Nicky's Torment: A Hello Neighbor Fanfic
By JJ
Summary: Nicky tries to survive Mr. Peterson's...creation.
Tumblr media
I woke up in a bed that wasn't mine. Not only that, but this entire room wasn't mine either.
I was beginning to panic, because I wasn't in my room.
Someone had kidnapped me and brought me here.
I slowly got off the bed, and I saw a flashlight on the desk. I went to the desk and grabbed it, turning it on as I walked over to the door.
To my surprise, the door was unlocked.
I didn't think whoever kidnapped me would leave the door unlocked, but I didn't complain, I just pushed it open and walked out of the room.
Just as I expected, the hallway was completely dark, but I still recognized it somehow.
This was Mr. Peterson's house.
I didn't know why I was in Mr. Peterson's house. Who could've kidnapped me and brought me here?
Aaron and Mya weren't suspects, they were my bestest friends. Despite them being a little standoffish, they welcomed me into their sibling group with open arms.
Mrs. Peterson wasn't really a suspect either, she was a nice lady. She was always tired and kept to herself most of the time, so how could she make time to kidnap me?
Mr. Peterson...
Oh my God...
Look, I don't hate Mr. Peterson, but I don't fully trust him either. He's really weird, and he's always in his basement working on whatever contraption he has planned for the Golden Apple Amusement Park. So to think he'd kidnap me,...it seems a little hard not to believe.
I was startled out of my thoughts when I heard a loud thud coming from behind me. I slowly turned around and backed up against the wall, and I tip toed down the hallway to see what or who was behind me...
And I didn't like what I saw.
A large, pale animatronic with reddish brown hair, yellow dress shirt, blue argyle sweater, brown pants, and black shoes.
Mr. Peterson.
But he was a robot.
When he turned his head around, my eyes widened at the sight of his sharp teeth that poked out from under his moustache, and black eyeballs that surrounded his green pupils.
The animatronic lunged at me, and I sprinted away from it before it could catch me. As I ran, my legs began to feel like jelly, and I almost felt like giving out.
But I didn't want to die, and that animatronic looked vicious.
I hid under a table in the hallway, and waited there until I couldn't hear the thudding anymore. Then I slowly got up and went to search for something I could use to get out of here.
But just as I was about to leave, I saw a shiny red key on the table. I picked it up and walked down the hallway.
As I walked, I noticed a red padlock on one of the doors. I put the key through it and walked inside the room once it unlocked.
The first thing I saw was a switch.
I didn't know what would happen if I pulled it. Would it make a noise that would disturb the Mr. Peterson animatronic?
But then again, it could open an exit.
So without another thought, I pulled the lever.
Nothing happened.
I was relieved, but also kind of disappointed.
I left the room and walked further down the hall, beginning to grow frustrated with the lack of light. Despite my flashlight, I wish I could see a little more in this maze of a house.
I found a blue key sitting on another table, and across from it was a door with a blue padlock. I took the key and unlocked the door.
Another switch was on the wall, and I pulled it, then I quickly ran out of the room.
I could've sworn I heard the thudding return in the hallway, and I stilled in place, clutching my flashlight to my chest.
As I quickly tip toed down the hallway, I saw a yellow key on the floor. I picked it up and saw behind me a door with a yellow padlock. I unlocked the door, and was about to pull the switch, but then I saw something in the corner of my eye.
Tumblr media
HE'S WATCHING YOU.
I almost fainted as I felt those haunting eyes on me.
I couldn't escape Mr. Peterson.
Those eyes on the wall matched the ones on the machine he built.
My hands shook as I pulled the last switch, and I walked out of the room, clutching the flashlight to my chest once again.
The thudding grew louder as I felt then trailing behind me, and then they started going faster...
That's how I realized that the machine was right behind me.
I began running away from the machine as it chased after me, the thudding growing louder and louder.
Then I saw stairs at the end of the hallway, and I picked up the pace with my legs as I tried so hard to reach the top of the stairs before that demon reached me, and before my body completely collapsed from the draining adrenaline and fear.
I ran up the stairs, glad that when I reached the handle, the door was already open, and I was greeted with a bright white light.
I woke up, and this time, I was on my bed, in my room.
My heart pounded in my chest, and I was thankful that the Mr. Peterson animatronic and the maze in the darkened house of the man was just a dream.
A knock on my door startled me out of my thoughts. "Nicky, dinner's ready.", I sighed in relief. It was just Dad.
I got up from my bed and walked out of my room.

Halloween HCS - Rogues Party
Alright everybody it's that time of year. My personal favorite time of year, the spooky season. So what better way to celebrate than to write Halloween headcanons for all the rogues? Going for general plus what they're doing this year specifically. Also surprise, I've added Music Meister (Clarence Rinette fan name is from @itsmalachitenow)
TW: spooky shit, murder, gore
Riddler
Thinks himself the belle of the ball, so to speak. Decked out in full elaborate costume. He has a ridiculous budget for this. Sometimes he stays in and gives out candy, but normally, he either wants to set a huge heist or go out to party. He needs to peacock every once in a while, or emotionally he'll start to wither. Matching costumes with his s/o are a must ;)
This year, he's assisting Jonathan in his haunted house venture (discussed below). The moment Jonathan announced to the dork squad what he'd be doing, all of them teamed up in their own ways to assist in making a horrific Halloween experience for the people of Gotham. Edward put himself in charge of animatronics and robotics.
The theme ended up being a literal haunted house, the entire building one giant horror maze save for several control rooms and employee areas- Which means a lot of hidden hydraulics in the walls and moving pieces Edward gets to crack his knuckles and puts together. He even rigs a set-up for an actor to fly across a room in ghostly pallor.
His pièce de résistance, however, is the start of the maze in the Library that has a hidden passageway that opens to the inside walls of the house. That plus some spooky elevators that transport guests to different levels- Jonathan couldn't have asked for better technical aspects.
The whole night he's hanging out in the control room, cackling when one of his devices gets someone. There will be parties on other nights he'll go to. He wouldn't miss this for the world.
Penguin
When he was younger he disliked Halloween because of bullying. That his face was horrific enough to scare anyone. It killed the fantasy and fun of wearing a costume. Even as his mother kissed his forehead and asked why he wasn't going out with friends-
Now he quite enjoys it. He doesn't really dress up per say, but there's always some fun parties to go to. Have some drinks, mingle, make some connections for the next big crime he's planning, then pass out in a pile of Halloween candy wrappers on his fancy chaise lounge. He'll do his best to save you your favorite if you tell him.
Now, if his s/o wants to dress up, it's a slightly different story. He'll be surprisingly anxious about it. Certainly it's not a lack of money or that the idea is displeasing to him. He doesn't want to be an "ugly" monster, but he "can't" play someone handsome. There's definitely a mental block there that he can't quite get past emotionally.
HOWEVER. If you suggest a mobster for him and being his little moll/arm candy? Period piece? He can do that. Big old cigar and everything. Probably commissions Jervis for the work. The guy will make sure it's all accurate.
He rolls up to the Halloween party at Harley's place with a box of "goodies" he has one of his underlings haul in. Expensive chocolates filled with liquor. Don't ask where he got it. Tonight is gonna be a fun night.
Mad Hatter
Halloween is a special time for Jervis when he can get really wild with costuming. Besides patching and creating things for other rogues, of course. If there is any kind of contest, he is likely going to win it. In fact, he's been banned from several around the city for winning too many times. If his s/o doesn't ask him to do their costume, he will pout a little. Even if he can't do the entire thing, let him help! He has an eye for this, you see. And maybe one year, they'll dress up as Alice, for him?
Of course he gets put in charge of costuming for the Haunted House production. Period accurate post-WWI clothing? Give him something difficult to do, why don't you? He does have to be told to keep eyes off some of the scare actors because they're all so pretty and lovely and look so good in his outfits, maybe they'd like some of his special tea- Jonathan helps him keep on point. There will be no Alice searches here.
For the majority of the night, he's manning the backstage area with Edward. Checking cameras that things are running smoothly. Then being available for actors who need a touch up! When one of the actresses comes in crying because some creep grabbed at her, Jervis is scuttling into the behind the scenes walls before Edward can stop him.
He comes back, slightly ruffled and helps the young woman calm down with (non-drugged) tea before sending her back off ready to go. The dork squad can drag the creep out from under one of the beds later and really put the fear into him. Maybe they'll kill him. Perhaps just a maiming. Depends on how lenient they feel later.
He's going to keep the costumes afterwards for different potential projects later unless an actor gets particularly attached. You never know when you'll need something like this!
Scarecrow
His Halloween consists of three things depending upon the year and the current situation: An elaborate spooky plot, a Halloween party to top all others, or a haunted house. Sometimes involving fear toxin! Sometimes not! Again, depends on how he's feeling.
Originally, he had intended on doing everything for himself for the haunted house. He's more than capable of doing it all himself, certainly. Yet, when he mentioned it to his closer companions (or as some call them, "the dork squad"), they all insisted on helping him. Annoying but... he supposes it's rather nice to enjoy this holiday with friends outside of Arkham. He's very clear, however, this concept is his and he has final say.
The story... Oh, he has fun with this. An old spinster and her daughter waiting for the prodigal son to return home from the war... several years too late. The daughter lures inhabitants to the home where the two women overpower them to keep them "forever."
His favorite part of the haunted house besides the writing, is the cellar. As the participants have been led upstairs, then faked out down to the cellar- it's a graveyard of bodies buried in the walls and the ground. Writhing. Trying to get out. They exit with the serial killer chasing them out of the hatch that leads back outdoors. With a ramp for accessibility, of course.
It's a hit! There's a line out to the street and the ten dollar ticket entry fee is definitely racking up some nice change as a bonus. He sets himself up as a scarecrow in the field at the exit, giving one last scare to the guests as they leave. He didn't even need to pump fear toxin in this time!
At the end of the night, the dork squad has drinks after the closing and Jonathan has to admit it wouldn't have been the same without his friends.
Reads "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" at least once. As is tradition.
Music Meister
Normally, Clarence Rinette is quite busy this time of year! If he's not involved with a stage production, he's decorating his home to the nines for trick-or-treaters. Big crafty, theatrical nonsense. Don't ask him how he paid for all this (he got an amazing deal through some vocal persuasion-). Someone once tried to suggest becoming a scare actor- but the truth is if he scared a child, it might actually make him cry. SO! He couldn't be a full on jumping at people scare actor.
Then he hears about Jonathan's plans for the season. Oh-ho-ho! A haunted house? For him? ("No," Jonathan quips, "it's not for you at all-") Well, he's got to be involved in this. It's a theatrical production-! ("It's not a full on production-" Jonathan informs him) ALRIGHT- but it's environmental storytelling. That's set-design. That's him!
People might not expect it of him, but he's done a bit of everything in the theater world. Backstage, lighting, sound, set design and building- and of course as a singer and lead, where he truly belongs. Yet, he's having a field day bringing in furniture for the haunted house. Setting up spiderwebs and aging some of the walls and props. Atmospheric sounds and smells for some of the rooms.
He's also in charge of assisting Jervis with makeup and making sure actors are ready- Before dressing up as an actor himself, you know. Gives himself a guide role in the Library to hype people up with the "history" of the house. Plus the hidden passageway reveal. Loves every second of it.
Victor Zsasz
Hardly registers Halloween. Every day is Halloween to this guy. Look at the people he associates with! He's surrounded by dead things all the time. How is this one time of year really that much different except everyone else is on the same page? What, he's supposed to dress up? He's got killing business to do.
Picture it. His target is walking around Gotham, feeling tipsy in their angel costume. The biggest Halloween party in town always spills out into the streets. A figure is closely following them in a full latex mask and black outfit. "Fake" machete at their side. The angel stumbles into an alleyway, the figure following close behind. The figure is Zsasz, in case you didn't guess, and he's got an angel to carve up for dinner. Cuts their heart in half as he leaves it next to their corpse. Takes a couple of their teeth for souvenirs. The rest he'll toss in the harbor. Have fun identifying that, GCPD.
If for some reason he IS home, he'll pass out candy to kids. Hawaiian shirt to cover his chest of scars. Spooks teens away that he thinks are too old. Gives handfuls of candy to everyone else. Has a straight face for every single person and the parents are definitely checking that candy when they get home (it's fine).
Might be convinced to dress up if his s/o really begs. He'd like it if they dressed up in something suggestive (for him) but he'd understand if they didn't want to. He will let them know that whatever they wear, he's probably taking it off with his knife by the end of the night.
Killer Croc
Normally, he actually doesn't like Halloween much. People assume his face is a scary costume which, frankly, is a pretty awful feeling. Sure, he can walk around easier, but it doesn't stop the stares. Now people feel inclined to ask him for photos. Or worse, they just take them without asking. More than usual.
Several parents at the daycare he sometimes works security at decide to do group trick-or-treating. They tell him he doesn't have to join in or... you know, he probably has plans, nevermind- He's already agreeing. Chaperone, he can do that. Better than staying home to watch the tube and not answer the door all night. He always leaves a bowl of candy but they always end up knocking anyways.
One of the kids gives him kitty ears and he rolls with it. If anyone asks, he makes a graveled, growling "meow" in his voice that makes the children giggle. Waylon watches the groups of people around them, glaring if any of them even look like they might try to pinch someones wallet or start bullying.
There is one Incident that occurs at a place with a porch in the downtown area. Waylon recognizes it from a mile away. A guy in a reaper costume is sitting on a chair. The other college kids are drinking beers telling kids to go up. That it's safe. They won't get scared. Then the man in costume scares the life out of them to the raucous laughter of all of them.
One of the parents seems to be trying to ask them if the children are going to get scared. Of course the people at the house lies. Instead of guiding the children away, however, Waylon grabs one of the kids by the hand and steps onto the porch to the man in costume. Leans down and gives his best crackling "meow" into the masked face of the man. Do it. Scare this fucking kid. He can smell the fear on the reaper as the kid pulls him away.
"Don't scare any more kids." He tells the college students. Shaking, they nod before going to check on their friend. Genuinely, he's very proud of himself for handling it in a way that didn't phase the kids.
Harley Quinn
If she's dating someone, there's a 90% chance they're doing some kind of matching costume situation. It's like. The rule for couples! They'll be really cute or really scary or both! Joker would NEVER do anything like this with her no matter how much she begged and pleaded. Consider this part of her getting to just be happy with herself and the things he wants to do with her life.
This year, she is throwing a party and it is going to be talked about for years afterwards. She figured if Jon isn't doing it this year, it's her time. She and Ivy attend his haunted house the night before in support. At one point she almost jumps into her friends arms with a particularly well timed jump scare out of the wall.
The theme for her party (that no one is expected to dress for) is undead glitz and glamor. We're talking the Hollywood Forever Cemetery kind of style. There's skeletons dressed in 40s and 50s red carpet affair around the apartment. Harley herself is a zombified Marylin Monroe type. Curled blonde hair and full makeup, one side of her face "split" to show fake teeth on her cheek.
There is a photo station for everyone attending with a camera she borrowed from Edward for high quality shots. Plus a polaroid. For funsies! It has props and a cardboard standee that Harley painted herself to look like an old fashioned hotel ballroom.
There's old halloween movies playing in one room for people who need a break. Food on the table in one room. Another is playing some spooky music for dancing. Everyone has a little something for them! Everyone gets a tad too drunk but overall it's a great time.
Poison Ivy
Pamela is always doing a sexy costume. She and Selina have a slight competition each year on who can show off the most tasteful amount of cleavage in an outfit and have the most heads turn. It's not malicious or catty (ba-dum), but rather a friendly thing where it's the two of them in on the joke. One year Harley convinced them to do a very cute-sy group look as the Gotham City Sirens. There's several lovely posed photos from the beginning of the night and then a very drunk selfie of the three of them at a pizza place at the end of the night. The latter is Pamela's lock screen on her phone.
For the party, Harley asked for some minor assistance which roughly translates to "keep me reigned in or I'll go way overboard." A lot of shopping and keeping in budget. Dressing up the skeletons and helping to decorate. She even allowed Harley to borrow some of her "spooky" looking plants to add to the aesthetic.
Pamela asked Waylon (who already had plans) for some recipes and added her own recipes to the mix. There's some that are more elevated since it is an adult party. There are plenty, however, that are incredibly cheesy- like crushed oreos to mimic graveyard dirt. She dresses up as a spooky Mae West with floral/vine theming. Full curves on display. There's several non-rogues who try to hit on her and she kicks them from the party.
Two-Face
His costumes are usually incredibly on the nose. Angel/Devil. Black and white vs color. One year they even did Roger and Jessica Rabbit from "Who framed Roger Rabbit?" Before you ask, obviously Jessica was played by Harv, one fake tit barely held in a dress. What normally starts out as a night out going to a party ends up with very drunk Halloween karaoke where Two-Face sings duets, both parts.
If they have an s/o, the dynamic changes a little. Do they want to do a trio costume? A couple costume and Harv and Harvey have to just agree on one harmonious look? Honestly they're fair game with whatever. It's not often they've had a third that wants to be involved in the holidays with them. Being a kind of sort-of trio can complicate things or put people off.
This year in particular they were a blend of rollerskating Ken and white fur coat Ken from the new Barbie movie. It is... hideous. It is garish. Who the hell agreed to make this- Harv is struggling with the one rollerskate on his side but at least Harvey has them standing upright. He agreed on a whim to be white fur coat ken and now it's kind of itchy.
The photos at the party, however, are fire and Harley makes copies for herself because it's so delightful. In hindsight, they had so much fun and it was one of the best years.
they do sing "Barbie Girl" by Aqua and "Barbie World" from the movie with Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice as a theme by the end of the night. There is video.
Black Mask
Ironic or no, he loves Halloween. The mythos of wearing the face of a monster to prevent yourself from being haunted or taken by spirits? That's SO his thing. Before the incident in which he "gained" his new face, he would drop insane amounts of money for costumes and sfx. Movie-quality for the big parties at Sionis. Due to being a makeup company, they had some big ones over the years for Halloween.
Now he tends to get busy, but appreciates the masks on the market. If there's a particularly good one he finds that can be set permanently, he'll add it to his collection. If an s/o happens to show him scare maze videos with their different sets and makeup, he might actually find a special interest in it.
When he finds out Harley is throwing the Halloween party this year, he's throwing his own opposing party. A better party. A party with blackjack. And booze!
The party ends up being a lot of underground folks and their partners trying to out-look each other and network. If Roman doesn't have a partner at this point, he has some arm candy in a "sexy" whatever costume to make him look good. When a partner is in the mix- he gets to drop the money on THEM on wild costume and sfx shit. Think of Heidi Klum Halloween but a team effort. Plus bonus: to do the sfx, he'll have to make a mold of your face that he gets to keep and look at amongst his collection.
Mr. Freeze
He's working, leave him alone.
Used to really like passing out candy to the kids with Nora. Fell out of it for a long time. Some years due to incarceration. Others, because of his own mourning. Now he tends to be working towards a cure in solitude far away from civilization to not be bothered for things like holidays.
What he does this year is very dependent on if he's seeing someone or not. If he's seeing someone, he rather wants to stay in and celebrate "normally." Small decorations around the house. A bowl of candy and he dresses up as a space man- The two of you sit in front of the house passing out candy. He delights seeing the kids and complimenting them on their costumes.
If he's by himself, he ends up going to Harley's party and sitting by himself with a drink in his hand for most of it. So awkward and uncomfortable but there is something about his friends not wanting him to be alone. They convince him to a group photo that he ends up framing to put in his lab next to Nora's picture.
Either way, Christmas is his time, so the moment it hits midnight October 31st, everything Halloween is GONE. Now that he's celebrating holidays this year, he's had to restrain himself hard-core so he's not that guy rushing everyone to Christmas.
Ra's al-Ghul
Does Ra's really celebrate holidays? Not unless he's with someone where that's important to them. Let's be honest, he's so old, he was there for some of these celebrations in their infancy.
His idea of celebrating Halloween is recounting the traditions surrounding it. And getting really creepy and ancient with it. I'm talking Samhain kind of thing.
He does not give out candy. If his s/o is into that, he'll kind of participate and not really Get It. Don't expect dressing up, either.
Lots of Edgar Allen Poe readings.
Bane
Didn't celebrate Halloween as a child and constantly forgets about it as an adult. Waylon reminds him to have a bowl of candy the week before because otherwise, Bane won't have anything. This has resulted in him opening the door to some very irate children wondering why he's a weirdo with no candy. Children are harsh, they'll tell you!
If he's out and about for Halloween doing villain stuff, people compliment his Luchador costume and he dies a little inside. While it sucks for him, it is one of the funniest things to see in person. No one is scared of the luchador in Gotham. The children are downright delighted. They want photos with him. There's multiple kids that run up to him speaking the most rapid-fire spanish you've ever heard in your life. There's several in their own luchador costumes that are losing their tiny minds at him. Changes his mood immensely for the better.
He absolutely gives extra candy for cute costumes and little kids, the sucker. He sees a toddler dressed as a pig and he's just cooing "pobrecito cerdo...."
Might go to Harleys party once the kids stop coming. Just to say hi and grab a beer. Feels pretty happy with himself.

the most horrifying part of alien romulus is the fucking facial cgi (as always)
pretty fantastic movie otherwise though, excellent horror. more in line with the original alien than any of its sequels, although it does feel like a lot of the beats are also like "DO YOU REMEMBER ALIEN (1986)??? see what we did there?!"
the writing starts off strong with what felt to me personally like a very interesting approach to, you know, the horrors of capitalism and mining (poverty, dead parents, teen pregnancies, trapped by the remoteness of the environment, company towns and company stores), and it does a fair number of interesting things contrasting that to the parts in orbit (gravity fields, etc.) and, frankly, some absolutely fantastic horror visuals that make you feel like they are really innovating with both creature design as well as like they maybe used to work in halloween haunt mazes? very... personal shots? which i appreciate because i feel like covenant et al were more cinematic, which was fine, but also less horrifying in some ways. the acting was pretty good.
however the facial cgi for [spoiler character] was fucking terrible! this has been my #1 complaint about cgi for going on decades now and i have to be honest, this was some of the ugliest finished work i have ever seen. textures not mapping cleanly, form distention with animation, just real shit work. dunno if it's lack of budget or a bad art/animation director or the ever-present crunch because SFX is ununionized, but jesus fucking christ i hate this shit. it was bad in I, Robot and it was slightly less bad in Tron Legacy and it sucked all over again in Rogue One and The Mandalorian and Dial of Destiny! learn some fucking lessons from animators and rediscover the uncanny valley!!! watch jaws and spend a metric asston of time considering why we see so little of the shark! APPLY THE LESSON
(or, like, you've already got a half-destroyed character, just lean into it and make their mouth mechanics destroyed by acid or something. or make it look even more unnatural on purpose! it's a horror film! there are a lot of solutions and bad cgi is the worst one always!)
anyway i just really DO appreciate any time the alien sequels really dig into the birth/body horror. it's good! more of them should be better at it! fuck off james cameron! (sorry had to get that dig in there) (also, i mean, specifically, all the growth and rupturing and body-breaking, and to a lesser extent all the giger-styled vulvas etc; the actual uh babies and so forth are less interesting to me from a horror perspective. definitely weird and unsettling but also a little slenderman-was-born-on-the-something-awful-forums, you know?)
also effective use of treating the facehuggers like spiders or tarantulas. underrated approach to reinterpreting their horror. (unfortunate time to have a fur gremlin running around the house.) what i liked most about this movie is it managed to take a lot of the existing horror elements of the alien franchise and make them feel fresh and new and horrifying in completely new ways. real good shit.
also i see you weyland-yutani "W" podships, i see you AD and props. go prod team
love the score also. felt almost williams-ish and kinda raidersesqe (in the ark horror sense) and i vibed with it severely

Ten Book Reviews
To celebrate the new year I thought I'd do some short book reviews! This is by no means a comprehensive list of everything I read in 2023; I decided to focus on fiction rather than non-fiction for this post, and I slowly trimmed down my list of books to focus on the ones that gave me the most to talk about.
Books I Liked:
Annihilation, Authority, and Acceptance by Jeff VanderMeer There's so much to be said about these books, they really deserve their own post. This series is so characterful, so atmospheric, and so masterful in its use of suspense, dread, and tragedy. Lives up to the hype 100%.
Devil House by John Darnielle John Darnielle reads his own audiobooks, and he's good at it. This book follows a true crime writer as he confronts the consequences of framing people's lives as narratives. It's about haunted places. It's about the often-forgotten potential for cruelty in the storytelling impulse. But most of all it's about the thesis that it's self-defense for a squatter to kill a landlord with a sword. If you like this, Universal Harvester is also good.
The Man Who Was Thursday by G. K. Chesterton I think someone should do an adaptation of this that takes place on tumblr.
Til We Have Faces by C. S. Lewis In this book, C. S. Lewis writes about a woman's struggle against god- no, wait, where are you going, come back! It's a take on the Cupid and Psyche myth from the perspective of the jealous sister, here reimagined as a genuinely concerned sister. Vivid imagery, beautiful prose, and a meditation on the relationship between the human and the divine that I still found interesting as a homosexual apostate. There's some fascinating stuff about the androgyny of God in here. Yes, for real. From Clive Staples Lewis.
Radiance by Catherynne M. Valente This book is overstuffed with concept. It's set in an alternate 20th century where the empires of earth have settled the nine planets, and it's about the film industry, which is based on the moon because the united states never colonized california. The story is a collection of ephemera - interviews, ship manifests, tabloid columns, clips of damaged film - relating to the disappearance of a renowned filmmaker who vanished while working on an infamous lost documentary. Also, space whaling. It's about that as well. Every time I try to describe how I feel about Valente's writing style it comes out sounding like one of those weird perfume reviews. I'll just say I found the prose overwrought at times, but ultimately I'm glad kept reading. The book is packed with mythological references, and while some are quite effective, there are also some that don't really do anything. There's a lot of genre-hopping; the noir sequences chafe against the style of the prose a bit, but the cosmic horror scenes are chilling. What is really good about this book is how thoroughly everything in the alternate-history setting is thought through. It talks about how the long day-night cycle of Venus affects the work of a film lighting technician. It talks about French colonies on Neptune losing radio contact with Paris as the earth passes behind the sun. It confronts the idea of Venus and Mars and Pluto as terra nullius, even though that's a concept some people seem to prefer not to critique. I'm going to be thinking about this book for a long time. If you like Nope, Dark City, or Mystery Flesh Pit National Park, you should read this.
Finna by Nino Cipri Weird, fun novella about two exes who still love each other, wandering through a maze of alternate universes for minimum wage. Portal-esque corporate satire, snappy pacing, and a compelling central relationship. So good.
The Archive Undying by Emma Mieko Candon A beautifully written story about body horror, giant robots, gay sex, religion, mortality, and tenderness. The worldbuilding is intricate, sprawling, and sometimes ambiguous. The relationship between the main character and the love interest is far from the Standard Romance Subplot Structure, it's fresh and very compelling. The in-universe sacred poetry that shows up throughout the book is also very good. I have it on hold at the library for a reread. This book is tragically underrated because they're marketing it to the wrong audience. It's more cronenberg than canva cover. Tor should be selling this to the Annihilation weirdos, not the Red White & Royal Blue crowd. People go into it with the wrong set of genre expectations and then don't know how to react. I'm here to set the record straight: The Archive Undying rules and you should read it. I especially recommend this book to Friends at the Table listeners, since the author is One Of Us and the show is a notable influence.
Books I Didn't Like:
Six Wakes by Mur Lafferty The setup to this book is very compelling: 6 people lived a happy life together, isolated on a spacecraft for decades, until they were all violently killed. New copies of their younger selves wake up in the ship's cloning facility with no memory of last 60 years. One of their future-past selves was a murderer, and the killer's clone inherits their legal culpability. While the high-concept murder mystery is a great idea, the future politics are profoundly unimpressive, and sadly by the end of the book the latter has entirely subsumed the former. There keep being these flashback scenes about cloning politics back on earth - not only are these very politically shallow, they also kill the claustrophobic ship-in-a-bottle atmosphere of a good fucked up space scenario. As an example of the shallow politics: "all major religions" are stated to be intolerant towards clones. Apparently all the sects and denominations of All The Religions are just doing the same thing, as if they are interchangeable with each other. And then there are The Riots, which are portrayed as a political misstep, too disruptive, too loud. And then of course we have the NYC real estate billionaire villain. Florals? For spring? It's beyond me why a locked-room murder mystery would even need a villain who wasn't in the room. There's also a hacking scene I found so absurd that it nearly made me return the book unfinished. Disappointing.
Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman Yeah, that's right, I'm gonna talk shit about Neil Gaiman on tumblr. You think you can scare me. old man?! I can't be silenced! Anyway, remember the Sexy Lamp Test? This is the worst failure of the Sexy Lamp Test I've ever seen. The girlfriend that the guy in this book is fighting with his brother over could be replaced by a nice car the brother took for a joyride, and the plot wouldn't change. At least with a car there wouldn't be consent issues.
River of Teeth by Sarah Gailey In the real-life 20th century, there was a proposal by the U.S. government to introduce the hippopotamus to North America as a meat animal. Thankfully, it was scrapped. This alt-history western asks: what would the world look like if they went through with it? It's an intriguingly bizarre premise. Unfortunately, when I made that "your story should have scenes that aren't bioware cutscenes or tvtropes pages" post, this book was one of the reasons why. The dialogue and characters are nothing to write home about, and the plot is just rote. Here we are in a bar fight. Now we are planning the heist. Now we are remembering the tragic backstory. Now the antagonist has double crossed us. The hippos are involved in the plot, but they don't drive the plot in any way that depends on their being hippos. They only really differ from horses aesthetically. The thing that really bothers me about this book, though, is that this story clearly wants to be a modern, progressive take on the western genre, with a queer cast and all, but it doesn't give a single thought to the existence of native americans. There are no native main characters or side characters. Despite being a story about the radically destructive transformation of the north american ecosystem by the settler state, there is not even a single throwaway "the Choctaw are not pleased with the feral hippopotamus situation" line. Radiance gives more thought to the status of native american society in its alternate history than River of Teeth, and Radiance takes place entirely in outer space. Come on now.

So About Fazbear's Fright
Someone found a corpse in the Freddy Fazbear horror attraction
lets talk about it?
⚠️Content Warning for descriptions of blood, gore, death and mentions of child death/murder⚠️
I'm sure everyone who's seen the news recently knows what Fazbear's Fright is but just in case; Fazbear's Fright is a walkthrough horror attraction based on Freddy Fazbear's Pizza (think a haunted house but based off a cheap pizza arcade with animal robots)
Fazbear's Fright take it's inspiration from the 5 Missing Children of Feddy Fazbear's original location and the tragedy that took place in it's second location when an animatronic attacked a security guard and removed a piece of his brain.
(Wether or not this is appropriate or in good taste is for you to decide and not the point of this post)
Anyway
Fazbear's Fright opened last week to a mediocre reception. (for reasons listed above).
They have one (1) functioning animatronic
The SpringBonnie suit, a specialized suit that allows use as a wearable costume and an animatronic robot. These suits were discontinued soon after their introduction when the mechanisms holding the animatronic pieces back failed; severely injuring the suit's wearer. These suits are incredibly rare and it's insane that Fazbear Frights was able to get their hands on one of them as intact as it is.
I'm a massive fan of the Freddy Fazbear franchise. All tragic accidents and missing children aside, the characters are charming and the pizza is surprisingly not awful. I (of course) visited Fazbear's Fright the week it opened (click here to see my full, innocent, review of the place; it was surprisingly good ignoring the content of this post).
Anyway, SpringBonnie is by far the star attraction, you get to see it at the very end of the haunted maze and they really played this thing up; you get a full 360 view of it and while it doesn't move they've managed to make it feel like its watching you the whole way through the room. (they also pump some awful stench into the air so you can really tell that this thing has been sitting somewhere rotting for who knows how long)
The week after I visited, someone crossed that tape border they have circling the animatronic, and made a shocking discovery.
The SpringBonnie animatronic appeared to have human teeth hiding behind its animatronic smile.
Why would SpringBonnie have human teeth? No one was meant to see him this close, and, trust me, Fazbear's Fright doesn't have the budget to waste on details that will never be seen.
An investigation was launched after the photos were released and everyone went "hey! those are a little too realistic!"
So that's how they found a corpse inside the SpringBonnie animatronic.
But, the most interesting part, the part no one is talking about, is not what was in the suit, but who was inside the suit.
William Afton
Some of you may be too young to know who that is, allow me to introduce you
William Afton founded Fazbear Entertainment alongside co-founder Henry Emily. In the early days of the pizzeria, William and Henry would both wear the springlock suits; SpringBonnie and Fredbear respectively. It's a lesser known fact that William Afton was actually the victim of the springlock accident that saw the springlock suits that cause them to be discontinued (he survived but the few pictures of him showing bare arms show severe scarring that appears to extend beyond his sleeves and possibly to his chest)
Now, remember the missing children from earlier this post? What I failed to mention about them was they caught the guy behind the kidnappings.
It was William Afton
William Afton, wearing the SpringBonnie suit, took 5 children into the back room of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, an off camera location known only to the employees, and no one ever saw them again.
William was caught on the cameras outside of the break room, but he was never convicted because who could prove that it was William in the suit and not Henry or any other Fazbear Entertainment employee who had the training to handle the suits properly. Regardless no one believed William's innocence and he was forced to take a backseat in the company
Or so we thought anyway; William dropped off the face of the earth really, everyone assumed he'd gone into hiding to wait out the media storm that comes from being accused of kidnapping and possibly murdering 5 children from your own pizza restaurant.
Well.
We found him.

The Roci PCs as Mitski Songs
Dr. O'Yuna - Class of 2013
Mom, I'm tired Can I sleep in your house tonight? Mom, is it alright If I stay for a year or two? Mom, I'll be quiet It would be just to sleep at night And I'll leave once I figure out How to pay for my own life too
Mom, would you wash my back? This once, and then we can forget And I'll leave what I'm chasing For the other girls to pursue
Mom, am I still young? Can I dream for a few months more?
I mean, it's right there.
El-05-I23 (Eli) - Two Slow Dancers
Does it smell like a school gymnasium in here? It's funny how they're all the same It's funny how you always remember And we've both done it all a hundred times before It's funny how I still forgot
Nostalgia- remnants of what's now gone, memories forgotten to time, the mechanical rot that is Eli's existence.
It would be a hundred times easier If we were young again But as it is and it is We're just two slow dancers, last ones out We're two slow dancers, last ones out
And maybe she wouldn't be doomed- or well her and Estella wouldn't be doomed if they weren't stuck in the two person dance that is what they are.
And the ground has been slowly pulling us back down You see it on both our skin We get a few years, and then it wants us back
Maybe they were always going to die, maybe this forced fusion just gave them a few extra years before the end.
Estella Steele - Should've Been Me
Well, I went through my list of friends And found I had no one to tell Of this overwhelming clean feeling, strange serenity
Estella and the lack of people she knows on this stupid goddamn ship.
When I saw the girl looked just like me And it broke my heart The lengths you went to hold me To get to have me
:D What's Scott got there... a facsimile of the girl Estella is- was?
'Cause, I haven't given you what you need You wanted me but couldn't reach me So you went into your memory
All she is are memories afterall.
Relive all the ways you still want me I haven't given you what you need You wanted me but couldn't reach me I'm sorry it should've been me
She should have been her and not a robot and not Eli.
When I saw the girl looked just like me I thought, "Must be lonely loving someone" Tryna to find their way out of a maze Oh, I know
Must be lonely, loving the memory of a girl whose slowly fading
Fordo Banner - A Pearl
You're growing tired of me You love me so hard and I still can't sleep You're growing tired of me And all the things I don't talk about
Maybe not love, but concern perhaps on part of the ship. What are you hiding, Banner?
Sorry, I don't want your touch It's not that I don't want you Sorry, I can't take your touch
The literal wall he's placed between his emotions and his actions.
It's just that I fell in love with a war Nobody told me it ended And it left a pearl in my head And I roll it around every night Just to watch it glow Every night, baby, that's where I go
A pearl of... something in his head. Formed from the grit of war, it haunts his dreams, doesn't it?
Herkas Stilldew - Everyone
Everyone, all of them Everyone said, "don't go that way" So, of course, to that I said "I think I'll go that way"
Where he diverged from the rest of his elven army.
And I left the door open to the dark I said, "come in, come in, whatever you are" But it didn't want me yet
Death took the rest of them, but not him, not yet.
Then, like a babe in a crib After some big hand turned out the light
And I opened my arms wide to the dark I said, "take it all, whatever you want" I didn't know that I was young I didn't know what it would take I didn't know what it would take
Then he was picked up by the corporation and they seemed like his only hope, but now they own him.
Sometimes, I think I am free Until I find I'm back in line again
Wasn't he better off than most elves? Dead or destitute, but what do they mean "Cadia Lives"
Jack - Blue Light
Somebody kiss me, I'm going crazy I'm walking 'round the house naked silver in the night
Insane loser
Out there, I'm a sharp knife
Outside this crew, this company, he is the Galactic Threat
Are you that blue light? Are you that blue light? Are you that blue light? Are you?
mmm repetitive sounds go brr.
John Yaeger - Dan the Dancer
Dan had very long limbs From leaning day to day Hanging onto a cliff That stretched him every day
Hanging onto the cliff- working day by day by day by day by-
And when she'd asked to hold hands He would smile and Let one of his hands go His whole life in one hand His whole life
His daughter, his whole life...
And when he'd say goodnight and Leave her doorstep He'd use his last strength To wave back And once back in his room Once back in his room He'd return his waving hand Back to its cliff
To wave goodbye to her with a smile- reassurance that he'd come back... when will he come back. How long will it take to see her again?
He liked her more than life itself I'm sure
'Cause Dan had never danced Outside of his room When no one was home And he would stop to hear the door So when he moved with you And felt his body let go Of course, you couldn't know It was you and you alone That he had shown his bedroom dancer to
Her and her alone who he showed his happy side too, his will to live to, because isn't that her?
'Nomad' - When Memories Snow
When memories snow And cover up the driveway I shovel all those memories Clear the path to drive to the store
The freezing
And when memories melt I hear them in the drain pipe Drippin′ through the downspout As I lie awake in the dark
The defrosting, who are you now that you cannot report what you need
And if I break, could I go on break? Be back in my room, writin' speeches in my head Listenin′ to the thousand hands that clap for me in the dark
What was this all for in the end? What project? What mission? The thousand hands of science that clapped when you could not hear, lost to the dark.

I just went to a haunted house with my family and would like to share some of the best parts as someone who doesn't get scared easily:
While we were waiting in line, a skeleton lady in a red dress came up to us. My brother held me up to her and I stood there while she pretended to cut my neck with a fake knife. Amazing experience btw it was hilarious
Also in line, a girl in a white dress with black ooze coming out of her mouth came up to my sister. She was terrified out of her mind and the performer kept sticking her tongue. We laughed at the way my sister cowered in fear
There were multiple times where a man with a bag over his head chased us with a chainsaw. I was completely out of breath but it was totally awesome nonetheless.
We got photos with a clown statue! It was very cutesy 🎀
I had a very wholesome interaction with a Staff member who had really short blonde hair and super cute glasses. I complimented her hair and she said "awww, thank you! I love your hair!" and that made me feel nice so I just thought I'd share
In the actual house, there was a room that was like the freezers filled with meat—like the ones that have the cow's carcasses hanging from the ceiling right? I forgot what it's called but you get the point. Looked awesome
On multiple occasions did performers pop up out of nowhere, or stand still for a few seconds so we thought it was a statue and then chase after us. It felt oddly nice to see their faces through their masks when I did not react
There were lots of rooms that had creaky bridges, as well as one of those rooms with a bridge that has moving walls all around it so you think you're spinning. Very fun!
Some robotic things that looked like dead, bloody, naked grandmas with strobe lights kept popping out of the walls and at one point I just said, "you really need to work on getting a good skincare routine."
Before you go in there's a family photo place and so we took ours and then got in line. I proceeded to yell at a few teenage girls taking their photos, "BADDIESSSS! POSE FOR ME; ASS FAT SLIM THICK NO TUMMY" and we had a laugh
My sister told one of the performers that his mask was "cute! that makes you look sexy" as a joke and he proceeded to follow her around
I asked a performer if he liked pineapple on pizza and he just shook his head no. My brother shouted "right answer!" and I shouted "WRONG" at the same time and then we just gave each other a really judgemental look
On multiple occasions did I ask performers if I could get their snap, or friend them on roblox. (As a joke, of course.) They all looked at me weird and moved on.
There was a room with a phone that kept ringing and my brother and I both said, in sync, "hullo? hullo hullo?" like Phone Guy from FNaF. T'was quite amusing
There was a room that was supposed to be a run down Chinese restaurant with a distorted audio of someone calling out order number. I proceeded to order egg rolls and I could've SWORN the audio responded to me like "5 egg rolls? Will that be all? Okay that'll be 5.99 at the first window thank you ma'am"
The room right after that had a girl pop out and just continuously scream at us as she writhed on a table. My brother used a British accent and curled up his mustache to be all like, "screaming child! Oh, dear me, where have your parents run off to?"
There was a mirror maze like the Funhouse in It: Chapter Two and I got completely lost 💀
There were also lots of times where I didn't react to the scares that I just complimented the performer's makeup or masks. They mostly responded by doing a sinister laugh or screaming at me, but there was one time a performer looked appreciative for a moment but then looked at me like "oh shit I just broke character"
There was some random photo of Joseph Smith hung on the wall and as a (non-active) member of the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints I personally thought that was hilarious
Overall, it was a 10/10 experience and I'd totally go back with my friends or something. I loved hearing little kids scream bloody murder. It's called "13th Floor Haunted House" for anyone who wants to go, and you have to be at least thirteen to enter

Lloyd: You're my dirty, sweet pumpkin. You like when I call you that, huh? Like being my pumpkin? Do you know what good pumpkins have? Lots of seeds...
Tumblr media
uhm… it’s summer but what about Halloween with the moustache daddy 🎃
𝗣𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 | Lloyd Hansen x reader
𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 | Halloween costumes, SMUT - minors DNI, daddy kink, smidge of size kink, dirty talk, breeding kink, grinding, exhibitionism - almost caught, pussy slapping
𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆 | You go to a Halloween carnival with your boyfriend.
𝗪/𝗖 | 731
𝗔/𝗡 | I AM SO FERAL FOR THIS MAN
Tumblr media
It’s so dark, you can barely see your own feet, but with the strobe lights, you can faintly make out the man a few inches before you. He’s wearing that sickening smile with a mischievous glimmer in his eyes, “What do you say to a little fooling around, sunshine?”
His hand trails up your bare thigh, hiking up your white skirt. “Lloyd—not here.” You whisper, anxiously fixing your headband with those fuzzy brown ears.
The door at the end of the hallway opens and in walks a group of men, all dressed in their own costumes for the festive day. They’re clinging to each other, shouting and laughing at the giant mechanical spiders and robotic zombie hands poking out through the walls.
You fear they’ll notice you—see the girl trapped by a tall man dressed as a cop. For the most part, his costume is convincing, especially with his moustache. The little plastic badge is pinned on the navy uniform that clings to his built shoulders and arms like a second skin. Even the belt is packed with several pouches and a shiny gun tucked into the holster.
He never told you if it was real, but you had your suspicions.
Lloyd watches them go by, hat tilted over his dark eyes. You jump at a particularly loud thump, the speakers blast scary music and terrible high-pitched screams.
Now, this is when they’ll spot you, when the lights are the brightest as they reach the huge ghostly painting a few doors down.
But no, they’re too busy freaking out about the jumpscare clown at the end of the hall. As the group enters the next section, the door falls shut and muffles their screams.
That leaves you shoved into the crook of a doorway, flimsy skirt flipped up and exposing your panties—including that wet spot too.
“C’mon, don’t you wanna be stuffed like a real teddy bear?” Lloyd hooks your leg over his hip, forcing you to lean against the closed door. He reaches down, rubbing over your cotton underwear with his thick fingers. “Don’t you want to be daddy’s good girl?”
As your hips move on their own, your hands scramble for purchase on his broad shoulders. You moan softly, lips puckered in a pout, “y-you didn’t want to fuck me before we left, that’s your fault if you want to now—” in a damn haunted house.
He moves one of your hands to his growing bulge and cocks a moustached grin, “I think that attitude just got you some jail time, sweetheart.” He leans close, his volume is loud enough for you to hear over the haunting piano keys, “you know these handcuffs are real? They’re meant for really bad people,” like himself. “And little girls with big mouths like you. I hope you know when you get these on, they aren’t coming off until you’re begging.”
Lloyd takes great pride in your whimpers and the way your bottom lip trembles as your fingers hook into his belt, tugging him closer. He pulls your panties to the side, and feeds off of the pleasure on your face as he grinds against you, slowly rubbing your bare pussy with his clothed cock.
“Or maybe I’ll go easy on you, maybe I’ll fuck you in the corn maze or the pumpkin patch.” He gropes your ass, lips ghosting your neck as he inhales your perfume. “Fill my pretty pumpkin to the brim, stuff my little teddy bear until you can’t take it anymore. Maybe you can finally make me a real daddy.”
At that, you whine loudly, yanking him forward with your leg around his waist and grinding desperately against the air. All too many times he’s pulled out, spurting his cum on your face, belly, back or ass, sometimes on your cunt before he licked you clean. You quickly nod, pleading, “Want to make you a daddy, l-let me have your babies, ah!” You’re caught off guard as he spanks your pussy in quick succession, his pinky ring cold against your heat, “Please, please—”
“Hush now, you’ll get us caught.” He looks down, it’s still significantly dark in the hallway but he can see the wetness coating your folds, and his mouth waters. “You're my dirty, sweet pumpkin. You like when I call you that, huh? Like being my pumpkin? Do you know what good pumpkins have? Lots of seeds...”

its easter but i dont care! i like to imagine halloween is celebrated in various parts of the common wealth. how would the companions celebrate it with sole? once they have some down time of course. by the way i like to imagine piper, nat and sole host and act in a haunted house attraction or something, what do you think?
I'm putting this in a modern AU so I can go wild, because I had two very specific ideas in mind that I needed realized. a candy for whoever correctly guesses which two im referring to 🍬
Companions and Halloween
Cait; Fucking loves scary movies. Will call all her willing buddies over for bloody marys and whatever shitty takeout they desire, and binges shlock films she finds on obscure horror fan forums. This sometimes backfires and they find a 2003 indie psychological thriller that ends up being too much to handle. When Halloween actually comes, goes to festivals, carnivals, etc... It's the one holiday she actually likes. Dresses up as iconic 'final girls' and gets annoyed when people don't recognize it. Went as Lady Grognak once and got a bunch of girls' numbers.
Codsworth; You bet your ass he's making the best homemade candy in the CITY. This is his Olympics, his Chomolungma/Sagarmatha (commonly known as Everest), his very own Great British Bake Off. Decorates the lawn and sets up picnic tables, has food and drink available. Preston helps him run the shebang with Sturges, Sole, and sometimes Deacon. Will dress up simply and cutely, depending on if he's a person or still a robot. If a person, his costumes are from cartoons, like Steve from Blue's Clues. If a robot, will become a floating pumpkin.
Curie; Her friend group has banded together to keep her from handing out fruit to kids. She only sometimes obliges. Will opt for healthier options, still. Sometimes goes to Codsworth's block party,, if she isn't too tired. Curie herself really isn't into the aesthetic of Halloween, but she likes the fun. She just doesn't like the color schemes. Curie doesn't have time to get a costume, so she just wears her doctor's garb when answering the door. To celebrate for herself, will make pumpkin pies, PSLs, and watch cozy kids spooky movies. Calls or texts Danse to make sure he's okay, as she knows the holiday is a source of stress ever since the...incident...
Dogmeat; local children trained him to run up to porches, snatch the unattended candy bowls, and run
Danse; Counts down to the day like the nukes are gonna drop. Curie once confirmed that the mere mention of the holiday raises his blood pressure. His brain just...can't do it. The thought of someone knocking on his door makes him nauseous. Dressing up...he's too uptight, he'll admit. Pranks always suck, regardless. Not even as a kid did he like Halloween. Hancock and Sole dragged him to a haunted house once and, uh...yeah. Don't take your easily-overwhelmed friend with PTSD to a series of dark corridors with flashing lights, loud, sudden sounds, and people jumping out. Danse takes a week off work, gets in his truck, and camps in the wilderness until society is safe to return to.
Deacon; BEST. HOLIDAY. EVER. Deacon plans all year for it. Every day of October has its own costume. He LOVES volunteering at haunted houses or festivals. It's just such a fun time, man! Gorges himself on PSLs to be 'ironic'. Carries massive candy bars for anyone who recognizes his increasingly obscure costumes. Deacon lives and breathes the spooky. Decorates his house with a new theme each year. Once commissioned a giant model spaceship 'wreck' on his roof and had alien corpses spread across the lawn. Would enter any costume competition he could fit in the schedule, if he wasn't banned.
Gage; He likes Halloween for one reason, and one reason only. When he was a young boy, he hit a growth spurt overnight, way ahead of his peers. So, before Halloween, a local farmer, hosting a corn maze, offered him a job in the maze as a slasher. Maybe it was destiny, or maybe that job helped Gage who he is. But to this day, even if he isn't as spry, Gage finds a haunted maze, and sends them his Chasing People Through Fields resume. There is no greater joy, to him, than hiding around a corner, hearing those poor, poor teenagers whine it'll be cheesy, this is lame, it's so fake...before he goes a'huntin'. It's exercise, it's therapeutic, and it makes for good conversation.
Hancock; His house naturally looks spooky, so he never has to decorate. Very pleased with this. Joins Cait for movie night with MacCready, Piper, Sole, and Preston, and always eats too much. Hancock spends a stupid amount of money on the good Halloween candy, and is part of the "Curie, Fuck Your Apples" gang. Will hide in her bushes and hand out the good shit to children if Piper can't talk her down to at least fruit gummies. Once, trying to be a friend, got Danse out of the dingy, dark hole he calls home, and into Pickman's Gallery, an annual haunted house. Thought it'd be fun, spontaneous, help him live a little.
Hancock didn't know folding chairs could...bend...
MacCready; Matches his costume to Duncan. Attends Cait's movie night. Once had a Parental Panic Attack at a movie involving babies in danger and now Preston has to screen everything to make sure its clear of child murder. MacCready himself goes hogwild with the candy. Makes pumpkin-shaped, pumpkin-flavored food. Takes Duncan to the festivals and carnivals, really wants him to not end up like Uncle Danse, who handled active warzones better. Mac tends to buy what he can afford, which means the cheaper, variety bags of hard candy. At least it isn't apples, Curie.
Nick; As a theater kid and bisexual, Halloween is like his second birthday, behind Valentines day (which isn't his actual birthday either). His costumes are tasteful, inspired, thematically appropriate. His favorite is the classic vampire, with a long, flowing cape, a high collar, and lots of shiny buttons. Carries a giant sack of candy and toys, wanders through the neighborhood, helps lost kids and keeps an eye out for unsavory types. Always ends up having to chase Dogmeat down after he swipes a candy bowl.
Piper; Saves up all the money she can to spare on the after-Halloween candy. Really into campfire smores with ghost stories. Also joins Hancock for haunted houses. Once, on accident, went into Gage's corn maze and recognized him by his build. Hid from him by staying on the blind side. Texted him videos of him charging past her after other maze-goers. Received a "🖕". Piper doesn't go all out on the odd occasion she dresses up. Tends to use clothes she already has. Is the spokesperson for the Fuck Apples gang, tries to talk Curie into something less...shit, each year. Doesn't hand out candy, takes Nat out trick-or-treating. Ends the night at Codsworth's, nothing like a hot dinner after a cool evening walk through the neighborhood.
Preston; Tired mom friend. Goes out into the woods looking for Danse when he doesn't answer his phone, makes sure he rejoins society, doesn't go off the grid. DD after movie night at Cait's. Wasn't into Halloween as a kid, but he participates as an adult to spite people who think adults can't celebrate it. Preston helps Codsworth handle his block party, and buys toys and such for kids with dietary restrictions. Dresses as either a cowboy or a revolutionary soldier. Went as a green toy soldier once and is still finding paint smears in his house. Sturges did warn him.
X6-88; Conflicted on Halloween. On one hand, childish. On the other...full of potential, possibilities, opportunities. He likes the chance to legally frighten people and have it be socially acceptable; he does not like people knocking on his door. He doesn't like pranks, but enjoys the theming and aesthetics. He dislikes the costumes, but people don't bother him dressing the way he does naturally (spooky and Terminator-esque). Eventually, settles into taking simple pleasure from it. He doesn't do much to celebrate himself, though. Not on the 31st, at least. No, no, no.
The real holiday is November 1st.
November 1st is a professional sport, as for as X6-88 is concerned.

🎃🦇📼 Halloween 1982 was an exciting year for Fazbear Entertainment 📼🦇🎃
The three Afton children went trick or treating with Henry Emily’s daughter, Charlie, something Michael was upset over. He was required to look after Evan for the evening, and would meet up with his friends and eventually ditch Evan in the process.
At Fredbears Family Diner, Henry and William set up a Halloween party with Fredbear and Spring Bonnie set to play the latest Halloween hits.  At Henry Emily’s farm, he set up the first ever “Fallfest”, with events like a corn maze and pumpkin patch. William had initially made an attraction for the event, “Dreadbear”, which was meant to be a robot the kids could attempt to reanimate. He used roadkill to make the animatronic parts, and everything kept falling apart, forcing William to hide Dreadbear in the barn and close it for the night.
The TV show Fredbear and Friends ran it’s first ever Halloween special, involving the titular characters Grim Foxy and Dreadbear, exploring a house haunted by Jack O’ Chica and Jack O’ Bonnie. Fazbear entertainment made several Halloween items, including candy buckets, masks (which Michael stole for him and his friends), and, of course, candy.   And later, Evan Afton would experience his first encounter with one of the “Nightmare” animatronics, based off Williams experiments with illusion discs and Evan’s current emotions towards his older brother. The incident would result in Evan panicking and ripping the head off his foxy plush to make the nightmare go away.
