The Jester Sleeps Tonight
is a The Amazing Digital Circus fanfic by HotPatooty.
With a life as hectic and troubling as hers, Pomni is lucky she can get any kind of sleep. But one day, she finds herself struggling to sleep at her. It falls to Ragatha to help her find a bit of peace.
The Jester Sleeps Tonight provides examples of:
- And I Must Scream: The thought of being trapped in a colorful and chaotic hellscape forever fills Pomni with enough existential dread that she can barely keep herself from losing it.
- Cooldown Hug: When she sees Pomni suffering a nervous breakdown over her new existence, Ragatha bursts in to hug her.
- The Needless: While plagued by tremendous psychological torment, Pomni’s new body doesn’t have any material or physical wants, and she can’t even sleep.
- Sense Loss Sadness: Pomni is horrified and shaken by the fact she can’t enjoy sleep even as an escape from her sugary torment.
- Sickeningly Sweet: Played for Drama. Pomni finds the bright and colorful aesthetics of the circus to be so bright and cheery as to be unsettlingly unnerving to have to endure all the time.
- Time Stands Still: Sort of. While Pomni and her compatriots can move around, time doesn’t seem to move in her strange new world, with the celestial bodies constantly locked and never moving.
