Probably going ahead of myself because you're going through items slowly but I'm curious about your thoughts on memory lockets? If this is something you intent to talk about in the future in detail, feel free to disregard the ask then lol I'll wait
oh goddamit tumblr just decided to erase all that i just wrote
Anyways, time to write it again
I didnt have anything planned for memory lockets so may as well answer
They're clearly meant to be those classic "loved one in a photo" lockets, but of course those can contain any kind of important memory, good or bad, even written instead of drawn
Beyond the general "Hornet absorbs the memory within to better understand a crest", im not sure how they work; maybe the freedom of choice is merely gameplay and in universe Hornet just "coincidentally" finds the "right" locket for every notch, like how you always find the next mask shard instead of two left eyes one after the other
i do find curious how they kind of resemble an eyeless weaver mask, although they also somewhat resemble the icon for blue tools; they also look like they could fit into a charm notch (which is what the sprite is called internally lol, since that's basically what they are)
I also like how they're wrapped like a pilgrim or an effigy
Actually, found something interesting, the sprite for weaver effigies is called "saint locket"
Thanks for the ask
