#Yeesh I really need to streamline that back-story section :P

[jack-o-chica-multiverse]

Since it’s been a while since I’ve posted this, here’s a little introduction and PSA for Jack-O’s blog:

🎃

Just to get this front-and-center, I want nothing to do with maps, LBGTQIA-phobes, transmeds, exclusionists, terfs, racists, and anyone who is even complacent with pedophilia or incest.  If you fall within any of those categories, don’t interact with my blog.  And hey, do yourself a solid and learn about why those leanings not only hurt you and the people around you, but society as a whole.   Hate and abuse are not welcome here.      

Also no shipping/romantic rp’s with Jack-O, please.  She’s got a lot of love in her charred little heart, but it’s all platonic.  And it’s going to stay that way.

🎃

Multi-fandom and OC friendly! Seriously, OC’s are amazing and I love having Jack-O meet them!    

Mostly long-ish form rp’s/replies.  I ramble a lot … in case you couldn’t tell from this post, heh.  Sorry.  I do try to tag longer threads with #long post once they take a couple swipes to scroll through.

I’m prone to fewer/slower replies, especially during weekdays.  Fyi, mun lives in the Pacific Time Zone, and is more likely to be active in the evening.

This blog can tread some pretty dark/angsty/violent/emotional ground and I’m fine with that … but I know not everyone is.  I try to tag the big triggers, but if there is ever anything anyone wants me to tag - no matter if it’s a trigger or squick or whatever - please let me know.

And since we’re here: please, if you feel like you need to unfollow for any reason, you do you boo!  That’s not just for subject matter but also because I’m an adult mun and I know that’s something that not everyone’s cool with. Your well-being will always be more important than following me - or anyone, for that matter! You are the curator of your Tumblr experience and if I can help you keep it safe by tagging or just not being part of it, that’s totally ok!

Jack-O: she/her. Was human and female-presenting back in ye olden days (aside from that – up to interpretation). Besides her murder she doesn’t really remember her life, but she does get the faintest sensations of déjà vu that call back to who she once was.  

Mun: she/her (but I’m comfortable with nb adjectives like they, too).  Ace panro and more-or-less cis (I think?).  Adult.  Absolute nerd with too many hobbies and never enough time.  RP-main is @Malady-red-rp (’Malady’), non-RP-main is @Inga-DON-Studio.

Jack-O is based on the non-canon Halloween-y version of Nightmare Chica from FNAF4: The Halloween Update with … a lot of creative license thrown in.

Basic backstory below if you want to read it (it’s sort of ramble-y - eventually I’ll try to simplify it but hopefully it does the job for now):

Essentially, she’s a several-hundred-year-old dream-demon (aka a Nightmare in her universe) who took the shape of her prey’s greatest terrors and fed on their fear via relentless, ongoing ‘hunts’ in the mindscape and in waking nightmares.  She would usually be freed from her chosen form once her prey’s mind was too shattered-apart from the constant assault to maintain a singular, cohesive personification of their fears, but on that last hunt … the situation never reached that conclusion. Thus, she’s stuck in the form that The Crying Child’s mind created for her before his death as a result of complications from The Bite of ’83 and his weakened state from the Nightmares’ attacks.  Some things went down with the other Halloween Nightmares that night, resulting in her complete abandonment of the hunt and what it was to be a Nightmare (the birb done woke).  Thirty years of coming to grips with all the evil she had done over the centuries and one hell of a massive guilt complex, she wants –more than anything- to try to put some good back into the world, even if she knows it will never balance out what she has taken from it.  

She awoke to October’s calling on Oct. 1st, 2018 to find herself in a multiverse of sorts- and just kind of rolled with it.   There were plenty of familiar faces – and many, many new ones – and she quickly embraced the chance at a new start, silently promising to try to stand up against the literal and metaphorical representations of what she once was.  As she made friends who have become the truest sense of a found family, she has become fiercely protective of the people she cares about … even if sometimes she’s a little lost on how to really help them.  Hey, just cuz she’s a few hundred years old doesn’t mean that there isn’t still plenty left for her to learn - and she knows it.

I do reference back to some past events (like Ink Stains) and she mentions other muses on occasion – some no longer active around here but remembered as cherished friends who left a lasting, important impact on her.  No, you’re not expected to know about them.  It’s just an important little part of who she is- that she doesn’t let go of things easily now that she has people and memories worth holding onto…

(The Ink Stains event was a biggie because she was one of the corrupted, and for the first time it forced her unwillingly back into something like the Nightmare she once was.  It also cemented in her mind how important the people in her afterlife are to her, and how much she needs them.  So, mentions of ink and corruption still find their way into conversations fairly often.)
