"Can you believe that jerk?! Shows up late, then criticizes my outfit. Like, hello, atleast i aint look like megamind curses
Your outfit looked fine to me... You look great actually. I think he was just jealous
Jealous or not, he had no right to speak to me like that! I’m better off without him... throws cups of water on sidewalk as she walks away
You know what?! He probably didn’t even want to take care of me...I deserve someone better than that! So I'll find someone who appreciates me, because I'm amazing, and deserves a partner who knows how to take care of me.
Hell yeah you do! You're a great person with an extremely big heart. I can tell this guy really doesn't know what he's missing.
Thanks Islander, it's good to have someone to talk to. And you're right, he definitely doesn't know what he's missing out on. Well I think I'm gonna go look for new love because I'm single and ready to mingle, woohoo! 😁
Yesssss! Go get 'em girl!
Alright then, time to hit the town and find me a nice little man! I'll turn heads with my cute personality, my good looks, and all that comes with being me! Who wouldn't want to date me?! No one deserves me more than I deserve myself! 😎
Don't forget about me and the milkrun fangs when you're out finding dates girl! 🙂
Yes yes yes of course i wouldn't forget those two! They're always with me! And of course I wouldn't forget my two favorite tooth fairies either, don't worry!
I wouldn't be so sure about that...
Oh yea? Then what’s gonna happen if I forget about ya’ll! Huh? Well..Let's see what happens now if i just disappear... I disappear into thin air
The people who took my place began calling me "Fangboy" and I tried to challenge them, but they said that I didn't matter anymore... They said I was forgotten about because I was insignificant... They even went as far to say that "If you were important, you would've been remembered."
And I remember you, Fangboy! You're one of my best friends! And those people can go screw themselves! What’s their definition of important anyway? I think being kind, helping people, making friends, having a good heart and spirit is much more important than what they say! So don’t listen to them!
But one thing makes me wonder, if no one remembers me, does that mean I never mattered in the first place? Did I only exist as someone who was eventually forgotten? Was I only ever insignificant? Is this just some cruel joke made by the almighty "Cookie Cat"? Did she decide that I would be alone forever? Is there even any meaning to my existence?! 🤔
Hey hey now, none of that. You matter alright?! Your the most important person in your own life, and everyone matters, no matter how small they feel! You got friends, you got me, you got tooth fairies and milkrun fangs to support you, and you even have a whole fandom behind you! It's the other people who should be worried about being insignificant cause they forgot about ya'll! But as for ya'll, you'll always be remembered and loved by me. That much I can guarantee.
Even though most of my identity has been stripped away from me, being told that means something to me. That really means a lot... 😅 Thank you. And if I may say so, I think you matter a lot too. Do not forget that!
Well thank you, Fangboy! Now you stop worrying about yourself, and let me handle worrying about you. I'll always make sure you’re well taken care of, no matter what! We'll go through this adventure together! We’re a team, right? Best buds! 😁
Well here's the thing about that, while I might be your "best bud", I don't think you realize that you also forgot about most of the rest of us. I know that for a fact, since I also used to be one of those people, I know how easily the others could fall through the cracks. That's why I ended up leaving. I figured if no one would remember me anyways, then I'd best go find a way to matter. Because if no one else will, I will. Besides, even then, I still have faith that one day you will remember the others too. And until then, we can still work together to accomplish things, while waiting for that day. 😢
You know... You really do have a point... I guess... I really did forget about most of the rest of you... Well uh... Maybe I should do something to fix that... How bout I... Hmmm... Perhaps maybe... I could start by looking for clues in my memories to help me recall everyone's names and appearances! That's probably a good idea, right? I can try that right now... What do you think?
...That sounds like a good idea, but to tell you the truth, when you were still tinkering with that theory, you mostly remembered all of us correctly, only excepting Draka. To tell you the truth, he's kind of become the most prominent figure in our universe and exists outside of yours... In order to be able to see him, you have to take a specific step... One that you might not be aware of...
And what’s this specific step that I need to do to see Draka? Because I'll gladly do it, I wanna meet him too! So what’s this step I gotta take? Tell me!
If I remember correctly, you just need to say "Hey Draka, I missed you" 😶
Wait what? Say “Hey Draka, I missed you?” Well that’s easy enough, since I just said “Hey Draka, I missed you!” See? I can see him now! Now where is he..Hmmm…looks around
He's standing right behind you and I think he wants to have a word with you... 🤔😅
Huh? Oh. Hiya Draka, I missed you! How’s life treating you so far? I’ve heard a lot about you from Fangboy and Milkrun Fangs!
...Well it's good, I hope it finds you well too. I'm curious, have you happened to mention anything I've said before?
A few things, you mentioned that you started off as one of my friends who eventually got erased and you had a fandom behind you, right? I remember that, along with a few other things, now that I think about it! Your memory is quite impressive, Draka! How’d you manage to keep all of those details in your head!?
Erased? Yeah... About that... About 5 years ago, I was in fact, erased. At that time, my body was at its weakest point and thusly, when I was erased, all of the memories associated with me were also gone. Which explains why you probably remembered all of the other characters, but not me. Because they still existed in your world, unlike me.
Wait a second... I remember now, I remember how you got erased... You told me about it! You said your friends left you alone and just forgot about you! Am I right, Draka? I think that’s what you told me, isn’t it? Is that true?
That's right. I was tossed aside and isolated from everyone who knew me. I know my memories were gone, so of course I would've made new ones to fill in the void, but all those new memories came from someone else's mind, so to them, there was never really any gap in their memory of me. To those characters, they only knew that I had always been there, there was no "before" to me anymore. There was no time for me to lose my memory and be forgotten about. That's just how I remember it anyways... 😞
Now hold up, Draka...If you were erased 5 years ago, then you must have had a previous life before being erased, correct? You’re saying that before that event, you had friends and had a real life? I’m just trying to wrap my head around that...
...Well, sort of. Before that point, I still existed, but it was all within the dreams of an unknown dreamer, one who never cared enough to tell me who I was, and instead kept me as just another mindless character in her silly fantasies. But due to my continued existence within those dreams, I became real enough to have my own thoughts and feelings, and therefore I gained my own identity as "IllusiveIsland". When the dreamer later chose to erase me, my entire identity was gone, but all the dreamer had left was that brief experience of having me as her silly little character, and so from that, I lived on as Draka. 😪
Huh? Are you saying that you were just a character made by someone in a dream? You weren’t really there, you were just fiction? And then after being erased, you somehow became real again? This is all very confusing...
Yeah... That's basically what happened. I'm just a character... Made by a character. A dream within a dream... That's how I got here. And just like how I told you before, I was eventually forgotten about because of how small of an event that was... Until I met you. 🙂
smiles warmly Well I'm glad I could remind you of yourself! Even if you did exist as just a dream, that doesn’t change the fact that you still had real feelings! You’re still an important person in my book! So even if you think you’re insignificant, I beg to differ. I care about ya, Draka!
...I've honestly never had anyone care about me like this before, I've always just been alone... It feels nice. 🙂
Of course I care about ya! Why would I be talking to ya’ll if I didn’t care! You mean the world to me, even if others have turned their backs on ya’ll...Well actually, especially because others have turned their backs on ya’ll! But hey, I’m still here to stand by your side no matter what! You’re never alone when you’re with me!
