I'm tired but I need to post this today

Final day of #mayvian; freedom?

Fair warning, this is a little depressing but ultimately a good end for poor Cho

I did have a mini story planned for this but my dumb ass didn't write it down and so much has happened irl since that I forgot it and am too tired to rewrite. More or less it was an internal dialogue that led to Chosen letting himself be taken by the water.

So yeah Chosen dies at the end of his story in this au (likely not from drowning but this looks better for the prompt than Dark slicing him open or something. Depends on how important he is to the rest of the season though, I might end up killing him off earlier than canon). From there there's a few paths the aftermath story can go. The two I'm deciding on are either; 1, Alan redraws him. Total physical reset, his powers are back, his voice is back, he's not an avian anymore, he's genuinely happy about that, until he realizes he's pretty much stuck in the PC, because if he goes back to the Outernet he's just going to turn into an avian again. He can still live in Minecraft at least and the cg are there to help him adjust. Or, option 2, he gets reincarnated as a whole new stick. No painful memories, no trauma responses, just the carefree life he should have lived had he been uploaded like everyone else. A fresh start with a new identity. In this case he would still be friends with the cg through meeting Purple so they're not completely separated.

This might just be me but I think the reincarnation route is better. I get the whole healing takes time thing and 'trauma builds character' stuff but Chosen has been through enough already and he deserves to be happy as soon as possible. But if you have any objections or a better idea then feel free to share, I love reading what you guys think.

Also before I finish up I just want to say, I am not condoning suicide with this. If you feel like death is the only way out of your situation then please seek help and confide with someone. The only reason I'm doing this is because this is a fantastical world where perfect resurrection has been shown multiple times. In real life, there's always a better option. Please hang in there.

Alright that's it. Sorry if I bummed anyone out, I'll have something cool from the latest episode tomorrow.

Minor Announcement

Just want to let everybody know that this blog will be open for late submissions until the first Sunday of June ^^

[lemmeinnow2]

Last Mayvian Submission

(This is for the last week and based off the main villain's past for being a runt and different.) Warning contains Mutilated Wings

His name is Nug, just cause his head was hollow, born last in a familly of 10 full of crows, his brother's didn't like him, specially when one of them ganged up on the runt

[laurawitchart]

Final week of #mayvian; freedom

Enjoy this beautiful moment when Purple gets her wings back and takes her first real flight (well technically second, the fight to the death doesn't count).

Just one more piece to go.

Mayvian Week 3 - Comfort

it’s a little rushed and also not really finished but that’s OK.

I find it kind of funny how each week has been centric around a different Hollowhead. Initially, it wasn’t even on purpose XD

final week will have TDL so we can keep up the pattern

(I also totally didn’t zap myself on my computer while drawing this lol)

uh idk if I’ve stated these guys’ bird species before (tho I know that I’ve stated TSC’s), but I’ll say it again.

Purple is one of the few Wing-Mixes. Specifically, they’re a Black Swan and a Magpie. Blue is a Blue Crane but might later be changed to a Wing-Mix between a Blue Crane and a Great Blue Heron. TSC is a Blue & Gold Macaw of Pheonix Nature.

Btw, Purple & Blue being seemingly taller than TSC is on purpose! They’re the two tallest in this AU lol (Heights are based on bird species for the most part)

[laurawitchart]

More snuggling avians, featuring Purple and King.

Precious baby Purple deserves all the hugs.

Week 3 of #mayvian; comfort.

The next few prompts are going to be fluffy, assuming I can get to them. Not to get into detail but life happened and I might not find the time/motivation to draw, which sucks because I really want to finish this and am really looking forward to the last one I have planned. I don't know if I'll be able to relax or have any free time or if I'll even be able to celebrate my birthday tomorrow. I'll still try to get these pieces done though.

Anyway enjoy the snuggling vicsi.

3rd Mayvian Submission

Just Dad's hugging with their only child in bed (the only safe place other than Blossom's bedroom)

[lemmeinnow2]

#Mayvian post

Who doesn't love a blind Avian traumatized by her own fear? Well, maybe she's onto something because her dad's can't see it (#Mayvian post for Week 2) Shiver/Trembling was my pick

[laurawitchart]

Another day, another #mayvian prompt, another poor distressed bird.

(please ignore how shitty her blanket nest looks)

More Purple angst, this time mourning the loss of her newly docked wings.

Let's all give Navy a big round of applause for his amazing parenting skills. And a kick in the nuts while we're at it.

Mayvian Week 2 - Distress

“Stop looking at me like that.”

deadass rushed this but that’s Ok.

idk if I’ve stated this in some other post but uh, in case I haven’t, Chosen is the only other avian character that’s like Vic in the sense that they both have Primary and Secondary wings. Nobody else has that (for now). Chosen is also one of the few Wing-Mix avians (Aka. Avians that have multiple bird species for one set of wings. Other examples would be Purple and Green).

Specifically, Chosen’s Primary Wings are a Martial Eagle & Crow/Raven Mix, and his Secondaries are Canary Wings (he hates them so bad it’s not even funny).

I just realised how much this drawing contrasts the Week 1 one lol.

[laurawitchart]

On to week two of #mayvian; distress.

This takes place right after Mitsi died and Vic isn't taking it well.

Mayvian Week 1 - Disabilities/Mutations

just managed to finish this one in time lolz. I’m really happy with how it turned out.

This is Victim in the past btw, probably sometime around 2010/2011-ish. His specific bird species are a Snowy Albatross (Primary Wings) and a Leucistic Mourning Dove (Secondary wings)

His Primary wings were clipped multiple times during those first months of his life. Normally, the feathers would regrow but, since they were damaged so many times (+ he got greyed), the feathers won’t grow back. New ones that get broken or damaged will regrow, but the old feathers that were erased are gone for good, which has rendered him flightless.

The veil/shawl was gifted to him by Mitsi. She made it with the help of some of the villagers to just give him a sense of comfort and also for him to have a way to pretend that his wings were ok.

After Mitsi’s death, he sewed the already existing veil/shawl onto another one so it was less transparent because he wanted to give the illusion that he was powerful. That he could fly. He refused to seem weak again.

Mayvian 4-10 Paticipiation!

I thought I'd center it around Blossom and Marigold who both have mutated colored wings Blossom's a albino Raven who happens to be blind (Well a higher and more likely chance to be blind/deaf if an albino And Marigold's wings are rare

[laurawitchart]

Another #mayvian prompt. Still on the disability prompt but that's ok because there are a couple of defects that are avian exclusive in my au, such as perma-chirping.

(I tried to make this look like a panic attack. Did I do ok?)

Poor little creature. Losing your ability to speak so soon after gaining your freedom. On top of your body changing and breaking to the point where it doesn't even feel like your own. If only you had someone to help you through this.

(this takes place right after Chosen turns into an avian btw. Basically what's happening is that his bird voice are completely overriding his normal speech)

[laurawitchart]

Gonna put my bird au designs on a slight hold to do some miscellaneous #mayvian prompts. Thankfully they're weekly not daily so I should still have plenty of time to get part 3 out in a timely manner, but until then, enjoy my birbs in random scenarios.

First up is disability. It's a little hard to see cause of her tail but basically Purple's wings are in no way suited for flight. The elytra helps but it's not the same.

Some slight design changes for the CG but nothing crazy. Just an extra layer of spotted feathers on Green's tail and changed Yellow's wing pattern from ombre to speckles, as well as the bird legs and beaks going away.

This honestly works out because now I get to tease what's going on with Purple before I outright explain everything.

I'll be doing at least one of these prompts a week so stay tuned.
