Cackling Moron


"Fluff" in the same way what collects under the sofa is fluff.

This story is a sequel to The waiting is the hardest part


Tricked into thinking that they each personally came up with the idea of a nice cozy night in, Twilight and Jack have a nice cozy night in, like they used to do x-many years ago and like they've clearly been wanting to do for however-long now but haven't been for reasons of mutual awkwardness.

Meanwhile, weather.

Yes! It continues, I recently found more chapters of this after reading it years ago and still love it.

Cackling! Starlight didnt know jack used to live in the castle! She actually asks twilight if they used to be a thing! You got your lore mixed up!

...shit

I'll fix that when I'm not trying to keep my child from pulling the television to the floor.

You might start to think I make this up as I go along!

edit: Ah, there we go, much better. And I got to put in a 'had had had', too! My favourite.

This was wonderful.

Very cute. In the darker and sadder version, Jack's words here:

“Not constantly, of course, but more than I’d like. Just tend to try and make sure it happens when no-one’s around. I don’t - I don’t mind as much with you because, well, you’ve seen much worse from me. But for everyone else it’s a bit…”

really mean that he has a subterranean chamber or room that's full of little-Jacks, all wailing and having breakdowns. This is so one tiny fraction of himself can go up to the surface and be friendly and cheerful. Even then, it still ocassionally overwhelms the one tiny part he shows off.

Back during the Cold War and for some time afterwards, the KGB developed and used a pretty awful method of interrogation. It was based on sensory deprivation; the subject was placed in a tank of neutral-buoyancy liquid, with no light or sound in the room and a special suit that blocked tactile senses. To the poor soul inside, they were in a total void with no up or down and nothing around them to see or touch or feel. Within three days, the mind would snap and answer any question, and would be permanently damaged from sensory deprivation.

Jack is probably going to need millennia of therapy.

This is what I crave.

Electrolytes?

No, wait, that's what plants crave.

Presumably why he stopped hanging around with himself.

Adequate execution of concept

Electrolytes wish they could be so craveable.

The original series end was excellent. Well written horror, especially considering the world it was set in. Writing a continuation of a story like that destroys the effect of the ending.

And I love you for it anyways. Thank you so much.

Please don't have the Dreamer Wake and like, go all, Call of Cthulhu. I'm sure you'd write it very well. But please don't. XD

Oh no, he's stuck like that now. In my head at least...

I just binged the whole series and it's so bizarre, so random. So grounded and fun and sad and interesting all at the same time. It's wonderful. Hope you continue it. :twilightsmile:

I just found this series, and I could not have possibly predicted even a single bit of it went (in the absolute best way possible). This was truly a delight to read, from start to here. The way Jack and Twilight are written throughout is fantastic, and the narrative works so much better than I would have possibly expected, both in its humorous and serious parts.
Seriously, this was a delight to read.

Lovely.

:')
We got the good ending, fellas.
I'd be down for more, but honestly this feels... complete. I'd still be down for more tho.

Somehow I missed this and a few others, I call that a good thing..a nice surprise on a slow workday. (Rob does tend to give one ideas, good man that one...fun to talk to)
