#Icarus flew too close to the sun

[charlesoberonn]

Icarus wasn't supposed to fly too close to the sea as well.

The story is about moderation, not just about ambition and hubris. If it were, then Icarus and Daedalus would've been struck down as soon as they took flight.

He became Icarus!!!! He flew too close to the sun :>

If w e could do art we would so draw him as Icarus with his wings melting as he fell.

Icarus running away from Rae and back to Fable, back to something that they're way in over their head, to a place where they're hearing nothing but Fable and his half truths, but Icarus knows they're in too deep...

Notice how Icarus flew off in the direction of the rising sun...

hi elle! would love to hear more about your oc icarus if you want to ramble! particularly about her backstory with the lab stuff, that all sound so intriguing.

MEREDITH HELLO

ohhhh icarus :D okay SO first of all, i've got a playlist for her backstory if you want to check that out here: project icarus (content warning for emotional abuse)

icarus was a test subject created by a band of scientists who have been trying to create a winged person (<- i'm working on figuring out more of their motives/goals, and i don't have much but i think it has something to do with how coveted elytra are from the End, so maybe the scientists are trying to create a way to have elytra without reaching the End? which results in them creating bird hybrids....)

icarus was the First test subject, which meant the scientists hadn't perfected the hybrid form yet. they kept icarus in a tower and raised her there, slowly injecting her with more of the hybrid...stuff (dunno what it'd be Called). to keep her in submission, they were incredibly emotionally abusive & manipulative, and icarus developed a lot of fawning techniques to keep them pleased with her. they took her out of her test-tube when she was, like, sevenish in human years, and then raised her outside the tube in a room at the top of the tower after that, so she was with them for the majority of her childhood + teenage years.

now i am notoriously Not Great at creating plots & backstories sdljsdg, so i will admit her backstory's got lots of gaps and some weak spots xD but essentially, she lives in this room in the tower for most of her life as the scientists take notes & do experiments on her. she grows older, her wings grow stronger, and the one window in her room looks really nice..... she doesn't mean to disobey, she just wants a taste of the fresh air and the clouds look so pretty, as she tries to fly out to the roof of the tower.

well. the scientists stop her, and Are Not Pleased At All. their demeanor changes, and are suddenly a lot more aggressive/violent. it makes her realize she may actually be in danger. so she decides to book it outta there, and breaks out of the window and flies as far away as she can.

but, being Her, and having never Been Outside The Tower Before (yes this has rapunzel vibes xD), she gets really thrilled about the sun and flies too close to it she's gotta live up to her namesake after all which results in her wings burning and her plummeting to her death in a lake.

when she respawns at the lake's bank, her wings are still severely burned & damaged to the point where she can no longer fly. so she decides to make this place she's wound up in her new home. she names it resurrection lake and builds a wooden hut at its edge for shelter. the endermen nearby help by giving her bits of food that they find, since she has no real idea how to Stay Alive (talk about being sheltered). eventually grond arrives and they begin the deep green. :D
