Welcome and Masterlist
A Little About Me
Welcome to my tiny corner of the Internet! I'm Rune, and I have an unhealthy obsession with fandoms lol.
This blog may be centered around fandoms, but I have no doubt that I'll end up posting spiritual or occult related topics at some point. If you don't like it, please move along and don't interact.
I am an avid believer in Michael Jackson’s innocence. Don’t like it, get off my blog. There’s no evidence he did anything, so quit believing those liars and the media. He wouldn’t even harm a bug on stage let alone a child or any other living thing.
This blog is 18+ due to the fact that some heavier topics and imagery is sometimes used on my blog. It’s the Internet and we all like to over share here 🤣
Fandoms: Star Wars, Ghost (the band), Dead By Daylight, slashers, Doctor Who, Guardians of Ga’Hoole (book series), and others I can't remember right this moment lol
Star Wars will always have a very special place in my heart as it was the first fandom I ever got involved in, all the way back in 2008. I was writing SW fanfiction when I was in third grade, so there's that lol. That was also when I learned I loved writing. My magnum opus as a writer is very much Call of the Stars (a Star Wars fanfiction), and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Favorite Star Wars characters: Obi-Wan, my dual-wielding kings Rex and Tech, Mitth’raw’nuruodo (Thrawn), Qui-Gon, Cutup, Fives, and Jar Jar.
Fandoms I know the most about: Star Wars. I know an unhealthy amount of lore, history, ships, and other random galactic facts. I am a NERD for SW. I can read and write Aurebesh (Basic) and tried to learn Huttese, Mando'a, and Cheunh. I have a problem. I mean, I'm completely normal about it, I swear.

Oral exam
Headcanons (hahaha get it??) on how good the btd/tpof characters are with their 👅 Tentatively ranked from best to worst.
No pronouns used, but fem body parts/functions mentioned in most sections. 🔞
Tumblr media
The Queen
Knows exactly what she's doing. Will rock your socks right off
She is a bit of a bully though 🙃
Overstimulates you if you've been good, edges you within an inch of your life if you've been bad. Either way, you will end up in tears.
She also just really enjoys it and sometimes gets carried away.
Likes to use her fingers at the same time, so she can feel your reactions.
Tumblr media
Canonically good at it, so I don't have grounds to argue otherwise 😅
Very eager to please. Personalizes his technique for you and gets it down to a method.
Measured and precise, like a dancer moving through choreography. Takes it pretty seriously....
... but sometimes he gets really into it and his brain shuts off. Gets sloppy and makes a huge mess (which isn't necessarily bad).
Often absent-mindedly touches himself while he's at it. He'll stop if you tell him to though.
Really likes it when you rock your hips against his face.
Tumblr media
Why play piano when he can just play you? ;)
He's merciless. If you're still able to move when he's done, he failed.
Mostly does it when he feels like spoiling you, sometimes does it to knock the brat out of you.
(And sometimes, he just looks at you and gets in his feelings over how happy he is to have you, and can't help himself. He will deny this when confronted.)
Those invisible bonus hands of his are great for keeping you spread wide open for him 👀
Please be loud for him. He loves to hear how good he's making you feel.
Tumblr media
He has honed his skill in the same way a swordsmith sharpens a blade.
Which is to say: to lethal effect
It's having you completely at his mercy (and holding you down while you squirm) that does it for him.
More prone to overstimulate than edge, but ultimately he'll do whatever gets the best reaction.
Doesn't usually want to stay down there too long though - he gets impatient for his turn.
Pro tip: pull on his hair. He'll groan nice and deep for you.
Tumblr media
Even if he's not super experienced, he's a quick learner and he's devoted to making you feel good.
Tries a lot of things in bed and analyzes your reactions to find out what you like the most, and that experimental nature carries over into this as well.
Likes to give you a challenge (no noise, no squirming, etc) and see how well you do. You'll be rewarded accordingly.
Will edge you until you're begging, but like... lovingly.
Long naga tongue? 👀 He's careful with his teeth though, don't worry 💕
Honestly he finds it kind of relaxing. Get ready to become his go-to method of decompressing after a long day.
Tumblr media
He can think of things he'd rather do, but he's still plenty proficient when he deigns to kneel between your legs
"bear in mind, you asked for this," he'll say, and then proceed to overstimulate you into next week.
Likes to make a mess out of you. Between his saliva and your slick, you're going to need a towel for sure.
Related: he will make you squirt or you'll die trying.
Sit on his face, he loves the view. Your expressions, the way you move, the tentacles sliding and coiling around your form.... 😏
Kisses you afterward so you can taste yourself. Might even want you to clean off his face with your tongue.
Tumblr media
Anxiety™
Desperately wants to do a good job. Needs to make you feel so good that you fall apart on his tongue.
Requires instruction (gentle instruction, or you'll stress him out more), but makes up for it with diligence.
Somno is your friend here. He feels much more comfortable starting while you're asleep (and by the time you wake up, he'll be too into it to be self-conscious... mostly).
Run your fingers through his hair, pull him closer, tell him how good he is for you. A little positive reinforcement goes a long way with him.
Once his hands start wandering over every inch of you he can reach, you'll know he's finally unwinding.
Tumblr media
Messy messy messy. Enthusiastically messy, because he's not doing it for you, he's doing it for him.
Sure, he still wants you to get off (mostly for his own gratification? Probably), but that's not at the forefront of his mind.
You just smell so good and taste so good and he loves getting drunk on you.
Not as careful with his teeth as he probably should be 😬 yank on his hair to remind him to rein them in.
Leaves fingerprint-shaped bruises all over your hips and thighs while he's at it. (He doesn't notice he's squeezing you so hard.)
Vocal. Groans and growls and mutters. Can't seem to stop talking dirty even with his mouth full; sometimes he pulls away just long enough to make sure you hear anything particularly filthy he has to say.
Tumblr media
Oh god 😨 you poor thing
Not gentle. He's all teeth and overexcitement. Your pained yelps just add fuel to the fire.
Eventually, your thighs will be covered in bloody/bruising bite marks - and everything in between them will be sore af.
Like Vincent, he does it because he wants to; unlike Vincent, he doesn't give a shit if you come or not.
Luckily, he usually has other things he'd rather do to with you, so you'll probably only be subjected to this treatment in the first place if he's feeling curious, and he may not ever feel the need for a repeat performance.
... unless he discovers that using his mouth on you while you're on your period happens to strongly appeal to him 😱
Tumblr media
I'm sorry but.... not only is he not very inclined to service you this way, he's also not very good at it when he does.
You're pretty sure he knows what to do, but he half-asses it because he'd rather switch places with you 🙄
(Don't let him tell you he'll return the favor if you go down on him. He's a liar. Make him reciprocate up front or you'll get nothing.)
Does slightly better in a 69 situation, but only if you pace yourself so that he has incentive to do a good job. If he climaxes before you, it's all over.
Also a bully, but meaner about it than Celia. Likes the whiny, reluctant noises you make. Maybe you don't want him down there after all 😑
Silver lining: he's actually pretty good with his fingers. Ask him to do that instead.
Bonus: Damien
Aims to please, like a gentleman 😌
Prefers to take his time, really slow and sensual, wants you relaxed and blissful.
Squeeze his head with your thighs, he loves it
Bonus: Jack
Another one who's not super into it. Doesn't do much for him.
He's pretty good at it, though, if you can find a way to make it worth his while.
On the uncommon occasion that he does get down to business, he takes pride in how fast he can make you come.
Edit: Newly-made btd/tpof blog is @the-diabolist! Will be opening requests as soon as I finish what I already have.

━"Upping The Anti"
━Tw: Smut, sadism, knives, major talk of murder, ect. Its Anti and he's horny watch out /hj Also, reader is AFAB. It's simpler and more easy for me to write, although I don't explicitly describe them as such 24/7 through the smut part. Unprotected sex but dw it's demon dick so you ain't even gotta worry about being pregnant.
Summary:
The supernatural wasnt real. Magic was a cheep party trick; all smoke and mirrors to con people out of their money. Demons were a myth created by parents to scare little kids into eating their vegetables.
That's what (Y/n) thought. Untill they were caught up with a demon of their own, who dead set on getting his way.
━Notes: The long awaited ending of the series. Aka just smut
━Song: "Mind Brand" Kuraiinu, dj-Jo
Part One Part Two Part Three Part Four
Tumblr media
It was all his fault. Goddamn Sean McLoughlin.
(Y/n) had realized where they recognized Anti from minutes after he left then frozen on the bed. The Irish accent, green hair, even the fucking ear piercings-
It was Jacksepticeye. Jack fucking Septiceye. The same person that sold coffee grounds and got scared shitless at video games that ran at two frames a second.
But it made no sense.
The more they thought about it the more it baffled them. How could a youtuber, especially one as popular as that, be a demon? Was Anti possessing his body? Had Jack created a demon? What kind of voodoo shit was going on here.
After finally gathering the courage to leave the protective ring of salt surrounding their mattress, they had made a bee-line for YouTube, frantically typing into the search bar to do some investigating.
But after an hour or two of watching this brown haired man yell at a camera for no reason, (Y/n) had no doubt in their body that this was not the evil being that had showed up in their room. Jack (Sean, Jack, whatever. They had heard Alex refer to him as both before. To them he was just the loud coffee man) was way too energetic and kind to be a murderous glitch.
He did have the same shade of blue eyes that Antis right one did though. Just looking at them made (Y/n) clench their jaw with a tight lipped frown, skin being pulled taunt.
They weren't scared, per say, of this bastard. But there's something about meeting an inhumane glitch that claims to be a god that puts one on edge.
Leaving their room was a tough process. They had opened the white door cracked and flaking with cheap paint just to stare out at the hallways beyond it. Bare feet tentivley touched the carpet outside only after (Y/n) had grabbed a handful of salt to keep in their shirts pocket.
The adult could practically hear Alex screaming at them to get spices and crystals. Holy water, crosses- anything and everything that has ever been known to ward demons off. But if those runes didn't work who knew what would. As Anti had said, as the internet progressed so did he. So who knew what would stop this.
Tumblr media
(Y/n) was starting to understand people in horror movies. Especially the dumb ones that got killed off first.
Morbid curiosity is what this was. Morbid fucking curiosity; the feeling they got when they even got so much of a glance at a computer screen. Dread, but anticipation. Waiting for something horrible to lunge out of a screen. Expecting it. Wanting it
Probably the same feeling that a lot of those side characters in slashers experienced as they walked lazily to their death.
Yeah no more late night horror movies for them they had decided.
But it was this, along with the uncanny resemblance to Jacksepticeye, that led (Y/n) to this exact situation. Sitting on the ground in a criss cross position throwing artifical colored peices of candy from a box nerds they were munching on. More specifically aimed at their monitor.
Summoning Anti had been fairly easy the first time, if not unwanted and unexpected. This time they had the intention of doing it purposely. The only question was how.
Well judging based on the way a lanky form slid out of their computers binary code they were doing something right.
Antis (sadly familiar face) was twisted in an expression of annoyance as a nerd bounced off his nose and landed on the floor. He showed his greatfulness for that by lifting a combat boot clad foot and crushing it violently.
"Miss meh?" Was all he said, smiling at the reminants of what was once a mouthwatering nerd on the floor. (Y/n) swallowed thickly, hoping that Anti assumed it was from a mouthful of candy and not nerves.
"Sure. I totally missed the guy that broke into my house and threatened me." They mumbled with a squint of their eyes. This only made him smile larger, eye brows practically dissapearing gleefully into his hairline as he raised them.
"Yer a lot more talkativ' tan last tihme." He said with pleasure, thoroughly enjoying this. Leaning back on the balls of his feet Anti rested two fidgety hands on the inside of his jean pockets. Multicolored eyes bounced every which way observing every inch of the room; and (Y/n). They almost got caught up watching them move around.
"I have some questions." They said popping another handful of tart candy into their mouth. The sound of the individual peices bouncing off their teeth made Antis elvish ears perk up. He turned to face them fully this time, a smug smile settling comfortably onto his lips.
His eyes challenged them to go on without even saying anything, sending jolts of stubborn intentions and defiance down their spine.
(Y/n) stood up slowly, setting down everything so they were eye to eye with him. Chewing on the inside of their cheek nervously, they looked at the latest cause of all their problems and opened their mouth to speak.
"Jack." Was all they had gotten out before the atmosphere changed significantly. A loud static sound penitrated their eardrums, Antis one blue eye flashing what almost looked like green before it withered away with the noise. His hair was spiked up, teeth bared and hands curled into fists.
Since when did he have claws?
"Mention tha fooker again an I'll tear ye spleen out of ye throa' and make ye lihmp body jum' rope with it." He said in a wisper. But it might as well have been a screech for (Y/n) with the way they barely winced.
Working around a throat full of cotten, they wetted their lips shakily before speaking.
"Oh yeah?"
God fucking damn it.
They couldn't just keep their mouth shut couldn't they
But could you blame them? This green tinted bastard had been terrorizing them for weeks, making them feel insane and like they were loosing their mind.
They felt they deserved a little bit of payback. Or whatever you called this.
"Ye think yer smart? That yer the powerful ohne in this situatiohn?" Anti snickered, eyes open and boring straight into (Y/n)s. It was a dangerous stare off between two people who weren't planning on backing down.
"Oh doll, yer anythin buht powerful right now." He continued as they watched him step closer.
"I cahn smell yer fear."
Another step.
"It's even mhore delicious than last tihme."
Another step.
"Buht I can smell somethin else too."
He was almost touching them now, nose mere centimeters away from their own. (Y/n) breathing stood to a still when they realized what he was talking about.
Through a hazy mind and fast paced heartbeat they remembered what that artical they had read forever ago said.
"-ese demons in particular feed off fear and lust, as those two are the most prominent actions that pop up online. Do not show any signs of them if and when the demon appears-"
Anti looked downright gleeful as he witnessed it dawn on (Y/n). Observing with malicious joy as their eyes got wide and hands flew to clutch the fabric of their pants.
How they realized he could feel the lust radiating off of them.
"I told ye that I knehw ye wahnt me (Y/n). I've seen ye fooked up search history. Been watchin ye ever since ye called for me weeks ago."
He taunted them. Spilling all of the things he had seen them do. How often he had watched them stroll around the house barely in any clothes, unaware of the lustful eyes watching them.
Some of the things Anti said made (Y/n)s face flush with anger and embarrassment. Even I can't repeat them.
"Ye still think yer powerful?" He purred next to their ear. He was daring them; practically begging them to take the next step. To walk right into his arms. Like a fish swimming circles around a shark.
And so they did.
They took that dare and leaned forward slightly.
Right outside the ring of salt.
In a flash of green and black, they were thrown against a wall, hands held behind their back as if they were being arrested for a fictional crime. It was too fast for them to even realize what had happened. All they knew was that one second they had been looking into one green and one blue eye, and the next their cheek was pressed flush against the wall as someone pressed up against them from behind.
(Y/n) felt the color drain from their face as a knife came into view right next to their head. It acted as a sick rearveiw mirror, showing a grinning Anti from behind.
"Ohhh ye 'ave no ideah how long I've been waitin for ye to do that." He cooed, tracing the knife down the side of the wall, leaving a path of cut and peeling wallpaper behind.
A small voice in the back of (Y/n)s head made a comment about how they never liked that color wallpaper anyway.
They told it to shut up.
Cool metal from the flat of the knife pressed against their throat. They had to resist the urge to swallow, fearing that a slice rivaling Antis would appear on their neck to spill blood.
(Y/n) listened through the blood pounding in their head as Anti slowly debated if they should kill them right here. Oh how would he do it, the ways he could watch the life drain from their eyes while licking their blood off his precious knife.
At a particularly suggestion he muttered to himself, they had let out the quietest of noises. But Antis sharp ears still picked it up, neck looking like it would break as be turned it quickly to look at them.
"Ahre ye-" He paused to smile largely, canines glinting in the reflection of the knife. "-enjoyhing this?"
The lack of response said it all.
"Oh my ghod ye arhe!!" Giggles spilled from him mouth as five calloused fingers gripped a knifes hilt tighter.
"I knew ye were fooked up, but this? This takes ta cake!"
With every word that came out of his mouth a wave of rolling shame washed over them. Along with the urge to rear back their leg and knee him in the dick.
The knife left (Y/n)s vision slowly, only for the sharp pressure to reappear right where there the tip of their waistband was.
Air burned the inside of their nose as they inhaled sharply. The pressure only increased, the tiniest sounds of fabric ripping eliciting a laugh from Anti.
"Ya smell positively delectable righ' now pet." The crook of his nose had pressed itself again an exposed part of their neck. Along with that came the feeling of a tounge kicking a slow strip all the way up to the shell of their ear.
(Y/n) bit their own tounge, holding back a shudder that for sure would have gotten them nicked by the object currently being used to slowly tear away at their waistband.
The thing was, they didn't feel conflicted about this at all. Carnal urges pumped throughout their body. They wanted to say it was some sort of demon charm lulling them into these sinful feelings, but they knew that wasn't true.
Finally the stretch of elastic wrapped snugly around their waistline was split in two with the slight effort of Anti flicking his knife upwards.
This time (Y/n) couldn't stop a sigh of pleasure from slipping out as cool air from nearby fans blowing hit the wet spot on their underwear.
A slender finger danced across the curve of their ass, dragging along a thin layer of cloth sensually. Their arms were no long pinned behind their back now. They were free to leap for the circle of salt again and into safety.
But instead they leaned back into Antis teasing touch more.
Wispers of whore and slut left his lips condescendingly. (Y/n) couldn't bring themself to feel the anger they normally would have at these degrading titles being tossed their way. If anything it made them wetter knowing how unbelievably lewd they were acting for someone so evil.
More air was inhaled as they gasped suddenly. A finger was plunged into their hole without warning, reaching into those deep parts of them that would reduce them to a babbling mess.
"Fuck fuck fuck." Sweaty palms pressed themselves flat against the wall in an effort to have some means of support. Antis knife made a cold trail down the back of their cotton shirt, shredded fabric and a pink line across their skin left in its wake.
(Y/n) was now leaning against the wall with their hands and head pressed against the wall, small moans and pants coming out of their mouth as ruined clothes formed a crumpled pile where the floor ended and wall began.
Anti let out a groan of his own as they accidently brushed their ass against his clothed crotch. They felt his growing arousal again their skin, lips managing to turn up into a mischief smile even in the midst of all this.
Pressing back against him even more, a swift hand was quick to stop that. Flipping (Y/n) over and enclosing a strong grip around their throat Anti growled at them darkly, eyes flashing dangerously. Not like they could tell with how their vision was clouding up.
"Do tha again-" He leaned down to nip right at their collar bone, finger still deep inside their hole tantalizingly "-an I'll leave ye high n dry untill next tihme."
At the promise of a next time they wiggled slightly in an effort to get his finger to hit that one spot. But he just squeezed tighter, making them moan.
"Fooking learhn some goddamn maners." He snarled with blown pupils.
Thank god that (Y/n) had taken their time searching for a soft bed when looking for a new mattress all those years ago. Otherwise the way that Anti threw them onto it might very hurt.
Sheets bunched up around their body that was radiating heat. Anti climbed over them, trailing fingers wet with their own slick up their chest.
"Lhook at meh." He barked. (Y/n)s eyes snapped to him immediately, finally getting a good look at him for the first time since this visit.
He had shed his clothes, the only scrap of clothing left on him a pair of plain black boxers streched around his straining cock. Although they doubted those would stay on for much longer.
Vibrant green hair stuck his forhead in a way that couldn't be described in any other way than attractive. It was tangled and wet with sweat, perhaps a little blood if you squinted close enough. They didnt remember bleeding-
Tattoos trailed over his lean arms craftily. They told stories of death and fear. Faces of pleasure and despare, sometimes even both, were permanently engraved into his flesh. Appropriate considering who was hovering over them. It made (Y/n) wonder if they even had tattoos in the demon realm, or wherever the fuck he was from.
"I own you." Anti hisses, lowering himself down slightly to leave hot, opened mouth kisses on their skin. With the way he was nipping and sucking at them, there were sure to be marks in the morning. It was for that fact that (Y/n) dutifully tilted their head back to expose more of their neck.
"After this-" More possessive kisses were placed harshly onto skin. "-all ye are gonnah be able te think of is meh."
A jolt went through their whole body as Antis hand dropped down to their sex, cupping it lightly and teasing the sensitive flesh there.
(Y/n) let out moans that were far more loud than the ones before. A brief worry about the neighbors hearing flashed in their mind before it was quickly tossed out as Anti swiped the rough pad of his thumb over their sensitive bud.
Trembling hands managed to reach outwards and brush lightly over the bulge in his boxers, making Anti glitch slightly and hiss out a string of curses from inbetween his teeth. (Y/n) took that as a sign to continue, slipping a hand into his pants and wrapping around his throbbing cock.
The angel was a bit awkward, bit neither of them seemed to care. Anti was too busy letting out what sounded like curse words in a language (Y/n) didn't recognize to notice, and the latter was bathing in the feeling of their clit being stroked harshly.
Pulling back for a moment Anti left them on the sheets to quickly slip off his boxers. His cock sprang out from the confines, making the counterpart on the bed hault.
He certainly wasn't longer than some of the other men that had managed to bed them before, but he was thicker. And what seemed to be long veins painted lines up and down his length; except instead of blue they appeared to be tinted black. The same color of pre-cum that was currently leaking from the tip.
He saw them looking and managed to chuckle as he took his position back over them.
"Demon cum, pet." He purred with a grin. "You'll becohme addicted ta it soon enough. Wont be ahble to get enough of myh cock."
(Y/n) felt even more warmth travel down to their stomach, which at this point they would have thought to be impossible.
Anti positioned himself at the entrance of their hole, looking like they were just about ready to devour them.
Before he made another move though, a quiet sentence made its way out of his lips.
"Tahp my thigh three times if s too much."
As soon as you had nodded back at him with wide eyes, he pushed himself in.
Never had (Y/n) had the sensation of being so full.
It was like they had been molded for him. Created so that way he could fill them perfectly, stretching their insides to the point of perfection.
Loud moans that sounded like they had been plucked straight out of a porno escaped from the back of (Y/n)s throat. Anti moaned as well, letting out occasional exclamations in that same strange language as earlier.
"Fuck! Anti, please, please don't stop oh god." They practically yelled at the demon. His erratic thrusts sped up getting sloppier and and sloppier as the both of their pleasure increased.
(Y/n) arched their back with a low groan as the curve of his duck hit that one spongey spot inside of them. Anti himself let his eyes roll back, moaning.
After that discovery it was all over for the both of them. (Y/n) attempted to form a coherent thought through the waterfall of drool that spilled from their lips.
"Anti oh fucking fuck I think I'm gonna cum-!"
With one final snap of his hips, Anti let out the most guttural moan that they had ever heard from him, much less anyone else.
Their release wasn't an explosion or even fireworks. It was a slow spread of buzzing, un measurable pleasure making its way sluggishly throughout their entire body. Like it had the viscosity of honey. It was unlike any orgasm they had ever felt before.
Limbs tangled in each other wildly as the sweaty, yet smirking, demon flopped onto the side of the bed next to (Y/n). He took a clawed finger and placed it under their chin, chest rumbling with a sly purr as he turned their head to look at him.
"I look forwarhd to tha day yhoure beggin me on yhour knees to absolutely wreck you again." He smiled with dark eyes.
The last thing (Y/n) saw before their eyelids fluttered shut was Anti tracing small lines up and down their neck
Tumblr media
That's it. That's the end of Carnal Urges. I hope you enjoyed just as much as I did writing this. The fic started as a good way to get my creativity out but turned into a way for me to smile even in the midst of one of my family members dying.
Thank you all for sticking through this with me. The next chapter will just be answering any questions about this fic and/or AU you have. So send in questions, anon or not, to my inbox and watch them get featured in the final chapter.
Thank you and good day <3
Edit: Excuse any typos. I spent five straight hours writing this non stop and did not feel like editing before I crashed for a nap. Will be fixed later. Thank you for your patience

A Dead By Daylight Novice Reviews All the Killers' Trailers (and makes suggestions for what they'd change)
Reveal trailers are paramount for an audience's first look at new characters. First impressions are everything, so your trailer for your shiny new character needs to be perfect for what's in store for the video game! I started playing DBD a month-ish ago but watched all the trailers for the killers before I started playing, and watching some of them got me to thinking about how I would have changes some of the trailers. Some require no changes, while others I think need an overhaul.
Disclaimer: This is in my personal opinion, is not objective at all, and I'm only doing this because this is something I've been thinking about for a month and need some sort of release or else my brain will implode.
Under a read more bc this gets long.
The Trapper - The first trailer! For a first trailer, I think this one is pretty spot on. It follows a lot of beats of slasher movies, in terms of following a survivor that's gonna be killed, her encountering dead bodies, and the suspense of the killer looking for her. Considering Dead by Daylight is effectively a playable horror movie, I think this is a perfect intro to the game. As for what this means for the Trapper, aka our Jason substitute, I think it showed him off alright! We saw his bear traps and got a good look at him doing this thing. Pretty good, all things considered!
The Wraith - The Wraith, Hillbilly, and Nurse all features gameplay as the means of showing off what the killers can do. The Wraith's isn't too bad, since it does show off his Wailing Bell power enough for people to understand "This is a killer that can turn invisible, and you may not know he's right next to you until it's too late". I wish it has a more cinematic style, but I'll be forgiving here because DBD was still young when this was made. I also thing it showed the new map, Autohaven, pretty well. I'm not too big of a fan of ending the trailer with his mori, but that could be because I don't find his mori exciting.
The Hillbilly - Next is our Leatherface expy! This one feels shorter, still using gameplay to introduce our new killer but at least shows off his chainsaw wielding and hints at the map associated with him. I like the shot of him revving his chainsaw underneath the tree with the animal carcasses! I don't mind the ending with his mori here because even if it's off screen, getting cut with a chainsaw is brutal enough to leave a lasting impression. Again, I wish it had the cinematic style, but it's fine.
The Nurse - I think the Nurse's trailer is the weakest of the three gameplay-focused trailers. The text intro is... fine, but I honestly think it fits the Doctor more. It does an okay job of showing us her Blinking mechanics, but it also doesn't? Like we see her teleporting to Nea, but it feels lackluster. I do like the ending shot of dead Nea as the Nurse just blinks away. I'm not quite sure how to change this trailer to be more effective in my opinion, if I'm being honest.
The Shape/Michael Myers - Our first franchise killer, and a perfect trailer. The first second in, we hear John Carpenter's legendary Halloween score. Even non-horror fans will quickly pick up which killer this is. The suspense of Laurie see Michael, Michael coming up the stairs, and especially the shot of Laurie and Michael being on opposite sides of a door is *chef's kiss*. We see enough of the Shape to be satisfied and eager for his release. It's the perfect trailer for him AND Laurie imo.
The Huntress - Ah, the Huntress. She is my favorite killer to play as, and I probably have the majority of my playtime on her. Unfortunately, I think her trailer leaves a lot to be desired. It's the start of the 'let's look at the killer from different angles, have them turn around to the camera, and then attack the viewer' trend of DBD trailers. I call for a complete rewrite! Here's what I would have done:
The map is Mother's Dwelling. Two survivors (David aaaand idk Dwight?) are running and hides behind some trees. We hear the Huntress's lullaby get louder, and we see the bottom half of her and her axe as she walks past the survivors. The lullaby gets quieter, and the survivors take a sigh of relief. Then, a hatchet is thrown and lodged into Dwight's head! David screams and runs. We then see our full look at the Huntress as she picks up the body. Her signature lullaby continues as the trailer ends.
The Hag - The Hag's trailer also follows a similar formula to the Huntress' trailer. There is an animation bump, so we get to see the Hag's emaciated appearance in full detail. I'm not too mad about that, since the Hag's appearance is unsettling enough to cause viewer distress and curiosity more than the Huntress' would. However, because this is a DBD original killer, we need to see what her deal is with her trailer. Thus, I propose this:
On the swamp, Ace is repairing a generator but hears another survivor (Dwight?) get hooked. Ace goes to rescue him, but we see as he steps on a rune in front of the poor survivor. The illusion of the Hag pops up, jumpscaring poor Ace (and the audience) but disappears. Ace then rescues Dwight for real, but Dwight quickly runs away. Why? Because the real Hag is behind Ace and lunges at him, biting his neck. Trailer ends.
The Doctor - I now realize that my taste in writing DBD trailers is 'have the survivor do a thing, they think the killer is near, they then relax, and only then are they attacked by the killer'. It's a bit stereotypical, but again, we're dealing with a game centered on the horror genre, so that's why I'm okay with it.
I mention this because that's effectively the story beats the the Doctor's trailer follows. Instead of attacking Feng, however, the Doctor just looks at her run and stares menacingly. Even though we don't see the Doctor's shock therapy powers here, I think the long look at the killer is still effective because of his design. A first reaction I (and other reactors) experienced went from the initial "OMG the killer is here, run girl!" to "Why tf are his own eyes and mouth held open like that A Clockwork Orange scene?!". We also don't linger for too long on him either, so I think this trailer works well enough.
The Cannibal/Leatherface - Another franchise killer, this time good ol Leatherface! This trailer is a little different, using text to draw up suspense. I do like the reveal of "What is his mask made of? YOU.", but I would've loved to have seen some actual Cannibal action, or at least his in-game model doing his Texas chainsaw massacring thing.
The Nightmare/Freddy Kruger - Oh, c'mon, we got one of the most well known characters in horror in this little video game, and all we get for his trailer is some scratch marks and a 'killer does nothing but stand there menacingly and attack the camera' trailer?! I do like the detail that when we see him, it's DBD's version of the dream world, but we could've at least featured a survivor falling asleep and then seeing him for themselves.
(Also kinda sad it's the reboot version of Freddy instead of the Wes Craven version and the survivor is Quentin instead of Nancy Freaking Thompson, but I guess we should be happy he's in the game at all)
The Pig - Largely, I think this trailer is pretty good. I'm not too big of a fan of Amanda just standing there menacingly near Dwight, but I do like everything else. I especially love the security camera shot of the famous Saw bathroom and the cutaway when Dwight's reverse bear trap activates (but we still see a good bit of gore!). It feels very Saw-like.
The Clown - This trailer is pretty good! Even though we don't see the Clown in much action, we get a lot of visual storytelling with the bottles, the circus, and the ring of fingers, all leading up to the reveal of his face. The diagetic music from Kate is a nice touch, too.
The Spirit - This one is alright. There is a lot of focus on Adam, but it does build up tension to when the Spirit reveals herself. My biggest problem with it is the ending card that is used for her. Yes, I know that's traditional for the end of these trailers, but her pose and expression is kinda meh after the face she makes when she's about to attack Adam. Seriously, that couple of seconds haunts me (sorry) otherwise.
The Legion - My other favorite killer to play! It's so funny how I didn't like Legion when I first heard of them but now they're my favorites. I love how the trailer emphasizes that the new killer(s) looks similar to survivors and the brutality of when Frank reveals himself and stabs Jeff. However, the trailer does a disservice to the other members of the Legion. C'mon, that's their whole shtick!
My recommendation would be to end with a shot of Julie, Joey, and Suzie joining Frank (and obviously getting a good look at them) and surrounding Jeff right before they all stab him. This is a little disingenuous since you can't play as all four of them at once (unless you count that one Blighted skin...), but you also can't disguise yourself as a survivor, so... Yeah. They are The Legion! They act as one! Treat them as such in their trailer, dammit!
The Plague - The Plague's trailer is interesting. Even though we don't see her in action, I think it's fine because seeing her puke on people during her trailer might be a bit off-putting. Just a bit. We still get some storytelling with her whispered prayers, the candles and incense thingy, and, of course, her face. I think because the Plague's design is inherently unique among all the killers so far, she can get away with the 'let's just tease the audience by looking at the killer and nothing else' trend.
The Ghost Face - Not too much I can complain about with this one. I do like the wtf factor of 'wait, why is a DBD trailer at a modern day warehouse???', especially if you're watching a trailer playlist like I first did. It all makes sense when you learn it's Ghost Face, though! Also, justice for that poor cashier.
The Demogorgon - RIP Stranger Things DLC. I don't watch this series, but I really like the Hawkins Lab map and I'm going to be sad when it's gone. :(
I love this trailer! When I hear the Stranger Things music, it actually gives me chills. I'm legitimately so sad the DLC will be gone from the stores, but I do own them myself. I need to actually sit down and play Demo, Steve, and Nancy one of these days. Why am I crying? No, I'm not kidding, why is this trailer making me cry? Renew the contract, Netflix, please! I don't want this stuff to disappear forever!
(Is it weird that I've been nagged on for years to watch Stranger Things but it's Dead By Daylight that's actually convincing me to watch it?)
The Oni - This is an interesting case. The "main" theme of this trailer is the contrast of modern day Japan's Yui and her motorcycle vs the literal ancient samurai Oni. I think it works out, and again, I think the presentation makes up for us not seeing too much of the new killer.
The Deathslinger - Oh boy, do I love my cowboys! This trailer is nearly perfect. We establish the western setting quickly over the sounds of some poor bastard in pain. The reeling in of the chains and the closeup of The Redeemer is so great. My biggest complaint with this trailer is that we linger a bit too long on the Deathslinger's face at the end. Yeah, he's creepy with his eyes and his disjointed jaw, but you can only look at a horror for so long before you want to move on.
The Executioner/Pyramid Head - I like this trailer! I haven't played Silent Hills, but I'm at least somewhat familiar with the premise and Pyramid Head. I love the shot of him passing the classroom door window and the sword cutting a rift through the ground. Yeah, my lack of SH knowledge makes me unable to recommend any changes here.
The Blight - I have no changes to suggest. The Blight's transformation is super horrific, reminding me of the typical depiction of Jekyll and Hyde. Honestly, he is so much more terrifying in his trailer and in lore than in gameplay.
The Twins - No changes needed. BHVR is really starting to hit their stride with these trailers! Seeing Victor come out of Charlotte's body is amazing.
The Trickster - We depart from all of the other trailers by using an K-POP music video style. It does a good job at referencing some of his story beats (namely torturing/killing people, recording their screams, and using them in his music), but it doesn't really make me afraid of the Trickster. Sure, it fits with his theme, but I would have preferred seeing more of him, y'know, instead of just looking pretty and making faces? I still wouldn't change the art style of the trailer, though. It's fitting enough for him and a breath of fresh air from the doom and gloom.
The Nemesis - No change needed, mostly because I'm not too familiar with the Resident Evil series, but seeing Jill, the twink Leon, and Nemesis on-screen is a very cool moment. Also can we get an F in chat for Meg?
The Cenobite/Pinhead - This is a perfect trailer. We got the Lament Configuration, we got the chains pinning up Dwight, we got Pinhead himself! What more can I ask for?
If you actually made it this far, thank for reading? I don't think I really contribute anything to the fandom with this analysis, but DBD has been living rent free in my brain for the past month, so I may as well write something, eh?

Runes How to Read - Advanced Runes Free Part 1
Tumblr media
Runes How to Read  Runes
youtube
  This is a video on how to simplify runes, how to read. There are a lot of great books out there on runes.
Back to Runes Meanings
I actually ended up writing all the runes, their names and what page they can be found on there’s actually two separate pages. They can be found on here. Coming back, I would just add those in there so that you can look them up quick. So if you pick up this one and you’re wondering what it means it’s Gifu go to this page or this page, the first page. For me is usually the best, but the second one to back up.
Tag: Runes how to read
So that’s a good one, the other one, that’s excellent for understanding and remembering them is ruins for transformation by kids or Coulson. He was on beyond worlds. This is a really excellent book that breaks down the runes into some simple meanings, and he gives some great true life examples so that you can kind of make applications to their meaning a little bit easier. Runes how to read
Tag: Runes how to read
So those are the two books runes how to read I reckon so here we go so we’re going to take them out of order you’re going to usually see runes and in books arranged the same way, I’m going to arrange it in such a way that will help you remember. So I have similar looking and similar meaning runes, grouped together to help you remember. Runes how to read
Tag: Runes how to read
As usual, we usually have flashcards and we have a flashcard for this you’re just going to take index card you’re going to cut it in half with scissors and making little flashcards like this. So that’s ISA and then the meanings on the back and I’ll show you how to do it and my blog, which I will put the link under this video.
It’S going to list all these meanings so that you can write them right on your own index cards. But I do recommend you: do them I’ll be doing some memory triggers for you to help. You remember these and learn how to read runes. Runes how to read
Tag: Runes how to read free
I am NOT going to be worried about you remembering each of the runes named, but I do want you to know their basic meanings, because I want you, after these videos to be able to pick up a room and know it at me. I want you to put them right to work so we’ll get started, so you can kind of get your your kick start with runes.
First of all, I have this room you’ll notice. It looks like an F. That’S because that actually is what it represents and F is for finances.
Tags: Tag: Runes how to read Online
Think of worth this actually is based on an old meaning of cattle and, if you think of it and may actually look like their antlers a little bit. But when you look at the meanings of this think of f financial worth, but the value of something prosperity, when you had cattle, that was how you traded things that you had a dowry you might want to trade, a few cows for that future wife.
Tag: Runes how to read
So the F is going to be money value. How much is something worth so if we look at that in terms of the runes, how much these runes worth to you, you might buy this for a set of runes for maybe twenty five dollars. But what is it worth to you in terms of how you use it?
Tags: runes how to read rune stones
Maybe it’s worth more so think of worth next you’ll notice. This one looks very similar notice how the prongs go down. Think of financial value is up. This is down and think of this. As an antenna, because this is how we transmit knowledge communication wisdom – you might even think of things flying over the internet with this one.
So this is our thoughts and our words and that’s how we learn. We learn from each other and gain wisdom. These are signals so think of this as an antenna, so we’ve got finances and worth we’ve got antenna now this one looks different, but it has a similar meaning to the worth of financial worth.
This one has to do with property, inheritance and home. I want you to think of as standing up like this is this is a diamond and it’s standing up on something is propped up, might be passed on down to like a ring.
Tumblr media
If you think this is a diamond ring on a band, but this is basically inheritance your legacy, what you leave behind, how things are passed on what you come with so in terms of the runes they come to us with a meaning that is based on something Before it so, for example, when we talked about this, the finances, this is fate who this is based on cattle and cattles worth so that’s its legacy. Its inheritance inherited the meaning through that. Okay.
Tag: Runes how to read
So when we think of this, it could be land buildings, things we pass on inheritance possessions traits that we that are carried on, perhaps your families or from earth. If you asked how did they get this medical condition – and this came up, it might be something inherited.
Tag: Runes how to read
I also can be somebody that’s consumed by their ideals. That’S a little bit of a different meaning, but we’ll just base this right now on legacy, so the stable value of something how it continues to be used generation after generation how it’s developed based on its history.
So three cards of ward, so I want you to think again, which one is this: that’s our antenna and communication learning and wisdom, which one is this up with finances worth cattle. What’S with this, that’s what’s being passed down inheritance, if we think of this is how it applies to the runes, it’s, how did the runes communicate with us? How do what is their voice?
Tag: Runes how to read runes
What is shared between you and your runes when you throw them down on the casting line, that’s their voice, thoughts and words that you obtain to them. Okay, so those are our first three now I’m going to give you some a little different, I’m going to give you two of stasis, so we have. First of all, this looks like the letter. I doesn’t it well, it is. This is for ice.
It looks like an icicle up and down frozen, it does mean frozen, it can mean a cooling relationship, but basically it means you’re stuck frozen. Think of something in the ice. It’S rigid it’s there. So that’s an easy one to remember, because it’s just ice and it’s just started. This looks similar but you’ll notice.
Tag: Runes how to read
It has a slash through it and this is about needs. So what are the needs of something? So if we think about the needs of the room, what what are the needs for runes well, you’ve got to have some people might need a spread with spread positions. Some people might need another Oracle to use in combination with some people might need a bit more study than other people. Some people might need to know the history of them to really understand them.
You might need a book, so this is about needs. It’S about constraints. The ice is kind of cut through this is about what’s necessary, to do something. It can be about delays, because when you need something you have to stop and pack it or stop and get it, and that just needs to have some patience. Those needs have to be fulfilled before we get somewhere.
Tag: Runes how to read
So even though they’re constraints you’re still on your way somewhere. So we’ve got our icicle and being frozen little slasher we’ve now gotten needs a little bit different. So, let’s take what we know in this video. I’M just going to shuffle up the cards, I’m going to give you a little quiz and see if you can guess what these are. Okay, so here’s a quiz for you see if you can guess what the meanings of these cards are.

What are some actually GOOD Sword and Sandal movies?
Tumblr media
One of the bigger genres in Italy who’s popularity came and went in waves from the silent era to the present, Sword and Sandal (or Peplum) films are Italian movies about gladiators, musclemen, Ancient Greece and Rome, and who’s main characters include Hercules, Spartacus, Ursus, Maciste (a homegrown, semi-Marxist Hercules who fights the rich and decadent who is purely a creation of Italian cinema).
Tumblr media
The genre started in 1912, with Cabiria, an ultra-early Italian feature that predated D.W. Griffith, featuring a muscular African slave named Maciste, and due to his muscles and screen presence, Bartolomeo Pagano may have been the first true movie star, making dozens of sequels. The popularity of these movies went into hibernation in Italy until 1959, when it got a huge resurgence when Steve Reeves starred as Hercules, and consequently became the highest paid star in Europe. Hercules (1959) caused literally hundreds of movies to be made, assembly line, in a burst of about 5 years. The genre burned itself out through repetition in only a half decade, only to be replaced by the Italian horror/slasher film and the Spaghetti Western. It was down for good, only to have something of a resurgence of popularity in Italy in the wake of the popularity of John Milius’s Conan the Barbarian in the early 1980s.
Tumblr media
Sword and Sandal seems to be a genre where any given film picked at random could be a Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode. For the most part, Sword and Sandal movies are mostly known for being the training ground of people who showed their skills in other genres, like how Mario Bava became a horror director, or how Sergio Leone, a second unit director on a few, was best known later for Spaghetti Westerns. And there is certainly some truth to the idea that, if you have seen one, you’ve seen them all. But there are certainly some good examples of the genre that are worth seeing.
Goliath and the Dragon (1960)
Don’t be fooled, this is a Hercules movie, but they renamed it because of some begobbled distribution rights issue.
Tumblr media
If you were a Greek mythology kid (and most nerdy kids went through a phase they were into sharks, dinosaurs, Greek mythology, AV/Radio, writing in Dwarf runes under your desk after reading Tolkien for the first time, and lego) you might remember reading about Hercules’s semi-tragic end, poisoned and killed by his own wife and a centaur. It was the most fascinating story, where Hercules’s great strength and courage was defeated by jealous and anxious little people who tore him down. Americans don’t have much of a taste for tragedy, so it’s very seldom been adapted for American audiences.
Tumblr media
Goliath and the Dragon is that story. It literally starts with Hercules finishing his hardest heroic Labor, and retiring. However, his younger brother is jealous of him, and a conspiracy of schemers work to get rid of Hercules by manipulating envy. Along the way, Hercules feels abandoned by the gods and he turns against them in anguish after a lifetime of service. It has a dragon, and quests into the underworld, yes, but it is primarily not an adventure film, which is what makes it interesting.
It also stars Mark Forest, who might be the only one of the bodybuilders to play Hercules to have a legit screen presence. He later left movies to become an opera singer and voice coach. 
Eric the Conqueror (1961)
Tumblr media
This is one by Italian horror titan Mario Bava, and because it’s kind of a well known film, it actually has a half-decent transfer, including availability in the original language instead of a shoddy 70s dub - this is utterly, absolutely unheard of in this genre, where the copies of these movies on streaming (even on Amazon Prime!) are sometimes literally off VHS and have “snow lines” and other phenomenally half-assed signs of VHS transfer, like the original FBI WARNING stickers.
The film is about two Viking brothers, one of who is raised by Christians as a knight, the other of whom grows up the son of a pagan Viking warlord. It’s a film about the contrast between Christian and Pagan, and the one thing about it people remember is that it stars a pair of Playboy Playmate twins. Stylish and action-oriented with lots of red blood, it’s like a cool version of Disney’s “The Island at the Top of the World.”
Hercules in the Haunted World (1961)
Tumblr media
Hercules vs. Christopher Lee –need I say more? Christopher Lee is a vampire who took over a kingdom and hypnotized Hercules’s true love, shrouding the land in eerie darkness…and so Hercules has to descend into the underworld. This is a case where the screenshots really tell the story, they get across the eerie, surreal Gothic ambiance of the film. It doesn’t actually feature Castle Greyskull, but it would perfectly fit in with the décor.
Tumblr media
As far as I know, Hercules never actually encountered vampires in Greek folklore, but in Italian cinema, they seem to feel that the supreme challenge for the Son of Zeus is the undead (see also, Kobrak in Goliath and the Sins of Babylon).
Tumblr media
I feel guilty having two Mario Bava movies on here. But of the two, this one feels the more…Mario Bava, in lighting, design, and ambiance, which is really the reason to see it. Essentially, it’s Hercules Goes to Hell, and it’s treated as more of a truly eerie horror movie, with weird lighting. The presence of Christopher Lee makes it feel like a bodybuilder accidentally wandered onto the set of a Hammer Horror film, with crumbling castles and she-vampires in negligees.
Maciste in Hell (1925)
Tumblr media
Speaking of the essential plot of a muscleman going to hell, you wouldn’t think a movie of that kind would be whimsical, charming, imaginative, and creative, but it is. Satan tries to tempt Maciste, a pure in heart muscleman who represents the pure, incorruptible goodness and strength of the working class. Maciste movies, distinct from Hercules films, always had a strong Marxist undertone, with villains who were super-rich and decadent, all the while Maciste resisted their temptations and hung out with the lower classes and sponsored a revolution. The movie is full in intertitles like “the Dragon – Hell’s Aeroplane!” And the quest by female devils to turn Maciste into a demon himself with a kiss. Essentially, it’s a movie where if you’re pure in heart and have biceps of steel, there’s no problem you can’t bench press, grip, or grapple, even Satan. 
According to his memoirs, this was the movie that made Fellini want to become a director.
Hercules and the Princess of Troy (1965)
Tumblr media
Made at the absolute dying gasp of the genre, this one is essentially the “Enter the Dragon” of Sword and Sandal movies, in that it was a Hollywood/Italian co-production, much like how “Enter the Dragon” was the first Hollywood/Hong Kong co-production. It wasn’t a movie at all, but a pilot episode for a television show that never went to series…to everyone’s shame, because if it had been made, it would have been a crowd pleaser, if the pilot was anything to go by. I all but guarantee it would be a syndication favorite that would have turned everyone in it into a star, the kind that would be on Nick at Nite forever, or the earliest incarnation of F/X, where it was just a scrappy rerun network with a pre-Survivor Jeff Probst (I still remember the F/X house all the VJ like hosts lived in).
Tumblr media
This one has Hercules (played by Tarzan Gordon Scott) as a sea captain and leader of a Greek ship named the Olympia, who is accompanied by two sidekicks, Ulysses (a young, clever Ulysses as Herc’s sidekick was also a trait of Paul Levine’s Hercules and Hercules Unchained), and Diogenes, Hercules’s smart friend, a medical doctor and proto-scientist who comes off as the project’s most interesting character, a Dr. McCoy like curmudgeon who adventures to stay away from his awful wife, who creates a chemical that burns on water and who uses the Socratic Method to solve a murder mystery. If this had gone to series, I can see him overshadowing the theoretical leading man in a similar way to Jonathan Harris as Dr. Smith overshadowing the Robinsons. 
The pilot was great fun. It had mythological creatures like invulnerable horses and a terrifyingly unique sea monster, that was some of the earliest work by the now legendary Carlo Rambaldi (creator of E.T. and the Alien) that is light years ahead of the shag carpet dragons musclemen pretend to wrestle in movies like this. Not to mention a mystery, and Hercules facing intrigue that, as a trustworthy and direct man of action, he is incapable of dealing with (a trait of nearly every single interesting Hercules movie).

1. Genesis Alpha (Rune Michaels)
.Genesis Alpha was recommended to me by a friend in high school who said it 'messed her up' and she needed someone to understand the mental journey it took her on. With an introduction like that, how could I possibly pass it up? I read this book in one sitting. Once I picked it up it was impossible for me to put it down again. This book is combination adventure, action, science fiction, and mystery without ever really seeming to be any of those at any one time. It is an indescribable combination but definitely one that made the book super thrilling. I was at times literally on the edge of my seat reading it, even turning pages so fast that I got paper cuts. It's one of those books where you really want to know how it's all going to turn out, and the ending is so unbelievably, satisfyingly surprising. This book, while being an awesome book to read just for fun, is also capable of sparking some actual meaningful discussions. I won't spoil the topic, but this book is mindblowing and so were the thoughts I was able to share with my friend who recommended the book and then with my friend who I forces to read it.
2. Raven Boys [Book 1 of the Raven Cycle Series] (Maggie Stiefvater)
. I LOVE the entirety of the Raven Cycle series. These books technically fall into the young adult category, but the themes are meaningful and the plot is mature enough that it is a fine read for anyone who identifies with an adult level of reading as well. These books are not only fun to read with an interesting, fantasy- based story, they also incorporate elements of Welsh mythology, a genre that is not common explored but is definitely worth looking into. The book follows an unlikely group of friends and has just the right balance of hard fantasy- ranging from physic mediums to secret magical forests- and real problems that make the characters likeable and even relatable. These books are categorized as heavily science fiction, which fits but not in the sense of aliens or space travel. It is almost like two great stories in one- the story of a group of friends who the reader follows on the path of discovering how they all fi together as a group, and the story of adventure and danger that travels across all of the books.
3. Shatter Me [Book 1 of the Shatter Me trilogy] (Taheri Mafi)
. The Shatter Me books take place in a post- apocalyptic world, so if you are a fan of the Hunger Games or Divergent, you'll probably like these books. I was unsure about these books at first because in the beginning, the protagonist Juliette is one of the most unlikeable and weak female characters ever put to paper. However, if you persevere through some of her more ridiculous moments, Juliette undergoes what is singlehandedly the most incredible character arc of any book I have ever read. She is a true badass, and she does what is right for her, not necessarily what others think she should do or what you would expect her to do as the presumed 'hero' of the books. She easily, in the end, puts both Triss and Katniss to shame. These books are also a bit more fantasy than the Hunger Games or Divergent books, in that they do encompass some aspects of high fantasy such as certain special powers of some of the characters. I was skeptical about this, but it wasn't at all overbearing and didn't have much of a hold over the story as to be ridiculous. The different powers and their implications are also very symbolic and sparked some great conversations between myself and my friend who recommended the series to me in the first place, also promising me as I am promising you that even if she seems hopeless in the beginning Juliette is anything but.
4. Cinder [Book 1 of the Lunar Chronicles] (Marissa Meyer)
.The Lunar Chronicles are for the most part guilty pleasure reads in that there isn't all that much substance in them. While they do explore some heavy topics in different ways (such as talking about the differences in people and how they are treated by having the main character, Cinder, be a cyborg surrounded by human beings who discriminate against her) they are mostly just plot books. Sometimes I like a little bit of plot, and these books had me so totally hooked that my friend and I went to meet the author when the last book came out. They also include some aspects of fantasy but what is probably the best part about them is that each book is essentially based off of an old fairy tale (Cinder is Cinderella, Scarlet is Little Red Riding Hood, Cress is Rapunzel, and Winter is Snow White) It is interesting to see these characters set in a futuristic world that addresses more of how they would fit in today and on their flaws than on the 'perfect princess' archetype.
5. The Night Circus (Erin Morgenstern)
.The Night Circus is one of those stand- alone books that really needs to be read to be understood. There is really no way to explain any of what goes on in this book. It is part adventure, part action, and minimal part romance that definitely makes for an interesting read. This book basically falls into every category of every genre, and is one that I feel can be enjoyed by anyone. At times, it is hard to follow, but rather than make it difficult it just makes the book more interesting to read because I know that all I wanted to do when I was reading it was to finish it and see how everything came together.
6. Joyland (Stephen King)
.While Stephen King generally focuses on more fictional scenarios for his books (such as vampires or killer clowns), Joyland is more of a traditional murder mystery with very, very little of any of that brought in in the form of a ghost who barely makes an appearance in the novel. This book is fast paced and exciting, something that I hate to say I don’t usually think about King novels, which I feel are usually unnecessarily long and drawn out. Also contrary to other King novels I have read, this one actually has an ending straight out of a slasher film or murder mystery movie that is opposite the often anti- climactic endings to King's novels. If you are a fan of mystery novels, you definitely can't go wrong with this one.
7.  Everything, Everything (Nicola Yoon)
.This book recently became a movie, which of course I went to see. I have never seen a movie that stays so true to the book before. It was so good and incorporated everything that I loved about the book. This is incentive enough to read the book, but before I even knew the movie was in progress I was in love with the book. The relationship between the characters is entirely emotional, which allows an insight into the characters and how they work. Each of the characters is a good model for thought reflection and the book touches on issues in a way that makes them easy to understand while also contributing to make the plot better. They act not as a detriment but as proof of something that can be worked around.
8. The Sisters (Claire Douglass)
.This book was a trip from start to finish. It follows an unstable young woman who finds herself living in a house with a two girls, one of whose brothers lives with them. The four young adults are left to their own devices, but soon discover that mysterious, sinister events that live the newest member of the household feeling targeted. This is a story of jealousy and taboo with a twist that left me with chills, not only because it was unexpected but because it was beyond unusual as compared to anything I'd ever read before. Definitely give it a go if you like mystery books or if you like stories where there is no extreme plot, only a story that seems realistic in a place that anyone could visualize themselves in, giving the book a creepy vibe with its sense of reality.
9. Station Eleven (Emily St. John Mandel)
.Station Eleven was recommended to me by my Lit teacher, and it was one of the only books that a teacher has ever told me to read and that I've enjoyed this thoroughly. Station Eleven takes place in two different worlds: pre- and post-apocalypse. The characters are shown separately from each other and are followed through their times in the before and after of the apocalypse. I like the presentation of a post- apocalyptic world in this novel. Rather than the typical zombie apocalypse or the Hunger Games- esque type of dystopian world, this apocalypse is a flu or cold that literally just wipes out the majority of the population and leaves only those who are immune. There are no lingering effects like in a zombie setting and a government does not form like in many of the dystopian novels I've read. Instead, we see the lives of these people as they were before, and then how they were once these people need to live in abandoned villages foraging for their own food and trying to stay out of the paths of other groups. It incorporates everything I love about the Walking Dead without the typical zombie nature of apocalypse books. It is an exploration into what the world could really be like when people are left to their own devices.
10. Inkheart (Cornelia Funke)
.Have you ever wanted to be drawn into the world of your favorite book? To be among your favorite characters- heroes and villains alike- and see the events first hand right in front of you? For Mo and Meggie of Inkheart, they would do anything to stop the crossing of worlds that turns their lives upside down. Mo binds books. He has always done it and he's very good at it. What he's also good at is making the books he reads aloud come alive… literally. When Mo reads free the characters of the book Inkheart, he and his daughter and his late wife's aunt resolve to set the world to rights and be rid of Capricorn and his men forever. This book incorporates action, fantasy, and adventure while also showing an appreciation by the author for books and the craft of writing.
11. Hamlet (William Shakespeare)
.Almost everyone knows the story of Hamlet, even if they don't know they do. A man and his father, the King, torn apart in tragedy by an Uncle who seeks the throne. Sound familiar? Disney's Lion King is based heavily off of the main points of Hamlet. The original, of course, is much more extreme in the depictions of vengeance, passion, and madness. Before reading Hamlet, I thought I didn't like Shakespeare. Then I realized I just wasn't reading the right books. Hamlet is truly interesting, as is the modern retelling Nutshell by Ian McEwan, which I would suggest reading after. Having a modern retelling of a book only makes me more excited to read the original and then to see how the characters I have grown attached to are incorporated into today's world.
12. The Girl on the Train (Paula Hawkins)
.When I think of this book, the first word that comes to mind is suspenseful. This is one of those books- and now one of those great movies- that depicts a character who has dug themselves into such a hole that they are no longer taken seriously… even when they're telling the truth. No one believes Rachel, hardly even herself. Is she making everything up, or did she really witness a murder through the window of the train she takes every day? No one can be trusted and no one can trust. The characters are put into positions of peril that are incredibly fascinating and dangerous and nerve- wracking. This book to movie adaptation is also incredible, which was incentive enough for me to read the novel in the first place and I' glad I did.
13. Enchantment (Orson Scott Card)
.You know the story of Sleeping Beauty, but you don’t know it like this. Card explores a classic fairytale through the lens of Russian mythology in a tale of adventure, magic, and romance that only increases my love for the Disney movie. The story is explores more as an adventure and less as a romance following a male protagonist who has a lot of help from independent females who are empowering and admirable. It is a great version of the story and has all of Card's usual excitement and interest.
14. Dexter (Jeff Lindsay)
.Dexter is one of my favorite TV shows. However, as funny as the characters are on screen, they barely hold a candle to the hilarity and depth of the characters in the books. Dexter's dark humor is constantly on display in the book, as his thoughts are a running commentary throughout everything that happens. It is rare that a 'hero' shows so many signs of villainy as Dexter does. It is not often- or ever- that I find myself sympathizing with and rooting for serial killers. The reason I like Dexter is because there are essentially three stories going on at once: Dexter helping his sister at the police department solve crimes, Dexter keeping his identity a secret with his relationship with Rita as a disguise, and Dexter following the 'rules' to figure out who his next victim will be. There is never too much focus on any one area of Dexter's life and it keeps the book fast paced and interesting.

I would be INCREDIBLY interested in reading what you wrote about the extent of the damage on Vincent’s face!
Okay okay okay. So let's start off with a few caveats:
I have a medical background and lots of general medical and biological knowledge, but I am not a doctor or anything, so while I have done some additional research relating to this, I'm sure there are things I missed/don't know. A lot of what I'm going to cover is just what I consider to be scientifically logical with the benefit of my background.
While we're at it, I've seen the movie a decent amount of times but not, like, a ton. I may very well misremember something. Feel free to correct me or add on.
I'm disinclined to believe that the House of Wax production team brought in a specialist or even did more than cursory research on the subject, so there will be areas where I'm going to have to discount aspects of the movie for the sake of realism. (Sometimes movies aren't intended to be completely realistic and that's okay, but we're going to cover this from the perspective of how it would have to be to work in the real world.)
I'm not trying to debunk anyone else's interpretations; if anything I put here flies in the face of your personal headcanons, don't worry about it. You do you. This is not intended to be dogmatic.
This is fuckin LONNNNNNG. Which is why I avoided typing it up for so long. This took like 3 hours :p
So first off: conjoined twins.
The specific type that describes Bo and Vincent is craniopagus, i.e. conjoined at the head. The movie takes some liberties here, as the face area is practically never involved in real life, and as far as I could tell there's never been a case of conjoined twins born in their specific orientation (most of the time they're joined at the forehead and facing each other, joined at the back of the head and facing away from each other, or joined at the top of the head).
Furthermore, there are two major subtypes of craniopagus twins (CPT): total and partial. This has to do with whether or not the twins share a large portion of their dural venous sinuses (major vessels found in the lining of the brain) - total meaning they do, and by extension also show pronounced distortion within the cranuim. As you may expect, this type is associated with higher mortality rates and much greater difficulty of separation (lots of large vessels at a surgery site = higher risk of complications and bleeding out). Many of these twins are stillborn, die shortly after birth, or cannot be separated without one or both twins passing away during surgery or shortly thereafter. While it is the more common type of CPT, it's safe to assume that this is not the type that Bo and Vincent fall into, since they were apparently separated fairly easily and with no lasting damage aside from poor Vinny's precious face :(
Partial CPT, however, do not share a significant portion of these vessels (or any at all), and are characterized by limited surface area involvement and intact (or mildly defected) skulls. Prognosis of separation is much more optimistic in these cases. I'd say this one has gotta be our boys.
Okay, so we've got some background on the condition. Let's move on to surgery.
We're told (I think? I'm pretty sure this has been said) that Dr. Sinclair performed their separation surgery. Now. This is a tiny town in backwoods Louisiana, which probably does not have the best facilities or equipment - and who knows how qualified he was to actually perform this procedure in the first place.
The process in general is super interesting, but I'm not going to get into the details since it's not relevant to the current discussion (and probably isn't nearly as intriguing to people without a medical background, honestly). It usually involves a multidisciplinary team (often surgeons and cosmetic specialists), a long procedure (sometimes 12-18 hours), and several stages of surgery (as in, several surgeries over a few months) before full separation. Dr. Sinclair's resources were likely not ideal, which is why Vincent's face looks that way. Normally, there would have been cosmetic surgeons present to repair damaged tissues and structures. Dad likely just had to make do with what he had. (For this reason, I'm going to go ahead and make the claim later that their skulls were fully intact, because I honestly don't think he would have been able to separate them so successfully otherwise.)
Bo seems to have come through quite unscathed (someone has stated previously that he might wear a wig, and yeah, he might), but let's talk about
the lasting damage to Vincent's face.
There are two ways to approach this: skull deformity or no skull deformity. I've already stated which one I prefer, but let's go over both for the sake of thoroughness.
Let's say the twins' skulls were, in fact, joined. Bo would have been the one to come away with it, leaving Vincent with an open cranium - which their surgeon would have had to address, because you can't very well leave the brain with no protection. This would mean some kind of plate, or something, which would significantly complicate and lengthen the surgery. It's possible, but not likely in my opinion.
If Vincent had his own complete skull, albeit with some degree of fusion between the soft tissues to the bone, things would be a lot simpler in terms of survivability. The bone would be damaged from the separation, but present and closed, which at least means his brain is intact and safe, and it's only the outward structures we need to worry about.
If you separate his face into quadrants, the connection seems to be focused on the upper right side, specifically in the area of the eye socket - contrary to being a casualty of the separation, that eye likely never even formed.
Other possible structural issues include the sinus cavities, any holes in the hard palate, jaw connection (if it extends that far), and muscles/connective tissue. These things could all be repaired with varying degrees of success. It's likely his TMJ (jaw joint) wasn't involved. Dealing with a cleft palate or damaged connective tissue is easy enough (at least enough to make it functional). His sinuses on that side are very probably fucked up, but that's not necessarily a big deal. His mouth and teeth shouldn't be affected, overall.
There is, however, significant trauma and scarring throughout the soft tissue layers. His skin is visibly a mess. There's nothing wrong with it, necessarily - that's just what happens when tissue is traumatized and then left to heal that way. This is something a cosmetic surgeon could have fixed, at least by and large.
Ready for some pictures? :)
I'm not sure the method they used for this, but even if they did some practical effect makeup, I suspect CGI was at least involved and I'll tell you why in a moment.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You can see an intact zygomatic arch (cheekbone) and supraorbital, forming a complete eye socket. This part of the skull appears to be properly formed and structured. You can see where an eye would have been. (That ear might be gone, too, if the damage extends that far - I'm not sure if we're ever shown. But cartilage isn't very hardy.)
That nostril is gone, and the sinuses surrounding it are likely either not present or collapsed and nonfunctional. Our boy is probably very congested (and nasally, if he speaks), and has to breathe through his mouth unless he wants to sound like Darth Vader.
The tissue around his mouth is fairly deformed, though his lips seem to be mostly intact. I don't know what that's supposed to be in the corner there - it's tooth-colored but doesn't have the same structure as teeth and isn't in the right place. Weird scar tissue or CGI weirdness, idk.
I also don't know why his teeth look sharp there?? There's no reason his teeth would be sharp. If anything, they would be missing, IF the permanent teeth, which form within the skull before they erupt and push out the baby teeth, seen here:
Tumblr media
were either affected by the process or didn't form in the first place, which I suppose is possible. But even then, his lower jaw shouldn't be involved. Those teeth should be normal.
Tumblr media
His mouth looks more normal here, and you can see even more clearly that the cranial structure beneath the skin seems to be complete.
Tumblr media
Right side of lower lip and corner of mouth look more substantially affected here. (and the teeth again. why the weird spacing and sharp points? it doesn't make any sense.)
Here he is in motion:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And here's the annoying part:
Tumblr media
SUDDENLY HALF HIS FACE IS A CRATER?!?
From this angle, it looks completely caved in on that side. I'm going to discount this as a CGI mishap or something, because 1. his skull seems perfectly intact in every other view and 2. this would cut deeply into his cranial structures, which would cause pretty significant impediments and 3. if his skull was caved into his brain like that, he'd be severely impaired or dead. And he doesn't appear to be either one of those. This is horseshit and it will not stand.
Finally, on the subject of speech:
Is he unable to talk, or does he just not want to? I'll give you my take on it, but again, feel free to believe whatever floats your boat.
I don't see any reason he shouldn't be able to speak, physically (its possible he could be mute for some psychological reason). His vocal structures themselves should be unaffected. Between the damage to his lips (not extensive, but still), sinuses, and possibly some missing teeth or palate deformities, however, it's likely that he has a hard time speaking clearly - whether due to the quality of his voice (nasally, congested, probably can't articulate terribly well) or even a full speech impediment. That's my personal belief on the subject.
And with that, we've finally reached
the end!
Let no one ever challenge my love and devotion for this man. :)

Good morning and how about Asa and "I'll rip your tongue out if you won't shut up"?
You'd breezed into the kitchen chattering about your day, tidying up around Asa while he cooked. Normally, he'd hum and nod, content to listen, but today he seemed... chilly.
Finally, he ended up setting the sauce to a simmer and pulling you in for a kiss mid-sentence to silence you... so imagine his chagrin when you keep trying to talk every time his lips pull away from yours. He exhales deeply in frustration.
"If you can't shut up," he mutters, breath ghosting across your skin, "I'm going to rip out your tongue."
You scowl and shove him away from you - though not very far, because he catches your forearm and pulls you with him.
"I'm just telling you about my day, you don't have to be a dick," you growl, struggling against his hold.
"No, you're telling me - endlessly - about that coworker of yours with an obvious crush on you," he growls back, sounding meaner than you could ever hope to, "and clearly you reciprocate those feelings since you insist on - "
It's your turn to cut him off with a kiss, and by the time you pull back, his glare has lost its edge.
"Jealousy doesn't look good on you," you scold, bringing a palm to his face with a light slap, "though I appreciate the affirmation of your affections."
He scowls into your grin, then extricates himself from you in favor of stirring the sauce on the stove.

OOOO Mason please? Being his lovely wife and happily indulging in his pred/prey kink by letting him chase you through the woods. You think you got the upper hand this time but end up being very wrong-- cue being wrestled into submission and fucked into overstimulation.
I know this took a while but I had a very good reason: I'm crazy and I got carried away. On the other hand, instead of like 500 words you're about to receive 2.3k :)
c.w: fem reader (gendered terms used), lemon | lots of pet names, predator/prey dynamics (short chase scene), size kink ran a little rampant oops, restraint, biting (not enough), oral (f receiving), praise, overstimulation, creampie, smut with feelings (related: soft!Mason). 🔞
This story has been moved to my new sideblog @the-diabolist.

cw. rough treatment, oral (reader receiving)
Tumblr media
"...and it pissed me off so much that I -"
"Uh huh, cool story bro," you interrupt, lowering your poised hips toward his face until his words became muffled. You'd been barely listening anyway.
His eyebrows knit together as he mutters something unintelligible and his hands grab at your thighs, as if preparing to shove you off; you thread your fingers into his hair, ready to grab a fistful if he tries. The touch seems to soothe him, though, and he finally puts his mouth to good use with a small moan.
Unfortunately, you can only enthrall him this way for as long as his attention span holds, and he gets bored easily.
You're just starting to roll your hips in earnest when his hands - which he'd left on your thighs so they could knead and wander over your skin while he worked - surge back into action, lifting you off of him and tossing you to the side more quickly than you expected and more easily than you'd care to admit.
You fall over the edge of the bed and to the floor with a loud thud (that'll bruise, you bet); you quickly try to sit back up but he's already on you, shoving you roughly back down and caging you beneath him.
Your fingers find their way to his ribs, lightly tracing the thin scar there. A little reminder for him that you're not as helpless as he'd like to think. You feel his abs contract at the touch, skin jolting away from the undesirable memory.
"I was talking to you - don't be a useless brat," he growls, snatching your wrists away from his torso and pinning them above your head.
"And I was trying to come on your tongue - you're the useless brat here," you retort coolly into his scowling face.
"We'll see about that," he huffs before sliding back down your body and burying his face between your thighs again.
You chuckle quietly. It's funny how easy he is once you know the right buttons to push.

Excuse me- May I please ask for a poly Thomas and Vincent headcanons?... how you write them is just so- 🥺❤️💕👌😤😫
VERY ADORABLE ❣️ Thank you!
Sorry this took a million years, I've been working on it a bit at a time xD I used the same format as my poly!chromespann headcanons.
With Thomas, you feel so…
Delicate – no matter what kind of frame you have, he’ll treat you like something precious he’s afraid of breaking. He knows how rough and strong his hands are, and he’s constantly anxious about accidentally hurting someone important to him (laughably, this extends to Vincent too – watching him treat the other man, who is quite strong and sturdy in his own right, like he’s made of porcelain is something to behold).
Safe – he may be worried he’s going to harm you, but you certainly aren’t. You know he’d never hurt you, and what’s more – he’d never let anyone else hurt you either. Strangers lurking around the neighborhood? So what. Things going bump in the night? You don’t even wake up. It’s impossible to be frightened when you’re beside such a big, protective bear of a man.
Cherished – you’re so, so precious to him; it’s obvious in the way he looks at you, the way he touches you, the little notes he leaves for you, the things he does around the house - every interaction with him is drowning in tender affection. He’d do anything for you, you’re sure. He feels so lucky and grateful to have you, and he tries to demonstrate that as often as he can.
With Vincent, you’ve never been so…
Accepted - you can be yourself around him, completely without judgment. Rarely have you been so comfortable in your own skin. It's important to him that you feel able to be completely open with him, and he has succeeded in that.
Revered - you're his muse, his light in the darkness, the altar at which he worships through burnt (sculpted?) offering. Sometimes you get vertigo from how high on a pedestal he's placed you, but it seems impossible for you to fall off - he knows you're not perfect, he just holds you in high esteem despite your imperfections.
Understood - it's almost unnerving how accurately he can guess, without a word from you, what you're thinking or how you're feeling. It's as if he's memorized every subtle expression or movement you make. He's also good at knowing what you need - whether that's space, or comfort, or distraction.
All together now!
They have a great dynamic on their own, but you're the icing on the cake. Both men enjoy nurturing and being nurtured equally; in this relationship, you all take care of each other.
It's a quiet, peaceful household. Lazy weekend mornings cuddling in bed, low-key evenings making dinner together, board game nights. If you like cozy familiarity, this is the relationship for you.
Thomas' love language is acts of service, which tends to manifest in househusbandy ways; he does chores (he's used to those anyway), he cooks, he fixes things around the house. It makes him happy to provide for the two of you in that way.
Vincent's love language is quality time; if he's not engrossed in his work, he's hanging out with one or both of you - whether that involves watching a movie, working on a project together, or just keeping you company while you fold towels or something.
NSFW below the cut
Oh boy, these two are a treat.
What are you in the mood for? Slow and sensual or fast and rough? Top or bottom? Kinks you wanna try? They'll happily grant any wish you may have. They're very well-rounded and flexible.
One thing is for sure: you'll be extremely well taken care of - before, during, and after. They endeavor to make you feel special at all times, so it's no surprise they dote on you in bed too.
It's like they can read each others' minds; they pass you back and forth and maneuver you into position for one another with zero apparent communication.
Usually it's all three of you at once (hands everywhere), but sometimes they like to take turns watching you with the other one.
Thomas has the higher sex drive and often instigates. Most of your one-on-one sessions are with him.
Vincent is kinkier. Restraint, temperature play (with or without wax), you name it. Thomas is a simple man and would be perfectly happy with just the basics, but he enjoys the extra stuff too.
Vincent lasts longer, but Thomas can go more rounds. You're going to end up exhausted for sure. :) enjoy!

Hi, May I request for some Thomcent x reader? I just love them so much, thank you!
This is shorter than I would have preferred, but hopefully it's satisfactory when paired with the headcanons I posted earlier.
Is this thin enough? Thomas signs after setting down the rolling pin. You lend a critical eye to the cookie dough while Vincent shakes his head gently.
"Not quite," you say, "roll it out a little bit more, we want them to bake properly - and how's the frosting coming?"
Vincent steps back from the counter to show you multiple small bowls of icing in a spectrum of colors.
"Nice, I knew I could trust you with the food coloring," you laugh; he smiles back at you. "Yeah, that'll do it," you answer in response to a tap on the shoulder from Thomas - the dough is now the perfect thickness for cutting, and you're quick to grab the basket of Valentine's shapes from the counter.
"Here, have my heart," you grin, passing out a couple different heart-shaped cookie cutters.
That's only fair, seeing as you already have mine, Vincent signs, small smile on his face.
Your mouth drops open slightly as you stare at him, short-circuiting.
Smooth, Thomas signs, chuckling.
"Too smooth," you respond once your brain starts working again. "Don't make me weak in the knees, I'm trying to bake."
Your half-hearted scolding doesn't take, however - probably because you said it while practically throwing yourself into his arms.
He immediately wraps you up in a big bear hug, squeezing the air out of you for a moment. Then he lifts a hand from you to motion Thomas over, who crashes into the two of you with enthusiasm and lifts you both into the air in his arms.
At this rate, it was going to take forever to get these cookies done, but you certainly weren't going to complain.

Alaska
I'm never going to finish the series this was supposed to be part of, but this piece is done so here you go. Angst angst angst!
Tumblr media
The argument had been bitter. Hateful. The kind of fight that sank in its teeth, causing a wound that wasn't even the worst of it, because the venom it left behind was going to be what killed you. Might even creep up and kill you after the wound itself had already closed, but Bo didn't have a lot of faith that you'd be around long enough for that to be an issue. Not after some of the things he'd said.
He was sitting on the floor of the station, back against the counter, head tilted skyward to stare at the ceiling. With some distance, the anger had drained away, leaving a hollow place in its wake that was slowly filling with sadness and regret.
It wasn't unusual for him to lose his temper and snap at you. He always tried to make it up to you later, but he was sure his behavior was wearing thin. And this... this had been so much worse than normal. Admittedly, you'd both said some hurtful things, but your face when he'd spat those words at you -
His eyes close, wincing at the memory.
He'd realized pretty quickly what he'd done, but even once the anger flagged, fear had taken its place - which was just as poisonous, just as suffocating of any words he could have said.
Since then, he'd tried more than once to stop the bleeding, but you were icing him out. The home you shared had become a frigid wasteland - he felt locked out in a blizzard, heartbeat slowing and limbs stiffening as he succumbed to the cold. He couldn't blame you, but that didn't mean he was ready to die either. Not when that meant losing you.
He'd never intended to let things get this bad; he knew his demons, knew he'd have to work hard to be the kind of person who deserved to have you at his side, but now he was wondering if that had ever been possible for him at all. Maybe he'd been naive to think he could ever have this. You were more important to him than anything, so shouldn't this be easier? Was he too broken, or was he not trying hard enough?
Or maybe you just weren't meant to be his, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Well, if the blame came down to him or you, he'd place it squarely on himself. He knew what he was like, whereas you were just... the only good thing he'd ever had in his entire life. He grips the scars encircling his wrist, tracing the familiar pattern in an unconscious attempt to self-soothe. It doesn't work.
His jaw clenches. He would not accept that your relationship was doomed to fail, and if that meant taking all the blame and begging on his knees, then so be it. For once, he'll do something right.
So he drags himself home again, ready to do anything - to refuse to give up until he fixes things between you. He'd get you to listen, somehow, make it clear how much he loves you.
When he enters the house, something isn't right. It's dark, and it's cold, sure, but that doesn't mean anything. Maybe you went to bed early. Then he walks into the living room and realizes what's different.
It's empty. Your things are gone.
His heart jumps into his throat and pounds there like a drum as he bounds up the stairs, taking them two or three at a time, racing toward the bedroom you share --
Shared, he thinks dully, as he scans the room for any sign of your presence and finds none.
His limbs feel weak and heavy as he heads back downstairs and into the kitchen, feet carrying him on autopilot toward the liquor cabinet. His vision has started to blur but he manages to spot something out of the corner of his eye. He wanders as if sleepwalking to the counter, where a piece of paper has been propped up against a mug.
He's never had his heart broken before, but as he stares down at your words he feels it shatter:
You're right - maybe it would've been better if we had never met.

Prompt #12: “Morning." feat. Heisenberg
You drift slowly into consciousness feeling warm and content. The room is quiet, the bed is soft and cozy, and there's a comforting weight across your middle. Your eyes blink open slowly, only to find another pair looking right back; you bring a hand up and palm his face, pushing him away about an inch.
"Quit staring, creep," you chuckle.
"I was mesmerized by how awful you look first thing in the morning," he mutters.
