Last Titan

[collectors-tablet]

Saw someone suggest once that it'd be fun if the Collector and Papa Titan knew each other a long time ago...

Sometimes ppl draw the Collector and Masha in the same image bc they're both nonbinary and I'm like "ok how would that actually go"

[collectors-tablet]

I love characterizing the Archivists as really mean teenagers. Feels emotionally truthful.

[collectors-tablet]

why do the archivists and collector use masks?

They're so pretty that mortals would die instantly upon seeing their real face 👍

jk uhhh in universe reasons, they hide their identity a little, they're cool, and they are the children of the sun so their eyes shine like it. It's hard for Earthly creatures to look at them (which makes them run away, so the creatures are harder to collect.)

Our Collector is different though because his eyes are intentionally changed to match King's. He wouldn't want to scare off his friends!

Out of universe reason is because I really like how this artist drew them!

[collectors-tablet]

The big question posed by the Collectors is this: Why do they Collect? Well I posit that perhaps, they are training to Create.

I took some inspiration from this comic by @cathchicken for how I drew the baby Potential :P I thought it looked neat!

Written version under cut

Stage 1: Potential. Leftover bits from the creation of the universe turned into dense balls of the Creator's magic.

Stage 2: Collector. The child stage. "Collectors live long, we watch things pass. To observe, to preserve, we must amass. What flies what swims, be it predator or pray, seal them up so that they never fade." Collectors take objects from creation and keep them for amusement.

Stage 3: Archivist. Teen stage. Not only have they amassed a collection of creations, they've taken them apart, studied them, know everything about them. They're insufferable. It's like a child who likes catching all the pokemon for fun vs an enthusiast who can tell you all about the type matchups and IVs and EVs and trainer AI.

Stage 4: Creator. Adult stage. Having studied their collection so long, they might believe they can create a better version of the creations themselves. They use their magic to create their own "better versions" of what they have. They collect to study for godhood.

Stage 5: Creation. End of life stage. The creation process is destructive, and requires taking pieces of oneself and repurposes that magic into other forms. The cycle continues with new Potential being born out of the last of a Creator's magic.

Potential ➡ Collector ➡ Archivist ➡ Creator ➡ Creation

hi, would the archivists adopt a cat?

Depends on your definition of "adopt"

They take very good care of them 👍

[Part 2]

[collectors-tablet]

Do the archivists have Maine coons in there collection of cats?

Quit while you're ahead, keep asking about them and you're not gonna like what you find

[Part 3]

[collectors-tablet]

Would the Archivists consider releasing the Maine Coon to roam around the archive?

Not a lot for a cat to eat here, anyways.

[Part 4]

[collectors-tablet]

Archivists! Has Collector attempted to release any of the felines in the archives whenever you aren't looking?

Thank the Sun he's dead 🌞🙏 Haven't seen them in ages
