You know, as much as I believe that Elias and Peter would be toxic dicorcecore, codependency at its finest and yet also they don't need each other but only come together to feed their gods... I can't help but think that in a better world it'd work.

Sure, the Lonely means you can't be Seen, Known, because if someone knows you, you, if they truly know you for who your are and about you, then you're no longer lonely.

And the Beholding cant be isolated. If your isolated you can't learn of others, can't see and learn and Know everything about the people to the point that you know how their heart beats and their blood courses, if they don't exist.

But! You can be Known in isolation. If Peter and Elias had been a Canon, not toxic ship, then it'd be perfect. I think being Known would add to the isolation, the people around you knowing you to the point that your unsettled, and yet you're alone. They don't talk to you, don't hang out with you. They learn about you, Know you and See you like it's their religion, and yet they don't care about you. Not really. I think that's worse, just from personal experiences. Nothing is more lonely than being surrounded by people who Know every small detail about you, and yet they don't care about you. Your Alone in every way, but not alone.

And I think that if Peter and Elias actually stopped being toxic and feeding their gods off of each other (Peter feeding the Lonely with the loneliness that Elias wears as a cape, an isolating cloak of loneliness born from immortality, born from the death of his lovery and family and friends, all long dead and it's all his fault. Elias feeding the Beholding with Peter's social anxiety, the fear of being Known, that he is being watched, judged, Seen in a way that breaks his mind and causes breakdowns in the alley between the restaurants, and in the bathrooms of upper class parties) then they'd trult be a terrifying pair.

They'd be terrible, terrific, they'd prey on the socially anxious. They find solace with Peter, and then they're Known and everything has Eyes that stare and Peter is suddenly too cold and the person realises that their safe place is no longer safe.
