sheogorath & haskill ~ miscellany

[kossai]

crosspost from tumblr @ thaliendir .

most of which is in particular for kossai universe here , not necessarily commentary on canon - but feel free to take tidbits if inspire !

• sheogorath is effectively autoromantic autosexual , and haskill is aromantic asexual . given sheogorath's domain over kink and mind-blur aspects of sex , though , sheogorath may still involve others in order to experiment and indulge . haskill have no such concerns . 
• relationship of haskill and sheogorath is - in modern terms - best to understand as queerplatonic . very deep , very real connection , blur lines between what people see as friendship and romantic devotion , even as far as nobility go .
• haskill is very rare to smile , as have blunt affect . when sheogorath say what haskill enjoy , might assume that either sheogorath joke , or just unaware haskill truly hate . yet , in reality , there is truth to this ! haskill just struggle to express conventionally - perhaps more sarcasm is more happiness .
• haskill and sheogorath share something of mental bond , too - especially in thaliendir's time as sheogorath due to dual nature . sheogorath cycle through traits and presentations , and so too do haskill to some extent , in inverse to sheogorath . this can work as something of counterbalance , where depressive haskill might rope in some of manic sheogorath's more obviously dangerous ideas , or manic haskill prompt depressive sheogorath to just try things out .
