This year will apparently "start at 500x500", which iirc is half the dimensions of last time. If I dare read into things a bit, I'd say it's probably expanding over time

How big will the canvas be this year? There was a fair bit of whitespace last year, but even with minimal notice limited only to Lemmy, it was almost the perfect amount for everything to fit without overlapping

Hunter was a bad but sad boy. Ayzee is a sad then bad girl.

Here's last year's result btw for those that missed it.

The part at 12:10 about how Goose named the characters was surprising. Pomni's name being Russian for "remember" seemed too perfect to me, especially after finally getting around to watching Murder Drones and meeting Doll. I figured there was someone at Glitch who had at least some influence on writing and liked Russian, and they just opted for a more subtle hint this time. But nope, total coincidence! That's what I get for feeling smart i guess lol 🙃

Hooty, you never cease to ~~amaze~~ horrify me

There's apparently a lot of bigender flags, but the original version per that site does match the ice cream

Well there's certainly much more reasonable than the story we're supposed to believe lol

There's no strong evidence either way, but I think it's pretty reasonable to assume the Titans were already out by the time Belos came around. If he recognized King, I'm sure he would've mentioned it. That makes at least around 400 years since the Titans were lost (to Trappers or Archivists or w/e).

If we assume the Trappers are witches and witches have approximately human life spans, then the current Trappers are a good few generations removed from any major Titans. And, if their ancestors did kill the Titans, they're down to a mere fraction of that power.

There might've been a few young stragglers, but not much older than King in the show. Old enough to WEH and take out Bill's hearing, but not enough to escape a small crowd of hunters

Maybe with very careful planning, the Trappers could get the advantage over a Titan at King's age in this comic. But anything older? It should be a clean sweep by the Titan. You'd need Archivist-level powers to stand a chance against an adult (/island-sized) Titan

Maybe if the Trappers back then were much more numerous and more powerful, together they could get close to that. But what we see present day? Not even close

A few cursory searches failed to bring up anything really relevant to that "evolved from the isles" thing so apparently I hallucinated that ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I did find a reminder that the Titan Trapper Island is actually surrounded by a lot of Titan skeletons though (https://theowlhouse.fandom.com/wiki/Titan_Trapper_Island)

The original implication I'm sure is that they were all killed by the Trappers, but I suppose it's not too unreasonable to play that (at least some of them) were past lands that decayed. And that would actually go with the Titan fully dying to begin to decay (but then they had to leave their own Titan alive for that? The irony lmao)

The API updated with Lemmy 0.19.4. The old way has been marked for deletion and they've now followed through on that, but a few apps (presumably including Sync) haven't updated to the new way yet

The line between canon and fanon blurred for me a long time ago, but I'm pretty sure the line that witches and demons "evolved from the isles" is on the canon side of things. Then again, with Belos's history books, who can really be sure?

My question is, if the Titans intentionally laid down to create new land, shouldn't that mean the old land (or at least uninhabitable remnants) shouldn't be that far away, right? Unless the sea can decompose bones or the erosion factor is turned up to 11, there should be remnants of past Titans and their civilizations relatively nearby. (Could that island where King was found be part of that?)

But really, I'm just here for Ayzee's Hootringles

One year down, many more to go!
