Can the vacker family, for once, try not to be involved in a scandal/controversy? How many times are we gonna have to cancel them bro </3
Hlo Do you have any theories on the origin of elves? I've seen someone explain that elves are genetic mutations in humans that eventually turned into full blown elf characteristics. Starting from blue eyes and then so on. But since the elves are said to have saved the dinosaurs from going extinct, and humans definitely did not exist during that period of time, they definitely could not have been genetic mutations?
I personally prefer to stay the heck away from origin stories/evolution and all that because 1) I suck at biology and 2) I have little interest in theories that Shannon probably won't confirm or deny (she says in her FAQ that if a worldbuilding detail is not expanded on in the series, then she leaves it to the readers' imagination. I don't like that when it comes to big worldbuilding bits which intend to fix plot holes).
I do have one (1) theory that may or most likely may not be confirmed in Elysian, and it's that the elves used to have much, much shorter lifespans. I'm talking 20-30 years old, which is why they don't seem to age past that. And it's not because of a lack of hygiene or healthy food or an abundance of predators or anything (in fact, their short lives is what drove them to specialise in cutting-edge medicine for millenia), but because they were just... hard-wired like that.
So, based on my theory that Elysian is Death (as in, the embodiment of the elves' ability to die from old age) or at least the Keeper of Death, someone (Fallon Fallon Fallon) pulled a Sisyphus (or perhaps Orpheus) on her and locked her up for thousands of years.
And that's how the elves are able to live for so long... yet there doesn't seem to be an elf older than Fallon (who is 6,000+), even though you would need to go back MILLIONS of years ago to even meet a dinosaur.
Because the elves used to die young.
Keeptober Day 8! Family!
"Gimme a sec, Luzia, I gotta tuck the kids into bed"
They're kind of a dysfunctional family, huh
@keeptober2025
I was thinking, and.. what if the original Council, instead of having gemstones, were assigned one of the prime sources? The sun, moon, and starlight
So..
And all of the prime sources are stated that ‘The sources unite without fighting to take control’, which is probably what the Council was meant to be when it was first made
they would totally go to fallon for relationship advice (and then never listen to it)
og under cut
IM FINALLY DONE WITH THIS!!!!
My entry for keeper sexy man 2026 Fallon vacker.
@camelspit
I’m tired… and can’t draw backgrounds 😓
I wonder if Bronte ever goes to Fallon's house
and he just sits there listening to the even older guy yapping, and Bronte sits there politely, waiting for a few minutes until Fallon loses his train of thought, and Bronte gently puts him back on track without ever making Fallon feel bad about forgetting things.
I wonder if Bronte leaves at the end of the day (because it takes an entire day to get through conversations with Fallon) and Bronte just lays there in his bed in his large councillor castle, wondering how long he will be able to remember stuff and how long until he can no longer be a councillor. Bronte starts putting his mind through memory games created by humans because he will do anything to keep from losing himself and control.
