my portrayal of soul catcher π
before you continue: any latinos who are reading this (hi friends) who feel the need to correct me on what i might say about dia de los muertos PLEASE SAY IT because im indulging in your holiday like a barbie doll and you gotta tell me if im ruining their dress so i can correct my mistake πππ ive done a bit of research before making this but im prone to misinterpretation πππ
so soul catcher to me is a grim reaper, it just makes sense because his idle animation is him escorting a soul with what seemed like a marigold petal (you know, the flowers that are heavily associated with this holiday) and ive read that sta. muerte is known to deliver souls safely into the afterlife. so that's what he is to me. but at the same time he's also someone Helps separate the soul from the newly departed's body - something that a grim reaper does. they don't tamper with the cause of death, they just help direct the soul where it should be :] these two concepts go hand in hand to me :3
also i really like how his costume description reinforces this concept of souls :3
in my last soul catcher post (with eidolon) i mentioned how eidolon is also this wandering spectre/undead gal that has gotten some rumors spreading around the locals. i like to think that once soul actually got to meet her and tried to "separate her soul" from her body (its... his "job" anyway...) it didn't work because she's partially alive. you cannot take away someone's soul when they're still alive... but also at the same time, she isn't? it was truly a curse. it was a very perplexing issue to him - and even if he wanted to help her be free of her conundrum ... it really wasn't possible. it's like, the curse has higher power over her right to the afterlife
so, she was truly doomed to be stuck where she is today. there's no way to undo it, not even with the superior magic that soul has. so the least he can do is let her know that he's there to be her friend, and he'll keep her company - maybe for eternity.

(he actually cannot.. feel her weight. but the sight is enough for him! it makes her very happyπ)#he probably only feels a very slow and cold breeze around his palm ueueue#and nero when he mentioned that this au somehow reflects the real universe where irene trying to find her βfreedomβ#and it always leads back to him ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;#they do a twist tho. he's the one saving her from her misery in here :3 in the og - she's the one pulling him out of his misery#SNIIIFFF...
