Posts that are so VALShrue. to me.

fucked my entire day up thinking about an undead person intentionally inhaling and exhaling while holding or sleeping beside someone they love even though they don't need to because the motion and sound of breath makes them feel safe and secure

haven’t you heard? families are made when we take off our shirts and breathe lies into eachothers mouths

[wheekingpig]

it’s so sad that VAL can’t see shrue’s corpse, they look exactly like the towns VAL left in her wake, so thoroughly, unrecognizably decimated, all splattered blood and cartilage against the wall, it’s as if there was never a person there at all, just an artful display of contextless violence where any meaningful origin has been written away

I opened the floor for requests for tsv art, and here I deliver @idislikethissite @spectralanomally @unbloodiedmartyr

Oh

So a bit ago the silt verses discord group discussed like ‘duo names’ and we didn’t get that far but I would like to use them as tags so:

- twin mouths: Carpenter & Faulkner

- Ranefall: Faulkner & Rane (not romantic not platonic but a secret third thing)

(We never landed on a definitive one for Hayward and Paige)

Additional popular ship that I gotta mention is ofcourse:

- ValShrue: Val x Shrue

[deermouth]

i don't really understand the appeal of valshrue AND i don't get the appeal of most of the "ranefall" stuff. wish i felt more like i could talk in the silt verses server i'm in, but, alas,

Carson: Are you sure, though, Shrue? I mean, how can you be certain that you had a family before last week, when Val invented them for you?

if val had created shrue’s family, which I am inclined to believe, I think about shrue forsaking their rights to personhood when becoming a politician, becoming an idol, melting into the system. with VAL, also, forsaking her right to personhood, becoming the system itself, the very narrative that, to function, must be run off of lies. thinking about val being the one person to know shrue most intimately, an inhuman saint that created their family, created something so intricate and so delicate as a family. how that family is one of the many romantic perversions that worm their ways into the narrative, a narrative that continues to reject romance, where it keeps occurring in twisted intrusions forced upon the characters. it’s cold and calculated, romance, something to keep you docile, your family, their safety, on the line to prevent any meaningful change to the society you live under. fabricated by a barely-human thing constructed by power and fueled by the hatred of her own mother. in the end, it leaves shrue a person built of fabrications, puzzle-pieces in the wrong places, with the minutia of their life known only by a war-saint.

But I have promises to keep—and miles to go before I sleep.

I couldn't stop thinking about VAL listening to Shrue's radio speech when she confronts Carson, and wondering just how many times she listened back to that recording while waiting for him. Did it bring her some comfort, to listen to someone else's last words as she waited to speak her own? Did she feel a little less alone, keeping company with another ghost that hasn't realised it's already dead?
