Why is everyone killing Adrian these days? Tho I guess I really shouldn't be talking :P.

Anyway, this is spooky and unnerving. Me likes.

Yeah. At least that way. Adrian didn't seem the type to have remorse. I can see Dan or Dr. Manhattan having a sort of mental breakdown after the events of the comic/film, which would be really interesting to explore with Manhattan since we're not sure if he even can die. Maybe "interesting" is the wrong word. Maybe that other thing, what is it? Oh, right "tedious."

This was chilling, nonetheless.

I stumbled on a theory the other day that he's supposed to be implied to end up like this at the end of the film (hence the out-of-nowhere "Requiem"), so maybe that's it?

I have a Veidt!deathfic in my head too, though it's... different from the standard tack, so to speak. c:

I really like how this moves from realism to creepy dream-logic somewhere along the line, and you only realise once it's already happened. It gave me the shivers. ♥

holy crap how did i even miss that this was posted

I AM A WORM

echoing the use of 'chilling' by the others above - this is really soemthing. i love the bulleted way everything is tracked (does that make sense?) and the way the mood is maintained all the way through in such a simple transcript.

A+ bb, i love when you write~

Thank you so much, it means the world from you. I was hoping you'd read it. You're still a huge inspiration.
This thing just wanted out, and I haven't read it since then and won't be reading it for a while, but I'm glad I wrote it.
