ok I hear the Scott Boralith narcolepsy headcanon and I LOVE IT, but I’d like to introduce a Scott Boralith with chronic awful nosebleeds!
this is projecting, absolutely, because the trauma characters can obtain from nosebleeds is wild and I knowwww it’ll mess you up if it gets bad enough.
Mine are bad. Like I’m waking up with my pillow literally covered in blood bad, gone to the doctor with no success multiple times bad, constantly have a spare shirt bad, constantly prepared bad, lightheaded bad. Which sucks. And it makes me panic a lot. Like the sight of a lot of blood already sucks for me but when I get the feeling of a nosebleed my instinctual reaction is to lean my head BACK which is the exact opposite of what you should do because then it goes down your throat and it’s kind of acidic so it kinda burns your throat then you have to cough it up. It’s a whole thing.
a whole thing that leads to constant anxiety.
I had one of these super bad ones the other day and had to go to a doctor for it but I was watching the first day vods while I was there and the idea is that Scott’s had these types of nosebleeds for a long time and if he’s not ready for it or unprepared in any way, it stresses him tf out, possibly to a panic attack. If him and Pyro have known each other for pretty much their entire lives then they prob know how to comfort each other and help each other, I know my friends have learned ways to help make me feel more comfortable during this, so Pyro’s def done the same.
but it’s still hella worrying to see because you’re looking at your best friend covered in far more blood than you’re used to and they’re panicking and you know how to help them. It gets better with time but what would it be like the first time Scott got one of these at the academy after the reunion? these nosebleeds happen legit everywhere, not just in mornings. I’ve had them happen all over the place and it can happen with or without warning so imagine Shelby looking over to Scott like in class or smth and blood starts dripping down his face and he doesn’t even notice until you start panicking. then with cpk being erased and magic being corrupted and these stories being shared about their past lives? There’s fear in the air.
idk, I think there’s potential here
