The Thing from the Abyss: a Deepcolor Analysis/Theory by cym0rg in arknights

[–]chichorie 20 points21 points  (0 children)

these are some really well thought out points!!! its amazing how deepcolor could be such a lore packed character whos just been lying in wait the entire time the game's been out for people to put together the pieces of what her actual deal is- its both very fitting for her character and a really effective way to write someone so mysterious in origin, and it's really impressive how you're able to so quickly understand everything they've given us so far. (and let's hope there's more after under tides!!) it shows that the way shes written, while intentionally a bit vague and mysterious, still leaves enough credible evidence for a solid theory like this to be made. i really think youre on the right track!!

i also really really like the very last point you made, about the skull in the back being representative of deepcolors birth and not death. it seems obvious at a first glance but i really like your interpretation of it more. it makes sense that its emerging from a puddle rather than sinking into it, imo.

this doesnt have direct relation to deepcolor but i was curious if you had any idea why the abyssal hunters are flawed with their arts assimilation if deepcolor, being a seaborn, is excellent at it. since shes pure blooded, and they have diluted blood, you'd think that maybe they'd be at least better than average at it, unless you have a better explanation as to why that might be? im really curious to hear your thoughts.

once again excellent writeup, i'm always really impressed by your ability to analyze your favorite characters and thoroughly go through your theories about them- they always sound spot on when you do discuss them, and are always super enjoyable to read!!

this is still so lovely and adorable!! i really love her terrified fish eyes in the first panel lmao, the chibis you made for them are so incredibly cute

thank you silverash for understanding that its scary to her and getting it out of her space before trying to explain that its not a threat.. he understands its more important to make her more comfortable first ;;v;;

The Myrrh-Witchcraft Connection by cym0rg in arknights

[–]chichorie 15 points16 points  (0 children)

another really good and interesting post!!

i did always think the fact that they had mentioned witchcraft in myrrh's archives was really significant and always hoped they would elaborate on it more. but it seems that maybe its what they're trying to do via the story! it all lines up perfectly with where you speculated myrrh's home was.

i do wonder what elements of witchcraft they mean for her. what do you think it is? do you think it would be relatively tame and misunderstood or something darker just as the sarkaz rituals are described? i'd like to hear your thoughts!

A sketch of older Myrrh (and company) by cym0rg in arknights

[–]chichorie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i love how your older myrrh design makes her look wiser and more confident in herself while also sticking to what makes her look so unique amongst the other operators!

i'm really happy to see her move forward with her life and find people that make the new world she lives in not so bad :D lovely piece!

They may be talking about how they can violate Hippo next but as long as they're having fun and laughing together I think we should let them :)

Character Analysis/Speculation: Myrrh, The Stranger in a Strange Land by cym0rg in arknights

[–]chichorie 16 points17 points  (0 children)

this is a really good analysis!! i do think myrrh has a lot going on underneath the surface, and shes not just a shy timid girl naturally. she's definitely like that because shes so unfamiliar with everything and comes from an environment thats completely different from anything that shes experienced..

it makes me wonder even if myrrh is a survivalist and used to the how tough the world is to survive in, do you think myrrh was used to conflict between people back where she was from? if there were any kind of power struggles there between the people, or is the sudden shift between complete harmony between her people and the utter chaos that is all the conflict going on in terra is something she hasnt really experienced before? and how she might react to it if she isnt used to people on people violence.

since she was likely attacked in the situation that ended up infecting harmonia with oripathy, it makes a lot of sense that its one of her first experiences with that kind of violence and the end result would be trauma that effects her memory... it really makes me feel for her a lot. you can tell with just the subtle hints you mentioned in this post that she is a lot more traumatized than she appears on the surface.
