In simplest terms, Tekoa and Nephila's relationship is "buddy comedy between a slightly stupid ant and the grumpy ancient spider ghost shoved into his skull".
Tekoa wants to see the world, Nephila wants to either get her body back or make a new one. Win-win(?)
Tekoa (he/him)
The necklace he wears is an artifact that he found in the remains of an old weavenest. Resembling a weavelight, it is imbued with Silk which contains Nephila’s consciousness along its soul-strands. Upon picking it up, the pendant wrapped itself around his neck and fused together, making it impossible to remove.
Wields an oversized scythe fashioned from the jawbone of a large creature. He made it long ago, in a time where he was much more insecure and overcompensated by building a large and impressive weapon. As he was stuck with it, he eventually learned to wield the huge scythe properly- his natural strength as an ant helped a lot with this.
Like most Skarr, Tekoa has a fondness for music. He enjoys singing, and has a surprisingly beautiful singing voice. He’s rather shy about singing in front of others, though.
An adept hunter and trapper, as trained by his brethren. He wears a skull taken from an undersized Skull Brute.
Despite being a hunter, he has a gentle heart and has a soft spot for cute baby creatures. He will never harm or consume one, even to his own detriment.
Tekoa has always been possessed of a wanderlust strange for a eusocial bug. He enjoys exploring far beyond the bounds of the March, and often wonders what lies beyond the borders of Pharloom.
Nephila (she/her)
(GLaDOS voice): "How are you holding up? Because I'm a necklace."
Nephila’s mind is trapped within the glowing pendant that Tekoa wears, and she seeks to either find her old body or create a new one. For this purpose, she’s joined forces with her unprecedented host.
A genetic quirk affected the composition of her Silk, tinting it a gold color. While pretty, this has little to no effect on its use.
She can share her silken strength with Tekoa, empowering his body and allowing him access to her Silk abilities for a time. She can also temporarily take control of his body.
She wove her garments herself. Her Citadel brooch is a remnant of the life she fled. She didn’t have the chance to replace it with something else before waking up in the pendant.
Her merging with his mind can allow him insight to languages and texts that he ordinarily wouldn’t be able to understand. She can also show him memories.
Carries herself elegantly and speaks in a similar manner, though she is easily reduced to frustrated swearing.
Rules:
No NSFW (But some mildly suggestive jokes/memes are ok. Nothing explicit, though.)
This blog will contain spoilers for Silksong!
This isn't a shipping-focused blog. I don't mind it terribly, but whatever the hell Tekoa and Nephila have going on isn't romance, that's for sure. Shippy asks are ok as long as they're lighthearted and unserious.
I have the right to not answer/delete any asks that make me uncomfortable.
Hate asks will not be tolerated.
Some of my posts/asks will have art, but this isn't guaranteed.
Usually, Tekoa is the only one who can hear and see Nephila. Those with the ability to read minds, see auras, or sense Soul are likely able to see and hear her. Some who could possibly sense her include Eva and the Snail Shamans, though this is not yet tested.
