#pleading intellect

Pleading Intellect’s chamber is made of glass, and sits in the middle of their city. They are a focal point of many festivals and will sing and dance and tell stories to the crowds of tourists who flock to their city to see them, as their structure is located in a beautiful area close to the shore. Because of the tourism, their city is very wealthy, and they are adorned with gold and silk to reflect that.

Isn’t it undignified? Watched at all hours, stripped bare, their art seen as entertainment to be consumed? PIn loathes performing by the time Pebbles befriends them. It feels meaningless, any artistic or emotional expression they put into them is chewed up and spit out without a second thought. At first, they’re reluctant to even talk about the ceremonies and dances with Pebbles, worried that he’ll treat them the same. But he doesn’t. He notices little things, asks questions, responds to them with intrigue, and PIn finally feels like they’re being seen rather than watched. They start enjoying creation again, at least when it comes to Pebbles, adding flairs of their own to dances they’d performed emotionlessly for cycles, putting emotion into them that someone finally acknowledges.

It’s a miracle they don’t rot themself the second Pebbles offers.

Pleading Intellect is an Anon Pseudonym but I general call them that because its what they're most known by. In my own headcanons, though, they're known as Half Wit Wonders. I just thought it sounded cool and kind of fits their attitude and curiosity in the few broadcasts we do see. Hallmark is also friends with Grey Winds. Hallmark tends to view Grey winds as the perfect image of 'Calm' and 'Responsible' they think they are while forgetting that Grey Winds does have flaws as well. They do eventually come to terms with that fact and have a better, truer friendship with them because of that. Which is why they make a messanger (With Pleading's help) to go and attempt to contact Winds when they suddenly go offline.
