It’s been 4 months since episode 7 and yet I’m still thinking about Swap Rags abstracting and hallucinating her dead girlfriend. Swap Lilypatch you will always be doomed 🌸🎀💖✨
Im so fucking pathetic I can't even wash without wanting to goddamn abstract I can't keep doing that I'm so pathetic and stupid and absolutely worthless I don't know why I'm even here it's too much I thought I was getting better! But people who are better don't curl up on the bathroom floor in tears with scratches all down their arms and then go and tell their tumble followers who LITERALY DON'T GIVE A SHIT that they want to abstract.
Zooble spawned in around Halloween, I think, and Caine had been doing a week of scary adventures for that... and most of them were pretty horrifying.
One in particular (probably the worst one) had been a mirror maze that showed us our fears in the mirrors, and it seemed to stretch on forever. The two of us had become very fast friends in the few days that they'd been there, so one of the things I'd seen in the mirrors was them... abstracting(?*). I knew logically it probably wasn't real, but it was so frightening that I was in shambles when he found me later. She helped me calm down then, and we got through the maze together after that... but that was the last adventure they ever went on voluntarily.
(I wonder if that's why Caine was under the impression that Zooble liked scary adventures, though, since the only ones they went on were horror themed...)
((*I'm not sure if what I saw was them abstracting, specifically... it sounds about right, but given I never met Ribbit, I would've had no idea what abstraction looked like- or maybe even what it was. But then, I guess it could've popped up in a previous Halloween adventure, or Jax could've described it to me to try and scare me or something... there's a lot to consider there.
...
I at least... I at least know I saw them hurt, in some way.))
With the new ep drop I'd like to say something very kind you can do for some of the tadc fictives and fictionkin on here is to tag art depicting abstraction and discussions of abstraction so that it's filterable! Personally we tag "#tw abstraction" but even just #abstraction works, or mentioning it in your post makes it filterable by post content.
