hello there!! i absolutely adore your writing and understanding of the court gremlins! thank you so much for all your wonderful work ✨ i’m curious under which circumstances would the courtiers want their humanity back? would they feel remorse for their actions?? (would Vulgora still be a bunch of beetles..?) what impact will their newfound humanity have on them? how drastic would be the changes to their body and mind? MC would definitely stay by their side and help them through this tho💕
Hey, thank you for your compliments it's so cute i'm melting 😭
Volta absolutely wants her humanity back, she was famished when she made her deal with the devil and he tricked her into making her believe life would be easier, but she has been nothing but miserable since she became a demon
when she gets her humanity back, she still eats a lot but she can actually fill her stomach, she isn't as hungry as she used to be
she is so grateful that you are with her, she becomes softer than before, and she feels extremely guilty for the things she did as a demon but she didn't have much of a choice
Oh, Valdemar has been gone for so long that they don't even remember what proper feelings and human emotions are
They, under no circumstances, want to become human again, for human are so very breakable
if they regain their humanity.... They're gonna freak out, the first feeling they remember is fear : they are terrified
They are weak now. What will happen to them ? Surely they will die, they cannot keep doing their experiments on patients as they actually can get ill too
They start remembering their past life but they shut it out, the memories are way too painful and they do not want that
Their personality doesn't change much, but since their looks changed, they are aware they're not as scary as they used to be
Their hair is the same dirty blond but their skin becomes a healthy tan, bronze color and their eyes are dark brown, almost black. The fangs are gone, replaced by normal, flat teeth
they'll cling to you and refuse to leave the dungeons without you
They hate this, they want to make new deals
If you plan to help them : Great. If you don't... well, they'll have to do it behind you back
Their eyes are a bit darker, looking more amber than pure yellow
they're still the same though. You can chase hell out of Vulgora but you can't chase rage
You'll need to carefully remind them that they're not as strong and untouchable as they used to be : they hate it, they want to set this world on fire
and no, they're not a swarm of beetles anymore
They want to FIGHT and they WILL
If you wanna help them you can tell them to see their new condition as a challenge, you train with them so they can get stronger, hopefully as much as they can as a human
turns out that after their time as a demon they can use magic ? You manage to teach them a few tricks and that makes them feel better, more powerful
as long as you're here to help them, they'll be fine
He is wailing when you find him, hair gray and balding, his yellow eyes full of tears
he saw his Wyrm form as beautiful, perfect, the achievement of his life
upon losing said achievement he isn't exactly well
he doesn't feel bad for what he did, he was perfectly conscious of what he was doing but he is terrified of mortality
he is terrified of dying and leaving his worms behind, hell, he is terrified of leaving you behind
you'll have to ground him, act as an anchor, remind him that in your eyes he is still dear to you, demon or human, and that if he keeps worrying he'll go bald for real
it's gonna take time but he'll end up accepting this life
