#esp since the turns are a special thing that happens bc of how elytra work

[mossy-covered-bones]

Okay let me talk abt my latest interest (hermitcraft) real quick

I cant help but pay attention to the different ways they all use their elytra?

Like scar does a lot of large, sweeping flybys, where he starts high and pulls up at the ends a lot—like ive seen some larger birds do short glides and he uses almost the exact same movements. Wider circles, too. Just larger smoother overall motions

Grian does a lot of very tight turns—in flight maneuvers and almost always when he comes in to land, and he does less swooping and more level glides.

The other two i watch, bdubs and cleo, dont do quite as much on camera flying? But i notice bdubs does a lot of aerial turns to bleed off speed BEFORE he lands, rather than doing it to land like the first two do. And he has a tendency of circling more when he’s talking + flying, like how scar swoops or grian glides during their little monologues. And cleo wiggles instead of circles to bleed off speed, i havent noticed anyone else doing that, at least not as widely

Idk theres probably a lot im missing since ive only been really paying attention for the past few episodes while im working my way through the season 9 backlog. But its interesting to see if i can catch their little habits. And try to match their flight patterns up to real birds
