"I go into the kitchen to find some lunch and am surprised to find a teenage boy sitting alone at the kitchen table, eating a bowl of cereal. He asks me who I am, and I explain that I won’t be staying long, probably no more than a week, that I’m just here renting a room. To say that his response confuses me would be an understatement, since right away he replies: “That’s probably my old room. I used to live here.” It is completely tactless of me, and perhaps even dangerous, but without thinking I blurt out: “Did you murder your brother?” He doesn’t seem at all disturbed by my tactlessness, has clearly heard it all before. His voice is extremely calm as he explains: “No, I didn’t murder my brother. Very sadly, my brother killed himself. He wasn’t well. My parents know this but pretend they don’t. I suppose they think there’s something shameful about suicide, something shameful about mental illness. So they pretend something happened that didn’t. My mother even told the press she’s going to write a book about it. For some reason they find it less shameful to have a son who’s a famous murderer. This aspect of their worldview makes absolutely no sense to me. I mostly live in the forest nearby, sometimes I hide here in the basement when it rains. I still have the key so when I’m hungry I come and take some food. My parents know all this but pretend they don’t. They prefer to think of me somewhere out there in the big wide world, on the lam, to think of our life like some Hollywood movie. They’ve told the police I ran far away so, for now, it seems the police aren’t looking for me around here. But I assume sooner or later they’re going to figure it out.” I tried to understand whether or not he was lying to me and, if so, to what end. It certainly didn’t feel like a lie, as improbable as it all might sound. I say: “Your parents just decided you murdered your brother?” Son says: “No, the police told them I murdered my brother. And they decided to go with the official account.” Just then we hear a key in the front door and the son says he better be going, slipping out the back before I can stop him." - Jacob Wren, from the novel-in-progress Desire Without Expectation

Ok so here's the basics for my newsies Hadestown AU!! Please ask any questions you have I would love to yap more about this!

Orpheus - Jack Kelly  Both artistic, hopeless romantic young men with a desire to find/do something more. He loves hard and fast, but not easy. Wait for me is a perfect song for him, I think it really works.

Eurydice - David Jacobs  There's really no other way I would've done this, let's be real. He’s more hesitant, but has a strong mind, with doubt creeping in. He falls in love despite himself. All I've ever known would do a great job showing his journey

Hermes - Crutchie Morris   He has seen this happen before. He hates it sometimes, but he knows someone needs to tell his ‘brothers’ tale. He’s trying to let himself be optimistic, and sometimes it works…almost. But he loves Jack and David too much to let it not be told again

Persephone - Racetrack Higgins  He has long since given up being taken seriously for a little fun. He loves hard. He likes to drink and to party, it makes it all bearable. He loves his husband, but misses how he was and hates how he’s becoming. He knows how this story goes and he couldn’t care less because he knows happiness will be found again, even if sadness is found again too.

Hades - Spot Conlon  He knows he needs to give up the little things to succeed, and it’s almost a sacrifice he is willing to make. He loves hard too, in his own way. He is cold to the world, because the world was cold to him. But he is going to fix it, whatever it takes, because he knows he can do it. He loves his husband, and knows Race disapproves, and he hates it, but it is necessary. He does what is necessary. (Also Why we build the wall is so perfect for him)

The fates - I’ll be the first to admit this was a difficult decision, and so i’m going to lay out my thoughts because truth be told I have not fully decided yet. One of my first thoughts was Les, Sarah and Ester. They haunt David. I like this, but Mayer is left out and so I’m not sure it works. My other thought, which I’m leaning towards, is 3 newsies. I think this would be Buttons, Mush, and maybe Finch. These three as a whole are kinda a weird trio, I admit, but I think as a whole they would be able to function much as the Fates do. Buttons has the sewing aspect, Mush would really be able to push the story and David around as the Fates need to, and Finch has the forethought and careful consideration, but also pushiness and 'inquisition' that rounds out these three as the Fates. Katherine would also work as one of the Fates :)

The chorus and workers are the rest of the newsies ^_^

Post-Credit Scene – There is no post-credit scene.Disclosure – I paid for the Binge service that viewed this film.Warning – Contains scenes that may cause distress. How to Make Gravy Review – One of the many…

I deeply apologize for the person I’m about to become this week with both the Ahsoka premiere and All In. The fact that they’re the same week was made to kill me, I know it.

Anyone as excited as I am for both and also unable to contain it?

Hi!!! I have a question :] If you where to give the voices human names, what would you call them? I like to think the voice of the hero would be named Theodore. Along with that, it’d be awesome if you gave the princess and the players names :]

Hello!! Thanks for such a fun question, @just-a-itty-bitty-kitty and I talked it over so first, big thanks to Kitty for all their help!!!! We have explanations for the names we chose not only for all the voices but the vessels too! (I also took the opportunity to touch up my old human voice designs!!)

First batch:

Hero -> Robin : This was one the simplest to come up with but I really like it! I love robin based designs for Heros, and this name invokes Robin Hood and Christopher Robin vibes which I really like! :)

Base Princess -> Sarah : Literally means "Princess", it's perfect.

Broken -> Will : Its a pun/reference to his "broken will". Fitting since his ch 2 is all about agency or lack thereof!

Tower -> Adeline : Tower has SO many good name options!!!! We went with Adeline because it means "noble", but other options we considered were Maria or Hera.

Paranoid -> Harvey : Though the name was initially suggested for vibes, it ended up sticking for the reference to William Harvey, an English physician and the first person to describe in detail the pulmonary and circulatory system!! And Paranoid's the heart liver nerves guy!!! What a perfect match :D

Nightmare -> Annabelle : Famous haunted doll!

Stubborn -> Brutus : The name I think says it all, it sounds like "brute" and means heavy!

Adversary -> Vicky : A shorter, sharper version of the regal sounding Victoria! And "victory" is in the name!

Next round:

Cheated -> Jack : Another easy to decipher choice. Blackjack is a card game, and the way he brings in all the other voices and their various skills for his ch 2 route makes him a "Jack of all trades"!

Razor -> Jill : As the nursery rhyme goes, "Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after" Jack (Cheated, as well as the other voices) get silenced first in Razor's ch 4, but Razor isn't far behind from being silenced herself, so the order of events in the rhyme matches. Jill also means "sweetheart" which is fun since it matches how she initially presents herself. It also rhymes with "kill".

Skeptic -> Cliff : Just as a climber always searches for new heights to reach, Skeptic is always on the hunt for answers! Also you fall in the Cage's route, "falling off a cliff", you get it. Full name is Cliff Grey!

Prisoner -> Cordelia : Regal sounding + Cord-elia, she uses her chains as cords in her new chapter 3! Full name is Cordelia Grey!

Opportunist -> Oliver : if you asked Opportunist what his name was, he'd tell you the name of one of his many aliases (Malcom, Jacob, Trey, Sylvester, Nick) but his real name is Oliver! It's a sweeter name than expected, just hidden behind many, many, layers. And it starts with "O"!

Witch -> Hilda : Perfect name for a witch!!

Smitten -> Romeo : I'm almost tempted to say someone calls Smitten this in-game, the connection is so obvious.

Damsel -> Daisy : It's the name of the same flower traditionally used for games of "he loves me, he loves me not", a game all about true love - that leaves a flower petal-less by the end. Her full name is Daisy Grey (sister of Cordelia!)

Final section!

Cold -> Cain : Cain's the first killer in the Bible, fits with Cold's ch 1 lead-in! We also considered Isaac since the vibes fit him so well.

Spectra -> Mary : Mary's a sweet name, but combine it with the idea of ghosts and you end up with "Bloody Mary". Fitting for the two sides she flips back and forth with in her chapter. (runner-up was Carrie)

Contrarian -> Shena : Short for "Shenanigans"!

Stranger -> Catherine : And Kathy, Catie, Kate, and Kitty. Chosen for all the different ways you can spell it and it's many off shoots!

Hunted -> Wren : Wren is a species of prey animal, specifically very small birds.

Beast -> Messalina : means "she who has an insatiable appetite", which is fitting! Also still sounds regal, which I love for Beast.

And Kitty and I agreed not to do ch 3s because that would be way too many but just as a bonus round for the two we accidentally did do:

HEA -> Theodosia : means "god's gift", something about calling her a "gift" slots right into some HEA analysis

Thorn -> Briar : Essentially just means "thorns", perfect

And that's it!! Thank you again to Kitty for all the help!!!

To add onto my b-boy au here's some other random things:

They're all high school/college age and live in New York City.

Jojo is nonbinary and uses they/any pronouns.

Katherine stays an amateur reporter, she interviews the troupe for an article on city culture and quickly falls in with them as a friend group.

Crutchie and Jack are brothers, Crutchie works at a corner store and *totally doesn't* sneak the guys free snacks.

Les and Sarah hang out with them sometimes! the guys all love when they come along

Brooklyn is also a dance troupe, but i imagine they're all also skateboarders and have adventures akin to those in the show Betty

And as in generally all my stuff Medda is Races guardian, Denton is Jack and Crutchie's foster dad, and sprace & specs x katherine are in some way together/ get together

If you guys wanna hear/see more about this au please let me know!! I love feedback and yapping about these guys

Spooky Day at the Finch's.. 🎃👻

[missymoomads]

Can you take more about Connie??

yes i cannnn ! omigosh im so happy to finally yap about my sweet girl !

during hollow city when they’re staying at mrs wren’s menagerie, connie stays back with claire and fiona, trying to nurse poor claire back to health from the flu she’s suffering from.

BUT D: when the wights show up, it’s literally the one time connie goes to find something, meaning the two girls were left alone. when she comes back to see both girls gone, she starts to scream and cry. she blames herself for claire being kidnapped and taken by the wights that day.

jacob gave connie a promise ring ! omg ! when i tell you connie cherishes this ring? she wears it 25/8. it never comes off. one of the few times they were able to be alone together and things were calm, he pulled it from his pocket to give her it.

it’s small and dainty but jacob has said it ‘fits her personality perfectly.’

connie and enoch are either best friends or hate each other. there is no in between and you never know what version of them you’re going to find yourself stuck with. they are either bickering and fighting or they’re working together. there is absolutely no in between.

if connie was a song/part of a song, hands down, no doubt, she is the guitar solo from the chain by fleetwood mac. i cannot describe it but that part is her.

definitely what jacob hears when he looks at her too🤭

i cannot even express the tireless hours connie spent alongside enoch and miss peregrine trying to save victor :/

connie standing there sobbing as she’s trying to use everything she has at her disposal to save him, enoch using all the organs he has to try and help but everything proving useless in the end.

THE TWO SITTING QUIETLY AGAINST THE WALL WITH TEARS STREAMIMT DOWN THEIR FACES WHILE BEING HELD BY MISS PEREGRINE ONCE VICTOR FINALLY LEAVES THEM ☹️

i’m currently working on pinterest boards for connie + one for her and jacob :3

ALSO?! SMALL PLAYLIST PREVIEWWS :3

" As much as I'd love to say I'm someone whose fully capable of surviving an apocalypse alone. That would be a HUGE LIE. I. CANNOT. Survive this phenomenon alone, but while I was unfortunate enough to start off on my own, I was lucky enough to come across the people I'd spend the entirety of this world ending event with. " ⇁ D.R.T

WALLFLOWERS AT WORLDS END :

— Depicts the story of an early teen enduring the kickstart of an apocalypse in Canada, aiming to locate his family and surprisingly coming across the closest thing to that.

SETTING :

— Takes place in early 2000s, Pre-apocalyptic and mid apocalyptic circumstances

TAGS :

— Zombie apocalypse, cannibalism, illegal activity, drunk driving, murder, manslaughter, blood, violence, gore, mutilation, dismemberment, decapitation, implosion, major character injury, body modifications, body horror, underage drinking, underage smoking, drug use, implied/referenced overdose attempt, implied/referenced suicide, implied/referenced rape/non-con, implied/referenced infidelity, psychological torture, physical torture, minor character death, teenagers, teenagers being stupid, teenagers being teenagers, angst, slowburn, fluff, found families, platonic physical affection, lgbtq, original story - freeform, original characters

REGULATIONS :

- Avoid reposting the story without credits, especially if it's another app, please do not claim this as yours . I've worked hard on creating the very base of this book.

- Please at all costs avoid sexualizing the underage characters which involve most if not all of the main cast, this includes but is not limited to inappropriate artworks, nsfw fanfictions, explicit shipping, etcetera.

- Refrain from shipping the characters without considering what I am about to express as the author, forcing characters together out of the canon and confirmed isn't something I wish to occur, though I accept it to be inevitable. Keep in mind that the characters are mirrors to real life people that I, personally know, and I hope for you to respect my wishes, and them as well.

- Awfully specific however blatantly shaming or mocking my story is unacceptable, especially if it involves the label cringe, I dont know, it just seems quite unecessary to single out 'abnormal' behavior in teens. Just, why? No one asked you to do it, and I'm certainly not asking you to, so don't go in my inbox/notes just to say something about a character being weird.

- I feel as if these rules won't cover everything, so I'm going to be updating this in the middle of creating the story.

Olie

I would like to emphasize how iconic our girl Olive is!

She is the cover photo of the first book.

She is one of the first children Abe introduces to Jacob in his stories.

Even though she has limitations because of her gift, she is always happy.

She's the one who makes the children find Miss Wren.

She saved all her friends from death in LOS when the tower collapsed.

She was the one who inspired Jacob to cry out for ymbryne to find Miss Hawksbill

She supports her friends always

Meet Wren Warwick! I love, love, LOVE Keyframes Spring Demo! PLUS having them release a template to make something for your own MC... Chef kiss! But gosh this took me so long to do... Extra fun facts below the cut!

Comes from a family of lawyers, so felt like she had to become a lawyer in some way

If asked she what she would rather do, she will avoid the topic unless she is close with you (she really wants to become a Botanist, thus the biology minor/plant biology minor)

She has always been a people pleasure and bent to everyone elses will and despite being aware of that, she finds it hard to stop. So this year! She will try to do things for herself!

pretty good cook and likes to learn about foraging so she can gather ingredients

might be a bit frugal lol

people have said she was born with two left feet... she just doesn't have spacial awareness...

Can see alright without her glasses - Mostly needs them for seeing things from afar (near sighted)

Fun fact about her necklace! It's not really one but a long string used for making string tricks like Jacob Ladder, Kitty Whiskers and other things. She would show off what she knows but honestly she forgets she's wearing it 90% of the time

very shy and timid at first, but once she opens up to you she's a frickin weirdo

loves video games, especially cozy farming games, simulation games and visual novels :)

5'3'' in height

From the west coast of Canada. Choose this school because it was beautiful and it got her as far away from her family as possible without going across the ocean

Not the greatest relationship with her family :)))) Mainly her mother :))))
