AHHH this is so fun! ok ok, i try to very seldomly talk about Atlas and Taryn and there's a lot behind that decision but I'll give you four facts as well as something about their initial concept (with a few pics from 2018 gwoah!) Also here's some pics I took while messing around with Reshade a while back :3

ONE:

i lurv,,, i love writing their romantic scenes together so much. it's one of the few things i have written ahead in the docs. whether it's full scenes or different chunks of dialogue. however, the reasoning for enjoying it so much is atlas is a creative artist and taryn is a romantic novelist so when i combine the two, i can be as fluffy as i want with the way they speak to each other. on top of that they have a really sweet emotional connection which allows for them to communicate through nonverbal means

TWO:

atlas doesn't sleep much, but when we do see him knocked out, taryn is usually near. (one and two) in the beginning of their relationship, taryn takes it as she might be a bore but atlas quickly dispels that. however, in the present as neither of them are speaking, atlas will think about taryn before he attempts to go to bed </3

THREE:

they are connected through a very important milestone in both of their lives which we will learn in the prologue. the two understand each other deeply because of this moment, this is what helps them see each other clearly. that sounds so ominous LMAO MY BAD ;A;

FOUR:

how they get together came to me in a dream which is also how i built the specific lot for that scene. there's also specific posing in mind i have for that to how atlas looks at taryn from how she cradles his face... AHH! i actually can't wait to show everyone that. if you're extra curious, this is the song i imagine playing :3 here's a lyric too because i'm EMOTIONAL: "Teeth clenched in moonlight A limitation, want to ignite Reset my biology"

FIVE: the past

ah, okay so! their relationship wasn't supposed to progress much. really all i had planned was taryn had been in an on and off again relationship with rowan in which the both weren't the best to one another. rowan being incredibly manipulative and taryn eventually breaking his trust through a one night stand with atlas. atlas's friendship with taryn tanks after that moment. i honestly ended up hating it so much. there characters weren't very developed to begin with, almost clean slates so it was incredibly difficult to write and ended horribly for everyone involved >.< pics from 2018 under da cut bc i will NAURT be jumpscaring anyone today
