A Bit Late But Happy Stanley Day!

if siffrin hadn’t looped back immediately…

angsty simple prompt

when Stanley and The narrator escape the parable and start living together, Stanley starts to get older, unlike the narrator who isn't human, slowly watching him get closer and closer to his death. Sometimes he will start narrating Stanley's story again, when he is alone or with Stanley sleeping. Eventually when Stanley does die, he will start narrating Stanley's story all the time, every time, to not forget him.

also here is cool sad song that inspired me for the prompt :3

And anyone who sees this and wants to!

I'm insane abt sky lore so I did some researching based on your questions and here's what I got :D

The Elders names

The Elders (plus the king & prince) have names based off Hebrew letters from concept development that are no longer canon, though the fandom sometimes refers to them as such:

Isle – Daleth (ד)

Prairie – Ayin (ע)

Forest – Teth (ט)

Valley – Samekh (ס) (They share a name, though the fandom refers to the spiky hair twin as Sah and the bobbed hair twin as Mekh.)

Wasteland – Tsadi (צ)

Vault – Lamed (ל)

Prince – Alef (א)

King – Resh (ר)

Though it seems the devs refer to the Elders by the times of day their realms represent:

Isle – Dawn

Prairie – Day

Forest – Rain

Valley – Sunset

Wasteland – Dusk

Vault – Night

Eden – Storm

Credit to Alasdair#8513 on Discord for the info. (I copy pasted this from the Sky:cotl wiki fandom about the elder hhhh)

The Eden is corrupted?

The Eden is in fact corrupted with corrupted water, dark plants, evil crabs and krill(they're called dark dragon but we usually call them krill🦐). There's a lot of theories about why the Eden is corrupted and corrupting the realms nearby:

wasteland (heavily corrupted)

valley (barely possibly due to the cold)

forest and prairie (mild corruption)

isle (none due to being the farthest)

vault is special because the realm doesn't have any corruption despite being the closest to Eden. Possibly for being cough cough a vault.

The theories being related to the King from Eden being corrupted or the Dark Dragons taking over the sky realms. Idk we never get the true lore yet or I'm missing something ^^;

What are the Winged Light?

The winged lights are the shiny children you picked all around the realms to enhance your wing! The more winged lights you collected, the stronger your wing is and you could fly much longer and higher. Unlocking spirit's second tier (using red candles that you get everytime you finished Eden or do the corrupted rocks tasks. The candles are called Ascended Candles btw) will also give you free winged lights after you finished Eden :3

I haven't played Sky for a while so I might missed some stuff hehe. Any questions? :]

HELPP

What in the world is the basic sky lore.

Like literally I know nothing.

I heard the elders have names?!

The elder eden got corrupted?!

Man I didn't even get to Eden I started 2 days ago pls help 😭

ALSO WHAT ARE THE WINGED LIGTHS

ARGGGGGG

So I haven’t talked about this on main before, but the situation in South Gaza has gotten so horrifying that I’m p much throwing caution to the wind to desperately plead for eyes on this. I’m raising awareness about stories from activists in Gaza right now, including one of our own.

My lovely, wonderful friend Swin (aka tumblr user @combaticon) was deployed as a volunteer medic to a Gaza hospital on the 9th.

When the bloodshed started, she heard they needed extra hands in Gaza, she spoke Arabic and had the training, and she went.

I’ve been in contact with her throughout. She’s so incredibly brave it takes my breath away. My heart bleeds for these children she’s taking care of and how resilient they are is… astonishing.

Swin and these poor people have been under siege for so long, and they’re in desperate need of critical supplies. They have to filter water through their clothes, and it’s getting dangerously cold. Foods finally been getting through, but there’s not enough blankets and jackets to go around and there’s no fuel for the generators.

Their comrades in the West Bank have been completely pushed out by settler thugs. It’s incredibly unsafe to even be doing humanitarian work for Palestinians. Remember this the next time a Zionist tells you they’re doing this to ‘feel safe’. The IOF is arming lynch mobs.

On a personal note, this has been the most gut-wrenching week of my life. Every day when I wake up without a text from her I feel so much fear. I fight back the grief but I don’t know how to help or what to do. It’s terrifying.

Swin has asked for nothing, absolutely nothing other than something it can show the people around it to make them feel like they’re not going to be abandoned. To make sure they’re not forgotten in some pit praying Rafah opens before Israel decides to slaughter them all.

Today was a bad day. She’s alive but beyond worrying about her privacy now; she’s asked me to share this and to beg that we not lose steam and forget about them. Please share this, and please keep being fucking annoying and loud and digging your heels in with fury because we cannot let these people die silently.

[Times of Gaza] [QUD network] [Eye on Palestine]

Watched tadc pilot. It was awesome ive never experienced this much existential dread.

Blocking out her name and picture to protect her from harassment, but this is a Palestinian journalist reporting out of Gaza who I've personally had contact with through Twitter.

Money and aid is not getting through. Crowdfunding is not helpful. Ordering things is not helpful. Buying keffiyehs that say the money goes to Gaza is not helpful.

Gaza is a concentration camp - nothing is getting in or out that Israel does not approve of and right now Israel wants people dead or dying.

Most of social media, and tumblr is no exception, skews toward "taking action" being things that put you at zero risk and only ask for money or bits of time, or sometimes just doing nothing and calling it a boycott. "Call your rep!" "Buy this thing!" "Share this link!"

The reality is that you get out what you put in and if it was easy and low risk and comfortable for you to do it, then that is the level of impact it is having - low, comfortable to ignore, and flimsy.

Palestine, Gaza and increasingly the West Bank, NEEDS real help and the reality is we do not have the power as individuals to give it.

We DO have the power to band together and influence things collectively and the best way to do that is to loudly unequivocally express our anger and clarity of purpose.

So that does mean calling reps and being polite and firm and brief and giving your real address because otherwise they can't confirm you're a constituent and they'll ignore you. "Hello, my name is ______ and I am calling as a constituent to demand representative/senator _______ support aid to Gaza and to call for an end to support for all support to Israel."

It is important that your support for Gaza include opposition to Israel - there is no supporting Gaza while supporting Israel, it genuinely is one or the other.

Tear down pro-Israel posters. Tear down those fake kidnapped propaganda posters. Show up to rallies and marches where you can and if you can't, find out who's organizing them and get in touch to offer your support and help. Talk to family and friends. LEARN! Read up on these things and teach yourself history so you can better advocate and push back on propaganda.

Be willing to have people not like you. Losing friends over this is, and I don't mean to be cold here, nothing. It doesn't matter. Fuck em. If advocating against genocide costs you friendships and gets people calling you antisemitic, fuck em, good riddance. Privately process the loss of those relationships if they really matter to you, but publicly don't give it air because this is not a time to be focused on the feelings of people who cannot bring themselves to oppose ethnic cleansing.

The culture is shifting, support for Palestine is growing and it NEEDS to continue and we have the power to make sure it does.

Stanley goes gambling.

how would sky moths react to angler? i have a feeling it would be like those smoke monsters in the trial of fire

while they dont have hearts that can stop beating, they do have light which can be extinguished,,,

luckily, a certain grumpy fish has what they need to get their lights back :]
