COME GET ME IN MY HILL FORT

I LOVE CURTA'N WALLLLLLLL

ME AND THEIR ENTIRE DISCOGRAPHY IF YOU WANNA KNOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wake-me-up-inside-imagines]

Note to self: Do more research on the type of job your ocs work before you give them a whole elaborate story. And if you don't do that, for your sake, don't ever research the job. I'm learning the hard way and it's gonna make me bash my head into a wall.

[wake-me-up-inside-imagines]

ITS CHAPTER DAYYYYYY~ (I have a feeling this one will be good)

Tis out! I hope you guys enjoy it, things are finally getting more exciting!

[wake-me-up-inside-imagines]

*skips over* HI. HOW ARE YOU? HOW ARE THEM BOYS DOING? MISS YOU! *skips away*

HI I'M DOING GOOD HOW ARE YOU?! The boys are all right, I've been working on the new chapter but it's been really frustrating this time around. Dw though, I'm almost done!

I've also had less time to write because my job ended and college started up again recently, but I'm hoping to start getting into a good writing routine now that I have more stability in my life.

Thanks for your patience!

[wake-me-up-inside-imagines]

Hey, I just wanted to hop on here an let y'all know that I'm working on the next MM chapter and hope to have it out soon, but I can't promise anything.

This chapter has been extremely frustrating for me to write. It takes me an hour to write a single paragraph well enough to my standards. I have no idea if it's flowing the way I want it to, or if it makes any sense at all. I can't figure out how to phrase things and it's driving me up a wall.

I hope I'm overthinking it and it actually reads fine, but for now, it's been slow going. Sorry for the delay!

GUYS I DON’T HAVE THE ANATOMY FOR A INDUSTRIAL PIERCING IM SO SAD

It’s ok though I got my stomach stabbed instead so it’s all cool.

[wake-me-up-inside-imagines]

Yo, question for the Yandere fans (especially the ones who read Yandere alphabets):

When reading Yandere alphabets or headcannons in general, do you prefer when the author uses pronouns directly inserting the reader into the darling role (you, your, you’re), or do you prefer when author’s simply refer to the darling as “their darling”?

I’m trying to figure out which one sounds the nicest for an upcoming Yandere alphabet I’m gonna be posting, and I genuinely can’t decide between the two.

Here are examples of what I’m talking about in case you’re confused:

“This yandere treats you very well, so long as you promise to love him forever.”

Or

“This yandere treats their darling very well, as long as they promise to love him forever.”

Cheesy example, but what do you think?

[wake-me-up-inside-imagines]

doing a little reread today and noticed charlie called micha the “family head” . does that make Micha the pack alpha or was charlie just being sarcastic ?

love your work btw !

Thank you! As to the question, kind of? It’s a yes/no/yes/no thing.

The pack never assigned roles to anyone and none of them actually consider any specific person as the head of the pack, so Charlie and Micah are both considered the alphas of the pack. However, if you're in the outside looking in, Micah does tend to be the one keeping everything under control due to how calm and reliable he is, so in a way people would probably assume he was the real head.

Having said that, Charlie was being purely sarcastic in the last chapter. He doesn’t think anyone in the pack is above the other, he was just trying to exaggerate his words to make Micah understand how possessive he was being.

[wake-me-up-inside-imagines]

What are everybody’s nicknames for everybody? Cause I’m LIVING for Charlie’s cute little space theme

Ooh I’ve been dying to share this!!

Starting with Charlie: His thing is obviously space, so all of his unique nicknames are space themed! They’re also unique to each person based on how Charlie sees them!

Leo shares a name with a constellation, so Charlie calls him starlight! He also likes stars a lot, so it works for that purpose too.

Ren has a very gentle presence, but it still manages to light up any room he’s in. For that reason, Charlie calls him moonbeam.

Rain reminds Charlie of a shooting star because he’s always bouncing around all over the place, so Charlie calls him comet.

Micah is the pack mate that keeps everything running as smoothly as possible, so Charlie calls him sunlight! He doesn’t use this nickname super often because he feels kinda weird using a cutest nickname on such a big alpha, but Micah loves it and wishes Charlie would call him that more often.

As for Rachel, he calls her moonbug! She’s little and came from his moon, so it worked well in his opinion. Little moon works just as well for the same reasons.

Other than that, he uses pretty standard nicknames for his pack. Babe, baby, and my love are his go tos.

Moving on to Rain: like Charlie, he also has unique names for his pack mates! His thing is bugs, so he picked each person’s nickname after whatever bug he associates with them. Leo is dragonfly, Micah is firefly, Ren is beetle, Charlie is cricket, and Rachel is bumblebee! He doesn’t have any specific reason for assigning these bugs to his pack mates, he just went off of vibes (the exceptions to this are Charlie and Rachel; Charlie is cricket because he’s loud and Rachel is bumblebee because babies look kinda chunky sometimes).

Rain also calls Leo and Ren bug a lot, but besides that he jumps from normal pet name to normal pet name. His go-to’s are sweet boy/thing, pretty boy/thing, sweetheart, babe, baby, and if he wants to gross his mates out, pumpkin or cutie-pie. He also calls Micah ‘hot stuff’ sometimes to annoy him.

(Also in relation to Rain: the whole pack uses Raindrop for him.)

Ren doesn’t have many nicknames for his pack, and the ones he does use are all pretty standard. He calls his mates stuff like sweetheart, love, babe, and baby. For Rachel, he calls her baby girl, sweet girl, little one, and baby.

Micah typically uses babe, baby, sweetheart, and my love in all of his mates, although he has special ones reserved for each mate too. He calls Charlie sunshine, Ren is dove, Rain is angel, and Leo is sweet boy. They’re pretty standard nicknames for the most part, but he only ever uses each one on their assigned mate. He likes to call Rachel little lady, baby, baby girl, and sweet girl.

Leo doesn’t particularly like using nicknames on his mates because they feel awkward coming out, so he generally just sticks to babe and baby. He’ll use something sweeter if he feels the moment calls for it, but on a normal basis he has a strange aversion to sappy nicknames. He'd rather just use his mates' names, they have them for a reason, don't they?

He will however call Charlie, Rain, and sometimes Micah things like ‘nerd’ and ‘loser’ as his own weird way of affection if the mood is light enough for it (he doesn’t do it for Ren because he’s scared the omega will think he’s actually insulting him). He has a ton of nicknames for Rachel though. He calls her baby, baby girl, sweet girl, sweet pea, little dude, and tiny.

The pack in general tends to use their actual names a lot due to how confusing pet names can get in a group, but they do tend to come out when two individuals are having one on one time. Hopefully you’ll see more of the cutesy names in the future!

Hello hello!! ive just got random lowkey mundane Charlie questions (bc i love him sm and that makes me wanna know everything, including the “boring” stuff-) anyway!! i think you said once that charlie would take some things from readers previous room? What other things would be in their new room? would he replace some stuff?

again, sorry for the boring question, uhh heres a more interest seperate one if youd prefer!! how would he react to a darling who, at first, just cries literally all day? and once they stop that and explore the house a tiny bit more, they get SUPER clingy whenever he’s home while just hiding in their room if he’s not?

Dude, don’t worry about asking “mundane” questions! I love answering any of them, no matter what they are! And Im gonna answer both your questions, one with a normal answer, and one with a headcanon thing. I’ll do the normal question first and then the headcanon!

Charlie would actually take most of your stuff from your old room! The only things he really replaces are pieces of furniture that would be harder to pack up and move. Things like the bed frame, mattress, dresser, bookshelf, and anything else along those lines are getting left behind. It’s too much hassle to move, and besides, he can find you much nicer pieces to decorate your room with!

Other than that, everything else goes with you. Decorations (posters, wall stuff, that kind of thing), blankets, books, stuffed animals, trinkets, anything else that could be important to you is gonna go in your room. He wants it to still feel like you after all, and he knows having familiar stuff nearby will help to keep you calm. He might try and decorate the room similar to how you had it before, but he also might leave it for you to mess with in case you have your own vision. It really depends on how much stuff you have.

Anyways, now on to the headcanons!

Yandere! Mafia Boss Charlie With A Clingy! Darling Who Hides When He’s Gone

Gn! Reader

Warnings: Stockholm syndrome, anxiety, kidnapping, referenced stalking, emotional manipulation (it's kinda accidental), referenced murder, yandere character, kind of isolation

Divider credit goes to: @bernardsbendystraws

-Yandere! Charlie is quite the delusional man. He fully believes that what he’s doing is justified, whisking you away from your entire life in favor of staying with him forever. He has no doubt you’ll fall in love with him as soon as you get comfortable in your new environment, revering him as your beloved husband for all eternity. There’s no other possibility in his mind, it’s the only reality that could possibly come to fruition. 

-Having said that, he isn’t stupid. He wouldn’t be as powerful as he is if he was. He knows you’ll most likely have a bad reaction to being kidnapped. Anyone would, unless there was something seriously wrong with them. So Charlie expects you’ll lash out in some way or another upon your arrival “home”, in one form or another. You may fight back, you may beg to be let free, you may scream and cry and destroy everything around you for all he knows. He’s prepared for it all, staying strong in his resolution that you’ll eventually come around to him. 

-As a result, Charlie would be unfazed by the river of tears you shed upon waking up in your new home. He hates to see you cry of course, he’s not a monster after all, but hey, at least you aren’t taking a more violent approach to the whole thing, right? A few tears won’t kill either of you, no matter how crushed his heart feels. 

-Still, he longs to comfort you, to hold you in his arms and whisper sweet reassurances in your ear. He might even try, but the paralyzing fear that hits you every time he enters the room scares him away. He doesn’t want this for you! He wants you to be happy, to feel safe in his presence. That’s half the reason he took you after all, to keep you safe! Why can’t you see that? What can’t you understand?

-Deep down, Charlie knows he can’t rush you. So he does his best to swallow his sadness, letting you cry your feelings out for as long as you need. It’ll be better once you calm down. You just need time. That’s the key, after all. Time.

-Don’t be mistaken though; Charlie won’t leave you alone completely during this stage of your “re-homing”. He’s still lurking, keeping a close eye on you whenever he can. He won’t approach you anymore, he’s still waiting on you to give him the go-ahead, but he can’t bear to sit by and do nothing while you’re so upset! 

-While you’re locked up in your new room, Charlie will leave you little trinkets he thinks you’ll like to show his affection. Little snacks you love soon follow (separate from the three meals a day he leaves at your door), and soon after that, beautiful bouquets of flowers. He might even leave you a note or two, brief, awkward reassurances of devotion printed out on the pages. He’s terrible with words, but hey, his effort has to count for something, right?

-During this stage, Charlie will sometimes sit outside your door, listening to you cry. He hates the guilt that swamps his heart, but even your cries of despair don’t change his mind. He did what was right, he was sure of it. It might have been selfish, it might have been cruel, but he knows this is the best for himself everyone, you included. He just wishes he could take the pain away from you, to make you see how safe you truly are. 

-When you start exploring the house, Charlie keeps his eye on you at all times. He tries to make himself as non-threatening as possible, not making any noise as you creep around the house in fear of scaring you back into your room. He can feel the hope in his chest surging though, a decent chunk of smugness following close behind when he sees the lack of tears in your eyes. See? He knew you’d get used to everything eventually, he knew it! Sure, you still seem scared, but you aren’t crying anymore, and you even mustered up the courage to leave your room for the first time! You were finally realizing that you weren’t in danger, that he wasn’t a danger! You were one step closer to accepting him as your spouse, a massive step, if he had to judge. 

-And then the clinginess comes, hitting so hard he almost gets whiplash.

-He’s genuinely so confused when you begin to cling onto him almost as soon as you start exploring the house. You were just bawling your eyes out a couple days ago, what happened? Where did your fear go? The utter terror that had plagued you since you got there? It was like it had evaporated into thin air, disappearing within seconds of your emergence. What was going on? 

-He has no idea how to react, but he’s not complaining. He’s stoked, actually. He’s not sure if it’s the lack of human contact you’ve had for the past couple weeks or what, but no matter the cause, he won’t question it. He just can’t believe this is finally happening, exactly as he thought it would!

-Charlie has no problem letting you cling to him, keeping himself as close to you as possible every second of the day. He uses the opportunity to ask you more about yourself, what you enjoy, what your life has been like, little conversational questions that might make you feel more at home. Of course, he already knows the answers to all of these questions, he hadn’t  been dozing off while he watched you after all, but he’ll gladly listen to you talk about yourself if it means you’ll feel more comfortable with him. Besides, he likes hearing your voice. It’s a nice change.

-The days go by, Charlie basking in the glory of your newfound affection. He spends every waking moment cuddling and talking with you, exacting to finally have you as his. He takes your clinginess as a sign that you’ve fully accepted him and your new home, throwing the old one behind you for good. He doesn’t anticipate anything going wrong now, not when you seem to be so content with him.

-However, when Charlie goes back to work for the first time since you’ve left your room, he’s quick to notice how hesitant you are to let him leave. He reassures you that he’ll be fine, that you’ll be fine, and that he’ll return later that day, but he can still see the anxiety on your face. He doesn’t think too much of it at first, chalking it up to regular old nerves, so he leaves you behind with one last kiss before he’s out of sight. 

-It isn’t until a couple days later that he realizes something more is going on. He’s been checking the cameras for the house, but you aren’t showing up. You’ve been holing yourself up in your room every time he leaves, only emerging once he gets back. Why is that?

-Charlie leaves it be for a while, certain you’ll eventually be more confident once you get used to his schedule, but you never do. He never sees you leave the room, not even for a second. Now he’s got another thing to worry about: What else is going on with you?

-Thankfully, he doesn’t have to pry too hard to find out, because you answer him honestly as soon as he asks about it. You tell him you’re afraid he’ll leave you behind one day, growing bored of the boring civilian he’s kept around for some time. You’re worried he’ll fall out of love with you, or meet someone new, and throw you to the side, or worse, kill you. You don’t want that, you’re deathly afraid of it in fact, and the fear keeps you from daring to step foot in the house. You only emerge once you’re certain Charlie’s returned for you, determined to keep him in your sight until he next leaves. 

-This information stirs up conflicting feelings in Charlie: On one hand, he knows he’d never fall out of love with you, and it’s ridiculous to even imagine. You’re his spouse after all, the darling he’s chosen to be by for life! How could you possibly believe he’d ever leave you? Has he not done a good enough job at reminding you how much he loves you?

-But on the other hand…

-You are completely dependent on him now. Totally, undeniably his, in body and soul. You wouldn’t dare to leave him when you’re this attached to him, not that you’d be able to in the first place. You rely on him to meet your needs, as you should. Your fear keeps you with him, keeps you devoted to him, and is that really such a bad thing? To be as devoted to him as he is to you? You can leave with that, can’t you?

-Charlie will do his best to reassure you of his love and devotion, curling up with you in bed while you snuggle as close as possible, but he can't help the grin that begins to spread over his face. He finally has you right where he wants you. You're under his spell, accepting him and your new home with open arms. He never has to worry about where you stand with him ever again. Not as long as you're hopelessly in love with him.

-Don't worry, he'll help you get over your fear. He'll continue to prove how beloved you are, until well after the last doubt has been banished from your mind. You'll never have to worry about him leaving you, just like he never has to worry about you leaving him. Your soul-bound, never to part from each other as long as you both live. You've proven your loyalty to Charlie, and he'll make sure there's no room to question his own devotion towards you. 

-His perfect spouse, sliding perfectly into the role he created for you. You'll feel more comfortable soon enough, it's only a matter of time. And even if it isn't, who cares?

You have your whole lives to spend together, after all.

I hope you enjoyed!

Of the mates who kills the spiders and who yells for their mate to kill the spiders? (sincerely a grown woman who just cried for her gf to kill a spider)

Lol that's so real, I hope your girlfriend managed to get it!

Ren 100% yells for the others to kill the spider. He normally doesn't mind bugs much, but seeing them crawl around his home freaks him out. What if it gets on their bed? what if there's more in the apartment? What if it crawls on him? He's gonna stay curled in a corner until the spider is gone.

Charlie tries to kill the spider, but fails almost every time. He's the kind of dude to do the weird, defensive lunging thing with a shoe in his hand every time the spider moves in an act of intimidation. He tries to be brave, but usually someone else steps in before he can muster up the courage to actually kill it.

Leo gets freaked out at first, but he can usually calm down enough to get rid of it. It's 50/50 on whether he kills it or brings it outside, it depends on how he feels and if he's able to find a way to transport the spider. Sometimes he gets really hooked on the whole "sanctity of life" thing, but other times he just says screw it and kills it.

Micah has no problem stepping in and killing the spider. He grabs the nearest thing he can find and squishes it, all while sighing at how dramatic his mates are. He is hailed as a hero by his pack for this.

Rain will not kill the spider, because he's too busy playing with it. He'll watch it crawl around on the wall for a bit, fascinated, before picking it up and letting it crawl around on him. He tries to show his mates, but Leo and Micah are really the only ones who will entertain him for long (Ren and Charlie think he's insane). He'll name it and everything, but eventually he'll bring it outside so it doesn't have to die.

GUYS I JUST GOT BACK FROM AN AQUARIUM AND I FOUND RAIN’S EEL.

YOU KNOW THE ONE HE STOLE FROM A CHILD IN THE AQUARIUM FIC? I FOUND IT AND I BOUGHT IT AND NOW I HAVE RAIN’S EEL.

I’M SO HAPPY I LOVE HIM SO MUCH.

[wake-me-up-inside-imagines]

Does Rain work in a tattoo shop or the shop his? You mentioned he was pretty math savvy, so I bet that could translate to business savvy too.

Follow up, what’s his art style specialty??

Good question! I think I’ve decided to make it canon that he owns the tattoo shop, but I’m not sure what goes on on the business end of things when it comes to owning a place, so I have no idea how to describe that aspect of his work. He’d probably be real good at it though, especially since he’s such a likable guy (if a little disorganized).

I’d say his most used style is whatever you call the style where only black or grey ink is used, although I could see him dabbling in new school style too! Doing something zany and colorful would be right up his alley, but so would just using darker inks. So I’d say he does the darker ink stuff most often and it’s what he’s most known for.

[wake-me-up-inside-imagines]

Nobody is showing up at work and I’m bored out of my mind, so if y’all have any questions now would be a good time to send them in lol. I’ll probably be free to answer them all day.

Whoever started that “em dashes are an indicator of ai use” is on my shitlist because It’s started a really obnoxious wave of people calling anything with an em dash ai. Which is stupid because ai is trained off of human writing, so if it’s using em dashes it’s because human authors are also using them, but even if it wasn’t a popular thing in human writing, I love that stupid little line too much to let it become an ai indicator. Let me use my little dramatic line in peace!
