We're all mad here

by TheWhiteCrayon

"But I don't wanna go among mad people!" said Alice. "Oh, but you can't help that," said the Chesire Cat. "We're all mad here. I'm mad -they're mad. You're mad, too. Otherwise you wouldn't have come here." /Or, a walk through the minds of the Victorious cast. (oneshot)

well, as usual, I don't really know where this came from, but... I don't know, I kinda like it.

I would just like to say that I don't have any medical background and I don't know a lot about mental illnesses. So if I have made any mistakes in the symptoms or feelings behind it, I am sorry. I'm also sorry for any grammar and/or spelling mistakes that I might have left in the story.

.TheSupernova.

Look, she's Victoria Freaking Vega, and everything's supposed to go her way, whether you like it or not.

(That's not because she's arrogant, or selfish, it's just because that's the way it's always been -the way it always will be. It's just a fact, is all.)

P e r f e c t i o n is like a second nature to her -its like instead of blood, perfection runs through her veins.

(And if it's not perfect, its nothing at all -and it certainly is not Tori Vega, that's for sure)

(the first time she takes a knife to her skin, she half expects some sort of rainbow flued to come out. But instead, she finds that she bleeds blood, just like everybody else. -That, when it comes to it, she's just another blubbering pile of bright, red IMPERFECTION.)

When Tori Vega stands on a stage, she shines brighter than any spotlight -brighter than any star.

Tori Vega is perfection.

Tori Vega is a star.

(But darling, don't you know? S t a r s that makeitshine the brightest, eventually explode -With a big, euphorious BANG -That's just how a s u p e r n o v a works.)

.TheWickedWitchOfTheWest.

Listen up guys, because the BITCH is BACK.

Her name is Jade West and she's the biggest bitch to ever walk the earth -but everybody knows that already, don't you? (don't you, don't you, don't you)

(And if you didn't, she'll be sure to show you.)

She doesn't have a heart. (Or did she before, and was it broken beyond repair? Oh my, oh my, watch out -because the Wicked Witch doesn't care fo g o s s i p.)

('You think her skin is green underneith?' 'Haven't you heard? -she melts at the touch of water.' Now, now, don't look so surprised. She's a Witch, after all.)

And she's not afraid of anyone or anything. (Lions and tigers and bears, oh my)-Instead, everybody's afraid of her.

Everybody -except for Beck, maybe. (whatever does he see in her?)

(Maybe he has a thing for crazy bitches)

(But in the darkness of the night -maybe- sometimes she might just wish things were different)

(Do the tears sting her face? -everybody knows that witches can't stand water -and Bitch and Witch are only a letter apart.)

Jade West never cries because she's a bitch. And bitches don't cry.

.AliceInWonderland.

There's girls who dream of fairytales and there's girls who live fairytales, and then there's girls who believe in fairytales. (and when I say believe, I mean believe, I mean c r a z y)

And Cat Valentine? -she believes in fairytales.

(If I had a world of my own, nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't, and what is wouldn't be, you see?)

Cat Valentine likes to believe that she is the princess, with her shinyshiny crown and her prettypretty dress, -oh, and Prince Charming of course.

(it's not too difficult to figure out who that must be, now, is it?)

But the fairytale has gone all wrong, because Prince Charming didn't fall in love with the Pretty Princess, but with the Wicked Witch -and that's not what her happy ever after was supposed to be like.

(thankfully, she still has her very own rabbithole to fall through, leading to her m i n d -though she likes to call it w o n d e r l a n d)

Cat can see things that aren't really there. (Or maybe they are, and you just can't see them.)

Like, a rabbit that tell's the time, and a hatter that likes to drink tea. (can I have a Red Velvet Cupcake with my tea? -oh, can I, can I, can I?)

Cat Valentine is the kind of girl who believes in fairytales.

.TheDramaQueen.

Katrina Vega. -you'd never forget that name. It's ( i n ) f a m o u s, and everybody knows it. (yeah, they'd better)

Trina Vega has one wish, and one wish only, and it's to be remembered. To be known. (And even if they only see a selfcentered dramaqueen -they still see her, don't they? -they still know her name.)

Trina Vega likes to be the center of attention. (The first one to see when you walk into a room -the first one to notice when you look around)

(Trina Vega sings the loudest and smiles the brightest and makes . sure . that . she's . seen .)

(doyouseemenow?)

She can't stand -absolutely loathes the thought of being i g n o r e d.

(When people dare to ignore her, she feels like screaming until EVERYBODY looks her way.)

People don't like Trina Vega, but they don't forget her either.

.ThePrettyBoy.

His name is Beck Oliver, and he's the prettiest boy you ever did see.

(Handsome and sweet and charming and talented, too)

Beck Oliver is like a dream come true.

(You know, to everyone else, that is. Because the thing is -Beck Oliver is his . own . worst . NIGHTMARE)

(Most children are afraid of monsters or ghosts or werewolves -but Beck Oliver felt he was all that together in one beautiful package.)

Monsters are dark and scary and sadistic. They hunt you down in the darkness of the night -and when they catch you, they eat you alive. (There is no greater description of his own mind.)

Ghosts are people who have died a tragic death, and are now lingering around on the earth -unable to find their peace. (Do you really need an explanation?)

Werewolves are men who -at night, when the moon is full- grow into hideous, terrible beasts. (Beck Oliver has never cared much about the full moon, but at night -when his demons begin to terrorate him- he sometimes tries to drown his sorrow in whiskey or wine, and when he does… he becomes a beast himself.)

Beck Oliver is so very pretty indeed. (But the p r e t t i e s t creatures, usually have the d a r k e s t minds)

(Name: Beck Oliver. Diagnose: chronical depression.)

.ThePuppetBoy.

His name is Robbie Shapiro, and you couldn't think of anyone more pathetic than he is.

If Jade West isn't scared of anything, than Robbie Shapiro is scared of everything. -But r e a l l y.

(He's scared of monsters and ghosts and werewolves and lions and tigers and bears -everything)

But most of all, Robbie Shapiro is afraid of people. Not any people in particular (although he might fear Jade West a little more than most) but just people in general.

He's not afraid that they're all killers and assasins or something -really, he's not.

He's really just scared that they're going to -talk- to him. (Pleasejustdon'ttalktome) He's scared that they're going to j u d g e him. That they'll laugh at him, or talk about him.

(But what he's really really afraid of, is that he's notgoodenough)

(Robbie Shapiro's really perfectly happy just being forgotten and ignored, sitting alone in the corner.)

Robbie Shapiro doesn't know why he's so terribly afraid of people. He just knows that when he's around them, he's so uncomfortable it's hard to breathe.

But Rex -Rex is something else entirely. (Rex is not afraid of anyone)

Rex is the person he'd want to be, but can't be.

(And, better yet -Rex takes the attention away from him. When Rex is talking, nobody looks at Robbie Shapiro. Nobody remembers Robbie Shapiro.)

People only ever seem to remember Rex. (Rex and the puppetboy.) -which is f i n e by him.

(Name: Robbie Shapiro. Diagnose: social anxiety.)

.TheMusicMan.

André Harris -you know his music, don't you? Everybody knows his music. (It's just sad that nobody seems to know André Harris.)

People think they know André Harris, but they don't (not really). -André Harris is the music man, right?

(If you don't know me at my worst, you don't know me at all.)

André Harris is just a happy-go-lucky guy, always ready for a happy-go-lucky tune. (right?)

(WRONG)

André Harris isn't perfect, and he never pretended to be. But that was before – before, (Victoria freaking Vega, that is).

(And Tori Vega -who is perfect herself- demands p e r f e c t i on)

And it's no secret that André Harris loveslovesloves Tori Vega. (What is a secret, however, is the lengths he goes to, to achieve that perfection.)

(He's still not perfect)

Now, Beck Oliver -that's perfection. (that's his goal)

(So maybe he just needs to be thinner, is all? -or at least the first step in the direction.)

André Harris -who was never really into sports- suddenly became quite the athlete. (run, run, run for your life, burn, burn, burn that weight and aim for perfection)

(do you feel it burning yet -do you?)

(its not enough though)

(s k i n n y is what we're going for here – food is the e n e m y)

André Harris tries not to eat -tries not to be hungry -tries not to besoweak. (when it comes to weight, zero is the perfect number.)

Look, here's the thing -André Harris the music man, isn't good enough for Tori Vega -so he needs to be more, be better, be thinner.

-And of course thin doesn't equel perfection, he knows that. (But it's the only thing that he can somewhat control so its just easier to focus on that part.)

(focus, now, f o c u s on that number -that PERFECT number -she'll love you when you reach it, she will, she will.)

Tori Vega still doesn't love him yet. Because he still isn't perfect yet. (you know why? -because he still hasn't reached that z e r o yet -that's why.)
