Catch-all and open post for Shadow! Text, brackets, prose, images! I'm fine with anything. I can take him from any canon point, send me a PM if you'd like to discuss or check out my info page!

[He wanted to push them down, the pain to stop. Parts of the distorted space he created, flicker in and out of existence. In the whirlwind of chaos and imagery in his mind, something telling him to get away. Abandon this endeavor before it's too late.

His other remains gentle in their touch and movement though. They were trying to tell him something through all this, pulling him closer. His larger form easily encompassing the other. Stay...? A strong feeling, trying to push through, keep him there. Their heartbeat, other sounds that should not accompany one's heartbeat. Unsettling, worrying.

I'm here.

His tail moves behind him, the tip raising slowly, pointed towards the other. The subconsious still sensing a threat while the main conscious is occupied.]

[It's all right. He won't be alone anymore...? His center eye, it starts to look around, watching the scene unfold before it. Shadow, tempted by their comforting gestures, their words like a sweet necture. Reaching deep into what he desires. Acceptance.

The affection, them nuzzling against his head. Never had he recieved anything like it before. He wanted more. He leans into it, cooing when the other started purring. Is this what's it like? How things should have been for him?

But it's all wrong. This is incorrect. The center eye stares down at the other. This is...not how it should be. But...why does it matter anymore? He can be happy, because the alterntive is...the red eyes narrow.

It's all a lie.

Like a spear, the tail that had risen from behind struck into the other. Stabbing them through the chest.]
