Sorry these'll be slow going ahahh

Cham for @kirtini !

First attack and first revenge of the art fight season!!!

okay im normal. who said that

their ears are so cool, is there significance to how they're shaped? and what's one of their little "idle animations" so to speak? what little things do they do when just standing around, that is?

You 🤝 Me

Loving those design choices for theys 💙

For Pebble’s ears I actually had two ideas in mind that I decided to combine for them!

I wanted the ears to have a closer resemblance to the gills of axolotls, but stylized similarly to the game! Plus a third notch, like what other Hearthians have on their ears, that was purposefully put in by Hatchling themself.

I also wanted to given them “feelers” that were unique from what I’ve seen in other people’s Hearthian designs, so they were placed at the base and made long to kind of resemble dangling earrings.

Heheheeee yeah

I was toying with the idea of post-sunstation Mylo breaking down and having a denial episode and wondering if Hornfels could find something they missed at the station, if maybe there was still a way to save everyone after all.

Spoiler. There isn't :'}

For snippets the entire breakdown scene is so good so have a couple pieces of it :}

One day i will return to this, i desperately need more mentor/parental Hornfels content in my life rahhhhh!!!

You didn’t specify which #9, so you get all of them for Slate/Hornfels! Answers under the cut!

answering for whichever pair i vibe with for the questions!! ::3

Firsts:

8. Who got the first hickey?

gossan >::3 feldspar is definitely the type to show affection through love bites sometimes and gossan has gotten plenty of those through the years!!

Intimacy:

8. Do either of them tell awful jokes just to hear the other groan?

gossan and feldspar would probably tell the awful jokes to each other!!! like as a little game to see who tells the awfulest joke or “if you laugh, you lose” kind of game!!

OH gabbro definitely would tell awful jokes to hear chert groan LOL, it helps loosen chert up even if they don’t admit it and as a result it endears them to gabbro i think <3

Communication:

8. Do they talk about their intimacy preferences, or just go with the flow?

i think it’s a mix of both for gossan and feldspar? they seem like they’d go with the flow (and they do!), but at the same time they do also talk about their intimacy preferences so they both feel comfortable in the relationship!!

chert and gabbro would talk about their preferences I think, i know chert especially is the type to want to talk about things like that i think. and gabbro is perfectly fine with talking preferences too <3 like once they’re in a relationship they definitely try to make sure it’s okay to take things slow if they want to.

Preferences:

8. Are they each other's "type"?

gossan and feldspar sure are >::3 though they never really had types to begin with? though for this question i’d say their type is their best friend <3 and they have each other as best friends and lovers all in one!!

gabbro and chert are very much opposites in a way, so initially they weren’t really one another’s type!! however science brought them together; and when they learned more about each other and saw one another’s good points love slowly began to brew

Aaaa! I had so much fun with these tysm for asking for them!

A little bit of tonal whiplash but ehehehe!

18: With an OC from a different Media

Idk how but Rosie managed to get to earth and upon meeting Tuni they immediately went to go bug hunting in the garden! Rosie is absolutely fascinated with the fact that these snails only have TWO eyes!!

(Petunia/Tuni is the daughter of the MC in my unfinished game!!)

20: In space

!!!! TYSM for sending an ask!

So 19 was already asked in [THIS] ask but as for the rest of them

20. What is your Hatchling’s favorite planet?

Okay so. Obvious answer is the Interloper because that was literally their obsession since they were a wee hatchling, but TECHNICALLY that's a comet and not a planet so...

If Mylo had to pick a favourite planet it would probably be Giant's deep! It's where Gabbro is and the only planet that is mildly unstressful.

Sure the Ember Twin has Chert on it but it's also where they experienced one of the worst deaths they've been through. Brittle hollow's got the black hole, dark bramble is SCARY, and timber hearth is too bitter sweet.

Giant's deep, while filled with tornadoes, atleast has a hammock they can curl up in and their Time Buddy who always welcomes them with open arms.

28. Is your Hatchling a decent pilot? Were they always that way?

Oh stars no. Even after a solid YEAR or so of looping they still bonk their landing gear on rocks or set their auto pilot too soon leaving Timber Hearth and get slingshotted into the ground by the atmosphere. (Totally not because I, the player who controls them, am terrible at flying lmaoooo)

31. Is your Hatchling flirtatious?

NO LMAO. I feel like they try to be a little bit but they are so silly and dorky that they just can't pull it off. Plus they crumble into dust whenever anyone flirts with them, cannot dish AND cannot take.

32. Is your Hatchling dating anyone? If so, who?

OH BOY. AN EXCUSE TO GO OFF ABOUT STARTNERS??? YIPPEEE!!

You have no idea what you've just unleashed.

Okay, so simple answer is that Mylo is dating Chert and are ???ing Gabbro.

(Gonna put the long version as well as the freebie under the cut cause its getting LONG already)
