Toxic relationship but it’s soft. They take such good care of you that you don’t even question when they want you to stop going out without them. And then to stop going out at all. When they start controlling what you do. What you can wear. Who you can see. They know best, after all, and you’re too wrapped up in being taken care of to see how you’re being manipulated. How you’re being trained. Until they’ve basically made you their little house pet, and you’re so dependent on them that you think it’s your idea.

unfortunately i could never be nonchalant because i am not well in the head and also my soul is on fire

I don't want characters to do aftercare actually I want them to have violent impulsive crazed sex that they both kind of hate and feel disgusted by and they never ever address it and instead keep coming back for more as a form of self harm and mutual understanding that they will just feel awful bad about it and kinda want to die forever

Baby sphinx trying to be like mama and waylaying travelers, but all its riddles are completely non-sensical like the ones a 1st grader would tell

i'm full of joy and wonder. [louder and more insistently] I'M FULL OF JOY ANDNWONDER FUCK YOU

i do just think . it kind of rules how achievable it all is. you can make a neocities account Right Now for free and have a lil webpage that you decorate according to your own whims. you can make a text-based game in your browser using twine! the electric zine maker if you ever feel like fucking around with zine creation, windowpane for the creation of multimedia projects, photopea for image editing, etc etc etc
