#Ellie the Sea Witch

[sbpstudios]

“Ellie if you win the @original-character-championship what will you do?”

She has no idea what this shit is. Please get off her lawn

[shidoukanae]

also now realizing there's a heavy possibility that the unknown event Daniel references where he asks Lyla "how are you going to find your happiness?" is the same event Helene references when she tells Lyla that Lyla "betrayed" her.

Coincidentally, that's probably the same event that allowed Helene to be manipulated by the Empress into turning against Lyla and might have been the cause of Daniel leaving Lyla (probably to find out how to awaken as a dragon so he could gain the power to take her away from her family faster? maybe even going so far as to try and compete w/ Paris for the throne if it means protecting Lyla?)

There's also a suspicious gap of time from when Helene was poisoned to when she told Lyla to get away from her that has been omitted. And considering baby Lyla cries about Helene not wanting to be with her anymore...and that same baby Lyla is seen hugging Daniel in the unexplored scene...Lyla what the fuck did you do to Helene to embitter her like this?

witch costume!reader x ellie williams

summary ⋆ ellie is normally very good at keeping her cool in public, but the way your tits look in that tight witch dress... god, it's like you put a love spell on her.

warnings ⋆ 1.70k ⋆ halloween smut, tried not to describe the outfit too much i hate that shit too but i had to for the plot my bad yall, ellie LOVESSS tits, car sex, subbyish ellie, pet names (babe), choking (e!receiving), getting caught :(

it was chilly, just as every halloween night that you could remember since you were a kid. you remember long sleeves under your princess costume and a puffy jacket once the night was over to keep you warm in the barren cold. you can reminisce fondly now and thank your parents for keeping you warm unlike back then when you thought they were trying to ruin your costume. however, your parents didn't take you out for halloween anymore, so you had no one to follow you around with a coat and reprimand you until you wore leggings under your dress.

you knew you would be cold when you found the simple black, velvety dress, choosing it since you knew you'd wear it more than once and your hard earned money wouldn't go to waste. it was simple, no broom stick or book of spells to go with the outfit, only a small witch's hat headband and the hope that one of the buttons didn't rip open when you took a deep breath. okay, maybe you got a size too small in your haste to find a halloween costume for the stupid party you had to attend with your girlfriend. it would do, right? you could just go exchange it in the morning for a larger size and in the mean time pray that you wont pass out from the lack of air flowing to your lungs.

you did have to admit though, the tightness of the dress accentuated your features, highlighting the best aspects of your body, more than just a little bit of cleavage being shown. you didn't have time to complain or admire your dress though, already far too late. you finished getting ready, a pair of thigh highs to complete the witchy vibe, fixing your makeup to be just right, a pair of shoes that were sure to give you blisters. by the time you had arrived at the party, people were already drunk. you fought the urge to roll your eyes, looking through the sea of intoxicated mindless college students, trying to find your lovely girlfriend who made you come to this shit show.

you spotted her in one of the corners, dina and jesse by her side. and of course they were wearing a cringey couple costume, a bold 's' on dina's white shirt and a bold 'p' on jesse's black shirt. you laughed to yourself, shaking your head as you pushed through the crowd to make it to them. ellie caught your eyes from across the room, dorky smile on her face to accompany her dork costume. she wore a batman shirt along with an attached cape, on brand for her. when you got closer, ellie could see what you chose to wear, her eyes widening as her eyes roamed over you. was it hot in there or was it just ellie?

in a matter of moments you were at her side, her heart beating out of her chest at the way you looked. she always said she had the prettiest girlfriend in the world, and tonight, you were proving it. she couldn't take her eyes off you, even as you leaned in to give a small kiss on the cheek to greet her. "wow... just wow." ellie finally speaks up, her hand that wasn't holding an alcoholic beverage finding the curve of your waist. you laugh, amused at her dorky reaction. "i got a size too small, do you think it's noticeable?" you inquired, smoothing out the wrinkles on the dress with your palm.

"it's, well, i mean, i don't..." she stutters over her words, this time earning laughs from jesse and dina. she didn't hear their laughs though, her heartbeat too loud in her ears. "it's fine, yeah, fine." she swallows, squeezing your waist slightly. it was no doubt that you were a very attractive woman and ellie made sure you knew that always. "i mean, beautiful. you look beautiful. not fine, beautiful." her words gave you butterflies in your stomach, even if she did butcher them at first. "smooth, ellie. real smooth." dina chimes in, big grin on her face from watching her friend try to flirt.

"shut up. the ladies love me." she protests, squeezing your waist even tighter and taking a sip of her drink. maybe she just needed some liquid courage. "ladies? plural?" you question, teasing her for her cocky attitude. "lady. lady! obviously just you. obviously. if any other girl wanted me, well, i'd just have to drop kick them, y'know babe?" you can't help the snort laugh that comes out of you at her nervous attempt to smooth things over. normally she was so calm and collected around you, but right now, she couldn't even think straight. the only thing she could think about was your tits and how good they looked in that dress.

the way the fabric hugged them, watching your chest rise and fall as you breathed. with each breath you took, they threatened to spill out. god, ellie just wanted to leave marks all over your chest. you could see clear as day that ellie was staring. the way she was ogling at you was making you confident and maybe a little horny. time went on, talking with some people, getting your own alcoholic drink (because what's a halloween party without getting drunk), even convincing ellie to dance with you. and still, the whole time, ellie was mesmerized by you.

it was well after midnight, jesse and dina no where to be found. "of course," ellie thinks to herself. they always disappeared when it was time to leave. ellie didn't want to wait any longer, leading you to the car. you told her you could just take an uber, same as how you got here, but she protested that she could take you home. the two of you waited in the car, ellie fiddling with the aux after texting jesse you were waiting in the car for them. the window was rolled down, reminding you of the chilly october breeze. you rolled the window back up, not wanting to catch a cold.

you stared at your window, watching kids with their parents roam around with their costumes and buckets of candy. you wanted that to be you and ellie one day. however, while you were thinking of ellie wholesomely, she was still drooling over your tits. i mean, you were alone now, a few marks wouldn't hurt anyone. "hey. you wanna, y'know?" she smiles awkwardly as she nods her head to the backseat. "just until dina and jesse get their asses out here." she continues on, trying her hardest to convince you to make out with her right now. she wanted to taste you on her lips.

you rolled your eyes at her feeble attempt to convince you but somehow her loser charm worked on you. and before you knew it, you were both in the backseat, grinding down on ellie as she kissed your neck and chest. pants and heavy breaths filled the car, half-assed moans falling from both of your lips. "your tits look so good. like.. fuck, babe." she rambled, leaving the marks she craved to leave all night on the exposed skin of your breast. "this dress is incredible." she continued on, just praising your entire existence at this point. "would look even better off though." she smiled like a nerd.

"dina and jesse will be here soon..." you tried to weakly protest, not making any effort to stop her as she unbuttons the dress. your tits immediately spilled out, and suddenly being able to breathe better. "they're probably somewhere fucking." ellie counteracted, not wasting a second to put her mouth on your nipples. you gripped her shoulders, grinding your hips down onto hers and cursing under your breath. you were so sensitive, craving ellie in a way you hadn't before. maybe it was a full moon, but then again it didn't really matter. all that mattered was ellie tongue gliding over your supple skin.

"i could cum just from looking at you." her voice is raspy, becoming drunk on your taste. "really?" you moan out, hands exploring ellie's body and sliding underneath her shirt. her skin was so warm, so inviting. "'course, babe." she mumbles, too focused on marking up your perfect body. "i need you so bad." you admitted, bringing one of yoru exploring hands up to her neck. she looks up at you, eyes almost rolling back at the notion of you choking her. she presses her lips against yours, her hand fumbling to find it's way under your dress and into your panties. she ran her fingers through your folds before pressing against your clit.

you moaned into the kiss, moving your hips with no rhythm to desperately feel the pleasure you crave. you pull away, eagerly lifting ellie's stupid batman shirt over her head to reveal her sports bra. you dragged your hand down her body, starting at her neck all thw way down to the button of her jeans, all while careless whines fall from your swollen lips. it was your turn to leave marks now, doing your best to keep your focus as you put your lips on her neck. "fuck, babe. this is so hot." ellie licked her lips and tilted her head back to really enjoy your kisses. her fingers never stop, working at your clit like that was their only job.

the windows of the car started to fog now, past hand prints from previous moments like this reappearing and being lewdly illuminated from the moon. just when you were about to unbutton ellie's pants, there was a knock on the window, pulling you both out of your blissful state. it was hard to see through clouded over windows, but the recognizable white shirt with an 's' on it made both you and ellie's heart rates pick up. ellie hand was out of your underwear faster than it went in. frantically, you rebuttoned your dress and ellie struggled to get her shirt back on. "of fucking course." ellie grumbled, and you were thinking the same exact thing. oh well, maybe next time, or maybe on the car ride home if ellie was feeling bold.

IkeVil OC Amelia

More about her under the cut!

Name: Amelia (real name unknown)

Age: 24

Birthday: 10/31

Curse: Sea Witch (but she keeps it hidden from the others)

Her curse allows her to make trades with people, those who make a deal with her have to pay a fair price. They must offer something valuable to her, and deception doesn't work, her curse allows her to know what a person considers valuable.

Whenever her curse activates her eyes and her fingertips turn black, when a deal is made between her and someone else, a “string” is formed, uniting both parties. She uses her nail to sever the thread, meaning there is no going back. Over the course of days or weeks, depending what they wished for, events will happen to make their wish come true. And so will the debt, sooner or later it will catch up to them. Most people end up losing more than they thought they would, some out right lied to her, some didn’t realize how much value something (or someone) had to them.

Backstory: She is an immigrant, she and her parents had to flee from their original country because people were hunting them down because of her curse. She was born into a simple village, and when she discovered her curse, she used it to help the people of her village. The wishes were simple, and the price was low, everyone was happy and they loved her and her family.

But as they grew comfortable, the demands started to grow. And so did the price they had to pay. Culminating in the death of one of the villagers, from this point forward, people grew more afraid and resentful of her. They tried to set her family's house on fire, and they had to flee somewhere far away.

That's how they arrived in England. She heard that there were people like her there, that's why she wanted to become a Fairytale Keeper.

She works and sleeps at the castle, taking one day a week off to visit her parents.

Personality: Amelia is a reserved and serious person. She doesn’t talk much but is polite with everyone, she is always smiling at people, but it’s a lonely smile. She has trust issues because of her past and she prefers to keep other people at a distance, even if she likes them and considers them friends, she still doesn’t let people too close. She thinks she is unecessary, so she is happy just to see other people being happy and enjoying their lives.

Amelia makes an effort to not be included in things the residents do, for example, if it’s a party, she helps with the preparations, cooking, decorations, but when it’s time for the actual party, she excuses herself and goes to her room or to town alone, because she doesn’t want to be a bother.

Some random headcanons:

She didn’t get along with Ellis at first;

She hates when people say they love her without actually mean it;

She doesn’t trust Harrison at first, and doesn’t like talking to him, since he can tell if people are lying or not;

Cooking is one of her love languages. Gifts too, she likes to make handamade stuff;

I'll add more stuff about her as I think and write it. But that's the basics about her.

Jude Jazza x cursed!MC

this is a preview for an upcoming fic I'm working on! consider this like the prologue for rn ig? pg13 for swearing, violence (eventual fic is rated M). full fic/parts coming soon?? mdni!!

full credit goes to @natimiles for the images! 💜

In which the one with the curse of the thirteenth fairy and the curse of the sea witch embark on a dangerous mission, tempting their fates with the even more dangerously thin line between love and hate.

tw's: violence, mc and jude have a little too much in common, rivals/enemies to lovers, probably not the healthiest relationship (wbk), + the usual ikevil crimes

"To what do I owe the pleasure?" Jude examines me as I enter his office, displeasure clear as day on his features at my arrival. Leaning back in his chair, he takes a slow drag from his cigarette, exhaling as if to tolerate my presence. "If you're looking to strike a deal, ya better make it worth my damn time."

"Oi, I'm just here to collect for that favor you owe me from last time. Don't go getting cocky, fairy man." I rub at my neck, jawline set and vein nearly visible above my brow. I lean across his desk and steal the cigarette from between his fingers, relishing in his scowl as I mimic his earlier motions.

The smirk on his face fades at my comment about him being a “fairy”, clearly not enjoying the new nickname. He glares darkly as a vein in his neck protrudes, infuriated by my audacity.

“Watch it. Call me that again and I'll show you just how much of a ‘fairy’ I am,” he says, voice dripping with venom. “I could snap your spine, or anyone else's for that matter, in two. Just like that.” At this, he snaps his fingers for emphasis.

"It's literally your fuckin' curse, but go off, I guess," I mutter, staring at the wall incredulously. As Jude suffers from the curse of the Thirteenth Fairy, I suffer from the curse of the Sea Witch. My power allows for control over water and my curse makes me covet things not already in my possession, making contracts to try and win those things over from others. Hence why Jude and I are bitter rivals, as the resident businessfolk of the motley Crown crew.

"Touchy subject, jeez. Alright," I huff, turning to head out. "I'll be back in two days' time to collect both you and Ellis for the official mission and send word if we find any location leads before then."

Jude listens with a scowl on his face, his jaw clenched tightly. If he didn't already have white hair, working with that sea such witch would've given him a whole new head of grays.

“Tch, I'll be waiting for your call, Mermaid.” He mutters lowly, clearly still seething.

With a smirk, I leave my parting words hanging in the air behind me. "Looking forward to finally knocking some sense into that bastard who's been evading us, though." And with that, the door shuts, leaving Jude alone in his office with his thoughts.

He leans back in his chair and kicks his feet back up onto his desk, putting his hands back behind his head and closes his eyes. Jude lights a fresh cigarette (one that blasted mermaid wannabe won't blatantly steal off his lips this time), and exhalales into the office, his only accompaniment in the darkness the tapping of his shoes and the smoke that remains thick in the air. Thick like the tension before a big mission; and a big mission they were about to embark on.

A little something different!

I used to be a TOTAL bookworm as a kid, then sort of lost it for a decade or so, then in about 2016/17 I decided to start reading more (& also moved closer to a library & got in the habit of using it).

Fast forward 7ish years and I'm back in the habit of reading & am devouring stacks of books per year, with 2023 being my most ridiculous one yet. I somehow ended up reading 120 books? Mostly because I'm terrible at managing my library holds list & kept getting stacks of books I really wanted to read (I'm also lucky to be a really fast reader, which helps).

HONEY-CRYPT'S WRITE-TOBER (DAY 8)

★ broomstick

★ imagine elliott forming a relationship with witch!farmer and getting invited to ride their broomstick for the first time!

★ he would be shaking like a leaf when he hops on it, he doesn't quite understand how a broomstick can fly while supporting the weight of one person... let alone two people. and elliott was a pretty beefy guy under all his pretty clothes.

★ “are you sure this will work?" he asks the farmer. they nod to him and reassure them that they had strong enough magic to maintain the broomstick's speed with them on it, "i got this! this will be fun!"

★ elliott nearly gets his mini ellies smashed by the sudden upward thrust of the broomstick against his pelvis, quickly wrapping his arms around the farmer's waist

★ the pair fly over the many sights of stardew valley, such as the gem sea and the mountain summit; elliott is awestruck by the view… as well as the company

★ they fly for about half an hour before the farmer lands them at the beach, elliott almost pukes from the descend

★ “you HAVE to let me fly with you again!” he would beg the farmer, “that was simply magnificent!”

The Witch of the Joshua Ward House

The town of Salem, Massachusetts is no stranger to macabre record and disturbing legends, but for the first time perhaps something belonging to the towns supernatural facet has been caught on camera.

The Joshua Ward House has stood in mute witness to a dark history. The Georgian/Federal style building was constructed by Joshua Ward, a wealthy merchant sea captain, in the late 1780s on the remaining foundations of former sheriff George Corwin’s house on Washington Street. Corwin was a bloody figure whose zeal added to the unfortunate events surrounding Salem in the late 1600s. Nicknamed The Strangler after his preferred torture modus operandi (which included tying his prone victims’ necks to their ankles until the blood ran from their noses), he is said to be responsible for many of the witches deaths, including that of Giles Corey, a man who stood accused of witchcraft who Corey crushed to death by placing heavy stones on his chest in order to extract a confession. Despite the horrific treatment Corey never confessed, indeed he is said to have implored his torturers to pile on more rocks and hasten his departure.

Legend states that just before he died, Corey cursed Corwin and all sheriffs that follow in his wake for his despicable acts of barbarism. It should be noted here that every sheriff since Corey uttered his curse had died while in office or had been forced out of his post as the result of a heart or blood ailment. Corwin himself died of a heart attack in 1696, only about four years after the end of the trials. By the time of his death, Corwin was so despised that his family had to bury him in the cellar of their house to avoid desecration of the corpse by the public.

In the early 1980s a real estate company named Carlson Realty had bought the house with the intention of turning it into their headquarters. After moving in, a realtor by the name of Dale Lewinski began the task of taking photographs of the staff members to add to a welcome display. Lewinski was using a Polaroid camera to snap the head-and-shoulders, passport-style pictures. Upon photographing a colleague by the name of Lorraine St. Peter a peculiar sight greeted Lewinski.

The Polaroid was developed and, instead of showing St. Peter, it appeared to depict a frightening image: a strange, black-haired, feminine figure. St. Peter was nowhere to be seen, the photograph has not been cropped at all; St. Peter has been entirely replaced by the apparition.

This reproduction was originally published in the book Haunted Happenings by Robert Ellis Cahill (himself an ex-sheriff) in which he describes St. Peter as “both genuinely frightened and embarrassed by the picture.”

A hoax is of course, always possible, but unnecessary considering the rich nature of other paranormal occurrences that are reported to take place within the Joshua Ward House: aportation (objects moving of their own accord), candles that leap from their holders and subsequently melt, candles that are found bent into S shapes, alarms that go off by themselves (one alarm was triggered over sixty times in two years), phantom strangulations and the sightings of a myriad spirits including an elderly-looking spirit sitting by a fireplace and along with the photograph in questions subject, another ghostly woman roams the upper floors.

One room in particular seems to be more haunted than the rest. An employee would lock her office door nightly only to return in the morning to find books and papers thrown across the floor, the wastebasket upside down and lamp shades askew.

Sheriff Corwin’s body was eventually moved to the Broad Street Cemetery, but it is said that his spirit too lingers in the Ward House.

It is truly a bizarre photograph, certainly containing a degree of menace and so starkly strange as to create fright in the onlooker, especially upon first viewing.

Ballad of the Sea Witch

It was by pure chance, Ellie knew that now. Fate was never in play, she just happened to be at the right place at the right time.

Of course, back then. She had no way of knowing this. She had no idea what the undine’s offer really meant.

She was promised adventure, glory and stories to tell.

She was what? Fourteen. Young, not at all wise enough to see this for the trick it was in truth. She was a fool.

A fool that took the undine’s hand and followed it to a land right out of the fairytales she grew up reading and wishing she could live.

Truly it was like a fairytale. She was a chosen hero meant to protect the world from monsters. Like all the other people of the order she was welcomed too with open arms and hearts.

She reveled in the power over the seas and streams and springs of this fairy world. She would spend hours practicing, honing her skills.

She wondered if when she went home, she would get to keep this magic.

She used to dream about showing off her power to her family and friends. And that cute girl next door.

“We don’t get to go home.” one of the older chosen ones told her. The sorrow behind his eyes, the sorrow etched in his face. “Nobody has ever left this place. Once they steal you away, they never give you back.”

She remembers how he held her when she wept. Screaming how that couldn’t be right, how that couldn’t be true.

She doesn’t remember a whole lot after that. Her days started to blur together. Only the overwhelming hurt being clear. It was then she gained her reputation, as the strongest chosen one of Weeping Heart.

The name of the order is accurate. She noticed early that the experienced ones were always sad.

She sees why now.

She wonders if the name is intentional on Their part. Although the answer hardly matters.

She remembers the moment she fell. The way she let herself sink into the sea once she couldn’t feel anything anymore. When all her tears ran dry.

Her time as a true monster is even more of a blur. She didn’t need to think, really. Salmon monsters don’t need to think.

She remembers back home, she watched a documentary on salmon. Their drive to return to where they were born, how they would turn into monstrous things, and when they finally came to the end of their journey they would die.

It’s funny how that’s what she became.

It’s sad the thought that even if she found a way home. She may very well die.

It took a long time. Too come to her senses again. To remember who she was before. What all she lost.

But it was worth it. She hopes.

She remembers washing on shore. Gasping for air. She wasn’t a fish monster anymore. But she certainly wasn’t human again either.

She thought about some of those old fairy tales. The mermaid who gave up her voice for legs to chase the chance of getting an eternal soul. Or the princess cursed to be a swan by day, but by night and by lake water, turned human again.

They were her favorite stories growing up.

They were both tragedies.

How funny is it? That she’s living those old fairy tales. All their pain included.

She didn’t have it in her to be bitter. Those old stories were one of the few things she had tying her back home. And she wasn’t about to lose anything else.

She remembers the chosen ones sent after her.

She remembers her first kill. And her second, and her third, fourth, fifth.

She started losing track after chosen one number twelve.

She pitted every last one of them. They were fools like her, weren’t they? They hadn’t a clue what being a ‘chosen one’ really meant for them. That they could end up like her too, couldn’t they?

But just because she pitted them, doesn’t mean she would let herself die.

They started to call her “The Sea Witch”.

She laughed when she heard the Wild Hunt chosen call her that.

She almost cried when she killed him.

But she has no more tears to shed.

Monsters don’t cry.

ADDITIONAL INFO.

history :

victoria was thirteen years old when she first met the witch who would change her life, ms. marjorie ellis. she became the benefactor of the young girl, funding her private school education and eventually introducing her to one hudson king, another witch. the pair instantly hit it off, growing incredibly close in a very short time. it was as though they had always known each other, every conversation an easy one. it was never anything near romantic, but there was no denying that they’d found a soulmate in one another.

a few weeks following her high school graduation, victoria’s parents were found murdered in their home. she’d discovered the bodies herself, a sight she wouldn’t soon forget. marjorie took her in immediately, with hudson right there to comfort his dear friend. 

two years later and victoria had moved in with hudson, committing to being his familiar. it would be three years until tragedy struck again in the form of victoria’s own murder.

it was at the peak of their bonded companionship that hudson found himself craving more power, a desire that slowly began to corrupt him. it wouldn’t be long until he came across a ritual that would provide him the power he desperately sought. its cost? his familiar. he didn’t even hesitate in his preparations, making the apology uttered just before knocking victoria out that much more cruel.

TW GRAPHIC MURDER DESCRIPTION:

victoria awoke to the pain of her chest being cut open, hudson ignoring her screams even as his left hand closed around her heart. with his right, he slowly slit her throat, silencing her cries as she began to suffocate on her own blood. he never released her heart, watching the life drain from her face even as he felt the very last beat of vital organ. he immediately moved her into a shallow grave.

TW OVER

two weeks victoria lay dead in the ground before suspicions arose from the one soul left to care for her. once realizing something was wrong, it didn’t take long for marjorie to locate the young woman’s too soon resting place. a tracking spell performed on victoria’s late mother’s ring, as she never took the piece off. a ring that would quickly become the host of a cloaking and glamouring spell meant to keep her hidden from hudson. 

in addition to the spell, she chose a new name for herself. victoria marie blake had died, after all. scout victoria ellis, surname taken from the woman who saved her, was born. she would spend the next two years trying to heal from the trauma of her murder and relearning the who she was without a witch. she was free, and with marjorie’s blessing and promise of protection, she set out to find more of her kind.

more coming soon…..
