thinkim about ur fan colony,, mayhaps have a crumb of lore? even if just a lil' to keep me going thru these troublesom times, hope you u have a good day!

Thalamhan, in comparison to other cybertronian colonies, is fairly young. Danuas was among the first titans to take to space, but among the last to find a planet for themselves. This is because she traveled further than most, to the far reaches of the galaxy where no other titan had gone, and she was very picky about what planet she would settle down in. The planet she chose was known to other life forms as Feyeri-7, but it would come to be named Elthame by its future inhabitants. When she landed on it, she began to burrow deep down into its earth until she brushed its molten mantle and fell into her slumber. The first Thalamites were born soon after—it’s unknown if there were cybertronians who had settled down on the planet with her, as if there were, they’ve been lost to history.

Danuas didn’t have a cityspeaker for a long time, not as the vibrant and lush caverns she had burrowed through or created in her wake were being discovered and settled in by her first generation. Thalamites may have not been aware of her existence even, not until one of them (re)discovered the titan and fully felt their connection with her. They awakened the rest of the Thalamites to Danuas soon after, and all were immediately devoted to the one who had gifted them with their life and home. It’s still unknown how Coru became the first real cityspeaker, but he was among the oldest.

The discovery of natural ununtrium veins would come further in the future.

I was also wondering if you're incorporating other languages to name places and stuff like the same way you did with Thalamhan with Irish?

I might! At the very least, I’ve been playing with the idea of incorporating different writing systems. Angelic text might lean more towards an alphabetical system, while Demonic text would lean more toward an abugida system. Both languages are meant to be mutually intelligible (like Scots/English, Dutch/Afrikaans, etc), so there would be some overlap

Haven’t drawn this mech in months, have him again <3

Belongs to Thalamhan made by —> @cuppajj

Did a bit more practice with CSP’s perspective ruler and drew a room in Hymnios’ home. Definitely should be a lot more cluttered, but by then I would’ve probably died 💀

Maybe I’ll color it later on but I really do not feel like doing that right now.

Hymnios is an inhabitant of @cuppajj’s Thalamhan

Meet Clemyntie! A young butterfly on Thalamhan. This original character is mine, Thalamhan belongs to @cuppajj ^^

Clemyntie’s whole body except his face is dark gray, while his face is basically white. Any jewelry he wears is gold and shining. His scarf/shawl is a black with gold sparkles all around. His armour is a lighter gray than his body, but still darker than his face. His visor is a medium blue, more exactly #1F456E.

Clemyntie is a model through and through. From a younger age, he expressed interest in the modelling industry and had become one as soon as he was able.

Though, through his mostly soft smiles and quiet demeanour, Clemyntie hates socializing and interaction. It was clear in his first few interviews and modelling parts that he was a ‘Look but don’t touch’ model, and most respect that. Despite modelling being his first job, he does dabble in paints and creating jewelry for other young models like himself.

This is Vindex, a Rainbow scarab beetle bugformer

Meet her under the cut!

Normally, female Scarab beetles do not grow horns, however in her case, she did, but it is small.

She was once an avid explore, wanting to know the wonders of the far depths of the unexplored, and the (possible) surface of Thalamhan, however duty came first and she became a city guard.

Her weapons are scythes that connect at the ends (think Death from Puss and boots TLW)

her colours are that of (majority)blacks and greens, lights make it shimmer rainbow iridescence! 

The cloth is black and the (all)star shapes are white!

i dont have much on her, so this is all i got for the time being!

Vindex is my oc but her homeworld, Thalamhan belongs to @cuppajj​ !!

I remember vaguely you talking about a fiddle like stringed instrument being pretty coveted in Thalamhan. who do you see usually working to make these instruments? do they use organic materials like wood?

Yep, the violin is sacred to Thalamhan because of its spiritual connection to Danuas (when she “speaks,” the sounds she makes are violinlike), and first cityspeaker as he was a violinist.

Making violins is a special job carried out in two parts: first you have the arbor farmers who cut down a special kind of tree that grows in the cave, and they refine it into carvable material. Then they deliver the wood to the fiddle carvers who usually live close by, and they’re the ones who create the instrument. It’s a renown job with a lot of business, so they’re pretty busy! Most violins come from Loc Faore as it’s the most agricultural city, but Danann violins are the highly treasured and expensive ones. Over half the colony have played the violin at some point in their life because of its cultural significance, and even some Menders are violinists ^^

Maybe I will go all in. Maybe I will extend Thalamhan to include freshwater life too… if Thalamites are mostly fae inspired and there is water underground, then what is stopping me from putting undines/asrai under that umbrella

[cuppajj]

question out of my curiosity as I was reading through the thalamhan tag, I apologize if this has been already answered or mentioned before but how does the texture of their plating work exactly? for example, will the floraformers' plating/alt mode feel & act exactly like flowers or is it just hard/soft metal? this was a very interesting thought for me because it could be either, although it probably won't make sense even if they have evolved over time in the planet.

All Thalamites are made of metal, just with varying degrees of softness. The Menders are the softest, while normal Thalamites are relatively the same in texture as their Cybertronian counterparts. Beetleformers such as Titan’s Guard have the hardest metal, while beastformers who have fur feel like fiber optics. They haven’t evolved in terms of physical appearance, only their diet and has changed from normal to hypersweet energon.

Ocorus and Ostalacht stand out to me the most, I’m thinking of one but I could swap between both since they’re names Thalamites gave him and not his actual name

Thinking of names for the centipede darklander I drew last month, and here's what I have right now:

Ocrua/Ocora/Ocorus/Coras [Play on Ocras (hunger)]

Olphocras [play on Ocras and Ollphéist (monster)]

Ostalacht/Stalocht [Play on Ocras and ag stalcaireacht (stalking)]

something else

A little lore related thing I've been thinking about is that things and Thalamites with irish inspired names are were more common in older generations, sort of how older human generations had different naming conventions. Newer Thalamite naming conventions lean more towards nature and sound, mostly in their own Thalamite language (but some can sound irish or english). Gealach (irish for moon) was an older Thalamite so they have that style of name, while Tympani who's a lot younger has a more modern Thalamite name. Ofc some older thalamites can and did have newer sounding names (Coru named himself after a flower), but all of this is to say that centipede boy is older than he looks

[cuppajj]

Honestly reading taao has got me thinking about SLLAU and Thalamhan again, but it’s just too awful that I’ve been swamped with work all month else id have something to do about it 🥺

[cuppajj]

oh lordy I’m thinking thalamhan thoughts

[cuppajj]

Why not draw your tf bug au? It's just a thought-

If you're talking about Thalamhan then yes, that's one of the main things I want to get back into! There are some things I still want to talk about but the main problem is that I want my drawing motivation to be at the same level too. I have a lot of things about thalamhan i want to draw but so little juice right now XD

[cuppajj]

mk nowhere close to what i meant but im glad you're not thinking bout it anyway

its fine that you gettin into cookie run i just hope theres still room for da tf blorbos

Yeah I have no idea what you’re talking about lmao but yeah there’s still room for TF! I don’t really drop one fandom for another, ive been in a lull period with TF because ive been more focused on verse versa content over on Nova than anything recently. But I still have a lot of stuff I want to get back to like new ideas for drill, SLLAU, Thalamhan, fowau, etc - I also really want to reread mtmte

[cuppajj]

Got a little wave of inspiration so have a little guy I don’t plan on doing anything with lol

They're so cute, I love the design and the mushroom is adorable! ;w; here's a sketch of them with the newspark from the other picture

[cuppajj]

The Menders are Thalamites who turn into flora, tasked with arguably the most important job in the entire colony: overseeing the development and care of Thalamite newsparks. They are a tightly-knit community who live in the Nursery, a massive grove full of trees with pods in which Thalamites are forged in. Menders always know when newsparks are set to emerge from their pods, and thus they are always there to welcome them into the world. They are peaceful and soft spoken, and they are devout to the titan. Their community operates completely separate from greater Thalamhan; Menders never leave the Nursery, so they farm their own food and make their own fabrics, all for themselves and the newborn Thalamites in their care. They never see the outside world, but they’re content with it, always dedicated to preparing the young to find their place in it. After a Thalamite leaves the Nursery, they can never go back, and the Mender never sees them ever again. It can be hard, since they can become attached to the little ones, but they know it’s all part of their role as the caretakers of new life.
