dont have anything super specific to say rn other than the fact that i am SCREAMING over the new mimic arc rambles!!!! aaaaaaaaaa

scar being forced out of the protector role hes held onto for so long at this point

the lingering uncertainty that they hate but cant shake

scars fear of weakness and not being able to tell whats real anymore

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

waaaa!! yeah those rambles were very fun to write! :3 thrilled to see u like them!!!

i esp enjoyed the whole. hunted bit. because it really takes things and turns them around. we've seen scar protecting grian, but i think it's important to realise grian'd do anything to keep scar safe too. that he's just as determined to help scar survive as scar is in regards to him.

scar being so wholly incapacitated is new, and it happens in the aftermath of something terrible where they're reeling and trying to find the ground beneath their feet again and... none of it is easy.

they're reacquainting themselves with trust. with the idea that both of them are here, together. that they really, truly found each other, despite all the odds. that if they lose sight of each other, it doesn't instantly have to result in abandonment and loss.

each time grian comes back from a supply run, scar looks at him as if he was a stranger, for a split second. recalibrating. it stings. it, inevitably, makes grian bristle and withdraw a little bit at moments, without meaning to.

and yet it also pulls them closer, with their talk of hermitcraft and a ritual of kisses; with them pressing clingily to each other with a rich and deep tinge of desperation; with them opening up the locked box of their grief...

they're back to square one, having only themselves in this world. and they're going to do everything in their power to never let go again.

that all being said... isn't mimic arc fun? :3

there's still so much to happen in this arc. i'm sooo excited about things that are still ahead of us <33
