Word. Phrase. Come on, think of something. I can’t. Choice by mindset. Not so much the effort to focus. Release. Yes. Let go. The rocks pressing against my left ass cheek. My legs hanging over a rock cliff. Branches below me, a pile with some rubble and foliage. A notebook and pen in my hand. I can’t focus on drawing. I don’t want to, rather, I want to put a world of my making on paper. Disperse, reality. Disappear. Come, words. Tell me tales. Manifestations of role models as a metaphorical analogy to reality. Pain, the super villian. Only a heritage of the sage of all creation. The person in the catacombs of my mind. The one who guides me. The one who reveals. The eyes. Oh god. Ripple-like patterns of circles within a pair of eyes floating in the darkness. Two Roman pillars in front lit up by a light source. A granite coffin.
(What do you know?) What do you mean? (Tell me. You know the answer.) No. (Then you will see.)
-Fade.-
A woman in an orange dress with cat-like eyes. Dark vertical slits against a glowing greenish-yellow hue contrasting in the colorblind world. Only the dress and eyes are colored. Everything else is lifeless. She wants to bite my neck. I don’t let her. Succubus . That’s who you are. No I’m not. Why do you think that? Her eyes turn blue. She shows a sad and betrayed face. I feel sad. I hurt her. I care.
(Careful, she knows that you might react in a sense of defeat. Do not let her control your emotions. This is the beck and call of a succubus. You know this. Act weak and she wins.) What if she thinks I succumbed and I play stupid along with this, I can try to find her true purpose. (You won’t.) Why not? (Think hard on this matter. There isn’t a chance in hell she’ll admit defeat and come clean. She will outlast you while taking your emotions along for the ride. Even if you do, it’ll push her away. It’s no fun for them.) So you’re making me see her as an abysmal creature below the depths of Hell who’s somehow rifted through the planes of reality and merged with the cognitive processes behind this mortal woman and pulling the strings in the most ordinary fashion. The mortal could be working against me unconsciously until I discover a way to make the succubus reveal herself. A dual voice. Then again, I wouldn’t be able to hear that nor be able to decipher a dimensional form of communication that would transcend just simple human accusations. Like manipulation of the environment with a thought process like pheromones do, they’re invisible but yet influence the surroundings. (Heh. You know you’re not capable of that.) Not yet. So the best I can do now is to treat her like she’s human. Act normal. Be a gentleman. You’ve convinced me to consider the succubus alternative as a possibility, but it’s not realistic, so I’ll keep it in mind but not take it seriously. (Fair enough, that’s a safe approach. Though, what if you catch her red-handed?) Even if I did, it’d just be presented as a selfish human act on her part. And I haven’t been able to. She’s good at lying and manipulation. (How do you know?) Instinct. (*guffaws* Instinct? Boy. You have insurmountable amount of maturing to do. That won’t get you anywhere. You need to establish something now and fast. Otherwise, you’ll be stuck on the railroad waiting for the pain train to come.) Yeah, I’m prepared for that train. I’ve been ready for it ever since I got into that relationship. I was aware of the likelihood that my path and the train’s would cross even at the beginning. (Have you now? Why?) Attraction. (You know the cliche, boy. Attraction gets you nowhere. The hot ones aren’t usually the best catch.) No, not attraction based only on aesthetics. Similar moods. Similar goals and interests. She’s like a clone of me several years ahead. You know me better than that. (My job is to give you a hard time. You know me better than that.)
Who are you anyway? (I am the opposite of you. Your negative image. Tristan spelled backwards is Natsirt and that is I. My hair is white, my eyes orange, skin is cyan with white shadows. Teeth are black. All the opposite color of you. Backwards world. I make you believe things you wouldn’t usually believe. Like her.) Are you asking me to take faith in someone in my head? The voice in my head that has been with me all my life. Are you possibly a guardian angel in this negative form who has counseled me to avoid any mistakes or harm in reality? The very product of your being guides me through life to where I am now. Sometimes when I make mistakes, I somehow get out of them. I don’t call it luck. Rather, I thank you. ….wait… whyamithankingyou……. .hmm.. .. This is hard. I could only imagine that the power of a succubus could extend so far as manipulation or influence of my cognitive/thought processes to form or even possess you, Natsirt. To make me act with deluded fantasies against the mortal woman I am in love with. Then once I lose her, I will never know if it was my fault or if it was the succubus. Such unearthly power. I am ready for it. Are you really my guardian angel? The voice in my head. It changes according to whoever I’m with, but the basic desires, cravings, and other things I assume as innate/environmental development of personality. This voice. Am I just talking to myself or creating a new personality that does not match who I am. I can’t tell who I am. All I have is this ever-changing voice and my conscience. Damn you, amygdala, for being hypersensitive. Damn you for making me enjoy this deluded fantasy. Hell, I can’t even call it deluded. What is the purpose of fantasy? Emotional management? I hear you should replace them with practical thoughts. Focus on reality. Makes productivity quicker and efficient and lots of sense. Family, friends, food, living, money, work, health, self, helping people, realistic/practical hobbies that pertains to the sense of the world. I’m hiking. That’s a start.
Where are you, my voice in the head? You only come when you know I’m not writing this down. You give me the best ideas. So, FAITH. Is that what you want? Do I follow logic and mask emotions with a sense of practicality? That’s what the succubus told me. She wants a baby too. Can’t tell if she’s bad or good. (No she just wants to act in accord to her mortal desires. Like you would and did. You’ve caused so much pain.) Yeah… does pain make you see reality as it is? Thoughts of revenge and false beliefs. Like Jihad for example. (No.) No? What… (Think.) Yes. Think, it’s a thought process. Put myself in their bodies. Perceive America as homage to the rich who steal, like and want power all to themselves. My life is in ruins. Half my family dead. America comes here and starts shooting. Asking questions. Screw them all. My family. I remember them so clearly. Mama. Papa. Sorrow. Rage. Confusion. I hear propaganda. America is evil. (That’s oversimplified. You don’t know enough. Learn.) Yeah I need to read more. Still, the focus is pain. Pain and the one who works behind the scenes. One with power over time and space. Does the succubus work under that one? A mask. Facade. I can’t write anymore. This is too much of a reference to things I know. It is not a self creation. Mindless entertainment. Stimulation. What is the metaphor? Nothing. Badassness? Creativity? What? (Stop writing and go hang out with your friends.) What about the succubus? (Another time.) Ok. One last thing. Does knowing pain bring you closer to God? (*silence*)
……. … ….. -cue the cold breeze on the back of my neck with dried sweat-
In case you were wondering, the title of this blog post is Levis Mort, roughly translated from Latin, it means light death. As in not heavy death. Alleviation.
Eyes are powerful. They communicate. Which is why I’ve linked the youtube video down below:
The first is the Scooby-Doo intro movie video with the eyes that have never left my memory at 0:00 to 0:05
Rinnegan eyes, the ripple-like pattern eyes I mentioned earlier above. Always enjoyed ripples as a sense of infinity.
Of course, can’t forget Heroes with Isaac Mendez’s eyes.
Human Android eyes from anime, yeah effectively most videos of eyes are stupid on youtube and I have to resort to cartoons. To see them, go to 8:22 – 8:32 on the video.
Already did this one in my first post but it’s the same concept
There’s more types of eyes but I just couldn’t find them.
