Description
"you can't kill me, 'cos I'm already inside you..." ~ SlipKnoTthis is Spike and Hatred. Hatred is a shapeshifter and demon, who talks to Spike occasionally. Spike sees him as a real creature, when really Hatred is just an emotion. Spike's brain's way of protecting Spike, in a complicated way... He's an emotion Spike is afraid of admitting he has.
Hatred is a personality inside of Spike, which is actually a defense mechanism; an extreme way of bottling up bad memories after long term abuse.
Hatred started out as an undefined shape, in the mind of Spike when he was a child, and was a kinder, but rude personality. Spike talked back to Hatred because, well, he had no one else in the world to talk to at the time.
Hatred soon told Spike things he should do to harm or even kill Charles (his abusive uncle, to those who don't know). But Spike was too afraid of Charles to do anything back. Besides, he was a brainwashed kid, who believed Charles loved him and that he deserved the abuse.
Hatred got sick of Spike never listening to him, eventually, and tried taking over his mind permanently. He would talk down to Spike, in a way that Spike would believe in it. The plan was that if he could get Spike to trust him, he could easily take over his mind. However, Spike started hating Hatred, because he'd completely stopped being nice to Spike, he was just a rude, evil and unpleasant creature. And Spike wanted to get rid of him.
This was, in a way, Hatred's plan all along; the more hate Spike had, and felt, the more alike they would be, and when Spike eventually became full of hate, they would end up being the one and same person...
So, this is just a drawing to have fun with that idea, of Hatred and Spike becoming one. And I like the idea that Hatred can do whatever he wants to Spike, but Spike can't even touch Hatred -- because he only exists in Spike's mind, but Spike doesn't even realize that.
So I think that quote there fits... :3 "you can't kill me 'cause I'm already inside you"
..and Hatred can't really kill Spike since he's just a figment of Spike's imagination..
yep.
Drawn on livestream!
thanks for watching

And then they fight, and end up eating each other. What a sad story, don't you think?

Sort of, but not as a character; more symbolical.
It's kind of sad that he doesn't fit in as an actual character anymore though. I really liked him.. :-/

Awww... I liked him too. But yeah, I guess it would be hard to make him fit as a character since he's just Spike's imagination.
Is your Killer Chihuahua Zackery gonna make an appearance? What about Spike's aunt?

I need an adult
This is some serious dark shit, dude.
Did you intend it to be some sort of schizofrenia, or just an imaginary "friend"?

Who is the Hatred? Is it the one on the left? The one on the left looks like he's smiling, while the one on the right looks like the one full of hate.
Oh, this feeling. So familiar. And he came back for me again.

Geez it kinda sounds like spike should go see a doctor. I mean I have family members like this, something tells me that ain't a good sign!

Hatred may actually be able to kill Spike. If he stays with Spike for too long, chances are that Spike's sanity will diminish and falter. It will make him go insane and as a result, commit self harm or suicide. So in a way, Hatred truly can kill Spike; the process is just very long.

Spike: I don't think so. We just cut up our friend Sam with a chainsaw. Does that sound... "fine"?

I have to favorite this one, because I like Slipknot. I gotta say, this also reminds me of Animal I Have Become, as well as The Animal and Inside the Fire by Disturbed.

"This was, in a way, Hatred's plan all along; the more hate Spike had, and felt, the more alike they would be, and when Spike eventually became full of hate, they would end up being the one and same person..."
That is so trippy and so awesome at the same time. It would make a great movie! Oh, wait. Black Swan did something like that. My bad. Anyways, still awesome. I love dark, psychological themes.
