Yknow what bothered me of the SM series? The fact that the most common demon type we see just has no clothes or makeup or specific hair styles. Screw modesty, I'm more annoyed because these things are often a first indication of culture.

So.... the boys are getting clothes and that was the major change in this concept for Sam and his mother in their demon form.

The kingdom Dracae was born under and Sam was raised under was the Belladium Kingdom. It's (VAGUELY) based off Aztec culture appearance wise. It was known for their warriors and wisdom in battle strategy. The person are known to be quite territorial, family oriented and have the belief that the elderly, children and anyone else vulnerable need to be supported as that's how you create the most universally strong kingdom.

This bleeds into Sam's personality as while he does prefer to be alone, he is very defensive over his family and is good with kids.

I like to think masks are just a part of their daily wear. Probably something to do with seeing the face as sacred and something to not be shown willy nilly. Plus it obscures your expressions so you don't give much away about yourself. In fact, in my most recent update on Sam's human form, he has a scarf that he often covers the bottom of his face with. The culture shock of always showing your face was a lot for him.

This ends up affecting Sam by making him not good at disguising his emotions. He never had to, his mask did it for him. He's very expressive.

Sam is the only royal brother that has no influence from the Eastern Kingdom as he refuses to take up their culture or symbol. He has a lot of pride in his origins. Sure, if he's king, he'll be king of the Eastern Kingdom but he'd run it as if it was the fallen Belladium Kingdom. And he does just that in the King Ending.

Reproduction

There are two main ways for a vicilite to reproduce. Asexually, in which the egg sacks grow from Vicelium and develope for three weeks before breaking off to the main growth. Or sexually there gametes meet. The origin for each Vicilite may be different, however the process after being detached from either the vicelium or dam is the same.

Egg Sack

An impregnated Vicilite can gestate up to ten egg sacks at a time, however this number varies gestation period to gestation period. The egg sacks take about three weeks to develop upon which point they will be expelled from the mother’s body and placed in various nesting sights. Vicilites start their lives sharing an amniotic sack with up to twenty other siblings, however by the end of this six month development period only two or three will emerge as the others cannibalize each other once the initial yolk runs out.

Larvae

Adults have a designated room where they store the eggs that are to hatch. Within this room scrap metal and organic material such as plant matter and carcasses are placed around this area. After the larva emerge firm their egg sacks they begin to consume what is around them under the watchful eyes of the guardians (individuals with the role of watching over the nest sights and protecting them from intruders). For almost three months the larva will eat what is available around them and grow from the size of a grape to over two feet long. When they are sufficiently fattened up, they begin to pupate.

Pupa

Vicilites remain in their pupa stage for six months metamorphosizing into a vicilite nymph. During this time they are moved from the nest and placed into a hatchery. This is to prevent any new larva from consuming their brethren. Pupa all begin white but gradually begin to show the colors they will become later in life as the day for them to emerge approaches.

The Tumultuous Path to Adulthood

The entire process from hatchling to adult takes about twenty years to complete itself. It may seem like a long time, but in the grand scheme of a vicilite life span 20 years is an insignificant number.

Emergence

The act of breaking out of their cocoon is a very violent, tiring, and stressful process. The vicilite first begins to thrash and kick, using as much strength it can muster to break the confines of the cocoon. When there is a sufficient opening the hatchling must work its way out of the tight fit. This is a dangerous chapter in the vicilites life as failure to emerge from their pupa can lead to them drowning in the remaining fluids. Once emerged the hatching lays on the ground to rest and it collected by caretakers.

Infant/Hatchling (emergence — 1 year)

The first year of the emerged vicilite’s life is spend being cared for by parents and members of the colony. Infants are about the same size as adults however they are not covered in protective armor instead the soft layer of skin is all they have against the elements. For this reason infants are more susceptible to temperature changes and physical attacks. Infants are also weaker than adults needing to build up muscle mass as the grow. In these first few months of the infants life they are carried by parents and brought food that has been gathered.

Fry (1 — 4)

By this point on the vicilite’s life they have started to develop the first layers of armor. This does keep them more protected than when the were infants, the armor is still soft leaving the fry open to attacks. However the presence of this armor does allow for better temperature regulation. At this point in the vicilite’s life cycle they are starting to explore their surroundings and gain better muscle control. Later in fryhood they begin to learn how to speak.

Celiette (5 — 9)

The physical differences between fry and celiette are minimal however the developmental characteristics are vast. Celiettes have better muscle control and have gained the ability to form sentences. At this point the vicilite is beginning to learn social cues and is starting to develop friendships with others their age.

Wireling (9 — 13)

Wirelings are beginning to learn how to contribute to the group learning roles they can play to keep the colony functioning. By this point the vicilite has entered the second stage of armor and are covered in a harder casing however there is still a final stage that must be complete. At this point there are still gaps that need to fuse together or grow in which has not occurred yet. At this point the wirelings are learning how to hunt and identify edible plants. This is also the time reproductive systems begin to activate and the youths begin to explore sexuality.

Nymph (13 — 18)

The nymph has begun to transition into the third and final stage of armor development. Once they reach 16 or 17 the armor will be difficult to damage due. However there are still parts that need fusing. Also around this point, nymphs will begin participating in adult activities such as hunting and gathering as well as guarding the hive.

Vicilette (18 — 20)

Wendidad still has his classic shirts, no, we don’t know how he gets them, and the world may never know

The image of Wendigoon staring in at Aidan during the Weird Bible livestream still occurs, but he’s farther back and, still holding the gun, looks to be rapidly approaching

He somehow has a giant deer skull he wears around, and like the shirts, we don’t know and don’t need to know how he obtained it - but was probably a giant cryptid

When they meet for the Missing 411 video, Isiah (not good with spelling names btw) is just in the background of some of the shots, standing menacingly

He still has a dependency on Dr.Enuff

More people after the Denis Martin video go up believe that either the Lore Lodge, Wendigoon, or both are government sysops (can’t spell well)

Aidan tries to find out why Isiah is giant, but doesn’t find out, because no one knows why; could be because he’s been unknowingly sent from Agartha to gain intel, or just because he is Wendigoon

Aidan finds out that the cryptids in the forests around at least Appalachia are real, the feds know they exist; and it’s thanks to Wendigoon having an actual cluster of Wendigos in an abandoned building he found one day

The Aidans also see that Wendigoon has caught a mothman, multiple ghouls, and the Jersey Devil, and keeps them “because he thinks they’re neat”

While the Aidans we at first freaked out by Isiah, Archibald was not, as he is too thoughtless to even truly realize that something isn’t right or that he’s different (we love thoughtless doggo, the real Lore Lodge owner)

Wendigoon indeed does still have a magic spoon addiction, but it’s worse (he may or may not have a giant pile of magic spoon boxes in an abandoned silo for him to raid whenever he pleases

Isiah almost broke the jeep when he first met the Aidans, by almost kicking it down a hill - it was not damaged

Emmet was convinced that time travel was the only way to save himself from all the torment he was put through. He had heard of other non-unicorns performing magical feats, and so he threw himself into the study of magic. He was obsessed. He would succeed where powerful unicorns had failed and change history.

And he did succeed.

For the most part.

The blast of magic he experienced while time traveling was more than his body could handle.

He landed in the past, as he had intended... But not entirely unharmed. Pieces of himself were missing.

Whether he was aware or not... something had been set in motion.
