also seraphine writing love songs that are just as good as my love all mine by m1tski will always be my favorite headcanon
I was just staring at asks and thinking, Seraphine is so happy all the time, and I really love that but as someone who functioned like that for years she internalizes a lot of her own sadness or anger and is definitely the type who only breaks down when she is alone or in the shower or something to hide it from other people. I think she puts so much pressure on herself to be perfect and be that icon that lifts everyone up and helps unify Zaun and Piltover that she forgets she is a person and a human being too. I think she does that to herself more than anything, I know that the outside pressure is not as much, aside from maybe the council and pending Ambessa depending on how that goes plotting wise with any Ambessa writers but the point stands. There is an endless weight on her own shoulders especially since she can truly hear what is happening internally with others and that's so much weight for her.
also bc its dumb she suddenly just didn't need them in the game, sera 100% still wears her hextech hearing aids. While she is able to harness her powers and utilize the music for good and for a better cause, she doesn't get over being able to need her hearing aids to help distinguish between all the souls it helps make it a lot easier, and also provided her with some relief from the chronic music and rhythms that exist in the world to her, her brain just isn't wired to processes all of them at once and never will be wired to process them all at once so the hearing aids are something she will ALWAYS need and have to a degree when I write her. Plus i think its cute her dad, herself and the boys all made them better and help her more together as a lil team. That's fun lore.
