Summary: Two college students watch a movie.

Chapter 1: From TG&Y

Notes:

Just a word of warning that if you’re coming into this expecting anything resembling traditional fanfiction, you’re going to be sorely disappointed and frankly probably a little bit confused. This is not a story about cartoon characters in fantastical scenarios. This is not an alternate universe, and it is not about anyone you have ever seen or met before.

This is a story about real people.

You don’t need knowledge of the YouTube show The Amazing Digital Circus to read this. It might help, though. This work will spoil major elements of that show.

This is why people cry at the movies: because everybody’s doomed. No one in a movie can help themselves in any way. Their fate has already staked its claim on them from the moment they appear onscreen.

ALBERT: maybe that's all bob is. the evil that men do DALE: we just did a straight up exorcism ritual dude. we had to do law and order shit on a ghost to get this guy

My partner Natalie has been missing for over two weeks. She was deeply loved by so many in her community, and it feels like the cops have written her off as 'another trans suicide' and don't care to find her. Natalie deserves to be found and her loved ones deserve closure.
