Aloy:

Tenakth painting your partner headcannon as im back in the F*cking building again of my beloved Kotaloy.

Patterns that use the fingertips of another person being considered a declaration, with the placement on the body changing the implications.

With the fact that our fingerprints are one of the most unique things a person has, having that design displayed whether as a thumbprint on a cheek or forehead, a whole hands worth around the throat or scattered like petals across the body under armor would hold significant meaning.

The more visible and obvious that its another person's 'Glyphs' the more serious a courting would be considered. Partners who are intending to be mated/bound ect would exchange very visible possesive glyphs in their respective colors.

This of course would open up a myriad of situations for everyone's favorite dumb trees.

Cultural misunderstanding where Aloy accidentally marks Kotallo with her glyphs? Check.

Not so accidental claiming where Kotallo doesnt remove them because hes a pining mess who assumes she doesn't know but wants to be hers in whatever way he can? Check.

Aloy trying to be as obvious as possible about her feelings for Kotallo but whos allergy to talking about said feelings drives her to actions instead; paired with said assumption from Kotallo that she doesn't know what it means and couldn't possibly want him as anything more than stress relief? Check.

Aloy leaving her Glyphs on Kotallo's maimed arm above the wrapping he uses as well as around his throat and having him give her his Glyphs in public to finally drive the point home? Check.

Kotallo leaving his Glyphs around Aloy's eyes and hand to remind her that she is not alone and she has a destination to return too when shes out in the wilds by herself? Check.

If anyone else has ideas for scenarios that would fit in with this "Painted Glyphs" concept id love to see them in the comments, im a sucker for the hurt comfort of these two. Drops links to playlists cuse I like to listen to personally curated for the character ones while I write.
