WOAH WHAT A JUMPSCARE!! Well, since we only have one month till hnk ends you get some fun info!!! </3
Reversed Ghost AU
Cairn's head is visible in the sunlight when everything else about Ghost is see through
Ghost goes to the moon with Phos and Aechmea tries to coax Cairn through Ghost with the promise of freeing Cairn's head from the confines of Ghost, and Cairn's inclusions respond to that (despite Cairn not actually being 'there')
Ghost is a lot more... creepy and ghost-like, they often repeat certain phrases and sentiments that Cairn once said themself
That being said their voice is dual-toned, with their main voice deeper and if you listen closely, theres an echo to them that sounds a lot like Cairn's voice
In this AU, Ghost is transmasc
Ghost is still self-sacrificial, but is very protective of their arm that still has Cairn's arm
True Cairn AU
She loses her arm and is still insecure about it, but is more vocal about the problems it causes
Cairn still travels to the moon with Phos, on their on volition now
She still gets into moon fashion
Very dismissive of whatever the fuck Aechmea has going on, but she tags along with his shenanigans because she's bored and curious
She never officially gets with Phos, they moreso have a vague situationship
During the 10k years she wears a pendant with a drawing of Phos that Ghost drew for her (she never truly got over Phos)
She does in fact marry Aechmea but she also performs Lunarian's first Divorce:tm:
She still becomes besties with Shinsha and Antarc, and reminisces about Phos with them
honestly feel like a trans interpretation of cairngorm/welegato is still possible without aechmea in the picture. like it feels that all their life they had to be something they weren’t. be similar to ghost quartz. be a place-holder to antarc for phos. be a trophy-wife for aechmea. Lots of these things feel like something they dont want to do in actuality, but they do anyway because they need something to rely on, a person to follow and devote. never really having a chance to be their own being. even in fulfilling winter duties, they experienced suicidal thoughts. these types of tasks, this sort of way of living, isn’t something they want to do.
it wouldve been sort of cathartic to see cairngorm/welegato break out of aechmea’s grasp. to finally be their own person, separate from anyone and their wishes. to choose who they want to be.
GIRLBOSS TOURNEY ROUND ONE: HEY, AREN'T THESE TWO TECHNICALLY ROCKS?

Propaganda
Cairngorm/Welegato:
Transed herself from SEXLESS ROCK to CUTEGIRL FASHIONISTA MODEL. Marries the king of the moon and bosses him around and gaslights him into teaching her science, which she picks up on instantly. Extremely smart, a fantastic fighter, and kind of cunty.
Garnet:
She's a mom. She sings. She's married to herself. She can see the future. She's voiced by Estelle. She's even gay.
