Reveling!!
Darkness is safety, it's where fungus grows, it's where one can truly be themselves, it's *home*. Moss loves the sunshine that feeds their garden, but they love the darkness that cools their skin just as much.
if all we saw was bright lights,
darkness is what we'd try to find~

They're closest to Shrek & Fiona (i'm just on a quest with you -> wait, i actually *like* the 'gross' parts of you -> trope subversion by living happily ever after as their true 'monstrous' selves instead of becoming human), but that's not Disney.
If only Belle got to be a monster...

A little bit of everything, of Moss & the Emperor:
1. old art - parallel play in the woods 🦑🌿💕
2. old writing - some introspection about choice & fate
3. recent VP - posing for a portrait, perhaps?
4. recent comm - by the incredible @xliczkax.bsky.social 💜
I love my squids so much~ ; 3;

Pre-BG3 & during camp days, Moss's sleep consisted of just climbing into a tree, tying themself down, and passing out; no bath or PJs, a true woods hermit. The Emperor keeps them in line now, making sure they both get enough sleep for their work schedule. Now with comfy baths & PJs. :'3

The first thing Moss did was go to the Elfsong and paaass ooout. Getting your whole body remade takes a lot out of you, after all. The second thing they did, during their tenday of being stuck indoors recovering, was organize all the tiny treasures they collected during the adventure. <:'3

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

Moss's quote is the druid line on ceremorphosis, when Jaheira asks about the tadpole changes: "The flowing river changes. It is still a river. I am still *me*."
Caterpillar to cocoon to butterfly, sprout to bud to blossom. The monstrous scope of change does not extinguish the life within.

"You're the most pathetic ghaik I've ever seen."
Yeah, ok. Moss isn't trying to be a good illithid, they're trying to be a good *being*. There's a big difference between those things. They're oft called weak or weird or 'too nice,' and, well...
It's easier to fool an underestimating foe.

Everything. Moss finds everything with the spark of life beautiful, everything that dies & decays and feeds new life beautiful. Sprouting seeds, mushroom circles, prismatic lights, rain over the ocean, the psychic auras of individuals in love.
Ugly is a word for the hateful. >:v

Moss's choice is obvious: a kindori.
A peaceful astral whale who feeds entirely on sunlight, large enough to have their own gravitational field & air envelope, often covered in fields of symbiotic mold & moss, left alone to explore wildspace by all but the most foolish of foes.
Bliss. 🦑🌿

Moss!! is a walking (well, floating) trans allegory - after a lifetime of feeling not-at-home in both their body & mind, ceremorphosis is the transformation that allows them to discard their past self and finally bloom in a form that makes them happy. <:')

I’ve been holding my tongue on this but honestly, *all* fandom creatives deserve support and it’s been disappointing seeing certain people viewing others as rivals. Whether you do art, writing, VP, 3D renders, custom mods, poses, audios etc, you’re all supremely talented and you deserve respect. 🩷
