#araneri my dearest. your past is so tragic

[outpost-31]

ALRIGHT posting it. lore for how araneri injured his eye and developed anisocoria.

I've mentioned it was from getting into a brawl and injuring his eye but I'm not sure I ever clarified .

@firstweeklastweek (since you wanted to see ^_^)

fair warning for. well it's not physical abuse but an argument does get incredibly physical with his father . and mentioned drug/alcohol abuse again because of his backstory

actual lore (keep in mind this is copy and pasted):

SO . araneri got his fucked up eye the night he killed cesarine . which is why he has trouble remembering that night. not only was he drunk but it was. upsetting

he killed her, yknow. not only that but he did that while already buzzed. they were drinking together. and after what happened he was in. slight hysterics, to put it gently

He left with his panic, left her to die. Only problem was, cesarine was his safety net. her place and car were places he could sleep safely. without her, he didn't have anywhere to stay. so that night he'd needed to go back home. To his.. distress. He knew it wouldn't go well, ofcourse. it never did. especially if he came home like that

but he still did. even if he downed even more of the bottle he'd been sharing with cesarine in the hopes he wouldn't remember whatever happened when he got back. Worked a bit, I suppose. Not to mention, he wasn't exactly... only drunk .

His parents aren't the kindest people, and all. when their already-hated son stumbled inside from sneaking out, nose bleeding, visibly drunk and smelling like liquor, clearly shaken from .. Something happening that they couldn't quite figure out. his father snapped

they got into a screaming match, one that couldn't possibly have ended well either way it went. araneri was incredibly unstable that night from what he'd just done, too, so it didn't stay civil for long. It got physical and escalated Quickly when Araneri shoved him. and. it resulted in not just a violent backhand across the face, but one that was so aggressive it worsened his nosebleed . the crack sounded like something had broken with how loud it was, he remembers it. But that wasn't what resulted in the injury to his eye. Araneri was. a bit deranged that night . he had been. The second he recovered from the slap so violent it left his head spinning, he leapt on that man with nothing but pure hatred- uncoordinated, maybe, because he was drunk, but with full intent to cause as much harm to him as possible. And he did. The injury to his eye came from the punching and clawing that followed as he tried to hold him down . But he was smaller. weaker than his father, as he always had been. and so HoF intervened .

araneri technically killed three people that night. but only one of them was his own doing. his parents were torn apart by HoF for the injuries they'd caused. and araneri let it happen. he stood over them while they died with absolutely no pity in his heart. Nothing but rage and disgust, from all his pain. His eye had basically been torn open, and half his vision being red and fuzzy did his anger no favors .

Thankfully, they lived outside of town, on the coast. he got away with it, for a time. stayed only long enough to gather his things and fall asleep on a bus that took him to a different city entirely. he was too much of a mess to plan. he just went from there. the only reason his eye didn't get infected was because HoF fussed over him for weeks after he was hurt (and directly after) to make sure he cared for it properly. even in his entirely broken state

that was what solidified his fucked up sense of justice that night, actually. he'd always hated those two, because they despised him. it wasn't just detachment, he couldn't be around them without feeling sick with anger. it had been like that his whole life. he saw killing them as finally taking care of a problem that needed to be solved. he just didn't have the ability to do it before.

and more screenshots because I had a discussion about it:
