All Rumi does is FEEL but she was also taught to repress literally every part of her identity, feelings/emotions, and abnormal (read: demon) characteristics…
So, while demons do feel everything (way more than the average person), Rumi doesn’t register anything as a problem unless it’s life threatening or long lasting.
Like sure Rumi was lightly (read: terribly) concussed and had crazy nausea but was it going to kill her anytime soon? Could she reasonably accommodate it w/o realizing she was accommodating it?? Therefore, she was fine (according to Rumi anyway).
Zoemira (shortly after the idol awards) realize that Rumi isn’t always trying to downplay her injuries or feelings. It’s just that her internal sense of pain (and subsequently other things) had a very fucked up scale.
Yes, she had a near blinding headache when they were performing that one time but she COULD still dance and sing. Like she literally already did it… so what if she threw up as soon as she got backstage. Happy Fans, Happy Honmoon, right?
*Cue the unimpressed look that Zoemira share and then level at Rumi*
And the problem with an issue like this is that 1) a person (who may or may not still think they’re lucky that the loves of their life didn’t kill them) has to recognize it as a problem 2) that same person has to recalibrate their own internal senses 3) that person has to actually listen when those same senses are blaring the alarm.
This reason, more than any other, is why Huntr/x (read: mostly Rumi tbh cause she still doesn’t know what relaxing is) takes such a long break from work - approximately a year.
Rumi’s autism and self-repression has led to terrible interoception and gives her a very valid excuse for not taking care of herself as well as she takes care of her girls.
