#anyway daniil stans unite

[callmearcturus]

for those who don't know/remember

so okay iirc

Daniil is trying to locate Peter, who is drunk as a fuck, drunk enough he MIGHT set himself on fire, and he wants MORE fucking Twyrine to drink

AND THEN Katerina Saburova sends Daniil a letter like "get OVER here RIGHT NOW, i am having a CRISIS and need someone without community historical context to vent at" and Daniil sighs and stomps over through the plague-ridden streets to go see her

Katerina is like "hey you know simon kain" and Daniil is like "the guy who's death was the starting gun setting off this horserace of fuckery and despair? yeah i've heard of him" and she's like "yeah he's alive"

so Daniil is like "hahha okay madame morphine, bet" and he goes over to see the Kains

talking to Victor Kain, it just so happens that the spirit? ghost? memory? of Nina Kaina has overtaken Victor's body just to be fucking terrifying and to basically imply to Daniil's only alive bc Maria likes him

this, reasonably enough, spooks Daniil the fuck out

getting tf out of there, Daniil goes over to talk to Georgiy Kain, who has been possessed by the Something of Simon fucking Kain, who greets Daniil like a prodigal son, all "This is how I would like my heir to be" what the absolute FFFFUCK that is so fucking creepy

and then Simon is like "anyway just tell the Inquisitor we're all insane and planning to kill ourselves, thanks babyboy"

oh yeah and then on Day 11 (IIRC) Simon and Nina send Daniil a letter like "The time has come, we are waiting for you, we love you 8) 8) 8)" and it's fucking TERRIFYING its SO FUCKING CREEPY

oh yeah x 2 and on the final day it's open to interpretation to a bit but if Daniil talks to Simon/Georgiy before going to the Cathedral, Simon mentions that he won't be inhabiting this form for long, that another option will present itself. WHICH TO ME FEELS LIKE SIMON INTENDS TO BODYSNATCH DANIIL. that this WHOLE THING may have been a long long long con to drag in Daniil Dankovsky to link him to the Kain family with the intention of having a 'proper heir' to Simon.

IT'S ALL JUST SO MESSED UP

I love hbomberguy's pathologic video it's tremendous and has the best base drop/needle drop in history

But I get so annoyed at the ragging on Daniiil as an idiot when ALL OF DAY TEN HAPPENED. LIKE. THAT ALL FUCKING HAPPENED.
