There are three ways to feed an immortal,

I finished How to Survive Camping and I am utterly enamored with it, and especially enamored with CupKate. Those two are really the couple of all time huh. Love confessions more heartwrenching than any allo romances I've probably ever read, a relationship that bopped back and forth from spouse ("spouse") to QPR to guy trying to kill you, but always always they were tied together at the soul.

Even now I can't really wrap my head around Beau not loving her the way she loved him (romantic or not, that was a love deeper than anything). Some things are not for me to know though.

The covers just dropped for the physical release/reedition of the How to Survive Camping series and I'm SO hyped.

more Kates since you guys appear to be starved of her

[banamine-bananime]

her big wet eyes and paws that would be trembling if she weren’t so utterly paralyzed by the crushing weight of knowing her own perpetual, ineffaceable helplessness . have me captivated

Goat Valley Campgrounds my beloved (the writing is so good, I am still wondering about what happens after the ending to everyone, still wondering what tmwns plans were in the short and long term, what Kate's parents would think of her now and more stories about them mayhaps, her brother, the old sheriff, Bryan, TLOS, and some side stories abt Kate and such :") )

for anyone who enjoyed the Hunt oneshot of RWD: Fainting Goat's How To Survive Camping may be for you!

Silly little post, buuut I made Kate and Beau in Monster of the Week. I couldn't help myself!

(Unfortunately no move exists that I could give Beau that would mechanically let him do the skull cup thing. But it's there in spirit. Let's just say he can do it because of course he can.)

Always love how much folklore especially creature folklore emphasizes that there is a way for you to win. These are the steps to ensure the dead don't rise: take them out through a hole in the wall and give them iron shoes. Vampires cannot abide sunlight. If you hear a dog howl on a churchyard path turn around and get home as fast as you can. Iron and salt and the colour red. None of this doomed idea, the world is incomprehensible but if you're a bit clever you'll survive it just fine, there's always ways out.

I started reading a collection of short stories online during the early part of the pandemic called [How to Survive Camping].

They're pretty fun! I wanted to draw one of the characters. 👁️👁️

RP With Me? :D (HTSC, IO2, STP)

IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN!

So... Hi! :3 For anyone who doesn't know me, I'm Kit, they/them pronouns, over 30 years old, and I'm looking for 18+ RP partners for some specific shippy small fandom/ship RPs!

The ships I'm looking for run the gamut -- M/F, F/F, and M/M, canonically -- but I am also totally open to trans headcanons as well, whether it matches with their canon genders or not, and am often into genderbending in general!

I am a big fan of pining, slow burn, hurt/comfort, and complicated relationships; I like any mix of plotty and shippy in my RP and I'm open smut scenes but it's not required. I RP in third person, I don't mind if it’s past or present tense, and I try to match length but tend to default to 2-6 paragraphs.

I'm looking for a few rare(ish) fandoms and rare ships:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How to Survive Camping by Bonnie Quinn (fainting--goat)

Kate/the man with the skull cup (aka Beau)

I am open to trying to play either character, though I've never written for either before! I would be completely happy to play other characters as side/supporting characters at the same time.

I am open to any ratio of ship to plot, probably slow-burn, set during the series or potentially post-series, following canon closely or doing a canon divergent AU… I could potentially even be into full AUs! I am happy to lean into the horror and fantasy/folklore and action stuff.

I am very into these two as a queerplatonic ship, a ship where they couldn't really put a name to what they are even if they felt inclined to… I am open to kissing or even smut but prefer all of this in a way that doesn't just erase Kate's identity. I am also open to trans headcanons or genderswap (though would rather not just cis genderswap Kate).

Inside Out 2 (Pixar Movie)

Anxiety/Ennui

I feel a bit more confident with Anxiety, but I am open to trying to play either character, though I've never written for either before! I would also be completely happy to play other characters as side/supporting characters at the same time, and am open to other ships between the emotions as secondary/background pairings.

(I am also into Anxiety/Ennui/Fear if anyone wanted to make it an OT3!)

I am open to any ratio of ship to plot, fast-burn or slow-burn; I love canon-compliant stuff set after the main plot of the movie, but could also be into canon divergent AUs or potentially even full AUs! I am into slice-of-life but also potentially plotty stuff like in the movies, or even other genres if full AU.

I am very open to smut with these two, though it isn't necessary! I am open to trans headcanons, or even genderswap, but those aren't necessary ether.

Slay the Princess (Visual Novel)

Cold/Paranoid

I do lean towards playing Paranoid, but that's a marginal preference I would also be super happy to play Cold instead! And I'd be completely happy to play other characters as side/supporting characters at the same time, especially the other voices but also others, and I'm open to other ships between other characters as background/secondary pairings.

I am open to any ratio of ship to plot, fast-burn or slow-born, set during the game somehow or after basically any of the endings, following canon closely or doing a canon divergent AU or even a full AU! I am open to more slice-of-life or leaning into the post-apocalyptic and/or horror stuff, or potentially other genres if doing an AU.

I am very open to smut with these two, though it isn't necessary! I am also into trans headcanons (she/her Paranoid my beloved; Cold with a gender of "who cares?" my beloved) or genderswap, but those aren't necessary either.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If any of these are up your alley, you can message me here on Tumblr, reblog this post with a comment or tag expressing interest, or message me on Discord (I'm mxkit there). Or if you just like this post I'll reach out and message you instead! (If you reblog this post but don't like it or comment on it/tag it expressing interest, I'll assume you're just signal-boosting.)

I'm open to RPing over Tumblr, Discord, Dreamwidth, or email; I've never RPed over Google Docs but I'd be open to learning how to do that as well! 🎃

FINALLY, I ONLY RP WITH PEOPLE 18+, especially for shippy things like this, even if it goes nowhere spicy at all!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME OKAY BYEEEE 💖

[leafatlaw]

as soon as I’ve recovered from the how to survive camping ending I am making a katecup masterpost because the amount of time she compares him and her to her parents, or the sheriff and his wife make me want to SCREAM

[a1exkra1ie]

htsc.. it calls to me
