the nature of the diseased, pt. 3

@hallowed-nebulae

The Radiant Nightmare knows that there is something wrong with her. But there is nothing she can do about it.

Her tail curls about her multiple limbs, the change in form somehow less frightening than the change in mindset.

Because she thought with 'I' once, didn't she? But now the 'I' has become 'she' and her thoughts are her thoughts, instead of my thoughts.

Something has changed and she doesn't know what.

"You continue to chase my vessel."

The nightmare forces eyelids into existence so she can use them to blink slowly (and warily) at the unicorn masked...man.

Not a man, but the shape of one, so man will do. For now.

Radiant Nightmare does not see the mask with eyes, she just feels it. A hum of a tune, a whisper of robes. Senses beyond the human mind that was once hers.

"I do not chase them," she states firmly. "I...they go where my past goes, so I follow."

The mask tilts in her direction, the eyes underneath no doubt staring into the core of her.

"You are chained by your past."

Literal chains flicker into life, on her wrists, at the mention of 'chains.' With some effort, the Radiant Nightmare forces herself not to think about them. Because they are always there, but much like a Game many once played, she only loses herself to enchainment when she recalls they exist.

She flicks her tongue in one of three mouths. Hm, maybe she should close some of those up, man-shaped Others often don't like the reminders of exactly inhuman they all are. Inside and outside.

Though he may be Light, and her Dark.

Wrists free. Free of...don't think. Act.

"Are you going to do something about it?"

The unicorn man taps at his arms. "Is there something you want me to do about it?"

No.

"Not from you. Never from you," she states firmly. Her scales rise, her fins fan out.

"Some things cannot be broken. Like certain connections. You would know, huh? Between you and your Master."

Something shifts in the shadow that isn't. Because just then, she realizes that the one who stands before her has no shadow at all. Just the light halo of one standing directly under an eclipse.

In a world without a sun. With only stars.

"He is my Master no more, though he tries to claim the past is all that matters. Much like you."

She can't help but laugh. A mere nightmare that shouldn't exist, anything like the Master of Masters? Give her a break!

Her entire body shifts and wiggles under her laughter, shifting all colors under the judging Light.

"Oh, he and I think very differently. About what past means."

After all.

He wants to save the World, doesn't he? Make it into something that he wants to see.

As for herself...

(I will break the worlds. To make them happy again.)

Ive said this before but swear the biggest skill to learn as an adult is how to resist high-pressure sales tactics. You do NOT have to answer questions with anything other than "Sorry I'm not interested." No matter how nice they are or no matter how many follow up questions they ask or even how agitated they get when you stand your ground. Just keep saying I'm not interested. Don't answer their questions. Don't give them an opening to try to push back on your reasons. Be a fucking brick wall of I'm not interested.

not romantic not platonic but a secret third thing [what would happen between earth and the moon if the earth stopped spinning as illustrated by xkcd randall munroe]

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????

I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.

Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?

people are saying do it scared, but you also gotta do it alone. you'll miss out on so much you want to do if you wait til someone will do it with you. do it scared and do it alone.
