Hello! I’m quite new here and have done some reading up, but is there anywhere that explains what the AU is about / could you explain? Only if you don’t mind of course. (I love learning about others’ AUs.)

Also: -pokes PK’s belly-

oh absolutely! be prepared though, this is going to be a long one. also an important note: i can't write, so i haven't written any fics about this, which means many details can change/develop over time as it's something i think about 24/7, but i'll try to write down what i currently have in mind and what i'm more or less confident with

so the gist of the au is that pk went into hibernation in the dream realm, as opposed to dying as he (presumably) does in canon, and then moved to dirtmouth with hornet and hollow. but there's many aspects of the au that trace way back into his past, so i'll go over those first if you want to learn more. i will put a "keep reading" divider here cause it's going to be quite long haha

pk was always an outcast among other wyrms, he was born a runt and had no physical strength for playfighting with the other hatchlings, for which he was often mocked. instead, he preferred to quietly observe and study things, which is how he got interested in mortal bugs. yes, they were food, wyrms are a carnivorous species after all, but he felt it was wrong to treat them as just fodder, like the other members of his kind did. he wanted to create, not destroy, and he wanted to share it with the mortals, as he saw parts of himself in them and wanted to help them reach their full potential

wyrms as a species were highly territorial, so that and the fact that they could reproduce in litters and increase their population numbers ended up being their downfall, as their constant fights over territory became more and more violent, causing them to start killing each other much more frequently. this constant aggression caused their numbers to decrease over time, and eventually they disappeared. that is when pk decided to claim the territory that later became hallownest as his own, and abandoned his form in favor of something more approachable. he met the white lady, married her, and granted the most intelligent bugs in hallownest sapience, leading to the creation of the kingdom

it didn't take long until the cracks began to show. he wasn't used to getting this much attention, so when the bugs started worshiping him, he began hiding in his workshop, away from everyone, having doubts about his self-worth and whether he can live up to those expectations. alas, the worship he received lead to the moths abandoning the radiance, and the start of the infection. he promised himself he wouldn't fail the kingdom, and so he started looking for ways to stop it, eventually deciding on the vessel plan. he's always had doubts about it, but it was his last resort and he didn't have much time, so he had to try. and thus hollow was born, the vessel that was able to climb up the abyss, proving their strength and claiming the title of the hollow knight. unfortunately for pk, as much as he kept reminding himself that the vessels had no emotion or thought, that they weren't supposed to be children, the truth is that he got attached, as his parental instincts told him to do. with this realization, came intense guilt about all of the vessels, something which would haunt him from that point on, made even worse with the cryptic signs he saw in his dreams warning him of hallownest's downfall (this is how his foresight ability works in my au)

but he had to proceed with the plan, he had no other choice, and that prompted the bargain with herrah and the birth of hornet. he immediately got attached, all his instincts which he had to repress with hollow have finally found an outlet. hornet became the light of his life, and they grew extremely close, especially after herrah went to sleep, as pk made sure to be here for her at all times, taking the role of both her father and mother (and going as far as killing and decapitating xero in a blind feral rage when he threatened her). unfortunately, all the guilt about the vessels led to him and the white lady separating down the line, as even just looking at each other caused both of them immense pain. so after that, and after hollow was sealed in the temple of the black egg, it was just him and hornet, which made their bond even stronger as they were the only family each of them had left

but as we know, the plan failed, and the infection returned. this caused pk to completely break down, all his fears and guilt piling up, making him unable to do anything. he wouldn't leave his palace room, he wouldn't do his duties as the king, he was as good as dead. hornet was away at the hive at the time, training with queen vespa and her knights, so she wasn't there when pk's breakdown lead to his disappearance, although she noticed there was something bothering him long before that, he just never talked about it with her. she was shocked to learn that he was gone, and after a period of blaming herself for not being there for him, she grew bitter and angry about the fact that he left her all alone with no word

the reason for his disappearance was hibernation. this is a process that is extremely rare among wyrms, as it's caused by intense distress and fracturing of the mind, and for such a violent species, death often comes way before that point. it's essentially a rebirth, a complete reset of their mind and memories that allows them to continue. in the case of pk, this process was interrupted by ghost, which caused him to lose all of his powers. no powers meant that he wasn't able to sustain himself with soul, and had to find actual food, so he left the white palace behind in the dream realm (while he was able to exit it, he had no means of entering it again) and spent the next few weeks running around hallownest and surviving off of tiktiks and other non-sapient bugs. he wanted to be forgotten, so he avoided any interaction with bugs who still lived there (as a side note, i quite like the idea of him defacing statues of himself, in an effort to make them unrecognizable and to show that he never deserved them in the first place. so you'd find old statues of the pale king with their faces scratched away or horns broken off, and any king's idols you'd encounter would be shattered into pieces)

hornet was not aware that her father was back until she heard zote's panicked warning about a "white monster with a crown who killed and ate bugs" after he ran into pk in greenpath. she had to go and check herself, as she had a feeling the description matched someone she had known before, and she was correct. after stumbling upon pk in greenpath, and following a brief angry exchange, she decided to take him with her to dirtmouth, where he met hollow. seeing hollow forgive their father made hornet realize that she also wants to give him a second chance, as despite her anger, she did miss him a lot

this is also where grimm comes into play, as he and his troupe remained in dirtmouth after the ritual was interrupted by ghost's disappearance in godhome. grimm and pk met years ago, not long after the kingdom was first created, and over time became close friends, which evolved into something more, though neither of them admitted it at the time. their reunion in dirtmouth caused all of those feelings to spark up again, leading to them starting a relationship

all of the sins of the past still greatly affect pk. his fear of failure makes him terrified of making even the smallest mistakes, he's prone to panicking and apologizing for even the most insignificant matters, and he's frequently haunted by nightmares of the vessels, his failure to save the kingdom and all the pain he caused his family. then there's the more feral side of him, something which he tried to repress while he was a king, and now embraces as part of his new life (he is cringe but he is free...). moreover, he's ashamed of his mistakes, and refuses to let anyone call him "the pale king", choosing to go by the name "wyrm" instead. he's grateful for the second chance he was given, he wants to do better and be a good father, especially to hollow, but he's still emotionally broken. hornet's anger with him sours their relationship and makes it much more difficult for them to get as close as they used to, but i definitely see it improving over time, as they still love each other dearly, there's just a lot of emotional baggage both of them have to deal with first

i think that's basically it for the backbone of the au, it all leads to the point i'm at now: exploring the character dynamics, thinking of where they're going to go next, introducing more side characters (i still want to include quirrel, just thinking about his potential design and how he's going to fit in), making up silly non-canon scenarios, and so on. i want to eventually make a doc file, or something of that sort, detailing each character and the au in general. i picture it as kind of like fandom wiki articles, with personality descriptions, backstories and relationships included, just to keep it all neatly organized (and maybe suitable to share in public haha)

i apologize if this is all hard to get through, i tend to ramble quite a lot and, again, i'm not good at writing, so this is closer to an incoherent mess than an actual story overview, but i hope it's somewhat enjoyable to read. do feel free to ask any questions if you want to learn more! i always enjoy responding to them, plus it helps painting a clearer, more consistent picture of the au in my head :)

Magna Ge \ Магне-Ге

"Magnus is the sun, the largest hole in Oblivion, and the gateway to magic. Magnus was present at the creation of the mortal plane, and, in fact, was its architect (Lorkhan was its advocate and inspiration). Prehistoric (before ME2500, startyear) Nirn was a magical place, and highly unstable to the first mortals. Magnus then left, some say in disgust, and Oblivion filled in the void with the Void. His escape was not easy, and tatters of Magnus remain in the firmament as stars." ― Cosmology

The Magna Ge, also known as Magne-Ge, Children of Magnus, or Star Orphans, are a group of Et'Ada who followed Magnus into Aetherius when he fled Mundus during the Dawn Era. Whereas Magnus tore a hole through Oblivion into Aetherius which later became the sun, the Magne Ge tore smaller holes which became the stars. The Magna Ge are now synonymous with the stars which they had created. Some say what is left of Magnus on the world is felt and controlled by mortals as magic.

According to Mankar Camoran, they are attributed to secretly creating Mehrunes Dagon in the bowels of Lyg.

The existence of Magna-Ge under the names Mnemo-Li (Mnemoli, "Blue Star"), Merid-Nunda and Xero-Lyg, who escaped from Magnus, is known reliably.

Merid-Nunda became what is now called Meridia. It is known that she was associated with Magnus, the god of light, more than any other.

«Meridia was in some times associated with the Sun Magnus. The best known source of this association is the treatise Merid-nunda, openly depicting Meridia as the willful solar daughter, banished from heaven for her relationship with unauthorised spectra» ― The imperial censure of the Daedric Lords

Mnemoli only appears in the skies above Nirn during a period of no-time. There is some special mnemonic magic associated with it.

«...Special mention should be made of the Blue Star, called "Mnemoli" by the Alesstics, which passes through this part of Aurbis every untimely time. The Psijiks regard it with great reverence, and many of their brethren make pilgrimages to Velot as it approaches, for when it passes, flames engulf the mountain there. The mountain is regarded as one of the last safe havens of the Dwemers before they disappear from this world...» ― Vivek, The Book of Hours.

It is possible that the Star of Azura (the Twilight Star, which briefly appears in the sky under the constellation of the Horse when the sun hangs low above the horizon) is connected with Mnemoli, for Azura is the patroness of the Psijic Order and the Forerunner of the Sotha Sil, one of the best known of them.

«...According to the texts, Mnemoli is the willful child of ANU, one of a pantheon of forgotten deities known as the Star Orphans... a family of gods and goddesses who no doubt felt abandoned when the Sun retreated from the Creation World. Like many of her brothers and sisters, Mnemoli was both baffled and fascinated by Aurbis, and explored his five quarters as thoroughly as she could (...)» ― Vivek, The Book of Hours

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Магнус - это солнце, самая большая дыра в Забвении и врата в магию. Магнус присутствовал при создании плана смертных и, фактически, был его архитектором (Лорхан был его защитником и вдохновителем). Доисторический (до ME2500, звездный год) Нирн был магическим местом и очень нестабильным для первых смертных. Затем Магнус ушел, некоторые говорят, с отвращением, и Обливион заполнил пустоту Пустотой. Его побег был нелегким, и обрывки Магнуса остались на небосводе в виде звезд". ― Космология

Магне-Ге, также Магна Ге — что в переводе означает «Дети Магнуса» (следует понимать как «последователи Магнуса») и «Звёздные Сироты». Это группа эт'Ада, которые были «рождены» из чистой крови Ану. Магне-Ге, в отличие от аэдра, не стали жертвовать своим бессмертием ради Нирна, и, вслед за Магнусом, покинули его вскоре после создания. Уходя в Этериус, они прорвали завесу Обливиона, тем самым создавая звёзды (дыры в завесе, через которые свет Этериуса и магия созвездий попадают на план смертных, влияя на жизнь всех живущих в Нирне).

Достоверно известно о существовании Магне-Ге под именами Мнемо-Ли (Мнемоли, «Синяя Звезда»), Мерид-Нунда и Ксеро-Лиг, сбежавших от Магнуса.

Мерид-Нунда стала той, кого ныне зовут Меридия. Известно, что она больше других была связана с Магнусом, богом света.

Меридия в некоторые времена ассоциировалась с Солнцем Магнусом. Наиболее известным источником такой связи является трактат „Мерид-нунда“, открыто изображающий Меридию в роли своенравной солнечной дочери, изгнанной с небес за отношения с недозволенными спектрами — Имперский ценз Даэдрических Лордов

Мнемоли появляется в небе над Нирном лишь в период безвременья. С ней связана некая особая мнемолическая магия.

…Особого упоминания заслуживает Синяя Звезда, которую Алесстики называют „Мнемоли“, что проходит через эту часть Аурбиса каждое безвременье. Псиджики относятся к ней с большим благоговением, а многие из их братии проделывают паломничество в Велот при её приближении, потому что когда она пролетает, тамошнюю гору охватывает пламя. Эта гора считается одним из последних прибежищ двемеров перед их исчезновением из этого мира… — Вивек, «Книга Часов»

Возможно, Звезда Азуры (Сумеречная Звезда, на короткое время появляющаяся на небе под созвездием Коня, когда солнце висит низко над горизонтом) связана с Мнемоли, ибо Азура — покровительница псиджиков и Предтеча Соты Сила, одного из известнейших среди них.

…согласно текстам, Мнемоли — своенравное дитя АНУ, одна из пантеона забытых божеств, известных как „Звёздные Сироты“… семейства богов и богинь, что, несомненно, почувствовали себя покинутыми, когда Солнце Отступило от Миро-Создания. Как и многие её братья и сёстры, Мнемоли была одновременно сбита с толку и восхищена Аурбисом, и исследовала пять его четвертей так тщательно, как только могла(…) — Вивек, «Книга Часов»

How to Create Data-Driven Dashboards for Better Decision Making

In today’s fast-paced business world, data is the key to making informed decisions. Data-driven dashboards allow organizations to visualize and interpret complex datasets, turning raw numbers into actionable insights. By creating dashboards that highlight key performance indicators (KPIs), trends, and patterns, businesses can improve decision-making processes and achieve their goals more efficiently.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to create effective data-driven dashboards and share best practices to ensure they deliver value to your organization.

What is a Data-Driven Dashboard?

A data-driven dashboard is a visual representation of key metrics and data points that provide users with an at-a-glance overview of performance. These dashboards pull data from various sources and present it in charts, graphs, and tables to make complex information easier to understand.

Dashboards help:

Monitor performance in real-time.

Identify trends and patterns.

Make data-driven decisions.

Communicate insights to stakeholders.

A well-designed dashboard is more than just a collection of charts — it’s a tool that helps users make better decisions by providing relevant, actionable insights.

Define Your Goals and Audience

Before you start building a dashboard, it’s essential to define your goals and understand who will be using the dashboard. Ask yourself:

What decisions will the dashboard support?

Who will be using the dashboard?

What data is most relevant to those users

For example, a marketing team may need a dashboard that tracks campaign performance, while a finance team may focus on revenue and expenses. Understanding the end-users’ needs will help you design a dashboard that delivers the right information in the right format.

Choose the Right Metrics

Selecting the right metrics is crucial for creating a meaningful dashboard. Avoid overwhelming users with too much data. Instead, focus on KPIs that align with your business goals.

Here are some tips for selecting metrics:

Relevance: Choose metrics that directly impact your goals.

Clarity: Ensure metrics are easy to understand.

Actionability: Focus on metrics that can drive decisions and actions.

For example, a sales dashboard might include:

Total sales revenue

Conversion rates

Average deal size

Sales pipeline status

On the other hand, a customer service dashboard might track:

Customer satisfaction scores

Average response time

Number of open tickets

First-contact resolution rate

Gather and Connect Data Sources

To create a data-driven dashboard, you need to connect your dashboard tool to relevant data sources. Common data sources include:

CRM systems (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot)

Analytics platforms (e.g., Google Analytics)

Financial tools (e.g., QuickBooks, Xero)

Spreadsheets and databases

Many dashboard tools offer built-in integrations with popular data sources, making it easy to pull in real-time data. Ensure that your data sources are accurate, reliable, and up-to-date to maintain the integrity of your dashboard.

Choose the Right Dashboard Tool

There are various tools available for creating dashboards, ranging from simple spreadsheet-based tools to advanced business intelligence (BI) platforms. Some popular options include:

Tableau: A powerful BI tool for creating interactive dashboards.

Power BI: Microsoft’s BI tool that integrates with Excel and other Microsoft products.

Google Data Studio: A free tool for creating customizable dashboards using Google data sources.

Looker: A cloud-based platform for building data-driven dashboards.

Excel/Google Sheets: Suitable for basic dashboard creation.

Choose a tool that aligns with your budget, technical skills, and data needs. If your team is already familiar with a specific tool, it’s often easier to stick with what they know.

Design Your Dashboard Layout

The layout of your dashboard is critical for ensuring users can quickly find and interpret information. Here are some best practices for dashboard design:

1. Keep it Simple

Avoid clutter and focus on the most important metrics. Use white space to create a clean, organized look.

2. Use Visual Hierarchy

Place the most important information at the top of the dashboard where users are likely to look first. Use larger fonts and more prominent colors for key metrics.

3. Choose the Right Visualizations

Different types of data require different visualizations. Here are some common chart types and their best use cases:

Bar Chart: Compare values across categories.

Line Chart: Show trends over time.

Pie Chart: Show proportions or percentages.

Table: Display detailed data in a structured format.

Gauge Chart: Show progress toward a goal.

4. Use Consistent Colors and Fonts

Maintain consistency in colors, fonts, and styles to create a cohesive look. Use color strategically to highlight important data points.

Add Interactivity

Interactive dashboards allow users to filter and drill down into the data to find specific insights. Adding interactivity can make your dashboard more engaging and useful.

Some common interactive features include:

Filters: Allow users to view data for specific time periods, regions, or categories.

Drill-Downs: Enable users to click on a metric to see more detailed data.

Hover Effects: Show additional information when users hover over a data point.

Interactive features can improve user experience and help users find the insights they need faster.

Test and Refine Your Dashboard

Once your dashboard is built, test it thoroughly to ensure it functions as expected. Gather feedback from users and make necessary adjustments.

Here are some questions to ask during testing:

Is the dashboard easy to navigate?

Are the metrics accurate and up-to-date?

Does the dashboard provide actionable insights?

Are there any unnecessary elements that can be removed?

Iterate on your design based on feedback to create a dashboard that meets users’ needs and expectations.

Best Practices for Data-Driven Dashboards

Follow these best practices to ensure your dashboard delivers maximum value:

1. Update Data Regularly

Ensure your dashboard is connected to real-time or regularly updated data sources. Stale data can lead to poor decision-making.

2. Focus on Actionable Insights

Your dashboard should highlight insights that can drive actions. Avoid including metrics that don’t contribute to decision-making.

3. Ensure Accessibility

Make sure your dashboard is accessible to all relevant stakeholders. Provide training or documentation if necessary to help users interpret the data.

4. Use Alerts and Notifications

Set up alerts to notify users when certain thresholds are met or when anomalies are detected. This helps users stay informed without constantly monitoring the dashboard.

Conclusion

Data-driven dashboards are powerful tools that can help businesses make better decisions by providing real-time, actionable insights. By following the steps outlined in this guide — defining goals, choosing the right metrics, connecting data sources, designing an effective layout, and adding interactivity — you can create dashboards that empower your organization to make data-driven decisions.Remember, a great dashboard is not just about presenting data — it’s about providing insights that drive action. Keep your dashboards simple, focused, and user-friendly to maximize their impact.

"Oli it is, then." Xerophan clasps his free hand over Olivine's, then, but this time the glove over his hand seems to be pushing back a chilling cold. He smiles, kindly, then drops both of his hands from Olivine's.

He seems a bit taken aback at first, his head tipping to the side as Olivine explains the act of self-preservation.

"That's... unusual. There are few religions who focus more on preserving the self, than offering everything up to their god." He hums quietly under his breath, reaching up to tug gently at the scarf around his neck.

"Your god must be kind, then, yes?" Xerophan tries, momentarily, to peel his eyes away from that dazzling smile. It proves itself an impossible task, however, and he finds himself staring at that kind, gentle face.

- 🕯

The temperature shift is certainly interesting...but with Xerophan's kindness so far, Olivine sees no reason to worry. Plus, he actually seems...interested in what Olivine is saying! It wasn't as if the priest wasn't used to people listening to him, quite the opposite, but they always seem...distracted, by something. Hmm.

"Indeed! Of course, there are common practices among other religions that we share, such as frugality and kindness amongst neighbors, but the God of Klein takes pride in His creations, and wants them to treat themselves with that same love and pride!"

The priest looks up to Xerophan with a warm, wide smile, finding it rather easy to maintain eye contact as they spoke. It helped a lot that Xero's eyes seemed to actually be focused on Olivine's face, rather than hanging down like most who spoke with him. Oli never really understood why others seemed to stare down, or straight forward, whenever they conversed...

"He is quite kind, yes! Generous, giving us such a lovely place to call home, and incredibly forgiving of any and all sins." Olivine...has a strange look in his eyes for a brief moment, before it's replaced with the same warm, welcoming smile. "I don't know what I'd do without such a kind God."

what sort of things would vyrm and Hornet do together? way back in the palace and present time :D

He was basically raising her by himself, The White Lady wasn't very involved (and besides, she left the palace not long after Hornet moved there). Which means he was doing what you'd expect a parent do. He was trying his best to dedicate a lot of time to Hornet, and considering his own struggles, be was doing a fairly good job.

But from more specific things, I think she'd really enjoy walking around the palace with him and hearing him tell her about its creation, his royal duties and other things. She was a lil fighter even back then, so I do like the idea of him giving her wooden nails so she could pretend she's fighting all sorts of monstrous bests. Maybe he'd even be her sparring partner, using his powers to act as as someone he could practice fighting with, in a very playful manner of course.

He wasn't much of a reader for a lot of his life, most of the books he read were about engineering and that kind of stuff, very technical (he'd get into fiction, especially romantic, later down the line as he was exploring his feelings towards Grimm). But he would always read her stories to sleep if she wanted to, and tuck her in after she dozed off.

He would also let her join him whenever he left the palace to do business, usually in the City of Tears, though understandably he stopped after the Xero incident (since it happened during one of those trips). And back in the palace, she'd frequently visit his workshop whenever he was working there. She wasn't particularly interested in his tinkering, but she enjoyed the workshop since it was a lot darker and more cozy, which reminded her of Deepnest. Plus she could always talk to her dad while playing there. What she did love, was all the toys he made for her, things she could not get anywhere else, such as little wind up creatures with much more intricate movements.

It's safe to say that she had a very good childhood with him, he tried to include her wherever possible. She didn't have anyone to play with, and while the Great Knights were always nice to her, she wanted to spend time with her father (and Grimm whenever he visited).

Of course, like I said before, things weren't so happy at first post-infection. They didn't do a lot of things together since it would usually end up in a one-sided argument. Bur eventually things started to calm down a bit, and they began spending more time with each other to mend their relationship. Usually what it comes down to is going on walks together, sometimes on hunts as well. She often joins him whenever he decides to sell stuff at the market, they have their own lil stand (Holly also likes to participate and sell some trinkets they made). Most of the time she doesn't get very involved in the things they do together, usually she just hangs out in the same spot and maybe talks to him from time to time.

The closest interactions they have started happening shortly before Lewk was born. With Grimm's state, a lot of the house responsibilities fell on Vyrm's shoulders, and his anxiety made things even worse. So even though her first reaction to the news was somewhat negative, it didn't take her long to decide to help them whenever they needed it during that time, which included also relieving Vyrm of a lot of his work. Then, after Lewk (and later Asta and Milo) were born, she'd often join him in looking after them.

Aside from that, she reluctantly joins Vyrm and the others whenever they're playing board games or having a campfire in the lil spot behind the house. She does enjoy spending time with them, but sometimes she just feels like staying in her room all day, so she has to hype herself up to join them.

And very rarely, if Vyrm gets the idea to make food for Grimm, she decides to keep a watch on him. He's not the best at cooking and his forgetfulness often means he ends up burning it, so Hornet's help makes that a bit less likely. In turn, he often tries to help if she's making food for everyone, but again, he's not very good at it so she usually gives him something easy to do on the side so he doesn't get in the way.

There's definitely other stuff I could mention but I think this gives a good idea of their activities together. It's definitely a far cry from how close they were in her childhood, but they still find some time to spend time together and improve their relationship. Hornet may seem like she's annoyed with it at times, but she also really wants to repair the damage. It has a bit of awkwardness to it as you'd expect, but I think it's still very wholesome.
