no dude it's so cool how attached you are to that character who is singled out and ostracized due to the external monstrousness that clashes with their internal spark of humanity. and i love how drawn you are to themes of horror and love, nature versus nurture, otherness, isolation, and the abject. i bet you have normal feelings about your own personhood
I ran into this post years ago and to be honest, it has completely reoriented the way I engage with food.
Like. I’ve always sorta understood that things grow moldy or stale or sour or such if left out, but I never really internalized it in a meaningful way.
But now I’m just like.
Yeah. The hungering dust. There exists omnivorous dust in the air that will eat my food if I don’t.
Those bagels have been sitting there for a week. Are we going to eat them soon or are we leaving them for the hungering dust?
Pizza’s been sitting out on the counter for an hour. Everyone’s enjoying the pizza, but if we don’t want “everyone” to include the hungering dust then we should probably put it away soon.
That’s just. That’s how food works to me now. There exists an invisible predator in the air that hungers for your yummies, and it will not hesitate to eat your food if you don’t make the effort to protect and preserve it. And eat what can’t be preserved before the dust can.

Im fast as fuck BOI. i just want to get to the ending soon GOD i want yall to see it.
Interesting, how many people suggested that Rosie's demon form is a mantis. I thought more about black widow lol. Someone pointed out that the hair thingies look kinda like angel wings too. Which, i guess, works if we go with a theory that she's a fallen angel.
But whatever she is, an angel, a human, a hellborn, evil herself, she still isn't perfect and can make mistakes. She is hurting for Alastor, she doesn't want him to be hurt anymore, but in attempt to protect, only ends up hurting him too. We can blame this one on Vox too though, he showed up there, scared her, scared Alastor, made them both do stupid things out of fear.
Speaking of Alastor he's... he's not well. He's too hurt, scared and tired to think rationally, and the first option he sees to minimize the pain is to please the abuser... a pattern, he's very familiar with from his life... And what makes it worse, he saw this method work in a short run. Rosie also knows this pattern, and she hates to see that Alastor also falls into this trap, like many others. But she can't do anything withour hurting him, and after all, he's right. She can't keep Vox away from Alastor forever. She can't lock Alastor in cannibal town (well, she can, but at what cost?), and Vox also isn't too stupid or weak, he can learn to fight the cannibals, or avoid them, and then... Well, let's not go in there eheh ^^"
Thing about the scars, many people asked, so, i have a headcanon, that injuries tied to especially strong emotions and traumatic moments take longer to heal, time proportional to the said emotions. So, yeah, injuries from that night will take a while to fully disappear.
And NO IT WASN'T ALASTOR'S SHIRT VOX WAS WEARING wow, the amount of people who thought that is hillarious. Alastor's shirt would be too small for vox come on, people, think!!! Plus it has different collar. Vox is but copying him, as he always does. I know the fat Alastor has different shirt now is kinda plays into the idea that Vox took his old shirt, bur he didn't okay? x)) it's different color even.
Also yes they live together since year 1, before the first time, then Alastor didn't move out in hopes that his constant requests would make vox break the deal.
AND ALSO some of yall need to go and refresh their memory on part 5.

This would have had me crucified on tumblr 10 years ago but maybe we are ready for this conversation now:
If you are a socially anxious person, you have to socialize. Your panic/anxiety attacks will only get worse and trigger more frequently if you constantly avoid contact with The Public. Not saying that you need to be a social butterfly- but there is a genuine problem with not being able to order your own meal at a restaurant. And it cannot be solved by always having someone else do it for you.

everyone who reblogs this and is like "I ordered my own tea this week" or "I only barfed once when I had to give a presentation'- you are doing amazing sweetie. Have patience with yourself, you are relearning a skill so difficult that people get 4 year degrees to do it professionally.
