zib: (SPOKE TOO SOON)
#1 ([personal profile] zib) wrote in [community profile] deercountry2022-04-10 07:08 pm

you're never coming back

Who: Zib and maybe even you! This is an OPEN log for everyone who wants to get involved /o/
What: Mostly studying butterflies and skeletons, and then beast hood shenanigans thanks to the portals from the event
When: During the month of April
Where: Tends to hang out around Disaster House, but the prompt with beast corruption will be throughout Trench, see inside for further details

Content Warnings: despair/potential suicidal ideation because of the butterflies, skeletons(???), paranoia/hallucinations, obsession, insect/alien body horror per beast hood corruption, parental neglect, will add more if they come up



[So Zib has been... well, not well. He's been showing some signs of undergoing the corruption that others have here and there in the form of the extra green arms he's been walking around with lately, and with some strange lines that have formed against his face, arms, anywhere that he allows any skin to expose that take the shape of something reminiscent of spider-web cracks.

Like as if his body is merely a cocoon and something is bursting at the seams waiting for the right type to hatch.

But, thankfully, Zib had started out being at least semi-aware that he was very much stretching the definition of being "okay" in any way, shape, or form. He's told a few people about it rather than hiding it, at least, and has tried to find things that he actually enjoys to see if it helps any or at least serves as a nice enough distraction for now.

However... it seems that April has other ideas.]


[ooc: Toplevels with what's happening with Zib will be below with their own headers! They're all mostly related to the event, but if you want a closed thread with Zib that falls outside of the prompts offered, hit me up and I'll make it happen! I've also got Zib's plotting stuff for the event over here that you're free to go to for info or hit me up on as well!]

Oh yeah. [He nods slowly.] The time loop ended with me getting turned into a sword, and him getting to go home. He was still around when I was Fern.

[It's taken years for him to be okay with talking about this, and it's still hard to... but he's got support here, and he wants to help Zib out. Chances are it will help him, too.]

He... tried to be nice to me, but I mostly just wanted to fight him. Aaand kill him. It wasn't great.
laminae: (wrong)

cw: suicidal implication, child death

[Oh. Oh boy. Fern, of course, had gotten part of the story, but not all of it. His heart sinks as Zib goes on and he doesn't interrupt him - maybe getting it all out will make him feel better? He isn't sure if it will, usually when Fern is this upset punching things helps a lot more than talking, but it's at least a first step. And hey, he can relate to a lot of this.]

Dude, you're so much better off here than back home. I'm not even gonna try and beat around the bush - your home sucks and even though this place sucks sometimes, it's still better. You got people here who care about you, and no Zims.

[He runs a hand through his hair.]

It's the same for me. I kinda... die. Back home. And you're as good as dead. So... you're not alone, there.
