this quote about cordyceps from this article in a scientific magazine is basically how i've always imagined possession to work in horror stories. the demon/entity/whatever doesn't alter your perception, displace you, or control your mind, they just take over all your bodily processes, bypassing your brain entirely. they force your mouth and vocal cords to form the words they want you to say, force your limbs to move in the direction they want you to go, and force your lungs to keep expanding and contracting and your heart to keep beating, even through excruciating pain and horrific injury, so you can't even self-sabotage and your friends and loved ones are discouraged from trying to stop you for fear of what harm they might cause you to do to yourself to escape. you're a passenger in the driver's seat of your own car, and the hands on the wheel, though outwardly apparently the same pair you've always had, are no longer your own.

Rather than having an angel and a devil on his shoulder Xue Yang actually just has a devil and another gayer devil. This, ironically, is the perfect (read: extremely toxic and disastrous) counterpart to Xiao Xinghcen who happens to have an angel and another gayer angel on his shoulder.

My Partner: Hey we're doing secret santa with my family this year, just christmas ornaments though, nothing fancy.
Me, who hasn't even met half these people yet: Sweet. Am I gonna be judged if I turn up with a light up bedazzled beholder/biblically accurate angel?
My Partner: What?
Me:
I frankensteined together 4 different ornaments and a shit ton of beads for this I hope they like it

Brain damage can trigger some forms of psychosis so I'm thinking about how James more than likely went through a lot of general + religious psychosis before his brain was stolen and fixed up a little at Big MT (which probably didn't even entirely fix it so I feel he still has episodes every now and again. He likely manages it better post OWB though)
