any headcanons about the tarantula crew? 😁

I have a few from the top of my head!!

- Lillian is a reader and the ship has its own little library. When Thade joined he was ecstatic about this

-Lillian also loves insects, and especially spiders (which is why she let Talapio join, also why she called it “the Tarantula Crew”). Through Lillian rambling about them, Thade also became a bug enjoyer (an interest that followed him when he became The Skin-Taker)

-Because she enjoys resting in corners and on the ceiling, quite often Talapio would accidentally scare the other crew members. Sometimes she had to use light magic to make her presence known

-At one point, the crew placed a ladder on the back of the ship leading up to the deck for Conea to climb whenever he wanted,, forgetting he had no legs to climb it. They removed it eventually due to the risk of unwanted visitors boarding the ship

-Boar is actually Lillian’s uncle and the pearl necklace (I usually draw her with) was a gift from him from before they both became pirates. (It’s also one of the only pieces of jewelry she owns that didn’t come from being stolen,, bcuz yk,,, pirates)

-(Despite the wiki saying his fate was unknown), Conea died during Red Mary’s attack because he stuck around the ship in an attempt to save whoever he could, and was unable to swim away in time to get to safety (RIP king 😔). Being Abyssian, Thade couldn’t have died during the attack, but with the help of Conea he managed to escape much less injured.

-Before Talapio left the crew, they relied on her to provide light for the ship at night using her magic, which left the ship feeling much darker when she left. This was unfortunate for Percy as he was afraid of the dark.

Random question:

Which crew do y'all wanna be in :3 for me I sorta thought i should join the Kings Dice crew, they sorta don't get into a lot of drama and they barely got any trauma or any actual grudge against others 🥲 (except hendric literally got a burn scar from Red Mary) but other than that I don't think they got any other problems or any horrid stuff happen, they mostly just wanna relax ig , they take no sides

#def the kings dice crew for the same reasons loll #it seems pretty chill #+I have an OC in the kings dice crew!! I needa draw her again sometime

Like 6 years ago I was obsessed with candle cove. Looked back at some of my old drawing and God damn does everyone need redesigned lol. I started with Thade! Cause he used to be my favorite to draw.

Keypoints I'd like to point out:

Little bird skull necklace that was a gift from Percy.

All Abyssians (and magic welders) have pupils shaped like symbols for their magic element. Death magic users have coffin shaped pupils.

Hello again!

I just wanted to stop on by and ask some questions on your lovely and creative world building!!

My main thought was how you stated that skin taker is dead, yet in some way still alive? Is it an abysmal thing? Like you can’t fully kill one until they are due to die?

Also I love hearing your headcannons! And would love to hear more of your ideas on abysmals and maybe even how the puppets function, say like if something cut there string?

Keep up the work mate, it’s incredible!

First of all, AWAWAWAWWAWAA thank you!!! I'm glad you like my silly puppet thoughts.

Second of all *points to Skin-taker* I have no clue what the hell that thing is!

I do definitely think he's dead and thats that. I feel the whole "abyssians can't actually die" deal may over complicate thing a bit, he's just undead yknow? Maybe because of necromancy shit but I like things better if it was vague and he was just... *gestures vaguley* like that.

You can kill an abyssian I think but it's really hard, and you'd have more luck banishing them back to the abyss (the realm the abyssal kingdom is found). I've had the idea that if an abyssian is banished from candle cove back to the abyss in their place will be a corked bottle with a spell that can summon them back, and holding onto it is like a curse cuz if you do you'll have the inexplicable urge to open it but also if you just abandon it you're leaving it for who knows to open and unleash.

I've considered that maybe on top of skinning him Poppy managed to banish whatever was left of Skin-taker and after the fight he was just NOT okay in any physical mental or emotional way, so he just threw the bottle out into the ocean and later on Horace was the one to find it. I kinda like and dislike this cuz it gives more distinction between necromancy and summoning as different types of magic, but also I feel candle cove should be kind of.....idk empty? Vague? I feel really detailed and complex world building and lore could disrupt the creepy, liminal, twisted childrens tale vibe it's got going on. But yknow it's still fun to think about.

I don't have any in depth thoughts on how the puppets function and their anatomy or anything, I just really really like the idea of throughout the series them being....surprisingly organic in a lot of ways and it's just never explained and you're left there just wondering "Why can they hear a heartbeat while in the bowels of the ship?" "Why is the sound of crunching bones coming from that plush doll?" "Why can they bleed?" Idk I just like leaving some things up for the imagination.

As for their strings I actually do have a headcannon about them! Only the characters on the show who become aware of the audience somehow can see their strings, but don't necessarily have the power to cut them. Skin-taker can see his and, at least appears not to or is too far gone to mind. He fidgets with them a lot actually, like a kid messing with their shoelace.

Red Mary and Gorger (ManBearPig) are the only characters who can see and also interact with everyone elses strings. Gorger, because as Grimmes sort of insert of himself, is the most aware of the nature of candle cove as a TV show and actually plays a role in keeping things in line, keeping the story going how it's supposed to. I assume if someones strings get cut it's like cutting an unnessecary character from a story. Any trace of them is wiped from the world and just their husk is left. There's a lot of limp, lifeless puppet and doll bodies scattered throughout Gorgers cave. *points to Mary* She's just a terrifying fucking freak. She's burnt her strings she says, and remains despite it.
