Send Me a Character & I'll Tell You game

Avoir (I had to lol)

KSJDHFKD YOUUUU /nm /lh

My first impression: oaugh he was so mean to us in the beginning :( honestly? i did not like him (shocker i know). setting aside not having context for why he was acting like that, his character just did not strike a chord with me. the only thing that i really liked about him is that he yaps a lot and uses fancy words, and im like a moth to a flame when it comes to that shit

My impression now: THAT IS MY HUSBAND RIGHT THERE!! ughhh i love him and his character development :( hes so tragic and just. augh. he lives permanently in my brain now, the brainrot is real. i dont think im "could quote word for word" levels of obsessed, but ive listened to his audios enough times to know what hes going to say next in some instances. really a whole 180 i did there

Favorite thing about that character: his absolute adoration for Starlight. in the flashbacks, you can hear how much he loves and cares for them, and i can practically see him gazing at them starstruck, its beautiful. literally makes my cry anytime he says "my starlight" im so deadass rn 😭

Least favorite thing: honestly theres not really anything i dont like about him?? hes literally my favorite character so ofc im gonna be biased 😭😭 if anything, id like to hear more abt his past. i know he told us that story abt him and Circinus, and presumably there was more from the first time they were in the trap together, and id really like to see that, as well as their initial growing closer (again, ik that we saw some of that, but id would still like to see a more detailed version of it. like, who dropped the first "i love you"? and etc). other than that, i cant name anything off of the top of my head that i dont like abt him

Favorite line/scene: OAUGH. I HAVE SO MANY.. for scenes, definitely the entirety of "Back to The Real World With Your Demon." i was screaming internally the whole way through, and Avior realizing Starlight had gotten their memories back will always have me in a chokehold. and shoutout to his hbs and springback audios too. for lines, "The things I feel for you fly in the face of every justifiable fear and suspicion that this situation has burned into me" GETS ME EVERY TIME MAN, HE SOUNDS SO SOFT AND IN LOVE AND GRRRHASGHFDGF

Favorite interaction that character has with another: considering that hes literally only ever interacted with Starlight and Circinus on screen, id have to go with when hes helping Starlight get to sleep and (again) his hbs and springback audios. while i do like angst (why else would i listen to his playlist mutiple times per month), im such a sucker for fluff its not even funny

A character that I wish that character would interact with more: again, considering that hes only ever interacted with Starlight and Circinus, there is a whole slew of characters that id love to see him interact with! probably another demon character, like Warden or Gavin, those would be fun!

Another character from another fandom that reminds me of that character: theres a character in a fandom named Caduceus Clay that my bf rlly likes, and i think him and Avior have a similar vibe :)

A headcanon about that character: augh i have so manyyyy 😭 ill just put down a few lol

Avior studied Greek and Roman mythology as a hobby during his first years on Elegy. he was at first intrigued by how thousands of years ago, the Greek had named the stars (which as you know, the d(a)emons are named after), and he just fell into a rabbit hole of legends and mytology after looking into it

he acted as a steward to Warden (the lore implications this would have would be CRAZY methinks)

after getting Starlight out of the trap, the areas of his body where his magic had torn itself away from him became white scars that resemble explosion scars. they're on his hands, arms, general chest area, and most of his tail. he also gained a facial scar from the fall he experienced

A song that reminds of that character: Upon Cobblestone Streets by The Family Crest. a while back i saw someone say that this song rlly fits Avior and Starlight's dynamic, i gave it a listen and immediately cried cuz they were RIGHT!!

An unpopular opinion about that character: two words: BODY💥WORSHIP💥 thank you for coming to my ted talk.

redacted brainrot my beloved <3 anyway, i have a hypothesis about the meridian, the weavers, etc etc. this would probably not make a lot of sense but i wanted to share.

ursula k le guin has a short story— quite a common one— called ‘the ones who walk away from omelas’ and it reminds me of how avior described the meridian. he says it's like a cloth through which magic can flow, and if the river is actually not just a bridge connecting life and death (?) but is a part of the meridian, it would mean that when brachium felt a dark power seeping through the river, he may be hinting (intentionally or not, i've no clue) that the weavers are trying to escape. the ones who walk away from omelas is a short story about a city where happiness is everywhere underneath which a child is forced to live in misery because the joy of omelas is contingent upon the suffering of this one child. this may be similar to the weavers, their magic, and the meridian. the meridian's constant desperate attempt at pulling starlight into itself may just be the weavers asking them to help them out, or they need star's magic and strength to get themselves out of there, or something along those lines.

in the short story, they're trying to maintain happiness in the city. in the redactness, they (? i have no idea who they are) may be containing magic, protecting it, or... something like that. but what's clear is (well, for this theory) : omela's happiness = redactedverse's magic.

if the weavers are forced to live trapped underneath the river, it may be because they provide/provided magic for present time's magic users, starlight being a major part of it as a freelancer (because the depth of freelancer magic is quite wide, as we know it) and, in many theories, a descendant of said weavers.

or it may be because their release would erase the limits of magic that belongs to those who aren't demons/daemons. even humanborn magic-users would be limitless. or would the meridian fall if the weavers are let out? it was stated that if ever the meridian is damaged too much, it can destroy both elegy and aria. can the weavers beneath the river (?) damage the meridian by trying to let themselves out? or are the magic users above sending themselves to their own doom? are the weavers just ascendants of present magic users, or are they sources of magic until the present day who are trapped somewhere?

i feel like my brain is being fucked raw right now.

oh my godddd this is SO sick. ive never read the story you mentioned but im in love with the way you connected it and the weavers. ill have to check it out sometime.

(im going to be using the term weavers and sovereigns interchangeably so stick with me here. weavers = sovereigns).

the weavers have been such a mystery in canon redacted lore, i think it can even be argued that "the weavers" are the sovereigns. the term "weavers" is not even a thing in d(a)emon culture, it was made up by closeknit. i always wondered how the sovereigns would play a role in the canon and going off of the theory that they're being imprisoned - not in aria, but under the river is fascinating.

brachium talks to a disembodied voice and refers to what it has done as a harvest. a feast, even. we're left to speculate what this being is harvesting all these souls for and honestly? it seems like it's gaining energy for something bigger (like the weavers breaking out).

let's circle back to closeknit and the balance plot-line for a second here. closeknit interfered with elliott and sunshine's plans for whatever reason. they didn't want those two stopping what was to come (the inversion). they believe that the weavers are this positive force that protected humanity from d(a)emons and closeknit is not discreet about their opinions on d(a)emonkind. i personally believe that closeknit used the inversion to feed whatever weaver/sovereign(s) is being kept underneath the river. they want this thing to be freed to grant unlimited power to human beings bc closeknit believes that's what the weavers can do. blake eludes to this, and i think zeke did as well.

i feel as that we're all building up to the release/escape of whatever's underneath the river. closeknit feeding it life force due to the inversion, starlight feeling drawn to the meridian and wanting to know "what it is", vega talking to warden about finding another source of food once humans go extinct (and we know what d(a)emons fed on before human emotion bc of the imperium), project meridian which is hands down - one of the most mysterious plot lines we have on the channel (why is it named that????)

now what do i think is going to happen once the weavers/sovereigns escape? i don't think doomsday bc the meridian isn't as weakened was it was in the imperium. people don't use magic that way in canon - it's much more regulated and not as abused. i mean, look at avior and starlight for example. when they punch holes in the meridian, it fixes itself. they can't pass through the meridian bc of how unyielding it is (save for their arms stretched out).

i believe that if the weavers/sovereigns escape, it's going to be a case of humankind (closeknit) asking for mercy (in this case, power) from unforgiving gods. closeknit wants the powers they believe the weavers to grant. but who's to say that that's something the weavers promise to give? if they're trapped underneath the river and their response to having connection to elegy is killing 1500+ people as a means of consumption, who's to say that humans are something they want the best for? so, maybe not end of the world, but maybeee apocalypse? or maybeee demonic uprising since demons would realize that the weavers/sovereigns are providing them energy and are like "hey, we don't need humans anymore" (cough cough vega).
