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.)

Haiii! Do you have any headcanons as to why Hatchling is just named...Hatchling? While others their age or younger seem to have names?

My personal headcanon is that Hatchlings get to Pick out their name once they get old enough to talk, to make them independent and feel like they have Control over who they are! The reason Hatchling is called Hatchling still is bc they haven't quite found the name for them yet

And by extension of my first question, why is Hatchling named Hatchling to you and what would their name be? :3

Sorry for yapping...normal about Hatchling💥💥💥

hi omg a flower in december! <3

in my mind the hatchling's name is pretty straightforward: hatchy, short for hatchite! as to why they keep getting nicknamed hatchling so heavily to this day...

there are so many things i wanna write next year, like exploring the experiences that made gabbro who they are, expanding upon hornfels's good and bad decisions (and their relationship too, unrelated lmao (unless...?)), diving more into the time buddies's connection and so many more things about the granites, the founders, the elder hearthians, basalt, the nomai and so on. and of course, the hearthian solar system au i'd love to talk more about! basically i'm overwhelmed with ideas with limited free time, so we'll just have to see which ones make it.

thank you for your ongoing support as i slowly fall in love with writing and making comics through outer wilds. i'm grateful it's guided me towards a safe space for me to go batshit crazy about my favorite tropes and freely make the content i wanna see - casually reminding me why i enjoy creating art and telling stories in the first place, and giving me hope for bigger projects.

onto a new year!! the bluerbos live on with us because we said so yay

HAHA aww that's so cool, the basalt hat guy!! it's actually a fishing hat! and spinel's younger-days-hat before they switched to their current one, that's why it's a little too big on bas :') <3

What thing....WHAT THING???????? (said with fear and worry)/silly

I just wanna say I'm IN LOVE with your Gabbro!! I love them so much they're so lovely, so beautiful, just AAAHSVJSBSLSNLS I wanna hug them 😭

And Esker!! Esker too! They're so cool

All of them so precious

I love your art style, and I wanna say thank you, your arts and your headcanons really inspired me like every day

Thank you, really 🥺❤

ooh hi thank you so much!! i'm glad you enjoy these two, esker has such a pretty design in the game, and they're arguably one of the most loveable characters. i really like them and yet like many others actually (gneiss, spinel, galena, hal, slate, certain spoilery characters), i haven't gotten the time to draw or write about them very much so far. space cadet trio's fault. the granites as friends are my little comforts right now.

i sought out gabbro a lot during my playthrough because it was reassuring to remember i wasn't alone, but their evasive tendencies aren't lost on me. i like how free-spirited they are in their own way and i wanna try to give a bit of depth to that character trait and the consequences it can have on other people - while keeping the core of it present. other than that i like to think they're pretty sweet. maybe not the most reliable when things get tough though. but still caring! in their very unique way. "gabbro is gabbro" says enough about how much of an endearing weirdo they are to everybody else lol

have some time buddies sillies! optimistic nihilism is a marshmallow flavor now
