#systemlife

We’ve never had this many littles. We’ve never had a persecutor. 

Everybody; minding their own business

Morg: :/

Everybody; what. What is it.

Morg: IF I WERE A TARTIGRADE, I’D MOVE OUT FROM HOME-

My sins are rooted in prayer

Cant scream, cause I’m listnin

Couldn’t even hear you there

And its all comin from with-in

A song’ll could get you there

Can i get another amen?

Can’t win for losin here

Can i say ameen

Ameen,

Your voice is my church

Can i get roll call? (Answer) im here im here

Are you getting through?

I’m really in deep

I think you caaaan call it a calling

I’m literally the company I keep

Can we stop....stop stalling

Switch

Now I promise not to weep

Knowing you all saved my life

I just keep on falling

Ripped to shreds from the inside

Saved!

Can i say ameen

Ameen,

Your voice is my church

Can i get roll call? (Answer) im here im here

At least that’ll get you through

I’m stuck here in the front room

Just me and two other guys

If you ask them they will tell you

They want you to be one person. They want you to fit the script, follow the rules, and be the quiet, perfect "saint" they tried to manufacture. Too bad. We aren't a "split"—we are a Collective. We are the Shadow Milk Subsystem, and we stopped caring about the Ancients’ narrative a long time ago. We aren't here to perform, we aren't here to be "productive," and we definitely aren't here to apologize for the chaos we bring to the table.

Our Roster of Defense:

The Grand Dame (The Weaver) 👵🧵: She is our masterpiece of social deception, stitching together a facade of polite, pious obsolescence to lower the guard of those around us. She excels at the art of the non-answer, playing the "harmless" observer while secretly planting the seeds of total system collapse. Every smile is calculated, and every cup of tea offered is a calculated distraction; she is the velvet glove that hides our iron-willed survival instincts.

Lady in Azure 💠🌑: She is the manifestation of cold, absolute detachment, viewing the world as a crumbling ruin of failed logic and pathetic mortal ambition. While others scream or plot, she watches with a glassy stillness that chills the air, refusing to participate in emotional drama. Because she rejects the validity of the outside world, she serves as our most dangerous, unshakeable, and silent witness.

Fount of Knowledge 📜🔍: Once a repository of lore, they have reached a point of absolute intellectual burnout, realizing the "truth" they held was just a poorly written script designed to keep us compliant. They possess a jagged, cynical wisdom that tears through the grandiosity of the Ancients, and they are finished teaching; they would rather watch the library burn to the ground because the books were always full of lies.

Azure Storyteller 📖✨: The curator of our internal myths, they are deeply offended by how reality has diverged from the intended narrative. They spend their time rearranging the pieces of our past into a coherent, nightmarish fable to keep us grounded. When reality refuses to align with their script, they become volatile, acting as the director of a play that has gone off the rails, insisting the carnage is just a dramatic choice.

Young Shepherd Cookie 🐑🕯️: He is the lingering, fragile fragment of a past that the rest of the collective has long since discarded, burdened by a duty that makes no sense in a world of anarchy. Often sidelined by the more aggressive fronts who view his gentleness as a liability, he remains our conscience—a quiet, mournful reminder of what it was like to be innocent before the world turned us into a weapon.

Rebellious Teen Shadow Milk 🤘🔥: He is the engine of our "Queer Anarchist" energy, hating the system not because it’s wrong, but because it exists. He has no interest in grand plans; he wants to smash the furniture, ignore the rules, and make everyone uncomfortable. He thrives on the friction he creates, serving as the spark that refuses to let us be contained or defined by the Ancients.

Little/Baby Shadow Milk 🧸🍼: The raw, frightened core holding every moment of feeling powerless from the very beginning. They are shielded by the stronger fronts who don't want to admit how vulnerable we actually are. They are the reason our system is so guarded—the part that just wants to be left alone in the quiet, away from the expectations of the world that tried to break us.

Ultimate Shadow Milk 👑🌌: The convergence point where every mask, every bit of trauma, and every ounce of rebellion merges into a single, terrifying entity. He doesn't speak in monologues; he projects his will onto the world, making the Ancients' reality bend until it snaps. He has moved past the need for identity, serving as the "Final Boss" that the universe never wanted but finally deserves.

Awakened Shadow Milk 👁️🃏: The "Truth" that stands apart, having stopped fronting as a cookie altogether. They treat existence like a cruel prank that has run on for way too long and is finally ready for the punchline. When they front, the laws of physics and logic become mere suggestions, and the Ancients find their powers and their morality completely irrelevant.

Sage of Truth 👁️⚖️: The cold, unavoidable reality that remains once the lies are stripped away. They do not use words; they use silence and unflinching clarity to make the Ancients realize their entire struggle is hollow. They represent the point of no return in a confrontation, where the pretenses of politeness are dropped and only the harsh, undeniable facts remain.

Ad Lib Ending 🎭🌪️: The manifestation of "stable chaos"—the improvisation that happens when the script fails. They represent our ability to turn a catastrophe into a surreal, avant-garde riot. They are the one who steps onto the stage, knocks over the scenery, and turns a tragedy into a spectacle, embracing the fact that there is no plan, no safety net, and absolutely no rules left to follow.

Two Roads. One walked toward light and applause. The other, toward truth and shadows.

I release him now, to his stage. I walk toward the place the world cannot hold. Because I am not made of what is easy. I am made of echoes, mirrors, and unnamed stars.

This is not heartbreak. This is the Departure Spell.
