So I recently found out by seeing one fanart that Tiso/Cloth is a thing and furthermore a thing that is sooo up my alley??

Like no matter how you see them, bffs of whatevs, the potential in this dynamic is just 👌👌 stellar

#hollow knight #comic #tiso #cloth #hk #does it have a ship name? #clothiso? #anyway I'm sold #it's like genzarya but personalities are switched #also #I like to think #that Tiso would've won trial of the fool #which makes that he died in such stupid way #even more hilariously ironic #😂 #rondos #tisocloth

had a sorta fluffy thought of shadow growling at sonic while sonic's smiling with his arms crossed. he growls back at shadow, though his smile remains as he does it. his growl is louder, but it's lighter and might not sound intimidating, since it's all in good fun from his end.

shadow is taken aback, flustered, and never does it again. sonic is confused, but doesn't bring it up.

#sonic the hedgehog #sonic #shadow the hedgehog #shadow #sonic x shadow #sonadow #i like to think #that sonic only growls if he thinks smths fun or if you done fucked up #this is definitely the former #as to why shadow growled #no idea #gay ppl r weird #- a gay person

"bon"?

TWF 4 SPOILERS// prepare for some slightly disjointed rambling on twf 4

i keep thinking of how "bon" reveals snippets of things we don't know just yet about him, like what exactly "bon" is or if he's a spirit or not. that is to say; if he's a spirit we know.

"bon" introduces himself to susan as a sort of receptionist or caretaker in Wonderland. He's friendly and explains it to her with what seems like genuine care and concern. his voice has a robotic but almost loving quality. he speaks as if he's narrating a storybook.

this is our first hint that "bon" might have once been something else. if he 'would know' about how a spirit doesn't pass on as fast as the body does- is he referring to himself or someone else? there seems to be nobody else in Wonderland other than Susan, himself & Edd and Molly. of course, we only know what we're shown- but what we're told here seems very important, too. so important that "bon" mentions it again later:

he's sympathising with Susan; sharing to make her feel better about it. he could be lying, but i don't think so. "bon" was scared too. we have a confirmation now that "bon" seems to be talking about himself here. or maybe what he was before Susan came around.

there is a notable absence of Jack here. is he in Wonderland? we don't know. but we know that "bon" has been there for a while.

i find it interesting that "bon" is in quotes at all. he is consistently in canon media reffered to with the quotation marks- as if he is something fake or that the name is a lie. It could be that Bon, the rabbit animatronic, is simply the main Bon we should be concerned about- and "bon" is lesser, as he doesn't have anything else but the ability to control Bon. Or maybe "bon" is simply what Bon actually is- that "bon" is the AI within Bon corrupted and warped by circumstance.

Or that he isn't really "bon" at all. that the difference between "bon" and Bon is much more important than quotes can convey. To get floppy with it and start something of a theory- "bon" is eerilly simmilar to Jack in a disjointed, warped kind of way. The shape of the suit in the fog and his height and vague face shape reads just too close to me. I don't think they're the same 'person' but i think "bon" could be trying to mimic Jack. we see him talk to susan in a friendly, familliar manner- and saying things i think raise flags about what could be going on

he calls Susan his friend, and says he knows things about her

granted, these could all be learned easilly if we imagine that "bon" has been inhabiting Bon the animatronic for a while, watching people around and learning information to be able to put it to use. or maybe he can't help it- a programmed learning algorithm that keeps learning and learning until it learns everything it isn't supposed to.

I've always had the idea that Bon had something of a computer learning algorithm, a fascinating example of Cyberfun Tech's ingenuity being turned into something wrong and predatory.

The facial recognition AI and walkaround AI we see in twf 4 is very clearly a database and learning AI; we see susan and charles talking about how Banny has to pathfind around objects

this seems pretty clear to me that Banny (and therefore all the other animatronics) are supposed to learn how to recognise objects and pathfind around them for the best possible interaction experience. Banny here, fails the test which according to susan just means they'll have to 'test this out again until we get this right'.

The facial recognition can be altered, too. we see Boozoo recognise Edd and Molly, even though he shouldn't have. I think this is an example of the ghost interferance with the AI actually making it fuction when it shouldn't. What im getting at here; is what did Bon learn?

did he learn that violence we see him enact on Susan? If so, from where? did he witness a murder? see someone brutalize someone else and in his programming, think 'how can i improve this and enact it better?' because getting better, more efficient is what every AI programme in the animatronics aims to do.

the segment where Susan is killed by Bon has a title screen:

'the first', referring to the day Susan died being on the day the first birthday party at Bons Burgers happened. I wonder if it could also be refferring to Susan being perhaps 'The First' to have been killed like this, by Bon and "bon".

this is admittedly pushing it a little but we have like 0 information on Jack atm and i'm not confident Bon killed him. or even "bon". the assumption we are led to make from the episode is that "bon" possessed Bon

and was the force behind Bon killing Susan at all. btw bon makes such a cute pose i really am enamoured by Bon in this episode. But if "bon" is the force behind killing Susan, and perhaps any violence Bon enacts at all; what is "bon"??

we know these things:

-he apparently knows what it's like to be scared [of death? of wonderland? of being a spirit?]

-he knows Susan

-he wears a suit

-he possesses Bon

-Edd and Molly are scared[?] of him

If "bon" is a spirit, like we seem to have been hinted at, is he Jack? Him being in Wonderland before Susan obviously means he must have 'died' before her, but Wonderland is simmilar to 'The Lobby' we see on Anthony's Findjackwalten page here, since 'Alice in Wonderland' REPLACED 'The Lobby' on that page.

which we know is a purgatory of sorts, from the other Findjackwalten page /ghosthaunt

So if "bon" CANT be only an AI, but died before susan- what if he's both? What if the ghost is also an AI? Could it be that Jack is not mostly possessing Bon, but is in a strange situation where he's fragmented across objects? Jack is most often depicted on a TV or through analog rather than ever being shown with Bon like any other of the animatronics- like susan or charles whose faces are overlaid directly over their suits.

If Jack is split across multiple outlets for his 'spirit', maybe "bon" is actually able to possess Bon because of Jack's spirit- rather than having his own at all. AI and ghost in a sort of terrible parasitic relationship where the AI can use Jack's spirit to exist in Wonderland and the real world in a way it could not before. Think of it a little like possessing a spirit in a weird way.

With this in mind, i think "bon" seems to fit into his politely sinister persona- not threatening, but goal-oriented. "bon" has learned things from Jack and can better replicate him to further his vague goal of. i suppose 'recruiting' spirits to continue to possess their vessels rather than pass on.

IM SORRY BUT I HAD A THOUGHT AND ITS DRIVING ME INSANE (Stay AU related)

You know how I often hc Edd to have MC syndrome in some form, where he has this need to be the center of everything, to be well liked by people, to be admired and have someone need him, etc etc all that self-centered, slightly asshole-y, stuff.

But, like I said, this tones down with his age, so its not as bad as it used to be when he was a kid to his 20s, cause he got humbled at some point to where we know him as the raggedy ass future version of himself.

Well….then May Belle comes into his life.

And May absolutely adores her dad, she takes any opportunity to hug him and tell him how much she loves him. The thing that really broke Edd would be when May admits that her personal hero is always gonna be him.

He’s genuinely the center of someone’s world now.

And for once, he doesn’t know how to react to that.

#ew Stay AU #ew Stay AU writings #I LIKE TO THINK #That Edd knows how to react to shallow love and praises #the kind you get from strangers and people who admire you from afar #but deep genuine love is a new ballpark #and he gets thrown off when he realizes it #and with it comes the realization of how starved he is for genuine affection #that all the praise and ‘love’ from people who don’t really know him #wasn’t what he wanted at all #NFLSLSF SORRY #EDD HOURS TODAY

Imagine how lonely AK!Jay must’ve felt locked down there in that dungeon for over a year 🥺 The only people he ever saw for over 365 days came to hurt him and nothing else. He spent the holidays down there. And his birthday. And he spent those days he should’ve been sharing with his found family believing that his family didn’t care about him, that they didn’t even notice he was missing.

Happy World Building Wednesday! We are still relatively new to each other's properties, so tell me about a fun detail that you don't usually get to talk about! Maybe something you know but doesn't actually show up in the story or anything that you're really proud of :)

Mmmm. I'll do this for Peasant and the Legendarium! Mild spoilers for a back-end nontextual Peasant magic information.

Peasant's the worldbuilding-lightest world I've done, specifically because, as I believe I've mentioned -- the world was constructed entirely for Emilia's sake. I had a character vibe that I wanted and needed for the project to come alive, and I had my pride as a writer, so I needed to understand what made Emilia like that. So I just...scratch built the whole world such that a character like Emilia could exist? She is the Empire, the Imperial Majesty and custom, crystallized into a person. She's so good at thaumaturgy because, in part, she is thaumaturgy. Thaumaturgy made the Empire, and the Empire made HER.

Which is also a great segue into an actual worldbuilding detail, which is that the magic system in Peasant is actually way more complicated than anyone knows, and is significantly more subtle! The only person who might be able to identify this is Noam, and none of his words would be able to explain exactly what happens to everyone else...in a way they'd understand. Thaumaturgy is active, but there's a whole swathe of passive world implications to how it works, many of which funnel into the agents of the Empire -- a positive feedback loop that continues to propel the Imperial crop above the rest of the world. Emilia is the perfect heir because she stepped into that role, and because the Empire demanded a perfect heir, and so Emilia became it. It's extremely soft and fuzzy, and appears most obviously in how scenes bend around Emilia. She is the Most Important Thing there, and she Knows It, and so does the world. Noam picks this up. Noam calls it something, but I'm not entirely sure what. We don't get a lot of an idea of what Noam's thinking....

For the LEGENDARIUM, one thing that I really desperately love and will probably not get to actually talk about in-text is the level of...integration? Between civilizations and the landscape. The continent is old, having a massive history of cultivation and development that spans way more than the 300-odd years after the Age of Powder and the subsequent cataclysm. The world was old when gunpowder was invented, and the world was old when the Mordan Empire was founded, and that Empire is functionally from the dawn of time already!

One of the quiet ways this manifests is...a lot of environments, though their stewards were killed, lost, or scattered, are just...more habitable. More bountiful. Travel is easier, because long ago, elves cultivated all these lands into massive food oases, just because they could, and they were there. Nomad-paths wind in and through the hills and terrain, and old, old, old campsites are worn into stone and cliff and cave, having been used for countless generations of nomads on their holy paths. Mordan cities are built and rebuilt and reconstructed and renovated, year in and year out, decade after decade of some of the best engineers in the world redesigning the towns and cities to not only undo the wear of time, but improve and expand upon the city.

Even the wildernesses and the wastes, ruined Erde and cursed Danaan, still bear the stamps of their respective old civilizations -- Erde is built into the damn mountains, that's how old it is. The territories that were Erde have made a good effort of outlasting geological features.

The world is old, old, old, but a lot of those connections are cut, decaying, atrophied -- the woods are no longer actively tended by elves, in most places, and though nomads do their best, they are travelers, not cultivators. Erde is abandoned. Danaan is a graveyard. Sacred sites have gone quiet, tended only by nomads, keeping the faith for if the gods ever grace it again.

It's a somber world.

Thanks for the ask, @tc-doherty! See you around, I'm sure--
