Lmfao, ok so I heard about the new idol demon hunters movie and saw someone on tumblr make the saja boys group with tumblr sexy men.

Then my brain had the cursed idea of, what if someone made a similar au but with popular creepypasta characters instead, like Jeff the killer, eyeless jack, hoodie and masky, or laughing jack, bloody painter, puppeteer, and candypop. With the entire premise being them posing as a boy band to gain more followers for slender man or some shit like that.

Just a complete cringy 2010’s era thing I thought about because of how popular those characters were back then. Who knows maybe someone will do that. I certainly don’t have the energy to pull that off but I had to share this au idea so it would leave my brain.

[marigoldsramb1lings]

Yall I know it’s been a while since I’ve made a post, and mainly because I’ve been dealing with writers block, but today I was rewatching manlybadasshero’s gameplay of don’t toy with me and I caught something early on that I’d dismissed before but when Huxley and dahlia are going over the books in her shelf Huxley says these two things.

1- “I’ve just heard my share of bedtime stories in my time”

And 2-“and the others I’ve h are a little of in homework form”

————————————————————————

Huxley says these two things of handed but it made me think, was Huxley owned by a child at some point?

We know most recently Huxley was owned by some sort of entertainer based upon his comment of how he was only brought out to tell jokes to an audience and that he opted out of doing that. Clearly he wasn’t happy with that dynamic, but then we get these two comments about bedtime stories and homework.

So my mind has come up with a couple conclusions with how old Huxley appears to be maybe he just had multiple owners and was resold multiple times “which would still add more distrust in owners in general if he was with this child for so long that the child ended up in middle school or high school to be doing homework on some of these books” he would’ve been close to that child if he was able to here those bedtime stories he talked about so he might have been a toy the child slept with or carried around, until either the child chose to give him up or the parents decided on their own to sell Huxley adding to huxley’s distrust in owners after being abandoned by his host family.

Or

Maybe Huxley was a family toy that was passed down, and the last one was where he was used as mostly entertainment for the father of the family but would also be used by the child of the family as a regular toy, the father may have been abusive to the family as well as Huxley adding to his fear of hands that we see clearly in the game when we put our hands in the dollhouse, he might have even had to be a protector of this child like most toys tend to be for children in bad home environments explaining why despite huxley’s poor self esteem he’s quick to call dahlia out on her manipulation and the owner too because he’s seen it before and had to be defensive in that situation to for this child he had before the father of the family sold him off.

Anyway if you got this far, thanks for reading my crazy theory based off two lines of dialogue in this game I like, I don’t even think either theory is canon since I don’t think the creator of the game thought very hard about the toys backstories this was just a couple lines I picked up on and went wild with.

[marigoldsramb1lings]

Hey so new rant, for anyone who knows who The Theorizer is know what the Mort theory is, how mort turns out to be this death god at war with other sky gods and he turns out to align a lot with the Kronos mythos.

Well something’s been bugging me for a while about this theory and it’s that

THESE FUCKING MOVIES EXIST IN THE DREAMWORKS UNIVERSE TOO!

Like clearly the sky gods and mort are meant to align with the Greek god pantheon. But with these movies being part of the same canon (unintentionally or otherwise) that means along with mort and the sky gods, THE JUDEAN GOD AND MAYAN GODS EXIST AT RHE SAME TIME!

And the fucking Mayan gods are confirmed to be the armadillos and butterfly that follows Miguel and tulio around are THE REAL GODS!

What does that even mean for the mort theory? Does that mean the judean god and the Mayan gods are involved in the war? Or are they just watching the war go down and doing their own things.

Cause these gods also interfere with human lives, the prince of Egypt and Joseph king of dreams has the judean god interfere by one! Showing them dreams about either the future or past, for Joseph he’s given visions about the future, like the ram incident with where the ram his brothers Shepard is killed by wolves, and he’s also shown a later vision about what’s basically his future after saving Egypt. And Moses is given a vision of the past to steer him on the right direction to help the Israelites go free.

And the armadillo interferes all the time with Miguel and tulio like how he made the whole volcano thing happen that convinced the chief they were the real gods, or during the game the armadillo takes place of the ball and insures they win.

If they are involved in the war between mort and the sky gods I honestly can’t tell if they’d be working with F.E.E.T or with the animals.

Honestly there’s so much more I want to rant about here but it would just make my post make less sense, can someone please ask the theorizer about this because I need ANSWERS!

Anyways if you got to the end of this post, thanks for reading my none since have a good day/night wherever you are.

Y’all holy shit, Tadc theory (not fully serious)

—————————————

I just finished watching the newest episode of the amazing digital circus and had a thought, what if some of the NPC’s were previously real people, like in the second episode it’s implied that Cain may have mixed up real people with npcs he’s made before. With the newest episode it’s clear Cain has more power than he says he does because he’s able to PHYSICALLY ALTER JAX’S MIND TO MAKE HIM A VEGAN AGAINST HIS WILL!! Like Cain said in the pilot that he couldn’t do that but here he is this episode doing just that, and it seems to maybe be hinting that Cain is somehow responsible for Jax’s tail, that he is completely sure he HAD at one point now being gone.

Also Cain seemed to be more anxious this episode less than a minute in zooble makes an offhand comment about the old adventure being a bust and Cain was quite literally gets fired up about it, he grows larger and over over zooble going “I’ll tear you to pieces!” Before going back to normal and acting like it never happened, and throughout the episode he’s clearly nervous when one of the ideas the main cast has for an adventure is more popular than his own adventure plans, so my main theory with this is

—————————————

I think Cain started at some point taking the abstracted people in the circus to alter their minds in secret (after literally opening the floor to send the abstracted away where others are viably seen still alive). That way he can use their warped or possibly erased memories to act as npcs to keep the circus running for him, we see in one of the episodes that Cain is stretching himself too thin when he tries to think outside the box and his stability is required for the circus to stay up and running. So maybe (not even maliciously he couldn’t see nothing wrong with this because he’s a computer doing his job) Cain DID bring back the same gummy goo in the customer service episode (who could have been an older cast member in the circus) thinking his memory was erased but it wasn’t, so he had to pretend for his and pomni’s safety (hell maybe Cain could easily rebuild gummies body and mind perfectly based on how he was able to make an human’s brain act against its will, like forcibly making Jax a vegan is a big deal because Jax consciously still wants to eat meat, but either his body, subconscious or mouth says the opposite. Who knows what else Cain can do and would be willing to do to keep the circus under control)

—————————————

Anyway, if you made it to this point, thank you for reading, this isn’t fully serious I don’t think it’s completely canon, it’s just some things my brain rambled on and felt like a decent enough theory to throw out there, have a good day/night y’all.

The coffin of Andy, Leyley, and Athena.

Tw-abuse, car accident, chronic pain, use of drugs to cope, negative self talk.

Chapter 3-Andy, Leyley, Athena and the noisy ass neighbor

If these topics are too triggering feel free to skip this chapter most of the trigger warning stuff happens at the end.

——————————————————

(Athena’s pov)

*you suppose you shouldn’t be surprised that Ashley suggested that you three snoop on your noisy neighbor, frankly your not surprised at all, you actually quite down for it you’ve done a bit of snooping from time to time, it’s how you survived in your house after all, maybe it’ll be useful here?*

Athena: “…well, I don’t see why not”

*you wait for Andrew’s answer expecting no honestly since typically he’s the type to want to lay low*

Andrew: “nope, but I’ll come along if you two do”

*huh, again, you shouldn’t be too surprised after all he’s always big on keeping track of Ashley, oh! Andrew tosses you something…You got the balcony key! And off you three set to the balcony to spy on your noisy ass neighbor*

*the music seems to only get louder once you set on the balcony, you and the graves siblings look over to the right side…casually passing an ashtray on the table that you silently hope neither notice is more full than usual*

*oh Andrew takes a closer look at the distance between your patio and the neighbor’s patio*

Andrew: “hmm, can’t really see squat from here”

*ashley seems to be scoping the distance as well with her brother while you silently wonder if it’s worth the risk t of jumping across the gap….its only fourth flour after all…*

Andrew: “Ashley don’t you even think about it”

Ashley: “what?! I wasn’t doing anything!?”

*geez now you feel guilty like somehow your thoughts were somehow heard and perceived by Andrew as Ashley’s somehow…gosh now they’re going to fight again well not before you do something first*

Athena: “uh…maybe we could find something to walk across to the neighbor’s side?”

*andrew and Ashley both look at you the way they always do when you redirect they’re fights to something else, some mix between genuine guilt and awkwardness for losing it in front of you well…more like ashley looks awkward while Andrew looks guilty. Still they brush off the argument they were going to have and instead go with you to find something to walk across and…Aha! You find a wooden board*

Athena: “think it’s sturdy enough?”

*andrew takes the board in his hands as you three walk back to the balcony seeming to both measure and feel out the thickness of it in his hands*

Andrew: “yeah, looks safe enough and long enough to bridge the gap, we can use it”

*admittedly a part of you can’t help but fear the worst at the idea of balancing across a thin board four stories above ground, for what if your pain acts up while walking across and you fall?…that would be so embarrassing…oh! Looks like Ashley already made it across, she’s waiting for Andrew and you, he seems to notice your apprehension and instead of addressing it, he just has to go in front of him and puts his hands on your shoulders to help you keep your balance until you both get across and join Ashley. Gosh he’s so patient with you, you don’t deserve it*

*eh, you shrug off your fear, and join Andrew and Ashley in peaking through the balcony door to snoop on your neighbor and inside you see….a fucking pentagram painted on his floor and Candles on the floor and the guys wearing a robe…the hell?*

cultist neighbor: “OOOH DEMONS FROM HELL! HEAR MY PLEA! OOH THE UNHOLY ONES! I COME SEEKING YOUR ADVICE!!….goddammit, what am I doing wrong? I thought that was perfect. I knew I should’ve killed that guy when I had the chance”

*uh….you, Andrew and Ashley all glance at each other in concern…clearly your neighbor has lost his mind during the quarantine…also did he say something about killing a guy? Guy might be a bit dangerous too*

Andrew: “…what do you two make of that?”

Athena: “uh, it’s probably best we steer clear of him…just…let him do his thing until quarantine ends”

Ashley: “…everybody needs a hobby, I guess”

*andrew lets out a groan*

Andrew: “forget this, isn’t it almost time for the news?”

*news time it is, you three head back and get ready to watch the late night news…and of course you get the damn batteries for the remote, it’s not worth them fighting over*

——————————————————

(Still Athena’s pov)

*after fetching the batteries for your friends, though Ashley would probably gut you if she heard you calling her your friend it’s how you truly feel regardless, Andrew and Ashley still on the couch together…you try to stand while watching to give them space but your joints and nerves SCREAM their defiance after standing for too long, so you face and sit next to Andrew in the left side of the couch*

TV: “thank you for tuning in! Today we share with you some joyous developments regarding the tainted water situation! We’re happy to announce that all apartments affected by the tainted water have been secured! It’s been three months since the first incident was discovered, and the death toll is now at a comfy total of 53. No biggie. And the quarantine period for those who are at risk, has been extended by another two weeks.”

Andrew: “again?!”

*andrew and Ashley don’t look pleased…you probably shouldn’t be either, but by this point it’s not like anyone is looking for you in particular, you don’t have anything in particular to live for, so you’re just coasting along for the ride at this point…you did feel for Andrew and Ashley though, abandoned by their parents at the beginning of this and losing so much time in their life is cruel to them*

TV: “And to our friends in quarantine, thank you for keeping your disgusting, parasite-infected bodies far, far away from me!”

*wow fuck you too buddy*

TV: “Sorry, it’s ‘Thank you for your continued consideration for the public’s safety.’ That’s all for today, Cheers!”

Andrew: “…..I’m going to bed.”

*ashley seems to decide to do the same the pair of them splitting off to their own sections of the house to sleep…you suppose you should try to claw yourself into unconsciousness once more at least for a few hours, and with that you lay back on the couch and try to sleep*

——————————————————

~dream sequence (Athena’s pov)~

???: “damn it Athena for the last time I NEED to get more wine from the store! HIC! A-And YOU need to take me there, my fucking license is still suspended until next HIC-week”

Little Athena: “but mom I’m 13! I can’t drive you if I take you then we’ll both-“

*you’re mother bends down to get into your face her face red from either anger or booze, you can’t never tell anymore*

???: “D-HIC-DON’T FUCKING TALK BACK TO ME YOU LITTLE SHIT! BE A GOOD DAUGHTER FOR ONCE AND DO AS I SAY!!”

*you shrink back away from your mother, Her, face and nod, you know it’s wrong, you know it’s dangerous…but there’s no getting through to her as it is, especially not when she’s this drunk…She, hands you her car keys and sloppily gets into the car…you suppose you should be lucky you don’t have any neighbors that care or that would be embarrassing, you get into the drivers seat and start driving her

To the wine sellers….GOD THIS IS SUCH A BAD IDEA YOU SHOULDNT BE HERE, YOU SHOULDNT BE DRIVING, YOU COULD GET PULLED OVER AND ARRESTED OR-OH SHIT!*

*as you were trying to turn a truck you hadn’t been able to see hits the front of your car dead on*

~dream sequence over~

——————————————————

(Athena pov)

*you gasp and sit up on the couch after having that DAMN dream again, and almost immediately regret it as your aching joins and nerves send shocks of sheer agony through your body, you grit your teeth so hard you think you might break them you pull your knees up to your chest trying to make yourself small only for that to make the pain ebb more though your limbs at the move…you want to cry, you want to scream, you want so, so many things that you know you shouldn’t want…you check the time, it’s only midnight, gosh you’ll never sleep now on your own…time to get your medicine then. You slowly and painfully stand to your feet and slowly as quietly as possible make it to the bathroom where you keep your personal stuff, and pull out a few herbs and paper, then head to the balcony, every step you make sending a new wave of burning hot pain through your body*

*once you make it out to the balcony and close the door behind you, you take a deep breath of the crisp night air as you put together the medicine and paper then lean against the railing as you hold the stick to your mouth and take in a deep slow breath before blowing out the smoke*

Athena: “…fuck”

*you feel your eyes start to water and your voice crack…and but you still take deep breaths of your medicine and breath it out…until you hear an uncharacteristically gentle knock on the patio door, you turn your head…and see your friend*

Andrew: “…what are you doing out here…it’s midnight”

*his voice is soft and scratchy in that damn morning voice of his, fuck, you take another hit of your medicine as Andrew walks up next to you and also leans against the railing…you don’t miss the way his green eyes widen in the darkness of night as he sees the stick in your fingers and near your mouth*

Andrew: “…no wonder my ashtray has been filling up more than normal…I didn’t know you smoked”

*his voice sounds almost a bit hurt, that after all he’s confided in you about you couldn’t bring yourself to tell him about this…it almost hurts you more than the physical agony your in right now to hear him sound like this*

Athena: “…*I don’t…not like cigarettes anyway….it um…was prescribed to me by my doctor a couple years ago….i usually only used to edible version…but with the quarantine I ran out and I was NOT going to risk our asses by asking the warden to get us some…so I broke out the old bag I was originally given”

*you blow out an air of smoke and from the corner of your eye you see Andrew, seemingly trying to process what you were saying and dare you think he seems to almost be concerned…you shouldn’t be bothering him with this, how selfish of you it’s the middle of the night, oh, he’s saying something*

Andrew: “why uh….why was it prescribed?…you don’t have to answer of course if you don’t want to I just-“

*you pull the stick away from your mouth and put it out, and give Andrew a small smile as you learn on your arms against the railing*

Athena: “…I was in a car accident when I was a kid….fucked me up pretty bad….i…couldn’t walk for a while because the impact damaged nerves in my spine…and other joints….i did the physical therapy as much as i could on my own that I could afford but…my doctor said there was nothing they could do for the lingering pain after I was able to move again. Can’t really do surgery for damaged nerves of all things, so he prescribed me this stuff that he gives other patients with severe chronic pain…to just take the edge off a little. I only take it on bad days, nothing else”

*you refuse to admit that you’ve been having more and more ‘bad days’ as of late, you refuse to say how much you wish you could just lay on the floor and waste away some mornings because moving around feels that bad, you just give him the simplest version of the story you can*

Andrew: “that-god-that’s terrible, really I-…I didn’t know you had to deal with all that”

Athena: “it’s ok, that accident happened before we even met anyway so it’s not like you could’ve known without be telling you myself…it’s not all bad really…sometimes when I’m out here it’s kind of…peaceful, if I’m really lucky I’ll see some stars and it feels…freeing”

*he doesn’t say anything for a while…gosh did you get too serious? Did you freak him out?…you should’ve just told him something cool like, you swiped it form your mom before you got quarantined with him and his sister or something you’re such a fucking idio-*

Andrew: “there’s three right there”

Athena: “huh?…”

*andrew moves his hand out and points at three stars in the sky that you had clearly missed tonight, he even gently, moves your own hand so you can point out the area yourself*

Athena: “huh…I hadn’t noticed those ones before…you have good eyes”

Andrew: “listen Athena…I don’t want you to come out here by yourself anymore, just, come get me next time…you shouldn’t be alone when doing stuff like this it…really messes with your head, I can even bring my own cigarettes out with me and we can talk…or not talk, whatever you need”

*god, what did you do to deserve a friend like him…he shouldn’t put his own sleep schedule at risk cause of something that’s not his fault….but truthfully you had been missing those light night talks at the library you used to have together….you decide to humor it…for both your sakes after all, you grin at him as you both look at the three lone stars in the sky*

Athena: “alright, smoke buddies it is then, that’s an upgrade from being project pals right?”

*he laughs, that stupid fucking laugh that makes you want to give him and Ashley all the world to make them happy*

Andrew: “yeah, right totally an upgrade, so that’s a yes then?”

*you nod*

Athena: “why not, maybe a little company wouldn’t be so bad…you should go back to bed though, you looking fucking exhausted tonight”

Andrew: “yeah yeah, only if you do too”

Athena: “course I will, I’ll go back inside in a bit…just want to look at the stars a bit longer”

*for once you actually mean it when you say you’ll go to bed, just after you take in the stars for a bit longer*

Andrew: “alright…goodnight Athena”

*he says as he goes back into the apartment*

Athena: “night Andrew”

Alright chapter three done, Wahoo!

[marigoldsramb1lings]

Woo, ok I got new hand drawn pictures this time for my tcoaal fanfic

————————————————————————

First: a hand drawn picture of Athena (the colored pencils I bought were too dull to color smoothly but the design is accurate to what I had in mind) basically I always had the headcanon the cutesy look of the game is based of perception like the canon game is ‘a story of Andy and leley’ from Ashley’s perspective, well the graininess and sharp points in the color of this picture is how Athena TRULY sees herself, unstable, tired, and a mess (Ashley always gets frustrated over how calm and compose Athena looks on the surface when they’re in bad situations but THIS picture is how Athena truly feels on the inside, wrong MESSY, and so so tired)

The second picture is a demon I had in mind for the fanfic

The idea was that there are TWO demons summoned when Ashley would originally do the first ritual by herself in the apartment, this story has Athena going along with her in case something goes wrong, and as a result TWO demons show up (cause they both speak the verbal incantation and it’s Athena who overs up the guard first because of how panicked she was when he came in, not wanting him to hurt or get to Ashley) thus two demons, the one we already have in canon, and the second one who is basically like the mix of a cloak and fire, like fire itself is wearing the cloak, yet also kind of a part of it. Athena taking notice of how its body/cloak seem to move as one object and like it’s made more out of fluid than solid matter.

In This story the trio has TWO gifts, Ashly still gets the talisman from the canon demon, and Athena gets something entirely new from the new demon.

This lovely little thing, is an amulet that the cloak demon gives Athena as a way to call for help in extreme emergencies (with the stipulation that she can only use it THREE times and each time she uses it will have a small price to pay, if she goes over three there’s even worse consequences but that’s something I’m saving for the actual story)

That’s all I just had to urge to draw by hand to see if I could make Athena better and had more ideas while drawing that’s it.

[marigoldsramb1lings]

Since its pride months I figured I’d share all my ocs (that are adults) sexualities.

First-Athena: bisexual (she didn’t realize who she was even attracted to until well…the events of the fic, she’s been to busy to take notice of that stuff, but well she does LOVE the chaotic graves siblings after all)

Second- Tulip: Asexual (cause they are toys after all, she is hetero-romantic though, she’d be willing to do kissing or cuddles but there’s no sex drive to be found in a doll living or otherwise)

Third-Ivy: demisexual (able to feel sexual attraction ONLY when a strong bond is formed with the person shes interested in)

Fourth-Dawn: Pansexual (she doesn’t really care what a potential partner’s gender is, she’s just wants love)

Last: Sabrina: Also demisexual (she honestly wouldn’t even know she’d find someone sexually attractive until spending a LONG time getting to know the person, so Sebastian whims to get information doesn’t work on her)

[marigoldsramb1lings]

Alright that’s it for now just wanted to shitpost for a second with all the word vomiting I’ve done over this game. (Plus I give all created for the actual quotes from P.M Seymour’s channel)

[marigoldsramb1lings]

The coffin of Andy and leley is the perfect example of a self fulfilling prophecy. (Analysis)

—————————————

So first off, to explain for all the folks that haven’t taken a psychology class before or just never heard of the term.

The concept of a self fulfilling prophecy is that when someone believes something about themselves or is told they are something about themselves by others is a certain way or trait, it can cause people to do those actions because they are already expected to do it.

I think this term perfectly explains how Andrew and leley became how they are in the present of the game.

When we are shown in the vision room some memories from Renee’s point of view we see that her views of her children are negative and just plain awful given the fact all she’s had Andrew do for her (raise Ashley, and poach money off of him in this exact memory) and Ashley she’s never actually bothered to spend any time with because she was “too difficult”.

Renee sees Andrew as a disappointment and Ashley as an embarrassment.

We already know Ashley and Andrew are aware of how fake their family is and Ashley already thinks deeply as a child that nobody likes her, not even Andrew who she likely spends all her time with at that age.

All of these points basically tell us outright that Renee was NOT subtle in anyway about how she saw her children.(even if she tried to be children are notoriously good at picking up on their adults feelings, most children tend to be more emotionally aware than ADULTS in there lives)

So here we have a household where the mom basically forces her children to only be reliant on each other, seeing Ashley as this weird and difficult child (so of course later Ashley knowing this does things that pisses her mom off like getting a job at the massage parlor, I know it’s hinted it’s to make Andrew jealous because of his relationship with Julia but REALLY the mom outright says she doesn’t approve and thinks Ashley is doing this to get a rise out of her, so Ashley goes through with the job to both spite her mother, and because she’s being pushed so hard to get a job)

This pushing dynamic with Renee and Ashley makes it so Ashley acts out because that’s all that’s EXPECTED from her.

Then we have Andrew being expected to reign in his sister all the time (this of course leads to the Nina incident because the MOM forced them to be together so much that Ashley latched on to the ONLY constant person in her life so much she couldn’t stand even the thought of not being in the most important thing that persons life).

Andrew gets older and after the packed he makes with Ashley he resents Ashley obviously by other dialogues like how he doesn’t say “no” or disagree with Ashley’s assumption that he hates her now. But also I think he resented Renee after it too (of course he would resent a lot, the fact Renee forced him to be responsible for his sister, which forced him to even be with Ashley near that warehouse in the first place, maybe resented his father for sitting back and not intervening in their lives when he should have, it’s really no wonder he ends up so explosive with his stress in the current events of the game, it doesn’t make it ok, but it makes sense)

Then the final glaring thing of the taboos parts of Andrew and leley’s relationship, for one of we look back at that one picture where Renee catches Andy and leley sleeping in the same bed.

it really doesn’t look that bad on first glance, they’re not undressed or touching any place they shouldn’t be touching. They’re just holding each other (like yeah we know Andrew peeps on Ashley and stuff in some memories but honestly in any normal household or if we didn’t know that Andrew felt that way by now, this would look like to siblings just comforting each other, especially in a household as toxic as there’s where they really only had each other)

And the mom immediately jumps to their relationship being inappropriate because of this at first glance, innocent moment between siblings.

Which makes me wonder if possibly the mom started making these assumptions earlier in Andrew and Lesley’s lives, like would the mom snap at them for maybe hugging a bit too long as adolescence, or make a snide remark about how disgusting the display is (like how in episode two she makes a snide remark about how they should probably find two different places to live as if she didn’t leave them alone in the apartment together when she had the chance) when really nothing was going on at that point in their lives?

What if the reason Andrew even started thinking of Ashley the way he does now (cause remember in the seen where leley convinces Andy to join her in ‘punishing’ Nina, Andrew says he doesn’t really think of her as a ‘lady’ at that point in time) is because of how much his mom misread their relationship and scandalized any NORMAL contact he had with leyley, making it seem like he should be seeing Ashley that way because his mom is EXPECTING him to see her that way.

Anyway my tldr, I have a strong feeling most of the toxicity in Ashley and Andrew’s relationship and the taboo stuff that happens between them, probably wouldn’t have happened if their MOM didn’t always treat them like they were doing something wrong, just by existing together (like it wasn’t something she literally forced onto them in the first place)

[marigoldsramb1lings]

A few thoughts on the lemon muffin Easter egg.

So I don’t know about anyone else’s thoughts on this, but I both love the scene and also see a lot of TRAGEDY in it.

I mean we start the scene off with Leyley clearly being upset that her birthday doesn’t seem to be as important as her brothers, and when Andrew comes home and Leyley shows him the card he reinforces how KIND of an action it was for the teacher to go out of her way to get Leyley a card

And even when leyley shrugs it off as something the teacher does for everyone Andrew STILL points out how the teacher was still using her own money to get her students gifts for their birthdays when she doesn’t have to.

That tells me that in some way, Andrew at some point really was trying to reinforce positive influences and actions in his sisters life. Like he could have just said the card looks nice or shrugged it off like most siblings do, but Andrew goes out of his way here to tell leyley why her teacher doing something for her is still a kind gesture kind of shows that at one point Andrew was not only in charge of raising his sister but also teacher her right from wrong (and maybe even trying in his own way to show Ashley that there are some good people out in the world)

The next thing we see is how quick Andrew is to try and fix his parents “mistakes’ of not spending anything for leyley’s birthday because as much as Ashley tries to play it off, she’s clearly still hurt by it.

(I also want to point out here that leyley’s friends always lie to get out of doing stuff with her, even on her birthday and later during their quarantine in the apartment they don’t answer her calls, clearly even though she tried to make friends as a child, they clearly weren’t good friends, further encouraging her co-dependency on Andrew later like they apparently do this even when she doesn’t give a date for these events yet, the poor kid)

And of course Andrew seeing leyley is still hurt despite acting like it’s not a big deal to her, he decides to get her SOMETHING anything at the bakery that he can afford (at a reasonable price) to cheer her up.

I can’t do anymore pictures on my phone, but the rest of this memory is just more of Andrew trying to accommodate as much he can as a child with only a bit of pocket money to make Ashley’s birthday better, he adds whipped cream to the muffins to make them better for her, he agrees to watch the movie she wants to watch (just cause her parents say she shouldn’t watch it), and especially the part about how both siblings were wanting to spare the other their own feelings about the lemon flavored muffins genuinely and how they laugh it off and make it a tradition for Ashley’s birthday.

All of these little moments in this scene, makes me feel like this is the most GENUINE interaction the two have with each other, I don’t know when this memory happened in the timeline of events we’re shown but I get the feeling this was before the Nina insistent and packed between them (based on the fact Ashley says her FRIENDS as in multiple people not coming over for her birthday).

And since it feels like this memory happens before they’re both obligated to stay with each other, it gives a feeling of “what could have been” to me, if the Nina situation never happened would they have continued this almost normal sibling dynamic, because this entire day we see them interacting with each other and Andrew showing genuine brotherly concern and consideration for Ashley. Or would they have still ended up where they were at as adults because of how much Andrew was further pressured to parent Ashley as they got older.

Either way I love the memory because I feel like we get to see Andrew and Ashley act like genuine siblings, as kids in a shitty situation trying to make it better for each other. It really hits home as someone who’s mother was awful in real life how much having that one relationship they had with each other most have helped them survive for a while only for it to get damaged by factors no one could have seen coming.

Anyways if you got this far thank you for reading my rant on how much I adore these two and wish they could have been able to heal properly and be genuinely happy siblings together. (I’m so making my fic a fix-it fanfiction in someway)

Undertale-Ask the three fallen humans.

(We have ivy, Dawn, and frisk )

—————————————

Plot-two sisters, Ivy and Dawn find themselves in the ruins of the underground after trying to help a child that had already fallen. They’d heard rumors of MT.Ebott keeping the monsters hidden away, but had shrugged the tale off as a mere fable meant to keep children in line.

Now they find themselves in the very place they thought didn’t exist, while guiding a small determined child along the way, perhaps they could use some guidance on how to get Through the underground, perhaps you can help them through the underground and make friends along the way, or maybe you can guide the determined child down a different path. The choice really is yours.

——————————————————

Alright! New q and a for the undertale ocs is now open. Feel free to send them and frisk (who’s further down ahead already) questions.

[marigoldsramb1lings]

Alright, another oc post

These two are from the fandom I’ve been in the longest undertale/deltarune (but mostly undertale for now)

On the left is Ivy, on her right is her sister Dawn (they’re not sisters by blood, not even adopted they’re just REALLY close friends who have been each others rocks on the surface and became like sisters over time, to the point where they just call themselves sisters without question)

I really liked the idea of our favorite skeleton brothers interacting with to humans from the surface who care as deeply for each other as the brothers do for themselves.

Small facts about them: while I gave Dawn the same colored eyes as her soul trait (bravery/courage), ivy’s soul trait is actually justice her dark green eyes are more of a red herring (or at least I thinks so, Dawn thinks she’s the kindest person she’s ever met but ivy can’t fathom why) so yeah we have a justice soul and a bravery soul, guiding a young determined soul through the underground together. (In the fic I’ll no doubt write about them, frisk falls as they do in canon, except these two saw frisk and tried to help them but ended up falling themselves they end up becoming honorary aunt figures for frisk later on.

Ivy has chronic pain problems, and Dawn tends to be the person to pull Ivy back when she’s pushing herself too hard.

That’s about it for now for these two but I love them already.

Black butler-the tale of the guard dog and owl.

Tw: honestly it’s a black butler fic death will come up in this story a lot. This warning applies to the fic in general.

Character dialogue key-(Beatrice, Sabrina)

Chapter 1-The invitation

——————————————————

(Sabrina pov)

*ah, another day begins, and by day of course you me the earliest hours of the day, it’s the best time to be productive after all…and no one is awake to see the small flash of light in your hands as you complete your tasks with efficiency and ease. You stand from your bed and get dressed in your uniform and fix up your brown hair into it’s signature braid before setting off your complete your list of chores, handle the laundry, dust the shelves, list your young mistresses schedule, do the taxes, clean the weaponry, dispose of any evidence of last nights ‘guests’ in the manor, Oh! And of course make your young lady some breakfast but first you must wake up the young mistress so she can start her schedule for the day. So again you set off to your young lady’s quarters where it seems she’s had yet another restless night, if the messed up sheets and the tangled blanket around her torso have indicated correctly, for a moment you frown it seems as of late her night terrors have grown more bothersome, but of course she’d never be caught dead begging anyone for comfort for such things, much less you. So you straightened yourself up putting on you routined polite smile and open the blinds to the room*

“Rise and shine young mistress, it’s time to start another day!”

——————————————————

(Beatrice’s pov)

“Ngh…” *you groan as your maid opens the blinds to your room your body feels heavy after spending most of the night tossing and turning unable to sleep, keep your mind from wandering…you want nothing more then to fade back into the unconsciousness of your mind that you fought hard to get to last night, but your rational business driven mind knows there is no time for dawdling around in bed. So against your better judgement you arise in your bed and strech*

“What’s on the agenda today Sabrina?”

*you ask your loyal maid as you stand from your bed and start to get yourself dressed in your outfit for the day that Sabrina laid out for you*

“Ah, this morning we have eggs for breakfast along with your favorite berries on the side, the rest of the day’s list as follows, send a message back to her majesty as a follow up from the last assignment she sent you, go over the reports from your workers at the shop and send in the new designs for lollies, and more archery practice in the afternoon”

*your maid lists off all the tasks you have to do as you complete getting dressed at one point you considered all these responsibilities daunting, but now it’s pretty normal for you, ah, that’s right you came up with a new bunny design to the lollies in your sweets company, you were actually excited to send that one out, still as as proper as ever you merely nod and set off to your study where no doubt the breakfast Sabrina mentioned is already waiting for you.*

——————————————————

(Sabrina’s pov)

*you watch as your young mistress walks off to her study, at one point in your employment you’d follow her around watching whatever tasks she had to complete to make sure all her needs were met, something you expected a child from her standing would want but the little mistress proved otherwise, she honestly got upset at your constant presence almost like she didn’t know what to do with you there, so the agreement was made that the only thing you outright needed to help your young mistress with was learning combat and weaponry skills, the young mistress handles all the other tasks herself, so now you’ll just continuing your cleaning and you were doing just that until you heard a rustling noise outside on the porch, swiftly you grab your dagger from under your skirt where you keep it strapped to your thigh and open the door…only to find nothing there but a letter on the doorstep. You sigh in both relief that no more chaos is befalling you master at the moment and confusion as most people would use the mail slot, you pick up the letter and hide you dagger back where you keep it, and walk to your mistress’s study*

——————————————————

(Beatrice’s pov)

*You hear a knock on your study’s door as you sketch on a piece of paper coming up with cutesy designs for your company as you answer* “you may enter!”

*and in comes your maid who walks over and puts a small letter on your desk* “from her majesty?” “I do not think it’s from any of our current colleagues, I have never seen this name before my lady”

*you stop what you were doing to pick up the letter, and open it you pull out a yellow paper that reads “You are hereby invited to a dinner party at the phantomhive manor”

That is all the letter says, leaving you perplexed*

“…phantomhive?…where have I heard that name before?”

And the first chapter to my black butler fanfic is done.. wahoo!

[marigoldsramb1lings]

New day new fandom post! Woo!

These two are ocs I have for black butler.

The girl on the right is Beatrice Hart a young duchess who like ciel, inherited her mother’s title for the queen’s owl, the role basically making her family the queen’s line of assassin for emergency situations, when people like the queen’s watchdog find information on criminals or conspiracies if the transgressions bad enough the queen will send her “owl” to get the situation under wraps a queen can’t get her hands dirty after all. So after Beatrice’s mother died she had took over that position.

On her left in her maid and honestly only servant since the old ones she had were her parents employees so she let them go, now to be cruel but to give them a new beginning so they didn’t need to be indebted to their old bosses daughter, Sabrina Aveline a 25 year old lady who comes from a family of military veterans and soldiers, Sabrina is very much human, but was born with the ability to wield magic the reason why this happened would be a plot in a fanfiction I make about these two characters. Sabrina is a highly skilled fighter because of her families military background and is the person who trains Beatrice on how to handle her work skillfully and tactfully.

There story would start in the book of murder events, Beatrice being invited to ciel’s event because the queen encouraged him to meet her “owl” (for the sheer fact that they are the same age and wants to see what would happen by their work intertwining) and of course Sabrina comes along because they always go to these things together.

Woo I’m on a role today! Another oc for another niche fandom.

This oc is Lucy I made for the game Hikeback by clowndream.

Lucy unlike my other ocs so far is just a teenager mainly because i like found family fics and hurt/comfort fics at the same time.

Lucy here is a runaway, her home life was plain shit and she had enough one day and just ran away (more details will likely be given in the inevitable fanfic and qanda I do with these characters)

Has a similar power to the hiker except she has the ability to STOP time for a few minutes, she found those out by pure chance and has no idea how to use it…she’s a mess but she’s trying her best when she just comes across the mess that unfolds in the canon game, cue angst and to guys in a time loop trying to figure out how to both fix their situation and handle an emotionally wrecked teen in the process, fun.

[marigoldsramb1lings]

Yet another post BUT this time with an oc from a different fandom I’m in (again sorry for the gacha but my drawing skills are lacking as seen in the attempt I did earlier)

This is Tulip, my oc for the visual novel game Don’t toy with me by Karmic punishment, an awesome horror game where you play a toy maker watching your toys get along…or otherwise (I don’t want to spoil the game for those who don’t know what it’s about, there’s an amazing play through on YouTube by manlybadasshero if anyone wants to see the full game or karmic punishment has an account here on tumblr where they talk about their work including don’t toy with me)

Tulip is like one of those American girl dolls except the brand she was made by was an off brand that made dolls based around a certain topic, tulip was made in the 70’s when women were still seen as only wives and mothers so tulip was made to have a motherly vibe to draw girls into her, her design and backstory was for her to be a gardener with a very special green thumb, of course the brand that made her went bankrupt and poor tulip here was merely a prototype so she was never sold, jump to the present day and the toymaker from the canon game finds her on sale online and figures that since Dahlia and Huxley as still struggling to get along, maybe someone with a mother’s touch is what the dollhouse needs to whip into shape and buys her, and that’s where her story would begin. She’s made mostly out of fabric, plush material and plastic but she has a little wooden skeleton on the inside of her fabric to help her move around, the mark on her face is a chip in her paint from waiting in her box for decades.

That’s all there is to this one but I had a lot of fun coming up with her design, super excited to write about her since don’t toy with me is one of my more niche interests I’m so hyped to contribute to that fandom a bit!

The coffin of Andy, Leyley, and Athena: the side quest-something new!

Dialogue key(Andrew bolded and green colored, Ashley italicized and pink, Athena cyan, italicized and bold)

——————————————————

(Athena’s pov)

*after yet another thrilling day of starving and listening to the news, you search the kitchen for any scraps a food you can find along with Ashley in tow, you search drawers, the fridge, the freezer, all until you even start to check closets for small thing. like trail mix or something. When a strange white box falls from the the shelf above you and quite rudely hits you on the head, making you and the box falls together* “ouch!!”

*as you rub your head in a poor attempt at fighting off the inevitable migraine that will come from the impact on your already sore nerves you hear the graves siblings coming to find the source of this commotion* “the hell happened in here!?” *ashley picks up the small white box as Andrew assists you back up on your feet, Ashley then opens the box after noticing whatever seal that was on it before had torn, when the box opens a booming voice comes from inside getting yours and Andrew’s attention as well”

“GREETINGS TAR COLORED SOULS AND HOLLOW SOUL! SINCE YOUR CURIOSITY HAS OPENED A BRIDGE BETWEEN YOUR WORLD AND ANOTHER, it only serves that you satiate other’s curiosity as well! DO BE SO KOND AS TO ANSWER THE LOVELY VIEWERS QUESTIONS, FAREWELL!*

*with that the box goes quiet but a small blue light seems to be coming from somewhere inside it, you can’t figure out where though…geez what did you get yourselves into??*

——————————————————

Our lovely protagonists Andy, Leyley, and Athena are now available to answer your questions Q-and-A style, feel free to ask them questions, give them dares, send gifts they are locked in the apartment still after all. This is not canon to actual fanfiction but the answers might be depending on the topic, I think I’ll probably to qanda for other fanfiction so do too.
