(the theme song for this blog's overall content is great to have in the background as you browse hehe.)

MYE howdy!I draw this little guy for you 'cause I love them so much.plus your arts are wonderful as always.🥰🥰. Hope you enjoy it,desireing to get more sweet but sorrow stories from basalt

ooooh they're so preciouuuuss!!! thank you so much aghhh i love their big sweet eyes and the pretty clouds, they really do deserve all the adventures 😭😭😭 i love it!! i wondered what they could possibly be seeing so i figured i'd fill that in hehehe

This thought popped into my noggin bc I was listening to Yararara and thought "this song would be the perfect themesong for Bramblers in general"

oooh that's an interesting question! i've actually only come up with something i consider to be Feldspar's theme (still need to think it through tho, like the rest of the planets). however, i do have something for Leviathans!

aughhh thank youuu 😭😭 i appreciate hearing that so much!! i think this community is super creative and i always leave the art tag feeling so inspired. i sometimes have a passing thought that my content is a little too niche or indulgent to be seen as serious Outer Wilds fanart, but then i remember i started this blog to be exactly that.

so i’ve been completely addicted to making hearthians in this game, but seeing as i’ve. kinda run out of characters to add. i’ve just been making peoples ocs that i’m fond of ^^,,

thought you might like to get a look at ur basalt, cus they’re freaking adorable!!!

u should also know how much of a MENACE they’ve been. they’ve only been here for a couple hours, and so far they’ve used this time to EAVESDROP ON RUTILE’S WOES,

and shout TONE DEAF VULGARITIES RIGHT NEXT TO TEKTITE.

like read the room. and watch your mouth 🫵🫵🫵💥

…aside from antagonizing their elders tho, they’ve been having fun singing sweet little songs, admiring other gabbros, and.

discussing sapwine with spinel????? (whatever catches the fish ig)

so yea, what’s what ur hatchling’s been up to!! and sorry about the profanities i made those for slate 😭😭🙏

ok bye now!! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

ooohhhhh radd they're so CUUUUUUTE 😭😭 you made them look so precious i can'tttttt raaah and of course such a cute face can only belong to a menace..... Spinel PLEASE consider not incentivizing your hatchling to drink sapwine they're clearly not ready for that

thank you so much for adding them!! you made them look perfect with the raincoat, the bit with gabbro is so sweet actually, and it's fitting that they'd sing things around given they were the singer to riebeck's banjo during their duets ::')

have my basalt and your basalt being menaces together!!! (and gaze upon how sweet my spinel sibs are, they match.....)

Hello!! You're my favorite artist in the Outer Wilds community, and I absolutely love your linework, colors, and the vivid personalities you give characters!

Anyway, I made fanart for your HSS AU! The different customs, clothing designs, and appearance variations for each planet are just so amazing😭I had a lot of fun drawing it!

English isn't my first language, so I apologize if I've made any mistakes::(Thank you for creating such wonderful work! 💛

WOAAAAAAHHH THAT IS SO COOL 😭😭😭 oh my gosh, children!!! first of all thank you so much for your kind words, this fandom is full of incredible people so i'm very flattered <3 <3 they look absolutely dashing!! i love that despite how accurate they are your style fits them so well!! feldspar is so grump and chert is so badass aaaahhh, gabbro and riebeck look super sweet and the hatchling is so cute! also that color coding is delightful 💛💛

bramble taunt!!! it's a signature move bramblers do, used to simulate the anglerfish's open maw given they have long claws that look like teeth, with their face poking out of it. looks quite intimidating when it's an actual brambler doing it.

outside that demographic, it's used as a gesture in scary hatchling stories. nothing like a cautionary tale about anglerfish and the people who live among them! (usually told by folks who haven't ever gone near Dark Bramble, anyway.)

hehehe..... like mentor like student
