HELLO !! okay first of all love ur name, my main character is called cas so that's a big fun. second of all, please please PLEASE tell me more about this died-in-their-arms-and-then-got-reincarnated thing what the FUCK that is SO heartbreaking and SO incredible and oh my g o d. tell me all the things pls and ty
Thank u so much i picked it myself <3 one of my favorite things ever is having people come in and tell me their oc is named cas i lose my mind every time like HOLY SHIT TWINS
Holy shit I NEVER get to talk about this so let's break it down from the start.
Oh and uh suicide tw for the masses ig.
On the right is Azazel, or Seraphiel.
These two, while alive, were sapphic.
Update: it's been like 4 days since I originally looked at this. It is 11 pm. We are going for it
Cou and sera while alive were in a sapphic relationship in 18th century France in a mental asylum as two teen girls. The asylum was run by Cou's parents and Sera was a patient which was how they met. Yadda yadda commentary on how queer identities have been treated as a mental illness and the demonization of mental illness in general, yadda yadda, the two of them hatched a plan to escape and burn the place down after freeing everyone but eventually failed and it lead to Sera taking a bullet to the head while Cou held the gun. (No, he did not pull the trigger. It was forced <3) Cou, horrified at this, shot the 2 lead doctors, shot himself, and then also ended up dead.
Both of their souls were reincarnated in the spiritual realm, but Cou was a man, Sera was non-binary, and they were on opposite ends of existence- with Sera in heaven, and Cou in hell.
Sera remembers things about their past life but has no idea what they are. It mostly comes up in dreams, distressing ones, and they're fucked up about it but they don't understand why. They're completely separated from their memories of actually living so they have no idea what's going on.
Cou on the other hand, remembers everything. Perfectly clearly. Could tell you almost exactly what happened and knows why he's haunted by it.
So when they find each other, Cou knows who Sera is but Sera has no idea who Cou is and frankly they're a little scared about it. Cou didn't understand why the love of his life wasn't happy to see him and Sera didn't understand why some random demon was talking to them like he knew them
As for WHY specifically their ability to recall is so different, is a rant I will save for another time if you're interested, but yeah! Welcome to my tragic yuri turned devastatingly haunting queer horror story <3
