I HATE MY BRAIN! I WAS LISTENING TO SOME STUFF AFTER REREADING A BIT OF GE AND NOW ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS:
"what is Tobias WAS a demon...?"
I'm digging a grave for myself, but:
DEMON AU!
Tobias is either born with the curse or isn't even cursed, he's literally a demon child who isn't aware he's a demon.
Mr. Edburt? No, he's not his father. I wouldn't go that far...it would be interesting tho...hm...BUT NO! I was thinking he'd be a mintor? I'm pretty sure he's the "prince" from Tobias' weird episode at Rudy's house when everything was still alright between them, since Tobias was definitely saying something about Lady Keraba, and Edward (Mr. Edburt) of course loved Lady Keraba, and would never get with a mortal (Suzie in this case), so...yeah, not father.
Tobias is born with the ghostly, dead eyes. He smells like a rotten corpse (the sweet smelling stage, which I saw someone headcanon and I Fully agree). He was supposed to be still born like Gunther and Kaitlyn, but the demons looked into his future and saw his potential for mayhem and chaos and cursed him with their blood...?
So he died in birth but lived by the cursed power now running through him, and that's why he can see Mr. Edburt. He's like the "angel" that saved Lucas when he and Luther were 8/9 in the car accident- saving the Schneien child from death and the only one who can see him.
His mind is more chaotic. He has powers of his own, but Mr. Edburt makes them even stronger. So when he possesses Tobias, it's not HIS power, it's TOBIAS using a bit more of his power (yes, I will make Tobias OP. Let him burn down the world in blue flames, climate change does that already)
So yeah....thoughts??? I continue..???
