Thorn/Javimaki

i really like the idea that vyn kept a modern vibe on fauna with his outfit while wiwi and dakota went full fantasy, kinda sucks we never got a description of his outfit tho but i really like what i came up with, just kinda combining rogueish attire with the style he wears on prime. also made his sword completely not like it actually canonically looks like because i like the idea of it being yellow/golden like his dagger is. at first i wanted to have his details be silver but it just stood out too much against his dark clothes but he looks so good in gold it all works out now

also i think it would be very funny if williams outfit was the most decorated and fancy and weird as the guy whos edgy and trying to not stand out so much. i imagine his eyes would have a stronger glimpse of blue in them than he usually does to kinda represent him being filled with magic now. also he definitely should have sneakers on for the bit but i wanted to draw those cute boots so so bad, which is also why i made his robe shorter to show them off. his hat fully just dissipates at the end like flame or even smoke because obviously it does. also made his hair have more of the white patches because thats fun

for dakota i just really went with the description that was given cause it immediately gave me the vision and was just sick as hell, grizz really knows what hes talking about when he makes up his characters outfits i love that guys vision, hope i got it right but idk how good i am at drawing without visual references and just working off description. for personal touches i just added a lot of jewerly, i always draw him wearing a gold chain and wanted to keep that, but i also wanted to add some more bracelets besides the ones that were described cause dakota strikes me as a guy who just really likes to accessorize. hes a fashion girly in my brain it just makes sense. also his bandana ties back his hair because i really wanted to keep it visible on his head and i think its awesome for him to use it as a hair tie this way tee hee

everyone got a braid because its fantasy, you just gotta have at least one.

The entire album is about questioning your beliefs and ideals, it's about the shattering of a whole worldview and the fear that comes with it. It doesn't get more Gillion Tidestrider than that!

Constellations is the first song from this album that I added to the playlist, and it's also placed as the second song for Gillion.

This song is about the beliefs you have carried all your life, the ones that you've clung to, crumbling down before you slowly.

These lyrics make me think about Gill repeating "it's my destiny!!" over and over, talking about the prophecy and his oath as undeniable truths even when he couldn't even understand them. Even when he was so uncertain. Even when he didn't fully believe in them or himself. He still tried to make sense of it all.

Then, the more he looked for answers and some glimpses of certainty, he got quite the opposite. It was all fake, and it was all twisted and damn it I wished it meant I can just have a normal life

I think this song drags from the start of his story up until the last episodes (at least 128)

Notos is, from my perspective, about the feelings of regret and guilt that come from living a life that now you know was wrong in some way.

For Gill it would've been that feeling of drowning every time he thought he failed, every time he didn't feel worthy

Something something "I thought if I got stronger I would still be able to keep pushing it" something something "the one that I truly hated the most was myself"...

Before episode 128 my thoughts for these lyrics were about his monologue inside the Luxbris Pearl "the truth is I.Hate.You..." you probably know the rest. Nerd.

I think both interpretations work for this song!

Special mention: This specific line from Torches

Gill often mentioned how ruthless the undersea was when justifying his violent behavior, especially at the beginning. Later it becomes clear that he himself was a victim of this, and he actually resents it. (My immediate thought was how the elders don't remember why he was banished, yet they refuse to give him a second chance).
