oh the pains of liking a character no fanfiction writer/roleplayer writes for

[howlingday]

Jaune: (Knock, knock, knock) Hang on, hang on... I swear if this is Yang pulling another prank-!

Nora: (Muffled) It's not! It's me, Jaune!

Jaune: Nora? (Opens door) Uh, sure! Come in!

Nora: Thanks, Jaune! (Walks in) I gotta tell somebody about this.

Jaune: Alright... This isn't another Yang prank is it?

Nora: No, no! Yang isn't part of this at all! There's something I gotta tell you. See, I've been thinking alot about how much I respect you as our leader-

Jaune: Well, I respect you, too.

Nora: O-Oh! Um, thanks. So, there's this thing that's been bugging me, but... I don't know how to tell you this.

Jaune: Is everything alright?

Nora: It's... a lot for me to say, and I'm worried what will happen when I say it. (Sighs) But I talked to Ruby about it and she's telling me to go for it.

Jaune: You... talked to Ruby?

Nora: Y-Yeah...

Jaune: I think... I know what you're going to say.

Nora: R-Really?

Jaune: Yeah, I'm really excited for it, too! Thinking about hearing it just makes me tingle all over!

Nora: I... I'm surprised! I didn't think you'd notice! But since you do, when I tell everyone else, will you back me up?

Jaune: Of course I will! I am your leader, after all.

Nora: ...Thank you, Jaune. It's weird, though, because I thought you'd be against it. Now I'm sad we didn't talk about it sooner.

Jaune: Yeah, me, too.

Nora: Um, I better go. I don't want to spoil the surprise for everyone. Ruby said she'd help me make the final push for what I've been thinking about.

Jaune: I... don't really know what you mean by that, but I'll trust you.

Nora: Thanks, Jaune. Goodnight~! (Skips out)

Jaune: Goodnight, Nora. (Shuts the door)

Nora: (Giddy) HE LOVES ME, TOO!

Jaune: (Smiling) She respects me as a leader!

Friendship [I couldn't think of a better title] | Hello Puppets and Hello Puppets: Midnight Show

A/N: tagging @graceandtheidiotsquad and @youreternallover but anyone can read }:). Basically my take on an episode of Mortimer's Handeemen.

Warnings: arguments, but that's basically it I think.

[The Mortimer's Handeemen theme song plays.]

[For the opening scene, we see a woman with messy, black hair and brown eyes. She wears a red sweater, casual leggings, and a black jacket, open. She seems to notice the viewers' presence, addressing us as if we were actually there.]

OLIVIA GUBBERSON: Oh, I almost didn't see you there!

[She chuckles, pulling on the neck of her sweater.]

OLIVIA GUBBERSON: Today we're going to be learning all about friendshi-

[Suddenly, a crash and a yell is heard from the other room. Olivia's expression suddenly changes to one of concern.]

OLIVIA GUBBERSON: Oh no...I'd better go and check that out.

[OLIVIA walks into the other room, to see her younger brother OWEN GUBBERSON holding RILEY RUCKUS back as she seems to still be attempting to lunge at NICK NACK. BELLA THE BALLERINA and DAISY DANGER are helping him attempt to break it up.]

OLIVIA GUBBERSON: What On Earth Is Going On Here?

OWEN GUBBERSON: ...I have this under control, Liv!

[he says, while clearly not having this under control]

[strangely, the puppets seem to be...moving on their own, almost? Neither of the humans question this.]

NICK NACK: You - You stupid wench! You wouldn't appreciate good art if it hit you with a wrench!

[RILEY RUCKUS manages to break free from OWEN and punches NICK NACK in the face. OLIVIA facepalms.]

[Once again music starts to play. Cue a musical number!]

OLIVIA GUBBERSON: So you've gone and called someone stupid-

BELLA THE BALLERINA: And in response, they damaged your eye-

[She gestures to her eye.]

BELLA THE BALLERINA: But here is where the conflict must end, lest you both end up blind.

OLIVIA GUBBERSON:

Sometimes the problems at play Are not all plain to see So we lash out at our loved ones Disregarding our bond sanctity

DAISY DANGER:

There are several sides To us that may seem abstract at first Until we discover where everything fits, and People can be like a half-missing puzzle set; As we find the pieces Things make more and more sense!

OWEN GUBBERSON: Nice Imagery, but I'm not sure I follow.

DAISY DANGER: Well, hon, I'll give you an example!

I had this problem where I'd Often hide my less-than-awesome feelings So when I would feel like sobbing, I'd just smile and crack jokes! I thought that that was coping, only joking Never showing sadness Hoping it would go away!

RILEY RUCKUS: Did that work?

DAISY DANGER: Nope! I felt bad!

NICK NACK: Aw, Daisy...

DAISY DANGER: It's okay!

OWEN GUBBERSON: How's that?

DAISY DANGER:

Everybody gets sad Even when you have people to care for And therefore You don't have to hide your pain Life without rainy days Is incomplete

RILEY RUCKUS: Or impossible, really. Rain goes to plants, plants feed animals, plant-eating animals feed animal-eating animals and humans feed animals corn and inject them with hormones until they can barely walk anymore!

OLIVIA GUBBERSON: Riley? How does all that relate to rain?

DAISY DANGER: Putting it simply, rain is a necessary piece of the puzzle that is life!

RILEY RUCKUS: So true. Are we done singing or is this just one of those musical interludes?

BELLA THE BALLERINA: On the subject of storm clouds... 'Cause, you know. You need. Storm clouds to make. Rain I'm just gonna get into it...

You once knew me as real gloomy This weird spooky, broody gal 'Cause I knew you'd listen to me As too scary to ignore I thought that I could take it All the hate could just be shaken But when you lo— care for someone! Not much hurts more than their scorn I also felt bad

NICK NACK: Come, now...

BELLA THE BALLERINA: In a different way!

OLIVIA GUBBERSON: Different how?

BELLA THE BALLERINA: By bad, I mean, well, bad, I did what I thought that I had to, which is bad too! I don't have to act all tough sometimes love is enough...

DAISY DANGER: Or what we need!

RILEY RUCKUS:

That was a quaint little review Of things that we already knew Now, can our discourse resume? There's pressing matters at hand

OWEN GUBBERSON: Actually, that was for your benefit.

RILEY RUCKUS: I don't see how that could be relevant.

DAISY DANGER: Riley, please!

OWEN GUBBERSON: Our goals benevolent!

RILEY RUCKUS: You know me, I don't care for sentiment.

NICK NACK: OMG!

OWEN GUBBERSON & RILEY RUCKUS:

This serves as a testament To the fact-

RILEY RUCKUS: That to me, you're negligent-

OWEN GUBBERSON: [at the same time as Riley] that you have a temperament!-

BOTH:

Which is FINE!

RILEY RUCKUS: It just works to your detriment-

OWEN GUBBERSON: you just haven't accepted it-

BOTH:

You not letting me finish is proving my-/if you let me finish they'd get to the-

BELLA THE BALLERINA: HEY!

[the two snap their attention in her direction]

BELLA THE BALLERINA: You're lost!

RILEY RUCKUS: I'm right here...

BELLA THE BALLERINA: It's okay!

RILEY RUCKUS: You're acting weird...

BELLA THE BALLERINA: I was lost once too, but thanks to all of you life sucks less now!

ALL: We're your best pals!

BELLA THE BALLERINA: No one wants to be a joke...

ALL: But a life free of jokes is incomplete!

NICK NACK: Guys do you mind if I contribute to this weird, vent-ey song?

OLIVIA GUBBERSON: Please, do!

NICK NACK:

I've got an issue That feels new-school; I don't wanna say I'm too cool But I'm just too fab for you fools And I feel like you don't get me!

OWEN GUBBERSON: You've insulted us while venting!

NICK NACK: ...Sorry!

OLIVIA GUBBERSON: It's alright, Nick, honestly it didn't hurt me, it's clear you're the one who's hurting.

NICK NACK: Huh?

BELLA THE BALLERINA: You feel low!

NICK NACK: That's not true!

DAISY DANGER: It's Okay!

NICK NACK: Don't Assume!

OWEN GUBBERSON: You don't have to save face!

BELLA THE BALLERINA: In almost any case we embrace you!

NICK NACK: [sarcastic] that's rich!

DAISY DANGER: No one hates you!

ALL: Everybody's got flaws!

DAISY DANGER: But with no you at all, we're incomplete!

OLIVIA GUBBERSON:

There! Now you see! Everybody goes wrong And we put it in song So it's easier To hear it!

OWEN GUBBERSON:

This puzzle's tough I'll admit But in time We'll find where everything fits!

[musical number end.]

OLIVIA GUBBERSON: So, do you too have something to say to each other?

NICK NACK: [heavy, dramatic sigh] I'm sorry I called you stupid. And a wench.

RILEY RUCKUS: [muttering, annoyed] sorry I hit you.

OLIVIA GUBBERSON: Well, I'm glad we got that one sorted out.

OWEN GUBBERSON: I could've handled it.

OLIVIA GUBBERSON: Of course you could, little brother.

OWEN GUBBERSON: Hey! You're only 12 minutes older than me.

[Olivia only chuckles and turns to the audience again.]

OLIVIA GUBBERSON: See you all next time!

[Once again, the theme song plays.]

help me. All my hyperfixations are crashing in at once.

(please please please please talk to me about any of the things I have tagged)

[howlingday]

Ruby: Um, hi? Do you know where the storage closet is?

Ozpin: The storage closet?

Ruby: Yeah. Uh, my name is Ruby. It's my first day, but I can't find anything in here because I'm so nervous. I haven't even met the headmaster, but he's supposed to be this weird creepy nutjob recluse who's always holed up in his office.

Ozpin: ...I am the headmaster.

Ruby: Hahaha... Oh... Oh, you're not kidding...

[asktheforgottenballerina]

applicable to all of my muses here, just say which one[s] so it's clear

My character is under a truth serum, ask them anything.

MY CHARACTER HAS TO ANSWER TRUTHFULLY, NO MATTER THE QUESTION.

[asktheforgottenballerina]

A Memory?

It started out just like any other day.

Olivia showed up at the studio, ready to help Owen with an episode, just like she always did. She knocked on the door...but there was no answer. She assumed he was just busy and hadn't heard her, so she knocked again. Once again, no answer. "....Owen? That's it, I'm coming in." She took out a spare key, letting herself into the building.

"Whatever this is, it isn't funny, Owen." She felt a chill pass through her body...as she heard a chuckle that almost sounded like...Mortimer? "Owen....This really isn't funny...." She clutched a flashlight in her hand, looking around.

There, Right in front of her...was Mortimer Handee, attached to the hand of a girl wearing a white and blue shirt and a bag over her head. "Father isn't here right now, he said he had a pain in the head, why don't you play with us instead?" She shuddered. It wasn't that Mortimer was talking to her - no, she knew The Handeemen were alive, Owen had told her about the spellbook.

...But his tone...

"Mortimer...did you do something?" She messed with the neck of her sweater, eyeing the puppet with suspicion. "Done something, me? Of course not! What's got you thinking so pessimistically?"

"I'm....just gonna go."

"What a shame you couldn't stay. Oh well, be sure to come back if you want to play!"

After a while of aimless wandering, not really sure why, Olivia found a door. Pushing it open, she was greeted by the back of a chair. "Owen, I swear-" She tilted her head...something felt off. She inched closer, flashlight in hand, and turned the chair around. She instantly regretted it, feeling herself about to vomit. She backed up, smacking into the wall and dropping her torch. It was Owen in the chair, alright.

But his entire lower half had been removed, felt puppet hands stitched where his own should be.

"God, what did they do to you?"

That was when Mortimer burst into the room.

"NO, NO, NO, THIS CAN'T BE! YOU'VE WITNESSED SOMETHING YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO SEE!"

A Dog Person🐶 and a Cat Person🐱

I love both cats and dogs. But since I grew up with dogs, I’m more of a dog person (Sorry, Nicholas).

Anyway, I realized that I didn’t draw Rosco often, so here he is. I also draw @aroaceweirdos101’s OC named Angel B. Whiskers, who is Nick’s pet cat. I had fun drawing her and I hope you like it. 😊

“ look, i get the whole lone wolf thing, trust me, i do. but… you do understand that there’ll always be a place here for you, don’t you? that door is always open to you, no matter what. that’s a promise. “

“ why don’t i make you a cup of tea, and you can tell me all about it? “

“ [NAME]? hey, hey, hey, what’s the matter? are you okay? what’s wrong? oh, come here… “

“ jeez, i don’t even wanna know how you got that battle wound there; sit down and let me fix it up, won’t you? “

“ i watched that show you recommended last week! it was so good! can you believe that season finale, though? “

“ you should get some sleep, okay? my room is just down the hall if you need anything. “

“ you don’t need to be so polite around here, you know! help yourself; i don’t bite! “

“ hey now, never apologize for feeling emotions, okay? humans are meant to feel all this stuff, no matter how good or bad the feelings are. besides; shoulders are built to be cried on! “

“ you should keep that sweater! it looks much better on you than it does on me; brings out your eyes! “

“ don’t worry about it, okay? no apologies necessary; just breathe, everything’s good. “

“ here, grab a plate; i made your favorite, and there’s more than enough for you to have seconds and take home a tonne of leftovers, too! “

“ would you mind setting the table for me while i finish up in the kitchen? “

“ you want some hot cocoa before you go to bed? i’m more than happy to have one with you; not to praise myself or anything, but my hot cocoa is the best in town! “

“ you did it! oh, congratulations! quick, i’m gonna fetch the sparkling cider, and then i’ll book a table somewhere fancy; we’re going to celebrate in style! “

“ oh god, you’re burning up a fever, you poor thing! here, lie down, let’s get you some water and a nice cool cloth, huh? “

“ how are you feeling? i thought you might be hungry, so i made some tea and toast. “

“ i thought i might find you out here… this must be your favorite spot, huh? it’s nice! “

“ how are you? and be real with me, now; i can tell when you’re not being honest with me. you’ve got a tell. “

“ figured you might be needing an extra blanket in this weather. you mind if i sit with you for a while? “

“ let’s go for a walk, huh? i know this place that does the best coffee you’ll ever have! “

“ i can’t believe you’ve never seen this movie before! we have to fix this immediately; you get the popcorn, i’ll order in the pizza and get the tv set up. “

“ wow… that pun was so awful, it actually became good again. nicely done! “

“ i know you have that meeting today, so i thought i’d come wish you luck. and give you my lucky socks! “

“ hey! i hope you’re hungry, i spared you some waffles and pancakes from breakfast this morning! “

“ maybe you’re not ready to talk just now. but i want you to know that, whenever you are, my door is always open to you. understand? “

“ i’m not here to say i told you so, don’t worry. i’m not that cruel. i’m just here to comfort my friend. “

“ you’re here so often, i figured it was about time you had your very own mug! “

“ do you mind if i put you down as my emergency contact? “

“ you should move in with me! i have a spare room, the rent is cheap, it’s closer to work… i mean, only if you want to, but i’m very much in favor of this! “

“ i know that things haven’t been easy for you lately, so… i was thinking, maybe we could plan a little vacation together? “

“ pull the car over, alright? you can get some sleep in the back seat, and i’ll take over the driving. “

“ woah, woah, woah… slow it down a few miles, huh? what’s going on? where’s the fire? “

“ do you want a hug? i give some really good hugs; i nearly got voted the best hug-giver in the continent, once! come on, you know you want to! “

“ hey! so i’m after having a really crappy day. you wanna get take-out and watch a movie at my place tonight? “

“ i remember you saying you didn’t like this ingredient last time, so i fixed you up something else. “

Hello Puppets Headcanons: Injuries

This is the injuries all of my interps and OCs from Hello Puppets and Hello Puppets: Midnight Show have.

Nick Nack:

Fire damage. His arms are badly scarred but he covers it up with his turtleneck and jacket.

A crack on the left side of his face from when Mortimer got so angry at him he physically threw him and he hit the wall.

Riley Ruckus:

Her jaw and mouth. Similar to Nick's face, Mortimer once lost his temper so badly he ripped off her mouth. She managed to fix it but it's still crooked so she wears the mask Nick made for her to cover it.

One of her arms is also fire damaged, although not as badly as Nick.

Bella The Ballerina:

Her eyes. Her eyes are mismatched because she got into a physical fight with Mortimer over how he treats Nick and he ripped out her eye. Owen replaced it but couldn't find one that matched.

Her cracks. Her entire body is covered in cracks from Mortimer losing his temper with her.

Her entire body is also covered in small holes from ripping her strings off (she's a marionette unlike a hand puppet like the others)

Ashley Anderson:

A circular scar going right around her wrist from where Scout was attached to her arm.

Scarred lips from where she cut the stitches on her mouth.

Olivia Gubberson:

Many scars from her and Owens' father - she always took beatings for him whenever she could.

Scarring on one of her arms and her side from the fire as she lost consciousness as the building burned down. She didn't know but it was Owen that dragged her out and brought her to Ashley and her friends.
