His Name is Once-ler

by Madagascar Queen

There's a man everyone's talking about. A handsome beautiful man. Who was he? Where did he come from? However, there's more to him than meets the eye, and it's very sinister. Based on Junji Ito's Tomie.

1. Notes and Trigger Warnings

Junji Ito Maniac and Junji Ito Collection recently piqued my interest. And with so many AUs in the Once-ler fandoms, it made me think of this. Trigger Warning: Imagine if the original Once-ler was chopped up in pieces, but instead of staying dead, each dismembered part of him regenerated, just like the gorgeous, yet despicable, Tomie. Now imagine if Once-ler was just like Tomie. Inspired by Tomie's Photos, The Painter, and the two OVAs of Tomie.

Big Trigger Warning: Toxic Relationships (narcissism, psychological manipulation [pathological lying, gaslighting, belittling] using people like cat's paws and tossing them away like garbage, destroying other relationships), obsession, madness, mentions of suicide, swearing, nudity, murder, and bloody gore (this is Junji Ito we're talking about).
