[PT: My Muses]

A simple list of all the characters I love writing for and believe I write well + the general headcanons and personality I write for em

Danny Johnson || The Ghostface [Dead By Daylight]

★ Firstly, this is my husband. My absolute man. I will be writing about him so fucking much because I am kissing him. ★ Tall motherfucker, like easily breaks 6'2, pretty small compared to other killers though ★ I write mine as a cis dude, I love FTM headcanons for him and all but in my brain he's cis! Queer Danny supremacy tho. Uses any pronouns but usually just goes with he/him ★ Demiromantic and Bisexual, Danny "Any Hole Is A Goal" Johnson but has a hard time with romance because he very rarely if ever feels romantic attraction. (Unsure of the original source of the demiromantic bisexual flag, but i remade it from an icon i saw) ★ Has NPD (kinda canon but developers used Narcissist as an insult, too bad taking it literally) + ADHD

Michael Meyers || The Shape [Dead by Daylight + Halloween]

★ Actual fucking giant, like 7 feet tall and some change ★ Also cis, I promise there are trans headcanons here somewhere. Anyways mainly he/him but doesn't really give a fuck. ★ Completely aromantic and pansexual, no romantic attraction but very queerplatonic. Aropan flag by @/flag-mashups (link). ★ Autistic and completely nonverbal, probs some other issues but I haven't thought about it a whole lot.

Amanda Young || The Pig [Dead By Daylight + Saw]

★ Lil gal (as far as killers go), 5'10 ★ Transfem MtF, She/Her and maybe sometimes They as a treat ★ Pan lesbian + Sapphic, imo she's alright with dating anyone that's not a purely cis dude. Pan lesbian flag by @/bi-lesbian (link). ★ Autistic, c-PTSD, HPD, I project onto this character hard so she gets a lot of my issues.

Anna || The Huntress [Dead By Daylight]

★ TALL WOMAN 6'3 ★ Bigender Demigirl, always has a feminine connection to her gender but often times feels really masc. She/Her but still nonbinary. Bigender Demigender flag made by @/sakosai (link) ★ Pansexual ★ c-PTSD, Autistic, BPD, another character I project onto lol

Sadako Yamamura || The Onryō [Dead By Daylight + The Ring]

★ I WILL NOT WRITE NSFW OF THIS CHARACTER EVER don't even bother asking. ★ Itty Bitty Baby, 5'6, smallest of the killers ★ Agender, can't be bothered with it. ★ Aroace, very affectionate though! Aroace Agender flag is by @/rjalker [link] ★ Def has a personality disorder, which one? Haven't decided but something on the cluster b spectrum. Otherwise, ADHD (possibly audhd?) and comorbidities.

Others I will write for under the cut! Not as much detail, just that I would write for them if asked.

what i'm listening to november 2023. the agony

spot. link//yt link

song notes under cut

Laura Les - Haunted: haunted. by laura les.

Garbage - Queer: stand up for the fag anthem. but also let's be real one of the main draws here is the music video where shirley manson pushes the pov character down to the ground and forcibly shaves your head while singing "i know what's good for you." i'm a lesbian

Chris Fleming - W.U.G.: i've met a couple wugs in my time but more than anything i'm just on my chris fleming shit recently. this one has been stucks in my head sooo bad and bsaically anytime i see the word "guy" it comes back with a vengeance

Limp Bizkit & Method Man - N 2 Gether Now: random lb songs will really just crop up in my rotation for seemingly no reason but really this one has so many good lines and the addition of method man brings it up by so much. it's comical on some level bc it's like why is he here, he's like. a real rapper. and fred sounds so out of his depth next to him. but at the same time they both do actually really pretty good. pull the plug and then jet. MIC CHECK.

Sloppy Jane - Bark Like a God: recommended by a friend. need to listen to the full album but this goes insane goes crazy i mean those damn vocals and the THEMES ugh i mean what else do you need in this world. don't even really know what to call this band but it good and i need more

Almeda Riddle - My Little Rooster: Gummo is a 1997 American experimental drama film written and directed by Harmony Korine, starring Jacob Reynolds, Nick Sutton, Jacob Sewell, and Chloë Sevigny. The film is set (but was not filmed) in Xenia, Ohio, a Midwestern American town that had been previously struck by a devastating tornado. The loose narrative follows several main characters who find odd and destructive ways to pass time, interrupted by vignettes depicting other inhabitants of the town.

Destroy Boys - Fences: mostly just real catchy. many such cases. but there is a certain doggish quality to it as well

Enon - Natural Disasters: hi violer :3 ooh ahh the song so catchy the riff so tastey and shiney

Limp Bizkit - The Truth: i watched the band's short film of the same name recently and was pretty underwhelmed. but it did make me wanna go back and listen to the ep! it's been said to death but it's easily some of lb's best work, and not just because it's the serious one or whatever

Repo! The Genetic Opera - Night Surgeon: tbh there should be more repo on here but there's only so much space and this is undoubtedly my favorite track from the soundtrack (although "at the opera tonight" comes pretty damn close!!) i could listen to anthony head go "i remember" like that allllll day. i have been having some serious repo fixation recently i won't lie. give it a watch it's a normal movie

Foo Fighters - Everlong (Acoustic Version): okay look you guys know at this point how i get about everlong. so when i was watching hit film little nicky starring adam sandman and a rather beautiful sequence took place accompanied by a sparse acoustic version still laden in the characteristic warmth of the original song, of course i was hooked. and that's a nu metal-ass movie, too, but this was the pick i ended up making. that's special

Dropkick Murphys - I'm Shipping Up To Boston: WOOOOO BOSTON!!!!!!!! GO BRUINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET ME A CUP O DUNKS!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! YANKEES SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <is not from boston but rather a different place entirely

Fefe Dobson - Unforgiven: why did nobody tell me about this fuckin nu metal x y2k pop fusion. this is like rina sawayama stfu but all the way back in 200-goddamn-3. fefe you were before your time

MGMT - Little Dark Age: i don't know mgmt that well but i heard a little bit of this song in a youtube video long ago and really liked it and could never find it and then i happened to encounter it again and was like oh hello my old acquaintance shall we get to know each other better

Billy Joel - All For Leyna: beginning to realize that billy is good actually. every little part of this song is crunchy and sweet and delicious for me. and god i sure am doing it all for leyna aren't i......

Tom Cardy & Brian David Gilbert - Beautiful Mind: tbh this was far from my favorite effort from either of these guys...... didn't really think it was all that funny. had a very lol random sort of appeal that just didn't hit me right. however it does sound amazing, really clean, and they both have nice voices. plus you know i love them harmonies

Taco - Puttin' on the Ritz: they play this a lot at a cafe i go to sometimes. i used to not like this song but it's really grown on me. it's one of those absolutely one-of-a-kind songs that could have only been a hit at the exact time and place that it was. and i like stuff like that! you might even say i think it's super duper :)

Violent Femmes - Breakin' Up: this song is dumb as balls. and it sounds way better in my head than it does to actually listen to it. but! the video is really cool, with that simple but effective camera trick. i enjoy that

Bowling For Soup - Girl All the Bad Guys Want: if the previous song was dumb as balls, this song is dumb as. like. the epididymis. or like a single sperm cell. i don;t know man it's a dumb fucking song. but it's about a cool rap rocker girl :3 and that's meeeeee probably. when i listen to it i like to rate each lyric on how true it is. watching wrestling? maybe now and then. creaming over tough guys? hmmm no i would simply not do this. but listening to rap metal? turntables in her eyes?? now we're fuckin talkin!!!!!!!!!!

꒰♡꒱ —  MY CHARACTERS AS WRITTEN AESTHETICS.

i saw this post and thought it was a fun idea so i wanted to do the same with a few of my own characters!!  if you find this post useful, please consider giving it a like / reblog so that i know ♡♡

possible triggers  !!  brief mentions of cheating, blood, police

CALLIOPE WILDE, the amateur sleuth   ―   guilt slowly eating away at you, bringing a camera everywhere you go, circle glasses, two messy buns sat atop your head, diving head first into work, writing long to do lists, comfy socks, bullet point notes on a restaurant napkin, staying up too late watching true crime documentaries, polaroid photos, not realizing you need a mental health day until it’s too late, vintage typewriters, wondering what could have been

OLIVE SUTTON, the failed actress   ―   dark mascara streaming down your cheeks, a tattered diner uniform, always wearing the same set of jewelry, empty perfume bottles, typing out and deleting angry text messages, crying in the mcdonald’s parking lot, false eyelashes and a bit too much blush, dreaming of something bigger, white wine in a water bottle, always being dressed up, 10 missed phone calls

SPENSER BALDWIN, the rich kid addict   ―   “do you know who my dad is?”, only wearing designer clothes, empty promises, asking nosy questions, gold rings, crude words falling from privileged lips, getting away with too much, shouting matches with your new step-mother, sending 5 different people the same ‘i love you; you’re the only one’ text, blurry photos from the night before

COZETTE MAYFAIR, the picture perfect ballerina   ―   practicing until your feet bleed, light hair always falling perfectly into place, cold hands, needing perfection, too much coffee and too little sleep, smelling of vanilla and strawberries, hiding tired eyes under concealer, ballet slippers hanging on the back of your door, being bribed by your own parents to keep quiet, always adding a cherry on top of your milkshake, delicate jewelry

BILLIE VANDERWAAL, the ghost   ―   a lone mattress in an empty apartment, a memory being played on a never ending loop,, zoning out often, restless nights, watching as police search through your things (but they can’t seem to see you), wandering aimlessly, reliving the same day over and over again, a blood-stained nightgown, tying your hair into a perfectly imperfect bun, the glow of a porch light in the distance

If we did favorite OCs we would be here all day, so we're voting on 'favorite character of the ones that get used as narrators' instead.

[findroleplay]

[c]

hello! I’m looking for some fandom roleplays. Currently I am looking to do OCxCC for these fandoms! I am more than open to doing double ups, I prefer doing them anyways since it keeps both sides fair. (I just ask that we both write an equal amount for both sides, not one more than the other.)

[c]

Here's some more details:

Literacy: Literate-Advanced Literate (I LOVE details 🫶)

Rules: I have my rules pinned on my profile, please read it all before interacting with this!

[c]

[c]

Fandom(s): Criminal Minds (it's been a while since I've seen the whole show so rn I'm rewatching it and on season 4), DCEU, The Boys (on season 3), The Walking Dead (on season 9)

[c]

[c]

Character(s): I can play any characters for you and your side! I'm also apart of other fandoms that I don't have listed above. If you'd prefer another fandom for your side just ask and maybe I know it well enough to rp! And here are characters I'm looking for my oc from the fandoms listed above:

Criminal Minds- Derek Morgan, Emily Prentiss, Aaron Hotchner

DCEU- Bale!Batman/Bruce Wayne, Pattison!Batman/Bruce Wayne, John Constantine, Morpheus (The Sandman, mainly the show), The Corinthian (same as Morpheus)

The Boys- Billy Butcher, Queen Maeve, MM, Black Noir, Homelander, Soldier Boy

The Walking Dead- Daryl Dixon🫶, Abraham Ford, Rick Grimes, Carl Grimes, Ezekiel Sutton, Gabriel Stokes

COD: Modern Warfare II- Alejandro Vargas, Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley, John Price, Johnny ‘Soap’ Mactavish

[c]

Triggers: I personally have no triggers

[c]

[c]

Plot ideas: Depending on which fandom I will most likely follow the canon storyline for each one BUT there could be exceptions. I'm also open to doing AUs alongside the storylines/adding our own changes and touches throughout ofc <3! I'm open to any plots you may have for your side. Ofc Omegaverse will be alongside the plot(s). I will likely play my ocs as an omega and whichever fandom with whoever you’re comfortable playing as an Alpha. I’m more than happy to do the same for your side or any other Secondary Gender pairing is cool with me too!

[c]

Where: I'm cool with staying on Tumblr but I wouldn’t mind moving over to Discord

This is simply due to personal preferences and wanting to get each character’s portrayal right.

Possibly Doing a "Begins" Series

So, I've kind of been obsessing over 9-1-1/9-1-1: Lone Star lately and think that it would be cool to do a "Begins" Series with characters from One Chicago and maybe The Resident, by using the information that we have gotten from the shows about them (after I finish all my other WIPs, but I actually wanna have them written ahead of time instead of writing as I go). I have an idea of how I want some of them to go, others are undecided as of right now and some I'm debating if I should do one for said character. But if you want to see a particular moment for a character that was canonically mentioned (ie Mouch and his dad sending letters when he was a child) let me know. (Also, the order of the characters listed have nothing to do with the potential order that they get done. The Chicago Shows are in the order of my character charts and The Resident Characters are in the order that I pulled their names from fandom Wiki).

Welcome home!

here are my demigods in the style of Welcome Home! I love this ARG so much! This is the first time I’ve drawn in another’s style, but their style is just so wonderful I could not wait to try! who’s your favourite? :D

left to right, the characters are:

Billie Ouroboros, a genderfluid slime creature who uses any pronouns and demigod of death

Saga, a harengon with an eye for books (she/her), the demigod of history

Aceso, the only robot in the entire archipelago! (So far at least) She loves her parter Aeon, a lovely witch satyr, and goes by She/they. Demigod of peace

Iisaac (said eye-eye-Zack), the prince of palAmes, demigod of space and quite partial to Saga (shh!) He doesn’t verbalise but really he is quite a talker! (He/him)

Sutton Hoo, the only walking bat (in this world at least) and demigod of the wild. He’s my personal favourite but don’t tell the rest of them that (eek!)

and finally, Alora Moribund, demigod of Love and the tallest demigod! 6”8 1/2! Woah! She holds a red thread, hmmm, I wonder why…?

Don’t forget, I always have more art on my Instagram and more videos on my TikTok! Love you guys! <3

It was at this very moment that every single Collie shipper had a breakdown. It finally happened. And the look in their eyes of total affection sent me over the freaking edge. I love them so so much! #Collie endgame is here

Synopsis ~ We meet a grayed, immaculately garbed Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr. in Paradise (his diary entry reads "Another heavenly day"), where he looks down upon the world and muses over the sort of show he'd be putting on were he still alive.

PRINCIPAL CAST

‘FOLLIES’ TRIVIA

Sidney Guilaroff, Lucille Ball’s hair dresser, who takes responsibility for her famous ‘golden red’ for this movie, becoming her trademark color.

Although they appear in different segments, this is the only feature film collaboration between “I Love Lucy co-stars" Lucille Ball and William Frawley. Coincidently, Frawley's character in this film shares a striking similarity with his iconic character of Fred Mertz on “I Love Lucy.” In this film he plays a money-hungry curmudgeon of a landlord, much like the show. In the above photo, he appears with director Minnelli and co-star Brice. 

The horse ridden by Lucille Ball is the Lone Ranger's Silver!

Lucille Ball was actually fired by Ziegfeld from his road company production of Rio Rita in the 1930s.

In February 1956, Lucy and Desi appeared on “MGM Parade” to promote their MGM film Forever Darling. The show also included footage of Lena Horne singing from Ziegfeld Follies. 

Lucy also played a showgirl in pink in “Lucy Gets Into Pictures” (ILL S4;E19) aired on February 21, 1955. The scene was inspired by Ziegfeld’s legendary stage shows featuring beautiful women wearing elaborate costumes navigating long staircases. To solidify the comparison, Ricky says he is going to a meeting with Mr. Minnelli. Vincente Minnelli was one of the directors of Ziegfeld Follies. 

Lucy Ricardo had previously cavorted around in a lampshade in the manner of a Ziegfeld girl in both the unaired pilot and “The Audition” (S1;E6).

Ziegfeld Follies includes a sketch for Red Skelton called “When Television Comes” aka “Guzzler’s Gin” in which a (future) television spokesman gets increasingly sloshed on his product. This sketch was an obvious influence on Lucy’s Vitameatavegamin routine in “Lucy Does a TV Commercial” (ILL S1;E30) aired on May 5, 1952. 

Ziegfeld Girl Eve Whitney appeared on “I Love Lucy” episode “The Charm School” (ILL S3;E15). She used her own name for the character.  

The Telegraph Boy in "A Sweepstakes Ticket" Arthur Walsh - appeared on “I Love Lucy” in “Lucy Has Her Eyes Examined” (ILL S3;E11) as Arthur ‘King Cat’ Walsh. He teaches Lucy how to jitterbug. 

The first Judge in the “Pay the Two Dollars” James Crehan also played the Police Detective on “I Love Lucy in “The Great Train Robbery” (ILL S5;E5) first aired on October 31, 1955.

Porky, a voice on the telephone in “Number Please” Peter Lawford, played “Password” against Lucille Ball on September 24, 1964.  At the time, Lawford was married to President Kennedy’s sister, Patricia. On November 26, 1968, Ball was a guest on “The Tonight Show” when Peter Lawford was sitting in for Johnny Carson.

Chorus Boy Bert May appeared as a solo dancer on “The Lucy Show” in “Lucy and Tennessee Ernie Ford” (TLS S5;E21) in February 1967. 

In the dressing room, Lucy jokes with Fanny Brice, one of the funniest women in showbusiness.  This was the only time Ball and Brice collaborated and was Brice’s last film. 

Ziegfeld’s follies began on Broadway, so it was appropriate that the show featured past and future Broadway musical stars:

Lucille Ball ~ Wildcat (1960)

Carol Haney ~ The Pajama Game (1954)

Tommy Rall ~ Call Me Madame (1950)

Fanny Brice ~ The Ziegfeld Follies 

Marion Bell ~ Brigadoon (1947)

Victor Moore ~ Anything Goes (1934)

There was a lot of material that was not filmed, but written and cast. Some of the original skits would have added “Lucy” performers Mickey Rooney, Ann Sothern, and Van Johnson to the cast.

11/22/63 - Stephen King

On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? Stephen King’s heart-stoppingly dramatic new novel is about a man who travels back in time to prevent the JFK assassination—a thousand page tour de force. Following his massively successful novel Under the Dome, King sweeps readers back in time to another moment—a real life moment—when everything went wrong: the JFK assassination. And he introduces readers to a character who has the power to change the course of history. Jake Epping is a thirty-five-year-old high school English teacher in Lisbon Falls, Maine, who makes extra money teaching adults in the GED program. He receives an essay from one of the students—a gruesome, harrowing first person story about the night 50 years ago when Harry Dunning’s father came home and killed his mother, his sister, and his brother with a hammer. Harry escaped with a smashed leg, as evidenced by his crooked walk. Not much later, Jake’s friend Al, who runs the local diner, divulges a secret: his storeroom is a portal to 1958. He enlists Jake on an insane—and insanely possible—mission to try to prevent the Kennedy assassination. So begins Jake’s new life as George Amberson and his new world of Elvis and JFK, of big American cars and sock hops, of a troubled loner named Lee Harvey Oswald and a beautiful high school librarian named Sadie Dunhill, who becomes the love of Jake’s life—a life that transgresses all the normal rules of time.

Scoundrels’ Themes:

For such wonderful characters, each of them should have a theme song!  One is funny, one is serious, and each fits their character perfectly.  Links to each song are right here.  

Funny:

Drake- You May be Right, Billy Joel.  Drake would definitely sing this about himself.  It pretty much perfectly describes him.  

Vir- Walking on Sunshine, Katrina and the Waves.  He’s a happy guy, and then there’s the joke.  Hell, any song that has to do with ‘sunny’ or ‘sunshine.’

Shepard- I Won’t Dance, Frank Sinatra.  Shepard is a hopeless romantic, but Shpeard can not dance.  

Kirk-  I’ve Been Everywhere, Johnny Cash.  What better song for somewhere whose job description is to explore the galaxy?

Master Chief-  Warrior Song, The Warrior Song Project.  Chief’s the ultimate soldier.  Come on.

Cooper- Ghost in the Trenches, Sabaton.  This describes Cooper’s mission on Typhon perfectly.

Cain- Xenophobia, Bill Sutton.  He’s an Imperial.  A lot less xenophobic than most, as he just wants to do his job and live through it, but an Imperial nevertheless.

Quill- Come and Get Your Love, Redbone.  This is his intro song.  No explanation necessary.  Go watch the scene.    

Solo- The Wanderer, Dion.  He is the wanderer, always roaming around the galaxy, getting into trouble.  

Serious:

Drake- Draconian Dream, Audiomachine

Vir- Conquest of Paradise, Vangelis

Shepard- Mass Effect Theme, Sam Hulick and Jack Wall

Kirk- Star Trek Original Theme, Alexander Courage

Master Chief- 117, Neil Davidge and Kazuma Jinnouchi

Cooper- Wallrunning, Stephen Barton

Cain- Ciaphas Cain Suite, Officio Audiorum

Quill- Guardians of the Galaxy Main Theme, Tyler Bates

Solo- The Adventures of Han, John Williams

If you disagree, tell me why!  If you want to add on, feel free to do so!

hello and congrats on 1000 followers! i just read through the darkening sky in about seven hours and i have to say that it’s the best fic i’ve ever read from any fandom at any time. it’s truly astounding work.

i have a few questions (and feel free not to answer them if you want to keep some things to yourself for the sake of later writing/surprises/etc.)

1) you’ve written joan x dick x nix on your ao3, but tds seems like it will be just joan x dick. are there any groupings or pairings in tds that you see developing into a polyship or polyamory?

2) in one of the chapters, a character (joan? marj maybe?) mentioned that there are girls who like girls and guys who like guys in easy company. besides annie sutton and connie (maybe? if i’m remembering correctly), do you mind expanding on who those people might be? maybe some of the guys?

again, feel no pressure to answer these questions. this is my first time writing in about a fic, but tds is truly one of the best things i’ve ever read and i cannot thank you enough for writing it!

Gosh, Nonnie, that's quite a compliment - thank you! I'm glad you liked the fic and am pleased to be so found.

Neither of these are spoilers, really, and they're both good questions! I'm putting part of the answer under a cut for brevity.

Simple answer - yes, it's really just Joan x Dick that's endgame. The thruple concept exists solely as an AU idea to the main fic and was something I started tossing around later in my writing process as a thought exercise - nothing more. I'm sure we could say something here about competing representation needs - that wasn't one I was setting out to solve when I started writing, so it's not in the main fic.

The thing that makes Lewis x Dick x Joan work as a thruple is that all of them have chemistry with each other - for some of the other pairs, one or more components don't quite have that energy with the other characters who are often paired together. Marj, for instance, gets along really well with Lip but wouldn't know what to do with Speirs; Maggie loves Lieb but vehemently hates Webster. And even if I were to make, say, Molly and Billie a thing, which I did contemplate, Molly and Speirs is another pairing that just doesn't quite compute and Billie and Tab works better as a friendship.

The ONE thruple that I don't think has ever really been mentioned outside of my group chat is Billie x Speirs x Grant, which actually does feel like it could go somewhere. (That is also courtesy of @basilone, who is responsible for Billie x Speirs as a thing that exists, and who has a lovely Speirs x Grant fic The Long Bright Dark.) Again - it's a thought experiment, not an endgame.

I do have one other polyamory thing that I write from time to time, and it's for The Pacific - it's Andy Haldane x Eddie Jones and an OFC named Marie Atcheson, whom you can read about in Knowing How to Pick 'Em on AO3.

2. It's Marj who makes a comment about how there are plans 'being made for getting laid' but never takes it much beyond that; there's also a drabble on my tumblr where June tells Chuck “Girls can like girls, Chuck…Wouldn’t surprise me if we’ve got a few guys who like guys in this unit, either. And that’s fine - long as they aren’t getting bitchy about who gets to fuck who. That’s why we’re keeping this low….So no one gets hurt.”

Beyond that, however, no mention has been made of men who like men in the main fic, and, to be honest, I haven't given it much thought. Again, something could be said about competing representation needs. I set out to write what I wanted to write and sort of side-lined a lot of other things.

I think, as of right this moment, if I had to add some of that in, and I think that's a fair ask, the first people that occur to me are Skip and Penk. Since Connie is friends with them, the adage that all the gay kids sit together could be said to be true, and it would make for some interesting stage business as they're trying to figure out what gets sent home.
