on a show of hands who here remembers how possession works in the 80s universe it was SO long ago I'm assuming none of you do

#anyway the kids pilot edgar like a fucken. mech all the time and he just kinda lets it happen because experiencing living again makes- #-them happy #it only dies down when Isaac and Noah enter the picture and 1. he does not want them using him as a meat puppet and scaring off isaac n noa #2. once they actually know about the ghosts and they can see how badly it fucks him up because of how frequently they do it... #they put their foot down about it #they just take a while to realize what is actually happening bc. it's edgar. #finding him throwing up isn't something unusual. like he is actually in pretty decent health aside from his disabilities in jack's universe #but you cannot look me in the eye and say that you'd be surprised to find him looking gaunt and about to pass out it's edgar. #common side effects of possession include: #memory loss; nausea; dissociation; phantom pains; brain fog; vertigo; and delayed response to stimuli #but that's just the physical effects. if your body is fighting to kick out a spirit (which edgar's usually isn't) it causes a lot of- #-mental distress and paranoia #the phantom pains specifically are your body and mind trying to sort itself out. the spirit still retains the wounds that lead to death #e.g.; eddie would experience shortness of breath and tension/pain in his neck when mads is controlling him #bc she was strangled
