☄ / 🔮 / 🌐 :)

Gah I had so much fun with these! Again, so sorry I didn’t get around to them sooner, but I hope they were worth waiting for!

☄ - NewsAGoGo

To begin with I need to say that my headcanons for this wonderful lesbian are HEAVILY influenced by @neon-rat‘s NewsAGoGo tag cause that shit is SO GOOD.

- So we got our lesbian scene queen here. She’s had about four thousand different hair cuts and colours and not a single one has ever looked good, but that’s sort of the point. She is CONSTANTLY shaving bits off her head and has most of her scalp tattooed. Frequently seen in a variety of extremely ugly green, yellow or orange trench coats and totally impractical knee length boots, and manages to pull off the ‘I literally wouldn’t recognise good fashion if it punched me in the face’ look brilliantly. This is mostly because of her charisma and confidence in personally loving her own look, and besides, she is a TERRIFYING motherfucker so most runners wouldn’t have the guts to tell her they don’t like her look anyway.

- When I say shes tattooed I mean she is TATTOOED. Most of her body is covered. They aren’t generally big pieces either - a large piece on her upper arm, chest and one thigh, but otherwise covered in tons of smaller pieces, individual from each other and symbolic of vastly different things. Her favourite is probably any of the pieces her girlfriend, DJ Hot Chimp, has given her, and even if Hot Chimp wasn’t genuinely one of the best tattoo artists in the zones she would adore the fact that it’s her girl’s iconic ocean patterns that rest across her rib cage.

- She can be pretty blunt, and it often comes across as rude - she will always speak her mind and totally tends to miss the changes in conversations when people are hurt. She can also get a little heated too when she’s passionate, but also very short when she doesn’t care, so she can be a little intense for many joys to deal with. That’s not, however, to say that she is unkind. If NewsAGoGo is anything, its a good fucking friend. She is fiercely loyal to Doctor Death Defying and her friends at the radio station, and to Hot Chimp, and she easily makes up for anything mean that she may accidentally say in the passion she shows to the people she trusts.

- Before they settled either with or near Doctor D in the radio station, News, Hot Chimp, Cherri and Pony all ran together - it only lasted for about six months once they escaped the City, but it was probably the most fun any of them had. They were some of the earliest killjoys to get out, so the rules of the Zones were much less defined, meaning that setting fire to buildings for the sake of it and driving fast enough to crash every single car they found was fine - the precious nature of these things really weren’t set out or apparent, and the desire for chaos which plagues any runner fresh out of the City went uncontrolled in them.

🔮 - The Phoenix Witch

AH! My absolutely favourite character in the universe! Resident Goth Deity!

- She isn’t called the Phoenix Witch for no reason. The woman has mad power. Raising the dead and making random shit vanish type power. Mostly she takes this very seriously - a nasty side effect of prophetic visions is that she can see the role she, and others, need to play in the big picture, and so her somewhat controversial choices to raise, or not raise joys from the dead plays on her conscience a lot. It’s not clear where she got her power from other than the fact that it took her years of practise to gain it, and that the more powerful she becomes the less she seems to actually be seen.

- This then means that very few living runners have actually seen her. In the earlier days it was more common - she seemed to actually conform to the idea that having a physical form means that you had to exist somewhere at all times, so seeing her around the zones was rare, but possible. Many of those ‘joys who did see her wandering across the land however were ghosted, and those who do claim to have seen her in the later years tend to say that she can just appear at will, and so this lack of knowledge and sightings of her, paired with the frequent stories of the impossible things she can just do really gained her her status as big fucking mythical cryptid across the zones.

- Know I included this in my last Phoenix Witch headcanon post but it’s a headcanon I am willing to Die for - She is Doctor Death Defying’s twin. They were raised together and although they don’t see each other very often cause like. crazy zone happenings. they are still incredibly close and look out for each other. They also fuck around and indirectly make each other’s lives extremely difficult on purpose to piss the other one off because even if your sister is essentially a deity you can still make sure that she wakes up to her least favourite song playing on the radio once every week, and even if your brother is the most revered killjoy in the zones you can give him weird fucking intense dreams that fully convince him that yes, he is in fact a large marsupial, at two in the morning.

- Her ability to shape shift was something that kind of just happened. very suddenly. She was kind of just sitting there one day, thinking about how inconvenient it was to be a human person with like arms and legs and a torso, when suddenly she just wasn’t anymore. It was pretty surprising to say the least, to no longer have to exist in corporeal form, but both personally and practically it was pretty awesome, and after some practise she worked out how to change into a raven, which while also looking totally rad allowed her to go and sit outside Doctor D’s radio station at ungodly hours of the morning and shriek really loud before making a quick get away.

🌐 - One of my OCs

Okay lets talk Grenade. My fucking weird dumbass bitch oc. Love her.

- She has never lived in the Battery - she’s originally from around London, but when shit Went Down in the UK her family moved as far as they could - into the area that later became the zones. Her mother moved into the City in the early days but Grenade’s apprehension to follow proved pretty fucking lucky after Better Living started dropping bombs on the zones and their true nature was revealed. During this time she spent a while running with this group of aggressive dudes and trying to convince herself that she was totally straight™, but she quickly realised that this group were actually pretty awful morally, and left, later realising that girls exist and reassessing her entire world view.

-  She is pretty covered in tattoos (notice the running theme in my headcanons for most female killjoys, I’m gay sue me), with her favourite being either the snake around her forearm or the large floral pieces over her hips and thighs. Her time being a general nuisance to Dracs has proved a little detrimental to the larger pieces on her body - a particularly violent run in left most of her chest piece totally unrecognisable, but the scarring itself still has meaning to her so it doesn’t bother her too much.

- She is often seen running around under the full moon, titties out, praising the Goddess. Just cause you live in the desert doesn’t mean you can’t still do your crazy witch shit and Grenade is definitely extremely spiritual. Due to this she also makes charms for runners she meets - getting her hands on actual supplies for spell bags is hard, but she makes do with what she can find and invests a lot of time into sigil magic to make up for it.

- Her and Lithium (@neon-rat’s OC) were the first members of their group, and met shortly after Better Living stopped dropping pig bombs when the two of them ended up trying to kill the same annoying SCARECROW agent together. They got on amazingly mostly because they are both fucking batshit crazy, so the idea of spending three weeks hiding in the City and just repetitively stealing all the fruit from the previously mentioned SCARECROW agent’s house before setting it on fire was one that made perfect sense to them both. They were originally gonna call their group Dykes! but realised that DOGS, or ‘Damn, Occult Girls are Sexy’ is funnier, and sounds like it should stand for something way cooler than it does.

I Want You To Ruin My Life

Since I wrote about my OCs, I figured I’d put this one-shot here for everyone to read if they so wish to do so. The story will also be on my DeviantART if anybody wants to read it there.

Title: I Want You To Ruin My Life Summary: Different times and days of Liselotte Sauber-VanRompa and Maria Villa. (One-shot. Some parts are at different times of their lives. Lyric-fic.) Rating: T Genre: Romance

I miss you pushing me close to the edge, I miss you.

"Yo, Lotte, look at me!" Maria yelled out.

Liselotte looked up, seeing her up on top of some wires. They seemed to be ancient as they weren't used in awhile along with some parts looking like they were rusted. The persian-barn cowl groaned, having her paw up to her forehead.

"Maria, this is just both dangerous and childish."

Maria squatted down. "Come on, have some fun for once! You're way too stiff, especially for being that woman's grandchild! Hell, your sister is perkier and more fluid than you."

"And what are you tryna say about me?" Lotte put her hands on her hips. "I can have some fun, Maria, this just ain't it."

"Well, if you can have some fun, then get your ass up here!"

"No."

"Oh, so then I guess you're just a scaredy cat-owl lady, aren't you?"

Lotte harshly growled under her breath. She levitated up to the wires and walked on top of them with ease. Maria had a sly, mischievous smile on her gray beak. She stood up and started walking on the wires backwards, keeping her eyes on the green dressed cowl that was in front of her. The raven began to make the wires vibrate with the claws on her feet, going with her right foot first then her left. The process rinsed and repeated to make sure Liselotte had a bit of a challenge.

Liselotte furrowed her eyebrows and hung her head while moving her eyes up at the raven. She was beginning to lose her balance and as a result, she decided to alternate walking between the two wires that were side by side. Maria began to chuckle as she saw what Liselotte was doing. She held both wires up with her claws, standing on her heels, and brought them as high up as possible.

Once she let go, the wires started to vibrate much more than before. That wasn't just it, though, as they vibrated there was electricity visibly going through the wires heading towards Liselotte's way. Lotte jumped in the air as if she was an ice skater, landing onto the wires perfectly with only a few inches away from Maria.

"I wasn't aware you were trying to electrocute the person who saved you from going to jail."

Maria shrugged while having a smile that screamed she knew what she was doing. "I'm sorry, Miss Lawful, is it illegal to add a bit of the element of danger to something like this?"

Liselotte chuckled. "No, but it is illegal to purposely electrocute someone."

"Oh stop being Miss Lawful for a day and have some fun!" Maria spread her arms outward and stood on the wire on one foot. "It's not gonna kill ya to chillax some!"

As much as she hated some of the shit she did, Lotte couldn't help but smile as she walked away from her.

You set fire to my world, Couldn't handle the heat, Now I'm sleeping alone, And I'm starting to freeze.

Maria walked into the living room. She stretched and yawned while her feet went on and off the chocolate brown carpet. She looked up at the clock, seeing what the time was.

"Holy damn, it's real late. Speaking of, I wonder where Lotte is..."

Around one corner of the room, she saw Liselotte on the couch. Upon further inspection, Maria saw that she was asleep. Weird thing was that she seemed to be shivering despite the fact that the room wasn't that cold. It was rather pretty warm, maybe a bit hotter than warm at best. Maria silently chuckled, guessing that she despite the fact she's too much of a flame, Lotte needed her there so she wouldn't be an iceberg.

She went to grab a blanket, one of Liselotte's favorites to be more exact, and put the fern green blanket on top of her. Maria could see why it was her favorite, the color was somewhat like the color of one of her dad's eyes. It seemed like today was a very busy work day for her, as she wasn't even in her pajamas. She was still in that fancy French looking outfit, jabot and everything.

She would've been there to support her, but she had to be at home while her younger sister, Odalis, visited. For the Villa family, it was a holiday where the family had to be together and do some activities. It wasn't something Maria understood, but she participated anyways as she hadn't seen her sister in awhlie and she didn't want to bail out on her family. As rebellious-spirited as she was, it wasn't in her nature to ditch her family just to help a lawyer who was her friend and family friend's granddaughter. Lotte was fine with it and let her do what she needed to do.

Maria went into the kitchen, took the spaghetti out of the fridge and put it in the microwave. While it was heating up, she grabbed out the apple cider and put it in a tall, transparent orange cup. She put the cider away, stopped the microwave from going off so it didn't awaken Liselotte, and took the spaghetti, parmesan cheese, and her drink to the living room. Maria sat down next to Liselotte and started to eat her food.

Even though the sleeping cowl preferred it if she had newly cooked food to eat, Maria didn't want to leave her be for too long. Because of that, she only heated up the food that was from last night. Honestly though, the raven couldn't blame her for feeling so tired. It was a busy day for the both of them, with Maria having to run and fly a bit along with some other things. From that, she was tired as well and couldn't wait to fall asleep in their wooden bed that she made for them both.

She tried to eat up the spaghetti as fast as she could without choking herself. In between the mouthfuls of spaghetti that made her look like a chipmunk, Maria took some sips and swallows of apple cider that sat on the end table next to her while she ate. Liselotte's tail got on top of Maria's lap, causing the raven to move her food straight up without any of it falling over. She tried to move her big, fluffy tail aside but as soon as she went to put the plate on her lap, the tail moved onto there again. Maria only silently groaned.

Putting the plate onto the couch arm, Maria moved her body so it was facing towards the doorway to the kitchen. She finished up her food and drank up the rest of what was left in the cup. Maria turned her body around to get up, but as she did so Lotte's tail went straight upwards and hit her right in the face unintentionally. Maria's eyes were closed shut and her beak went into a sour frown. She put the plate on the end table and put her wings together with her pointer feathers up against one another.

"Woman I fucking love you to death but oh my fucking clouds I hate it when your tail hits my face like this and it makes me want to cut your tail to send it to hell and say 'goodbye you damn bitch' as it burns..." Maria whispered to herself.

She breathed in, and then she exhaled very slowly. Grabbing the plate, cheese, and cup, she headed into the kitchen. Maria put the plate and cup into the sink, rinsing them both before anything else. She put the cheese up onto one of the counters back where she got it from. Maria rubbed her eyes and walked back into the living room. Maria picked up Liselotte and put her over her shoulder, blanket still intact. It still surprised her that she was as light as a feather even though it shouldn't, as Lotte was a non-corporeal being so it would make sense for her to be as light as she was.

Maria opened the bedroom door and gently put Lotte down onto the bed. She changed into some shorts, not bothering to put a shirt on over her bra, and went into the same bed Lotte was on. She put her yellow varsity jacket on top of herself.

She gave Lotte a kiss on her marking. "G'night, Lotte."

Baby, come bring me help, Let it rain over me, Baby, come back to me.

Rain hit hard onto the pathway Lotte was running on. Nowhere had she seen Maria, not a single place could she find her. Liselotte looked every single place she could look and there was no sign nor trail of her anywhere. Running under a tree, she slammed her back against it and slid down to the bottom of it. Tears fell down the cowl lawyer's cheeks.

A little bit after her most recent case started, Maria had suddenly disappeared. Nobody saw where she went, no one heard her say anything about going anywhere, absolutely no word of her disappearance. Hearing about that after the second trial day terrified her deep inside. On the outside, she only replied to the news as calmly as she could since she had to be professional as possible.

Not only that, but considering it was the end of the trial for the day, she had to investigate and find more evidence to solve the case. So, due to that, she couldn't be a mess or take a single bit of time to cry. Now that it was after the whole trial, though, she had to find her no matter what.

Her paws went straight up to her face, concealing all but her forehead. It seemed like a nightmare that was never going to end. She only wanted it to stop and hoped that, if she was gone for good, it truly was a nightmare that she was suffering. She didn't know what she would do if Maria was missing forever. As Liselotte sobbed, the sound blended into the sound of the rain all around her.

"Lotte, what are you cryin' about? Don't ya know a knight should be keepin' their face all gorgeous and shit?" She had said.

Liselotte looked up and her eyes widened. Who was in front of her was Maria Amor Villa, the very person she was looking for. She was smiling as if she hadn't gone missing. Liselotte got up and stood right in front of her, looking up at the taller bird. After a few seconds went by, Liselotte punched her right in the wing.

"Whoa whoa calm down, Lotte! What was that for?"

"You fucking terrified the living hell out of me!" Liselotte gasped out.

Maria looked around Liselotte, seeing gold rose mist coming out of her. "Damn, you're pretty fucking pissed at me, aren't you?"

"Of course I am, you corporeal dumbass!" Lotte launched herself into Maria, hugging her tightly. "You've put me, your mothers, and Odalis into a damn panic! You made me think you could've been murdered, or- or even kidnapped you idiotic bitch!"

She gasped for air and sobbed onto her shoulder. Maria hugged back with her eyes widened.

"Damn, I..." That was all she could get out.

"...You- You made me think you could've been kidnapped and then murdered... Or- Or something...!" Lotte said. "All I had was your damn varsity jacket... How was I supposed to know you were okay, you son of a bitching jackass?"

"Sorry." Maria whispered, swallowing back the tears she had before she could give them the chance to fall. "I won't leave like that without letting you or at least your pops know again..."

Lotte pulled back, her face being all red and puffy. "Thank you." She sniffed. "I'm so glad you're alive. I didn't want to lose my partner after five cases. Or at all, actually."

Maria chuckled, sounding like she'd crack at any moment. "Well don't worry, you ain't losin' your first client, Lotte."

"Good." Liselotte took off the jacket she had on. "Oh, and you can have your varsity jacket back by the way."

"Well thank you! I was actually wondering where I left that." Maria put her jacket back on. "Say, do you wanna trash some public property?"

"...That's illegal, Maria."

Maria laughed. "I'm joking! I know you wouldn't be up for that!"

"You sound like you would be up for it."

"I definitely would be."

"If you dare do that type of shit, don't expect me to defend you in court for that. You'd be on your own there."

I want you to ruin my life, You to ruin my life, Yeah, to ruin my life, yeah, I want you to fuck up my nights, yeah, Fuck up my nights, yeah, All of my nights, yeah.

Every bit had to be perfect.

If even one thing was wrong, it'd fuck the whole thing up and she'd have to either fix it somehow or start from scratch. Maria didn't want to start from scratch, as it took her several hours working on it and she didn't want any of that to go to waste, especially not something like this. What she was working on was very important. Because of it she was hoping to get it finished before the next day.

She took a step back to look at the front of the sculpture. She scanned every part of the front to see if there was anything she needed to fix. Maria then turned the sculpture around to do the same to the other sides and so far, it didn't seem like there were any. The raven wiped the sweat off of her forehead with her arm. It was the biggest project she had ever worked on.

Maria rolled her jacket sleeves down and went to clean up the areas around the sculpture. Afterwards, she headed to her sister's room. She knocked on her door, awaiting a reply from her.

"Come in." Odalis replied.

Maria walked into the room. Her eyes were greeted with purpureus purple walls and victorian-like decor. Odalis's bed was in the upper right corner of the room with a coffee table at the end of it. When Maria looked to the left, she could see her sister there by the window. There was a little table next to her and it had tubes of paint on it, all seemingly pastel colors and not much dark colors besides black.

She walked next to the table that had the tubes of paint on it. She looked at what Odalis was painting onto the canvas. As expected, Maria saw a skeleton with flesh and fur melting off of them. The skeleton was smiling with tears going down their bare bones and they were surrounded by sedum flowers. The painting looked like it was nearly done, just color in the flowers and add some extra touches. Maria then looked at her sister, who had her hair in a big braid and had a painting apron on over her sky magenta dress.

After another stroke or two, Odalis laid down her paintbrush then looked at Maria.

"Mind if I borrowed some of your paints, sis?"

The hummingbird raised her eyebrow. "Who is the project you're working on for?" She crossed her arms.

"What? Can't I paint my stuff every once in a while, Ode?" Maria questioned. "Is it a crime all of a sudden?"

"You never, and I mean never, paint your stuff unless it's for someone or it's a special occasion, and I'm not aware of anything 'special' going on." Odalis stared at her blankly, making it appear she had soulless eyes. "So who is it for, Mimi? There's nothing to be ashamed of, so you can drop your 'jockish' act."

Maria breathed in to argue, but gave in and sighed. "Okay, follow me."

Both of them went to Maria's bedroom, or as she would like to call it her 'working place', and she showed Odalis the sculpture she made.

"This is what I've made and it's for Lotte."

"Lotte, as in Liselotte, the person who defended you so you wouldn't go to jail for a few years and be known as a murderer?"

"Yes her."

Odalis stared at the sculpture for a few seconds, letting out a 'hmm' looking at it. She then looked back at her sister.

"I'll let you borrow some of my best paints for this."

Maria's eyes widened. "Hold up, you're giving me your best paints?"

"Yep. Considering she's very important to you, I'll allow you to use my best paints this one time."

"Oh my clouds that's-" She cleared her throat. "I mean, thanks sis."

Odalis patted her shoulder. "No problem."

She left the room and got her paints for the sculpture. Maria grabbed a paintbrush, opened up one of Odalis's paint cans, and started painting the sculpture. Odalis left her be and went back to her room to finish up her painting. Maria took her time to paint it, get every little area and do every little detail as much as she could. As the sun went down, Maria turned on the light next to the crafting table she was painting on.

She washed the brush at the sink next to her work station and started painting with another color, a nice luscious shade of green that she needed to be exact. Maria started putting on an even coat of paint onto the clothing part of the sculpture. Her eyelids fell and her head started to fall down, but she smacked herself and kept on painting. She had to keep going even if she's dead tired. She laid down the paint brush and went into her mini fridge, grabbing a caffeinated drink to gulp down.

Maria wiped the drink off of her beak and kept working. She heard the door open but she didn't bother to look over there. All she did was turn the sculpture slightly and kept painting. The raven felt a wing go on her shoulder.

"You should sleep, Mimi. It's not good to stay up all night to work on something."

Maria yawned. "I'll be fine Ode, just need to finish up painting, let it dry, and I'll put a clear coat on it so moss won't grow on it."

"Alright," Odalis sighed through her nostrils, "but don't come crying your colors off if you drop dead from exhaustion while working on this. I know she fucks up your nights badly, but don't go make your exaggerations truth, Mimi."

She then walked away from Maria, closing the door behind her. Maria finished up the rest of the painting and yawned. She stretched and decided to go walking around the house so she didn't fall asleep while she waited for the paint to dry. After she walked around her house a couple of times she went back to her bedroom and checked to see if it was dry. It was good enough for her to put a clear coat on and so she did, putting on a good amount of it.

When she was done, she cleaned up her brush and put it away, put the paint cans back in Odalis's room, and went to her bed. As soon as she got onto her bed and closed her eyes Maria passed out.

Knocking on the door, Maria woke up and got off of her bed immediately. She went to the door and opened it slightly to see who it was. Apparently, it was Liselotte standing right there. Maria panicked, coming straight out of the room, closing her door right away, and leaned her back onto the door to make sure Liselotte couldn't get in or see what was in there.

"Hey Lotte, didn't expect to see you here!"

"Well, good afternoon to you too." Lotte replied. "Didn't know you sleep until noon."

"Oh that? Yeah I was working on something last night so I was up for quite a bit!" She leaned her shoulder onto the doorframe. "So what brings you here?"

"My grandmother wanted to meet with your mothers so she thought it'd be nice to bring me here as well."

"Ain't that great!" Maria exclaimed enthusiastically.

"So, mind if I see what you were working on?"

Maria gulped. "Oh uh, sure but I haveta make sure I- Hold on a second!"

Lotte opened the door and looked to the right. What she saw caused her to widen her eyes and have her right paw up to her mouth. If Maria didn't know any better, it seemed like she was ready to shed some tears, which caused her to worry. Lotte walked up to the sculpture taking a careful look at it. She didn't expect Maria to make a sculpture of her of all people. Afterwards she then looked at Maria, whom of which was sweating bullets.

"Is... Is this for me?"

"I, uh, yeah. It... Kinda is honestly." Maria scratched her neck.

Liselotte hugged her. "I'd like to give you my gratitude and my thanks. It's... Amazing! I- I didn't think anybody would make a sculpture of me, much less go as detailed as this."

"Ha well, I mean-"

"You even did the badge that I wear, I didn't even know you could see all of the details of it!"

"Well no problem, glad you like it! Uh... You gonna, stop hugging me now or?"

"In a bit."

I want you to bring it all on, If you make it all wrong, Then I'll make it all right, yeah.

Liselotte walked into the detention center room, sitting down right across from the suspect who was separated from her with glass on the table between the two. She saw how the raven hung her head, only looking at her legs. Lotte swiftly swung her right leg over her left.

"Greetings, madam Villa, I am Liselotte Sauber-VanRompa." She said introducing herself. "May you tell me what happened?"

She only moved her head up some, just enough to look at her. "Last night, during the evening, I was just walking home after getting a few of those palette holder things that artists have to hold their paints for my sister. She would've done it, but Mother and M'ma needed her home for something. I saw a person lying on the ground and I went to see if they were okay. When I got closer I saw there was blood on the ground and I didn't know what to do. Before I knew it, a dozen dog knights surrounded me before I could do anything and... Well, you know the rest."

Liselotte only stared at her, wondering if she was telling the truth or not. While it was the first case she was tackling, she couldn't be too sure if a possible client was lying or if she was being honest. The suspect slammed her arms onto the table, putting her head up against the glass. What she did frightened the cowl despite not showing so physically besides her eyes widening.

She began to sob. "Please... Please help me. I can't go to jail, I- I can't just... Just leave Odalis like this, not all because I'm wrongly accused of murdering someone!"

That did it for Liselotte, she was telling the truth. No real murderer would purposely kill someone and cry real tears when it came to thinking about someone they need to take care of. She put her paws up onto the glass, intentionally making sound so the other bird could see.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure you'll be proven not guilty. You got my word, Miss Villa."

The raven wiped the tears off of her face, sniffing in the process. "Thank you. And you can call me Maria, by the way, no need to be so formal."

"Okay, Miss... I mean, Maria. I'll find out who did it and prove your innocence."
