#13 toons countless ghost stories au

[hello-im-not-a-possum]

Yes

Okay so:

Feed the Ink or it'll Free Everyone (Basically a post escape AU where the themes are change for better and worse as well reflecting on past selves)'s Sammy has ups and downs that lead to him rebuilding himself and separating himself from the ink, but his attempts are... well, they worked but he really fucked himself over and up mentally and how his new body functions does not help.

-His 'hair' is dark brown in color.

-Past floor-length while loose, roughly knee-length while braided.

-Typically braided unless he's washing it or letting it loose during bedtime.

-Looks like normal hair of a regular texture, but feels gummy to the touch.

-Acts as a third arm while braided but doesn't move while loose.

-Instantly grows back if cut, but cutting it is very painful and distressing for him.

-Smells strongly of bleach and faintly of meat.

-He dislikes having his hair played with.

-The reason why it moves is because it's not actually hair, it's very very thin stands of flesh that resemble hair.

Meanwhile, in stark contrast to FIFE!Sam trying to distance himself from his god, A Secret Leak (post escape AU that kicks off because BATDR happened)'s Sammy double-triples down on the prophet and occult shenanigans and his 'human' form reflects that, but we're not talking about his humanity or uncanny valley-ity, we're talking about hair that moves and that its host can control to an extent.

-His 'hair' is pitch black in color.

-Knee length when loose, appears Mid-back length while tied up. (Mild toon logic is at play here)

-Is kept in a ponytail that uses his hair to tie itself up instead of a real hair tie while out and about and loose when at home.

-Looks like regular hair, is surprisingly soft and fluffy when tied up, but feels sharp, stringy, and slightly damp to the touch when loose.

-Benignly moves and acts with a mind of its own when he's not actively moving it himself, however it will reflect his emotions with its movement whether he wants it to or not. It doesn't move (for the most part) while tied up.

-Unable to be cut. Many pairs of scissors and some other sharp objects were damaged in the attempts to cut it.

-Smells strongly of ink and slightly of old paper.

-He doesn't mind if people play with it, 'musical hair' is a very unusual novelty of a blessing after all.

-The reason why it moves is because it's actually a (very large) collection of various instrument strings that are soaked in the prophet's cursed ink and have been used in a ritual. He has no recollection of making it himself and claims it's a blessing from his lord.

Lastly, 13 toons countless ghost stories (AU where Henry gets perfect toons and lives with them in a mansion built by ghosts)'s Sammy is *not* a physical entity but instead a restless spirit driven mostly by spite and an unsatable thirst for vengeance. While he does have calm/lucid moments, they're few and far between.

-His hair is transparent and dark brown.

-Ankle length, does not get tied up at all.

-Stays loose, but often gets tangled into knots. And sometimes, things are found in the knots; bullet casings, teeth that don't belong to human beings, clots of dried blood, small severed body parts, crumpled up music sheets, an ax, etc.

-Looks like hair texture-wise, when he's lucid/calm, his hair feels like you're sticking your hands into a bowl of ice water, and when he's mad it feels like submerging your hands in boiling oil.

-Moves like hair that's submerged underwater when he's calm, but when he sees someone who *might* be his murderer, it writhes and the locks move like extra arms, one of them swings the ax around like crazy while the others either reach for new weapons or attempt to strangle the 'murderer'.

-People need special ghost-proof scissors to cut it and it is very hard to cut the hair of a fury-driven ghost who's convinced you're trying to exorcise him.

-Doesn't have a smell.

-Hair is very rarely played with on account of being attached to a ghost who tries to kill everything that moves 90% of the time. During the other 10%, he's either zoning out or too focused on other things to mention whoever's playing with his hair, so it's hard to tell if he likes it or not.

-The reason why it moves is because it's made of the same stuff as the rest of his ghostly body, and that ghostly body assumes that one of the ways it died involved drowning, hence the watery movement of the hair.
