[everett-fornow]

🚬Calebs, Lyre and McCallister 🔪

3 more 60s starkillers who all love brown jackets and definitely deserve their own spin off stories. lmk what you think of them!!!

[mosneakers]

While Tatiana agonizes over votes, and Sandra over the missing campaign manager, Starling, unfazed by the effects of the magic portal that transported her, Mira, Morgyn, and her trusted bodyguard, Niko, arrives at the Gilded Pinnacle, ready to shine like the star she's meant to be.

Although Starling usually isn't the biggest fan of Tatiana's uncanny smile and unsettling demeanor, she appreciates the warmth and hospitality that she and Sandra are putting forth tonight, like proper in-laws.

Starling is really hitting it off with Mira's vampire friends, the Vatore siblings; everyone is charmed by her stories and her jokes seem to land perfectly every time. Even Morgyn isn't nearly as unbearable when Coraleye isn't around, and proves to be a lovely conversationalist when they want to be.

Mira is aware of tonight's agenda and how they're supposed to split their time between events. Though she'd love to watch her wife in her element all night, she knows time is ticking. Morgyn, ever observant, notices Mira's hesitancy and prepares the incantation for The Spot, giving Starling a moment to bid farewell to her new admirers.

after like a month i'm back with inazuma 11 characters as animal crossing villagers !!!

ermmm i dont know how but you can always leave suggestions for me to do :3

[marshmellowtea]

i also may have gotten a little too sincerely invested in chris being in a semi-platonic polyamorous situationship with sandra and max. i dunno how we got to this point it started as a joke but now i actually kind of love them?

[mayasaura]

I figured out the in-flught wifi!! I'm back!!

[thelovetheystole]

I've made a list of all the dark and depressing stories Emmerdale have done in recent times under the cut. Lots of trigger warnings for this one, beware.

So, in fairly recent times (from 2022 to now), we've had:

Nicola beaten by a gang of teenage girls / ptsd / afraid to leave her house

Marlon's stroke

Noah stalked Chloe / went to prison / swapped personality with Samson

Return of Dawn's evil ex Alex who pretty much threatened to traffic his own kids

Leyla addicted to cocaine / violent dealer put both Jacob and Suzy in hospital / Leyla overdose / rehab / divorce from Liam

Charity ectopic pregnancy

Sandra trying to fleece her own daughter and push her off the wagon

Faith dead

Harriet dead

Sam speared on farm equipment

Nate trampled by cows

Liv dead

Samson missing/ found half dead after the storm

Chas using her dead daughter to manipulate Aaron to leave the country after Liv's funeral to cover up her affair with Al

Kyle shot Al dead / Cain in prison

Paddy depressed / suicide attempt

Samson tried to have his own daughter taken away from Amelia and put into care and bullied/pushed his dad

Amelia stalked first online then in real life

Lloyd the stalker dead / Dan sent to prison

Cathy pmdd diagnosis

Lydia raped / Craig dead

Eric Parkinson's diagnosis

Caleb in a coma after Nicky pushed him off a cliff

Rishi dead / pushed down the stairs?

Chloe, Mack and Charity in a car accident

Mack kidnapped and beaten / lost Rueben / stabbed by Charity

Charity ptsd after killing Mack's kidnapper

Marshall's homophobic dad locking both him and Laurel up

Heath dead / Angelica custodial sentence

Naomi left and stole Vinny's money from selling the Mill

Ryan and Gail's secret son sick

Victor Anderson dead

Mary scammed / victim of revenge porn

Jacob almost died from allergic reaction

David disowned Jacob over Victoria and told him not to call him dad anymore, left the village

End of Nate and Tracy's marriage

Ruby made Caleb humiliate Tracy

Nicky and Suni attacked by homophobes

Aaron hated everyone / seduced Ethan only to humiliate him to get back at Charles

Vinny bullied and beaten by Aaron

Aaron and Cain trying to batter each other half to death with a spanner / Cain in serious condition

Cain compared Aaron to Gordon and wanted to drive him out of the village

Chas' breast cancer and double mastectomy

Aaron's faulty gene

The entire 'Little Ivy' story from stolen embryos to kidnapping to Gus in prison to marriage problems for Marlon and Rhona

Belle continously abused / same with Piper

Vinny beaten up by Tom

Evan's leukaemia

Nicky (and Ethan) in a car accident / coma

Ethan ran over / dead from unrelated brain bleed

Reveal of Ella as a 'child killer'

Samson stabbed

Matty set up by transphobe / in prison/ arranged his own beating

Laurel, did she have a heart attack?

Jai and Laurel nasty divorce

Samson sent to prison

Ella (and Dawn) in a car accident / pregnancy loss

Mackenzie head injury

And now something is seriously wrong with Moira and there is a big fire stunt coming with at least one death I'm sure, I'm also fairly certain they'll reveal John to have ptsd as well. Then it's time to grieve Zak...

Did I leave anything important out? I'm going to try and make a list for the lighter / more heartwarming stuff, but I think it will be much shorter...

[the-paper-shredder]

Do you have any headcanons for Caleb?

Oh I have. so many. I'm saving a good chunk of them for a post (that'll eventually be finished) that details most of my “important” Wick headcanons.

Otherwise, here's a general list! ➵ Was actually quite tall for his age, towering over several of his classmates. ➵ Neurodivergent, but like Tim and Tom, was never diagnosed. This also influenced Mary's poor treatment of him. ➵ Speaking of Mary, her mistreatment of not only Caleb, but the rest, resulted in Caleb not being particularly fond of her. ➵ Grew up close with Tim, Tom, and Lillian. Benny on the other hand... the teenager always held his siblings at arm's length. This changed after everyone's passing. ➵ Braver than some might think. Every kid tried appealing to Mary in their own way, Benny with faith, Tom with obedience, Tim with emotions, and Lillian with being herself... but Caleb was slightly special. After realizing Mary would never see him as good enough, despite his athletic success, he became defiant in spite of his fear of her. Hell, his bravery isn't even exclusive to Mary. ➵ His favorite fairy tale was, in fact, The Juniper Tree. ➵ Had several friends during life, such as Molly Vogel, Sandra Reed, Melissa Ackerman, and Porter Butler. Although he started to forget some memories of them during the decades after death, he still misses them.

Guessing Game Juke AU

Try and guess the source i mashed with jatp before I reveal it about 3/4 of the way through this. lololol

enjoy 😊😊😊

-----------------

Rose was a rock goddess that left the world, and her family, too soon. but she had quite the legacy left behind that went solely to her family. Julie wanted to follow in her mom's footsteps but she's trying to figure out what the best route is for her and not just bank on her mom's name to get there.

one of those attempts is to go to a less known club's open mic night, where she meets the lead singer of one of the bands and they get to talking about each other's music/lyrics and just really connect (so much so they forget to introduce themselves)

a seedy talent scout approaches her when she steps away to use the restroom but quickly makes it clear what he expects from her if she wants to move upward in the business. Before anything too terrible happens, the guy steps in "that's enough, you should know that's not how the scouts are expected to conduct themselves at Eats and Beats." or soemthing along those lines and the scout growls back "stop butting your head into my business, Patterson. I will blacklist your little band from ever getting signed"

OR SOMETHING.

but THEN

Julie can't let that stand. She is offended on how she was treated but she couldn't let scum like this man threaten those who try to help like that so she comes clean.

"what label did you say you were from, again? Jasmine Records? Let your boss know that your CEO Sandra will be hearing from the Petal Pushers management about the decorum of their talent scouts and their treatment of musicians including the daughter of Rose Sanchez"

OR SOMETHING

and luke is there like whoa whoa whoa, i just wanted to help the wrecking ball of talent and beauty, this is ROSE SANCHEZ'S daughter?! Holy shit

and then julie has to go home and face her dad

and aunt

(DO WE RECOGNIZE THE SOURCE IP?)

from here, their lives go on separately, but luke can't get her out of his head and he knows the best way to get another chance to even talk to her.  SC needs to get signed so they go looking anywhere, follow any lead (not that they weren't already before) to try and get a record deal and move up into the world of those who've made it

and Julie's dad is well meaning but doesn't understand why she went to such a seedy part of town alone and refuses to use the resources left to her if she wants to follow in her mom's footsteps

and then Caleb enters the story

he's been talking to Ray for awhile, trying to convince him  that  Rose's songs should be managed by a label, his label. Why leave the day to day management to the family when they have other things to worry about?

Ray hasn't known what to do but he realizes that he doesn't know what he's doing and he needs to be there for Julie and mentions what happened to Caleb one day during one of their talks and Caleb offers her a contract right then.

"it's the least i could do for dear Rose and sweet Julie"

Julie is put in a strange position, not wanting to turn down such an opportunity but its also not sitting right with her

meanwhile SC get wind of a real exclusive club and manage to get booked there. It has a strange deal, you impress the owner, you get a contract right then, and it's worth looking into

they show up to the HGC and a man with piercing eyes looks down from a VIP balcony

they do it!

they get the deal

it's like a wish come true

life changes for them overnight

skip a bit forward, they are at the recording studio and while taking a break and wandering the halls, luke walks into Julie again. It's obvious that she doesn't recognize him (but unbeknownst to him, thats more because she is preoccupied by everything going on in her world, her dad had dropped the idea of giving a label management of her mom's songs) but they hit it off again

swirling romance?

THEN WE DISCOVER THAT CALEB IS BOTH JAFAR AND THE GENIE BUT DEFINITELY EVIL

Caleb tricks Ray into signing something that basically is a contract for Julie and all of Rose's solo songs

because she is still barely a minor she's "locked" in

and the guys discover that there is a downside to signing the first contract you get on the whims of a club owner, aka HGC owns all songs produced by SC and there is a fashion clause that they were unaware of

they have to help each other out but to break free of the contracts, they have to be willing to risk their music careers,

ultimately, the guys believe in being true to themselves and helping julie out

so SC and Julie expose caleb's underhandedness

Caleb sues SC for defamation and they get shut up real quick. also, Sunset Curve will never make music again

Caleb tries to do something similar to Julie but it comes out that he actually did some real illegal shit regarding her contract, and since she was a minor, it all got nullified and void and so she gets off fairly unscathed

But it's as all this is coming to a close and being more familiar with legalese, julie notices something interesting about the settlement with SC

they can't do anything about the songs already recorded and released by Caleb's label, but when told they wouldn't make music again, the word choice was something along the lines of "the band known as Sunset Curve will cease all current and future creations" but it never names the guys by name.

SO they make Julie and the Phantoms

and GET BIG

GET TO KNOW THE AUTHOR.

name:  mel 

pronouns:  they/them/theirs

preference of communication:  mainly tumblr IMs these days, but i have discord and wire and occasionally i will drop my info on tumblr, give it out privately if asked, or add if someone else is looking to add. it can take me a while to work up the courage to message someone in the first place and i'm really... not good at the usual social cues of "hey how are you/good how are you?/what have you been up to?" but i'm usually game to chat about other stuff

most active muse:  Caleb. i've had a lot of other muses but he's been the one i've been most consistently able to write in the slightly over 3 years since i first started writing him.

experience/how many years:  i had a couple false starts trying to set up rp blogs for Samwise Gamgee from the Lord of the Rings trilogy and Wirt from Over the Garden Wall back in 2014 and 2015? but i just never really managed to get off the ground and start writing in-character for them because i was super heavily intimidated by the rpc and too nervous to approach anyone. finally in january 2017 i stumbled across a parody of Portal 2 on youtube called the Unauthorized Musical and discovered that there were already a handful of muns on tumblr who had picked up characters specifically based on that production and regularly hosted rabbit streams where they'd watch the video again together and welcomed anyone who wanted to join to do so. i noticed nobody was really writing any antagonistic characters against them so i wound up setting up a blog for GLaDOS and following everybody i met during the stream and that was essentially how i became hooked on tumblr rp. i've been kicking around on and off for about 7 years now.

best experience: there's so many to choose from, but i think i'd have to say my best experience was when i started writing Caleb. i was just fresh off watching Westworld season 3, i was actually feeling more compelled at the time to try and write either Dolores, Maeve, Clementine or Teddy but i felt like i wouldn't do any of 'em justice. i ended up making a sideblog to my old multimuse after deciding i would try writing Caleb, and that's where i almost immediately connected with melody/aworldofyou/copiesofme and was enthusiastically introduced to a bunch of other muns residing in the tiny but mighty westworld rpc. 🥰

rp pet peeves: one is pretty much the same as Sandra said; making a new main blog in the spur of the moment. exhausting all energy on curating a distinct aesthetic for icons/banners/promos/custom themes/etc, and then completely losing interest in a week or 2 without ever getting to write that character. and then more often than not the process gets repeated down the line until that person either becomes overwhelmed from having too many blogs to manage or too many memes to answer or too many starters to write.

i also don't particularly love memes that promote making rp into a popularity contest or seeking an almost constant stream of validation from other people. things like "send a _ and i'll rate your blog on a scale of 1 to 10/using a scale template" i try to stay far away from. arguably every notification you get on tumblr is an instant dopamine hit just like all social media is but. idk there was just something about those blog rating/character rating memes that made them feel more addictive to send and receive than like, taking the time to give someone your honest opinion on how you feel about them as a person or on their writing and characters and such.

another similar thing is reblog chains to the effect of 'reblog this if you actually like following me/seeing me on the dash.' i really don't like these. there's a level of self-deprecation and guilt-tripping involved and when people already feel awfully low and vulnerable to negative self image this just makes it worse. especially when people post with side commentary like 'oh nobody will reblog this from me lol.' and i don't think they're always necessarily aware that this is manipulative behavior, but...it is. even just the way the source post is typically phrased, it preys on insecurity and it makes me sad when i do see mutuals reblogging posts written like this because then i'm like. just sitting there thinking "i'm not a spambot so...if i didn't like following you or seeing you on my dash i would not be following you??"

other forms of reblog chains like 'reblog to give the person you're reblogging from a hug' or 'reblog this and say something nice about the person you reblogged from' are far better in my opinion because they don't inherently contain that same level of insecurity. they put the focus on lifting up and supporting the person you're reblogging from instead of centering on yourself.

plots or memes: i like both but i am very much a memes person because i feel like i'm not very good at plotting.

long or short replies: i don't really have a preference! but lately my thing generally seems to be letting the length creep up so my replies just get longer and longer over time. i never expect anyone to match me, but like. the one thing that would crush my soul is me posting like. 5-7 paragraphs and getting back a one sentence or one word response 😭

are you like your muses: i have a few things in common with caleb, one of them being that we're both neurodivergent and just trying to exist in a society where it is typically seen as undesirable to be classed as such. i stumbled across a venn diagram a while back comparing and contrasting common traits associated with ptsd and autism and it has given me a lot to take into consideration in the way that i portray caleb

Headcanons to go with the Goes Wrong AU I devised because they won't let me sleep.

-Caleb is a very beleaguered high school theater/drama teacher. He loves theater, he wants to help foster that love in his students. However his classroom and stage appear to be cursed as NOTHING ever seems to go right. (Perhaps the students are cursed?)

-For students we have JatP characters (Julie, Reggie, Flynn, Luke, Carrie, Nick, Alex, Willie, Kayla) alongside Goes Wrong Show characters (Vanessa, Dennis, Max, Sandra, Annie, Trevor, Chris, Robert, and Jonathon)

-Max and Reggie work extremely well together, unfortunately they are both not allowed to be the only two on Stage after they completley derailed what was meant to be a simple production of 3 Little Pigs for a bunch of preschoolers and kindergarteners.

-Trevor and Willie take turns being stage managers after Annie discovers her love for acting. Although they work best together balancing each other out.

-No one can tell if Carrie and Sandra loathe each other or are the best of friends. This only gets worse if one of them gets a leading role or heaven forbid neither gets a leading role.

-Chris, Carrie, Flynn, Sandra, Robert, Kayla, Annie, and Jonathon all joined because they loved acting/theatre.

-Luke, Reggie, Nick, Trevor, Alex, Max, Dennis, Willie, and Vanessa all joined because they needed the credit. (At least that's the excuse some of them give. Truthfully only Nick, Trevor, Vanessa, and Alex need the credit. Luke, Reggie, and Max followed specific people into the program. Dennis and Willie were sort of pushed into it to by their guardians.)

-Julie originally joined for a single play and vows never again after the hot mic incident. Annie and Flynn manage to talk her into giving the program another chance.

-Trevor, Vanessa, Annie, Willie, Alex, Dennis, Luke, and Nick were not at all pleased to learn that they couldn't stick to being solely on the crew and in fact (since it is a high school thetre program) were required to at least audition.

-Luke, Nick, and Annie discover they actually liked acting more than they thought they would.

-Trevor, Willie, Alex, and Vanessa will begrudgingly take a small role if they must.

-Dennis really wishes he'd stop being given roles. He can't remember his lines (despite Julie and Annie's help) and his stage fright does not seem to be improving.

-Though they have a storage space for storing costumes and props to be reused from various shows, very few props and costumes are actually saved. A combination of props/costumes accidentally being destroyed and in some cases purposefully destroyed(Carrie, Sandra, Flynn, and Alex stand by this decision as they are certain those particular props and costumes were in fact cursed) prevent Caleb from being able to reuse most props and costumes.
