#walking corpse

Cotards culture is "I cant die/nothing can hurt me" because "I'm already dead" or immortality

Its feeling your body actively decaying, decomposing, rotting, falling apart and trying to move through rigamortis

Its constantly worrying other people can smell death on you

Its remembering you dont exist / are a ghost / are dead every time you feel invisible

Its waiting for someone to visit your grave and call on you so you can see it for yourself

Its hoping to see your grave whenever you're in the graveyard

Walking Corpse

"Is it hopeless? When wave upon wave of our dead return as mindless flesh-eaters to claw upon Thraben's walls? We're too busy cutting them down to indulge ourselves in such philosophical foppery." —Mikaeus, the Lunarch

My joints are barely sticking together and any moment now my limbs will come apart by the hinges

Someone will put me back together and for a while I'll think I'm a living human again, until I realize I'm still a dying walking corpse cursed to never pass on

All I feel is the pain of a body begging to be buried and free from the endless labour of being forced to pretend to be alive.

A fake heartbeat, whatever brain activity is left from electrical output..

The reason the doctors diagnoses us with anemia is because this sack of flesh and bone has so little. If course youd be low on iron when you're low on blood

And I crave it

But it wont fix me

Blood nor death

Walking Corpse (Innistrad) - Igor Kieryluk

for me, i believe i am either already dead or dying, depending on the day. some days i believe im dead, that mu body is a corpse and my stiff joints and back, the arthritis in my joints and limbs, etc, are the result of rigor mortis setting in, my limbs starting to part from my lifeless body. i often feel as though none of my organs work, the magority of them already decayed and gone or rotting. 

other days i feel like im slowly dying, dificulty walking or functons and mobility in general is due to my body shuttng down for the last moments of breath. my pulse speading up or slowing down could either assure me im still alive a while longer or further the idea im not real or about to die. sometimes feeling my pulse could trigger thoughts like "living things have a pulse, but m not living and i have one, so im clearly not a normal human".

i'll believe my body is only still managing to function or move or do anything at all because dead or not...
