The sketchy versions of the chibi plantbeasts going on Torch's ref! Again these were a little wonky because his form is canonically variable and it is CONSTANTLY growing and shifting around. It is legitimately difficult for several characters to look at for any length of time. These two are the most common base forms but he can take others, for example, a deer. Sometimes he grows antlers, sometimes he gets legs or extra legs, sometimes he gets a proper tail, flowers and trees can grow on him, sometimes the snake base doesn't even have leaves ~ could get a lot of different features depending on how long he's been transformed. Given long enough his forms always seem to converge on 'dragon'.

Some other fun facts:

-He can speak but his voice just emanates from his body in the general vicinity of his head. The snake base's head is solid; he CAN open it but its a splintery mess

-The planteater form starts off roughly the size of a large horse. He is mostly hollow. This form is big enough to be used as a mount and other characters HAVE ridden him (with permission) ~ this form is the ideal mode of transportation for certain types of difficult terrain, such as a swamp. Once he gets bigger more people can hop on. He grows pretty fast but they can speed it up with certain types of magic buffs.

-Once he is fully transformed like this it's actually a bit of an ordeal to get his normal body back as it's not as simple as "just reverse the process". He has to try to balance if the situation is worth losing his regular body for a bit or if he can get away with partial transformations (like just an arm for example)

This is Vern, she's the fifth member of the light elementals, but only on paper really, since she keeps to herself. She values her alone time above all else. She can also manipulate beams of sunlight. Vern is very gifted at destroying your entire self worth with just as little as a look and a snide comment. But don't worry!

Some would say that underneath her reclusive standoffishness, monstrous sense of self-importance, false smiles, and a severe apathy for anything not directly affecting her, is a fragile soul who's actually just scared to get hurt.

Boo hoo I say.

It feels almost weird to me that I really struggle to compute HDG as a horror-adjacent setting like so many others do. I know that there is an inherent power imbalance in the vast majority of relationships within the setting, and that can easily lend itself to a feeling of dawning horror when the protagonist realizes that they are inherently powerless against whatever is about to happen to them, but ultimately the setting just... isn't very scary to me in the way that it seems to be for so many others.

Maybe it's because I haven't read as many of the more extreme horror-adjacent entries, or maybe its because the other settings in which I write are so much more bleak, but its just not why I come to HDG to write. Ultimately when I'm writing in HDG, there's an inherent positive slant to what I'm writing, because there's this idea that ultimately by the end of the story the characters will be in a better place than where they started. It might take forced drugging or brainwashing or any number of potentially horrific things to get them there, but at least in my estimation its ultimately going to be for their own benefit?

And again, maybe I just need to read some of the darker things folks have written, I know there's a handful of works by certain writers that are apparently much more extreme in how the dynamics between characters work, but ultimately HDG as a setting is one of wish fulfillment, both for submissives, dominants, and those in between. I can't see it as anything but hopeful, even if sometimes the big plants are quite scary.

God the Ba Matoran, De Matoran give me nothing to work with. Anyways, Here are some secondary element Matoran. The names are made from Maori words like lightning, or iron, or gun etc. or are the word itself. I did this to make the names fit with the other Matoran names.

Pehaan, Taumah and Taika the Ba Matoran archaeological team.

Villagers of Bo Koro Huaa, Kaiw and Taiiao, with Huna Jaga’s.

Villagers of Ce Koro Iinen, Mohio and Mahaara and her Swamp Bat.

Villagers of De Koro Waahan, Paoroo and Komu, featuring Beaked climbers.

Villagers of Fe Koro Terino, Maroa and Nynrah Ghosts Heepu.

Su Matoran construction workers Kirika, Anana and Kitere.

Villagers of Vo Koro Hiiko, Uirra and Whatiri.

The Fa Matoran Aukum with his Ussal Ceaba, Autio and Haurua.

Any thoughts?

Since atla is again having an extra surge of popularity, I'm shooting my shot:

[ID: (Rest of image description in alt). At the bottom of the image sits the text: "Zuko: Okay. Well, I can't remember how it starts, but the punchline is "leaf me alone, I'm bushed."" ID end].

Did we ever find out what the setup for this joke was? I feel kinda haunted by it. If not- anyone wanna make their best or worst guesses?

edit: I now know what "I'm bushed" mean, but go ahead anyway 👍

have been making this whilst listening to final part device theory for deltarune. Strongly recommend giving it a go. I’ve yet to finalise some of the colours here so this is still def a wip.
