I have this silly idea floating around in my head.
C!Dream dies in prison and instead of going to limbo he appears in the middle of a lush but obviously unknown forest, his first thought is that he is in limbo.
He explores the place a bit and eventually runs into another person he absolutely doesn't know.
N!silenco is confused by that stranger who is staring at him with that mask that looks like it was made by a 5-year-old child.
Somehow C!Dream was dragged by the bull man while he doesn't understand absolutely anything he says because he doesn't speak Spanish.

"They found each other in the wreckage of optimism, and it took them a decade to decide that hope was not enough to save the Golden Branch from itself. It was in a library, not an armoury, where the Apostolosian became the sword and shield of Integrity, a Divine who’d lost its Candidate.
Some climb into their Divines, others deploy them across the battlefield, or fight under the blanket of their shadows. But Integrity demands intimacy. It digs into the flesh of the willing, all metal and promises and penetralia, desperate to create an unbreakable unity. It is afraid, and wounded, and it cannot know the power it gives without seeing it first in the reflection of a Candidate's eyes: the loft, the velocity, the violence. And for the first time in centuries, Integrity doesn’t fear its Candidate. It moves with confidence, in muscle and ambition. It believes in Sokrates Nikon Artemisios."
(COUNTER/Weight 22: A Broken Branch)
Great episode to get to after recent palisade happenings. I obviously remember the "Integrity demands intimacy" but there's so much other great stuff here.... "They found each other in the wreckage of optimism" is just incredible.
Edit: Noting the wording of " [...] the Apostolosian became the sword and shield of Integrity" because Integrity literally is both those things - they are the armor Sokrates wears and the weapon they wield - but it positions them here both as a protector of Integrity and someone Integrity acts through (divines & candidates!).
And I love that this gives Integrity pre-Sokrates interiority I had honestly completely forgotten about. "For the first time in centuries, Integrity doesn't fear it's candidate" A divine afraid(!) of what it can do together with it's candidate, the power it gives. And then what Austin describes in pal29 comes to mind, which is like, "if there was a time when Integrity was like, you know, 'Finally someone has come to help me get out of this situation.' That is not what's happening here." It's interesting because that phrasing of if not the current but a past state("that time has come and gone ")... it still sounds like fear a little bit. And that obviously isn't the case anymore (I don't feel like typing out this Austin quote but he said something about the notion of immortality & change that made me real happy. I love that shit) & I'm curious to learn more about this hopefully.
I love Integrity & while I don't think of it as "the good one", it's fate is important to me because is still one of the sickest divines (which is really saying a lot with like, Perennial and Motion et al. around).

Quick interruption: This may (somehow, still?) be a hot take, but I swear to all that is unholy and insane, I've been sitting on this salt about the TB and Kafka since like May of last year. This isn't going to be a long meta at all, but I do want to make something abundantly clear on this blog.
I know that people say the 'mommy' thing jokingly because they have the hots for her (listen, I understand the motivation, I just firmly hate the term), but I know some people actively still believe that Kafka is somehow related to the TB even if her story quest has since entirely debunked that claim and proved the opposite. Let me just, share this for a second:
(source) Can we put this to rest now, pretty please? I'm too old and too tired for this, guys.

First of all, Beesting, you've never felt that kind of heartache in your life. The only cat you liked liked you back and you two got together and had kits (granted the father was six feet under at that point).
Second of all . . . That's just gotta hurt. The fact she unknowingly correctly guessed what he was going through . . . Like what do you do at that point? Do you just pretend you're fine and that you're not actually upset because she doesn't like you back? How would you even do that?
Just not a good situation to be in. Sorry to put you through that, Wolfheart. It makes for good story material and drama though. You understand, right?
Another comic-like thing of a quote I found that I thought fit some of my OCs. They’re kinda fun to make.
Recently, I've been getting into the show 'Hey Arnold!'(as some of you may know if you saw my recent activity), and this is a quote from it (except Wolfheart's not the character the person was speaking to in the actual show, and that said character doesn't walk away in tears). I figured it kinda fit these two.
So I suppose you could say this is also my way of showing I like the show this is referencing. At least when it comes to make things myself.
At least for now. Maybe that’ll change in the future.

on my paper-writing home stretch where I am so stressed I have no appetite and I feel dizzy maybe because I’m hungry or tired but I can’t tell and I also can’t tell if what I ate today was a normal human amount or not and I don’t feel like writing my paper so much that keeping my eyes focused on it is literally straining (is that an adhd thing?? I can look at other things and unrelated text fine I just changed the font and it helped a little bit but :-/)
