You weren't kidding when you said you two were making eclipses terrifying...

Nico seems so mean at this first meeting D: Does he remotely feel bad about this later, when they've been in the commune for a bit?

Also 👀 at the tags, yes I am looking forward to those last mimic rambles, yes I wanna know what happened to Juni!

-🎀

yeah we were serious about that! 🥰

and, well, i don't think nico feels horribly guilty for this here. (to be fair, he mostly doesn't think back to it a whole lot.) i mean sure, he feels somewhat bad. he clearly wasn't thinking an avian could last, and as such couldn't see the worth in trying to keep them alive. but just like kane, he's done a lot of learning since!

and when they meet the second time, he's genuinely impressed that they're still alive! (and honestly a little bit glad he was wrong.) (listen he also has a soft side. he just grew up a warrior.) it rattles some of his beliefs. because he didn't think it would be possible, and yet here scar and grian are, weary and traumatised but stubbornly, tenaciously alive.

and grian becomes a sign of hope for the commune. bright feathers and a beating heart.

nico acknowledges to scar one day, quietly. that he now understands why scar didn't take their offer back then.

that he wouldn't do it now either.

that some things are worth protecting even if the whole world insists it's moot effort and they're doomed.

he tells him he's glad the two of them are here now.

OMG IM SO SORRY I DIDNT MEAN TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE IM STEALING 😭😭 i mean more using of constant breaks inbetween segments n such for the formatting?? like i know thats a general writing thing but i was never rlly inspired to use it until now! same thing goes for the writing style, like having it jump between other characters povs n such?? ive never done that before and honestly i usually find it disorienting to write but ive began dabbling in that too!! (plus the having the characters thoughts in parentheses like this, i do this for messages n such but ive began slowwwlyy worming it into my writing?? like i rlly like it)

i apologize if i worried you or anything im bad at wording shit but i promise i didnt mean to steal anything or make it sound weird 😭 its all just for my personal works with my ocs that i dont share ^^

sorry again :(

awe no you’re totally okay!!! <3333 I had a feeling that’s what you meant but wanted to clarify just in case ☺️ I’m bad at wording things too so I 100% feel you on that front <333

I’m glad I could inspire some stuff for you :D !!!! I love using line breaks because it makes it Super clear when there’s a scene change of some kind or a time skip — literally one of the best writing tools ever fr fr

and !!!! that’s so valid on sometimes finding pov changes disorienting, I think a lot of it comes down to how it’s done/how smooth it is?? I tend to mostly stick to pov changes in different scenes (i.e. scene 1 being grian’s pov, scene 2 being scar’s) but I’ve found it REALLY fun to pov change in the middle of a scene. the key to that I’ve found is changing to a diff pov when the character is responding to something. it makes it really smooth and you get to go into how that character is thinking/feeling in the moment :D

I really really love pov switches because I like getting into the nitty gritty of how a character is feeling (case in point with like an arrow DFNFNFKK) and it makes the story feel fuller to me if that makes sense?? it adds a lot of weight when you know Exactly how both characters are feeling (unless the writer Doesn’t want you to know immediately hehe)

and :D using the parentheses is always really like. I love using them when a character is having contradictory thoughts and the thoughts in the parentheses are the True feelings or they’re an afterthought kinda deal :3c I’m glad you like using them!!!

but 🥺 I’m glad you could get more than just a story from my writing and find things to try out yourself and work them into your writing too <3333

Everything I wanna ask is stuff you're prolly gonna say 'wait for the rambles' xD I wanna know how they met, I wanna know more about the Vex colony in general... basically I wanna sit in front of you and Link and be like tell me everything.

I did see the word mate used in those rp snippets tho. 👀 Are Kane and Nico mates? Or am I misreading that?

And what do they think of Scar being with an avian?

-🎀

weeeeell maybe, but you can shoot your shot! :D

i'm going tell you... that they met before the vex arc :3c

vex commune is a great place! a little village with a wall partially around it, full of vexes who work together to survive. they have little farms, one single old goat, and they go out to hunt. and they are very against the hunters. they actively fight any that breach their area.

they're also rough. sharp-edged. they solve arguments through fighting. (their vex form can heal them so it's not like they're putting each other out of commission) they don't shy away from violence, and they like to live unapologetically. and... they do more than just survive. they make drinks and have little parties and celebrations, they dance and spar, they have communal events and train together. they go on patrols and have each others' backs. they're very protective of their own! a vex pack!

there's one more vex oc that will be in this arc, nadia. she's more of a calmer, guiding presence. she's older, and she's lost her mate, and... just like scar and grian, she isn't originally from this world :3c

yes, kane and nico are mates, you got that right! <3

grian being an avian is definitely tricky. (they're honestly just surprised he's even alive, with feathers like that—)

as for him being scar's mate, they definitely think he can't possibly give scar what scar (as a vex) needs. this becomes obvious when they ask grian about their mating marks, and why only grian is marked. (they don't know about avians and feathers.) they think surely this is unfair for grian's partner!

cue grian stressing himself out that they might be right and he's a bad mate to scar.

while the others learn to accept grian and realise they might've been wrong, grian also learns about vexes! for example, that they also like their wings touched, and it can be intimate and soothing for them! (just another failure on his part.)

of course scar is fiercely protective of his partner and madly in love though, so they're gonna be okay <333 and the others will eventually come to understand, too. it might just take a while, because it's all so very new to them.

(in the rp bit, you can see that it's even noted that there was a shift over time, right in this sentence: Despite claiming victory during their previous dispute over insensitivity, Kane clearly cares to get this right.)
