Welcome to the ask game. ::)
For the prompts, I'm curious about your answer to the Feldspar prompt, plus that's funny since you're blog name involves Feldspar, but I'd also like to give the Esker prompt.

Hi! I answered Feldspar's one here, so I'll do the Esker prompt!
Esker: I can't really think of anything for Esker, but I'm sure they wouldn't mind a conversation. Free yap spot. This ask is repeatable because it's fun to yap and Esker deserves the company.
Cool! Here's an Esker-related headcanon of mine!
While Esker remarks that many of the Hearthians tend to forget about them up at the Lunar Outpost, I think it's more a lack of communication than forgetfulness. Ground control and the other travelers definitely keep Esker in their minds, but they just don't stop by or radio in enough, not realizing how lonely it can get in between calls up there.
I think a lot of the villagers wave up at the Attlerock whenever it passes by, and sometimes Marl lays out the logs they cut down in different patterns or words that Esker might be able to see. When Esker's little scout lands in the village, the hatchlings gather around the lens and make funny faces and hold up their toys or a cool rock they found to show Esker. Porphy is still waiting to teach Esker to tap trees so they can make moon sapwine, even though Esker insists it will taste exactly the same as Timber Hearth sapwine.
