#rj clown takes

[ihopesocomic]

What is it with people and feeling the need to bring ‘realism’ in fictional stories? As long as it isn’t harmful- who cares? Like that other Anon said, evidence has been found of same-sex relationships among animals.

I Hope So has lions with purple eyes and pink eyes, there are blue lions. Some of the lions are barbary lions, right? If the comic takes place in modern day, that would be unrealistic since Barbary lions are believe to be extinct. It’s a comic full of an anthro lions who can talk. Either way, even, if an animal story was as realistic as possible- it’s harming no one if an LGBT+ character is added into it. Whether you like it or not, Anon, Cat and RJ are doing nothing wrong by wanting to have trans lions in THEIR story. Shocker, LGBT+ creators wants LGBT+ characters in their stories.

If the trans characters are written poorly and are stereotypes then it’s an issue but that’s not the case here. It’s just creators who are LGBT+, who like lions, and wanted to make a comic surrounding that.

Yeah we've definitely bent the rules of reality. I thought having a fuckin purple-eyed lion would've been a good indicator, but here we are.

The thing is, these people don't actually care about realism. They just want to use bioessentialism as if it's of any scientific relevancy. It's not lol they know it's not because as soon as they have to think about gender in nature outside of humans for more than a second, their hate-driven pseudo-scence falls apart and their brains explode. We're just another being on this planet, we can just apply words to things, isn't that nutty?

Anyway, if your "science" is built on trying to argue against the existence of something that we already know exists, it belongs in the trash. And perhaps they're also aware that people funding these articles and speeches have an agenda and nothing they ever do is genuine or based in reality. Or maybe they're a smooth-brained clown who believes everything they read if it "validates" their biases. Either way, I'm not entertaining it, and I'm going to do what all people do with clowns and laugh at them. - Cat

[house-of-slayterr]

The Firefly’s as Gods:

Mama: Eileithyia

- She is the goddess of childbirth and womanly pains. Her name means “she who comes to aid” much like Mama’s role in the family.

Spaulding: Momus

- Momus is the personification of satire and mockery. I think that suits Spaulding’s clowning around personality quite well.

Baby: Bia

- Bia is the godly personification of force and power. She fought beside her family and helped them win a battle against the Titans. Baby is a force to be recon with, and would do anything for her family.

Otis: Chronus

- Chronus is the leader of the first generation of titans. A fierce protector, and excellent leader. Much like Otis made his own family, and leads them to a life he sees as most fruitful. And he’s fiercely protective of what is his.

Tiny: Hyperion

- He is the Titan god of light and observation, and the tallest, most towering of all Titans. Like Hyperion, Tiny is considered a core pillar of the family.

RJ: Alastor

- He was the avenger of evil deeds and familial bloodshed. RJ doesn’t really speak much or get involved, unless it’s for the sake of his family.

Manon: Hestia

- Hestia was the eldest daughter and often assumed more of a maternal and leadership role. Hestia was the first to be devoured by her father and the last to be free. Similar to how Manon will put herself at risk to save a family member. Sadly, it’s family first, herself last with her. But she takes pride in that role, and accepts the responsibility.

Selena: Calliope

- The muse of epic poetry and lyrics. Selena was often left alone for hours and only had her voice to comfort her. Singing songs until the sun came up, and bracing herself for the next day.

Blinky: Hebe

- Hebe was the goddess of immortal youth or the prime of life. Blinky May age physically, but mentally they remain cheerful and joyous with a child like sense of wonder and adventure.

+ Macy: The Erinnyes

- They we’re cities of vengeance and retribution. They vowed to take vengeance on men who unleashed evil. Macy is a hot headed, loyal and possessive Cannibal. But she would never dare eat a woman, she preserve her taste for men who are worthy of her scorn.

@harllequinnade

Okay so, she had been benched from Misfit duties. And, ever since the RJ Incident, she hadn’t been too fond of going into Matchak. Charlie was, however, bored. So, she made the decision to hitch a lift into the town and take a wander. Easing through the streets made her feel a little more relaxed, away from prying eyes and the gaze of people who were concerned she’d snap at any given point. 

Although, maybe she was starting to lose it. 

It couldn’t be. And yet, Charlie was convinced she could see the absolute clown that was Harley Quinn just ambling about as if she owned the place. Maybe she should have called Helena and Babs. She definitely should have called Helena and Babs. 

Instead, she strode over, chin tilted up in defiance as she approached. 

“Hey! What are you doing here?”

[dadralt]

This is a toxic relationship with Kai Anderson

I will be adding warnings

A/n: this is my first fanfic type thing so ofc it’s not going to be the best! Please no hate :)

Warning (s): blood, knifes and abuse

Word count: 1k

It was 2:11 a.m I woke up to the sounds of screaming. It sounded like it was coming from the basement, Kai always told me I should never go down there I didn’t know why but I wouldn’t dare to go. I laid there in Kai’s bed crying for a while wondering where/what Kai was doing. This time I felt like this was my only chance to go, at least get a little peak. I quickly jumped out of bed and tried to not to make any noise. Soon as I made it out of the door I ran for the basement stairs. Before I could put one foot down I felt something grab me hard, my heart dropped. I was so nervous to turn around but when I did it was Kai’s sister Winter.

“What the fuck are you doing y/n”

she slowly let go of my arm

“I- I was going to see what that noise wa-“

Winter quickly interrupted me “y/n you know you’re not allowed to go down to there...Kai will hurt you, now go back to bed”

“I’m so sorry Winter please don’t tell Kai” I whispered.

She rolled her eyes and went to the basement herself while locking the door behind her. I ran back to Kai’s bed and cried praying Winter didn’t say a word to Kai

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

It was morning I woke to Kai stroking my cheek “wake up princess go brush your hair or whatever you have to do, Winter is making breakfast”

He planted a kiss on my forehead, smiling back before Kai walked out. Wondering why he was in such a good mood I just ignored. I brush my teeth, put my clothes on and walked to the kitchen.

Winter greeted me with a fake smile I knew something was wrong I could feel it. Kai looked over at my arm and noticed there was a bruise.

“What happened to you arm?”

“Um I’m not sure” I replied, I looked over at Winter noticing her face turning red.

“Don’t you fucking lie to me y/n”

“wha- what are you talking about Kai”

“don’t be fucking stupid, I’m going to ask again, where did you get the bruise” Kai shouted

I flinched but I knew I couldn’t lie...

Quickly Winter spoke up, ”me kai I pulled her arm a little too hard last night I’m sorry”

Winter quickly ran out the room, and I was so scared my stomach dropped. Feeling Kai’s dark eyes staring at me, I got so nervous avoiding to look up, he grabbed my face forcing me to look at him which led with a slapped to my face. I felt my face burning as I let out a soft whimper.

“Y/n I know what you did last night a little birdie told me all about it... so tell me again what your plan was.” I didn’t respond

“So you’re not talking?” Kai laughed right in my face “you’re pathetic you know that? How about you go to Winters room while I go think of a punishment. Shake you head if you understand”

He was still grabbing my face pretty hard. I couldn’t really move, Kai knew this so he let go of me and walked out the door.

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

(winters room about an hour after kai left)

“You can talk y/n it’s ok i promise I won’t tell Kai”

“You literally told Kai about what happened yesterday Winter I can’t really trust you anymore.”

“Y/n he fucking heard you he heard the door what the fuck do you want me to do?..lie to him? I can’t do that”

“Whatever winter” I replied giving a small attitude

“Give me you pinky I want to ask you something”

I hesitated a bit but we locked pinkies anyway.

“Are you scared of Kai?”

I laughed at her thinking that was the most obvious question. “yes”

“good, Now meet me at the at the basement stairs tonight I’ll sneak you in”

right when Winter said that the front door opened. She got back on her laptop as I just sat there. Kai pulled me by my hair forcing me up

he pulled me close and kissed me.

“Did you behave for me today doll? If you did I’ll give you something special”

I smiled “yes sir”

he laughed “good. Now winter, was she good?”

“Get out”

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

Now that Kai and I are alone in his room he pulled me on top of him.

“Show me how much of a dirty little slut you are”

I got off of him and said no, his jaw clenched as he left out a soft laugh.

He slowly unbuttoned his shirt, never taking his eyes off me. “Please y/n just a kiss”

“Kai i said no”

“Fine what else do you want”

“You to love me” tearing up I instantly regret what I said.

“Y/n what do you mean? Do I not love you enough?” He mocked

“Forget it” I cried

“Go to sleep it’s 11 o’clock, I’ll tuck you in”

Kai gives a kiss on the forehead after he tucks you in his bed whispering “now listen to me. Do not leave this bed no matter what you hear...now good night my lovely”

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

It was 2:57 am when I woke up to more screaming I remember what winter said, Kai was gone again I knew he was there, I just knew he was doing something horrible but I had to see for myself. It stopped...I tiptoed to Winters room.

“Winter..Winter..Winter” she wouldn’t move so I shook her.

“Oh my god I’m sorry y/n I forgot about that thing come on”

“wait Winter have you been waking up to screaming lately?”

“Stop being dramatic y/n I bet it’s just Kai watching tv downstairs”

“you never know Winter it just makes me worried”

Winter opens the door and pushes me in, I see a group of people all standing in a circle looking at me in clown outfits. I backup slowly to the steps noticing winter isn’t there anymore she set me up..

I’m so fucking stupid why did I believe her

I cried yelling out for Kai as loud as I could. I tried beating on the door trying to get out but something was blocking it, I should’ve listened to Kai about the basement. One clown started coming to me I wanted to pass out but I screamed..nobody came. A clown was reaching for their mask as if they were talking it off.

It was Kai how could he do such a thing to me.

“WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME KAI”

“WINTER PLEASE”

“she can’t help you she’s the one who set you up. God y/n you’re so stupid” Kai said.

“N-no please don’t hurt me” I backed up in the corner putting my knees to my chest.

“We’re not here to hurt you.. we’re here to hurt him” A female voice spoke up, she was wearing an elephant outfit

“hi-him?” I stuttered

“the man in the chair, his name is RJ he didn’t listen so now we’re killing him” Kai laughed

“this is a cult doll, this is my big secret.”

“Kai can I just go to the room please I promise I won’t bother you anymore” my voice shaking

“no. you’re going to kill him with this”

my heart dropped, I screamed, I got up from the corner I was backed up in and walked to Kai slapping him in the face.

“You shouldn’t of done that you bitch” Kai punched me. I fell to the ground crying while everyone just stood and watched, my nose was bleeding

I begged for forgiveness

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

***TW: knives, cutting and blood*** “get the fuck up and take this or it’s you instead of him”

Kai waved the nail gun in my face I tried to get up but I just couldn’t, the blonde girl that was in the elephant outfit ran to help me but Kai yelled at her telling to get out, he grabbed me by the arm pulling me up pushing me onto the man.

“DO IT” Kai shouted

I pressed the nail gun the man in the chair. Crying so hard I could barely breathe anymore

“Y/N IM NOT GOING TO TELL YOU AGAIN”

“I’m so sorry” I whispered

the nail shot through his head. The guy in the chair RJ and I both screamed at the same time. I fell to the ground dropping the gun with me I felt Kai touch my back, he squatted down next to me

“see baby that wasn’t bad was it”

“fuck you Kai” I yelled out,

he laughed “well then now it’s your punishment you brat” Kai made everyone leave.

It was just us

Now scared I felt like throwing up we were alone..me, Kai, and RJ’s lifeless body. I didn’t know what Kai was going to do with me

“baby I’m so sorry don’t hurt me...please” I cuffed Kai’s cheek

“i want you to suffer” Kai said with a big smile he pulled out his knife

“K-Kai baby..what are you doing”

“pull up your shirt” he said forcefully trailing his knife down my body from my throat.

Gasping as he started carving letters on my stomach I kicked and screamed wanting him to stop

“shh shh it’ll be over soon I promise”

I threw my head back jerking and moaning in pain. Kai placed one hand over my mouth making sarcastic jokes asking if it hurts when he knows it obviously does.

“This is what you get for being a bad girl, I told you to not come down”

I started to hyperventilate, I stopped making noise because I knew it wasn’t going to help any.

Feeling Kai’s fingers trace over the cuts he made. Blood was everywhere he removed his hand from my mouth I didn’t dare to make a sound.

He laughed and put his bloody fingers in my mouth

“do you wanna see”

I shook my head no violently, Kai didn’t like that so he kicked me and dragged me out the basement. I felt paralyzed wondering where he was taking me

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

We got up the stairs, he was dragging me into the bathroom.

“W-what are we-“ I couldn’t finish my sentence it felt like I was dying.

Kai ripped all my clothes off “I’m cleaning you up baby” he said as he while stroking my hair.

He stood me up and told me to look in the mirror “you’re so pretty y/n look at your tummy”

I couldn’t move my head at all I didn’t even want to look but I did. The statement ‘did you learn’ was written across my body

“WINTER” I yelled as loud as I could Kai shut me up real quick by putting a knife to my throat.

“Get in the bath I need to clean you”

“w-will you hurt me?”

He didn’t say anything. Just stared waiting for me to get in I slowly limped grinding my teeth together from the pain of the hot water. I looked over at Kai and he was crying...he fell to his knees putting his face in my arms

“I’m so sorry- I’m so fucking sorry” he sounded like he actually meant it, he was upset but I didn’t care. I watched him cry as I was on the verge of passing out.

“Y-y/n hey wake up” Kai violently shook my head.

I don’t know what’s happening to me I keep going in and out of reality kai grabbed the washcloth gently going over my body acting like he just didn’t do this horrible thing.

“Stop Kai please”

“s-stop what I- I love you”

“n-no you don’t” i uttered in a very low weak voice

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

I woke up with Kai by my side in his bed I couldn’t remember a lot from the night before other than what happened in the basement. I was wearing his clothes but I don’t know how I got into them but it didn’t really matter. I tried waking Kai up by rubbing his forehead, his eyes began to slowing open. He pulls my head towards him and kisses my nose. The first thing he asked was if my stomach was ok I pulled up my shirt noticing someone wrapped me up.

“No Kai”

“look y/n I’m sorry I really am but..you know now”

“what are you talking about? Know about wh-“

“the cult y/n I’m sorry but I don’t trust you”

“Trust me with what Kai?”

“The secret...I have to kill you”

“are you serious” i gave a fake laugh but kai didn’t.

“K-Kai” this was wrong he’s never joked like this. “stop with the joke it’s not fucking funny”

Kai gets closer to me as I get off his bed trying to reach the door. When I try to run he pulled me and threw me on the bed.

“KAI STOP GET OFF OF ME”

Trying my best to fight back he got on top of me with his hands wrapped around my throat. All I could think about was why is he doing this. Kai mumbles words as I struggle for air.

“I love you, I’m sorry, forgive me” Kai kept repeating those words.

I was losing my hearing, breath, and vision. Everything was distorted but I could still see figures

Winter.. Winter walked in

my weak arm tried to grab her in hopes she would stop him.

She didn’t

She just looked

I took my final breath as I watched him kill me with Winter by his side.

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.

A/n: Hi guys I’m glad you make it this far I hope you enjoyed it just know this is my first so sorry if my grammar and sentences were off!

please no hate :)

One Of The Clan - Otis Driftwood x Male Reader

 Synopsis: Otis comes out to the Firefly Family and tells them you're his boyfriend.

(Because who cares that they're a gross murder family, they're also really sweet with each other and super supportive so this is totally a thing, thanks)

Wanted to write more Otis x Male Reader for all you guys out there so here you go!! A cute emotional support fluff piece!!!!! (Also be warned there's like one mild slur but no homophobia or anything cause this fic is happiness only zone)

"How are you feeling?" you ask Otis, squeezing his hand. He looks over to you, sulking. 

"Like a million fuckin' bucks, thanks for asking." 

You shove him playfully, which turns into a dunking match. You finally see a smile clear up Otis' face, but it quickly disappears when he remembers what he's about to do. 

Otis met you about a year ago, at a bar somewhere outside town. He had quickly discovered that you were different from other people in the area, just like him, and instead of taking you back to the house to Chik-Fil-A you, he ended up kinda... sorta... liking you. 

You two had talked for hours, and he had felt more and more attracted to not only your appearance, but your personality. Otis was very selective about who he gave his time to, and you just turned out to be his favorite person to be around. Otis had brought you around the house a few times, and after a good few months of walking in on some form of anarchy, you had been accepted as a good friend of the family's. 

Of course there was one thing that presented itself as an obstacle (at least for Otis). He was adamant that guys just didn't do things like this around here, that if anybody saw you two together, god forbid in public, you'd be strung up on Dr. Satan's hanging tree. You had insisted you cared for him enough to brave all that, and he cared for you too, so you had kept your relationship under wraps. 

Until now. 

Otis had said something the other day to you on one of your long drives together in your pickup. (It was a favorite date activity of the two of you, other than coming along for a night of murder and mayhem, to drive for hours out into the Texan desert listening to old 70s music, philosophizing, and talking about life.) 

"What if my family doesn't want me around anymore if I tell em?"

You had turned off the engine, and sat there in the middle of the dusty plain, Gerry Rafferty's Right Down The Line playing on your beat up old car radio. 

"Tell them what?"

Otis had sat there for a long time. "Y'know, about... this whole thing." You had waited expectantly for him to elaborate, since your talk about using words. Otis had huffed, rolling his eyes. "Us, okay! The two of us." 

"I'm fairly certain that your family, who regularly chases people around in bunny onesies and holds ceremonial funerals for fun, wouldn't much care who you date or fuck."

Otis throws his head back against the seat. "Yeah but shit, this is different! They let me in, gave me a name I'm proud of, gave me a home. My own biological father used to beat me, call me less than shit, and all for..." He gestured to you and him. "For bein' me, I guess."

"It's fucked up," you say softly, taking his hand. 

"Yeah, you got that fuckin' right handsome." He had wiped his eyes. "And them back home... hell. It'd be close to testing their kindness to tell them I'm a queer at this point."

A silence enveloped you both as you switched the radio off.

"Why don't you try?" 

"They don't gotta know," Otis snapped, then looked at you, apology clearly written in his eyes. You had just nodded, used to his hurried responses. 

"What I mean is... if you're ready... you might feel better finding out if they really are there for you." 

He had looked at you, and you took off your shirt, handing it to him to dry his eyes. He used it, and tossed it back to you in a ball. You had laughed, and he had climbed on top of you in the driver's seat, sticking his knife in the seat recliner to make it flop down. 

"Mmf," you had complained, his lips smothering yours, "Thanks for breaking my seat." 

"Ain't nothing but nothing."

"Bu--"

"RJ can fix it," he had replied, before reaching down to your jeans. 

Now, four days after that night, he decided he was ready.

Mostly. 

Somewhat.

"You know, you don't have to do it today if you're not ready," you reassure him, but he takes your hand, grasping it tightly. 

"Damn it all to hell if I haven't spent all morning working myself up to this. I'm not lettin' that go to waste." 

With his usual headstrong determination, he walks through the front door of the house, past Baby's burnt doll collection. He walks on into the living room, where Mama's on the couch watching some show with Baby, Spaulding is in the kitchen, and Tiny is carving a pumpkin at the table.

"Otis, I love you honey, but get the hell outta the way," Mama says sweetly, "Svengoolie's on." 

"Fuck Svengoolie," Otis responds, and Tiny looks up from his work at the table, unsettled. Otis holds up a reassuring hand to him, and Baby finally looks away from the TV.

"Brought your friend?" She lets out a giggle, and waves to you. You haven't told Otis, but you're convinced Baby knows about you two already. 

"I've... got an announcement to make." Otis shifts around from foot to foot, still holding your hand. Seeing that Otis is serious, (and that he's holding your hand) Mama turns off the TV. 

"Who turned off the god damn television? I was watching that," Spaulding comes walking out of the kitchen, scratching his back with a wooden cooking spoon. "Oh. Hiya, you two." He scratches his head with the spoon, raising his painted clown eyebrows when he notices Otis has now got your hand in a deathgrip. "Somethin' we oughtta know, or can we keep watching the show?"

"Daddy, Otis is in love," Baby coos. 

"Hush now, angel, let Otis have his moment," Mama hushes, "Go on now, hun, tell us." Otis gives Baby the finger angrily. Baby sticks her tongue out at him in turn, and you shake your head. 

"(y/n) and I... are..." He clears his throat about five times, and RJ comes in the door, making a racket.

"RJ, shut the door, Otis wants to tell us something real interesting!" Baby says. RJ frowns, looking over, and Otis rolls his eyes, trying to get back on track.

"We're..." Everyone in the room is hanging on the edge of their seat in anticipation. Even Tiny is sitting forward expectantly. "We're...."

"You're what? Spit it out boy, haven't got all day to listen to you goin' 'we're... we're...' like some kinda yokel fuckin idiot," Spaulding calls.

"Yeah!" Baby yells. Tiny nods. 

"We're together, you impatient assholes!!" Otis blurts, holding you close to him, "This guy here. And me. We're together."

"Well, we can see you're--" Mama starts, then she has an epiphany. "OH! Oh my goodness..."

Everyone is quiet for a moment. Spaulding takes a deep breath, and drops the spoon. "I, uh..." he murmurs, "I'll be in the shop." Everyone waits, listening to him peel out of the yard in his car, and Mama waves a hand his way. Then she starts clapping.

"Oh, honey!!"

"I knew you swung different ways, big bro," Baby grins, jumping up and prancing around him, "But it's real swell that ya opened up that big mouth of yours and told us!" Tiny comes over and nearly crushes you and Otis together in a hug. Otis coughs a few times, and swats at him. RJ walks over, smiles a little (the most you'd ever seen him do so) and slaps you both on the back so hard it sends you stumbling. Then he leaves out back, off to do whatever the fuck he does. 

"You guys... don't mind?" Otis asks, and you smile his way. 

"Mind?! What the hell've we gotta mind about, you two are in loooove!" Mama shrieks. She gives you a huge hug and pinches your cheek. "Love is a beautiful thing that must be celebrated, no matter who it is between."

"Hey you must be real talented off your feet to net this one, if you know what I mean sugar," Baby says to you, and you blush as Otis glares. 

"Cut it out." 

"You cut it out!" 

"Fuck you!" 

"Fuck you!" 

You clear your throat, and Otis takes his place beside you again. 

"And... what about Cutter?" Your boyfriend's voice wavers a little, and he probably hates himself for it. Spaulding is like a dad to him, even if the two are rarely on speaking terms. 

"Don't know why daddy left," Baby shrugs. "Seems fucking weird."

"Don't pay no nevermind to that old clown," Mama huffs, "Actually-- you know what? I say we eat the dinner he cooked, then go out and pay him a visit, see just where his head's at. That ain't like him to just up'n leave like that."

"No, I--"

"Come on y'all, we's having a banquet then we’s goin' to the gas station!"

So, after a very nice dinner, everyone piles into the family car. You have to sit on Otis' lap to fit, which is okay with you and okay with him. Once you get to the gas station, Mama stomps out, ready to tear Spaulding a new one... but instead, she gasps.

"Oh, it's so bea-utiful!"

"Jesus Christ, woman, I wasn't even done," Spaulding comes out, complaining. Your face lights up as Otis' jaw hangs open. Tiny grins, and Baby squeals as you all gather around the shop that now has rainbow flags adorning everything. 

"Oh my god," you whisper, chuckling, and Otis turns around, face red. He walks right back to the car and goes to get in, but everyone drags him back out. 

"What do ya think?" the clown beams, "I'd say I outdid myself." He pulls the string on his skull bowtie, and goes "yaiyaiyaiyai." 

"It's amazing," you tell him, "Thanks, Cap." He puts a hand on your shoulder.

"This is an event, son! This is a cause for goddamn celebration, ain't no way I'm gonna miss it." He turns to Otis. "Now I called Charlie, he's gonna bring the girls and the good shit then we're all gonna have a big party tonight." 

"Aw shitfire," Otis mutters. Spaulding's eyes widen. 

"I dare you to complain! You got no idea how hard it was to reach the ass-backwards fucker, let alone find all this multi-coloured bullcrap in rural Texas to build a shrine for your homo ass!" 

"You didn't fuckin' have to, Cutter, I didn't specifically request you throw me a big fuckin' gay bash!"

"You-- shut the fuck up. Charlie's comin'."  

"I hate Charlie, that fuckin' nutsack." 

"Well he hates you too, but that's just cause you're an asshole."

"Not wrong," Baby hisses, dodging Otis' swipe. You nudge him. 

"Your family's happy for you. This is better than what you were imagining would happen," you whisper to him, and he sighs, giving you one of those deep looks you know so well that conveys everything he's feeling to you without words. He hates attention, but deep down you know he loves feeling appreciated-- you know that from your own relationship experience with him. 

A cop car suddenly comes driving by, and the window rolls down. You always get worried when that happens, but the others are used to it. Otis takes a few steps in front of you, protectively, and holds your hand. 

"Hi there, folks," Wydell says, tipping his hat, "Just asking people in the area if they've seen a missing g--" 

"Sheriff Wydell, you miserable motherfucker, GUESS WHAT?! " Spaulding yells, "My son got himself a BOYFRIEND! The anti social one?! Roped in this one right here, ain't he a looker?!" Mama nods excitedly, waving one of the little rainbow flags and pointing at you. The Sheriff awkwardly frowns, and nods slowly, noticing all the rainbow paraphernalia around the station. 

"That's... real nice. Y-You folks... have a nice day, then..." 

"Holy shit," Otis whines, wishing he could crawl underground to the family catacombs, and you kiss him on the cheek happily. 

"Here," Spaulding starts passing greasy paper bags around to everyone. "Tasty fried chicken for everyone to get this shindig going!" 

"Alright, fuck yeah," Baby giggles, and goes to dig inside for some booze as well. 

"Your chicken is fucking disgusting," Otis mutters, handing his extra bag to Tiny, though he can't help but smile a little. Spaulding gets right in his face with a pointed finger. 

"Boy, I'mma let you get away with your ass today, cause you're finally OUT OF THE CLOSET!" 

"Announce it to the whole state of Texas, why don't you old man?" Otis retorts, hiding deeper in his plaid sweater. You have to laugh. Tiny joins in, grabbing a rainbow party blower and deafening everyone. He then picks you up and puts you on his shoulders, and starts dancing, poking Otis to join in. 

"Oh, I... okay, stoppit, all of you, I just... alright, enough! Tiny, stop!"

"Ohh, but this is so exciting, baby!" Mama grins, trailing her flowy dress around. 

"Hell yeah!" Baby calls from inside, coming out with armfuls of beer, "My brother's got himself a pretty boy, let's get fucked up and do fucked up shit!"

Tiny plops a rainbow party hat on top of Otis' head, and your boyfriend sighs. 

"You know at this point, I would've preferred you kicked me out of the family or something."

"We'd never do that to ya, big bro," Baby smiles, leaning on his shoulder, "You're one of us." She turns to you. "And now it looks like you are too, (y/n)." 

Otis looks at you in irritation. "Lucky for you, babe." 

"I actually think I am pretty lucky," you smile, and embrace a big Firefly Family hug.

Yo what’s up my broski, just poppin in to ask a quick question. Who are your top three favorite egos and what is your favorite headcanon for each of them?

oooooh man, thanks so much for the asky boi :D

Robbie (that one’s a given lmao)

the day he appeard in the Septic household, he just popped into existence in the middle of the living room. chaos ensued

jackie was screaming and climbing up the curtains, schneep started yelling at marv accusing him of necromancy while the poor kitty man just stood completely stunned into silence

jameson dropped his cup of tea as anti glitched in the room shouting like why are you clowns screaming about i was taking a nap shut the fuck up!

so poor robbie, who’d only existed for a few seconds only to find himself in the middle of a screaming match, got really confused and scared

he backed away into a corner and started crying

enters the Rad Dad tm

i heard a child in distress, that shit can’t stand let me see the child-

so he wasn’t impressed with the chaos unfolding and the sobbing purple bean in the corner. he’s been very protective of the boi ever since

doesn’t talk much; and when he does it’s short and slow

has bad body coordination, so manual tasks that demand precision are hard for him

doesn’t need to eat. noone knows how his body works and it drives schneep mad

has low energy levels, so he takes lots of naps. the other egos often find him curled up in random corners of the house, like a cat. chase has a whole album full of photos

not as naive as people tend to think, but he’s still pretty innocent

the only one who’s impressed by marv’s more “classic” magic tricks, so the cat boi loves to perform for him

used to be scared of anti, but he’s surprisingly good at reading people so thats fear quickly faded away. he’s the only person that can successfully calm the glitch down or cheer him up.

marv suspects he might have some mild empath powers going on because of that

senses are pretty dull and he doesn’t feel pain, so the others have to make sure he doesn’t get hurt since he won’t always notice it himself

gets along great with JJ, even if he isn’t good with sign language

horror movies scare him and he’ll get upset if he sees zombies in a film

since animals don’t register him as a living being nor a threat, they flock to him. if the egos leave him alone outside for like ten minutes, they’ll find him covered in butterflies, foxes playing and napping at his feet

the first time this happened jackie cried and said rob was like a real-life disney princess

Eric Derekson

oh boi, this poor child is a mess and a half

when he popped into the Iplier manor he could barely stitch a sentence together, he just kept apologizing over and over in a panic as the others just stared, still in their pajamas for the most part

the only one that knew what was up was dark, so he went and calmed the poor man down, told him that his father wasn’t there and would never hurt or talk him down again (since he isnt loved enough in the fandom to exist)

lets just say that wilford went sicko mode hearing that. that man won’t let shit like abuse fly under his watch, nu-uh no siree

so he basically took the babu under his wing and always made sure he felt included and valuable

prosthetic leg. used to be quite bare, but bing upgraded it so it could fuck up the knees of anyone who would harm his baby brother-

he’s almost as tall as host, which makes him the second tallest (6′2)

has the largest collection of dads out of all the egos. like srly between dark, wilford, chase and

likes to help out king with his squirrels, since he turns out to be very precise and delicate with his hands whenever he stops trembling or fidgeting

he has. the biggest crush on host. like full-blown blushing fanboy mode

only had a pet rock since his dad hated animals. when dark found him one day talking to a piece of mineral and realized why, he went ham

“will, i don’t care what you’re doing right now just get in the car” “what is it dear-” “shut up and get in the car we’re going to the animal shelter”

so now eric has a big emotional support doggo and two cats, one with a back leg missing

The Jims

there’s a total of 4 of them (AJ, WJ, CJ and RJ), but only RJ and CJ live in the manor, AJ and WJ are always busy working at the Jim News studio, so i’m only gonna write about the first two

the weird crabwalk RJ did in WKM? it’s a constant thing he does. that boi cannot walk like a normal human being. CJ does tho

CJ is mute, and the most down to earth of all the jims. he follows his twin in his shenanigans out of love, but he’s very aware of how crazy or nonsensical things are. he doesn’t mind though

they’re into occult stuff and can successfully summon demons. dark (grey jim) got tired of getting teleported out of his office after a week so he took away their basement privileges

the blair witch? oh, they found her alright. they never ran faster in their entire lives that night

R&J Clown Takes Round ♾️ + Part 13

I’m back!!!! It’s been awhile, but I wanted some fresh takes for once instead of another round of stale clownery. Featuring R&J Glorifying Suicide(tm) and It’s A Tragedy, Actually, Not A Love Story, but funnier. On nom nom away

Clown OP is definitely one of those who would think Brutus was honorable for committing suicide at the end of Julius Caesar but clutches their pearls when two teens do it for love.

So, no, R&J is not even about suicide, much less glorifying it. Nowhere in the play does R&J glorify suicide or death—on the contrary, Juliet freaks out when thinking about being buried alive in the tomb and Romeo speaks with horror of the tomb in pretty much the same language. Hell, it isn’t really even about death. Suicide is a means to an end—being with each other. If things were different, they would never even think of the possibility.

Tell me you’re American without telling me you’re American—

Juliet fell in love with Romeo when Paris was a vague twinkle in their parents’ eye. They only decided to have her married off after she and Romeo fell in love and consummated their union.

That would have instantly dissolved at the slightest hardship. Polycules are notoriously fragile. Also Rosaline is literally sworn to chastity, so thanks for the erasure. Also, also, Juliet canonically can’t stand Paris.

Sampson and Gregory joking about killing and raping Montague women is such a knee-slapper, I agree! Seriously, the only laughter I can see emanating from the Theater at the time would be derisive (maybe the creeps and dude bros would be validated, idk). They are so clearly drawn to be stupid boors you’re not supposed to like, it’s more of a satire than anything else.

Rebranded As A Love Story!!!!!

“Rebranded as a love story” “Playing hockey” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I CAN’T

So anyway, for the 500th time, Shakespeare totally shipping Romeo and Juliet together is as canonical as you can get.

As for hockey buddies…well, you’ve got a point there. Because hockey buddies would totally fake their deaths and commit suicide for each other. Hockey is that emotional a sport.

Fiction /= real life is an equation too complicated for Clown OP. This has to be trolling.

[ihopesocomic]

Hi it's the anon that asked about the pride sizes!

I'm really sorry about the assumption, it never occured to me that Edge already got/collected(?) That much lions, with how they were operating when I read the comic, I thought they were struggling with pride numbers, and that the prides he took are actually now a part of his kingdom (and I completely missed the "Edge's kindom" part :')), and that all the talk about the prize and stuff was just big talk and was just doing some kind of manipulating tactic to get lions to do what he demans. But after seeing people talk about my ask, I thought about it and looked back at his dialogues, he didn't really seem that desperate and has a big ego, not something you'd normally from a struggling pride (looks at Jasper)

So I'm really sorry about that, I'm dumb and didn't understand the hints and misunderstood them all

lolol chill, it's OK. I was just clowning around with the part of my answer. I don't think anybody else was really bothered either. We've just had a couple of asks in the past where people have been like 'how did Edge take over all those prides with such a small pride?' or 'do the prides of Edge's kingdom know that his pride is so small?" and it's like... where have we said there's only six in his pride? So, that's what that previous anon was also referencing me thinks. But honestly, no offence taken. We enjoy these '... where did we say that? c:' moments. pfft - RJ

Heart’s Choice Author Interview: David Monster & Jim Dattilo, “All World Pro Wrestling”

You’re a trainee in the male Erotic Professional Wrestling Federation... and you’re reader to take on all comers. Training includes sparring, matches in the ring against the other trainees, tag team competitions, a battle royal, antics in the showers and locker room, and even ringside seats at the Championship Match.

All World Pro Wrestling is a 310,000-word interactive erotic gay novel by David Monster and Jim Dattilo, one of the first set of games releasing with the launch of Heart’s Choice. I sat down with the authors to talk about writing interactive romance. Heart’s Choice games release December 2nd.

All World Pro Wrestling is part of the first launch of Heart's Choice games and it's the first gender and sexuality locked game we're releasing for gay men. Jim you've written non-genderlocked games as well. Can you talk a little about the difference?

JIM: Writing a gender and sexuality locked game certainly has some advantages. The most obvious first advantage is that we don’t have to code gender pronouns, which saves time in coding and editing.

The next major advantage is in creating the characters. As a writer of choice games you want to give players lots of options. As a writer of fiction you want to give the reader highly specific characters. So in a game like Zombie Exodus, I need to have a huge variety of characters which are all open to various sexualities. Hopefully every player can find someone they are interested in or identify with. It is a phenomenal amount of work. However in All World Pro Wrestling, we can focus on a smaller set of characters, making them highly detailed.

Wrestling is also having a little cultural moment right now, it seems. What informed your decision to write wrestling fetish interactive fiction?

DAVID: There’s currently a great climate in independent pro wrestling. They seem to be embracing diversity, especially LGBT, in a way that major federations are not. The independents are a lot more entertaining because they have a great sense of humor, especially guys like Joey Ryan, RJ Skinner, Brian Cage, The Golden Lovers, and Jervis Cottonbelly. It’s a lot more appealing to me, because through the humor, they are acknowledging the homoerotic aspect of the sport in a way that’s exciting, amusing, and not derogatory.

After I published my first book, Service, people contacted me to tell me they loved it but wanted more sex and erotica. So, I wrote a gay erotic pro wrestling novel. It’s such a natural, because beyond being a sport, pro wrestling is really a fetish, and along with the homoeroticism, there’s a brotherhood that naturally lends itself to man-on-man romance.

JIM: I have a lot of gay male fans through my other writing and they provide some of the best feedback on romance. There are so few choice games or forms of interactive fiction focused on LGBT characters that players are more willing to voice their support and criticism. As game designers we need both forms of feedback.

When David and I decided to collaborate, we thought to convert his gay male erotica novel into a choice driven story. His novel already had a rich setting, plot, and set of characters. This is why we wanted to pitch it.

Are you fans of regular wrestling?

DAVID: Yes, I watch all different kinds of wrestling, mainly on YouTube. I like vintage pro wrestling, like AWA and GWF from the 50s to the 80s. When it comes to current wrestling, I’m a big fan of the independents. They’ve evolved as much more entertaining than WWE, currently the largest federation. I can’t watch WWE anymore. I’ll tune in every ten years or so, and it’s always the same storylines, same choreography. The guys are great-looking, but I need more than that.

I’m also a fan of Collegiate Wrestling. I wish I would have trained in amateur wrestling and grappling. All the great MMA fighters say it’s a necessary foundation for their sport.

JIM: As a kid I was a big fan of wrestling, back in the early days of Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage. I stopped watching at the time the WWF became the WWE, because as David said, the storylines became recycled. I don’t fault anyone for enjoying it now. Sometimes I’ll see a commercial for a large event and it will pique my interest.

This game is full of different romanceable characters. Tell me about some of them and which ones you enjoyed writing most.

DAVID: To tell you the truth, I love them all. They all have different attributes that make them special. Rory is an extremely cute blond boy. He’s sweet and kind, but he has the heart of a fighter. He always wants to win but wants all his friends to win, too. Bravon’s a real man, the best athlete in the facility, and a good friend to have. He’s a handsome muscle stud with the most extreme abs. Mandrew’s a cute jock boy and the class clown. He’s funny and always a good time, although he’s straight (or at least he says he is). Marcos is a big, hairy bear, and a total pushover. If you’re a power top, he’s your guy. He’s truly up for almost anything.

Finally there’s Stan. He’s a short little mountain of muscles, and, by far, the toughest guy in the training facility. He’s built is solidly as a wall of concrete which also represents the walls he built around himself to hide his vulnerabilities. He’s a loyal warrior, who is devoted to training but always searching for love.

Beyond these characters, you can have flings with lots of other characters.

Could you talk a little about your collaborative writing process?

DAVID: It was a learning process for me. I’ve never written a multiple choice game before, and Jim had already done three. He was my teacher and mentor, and taught me things about making a game you can’t learn from a tutorial. Jim’s guidance made me a much better writer.

JIM: David was the primary writer while I was the developer and coder. After writing a very extensive outline based on his book, we went through several rounds of drafts and edits until we came up with the shell of the game. David would write a chapter in a form of pseudocode, and I would take that document and convert it to ChoiceScript. Along the way we would talk about adding new content and deleting certain parts that weren’t working. David was always willing to do rewrites or punch up some text if needed. Since this was really his subject matter, I had to lean on him for the majority of the content. And he never made me feel like I was working for him. We were always collaborative and equal.

And what's next for you guys?

DAVID: I released the book this game is based on, called Rowdy Armstrong 2 – Pro Wrestling Rookie. It’s available on Amazon, and you can check out the website for pics of all the characters in the book: RowdyArmstrong.com    

I hope Jim and I can work on the sequel to this game, very soon. He’s so busy with Zombie Exodus. His fans are constantly demanding more of that story, because he has created a really cool world there.

I have another game, with accompanying book, I hope Choice of Games or Heart’s Choice will host. It’s a non-genderlocked fantasy story that will not involve wrestling.

I have a podcast, called Unimaginary Friendcast, and will continue to talk about this game on it. We have interviewed Jim twice, so search for that. It’s worth a listen, for sure.

Here’s my webpage, if you want to know more: DavidMonster.com

JIM: I’m continuing to work on Zombie Exodus: Safe Haven, Part 3 primarily. I’m also currently working on a new title for Choice of Games. It’s a secret project, and I hope to share some details on this game early next year.

A Vigilante Pasta Hallowe’en (Special Short)

//Note: The Puppeteer councils someone as part of this story; please be forewarned that that means there is slight mention of an attempt (but no self harm, and nobody actually gets hurt) - just so y’all know.//

                It had been a full year since the Candy Circus was this busy. People of all ages – humans, all of them - wandered around to the games and tents, collecting prizes and sweets where they could. The rides had lines, the cotton candy and popcorn machines were finally getting some use, and creepy but upbeat music played all around. The children were all dressed in creative costumes; some were cute, some were scary, but all had big smiles on their faces as they enjoyed the circus that seemed to have come out of nowhere. Many were eagerly awaiting entrance into the Big Top, where the real show would be in only ten minutes or so.

           Little did everyone know that the circus had indeed sprung up out of nowhere; the Candy Duo, Pop and Cane, had brought their circus from their dimension into the human world. They could only do this once a year, when the boundaries between worlds was weak. Samhain, otherwise known as All Hallows Eve or Hallowe’en, was the jesters’ favorite day of the year for this reason. Right now the two of them strolled around with exotic animals by their sides (Pop with his tiger, Stripes, and Cane with her lions, RJ and Kinney). Children and adults alike stopped to marvel at the docile and well-trained creatures and to speak with the cheery pair leading them.

           The jesters weren’t the only ones there, either. Jason the Toymaker meandered from booth to booth, watching as children won the games and took home toys he made as their prizes. This had both short-term and long-term benefits; for now, it made the children happy to have new toys – later on, Jason would be able to look at who had taken each one and be sure that those children were safe where they were. Laughing Jack wandered the grounds as well, laughing, telling jokes, and handing out his homemade candies. Everyone he passed enjoyed the brief company of the scary yet merry clown. The Puppeteer was there as well, and surprisingly Helen and Dina were, too, dressed in their usual killing attire which passed as ‘costumes’ for tonight only.

           Most of the so-called ‘creepypastas’ were at the festivities, making sure that everyone was enjoying their time there and that the place was safe. BEN kept an eye on all of the machinery having to do with the rides to guarantee nothing would go awry there; Eyeless Jack and Nurse Ann both patrolled the circus on the lookout for anyone who may need basic medical attention (so far, nothing but a scraped knee had come up); and Lacy, Lazari, and Sally took the opportunity to play with other kids and feel normal again. The weak boundaries between the living and the dead had allowed Sally to stray from her usual place for the night, and she planned to make the most of it with her friends. Even Kagekao was running around the place causing minor mayhem to make things more fun.

           Clockwork, Jane, and Slenderman’s proxies were all helping out by running various booths and stands. The Slenderman himself hadn’t shown up here, but he allowed his workers the night off so that they could. Splendorman had shown up with his little entourage so that they could all have fun, but his other brother hadn’t come because ‘the design of that circus is so tacky’. Jeff the Killer and Homicidal Liu were both missing from the scene; Hallowe’en or not, they had a job to do and they weren’t going to take the day off for a little fun. Hobo Heart was also missing, as he wasn’t a fan of these get-togethers anyway.

           So, with the exception of a few, everyone was there to celebrate. They were recognized by those who enjoy Internet horror stories, but a simple ‘it’s just cosplay’ or ‘I’m glad you like the costume – I worked on it all month!’ dissolved any suspicions those people may have had. People were taking photographs and generally enjoying themselves as the night progressed, until the tent flaps to the Big Top opened and people filed in to get a good seat for the upcoming show.

           A few had stayed out wandering the circus instead of going to see the special Hallowe’en performance. A particular person of interest was the teenage girl, dressed in a typical cat costume, who walked dejectedly toward the Ferris Wheel. She had come here alone, which was odd, and a certain someone could sense the misery radiating off of her. He kept an eye on her as she headed for the tall ride.

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

           Inside the Big Top, the show was going swell. People laughed and clapped at the series of jokes told by Laughing Jack, though most were really paying attention to Candy Pop and Stripes in the background. They would freeze and act innocent the second Jack turned around to look at them, and the greatest joke for the crowd was Jack’s seemingly complete obliviousness to what kept going on behind him. A spotlight went on up above, and Candy Cane swung by on a trapeze. Her brother jumped up high – higher than a person should be able to – as she passed and she grabbed his wrists to haul him into the air with her. She swung him forward and let go, and he gripped on to the nearby pole that stood nearly as high as the tent top. He climbed up the rest of the way and begun walking, and eventually dancing along the tightrope that was attached there.

           He reached the other side and detached the tightrope from its hook, using it as Tarzan would use a vine to swing back down to the ground below. Cane was ready on the platform above, her hands gripping the trapeze – the ropes that suspended the metal bar in her hands were twisted up intentionally so that she would spin as soon as she took off. The spotlight focused on her as a drumroll began. Candy Cane ran forward and put her faith in the trapeze as she prepared for her favorite performance trick. She spun around and around in mid-air as the trapeze swung her forward while it tried to untwist itself. Then, something happened. The crowd gasped in shock as the trapeze rope broke, and Cane went plummeting toward the ground.

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------

           The girl had gotten on the Ferris Wheel and waited for it to climb to the top. She knew it would briefly stop there, and that’s what she needed. She moved closer to the door with one hand on the handle. It was her turn to be at the top now. She threw open the door and looked out over the entire circus. It would be the last thing she saw…she took a deep breath, and jumped out from the cart that was nearly one-hundred feet in the air.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

           The same thing happened inside and outside the Big Top, to both women. That is, they fell straight into someone’s arms instead of hitting the ground. Candy Cane was caught by Candy Pop and hoisted into the air above his head; this had been part of their trick, after all – Cane had never been in any danger. The girl outside looked up at her savior to see luminous golden eyes set in a grey face staring down at her.

           “You should really be more careful,” the Puppeteer spoke, “We could’ve lost you.”

           “It wouldn’t matter. No one would miss me.” She replied, still shaken.

           “I would.” He told her gently. He put her on her feet. She started to cry, and he wrapped his arms around her in a tight hug as her tears wet the front of his coat.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

           Back inside, the jesters finished the show with performances with their animals. Lions, tigers, bears, elephants, and more delighted the crowd with their exciting routines. The show took about three hours in all, and afterwards bright orange, red, and black confetti rained down on the audience from above with a multitude of small candies. Most of the people filed out to enjoy the rest of the circus, but there was one woman who ran straight into the ring. She went to Laughing Jack and the Candy Duo, explaining that her son had disappeared.

           “Do you have something of his?” Cane asked. The woman nodded and handed her a small coat. Cane called RJ and Kinney over and had them smell the coat.

           “Those two are better than bloodhounds,” Pop explained. They followed the woman up to where she and her son had been sitting. They caught the child’s scent on the chair, and from there began following a trail out of the tent.

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

           Toby, Masky, and Hoodie were all sitting in front of a booth without their facial gear on, laughing and discussing various things as they saw people starting to file out of the Big Top and leave the circus. Some stayed behind for more games and rides, but it was really late so most were headed home. Toby heard crying and turned toward the sound. He watched a woman with a distraught young child approach a man in a costume and start speaking to him. The woman gestured to the child frequently, and it was clear that the two adults didn’t know each other. Eventually the man reached his hand out and latched onto the child’s hand as the woman let go. With a bad feeling in his gut and no second thought, Toby stood and approached the pair.

           “What’s going on?” he managed to ask without stuttering.

           “Oh, I just found this little boy. He said he was lost, but it’s okay. That man works here and he says he’ll help him find his parents.” The woman said.

           “He works h-here, huh?” Toby looked at the man, who was dressed in a costume with a full mask. “What was your job ar-round the circus t-tonight?” the young proxy crossed his arms as he stared the stranger down. He realized that without his mask and googles, it was hard to tell that he was one of the booth workers.

           “Does it really matter, Twitch?” Toby glared at the use of that insult.

           “Y-yeah, actually, it d-does. Because I’ve been working here since the c-circus opened-d tonight and I haven’t-t seen you around before.” The man froze at those words.

           “I-I was late. You wouldn’t have seen me when they were handing out assignments for the night.”

           “Who did y-you talk to when you g-got here?” Before the man could answer, Toby continued. “I’ll let you in on a s-secret. The owners only hire p-people they know really w-well to help with Hallowe’en night. If you were one of those people, w-we would already know each oth-ther.”

           “They needed extra help tonight so they called in an old friend. I do work here.”

           “Oh y-yeah? Hey Pop,” Toby called out past the man. “Did-d you bring in someone n-new?”

           “No, I didn’t.” the man turned to see the two jesters, the monochrome clown, two lions, and a very panicked woman. The woman seemed relieved as the child shouted for her and slid his hand out of the stranger’s. The boy ran to his mother, and on the way RJ nuzzled the boy’s chest as if to say, ‘found him’. The man turned and tried to make a run for it, but he only succeeded in smacking right into Hoodie.

           “Where do you think you’re going?” he grinned as he grabbed one of the man’s arms. Masky walked over and grabbed his other arm.

           “Yeah, you’ve got a date with an officer down at the police station,” he chimed in. “Good call, Toby,” he said over his shoulder as the two older proxies escorted the struggling man away.

           “You guys can bring him to my tent in the back to await the authorities,” Pop told them, and they headed in that direction. Of course, Pop had a very different plan in mind for the man – one that involved sic-ing Jason on him instead of bringing in police.

           “You have a lovely smile, Amelia.” The Puppeteer complimented his latest charge. The girl’s face turned pink as she looked away from him. He had managed to get her to stop crying as he talked her through what she was dealing with. He had even gotten her to smile a bit. Now he had to convince her to return home and discard her ‘final message’ to her parents before they found it. She was afraid to go home, he could see. What if they had already found the message? She was afraid of how they would react.

           It took a little time, but he managed to talk her into it. He also agreed to walk her home. He bid a temporary farewell to Helen and Dina, whom had been sitting with them and offering what support they could, and he and Amelia headed off. They talked about random things here and there as they walked, and before she knew it they were at her house. He walked her up to the door, and promised to be there again soon to listen to her again. She gave him a tight hug before she went inside.

           “Happy Hallowe’en,” she said awkwardly as she pulled away. He smiled.

           “Happy Hallowe’en.” He repeated.

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

           Somewhere far away from the town where the circus had stopped this year, Jeff was at it again. He had slaughtered seventeen of them now – seventeen sex offenders that had been dressed in costumes and trying to lure little children with candy. It was sickening. If he hadn’t become so desensitized to seeing it over the years, he might have thrown up. He had also taken out four bastards that had poisoned or otherwise tampered with the candy they had been giving out. He stalked the city streets keeping an eye out for more of them.

           He walked on to a new neighborhood; he was sure he got all of them in the last one. He had his head down and fell into his thoughts as he moved forward, until he ran into someone who was running in his direction. They both fell backwards onto the ground, and Jeff looked over at the stranger only to meet with a familiar pair of green eyes set in a stitched face.

           “Liu?” he asked cautiously.

           “Jeff?” came the reply. “It’s so good to see you again!” Jeff smiled as they both stood up, only to have his face twist in concern as Liu gripped his head and started mumbling ‘no’.

           “It’s a holiday, and I haven’t talked to him in years! Just let me have this one goddamn night, Sully!” he growled.

           “Fine.” Sully spat from the back of Liu’s mind as he stopped trying to take over. “Just this one night.” Jeff noted the shocked look on Liu’s face that quickly turned into a smile.

           “Jeff! I missed you!” he said as he wrapped his arms around his brother. Jeff tensed up at the embrace, still wary of Sully. When he noted that the split personality wasn’t making an appearance, he hugged back.

           “I missed you too, Liu.”

Diosa: Tada! Too bad we didn’t bet money! I’m gonna ask the salesgirl to take my picture right now for Twitter. So there! Suck it!

RJ: Suck it, huh? What can I suck?

Diosa: Really? You’re making sexual innuendos while I’m wearing a clown suit?

RJ: I don’t know how a woman can still look so damn sexy in a clown suit but Diosa Washington is that woman.

Diosa smirks: I do look hot. 

RJ: Very. Come here, Miss Sexy Clown, sit on my lap. I got some balls for you to juggle.

Diosa laughs: Did you really go there?

RJ smiles: I did. Come closer. 

She slides onto his lap, giggles as he kisses her cheek.

RJ whispers: You’re so beautiful, Diosa.

Diosa smiles, snuggles in closer to him. It’d been a while since she’d laughed so hard without being drunk or high.

It was a good feeling.

It’s Great to Be Back, Bob!

Thoughts on episode four, ‘11/9′:

Let’s take stock of our characters’ ballots, which we saw in an intro I really liked.

For Hillary - RJ the cameraman, Beverly, Dr. Vincent, Winter, Ivy

For Trump - Serena, Gary, Kai

For Stein - Ally

For Johnson - Harrison

For Oprah (LOL) - Meadow writes her in.

Shout out to me for accurate clown sorting so far! I’m very confident that the three clowns that kill Serena are Kai, Harrison, and Meadow.

Speaking of Serena, let’s get her out of the way. As with most characters I’ve seen Emma Roberts play, I wanted to backhand that bitch into the sun within a minute of her introduction. She mocks Beverly while she herself is too lazy and immoral to actually work for a position she plans to fuck her way into, and she does it while also being the kind of despicable and smugly privileged woman who spouts girl power but pulls the lever for the patriarchy in the privacy of the voting booth. She could not be killed off fast enough. The cameraman was brave but not very smart. I’m glad the puppy was fine.

Beverly cracks me up when she’s reporting because she seems way too chipper for stories on headless torsos and whatnot, and that’s such a contrast to her own very done personality. Her scene with Kai at the Butchery on Main was one of my favorite parts from this episode. I do not, however, hold out much hope that Beverly will actually get the “equal power” she desires. I like Adina in this role. I can see it becoming her best.

As with Beverly, Kai finds Harrison and Meadow at low points in their lives. Meadow is in recovery from cancer and unemployed, Harrison isn’t making money in a job where he’s routinely humiliated, and they’re losing their house while stuck in a marriage that gives neither of them pleasure or comfort. So in fact, they were very honest when we met them back in episode 2. There is no sign, however, of Harrison’s bee-keeping hobby. That’s kind of interesting. These characters continue to be a lot of fun while also having serious sides. I’m not here for anyone slagging new cast members when Billy Eichner and Leslie Grossman are bringing this kind of quality work to the series.

We finally get a little more of Winter! And we find out that she and Ivy knew each other before she became Oz’s babysitter. I’m actually a little surprised at how they looped Ivy in, despite her involvement being very unsurprising. For me, this lays to rest the possibilities that Ivy is secretly the cult’s leader or knowingly the natural mother of Kai’s son. We don’t see her meet Kai or pinky swear. She *could* know only Winter- but then why would she never tell Ally? I might guess blackmail, but I’m far from convinced of that.

Speaking of people with somewhat nebulous ties to the cult, let’s mention Gary. We know he’s going to be a Kai supporter on the political front, but that doesn’t mean he has to be a clown- although he may well be. There can be different levels of involvement. He’s in it deep enough to be complicit with the whole grocery story setup, but I just don’t know how well he’ll mix with two proud feminist women who kind of helped him lose his hand.

We see little of Ally this episode and even less of Dr. Vincent. There’s not anything to add to their character profiles other than Rudy’s vote, so I’ve left them for now. I’m also ignoring Kai because I have too much shit to say in an episode post. I’m planning a fairly substantial profile about him.
