#Redacted Rambles

[escapisttt]

why yall paint darlin as some perfect vigilante hero who can do no wrong. it annoys the fuck out of me when yall are like “david was way too harsh with them about quinn and making them air out all their dirty laundry in front of the pack was cruel.” first of all no it wasn’t yall have just apparently never gotten in trouble before lmfao and second of all…. so what? they can suck it the fuck up because as david correctly said, quinn was posing a threat to the pack which included UNEMPOWERED MATES, the elderly members, children, and yk just those who wouldn’t be prepared for a fucking vampire to jump and kill them out of nowhere. darlin was 100% in the wrong about keeping that shit a secret and david was rightfully upset with them, he wasn’t even being mean about it he was just being upfront. that doesn’t make darlin a bad person, just one with tunnel vision and short-sightedness and david had to rein them in. accept the fact that they did something objectively stupid, got rightfully called out for it, and move on. “they must’ve been so humiliated” okay and good. yall value someone’s feelings over peoples lives?? grow up LMFAO im not even a darlin hater it just annoys me when people try to defend what they did like it wasn’t actively putting everyone in danger because awwww their wittle feelings got hurt🥺🥺

thinking about treasure hours

thinking about treasure collapsing on the kitchen floor after porter left, clutching their knees and gasping for breath, chest heaving with dry sobs

thinking about treasure convinced that they’d just thrown away the one good thing they’d ever been able to call their own because they care too much, they care too deeply

thinking about treasure picking at their nails until their fingers are bleeding, watching with a numb detachment, feeling porter’s teeth in their neck, porter’s blood on their tongue after they bit down too hard on his lip

thinking about treasure being silent for days, too scared to open their mouth because they’re cursed to ruin things with every word that spills out, even when they just want to help

thinking about treasure wondering whether he’ll ever come back or if he’ll just disappear like everyone else did when they got sick of their anxieties, their insecurities, their need to fix everything around them in hopes it might heal them too

thinking about treasure rehearsing what they might say if he came knocking again, a thousand different apologies running rampant in their mind and not enough strength to utter a single word

thinking about treasure, certain that they’re the reason he’ll never trust again, never open up to anyone the way that he almost did with them

thinking about treasure wishing him the best, sure that they’ll never see him again but praying he’ll find the happiness he deserves, even if it won’t be with them

Sweetheart and Milo have drunkenly sang ‘Ain’t No Mountain High Enough’ at a smaller pack get together and absolutely everyone was cheering, even David and Tank.

[dahliasunset26]

watching angsty darlin' posts in my luteal phase was a mistake, I'm the "oh my god, my Shayla" audio right now 😭😭😭

[redactahoe]

Hiiiii….! Heeeey..! How y’all doin’ ..!

I know it’s been almost two months a minute and I apologize for that there’s been a lot going wrong in my personal life and I’ve been pretty burned out with arguing with cvs about Giving me my adhd meds but I got em so have some funfacts about my sweetheart oc and Milo

Here’s a wip for reference:

—————————————————————————

For reference my sweetheart oc is named Ilya ands a lovable asshole

He’s Sam’s little brother and totally thought that Sam was missing but still alive despite what everyone around him was telling him and part of the reason he became an investigator was so that he could at the very least find out what happened to his brother

Following the whole Sam and iyla being brothers that means that iyla is also freakishly tall and built like a Mac truck. Sam stands at around 6’7 and iyla is 6’9 and it pisses Sam off so bad when ppl mistake iyla for the older one of the twos even though iyla only has a little scruff on his face meanwhile Sam has a whole ass beard)

Despite the fact that iyla is a flaming homosexual for Milo and is deeply and almost obsessively in love with his mate, he still looks like an attractive straight guy or what Lucas (baabe) likes to say a ‘book tok girlies wet dream’ and this causes a lot of… workplace crushes. And while yes at the department that iyla works at majority of his coworkers know and have accepted his relationship with Milo (because 99% of the things iyla talks about is Milo and much he loves his mate) the still get the occasional rookie or incredibly persistent people who either don’t know or haven’t accepted. It’s ok though like I mentioned before(see first point) iyla is a bit of an asshole and has an arsenal of smarmy and sassy shutdowns and comebacks for the overly insistent ones.

Because of his job iyla has to dress pretty professionally so whenever he’s not working he takes every chance he gets to where his stupid little pj pants. You know those pjs that have like superhero’s or cartoon patterns on? Yeah, iyla loves them! He has a vast collection of them and they drive Milo crazy

Speaking of clothing as much as I want to lead you to believe that iyla and Milo are fashion icons, it’s not true. It’s all Milo and iyla truly and whole heartedly has no fashion sense at all. But what he does have is the amazing ability to pick up and match whatever frequency Milo is putting out so it gives the allusion that iyla also has a sense of fashion. But no he’s just really good at matching energy

Milo quite literally changed this man’s life. Ilya can’t take care of himself for shit and survived off of the bare minimum and coffee. And because of this he was pretty malnourished but would never tell anyone and would play off the light headedness, migraines and other symptoms of not taking care of one’s self off and most people wouldn’t push but Milo nore his mama aren’t most people. When Milo found out about iyla basically starving himself and then got the same ‘it’s fine, it’s not that bad, and you don’t got to worry’, Milo wasn’t having any of that. And took it Apon himself to make iyla lunch every single day and take said lunch to iyla every single day. Milo still does this to this day. And while at first iyla tried to convince Milo not to waste his time or resources on him, it was more like trying to convince a brick wall to move. And then Marie found out through Milo and took a step further by essentially forcing ilya to let her mothering him.

Bc of the whole Milo and Marie forcing iyla to take care of himself, he ends of becoming very soft and squishy, at first iyla tried to hide this new development from Milo in fear of Milo not liking his new body, but Milo had long noticed and is incredibly obsessed with the weight and how it looked on iyla and was actively holding back from jumping iylas bones. The only reason Milo didn’t drag that dumb mf into pound town was because he was still trying to considerate and respectful of iylas feeling. Let’s just say Milo ended up demolishing any insecurity in iyla that night >:]

Iyla and aggro are best buddies. Like aggro is the kind of cat that typically doesn’t like being carried but whenever iyla is around, little man is begging to be in his arms. If iyla ain’t holding him them aggro is either on his shoulders/head or following him around like a little shadow. Iyla is not allowed to close his office door or aggro will scream. Milo sometimes likes to joke that he’s the third wheel here which is then responded with lots of love and affection from iyla because Milo will always be his number one priority(aggro comes in at a close second though)

Much like his brother iyla has an accent but it’s ever so slightly lighter and sounds closer to a Cajun accent rather than a country accent but that still doesn’t stop his friends from also calling him a cowboy. But unlike Sam, iyla fully accepts this title and even plays into it\

A lot of people expect him to a cold jaded investigator who expresses a lot of emotion, he is anything but that. He’s a comedic jackass (think Pete Davidson, Deadpool, ) who has no filter. And while most of the time he’s able to keep it tame, he’s still very reactive and does not think before he speaks most of the time.

The first time he met colm(at work because colm knows no boundaries) he was holding back so much snark and was trying so hard to be respectful bc colm is still Milo’s dad and whole he may not have sway on Milo’s opinion he definitely could still affect Marie’s opinions of him. But that all when out the fucking window when colm made an off handed comment about Milo’s sexuality and iyla on reflex called him a cunt and drunkard, proceeded to flip colm off and walk away. Milo found this hilarious though, and could not stop talking about it for weeks. And while colm tried to cry about the ‘no good stealth punk’ to Marie, she told his ass that he should have listened at left iyla alone

Iyla has a bit of a temper and a smoking habit. But don’t worry iyla has gotten amazing control of his temper and he’s been trying to quit smoking since he met Milo. And even when iyla is angry it’s just a lot of comedic yelling and cussing. Not aimed at anyone in particular (usually) it’s just a lot of iyla yelling increasingly creative curses

Iyla working and iyla not working are two very different people. Iyla despite his jokey laid backness. Takes his job very seriously and Coworkers that aren’t close to him kinda don’t believe iyla can genuinely laugh and he has something that Asher likes to call his ‘lieutenant voice’ where it’s essentially iyla speaking in a kinda scary and demanding tone which is usually used when a fellow officer/investigator fucks up, is being dumb, or god forbid being discriminating against anyone, especially iylas family.

Milo thinks the lieutenant voice is very sexy, David of all people is a little scared of it(but he would never admit it out loud), sam is also a little intimidated by it but he will openly admit that he didn’t think his little bro could be that scary, Asher, Angelo, Casey and the rest thinks it’s kind of funny how easy it is for iyla to switch into lieutenant mode

Despite the vast height difference between Milo and iyla, iyla very rarely makes jokes about Milo’s size. He is very aware on how these jokes make Milo feel and he almost knocked Chrissy’s lights out for making a pipsqueak joke about Milo behind his back. But on the other hand he will call Sam every short related nickname under the fucking sun.

On a more serious note iyla is incredibly paranoid about his friends and family’s safety and took it very hard when Casey fell of the the face of the earth to hunt down Quinn. And while at first iyla was mad ad Casey that anger very quickly shifted on to Quinn after iyla decided to look into Quinn’s history and found out that he has had a pattern of targeting to black sheep’s and using that persons loved ones against him.

You don’t wrong iyla or anyone iyla cares about and get away with it. Iyla is a very vengeful person and believes that if you hurt someone for no good reason then you need to receive that hurt back tenfold. He has a long history of getting his lick back on people, and some range from incredibly funny and ironic to down right murderous

On a more lighter note, he’s super competitive and Milo and him playfully argue and banter all fucking day but it usually ends in some form of a steamy make out because their gross and in love

About a year ago, I had doubts that I was trans. “I can’t be trans,” I thought, “I heard trans women can have chest dysphoria and I don’t,” I say while ignoring the boobs that came with my fatness!

I’m serious btw, despite my body trying to drag me into manhood hell, at least I have my boobs!

[skunkox]

But two mfs kissing and one getting his sides tickled is a problem.

In the spirit of the official Redacted Demon Quiz coming out and, frankly, me seeing one too many posts about elation demons and the... bizarre ideas about where they'd try to feed, I'm putting forth a non-exhaustive list of places I think elation demons would flock to for food!

(In case it's not yet clear, hi, hello, I got assigned Elation Demon by the quiz /lh /pos)

As for the list, feel free to add even more fun ideas! Especially if you would also be an elation demon (Off the top of my head, I'm looking at you too @romirola @autisticempathydaemon and @ejunkiet)

Conventions of any kind

Exam events (stealing from my sous chef @androgynouspenguinexpert)

Weddings and similar anniversary events, romantic or otherwise

Baby showers

Graduation parties

Hell, *parties of any kind*

Surprise reunions

Amusement parks / Fairs / Carnivals

Arcades

Rock climbing sites (and other "adrenaline" based outdoorsy activities)

Sports games (watched at home or live/in-person)

Concerts and raves (suggested by the always lovely @angelicaether)

Also tagging Lucy Goosey ( @your-local-mom-whore ) cause I bet you have some fun additions too /pos

[idontdomath]

Sometimes I wonder, will redacted ever have an actual end? Like, obviously Erik will stop posting sooner or later, but will we have a finished plot? Is there en end? Can there be one?

That would be hard to do, considering how many characters there are, but it is possible. Just like how ivan's or geordi's playlist ended. Maybe some characters would have a happy ending while others broke up with their listeners. Or maybe some will die....Anything could happen really.

But then again, it could just be a discontinued story, left to our imagination.

Just a thought 🤷‍♀️

[candelett]

inversion spoilers!!! u have been warned

i think it's so crazy that we (or atleast i) gloss over the traumas the characters have gone through during and after the inversion

like lovely got kidnapped, tortured, watched a man die, were introduced to a whole new world of magic, discovered they were empowered, joined a magical academy to get better at one of the only good things that came out of this experience, performed in the empowered olympics right before having all that stripped away from them and having a NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE?? NOT TO MENTION THEY PROBABLY HAD TO CUT OFF EVERYONE ELSE IN THEIR LIFE?????

not to mention MILO. this man litteraly was facing so much fucking survivors guilt, not knowing what the hell was going on with his literal family inside of the ward, ended up being placed in a trolley question situation where he chose to risk not only a massive part of his identity but also HIS LIFE? TO OPEN A WARD BECAUSE THE LITERAL GOVERNMENT WASNT DOING SHIT????? and then hes left feeling empty like a part of him was stripped away but he feels like can't even feel angry or frustrated because he saved hundreds of lives ?????? like he stopped the inversion and never got given ANY credit??? r u forreal????

not to mention the ocs that have stemmed of of that event for me..

inversion aftermath my beloved

[jeweled-fox]

No! No! No! No! NO!

Please don't make me do this... I don't even know where to start...

...

Fine

Um... hi?

I'm Vulpecula but you can just call me Vee.

Can I go home now? OW! Okay, jeez!

Uh... I'm a dancer for the dancing and performing arts troupe Ahnen...

... I like wearing clunky jewelry?

Um... that's it, goodbye.

[kashthefrogprin]

I thought about Sam and Darlin more and more (which is a usual) and now I have some things to talk about. Trigger warning for discussions of suicide. Stay safe, people. Much love 💜

What if Sam died with Darlin instead. I remembered the time I watched The Last of us Episode 3 and (SPOILER ALERT) both Bill and Frank died together because Frank decided that he was getting too old and that he was ready to kick the bucket. And Bill already felt so fulfilled with his life that he was gonna die with the love of his life. Then when Frank said he didn't support it, I remembered Bill said "this isn't some tragic suicide at the end of a play. I'm old. I'm satisfied. And you were my purpose.."

Which is I sure as hell know that Sam would say something like that with his old ass "I'm not a poet" type bullshit that gets me every time.

This thought got me cryin' istg/srs

No matter what happens, I just hope to god they won't separate/ break up because of this.

HC:

I know Babe and Angel are canonically unempowered, however I raise you..

Angel as a Fire Elemental

Babe is a witch, divination specifically

I want all of the listeners for the shaw pack to jump together in a fight against vamps, or closeknit, and have to protect their boys, badass cuties all the way.

[dahliasunset26]

Erik didn't gave me what I wanted, he gave me what I needed, because what do you mean flirty fool!Sam???? my pookieeeeeee

[redactahoe]

Angel didn’t freak tf out when David said he was a werewolf and didn’t prove it b/c they were a twilight fan or something NO

They didn’t flip their shit b/c they were already so in love with this man it’s not even funny. Angels dead ass thought “I am too in love and too willing to stick around for this bullshit.” But hey!

It paid off in them end for them ;)
