#ill think of one and am open to suggestions 💀

[brighteyedbushybrowed]

Hi! Love your headcanons, I was wondering if you could do Copia or Terzo headcanons for a chronically ill reader (masculine or gn works) who has vasovagal syncope? I usually get small episodes of it if I stand for too long 💀

Have to get a brain MRI done soon for it and am hoping this will cheer me up before it gets done. Thank you! 💕

Hi!!! Apologies for not getting to this one sooner, I hope you see this before your MRI and if not then hopefully it will be a lovely read for afterwards <3 Part of taking so long was my own chronic illness flare up (shaking my fist at my bowels like a villain) and partly because I wanted to read up on vasovagal syncope before writing so that I could hopefully do your request justice. Hope I've done a good job!! Also I hope the MRI goes/went well for you!

I think Terzo would probably already be aware of it before you get together

He's someone who is very open about his own health and any conditions he may have, and he wants to make sure he can support you in any way he can as well as show you that he's willing to listen if you wanna talk about your condition

When you tell him you have vasovagal syncope, he doesn't make a big deal or fuss about it

He does as much research as he can, including asking the infirmary staff about it and borrowing medical journals from the Ministry archive

He becomes very accustomed with the symptoms so that he can help you out and support you when you're about to have or are having an episode

Terzo will insist that you sit down for half an hour after you have a vasovagal episode, even if you try to tell him you're feeling better. He's not going to risk you getting up too soon afterwards and having another episode. He also makes sure your head is between your legs while you recover from an episode and will stick by your side regardless of whether you tell him to go to a meeting he's late for or not

He's very good at spotting when an episode is coming on and is well acquainted with the situations that are likely to trigger one

He'll make sure you're sitting down, will get a cool flannel to apply to your forehead when you get too hot, carries around ginger biscuits everywhere he goes with you to help combat your nausea (something that Primo suggested as he carries them around for his ghouls who get nauseous very quickly). Terzo can't always catch when you're about to have an episode, such as if you accidentally see blood or he's lost track of time and left you standing too long, but he does his best to help you through an episode whenever it happens

Attends any hospital or doctor appointments you have relating to your condition so that he can be kept up to speed and support you the best he can

Copia does worry a little when you experience an episode in front of him for the first time

However, he has a general idea of what to do and makes sure that you don't try to get up until at least 15 minutes has passed because he wants you to be safe

Once you explain to him what vasovagal syncope is, he also does his own reading and research on the condition because he wants to know as much as possible and doesn't want to put the onus on you to educate him when he can educate himself

He carries anti-sickness tablets with him and also shows you the acupressure point to apply pressure to in order to reduce pain and nausea if he has no tablets on hand

He does his best to always make sure that you're calm and don't have to witness anything like blood or bodily harm or anything else that could trigger a vasovagal episode

Copia also carries around one of those mini battery powered hand fans with him when it's warm outside or in the abbey so that you have a way to cool off when you start getting too hot

Will sit down with you whenever you need him to and reassures you that he doesn't mine sitting down and taking as long as you need to rest. Your health and wellbeing is his top priority and he wants to be someone that you can depend upon when you need to

Rubs your back while you sit with your head between your legs and if you need a distraction he's more than happy to talk about anything and everything until you're ready to go again. Will also make sure that you have your feet elevated when you lay down if you're able to

He won't force himself into the doctors' office with you during appointments, but he promises to sit in with you if you want him to. If you don't want him in the room with you, he'll sit outside as close to the room as he can so that he can still support you
