AVICUS UR SCARING ME BBY

;___;

;.; "if Ashlar can carry the power of wind in his voice, then surely he will summon the bear, and they both will perish" UM. My boy wishes he was this cool, but thank you for writing one of my favorite sentences with regards to him so far! I love Avicus so much. "she from defending him, and he from sheer incompetence" LOL

EVIL. and I love it. Especially the last line!

EYES

The way Avicus views the world is so intriguing to me! I love her. <3

I love the description of Avicus losing herself in everything that happened so far and snapping, well written! <3

"o, Reek! look what your children hath wrought." i love it

“ if Avicus—battle-hardened, raggedy Avicus—knew the other wolf held jealousy based upon appearances, she would have milked that for all its worth.” love avicus so much

"a desert traveler, dying of thirst, having stumbled upon an oasis" GO ON BB <33

"she stands, watching. like a Roman Emperor, ready to give thumbs up or down." in love with this imagery for avi!

i love her ok

I LOVE HER ;.;

heh :3c

gosh i love her so much

uGHHHH I LOVE HER

"...and so she grits her teeth and presses on, thinking not of the coming hours but of the future. of strong warriors and a big pack. of a legacy, of Nyra's throat in their collective grasp, and of the raven avenged." <333

"she instinctually growls from the corner of her mouth before remembering herself, and her daughter, and gives the pup brief lick instead." I love this ?

O_O ouuuuuuf! Spicy Avicus!! I love the way you’ve written this!

;.; SHE'S PERFECT

AHHHH <3333

MASQUE GOT'CHU, MAMA

kudos for making me bust out at the reminder that avicus has no earthly idea who her baby daddies are LMAO we need a dna tests bwp asap

"it will be a sad day, and yet, the writing had perhaps been on the wall since their infancy." aughhghh the drama the tragedy of it alll

:o

<3

<33

<333

i read this post and did an irl chef kiss by instinct, so that should tell you how good the writing is <33

Omg

I love how Avicus just. Is wholeheartedly Avicus. Amazing character

BEAUTIFUL AND POETIC. I love her (and these two) so much <3

this entire thread how did i miss it

this is such a love storyy

scrEAMING

*cheering from the sidelines*

"in all ways, he and Prophet are different. the warlord is rough-hewn, Ashlar delicate. Prophet is a fire that singes, the healer cooling water to soothe. Prophet acts; Ashlar sings. Prophet does; Ashlar dreams. she finds all these differences and more in his embrace and finally does not balk. for he and Prophet are different in all ways but one— they are both faithful and true. Avicus yields at last to the undeniable nature of their connection, and the time is right at last." deadass just copy-pasting this whole thread i have no line i can pick,, kudos for existing i guess <3

I wish we had had more time for Aventus and Avicus to do murders together but I am so grateful you were my writing partner and sister for the times they were together. <3 She is an absolute icon of a character and one hell of a Melonii and Redtail descendant who will be sorely missed!

aww! bye for now, mama! thank you for giving me the opportunity to play one of this girl's amazing kiddos. you're a rockstar <33

I think Chelsie perfectly said everything I’d say. I’m thrilled with the legacy Avicus has created, I will miss reading her posts but I’m so grateful you played my lil red baby. You’ve done a wonderful job, you are a great writing partner, and I hope to someday have a character that once again crosses one of your toon’s paths. Farewell for now Avi, may the bear be with you!!<3

<3 <3 <3

Love this! Welcome back!

EXCITED FLAILING

Yay! <3

WHOA how did I miss this?? So creative.

ugh she's SO GOOD AHAJSJSJ I love the power and the fury

Do you KNOW how much I love that I had no idea what to expect from her!? MY HEARTTT ;o;

;___;

;___________;

crying her ferocity and her strong sense of family has always made for such good emotional reading <3 I love u and her

<3

broken heart </3 We loved you, Avicus!!

The song matches perfectly. Loved her story. Goodbye Avicus. ;-;

It's been an honor and privilege to play one of Avicus's offspring. She was such an intensely distinctive character and it really drove a compelling dynamic for my own character. I truly would not have all these deeply enriching writing experiences with Masque if not for Avicus; she was the embodiment of a fiercely wild wolf and it was incredibly inspiring. I only hope we can continue her untamed legacy. She will be deeply missed.

avicus has been such a pleasure to read and this is a BEAUTIFUL way to send her off ;__;

I knew when you adopted Avicus that she was destined for great things -- never in a million years would I realize how epic those things were. RIP to a queen who set her own distinct dynasty. Avicus was so richly written, so wonderfully compelling, and I enjoyed every moment of watching her grow and start her own rich legacy. RIP AVICUS, ASTARA IS WAITING FOR YOU. <3

So sad

I’m a mess and haven’t even clicked on the song. Thank you so much for such a lovely character, she’s been amazing to follow and write with these past few years ;v;. Hopefully her kids can give her and Astara the legacy they deserve <3 ilu!!!!!

</3 redsky will miss his mother

Exquisite writing for an exceptional character. Utterly unforgettable. She'll be sorely missed <3

SOBBING. wish she and mul had more time together <3 she was such a phenomenal character, an absolute spitfire.

the seconds feel like hours. the wind feels like teeth against her face. Sounds like where I live during the winter in a nutshell. Lol.

Re-reading this just now...And it's excellent. <3
