ᴅɪꜱᴄʟᴀɪᴍᴇʀ: All of my OC's are supernatural. Salem is a witch, Judah is a demon, and the rest are werewolves. My worldbuilding and lore are of my own creation with an urban fantasy setting--using various sources such as True Blood, Cyberpunk 2077 and my own original ideas.
Tracking #noirapocalypto, please feel free to tag me if you want me to see your post! You can also add me to any tag lists if you’d like.
I don't have much of a tagging system aside from OC stuff and the few fandom posts. I will tag triggers though, such as tw blood and tw flashing. If you need something tagged, please feel free to message me.
I don’t always follow back and I’m slowly beginning to become comfortable blocking and filtering as I need. It’s nothing personal. Experiencing fandom is tiring sometimes and I simply want my stay on tumblr to be pleasant.

made this as a joke abt my fave char dynamics but. yk its not a joke anymore.
[paired off via column: arthur lester [top left] and john doe [bottom left] from malevolent, my ocs morgan casey [top middle] and gabriel ramírez [bottom middle] and harry dubois [top right] and kim kitsuragi [bottom right] from disco elysium]
i was thinking about the cooking headcanons i posted a few weeks ago for the boys and decided i wanted to talk about my ocs as well. for me. as a treat.
cassia: very good cook! her father (oliver) is a train conductor and travels a lot, so as she got older she started helping her mom (esme) out in the kitchen at night. not just to help make mealtime easier but, also, because it was a way to spend time with her mom. esme's a hair-dresser, and as cassia got to the point she could be more independent esme will sometimes take evening clients to make bills more manageable (and sometimes to allow for little family 'treats' when cassia's having a bad day or oliver is in town visiting). so, cassia's more than capable of cooking nice meals for herself and some to leave in the microwave for when esme gets home. but as much as cassia enjoys cooking, she's more of a baker! snickerdoodles are her favorite treat to make. you can count on there being fresh cookies or brownies somewhere in the dubois kitchen at all times.
nyxram: can cook, but it's strictly utility and nutrition. taste isn't important. if you're willing to eat alien food, then you can always count on her meals to be filling and positively reinforce your body/health in some way. ...just don't expect all of them to taste good. ...or, even, taste at all. she has a bit of a routine and is a creature of habit with her meals, so don't expect her to be an adventurous eater or cooker. will often refuse to eat anything considered 'junk food', whether by triceraton standards or... most standards. mikey has never been more offended in. his. life.
gwyn: previously had average/basic cooking skills; she and ash took turns making meals as kids when their parents grew more and more distant. but, due to being on the run for the past several years, she's fallen out of touch with it. she takes what food she can get (often literally; she's not above thievery) and doesn't bat an eye at the taste or sometimes even condition of the food. is the ONE person who would eat whatever don cooked after he burned the shit out of it. because food is food. it's energy to burn, and in her mind she can't afford to be picky or selective. has been known to raid casey and april's fridges without asking. if you don't keep an eye on her during patrols, there's a high chance you're gonna turn around and she's suddenly holding a pretzel she stole from a street stall or a head of lettuce she swiped from the apartment directly below you. once she starts spending more time with the boys/in the lair, however, she'll sometimes linger in the kitchen when mikey or leo cook... --not JUST to pick at scraps/nibble on things when they're not looking (mikey's passive perception doesn't always catch it, but leo's does; he never lets on tho), but also to watch and maybe learn a little. sometimes she joins them.
ash: like i said, took turns with gwyn making meals as their parents grew more distant/obsessed with their work and studies. she was probably the stronger cook/baker out of the two, and her favorite thing to make was bread (a liáfsian version of barmbrack). but, well... now her soul or spirit or something inbetween is trapped in the shapeshifting weapon. she can't eat, doesn't need to eat, and she has no means of cooking independently, either. gwyn will often try her best to describe food to ash (food she enjoys, specifically), but it's been so long that ash has lost a frame of reference to most flavors and sensations that come with taste and eating. a lot of it's lost on her. during the times gwyn will lurk in the kitchen while leo and mikey cook, ash will be the more vocal of the twins; she'll ask the brothers questions about the process, ingredients... and, if she's feeling silly, she'll beg gwyn to hand her over so she can be a cutting utensil. a dagger can be a kitchen knife if you just don't give a fuck.
Full Name: Mary Penny Moscati

Gender: Female
Traits: Snarky, methodical, reserved

Home Neighborhood: Town Square

The Story
Let’s get something straight: it’s Mary Penny. Not Mary. Not Penny. Not MP. Mary Penny.
She was raised in inner-city Cincinnati by a single police commissioner father. Whatever memories remained after her mother passed away, her father quickly shoved into the attic, never to be seen again. She developed a remarkable sense of discipline, but in exchange often felt isolated from her peers. Her father only did what he thought was best for her, signing her up for sports and educational summer programs, but he never really gave her a say one way or the other.
It was only when she found herself sitting behind a desk at the police station - like her father and his father before him - that she realized this isn’t the life she chose for herself. So she dropped her badge off at the captain’s office and just got out.
She only planned to be in Humongous Falls for a few days, just to clear her head and figure out her next steps. But an old friend of her father’s happened to live in town, and not only did he manage to bring her some comfort, but he was also looking for a successor to take over his private detective business.
Turning from a police officer to a private eye had its own challenges, but she took them on gratefully. Plus, she can’t deny a sense of childlike rebellion that comes with her new life. A town her father would never approve of, following her own set of rules and ethics. On the outside, she’s still her same dry-as-Death-Valley-humored self, but inside, she’s absolutely liberated.
For the most part.
Even with Dr. Quimby eager to assist, being the only private eye in a small town proved to have its downsides. For the sake of their own skins, people refused to talk to her if she needed information.
And that’s when James Foxworth walked in her door.
Connections
JAMES FOXWORTH: She was more than prepared to despise him when they first met. He’s so slick and sure of everything and sometimes he just plain rubs her the wrong way. But the most infuriating thing about him is he’s really good at his job, and they work really well together.
CASEY QUIMBY: Mary Penny has a soft spot for Casey. Maybe it’s because they and Dr. Q are so similar, and she doesn’t want to see them get sucked into the same place she did, feeling like they can’t make their own decisions. Though Casey also seems much happier than she did at that age.
ELECTRA DUBOIS: Electra used to be her hairdresser, before she went to work for Salon Galore. Now it would cost Mary Penny an arm and a leg just to see her. There are other places to get one’s hair cut, of course, but it does bother her that someone as sweet as Electra could stand to work for someone like Penelope Galore.
Bad movie I have R.L.Stine’s The Haunting Hour The Series Volume One it has Really You part 1(2010), Really You part 2(2010), The Dead Body 2010, A Creature Was Stirring 2010, and Nightmare Inn 2011
FBI agent Neville Flynn while onboard a flight from Honolulu to LA with a witness in a big case against a mob boss finds himself battling against deadly venomous snakes that have been set off on the plane.
