Sky: COTL Polls!

A blog dedicated to random Sky: Children of the Light polls! Just for fun. Refer to the about page for guidelines.

[thatskypoll]

thatskypoll is open for submissions!

Hello! I created this blog to find the answers to the burning questions everyone in the Sky community has, such as "Which base game cape color is your favorite?" and "What food do you think Grandma is serving?"

This blog is just for fun, but I'd appreciate if some people would send in some submissions or asks for poll questions (and options, if necessary). I would just as much appreciate people sharing polls on their blogs, if they want. The more, the merrier! Thank you all very much!

We're so hungry for lore

[that-howling-sky-kid]

I'm more invested in the lore sorry 😂

[serene-sky-kid]

The entire skyfandom are Lore enthusiasts I'm sorry but I need my worldbuilding and to know what the HECK HAPPENED

[thatskypoll]

Just to clarify, I put worldbuilding as separate from lore with the implication that lore/history is about the main storyline regarding the kingdom's fall vs. worldbuilding consisting of the cultural details of the kingdom! I was hoping to make that apparent by putting lore/history instead of just lore, but maybe I should've put culture alongside/instead of worldbuilding...? 😅
