#i thought itd make sense to use the same logic for the others too!

[shkika]

THERE WE HAVE IT! Scugified all of the local group by putting them in the same situation as Sliver or Straw more or less!

These are mostly for fun so I haven't sat down to ponder them too hard hehe hoho

Explanation on their designs below the cut:

The Martyr (LTTM) - He's very tough, more cold resistant and capable of surviving one or two lizard bites even due to his sheer size, which makes him very slow. In addition, kind of like Saint, he is completely passive and cannot kill creatures.

The Prodigy (FP) - Very quick and also fully carnivorous! Her fur is very light so she has to use her food pips in order to glow and warm herself up. Can maul like Artificer while having the strength of Monk. You'll mostly be chasing bat flies with her.

The Sage (SRS) - They are completely blind so you navigate the world and map using your hearing and other senses. It looks like you are in pitch darkness in shaded with the iggy effect when it shows you the surrounding area. You can see every creature on the map that's in the room with you or the next one. She can also make pearls using rocks!

The Nomad (NSH) - Always moving from one area to the next, you can’t rest in the same shelter twice, unless you exit the area and come back. She can also camouflage kind of like white lizards do and crouch move while camouflaged.

The Judge (GW) - The Judge doesn’t ascend every creature. He’s relatively fast and has strong spear throws. If you are killed with the Judge, next cycle the creature will be marked for you on the map at all times. If you ignore the mark The Judge loses karma and vice versa gains one karma if you commit to the kill.

The Acolyte (UI) - He’s small and emits light with which he can befriend certain creatures and gain protection from them! He crawls slower than average and can only carry one item ar a time, because of his missing hand, but jumps higher.

some ??hot?? takes: innocent sin feels more "contemporary" than persona 5 in terms of story. all this wild shit happening simultaneously just feels like looking at the news.

this one probably isn't a hot take, but persona games need to bring back character theme songs. 1) it owns, 2) it might prevent the p4/p5 problem of having Too Many Guys so they barely get the spotlight.

oh persona should stop dripfeeding party members. just introduce them all early and then give them arcs throughout the game. also let social links hook in.

thinking any of nocturne's reason endings are good is really silly. they all suck and are narratively unsatisfying, and all of the reasons are abhorrent. this makes sense for the game but i can't imagine someone thinking any of those endings are the best.

manikins should've been able to get a reason. the demifiend can already fuck with creation by restoring the old world / exploding the universe, he should've been able to force through the manikin reason.

yeah i can see what you mean. actually there are several different points in here let me respond to all of them

i mean, true, but p5 is hilariously modern, they literally use iphones to go to the demon dimension, and forum posts are your sidequests. i get thats not your point though, and it speaks to p2's longevity that its themes are still able to be relevant today. honestly, if p2 was made today, itd work even better with the misinformation age and the rumours theme. this is a tangent, but ive always thought digital devil saga is the most modern relevant smt and it takes its themes to the logical end thats perfectly fitting for the quote unquote new generation of smt, if it was released today it would hit exactly the same. i honestly think if smt was a chronological series with a clear start and end, the dds duology would be a perfect end to wrap up all the themes of the entire series. (that's why i wont rec it to newcomers to smt, but if youve played others and havent played it, you absolutely have to)

true! i mean i dont have any particular takes about theme songs but i think its something id like to see come back for sure.

to an extent yeah. i think p3 works so well because you already have a lot of the party members from the start who are all intertwined with each other and the lore of the story. persona has always worked best with a small cast but p3 works because all of the cast is relevant but they also dont try to act like they all get along perfectly. like, i dont think mitsuru talks to junpei as a friend. and thats normal. it helps make p3 more serious and not just goofy guys on an adventure, if that makes sense. but from a game balancing perspective, kinda tough to make that work lol. i think every party based rpg works like that, but it wouldnt be unreasonable to introduce characters early and then just not let you use them yet sort of like what p3 did with akihiko's broken arm, not being able to use mitsuru until you got another navigator, etc.

yeah, i mean, that's what smt is about. it's about choosing between bad and worse options. law and chaos is no better, really. well...actually no i would argue they are better but thats beside the point. i think i need to say for the record me saying i'm law aligned is a joke and i don't actually believe in anything that law believes, but, hopefully my followers have reading comprehension and can tell that from my blog.

true, but like i was saying before, the point of smt is choosing between bad and worse options, and having one clear good option defeats that purpose. but then again, neutral endings have been a thing in smt forever as the Objectively Good Option so, i guess it doesn't matter. yeah, i agree in-universe lore it would make sense though

Some thoughts Ive had about the handmaids tale hollina au you brought up ages ago but man it would be so good either way. I think itd be so interesting if Holli, as beautiful and, er, voluptious and basically like built for baby making (the wide hips and big breats - sorry if im sound gross im trying to think of it in gilead logic LOL) turns out to be barren. Idk how she'd land in a position as a commanders wife but it'd be such a subversion for her to be the cocky sarcastic woman she is in that position. (I think of serena waterford being all sarcastic about how useless men are in the first season lol). And then youd have Lina who is the sweet pure little bean - what could she have done to land her in the position of handmaid!? I think itd be easier for them to fall into an affair with this dynamic as well - handmaid Lina being submissive to the wife of the household and Holli taking advantage of that. I think thatd be so interesting to explore. But Holli being a stripper/adultress/etc but fertile thus landing as a handmaid and Lina being the perfect image of a wife to a commander sticking to the rules makes a lot more sense if we were to think technically/in-character reality if you threw them in Gilead. Ugh its so hard to choose - I've been thinking about this way too much 🙈 I guess i just wanted to hear more about your thoughts on this au if you have any

I have been in this exact same position for literal MONTHS as well cause DAMN I love both scenarios.

With Holli being the wife, we'd get to see her be absolutely ruthless towards Lina, kinda like Serena towards June. But then Lina might see Holli in a vulnerable position and being as kind as she is offers support and comfort, resulting in them eventually building an odd trust between each other, which would then blossom into love eventually.

I could see Holli not even really wanting a child, and I see her in a really loveless marriage, just as forced upon her as Lina is as a handmaid. I see Holli as this really bitter, unlikable woman whose shell Lina has to spend a lot of time breaking through.

With Lina being the wife, I could see her being so sad to be in the position she's in, heartbroken to watch her husband have sex with another woman in front of her and guilty for being part of a system that regularly rapes women. So she always tries to be kind to Holli, even trying to be her friend, just to provide some sort of comfort. And Holli just wanting absolutely nothing to do with her for, well, obvious reasons.

I could see Holli also viewing Lina as someone really weak, this meek little submissive girl and then, when Holli would get pregnant, I could see a situation where Lina protects Holli from, let's say, an Aunt trying to use that... electrical baton? What's it called? (Please let me know) And Lina would basically FINALLY actually speak up and get angry, and everyone would be in shock cause Lina is this very sweet, meek woman, so no one even knows how to react to hearing her yell at an Aunt.

I guess, while I love both, with Lina being the wife and Holli the handmaid, it gives a pretty cool dynamic shift as wives are usually the dominant ones with handmaids being the submissive ones and to have Holli and Lina, where one is clearly has an overall more aggressive personality than the other in canon, switch dynamics like that would maybe be more interesting.

But, yeah, I love both. I might do both set-ups, and to just make it two short fanfics separate from each other.

Riding on dat Little Nightmares High~~~

(Getting high with my baby~

Getting pie with my baby~)

[Gonna lie to my baby~ IM KIDDING! ]

Since a lot of pple theorize that Little Nightmares is running in a time loop for Mono and Six, it got me thinking about generalized time loop theories that are published in books, articles, and other academic level literatures. Plus in several other movies referring to anything with time. (I would know cuz I've written an English paper that discuss the concept of Time-Travel across various literatures, folklore in other countries, and movies. I got a passing grade for it!)

[Please note I havent researched if other fans already posted something akin to what im about to theorize so I apologize for that - literally writing this before I loose my thought! If u or someone u know has a similar theory, lemme know! Itd be cool to read or listen to wat other fans think!]

My idea is that within each time loop, there's gonna be some things different about the surroundings that were left behind from the previous versions of the characters -i.e. past! Mono and past!Six left something (an item placed somewhere to be found; markings on walls; etc.) For their future selves to encounter in the next cycle.

It could taken as a warning for the characters to be aware of in an attempt to "change their fates designed" (Healing Incantation -Repunzel from Tangled). But no matter what , The Eye will always make sure that Mono and Six will befall to their roles as the Thin Man and The Lady, respectively.

I came to this speculation when I was watching some of GamerSault's YouTube videos about Little Nightmares theories - he included closeups of the world featured in both games and my brain couldn't help but come up with this theory.

Like I'm not specifically referring to the things like an escape rope or a latter or stool to be placed, but akin to the Collectibles that players can find if they explore each area before moving on.

For example, Six finding the miniature porcelain figures of The Lady; Runaway Kid (RK) finding bottles and taking the messages (or pictures) inside. I associate Mono collecting hats from the other children who left them behind or he took from a dead kid - seriously, the boy stole the yellow rain cap from a dead kid trapped in one of The Hunter's cages.

But I do think the Remote Controller Mono finds could be one of those items that his past self placed for him to use. Especially a working Remote Controller in the Pale City that's been warped, distorted, and transformed its inhabitants into hostile Viewers.

U might be thinking that the Thin Man (past!Mono) placed it there or perhaps it was The Eye who did it - either way, the Remote Controller is an item for Mono in the current loop to find and use. Or the Remote just happened to be there and Mono assumed it'd work...for ALL of the TVs in the city...

Realistically, TVs have a specifically remote model that will only work for that screen (unless u get a replacement, then sure). But to use a remote for ALL of the working TVs? Hmm, realm of Little Nightmares where normal logic is warped to fit its cause. Then again, all of the TVs are of the same model so that can be a factor too.

Anyway! It's possible that after the initial loop that Mono as Thin Man found or constructed the Remote that'll work across all screens. If it was The Eye who left it for Mono as a child to find it, then that's that.

Personally, I'd think that Thin Man would leave clues for the next version to find in an attempt to break it. But like I said, The Eye will always make sure that things will go as it's been "fated."

Don't mean he can't try!

As for Six...well, I have something different for her.

I read a post -i cant remember where cuz it was sooooo long ago- about having moments of Deja Vu. From what I remember of the post, one of the reasons u get the sense uve done something vividly the same despite doing it FOR THE 1ST TIME is cuz another version of u has already done it in a previous loop. I believe it does mention the Multi-universe /parallel universe theme too.

I link that with Six's memories - she cant remember but she knows she's seen some terrible things. I can see the logic that she or Shadow!Six is suppressing her memories -defense mechanism, wants to rid them, or that's just how The Eye intends to happen for her.

I watched "Six Lost Memories | Animation " by Pol on YouTube, and it showed that while Six was eating, her eyes were dull, void of anything until Shadow!Six disappears. The light returns to Six eyes and she's hit by a sequence of memories of LN2. Poor girl was crying when she remembered Mono. (Give the girl a hug damnit!)

So how does that relate? I think that every new cycle erases Six's memories, which may explain her amnesia. However, she know she's seen terrible things becuz she felt a sense of deja vu. U can counter with herself or Shadow!Six suppressing them and I can see that possible too.

Unlike the Thin Man, The Lady may not leave hints for Six to find. It could she tried at first -hence the porcelain figures and the sheer amount of music boxes found in LN- but soon gave up after however many cycles she passed thru. It's possible that Six, as she grows up to become The Lady, accepted her fate, her role.

That's all for this post! Lemme know wat yall think!

Gladdest (Soulmate AU)

For this, I’ll be using the soulmate AU where what happens to your soulmate’s body happens to you. I’m not sure who originally came up with this. Basically, how it works, is like, if your soulmate gets punched in the face, you feel like you’ve been punched in the face. If your soulmate dies, you don’t die, but you feel it. Same with broken bones, you’ll feel it, but your arm won’t actually be broken. But not just pain, other stuff. Like if your soulmate cries, you’ll feel it, but you don’t cry unless they’re super heartbroken, or if they get a really good hug you feel it, too. In my version of this AU, the pain and other feeling doesn’t start until you turn sixteen. Imagine how fucked up it would be if that wasn’t the case and you had a partner older than you? Like, while 13-year old Bill gets in a fight, his soulmate, who is only 3, feels the same punches and kicks. It’d be so fucked up.

warnings: nsfw (but no actual sex, just a lot of talking about it [and masturbation] and some sexually tense scenes), the reader nearly has a panic attack (again, i know, sorry. what can I say? I project), & reader has a thing for.... erotic asphyxiation. let me know if i missed anything.

I am very open to writing a part two with smut... I just chickened out with this because I felt it wouldn’t be good writing.

You’d been sixteen for a little while now, and there hadn’t been much contact from your soulmate aside from the occasional feel of a phone falling on your face and smacking it.

It’s the beginning of a new school year at Xavier’s, and you’re pretty thrilled. Your roommate this year is your best friend, Ellie. Okay, not just your best friend, she’s your crush, too. Do I really have to say, at this point?

“Hey,” she greets you, sounding rather sullen as she enters your dorm, where you sit on the edge of your bed.

“What’s up?” you ask.

“I turned sixteen over the summer and I haven’t felt anything to give me a hint. All my soulmate does is cry.”

“All my soulmate does is drop their phone on their face,” you offer a complaint in return, and the two of you lock eyes for a moment, one of realization.

“No,” Ellie says. “No.” She’s bright red, immediately thinking of just how many hot summer nights she was kept up, orgasm after orgasm after orgasm, gasping for breath at the way her soulmate’s fingers curled just right, just fucking right. There’s no way you, her crush and her best friend, were that good.

“No, can’t be,” you agree.

“Could be,” she reminds you.

“It’d make sense,” you admit.

“I hate everyone else but you.”

“We could try to find out,” you suggest.

She pinches herself.

“Ow! Not like that!” You whine, clutching at your arm. “Oh, well, I guess it’s too late th-” Ellie cuts you off with her eyes alone.

“Where does all that energy come from, Y/N?! What are you, the Energizer bunny?! At least three times a night, every night! What the hell?!”

You blush deeply, scratching the back of your neck. You hadn’t exactly expected you’d meet your soulmate anytime soon, or that they’d be bold enough to comment on your habits.

“I dunno, I thought it was normal for kids our age…” you mumble.

“Oh, yeah, well some people like sleeping and not screaming into the pillow because their soulmate has a little too much fun doing the five finger shuffle!”

“Please, louder. I think a few people in Antarctica didn’t hear you,” you retort, looking up at her from where you were sitting with a challenging expression.

“We’ve been friends for all this time and I never knew what a horny bastard you are,” she remarks.

“Well, I’m not the one who was ‘screaming’ in pleasure,” you mutter.

“I heard that!” she says, her expression still adorably indignant.

“If you hated it so much, you should’ve just got those over the counter meds, Antifel or whatever.”

“I- I…” She sighs. “Yeah, I didn’t hate it that much,” she admits, and you smile a bit. “But I wasn’t a fan of the choking,” she adds, gesturing at your scarf, your favorite one that she never would’ve guessed hides the bruises from where you’ve choked yourself with a belt, at least not before. “I’m more of a choker than a ‘chokee’, but, I guess that’d be obvious, wouldn’t it? Considering we’re soulmates and all.”

You nod, your eyes now on your lap, the floor, her tee shirt, the lamp in the corner, anything that isn’t her eyes, and she smirks.

“Oh, so now you’re shy?”

“A little,” you quietly reply, and she sits next to you on your bed.

“Let’s cool down,” she offers. “We’ve just seen each other after months of purely texting and the occasional phone call.”

“Thanks,” you respond, finding it easier to breathe.

“Why were you crying so much?” Ellie asks, addressing her original observation.

“Just depressed and lonely and stuff. I don’t have friends in my hometown, not like you.”

“You’ll always have me,” she says. “I mean it.”

“I’d hope so, soulmate,” you laugh off the seriousness of the conversation, and she sighs, looking to your eyes with her own soulful ones.

“I’m glad it’s you,” she tells you.  “I don’t think I’d be able to stand anyone else.”

“Yeah, right!” you huff out a laugh, confused at her sudden emotional openness. Sure, she was more honest about her feelings with you than anyone else, but that didn’t mean that she was a completely open book. Who was?

“You’re not disappointed, are you?” Ellie wonders because of your remark.

“God, no! I- I actually have a really big crush on you,” you admit.

“Yeah?” she asks, the cutest little grin on her face, you know the one. “I have a crush on you, too.”

You blush again.

“Sorry… I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable, I’m not very good at flirting or anything like that. I don’t really care about much of anyone at all, and you’re definitely the only person I’ve really cared about in a romantic way, so…”

“No, it’s not that! I- You- You being really good at flirting is what’s got me like this. And the fact that I’m a dork who’s really bad at flirting contributes,” you explain.

“I am? Good at flirting, I mean.”

“Well, with me, at least,” you tell her.

“Um… Sorry if it’s lame to ask, but… Can I kiss you?”

“Of course! And it’s not lame to ask at all, El, I appreciate it actua- Mmf!”

You could live forever in the feeling of her lips on yours, her hands oh-so carefully holding your cheeks.

“Sorry,” she shyly says, as she slowly pulls away from you, looking in your eyes. “I’ve just been wanting to do that for a really, really long time. Pretty much since we met, actually.”

“R-really?” you ask, a bit breathless and definitely still flustered.

“Yeah, you’re perfect. In, like, every way. It’s the worst and the best.”

“I’m perfect?! But you’re- You’re you!” you argue, and she shakes her head, rolling her eyes. “I’m so lucky.”

“No, I’m the lucky one,” she disagrees.

“We can both be lucky,” you tell her, and she sighs.

“I suppose that’s a good compromise,” she decides. “So, what should we do before dinner? We’ve got a couple hours to kill, but I don’t think either of us has much more to say that wouldn’t be repetitive or… Something.” She blushes again, cheeks bright pink.

You blush back, reminded that she knew all about you and the things you did to yourself behind doors. “R-right,” you reply. Hey, you may be a horny motherfucker, but that doesn’t make you any less of a bottom.

“Can I see?” she asks, touching at your scarf. You nod, and she unwraps the scarf. She carefully touches the spotted bruises with her fingers. “With the belt you’re wearing?”

You can’t even speak. You nod, and the ghost of a smile graces her face before she just barely presses her lips to the bruises closest to her, on the side of your neck. Your hand quickly grabs her bicep tightly, and she stops, looking to you with concern.

“I’m so sorry, I got a bit carried aw-”

“No, no, it’s good, I’m just… Sensitive there,” you admit, and one of the biggest smiles you’ve seen her wear is on her lips.

“Yeah?” she asks, taking her crossbody bag off of her shoulder and opening it. She takes out a bottle of Antifel pills. “How sensitive?”

“Oh God, um… I- Um…” Your nerves are really getting to you, and your breathing gets heavier as you stare at the bottle. This is really happening. It’s really happening. You’d always wanted to, especially with her, but now that it’s a reality, you feel on the brink.

Ellie can recognize that look in your eyes, and it’s a look she’d hoped she’d never be the cause of.

“Shit, Y/N. What’s going on? Talk to me.”

“I- Um, I just- I want to? But I- I just- I don’t know, it’s just getting really hard to breathe, and uh, not in a hot way,” you joke nervously.

“Hey, you can want to and not be ready to right this minute. We haven’t even been on a date yet, okay? I’m really sorry if I made you feel like you had to do anything you didn’t want to,” Ellie tells you, and she feels immensely guilty either way.

“No! I liked you kissing me, especially where you did, but, you’re right. We should probably adjust to the news and put a label on whatever this is before we do anything too serious.”

Ellie nods. “You always were the more logical one. I’ll put these in the medicine cabinet and we can just… Talk about stuff, like we always do.”

“But with more kissing and cuddling, I hope?” you request, and she nods, going to put the bottle away before returning to find you bundled up in her comforter. “It’s so cozy…” you practically sing, at least to her.

“This is a dream,” she sighs happily, slipping off her shoes and joining you in her bed. You spoon her side, and she hums in content, stroking your hair.

“You’re in a good mood,” you comment. Ellie is not a very cheerful person, at least not openly. So, to see her like this was surprising.

“Yeah, of course I am. It’s you. It’s really you. I’ve never been happier in my life,” she says, having really been hit with the fact that you’re her soulmate. All hers. “All mine…” she hums.

“You really know how to make a girl feel special… I mean it. I’m really not all that.”

“Please be my girlfriend,” she requests.

“Only if you’ll be mine,” you reply, and she scoffs.

“I think that’s how that works, babe.”

Your heart skips a beat and you stare at her in wonder.

“Sorry for not asking if pet names were okay…It’s just something I like, it’s really stupid.”

“No, I really like it, hence the dumb stare and the lack of breathing.”

She chuckles, holding you tighter. You smile with her, glad that she’s happy.

“I hope you don’t feel like you have to over-exaggerate how happy you are. It’s okay if you’re not ridiculously happy about finding your soulmate.”

“Oh, no, I’m as happy as I sound. I’m, uh, definitely a textbook case of Lesbian That’s A Grumpy Bitch Til She Gets A Girlfriend. But then again, I’ll probably just be a significantly less grumpy bitch to everyone but you, sorry.”

“I don’t mind, I like you being your bitchy self,” you reply, being rewarded with a kiss placed atop your head that sends tingles dancing down your body. “Mm… I like that.”

“Good,” Ellie responds. “I’m glad.”

“I’m gladder,” you tease.

“I’m gladdest...”

(1/2) i understand bbc wanting to get like as much money as possible and while i'd like for them to livestream/post videos/etc. of the events like as soon as digital copies get involved then the stuff becomes v easy to pirate/distribute to ppl who havent paid and bbc rlly needs to get their money back lmao. also the fact that like loona is a korean group so obv promoting/having events in koreas gonna be the priority. theyre already going above and beyond by subbing all loona tv eps for us

(i lied its 2/3) and also making sure all their captions/descriptions on youtube and ig are translated in english, etc. and i get that international fans are contributing a lot to loona's popularity but at the same time like we're rlly not entitled to much bc again theyre a korean group their objective is gonna be korea. like along this sort of line of thinking itd be like for p much all groups korean fans get way more access to fanmeetings/live performances than international fans

(im a liar! 3/4) but also that all being said personally i dont like the idea of having tons of exclusive content u have to pay for bc like the logic is that if ppl truly stan a group theyll make time to go to the event/shell out the money tho thats like.. just not how the world works and there are a lot of other factors that go into who can access these kind of things BUT in this capitalist shithole of a world i guess its one of the best ways for bbc to get their money back bc they spent a lot 

(4/4 for real now) but also at the same time like in a way i feel like it still doesnt quite make sense for bbc to do that rn bc like loona still isnt super well known so tbh publicly releasing all this esp the world-building/loonaverse content would be better for like attracting new fans and making loona gain popularity imo. so i guess im fine w the events happening but i wish bbc would release the videos they show. also lmao srry i didnt realize i had so many thoughts this is an essay now oops

i needed like 10 minutes to read this but i absolutely agree because this mirrors a lot of what i was thinking too... like you said it makes total sense for them to have important stuff happen in korea just like any other kpop group but at the same time with loona the stuff that happens is a little bit more monumental (everything that happens w loona is monumental tbh) because theres international fans who’ve been here since heejin and i guess having the first ot12 event and the debut concert both in an exclusive kind of space is a bit of a let down but bbc really don’t have any other choice? 

loona arent that well known as of yet but there’s already so much going on with them.. bbc were recording line & up for sure but i guess it makes sense to release the copies of it much much later so that they can get their money back i suppose?? it just feels as though a lot of people are excluded from the whole ~loonaverse~ thing which they’re so evidently trying to push (i mean did you read jaden jeongs whole interview thing that was a LOT) when a lot of the theories on twitter are based on those 144p leaked videos which have sparked a lot of interest so yeah i just dont know what they’re trying to do but i trust them and hopefully they release some of the stuff soon! (like they basically released the yyxy thing they showed at line and up busan so)

bbc did spend a lot and yes they do the Most for int fans with the subs and translations and i think thats really good of them bc it makes it a lot easier to gain int fans so i think thats great !

The day that never happened.

"Grabbing action burger and going back to the house."

You said.

I looked up, you were talking to your friend on the phone. I walked with you, confused because the distance between us felt off.

Like if i put my hand in yours i'd be doing something wrong. You looked at me, "you okay?" I nodded and smiled.

There was no way, i was back here.

We walked inside the restaurant and ordered food. Waited around talking about the games in action burger.

If we'd been dating you would have already challenged me to one of these. But you didn't. We just stood there talking about it. I felt myself yearning to play something with you like i used too. Like I always wanted too.

You were staring at your phone and suddenly I felt myself panic.

Had I just imagined 3 years of my life with you?

Was this 2015? Was I back where I started?

We got our food and i watched you walk out. I was stunned. My heartbeat picking up pace, i reached into my pocket and pulled out...

My fucking slide phone? MY FUCKING SLIDE PHONE?!

I sighed heavily. And followed you out.

The first text messages were to my ex. Who i assumed now is still my boyfriend.

Maybe I should break up with him right now, i trailed behind you. Maybe I should text him that im picking up my shit from his house and tell you everything.

Everything I knew. Everything I felt. Maybe I should just speed up the process.

"I just think its shitty that she felt she couldn't tell me her actual plans. Go back with your ex? Fine, i mean fuck you, but fine. At least tell me."

You were talking about Zel. I quickly changed my thought pattern and agreed with you.

"She never holds herself accountable. Its my least favorite thing about her." I said. And then coughed out, "but she also doesn't realize whats happening. Thats a cage shes locked in, that island you know? And if she gets out, and sees the real world i am positive she'll fall in love with it here. I did. And your the perfect person to show her around."

I swallowed the lump in my throat

You coughed, "if she ever even comes out here."

I smiled against my breaking heart, "she will."

I have to go home to this fucking predator.

I closed my phone and put it back in my pocket.

"I dont want to go upstairs." I said, stopping halfway through the door of the building.

You looked at me "what? Why?" I backed out of the door. And sat on the steps in front of the apartments.

I imagine you stared at the audience for a moment before deciding to come and sit with me outside.

"Everything okay?" You asked and I looked at you. And your short hair and aloof eyes and confused eyebrows and i knew that i wanted to cry so badly but instead i laughed.

I laughed so hard and so full and so painfully bthat im sure your reaction was the same as id imagined itd be had i just started crying right there.

"What?" You asked and i laid my head on my knees and looked out at the street.

"Can we go to the park?"

"But...our food?"

I nodded. "We'll bring it with us. But please, will you go to the park with me?"

You were about to try to convince me otherwise and i sat up and turned towards you.

"I know, im not a person to you. Im just your friends girlfriend and the best friend of a girl you may be in love with. I know that and i respect that. But please, indulge me tonight because its going to be a looooong few years before anything makes sense again, for any of us."

You stared at me for so long and i saw in your face the idea that i might be crazy.

I sighed and stood up. I crinkled my nose and smiled before reaching my hand out to you, "just indulge me."

You sighed. And did not grab my hand. Instead you stood up and we began to walk.

Not a person. Right.

I swallowed the following three lumps in my throat and kept pace with you.

I wondered if you were thinking of ways to turn me down in case i came on to you. I wondered how uncomfortable you were.

I wondered how curious you were.

I wondered if anything i was about to do would make sense.

I wondered why god was so cruel to make me relive this.

"Piece of shit." I whispered.

You reacted but not for me to acknowledge. I was sure you were about to turn around and go home and leave me on that street. But then suddenly we were at the park.

We both stopped before touching the grass. Something about it felt wrong. We both knew what it was but i didnt care. I needed to get to the water to calm down.

I pointed at the rocks i wanted to sit on.

"My anxiety stops there." I said.

"Okay." You responded and began walking. I followed but caught up and kept pace so you wouldn't think i was planning to kill you.

I know how your brain works. Its similar to mine.

We made it to the rocks. I sat.

So did you.

I stared at the city across the water. I felt the breeze and kept trying to inhale.

I felt safe here.

"Ice. Whats up?"

I smiled and looked up, "the sky."

"I...what?" Your voice was confused but still trying to be friendly.

I looked at you again.

But my voice was caught in what to say next so i went back to staring out at the water.

So you spoke,

"I don't think you aren't a person. While yes you are my friends girlfriend and i respect that, i do NOT think your not a person, you're actually the only girl friend i like of his, and the only person who's really believed in who i am as a person."

I smiled. "There's that charm."

Then the tears began.

They just fell and I just stared out into the river.

"Do you want a hug?" You asked.

God i did.

But no.

"No. Im okay," i laughed, i just didn't think i could actually come back to this time."

"What do you mean?"

I looked at you, "you'll call me crazy if i explain."

You chuckled, "i've had my fairshare of crazy. Go ahead."

I sighed because i knew you, and i knew your crazy and who would i be if i dumped all of that on you this soon.

But i couldn't just not say anything. Not now.

I already brought us here.

I found a building to stare at while i made probably the wildest statement to the most logical man i knew.

"What would you say if i told you that 5 years from now we'd be in a global pandemic, and you and i would be quarantined together in a 2 almost 3 year relationship?"

I stared, as hard as i could at one window of that building.

You cleared your throat.

But i spoke, "i know it sounds insane. Like a conspiracy but what if i told you that you wont always be angry at everyone and you won't die on anyones couch because i refused to let you go, even when you were sure we werent good for each other."

You shifted but didnt say anything

"How would you react if i told you that because my current boyfriend is a piece of shit predator and YOU ALWAYS knew this but i dont actually find out until he cheats on me 2 years from now, you took me under your wing and we became more than just friends."

The tears were streaming and i was losing my breath. It was becoming hard to think.

"How...

How unfair is this world that im back where i began. When i finally found you." I said and that was it. I was silently crying into my knees wishing i'd never been born.

I felt you scoot next to me.

"I know i sound crazy. Im sorry." I said and laughed a bit at myself for even trying.

You were silent so i looked up from my knees and at you. I wiped my eyes and saw you staring out at the buildings too.

"I don't know how to answer that." You said.

I nodded, "i dont expect you too."

You looked at me and i wondered if you could see the need in my eyes.

"Was this a dream?"

You asked me that and i laughed, "it was more like a chaotic fairytail but it was you."

"Why me?" You asked and i couldnt help but get that familiar kanye esque feeling from you.

"BECAUSE KANYE," i emphasized, "we fell in love."

I closed my eyes to stop the next flow of tears. You noticed.

You touched my back and said "hey."

I looked at you.

"Then i'll see you in two years."

I smirked, i could tell you were only trying to make me feel better because i probably sounded insane to you. I nodded in agreement. A tear still falling, you removed your hand from my back and wiped it off my cheek.

I wondered if that meant you believed me.

But i could be strong for two years, for you.

" this conversation never happened." I said, pulling out my phone to figure out a way home.

"What conversation."

And then i woke up.
