#Flying Without Wings

BUCK/TOMMY - Flying without wings

You find it in the deepest friendship The kind that you cherish all your lives And when you know how much that means You've found that special thing You're flying without wings

They're so impossible as they may seem You've got to fight for every dream 'Cause who's to know which one you let go Would have made you complete

Well for me it's waking up beside you To watch the sun rise on your face To know that I can say I love you And any given time or place It's little things that only I know Those are the things that make you mine And it's like flying without wings 'Cause you're my special thing I'm flying without wings

And you're the place my life begins And you'll be where it ends I'm flying without wings And that's the joy you bring My baby My babe I'm flying without wings (Lyrics by Westlife)

Flying Without Wings - Brother/Sister Wedding Duet

I've been going through some of my old videos on YouTube. Can't believe it's been over a year now since my brother got married. It was an absolutely fantastic day. And I loved singing our song together. 🥰

Skykid Wings hc tonight :)

I like to think about how they have layers and mimic capes is through light forming to match it and the actual winged light being like veins of energy that weave through them to allow flight.

My brain keeps going back to the hhau rambles and Grian asking Scar about taking his wings off and just...how incredibly short-sighted that "fix" would be. Because like, even if he lost one/both his wings and lived through it....he'd still have his instincts. He'd still chirp...he'd still wanna be high up in nests but he'd have to climb now. He'd never be able to wrap himself in wings again... depending on when that earring of Scar's might be the last of his feathers... and oh gosh post rescue? The hermits seeing him without wings and all the questions and looks of pity. Some well meaning hermit maybe brings him an elytra which he's never needed before and oh that could cause a spiral

-🎀

oh gosh. oh okay. i see you're bringing angst to my doorstep.

grian definitely wasn't thinking clearly in that moment. he simply reached a point where he can't see any other solution. so much of his anguish is tied to his wings. he's in pain and scared and he desperately wants it to stop.

he's learned to despise his wings. they cause him so much turmoil and everything that was ever good about them—everything he loved—has been meticulously erased. they're not pretty. they are dirty and grimy and itchy. heavy, unwieldy, muscles locked up, clumsy and aching from disuse. they no longer feel like a proper part of him. he's not using them, he's just constantly fighting to tuck them away. to make the world believe they're not there.

well then... wouldn't it be easier? if that was the reality?

to him, it sounds like a long-term solution to an otherwise never-ending problem.

his wings are a beacon, and wouldn't him and scar be so much safer without them? if he didn't have them, there'd be no reason for people to madly hunt him. maybe then they could stop running and catch their breath. maybe then scar wouldn't be in constant danger just from being near him. maybe then the fear lodged into grian's spine and the endless string of triggered panic attacks would finally go away.

yes, he'd still have his instincts. but he's already grounded. he's already not using his wings for any sort of comfort at this point, and flight is not an option. he's craving nests and high places, but that doesn't mean he can get them, wings or no wings, and— he was fine without that on hermitcraft! surely if the pain and fear stop, his instincts will calm down? surely, he can get at least a semblance of control back?

and you need to realise. there was no thought spared to the hermits. at this point, scar and grian have given up and no longer expect or even hope to ever be rescued. in their minds, there's no one coming to save them. there's no home to go back to. it's just this.

it will always be this.

and this is painful, and grian is clawing at ideas of making it better somehow—anyhow—no matter how drastic or gruesome that option might seem.

that all being said... man. that big what if. what if he really lost them? what if, one way or another, he managed to get rid of his wings? what if that happened and he survived?

your point about how scar's earring would be the last of grian's feathers is so heartrending. that'd be so tragic and sad.

and then post-rescue, the hermits would have even more proof of the damage. even more questions, too. even more helplessness as how to help, when the damage done is long since unfixable </3

grian, having to wrangle with having a safe environment to fly again, but having no wings to fly with... especially if that was his own choice. if it was preventable. ouch.

i like to think the sprout on his head wiggles when he feels really really happy

The whumpee had grown used to their cage by now, and they were used to their wings being restrained to prevent them from escaping- but that didn’t make them miss the sky any less. The whumpee yearned to break free from the whumper and see the bright blue sky again, with no restrains or pain.

"Why didn't the Orlesian Wardens try harder to get into Ferelden?" Senior Warden Riordan did not sneak across the border alone, try to negotiate opening the border at what he thought was a good-faith parley only to be imprisoned and tortured, still manage to bust himself out as soon as he saw an opportunity, make contact with the remaining Fereldan Wardens, fight with them in the final battle despite being unable to get the rest of the Wardens in, and die giving them a fighting chance to kill the Archdemon for us to say that the Wardens all gave up on Ferelden.

I made another PJO girlie, Roman Edition!

Her name is Adonna Leighton, she’s a child of Venus, and she has a magical choker that gives her the ability to conjure up a pair of wings for a short amount of time and fly around like Cupid
