#Im really normal about this as you can tell#it may just be me who sees dissection this way but i always find that there is something very ritualistic and reverential in it#yes it would be a vivisection in this case since charlie is probs alive for this but that doesnt sound as good in the post#this is something ive been thinking about for ages and have only just been able to put into words#i am writing a fic around the concept at the moment however!#1000 words already and no ones even been eviscerated yet :((#charlie dowd#malevolent#malevolent podcast#noel finley#noel malevolent#detective noel#kiy#kiy malevolent#king in yellow#detective noel malevolent#the king in yellow#spine speaks
