Local Cryptid actually just Dissociating Nerd: It’s more likely than you think
The Liches’ faces are inconsistent in canon and I like to think it’s because they’re malleable beings of pure magic and emotion. A totally grounded Lich can approximate a face. Conscious-but-losing-it and there’s that pinpoint of light in the hood that the boys first saw in Goldcliff. A blank void is a very angry/ very unstable Lich. Back away.
interesting how so many people will agree that “mothering is the hardest/most intense/most important job in the world” but the people who perform the work of mothering for money (daycare workers and nannies) are payed shit wages and nobody cares. it’s almost as if we glorify motherhood to convince women to have children but actually consider the gendered work of caretaking to be worth next to nothing.
