thank you for recognising that.

do it? i dare you.

[shadowglitter]

IDEA 2.0:

I COULD SEND HIM SOMETHING
UNMARKED AND UNNAMED SO HE WON'T KNOW IT'S FROM ME
JUST LEAVE IT ON HIS DOORSTEP
AND HE'LL MESSAGE YOU LIKE, SHIT, I GOT AN AMAZING PRESENT IN THIS BOX WRAPPED UP IN BROWN PAPER BUT IDK WHO IT'S FROM,
AND YOU CAN BE LIKE,

huh... (smokes weed)... that sounds like the sort of power move i could expect from... odin dark. you're lucky... that he's noticed you... ronan... love of my life... my dream come true... dust off your shoulders... my sweet darling... my darling boy... congratulations...

[fehus]

why are you writing me like i've had several intense strokes?

[shadowglitter]

You're feeling stunned and dazed because you're talking to the hot dude that likes you. You're emotionally sentimental over all your feelings for him. You're stunned by how amazing it is that you get to talk to him about me, Odin Dark, best person of all people. The weight of all your positive feelings is over-encumbering.
And.
The weeds.

[fehus]

i don't smoke the weeds? 2/5 for this characterisation, you've written me way better in your fanfiction.

what's in the unmarked box?

[shadowglitter]

It's ... an AU.

P
Potato
seeds.

Fuck. Um. I don't know. What does he like? Other than you and ignoring money.

[fehus]

Absolutely Unreadable?

macho edgelord shit? fast cars. boxing. petty crimes. also goth stuff? what about one of those beating hearts like in the poe story i read you?

[shadowglitter]

He's starting to sound like a bad influence?

I could make him a knife. Knives are cool and sort of criminal. I can put bats on it.
A beating heart would be good. I literally have the power to enchant an actual heart to make it beat forever, if... you want... to go... tomb... raiding. With me.
Hm.

I'm mad that he's rich. I could have impressed him by spending, like, a million dollars on the fastest car in the world. And installed boxing gloves above the headlights.

[fehus]

you didn't respond to my crit.

[shadowglitter]

It hurt my feelings.

[fehus]

sweetvapetrix45 is gonna be a harsher critic than me.

[shadowglitter]

Is that... Ronan?

Actually, come to think of it, Peter once gave me two stars on a story I wrote him. Out of five.
Sometimes I think life would be better if everyone just gave me everything I wanted and both respected and admired my art more than they respected and admired literally everything else in the world.

[fehus]

it's not ronan. it's a random critic who'd use more bad language critiquing you.

i respect and admire your art more than some things.

[shadowglitter]

Okay, well. When natives were protesting imPorts there were a few people who went through my entire account and FLAMED MY WORK!!!!!! FLAMES, MAGNUS! EVEN WHEN I SPECIFICALLY SAID "READ & REVIEW, NO FLAMING ALLOWED, DON'T FORGET TO LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE" AT THE TOP OF EACH CHAPTER. So.
I can deal with whatever this idiot has to say. My skin is tough. Like leather. Leather thats been out in the sun.

Name some things you respect and admire less than my art, please.

[fehus]

as a corpse i think probably we shouldn't vivisect corpses.

[shadowglitter]

You would be surprised how often a moral objection to vivisection has hindered me in my life.

[fehus]

i wonder if anybody's vivisected my corpse? i wanted to be cremated. this still bugs me so much even tho it's the most cliche undead thing to care about. i don't wanna take the karmic chance vivisecting someone else when i'm up for tomb-raiding grabs too.

[shadowglitter]

[ again, another little delay. feels sort of bad for talking about corpses now. ]

I think you're allowed to care about undead things when you're undead.
I kind of thought your body was saved and brought back to life when you went to Valhalla, but I guess that's not how it works? Seems kind of naive to think that, suddenly.

[fehus]

[Magnus doesn't feel bad, since he started it. they're weird and morbid, what else is new?]

it's not naive. it's complicated to explain so i usually just leave it at "i'm a zombie," which sort of implies reanimation of one organic thing. but no this isn't my original body. it's a sequel to the original provided by norse-odin, with a bunch of upgrades and not full of holes, broken bones, and formaldehyde.

[fehus]

[wait. Odin doesn't like zombie talk]

sorry that was graphic. i'm just annoyed they did the wake stuff to me. it. w/e

[fehus]

let's circle back to your other ideas. i'm not convinced an unmarked box is the way to go, bc then you won't get to talk to him?

[shadowglitter]

[ he doesn't like zombie talk, no, but he does like learning more about magnus, even sort of sad, existential shit like this. try as he might to say or come up with something supportive, it all just sounds kind of bland or macabre or unhelpful and he's not sure he settles on anything useful in the end. but. ]

I think you're allowed to be annoyed by that. It's kind of hard to know you might not have had your wishes acknowledged or your agency validated. It's probably a little dehumanizing to think your body was kind of disrespected? Given an ending you didn't want, kind of thing. But.
IDK. Being buried wouldn't be so bad, if that's what happened. Returning to the earth kind of suits you more than cremation.

[ stares. weird and morbid. moves on ]

The goal with the box thing was to make him want to talk to me? So I looked like the cool guy.
I guess I kind of hate that, though, actually. I want him to be the center of attention, not me.

1/2

[fehus]

i'm not sure i was buried. idk what they do with unclaimed bodies. it's not that.

[Magnus pauses; types a little more slowly, more revealingly (still weird and morbid, maybe, but there's no avoiding it)]

my mom and i said we'd scatter each other's ashes in the blue mountains. it was our favourite hiking spot. hers are there now, but mine aren't. i know it doesn't really matter, since i'm still sort of around, and it's not like anybody alive knew my last wishes or cared, but what's left of me is in the wrong place.

[it's the only place a small part of them could be together, since Magnus doesn't know where her soul is; Magnus is moving on, moving forward, but there's a restlessness in those things he can't (won't) be able to settle]

[fehus]

if you want ronan to be the centre of attention you could just talk to him. i trust you?

[he wouldn't be talking about his burial plans with just anybody, after all]

you don't have to try to be something you aren't.
