[crazy circus] vol 6: fred - track eight
8; a strange power
masterpost
✿
[00:12] Good work today.
I’ll help you hang the laundry up.
I asked you to wash everything we weren’t using at once.
It must be hard to do it all alone.
No, it’s nothing.
It’s just… Hanging out the washing together like this…
It’s almost like we’re a couple.
Did that surprise you?
You’re so very cute.
Oh?
What happened to those clothes over there?
I see…
You dropped a lot of them, it seems.
You weren’t yourself during the ticket collection yesterday, either.
Sometimes you missed what the customers were saying…
And you dropped a few tickets too…
You don’t need to apologise.
But… What exactly did you dream about this time?
[01:36] Another dream about my diary?
And you think you might be the girl I mentioned, don’t you?
I see…
Well, seeing as you already know…
I’ll tell you.
Just as you said, I knew about you before you even came; I saw you in a dream.
I have the same power as you, after all.
By power I mean those strange dreams…
I see them a lot less now than I used to…
But people with strange powers have always lived in this world.
There are many different powers.
Ours is the ability to control our dreams and the dreams of others.
We can peak into the dreams and the past - even the hearts - of others in our dreams.
The dreams you’ve been having since you came here make sense if you think about it that way, don’t they?
That doesn’t make it any easier to accept, does it?
That’s why I decided to merely talk about the dreams you had with you.
I’m glad you opened up to me.
It’s dangerous to carry this power alone.
I told you before that my father died as if following my mother, didn’t I?
The truth is…
My parents had the same powers.
My father died because of it…
He couldn’t accept my mother’s death and grew depressed.
Every night in his dreams, he would search for her.
Eventually, he stopped waking from these dreams.
If you misuse your powers, you’ll end up just like him.
It's okay.
I won’t let that happen to you.
That’s why I made you join our circus.
Of course, you finding out our secret was also a reason.
But the largest one was because I wanted to help you.
Yes, what is it?
[05:06] I’m sorry.
I don’t know how to get rid of this power either.
Don’t look so upset.
If you learn how to control it, you won’t see people’s dreams against your will anymore.
It’s even useful, if you can use it well.
You can put an attacking lion to sleep in a second.
You can invite it right into the world of dreams.
Or something like that…

honestly no wonder harrow forced ianthe to lobotomize her so she could save gideon. listen…LISTEN…if i was a secret-war-crime cult nunlet princess worshipped by my entire planet and the only person that (barely) kept me in check was my childhood nemesis—a butch a year older than me, towering over me in stature and physical prowess, and so hot it made my teeth hurt from how hard my jaw clenched in her presence, who wielded a two-handed seven-foot sword and had irritatingly huge biceps and told very lewd stupid jokes and also learned how to wield an entirely new weapon and be my bodyguard with startling accuracy in three months—only to have us finally learn to trust each other because we got invited to a magic murder mystery and then before the bubble burst i spilled the worst secret about myself that i was born because my parents murdered an entire generation and tried to Kill Her along with them and she just wouldnt die, and i told her this expecting a swift death i believed i deserved, only for her to fucking cradle me in her big butch arms and kiss me on my forehead with her soft butch mouth and just. forgive me for a shameful weight ive carried my entire life and then MAKE AN ACTUAL NECRO/CAV VOW with me despite every evil thing i have done to her……to have her tell me, in the end, bleeding and broken after putting up the most beautiful and glorious fight of her life, that she understands purpose and she understands duty and she knows loyalty more fiercely than ever now, that she knows who she is to me, that there is no her without me….to have her backed into a corner and make the ultimate sacrifice…..for me…..to recite scriptural wedding vows of eternity to me in her last wisps of soul-consciousness…..if i thought there was even a snowflake’s chance in the pyre that i could save her by turning myself into her very own locked tomb, i’d be begging ianthe tridentweirdius to crack my skull open and turn me to mush too, goddamn. i understand you harrowhark girl you don’t have to explain a thing to me. god said you couldn’t undo the lyctor’s bond bc it’d kill you. you told god and his angels that not even a lyctor’s bond could outshine the power of female spite and lesbianism and they didn’t listen. they didn’t believe you. but i heard you loud and clear and i was 17 and hormonal and hopelessly romantic not too long ago unlike those fucking dinosaurs and i’m saying it’s valid it’s what i would have done and really everyone should be thanking you for not being worse and more wretched about it, all things considered

KO-FI DONATION DOODLE REQUESTS
I AM VERY NEW TO THIS, I've always managed to handle things myself in my personal life but it's different this time.
I'm pretty nervous doing this because it's hard for me to admit that I need help and ask for it in the first place.
This is temporary as I find financial stability, literally anything would be tremendous help for me.
Thank you for taking your time to read this, for sharing, and for enjoying my art.
