cough up the galleons stranger I’ve got Brig repairs to pay for

This is very peak, and I love everything about it. From the outfits and poses that all speak to their individual characters, to the headlines being absolutely on brand. It’s all immaculate.

Alright now time for random headcanon drabbles because I like being a contrarian

I don’t think Morden would smell like decay, personally when I think of the smell of Death like personifications I don’t think rot. Because, rot isn’t death, it’s something that happens after death. Death or Thanatos or Morden smell like grave soil and the stagnant air of a mausoleum. It’s cold and faintly metallic with an over powering smell of rich soil. Is this anything? (Probably should’ve made this its own topic.)

okay now give us the full magazine :smiling_imp:

I actually think it depends on the perception of the user of the curse, as the curse itself isn’t exactly as concrete as an elemental curse, it follows more of a natural concept. Seeing how at the moment Morden seems to fear the power that he currently has access to, I think he would associate it with the negative aspects of death before thinking of anything else, and the curse might reflect that.

That being said, I was moreso referring to that time he found the curse because it smelled rancid there LOL

pay me 50 dollars and I gotchu

That’s actually a really interesting idea, that your physical appearance or senses could change based on you relationship to your curse. So someone who thinks of death as simply another step in a journey or as a peaceful oblivion would smell like a mausoleum or grave yard, while someone like Morden who fears death for the destruction and decay it causes would smell like how they perceive it… Hmm, more things to think about when writing fics.
