You don't have asks open on your silksong sideblog so I'm asking here but I desperately need to know your thoughts on the mention of 'sylphean slug' in the pale oil's description
Wait sideblogs can have asks? I'll have to look if I have to check some configuration or smthn
Sylphean slug brings the sylphsong (Eva's art) to mind
Pale oil to me clearly has some sort of connection to pale beings and/or soul like pale ore does, and the way it turns hivesteel into palesteel (yes, I think it's being turned, not merely revealed to secretly being made of it) reminds me of how the Palestag is described as "touched pale", and sylphsong regenerates silk which is to say soul
Sylph is a type of air or wind spirit
The pale king has some sort of tie to wind, with both monarchflies and the cast off shell producing it
The Latin for soul, anima, as in what animates a body, means breath
If you wanna include some speculation, aura, which seems to be an expression of the soul or at least of one's crest, can be used to weaponize wind
So yeah it's all one big soul/pale connection
