The Marionette's Prayer ----------------------- For millenia I operated this beacon Helping lost souls find their way To make sure all those wandering Do not go astray
Ironic, is it not? I serve as a guide but I am lost Help others to see but I cannot Dissapointing it is, to have such thoughts
O Lord, see me; For I show these lost souls the route O Lord, notice me; For I aid to rid of all doubts O Lord, console me; For I feel as powerful as a mouse O Lord, save me; For it is dark, under this Lighthouse
i wrote this poem for no particular reason; but it does belong to an oc made from the fusion of references to 2 of my favorite games: White Knucle and Grace
basically this marionnette operates a Lighthouse to help freed souls find their way in the Afterlife. And after doing this for 2 millenia, it has been forgotten and wrote this poem as a prayer.
this is the "poem version". i may do an "soliloquy version" (its when a character talks to themselves on stage in a play) later but idk.
there are some girls who do in fact do this. but youre missing the point of the post entirely and instead trying to make it abt how guys suffer from it too. im a guy myself but i believe this lack of sympathy and eagerness to turn the situation on an innocent victim is also part of the reason men are hated. you wouldnt be wrong to say this is certain scenarios (even thought it isnt entirely true) but bringing it up at in this context is one of the worst ways you could have done it. you are part of the problem.
anyone who thinks french is a romantic language has not tried to translate a complicated french text from scratch from first principles without google translate.
you just like hearing ppl sound like theyre trying to cough up phlegm

i dont rly understand larp. why pretend to know abt smth when you don't? it's fine not to know the most niche fandom out there. how bad does your fomo have to be to actually start larping smth? if you don't know a show or game or fandom thats honestly fine.
can someone please explain this to me i need to have a conversation on this topic
icl there isnt a world around this character for now so they just exist. (it was literally like a random thought i had, putting this oc together) might develop it more. you on discord? its easier for me to communicate there.
this oc exists in isolation for now (i dont have a world or backstory for it yet, idek what it looks like)
but basically this oc is a marionette that was posted to operate the Lighthouse, a beacon that freed souls (souls of dead people) use to navigate the Spectral Void(may change, but this is supposed to be the void that exists outside of life itself is basically the realm of the dead(its accessible as a living being but you prbly wont be able to come back)). if the light goes out, souls in transit will be lost so this marionette maintains it. it used to get visitors from time to time bcs ppl knew who it was but now as the years have gone by (abt 2 millenia) ppl have forgotten abt it (to them the Lighthouse "just works") so now no one comes to see the marionette and it feels forgotten. so in its loneliness it wrote this poem as a prayer to God, basically abt how it feels unnoticed.
i came up with some of this as i was writing this reply lol
if you want i could tell you abt how i made this oc
great i found another climber? what progress have you gotten. my farthest run was to delta labs then i threw spectacularly. i stil havent beaten the game ;-;
true but the thing is, topics that are popularly larped about are topics that would get you laughed at just a few years ago (specifically talking abt anime and certain games). but now being a "weird kid" and being "niche" is the new thing. everyone is in a rush to fit in with groups they wouldve rejected not too long ago
