Day 6: Passing Time.

"You slink around, you think there's only one of you."

This is gonna be so many tags (there are.)

emma:

Big fan of high academia Dr Ryland “will call you a staggering waste of carbon” Grace who is a short tempered, egotistical, and kind of a jerk.

Big fan of how Ryland Grace can be both these things but while still having his same fundamental personality as a good person and wet cat.

Big fan of how it’s generally agreed that teaching burned the evil out of him and let his whimsy shine.

individual shitposts under the cut (i just liked how this canvas turned out all together lol) ->

And then for it all to be reset, like nothing ever happened, and you forget, forget yourself completely to sing the opening number, dressed as yourself but not yourself, and you’re only truly present at your shitty dead-end barista job, where you meet a man that makes you smile, and your boss keeps referencing a line that isn’t there, and the coffee cups are empty, and over and over you make the same quips, ask the same questions, tell the same stories, until suddenly, it’s over, the apocalypse is here, and everyone’s singing, and you’re wandering through an alley way that feels almost alive, and then the man in front of you isn’t the man you knew, was never the man you knew, and neither are you, and suddenly—

Suddenly there’s a stage.

for Inevitable, Emma doesn't have a spotlight on her until the end. because until the end, the point is that Emma's alone now. only Paul gets a spotlight, it's Paul's song, Paul is the focus, Paul is being celebrated. Emma's fear, her attempts to escape, don't matter, she doesn't need to be lit. Paul's corpse basks in the light, flaunting how separated they are now, while Emma runs and screams in the shadows. Emma's not part of the show, Paul is.
