The Show Must Go On

Huh.

...it's over.

...You've done it.

...Why don't you feel accomplished?

You, slayer of demons.

You saved... well, everyone.

...so why does it feel like a statistic to you?

You gaze out, over the rotten, sludge and garbage filled wastes below- but not before briefly losing your balance on the pole you cling to and damn near having a heart attack...

...It's supposed to be over.

It is over.

You killed her.

...are you not proud? Not proud of yourself?

You put an end to it.

All of it.

And yet, watching her fur char and wither as her lifeless body went up in flames on that bonfire...

...You felt nothing.

Not a thought crossed your mind, not even after all left the procession.

All but you.

And now, here you stand- or, rather, hang- as you feel just as lost as you already were.

Yu hear a deep, rumbling growl from the skies, booming down upon you, your ears automatically pinning back against your skull.

You know what to do.

You waste no time flinging yourself off of the pole you dangle from, precariously landing on another- before toppling over and landing face-first in the mud.

It appears your expertise has not helped much for your proficiency in survival.

Anyhow, you slither through the small entry shaft, small whirrs and clanks of ancient mechanisms ringing through your sensitive eardrums as you fall, slipping deeper through the cramped, claustrophobic pipe, until-

Pop.

You slide out from the exit shaft and land neatly on your feet.Well, you're better at something, at least.

The shelter looks the same as all the others. Cracked and old... it looks as if it barely holds up. And yet, strangely, it does.

A small, pitiful fire pit sits in the middle of the shelter. It is truly miraculous that fire is even possible in this humid environment, even down here, deep below the surface.

You know the drill.

You walk over to the center, seating yourself by the miniscule, ashen pile of charred wood and blackened rubbish...

You could barely even call it a fire pit.

Small pieces of rock-like junk encircle a small collection of flammable material bathed in swathes of ash... You wonder if it can even be lit anymore.

Despite your skepticism, you retrieve a small pouch from your belt...

One that your mother had passed down to you from many years past...

...and took a pinch of fine, red powder from the hide-fashoned strap.

Sprinkling it upon the shoddy, burnt splinters of wood, you lean down, blowing on it softly, sparking a couple small embers- and slowly, but surely, kindling the ash just barely and bringing the flickers of flame to life.

Though small, the fire still burned. Begging to be fanned and given life.

You lean back, propping your arm up on your knee...

...and you finally understand.

You don't feel unworthy, nor unaccomplished.

Simply resigned. Understanding that even after all that has came before you... the show goes on.

The cycle continues, it simply must.

For it is all you know.

@thunder-opossum Had an idea and decided to put it on paper. It's 2 am, so I doubted it was gonna be great, but I needed to put my idea to a use of some kind, and I'm on a bit of a writing kick rn.

Context for the weird fire thing at the end:

A head canon of mine is that Slugcats have a tradition. At the end of every cycle, they ignite a small fire, signifying their ideology of continued survival, even if they're just prolonging the inevitable. The world may be a dying ember by this time, but it is there- and albeit without purpose, surviving is all they know.

The red powder is my interpretation of the weird red stuff Arti puts on grenades to make them explosive. Considering other Slugcats can craft explosives, I took it as some sort of universal thing that all of them had, especially for the weird fire-shelter-tradition thingy.

Also, referring to Sizzle in the second person.

p.s. probably also there's some symbolism with how Arti was burned and how the fire represents the cycle and survival and the world and how Arti was consumed by the cycle but I'm not smart enough to understand it

What is one controversial opinion that will get you jumped , whether it be a certain wiki character , the wiki itself , (maybe the Heykids wiki too itself if you wanna count that in ) , or just anything about the fandom that you wish to see improvement on 🤔🧐

[growling]

April 12th: What are some social rules that you don't understand? Talk about it.

[me going to google and to the tag to find out what social rules are there]

uhh i guess stimming/moving weird in public (who cares)

nudity in public (who cares. it's a body)

there's also those table rules like "no hands on the table" but i don't think anyone i know even cares about that either

treating authority as inherently above you and honestly most of the stuff with authorities like idc who are you

whatever "dressing appropriately" entails. i will not do that

anything to do with doing things in private when nobody sees you because like why would anyone even care then why is this a thing

tipping, why would this be required at all i don't even know

not looking at your phone when someone is speaking, or just more broadly not looking at someone who is speaking. like if you know im listening to you. whats your problem. you are nothing

honestly like half the stuff with interacting with people like what. especially when it's appropriate to make jokes, which kinds of jokes, how far should they go, how honest a person is when they're "just joking" with you and to which degree they're actually joking and. what

having to pretend and lie that i care about something and sympathize when someone tells me about something that's bad or whatever, especially if me and the person im conversing with aren't even close like at all. i will be polite to you but why should i care about your grandpa getting blown away by the wind never to be found 2 years ago i don't know who your grandpa is whether he's dead or alive is irrelevant to me entirely. i mean i won't straight up just say that to them but. ehhh :( awkward

having to greet people when entering a room when i got no intention of interacting with them. im not doing that. i gotta save my voice. i don't care about you people

talking about menstruation being taboo. i mean i can kinda get why sex talk is taboo even if i don't agree cause we live in a prude society or whatever but. periods??? why do we hate people who menstruate so much

probably not all of them but pretty much the gist of it lol

[hogletthe2nd]

hihiii im one of the 5 ppl and will take ANYTHING ^_^ ive had a raging hyperfixation on this movie for too long and the lack of content is driving me INSANE the amount of times i check this tag daily is embarrassing

¡ ALSO wanna talk abt the movie but i might flood the tag >_<*

as one of the 5 ppl here i would rily like 2 hear abt smile au :D u have rlly good theories and analyses on the movie so!!! :D

srry this isn’t technically an actual question too nervous to comment or reblog w my name for now…

Do NOT be afraid to flood the tags sorry. We r maximum 5 ppl and back when it was literally 3 I’d make posts pretty often. Did I annoy others maybe but I wanna talk about my girl so idc EH 🤑

When I first got into this fandom I checked the tag so often for art it was a bit..crazy.

So a lot of my smile 2/skye Riley AUs are very unfinished. Because when I got into it I was hyper, and made a few..then never finished them.

If anything doesn’t make sense sorry. I’ll figure it out myself, or figure it out through questions.

I mentioned fankid, I kinda hate his old name so he doesn’t have one currently. I’ll discuss him later.

A lot of things in this AU are the same. I’d say the biggest difference is the fankid, and the timeline. Along with no entity,(It does appear in another au though).(She catches a break for now).

I’m gonna rant under the cut to save from long post.

Skyes still an addict. Her and Paul get into that crash. He dies, she goes to rehab. She stays at rehab for six months, then goes to a sober living home for ehhh a year.

This is because most rehabs keep you for a few days to months. My mom personally went to a rehab for a few weeks, before going to a sober living home for a year + few months.

Because Skye is extra fucked up, and definitely tries to reuse. She’s in there for longer before going to a sober living house.

Now a month into that rehab she has her son. Who she doesn’t keep and gives away. This was partly her choice but also not? I don’t think she has much free will tbh. Her mom probably influenced her decision somewhere.

Just a bit tho, as she knew if she kept a baby she’d be bald come next month.

After getting out of rehab, and sober living her mom wants her to go on tour ofc. Not only has she not really gotten over her trauma, she’s also thinking about idk the KID she gave away. She feels bad but is also afraid Gemma, or the media could find out and be up her ass even more.(Talking media, Gemma would be more concerned).

But surprisingly the tour goes fine, and the au mostly centers way more into the future. Where her son is grown, and a tattoo artist underground. Along with Skyes life.

That’s the good ending, canonically he dies young. And another b comes after Skye, and they have a fist fight in her home. That I’ll talk about..uh..later.

I left out a key detail in this au for fun cus I’m crazy. Real hogo fans know…

(Her and Gemma do get in contact at some point I’d think. Does she tell her about abandoned kid? No probably not. Yes this does backfire.)
