GOD VS GOD-COMPLEX
Tumblr media
"For I am the One,
The True Source of Light;
Greater than a mere star,
and the most Honored.
Brighter than the Sun,
if not the Sun Himself,
I am to become."
another impromptu verses to accompany the drawing ⎯⎯⎯ while it might have started with good intentions, I believe that Resh's ultimate goal was likely to overthrow Megabird and take her place as the source of Light, as he judged that her light was weakening. he comes to believe that he is the only one from who emanates the Light, and who gives life to the Kingdom. Basically that nothing could live or prosper without his existence.
Tumblr media
Can you tell I have an obsession? Eh? Okay

Awakening 🕯️ (8)
Meeting Moon certainly was a noteworthy experience, but Kid soon goes back to play with his friends, who had come up with a game ⎯⎯⎯ well, only one of them seemed to be very passionate about it. Kid is on board and finds it quite fun to play pretend, even though he needs directions as to how he should behave . . . things go well until the story takes a turn which rubs him off the wrong way, for a reason he couldn't pinpoint. All that he knew, was that it was unfair, and felt horrible. Unable to explain the effect it had on him, he runs off, dropping the story altogether. His friend wonders if the Princess shouldn't just get back with the Prince, without realizing that this story might ring true with another, to an extent that all of them are unaware of.

Awakening 🕯️ (7)
Meeting Moon seemed to be an exhilarating experience for Kid, as someone who had never met another so shiny before. And Kid's perspective remains quite limited. Someone else sees the Moon's arrival as some sort of sentence, a reaction born from years long guilt and remorse. But Mekh seems to know things that others don't. Moon's arrival has made her cross paths with the child she apparently had already seen a long time ago, before the events of the Shattering. How could it be that it was the same child who has reappeared so long after? Why could he have been hidden in the first place? What Mekh believes for sure, is that Teth has a lot of secrets, many upon which rests the Fate of the world.
Does Mekh's perspective paint the events as they were? and . . who really is Kid?

Shattering.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Alef / Resh has been living rent free in my head for a while and I just can't stop thinking about how everything led up to the shattering . . How Alef's person gradually slipped away until he was unrecognizable, and replaced by a corrupted version of himself, unreachable since he was trapped within his own darkness. Starting off with good intentions, only to be lifted so high he believed himself to be a god; aiming for eternal light only to be plunged in eternal darkness. A never-ending storm of rage and all-consuming darkness.

Corrupted King, Resh
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I have quite a few headcanons when it comes to Alef / Resh, and I will mention them below ( PS: could contain spoilers, so please be aware of that )
like I mentioned in a previous post, I differentiate Alef and Resh as before corruption, and after corruption. So Alef is the uncorrupted Prince which later on becomes King. The corruption is gradual however, and doesn't settle immediately, hence the "semi- corrupted", where I see him as losing his former personality to be replaced by increasing coldness, and ruthlessness. That being said, Alef and Resh become like two different people. the way I see it, is that Alef becomes a very small part of light, lost in the darkness. metaphorically very similar to the lone golden child in the void, before we get reborn. the way I envisioned it is, the darkness seeped into the very core of his surroundings, to such an extent it may as well have been an extension of himself. in that sense, Resh "fused" with the darkness around him, and the mountain of Eden, is /alive/ and actively trying to destroy sky kids, even though Resh is not visible himself. when the Elders set on sealing the King away, because he is too powerful, he might have been as big as a mountain tbh, and the sheer power that was being let out on that day likely shattered the diamond. perhaps, Resh's intention was to overthrow Megabird and become the sole source of Light, hence directing the diamond towards the heavenly Light, but of course.. it turned out for the worst
in a way, perhaps Alef is watching himself becoming unrecognizable, but is unable to do anything at all against the all-consuming darkness, which is himself?

Awakening 🕯️ (6)
Despite being unaware of Teth's nightmare, Kid is still able to observe that something seems to be wrong. The Forest Elder appears to be restless, and is always checking her surroundings. He is unsure as to how to help, but he notices that her mood lifts a little when he talks to her about his adventures. It does sadden him that she doesn't seem to find happiness otherwise. What could possibly make her heart so sorrowful? Kid's thoughts are interrupted by the sudden appearance of a very shiny stranger, who refers to themself as "Moon". Kid immediately equates their person to that of the moon itself. Would he be correct in assuming so? If so, why would the moon suddenly show up in human form?

Kid and Teth 💞
Kid doesn't like to see Teth upset, especially when it rains worse than usual. He thinks that flowers can make her smile 💞
Kid is a character in a series I am working on on Tiktok, called "Awakening", and it is also on Youtube. It's a series based on the lore created with my friends, adapted into a story. Do check it out ! It's still in the works and I promise it's worth it 💞

Awakening 🕯️ (5)
Kid followed the Forest Elder's instructions, and went around to discover the world, something which seemed to trouble her quite a bit, especially when she wakes up from a seemingly recurrent dream, leaving her nervous and anxious. She wakes up to find Kid right where she feared he would be: by the gate of Eden. Kid is pulled back, and forbidden from entering the realm, for a reason that Teth doesn't explain. Kid wonders why she is acting as if every star was an eye staring at her. He finds the stars beautiful, and notices that one of them had fallen off. What could that possibly be, and what could it mean for everyone? was it just an ordinary Skykid?

"A Heart hardened by War,
Crushed under waves of Guilt
and Mountains of Sorrow,
Yet Always so Tender
And so quickly rebuilt,
As its essence is her."
Mini impromptu verse to accompany these, boy do I have things to say about them 😭💔 ( seriously, who allowed me to hold a pen? I broke my own heart)
And closeups because yes

Awakening 🕯️ (4)
After Kid mentioned that he wanted to see the Wasteland, Howl agreed to show him around. Despite his reluctance, Florian accompanied them. Howl seemed to know a lot about the wasteland, considering that this is the place where he grew up. The wasteland is not what Kid expected, him who had always known the forest. Everything seems colorless and sad. But what truly seems to strike him is the sight of Dark Dragons, roaming about and searching for Light to devour. But Kid doesn't seem afraid more than he is distraught by that fact. Why is it impossible to bring back Light to these creatures? Are they suffering as well? He returns to the Forest Elder in order to find some familiarity and comfort.

Awakening 🕯️ (3)
Kid mentions that he went back to the Forest Elder—who he refers to as ma'am —every time he woke up. Upon finding himself in Aviary Village, he is faced with several gates, unsure which one to visit first. This is where he meets Howl and Florian, who he seems to refer to as his parents, according to his understanding of the word. Howl assures confidently that in his company, there is no worry to have in visiting the wasteland, even if Florian remains quite apprehensive. Kid really wonders about the sounds he's hearing coming out of the Wasteland Gate.
⎯⎯⎯⎯
WHEW this took me several days to finish drawing, but I am INCREDIBLY happy to be working on this series, and have so much fun voicing them! Howl is my OC, Florian is my friend's, pandorah, and Kid is Mel's. This is based on their interactions!
