Heavily unfinished pls be nice or else i will cry at you
i had to post this before i forgot about it. ok? ok.
I was in school and I had a brain blast abt an AvM/AvA/Alan Becker bird AU
What if Navy clipped his wings because Purple would instinctively use them to escape/defend themself against his abuse and saw that as 'cowardly'. Pink definitely wasn't a fan of this idea, but Navy still did it anyways.
Pink was Purple's helper with pin feathers, but after her death Purple gained a mess of them(primarily in the back). This was mostly due to being too focused on other things(Kingdom, Navy, his mom, etc) to properly take care of them and the feathers being too hard/uncomfortable to reach in some places
After Navy's disappearance, Purple's feathers are eventually regrown during molting(I would think the molting process would take much longer, considering their wings would be much bigger), but due to their wings being regularly clipped for so long, their flying was a bit wonky and their stamina wasn't great either
once King Orange took Purple in, around when they first met, the King helped train Purple to get him back on his feet and build up his stamina + skills due to it being generally more efficient for their at-the-time plan but also because a part of him felt pity for the kid
K.Orange was very subtle about his pity, not wanting to become attached to Purple since they had a mutualistic relationship at first, but after the events of ep. "The King" he doesn't mask his developed parental affection for Purp and they help w/ each others pin featjers
they live happily ever after as father and son and nothing happens ok gpoodnight
are u picking up what im putting down or am i just crazy and it's the 2 AM demons talking rn
