"kill them with kindness" wrong, chain lightning.
it's hard to translate the impact of the delivery of this line from voice acting to transcription but this moment in the silt verses never fails to make me crazyinsane because even without the context of sainthood in tsv being this utterly nightmarish fate-worse-than-death cronenbergian body-horror transfiguration there is something so bone chilling about the slow, creeping realization that "i'm not going to hurt you... i'm going to make you a saint" is not a reassurance, but a threat, and one that will be carried out with fanatical devotion
like. there is something so much scarier (especially in the context of body horror and the lack of autonomy that frequently goes hand in hand with it) about someone hurting you because they're so unshakeably firm in their conviction that what they are doing is Good and Right and Beautiful and refusing to acknowledge or not even being able to conceive of the possibility that they're causing you pain at all than any amount of suffering inflicted out of malice or even necessity.
Can’t believe more people here aren’t obsessed with The Silt Verses… the world building is crazy
