#Splendor Man

[mythiclys]

Day 21 - Splendorman! :D

He's so joyous and whimiscal! I like him a ton honestly, its a nice break from all the *Dark and edginess* this month has been with Creepypastas. Heheheh. 9 days to go!

Decided to try a quicker but different colouring technique, I actually really like it. Good for quick arts :) Especially with the background blending in, it feels unique and adds character. I may use this sometimes in the future.

Slender Man: "Has anything ⦻f interest happened t⦻ y⦻u since last we sp⦻ke, br⦻ther?"

Splendor Man: "Today BEN came into my room crying. I asked him what happened and he said that Sally put 80 cows in his Minecraft server while he was offline and that it was "entirely too many cows" and honestly I don’t know how to parent any of this."

(This was inspired by this tweet)

Splendor Mansion Head Cannons.

Splendor used to share Slendy's mansion, separating it into West and East wings respectively. However after a not so friendly incident in the 80's involving laughing jack and Jill, Splendor chose to move himself and his proxies/helpers to a mansion he built himself.

Speaking of the proxies/helpers.. The reason why he 'collects people' so to speak is because he feels the need to give people who usually don't quite fit in a soft place to land.

Splendor's mark so to speak, takes form of multicolor polka dots in a straight line wrapping around usually one's wrists, waist, ankles, or neck.

He also uses his Proxies/Helpers to send out on missions to go fetch him a magical artifact or two. Usually something particularly dangerous which he doesn't want falling in the wrong hands. This usually causes his Proxies to step on Slender's proxies toes quite a bit.

Anyways onto the house itself. I believe that the respective mansions can travel to wherever Slender or Splendor wants them to be. Splendor rather likes parking his house on the west coast in red wood forests or beside Rocky beaches.

Splendor's mansion itself is rather hard to find if you don't know what your looking for. Basically, if you actively look for it, you'll be lead in circles, but if you could care less, congrats you found it!!

The mansion itself has colorful walls of neon and pastel hues with various plants scattered about.

Splendor asks every new person in the mansion what their preferred decorating style is. And by the end of the initiation dinner, they'll have a whole bedroom styled to their personal taste.

^ because of this, many ghosts inhabiting the mansion get very disoriented when phasing through walls.

Due to the mostly pacifist nature of the residents in splendor mansion, most of the food made is vegan or at the very least vegetarian. Although for the residents who choose to eat meat/animal products there is a separate fridge for them.

There's a chicken coup in the front yard, where in which one particular black silkie rooster is named Jeff.

Has a walk in fridge mostly dedicated to ice cream, sherbet, and popsicles.

The pantry is always fully stocked with every comfort food imaginable.

Splendor's mansion has a lot of natural light coming in the form of, a ridiculous amount of stain glass windows that are downright impressive, various skylights on the second floor, floor to ceiling windows, two different sun rooms, and while not attached to the mansion a very big greenhouse.

The mansion regularly smells like freshly baked bread, desserts, and pastries.

I feel like the decor room by room is from completely different decades, but all goes together because it's so colorful.

Like the kitchen looks like a kitchen from a 2000s sitcom. With those themed kitchen appliances sprinkled in, like a hello kitty beldner, coca cola microwave, a my little pony waffle maker, and toy story pizza maker.

Meanwhile the main living area is very Victorian. (They even have a radioactive clock!)

And the hallways kinda look straight out of a weirdcore Pinterest board.

Has first aid kits in every bathroom. (For obvious reasons lol)

Does Sally ever get lonely, being the only kid at the Mansion and all?

Sally

Sally isn’t completely lonely.

Splendor, being her main guardian, will make sure she always gets proper social interaction for a child her age.

She’ll have playdates with other children, some are ghosts like her, some are humans, and some are other species in the Underrealm.

She has tea parties, game nights, days out at the park and restaurants, and whatever else Splendor is comfortable spoiling her with that day!

Other days she enjoys spending time by herself, on any game system that’s been handed down to her.

This carries over to her (non-related) older siblings in the manor, egging Tim to have tea parties and Ben to play Roblox with her.

And while she does feel singled out sometimes, she always finds someone to talk to or something to entertain herself with, even if they’re not the same age as her.

Many of the creeps are young spirited, take Toby for example. He will happily bring her along to get slurpees at 7-11 or take her along to an arcade with Ben.

Everyone is always welcoming and happy toward her whenever she approaches.

And sometimes she’s invited on some daily adventures!

Elliot angst bc you deserve it (and Ciero, if consider brief mentions as a main tag)

Elliot, before he died, struggled quite a bit with depression and anxiety. He always liked relying on his twin sister to cheer him up, if only a little bit—and he always enjoyed and made sure to keep the memories he made with her whenever they’d go to the library or the town together close to his heart.

When Steven was disowned; dead to the entire family, everything with Elliot got so much worse. <u>(1)</u>Not even his sister could cheer him up, everything lost it’s meaning; not even the dearest memories he had with his sister made any difference to anything.

He was so caught up in work, his fathers legacy bruising his shoulders and bending his spine—the memories of what he once enjoyed, his hobbies, food, activities, everything were distant, unable to be reached.

<u>(2)</u>Elliot was slowly becoming a husk; he didn’t know who he was, he didn’t know who Elliot Windroe truly was. He had no taste, if he had a favourite food, it tasted of nothing, which led him down a dark hole of not doing anything but work.

Maybe, if he lived up to his fathers standards; his legacy, he’d know who he was. But instead, it got worse. <u>(3)</u>With constant flares of his illnesses, he was quickly becoming overwhelmed, and one day, it was simply too much.

Too, too much.

And so, with a shotgun, loss of self identity, and free will, he decided to die in his own way.

—

<u>(1)</u>This is also the same idea I have for Ciero, especially in his breakdown arc. (2)Just the idea of being so broken by everything that’s happened to him, most brought on by his own selfish need to help people (the idea of making other people happy for his own gain of potential/temporary happiness) and selfless way of going about it (sacrificing himself for others happiness) (this would also include Rom!Alice), that he has no idea who he is anymore, and nothing means anything.

<u>(2)</u>Also, I feel like Ciero would also suffer with losing taste due to depression. I think he’d lose it quite quickly, possibly after a few cases as a social worker or after everything with Alice. Which could possibly cause him to stop eating, but I don’t know.

A lot of his personality before the breakdown is fake and he only ever stopped using the fake personality after he knew that everyone knew.

<u>(3) Elliot’s illnesses:</u> - Anaemia - Gastroparesis - Anxiety - Depression - Asthma - Unilateral renal hypoplasia - Ehlers-danlos syndrome - PoTS - Autism (and an array of allergies (garlic, peanuts, citrus, feathers, pollen, dust))

<u>Ciero’s Illnesses:</u> - Autism, - PTSD&Agoraphobia - CRPS - Ehlers-danlos syndrome - Gastroparesis

...wow

This really hit me.

Yall are trying to murder me with the big sad before 10 o'clock at night. (/j)

I'm never getting over Emmrich's face here, just after Rook has flirted with him over a dead body. This is a man who has dreamed of love, has yearned for it for years and never truly expected to find it at his age

I think it's very telling how in the garden date he says it's been years since he's had company, not that it's been years since he's been in a relationship. My guess is he's mostly had very discreet liaisons with fellow Mourn Watchers over the years, maybe the occasional noble when he's helped with their problems. But that he has very limited experience with actual relationships (because of his first partner, Hezenkoss, a hill I will die on)

And then Rook

At first, I'm sure he brushed it off. I have to imagine that flirting with Professor Volkarin is a rite of passage for young students of necromancy, which would explain how he didn't miss a beat the first time Rook flirts with him

But then Rook keeps showing up. And keeps flirting. Rook compliments his necromancy, his looks, his kindness, all things that are important to him as a person. (We know he's a bit vain. A gentleman is never without a brush and a razor, after all)

This, I think, is the moment that he actually lets himself hope. That he starts to wonder 'what if?' And eventually, those hopes will lead him to a love that he could have only imagined in his dreams

This nearly made me cry at some points. I can't get into my thoughts on it right now, but I love this.

Super Sad! Ciero AU

this AU isn't as good as tbstashteb au, but by fuck is it angsty.

@eldritch-hall-asylum I know you're not interested in it, but eh. Do what you want with this.

TW // suicide attempt, mention of self-harm, mention of alcoholism, mention of overdose (on pain meds, not like drug-drugs) mention of disordered eating, mentioned trauma

After Ciero’s initial breakdown and months spent in the psych ward, they were allowed back home and cleared to work again. After a long and serious conversation with her family, she decided that, despite everything, she was working as a social worker again. 

He loves his job, he loves making a difference, and it means the absolute world to him. 

But, despite it being his dream job, every day at work is like hell.

It’s okay, though, because they’re helping people, getting children out of horribly abusive places, and helping parents get back on the right track. It's worth coming home with a fresh black eye; a broken, bloody nose; or a mark on their neck from being choked. 

It’s worth seeing even more dead bodies and being threatened with death.

And just like last time, she hides it with a bright smile and empty promises to tell people when it starts getting bad.

There’s so much stress and significant trauma going on in their life that eating is more of a chore than it ever was—there’d be times when Ciero wouldn’t eat for days because they were just so stressed.

The panic attacks and flashbacks he was experiencing before were minor compared to the ones he was having late at night, paralysed with fear, sobbing hysterically, and unable to breathe when struggling to hide his problems from the others.

It’s not long until she’s getting drunk almost every night, sitting on the cold kitchen floor, giggling drunkenly with legs like jelly and a mind full of stuffing. She doesn’t have to think about what she’s seen or experienced.

Eventually, she was suffocating in feelings of helplessness; she’d feel useless and broken. She was constantly in pain, always tired, always upset, and always hurting inside, and no matter how many people she helped, it never went away.

So, she tried to feel it on the outside. Discreetly, of course, so she didn’t alarm people, so long sleeves and trousers or skirt and tights were her go-to.

—

All of this built up until one fateful day when Ciero decided it was their last. 

They had probably the best day at work ever, which was nice. 

When they came home, they already had a plan devised. It wouldn’t take too long to set up and would be easy to carry out.

And so, once Ciero was sure that everyone was asleep he took his bottle of Codeine, a bottle of vodka, a blade, and a boxcutter into the downstairs bathroom. 

First, he carefully taped his note to the mirror and then opened the bottle of vodka, drinking about half before he took his sharp blade and boxcutter and attacked his arms and thighs with cuts and large gashes. 

He was close to passing out at this point and shakily opened the bottle of Codeine, shaking them into his mouth and swallowing them.

Leaning heavily against the wall, black spots began to overtake their vision at uneven intervals, and they felt their breathing get slower, each inhale leaving them begging for more air. They felt vomit rise from their stomach and were forced forward by a strong heave as vomit fell from their lips and they collapsed, unconscious.

They were found later by Jack G, who had gotten up to get some water from the kitchen and heard a crash in the bathroom. When he noticed the bathroom was locked, he got either Zephyr or Octavian (Octavian more likely) to break down the door, where they would then find Ciero’s bloody and mutilated body on the floor.

An ambulance is quickly called as Ciero is moved from the bathroom to the living room, where they can easily assess them.

They noticed their breathing was slow and laboured, their skin was cold and clammy, and despite how hard they were shaken or how loud they said their name, they didn’t respond.

—

When Ciero would later wake up in the hospital, she would be surrounded by worried family. But, most importantly, standing at the foot of the hospital bed was Patrick, who simply stared at her with a loving, yet cold gaze, and said what everyone in the room knew and wanted to say themselves. 

“You’re going to quit social work. It’s done nothing but almost kill you, quit the job.”

There could be a possible visit to the psych ward again, but I don’t know. 

Additional tidbits

In this AU Ferris would appear much later, like after the attempt instead of after the breakdown

Elspeth would definitely worry the most out of the entire family, based on the fact that she lost her twin to suicide and didn’t notice any warning signs for either (Elliot or Ciero)

^ If Ciero had succeeded, she would have most definitely blamed herself.

Because Ciero survives his attempt, there’d definitely be daily check-ins from all of his family members so that they can help when things get bad.

Would probably be diagnosed with BPD a little while after the attempt.
