#that explaisn my own lore for him

[lmelodie]

So for the occasion of my new tablet I spent a good chunk of yesterday just drawing my special lad to get used to the new thing, BUT!!! Past Crystal Springs version!

I have been thinking SO MUCH about the semantics of Kills in CS, especially with the looming figure of Into the Shadows my mind has been GOING. I adore the lore that has already been put forth, but can't stop THINKING!

I think I need like, an actual entire CS timeline if I want to properly figure out overlapping ages/important event points because here's my thoughts:

So, it's possible he was a helping hand in locking up Erebus but the context for how is still a mystery. But it's practically canon that he SOMEHOW willed himself into existence and got himself a body. And I had a delightful thought that he first formed as a shitty, shitty teenager. He is gangly, he is lanky, his face is breaking out and his voice cracks like nothing else.

(I don't think he particularly grew out of some of this teen shittiness, in his maturity, I think he's just lazier, stronger! but also SO tired.)

I would image Sandy is somewhere around the twins' age at this time, not yet a teen, when him and his had (the current Sandman) go about putting Erebus DOWN (and as probably the ONLY time those two have worked together on a shared goal in their LIVES.)

Again, the exact how of his existence is still undecided, I don't think I'm well versed enough in crystal springs world building to make that call. Perhaps the current Sandman at the time gave him a light-life or something similar?? 🤔🤔 (in that specific case, modern day, he lies his ASS off and just says he willed himself into existence.) I don't know! He also could've just formed as a full adult! Anything could be possible!
