Artist is anon. Title is "The Moon's Favorite Son"
and that sure made me feel a thing 🥺
ooo so anime title opening
I like to think the reason the Moon and Vyng gel as well as they do is because of their shared grief over a loved one. Since he's learned to carry his own grief, he's able to carry hers as well

slanndalous: DID I EVER TELL YOU...that in the Spout Lore anime adaptation in my head, the ED is Toploader's "Dancing in the Moonlight" solely because that song is peak 2000s for me?
I dont htink you ever told me!
They fucking played it as the ending for one of their side-game episodes. It was so WEIRD, I thought I was having a fever dream for a second lmao
because I'd been imagining this for, like, literal years
it did not feel real
so weird!!!
but also peak 2000s energy, so it makes sense
1.
Ruby. these two are so good
2.
Maul. ooh mr. darth ooh
4.
Jinx. He has extra appreciation for chaotic sibling energy in Trench, especially now that he's kinda missing his own sister
I know it'll never happen, but I would love it if somebody apped Shia
Even with as little screentime as we got, I actually think she's developed enough that you could give her a solid arc in a community-based game like Deer — if anybody wanted a template for a thrill-seeking Druid-Rogue with a giant arctic wolf and some serious childhood trauma
(also, she likes grilled-cheese sandwiches and can turn into a cobra, how rad is that)
Shia was so good
I loved the juxtaposition of her and Vyng's TOTAL!! EXCITEMENT!! at finding each other.....with them gradually realizing that getting to know estranged family is super weird and hard, actually

and being like "you know what, maybe we rushed into this"
God, yeah. I had so many feels about them.
SAME
They really know how to come straight for our hearts

THEY DO, those monsters
I swear, the number of times I've yelled out loud, "I thought this was a comedy!"
Looking at you, season 2 finale
lol someone on Discord was like "I'd love to see Shawn run a horror game", and I was like "you mean Spout Lore isn't??"
one reason Vyng and Tuck ended up in
at all was because Claire and I looked at some of the events and were like "so this is like a Tuesday for them"
very easy for a family like them to have SOL moments during a total shitshow, because they come from a crapsack world already
6.
Billie. one one hand, your appendix won't get inflamed from a virus or bacteria in this world. on the other hand..... /gestures at the dumpster fire that is Trench
7.
Vi. he's actually pretty annoyed at having to do a fetch-quest for something that's technically his. but he also knows what weird witchy ladies are capable of lol

8.
Vi. he can admit he misses shapeshifting, which was something he couldn't really do in February. Development!!
Something else he realized: He doesn't just miss turning into animals, he misses the option of being perceived as one too
(Hence why he's so happy when Billie uses his illusion magic to make him look like a horse in season 8. It does absolutely nothing for him physically or spiritually, but he's still like "I MISSED THIS" lmao)
MAN I am so close to finishing this catch-all -- Just need to finish prompts for Oscar, Vash and Manabu
But I need to get ready for bed
apologies in advance for when it does go up
Back is slowly healing. Got a doctor's appointment for tomorrow. but it's made sitting in front of the computer a miserable experience, woof
1.
Michael. not the weirdest idea he's heard, tbh
2.
Oscar. shortcake is a treasure
3.
Shiro. adam puts up with so much, tho
4.
Maul. the blushing, i can't
5.
Anakin. he can understand why this would be upsetting

Lance. always keep plenty of ginger on hand for tummy aches!!
7.
Luz. just vibing over shenana-banana-gans and chatting over pissed-off primeval entities
8.
Manabu. the wording for all of this is v. unfortunate
10.
Ruby. i love that he's just gonna have this chicken feather now
11.
Vi. ngl, I as a player also miss his shapeshifting sometimes, but what can ya' do
at least he can still do elements, kinda
1.
Paimon. would constantly changing one's username cause confusion? probably. does vyng care? not really
2.
Maul. crystal talk?? crystal talk!!
3.
Shiro. the audacity of this man
4.
Billie. the stakes have never been higher

5.
Luz. They have Pthumerian-type entities where he's from. He doesn't take it personally when they're dicks -- sometimes it just be like that
6.
Michael. a person who doesn't exist is technically useless, right
7.
Manabu. there is no way anybody wins here
wow, it's amazing how my clearer my mind is when I'm not in pain 24/7

hahah just kidding, I pulled my lumbar muscle again and then took another week to recover
doctor gave me enough meds to get through it, so I'm feeling better now, at least?
just disheartened that I still can't do regular things without risking another flare-up
yeah that's rough I'm so sorry.

THANKS. I know I've been lagging, so I appreciate people's patience ;;
1.
Obi-Wan. tl;dr he misses being the disney animal sidekick in somebody else's movie. it's a good assist, both physically and emotionally
also the way people perceive you when you're a critter just!! hits different, man!!
he wouldn't have admitted to this a year ago, not even to himself. it's kind of a tough pill to swallow.......
growth, tho! we love to see it
I actually overlooked the perception aspect during my first listen-through. It's more apparent in hindsight. 'Cause there's a part of Vyng that bristles at conformity, at being told how he should be, or the idea of needing approval from others. But at the same time, like
he's got a lot of baggage, and he realizes in Season 9 he does certain things b/c it gives him a false sense of control over how others see him, actually
but it runs so deep, that he isn't always cognizant of it
I. Maul draft
II. Michael draft
2.
Billie. disrespect of property runs in this family
3.
Ruby. she has the best chickens
4.
Oscar. "how come you're jumpy?" he asks, as if Oscar isn't p. much a walking eldritch horror

5.
Fakir. very gallant!
VI. Shiro draft x 2
6.
Michael. he's secretly 12 and loves gross stuff
how is it already almost december HOW lol
1.
Duck. he would like a compliment, pls
2.
Obi-Wan. that feel when you're proud of a tag because it is both introspective and grounded in the scene
also, it's rare for Vyng to consider how weird his mom was, and tie it back to how he deals with his emotions in the present
wizards in Spout Lore are just wired different from everyone else, neurologically, emotionally, all of it. I haven't directly said this in RP, but my headcanon/theory is that his mother actually had very little frame of reference for raising a child, because she herself sprang into existence as a fully-formed adult
ѕтσям¢αℓℓєя
2022-11-30T06:08:31.000Z 2022-11-30T06:10:09.000Z
she did her best and loved him fiercely, and Vyng doesn't doubt either of those things. but there are deffo times in canon where he looks back and is like "what the actual fuck, mom" LMAO
I actually really love that about their relationship. It would've been very easy to turn Illiana into some beautiful saint or martyr who's remembered as this perfect mother in death, but Vyng doesn't idealize or demonize her
9.
Maul. literally communicating in Cat rn
*10.
Vash. "ok, but is your WIS stat high enough to be taking the physical manifestation of people's emotional trauma and intense feelings into your body, tho??"
1-2.
Vash. Vyng's done a bit of research into beasthood. He doesn't really see corruption as a thing to be fixed or cured, but more like a state to be managed. No idea how common this viewpoint is, but it's deffo influenced by Druidism and shapeshifting
3.
Vi. lmao he just assumes everyone in this town is a fucking weirdo, and he kinda loves it
4.
Jinx. sibling feels ;;
5.
Vi. this makes no goddamn sense pfft

6.
Shiro. he has it on good authority that adam loves to hate dad jokes
8.
Vash. I feel like this encapsulates a lot of Vyng's personal philosophy. personal growth, autonomy and learning to move past trauma, babyyyyy
