#i know i don't have many mutuals with spooky month muses but i had a physical need to just ramble and share my thoughts abt these two

[stcries]

dropping some headcanons and lore for my spooky month muses because this hyperfixation has me in a chokehold rn.

( tw for cannibalism,  murder,  animal violence. )

bob’s background is much more developed,  thanks to some help via a friend on discord.   he grew up on a rural farm with his mother and father,  with the both of them selling their produce in order to create a steady income for their family.   bob’s mother focused primarily on vegetation,  such as fruits,  vegetables,  herbs and the like.   his father however focused heavily on the production of meats,  being the one responsible for selling their steaks,  chickens and other profitable meat items.   being surrounded by such a food centric environment during his early life,  bob’s young mind quickly became fixated on the idea of becoming a chef,  which became his dream from a young age.

as he grew up,  his father eventually taught him the ways to slaughter the animals on their farm,  wanting his son to take up the mantle.  although hesitant at first,  bob was soon joining his dad on the job.   however,  one day,  something seemed to snap within his mind.   just what could he slaughter with the skills he had learned ?   once bob became a young adult,  that’s when his mind finally broke.   one night,  he decided to test this theory,  sneaking into his parent’s room and striking them both in the head with the very same gun they used on their livestock,  killing them.   in his already deranged state,  another thought entered his mind;  if they could be slaughtered the same,  then could they also be eaten the same as well ?   his questions were soon answered,  and thus started his cannibalistic descent into madness.

the amulet within his chest placed there via the cult also has some doings for his cannibalistic nature.   he was recruited to the cult because of the horrific reputation he eventually made for himself,  the cult seeing bob as a valuable asset in their goals.   the amulet inside bob’s chest gives him incredible strength and endurance,  but also comes at a cost;  it only enhances his hunger further.   this ensures that he’s constantly on the prowl,  willing to perform the cult’s wishing in order to satisfy himself,  but even that doesn’t last long.

now onto kevin.   before kevin worked in the candy store,  he was actually a police officer,  inspired by this one piece of fanart i found.   he joined the force when he was very young,  fresh out of high school even.   kevin was inspired via his uncle,  who i headcanon to be jack,  and did his best to follow in his footsteps,  which he did eventually achieve.   however,  as true with the chaotic nature of the spooky month series,  it was then that kevin truly discovered how corrupt the crime within their small town could be, coming face to face with many horrors that eventually became too much for him,  leading to his eventual resignation from the police force.   he originally started working at the candy store for a chance at a normal life,  away from all the chaos that he had endured,  however,  it seems even despite the career change,  kevin cannot escape the demons that plague him in his everyday life.
