A Jacob Custos x Male Reader request where Jacob finds a spider in the cabins and freaks out and has to get Reader, who's a big spider lover, to remove it

a/n;; this is ironic!! (i have arachnophobia)

the quarry jacob custos x male reader

Jacob was getting some volleyballs from the storage room, getting ready to do an activity with the kids. He went to grab the volleyball net until he saw a brown spider. He screamed at the top of his lungs, scared like if he just saw a corpse. He ran out of the room, panting as he grabbed the walkie talkie that was sitting comfortable on the waist band of his pants and called out

— "Hey Y/N can you please come quickly to the sport room thing?" "Yeah, coming." You'd reply already rolling your eyes. You arrived there and saw Jacob bent over, panting as he pointed towards the room. "There's a big, brown spider on the net, please get it out." You'd sigh and started to walk over to the room before you stopped and looked back at him. "A brown one?" You asked as he nodded. You smiled excitedly before running out to get a cup and some paper before coming back.

— "Did you know that the brown spiders are actually very very poisonous? They also originate from Brazil, there isn't supposed to be one here but I'll get it out." You said as you walked in, searching for the spider "Yeah Yeah Peter Parker just go get it." He would say as you found it ontop of a shelf. You carefully put the glass cup ontop of it, capturing it. You slid the paper underneath smiling. "I'll keep this lil fella, maybe I can get Chris to buy a cage for them." You replied, coming out with the spider basically on your hand. Jacob looked at your hand before falling onto the floor, presumably passed out. You stared at him with a smile before walking away with it.

hypothetically chris could've locked himself in the cellar again and gave the kids his car

[embraceyourdestiny]

I love that you can tell Ryan is one of the only people who actually listened in on the safety meetings and classes they got as counselors

Scribbled camp counselor Megan again

@kassiekole22 @delurkr @tatjana-fantasy @ctrvpani @qusok @unhingedlesbear @blubary

[ghostradiodylan]

This is from last summer but I’m newish to the fandom and hadn’t seen it and I thought it was kind of cool to see the counselors ranked based on how good someone familiar with camp thought they’d be as actual counselors! I think Nick should be a little higher given the rope course pee pants incident he apparently handled quite gracefully and Max was left off, I assume because he’s barely playable, but should be in the upper half because he’d have all the kids saying stupid shit like “son of a binky bonky” in no time, but otherwise the reasoning seems sound.

8) Emma Mountebank

If you’ve finished The Quarry, you might be surprised to see Emma taking the bottom spot. There’s another person (who’s coming up very soon) who many would probably assume is the worst counselor of the bunch, but I actually think it’s Emma. The first clue is how much she’s on her phone the second she gets it back from the director Chris Hackett. Now, being on your phone isn’t anything new for directors to deal with. In fact, it might even be the biggest issue most directors have if they have a no-phone policy.

The issue with Emma is that she seems even more obsessed with it and her image than most normal teens. That hints to me that she’s a very self-absorbed counselor who is probably just here because she thinks it’d be fun or look good on a resume. If the game had said Emma had come to Hackett’s Quarry as a camper, I wouldn’t be surprised. You see that a lot where campers think counselors are cool so they want to be one when they get older — even if they have no desire to work with kids. Then, they just buy several sets of skorts and hang out by the tennis court all day without actually teaching anyone to play tennis. Not that that scenario has ever happened to me or anything.

These are the worst counselors. They never want to do anything and are just waiting for their next off day so they can get away from the campers. Emma tops it off by basically confirming she’s been sneaking off with Jacob all summer. I wouldn’t knock anybody too much for that. I mean, that’s how I met my wife, so I’m not going to throw much shade, but it adds up and gets her the bottom spot on my list.

7) Jacob Custos

This is probably who most people were expecting to see at the very bottom. Jacob is always hanging out with Emma, oversells his own abilities, is incredibly reckless, and is kind of an idiot. I mean, the dude pointed a loaded gun at his fellow counselors. That’s probably enough to get sent home at most camps if you’re doing that around kids.

However, we don’t see Jacob around kids and there are some hints that he could at least be the “cool counselor.” Notice, I didn’t say good, but Jacob proves several times that he’s always down to have a good time. With the right guidance, you can use someone like that to pump up kids ahead of games or pull a kid out of a bad case of homesickness.

That doesn’t make him a good counselor, but I definitely can see a world where Jacob could at least make it to mediocre. I’m not sure if I see that same potential for Emma. If nothing else, I would absolutely be getting him on the stage to do the Peanut Butter Pops song to call in campers for snack time at least once a session.

6) Nick Furcillo

Because we just don’t see much from him Nick has to rank low on this list. We do witness him being a consummate wingman for the other male counselors, which can be a good thing. If you pair him with someone like Jacob in a cabin, he can balance out that puppy dog energy and make sure kids aren’t using sunscreen for shampoo (yes, that actually happened).

Nick is firmly in the solid category of counselors, at least based on what we see. He could very well be the best of the lot, but his story doesn’t give us much time to learn about him. Though, I shouldn’t end without mentioning that his accent will definitely be a conversation starter for campers if my experience tells me anything. Just slap on that Aussie charm and at least half the camp is going to automatically think you’re the coolest dude there.

5) Abigail Blyg

Is Abigail a bad counselor? Probably not. However, we learn early in the game that she essentially doesn’t leave the art room. Some camps have counselors with specific jobs, but I’d prefer someone who’s willing to move around a bit. Even if you absolutely love the arts (or theater or sports), not doing anything else is going to make for a boring summer. If you’re getting bored, just imagine how the campers feel.

Sure, being in the air conditioning all summer is great, but the best counselors really put themselves out there and try just as many new things as the kids they’re working with. Live a little, Abi!

That said, we also see Abi being the most sensitive member of the bunch. Being more in touch with your feelings can make you an exceptional counselor if you’re paired with someone that’s a little more assertive in the cabin. I’d put Abi with someone like Kaitlyn in my youngest girl’s cabin and be pretty confident they’ll be in great hands. Abi simply ranks a little lower because she doesn’t seem as versatile as some of the other counselors and could turn into a pushover if partnered with older campers.

4) Ryan Erzahler

Ryan seems like a great counselor on the surface. Chris seems to trust him as his number one guy in the trenches and he’s usually taking charge in high-pressure situations. We also know that he’s a veteran camper, which can come in handy, especially when werewolves are stalking the camp, looking for their next bite to eat.

The issue is that Ryan seems to misuse the trust Chris gives him. Not only did he sneak his phone into his cabin (a huge no-no in the camping world), but he’s also telling ghost stories to young campers. He knows that Chris will always have his back and appears to be using that in this favor, which is never a good look for a veteran counselor. Yes, you’ve been there before, but when you start getting too comfortable, you start making mistakes.

Ryan also is a bit of a loner. We’ve got nothing against dudes who love the undead, and not every counselor needs to be as in your face as Jacob, but we need some more pep in that step, Ry-guy. I’m not expecting you to run into the mess hall singing for breakfast because I’d never ask anyone to do something I won’t. We just need some energy in that voice when we’re hanging out with campers. Some days you have to convince them they’re having fun and Ryan couldn’t do that even if they’re going to Disney World with that monotone voice.

3) Laura Kearney

Laura is probably the toughest to place. That makes a lot of sense considering she never actually came to camp for the summer. Instead, she was dealing with werewolf-adjacent things that we won’t spoil here.

What we do see is someone that’s resourceful, willing to do the dirty work, and works well with others. We also know she was set to be the nurse assistant (which isn’t something I’ve ever seen a counselor do, but every camp is different). Considering how well she handled a certain slashing during her story, we think she can probably tolerate any scrape or bruise a camper can throw at her without much problem.

Unfortunately, we don’t see enough of Laura interacting with her co-counselors to place her any higher. She might be the best counselor of the bunch, but those pesky werewolves kept us from coming to that conclusion. At the very least, we’re wholly confident that she can take care of any snake or raccoon problems the camp might run into.

2) Dylan Lenivy

Even as I made this list, Dylan’s placement surprised me. He’s kind of an idiot who’s always looking for the next quip and calls emergency services “ninety-one-one.” Can you trust someone like that? It also doesn’t seem like Dylan really believes in his director, which probably isn’t the best thing for a young counselor and, like most of these counselors, has quite the vulgar vocabulary.

However, Dylan is legitimately funny at times and kids tend to appreciate the effort even if you aren’t that funny. In fact, they tend to laugh at a lot more bad jokes than most adults I know if your delivery is on point. Plus, we see Dylan taking real initiative as both a camper and counselor in setting up and keeping the camp radio running.

That’s huge for a director. If you have someone you can trust to take something off your plate, you might well treat them as valuable as a silver bullet. Dylan might not be the best of the bunch in terms of interpersonal relationships, but he’s an asset that I’d love to see on the first day of a new summer. I just hope his taste in music is better than some of those “jokes.”

1) Kaitlyn Ka

Kaitlyn is easily the best counselor out of this bunch. She is the definition of leadership material. From the jump we see Kaitlyn taking her role at camp seriously. The majority of camp injuries happen when the counselors let their guards down and are hanging out without the campers. Even with everyone gone, Kaitlyn still maintains range discipline during Jacob and Nick’s shoot-off. She still has a good time, but lives by a director’s favorite rule: “safety never takes a holiday.”

We also know that she took over Laura’s role as the nurse assistant when Laura didn’t show up. Like Dylan, I want people on our staff that take initiative and solve problems for us. Missing two counselors for an entire summer is going to have a huge impact. If you have someone like Kaitlyn who can step up and fill that role (while still keeping up with her own responsibilities), that’s somebody you want to hold onto.

All I’m saying is that if Chris makes it through the night and isn’t calling Kaitlyn to ask her to be his assistant director next year, something’s wrong. Heck, seeing as how Chris put his entire group of campers and staff at major risk for like six years, maybe the Hackett family should just give Kaitlyn the director position at this point. At the very least, she isn’t going to be getting anyone mauled by supernatural beasts if they stick around for an extra day at their favorite summer destination.

Emma Mountebank

Girl, you’re such a backstabber ⬅️ Link

Preview ⤵️

God she loved you.

Emma was always the confident popular counselor at Hacketts Quarry yet that never was enough to catch your attention.

All she wanted was for you to notice her but she went too far this time.

After all the campers left after the summer program was over, you, Emma, and the other counselors sat by the fire partying and playing truth or dare.

Emma was dared to kiss one of the other counselors, she could have chose anyone.

She could’ve chosen Jacob who sat up proudly thinking she was gonna choose him to kiss.

She could’ve chose you but she was scared she wouldn’t be able to stop after one kiss.

She could’ve chosen Ryan, Dylan, Abby, or Kaitlyn but instead she chose the one person she knew was off limits: Nick.

Abby had a crush on Nick for the whole summer and Emma knew that yet she chose to kiss her best friend’s crush.

You gasp when Emma sits on Nick’s lap and starts making out with him, you sitting next to Abby whose eyes are wide with horror.

Emma didn’t even like Nick but she wanted to make you jealous, hurting Abby in the process.

It's missing tq time boys

[xwitchycraftx]

Welcome to Hacketts Quarry! Meet your camp counselors this summer!

Denali

Her capability to be a ray of sunshine around campers make her a popular camp counselor. Her athleticism, intelligence, and ability to sympathize with people makes it impossible for people to hate her. She's quick to jump to action in dangerous situations and never fails to put others first. However it's easy for someone as loving as Denali to get their heartbroken.

Kaitlyn

She likes to have fun while still looking out for her fellow Hacketteers. While embracing the idea of saying what's on her mind, she's not afraid to stir the pot. No matter the situation she has no issue taking the lead. Especially when it means the people she cares about are in trouble.

Abi

Despite her shy personality and tendency to hide in her sketchbook, Abi tends to have alot on her mind. Her love for observing nature and putting her ideas to paper often gain her praise from her peers. Her passion for artwork helps her pay attention to detail, providing her with a caution that can be extremely helpful in desperate times.

Ryan

Leaning towards the "brooding sexy loner" type, Ryan can definitely be the shy type, very few people seeing past his quiet persona. It just depends on who is goinbe the person who can get him to express himself more and be more open. Under his sarcastic remarks and seemingly emotionless personality lies a hero ready to defend anyone.

Nick

He's the type of jock that you wish existed more in life. He's handsome, generous, nerdy, and just the right amount of athleticism that has a lot people swoon over him. His worst trait however is letting his guard down and selflessness.

Jacob

Despite his tendency to come off as self centered and impulsive, Jacob is here to make sure everyone has a good time. Even though he's your stereotypical jock, deep down is someone who cares for his fellow counselors. Especially Emma.

Emma

Her love for social media and putting herself out there can be misleading at first. Having the appearance of a mean pretty popular girl, Emma is quite the opposite. As a intelligent and talented woman, Emma has no issue striking up conversation. She's here to be a friend to everyone and put a smile on all the campers faces.

Dylan

To some people he's just the guy who does the daily broadcast but he's really just a dork. Everyone loves an oddball. With his growing knowledge of music and humor, everything about him is lovable. However it's common for him to hide behind humor and behind his mask lies a person terrified of rejection.

Rosé

Similar to Emma, Rosé tends to seem like a popular girl who has no issue ruining your life. But behind her good looks and intimidating stare, lies a selfless and loving human being. The only reason she decided to be a camp counselor and spend summer at Hacketts Quarry was for the sole purpose of being around a certain counselor.

Now remember Hacketteers.....

This journey isn't for the faint of heart but remember

[queenofbaws]

“Where’s the rotor arm?” Jacob looks up from the bench to see Mr. H’s kid standing before him. His palms are sweating as he tries to answer. Shit, why him? He could handle Kaitlyn being pissed, but this guy?

“I-I don’t know. I don’t know shit about cars, man. I almost fucking died–” The older boy rests a firm hand on his shoulder, digging his sharp nails in as he lowers himself to maintain eye contact and repeats the question.

It had been something of a joke between the Hacketteers over the past couple months, how reclusive the Hackett kids were; it didn't seem half as funny now as it would've been any other day of the summer, not when each passing second prickled some new neuron in his lizard brain, a small and panicked voice in the very back of Jacob's head asking if Caleb's eyes had always been that color, if he's always been a walking, talking, space heater.

"I already told you," Jacob said stiffly - now very sure he'd been taller than Caleb the last time they'd been face to face - trying to roll his shoulder out of his grip, "I don't know where it is."

"Don't know where wha - oh, uh...hey." There was a quiet splash as Emma hoisted herself up out of the water and onto the dock, followed by a not-so-quiet clearing of her throat and an apprehensive, "Everything okay here, fellas?" as she folded her arms across her chest to cover herself.

Caleb didn't even turn to look, repeating himself like he didn't trust himself to go off-script: "Everything will be fine when we find the rotor arm and all of you are driving home."

"Aw hell, leave 'em be, Caleb," came another voice from the boathouse, so sudden that Jacob and Emma both all but leapt out of their skins...and there was Kaylee, pleased as punch, her smile distinctly unfriendly as she continued, "I skipped supper, after all."

six sentence sat(or)sunday!!!

Ok so, you know that very popular trend from a while ago when people said that your soulmate was born 139 days after you?! 

December 5th is exactly 139 days from July 19th.

Which means 

They ARE soulmates!!!

I don't know whose idea it was to do this at Supermassive Games, or if it was even intentional (it can't just be a coincidence, they know what they were doing); but I just love them so much for that!!!

the quarry jacob custos x camp counselor male reader

“ Jock Wrestle ”

You and Jacob were always competing over something, wether it was over who can eat faster, who can run faster, who can punch the hardest, anything, anywhere and anytime. This time it was on the cabins since Jacob forgot to get a hoodie on what you thought could've been the coldest day on camp.

— "can you hurry up dude? i wanna go do something else." you said, already bored of waiting while the other scattered his belongings around the wooden bunk bed. "just- just give me a second m/n" he replied with a hint of annoyance. "i could've done like 10 other things while we wait here." you complained while Jacob rolled his eyes. "yeah okay, like what hmm?" he replied looking up at you with a small smile creeping up his cheeks while he tried to maintain his natural expression. "like for example, I could've played dodgeball with the campers, probably take a swim to the island and back, won like 10 fights." he chuckled "fights? ha! yeah okay bro, no need to lie." he said, teasing you in a friendly matter. "you asshole!" you would say chuckling as you decided to tackle him down to prove a point.

"get off man!" jacob would say with a smile on his face as he laid down on the floor, rolling both of you so he was ontop now. "ive got the high ground now, what are you gonna do?" the jock replied with a laugh while you punched his gut, making him get off you groaning. "ow dude! fuck!" he would say, holding his new found wound. "told you im strong" you replied giggling while you looked at the other, sharing eye contact with your friend, feeling a special type of warmth as you two were close togheter. "yeah, I get it now." jacob said, complementing you with that same smile on his face but you could resist laughing a bit, trying to cover up your incoming blush.

probably talked abt it or mentioned it on the drawing back then but some things abt Dylan getting Schrodinger in the western au:

was thinking he's out doing tasks for the day, possibly get info for jobs, going around town, getting supplies etc. he steps out of one of the general stores by a near by town, w food and other supplies for him and the rest of the gang, when he see's a poor lil cat near by wandering alone, possibly hungry.

Dylan being Dylan he automatically goes over to the cat, he's a bit dirty but he's very friendly and sweet especially w strangers, Dylan's already in love w the fuzzy guy and totally distracted from the task he's even supposed to be doing lolol he spends a lot of time sitting near him and petting him, even giving him some canned fish as a treat.

some time later Dyl realized how much time he wasted just spending time in town playing and feeding his new friend, hurrying off to get to his horse and not get distracted even more, he looks back to the little feline sitting looking at him patiently before hopping up on the saddle. as dramatic as it sounds, he couldn't turn away from him after looking at him in the eyes, he felt like his heart would shatter if he abandoned his new friend, so ofc Dylan scoops him up and rides back to camp, carefully as he can, w his new best friend and pet Schrodinger 💕

and ofc, since Dylan founded him and took him in, plus bonding w him, he takes the most responsibility to look out and care for him. Schrodinger also stays/sleeps in Dylan's room but he still roams around freely elsewhere in camp. Schrodinger is also like a huge support to Dylan bc I hc he gets him after losing his hand (in the au) so having a lil friend by his side helps him a lot 💖

Steddie Upside-down AU Part 17

Part 1 Part 16

Let it be known that Eddie Munson is not a morning person, presuming it’s morning at all. And with the bags under Will and Steve’s eyes, Eddie’s doubtful. He doesn’t look in the mirror to check his own. If King Steve Harrington looks this ragged even with his genetic lottery, Eddie doesn’t want to know what he looks like.

He wants to brush his teeth, but when he opened the toothpaste, it was a rusty-looking brown color. He wants a shower, but none of the pipes work, and their quarry water is a precious commodity. Hell, he wants a hot cup of coffee, and he doesn’t even like coffee.

It'd probably turn to acid once it hit his gut, though. Hunger’s gnawing at him in a way it hasn’t for years. When the fridge would be empty for days. When he wished for school days, so he could take his little blue slip up to the lunch line and get a meal for free, never mind that all the other kids gave him a wide berth for it.

It's messing with his head to have that same, gnawing feeling in this place where Wayne makes breakfast in the mornings after he gets off a shift. Where there’s always food in the fridge, no matter how lean money is. Where someone cares enough to stock it.

So, no. Eddie Munson is not a morning person, and he’s going to strangle Steve Harrington if he keeps corralling Eddie like a wayward child as they pack up their supplies for the trek to Mama Byers’s house.

“Just help me sort the first aid supplies, and then we’ll be done,” Steve says, riffling through their stolen loot where he’s strewn it out across the kitchen counter.

Eddie groans, pinching the bridge of his nose, letting the weight of his elbow settle into Steve’s shoulder. Regrettably, it’s the bad one.

“Ow, fuck,” he groans, shrugging out from beneath Eddie’s arm.

“Shit, sorry big boy,” Eddie says, fluttering his fingers toward Steve’s injured shoulder like he can magic it all better.

“Are you hurt?” Will asks quietly from where he’s once again hovering at the threshold.

They both jump, trading guilty looks at the omission caught so quickly. “Just a scratch on my shoulder,” Steve replies, like a liar.

Will nods but doesn’t seem to believe them. The kid’s clearly too smart for his own good.

“Should we go?” Eddie asks brightly, clapping his hands like he’s a camp counselor leading a nature expedition and not corralling a middle schooler and a peer he still totally hates, he swears, out into a hellscape.

Steve rolls his eyes, but dutifully swipes it all back into his pack after a cursory look.

Steve and Will follow him out of the trailer like ducklings, Eddie in the lead, and Steve maintaining the rear, keeping Will sandwiched in the middle in silent agreement.

They keep quiet. Eddie’s eyes skitter wildly about, and when he glances back, Steve is clutching the shotgun tightly. Clearly, he’s not the only one more on edge with a kid to keep alive now. In contrast, Will looks excited.

Eddie doesn’t know which is worse, that the kid trusts them that much to keep him safe, or that he’s so excited to talk to Mama Byers that he’s not fussed about the rest of it.

Eddie remembers the general direction of the Byers’ house. It’s a small town – there’s only so many places for people to live, but he still has to ask Will for directions a few times. Will tells him where to turn, both speaking quietly enough that Harrington only twitches a little in alarm from behind them.

Only once does Steve stop, the sound of him raising the shotgun the only indication Eddie receives that he’s stopped at all. His heart kicks up as he whirls around to see Steve standing, gun trained into the woods, like fucking always. It takes endless moments before Steve lowers his gun again, waving them along.

No one talks after that. Eddie looks at Will, and Will points. It works well enough.

The Byers house is a single level, short and small, but it’s got a front porch with chairs on it, and laundry on a clothesline. It would look homey without vines. And the sky. And the ash. And the everything about this place.

Still, they file through the unlocked front door. Eddie can almost feel the smack Uncle Wayne would land on his head for going into someone else’s house first, uninvited, but there’s no way he’s letting Will go first into a place the Demogorgon had been less than twenty-four hours before.

It's silent inside. Will pushes past him, rushing into the house and taking a left. Eddie and Steve follow, Steve still clutching the gun. They find him in a small, outdated kitchen. He’s picked up the phone.

“Mom?” he says. His voice breaks, and Eddie wants to grab him and hide him in Steve’s closet for the rest of the day. “Mom?”

They stand in silence for a minute, ears straining for the smallest sound. “Anything?” Steve asks, brow furrowed.

Will doesn’t answer, just presses the phone to his ear harder. “Mom?” His voice sounds wet. Eddie’s going to fucking murder Joyce Byers. “Mom, please.”

“Maybe we can try in a few minutes?” Eddie asks, reaching out to squeeze his shoulder.

Will puts the phone back into the receiver like it weighs a thousand pounds. “What if the Demogorgon got her?”

Scratch the murder threats, Munson. “She’s probably just out,” he says.

Will finally turns around, slowly. Reluctantly. His face is streaked with tears already. Eddie doesn’t fight the urge to wipe them off. His hands leave grimy streaks though, so he switches to the sleeve of his shirt.

Behind him, Steve is pacing down the hall, muttering quietly under his breath. He’s not concerned until the movement abruptly stops.

“Steve?” Eddie calls, still cradling Will’s face.

His steps start again, slow, and purposeful. “Come see this,” he says. He doesn’t sound scared. Shocked, maybe even awed, but not scared.

Eddie pats Will’s cheek before turning and making his way out of the kitchen. Steve Harrington is haloed in light. It’s white, and fluttering, and following every step he takes. He looks like a fallen angel – bloody and grimy, but heavenly still.

Eddie almost asks, “are you an angel?” because if there are monsters, then why not something good? But he doesn’t. Because as soon as he steps past the threshold, there’s a light above him. Holy. Beautiful.

“What is this?” Eddie asks.

“I don’t know,” Steve says, smiling up at the light hanging over him. Steve Harrington is entranced by the lights and Eddie Munson can’t take his eyes off him.

Will steps beside him, and lets out a little, “oh.” When Eddie glances his way, he’s not looking at the lights either. Eddie can’t blame him.

“Do you think it’s dangerous?” Steve asks, still too focused on the beauty of it to sound worried.

“It’s just—” Will starts. But he’s interrupted.

The voice sounds distorted, but not like the Demogorgon’s. It’s more like the sound is coming from far away. Like Nancy Wheeler’s voice. Like her friend’s.

“Will?” it calls. “Will, are you here?”

Well, looks like it’s time to meet Mama Byers. Eddie can’t wait.

Part 18
