Hey Everyone, Feel Free To Ignore This If You’re Not Interested In My Headcanons! I Just Wanted To

how I think the elders would draw themselves!

reasonable...

Traitor lord's backstory

Here's the 30 sec sketch I did a week ago to not forget this idea, because I find it really funny:

-and here's the radiance panel without text because I spent too much time on it.

this would be funny to imagine but this is too ooc (sadly..)

Oro : <is about to actually throw away the Pale Flower>

Hornet : hey there :)

and that’s how Oro got to keep the flower.

You know what I love? I love that the valley twins aren’t carbon copies from each other!!!

and you might be wondering, well how exactly? I’ll show you!!!!! (Because I’ve spent way to much time staring at them, also this post is very long) (and i use old concept art names to refer to them as such, its just what i'm used to, they aren't cannon)

Body types

different body types! Sah (spike hair) has more wide shoulders than Mekh (flat hair). And because of this, Sah has the most slay snatched waist I’ve ever seen JEBEJVDHE even mekh's waist isint as snatched

Prosthetic's

If you don’t already know (and I don’t blame you) the twins have prosthetic arms on where their eyes are missing. (They’re practically invisible in their cutscene, and even their pin doesn’t have them, I hate it.) anyways they both have different patterns!

Mekh’s, is more detailed, has a shoulder decoration and generally more to it.

And Sahs’ is more simple, it gets the job done. I feel like from the look on their prosthetic's alone you can get an idea of their tastes :3

Another quick think but it also seems Mekh’s uniform is sleeveless on the side of where their prosthetic is! Sah has both of their sleeves. I wonder why?

Gloves

Even their gloves are different! Sah’s glove (left) for their prosthetic is thumbless, the other fingerless. When both of Mekh’s (left) gloves are fingerless!

A detail i'm not sure off, but it also seems like the gloves on both twins prosthetic's are bunched up more compare to the gloves on their live arms.

Sticks

I noticed this on my recent eden trip that the sticks the twins hold when you complete the constellation are different too!! Mekh's stick on the ends have more width, and Sah’s is more consistent with width. Which is just— so fucking cool!! They have their own sticks!!!!! They’re not just copy and paste!!!!!!!!

Stances

this isint leaked, this was a wip from their orbit gift animation by Ari Flesch from his artstation account (who made the animation) which i've linked.

Anyways different stances!!! Mekh has their feet together when Sah doesn't! You can also see what I mean about the ends of their sticks having different width's much clearer!!!

Sah’s Cracked Mask

My fav detail is Sah’s mask (also not in the pin and invisible in cutscenes), they have a crack over their eye when Mekh doesn’t! This small detail has gave me so many evil ideas on how they got it and it makes me wonder HOW it even happened. :3

Cutscene Details

OH BOY CUTSCENE TIME, HERE'S THINGS IVE NOTICED!!

Sah seems to hold their paddle backwards when Mekh doesn’t. But Sah still ends up in the same position as Mekh despite that! (maybe to one up, who knows) But that show's that even here, their animations weren't just copy pasted, there's DIFFERENCES!!

Mekh is faster than Sah, and even shows Mekh being the first to leap up and land when approaching the player, when Sah is just starting to land in the 2nd image. This makes the timing of it intentional!!

okay i think thats it thats all i can remember atm!! Ofc there’s so much more, but this post is more focused on the details that can be missed by normal folks. So I thought I share the ones that might be interesting to see that you might’ve not known about.

but yes, thank you to the folks of tgc in charge of their character design's and animation's for not giving the twins the copy paste treatment. Thank you for making them have their own quirks, their own personalities, and their own differences!!!!

Thank you for making them their own person!

Drama night with mom!

What the fans say:

Jesus and Judas:

- Betrayal 😔

- It’s just a 2000 year old story of betrayal and sadness that lead to Jesus dying. It’s like Romeo and Juliet before Romeo and Juliet.

Zemer and The Traitor’s Child:

- Forbidden love. Ze'mer was one of the Five Great Knights of the Kingdom of Hallownest, but she was said to have come from a mysterious far off land. Hallownest had a hesitant truce with a nation called the Mantis Tribe, which had four Lords as leaders. Ze'mer became lovers with the daughter of one of these lords (who later went on to betray his sisters, thus referred to as the Traitor Lord), but the mantises rejected their union because of Ze'mer's "outsideness". We don't know much about the events from this point to when the time period when the game takes place (only that it is at least centuries, if not more - the kingdom became under a sort of stasis), but at some point the Traitor's Child died and was buried in the Traitor Lord's new lands far away from Ze'mer, who has been mourning alone ever since. When visited by the player, she has one request: for them to take one of her Delicate Flowers to her lover's grave. She can move on and finally die only after this final gift.

they :(
