Mostly a sonic the hedgehog blog at this point

It's well trod that The Girl is probably not Susie. Some have pointed out it goes further than that, the Prince from the Dark could easily be Asriel, and the Cage with Human Soul and Parts might be the Vessel we created at the start of the game.

I'm gonna go a step further: the entire current adventure that our heroes are on has been carefully engineered. Kris, Carol and whoever else is in on the conspiracy is making dark fountains and causing the story to happen in order to fulfill the conditions of the prophecy.

The reason is that Asriel, the Vessel, and Dess already got most of the way through the prophecy themselves. They didn't get to the ending just yet, but it's cold comfort: the prophecy says a grim fate awaits them. The Prince, the Girl, they're doomed.

But what if there were another way? The prophecy must happen, but who's to say who it happens to? There could be another Prince, another Girl, another Cage. Asriel and Dess can be saved. And in their place a sacrifice. An insignificant darkner, and a wretched girl who won't be missed.

And what do you want?

So she joins a group of flowers, afraid that they'll reject her because she isn't a "real" flower. Just a ghost of a Lightner living a half-life, putting on pretty pink clothes so she can look like the flowers.

But contrary to her fears, the flowers happily embrace her. Despite everything, she's a flower to them. They're all happy she's there! Even if she wasn't born a flower, she's a flower to them.

it was in awe lmao

then the hygienist and assistant all came over to look too and they were like “wooooow” and my ass was sitting there like

story time

okay so to preface this, my hometown where i’m originally from is a really fucking weird place. like from the outside it seems like a normal suburban town, but once you’re there for awhile you get the feeling that’s something’s not…quite all together. a lot of people are really fucking weird there — so much so that that was a running joke in school growing up, that people in the town were just like that. everyone knew not to go out to the farm lands surrounding the town especially at night, we called it “the cuts” and people used to disappear out there all the time or get shot at by the especially weird people that would live out there. the news was and still is truly a thing of horror. every time i come back i’m regaled with even more stories of crazy shit that has happened there.

to put it in perspective we generally never had “normal crime” like robbery or anything like that when i lived there, though that did happen sometimes. the news stories were always like, “a kid was kidnapped by local residents and tortured in a house around the corner,” “a random person was chased down and shot for sport in a really nice neighborhood,” “someone was gored to death by a bull while out car shopping,” etc. (these are all real, btw). everyone does drugs and the whole town is located really close to a government site where they test nuclear weapons and chemicals and shit. this is how i grew up, in this bizarre environment.

i need to preface it this way so that you get that it’s weird. it’s a fucking weird place. i used to listen to the welcome to night vale podcast and make comparisons from it to my hometown, that’s how weird it is.

i only say this so you know that this town is where i got my orthodontics from.

all the kids in my town went to this one particular orthodontist. i also used to go to a dentist in town that a lot of people went to as well. i had a permanent retainer put on my bottom teeth after braces and no one had ever said anything to me about the model of retainer itself or it being weird type of retainer at all. i saw a ton of other people (mostly other kids that were my age at the time) that had the same type of retainer as me too so i never thought about it.

so i kept my retainer in — it’s never caused me problems and it keeps my teeth straight, why not?

however i went to a dentist for the first time in a metropolitan area now, and when he saw it in my mouth his literal first reaction was to say “uh can i ask you a question….what the hell is that”

LITERALLY the words that he said

which in hindsight makes almost too much sense. of course my town of all towns would put these weird unnecessary contraptions in kids’ mouths, and of course it happened so much that everyone just thought it was normal. that sounds exactly, to a T, like my hometown.

my permanent bottom retainer is apparently this prototype that is so rare that he’s literally never seen it before in his life, not in dental school, nowhere. it’s not that it’s an outdated type, it’s just rare as fuck. they were still staring at pictures of it on my chart in wonder when i left the office.

I looked up the bull-murder thing OP mentioned and Tracy seemed to be only town that came up with a matching case. Though the man didn’t actually die from his injuries everything else matches up one for one. So just to make sure that it was the right town I looked to see if there was any murder-torture of young people in Tracy, and unfortunately there was. It was a 17 year old boy who escaped and survived the torture. And just to solidify that it was in fact Tracy I looked up shootings in residential areas and there was one of a 20 year old man who was shot and killed in a nice neighborhood.

Okay, but I decided to look into Tracy more to find out more information about it and the town is super suspicious. There’s been a lot of murders and shooting in the town. Back in 2009 an 8 year old girl, Sandra Cantu, was kidnapped and murdered by a Sunday school teacher who said she had no idea why she killed Sandra. Another case happened in 2018 when four underage boys were shot and one was killed by four teenage boys. There’s a lot of news stories on shootings, homicides, and drug busts in that town. It’s a really cute town from the outside, if you just look up Tracy, California there’s a lot of really cute businesses and nice articles on sweet things that happen in the town, but if you actually look into it the town is really sketchy.

i grew up in tracy

also i have to add another person’s tags to this since it’s honesty hour because they’re hilarious and true

So. Elk Mound Wisconsin. Very small population, very isolated. The water was neon orange, which is not uncommon in areas near mining. It’s because of the copper.

My mom moved around a lot so she didn’t grow up there, just lived there for a few years, in a condemned house, which a lot of the houses in the town were.

90% of people in the town had inverted nipples. Incest was common. One family had a set of quadruplets that were not identical, but they all died in a car crash and a couple of years later the family had a second set of nonidentical quadruplets that grew up to be identical to the first set of quadruplets. The condemned house my mom lived in was haunted by a (benign) ghost, that at one point threw things off shelves. My mom initially thought it was a trick but could find no way for it to have been done, and the weird stuff continued. At one point my mom poisoned the crops of one of her neighbors bc they ran down her dog for fun (they had serious problems) and the neighbors in question thought she was a witch and burned a cross into their yard. In a separate, later, incident, she and her siblings were walking to school and fellow students and teachers kept throwing rocks at them (sizable rocks, and many) attempting to stone them to death. It didn’t work mainly bc my mom and her siblings hunted squirrels via thrown rock so they started catching the rocks and throwing them back. There was a summer camp on a superfund site (I don’t remember if it was in the town or just near the town) where kids could learn farm work and logging work and earn some money (like a dollar per day, but that doesn’t matter bc it was child labor anyways). The water there would seep up from the ground in neon green puddles and kids splashed around in it and drank from it. This was one of the bands in WI where those magnetic rocks could be found, but the overall magnetic effect in some places was like. weirdly strong. There was one area that you straight up couldn’t use a compass in and people used to disappear there all the time. Sometimes in “hunting accidents” that very clearly were not accidents, but other times these disappearances were unexplained or attributed to supernatural forces. Most of the townspeople had a much easier time believing in supernatural forces than magnets messing with compasses. Which I would blame on the inbreeding and contaminated water, but might not be so unreasonable to believe if you were also raised in a town where some people purportedly had psychic powers. If I’m remembering the correct town (there were a couple ones with really high death rates), the death rates were insane, there were 24 people in my mom’s school when she moved there, and 8 when she left (not counting herself and her siblings in either of those numbers).

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know.
