*appears in a cloud of confetti*

Hello Miss Raccoon!! 🫶

May I request a Don't Imagine with the lovely Crimson?

Preferably something fluffy and sweet?

(And I'm not 100% sure if your skellys purr or not, but if it's a possibility to include with the fella...)

My apologies for taking so long, but yes, you may request my favourite boi! Purring isn't the first thing I think of for whatever reason but I don't see why they can't.

Don't imagine coming inside after shoveling snow for an hour. How your whole body feels numb and how you struggle to take off your frozen outer layers. How you all but kick off your boots and don't even bother hanging up your coat to dry. How you only want to crawl into bed and never leave.

Don't imagine nearly jumping out of your skin when Crimson peeks into the mudroom. How you weren't even aware that he was home and how it frustrates you that he was being lazy while you nearly froze to death. How he takes one look at you and doesn't even need to ask to know how you're feeling.

Don't imagine how soft his tone is when he comments on the state of you. How he doesn't even bother cracking a joke and instead offers to help warm you up. How he gives you no time to protest before leaving to get the kettle boiling. How he calls back from the kitchen to change into something warm and dry.

Don't imagine changing into your fuzziest pajamas and nearly collapsing onto your bed from exhaustion. How Crimson sneaks up behind you and bundles you up in a blanket before hauling you off to the living room. How he makes sure you're extra comfy before handing you your hot drink of choice and putting on a movie you've been meaning to watch.

Don't imagine feeling so incredibly loved with all this attention. How your earlier irritation seems to melt away as your muscles thaw out. How you lay your head against your doting partner's chest and wonder how a skeleton can be so comfortable.

Don't imagine his hand resting on your hip and how he idly massages your skin through your pajamas with his thumb. How careful he is not to tear the fabric with his sharp claws. Definitely don't imagine how your heart skips a beat as his hand starts to wander. How he chuckles at your reaction but moves his hand back to where it was previously. How you almost feel disappointed he didn't keep going.

Don't imagine how he nuzzles into your hair and murmurs how you always smell good. How he whispers that he really doesn't deserve someone as sweet as you. How you gently stroke the back of his hand and snuggle a bit closer to him. How you reassure him that he deserves to be loved and that you definitely love him.

Don't imagine how he stills when you say that. How you can tell he's not sure how to respond. How you begin to hear a low rumbling when he nuzzles your head again. How he blushes when you ask if he's purring but notably doesn't deny it. How you decide not to ruin the moment by teasing him about it right now.

First, Previous, & Next Request

When I was a kid, monsters made me feel that I could fit somewhere, even if it was an imaginary place where the grotesque and the abnormal were celebrated and accepted.

Happy Birthday, Guillermo del Toro!

The Ladies of the Maw

These are just characters that have like zero connection to LN cannon other than the fact there's a painting of five ladies in the Maw. Please note this js just for fun and is in no way cannon.

A few images were undquashed by this post here

These were inspired by these ripped models from this post here

- Red / Crimson

• "The Patroness"

• "The savior"

• "The Mother"

• "The sun"

Red made the mall is a safe place to try and escape the nowhere's torment. She lived in the nowhere for a long time she didn't remember what the waking world looked like anymore but she knew it wasn't as twisted as the nowhere. She denied that nowhere entirely after growing up and it's torment she took in many children and Green was extremely close to her, she was raised by red and saw her as a mother. She fully intended to carry on her work but as she grew the nowhere started to whisper to her about all the things that could give her if she just killed red. So she did. Red felt nothing but betrayal she watched her broken child devour her.

- Green / Clover

• The Governess

• "My good luck charm" by Red

• "My darling child" by Red

Greenfield mixed feelings about eating red. The nowhere had convinced her that red was selfish and deceitful. She'd hidden things from green. Green became pretty erratic after red's death, she continued to keep kids and (now) adults she grew up with safe. But the thing in her head eventually convinced her that the adults were conspiring against her, so she killed them off slowly one by one. Then they were a threat to the children so she killed them all. The voices said she needed a successor so she took in Blue to "Keep her safe". By now the children were terrified of her so blue was reasonably scared. Green did take care of her but often locked her in a cage and made her sing for hours on end. As blue grew up, outgrowing her cages Green had started killing the children as they were all "evil". She brought them all to what it is today; a gluttonous buffet and a prison for any child.

- Blue / Sea

• The Countess

• "Song bird" by Green

• "My gem" by Green

When Blue was an adult, she couldn't take it anymore so she bashed in Green's skull. She was devastated when she heard hundreds of screams coming from the broken scope she let the mall continue to operate without trying to stop it. Her quarters were filled with beautiful dresses, kimonos, and clothing of all sorts, she often dressed up and tried to put on a beautiful persona. But every time she tried it would only stick before eventually she started to cry and whale again and again, her face staining with makeup and her clothes now becoming messy and dreadful. She took a child from the prison in hopes it would make herself happy, and it did at least for a while.

(chose this one because of the blueish outfit - just fit)

WARNING: Mention of su*cide

- White / Pearl

• The Mistress

• "My Flower" by Blue

• "My light" by Blue

White was raised as Blue's child, she was spoiled with dolls and dresses singing her to sleep, and overall treating her like a doll. White wanted her mother's attention and love real love. She didn't want all the material thanks she was given but if that was all her mother can love maybe if she was like a doll her mother would love her too. She wore a doll mask and dressed in pure White to mask her emotions, but still her mother paid her no mind. Blue songs became less and less comforting over the years as they slowly devolved into screaming and wailing of pain. When white was 20 years old blue hung herself in her quarters. Being left all alone and having no way to manage it white sunk into the mask. She let the nowhere puppet her around, giving up nearly all her autonomy. She took in a child when she was 25, the child was known as Six (the lady). White gave her a mask to hide her emotions so she too could resemble a doll. She doted on her as if she was a doll, brushing her hair, dressing her up, making her dance and sing. However any emotion that she showed besides happiness or content was met with disappointment from White. White often said how perfect dolls were as they never cried, they never complained, they never even talked they were perfect.

- Six (The Lady)

• The Geisha / The Lady

• "Doll" by white

• "Mama" by Torch (Younger)

• "Mother" by Torch

Six was traumatized by all the events that had played out before the mall. The nest, the forest, the pale city, it was all too much for a young mind to handle. So she's silently resigned to the new life. Six grew up with an Infinity for the Dolls and their perfection. I don't have much on her other than when she was going to take power from White she couldn't kill her so she sent her away to the depths of the mall to be tended by the staff. After several times she made amends with mono and they kept in contact with each other through the TV and messenger birds. She is the only lady that has produced a biological successor to her role.

- Torch

• "My little light" by The Lady

• "My girl" by The Thin Man

• "The Little Miss" by the staff

Torch also known as the flashlight girl is the biological daughter of The Lady & The thin man.

Red - Green

- Red was a good mother, but Green was influenced onto a bad path by the Nowhere

Green - Blue

- Blue never saw Green as a mother, she was terrified of her all her life after being psychologically tormented by her.

Blue - White

- Adoptive Mother/Daughter relationship, Blue wanted to be a good mother but she was to busy drowning in her own grief that she was emotionally neglectful to white.

White - Six (The Lady)

- White was raised to keep her emotions behind a mask (literally). She gave a mask to her successor as the only form of support she could give (or what she viewed as support). Their relationship was more like a teacher and student. It's hard to say if it was White or the Nowhere speaking during Six's (The Lady's) childhood.
