#it was. Not intentionally a hewwo obama joke istg

[nomsfaultau]

Okay so after the last repost I just have to ask. What the hell happened to fault!Ranboo? I am not reading the fic for mental health concern reasons (concerned about the fact that I'll be absolutely devastated and cry and die). But this is just- what the fuck happened?

Totally fair to skip, Fault gets very intense. There was a little side story called What Happened in the Cavern in which Ranboo escapes the Foundation and hides in a cave system. Except it starts to flood and they're trying to escape the water because it's like acid to them. Lawrence, a side character, encounters them on his honey moon with his wife Maria. Ranboo has the slight problem of mindlessly attacking anyone who looks in his eyes, and auto knows where the person who looked at him is if their eyes are open. And obviously Mariah looks. So Ranboo rips out their eye of ender to teleport into a mindless rampage (tho it does grow back). Then blind + feral Ranboo is hunting them down while Lawrence is desperately trying to guide Mariah out with her eyes squeezed shut. Very horror monster vibes.

They get cornered, Ranboo claws through Mariah's eyes and she's super duper dead. Ranboo snaps out of the state and is pretty horrified, keeps apologizing to Lawrence.

Ranboo: Is there anything I can do? To help?

Lawrence: yes. die.

And then Lawrence proceeds to trick Ranboo into going feral and holds Ranboo down in the flooded cave water, causing their body to dissolve in an incredibly gruesome death. He's left with their skull and his wife's corpse and just kinda sits there vacantly until the Foundation shows up.

.....so technically it's all a big hewwo obama joke? Given the flooding, 'then perish' etc....
