how can we bear to live in a society where we dont raise children communally and where we dont have like. midwives as the cornerstones of the community and where we dont revere the cycles of death and birth and ohhh my god. we arent okay. we do everything without any kind of. initiation into it and we're floundering and our ancestors are crying and wailing and flinging themselves against the walls

Well, 17 again! Maybe smth PV related :O
Thanks for participating in this ask game! Here, have a writing extract
17) From an unfinished WIP
Tagging @ybnavibeswithbats1122 since this is both part of a writing request of theirs and because they requested 17 previously! :D
Pure Vanilla Cookie was having trouble sleeping.
It was not an overabundance of energy keeping him from the throes of slumber; quite the opposite, in fact. Exhaustion weighed on both his body and mind more heavily than it had done in a long while, yet something deep within him simply refused to let him rest. Restlessness stirred in his aching joints, a sense of prickling unease burdening his mind persistently. The Beasts had been locked away once more, and Dark Enchantress Cookie had yet to approach the Silver Tree- by all means, the period of planning they were going through just then should have provided the perfect source of respite.
And yet, whenever he finally did manage to drift off into oblivion, his dreams were consistently plagued by all the awful memories he had acquired during Shadow Milk's brief escape into the Faerie Kingdom. Pure Vanilla had never been one to shame another for experiencing nightmares: he understood the effect that trauma had on one's psyche, and was hardly going to belittle a cookie for something far beyond their control.
Unfortunately for him, however, it appeared that his mind was quite adamant on upholding the image he had created thus far of the unfaltering Hero he had upheld for years. It was up to him to be a light in the current period of darkness they all were facing, a strong pillar of support that the younger cookies could lean on when overwhelmed by the gravity of the task before them.
Pure Vanilla didn't dare approach White Lily about his troubles, not when they were already on rocky ground and she had enough to concern herself with as it was. Hollyberry, Dark Cacao and Golden Cheese had yet to arrive from Crispia, and his only other potential confidants were children, so Pure Vanilla thought it best to keep to himself. A few nightmares were hardly the end of the world, after all. He was quite certain that he was overdramatising the matter entirely.
What he saw in his dreams could not hurt him, no matter how often it resulted in him jolting awake while the moon still shone above them. Pure Vanilla Cookie was as safe as he could be just then, and he was positive that there was nothing to worry about in the slightest.

The man wrenched his arm away. He was still looking at Joe as though he much preferred to freeze to death than climb out on to the island.

like yeah anthy and harrow are definitely similar flavors of character to a certain extent but like fresh out of finishing htn a mikage and harrow comparison seems just as interesting to me. The whole novel really reminded me of the black rose arc in some ways, especially considering the shared themes of tampered memories, and obsession with something long dead. Like you have this character who is so powerful and imposing but they are slowly coming apart at the seams trying to grapple with reality (specifically in discerning what's reality and what isn't). Also I think harrows relationship to The Body can kinda draw parallels to mikages relationship to mamiya, especially kind of in an aesthetic sense (a character constantly trailed by a ghostly presence that they themselves idealize)
