Something unto death

[niftai]

just a man and his pet dog

[b1adie]

regardless of whatever canon turns out to be, i really enjoy the idea that both robin and firefly approached gallagher and asked him to get his weird creature to kill them in front of someone else. he’s not sure why they know about it, or why they want that, but he’s fascinated that TWO women approached him in one day asking him to sic his fucked up dog on them.

firefly: hey. see that person with the grey hair over there? the one i was just on a date with? i need you to summon the beast and have it brutally murder me in front of them. like, really brutal. make it look like it hurts. maybe toss my fatally injured body at them afterwards. can you do that for me?

gallagher: (thinking of how robin asked him to do pretty much the same thing like 6 hours ago) you kids these days sure have some weird hobbies. sure what the heck why not

with the idea that something unto death is basically gallagher's dog i'm now imagining a little something where asta and arlan are walking peppy and they find their new neighbor gallagher walking his dog (giant eye monster with a leash around its neck) in the neighborhood. and when asta asks him what breed the "dog" is, he says "oh, he's mostly retriever" or some other bald-faced lie. peppy does not like this "mostly retriever" and is quivering the whole time

something unto death — 2.2 spoilers for a side quest (scorchsand vacation)

SLEEPIE LOOKING FOR GALLAGHER AND REPEATING HIS NAME... THE FACT THAT GALLAGHER DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE BUT HIS CREATION DOES AND IT REMEMBERS & MISSES HIM... I'M NOT OKAY

this also raises the question of how it can continue existing after gallagher stopped. it's probably because other people in the dreamscape remember "death" and have experienced it firsthand. plus, there might still be people in dreamflux reef who use sleepie to travel between dreams.

but mostly UEE😭🥺💧Eu💧💧E E😭😭 E EUE🥺🥺😭UUUUE😭🥺💧🥺😭 ue 💧ee😭🥺

did you know that one skill name from Something Unto Death (the skill that summons one of those corpse things when it insta-kills a character) is a line from a song* about a man wanting to run away and die alone so that no one ever finds his grave?

*the song is part of “twelfth night,” a play by shakespeare. perhaps related, the dreamscape is often referred to as “the twelve hours.”

““Come away death”, is about a man who dies for his uncaring love, and wants to be buried far away anonymously. He wants no flowers strewn on his black coffin; nor does he want friends nor mourners present when he is lowered into the grave. In fact, he wants to be buried in a secret place so that no other "sad true lover" will chance to find his grave and find reason to weep there.”

gallagher suspects mikhail died in obscurity where nobody could find him.

the first time we encounter Something Unto Death is in ‘a child’s dream,’ a map which is full of floating text and voices calling out for mikhail, begging him to stay, and then asking where he’s gone. judging by the cutscene when we first enter the dreampool, the child the dream belongs to is Misha. this is the text that immediately precedes the first encounter with the monster.

did you know that the family has the ability to turn traitors into memory zone memes?

and that this transformation traps them in a “never-ending slumber,” which sounds similar to the description of the things Something Unto Death summons when inflicting a character with morbid dream (the instakill atk)?

i am so convinced that Something Unto Death is what’s left of Mikhail.

blade when he hears about acheron and something unto death:

blade when he hears how everyone is dying and that even firefly got stabbed:

When Misha said it's friendly... I start to think it's cute.
