transcript under cut

Killer: Since we're both here... why not make up for lost time? Doesn't that sound nice?

[clench]

Kid: STOP IT! STOP ACTING LIKE THIS!

Kid: You're being so -- WRONG! My PARTNER never said or did anything like this!

Kid: You're skin and bones and covered in scars and thinking of something like THAT?!

Killer: You're hurting me.

Kid: WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?! WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU?!

#genderbends #ask to tag #genuinely I do mean that #kidkiller #nsft #wano spoilers #one piece spoilers #I don’t want to put this in the main OP tag bc of just. the amount of context #geese art #okay author’s notes. #you can read this as you’d like. #you can interpret it as you’d like. #one of the most horrific aspects of the smile fruit to me is how they remove a person’s ability to be horrified #you cannot express how you are trapped in a smiling cage #but even with that emotions still manage to break free sometimes just from the sheer weight #see: the execution w/everyone from ebisu crying #but w killer he was literally a completely different person #so there was even MORE of a brainwashing aspect to his experience #(yes using he/him bc I’m talking about canon killer) #(did genderbends for this bc it was based on genderbend art) #and so him reuniting w someone who’s known him his entire life #knows everything about him #and being SO different #would’ve been awful for both of them #Kid because he doesn’t recognize his partner #and Killer because he can’t say it’s still me. I promise it’s still me. #literally what happened between udon and the raid that made him calm down #took his normal pills I guess. #anyways that’s my rant
