#challenge shut up about zestial: failed.

[zestials]

rory ... you ask ... what are these gifs pointing out ??? zestial doesn't show in a reflection when by all logical reasoning & standing next to alastor , he should. but he shows on film ( which we know is a camera considering alastor's making it go fucky - wucky ) i'm pulling this into the fact that i've often been equating him to the known & unknown !!!! ( knowledge & the lack thereof , the innate fear that comes with it , a fear that's enough to make your skin crawl & light yourself ablaze desperate for an escape. ) he should show , but he doesn't. you don't see him coming when he's already got his eyes on you. you can't even trust your own reflection to be truthful !! this is also part of his distaste for more modern technology that's actually capable of capturing his likeness properly. while he's certainly had paintings done in the past , it's one thing to simply have a memory & another entirely for the possibility of ruining his plans by giving an early warning.

which means with the up of security systems , zestial has made some fun examples of those that thought it'd stop him . 🫶 ( but it is now something he actively looks out for & will go to lengths to destroy first if the need arises. )

EDIT: maybe they fr were just lazy .. he shows here ... but yk ? i like this headcanon so i'm keeping it. close your eyes ... sh.....
