Could you please review the wain petpet? They're my favorite little guys

The Wain has a great name, as it's likely a reference to the waning crescent moon (which is pronounced as "wain" despite the spelling), fitting with the moon on its forehead. It's a space (robot) petpet, and it looks appropriately alien with the space motif and all-black eyes. The yellow and blue palette looks really nice and makes the moon pop, and it's surprisingly cute all around.

Favorite Colours:

Eventide: Eventide is a great pick here for obvious reasons, given the moon and space theming. The moon is appropriately in the space area of the gradient, while there's just the right amount of red and subtle yellow to add a bit of color contrast.

Green: The Wain has almost no unique colours (only three), so I'm going with basics here. The green's nothing too crazy, but it just fits perfectly with it being a strange little alien.

Black: Once again, basic colour, but the black works well with the space theme and the original blue eyes really stand out against the black nicely.

Least Favorite Colour:

Robot: This isn't terrible or anything, but once again the Wain doesn't have many colours in the first place. It just feels really underwhelming that a robot Wain is just a regular Wain but standing up, slightly more segmented, and vaguely metallic, with a weirder forehead shape. I feel like way more could've been done here; replace the moon with a power button or give it cool glowing accent colors on a gray base or something.

Procrastinating story things by working on future story things that I'll probably never get to. I won't spoil who's who (though you're welcome to guess) but I'll share some random facts about them:

Three of them are descendants of asshat

Three are related to Archer

Two get married

One inherits the throne because their older sibling abdicates

One never marries and names their nibling (niece or nephew) heir

One was conceived via a sperm donor
