"It's September."

[where-are-the-spooky-gays-2]

hii considering youre the dukexiety guy, do you think you could help me understand the appeal of the ship? /gen

im just generally not too into ships but i really wanna understand them, even if i don't end up liking them soo... could you give me your dukexiety thesis? im so curious

-🌠

Heyo! I, the Dukexiety Guy™ can certainly try due to mostly being experienced in unintentionally converting people so this should be fun XD /light hearted (Quick note before I begin even if you don't end up shipping them that's completely valid I know it's not everyone's cup of tea I still had a good time with this and if you do I'm honored I was able to help <3) Now first things first:

• Vee's iconic "Purple and Green seem to go together" quote from Fitting In (Pretty self-explanatory us Dukexiety shippers frame that quote in every room and make it our motto cause he's absolutely correct)

• Their functions (Ree tends to effect Vee the most therefore making him the biggest lil shit to get his Emo's attention all the time)

• Canonically have the same music tastes (Both have MCR on their Spotify playlists and the added bonus of Ree having a Queen song on his and Vee's having an MCR & The Used cover of a Queen song they vibe together Your Honor <3)

• Both love Horror/Spooky stuff (They are the Spooky Gays and they can and will make it known to the others that it's Halloween)

• Both love scaring people (They are lil shit4lil shit /light hearted)

• Both wear eyeshadow (They absolutely do each other's makeup)

• Ree's fond smile at Vee while he's monologuing about how he's not scared of him anymore (L O O K at him that chaotic Duke is in L O V E)

• Vee's smile when Ree says "You Tickle Me Emo" (He L O V E S him and he knows it)

• Don't think I need to explain this

• Ree's excitement on getting Vee for Secret Santa (He handcrafted him a gift with L O V E and made their son Mr. Fuzzy and of course Vee oddly knowing what that ball of chaos names his shower drain)

• Their spots are next to each other (They can hold hands and be near each other whenever they want during meetings <3)

• They have a wide dynamic (Literally anything can go either way for them like you can put them in any situation and it just works examples: Who confessed, Who gave the first kiss, Who's the flirt and who's the flustered, Who's the tallest and who's the shortest (If you have those types of hcs), Who's the first to use a petname, Who gets the other into their hobbies, etc.)

• Both of their animal associations are 8 limbed creatures (Kraken and Spidey with the hilarious bonus of fandom giving them the opposite Rat and Cat)

• And last but not least because this is already long enough as it is: They have a history and most likely know each other like the back of their hands if quizzed <3

[hangeslefteye]

HAHAH if you’re going to send me the whole alphabet obviously I’m going to send it back (if you’re comfortable and able! Of course it’s a lot so feel free to pick and choose or ignore!!) but could I get the alphabet for Reiner?? 👀👀👀👀 I love how you write him xoxoxo

Thx for the ask <3 Aaah Rei <3 Everyone's fave :D I support bi Reiner supremacy so I made it gender natural I hope y'all like it <3

Reiner-NSFW Alphabet

A for Aphrodisiac [What always turns them on?]

I hate to write this but any type of physical touch -including hugs,pecks- would make him a little hard but especially so if their s/o is unaware of that.

B for Bondage [Who gets tied up and how?]

Him xD He doesn't mind getting tied with a leather belt,rope etc. I can't imagine him going in for crazy BDSM type of bondage but hands/wrists will do great.

C for Cuddling [How do they cuddle after sex?]

A teddy bear </3 Cuddles are a must after sex and he's the type to lay on his s/o's chest/stomach.

D for Dirty [How do they dirty talk? What do they say?]

Ummm,Let's say he's trying his best :D He really does but it ends up hilarious so he gave up andd... he'd just praise his s/o's body on how tight they are,how big boobs/ass they got etc. (even if it's not <3)

E for Exposed [What is the most daring place they’ve had sex?]

I can't imagine him too adventurous with this one but he'd appreciate beach/forest/outdoor sex.He's in as long as it's somewhere romantic but somewhat private aswell.

F for Favorite [What do they find sexiest about their partner?]

Honestly,it's enough of a turn on if he's with the person he likes </3 So their partner being unapologetically themselves is enough. I'd say sincerity? İf it makes sense.He wouldn't be in for porn star type of fake effort.

G for Graceful [What is the weirdest position they’ve tried?]

He just manhandles his s/o into whatever position he feels like xD While he's unaware, his partners are pulling off acrobatic oral sex positions xD

H for Hands [What do they do with their hands during sex?]

Caressing.Caressing everywhere his hands can reach.He's quite touchy-feely when having sex.

I for Imagination [What do they fantasize about?]

Pegging xD When he feels comfy in a relationship he'll let their s/o know :)

J for Jazz [What’s their go-to sexy song/playlist?]

I made one already.

K for Kink [What’s their secret kink?]

Edging/Orgasm denial/ruining.Their s/o must discover it themselves or else he won't speak about it :)

L for Lingerie [What kind of underwear do they like to wear or have their partner wear?]

He's quite comfy with his body so he's the type to wear theme boxers/underwear on special days such as valentines day/halloween etc. And he'd love it if his partner went along but usually a simple lingerie -black- will do fine he's not picky.

M for Moan [What kind of noises do they make? What sounds do they like to hear from their partner?]

A whimperer amen He needs to hear his s/o moaning/whimpering to make sure he's doing an ok job but if his s/o praises him...he's a goner <3

N for Night [What time of day do they prefer to have sex and why?]

Anytime.He wouldn't like routine sex so always night/day would bore him.He'd initiate sex on different times to make it exciting.

O for Oral [Giving or receiving? Why?]

He's a giver y'all.He'd enjoy praising after a good cunnilingus more than having a bj himself.

P for Position [What is their favorite position(s) and why?]

Mating press Aside from any position that allows him to hold his s/o on air; face to face positions such as lotus.Seeing their s/o's mimics would turn him on even more and he likes intimacy.

Q for Quickie [How would they have sex if they’re in a hurry?]

Umm I don't think he'd like quickies he'd be more into slow,sensual sex but if his s/o wants he can go for it.

R for Role Play [What is their role-playing fantasy?]

Escort fantasy xD He's simply the type to have this fantasy xDD But I doubt if he could do it with a real escort.He'd like to act as if it's a meaningless,hook up sex.

S for Sexy [What would they do/wear to turn on their partner?]

Foreplay out of nowhere,that'll lead up to nowhere disguised as affection xD He loves getting edged and edging his partners.İf he's in the mood he can keep it going for days just to stop right before sex.

T for Trust [How would they implement rough sex or kinks?]

He'd be chatty about his kinks but rough sex would just happen in a moment when he's too horny to hold back.He'd feel guilty afterwards because he knows he should have spoken about it.

U for Under [Who’s in charge and how?]

He's a switch.He'd get bored of being submissive or dominant all the time.

V for Voyeur [What do they like to watch their partner do?]

He'd adore his s/o when they are asleep in their undergarments or...just naked.He somewhat intrusively likes seeing them vulnerable.

W for Wet [How would they have sex in the shower?]

He'd love it but he's clumsy xD Shower rug is a must <3

X for X-Rated [What kind of porn do they watch or read?]

Possibly gay or maybe a mixed group.

Y for Yummy [How would they involve food/drinks?]

This is a hard one xD Let's say plain old chocolate sticks.

Z for Zipper [How do they prefer to undress? Both themselves and their partner.]

Both as slow as possible D: He'd want to savor the moment.Also he's the type to enjoy clothed foreplay such as grinding.

Afternotes:He'd be a natural but a passionate one for sure <3

You don't have to answer this but I wanted to let you know you got me super invested in SunxEclipse stuff.

The way they are in the show has always intrigued me. Like the way those two interacted had always felt different in a way??? And I'd always get all excited when I found little similarities between the two characters.

Rambling a bit but does anyone remember how in the Halloween takeover Eclipse forced Moon to go through the same pain Sun went through when they shared a body? And he just left Sun to chill and nap in his own mind??? (Probably the longest break Sun's ever had btw akskdh) LIKE WHAT HELLO???

And there were plenty of times Eclipse could have just killed Sun but. Didn't? Like when he got into SolarFlare's body. And when Sun destroyed Moon's magic circles, Eclipse explained to Sun how he could fix the problem instead of just letting him walk into the raw magic and tear himself apart? (Think that was the longest and calmest convo they ever had lmao)

The fuckinggg. Symbolic base Eclipse had on the surface of the sun.

Alot more I could say (especially about how similar Sun acts like Eclipse in manyyy instances) but very eepy almost midnight.

Anyway I like SunxEclipse. Would never admit that off anon tho because the world is. Very mean. Sometimes. :/

Glad I got you interested in Sun x Eclipse stuff too. XD

At this point in show lore, Sun is the one who knows Eclipse the most. So who knows where we'll go with that.

And yeah... Forcing Moon to go through the same pain that Sun experienced when sharing a body.... I mean, sure. It was probably to get Moon to suffer. But that also feels so vengeful and purposeful.

It was also worth noting in the early introduction of Eclipse, when he was in Sun's head and leaking out during intense moments of Gameplay Videos. (and I still stand by that Eclipse was the one who said "Chillapachino" that one time and was enjoying being Silly with Sun.)

But whenever Eclipse took over in gameplay, he was always a little more angry.... Sure... But like.... He was also way more assertive, and tended to stand up to Moon more. Something that EARLY Sun didn't really do all that much.

Maybe I'm misremembering, but I think he threatened to take away Moon's whacking stick at one point as well. But I might have imagined that and that might not have been a legit thing.

Not to mention GodEclipse kept Sun around of all people. He even killed Lunar in that dimension, but he thought Sun was worthy to live. He even wiped his memories so he wouldn't suffer too much. Even when we see GodEclipse he says "My Sun is dead" His Sun. Not like... "that nuisance" or "idiot" is dead... His Sun.

And Remember, GodEclipse is not TOO Much a Diversion from the timeline.

The only difference is that he won the fight with Bloodmoon and got the Star shortly after then. And he wiped everyone like he said he would, unlike Eclipse 2.0 who got upset cus Old Moon died and he had no one to monologue about his hate boner to.

Eclipse also in early episodes didn't really include Sun much in his evil Plans. His vendetta and focus was solely on Moon. Sun just kinda got twisted up in a lot of it due to circumstance and him being trapped in Sun's head.

But yeah... Lunar says that he knows Moon better than anyone cus he lived in Old Moon's head.

That goes both ways.

Eclipse and Sun know each other better then anyone at this point.

If there is someone to give Eclipse a chance, I hope it's Sun.

I feel Sun would be a hypocrite if he tries with Bloodmoon and doesn't with Eclipse.

But I guess we'll see.

list of skullectors i’d love to see !!

obviously i’m not going to buy all of them since not all skullectors are to my liking, but it would be really nice to see monster high’s take on all these !!

also making this since it’s rumored we’re getting another beetlejuice set next year due to the new movie which i’m excited about !! the movie that is. i’m kinda bummed we’re getting another beetlejuice skullectors since we already got one but i’m happy for those who wait for the new set :3

oh and if somehow anyone from mattel is lurking here on tumblr, hi !! please take these as suggestions sksk (for everyone else: i know i look and sound crazy but you never know who is lurking >.<)

꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷

Edward Scissorhands and Kim Boggs - Edward Scissorhands

this would be a couple’s two pack. ideally i’d love for edward to be a manster cuz we need more skullector boy dolls but a girl is fine by me too. i don’t mind a genderbent edward, i’d just prefer for him to be him sksk

Emily, Victor and Victoria - Corpse Bride

i’ve seen this is a really popular choice and i really hope we get it someday !! a three pack with all of them would be my ideal but i would also be happy with just emily or a two pack with victor and emily. i do feel bad for excluding victoria, which is why a three pack is ideal imo. and keep victor as a manster please !!

Carrie - Carrie

another popular choice !! i would love to see her with the dress covered in blood. i feel like she’d be so cute ^_^

The Beldam and Coraline - Coraline

i’ve seen this mentioned a lot and tbh i’d prefer just the beldam herself, but i can see it being like the morticia and wednesday skuklsctor two pack. a mother’s day set which would be ironic xD

Michael Myers - Halloween

Ghostface - Scream

Jason Voorhees - Friday the 13th

Freddy Kruger - A Nightmare on Elm Street

Leatherface - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

grouping all of these together because come on. they’re the classics !! we need them. i’m kinda shocked we haven’t gotten any of them. you think we would’ve since skullectors were based off horror icons but i guess that kinda went out the window the moment they made the nightmare before christmas and the addams family two packs since those are not exactly horror lmao so at this point anything remotely dark goes. if they ever do make them i do feel like all of them would be ghouls and im okay with that :3 mansters would be nice but ghouls are cool too

Billy the Puppet - Saw

also needs no explanation. he’s also a classic and should get one !! we got chucky, tiffany and annabelle, so why not another doll based doll :3

Art the Clown - Terrifier

i know not everyone likes clown but we have pennywise so a genderbent art would be cute !! he’s a new slasher icon so let’s throw him in here too !! i’d love to see monster high’s take on art :3

The Wolfman - The Wolfman

The Phantom and Christine - The Phantom of the Opera

no introduction needed !! universal’s classic monsters !! we obviously need MORE !!!! we have the bride of frankenstein set, dracula and the gill-man. PLEASE MORE CLASSIC MONSTERS !!! i’m sure the wolfman will be genderbent but i sure hope the phantom isn’t. again, we need more mansters !!

Disney Villains - Disney

maleficent, the evil queen, lady tremaine, mother gothel, hades, cruella, THERE ARE SO MANY DISNEY VILLAINS i’d love to see them in the monster high style !! my personal fave being maleficent, i wanna SEE HER !! and yzma !! she has the skinny-skinny body G1 monster high dolls have so she’ll fit right in ^_^

these are all the ones i feel are most likely to happen. they’re the ones i’ve seen mentioned most and i would really love to see all of these happen one day !!

there are other popular choices of course but me personally, i wanna see these :3

꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷

i’m throwing this one in here separately cuz i’ve seen it mentioned a few times and i’m not a huge fan of the show but i wouldn’t mind buying it if it’s cute since i do think these designs are cute :3

Charlie Morningstar and Alastor with pet KeeKee - Hazbin Hotel

i’ve seen hazbin hotel mentioned before for skuklectors and i think they could be cute in monster high style !! also, please keep alastor a manster. i specifically want charlie and alastor cuz they’re the two main characters. charlie is the main one, and alastor is the face of the show and the most popular character. it only makes sense to put him. i’d love for them to have keekee as their pet the way greta has gizmo but it’s fine if they exclude her :3

꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷

okay final section and this is MY MOST DELUSIONAL DESIRES !!!! probably unlikely we’ll get them but a girl can dream >.<

Light Yagami, L Lawliet and Misa Amane - Death Note

i’d LOVE A THREE PACK OF THEM !! PLEASE !! AND PLEASE MANSTERS LIGHT AND L !! we need MORE MANSTERS !! i know it’s unlikely since mattel prefers making ghouls but come on !! and i know light and L don’t wear much but idk it’s monster high. YASSIFY THEIR OUTFITS IF YOU HAVE TO JUST PLS GIVE ME MANSTERS LIGHT AND L. i’ll be okay if it’s a single release misa of course. i’ll still buy her BUT GIMME ALL THREE

Junji Ito Characters

tomie is a very popular choice but i’ll take any junji ito characters !! they’ll fit right in the skullector line :3

Johann Faust VIII and Eliza Faust with pet Frankensteiny - Shaman King

this. THIS IS MY MOST DELUSIONAL DESIRE. i’m not even kidding. shaman king is my favorite manga and it’s my most delusional desire cuz shaman king is SO NICHE. not many people talk about it, let alone know it. but trust me when i say the faust couple would be LIT !! the art style fits right with G1 monster high. we have the mad doctor turned necromancer with his dead ghost wife and their dead skeleton dog. HOW MUCH SPOOKIER CAN IT GET ??!! i think they’re perfect for the skullector line >.< also please keep johann as a manster :3

꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷

okay i’m done yapping now. sorry >.<

Halloween Shopping

Might as well dunk this here, it's pretty funny (and probably makes no sense), but I'll paste it here regardless. A little funny write I wrote roughly a few weeks ago, enjoy XD (PS. Keep in mind this was more of a rough idea than really any story, and it was meant to be a joke I sent to my friend)

Dazai walks up to Chuuya, who's sipping on some hot coco (either takes wine, apple cider, or hot coco, nothing else), and taps him on the shoulder giddily. "Hmmm?" "Fukuzawa approved." Chuuya looked up at him now. "Approved what?" "Approved for Halloween decorations. If we buy them." A beat of silence. Chuuya yanks his phone from his pocket, dials up the nearest Halloween store, and snatches Dazai by the scruff, and immediately drags him. "We're going on a shopping spree. And we're decorating this place right."

Chuuya takes Dazai, borrows the Agency’s van, and drives off with a giddy expression. They arrive at the Halloween store and Chuuya is awed. At everything. It takes everything in him to hold back his feathers as he steps on buttons that activated horrifying animatronics, sorted through assortments of Halloween costumes, and pranced through the shelves of decorations, all the while music suited for Halloween played in the background. By the time they were done they stocked a cart full. “Dazai,” Chuuya whined. “Can’t we buy the whole store?” Dazai chuckled. “We could easily do that and more. But why?” “Cause, it’s so fucking awesome here. I’d want everyone at the Agency decked out for Halloween.” Dazai snorted. “It’s cute how much you love the Holiday.” “Well, of course, stupid. It’s the only time of the year I get to have my wings out and nobody calling me a monster or reporting me to the government,” Chuuya hissed to the brunette, much to his pleasure. “I know, I know, my little deity.” He pulled the cheek of the redhead as they made it to check out. The lady at the front boggled at all the expensive items, but cashed them in none the less, and reported it was about 560$, 79 cents. Before she could even finish her statement, she was handed Chuuya’s credit card. When Dazai mentioned they could afford the store and more, he wasn’t kidding. They cleaned the Mafia money and began investing it, soon becoming undercover billionaires, just to piss off people. And that meant they enjoyed themselves much more than necessary.

The woman looked like she had half a heart attack when the both of them weren’t even remotely phased on how much they spent on decorations, and wheeled the cart out of the store, bringing it to the van and unloading it. This time, Chuuya’s feathers sprung up, and he winced from the loud noises, but beamed at Dazai. “This is going to be fucking great. I can’t wait to see their faces.”

After all, that’s one of the reasons why Dazai decided to run through with this plan. To give the Agency a heart attack. But Fukuzawa didn’t put his foot down on any particular rules, except for the two having to pay for it, which was nothing on their end. So they drove back to the agency, and Chuuya used his ability to lift it up, Dazai carefully walking in front (because the redhead eyes him with suspicion) up the stairs, and infront of the Agnecy doorway.

Chuuya throws open the door grandly and steps inside like he owned the place, dropping the mound of Halloween decorations next to his desk and more boxes waiting behind, Dazai flicking his eyes over to Kunikida, who looked like the most bug-eyed chicken in history from pure shock. Atsushi looked at the stuff up and down. “Um.” Chuuya whirled to him. “Get crushed, or decorate with me?” Chuuya cracked his knuckles and offered a toothy smile. Atsushi didn’t even hesitate. “D-decorating!”

Eventually, the commotion stirred the others. Kenji bounced off the walls out of pure excitement for seeing these new decorations, ones he’s never seen before. Kyoka was surprisingly invested into it, and Chuuya took the two to show them how to decorate. Tanizaki flashed some of his ability as spooky holograms and laughed as Naomi dramatically squealed and hid behind him for protection. As the bundle unloaded, Kunikida grew more and more pale, and casually fainted in his chair with foam coming out of his mouth as now Yosano joined the party, Ranpo hovering around all of them with interest, since the Agency was usually quite bland every year for Halloween, poking and prodding at all the well made creatures, scary things, animatronics, flashing lights, and things that made noise. Eventually the entire place was decked out, and the entire Agency just gawked. It looked so freaking cool.

HAPPY SPLATOWEEN EVERYONE

My ko-fi

Ok sooo, i actually decided to work on something for Halloween, by smashing it together with splatoon! Bc look, I'm on team ghost, and you cannot say that this wasn't a perfect opportunity to try out the ghost trend I've been wanting to do since it came out! It's practically CALLING to be used here!!

I used my splatoon ocs for this, Spike (18K Aviators inkling), Beanie (Retro BluFocals octoling) and Zoomy (Annaki Charms inkling). Was kinda, very, insecure about how this would turn out, but in the end it came out good, for the time rush i was in XD

Also, this was inspired by galaxolotls version on youtube!

This will be my first Splatoween, so I'm very excited! Go team Ghost!!

Also, here are the pictures individually:

[thehollowwriter]

I'm interested in finding out what events your OCs would participate in

This turned into an extremely long list of facts and ideas oops

Cosmos is staff, so he wouldn't really be in any events poor guy 😔. However, I do see him joining Trein to keep an eye on students during Glomas. Though his worry is split between the students and Trein (since Trein is quite old fhathrytu)

Finn:

•Glomas 100%

•I also want to send him to Deuce's hometown event for the sole reason of seeing him in a bright bunny costume with that resting bitch face of his, but I think he'd go to Epel's hometown event in stead (he's eating Jade under the table by trying every possible food twice ove).

•Finn would adore going to the Scalding Sands and learning about its culture. He does struggle with the heat (Malleus was very concerned) but he simply carries on and keeps trying whatever food and music he can. He misses his partners, though, and makes sure to bring back souvenirs.

•Finn in the Ghost Bride event helps Riddle, Epel and the rest, aand if he tried the proposal thing? Slapped real fast if not for his height then for his chubbiness (I believe Eliza is meant to represent unrealistic standards?) and his general creepy aura

•He plays a huge part in spectral soiree since two of his partners got taken and... well... when they cross into the mirror, everyone can see the ghosts.

•Finn is in Vargas Camp 2 with Malleus and they both absolutely dominate lmao

•I can't really decide what side Finn is on for Beans Fest, but I think Monster team suits him well, though he wants to sit with Jade in the freezer.

•Beach event beach event beach event. He's stressed tf out, but mostly glad Azul and Floyd are there (and looking very handsome dear Sea Witch someone hold him steady)

Nkulu:

*Playful Land, I can definitely see him getting all excited over the shiny looking ticket (and sad when Riddle gets mad gifjf)

•Nkulu struggling to fit into an outfit for Deuce's hometown event is a really funny image to me. He keeps protesting and saying he'll just do makeup and bunny ears, or else it'll all rip. However, Dilla (??) Is a single mom. She can figure it out ;)

•I think he'd be well suited to Wish Upon A Star As Well, he'd got all happy over everyone's wishes (and probably livestream the whole thing.

•Nkulu has a ton of fun in the first Halloween event, scaring off Magicam monsters (and reminding his own followers not to be assholes lmao)

•Nkulu is in Vargas Camp 1 and really enjoys the experience. He does get quite annoyed at Vargas, though, lmao.

•Nkulu would be a farmer for Beans Fest and have waaaat too much fun shooting beans at people, lmao

•I can also see Nkulu at the beach event, handling it a lot better than Finn XD. Wow, they're in a lot of events together...

I think that's all of the events? If I missed some send more! I'm so sorry for the length.

[lemmilemura]

This is gonna be a kinda long rambly type post about TIT and Dan and Phil in general.

I can‘t sleep. Maybe it‘s my worsening sleep schedule these past few days (I blame Goro Majima), maybe it‘s the excitement of tomorrow. The fact that in less than 19 hours I‘ll be seeing Dan and Phil live. I‘ve never seen any content creator live and in person before, closest I got was getting a picture with Tom Felton a couple ears ago, 2018 I think. Sure I don‘t have any VIP or meet n greet tickets for tomorrow, but it‘s still going to be such a surreal evening.

I first started watching them during their gaming channel hiatus, maybe 2020 or 2021, I think my first video was their dog calendar which I found years after it was posted. I remember being so disappointed that I found them too late to get one myself. Now I‘m sitting here on my bed, my Dan and Phil and Cats calendar hanging above me.

So many times have I been too late to go to a show, a tour, a meet n greet. But now, finally, I‘m on time. I‘m so happy that I‘m going to the tour, and the first show nonetheless! I‘m hoping to maybe get one of the merch jackets they‘re selling, but I don‘t know if my mom will get it for me.

I‘m wondering how it‘ll go tomorrow, bringing my mom along. We‘re not native english speakers, and she struggles with it more than me, especially when the person speaking has a british accent, so that‘ll be interesting xD She also has no idea who Dan and Phil are, except the fact they‘re the guys on my calendar. She did once see me watching them in the livingroom, asked if they were the guys on my calendar, then said „They‘re together right?“ and I couldn‘t help but laugh. I told her no, they‘re not. They are both gay but not dating. I doubt she believed me.

They showed some fishnet tights in the new ‚trailer‘, which makes me think we‘ll be seeing Sister Daniel again. Makes me wonder how my mom will feel when she sees my reaction to Sister Daniel. I‘ve always loved her, I practically died when I saw the thumbnail of the Halloween baking video.

I don‘t know what I‘ll wear yet, but I do know I‘ll wear my two bracelets. They‘re those bracelets you‘re probably supposed to share with someone, being all one type of stone with one switched. I bought them at my favorite place in the world just about a month or so ago. It wasn‘t until like 15-20 minutes later, when I put them on, that I realized one was black/gray and one was orange. WAD colors. I didn‘t even get them for that reason, but I knew I was gonna wear them when I went to see them.

I practically begged my mom to get tickets. They were going live during my lunch period at school, and I remember texting my mom asking how it was going. She called me and bought them. I was so happy for the rest of the weekend. The fact that the first show was somewhere we could go, only about a 3 hour drive away, was almost magic to me. Like I was meant to go see that show. Like it was destiny. Crazy, I know.

A couple weeks ago, my mom got an advertisement e-mail by the venue. February 2025 they‘re hosting The Phantom of the Opera performances. They were expensive, but she got tickets anyway. I almost cried on the spot when she told me. POTO is one of my favorite musicals, and it is the musical I want to see the most. Sure, I love Beetlejuice and Heathers, but Phantom is Phantom! For most it‘s a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

I kinda trailed off at the end there, apologies. I‘d be shocked if anyone even read this far. If you did, thanks. If you didn‘t, that‘s okay too. I just wanted to rant for a little :)

I hope everyone has fun at TIT, and to everyone going to the Antwerp show, know I‘ll be there in the crowd somewhere :D

Friction Friendship

Paranormal Preteens AU: Episode Fourteen

A JSE Fanfic

As promised, here’s the second fic part for the week. Don’t expect this to happen a lot XD But be prepared to see these two AUs a lot this week as I inevitably reblog them both. Anyway. Onto the summary. The boys (and Stacy) don’t know how to deal with the planetarium situation, but they discuss it anyway. Without any real solutions, the next few days pass as Chase deals with personal drama and the twins ask the others to a birthday party. And then guess which shadowy entity shows up? :)c It’s not a lot of action this chapter but a lot of character building! Hope you enjoy that XD

++++++++++++++++++++

It was October, and that meant two things: a lot of school, and more importantly, Halloween. Chase had always loved the holiday. Not as much as Christmas, of course, but it was his second favorite. He remembered being really disappointed when his family first moved here and he found out that they didn’t trick-or-treat here like back in America. But he was a bit too old for that now. At least Mom still put up decorations and went costume shopping with him.

This year was going to be a bit different. For a couple different reasons. One was Schneep. Apparently he’d never celebrated Halloween before. “What?!” Chase had gasped when Schneep told him that. “They don’t have it in Germany?!”

“I think they do?” Schneep said, confused. “But it is not a big celebration that is all over.”

“Do you at least wear costumes?”

“I never have.”

“I can’t believe this.” Chase shook his head. “Don’t worry, Schneep, we’re gonna have the best Halloween ever this year.”

Another reason was the twins. Their birthday was actually on October 31st: the spooky day itself. That was probably why the two of them were already super excited. They were basically wearing orange and black all the time. Marvin could be seen wearing a black witch’s hat at school (which he had to take off during class) and JJ was frequently doodling little pumpkins in the corners of his notebook.

On Monday, Chase’s mom had a meeting after work, and couldn’t pick him and Schneep up from school. She called Jackie and asked if he could get them after classes were out, and maybe do some babysitting for a couple hours. Jackie’s own classes ended earlier than theirs, so he agreed. Chase decided that meant today was a good day for a meeting. He texted Marvin and JJ to ask if they could come over after school. They could. And... for the first time, Chase asked someone else.

“You want me to go over to your house after school?” Stacy repeated what he’d said, surprised.

“Yeah, I mean... you’re kinda in this,” Chase said. “We sometimes all meet up and talk about the, uh, you-know-what stuff. So I thought... yeah.”

Stacy frowned. She glanced around their classroom. Mr. Bartley had stepped out for a moment so everyone was taking the moment to talk to their friends while he wasn’t there to quiet them down. Half the students were out of their desks, including Chase, who’d walked over to talk to her. No one was paying attention. “I can’t tell my parents I’m going to a boy’s house!” she whisper-shouted.

“Well don’t tell them, then,” Chase said. “Right, Schneep?”

Schneep’s desk was still right next to Stacy’s, so he could hear everything. “Yes,” he agreed. “It may be hard, but it is better than missing out on things.”

“Yeah. They won’t even have to pick you up, Jackie can drive everyone.” It would be a bit crowded in the car with Stacy there, but probably fine.

“I... guess I could tell them I was going to hang out with Heather and Kat,” Stacy said slowly. “But no one else can know I went over to your house, okay?! I don’t want anyone to think I like like you.”

“Got it!” Chase gave her a thumbs up and quickly hurried back to his desk. He could see Bartley moving around through the bubbled glass window in the door. No doubt about to walk back in. He’d have to wait until after class to text JJ and Marvin.

The twins could come over, too, no problem. So after class let out, the kids all met at the school’s front doors, where Jackie was going to pick them up. They all piled into Jackie’s car and drove all the way to Chase’s house.

“Why is your house so big?!” Stacy said the moment she walked inside. “There’s only three of you!”

“I dunno, I guess we got lucky?” Chase shrugged.

Stacy glanced back and forth between him and Schneep. “Do you two have to share a room?”

“No,” Schneep said.

“Luckyyyyy. I have to share with Roxy, and she goes to bed super early so I can’t hang out in there before I go to sleep.”

“Nice decorations, Chase,” Jackie said, tapping a paper bat taped to the wall. “Did you make them?”

“Yep!” Chase grinned. “Mom and I showed Schneep how to do it! Look at that spider he made, it’s so cool! And he made that bat, too, to look like that stuffed animal he has.”

The twins were also examining the Halloween decorations. They were currently picking up the fake jack o’lanterns on the staircase to see how they worked. Marvin found the switch for one, and amused himself by turning the light on and off. Chase, are you going to carve pumpkins? JJ asked excitedly.

“Oh yeah! Definitely! We just need to find them. Mom says there aren’t any pumpkin patches anywhere nearby so we need to get them from the grocery store.”

Marvin and I never get to carve pumpkins, JJ complained. We ask every year and Dad always says it’s a waste because we’re going to throw them away right after Halloween.

“Well, maybe if we did it earlier, then we would have them out for longer,” Marvin muttered. “But no, he and Mam always ‘forget’ until a couple days before.”

And then they say that same thing about getting the pumpkins from the shop, JJ added. And that they’ll all be bought by then.

Stacy watched the sign language with a slight frown, trying to figure out what JJ was saying. Chase had seen her carrying around a book on BSL recently. It looked like it came from the library. Maybe that was why she hadn’t brought it today; she might have had to return it. “Uh... so are we gonna talk about this greenlight stuff and the planetarium and everything?” she asked hesitantly.

“Yeah, we haven’t really talked about the photos I took,” Jackie added. “They’re, uh... strange.”

“Alright, we can go sit down or something,” Chase said. “Uhhh let’s go.”

They all ended up in the living room, with Chase, Schneep, and Stacy on the sofa. Stacy was on the end next to Chase, sitting straight up and shifting awkwardly. The twins sat on the floor, leaning up against the TV stand, while Jackie took the armchair. His digital camera was in his hands, along with printed copies of the photos. He’d been prepared for this.

“So... Jameson and I still have not seen the planetarium basement,” Schneep said. “Was that crack there when you guys were?”

“Yeah! I got my foot stuck in it!” Stacy said.

“Oh shi—oh really?” Jackie asked. “Must not have been roped off at the time. Maybe that’s why they set up those barriers.” He looked down at the strangest photograph: the one that had been tinted green. “Did... while you guys were down there, did you feel like you were being watched?”

“I didn’t,” Chase said, and Stacy shook her head. “Uh... Marvin?”

Marvin was messing with the back of Chase’s TV remote. He looked up. “Huh? Oh, uh, no. Not until we heard those guys in the stairwell.”

We still don’t know anything about this mystery group, JJ mused. It’s been over two weeks. Nobody’s found anything out?

“If we did find something out, we would’ve talked together a lot sooner,” Chase said.

“We have been busy with homework and everything,” Schneep agreed. “But even if we were not, how? How are we supposed to learn anything about this group? We cannot spy on everyone in town, and we cannot go to the planetarium all the time. The group would notice us.”

“Y’know, I kept asking Mincy stuff about the planetarium staff,” Jackie said. “She says that all the senior employees are acting really weird. They’re being really hard on the other employees. A lot of people have quit because of that. She says she might soon, too. Maybe that’s what they want. They want everyone who doesn’t know about the basement to quit so they’re in total control.”

Are we going to DO anything about the basement, by the way? JJ asked.

“I mean... what?” Chase asked. “It’s not something we can fight. It’s a room. How do you defeat a room?”

“Take out the support pillars?” Marvin suggested.

“What?! Then the whole building might collapse!” Stacy gasped.

“Perhaps that crack in the floor has something to do with it,” Schneep said. “Jackie, can you show everyone the pictures?”

“Yeah, sure.” Jackie handed them to him, and Schneep began passing them out.

“We all notice the weird stripes in the carpet, yes?” Schneep asked, pointing them out on his own photo. “They all go to the crack in the floor eventually. Maybe if we seal up the crack then all the weird things will stop.”

“Okay, but how?” Marvin asked.

Cement? JJ suggested.

“How the fuck are we gonna get cement, JJ?”

JJ shrugged.

Marvin sighed. He looked down at the picture in his hands. “...wait a minute.” He stared at it. Schneep had handed him one of the crack in the ground. “I think... I’ve seen this before.”

“Yeah, when we were down there and I got my foot stuck,” Stacy said.

“No, before that. Jackie, can I see the weird green picture?”

“Uh... yeah.” Jackie handed it to him. “What’re you thinking, dude?”

Marvin brought the photo real close to his face. Then he held it out at arm’s length. He squinted, narrowing his eyes until his vision went a little blurry. “This was under the pool!” he gasped.

“Was?!” Schneep cried.

“Wait, really?!” Chase shouted.

“Yeah, I saw it when Jackie and I went down to fight the water monster. Its weird-ass body was sitting on top of a crack in the bottom of the pool, so I only saw it when the monster moved. But it was all black inside like this!”

“Whoa whoa whoa, wait.” Jackie’s eyes widened. “The pool—the water monster, it—did it cause the crack?”

Maybe! JJ said. Did anyone notice weird cracks anywhere else?

Everyone else shook their heads and muttered “no”s. “There has to be a connection,” Schneep said quietly. “Maybe, if we saw something else with this greenlight stuff... Has anyone heard of anything weird?”

“Ohhh there are weird things everywhere,” Marvin muttered. JJ looked at him, confused and concerned.

“A few months agoI you guys mentioned hearing stuff about the hospital and the secondary school,” Jackie recalled. “Maybe we should focus on those places. It shouldn’t be hard to poke around the school, since we’re there all the time.”

“Hey, are you guys coming to our birthday?” Marvin suddenly asked.

“Uh...” Chase blinked. “I don’t think you’ve mentioned it before. Are you guys having a party?”

“We’re having cake and presents on Halloween,” Marvin said. “But Mam always wants us to have a big party with lots of people. But we don’t really know anyone we’d want to invite before this, so we’ve never done it before, it’s always been our parents and our grandma. It’d be fine if you guys are busy or something, cause it’s Halloween, but I think you should come over to our house.” JJ stared at Marvin, even more speechless than usual, still with that expression of confused concern.

“Uhhh I don’t think we were gonna do much,” Chase said slowly. “I mean, I promised Schneep we’d have the best Halloween ever, cause he’d never celebrated it before. But a party sounds like it’s part of the best Halloween. So sure.”

Schneep nodded eagerly. “Yes! I have never been to someone else’s house before! Well, we went to Jackie’s for his birthday, and I have been to many relatives’ houses, but I mean for other children. Other kids. I want to see!”

“If you guys are including me in that, I’d love to go,” Jackie said. “My friends and I were planning on doing Halloween and Fawkes stuff on the first, anyway.”

Stacy looked nervous, chewing on her lip. “A boys’ party? What do boys do at parties?”

“I dunno,” Marvin said. “When we had Schneep’s party we just opened presents and had cake and did video games.”

“Well... sure. I-I’ll see if I can go,” Stacy said slowly. “But my parents might not let me. They might want to do family stuff together.”

“That’s fine,” Marvin said. “You’re fine.”

Silence fell. It lasted for a few seconds, but it felt much longer. “Well, uh, glad we’re doing that!” Chase said quickly. “Mom’s not gonna be home for a while! So, uh, what now?”

Jackie sighed. He put his camera in his hoodie pocket. “I don’t think we’ll get very far with the planetarium or mystery group stuff. Unless someone can figure out how to fight a basement or seal up a weird crack in the floor. But I don’t think we have any ideas.”

But speaking of birthdays, JJ said. Something happened Friday night. Hang on, this will be too much sign language for Stacy to understand. He pulled his notebook out of his shoulder bag and quickly wrote down what happened, explaining the brief encounter he and Marvin had with Anti. Then he handed the notebook to Stacy, who read it and then passed it around.

“I don’t like that,” Jackie muttered as he read what JJ wrote. 

“Why would this Anti... person... wanna do that?” Stacy asked. “Is that something he normally does?”

“No, we don’t really see him that much,” Chase said. “I dunno why he’d show up to you guys if he wanted a happy birthday. Which is... weird. Cause like... does he have a birthday?”

“Everything has a birthday, because everything is created one day,” Schneep figured.

“Well... yeah, but... it’s still weird.” Chase shook his head. “I dunno. What are we supposed to do about this?”

“It’s hard to know what to do about Anti,” Jackie agreed. “He doesn’t show up that much. I’ve never even seen him. Can you, like, punch him or something?”

“Ha!” Marvin grinned. “I don’t think we’ve tried, but next time I see him, I’ll fucking deck him.”

Everyone smiled. “Anyway, uh... I think that’s everything we wanted to talk about,” Chase said. “D’you guys want to play something?”

“That’s not fair, I’ve never played a video game before!” Stacy protested. “Why do you guys get to do something but I can’t?”

“Wait... never?” Chase asked. Stacy shook her head. “Well we have to play something now so you can try. I mean, you don’t have to, cause Schneep never plays, but at least watch. What’s something easy?”

The next couple hours passed with Chase and the other guys showing Stacy some of their favorite games. She wasn’t all that good, but she was clearly enjoying herself. Chase’s mom arrived home soon, causing the hangout to break up as Stacy, Jackie, and the twins headed out, leaving Jack and Schneep alone to do their homework.

But Chase couldn’t concentrate. He couldn’t stop thinking about everything they had brought up. Anti, the mystery group, the planetarium, the cracks in the ground, the greenlight... What did it all mean?

++++++++++++++++++++

Chase was still distracted in school the next day. He didn’t pay attention at all during the first class. In fact, when the bell rang he couldn’t remember a single thing that just happened.

“Chase?” Schneep poked his shoulder. “Is everything alright?”

“Huh?” Chase shook his head. “Yeah, I was just... thinking about stuff.”

“What stuff?” Stacy asked, standing behind Schneep. “Like... the secret stuff?” she whispered.

He was, but he didn’t want to talk about that right now. “No, I was thinking about—about Chad,” Chase said. “Uh, he’s my friend.”

“That tall kid with curly brown hair?” Stacy asked. “You were hanging out with him a lot last year. But I haven’t seen him around you this year. Is that what you’re thinking about? What happened?”

“Uh... I don’t know,” Chase said honestly. “He just... hasn’t talked to me. At all. This year.”

Schneep’s brows furrowed. “That is rude.”

“I guess, but like, maybe he’s busy,” Chase defended. “I mean, it is bothering me. I want to know what happened or if I did something wrong or something.”

“Can’t you ask him about that?” Stacy asked.

Chase blinked. “What d’you mean?”

Stacy rolled her eyes. “Just ask him why he’s not talking to you.”

“But... he won’t talk to me in the first place,” Chase explained. He glanced at Schneep to see if he was seeing the obvious problem. But Schneep looked thoughtful. “Right? I can’t ask him if he won’t listen.”

“Well, then, Schneep and I will go with you,” Stacy said. “He can’t ignore you if there are people watching.”

“Ah! Yes, that is a great idea.” Schneep nodded eagerly. “We all have a lunch period together, so you can talk to Chad then.”

“But—but he won’t talk to me!” Chase repeated. Why didn’t either of them get it?

“But it’s better to try than not, right?” Stacy said.

“Yes, talking has always helped,” Schneep agreed.

Chase looked back and forth between the two of them. Then he sighed. They clearly weren’t going to leave this alone. “Alright. Fine. If we can find Chad at lunch we can talk to him.”

“You can talk to him,” Stacy repeated. “We’ll be there for support and nothing more.”

“Fine. Whatever.”

And so, that day in the cafeteria, Schneep dragged Chase over to the corner table where Stacy said she would meet them. She was already there, clutching a pink lunch box and waiting for them to approach. “Ready?”

“Yeah, sure,” Chase mumbled. He idly scanned the cafeteria. Every available spot was packed with round tables, and every available table was already packed with kids. “Uhhhh I don’t see Chad anywhere.”

“He usually sits near the middle, ja?” Schneep prompted.

He did, and Chase knew that, but he was trying to find an excuse to avoid this. Sure, he wanted to know why Chad hadn’t talked to him once in months, but he didn’t want to actually ask him about that. What if he didn’t like the reason? What if Chad didn’t want to be friends anymore? As long as Chase didn’t bring it up, he could pretend that nothing had changed and Chad was just being weird about it. But the moment he found out...

Stacy climbed onto the bench attached to the table, using it as a stool to see over the heads of the other students. “I see him,” she announced, and climbed back down. “C’mon.” She started weaving in between the tables. Chase hesitated. Then Schneep nudged him, and he had no choice but to follow Stacy.

Chad was sitting at a table with a bunch of other guys. Keith, Terry, Alex, Miguel—Chase recognized them all. They’d already gotten their lunches and were all laughing at something. Chase stopped walking. “Chase, for the sake of god,” Schneep muttered, just barely loud enough to be heard through cafeteria chatter.

“I can’t do this in front of a whole group of guys, Schneep,” Chase muttered back at the same volume.

“Well it looks like Stacy will not let you do it some other way,” Schneep pointed out. Stacy had noticed that Chase stopped and was now staring at him as she stood right next to Chad’s table. All the guys had noticed her and stopped laughing. They looked like they weren’t sure what to do about it.

Chase sighed. “God... dang it,” he whispered. He adjusted his blazer, took a deep breath, and kept walking. As he got close, he put a grin on his face and tried to relax. “Hey, Stacy,” he said as he got closer to her, as if he’d just met her randomly.

“Hi, Chase,” Stacy said, not smiling. Her eyes darted back to the group of guys.

“Oh hey, Chad,” Chase said. He managed to keep a casual tone despite the way his heart was pounding with nerves. Schneep walked up next to him, staying slightly behind.

“Hey, Chase!” Chad gasped. “Bro! I haven’t seen you since I got back from camp! I don’t think we have any classes together, that’s crazy. How’ve you been?”

Chase laughed. “Uh, yeah, I’ve been good, bro. I’ve, uh, been wanting to talk to you for a while.” He noticed the way Stacy stepped back but didn’t actually leave. Her eyes drilled holes into the side of his head.

“Oh shoot really?” Chad looked over at the rest of the guys. The four of them had started eating lunch, but they were paying attention. Chase knew because they were quiet. They would have started talking about something else if they really didn’t care. “About what?”

“I mean, uh...” Chase swallowed a lump in his throat. How was he supposed to phrase this? “I’ve, uh, seen you a couple of times in the hallway and stuff, and here at lunch, and you like... haven’t said anything. And I have your phone number, I called you a couple times. So I was just wondering... is there, like, something going on, or...?”

“Oh. Uh...” Chad stopped smiling. He leaned back, but didn’t stand up. “I mean... I dunno.”

“Right.” Chase nodded. “I mean... I just want to know. Cause like... if I did something wrong, I want to know... so I can stop doing the thing.”

“Yeah, uh... that makes sense.” Chad stopped talking. The silence stretched between them, somehow louder than the surrounding chatter. “I, uh, I’d love to hang out sometime,” Chad finally said. “If you’re, like... not busy.”

“I’m not that busy,” Chase said. True, he and the others had stuff to deal with. Like Anti and the planetarium and the mystery group. And school. But he’d drop all that if Chad wanted to do something. “I dunno if you thought I was, but I’m not busy.”

“No, I didn’t think that. I just wasn’t sure if...” Chad hesitated. “If you were gonna keep being all...”

“All... what?” Chase prompted.

“You know, like... being a bummer and stuff.” Chad looked embarrassed. It wasn’t clear if that was because he didn’t want to say it to Chase, or because he didn’t want to say it in front of other people.

Chase blinked. “What? What’re you talking about?”

“You know, like, all last term,” Chad continued. “You never wanted to do anything or talk about anything. And when we did stuff you just kinda... sat there. We went to the park to skate once and you just stayed on the bench the whole time. And if we got snacks you never ate what you got. Like, why’d you get it in the first place? It just... wasn’t all that fun.”

Chase could only stare at him. “My dad left.” His voice was completely flat.

“You talk to him on the phone and stuff, right?” Chad said. “And you still get presents for your birthday. It’s kinda like you get two parties, hah. And he can come back whenever he wants. It’s not like he’s gone forever.”

The silence continued to stretch. Chase continued to stare. This... couldn’t be real, could it? It had to be some sort of dream. It was too unbelievable. This wasn’t a real conversation. This wasn’t really Chad. It couldn’t be.

Someone coughed behind him. “Chase, we still need to get lunch,” Schneep said, grabbing Chase’s hand. “We should go right now.”

“Oh hey, you’re the new kid!” Chad said, eagerly changing the subject. “What’s your name again?”

“Henrik. I am Chase’s cousin.” Schneep’s voice was cold. Businesslike.

“Oh cool! I don’t think he’s ever mentioned you. But I’ve seen you around. You guys hang out with the Jacksons together, right?”

“Yes.” Schneep took a step back, pulling Chase’s arm. “Come on, Chase.”

“Yeah, we have stuff to do after you get your lunches,” Stacy jumped in. “C’mon.”

“...yeah.” Chase nodded. He took a step back. “Bye, Chad.”

“Uh... bye.” Chad looked a bit confused. But as Chase, Schneep, and Stacy walked away, he turned back to the other guys at the table and started talking again, the confusion instantly vanishing.

The three of them didn’t go to the line to get lunch. Instead, Schneep pulled Chase around the tables, out of the cafeteria, and a little way down the hall. It was empty out here. Most students were inside the cafeteria, and the ones skipping lunch were gone by now. The three of them were completely alone. “Is everything okay, Chase?” Schneep asked gently.

“I-I don’t know.” Chase’s voice was quiet. He couldn’t make himself talk louder.

“What a jerk!” Stacy put her hands on her hips.

“He’s not a jerk, he just doesn’t get it.” Chase stared absentmindedly at the lockers across the hall, not really seeing them.

“Well, he should want to get it, and he didn’t!” Stacy huffed. “I know you don’t like Heather, but at least she would try to understand! I mean, I don’t think she’d really... do anything about it...” She trailed off for a moment. Then shook her head and returned to righteous anger. “But this isn’t about Heather! It’s about that guy, and that guy’s a jerk!”

“Who would—who would say that to—to someone who looked—” Schneep struggled with the words. He suddenly cried out and shouted something in very angry German. Then kicked the base of a nearby locker.

That got a smile out of Chase. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen you so mad.”

“You deserve to be mad over!” Schneep shouted. “I should be mad when the bad things happen to you! And you should be mad, too!”

“It’s fine.” Chase let out a breath and leaned his head back against the wall. It hit a locker with a gentle thunk. “At least I know what it was all about now.”

“Yeah.” Stacy nodded sharply. “Now you can forget about him and move on.”

“Sure.” Chase didn’t think he would forget. But maybe he could move on. “I can’t believe the Jackson twins were better at... what they said when I told them about Dad...” he mumbled.

“Why wouldn’t they be?” Stacy narrowed her eyes.

“I dunno. I just...”

“Is it because they’re magic weirdos?” Stacy asked in a weirdly demanding tone.

“Bro, don’t call them that,” Chase said defensively.

“Omg, you called them that first!” Stacy gasped.

“I what? When?”

“When we were walking up that staircase from the weird basement beneath the planetarium! You said you hung out with magic weirdos!”

“Oh!” Chase suddenly remembered. “No, I didn’t mean it like that, I meant it like that’s what other people would say.”

“Yeah, and you said you didn’t want other people to say that about you! That you didn’t want to be called a weirdo, too!”

“Well I don’t.”

“Chase!” Schneep gaped at him.

“That came out mean, I didn’t mean that,” Chase said, turning to him. “Look, no one wants to be called names or insulted or anything.”

“You’re right, no one does!” Schneep agreed. “I don’t want to be! And yet, I have heard what other kids have said. You know, Chase, I am also a weirdo to them, because I am short, or I talk different, or I am too smart. Anyone will be a weirdo! It means nothing! I do not care what other kids say. You should not care either! Especially when you know that someone is not weird!”

“I... the twins are weird, though,” Chase whispered.

“And so?” Schneep challenged. “Have you not fought monsters with them? Are they not your friends?”

“N-no, of course they are, I just...” Chase trailed off. Shame heated his face. He looked away from Schneep and Stacy. “I know I shouldn’t care,” he muttered. “But I do, and I don’t know how to not care about it the way Marvin and JJ do.”

“Are you sure they don’t care about people calling them weird?” Stacy prompted.

“I... I was sure, up until you said that.” Weird people didn’t care that others thought they were strange. If they did, they would have stopped being weird a long time ago. Right? That’s how Chase would have reacted. Was he doing it wrong?

“O... m... g.” Stacy stared at him. “Of course they care! Didn’t you notice how Marvin reacted when you called him a magic weirdo?!”

“...No?” Chase squirmed. “Am... am I a bad friend?”

Stacy sighed. “No. You’re not. That Chad guy is a bad friend. You’re just dumb. Just say you’re sorry the next time you see them.”

Schneep nodded. “These sort of, ah... mistakes seem to be common with you. I think Marvin will understand.”

“Right.” Chase nodded.

“Great.” Stacy grinned. “Now we have to eat before lunch period is over. You guys should go get your lunches.”

“Uh...” Chase glanced back towards the open cafeteria doors. “I kinda don’t want to go back in there...”

“Is fine, Chase,” Schneep assured him. “Stacy and I can get food and take it out here for you. That is allowed, ja?”

“I think so.”

“I have to go through the lunch line? Ugh.” Stacy shook her head. “I hate that. It’s crowded.”

“Is that why you always bring your own lunch?” Schneep asked, pointing at her lunch bag.

Stacy shrugged. “My parents don’t like the school food. But anyway, I gotta get your lunch before they stop serving food. C’mon, Schneep.” And she headed back inside.

Schneep patted Chase on the arm. “We will be right back,” he said quietly. “You... be... take, ah, care of yourself.” And with that awkward but heartfelt wish, Schneep followed Stacy inside.

Chase would later learn that students were not, in fact, allowed to take food out of the cafeteria. But for this lunch, the three of them sat on the floor of the hallway together, silently eating. And even though it was a bit uncomfortable, Chase was much happier sitting here than he would have been sitting with Chad.

++++++++++++++++++++

“Chase, do you still have homework?” Mom asked in the car after school.

“Uh... yeeahh,” Chase admitted, squirming in his seat.

Mom sighed. “You have to keep on top of it this year, you know,” she said gently.

“I know, I know.” Chase nodded. “Why don’t you ever ask Henrik if he has homework?”

“I do not have homework,” Schneep offered from the back seat. “If you need help, Chase, I can help.”

Mom chuckled. “I don’t ask Henrik because he always tells me. Which I really appreciate, Henrik, but you don’t have to worry about it so much. Chase, however, might have to worry about his grades.”

“I’ll do it right when we get home, I promise,” Chase said.

And indeed, the moment he got home he took his backpack right up to his bedroom, Schneep following him up the stairs. “I did mean it when I said I can help,” he said. “I do not mind.”

“Nah, bro, you don’t have to. Go have fun reading or whatever.” Chase reached his bedroom and pulled open the door. “I can handle some—”

There was a person in his room.

Chase stared. Schneep gasped. Anti, sitting on Chase’s bed, smiled and waved. “Hi,” he said quietly.

“Wh...” Chase glanced over his shoulder. Mom was still downstairs, but if he shouted, she would definitely hear it. Should he? He looked at Schneep, who was pale; he reached out and gripped Chase’s arm tightly, but didn’t run from Anti. Chase took a deep breath and turned back. “What are you doing?”

“What am I doing? What are you doing?” Anti asked.

“Uh... h-homework?”

Anti stood up. His shadowy body was a bit less translucent than Chase remembered. “Why?”

“Because... it’s... important?” Chase said, confused.

“You have more important things to do,” Anti insisted. “The planetarium. Do you remember the planetarium? Did you forget?”

“Um, no, but... but what do you mean?” Chase asked. He noticed Schneep moving slightly in the corner of his vision, but didn’t dare look away from Anti.

“You haven’t done anything about the greenlight in the planetarium,” Anti said in a low voice. “Why? You’ve done something about all the other greenlight things you’ve found. Take care of this one!”

Chase took a step backwards. “Do something? Like what?”

“I don’t care. Just something.” Anti tilted his head to the side and narrowed his eyes. “Like you’re supposed to. You’re ruining everything by just waiting.”

“W-well, we...” Chase’s eyes flicked to the side. Schneep had entirely disappeared from his field of vision, and was now crouching down close to the ground. “We don’t know what to do yet. It’s a big empty room, not a monster.”

“You’re all smart, aren’t you?” Anti took a step forward. “You should have a plan by now.”

“Maybe we just haven’t had enough time!” Chase protested. “I mean—i-it took us all summer to catch that monster dog, right? And we didn’t have school and homework and stuff taking up all day.”

Anti seemed to consider that. His posture relaxed slightly. “School, hmm? Making you busy?” He giggled. “That’s funny. What’s the word? It’s ironed.”

“...Ironic?” Chase asked hesitantly.

“Ironic. It’s ironic that the school is keeping you from the greenlight.” Anti grinned. “Maybe it’s not as far away as you thi—”

Suddenly, Schneep stood up straight and moved his arm. He threw something! Chase’s baseball had been lying by the bedroom door. He’d grabbed it and thrown it right at Anti. But the ball went right through Anti’s shadowy chest and bounced against the glass of the window behind him.

Anti’s smile vanished. “I was talk͠ing̢,” he growled. His voice sounded strange. Crackly, like an untuned car radio.

Schneep stiffened, white as a ghost. “Es tut mir Leid,” he whispered.

Chase stepped in front of him. He could feel Schneep trembling slightly, his grip on his arm squeezing tighter. “Our mom is right downstairs,” he announced. “If we scream she’s gonna hear it and come running.”

Anti’s green eyes stared into his. The lightbulb in the overhead light flickered on, then off. “That’s nice,” he said in a flat voice. And then without another word, he disappeared.

The two boys waited for a few seconds to see if he would reappear. When he didn’t, Chase immediately whirled around to look at Schneep. “Are you okay?” he asked.

“Ja—yes.” Schneep nodded. He’d stopped shaking and was regaining some color. “I thought—I-I wanted to see if he could be touched—and then I—I did not like... the way he said that.”

“Yeah,” Chase said. “But you’re okay. He left.”

“He did.” Schneep nodded again. “Ah... thank you. That was very brave, stepping in front.”

“Well what’s he gonna do? He’s like a ghost. You just proved he can’t touch anything.” Chase looked at the spot where Anti had been and stuck out his tongue. “He’s just a jerk.”

Schneep laughed. “H-he is.” A moment passed. “You... said ‘our’ mom.”

“I did?” Chase blinked. “I didn’t even realize. But, uh, are you okay with that?”

“I... do not know,” Schneep said slowly. “I like ‘our.’ But... things are complicated.”

“Alright. I’ll try not to do it again, then.” Chase paused. “Y’know, actually, can you help me with homework? I’m having trouble with some chemistry equations.”

Schneep nodded. “Yes! Of course! I have those in my memory.”

“Already?” Chase laughed. “Okay. In that case, you can sit in my beanbag and quiz me.”

As the two of them settled in, neither of them noticed the strange shadow outside the open window. Neither of them realized it watched them for a couple minutes before finally leaving.

++++++++++++++++++++

“Hey Jackie, did you hear?”

Jackie jumped slightly. He’d been staring absentmindedly into his locker, still thinking about the meeting he’d had with the kids at Chase’s house the day before yesterday. Anti appearing in JJ and Marvin’s room had really worried him. So had everything about the mystery group. But he put that out of his mind for now. “Hey, Syl,” he said, turning to look at Sylvester, who’d walked up next to him. “Hear about what?”

“The planetarium collapsed last night!” Sylvester said.

“What?!”

“Yeah, crazy, right?! Mincy told me everything in Math this morning.”

“That’s—what?” Jackie repeated. “How?”

Sylvester shrugged. “No one knows. Maybe it was built on a sinkhole or something. Or maybe something happened with the structure, like it was weak or something.”

A sinkhole wasn’t very likely, but... there was a big, wide-open space below the planetarium. That strange basement. If something happened down there, could the whole building have collapsed into it? “Was anyone inside?”

“Uh, some of the senior staff members were, so that sucks.”

“...yeah.” Jackie nodded. He turned back to his locker and grabbed the textbook he was looking for. “Yeah, that... really sucks.”

As he closed the locker, he could have sworn it was darker inside than normal. As if there was an extra shadow there.

He left too quickly to notice the faint laughter.

Imagine Sneaking Out of the Annual Special Fire Force Halloween Party With Obi.

Obi Akitaru X FemReader

Rating: T

Warnings:  Suggestive themes, mentions of drinking

Word Count: 2.2k

(A/N:) I may have gotten a little carried away with this one! XD It wasn’t supposed to be this long but I just adore Obi. He’s my absolute favorite of the whole Fire Force list of characters! And it’s kind of became one of my traditions to write something for him for Halloween every year. So this year is no different! So to my other Obi fangirls I hope you enjoy this one too! Happy Halloween and until next time happy reading! ~Countess

Once again Halloween arrived and it had quickly become you and Obi’s favorite holiday. All good things had come to you both whenever the holiday came around. Plus Obi’s warming cinnamon spiced kisses were intoxicating. But now as this Halloween arrived there was no way you two could find a way of escaping the Special Fire Force’s annual Halloween party at the First Company’s Cathedral. The last few years Obi had been able to give a good enough excuse that you two got to stay at Company 8 but not this year. Now as the night arrived you were checking yourself in the full length mirror of you and Obi’s room, finishing up the last touches of your makeup. Despite it being a Halloween party it was stressed to you and Obi that it was a formal wear party and that by no means was it a costume party. The laughter of the youngest members of the company echoed up to you from downstairs. At least they were having fun you smiled gently. Distracted by the company’s doorbell you didn’t hear Obi come up behind you before you were wrapped in his large suit encased arms.

“Trick or treat,” he purred.

“Please Obi treats are for later tonight when we finally get out of that party,” you murmured wiggling from his grip. He rolled his eyes giving a quiet sigh.

“Sorry I couldn’t get us out of it this year,” he apologized straightening his tie in the mirror.

“That’s okay. We’d have to stay here and babysit anyway,” you paused letting the rambunctious laughter speak for you. “So let’s just go have a few drinks, woo the rich other companies, and then we can come home and watch scary movies until the sun comes up.”

Obi nodded finishing with his tie before offering you his well muscled arm, “Sounds good to me.”

Downstairs Shinra, Arthur, Iris, Tamaki, and Maki were playing a board game while horror movies played on the TV. Takehisa was at the door handing out candy to trick-or-treaters. While Vulcan and Viktor were no where to be found. The two were more than likely hanging out working on things that interested them more than a spooky holiday.

“Have fun everyone,” you called interrupting their, so far, tame festivities.

Shinra launched to his feet speeding towards you with a huge toothy grin on his face. “Take care of her Captain.” He laughed, “We don’t blame you both if you stay out a little later than normal.”

Maki elbowed the younger man causing him to double over, “What Shinra is trying to say is have fun and stay safe. We’ll see you both when you get home.”

“Thanks Maki,” Obi laughed taking your jacket off the hook and draping it over your shoulders. “Try not to burn down the cathedral while we’re gone okay team?”

“Yes sir!” The answer chorus followed you two as Takehisa closed the large door behind you both. The chill of the fall air made you shiver. Obi answered by bringing you closer to his body. Hailing a cab he helped you in before closing the door and getting in himself. With a few words you both were on the way to the party. Obi held your hand tightly stroking your digits with soft strokes as the tires bumped along down the road. You glanced at him eyes gleaming with excitement about the evening ahead. Just because you had to go to a party neither of you wanted to attend didn’t mean you couldn’t have a little fun at the expense of the Special Fire Force. You also knew that Obi had a plan, he wouldn’t have given up the fight so easily if he didn’t have some kind of back up plan. You were excited to see what the strong captain had cooked up. But for now you would eat yummy food, drink free booze, and enjoy holding onto the arm of the only man who had ever treated you so specially.

The First Company building was decorated so lavishly on the outside you couldn’t even begin to imagine what the inside could possibly look like. Obi paid the cab fair before coming to your side. You gripped his hand while he gulped and pulled at his suddenly tight shirt collar.

“Does this count as coming,” you whispered half joking half serious.

Defeated Obi shook his head, “I’m afraid not. So let’s try to have a little fun huh.”

You nodded preparing yourself for whatever the night held. What you weren’t prepared for was how expensive and elegant everything was inside the cathedral. Women and men of all companies mingled on the polished floors as flickering decorative lights of orange and purple glimmering on hand carved statues. You choked on air interrupting every conversation due to your coughing. Obi rubbed your back trying to soothe your fit. Wiping tears from your eyes before they could smear your mascara you waved awkwardly, Obi sensing your discomfort whipped you to a beverage table and grabbed you a cup of water.

“You okay,” he asked worriedly.

“Yeah,” you took a sip letting the water coat your throat. “I just wasn’t prepared for the extravagance.”

“Yeah I get what you mean. I’m used to Company 8 too. We’re less refined I guess you could say.”

“I love our dumpster fire of a home,” you grinned touching Obi’s cheek.

“Don’t say that,” he shuttered, “we might actually return home to it on fire.”

“Ohh yeah,” you grimaced. “Sorry wasn’t thinking.”

You finished your cup of water when you noticed an older man making his way to you and Obi. His white hair tied in the back out of his face and an eye patch covering one eye. He was intimidating and you found yourself nuzzling closer to Obi. He squeezed you tightly in a comforting gesture before offering a hand to the large man.

“Captain Burns thank you for the invitation,” Obi started making the older man shake his head.

“You and I both know getting you to come here was like pulling teeth.” Obi could only snicker awkwardly before the man who you now knew to be the First Division’s captain put his sights on you.

“And you must be (Y/N) Captain Obi’s plus one. I’ve heard a lot about you. Thank you for trying to keep Obi’s unruly bunch in line.”

“Can’t say I do much good sir,” you took his hand which he shook firmly, but not as rough as he did Obi’s.

He laughed deeply, “I’m sure. Well tonight enjoy yourselves. No responsibilities or teammates to keep you from having fun. Eat and drink your fill.”

“Thank you,” Obi and you both said at once. Then you both were left alone once more.

You thought your heart was going to beat right out of your chest after that conversation. “Is he always so intimidating,” you wheezed.

Obi nodded grabbing a glass of champagne and chugging it, “Yeah.”

“Oh good. I enjoy the feeling of his threatening presence.”

“You’ll get used to it,” Obi replied taking another glass off the table and offering it to you.

“Really,” you took the offered glass.

“No.”

You sighed, “That’s what I thought.”

Sometime in the night you got separated from Obi and now you were stuck discussing Hibana’s infernal experiments. You grimaced at some of the more gruesome details, trying to fake interest while trying to find an escape route. You didn’t know her very well despite her presence was a constant around Company 8. You were just about ready to give up hope when an arm slipped around your waist.

“Excuse me ladies,” Obi’s voice caused you to melt in relief. “But I think I’ll steal (Y/N) for a dance.”

Hibana glared at the captain but relented and went about searching for her next victim. You felt sorry for whoever she sunk her claws into next but you didn’t feel bad enough that you would leave Obi.

“My hero,” you cooed leaning into his frame.

“Looks like you were enjoying that conversation.” He chuckled leading you to the outskirts of the dance floor.

“Enjoying it as much as the company of Captain Burns,” you grimaced.

“That much huh?”

“How did you escape,” you asked while being glided around the floor in tune to the song playing through the speakers.

“Waited for their attention to be on someone else then snuck away.”

You giggled burying your face in his chest, “How cowardly.”

“I can deal with that,” Obi huffed.

You and Obi danced around a little longer underneath the orange lights. You were never one to be the center of attention but being with Obi and escaping from conversations that you weren’t wanting to have was worth having people stare at you and Obi. But you couldn’t dance forever and the thought of the Halloween festivities happening outside was becoming too much to bear.

“Can we leave now,” you whispered. Despite staying more than you both wanted, it would still seem rude when there was still lots of time left until it ended. Obi looked around the room seeing that most of the attention had left you two. The captains and their guests were back to talking to one another. Captain Burns seemed to be swarmed by several other people talking to him animatedly while he looked to be on the verge of disinterest. That moment Obi felt a little sorry for the First Company’s Captain but now was the best chance to make an escape.

“Let’s get out of here.”

He grabbed your hand before you could say anything in agreement and rushing you towards the corridors. While Obi didn’t know the layout of the building like the people who lived in and visited often he had a pretty good idea of where the back exit would be. You lost all sense of direction as Obi lead you forward. Not worried in the slightest about getting lost you took in all the artwork and architecture as you went by. Everything about the First Company was elegant and gorgeous. But not as gorgeous as the air that sudden tossed your hair around. You and Obi stood outside finally in the fall atmosphere that seemed to make you soar. Taking a deep breath you looked up at your rescuer with a big grin.

“Now let’s go have some fun,” you crowed leaping down the steps Obi hot on your heels.

Not too far from the cathedral there was a small street fair happening hosting a few Halloween themed games and tents that advertised different foods and drinks. Obi was your loyal protector as you drug him around the different tents. He had loosened his tie and unbuttoned a few of his shirt buttons making himself more comfortable while you had taken your hair down and removed your jewelry that was now safely housed in Obi’s pants pocket. While there had been several types of food at the Fire Force get together all the spread had seemed too fancy and unappetizing but now as you sat with different foods from different stalls you felt much more comfortable and hungry. Obi had left to go snag a couple cups of hot apple cider when you dug in. The chilly breeze shot through you and you shivered but it was still much better than being trapped in a stuffy building. A large uniform coat was draped over your shoulders after your shiver. Looking up you saw Obi towering over you with a cup in hand. He had already sat yours down before putting his warm coat over you.

“I should have worn a heavier jacket,” you smiled sheepishly taking a sip of the hot liquid. It warmed you from your fingers to your toes. This time your shiver was in delight.

“You can use mine,” Obi replied sitting back down beside you.

“Won’t you get cold?” You were thankful that he was willing to go cold the rest of the evening for your sake, but you still worried about him getting sick.

“Nah,” he waved off your worries. “I don’t plan on us sticking around outside for long.”

You deflated unhappy that your Halloween night had pretty much been wasted. There had been so much you wanted to celebrate with Obi and now the hour was waning down.

“I think you misinterpreted what I meant,” whatever warmth he had held was transformed into a sly look. “We’re not going home. The evening is far from over.”

“Consider me intrigued Captain,” you winked taking another sip of cider.

“I rented a hotel room not far from here,” Obi spoke taking your hand to kiss the top of. “I am all yours all night until the morning.”

“I like the sound of that,” you purred taking Obi’s loosened tie in your hand. You pulled him down towards you stealing a kiss. When you pulled away Obi placed his large hand behind your head and brought you back into him. Your senses overflowed with his passionate kiss that still tasted like cider, while the natural smell of Obi penetrated deep within you, and the smells of autumn and spices littered the chilly air. After parting from each other you both cleaned up your mess fast and hurried along to the hotel that Obi had booked. What started out as a Halloween that you would remember as boring quickly took a turn into one of the best that you would remember for a very long time.

Been meaning to ask a few of these uncommon questions for a while – your ocs are very cool and I want to know more! But life keeps happening and distracting me :(

Could you answer 7 for Azrael and 2 for Asmo? And I'm interested in 21 for both! I'm also very curious about A and B too! Feel free to pick and choose if this is too much for one ask!

(and sorry if you've been asked these before!)

PS. Saw on twitter that you'd made the deadline for your VN work - congratulations!

Aaa that means so much and I'm glad you like my OCs. I hope things will get better for you soon. Hang in there, I'm rooting for ya!! ♥

7. What triggers nostalgia for Azrael, most often? Does he enjoy that feeling?

Food, I think! He didn't grow up with many good memories but food has always been very comforting throughout his childhood. Hmm, I believe that he does! It's more along the lines of bittersweetness.

2. How easy is it for Asmodeus to laugh?

So very very easy! Asmo is your resident goofy silly sunshiney boi. ; v ;;

21. Why do they get up in the morning?

Azrael - To take the doggos out for a jog and to go to work. The 2 things that actually bring him some form of joy! xD Az loves his kids and he loves his work. [ Copied from a previous ask ]

Asmodeus - To go to uni unwillingly...He was forced by his brother to pursue his degree. xD But getting to hang out with his friends and go to football practice makes going there worthwhile!

A) Why are you excited about this character?

Azrael - It's honestly just because I have always been very obsessed with Death. The Angel of Death is my absolute favourite "being" and they are automatically my favourite in whatever media they appear in.

My Azrael has gone through many changes over the years and my love and excitement for him has not stopped growing. He's just a character that ticks all the boxes for me! :>

Asmodeus - He actually makes me so damn happy- It makes no sense to me honestly! xD Is it weird to say that Asmo makes me want to become a better person? He's a kind, sweet and bubbly character that views the world in such a positive light...It's nice.

B) What inspired you to create them?

All of my OCs are actually AU versions of my Angel-verse! Hence, the (weird) biblical names!! I've changed most of their names to better suit the modern setting (e.g. Amadeo, Belvan, Josias etc.) which is reflected in all the VNs they've appeared in. And I'm sure you can tell that I can't seem to change my habit of calling them by their biblical names... xD

Thus I was inspired by the angels and demons to create my OCs' earliest renditions...But for the Uni-verse? I made the decision to move them over because it's just easier for me to create and develop them. (Without getting too many unwanted comments from people because it touches on religion...I unfortunately shared it with irl people that weren't very open-minded so I just stopped. That was late-2014 I think aklsdfjalksdf)

I was in uni at the time and I have always been into Mafia-related media so I guess I just mixed both of those together! :>

Hopefully my long wall of text makes sense! ;; V ;; Thank you so much for these questions, they really got my brain working! And thank you for your kind words!! I honestly can't wait to share the VN with everyone. It's going to be a Halloween-themed one! >:]c

[unknown-jewel]

Little details/things to think about/things to appreciate in Motorcity: 

- Mike is always dropping un-prompted compliments into conversations with his friends (calling Dutch “the best mechanic in Motorcity” in “Like Father, Like Daughter”, calling Chuck a genius in “Vega”, etc). It’s really sweet. X3

- The Duke’s security system said “Ouch” when Julie shorted it out in “The Duke of Detroit”

- Mike is very protective of his bobblehead dog. He held onto it during the Detroit Doom Jump, so it wouldn’t get damaged in the explosion. And he made sure to take it with him even when he abandoned Mutt in the finale. He really loves that thing.

- In “Vega” when the Duke is proposing that they team up, it looks like Roth and Cyborg Dan are about to fight. Do they have beef with each other? XD

- In “Like Father, Like Daughter” when they’re all discussing what they would do to torment Kane, Chuck is the only one whose idea would have instantly killed him

- In Texas’ imagination sequence in “Texas-ify It” everyone else gets carried (semi)comfortably on Texas’ back, while Chuck gets dragged behind him like a sack of potatoes. Even in an imaginary scenario Chuck can’t catch a break.

- Chuck only has nine toes, and he’s afraid of cats. These are both canon facts that the show mentions once, then never brings up again.

- Claire was just casually watching cartoons, while everyone else was fighting for their lives with the climator. XD

- The show never states or gives any hint that Motorcity has any sort of government

- Claire was so excited to help during the big battle at the climax of “Julie and the Amazons”. It’s cute. :3

- Based on “The Duke of Detroit” and “Vendetta” it seems Chuck has a big appetite

- Chuck and Texas are both visibly amused by Julie’s “Their moms forgot to pick them up from hockey practice” joke in “The Duke of Detroit”

- Kaia sounds so awkward when speaking to Mike after she left him for dead. Like she legitimately didn’t think he’d survive and now she doesn’t know what to say upon seeing that he has.

- Kane hates cars and banned them... but he’s actually a really good driver?

- Mike is the only one of the Burners who doesn’t have friends outside the group

- Claire seems a lot more receptive to Chuck’s advances when he acts more confident (see “Fearless” and the ending of “Reunion”)

- Chuck and Claire both like puns (see “Ride of the Fantasy Vans” and “Mayhem Night”)

- Mike stress-cleans

- Most animal species are probably extinct in the show’s setting

- The brown parts of the Duke’s hair don’t seem to be attached to the blond parts. They look like extensions.

- Julie has a paper with little cat sketches on it pinned to her bedroom wall. Did she sketch them herself? Or was it one of her friends?

- Julie wears high heels, but is still the shortest person in her friend group

- In “Julie and the Amazons” Claire could have said “Then you met the Burners” or “Then you came to Motorcity” instead of “Then you met Mike” and gotten the same point across. But she felt the need to single Mike out. My Jukebox brain refuses to let that go. X3

- Jacob suffers from chronic night terrors (see “The Robo-Roundup”) :(

- Jacob immediately goes to Mike for comfort when it seems like the Mama’s Boys have killed Roth

- The location captions in “Threat Level: Texas” are perfect. “The Duke’s Stupid House” is my favorite. XD

- In “Mayhem Night” Mike says “You remember last year” when addressing the whole group. The Burners were definitely already formed by Halloween of the previous year.

- Julie seemed pretty happy about Claire kissing Chuck. Does she ship them as much as Mike does?

- Dutch was so ready to throw hands with the Duke in the finale

[phoomwhoosh]

#1 What led you to start writing fan fiction? 

Just in general, I started writing fanfiction because I wanted to do something I thought was cool with my Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2 characters. I stopped writing it probably because it was kind of overly ambitious and didn't actually fit together the way I'd been hoping. Also could've been my computer died because it kept doing that a lot back then.

Now, I started writing Karate Kid fanfic because, well, I watched the fourth movie and went "wait, we're not gonna see Daniel unpack ANY of what happened in the third movie?" At the time, Cobra Kai was about to go into its third season and it seemed like he still hadn't unpacked a single thing. So, I went, "Yeah, okay, I'LL have Daniel try to unpack some stuff via fic." And then I gave him more trauma. XD He's suffered like many of my original characters have lol.

What keeps me writing is that I do really enjoy it and have fun putting everyone in Situations. I've got plans for the Reverse Bang and at least one fic for the Halloween event and I'm just...really excited about these stories!

Thanks for the question! (Which is from here.)

The Guessing Games Announcement

Hiya, everybody! I hope you had a great spooky month and a happy Halloween! ^w^ First, I want to give a huge thank you for all the response I've gotten for the Veiled Links announcement post! To see everyone so excited makes me even more eager to see you guys play it once it's done! <3 Secondly, I've got a couple of messages of a more spoilery nature from users since the announcement was posted, and I've been jumping in my seat to spill the beans about everything and anything. But what's the fun in just giving away spoilers? XD And with that said... Thirdly: I've decided to have some fun by hosting a small series of Guessing Games (GGs)!

What does that mean, you might ask? Well, it means we're going to have a little fun in the VRAINS fandom to see who can guess which characters will appear in Veiled Links. :3 Here's the general breakdown of how this will work: 1.) The first three rounds for the GGs will be for the exclusive love interests (LIs) that I hinted at in the announcement post, and all the other rounds will be for the characters who will be featured in VL as supporting characters (SCs).

2.) Each round will be held on a specific date of my choosing.

3.) A hint on a character's identity will be provided, and the first user who can correctly guess their identity is the winner! The winner will receive an exclusive screenshot from VL of said character as a prize via their DMs (no reposting/sharing).

Once the round is over, I'll reveal the character's identity for everyone else in a general post. I will publish a separate post that lists the rules in more detail and the date for the first round.

That's it for now, guys. Hope you'll look forward to it! ^w^
