Greetings spooky skellie, I have thoughts running through my head about Rotten Roots and I don't know how to feel about these thoughts

1.) The cult was never caught // 2.) I want to believe that when Peter was writing that letter, he was crying but the only thing holding him together was the thought of Sarah being happy never seeing him again (and Mittens) // 3.) When Sarah was reading Peter's letter, she was either groaning and rolling her eyes or sighing and shaking her head in disappointment // 4.) Norman is trying to hunt down Peter to finish what he started // 5.) Peter frequently gets weird looks when he's in town and a lot of people ask him what happened to him, telling people this made-up answer hurts him because he's lying to (most likely) innocent people and he wants to tell the truth so badly but he doesn't want to make it more worse than it already is

And, I'm having a bit of a rough time trying to start chpt 1 of the crossover, but I'll come up with something sooner rather than later. Okay goodnight!!

indeed! although i think the lack of snitching here was less a combination of personal fear/shame like williams, and more a case of sarah and peter not wanting to endanger everyone else around them.

thats pretty much exactly what i was going for, particularly with the struck out portions of the letter. just his worst thoughts taking a hold until he shakes himself out of it and scribbles out the parts where his self-hatred was doing the talking

i think sarah's reaction is a bit more complicated than that tbh. for how much she's still angry with and even a little fearful of peter, i think she was genuinely hoping he'd be okay after she left him at the hospital, and there was a real sense of relief at finding out that he was not only alive, but actually making an effort to deal with the things that turned him into a monster in the first place. at the same time. yea she was pretty pissed at peter thinking the cult had a point lol

norman is probably taking peter's escape the most personally, but the whole cult has an interest in tying up all their loose ends, probably including williams too 👀

yea, it rly is hard for peter having these physical reminders of both the trauma he went thru under the trap door, but also the trauma he caused that led him down there in the first place. the one silver lining is that even ppl who know about his past as an abuser are a little more willing to take his desire to improve in good faith because. fuckin look at this ratty shelter dog of a man

also for what it's worth, whenever im struggling with creative block i find music helps the best! maybe listen to some songs that fit the vibe of what ur trying to write and see if that helps?
