Breakdances in here; I wanted to share a blurb I wrote based off of this heartwrenching post by @tea0w0stache. Go look at their Crystal JD au- it's wonderfully painful. (Why did we as a collective JD fangroup say let's make his life worse? It's a hashtag mystery.)
Crimp wasn't going to encourage his rescue. She was a part of this, but hearing how broken and weak the frail troll's voice was made her heart break. Even by just a little.
The hair creature slowly, carefully made her way to the bottle, and hesitantly rested a hand on the cool glass. She tilted her head, reflections of a balled JD shining in her glasses.
"I-I'm sure they will?" Her voice tapered into a squeak, and Dory couldn't help but flinch at the response.
He turned his head slightly, just enough for Crimp to see his dull, greying eyes. A slow, shake of his head, and a sad chuckle followed.
"Y' just don't get it. I left them once. If anything..."

"Y' just don't get it. I left them once. If anything..."
He paused as shocks of pain rippled through his spine and arms.
Let out a sharp whine, tail wrapping its way around his body as a sad form of a hug.
He caught his breath, and spoke again.
"If anything, I deserve this. They're obviously happier without me."
every once in a while i remember tom exists and i have no choice but to draw him😔
i was gonna make a rock playlist for him too but then i realised his playlist would probably be filled with 2010s boy bands or something along the lines of that
