commission created by the lovely and ridiculously-talented @plastic-pipes—a moment from one of my Hawk and Thrush fics (gray areas and expectations), brought to life.

I'm honored and beyond excited to show it off! The softness, the lighting, and the physicality are perfect. Thank you, Pipes, for this gorgeous piece! ❤️☀️🏹

Hello! It has come to our attention that some of you may have trouble telling us apart.

The Sun will illuminate your path as we have come up with a solution! Lets cast off:

Now, bask in the luminance of our faces

If you've looked at us for more than 2 seconds and you’re not sure - don't panic, we won’t report you to Compliance - take a step back and don't post/reblog on socials or say anything out loud. All hunters need to regroup from time to time.

Next, ponytails. One of our most defining traits that no one in the world ever wears.

You’ll see that Talanah’s ponytail is flame shaped and her hair is more wavy. Seyka is like a smooth cascading waterfall. On to head accessories. A good Marine takes the time to observe!

Talanah wears a crown made from machine parts. Like a bird! Seyka’s ponytail has a headpiece with little antennae. Like a moth! Oh and she has a focus on.

Finally - Tides take us, if you still can’t tell us apart - then just LOOK AT OUR OUTFITS

By the Sun, most importantly: check the tags of the original post to confirm the artist’s intention. We’re all here to celebrate these characters and they’re worth getting to know!

There you go!

BIG SHOUTOUT TO KELSO FOR THIS AMAZINGLY FUN AND CHAOTIC COLLAB!!!! Kelso gave each slide such a fun layout (and as always, absolutely slays with Talanah art!). We both adore our girls and we hope you enjoyed their special powerpoint presentation. P.S - this is a joke - we hope....

Meridian rising with the sun 🌄

Horizon Zero Dawn

I really love all the little parallels and similarities between Talanah and Aloy's stories

Losing a father (/figure) during an event where he fought to keep them safe

Living up to the legacy of their dead family, wheb all of them died courageous and selfless deaths

Fighting to make a change and serve a greater purpose

Feeling the weight of stereotypes placed on them by society

Training devoutly for years in order to achieve an almost impossible goal they set for themselves, trying to right a wrong that was done

Horizontober Day 2: Scientific

Always been fond of the fact that Aloy's canonically a scientist in her own right :'3 Especially her clear fascination with the ember relics--thought she deserved to be able to have a closer look at them in her downtime.m

[ariadne-mouse]

i love as the dawn kisses the horizon so much :,) theyre so awkward and cute

Thank you so much! It's a sweet little ficlet I return to every New Year's, and I'm glad you enjoy it too. :)

Sorry I'm a little later responding, turns out drawing for every answer does add to the time required 😂

Every good party needs a hibiscus-shielded smooching corner:

Made my own Iterator OC, "Dawn Over the Horizon," aka Stretch. He modified his body to attempt to become tall enough to see past the ruins and toward natural light.

@mudkirby also drew them with her OCs!
