made my own priestess keychain because i never find merch of her !!!
(poorly documented) process below the cut
so first fan merch!! This isn’t art advice / production advice (the keychain was for my mental illness shits and giggles) so this is just as a little journal entry for a very cool experience
yes. i have a thing for the Tara and Predecessor/Originium storylines. and hooded people i guess.
OG PNGs & Ramblings
Rule: No Dupes
Fave Char: Decadenza - *vaguely gestures at everything about her (except her og name ig)*
HATED Char: Puzzle - i’d let him gaslight me. i’d hit him with a car.
(don’t really have a least fave that makes me care so)
Pretty Design: Shu - unique fit ++ never expected blue + yellow but it works nicely
Cool Design: Crownslayer
Fave Voice: Eblana - i’d let her gaslight me.
Fave Design: Wulfenite - chubby snek with glasses
Fave Lore: Kal’tsit - 13,000 years and learning to find herself and her home …
Most Used: Projekt Red - funny stun. beloved daughter.
Started: Ebenholz - AK player friend converted me via Ständchen
Shared Birth Month: Reed (and Eblana)
Guard: Gracebearer - design & voicelines
Sniper: Blue Poison - one of my og faves. relevant color scheme.
Defender: Friston - “he doesn’t think of himself as a robot”
Medic: Honeyberry - love and joy and therapy
Supporter: Earthspirit - voicelines
Caster: Harmonie - silly kitty and her gay disastrous history of exes (tied with Mantra & Miss Christine but she just rotates in my brain) (also i hate how they make Mantra Smooth.)
Specialist: Exusiai: LOVE AND JOY AND HRT !!
Vanguard: Cantabile - deserves love and joy
Fave Alter: Pramanix - floof and story
Fave Robot: Confess-47 - it’s just so funny to me okay.

Fave 4*: ESTELLE - OG FAVE !! FIRST E2 !!! I LOVE MY DAUGHTER
Fave 5*: Amiya - I LOVE MY DAUGHTER !!!
Fave 6*: Civilight Eterna - why did theresa leave a copy of herself. that’s pretty messed up. i love women’s wrongs. (and theresa herself is one of my faves)
Fave E2 Art: Mon3tr - all the references in her e2 ++ the colors
Obligatory Faves
Priestess - i’d let her gaslight me.
Doctor - *gestures at Babel and Vigilo - Cogitatio* funniest freak i’ve seen.
Serious answer - can’t discuss one without the other tbh. the whole idea of hope and debates and language and love and loneliness
not happy with the designs, but i like the idea that Priestess & Oracle / Doctor had friends before everything went wrong™️
ideas + canon references below the cut
Friston / The Preserver
also The Photographer [Friston-3 has a camera] [Friston-3 Trust Tap]
has a wife/daughter [Friston-3 Talk after Trust 3]
gold hair like his daughter (like Kristen) [Ep 15-11]
at least 60 years old [Friston-3 Talk 2]
I like to think his daughter would doodle often. Which is why Friston-3 makes use of “expression doodles”
Ed / The Security
Owned a restaurant. The last person to still slay and butcher animals [ARG#3 Oracle’s Voice Diary]
I like to think he’s one of the last (besides Oracle) to keep using their real names instead of codenames. Because “he opposed forgetting” [Oracle’s Voice Diary]. Because the PCS wanted to retain individual cognition and personalities, even if they were connected [The Masses’ Travels MT-9-Before].
Among all of them (besides Priestess), he and Oracle seemed to leave on the worst terms— at least based on Oracle’s tone in [Oracle’s Voice Diary]
I like to think she has long hair, flowing like water. I don’t think it should be tied up but (1) Priestess’ hair is already down (2) I legitimately cannot take the image of Limbus Hong Lu off her
Would be funny if she has weird eating habits like the Seaborn (and Oracle)
They seem to be pretty close even; Oracle’s gentlest when speaking to her [Oracle’s Voice Diary]
Probably willing to be sacrificed for the sake of others (like the Seaborn)
Ama-10 / Kal’tsit
i actually can’t tell if she was humanoid yet [Ep 15-8-Before has her purring ??]
But she definitely chose to take Terran / Feline features at some resurrection point
Kal’tsit i love you
Priestess
canon design surprisingly has subtle rhombus shapes. i just accentuated them
i think it’s funny if she and Oracle were disgustingly codependent. Even back then, they make their relationship (whatever it is) everyone’s problem
Priestess I hate you (i will do everything i can to understand you)
Oracle / Doctor
i will die defending they/them canon
Short, messy hair to contrast Priestess’
Hair has that weird 1 long strand at the side, like Kal’tsit
Predecessor coat design roughly from [Eclipse MV]
They seem to eventually feel alienated by their own friends [Babel BB-ST-3, where they mention that others preferred to call them Oracle instead of Doctor, aka a more grounded role which aims to save lives] (i will finish my analysis on this someday)
