Vader Eloha and The Batter

This is for @tanblaque because our little talk (if you can call it that lmao) about Vader made me remember a short little thing I wrote about her ages ago and I wanted to share it and contribute to the OFF fandom for myself! Nothing in OFF fascinates me more than Vader Eloha, and this is sort of a love letter to our one interaction with her. 

This is the first piece of content I’ve been confident enough to share ever so I apologise if it’s a little botched I’d love to hear what y’all think here we go hhhhhh

~~~

Ah.

Ah. 

What happened, my love?

Why did you leave?

We were supposed to be happy. 

We should’ve been happy. 

You should’ve been happy.

You weren’t. 

~~~

He was ours, like we were his. 

He made us, father to son to mother. Holy Trinity. 

But you were unhappy from creation, burning with indignation and self-righteous fury. 

You petitioned with a god, purified with zealousness, wiped the chalkboard clean and ate the crumbs. 

Swing by swing you ate and burned and swept and cleansed and-

And-

And there was nothing left but us and that chair and that room with the son.

~~~

“Go home.” I say, for you are not welcome here.

But you and I both know you are home, and you say so.

You say I failed him, I say not so, for everything I have done has been for him, how can you not see?

“We were so busy preparing the birthday party that we forgot who it was for.” You say, so self-assured in your righteousness, in your ideals.

It is not fair. All we have done to set up the carnival, all of it has been ruined by you.

No more.

You will not go further.

~~~

We fight-

I am gravely disappointed.

With fists and words and tools and meat.

No dessert for you.

Did you even soak in the world he created?

Have you filled your life with beauty?

We know what happens if you purify me.

There is nothing but the void after me.

You don’t even know his first name.

You don’t know him.

~~~

Ah.

Ah.

Here I stand

At the end of this world.

The father in front,

The son behind.

There was a big cake

And some coffee.

Do you want some coffee…my love?

“Time to forget it all and dream sweet dreams.”

Yes.

Sleep.

That sounds nice.

Goodnight. I love you.
