[Opening night. Ben sits up in the rafters just moments before the show begins, whispering a sort of litany to himself. His personal little superstition to ensure a good show. On his belt he keeps a pair of scissors. There was too much of a risk not to have something to cut the threads should they show. There was too much depending on him for something to go wrong tonight. The curtain began to rise and the lights began to dim. He gave one last nod back to Stella and the crew, double checked that his harness was secure, and got in position for the first scene. He smiled to himself. This was the feeling he always chased when preparing for a show. The excitement of so much work coming to fruition. Finally.]

Showtime!

[ Oh, poor, pitiful puppet. Thinking everything was under control. It wouldn't do to spoil the play in its first act, no, how uncivil! The grand finale was far more suited to the role. The Web was good at waiting, after all. ]

Paul's hips just wont quit. Curvy boy.

The more I think about McLennon, the more I’m convinced John pined for him.

Paul knew John had feelings and although he cared for John, he couldn’t make that next obvious jump.

So he kept up the teasing and flirting until John finally snapped and decided he couldn’t take it anymore.

With this thirst trap around you, constantly reminding you of what you can’t have, I don’t blame John one bit for ‘burning it down’. He’d had enough and was tired of the ‘dangling’ carrot 🥕 Paul always displayed just out of reach.

Paul, you are a beautiful bastard who knew EXACTLY what you were doing.

You plunged me into lows,

Brought me back up to highs,

And I can never be quite sure,

Are you here for good this time?

I can’t help moving with the pull,

As you string me side to side,

I wish I could hold myself still,

But I want you too much to try.

oi. look at this thing *yeets @devils-of-stardust at you*

Oh. Hello there, my dearest little one! :::}

[themotherofpuppets]

Oh thank gosh, I've found another servant of the Mother! For a moment, I truly thought a Lonely Avatar cursed me.

Oh, hello dearest! I'm afraid I'm no servant, but I'm glad to see another spider. Little as you are!
