something i love about timeloops is that they satisfy the urge to study blorbo from your shows like a bug. i've trapped them in a timeloop and i'm subjecting them to situations. the narrative is a jar and i'm shaking it.
Hollow, Hornet, and Ghost with arrows pointing between them in a cycle. One arrow points from Ghost to Hornet. One points from Hornet to Hollow. Another points from Hollow to Ghost.
A drawing of a child Hollow. They will henceforth just be referred to as Hollow. They are standing with their legs apart and holding a nail in one hand. In the place of their other arm is a tattered cloak. Text reads, "Still missing their arm. (Lost in wastes)." Next to them is a small drawing of canon Hollow's head with an arrow pointing to Ghost, indicating this swap Hollow has taken Ghost's place in the AU.
Two drawings of swap Hornet, who will henceforth be referred to as just Hornet. One shows her infected with red eyes and an intense expression. Most of the left side of her face is cracked. The other shows her pre-infection, wearing the pure vessel's armor with shoulder loops. Next to her is the text "sealed vessel", as well as a drawing of Hornet's face with an arrow pointing to Hollow's face.
A drawing of swap Ghost, an older Ghost with long, branching horns and cheek spikes. There is a drawing showing canon Ghost with an arrow pointing towards canon Hornet. Text reads, "WL and PK's non-void child (estranged)." From now on they will just be referred to as Ghost.
A drawing of Hornet in armor. She is looking over her shoulder, at child swap Ghost who is hiding behind a pillar. She is saying to herself, "Like a little ghost…"
A drawing of Hornet bound in silk and hanging from the threads of a web. There are red veins pulsing out of her and red lines circling the drawing. Text reads, "Still part weaver; the idea was a vessel that could weave its own bonds."
A drawing of Ghost holding Hollow in their arms. Hollow is poking their cheek, and Ghost's eye on that side is closed.
A drawing of Hornet. She is holding a nail that resembles her needle, although the end is blunted rather than being a true needle. Her cloak is ragged and torn in such a way that it is longer in the back than the front.
A drawing of Hornet sitting on a rock as Hollow presents her a maskfly.
A drawing of Ghost kneeling and signing to Hollow. One hand is open with their palm down, and their other hand is in a fist with their thumb out. They are saying, "Hey. Listen. Let's get out of here. This place isn't your responsibility, and what happens here isn't your fault." Hollow is looking at them silently.
A drawing of Mato with his hand on Ghost's shoulder. Text reads, "Adopted. =)"
A drawing of the White Lady behind Ghost. She is saying to them, "Well it knows what is to follow." They are shaking their head.
Two drawings of Hornet. One shows her facing the side with the cracked side of her head facing the camera. Text reads, "Lost vision in this eye." The second drawing is canon Hornet, not from this AU, covering one of her eyes with her hand as she reads from a stone tablet. Text reads, "(I actually see her as low vision in general, not just in this AU)." An arrow points to the Hornet drawing with text reading, "Covering eye to focus vision."
The drawings in the second image are:
A drawing of the Radiance and Grimm with arrows pointing between them, showing they have been swapped.
A drawing of an infected husk with orange globules next to an infested husk with red veins coming out of it and bulging in its body. Text reads, "infection vs, infestation."
A comic taking up most of the space on this page. The first part is the Radiance, with a physical body resembling a very tall moth with a cloak over her shoulders. She is saying, "So you wish to aid in our preparations?" Hollow is nodding. The next parts show the Radiance thinking, and then saying "Aha!" as she comes up with something. She then hands Hollow a caterpillar, with a drawing of the Seer with an arrow pointing to Grimmchild. She is saying, "Take this. Bring her back later." Hollow takes her with an alarmed expression. Later, Ghost asks them, "Where did you GET that?" One of their hands is flat with their palm up, while the other is making a fist with their pinky and thumb out. Hollow is simply beaming happily. Elsewhere, Thistlewind and Markoth are standing before the Radiance. Thistlewind asks, "Radiance, where is our child?" The Radiance says, "Not to worry, I have found a sitter." The word sitter is in quotes.
A drawing of Hollow in the dream realm after being sealed there by the dreamers in the Resting Grounds. They have an alarmed expression. Behind them, swap Grimmchild is sitting with their face resting on their hand. They have an amused expression. Grimmchild here is older and has pronged horns rather than entirely straight ones, and they have whole butterfly wings with long lines along the upper wings. A drawing above them shows canon Grimmchild with an arrow pointing to the Seer.
A drawing of Hollow holding a staff with a red flame at the end. Text reads, "The nightflame, burns through layers of a mind." Below is a doodle of Grimmchild speaking to Hollow. They are saying, "Lol maybe don't use it on a living person too much." Hollow looks alarmed.
A drawing of swap Grimm and Hornet sitting on the ground in the nightmare realm. The Nightmare Heart looms above them both with red veins surrounding the area. Grimm and Hornet are both holding cards. Grimm says, "Got any 3s?" The Nightmare Heart says, "Go fish," in all caps and red scratchy text. Grimm replies, "Not you."
my favorite part of the stanley parable was when the narrator said "it's narrin' time" and then narred all over those guys or whatever man i can't do this anymore
