changeling talks about margery kempe in the latest fic even though she is not a saint Because she is not a saint in part because many of her contemporaries found her constant weeping grotesque/obnoxious, which i think changeling (frequent haver of public meltdowns) relates to

#aside #oc: the changeling #the first thing you have to understand about the changeling’s Special Interest in saints is that 5naf did not exist when it was a kid #and also bc although Many churches can have dismal philosophies about disabilities some Can be very decent about them #so i think it’s a place that changeling’s mom really relied on as both childcare and social life when changeling was young #so changeling just naturally latched onto them bc it just happened to be there a lot #i also think that saint bartholomew is another dude that young changeling found relatably fascinating #bc ‘guy who was flayed alive and frequently depicted as exposed meat and holding his own skin but forced to be chill about it’#IS a solid metaphor for sensory overload lol
