#the haunted and the hollow

[mrhyde-mrseek]

I know I just showed y’all my favorite OC, but does anyone want to see my OLDEST OC?

It’s Libra Nox! I’ve posted a drawing or two of her here before, I don’t know if anyone remembers the few posts I made about my WIP The Haunted and the Hollow, but it took a WHILE to get there

2018-2019

I was a warrior cats kid in 7th grade, and I loved wolves, so obviously I made my own warrior cats ripoff trilogy with wolves instead of cats (I don’t remember what it was called though unfortunately)

Libra/Twig was originally a boy, and his name was Twig (but I’d planned on changing it later in the story for plot reasons)

He had two moms (yay lesbians)

I made so much art for this I WISH I still had some of it 😭

In the story there were these magic wolves with wings that were basically gods and controlled different elements (like fire, water, plants, light, etc.)

Libra/Twig was one of these (I think he controlled the stars which was how he got the name Libra??)

Originally I was gonna name him Virgo but decided that sounded too feminine (oh how the tables have turned)

Fun fact, this story birthed ANOTHER character I’ll probably talk about in another post

2019-2022

Libra was still a guy but now he’s a human with fire powers

I think he was like 14?? He barely had any adult supervision though, the only technically adult around him long enough to be considered supervision was 18

This story had the same winged wolf gods from the previous one and was also a trilogy, I don’t really know how to explain what the plot was because it was complicated as fuck and constantly changing

It was called Nox Chronicles

Yes that was his actual outfit, I know it’s boring as hell, I wish I’d chosen a different color for his shirt because it looks kinda weird with the light blue

He didn’t have two moms anymore, he had an adopted family who hated him for literally no reason (I was still on the Harry Potter hyperfixation train in 2019)

I think he was the only one of his superpowered friends who could communicate with the wolf god creatures?

It was at this point I decided he was bi

He might’ve had wolf ears at one point, I don’t remember

Edgy badly written teenage protagonist

2022-present

Libra’s a girl now!! Yay!!

She’s still bi

(THIS is the Libra from The Haunted and the Hollow I was talking about btw)

She has a GOOD FAMILY NOW with a TWIN SISTER and a LOVING SINGLE MOM and is MUCH more fleshed out character-wise

She’s a witch, as is the rest of her family

THIS. STORY. HAS. PROPER. COHERENT. LORE. AND. WORLDBUILDING

She’s autistic and has social anxiety

She’s gonna have a girlfriend!!

Her special interest is cryptids and cryptozoology

I gave her cute little glasses and an actually decent outfit/color scheme

She’s still 14 but she has actual adult supervision (she goes to a summer camp)

I kept the fire but but changed it from controlling fire (too destructive and flashy) to divination using fire

She loves the color yellow. Just thought I’d share that :)

me: I'm a homebody i like to stay at home!

the home: 

muddles my perception of time

Changes in both size and distance

lulls me into sense of safety and twist it into an oppressive paranoia inducing hellouse-scape

compels me to forget my own autonomous existence 

waters down the outside and/ or exaggerate it to mythical extent 

shrinks front door perron when i ascend, jarringly draws it out when i descend.

all its windows views are other walls of itself

the backyard fence looms in every horizon

bitter to abandonment of what belongs under its roof, including me when i go out to buy some good ol orange fanta

 doesn’t look for me under its roof, it always knows where I'm.

when it sleeps doors never open, i don’t know it’s sleeping schedule

whatever happens silently around the corners is real, my apprehension is valid and understandable, and indeed i should panic.

LITERATURE SERIES: Classic Horror

“The horror genre never dies. It just keeps getting re­invented and it always will. Horror is a universal language; we're all afraid. We're born afraid, we're all afraid of things: death, disfigurement, loss of a loved one. Everything that I'm afraid of, you're afraid of and vice versa. So everybody feels fear and suspense.” —John Carpenter

Meet me in the hollows, party till the sun is gone. Hollows stay where hollows stay, meet my over by the lake.

I've gotten good at leaning on metaphors I've gotten good at living on someone else's page

I cut my teeth on secondhand sentiments You can't trust a single thing I say

The crows in the garden are laughing at my expense Drowning out all the lies that I might have told instead

I keep my closet free of skeletons 'Cause I'm much better at digging graves

But I always dig up bones in your sympathy I can't trust a single thing you say

I light torches in my sleep I have gasoline in my veins I am always burning, burning, burning

And I know that you mean so well But I am not a vessel for your good intent

I've grown a mouth so sharp and cruel It's all that I can give to you, my dear

Don't look too hard, 'cause you won't like the scars he left in me

I'm afraid Is this a bunker or a shallow grave?

Send me anywhere, take me out I'm the well they're gonna drag you down

I am a falling axe I am a sharpened knife I am a poison asp I am a risk to your life I am a swinging bat Tumbling dynamite I am the beast at your back You better run for your life

I will only break your pretty things I will only wring you dry of everything

You gotta know that this won't last Desperation will erase the fact I'm keeping all Of the answers in my cigarette box

I've gotten good at making up metaphors I've gotten good at stretching the truth out of shape And all these words are sweet and meaningless

My darling, the devil knows my name

But if you're fine with that You can be mine like that

Yet another wonderful comm from @slimeshade , ft @dawnbreak-daily 's Noon and my Haunt <3

I find it so funny how few straight/cis characters I have. Like, in SMS alone, we have:

-Holmes and Watson, who are a couple (and Holmes is also demisexual)

-Griffin, who’s aroace

-Jekyll/Hyde, who’s gay

-Victor, who’s gay

-Both Harkers, who are each some flavor of queer (I can’t decide) and also polyamorous

-Mycroft, who’s aro

-Utterson, who’s bi

-Edmund, who’s pan

-And Walton, who’s a gay trans man

AND THEN you’ve got all my other stories, such as:

The Case Files

-Clara (aroace)

-Watson (bi)

-Harker (bi)

-Adam (unlabeled)

-The Time Traveller and Jekyll/Hyde (dating, TT is gay, J/H is bi)

-Griffin (aroace) (I really like that headcanon for him in every universe apparently)

-Allan (demisexual)

-Wendy (lesbian)

-Christine (ace)

-Dorothy (lesbian)

The Haunted and the Hollow

-Libra (bi)

-Koda (demisexual)

-Birdy and Lily (dating, B is pan, L is a trans lesbian)

-Henry (trans boy)

-Maya (aroace)

-Ryan (nonbinary)

-Jodie (lesbian)

-Max (lesbian)

The Afterlife Chronicles

-Sasha (bi)

-Robin (lesbian)

-Anthony (bi)

-Baz (gay)

-Morgan (aromantic)

-Loreley (bi)

-Nicora (lesbian)

-For Thanatos I have absolutely no fucking clue, he’s not really interested in romance or sex, he’s more focused on ruling Heaven and stopping the approaching Apocalypse.

-And then we also have a list of angels and demons who just muddle the whole matter up so for most of the non-humans, identity is just chaos.

Hyacinth

-Apollo (bi)

-Hyacinthus (gay)

-Zephyrus (gay)

-Artemis (aroace)

-Hermes (bi)

-Dionysus (pan)

-Thamyris (gay)

Red Sun

I haven’t actually really given this one much thought; the only two I’m positive of are:

-Sanzang (aroace)

-And Huo (bi)

But I don’t know about Wukong, Bajie, Wujing, or Longma yet.

tbh it is incredible how compelling bingge and shen jiu are considering they're characters who ceased to exist as soon as the novel began

Haunted Knight ~

Been messing around with a concept based on a dream I had. It's an AU where Ghost fuses their shade with Hollow's to save them from dying of void-loss in the Dream-No-More ending and as a result they essentially become a Tutelary spirit that watches over them.
