Lulluuuuu <3

After Lucille’s reported disappearance on January 7th 2003—although evidence states that she had likely already been missing for at least two days before the report was filed in—Her father, Thomas Greatfeild, was brought in for questioning out of hopes he could give insight on the girl’s possible whereabouts or give enough information to make assumptions.

░░░░░░░░░░

DL : Mr Greatfeild, can you recall any odd behavior from Lucille prior to her disappearance?

TG : What do you mean? She was fine, there wasn't anything wrong with her.

DL : You're sure there was nothing that didn't seem normal?

TG : Why does that matter? Is weird behavior going to tell us where my daughter is?

DL : It could…

TG : ……

TG : She had a TV in her room. I put it in there so she could watch movies and let her friend play games on it when he was over. After he died I had half a mind to take it…

DL : Why is that?

TG : It started to freak me out. She'd leave it on but it would just be static. Sometimes the color would shift. I asked her one day…I said “Lucy, what's up with the TV? Is there some special setting they put in that I'm too old to understand?” because the TV, the static had gone green and…I don't think they normally do that.

DL : And what did she say?

TG : She said, “No daddy, it just does that.” I said to her “Well maybe we should take it in to get it fixed.” and the way she looked at me, eyes so wide I thought they would pop out of her head…she shook her head really fast and panicked and said “No, no, please don't. I don't want them to fix it, his favorite color was green Daddy, don't you know that?” I tried to not let her take it to her dorm at the private school but…I don't know.

DL : Who's favorite color?

TG : Her friend. He died in January of last year.

DL : Who was he?

TG : Benjamin Lawman? Everyone called him Ben, I called him Benny. Good kid but the world always seemed like it was out to get him you know?

DL : Okay…We have that case on file…do you think her going missing has anything to do with that?

TG : Unless Ben came back from the dead and dragged her off then I doubt it…

DL : Okay…are you aware that we found a garbage full of blood soaked tissues in Lucille’s dorm?

TG : She gets bad nose bleeds. Always has.

DL : All of that from nosebleeds?

TG : Yes…sometimes they're constant, one after the other. We've gone to the doctor about it, but can't find anything wrong.

DL : Okay. Mr. Greatfeild, we have some pictures and we'd like you to–

░░░░░░░░░░

The report goes on to describe responses to photos shown to Mr. Greatfield, hoping that he could identify some objects as Lucille’s or not.

Two days later, Lucille’s elder sister called in to report that she'd found dozen’s of items that Lucille had when she disappeared, all of them seemingly attempting to be hidden in a friend’s dorm.

However, with a lack of further evidence, nothing was further done with this information.

Luluuuuu It’s herrrr!!!

I literally adore Lulu and it’s so sad that the little gal is so underrated…her original story was a mess and was basically just gross fetishes thrown together, like it’s genuinely disgusting, so I’ve changed her and her story a lot, and she’s one of my favorites. I actually have so much lore on her- but here she is!

[eyelessjackspuppyshark]

LAUGHING JACK HEADCANONS? 👉👈

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 YES! Okay so my Laughing Jack isn’t 100% planned out due to him not being a main muse. But I have quite a few head cannons!! These may be quite messy so bare with me! :3

‧˚₊꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶꒦꒷‧₊˚⊹

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 Laughing Jack originated as a Angelic shapeshifter. He was made to be a “imaginary friend” to help sad and terminally children. Used to make children happy or enjoy their last moments. He was fairly weak during this period of time, feeding off the little emotions around him.

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 Although due to being trapped in his box for years due to Isaac leaving he began loosing his colour due to his box feeding off Isaac’s mothers negativity. And eventually watching Isaac torture people he was corrupted. LJ lost his colour turning him monochrome, and his body began only feeding off the negativity and souls that were in the house. Due to this he was corrupted and ended up turning into a demonic creature instead of an angelic creature.

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 Laughing Jack is a shapeshifter and has multiple different forms he takes. One of those forms being “Laughing Jill”, I personally headcanon them being the same person. He also will occasionally shift into child like versions of both of his forms, along with turning into animals for convenience. He’s Genderfluid!

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 Laughing Jack doesn’t kill children. He doesn’t believe children deserve to suffer. Although he kidnaps children after killing their abusive parents. He typically takes the children and drops them off in completely different states, and sometimes different countries in hopes that they’ll have a better life. Sure it’s strange but he just wants to help children get better.

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 Laughing Jacks box is what keeps him alive, it’s like his soul to him. He often keeps it safe with Sally whenever he’s not helping another child. He can morph it into different things as well. He turns it into a small necklace for Sally to wear, Sally also feeds off of the energy from the Box to have a physical form; so without LJs box she wouldn’t be able to touch anything. If his Box is broken he’ll die with it.

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 Speaking of Sally. Laughing Jack adopted her almost immediately after they met. He felt bad for her due to her situation and promised he’d help and protect her. They’ve got a Father Daughter bound.

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 The inside of Laughing Jacks box is like a huge carnival! It used to be colourful but unfortunately it lost all of its colour when he was corrupted. Although LJ is a Kleptomaniac and often steals things from his victims. He also has a compulsive hoarding addiction so his carnival is a mess.

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 Laughing Jack claims to be Pansexual but in reality he isn’t really attracted to people. He often finds himself accepting dates just for convenience and too have fun. Never being fully interested in people. He’s too busy being a Dad to care about others

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 Laughing Jack sees nearly everything in black and white, although he sees the colour red. He’s often fascinated by anything red and will gravitate towards it to check it out. Due to this Him and my OC ARK have a fairly confusing relationship. LJ with randomly touch his hair and he’ll panic.

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 Laughing Jack often doesn’t understand personal space. He finds himself leaning against people and using them as shoulder rests. Or getting in their face without realizing.

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 Laughing Jack can sense people’s emotions and will often make his body admit certain pheromones to cheer people up or to make them feel other emotions.

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 Laughing Jack has a never ending pocket that he keeps candies and small toys in. Often handing them out to the people around him. If you need a fidget toy just ask him and he’ll give you one! He often will drug the insomniacs with melatonin candies just to get them to sleep.

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 Laughing Jack is only at the mansion due to Sally enjoying it. If Sally wasn’t with him he would continue to do his own work alone.

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 Laughing Jack can teleport, along with being telepathic. He knows almost everything and it’s scary.

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 If Laughing Jack finds a love interest (although it’s very unlikely he would) he’d be obsessed with them and grow very clingy of them. He’d honestly do anything for his partner. Also he’s one loyal MF…

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 More Toby headcanons!! My asks are also open for any questions or writing prompts!!

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 TW: Alcohol abuse, Verbal abuse

‧˚₊꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶꒦꒷‧₊˚⊹

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 As a child Toby never understood why is Dad would drink and practically turn into a different person. His Father was an alcoholic before he was born but his memories of it was mainly repressed. He mostly remembers stuff that happened after the age of twelve. His Father would also drink hand sanitizer and hairspray to get drunk when money was tight. He hates the smell of Sanitizer and hairspray due to it. (I HC Jeff uses a lot of hairspray and it sometimes causes him to lash out.)

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 Toby has a weird relationship with Jeff. He considers Jeff his best friend but often splits and hates Jeff for a short period of time.

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 Toby and Natalie are close friends. They understand each other very well and often bound over their childhoods. Toby sees her as someone he wants to protect and will often go out of his way to help her. They will often play with their stuffed animals together.

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 Toby hates crackers, he can’t eat them due to an incident when he was around that age of six. He had been left alone with his father while his mother was at work, and due to his father drinking he hadn’t been fed. He grabbed a thing of saltine crackers off the counter and tried to eat one but alcohol had been spilt on the package and soaked most of the crackers. He threw up due to the taste.

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 At the age of eight while he mother was at work, his father had pressured him into drinking some beer. He tried his best to drink it but ended up throwing up. He was just trying to play with chalk outside when this had happened.

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 Lyra was 23 when she died. Five years older than Toby. She was trying to convince her Mother to leave their Father just for Toby’s sake. Lyra had just got a job in the city and was going to take Toby with her once she got an apartment even if her mother decided not to come. Lyra was also the main reason Toby got therapy in the first place.

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 During Toby’s childhood he often woke up due to his parents arguing. Typically the arguments lasted for hours until one of his parents went to work. Toby grew extremely fearful of being awoken by his parents arguing he began staying up until he would faint. This led to Toby getting Insomnia.

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 Toby gets moments where he’ll dissociate and completely disconnect from reality. Often times it’s when he hears arguments due to his parents arguing.

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 When Toby was younger he used to curl up in his closet with his Nintendo DSI. Cowering in there when his parents would argue. Lyra would often times find him in his closet and hold him while she watched Toby play Nintendogs, Cooking mama, or Super Mario Bros.

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 Toby used to slam his head against a wall whenever his parents argued just to be able to focus on the ringing in his ears over the sound of his parents arguing.

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 When Toby was 19 he bleached his hair to be blonde like his moms and sisters due to not wanting to look like his father. Unfortunately he’s the splitting image of his father.

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 Toby’s father used to take Toby and Lyra’s items to sell them to get money for alcohol. One time his father took Toby’s TV to sell. Due to this he often hid his Nintendo DSI under his pillow while he slept, or in his pocket.

Lore rambling 🤞

Ghost often times have limited emotions, those emotions commonly being the ones they felt near or during death. That being said, it's common for murder victims to be very angry and/or fearful.

That does in fact apply for Sally. However she has shown a full array of emotions as well as a very strong control over herself. This is because of her direct attachment to Laughing Jack. LJ is a creature that withholds a bigger influence than ghosts, demons and angels which in turn has allowed it to piece Sally's soul together, allowing her to be more human than most other spirits. LJ's presence also allows for Sally to have a constant physical form as she feeds off of the clown energy. This doesn't hurt LJ of course, and they're quite aware of this happening.

In other words, Sally and LJ are best friends who work together perfectly because they have exactly what the other needs and wants, and can give it without harming themselves

"Do you think this is how he looked at himself before he tried to kill you? Not that you would know since you weren't there for him…"

Sully never was and never will be good for Liu's mentality. All he does it repeat things that Liu already knows but what could Liu do? He was stuck with him. And Sully held an unwavering hatred for both Liu and Jeff, he always had.

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 Ship: SharkTeeth(Eyeless Jack x Ark Willows)

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 Note: This is honestly just sappy shit. It brings me overwhelming joy when I write these two >:3 I’d love questions about them!!

ᯓ ᡣ𐭩 Also thanks too @p1gsbl00d for editing this.

‧˚₊꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶꒷꒦︶︶︶︶︶꒦꒷‧₊˚⊹

The silence grew as the two laid there. The faint rhythm of the record player echoed through out the room.

The two demons had always enjoyed each other’s company, even in the silence.

Ark had always hated silence; but silence with Jack was calming. As long as he was in Jack's presence, he felt safe enough to embrace the silence.

“Jack?”

“Yes, Darling?”

Jack hummed as his eye sockets opened, his gaze fixating on the redhead in his arms.

“Do you think we’ll last forever?”

Ark mumbled as he looked up at Jack, his eyes wide in curiosity. He had always enjoyed asking Jack little questions. Little questions that he knew the answers to. Although he loved the reassurance Jack would give him anytime he asked.

“Of course, Dear. We’ll last forever. I’ll love you until the day I die.”

“Me too… I’ll love you forever and always.”

A small grin spread across the redheads face as Jack's hand went up to gently run his fingers along Arks freckled cheek. He leaned in to press a few gentle kisses against the Auburn’s forehead.

“So does that mean we’ll get married?”

Ark giggled out, his giggles growing as he saw Jacks sockets widen in surprise. Jack had never expected the topic of marriage to come along. Let alone someone wanting to marry him out of anyone else in the world.

“You want to marry me?”

“Of course I do… You’re so sweet and loving. I feel safest when I’m around you. You complete me. Without you, I’m just an anxious mess who can’t do anything without panicking. You’re the love of my life and I need you. I could never live without you.”

The words spilled out of Arks mouth as he stared up as his boyfriend. His small hands playing with Jacks shirt before he burst into playful giggles once again.

“It obviously wouldn’t be an official marriage. But we could have rings of each others favourite colours. Mine would be a baby blue, and yours would be yellow! And we’d have a big cake! And Sally could be the flower girl!”

Jack couldn’t help but grin as he listened to Ark’s sudden rambles. Ark’s rambles were one of the reasons Jack had fallen in love with Ark. He loved listening to his rambles even if it was something he didn’t understand. He had listened to hours of Ark info dumping about Pokémon, Minecraft, and horror movies. Sure He didn’t understand the appeal but it was what Ark liked, so he happily listened.

“Yeah? What type of Cake would we have? Who would marry us?”

Jack questioned, earning an automatic answer from Ark.

“I want something made with cream cheese! Maybe a Cheesecake, or something with cream cheese icing? And maybe Brian or Liu would do it for us! They’re the best at doing serious things!”

Jack couldn’t help but chuckle, grinning as he leaned in and planted a small kiss upon Arks forehead.

“Maybe we could do a Carrot cake? Or a Cherry cheesecake? I’m sure we’ll find someone too marry us.”

“What about a carrot cake and cheesecake together? Maybe we could add cinnamon too!”

Ark giggled, his hands gently beginning to flap in excitement. Jack couldn’t help but chuckle, pulling his boyfriend closer to him.

“That sounds wonderful…”

“I know! It’s a really good idea!”

Ark chirped although after a few seconds he let out a small yawn, gently rubbing his face before nuzzling his face against Jacks chest.

“I’m sleepy…”

The redhead muttered, pushing himself closer to Jack. It didn’t take long before Ark began yawning more, his eyes fluttering shut as his boyfriend’s hand began gently stroking his hair.

“Go to bed, Darling… I’ll be here with you wake up.”

“Promise?…”

“I promise.”

Ark knew Jack wasn’t one to break his promises, he had never been one to betray him like all the other people who had been in his life before.

“I love you, Jack…”

“I love you too, Ark.”

A smile crossed Arks face as he closed his eyes, slowly finding himself slipping closer and closer to slumber as Jack played with his red hair.

Until Finally Ark’s body fell limp against Jack's chest, gentle snores escaping Ark as he slept.

And with one final forehead kiss against his boyfriend’s skin, Jack finally allowed himself to drift to sleep, His arms wrapped tightly around his boyfriend’s body.

THEM THEM THEM THEM THEM THEM

A Boy and His Dog.

"May the world see us as the innocence we once held, and not the sins we've committed."

Not everyone is born bad. Jeffery know that. And he knows he wasn't someone who was born as a horrible person. He became one due to others actions. Although he's never tried to fix it.

He finds himself to be much like his dog. A being that knows no wrong, forged to be horrible because people could not leave them in peace. But Smile is a good girl, and he is not.

Nobody really knows how horrible he is, however. Instead people still view him with the childish innocence he once had. He hopes it stays that way.

It will not.

SPECIAL THANKS TO @eyelessjackspuppyshark FOR CHECKING MY COLOR PALETTES AND EDITING MY STORY.

LORE PAST THE CUT OFF

On the night of Jeffrey's meltdown, Liu was able to fight back enough to stop his panicked younger brother. He never held anything against him for that night, as Liu felt guilt for letting anything bad ever come to his poor sibling. Instead, Liu found himself making his way down stairs with a comforting arm around his brother, only able to move due to adrenaline. They sat on the floor and Liu held Jeffery as he called the police, explaining what he knew of the situation… Which wasn't a lot. He knew their parents were dead, he knew his own vision was blurring, and he knew that Jeffery's face was gashed open and there was a bullet wound on the left of his chest.

Admittedly, after that, everything was a blur. Liu knew Jeffery and him were both in the hospital for a while…Then came a court trial.

Innocent on the plea of Self Defense and Insanity.

Jeffery was sent off to a ward.

"He'll get better." Liu always told himself.

"You won't be alone for much longer." He promised himself as he laid in bed at night.

Alone. 

He'd been alone since Sully died. Hell he'd been alone even before the poor bastard kicked the bucket. His own twin had never wanted a thing to do with him, especially after he'd been sent to some fancy school.

What a dick. 

…

One

Two

Three 

Four…

Four? 

Yes, four.

Only four years and Jeffery was out.

"He recovers quickly, you know that?" Liu remembered the condescendingly sweet tone in the doctors voice.

"Does he now?" Liu knew that wasn't true. Jeffery never recovered quick from anything. It always stuck longer than it would for a normal person. Jeffery only pretended to be better… Liu should have said that. Told them more. But he couldn't. He just hated to be alone. He wanted his baby brother back.

And he got him back. 

He hugged him and held him, as if Jeffery had been snatched away from him… because he had been. Jeffrey had been pried from his cold hands and for what? Because he was scared?

It didn't matter.

It didn't fucking matter.

Because he had him back.

Not his brother.

But his baby.

Not the child his mother and father raised.

But the baby he had raised himself.

“You're taller… and thinner, did they not feed you?” Liu poked, and prodded at Jeffrey's skeleton-like face.

“Shut up, you sound like a grandma…” His still high pitched voice responded, one thin hand moving up to gently push Liu’s hand off. 

That's fine.

That was fine.

He wasn't alone. He wasn't alone anymore, thank God.

⛧☾༺♰༻☽⛧

“I'm sorry, Liu.”

“I know.”

“No, really, I promise I'm sorry.”

“Don't be.”

“You can turn me in, send me back, I don't care, it's fine!”

“No, it's okay. Jeffery… We all mess up. We all make mistakes. Rome wasn't built in a day.”

Jeffery’s eye twitched a bit. He wasn't sure if it was out of anxiety, or if he'd gotten blood in it.

Liu’s hand reached to gently ruffle Jeff’s hair. “I can get the blood out of your clothes.”

“God, I'm sorry…” He wasn't really sorry. He was only sorry that Liu had caught him sneaking back in.

“Go change. I'll get the blood out.”

“But the… Crime scene…?”

Liu’s head shook softly. “I’ll handle it. Throw them off… We'll fix this.”

There was silence between them. Jeffery’s eyes fixed on Liu’s calm expression, pupils tracking the scars on his brother's face. He was only snapped out of it as Liu spoke again.

“What made you do it?” Jeffery could tell it was only curiosity. But he couldn't let Nina get in trouble with him. He bit his tongue for a moment before deciding to give him the half truth. 

“I've always wanted to do it again. I just… Lost it.” His voice broke and Liu smiled a bit.

��That's okay. We'll be okay. It'll stay between us, it's one small slip up…”

One small slip up.

Liu said the same thing each time Jeffery came home covered in blood, a wild look I'm his eyes as he apologized. And when Nina came in limping beside him one night, Liu said it again. And he fixed it. What else was there to do? Jeffery would get better. 

Ten times was fine.

Twenty was fine.

Thirty was okay too.

Liu still slept soundly every time. Knowing it would be okay. Because Jeffery would get better.
