====> Wrap things up.
Denny’s gives you the best goddamn pancakes you have eaten in your life. They might be better because Sir Karksalot is there with you, who knows, but it’s the best meal you can remember and it’s hard to stop asking for more even when your belly protests painfully against. And maybe you guys just say there a while because for once, everyone seems safe and sound, nothing’s happening, and you are not alone in the hell bubble.
So maybe you follow him to his place. Maybe you waste more time with him, against him, until he has to go do something somewhere that is not here with you. It’s cool. You are not that needy of an asshole to lock him in his own house. Whatevs. You are totally cool.
His world is kind of hilarious though. So maybe you get up to some trouble and maybe he has to bail you out. And then maybe you have to make that up to him.
Maybe after that, you go see John. Is he going by John now? Somehow, the details aren’t all that important in this maybe situation. Maybe you go see him. Maybe you hold him, touch him, let him touch you. Maybe you spend the night and just chill out and be. Maybe you paint his rabbit green and put little pompoms on her ears.
That seems like a thing you’d do. You like this maybe thing.
Maybe after that, you go see Sollux and gape over his hair, wow. But hey, it’s a good look for him. Maybe you tell him that, just to see if he’ll blush because goddamn is that adorable. Maybe he lets you give him a hug. You’d liked that before. Maybe you hang and figure out how good a blind guy is at video games. Shit sounds hilarious.
You could even visit John’s Karkat, if you wanted. See what hilarious things he might be up to.
Maybe you meet new people and do new things and make the multiverse a better place from your presence. Maybe-
====> Stop stalling.
Yeah. You've spent enough time running away from your destiny.
See, the thing about being a Sylph of time? You know when the timelines end. You know exactly when your chances are up. When you've hit the last possible fork. That you will choose the wrong one. Your life has been an endless stream of wrong choices, but this time? This time the fork that ends you is the right one, the right choice, and this time you have to pick it.
It’s time.
You go back to the hell bubble. It’s been falling apart on its own and there’s no stable ground to stand on anymore. You float along the destruction, watching as debris is hit by the increasing time scars and blips out of existence. You don’t find Signless. You’re pretty sure he’s already dead. You don’t think the portals that saved you and the rest saved him as well. There’s no sign of the Cherub either. You kind of hope she’s dead. Someone like that... Well. Lets just say you’d have killed her yourself if you found her, if only to make sure she didn’t escape this.
There’s no core or center of the hell bubble, no spot you could stop and say “here’s where my last stand should be!” Last stand... Yeah. You probably shouldn't think too much about what you’re about to do.
You lift your hand. You close your eyes. You reach out.
====> Do something crazy.
Well. You’ve done crazier. Probably.
You rip the bubble into pieces. It shatters around you, millions of bits and half formed things torn asunder in what feels like centuries but you know is only seconds.
You take hold of the scars and tear the time wounds open full, letting them feast on the debris, clean up the mess of left over code and unique objects. You spent so long fighting the game and now you are doing it’s dirty work for it.
Something inside you twists and breaks. You ignore it. All that matters is that you finish.
Guiding the pieces takes every bit of concentration you have. You can’t leave anything behind. Can’t take the chance that the void monsters might escape an plague any timeline you’ve had contact with, that you’ve contaminated. You hope so hard that none of them have already.
When the last piece fades, you open your eyes and the darkness around you is shaded in orange. You look down at your hand. Half of it is fleshy pink. Two fingers are orange. You look at your body.
Somehow, you aren’t surprised that you don’t have legs anymore.
You can feel it now. Silence surround yous like a blanket. You can feel it’s almost over. It’s almost done. There’s just one more thing to do.
You think of Jade and Hal. You wonder what it might have been like if you’d chosen them in the second session. If you’d gone to their victory. It’s been tugging you ever since because you are still connected to them and you presence causes strain on their timeline every second you keep breathing.
Well. That’s kind of depressing. Eh.
You close your eyes again. You flatten your hand over your heart.
You make it stop.
====> Greet Death like an old friend.
Well. You would, all the melodrama included, but then a metal hand clamps down on your wrist. You jerk, startling as the other you, the one from the fever dream, wrenches your hand back from your chest. He doesn’t say anything, just grabs your face with both and forces you to look at him. His shades are gone, red eyes focused completely on you, and you wonder what he’s seeing.
“Moron,” he mutters and it’s almost affectionate. “You’re done, man. Just stop.”
“That’s totally not what I was just trying to do,” you gripe and he rolls his eyes.
“Yeah, well, lets get this going outside the heroic sacrifice realm, shall we?”
“Like there’s another choice.”
“Look, I know in you end all and be all world that you’re all crazy for this suicidal bullshit. I’ve been there. But you don’t have to wink out of existence just to save the main timeline. There’s another option.”
You look at him, at his calm face and his replaced arm and the way he’s seems so solid, so settled. You wonder how he got that way. You wonder who has his back.
You give in and let him guide you.
====> Take her hand.
She’s screaming for you and it’s confusing because why is she here, why would she- She’s begging you to hear her and you’re having trouble remembering why her voice is so surprising.
You’re unraveled, fading, and you don’t think this is a bad thing, but she’s crying for you. She’s reaching out. And after what feels like eternity, you let her find you. You let her bring the scattered pieces of you together and make you whole again. You stop fighting as she drags you with her to the light.
You wake up with the noise of Houston in your ears and fall out of a tree. It’s a start.
Everyone seems to mostly be okay? Your count is fuzzy, you are not sure exactly who was there, but Dove is okay.
GT: i think maybe we are. GT: wow. GT: it has kind of been a while, huh? GT: i mean, i am exploring some kind of space station thing, but it seems very friendly so far!
Why did you say that? You’re just going to worry him, dumbass. But you said it because you’re already worried about yourself, and you are not selfless enough (or at least not fast enough) to not talk about it. GT: i am trying to get Sollux and human karkat to look after each other, they are both safe back on the meteor i think. GT: hopefully i will find my way back there soon.
The waitress has blue hair. You fail to be surprised but something about her seems very familiar. She's nice enough to take your order though so whatevs. You're getting fucking pancakes.
TG: space station TG: dude be careful like you never know what could be on some abandoned space station TG: havent you seen alien TG: that shit is so sketchy TG: so like TG: watch your back okay TG: i got a message from sollux and hes like ridic cheery but alive so thats all i care about TG: nothing from human karkat though TG: but he kind of hates me so whatevs
-- talismanGallant [TG] began pestering convertedGeneticist [CG] --
TG: yo shouty TG: you alive man TG: and in once piece TG: that is the preferable state
TA: uh i d0n’t know where i am but it’s safe. i think it might be the mete0r but i don’t kn0w for sure.
TA: i haven’t seen KK but supp0sedly we went through the same p0rtal so he can’t be far. TA: y0u’d better be sending concerned messages t0 him to0 though it’s n0t as important if s0mething happens to me. TA: n0t that anything would happen t0 me because absolutely n0thing bad ever happens to any0ne i know but in the0ry you sh0uld spend more res0urces worrying ab0ut him.
TA: jontan is t0tally ridiculous l0l i swear he wants to be attached t0 you at the hip at all times. TA: but then again s0 does every0ne else.
He's alive. He's okay. He's (probably) safe. Okay. Good. This is good. He sounds a little too overly happy and hopeful but fuck, you'll take that right now.
TG: ill send something his way TG: but dude i would be slightly put out if you got hurt TG: so continue not doing that TG: for my peace of mind if nothing else
This fucking guy. You swear he does this shit on purpose. You reread his last two messages and feel your cheeks heat despite the fact that you'd been panicking not five minutes ago. Is that genuine flirting? Last time you acted one something like that, you got slapped. But hey, Striders gotta stride. Harmless flirtation is fun.
TG: that include you TG: cause i got enough hip to go around TG: i am in possession of plenty hippage
Maybe if you pretend everything is okay, the way Sollux thinks it is, somehow you might start believing that.
You’ve been concentrating so hard on ignoring the others that you miss when there’s nothing to ignore anymore. Even though Dove isn’t actually yelling at you while he freaks out, it’s very distracting having it come through like that.
CG: shut up would you? CG: i’m suddenly short a couple people here. CG: how about you calm the fuck do-
You never get to finish transmitting the thought maybe he should calm the fuck down so they can figure out what the hell is going on, because a time rip-void portal has opened up on your back, which had formerly been your front. You never should have turned around, or you’d have seen it coming. You blip on and off seconds after he does, because the unseen portal decided to eat you. There’s a delay in the reconnection, causing your messages sending around his and making the resultant conversation as follows, while you stare up at an unfamiliar sign, ears pressed against your head to block out the noise of the cars going by. TG: what the hell CG: dove… TG: why am i at dennys CG: what’s denny’s?
TG: a shitty diner TG: wait youre a troll do trolls even have shitty diners TG: do you have diners at all TG: what the hell ever just TG: its a place and this is literally like the shittiest one ive ever seen TG: i got a table though because i might as well get some fucking pancakes right
The diner is not quite as shitty as you are making it out to be but that's not here nor there. You got a table near the kitchen door because it's warmer there and you are kind of fucking freezing for some stupid reason (the sprite knowledge could tell you why, but you don't try to access it. It's been getting harder and harder the longer you aren't a sprite.)
TA: hi!
You breath, stuttery and uneven. But it's okay. It's all okay because he's okay. Obviously.
TG: jesus christ man TG: did you pop up somewhere safe TG: cause jontan said youd dropped yourself through some kind of voidtunnel
GT: dove, i’m okay.
GT: i’m okay. i promise. GT: worry about yourself. GT: i think roxy’s void portals got mixed with the weird time tears somehow and now … anyway, i am in some kind of space station thing that looks way less doomed than your place. GT: get yourself out. GT: please.
You breath once, twice, and try to stop the panic. But at this point, you are also standing outside a shitty diner. What the fuck is your life.
TG: i just got hit with one too TG: magic school bus adventure for the win TG: but its cool TG: im okay TG: so maybe were all okay
God, you hope so. For now though, maybe you deserve some fucking pancakes. You decide to go in and see if the Dennys decides to morph into some monstrous nightmare. Can't be worse than your hellbubble.
TG: so i guess u got caught by one of my stray little baby portals too???
TG: i got nora with one TG: jontan asked me 2 help save u so i tried TG: and HEY lets not get picky here TG: technically i DID save u!!! ur not in hallowbubble nemore TG: id like to hear a little more gratitude for my services jeez TG: ummmm TG: but srsly aside from being at a shitty diner TG: lmao btw TG: r u ok??? TG: i didnt rlly mean for this to happen TG: and i know i made it thru ok and so did nora TG: but that doesnt mean Roxy Voidlines r like….safe yknow?? TG: and idk where every1 ended up
TG: yeah TG: i guess you did save me TG: good job hero TG: im okay TG: just like sitting in this dennys TG: theres a waitress named marge who i swear to god has blue curls and a pearl necklace
She's standing over by the register, chatting up some other waitress with purplish hair and the worst smoker voice you've ever heard.
TG: i heard from jontan karkat and sollux so theyre alive TG: so i guess good job TG: were all in on piece TG: and some of us are in a shitty diner
I THINK we’re done here, but I’m not sure. Click through for quality’s sake because tumblr is a monster to art.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
This picture is Jontansprite and his matesprit Dove ( talismangallant ) cuddling in a giant bird nest of fabric eggs (inspired by an art project ). The scene was the suggestion of halfblindhalfdead . The eggs are soaked in sopor slime, which is pretty disgusting but definitely helps for a relaxed cuddling experience.
I love this picture so much. The pose is amazing, the pose is so amazing, it’s just…wow. It’s complicated and everything is perfect. I like Jontan having darker hair and claws, it really makes him look weirder and less human when the coloring is different in those parts. They just look so sweet and so comfortable and aaaaaaaaa. And the slime is drippy and oozy and staining Dove’s pants, and Dove’s scars are really well done, and I love the grub leg nubs on Jontan, and …. I really really like this picture an awful lot.
This is another amazing commission from trickstersgambit , who I highly recommend, he’s been a complete joy to work with and very enthusiastic about his art. ( commissions page ; art blog ).

—thesisGarroted [TG] began pestering talismanGallant [TG]— TG: doveling TG: so i know u got some things goin on and ur probs super busy TG: but im waaay sorry for breaking ur home TG: like breakin it more i mean TG: tbh im not sure u can tell what with ur poor landscaping decisions TG: any slumber parties will best be had in my void i think
TG: thb TG: it was kind of already pretty damn broken TG: and kind of really shitty TG: but let me guess TG: are you to blame for the portals TG: cause i gotta say TG: shitty diners are not exactly my first choice when it comes to destinations
You did. You don’t know quite what you did yet, but it’ll be great when you figure it out.
CG: iou on the ring then. CG: fresh out of rocks. CG: but you’ll have one you’ll be proud to show off to every girl. CG: why is it only girls? CG: providing’s a whole different thing. CG: i’d end up bringing you the corpse of some giant beast if you want proof of that.
You would continue this because it's hilarious (and you're still blushing, he's such a bastard) but around then, Jontan informs you that he lost Sollux through a tear and may have run into one himself and you are officially FREAKING THE FUCK OUT.
TG: shit shit shit can you TG: are you anywhere near TG: fuck of course you arent why would TG: shit shit shit sollux isnt answering and i dont know where anyone is and
And that is when the weird, shimmery portal decides to open up under your feet. It doesn't look like a time tear, doesn't feel like one either, and you don't have time to react before you're falling through it.
