yo imagine if onoghur got jealous super easily like
she's walking by the avar khaganate's yurt when she hears avar pant and whine 'BULGAR IT HUUUURTS PULL IT OUUUT'
she quickly rushes inside, only to find... bulgar piercing avar's ears with a needle.
'YO WTF- NVM' she says and leaves. her sudden appearance startles bulgar, who, when pulling the needle out, flinches and stabs avar in the neck. avar yelps and instinctively pulls away. bright red blood sprouts out of the wound. avar, who notices this, faints.
bulgar *looking at unconscious and bleeding avar* : dang all of this happened just bc he wanted to wear earrings
(both avar men and avar women wore earrings, avar probably couldn't get his ears pierced till now cuz he spent his childhood and early teen years fleeing göktürk, later he'd fight wars for survival so getting his ears pierced was the least of his concerns)
also imagine before bulgar started the entire procedure
bulgar: *heating the needle into fire* don't worry avar :D it won't rlly hurt it'll be like ur pierced by an arrow but it's a super tiny arrow you've been pierced by arrows before right? so u know it's not scary :D
avar: *ptsd flashbacks of göktürk and his battles with him*
