Inner Child
Alef / Resh
⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯
I literally cannot stop speculating about who Resh was, and who he could've been. It's almost inevitable that given so much power, and considering how he was worshipped by the people around him due to his power . . that this might've eventually gotten to his head, to the point where, there was both a superiority, (or even a god) complex, and the intense apprehension of disappointing the people who believed in him and held him to extremely high standards . . . the corruption certainly didn't happen overnight and was a progression towards the point where it has gotten . .
((SPOILER BELOW))
I've been thinking so deep about the golden child we see in the Void . . in such a way that Alef has lost himself further and further until he became unrecognizable, but at the end of it, he's still there, but of course has to pay the price of what he's caused. AURGHHHHH 💔

I don't even know how to justify the obsession anymore

Corrupted King, Resh
I have quite a few headcanons when it comes to Alef / Resh, and I will mention them below ( PS: could contain spoilers, so please be aware of that )
like I mentioned in a previous post, I differentiate Alef and Resh as before corruption, and after corruption. So Alef is the uncorrupted Prince which later on becomes King. The corruption is gradual however, and doesn't settle immediately, hence the "semi- corrupted", where I see him as losing his former personality to be replaced by increasing coldness, and ruthlessness. That being said, Alef and Resh become like two different people. the way I see it, is that Alef becomes a very small part of light, lost in the darkness. metaphorically very similar to the lone golden child in the void, before we get reborn. the way I envisioned it is, the darkness seeped into the very core of his surroundings, to such an extent it may as well have been an extension of himself. in that sense, Resh "fused" with the darkness around him, and the mountain of Eden, is /alive/ and actively trying to destroy sky kids, even though Resh is not visible himself. when the Elders set on sealing the King away, because he is too powerful, he might have been as big as a mountain tbh, and the sheer power that was being let out on that day likely shattered the diamond. perhaps, Resh's intention was to overthrow Megabird and become the sole source of Light, hence directing the diamond towards the heavenly Light, but of course.. it turned out for the worst
in a way, perhaps Alef is watching himself becoming unrecognizable, but is unable to do anything at all against the all-consuming darkness, which is himself?
Shattering.
Alef / Resh has been living rent free in my head for a while and I just can't stop thinking about how everything led up to the shattering . . How Alef's person gradually slipped away until he was unrecognizable, and replaced by a corrupted version of himself, unreachable since he was trapped within his own darkness. Starting off with good intentions, only to be lifted so high he believed himself to be a god; aiming for eternal light only to be plunged in eternal darkness. A never-ending storm of rage and all-consuming darkness.
Awakening 🕯️ (7)
Meeting Moon seemed to be an exhilarating experience for Kid, as someone who had never met another so shiny before. And Kid's perspective remains quite limited. Someone else sees the Moon's arrival as some sort of sentence, a reaction born from years long guilt and remorse. But Mekh seems to know things that others don't. Moon's arrival has made her cross paths with the child she apparently had already seen a long time ago, before the events of the Shattering. How could it be that it was the same child who has reappeared so long after? Why could he have been hidden in the first place? What Mekh believes for sure, is that Teth has a lot of secrets, many upon which rests the Fate of the world.
Does Mekh's perspective paint the events as they were? and . . who really is Kid?
GOD VS GOD-COMPLEX
"For I am the One,
The True Source of Light;
Greater than a mere star,
and the most Honored.
Brighter than the Sun,
if not the Sun Himself,
I am to become."
another impromptu verses to accompany the drawing ⎯⎯⎯ while it might have started with good intentions, I believe that Resh's ultimate goal was likely to overthrow Megabird and take her place as the source of Light, as he judged that her light was weakening. he comes to believe that he is the only one from who emanates the Light, and who gives life to the Kingdom. Basically that nothing could live or prosper without his existence.
Can you tell I have an obsession? Eh? Okay
i really like to believe that Alef / Resh aren't really the same person, even if technically, they are. but Resh is more of the humanoid form of the darkness that has taken over Alef's body, if that makes sense? i imagine there was probably a period during which Alef had a sort of internal battle ( that he obviously lost ) , against the growing darkness inside of him. much like darkness absorbs light, perhaps light was absorbed from Alef, and Darkness has replaced it, in a similar fashion that when Light was drained out of light creatures, they became dark creatures? an empty shell of what they used to be? something of the sort... eitherway, I am fascinated by this concept ( as you can see )
once again amazing voice work by @doofguyva on tiktok !!
AWAKENING — Mother, Son ( Sun ) and The King
Now that many truths have been revealed in the Awakening series, I can post them together ( not in the same picture because I refuse to — plus they don't belong in the same picture 😔 )

Here Comes The Sun
The new previews of the Two Embers got me thinking...
Mini Prediction for Sky: The Two Embers!
We know Winged Lights have been referred to as "imprints of the Children of Light", implying its where skykids like us have traveled before. However, some theorists believe they also represent the Prince/King's light since we meet one in the void of Eden too.
So wouldn't it be cool if, throughout the animated series, we saw the Prince / the Dawn Ember visit places where Winged Lights are? Not all of them, of course, but just a few as a nice nod to this idea about the game c:

Me searching tumblr to see if anyone has made a Sky OC that is related to Resh
I’m generally curious if anyone has made a Sky OC that related to Resh/Alef because that would mean that they are related to Dawn (in some weird multi dimensional way) so if you have one do share I would love to see them
also the Megabird as well because the Megabird is technically Dawn’s parent
