#tbh i feel like Grimnir was created before they really thought about connecting him to Odin

Funny then that Cosmos has mismatched eyes as well, but the primals split from her don't, but Grimnir is the one who was split from Odin and also has mismatched eyes. It might be a coincidence, but it is interesting

Maybe mismatch is the fate of split individuals

Geo and Zooey each inherited one of the eyecolors of Cosmos, so i think it really showcase much more Cosmos's own split in her mindset - after all she is all about balance, and in a sense she splits herself in two - the one who would look out for the primals, and the one who would look out for the mortals. They're evenly split from her, they're two distinct part of herself, of her soul.

Yuni's eyes meanwhile are purple which is what would happen if Geo's blue eyes and Zoey's red eyes would mix together. I think it is meant to show that Cosmos is no longer split in two, it's no longer about a balance with two sides pulling on each other -- but Cosmos' true desire is for the two desires to no longer be divided, but be on the exact same realm of existence, hand in hand. It's no longer about Primals' rights, or about Skydwellers' rights, and the way sometimes priviligizing one would mean pulling on the other - it's about the coexistence between those two to be so harmonious that caring for one is caring for the other by default. (after all Yuni's weapon is called Harmonia).

I think it's therefore kind of a coincidence, as i expressed in the previous ask what i think Odin and Grimnir's eyes are like.

But it's still about representing torn ideals imo. It's still about showing this divide between the Original and the Creation.

So like... i think in Cosmos' case it's really much more about the whole thematic around balance, and in Grimnir's, it's about developping a new vision outside of his Original. Cosmos' views shapped her "children", but Grimnir is about "opening his eyes" to the things Odin don't want to see and acknowledge.

It's complicated to explain but in a way i don't think it's a coincidence on the ground of, to me, it seems that in substance, the miscolored eyes are supposed to express this divide between Original and Creations. It's the sharp distinction between the way the Original sees the world, and the Creation does.

But it kinda does stop there in the sens that the thematic i would associate with both reasoning are otherwise way too particular to their respective themes (or, mostly, that Cosmos' theme is so strong it cannot be applied to anyone else), that it returns back to being a coincidence.
