oh it’d be nice, to walk into his brother’s house and deliver himself into open arms; to watch the humans stumble, side-by-side, and think on newborn foals as they learn to stand. but cain had to kill abel to properly provide the lesson, and if all anyone chooses to remember is the sorrow of the sheep as they looked to where their tender lay, then manny will be the one to remind them of the weight of the rock as it struck.

Summons

1.

Another summons

a lawsuit for a deadbeat

still gone in the wind

2.

Must be really nice

avoiding consequence

always being saved

3.

You played victim well

traumas sewn into gold skin   

knives always ready

4.

I need to move on

leave you in the past with love

but you burned my future

5.

All I have is now

I’m hurt but still alive, whole

I need more sutures.

But now it's time to end it. Now it's time to leave him. (manny from @debtsunpaid being a Dick)

iwtv sentences (always accepting) / @debtsunpaid

"-- is it?"

words so quiet one could find an echo of kesabel in them. the vague threat and defiance that emmanuel never felt the need for until now. he was alright with being insulted, with being ignored, with being underestimated. he was alright with heaven and hell alike judging him for whatever he chose to do with his time and power, knowing -- or feeling like -- god was on his side, in spite of it all. that hope he didn't lose even now, that hope did not crumble with his halo. if anything, he knew that heaven was one bureaucratic nightmare. why should god be responsible for an angel's mishap? it happens. he may have fallen for it, but it happens. he shall accept his fate, humble and low, but he shall accept it at john's side, or in his shadow, knowing that it was all for something. knowing that they may together continue what he'd lost his very essence for. nothing less.

that thought alone keeps him sane, that thought alone keeps him from succumbing to the overwhelming pain of being twisted into the living world, of celestial shards in his palm, of the very sound on the inside of this regular body, oh so loud and empty of purpose unlike the hum of human prayer that used to fill every moment of his existence, once. that thought keeps him going. -- and manny knows this.

he's always been good at picking at the loose threads, he's always been good at hiding himself and baring another in their vulnerability. he's always been good at getting into people's heads, and now emmanuel lacked the slightest of protection. he was an open book, and for that reason alone he knew he had to feel whatever he wished to insist on for real. he had to convince himself to convince the other.

"you forget, they don't tell me what to do anymore. you don't tell me what to do. i am staying this time. i make my own choices." not a hint of nervosity. not a hint of doubt.

i would like to file a formal complaint abt @debtsunpaid & me making up the concept of freudian angel & emmanuel and manny as the opposites of one another and that whole concept has consumed my brain and idk how to do anything else now

#ooc tbt #i've just been staring at oxly's reply for thirty minutes. feeling emotions. rotting my brain at high speeds.

i'm still mostly in waiting mode for the new hellblazer & queueing up a bunch of stuff for when school starts up again in a week & i'll get hellaciously busy again, so i am in & out around here this week. sorry everyone!

but in the meantime i AM poking around on my hellblazer npc multi (@debtsunpaid) if anyone wants to fuck around with the folks over there. i just put up an interest tracker, temp bios are in the pinned, and i'm working on full bios for everyone this week.

#( ooc. ) OUT OF CIGS. #headinhands.png #sorry for vanishing y'all this has been. a time. sick family & hospital visits & now a vet visit has me fried #and this ADHD is a real son of a bitch bc i simply Cannot focus i am too busy thinking about THIS TUESDAY #NEW FUCKING HELLBLAZER TO CHEW ON at which point i will once again be feral and rabid and writing #in the meantime i am throwing shit at the wall to build a very fun cosmic horror-ish oc based on the Fear Machine #who is basically the god born of all humanity's collective fears. supposedly defeated by zed & john in the late 80s #but now psychically chained to a wreck of a german man who thinks it's an alien he picked up in space #so if y'all want to hear me run my mouth about obscure hellblazer mythology again i'll be kicking around the multi #sched.
