moonjumper lore fans
hi it’s another hc post. cw for long post and her hurting and controlling people. yay!
> doesn’t remember why she suddenly became what she is, all she remembers is that she became this for Vanessa. The first thing she remembers doing after tearing out of an oozing cocoon is eating a curious castle guards head off.
> clung to the ceilings. started to learn that she could sense and see through her magic thread, and used it while she hid in the subcon castle attic area.
> she saw depictions of subcon kingdoms “guardian moon spirit”, and decided that must have been her. Turns out Moonjumper is a species name, the other Moonjumpers call her princess due to the way she dresses and conducts herself
> Vanessa caught her pretending to be Prince, and the other Moonjumpers being not too keen on all the rules she was breaking helped them seal her into the space called the horizon.
> the horizon being a location above the twilight realm. Moonjumpers that specialize in blocking paths took care of keeping her inside. But she was able to get her strings to reach earth, where she started gathering materials to sew a puppet to use down there.
(old art for this one teehee)
> a couple centuries pre canon events, Mj used magic to start making the moon habitable, then governing it.
> at first she stringed and controlled her disliked citizens. Made them speak praises of the city she built. The only reason she began doing that less is boredom.
> a club was built on the moon that had the best music she’s heard in centuries. the bar tender didn’t really know her. She was treated like a decent person, and started understanding that she was too afraid of being hated to let others make accurate judgments of her. She didn’t become completely good, but she finally began criticizing herself. The first step to her was being someone that didn’t get banned from the bar; without using her strings.
> allowed someone else to run for governor of the moon. Eventually she got authentically elected to be the mayor.
> she keeps spiraling backwards, but attempts to find her way again eventually. She’s on Santa’s nuanced list.
