HAI. omg. don’t mind if i do!

so jisvng’s mother was cursed when she was pregnant with him and he was born with the weather curse. at its core it’s a little like hanahaki? the curse exists as a consequence or punishment for jisvng’s mother’s decisions in love, but instead of just manifesting when jisvng is in love and it is unrequited, it manifests… always. it’s like an extension to how his body feels and expresses different emotions.

the most basic ones are joy and sadness, which manifest as warmth and cold respectively. pure, unrestrained happiness presents as warmth all over the body and a faint glow that resembles the sun, whereas intense sadness or depression can feel like a freezing, numbing cold. ice can even spread over his skin if it’s /that/ bad.

the one i like the most is love. not only in the romantic sense but in every sense possible, love presents in the form of flowers growing and spreading across jisvng’s skin. each flower represents something different; some grow when he feels loved and appreciated, some when he feels beautiful, some when he’s the one loving and appreciated and wanting someone. the flowers usually don’t last longer than a few days, but they can grow back with any wave of intense love or affection.

of course, pretty and poetic as it all seems, having a weather curse is inconvenient most of the times. frustration and anger cause storms that can at best be bothersome and at worst put himself and others in danger. envy and jealousy make vines grow up his limbs, and they rot with the intensity of the feeling. jisvng doesn’t know how to control the curse completely, even after years of trying. the best he could find was to try and feel as little as possible when he’s in public—but this has consequences, of course. and there are still situations where he can’t help himself; moments where his anxiety is too strong and manifests as a small earthquake, moments where he fills a room with fog from embarrassment, moments where he stands in front of the person he loves most and can’t help a variety of flowers from blooming all over his skin, no matter how ashamed he may be of being seen like that.

so… yeah. those are the basics. i could talk about him literally Forever. i’m not sure where to go with this idea but it means the world to me so please share any thoughts / hcs / questions if u want!!
