These are such lovely snapshots! I particularly liked Osse's observations of bioluminescence in the deeps--Starlight would never reach them, so instead they had created their own. That's a wonderful line!

I like how there is both a clear difference in mood between the Osse and Uinen pieces, but also somehow a shared angle: the appreciation of wild nature.

They really complement each other very well and I like your descriptions.

Ahh! So Lovely! And I relate very much to both of them, Ossë enjoying the deeper, more unusual places, and being somewhat misunderstood, his manner of expressing his delight being rather scarey for some. And, like Uinen, I like my gardens untended and wild. This is beautiful, thank you!

Not going to lie, I think deep sea fish are some of the creepiest looking animals in existence, but they are also so fascinating and cool for being able to survive at those depths. I definitely learnt a lot on the Wikipedia deep dive I did for this fic! Uinen's gardens are more my speed 😅
Anyway, thank you so much for the comment, and congrats on blacking out that Bingo card!
