Let‘s mash some rp lore on here, why not?

Newly self appointed Captain Leventis and his ship full of cursed pirates have to crash on Hisui for rations and big cats James runs off into the snowy mountains, and Vincent has to get him. Cats, am I right?

For just a sweet moment, this strange man high up in the mountains looks like James in his glory days

This is the start of a friendship full of time travel and immortality induced holes.

Do all of the knights have names in your au? And how did you decide on them?

hello there, thank you so much for the message! correct me if I misunderstand, but I think this is about a panel from my galacta knight vs meta knight comic:

where Galacta Knight uses the word Vaýtita. it's not a name, it's a... actually you know what, it's so much more embarrassing! it's a term of endearment/a relationship designator from my unnecessarily complex whole entire sci-fi language i built for them, lmao 💦

here's the note at the beginning of my personal dictionary as a quick crash course:

Ei Vaýtita in particular means "my gravity". it's akin to words like beloved, my heart, or soulmate- an irresistible force in one's own life. it's usually used romantically, but it doesn't have to be. Galacta Knight says it here to be cruel, though i do think he means it quite wholly

when I go in for making languages, especially sci-fi or high-fantasy ones, i like to consider the alien culture that the language is formed in. for these guys, everything was star and space coded; they had no reason to care about "hearts" or "souls". they considered themselves star-like, and so gravity as a term was most important; it's the only thing that can really move them.

praise is about being bright or shiny or having strong gravitational pull; and insults, accordingly, tend to revolve around being dim/lightless or stuck in orbit around someone greater

(translation under the cut because this is already getting long, sorry... i love to talk about this... thank you for asking 😭💝)

phrase // literal translation (from starspeak) // english localisation or meaning

kalimépos // welcome first light // good morning astéskotei // dim star // derogatory but not blindingly so; you could use it pityingly or fondly in a pinch ei épios // me see // wake up ei Vaýtita // my gravity // term of endearment and a relationship designator used within a star-system, usually for equal partners eu desai Ílioz ai ei // you (are not) the Sun of me // this is basically just a rejection from Meta Knight. the Sun serves an important role in star-systems, and he's simply telling Galacta Knight to shove it. he doesn't say it very well, but he refuses to say Ílioz-ei and so turns to a slightly clunky workaround.

#galacta knight #meta knight #my art #starspeak #awtdy au #asks #i do not speak any greek (modern or ancient) or arabic and rely on google translate entirely #originally designed this language entirely for self-indulgent personal use so it's got its flaws and is ever-growing and changing #i formally apologise to any actual speakers to whom this probably looks very stupid as it is truly just words slammed around in the blender #if they mean anything in OTHER languages also i apologise; i try to make sure that they don't translate to anything but it's tricky! #was just obsessed with the idea of utilising existing cosmic designation conventions for their dumb ancient star language #also to the person who referred to this on my main comic as meta knight being ring-popped thank you for my life i loved that #my headcanons and worldbuilding

Sun & Moon

#mitski is modern shakespeare for real #moon wlw and sun mlm solidarity #< that mitski song is about a woman and that shakespeare sonnet is about a man ! #my first thought with sun & moon was a good ol' 'the moon will sing' by crane wives / 'sunlight' by hozier / icarus and apollo / toxic love #but that's been done enough so fuck it we're doing transcendent eternal love. unfortunately of a heterosexual variety. #also I'm still playing around with layouts and things so I'm sure any future moodboards will look different #also also. yes I snuck in an anne of green gables quote. as is my right #moodboard #collage #web weave #light academia #romantic academia #dark academia #art #poetry #greek mythology #renaissance #baroque #mitski #william shakespere #selene and endymion #selene #apollo #sun and moon #sun and moon dynamic #renaissance art #painting #oil painting #pre raphaelite #pre raphaelism
