riptide 53 monologue: jolly edition
Baby toothless
just found out that stoats hunt twice the size of them like rabbits by aggressively and eccentrically dancing around it with their little slinky rigatoni bodies so it can confuse the absolute fuck out of its prey until it can get close enough to jump on its back like some shadow of the colossus shit and take it down
me when i'm httyd-pilled
bring out the rotating tiger
something something chip knows celestial and is undead. something something fallen angel boy
FALLEN ANGEL BOY IM FUCKING WEEPING
Thinking about everything settling for a minute and Gillion looks at Chip and something flashes in his eyes, something that Chip can’t name. It’s like grief, but it’s also something that Chip is afraid of. He remembers suddenly that Gillion is trained to kill Undead.
Gillion takes a stumbling step forward towards Chip and instead of doing something logical, like backing away because he understands that Gillion might try to kill him, he meets Gillion in the middle. And Gillion collapses into him. And Gillion is crying. Because his best friend is now one of the things he was trained to kill on sight.
And Chip reaches for something in the back of his mind, something to calm Gillion. He starts to sing. He sings a lullaby in Celestial and Gillion is shuddering with how hard he’s crying.
The voice of an angel, an angels song, yet coming from a now unholy throat.
what would've (hopefully) happened if gillion didn't make it
bonus:
“sex/romance/empathy makes us human,” they say. awful. pathetic. what makes us human is the urge to set things on fire
