Always A Dance With You.

I just saw an animatic to this song about desert duo lmao

I want them worse when they’re with each other.

I want them to be negative influences on one another.

I need them to take one look at the other and know in their heart that there is no saving them. They are a doomed, twisted, tragic relationship that will lead to one of them hurting and killing the other. But for now, what they have is so passionate, so intensely intimate, they can’t bare to give it up until it’s forcefully ripped from their cold, perished hands.

I want the survivor to mourn the loss of something putrefyingly terrible because they will never be able to recreate the experience with another. I want the most toxic yaoi love possible.

I want them to look deeply into eachother’s eyes, holding the back of the the others head, as they speak in a tone like a wedding vow, that they promise they will never part, they will never escape, they will never be so happy, they will never be so miserable without the other.

In my favourite line from The Crane Wives song, Tongues & Teeth,

“I will only break your pretty things, I will only wring you dry of everything.”

“I will poison all your happy thoughts, I will love you like the ashes in my cigarette butts”

They are living so closely on the same wavelength that they are inseparable. They are menaces when they work together, one would burn civilizations to the ground for the other if they so desired. They would do anything for the other if only they asked. They annoy each other to no end. The are in love. They are in loathing.

They are so intensely passionate and obsessed, there is no way out but death. And one of them will die, soon, I’m sure. It’s only ever a matter of time. But they have the present, they have this wild inferno of the here and now, and they will not waste it.

Honestly fascinating how much The Lifers dehumanize themselves.

They so often see themselves as monsters, curses, weapons, rabid animals, assets, currency, anything but people.

Lives are currency, bodies are only as important as they are useful, every word they speak, every breath they breathe, they think of themselves in bargaining power and viability and use.

They cut off parts of themselves, it's okay, it won't be permanent. They push down their feelings and desires, because honoring them won't get you anywhere. They die. They wake up again.

Something puppets them, strings that can't be cut. There is no agency in this place, they are always on stage.

Something opens its mouth to devour them. They are livestock off to slaughter, their very emotions cuts of meat.

Something won't let them leave, traps them behind invisible glass. Bug taxidermy, butterfly wings pinned to a wall.

There's something inherently dehumanizing in the mere concept of the games. There is no end, there is no way out, there is no choice. You will kill, and you will bleed, and you will die, and They will feast on your performance, and you will wake up to kill again.

How can you keep seeing yourself fully as a person through that? How can you not start to look in the mirror and see a sharpened blade made for killing, or a puppet dancing on stage, or butterfly wings pinned to the wall, or livestock to slaughter?

This world is one that poisons the mind, destroys the body, and steals the soul.

Based on Scarian Death Game AU by sadagios, where an anon left a rather interesting idea to Sada. Mal took great inspiration from anon and Sada’s ideas, and formed a storyline revolving around them. She shared them with Sada, and thus, a new au of the original au was formed. Scarian Dating Game AU was now up and running!

Strange things happen to Gria, a game dev for “Evolutionist’s Portal”, after he takes home a disc with a dating sim game on it. His obsession with a character from the popular game series “Hermitopia” finally catches up with him, but at what cost? Through glitches and crashes, mixed feelings and concerning behaviors, perhaps what would have once been a dream turns into a horrible nightmare. But where will the story take you? Only you can decide your ending.

Gria was in need of a couple of spare parts to fix one of the appliances at his apartment, and where better to go for absolutely random parts than Big Ron’s down the corner? While the store associate, Bee, who was most certainly a college student taking a summer job, searched in the back for a slightly more obscure piece, Gria takes the time to look around at all the items dotted about the store. He swears there’s always something different each time he pops in, and it’s always interesting to see.

Then he spots something that is definitely out of place. Not that it’s strange to see a loose disc here, but it’s not with the others, and is just barely poking out from between two books sitting on a shelf. He slides it out, with the intention of putting it back into the bin of loose discs. But the clearly handwritten words on it catch his eye, rather than it having a printed image with text. ‘Project: HotGuys Dating Simulator’. He looks it over, and you know, he’s kinda bored, so why not check it out? It probably won’t be any good, but it can be something to just pass the time.
