Thinking about Pomni's episode 2 nightmare of being thrown away and forgotten, & the Pomni-Caine parallels.

Do you guys remember sometimes that Melanie was a famous ghost hunter youtuber? How many post-apocalypse videos out there that love to tell you what Youtubers Are Doing Now going "So Melanie King had an infamous breakdown and stopped youtube, went to work at a paranormal institute for a bit, then blinded herself in what we would usually assume was another breakdown except turned out the paranormal institute she was working at brought down the apocalypse and she became a sort of prophet-like figure during all of it, trying to help people. Anyway nowadays she still helps the community and is going strong with her partner, Georgie Barker, former podcaster who's also kind of general now I guess."

Sewer Rats AU ??? do i keep that name

list of things that happened to the detective I should probably post about

item 1: the armor thing

tried to get in on the dream dragon hunt when it was happening. got steamrolled. ran away. stumbled into the mind of a long dead god. got Storm'd while still in dreamknight mode.

??? (please hold, Storm-un-possession events still under construction)

got un-Storm'd

being struck by Dream Lightning while still in Dream Knight Mode kind of fused the knight armor to their dream body permanently.

ouch.

a short period of waking world fatigue and body ache + being painfully welded into a suit of armor in every single dream they had

eventually got advice from Ockham of @viric-dreams fame on how to transform the suit of armor into something easier to live with

Ockham is giving them Glasswork lessons now.

this entire thing prompts them to get more serious about Parabolan research in general, developing their hastily created base-camp into a proper research station. they want to Understand Dreams now. (this will attract the unfortunate attention of their reflection)

item 2: the honey thing (uh. content warnings for suicidality and chemically induced loss of agency.)

Way later down the timeline. post-Catherine Incidents. (I still need to do a proper writeup on Catherine. oh god.)

as mentioned in that one art post: befriended a deviless (Felicity of @t6fs fame). was given their own (wingless) lamplighter bee (her name is Longing) and taught how to work together with her to produce honey. they can now extract memories/feelings from a willing person into honey in a red-honey-adjacent-but-without-the-torments process.

they will eventually attempt to do that on themself, which will work. however. the process tends to bring Strong Feelings to the forefront of one's mind. and for the detective specifically, any strong emotion has a chance of triggering intrusive suicidal thoughts.

they will find out that whenever that happens, the batch of honey becomes tainted and acquires. properties.

it becomes Honey That Makes You Want To Kill Yourself Really Badly.

generally Drakona themself is able to resist its effects on account of they've spent 15 years doing this but for most others it's a lost battle. it's not impossible to weather the effects without acting on the urge but most won't. it would, unquestionably, be a very effective murder weapon.

they name it Gallows Honey. they also decide this thing should never see the light of day ever. they go full hazardous waste disposal on whatever they make by accident, making sure it's rendered thoroughly unusable.

there is an antidote. the antidote is produced via Drakona taking Gallows Honey and being Harvested From while they are actively fighting the urge to kill themself. it's a horrible grueling process. they make two doses of it and then stay in bed for a week.

it would suck so unbelievably bad for them to have anyone die to their Concentrated Depression so they are going to do everything in their power to make sure it's not known about, it's not available, and it somehow it does leave the townhouse, there are three people who know how to identify it and two of them (Felicity and Iffy) carry the antidote.

(Gallows Honey, for the record, is a weird desaturated yellow with a silvery sheen to it. has the smell, taste and consistency of normal honey, but a horrible bitter aftertaste once swallowed)

they can make normal honey from their own memories if they try. they just have to be very careful with it.
