#Thurburt Mudget Waxstaff III

[aria-greenhoodie]

Time stuck au but it’s Pacifica meeting the Anti-Cipher society. And she is becoming Abigale’s apprentice in engineering.

I thought I DELETED THIS ASK but I DIDNT it was just HIDDEN FOR SOME REASON! anyway this idea has captivated me, I have yet to draw Pac with the whole society (I WILL) but here’s some doodles of her and Abbey!!

Also some extra musings under the cut…..

The Northwests travel to Illinois one holiday. Pacifica takes some time off from her insufferable parents to find someplace worth visiting. Unfortunately, it seems like nothing in Illinois is worth visiting. She eventually finds herself at 333 North East West Drive, a functionally abandoned historical building, “For Rent” sign collecting dust in its windows. Something catches her eye on the ground - what looks to be a normal tape measurer. I say “looks to be,” because it is in fact a TIME tape-measurer, albeit a half-broken one.

Pacifica ends up in 1901 using the half-broken time tape measurer and manages to break it completely. Luckily for her, Abigale finds her and agrees to help fix it… and teach Pacifica some mechanical know-how in the process!

Abigale doesn’t know that she’s Pacifica’s ancestor. Pacifica is pretty certain Abigale Blackwing is Abigale Northwest, but doesn’t say anything because Abigale Northwest was always considered a bit of a stain on the family, half-buried by history. Pacifica doesn’t want to let Abigale know she’s been erased, and honestly, is still a little bought-in to her family’s philosophy of sweeping “unsavory” people or things under the rug at this point.

Pacifica is actually pretty damn good at mechanics! She takes a second to get a hang of it, but once she grasps the basics she learns the rest shockingly quick. Abigale is so proud.

Pacifica actually helps enable some semblance of workshop-safety in the society, what with her modern knowledge that lead, mercury, and arsenic are all deadly toxins that you shouldn’t be putting in “anti-cipher tonic” to guzzle and/or rub on your skin.

The rest of the society LOVE Pacifica. That’s their collective daughter now.

Jessamine teaches her how to shoot! Pacifica isn’t a very good natural aim, but Jessie is patient and knows skill comes with practice.

Horace is so charmed by her, he really takes up a sort of father figure. He would mow down entire countries for this kid. Pacifica doesn’t know how to take Horace at first, since she’s so used to her real dad sucking ass, but she becomes close with him fast!

Thurburt is SO her silly weird uncle. Thurburt was always a clumsy, accident-prone fool, but somehow around Pacifica he becomes even more slapstickly-inclined. Pacifica thinks he’s doing it on purpose to get a laugh out of her. He is. It always works.

Even O’Pimm, the crotchety old drunk that he is, gets a kick out of her! He likes her honesty. If Pac thinks something’s daft or dull, she’ll say it. O’Pimm is glad to not be the ONLY one with sense around the society anymore.

And of course, it goes without saying that Abigale ADORES Pac. Abigale never wanted to be a mother, but teaching Pacifica the ropes of engineering and working her through her problems made her reconsider that thought.

Pacifica actually manages to fix the time tape measurer all on her own one night. It takes 2 weeks for her to finally tell the society. She almost doesn’t want to leave.

Abigale was the one to convince her to go home. “The future needs you, Pacifica. It needs brilliant, talented girls like you. You’ve got people waiting on you, but more than that, you’ve got a whole WORLD waiting for you! Live your life, Pacifica, your story doesn’t end in this time. Promise me you’ll make some change in that future of yours, rather than feel trapped in the past with us…”

Pacifica is a lot different when she returns. She’s suddenly way into tinkering, something she keeps secret from her family. She’s also a lot happier, and a lot less concerned about mistakes (though she’s more worried when her parents are in eye or earshot…)

Pacifica starts to really get interested in the story of Abigale Northwest. She unearths a lot of hidden secrets about her life. Most of it isn’t good, especially now. At least Pacifica knows the truth, now. (I have a VERY specific idea as to how Abbey’s life was after the society disbanded and it is NOT pretty. Link for most of it here)

She wishes Abigale could have had her happy ending. She wonders if she had stayed behind, could she have changed things? She considered using the time tape measurer to go back more times then she’d like to admit. But she made a promise, didn’t she? Her job is here in the future, not stuck in the past…

My stance on how i treat my blorbos ISN'T "I can fix them" "I can make them worse". It's actually "I'll break them and THEN fix them". Like they'll go through the most traumatic, unimaginable horrors ever and they'll get therapy as well as a drinky drink if they were a good sport about the Horrors™. You see i like to see my faves heal,but to see them heal i have to hurt them.

Rant under the cut.

I'm not like other angst writers who are allergic to happiness *looks at my mutuals Aria and Angst*. They just have to go through a horrifically terrible time before having a good time. I literally give all of my faves more baggage than they already have only to fix it soon after pfft. Also i don't like sad endings,i physically cannot write them, because i will Cry. Like what even is the point of making them go through the Horrors if they come out as an unrecognizable husk after?. I break them and i fix them,but other people just break them break them break them break them break them until there's nothing left. Like i get where you're coming from. Becoming totally changed by trauma that there's no coming back is interesting. But like,bruh. Not my cup of tea. K rant over. Thank you for listening to my ted talk.

That minging Thurburt made me make this "account" for the "Internet"..

(I finally made an account for the journalist's husband! :D. It's me @localcanadiancreature62!. I made this for @chaseerr0rcode's Anti Cipher Society side blog thing so i could be with them and @aria-greenhoodie loll).

Text for O'Pimm will be like this and text for me will be like this. This is a rp-ish sideblog and asks as well as interactions are highly encouraged. Talk to the grumpy and embittered priest,he won't be too mean :].

TAGS

#those lunatics (posts about the other Anti Cipherites)

#non drinking activities (things that O'Pimm would reblog if he had a tumblr)

RULES

• This version of O'Pimm ended up in 2024 after he and Thurburt were testing out Abigale's time machine,and thus they'll be staying here until the inventress manages to pinpoint them both. This explains why the priest has homesickness in a way.

• Don't try to fuck the priest. Don't. Only suggestive-mildly explicit things like being shirtless or dirty talk is fine tho.

• I won't immediately get to your ask! /gen. I have more hyperfixations than these victorian gays and the Anti Cipher Society soo don't get mad when i don't receive it lol.

• O'Pimm won't know what the fuck you're talking about if it's anything related to the modern world. Be patient with him.

• There will be a lot of mentions of drinking here as O'Pimm is known to be an alcohol,be warned.

• My version of him is kindaaa mean so i'm sorry if he ends up coming off as too harsh in responses ^^'.

Rival thief group for my Lupin III au

Thurburt Waxstaff the leader of the group. A bit eccentric and seemingly an air head. However underneath the persona Thurburt is surprisingly smart and cunning. Strategic mind of the group.

Tinsley O'Pimm the treasure and artifacts know it all. Whenever there's a backstory for possible supernatural jewels or treasures, he's the go to. Is also the tech support much to everyone's surprise.

Jessamine Gulch the gunslinger and assassin of the group. She usually keeps to herself and can be very serious but beneath the exterior of professionalism, Jessamine can be mischievous though rarely. Is the weapons of the group.

Horace Broadshoulder the muscle of the group. He's in charge of taking down bigger opponents as well as the heavy lifting of treasures and artifacts. Is the unofficial bodyguard of the group.

Backstories

Thurburt was actually raised in a crime ring family. Being from a long line of thieves and crooks, it was only natural that Thurburt took up the mantle of the family business. Was for the longest time not taken seriously because of his whimsical outlook on things. But beneath the whismy, lies the heir to the Waxstaff family crime ring.

Tinsley's downwards towards crime was a situation of all roads to hell are paved with good intentions. Tinsley was a priest who wanted to help those in need. Unfortunately being a priest doesn't make money for things like treatments for sick children or housing for elderly people. So in an attempt to help, Tinsley started dabbling in the world of crime. From hacking pieces of technology and stealing things to sell on the black market. He'd been pretty good with helping those around him. Sadly his intentions would lead to bad blood and a powerful family whom he'd stolen from had found his church. Where they then proceeded to burn it to the ground, taking priceless artifacts and exposing Tinsley's crimes. Shunned and disgraced, the ex priest was forced to wander from place to place. It'd be during this phase that Thurburt found him and recruited him.

Jessamine's criminal history is actually quite similar to Thurburt's. Born and raised in a family of highly skilled assassins, Jessamine was trained from the moment she could hold a gun to shoot and kill others. When she'd gotten older she broke free of her family's business to go her own way. It was during this that she'd meet another assassin who was almost as skilled as her. A man named Fiddleford Mcgucket. The two didn't get along at first but after doing a few assessments together they started to form a partnership. Trusting only each other in their line of work. It was also during this that Jessamine would meet a woman who's insane as well as infuriating. She's never known peace since. Her skills were what made her be recruited.

For Horace, he actually sought of Thurburt's group himself. Hearing about the gang of thieves peeked his interest and before long he began his search. It wouldn't take long to find him and offer his muscles and strengths services to the group. Which Thurburt happily agreed too.

IM FUCKING CRYING. THIS IS LITERALLY SO THEM HELPPPP

The murder-love triangle

(Between Horace, O’Pimm and Thurburt) in a nutshell

[nobodyinparticuler]

Does anyone know if there’s a reason why the news article about the Bill hunters stated before Thurburt Mudget Waxstaff III encountered Bill?

[aria-greenhoodie]

Thinking more about the Anti-Bill society and you know? Fuck it, Abigale Blackwing pants. Don’t care that it was illegal for women to wear pants in her time period. She deserves pants.

Okay but if Abigale and Jessamine are together,

Should Horace and Thurburt get together too???

I’ve been shipping them in secret since I first read Thurburt describe Horace as “the largest man (he’s) ever seen” I’ll be for real… I can make anything yaoi✨✨✨

So I still can’t stop thinking about the Anti-Bill Society as described in The Book of Bill so…. I drew up designs for them. Unfortunately the only ones we actually see the face of is Mr. Waxstaff and Father O’Pimm, and we only have a handful of photos of the others, but I tried my best to make them make sense!

[aria-greenhoodie]

So like don’t judge me on how I’m taking forever reading The Book of Bill but today I just got to the “Anti-Bill Society” part of the book and… why is no one talking about them??? We have an excommunicated alcoholic priest, a giant of a man who seems to have no brain cells, a triggerhappy sharp-shootress who ALSO seems to have no brain cells, and a mad inventress who tests her inventions on herself, all under the leadership of Some Fucking Guy who is cursed to have only the worst possible ideas unless a DEMON TRIANGLE is telling him what to do. These characters are so fascinating and no one talks about them. I wanna come up with designs for them SO BAD. Father Tinsley O'Pimm, Horace Broadshoulder, Jessamine Delilah Gulch, Abigale Blackwing, and of course Thurburt Mudget Waxstaff III, you will live in my head forever.

Abigale Blackwing/Northwest - The Lost History of a Troubled Inventress

After a curious underground bunker is discovered in the state of [REDACTED], New historical records are published connected to the Northwest family. The bunker and its contents were dated to have originated from some time in the early 1900s. Atop the entrance, an odd, one-eyed triangular skull with crossbones looms over all who enter, the words "Anti-Cipher Society" engraved in the stone below it. There are rumors that a skeleton (albeit one with two eyes and a decidedly non-triangular skull) was found within, clutching a few of the many documents discovered, but authorities refuse to confirm them...

Contained within this document is a transcript of some of the contents regarding a particularly curious individual mentioned heavily throughout the many letters, journals, and other material uncovered; Abigale Blackwing, later known as Abigale Northwest.

WARNING: Transcript may be out of order, and some words may be too illegible to transcribe. These documents are old, after all.

(THATS RIGHT GUYS IM POSTING MY ABIGALE BLACKWING AND ASSORTED ANTI-CIPHER SOCIETY DRABBLE. GO READ IT!!)

[aria-greenhoodie]

I’ve talked a lot about Abigale Blackwing and how I characterize her, but not so much about the other Anti-Cipherites… Let’s fix that!

Thurburt Mudget Waxstaff III - a clumsy and extremely passionate journalist and wannabe salesman (Couldn’t sell jack for shit without help from a certain demonic triangle, forever cursed to have only the worst possible ideas for how to pitch a sale). Can be EXTREMELY petty and spiteful, especially when he feels he or his friends have been wronged. Very pathetic, this man is a mess. Also extremely silly, one of the silliest men you will ever meet. The only reason he’s made it this far in life is because his whimsical nature makes his incompetence more endearing rather than annoying… that and his dad is rich. Has a… distant relationship with his father. Was always more of a mama’s boy, but his dad still finances his lifestyle while he tries (and fails) to keep a proper steady job. Only child (derogatory). Incredibly homosexual, never understood other men’s interest in women, was always enraptured by the men in his life. Tries to repress most of these emotions, due to societal pressures and legal restrictions on homosexual acts, but rest assured if he was alive today he’d be whoring it up with damn near any man he could find. Born to be a slightly problematic nepo baby in a giant gay polycule with drama and toxicity levels you could never even dream of, forced to be a failed journalist/salesman in the late 1800s, early 1900s plagued by triangles.

THINGS I ASSOCIATE WITH HIM - hydrangea flowers, rats and mice, snowy weather, jazzy piano music, the color light blue

Horace Broadshoulder - quiet and surprisingly soft spoken. Often used his sheer size as an intimidation tactic against those who have wronged his loved ones. Will not hesitate to punch a motherfucker for the people he cares about. The tough-guy persona easily melts away writhing a few minutes of talking to him, though. He’s a big sweetheart, very considerate and in-tune with his and other’s emotions. A lot of his tough-guy persona was created in response to growing up dealing with intense racism as a mixed race man in the Victorian and Edwardian eras, built in order to protect himself. His biggest dream is starting a family and raising the next generation to be smarter, stronger, and of above all else, kinder and more understandable than the current one. Has a bit of a temper towards strangers, but most of his friends and family have never seen him mad. The ones that have knew he was just trying to protect them (even if they think sending a man to the hospital over one rude comment about Horace’s sister is a bit extreme). Speaking of, Horace grew up with three sisters, one older and two younger. Loves his sisters to death, would give them the moon if he could. Really values family. Jessamine reminds him a lot of one of his younger sisters, gets along very well with her! He and his sisters were raised basically alone by his mother, funded by their wealthy father in secret. His father, as a white man of considerable influence, couldn’t risk being seen having relations with a black woman in a time of anti-race-mixing, so he rarely was in his children’s or his lover’s lives. Horace’s poor mother was head over heels for his father, but his father saw her more as a burden then anything else. Horace hates his father, low key, but would never tell his mother that. Horace is also bisexual, but wasn’t really aware of that till he met a certain pathetic journalist… cough cough…

THINGS I ASSOCIATE WITH HIM - chrysanthemum flowers, the smell of oak wood and freshly baked bread, the color peach

Jessamine Delilah Gulch - takes no shit, very no-nonsense. Raised in poverty and made a name for herself via the traveling western sideshow she joined as a teenager for extra cash. Has much more than “a bit” of a temper. Used to be known as “Trigger-Jolly Jessie” in her small home town due to her habit of “accidentally” shooting people in the leg or hip when they did something that pissed her off. It’s a wonder she never got apprehended for that, actually. Was taught to use a gun at a very young age by her uncle, who raised her along with her aunt. Her father was a drunk and her mother was institutionalized just one year after Jessamine’s birth for “hysteria.” Her uncle (her mother’s brother) and aunt took her in to protect her from her father’s drunkenness, even though they didn’t have a lot of money to spare to raise a child that wasn’t technically their’s. Has a massive respect for her uncle and aunt, but couldn’t stay with them for longer than what was absolutely necessary due to her not wanting to burden them. Always dreamed of becoming a famous singer and actress, but settled for being a sideshow’s sharpshooter in order to make ends meet. Many describe her as “severe” or “frigid,” but she absolutely melts around those she trusts, especially her dearest Abigale. Abbey loves her far more passionately and sweetly than any man could, she’s sure of that! Absolutely a lesbian, probably also on the grey-romantic spectrum too. No one has ever nor could ever catch her heart like Abigale has. She also has a puppy! Her name is Rosie, she was a mutt Jessamine found in her time on the road, and decided to take in. She’s a feisty little thing, but such a sweetheart!

THINGS I ASSOCIATE WITH HER - royston turquoise stone, daffodil flowers, hunting dogs, sherif stars, revolver pistols (specifically the U.S. Cavalry 1873 Henry Nettleton Revolver), the color grass green

Father Tinsley O’Pimm - a drunkard and a former man of the faith with no faith left in him. His family was middle-class and severely religious and suspected him of being gay at a young age, so they sorta forced him into training to be and eventually becoming a priest in order to “fix” him, or at the very least prevent him from doing gay shit. Never knew what he wanted to do when he grew up, so he sorta allowed his parents to set his life up for him without much complaint, even though he really didn’t like being a priest. Is now incredibly bitter and jaded about life in general, and no longer speaks to his family. Took up drinking in secret to ease the agony of living a life that was never truly his, but was eventually found out and excommunicated from the church. Clings desperately to his former-priest status, not because he truly believes in God nor because he liked being a priest, but rather just because he doesn’t know what else he would have been if not that. This man is going through it. Arguably the most sane of the Anti-Cipherites, when he’s sober anyway. Also the oldest, and often feels like he has to wrangle the rest of the society in at times. Extremely starved for love and affection. Discovers a love of gossip while talking to Abigale, as well as his love of men through two particular men in the society… guess his parents were right about one thing. Would never dare act on these emotions under normal circumstances, and starts actually sobering up a bit in order to prevent any “slips” from himself under the influence.

THINGS I ASSOCIATE WITH HIM - pomegranates, candles, golden jewelry, ruby stones, pigeons, the color red

Abigale Blackwing - eccentric, loud, and infectiously passionate. Born to a wealthy couple, her mother died tragically in childbirth, leaving her architect father to raise her alone. She was his world, and he did anything and everything to set her up for the most happy and fulfilling life possible. Crossdressed for much of her adolescence in order to sneak into prestigious engineering schools that did not accept women, backed up by documents her father forged for her. Completely fell in love with machines, wanted to dedicate her entire life to making mechanical marvels the likes of which no one has ever seen before! Youngest of the Anti-Cipherites, and also the most enthusiastic. Besides machinery and mechanics, Abigale also has an interest in fashion, as well as a love of gossip. God, she loves to gossip. She’ll talk your ear off for hours about some juicy new scoop she found out about that day, and when she’s done, she’ll talk your OTHER ear off about her newest invention and how it works. No sense of self-preservation, she’s blown herself up and set herself on fire for the sake of her inventions more times than she can count. It’s a wonder she’s even still alive. No regard for the law, she is ruled by her own wants and that’s it. Very touchy, especially for a woman in the Edwardian era. Always holding or grabbing or patting the shoulder of her friends. Also prone to playfully punching or swatting her pals while joking around, unfortunately also prone to forgetting her strength and accidentally hurting them (“Oh dear, I’m so sorry Thurburt, I hadn’t meant to hit you so hard!” “Oh no no no, that’s quite alright Abigale! You’ve got quite the arm there, haha! Ha… ow…”). Knew from a very young age that she had no interest in men, and a LOT of interest in women. Tried to court a few young women in her crossdressing days, but always felt terribly about having to lie to them about her true identity. When she met Jessamine, she fell completely head-over-heels crazy in love with her after only a few days. Obsessed with that woman, would litterally blot out the sun for her if she asked.

THINGS I ASSOCIATE WITH HER - allium flowers, gears and mechanisms, birds (specifically corvids like crows, ravens, and magpies), the moon, comets, the color purple
