#thinking about the only noise he heard for months being cucurucho and possibly his own voice

[arcadianico]

this is genuinely not anything against baghera, bad and forever (i love them dearly) but can you imagine how disorienting and overwhelming it must have been for qq to come back from the quasi-sensory deprivation of the pool and the federation’s endless quartz to the outside world and be faced almost immediately with all of their questions when he himself barely remembers anything. maybe that’s why he kept walking away from them. to turn down the noise a bit, but still be able to hear them. to regain some semblance of quiet

#thinking about qq saying he had never seen so many colours after the colour test room #thinking about the only noise he heard for months being cucurucho and possibly his own voice #thinking about overstimulation #the others didn’t do anything wrong but i think qq was in the sort of state that would have lead to him being overwhelmed by everything #and they probably played a part in that too #i think maybe that’s part of why he was building a quartz structure #it’s all he knows and also it’s less overwhelming #or something idk #quackity #qsmp
