I am so tickled at the idea that Sancho, after drinking from Oblivion, blearily did some hardblood arts to lock herself into the lighthouse and never thought about it again. So many things happened in the lighthouse that absolutely wouldnāt have made sense to a humanās sense of time or needs, but being a Bloodfiend who doesnāt really know exactly how much time is passing, she never felt the need to bring it up!
For example, watching time pass while writing to decades-old Fixer publications and getting letters back from the very same. I heard somewhere that Sancho was actually aware of the Cinq Association first being founded, which may or may not have come with its own publications. These figures were immortalized in print and Sancho likely continued to see their letters long after the average human would have fallen to obscurity. Not that she knows that.
Logistically, Sancho wouldnāt have been getting food or water deliveries considering that she and āthe fixersā have been exchanging letters though a small gap in her hardblood door and her ensuing brainrot would sate her bloodthirst. This, she does not mention to any of the sinners becauseā
Itās not like she was hungry (she does this in her Lantern EGO too, commenting that sheās taking her lunch because her suit is hungry)
āand I think thatās comedy gold.
The idea that Sancho, henceforth known as Don Quixote, just casually did hardblood weaving and other immortal behaviors because the habit is just ingrained in her body without ever questioning why nobody else did it and therefore never catching on that no, sheās not normal, actually is the funniest thing.
Speaking of her name ā I need to double check how she signed her letters ā if I remember correctly, she only āfound outā her name was Don Quixote by the writing on Rocinanteās sole. In an alternate universe, we might have been looking at LCB Sinner #3 Rocinante insteadā¦
Now we combine all of that into her being utterly clueless about not being human because she lacked other common Bloodfiend features such as MDDABB (Major Depressive Disorder Abated By Blood) and my favorite ironies are being scratched. Love that soggy beast.
Lastly, to address her sog, my dumb ass finally connected that this sequence is probably Sancho first entering the lighthouse. In short, she deflated over time. Rest in peace. She never did her hair again.
