Wildlight My Beloved

Everyone forgets about the fireshield earrings!

Probably a stretch to say they'd canonically prevent at least mild pain in a campfire, but they absolutely do extinguish Sky/Link any time he catches fire in his game. Which is more often than you'd think >u< (for the purposes of the comic this is a completely pain-free prank for Sky lol)

My entry for LU March Madness 2026, Day 7: “That shouldn’t be flammable.” Thanks for the event @ixtaek !

The aftermath

(Hope you enjoyed the art! If you comment, please keep it pg, I write/draw for all ages!)

Hoo boy y'all really liked the fireshield earring comic, that thing's gone past 2k notes, I'm flattered! 

Here's what I imagine happened after the prank, as originally written in a reply to a comment:

Sky would roll himself out of the fire before anyone tried any unnecessary heroics and actually got hurt trying to save him. And when his earrings activate and everyone just stares at his unharmed body in shock? He absolutely looses it. Full on deep-to-wheezy laugh until he's gasping for breath, and while some of the others want to scold him for scaring them like that, they just can't stay mad at him and can't help but laugh along. Wild gets several great pictures but is also assigned first watch with Sky as "punishment" when the Chain finds out he was involved. Of course, Sky's been laughing so hard that he can't help but drop into a deep sleep after a few minutes, leaving Wild to do first watch alone. Wild lets it slide. He has funny pictures to keep him up ^u^

Also thank you to the Anon Ask yesterday that said the Sky and Wild prank duo tracks! I wasn't completely comfortable posting the ask as it had an abbreviated swear but I'm so thankful that you liked the fire shenanigans, haha!

RULES: make a new post with the names of all the art/writing files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous, and tag as many people as you have WIPs. People send an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and find you post a snippet or tell them something about it!

WIP List:

1. Gaslight, Gatekeep, Deadboss (does it still count if I plan on posting it Sunday lol)

2. All Blades

1. Forged Connections

2. Tales of the Mother

3. Cult of the Poppy

4. Thalia

22 March - Ever Given Eve. Many celebrate by completing some small task they’ve been putting off, symbolically clearing blockages in their own lives.

23 March - Blockage Day! The main celebration. The exchanging of memes.

24 to 28 March - Hilarity ensues. Memes continue to circulate. The best are saved for next year’s observances.

He calls her childish because her idealism is very child-coded, in a way that a kid wouldn’t want to hurt anyone, stop the bad guy, and leave the horrible place. So he calls her childish because she either doesn’t care or isn’t considering the implications of being able to leave. She even agreed that he was right in one of the tapes after the HoJ.

But really she’s just in not any position to do anything. Her body is tiny and weak, she is perhaps one of the smartest toys besides the Prototype himself, but her physical restriction makes her vulnerable in the factory. She could feasibly leave and live pretending to be a doll. Well. Could have.

Poppy is severely underutilized and under characterized explicitly. But I think we can characterize her well enough with what little we have. Sawyer has a complicated past and history to unravel so him needing more makes sense. We don’t have as much on the prototype because that’s part of the mystery. We still have almost nothing on poppy besides her being the first, and we aren’t entirely certain if she predates the prototype. He’s almost certainly the first bigger body. But they didn’t start with the bigger bodies.

Spoiler ahead turn back now
