  • Circuit 1 sunbeams babey
  • the circuit of questionably ethical cowboy necromancy
  • anyway i just have SO many thoughts about how Lurch's pregame ritual was 'searching for a way out'
  • they sure found one!!!! who knows what it'll lead to
  • i simply think they should get to take their agency back
  • i simply think that them joining the mic was their own choice
  • vote of the fans or not
  • definitely also
  • CW for self sacrificing
  • not violently but still just to be safe

  Summary

  Lurch Mondavi finds their way out. Pyra Anice loses.

  • Teddy is in this but more mentioned in passing tbh
  • featuring sad talk about lost/released players
  • there are F words in this but that's it as far as content warnings should be concerned
  • basically. landry is gone paula is trying to figure out who she is without him
  • and what their connection means after he gets released
  • anyway this whole thing was pretty much inspired by a thread of paula's tweets
  • where paula is talking to moody
  • about how playing her violin reminds her of landry
  • and of what it felt like to channel the spirit of violence
  • i've wanted to write this ever since i read that
  • anyway!!! music as a metaphor for connection and language!! head in hands!! i'm okay!!!
  • paula 'electric blood' turnip i love you very much
  • and i also very deeply love
  • landry 'ostentatious dipshit but is actually overflowing with affection at all times' violence
  • apologies if there are editing/formatting mistakes
  • ive been staring at this for so long i barely know what's what anymore

  Summary

  Somewhere far away, Landry Violence is lost. Somewhere else far away, Paula Turnip plays the violin. And like calls to like.
