Stumbled onto your blog, who made the art in your banner I'm obsessed with it

Howdy! I'm glad you like it, I made it myself, it's a redraw of a photo of three very iconic and expressive people on a train HAHAH <3

shoutout to characters who are simultaneously selfish and selfless shoutout to characters who are simultaneously optimistic and pessimistic and especially shoutout to when those traits dont even conflict each other but exist side by side

Recently I've seen a few people in the fandom say it's intimidating or nerve wracking to interact with the wider community, which prevents them from ever doing so or just feeling as though they don't have a place, so as a solution I offer;

An OW themed ask game !

Take the plunge and send an ask to someone you'd like to know more about or simply interact with more as exposure therapy! If you're scared, do it scared; find your place in the community! We (usually) don't bite ::)

The Sun - How did you first get into Outer Wilds? The Stranger - Which out of the three main species do you want to/think you'd be? Sun Station - Favorite mystery/curiosity to solve? Ash Twin - Worst death you put your Hatchling through? (funniest, most absurd, etc) Ember Twin - Favorite planet to explore Vs. Least favorite? Timber Hearth - Favorite Hearthian AND/OR Nomai? (and why they're your favorite) The Attlerock - Any puzzles you got stuck on? Brittle Hollow - Any quote(s) that stuck with you long after finishing the game? Hollow's Lantern - How many achievements do you have? (Bonus: were any of them accidental?) Giant's Deep - If you were one of the travelers, what instrument would you play? Quantum Moon - How did you react to quantum mechanics being part of the gameplay? (did it freak you out, did you find it interesting?) *Alternatively, how did you react to/feel about the QM itself? Dark Bramble - Did you ever "Feldspar" anything? (ex: slingshot around the black hole as a shortcut, brute force GD's current, etc) White Hole Station - Favorite song(s) from the OST? (base game + DLC!) The Interloper - Which discovery did you find the most impactful? The Eye - How did you interpret the ending?

Obviously, anyone can play, though I will tag a few folks that follow me! (Feel free to participate or not, no pressure <3) @soluneinouterspace @gabbrofan27 @dekkiidan @prism-j

Doshpuluur [Snapped String] My piece for the Resonant Echoes event! @outerwilds-events I've been in a major art block lately, but I'm glad I was able to put this together TToTT it took... an ungodly amount of warmups and exercises to bring the skills back into functioning order. It's awesome to be working with the community and everyone's pieces are so cool...

ANYWAY !! not to get too sappy. Below the readmore is an alternate version and an image ID!

[image description: An illustration of Gossan, seen through a cracked windowpane. Gossan is sitting by themself on a wooden pier by a river, underneath a Maple tree with reddish leaves, tuning their instrument, a Doshpuluur. It is a trapezoidal stringed instrument, typically featuring two strings, but as many as four. Gossan is looking at the viewer intently, mostly clad in ill-fitting, too-large garments. They have shrugged their left sleeve off to better see their fretwork, but with relatively fresh scars on the left side of their body, the hand-eye coordination isn't at the level they'd expect it to be. Uncomfortable and frustrated, they keep at their task, pushing the durability of their instruments' strings to the limit, keenly aware of the viewer, half-obscured by fluttering, glittery drapes, sparkling like fishscales.]

So....what's with the hand thing??

Self-soothing ! They like to squeeze their fingers/meat of their hand to ground and calm them, or just for stimming. This includes when they're in a really positive mood !

They do....prefer someone else do it for them if ever presented with the opportunity

[muddonium]

A Festival between Idaea, Pye, and Slate! A festive lil delivery for @artisticattic for the @outerwilds-events Quantum Entanglement Exchange this year 🎉 The prompt was SO much fun - getting characters who never met in-game together! I think these 3 would cause quite the stir - and probably cause a lot of friction along the way. 10/10 their work will never pass a peer review but I will be signing up to be a test subject anyway ♥
