Hmhm I love you I love the au u made I need the p l o t but I don’t want to bother you uhhh was yea ok <:)

ok!!! Basically there are 2 plots that converge, a silly lil camp in the woods and a fae love story! Let’s go under the cut for this cus I’m gonna be explaining them for a hot minute lol

I’m gonna make a breakdown of all the individual characters in a minute but for now here’s a chart I just finished so u know whos where in all this

(Eros not on here but he’s a forest folk) So I’ll give u an expo on both of the plots (feel free to come ask questions as ur reading or after ur done, I would Love to talk abt this au as much as possible)

The fae side: Eliana here’s from two of her townsfolk (the twins) that there are fae in the woods. All her fellow townspeople say they’re just being pranksters again (the amount of times they’ve tried to convince the town there’s totally a werewolf just outside of town is too many for them to be a trustworthy source- and as aspiring nightwalker hunters of course they’re trying to spot fae in every leaf and under every rock), but Eliana, curious, decides to sneak off one night to investigate. After all if there’s a fae out there, it’s her responsibility to ward it off from her town! what she finds though is not a silly lie from the twins or a terrifying manipulative monster- in A flower patch she sees her, the most beautiful charming looking fairy she’s every seen, all alone weaving a flower crown in the woods. He spots her, and although she’s scared at first and wards them with her axe, she can’t bear to attack him. they hit it off really quickly, and Shirley shows her the beauty of the hidden parts of the forest, lit up by the magic of the moon, as opposed to the normal sunlit forest Eliana is used to. She returns home at dawn with promises to come back the next day. Meanwhile Shirley goes home to his ghost husband like ‘omg I just met the prettiest lady evr, she’s coming back tomorrow can we keep her’ and Thomas is like ‘bro we already have jr‘ and Shirley is like ‘no but I want to kiss her 🥺 and hold hands 🥺🥺🥺 and trap her in the fae lands forever with me 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺’ and Thomas is obviously slightly jealous but he’s like ‘yeah whatever’ bcus he knows if Shirley does try and make out with some daywalker he’s prolly gonna kill her by accident anyways jdgfufndkc. so Eliana starts going out every night with the excuse that she’s choppin down wood, (ninas suspicious of this excuse but Michael tells her eliana wouldn’t lie,) and Shirley keeps trying to get her to stay forever and eat all their food and introduces her to Thomas and jr and stuff, and it’s nice and all but shirleys making her stay for longer and longer, and he can’t handle letting her go for even a second. Eliana doesn’t mind tho, she’s totally blind with love, and eventually she’s tells the town abt Shirley but that he’s totally not like other fae and definitely cool and there’s mixed feelings, some ‘awwww Eliana finally found a girlfriend, so sweet 🥰’s and some ‘they’re not different ur just being manipulated, we should go kill him’s and even some ‘huh, wasn’t that the name of the guy Harley was crying abt not being able to remember, lol crazy coincidence, Emerson let’s go bully harley’s.

yeah but Shirley has fucking crazy attachment issues and horrible death magic, so eventually one morning he does get REALLY upset abt his girlfriend leaving, like the whole tree (Thomas and Shirley live in a treehouse) is dying around him and Thomas is holding jr begging him to calm down, and Elianas finally like ‘hmm. Maybe this was a bad idea’ and that’s about where we are rn with that whole thing.

CAMP TIME: so as shown from chart above, there’s some ppl living in a lil forest camp together :) emi and graci moved there because they wanna learn how to hunt nightwalkers >:) there was a reason for it a couple years ago but they kind of forgot what it was (cough Shirley disappearing cough) but they’re still dead set on it! And lucky dink, as they’re moving to camp big Harley comes home to visit his brothers and ends up joining the camp for a bit since all 3 of his brothers are there! Camp Side of the story doesn’t have a ton of plot, mostly Harley low key having a crisis abt how busy his life at his actual home is and how everything feels so horribly off here even though hypothetically things haven’t changed much since he left and the twins fucking around and causing trouble around camp. Hallow thinks it’s funny that the stupid kids wanna hunt night walkers cus he is one, so he gives them the tip that theres a vampire in camp and they become dead set on it being Jane. All the kids like playing with Ben like he’s a whole ass jungle gym, he thinks it’s cute. kibi gets dragged around by emi and graci while they try to find the werewoof at the edge of town (sadly they only find Andy, darn, but he plays them some songs so not a total waste. also yes Andy is obviously the werewolf the twins are just stupid GDSHDSJD.) charlotte sits around crying and the other kids and counselors like to play a game where they all take turns trying to make her laugh (the first time the twins came to camp Emerson made her giggle, belle and Ben were so happy they were just sitting there sobbing bcus their girl finally smiled again, so Charlie quietly suggested they make it a new daily game because he hadn’t seen Ben and belle that hopeful in years :,) ). jr and Maria go around biting peoples ankles and collecting sticks. After hearing emi and graci talk abt town, Jane decided she wants to go visit town, Danny‘s super hesitant but the other 3 camp counselors all agree that since she’s 16 now she’s definitely old enough to go where she wants. While shes there she goes to a festival and meets Andy (17) and it’s nice :) also hallow has ero Boyf who visits sometimes and Danny’s got husb Sébastien who he and Jane visit a lot.

ya that’s pretty much all the plot stuff for now! there’s some more backstory stuff abt thomas dying with Charlotte watching and Shirley going missing and what not but yea that’s pretty much it :D

6, 22, 37, and A for Keith, Miriam, and Robbie!

oh ty!!! (I guess this is fair turnaround for me sending you a ton)

Keith

6. Do they consider laws flexible, or immovable?

He used to be a very tight-laced goody two-shoes, but he's since then come to view laws as suggestions that are quite often bad. He still votes on repeals and ballot questions, and knows that laws have consequences, but he doesn't care about living by them anymore.

22. How does jealousy manifest itself in them (they become possessive, they become aloof, etc)?

He's not the jealous type in relationships, but he is jealous of people who are able to do the things he can't in the professional and educational world. This takes the form of him being unsympathetic (and almost taking it personally) when they throw those opportunities away.

37. Do they have a system for remembering names, long lists of numbers, things that need to go in a certain order (like anagrams, putting things to melodies, etc)?

he writes everything down in an absurdly organized and sectioned-out notebook. When he was in school and couldn't reference things for tests, he'd spend the entire night before reading the material out loud until he had it memorized so that he could whisper it to himself reflexively if he forgot, say, a formula.

A. Why are you excited about this character?

I love playing with weird fake biology, and tbh it's a little fun to have a character that's kind-but-not-nice!

Miriam

6. Do they consider laws flexible, or immovable?

He's been around long enough to consider laws as temporary, and he never abided(sp?) by them anyways. In his mind, it doesn't matter as long as you don't get caught.

22. How does jealousy manifest itself in them (they become possessive, they become aloof, etc)?

Suppressed irritability. He's more likely to consider someone a mark for theft or blood (which I suppose is just a more violent theft) if they manage to make him jealous - but then, he usually isn't. It would take quite a lot to make him jealous, since he sees most attachments as nothing more than temporary amusement.

37. Do they have a system for remembering names, long lists of numbers, things that need to go in a certain order (like anagrams, putting things to melodies, etc)?

He'll mutter it under his breath until it's sort-of memorized or write it on his arm, depending on the situation.

A. Why are you excited about this character?

He's hot, and sometimes I need an antagonist in a story-line. But mostly it's just fun to draw him in different outfits and imagine how he interacts with other characters!

Ro

6. Do they consider laws flexible, or immovable?

He thinks they're only open for interpretation if you're in like-minded company, and it's not usually worth the risk to fuck with them.

22. How does jealousy manifest itself in them (they become possessive, they become aloof, etc)?

He distances himself from the source, and can be a little cold until something changes. It might not be nicest or the most mature way to address that, but he thinks it's better than letting himself get worked up.

37. Do they have a system for remembering names, long lists of numbers, things that need to go in a certain order (like anagrams, putting things to melodies, etc)?

Definitely the anagram and pattern-seeking type!

A. Why are you excited about this character?

I can project my joint pain sldjfkslkjdfk but also...big werewoof good. I should really play around with him more but I'm so bad at developing plots that aren't specifically character interaction based!

The Mad Monster (1942)

‘A mad scientist changes his simple-minded handyman into a werewolf in order to prove his supposedly crazy scientific theories - and exact revenge.‘

‘the movie sounds like Lawnmower Man but with Werewolf’ @villainpunk

thirty seconds into the movie and two of us see the ‘wolf’ and we just go ‘thats a gotdamn coyote’

they really waste NO time getting to the mad science, we’ve got a wolfman within five minutes (through nothing more than a simple wolfblood transfusion, apparently’

science man is trying to sell this as a miracle and @bioelectriccell said it best: ‘What kind of miracle is this. How is this in any way useful‘

oh, he wants to make an army of wolfmen, apparently.

‘ok but mad science werewoofs eat nazis is a GREAT plan actually’ @gwenfrankenstien​

debating whether this is him practicing a speech, or if he’s just hallucinating.

or if it’s just ye olde zoom meeting.

I’d like to note that this was tagged as ‘drama, horror, romance’ on IMDB.

oh the mad scientist man has a DAUGHTER here

this was apparently a double feature with The Devil Bat. It may also be the same set.

a child appeared onscreen!

whatever happened, happened offscreen but we both think the kid got ate/murdered

(confirmed several minutes later the kid did a die)

someone thinks the mystery murder beast is a dinosaur and this is funnier than it should be

‘it's wild to think blood transfusion was actually seen as crackpot science for decades’ @villainpunk​

this is part of the reason I love looking back at old mad scientist movies because its like. ‘sir this is just regular science’, minus ‘using wolf blood’.

like when radiation does anything that’s not ‘gives you the cancers’

this is just when people dress up their dogs

there’s something very charming about werewolves that are just very hairy men with sharp teeth. like. yes, those are the most important features of a wolf, apparently.

Lamenting the fact that the audio quality on my copy of this is so poor, I have misheard so many things. The Professor who gets murdered via wolfman is named Blaine, but I initially heard it as Blabe, and others got Blaze and Blame, and I’m stealing ‘Professor Blame’ as my new supervillian oc.

LOVE the old lady who just keeps trying to tell people ITS A WEREWOLF and everyone just dismisses her. one of the guys insisted at one point its a DINOSAUR or something and he wont consider WOLFMAN as a viable option.

I’m presenting this comment from @villainpunk​ without any context.

also shoutout to the phrase ‘exciting the various glands’

the wolfman has murdered a few people but we haven’t seen him eat anyone yet. I’m not sure why i’m expecting the wolfman to eat people.

‘the natural enemy of the mad scientist is the mob’ @gwenfrankenstien​

At about an hour into the movie, I realize that despite a lot of things HAPPENING, it doesn't feel like the plot has gone anywhere.

also there’s not been any romance. IMDB lied.

the wolfman spends a lot of time being very well dressed.

shoutout to another comedically abrubt ‘oh shit we gotta end this movie huh’

rated a solid ‘ok i guess’ on the beetsometer. Nothing phenomenal, but far from BAD. just got some pacing issues.

emoji of the film: sciencegasp

[Watch it on Youtube!]

[sinish-tem]

Sweet then how about Seras having a relationship with a werewolf. The guy's pretty nice, doesn't really like fighting but the moment the people he cares about are in danger, it's like he's ready to go to war with the entire world just to protect them. Even Alucard would think twice about getting into a fight with him. Also I might need to make a few anime recommendations based off of the ones you listed. Think you might like them.

OFC!if you have any recomendations please tell me. I would love to hear themAnyhoo!  Seras the muffin X her stronk af werewoof bf!-the first time she sees your werewolf form she gets a little uneasy. Thinking back to her previous werewolf encounter.-But once she gets to get used to it. She will absolutely  ADORE the fuck out of you!-I'm saying things like Cuddles on the couch and bed. lots of pets and treats. And she'll do ehr evry best to please you in both wolf form and human form!-However she didn't know how. But somehow she got herself in trouble. She got abducted by a bunch of other vamps being totall creeps!- YOU wheren't having it and gave chase. Sniffing them out like the rats they where. You stalked them to their hideout-After dismembering the 1 gaurd. You broke down the door in utter rage!- “Let go fo my wife. You filthy leeches!” you growled as threw a chair at them hitting one of them full in the face!- The second one jumped out fo the window clearly not wanting to risk fighting you-Seras gave you a big hug! ANd lots of kisses for saving- “Oh y/n my sweet pupper!”she cries out as you carry her home in your armsB O I2 requests in 1 night. I'm on a roll tonight!Thanky ou so much for the request!

[came-out-of-the-coffin-desisted]

hmmm…. should i finally change my url? i have a lot of them stacked but i feel like i gotta get more vampire centric, y’know? i just hate changing it bc then i gotta make the un 1 -> un 2 posts. also my usual ones are taken bc all the goths are on here. anyway vote below on

1. stay the same

2. butchdracula (taken by somebody who doesn’t use it so i might have to beg on my hands and knees)

3.elviras-ghoul-husband (get it. her ghoul husband)

4. grandpamunster (i love him he’s one of the vampires of all time BUT somebody else has this one too)

5. dilfdracula (MIRACULOUSLY this one’s not taken so before i post this i’m saving it. if i don’t pick it and somebody else wants it i’ll share immediately bc i’m not a url hoarder) edit: they cruelly wouldn’t let me have this one

6. truebloodapologist (idk about this one, it might make it seem like i like alan ball and i don’t want to rip him to shreds with my teeth like a rabid wolf with a stuffed animal)

7. vampireelectronica (kind of reductive. i could substitute a different genre i guess)

8.vampireerotica (multiple people have read electronica as erotica and i think it’d be funny to see if it goes the other way. also it’s not false advertising i do write a lot of horny vampire shit. also i can’t BELIEVE nobody’s taken this one. on this website???) edit: they wouldn’t let me have this one either ;~; i think these belong to pornbanned blogs

9. and as a wildcard: werewoofisms (i know i JUST said i wanted to get away from werewolves so that i wouldn’t be misleading the public but this came to me while i was writing this and it would be HILARIOUS. if i don’t use this one somebody has to swear to me they’ll use it)

edit: since i had to take two out

10. butchdilfdracula (self explanatory)

11. fangsgender (i’m just sitting here thinking up vampire names and so far i like this one, vampireelectronica and werewoofisms)

12.fangs-for-the-gender (this isn’t as good as fangsgender but it is funny)

13. came-out-of-the-coffin (or without dashes! i just thought cameoutofthecoffin was hard to read.)

ok that’s a full 13 so i’m gonna stop there! place your votes in the notes

[ttngummyshark]

Welcome! This is my horror blog. Some things you should know:

I will try not to reblog many outside posts here.

I am sex-averse and as such do not typically use sexual themes in my writing.

Most of my horror stories do not feature death- I derive the horror from other sources. In the same vein, I tend not to like blood and gore- But I make some exceptions for blood, as it can be an impactful symbol in a story. There will be warnings on stories and art that contain it.

I do mostly positive endings, and more rarely, ambiguous ones. I try not to write definitively bad or hopeless endings, but I may on very rare occasion.

I write slowly and sporadically. I would like to write more! I'll be as active as I can. My brain is broken, however, so don't hold your breath waiting for anything new.

My calendar of the year is weird in terms of what I want to see and what I want to write- My year is broken up into different "moods". Many of these moods overlap. I'll explain in detail later.

I will block people who I feel are being rude or disrespectful towards me or other visitors to my page.

This blog is an unambiguously queer-friendly space!

No TERFs, no bigots, no LGBT-phobes of any kind welcome here.

Common tags and their meanings:

Werewoof what's a werewoof: This tag is for stories and art of werewolves. It's a reference to a line from one of the rugrats Halloween specials, if you were wondering.

Ocean yearning: This is my season of the year where I begin to wish I was in the sea or at the beach constantly. It tends to start in early winter and last through summer until autumn finally comes. Pieces about the sea and its creatures will use this tag.

Warm season horrors: This tag will be used on pieces that have a specific vibe/season I'm in the process of constructing for myself. Spring and summer (the warm season) have their own unique horrors that are separate from the horrors of autumn and winter. I have a good guide post about it on my main that I'll reblog here.

Spooky season: My favorite time of year! This tag will obviously be for spooky, Halloweeny pieces and used during that time of year.

Winter horrors: After Halloween is over, I'm a fiend for the winter holidays. Pieces under this tag may or may not be related to them. Any holiday-related post will be properly tagged as such.

Non-seasonal horrors: A tag for horror that doesn't really correspond to a specific season.

Body horror: Straightforward, this tag will feature body horror. The body horror I write may be different, and much less gory, than that of other writers. Read with caution.

Creature horror: Horror that has to do with creatures and beasts.

Creepypasta-esque: I was right in the middle of the creepypasta trend when it was big. I was a young teen and still learning how to write proper scares. I've been very mean to my younger self for many years, and I want to make it up to her by writing new stories that she would love.

When I tag for triggering content, I will use both a CW tag and a TW tag (ex: bugs cw, bugs tw). Let me know if I miss any.

That does it for now! This pinned post will be updated periodically as needed. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions, and let me know if I need to add more tags.

Midnight Sun, Chapter 6 - Blood Type

Did you guess that this chapter opened up with Weirdo stalking Bella? Because you guessed totally right.

Our ‘hero’ is going on about how he spends the entire day of school watching Bella through the surface thoughts of other people. See, it’s totally okay for Eddie to use people as his own personal Bella CCTV, because they are paltry and insiginificant hoomans. Who cares that it’s extremely creepy and invasive not just to Bella, but to the people who’s heads Eddie has decided to hijack. It’s not as if they matter anyway, right? 

He shits on both Mike and Jessica again and I’ve already ranted at length about why neither of them deserve it, so I’m not gonna do it again. But I am gonna talk about Angela. I don’t like Angela. It’s not really her fault that I don’t like her. She’s soft spoken and sweet and kind, but the problem that I have with Angela is the same problem that I have with Esme. She exists to be a soft, fragile woman, hand-wringing and the only ‘good’ friend that Bella has. She doesn’t actually have a personality to speak of. 

And now at lunch, Eddie is TRYING SO HARD to set up a red herring about why Bella is Looking Sad after glancing at the table he’s usually sat at. He goes on for like a whole ass paragraph wondering if she’s sad because she’s gonna miss the stupid dance that she’s made perfectly clear she doesn’t want to go to. He’s supposed to be an uber smart Pire with a brain so much bigger than mine, but the thing is? I can use fucking context clues to understand that Bella looked at the Cullen table, noticed that Eddie wasn’t there, and then looked sad because he wasn’t there.

See, Eddie. I don’t need your stupid mind-reading powers to figure shit out.

I'd never paid much attention to a human's diet before.

Edward Anthony Masen Cullen. YOU WERE A FUCKING HUMAN BEING LIKE A CENTURY AGO. Yes, I give you that diets and shit have changed since you needed to eat food, but the fact still stands that you absolutely had to eat food yourself at one time. AND YOU HAVE TWO MEDICAL DEGREES ON TOP OF THAT. If you were, like, in your fucking 500s or something, I might buy this bullshit (excluding the fact that you have two medical degrees). But you aren’t. You died in, like, 1901. 

I motioned with my finger for her to join me.

Small point for SM and Midnight Sun here. In Twilight, when this scene happened, Bella said that he lifted his hand and twisted his wrist and like, crooked his finger in a gesturing motion and it was way too many words just to say ‘he motioned me over with his finger’ or ‘he beckoned me over’. At least this book didn’t pull that shit just to pad out the word count. This time.

"Why don't you sit with me today?"

A nitpick, if you will. The way that Eddie boy phrases this question makes it feel a lot more like a command. He isn’t asking if Bella wants to sit with him. He’s not really leaving that clear No option open for her with this phrasing. It feels extremely controlling and based on what we know about Eddie and his controlling tendencies as a boyfriend, I don’t like it.

Eddie and Bella are talking, all the while Eddie is going on about how he’s SO DANGEROUS and shouldn’t be friends with Bella and how part of him wishes she would just get up and leave because that would be safer for her. 

Hey, Eddie. Why don’t you get up and leave, you pissant? Sure, he’s going on and on about how it’s hard to stay away from her and how he’s so IN LUV with her, but dude? If you genuinely think you’re dangerous and shouldn’t be around her DON’T BE AROUND HER. You can’t pull this stupid shit where you go on and on about how she shouldn’t wanna be your friend or be around you while also asking her to eat lunch with you and hanging around her and STALKING HER AND SNEAKING INTO HER BEDROOM AT NIGHT. You don’t get to have it both ways.

"What are you thinking?"

NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS DUDE! IF SHE WANTED TO FUCKING TELL YOU WHATS ON HER MIND, SHE WOULD! GOD FUCK OFF.

Right. Okay. I’m good. Caplocks off.

Ugh.

^^^ That is actually written in the book. And not as dialogue, either. It’s thought. It’s Edward’s thought and inner monologue. Wanna know why that sucks? There are a lot of reasons but the biggest one is this: SM goes out of her way to make it seem like Eddie is so old-fashioned and fancy. She makes him say some of the most ridiculous things in the interest of making it clear to us, the readers, that he is sophisticated. The Pire that is 109 and talks like a Walmart Brand Mr. Darcy just thought ‘ugh’. 

I chided her

STOP with the creepy fucking paternal imagry. God, I am not a psychologist, and I would never presume to assume anything about anyone, but the way SM writes Edward and Bella’s relationship (and really all of the relationships in this series) reeks of Daddy Issues.

Mr. Banner was blood typing today.

This is absolutely fucking bonkers to me, and in the original Twilight, it was only an excuse for Bella to show of her FEAR of blood. Her ridiculous fear that was off the charts and over the top. They were just doing cell division, like, two days ago? And now they’re blood typing. And instead of theoritically doing so, they’re blood typing the actual students. Without written permission slips or warning anyone who might actually have issues with blood or needles in order to let them opt out. This isn’t how high school curriculam works, and it is absolutely not realistic. Even if it’s just a special one off thing, you can’t just stab kids with needles without parental consent.

but I wasn't hearing Debussy's notes for long

Bitch I fucking CALLED IT that he was listening to that Debussy song that first time he mentioned his favorite CD. Brownie points to me.

I wasn't going to stand around arguing with the wretch.

Leave Mike Newton ALONE, dude. And ‘the wretch’ is real rich coming from the guy who thought ‘Ugh’ a few paragraphs back.

Anyway, Bella got so sick and dizzy from one little drop of blood that she’s about to pass out on the sidewalk. It was stupid in Twilight and it’s stupid here. If Mike had lost an arm and was just pulsating blood? Sure, I’d buy the reaction, but a little tiny prick on the finger? And he sits like a couple of tables away from her? It’s an over the top reaction and if I was anyone in that class, I would think she’s doing it for attention. 

Eddie just eats this shit up, though. Because its an excuse to fawn all over Bella and be a big strong man to rescue her. 

The ‘I usually am’ in response to Bella saying Eddie was right about something made me see red for a minute. I fucking HATE this pompous, stuck up, douche canoe. 

"People can't smell blood."

Good news, guys. I’m a vampire. I know this because I, too, can smell blood. I am now sparkley and Better Than You. So it is written.

But in all seriousness? Ed? You’re a fucking moron. 

Anyway, Bella gets out of going to gym by ‘looking pale’ and Eddie comes to the conclusion that we have all figured out long before this that Bella thinks Eddie is attractive. Bella goes against Mike’s clear wishes not to invite Eddie to the beach with them, and invites him anyway, but because it’s La Push and, ya know, Werewoofs, Eddie can’t go to there. But instead of just saying he has plans or doesn’t like the beach or something, he just shits all over Mike some more and it makes me angry. 

I was almost angry that she was leaving me.

Okay, I’m gonna level with you guys and share something personal. I had a really possessive boyfriend in college. Like, had to check in, let him know where I was and who I was with and all of that shit. He got mad at me if he didn’t hear from me for a while and was constantly accusing me of cheating on him and shit. That line right there? That like really freaks me out and gives me flashbacks to that terrible relationship. This is a red flag if I’ve ever seen one. Things like this are why people say that Edward Cullen is an abusive boyfriend.

And right after this line, he’s fucking dragging her to his car and insisting that he drive her home. It’s just creepy, guys. It’s all the warning signs that someone could ever need about someone, but it’s being treated as this loving relationship and it just makes me so uncomfortable. 

There is something I wanna say in regards to Eddie. As a character, it’s okay for him to be kind of an asshole. There’s room for growth in that, there’s something for the character to strive to change. But his behavior is painted in this light that makes it seem like he’s wonderful and amazing, all rose colored love fantasy, and so he never changes and never learned to be a better person. And the shades of abuse are there, not even hidden in subtext but overt, and that is why I hate Edward so much. Not because he’s an asshole, but because I’m supposed to like him just the way he is, and not hope that he changes for the better.

The way that Bella talks about her mom makes me mad. That’s more of a rant for Twilight, but even just the things she says out loud are annoying. She talks about the woman like she’s incapable of taking care of herself, despite the fact that the woman raised her for 16 years. In Twilight it’s worse, because when she even bothers to think about Renee at all, she’s talking down about her.

They’re in front of Bella’s house having a dumb conversation about Eddie being DaNgErOuS again, and I want to puke with how heavy handed the ‘romance’ is supposed to be. Bella is like ‘i don’t care if you want to murder me and leave my corpse out in the woods’ and Ed is like ‘well... actually...’ and I hate that I’m supposed to think that they’re in love.

They’re having some more inane small talk. Literally this entire relationship is just small talk until they get to the sparkley meadow and make out a little, and then it’s ‘i would die for you and love you so much and you’re my everything’ like zero to sixty. I will admit that I fell for my partner really quickly, but we also talked about more than the fucking weather and our families. We had actual meaningful conversations and got to know one another.

This chapter ends with Eddie telling Bella to be careful at the beach (like any good father would) and laughing at her when she gets annoyed about it. The fact that he laughs at her expressing annoyance pisses me off. And he calls her an angry kitten again. 

God, but I hate this asshole. 

That’s chapter six, guys. Feel free to reach out in messages and DMs if you wanna chat, or if you have any recommendations for what my next book recap should be. Feel free to buy me a snack, my CashApp cash tag is in my bio. Until next time!

Strange-ectady an outline for a story about my home town

The setting - So I'm gonna work a story or series of stories set in Schenectady with a twist, that Schenectady is an inter-dimensional weak spot and all sorts of paranormal weirdness happens. #Schenectady #StayweirdSchenectady I’m calling this story Strangectady  It features: Witches who ARE DONE, Fuckboi sorcerer, conjuring the spirit of the Mohawk, an angel, a demon, vampires, werewoofs, mad scientists, secret cults, and a guy who seems schizophrenic off his meds, but HAS SEEN The inter-dimensional shadow being who suck out people's life force and IS TRYING TO WARN EVERYONE! Also, could you give him a cig? It’s also kinda lovecraftian. I’m also gonna roll my AL-verse (an earlier urban fantasy universe  set in the 518) urban fantasy universe) into this.

Character profiles:

~~~~~ the humans?~~~~~

Fawn Davies - 28, chubby, brown curly hair, freckles. She’s one of two official licensed paranormal investigators in Schenectady. Winchell Vega is her boss and the other licensed paranormal investigator.   She is mediocre at magic, but is a good medium and most important  has a cool head,  has good deductive and investigating skills. Her mother was murdered by  serial killer Sebastian Cunningham when Fawn was about six and her father was long gone. Her mother was involved a sex worker and involved with drugs at the time of her death, but nonetheless loved her daughter and tried to be a good mom. She was raised by her grandparents in Niskayuna.    Cunningham never revealed what he did with her mother’s body, he was executed in 2000. Fawn wants to find his body and contact his spirit to get answers. But right now is working on other people’s paranormal problems.

Winchell Vega - Half Puerto Rican, (dad’s side) English- German descent (Mom’s side).  Winchell is in his late 30s with wild grey streaked black hair,  tall and reedy, He’d be handsome if he didn’t look on the verge of a mental collapse, brushed his hair and shaved. He has a wild look in his eyes, and he wears a rumpled trench coat and slightly stained sweater vests over button up shirts also rumpled and usually a pair of khakis and scuffed dress shoes. Winchell is highly talent at magic, also very sensitive to the paranormal he can see what others can’t. He’s good at his trade, but the years and things he’s seen have taken its toll.  He smokes like a chimney and is cheap, will shake someone down for a loosey. There are rumors that he was diagnosed as schizophrenia as a young man and has been medicated ever since. That is partly true, being able to see things and perceive things normal people can’t made him look schizophrenic. He took Fawn under his wing when she was in her early 20s and helped her get the training and license for this. He’s an asexual permenant bachelor, even though when he was seventeen he had a brief intimate relationship with a extra-dimenisonal being who was in the form of a girl about his age. He’s closer to his Dad’s side of the family then his Mom’s, he has an older sister and some nieces and nephews. 

Dustin Destry-  Thin with short black hair, goatee, sleeve tattoos earlobe plugs and wears a fedora. He’s  in his late thirties, was friends and partners with Winchell but burned that bridge a while ago. Borderline alcoholic, womanizer faux woke, pretentious, he’s the worst kind of douche and hipster. He’s a middling talented sorcerer who fancies himself some kind go misunderstood anti-hero.  He claims to be woke but will crack a racist joke and finds it uncomfortable to be around  trans*, people, also kinda scared of muslims but is not overt about these things.He’s fair weather friend, he’s a boyfriend with a roving eye, and mostly he’s a coward, if his magic can’t do the trick. The only redeeming quality he has  two unfortunately named children: Trazor and Zelda. They have two different mothers, he loves his kids with the fire of a thousand suns in his own ham-fisted way, he does pay his child support. And although NOT officially licensed he does take paranormal cases, and attempts to undercut everyone.

Maura Leeman - Witch of Schenectady 40 something, haggard face, fat, long stringy gray hair, mostly wears sweatpants and sweatshirts. VERY talented comes from a. Long line of soothsayers and witches.  Despite hey cynical, world weary facade, she has a good heart and wants to use her magic to help everyone. People take advantage of this and dictate their own price or trade for magical services. Also since she works from home, her younger sister Samatha, doesn’t consider it a real job and uses her as free daycare for her young nephew and niece.  Maura smokes cigarettes as well, she is 90% done.

Mercy  L. Knight - the other witch in  Schenectady. 100% done, just burnt out. She is probably one of the two most powerful magic workers in the 518, however as I said BURNT OUT. She charges fair prices for her services and no won’t take your half an ounce of dried, brown ditch weed for it. Rumored to be in her mid 40s, but looks ageless, short, with fine delicate features, like bone china. She dresses well and uniquely. Because of magical ability, assholes and life, she is a bit wary and far more messed up than most people know. She has one solace, her pets, she has a  few cats, the white one is her familiar and has brought down pixies, and she helps the angel Adrielle at the animal sanctuary. (Knows just about everyone in the supernatural community in Schenectady).

Damien Leeman- Maura’s younger brother, an unhappy man has issues with anger and depression. Short blond hair, wiry build, sleeve tattoos and goatee. Used to be friends with Dustin, but that’s another bridge Dustin  burned. Mostly is not happy because he is a soothsayer, and has visions of the future, that to outsiders look like grand mal seizures. Also he knows that the human brain is NOT meant to handle such things and no person with his gift, has lived to 40, mostly dying of MASSIVE brain aneurysm.  He’s trying to keep it together, has a job in construction, and has a fiancee who loves and understands him.

Monsieur Duval aka Kevin Johnson- Medium and Necromancer of very little power.. Black, chin strap beard goatee, dreadlocks, mostly seen wearing a frock coat black suit with a purple satin dress shirt underneath, and a top hat and using a cane with carved skull. Claims to be from Hati and to know real voodoo. But that’s a lie, he’s from New Jersey and the accent is fake. Does a very good cold reading, however is shit when communicating with the actual dead and very bad at necromancy. Usually causes more problems than he solves. Which people like Mercy, Maura and Leanna have to deal with.

Leanna Yardley - Bi-racal, tall, slender, with dark hair and a kind smile. Beautiful, serene, soft-spoken. She is a sorceress of light her magical abilities are about 10 out of 20  and skilled, eager to learn more. She is trans, but that’s beside the point. She knows her shit and is not someone anyone would mess with. However  her  calm and shyness, lead people to think she’s weak. This not the case. She helps out when she can, and is working on her paranormal investigator license. 

The Warlock aka Melvin Leeman - Old, Old man mostly bald with thin white hair on the side of head small and frail seeming, note I said seeming. lives in a house that also seem dark and cold even on the brightest warmest, day...
