Twins at the carousel - Sparkeater Perceptor

Going back to my simpatico roots to bring you fresh angst. Lowkey I've always loved the concept/idea of Sparkeater Perceptor, of him retaining his consciousness but he has to constantly fight the instincts of a sparkeater inside him whenever he's with anyone else. And there's always a threat where he loses control and he fears that so much so he avoids anyone if he could.

As always closeups under the cut

A declassified World War II-era government guide to “simple sabotage” is currently one of the most popular open source books on the internet. The book, called “Simple Sabotage Field Manual,” was declassified in 2008 by the CIA and “describes ways to train normal people to be purposefully annoying telephone operators, dysfunctional train conductors, befuddling middle managers, blundering factory workers, unruly movie theater patrons, and so on. In other words, teaching people to do their jobs badly.”  Over the last week, the guide has surged to become the 5th-most-accessed book on Project Gutenberg, an open source repository of free and public domain ebooks. It is also the fifth most popular ebook on the site over the last 30 days, having been accessed nearly 60,000 times over the last month (just behind Romeo and Juliet).
