The Brain dump

AMBEAR AND LEGS GIVE TWINS ENERGY.

They keep taking turns being the responsible one and the “I am in pain” and “I have issues” one.

The only student that Mr/Miss Professor calls by name is Legundo. I don't remember a time where Legs has gotten a nickname by the Professor other than saying he was a Keeper but I don't think he has called him strictly Keeper yet.

One reason for this may be that he/she knows it may be triggering for Legs if he/she were too. The Professor can read certain thoughts specifically surface thoughts. He/She may have picked up on the first few days that Legs was shocked hearing his own name and why. The why being how he little he was actually called by name by those around him and instead just called boy.

It's also important to note how dehumanized the past iron mages are in this context, too. We don't know anything about them except that the Keeper that Lysa spoke to was masculine. That's it.

We also know how much Legs doesn't want to be used again, doesn't want to be someone's tool or weapon, and how evident it is that he probably will.

but he's smiling

and they look at him. they give him a curious look, head tilted and eyebrow raised. and he just shrugs. chuckles a little despite himself. takes a deep breath and really, genuinely smiles

This lives in my head rent free, so I drew it. Teehee.

Close ups & textless under cut!

Please please please it would be so funny.

Tf! Legs: Uhm I think I'm male? Not really sure about sexuality.

Sausage: *Hugging him tight* Aw it's okay! We'll support you no matter what you know!

Tf! Legs: *Frozen* ...yeah some kind of not straight that's for sure.

Graecie: Oh blessed bells! Legs we'll love you any way you are.

Zam: Yeah...I don't really get sexuality but we'll support you.

Tf! Legs: *Squeaking* B-But maybe still a bit straight -!

(Meanwhile Bf! Legs watching this unfold through binoculars with V! Legs next to him.)

V! Legs: Sexuality? I mean I never really set it in stone, I like men, I like women, I like anyone in between, I guess I'm more attracted to messiness than anything it seems.

Bf! Legs: Mhm mhm. You're far too serious sometimes.

V! Legs: I don't have time to unpack my gender, I transitioned so I could enlist and I'm pretty happy as man. How about you, parcel elf?

Bf! Legs: Oh Darling I am far to invested in other people's relationships and gender to even think about my own. But seriously, these kids need to realise the way they all blush at each other. Like come on if someone had a crush on me that obviously I'd definitely have noticed by now!

V! Legs: Yes because you're really observant when it comes to the direction of things...
