since phosphora moves around the planet, they have interacted with other titans and colossals before! everyone thought they were very sweet

the seasonals are kind of like benevolent spirits/fae creatures. their main goal overall is to just spread joy for the sake of joy and they have like. themed magical abilities which grow stronger during their respective holidays because of course they do

its theorized that if a holiday stops being celebrated, no new instances of its seasonal will be able to appear. none of the monsters really want to test that theory though so i guess we will never know

the stable ethereals witnessed the creation of plasma islet because frankly how do you not notice that sort of thing happening. theyre all very concerned for zarroës sanity.

technically anything you could call a colossal is equally wrong since their true names are incomprehensible to mortals. none of the colossals have yet specified the intended pronunciation of their name, but the monsters have accepted some more widely than others (this one exists because i say zarroës name weird but no one needs to know that)

words like ‘singing’ or ‘playing’ can be used to refer to any music-making, especially on a grander scale like during the island songs

there is no mirror zarroë like how there are mirror versions of the other colossals! the zarroë we know is unique to the main timeline which is probably for the best

this might not a headcanon because its technically kind of canon but uh. zarroë has noodle arms and i find that a lot more hilarious than i probably should

as part of ^this: the other colossals do not have noodle arms even in their incorporeal forms. zarroë used to get teased about it sometimes

theres more than one type of critter on each island!! the ones we see in-game are simply the most populous/least skittish

enchantler originally did NOT like zarroë, because they were EXCEEDINGLY envious. the parallels between the two of them wanting to achieve an impossible goal are so strong, but here zarroë is actually DOING the thing.

^not to mention that being a colossal, they were just handed what enchantler worked so hard for and still couldnt achieve! zarr is not the quietest neighbor to have either, which was very disruptive to whatever sulking enchantler was trying to do.

^theyre chiller now, but its very much a sulky teen and mad scientist dynamic since enchantler is younger than zarr. zarroë thinks enchantler is cool if a little tetchy, enchantler thinks zarroë is annoying as hell and mostly stays in its room grove of trees

while monsters do have names, its up to the individual when they actually give out their name. usually it happens during the first or second meeting but if for whatever reason they dont, using a nickname or their species is acceptable

^some mons will have a secondary name/preferred nickname that they give out on first meetings and will give their primary name to closer friends

^with certain classes of monsters in which its unlikely that more than one instance of a given monster exists at once, its acceptable to not have a name outside of ones species. usually folks like to have one just for the sake of individuality/identity tho

bright blue as a color is very heavily associated with powerful magics (see: its prevalence in relation to zarroë, enchantler, stair shaper, life formula/spark of life, probably more that i missed)

even before the crocus arrives (is born? blooms??) cruv'laapht often protects the torus from asteroids, either by snatching them up as they pass or by getting hit by one they didnt see.

titansouls generally begin life as a bit of a blank slate since theyre supposed to be sort of like the mouthpiece/avatar of the titans. the reason they have distinct personalities is because the titans usually remain in their own minds and bodies since its more convenient for them

the titans and titansouls have a symbiotic relationship-the titan is now able to sing and can keep a better eye on the ecosystem/inhabitants of the island (which is extremely important to the health of the titan) meanwhile the titansoul gains access to all the magical prowess, knowledge, etc of the titan and cannot get hurt/ill unless their titan does

Remembered something I did before with the current two titansouls meeting up to talk, I thought to myself that I should post it here in case anyone else was interested. Putting it all under the cut.

Phlox and Crocus do not meet up often. It is very hard for them to do so because of one of them is constantly on the move and the other is in space. Even with the potentials of things like portals, being a Titansoul means they are often busy

When they do meet up though, Crocus cannot help but feel a ping of jealousy. Whilst they are tethered to Cruv'laapht Phlox is able to not just walk, but FLOAT freely. They try to not let this emotion get to them though, as they are their friend and equal. And as (currently) the only two of their kind, they will need to stick together

The few times that these two meet, it is often to discuss the current state of the other Titansouls. While we can't see them in game, I believe that the other two are actually out. They're just still gestating in their seed pods. While Phlox travels to the other magical islands, they take pictures of the pods and make records of their current state. They then give these to Crocus, who keeps them as a way to track if the flowers are soon to bloom

Phlox also takes other pictures of more fun and entertaining moments to give Crocus. They have their own little hut on the island that they keep these and other personal possessions in(while connected to the titan, I think they can still traverse via burrowing underground)

These meetings are very bittersweet for Crocus, because it makes them feel so bad about their jealousy. Phlox cares enough about them to not only make the time to meet them, but also give them gifts that they think they would like! They love their home, but why did they have to be tethered? If they were just able to roam, just a bit, this awful feeling that they harbor towards their comrade could go away...

Some more msm headcanons because I have thoughts

Ethereal epic wubbox’s cape was actually Zarroë’s!! It was the only thing he had left of them after the cataclysm and he wanted to keep it safe for them. After a while he lost hope of ever seeing them again, but he still kept the cape.

Zarroë still hasn’t asked for the cape back because they know it’s way more important to him than it is to them.

Bemeebeth isn’t coping well with all of the quads going to their separate islets. He’s aware he can’t go, but he’s beginning to feel lonely, as if he doesn’t belong anywhere. (Inspired by the lyrics on workshop; ‘what do I become?’ And ‘Can’t separate’ )

Auglur worries a lot about the wellbeing of the other monsters, especially after whaill’s disappearance. They were one of the first monsters to know about bemeebeth’s existence besides vhenshun and king meeb. They would sit by the synthesiser so that he’d feel less alone.

Vhenshun knew about bemeebeth because he was created at about the some time as the synthesiser’s creation, king meeb knows because he was made partially to keep the synthesiser safe from harm.

The titansouls are *technically* a successful version of this, but they still have their own personalities outside of their respective titans.

The elder lowb can also move around, but are a lot more sluggish than their younger counterparts, so they usually prefer to remain sedentary.

A bogle can use its tentacles to grab things similar to how a vacuum would, utilising suction to pick things up and put them down. Sometimes, however, this can lead to things getting stuck in their dome or the tentacle itself, which can cause some discomfort or pain depending on the size and/or shape of the item.
