Acolyte had been making his appreciation and admiration for Providence's bird and general "monstrous" traits very clear for awhile before asking for the traits himself. When making the request primarily Acolyte wanted for his body to reflect how he felt, which was Sharp, he was sick of people assuming him to be a pathetic Sun in need of saving. He put off asking because of insecurity about this, and knowing that Providence didn't like these traits when applied to himself, but he hoped that seeing Acolyte want them would help Providence too. And it does make him feel better seeing that its not just empty words! The initial request was more about the claws/fangs with the feet talons being just a bonus inspired by Providence's traits. The more obvious avian traits like feathers and behavior that Providence has weren't originally included, but eventually become a thing that evolved on its own to further mimic him because this magic is Funky. Not that you can see Acolyte's feathers under his clothes

Providence and Acolyte, a Lord and "servant" duo where an Eclipse learns to appreciate his Sun and acknowledges him as his closest (only) companion. Providence is content handing over the power over their world to his Acolyte, letting go of something he thought he wanted, which eventually leads to him putting away the star entirely (though not without leaving a scar behind in his chest as a reminder of Everything).

Solar but his dimension's animatronic are disturbingly humanoid and not in a "heehee they can eat and stuff" way that the main cast mimics with nanos later, but in a "they essentially have a mechanical heart" way where a heartbeat from an animatronic alone is weird to others but becomes straight up disturbing when they attempt to fix his Sun and he's just lying dead while this heart thing is kept pumping
