before he died, victor, millard, and hugh were like the Iconic Trio. the brawns, the brains, and the pretty face (as dubbed by hugh). if the three of them were around, you Knew they were up to something. would it be illegal? maybe. would it be funny as hell? absolutely.

The Peculiar Children When They’re Sick

Millard- Millard DOES NOT NOTICE. It’s a problem. Did you see how chill he was when he got shot? A cold is nothing! He’s fine. The only thing this boy cares about is his research and it completely distracts him from his personal needs. Luckily whenever he gets sick he sounds sick, like he gets super stuffy and stuff like that. But he is a nightmare to try and keep in bed because he keeps sneaking out to look at pigs or something.

Emma- It’s dangerous. Whenever she’s sick she has NO CONTROL over her peculiarity. Sneezing? Tiny fire bursts out of her nose. Coughing? Literal dragon. Vomiting? LITERALLY WREATHED IN FLAMES. Miss. P sets up a (mostly) fireproof room in the basement and she just chills down there so she doesn’t set the house on fire (but there has been a few close calls). She is super emotional though. She cries a lot over absolutely nothing and no-one wants to take care of her, because they will come down stairs and give her water and she’s super needy and cuddly, but then they will come down like ten minutes later and she’s screaming and throwing shit at them.

Jacob- Jacob gets sick SO EASILY. He gets whiny and irritable when he’s ill and retreats to his room with snacks and Netflix. Everyone feels kind of bad for him because every time ANY illness is going around he is bound to catch it. He is so whiny though, he’s the kind of sick person who asks for one type of soup and then cries and complains that it’s not the right brand. He also uses his susceptibility to illnesses to get out of class and work a lot, like he pretends to be sick SO OFTEN and his parents just let him stay home from school.

Bronwyn- Literally everyone panics and takes s u c h good care of her. Like she takes care of them all and this is their chance to pay her back. If she sneezes someone is there with tissues and soups instantly. Bronwyn is pretty chill when she is sick, she sleeps a lot and is pretty out of it the whole time. She gets better pretty quickly and then does like… double what a person should do in a day because she feels like she wasted a day and needs to make up for it.

Fiona- Clingy and drowsy. Fiona just looks so sad when she’s sick everyone feels bad. She cuddles with Hugh a lot and takes a lot of naps. She also gets really irritable when she is sick. Miss. Peregrine won’t let her go outside but she just wants to grow some flowers, and she gets all huffy and mad at Miss. P.

Hugh- PANIC TIME. HIS BEE’S!!!! WHAT IF THEY GET SICK TOO???? Hugh always releases his bee’s into like the yard or something while he’s sick, just in case, and always gets nervous and wants to check on them. After he knows his bee’s are safe he is just so pathetic when he’s sick. He gets grumpy without his bee’s and just wraps himself in a cocoon of blankets and eats an unhealthy amount of honey.

Enoch- He’s not sick he is fine and no-one needs to know. Enoch is the most infuriating person when he is sick because there is NO way he is just staying in bed all day. He has people to insult and corpses to bring back to life and hates to be babied. He does not tell anyone and keeps sneaking out of bed when someone finds out. There has definitely been times where he straight up passed out because he refused to tell anyone he was sick.

Horace- Before he got his peculiarity (so like when he was 8 and younger) he was SUCH A DRAMA QUEEN, but his peculiarity goes haywire and it’s really stressful on everyone involved. So, Horace doesn’t get sick very often but when he does he gets really sick and it is Very Bad. He is just constantly having nightmares and visions (all bad) and thrashing around and crying. When he isn’t having a nightmare he is barely coherent and just like a sweaty, sobbing, anxious mess and it’s really bad. He like, can’t eat anything because he is either dreaming or having a panic attack and everyone feels super bad for him and are really nice to him once he gets better.

Olive- Drowsy and unfocused, like once Olive get sick she is like a zombie. Its disconcerting honestly when this literal ball of bouncy sunshine turns into a like a floating corpse (Enoch claims she acts exactly like when he raises a dead person but no-one is sure if he is exaggerating or not). Her peculiarity also goes haywire. Even if she is wearing her shoes and wrapped in the weighted blankets on her bed that let her sleep without her shoes she still floats everywhere. Bronwyn is constantly anxious every time Olive gets sick. Whenever she sneezes she rockets up to the ceiling NO MATTER WHAT.

Claire- Wants to be like Enoch and just pretends she isn’t sick because she doesn’t want to worry anyone, but her backmouth is whiny. Claire also looks really sick whenever she gets ill, so she can’t hide for long. She literally gets treated like a princess though because she’s the baby and always looks so sad. Her backmouth is also really loud and growls and wails so everyone thinks she feels sicker than she actually does. She is constantly wrapped in fluffy blankets and everyone gets her whatever she wants.

Imagine a peculiarity where the person can change the sice of things.
