter how hard he tries. note: the Spotify lyrics are wrong. there's two versions of this song with completely different lyrics.

Underline the Black: "how can i forget, what reason is left? when i looked at myself, i was somebody else [..] i just look, don't feel like myself at all, i'm just waiting for the axe to fall, and they're still waiting for their lives to start" // another case of "taking some lyrics literally" for the fun of it. tViking being an anomaly and also being the one Navigator is hijacking is a fun combination. there's also whatever Navigator might've been before, and what he's become to fill his role. is there still a way out or is this his life forever? everything's still at the beginning, but he's seen this play out so many times before.

Younger: "lie in wait by the gleaming city gate, try not to lose sight of the mission! [..] moment close at hand, half of you will never understand, and it doesn't really matter [..] it never hurts to give thanks to the navigator, even when he's spitting out random numbers." // another carry-over from the Viking and Ruby playlist, suggested by Charm! Naaaav what is your deaaaaaal

Undercover Agents: "i am currently under construction, thank you for your patience. we veneer, unveil, we present a cold disguise, we're all undercover agents [..] and i said if you want to go far and wide now, we've got to go together! [..] yeah i'm howling, can you hear us now? i was seeking another life and the moon was so bright! [..] it's only in our heads." // using this song in particular is weird for me because it's so heavily ingrained as another character. but that other character has some thematic overlap with Navigator, so it makes sense that the song clicks too.

Mirror: "yeah, do your worst all at once! i know what you want from me, from me, i know what you're thinking! [..] i'm tired of your questioning, you're cut down too easily, i don't know what's good for me, i can't decide [..] you're nearly there, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, it will all be okay in the end" // more Navigator and Sapphire struggling with each other. the ending is kind of their justifications to themselves: they need to keep going because there has to be a light at the end of this somewhere. they can both be free somehow. in the meantime, though, they're going to fight and they're going to tear each other down as much as they build each other up. "you and i are not going to talk again." "i missed talking to you."

Let's Get This Over With: "even when you're out of work, you still have a job to do! even when you don't know what it is, your job knows what it is. what it is, is it's coming to get you, i'm talking to myself even when i'm saying "you" [..] after all the spelling mistakes, after all the groping in the dark, can this page of strange gibberish get a final punctuation mark? [..] everybody knows how this goes, so let's get over it and let's get this over with! hurry up, and let's get this over with! you don't have to go home but you can't stay here!" // GESTURES. NAVIGATOR. BOTTOM TEXT.

navigator "i do not matter" "the last time it went unnoticed, i was created, so" "of course i speak, i'm a person too!" pilot

[autisticlalna]

memory problems mean that i dont remember if ive talked indepth abt my navigator headcanon/au or if ive just referenced it so you guys get Words

so basically the scrapped 100 days video happens, where viking wakes up alone with visions of a machine he has to build using parts of all the builds from other series and the memories of friends he doesnt remember calling out to him. and the entire time he's being stalked by V.P., and is vaguely aware of being watched and like he's been threatened.

he builds the machine and it turns out to be a portal of some sort, turns it on, and jumps through while V.P. chases after him. all the stuff that got outlined in the planning stream.

where things go off the rails and into headcanon/au territory is that viking gets stuck between worlds and becomes Aware of all other versions of himself, as well as his role as space incarnate. with no way to escape the space-between-space, viking resigns himself to be a passive observer and later learns he can influence events by leaving messages and sometimes possessing other vikings if things start veering too off-course.

eventually he gets nicknamed Navigator because of his connection to the compass and his role as "maintainer" of the vikings meaning that he's keeping everyone on track. mostly though he tries to stay out of sight because his very existence raises a lot of questions he isn't ready to answer.

although honestly i havent really done much with this past inception because the line about navigator being "created" keeps sticking in my head and this doesnt really address that. mostly its me connecting dots between "V.P.'s first appearance" and "there's a viking out there with weird multiversal knowledge, navigator exists, what if they were the same guy"
