" come to london with me. " @ camille from zee

you're standing in your bathroom. the lights are halogen, humming, buzzing. come to london with me. you repeat her words in your head while you stare at the mirror chips reflecting back from your eyes. you're so pale slathers of blush are the only thing that might animate such an ashen face. you close your eyes and listen to the road bump beneath her car -- imagine where she is, what she looks like, what she's looking at. amma's hands snaked around natalie keene's sweet little throat and click the viewfinder next click momma ladling sickly sweet syrup into your mouth click next you choking sprawled across the freezing ivory--

you're pressing the corner of the counter sharp into your arm like you're desperate to feel the prick. you feel sinking disappointment whenever it doesn't break skin. your eyes could bleed off your face, watering relentlessly. they burn. you swallow so hard you choke. you're such an ugly cryer.

" i think it's getting bad again. "

[lhyuhwa]

hello!! figured i should roll this out while i’m still awake but this is my girl nam yuhwa who just came back fresh from the philippines for real reasons that no one knows of (yet), would looove to get some plots rolling so keep reading and give this post a like and i’ll slide thru

oldest of the pious nams and by extension the older sister of @yuheelh​ by a year and then some, if u wanna know about the family history and how they prayed their way to the top read this

anything but! the filial daughter! hence that good ole black sheep status established 2019 and onwards wootwoot

growing up she’d been the more stubborn/opinionated/sharp/”difficult” child of the two anyways so this was bound to happen at some point in hindsight

wouldn’t say she’s on a moral high horse and doesn’t try to be (because what charity or acts of good will has she done! absolutely none!), but there’s always been something inherently strange about how their parents have always been hellbent on using religion to justify some really bizarre takes/mindsets/behaviors behind closed doors. pretty much an environment where it felt like you were walking on egg shells all the time

add to that the general underlying misogyny and everything uncomfortable that comes with church culture and generally conservative families which can really fuck with your outlook

that being said it’s not a surprise either when they didn’t tolerate her questioning how they ran their household and their devoutness and that ultimately strained their relationship permanently from thereon forth...most def has strayed away from her sister as well

would be sooo nice to say that she’s thick skinned enough to just be like idgaf but the reality is is that kind of rejection and blatant manipulation/gaslighting hurts when it comes from your own parents shitty as they may be so she deals with it her own way by tw: drug abuse self medicating because god knows these people probably don’t believe in proper therapy 

gets busted at the end of her 2nd year of college (thanks sis) and they send her abroad for rehab and thus she lost a year of schooling...technically she’s supposed to be a senior only she’s stuck in her 3rd year instead lol

parents said that she was off on some mission trip instead and she hasn’t bothered to dispute or confirm that big fat lie so take that as you will 

most definitely not living in the family home but in an apartment of her own, only it’s constantly checked in on by her mother with a roommate she most definitely did not pick out by herself but is forced to go down there once a week for dinner and attend church with them 

somehow still spiritual/believes wholeheartedly in god in spite of her parents being the way they are but hey whatever makes u tick right

just wants to graduate and chain smoke like a bitter loner in peace bc she’s tired and resentful of everyone and everything

idk had a bit of camille preaker in mind in terms of ~vibe but maybe not as emotionally vulnerable if that makes sense

some plots

roommate: you’re the goody two shoes scholarship student under the nam family’s foundation and as part of the stipend you get to live in a nice apartment with their druggie older daughter that they need to surveil (: 

childhood friends: general circle of religiously inclined family friends, only it’s very likely that yuhwa’s become incredibly distant over the years 

exes/almosts: the usual slow burn stuff from way back when as appropriate 

people who insist on tagging along with whatever she does for some odd reason

just for fun a thread based off this titktok because its funny 

anything that would work best for our charas! lets brainstorm

[thrillerchic-blog]

collablr intro.

hello, @collablr, i’m kumi, and this is my blog aka where all my Yelling goes, probably, because my writeblr deserves better than this. i’m twenty years old and i write a lot of horror, sci-fi, and miserable stuff about labor and loneliness. my favorite character type has been unanimously voted (by like, two votes) to be “people who self-destruct thanks to their trauma on the path to redemption”. i write a lot of longer threads, i do not like icons, and i write a mix of ocs and canon characters!

a quick rundown of some common characters you’ll probably see on this blog:

the crew of one of my two main wips, final stop. a bunch of twenty-somethings traumatized by their horror movie backstories, and struggling to handle it and the fact that their deaths might be coming down the line.

m.t., a guy who’s pretty normal except for the fact that long term exposure to liminal stuff has made him resistant to it, so now he just yells at the spooky gas station

bea pearson, courier (not the fo:nv kind), depressed, trying her best.

diana tanaka, lawyer, fae dealbreaker, stronger than she looks, can kill you.

some canon characters you’ll see: elliot alderson, john wick, maybe luke skywalker if anyone’s prepared for my hot takes, and i might be trying my hand at camille preaker and marya morevna.

i’m very excited to write with everyone, and i swear that if you give me any character of mine, there’s a non-zero chance i can find a way to throw one of my Gremlin Children at them!

[godblooded]

she knocks you on your ass so hard with nothing but a glance and you’re always left flat, winded as a ride down the hot driveway beneath the carriage overhang that shades your world. you smile the way your cheek dimples, a little dent you sometimes imagine momma unkindly digging a nail into the same way you feel the dead center of your back buzz, barren. you flush too pink under the collar-- the sun beats down and you’re barely a fraction of @conqveror​, can’t imagine how you could both be the same species. -- so for once, you duck your head and you don’t rebut sharp. you choose, instead, to lean toward kindness.

“ i think it’s somethin’ you’ve kind of inspired in me. you gotta have somethin’ to love to know how to love-- somethin’ you know? ”

you sound like a regular fucking wind gapian.

Hit the heart if you’re interested in interacting with Camille Preaker.

Interaction Notes:

Near constant or frequent themes include alcoholism, self harm, and mental illness. Threads that take place after the events of the book won’t be as heavy in these aspects, but may still mention it in passing. Being a reporter, location is less important, and can be plotted accordingly.

@ccmplicatedweb​

“ didn ‘ t think i ‘d ever end up in this shithole again. “

camille almost winces at the cliche as soon as it comes out of her mouth. WRONG throbs from dead center on her chest , an ache so raw sometimes she thinks a fresh wound is easier than the slices and lines adora can see and not see. the bar ‘ s buzzing with the ugly sizzle of neon swimming just underneath the drunken warble crooning ring of fire unsteadily. bars are the best places to get people to talk. the atmosphere loosens up the tightest mouth. how , in some places , she just doesn ‘ t know , when she ‘ s shit - sure that the bourbon she ‘ s nursing lovingly is more water than the bottle of vitawater that is filled with vodka sitting in her cup holder. her head swivels aside to keep a glance at nat , but it ‘ s really john keene she keeps in her periphery. the off - color love is a burning thing rasps. the man ‘ singing ‘ , if you can call it that , looks exactly like you think he would -- almost slobbering heineken and closer to the microphone than camille would deem sanitary. not a word anybody understands in a place like this. the ridiculous dance floor in the middle of the place doubles as a stage. john keene ‘ s expression is distant. the look in his eyes says that if feet were supposed to be on the ground his are still planted in natalie ‘ s bedroom. ( it ‘ s a look you wear when you know what it ‘ s like to see a ghost. it never leaves your face. ) 

there are eleven bars in wind gap. there ‘ s not exactly tons to do. each has its own theme -- hog - slaughterers screaming at a staticky sports game , hog - slaughterers planted so long on their asses for the night the prints are left long after , hog - slaughterers , evidently , taking turns howling from the beer - soaked centerpiece that ‘ s an eyesore in a place like this. john keene holds the neck of his beer for dear life. it ‘ s the only thing keeping him on the face of the earth. 

adora ‘ s face is still haunting her. camille ‘ s voice thickens with the molasses syllables of her old accent making itself new. chicago ‘ s never changed her voice. wind gap takes her back unquestioningly. 

" momma sends her regards. “ 

no she doesn ‘ t. nat already knows that much. she assumes , pretty fairly , that the two are going to get on like a house on fire -- something immolating itself and falling apart at the foundation. just like old times. the cool burn of bourbon slides down her throat. she circles the glass ‘ s dirty rim with the tip of a finger. the bottles glint behind the bar , put up against a tacky mirror covered in fingerprints. it looks like a crime scene. the bartender grins at her when she catches his eye and camille busies her mouth with another swallow , leaves behind a mona lisa smile that could or couldn ‘ t be one. the notepad beside her hand is flipped open and damp with the sickly amber slosh of an errant beer. the music flips from johnny cash to carole king. amma sounds like adora. camille hangs up on the subject of her kid sister. her middle name is adora ? it won ‘ t stop bugging her.  it ‘ s the stupid jealousy of a child -- it abates underneath another mouthful of ‘ liquor ‘. the mirror and her glass are both littered with smudges. they ‘ re clear when the last swallow of bourbon gives way to the soapy aftertaste left behind from a dish rag. she ‘ s out. 

camille orders another bourbon. this time it ‘ s a double.

@rejectory has requested the fucked up journalist. 

your own house growing up (it wasn’t ever a home, was it? people had to make it feel that way) wasn’t even as big as this. but the vergers are old meat and so are you, after all, or so was the crellin family (sometimes, even for how your heart aches whenever you look at amma, you’re glad you’re a preaker, even though that’s not much different). you might’ve been raised that way, but you’re certain you don’t have anything left of that you. might’ve existed for a brief second, maybe in the days of cheer, but it never stuck with you long.

(you don’t think parts of adora you hate her you hate her, mama are too clear in you, but damned if you’re not fuckin’ terrified of them. sometimes your hands are soft and you remember tucking amma in and then you remember your skin singing like it used to, the way you hadn’t wanted it to anymore, the way you thought you’d gotten rid of. the word blood throbs just once somewhere on your chest.)

it smells like lilacs here, and that’s not surprising to you. you grew up around stockyards, and while you figure it might always smell like death, it doesn’t. goes to show, sometimes, there are good things even amidst the trash.

the great part about big places like this is i’m sorry, i got lost is your back-pocket excuse. the smell of horses, however? that’s inescapable. the stable’s the ornate kind of thing you think adora would swoon over and then remark backhandedly about over mimosas unreasonably early in the morning. 

you are looking for margot verger-- or her brother mason, but you’re really less curious about him. you needed a big assignment, and this is enough of one. it took you hours to convince curry into it.

you’re not really sure where the front door is, but you are sure it’s somewhere, so what does a little looking around hurt?

[godblooded]

@bestvictim has requested the fucked up journalist. 

there’s something wrong about it. you know that. your camera’s in your hands, and eventually you’ll slide it back into the cheap purse you really could’ve stood to not even buy. it’s ugly, but it’s doing what it has to. it’s probably just a chunk of cow-hide (ugh, cow-hide. you sound like a shit-kicker, preaker) in the shape of a pocket. you’d been trying to get a shot for an article to throw on curry’s desk-- you’re not even actually fucking trying, honestly. you don’t have all of it in you anymore. or you’re getting it back. you don’t know.

it lands on your hair first. you didn’t ask for it, so immediately: “shit.”

the ocean behind you makes a sound like hot breath exhaled too close to a sweaty cheek. it’s snow. it’s fucking snow. you laugh a little bit because of course this would happen to you.

“of course this is just my luck,” one more time; you’re seven blocks up parked illegally in a bank lot, “shit.”
