#fruity speaks

the creator of the post has me in their dni so i’m making my own post: make yourself in this

make yourself using this!! (i apologize for the lack of skin tones, i try to find ones that are as inclusive, it’s just this site has a lot of just whites and pinks.)

• some mornings you’ll wake up and look at the clock. if you look at the clock, get out of bed. if you don’t, you will lose hours of your day.

• keep water on your windowsill. do not move it. you will need it soon. best not to think about why.

• you still have posters and decorations in your room from seventh grade. what grade are you in? you can’t remember. don’t try. it’ll only make time warp.

• always sleep with the comforter design side up. it distracts them for long enough while you sleep.

• if you wake up and your comforter is design side down, go to the bathroom immediately and check yourself for wounds.

• what month is it?

• your nightlight keeps disappearing. your mom insists she took it for your sister. that was weeks ago. your sister doesn’t have your nightlight.

• there was a different fish in this fish tank last week. you don’t remember replacing it or it dying. it’s the same fish. don’t stare.

• you come home and your room is rearranged. do not ask. do not look in your mothers eyes for the rest of the night.

• do not eat the fruit salad.

• if the coat rack looks like a man staring at you from the corner of your room, that’s because it is. leave him offerings of fruit salad for him. throw away the blueberries. do not eat them. neither of you can eat them.

• don’t eat the blueberries.

• you lose the fish food again. after feeding the fish every night you store it in a salt circle. it never disappears again.

• you come home from a friend’s house. no one is home. everyone left their phone at home. they are gone for too long and come back dead quiet with reflective eyes. do not stare. tell them “i just wanted to let you know i’m home.” and retreat to your room. do not come out until you are called to dinner.

• cover your altar with a blanket before you leave the house. if your family finds it, you’re in danger.

• close your closet doors closed unless the lights are on and you’re getting clothes out or in. do not linger. keep them closed.

• you feel like someone is watching you through your window. you live on the second floor.

• you’ve never seen your neighbor before. their lights are always off. everyone has accounts of this neighbor being especially awful, but they don’t exist. do not attempt to ask for a discription or knock on their door.

• if a solicitor comes by to sell you something and has no teeth, close the door. lock it. do not attempt to communicate. you’ll lose your teeth too.

• do not drink the freezies at the local taco bell. you don’t know what’s in them.

• try not to dream about work. especially if you work in fast food. a strange woman will speak to you if you ask to take her order. she will speak in an ancient language. if you hear this, do not ask her to repeat herself. wake up immediately.

• do not look for socks. only let mom bring them to you.

• you will feel sick every time you leave your room. ignore this.

• you go by 30 names. none of them you respond to.

• dad’s music is metal. it will shake the house. if he listens to anything else and it does not shake the house, stay in your room. it will not be safe to come out that day.

• light your yellow gnome candle while you take a bath. it keeps them away.

• buy a furby. keep it asleep. do not wake it up. keep it up high. do not move it. it will protect you.

• you cat is like you. he is your familiar. he is the only one you can trust in the house. he knows the horrors. do not ask. he will not tell.

• you have a new book every week. you’ve never read any of them and you don’t intend to. put them with your other books and leave them alone after that. if you intend to move them, move them in groups of 2. this is respectful.

• you put new batteries in your discman every day. they disappear every day. do not stop replacing them.

• glass and ceramic instruments are your friends. do not betray them.

• do not acknowledge the new gnomes that appear in your room every week. they think you like gnomes. if you respect them gnomes, the things giving you the gifts will leave you alone. it is their payment for living in the same existential plane as you. they worship you.

• by your house is a stream that is blocked by grass and rocks every day. make sure you go daily and remove the grass and the rocks. the water nymphs will repay you soon.

• do not eat anything from mom’s garden other than the chives. you may never eat again.

• if you feel like you need to call in sick for work, do it. the house will thank you

• if your mom offers to take you to the laundromat past 10 pm, do not go. alternatively, if you are at the laundromat past 10 and arrived earlier than that, you are safe.

• bathe as little as possible. the water is toxic.

• if the deer have eaten your mom’s plants, do not go outside. they might eat you too.

• always stay up too late or go to bed too early. never go to bed at a reasonable time. you’ll pay for it if you do.

• do not go in the woods by your mailbox. never look into them for too long. turn your back to it as soon as possible. they don’t like to be watched.

• you hear your cat’s meow from outside. your cat is purring next to you. do not investigate. it is a trick.

trenders, make your inkling here!!
