Inktober day 5: cut, featuring Xi Ro

A STORMJOY. A stormjoy is a living cloud. When it passes over our continent, it lowers its feeding tentacles. On each tentacle are the BAIT STARS. Although light makes you happy, you must avoid it. You will be eaten.

Continuing to read the Books of Sorrow, reached chapter 6

@flowers-of-io am I doing this right?

Xi Ro was born the youngest child in the Osmium Court. According to the way of the world, that made her the weakest.

She was the only one left now, so perhaps there was usefulness in weakness.

The Cutting Case

In which Heulog-12 and Kysurax talk about Hive language and the role learning and teaching play in Hive culture.

I also wrote a bit of short fiction for the Sword Logic Zine as well! If the idea of two women talking about noun cases in a fictional alien language is intriguing to you, I invite you to take a look! :)

FFC 2025 | places to go | Destiny | Taox, Sathona, Aurash, Xi Ro | Rated G

“Where are we going?” Aurash asked.

“All around the world,” Taox said.

Taox held Aurash’s hands as the princesses trailed her into the underbelly of the continent. Engines hummed. Sathona’s eyes caught a shell spiral in the wall, taller than her, and followed where it lead to a mosaic. Taox reached out her other hand and tugged Sathona along, too.

The princesses immediately recognized when they reached the engines. The sound had grown loud and their footing had become less certain as the floor shook. Taox couldn’t see the water from here but could hear the churn. Yes, the whole continent was going somewhere it might never reach. Or rather, the destination was simply 'ever onward, hitting nothing we can’t destroy without harming us.’

“I understand,” said Sathona, though Taox had not spoken out loud.

“What do you understand?” asked Xi Ro.

“I am not sure,” said Sathona.

Xi Ro nodded thoughtfully. 

What did she understand? The children said nonsense sometimes, but Sathona was smart. She might grow up to be a strategist ne day. Certainly she would rule better than her declining father, who had no had an audience in … hours, at least. The krill could maintain their space as long as either the king or the princesses ruled wisely. Taox would try to show them all the mechanisms of the world they would need to do that.

It’s so funny to me the big hive gods started out as little fragile things, with mortal emotions and whims.

Xi’Ro: You ever cracked open someone’s head?

Sathona: Have you ever even cracked open a book???

Aurash, on the other side of the ship: Y’all ever done crack?

[thorough-witness-enjoyer]

This quote from Xi Ro in the Book of Sorrows always gets me because it captures so well the feeling of being young and powerless, frustrated and desperate to fight tooth and nail to make your existence matter to an indifferent cosmos that permits foul play

“The Deep”

A redraw of one of my favourite pieces by Salvador Dalí, “The Sleep”, and my part of a collab with @synnthamonsugar for this year’s Spring Media Zine organised by @d2artevents! You can check the whole work and Otter’s pieces here, and the full zine here <3

Entaoxunna, what a wonderful word for the greatest doubt, the first doubt named presumably after the last Krill, traitor to the osmium king and court.

The fact that this doubt of the sword logic, of the bladed path, of all the edged truth is (presumably) named after who forced aurash, Sathona and Xi-ro from Thier home and into the depths of fundament and the one of few and if not the only survivor of the Hive's neverending Crusade, it what the this doubt is called is quite appropriate and very nice detail.

Inktober day 15: dream, featuring Oryx, Xivu Arath, Savathun, and the Osmium King

“So I start eating my dad. I bite huge pieces out of him and I claw him up. I eat his legs and I eat his arms and I eat his goggles and his eyes and he says, good, good, this is majestic and true.

But my sisters are still tearing up the road so I don’t know how to get back.”

[savior-of-the-ink]

Something I think about pretty much constantly is the lie the Witness told to Sathona, but for a detail I didn't notice immediately back when TWQ was released.

The Books of Sorrow tell us the worm's corpse was being used as a vessel for the Voice in the Darkness since it was in the Osmium King's possession, so the existence of the Syzygy had a solid buildup and wasn't simply brought into account when it was the most convenient for three evicted (and possibly traumatized) young princesses to be manipulated into joining the dark side.

Let's say the Syzygy was to happen when the 52nd moon had passed by the Fundament (it most probably would have, Aurash specifies not all the moons were necessary for it): the Traveler has terraforming abilities. It's what it does best, turning hostile habitats to safe and liveable. There was a chance of 99% that the Fundament's shape would have been changed drastically with its arrival, the so dreaded God-Wave would have been easily prevented even had the triplet done nothing.

I never wanted to strangle the Witness more than now for that brilliant brain of its.
