IM BEGGING ON MY HANDS AND KNEES FOR YOU TO TELL YOUR LUCY PARROT HCS🙏🙏

OITJDRH I DIDNT EXPECT ANYONE TO ACTUALLY CARE BUT HERE YOU GO!!

so, originally it started out as just a visual prop of sorts for the piece, since i really like lorikeets and handle them a lot, theyre lovely little guys with kinda freaky parrot eyes (tbh most parrots have freaky eyes) so i thought itd be a nice subject for an elias focused piece

but the more i thought about the more i got reeaally attached to the idea of the lori actually exsisting and mainly staying in the archives so he kinda turned into what i guess you could consider an oc LMAO.

anyways, this is lucius , lucy for short (yes og!elias named his bird after a stoicist)

my idea was that it was og!elias’ pet parrot, i thought itd be a good way to show his eccentricism as wealthy people are sometimes shown owning expensive tropical birds in pop culture (loris are australian but besides that, somewhat expensive bird)

jonah ends up keeping the little guy after overtaking elias’ body and grows fond of him, so he becomes a bit of a surveilance bird, not neccessarily needed to get closer look at things, but might as well put him to use -> lucy gets marked by the eye too i guess??

he hangs out in the archives creeping around a lot, but most of the staff just thinks its some weird mass hallucination and when jon brings up the bird hanging out in his office the others just accidentally gaslight him about it saying its just some weird effect of the archives no one knows why

its very affectionate towards jon specifically as hes the archivist, only being more affectionate towards elias himself obvs, he really doesnt like martin tho…

i have more to say cuz i thought of little scenarios but dont wanna make this ramble even Longer LMAO
