The point the Cairngorm's/Welegato's arc did end up making regarding Pho's overall journey until the end - not sure if intentionally or not:

Who are you when the people you relied on to like you and to care for you and to treat you a certain way no longer do that? When they change? When the people you like change and change their manner of seeing you and relegate you to a smaller place in their lives, then who are you?

Aren't you not - much like Phos - holding a part of yourself in your friend's hands?

When Cairngorm changed, Phos lost their north. Not immediately. But they lost completely where they were headed since their connection with Cairngorm was something they relied on, much like the ground they used to stand, they took it for granted several times. That was not, by the way, the fact Cairgorn's changed a lot of her personality but she lost interest in her affection and connection with Phos. She was no longer fiercely invested in that, as she used to. That had devastating consequences on Pho's psyche.

It had devastating consequences on the way the fandom felt, too. Looking back, it's easy to see people felt somehow betrayed, which is the flinch reaction to when someone you care about changes to the point they're unrecognizable, meaning they weren't who you relied on them to be, and that might never have been them all along. But also, they felt like Cairngorm betrayed her connection with Phos, and I guess that's where it gets murky and complicated. If you asked Welegato that connection was never hers, to begin with.

Which is of her right but isn't also a profoundly cruel thing to say?

sel and cairn on winter duty 🤍🖤

[3dot5]

and now it looks like im obsessd with them

ykw maybe only 0.2 people will understand this but cairngorm and phos are the krisnix of houseki no kuni there i said it

also related to that thought have this random thing i made a while ago that i have NO idea why i made it:

[penebui]

I'm invested in your revered ghost and true cairn aus and I'd like to hear more about them.

WOAH WHAT A JUMPSCARE!! Well, since we only have one month till hnk ends you get some fun info!!! </3

Reversed Ghost AU

Cairn's head is visible in the sunlight when everything else about Ghost is see through

Ghost goes to the moon with Phos and Aechmea tries to coax Cairn through Ghost with the promise of freeing Cairn's head from the confines of Ghost, and Cairn's inclusions respond to that (despite Cairn not actually being 'there')

Ghost is a lot more... creepy and ghost-like, they often repeat certain phrases and sentiments that Cairn once said themself

That being said their voice is dual-toned, with their main voice deeper and if you listen closely, theres an echo to them that sounds a lot like Cairn's voice

In this AU, Ghost is transmasc

Ghost is still self-sacrificial, but is very protective of their arm that still has Cairn's arm

True Cairn AU

She loses her arm and is still insecure about it, but is more vocal about the problems it causes

Cairn still travels to the moon with Phos, on their on volition now

She still gets into moon fashion

Very dismissive of whatever the fuck Aechmea has going on, but she tags along with his shenanigans because she's bored and curious

She never officially gets with Phos, they moreso have a vague situationship

During the 10k years she wears a pendant with a drawing of Phos that Ghost drew for her (she never truly got over Phos)

She does in fact marry Aechmea but she also performs Lunarian's first Divorce:tm:

She still becomes besties with Shinsha and Antarc, and reminisces about Phos with them

[subtlejackhammer]

honestly feel like a trans interpretation of cairngorm/welegato is still possible without aechmea in the picture. like it feels that all their life they had to be something they weren’t. be similar to ghost quartz. be a place-holder to antarc for phos. be a trophy-wife for aechmea. Lots of these things feel like something they dont want to do in actuality, but they do anyway because they need something to rely on, a person to follow and devote. never really having a chance to be their own being. even in fulfilling winter duties, they experienced suicidal thoughts. these types of tasks, this sort of way of living, isn’t something they want to do. 

it wouldve been sort of cathartic to see cairngorm/welegato break out of aechmea’s grasp. to finally be their own person, separate from anyone and their wishes. to choose who they want to be. 

idk if this makes any sense i hope it does.

GIRLBOSS TOURNEY ROUND ONE: HEY, AREN'T THESE TWO TECHNICALLY ROCKS?

Select which one you think is GIRLBOSSIER, i.e., which one is the better girlboss

Propaganda

Cairngorm/Welegato:

Transed herself from SEXLESS ROCK to CUTEGIRL FASHIONISTA MODEL. Marries the king of the moon and bosses him around and gaslights him into teaching her science, which she picks up on instantly. Extremely smart, a fantastic fighter, and kind of cunty.

Garnet:

She's a mom. She sings. She's married to herself. She can see the future. She's voiced by Estelle. She's even gay.

[mieowkoid09]

Someones most definently done this but WHO CARES. WERREGAT MY BELOVED <3

Btw can we all agree that Werregat's outfits are top tier? I want them.

[i-clash-with-everything]

Do I despise Welegato? Yes 100% she's an asshole just like her husband.

Do I get why her character went the direction it did once the rest of Ghost was removed from her? Also yes 100% and I think she's an even more interesting character because of it. (As is Ghost tbh, I wish we got to see more of them before they were taken.)

Did I still groan or make a disdainful expression every time she and/or Aechmae showed up? Very much so I hate them both so much

[chron0ph0bia]

I'm sorry I just

[semi-imaginary-place]

The transition from tired babysitter to groomed discord kitten was insane (Rank77)

this deals psychic damage but it's so true

[astroshiloh]

You all know Cairngorm would have one of these.
