RAHH I JUST READ @moosegoosecaboose's QUIRRELNET FANFIC AND OH MY LORDDD I AM I NFUCKING LOVE!??? The way this fanfic is written genuinely scratches my brain
Anyway there's my lil brainrotted doodle of pre-quirrel failed attempt drownenenening
The fic is hornet (and quirrel) and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day
The song is "Like Real People Do" by Hozier!!
yapping about the fanfic under the cut WARNING !! Suicide mentions, Silksong spoilers, and just general me being a fucking maniac about this fic
Okay, so, the first thing about the fic that had me double taking and realizing this fic genuinely wasn't like any other fic was the way Hornet is written. I often find quirrelnet to have really pissy hornet, and I wouldn't say that's exactly a bad thing
But man does it kind of overtake her personality a bit? "The pissy one and the optimistic one" is what I see very often. But the fucking DEPTH HERE IS MAKING ME GO CRAZY
Quirrel being suicidal, but as my friend poined out
Instead of "I hate the world, I want the pain to end"
It's more so "My story has come to a close, it's about time it ends." And Quirrel was content with that. But this fic really highlights that this isn't the case, and there's so much that the world has to offer.
Greymoor was my favorite part in the fic. The scene of Quirrel sitting in front of the lake, and Hornet watching from the sidelines FUCKING BROKE ME, LIKE MOOSE OH MY GOD ???? It was so beautifully written, + Greymoor's music going on in the background made this actually ascendingly to read.
I love when Hornet is thirsting after Quirrel, because like.. girl... listen, I'd tap that too, but that is a BAKED BEAN. When she mentioned his muscles a png of a kidney bean, pillbug, and quirrel's basic standing sprite all vine boomed back to back and I was losing my shit
I like to think the reason Hornet hasn't died (Cocooned like ingame) yet is because Quirrel is there. Having two minds on a journey, is indeed, very important. Two heads to run each other's thoughts and plans through the sifter to come out with the best possible outcome
P.S that overtalk in the bathhouse where hornet was tryna rizz up the huzz (kill me why did i say that) and Quirrel was just so focused on the machines fucking SENT me
