Part 1
I've been taking readings with the limited equipment I've been able to secure. Some riveting data accumulating. Hypotheses taking shape. My struggle with this is that the way this place works makes any hypothesis immediately come back to alter and contaminate the data.
Anyway, I've been working to capture, isolate and amplify certain frequencies from the background radiation ambient noise, so... let's see what happens.
I was caught in a loop. The deeper into the dark depths I got, peeling off the layers of the Dark Place, like the ocean zones, from twilight to midnight, to abyssal to the deepest trenches, the closer I felt to going mad.
This voice, the narration... It keeps going forever. This leads me to believe it's what's holding this place together, it's making it real. Is this the voice of the dreamer?
What's strange is that it sounds a bit like my voice.

Love that despite Oltyx's grumping about how every other necron around him sucks and he only likes maybe 2-3 other people, he's the one necron in canon who's had guardians and protectors from every walk of life. First his family (Djoseras, and once upon a time, Unnas), then the nobles of varying stations (e.g. Yenekh and Parreg), all the way to those of lowborn origin (Neth and Pakhet) who are dearly devoted to his well-being. Outsiders too, like Mentep and Zultanekh, not to mention every Flayed One by the end of his story!
It doesn't surprise me that the final mode of society he settles on as Valgûl is more egalitarian than literally any other necron dynasty out there. Despite the universe trying its best to crush Oltyx's ability to relate to other people out of him, Oltyx was more cared for than he let himself believe, and had more respect than he gave credit for. When it comes down to it, this was a boy who was very loved, and I'm glad he came to terms with it at the end 😭💖

i love the thought of malleus with mc who just openly flirts with him and isn’t shy. kisses him on the hand the first time they meet, keeping eye contact. keeps making remarks about how they’d love to see briar valley. asks if he’s been betrothed to anyone yet. offers themself up with no shame.

been feeling very crazy over "to whoever wants to hear" because dream to me is already the epitome of wearing your heart on your sleeve and embracing everyone and everything that comes your way and just very pure love, that the concept of the drEP being a further extension of this makes my brain and heart feel like its gonna explode. his letter addressed "to whoever wants to hear" is not about himself, but about telling people to focus on all the moments and people that build you up instead of the ones that make you fearful or sad because those moments and people are what matter in the end. he tells whoever wants to hear to “be yourself” because the people who make you feel like you’re on Everest will love you for whoever and everything you are. this is the message that dream has always spread. in an album about his own life and stories he continues to instill the hope that he can make someone’s day or life better. he spreads so much love and wraps whoever wants to hear in it
