I watch as you peel away hair thin layer by hair thin layer. Translucent yellow skin desquamates like old wallpaper. I watch your brittle nails claw at your knuckles, wearing yourself down. Blood turns to puss. I see how your gums get tacky when you speak, the cringe of your lips as you taste the brine that pools beneath your tongue. I watch as you savour each shiver and shake of your clammy body because soon it will turn to writhing in the heat of fever and delirium. At least with the cold comes clarity. Clarity that your body is no longer your own.
The doctors say the dead hold no infection, so at least your body won’t belong to the Pest very long either.
Greying bandages wrapped around your swollen knuckles, your nails drawing blood into the palm of your hand as you clench your fists, trying to resist the temptation to free anymore of your skin. The itch burrows deeper.
Trembling grip scatters coins onto the shopkeeper's countertop, fall softened by the sag of old wood. Red glass eyes roll around your head. You wheeze as you try to kill the cough in your throat. Tainted bile runs faster through your thinning veins. You don’t want to go to a sickhouse. To agonise in naked heat on the floor, watching an infinite reflection of yourself, young and old. A chorus of wet, bubbling screams falling on deaf ears, guards and doctors stepping over ashen bone.
The shopkeeper slides a half pound of whatever’s not sour across the counter.
I watch you in the mirror at home as you bare flaxen teeth and prod at purple bloated gums. You try to dredge the dust collected between your ribs. Try to regain your draining youth by decorticating the epicarp of your lips. In the mirror I watch you unwind yourself, pulling at your threads, ignorant to your own submission as the Pest sleeps just below your ribs.
I’ll throw it here too for fun…. it’s just a mini interactive event for those who want to interact with the audience or their friends! you don't have to be a content maker, yeah,,,, it's only a convention and more like "which vibe do i give off" kind of thing
I did it so people could have fun ^^ if you are tired and feel like you just want to chat or discuss, then this is it!
If there are mistakes in the text, please let me know and I will try to change it! my english is bad due to the fact that I use a translator and some friends, but nothing more.
сюда тоже закину из интереса…. это просто мини-интерактивчик для тех, кто хочет пообщаться с аудиторией или своими друзьями! вам не обязательно быть контент мейкером, да,,, это всего лишь условность для анкетки, просто обычно я их видела в таком формате) больше мол "какой вайб я вам даю"
я сделала её, чтобы люди могли развлечься ^^ если вы устали и чувствуете, что хотите просто поболтать или обсудить что-то, то бахните! вдруг вам понравится х)
Didn’t see the Nara tag (Haven’t played P2 yet and so have no idea what her story is) and thought it was an allusion to Willow. I was about to cry and start contacting my lawyer
Not sure if this is going to make sense to the people who aren’t in my head (all of ya), but thought I’d pelt my 2 cents at ya. Didn’t get time to finish it, but just wanted to upload regardless. Maybe I’ll finish it later
Will and Pam are twins (Don't tell me the actors are 4 years apart in age, I'm not listening)
Will and Pam are both trans as well. (I like to think they came out at the same time. In the same breath)
Respectively gay and lesbian
Both of them feel like they'd be somewhere on the asexual and aromantic spectrum, although I couldn't really say where.
Pam (jokingly) threatens to make a hit piece on Will's company any time he doesn't do what she wants.
They are so obviously siblings when they're interacting irl (And not under serious threat), couldn't mistake them for anything else - Yes I'm retconning the pre-plot twist
Give me obscure (and/crack) Patho ships you like, I’m interested (All Patho ships are inherently absurd in nature so this really shouldn’t be too difficult)
Let's remind the rules: there’ll be 21 weekday topics and 5 for the weekend's.
The main topics (white font), and the weekends are Intermissions (red) which are optional, when you can relax or create smthng on special challenge-topics. Intermission for those brave ones who want to do something special. And it's also for those who aren't sure that they can pull all 21 day-works right now, but still want to participate.
❗ This year's new extra feature is the "Tell me a story" challenge theme. You can do everything as usual - a separate work for each topic, but this whole new challenge is for the most desperate ones: you can turn each week into a separate story from several parts! Will it be a comics, a whole short story or just differnet stories about same characters. Next week - new characters or a new plot. And we'll definitely tell in our digests and social networks especially about those brave hearts who'll dare to do it!
In Pathologic Fest, you can participate with anything you want: an art, a text, make a cosplay or craft, or even something else that comes to your mind. And we'll track and add to digests all works tagged with #pathologic_fest
Even if you find time for just one work, it'll definitely go into our digests and to our Telegram channel! And you can find there works of authors from other platforms (telegram, inst, twitter and vk) where we'll also be with tag #pathologic_fest You can find Pathologic Fest's accounts names at the bottom of the pic (we'll write about telegram later!)
And, plz, tell your friends about Pathologic Fest - so that as many authors and viewers as possible become aware about it.
After all, the more of us, the more interesting and colorful it will be! :)
Are you ready to start a new pantomime?
Challenge start on September 1st.
With love and wishes of inspiration, yours "White Box" ❤
Guys, I figured out the discrepancy of why Artemy’s, who is canonically fat, model looks thin. He’s wearing Spanx. Obviously. The only explanation, because he is fat. He is. Stop looking at the model. Stop telling me Spanx don’t exist in 1910, you’re wrong.
