Fucked around and Found out

[@guardofgreymoor <-but back when in cittadel before events(tm)]

"oh!" The young creature spun around from whatever she was looking at, she was clearly in shock from seeing another weaver.

"I, um, yes, yes you could say that I'm new here" she spoke timidly yet couldn't help staring at the weaver with big eyes. This was the first time they were seeing an alive weaver and she didn't know how to feel.

Cadaver couldn't help but compare herself to the weaver, silently making comments in her mind about how different she is from this creature. How is she supposed to be the 'perfect' daughter when this is what she's competing with?

"um, this is my first time looking around," she continued, not mentioning that she was supposed to have guards with her,

[they reach out as if to touch her shoulder but reconsider and fiddle with their staff]

im probubly the best weaver for you to first meet- I've been here forever but everyone else is kinda scary- hehe- don't tell them I said that

[their antene flick softly as they fidget nervously]

"S-sorry, I'm not used to other weavers", they apologized to the other," are they?" They asked the other weaver when they said the others were scary, "I'm usually only allowed in the cradle,in my room, so I don't normally see a lot of weavers around."she stated

Upon hearing the weavers offer, she lit up a little!

[they spoke fast, way to quick, it was light and happy until they talked about the weavers then they dimmed a bit, they kept shifting from foot to foot and fiddling with their staff]

She cocked her head to the side when Neeva mentioned the other weavers and how she was treated. It reminded them of how Grand Silk Mother and Satin made her feel. She didn't know what to say to make the weaver feel better but she felt compelled to say something anyways

"you'll pr-prove them wrong one day", she said as she reached out and placed a hand on the weavers shoulder. She rested it there for a minute before she quickly let go, clearly feeling awkward. This still was her first interaction besides mother.

"Then I'll be su-sure to p-protect you" they said with a light chuckle," though I don-dont know how much I'd be ab-able to help you, I've yet to train my pin ski-skills", she admitted although it did make her embarrassed.

How could she ever hope to leave the citadel if she did not know how to fight. Even the weavers had basic training from what she remembered. They shook the thoughts outta their head and looked back at Neeva,

[they start walking backwards Infront of her so they can face her while walking]

-yea but I guess I like the crochet hook <staff shaped like a crochet hook> makes a nice walking stick if I feel weak but i almost never feel weak now since mother did that thing with my silk- Camora is jealous I can tell- she acted all happy for me but shes mad Witch is stupid cus she can just heal herself- but atla was happy for me- shes always nice to me- but oh I'm rambling- we're almost there-

[they spun back to face forward and stuttered their steps until they were besides Cadaver, their anttene twitching evr'y once and a while]

oh my goodness ! we never introduced ourselves!!! gosh and I'm supposed to be polite- I'm Neeva! weaver of children!

She quickly shook those thoughts out of her head and followed Neeva, listening with intent and curiosity. She looked in awe at the Crochet hook before stuttering out a reply,

"o-oh, well I'm no-not too well versed with the-the pin. It's a gift from mother."she admitted," I kinda w-wanna tr-try the long pi-pin one day...maybe i-i could even learn to use th-that hook one day!" She sounded excited at the thought of it.

"oh? What did m-mother gift you?" She asked with peaked curiosity.

She stopped walking as Neeva introduced themselves and immediately got embarrassed, she hadn't introduced herself either,

"o-oh! U-um nice to-to meet you Neeva" she responded with a curtsy and began her introduction," I a-am Cadaver, child of Grand Silk Mother", she bowed her head before going back to normal.

oh! i-its nothing really- uh-

[they looked embarrassed]

she just..uh..fixed my silk- I had really bad controll of it- I would always use too much but it wasn't my fault but it made me weak but she fixed it a few weeks ago and made it so I cold produce my own! then made camera teach me how to heal myself

hello Cadaver- oh- OH you're like satin!? oh my gosh! I've been so rude! ohmysilk you're practically her second in command!

[they bowed hastily but when they looked up Cadaver was looking around at the memorium]

Upon hearing Neeva say she was almost like her second in command made her feel a bit gleeful. She wanted to be a guard for mother, so hearing that shes that close to mother made her happy. Maybe she shouldn't have left her room..

[they had reached a wall but neeva tossed the hook up and it hooked onto a small walkway ment for some sort of flying or jumping bug to be able to reach]

this!

[they climbed up the hook deftly, using a bit of silk to pull themselves up, they turned around and looked down at her from over the ledge]

Cadaver watched in awe as they made their way up, she never thought about using it like that,

"Coming!" She quickly made her way to the hook and nervously climbed it, using a small amount, of what she could produce,of silk. She slipped once but quickly gathered her strength and grabbed back onto the hook.

Once she was up there she put her arms on her knees and huffed,"I- i don't know how you d-did that so smoothly" she looked up at Neeva,"I-i should work on t-that"she said as she picked up the hook.

Now they're interesting, but the REAL star of the show is one of his villains, John Doe the Generic Man, who's this guy in a stark white suit with flat pink unshaded, untextured skin with no features or anything who talks like chatGPT and has black text over his face that explains what he's feeling at the moment. That guy is fucking fascinating.

your “headcanons” (erasure) undo ANY positive effects that the representation existing in the first place might have.

your “headcanons” (erasure) allow for the spread of bigotry within the fandom because YOUR “HEADCANONS” make exorsexist ASSHOLES feel safe here.

your “headcanons” (erasure) delayed my own egg cracking for YEARS, because despite having the most CLEAR representation RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, the constant erasure and disinformation in this fucking HELLHOLE OF A FANDOM regarding the CANONICAL non-binary identities had me believing that i could never be anything other than a man or a woman.
