#wildmin

I did some digging (read: listened to the full album) and tbh it seems pretty likely that the song is based on Wildmin! I am so full of love and joy!

they considered Grace/wildmin to be the face of it & they wanted her 'fired'. She is leaving wild for the chargers next season (everyone joint cry session?😭) but unfortunately for those losers they weren’t the reason for it

thank you for clarifying i was so lost!!!

Mome directed her gaze down to the yellow pikmin sitting beside her, “Did you know another purple pikmin before you met us?”

Sparki winced internally at the direct and accurate statement. Mome was so quiet and easygoing, they forgot that she could be so perceptive.

“Y-yes. I did”

The other pikmin sat and waited patiently for more.

Sparki sighed and continued. Mome was trustworthy. She would understand.

“Saihas was like, my teacher, my mentor. He showed me how to be a wild pikmin.”

Sparki thought back to how those huge violet hands showed them how to wield a spear. “We’ll need to find a smaller one for you, the ideal stick is both a weapon and a support.” He had said, humming and searching the ground.

He had taught them about the changing seasons, the best overnight resting places, how to find nectar, the behaviors of different predators…

Sparki blinked back to the current situation. “And then one day in winter I just woke up and he was gone.”

“Just gone?” Mome whispered.

“There were footprints in the snow but they just ended. I don’t know what happened” Sparki shook their head.

 “I’m sorry.” Mome replied. She knows that her friend doesn’t want pity though, “But it’s thanks to Saihas’ teaching that we’re all here and safe now.”

They both looked across the clearing, Roska seemed to be telling Zin and Loomden a story.
