I haven't seen ALL of your videos but I'm petty sure you have, in fact, appeared as a cute holiday elf in one of them. If you havent, there's always next year.

[@EaterOfBeholders]

Logan's Fey looks like a fusion between an Armadillo and a Hamster while also being transmogrified by what I assume to be the mutant juice that created the Turtles in TNMT. I love it!!!

[@Drunken_cat]

Have you considered featuring fan-submitted homebrew content in between your main videos? You could critique and review them, offering feedback and spotlighting the most creative ones! I think it would be realllly cool! To make it even more engaging, you could create a timelapse of yourself drawing art inspired by your favorite submission to play in the background of the review!

[@nirn_]

18:20 Would be cool if when you continue to work, some of these cute things will think that it's help wasn't enough and will try progressively harder and harder to help at your job, until it would gain skill beyond your comprehension. For example, if you a clockwork master and don't take a break/vacation, little helper will make clockwork in your designs smaller and intricate each consecutive day, hide the power sources so masterfuly, that you can barely tell how these machines work. At some point it will become impossible to tell, how solid slabs of metal are moving seamingly on their own without any springs or even magic. Luckily enough, these creatures have rather short memory span and don't accumulate any knowledge beyond helping one person, basicly reseting each time they "helped" someone.

[@mitchellpatterson3044]

i would KILL for the chance to show anything i've made to PH, let alone receive a challenge form them. i hope to see more of these collab creative challenge things!!

[@frigo922]

Careful with the acronyms mate

[@crimsoneclipse0618]

I genuinely love the theme, my idea for a creature is immediately one that co-opts an existing holiday in order to feed on the mirth and worship of the holiday, kinda like a Cuckoo for holidays. Just like how Christians took over Saturnalia into Christmas and how corporations then turned thay religious holiday into one of buying and buying, the creature would seek out holidays and festivals that it would try to resemble the iconic figure of as a disguise. Why is it doing that? It wants to become a god, and it believes the worship it gains from taking over holidays would be a path towards divinity, kinda like how Santa Claus has become the face of Christmas despite it being about Jesus at first and about Saturn during Saturnalia.

[@De_La_Evo]

"It wants to become a God" Idk why but that sentence made me laugh, like "oh casually wants to be GOD"

[@Oddmanoutre]

We took over Saturnalia? Huh, I thought we took over Mithra's birthday.

[@crimsoneclipse0618]

@@Oddmanoutre i believe it was kinda both, since they're both held on 25th and was used by Christians to co-opt their own holiday as a form of control over the pagans, but Saturnalia was in Rome whereas Mithra's birthday was celebrated more around Persia.

[@Oddmanoutre]

@@crimsoneclipse0618 Well, yes and no. Mithraism was relatively popular in Rome, too ( as was Sol Invictus. Yes I own a copy of the Encyclopedia of Heretics and Heresies. Who Doesn't?).

I've always wondered though, would it be possible to teach them in a non-harmful way? Like, they're smart enough to appreciate beauty and dexterous enough to use tools.

Watching you create the art for these creatures as they are being described was magical!

[@d4n737]

Kinda inspired me to do my own idea of this. "Christmas spirit", in a vague, general sense instantly put an image of a holiday to me, one taking place in late summer, early autumn, one with warm colors of autumn and still warm temperature of summer; a holiday focused on songs, dances in good company, warm bonfires burning in villages, people gathering to simply enjoy their own company, and being uncritically carefree. So yeah, it's NOT Christmas-y, since it has more of a "campfire with friends" feel than the warm fireplace with cocoa of christmas. But the creature(s) I came up with instantly came to mind with that concept. The most general concept is that sometimes, a creature is born of a concept in people's collective thought, such as the Easter Bunny - Such thoughts and needs for wonder and fun are given life. With this, what I creatively named "Lock-a-Knocks". Small goblin-like creatures that work as a collective, each around a foot tall, most similar in looks to Sableye the Pokemon, except with thinner, more lanky limbs and their "Ears" more spiky, their bodies seem to be made out of smooth, candleflame-like light. Their eyes appear as cartoony red X-shapes They appear with the holiday and seem to linger around for a bit, popping up here and there, though people rarely get a good look at them. They have no problem sneaking into houses and hiding just out of sight. As the name suggests, the most common way of knowing they're there is that they often knock on doors and from inside walls to wake people up, or randomly lock objects in the house that can be locked, often misplacing the keys or other objects. It does, however, pay to be on your best behavior because they may notice you are a good person and leave you a unique item (Often magical) as a gift, or punish you by rotting all the food in your house, stealing mundane items or cursing you with unbearable itching. It is noteworthy that none of those "Mean" activities are harmful, and if someone, even a player character, gets hurt as a result, they will still recieve a small gift as an apology from the creatures. It is also said that the exact number of them is 2001, they de-manifest when the holiday season ends and autumn fully comes. They're drawn to written poetry and will eat pages from books that contain it. Aside from all the things mentioned before, they can also turn invisible, have Uncanny dodge and probably most importantly, they are NOT fey, or undead. They don't actually fall under any class, they're completely unique and a few of the rare things that would fall under "uncategorized"

[@JohnHall-po6ts]

Awesome video! Congrats on you ongoing success! It is well deserved!

[@pedrostormrage]

19:14 "It's loosely based on an observed phenomenon where humans ascribe certain consonants and sounds to physical traits" That's literally called the bouba-kiki effect, and it is a worldwide thing. It suggests that there is a cross-modal connection between our senses, particularly between hearing and sight ("oo" and "ah" are often associated with soft and round objects, whereas "k" and "t" are often associated with sharp and angular objects).
