PTSD and Thunderstorms (Eclipse Angst + Fluff)
Today Eclipse was in his lab, working on the Solar-Flare AI he was making for his father. His work came to an abrupt halt as he heard a crashing noise outside the lab. He went to the nearest window and looked outside.
A storm was rolling in, and as a flash of Lightning struck down close to the lab, Eclipse flinched. He hated thunderstorms mainly because of the lightning. It reminded him of when he was stuck in Bloodmoon’s head, and they’d shock him whenever he “misbehaved” or just for sheer fun, it reminded him of when he was…useless…completely at the mercy of another being, And he hated it.
No one knew Eclipse was afraid of Thunderstorms because Eclipse saw it as a stupid thing so he didn’t bother telling anyone, but this was a very, very big thunderstorm.
Another crack of lightning and thunder shook the area and Eclipse let out a small whimper as rain started pouring down. His rays retracted a bit, signaling he was scared and he ran to the bed in his room. He shoved himself under it and though it was tight he felt somewhat safer. Another loud thunder crash and a flash of lightning boomed through the lab as Eclipse curled up under the bed like a terrified puppy. “Don’t cry, don’t cry…” he mumbled, covering the sides of his head as tears pricked his eyes, another loud thunder crash Echoed through the lab again and Eclipse couldn’t help but sniffle a bit, he was scared…
Meanwhile KillCode had entered Eclipse’s section of the lab, looking around. “Eclipse? Where are you” he called out, ignoring the storm outside, he looked in the lab, Eclipse wasn’t there. That was odd, his eldest was always in his lab, KillCode went to go look in Eclipse’s room instead, he gave a small knock on the door.
Eclipse didn’t hear, he was too busy covering his sound receptors to block out the thunder, KillCode heard soft sniffles and cries on the other side of the door. “Eclipse? I’m coming in.” KillCode spoke softly.
KillCode opened the door and looked around, the rain blocking out the sound of his footsteps, the sniffling was coming from under the bed
KillCode peeked under to find a terrified curled up Eclipse, Eclipse looked up at Killcode alarmed not thinking anyone would find him like this. “My child…” KillCode mumbled, “what are you doing under your bed..?”
Eclipse was silent, unable to answer his father, he just glanced away as a tear rolled down his face. “…Is it because of the thunderstorm outside?” KillCode asked, his voice soothing and calm, Eclipse hesitated then whimpered and nodded. Another loud crash shook the lab and Eclipse flinched, curling up tighter.
“Oh my dear boy…don’t be scared, I’m here now” He said, putting a hand under Eclipse’s bed. Eclipse slowly extended his own hand out to hold it, but quickly retracted it back to cover his sound receptors as the lightning and thunder struck again, Eclipse choked out a sob as he curled up tight as possible.
KillCode hummed a bit, then sat on his knees and patted the floor a bit with his hands, “You can come out, it’s okay. Papa’s here now” he cooed, Eclipse unraveled a bit and inched himself out, then he sat up. KillCode opened his arms, offering a hug to Eclipse, and Eclipse accepted the hug, nuzzling into his father’s warm embrace. He flinched sharply as another loud crash echoed through the lab, and covered the sides of his head, KillCode put his own hands over Eclipse’s, helping to block out the sound. KillCode then got an idea and reached into his stomach-hatch and pulled out a pair of noise-cancelling headphones, he then gently removed Eclipse’s hands from his sound receptors and slipped the headphones over his head, now Eclipse couldn’t hear the storm anymore.
Eclipse finally relaxed in his father’s hold and leaned against Killcode’s warm body. KillCode smiled and rubbed Eclipse’s back in soothing circles, quietly shushing him and rocking him gently. Eclipse eventually closed his eyes and fell sound asleep, feeling safe for once…

Woooo! Go Harveeeest!
I have blood on my face because it is the WAR PAINT OF THE ANCIENTS, old man- it is to strike FEAR into the HEARTS OF MY ENEMIES, RAHAHAHAHAAAAA!
*Practically vibrating, pittering paws on the ground, tail wagging and giggling like a gremlin*
-Crumpet
//Harvest leaps into the air after his twin and, as if in slow motion, he reaches his hand forward just as he makes contact with Bloody, tackling him down to the ground. The two roll for a few feet, laughing and playfully batting at each other without any claws.//
Bloody: Brother! Did it!!!
Harvest: I did it! *laughs* I really did it!
Bloody: Didn't go slow! Didn't let you catch me! Did it for real!
Kill Code: Excellent job! Harvest Moon, you should be very proud!
Bloody: *laughs and tightly hugs Harvest* Did great! Did good!
Harvest: I did it! *laughs breathlessly*
Kill Code: Now. *turns to Crumpet* You cannot use blood as war paint. Come here. *licks his thumb and starts to wipe the 'war paint' away*

hi hello!
i am being very very normal about this video i swear
https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM6XEFBCc/
i am so, so week for guitarists 🫠 also the eye contact with the camera?! so, so normal i promise🫣
(i may or may not be using sleep token vids as a distraction from school stress and also stressing over presale tickets lmao)
I’m not being normal haha.
There’s too much to concentrate on at one time haha. I love his eyes in this lighting, (love that jacket gonna miss it), I love how you can still hear both Vessel and IV (tho Vessel is much quieter). I love how IV holds his hands as he walks away from the mic at the end. He has this way with his hands that I can only describe as elegant, but in a harsher way then I would describe Vessel’s. Where as III’s are… ‘sharp’ and II’s are ‘dominant’ for lack of a better term haha (idk if that’s right, but more so in the since of commanding then… anything else). And jeez…. Even the way he walks.
I was trying to think of something witty to say but I got nothing. I love how the camera pans over to show Vessel doin his little dancy dance at the end haha.
