Okay gang, it's time. I wrote this in one go, so there will probably be mistakes lmao

Happy spooky month Sky Community :D

And without further ado, here is my Sky creepypasta!

Moths

They're what many of the people of this game call new folk.

Others call them Sparrows.

Either way, they are admired by all. For such a beautiful game, with such impact, when someone new joins everyone hopes they will reach the end.

Most do.

And many do not return.

But, tragically that is not what this story is about, not quite, at least.

This tale is of a much smaller scale. Something that happened to me almost a year ago.

~~~

Back then I had finally become a pro. Established a main outfit, made some OCs, and had a handful of friends I saw online regularly. Not very many, I've never been a social person.

On this particular day, I was candle running my normal route. Hitting both Prarie and forest, along with Geyser and Grandma.

However, on my way to Grandma's, I noticed the server was completely empty. Not a single sign of there being another person.

Just me.

Alone.

That was, until I saw the familiar sight of a broken star at the edge of my screen. The tell tale sign of someone losing all their light.

Not an uncommon sight in forest.

Naturally, as most people would do, I flew toward where the player was.

I hardly noticed when the music cut out.

But, I rarely had the music on anymore anyway, what, with how often I'll spontaneously start playing music.

As I suspected, I found an unlit skykid in the river.

They were just standing there.

I didn't think much of it, perhaps they had to go afk for a moment and forgot to move somewhere safer.

I placed my torch down, and decided to stick around to grab any wing light they might lose.

I stood there for quite some time, but not a single light was lost.

The skykid was still not moving.

But I noticed they weren't afk either. None of the indications of such were present.

Out of curiosity, I held my candle out to them.

Immediately they lit me, and I saw they were a moth.

Maybe they were confused?

I tried pointing them to the nearest light,

But

They just. Kept. Standing. There.

Eventually, I decided this wasn't worth my time. Grandma was starting soon, and they were probably just a veteran trying to troll someone.

I flew away, intending to go straight to Grandma's.

But I was back beside the moth.

...okay?

Perhaps I just lagged. My game doesn't always run very smoothly.

I tried again.

But...

I was right back in the same spot.

Maybe I was going too fast?

I tried walking away, but, while my skykid woud have the walking animation, they wouldn't move anywhere. I just kept rubberbanding back to the same spot.

The moth

Took a step toward me.

Then another

And another.

Until they were basically standing on top of me.

I tried moving my camera to get a better look at them.

Something was wrong.

Their cape had no stars. And I realized they were taller than me.

Their body stretched unnaturally upwards, neck and limbs becoming slightly too long.

The lights that should have been behind their mask were dark. The light on their chest wasn't there.

They- it crouched down and produced a deep call.

That sound...

Stars that sound.

It hurt. It hurt so bad.

My ears were ringing.

It hurt like hell.

Ithurtit h urt

Like it was clawing my eardrums out.

Like millions of skykids screaming together distorted through a broken speaker.

My ears were ringing. I had to take my headphones out.

I hadn't noticed that my light had run out. My poor skykid was unlit.

I could hardly see them through the black streaks the rain was leaving on my screen.

There was something looming above them.

I didn't know what it was going to do. I didn't care.

I closed the game.

~~~

It took me weeks to start playing again.

I was so afraid that I wouldn't even be able to.

But I had to give it a shot at least once.

Miraculously, it worked! I was back in the game.

Something was amiss.

My skykid looked different.

Instead of my usual outfit, they were in moth attire with a few exceptions.

The red earmuffs, the monk blindfold, and the feast scarf were also on it.

I was back to the default hight, and I only had one star.

One of my friends tped to me and said hi,

But I couldn't interact with the hug they offered.

I could move, but I couldn't use any of my emotes.

My chat wasn't working.

And...

I saw it.

The moth.

I didn't think.

Just closed the game.

~~~

Of course, I could never leave Sky forever.

The next time I logged on, everything was fine again.

I found that friend online and apologized. Told them I had been hacked.

Maybe I had. I still don't know.

Sometimes I'll still see it.

It'll creep up on me, do it's terrible call.

And every time, I stop playing for the day.

Usually the day after I will have that outfit, but relogging seems to fix it. Sometimes it takes a few tries.

I haven't heard of anything like this before. Nobody's talked about it, at least.

Perhaps they all stop playing after it happens.

I admit sometimes I want to as well.

I've had a few close calls, and I don't want to know what happens if I stick around when I see it.

I hope

I hope it leaves me alone.

I don't want to deal with it anymore.

seabastian should learn about 'gentle parenting'

🐬🌈💦✨

how would sky moths react to angler? i have a feeling it would be like those smoke monsters in the trial of fire

while they dont have hearts that can stop beating, they do have light which can be extinguished,,,

luckily, a certain grumpy fish has what they need to get their lights back :]

After some trial and error, I finally figured out the ISAT theme in Sky:Cotl

Sky Lore! (kind of)

Me and the veteran that adopted me when I was a moth :3

(Undercut has some ingame screenshots because I think they’re neat)

I dont post much abt sky so I might do more of that, but so far (now that im not a moth anymore) its been super fun!!!! And I finally get to dress up a little more!

Also might gonna post more sky related art sometime soon since ive been playing way more often with the new season and skyfest

I have always had the HC that the skykid/moth is NB. so yesss NB cape

skykid riding a hourse

Here's my skykid :D Silly little magician. Have fun with her design

Give me SkyKids to draw!

I want to get better at drawing Skykids, and I've seen a few other people do this, so figured I'd give it a try. Just gimme a picture and I'll give you a doodle. I can't promise it'll be anything good, but it'll be something!

I'm insane abt sky lore so I did some researching based on your questions and here's what I got :D

The Elders names

The Elders (plus the king & prince) have names based off Hebrew letters from concept development that are no longer canon, though the fandom sometimes refers to them as such:

Isle – Daleth (ד)

Prairie – Ayin (ע)

Forest – Teth (ט)

Valley – Samekh (ס) (They share a name, though the fandom refers to the spiky hair twin as Sah and the bobbed hair twin as Mekh.)

Wasteland – Tsadi (צ)

Vault – Lamed (ל)

Prince – Alef (א)

King – Resh (ר)

Though it seems the devs refer to the Elders by the times of day their realms represent:

Isle – Dawn

Prairie – Day

Forest – Rain

Valley – Sunset

Wasteland – Dusk

Vault – Night

Eden – Storm

Credit to Alasdair#8513 on Discord for the info. (I copy pasted this from the Sky:cotl wiki fandom about the elder hhhh)

The Eden is corrupted?

The Eden is in fact corrupted with corrupted water, dark plants, evil crabs and krill(they're called dark dragon but we usually call them krill🦐). There's a lot of theories about why the Eden is corrupted and corrupting the realms nearby:

wasteland (heavily corrupted)

valley (barely possibly due to the cold)

forest and prairie (mild corruption)

isle (none due to being the farthest)

vault is special because the realm doesn't have any corruption despite being the closest to Eden. Possibly for being cough cough a vault.

The theories being related to the King from Eden being corrupted or the Dark Dragons taking over the sky realms. Idk we never get the true lore yet or I'm missing something ^^;

What are the Winged Light?

The winged lights are the shiny children you picked all around the realms to enhance your wing! The more winged lights you collected, the stronger your wing is and you could fly much longer and higher. Unlocking spirit's second tier (using red candles that you get everytime you finished Eden or do the corrupted rocks tasks. The candles are called Ascended Candles btw) will also give you free winged lights after you finished Eden :3

I haven't played Sky for a while so I might missed some stuff hehe. Any questions? :]

HELPP

What in the world is the basic sky lore.

Like literally I know nothing.

I heard the elders have names?!

The elder eden got corrupted?!

Man I didn't even get to Eden I started 2 days ago pls help 😭

ALSO WHAT ARE THE WINGED LIGTHS

ARGGGGGG

Get clocked ⏱

hello it’s your local tspxskyposting blog

context under the cut:

“Please enter the current time.”: when you open the Stanley parable (ultra deluxe version only), a series of text will pop up, one of them asking you to enter your current time. After you’ve entered something, it will go on to “talk” and react to your choices, basically like a character. This character has gained the name “timekeeper” because of this.

(if anyone can provide a better explanation, please tell me. I’ve tried. Sorry tk this is the best I can do *sobs*)

The clock in the second image: in sky, there’s a specific time for daily quests and the currency nodes to reset. When this time comes, a clock will appear, signaling the reset.

so, yes, clocks!

We can now rotate our skykids not just in our minds but in the game

Sky: Children of the light be like

hello it’s your local sky x tsp crossover account

behold, the wonders of inter-universe video call!

so I edited Stanley in various other sky cosmetics

To the people who do play sky, recommend me other cosmetics to put on him

Individual photos under the cut:

Some of these are two years old but oh well
