#lightfall duo

Thought I'd make the lightfall duo as this meme since it felt fitting for them

Original art/base under the cut

Read this with the understanding I've only watched/listened to Graecie and Avid's POV and I didn't finish watching either of their streams so I got limited info.

Is anyone else getting bad vibes from tf!Graecie like not from the character themself but like her background, dispute what cc!Graecie said its giving culty or at least kinda. Because for one, though well intentioned tf!Graecie seems to be quite preachy, her going on about how it's her mission to help people by teaching them about her goddess The Sheppardess and getting them to join the flock and how everyone is in the flock even though they might be lost.

This is very similar to like any Christian reilgion but in my experience being raised as a JW/Jehovah's Witnesses it reminds me of what I was taught growing up (for context JW's primarily do preaching work going door to door to share the "good news" of they're religion and the example of lost sheep is mentioned/used often in sermons).

Though I wouldn't call JW a cult (dispute not agreeing with the beliefs) I do know of other religions that I would most definitely consider cults (Mormon, FLDS those are the main two that come to mind but theres others). Based on what I know of actual cults, one of the big things is isolation which is been confirmed by Graecie she said she hasn't seen or meet more then like twenty people which sounds absolutely crazy to me. Like what about merchants or random stragglers/adventures??? Like how is that possible to not meet people outside of your religion or village before(also beware I could be wrong on this because I don't remember the exact phrasing)??

Another thing if isolation is a big thing then why the heck is she just wondering around without any supervalence? Well two options for that 1. Shes been specifically assigned to do this (the preaching thing) which still leaves the question of supervalence or 2. She was separated from her flock (which has no evidence or at least from what I know) or secret 3ird option she not in a cult just a weird religion (no offense to The Sheppardess she seems cool but I don't know about her worshippers).

Another thing that concerns me about tf!Graecie is her red choker necklace. Like visually it sticks out (along with their prayer beads and ribbon) in comparison to their white hair, clothes, and pale skin. Like I'm not at all a character design expert but it makes me think there's something wrong like idk a foreshadowing of a death or it hints towards something dark soon coming to light. It just feels too intentional to not mean anything. Also another thing the her hair being white was mentioned as like apart of being part of the flock this both feels like important information and also less relevant but thought I should bring it up.

Whole other thing is I very much like how different tf!Avid and tf!Graecie are.

Like Avid he's a ex-prince who most definitely has meet hundreds if not thousands or more people. He's has his weird unique confidence. And he's killed many people and feels no guilt for them and is itching for more murder (righteous murder of course). It's giving the opposite of anything pure or naive.

And then there's Graecie like has not meet more then twenty or more people(hasn't even left her village untill just now). Has high anxiety(which makes perfect sense for her whole situation). The thought of her murdering people sounds far from something she would do/would think of doing.

But also they have similarities. Both being used to laying/sleeping on the floor or hard surfaces (this being another thing that concerns me greatly about Graecie), they both are anxious both in their own ways but still and they get along splendidly (I very much hope to see more of their possible friendship).
