#ghoul disclosure

[everybodyshusband]

i'm begging asking very nicely for some simple ghoulette drabble prompts because february is almost over and it is a CRIME that i haven't written anything for femslash february yet >:(

(i've had a couple ideas rattling around in my brain but the one i want to write is going to take a while, and there's THIRTEEN AND A HALF HOURS LEFT, FUCK not long left until the month is over, haha!)

[eggsrblue]

I finally drew Rhubarb again and I made some ocs to go with him!!

I'll fit them into the story I have for Rhubarb somehow :,)

[prokopetz]

A recurring theme I see in discussion of the present wave of Internet content regulation bills is the presumption that politicians are just so old and out of touch that they don't realise that these bills will have a deleterious effect on everyday communication. Y'all, they know. By and large, modern governments just don't want people talking to each other – they'd cheerfully impose licensing, monitoring, and identity disclosure requirements on talking to the person sitting next to you on the bus if there was any practicable means of doing so. Don't give these ghouls the benefit of the doubt.

[loving-n0t-heyting]

saw a bunch of libertarians citing the recent and from what i can tell very awful case of indi gregory, a small child with a rare mitochondrial illness taken off nhs life support whose parents were denied the right to transfer her to an italian hospital that agreed to see to her medical needs. which was ofc trotted out as an illustration of the evils of statist health care, death panels, etc

the obvious retort here ofc is that the main effect of privatising healthcare on cases like these is to multiply them, but what particularly interested me was the judge who issued that ruling, robert roger peel. turns out peel is currently the lead judge of the uk's financial remedies court (for determining financial disputes between divorced or separated couples), and has published an interesting couple of articles on his (very positive) assessment of the court. a lot of his focus is trained on time/cost minimising, settlement:trial ratio maximising measures for the court to implement or that the court has implemented, including (from the 2nd one)

the extensive use of "private fdr's," a sort of privatised dispute resolution in place of the court itself, in which an ex-couple hires a "private fdr judge" (could be a solicitor, barrister or retired judge) to rule on their case without recourse to the actual judicial system. ("So too the widespread use of Private FDRs. Judges need little persuasion to permit parties to attend a Private FDR and return to court thereafter for, as the case may be, a mention hearing to endorse the consent order, or a directions hearing to timetable to trial. The use of Private FDRs has in turn relieved pressure on the courts.")

the use of single lawyers simultaneously representing both members of the former couple, explicitly in order to undermine the costly adversarial nature of the legal proceedings. ("The Single Lawyer Model, for example, has attracted much interest. The aim is to enable parties to engage jointly one lawyer whose instructions are to gather the relevant facts and disclosure, and make a considered recommendation. The advantages are two-fold: (1) it ordinarily takes place at a very early stage of proceedings, or even before issue; and (2) the joint instruction of a single lawyer removes the parties from the adversarial world of separately instructed legal representation.")

the liberal awarding of costs orders, seemingly as a punitive and deterrent measure, to litigating parties the judge deems to be litigating unreasonably or insufficiently flexibly ("Similarly, I have repeated the mantra that judges should not be afraid to make costs orders where justified, particularly if one or other party does not litigate reasonably, and/or does not make reasonable open offers. [...] I appreciate that it is more difficult to do so when the assets are barely enough to meet needs, but even in those cases a judge is entitled to consider whether to make a costs award, however modest, to mark the court’s displeasure at the litigation conduct of the miscreant party.")

summary judgements in a majority of trial cases, without hearing of any oral testimony ("In an article I did last year for the Financial Remedies Journal, I said this: ‘It has sometimes seemed to me that many cases could be fairly disposed of with no oral evidence.’ My point was that as part of a drive for efficiency, cases could be swiftly dispatched without oral testimony where the factual and financial landscape is reasonably clear, and it would not be proportionate to explore relatively minor factual issues in the witness box. I suspect that will be the majority of cases")

in short, while this is definitely not an area where i have domain knowledge, my first impression is that the judge responsible directly for this decision is sort of a miserly ghoul happy to undermine the rights of individual brits in the service of shrinking and cost-cutting that portion of the govt over which he exercises authority. (to his credit he does at least declare the lack of public funding for legal representation to be "iniquitous", tho ofc that bit is out of his hands.) many such cases!

I came home from the seaside with no wifi (as soon as I came back Bee went "I missed our unhinged ass", I feel so loved) two days ago, so I am back on my "Ghouls on vacation headcanons" bullshit

more specificaly: what patterns would the four surfer Ghouls (Rain, Swiss, Sunshine and Aurora) have on their boards

full disclosure: I have never surfed and I'm not an expert on surfboards, this is PURELY about the colours

photos and extra descriptions under the cut :3

RAIN

he'd go for either monochrome (obviously blue) or some sort of sea-related pattern. When I saw the bottom photo, I immediately headcanoned it being a gift to him from the pack. It's his favourite one and he makes sure he takes care of it properly

SWISS

I can't really explain this one, but as soon as I saw the one on the bottom I went "yeah Swiss has that one" so... he gives off the vibes of owning all of these

SUNSHINE

inspired by her name, she leans towards the colours of the sunset, although a occasional floral pattern is just as loved

AURORA

she is the pretty princess and her boards reflect that. Once she learns how to surf properly, she immediately goes for the pink boards. Her first ones are simple, but eventually she changes it up to patterned ones. She sees the bottom right one a while later and immediately decides to get it, even if it's not that pink

all photos are from Pinterest

this is all for now, I have some drawings in the making that will hopefully be finished some time soon :3

✨🍁🐈‍⬛🎃💛✨

REQUESTS ARE NOW OPEN for anything related to AUTUMN and HALLOWEEN! Please read this entire post for complete information, and if you're new, please take a look at my Masterlist.

This is my general theme and what I expect to cover this season, however, feel free to send in absolutely anything! I will definitely deviate from the regularly scheduled program if I like an idea. More info and prompt lists below.

Werewolf Wednesday - Werewolves 🌕🐺🌕

†hursday - Demons, Devils, Exorcists, Possession, and any related themes 🔥😈🔥

I’m only writing for Mills, Flip, Jacques, and Kylo for big oneshots. I will do HC’s for anyone I have ever written for. I am open to shorter ideas for Clyde and Henry, although full disclosure, they interest me a lot less these days, so any idea would have to really pique my interest. I have a strong preference for horror, adventure, and AU's.

This is an Adults Only event. My content is not for minors, or people who are easily triggered or offended. I write mature content intended for a mature audience only.

My Official Lineup will be announced October 1.

Here are Halloween fics from previous years.

Halloween Fic Recap 2022

Halloween Fic Recap 2021

Halloween Fic Recap 2020

This is my favorite time of the year! As far as I’m concerned, Halloween runs from September 1 - November 15, if not longer! I currently have a big fic to finish up that should be done soon, but nothing else slated fic wise. After that, it’s full steam ahead for anything and everything related to Autumn and Halloween. I generally put aside other non-fic writing projects during this time to focus on Halloween content.

For the week of Halloween, October 25 - October 31, I intend to post a big daily oneshot. My stories generally range in size from 5k to 25k, and some are even more! Look for a mix of horror, humor, romance, and adventure! Everything will contain adult themes and mature content. There may be other writing throughout this time too. The quantity of stories I post depends on the length of them. In the past, I have posted a lot of shorter things, but I’ve gotten more into writing longer stories now. The last few years, I have averaged over 100k words for Halloween and Autumn content!

Please send me requests, ideas, thoughts, HCs, anything you like! I’ll pick my favorites or, very likely, a combination of a few different ideas, and I’ll write a oneshot that includes everything I can fit in. Feel free to send in multiple ideas or requests! The more ideas to choose from, the better! All AU concepts, time periods, etc are welcome. Anything is fair game. This is generally the only time of year I open requests anymore, so get them in if you ever want to. Requests will be open from now until Halloween. However, because I tend to write longer stories, the sooner an idea comes it, the more likely I am to use it.

Below the cut are some of my favorite prompt lists, but do not feel bound by them. If you do include a prompt in your request, copy and paste the prompt itself because I hate chasing them down on lists.

The medium and the nameless ghouls

Case file 006-5 Sunshine file The Director's Involvement

Sara whines up in hot water from her superiors after ratting out her former boss about his mishandling of her cases. The Director gets her a job in the clergy after she gets laid off from the district. Without the help of William and Detective John Stevens at her side, how would she handle her new assignments on her own?

Sara has returned to the clergy with a tired look on her face. She is on probation due to the investigation of District 9. Sara walks up the steps of the cathedral and finds Copia. He is wearing a long blue papal dress ordained with crystals and seven-pointed pentagrams. Copia noticed Sara looking exhausted. Copia excuses himself as he's shaking the hands of the brothers of sin.

"Sara?" Copia hugs Sara and kisses her forehead. "What happened? I was worried."

"Uncle Copia, I..." Sara looks at the Director with a strange woman with white empty eyes. "Markus?"

"Where are the ghouls?" The woman coldly asked.

Markus introduced the woman to Sara. "Sara, this is my secretary."

The secretary slightly bowed to Sara. "Omega and Phil left the clergy without permission and made a mess in Sister Imperator's office. We need to know where they are."

Sara sighs and looks at Markus. "Can we talk in private?"

Markus understood. They went to the Director's office. She started to explain what happened.

"You're on probation?! Why? You did nothing wrong!" Copia yells.

Sara looks at Copia. "Look, this isn't my choice. My superiors went too far. They tried to force me to sign a non-disclosure agreement. I'm a potential witness to their crimes and a whistleblower. I'm screwed either way."

"So, Omega and Phil are with you?" The secretary asked.

"Yes, they are being my bodyguards for now. My dad gave them the orders." Sara told Markus.

"Alex should have come to me first." Markus leans against his chair. "The ghouls are under the servitude of the clergy. They are not allowed to leave, even if they have consent."

The group heard a knock on the door. Copia opens the door. Phil standing there with a stack of four Frappuccino. "Sara, there you are. Did you tell them..." Phil froze as the director sternly gazes at him. "Just to let you know, it's her father's fault."

"We know," The secretary coldly said. "She told us. You became her bodyguards."

"Phil, sit down." Phil sits and starts drinking one of the cups. "You don't need that much coffee." The director told Phil.

"Fuck you! I earned these!" Phil covers himself with his wings and drinks.

Copia noticed Alexander at the door. "Mind if we come in? There is something we need to discuss." The director nods his head. "Maggie?" Alexander and Maggie enter the room and close the door. "Sara, We have some good news and some bad news."

"That's not good..." Copia wonders.

"Your electronics are safe. They are with Detective John Stevens," Maggie told Sara. "and granted witness protection."

"And bad news?" Copia asked.

"There's a warrant out for your arrest," Alexander spoke. Everyone gasps in disbelief. "You won't be going back home any time soon."

"No problem. I can find a place to lay low for a while."

The secretary smiles and leans to the director. "Sir, we do have an opening due to the death of Sister Lucia."

The director smiles at her. "Get me the paperwork."

"Right away, sir." The secretary leaves the room.

"Ah! ha..." Phil lowered his wings and hisses as he grabbed his head. "That hurts."

Sara asked Phil. "Headache?"

"No... Brain freeze..." Phil hisses.

"That's what happens when you gulp them down too fast," Copia told Phil.

"I won't be lectured by a man who still drinking from a juice box," Phil said in Terzo's voice.

"Uncle Terzo!" Sara yelled.

"Master Terzo, that wasn't very nice." Phil scolded. "Especially when you're using my body as a vessel." Phil looks at Copia. "I'm so sorry, Master Copia."

"No, it's fine," Copia told Phil.

"I'm sorry to interrupt, but what do you mean by vessel," Alexander asked.

Phil looks at Alexander. "Well, I found Terzo's spirit fragment floating around the clergy. I use the summoning chamber to become his vessel. It worked, but it caused a rift within the clergy."

"I heard rumors about it. The ghouls are dissenting the clergy council." The secretary enters the room. "Ah, did you get them?"

The secretary smiles. "Here's the paperwork along with the anonymous application." She hands the paperwork to the director.

"Perfect!" The director begins to start working on it. "Sara, I'm doing this as a favor. Since I know you can't do this on your own." He gives the contract to the secretary. The secretary gives it to Sara. "That's your contract. Sign your name on the contract, and we will protect you."

Sara took a good look at it. "Sierra Emeritus?"

"That will be your name within the clergy. Sara, you are an Emeritus. The granddaughter of Prime Mover Elizabeth and Papa Emeritus Primo." The director paused. "The clergy needs your help and Terzo too."

She hands the contract to Alexander. "Dad, take a look at this contract."

Alexander takes out his reading glasses and puts them on. "This is a witness protection contract." He reads the contract thoroughly. "Seems to be nothing out of the ordinary. Though this is a temporary agreement." He looks deeper. "I see... If she messed up, the contract can be terminated." He finally finished reading the contract. "Well, it's legal. There's nothing in here. That would hurt the law."

"So, it's safe to sign it, dad?" Sara asked.

"Yes, it's safe to sign it." Alexander gives the contract back to Sara along with a pen.

Sara takes off the cap of the pen. She gets ready to sign. Phil stops Sara. Phil turns into Terzo. "Don't do it. It's not worth it. I want you to be free." Terzo told Sara. "Once you sign, you end up a prisoner, just like me and my brothers." Terzo slices his finger and presses it on the paper. Hidden words began to appear. The name Papa III appears in his blood. The contract catches on fire.

Maggie looks horrified. "Oh lord, have mercy. You almost signed your soul away."

Sara and Alexander's jaws drop. "Those contracts had been tampered with?" The director sternly looks at the burned contract. "Head Sister Rebecca Imperator..." He looks at his secretary. "Check all the written contracts and applications. We need to know if they have been tampered with magic."

Sara turned pale. "Copia, let's take her to the mansion. Where she can be safe." Terzo held Sara in his arms. "Omega, I need you. I'm in the Director's office." He started to rock her. "It's okay. You're safe." Sara held Terzo.

Omega arrived with the three other soul fragments. "I got your message. What happened?"

"The contracts have been tampered with Sister Imperator's magic. Sara needs our protection." Phil told Omega through Terzo.

"Good thing I stopped her before she signed it," Terzo spoke.

Omega snorts the three fragments join together and enter Phil's body. Omega goes over to Sara and purrs to calm her down. He soon picks Sara up and carries her. "I will take her to the mansion."

"Alright, be careful with her, Omega." Alexander turns to his secretary. "Maggie, go with them. Can you keep an eye on Sara?"

"Of course, Sir." Maggie left with Phil and Omega.

A brother of sin shows up at the door. "Papa Copia, the black mass is about to start. We're waiting for you."

"Oh shit, the mass! I'm sorry, I-I have to go." He rushes out with the brother of sin.

The secretary left and closed the door. Alexander and the director were both alone in the room.

The director broke the silence. "So, you gave orders to Omega and Phil. Is that true?"

"Yes, a good reason for it." He takes the audio recorder out of his pocket. "Listen to this recording of the operation we had." He plays the conversations through.

The director's eyes widened. He lowered his glasses. "So then, not only are they trying to do harm. They are trying to ruin her reputation and destroy her credibility." He banged his fist on his desk. "Those mother fuckers!"

"I had to, for my daughter's sake," He puts the recorder back in his pocket. "District 9 is corrupted. They will go after her. I'm her father. I worry about her."

"District 11 already taking notice. Her friends have been asking questions. They don't know about what's happening." The director looked at the photos of Elizabeth and his grandmother. "We have to protect her." He looks at Alexander. "The clergy has some of the toughest ghouls to protect her from harm. We have an opening to replace Sister Lucia. We can put her to work as a nun until the trial."

Alexander smiles. "Thank you. She's safe in your hands."

The director shows off the family photos. "This is something that my grandmother would have wanted. For her sister and her family."

Omega makes it to the mansion. He lays Sara on the couch. The other officers noticed Sara being pale. "Hey, is she okay?" One of the officers left to get the sergeant.

Phil looks at the officer. "No, she is not okay."

"Officer Sara," Sergeant Jackson approached Sara. "Sara, what happened? There is a warrant with your name on it." Sara explains the situation with the ninth district and the NDA. "Shit! Did you sign it?"

"No," Sara replied. "My dad has the recording. He is going to use it as evidence against them."

"So, are you going to sue?" Sara nods her head. "I see. Get some rest. I can pull some strings for you. The ninth district is going to pay for what they did." Sergeant Jackson gets the walkie-talkie. "Lieutenant Kibbles? Can you bring William Parker to the mansion? Sara is here."

Kibble's voice appears through. "Understood, sir."

Sara sees Elisabeth floating around the main hall. "Hey, grandma."

Elizabeth stops and sees Sara pale on the couch. "Oh, my sweet little granddaughter." She hugs Sara. Then holds her hand. "What happened? Why are you so pale?"

"It’s a long story, grandma. I don’t know where to start."

"I see," She looks at Omega. "Omega, take her to our bedroom so she can rest. My husband should be there."

"Yes, Mama Elizabeth." Omega takes Sara into the bedroom. He lays her down gently on the bed.

"What happened here?" Sara looks at Primo by the door. "This is the second time you came to my room."

"I almost got my soul sold by a rigged contract," Sara explains. "Uncle Terzo voided the contract before I got to sign it."

Primo sighs and scratches his head. He takes his chair and puts it next to the bed. "I can keep an eye on her from here." He sits in his chair. "You can take your leave. Unless you want to take a nap with her."

Phil takes off his shoes and lays down at her feet. Omega lays down next to her and yawns. He purrs loudly as he closes his eyes. The purring sounds of Phil and Omega calm Sara down. Sara grabs Omega’s arm as she falls asleep.

Dewdrop enters the room and sees Sara. He slowly creeps into the bed and lays down on the other side of Sara. He curls his tail over Sara's legs. He makes chirping sounds as he snores.

William enters the mansion and looks around for Sara. Maggie was in the kitchen helping make dinner. "William, if you're looking for Sara, she's in the upstairs bedroom."

Sunshine calls out to William. "She is with Master Primo. I can take you to her."

Maggie tells them. "Let Sara know that dinner is almost ready when you wake her up."

Terzo follows William and Sunshine to Primo’s bedroom. Primo is asleep in his rocking chair. Sara is sleeping with Omega, Dewdrop, and Phil. An angry look appears on Terzo’s face.

"Excuse me?" Terzo goes to Omega and removes his pillow. He slaps him with it. Omega wakes up along with Sara. "Care to explain yourself. Why are you sleeping with my niece? You are my ghoul, not hers. Now get up!"

"Leave them alone, Terzo." William hears Primo from the rocking chair. "Sara almost had her soul taken by a rigged contract." The room became silent.

William whispers. "No way…"

Terzo crossed his arms. "This is Sisters Imperator doing. Only she can pull something like this."

Primo looks at Terzo. "Brother, you are out of line."

Terzo looks at Primo and yells at him. "Look, she has a grudge against our father for years. She even murdered us to put that brat of hers as the next Papa. She is keeping herself in power by killing off the council!"

"Those are just assumptions," Terzo looks at Sara. "What he is asking, is there proof of her rigging the contract?"

"Proof?" Terzo hummed while scratching his head.

"None?" Sara leans forward. "I have worked in law enforcement for years. We can all blame Sister Imperator. But without evidence, she is innocent until proven guilty." Terzo is pissed. "We have to do an investigation first. I know about what happened. If you have the evidence. You can convict her."

Elizabeth entered the room and greets Sara. "Il mio piccolo girasole. You’re awake." She rushed to the bed. "So, tell me what happened to you?" Sara explained the situation NDA from the district and the rigged contract from the clergy. Elizabeth gasped. "Are you serious?"

"Dad managed to pull some strings and grant me witness protection and Markus is letting me work here until things are settled in the 9th district."

William thinks for a moment. "Sara, you’re on probation. You can’t leave your house. Can you?"

"Only if there are specific circumstances where it could be granted." Alexander appeared from the doorway. "You’re awake, thank goodness." Alexander breathed. "I was worried sick."

"Sorry, dad." Sara apologized.

"Come on, it’s almost time for dinner. Maggie is making her comfort food. Macaroni and cheese with broccoli, mashed potatoes with gravy, and of course fried chicken."

Terzo looks confused. "That doesn’t sound Italian."

"It’s not. It’s American cuisine." William grabs Terzo’s hand. "Come on." He takes Terzo out of the room.

Elizabeth looks at Alexander. "You have to explain to me what’s happening here."

Alexander shows the voice recorder. "I will explain after dinner, mom. I am starving."

"All right." Primo gets out of his chair. "Let’s eat dinner and then we’ll talk about the next step."

Top 5 Animated Scooby Doo Movies 

Scooby-Doo On Zombie Island

What happens when the monsters are real? The Scooby-verse is flipped on its head in this one, as we discover exactly that. And what an amazing soundtrack! Seriously, “It’s Terror Time Again” is an absolute banger! 

2. Scooby-Doo! and the Witch's Ghost

Three Words…The Hex Girls! This is the debut of the all female, goth rock group we all know and love! So for that alone, it’s a MUST for me. But I also really love the story of Sarah Ravencroft and the Autumn theme. It’s a delightfully witchy good time! And let’s be real, Ben Ravencroft is totally Stephen King inspired! 

3. Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase

Full disclosure, this one is probably only one of my most favorites because of nostalgia. It is the Scooby film that my family and I watched religiously. I recall when it was coming out, and how excited we were .Scooby was (is) kind of a big deal in my family. This one is a fun, cyber filled adventure where the gang has to progress through a computer game in order to defeat a phantom virus. It’s complete with cool Scooby Gang cyber versions, and an eventual face-to-face. 

4. Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School / Scooby-Doo! and the Reluctant Werewolf

I put both of these together because I love them both for the same reason…their inclusion of the classic movie monsters! The Wolfman, Dracula, The Mummy, The Frankenstein’s Monster, etc. Or in the case of Ghoul School ,their daughters (with small appearances from them). I’m Dracula obsessed, and to see the character in the Scooby Doo franchise makes me so happy! Ghoul School has its moments. Any time it focuses on the ghouls, it’s fantastic. I just think it has a pretty wonky, all over the place plot. As for the Reluctant Werewolf, I love the Wacky Racers-esque story. And shaggy himself becomes a werewolf! How cool is that! 

5. Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders

Shaggy and Scooby get abducted by aliens! And they both fall in love with a hippy girl and her golden retriever (who turn out to be the aliens). It’s just really fun to see how this all plays out, and how those two handle it. As well as how Velma, the brains of the group, copes with the idea of alien life existing. 

(I moved one of these around as I was typing this, because I realized as I reread it that maybe I liked some others just a bit more. Either way, these are still my most favs from my childhood!)

“You’re a bard and I’m coming to meet you. Outside the Met. Four hours form now,” she says, and hangs up before Eddie can say he has work, or that he’s too busy, or anything else that hasn’t happened yet but easily could happen this time. It’s a Tuesday in the middle of summer, the summer right after she graduated and hasn’t found a job yet. She leaves the city, then drives like a bat out of hell for as long as she can before finally hitting the New York traffic.

Nancy looks out at the water. “I guess you’re right,” she says softly. The thought of never getting to hold Robin again, never getting to kiss her like she so badly wants to, is a vice around her ribs that is only slightly loosened by the thought that she might have those things with Chrissy. “There’s no real reason not to, is there?”

from an upcoming ronance smut fic

“Sure,” Robin says. She slides ungracefully from her bar stool and joins Nancy on the dance floor, where Nancy’s arms move to around her waist (fantastic, 10/10), but her leg remains woefully far from being between Robin’s legs (reasonable but also greatly disappointing.) “I can’t believe you just struck out,” Robin says. “She looked so into you.” That’s what a chill, regular person who doesn’t have a giant crush on Nancy would say, right? Probably? Maybe?

from my abandoned Trobed fic

“Well, I was in town for my annual Bingo tournament, and we all went out to the bar to celebrate when who should I see but my good friend Jeffrey! Of course, I came over to say hi, and to my complete surprise—but delight, of course—when I asked if I could buy you a drink, you said, and I quote, ‘I suppose I can’t stop you.’ And the rest was fate, of course!” “And this is a real, legally binding marriage?” “Well of course, nothing but the best for my marriage! And the great news is, it’s legal in Colorado too, so we’ll be able to bring it home with us! Tell me, whose apartment should we live in? Full disclosure, mine’s a little messy, but it’s all part of the Craig Pelton charm, that’s what I say. Of course, there’s quite an argument to be made for your apartment too! Who knew that being married would have so many things to consider?”

and

“Troy, are you suggesting that we drive three hours to middle of nowhere Nevada because the name of the place makes you giggle?” “Well, are you suggesting we sit around for another three hours waiting for Annie to text us back when they’ve clearly all ditched us?” “Well, to get there we’d need a car.” Slow pan to the dresser, where Jeff had conveniently left the keys to his rental car before going out last night. Abed’s face curves into a smile. Across the room, Troy’s smile is identical. “Well, I guess we’re going to Gold Butte.”

Kinktober Day 16- Biting/Marking

Disclosure

Rating: Explicit

Pairing: Swiss/Rain

Contains: A seriously feral ghoul, possessive behavior, the unspoken agreement that Rain is about to spend an entire tour wearing scarves and turtlenecks and a whole bunch of bruises.

-

“I want you looking owned,” Swiss admits, voice low. He reaches, grabs Rain by the throat and pulls him in nice and close. And waits.

Rain lets it all sink in, head still feeling pleasantly fuzzy, and arousal washing overtop that to further muddle his cognition. He curls his fingers into the waist of Swiss’s trousers and tugs. Swiss’s hand tightens around his throat, and his Adam’s apple bobs against it. 

“Give me something to take on tour,” Rain says.

Eon Magazine “Strange in a Stranger Land”

B.K. McNair finally gets to talk to a member of the DynoGuard, providing the first full-length interview with the Dinosovian Emergency Response group’s leader, Dracora “Cora” Rex. She opens up about life the late cretaceous, the stresses of being a single mother in an alien time, the fossil ghoul threat, and an epoch’s worth of culture shock. 

Disclosure: Eon Magazine is owned by Anning Media Holdings, a subsidiary of AnningTech.

A bit of worldbuilding for DynoGuard and my first "canonical" "live action" dinosovian. 

Cora was made possible in large part to Midjourney's new remix feature, which allowed for tweaking of the prompt throughout to produce the raw material for the final edit. I started in v3, moved to --testp, and hit several variant prompts throughout. 

This makes prompt reporting tricky, but the main one was "photograph of [a pachycephalosaurus person, humanoid dinosaur, dracorex fursona] Forest ranger/park ranger, wearing a outdoors/hiking clothes in a national forest, admiring nature."

Clone OCs I have concocted that have yet to see the light of day:

Full disclosure I have no idea how the GAR is structured so idk if these numbers even work. They're 99% puns. Most of these guys have been sitting in my docs for a few years and I haven't found a good moment to use them. CAA is sitting at 600+ pages and we're just a few weeks past geonosis. So.... it'll be a while.

CM-3199 "Ducky" - A forensic specialist medical officer in the C-guard. He helps with cases involving deaths of important people involved with the Senate. Tends to talk to the corpses like he's having a nice chat, telling interesting anecdotes he read in the library. (yes he is a reference, and yes he has glasses) image

ARC-2553 "Buzz" - Originally in hive squad, but after surviving a very intense solo mission he was given arc status. He still works with Hive, but he has a fair amount of solo jobs.

CC-2550 "Bumble" - Commander of hive squad. The stoic older brother. He's a good leader.

CT-2551 "Stinger" - The sweet baby of the squad. He's an absolute sunshine child. Just the sweetest baby.

CT-2552 "Fluff" - The gruff angry hard ass. He hates his nickname, but his brothers insist on it because of his hair.

RC-6969 "Slice" - Entirely inspired by this post, I imagine him being just massive, intimidating in kartan black commando armor. All his files are sealed so no one, not even his commanders, are sure if that's actually his number or if he's just fucking with people.

RC-5457 "Shadow" - Just a commando that does a lot of work with Gree, or on worlds like kashyyyk that need camo. I really like the colors on Gree's black series figure and this guy is just to make a character that has that palette on commando armor. I'm sure they probably exist, but I wanted to make my own. His armor is beskar silver that comes through the green in a satisfying way.

CT-2111 "Sheer" - Fluffy hair. Curls. Sheep decals. Just...floof.

RC-1313 "Crypt" - Not to be confused with CT-1313 (had this guy in my notes for a while, debated posting because I didn't want to step on toes. But he's pretty different from commander Ghoul, @cloned-eyes has a wonderful character I've really enjoyed writing for.) They may have matching numbers, but where Ghoul is grumpy, and rightfully so, Crypt is more on the eccentric side. He's a writer and a little bit of a prankster. He enjoys taking the horror he sees and turning it into spooky stories to entertain others. (It helps him process loss and trauma) he's got a little bit of a horror streak, but in a nekozawa(Ouran high)/crypt keeper way. He 100% watches whatever the starwars equivalent of Elvira is. She's his first crush.

About the fic ask thing:

All your work is amazing and I love reading anything you post.

The last thing on your "husband writes" tag (doesn't have a name, it's regressed rain trying to hide his regression from dew) is so interesting to me. (full disclosure English is not my first language and I'm taking about stuff in unfamiliar with so I'm sorry if I say something wrong) First of all it's so we'll written it really takes me into Rain's head. I love your style of writing so much because everything is always so nicely written. This fic also feels que insightful into something that I don't experience and I love reading stuff that I'm not personally familiar with. Like I spent the whole time trying to figure out what rain wanted exactly and I'm not sure I got it but I've still come back to read it several times. I understand he did want comfort but there's a part where I just struggle to understand if he does want dew to discuss "grown-up stuff" when he is little or not (I think this might just be because I'm not a native English speaker). Idk if this makes sense, I guess in general any extra info you are willing to share about that fic I would love bc i genuinely like it so much. But I read it was kind of a vent fic so I would understand if you didn't want to expand on it. I will try to educate myself on regression tbh bc I'm not very knowledgeable and maybe that would answer my questions, so I won't really bother you with any specific ones. Just if you have anything else you'd like to share regarding that fic.

Thank you for taking the time to read all this, and I'm sorry rambled on for so long!

I hope you have a nice day 💖

i'm going to skip over your lovely, wonderful compliments, my dear anon, not because i don't appreciate them, but purely because i don't know how to respond without getting all mushy and aragrhhrg <3

in terms of the part you don't quite understand, that's not a problem with your english at all !! i tried to write it in a way that wouldn't really make sense :0 in my mind, rain gets frustrated when he's regressed because even though he's lived through so many experiences, the other ghouls won't talk to him about half of them when he's little (simply because the nature of these experiences could be distressing to him, even if rain doesn't think so). part of him knows that talking about it will make him feel worse, but with the mentality that he's in, he doesn't care, and sees their unwillingness to talk to him about certain issues as a way to channel their dislike of him, rather than them trying to help him be more comfortable. ...i hope that helped it make a little bit more sense ?

more under the cut because this got a little bit long :0

in terms of general ramblings about that fic (anon, please know i love you for enabling me to do this) i have so much to say but so little words to phrase my thoughts in the way i want to :0 i think the main thing i want to ramble about is rain's tendency for negative thoughts while he's regressed. i won't go into the specifics because i don't want to have to put any trigger warnings on your lovely ask, but in the scenario he was in in the fic you're referring to, he was regressing involuntarily.

something happened before the start of the fic that caused rain's mentality to slip into something even more awful than usual, and so his brain made the executive decision to shove him into a regressed headspace in order to keep him safe. the only problem with this is that when this happens, rain doesn't magically feel better; he feels just as awful as he did when he wasn't regressed, but the chances of him acting on those dangerous thoughts are lowered (although i definitely do want to write a fic/ficlet about rain doing exactly that one day, but that's a ramble for another time, haha !!) he so badly wants dew's comfort, but he can't manage to convince himself that he deserves it, and he's certain that any time dew spends with him is time wasted :(

i think that's about it for general rambling that i can think of for the moment, but i could ramble on about this fic (and any of my others too, to be honest) for days and days ! so please please please bother me with specific questions if you'd like to, haha !! i love answering them, even if it takes me a while. (and don't you dare apologise for coming into my inbox and sending me an ask that has made me smile every single day since you sent it >:0 thank you, my dear <;3)

fic ask game :>

AW Trivia

I thought it'd be a funny idea to include some fun facts about the prompts I make!

I ruin everything character things - actually based off a YT playlist I was listening to at the time! (Which also was called "I ruin everything")

Halloween Prompts - the first prompt was based off a very spicy but well done drawing they had seen (I think I was also thinking about Eddie Brock from MCU at this time and YOU KNOW WHY) and also my obsession for POTO which a college friend introduced me to (the 2004 version and yes I know technically there were a lot of things wrong but I know NOTHING and honestly hot damn) The last prompt under the cut was just kind of a sad reality that I wanted to give an uplifting spin to. I used to volunteer at a cat shelter so I'm always gonna be a little soft for cats

Dialogue prompt #52 - Batman was a real cat on my college campus. Unfortunately he passed earlier this March after getting hit by a car. I like to think he was very well-loved though and that he's resting now. He was a cutie, a cuddly black cat. Please remember to drive safe! Especially in high traffic areas or areas you know animals/people frequent! (Accidents happen and that's okay!! Just try to be as safe as you can!!) :3

things characters do that make me worship the ground they walk on - so many things. So so many things inspired this list. DSMP (Specifically Techno and TNTDuo), Tokyo Ghoul (Yoshimura, the nonkilling owl), Stranger Things ( Eddie and Steve), Be More Chill (Michael), myself, my high school world history teacher, and Phantom of the Opera (Erik Destler).

Dialogue Prompt #19 - My sister was the one who was very insistent on adopting everything. We volunteered at a cat shelter and if we could we would've. Unfortunately, I had to be the voice of reason. 😔 My mother will not let us adopt any pets it's a tragedy.

Dialogue Prompt #2 - Real life inspired by the fact that I call my friend a bootlicker because they like "country bumpkins." Cowboys. They like cowboys. And they wear cowboy boots too, but the point is that they like cowboys. I very much enjoy saying they have a cowboy kink only for them to try, and fail, to convince everyone that they do not. It's great we love my weird friend group.

Groupchat Tidbit #6 - A real life discord conversation between my friend and I. Full disclosure I was character B. I'm not even going to lie this was the funniest I've ever been. Like it's so cursed but I'm still giggling about it. My peak guys. My humor's already peaked and it's been downhill since.

Did you use a pattern for the ghoul mask or did you draft it yourself?

I used a pattern creator on the internet that takes images and turns them into patterns--and then I tweaked it to make it make sense. Full disclosure: the line art I used to generate the pattern is absolutely not mine--which is why these little friends are just for me. But they're too cute not to share.
