redacted audio headcanons — d(a)emons
ok so listen. erik releases a video discussing d(a)emons and their magic structure, appearances, and more types (!!!!) of d(a)emons, of course i’m gonna put my two cents into the conversation.
for the most part, my headcanons were kinda similar to what erik discussed for canon. however, im also a little slut for extra fantasy elements.
in aria, d(a)emons essentially look like tieflings to me. they’re all different shapes and shades and sizes varied within their races. theyre all fucking tall tho. the sovereigns were like suuuuuper fucking tall, so d(a)emons ended up being upper 6-7 feet because of that.
on elegy, d(a)emons take on human appearances to fit more in with others. they shrink, they gain human skin tones, etc. there are a few traits that stick around, but they only appear when feeding. a d(a)emon can choose to have some traits “on” always though, like ears, and horns and tails, obviously.
erik mentioned not every d(a)emon shows their horns and tails. i think to some d(a)emons, showing a human your horns and tails is a sign of deep trust (like this is the equivalent of bridging). their horns and tails can also appear when feeling extreme emotions. for example, gavin’s horns and tail appeared during the inversion. afterwards, gavin revealed his horns and tail to freelancer properly, and how doesnt hide them in their home.
(more appearance hc's under the cut!)
