Oh, hello! You’re the Librarian, correct? *The entity smiles that odd smile that marks them as Spiral.* I believe I am called Caleb. Now, do you have any books on what the very late Mr. Smirke called the Spiral? Preferably ones that used to be owned by Mr. Leitner?

The Librarian is seated at the Magnus Institute Library's front desk. They look up at you tiredly. "Are you with the Institute? Our Leitners are off limits to anyone not named specifically by the Director. For safety reasons."

They think for a moment.

"However, we recently got a pseudo-Leitner that leaks gooseberry jam when you read it, which may be of interest to you. But I would request you read it outside the Library, as eating and drinking are strictly prohibited."

maybe the Deadline is an offshoot of End? End is like the fear of when it all stops, of the ending and what may or may not come after. The Deadline is more a panicked rush, the specific type of sinking fear when you realize how close you're cutting it or that it's already too late, not the fear of inevitable nothing forever after you've run out of time but the fear of other, maybe worse, consequences, the fear of disappointment or missed opportunities or needed rewards in missing the deadline in the first place. if the Glitch is a playful Spiral and the Taint is a spiteful Corruption, then can the Deadline be like a more frantic End then? idk

Perhaps. It can also encompass the social blunder of being late, giving it some Lonely leaning as well. The Extinction is also about not only running out of time but running behind everything else. It's so specific yet spreads across multiple of Smirke's, a formidable fear indeed.

entity of the completely unexpected and sudden problem in the way. crushing deadlines sneaking up faster than you can deal with. your computer freezing up at a critical moment. you can't find your keys and you're already running late to something important. you swore you had that thing you needed but now it's looking like you don't. Everything is falling apart at the seams and you are running out of time. tentatively naming it The Deadline

The entity of never noticing when i get these gddamn messages

Is this impending Deadline not just another form of the End?

Social anxiety

That's the intersect of Lonely and Spiral where you're convinced the world hates you. It's not particularly mild or weird, I don't think it's a rejected entity.

@literally-a-wicker-chair26 your computer suddenly refusing to work properly, except your computer is your brain or the world around you (or both!)

You sit and you scratch your head because certainly that can't be right.. And yet there it is, solid as gold, a wicker chair sending comments over Tumblr.

It doesn't even have hands.

The Glitch => the Spiral but it's just being a funney guy (:

The Taint => the Corruption but it hates you and wants to trap you in the bathroom

The Letdown => the Desolation but too anticlimactic to associate with it

The Tedium => the Spiral when it's really bored or maybe the Lonely?

The Inhumane => the Extinction? Not loud enough to be Desolation, but sometimes Desolation is paving paradise and putting up a parking lot. The cheeriness is almost Spiral. I'd say Lonely too except at least the Lonely wants you there. Some stark opposite of the Flesh, chrome and blood, that robot arm trying to clean up a thick red liquid only to mess up the exhibit further. The Inhumane scares me more than all of these together. But it's still "rejected", still "mild" enough to not make the cut, even though of all Smirke's fears this probably kills the most...
