waking from torpor

redraw of a concept ive done twice already. i think this will be my last finished piece of the year :)

ive mentioned before that the decades long torpor orchidee experiences is the result of her fucking up a drought tyche taught her to make. its not really something meant for unicorns to imbibe, and she gets the measurements wrong because shes… bad at a lot of things. so, being in a state of suspended animation paired with hunkering down in a spot already full of the dead allows her to avoid the stampede as it happens. i think its funny to imagine her buttoning herself into her little nightgown, saying "well when i wake up in a week or so eubora will be gone home and ill be able to save cybele properly this time," and instead she sleeps through a mass death event that takes place the next morning. and then keeps sleeping. you could argue that the stampede also affected how long she stayed asleep

i have some thoughts about why it is that her living space didnt become EXTREMELY decroded while she slept. i want to say that as a unicorn she kinda kept the living area around her "fresh" by virtue of unicorns keeping dead things alive. maybe its a matter of deciding how storybook i want my unicorns to be. the hardiness of unicorns is perhaps why her physique changes so dramatically to keep from wasting away. taking on ambient magic or energy from the air to sustain herself. like a bear in hibernation, i guess. and then she just maintains that weight after she wakes up. that explanation needs work if i dont want it to be corny

how does orchidee react when she wakes up? with the franticness of someone who realizes theyre late for work. she immediately sets about tidying the house and clearing it of creepy-crawlies, dirt, and leaf litter. the book in her storage chest reminds her what her name is, and by the days end (or weeks end) shes sheared her hair short to keep it out of her way. she has no curiosity about how she ended up there, where her scars came from, and why no one else seems to inhabit the forest. her attitude is, "fuck, i fell asleep and my house got fucked up. time to fix it. god damn it." shes a very willfully ignorant and uncurious girl post-torpor

drawing this made me realize its time to draw the outside and inside of orchidees hut, immediate yard, and root cellar. its on my to-do list after her new ref is done, and then i got some anime fanart i want to work on as well… see you in 2025!
