[somewhatgayy]

For humans... and for these beasts too,

Innocence was a luxury they couldn’t afford

In this endless suffering, to love and be loved

To hold onto hope for a day that may never come

Is that a survival instinct, or selfishness?

At the center of it all was a woman

A woman now called a witch, who always searched for love

Can we really blame her for that?

Where did this original sin begin?

In the face of a trial with no clear answer

Can these lives ever overcome it?

Lyrics: KARMA by VIVINOS, English lyrics from the Wiki

I finally have the third set for the third karma monologue and my fourth chapter of this batch from An Absurd Fairy Tale! This is a late submission for PH month 2025 Friday, Nov. 28: Winter.

I'm excited because this set of lyrics/panels are especially relevant for both the original and the fic, imo, as well as looking forward to PH month 2026's last batch of chapters for An Absurd Fairy Tale.

Thank you again @i-prefer-the-term-antihero @phmonth for putting PH month together! <3

You’ve been running away from the very beginning

Not once did you face your real feelings

Did clinging to some noble cause or sense of justice ever really fix anything?

What came of it? A meaningless death

And even if we’d been granted freedom

We’d have still felt alone

Because humans are the root of all this pain

We’re creatures who can’t seem to love

 Without exploiting

Lyrics: KARMA by VIVINOS, English lyrics from the Wiki

I really wanted the first one to be Oswald POV about Oswald+circumstance, and this one to be Jack's POV about Oswald+circumstance, with the end of this one being more tied to the fic. We got another chapter of An Absurd Fairy Tale! New character added to the tag list for the first time in a bit!

I've been sick so I didn't think I'd have the oomph to get a chapter out yesterday or today like I hoped, but then I was struck with inspiration for Jack and Oswald Divorce Saga Mega Crash-Out Part 1000. This entry is for PH month November 25th, "Thorn".
