"I'll play you."

"For what?"

"Your heart."

It's been twenty-two years since this couple, but they still remain one of my OTP's, and Omar Epps still has my heart.

It's a trip, you know? When you're a kid, you......you see the life you want, and it never crosses your mind that it's not gonna turn out that way.

Created an instance that exists almost entirely because I wanted to draw her in goth fits but now it's probably one of the ones I think about the most

I haven't drawn her yet but the concept is she's a regular ass person in the 80s who is in a goth band. It's very normal up until Dantelion decides to possess her for a little TOO long, and consequently, she starts getting dreams about eyes and being watched and suddenly feeling like she is not supposed to exist. Which technically she isn't but that's okay.

It spirals further as she keeps experiencing fucked up dreams and hallucinating eyes in the mirror so she starts feeling like there is something inherently wrong with her and develops an irrational fear of eye contact and being watched which is Not Great if you are in a band.

She starts wearing sunglasses all the time because she fears that if someone makes eye contact with her they'll figure out something is wrong or think she's going mad, which she is scared of, and that the person would send her to a mental institution or start shunning her. This eventually extends to any depictions of eyes whatsoever but there's the conflict of living under extreme fear every day and also trying to maintain a normal image because she's scared of other people thinking something is wrong.

It most likely ends with her doing the only things that technically resolve the issue; gouging out her eyes or killing herself.

This is probably one of the first few instances created by Dantelion hence how she ended up possessing her for too long: she didn't yet know the consequences, and this is one of the things that made her learn the limitations of her abilities. I do imagine her witnessing Monica have the first dream about her and the paranoia starting and being like 'oh I fucked up'
