Enjoy it while it lasts
“Cartoons? Isn’t that for kids?” I look up and smile “ Yes it is” Suddenly my appearance shifts and shrinks as I become a child. All my money turns to monopoly money and all my bills are gone. My adult responsibilities vanish, finally the spell is broken, and I am free.
You know what would be really cool? If his motives for driving stonekeepers insane and stuff was not for serving a different species (looking at you, you creepy ass shadows) but something more malicious.
TW: Genocide
Lemme explain, so in my headcanon I thought the Voice caused people to go mad and become monsters to cause destruction but only to their own species or people protecting them. This is because the Voice wants a superior species living on Alledia. Other previous species have gone extinct by previous stonekeepers that lost themselves and unknowingly genocides their own people.
The Voice is like a toxic parent to Alledia, wanting the best for it but in its own twisted ways. I also headcanon humans to be rare in Alledia because of the curse that turns some into animal-like species (that Ikol still doesn't like) and also because of other human stonekeepers the Voice had turned mad. The Voice will only accept a species he thinks is best for Alledia, to preserve its planet while also having lifeforms in it.
Also, each species in Alledia isn't native to the planet at all, because the motherstone was the one that created the portals to other planets that other people went into. And after pieces of it was borrowed the motherstone grew weaker until the portals started to close. Ikol as a part of the motherstone became well, the voices to every stonekeeper and corrupted them to turn on their own kind. And when all the stones have been released from their deceased masters, the motherstone will join again and open up the portals leading to Alledia, thus restating the process of finding a superior species... until a certain group of shadows came in secret
And that's basically how I would've written Ikol, just a picky and evil spirit of the stones that manipulates and watches over the planet until it finds a species it prefers on it. Almost like a collector of toys that throws away stuff they don't want later on until it finds something they favor and decides "welp, I don't wanna play with theses anymore" *throws away rest of the Alledians.
I wished he was more interesting to the story but alas, he's was a servant to the shadows and probably isn't gonna be fought or anything. But he could've been scarier, he could've been like a villain you get anxiety from every time they're on screen. He could've been a nightmare to deal with, just not in the annoying way
Any thoughts on Ikol? He’s a bit confusing to me
*grasps your shoulder* I don't get Him either.
Controversial thoughts below:
The Voice is unnecessary as a character.
Unpopular af opinion I know. The Voice was a charismatic character and pretty much the lynchpin on why Emily came to Alledia but listen. He's a tumor on the story. There can be another alternative that could push her to go to Alledia. If he was done well then maybe yes he could've been the horror and mystery factor the story had but no. More often than not he's pretty much the default reason why characters get absolved of their actions bc "wah they were influenced by the Voice that's why he was pushed to transform into a giant" wenk wenk that's kinda boring I say. Where's the agency. He's basically just a really loud conscience/impulsive or intrusive thought turned into an entity. People already do that themselves. Like the entire premise is already terrifying enough on its own. Idk. Maybe it's bc I'm already viewing it as an already older person lens that I can't seem to incorporate the more lighthearted part of the kid's fantasy but seriously. A dark entity can make things interesting I guess but ngl people can already be horrible people on their own. No dark spirit required. It's already about war and tyranny. It's already about putting power and responsibilities and blame on already fragile shoulders. It's about adults who failed children. Wouldn't be more interesting if they focused on characters with autonomy who fucked up and then explores on how those mistakes affect everyone else.
Agh fuck I know the story is also trying to discuss abt fate and choices and whether or not a person has the freedom to make those choices and actions and it's about defiance against that helplessness, but my main complaint about the characters is that they have zero fucking agency. They don't push the plot at all. The plot just happens. It's so ironic for a series that's supposed to be a celebration of that defiance have a protagonist that is only is what she is and does things she does because she feels like she has to be and has its entire plot crumble in on itself by characters that are treated not as characters but just paper maches. What then.
Loni? Roni? Nah, your mommy
Hate Loni and Roni’s names so I have convinced myself to believe that they are both nicknames for longer, much cooler traditional Elven names. I get they are twin characters but the rhyming, similar sounding names makes them seem so juvenile and non-serious 😭
Ok everyone, let's do a little group project. Repost this post with a fangirl/fanboy/fannonbinary magnet

I love the way you drew Emily's hair it's so cute! Also yeah Trellis has been through so much, I hope there's therapy in Alledia (Then again with how crazy it is in that world there's probably none)
Standing weirdly
