#cauterize

HEMOPHOBIA:

• My hemophobia propaganda is that my Apo mii has a crush on my Avid mii so basically it’s real and true

• cauterize is definitely peak when you consider the possibilities, but hemophobia is compelling even solely on the grounds of their canon dynamic. Apo genuinely cared about Avid, even had faith in him (“I thought Avid was the most human of all of them”) and the way that care is forced to rot and then bleed is tragic and so, so compelling. If things had gone just ever so slightly differently…

CAUTERIZE:

• Kinda feels like a less doomed bloodletting to me. If they had had more of a relationship from the start or if Pyro had put his trust in Legs with the whole cure thing I think they could have been really healing to eachother (pun intended). Like Pyro might have snapped out of it if he had had someone who told him that he wasn't a monster and maybe he could have gotten Legs to see some good in himself too. Just realized these two freaks are gonna live rent free in my head now and there aren't even a lot of fics about them. So please let them win so people write about them more. I need this for my sanity

Their name is Remember. They dive to the bottom of the pool on days where it stretches endlessly. It is not advised to comment on their lack of breath, nor the gills lining their throat. Student and Fair Folk alike are pulled from the depths at no cost, with some even still alive. Their eyes are glassy and focus with too much precision for someone who cannot see.

Their name is Crashing Waterfall. They enter fairy circles and exit with students missing for hours, days, years. The Fair Folk do not deal lightly, but they take care of changelings and the…unusual staff and students in payment. They can be relied on to work out deals and conflicts with the Gentry.

Their name is nothing, and they change by the day. Follow the forget-me-nots, and don’t look into their eyes for long. You won’t like what’s reflected in them.

Their name is everything, and they are a groundskeeper. They see without sight and protect their students. Do not anger them. Do not fear them. You are safe.
