💧for lyra 🔹for Akysa 🔵 for Samson (give me allllll the pain)
💧what’s the worst pain your oc has ever been in? mental or physical? what was the cause of this? oh boy, where do i begin? lyra definitely has been through plenty of mental and physical pain, but i’ll do one of each since i’m feeling very angsty in this chili’s tonight. the worst mental pain was definitely caused by her father, janus. he is very manipulative, controlling, and extremely superficial. he has a quick temper, which he takes out on everyone in the family except for himself. there isn’t really an exact scene i have in mind for mental pain since it’s a process of it being built up for years, but the night samson and lyra left their home is definitely a big moment for both of them. i would say that’s the worst mental and physical pain for samson, actually. it’s a v rough night. physical pain for lyra,,, so this hasn’t been talked about on tumblr yet,,, but the night after lily and james’ death,,,, janus decides to pay lyra a visit and let’s just say that the night ends very bloody, sad, and a tragic parallel to what happens in the death hollows :)
🔷 has your oc ever had to leave something behind or abandon something they didn’t want to? have they ever had this happen to them? how has this effected them over the years? akysa,,, my angry bb,,, after order 66 disregarded her signature red lightsaber. it signified her time as a sith and the damage, pain, and suffering she’s caused while being manipulated by palpatine ever since he found her. i thought about her purifying her kyber crytals, but i decided against it because the crystals no longer belonged to her since she changed her allegiance and followed her own path as neither a sith or jedi. it took her a while to accept herself basically being “reborn” and the constant reminder of the hurt was getting in the way of the path she wanted to reach. so getting rid of them was a big part of the healing process and she’s definitely better off without them.
🔵 has your oc lived through any particularly traumatic events? does this event (or events) still effect them or have they tried to bury it? is there a reason why this event is so traumatic for them? my first thought was the john mulaney quote “now we don’t have time to unpack aLL OF THAT” but here i am doing so. my poor son samson goes through the ringer and he doesn’t deserve any of it. sadly, he has lived through one too many traumatic events so i’m just gonna name them. first, getting sorted into ravenclaw and bearing his father’s disappointment, torturing himself to become an animagus to please his father, literally had the cruciatus curse performed on him bY HIS OWN FATHER, the death of dorcas meadowes, witnessed the aftermath of what happened with lyra the night after halloween, and,,, we cannot forget,,, seeing lyra and remus’ dead bodies during the battle of hogwarts. it definitely effects him greatly, like poor guy cannot catch a fucking break. he is the last living member of his family and he never wanted to be, like jfc i really need to give him more happiness bc he suffers so much.
