On the idea of Theseus's Ship: in the end, it's still his, isn't it?
It was known as Theseus's, and it will continue to be known as Theseus's.
Even after he has returned to the ground which grew the wood of the hammer used to nail the ship's frame,
Even after generations of new wood have rotted and the sails are rags clinging to threads,
Even after millennia,
it will still be Theseus's Ship.
Thank you for bringing us home.
Goodnight, Phosphophyllite.

Okay, okay, okay, but, like... hear me out.
Do you know when you break something, you fix it up and then it breaks again in the same places right? Because now those parts are weaker to pressure and sollecitations right?
What if when Phos was born in the shore of nascency the fall from the cliff broke them and then every time they lost a body part the braking point was the same from the first time?
I know that scientifically speaking it's not really accurate because gems fracture and flake depending on their crystalline structure etc... but stiiiill, I couldn't shake off this idea/headcanon.
Also Kongo seeing the slow descendant of Phos, (one of his beloved child) to humanity kills me every time.

Big ass collection of my favorite phos and cairngorm moments throughout HNK
oof...
silly!! i think their relationship and banter is highly underrated
guh i love phos and cairngorm and i love how phos goes through sooo many changes tghroughout their time with gormie and for once has a stable partner who doesnt like die immediately cough
at the same time i know cairngorms annoyance(idk a good word) at phos constantly getting themsleves hurt is played off as humorous but i think cairngorm is genuienly upset
THIS is so random and realy funny WHY are they stnading like that
i really wish we got to see more of cairngorm with lapis lazuli
cairngorm has said "what are you even on about" twice so thats 2 nickels
this is the arc where we get into my favorite cairngorm and phos designs. moon phos and normal cairngorm idk they are so fun to draw
Cairngorm sleeps with shiro plushies which is so cute. Also the fact that they wouldn't have gone to the moon if not for phos like NEEDING to rely on gormie for so much and literally begging them to go, they might not have... um. encountered aechmea and yk what happens GUH PHOS ! !
SO BASICALLY phos got cairngorm to go with them. They explicitly said they dont want to. bro i guess phos eventually convinved them. or maybe it was because of ghost. or maybe lapis. I find it interesting that cairngorm was so devoted to listening to their "ghost" and protecting phos but then when lapis comes in they are more focused on lapis? and also more tired?
And then... the moon and thats basically it for their interactions that i LIKE after that. but yea, defintiley my favorite phos relationship
there is ONE flashback cairngorm has on the moon:
its kinda just sad tho i keep forgetting this exists because u can see in their water relfection, ghost standing behind cairngorm
