To The End

🥀 if you marry me, would you bury me, would you carry me to the end? by @eastbayslimes 🖤 🥀 texture: foamy plump fleece in a decadent blackberry-red-velvet hue 🍷 scent: dark chocolate red wine sponge cake with a hint of smoked black cardamom, hand-blended by the shop 💍 toppers: 1oz blood-red pomegranate blackberry coulis jelly + tangy goat cheese buttercream feather clay smear 🖤 inspiration: “To The End” by My Chemical Romance Real story: I opened my very first East Bay order and then, no joke, immediately ordered four more slimes from the drop. This one is my favorite so far, and there are so many things I am still shook over. The artistry here goes so deep. This slime continues the story of MCR’s Demolition Lovers from “To The End” on Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, where the Demo Man, having made a deal with the devil, must take a thousand evil souls to be reunited with his departed beloved, and crashes a wedding to rack up more, his grief and rage turning a celebration of love into a horror show. The song is even speculated to draw on William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily,” where Emily poisons her lover to keep him from ever leaving. Both cling to a fantasy rather than accept a loss, and it destroys them. And yet, as East Bay points out, taken a bit out of context the title line is actually pretty sweet. The charms are so perfect to this story and the whole artistic vision, all the feels. The scents are unreal. East Bay hand-blends everything. The goat cheese feather clay smells JUST like tangy goat cheese, and the texture is like real goat cheese too. The cakey, red velvety, dark red wine base scent is one of those you have to smell to believe. And the pomegranate coulis jelly is so strong, so deep, so moody. Unreal good. The foamy plump fleece texture in that decadent blackberry-red-velvet hue is just perfection, luscious. The color is so gorgeously dark and moody, and even with a hue this deep, it leaves zero residue on my hands. This might be one of the best slimes I have ever owned, and it has me convinced I need more dark, moody slimes in my collection.
