(devours all of your a little blue posts and leaves a mysterious anonymous ask) hi i'm a huge fan already :D
do you think blue would get invited/pestered by caine into helping design environmental models? since blue struggles with creativity, i'm imagining them creating picture perfect, stock-image-like generated models of things, and then presenting them to caine to be artfully tweaked so they don't feel so... plastic and stale and void of personality. perfect flowers tweaked to have a bent petal here, a twisted stem there, a bit of brown creeping in on that edge there. meanwhile caine trying to help blue develop more of a sense for "creativity" during it maybe? offering instructions to just sort of... advice on how to rng slap defects in places?
idk. the brothers creating together and both being "bad" at it for different reasons. caine's flowers being so bright and full of personality they border on abstract until he carves them into something more recognizable by comparing them to his training data images. blue's flowers being like a flat png stock image given form. the sillies. <3
this is also random but something something, caine with bee imagery and blue with caterpillar imagery. a bright buzzing thing constantly moving and busy, if a little clumsy about it, and absolutely essential to the ecosystem. a small slow wriggling thing disguised as something meant to blend in or scare away unwanted attention, still growing and figuring itself out before becoming a beautiful butterfly, utterly bound to it's nature and the laws of it's life cycle unless it wants to die.
also abstract shapes bee vs singular perfectly straight featureless blue line caterpillar shfs. everyone wondering if blue's caterpillar is even alive before it starts vaguely inching across the floor like an inchworm.
okay that's all \o/ have a nice day!
Blue would have those "so perfect it feels lifeless" and Caine's would be so wacky and messy that it just screams him, if that makes sense lol.
But yes! Caine invites Blue to help with incorporating the humans' suggestions into expanding the circus (modeling and integrating them).
Blue didn't really like the idea of making something that would benefit the humans at first, but seeing Caine being so giddy over creating in general made them want to help. They wanted to be a part of something that gave Caine joy. Plus, they wanted to be useful somehow.
They end up learning from each other, Caine learning how to ground his output to something that's less wacky, Blue trying to learn how to actually be more imaginative, observing Caine and all that.
Also, FUCK I wished I saw this ask sooner because that bee/caterpillar comparison is why I was so stuck on the idea of Blue enjoying gardening.
A caterpillar going through the motions before finally breaking out and becoming a butterfly, a gardener watching their plants and their flowers grow from something so small to something… beautiful. Growing into their own, in a way.
