an: here's baji's version!! actually, this one was supposed to come AFTER suguru's but... erm... hehe. it also was supposed to be spookier, but i am nothing but a big ole softy for my loverboy. ): happy halloween! i wanted to post it on his birfday, but i think this is more fitting! could've been longer but i just wanted to get something out LOL. thanks to nie for letting me ramble about this lil fic!!

life is such a finicky thing. and sometimes, the time ticks by too slowly for your liking until it’s suddenly too fast, too short, too soon.

you’ve been to this grave a hundred - no maybe thousands of times, over the years. and yet, like the snowfall, your tears slip down your cheeks, hugging the warmth of your body, til they fall onto the ground disappearing into the asphalt. 

chifuyu matsuno thinks one day, he’ll beat you to it. one day he’ll be the one who arrives first, turning around with a smile and holding a bag of peyoung yakisoba. it’ll be his eyes rimmed red with hands trembling so hard that he’s sure they’ll snap. but you are always here first, almost every day for the past god knows how many years. 

every aspect of the word “first”, is what keisuke baji had embodied. first division captain, first born son, and your first love. he was rowdy, rough, sometimes a little insensitive, but at the end of it all, he was loyal. he was yours. 

“if i’m yours, then you’re mine.” he grinned, toothy, vibrant and all encompassing. his hands held yours like they were the world, and maybe, in a sense, they were. but even the world cannot last forever, the stars themselves bursting at the seams when their time has come. 

“they’re so pretty.” you told him, leaning against his shoulder, pointing up with your index finger. “don’tcha think?” 

“they’re alright,” he mumbled, but he kept his eyes upward, staring at the same stars as you. “i'd rather look at you.” 

“you’re so fucking cheesy.” you laughed, before pressing a chaste kiss to his cheek. 

when stars die, they leave a beautiful supernova, an explosion of color across the galaxy, painting the universe in rich hues of color. but when baji died, you thought it was so fucking ugly. you remember throwing up the first night, your own shitty constellation within the porcelain of your toilet. 

then the world started to dim, like the world was dipped in muted shades when there used to be so much vibrance. the sun was no longer as bright and you no longer sought comfort under the moon, hiding away from even her blue light. 

if there is solace in one thing, it’s that baji was a really good liar. sure, he was different that day and sometimes had trouble looking at you, but there was nothing to suspect that he would decide to plunge in that knife and bleed out on the ground of that god forsaken junkyard. 

“i’m scared you’ll go away,” you told him one night, so desperately wishing now that you would’ve noticed the way he tensed ever so slightly. “like, one day, i’ll wake up and you’re not there anymore.” 

you remember how he leaned in, nose brushing against yours before pulling back slightly. “and where would i go that doesn’t have you in it?” he grinned, another bright fanged smile that eased every single worry out of your brain. and you decided in that moment, that keisuke was always going to be the one that held your heart in his hands. 

“marry me one day.” you replied and he laughed, before holding up his pinky to yours. “good. saying no wasn’t an option.” 

“figured.” 

but today is not a day to be caught in memories as the sun plummets below the horizon, as the sky shifts from a pretty magenta pink to inky black. feet bouncing off the pavement, you scurry over to his grave. you chastise yourself for being late today of all days, it was his birthday. 

“sorry!” you call out as you finally make it, hands on your knees as you suck precious air back into your lungs. “sorry i’m late, kei.” 

you do the usual of pouring water onto the tombstone, before you light a candle and spread the blanket beneath you, sitting cross-legged as you pull out the contents of your bag. “i got a little something extra today,” you say, eagerly pulling out the sealed little slice of cake you got at the bakery. “okay… so it looks a little fucked, but don’t mind that.” you giggle, before sighing.

“if you were here… what would you say?” you mumble to yourself, before putting on your best keisuke voice. “hah? it’s still edible isn’t it?... or something.” you nod as if in response to him, before tearing it open and setting it down. “chifuyu saw you earlier right? did he bring you something good? oh! and, i was looking at some of the cats at the pet shop earlier, they’re no peke j but, they’re still cute, y’know?” 

you always do this. you ramble and ramble, relaying your day to him as if he’s listening intently to you. sometimes, you’ll imagine when the two of you sat in his room, his lips quirked up into a smile as he nodded and listened to you. 

“the cake is good!” you exclaim, taking a bite. it’s fluffy, creamy, and sweet, it almost masks the saltiness of your tears that seep past your lips, onto your tongue and settle on your buds. 

almost.

“fuck- sorry. sorry for crying.” you use one hand to wipe away at your tears, the other holding onto your convenient plastic fork. it’s harder to breathe now, sobs wracking your body as your mind floods with “what ifs” once again. what if you had asked him to stay with you that day? what if you tried harder? what if you had noticed something was wrong sooner? could you have done anything? and what if-

lost in your thoughts you almost miss the familiar drawl that used to set your heart and soul on fire. “still a crybaby, eh?” 

you freeze, the fall breeze caressing your cheek as you sniffle and ever so slowly, turn. you must have been hearing things, you think, as there’s nothing there but the other stone graves and the leaves on the wind. 

“maybe i am losing my fucking mind...” you mutter, taking a deep breath to calm yourself, “i should look into therapy.” 

you shake your head, a little spooked. it’s getting later by the moment, the only light nearby being the candle, a warm-orange flame surrounded by night. you lean over to blow it out, but stop, feeling that you should stay a bit longer. not only are you late, but it’s keisuke’s day, it wouldn’t be right to leave so soon. you frown, before settling back in place. 

“anyways, what was i saying?” you hum, taking another scoop of your dessert. “something-“

“something about the new cats at chifuyu’s shop right?” that familiar voice sounds again, closer this time, tickling the shell of your ear. 

you immediately jerk around and almost pass out at what you see. crouched down and smiling, that familiar wolfy grin is keisuke, looking just like you remembered. from the way his long, inky hair frames his face to the vivid carmine of his eyes, it’s keisuke. 

“hey, continue the story baby, i was listening.” he gestures to the cake on your fork, slipping off the utensil from the shakiness of your hands. “lemme have a bite?” 

you’re snapped from your stupor when he finally touches you, cold fingers lightly guiding your hand upward towards his mouth. you immediately scramble back, the cake falling onto the blanket below. 

“kitten,” he says, frowning at the mess, “y’know i hate wasting food.” the pet name almost sends you into a spiral, the way it falls off his tongue so easily, just like he always used to say it, almost like it was your name at times. 

“you’re not real.” you whisper, shaking your head slightly, the words trapped behind the door of your brain unleashing in that moment. “i’m hallucinating. i have to be.” 

he inches towards you as you continue to crawl back, back hitting the cold gray stone. keisuke leans in, snuffing out the candle between his fingers first before redirecting his attention to you. he’s so close you’re sure he can feel your breath, but the odd thing is, you can’t feel his.

“if i wasn’t real…” he starts, inching in so close your noses just barely touch, just a hair widths away, “could i do this?” he kisses you then, just barely holding back his deep fervent need to snatch you up and take you home. wherever that was. 

it’s strange, baji’s cold, nearly ice, and yet you feel the familiar rush of warmth through your veins that once bloomed so deeply in your heart, that everything suddenly does feel real. the two of you stay like that for a few moments and when he pulls away you lean in again, snatching him by the collar to press another kiss to the lips that you missed so much. 

baji’s wolfish grin plays on his face in between the kisses you continue to plant against his lips and his skin, alternating between his cheeks and jawline. “yeah, yeah, i missed you too, you big crybaby.” he laughs, cupping your face to swipe at the tears that fall freely once again. 

you whine when he forces you to pull off, bringing your hands up to his, almost as if you’re sure he’ll run off again and be gone by morning. “you’re really keisuke? …this isn’t a joke?” you shake your head as you ask, hiccuping and trying your best to heave in gulps of air. 

“yeah, it’s me.” he answers, the crinkle of his eyes never leaving. 

but you just don’t get it. how is baji here and not well, six-feet under? almost as if he can read your mind he speaks, “i’m not really sure how it happened either.” he starts, releasing you and staring down at his palms, opening and closing them, almost as if he’s also in a daze. “i shouldn’t be here, i know that. i made sure i wouldn’t and yet, i woke up not too long after that day.” he lifts his shirt up and you wince in anticipation, but there’s nothing where the old stab wound should be, like it never happened. 

hesitantly, you place your hand flat against the area, before your fingertips trace the outline where it should be. you exhale deeply before speaking again, “how come you only showed up now?” 

he gives you a sheepish grin, rubbing the back of his neck, as the hem of his shirt falls back into place. “well… i had to sort of figure things out. dunno how well received i would’ve been if i just showed up after my own funeral.” he jokes, but you glare at him. 

“do you have any idea at all how badly that fucked me up?” you ask, remembering the countless nights you spent staring up at your bedroom walls so utterly exhausted from crying or the days you spend in a haze, trying your best to get through the day. you won’t lie, you’ve been so angry since that day. endlessly lonely, endlessly empty, and just when you thought you’d be able to get over it, he shows up like it wasn’t that big of a deal. 

“well, i watched you a lot.” he admits, gazing around the cemetery. “you come here every single day, you cry every single time, even when you say you’re not going to. you’ve cursed me out in death more times than i can count and i think you’ve tried every single type of peyoung soba. you, chifuyu, and kazutora have only come here together a handful of times and everytime one of you ends up drunk crying.” he snorts, before continuing, “you sleep with my hair ties under your pillow and almost had the balls to ask my mom for my toman jacket, multiple times.she would’ve said yeah, by the way. every evening you say goodnight to me and that you love me.” 

he grins when you sit there, mouth agape, and asks, “did i miss anythin’?” 

you shake your head, “but what now? i still don’t get why you came here today?” 

he shrugs, “i’ve got a question for ya.” but his expression is serious now, the shift in his features making you nervously fidget with your hands. but before you can look away, he tilts your head towards him, the other hand intertwining with yours, locking you in place. “you still wanna be with me forever?” 

your heart pounds in your chest, almost alarmingly so, as you gaze at him with lidded eyes while your voice is light, fluttering back up to him and relaying the answer he’s been waiting to hear. “of course, keisuke.”

“and you’d do anything? …let me do anything?” he questions further, squeezing when you nod your head. 

you’d let me turn you?

and you’re aware now, what it is he’s asking. and maybe, you think it’s because you centered so much of you life around him, that leaving it behind doesn’t sound too bad. if you were the clouds, then baji was the sky, always trying to stay in that space so intrinsically bound to one another that only death could have separated you. 

he never said the word, but he didn’t really need to. what was the one thing that could have escaped death like this?  what else was he but a vampire? 

“okay,” he sighs, “if you’re sure.”

“more than ever.” you state. 

keisuke is fast, picking you up and into his arms. naturally, you wrap yours around his neck, a part of you still thinking that this must be a dream. 

“well, there’s no way we’re gonna do it in some freakin’ cemetery.” he jokes and you giggle. if his heart could beat, he’s sure it’d flutter just as fast as yours. 

“hey are you gonna turn chifuyu?” you ask, blinking up at him, “or tora?” 

“you think they’d wanna hang out with us? for eternity?” he asks, picking up the pace as he walks.

“hmm, maybe you’re right. besides, takemichi’s gonna miss them too much right?” you continue, the breeze kissing your now dried cheeks. 

“don’t forget mikey.” he adds, before continuing, “well, it’s not like we can’t visit sometime.” 

you nod, placing your head on his shoulder, “not too soon though, we’ve got a lot of catching up to do.” 

he smiles at you as he answers, “don’t worry. we’ve got all the time in the world.” 

as the two of you leave, you peek back towards the lights of the city, becoming smaller and smaller with each step. and you wonder how upset chifuyu’ll be tomorrow when he finds your half-eaten cake, spread out on an already forgotten blanket.

Wait whose Mr. Tophat and Bill? I haven't seen em before?

What do they look like? :O

Mr. Tophat and Bill are some of the characters in my OC/crossover-universe thing which I've pretty much just nicknamed "Rénee's universe" (even though it takes place in a big city, but oh well, lol). I could ramble about that world and its characters for ages because there are TONS of stuff in that world and it's very dear to me, but I'll try keeping this kind of short, lol

Mr. Tophat: An intimidating massive dude, who works as sort of a henchman for a mobster boss (my own AU-version of Sykes actually, lmao, the Disney villain I mean). He's 7'1'' (217 cm), like... he's seriously tall and massive, also extremely strong. Strong to the point that he could literally break somebody's hand when giving a handshake, so he has to be careful in that. People are usually intimidated or terrified of him, due to his appearance and also his intimidation/extortion skills. However, he's a gentle guy to those whom he cares about and to whoever his boss trusts. Mr. Tophat gets his nickname from the fact that he's always wearing an old top hat. No matter what, he always has the hat on (except when all alone, of course); it's also a mood indicator pretty much, because if he takes it off in the middle of a fight/argument or such... yeah, you should definitely run, because that means that he really is gonna like break bones and such. Mr. Tophat isn't his real name, of course, but it's become a silly joke for me at this point that he never ever reveals his real name..... I know what it is, but I won't tell >:) He usually is just seen either trying to extort debt money from guys like Nerome, Bill etc; either that or he's just standing menacingly in his boss's office during any interviews, meetings etc.

Bill: Much like Mr. Tophat, he used to work for Sykes as well... but he got fired for literally being way too angry and argumentative, even towards his colleagues, lmao. Bill is basically defined simply by just one word: anger. This man is angry, oh boy, this man IS anger itself. The most grumpy foul-tempered man you’ll ever meet! Eternally pessimistic and just an annoying person to be around most of the times. Bill’s a rude loudmouth, who always wants to make his opinions heard loud and clear. In fact, he always wants to be loud and clear. Not afraid of anyone or anything, or whatever anyone’s gotta say. He is really argumentative and angry, he gets into fights super easily and usually for no good logical reasons either. It doesn’t even matter if he loses, he just won’t give up and he’s way too angry to even give up. He's quite a nuisance, though not to the same levels of destruction that Nerome then has. And despite being fired, he's a petty guy and keeps still showing up to his old workplace often, only to annoy everybody there or steal food from the workplace's canteen. He's also a massive strong dude, though definitely shorter than Mr. Tophat at around like 6 ft tall (182-183 cm) or so. That and he's also more scruffy and he stinks <3 He does have a softer side towards his very few rare friends though, of course; he just shows it rarely and in his own chaotic ways, lol

Old art here, but yeah lmao, them <333 The nasty dudes <3

[shima-draws]

Saw your tags and omg HARD AGREE. Dragon Cry is SO bad nfkanmdsa

ME AND YOU SHAKING HANDS

Actually yes thanks for giving me the excuse to rant. Hold on. I'm typing furiously rn.

-Okay first of all they gave us the most ridiculously confusing plot I've ever seen. The twist with Sonya being Animus was kinda cool but they never really. Explained why she had a bond with him? She mentioned he used to be kindhearted at some point but we never see that literally ever at any point in the movie?

-The storyline is so all over the place it's a HOT mess. Especially the scene right after Natsu escapes the weird bird cage thing he runs off to find the others and suddenly they're all there? For some reason? Where did they come from. Why didn't they have a little reuniting scene. I literally rewound the movie to make sure I didn't accidentally skip a scene but nope they just made the most awkward cut/story progression in history I guess!!!

-The fanservice was so. SO bad. Like yeah the majority of the time I can at least tolerate it but this time it just made me extremely uncomfortable. Why are Erza and Lucy's boobs SO fucking large. Why did they have to make Lucy dance in like two strips of cloth. I thought I woke up in an alternate universe where Fairy Tail was a hentai. I genuinely wanted to vomit lmao

-The animation style really threw me off like I can tell it was either animated by a different studio or they wanted to try a different art style for the movie? But it just felt wrong and the proportions and faces were weird and. Yeah idk.

-What was up with the Three Stars?? Iirc we never got to learn their names or what their motivations were they were literally just. There. And they were built up to be these super powerful wizards only to get their asses kicked by FT like two scenes later. I get that being a movie obviously the fights had to be shortened but they literally did the same thing in Phoenix Priestess but WAY better. They really were like yeah uh we need some enemies for Team Natsu to fight let's just go with these guys and not give them any personality or backstory or motivations. (Except for the doll dad he was okay I guess)

-WHY WAS LEVY THERE. LITERALLY. ACTUALLY. She literally did nothing she served NO purpose in the movie she was just there?? Did they just want to shove in as many cameos as possible??? I know generally Levy isn't much of a fighter which is fine, I was kinda expecting them to do a Gajevy scene where Gajeel rescues her from some soldiers or smth which would have been fine but they didn't even do that. She literally just stood there and had like 2 voice lines. GO GIRL GIVE US NOTHING

-SPEAKING OF CAMEOS this is more personal beef than anything but man WHYYY wasn't Loke in the movie,, my boy my beloved my stupid idiot lion I'm so mad he wasn't even onscreen for like, 5 seconds

-I'm sorry but Juvia was so unhinged this movie her possessive/stalker behavior over Gray was actually super fucking creepy lmao

-What did they do to Happy. What the FUCK did they do to Happy

THEY MASSACRED MY BOY. LOOK AT HIM. HE'S GOT ANXIETY

-ALSO the scene where Happy and Lucy were crying over Natsu and we got tons of flashbacks from his POV of people who are important to him? WHY THE FUCK WASN'T HAPPY THERE?? They literally showed everyone from Fairy Tail precious to Natsu except Happy and I'm just sitting here like. HELLO?? You are SO wrong for that

-I will say I DID enjoy the little Nalu teasers we got especially the scene where Natsu showed Lucy the stars 🤧

But yeah I was here for this and this only:

The Nalu + Happy family bonding moments made it OKAY

Anyway sorry rant over. Dragon Cry bad. Natsu's brief moment of looking half dragon was a super sexy character design choice but the buildup is not worth it imo

Ghost of You: Chapter 2

Ellie Miller & Joel Miller

ft. Tommy Miller, Lorenzo and Zach Aleverano

Summary: 16 years after her mom and dad's death, Ellie is finding her place in Jackson, being raised by her Uncle Tommy with the help of her uncle's Lorenzo and Zach. She loves them, but can't help but feel stifled. Soon, she finds out her suspicions were true, and her uncles have been lying to her. Will Ellie learn the truth? Can she trust anyone in this situation?

Takes place after The Wrong Way, but if you havn't read that series (too dark for you, too long, etc) you can read this. Since it's through Ellie's perspective, you can discover the truth alongside her.

DARK FIC! This is a dark!Joel, with canon typical violence and extra on the Joel. Anything discussed or shown in TWW is liable to be discussed here. There will be violence, but no shown sexual violence. Although this Joel is very dark, he is NOT DARK TO ELLIE. None of the things that happened to Ellie's mom are applicable to Ellie, but will be discussed.

Content warnings for entire series, not chapter by chapter unless more is added.

Talk/mentions/discussions of post rape, molestation, torture, violence, branding, forced breeding, major age gap (early 20's to later 40's), death. Child endangerment, major character death, murder, homophobic remarks, minor hate crime, manipulation, identity crisis.

Yeah I wrote two fics in this universe in one day what about it?

*******************

“Where you running off too? Dinner’s almost done.” Tommy called as Ellie tried to sneak out of the house. He was making diner, and it smelled fucking good as his food usually did. Uncle Lorenzo said Tommy used to never cook very well; Lorenzo had to eat a lot of it back in the day, and he much preferred her moms cooking or Zach’s, and Ellie asked if he cooked. Lorenzo dodged the question, saying that when Tommy took Ellie in, he learned how to cook from Zach… he learned how to do a lot of things, actually. June, Maura, Lorenzo, Zach, they all taught Tommy what he needed to know.  

“I’m going to Dina’s for the evening, gotta practice shooting.” Ellie replied, trying to not look at him. If she looked at Uncle Tommy, she’d feel bad and stay, and she did not want to stay.

“Honeybun, I told you you’re uncles are coming over for diner tonight, they miss you.”

“I saw them last week!” And Ellie’d been avoiding them since she found out they lied.

“Ellie, I think you should stay-”

She was out the door.

Tommy was a good dad, but if Ellie had been a worse behaved kid he wouldn’t have stood a chance.

It had been a week since Ellie met Joel- her dad- finding out he was actually alive and the whole story of her upbringing was a lie. The reason she had avoided her family all week. She hadn’t dared sneak out again, afraid of Joel, afraid of confronting everything she wanted to keep to herself.

It was Dina that told her too. It wasn’t that she actually told Dina what happened; she couldn’t, not yet… but Dina was someone whose opinion she trusted, someone she valued. Only telling her that she found out her family had been lying to her and she has the chance to find out the truth but it’s a little dangerous. Ellie told her as long as it wasn’t putting her in immediate danger and she stayed alert, to follow her gut.

Her gut led her here, midnight, same spot, just as Joel told her to do.

“Didn’t think I’d see you again.”

Ellie whipped around, jackknife in hand, prepared. “We didn’t really have a chance to confirm any plans.” She said, slightly sarcastic.

Joel huffed a laugh, but smiled. “I’m happy you’re here, Ellie June.”

Ellie narrowed her eyes at him. “Why do you always call me that?”

“Ellie June?” He asked, taking a careful step forward. It was clear he was trying not to spook her, but the look Joel had on his face was soft, not unlike the way Tommy looked at her… it put her at ease. “Well, that’s your name, isn’t it?”

She lowered her knife. “Well duh, but no one calls me that.”

His smile was wry. “Yeah, Ellie wasn’t exactly what I wanted to name you. I liked June though.”

It was strange, the way that just seemed to make so much sense. Tommy wasn’t supposed to be her dad. This wasn’t supposed to be her life. Ellie wasn’t supposed to be her name…

“What was it supposed to be?” Her voice sounded so small at that moment…

“Dorothy June” Joel replied, then laughed as Ellie scrunched up her face. “Yeah, okay, maybe Dorthy wasn’t the best, but in my defense, we were going to call you Dolly.”

“Then why am I named Ellie?”

“I bet you got a lot of questions, don’t you? Can we take a walk? We can stay close to town”

Ellie considered this. It seemed harmless, but Lorenzo was sure to warn her time and time again that men that seem harmless are often the most dangerous. Still, she felt drawn to him, she wanted to get to know her dad.

“Fine, but you try any shit, I’ll fuck’n shank ya.” Ellie held up the knife.

Seemingly distracted by the knife, for a moment he simply stared at it sadly.

“I don’t doubt you will.”

Whatever questions Ellie had, Joel had an answer.

“Why is my name Ellie if you wanted Dorothy?”

“Well, I wanted Dorothy. After your great-grandma, and your ma didn’t protest. She just wanted June, after your aunt of course. When Tommy found you, she told him she wanted to name you Ellie June, and we take deathbed wishes pretty seriously ‘round here.”

Something stuck as odd to her. “What do you mean when Tommy found me?”

He sighed, hesitating. “I didn’t really wanna talk about this today but… I suppose you’ve been lied to enough. Tommy and I weren’t talking back them. A few months after your mom joined us, I found out Tommy was going behind my back, telling my enemies my business. I kicked him out, and we didn’t talk since.” Joel sounded to sad, so genuinely hurt…

“Uncle Tommy did that?” Ellie questioned, it was so unlike Tommy… but she had learned that everything she know of her uncles, especially Tommy, was up in the air.

“Yeah. It was a real betrayal, I was so fucking angry with him. ‘Shamed to say I hurt him, it might have been worse if your mom didn’t step between us. Refused to move until I let Tommy go.”

Ellie should be shocked and upset that he admitted to hurting her father figure… but Joel seemed to understand the seriousness of his actions, he seemed sorry, and would Tommy, or Lorenzo, or Maria react the same way if someone had done something to threaten Jackson’s security? “She wasn’t scared?”

Joel smiled fondly at the memory of her mom. “No, she knew I would never hurt her.”

They talked for hours, questions and answers, slowly but surely she began to get a picture of the reality of her past, her origins, her family. It was obvious how Joel always tried to paint Tommy is a good light, despite the things Tommy had done… Joel still loved his brother. He asked how he was doing, if his trick knee that got him honorably discharged from the army was hurting him too bad, even asking about Lorenzo. By everything Ellie could tell, Joel cared about the ones she cared about, and cared about her. Around 3 AM, it was Joel that suggested she head home before it got too late.

“Nooo!” She whined; there was still so much more she wanted to know, so much she wanted to tell him… “You’ve been gone my whole life, why can’t we have another hour?”

The saddened look on his face made her regret her word choice, but still he shook his head. “Because I’ve been gone for 16 years, I think it’s only right I get to tell you to go to bed for once.” That sad smile again… “Ima gonna reach into my pocket, don’t stab me or noth’n” he winks playfully, and Ellie can’t help but chuckle just a bit. Joel pulled out two walkie talkies, handing one to Ellie. “I won’t call you, don’t wanna get  you in trouble, but you can call me up if you wanna meet up or someth’n. I don’t wanna be presumptuous or noth’n. Maybe you just wanna ask me a bunch of questions about your mom and then never talk to me again. And that’s fine.” His southern drawl was prominent, thick like Tommy’s gets whenever his emotions are high. “I’ll take whatever I can get. But maybe… maybe you wanna see me, see what I do or…” There’s that nervousness again, evident in the way he shuffled his feet; hand in his pockets and he kicked a rock. “Maybe you miss me. I dunno. But you can call me up. Anytime you need help or have a question. I’ll answer, every time.” He was so earnest in the way he looked at her, like he was desperate for anything…

Ellie tucked the walkie talkie in her coat pocket. “Any time?”

“Any time. Don’t matter.”

Ellie believed him.

That night as she snuck back into bed, Ellie laid down, examining the walkie talkie. She was pretty sure Lorenzo had the same kind… she’d have to make sure she wasn’t on their frequency, but she could also use their charger. Convenient for her. There was really no reason to trust the man she had seen tonight, but she couldn’t help it. Joel was her dad. Not Tommy. Tommy had taken her, Tommy had lied, Tommy continued to lie even as she grew older because he was selfish… She wanted her mom… A mother she never had the chance to meet, to know, only knew through stories her aunts and uncles told her and god, how many of those were even true? None the less, like a child, she wanted her parents. Ellie was hurt, she was lonely and felt the world around her falling apart. She wanted her dad. But instead of Tommy, instead of the man she knew she could wake up right now and he’d hold her, instead of the man she new she could crawl into the safety of his bed in the thunderstorms still scared her, instead of the man she called for just last month when she woke up puking on herself, she looked at her walkie talkie.

“Ellie June, everything alright?”

“Yeah… you said I could call you if I missed you, right?”

For a few weeks, Ellie and Joel continued to meet up, turn more and more into the day time. Dina covered for her a lot, but sometimes she told Joel she was out with Uncle Renzo when she knew he was working fields. Ellie always liked to accompany her uncle during farm work depending what they were doing. Renzo was a talker, so even if Ellie was feeling down or tired for one reason or another, he could carry the conversation. She liked listening to him talk. Right now, however, she was using him as a cover story and only felt a little bit bad about it. Joel continued to answer her questions, but they slowly began to just…. Be. Joel couldn’t spend all his time just talking, so he took her with him hunting or fishing. 

But the more time she spent with Joel, the more time she spent away from Tommy.  Ellie hadn’t sat down with him for a meal in a month, mostly eating with Joel, Dina, or the leftovers Tommy always left for her. She knew she was hurting him, but she didn’t care. He deserved it after everything he did to Joel.

It was well past dark when Ellie walked to her house again, annoyed to see Tommy strumming his guitar on the porch.

“You have fun with Lorenzo?” He asked, looking up and setting his instrument down. He always tried so hard to be present with her, to show he was listening, to not be distracted…

Ellie didn’t want to talk. “Yeah” She skipped up the stairs and tried to open the door, but it was locked.

“That’s funny, because he came home two hours ago and said you hadn’t been with him.”

Fuck.

“Well I was-”

“Actually, he tried to say you were with him, no doubt covering for you. Thing is, you should’ve just told him you needed him to lie, he would’ve.” Tommy crossed his arms over his chest, bundled up in that blue jean jacket of his. “Unfortunately, he stuttered one too many times. Where were you? With a boy?”

Ellie panicked. “Yes.”

Tommy groaned, scrubbing his face with his hands. “Elles, I told you, you’re old enough to have a boyfriend but you can’t be keeping it a secret and you can’t be dating alone, I don’t want you-”

“Yeah yeah yeah!” Her voice grew louder in frustration. “I’m a fucking child that needs to be swaddled at all goddamn times, okay, sure!” Ellie tried to open the door jiggling the handle, but it wouldn’t go.

“Elles, that’s not-”

 She took out her pocket knife, trying to pick the lock. “Or maybe I’m a whore and that’s why you feel the need to lock me up-”

“Ellie! Jesus, I would never call you-”

“GOD FUCKING DAMMIT!” The stupid door wouldn’t unlock, leaving a frustrated Ellie banging on the frame as she tried to unlock it. Why hadn’t uncle Lorenzo taught her this?

“Ellie! Can you just-” But as Tommy reached for her hand in an attempt to still her, he placed his hand on hers at the door handle.

She didn’t mean to. She really, really didn’t. It was just that he touched her hand, the hand holding the knife, and when she jumped back, startled.

“Fuck!” Tommy shouted, holding his bleeding hand. 

Zach and Lorenzo were at their side in second, having heard the shouting. 

“Ellie!” Lorenzo chastised, holding her shoulders and keeping her away from Tommy. Initially, her reaction had been to go to Tommy’s side, she wanted to see how badly he was hurt, tend to his hand, but Lorenzo had pulled her back. She watched in horror with herself as Uncle Zach took off his shirt and wrapped up the cut hand.

Though his teeth were gritted in pain, Tommy was quick to defend her. “It was an accident.”

She felt bad, she did… but if Tommy hadn’t locked her out, hadn’t tried to touch her, none of this would have happened. Ellie felt defensive of herself, the need to shift the blame away from her even though Tommy had absolved it. “You shouldn’t have locked me out!”

Zach threw a look over his shoulder. “Ellie, stop it.” 

She couldn’t stop. Ellie didn’t know why, maybe it was the anger of feeling betrayed by the man she loved so much, maybe it was the pent up frustration of feeling so stuffled, maybe it was all the goddamn hormones everyone around her won’t shut up about, but she was angry at Tommy. “I’m not a child! You don’t get to control me!”

“What is going on with you, Ellie?” Tommy asked through the pain. “You’re gone all hours of the day, you won’t talk to me, this boyfriend doing something to you?”

Ellie hears Lorenzo mutter ‘boyfriend’ confused, but Ellie ignored him. “You always do this! You think I’m not capable of making my own choices, it’s always someone else influencing me-”

Zach spoke over her, Tommy’s blood starting to soak through his shirt. “Ren, take her to our house.” He wouldn’t hear of Tommy’s protests. “You two can deal with this in the morning, but I'm never gonna stop this bleeding if you don’t get your heartrate down.”

Lorenzo practically dragged Ellie to the guest room in their house, instructing her to go to bed. Ellie had clothes, a toothbrush, pads, everything she might need at her uncles and before the revelation of everyone lying, she used to stay over sometimes. Ellie laid down after getting ready, images swirling in her head of Tommy bleeding. Had she really done that? It had been an accident, a result from moving the hand holding the knife too fast, never meant to do anything to him, but he scared her.

Since when did her uncle scare her? Why had she jumped like that? After what Joel had told him, about him being a raider, him taking her from Joel, betraying Joel… why was she so scared of Tommy who had never so much as raised his voice at her.

A knock.

“Who is it?”

“You’re favorite uncle”

A sigh. “Come in.”

Lorenzo leaned in the doorway, looking her over. His arms were crossed but not in the upset way Tommy’s had been. “Boyfriend, huh?” He didn’t seem convinced.

“Uhhhh yep.”

“Hm. You gonna tell me who it is?”

“Uhhhh. No?”

“Hm. Well, my loving but annoying husband wanted to ask you if that boyfriend is mess’n with you or something. That why you been acting so weird?”

Ellie groans loudly, flopping on the bed. “Noooooooo.”

“Yeeeahhhh didn’t think so, kid. I told ‘em you’re probably just figuring some shit out. I remember being 16 and they should too. Tommy’s old, but he ain’t that goddman old.”

She turns over, facing the wall. There’s a long silence before you ask him to go away.

It was Lorenzo’s turn to sigh. “Okay. You can talk to me, you know that, right?”

Ellie didn’t answer him.

It was the next morning that was the hardest part. She knew she’d have to face Tommy. 

When Ellie walked in the doorway, Tommy was sitting at the table; honeybuns laid out for her. “I’ll leave yuh be in a minute. Can we talk about last night?”

It was clear Tommy was hiding his bandaged hand under the table so as not to upset her. “It was an accident.”

“I know.” He conforms quickly. “I know Ellie. I meant the other-”

“I don’t want to talk about it.” She was still angry. She hated this, the fury she felt, the anger, the rage at what Tommy had done to her dad, the life she had robbed from her.

He simply nodded. He was so understanding it was infuriating. “Okay. Listen, whoever it is you’re seeing, you can see, but it's gotta be in public or at our house. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to-”

“Fine, whatever.” Ellie stormed off to her room. She pick up extra patrol shifts, something that Tommy could verify but not know where she was and sneak off with Joel that way, she could start back with meeting up at night, whatever it was she was going to keep seeing Joel, and she told him as much that night when they met up, Ellie explaining the situation with Tommy and what had happen.

So there it was for a few months, Ellie sneaking off in pockets of time, mostly ignoring Tommy but occasionally spending time with Renzo and Zach. Every few weeks or so Aunt June and Aunt Maura visited, and Ellie tried to spend time with them. She wasn’t as angry with them as she was with her uncles, and she wasn’t as angry with Lorenzo and Zach as she was Tommy. To her, it was Tommy’s fault, Tommy was the catalyst, Tommy was the one she wanted to punish… even if it hurt. She’d be lying if she said she didn’t miss him.

But Ellie was making up for lost time with her dad.

“Yuh know.” Joel started as they were fishing one day. “I was think’n. I’m getting older, I ain’t gonna be able to do what I do forever, I need someone I can trust to take over… I can’t have just anyone, it’s a lot of power, and you know what they say, with great power comes great- you know what, you’re not gonna get that joke. Anyway, what I’m saying is…” Joel took a deep breath, look at Ellie seriously. “I wanna start showing you the ropes of what I do. There’s no pressure to take anything over if you decide it ain’t for you, but you’re a smart kid with a good heart. I think you’d be able to take care of the people like I hope I do.”

Ellie was flabbergasted. She had taken an interest in Joel’s work, yes, but she had never expected this… never expected Joel to feel she was worthy of his work he clearly cared so much about. “Yes!” There was no second thought to her next action. Ellie hugged him.

Joel paused for a moment, probably shocked at the sudden physical affection, but quickly wrapped him arms around her. “I’m very proud of who you've become, Ellie June. I’m sorry I wasn’t there to watch it happen, but I am so, so proud of you.”

************

Not a super eventful chapter, I know, but after examining the time line I decided this is the best course of action. We'll have 6 chapters over all, getting progressively more eventful. I just wanted to show how Joel is slowly replacing Tommy.

Anyway, I think thats all i gotta say! Oh! except hellooooooo to this anon I will continue to not have a single new idea nor will i be proof reading, so eat my ass about it <3

Remember, reblogs are the only way this gets spread and while likes are lovely, they don't help it come to other people unlike other social media. Comments keep me writing and mean the entire world to me.

Least Haunted Character Recap: Consent Fetishist "Rassy."

This Friday (12/22/23) Least Haunted will release its 4th annual fully dramatized Holiday Special: Consent Fetishist Rassy's 100% Consensual Christmas Extravaganza!

But some of you who are unfamiliar with The Least Haunted Podcast might be a bit confused as to what the hell is going on, or who the hell "Consent Fetishist Rassy" is? So We have prepared this Helpful little character bio/recap to bring you up to speed.

This will include all appearances of Rassy in both Halloween and Holiday specials. It will gloss some of the non special appearances for completion. But you really should listen to the show, because they get mentioned rather frequently. Are you ready? You have to say "Yes" first! Those are the rules...

NAME: Rassy

ALIASES: Consent Fetishist Rassy, Consent Fetishist Elmo, Tickle You Elmo, Dr. Funninstuffed phd

AGE: (as of 2023) -7 is from a nullified future timeline/parallel universe. will would have been manufactured ca, 2030.

HEIGHT: 2.5 ft, .762 meters

WEIGHT: Surprisingly more than you would suspect

GENDER: Whatever you want them to be

ORIENTATION: Pansexual Polyamourous

PRONOUNS: They/Them

First, we need to talk about The Backwards Carousel of Time!

The Backwards Carousel of Time was introduced in Episode 04: The Clownening, and is a mechanical device later revealed to have been built by Cody using specs from the internet, and parts kluged together from a Tiger Electronics X-Men handheld game from the 90's, and a Tickle Me Elmo doll. It allows for Cody and Garth to travel through time to observe events discussed in the podcast a la "The Ghost of Christmas Present."

The Carousel SHOULD not allow for interaction between the observed and the observers... It is used primarily as a narrative device to keep things interesting.

All of this changed however in Episode 44: OOPS! All Christmas! Which served as the show's second Holiday Special.

In this holiday special Cody has added some modifications to the Backwards Carousel of Time that would allow for travel to the future and not just the past, and he wants to show them to Garth. Unfortunately a spilled holiday themed beverage causes a malfunction which transports the two to an alternate future in which The War on Christmas was decisively and brutally won by Christmas. Now every day is Christmas, and all culture and economy are yuletide based.

It is revealed that the carousel doesn't actually travel through time, and it never has! Instead it creates a small pocket dimension that operates much like the Holodeck from Star Trek. However this time due to the spilled drink malfunction the simulated people within the pocket dimension can see and interact with Cody and Garth.

In order to escape back to their rightful time/dimension Cody and Garth must team up with a cadre of militant Santa Clauses who are waging a guerrilla campaign to overthrow the fascist holiday state and return balance to all holidays with the true meaning of Christmas.

To repair the carousel they need a chip from a Tickle Me Elmo equivalent, which in this timeline is called "Tickle You Elmo!" (The doll with no sense of personal space!), and it just so happens to be the must have toy of the season. Also, Tickle You Elmo is a fully autonomous AI animatronic toy now.

Working with the Santa's they successfully steal the toy in a heist, use the parts to repair the carousel and return home. Unfortunately in the process the carousel is destroyed, AND the Tickle You Elmo came back to reality with Cody and Garth!

Using quick thinking, the duo lock the pesty robot in a room with the broken Backwards Carousel of Time with instructions to "Fix it."

That is where Tickle You Elmo is left...

That is until, Episode 50: The Garth Moon Hoax!

In this regular episode of the podcast, it is revealed that not only has Tickle You Elmo completed repairs on the Backwards Carousel of Time, but due to some deep soul searching and self exploration Tickle You Elmo has learned the value of consensual interactions, and in fact now consent is their kink. Thus they are rebranded as Consent Fetishist Elmo!

Tracking Coyotes...

[PICTURE REDACTED/CLASSIFIED]

Around this time Consent Fetishist Elmo was sent to help Patreon Monster Squadron member, and wildlife biologist, @thebibarbarian in their research regarding Coyotes. Consent Fetishist Elmo officially became The Bibarbarian's research assistant, and along the way got alarmingly good at shooting a tranquilizer gun. A skill that would have been much more troubling if developed at a past point in their life. Also, a skill that translates into a general proficiency in long-guns...

Episode 65: Helldoodle!

In this, the third Halloween Special, Cody and Garth accidentally open a portal to Hell by playing a Three Men and A Baby Breakfast Cereal premium collector's 45 rpm vinyl backwards.

The resulting portal allows a number of Demons to come through into our plain of existence. One such Demon, Malacoda gets renamed Garth-Two and aides Cody and Garth in closing the portal and returning the other Demons to Hell. Garth-Two sticks around to become another recurring character.

Consent Fetishist Elmo show's up at the end to tranquilize a coyote and announce that they have returned from their time as a research assistant.

At the end of the special it is implied the Garth-Two tries to eat Consent Fetishist Elmo. In the process one of Consent Fetishist Elmo's eyes is damaged. It is later revealed through dialogue in regular episodes that the duo of Garth-Two and Consent Fetishist Elmo have actually become close friends, and that the two have embarked on a roadtrip through The American Southwest together.

Episode 91: Bottleeen!

In the fourth Least Haunted Halloween Special it is revealed that Consent Fetishist Elmo and Garth-Two have returned from their Thelma and Louise style voyage of self discovery. Also In order to escape the lawyers of "Big PBS" and The Children's Television Workshop, Consent Fetishist Elmo has adopted a new moniker!

Since Elmo it a nickname based on the name Erasmus, they have adapted a new variant of Erasmus and now go by, Consent Fetishist Rassy

In the episode Rassy shoots a fake Cody (a bottleganger) in the head sniper style in order to save Garth from being trapped in a small bottle-episode dimension. Although that part may not be completely canonical... You'll just have to listen to that episode to find out!

Which brings us up to speed with this year's holiday special, Consent Fetishist Rassy's 100% Consensual Christmas Extravaganza! Which premiers FRIDAY DECEMBER 22ND wherever podcasts can be heard, as well as on www.leasthaunted.com.

Who would have thought that a small independent artisanal podcast about paranormal skepticism would develop such a complex and intricate backstory and canonical universe? Eat yer hearts out Marvel!

p.s. You should also probably be aware that in the parlance of The Least Haunted Podcast, the term "Notes" can refer to weed. That might be helpful to know in the special as well.

masterlist | previous | next

You find yourself back where you were initially seated but this time, in between Chan and Seungcheol instead of Doyeon. The Professor had told everyone to find seats once they grouped up and Seungcheol suggested you take a seat at the back of the class. There were 2 girls who were seated to Seungcheol’s right and were ogling him. The both of them also had the number 3 on their paper and followed you all upon hearing Seungcheol asking around for anyone with the number 3. 

Chan was still holding onto your hand. You had no intention of letting go though, especially with how awkward the air above you was. Chan and Doyeon often took turns helping to ground you whenever you got anxious and now it was Chan’s turn to help. 

The girl with a wolf cut spoke first, breaking the silence. “My name is Ryujin. It’s nice to meet you all. Especially you.” she said while looking at Seungcheol. You see him purse his lips while nodding slightly. The girl next to her then introduced herself, also openly admitting that she’s a fan of his. Yuna. You realised that while Jeonghan and Joshua entertained their fans, Seungcheol never really bothered. 

Chan introduces himself next, leaving you and Seungcheol to introduce yourselves. You look at him and he looks at you, both of you waiting for the other to speak first. Chan gives your hand a squeeze and you decide to break the silence. “I’m Y/N. Nice to meet you all.” You see Seungcheol smile a little and Ryujin’s face goes cold when she notices it too.

“I’m Seungcheol, but you all probably already knew that.” He says with a little bit of arrogance painting his voice. 

The class quiets down for a bit as everyone settles down in their groups. The Professor, Professor Seo, finally started his lesson. The lesson was pretty easy to follow granted that you had already looked up all the study material needed for all of your classes. You could occasionally hear Ryujin and Yuna giggle but for the most part, the lesson went by pretty quietly. You were focused on the lesson and were periodically helping Chan when he needed help. When the lesson started, you mentally put up a wall between you and Seungcheol, which by the way, was something you were good at, in order to focus. You were not intending to put down your mental wall until the lesson ended. 

And soon, the lesson did end. Before ending, Professor Seo gives the class a mini assignment. Seungcheol asks the group if anyone wants to set up a group chat to discuss our assignments and Ryujin offers to set it up. You all end up giving your phone numbers to her. 

“Do you want to be the group leader?” Chan asks Ryujin. You do need to put someone’s name as the leader and since Ryujin is setting up the group chat, Chan decided to ask her.

She looks at Chan and then looks at Seungcheol. “I think Seungcheol should be the leader.”

He takes a moment to think about her offer. And then he looks at you. “Only if Y/N agrees to be the assistant leader,” he says, leaving Yuna baffled and Ryujin seething with anger. A moment of awkward silence fills the air. Surprisingly, Ryujin is the one to break the silence. 

“So are you going to agree or not?” There’s a hint of spite in her voice, making you aware of the fact that you might have accidentally made an enemy on your first day of your second year. You realise that neither of the answers you give would pacify her so you decide to actually take up the offer. You end up taking yourself, and Chan, by surprise with your answer. 

“Oh my god I’m an idiot!” 

You’re back at the cafe where you started your morning but this time, only with Jun and Chan. You have a 3 hour break and decided to come back to the cafe for lunch solely to avoid having to see Seungcheol and his friends as well as Ryujin and her friends. Minnie and Doyeon’s schedules were different from the 3 of you which is why they weren’t at the cafe. 

After the incident in class, Seungcheol’s friends showed up and you couldn’t ask him why he wanted you to be the assistant leader of the group. Ryujin packed her stuff and left with Yuna while sulking, leaving you to finally process what just happened. Jun had walked up to the both of you and Chan suggested going back to the cafe knowing that you wouldn’t want to be on campus grounds after what just happened. Chan quietly briefed Jun on what had happened in class. 

“So why did you say yes?” Jun asks.

“I don’t know! The pressure? The fact that Ryujin looked like she was going to murder me regardless of what I said? I don’t know.” You put your head into your palms, trying to gather yourself. 

“Maybe you can use this to help you fight your fear?” Jun suggests, though he knew it wouldn’t be a good idea.

“Are you kidding? It’s already bad enough that I have to be in a group with him AND he wants me to be his assistant?! I made an enemy, EN. NE. MY. because of his stupid little remark. I did not spend an entire year making myself invisible just for Mr Has Everyone’s Attention to ruin it!” 

Your response leaves both Jun and Chan wide eyed.

“You know him?” Chan questions you.

It was at this moment when you realised that while you were externalising your anger, you might have accidentally acknowledged the fact that you knew him. 

“Do. Not. Tell. Doyeon.” You briefly go over how you know him without mentioning that you once found him attractive. It took Chan and Jun awhile to process the fact that you knew the guy from the library and yet you didn’t say anything about it. 

“Ok but what if he knew you from that class? It’s kind of obvious if there’s only one person who’s more interested in running out of the class than trying to flirt with him.” Jun suggests.

“Yeah, right. What is this, a romance book?” Chan scoffs.

Did I make a mistake?

re: yellowjackets au.

there's already a lot in yj that's influenced by tp / just laura herself! for the most part, it's not very deep --- so this isn't that kind of post --- but i do want to point some of it out for people who haven't seen peaks, because i think it goes a ways to show how easy it is to just throw her in there.

so.

character tribute 1: laura [palmer; sheryl] lee. christian but not in That Way. the episode about laura lee's flight/sacrifice was originally titled 'fire walk with me' after the 1992 film about laura's, so i know for SURE that those parallels were not accidental.

character tribute 2: van. this one's really kind of just 'she's gay and they have the same surname, and every time a girl in horror has the name palmer it's for the same reason' but they'd get along really well. so she gets a mention, anyway.

lottie's powers, if you believe they're powers, are pretty much the same as laura's. the thing is, though, that laura's are tied to a specific group of Beings that i don't especially care to drag into this (even though they live in the pnw, which funnily Is Where They Are). i imagine she'd be able to be useful in surprising ways, though, she's bad to have dreams / premonitions about her own situations. if she tells you you should look over there for food, etc., you should probably do it.

(she is more likely to just go after it herself, though. she definitely isn't going to broadcast That Shit.)

the mall/mirror universe (ft. misty's dreamscape) is all From Peaks. misty's dreamscape is an actual set from peaks --- it's the black lodge/red room/basically the spirit house (where laura 'lives' after she dies, and one of the places she visits in her dreams beforehand). there's a lot of interesting stuff to get in here in the sci-fi of it all, BUT i don't know how much farther they'll take the concept of tulpas/doppelgangers, so i will not. do that.

about actually throwing her in there:

she actually knows a lot about #survival and i would imagine that's true even if she's been stranded in jersey for some ungodly reason, though she might not have so much hands-on experience. i always say laura was a boy scout and i kind of really mean it.

if there's something that may or may not need doing, and half the group is like "hell, no, i don't have a death wish", laura will be in the other half. every time. i'd say she'd be king of the other half, but that spot is already taken. so thanks for taking that off our hands, tai.

they're kids here so it's not like she's running around with EMT certification or whatever, but she will be at least as knowledgable as misty and has probably had more practice, as she is pretty used to being responsible for children. and i hope. misty is not.

i don't really have thoughts about her surviving or not; i kind of assume that if this takes off and i'm doing a lot of development with other survivors, she will, and if not, it's anybody's guess. but i just really am amused by the Very Real Thought that she at least wouldn't be one of the first to die. which is, like, nice for her. once.

and it's kind of... well. obviously not a vacation. but she would be at all times very aware that she dodged a bullet by not being home / from her abusers assuming she's dead. so i think she'd be able to be present in a way she usually isn't, especially when she's [gestures vaguely] that age.

she has tarot cards. sorry to all of you.

Beta in the Alpha Pack Post-Canon Ideas

Spoilers for Beta in the Alpha Pack Below

Emily ends up with Simon. I think I said that? Since Simon is the next strongest after James, he eventually becomes pack leader, making Emily the highest-ranking omega in the pack. She uses her influence to try to make the pack a little less brutal? But yeah, I don’t think one omega is enough to enact huge change, but she makes some progress. I also don’t think any relationship can be healthy as we think of it within the bounds of the alpha/omega bond in this universe, but Emily and Simon have a comparatively good relationship, though they have their disagreements.   

Emily also never stops hating James and gets angry whenever his name is mentioned (the feeling is mutual, because she is also one of the few people James openly dislikes. Which is rare, because while people can annoy him in the moment, James rarely holds onto hate for anyone. The fact that she is important enough to hate is almost a sign of respect.)

Emily also takes care of Anders’ mom.

And here is where my shipper brain rot comes out. Like actually, please buckle your seatbelts everyone.

So this happened when I was comparing Mikey and Molly from James’ POV. But I decided that Mikey is mainly attracted to omegas. And he basically orchestrates what happens with the rest of the pack from behind the scenes.

Mikey likes Molly.

Mikey mates with Rainey under the mutual agreement that Rainey will let him sleep with Molly. In exchange, Mikey won’t complain if he sleeps with Piper.

Mikey considers trying to arrange Molly and Piper match, but Piper doesn’t have enough power/influence in the pack to satisfy Molly. She’s all about position, and is a little bitter about losing out to Emily with Simon.

So Mikey makes a deal with Cole (who is in a higher position now that his bestie Simon will be the next pack leader) (and who also has a deep-seated crush on him) that he will sleep with him if he takes Molly as a mate and lets him also continue a relationship with her.

It takes Molly a really long time to admit that she likes Mikey too. But I think eventually she realizes that she only sees alphas for what they can do for her. Well… she also realizes that Mikey can do things for her too (just a little more subtly/indirectly).  Idk, she’s selfish, okay? But I think that’s what Mikey likes about her. Her selfish, demanding, attention-seeking attitude is the complete opposite of his. 

I’m going to say that eventually it becomes a Cole/Molly/Mikey trouple relationship (sometimes ft. Rainey). With Cole in charge, but is he really? Cole= sarcastic, tsundere type Mikey= stoic, calm, patient, very good at hiding emotions, calculating, Molly= princess, generally very good at manipulating to get her way, but techniques aren’t very effective against Cole and Mikey. She still usually gets her way anyways, since they both like her.

Mikey and Rainey have a more platonic bond. Cole also has a mainly platonic bond with Rainey… that sometimes gets physical.

Rainey and Piper are always fighting for dominance over one another, and their relationship has basically been an open secret this whole time, but no one says anything because they both mate omegas like they’re supposed to. Polyamory etc. is less common in larger packs, and much less common in packs with fewer betas, but not super taboo or anything (this is only if all participating members are within the same pack. Cross-pack polyamory means someone is probably going to die.). Views differ from pack to pack, though alpha/omega bond is the most basic form of all pack structures.

For the other characters that I didn’t mention, imagine whatever you want!

Outrider - CR3 Monstrous Humanoid

An animalistic species of vaguely humanoid hunters based on the Outriders from the MCU.

Artwork is official concept art from Avengers: Endgame, copyright Marvel Entertainment.

This creature was created as a commission.

Outriders are not born, they are made. A genetically engineered parasite-assassin solely devoted to the whims of its maker, these creatures have no names, just a binary existence defined by whether they complete the task given to them or whether they fail.

Thanos uses the outriders as soldiers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, most notably in the massive Battle of Wakanda where thousands of them commit suicide by kamikaze-charging into an energy shield until it loses power, and this scene where Hawkeye is chased by several of them through a tunnel.  Despite being willing to sacrifice themselves, they do start to flee after their commanders are killed, so it’s implied that they probably have animal-level intelligence rather than being truly mindless.  They just lack any survival instinct, and will only flee if their mission can’t be completed any more.

Normally a creature with less than 3 Int can’t understand any languages, but outriders are exceptions.  Golems and zombies are also exceptions, despite their stat blocks not actually saying so, so there’s plenty of precedent - I’m just trying to be clearer about it than Paizo by including the language in the stat block.

This thing is CR 3, but it can easily one-shot a lot of level 3 characters with its pounce attack, so it’s balanced with the assumption that either the players are higher level and facing this creature in a group of enemies, or the players have a good chance to use ranged attacks, stealth, or other tactics to take it down before it reaches them.  Because outriders are incredibly stupid and single-minded, similar to golems or mindless undead, and also have terrible perception, getting a strategic advantage against them shouldn’t be too hard.

Later this week, I intend to release a stronger version of this creature with stealth capabilities, which negates a lot of these drawbacks and makes them way more dangerous.  There’s a depiction of outriders turning invisible in one of the movies, but my interpretation is that not all outriders can do so.

Outrider - CR3 Monstrous Humanoid

This creature is roughly humanoid in appearance, with leathery black and gold skin stretched tightly over its athletic form, and no visible eyes.  Its four arms have almost metallic claws, and its canine jaw hides a row of fangs.

XP 800 LN Medium monstrous humanoid Init +3 Senses darkvision 60 ft.; Perception -2

SPECIAL ABILITIES

Commanded (Ex) An outrider has a master designated to it when it is created.  An outrider’s master can command it if the outrider is within 60 feet and can see and hear its master.  If uncommanded, an outrider usually follows its last instruction to the best of its ability, though if attacked it returns the attack.  The master can give the outrider a simple command to govern its actions in his absence, or can order the golem to obey the commands of another, but the outrider’s creator can always resume control by commanding the outrider to obey him alone.

An outrider’s master can give an outrider special instructions to follow in the event of the master’s death, which can include the designation of a new master according to a chain of command.  Without such a special instruction, if its master dies, an outrider reverts to the instincts of a wild predatory animal.

High Leap (Ex) Once per day, an outrider can jump five times the normal distance when making a vertical jump.

Quadrupedal Movement (Ex) An outrider normally moves bipedally, but it can choose to move quadrupedally instead.  When it does so, its base movement speed increases to 60 ft. and it gains a +4 bonus to CMD against trip attempts, but it loses its rake ability.  It decides whether to move bipedally or quadrupedally at the start of each of its turns, and continues moving that way until the start of its next turn.

2nd part

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

General impression of the character (on others):

Eileen is tall compared to other girls her age. She has a pale complexion, as if she has never seen the daylight, and her skin is thin, revealing her veins that appear bluish in some places. Her hair is black as ink, cut into a bob, straight with a fringe that she sometimes cuts a bit too short. Being naturally slender, she has a hollow face and dark circles are often marked under her eyes. Her eyes are green, a sage green that seems to pierce through when she looks at us.

Skin color : White

Eye color : Green

Hair : Straight, bob cut, black

Style of clothing : Mostly in uniform, otherwise always dressed in dark colors

3rd part

CHARACTER

Eileen is of impassive nature, very inexpressive, often going unnoticed among other students. She rarely speaks, participates little during lessons, and is often alone in public. She seems insensitive to teasing, pays little attention to rules, and often prefers to avoid crowded corridors. She is also very mysterious about her origins, childhood, and family, but can be good company if one takes the time to scratch the shell of stoicism she has built.

4th part

MEDICAL/PSYCHOLOGY

HEALTH/HYGIENE :

General health condition: Good

Sleep: She is often awake at night due to her insomnia and takes advantage of it to wander the corridors.

PSYCHOLOGY :

Variable. Despite her detached air, she internalizes a lot and is actually someone who is very stressed and very aware of the surrounding danger (the context in which she was raised, especially seeing her father regularly risking his life playing a double role, makes her one of the indirect witnesses of all the attempts by the Dark Lord to bring down Harry Potter.).

Behavioral disorder(s) : Anxiety, insomnia, selective mutism during traumatic events (especially if someone yells at her, she easily loses her composure)

General level of nervousness : 8/10 General level of violence : 2/10

Phobia(s) : It's paradoxical, but she is extremely anxious about sleeping, being alone, and especially not seeing her father come back after each mission.

Other : She is a good Occlumens, but a very average Legilimens.

5th part

FAMILY BACKGROUND

Father : Severus Snape

Mother : ?

Siblings : -

6th part

RELATIONSHIP

General behavior towards others : When facing strangers, Eileen is naturally suspicious and very discreet. Once she gets to know a person, she can reveal a part of herself that is very carefree and even appears to be somewhat immodest compared to her usual behavior.

Sexual orientation : To be defined

Ease of attachment level : 2/10

7th part

LIFESTYLE AND LIVING ENVIRONMENT

Patronus : Her patronus is a spider whose body distorts strangely when she moves.

Hobby, occupation(s) : Since she was little, her father improvised potions lessons in their living room when she couldn't sleep, and as she grew older, she developed a taste for it. Even before she could read properly, Eileen could distinguish any flower by its smell, recognize the leaves of plants by their shape, and adapt the ingredients according to the effect the potion should have. She excels in this subject and even reached a university level in her 5th year, although during class she simply does what is required with brilliance.

8th part

BIOGRAPHY

Eileen Pride Prince was born on January 24, 1983, the only daughter of Severus Snape and a witch whose name is not mentioned. She carries the first and middle name of her father's mother, thus avoiding direct association with him while paying homage to their family history.

Her second name, "Pride," was given to her by Minerva, who, along with Dumbledore and Severus, is the only one aware of her origins.

During her childhood, and up until the war broke out in 1997, her father's true identity was kept secret to protect his role as a spy and Death Eater in service to Dumbledore. Eileen then grew up at Hogwarts, tossed between the forbidden ingredient reserves where she spent hours learning while her father took inventory, late-night potions lessons improvised in their living room, and the dark corridors where Mrs. Norris was sometimes her only company.

She excels in many subjects but stands out especially in potions, which she had mastered even before learning to read properly. Her entire childhood was filled with the scents of cauldrons, the vapors of macerating plants, and the bottling of potions that her father prepared, which she took care to label to help him.

A member of the Slytherin house, Eileen is known for being very intelligent, confident, and extremely cunning. Despite her cold nature, expressionless face, and imperturbable demeanor, she suffers from anxiety that often prevents her from sleeping, condemning her to wander the castle corridors in search of rest.

She has an unconditional love for her father, who raised and protected her despite the circumstances in which she was born and who continues to prioritize her whenever he can. Their relationship is unusual in that they rarely see each other during the day, contenting themselves with a teacher/student relationship when necessary. In the evenings, however, she takes advantage of the opportunity to slip into his office while Severus corrects his students' work, speaking rarely during these moments when she prefers to simply listen to him complain about his mediocre students.

As she grew older, her striking resemblance to Severus often made her the target of ridicule by other students. Her bony face, black hair, and drawn features reminded many of the Potions Master, who had never denied their relationship. In reality, the probability that they were linked in any way was so absurd that no one had ever gone beyond the mockery, thus preserving the secret that represents for Eileen the story of her life.

i actually have a lot of kpop idol ocs with one of my friends, and we make 'fanfic' aus of them heehee. we even have kpop fic author ocs???? lmk if i cooked, u guys (THE LINKS AND USERS ARE FAKE. THEY JUST LEAD TO "https://domain.ext/path/")

TT... if you find that you want more after the ending, don't worry!! there is an am:vl spinoff sm!au where they have frequent reappearances, even through the children's banter lol ヾ(≧▽≦*)o blood of the covenant by @.ryungswr. myungyun, chaptered, finished. religious themes, vampire!myungdae, and 1900s vibes, all wrapped into one?? nainai never really thought that it would work with myungyun, but considering bite me era, i dont think i should be surprised.. the way yongsun was handled here made me gasp!! his character was very iconic (as much as i hate to say it LOL) and impacted the story.. poetically written, give it five stars o(￣▽￣)ｄ... if you finish reading it but want more, there's a crack au and a no-schedule 'sequel'! sunflower and angel's trumpet by @.0425zz. lunette, florist!linette x mafia!dailu, chaptered, ongoing. i was a casual dreamie listener, but this made me look into the group even further.. if you like old money aesthetics, double life, and very dynamic character dynamics, please read this story.. the characterization is so fun and refreshing, and there are direct references to sweeties' inside jokes lol. there's even ANGST!!

Headcanon dump ft. Shi

Zhang Shi is not his original name (as most would know from reading his profile). His "birth" (given by adoptive parents) name is actually Ren Su (last, first). He never will reveal this information to anyone, as being called by it only stirs memories he would rather forget. Though, that name does suit him in a sense as Su is written with the character that means "respectful". Shi is written with the character that means "time, era, season" and Zhang is written with the character that means "stretch, extend".

He is fluent in Mandarin, but hardly uses it unless speaking with those who actually understand the language. At home, he solely writes in simplified Chinese as that is the language his guardian communicates with via the notes they exchange. Shi can read traditional Chinese writing as well.

His spoken English doesn't carry much of an accent—he uses it a lot more than he uses Chinese. However, he speaks English significantly slower than he speaks Chinese.

Despite speaking the language and being born Chinese, he doesn't practice other cultural traditions or engage in other aspects of the culture (outside of maybe knowing how to cook some dishes).

Because he uses fountain pens to write, his handwriting in English tends to lean more on calligraphy.

Shi sometimes makes his own bookmarks, though it's better to say he has a collection of them gathered from book fairs and book stores.

He does live at home with the cloaked man, but they hardly see each other in person, hence the huge amounts of random papers with notes left on them.

It's not a surprise that he always has a book to read with him at all times. Most of the time, he reads novels in Chinese (so he doesn't lose touch with the language). If reading a novel in Chinese, someone might hear him muttering the words aloud as he reads.

The shelves in his room have books in both Chinese and English—usually he has two copies of each book, one in each language, if possible.

Shi could easily take up a job as a translator but he prefers working in a bookstore where not many people really stop by.

He and Zerah attend(ed) the same university. Shi is close to graduating while Zerah already graduated. You could say they know of each other (as in their names are familiar to each other some how).

Sometimes, he plays small jokes on people he is close with, such as scaring them a little with a bit of shadow manipulation or conjuring a scary figure illusion in someone's peripheral vision—works wonders in haunted houses or scary places to spur them into clinging to him. He would definitely do this to someone he had a crush on.

Boy sucks at identifying when he has crushes though. People who know him would probably have to tell him outright "Uh, doesn't that mean you like them?" and he gives them a look before the dots actually connect.

Once he gets used to someone, Shi tends to become more bold and proactive about things. He can also take the lead in romantic relationships as well. Though, he is flexible about that—so if his partner wants to lead, he'll let them.

On the romance note, Shi is the type to make consent questions sound and feel very romantic. Boy is good at setting the mood with how he looks at people.

His pupil and sclera colors invert (pupil becomes white and sclera becomes black while his irises become a much more saturated, glowy red behind the brown contacts he wears) when he draws out his magic too much. At times, he may bleed from his eyes if he really loses control. His eye markings and natural red eye color tend to stand out in these cases, even if his contacts are on.

new intro just dropped lol

i dont actually like pink that much but its the closest to my current hair color. there was another pinned post before this but it was sucky so im redoing it and its been a while since i updated anyway so yk how it is ------

//OOC section is under the cut, please read that before interacting with this blog. Thanks!

UPDATE AS OF 06/05/2024: This blog is going to be converted to a PKMN IRL Hub! Please see this post for clarification! OOC Section

Aspen is 17 and turning 18 soon but mod is a minor. Behave accordingly.

I do more things with Aspen in a discord RP, and he will likely reference events which occur in said discord RP. Additionally, he has a lot of lore/backstory derived from this RP as well, just something to be aware of.

Regarding the above point; Aspen is a Chosen of Palkia, she will say things on this blog occasionally. This Palkia is not necessarily 'good,' and could be considered cruel at times.

I've got a canon I'm working with, so I may ignore an ask or an interaction if it goes against it strongly.

High stakes won't be a huuuuuge thing on here, I don't see Aspen explicitly talking about his trauma on this blog, but he may refer to past events. Things that are explicitly high stakes will be tagged accordingly.

The in-character DNI is completely a joke out of character! While Aspen may be slightly hostile towards Blueberry Academy centric accounts, he will not be serious, he will be joking! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Blueberry accounts can interact!!

Tags

I can't guarantee that I'll be perfect with these, but I will be trying to tag things according to the below key.

#aspen reblogs ⇌ in-character reblogs

#aspen talks ⇌ in-character posts

#aspen replies ⇌ asks responded to in-character
