Name: Percy Andrews Pronouns: He/Him Birthday: 1st April 1917 Hometown: Saint-Nazaire, France Species: Vampire Affiliation: Evil - Revolution FC: Herman Tømmeraas

Bio ➜

❝FIGHT SO DIRTY, BUT YOU LOVE SO SWEET, TALK SO PRETTY, BUT YOUR HEART GOT TEETH.❞

Percival Andrews was born to a depressing love affair and raised by a part-time father. As far as anyone was concerned, at the time, Clarence Andrews had done his best. Being the 'other' family, the 'other' son, didn't do wonders for Percy's self-esteem or his bitterness. A part of him had often wondered about how the other half were living, the childhood they might have had. His imagination could often get away from him. Then, his father died. A lifetime of unresolved issues would become his cross to bear while Percy tried to find his place in the world. Even out of his father's shadow, Percy still felt as if he didn't truly belong anywhere. He was lost, until the night he met Charles Emerson. Charlie hadn't been a vampire long, but already he was a fearsome adversary. A nightmare, a horror story, whispered among those brave enough to believe in such things. Charlie had also lost his family, his beloved best friend, and even though he was thriving in this new life, he still felt he was missing a piece. Percy reminded Charlie of his best friend Chris, reminded him of himself when his own maker, Piper Renderos, had found him. He knew what he had to do. Percy had no idea how much his life was going to change when Charlie sunk his fangs into his neck. When Percy next opened his eyes, his whole world had changed. For decades, Charlie taught Percy everything that he knew. He moulded him, mentored him, encouraged and loved him like his own. Percy had become a beautiful monster, he was everything Charlie could have hoped for and more. Released into the world, he caused havoc. Percy learned how to manipulate, to cause the maximum amount of pain, and enjoy every last second of it. He could insert himself into a life, and burn it down from the inside. Percy could play the best of them, stringing many along before breaking their hearts in the worst way. He is patient, calculated, and excellent at reading other people. Percy has always been observant, a people watcher, and there is nothing he enjoys more than learning what makes someone else tick. He's waited a long time now to insert himself into his brothers' lives, but at last, his time has come. They won't know what hit them, until it's too late.

Additional Information ➜

Percy has known that he is the bastard brother of Corey, Alex and Chris Andrews for a century now. They, however, are none the wiser. He has bided his time, waited in the shadows, watched and studied all three of them intensely. Percy knows he can play them perfectly, and he can't wait to put his plan into motion.

Ancient vampire, Edward Carrington, had known about Percy's existence from the beginning. He took an interest when it best suited him, bringing Percy into the fold and keeping him back as a secret weapon. When the time came, he would play his hand. Percy has helped Edward lay down the bricks of the master plan with ease, even orchestrating the turning of Jessica Harvelle.

Playing double agent comes as a second nature to Percy. He's willing to do what it takes, to cross the line, to play his part until he gets what he wants. He will infiltrate the underground, his own brothers, and help burn this world to the ground.

[demigods-posts]

big idea!!! what if instead of annabeth falling off the cliff with the manticore!! the manticore drags her to the edge of the cliff so it doesn't fall alone!! and percy sees what's happening!! and wills a nearby water source to take hold of her hand!! because he wants to prove himself as a big three kid!! but the water does not catch her in time!! and percy has to watch annabeth fall into what looks like a dark and bottomless pit!!!

[lovely-english-rose]

Please do a little drawing of whoever comes to mind first when you read this!

will solace has been on the brain, so today i humbly offer him-

[axellis-archv-2]

ok where are you guys sitting

btw readmore for some notes of what the seating environment is like

TABLE 1: - I think every and all idols have an innate sense of 'this table needs someone to talk about rainbows and sunshine with' so Nazuna immediately detected the depression-zone on his radar and is over there.

TABLE 3: - Fusehound are literally sitting like this

TABLE 4: - ok. so. idv edgar has like the most absurd and obnoxious crush on ramattrα and its like kind of embarrassing for everybody whos witnessing because ramattrα just either isnt interested or doesnt know . ramattrα sat down with ED eggy because robits unite or whatever and is like only interested in talking with him. pure vanilla keeps trying to chime in but ramattrα gets increasingly jabby and it makes pure vanilla really uncomfortable. if this isnt enough idv edgar is like the gayest homophobic man in the history of mankind and is like Seeting because of f.usehound behind him && the yuri action thats going on with table 1

TABLE 5: - the nerd table got infiltrated by madeleine and everybody is having like. the Worst time because of it. but keito was already having a bit of a bad time because he thinks caustic & luchino are like going to start planning on unleashing a gas into this lunchroom

TABLE 7: - svarog was like ordered to sit there to make sure that the rest of the table of maniacs dont actually start any trouble

TABLE 8: - omen wanted to leave and eat in the bathroom but butter pretzel & niran started having a genuine sweet and fun conversation with him so now hes stuck there and forced to have a good time . but also theyre in proximity to madeleine who is VERY LOUD so omen still wants to bolt

Please be mindful of the tags and warnings on AO3, this is a dead dove friendly event!

your circuits in the sea by puppetdyke E | Star Trek: Lower Decks (Cartoon) | Badgey (Star Trek)/Sam Rutherford

Badgey glitches into the present. In front of Samanthan, he floats upward, forcing his father to gaze at him from a rough grasp beneath the chin. “It could’ve been better than this, but no,” he continues. “You didn’t want me.”

Beautiful Lilac Flower by Lizzie_queen_of_meigas NR | Flowers in the Attic - V. C. Andrews | Christopher Foxworth Sr./Corrine Foxworth, Corrine Foxworth/Bartholomew Winslow

Corrine Dollanganger, Corrine Foxworth, is a lot of things, and vengeful is one of them.

never promised you (an open heart) by puppetdyke E | Star Trek: Lower Decks (Cartoon) | D'Erika Tendi/D'Vana Tendi

D’Erika groans. She lurches - as if turning to leave - before some greater enlightenment envelops her and she turns right back to D’Vana, leans in closer, smiles. “Pretend he’s me.”

Red bikinis by mikeellee NR | Danny Phantom | Danny Fenton/Jazz Fenton

What a hormonal boy does alone in his room is not a mystery. What Danny does in his room alone or with his sister IS a mystery.

The Collar by JaggedEdges M | 魔道祖师 - 墨香铜臭 | Módào Zǔshī - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù | Nie Huaisang/Nie Mingjue

Nie Huaisang collars Nie Mingjue.

Taking Charge by The_Fourth_Queen E | Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling  | George Weasley & Percy Weasley, Fred Weasley & Percy Weasley, Ron Weasley's Uncle Bilius / George Weasley

"I think Uncle Bilius is having a nightmare,” Fred blurted out nervously, “He's grunting and making these weird sounds, and he's holding Georgie really tightly and Georgie isn't waking up!" Percy didn't know what to do. He wanted to cry. But he couldn’t. He was almost twelve years old and he's in charge of his siblings tonight. He shouldn’t be crying!

Mama Said by spirt_anniemal M | Neon Genesis Evangelion | Akagi Naoko/Akagi Ritsuko

Ritsuko still writes letters to her late mother. Sometimes she responds.

an audience of one by TenebrisKukris E | Evillious Chronicles, Vocaloid | Behemo Barisol/Levia Barisol

Sexytimes ensue when Behemo decides to perform some sexting with Levia now that they're in the Fourth Period.

You're In My Bed, Uncle Peter by whimsicalmeerkat for Aconitehart E | Teen Wolf (TV) | Derek Hale/Peter Hale

Stiles had thought it was funny at first. He'd made a million jokes about sex pollen. They stopped when he looked up the flowers Peter had been sent. When he realized Peter would actually die, and this time it would almost certainly stick. Derek wasn't going to risk Peter's life on the slim chance that it wouldn't. ~ Fuck or die of the sex pollen variety.

Love On Ice by Ives_Blossom E | The Flash (TV 2014), The Flash - All Media Types, DCU, DCU (Comics) | Leonard Snart/Lisa Snart

Lisa and Leonard go ice skating in a park, but Leonard can't seem to keep his hands to himself.

[jojoseames]

I like keeping track of what books I've read over the course of a year. (When I finish one, I jot it down in a little notebook.) I read 22 of them this year! That's novels, novellas, short story collections, and nonfiction (but not comics and graphic novels, which I don't keep track of.)

In order, in 2024 I read:

Charles Dickens - Sketches by Boz

Elmore Leonard - Up in Honey's Room

Sakaku Hishikawa - Chainsaw Man: Buddy Stories

Albert Camus - The Plague

P. G. Wodehouse - Very Good, Jeeves!

Raymond Chandler - Farewell, My Lovely

Jane Austen - Emma (re-read)

Ian Fleming - Moonraker

John Kennedy Toole - A Confederacy of Dunces

Fyodor Dostoevsky - The Idiot

Jun'ichirō Tanizaki - Naomi

Anne Brontë - The Tenant of Wildfell Hall

Silvia Moreno-Garcia - Silver Nitrate

Dashiell Hammett - The Glass Key

Daphne du Maurier - I'll Never Be Young Again

Benjamin Percy - Thrill Me: Essays on Fiction

C. Willett & Phillis Cunnington - The History of Underclothes

various authors - American Fantastic Tales: Terror and the Uncanny From Poe to the Pulps

Benjamin Percy - The Ninth Metal

Mallory O'Meara - The Lady From the Black Lagoon: Hollywood Monsters and the Lost Legacy of Milicent Patrick

Kurt Vonnegut - Player Piano

S. E. Hinton - The Outsiders (re-read)

The non-fiction comes in in the last third of the year. That's when Andrew got a new job where they're not working from home anymore. So we're no longer taking a lunch break together to watch a new-to-us sitcom episode every day. My lunches have now become the time to read non-fiction.

Overall, it was a year where I found myself mostly liking the stuff I was reading, which is very nice. Two that I really hated, but others which left me pleasantly surprised, and a few that absolutely slapped. 😌📚

[lboogie1906]

The Tuskegee Airmen were a group of African-American and Caribbean-born military pilots who fought in WWII. They formed the 332nd Fighter Group and the 477th Bombardment Group of the Army Air Forces. The name applies to the navigators, bombardiers, mechanics, instructors, crew chiefs, nurses, cooks, and other support personnel.

All African American military pilots who trained in the US trained at Moton Field, the Tuskegee Army Air Field, and were educated at Tuskegee University. The group included five Haitians from the Haitian Air Force and one pilot from Trinidad. It included a Hispanic or Latino airman born in the Dominican Republic.

March 22, 1942 - The first five cadets graduate from the Tuskegee Flying School: Captain Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. and Second Lieutenants Mac Ross,

Charles DeBow, L.R. Curtis, and George S. Roberts. They will become part of my the famous 99th Pursuit Squadron. List of Tuskegge Airmen.

[pacificgrimsarc]

"Of course," Asa couldn't help but smile at the mention of their son's unbreakable reading habit. "We should've known he'd read through his whole stash within two weeks." His eyes flickered to the pile of books stacked horizontally on the bookshelf in the living room, imagining Benny picking one up and, hours later, setting it down to create a new pile.

At one point, there were two piles—about a dozen chapter books of different, popular children's series and one-offs. Separately kept were a couple of animal and world encyclopedias, though the world one wouldn't be touched, Asa knew, unless Benny was really that bored. Now the main fiction pile had migrated over to the right, telling Asa only one thing, something he'd assumed: Benny had already finished reading everything he brought and, being the voracious reader he was, was now resorting to scouring around the Overlook for something different. Creatures of habit that we are, Benny likely found an earlier installment in his beloved Percy Jackson series—he was up-to-date—that he hadn't brought and decided to go down memory lane.

Little by little, Benny was growing into his father. Benny was barely 7 years old but reading above his grade level, grabbing books targeted at middle school-aged kids and long bored of his set of My First I Can Reads, even if he hadn't gotten to the better-known stories yet. Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? was growing dust back at home, and it wouldn't be long before Benny would graduate from Percy Jackson to Harry Potter and so on. Asa didn't have as many fun options when he was young—he started with the grim tales of V. C. Andrews when he turned 9—but the core was the same. Benny was smarter than all the other kids, and at points, smarter than his parents. Asa had been the same way, and it was what launched him into being a scholar—a professor at one of the Ivy League schools, a playwright who was coming off the heels of his well-attended debut one-man production. Life was going as he'd always imagined until

Six hours. Six hours. Six hours.

Six days. Six days. Six days.

Six fingers. Six fingers. Six fingers.

Benny doesn't need all 10

"Daddy!"

Asa felt a harsh tug on his coat sleeve. It was Benny. "Daddy! You said you were gonna go with me for this one." He pointed over at the sled, bouncing as he stood. Kids had no bones, it felt like. Asa could already feel his bones aching after one ride on this thing.

"Alright, ranger, I'm coming!" He laughed, swooping Benny up from his feet before he could run too far ahead. Asa sat on the sled first, then pulled Benny in between his legs. "Hold on tight," he told his son, who grabbed the handle at the front of the sled. They were atop one of the smaller hills that separated the hotel itself from the rest of the Overlook property; Asa could already see a long strip of no-snow that Benny had carved from his last few rides on the sled. How come Asa couldn't remember any of that?

Asa glanced over his shoulder at his wife, squinting one eye so he could see her past the snow. "You mind giving us a push, baby?" | @someotherdog

it wasn’t as if asa didn’t deserve his time to write. when the job opportunity came up—winter caretaker of the overlook hotel—nadine hadn’t wanted him to take it. though they never had to want for money with her real estate firm raking in millions yearly, her husband needed a sabbatical. he needed some isolation, some privacy. nadine needed one too, if she were to be honest. she sacrificed a lot for her career, and sometimes she sacrificed family for it. she worked long hours to support their family and, truthfully, to support her own ego. she felt good when she got to list a highly sought after property. she felt good when she saw the commission checks. she felt good until she saw the disappointment on her son’s face when she missed a soccer practice or a piano recital.

so, this was supposed to be good for all three of them. she had to push aside any reservations, like the loneliness that was sure to plague her. a reservation like all the snow they were going to endure, high up in the mountains where emergency services were only contactable through a radio. a reservation that, while the overlook was a beautiful hotel, it was also kind of… creepy. (though, to be fair, nadine didn’t figure that out until the beginning of week two when she could’ve sworn there were noises coming from room 237 or when she could’ve sworn she saw the retreating back of a stranger walking into the manager’s office.) she ignored everything to make asa happy because everyone tried to make nadine happy her entire life. it was her husband’s turn, so she’d turn up the tv on general hospital when there were strange noises coming from the room down the hall or pretend she didn’t see a child—one that wasn’t her own—peeking out from behind doorways. it was fine. it was fine! she was fine.

it didn’t help that asa seemed to disappear for hours at a time. she knew physically where he was, sitting at his laptop in the piano room for hours like a meditating monk, but he was nigh unreachable in that room. when he went to write, he went to another world. nadine could bang pots and pans together inches from his face and it was like she wasn’t even there. just hearing his voice then made her nearly jump out of her skin. turning away from the snowy tundra outside the window, she placed a soft smile on her face that nearly twitched after the mention of ullman—ugh, dastardly man. “that sounds like a great idea, honey. i’ll see if i can rouse him out of bed since the promise of waffles didn’t get him up—he found one of those percy jackson books in the billiards room and hasn’t stopped reading it for days.”
