video, un: grimm

[The video opens on two figures standing outside a circus tent. Grimm is hard to mistake for anyone else, and it should be no surprise to those who know him to see Mike Morton at a circus.]

Greetings to you all, my fellow Moonblessed. We are pleased to announce the opening of the Lacewing Circus as a permanent attraction in Lower Lunatia. We hope that all who have an interest will come to one of our performances, occurring every Saturday and Sunday at five PM.

Ever wanted to see someone defy gravity? Well now you can! Swing on by for acrobatics, trapeze acts, and tightrope walking galore! It’s a scene you wouldn’t want to miss— guaranteed! But don’t just take my word for it. Come see with your own eyes! Just don’t let this momentous occasion pass you by.

[Mike pops up out of the parting bow fast and points at the camera. One last thing:]

…But wait! That’s not all. We’re also taking your applications! So? Don’t be shy. Show us what you’ve got.

man youre telling me
they must be close to that
i mean my feelings are also for pussies who cant take something simple like a knife to the leg in training so
i guess thats valid when i type it out loud

ok so i
dont know how to call someone dad
im a wholeass adult man and i cant even tell you how fucked up my life was when i was a kid
i didnt mean to bail on you earlier i just dont know how to do this shit cause i dont think you were joking
i mean feel free to tell me you were and we can have a laugh at me not knowing but im pretty sure i remember youre a good guy and dont make promises for just nothing

[personal profile] itsknighttime 2020-08-05 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
fuck
no no i trust you

[[In fact, he wants to, very much. Grimm, even when he's been here before in an even more vulnerable state, has been more of a Dad than Bro has been his entire life. Given he did try a small bit when Bro was here but even then...]]

it just
yeah like id like to consider you
you know
like that
i mean you may as fuckin well be for all the shit you put up with where im concerned
and how much you want me to do better
like the only thing i think we havent done is played catch
itsknighttime: (DaveIcon13)

[personal profile] itsknighttime 2020-08-05 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
maybe when youre not busy with an entire circus opening
the only thing i ever learned to catch were sharp objects so a blunt ball would be great fun
maybe we can even just roll it carefully on the ground to the lil guy too
like real fuckin carefully

aight that sounds like a plan

[[Dave agonizes about putting the word down. The D word and it's right there in finger's reach.]]

see you then

[[And again he could put it down and every time he types it, or something in its incarnation like Pops or Daddio or its ilk, he can't. It's something he'll hold on to and for now the feeling of just being contently in someone's charge, even as a 'wholeass grown man', can permeate and stay as warm feeling as it does.]]
