I just love the idea of Aloy, Beta and Lis being these amazingly smart and badass woman that could probably take over the world if they wanted to but put a pretty girl in front of them *cough* Varga/Gaia/Talanah/Alva/Fedara *cough* and you can visibly watch thier brains shirt circuit and ooze out thier ears

Summary:
Beta accompanies Alva and Aloy to Quen lands to reactivate Leviathan. As if dealing with Aloy’s departure, hostile Quen, learning to override machines, and inscrutable pre-Plague technology wasn’t enough, she has to hide her affection for Alva and cope with meeting Federa. But when an unexpected change in Quen politics threatens to shatter everything, Beta and Federa must join forces to save Alva, Leviathan and the Quen. Will their alliance remain temporary, or grow into something deeper?
I didn't realize you were also Robinpixels! I've been been following that account and this one for a few years now and had no idea! You rock!
((hehe, yep that's me!! asdlk;fjsadklf maybe I should've linked the two accounts sooner, but then again I'm pretty sure I did and the links just don't show up on mobile otl so i apologize for that ;o;
HOW DID I NOT PUT THE DOTS TOGETHER UNTIL NOW IM SUCH AN IDIOT 😭😭
I was like “wow projectanotherdawn and robinpixels are my two favorite horizon artists!! and their art styles are so similar too!!” And then I thought about it real hard for a moment and gasped out loud
anyway forgive me. love ya though 😂😂
((ABFBSNFJSJFJDHD yeah it's me!! I used to have a much messier sketch vibe to P:AD for the feel it gave and how fast it made answers, so the resemblance may have been a lil less clear then!
And aha don't worry, I have the memory and object permanence of a goldfish myself at times so I can hardly fault you for missing the connection XD Thank you so much!! 💕💖))
I have this image in my head, that anytime Aloy stays up to late, Varga just picks her up like a sack of potatoes and carries her to bed, with Aloy just blushing as red as her hair the ENTIRE time.
VARGA: I'm not over at her place all the time but--
VARGA: When I am--only way I can get her to rest sometimes, aha!
