I just learned that people actually felt attraction to fictional characters. I can’t possibly see how that could even work. Please tell me if this is true for you.
Let's not forget to mention us ace subclasses that literally crave romance but physically can't have it cause just no. I can't properly explain other than I want a relationship but realistically I feel nothing with others, so I end up with fictional characters cause I know it'll never actually happen.
That being said I did lick the spoon clean that I used to mix it but I’m chalking it up to a brief tea induced moment of insanity since it is very bad tasting, I’m currently wondering if I can cook it into something so it doesn’t go to waste
it's gonna taste a little soapy probably, depends how strong your lavender syrup (or whatever) is, lavender does that but given all you've consumed I think you can survive it
"Thank you so much for inviting me over for dinner tonight." You gave a small bow to show your respect and appreciation for this invite. A invite that only happened because of Pierrot.
"Pleased to welcome you to our home for such a special occasion, my dear." Jester said, as he grinned at your show of respect towards him and the others. "Dinner is just about ready to be served. Please go help them find their seat, Harlequin."
"Right..." Harlequin started walking, as you followed him behind without a word.
Everything looked as normal as you'd expect. Well as normal as one can be having dinner together in a circus tent that is.
You took your seat at the table, Harlequin surprisingly being a gentleman and pulling your seat out for you to sit in, then pushing it back in.
"If you don't like the food, just play the act you enjoy it." The green clown whispered into your ear before walking off.
You raised a brow at his words, wondering why he'll say that. Perhaps they cook differently than you're used too. They do travel a lot after all...Which makes you wonder...Where exactly do they come from?
After a moment of waiting, the troupe arrived with bowls of food in hand already prepared and served. Placing their owns at their chosen seats, then placing a bowl of your own before you.
It was soup, with what looked to be beef and vegetables in it. The aroma was strong but pleasant, it smelled as delicious as it looked.
The troupe then took their seats, getting ready to eat. Pierrot took a seat next to you, smiling at you with a blush. While Harlequin sat across from you, his eyes subtly observing you.
"We do hope you enjoy what we are serving tonight. Pierrot worked very hard on it, after all." Jester stated as he grabbed a spoon and lifted his mask up a little, hardly showing his face as he started to eat.
The rest followed suit, disappointing you a little to not be able to see their faces truly. Though you tried to not let it bother you as you picked up your spoon too and prepared to eat.
You were careful to not burn yourself as you blew on it a little, then took your first taste of it. Enjoying how tasty it was.
"It's so good! Thank you!" Your compliment made Pierrot's heart skip a beat. He was absolutely over joyed by this news as he focused on eating too. Though part of him wanted to just watch you eat than eat himself.
You happily kept eating until you stopped, as you froze to the sight of something in your soup. It was round, looked squishy...then closer inspection revealed to you that it looked like a eyeball. A human one at that.
The troupe froze in their actions for a moment, trying not to look suspicious as they kept eating, but their eyes were now on you.
Harlequin's eye widen in shock at the sight of the eyeball in your soup.
While Pierrot's eyes widened in fear, wondering how did this even happen. He was certain to give you a serving without any human ingredients, unless he accidentally gave you the wrong bowl...
Jester and Ticket Taker observed you intensely, their silence sharp. As the Doctor secretly reached into his lower coat pocket, as he slowly grabbed a syringe. Which was filled with something that would knock you out in a instant if needed.
You wanted to say something, do something at the sight of it, but you didn't want to look disrespectful. Just wasn't prepared to see they would have animal eyes in their food.
Perhaps this is what Harlequin was trying to warn you about.
You stared at it nervously, but then took a silent big gulp before bracing yourself to eat it. Though before you could let that eyeball reach your lips. Pierrot stopped you, grabbing your wrist fast and hard as you dropped the spoon and food on the table in shock.
"D-Don't eat that, my dear. It's--" He tried to come up with a convincing excuse but he froze as he noticed Jester glaring at him.
"It's very bitter and sour. It'll ruin your appetite if you eat it." Harlequin lied, giving a good excuse as tried to help Pierrot in the moment.
Ticket Taker gave Harlequin a stare, judging him silently over his actions. The green clown tried to not let it bother him as he went back to eating.
"Y-yes...What he said. We apologize for it being in your bowl. We don't know how it got in there..." Pierrot stated as he felt his heart racing in a panic.
"Oh...That's okay. I appreciate the warning over it." You said with a small smile, as Pierrot slowly let his grip go of you. His hand trembling from this all, as he forced a smile back of his own.
The Doctor stood up from his seat, grabbing a napkin, then walked over to your seat to help you clean up the mess around you.
You gave him a small "Thank you" as he nodded silently in response. Then he took the napkin, with the eyeball within it, and walked away in silence to toss it in a near by trash bin. Then arrived back to take his seat at the table, acting as if nothing happened.
Jester's glare slowly faded as he tried to put on a innocent act. "Yes, we apologize greatly over it. Though please continue to eat. The soup itself should be enough to satisfy you." He said as his eyes ordered Pierrot to stay still and seated, as he noticed him reaching over for your bowl to take it away.
You nodded with a smile, then continued eating, trying to ignore the light pain you felt on your wrist from Pierrot's earlier grab. Though your morbid curiosity troubled you, as you did wonder how that eyeball tasted.
At least the soup still tasted really good to you. Even though you were unaware you were taking part in cannibalism now.
Oof, so the vital instrument concept thing has been popping up on my Instagram. I've seen some really cool ones, but I can't figure out what mine would be or how to even figure that out. 😭
I'm thinking my jumbo doodle demon plush or my telescope.
So I played The Freak Circus when I saw it started gaining popularity back in November, and played the Day 2 update.
The dream was about the Jester. It was cute but also sad. He had a baby daughter he loved and would always give her his portion of humans the cruel human gave them (back when they served/performed for the cruel human), even if it meant starving! She was his pride and joy after all.
The other crew members nice as well. Ticket Taker would always watch her when the Jester was busy performing for the humans, the Doctor would make sure she was healthy, Pierro would always entertain her with a smile anytime she would cry, and Harlequin, well, he would just neutral. He wasn’t a big fan of babies, but she was a quiet one so he had no problems with her. Sometimes even gave her a few fingers of his portion of humans.
At some point, they got separated. The human they served saw her as useless, a distraction for the Jester, and a waste of human flesh. So he took her one day and told some people who worked for him to get rid of her.
Jester was devastated, and his hatred for humans skyrocketed.
The crew including Jester thought she died. After all, how could a baby survive on their own? She couldn’t hunt humans, and humans are cruel themselves. Probably killed her.
But she was fine (idk how. She just somehow magically ended up managing to feed herself while being a baby) and was growing up.
She’s has a pretty serious and no-nonsense personality, but she will drop a few teasing jokes if she’s in a good mood.
Que after the death of Columbina, eating her, killing the cruel humans who tortured them, etc.
At some point, The Freak Circus of Horrors came to her town. The daughter, now around the age of a teen and never having been to a circus before, disguised herself as a human, bought a ticket, and entered.
I AM BEGGING ALL OF THE FREAK CIRCUS FANFIC WRITERS! PLEASE WRITE THIS! AND MAKE IT A SERIES. DO IT, AND MY LIFE, IS YOURS!
