Busy season is upon us and we're going a little crazy so enjoy the culmination of a fevered conversation we had in the office:

Lestat talking about Louis

Not my group member sending me a “oh yeah by the way” text to let me know he forgot to tell me he has a driving test at the exact same time as the presentation and that he won’t be able to attend the presentation but he wishes me and the one other member who just popped up last week after multiple emails since November showed up, “all the best on the presentation” and that I should let him know how it went…

driving tests are booked weeks in advance in London so you knew the whole time you weren’t going to present…

Can you tell us what an evil normal's family dynamic is like in this au :))))

Being super honest - haven’t thought about it before now LOL but now that you’ve got me started it will be long

That being said, I think his family dynamic would start off fairly similar to that in the podcast. Things would get slippery after the dance, with Sparrow’s “not proud of you” speech.

Normal wouldn’t be completely vulnerable to Willy’s manipulation at that point BUT it was stated Normal has sorta been set up to be vulnerable to cult-like manipulation - albeit accidentally - by Rebecca’s parenting.

Personally, I think Normal would have the strongest attachment to his mother, in this circumstance. She’s just as unaware of this vulnerability she instilled in him, as he is. Not to say their relationship would be entirely healthy, but it would be the least hostile.

However, Willy could definitely have a strong influence on him and seems the type who’d actively insert doubts in Norm’s mind, surrounding his family. Like given enough ammunition from the twins behaviour, it would not. be. hard.

Already within the Oak-Swallows-Garcia family, there seems to be some brick work laid out for Triangulation. Whether intentionally or not, the adults in the house have set Normal and Hero up against one another. This - from personal experience - is very impactful, especially on children. So, the way I see this progressing is Normal and Hero’s relationship would worsen HORRENDOUSLY.

Unlike the typical argumentative behaviour we’ve seen with them, it would develop to genuine disdain for one another. Normal siding with Willy would put Hero right back in the Chosen One slot. The weight of that burden not only from her parental figures, but unintentionally from her brother would be soul crushing. Normal would hate her for being on this pedestal, and Hero would hate him for putting her back up there.

The twins dynamic with him would be interesting. I see him and Sparrow having a dynamic similar to that of post-rogue card Lark and Henry. With Willy’s influence, Sparrow would have a very difficult time getting through to Normal - whether he says the wrong thing or Normal is too caught up in his own anger, it’s like chipping into rock with a fucking spoon.

In Lark’s case, it’s like staring into a mirror. The anger. The resentment. All it took was a push from the wrong person and that happy, carefree kid might as well be dead and buried. Now we’ve seen Lark step in to apologize on Sparrow’s behalf a few times. With this, I think Normal would harbour some trust in Lark.

Of course, their relationship would still be difficult at the height of this whole twisted lil game. But Normal craves validation from those around him. Most importantly, that of a father figure. If Lark - seeing his nephew going through something so terribly familiar and damaging - were to attempt bridging the gap, I think it would be such a big impact on Normal.

Long story short: the whole family would need counselling, they are in such a state of emotional ruin

the fisherman might get a canon design + story stuff that'll contradict this in dredge but i started making up a backstory for him in my head while playing so i'm making a design to go with it. guy who died and came back wrong and also fish, and is gay and weird for the collector

[oh-katsuki]

being a little bit more assertive than usual with gojo in your everyday life and in response he just rolls his head to the side, gives you a lopsided grin, and says “is that right, daddy?”

you tell him you want fish and not pasta and he gives you a slick little smile and says “yeah, daddy?”

fuck you kill yourself dry swallowing pills is literally so easy dumbass

It's not about easy, my friend. Dry swallowing pills over time can cause bleeding and burn a hole in your esophagus. At the very least, they can get stuck or severely irritate your esophagus. It's dangerous, and the way that's its extremely normalized in movies and shows is also dangerous.

I wonder how a vampire feels hunger. For regular humans it's just aching and digestive juices and hollowness because we take in solid food. But vampires? Is it extreme thirst? Do their tongues and lips dry so hard and hoarse?

humans feel hunger through the stomach because of solid food but where do vampires feel THEIR hunger??

the homoerotic tension that happens when slasher camlil stitch up each other's wounds is insane -🌑

I wrote like 2k last night and literally all it was was just Lilith carefully washing Camila's hands after Lilith killed a man in front of her and Cami got caught in the blood spray. Their tension is crazy I genuinely don't know if it's better before or after they finally kiss.

Anyway!! Lilith is always getting herself stabbed, Cami learns to become a not half bad field medic after Jillian teaches her how to do stitches correctly. She has steady hands, even when Lilith is bleeding out below her and cracking bad jokes.

"Stop making me laugh, I'm gonna fuck up your stitches." Cami is still smiling despite herself because Lilith is soft around the edges and that doesn't happen very often.

Lilith, way too high after Camila forced her to take pain meds: "your face doesn't look right when ur not smiling at me"

"gee you really know how to sweet talk a girl."
