HEAR ME OUT.

READER WANTING TO HAND OUT CANDY TO LITTLE KIDS 😭 LIKE EACH OC IS PROBABLY GONNA SAY NO BUT READER CONVINCES THEM SOMEHOW

Halloween special<3

Warnings: the three dirty yanderes being dirty as usual

Silas: 

Genuinely loves halloween, loves to scare little children for absolutely no reason at all. But he doesn’t want you to want to do the same thing — or whatever you wanted to do. He wants you to be with him only, dressed up for his eyes. He has never allowed kids to come for trick or treating, but you manage to convince him to leave out a bucket of candy this year. You sit curled up in the window in your costume, watching to see if any kids will come take from your prepared bucket. Time goes, but no one comes. 

“Don’t be sad, little thing. They’ve never been allowed to come here so they probably don’t know that they can come here this year. And I think that their parents know who I am, so they don’t want to send their kids over here anyhow. I know that you were excited, but this is the reality of being a criminal. Bring the bucket inside and we can overindulge. By the way, your costume turns me on.”

Dr Kry: 

Dr Kry has given you a little makeup to paint you into a vampire. You have a bucket of candy in your hand while Dr Kry brings you through the hospital to visit small children laying in their beds. He thinks that you’re adorable with kids and finds himself staring at you talking to a little boy. You pet his teddy bear and give him a chocolate bar before walking out of the room to go to the next. 

“You’re really nice, and great with kids … wow. Why I’m not dressed up? I don’t like that very much, but I like to see you dressed up. That fulfills my need of costumes for this year. Next year maybe. Let’s see how much candy you have left. Do you want to keep those for yourself or give them out? Give them out? You’re so nice, Y/N. Let’s move on. You need to go back to bed soon, so better hurry. Before the air and its toxins get to you.”

King Edmund: 

Halloween doesn’t exist in his timeline, but he decides to have a masquerade ball for kids and by your request, the doors standswide open for the entire kingdom. Parents of all classes came to drop of their kids in cute costumes. Edmund sits on his throne, watching over you and the fifty children in the big hall. He looks at you with a small smile, seeing how you take such good care of the little kids. While they dance, you go to get a bucket of candy. Edmund gets down from his throne and walks over to you. 

“It seems like you have quite the control, my dear. I can't understand how you like these creatures. Yes, I know I've been a kid and yes I know I'll have to have a kid in the future, but still. Look at them? You're doing great though. Keep doing that and I'll have to pump a child in you sooner than planned."

Jerry:

She refuses, but gives in once she gets to hear that she can scare the kids. Doesn't want to couple match because she finds it cringe, but if you're going to match, she wants to be superior to you like owner and dog or queen and peasant, or even cop and jailcriminal. 

"I'm going to scare so many fucking kids, this is going to be amazing. Don't give me that look. It's trick or treat! You give the treat and well … I do the trick. Stop being a baby, it'll be fun. We could do role-playing in these costumes, by the way. Just wait until we get back home. I'll show you what a queen does to the peasant who hasn't given crops to the castle."

Hedwig:

Of course she'll love it! She will buy too much candy and decorate the entire mansion for kids to come trick or treating. You'll be in adorable couple costumes (chosen by Hedwig of course) and have fun with the little kids. Hedwig shines every time she pretends to get scared by a little kid.

"You look really cute, Y/N. Do you like this? Imagine when we get kids, we can do this every year, create our own traditions. We can dress in family costumes and … and have really, really fun. You look really cute with kids, Y/N. But I’m starting to wonder if you like the candy more. It’s okay, we have a lot, sweetheart, just eat away.”

[ghostlywhiskey]

I know it’s post Halloween, but what was the Price family holiday like? Did they do a family costume? Did Price strategize with the boys so they could hit all the houses and maximize the candy amount?

no, because all the dad!price inboxes are making me SMILE.

i definitely think when the two of you are new parents to the first born, you’ll do a matching costume all together. but as they get older it’s a little harder to coordinate, each boy having a different fixation and interest - but this year the boys seemed to all agree on pirates. so, the three boys all dressed in various accessories from eye patches, swords - you name it. price fitting well into his roll as captain with the hat that sat on his head.

as for your daughter, since she was a newborn it was easier to dress her up in a bear onesie price had bought her one day. excited, he had come home with the little outfit in his hands and eager to put her in it. ‘little cub’ quickly becoming his new nickname for her. you on the other hand this year were far too tired to put effort into a costume. the only accessory decorating your body was price’s bucket hat - which your sons urged you to put on to look like a zoo keeper if their little sister was a cub.

the price boys gathered at the kitchen table while middle child doodles on a piece of paper. the various colors covering the page indicated different locations in your neighborhood. price, who stood near the table as the boys hunch over the table to look at the map, pointed to where they should start.

and as you held your daughter in your hands, standing in the door way as the boys of the house made their way down the walkway to the street. “be careful please.” you look at price, who turns to look down at you and his little girl.

“i’ll be with them the whole time,” he leans down to kiss your forehead. “stop worryin’ that pretty head.” he smiles before looking at your daughter who is reaching to tug at the ears of her onesie. “protect mommy while i’m gone.” her eyes glancing up at her father before a toothless grin forms on her face, hands now reaching for him. price chuckles, reaching to grab her tiny wrist to place a kiss into her palm.

“not sure how scary she’ll be protecting me.” you chuckle, kissing the little girls cheek before nodding towards the boys at the end of your front years. “c’mon, their waiting for their captain to lead them.” teasing, but lips met with his before he walks away, the kiss taking you by surprise.

“my treasure is in our bed tonight.” he murmurs, before heading to go trick or treating with the boys.

Okay, I really liked watching Angelina Ballerina as a child, but that was a long time ago. I'll accept that she's a monarchist, but I'll need to see some evidence first. This will break my heart :(

In reference to the monarchist animals post

I don’t know Jack about Shit regarding the animated series, but the books are perennial.

That mouse was absolutely gagging to align herself with the interests of monarchy; in fact her major concern was receiving sufficient attention for doing so. And as always she didn’t care who she had to shank to do it.

Although her author is American by birth, she emigrated to England; so while the mice have American things like Halloween trick or treating, the books are extremely English. Her grandparents have a narrowboat, which is strictly Uk and Ireland only.

I do admire Angelina for being so vividly unscrupulous; so clearly and selfishly single-minded in all her desires. She’s an excellent character. However, her books probably wouldn’t be popular in the modern publishing industry, because as a model of behaviour for the preschool audience, Angelina always does exactly the wrong thing in any given situation, treats people really badly, never apologises, demonstrates poor social behaviours, listens extremely selectively, and usually learns zero lessons from this. Combinations of luck, randomness and her exquisite selfishness usually combine to mean that at the end of each book, she gets loads of praise and attention anyway. It’s a mixed bag for the intended audience, who simply see the bratty, dangerous, careless, inconsiderate child being consistently rewarded for, at most, showing up. They also have to suffer the stress of watching this mouseling make shitty, dangerous decisions that they KNOW are the wrong move. It’s not just treating her grandparents like shit (which upset Bear,7, softhearted; and makes Bug, 4, slightly admire her; I occasionally worry about Bug’s moral centre) it’s when she actively does stupid things like actively losing her baby sibling trick-or-treating (Jesus Christ wtf Angelina) or lures her toddler cousin into a situation where they’re attacked by a cat (you should have died Angelina) or is just shitty and nasty to her friends. All very, very typical of 1980s type literature, but which is why I also called her “a bit of a little bitch tbh”.

I do genuinely like her a lot though. She’s just stressful. And too obsessed with princesses and princess behaviour

Hi!! Feel free to ignore, but I was just thinking about kid silver being adorable AND Halloween because of the upcoming event...and this thought was born—

(This is so long I'm sorry 😭😭)

So, Silver gets de-aged (bear with me here lol)—maybe due to a potions mishap or a spell gone wrong, it doesn't matter which. It's during Halloween week, so everyone's kinda frazzled due to everything being set up, etc. Lilia gets called to deal with it while Crewel tries to figure out a counter-potion/spell wears off because nobody can get in touch with Malleus, and therefore goes to Diasomnia's vice to help take care of Silver (not knowing that they're father & son).

Silver spots Lilia and yells "Papa!" while running to hug Lilia—while Lilia tries to cover up what Silver said. Regardless, he still picks Silver up and cuddles him—he's a silly old man who loves his kid, who can blame him?

Anyway, kid Silver hijinks ensue: running off with the animals on campus, taking naps surrounded by deer, birds, squirrels, etc., calling Malleus "big brother" and Lilia "papa" while around other Diasomnia students (they wouldn't say anything, because Malleus looks so endeared by the little human and Lilia glares and hisses *unknowingly* at any of them who DARE to interrupt their family).

Silver sees Sebek and looks back at Lilia. He's like, "Why did you make him so tall?? Papa, change him back, please!" *cue puppy eyes* he genuinely thinks Lilia pranked him. As much as Sebek says that he dislikes Silver's behavior, he's actually the one to take him everywhere. "You shouldn't miss so much school, Silver! I won't let you besmirch Waka-sama's good name!"

OK, but back to Halloween—Silver dresses up as a knight, or a prince. Maybe a unicorn??? DRAGON?? Any of them are cute tbh. Anyway, they end up going to each dorm to trick or treat (on Halloween night ofc) and Silver charms everyone, because he's Silver. Then, you have Lilia behind him just being the creepiest little demon fae you've ever had the misfortune to see...

As they're going to one of the dorms to get more candy, Silver sees another kid pouting at the lack of candy said dorm has, and their meager amount. Silver, despite having only a few more pieces himself, gives the kid most of his, and gives the other kid a hug. "There, there, you can have some of mine."

Honestly, you can do whatever you want with this, but I'd love to see this written out more coherently, if you want lol

I've been thinking about this for a while, and I NEED more kid Silver being cute and adorable and pure!! He deserves to be cuddled by his family and to eat candy :D

oh my goodness, this whole entire prompt was adorable and thank you for practically writing the premise into my inbox!! i'm not sure this is coherent.....or cuddly....but my mood with lilia has been in a pretty introspective place for sometime so i do hope you find something to enjoy :')

(and i did end up keeping that paragraph after so many of you seemed to like it akaldjll what do i know about anything)

for a fae as long-lived as he, the concept of time is an ephemeral thing. one does not count the years in a decade nor the decades in a century; a fae knows time by the erosion of a mountainside, by the loneliness of an abandoned settlement, or even by the chance meeting of a human wearing the face of another long since passed. 

silver fills his arms, helmet askew and heavy with satisfied slumber, and lilia feels the ache of every day that has gone by since he was last able to cradle his son so tenderly in his embrace. 

he may be the only fae that now minds his days by the sharpening of his son’s features, a change emerging far too quick and now, strangely, unwelcome.

beside him, serene, the heir apparent to the valley of thorns— looking most pleased himself in their resplendent costumes so artfully reminiscent of the admirable long, yet any dignified mysticism is rendered charmed by the plastic pumpkin bucket clutched in his crimson-tipped claws, brimming with brightly wrapped candy. the overflow is nearly double the amount given to the visiting children, even with silver eagerly dispensing his sugary treasures to any who asked, for no dorm had been able to resist his solemn request coupled with those adorably drowsy eyes and plastic sword when he had so politely asked for one piece more so that their prince might experience trick or treating for the first time. not wanting to be the dorm known for stiffing the fae heir on the most magic-blessed night of them all, both toddling knight and noble dragon walked away, tiny hand in careful claw, with a bounty piled high between them and matching smiles on their twin eager faces. 

lilia had been so torn over which to get a photo of first, cheeks aching from stifling his laughter; the vulnerable delight on malleus’ face as silver so kindly presented him with his share of candy, or sebek’s ill-disguised fussing as silver’s sword had slipped from its sheath to drag across the ground. 

what kindness to be able to share such precious memories with them once again.

what cruelty to remind him of what would disappear tomorrow morning, crewel’s antidote ready and waiting for them in the dorm. 

“...i can see why silver enjoyed such a night of festivity and why he spoke on those memories with you so fondly,” malleus’ reflective tone scatters his wandering thoughts, leaving him to pull his focus back to the present with no small amount of difficulty. “I wish i could have participated in the revelry, but i understand now why you might not have invited me, lilia. the presence of their prince would have dampened any carefree spirits, and i would not have wanted to spoil the fun.”

a wry smile tugs at his lips at malleus’ inaccurate assessment, crooked and out of place, and he can feel the prince’s gaze weighty upon him with surprise, brows furrowing and lips parting with the question on his tongue— 

there had been no such festivities, no happily shrieking village children for silver to scamper among, sharing in the night’s delights and trickery with all the innocence of youth. 

there had only been an old fool of a general, taking it upon himself to fumble through the recreation of a human spectacle, for no other reason than he could not bear the sight of the boy’s features even mildly unhappy. 

he might have wondered how far he could have fallen to find himself repeatedly affecting surprise as he opens the door time and time again to a giggling child, but he knows better now; he had always been steeped in a miserable, lonesome darkness, and to nurture the vulnerable child curled into his chest was to bask in an undeserving light. 

without consent, his arms tighten around the slumbering boy in his arms, and malleus is wise enough not to comment. 

“I do wonder if silver will be able to remember tonight’s events,” lilia comments lightly as they continue their walk to the dorm, seemingly apropos of nothing and unbothered by the watchful gaze of his young companion. 

and he wonders which is more selfish; to wish it so, to have his son’s head filled with such saccharine-sweet dreams of a proper halloween as only a sweet and darling boy like none other deserves— or to cling to the lonely truth of the past, in which a bruised and battered soldier finds a purpose too kind for his bloodied hands in protecting that high and clear laughter of his child, delighting over and over again in the simple fact of his father opening the door.

Hudson and Orion have been looking forward to Halloween for a long time because they're both big fans of dressing up. This year, the family costume is relatively simple, but there's no better way than to be dressed in comfy onesies and be dressed as the care bears together.

''Will we go twick or tweating, Mommy?'' Orion asks as she lets you put on her little sweater, wiggling into it before her head pops out with a big smile.

''Of course we will, Baby Girl!'' you say before pinching her chubby cheeks, earning yourself a little shriek from her.

''No, Mommy!'' she giggles before brushing your hands away, and you can't help but laugh at her energy, and you pick her up to put her on your hip. Hudson's already dressed and has a bottle of warm milk with Tony so she can join them on the big couch.

''How are my two favorite men doing?'' you ask as you walk into the living room, and Hudson instantly gets a big smile as he sees you. Yeah, it's safe to say you're his favorite parent.

''We're doing great, aren't we, Buddy?'' Tony says as he looks at Hudson, who nods happily while he keeps drinking his milk.

''Right, you can both cuddle with Daddy for a bit, and I'm getting ready for trick or treating,'' you tell Orion, and you grab her bottle from the table where Tony put it down not too long ago.

''Love you, Sunshine,'' Tony says before you give him a soft kiss, and he settles down with both kids on his lap, enjoying cuddles with them.

It takes you only a short time before you're dressed, which is the perfect timing because Orion and Hudson are ready to go trick-or-treating.

Hudson makes grabby hands at you, and you pick him up from Tony's lap with a deep sigh, acting like it was the heaviest task ever, and he giggles loudly at your antics.

''Not heavy, Mommy!'' he tells you, and in response, you put him above your head to make him fly, which makes him shriek loudly. You're enjoying this while it lasts because, as always, these moments won't last forever.

''Do you have your buckets? Because it is time to trick or treat!'' Tony asks them, and with a loud cheer from both of them and a swing with their buckets, they walk out the door, both held by either of you.

They're not too big yet, so you only trick-or-treat in your street, but they have yet to learn that. For now, it's all still a lot of fun, and everyone on your road coos over the twins as always, which you understand entirely.

At the last house, your neighbor's house, your heart completely melts.

''Twick-or-tweat Auntie Tuna!'' they say, and your older neighbor Petunia melts at their sight. She's well in her 70s now, but she always gives the twins treats when they see her, which has quickly made her the favorite of everyone.

''Don't you all look like the perfect family? I can not stop looking at all of you!'' she says, and the twins cheery happily when she puts a few candies in each of their buckets.

''Thank you, Auntie Tuna!'' the twins say in unison, and your hearts are melting. You look at Tony, and he seems like he could not be any prouder of his kids, and in all honesty, neither could you.

They always bring a smile to everyone's faces without a single problem, warming everyone's hearts. The two are precious, and you love them to absolute pieces.

''Shall we go home and eat some candies before bed? Not too many, or you will bounce off the wall tonight!'' Tony jokes, and they nod before waving to Petunia and returning to your house.

They both get one piece of candy from their buckets; the rest will be spent eating over the next few weeks as treats so they don't eat everything all at once.

''Alright, Munchkins, Daddy will bring you two to bed tonight, and you get to read two stories together! How does that sound?!'' you ask, and they cheer, but you can tell they're already getting sleepy.

''I'll set up everything for the party, okay? You can take your time with them; they might appreciate that,'' you tell Tony, and he agrees.

It doesn't take long for the both of them to go down, and slowly but surely, the people for your little get-together are arriving too. It's pretty simple but just a way for people from the neighborhood to get together and socialize.

The first to arrive is your neighbor Petunia, and even though you always invite her, she usually declines. You're both surprised she decided to come by, but you welcome her with open arms.

''Thank you for coming by,'' you tell Petunia as you bring her to the big armchair in the living room. Tony starts a conversation with her about the kids, and only a short time after, more people are coming in.

Most people are wearing funny costumes, and the night goes by in an uneventful manner, but once it's time for Petunia to go home, you offer to walk her home.

''Thank you, dear, I would appreciate that, especially now that it is dark outside,'' she says. Since you moved into the house next to hers, you have formed a strong bond with her.

''You're a lucky woman, Y/N. With a fiancé like Tony and two kids like that? You all remind me of my husband Michael and my kids,'' she says, and you tear up a little.

''Thank you, Petunia, and I'm sorry we never had the chance to meet Michael or your kids, but I know they would have been just as amazing as you are,'' you tell her, and she smiles.

''Have a good evening, my dear, and wish Tony my best in his new role,'' she says, and with a comforting pat on your cheek, she heads inside, and you turn back to your own house and the get-together.

''Hey, Sunshine,'' Tony says as you walk back into the house and capture your lips in a sweet kiss.

''Hi, My Love,'' you say, giving him Petunia's message before mingling with the others. By the time it's nearly 1 AM, everyone has gone home, and you're cleaning up before heading to bed.

''Are you okay, Sunshine? You seem a little out of it ever since you brought Petunia home,'' Tony asks as he sits down on the armchair, pulling you sideways onto his lap.

You sigh deeply as you let your head fall against his shoulder, his arms pulling you flush against him.

''It's just... Earlier, Petunia said how much we remind her of Michael and her sons, and I couldn't help but think what it would be like if I were all alone at that age,'' you say between a few soft sniffles and Tony's hand comfortingly rubs your arm.

''I know we sadly never got to meet them due to the car accident that took their lives, but I can't stop thinking about how lonely she must be,'' you say, and you can't stop yourself from crying.

Tony's also fighting against his tears, but he's losing the battle, just like you are. You and Tony decide here and now that you will visit her or let her visit you at least twice a week.

''I think she'd enjoy that,'' you tell him, and he wipes your tears away before placing a soft kiss on your forehead. The two of you stay like that for a little while, in complete silence; just each other's presence is enough right now.

''Let's go to bed, Sunshine; we can finish cleaning in the morning,'' he says, and you nod, letting Tony carry you upstairs and tuck you into bed before sliding in behind you.

''Sleep well, Sunshine; I love you so much,'' Tony whispers before pulling you against his chest, where you happily snuggle into your usual spot.

The following day, you wake up after a restless night of sleep, but you can't think about it for too long because you can hear the twins talking to each other over the baby monitor.

''I'll go, My Love; I can use some Munchkin love right about now,'' you say, and he nods, though he gets up to shower. You walk into the twins' bedroom, and they cheer sleepily when they see you.

''Hi, my little Munchkins! How did you both sleep?'' you ask before scooping Hudson out of his bed and sitting on Orion's. She climbs into your lap as well, and you cuddle with the both of them for as long as possible.

''I love you two so much, and I don't know what I would ever do without the two of you,'' you tell them, tears rolling over your cheeks again.

''No being sad, Mommy,'' Hudson says, and he gives a big open-mouthed kiss on your right cheek, and Orion does the same on your left, which makes you giggle happily.

''Love you, Mommy,'' Orion says as she snuggles into you, and Hudson does the same. Once they're settled, they grab each other's hand again, and all three of you stay like that for a bit.

Tony was done with his shower, and the towel was hanging low on his hips, water droplets still falling off his hair and onto his shoulders and face.

He's leaning against the doorframe as he looks at all three of you cuddled up like that, and he couldn't feel more grateful to have all three of you in his life. He, too, wouldn't know what to do without all of you.

''Shall we let Daddy in on the cuddle too, or does he need to dry off first?'' you whisper to the twins, and they tell him to dry off before he can get cuddles.

''Alright, I'll be right back!'' he says, and he quickly dries off and jumps into a pair of sweatpants before grabbing his glasses and hurrying back to the twins' bedroom.

''Who's ready for Daddy cuddles?!'' he exclaims, and Hudson and Orion cheer in their happiest voices, making you laugh. You make some room for Tony on the bed, and once everyone is settled, the four of you sit there in silence, safe for the occasional giggle from one of the twins.

''I love you all, and I can't believe I'm lucky enough to call all of you my family,'' you tell them, pulling everyone a tad closer, and then it's ready to start the day.

Lilia Info Compilation part 6: Lilia and Silver

Silver explains that in his younger days, “it never occurred to me just how much he did to keep me safe”, and shares an anecdote from when he was a child and he tried to cook on his own: After falling asleep with the stove burning, Lilia came home to a burnt mess of a soup and a panicking Silver.

Riddle asks if Silver was scolded, and Silver responds that no, his father was just glad he was unharmed, that failure was the mother of all success, it was okay as long as he learned something—and then ate the ruined mess of a meal. Silver says he is “proud to be his son”.

We learn that Lilia’s love of travel used to lead him to taking extended trips, leaving Silver alone in the cabin they shared from when he was as young as ten.

During one of these trips when he was away for two weeks, 10-year-old Silver managed to befriend a bear in his absence.

Lilia continues to fill his role as Silver’s only parent at NRC as well, recommending that he broaden his horizons rather than eat the same mushroom risotto every day (“I haven’t the faintest idea why I should care about any of this”, he says of Silver’s love of the dish).

While their relationship isn’t open at NRC, the other students seem low-key aware that the two are close, with Cater commenting that Lilia loves to spoil Silver, Lilia is “always taking it upon himself to teach Silver something or other” and Kalim saying that he does see them together a lot.

Trey comments that “it feels like most of what he’s teaching him is utter nonsense”. Silver does his best to act in Lilia’s stead during the Phantom Bride event despite Malleus’ assurance that he does not mind being on his own and lists off the requisites of a perfect prince to Epel, as taught to him by Lilia: “Whenever a princess sings, a prince runs to join her in perfect harmony”, “His teeth must be so pearly white they sparkle in the sunlight”, “A prince always shows up riding a white horse”.

Lilia shows no mercy during Beanfest despite their relationship, however, first using Silver as bait and then physically overpowering him into submission.

We hear a little more about their pre-NRC life together during Halloween, where Lilia explains that, as they lived too far away for Silver to be able to trick-or-treat anywhere, he would have Silver knock on their own front door, over and over again, for candy, which he delighted in.

Malleus expresses jealousy at this shared experience of which he had been unaware.

Silver explains in a vignette that “without Malleus and Lilia I wouldn’t be standing here today. I simply want to repay my debt to them”, that he would “train with Sebek, and sometimes Malleus would sneak out and visit us” and that Lilia and Malleus “have been looking out for me for as long as I can remember”, insinuating that Malleus has been a part of Silver’s life for maybe as long as Lilia himself.

Silver says that he “lived in the same cabin with my father all my life” and, besides occasional visits by Sebek and Malleus, his “only companions were the forest creatures. I even studied at home instead of attending school”, insinuating that he was homeschooled by Lilia.

While we do not know exactly how old Silver was when Lilia adopted him (or how Lilia acquired him in the first place), Silver very well may have been an infant: in a vignette, Lilia explains that his “true forte lies in lullabies” and that “the secret is to pepper the performance with random shrieks and shouts”.

When Cater questions this, Lilia says “they snored very peacefully”. Kalim asks if Lilia has siblings who are much younger than himself, and Lilia says “No, not siblings. But I have lived with babies.”

We see both Silver and Sebek running errands to the school store for Lilia throughout different vignettes: Silver for ink and general shopping, and Sebek for pudding.

Harbinger Halloween headcanons bc I want to and you can’t stop me

Pierro-

He doesn’t dress up bc he’s old and boring. The other harbingers try to trick him into it, but he’s too clever. Dottore resorts to dumping a creation of his (bright pink hair dye) on his head. This year he decided to wear a polar bear fur cape and call it a day.

Dottore-

His clones dress up as various things, but sometimes they all dress as the other harbingers bc they find it funny. They sometimes resort to stealing clothes and shoes.

Signora did not find it funny.

They also leave fun ‘surprises’ around the palace. For legal reasons, they are fake and no one was harmed in the creation of the decorations.

Columbina-

Biblically accurate angel. She’s more interested in dressing up everyone else than wearing a costume, so she usually teams up with Sandrone and Pantalone to torment Tartaglia

Capitano-

Varka

Pulcinella-

Usually some sort of fantasy creature. He takes suggestions from Childe’s siblings when he brings them candy for Halloween. When Childe was younger, they used to both dress up so you couldn’t see their faces and Pulcinella would make Childe go trick-or-treating so he could “feel like a normal kid”

In more recent years, it’s been to entertain Childe’s siblings since he’s usually out of the country.

Scaramouche-

Refused to dress up until he saw Pierro‘s new hairstyle. He claimed he “refuse[d] to look like that pink fox bitch”

After that, he started dressing like people he didn’t like as a type of threat. Dottore has been the victim most years.

Sandrone-

She has a very cute gothic style. She enjoys dressing up, but is usually more interested in dressing up her puppets. She, along with Columbina and Pantalone, always tries to trick Tartaglia into whatever outfit they’ve planned.

Years of her trying to gauge his measurements has led Childe to believe that she hates him and is always glaring at him.

Signora-

She would always commission high fashion masks and jewelry. She claimed she didn’t care for Halloween, but she always wanted to be the spectacle.

She and Pantalone would compete for who had the most extravagant costumes.

Pantalone-

Like Signora, he always felt the need to go all out. He throws a ball every year for those of high stature across the seven nations.

Allegedly, a noble from Mondstadt was once banned from Snezhnaya after accidentally getting drunk and lighting Pantalone’s expensive cloak on fire with his vision.

He usually makes a dramatic show of flaunting his wealth and making sure rumors of his grandeur spread to Liyuen merchants. He claims it’s coincidental, but the invitation to a Halloween ball slid under the door of Yansheng Teahouse was not.

He works with Sandrone and Columbina on a ‘project’ every year around this time. What the project is is classified, but the “”NFTs”” he sells on the Snezhnayan black market are more than enough to fund his parties.

Arlecchino-

Columbina is responsible for getting her to dress up most of the time. If you asked Arlecchino was her outfit was, usually she wouldn’t be able to tell you.

Her costumes tend to be sexy-died versions of ancient beings, but that’s for only Columbina to know.

Tartaglia-

For years he claimed he only dressed up to amuse his siblings, but his first Halloween outside of Snezhnaya he was forced to admit that he just enjoyed doing it

Some part of him enjoys feeling like a kid again, since he lost his childhood so quickly, though he would never admit it.

His costume last year was a werewolf courtesy of Liyue’s number one ghost expert.

The past few years, he could’ve sworn Pantalone was following him around with a kamera, but he can’t prove it.

He also sometimes gets costume suggestions taped to the inside of his door, much to the chagrin of Pulcinella.

Holiday (bonus points if it's Halloween) / GPP

"Everyone ready?" Willie called from their room.

"Why are we doing a costume reveal again?" Carrie griped.

"Because it's fun!" Kayla exclaimed. "You remember fun right Care Bear?"

"I am plenty fun, thank you very much," was Carrie's reply.

"Yeah you are doll face!" Reggie shouted, and they could all hear the leer in his voice.

"Let's get on with it, I'm already regretting my life choices," Alex said.

Doors opened, and everyone emerged, and immediately, Willie laughed. "Yes, no one doubled this year!" At Kayla's confused expression, he explained. "Last year Luke and Reggie were both Han Solo."

"I was totally the beter Han," Luke grumbled, "But I let Reg have it."

"You made an equally cute cowboy," Julie assured him with a kiss to his cheek.

"Not as cute as Alex is this year!" Willie exclaimed.

"Excuse you, I am Ken," Alex replied, tilting his hat. "At your insistence, may I add."

"Well yeah, because you refused to be Alan," Willie replied, adjusting his red wig.

"I am so glad I decided to not go as Barbie," Carrie stated, though she had still stuck to her favourite colour palate in her Glinda the Good Witch costume, mirroring Kayla in her Elphaba get up; all green and black.

"You would have made a terrific Barbie," Flynn assured her, fixing her eyeliner in the mirror, her sparkly Cinderella dress leaving traces of glitter everywhere as she did.

"We ready for the party?" Julie asked, straightening her tight red dress and ensuring her horns were right.

"Ready as we'll ever be," Luke replied, blowing the blonde fringe out of his eyes. "Though next time I insist on going as Cobain, someone tell me to get a better wig."

"At least you look good with the facial hair," Reggie offered, picking at the fake little moustache he was sporting. "Cary Elwes should have words with the costume designer for this atrocity."

"Well you aren't allowed to grow a real one," Julie stated. "Not after last time."

There was a collective shudder. "You looked like a math teacher," Aex quipped.

"Yeah yeah, yuk it up," Reggie grumbled. "See if I share any of my discount candy tomorrow with you."

"I liked the goatee," Kayla stated.

"You can have the Tootsie pops then," Reggie replied.

"Sweet, those are my favourites anyways," Kayla replied.

"Ew, no one likes Tootsie pops," Carrie said, scrunching up her nose.

"I do."

"Your taste is questionable," Carrie argued back.

"I'm with you aren't I?"

Carrie hummed and pulled her in for a kiss. "You are, so for that I can forgive your awful taste in candy."

"Let's go lesbians," Flynn said, offering her arms to the girls. "And the rest of you queers as well."

"To the party!" everyone chorused.

"So... no to trick or treating at the fancy mansions along the way?" Reggie asked.

In the end, they may of hit up just a few houses. Hey, twas the season after all!

Plus, it meant full sized bars and gourmet chips, which no one was gonna turn down, not even Carrie.

[shattered-glasswork]

WITCHES AND TEDDY BEARS:

I didn't really understand what was happening. Now that I think about it I never did.

One moment, mommy was making lunch for me and bubba, and the next she was screaming. I ran to the kitchen to see what was going on, when a plate narrowly missed my head and instead collided with the wall.

This happened sometimes, mommy would be surrounded by green fog and she wouldn't stop yelling. My bubba was huddled up in the corner, he was scared of her, and I'd never admit it but so was I...

...

I couldn't stop the tears rolling down my face, I knew it was pathetic, real Romans don't cry, but I just couldn't stop. You see it's halloween; And while you might be thinking Why are you crying on halloween it's supposed to be fun. Well it's not. I've always spent the holidays alone, everyone either thinks I'm weird, crazy or both. And you know what, they're right. I'm just Octavian, the weird teddy bear killer that even his own family doesn't want or like. Sitting alone in the first cohort after almost killing himself to stop Gaia, demoted to probato from centurion. So yeah, I think I will just sit here and cry. It's not like anyone cares where I'm at Knock Knock

I was about 8 when he left. We were playing in the backyard. Hide and seek if I remember correctly. It was my turn. I turned around and began counting 1...2...3...4 when I heard the fence rattle. At the time I'd thought nothing of it after all why would I? 18....19...20. "Ready or not, here I come!!" I exclaimed with excitement, I had loved this game as a young child, although he was always better at it. When I opened my eyes I already knew something was wrong, but I looked anyway. "Be back in time for lunch" that was the last thing mother ever said to him. After that nothing was the same again.

…

I looked up at the door quickly wiping the tears from my eyes and called out "come in", Embarrassed by how my voice quivered and broke in a few places. I knew who was at the door before they ever opened it. The smell of pine cones and dirt gave him away, my mate, Bryce Lawrence. My suspicions were only confirmed when he walked through the door dressed in a Purple tux that fanned out around the hips and with black pointed shoes and a large witches hat to top it all off. I won't lie, he looked cute.... But that's not the point. "Are you okay..." "yes." I lied effortlessly. "No you're not, I can see the tears on your face" shit I scrambled for an excuse. "But anyways, why are you here? Shouldn't you be out trick or treating" I asked him hoping that he'll leave me alone "I came to get you" I paused for a moment "wha-" is all I can manage to get out still try my hardest not to cry again.

…

I was woken up by the sound of howling. "Luke, they're here for you!" my mother called out from across the house. My name isn't Luke, but it's easier to play along. I walked down the old and creaky stairs to the front door where my mother was standing at the door, eyes clouded but not yet unseeing. At the door was Lupa, I had heard of her, the mother of Remus and Romulus, trainer of Roman demigods and now.... It's my turn.

…

"You didn't think I was going without you, Right?" I hesitated "well.... Yeah" I told him my face was still red from crying "No you're coming with me" I looked up at him with misty eyes "nobody wants me there" "I do" He stated firmly "you're coming with me babe" I started to stutter out a response. "Fine..." I reluctantly agreed despite knowing I had no choice in the matter. He smirked down at me "I have the perfect costume for you" "should I be scared?" he grinned "maybe"

…

Training was hard but I knew I would get through it. I had to get to camp Jupiter or this struggle was for nothing. My thoughts were running wild as I ate what I had caught earlier today. There were other children here, all of them bigger and older than me but I never gave up. We had to fight to earn our place in the legion and I sure wasn't going to let that pass me by

…

"Are you serious?" I mumbled while glaring up at Bryce "you think this is funny?" "maybe." He teased, reaching down to ruffle my hair. "Aww come on, you look cute!" "don't lie to me" "I'm not!" he laughed at the pissed off expression that I undoubtedly had on my face "Plus it's Ironic" I couldn't help but chuckle at that. He was right it was pretty ironic dressing up as the very thing a dismember for my job. "You look adorable as a teddy bear" "shut up" I said as I did my makeup. I Took a glance at myself in the mirror when I was done. I haven't worn makeup in a long time, shaking the thought away. I glanced down at the probato tablet hanging from my neck and tucked it into my shirt. "Are you ready?" Bryce called from the other room "Coming!" I shouted back.

…

I was on my way to camp Jupiter. It had been about a week since I left the wolf house. I was tired, dirty and beat up but my determination never faltered. Stealing had become a necessity, I didn't like it, but you do what you have to do. The only weapon I had with me was an imperial gold dagger that I got from my mothers house before I left, It had come in handy Although I hated having to use it. I'm not a fighter, bone thin, no real training or skill. Coming up with plans and strategies had always been my strong suit but I can manage a bit longer.

and we were walking down the streets of new rome, Bryce trailing a bit in front of me swinging his basket back and forth dropping candy that I happily picked up. "Let's go to that one!" The volume of his voice startled me at first until I registered his suggestion. "Sure, why not?" I looked at him and held out my hand, fully prepared to be laughed at. "Do you want to hold my hand?" he asked in a teasing manner making my cheeks heat up "u...uh no what are you t..talking about!!" I stated, embarrassed. He smirked at me and grabbed my hand making me look up at him in confusion "I thought you didn't want to?" "I never said that," he replied and we walked up to the door. "Ding Dong "Trick or treat!

"I was falling and the only thing I could think of is why? I don't remember doing anything wrong. ** It had been a month since I was put in the first cohort. I was living with my aunt who, in hindsight, never really liked me. She was always glaring or barking orders, bullying others, and demanding to be treated like a queen. It only got worse when she learned of my blessing from Apollo. "Cursed child...just like his mother...stuck with it" I would hear her mumble under her breath. "OCTAVIAN!!" she yelled from across the house. "I'm coming!" I shouted back. I walked upstairs and opened the door to her room "Do you need me for some..." *Smack" I fell to the floor stunned, confused and frightened as she put her foot on my face and pressed down with her heel. "How fucking dare you!" "I take you in and THIS is how you repay me!!" "I..I don't know what you're talking about" I stutter out tears forming in my eyes "Yes you do!!" "you broke my lamp post with your stupid game!" Now I knew what she was talking about, but it wasn't me. She had broken it in a fit of rage at her husband when she threw it at him. "B..but I didn't" I cried as she yanked me up by my hair "So now you're lying to me" "I've been meaning to get rid of you anyways." she growled under her breath. As she dragged me into the car. We drove out to the middle of nowhere and walked into a creepy looking temple. The floor was missing and the pit seemed to emit a strange pull, magnifying anything near it. I looked back at my aunt who was smiling with a sick look in her eyes "what are we doing here...?" I asked "you will see" and she pushed me in.

We were the first ones back from trick or treating, cuddled up on the couch eating the candy we had gotten and watching a movie. I was curled up on my mate's lap and he was gently stroking my hair. He will claim that I was chirping, but that's ridiculous, I would never. It had been a good night. We each got a trash bag full of candy and bought a few monsters (the drink dumbasses) from the mortal dollar store. I moved my head to look up at him "If I asked you to go somewhere with me and not ask questions would you?" "Yes?" Bryce replied somewhat cautiously "Great, let's get going!" I hopped up off the couch and grabbed my mate's arm as he got up. I brought him to an old house that looked as if it hadn't been used in years. "What is this place?" he asked me "I said no questions." We walked throughout the old hallways and up the stairs until we got to the only well kept room in the house. It was a bedroom with a twin sized bed in the comer, bookshelves lining the walls all the way to the ceiling, a hammock with stuffed toys and a carpet in the middle of the room. "Who's room is this?" Bryce finally spoke up. "mine" I grabbed his hand "do you not live with the rest of your family?" he asked, squeezing my hand tighter and pulling me into a side hug. "They didn't want me around" not like a want them around either "Julia is the only one who knows I'm still alive, I asked her not to tell the others." he was silent for a moment "I'm sure nobody would notice a disappearance on halloween" his signature smile creeping onto his face and putting a hand on his sword sheath. "Thanks for the offer, but let's not get kicked out already" to which he booed and pouted like a child. He's so sweet. He's so sweet. my heart did somersaults when he did something so simple as meet my eyes. I moved my hand up to caress his face and leaned into his chest as his hands moved to my waist and pulled me against him. We moved to sit on the bed. Everyone at camp hated us, but I could deal with anything as long as he's by my side. Corny, I know but it's true. I curled up in his lap "I love you..."

[boots-with-the-fur-club]

A special birthday crossover written for @daboyau!! It’s another between my Mama Bear AU and their Leave AU where Julia is taking care of the boys. Go wish them a happy birthday!! I owe you a lot bestie, here’s to many more birthdays as friends!!

Mikey’s smile is wide as he twirls around in his costume. He can’t stop looking in the mirror. Julia made the costumes for him and his brothers herself. It encouraged them to think of exactly what they wanted instead of looking at prices or the simplest ideas.

Leo had found a love for pirates after seeing both Jupiter Jim and Lou Jitsu movies about them. Julia may or may not have let slip that a certain skeleton restaurant owner had a past relating to the topic. Now Leo looks just like the single photo Hueso agreed to share about it.

Raph was a little anxious when he came to Julia about his costume. At first, he said he couldn’t think of anything and wanted Julia to choose. She told him he had plenty of time to think. Eventually, he shyly admitted that he wanted to be a bear like her. She knew there was still more, but still made it for him. When she saw the excited, but still somewhat sad look on his face, she encouraged him to tell her what he really wanted.

That’s how he got to be a bear fairy princess.

Donnie was a lot more fickle about the costume. Julia asked about his favorite characters, but each one garnered more frustration from the softshell. She tried to tell him that he didn’t have to dress up at all if that’s what he preferred, that only succeeded in causing him to storm off into his room and slam the door.

It took several hours for him to calm down. He approached Julia while she was in her chair in the living room with tears in his eyes and guilt written all over his face. Donnie apologized and told her he was angry at himself, not at her. He saw a mad scientist in a musical and wanted that to be his costume so badly.

But he couldn’t bring himself to say so.

Those two things were basically ruined for them all. They cause so much trauma, even now. He had felt incredibly bad that he wanted it at all. That he must be a terrible person, just like Draxum.

Julia held him and insisted that liking something that someone bad in your life did does not mean you’re similar to them. It sometimes can be a good sign that they don’t have control over you anymore.

Donnie was still terrified that his brothers would hate him, or worse, be scared of him. Julia promised that with his permission she could talk to them and see how to make it work. He very hesitantly agreed.

Julia went to the others and made a plan. They each helped make different pieces of the costume so they could get used to looking at it and know there was nothing to be scared of.

They all surprised him with it one day and he nearly started crying again. He wore it for hours afterwards.

Mikey chose to be what he’s always wanted to be.

A hero.

His suit mainly has orange and white, but his cape has orange, blue, red, and purple. Now that Draxum…isn’t around anymore….the most important thing in the world is his family and keeping them happy, safe.

Exactly what heroes do!

Julia makes the job a lot easier, but heroes never work alone anyways.

The doorbell rings.

“Boys, our special guest is here!” Julia announces.

The four of them rush to the door with excitement. She had told them that she knew someone who was visiting the human world for the first time and that she had a nephew around their age. They decided to have a join trick or treating excursion.

It would be the first top side Halloween for all of them.

Julia manages to get the door open despite how they crowd around it. The turtles see two rabbit yokai in front of them, an older woman and a boy their age. The boy and Leo look each other up and down immediately before smiling widely and shouting in unison.

“You’re a pirate too!”

Julia and Usagi’s aunt share a chuckle. This wasn’t planned in the slightest but it seemed to make the two boys very happy.

“Your bandana is so cool! And your eyepatch!” Usagi compliments.

“I got them both from a real pirate!” Leo brags.

“Wow, amazing! And you guys look awesome too! My name’s Usagi Yuichi! Oh, but um, I’m from Japan so Yuichi is my first name. You’d still call me Usagi because you only say the first name if we’re friends BUT I think we are friends so….call me either!” He smiles.

Donnie immediately thinks about the fact that he’d never survive anything they’ve been through, especially not a day with Draxum. He also thinks that it’s nice that someone wants to be friends this soon and that his brother is happy.

“Yuichi, I am Donnie. I welcome you to the group. Stay on my designated candy route and I promise our bags will weigh pounds.”

“Aye aye, captain!” He salutes.

Donnie feels a little proud.

“I’m Mikey and this is Raph. It’s nice to meet you!” Mikey beams.

“It’s nice to meet you two too! Your cape’s colors are so nice and Raph, I really like your wings!”

Raph smiles.

“Thank you. Anything that happens out there, you can count on me to protect you.”

“I can do it too! I’ve been practicing with my sword.” Usagi takes out his foam sword and whirls it around.

Leo gets even more excited and takes his out too. They fight together while giggling until one of them gets stabbed and pretends to die a dramatic death. It still is a little uncomfortable to think about death, but the fun washes the feeling away a bit.

Julia and Usagi’s aunt finally get everyone out the door and out to where the other trick or treaters are.

Usagi’s ears twitch excitedly, his foot thumping on the ground as well. The boys are in awe at seeing all the costumes and other kids. They’re not very scared of anything since they’ve seen much worse, but the decorations are still cool.

Donnie leads the way to the specific houses that will get them maximum amounts of candy.

The first house is a bit of a trial run in terms of what to do and say.

“Trick or treat!” Is the phrase they get correct.

“Oh! What wonderful costumes! A turtle, bear, and a fairy princess all in one? So special! Why don’t you all take a full sized bar?” The man offers.

Mikey, Donnie, Leo, and Usagi each take one and say thank you.

“I love you.” Is what Raph says.

Julia covers her mouth to stifle laughter and reminds Raph what the correct phrase is. Raph apologizes but also gets his group another, smaller piece of candy.

From there the fun continues.

Their costumes are a big hit with the rest of the houses on the route. The people compliment the mixing of animal and regular “costumes” made the boys feel better about themselves. Maybe if they saw them like this on a normal day they wouldn’t yell in fear.

Not that they’d want to find out yet.

One yard they visit even has a photo booth. They spend a long time taking some in different, silly poses. There’s two copies of the photos that they split, one for the turtles to share and one for Usagi to take back with him.

The trick or treating continues until everyone begins feeling tired. At that point, Julia invites Usagi’s aunt to come over for her and Usagi to eat. She was going to feed the boys anyways so they wouldn’t be too inclined to fill themselves up in just candy.

Usagi’s aunt accepts and they all go back to Julia’s house.

The turtles show off their rooms to Usagi while Julia and Usagi’s aunt cook together.

Donnie had taken over Luke’s old room with his permission to use whatever was leftover in there. This led to weaponry at first before Julia encouraged him to build more fun things. It took a while to be able to understand that he now actually had a choice in what he invented, but eventually each of his brothers had a toy robot they kept in their rooms. Donnie also has a lot of posters and some games for a slightly older game system that he made upgrades to.

Raph’s room is nearly filled to the brim with comfort items and delicate colors. He and Julia went yard sale shopping for a lot of the stuffed animals, but others were made by them together. Raph wanted second hand plushies because he felt like they deserved another chance like he got. He’s very protective of all of them, especially the ones that remind him of his brothers. He also has wrestling posters, big, fluffy comforters on his bed, and fairy lights.

Leo’s room is cluttered with different sport and hobby items. He was given a lot of room to figure out what he likes doing and if he wanted to do it just for fun or on a team. So far he’s playing basketball, being a mascot for football, and trying out playing the guitar. He was terrified to try anything at first. Julia worked with him at recipes she wasn’t good at to help him see that if she isn’t perfect, she doesn’t expect him to be either.

Mikey’s room has drawings and paintings covering nearly every surface. It was one of the hobbies that Leo tried but didn’t like. Mikey picked it up and never put it back down. It’s something Draxum would have never let him do. There’s no use for it in a war. For a soldier. Always a soldier, never a poet, never the fan blade, always-no. Not anymore. It’s different now. It’s been different. They’re truly living their lives now without the threat of them being taken away.

Usagi had a blast looking around in each of them. They played with some items in Leo’s room, listened to Raph name all his beats in his, colored in Mikey’s, and Donnie showed off the marshmallow shooter he assembled.

Finally, they were all called to wash up and eat.

“Whoever washes their hands first wins!” Usagi shouts before scrambling to run.

Everyone else chases after him and the group burst into giggles when they don’t all fit in at once.

Mikey manages to squirm his way inside, freeing everyone else but also allowing him a head start. He washes his hands and triumphantly raises them as the victor. Leo pats his head with a smile before the rest of them also get their hands clean.

After that, they all sit down at the table. Julia and Usagi’s aunt had made fettuccine Alfredo, salad, and garlic bread. The group excitedly talks about everything they saw and did in between eating.

Once everyone is done, Julia and Usagi’s aunt take care of the dishes after telling the boys to go ahead and take a look at their candy.

They all sit around and begin trading with each other.

Donnie stares pretty hard at a pineapple scented pencil Usagi has in his pile. He’s very aware that it should be less valuable than something edible but he really likes the scent and he can smell it while designing if only he had it!

Sadly, he’s out of candy that Usagi said he likes.

Usagi see this and picks up the pencil, holding it out to him.

“I….don’t have anything you’d want for it.”

“That’s okay, you looked like you really wanted it.”

Donnie is flabbergasted at the fact that Usagi wouldn’t rather use that as some kind of leverage again him.

What kind of strategy is that?

It’s not one.

Usagi doesn’t think like a soldier.

He’s just nice.

And….that itself…..is nice too.

Donnie shakes one hand in excitement while using his other hand to take the pencil. He feels a little self conscious when Usagi looks at it, but is surprised when Usagi does it too.

It’s not in a mean way, it looks genuine.

“I do that when I’m happy too!” Usagi smiles.

Donnie smiles back and shakes both hands while they laugh.

At the end of the dishes, Usagi’s aunt and Julia are met with five extremely sleepy boys.

Usagi’s aunt moves his candy into his basket and picks both it and his hand up. She waves as she leads him to the front door. Usagi’s sleepily waves as well and says he had a lot of fun.

The turtles tiredly wave back and insist he needs to visit again.

Julia smiles and says goodbye to Usagi’s aunt before closing the door behind the two rabbits. She then scoops the leftover boys into her arms and takes them to Raph’s room. That’s where they usually go when they want to sleep all together since his bed is the biggest.

She tucks them all in and kisses their foreheads. They fall asleep within seconds. Julia makes sure Raph’s stuffed animals won’t be kicked off in anyone’s sleep so he won’t feel guilty in the morning and then makes her way to the door.

Julia takes one last look at her boys and quietly shuts it.

They deserve a good rest.

single dad! eddie x daughter

summary: its lily’s first halloween and eddie wants to make it as memorable as possible. but turns out she was the one who made it memorable for him

warnings: major fluff, trauma talk

wc: 1.8k

a/n: i was watching criminal minds s6e6 and got so inspired to do this so enjoy xx

~~~

hawkins, indiana 1986

eddie thought that the worse was over when he survived the whole upside down ordeal. that was until his then hook up got pregnant.

‘are you going to keep it?’ eddie was pacing back and forth in the living room biting his nails. a bad habit he had ever since he was 10.

‘i guess so, if you’re okay with it’ it didnt hit eddie soon enough that he would be a dad. a whole dad taking care of his own flesh and blood. he finally graduated in ‘86. he would be a dad in ‘87.

the day lily was born was the greatest day of his life. he did not find out the gender until he saw the pink cloth wrapped around her. she was so soft and her head smelled like flowers, thats how he got the name lily. ‘hey babygirl, you’re so tiny’ the little girl in his arms reached out to hold his pinky.

baby mama up and ran before he knew it. she didn’t leave a note or anything. he was stuck with a baby and he had zero experience taking care of someone. he was grateful for steve, robin, nancy, jonathan, dustin and everyone for helping him. from feeding lily, playing with her, changing her, taking care of her when eddie got a job at a car shop. he was thankful for their help but it was his daughter, he had to learn all this things by himself too.

hawkins, indiana 1988

lily’s 1 now. he got the hang of taking care of her and knowing her little quirks and habits. she was a hyper little girl who loves lilies because of her name, hates the smell of paint, wants to play the guitar when she grows up just like daddy and has the cutest smile in the world.

‘lils! c’mon it’s time to eat dinner with dada and grandpops!’ eddie sees his daughter running with teddy in her hands. he remembers winning it for her when they went to a carnival and she never lets it go ever since.

‘asta’, she couldnt quite say pasta yet but it was one of her favourite foods and eddie would always try to save up to be able to cook it for her, or well, wayne would cook it, because eddie would just burn the kitchen down.

‘today, you’re going to aunt nancy and robin’s place ok? they’ll help you dress up and then we’ll go trick or treat, yeah?’ eddie help lily up to her kid chair while she tries to get the food in her mouth.

eddie wipes lily’s mouth after she finished devouring the whole plate of pasta. she definitely needs to change. ‘cmon pumpkin, let’s get you all dolled up’.

lily changed into a pink unicorn shirt with pink tights and a tutu. she loves wearing tutus, any colour, any day. her whole look was completed with two pigtails and if anyone were to look at her, they would not believe that this is eddie munson’s daughter.

eddie lifts lily up to put her in her booster seat. she has always been a fidgety baby so trying to buckle her in her seat is a hassle everytime.

‘lils, give your dada a break please, cmon sit quietly’ eddie has been trying to get lily to sit still for like 10 minutes now and he does not want to be late as he had to rush to cover a shift. eddie would have asked wayne to take lily but he couldn’t because he had an appointment.

after what felt like eternity, lily sat still with her teddy, drinking her juice box. eddie softly played some sabbath, drumming his fingers against the steering wheel, softly singing iron man. he hears giggling in the background and sees his daughter banging the empty juice box. huh, she likes metal as well.

‘lily! we missed you! come here honey!’ nancy squealed while walking to lily with open arms. once lily saw nancy and robin, it was like her teddy bear was forgotten and she sprinted towards them. eddie beamed at this interaction, he was glad that he had friends who loved lily as much or even more than he does.

‘i’ll be back in about an hour, just have to cover a shift real quick’ eddie checked his watch and he was glad he had about 10 minutes to spare. he crouched down and held lily’s hands ‘you behave for aunt robin and nancy okay? when i get back, you better be dressed up and all ready to get candy, yeah?’

‘-andy!’ lily squished eddie’s face and kissed his nose. eddie gave a small peck to her forehead and waved the three of them goodbye.

nancy and robin got a little house together and decorated it for halloween. well, robin was the one who wanted to and nancy just helped along. they had pumpkins and spiderwebs with some bat shaped lights. they also had a table with a big bowl filled with candy. it was about 6pm so a flood of kids should be arriving soon.

‘cmon lily, time to be the best dressed girl out there’ lily reached out to hold robin’s pinky and they went upstairs where robin and nancy had already laid out a few outfits on the bed. from a princess, to a bee, a clown and lastly, wonder woman.

robin and nancy let lily wander around to see which one she liked the most but after a few minutes, lily walked back to both of them with a pout on her face.

‘what’s wrong bug?’ nancy placed a hand on lily’s side while the other was stroking her hair.

‘you dont like any of this? this princess one is cute, it’s all pink, your favourite colour is pink right?’ robin held up the princess dress with a plastic crown attached to it. lily held it for awhile, inspecting it before throwing it on the ground.

‘aw lily, what do you wanna dress up as then? bee? wonder woman? clown? which one lily’ robin brought all the outfits to lily but lily just threw all of them. robin and nance are starting to get frustrated because they don’t know what’s wrong and they’re not sure what to do.

‘-ada! -ada!’ lily suddenly started jumping up and down while pointing to herself.

robin and nancy looked at each other trying to figure out what lily is trying to imply ‘dada? dada’s not here honey’ then lily started running to a small closet where it has some of her clothes when she slept over sometimes and started opening everything.

‘sweetie, no, don’t do that, lily honey, please, i just fold all those’ nancy rushed towards lily before she could trash the whole room. lily then hold up a hellfire shirt that eddie specifically got for her so she could wear since she liked how it looked on eddie.

‘yes lily, that’s your hellfire shirt, do you want to put it back?’ nancy began putting all the clothes back deciding she could fold it later.

lily pulled the shirt to her chest ‘-adaaaaa!’

robin came to sit down beside lily ‘do you want to dress up as dada? you wanna wear this?’ lily clapped her hands excitedly and began tugging the outfit she had on. robin quickly help her and replace the pink unicorn shirt with the hellfire one. nancy then found ripped jeans which were blue and lily already had on white sneakers. nancy also found that she could use a necklace she had as a chain for the jeans. robin ruffled up lily’s hair to make it look more poofy like eddie’s.

‘nancy, come here and look!’ nancy and robin backed away from lily and they looked at her in awe. she looked exactly like eddie. exactly a splitting image and they were so amazed.

‘you look adorable little munson, you wanna see yourself?’ robin scooped lily up and face her towards a mirror.

‘-ada! hero!’ lily giggled while pointing towards herself.

‘hero? dada’s a hero?’ robin bouncing lily up and down while having tears in her eyes. she knew how hard eddie worked to give lily a good childhood. before lily even came into this world, eddie had already been struggling so to know that somehow smart little lily sees her dad a hero, it definitely made robin’s heart swell.

‘aw baby, don’t cry’ nancy came behind robin and lily to give them a hug. ‘you are a sweet girl huh lily? your dada is a hero, now cmon, he’ll be here soon’.

eddie was pretty exhausted even though it was only an hour’s worth of work. the only thing he looked forward to was seeing his girl. ‘robs! nance! im here!’ eddie knocked on the door as he hears laughters in the house.

‘shh lily, cmon stand behind me, let’s surprise your dad’ robin says pushing lily behind her as lily could not stop laughing.

‘be there in a minute!’ the three of them were excited and nervous to see how eddie would react. nancy reached for the door knob and opened the door slowly.

‘hi guys! where’s lily? is she all dressed up? i have her pumpkin bowl to put all the candy in later’ eddie held up the plastic pumpkin shape bowl, shaking it excitedly.

‘we have a little surprise for you, well more like lily has a surprise for you, come on in’ robin and nancy clap their hands together.

‘ooo i love surprises, okay im coming in’ eddie stepped in and set the bowl down on the table. lily appeared from behind robin and eddie stood there speechless. she had on her customised hellfire shirt with blue ripped jeans, white sneakers and her brown hair was all wild and untamed. she looked so much like eddie.

it took a few seconds for eddie to say something ‘i thought you wanted to be a princess sweetie or a superhero or something’ eddie sat down in front of lily and he was already about to cry.

‘dada! hero!’ she points to the shirt and then to eddie and at that moment eddie swore that he turned into a puddle. all those sleepless nights, the snarky remarks made by people when they see eddie holding lily, crying before going to sleep, not ever feeling like he was a good dad, all of those dissipated once he heard those two words. he began crying and pull lily so close to him he felt like she was going to explode.

‘you said dada, honey, i love you, oh i love you more than anyone in the world’ eddie peppered lily’s face with kisses. lily pecked eddie’s cheeks in return.

‘let’s go get so much candy’ and the both of them left with the biggest smiles on their faces.

SKYTOBER 2022 ILLUSTRATION SERIES.

WEEK 4 (OCTOBER 23RD - 31ST). WEEK 1 | WEEK 2 | WEEK 3 | x

The final week to my Skytober IS! Despite having not been able to finish this until mid-November, I managed to complete all 31 days!! That is a huge accomplishment, as I've never been able to complete a prompt challenge like this at all prior. Keeping things on the (more) simpler side, but allowing myself to have fun with different art utensils kept things interesting and helped pulled me through.

If I may be honest, as much as I wish to, I don't see myself participating in Skytober again for 2023, as I wish to find a prompt challenge centering around unique prompts that can bring out some character (like an OC-tober or something). But we'll see!

Art captions below the cut!

23 FAVORITE COSMETIC: "Despite not having much aesthetic expression, she shines so brilliantly - piercing through time, space, and beyond … our Primordial Moth." It's the moth hair that distinct her to me from the rest … my beloved little goddess.

24 GONDOLA RIDING: Tapushea pays a visit to Telfoso and Sir Elder, when she noticed an additional third person with them, who hadn't been mentioned. "Wait, Telfoso … who - is that with you and Mr. Elder? Her hair isn't white … is she not from SHAYAMIN entirely?"

25 BEST SKY MOMENT: "No longer do I live a life of isolation and contempt. I will now walk in both darkness and light, by your side …. adoring you for all of eternity."

26 RUINS: "Welcome, Kidde. I've been waiting for this moment …. the day you become mortal." When Kidde descended onto the mortal realm, she did not land in Isle of Dawn.

27 FIRST FLIGHT: "Brother … HERE I COME-!" With his willpower burning brighter than ever, Elder-kun breaks out from their underwater prison. He will do everything to save his brother … and stop him.

28 CELEBRATION: I didn't get to properly celebrate Kidde's birthday (16 AUG), so I did some of that here! Inspired by art nouveau.

29 CRABS: "Dasha loves her little crabbies~! Take care of them, I will." Dasha, a taller moth, has found great joy in owning two friendly pet crabs.

30 ELDERS: "WAIT YOU MEAN THERE ARE MORE ELDERS THAN JUST ELDER-KUN??" - my friend Roland.

31 MISCHIEF: Is it true that one can fly on a broomstick during the month of Halloween? Kidde decides to test it for herself, while Baybei comes back bearing candy via Trick-or-Treating!

Ooo, I'm super curious about your hospital wip??

So was @beepbeepsan!

I shared part of it on Halloween: https://www.tumblr.com/astrabear/732719667993591808/trick-or-treat

and part of it in some other post I don't feel like tracking down but here it is:

While Andy sleeps, Quỳnh cleans. It started simply: sweeping more often, dusting meticulously, throwing the housekeeping rota off kilter. But Andy sleeps more and more, and Quỳnh has to fill the time. No one else does any cleaning at all, now. They’ve stopped arguing with her about that, just as they’ve stopped pointing out that the toilets don’t need to be scrubbed every day, or that the house has a dishwasher. They leave her to it, and they eat off the same immaculate dishes for every meal and sleep on freshly-laundered sheets every night.

They’re not really sure when Quỳnh sleeps.

When Andy’s asleep, she cleans, and when Andy’s awake, she’s there at her side. Quỳnh determines what Andy is able to eat and when; Quỳnh handles all her toileting and hygiene needs. Quỳnh is the arbiter of when Andy can manage visitors. (She herself does not count as a visitor, of course.) This, they try to put their foot down about.

“Quỳnh,” Nile says, “we love her too, we want to help take care of her.”

Quỳnh shakes her head and continues spooning broth into a bowl. “No, Nile. The time for that has passed. This is for me to do.”

Joe leans against the wall outside Andy’s room. “You know,” he says quietly, as she pulls the door shut behind her, “we can take it if she’s not entirely herself. If she doesn’t recognize us. You don’t have to protect us.”

“No, Joe.” She barely spares him a glance before heading to the yard to take the clothes off the line. “You never learned that language. Those times are when she needs me the most.”

(Booker never says anything; Booker cannot bear to speak about it. He is the only one whose company she ever seeks.)

Nicky brings her food and says, “Quỳnh, you need to rest. You cannot hide from your feelings forever. Please. Let yourself grieve.”

“No,” she says. “Not yet. She’s still alive. Not yet.”

*******

Fun bonus fact: in the very same Word document, right after this, I wrote When I'm Lost in Darkness. So you can clearly see the transition, over a couple of weeks, from "we are waiting to get the test results" to "my stepfather is going to die soon." I no longer felt the need to process the former, so I never bothered to finish the wip.

Happy Halloween!

Hey kiddos! I just wanted to stop by and make sure you are all being safe tomorrow!

If you are going Trick or Treating remember, check every piece, don't go into people's houses no matter what, and try to have a buddie system! Lots of fun can be had getting free candy but please be careful!

If you are doing bigger kid things like parting it is also a good idea to have a buddy or two! Don't accept drinks from anyone you aren't familiar with even if you kinda know who they are. Bring a bottle of water and maybe an extra set of clothes in case your costume gets uncomfortable. Staying hydrated makes it way less likely for you to get hungover. Have fun and be safe!

In my opinion, you are never to old to get free candy. Even if your body is an adult go trick or treating anyway! Your little self will thank you. I'm giving out candy and goodie bags and if an adult came up to my door I wouldn't question it. Everyone deserves to have fun on Halloween no matter what age!

I'd also like to tell you what I did/ what im going to do this year. I caved pumpkins, planning on roasting cinnamon and sugar pumpkin seeds, went to my sister's Halloween party, and im handing out sour candy, chocolate, and handmade goodie bags! Along with blasting music from my porch haha

Be safe and have fun my little pumpkins!
