#Doodles #SCII #NEJ #Captain Sterling #All NEJ this time around! Well and Sterling but he's always invited lol being Captain has some advantages #I feel like when I first made NEJ I tried to make something similar to that first image but couldn't manage it? :0 I don't really rememeber #I'm not finding any indication of such so I must've just thought about it really hard lol - technically I didn't successfully draw it! Lol #Happy it exists now tho :D #NEJ loves his plants <3 I mean that was part of why he was exiled lol - not for anything indecent he just likes plants more than other VUX #He's more of a romantic in that sense lol #But now he gets to spend all his time around plants! And ZEX doesn't have to worry about vetting for safe environments/food! Win-win! #He's also pro-ZEX so that didn't help his case - he doesn't hate humans but he doesn't like them either #Although he can only deal with VUX about double what he can with humans haha poor lad #He's got some mild-ish scopophobia and general dislike of social interactions - he was shunned for a while before getting the boot #But now he's got a job with plants he loves and a tinted-lense mask that helps soothe him! Got it made in the sun ♪ #He does still get picked on tho haha <3 Spending all that time alone has corroded what little social skills he had to begin with #Jokes are definitely not his forte but he tries he's a good lad :) #Would VUX even breathe CO2 would them talking to an Earthen plant do anything lol #It's probably for the best he kept his mask on haha #Pollen season comes around and NEJ is pink and puffy but also very happy lol
