2006 half-vamp Abolish goes through a packet of gum a day because it's not that he doesn't have fangs, they've just never fully grown in (and never will). So he's stuck with teething pain (although not piercing through gum, so it's less bad) 24/7 and will explode if he's not constantly chewing to distract himself
the fact that tf!Pyro is named the way they are is so fascinating bc like. ofc it's the gamertag abbreviated into something resembling a name, but it ties into his backstory so well. Like he was meant to be the next bearer of the Folk Flame, whatever that is, and from that we can infer that his parents knew that. Their little sister is also named Igna(or some homonym) which is literally fire. Their parents named BOTH OF THEM directly after the sacred fire. Which brings up a lot of meat around why Pyro chose to leave Tegrith in the first place. They had to be so much expectations placed on them because of their status as the next bearer. So much weight he never asked for, weight he didn't even want, more drawn towards knowledge and freedom he could never get from taking on the Flame. What do you do in that situation? Of course their leaving would be seen as cowardice and fleeing from their responsability, because the expectations were so high
Tf!majorscythe is already so dear to me man. I like to think Pyro didn't run away from his responsibilities as the next folk flame keeper or whatnot more than he ran away from the suffocating weight of the expectations placed on him and what they meant for his future, likely staying in the small town for the rest of his life . But of course Scott would rather frame it as cowardice, because being a nobody's child adopted into this town, he would never understand why anyone would leave it or their family behind. And Scott, despite being born a nobody, is everything Pyro should've been, everything they could never bring themselves to be, and seeing him now growing into the hole Pyro left behind has to fucking HURT, man.
I'm absolutely enamoured by the idea of v!Scott's 'I'm a good guy now' agreement with v!Abolish including having to wear silver jewelry to ensure that he stays at level 1. And of course he doesn't respect that, because that's kinda boring, so his necklaces and bracelets always end up 'getting caught' on something or slipping off, oops!
And then Abolish gets fed up and shows up one day with a choker. It looks like normal black fabric from the outside but the inside is lined with silver strips. It's genius because 1) It's basically impossible to hide not wearing it, 2) It's basically impossible to pretend to have lost/broken it, and 3) Since the closure is also silver, it's impossible to get off if Scott hits level 2 without first being weak enough for it not to burn anymore, at which point it's done it's job keeping him level 1.
And Scott is like 'wtf I'm not a dog', to which Abolish responds with something to the likes of 'maybe if you didn't slip your leash so often, you wouldn't need a prong', idk. Scott would absolutely despise the thing, despite how many objectively banger outfits he can make with it.
Emberfrost having body temps matching with their powers (pyro runs hit and scott is cold) is fun and all that, but knowing thermodynamics it should actually be the other way around (as much as chemistry still holds in the land of magic and dragons) and idk. The guy who can summon fire always being cold and the guy with ice powers being a walking space heater is infinitely funnier to me
New idea: where vampires lose there memories when they turn (like in catsafari's amazing tabula rasa au, where the only way to get them back is to drink the blood of those who knew you), it's only fair that they also lose their memories of being a vampire when they're cured, no? So all that's left of them is who they were before.
Now imagine, if you will, Owen, deciding to choose curing over death by some twist of fate (maybe as one last act to spite the doctor, letting his rage win over his need for oblivion; it's easier to die as a human anyway). The last things he remembers is Louis putting him to sleep, promising to be at his side when he wakes up. But he's standing at a tower, and there's someone he doesn't know next to him decked out in silver armour shield in hand, and the first thing Owen can ask (the only thing he can think about, really) is "Where's Louis?"
How much do you think Abolish would tell him, in that moment? He'd have to explain the vampirism, of course, how they've been trapped here for months now, that Louis' gone, but does he tell Owen of the pyre? Does he tell Owen that it's been 200 years? Does Abolish tell Owen that he's the reason Oakhurst is in ruins, that no one's dared settle in again?
with the headcanon of v!Abolish repressing his emotions to make himself more capable at his job/not letting the trauma get to him I do think that the vampires drinking his blood wouldn't be able to get even a smidge of memories from it. Guy so internally repressed that no one can read his mind ever because it's basically a brick wall that he built specifically to never be able to break himself
V!Abolish with anger issues.
Abolish who's trying soooo hard to be passive in every combat-related encounter because he doesn't want to get lost in in the red. Abolish who trains combat techniques as a controlled way to deal with his violence and because he knows when he inevitably breaks - he can't break. Thats why the moment with Apo at the tower wasn't just an annoyance but a breaking(glass) point; he was genuinely going to hurt her if he didn't get out of there NOW. Taking it out on the ores instead with way too much force, trying to talk himself back to calm.
And Legs who's now doubly concerned for him, because as impressive as Abolish's calm facade is, the moment it goes - if it ever goes - is going to be disastrous; he's seen it happen before, men in the military with nothing more to lose.
Abolish who won't ever let himself get past stage one if he was turned because hes *seen* what it did to Pyro and Avid and Shelby and so many of his friends too. He knows the violence will win, and he just can't let it. He needs the silver on his body to keep himself in check.
