I love it when dogs try to help but the task at hand requires zero dogs so they just kinda stand in front of you and look serious.
They had lived their life rather interestingly. Other people took the Laws of this world for granted. Those people saw no interest in making a change, they simply existed, making no impact on the world around them. They hated that.
They looked at the beliefs of the people, and they saw so many holes and flaws and problems.
They did not endeavour to fix these things. They took advantage of them, and made a good living. They turned lead into gold, water into wine, death into life.
It was the last, they reflect, that caused this to occur.
Their body shifts and twist beneath them. They broke the Laws, and now they face the consequences. They remember how this is meant to go. They will die, or they will be found innocent and emptied out, left to wander the world as a hollow shell of themselves.
A single word rings out in their mind.
‘No.’
Things are wrong. Things are broken and denied and unfulfilled. They continue to twist and shift. It hurts now, the fire of agony racing through their mind. This is unnatural, and it should not be.
Yet, in defiance of the Laws, it is.
They are torn apart and put back together. Claws and chitin and shell and bone and meat are grown and crushed, their flesh buckling and shaping in the same way as clay is worked by a potter.
They lose their mind halfway through this. All that is left is bestial aggression and animal instincts and emotion. They are so full of sadness and anger and regret and they do not know why.
They know only one thing - they have been found guilty.
Voices permeate the trees around them. They think as best they can.
These people are not guilty and yet they are.
This is unfair. They grow angrier and angrier.
They decide.
Claws extended, flesh warping, eyes wide, and mouth agape, they lurch towards the voices.
the way ppl have designated cuddling as a purely romantic thing and is weird outside of that context has done widespread damage to our pack animal nature
THE BEAUTIFUL BASTARD RETURNS!!!
drunk and in love and full of food i think only the torturer eel could harm me
☺
in her DMs giving away my weaknesses with reckless abandon
What a day.
[strikes a cute pose and winks] in terms of loathing and malice i can't be beat!!!
Her nails were the first thing that was taken away.
The woman in front of her stands, holding her head between her hands, whispering soothing words. Promising it won’t hurt very much at all.
Her knife reaches out again
Her skin falls away from her, revealing layers of fat which follow in turn. Her muscles part, and are quickly and precisely removed. Organs are cut out, excised one by one so as to avoid making a mess or disturbing the ongoing work. Veins and arteries are removed with impossible cleanliness.
She doesn’t want to stain anything, after all.
Bones and eyes remain, so are taken as well.
She can’t avoid making a bit of a mess with this bit.
Splinters of bone fall to the floor. Her skull cracks, splits, shatters. She is removed, then her brain is tossed aside.
Then, from a place where she sees and feels yet cannot act, she watches as her miss truly begins her work.
Steel is melted, poured into molds, beaten out on an anvil, and formed into a beautiful new skeleton for her. Her miss works with ceramics to make her cold new skin. She works with bronze and brass and precious metals to build her lovely joints.
She spends weeks crafting new eyes for her doll.
When she wakes up, after months of watching the affection of her miss pour into her new body, she moves quickly, sure of her purpose.
She embraces her miss.
KIsses her with porcelain lips.
And offers a response months in the making:
‘Thank you.’
She/her, LARP doer, Warhammer and Gundam fan, that one reveal with Zane from Ninjago changed the trajectory of my life,Certified Scribblehub Eggfic Protagonist.
