as i work on this reference, i'm reminded of rýsir's scarring, and i do think that the reminder is worth making note of - despite rýsir's own lack of shame towards his body, and the fact that he does not see any issue with his scars, he has countless scars that are very clearly from self harm. his body may be startling upon first glance, and it may make some people uncomfortable; his own personal feelings towards his body and his scars does not mean that one is not allowed to have a negative reaction to them.

#* HEADCANON.#self harm /#sh /#ask to tag /#there are a lot of complicated feelings and experiences wrapped up in rýsir's acts against his body #and it doesn't … it comes from a strange and very distant place that like. a lot of people might not understand #Pain and Hurt for rýsir; as i've explained; are very different than the Pain and Hurt that the average person understands #and there is in fact a kind of 'cultural' aspect to it too; pain and flagellation #* self-flagellation / harm *do* play some vague role in gyryth culture #implemented entirely by aglarhain and that alone makes everything even more complicated #but anyway. all of this to say; he's not ashamed and he's not disappointed and not a single one of his scars #is a point of guilt or disgust for him #they are Marks that Signify things to him
