We love Q!Pac's rights and wrongs

but anyway just… he loves Richas so much and will do anything he can for Richas… he tries so hard to protect him to the point of eagerly offering his own life consistently… the way he goes as far as to betray cellbit by pretending to ally with cucurucho…

and then in vod 12 when he tells cellbit (I’m paraphrasing this) that he genuinely didn’t think cucurucho would hurt him. he believed cellbit of course, but cellbit broke the rules and got hurt as a result of that. Felps didn’t do anything “against the rules” and still got kidnapped

but yes it was an extremely calculated choice of Felps’. he was walking into danger but it was a danger he accepted and was fully (as far as he was aware) prepared to deal with. He failed, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t a plan. from vod 9 bad was talking about how they might have to sacrifice something and Felps suggested himself (he is also quite literally sacrificed in a ritual multiple times during this vod to try and summon cucurucho pfft)

And I mean… obviously vod 11 is a continuation of the plan, but if there are any doubts: he also “breaks character” briefly when talking to bad since bad already knows about the plan and he knows he can reference it vaguely enough hopefully without tipping off cucurucho that he has ulterior motives

felps is a very smart character! sometimes smart characters make mistakes or things don’t work out for them, but he’s still smart. When cellbit was upset at him for planning to talk to/make a deal with cucurucho Felps said it would good to at least see what he was capable of + “if we keep a distance from him we’ll never discover anything” (and like… this is a tactic that cellbit ended up using in the regret arc and such)

He's a smart character and an emotional character and a self-sacrifical idiot. He would do anything for the people he cares about and that includes deceiving and betraying Cellbit briefly for the sake of their kid. Like he knows Cellbit would understand in the end. And just what that says about Felps. The implications. So much of Felps can be overlooked from other people's POVs

I just love him so much.

So I finished the prologue for that Cellbit and Pac life eater au I was working on. It's now got 21 planned chapters aside from a prologue and epilogue.

Gonna be posting it here and on ao3 so here's the finished prologue and Diving Bell on AO3

Warnings for murder, unreality, dream sequence, and implied kidnapping

COMMISSION OPEN!

hiiiii hellooooooooo more information on my ko-fi page >_>)

rb is appreciated :3

It feels real. The weight of the metal in his hand has never been more present in his mind. He stands in a dimly lit alley way, but somehow there are lights overhead. On instinct, he shifts to put the cold bricks against his back. He presses himself against the wall. Ignoring the pinch of stone he shuffles silently closer to his target. All of him but his shoes manage to stay just out of the high contrasting light. It's all so real.

The knife feels heavier. Now wrapped in cloth but weighing ten pounds in his fingers. He moves forward anyways. Slowly it grows heavier. With every step closer to his target, just beyond the overhead light, it pulls his arm down. He has to fight to keep it up at all. Even holding it becomes difficult as his shoes continue to softly scuff against the cracked asphalt.

Then he's close. He slows his breathing to near silence. Counting in his head and trying to time it to the rise and fall of the breath of the person in front of him. Someone staring down at the ground in front of them. A mess of blond hair. Despite the agony of lifting the knife, he only grunts as it lodges into their spinal cord. It slips between the vertibre with a grinding he's far too familiar with now. Then with a further push of the knife they go limp.

Hand slip under armpits and he lowers the body with hardly a further sound. Blood and spinal fluid ooze out, but they seem to still be breathing. And that's important. They need to be breathing. This won't work if they're not breathing. He can feel his gut twist a hands shake. A sudden crushing feeling overtakes him from behind. He whips around.

There's glitching visibly overlaying the person standing in the light. It cuts into their appearance but he can smell the fear. He can see it in the way they hold onto their face. Their hair obscures their face. Behind the shifting overlays of color he can tell their hair is black and blue. Their clothes were also blue. A blue rabbit, something echoes deep from that door in his brain, a witness to the slaughter.

For as long as Cellbit can remember, he's been surrounded by the voices of things beyond him. He's seen their influences in everything from his dreams to the graffiti on the sides of buildings as his train passes by. He's heard their whispers in the back of his mind. He hears them often. They goad him into doing horrible things to people. He does his best to ignore them.

Sometimes, they tell him about the end of the world... and the things he must do to stop it. He's fine with this. He's come to terms with it, even if he's not happy. This is something he can do to take care of the world. Something he'll never get acknowledgement for, but at least everyone gets to wake up and go about their lives. More coffee in his cup.

But then someone complicates things. He's more real to Cellbit than any other human has ever been and he's stuck in a cage in Cellbit’s basement.
