Beryl Shores AU - Moondrop’s Special Diet
cw: starvation mention, cannibalism (but is it really cannibalism if you’re technically different species? hmm)
Moondrop eats the dead.
Moondrop’s corpse-eating addiction started many many years ago when the isles were mostly bare. Moon would save all the food for Sunrise so he could eat on the many weeks they’d go starving, but eventually was forced eat a human body when the circumstances came about.
Then it just kept happening - he’d keep his hunger at bay until he was forced to save himself, and that loop kept going until eventually he started getting a taste for it. By the time food was bountiful, he didn’t care for it as much.
Sunrise finds this a little morbid/disturbing, but not overly bad, more of just something to work on. He won’t intervene unless Moondrop wants him to, and so far, there are no signs.
It comes to him in hunger pangs, or at least what he interprets as hunger. In reality, it’s more of a physical anxiety response the same way humans experience headaches and stomach-aches from stress. In an attempt to end the pain he just keeps eating and eating until it goes away, so he just thinks it’s the flesh soothing it.
Does he feel guilty? Oh, it tears him up from the inside, but he’s gotten so good at lying about it he’s fooled even himself.
The two of them find no issue in dragging sailors to their watery graves or coaxing an islander to jump to their death. It’s their territory, and they can do whatever they want in it. That’s how it’s been, that’s how it always will be.
But… Moondrop can’t help but feel a little sick about actually eating the corpses. It’s not necessarily that he sees it as wrong, he just doesn’t like it. Something about how easily they tear apart, how they no longer writhe on the sea floor, how they look so much like their living counterparts up above who have a fighting chance.
They’re dead, it’s not like they’re using their bodies anymore. He’ll threaten and flirt about how much he loves the taste of flesh and bone, despite it all. He’s a predator, believes he’s a predator, and is gonna act like a predator. The guilt haunts his nightmares and his guts in hunger pangs, but he’ll still laugh when someone’s bleeding out because of him.

Maybe you wouldn't be fat if you didn't eat carbs on carbs
Maybe you wouldn't be such a raggedy ass bitch if you minded your own business 😂😂😂
And yet... I still get laid. 🤭💋
Funny how that works, huh? 😂😂😂😂

i used to wear my shoes around the house but then i watched a news program on how much dirt and germs you track in the house. so i started leaving my shoes at the door and wear my house slippers.
also shoes on a bed? that's disgusting!! who does that?!?!?
THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING
WHY WOULD YOU WEAR YOUR DIRTY ASS SHOES IN THE HOUSE. YOU COULD TRACK SO MUCH SHIT INSIDE.
GET SLIPPERS. OR INSIDE SHOES.
The on the bed I think is mainly a TV trope thing. But it does happen in media and it stresses me out.
I hope it's just a media thing.
If any of you people ever tell me you put shoes on the furniture you're being blocked and reported /hj
