@deputyclank : breathe - muse a holds muse b closely to help them wind down after a stressful day/event
lucille had confidence that russell and the other residents of alexandria would step up and fight for her when negan came knocking on their door. part of her wanted them to stand down and be safe, but she knew this taking back wasn't going to be forever. her ex-husband would be on high alert. he'd have the saviors on the highest alarms . . . but there was a caveat. russell and lucille had formerly been on the other side. he was still in the same warehouse, and they knew every corner of it. and if his strategies remained similar? he didn't stand a chance.
that didn't mean that when the day came a few weeks later that it wasn't messy. it was. but there didn't seem to be any losses on alexandria's side when they stealthily started to ambush the compound. there were injuries, but nothing too grave. the saviors, however? the higher ups had to be cut down, but others were quick to fold when they saw their old friend. when he was able to convince them to fight for their own women and seek the freedom they had all daydreamed about - the very freedom that russell had made a reality.
the final scene at the compound played out in lucille's mind as she stood under the shower water back in alexandria, the water still running with streaks of red from the blood that had covered her frame. the sound of the barbed bat he had named after her echoed in her mind as she dragged it along the concrete floor towards where her ex-husband was kneeling, flanked by a blend of old friends and new converts. russell stood at the head of all of them. this was for him just as much her.
he had tried to back back at her when she lifted the bat to chest level. he had tried to get one last laugh about seeing her in a dominating position over him one last time. he had tried to not show his fear, but she knew those eyes. she knew there was a fucking coward behind them. that that spark in his eye was a plea for mercy.
she had lifted the bat over her head and let it come crashing down as hard as she could on the top of his head. it bounced, but the barbed wire caught scalp and hair as he crumpled forward. her boot found its way in his chest to shove him backwards and release the bat before she found years of pent up aggression being released as she slammed the bat down again. and again. and again. over and over until there was hardly anything recognizable left, certainly from the shoulders up. she dropped the bat with an echoing clank against the floor as she stood over him, covered in blood that had sprayed back as others stood there in a stunned somber. russell had been the one to move first after a moment, towards her to guide her out of the warehouse that what remained of negan would rot. or the walkers would come for his remains. or the maggots. she really didn't fucking care.
she sniffed a breath as she lifted a hand to turn off the shower water, taking a moment to dry herself off before she emerged from the bathroom. she changed into some fresh clothes before she went to soak up the evening sun on the back porch of their home that overlooked the western field and play area for some of the residents' kids. alexandria had continued to move as if it were any other evening, and she watched some of the kids running and playing and prayed that they didn't have to grow up in a world with negans and walkers. but then she remembered, this was all these kids knew.
she glanced over when the back door opened and her husband emerged, forcing the best smile she could. but russell knew how exhausted and spent she was. he took a seat next to her, and she immediately scooted closer to him to lean over and press her cheek against his shoulder while his arms snugly hugged her to him.
" i went that day because i knew you would find me, " she confessed in a quiet, slightly distant voice. " i would've done the same for you. nothing's ever gonna rip us apart. "

a plotted starter for @deputyclank because my feelings need to be hurt worse, i guess.
in thirty-six hours, their world had turned to shit. it had started with david shooting a maddened rory at the baseball game, and from there, their tiny world in odgen marsh had fallen to pieces. she had heard russell talk about investigating a pilot found in the marsh, how the plane went missing. then, the water had been shut off. contamination, he said. whatever was making the town crazy was spilling into the waterworks, and those who lived closest to it were the first victims.
her first thought had been russell’s house. he lived just a few minutes away from the lake. she had stayed with him a few nights recently. WAS SHE GOING TO GET SICK? was it a matter of time before whatever this was ate away at her brain until she was a maniac?
russell was starting to show signs. she had suspected it at judy and david’s. it was more than just a few protective wasted bullets. the look in his eye was cold, distant. it wasn’t the same man she had been with just hours earlier. he was reckless and impulsive, two things that russell clank was not. not the russell she knew. not the russell who had been scared out of his mind of getting caught shutting the water tower off.
she hadn’t been paying much attention on the road, digging through the backpack she was carrying for one of the bottles of water she had packed from judy and david’s garage. she had checked in on becca, whose throat was pretty sore from the accident at the car wash. that’s when russell spotted his cruiser, and she was quick to his side to look for any resources left inside. she barely had enough time to notice him grab the spike strips, throwing it in front of the government suv. not only to stop the van. but to MURDER the man inside before they were able to receive any real information from him.
the russell she knew and loved was slipping through her fingers minute by minute. as they confronted him, he pulled a gun, aiming at the group - aiming at her. the lifelessness behind his eyes caused her heart to shatter, but she kept walking. several thoughts were racing through her mind at once. how becca was shaking from fear. how the last conversation she had with her dad was SIX DAYS AGO . where was her dad and step-mom? her brothers, their wives, and children? were they still alive? had they gotten out? AND THEN RUSSELL.
as soon as he entered her mind, david mentioned confronting him. her window. she stopped walking and turned on her heels in one movement, her jaw set and hands immediately shooting in the air to proclaim her intention to do no harm.
“ H - HEY. hey, stop, ” she quickly warned him, taking a slow step towards him. “listen, i’m not going to hurt you . . . i just want to talk, russ. BABY, PLEASE. ”

@deputyclank : ‘ you wanna hear a lie? i… think you’re great. you’re my best friend. ’
brown eyes widened as he looked over at the deputy. he and russell had an . . . interesting dynamic. completely fueled by equal parts respect and hate, he figured.
“ i thought honesty was the best policy, deputy clank , ” he sighed, shaking his head. “ i mean, that’s what you told me the night you asked if i had any weed in my car . . . this town’s leadership is sure going down the drain, huh? ”

I love seeing @deputyclank and @luckheist on my dash. You can tell how much they love their characters and how passionate they are about what they create. They’re so welcoming and friendly and are always excited to bring someone into the universe they’ve built to make their partners feel included. They deserve all of the sprinkles on their cupcakes.

@deputyclank ━━━━━ s.c
Flinching at the sound of a truck door slamming, the woman's bruised fingers are already closing around the worn wooden stock of the sawed-off. Rising from the only surviving chair at the kitchen table, Jean ignores every screaming fiber of her body as she tenses once again for those cultist bastards to smash the door open. The cheerful little knock that drifts through the empty home startles her for a second time in the last handful of minutes.
Eyebrows knitting together in a moment of dumb confusion, Jean slowly makes her way through the debris that's still strewn carelessly across the front hall runner where it had fallen during the raid. Broken glass, a smashed coffee table, the scattered insides of the couch they'd searched for money. It all fails to register in Jean's tunnel vision trained on the door. Grip on the shotgun never wavering, she squints through the sheer curtains flanking the window on the front door. Whoever is out there began humming quietly to themselves as they waited for either her or her brother to answer the door.
Pulling open the wooden door that showers the carpet with a few more splinters from the lock that had been kicked in, the shotgun falls heavy against Jean's side as she blinks into the too-bright sun. A wash of fresh Montana air rushes into the hollow home, disturbing the stasis of chaos that Jean had been stuck in for the past four hours.
❛ Russ? ❛ Voice hoarse, Jean stood there numbly. Face gaunt with a dark smear of a bruise across her left jawline from where one of the peggies had clocked her with their rifle. They'd taken her brother and grandfather, leaving her on the floor from where she'd crumpled. It's coming back in bits and pieces, whatever anchors that had been holding her before the door opened now falling away.

@deputyclank asked steve: “ stop throwing stuff , what is wrong with you ?! ”
⤷ MEME
❝ i’m trying to lure it away. ❞ steve turns towards the officer, speaking in a hushed tone. as quickly as he looked to the man beside him, he looked forward again, scooping up another rock from the ground. he grips it tight, adrenaline racing through his veins. from their hidden position, he chucks the rock across the way, it colliding with shrubbery and probably the trunk of a tree nearby. ❝ unless you have a better idea, officer. ❞ this time he didn’t look back. ❝ i’m not planning on living with any more survivor’s guilt than i already am. i sure as hell am not letting those kids face that demogorgon. ❞
especially not up close. especially not while el - jane isn’t with them. sure, he knows the kids can handle themselves. but he’s not taking any risks. the party’s lost too many people already. he doesn’t need anyone dealing with any more loss. they’re too young to deal with that.
looking at the ground, he notices he’s running out of shit to throw. he grabs a smaller rock, chucking it in the same direction. hopefully he doesn’t draw the monster’s attention their way. he’s hoping it moves away from the two of them and the kids.

Send Jules urls for good vibes !!! || I always accept these !!
@oathkept !!! Also let it be KNOWN @deputyclank also sent me to talk about @luckheist so I am gonna talk about Mox’s Bev & Felicia sooooo here we go!
MOXXXXXXXX Yes okay fantastic! Mox’s Beverly is by far one of the most well-written muses I have ever come across. It is really evident how much Mox cares about Beverly and not only that can we take a moment and just talk about Mox. Mox is literally one of the strongest people I have ever met. No matter what she is faced with she faces it head-on, she makes sure she knows what she is talking about and keeps her head high. She is graceful, kind, and is herself without catering to things people may do to her and that is so important. I can not think of anyone else on this platform who is as strong as her and that is incredible. I genuinely do not think the dictionary has a proper word or string of words to describe just everything that is Mox. She is her own entity alone that surpasses the proper ability to have actual words in the dictionary fit her as a person. That bleeds into what she writes, it is clear on her Beverly blog and it is clear on her Felicia blog. She approaches both characters with such love that you can see in everything even just the simple aesthetic posts she reblogs. She knows exactly what she is doing, she knows exactly what she is writing and she knows exactly who her muses are and no one can ever take that away from her because it is hers. Mox is just an incredibly talented and incredible person who deserves the world and is absolutely a gem.

today is @maskeraide / @drstmbrg / @deputyclank ‘s birthday and i have a few things that i really need to say .
i met mercy way back in late last year and not long after my life on here got a little crazy . she BARELY knew me and could have easily said “ y’know , this is a lot . i wish you the best . ” but she didn’t . mercy fucking stood by me through so much shit it’s ridiculous . so many days she just checked in to make sure i was okay , made sure that i was eating and hydrating , and just made sure that my mental health was intact while i was dealing with drama and bullshit .
there was something about that that brought us closer than our characters ever could . yes ... she became a HUGE part of lilly’s blog . arnie and lilly go hand in hand and i’m so fucking happy to have that in character interaction . i could go on for days and days about how amazing a writer mercy is . because she’s fucking phenomenal . but that’s not what this is about .
this is about MERCY .
mercy is my best friend . that’s so easy to say and to know because this woman has weekly movie dates with me . she’s around so much that my boyfriend has become part of our friendship and vice versa . every friday night , i know i can always count on a really good time no matter what we’re watching . it’s something i look forward to . it’s something that makes my week so much better after things have been shit . or it makes things even better when it’s been a good week .
i remember when my childhood and highschool best friend passed at the beginning of this year . i was an absolute wreck . and mercy sat and let me talk about him , tell her stories about a man that she knew nothing about . she let me send old recordings to share his passion for his music . she was there for me every step of the grieving process and i couldn’t be more thankful for her for that .
there is no shortage of things i could say about mercy . i’m so goddamn lucky to know her . my life would be worse without her . and i’m so glad she puts up with my stupid ass .
i can go to her about anything and everything . i can laugh , joke , cry ... i can talk about anything that’s going on in my life . and i feel like a part of hers .
i just wanted to say that on today , your birthday , i love you
i love you tons
and i hope that you know how amazing and wonderful you are <3

@deputyclank ( gv: blackhills )
it was the day of the festival and luckily for her , she was able to attend . not that she originally was as she wasn’t one for going out . her usual was staying in and studying but a few friends urged her to go and have a bit of fun . Of course work came first . saving up for her very own car . a 1970 ford f-150. a truck she had been eyeing for a while since her neighbor had shown it to her when she was barely in high school . every penny counted and here she was , just laying the littlest one down for a nap when she heard the door open .
“ morning , sir . “ she smiled . “ good shift ? “ astoria enjoyed babysitting for the deputy and his wife . they were very good and nice people . and they trusted her . not to mention, had two of the most precious boys .

“Did you hear that?” - Blair Witch AU PLEASE
The actress had gotten herself lost in the Black Hills and turned around during film shooting. Madison Montgomery was the lead actress of the latest film adaption about what happened to the three missing film students. It was supposed to be her big comeback film. However, nothing was going the way it was supposed to. Dress an overly sexualized version of Heather Donahue’s outfit. She was far from the camera ready covered in the muck and mire of the forest.
Nervously Madison held onto the back of the deputy’s jacket. Amber eyes filled with nothing but fear since the moment he found her. When she heard the sound, she clung to the coat. Scared of being separated, fearful of getting lost again. The diva attitude literally scared out of her. She was a pale comparison to what she was in the tabloids. “Yes…..” Her skinny legs trembled in fear. “How far until we get back to the crew cabin?”
