== Love Notes ==

Hey Lovelies! I hope the beginning of your work week well and not dealing with too much nonsense. I'm still recovering a bit, but I saw this and thought of you all. Don't forget that sometimes our brains tell us we're not good enough, but they're lying lovelies <3 Be kind to yourself, Happy Monday <3

== Daily Darby / Today's Taika ==

So today I've decided not to go with gifs because I coudn't find one from the met gala. I figured we needed a reminder before the new Met Gala tonight of how fabulous these two look in fine clothes.

The Magnus Protocol: Marked

Huh. The tattoos are interesting.

At the moment, they remind me most of "Leitners". Of course, there are other cursed objects in the world, but these, like the weird books of The Magnus Archives are specifically pieces of art that can infect a person and drive them to extreme acts.

They are linked, not by any particular obsession, but by the sense of compulsion itself. Daria, of Making Adjustments was driven to self-mutilation by her tattoo, because of her insecurity about her appearance. Gordie, David and, given that the actual company email address goes inactive at the end of the story, quite possibly the entire landscaping crew, were drawn inexorably to the sea by a sense of nostalgia.

Chester/Gordie On a personal note, I’d just like to say thank you for using us to do this job. I know we can’t have been the cheapest company to put in a bid, but as local lads we’ve been coming to this graveyard all our lives (even if just to sneak some booze as stupid teenagers), and now that the cliff’s finally giving up the ghost (if you’ll pardon the pun), it feels right for us to be the ones taking it apart. – The Magnus Protocol: Marked

They are not anxious or afraid – not at the beginning, anyway. It is their fondness for the cemetery that dooms them.

But even though theme around what the tattoo means and what it does to someone is quite different, there's apparently a community of some kind devoted to them. For a start, the particular tattoo in the story is from no later that 1908, and while I admit "Oscar Jarrett" is not a name that immediately means something to me, "Sutherland Macdonald" was a real Victorian tattoo artist. So this has been going on a while. And, Ink5oul seems to have some pretty strong ideas about what that tattoo was – and must have had some idea it was in that graveyard, to turn up within two days of the body's exhumation.

There's some kind of community built around mystical tattoos. It is old and, given the evidence from Making Adjustments, alive, well, and still inking creepy images into people to this very day.

That's an interesting thing in itself. The cults in The Magnus Archives were built around allegiance to a particular power. Leitner existed, but he was one guy with a particularly awful book collection. What draws these people together?

And if the tattoos are in any way like the Leitners, that carries with it some worrying implications.

The first thing is that the books typically had to be picked up and read to cause any significant harm. And while, yes, tattoos may be deliberately covered with clothing or makeup, there's still a much greater chance of a lot of people being casually exposed to them.

The second thing is that ... well, tattoos are on people. No one thought twice about burning a Leitner, assuming it was one that would burn. Hell, "setting the annoying books on fire" was Gerard Keay's whole thing. But what's the plan if you are dealing with an image that lives in the skin of a person? And a person, who, like Daria, genuinely had no idea what they were signing up for?

Then there's the meta around the case. Sam, here, behaves exactly like John did. He's always had an interest in the cases, of course. But the core thing about John was that he knew not a damned thing about monsters – but he always paid attention to the people. This is an easy one, of course; I'm sure everyone went HEY IT'S THE CREEPY TATTOO ARTIST! But it's true nevertheless. Ink5oul the creepy tattoo artist has been active at least as recently as 2020.

Sam wants to note the pattern. John was obstructed by a (deliberately) poorly organised archive. Even if he had the general idea of what kind of thing he needed to find, actually finding it was almost impossible. Sam is obstructed by any reasonable means of stringing his research together. Or at least so Alice says – I haven't forgotten that she was either lying or very wrong about the search function not working.

But the nature of the OIAR seems to be that it puts a barrier between the people doing the assessing and the cases themselves. They are removed from the situation in a way that the archival staff were not. And Sam has breached that barrier. He knows someone is out there who is involved in this stuff.

As for Alice, well, she's being followed. Probably by [ERROR], although we'll see. The episode is called Marked. The dead man in the grave was marked by his tattoo. Gordie, David and likely the rest were marked by exposure to it. Explicitly, Gordie became obsessed by the shape in the water. Something was pursuing that ship, and he had to know what it was. And Alice ... well, something has marked her, and is pursuing her.

The most interesting thing, really, is that it's Alice being pursued, not Sam. Sam wanted to go to The Magnus Institute, and found nothing but a soggy ruin. Alice complained every step of the way – and she's the one with the stalker.

Sam No, you’re right. I don’t know what I’m looking for. I have… I have memories of weird stuff I saw here, but no context. I want to know what was happening, why they chose us… why they didn’t choose me. Maybe find the bit where everything started to go wrong. But… it’s too late. And now… I’m the only one left who cares. – The Magnus Protocol: Saturday Night

Is that a thing, somehow? That Sam is fundamentally the one who does not get chosen? John was a magnet for every horror in the story – and it was all very deliberate, with the pain and fear leading to a final goal. But if Sam is somehow resistant to the horrors ... There seems to be something up with him. There are bits of static clearly popping up in the dialogue. There's something that made The Magnus Institute pick him up initially. But there's also something that made them let him go. Perhaps the peril is not to him, but to the people around him.

Gwen did just get thoroughly traumatised. And yes, she absolutely did that to herself, but it still happened.

I do wonder what Gwen thought the job was, though. She does nothing but read (or hear) and categorise monster stories all night, every night. But seems genuinely appalled that being "in" means confronting monsters. Did she think it was all code for something else?

And Celia – well, there you just throw up your hands. Obviously relevant. Too little detail yet to do anything with it. The how and why of her sleeping in the middle of nowhere is important, sure. But who's Jack?

Ah, well. Thoughts for later, I guess.

gerbert fic rec list

alright, kitty’s third fic rec list time! requested by @meowmeowcat759506 just after i had thought of doing one of these for gerbert, which is really fun! love you (platonic) clay <3

♡ = a favorite of kitty’s

1. On My Own: sad angsty pre and post break up gerbert

make sure to read all tags! very bwaaahhh and ough!! one shot. 642 words.

♡ 2. Well, We Kiss Like Painted Tigers: Written for a kiss meme prompt: "Bert/Gerard, smeared makeup."

trigger warning for mentions of drugs, alcohol, and addiction! god, i adore this one. one shot. 829 words.

♡ 3. Extent of My Sin: “And I don’t want to think too much about what we should and shouldn’t do.” Originally written June 2005.

trigger warning for drugs and sex! i love this one’s vibe, and it uses nine inch nails lyrics, which is cool! one shot. 2,067 words.

4. Clumsy Heart: The summer Bert and Gerard got together, Gerard was busy falling apart.

contains sex, drugs/alcohol/cigarettes. surprised me by not having a sad ending! has a fun sort of chaotic summer romance vibe to it. gerbert fics actually written in 2000s type time hit different. one shot. 2,266 words.

♡ 5. the confrontation: Bert confronts Gerard and calls him out on, basically, everything.

HOLY SHIT lmao. fighting (verbal and physical), cigarettes and alcohol, minor discussion of body image, f slur, minor nsfw. background past frerard. basically, post-break-up gerbert fight featuring an amalgamation of prorev theories, openly bisexual bert, sad little puppy unrequited love frankie iero, and deeply closeted gay gerard. daily dose of drama for someone who doesn’t leave her house (me). one shot. 7,938 words.

6. your love is my drug: Bert loves mornings like this. Waking up with his boyfriend kissing him sweetly then maybe later, they'll make those awesome waffles or maybe they'll have morning sex or whatever. He fucking loves this.

fluff. contains sexual content and background frikey. really cute!! one shot. 2,004 words.

♡ 7. Blush: Gerard lives in black and white. He’s fine with it. But when he meets Frank, everything changes.

soulmate au, but with a theme of “people can make their own choices about their soulmates.” starts out as frerard, but gerbert is endgame! has sad parts but a very happy ending. featuring background petekey, ashlee simpson (who i adore) and a baby! trigger warning for character death and some sexual content. multi chapter. 9,181 words.

8. Just Ask: Bert has plenty he wants, but doesn't want to ask.

costume party! warnings for sexual content and alcohol, and also for teh fact tha they wear cop costumes, lol. one shot. 4,517 words.

9. Parents’ Weekend: Gerard loves the guy, he really does. Really. But sometimes Bert, bless his heart, just gets things...Wrong. Despite his wonderful intentions.

very cute short thing about bert being nervous to meet gerard’s parents after they’ve been dating for a while. no warnings except swearing, but my blog url currently has a curse word in it, so anyone reading this is probably fine with that, haha! one shot. 483 words.

keats' 2023 halloweenie muses (bios)!

nick robinson as kyser collins, the werewolf holding back his true nature for fear of hurting anyone. kyser is kind, thoughtful and aims to be honest, but the way he lies about what he really in pushes people away, building up massive walls and an almost shadow image of himself that he projects to others rather that letting them get anywhere near him.

riley keough as gillian owens, the witch with a streak of bad luck with love but the closest family anyone could ask for. trying to find a place in this world outside of the curse of bad men that've been in her life, and away from the sister who she'd been hiding from the world with for the last couple years. a witch unafraid of her magic but terrified to let anyone in.

jerermy allen white as gerard foster, the totally normal man with no predilection for blood or murder or anything. he's a totally normal guy with a really normal job who takes a normal amount of time off from his job actually. he doesn't travel and he would never hurt anyone. he's just your average neighbour. charming while awkward but in the kind of way that would never make you think anything of it.

melanie scrofano as carlie mangan, the monster hunter with ties to one of the biggest demons in hell. carlie works as a bartender at 'the good company' (asmodeus edition), and she takes on jobs to hunt down those who have broken the rules at the bar or who have ended up on asmodeus moll's bad side.

rain spencer as juno carter, the tragic survivor of a bloody massacre who is doing just fine. she's in therapy, she's got hobbies to take her mind off the event and she is actually really good. she does yoga now. she's fine. she sleeps fine and doesn't think about the fact that the killer was never fully confirmed. it's fine.

emily alyn lind as alice martin, the vampire with a habit of toying with humans. she is bored of playing it safe and hiding what she is, leading to her making bigger and more obvious messes everywhere she goes. a big bark but and even bigger bite. she's got a soft spot for sad boys, especially sad human boys.

for a starter from one my the halloweenie muses, like this post! note: halloweenie muses are only available in their original verse until after halloween, when based on popularity, they might be added to my main/genre roster of muses! they are not available in regular wheel of muses starter calls.

[sunburstsandmoonshadows]

hey, I've seen your "Elody and Gerard" speculations and wanted to add my two cents; in this version, Gerard's princess isn't Elody, it's just some random princess. so the fact that he recognizes her might help in finding one another

also can't get over the image of Elody slowly covering marriage portraits while talking with the princesses like "no, no, no, I don't have a prince, what am I doing, oh just covering this painting of what is definitely my parents with cloth, don't mind me"

....huh, I guess you're right. When we had gotten the "thrown against the wall" bit, I had assumed that was Elody, but she isn't named in that moment, is she? That makes things easier, lol.

"All of these paintings? Of my parents! And.... they've got smoke damage! So we're covering them, because they're ugly, so you don't have to look at them. Please don't, actually," Elody says quickly.

"What about that one?" someone in the princess brigade says, pointing to the one huge painting of Elody and Gerard she managed to forget about. It depicted their wedding day, swaddled in splendor and happy faces. She had tried not to look at it for a while after... well, everything.

"Uh." says Elody, sweating. She was about as moist as a slightly unloved cursed frogman. "My parents..... were very eager to see me married. Very, very eager. That's their dream wedding for me. No actual prince showed up, of course."

"Of course," says one of the princesses.

Having a total of perhaps one royal set of parents a princess was actually raised by for a while, featuring a dead-too-soon king and envious step-queen, none of them were in the position to say that wasn't what royal parents did. They moved on.

Elody let them pass, put her head in her hands, and silently screamed for many, many reasons.

[revengeromance]
