Hazel - Blog Posts
Not to mention all the PTSD, insomnia and schizophrenia.
Imagine a demigod who already has PTSD because of their childhood where they had to fight monsters and run away from home or keep it a secret from everyone at such Young age because, 'I know no-one's gonna believe me'. And imagine it getting worse after the war. Imagine them being too headstrong or scared to tell anyone and deciding to go through the pain all alone.
Feel free to add!
A small HC
90% OF DEMIGODS HAVE ANXIETY AND/OR DEPRESSION AS WELL AS ADHD AND DYSLEXIA PASS IT ON.
Okay, someone has probably done this before but like…… You try being constantly labeled a problem child and somehow not ending up with some form of mental illness seriously. Like, these kids are not okay. Don’t pretend they are. Nobody can realistically fight at least one war and come out unscathed, never mind being attacked by like…. a monster….. like that stuff’s scarring y’all.
Inspired by the “Anxiety” series on AO3. Link
Feel free to add on other mental illness HC’s because dang… There are a surprisingly low amount.
Ok so I think at this point its basically confirmed that the theory of Hazel being a null is correct.
The idea of one-one making her to help the Apex learn a lesson and bring their numbers down is compelling. Especially since one-one...
Mr. Yeah you know what murder would solve the problem would absolutely do this. Morality (and personal agency) is not his strong suit. We don’t know how long Hazel has been with Tuba or how long its been since Lake and Jesse left the train. Its entirely possible that after Lake “tricked” him into thinking she had a number he realized he could put whatever “numbers” he wanted on any denizen.
But I have a different theory. What if One-One didn’t make Hazel.
...what if Amelia did. We know she was trying to make a car with Alrick in it so she’d have to try making people at some point. And as its been established...
She wasn’t very good at making things without turtles. What if Hazel was one of her attempts at making people. It could explain a lot. Hazel doesn’t remember her past but if she was created by the conductor (either one-one or Amelia) then she might just not have one, she could have come into existence at whatever age she is (I don’t think it was mentioned).
As for her number it could be as simple as Amelia not understanding how the number generation system works. A half-hearted attempt at figuring out how the train systems work.
