Ok, But Imagine The Angst Of Kyborgs Parents Dying On His Birthday And Him Never Celebrating It Again

Ok, but imagine the angst of Kyborgs parents dying on his birthday and him never celebrating it again because it just reminds him of another year he lived without his family. But then he meets the rest of the interns and doesn’t tell him that his family died on his birthday because even though he tells people a lot of his trauma, I don’t think he likes to mention specifics because that’s to personal and at least in the beginning he doesn’t want to get attached to them because he’s afraid of losing people since everyone he’d loved died. But the infinites, specifically Gum Gum keep asking when it was so they could celebrate and he finally got fed up with being asked when his birthday was (and having to rember what happened the last time he celebrated his birthday) and told them why he didn’t celebrate his birthday, and they were really nice about it, and while he never celebrated his birthday properly again, he did get over some of the sadness and it was just a kind of a more emotional day for him that he spends remembering his family.

I know someone has probably said this before, but Kyborg definitely has chronic pain. He probably just hurt himself while he was in the everwinter woods and never really fixed it or he didn’t eat enough of some kind of food and got really bad headaches.

He wouldn’t know he had it though, he would just think that everyone is in pain everyday and be really surprised when Bart or Mudd healed him and they asked him if he was in pain and he went told them he was, but it was fine because he was always at this level and it was manageable.

(What I think that conversation would look like because I don’t know how much sense it made in paragraph form)

Bart: “Hey buddy, how are you feeling, you got pretty hurt after you fell out of that tree, but I tried to heal you up. Tell me if you’re still in any pain though, and I’ll try to fix it.”

Kyborg “I’m not in any pain, besides my usual, but that’s always there.”

Bart “What do you mean your usual pain? You shouldn’t have usual pain”

Kyborg “You know, just the usual pain that everybody has. Do you not have it”

Bart “I don’t think most people have usual pain buddy, you should probably get that checked out”

Kyborg *surprised and confused*

This was partially potatoes idea ( @pirateshippotato ), but I was thinking that good luck babe could be good luck brink and they were saying that it could be brink, who had dated kyborg, singing to kyborg who was now married to Lyn Mayer

I was thinking about how Kyborgs family died when he was really young and then I remembered he was an elf and he lived to 750ish, and his parents died when he was somewhere between 4 and 6 so he didn’t even get to be with his faimly for one hundredth of his life before they died, and when he died he wouldn’t have seen his family for about 740-745 years

I have an idea for a fic I can’t write but basically, what if kyborgs family died on his birthday, he would know what the date was and he would probably remember his birthday really well, since it was the day his family died and he would probably stop celebrating his birthday and since he had no one to celebrate with for a while it wouldn’t bother him. But then when he met the interns they would probably eventually want to know when his birthday was so they could celebrate it. And since they were adventuring for over a year together he would have no excuse to not celebrate with them, but then he would have to explain why he didn’t want them to celebrate at all and they could have a cute bonding moment(I can’t really make endings).

More spoilers:

Also even though as a kid Inku/the dark never did anything to him (besides steal his parents) I wouldn’t be surprised if the dark around him had been manipulated to be scary( I don’t think Inku knew where Bart was but she could have cast some spell on him so that the darkness around him was more scary when he was born like a evil darkness godmother) wich would mean at the orchanedge he would probably try to point out how the dark was doing scary things but no one would believe him and just think he was weird for being afraid of something as natural as darkness. Also some of the meaner kids might have tried to use the dark to scare him so that by the time he met mudd and kyborg he was trying to hide the fact that he was afraid of the dark until he knew they wouldn’t make fun of him.

So people being afraid of the dark is an evolutionary thing, and Bart is afraid of the dark when no one else is (that I know of). You could say that’s just a coincidence, or you could say that the other party members family history never involved being in a place where being afraid of the dark was a survival thing (I’m just imagining that in the history of Faeza there was never a period like the earth Stone Age because they had enough magic to be able to protect against stuff and they could live in groups who pooled their magic together to set up defenses). But Bart is afraid of the dark because some part of him subconsciously knew that his parents had been lost to the darkness and this makes his fear so much more unexplainable since people think he’s just being paranoid but then the dark dose attack him and while that would validate him it would probably mean he never got over his fear of the dark and he probably didn’t like whenever his faimly got to close to the dark either.
