Sorry for the time it took to judge this one- I was mainly stuck between three forms, but all had amazingly creative and adorable -alike creatures to go with their owners!
Man, not being able to give hms/rus really kills I'll tell you that </3
So I'll start from the order I read the mentioned three in with my little blurbs just to keep things simple before announcing the winner.
I'd love to give little blurbs about every form- But sadly I'm not a very wordy person to begin with, and this is all I have time for ;o;albion.-Firstly, idk how you did the gif with the name ontop thing but stop that. I kept staring at it and barely even moved on for like three minutes >:TYour choice of pet/familiar rather caught me off guard at first, as I usually read forms from top to bottom, so I was very interested to see what made you pick such a creature. And theeeen I delved into your choice of personality. Your writing was short and sweet, unlike Xochi herself, but it left an imprint that remained well into the following day. The song you chose kinda lulled me into a haze almost, its hard to explain unless you're like me and just tired all the time, but I felt more awakened yet... unsafe? Which was a good feeling for your form! Saraf gives me a slinky creepy and unnerving kind of feeling, and I think it pairs almost
too well with Xochi. Also you got the bottle guess right, and for that I give you kudos LOL
lady lightwing.-Your gif was very delicate and pretty, setting me up to experience something dainty. Another unexpected pull into the direction of the anti-sweet team, you in particular are someone I didn't expect it from. Not sure why though .o. Erandur fit the sly and sneaky/manipulative look with Vaerminas personality really well- almost like the last puzzle piece to solidify your entire form~
The story snippet did what great authors do best- made me thirst for answers. Such as "Who is Ren?" and "What is his motivation?"
I still find myself leaning on these unanswered questions <3
I'm not very great at detailing story-feedback, I wish there was more I could form my thoughts into, Sorry! But I hope none the less my feedback is helpful!
trxnsient-Im just gonna dive right into it- The gif you chose seemed to mimic butterflies to me, on top of the already gorgeous flower aesthetic. The Daughters, as a three-in-one-pet, made me attached to this form just by their looks alone before I even got to reading Euanthes personality, as in my dreams I have a sort of weasel familiar that they really strongly remind me of.
(Heres a brief concept of him for reference xP) Though you didn't use the extra, this was still one of my favorite forms partially for that reason! The main reason would be the in-depth personality despite having such a tight word limit. You really dug in deep there and got as much character out of it as you could~
With that being said,
The critter and viscet duo that got me most in the end would have to be Saraf and Xochi, crowning albion. the winner >w<
Congratulations! I hope my rather short but hopefully helpful feedback pieces help you all in future contests and leave you all with something to enjoy from this contest, although sadly it cant be viscets ;w; Everyone did an amazing job and I hope to compete with you all in the future >xP
