I'm so excited to finally bring you all the first chapter of the first Troceath story, "Shattered Stars"! Feedback is very welcome, as this is my first time publishing on AO3.

A new batch of Troceath adoptables are now available on Ko-fi!

(Please look at the most recent version of this post for which adoptables are still available!)

These are inspired by various sea creatures here on Earth. You can decide whether or not they're actual species hybrids when you purchase them, as well as their name and gender!

Thank you so much for your ongoing support!

HEY!!! THIS BLOG ISN'T DEAD!!! YIPPEE!!!

Anyway, you're probably wondering what's going on about the world of Troceaths and new content about them. Luckily for you, I've got PLENTY of good news!

The first official Troceath story is in the works! The first chapter will be releasing on Archive of Our Own soon, and you will be able to find future updates there whenever they drop. The story is titled "Shattered Stars", and our writer for the first chapter is the wonderfully talented @backlitrabbit, aka Dante! I hope you're looking forward to reading it!

The Picrew has had its' first major update! This update includes the addition of facial tendrils (mustaches & beards), heterochromia, new mouth shapes, new outfits, and updated selection icons. Give it a try, there's so much more customization options! (And rest assured, more updates will come over time.)

Troceath merch is on the way! I've recently joined a new online shop that has merch options that aren't available on sites like RedBubble and TeePublic, and I'll be sharing that once merch has been properly added to it. Right now, the designs are in the works, so stay tuned!

The next batch of adoptables is almost done! I know I've been working on them for a while, but my accidental art hiatus lasted longer than I would have liked. A post will be made when the adopts are available on my Ko-fi page.

Thank you so much for your ongoing patience and support! I can't wait for you all to see what's in store for these little aliens! 🌟

WHO ARE THEY? (Pt. 2/4)

THAM (They/He/It)

Tham is an Illithid, also known as a mind flayer. They are detached from the Mother Brain that typically allows Illithids to be as a hivemind, so they are wholly their own individual. And although this means that their power is also lessened as a result, Tham’s psychic and telekinetic powers are still quite strong and impressive, which gives them an incredible upper hand in most situations.

These powers also serve them well as the spaceship’s intelligence officer. Tham has a sort of “mind sonar” which allows them to tell where people are in relation to themself, within a certain radius. They have to concentrate to catch the other person’s thoughts and pinpoint exactly where they are, but this makes it easy to tell if someone is feeling in danger. The more familiar with a person they are, the easier it is to spot them.

Additionally, if they can tell that someone is lying about something important, Tham is capable of forcing them to tell the truth. They can get surface-level thoughts from someone’s mind just from being in the same area as them, and depending on if they think they’re a threat or not, he may or may not ask permission before digging around deeper in someone else’s mind. In the case of Cyrus, the first time they met, Tham did not give him that courtesy.

Nowadays, though, Tham is entirely devoted to Cyrus. As long as they both continue to work and live on their current spaceship, Tham is satisfied enough with continuing their current line of work as the intel officer. Tham is aware of Cyrus’ dream to captain his own ship, and wants to help him achieve that goal and continue to live with him. Wherever Cyrus goes, Tham will follow.

Tham is additionally aware of Cyrus’ feelings for Helios, and does not want to dissuade Cyrus from feeling the way he does. However, given their psychic abilities, Tham is also aware of just how deeply the hurt runs in Helios’ mind, and knows that it will take time, effort, and patience for Helios to recover enough for something like that. If Helios ever gets to the point where he allows himself to love Cyrus again, Tham is open to loving him in the same way.

This is where our story begins.

I'm so happy to finally be done with this! This is a piece that encapsulates the backstory of the Troceaths, and the most prominent characters within it.

If you have any questions about the story, the species, or the characters, my askbox is open!! :D

Also, it took me WEEKS to finish this, sooo~

EDIT 10/22/25: Just as a fun little bonus, have the speedpaint for this piece.
