Fierdan skit explanation (2/2)

Hey, so I want to make more skits, but then I just remembered I never posted part 2 of my Fierdan skit explanation. Well, I'm here to do that now. 

I can't seem to draw what happened in the second half of that skit good enough to my standards. I don't like my drawings, whoops haha. So, no drawings to accompany my ramblings.

first half explanation

It's been a while, heh. 

Alrighty! :) *folds hands together (just imagine me doing that, ok)* 

-----------

Time. The second half of the skit is all about time. Not just regular, ordinary times in the story and skit universes. Weird time. Nonsense time. Metaphorical time. 

(It's all just a metaphor, really.) 

The fog adds on to that confusion. What time are they in? Who's who? Is this happening in an alternate timeline? 

Until the end of the skit when I mentioned a white tiled floor is there any clue of a location. It grounds, it stabilizes, a location. It's still very vague, I know, but it gets rid of the thought that the location is an endless void with no ground. There's a floor, which means they aren't just floating in mid-air or on the fog itself. 

In addition to Time, there are: Naivety. Unreality. 

Up until the end of the skit does that all go away. The time of naivety and unreality. 

I think it's pretty sad, this skit. The ending pains me. But I doubt I'll ever be able to put it into words exactly as I would like. Excuse my terrible explanations. 

Ok so, from the start of the second half. Kid Danny has found himself lost and all alone in this strange place. He can't pinpoint a location since he can only see this swirly misty fog. The fog can also symbolize his naivety because it covers the floor, which can be the present reality. The floor isn't revealed until the end of the skit. 

Before he became Fierdan, he was just about the polar opposite of what people perceive him as being. Fierdan is so different than Pre-Fierdan (called Kid Danny in the skit). 

Kid Danny.. well, he was a pretty darn lonesome fellow. He never really had anyone close to him in his life. Until Dawn came along, he only really had Ryen and their father. And, well, Kid Danny got left out a lot. He wasn't really allowed to go out and become close friends with anyone. That's probably due to the high status he and his brother were born into, having been the children of the two incredible doctors, Dr. Z and C. And because of that, Z (their father) raises them as being "better" than just about anyone else. 

Let's just say that Dawn didn't exactly get that high life luxury. Z pretty much treated Dawn like crap. No, worse than that. 

Back to the skit. Kid Danny is lonely and desperate to make a friend. He suddenly sees a boy standing in the fog, and he runs up to him. 

A little later, I reveal that other boy to be Kid Duke. And oh, what's that? The time of unreal occurrences? The time not making sense? Haha, oh yes. 

Kid Danny is being, well, a little kid. Kid Duke is the same age and height as Kid Danny. 

(But wait, Cutepups? Wasn't Duke only able to come into existence after Fierdan created the DUKE fusion with Soulless and himself? How can Duke be there if Kid Danny didn't even become Fierdan yet? He's not even vicious and strong yet.)

Yeah, that doesn't add up now, does it? But then again, the Duke that Kid Danny sees isn't exactly a real person. He's somehow a product of Fierdan's imagination. He glitches and fades away partially whenever Kid Danny touches him. He already has the bruises over his body, but Kid Danny doesn't understand the meaning of them and how they got to be over his body (psst, Fierdan might have to do with it). 

On top of wanting a friend, Pre-Fierdan (Kid Danny) refused to take part in violence. He didn't like seeing and was afraid of seeing others in pain, and that also includes himself. He was a gentle soul who wouldn't harm, and definitely not kill, anything or anyone. 

That, of course, all totally changed after he became Fierdan. Being thrown into a world of destruction, suffering, torment, and of having to go through such intense pain every day for years and years made him stop being a stranger to pain. As that saying goes, "pain changes people." 

And finally, onto the ending. I said Fierdan's imagination and not Kid Danny's imagination for why Kid Duke was there. If it really was just Kid Danny and not any older version of him, then Duke wouldn't have been there at all. Instead, the weird foggy place makes it so that the time is unclear. It helps to disconnect Kid Danny from any of his life after that. Fierdan can only remember being that innocent, naive little kid before his life turned into hell. He lost his whole Fierdan identity. 

That is.. until the fog disappears and the white tiled floor is revealed. By that time, Fierdan knows everything else that became of him. With the fog gone, the naivety and unreality are gone. The time isn't stuck in the past. 

Kid Danny was so desperate not to have Kid Duke leave him because he was all alone and didn't want another person he got to know to, well, abandon him. Fierdan (well, Post-Fierdan Danny) might have some abandonment issues. But that's for another post. I mean like.. with his mom, and.. yeahh. Ouch. 

Right after that, Kid Danny cries out for Kid Duke to not be hurt. By that point, he begins remembering all the severe pain and violence that happens to Duke. I like to think of him visualizing C (whom Kid Duke mentioned earlier in the skit) physically hurting Duke, which left him with the bruises. 

And after that happens, a sped-up video recording plays in Kid Danny's mind of all the pain he went through and what he did to others when he grew older. Just imagine years and years of severely painful events (abuses, torture, murders, all the spilled blood and broken bodies, injuries, all that with Duke, creating DUKE, violence, more blood, more violence, ending DUKE, etc., etc.) playing out in Kid Danny's mind over the span of up to five minutes max. 

Imagine having no memories of those messed up, horrifying, violent af things that happened to you.. and then suddenly having every single one of those memories flood back into you all at once. Imagine having believed you're just a little kid who would never dare to hurt a thing, never mind kill anybody (like your father *cough* Z *cough*), only to then find out you did so much worse than that. Just like imagine it. All the screaming, blood, crackling flames, stabbings, shootings being heard and seen in vivid detail. And when you think the worst part is over, something even more fvcked up happens. And you become connected with the older parts of yourself. You're not a little kid, you're a young adult now, and everything you once knew about yourself is gone. 

That's what happened to Kid Danny at the end of the skit. He couldn't process what became of him once he became Fierdan and everything after that. It all goes against what he believed in. He, the child afraid of being hurt and hurting others, gets severely hurt and severely hurts others.. to the point of unpleasant death.

Bearing witness to all that results in Kid Danny freaking out over "time" and repeating the word over and over again. The time is no longer unreal. Time after time again do Fierdan and Duke get hurt. The pain never seems to end...

Kid Danny can't accept what he grows up to be. The fog is gone. The white tiled floor is visible. Kid Danny faints and falls, back of head first, onto the floor. 

Witnessing all the pain broke him. He's broken. He's unable to stay alive knowing what he's done. 

Knowing who he really is kills him. Kid Danny can't be his current self if he now has all the memories of everything that happened to him as Fierdan. 

The skit ends with the death of Kid Danny. He died. He's gone. He can't come back. His memories as Fierdan make him unable to function. They killed him. 

But even the Kid Danny skit character isn't a real living person. It's just the bunch of thoughts he is made up of all before Fierdan. Kid Danny as an individual, living human is long gone, long dead. 

He faints, hits the back of his head, and his skull breaks. His mind breaks. His head breaks. 

The Kid Danny is just a part of Fierdan's past. He gets shattered and killed because of the painful, truly fvcked up memories. 

He remembers everything. He's now the Post-Fierdan (aka the version of him after story 1). The end. 

Yeah ahhhhh. Ouch, my heart. 

Bye!
