Experience Tumblr like never before
The scaraether dynamic i want is one where they don’t make each other worse, but they most definitely don’t make each other better. But if they do, its going in directions that definitely doesn’t benefit others around themselves.
Like Aether being an eldritch horror thats potentially a world eater getting courted by Wanderer, who is a living puppet.
Aether reluctantly charmed by Wanderer’s obsession, trying to go “This isn’t healthy for either of us, and is not a good standard for relationships” and it’s true.
But he’s unable to stop himself from being drawn to Wanderer’s promises, the concept of someone that’s just for himself.
Someone who would make him a priority with their own volition. Someone who doesn’t have other attachments that would stop them from helping him when he needs it. Someone who won’t abandon him. Someone who will willingly make themselves a permanent fixture by his side. (Paimon is also that, but she’s more like his child, someone he needs to nurture and also hide terrible things from).
Basically Wanderer being “I can be the hero to your damsel in distress.”
And Aether realizing he really doesn’t mind being a damsel in distress if its Wanderer who saves him.
Thanks to the Irminsul they can have a mental link, and when Aether gets trapped by the Fatui, truly put in a helpless situation, Paimon trapped in a seperate cage, he finds himself reaching out to the Wanderer almost blindly, numbly.
And the Wanderer abandons everything almost immediately to rescue him. He doesn’t keep him waiting.
inspired by the wanderer's idle emotion which is just the most beautiful little smile ever.
quick doodle of that one part in the fic that i deliberately just implied so heres some more food for the imagination
(said fic is a scaraether pop punk/band au i wrote lol)
i continue to rot my brain with these templates. consider checking out @/otp_memes on twt where they posted every template and also linked all the creators!
aether and the wanderer had a fairly long path to being very happy and teeth rotting sweet so don't let all negative stuff deceive you, they will solve their problems and become problematic in their own, unique way end up very trusting and loving every aspect of each other. :3c
also i dunno what happened the wanderer should be further into the evil doer in the last one lol.
