aster stealing aventurine's money AND drip :)
top 5 sea creature. :]
MAX I DONT KNOW THEIR NAMES
1 -{[[[[[) <- THEM U KNOW THEM.
2 RAYS. funny face
3 crabs .......
4 shark :) pubpys
5 mantis shrimp bc theyre the hlvrai fish to me
you've heard of wet rabbit? well what about lucky rabbits (who gamble)?
penacony has finally finished stewing in my brain........ i loved the whole thing and cried so many times but it was sometimes rlly hard to enjoy because of the constant untagged story leaks.
so heres my little guys to celebrate :)
aster finally shatters the chains that sealed away her emanator abilities and has come to terms with the 'real' aster's death and can no longer pretend to be them. She still has a long process trying to figure out who she actually is, existing in a grey area of no longer being 'pollux' but is not the 'real aster' either. they are both part of her but she is not either one of them.......... she lets part of her halovian traits become visible again (her wings!!) as she moves on from penacony :D
and i think aventurine is kinda in the same area of. i hc that he has a difficult time referring himself as/being called kakavasha but has no other alternative outside of 'aventurine' so hes also stuck in the same grey area that aster is experiencing. they can heal together <3
damn. i miss aventurine sm..............
i feel like i did him SO dirty bc he was the character i was most excited for and knew right away i was making an oc to ship with
his whole story in the trailblaze mission hit me like i truck like. i sobbed multiple times and it was so agonizing because i got SPOILED for the 2.1 quest bc genshit/hsr twt is horrendous and were posting CONSTANTLY about 'oh look here's his broken cornerstone and this text message that said he may or may not be alive' so i was so fucking anxious leading up to the actual quest
but at the same time i was in a different fandom space at the time (probably still sobbing over neuvi/wetrabbit........ or wait no it was otto i think) i was so emotionally invested but also. not at the same time jfdsklfds
like aster/pollux has got to be one of my most complex characters ive made:
was raised in an annihilation gang sub-faction of halovians and probably committed wayyyy to many war crimes, including ravaging entire planets into Nothing
has some sort of epiphany that causes them to defect from the annihilation gang; not out of guilt but they were rabidly falling into ix's shadow and was just like, 'nothing matters, whats the point of living to destroy or to destroy to live'
they are pulled out of the void by a self annihilator/doctor of chaos, the 'real' aster. who happens to be a victim of a civilization that was decimated by the annihilation gang, the sole survivor that will be remembered by none
i can't even describe aster & pollux relationship; its completely undefinable. they are two nobodies who would travel the universe and no one will remember them.... but its ok bc they have each other.
aster eventually dies, loosing the fight against ix's shadow. and pollux is about to be completely swallowed by the void, you would think that theyre like 'oh no i cant be alone i dont want to be alone the only person that knows me is gone and nothing else matters' but theyre actually just experiencing the overwhelming feeling 'they cant die, they deserve to be remembered by anyone and everyone this wonderful human being CANNOT be remembered by just me'
and thats when they are gazed upon by fuili, becoming an emanator of remembrance: all because they wanted to keep the memory of their dead friend alive
thus pollux takes on the identity of 'aster' becoming their friend, its their way of keeping aster 'alive' and honoring their memory: with a goal of interaction with as many people as possible so that aster will be remembered by them.
the guardian of recollection's purpose to preserve ALL memory of the universe while aster's purpose is to keep the memory of ONE person alive
wiat this was. supposed to be abt aventurine and avenaster.............
i guess bc aster is so developed on her own w/o the need to attach her to a canon character romance for a good chunk of her development. i'd say that acheron and the astral express have the BIGGEST influence on aster
like i love wetrabbit and silvanus so much but. silvie is much more of a personal character to me, she still has complex character traits but a lot of her development is fueled by nearly the entire fontaine cast and that allowed me to think more abt her close relationships with the cast & especially neuvi. so i get more ship content
but anyways. stan luckyrabbits <3
luckyrabbits time :)
Aster can absolutely see thru Aventurine's insecurities, probably after saving him from [insert some sort of shenanigans] and she sees the mask drop for a few quick seconds.
She's blunt about it but very indirectly, there's only been a few times wheres she like 'look, not everyone is out to get each other. its ok to trust someone and be vulnerable' and the more the two work together the more Aventurine becomes off-put by Aster. He's on Edge waiting for the shoe to drop and she fucks him over and he's back to fending for himself
But she doesn't and eventually its HIM who betrays her and she gets imprisoned by the IPC. and he feels so guilty and sick directly afterwards
i love these two because, Aster doesn't full see herself in Aventurine. But knows what its like to have no one to rely on and confide in, but then she meets Real!Aster and understands the feeling of being loved and cared for.
And after assuming Real!Aster's identity and taking on her mission of finding meaning in existing as a doctor of chaos see comes to see Aventurine as a Project and continues to gravitate towards him more and more
his good luck charm :)
