payneland neighbors AU

(a.k.a. one of my million WIPs that may actually be seeing the light of day)

edwin is an Alive Boy, who has had a near-death experience being bullied while he was at school, so he can now see ghosts.

charles is a Dead Boy, who is starting a detective agency out of his new flat, which happens to be next door to edwin's.

edwin does not realize charles is a ghost at first.

they are mutually down bad and trying hard (and failing) to be normal about it.

pining and shenanigans ensue.

should be able to get this posted to Ao3 sometime later today as chapter 1/? of who knows how many because apparently payneland has made me that person with multiple multichapter WIPs, lmao ~*~*~

Edwin does not think about his new neighbor across the hall.

(Said new neighbor's name, it will turn out, is Charles.

And Edwin most certainly does not fixate on the compelling glint of Charles' single earring in the sun, or the curve of his smile so easily offered.)

The story of it is this: Edwin had held the door to their building for him one fine spring day. Simple politeness, and moreover basic human decency, both dictated this was the proper thing to do for someone carrying such an absurd quantity of unwieldy parcels.

He had not expected the stranger to look so taken aback.

(He had an honest-to-goodness crystal ball propped precariously atop a stack of antique-looking books; and those teetered on top of several cardboard boxes near buckling under the weight of whatever they held within. A cricket bat protruded from the pin-encrusted rucksack slung over his shoulder. People did insist on having such incongruous pastimes, Edwin thought; and, apparently, atrocious packing habits to go along with them.

But the titles of the volumes Edwin managed to glimpse were as intriguing as the crystal ball was misguided—and he'd found himself rather helplessly curious.

"Cheers, mate!" the person he will soon know to be Charles had said, sounding obscenely grateful as he manouevred his way inside, and had flashed Edwin a grin so radiant and wide it hurt Edwin's cheeks in sympathy just to look at it.

Still, Edwin tried to think no more on him; nor on how surprised he'd appeared to be at Edwin's tiny show of kindness—at Edwin's perceiving him at all, even. Tried being the operative word.)

He'd been aware Jenny was letting the rooms across the hall, because she asked him several weeks ago if he might know any potential tenants. Edwin had informed her he did not. His last neighbor had listened to ungraciously-loud electropop at all hours of the night and harbored a seemingly endless stream of stray cats despite Jenny's very clear policy against animals.

Edwin would far prefer the space to stay blessedly vacant and blissfully quiet for as long a stretch as possible. He deserved some sort of a reprieve, he'd thought.

it seems he is not about to get one.

Edwin is reading when he hears a muffled string of colorful swearing, the lugging of things, the scraping of furniture across hardwood floors. While he may be able to studiously avoid thinking about the beautiful boy he'd met downstairs, Edwin cannot escape the inevitable and inconvenient fact that they will now be living in proximity. The telltale commotion that can only be made by someone moving in comes right to his proverbial stoop.

Who else could it be but him?

Edwin sighs. The only thing for it, he supposes, is to go over and introduce himself.

Can I just say I could not fuckin breathe during this whole scene

It feels like all of Tubbo's ""settings"" have been turned to 11. Like his emotions are super high. His hearing seems to be super high. His reactions. Things ability to catch his attention. Ect.

hey I have something in my mind, can you help me? a lot of people say binghe was going to confess after the immortal conference but I don't remember anything about that in the novel? i'm asking you cause you're the svsss encyclopedia for me 🙇🙇

omg i'm so flattered to be the svsss encyclopedia! I'm always happy to be someone's canon consultant lol

binghe planning to confess after the immortal alliance conference is just a common headcanon! there's nothing in the novel that says this is his plan, though there are some things that point to it making sense -- binghe is very confident about his place in his shizun's affections in this point and pretty blatantly flirty about it (at least blatant to anyone who isn't shen qingqiu). consider the "am I pleasing to look at?" bit. he's seventeen at this point, and he probably thinks that's Adult Enough (it is not, but good try binghe) so it would make sense if he was planning to use the conference as a way to prove himself as a cultivator and prove he's worthy to court shen qingqiu. so it's not canon, but it's a headcanon that makes sense in the context of canon! I can't help but wonder what would've happened if the abyss incident never happened and he'd actually succeeded in confessing...

bc of my maka nightcore post ive been thinking a lot abt what music the characters would like and i am convinced ive figured it out… sorta.

soul & tsubaki like jazz and i refuse to change that, they are THE jazz for your soul meme, but soul also really likes just about anything so maka is thoroughly SHOCKED he cannot handle something like nightcore

Tsubaki also loves her vocaloid music. she’s a proud hatsune miku supporter and has dragged blackstar down into hatsune hell with her. i imagine vocaloid is what they play for group study sessions when they need music

I like to think Blackstar talks big but his music is actually full of j-pop , musical theatre , and a hint of whatever else everyone else listens to. His playlist is potentially the scariest of everyones bc there is a high chance this guy listen’s to never gonna give you up unironically and this time is the peak of rickrolling so watch ur Back.

Patty is a huge supporter of death metal and rock. On the other hand, she too is a nightcore fan but only nightcore of my little pony friendship is magic songs. somehow that feels right

Liz and Kid actually uhm share a music taste they share rap, lotus juice and some pop. they also generally r easily going to cry at movie instrumentals bc they r SO PRETTY (and who can BLAME them???)

crona nightcore supporter but like also supporter of the fucked up vocaloid songs. like yk the ones that kikuo makes or okaa-san and what not. but maka has definitely converted crona into how to be a heartbreaker nightcore superiority and it has tainted how crona learns how to enjoy pop music now (soul is DYING in the background)

is this real no is it my headcanons now yes

I'm really getting sick of these auto playing, loud AF ads on mobile

Not used to drawing bots that are So Very Car but here's my first time drawing jazz

i think max really doubles down on learning to drive after halloween night , s/t about the very real fear of Going off the Road in the middle of the night is so motivating ,

Probably just the likely PMDD (and I am keeping a system journal ahead of my appointment on Tuesday) but every time I am watching tv on the couch and a member of my family walks in and turns on the lights I want to commit violence. They’re not even coming into the room to do anything, they just think that I should have the lights on and don’t ask, they just do.

The voice Brennan does for tracker when she’s possessed in the Nightmare Forest is absolutely horrific

Excited Wil is back. Extremely not excited to see he hasn't grown out of his "LOUD NOISE = FUNNY" phase :(

Got to explain who Bram Stoker was to two friends of mine who haven't seen BSD and their reactions to the guy who's just a torso on a sword were hilarious.

For example:

1.

Q. How does he get around at all?

A. He usually has someone to carry him around. At the moment it's a 10 year old girl.

---

Q. Could you attach him to a segway, and could he get around on that by leaning forward?

A. I literally have no idea. Does anyone here know how much mobility Bram has?

---

Q. Are there any ships with the sword man?

A. Not that I'm aware of. (If anyone has any I'm willing to hear lol)

---

Q. (My personal favourite) Could you attach him to a roomba and have him get around on that.

A. Yes.
