So Taako will be losing his magic- this is traumatic for him in a number of ways, but primarily will be an issue because he can't stop his hellraising sister, but he has another caveat. Without getting into too many canon spoilers, Taako ran into a challenge at one point that changed his appearance; he lost his beauty, and doesn't look as glamorous as he typically does. He currently uses a spell to make himself look like he used to (and match Lup), but without magic, won't be able to keep this up. It won't be a DRASTIC difference- more like sagging around the eyes, not having as nice a nose, but he'll absolutely look different to the people that are used to seeing him. Along with that, he's gonna be having an identity crisis about not having magic and what that means for his self-worth. It's gonna be a great time! (It's going to be bad, it's going to be so bad).
Meanwhile, Alphys is going to be losing her soul- at least figuratively. Because a monster's SOUL is what holds them together, she'll still be alive, and her magic intact, but she'll essentially have the sort of soul that Flowey ended up with in her canon, so completely unable to feel emotions. She'll also be struggling with morality, her work, and sort of the person she is without these feelings. Catch her having seven consecutive depression void days that you can't escape from, it's fine, this is Fine.
hit me up for plotting!!! I'd like to do shit with both of them and I am soooo down for that good good existential crisis discussion :V feel free to message me at cancerously as well!!
taako and alphys
