i think we vastly underutilize jon’s scars/marks, like, as a concept to explore.
please consider;
- the mark from the desolation heals, but it still burns, the skin is hot to the touch, he starts shaking hands with his left.
- he can still feel the worms, but not only that, he can hear their songs when it gets quiet.
- the mark from the hunt still bleeds, occasionally. it pulses like a heartbeat, faster and faster, driving him to give chase after his prey, lest he become the hunted again.
- the slaughter’s mark also bleeds, and it sits stiffly in his shoulder, and when he pulls on the knotted skin, the pain is laced with something vicious and mindlessly violent, and just a little of what melanie had be feeling, on top of everything.
- his scars from the unknowing vanished, healed completely over after he accepted becoming the archivist. unless he looks in the mirror for too long, sees the skin warped and scarred and not entirely his own.
