@spiinsparks​ : [ stumble ]  –  for the sender’s muse to catch and help the receiver’s muse keep balance. (Looks @ surge yknow the energy of when he protected her from metal yea that but she’s actually awake)     /     accepting.

SHE HATES SONIC SHE HATES SONIC SHE WANTS SONIC DEAD SHE’S TERRIFIED OF SONIC BUT —

But she hates Eggman more.

As she hated Starline more / he and Eggman are merging together in her battered fucking brain, and the distinction feels increasingly meaningless — if Starline fucked with her body trying to BUILD SOMETHING, Eggman feels more interested in TAKING IT APART.

She’s not processing / there’s been little processing since the monstrous doctor decided to REPOSSESS HIS PROTEGE’S TOOL; there’s just been panic and horror and empty threats and the shattered remains of her sanity splicing between rage and terror.  There’s just been tests and fragments and Eggman doesn’t even bother to make her forget.  

—— At first she’d tried to keep track of the days — there’s no windows in the lab — and then simply tests — but they blur together, the day he opened her up to check the machinery melting into the time he saw how many volts she could survive into the day he killed her just to see how quickly she’d come back.  Now there’s nothing but the repetition pounding in her skull, AGAIN.   AGAIN.  AGAIN.  AGAIN.  THERE’S NO ESCAPE.  IT NEVER STOPS.  IT NEVER STOPS.  IT NEVER STOPS.  I WILL NEVER BE SAFE.  THEY WILL ALWAYS FIND A WAY TO HURT ME.

(  when she came to after another round of tests, another round of opening her up and seeing what makes her tick, to sonic tearing the restraints off her wrists, she’d hallucinated starline in his place, come to take his weapon home — and screamed so loud that the badniks had come not far behind.  )

She hates Sonic, and she’s afraid of Sonic, but she’s far more afraid of mad doctors who want to test and break and build — and she’s too weak to fight, and she knows that, even past her pride.  So she’d gone with him, once her panic had settled enough to see him, once she’d stopped trying to disappear into the lab’s corner.  He’s had to do most of the fighting as they escape and she HATES THAT, but she can barely keep standing — she stays near the wall, using it to keep her upright.  Her body screams with every step — her mind breaks with every second.  Her vision glitches into some new horror around every body — Eggman, or Starline, or both, or herself.  

KEEP MOVING, DON’T BE WEAK.  JUST KEEP MOVING.

“We’re almost outta here,” Sonic assures her, and she barely hears it, staring forward, eyes bleary, legs trembling — hands trembling — DON’T BE FUCKING WEAK, SURGE.

‘You can hardly help it,’ either Starline or Eggman says, the weapon - girl too exhausted to bother parsing which — the sound, so near her ears, hissing, feels like a GUN GOING OFF — she jerks forward with a low cry, stumbling forward — eyes squeeze shut, prepared to hit the ground; instead, someone catches her.

Her eyes snap open, huge, and she sees — Kit, then Starline — it isn’t until she’s nearly jerked out of his arms that she realizes it’s Sonic.  She pushes up and away from him, stumbling this time into the wall, and manages to catch herself against it.  His eyes are wide, but she can’t read his expression.  Her teeth grit.  DON’T BE WEAK.

“‘M fine,” the tenrec spits, voice raw from disuse and screaming.  She stares down at her hospital gown, at the blood on the edges.  Anything’s better than looking at HIM — or whatever far worse monster her mind will replace him with.

She hates Sonic.  BUT HE’S NEVER KILLED HER JUST TO SAY HE COULD.

“I can walk.  Let’s get the fuck out of here.”

Some people just slip your mind, some people are everywhere you look. A grey countertop in the lounge looks just like the countertop in your friends apartment. Now suddenly you’re recalling him leaning on it and attempting to touch noses with his cat, just like when you smelled cigarette smoke while leaving a store or seeing his favorite restaurant outside of town

Although Fairies appear humanoid in nature, they actually have a more pure form unseen by the naked eye. This is because Humans lack the ability to perceive anything beyond the fourth dimension. Given enough magic, a Fairy can manifest their true form onto all planes of existence.

This is usually not recommended, as seeing a Fairy's purest form can cause madness. A Fairy should only use their pure form when necessary, such as containing uncontrollable wishes, or high quantities of magic. Especially since there's heavy drawbacks and sacrifices to manifesting one's pure form.

Y'ALL. Y'ALL so for a long time I've believed that "the sun" in Meursault's story is Carmen, and I went to check Hell's Chicken's dialogue to see exactly how he said that he'd dealt with distortions before, and... you know what else he said?

To my knowledge, it is a phenomenon where an individual morphs into a form often unfit to be considered “human”. It has no known causes, and the appearances were all different.

Unfit to be considered human.

Meursault, who, in his book, was judged by the court to be soulless.

Meursault, who has EGO for Cyborgs who have been so mutilated they barely act like people anymore; a murderer who was experimented on until ceasing to be human; a sheep named after Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, a novel about the humanity of androids and the inhumanity of humans; and now a rose that can't help its bloodsucking nature, based on Carmilla, a vampire whose story emphasized the duality between her vampiric traits and her human ones.

Meursault, who answered Heathcliff's ironic question of if he had metal for brains like this:

I'm placing my bets now, that line from Hell's Chicken is foreshadowing for Meursault's canto even more than "I have witnessed a number of [distortion] cases in the past" was
