how can ppl say cats are heartless tbh
hey op i understand where youre coming from and your perspective is valuable. but like. could you validate me🥺🫶
thinking about eyes in outfished. how they’re some of the first things to change about a person when they start growing in power (or otherwise experience other changes in their capacity for magic). how they’re a very visible marker that you’ve become something a little other (though still human. there’s a long way to go before you lose that). (do cosmetic contacts become more popular? food for thought.) sometimes the changes will start spilling over into hair, and maybe even become markings on skin, though that’s usually for extreme cases (or cases where this is explicitly part of the mechanism by which the user accesses magic)
on the other hand, the most dangerous ones tend to also be very normal looking… though appearance should never be the only thing used to judge someone’s threat level
anyways i need to get freakier with the eye designs. more unusual pupil shapes. more irregular iris patterns. more playing around with the sclera.
i don't care if it's nazis, mormons, or a bunch of misguided autistic people. if anyone ever tries to tell you your soul is from another planet and you're actually part of the class of impressive people that secretly did everything cool in the world but is now extinct and lives on through your broken genome, you RUN. YOU WILL RUN AWAY. YOU WILL SPRINT FULL SPEED AWAY FROM THAT.
Top surgery recovery has involved an onslaught of emotions that I'm still figuring out how to express, but this grief was not something I anticipated would be part of it.
call my bed an ashtray the way there's fags in there
