When under mind control, lines of light with Tectonichus’ command will stream from the optics.

Even the most passive pacifist will succumb to the titan’s call and become violent.

Might be a bit of a strange question, but did you have anything that greatly inspired your colony world Titan?

The fae mostly! I imagined the titan to be a fae queen type of figure. There's a bit of Te Fiti from Moana in how she doesn't talk and relies heavily on something that can be stolen by bad actors (which has happened), but that was more of an afterthought than direct insp. I also was inspired by my oc Blitzlove's lore - titans are heavily involved in her story and this started out as figuring out what her world's titan and colony would be, but I never had any ideas for the longest time--i still technically don't because this current titan idea became its own thing and super distant from what I planned for Blitz XD

Also for the colony in general, as much as I don't like it when a bug is within 5 feet of me and/or in an enclosed space, they're very cool and fascinating, and bugformers are fun to design!

(also I wanna give thanks to @dimorphodon-x's Oardivia/Tectonichus concept because their worldbuilding helped me think about mine ^v^ )

A doodle I've been wanting to do for a few months now

Tectonichus

[dimorphodon-x]

Tec's dormant form, the shape based loosely on some of the weirder ammonite shells. He just drills his tail end into the earth and curls up the rest of himself to sleep for the next some few million years or so.

Tech is such a cutie patootie I could just give him a big ol’ hug.

Probably not a great idea

[dimorphodon-x]

I have had the tiktok audio from your most recent tectonichus tiktok stuck in my head and now i can't take him seriously anymore.

The Lost Light does a bit of universe hopping and ends up stumbling across a very hungry lonely oceanic titan

Someone’s certainly fed up with uninvited ‘guests’

I wanna know more about those titan guardians or the group that takes care of the titans. Do they adopt the personality and nuances of the titan they look after or do they try to get the titan to express themselves in less uh chaotic ways <3

The Titan Maintenance Team (TMT for short) are a small group that were forged specifically to take care of Tectonichus’ frame, and keep him in good health. Whether or not other metrotitans have a team like Tec’s, I can’t say for certain, but I don’t think they do since they’re entirely my own idea, inspired very loosely by whale falls. It’s just kind of in reverse? (Since they’re not scavenging a corpse, they’re keeping this leviathan alive and healthy)

TMT mechs each have their own personalities, so they don’t mimic Tectonichus in behavior or appearance. For example Voidmaw is rough yet motherly, but Slumber is kind yet distant. Two very different individuals from Tec.

It is also not the TMT’s job to actively interact with Tectonichus. For one, none are able to speak with him, having no training nor talent for understanding a titan like a city speaker. Tec has also made little to no effort to engage with his inhabitants ever since his previous speaker was murdered. All the TMT can really do is monitor his functions/activity and repair anything that needs repairing. Nothing more.

Screw giving the man a hug, What about licking the man, claiming it as one's own... l i c k t h e e y e b a l l, h e h a v e n o e y e l i d s

Some unfinished Oardivia drawings that may or may not someday get finished.

Now I can finally draw his stupid coral crown💀

What-if battle mask for Tectonichus

What’s the Deep’s Scream mentioned in event after SailSong’s murder?

It’s the event that took place the same day Sailsong was killed. Tectonichus felt her death, though he has no idea what exactly happened to her.

In his shock and heartbroken dismay, he screamed so loudly, that he shook the entire structure of the cities he supports.
