It was rare for a werewolf to get sick. Apparently their immune systems went into overdrive, making them practically impervious to thinks like colds or even food poisoning.
Scorpius, as a half werewolf, was not so lucky.
He might have caught a virus at an event recently, and now his whole body felt heated, his chest congested enough that it was hard for him to breathe, and it was difficult to eat or drink because his throat felt so swollen. And he hated being stuck in bed, even with his parents and little sister pampering him.
He groaned a little at Hermione's words, the cold wet cloth on his forehead feeling like heaven against his flushed skin. "Is Matilda okay?" he asked. "I don't want her catching this."
achillean culture is thinking enby men are . very . um . neat . 😳 the more non-binary a man gets the more attractive they are tbh (as one of those myself.... that's like True Gay I think)
haechan thighs haechan thighs haechan thighs wanna ride them n have him make fun of me while i do it n wanna sit on his lap when he's sitting all slouchy with his legs spread
I would highly suggest you look into stereotypes like the magic albino and make sure you aren't hurtling towards it. Having albino rep is great and you can have characters who are albino and have magic, if you portray them correctly. But having a character be albino specifically because they have some magic power and their albinism is a byproduct/physical representation of that? Not great. I'd also be wary of associating goodness with whiteness and evil with darkness. In general, you should really look at the Writing with Color tumblr blog and checking out their resources and posts about albinism and color symbolism.
Oh yeah, for sure. As I said, I haven't put too much thought on this yet, so I definitively would need a lot more research before actually deciding. I am vaguely aware of the magic albino character stereotype which is why this is very much a tentative maybe for me.
I do want to say, though. That if Orion were to be Albino, this would have 0 relation to the fact he was blessed for Father Time. I did mention that I was toying with Orion having white hair if he is customizable, but by white hair I don't mean "anime white" more "gone white with age" sort of hair but even that isn't set. So far, none of the blessings have any physical characteristics, and the only reason I would add this to customizable Orion is to make coding easier.
An Orion with albinism would have been albino before he got his blessing and didn't receive his blessing due to it. The two factors would be unrelated. Still, I would need to do more research before I decide it.
And I probably check myself on the dark/white dichotomy too, because the whole basis of the blessings in Off Script is to try to subvert those tropes so if ended up reinforcing them somewhere else it would be a moot point. I tried to make it obvious with the whole "Carmen's and the Villain's Blessings are basically the same just look differently" kind of thing, but I can see where you are coming from.
Actually, I can definitively see how it would be a bad place to reinforce things since it would imply that the white/black dichotomy took place in the original video game since Orion helped defeat the Villain.
Hey, your brain loves you 💕 It's trying to look after you when you start feeling anxiety at random times. Your subconscious is so smart, it picks up patterns in places you'd never realise! Its not very helpful in modern times but anxiety attacks used to be real good at getting us out of danger. Your brain is trying it's best, it just messes up sometimes. Self compassion includes feeling compassion for your organs as separate parts and it's so good for your brain health ❤️ Your frustration is totally valid tho friend, I've been there
ty, anon. i appreciate the validation, and welcome it with open arms.
