*asks you about subcon desert* :)
I don't know why, but for some reason I'm suddenly, like, super drained in regards of Subcon Desert, but luckily I'll be able to copy and paste my explanation for you!
(Note: hey I just finished copying and pasting, and I need to let you know that I also added some more info and art, so I guess this is officially updated!)
The summary:
Subcon Desert is basically just Subcon Forest. But it’s a desert now.
From a glance, that’s it. BUT!
There’s lot of chances to the characters, history, and what’s presently happening. I’ll start with the most important characters–
Snatcher is a ghost crocodile called The Hunter now! He's a ghost of The Prince who patrols a river from the sea that runs through the kingdom's remains, looks out for his minions, and also makes intruders/trespassers do tasks for him via contract before he eats them whole.
Standard stuff.
... I should also mention that he controls water instead of fire.
Next up is Sunjumper! He,,, just really wants peace. After splitting with The Hunter after The Prince died, he took The Prince's body, grabbed a sword he was ceremonially granted when we was alive, and eventually made a home for himself on the horizon. That's. His home is just so far away from the kingdom that it's literally on the horizon, so everybody calls it that.
That monster at the bottom right corner is Cereus, Subcon Desert's Vanessa, and yup she's still bad. She's able to control sand, and, to an extent, stone, and built an entire labrynth to keep The Prince in. Unfortunately, her intensr greed, among other things, turned her into a monster. She left the ruins and caused the kingdom to fall into destruction, taking almost every life in the process, and the labrynth colapsed with The Prince inside it. Now she stays inside the labrynth ruins, save for nights of the new moon, when she leaves to tries to get Sunjumper to return for eternity. Don't worry Hunter helps him out-
A lot of the minions look like this! Snatcher made the fake mummy bodies himself for their souls to inhabit. They act a lot like the canonical subconites, but they /do/ have some more responsibility with things such as building houses and selling things. Regardless of this, they're still carefree for the most part and always down to clown.
There's also scorpions instead of spiders, and many of the dwellers wear animal skulls and other things in place of masks. I'm not sure sure what to do with the fire spirits :/
iiiiiis what I WOULD say if it wasn't for the help of tumblr user catcrazies-midnight! They proposed the idea of the fire spirits instead being molten glass spirits, and I RAN with it!
These beautiful walking glass puddles are basically a bunch of melted down and stuck together glass, courtesy of a soul/essense that's really, really hot. Their bodies can be made brittle and more easy to shatter if they're exposed to intense cold or submerged into cold water, which is usually what they want to do anyways… buuuuuut, if one wished to continue to collect and melt down sand to become bigger,,, :}
Hat Kid gets sent to deal with them. Oop-
The kingdom is largely ruined, but inside of broken houses and other buildings, there's quite a bit of creative decorations in the form of feathers, cloth, bone, and really anything that catches the minion's eyes. The river from the sea runs through most of it, too.
At the very end of the main branch of the river lies tbe destroyed castle, and there's a part of the river that branches off to a place where the entrance of the labrynth's ruins are.
Oh! And here's what Sunjumper's home and surrounding oasis looks like!
The minions like to call it The Horizon because it's juuuuuust in the horizon from the kingdom, and Sunjumper decided to agree with them because, firstly, that's actually a smart idea, and secondly, he'd /really/ hate to rain on their parade ._.
..
... oh, wait, you're wondering about how Sunjumper looks the way he does, too aren't you--
W E L L,
YYYYYYESSSSS, AN OC >:DDD
Don't worry, they're not all over the place; Æfrelewk's actually pretty contained. They can't leave their "personal fashion space" after the sea in that area dried up a loooooong time ago, so they just stay in the pocket dimension left behind by their meteor that crashed into what was once the sea.
... look I said that they'd be contained, not that they'd not be absolutely bonkers in more ways than one.
Ever since they weren't able to leave their pocket dimension without getting beached, they just stay and wait... trying to lure in anything that breathes to trap forever and transform into shapes that they find more appealing. Too bad their fashion sense is stuck in the eras of dimetrodons and funky shell squid.
After escaping the labrynth and trying to get far, /far/ away from the kingdom, Sunjumper was convinced by Æfrelewk to hop into their pocket dimension and be made into something "MUCH more practical. I mean, come on, LEGS?! Puh-LEASE, only people trying to be trendy think they need THOSE." And badda bing badda boom Sunjunper regretted his decision wholeheartedly.
I'm not sure about the specifics, but I'm pretty sure that /maybe/ The Hunter fished him out.
And I am /definitely/ certain that Sunjumper tries to make sure nobody else risks going through what he had to by marking the whole impact site with signs and various warnings along the lines of, "do NOT enter or come closer at ANY cost!!! ... please :("
