#this could channel into a deep obsession later

[heavensickness]

I know that we have talked about the subtle hints in Leander's words and actions that point out to him potentially being possessive and jealous over MC; such as not letting Ais treat them a drink and how he talks about other LIs slightly negative enough that MC doesn't take an interest in them (in another words, he is trying to manipulate MC in an unnoticable way). One of the things that really caught my attention (and I didn't see someone pointing out to) was when MC said Kuras saw them without their clothes. He just chokes, and a long, uncomfortable silent follows.

Leander is portrayed as the guy who always tries to lighten up the mood and smooth out the awkward moments. I found it very odd that he didn't even try to say "Yeah I see how that happened! Anyways-" etc. to save Kuras and MC from that awkwardness. The long, tense silence that extended between them was also emphasized. That was one of the few moments where I felt that Leander was actually displeased and upset, and maybe even jealous of Kuras seeing MC naked. I just wanted to point out to this as another hint regarding Leander's true emotions because he sure guards them well, especially his ugly feelings

happy october my loves :3

the blood that splattered against Rafe’s mask was euphoric to him, the stress and anger taken from his body.

the light that left his victim’s eyes as they slipped into their everlasting slumber sent shivers down his cold spine as he dropped the body on the tiled floor.

“you’ll never be around my girl ever again.”

Michael, a 22 year old frat boy who suddenly became obsessed with you during a party, was one that frightened you more than your boyfriend.

Michael was stalker-ish, following you to every class in hopes to get a glance of you between hours. he would show up to every single place you were, and after expressing to Rafe how eery he made you, Rafe just told you, “i’ll take care of it.”

you didn’t exactly know what he meant by that, not that you really cared.

it was a common occurrence. a person would piss you off or annoy you and Rafe would simply “take care of it”.

you believed something was suspicious when the people began to go missing and a reappearance of a masked killer was in the news every week, and deep in the pit of your stomach was excitement.

a mystery as to whom the killer was, a mystery as to what they wanted in the Outer Banks. it didn’t help that you were constantly surrounded the media, as you were the leading reporter around the town.

“Welcome back to channel 10 news, i’m Y/n L/n and today we’re at the crime scene of the masked killer who goes by the name of Ghostface…”

a chill went down Rafe’s spine as he sat on your shared bed, twirling the handle of the knife against his thigh as he watched the news intently.

you, his gorgeous girlfriend, reporting on the crime he committed last night while you slept softly.

were you as sinister, too? the gorgeous and twisted smile on your face as you reported the case made Rafe wonder.

he took the large kitchen knife and wiped the blood onto his jeans, the substance staining his clothes as he watched intently.

“and be careful, citizens of Outer Banks. Ghostface is still out there…”

your words rung in Rafe’s ears as the channel cut back to the people sitting in the station. Rafe grabbed his bag of cocaine that was left on the wood coffee table, putting the powder on his finger as he snorted it.

a few hours later, Rafe was sprawled out on your shared couch. one arm tucked behind his head, the other laying lazily on his side.

your keys rattled as you entered your shared home, letting out a yawn as you put your coat on the coatrack.

kicking off your heels, you approached Rafe, who was dead asleep. you threw your purse on the arm chair, kissing your boyfriend’s forehead.

he stirred in his sleep as you lit a cigarette, inhaling the smoke before blowing it out gently. you stood in the kitchen, wanting to feel your boyfriend hold you, but not wanting to wake him up.

walking into your shared bedroom, you opened the closet door. shuffling through the walk-in, your eyes scanned the clothes in search for a comfier outfit.

but when your eyes landed on a mask, a Ghostface mask, you could feel your heart stammer in your chest.

“y/n?”

Rafe’s voice scared you, making you jump slightly. the cigarette hung low on your nude-stained lips as you picked up the mask.

“what’s this, Rafe?”

Rafe eyed you, not knowing what to say. his pulse began to rise, his heart thumping nervously against his chest.

“i got it at the halloween store. guess they’re tryna have everyone be Ghostface.”

Rafe answered, leaning against the doorframe with his arm raised above his head. you cocked your eyebrow at him, but a naughty idea twisted into your mind.

you walked over to your boyfriend, putting the mask on over his head. you bit your lip, feeling your pussy tingle from the fantasy.

with Rafe’s flexing biceps as he leaned his head to the side, staring at you curiously, he watched as you subconsciously rubbed your legs together.

“is my naughty girl getting turned on?”

Rafe questioned you, his large hands trailing slowly down to your ass before squeezing it in his palms.

you nod, biting your bottom lip as Rafe suddenly walks you backwards onto your shared bed. a small noise escapes your desperate lips as you fall onto the plush bedding.

Rafe’s hand trails painfully slow down your face, dragging down to your neck, his cock swelling at the thought of how easy it would be to kill you.

your pretty neck so perfect for his hand, his knife, his pleasure.

as your eyes fluttered shut, all you could hear was Rafe’s staggered breathing behind the mask. within moments, a sharp, cold object was placed against your neck.

Rafe was beyond happy you couldn’t see his face, because the growing lust and feverish tendencies were driving him insane.

using his mask, his knife, his girl the way he pleased. and you never suspected a god damn thing, never suspected he was the ravenous murderer of the Outer Banks.

a gentle sigh escaped from your throat, realizing how Rafe was toying with your life for the sake of his pleasure.

the sharp edge of the knife gradually popped off each button of your blouse, your chest slowly rising and falling as your pupils were blown out wide.

you watched the murderous object trail down your clothes, so desperate to dig into your skin.

“Rafe-“ you panted out, the knife completely tearing your skirt apart.

but Rafe didn’t respond, too lost in the way your body was so reactive to him. so reactive to someone who could kill you easily.

your black panties were quickly shred with the skirt and Rafe felt himself pulling his pants down just enough for his throbbing cock to spring out.

he wasted no time in shoving his cock deeply into you, his knife angled directly where your vaginal walls swallowed his cock.

he gently pressed the knife harder into your skin, making you flinch from the stinging. your blood began to slowly trickle down your pelvis, and the sight made Rafe go feral.

his hips moved quickly against yours, his hand placed directly on your wound. moans escaped your mouth as you played with your breasts.

“does that hurt?”

Rafe asked you quietly, his eyes still fixated on your wound as his hips relentlessly pounded into you.

when you didn’t respond, Rafe took the knife and cut a little more onto your skin.

“fuck, Rafe! yes it hurts,” you choked out. tears built in your eyes, your pussy throbbing.

“good. i want it to fucking hurt.”

Rafe’s voice was rough and coarse, way too lost in his fantasy. his other hand rubbed your clit harshly, his eyes fixated on the way your bodies met.

Rafe snapped out of his gaze when your hand gripped his wrist tightly, his eyes going up to your face.

you took Rafe’s wrist and brought it up to your neck, his fingers closing on your throat.

“yeah? my dirty girl wants me to choke her while i fuck her dumb in my mask?”

your pussy clenched around his throbbing cock at his dirty talk. your eyes squeezed shut as you let out a breathy whine, the pain from your cut adding to your pleasure.

your legs began to shake as you came, your juices soaking his cock as he shot his cum into your womb.

“fucking take that cum.”

Rafe cooed, slapping your ass harshly, a red hand print tattooing onto your skin.

your chest was rising and falling as your boyfriend slid his cock out of you, your skin stinging as Rafe took the mask off.

his hair was matted onto his forehead, sweat dripping down onto his neck. in one swift motion, Rafe leaned down and licked the blood from your wound. he then walked to the bathroom, shoving his cock back into his pants.

you laid on the bed still, tired eyes as Rafe reentered the bedroom. he had a damp washcloth and bandage, his eyes trailing at your other scarred skin as he cleaned up your wound.

once he was finished with aftercare, he stroked your cheek gently. “my good girl.”

———————————————————————

the next morning came too quick. you woke tiredly, snoozing your alarm clock as you fought the strong urge to go back to sleep.

but when you didn’t feel Rafe’s arm around you, or his warmth, or his presence, you sat up in the dark room.

you turned on your bedside lamp, your phone reading four am. you rubbed the sleep from your eyes as you stood up, your legs sore, along with the new scar.

your feet padded quietly against the wooden floor as the light was on in the kitchen. your heart began to pound against your chest as the figure was standing next to the sink, the sound of the water pouring from the spout the only noise in the whole apartment.

“Rafe?”

you asked softly, the tall figure turning around. there stood a man in all black, a bloodied knife in his hands with blood splattered on his tanned skin.

in the Ghostface mask, in the kitchen, stood the killer. but when Rafe saw how you didn’t seem frightened, but yawned at the sight, he cocked his head to the side.

“if you’re going to be cleaning your murder weapons in the night can you at least make me a cup of coffee?”

your words seemed to hit him like a truck, as you approached the tall figure and took the mask off his head. Rafe’s jaw was gaped slightly open as he stared at you in shock.

“what…”

“of course i know you’re Ghostface, Rafe. i’m not a fucking idiot. you’re getting really sloppy with your kills lately. especially when i told you about that one guy stalking me and he randomly got murdered days later? i would’ve at least waited a month.”

you said nonchalantly, grabbing a mug as you poured water in your keurig. Rafe was in disbelief. he felt stupid for not expecting you to suspect him, let alone know.

“you- you don’t care?” Rafe asked, crossing his arms over his chest as he stared at you.

“why would i? you would’ve killed me by now if you really wanted to. plus i get something out of it, i get annoying people out of the way and get news to cover.”

the whole situation was shocking Rafe. he couldn’t believe you just didn’t care.

“i mean i’ve thought about killing people before but never acted on it. but when you first started murdering people, i didn’t know until the first few months. but with news coverage comes investigating, and i’ve known you were the famous masked killer for months.”

you didn’t say another word, just stirring your coffee as you left the kitchen and walked back into your bedroom.

“try to get some sleep, yeah?” you called out.

and Rafe stood still in the kitchen, his mind racing a million thoughts, but one that wouldn’t escape his mind.

you were crazy too.

Roxanne - moulin rouge inspired fic

Simon "ghost" Riley x cam girl! Reader

smut but no sex?, fluff, a teeniest bit of angst

this fic is my birthday present for myself. Happy birthday to me

“Roxanne... You don't have to put on that red light."

Simon's eyes were stinging as he waited for the 'LIVE' notification on your freecamcast.com channel. Simon didn't know why he spent his off time obsessively waiting for the fake attention of a woman who had no idea who he was until 4 months ago. He sighed desperately as the notification still hadn't come. You didn't have a typical routine; you were never consistent with when you were live.

He leaned back in his chair and rubbed his eyes, growing tired as it got later. He knew you lived within the same time zone as him because you would say it was the same time for you as it was for Simon. He was relatively new to your channel, you were one of the most popular camgirls on this site, consistently within the top 5 % of creators. He weirdly felt a sense of pride, that his favorite creator was so popular.

Finally, Simon's computer chimed, alerting Simon that you had finally gone live. He smiled softly as he clicked into your livestream. There were already a few thousand viewers on your stream and when he saw you, his heart fluttered. There you were; your hair pulled back into a thick ponytail with a light pink bow on top and the baby pink lingerie set he bought and sent to you. Told you he wanted you to wear it for your birthday and here you were, all dressed up for him. Simon was one of your top viewers and top tipper.

"Hi everyone!" Your soft voice came over Simon's speakers and he sighed happily. He instantly found relief in your voice and the deep centers of your endless eyes. He leaned forward, taking in the appearance of your body in the babydoll dress.

"Thank you all!" You giggled as the chat filled with birthday messages all flying past, everyone hoping to get their message noticed first. You giggled as you watched all the messages go by. You leaned back in your seat. You had a full setup, looking like a professional Twitch steamer setup. You had a soft ring light that cast a very romantic glow on your presence. It made you look ethereal and angelic, more so than you already were.

You hummed along to the soft music that played in the background of your stream. Your chin was tilted up, exposing your jawline and your neck. "How's everyone's night going? Are we having a great time?" You mused, sighing happily. Simon sent off a $50 tip, the first of many of that night. Your stream made a chime to notify you of the tip. You perked up and read the happy birthday message Simon attached to the tip. "Oh! Mr. Ghost! Thank you for the tip. I wore that outfit you got for my birthday, just for you." You beamed, sitting up to show off the lingerie that lay on your body. He sent a message to the chat, smiling as he typed out the message.

Mr. Ghost: looks good on u

You spun your chair once as if to twirl. Your giggles filled the room, making Simon chuckle with you. He felt as if you and him were the only ones on this call. You pushed your chair back and batted your eyelashes at the screen.

Mr. Ghost: so pretty. Glad u like it

You nodded happily, grinning ear to ear. "Of course I like it! How could l not? I just love everything you send me." You winked before moving on to greet the other viewers and Simon sunk back into his seat. He was excited for tonight's stream because he had a private, one-on-one chat with you after. Because he was one of your top tippers, he got special privileges that got him special benefits, like private chats and access to more actions like buying you outfits to wear on stream.

Simon zoned back and returned his focus to you. The stream took a drastic turn, you had shifted your hips back and popped them up, your feet now resting on the armrests of your pink gaming chair. Your eyes were wide and had a hint of innocence to them. Simon watched the screen intensely and his eyes followed the slow movements of your hands. Your hands traced down your thighs and your nails scratched up them. You sighed dramatically and tilted your head to the side, maintaining eye contact with the camera the whole time.

"It's just so sad I'm here all alone on my birthday, a little girl like me, all alone." You fluttered your lashes and the chat went insane as your hand tipped down towards your clothed center. The set Simon got you came with a pair of panties that barely covered your center. You whined, hand slipping over your center and Simon felt his mouth water. You sighed again, sitting up and you returned your feet to the floor. "Whatever is a girl like me to do!" You giggled again as your stream was flooded by anonymous men tipping you anywhere from $20 to $100, just to get a glimpse under your panties.

-

Simon's stomach was in knots. You had sent Simon the link to the private video calls so he could join. The only thing different about this call, the thing making him so nervous, was that he promised to finally get on camera for you to see, just for your birthday. He readjusted his hair one last time before joining the call.

"Mr. Ghost! I was starting to worry that you were gonna ghost me." Your giggle was the first thing he heard and it immediately made him relax. "I'd never do that to you. You know that." He answered you simply and took in your appearance. You had cleaned up from the stream, fixed your hair, and put away all your toys. You were still in your lingerie and Simon smiled. "You look cute."

"Thank you, Mr. Ghostie! A cute guy dressed me." You winked at the camera and Simon chuckled. "Well, he has good taste. Wanna give me a twirl, love?" Simon leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms. Your face lit up and you nodded, standing up and shuffling to get your whole body into frame. He felt himself laugh at your fluffy, white socks. You did a slow spin, showing off the whole outfit. "Very nice…I like it."

"Thank you…Now, I think you have something to show me." You sat back down, resting your elbows on the desk, your chin resting on your hands. "Yeah…right." Simon nervously rubbed his neck and he watched your eyebrows knit together, a worried expression appearing. "You don't have to! I'm not pressuring you." Simon felt his heart flutter and he leaned forward to turn his camera on. Like you, Simon had a semi-profession streamer set up, being big on PC games while on his leave.

He pushed his curls back and smiled as the camera clicked on. "Oh thank fuck. I was hoping you were secretly hot and not some old fuck." You immediately sat up and scootched up to the desk to stare closely at him. He turned his chin in each direction to show off his face to you. You sat back in your seat with the biggest smile on your face. "Happy birthday." Simon smiled back and you pushed yourself up to sit cris-cros on your gaming seat. "Will you do me a favor tonight?" Simon asked, watching you shift around. "Tell me." You twirled a hair on your finger.

"Want you relaxed. Go change. Still gonna make sure you're taken of, but not tonight, angel." He made sure to make pointed eye contact and you had a genuine smile on your face. "Thank you. I didn't want to work on my birthday." You stood up and you left the frame. Simon took a deep breath and adjusted his headphones. He didn't know why he requested this, but something just told him to. He couldn't help but feel like you treated him differently than your other viewers.

You two had done a couple of sessions like this, where he asked for the non-performer you. Simon loved those sessions because it made it feel real. Like he wasn't paying you for friendship, for just a sense of intimacy. You soon came back into the frame, dressed in a light pink hoodie and sweatpant set. Your hood was pulled up on your head and you had slippers on your feet.

"Hey, pretty girl." Simon smiled as you placed your headphones on your head and then your hoodie over the headphones. "Hey." Your soft voice made Simon nearly melt. "Thank you, ghostie." You giggled and Simon leaned back in his chair, finally able to relax. "Simon. I'm Simon." He felt his chest pounding as your eyes softened, testing the name on your lips. "Okay, Simon." You hummed and your eyes scanned a screen off to the side. "Did you wanna just talk or watch a movie, or something?" Simon just shook his head. "It's your birthday. Pick."

"Okay! I have questions about you." You sat up and clicked a couple of things on your end before turning back towards Simon. "Okay, hit me."

The two of you went back and forth for a few hours and Simon was able to determine a few things. You two lived in the same area, pretty close actually. You recently got a kitten, and he told you a little about his job. You both slowly opened up to each other, progressively sharing more and more personal details.

It was nearing 2 am and the both of you were talking like Simon wasn't paying you. Your feet were resting up on your chair and your hoodie was slowly falling off your shoulder. You sighed and looked over towards the window in your streaming room. "Thanks for hanging out with me on my birthday. Would've spent it alone." You smiled and Simon nodded, happy to make you happy. "Of course. I would do this every night if I could." Simon said, cautious for your reaction.

You looked away for a moment before taking a deep breath. "If I…gave you my number…Do you promise me you won't use it for a free session?" Your voice had a desperate tone to it, Simon felt his heart shatter. He nodded, staring at you with a concerned look written all over his face. "I swear on my life." Simon couldn't breathe, your eyes searched his for anything to prove different.

-

His addiction to you got worse. He swore that he wasn't going to be one of those people who couldn't put their phone down, but here he was, desperately waiting for your next message. His day practically revolved around you, more so than it already did. He felt so much closer to you than anyone else who watched your streams. He got a more personal look at you, to see who you were beyond your body.

Simon was lying in bed, phone next to him open to your messages. You weren't streaming that night due to an injury that you didn't say more about and it was driving him nuts not to know about. His eyes flicked back and forth between your messages and the show that was passing time between the next text. Simon was on a one-month leave and was happy to finally have time to relax.

Simon felt a constant buzzing and his eyes whipped down to his phone. Your caller ID was staring back at him and his mind went silent. You never called him out of the blue, always asking before if it was okay.

"(Y/N)? You alright?" Simon sat forward, nervously shifting his weight. "Um…yeah. I'm okay." Your voice gave you away, shaking, and the sniffles you tried to hide came through. "You're lying to me." Simon tried his best to not sound freaked out, trying to sound confident to help you. "No, I'm not okay. I got kicked out of my apartment. Leasing manager found out what I do and ended my lease."

-

Simon felt like he was going to puke. You gave Simon your number 2 months ago and you trusted him with your life. The night before, you called him when you needed support. You called him, explaining that you had been forced out of your home and didn't know what to do. He talked you through the fear and got you placed in a hotel for the night. He didn't know what came over him, his suspicions being confirmed that you lived in the same town as him.

Once you got settled in the hotel, you called Simon back to let him know that you made it to the hotel. He wanted you to have a moment to decompress before anything else happened. He made you promise that you would call you in the morning and he would help you figure out the next steps.

He was already awake when you called the next morning. You sounded better, having a night to think everything over. "You feeling okay?" Simon's voice held a softness that he never heard from himself before. "Yeah, I'm just hungry." You giggled tiredly and sighed. "I'll send you breakfast, what do you want?" Simon offered like it was nothing. "How about you and I go to breakfast instead?" Simon felt his stomach dance and he chuckled. "I would love to. Give me 5 and I'll come grab you. If you bring a wallet, I'm not coming."

You were so much prettier in person. You smelled even better than Simon imagined and your smile was so bright. Simon pulled up in front of you at the hotel and rolled down the window. "Get in, doll." You got in the car and put your favorite breakfast spot in the GPS.

Simon was trying his best to control his nerves, feeling his hands shake like he was back in basic training. He occasionally looked over at you, just to make sure that you were real. At breakfast, he could barely contain his smile. Your humor matched his perfectly and he never wanted you to leave his sight. "If I offered for you to move in with me until you get your footing, would it ruin everything?" Simon asked you and your eyes softened, leaning forward. "Never."

-

Simon watched your stream from the other room but heard everything. He watched the chat, messages flying by as you put on your performance. You made him promise you that he wouldn't donate that night since he was letting you stay with him. He did slip a $50 in your purse that afternoon. He listened to the soft sounds of your moans, knowing the stream was coming to an end soon.

As soon as you came, you giggled and sat back in your chair to do your sign-off. Simon shifted in his seat as you fake-flirted with the other men in your chat, feeling a sudden urge of jealousy. He didn't like the attention you were giving away and that he couldn't receive any himself until after you finished with the others. When you got off and cleaned up, you exited the room with a bashful look on your face. and nervously sat down next to him. Simon smoothed your hair and looked over your face.

"How much?" He whispered, not wanting to say it out loud, not wanting to completely ruin everything he spent so long to build. "How much what?" You looked at him confused, fidgeting with your manicured nails. "How much for you to stop camming? I'll pay anything…" He ran his hand over your hair and your shoulders dropped and he panicked.

"I can't keep watching you show off to other men. I need to keep you for myself. Please (Y/N)…You don't have to go live anymore…Let me take care of you. Let me make you mine." Simon finished his sentence with a deep breath and waited for your response. He couldn't take the silence as everything processed in your mind. He opened his mouth to speak again when you surged forward.

Your lips connected with his and your hands wrapped around his neck. You sat up on your knees and pushed yourself against his chest. Simon took a moment to catch himself before his hands made their way to your hips, kissing you back with a desperation that made him embarrassed. He pulled you onto his lap and pulled you closer. "Simon…" You gasped and he immediately needed more as he squeezed your hips. "Stay with me." He begged and you nodded.

"Always."

[undreaming-fanfiction]

Steve Harrington, Eddie Munson, Robin Buckley and Nancy Wheeler have a well-known channel on YouTube (the name is something horrible and punny that Eddie and Robin made up, way before they blew up - Four Some (just some four guys and gals you perv). They cover pretty much everything - music reviews, various activities like ice skating, pole dancing or sculpting, they do tasting videos, social experiments and much more. Their personalities are so different but somehow that only makes their content more appealing. It doesn't matter if their videos contain Steve and Eddie replicating the famous pottery scene from the Ghost (and Robin's screeches that they ruined a completely fine vase) or Robin testing whether Nancy's vocal range increases proportionately to how many wine glasses she drinks

Gradually they grow their audience and gather a small crew that works with them. Barb Holland does a lot of editing and directing and she is getting recognized for her achievements, just like Gareth Emerson for his work with sound. Everyone in their crew are friends and are supporting each other in growing and promoting their talents.

There is only one person who has always remained a mystery. The person filming them, always hidden behind a camera. Credits always mention Chris C. and the fanbase tries to pry and figure out who they are, they really do, but the group shuts down their attempts almost instantly. "Chris has been instrumental to this channel's success," Eddie says and there is something hard behind his eyes, something that almost never makes it past his laid-back attitude and usual theatrics. "They have decided to stay out of our videos for a reason and we'd like you to respect their decision."

Not everyone drops it, but the four creators assume a united front and eventually, people stop prying. So it comes as a shock when around a year later, a new video drops on the channel. But the face in it is unknown.

"Hi guys," the young woman smiles and she looks so dejected, so scared, but the sound guy Garreth sits next to her and squeezes her hand, grounding her. "I swore I'd never sit in front of a camera again, but...I think it's time. So let me introduce myself. I am Chrissy Cunningham, but you know me as Chris C. And also..." she takes a deep breath, "I am also Chrissy from the Cunningham family channel."

Chrissy goes through it all. She talks about her life with her mother, an obsessive family blogger, who had Chrissy give up all her hobbies, her friends, her privacy from a young age. How her only friend became the school outcast, Eddie, and she had to keep him a secret too - not because she was ashamed, he meant everything to her, but because her mother would steal him too. How she could never have anything of her own, was always on camera, always tested for reactions, always forced to perform and mocked for it at school. How she couldn't handle it anymore and as soon as she was eighteen, she moved in with Eddie and his uncle. How it was only then that she started learning about herself, about who she was and what she wanted to do. "Now that you know who I am, I hope you can look past what I was made to do years ago and see me as...me. Just me."

She and Gareth leave their seats and are replaced with Eddie and Nancy. While Eddie mostly sits quietly, Nancy introduces their newest project that Chrissy suggested - documentaries on dangers of YouTube, TikTok and their insufficient regulations, especially when it comes to family vloggers and loss of privacy. "It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but that is exactly the point", says Nancy and looks directly at the camera. "We're here on camera, showing you parts of our lives that we want to show. But there are many who didn't consent to this, many who are being exploited for views. And on behalf of this chanel, let me address those who think this is okay. We're coming for you."

- After Lucifer led MC back to their room, Mc couldn’t help but to be curious about the staircase. They couldn’t sleep. How could they not? Their curiosity is eating them alive! And so they wait until they get out of their room. However just before they can get to the staircase

- Some light noises can be heard from the kitchen, their curiosity had now turn to the kitchen. What was that? Would that be Beelzebub?

- Sneaking their way to the kitchen, they took a peek and saw a figure, rummaging through the fridge.

- That is not Beelzebub.

- No. This figure appears that they have long hair and Mc recalled that the brothers don’t have any longer hair.

- A thief? Is this person stealing food?!

- What the hell are they going to do? They can’t tell Lucifer about that! He’ll get suspicious about why they’re not in their room!

- And certainly they can’t ask Mammon. They’re not close and it seems that Mammon doesn’t like them, not even considered to be an acquaintance!

- Asking the rest of the brothers are out of the question! They’re not comfortable with talking to them!

- With no options, MC took a deep breathe and entered the kitchen sneakily.

- Well it seems that Mc realized that their stealth wasn’t good because the floor creak.

- The figure quickly lifted their head up, in a high alert state, they look everywhere until their sight is on MC.

- With the refrigerator open, the dim light shows the mysterious figure. A person with a feminine face, dark skin with moles adore their face. The color of their hair was uncertain due to the light but it’s seems more of a greyish color with a hint of blue

- Blueish greenish eyes widen in shock at the sight of MC. “Eek!!” Shutting the door of the fridge quickly, the mysterious “person” scrambled their way out through the kitchen

- Mc stood there dumbfounded, they’re relief that they’re not attack.

- Looks like they’ll have to ask Mammon in the morning…Goodness gracious…

Hello hello! Yoshi here! Hope you guys enjoy the little blurb of Mc and Lilith’s first encounter! :D!

For Leo

From this ask game

Notes: this isn’t exactly fluff but it’s not really hurt/comfort either, maybe some emotional whump? i was shooting for pure fluff just to prove i COULD but this is the result, which landed somewhere in the middle 😂 just a little getting to know you piece that im not exactly convinced should exist, but it does 🫶 like 5 months in

TW: none really

✥ ✥ ✥ 

The moment that Leo jolts awake, he feels first relief, before he takes a breath and checks his surroundings. He’s mostly sweaty, but nothing else. So that’s… that’s good. He expected the nightmare tonight, and was cautious in how deep he let himself sleep, but as his breathing returns to a normal cadence, he stares at the ceiling in the pitch black bedroom and reminds himself, several times over, that it wasn’t real.

He sneaks into the bathroom and takes a cold shower, redresses, and then tiptoes down the stairs and into the living room. Snowflakes are falling to the ground, visible only where the light from the patio door radiates into the night. 

Leo pours himself a glass of water and selects his favorite blanket from the basket, turns off the lamp, and curls up on the sofa. 

It’s early, or late, depending on your perspective. He powers on the TV and immediately seeks out this medical dramady he begrudgingly started two weeks earlier; it’s stupid, and it’s mindless, and he could never openly like it, but it’s an absolute truth- he does like it.

He keeps the volume muted, opting for the captions instead, and half-watches the graphically imprecise surgical nightmare play out, half-watches the snow. 

His eyes are glued to the TV when Luke appears in the hallway. It takes a moment for Leo to notice him, and so when he does, he’s not certain how long he’s been standing there. Leo wants to change the channel, but thinks maybe drawing even more attention to it is a mistake. He, instead, fights the urge to stand as he straightens his spine, just a little.

Leo has been given painfully explicit permission to watch the TV whenever he wants, but he hadn’t intended Luke to catch him watching this particular thing–

“Good morning,” Luke says, smiling warmly. 

“Good morning,” Leo responds. He smiles back, forcibly relaxing his body. It’s 3:30 in the morning, which, Leo knows, is close to Luke’s normal wake-up time. He hadn’t really thought that part through. Luke yawns and stretches, exposing a little bit of his stomach, and Leo looks away. 

When he disappears into the kitchen, Leo runs his hands through his hair, adjusts the blanket, and himself, as quickly as he can. He hears something clatter, and his grip on his glass tightens. 

“All good,” he hears from the kitchen. 

Luke emerges a few minutes later, two cups of coffee in hand and wearing an easy, genuine smile.

“Can I sit here?” Luke gestures toward the open spot on the sofa and Leo repositions himself, giving Luke a little more room, and lifts the blanket. Luke almost imperceptibly hesitates, then curls himself under it.

“What is this?” Luke asks, his attention momentarily caught up on the TV. 

Leo, mortified, takes a breath.

“It’s uh, actually, it’s called A Cut Above, and it’s… not very good. I found it the other day when I was looking for a–” he pauses, fingers fidgeting, careful with his words “–a thing that is not important, and I’ve been kind of slowly making my way through it. It’s a medical drama, but it’s not very accurate so far…” His jaw snaps shut, painfully aware that he’s rambling.

Luke laughs. “I didn’t know you liked medical dramas,” he says, his eyes landing on Leo. 

“I… don’t think I knew that either? I’ve never really watched one before, but I started it and now I simply must know what happens.” His voice is soft and he puts a silly cadence behind it, which earns him another smile.

“I always have a hard time with them. I know they’re just designed to entertain, but I always get hung up on how inaccurate they are. I used to date this guy who was obsessed with several of them, and it got the point where he wouldn’t watch them with me because of how heated I’d get. This was in med school, and I haven’t really watched any since graduating. What about you?” Luke asks, his voice guarded. “Does it bother you at all? All the…” Luke gestures, grimacing. “Blood and needles and stuff?”

Leo turns his attention to Luke, taking a breath. 

“I don’t think so. Maybe because it’s so ridiculous… I actually used to think I’d become a doctor, too.” Leo swallows, very aware that Luke is watching him with that fake-casual intensity that means he is zoned in. Leo takes another breath, and decides to do it. To give Luke a piece of himself, however small it might be, that he never thought he’d give anyone again. He tries not to think too hard about it. 

“I grew up kind of poor, but after high school, I got a decent job and was able to save some money. I thought maybe I’d go back to school, once I really had a grip on what I wanted to do. I was pretty constantly torn between becoming a doctor or a stripper, though, so I still had some soul searching to do.” He smiles, which Luke returns, but there’s a sadness there, maybe between them both.

“What was the job?” Luke asks. “If you feel comfortable telling me. No pressure.”

“Bartending, usually. Sometimes I took odd jobs, doing oil changes or helping with construction work or whatever became available that filled the daytime hours. My mom was struggling a lot, toward the end… so I kept myself busy and just helped out around the house when I could.”

Leo is not unaware of the sadness in Luke’s expression, and he wonders if his own expression gives him away. It’s a dangerous line he’s toeing, but it’s also a line that he knows he needs to test the limits of.

Still, the overwhelming sense of grief, over what he’s lost and what he’ll never get back, twists at him, and he pivots abruptly. “What about you?” he chokes out. “What did you, um. Did you always want to be a doctor slash politician?”

Luke laughs. “Doctor yes, politician no. To this day, I’m not sure what was my dream and what was my parents’ influence. They were hyper-focused on making sure we both were super successful…” The why that lingers in the air doesn’t need to be spoken. “I don’t blame them, really. And I enjoyed being a doctor, I miss it sometimes. The politician part kind of came out of necessity; I started getting involved in local politics while I was still in med school, and ran for local office after my first year in residency. It was… chaos.”

Leo feels the heat of Luke’s hand along the edge of his, just a second before he feels Luke’s eyes on him. An eternity passes in silence, the light of the TV flickering as the coffee grows cold and the sky starts shifting.

“Are you okay, Leo? Did you sleep at all?” 

Leo clears his throat, tugging the blanket closer to him. “Yes,” he says, his voice a whisper.

Luke studies him, before speaking again. “Have the nightmares gotten bad again?”

“Yes,” Leo says, after a moment’s hesitation. He offers a small smile.

“Do you know,” Luke asks, “that you’re having a nightmare when you’re having them? Can you tell it’s not real in those moments?”

“Sometimes,” Leo responds. “It’s– It can be hard sometimes, because they’re all rooted in reality. They’re never really so far out there that I’d immediately know it couldn’t be real.”

It’s Luke’s turn to nod, as he sips his now-chilly morning coffee. 

Luke clears his throat,  turning his focus half back to the TV. “I don’t know how true any of this is, so take it with a grain of salt, but for what it’s worth- I used to have nightmares sometimes. When I was a kid. And my mom would come in and sit with me until I fell back asleep.” His hand finds Leo’s under the blanket, squeezing it.

“She told me once that if I could identify it was a nightmare, and say this random safe-word that I’m pretty sure she made up on the spot, I could get myself out of whatever terrible story my brain had conjured up.” He pauses, then Leo feels his hand slip free, and Luke stands, retreating toward the kitchen.

“What was the word?” Leo asks genuinely.

“It was 'quicksand' when we were kids. We changed it a few times, but always came back to 'quicksand.' It became kind of a running joke. Whether there’s any truth to that, I make no guarantees. But Rob and I used to swear by it.” 

Leo smiles. “I’ve never heard of kids having safe-words,” he says, following Luke to the other room. He leans against the counter as Luke starts breakfast. 

“Okay, to be fair, it wasn’t exactly a safe-word,” Luke retorts. “It was a word that was intended to keep me safe from my own imagination.” He’s teasing, Leo thinks.

“But it worked? At least sometimes?”

“I distinctly remember it working at least on two occasions,” Luke responds. “Which… I guess taking into account the sheer volume of nightmares I’ve had throughout my life, might not actually be your best bet. But worth a shot?”

Leo nods, clutching the blanket around his shoulders, and moves automatically to help Luke with breakfast. “Worth a shot,” he agrees.

[sparklepocalypse]

mags i'm obsessed you have two rpf wips already i'm dfjkashfjkds

BUT that's not what i'm here to ask about.

He think's my tractor's sexy. I'm so excited for this idea already from the snips you've shared. PLEASE tell me how your big beautiful genius brain came up with that idea and mayhaps a new snip if you could 👐

He Thinks My Tractor's Sexy exists because a commenter on I Want to be Every Button You Press requested a diagram for the various sex positions that Henry and Alex got up to in their torrid DNC Hotel fuckathon, so I drew them some stick figures (available upon request, but Tumblr might think they're lewd). I shared these stick figures in a Discord channel at one point, and @designatedgrape promptly took them and added eggplant emojis to all the little stick figure Henrys in the diagram.

Which caused my brain to spawn the expression "Henry's Canonically Large Aubergine."

Which then spiraled into the idea of Henry as an eggplant farmer (later a farmer of phallic produce in general) and Alex as a peach farmer.

Which in turn, became this fic. So here, have a snippet below the jump! But also ask me more things. 💗

He pulls a crate of aubergines out of the van and sets it on his stand, and a sound in the distance gives him pause. Today’s not one of the family days where local children are invited to come see firetrucks and various farm equipment, so why does he hear…? But he does. He stares in astonishment as a mid-sized tractor with a bucket loader pulls into the farmers’ market parking lot and turns toward the vendor stall area. “What on earth,” he mutters as the tractor approaches. There’s music playing inside the cab, the beat pulsing above the sound of the motor. He can’t see who’s driving, because they’ve got the bucket loader elevated enough that it’s obscuring his view, but they pull into an open berth directly across the way from him, lower the bucket, cut the engine, and the door of the cab opens. He reaches blindly for the side wall of the delivery van as two boots appear on the running board, then two long legs encased in jeans as the driver hops down, then a white sleeveless tee shirt… all attached to an outrageously attractive man. The man reaches into the cab of the tractor and pulls out a black Stetson, planting it firmly atop a mass of unruly, dark curls that Henry has the strangest urge to march over and touch.  Most rewarding day of the week or not, Henry may not survive market day. He allows himself the luxury of staring for just another moment, then steels himself and turns back to his stand. The sign is still in the delivery van, as is his scale, and he climbs inside to pull them out. “Nice eggplants.” It’s a deep voice, warm and full, with a generous amount of vocal fry, and Henry bolts upright in surprise.  The top of Henry’s head collides with the roof of the van. “Ouch! Shit. Sorry. Be right with you!” The person outside his van chuckles. “Take your time.”

Transiting Pluto conjunct your natal...

MOON

During this cycle, it's pretty normal to feel some pain or emotional turmoil with the people you care about or even authorities. If you want to heal, you might wanna try checking out some metaphysical or self-improvement courses, or even consider going to therapy. Just keep in mind that even if you're trying to stop some unwanted behaviors, you could still end up picking up some new ones that might be tough to get rid of later on.

Sometimes, family stuff might pop up during this time too, especially if there are some unresolved issues hanging around. But honestly, facing those things head-on can actually bring you closer to your loved ones and help you understand what's really driving everyone's actions.

It's important to know that you might feel a bit more vulnerable than usual during this time, but that's okay! You can work on finding some emotional balance and figure out what you really need right now. It's not always easy, but it's a good opportunity to get clear on your priorities.

If you're feeling pretty content with where you're at, think about getting rid of any unnecessary stuff and just focusing on what's really important to you. Oh, and if you've got a powerful subconscious, you might feel a connection to some collective energies, but even if everything's looking good on the planetary front, this cycle can be pretty intense.

Finally, if you're into magic, this transit could give you tones of energy to work with. Just be careful not to push yourself too hard!

SUN

So basically, the goal here is for you to tap into your own sense of power and realize just how capable you really are. It's important to trust in your own resources and your own sense of well-being, rather than relying on others to validate you.

This can be a really empowering time for you, and you may find that you have a strong impact on the world around you just by being yourself. You deserve respect, so you don't need to go around demanding it from others. When things get tough, you have the ability to persevere and come out even stronger.

That being said, this transit can bring with it some intense energy that needs to be channeled in a productive way. If you don't find an outlet for it, it can end up causing harm to yourself and others. You might feel a desire to exert control over everything around you, or experience a surge of sexual energy that needs to be expressed or transformed.

If you have good planetary alignments during this time, there are some great opportunities for spiritual growth and self-discovery. However, if the planets aren't playing nice, there is a risk of accidents or other negative outcomes.

So, the bottom line is that you have some serious power within you, and it's important to find healthy ways to channel it. Whether that means focusing on your spirituality, your sexuality, or just being true to yourself, this transit is all about discovering what you're truly capable of.

MERCURY

During this time, you might need to do some digging to get the info you need. The good news is, your analytical skills are on point, so it's a perfect time for some self-reflection and psychological studies. Just watch out for those negative or obsessive thoughts that can be a real buzzkill.

This period could shake up your whole perspective, especially if you usually rely on other people's opinions. It's important to think for yourself and do some deep thinking. While you might come across strong and assertive with your knowledge, try not to alienate others with your opinions.

You might find yourself making some big choices during this time, but your uncompromising views can help you stay focused on what really matters. This is a real learning curve, and your ideas and opinions about a ton of things could do a 180.

Communication is key during this time, and you gotta ask yourself why you're doing what you're doing. Are you helping others grow, or are you being selfish? Listen to those who really have your best interests at heart, they can teach you so much. For those who are just trying to force their opinions on you, take a step back and evaluate your ideas. Keep questioning yourself and your ideas, and you'll come out on top.

VENUS

This is a time where you might suddenly find yourself in a new and intense romantic relationship or just feeling a new sense of sexuality. It's also a great opportunity for you to take a deep dive into your most intimate relationships and learn how to transform any negative patterns into positive aspects that promote growth. Basically, you're learning about the process of love!

During this period, you might encounter circumstances or people who challenge your ideas. While you might feel the need to defend your positions, keep an open mind and you may come across information that has a significant impact on how you think. It can be a time that changes your entire perspective, especially if you trust the opinions of others. This break may require you to think for yourself and reflect on things more deeply.

This is an excellent time to dig below the surface and find answers. Superficial conversations might not interest you as much as more substantive exchanges. Pursuing things that allow you to connect more meaningfully with people, ideas, or yourself can have a long-term effect. You're a curious learner and not satisfied with what is obvious. Challenging the facts and asking tough questions helps you solve problems of all kinds. Don't be afraid to doubt what others take for granted!

MARS

You're in the mood to conquer any obstacle that comes your way, and right now is the perfect time to figure out what really drives you and ditch what doesn't. Your habit of reacting strongly to situations can actually work in your favor by helping you find an awesome path to follow. And while being around others can be fun, you might actually feel more fulfilled flying solo and becoming more self-sufficient. That way, you'll get a better understanding of what makes you tick.

Of course, you might face some challenges during this phase, like taking risks or dealing with disasters. But even these obstacles can give you a fresh sense of strength and a second wind to keep going. Your energy comes from the collective and from outside sources like the cosmos. And sometimes, you might have trouble connecting with others if someone close to you is in charge of a certain field.

Overall, this is a time of risk and potential setbacks, but you can use it to tap into your superhuman strength and tackle anything you set your mind to. Stay positive and focus on the good in life, even when things get tough.

JUPITER

When you're scared and feel like you're not sure what to do, just remember that focusing on one goal can still help you succeed. But don't get too obsessed with that goal, or you might end up with some major debt if you're not careful. So, try to take advantage of all the opportunities that come your way during this time. This will not only improve your chances of success but also help you understand what success means to you.

If you're feeling unfulfilled in certain areas of your life, don't worry. It could lead to some big changes and even some major fame and popularity if things go well. You might get to meet new people and gain more influence, plus make some good money. But be careful because there could also be some pushback from people in power, depending on what you're trying to achieve and how you're doing it.

Anyway, no matter what you're aiming for, this transit can give you a boost of optimism and hope, which is super important for success. Just keep believing in yourself, and you'll be more likely to reach your goals. This is especially true if you're looking for something more than just personal glory.

SATURN

This cycle is all about being efficient and letting go of things that no longer serve a constructive purpose. I know it can be tough to face the idea of letting go of dependencies, especially if they're familiar, but trust me - it's worth it! Holding onto things just because they're familiar can sometimes lead to trouble if they don't have real substance.

During this cycle, you might need to cut back on certain areas of your life to focus on the fundamentals, but that's an opportunity to refocus on what really matters. By doing so, you can become more grounded and secure, with a deeper understanding of what's truly meaningful in your life.

And here's the exciting part: this cycle can help strengthen you, even in the face of events that expose your flaws. So, if you face some challenges with authority figures, just remember that they might see your potential as a leader and ask you to take on greater responsibilities! This is your time to redefine your role and become more effective and powerful in your pursuits.

Now, I know that worst-case scenarios like severe tests, disasters, and even violent death can be scary to think about. But don't worry, those are just possibilities - it's not a guarantee! On the flip side, you might find that you have good self-control in extreme situations and the opportunity to rise to the top in your career or other areas of your life.

So, stay grounded and keep a positive outlook! Although there may be challenges and obstacles, this cycle can ultimately help you grow and become more resilient. Best of luck to you!

URANUS

This is an exciting time with lots of possibilities where you might feel restless and eager to break free from your usual routine. You're looking for new experiences and adventures, and it can be tough to stick to a regular schedule. Even though others around you might not get why you want to switch things up, it's important to follow your passions and stay true to yourself.

You might find yourself getting into new hobbies, interests, or even exploring metaphysical and mystical experiences. This is the perfect time to tap into your creative side and use your high energy levels to your advantage. Just be sure to take things slow and use your expertise to make sure you succeed.

The main goal of this cycle is to make positive changes and embrace your independence. Whatever you do now could set you on a path towards long-term fulfillment. Even if you're not typically a trailblazer, you might feel like shaking things up and doing things differently.

One thing to keep in mind is that this time could also bring unexpected events that have a big impact on you. It can be unsettling if you're used to things being predictable, but try to stay open to new opportunities and stay positive. Overall, this cycle is about embracing change and finding excitement in the unknown.

NEPTUNE

This is a time when you may feel like you're on a wild and crazy ride, questioning the deeper meaning of life like never before. You might experience unexpected changes, like the death of someone close to you or the end of something in your life. It could even be a near-death experience, either yours or someone else's, that makes you ponder the afterlife and other spiritual matters. You might even have some psychic experiences!

It's a confusing time, but don't worry, you can find ways to satisfy your thirst for greater meaning through creative and spiritual avenues. This might be the perfect opportunity to discover inner resources you never knew existed. Although this cycle might not show its effects right away, it can emphasize any existing confusion and make things even more obscure than before.

On the bright side, you can also deepen your sensitivity and become more aware of the subtle forces that can reshape your life. You might even feel a strong motivation to get rid of anything that's not working in your life. But be warned, you might feel like you have less control than usual, especially with things that are already undefined. So buckle up and enjoy the ride, because this cycle will take you places you never thought possible!

CHIRON

This is a period of deep healing and intense emotional pain. You might come across some challenges that you never thought you could handle - like old painful memories popping up because of current events or stuff that triggers you big time. But don't worry, you got this! Just be gentle and compassionate with yourself and lean on your loved ones for support.

This is your chance to heal past traumas that have been holding you back in life. You might experience the death or birth of someone close to your heart, and that can bring up a lot of feelings. If you need it, go for therapy, counseling, or try alternative healing methods to help you through this emotional time.

It's tough, but try to see this as an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. By diving deep into your emotions and trying out new ways to deal with your problems, you'll come out stronger and wiser. At the end of this period, you'll have a better understanding of yourself and your inner strength. You got this, siren!!

LILITH

This time might bring up some tricky issues related to control and power in your intimate relationships and sexuality. You might feel like you're stuck in some kind of constraints and have a strong urge to break free. It can be a chance to grow and transform in your sexuality, though it can be quite intense emotionally as you confront any unresolved issues.

Be aware that you might feel a strong desire for control, and you might even be tempted to dominate your partner to get your way. But that's not a healthy approach to long-term relationships, and it can even lead to breaking up. Instead, it's important to try and find a balance of power that allows for mutual respect and cooperation.

It can be challenging, but it can also be an opportunity for growth and healing. If you're willing to face your fears and make meaningful changes, you might come out of this transit with a greater sense of power and fulfillment in your intimate relationships and sexuality.

NORTH NODE

Right now, fate seems to be calling the shots in your life. You're standing at a crucial turning point, and big changes may be on the horizon. You might find yourself drawn to someone who feels like an old soul, someone you've known in a past life perhaps. Alternatively, you could cross paths with a group of people who become instrumental in shaping your future.

No matter what form it takes, this period marks a time of significant transformation. Your circumstances could shift in ways that help you get closer to your goals, opening up new doors and opportunities. Stay open to the possibilities and trust that the universe is guiding you towards where you're meant to be. Exciting things are in store!

SOUTH NODE

You might notice some old issues related to power and control popping up again. It can be tough to break free from old patterns that aren't serving you anymore, but it's important to let go of the past and move towards a brighter future. You got this! Even though it might feel challenging, this time can be an opportunity for growth and transformation if you're willing to face your fears and confront your shadow self. Don't hesitate to reach out for support from a therapist or other sources. With a little bit of work and self-reflection, you can let go of old baggage and find a path that feels truly authentic and fulfilling.

ASCENDANT (1ST HOUSE)

Get ready for an exciting time of personal growth and transformation! You have the chance to make some amazing changes in your life, and while some may be beyond your control, embracing them can lead to positive outcomes. Remember to stay focused on creative projects and steer clear of drama or negativity.

You may feel a strong drive to achieve your goals and nothing can stop you! However, it's important to keep a healthy balance and avoid obsessive behavior.

During this time, some partnerships may come to an end if they no longer serve you. Take the time to get to know new people before entering into partnerships, and aim for balance and mutual respect in any relationships.

It's true that this can be a challenging time, but it's also an incredible opportunity for growth and self-discovery. Keep a positive attitude, embrace change, and you'll come out of this period feeling stronger and more confident than ever before!

IMUM COELI (4TH HOUSE)

This transit may bring up some important issues related to your home and family life. You might experience intense emotions and a deep transformation in this area of your life. It's possible that you'll make a move or undergo a major renovation of your home during this time. You may also experience a shift in your relationships with family members, especially with your parents.

This can be a time of deep healing and growth, but it can also be challenging as you confront any unresolved issues from your past. Remember to take care of yourself and reach out for support as needed. Ultimately, this transit can help you create a stronger foundation for your life and move towards a more secure and stable future.

So, take heart, be patient and stay positive. Use this time to reflect on what really matters to you, and focus on building a happy and healthy home and family life.

DESCENDANT (7TH HOUSE)

So, during this transit, your relationships might be the main focus, and you might have some intense power struggles with your partner or other important people in your life. It can be tough, but it's also a chance for you to grow and transform your relationships in a positive way. It's natural to want to be in control, but remember that healthy relationships are all about mutual respect and working together. Try to avoid power struggles and find a balance of power that works for everyone. If you have any unresolved issues, it's important to face them head-on and work towards positive changes in your relationships. It's not always easy, but seeking support and being open to growth can help you build stronger and more fulfilling relationships in the long run.

MIDHEAVEN (10TH HOUSE)

Get ready for a major shakeup in your career and public image! During this transit, you may face some power struggles with authority figures or confront unresolved issues related to your professional goals.

By facing your fears and working towards meaningful change, you can move towards a more fulfilling career path.

You might need to let go of old patterns and approaches to achieve greater success and recognition in your field. But with hard work, determination, and a willingness to confront obstacles, you can achieve your goals and realize your true potential.

Helping Hands

A small idea I had recently.

Put in the tags or wherever if you guys want a part two. Got an idea for it but I need motivation =w=

Tw: swearing, blood, Anti’s “neck incident”, manipulation, obsessive and possessive behavior (yandere), possession (physical body)

Antisepticeye x Reader (gender neutral)

Set up: you’ve been good friends with Sean for quite a while. Hyping up his new YouTube career and suggesting games to feature on his channel. Things started to go south with his sudden declining health

~★~

You knew Sean had started experiencing occasional sharp dips in his health. Sudden migraines out of nowhere and pauses in recordings to handle nosebleeds.

It was concerning enough for sure, but he waved the idea of going to the hospital. It was never “serious” enough. What made you worry especially is when he admitted that he didn’t even mention any of this to his doctor. As if he was intentionally ignoring the problem.

You made it a habit to check on him regularly when this started ramping up. A rise in anxiety and paranoia. Random eye pain that kept him up at night. None of these symptoms were consistent with anything you could think of or researched. You couldn’t think of a reason why he was refusing to acknowledge these problems other than you when you pushed hard enough.

Everything changed on that one halloween night.

You didn’t know his plan for the Halloween video, but knew he was creative enough to pull out all the stops.

Then he shows up at your front door, drenched in blood from a wound in his neck.

You thought it was a prank, “Christ all mighty Sean- fine, you got me! Happy Halloween or whatever-”

He simply shook his head and slumped against the door frame with a wheeze.

Another dizzying adrenaline rush kicked in as you got a better look and realized it was a real wound.

“Oh my god.. Oh my god- What the fuck happened to you? Why didn’t you go to the hospital??”

He tried to respond, but could only manage to squeak out, “it’s not that bad.”

“Bullshit! Sean, this has gone WAY to far and you know it! Get into my car I’m driving you to the ER-“ he stops you from going to grab your keys.

“(Y/n) don’t, please- don’t make me go.” You barely made out what he says, and felt your heart drop at his expression. Watery-eyed and pleading, he staggered and fell against you. He needed help and if he wouldn’t let you take him to the hospital, then you felt determined to do it yourself.

“I- I don’t understand what’s going on with you. Sean, this is really scaring the shit out of me. What’s going on? How did this happen?” You let him lean most of his weight on you as you slowly guided him to the bathroom.

“I just… lost control…” he was slumping forward and you could still barely catch his words.

“Control? Control of what?”

Carefully you moved him to sit down on the toilet seat, guiding a towel in his hands to keep pressure on the wound. Then quickly setting off to dig through your cabinets and drawers. You knew you had a suture kit somewhere.

“Whatever..s been happening. I don’t know.”

You took a brief moment to look at his face with worry, finding him already staring at you. His eyes had a distant look. He didn’t look right. He didn’t look like Sean.

“Okay. Okay we can figure that out later. Let me fix you up.”

Your hands finally found enough materials to, at the very least, stop the bleeding. You sat next to him on the edge of the tub. Slightly lowered to get a better angle.

“Stay as still as you can, okay?”

Taking a deep breath, you forced your hands steady to begin the grotesque process of stitching his skin together.

It made you sick to see all this blood. You felt his skin was clammy and chilled when your fingers brushed against his neck, causing goosebumps to hit the both of you. You involuntarily gritted your teeth as you tried to be careful while also pushing the needle through his skin. It dawned on you after a moment that he didn’t flinch once during this process.

Your back ached after you tied off the last stitch.

The area needed to be cleaned which made you realize that his shirt had to be removed to properly disinfect the area.

“Sean- um. We need to get your shirt off to clean up the blood.” He simply hummed in response, looking like he was starting to pass out. You sighed and decided to just cut the damn thing off.

Trying to make quick work of sponging off the blood around the wound in order to get it wrapped up.

He was starting to pass out and was losing balance. All you could do was wrap him up in a towel and bring him immediately to the couch where you piled on blankets in hopes to bring his body temperature up.

This was bad.

You spent the next few hours watching him with anxious, jittery nerves. Intently listening to his breathing and praying to whatever would listen that it wouldn’t stop.

The adrenaline eventually wore off and you broke down into quiet sobs.

Would he die?

The thought echoed with increasing intensity. He could die. In your home, with his blood on your hands. Fighting with yourself that you didn’t have the will to push him to the hospital.

“Hey.”

Your head shot up at the hushed word.

“Oh god-“ you rushed to kneel next to him, “You’re awake!” Frantically looking for a source of time, finding that 7 agonizing hours had passed. He shifted under the layers.

“(Y/n)-“

“I’ve been so scared! Sean, I-“ you started to cry again, “I don’t want you to die.” Your head hit the couch. Hands clutching at the blankets draping off the side.

A weight on your head made you flinch, but you looked up and saw he managed to wrangle an arm out to rest his hand on your head.

“(Y/n), you’re doing such a good job.” You clutched at his hand. “I’m going to be fine,” he offered a lopsided grin.

Your exhausted emotional mind made you laugh. This was beyond insane and now he was comforting you.

Keeping a firm grasp on his hand, the single thing now keeping you grounded, your head hit the couch again. Tears still flowing from your eyes.

You crashed off the mania.

“I don’t know what made this happen,” you squeeze his hand, “but you know you can come to me, right? That you don’t have to hurt alone. So many people care about you- I care about you so fucking much…”

Your body finally gave out after hours of tense emotions. Hearing Sean’s raspy whispers repeatedly telling you, “Don’t worry (y/n), I will be fine. Everything’s going to be fine,” and feeling the comforting warmth of his hand. It relaxed you up to the point where you fully passed out.

~★~

Every detail had been scrutinized to the nth degree by this point. Employing a slow, creeping haze for the set up of a swift and easy takeover.

The concept was overall simple.

Possess a host with significant influence and consume all the energetic runoff.

Him, a parasite, existing within the world in between.

Him, a human who’s body was incredibly malleable and his mind was equally so.

An easy target.

However, the best things in life came from a slow build up. Plus this execution provided for a little more research and adjustment.

Once beginning the possession phase, some… things got in the way.

Every time Sean’s body would give in a bit to the pressure, you would arrive to comfort and care for him.

Even after waving off worries and essentially forcing his mind to ignore the decline in health all together, you still pressed.

Though your concern was, in a word, enticing. Your heart was laid bare to him with familial care. It was all too distracting when you appeared.

He didn’t understand how your presence had an impact, but he was getting addicted to it. To the point where his full influence was delayed multiple times.

The holidays fueled him with the power to finally take hold.

“Antisepticeye…”

What an odd title, but one he could work with.

Though, this body was far weaker than he initially thought. Leading to the little mishap that led him to your door. If it weren’t for the ache in his limbs, he might’ve jeopardized the entire process when seeing you from these fresh eyes. All his senses had been overwhelmed with the world that was new to his touch.

He anticipated your reaction and delighted when you followed his words instead of your own instinct.

Contact left static running in his veins.

Interesting.

And far too intoxicating.

As hard as it was to speak, your questions were easy to dodge. He did let one little line slip.

“I just…” a smirk twisting his lips, “lost control.”

You treated him with so much care. A treasured friend. It was certainly surprising to him that such a range of feelings were possible. Agonizing pain and tender comfort.

Though he was nearly entirely without function at this point, he internally reveled in the power and control.

Here you were, doting on his wounds with nil protest.

He watched with satisfaction. This precious being was practically at his mercy… If he had the energy to make any decisions about it.

He analyzed your movements and small changes in expression. He couldn’t wait to have more opportunities to study you closer.

Then your eyes caught his. A small twinge of worry aroused when your eyes told him that you weren’t just concerned. Noting the ever so small hint of caution. Slightly relieved that you displayed how easy it was to read you, he would divert that problematic behavior.

Doubt.

Chills echoed in his core at the soft touch of your fingers, much stronger than the first contact. He might be successful with mental gymnastics, but he was starting to lose the war at your simple touch.

Hyper aware of your nervous breathing and slow, concentrated movements, he completely forgot the minute detail of flinching at pain.

A curious feeling arose. Something hitting the core of his chest. Was it a reaction to your hands wiping away the blood from his neck? Or how you nearly swaddled him when he was placed on the couch?

Damn this weak body. He needed more time, but it was giving out fast. Hunkering down, he let himself fall unconscious to hasten the healing process.

~★~

The body roused after a sufficient amount of time. It was enough to surface, but not enough to actually attempt at anything productive.

What…

Wait, was that crying?

Prying his eyes open, he turned to the source of the sound and found you curled into yourself across from him.

That wasn’t what he wanted to wake to.

“Hey.”

Dammit he needed more energy than this. You rushed to his side, still bright eyed and frantic.

Annoyed at the fact he could hardly pull himself out from under the covers. Exhausting himself further just by freeing his arm.

It was your turn for comfort.

After all, you got him all cleaned up and stitched his wound.

How kind.

“(Y/n) you’re doing such a good job,” your small hand grasping at his made his heart skip a beat, “I’m going to be fine.” He couldn’t stop a smile from hitting his lips. The way those simple words broke you down. Adorable.

Letting you ramble and tire yourself out, he simply watched and listened to the tone of your voice.

He repeated himself again as you faded, catching himself rubbing small circles on your hand with his thumb.

He fell too hard and far too fast, but this might be a wonderful opportunity to test the human mind. How far were you willing to believe his words? How long would it take before you would discover his rouse?

He smiled wide that this.

This was going to be so much fun.

He brushed a hand over your frazzled hair.

So much fun.

Hello, hullo,

I have just recently got into Lee Junho (thanks to KTL) and 2PM. While I have a general idea I want to do a deep dive starting from their earliest survival shows to debut, to their concerts and variety. And I wanted to keep a journal of my journey.

I will also be honest about my thoughts and feelings.

I had known of 2PM and heard a few of their songs in passing (tho never listened to the full songs to be honest). I had stayed away from 2PM as I thought they were not for me, the stsge outfits, ripping of shirts on stage performances was off-putting - I was never a big fan of hypermasculinity (I had only seen a few scenes here and there at this point).

I was also not a big fan of kpop since the popular tracks I checked out back in the day was not to my liking. But I started to find songs that are more my taste later on, which were more 3rd/4th gen groups. Since I didn't have much fun on my earlier checks I didn't think of diving into older groups.

Oh but of course that changed.

One fine sunday on June I decided to check this new drama everyone was hyping about: King the Land. The 2nd episode had just aired and Ibsaw one of the leads was an actor on my radar: Lee Junho.

I kept hearing about Junho since 2021, all praises how hood of an idol-actor he is and so on. Whenever I see these kind of comments I note the names down to check later. I noted Junho's name down, I kept hearing how hoid he was and how great this historical drama Red Sleeve was. And on top of it he swept all the awards for TRS. Now I was curious, but not being a big fan of historical dramas I waited for his next project.

Yes I could have watched his earlier works but I wasnt feeling like it and had other hyperfixations going on.

So, KTL... I decided to check it out for a few episodes. Since I'm not a big romcom drama fan my prediction was to drop it in 4 to 6 eps in (because of the premise I was expecting a rich asshole abusing the FL in work environment with the drama romanticising it).

The moment I saw Junho acting I was gone, it didn't even take me a minute. Man's micro expressions are crazy. Instantly obsessed. So between KTL episodes I started watching his filmography, 'accidentally' expanding these watchs to his idol works. And 1.5 month later I have watched everthing (about to finish memory, which was the last on my list) have a general idea of 2PM, know their title songs, watched a few stages & squeezed in a concert. I have discovered I love their stages more than the recorded versions. They give so much energy, I wish I could watch them live, at least once...

A few of my favourites of them are: make it, hot, merry go round, Go crazy, I'm your man, adtoy, this is love, kimi ga ireba...

Now as the 15th anniversary concert is approaching I wanted to start my deep dive into 2PM. I have been gathering links to contents and putting them in a chronological order. 15 years is a long time and there are a lot of vids out there. I am scouring different youtube channels and putting the links on my excel - it feels like this is never ending but yay to hyeprfixations (I have over 4K links saved but it's still missing a lot).

As I start to watch everything in order, starting from 2006, I will also share my thoughts here. It will be a looooong journey but it will also be fun one as it lasts.

So, let's go!

Flashfic: Inukazane Meets Morghanna

Just a fun gift for Inukazane! Check out his twitch gaming channel sometime at https://www.twitch.tv/inukazane

================================================

Morghanna stalked her way through the clothing store, on the hunt for her latest prey. She had seen the shy little raptor ducking and weaving his way through the clothing racks, looking for a way to hide from the crazed Calico. She had gotten attached to the little rappie as soon as she saw him and tried to introduce herself. She had come on just a little strong, letting her obsession with making others bigger get the better of her.

She sniffed the air a little, trying to pick up his scent. She thought she could hear his claws on the tile for a second and spun in that direction, but he quickly hopped back into the carpeted area between the clothing racks and made a dash for the changing rooms.

Inu hopped up on top of the bench, gripping his striped scarf in his clawed hands as he took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down. The cat had been crazy, chasing him around like some kind of lunatic, babbling about “helping him grow”. He didn't WANT to grow, he loved being little and tried to tell her as much.

He felt a chill run down his spine as he heard her just outside of the changing room doors, sniffing and purring loudly.

“Where of where has my raptor gone, where oh where can he be?”

He stuffed his scarf into his maw to stifle a gasp as he squeezed as far back into the corner of the room as he could.

“Let's see.. Eeenie, meenie, minie…”

Suddenly the door to his changing room was thrown open, “MOE!”

He let out a squeak as the feline pulled some weird ray gun from her pocket, twisting a dial towards herself and taking aim.

“But I don't WANNA be big! I like being littler than others!”

Morghanna blinked at that, then took aim once more. However instead of pulling the trigger on the weapon, she pushed a hidden button with her thumb, causing it to “accidentally” backfire.

“Oh no!” she said in mock distress, “what have I done? It seems my growth ray has backfired!”

She leaned back against the door as her 4'10” form bumped up just a tiny bit to an even five feet. Then there was a soft creaking as she rapidly rose to six feet, then seven. She crouched down a little so she wouldn't bee seen above the changing room wall.

“You poor thing, trapped in here with me as I jus… oh… just keep getting BIGGER..”

Her rump swelled out a bit, stretching the cloth of her violet jumpsuit as her breasts inflated larger, straining the front zipper. It actually slid down a little, exposing her cleavage as she passed eight feet, nine feet, ten.

Inu's jaw dropped open, letting his scarf fall out. He realized that she had done this for him. She barely even knew him, but she had intentionally grown herself because he said he loved being so small. Fifteen feet, twenty, she dropped to her elbows and knees in front of the raptor, her pillowy breasts pinning him to the wall as he starts to hear the ominous cracking of splintering wood. Seconds later, the now thirty foot tall feline bursts from the flimsy wooden confines like a creature hatching from a weirdly square egg.

Rising back up onto all fours, she smiles down at the raptor before lowering herself a little, pinning him to the floor under those soft, growing boobs. “Hi there. Sorry if I got a little too excited earlier. I'm Morghanna, what's your name?”

Pride Month Character Sexuality Headcanon Moodboards 1. Yasmine - Lesbian 2. Demetri Alexopoulos - Gay 3. Moon - Bisexual 4. Eli "Hawk" Moskowitz - Bisexual

Welcome back, Cobra Kai pride month moodboard followers!!! This time let's hear it for Moon Nolastname, our one canon bisexual queen!!! She's so important to me fr <3 <3 <3 Granted, her dating a girl for 2 seconds was not NEARLY the epic sapphic romance she deserves, but I'm still so happy it's canon she likes women <3 <3 <3

I also still maintain that she has more chemistry with every female character she's ever interacted with onscreen (including that one random blonde girl in the pink dress who she danced with in the prom episode) than she ever had with Eli, eat your heart out bird boy akjsdnhukyghju

ANYWAYS I figure I don't need to back up why I think she's bi when it's been literally confirmed canon by Word of God (if you want to count that, anyways), so I'll use this bit to dive into why I'm a Lesbian Yasmine/Biseuxal Moon truther and why Moon being bisexual (and not a closet lesbian) actually makes perfect sense to me!

Throughout the show, she definitely shows enough general interest in boys to lead me to believe she doesn't exclusively like girls. She's lowkey flirty with a guy named Rory as early as 1x02 (the one she wants to do a flip for her insta channel!), and she seems to be the one to make the first move with Hawk in 1x09. In the soccer episode of Season 3, we see her having a friendly chat with a football player that could be seen as a little flirty. Compare this to Yasmine (who I think is a lesbian!), who doesn't really interact with any boys outside of Kyler in S1 and doesn't even really acknowledge Brucks, despite him following Kyler everywhere. In later seasons, Yasmine only really interacts with Demetri (and occasionally Eli) while Moon is shown to be amicable with Demetri, Miguel, minor male side characters like Rory, and enough boys and girls to throw an enormous house party in 5x08!

So admittedly I am one of the biggest h*wkm**n haters of all time. Catch me still in denial that they got back together in S4 because no they didn't <3 HOWEVER!!! From how, uh...spirited their first make-out session was in 1x09, I can buy that there is definitely physical attraction there, if little else. Whatever emotional connection they do have I think is shallow at best and actively based on falsehoods at worst--Moon only really likes Hawk's fake overconfident facade, and isn't shown to have much interest in him beyond surface-level things (I mean, for fuck's sake, she said she liked his biceps and his cool hair while dumping him, like!!!). Hawk, meanwhile, seems to kinda put Moon on a weird pedestal and seems more obsessed with the idea of her than Moon herself. In any case, you don't need to have a deep, profound attraction to all of your preferred gender(s) for your sexuality to be valid, so...even with pretty shallow feelings for Eli, Moon's bisexuality is still totally valid and should be respected <3

Mentioned before, but I do think her initiating with Eli in 1x09 shows some genuine attraction there! And commenting how hot he is in 1x10, too XD It's so impassioned and spur-of-the-moment that it doesn't feel rehearsed and inauthentic in the same way Yasmine's "attraction" to boys often does to me. Moon seems to definitely like muscular, athletic boys--and girls too, if Piper is anything to go by! We love a bisexual with an overlapping type XD

If y'all have spent any time on my page, I'm sure you've heard me rant about Moon's planet-sized crush on Yasmine XD I think a lot of her S1 behavior (and generally hanging out with a "mean girl" clique that seemed counterintuitive to like...how she works as a person) could be explained by her having a crush on Yasmine. She backs Yasmine up unconditionally, even when she feels conflicted about it (like with Sam in the weed-smoking scene in her car), which would make a lot of sense if she had/has feelings for Yas. No coincidence, imo, that she finally gathered up the courage to ditch Yasmine as soon as she found a new mean hottie to swoon over XD No real judgment here btw I was Just As Cringe in high school. We all were.

Also worth noting that she's the only character who acknowledges Yasmine's existence while she's out of town in S2--including Demetri, the guy who supposedly "would kill his friends to get Yasmine to spit in his face"! And it's not even in an explicitly negative context. It kind of sounds like Moon's giggling and kicking her feet about Yasmine having the same bikini as her XD

In later seasons, Moon taking Yasmine back despite Yas's lack of remorse and readily being her best friend again seems to hint that Yas means a lot to her--maybe in a way that goes beyond a simple platonic friendship? The full-body check-out and butt glance she does with Yas in S4 is probably the most damning thing I can give you. I mean.

LIKE. GIRL. WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT.

I could not wear shipping goggles here if I tried. I have watched this scene dozens of times, and Moon is so obviously checking her out that I thought I was going crazy. HOW did this make it into the show??? HOW did they show us THIS and then expect us to buy Moon is into her ex who she's mildly friendly with and who she doesn't even talk to until the girl she really likes is fully preoccupied???

Absolutely batshit.

We've also got Moon a) breaking into excited screaming when Yasmine shows up at the prom and b) completely ignoring Eli the entire prom to hang around Yasmine and Demetri and continually steal glances at Yasmine XD This girl is gone as fuck. Let her date Yasmine, dammit!!! Clearly Eli is not her first choice!!!

Even in S5 she's sitting way too damn close to Yas in that brunch booth and laughing at Yas's dumb little joke about torturing Anthony. She's still gone as fuck. Justice for Moon!!! Let her go out with her dream girl, dammit!!!

And Moon's attraction to girls isn't limited to Yasmine and Piper!!! There's the aforementioned girl in the pink dress she was dancing with at prom (this lovely lady)

AND!!! I would argue Moon even seems to be kind of into Sam, at times! She definitely seems guilty about booting her out of the friend group back in S1, and she's lowkey giving bedroom eyes when the two of them are talking about Robby in S2 XD She looks a bit smitten during the sensory deprivation pod scene as well, and seems pretty down to put her arm around Sam whenever she can :P

Bottom line is, Piper was in fact NOT a phase in the least and I will forever be annoyed that the show kind of implied she was by having them break up for enigmatic reasons (which the conservatives could EASILY spin as "well she didn't ACTUALLY like girls she was just CONFUSED and Piper the Evil Cobra Kai was feeding this poor innocent straight girl's delusion!!!") and then having Moon go back to the male and supposedly straight ex who she had long since outgrown and lost feelings for. Like sure, Moon found a new relationship she seemed happy in and free to be herself in (something she notably could NOT really do with Eli), but CLEARLY that could never have the same (or greater!) emotional weight for her than a brief fling she had with some dude based on literally nothing except physical attraction -_____-

Whew, that got longer than I thought it would XD ANYWAYS, bottom line is that even though Moon canonically swings both ways and is so incredibly valid and sexy for it, I personally think she should date more women. The one exception to this is Robby Keene because Moonkeene is literally the only mlw Moon ship in the show that actually works, and I can and will die on this hill.

Also ngl it would be SUPER funny to see S3 Eli throw a bitchfit because his ex is going out with the mf he hates most in the world and there ain't nothing he can do about it. Like what are you gonna do??? Yell at Moon like she's your fookin property??? That's why she dumped your sorry ass in the first place. Get rekt, bird boy.

Used soft pastels for this because that very much feels like it fits Moon's vibe to me! She's just so wholesome and easygoing--it definitely suits her <3 Very happy I found such appropriate crystal pics to use :D Also I CANNOT tell y'all how long I have had that crystal-and-strawberry smoothie bowl pic saved, looking for the perfect moodboard to use it for...AND BY GOD, I FOUND IT. Sometimes dreams really do come true, kids XD

...I also really want to try that irl now. Like what ARE those crystal things made of??? Are they crunchy??? Are they chewy??? Would they break my teeth??? Guess I'll never know now ;_____;

Now fully convinced that Moon has little shiny colored glass jars in her room with sprigs of lavender and other incense and aromatherapy flowers in them. Her room is a little apothecary full of healing aromas and I love that for her <3

Realized while making this that she's also very ocean-coded (YasMoon and MoonPiper are BOTH water x fire ships, bless). In the ATLA universe, she'd probably be a waterbender healer. Sam would probably be a waterbender too, but she'd be much more Katara-esque and jump to use it for violence XD

As always, pic credits available upon request!

Wellness: Through & Through | Part Six: The 5am Club 

I’ve spent the last decade online watching videos and reading blogs and articles all claiming that waking up at 5am is the key to changing your life, being productive, becoming to most successful person in the world, the list goes ON. 

As part of this experiment on my body that I’ve been undertaking here on Wellness: Through & Through, I really wanted to try out waking up at 5am and see what changes it had on my life and body. 

If you’re more of a video person, I’ve uploaded a video to my channel for you to watch here, but if you want to see a structured, written out approach, come with me through a journal style approach to waking up at 5am. 

Immediately when I first thought about getting into the 5am routine, I was filled with doubts at the possibility of me becoming a morning person. 

I had hated waking up early for 7am starts when I was in retail and hospitality, I could never imagine doing it WILLINGLY, let alone enjoying it. 

But was I in for the shock of my life - waking up at 5am has changed my life, and I will never go back. 

There are so many significant changes I’ve noticed in my daily routine that have been positive additions since starting my 5am routine and I hate to admit it, but all those articles were correct. It is life changing, you do become a better person. 

I want to start this from the outset saying that waking up at 5am is not going to be for everyone. But I think if the idea has crossed your mind ever, it’s worth giving it a go. 

The biggest change I’ve found in waking up at 5am is that when combined with early morning exercise, I am so much more productive throughout my entire day. It’s actually embarrassing to think about what I was doing before I was waking up at 5am. 

I was doing so much less, I was a lot more lethargic and I was procrastinating a huge amount throughout the day. 

I’m not in any way saying that waking up at 5am has fixed all my problems or cured my love of procrastination, but I am so much more focused and on point when I’m waking up and exercising before the sun has risen. 

I have noticed that when exercise is not factored into the morning routine, I am less productive so that should be noted, but it’s a huge thing that has changed for me. 

Combined in that little change, I’ve noticed I am far less lethargic throughout the afternoon, a fact that has really surprised me. 

Where I would normally go through a mid-afternoon slump, I am powering through my to-do lists, work or off time on the weekends. It’s like a magic trick. 

I’m not sure what the cause of this is, but I’m sure there is a scientist out there who has done a study on it. 

One thing I have enjoyed thoroughly about waking up at 5am, is the extra two hours I get to myself in the morning. Where I was rushing around, shoving my breakfast down my throat and burning my mouth on hot coffee, now I am relaxed, showered and able to eat my breakfast at a normal pace while reading a book. 

There is also a beautiful smell in the air early in the morning, that fades away as the day goes on. I can’t describe it, but I’m sure other people who are early risers can relate. It’s a fresh, crisp smell that hits your nose, and it almost is what I would imagine a fresh imagination to smell like. 

I think deep down it’s the knowledge that nothing bad has happened in the day yet, and there is so much opportunity yet to come, it’s the smell of a new beginning! 

A beautiful part of waking up so early is getting the opportunity to see the sunrise every single day. It’s getting later for me as daylight savings has ended in Melbourne and winter is setting in, but there is really nothing like watching the sunrise and the day begin, knowing you’ve already gotten through the first few hours. 

So, if you hadn’t already guessed, this is a tried and approved message to give the 5am club a go. I honestly am obsessed with waking up early now. I don’t know if it’s because I’m getting older and this is what happens, but it’s definitely something I wish I had done earlier. 

Two tips I have for anyone giving this a go: 

1. Preparation is key: make sure you’re getting enough sleep the night before, that you’re hydrated before bed and that you have your clothes ready to go for the following morning to motivate you to move from the comfortable pillow palace you’ve made yourself over night. It will be a rough first week/two weeks when you begin, but if you’re ready to go from the moment you open your eyes, it will make it so much easier. 

2. Have a consequence for not getting up - I always book a 6am pilates class to force me out of bed, otherwise I’ll cop a late cancellation or a no-show fee. Having something to do as soon as you get up is honestly the key to success with this, especially if you’re a lover of sleep like I am. 

Don’t put too much pressure on yourself if you’re giving this a go, it’s not the easiest thing in the world to conquer. The day won’t change if you get up at 5.30am or 5.45am, but I think it’s really worth giving it a go, even just to give yourself an extra few hours in the morning to do something you enjoy, like read a book, or catch up on a TV show. 

Let me know if you give this one a go, and how you enjoyed/hated it in the comments below! 

You can find me on all my other socials using the handle @kweenofthieves, but outside that, I’ll be back with you all next week! 

All my love, 

Gxx

Mercury enters Capricorn & Venus enters Scorpio (December 2023) [Info. and Affirmations]

Dec. 1st, as Mercury (rx) leaves Sagittarius for Capricorn, we switch from feeling adventurous and playful, more into focus towards long term goals. We’re more practical, organized, a grounded into physical realism, and less fun-loving jokester. Humour changes from silliness to a more subtle form; sarcasm.

We’re also less likely to get caught up in pretension or inconsistent behaviour. Philosophy changes from exploring a wide range of topics or options, to the precision of what’s most essential. We get to the point, knowing our ambitions are best conquered most efficiently this way.

Watch out for ourselves and others, as cold, harsh behaviour is experienced. Not particularly expressive, Capricorn can be cautious, and may even seem guarded. We should attempt to not have tunnel vision, and to not allow cold behaviours.

For those who do any sort of teaching and guiding as work, we will enjoy this stable and focused energy. It’s great for getting tasks and projects finished faster, and better than when Mercury was in Sagittarius.

How effectively are we communicating both within and without? We’ll have time to work with dependable Capricorn, and figure it out.

We’ll also have a bit of a break from that energy, as Mercury hops back to Sagittarius on the 23rd, then surfs back into Capricorn on Jan. 14th. Mercury gets out the protest signs for Aquarius on Feb. 5th, around the time He finishes His rx exit shadow.

~

Dec. 4th, Venus leaves one of it’s home signs, Libra the balancer, for mysterious, unpredictable Scorpio. Venus will be there until She meets up with Sagittarius on Dec. 29th.

Passions flare like white water rapids, as the superficial just isn’t appealing, and anything mediocre is viewed with disdain.

Intensely unforgettable romance often happens when Venus is in Scorpio. Scorpio is either all in, or has no interest. You will lose the trust or devotion of someone with Scorpio prominent if you don’t speak clearly about your thoughts and emotions. This is an energy where it can be difficult to trust others, even with no tangible evidence that lack of trust is warranted. Even while Scorpio can be secretive in order to avoid vulnerability, any vague energy from loved ones can be perceived as feeling that person could be hiding something that is important to know. Don’t shut others out, and work consciously to not get shut out.

We can’t help but to have some level of suspicion towards at least some loved ones, though particularly towards those we don’t know well. At the same time, we become engaged in deep, even darker art and activities. Even the profoundly disturbing can have quite the appeal.

Whether dealing with a romantic situation, or anything else, channel in some of that cautious, stable Capricorn energy, as not only Mercury, but Pluto (obsession, domination, mutation, transformation, enterprise, construction) is in Capricorn. The Sun also enters Capricorn on Dec. 21st, amping up the goats energy.

~

Dec. 3rd-6th, Venus in Scorpio square Pluto in Capricorn (exact first day) - affirm: If I feel socially manipulated and like I want to be rude, I know I have to conform to what others are doing for now. I compromise and work on obstacles, knowing I can express myself later.

Dec. 7th-14th, Mercury in Capricorn sextile Venus in Scorpio (exact on 12th) - affirm: To maintain the peace, I smooth over feelings for now, knowing that after this transit, something more serious can be discussed.

Dec. 10th-12th, Venus in Scorpio opposition Jupiter in Taurus (precisely exact on the 10th) - affirm: If I’m sure to be gracious and tolerant, I know I can expand my social life elegantly. I’m careful to not overindulge or show off, as I have a good time. I’m careful to not overspend, be pretentious, or count on more than I could get in business or a social situation.

Dec. 19th-23rd Venus in Scorpio opposition Uranus in Taurus (exact on 21st) - affirm: If I meet someone unusual and alluring, I know not to count on anything long-term. Though others may be crass, I’m determined to be agreeable and can attain interest. I avoid being emotionally unstable, knowing this can cause disaster.

Author's Note: Primary entry for the 4th

Summary: Shizuku observes Broadway paintings and posters in the theater

---------

“Ayanami-san?” Shizuku noticed her friend as she rounded the corner on her way to the dressing room to get ready for rehearsal with the rest of the corps de ballet.

The young blonde did not seem to notice Shizuku or Amagi approaching. This was not unexpected as Ayanami was well known for becoming lost in thought.

“Ayanami-chan?” Amagi reached out as she approached and touched the other girl’s shoulder.

“Amagi-san, Shizuku-san, greetings.” Ayanami drawled, her attention unwavering.

Shizuku and Amagi turned to see what had captivated their friend.

On the wall, a new painting had been hung. A lovely woman with vivid amber hair posed in a lacy white dress with a lavish, four post bed behind her. The picture looked a little like a promotional poster for a Broadway show, except it lacked a play title or credits or any text at all for that matter. Well, except a name near the bottom.

“Vivienne Segal.” Shizuku read aloud.

“Is she the artist or the model?” Amagi asked.

“I’m not sure.” Shizuku shook her head.

“Do you think someone like me could be in a Broadway performance?” Ayanami asked, still not taking her eyes off the painting.

“Of course!” Amagi replied immediately, to nobody’s surprise, as she was always supportive of the hopes and dreams of her friends.

Finally, Ayanami turned her eyes toward Shizuku, her gaze asking her question instead of her voice.

Shizuku smiled. “You’re the best dancer in the corps, and you seem to be doing will with your English lessons. There is certainly a chance.”

Ayanami gave a single nod in thanks before turning toward the dressing room door down the hall.

“A-Ayanami-chan, wait up!” Amagi called before giving chase.

Shizuku chuckled at her friends’ antics and followed.

---------

“Shizuko?”

Shizuku blinked back to reality and turned toward her girlfriend.

“Why were you ignoring Kasumin just now?” Kasumi pouted.

“Sorry.” Shizuku apologized and reached over to pat her girlfriend’s head.

“What was more important to Shizuko than her Kasumin?” Kasumi complained despite pushing into Shizuku’s hand. “’I Married An Angel’?” She read the words on the poster Shizuku had been observing.

“An old Broadway musical with a film adaptation several years later.” Shizuku explained.

“Did you see it?”

Shizuku shook her head. “It opened in 1938, after I died.”

Kasumi furrowed her brow. “So…”

“It just brings back memories.”

“… How could a play that came out in the States after Shizuko became a ghost bring back memories?”

“There was a painting, hanging near the corps de ballet dressing room, in the old theater, that a friend of mine was obsessed with.” Shizuku explained. “It was of a woman, Vivienne Segal, who we then only believed to be an actress on Broadway. She was a brunette, but the painting was of her with blonde hair, so perhaps she was wearing a wig or dyed it for a show. I don’t even know what show it was for; I’ve never even seen another similar painting since. But Ayanami-san would stare at the painting daily, dreaming about Broadway.”

“So why this poster now?”

“Vivienne played a part in this show.”

“Is that her?”

“No, that’s Vera Zorina, the lead actress, who played the character Angel.” Shizuku said. “As it turns out, Vera actually was an angel, but that’s a different story.”

“So… did this Ayanami get to go to Broadway?”

Shizuku shook her head.

“… Oh…” Kasumi murmured, suddenly wary of delving too deep into the topic of the old theater’s destruction.

“Would you like to meet her?”

“Eh?” Kasumi blinked.

“My guardians are still working on a way to get her to Broadway in hopes it will help her move on. In the meantime, she’s haunting this theater.”

“A-Alright…”

Shizuku took her girlfriend’s hand and lead her toward the boxes reserved for the resident phantoms of the theater.

Author's Note Continued: I'm hoping this stands well enough on its own for any new readers. However, those familiar with some of my entries for prior Promptober events may recognize a few things in this chapter. I'm still enjoying using Promptober as an excuse to explore the backgrounds of my Monster Theater AU characters.

I've no idea how much I will explore this new Ayanami character. I doubt she'll ever be a focal character, but I may use her as support or background stuff as needed. Maybe I'll even have Shizuku mention in passing in some chapter set after the main story that Ayanami was able to pass on successfully after doing whatever on Broadway. It all depends on where my µ's muse takes me.

Edit: Four days in a row that I managed to get all three year's worth of prompts in my primary entry for the event. The prompt for '21 was Amber, and '22 was Ghost,.

Horror Movies I Just Watched: Mar 2023

Another short list this month:

Planet Terror: If these aren’t the grossest zombies I have ever seen, they’re the grossest I’ve seen in a long while. 

Once again, the fictional end of the world is caused by the US military dabbling in something without any proper precaution. Didn’t really care for the running gag with the mad scientist being castration obsessed. Not sure if that’s bro-humor or homophobia. Bruce Willis’s cameo as technically the main villain was kinda funny. if only for how they enjoyed making it obvious how detached he was from the rest of the cast. And of course, Tarantino shows up just to die, but not before deserving every nasty bit of it. Really surreal they’re part of a stolen plot point from 28 Days Later of all things. If you’ve seen it, you probably know the one.

 The rest of the cast work well enough. Marley Shelton’s doctor remains likable even as she goes off the deep end and her eye shadow runs (wait, did I say even? I meant especially), while Josh Brolin seems to channel his Thanos performance ten years earlier and even creepier. And what happens to their kid; child death in horror movies can be a stand out moment whenever it shows up if not handled recklessly. This isn’t reckless, but it certainly seals the deal on what kind of movie this is with it’s dose of dark comedy.

I know Rose McGowan’s gun leg is THE image of the movie, but I’ve been used to seeing it even before watching the movie, I was more affected by everything else. 

I should’ve know just how bloody all this was really going to get the second Tom Savini showed up. Then again, with him here and Rodriguez directing, calling this movie From Dusk Til Dawn’s grimier dumber brother seems appropriate. That reminds me, I need to rewatch that in the near future.

Scream VI: *SPOILERS!*

I felt like the previous one took a few more risks than this one, but I actually enjoyed this one more.

A part of me DID watch to relish the New York setting here, but Ghostface was always the type to be in costume when he’s in your house rather then around any sort of landmark. He would’ve been caught almost immediately.

Yes, the opening is a great first for the franchise. In hindsight, paired with the reveal of our actual killers, it felt like a callback to Mrs. Loomis betraying Mickey back in Scream II. Personal revenge taking priority over insipid fame-seeking meta commentary. 

Speaking of our actual main killers, Is this the first one since III where the motives are actually personal? And the first since II it’s someone taking revenge for family? It helps that there being THREE of them and they’re family kinda gives it a Texas Chainsaw vibe for me. And pretty cool that the climax is a literal blood feud between two families. (Though I’m confused, are the Villains the Bailey’s or the Kirsh’s?) 

Although that ends up being part of what I mean about there being less risks. With three killers, that means even less victims that aren’t just essentially extras which was about half the deaths this time (The bodega people plus Gale’s new companion), so the only new person who was expendable ‘til then was Anika. As for the core four, they’re actually less expendable now then the previous four have been (Randy died in only his second appearance and Dewey...) . Chad couldn’t really die no matter how many stabs because he’s new final boy Himbo. It wouldn’t been way too mean to kill Mindy, the black queer member, especially right after killing her girlfriend right in front of her. We literally just got Kirby back. The internet might’ve explode if it was definitive this time. Sam’s the new main character, who also makes a more compelling case of sticking around this time, (and hoping Scream vii doesn’t spin it’s wheels on her). Tara might be the strongest case, especially with how Jenna Ortega’s fame is skyrocketing so she could get too busy for more of these. But yeah, combining that with her sub plot of pseudo self destruction might not have paired well. I almost felt Gale was saved in reshoots, people repeating she was in a coma. I get it, but man, she would’ve went out strong. 

I guess, pay disputes with Neve Campbell aside, maybe it is time for some legacy characters to step back for now. Just do something to have less characters with plot armor.

Okay, Let me end this section on a positive note. One of my favorite bits was actually in the opening. Tony Revolori’s character becoming a killer AND getting killed because he doesn’t understand Giallo films was rather amusing to me, but I guess only because I know enough about horror movies to at least know what a Giallo is. Up to that, can we just say that was the actual big intentional gag of this whole franchise, am I right? All the characters talk about scary movies and most of the villains are trying to create a real life scary movie. Though the movies they’re referencing and trying to copy are Slashers films, the plots of the Scream movies always felt like they had more in common with Giallos, like the ones made by Bava and Argento decades before slashers. Slashers don’t have human, vulnerable schemers all that often, but Giallo do. The invincible killer that gets away with everything until the next killing spree were around in 70s horror movies (Michael, Billy, Leatherface, etc.), but they didn’t start being considered cool until Jason showed up a movie late in 1981. The eighties. A decade where psychopathic straight men seem to run everything. But we’re not in the eighties anymore, and as much as we can learn from it, we also need to leave it behind. Even though too many people prove to not get the memo, the joke is still on them at the end. Six times now in this case.

It’s crazy how the first and second time Ghostface was actually cheer worthy are in this movie, at the very beginning and the very end (Unless III had some moments, it’s been a while). While the end is gratifying with Sam weaponizing her own horrific family legacy against those who’s chickens have come home to roost, a slight evolution on Richie’s fate from the previous movie. I’ll still remember this entitled, pretentious asswipe getting done in by someone actually trained and experienced in killing (either the cop father of one of the kids he’s trained) beating him at his own game before he even got started, with a pre mortem one liner that would seem contradictory, but fits in how when you’re on the receiving end of the knife “Who give a f--- about movies?!”

Inferno (1980) Speaking of NYC-set horror films and Argento. This is a loose sequel to the original Suspiria. While it’s been a long time since I saw that one, I think I liked it more then this one. Suzy came into the plot because of a personal pursuit then got curious about the weird and horrific events around her. Mark in this movie, cared the least about who the Mother of Shadows is, yet he’s the sole survivor. Was that commentary about leaving well enough alone on such things? Usually you don’t punish any characters for trying to be smart in a horror movie unless movie is made before 1960. 

At least the kills were up to snuff. Failed decapitation by window and getting chewed on by rats before getting stabbed by a possessed(?) food cart vendor were highlights. Really hated how the guy drowns some cats before doing it. What was even the point of that? Not like Tenebrarum had any pet cats.

Skeleton costume at the end was cute though. Not even going to bother with the third trilogy in this sorta Trilogy. I heard it was even worse.

I’m likely going to have a longer list of movies to talk about next month. Until then...
