#btw not cosmic or celestial i don't have the brainspace for that

[desognthinking]

AU where they’re lovecraftian cryptid entities teetering at the brink of awareness and scraping at the pulled-taut limits of reality, unless they square and cube root themselves down dimensionally to merely regular old patchwork chimera haunting forlorn places. Or, even further, compact themselves into a human skin. 

Which all maybe just sounds like gory visceral horror but ACTUALLY. It’s just that this is from the perspective of beatrice! who’s still working her way out from a twisted dark european forest-inspired folklore state of mind . Meanwhile Ava’s the vandermeer-esque Weird Fiction Creature and is basically constantly busy dreaming up date night plans for them to devour and then remake the entire underside of the woods (bea doesn’t know it’s a date). 

Like yes, it’s still horror, but the whole thing is actually about family, and love, and proximity, and the unbreakable cords that stretch miles and miles of time and distance, and having someone else be so close and know and love you so deeply that they’re basically already half-fused with you, claw in slimy claw. spine-tingling scarytime, but like, maybe if the romance happens between the monsters then it has a chance of not being doomed. Maybe it’s not tragic if she loves you. Do you see the vision.
