TOP Spoilers: Failson's anger
Spoilers for The Old Peace.
Erra Ramble:
like to me Hunhow has softened alot since being downed and sunk, and kinda reflected that he was not a very good dad, but he's still driven by his views to tear down what remains of the Orokin. Foxy Grandpa Hunhow that we see in The New War with drifter, and how he finally accepts The Lotus as a synergy of Margulis and Natah and how his primary goal shifts from extermination of the Origin to saving his daughter and letting her finally act free of orders or command Via Ballas or Himself. But like Erra was right there.
Everything about Erra is that he is unimportant and strives to be important. He is always emulating his controller, first when he takes Natah away from us and when he emulates Ballas during the Invasion of The New War, because he has no identity to act with. While I need to go back and adapt my head canon about *why* the Archons are animals since new information has made it clear that while they are Erra's creations, they aren't exactly his original designs, it's him working with two derivative ideas and fusing them to try and make something new. he like, doesn't quite have the space to fully express his desire so he takes known ground and shifts it to work the way he wants but it's imperfect.
You take this kid who was the first of a generation of new Sentients that were capable enough of thought and growth but not necessarily of outside the idea of a primary function. Personally IDK what Erra's designed function would be, Natah is a Mimic, Hunhow a Farmer, but Erra feels different because he's not quite anything. So you take this kid and pump him full of ideals, about the greater cause against the Orokin and their wasteful destruction and opulence, of the animals that were wiped out and their imagery and what they stood for. His personality and identity are Tau, he doesn't have enough room to grow, and then he gets sent to the Sol System and he witnesses The Old War and because of that freedom and chaos he begins to actually grow and learn about his people and the people that made them. and that's where I see these Archons coming together, fundamentally I see the actions of a child who has these favorited, legacy animals that are so important to him, that stuck with him, and so when he gets the chance to weaponize the tools of a Warframe for Tau they take that shape on almost instinct. when he becomes the backbone of the Narmer fleet we see him acting on this desire for any control by mimicking Ballas, taking out his desire for control on the people of the origin system, but not actually being in control, just another pawn for Ballas Red Circle. And when he finally wishes up and has enough experience and world-wise knowledge he realizes his mistakes and helps us in the last leg of our journey at the cost of his autonomy, something he'd been fighting for the entirety of his arc.
idk this is just my brain lol, I just, if Erra made the Archons , then he had to craft the owl statuettes on Boreal's wings, and I think that shows love and creativity breaking through the cracks.
I empathaize alot with Erra because I feel very kindred with my looks, my height, my battle for identity and autonomy in the face of uncaring or harmful people, and I think the idea behind the Archons and Erra's actions in the new war just really struck a chord with me. I love my weird guy.
You cannot tell me the Drifter did not put up a show for the ventkids like this. Inspired by Disney's Robin Hood's song Phoney King of England.
The composition sucks, but here is a crossover piece I've been planning to do for ages.
Meet the Infested Sentient Uzzey, daughter of the great and terrible Hunhow.
And Erra Doorman, the grumpy outcast son of Khan Doorman. His bark is worse than his bite.
