The crunch of the toast and the sweet taste of strawberry, or what Mammon called bloodberry, jam was decidedly Ajays favorite way to start their day. They let out a pleasant little hum as they quietly watched Himiko finish cooking breakfast for Ryo, Grim, and Mammon who got up just slightly later than the messy haired teen.

"It's probably because her spring break just started," Himiko had explained. The hushed clanging of pots and pans had only just started, but Himiko didn't seem as pleased as she did yesterday. "I hope she remembered to set her alarm for RAD today."

"What's a spring break?"

"It's a week where students take off from school for the beginning of spring, at least in the human realm. Since spring doesn't exist in RAD, they don't get that."

"What's a RAD?"

Himiko looked up from the slowly heating pan and turned to the teen who had just settled in a chair. For a moment she thought to question how they hadn't known what RAD was, but then again they also hadn't known what normal food was. So maybe it shouldn't really be a surprise.

The more she learned about the kid the more questions she had.

"RAD, or the Royal Academy or Diavolo, is a school that every demon attends starting from kindergarten to college." She explained as she tossed hashbrowns into the pan. "You will actually be going to RAD with Lucifer and Ryo today, but you'll be staying with Lucifer for the week so remember to bring your bag."

"Okay Lady Himiko."

The kitchen settled into silence after that either only the sound of shadow hog frying on a pan to occupy it.

For a moment Ajay could hear a whisper bloom from the shadows nearby.

"Is Lady Himiko truly anything like what your guardians told you?"

And then another.

"This is temporary. Don't be naive."

Ajays eyes narrowed on their lap. They felt a small ball of something bitter swell and stir, as if something shoved it into their chest and the feeling got comfortable. Their gaze drifted back up to Himiko just as shots of green and black struck through their eye.

"Can I bring Mr. PanPan with me to RAD?" Ajay asked.

The voices retreated and Himiko glanced at Ajay out of the corner of her eye, a raised brow. For a moment she thought to question why the teen had asked that after around twenty minutes of silence, before shrugging and continuing.

"You can't bring stuffed animals into RAD, no." She hummed, setting a third plate next to two other larger ones. "But you can bring him with you to Lucifers."

"I can?"

"I'm sure he won't mind that much. He may be a grouch, but he's a reasonable one."

The sound of half asleep grumbles from the halls put a pause on the conversation as Ryo and Mammon made their way into the room. Grim had decided to ride Ryo like a chariot and sat atop her head, yawning widely before settling down in his own designated seat.

"Good Morning you two." Himiko chuckled.

All she got were affectionate grumbles in response, so she ruffled their bed heads in retaliation as she moved to her own seat.

Ajay took that as their cue to hop off of their seat and start on their way to gather Mr. PanPan to leave in the few minutes they still had at the Nanami-Morningstar household.

"You're not gonna finish your breakfast?" Ryo called through a mouth full of her own food. She gestured towards the still mostly full plate, also decidedly ignoring Himiko's small scolding, and turned to face Ajay.

The half demon only shrugged with a quiet "I'm full." Before they started down the hall.

Grim took his chance and scooped the rest of Ajays food onto his own plate with a wide grin, "more for me!"

The knock on the door came right on time, if not a few seconds early. Himiko was the one to answer, swinging the door open with a small greeting as Ryo nudged Ajay towards the man in the doorway.

Mammon looked over and scanned the fourteen year old a raised brow, mostly noting their lack of luggage aside from the stuffed panda that hung on their hip. His eyes drifted towards Ryo, then the area surrounding them, before pointing to the non existent bag on their shoulder.

"Is that all that you're bringing?" He asked.

The teen titled their head and blinked, "It's all that I have."

"Oh yeah, ya came from the dungeons."

The ravenett in the doorway smirked with a small rumbling chuckle as he turned to the demoness, "Surely you didn't already take them into your makeshift orphanage, Himiko."

Himiko, as eloquent as she was, decided to go for the straight forward response of, "Watch it, Lucy."

Ajay titled their head at the exchange and gave the group a cautious frown, looking between Himiko and Lucifer. Himiko turned to the teen a small smile, mostly in an attempt to counteract Lucifer's neutral glare.

"You already met him at the castle, but this is Lucifer Morningstar the Avatar of Pride." She introduced, vaguely gesturing in the demon direction.

"Or uncle Lucy." Ryo chimed.

Lucifer's expression shifted into a hard frown that he shot towards the half demon, "Do not call me that."

Mammon strode over his big brother with a roll of his eyes. He leaned most of his weight on him and lightly punched him in the shoulder as he dropped his voice to a whisper, "Quit your glowerin' big bro, you're gonna scare the kid..." he tried.

Lucifer glanced towards the teen and Mammon caught sight of the hesitant glances they kept throwing towards the Avatar of Pride.

"Nevermind you already did."

Lucifer simply shrugged in response and turned to Ajay and Ryo, "Anyway, let's go."

Both teens started toward the elevator, one skipping along while the other strode a few steps behind. Ryo had yet to convince them that this behavior in particular was weird, but the kid was a weird one overall.

Lucifer reached out to stop Ajay for a moment, "I'm going to drop you off at RAD and you will get settled into your room and the dorm after school."

The half demon nodded before darting off to stand by Ryos side, leaving the three adults alone in the living room when the elevator doors closed.

...

"You could've at least tried to be friendly." Himiko mumbled.

"I was."

"No you were not?"

The large castle-like structure of RAD slid into view quickly, its warm orange lights and many windows illuminating the inside to give Ajay a slight peek into the schedules of the bustling teachers and staff.

The entrance to RAD wasn't as grand as the castle, but still had a flair to it that matched its environment while still standing out as important. That was specifically noted by the large RAD symbol etched into the stone ground.

Students and staff alike chatted around the entrance, making it clear that school hadn't started yet.

The Avatar of Pride handed Ajay a backpack that the teen wasn't sure they'd seen him have before. It was basic in style but weighty.

"This is the only time we'll be driving to RAD." He explained, waiting for Ajay to adjust the bag before dropping it on their shoulder. "During your stay at the House of Lamination my brothers and I will be walking you to and from school."

"What about Ryo?" Ajay questioned. The princeling didn't look up from her phone.

"She also walks to and from school."

"Isn't that dangerous?"

Lucifer raised a brow at the teen, as if the question itself was ridiculous in thought. "She has a father and several of the strongest demons in hell to protect her. You have neither. Who do you think is in more danger?"

The teen, in response, simply blinked and tilted their head. "...Her?"

"Oh. You're dense." Lucifer spoke bluntly and swore he could feel the tell-tell signs of a migraine already starting up in his skull. Just how much trouble had Diavolo gotten him into this time?

"Anyways, Ryo will walk you to the high-school sector and drop you off at your first class. In your bag you'll find everything you need for your classes today, including a D.D.D to stay in touch with Ryo. Don't cause any trouble for me or king Diavolo. Understood?"

"Yes Lord Lucifer." Ajay nodded. They stood up slightly straighter, like a perfect little soldier if Lucifer had to describe it.

"Loosen up old man, how much trouble can this kid really cause?" Ryo rolled her eyes and grabbed Ajays arm with a light tug. She started for RADs entrance, dragging the teen at her side to keep up with her pace, "Let's go before we're late, not that I care but you probably would."

"Okay."

The doors to RAD swung open easily, mostly with either magic or Ryos strength, Ajay couldn't tell. But the second the two stepped into the school the hallway went completely, and awkwardly, silent.

The teen had only been taught so much about the royals, though most of it was word of mouth from two of their guardians about how horrible they are, one of them had taught them the history of how all nine Avatars came to be. But they mostly understood how well respected and renowned they are.

So when they walked into the halls of RAD, they expected the students to turn their full attention to the princette of the Devildom, maybe bow or at least greet her with praises or something. But instead, a harsh uncomfortable silence settled into the hallway as most of the students stilled, while others almost completely ignored her or ran away.

Ajay thought to question it for a moment, but Ryo didn't seem to be that surprised. If anything, the princette only looked slightly bothered but not annoyed.

"Why is everyone ignoring you?"

"Eh, let's just say I wasn't the best brat in my youthful years." Ryo grumbled, crossing her arms slightly tighter over her chest as her eyes flicked to the side. The few demons her age they landed on stiffened. One glared while the other tugged their friend's hand and scurried off somewhere.

If she didn't look annoyed before, then she did now.

"Aren't you sixteen?" Ajay spoke unfazed, looking from the demons back to Ryo with a neutral stare.

"It was so many moons ago."

"You just got back from whatever school it was two days ago."

"You really don't know how to have fun, do ya?" Ryo shot back. The half-demon didn't look the least bit affected by the sarcasm, instead they just looked more confused before shrugging it off as if suddenly deciding that they didn't care for an answer.

Before the silence around the two could be awkward, or Ryo could pick Ajays brain, the sound of rushing footsteps startled the Avatar of Misfortune to attention. A blast of pink hair blew past her and straight up to Ajay in a blur of gray and other colors.

"New kid, new kid!" The younger demon launched themself at Ajay faster than Ryo could blink. Right before they got slammed to the ground with lighting speed.

Ajay grabbed the demon's wrist with one hand and grabbed the front of their uniform with the other, less human, one. They hoisted the demon into the air with ease and body slammed them to the floor without hesitation.

Ryo laughed out loud, but the shrill ring of the bell rang louder.

"Ah shit- that's the bell for class." The princeling rushed and typed out something quick on her D.D.D. Ajay heard a small ding come from one of the pockets of their backpack before Ryo pocketed her phone.

"I sent you your schedule and the location of your first class, it should be pretty easy to find on your own. Ask the teachers for directions afterwards! See ya Ajay!"

The princeling turned on her heel and rushed down the hall towards where Ajay assumed the older teens attended. She was out of eye sight within a millisecond, leaving Ajay completely on their own.

Reaching into the pocket they assumed their D.D.D was held, they pulled it out with their robotic hand and stared for a moment.

...It was more lo-tech than they were expecting. It didn't look like anything close to the technology they were used to in the lab. They almost debated simply downloading the data into their arm after-school, but decided against it.

They found the map for school easy enough, and found their class surprisingly quicker. Not without bumping into a few students and getting growled at by a few others when their solid metal arm jammed into their backs.

The school day flew by quicker than the half demon expected. But the thing that surprised them the most was the difference in lunch times. They didn't think they were going to sit with Ryo, far from it, but the demon texting them the menu an hour earlier had confused them more than the slang the other teens kept using throughout the day.

Just as Ajay was beginning to get used to the idea of eating lunch alone their attention was caught by speed walking footsteps. As they looked up, their vision was filled with a RAD student skirt, one that was dabbled with bright spray paint spots, a few stitches, and a jacket tied around it. The owner of both simply crossed her arms and let out a giddy hum.

"Sooo, you're new here huh? First day and you're already getting into fights, good job!" The voice said with a small giggle. "Really! I've never seen a move like that! Not even when the princeling went on a rampage a good year back!"

Ajay frowned and turned up to the voice to find a demon with large light purple eyes and pink-orange puffy hair that was pulled up into two buns. She was smiling wide down at them with shark-like teeth and crossed arms.

The girl held out a hand towards Ajay before taking it back when their confused frown only grew worse. She shrugged, unfazed or unbothered, and introduced herself.

"The name is Candy, current record holder for most detentions and the demon you bodyslammed earlier!"

"Oh."

A different voice spoke next, this one slightly deeper than Candys' and with a hint of an accent. "Which isn't something to be proud of, but she doesn't have much."

"That ugly rat is Luka." Candy huffed, pointing somewhere over her shoulder and right towards the demon with blue eyes, black side parted short hair, and a small playful smile. He stood slightly further back and gave Ajay a nod of acknowledgement before quickly looking away.

"Guys, don't scare the new kid." A third voice chuckled. This one was softer than Candys' and higher pitched than Lukas'.

Candy rolled her eyes and plopped herself next to Ajay. She nudged their arm and gestured over to the green eyed, black and green haired, golden freckled girl standing slightly closer to the two.

"That mom friend who needs therapy over there is Gidorah." Candy explained.

"Why are you sitting here?"

"Because we wanted to sit with you. New kid and all y'know."

"I do not know."

"Okay then! Anyway, what's your favorite color?"

"King Diavolo, I don't believe it's a good idea to let Ajax-"

"Ajay."

"Ajay join gym class, at least not without power inhibitors or something. Or maybe seeing a doctor because what they did in the first place wasn't normal, your highness."

Now, in Ajays defense, they didn't exactly mean to cause one of the gym walls to collapse or to cause a chunk of the concrete to crack. They were told to not hold back against the other team in dodgeball, even though they didn't know what the phrase "hold back" meant.

So here they stood in the student council room before several new, colorful haired, Avatars of sin that they only knew by name alone.

"I see..." The demon king let out a loud sigh and cast his hazel eyes over the teen, who looked nothing less than confused. "Yes, that is going to be a problem. We can't have the gym getting destroyed every other day."

"They collapsed an entire wall." The orange haired demon whispered, staring at Ajay with wide disbelieving eyes.

The pink-ish haired demon next to his side glanced at his brother with his head in his palm. "Why do you sound so surprised, you do that when someone eats your custard, Beel."

"But they're scrawny..."

"If the peanut gallery wouldn't mind keeping it down." Lucifer, who currently looked half ready to smack someone upside the head, interrupted.

The green eyed demon flicked through a few papers, which Ajay still found strange, before he looked up to address the room with a hand on his chin. "The damage the gym sustained will require a healthy chunk of this month's budget to go towards fixing it. We'd have to cut-"

Diavolo cut off the Avatar with a shake of his head. "No, that won't be required. I'll pay for the damages myself. After all this was my mistake." He hummed. The room went silent, but Diavolo simply turned to the gym teacher with an embarrassed smile, "I meant to give them inhibitors before they went to gym, but I got so caught up in work that I forgot."

"More like his date with Lucifer..." The purple haired demon mumbled with a small giggle. This earned him a glare from Lucifer, a few chuckles from the other demons at the table, and a tired strained smile from the teal haired demon who had barely spoken since the meeting started.

"Well then, I will have preparations for the repair of the gym begin tomorrow morning, my lord."

"Well that was resolved quickly. What about them?" The gym teacher jolted a thumb in the half demon's direction, finally catching their attention.

Diavolo narrowed his eyes on the teen for a moment, watching them stand as still as a statue. "They will be let off with a warning," he decided, "a formal apology letter to your teacher will be written by tomorrow. Understood Ajay?"

The teen turned their attention to the king with a small nod, "Yes your highness."

"Aww, they’re so polite!" The pink haired demon cooed.

"Do we all agree that this is a fair consequence?"

"Yes."

"Sure."

"I don't see why not."

"Mhm."

The gym teacher stared down the half demon for a moment before nodding with a shrug. As long as it wasn't coming out of his paycheck or the gym budget, he didn't care that much anyway.

The blue-ish haired demon looked less than pleased, even sinking back into his chair. "I can't believe I got called out of class for this. It's the only easy one that gives me time to catch on the earliest updates of my favorite webcomics."

Lucifer slowly turned to look past Mammon's seat and glared down at the purple haired demon with daggers in his eyes. The energy in the room shifted, and Ajay could've sworn that Lucifer was the Avatar of wrath himself.

"Are you complaining about attending your student council responsibilities? And what are you doing on your phone when you're supposed to be focused on class?"

"Oh no..."

"And with that, this student council meeting can end here." Diavolo rushed.

The gym teacher turned and stared at Ajay for a moment, a question at the edge of his lips. What he saw that child do was unlike anything he had seen before in all of his years alive. But before suspicions could settle in, a stern smile from Diavolo shot it down. The demon sighed and left the student council room with a sharp turn.

The Avatar of pride tore his attention away from the purple haired demon to give the teen a barely softer glare. "Remember when I told you this morning not to cause trouble for me or king Diavolo?" He asked. His voice dropping into a tone that Ajay couldn't exactly place.

They knew they were in trouble, but not the kind of trouble their guardians normally threatened, clearly.

"Yes?"

"And yet only one day here and you're already causing property damage to the school."

The purple and white haired demon lifted his head up for the first time in a while and glanced down at the teen with an amused hum, "Satan's record was actually a few hours short of yours."

"You guys keep a record?" The blonde demon questioned.

"We will discuss this further at the House of Lamination since it is the end of the day, grab your things and meet up at the entrance Ajay."

"Okay."

That bit of the conversation caught the attention of the several other demons around the room, all with a range of looks of shock to completely unbothered.

"Wait, hold up, hold up." Belphegor shot up and whipped his head around to face Lucifer, "They're coming to live with us?! Since when, and why weren't we told about this?!"

"You didn't tell your brothers?"

"I did. I texted them each individually. He has me blocked."

The walk to the House of Lamination felt like an eternity plus some to Ajay. Mostly because several of the brothers, Asmodeus, Satan, and Belphegor, wouldn't stop peppering them with a number of questions. A few of which they physically couldn't answer even if they wanted to.

More surprisingly was when every one of them walked into the house with Lucifer instead of eventually leaving to go off to their own homes like Ajay assumed.

That was, until the realization struck the half demon like lightning.

Ajays eyes widened ever so slightly, barely showing the actual shock behind them.

"All of you live together?"

Lucifer turned to them with a frown, yet again looking at them as if they just asked one of the stupider questions he's heard. "Yes. Me and my brothers, except for Mammon, live in this house."

The teen raised a robotic finger and counted, horror and disbelief slowly growing up until the number hit six. Six people in one house, counting themself made seven.

"...All of you? In one house?"

"Yes, child." Lucifer narrowed his eyes on the half-demon, waving away the giggles that poured from his brothers. If it weren't for the forewarning that Ajay was generally quiet, they would've been cackling. That he was sure of.

This was it, Ajay was sure that if their guardians didn't find and kill them, or they didn't die fighting the Avatars whenever that was supposed to happen, then this was it.

Living in a loud, chaotic house with six other people would do them in.

AN - Ajay suffers their worst fate ever. Being put through normal teenage things, accidentally breaking down walls, and living with more than three people who want to interact with them.

★ || Affogato Cookie as older brother hcs! Since ya guys seem to want them

🍨☕ || Would call his younger siblings "dear didi" (dear younger brother),"dear meimei" (dear younger sister) or "dear didi meimei" (dear younger sibling) (p.s. sorry,not sure about how to say younger sibling in chinese ;3)

🍨☕ || Would give his youngers the best sweets of them all,that's for sure!

🍨☕ || Would tease and playfully mock his little ones,and then just laugh it off saying "Ah,why the frown,that's just a mere tease~"

🍨☕ || When his younger ones purposely annoy him after his duties he will just sit there with a sigh and accept his fate because I'm pretty sure he gets pretty much tired there

🍨☕ || Since I also headcanon him as a siren I think he would sing to calm his little sibs down when they cry or to put them to sleep!

(..I have more but I think they're suitable only for his relationship with Caramel Candy (my oc) in CCEH AU- ;D)

What if: Masked Event Moment

Notes - No MC, angst? A bit of angst in Ajays section, headcanons, based off of the masked Halloween event, Feat. Gidorah, Luka, Candy, and Ajay

Summary - What would happen if my OCs were to have the cursed masks on and how would they act? Demon/half demon kids edition, because I'm bored.

Warnings - For the sake of convenience let's say Gidorah has on a cursed headband that forces a dragon to give in to their basic instincts. Not proofread.

TW - Demons being demons, talk of "hunting" and "prey"

Gidorah:

- Gidorah only acts on their instincts in minor ways such as hoarding things their friends like to have presents on hand or hunting down random objects for fun. This child would never hurt a fly, so when that cursed headband gets placed on them, they'd hurt more than just a fly.

- "It's about drive, it's about power, we stay hungry, we devour-"

- Their magic mainly manifests in their claws when they're in their second form, so they're mostly just in a destructive rage. Completely opposite from their normal gentle and calm demeanor. But they aren't following orders or listening to anyone, they're just hunting. And if the treasure they're hunting just so happens to be the soul of a demon to keep in their stash or a human to eat, then so it shall be.

- Due to having wings, they're also mostly in the air and circling the area and won't land on the ground unless they're diving for their prey. So staying inside of buildings and underneath things would be best in this situation. Their hearing is still the exact same, but their eyesight is slightly better to spot things from higher up, so moving around is safe as long as it's quick and swift.

- They're doing all of this while dressed as a lady bug btw.

Luka:

- He's wearing a bunny mask for no other reason than Candy convinced him to dress up like a bunny vampire.

- Also this mf can PERCEIVE‼️

- His magic manifests in his eyes when he's in his second form so hiding from this dude when you're within seeing range is impossible. Not because his eyes make it so he can see through things or use heat signals, oh no no no. His eyes specifically look for weak spots. So this guy is able to see a weak spot on someone as long as they're within his range of sight. You stumbled your toe? This guy knows.

- Due to not having wings, he mostly stays on the ground. But due to having the ability to turn invisible, he is able to hide in plain sight, the only way to know he's there is by having the ability to sense magic or have an impeccable vibe radar. Anyway, this guy also takes pride in his friends and family, so if you see him you should probably know that he isn't alone.

- He, unsurprisingly, doesn't act like a demon all that often unless he's defending himself or he's fighting someone. Other than that, he barely purrs, hardly wags his tail, will not wiggle his ears, and does not growl. He's not expressive in the slightest. So when that mask gets placed on him, he is as silent as a mouse.

Candy:

- "Ding dong, I know you can hear me, open up the door-" She just sees it as a big game of hide and seek.

- She's also dressed up as a fairy, like Maleficent. So her mask is really just a full faced Maleficent mask.

- Also, earthbender.

- Candy's magic mainly manifests in her vine-like hands in her second form, but the real magic is when she manipulates her surroundings. She can make plants, rocks, metal, anything that can come from the earth, appear from anything having to do with the environment. She can make a mace out of a log of wood if she so chooses. However, this also makes fighting her rather dangerous as she can and will attack with nearly anything and everything within her line of sight.

- Due to having wings, Candy will often hover or fly to places to get there quicker. But unlike Gidorah, Candy won't circle the sky or area, instead she'll weed out her prey from the ground. Hiding from Candy is rather easy if you catch her on her own, her sight and hearing range don't change and she tends to hum to give her prey a chance to hide. The issue is that she's never on her own. Gidorah and Luka will always be somewhere nearby Candy.

- Unlike Gidorah and Luka, Candy is the only one of the three who acts more demonic even without the mask. Not to the point of actively causing chaos, hating angels, or picking on humans, but she's more open to playful mischief and play fights than the other two. She even allows herself to keep her sharp teeth and eye slits in her human form. So when the mask gets placed on her, it just gets cranked to eleven.

Ajay:

- "Close to me-" moment.

- They're also dressed up as the jellyfish version of Ursula, so their mask is a masquerade mask with led lights in it.

- Anyway, this child is DIFFICULT.

- Ajays magic is funky and can change at the drop of a hat or the snap of their fingers. But the real magic is the souls the magic is tied to, or vengeance. Their magic mainly manifests in two ways, the normal way where they can bounce between abilities using their arm, or vengeance where their power is sourced from the angry souls within them. They likely won't actually use vengeance or even go into their second form with the mask on, so they'd probably just resort to using whatever ability fits the situation. If they need to catch someone who's running then it's teleport time, if they need to confuse someone in a small area then it's smoke cloud time.

- Due to not really going into their second form at all, they'll stay on the ground unless they have to teleport to a higher area or climb up somewhere. They're extremely quiet and have very good hearing, which makes hiding from them or sneaking up on them a task and a half. However, unlike the three pact rats, Ajay is more likely to be found alone and away from whatever group they're with, so they're the only one to worry about.

- Ajay, being the traumatized child that they are, never acts like a demon because they don't even know how. They just go off of their human side more often than not and their demonic instincts are entirely nonexistent to them. At least to their knowledge it is. So when the mask gets put on them, they’re likely freaking out and losing it inside and will be afraid of everything for a hot second afterwards. An extra bit of trauma for flavor.

AN - I randomly got in the mood to write for the gremlins, and had a brainwash scenario in my head which birthed this.

[vulturereyy]

🍨, 🍬 and 🍋 for Foxy! And 🍷, 🍉 and 🍌 for Hawk >:3 (OC emoji ask game)

Foxglove

🍨 [ICE CREAM] How does your OC compose themselves in stressful situations?

The short answer is: she doesn't. Foxglove is terrible at stressful situations, no less because of her god-influenced bouts of rage. If at all possible, she knows it's best to just excuse herself or get herself out of the situation that's stressful. She much prefers to let Lambfeathers or Atlas or one of her siblings talk for her. Stress makes her get tongue tied and messed up in the head something bad, and she really doesn't want to be a part of it.

🍬 [LOLLY/CANDY] What would your OC like to receive for Valentine's Day/as a token of love?

Foxglove would be very embarrassed to admit it, but she just wants to have her partner spend time with her. She loves a good cuddle, she loves a good sleeping in past noon, she loves holding Lambfeathers' tiny hands and she loves feeling her soft wool leaning against her. Foxglove just wants to be shown that she is worthy and capable of gentleness and love, even if it makes her skittish to say aloud.

🍋 [LEMON] What is their kryptonite/ultimate weakness?

OUGH this is a hard one. But I want to say her family + Lamb. There is nothing in this world that will whip Foxglove into a near-inescapable rage than seeing any of her family or Lamb get hurt or used against her. She is not able to negotiate. She is not able to think clearly. She just knows they are in danger, and she needs to get them out of danger. Her family can very much be used against her as the world's easiest bargaining chip.

Hawk (Grimm)

🍷 [WINE] Where on the 'wine aunt scale' is your OC?

Is there a 1 million minus the being 'cool' part? Where on the scale is 'alcoholic chainsmoking uncle who is very bad at words but will sit with you and hold you tenderly if you're crying, and will leave you gifts even if he's not around much.'

🍉 [WATERMELON] What will your OC take to the grave?

The fact he regrets taking Dysilla's pact. He believes he has caused more harm than good in becoming corporeal, and finds that he misses his days as an intangible force of nightmare and havoc more than he'd admit. Mostly, he's just sorry for what he believes he's 'brought upon' his people and his troupe, especially Dysilla. The fact that the troupe will die with him is the only reason he's not found a way to end the troupe master and become wholly nightmare king again. (What his troupe has to say about this fate varies from person to person, but most hold Hawk in a regard so far from this concept it's not even close)

🍌 [BANANA] Have parts of your OC been lost to time (in-universe)? What do they wish they could lose from themselves?

Hawk RESENTS his frail status in his corporeal body. He hates aging, he hates feeling its effects, he hates everything about his prolonged life cycles, he hates existing in this tumultuous state. His youth and candor are things that he's definitely lost to time, though he may one day get at least the latter back. Hawk wishes he could lose his failing body and finally go babymode again, though he knows even then that this current state is inevitable again.

🍬🍦for the ask game, for an OC of your choice!

I'll do this one for my baby Owen!

🍬 [LOLLY/CANDY] What would your OC like to receive for Valentine's Day/as a token of love?

Owen would be more likely to give something to his romantic partner than receive something, but he wouldn't mind if they would prepare dinner for him (even if it's badly cooked).

🍨 [ICE CREAM] How does your OC compose themselves in stressful situations?

Owen has been on a lot of stress as a young boy. His family had high expectations of him and he always failed to succeed in their eyes. Growing up, he would put on headphones to cancel them out (to their annoyance). Now that he is an adult, he starts to meditate whenever he feels stress coming up. Sometimes he will just close his eyes and repeat the same words of confirmation in his mind.

[lokiwaffles]

🍬🍰🍨 for gray!

🍬 [LOLLY/CANDY] What would your OC like to receive for Valentine's Day/as a token of love?

Gray has an unhealthy love of fast food. He’d be satisfied with anything. Although he really would prefer to stay home with Iris and watch some old movies together!

Iris often brings new and interesting foods for them to try together whenever she comes over. He adores this about her.

🍰 [CAKE SLICE] How does your OC change as you get to know them?

He’s definitely more courteous and closed off in public. He doesn’t say a lot, even when something makes him uncomfortable. With Iris and his close friends, though, he is a lot more vulnerable and willing to state his boundaries or needs.

🍨 [ICE CREAM] How does your OC compose themselves in stressful situations?

He shuts down. He won’t speak to anyone and will fall back on his assassin training for support. He will strictly go through the motions, and will entirely disassociate, sometimes for days on end. This usually occurs during his missions, during which he becomes an unfeeling and brutally effective soldier.

🍨🍬🥀 for the oc ask game :3

Hi!!! <3 Tysm for the ask bestie <3

🍨 [ICE CREAM] How does your OC compose themselves in stressful situations?

>Vincent is extremely used to high pressure situations, so usually going through a mental checklist is a go-to to keep calm. In all forms of Vince (fo4, tow, me), he's also a chain smoker, so that definitely helps him a bit, lmao. However, years of high stress situations means Vince is very wiry when not in stress. He doesn't really know how to be without stress.

>Lance is not used to high pressure situations, but he's used to it enough to where he doesn't panic until After said situation is resolved. He's the kind of person who breaks down and cries after everything is ok. (related to the last ask: deadlines that are high pressure are more manageable).

🍬 [LOLLY/CANDY] What would your OC like to receive for Valentine's Day/as a token of love?

>For Vincent, getting wined & dined by his husband is plenty <3 Lance also likes to get him flowers so their home always has flowers and smells nice!

>Lance usually gets flowers from his husband <3 And then they cuddle and smooch watching a shitty movie (and then they usually fuck or smth lmao)

🥀 [WILTED ROSE] How good is your OC at meeting deadlines? What motivates them?

>Vincent absolutely never misses deadlines to his own detriment. He's so stressed out by deadlines and such usually he let's Lance handle stuff like bills, taxes, etc, b/c he sees a deadline and just goes a little berserk. (He sees the 'oh we have to pay this bill monthly why don't we just pay it off now' and Lance has to remind him that if they had enough money they wouldn't have taken the loan in the first place).

>Lance is a little more blase, a missed deadline sucks, but it happens. He's the one who takes care of the bookkeeping between the two. (And while I haven't nailed down his career yet, deadlines at work are no big deal-it's better to submit what you have, and do better work than rush it).

Ask me some emoji asks? :D

Tbh you deserve this.

Thank you very much for all of these and I hope I was able to answer them sufficiently!!

There's a lot of the sexual grooming, Spider's unreliable perspective aspects in the Circled Me! Universe story that really leap the fuck out in these answers, so y'know, watch your steps out there everyone.

🍼 [BABY BOTTLE] What's your OC's first memory?

This is a tough one considering there's a lot of ways I could go with this, but what keeps coming to mind for reasons I cannot explain is his first solid memory being of a hospital room, of the smell, the crinkle of the bed, and the weight on his chest from a bad bout of pneumonia. That luckily his dad realized he was way more tired than usual and wasn't even interested in eating, and so he took him to the doctor just in case; which immediately had him being sent over to the ER.

It's the baby-sized IV cannula in the back of his hand, the gauze, tape holding it in place, the IV splint wrapped around it all, and the strange, scary environment, the beeping sounds, the nebulizer mask's plastic gouging at the sides of his face that launched two year old Spider into a state of awareness, this conscious sort of feeling, deeply unsettled with no words to describe it and nothing to do but hold a nurse's hand, and then his dad when he's allowed in. That he doesn't know what death is, but he knows that this is uncomfortable and it makes him cry and want his dad. And the memory sort of sticks and sticks for quite a long time, but the first time his dad slaps him it very quickly gets buried under an avalanche of smaller moments that add up very fast. Because his dad was a solid rock in that hospital, so even if the trauma was big, it didn't rock him quite like all the others, because after he came home healthier and on the mend, and with an inhaler he would have to use for quite a few years every time he did too much exercise, he seemed to drift apart again. With Spider's little brain much more online— well, it made for a situation that Spider almost wished he would get that sick again just so his dad would be right there at his side day and night like that all over.

🍨 [ICE CREAM] How does your OC compose themselves in stressful situations?

I think he does a lot of deflecting and denial, and that he'll turn his panic into anger (subconsciously) because that's what his daddy's done his whole life, and he has no one else to learn how to deal with emotions and stress from. It really does depend on the situation what he will do though, he's been through a lot of different stressors and in a lot of situations he'll resort to humor, laughing it off, and worming his way out of any tight spot with the sort of predilection cats have to get through impossibly narrow spaces. He's highly adaptable because he has to be, but not resilient, and will quickly cave under stress even if he doesn't believe he will or ever has. He would get so mad if someone pointed out how much he will avoid situations, get rid of things, and isolate himself simply to avoid said stress.

Something about traumatized kids and being fragile as fuck with a thorny exterior and the illusion of being impenetrable to keep themselves going for years and years.

🍬 [LOLLY/CANDY] What would your OC like to receive for Valentine's Day/as a token of love?

Probably one of those silly Valentine's candy grams because he's never really had the opportunity to exchange them, the schools he's been to, he's not there long enough to really make connections and he often misses chunks of school that get him dangerly close to being truant. And as a token of love just something that means a lot to a person being entrusted with him, he has stones and rocks on a shelf at home from Kiri, a little braided grass doll from Tuk, things from Lo'ak and Neteyam as well jewelry, bracelets he doesn't wear out of fear of losing them. Even the time they made God's Eyes (a votive of the Huichol), Spider keeps those hung in his room, five of them side by side on walls that are otherwise pretty bare.

Unfortunately, the tokens of love he receives now are considerably more overwhelming. Let's just say Jake buys Spider a Nintendo DSi and loves to hold over his head all the less than legal lengths he went to obtain it and bring it on their trip, pressuring him into sex on the regular because he's being so generous letting Spider break the no technology rule on the farm, in the camper, wherever they happen to be and Spider tries desperately to glue himself to the screen. Of course, Daddy's tokens of love aren't much different and just as damning/controlling meanwhile Spider wishes he was just loved like the sons he sees in his favorite films and action-thrillers where the dad keeps them all safe, keeps them going, where his dad will hold him tight and tell him he's scared to let go, but in ways that won't make his stomach do so many flips, his skin crawl, and his insides writhe.

🌹 [ROSE] Does your OC believe in true love? Why?

I think he did at one point, and maybe he thinks he knows what it is, but he never thought it was for him for a lot of reasons. That it was a storybook thing, the closest he would ever get is childish fantasies and stupid dreams where he would kiss pretty girls or pretty boys and they would make him feel safe as they slayed monsters and dragons together— the ones with blue scales, orange fire, and gold eyes, wicked, dripping teeth and long curling tongues. They would rescue him from his tower, riding off together, maybe someone even a bit older with bright eyes and dark hair and a warm smile; but he knows the love he gets from Jake and his dad is the kind of love he deserves instead. That it's the kind that makes his daddy look at him with pride more often than he ever did before. And so that has to mean something even if some part of him wants to shrivel up and disappear.

🍁 [MAPLE LEAF] What is your OC's favourite season? Why and what do they do during it?

Summer, not that he likes the heat, but the summer is when they consistently head up to the farm and those are his favorite days, weeks, months, depending on how long they stay. He's always liked Fall as well purely for the turn in weather (although where they currently live in Florida it doesn't make much of a difference, still it gets milder and the migratory birds arrive in droves), and he thinks it might become his new favorite as for the first time he's looking forward to school starting up again, because his dad and Jake have always respected homework as an excuse to be left alone and he's hoping, praying that it will be the same. He's hoping that he can crack open a textbook and stare down it, marking shit down, highlighting it as Jake sits at his desk fiddling with shit and making conversation, being a distracting asshole until Spider throws a pillow at his head and it will all go back to the way it was where every dirty thought stayed in his head and didn't leak out into the world, infecting everything and everyone.

🍎 [RED APPLE] Who does your OC value above all else?

Probably his dad, and Jake by proxy of being attached to his dad— because valuing Jake is also valuing Dad. Even if it's a serious internal struggle, there's this collision course, gravitational type pull that has him wanting to do anything and everything to impress his father, atone for how he's fucked him over by fucking his boyfriend behind his back (because it's all about internalized victim blaming in Spider's head) and which his dad reminds him of more than once, starting this whole thing that day he let Jake be all over him. He values his dad's opinion, his words, his gun and its bullets and every shooting lesson, the way he wants to crawl out from under the shadow of his mother's death being the result of his birth. (He once valued Kiri very, very much, maybe even more than his dad for a while, but ultimately he found himself feeling guilty about that. That somehow he might drag her down to his level and his dad was careful to remind him that Kiri was Augustine's kid still, that she hates his guts deep down in there just like her mother, that it's a lot of pity and not much else.)

🍅 [TOMATO] How misunderstood is your OC? In-universe or IRL.

I'd say pretty fucking misunderstood thanks to his dad. There's so many people who see him and just see this mini version of Miles Quaritch and that does not help shit at all in-universe. Not to mention he is now actively pushing people away to try and protect them in ways he doesn't even understand completely, only that it's instinct, that he has to be exactly what they think he is, flawed, damaged, devil child, terrible, rude, and unpleasant, destined to be all the nasty things he's overheard about his father while never knowing the whole story. Just that he feels responsible since it all went down around the time he was born. He is lashing out, snapping, rapid fire leaping through every trauma response that his brain is desperately treading water with and Spider refuses to acknowledge that as anything but some shit he has to choke down, that everyone must've been right, he's too fucked up and there's no point trying to be anything different.

🥕 [CARROT] How tough is your OC against certain situations? How weak are they against others?

I'd say he's tough against things that involve physical fights, even if he gets thrown on his ass, gets punched, hit, scraped knees and elbows, he just gets back up. He's been taking hits for a long, long time and has been in quite a few scraps mostly in self-defense or from a snapping temper because of something someone said about him or his family. He's also of course been in fights and screaming matches with his dad for a long time as well, and so when confronted with that sort of violence he'll sink into wise cracking insults, falling into the familiar routine with a nasty snarl if he has to, so long as he doesn't feel helpless and out of control.

He's weak against everything to do with Jake and is easily reeled in by every hook Jake sets, because he's so starving he'll take every bit of bait and his tough facade will shatter like fucking glass so fast the moment Jake spins from friendly face to hands anywhere but kept to himself. And his dad knows how to hit him where it really hurts as well, knows how to make him feel helpless and lost and puny, and like everything is his fault, that the weights so heavy he's nothing more than a little boy with one foot in the grave who needs a shit ton of discipline and guidance to get right again.

🥭 [MANGO] What colours best represent them and why? Does this differ from their favourites?

Rich brown like the color of the Sully kids eyes, deep gold like the farm's fields and the curls of his hair, greens that remind him of Kiri's favorite shirts and her sling bag that she carries around.

Blue represents him, blue like his dad's eyes, like Jake's, like cyan between darker stripes from another world, another time. Blue like the lake he used to float face down in wishing it would swallow everything, blue like the propane torch he watched Jake fuck around with in the garage of their last rental home when he was working on some copper piping, blue like the fresh bruises kissed into his skin once by knuckles, now by teeth.

🍑 [PEACH] How do they show their kindness? How kind are they truly?

It's difficult for him to afford to be kind, and it's been like that for a long time. But there is a Before and an After now, where his kindness used to be quiet moments spent shoulder to shoulder with Jake, swapping some too sweet chocolate bar and a soda as they sat on the porch and talked about anything and everything. The same with Kiri, Lo'ak, even Neteyam sometimes, where he would just do his best to listen and understand. Now, his kindness is when he does his best to pretend like everything is fine so no one has to worry; which isn't much different from before, but he's having to work so much harder and he hates it so fucking much. (Which is to say none of this is actual kindness, and there's no saying how kind Spider is truly because he's so fucking traumatized and needs years of healing to understand what it's like to be safe enough to trust the right people, let them in, and learn what kindness actually looks like beyond self-sacrifice and taking on burdens he never should have to).

🧅 [ONION] What is surefire to make your OC cry? Who knows of this information?

If anyone says his mom is dead because of him (even the barebone facts of the story, the fact she did die during childbirth), he will absolutely cry even if he has to blink super fast and scrub at his eyes to try and fight it off. Jake and Quaritch know this very well, and others have accidentally found this out by wording things about Paz poorly around him because when he's so on edge already, every tongue becomes a knife.

🍕 [PIZZA SLICE] How good is your OC at sharing? How do they share something if there's not enough supply?

If anything, he shares a little too much. At least food wise, he'll constantly try to cut his portions to make sure everyone else has more even if he's still hungry. More than ever he's giving the larger half of sweet treats and other stuff to Kiri, to Jake, even to his dad simply because he can't stomach them. And of course they'll try and offer him more in their own ways and in Kiri's case he'll eventually get mad and slink off, but with Jake and Quaritch well… they're giving him way more than he bargained for in return, and there's no getting out of it. I think in a lot of ways he's not very good at sharing Jake either— there's this weird sense of jealousy, protectiveness, something, Something, that makes it so "sharing" Jake with his dad feels like some kind of psychosexual competition that Daddy dearest is well fucking aware of. And of course Jake is, too, but he thinks there's plenty of himself to go around (he absolutely adores the fact Spider is so attached to him in this extra special way compared to Quaritch and absolutely loves to tease Quaritch about it even though Spider is devoted to his dad wholeheartedly the way altar boys are to their priests' touches. It's just that Jake… he's sooo special, right? 😼 He's not Dad, but he *is* Dad's, and that's exactly who Spider belongs to as well. Match made in super hell— or heaven if you ask Spider, but the kind of heaven filled with maggots stuffed in soft pillow nest beds.)

🍋 [LEMON] What is their kryptonite/ultimate weakness?

His biggest weakness is physical affection, I kept trying to think way too hard on this one, but no it's that simple! That's his ultimate weakness, and of course Kiri as his kryptonite, too, at least when on the farm because he feels incredibly responsible for her safety even when he shouldn't have to shoulder that. But that's how he operates, and it's easy to catch him in a silver wire snare the way Jake has by doing things as simple as threading his hands through Spider's hair and humming softly during their little horror film nights. His dad starts to do the same, but only as a reward after being such a good boy for him— physical affection withheld from the person Spider fucking Lives for, breathes for, and occupies his mind deeper than Jake ever will.

🧈 [BUTTER] How soft is your OC? In what sense are they soft?

He's actually incredibly soft, but he's not necessarily allowed to be. It's everything he fears, letting his guard down, letting people in, showing he cares about them too much, especially now— after he's twisted in the web of sexual abuse; after he showed how much he cared about Kiri, about his cousins, uncles, aunt, grandparents, he was too soft, he ler them see too much, he listened to them, sat too close, smiled too much and laughed at their jokes and their stories, that's how he sees it. Now he pays the ultimate price, now he knows he can't let it happen ever again.

🏵️ [ROSETTE] What flower symbolises your OC best and why? What does the flower mean in floriography?

Witch Hazel. Those little yellow flowers that need chilly weather to bloom and have those seeds that can snap really far away with a popping sound. In Appalachia and among different peoples of the Shaconage, the plant has been used to find many things and has been associated with the ability to in fact find anything. It's also used traditionally for external and even internal anti-inflammatories and is indistinguishable from other understory plants until fall and winter roll around.

Which is to say it shares a lot of qualities with Spider, it's a resilient plant and Spider is physically resilient as hell— he has to be, but he also blends into the background until he snaps, pops all at once. And it could be said he helped Jake and Quaritch find something, Something Horrible, and everything Spider saw coming and couldn't stop.

A y-shaped branch of Witch Hazel used as a dousing rod can find lost knives, tools, and even Daddy's gun if the right intent is put in, isn't that right?

🍌 [BANANA] Have parts of your OC been lost to time (in-universe)? What do they wish they could lose from themselves?

I am so pisspoor at understanding the wording of this question, so I'm gonna go with what I assume it's asking; I'd say a lot of parts of him have been lost to his time growing up in-universe. He may only be fourteen, but since a very young age he's felt ancient despite still very much being and behaving as a child. He has memories from way younger than his peers, which only makes time feel as if it's stretched so much further and yet condensed all at once, a substantial chunk spent in terror and confusion with all the bittersweet good bits sprinkled in between. He lost the ability to just be a kid a long time ago, and I think if someone were to offer him a safe place where he could have that back again, he would break the fuck down. He absolutely wishes he could lose everything to do with that first time with Jake, every bit of sex and lust and desire pushed inside of him, planted in his head, he would lose whatever makes him feel so fucked up, confused, and jumping at his shadow even if he can't name it out of fear that all of it will be real.

(He wishes he could lose his dad, but that would be something he'd choke on if he ever said aloud.)

🍹 [TROPICAL BEVERAGE] If your OC could go anywhere, where would it be?

Genuinely anywhere that isn't where his dad and Jake are (he's fantasized about going where the Sullys live, even though he's never been, he's had more than one dream where it's just him and even Kiri all playing out in woods he's never seen before); except a part of him, a slimy, coiling, boiling hot part wishes that they'd just go on some vacation far, far away together, maybe somewhere where there's rainforest, animals he's never seen before, humidity so high he'd practically need a mask to breathe, somewhere easy to get lost in and disappear and that way he will know his dad and his rapey boyfriend will never touch anyone but him ever again.

💐 [BOUQUET] If you could send your OC a bouquet, what flowers would make it up and what is the overall message?

Nothing specific I can really think of besides it would be a casket spray, an arrangement for those to be buried, for the dead. Probably chrysanthemums, black dahlias, yarrow, and lotus flowers as well since they can be associated with sexual assault– it'd be quite the weird bouquet. Maybe a bit of baby breath's thrown in there. The overall message being you survive or you die, even if you already feel more than dead; the reality of the chronically traumatized.

🥐 [CROISSANT] Where is your OC from? How do they feel about their homeland? Where are they now?

He was born in Laughlin near Del Rio, Texas. He was there only a few months and has no real attachment to Texas; they have never been back to the state since then. A shit ton went down that he does not remember and has never been told or found much news about due to it being what his dad only calls classified. When he thinks of Texas or sees the different memorabilia, the photos of his dad's squad, the base, his mom, and the old ranch his grandparents had before selling and moving Northeast, he feels churning guilt, and grief he's never been allowed to understand is related to how much his childhood has been ripped apart, shifted, changed, and thrown him out with the bathwater. Now his dad and Jake rent a place in central Florida and he keeps the same arm's length distance that he reserves for every place they go, seeming to move every two years if not much sooner.

He doesn't know that his dad's plans are to remain in Florida for very specific child marriage purposes if he can reach his hands deep in the guts of those pre-2018 loopholes.

🍰 [CAKE SLICE] How does your OC change as you get to know them?

Oh, this is a tough one considering as the story continues I believe he gets more and more devastating to trek in his shoes. I don't really know what readers' first impressions are of Circled Me!Spider, but fuck, I'm assuming it's like marching down that endless hallway in House of Leaves, into the yawning darkness, or even down the staircase of Silent Hill 2, trekking far too deep into the world below, but you've gone so far there's no turning around— you commit to the bit. He changes against his will in the eyes of the reader and in the eyes of the characters, if that answers the question.

🍈 [MELON] If they had to be put into a box, what box would it be and why?

One of those cardboard nest boxes they put injured baby birds in, because he desperately needs it. The warm lamp, the soft blanket, the time to rest and recover and just sleep without the threat of reaching hands, sharp claws, and gutting fangs.

🥃 [MATE] What does your OC look for in a friend? What do they find is a turn-off?

He has a very, very limited number of friends, those he does have are pretty much within family circles only now. He looks for people he can sort of hang out with in an easy capacity, friends who don't ask too many questions, who wanna talk about themselves and what they like, tell him all sorts of stuff. He looks for friends who are willing to get down in the dirt, who will play games and do stupid shit, but not stupid enough to get a broken arm or worse. He finds it easier to get along with friends who are slightly younger, or maybe it's just circumstance that his cousins are all younger than him and they get along so well, only Neteyam being the more distant of the bunch— something about never feeling the age he is, either years ahead or years behind and somehow the Sullys get it.

Jake ticks all the boxes as well, but also all the turn-offs, too. Because Jake's nosey, he asks too many questions, he's too perceptive, he's always in his space and always goes through his stuff without asking just like the few friends he tried to make at school. He makes crass comments, gets him in trouble with his dad half the time, and has no concept of personal space that always pissed Spider off and reminded him of kids back in grade school who would hug him out of nowhere, or drag him around by the wrist when he was still the shorter of the bunch. And now Jake does so, so much more than that, and yet Spider can't help but think of him as a friend. The kind that leaves him feeling hollow and curled on his side, showered in gifts and affection and physical touch, stinging cheeks and knuckle shaped bruises from a rough punch. Praise and scathing, cutting words he needs to hear so he'll know how to do better, how to grow up, how to protect his family. Jake's his best friend like that, perfect and terrible in every way, and he thinks he might die if he were to ever leave him.

🍏 [GREEN APPLE] How do they differ from the norm and how are they punished for it?

He happens to be his father's son, set apart from the rest, only child to half a military family. He's punished the way kids growing up with a shitty parent who has a bad reputation do, by the sins of the father, because it's never made clear to Spider that the reason the extended family is so wary of him, that he gets the cold shoulder is because his dad is always right there. It doesn't help either that he's constantly the new kid in class, that his hair's long and sometimes braided, that he's never really hid the fact that he likes boys and girls in school, that he wears the same clothes a lot; ones too big on him. Worn and faded graphic tees, holes in them that sometimes get him dress coded at school. That he's taller than his classmates and so he stands out, and his shoes constantly seem to be too small for his feet and falling apart so sometimes he'll just go without them when he can get away with it. Lately, his dad's been getting him better shoes and clothes, nicer things, but more than ever he's being forced to isolate himself, to act out, to self fulfill the prophecy of being an unpleasant asshole (and far worse) like his dad.

🥝 [KIWI FRUIT] How does their outside appearance differ from who they are?

He probably has a resting scowl at this point. Like his default face would look so tense and angry, not to mention he's only ever getting taller. He may not know who he really is, but he's certainly not as mean as he tries to make himself appear/people assume based on all sorts of biases. It's easier being what other people assume than trying to break the mold at some point.

🍐 [PEAR] What is their current social standing? If they could change it, would they, and to what?

Shit, not good. And I don't think he can even comprehend what it might look like if he could change it. Right now he's the bratty boy with his dad's demon blood, the poor kid who's always getting towed around by his dad, the black sheep of the family, the odd one out, the one everyone's worried about but Everytime they approach Quaritch he tells him it's just Miles going through some things, puberty, a girlfriend back home that is totally not real, mental health woes like his momma, stuff that runs in the family, you know how it is, of course— and that's what he'll tell them, story after story and Spider remains Quaritch's son through and fucking through.

🌿 [HERB] Is your OC religious? What do they believe in?

He's agnostic, mostly, he hasn't had enough time to connect with any sort of spirituality at all. And it will be a long time before he learns that he's allowed to, that he's safe to. Although he knows Kiri and the Sullys have a very close connection with their religious practices dating back more years than he can comprehend, he feels distant, disconnected, trapped and unable to see what they see when they look at a tiny ant or the moon with her stars, the gentle kiss of every breeze and the power of each storm. He also doesn't feel any sort of kinship towards his dad or the Christian denomination churches they've been in and out of, but he does enjoy the live music and the free food.

🌵 [CACTUS] How physically resilient is your OC?

I think I actually answered this one up there a bit! But he is very physically resilient as a matter of survival. He absolutely hates being in pain, and discomfort is practically sensory overload, but he can absolutely keep physically fucking going even when he should've collapsed or been out for the count a long time ago. He has to, he doesn't see any other options, and it will absolutely catch up to his ass in so many fucking ways.

🍸 [COCKTAIL] When was the first time your OC had an alcoholic beverage? What did they think of it?

First time he came to visit the farm, so at seven years old. He thought it tasted like muddy hand sanitizer with some sugar in it and promptly spit taked right into his dad's lap which earned him some choice words and a shake down later.

He doesn't drink and doesn't feel inclined to, but that could certainly change given his new circumstances and something that's floated in the back of his head the few times he's tried some of Aunt Grace's wine— that it tasted pretty damn good. And he's seen the way she seems to relax, loosen up when she's drunk, opposite to the sort of simmering look his dad develops when he's down a couple cans of something that makes his nose wrinkle. (He doesn't know what a lush is, but he's sure to find out that Jake's going to call him one with so much fucking amusement, smiling ear to fucking ear the first time Spider gets proper drunk on the farm.)

🌱 [SEEDLING] What new passions/hates is your OC discovering?

Lord, this one— this fucking question is a big one, huh? Well, new passions, he's probably what could safely be considered addicted to sex; the intoxicating high of it, even if it's abuse, even if he Knows it's abuse, if something feels that fucking good the brain doesn't really give a shit, because when it's good it's Good, when it's bad it's Bad, and the actual term is Compulsive Sexual Behavior, but Spider doesn't really understand he's been groomed to hell and back to want all this shit, that he's being used to fulfill the pleasure of two other men. He's discovering a shitton of hates all in the same breath, he hates when Jake threatens Kiri, he hates when he talks about her the way he does, he hates how his dad talks about her, too. He hates how his soft pallette gets bruised, he hates when they're rough, he hates when he bleeds, he hates hiding the bruises like he's a little kid, he hates when he cries in the middle of it, he hates not being able to sleep unless he gets the insomnia fucked out of him. He hates how much everything has changed and yet nothing has at all— he hates how much everyone seems to look right through him and right at him at the same time; and he hates how every vaguely sexual reference and joke makes his cheeks flush and his brain leap into overdrive. He hates being a fucked up, disturbed kid that's infecting the farm the exact way they all never said to his face, but he knows they were thinking; that maybe they know his dad's fucked up like this and they just don't care because he was destined for this being who he is.

(He's very passionate about being a good student, a good son, the best fucking shot—

He hates how much he wants to kill himself seemingly out of the blue.

He hates how much he knows his dad would rip him right out of hell if he did.)

🌸 [CHERRY BLOSSOM] Does your OC believe in legends/myths?

I think he doesn't really know a lot of legends or myths yet aside from the ones his grandparents have told him, maybe even Quaritch (Bible stories here and there, fairytales and other stories about men who betray their basic principles, who turn their backs on everything they know, back stabbing traitors and meddling scientists, and projects involving soldiers memories, thoughts, and consciousness, everything that can go wrong when the good guys mix with bad circumstances, when they get painted in poor light because we all know Quaritch has that thin blue line sticker slapped on his truck's bumper, propaganda and jingoism out the ass.)

I like to think the Sully kids have told him some stories from the Omatikaya that he does his best to remember and spin in his head at night when he's anxious, that he even does his best to retell them around the fire. I also think he'd know some classic Appalachian folklore, too, stuff his grandparents have picked up since moving up to North Carolina that's blended with their roots in Southern Texas, in North Mexico before that.

I think he believes less in monsters wandering the hills, of strange lights flashing through the mountainside, of never whistling outside at night now and more in the monsters sharing his bed. Although he might think of the legends of those wearing the skin of people he loves and knows, of bodysnatchers trying to get close to him, devouring him whole when he's stuck between Jake and his dad as they all sleep.

🧁 [CUPCAKE] If you had to describe your OC using flavours, how would you (e.g., 'they're very sweet')?

Those first they're sour then they're sweet sour patch kids— or maybe the opposite, or maybe he just gets more sour; so sour he turns sweet.

🍩 [DONUT] What is your OC's biggest flaw? How do they deal with it? Do they deal with it?

Probably his inability to consider what he wants, needs, or feels and instead everything is filtered through how it'll make his dad feel, what his dad Wants, what his dad Needs. (What Jake Needs and Wants, too, because upsetting Jake will upset Dad and he can't have that— hates when it happens, can't stand when he's made his dad a mess and he just wants to fix it, apologize, avoid the hurt and pain of his consequences.) He doesn't even recognize it is something he's doing on a basic level, so he has no way to stop the way his mind has been wired to consider Dad in absolutely everything he does and will do; even at the detriment of his own life, soul, mind, and well-being.

🥔 [POTATO] What do they have that others see as a flaw, but they don't care about?

Chronic avoidance, like a cat that's never seen in the house by anyone, but absolutely lives there type of avoidance. Many people recognize and see that he's cagey about so many things, that he always has been, skittering off or deflecting with humor, a joke, a subject change or even doing something impulsive and unexpected to redirect everyone's attention. He doesn't see this as a problem, as the Socorro-Quaritch household's infamous unspoken motto, "if you can't see it, if you don't talk about it, it's not real."

Also the martyrdom, but no one quite recognizes this as a flaw except for Kiri, and perhaps the Socorros in some way due to the amount of times Spider's thrown himself under the bus and taken the blame for things he shouldn't.
