oughghghghghgghhhhhh there's just something about phantnet that makes me want to draw them dance

a little odd phantnet/wraithnet/wraithtom doodle dump under the cut

also the whole idea of wraiths stealing hornet's silk and delivering it to phantom is largely inspired by this post by kelocitta, check it out, it gives me brainworms

idk if i liked how i drew phantoms hair in the first two drawings but have some phantnet/wraithnet/wraithtom

When you think about it, Wraithtom is lowk a depressing ship cus the way I see it like... the wraiths are projections of Phantom's wills/desires, and Phantom is so utterly lonely that it manifests the wraiths into being caring for them, stitching their injuries, talking to them , giving them attention that Mother never could, but in the end its really just Phantom talking to their projections/themself as they slowly wither away in their isolation in the exhaust organ.

Yous aid you needed phantnet ideas, so may I draw your attention to several facts? 1) the wraiths are explicitly a projection of Phantom's will. 2) The wraiths take 3 strands of Hornet's silk. Literally suck it out of her. 3) If you look at a Lace & Phantom thread memory, Phantom is weirdly Hovering in a Tube, while Lace is looking up at Phantom in a tube.

The conclusion I draw from all of this, is that Phantom is starving. Hornet notes their silk has turned gray and brittle from age. Given how much silk in the Citadel is still fine, it would imply Phantom has not had fresh silk in an extremely long time. They are starving. Ravenous hunger for what lurks in Hornet's shell being held back only by the promise of release at the tip of Hornet's needle.

So, imagine for a moment, their final fight. Phantom's swansong. Only... Hornet stays the killing below. She doesn't want to kill Phantom. So she catches their pin, and tears it away. Pinning Phantom down, but refusing them death.

Phantom is furious, and hungry, and Hornet is trying to make a dramatic speech about life being possible & worth living, and Phantom doesn't hear a fucking word of it. They just fucking bite her. Chomp chomp.

It's not really effective, what with being made of brittle silk. Maybe they could tear her cloak. But I think the emotion behind it still gets across.

bite! bite that stupid spider
