Our darling Kristian and Nathan gave us YET ANOTHER insanely fun WJW. These two are the absolute best. If you get a chance, give it a watch. CW: Mention of Witnessing Shootings/Death

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Kristian Nairn (@kristiannairn)

Some minor highlights from WJW today!

Nathan's been traveling!

Both of them are going to a bunch of American Comic Cons

Kristian has been working on his book and being crafty (turned some white Nikes into Spiked, Glittery Nikes)

Kristian and Nathan will be doing a wee WJW in Raleigh with the cast if they can

Nathan will be going to a not yet announced European Comic Con sometime this year

Kristian read a few excerpts from his book

There will be an audiobook version that Kristian will voice

During OFMD S1 Kristian asked David and everyone about his accent and if he should change it and David replied with "We just want YOU Kristian"

One of the funniest days on set was Nat Faxon and the GreenScreen teeth when the Swede had Scurvy

Nathan described himself as "Nathan Underscore Foad" and now the fandom will henceforth call him this.

These were some of my favorite shots of these two:

And this is a bit of bonus features for the WJW but you'll have to watch it for context:

== You Bear Fine Things Well ==

Yesterday was Day 2 of #YouBearFineThingsWell by @adoptourcrew and they asked the fandom what kind of bear each member of the crew would be! Starting off the fan spotlights, I'd like to give a special shoutout to the fab @ everyonegetcake on twitter, for their brilliant submission of Kraken Ed Bear aka Cocaine Bear to the event! I laughed pretty hard at this one.

== Love Notes ==

Hey there lovelies! I saw so much continuous clowning today! 2-3 days in a row? It's been a while since we've had that much all at once! I'm so happy to see people feeling the love and camaraderie with each other again! I hope that continues even if we see things calm down! Something I heard in WJW today that really stuck with me was "We just want YOU Kristian", something David said when Kristian kept asking if his Belfast accent was okay for the role. How absolutely heartwarming is that? We knew that David and the rest of the cast and crew were kind and wanted everyone to be themselves, but to hear that out of the mouth of Kristian and how it affected him, in his book where he poured out his soul-- just hit so much harder. That really is one of the major values that drew me, and I know quite a few others of the crew to OFMD so hard. Acceptance and celebration of individual uniqueness is at the core of OFMD-- it's part of the building blocks that makes our show so special. Each crew member has their own skills they bring to the table, and we can feel safe when we're allowed to be our true selves around others.

OFMD exudes that kind of acceptance in droves. We can hear it in their varying accents, in the wide array of queer portrayal, in the character's love and acceptance and forgiveness of each other-- in the music, the stage decoration, and the cinematography. We each are different, and we all bring things to the table that make the fandom, or the world a better place. We may not always get along, but it is in the uniqueness of so many crew we find creativity, love, kindness, acceptance, and a place where we can feel safe and learn to be more of our true and authentic selves. Embrace your uniqueness lovelies. You are different from me, from your moots, from your favorite fan artist/writer and that's fucking beautiful. We want YOU, crew. Be YOU in everything you do. Rest up lovelies, see you tomorrow <3

== Daily Darby / Tonight's Taika ==

Today was National Kitten Day so these two appropriate gifs just HAD to make an encore appearance. Gifs courtesy of the stunning and brilliant @kiwistede and @yourcatwasdelicious!

[germhammy]

“Dinner”

Hostess: hello. Do you have a reservation?

Wednesday: Wednesday Addams party of two

Hostess: Wednesday? What an unusual name? I take it your mother named you after the day you were born?

Wednesday: I was born on Friday the 13th. Please cut the chit chat and show us to our table

Seated Enid and Wednesday looked over the menu.

Enid: you must hate that. When people ask about your name.

Wednesday: it is quite annoying.

Enid: I like your name, Wednesday. It’s unique. My full name is Enid Murray Sinclair. -she snickered- My mom gave all of us E first names and M middle names. My father wanted at least one son to be named Murray but my mom did not name one Murray. My middle name is supposed to be Mary. My dad “misspelled” it. He told me this when I was five. I laughed at him.

Wednesday: Wednesday comes from a line in my mother’s favorite nursery rhyme ‘Monday’s Child’ Wednesday’s child is full of woe. And I was actually named after the day I was born. My middle name is Friday

Enid: really?

Wednesday: better than Pugsley Pubert

Looking over the menu Enid gasped

Enid: um Wednesday? Are you sure you can afford this? The size steak I want costs more than the entire meal Xavier couldn’t pay for.

Wednesday: yes, Enid. Do not worry. I also made sure I have the funds in my account to cover. If not I have a back up

Enid ordered a 12oz ribeye steak medium rare, Wednesday a 10oz ribeye steak medium rare. Enid a Caesar salad, Wednesday an Arugula salad. Potato au gratin for the both of them and Wednesday ordered French onion soup.

Their soup and salad arrived when they heard a dreaded name as the hostess headed in their direction

Enid: yuck! French onion soup! You and onions!

Hostess: This way, Mr Thorpe.

They were sat a table away.

Vincent: ah! Miss Addams fancy seeing you here! Did you get my check?

Wednesday: yes I did. Thank you. My father should have deposited it today.

Xavier: wait? You wrote her a check? She should be the one writing me a check!

Vincent: you young man have no idea who you are dealing with! The Frump family is not to be trifled with! The very fact that Hester’s daughter Morticia snagged herself an Addams?

Xavier: Frump? Hester?

Vincent: Your Godmother Billie’s friend. Wednesday, please apologize to your grandmother for me. We are cleaning up the house Billie lived in to sell. There are more than likely some possessions of hers your grandmother might want? Is there a way to send photos to her?

Wednesday: I will let Granny know. Pugsley can set her up with an email or my mother will be in touch on her behalf. I will text you later

Vincent: of course Enjoy your meal

Xavier: wait what? Are just going to allow Wednesday’s grandmother to have my godmother’s things? Do you have any idea how much some of those things are worth?

Vincent: My dear boy. Hester probably helped Billie procure many of those treasures. It only seems fitting that Hester get to pick through them and find some memories of her friend. I’m honestly surprised they were not all willed to Hester.

Wednesday: Thank you, Mr Thorpe. I will tell Granny as soon as Enid and I return home if she is still awake or in the morning

Xavier: I can’t believe you’re just giving away a fortune like that!

Vincent: and I can’t believe you’re wasting your money in this useless pursuit for Wednesday’s affection. Now let’s leave her with her friend to enjoy their meal

WIP Wednesday: Synchronize Snippet: Vintaka

This is a scene that will appear in one of the upcoming chapters of Synchronize. Not sure yet if it’ll be in chapter 8 or if it’ll appear later, but it’ll feature this beautiful art I commissioned from @luci-on-the-moon (the full uncropped, color version will be posted with the fic/chapter).

Approximately 25 years ago, Vincent brought the twins and Tanaka on a trip to Japan…

Vincent drained his cup and set it aside, turning to face Tanaka. “Hiro,” he whispered. Just hearing this abbreviation of his name from Vincent’s lips was enough to raise goosebumps on Tanaka’s arms. Vincent cradled his face, smiling warmly. “I never imagined I would ever feel this way about anyone.”

“Hai,” Tanaka agreed before he could stop himself.

Vincent kissed him. Slow, not quite chaste but still restrained, and Tanaka could have sworn the heat from the water was traveling up through his body and winding around his heart.

His eyes fluttered as they pulled apart. “How long were you married?”

“Four years, nearly,” Vincent remarked as he refilled his sake cup.

That’s when it dawned on him. “But—but we first—I had only been working for you a year—”

Vincent smiled. It was glorious as always, though a veil of sadness seemed to have been pulled over it. “Ah, well. To be honest, I was entranced by you from the moment I saw you. And with how easily Sebastian took to you, I was prepared to offer you almost anything if you’d stay by my side.”

…

Vincent’s smile was sweet and genuine. His fingertips teased Tanaka’s short hair. “You should grow it out.”

Tanaka laughed, playing with the dark ponytail draped over Vincent’s shoulder. “The twins need at least one good example.”

Acting as if he were deeply offended, Vincent said, “Are you suggesting I’m a poor influence because I have long hair?”

Tanaka smirked playfully. “No, I’m saying Vincent Phantomhive Michaelis is.”

Melodramatically clutching his chest, Vince replied, “But I thought you loved me!”

All hint of teasing gone, Tanaka couldn’t help the honest way he replied, “I do.”

WIP Wednesday! Chapter four of Rattle This Ghost Town is clicking along. Slowly.

[therulerofallpotatos]

Tyler catches Wednesday and Enid giggling like schoolgirls and correctly assumes they're plotting.

They're planning tax fraud. Not, to commit tax fraud with the purpose of stealing tax dollars from the people. They're framing somebody else for tax fraud. For all the tax fraud they do regularly.

Just you and me and the city of dreams - part two!

A few more shots from this set ~

I loved these three as well, but I also wanted to keep the original post a bit smaller and more intimate, hence splitting this up in two!

Also using the opportunity to gush a little bit about the little things here ;__;

First of all, I love that CDPR gave all their male characters such nice, defined, long eyelashes, 'cause, hell yeah <3 I feel like, in some games I played in the past, eyelashes seemed to be for women only, and I know many find the CC lacking in comparison to what was teased and promised, but in this (and a few other regards) I like it a lot. Plus male NPCs with pretty eyelashes <3

Secondly, this was my first shoot I did with Kerry's updated 2.0 model and man ;__; This is super weird and random, but I'm so happy he has proper fingernails now XD Like, actual 3D nails that can be colored etc etc (and I know I couldve just added them manually in the past, but y'know....). With how huge PL turned out to be, with how much they improved and changed and added, it's the small things like this that really really do it for me cause... yeah. Dogtown is epic and amazing, the story is so good, but also, they didn't forget about lil old Kerry and gave him (and in return the people that love him) a lil love and care, too. That is so, so nice and makes me love the people behind all this even more.

“Zoom meeting with cast and Tom Pt3”

Tom: Wednesday, do you know how long we must be on lockdown?

Wednesday: no. Mayor Santiago and Lou-Anne will take care of things in Jericho. My mother and father will aid in financial costs for the production

Xavier: who is the elitist snob now? Your parents throwing their money at the production to keep it running for their precious daughter?

Wednesday: at least my parents care!

Enid: oh! Ouch

Xavier: my parents care too!

Wednesday: does your father care enough to come to Parents’ Weekend? Do your parents care enough to come to town to act as chaperons because you are underage to make sure you are required to be on a movie set? Would your sibling work really hard in school to get ahead so he can come up to be with you?

Enid: is that why Pugsley is here?

Wednesday: Mother is going to talk to Principal Thropp to see if he can attend Nevermore until the end of the semester. He has already been accepted to attend next year.

Enid: oh! That would be awesome! Like establishing to the other students “Don’t mess with me! My big sis is Wednesday and don’t think just because she’s graduated she won’t come for you!”

Wednesday: Thing will probably stay with him

Harley: so what exactly is this Hyde creature?

Xavier: it’s nothing. Just a figment of Wednesday’s imagination

Wednesday: how can you say that? You have seen it in your dreams! Your psychic powers caused your drawings of it to attack you! You know what a Hyde is capable of?

Xavier: and I’m telling you that Tyler has been safely locked away

Enid: But he’s not! Wednesday saw it in her vision!! He’s escaped! And with his mother!

Xavier: oh yes. His poor mother. He left him and his father.

Wednesday: she was an outcast. She attended Nevermore with my parents and Weems. She was in the fencing team. One guess as to what kind of an outcast she was?

Xavier: we don’t have time for your games, Wednesday

Pippa: a Hyde?

Wednesday: yes.

Mr Johnson: well. Whatever is coming? I’m sure the sheriff can handle it. And of course-flexing his bicep- The FOUNDATION! The people’s champion!

Wednesday: oh shut the fuck up, please. You would not last a nanosecond against any real threat.

Enid: -stunned to hear Wednesday curse and say please in the same sentence- Wednesday!

Wednesday: what? I am right.

Frankie: I would love to see that!

44. Two Roads [Ophelia, Abby, Miri]

An announcement before getting to the writing is that WIP Wednesdays for October will be on hold because I will be participating in Fictober again this year, making it the sixth year I've done so.

As such, I won't be posting a prompt from the 100 Themes Challenge on the first like I normally do as I'll be working from this year's Fictober list instead. If there are prompts that I start but don't finish, they will be posted at my End of the Year WIP Wednesdays for 2024.

So, no end of the month WIP Wednesdays for the month of October! Sorry about that!

Now, onto September's prompt for this year: Two Roads. We got:

-Ophelia literally choosing a path to follow while she's on the run with Ranmaru trying to stop her -Didn't get to the choice part of his story, but Vincent has just lost Abby to the Time Door and he's not happy about this turn of events -And Miri is debating on telling Lucifer that she's from the future because he's really pissing her off with his stubbornness. Inspired by Nightbringer Lesson 35.

Raw, unedited writing below the cut. No major warnings save for things being a little emotionally heated with these prompts. At worst, Vincent contemplates door violence?

----------

Ophelia

Distant shouts and gunfire rumbled behind Ophelia as she ran as fast as her legs could carry her. Where she was going, she had no idea. All she knew was that she had to get away from Nobunaga. She had no place in war, the man was mad to bring her here, even after all the times she had refused him.

She felt lucky to have escaped when she did amongst the chaos. Was it foolish on her part?

Yes, very much so.

Did she regret her decision?

No, she did the right thing in getting away from him.

All that was left now was to find a way back to Vail Isle, before any other strange phenomena decided to sweep her away again.

First, she needed to find shelter. The battle was still too close for comfort and who knew if Nobunaga would be sending his lackeys after her.

When she stopped to catch her breath, before her stood two roads. One was a well, worn open path. It might lead her to a village that was close by, she figured.

The other was a forested path, branches and stones littering the ground. It seemed unused, older, as if it hadn't seen a human passerby in a few ages. Where would that path lead, she wondered.

"Lady Ophelia!" A familiar voice called behind her, the footfalls coming towards her quickly.

Ophelia didn't turn around, already moving her own feet down the forest path.

"Don't go down that way! It's dangerous!" Ranmaru shouted.

Ophelia ignored him, kept her eyes forward and continued to run, her lungs feeling like they were on fire.

"Lady Ophelia, please! Stop!"

Ranmaru continued to chase her, gritting his teeth as they raced through the forest.

A low tree root stood in Ophelia's path, sending her flying towards the ground. Ranmaru scrambled to catch her, both landing thankfully on a soft patch of grass. However, Ophelia pushed hard against Ranmaru, the younger trying to hold onto her.

"No, let me go!"

"I can't let you go, Lady Ophelia!"

"Release me!"

"I can't! You're in danger here!"

"I'm not going back to that psychotic wretch of a man!!"

"I won't take you back! I promise!"

"Then release me!"

"I can't! I told you it's dangerous here! I can't let you go any further!"

Ophelia squirmed and pushed hard, finally running out of steam as she sat on the ground.

Ranmaru sat beside her, also catching his breath for the moment. "I won't take you back to Lord Nobunaga, I promise, but can we go back to the other path? It's safer there."

"You keep saying that. What's so dangerous about this forest?"

"I'll explain later, but, please, come with me?" Ranmaru pleaded, holding Ophelia's hand between his own. "I can take you somewhere safe for the time being. Please, Lady Ophelia?"

-----------

Abby

Vincent fell to his knees in front of the door, sealed tightly no matter how much he pushed and pulled. He called out Abby's name, banged his fists against the door. No other sounds in the hallway reached his ears. No booted footfalls, no grunts of struggle, no demands for what happened. All Vincent could do was stare at the door in silence.

She was gone. Abby was gone. Vincent couldn't feel air entering into his lungs anymore, as if someone had punched him in the stomach. His head fell forward, the hard wood making a dent into his forehead but he didn't feel it. All of his thoughts were focused on the last image of Abby falling through the open door, her eyes full of fear. He banged his fist against the door again, hard enough to feel it starting to bruise.

After a few moments, a large, warm hand squeezed his shoulder, the scent of cigarillos enveloping him.

"Le Comte wants to see you."

Vincent stopped beating the door, his breathing ragged.

"I have to go after her."

"Hm?"

"I need to go after her."

"The door won't open for another month, caro."

"I'll… I'll make it open…!"

The hand on his shoulder pulled on him harder.

"Whoa, hold on there."

"Let me go. I have get her back."

"You won't get to her by turning the door into splinters and chips."

"We won't know until I try it, right?"

"Vincent." Leonardo admonished. "Much as I want to tear it off the hinges to get her back too, that's not how it works. Talk to Le Comte first."

-----------

Miri

Miri knew that she likely wouldn't survive this surprise train ride with Lucifer, one way or another. And Lucifer was going to get his way, regardless of her answers, she knew that as well.

If only she could tell him the truth. That she was from the future, that she was going back to him, to him and his brothers in the future, where she truly belonged. She had already sworn to secrecy with Solomon as it could disrupt the flow of this timeline's flow (or something, she still didn't understand a lot about time magic or time travel), but Lucifer was making it very difficult for her to keep her mouth shut. First at the bookstore with his declaration that she should be a teacher at RAD, then inviting himself along with the train trip tickets she had won, guaranteeing the two would be alone 'to talk', picking out an outfit for her to wear to dinner, and finally, the final straw, choosing for her at dinner without her input.

She probably should have taken a page out of the Anti-Lucifer's book and cursed him with how angry he was making her, but, for all of his… childishness, let's call it that, she knew why he was doing it and that made her eyes prick with unshed tears.

If only she could tell him the truth, maybe then he'd back off. He'd agree to the pact again and she could finally back home… back to him… back to her normal….back to the Lucifer she knew. Her Lucifer.

She looked down at her ring, his ring, feeling heartsick.

"You're not eating, Miri." Lucifer's deep, familiar voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Sorry, but not getting a choice in the matter has soured my appetite." She refused to look at him.

A sigh.

"Still angry, I see."

"And whose fault is it I'm angry to begin with?"

"And stubborn."

"Thanks, I learned it from the best."

"You're being ridiculous." she heard the sound of a knife scraping against a plate. "Just stay in Devildom. You can be happy here. You already are."

"I can't stay."

"Why not?"

"Because."

Another sigh.

"'Because' isn't an answer. Try again."

She finally turned to look at him, her brows furrowed. "Isn't wanting to go home enough of a reason?"

"Where is your home?"

"The… the human realm."

"You hesitated."

"So?"

"You had to think of the answer. It wasn't the first thought that came to your mind, was it?"

"What does it matter? I'm a human, so that means I'm from the human realm, duh."

"Where is your home in the human realm?"

"It's… it's a big realm."

"Is it now?"

"Yes. You probably haven't heard of it."

"You're dodging the question."

"Why do you want to know? Are you going to going to follow me home?"

"As tempting as that sounds, you can't return without my help. And you still haven't answered me."

"Yes, I have."

"Miriam…"

"I want to go back to the Human Realm. What else is there to know?"

"Where is this place in the Human Realm that you want to return to so badly?"

"Why does it matter so much to you?"

"You're still not answering me."

"You're not answering me!"

"Fine, let me ask a different question." He held out his fork towards her, close to her mouth.  "The people you want to return to. What are they like?"

"What are they-"

"They must be special to you. So, tell me about them. You've told me about this bitter coffee lover in your life. Let's start with him."

Miri, startled by the sudden question, didn't notice that Lucifer had slid a piece of his bicorn into her mouth until she started to chew. She looked at the Ring of Light again, lost in thought. 

"At first, he was pretty scary. Intimidating. I was a stranger to him that was imposed onto his family, but he tolerated me. That's how it started anyway."

Miri pressed her fingers close to her right ear, where Mammon's pact was. The lines were invisible when she wasn't actively using her pacts, but she always got a slight tingle when she thought of the brothers.

"And I was… nothing but trouble for him. Sticking my nose in where I shouldn't and all that. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?"
