I learned that art thrift stores exist and went to my local one today
You can learn if there's one around you by searching up
Creative reuse center near me
Rest in peace, River Boy. We’ll listen to you, still.
Edit, and for context:
I haven't seen any other fan theories like this, but if anyone else thought of this first, please let me know.
Anyways, alchemy obviously plays a big part in the magic system of the protocol universe. And I've seen several people bring up that Celia mentioned the three primes of alchemy. Based on my very non-expert google knowledge, the three primes are salt, mercury, and sulfur. Salt represents the body, mercury represents the mind, and sulfur represents the soul.
In other words, physical horror, psychological horror, and existential horror. There are three fear entities in this universe; Salt, which is fear relating to the body/physical harm, Mercury, which is mental/emotional fears, & Sulfur, which is existential fears. This lines up pretty well with what Colin said:
This time, the way to keep the entities from entering our world is to keep them balanced. And based on what we've seen, the way to keep the balance is probably by sacrificing people to them.
This next part is a bit of a stretch & I don't expect it to be right. Something interesting I noticed, all the Externals we've met so far seem to be Salt-coded. Maybe the OIAR is only in charge of the salt part of the balance? What if the Hilltop Center and the Magnus Institute were in charge of the other two elements? Colin didn't mention what happens when there's too much salt, but we might see that for ourselves soon.
Whilst I'm definitely going to make both of them. It'll be more of a one at a time deal.
Anyways...

The finished prototypes for the ears, crown as well as the Goat & Lamb's horns...
Also, here's what the shape of the faces should look like.
Goat: Lamb:
Just have to organise a few of the templates and I can get started on the real thing....
... I also went ahead with the tail
Whelp looks like our three-eyed husband won the poll!
The main inspiration for this plush is coming from artwork done by @beautysnake ...
...an incredible artist, go check out their stuff
So now that the goat project is coming to an end, I can either get started on the lamb or narinder since they're about even in terms of current development....
Aaand, since it totally didn't work like at all last time, why not have another poll.
Istg if it turns out a draw AGAIN, I'll make another book-themed knucklebones board just to roll the dice with (pls don't, I can't keep doing this to myself)
