Hey, look at me. I'll trust you. If you do me a favor. Start trusting yourself. Just a little bit.

Love these Empire Kids. Trust is so hard and they’re doing their best.

Happy 6th Anniversary to this detail that made me emotional.

hi! I absolutely love your art and I get so happy when I see it come up on my feed! 🥰

if I can ask, why does cyra use a cane sometimes? I just saw your art where gale and cyra are with their newborn and cyra is walking with their toddler and she has a cane and I was curious.

have a good day! 😁💚

thank you so much!!!

i don't think i've said much about it other than 'she almost died' aksdhsh but everything went very wrong when the first one was born and she got sepsis, which can really fuck you up long term and she developed chronic fatigue.

she definitely tells the children that she's got a sword hidden inside it

me still chewing on this (i say, apropos of nothing), but it's hard to find the exact words i want to use when i say that emmrich has the vibe of a badly socially adjusted homeschooler? that he's sheltered? i think it's because there's an inherent awkwardness in how he approaches other people - specifically most of the conversations he has with everyone in the lighthouse - verses how he talks to, like, myrna and vorgoth.

i absolutely don't think it's a lack of confidence, at all, when talking to, say, neve or davrin or even rook, but with some of the things he asks, it's clear he can't parse the reasonings for some things? like...they're outside of his realm of experience, or are clearly a bad idea to someone else, or require a certain social understanding he lacks, so he comes across as naive when he's not. he's just...sheltered.

compared to how his conversations with myrna and vorgoth vibe, where he's clearly speaking from a place of experience and knowledge. it sounds less like he's got this really neat factoid he wants to share - because he doesn't have to frame it in that way, there's an understanding between them - and there is some...i guess speaking with authority that he might lack in other things.

Have I ever posted my Water Narrator thoughts?

For a while, I’ve thought of the use of Water as symbolism for The Narrator, in and out of game context

I think these thoughts are most reasonable when looking at The Skip Button Ending and The Epilogue. In The Skip Button ending when The Narrator first sees a bad review they (Stanley and The Narrator) go outside to see that it’s starting to rain. This continues the duration they spend outside, The Narrator’s stirring mind evident by the distant thunder and as we get closer to the edge of the land we see a large ocean. And what rises out of it? The Narrator’s newest creation, The Skip Button. With this all happening it wouldn’t be outlandish to associate The Narrator and the water outside. Once Stanley’s inside the concrete room we are taken away from the water over time. It dries up along with The Narrator and at the end of those many years we’re left with a tundra; a desert that hasn’t seen water in years. And The Epilogue doesn’t dispute this, the only life we see being Stanley and TK

More into my personal thoughts, The Narrator is vast like the ocean we see. All encompassing; he surrounds his story (a comic I made that slightly echos these ideas).

It rains when he cries, it boils when he’s angry, the clouds fly as he breathes

I talk ab this a tiny bit more in the tags of this post (warning: he’s a bit naked) (ignore the last tag um)

i saw a post saying boom was good bc it feels like it could be done with any doctor/companion duo and honestly that was one of the things i felt was wrong with it

[floorpancakes]

if you're wondering where i am rn im thinking about this extremely fucked up moment again

IDK MAN its so incredibly fucked up cause there's this shared doom of 'im going to lose my humanity and everyone i love and itll become a beautiful story but it could turn people against me just from me being alive and even if it doesn't ill lose them anyway and it could make me act out of sorts to keep them here and make them stay and that human need will warp who i am contrarily making me less human' like they were cooking w this. cooking a miserable miserable misery soup but cooking

i have a question about the other subjects that were experimented on by cyrus james. are all of their threads for relationships/emotions, or are there other types of threads? like i had an idea of a related character where she can see threads connected to people’s limbs and can manipulate their movements through the threads, like a puppeteer. what other types of threads would people be able to see? hope you’re having a good weekend!! :)

Ooh-ooooooh, so I can sort of get into this one!

Most subjects can generally only see threads for relationships/emotional connections, to the extent that everyone in Project Beagle is pretty sure these are the only connections a subject can see. In part this is because these emotions are often the... idk how to describe it, the 'loudest' basically (even if it's visual and not auditory unless you're someone with no sight). Love is loud, so very loud, that it's often the easiest thing to see, even when it's still being born (yellow), even when it's only one-sided (green), even when we find ourselves loving something inanimate (blue), the land (brown), and everything in between (white). Love, emotion, attachment has such power that what the third eye often resonates with the easiest are these colors.

But.

But.

This doesn't rule out other types of threads. This is just what's seen most commonly. I could definitely see there being threads tied to limbs! Or what someone might call fate threads - something I initially toyed with adding in and then tossed. Those would basically be threads connecting you to whoever you're destined to do Something Big with. It's not always love, or attachment (though it can be), but it's just that your fate is tangled with theirs at some distant point in the future - think a firefighter who'll save your life, or the person who's going to accidentally run you over with their car. And while I'd probably never get into it because holy shit that would be difficult to manage, I can absolutely see there being timeline threads that someone could see, sort of an underpowered version of a Timelord where they can't see the entire future but they can pull up some of the timeline threads for the next few minutes and see what might happen!

Also I love that idea, let me know if you go through with it! Thank you so, so much, I had a lovely weekend, too, and I hope you did as well!

Sorry I waited for the rain.

You can’t hold a heart but you can hold someone’s interest or their gaze See their wicked and their vulnerable and choose not to turn away You can hear every reincarnation of their voice in every shade Feel their pulse tether to the tender of your touch Taste the inside of their mouth when the thickness of I love you gets lodged inside their throat You can hold entire days of their life within the universe of your body Hold their body as it shakes through the pleasure and the pain

You can’t hold a heart but you can hold your lover’s fist in the space between your hands Hold until they feel safe enough to open up again
