#based off of a lemon demon song because when is it not

[murderofsomeone]

it's probably decently obvious that my main lemon demon design was created BEFORE seeing any fandom depictions (or even really that much official art past the logo) because of how violently he stands out in comparison to other designs. it's a little obvious that my inspiration was self-contained and it granted me a bit of creative freedom along with a completely different train of thought while designing him. his three eyes however is very much a relic of 2022 because I was designing a lot of demons with asymmetrical faces at the time and well, why not make another

anyway here's a comparison of him to my most recent lemon demon original design (where it's a bit more obvious I was influenced by somewhat of a fandom culture)

extra bonus rambling under the cut

my general design process has actually stayed relatively contained with a few exceptions like soft fuzzy man's color and weirdly neil himself. yeah sorry chat neil is the first guy that was highly influenced by someone else's design you can shoot me too if you'd like. but I legitimately believe he's the only real example because every other character that has a design remotely similar to someone else is likely due to us both following a similar source material (like my cabinet design being based off polybius) or there being only so many ways to interpret the design (gef the mongoose would've fallen into this category if it wasn't for the fact I made him Joker colors)

in general I tend to follow a mindset of how "weird" I can make a design or how much I can push a lyric/implement it into a design. I also like to twist around the convention and try new things. a good example of both of these apply to my doctor amnesia design.

really the main things going through my head were "well he didn't state HOW many eyes", chosing an eye color that often is overlooked in conventional beauty standards to elevate them and cause you to think, while leaning into the somewhat otherworldly nature she's depicted in by giving her blue skin, a color I associate with the song.

another fun thing I'll do is create a "design pipeline" where I'll take an attribute and run it through a list of connections before we end up in a place long past where we started or just combining a bunch of traits that could be interpreted that way, resulting in designs like this.

though wolfgang isn't my weirdest design, he definitely did not start where we ended off. I believe before the wizard of oz theming for clown circus was set in stone (a choice that has EVERYTHING to do with oz explodes and an element I'll explain later), he was some kinda mirror object head that had absolutely nothing to do with his current namesake. since I wasn't satisfied with that design, I kept a relative aspect of the personality and shapes and thus ended up creating a really interesting take on a character who is largely depicted as... well there's no really good way to say this, but Bad.

since I was working with a new fresh aspect I started by making him a wolf... and then connecting him to "there's a robot in my head". this kind of connected the dots to ultimately make him associated to the tin man, since no one was connected to that character for the wizard of oz element and it was up for grabs (this is also how he somehow got associated with toasters via connecting the previously mentioned song to "what's in the toaster", etc etc). these pipelines of connecting songs that aren't normally related, but making them Work in a believable way makes designs more interesting for me and gives them a bit more purpose and personality. I think this is what ultimately makes people get a bit lost on my interpretations considering they aren't super simple by just being about One Song, but by being about multiple that aren't originally related in the source material. just like how I connected dr amnesia to when he died, explaining a bit of her more mildly supernatural or off-putting elements by making the man in that song her father.

the final real design element that I focus on is the strange rule I follow in terms of how these characters are shaped. there's a massive sort of "alice in wonderland" theming going on in terms of how human/humanoid designs look in contrast to designs that look less and less human. their proportions become more cartoon and shaped, their sizes are affected etc etc all while the human/humanoid characters stay relatively normal next to each other with more believable design elements.

here's the horrid long strip of nearly 100 different character renders next to each other to get a general idea on what I'm talking about

the silhouettes of the human characters "pop" less because they're supposed to contrast to their nonhuman counterparts. which isn't something I normally do, but given the source idea of a sort of "wonderland", I think it works in this specific context.

in conclusion: I'm design autistic and like to use designing to try new things, which is why I fucked that lemon up. sorry about that chat

it looked better on my computer i swear

I wanted to share the official playlist I made for this fic! I always make playlists for stories of mine, but I honestly really like this one and wanted to share it. I went way overboard on the cover, but it was still fun. I’ll probably reuse it when I post the first chapter of the fic, which I’m hoping will happen in the next couple weeks!

tracklist under the cut! the songs don’t map directly onto the plot or anything, they’re just vibe-based. there’s a lot of cheesy pop and angsty stuff right next to each other, because i feel like that’s gonna be the tone of the fic in general.

Aroura Borealis - König x reader - Part 1

Series master post- Read on Ao3

This is a multichapter fic so just to clarify, not all of these tags apply to this chapter (in fact, almost none of them do) but I do want to give people a heads up of what they're getting into, especially because this is a lot darker than my usual writing.

Part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6, part 7

Warnings/Tags: Fem!reader, eldritch!König, kidnapping, manipulation, gaslighting, violence, minor character death, end of the world, apocalypse/post-apocalypse, potential dub/non con. Dead dove, do not eat. It may not seem like it now but you've been warned. Based on/inspired by the Lemon Demon song by the same name. Alt summery: your boyfriend turns out to be an immortal being beyond your possible comprehension, but all he really cares about is making sure you're safe through the end of the world. /j but not really.

“Let’s take a month-long impromptu vacation we can’t afford to the Canadian Northern Territories.” Your boyfriend said.

“It’ll be fun,” He said.

You shouldn’t have agreed to this. You should’ve raised more questions at König’s sudden insistence to take a holiday.

But no, you’d let him bring you out here. You’d let him pack way too much for this trip. You’d let him convince you that he had the money for it. You’d let him take you somewhere so remote that you had to fly in to the closest “town” (town being a strong word for the small collection of buildings he’d shown you on google maps) on a bush plane, just to get some guy König knew from the military who knew the area to drive you up to the place you’d be staying. You let him do all of it. You’d pushed past your unease and just tried to enjoy yourself for once. And for a brief moment, everything had been fine. König had been right, you were just being weird about it.

The area was beautiful. The town was the only civilization for miles, and it was situated on the northern bank of a large, frozen river and surrounded from all other directions by boreal forest and rising mountains. 

The buildings were a charming hodgepodge of styles, sizes, and colors. The rural, unplanned community was so different from the cookie cutter suburbs and high density urban areas you were used to.

The ground was covered in dense layers of snow- packed down into makeshift trails where people would walk from building to building or towards the tree line. The wind whipped across the flat, icy plane of the river, gathering speed and picking up tiny bits of snow and ice so when it hit your skin, it felt like a thousand tiny pinpricks all at once. 

The people you met were lovely too. There was a small general goods type store towards the center of the town that König had directed you to go wait and warm up in while he talked to the guy he’d known from up here, and the elderly couple who ran it were sweet as could be. You’d bought a few basics for dinner and a cheesy little souvenir keychain from them. Not necessarily because you needed it, but because the couple who ran the store were as sweet as could be.

You chatted with the woman as she rang up your items, telling her about how König had decided to bring the two of you up here and listening when she tells you how during the summer, the cabins on the mountain side are rented out regularly for vacations, but that she’d never seen the owner rent one out during the offseason.

“Strange young man, that one.” She mutters, shaking her head and looking out the window at the man talking with König before turning back to the small register and punching in the code for a can of chili. “He’s lived up here for god knows how long and I hardly see him. Never heard him say more than a few words or take off that mask and sunglasses either.”

You frown, watching the König and the man talk outside for a moment. 

It wasn’t snowing at the moment- although the locals had assured you that you’d probably be sick of the snow by the time you left- and König and the other man stood stiffly facing each other. König had his hands stuffed deep in his pockets and wore a tense expression towards the other that didn’t quite fit the narrative of “old military friend” he’d given you. The other guy seemed much less on edge- as he was leaning against the side of the bed of what you assumed to be his truck with his arms crossed loosely over his chest. He was shorter than König and wore a fabric face mask, hat, and reflective sunglasses like the ones you’d see at outdoor stores like REI or Bass Pro Shop.

König was wearing a face covering of sorts too- as was typical for him. You knew that, on the field, he almost always wore a sniper hood (he liked to keep his work separate from you- he tried not to let you see him in full gear or anything of the sort, but as far as you were concerned, the “sniper hood” looked like an old T-shirt with eye holes). But in public, it was usually just a disposable face mask. The cold had given him an excuse to switch it up a bit though, and he’d taken to wearing a hat and scarf- with one of the scarve’s loops done loose enough that it could be lifted up and over his nose and ears to cover the bottom of his face.

The two painted a stark contrast, with König wearing carefully chosen sets of layers under his windbreaker and snow pants and looking like someone properly dressed for the weather, with the other man wearing a dark leather bomber style jacket over what looked like no more than a sweater underneath.

It reminded you a bit of when you’d see how people from warmer places would dress for the cold as opposed to people from those areas- and you’d never admit it to König, but you did find it a bit funny.

König’s friends have always been a bit odd. The face covering isn't the most out of place thing you’ve seen among them. König, himself in fact, could probably be considered a bit odd. You’ve always just chalked it up to his military career.

Once the woman had rang up your things, you bid her farewell with a smile and promised to stop by again before you headed back home.

König had made quite a fuss about your purchases when you came back out, asking why you took so long and insisting that the cabin would already have everything you needed in it, and that there was no need for “backup canned chili”, as he called it.

He had seemed nearly glued to your side that day, always keeping you close by with a protective hand somewhere on you or directing you exactly where to wait for him as he sorted out issues. Hence, you being told to wait inside the store.

After finishing with his lecture on the backup chili, König sighed and took your hand, telling you to come meet the friend he’d told you about.

He starts to lead you toward the man and his truck, and as you get closer, you can see a heavy duty set of snow chains in the vehicle’s tires. When you get close to the man, König stops, pulling you tight against his side by your waist, introducing the man to you as Horangi.

For a moment, the man was silent. Simply looking you up and down before turning his head back to König.

“This is her?” He asked, not giving you so much as a second look.

You can’t see it, but you hear the rustling of his clothes as König nods his head in response. The exchange filled you with a mix of embarrassment at being spoken about like you weren’t present and awkwardness at the palpable tension between König and Horiangi.

Another second of silence passes and Horiangi gives you another look before stuffing his hand in his pocket and pulling out his keys.

“Alright. Get in.” He says, apathy audible in his tone. He pushes himself upright from where he’d been leaning against the side of his truck and turns around, walking around toward the driver's side without another word or glance.

The whole exchange had struck you as odd, but König simply patted your back, directing you towards the passenger door.

“Sorry, Schatz. He doesn’t get out much.” He says, giving you an apologetic smile before opening the passenger door of the truck and folding down the passenger seat.

You hold back a groan at the sight of a jump seat, knowing that you’ll be stuck in the undoubtedly cramped back seat for however long the drive is. You weren’t quite sure where you were expecting to sit, as the truck only even had two doors- and König certainly wouldn’t be the one climbing into the back, but the sight of the tiny, low to the ground bench seat was enough to make your legs ache just thinking about it.

You step one foot up onto the floor of the truck, using it as a step so you can squeeze through the small space left by the folded down front seat to get into the back.

You try your best to do so gracefully and not fall face first into the back, but König resting his hand on your lower back to steady you (and not at all just so he could slide his hand down towards your ass) startles you and makes you lose your footing, leaving you to slide into the back and land on your knees with a soft “oof” sound.

You shot König a small glare, not missing the smirk he fails to keep hidden- even with the scarf covering half his face.

Once you’re situated in the backseat with your seat belt buckled and your backpack handed to you, König sits the front seat back up, and you find yourself crammed into a space that’s really only meant to hold children. Leg room as a concept is nonexistent. The seat is only half a foot or so off the truck floor and there’s barely enough room for you to sit with your feet flat.

The drive had been long and quiet, but not uncomfortably so. Horangi seemed comfortable to focus on driving, navigating the snow covered roads expertly even as they wound and doubled back on themselves, and you were happy to just enjoy the scenery, watching through the window as spruce, firs, and pine trees- all with their beaches sitting heavy from the weight of snow- pass by.

Your legs ached to be stretched after sitting in such an uncomfortable position and you’d found yourself beginning to doze off during the drive. Not quite falling asleep, but leaning your head against the window frame and letting your eyes glaze over. The flight had taken a toll on you - flights, actually. Plural. Because first there was one just to get to Yellowknife, then there was another on a bush plane to actually get to the area. And the jet lag was, frankly, a bitch. 

You were jerked out of your daze when the truck stopped and König reached back, using the shoulder of the driver's seat to brace himself, and you felt his hand envelop your shoulder as he gently shook you awake.

“Schatz, we’re here.” 

You let out a groan, sitting up and waiting for König to fold forward his seat so you could get out. 

Horangi had opened his door and gotten out the moment the car stopped, jerking the parking brake up and putting the car in park before yanking out his keys and tossing them in the cup holder, not bothering to take them with him. You stared at the keys for a moment, brow furrowing.

It was easily explainable enough. You were in the middle of nowhere, there was likely no one but you three for miles. But even then, Horangi leaving his keys in his truck made you do a double take. 

Most people would’ve slipped them in their pocket out of habit at least- but maybe your and König’s presence was simply disruptive. It was clear that Horangi either wasn’t in the mood for other people, or König calling them two “friends” had been a stretch… or maybe it was you. You wouldn’t blame him for not wanting to be a third wheel.

Regardless, you got the sense that Horangi wanted to get the two of you settled as fast as possible, even if for no reason other than to get you out of his hair.

When König folded the front passenger seat down, you first helped to hand forward the stuff that’d been put in the backseat with you for the drive before climbing out- nearly falling on your face in the process, courtesy the burning in your legs from the cramped space.

Outside of the truck, you caught your balance and looked around. Horangi was nowhere in sight and König was already moving away from the car, walking towards a narrow path that cut through the conifers. You took it as a sign to follow, reaching down to pick up two bags from where they sat in the snow.

The area where the road ended was densely wooded with spruces and firs, and the fluffy snow that blanketed the ground was undisturbed aside from your little trios’ footprints and the truck’s tire tracks.

It was cold, but König had apparently known what he was doing as far as getting winter gear for you, because the temperature was manageable, despite the wind burning your face whenever you made the mistake of looking into it.

You’d hardly had the chance to take two steps before the bags you were carrying were plucked out of your hands, making you jump and yelp as you turn to see Horangi beside you.

You hadn’t heard him approaching- a feat considering how loudly the snow would crunch as anyone walked across it. You stood frozen for a moment, watching as he took the bags from you with no more than a grunt. 

“You startled me-“ you said, trying to keep a stutter from your voice. “I didn’t hear you coming.”

“People usually don’t.” Horangi says, not giving you another look or a chance to respond before he starts down the trail.

You’re left standing there, staring at the space Horangi had disappeared to. The odd response left you drawing a blank.

You were really starting to think he didn’t like you… either that, or maybe you still weren’t used to the weirdness that came with König’s friends.

[gmanwhore]

I made. An au based off a personal story concept I have! The basic gist of the story itself is that after a catastrophic global event (basically the Cold War ending because someone exploded a nuclear warhead in the ocean which terrified everyone and caused an intense amount of radiation poisoning) some people started being born with odd growths on their brains. These growths cause a disorder called Michelle's Disease or Songkindism. The disorder itself means that everyone effected is tied to a song (the song doesn't have to exist yet, don't have lore for that so just bear with me) and thus they have a defect based on said song. The defect can by physical (something on your body changes, you have weird things inside your body), internal (usually magic adjacent) or both. Songkindism usually manifests around age 11, no one is quite sure why but it's theorized it's tied to puberty. In this world every child must get screened for Songkindism, and if they are found to have it they are sent to a facility to be studied.

In this au, a few things change. The inciting incident instead happens in World War 2, and the odd extra part of the brain was found way earlier. The inciting incident is also tied to the creation of the Doppler, who are theorized to all be attached to one song which is a VERY rare occurrence. Your neighbors are songbound who were allowed to leave their facility to experiment on how Doppler react to other snowbound in their environment, and also just to see if they can live normal lives. Below is each character and their song and defect. If people like this I may do more with it!

Roman: Song: Starman (David Bowie) Defect: Made of stardust, if you breathe it in it causes a surge of hope in you. 

Lois: Song: Killer Queen (Queen) Defect: High charisma, can levitate anything dangerous/that can be made dangerous 

Albertsky:  Song: Burn It Down (The Cog is Dead)  Defect: Can burn things with hands, exceptional strength. 

Robertsky:  Song: Ragtime Punk (Abney Park) Defect: Able to see the past with perfect clarity. 

Angus: Song: Mind Brand (MARETU) Defect: Knows everyone's secrets by just looking at them. 

Selenne: Song: Mowgli's Road (MARINA) Defect: Made of plants/covered in plants, is constantly in a state of desperation though she is unsure why. 

Elenois: Song: Hermit the Frog (MARINA) Defect: Made of glass (can see organs), is constantly in a state of rage, but she’s not sure why.

Gloria: Song: Cara Mia Addio (Portal) Defect: Eyes glow, she can calm anyone down by being in the room, though nobody can pinpoint it’s her. 

Arnold: Song: 100 Years (Or3o) Defect: If he likes/is crushing/is in love with someone and they are songbound, the lyrics of their song appear on his body. 

Izaack: Song: Touch Tone Telephone (Lemon Demon) Defect: He can stick pins into himself, and when it has information attached to it he can permanently perfectly recall that information. 

Margarette:  Song: Dream Sweet in Sea Major (Miracle Musical) Defect: Moon eyes, can “wash away” things but you have to work with her.

Nacha: Song: Decepticon (La Tigre) Defect: She’s made of metal and can explode herself at will. Exploding herself has no negative consequences on her. 

Anastacha: Song: Brass Goggles (Steam Powered Giraffe) Defect: She is a robot. Like that’s it she’s a robot. 

Dr. Afton: Song: Browser History Defect: ???? (Defect hides itself)

Mia: Song: Whose Eye is it Anyways??? (Jhariah) Defect: Gave her eye for knowledge. She can see through any facade and always know the truth, but she is still missing an eye. 

Francis: Song: There's No Love in February (The Orion Experience) Defect: The sadder he is, the more he freezes over. 

Steven: Song: Toes (Glass Animals) Defect: Can steal people's aggression/anger and give it to himself. 

Mclooy:  Song: The Boys are Back in Town (To Kill You) (Jerryterry) Defect: Goes crazy when he smells blood, like a shark.

Rafttellyn:  Song: Girl With One Eye (Florence+ The Machine) Defect: Rotting from the inside once someone steals her eye. Stealing her eye usually requires her making a mistake and it becoming loose from her guilt. She currently only has one eye. 

Arcade Clown/Mono: Song: Devil’s Train (The Lab Rats) Defect: Can just kinda. Summon a ghost train. Hands out tickets instead of papers.

Mask Ghost/Julia: Song: A Crow’s Trial (Vane Lily) Defect: More bird-like (feathered arms, bird like hands and feet, wing-like appendages), and her mask looks too tight and like it hurts. Like an iron maiden.

Propaganda Content Warnings: Torture for PROFESSOR MAXWELL. Parental abuse for LOTTIE.

PROFESSOR MAXWELL:

PROPAGANDA: Aroace but too twinkified (he's been shipped with his best friend and a prisoner smh), literally meets God (scp-343) and calls him a bitch to his face, covered in scars (recent and old), feels like he's 80 when he's in his 40s, constant and deep eyebags, was shown the universe's worst horrors by God (Canon God), has been sliced in half, torn apart, beheaded, tortured by God (not Canon, me) - he goes fishing but only in the ocean on his own rowboat, the only person he can talk to confidently is his life long best friend, long, messy hair, tall but not taller than his best friend

THEME SONG:

LOTTIE:

PROPAGANDA: "Lucky" Lottie is a 28 year old woman working as a waitress in the year 1987. Her mother, who is literally a goddess, wants to kill her <3 Every time she succeeds Lottie comes back to life and the Goddess has to try again. Lottie's nickname "Lucky" is ironic because she has the worst luck EVER, entirely because her mother is trying to kill her all the time. All Lottie wants to do is make enough money to move out of the small town she was born in but her mother's constant attempts on her life are really complicating the matter. She keeps having to dig into her savings to pay her hospital bills every time she's in an accident :( Lottie does make some friends eventually though! Too bad her mother decides she wants to kill them too, and they don't come back when they die so now Lottie has to protect them and it's REALLY HARD. The Goddess has decided to make a game of it and she is having an absolute BLAST trying to off them permanently <3

THEME SONG:

SALEM:

PROPAGANDA: They get put in all of my situations. They are forcibly turned into a domestic griffin for several years. They get hunted down by bounty hunters. They run a farm and lizard chicken monsters that emit human screams for fun are the only reason their livestock is not eaten. They don't have coping mechanisms for shit. They're afraid of getting attached to people. They throw bricks at people at night. They don't know multiplication. The god-killing mushroom being doesn't like them very much. They're bilingual and bad at it. Sometimes dragons try to burn down the nearby village and they have to leave their lizard chickens in charge of the farm so they can go piss off feral griffins into fighting the dragon. They're wanted for tax evasion but they don't know what taxes are. Their lizard chickens bite them for no good reason. The feral griffins bite them for good reason. They believe big pharma's lies. They're sarcastic but don't have tone for shit so everyone just thinks they're an asshole. They're also just an asshole.

[that-darn-clown]

more thoughts on the Fnaf Rewrite. sorta based off of this song (which also has a Fnaf animatic about it, fun fact!! and it looks super cool!! here's the animatic version, it has subtitles :]) and. there's two sections of the song that i'm thinking about specifically:

"Corpses met with Hallmark afterthoughts.

Apparently they're sorry for the loss."

so like. this is just William with the MCI kids + Charlie during/after the funerals. like, William was a part of the company, and for most of the kids, he had some form of connection with their families; Gabi and Naomi were Liz's friends. it'd almost be weird for him to not extend their families the same comfort they had given him when Liz had died. for Baker and Kelsey (although Kel's body wasn't discovered until much, much later; closer to around maybe 2008-2010), their brothers were friends with Michael, and the kids themselves were close to Cassidy. again; kinda weird if he didn't say anything. same with Charlie, but with the added fact that the Aftons and Emilys were rather close together. in general, though, it was because y'know. They Kinda Went Missing/Died In One Of His Restaurants. so it would probably look suspicious if he Didn't say or do anything for the grieving families.

"It's sad but true and tough for you,

your brain's synaptic buzz is through.

Exist to die and still live on,

to haunt the ones who've done you wrong."

listen. Cassidy. Need I Say More.

Ough so I love the animatic and I love thinking about the inherent horror of William going to the kids funerals.

I was mildly jumpscared at the end of the animatic with The Afternoon by lemon demon (since ya know genloss founders cut just came out and I associate that song heavily with genloss. It threw me for a loop haha)

But ough, Cassidy, ough,

[bigstupid69]

I heard you have music hcs,,, do tell..

Honestly I feel like so many people are gonna disagree with my HCs about the choir's music taste, especially Penny and that's okay. I know she "canonically" likes boy bands and I guess Eminem?? But let me have fun. Putting it after the cut since it's LONG

To me, because I wanted to make character playlists tolerable for me, I made her like punk, alternative, and shoegaze music!! Specifically riot grrrl and queer punk, also some stuff similar to the dresden dolls but I think? They might be problematic so uh- (a lot of the bands on these playlists might not be great since they're older so my apologizes) but some of the bands on there are Bikini kill, Le Tigre, My Bloody Valentine, Lush, Dead Kennedys, Plumtree, Brat Mobile, Sleater-kinney ect. Anything that includes a lot of harsh noise and screaming pretty much.

Ocean's music headcanons are definitely going to be the most controversial to put out there since I do not like Taylor swift… And since I wanted the playlists to be something I can actually listen to I did not make her a swiftie sorry. But as someone who has listened to the entirety of the Up With People album out of curiosity (I enjoyed it a bit too much unfortunately…) I mostly based it off of that, I don't think there's much of a defined genre other than just "oldies" so... The only like recurring bands are the Beach Boys, the Beatles, and ABBA, the other various songs I've ripped from the fallout radio that I think sounded in tune with Up With People.

I already stated Noel's music taste in the previous post of their reference sheets, he's goth to put it simply, lot's of new wave included as well, plus overall romantic/sad love songs I think he'd ugly cry to, also included a bunch of old French music that I personally thought sounded nice.

Mischa's music taste is probably the easiest for everyone to agree on, (hip-hop and rap). Made him a juggalo so lots of Insane Clown Posse as well as other bands from Psychopathic Records, (him and Ezra are both juggalos sue me), also included Eminem and the Beastie boys along with more "comedic" rappers like Sir Mix a Lot and the Lonely Island. Plus Solujia Boy, Kiss Me Thru the Phone is the mischalia song ever.

Ricky's music taste is probably also usually agreed to be quirky electronic and or as some people like to call it "nerd music". Lemon demon, Daft punk, They Might Be Giants, DEVO, Oingo Boingo, The Talking Heads, Weird Al, and of course David Bowie but he's definitely separated from that genre.

Constance is the one I struggled with the most honestly. I couldn't pick one genre to describe her either, since personally I feel like she would listen to pretty much everything and be able to bond with like every choir member over bands. The only recurring artists in the playlist I made was, The Cardigans, Kimya Dawson, The Moldy Peaches, ABBA, and Wham!, but I think she pretty much likes and will listen to everything. She seems like a vocaloid fan too, I just got exhausted searching for bands and artists from before 2010 lmao.

Sorry for the word vomit, I am very dedicated when it comes to headcanons for literal dead children apparently.

[skythealmighty]

guys from a super elaborate long going groupchat rp except they're in rhythm doctor because. fun.

more info below the cut in case you're curious because. erm. yes

Test Tube is what we call Darkened! She's from a specific RP series based around SSBU, which is appropriately called SSOU. Basically we give canon characters trauma. Being Darkened, she has a bit of a penchant for chaos and a Temper, but she's also one of the go-to doctors alongside Coffee. During the most recent rp event I basically made her experience the Turn The Lights Off custom level, so that's definitely her song now and the scar on her hand is when she grabbed a knife by the blade :) She's also fiercely protective and I think would fit decently well in with the rest of the RD squad!

MH!Circle is from... an AU called Monster Hosts? But I also made them get involved with my friend's current infection AU, so... RDPossession! For backstory, it's an eldritch god that didn't really have a purpose, so they were stranded in a white void and eventually made Battle For Circle out of boredom. Its default state is a bit melty, and they can shapeshift! Generally it's extremely friendly and immune to outside interference (including possession), so they'd probably be teamed up with Ian a lot. It also can't cry, but when they're sad, they get a lot more uncontrollably melty. As for the song, I chose Rainwater by Lemon Demon because it fits its vibe a lot, and it's also a 7/8 song, furthering their immediate difference from everyone if it ever had a level!

I put way too much thought into this.

I bet you think I'm boring.

Microwave - Ricky Jamaraz

Todd x Meeks

"... Then you plug it in and Tah-Dahh!! " Meeks exclaimed, proudly showing off his new invention.

"Wow, that's incredible, " Todd replied, looking into Meeks' eyes.

Meeks paused, "you probably think I'm boring. "

He looked down, all of a sudden, meek. Todd's face plummeted.

"Hey! Of course I don't think you're boring, Meeks, you're extraordinary, you're so smart, " Todd reassured, moving closer to Meeks and hugging his shoulders.

"You think so? "

"Of course I do. " Todd kissed Meeks lightly on the nose.

Delta Echo Alpha Delta. Suicide!

Lifetime Achievement Award - Lemon Demon

Todd x Charlie

It hurt. Of course it hurt, his best friend had killed himself without warning. But it hurt more than ever. More than anything had ever hurt. Thankfully he hasn't got to go through this alone. He had Todd. Though, he was being expelled for punching Cameron. He shouldn't have done that. Really shouldn't.

Now he was sat. Todd sitting on his lap sideways and his face dug in his chest - sobbing. He shushed Todd gently, drawing circles on his back and kissing his dirty blonde hair.

He can't just leave Todd.

Sorry I didn't kiss you, But it's obvious I wanted to.

Bubblegum - Clairo

Knox x Neil

"Knox? " Neil asked, trying to snap Knox out of his long lasting trance.

"Wha- huh? Oh. Hi Neil, " Knox stammered, immediately blushing a little.

"You okay, Knoxious? " Neil leaned in a bit closer, placing his hands on the others knees.

Knox felt the heat build up on his face and neck, "yeah, sorry, some assignment. "

"I can help? " Neil offered.

"That would be great, thanks Neil, " Knox chuckled.

Then, Neil leaned in a bit closer, Knox followed with the same movement, then pulled back, "I'm sorry. "

He got up and walked out the common room, hiding his red face, "I fucked that up. "

Looking at the stars (admiring from afar).

We fell in Love in October - girl in red

Charlie x Meeks

He kept glancing at him. Okay, yes he was helping him with Latin but the way his mouth perfected each Latin phrase and word was immaculate. The freckles on his face uncountable. His glasses as thick as cream. His lips as plump as a marshmallow. He was a perfect human being. He admired him like a star, his freckles like stars almost. God, how he wished he could have him.

Love is an open door.

Love is an Open Door - Frozen

Neil x Charlie

"Hey Charlie? " Neil called, "can you help me unpack a little? "

"Of course, whatcha need? "

"Neil! This trig is making me about to vomit! " Charlie yelled across the hall.

"Fine."

"Char! I think I'm about to have a panic attack, " Neil blurted put, looking hurriedly to the open door across the hall.

"Oh Nell, I'm coming! "

"Hey Nell? What does 'te amo' mean?! " Charlie shouted.

"I love you! "

"'Night Char! I love you! " Neil smiled.

"Te Amo! "

Cute guy, nice face, wrong time, wrong place.

Trees II - McCafferty

Knox x Meeks

Meeks stared into Knox's eyes, his mouth agape. Knox waited impatiently for Meeks' answer. The anticipation stressed Meeks out immediately. He gradually got the courage to grasp Knox's hands and smile sadly.

"Knox, look- " he paused for a little- "I love you, I really do. You're a cute guy, you have a nice face, just.. It's the wrong time and wrong place. It's 1959 in an all-boys school, we're both 16... I'm sorry, Knox. "

Knox looked down and begun to cry softly. Meeks hugged him, regretting everything that just happened.

I guess I knew this would happen to you.

What Once Was - Her's

Neil x Meeks

Neil sat sadly as a diner, swirling his coke around mindlessly and starring at a wall.

"Neil? Is that you? " A voice called.

Neil looked up immediately, his eyes shone quickly.

"Meeks? " He questioned, his eyebrows furrowing.

"Neil! " Meeks smiled brightly, standing Neil up and wrapping him up in a hug.

Neil accepted, hugging him back and digging his face into the shorter man's neck.

'He smells great... And he's very muscular. ' Neil thought.

"Wow, Neil, you don't have anything on you, do you honey? " Meeks pointed out, looking forlorn.

"Yeah, " Neil chuckled awkwardly, "you're very muscular, I always thought you were the weakling? "

"Mhm, times change, I guess. " Meeks scratched his neck.

"I always knew you'd do well, and be well. I guess I always knew it would happen to you. "

Sweet like pancakes and syrup.

Like What - Joey Valence & Brae

Todd x Meeks

"Something smells nice, " Todd muttered lazily, shuffling into the kitchen.

"I'm cooking breakfast, " Meeks replied, smiling as he flipped a pancake perfectly.

Todd lit up and he hugged Meeks from behind, his arms around the others waist.

"You're as sweet as this breakfast. "

"I know I am, Meeksie. "

In my life, I hope that I lie.

No Children - The Mountain Goats

Knox x Charlie

"You're seeing Chris, aren't you? " Charlie snarled, his eyes full of fury.

"What do you mean, Char? " Knox's eyebrows furrowed.

Charlie sighed angrily, squeezing the bridge of his nose with his index finger and his thumb. He then crossed his arms.

"Don't act like I haven't seen you, it's so obvious, Knox! Don't lie, " Charlie growled.

"I- Char... Please, I haven't. "

"Leave, go to your dorm and pathetic Chris. "

'Cause I like it, yeah, I like it.

LIKE IT - Waterparks

Todd x Charlie

Charlie nibbled at Todd's neck, his hands roaming Todd's back under the knitted, wool sweater. Todd bit his lip, pulling Charlie closer by his hips.

"You're desperate, aren't 'ya Hot Toddy? "

"I like it. "

I can tell just what you want (you don't want to be alone)

What You Know - Two Door Cinema Club

Meeks x Charlie

He sat, scribbling down some trig. This wasn't out of the ordinary, he was always studying, or helping a friend. He overworked himself, sure, but it didn't bother him.

Oh god, did it bother Charlie.

"Come on, Meeks! Have some fun, " Charlie exclaimed, sprawling himself out of Meek's bed next to him.

"Go away Charlie, I'm trying to study. " Meeks shot him a look.

"I know what you want, you don't what to be alone. " Charlie smirked, crawled closer and swiped his finger across Meeks' freckled nose.

Meeks blushed, "fine.. "

Two Kids and a Golden Retriever.

History Hates Lovers - Oublaire

And so it was official, Knox and Meeks were a thing. It was a cute, they were very lovey dovey, much to Charlie's delight. But now almost, the Dead Poets had come more of a family dynamic. Knox and Meeks, parents. Todd and Neil the kids. Charlie the golden retriever. Much like a family dynamic, it was cute. Oh, Pitts was the uncle, Meeks' best friend.

Knox x Meeks

He was sweet, he said I was smart.

Kindergarten Boyfriend - Heather's

Meeks x Pitts

"You're smart, Meeksie. "

His heart fluttered and his face flushed a shade of pink. Pitts was the perfect boy for Meeks. Tall, scrawny, caring, empathetic, sarcastic and everything in between. He was sweet. It was everything Meeks could've ever dreamed, honestly.

"Thanks Pittsie, you're sweet. "

Pitts' heart skipped a beat as his neck heated up. Meeks was perfect for Pitts. Short, secretly muscular, caring, empathetic, sarcastic and everything in between. He was smart. It was everything Pitts could've ever dreamed, honestly.

We both enjoy an empty cafe.

We both - 36 questions, Jonathan Groff & Jessie Shelton

Neil x Pitts (kinda platonic)

"Huh, it's empty. Is it open? " Pitts asked, looking down beside him to the shorter boy.

"Yeah, it said open on the door.. Maybe it's not that busy on Sundays? " Neil replied, scanning the room to see nobody but an exhausted waiter.

They walked to a booth and sat across from each other. They both ordered a coffee and begun to chat about school while absentmindedly holding each other's hands. The waiter secretly smiled and giggled at them, definitely aware they didn't know they were holding hands and were dangerously close. It was cute.

They happen to go to the same cafe a few times after, making friends with the waiter who went to Welton also, Stefan, or Stick.

Us two wanted to get X-rated. SMUT!

Don't Lose Ur Head - SIX, Christina Modestou

Knox x Charlie

"Jesus Knox! You're as hard as the fucking Burj Khalifa! " Charlie grunted as Knox grinded against him.

"Char.. That literally makes no sense at all, " Knox chuckled as he sloppily kissed Charlie's neck.

Charlie moaned quietly, gripping harshly onto Knox's hips as his own almost buckled.

"Nothing makes sense when we're both as hard as the shard.. It's gonna make me turn British in a moment, Jesus Christ Knoxio! "

"You're better than that, Char. "

Knox pushed Charlie harder against the dorm wall, earning another moan from Charlie

"GODDAMN!! LOCK THE DOOR! " Cameron screeched, slamming the door and running off.

But I don't need the comfort of any lies.

Notion - The Rare Occasions

House x Wilson

"How many times did I tell you she was gonna divorce you in under 2 years? " House remarked, a smirk upon his face as he swirled the liquor around in the glass.

"A lot.. But I really thought she was the one! " Wilson exclaimed, taking a swig of his glass.

"You've said that about 3/3 divorces now. "

"Like you've ever been married.. "

"Wilson, we're technically married at this point. "

"Fair point. "

They sat in silence for a bit. Drinking recklessly.

"I've always appreciated your harsh truth. " Wilson smiled.

"You're just special, aren't you? "

"Sure, I guess you can say that. "

Can I sleep in your bed?

Father - The Front Bottoms

Meeks x Todd

Todd panicked silently, his hands trembling slightly and his breathing hitched. Meeks sat behind him at his desk, scribbling down trig at the ungodly hour of 3 AM. it was clear he was exhausted, though he also panicked that he'd fail the trigonometry test two weeks away and needed to study. Todd didn't understand why he was so nervous to ask, he knew he'd say yes. But what if he didn't? What if he thought it was weird at 16-17. He took a deep breath.

"Canisleepinyourbed? " He spluttered out, taking a big deep breath afterward.

"What did you say Todd? " Meeks asked, his eye brows knitting and him cocking his head slightly.

Todd breathed in shakily, "can- can I sleep in your bed? "

"Of course Todd, of course you can. "

He's well dressed (not funny).

Girls & Boys - Good Charlotte

Meeks x Knox

"Whatcha' think? " Meeks asked, stepping out his dorm and into the hallway to be met with Charlie and Knox.

Knox turned red almost immediately, Meeks looked immaculate. Charlie started to laugh.

"You're going to the shops dressed like that? You trying to look like a 60 year old? " Charlie chuckled.

"I- I think he looks nice actually. "

"Of course, because you definitely like him. "

"I do not! "

Has been rough (kinky!). Slight smut!

Sincerely, me - Ben Platt, Mike Faist, Will Roland

Meeks x Charlie

Roughhousing in the dorms was normal, especially for Meeks and Charlie. Meeks usually minded his own business while Charlie swiftly swooped Meeks off of his feet, pinned him to the floor and kissed him.

"God, you're so rough aren't you? " Meeks rolled his eyes, still under Charlie ok the floor.

"It's kinky. "

I could sleep for weeks.

RITUAL - Waterparks

Todd x Neil x Charlie

It was normal now, Cameron was used to having no dormmate most nights. And Neil and Todd were used to having an extra most nights. Non of them minded, if anything they preferred it to normal.

It was an adorable scene. Three teenage, in love boys squished in a single bed in a strict all-boys boarding school. Todd was hugged by Neil who was hugged by Charlie. Neil wrapped his arms around Todd's waist and his face dug into his hair. Charlie spooned Neil, his one arm around his waist and other under his own head, his legs wrapped around the others.

"I could sleep for weeks... " Charlie whispered, then felt Neil smile.

Use the sleeves of my sweater.

Sweater Weather - The Neighborhood

Knox x Charlie

"I just can't do it! " Charlie shouted, hurling his pencil to the wall and harshly getting up.

He then threw himself on his bed and curled up against the wall and begun to cry, purely from frustration.

"Hey, hey. Char, you can, " Knox comforted, getting up and sitting next to Charlie.

Charlie bawled, his face pushed firmly into his arms and knees.

"No.. Knoxious, you don't understand, I really can't do it! I'm gonna fail so bad oh god... " He whispered, rocking back a forward and little and now begining to hyperventilate.

"Woah, woah Char. " Knox wrapped his arms around Charlie, "you're not gonna fail. "

Charlie lifted his head to look at Knox's tearful eyes. Knox brought his hand up with Charlie's cheeks and dabbed the tears away with the sleeve of his soft, knitted sweater.

"You think so? "

"Of course, Char. "

Three times I nearly came to ruin. Suicide!

Our Word - 36 Questions & Jessica Shelton

Todd x Charlie

1.

Todd held the gun in his clearly trembling hands. Sobbing fiercely. He placed his finger on the trigger but did nothing. He waited, almost for someone to save him. That happened.

"Todd? What are you doing? OUT THE GUN DOWN TODD! " Charlie screamed.

2.

Charlie popped out the 10 pills from their silver foil wrapping. He rolled them around in his hand. As if he were contemplating. Yet he was, though, oh so how he wanted to do it and get it over with. He didn't cry. Until after the tried incident.

"Charlie. Put the pills down, " Todd snarled, his voice becoming unusually deep.

3.

Todd held the rope in his hands, yet not trembling this time. He stared at the thinner ropes tangled together to make a bigger one. He decided to tie it up on a tree, make a loop big enough for his head just to fit in it. He slipped his head in it, tighted it and stepped off of the log.

"Jesus Todd! " Charlie shouted, catching Todd in his arms, both now crying.

You're sayin' all the words I'm dreamin'.

The Adults Are Talking - The Strokes

Charlie x Meeks

'I love you' were the words Charlie wanted to hear. Maybe from his parents, older brother, Neil, Pitts- hell, anyone. Though, there was a lurking feeling that somehow overruled the ordinary. He wanted to hear it from Meeks. The perfect boy, the nerd, the geek, yet the romantic. Charlie wanted to hear him sing it, mumble it, growl it, just say it. He wanted to hear it so bad.

So many missed chances and nothing happened.

Though it happened today.

"Oh, I love you, Charlie! " Meeks exclaimed.

You'll always be a dumb blonde.

Blue Hair - TV Girl

Meeks x Todd

"I can't do it, Meeks, " Todd muttered, rolling his pencil on his notebook and covering his eyes with the palms of his hands.

"Well, you need to do it, or you'll fail, " Meeks deadpanned.

"I-I know, I just can't! The words don't flow nicely, and- and the stanzas are all uneven! " Todd exclaimed.

"Well you're just a dumb blonde, you wouldn't get it, " Meeks chuckled.

He woke up in a cold sweat, breathing heavily. He sat up sharply.

"Are you okay? " Meeks groaned, sitting up next to Todd.

"I-I just had a nightmare, " Todd muttered, rubbing his eyes.

"You sure you're okay, Honey? "

"Yeah- yeah. "

Haven't you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door HEAVY SMUT!

I Write Sins Not Tragedies - Panic! At The Disco

Charlie x Knox

Charlie moaned deeply as he gripped onto Knox's brunette hair, guiding his mouth to bob his head up and down. Knox hummed, trying not to gag. He gripped the base, gently stroking it. Charlie shuddered.

"WHY IS IT ALWAYS ME?! " Cameron shouted, covering his eyes and slamming the door.

The two boys giggled.

Just sit and talk.

The Me Inside of Me - Heather's

Pitts x Neil (platonic)

Neil perched on Pitts' bed, leaning his back against the wall and snuggling up to Pitts. He swung his arm over Neil's shoulders and looked at him with a tint of concern.

"You okay, Neil? " He asked, cocking his head a little.

"Yeah, just been a little overwhelmed with work lately, " Neil sighed and placed his head on Pitts' shoulder.

"Yeah, I get it. "

"Any advice? "

"Eat, drink, sleep and take a break, " Pitts chuckled.

"Yeah, yeah. I will do that. " Neil smiled.

I will change my ways. Trans pregnancy!

The Cave - Mumford & Sons

House x Wilson

"Are you sure you want this, House? " Wilson asked, his eyes quickly becoming glassy.

House sighed happily and giggled softly. He grasped both of Wilsons hands and smiled as he looked him in the eyes.

"Of course I want this, Honey. I promise, I really do want this. I want to grow old with you, with our kids, " House replied.

"Really? "

"Of course. "

House's hands trailed down to Wilsons presently flat stomach, gently placing his hands upon the dress shirt. Wilson chuckled, pulling House into his embrace.

"I'll change, I promise. "

"You can stay the same, I love you for who you are. "

My baby, My baby.. Suicide!!

I Bet on Losing Dogs - Mitski

Meeks x Charlie

Meeks held the knife to his throat. Threatening to end it all, a nice big slit through the middle, collapse, bleed out and die. Right on the dirty, old dormroom floor. Perfect way to go for pity. But, he doesn't quite want pity. He wants acceptance and comfort, not pity. Pity meant sympathy and empathy, he hated that as that was his job, nobody needed to worry about him. No, he was fine, he has a great life - from their knowledge - and is incredibly intelligent.

"Meeks, stop, " Charlie's voice yelled.

Meeks immediately dropped the knife and fell to his knees.

Charlie dropped down next to him and embraced the shaking huddle.

"Shhh.. Shh, " he whispered, "my baby, my baby, it's okay, shhh. "

Meeks melted into the embrace, sobbing uncontrollably and hiding his face in Charlie's chest.

Oh god, he blew it.

Return to our normal lives.

Looking Out for You - Joy Again

Meeks x Pitts (platonic)

"You okay, Meeksie? " Pitts asked, eyeing the smaller boy up and down.

"Yeah, just a little cold y'know? " Meeks replied, chuckling softly as his teeth chattered and he shivered.

"Is it because they took your coat? " Pitts gestured to Meeks' now cold, damp coat on the cave floor with crumbs on it.

"A little, but I'll be fine. " Meeks smiled and rubbed his hands together desperately.

With a swift motion, Pitts removed his coat and placed it on Meeks' trembling shoulders.

"Better? "

"Thanks, Pittsie. "

"Here's your coat, as he have to go back to out normal lives, " Meeks giggled.

"Yeah, thanks. It's a shame, isn't it? "

"Yeah, yeah- it really is. "

Lone Star - The Front Bottoms

House x Wilson

"Ducklings! I have some spectacular news on the physical toll on your other dad, " House declared, swinging his bag on the chair as Wilson trailed behind him.

The three gave a confused look, all seeming to cock their heads in the same direction.

"Other dad? " Foreman spoke up.

"Yes! Remember, dad H and dad W? " House replied, matter-of-factly.

Wilson rolled his eyes and sighed, "he still hasn't told you? "

"No, what's happening? " Cameron questioned.

"I can't believe you haven't told them. " Wilson shook his head at House, "me and House are married, have been for over a decade now. "

"I'm sorry, what? " Chase's mouth opened agape.

"Ducklings, are you familiar with the term: 'transgender'? " House asked innocently.

The three nodded their heads slowly.

"Well, my husband here happens to be that. And addition to that information, we're having a kid, " House explained, smiling proudly as he hobbled behind Wilson and placed his hands on Wilsons 3 month-swollen stomach from behind.

Wilson sighed.

"Congratulations, you two. "

"Congrats."

"I was not expecting that. "

Love is a doing word.

Teardrop - Massive Attack (House intro)

House x Wilson (again)

"I'm not physical, " House declares, plopping himself down next to Wilson on the couch.

"I know, isn't it quite obvious by now? " Wilson retorts back, shooting House a glance.

"Well I hope so. "

House looks down and twiddles his thumbs. Oh, how he secretly longed for Wilsons soft, gentle, chaste touch. They were married, he's experienced it, but oh how he wanted more.

"You know, love is a doing word, " Wilson suddenly explains, looking over at House with an unreadable expression.

"Oh, is it now? " House remarks with a snort.

"Yeah." Wilson reaches for House's hand, gently grasping it. "Like it? "

"Yeah.. I do. "

There's darkness all around.

Messages from the Stars - The Rah Band.

Meeks x Charlie

It was their first night in their new, shared apartment. They slept together, huddled on an old, cheap double mattress on the floor, taking in the atmosphere. It was dark all around them. Meeks hugged close, his head rested on Charlie's chest, intertwining their hands and smiling. It was nice to have their own place.

"I love you, Meeksie. "

"Love you too, Char. "

You are sweetness.

We'll Never Have Sex - Leith Ross

Todd x Meeks

"I love you Todd, " Meeks said as he kissed Todd.

"Awh, I love you too. " Todd smiled into the kiss.

They kissed for a while. Chaste, passionate, slow kisses. No greed or hunger, just acceptance and pleasure. It was a nice.

"Your lips are so sweet, " Meeks muttered.

"I ate some ice cream before this, " Todd giggled.

"Nah, they're sweet anyway. "

Wondering if your hearts still open.

Do I Wanna Know? - Arctic Monkeys

Neil x Charlie

Neil had recently been dumped by his now ex-girlfriend and acted as if it was indeed the end of the world. Charlie half wanted to be supportive, half wanted to tell him to stop being melodramatic and half ask him out. Charlie had liked Neil for years, from age 7 to age 15, aka, now. Charlie chose to comfort Neil, yet he really, really wanted to ask him out.

"I don't understand! She really liked me, " Neil muttered.

"Yeah, sorry bud. "

They sat in silence for a little longer until Charlie went out on a limb.

"Is your heart still open? " he asked.

"Wha-? "

"Will you go out with me? "

Hey little boy, gee, you sure look fine.

Hey Little Girl - Professor Longhair

Knox x Charlie

"Is that your way of cat calling? " Charlie questioned, furrowing his eyebrows in a concerned matter.

"Yeah, what's up with it? " Knox asked.

"It's horrendous, that's basically sexual harassment at this point, " Charlie chuckled.

"Whoops."

"It's more than whoops! Here, let me show you how to flirt. "

Charlie stepped away.

He approached Knox with a smile on his face, "hey, beauty. "

Knox blushed, "hi."

Charlie grabbed Knox by the hips and immediately kissed him. Knox kissed back, turning as red as blood. Charlie's hands made their way down to Knox's arse, placing his hands in the pockets, snagging his wallet and bolting off.

"Charlie! " Knox sighed, accepting his wallet was just stolen, and there wasn't anything he could do.

Pain is never Permanent.

December - Neck Deep

Neil x Meeks (oooh new one)

Meeks walked into Neil and Todd's dorm, scanning the room to see Neil curled up on his bed, trembling a little.

"Hey, hey. It's alright, " Meeks comforted, quickly sliding next to him and wrapping his arms around the frame.

Neil recognized the voice and nuzzled into him, sobbing harder.

Once Neil had calmed a little, he looked up to see Meeks. Meeks cupped his face with his one hand, stroking his cheek gently with his thumb.

"Pains never permanent, you know that right? "

Watch a sad film with your boyfriend.

If I Saw Him, I'd Still Kiss Him - McCafferty

Meeks x Todd

"He could've definitely fit! " Meeks exclaimed, tossing the remote to his side while tears streamed down his face.

"I know honey, but it would've tipped, " Todd explained, hugging Meeks close.

what even inspired you to make light of your sol?

why did you make sol, neil, or broncrow?

i’m always really curious when it comes to inspirations!

—✨

OH BOY THIS IS A FUN ONE

Light of your Sol as a whole is inspired by the song “Birdhouse in Your Soul” by They Might be Giants. I adore the concept that nightlights are descendants of lighthouses, and from there it was just me fucking around

Broncrow’s design is very inspired by Riddler (zero year, specifically) because I loved the Zorro inspiration, and Tim Sale’s Scarecrow (it’s just such a good design). Broncrow himself actually stared as a Monster Prom OC, where I shipped him with another character. In that depiction of him he was actually cupioromantic (he still is) and the ship was more of a mental exploration of my personal frustrations with being cupioromantic.

Neil is inspired off HEAVILY off of my personal favorite slasher, Billy Lenz, and the alternates from the Mandela Catalogue. I actually got his name from a strategy I like to use: listing off random names in my head. I landed on Neil Cicierega and he looked like a Neil and it rhymed with “meal.” So Neil is named after Lemon Demon

Sol is pretty simple, based off a nightlight with elements of Xurkitree in their design. I wanted to base their mask off of the Sun for obvious theming, but yeah! Those are the main insps for LOYS with some fun trivia

VOTE FOR STEPH IN @lemon-demon-oc-tournament !!!!!

I don't have any art for him yet, BUT I shall make you fall in love with him via the power of words!

Steph is based off the song "My Trains", and wouldn't you know it, this kid loves trains more than life itself! And that's only a little bit of an exaggeration. Who knows what the mystical allure of the train is - perhaps it's the horns blaring an angel's choir in your ears, perhaps its the way they speed across their tracks like a cheetah sprinting through a safari, perhaps he's simply drawn to the feats of engineering like a moth drawn to a flame. He lives and breathes trains - you should see the collection he has in his basement! He's constantly doodling them, thinking about them, reading about them, daydreaming about them...

Speaking of daydreams, Steph is an avid daydreamer. More often than not, reality can be...upsetting. Things in life tend not to go well for him. His parents rarely show an interest in him unless it's to get on him for things he does wrong. They support him in the material department - after all, they do fund his miniature railroads - but in the emotional department, they haven't a clue. Steph feels as though he can't come out as transgender to his parents, fearing they just wouldn't understand. In fact, he fears most people don't understand him. He can't fathom why people think his obsession with trains is weird - why even other train enjoyers find his passion over the top. That confusion morphs into anger very easily...and so he finds himself alone in school and among his peers. He daydreams to cope with this. In his head he can be in a world where anything is possible; where you're weird for NOT liking trains, where he can be his own conductor, where his parents love him and his hobbies, where he can get the haircut he wants and wear a binder whenever he feels like, where people won't bully him for his weight or his braces or his temper or his trains.

He spends most of his time in his parents' basement. That's where all his trains are and where he's set up shop for the most part. There's nothing more relaxing to fall asleep to than the soothing sounds of a mini train running around the tracks littering his room...did I mention he has a train bed? His parents find it childish, but found out the hard way that he would not sleep in anything else. He also has a whistle that sounds like a train horn, as well as a conductor's hat that he never ever takes off. Not if it can be helped, at least. Posters litter the wall showcasing various models of trains and railroads and newspaper articles about trains and railroads. He criticizes whenever media gets something wrong about a train, or whenever people get facts about them wrong, and will be instantly sure to throw various fun facts at you regardless of if you showed any interest or not.

Because of his temper issues and the fact that he knows how to get around without his parents knowing, Steph has a pretty bad rep. It was by pure luck that he didn't get severe repercussions from the beat down he gave to the asshat that insulted his trains. He tends to sneak out, to not go home after school, to stick around the wrong sort of crowd... or just make bad decisions in general. He knows his parents don't care, as evident by the several times they remarked that they hadn't even known he'd been gone when he'd returned. So he just...does what he wants. One time he even went train hopping with one of his only friends, who he had a brotherly bond with until he was found dead in his own workshop. Steph hasn't had many friends since that, and yet he still finds himself regularly visiting the arcade they frequented.

Anyways, that's Steph!!! Vote for him!!! And good luck to everyone else participating!!!

I think I'll go for 4, 5 and 24—dealer's choice as to which of Artagan, Ludinus or Ira (or any npc, really. They don't get enough love.)

oh you have no idea the can of warms you've opened, lol.... i will happily do all 3!

this got so long i actually had to put a read more:

4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?

artagan - it isnt media per say but i really want to set him loose in our own reality and see what he'd do (there have been some hints i think, if half-jokingly said, that hes been here - boy do i think about that often.)

ira - we really should just let him star in his own horror movie. you could put him in a guillermo del toro film, and no one would bat an eye.

ludinus - i want to see how lud would react to faerun. a world so close to his own, but where the weave of magic is directly controlled by a god. there is an odd dichotomy in that faerun is more controlled than exandria and yet breaking that universe's laws are infinitely easier, and i think he would fall into obsession with that.

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

so.... im gonna (un)ashamedly plug my playlists for them here.... please ignore that they can go as long as twelve fucking hours.... ill try to narrow down specific songs that REALLY hit about them, though.

artagan - "within you" by david bowie, from labyrinth, is a perfect fit. not only is arti based on jareth but the song's meaning directly ties into him & jester. jareth is terrified of being nothing more than a lost concept, a lost celebrity crush made fae king, as sarah is metaphorically maturing. "how you turn my world, you precious thing/You starve and near exhaust me/Everything I've done, I've done for you/I move the stars for no one..." i mean, c'mon. "family of me" by ben folds, "celebrity status" by mariana's trench, "lapis lazuli" by the oh hellos, and "due west" by kelsey lu also really hit as arti songs for me.

ira - "mad iqs" by i dont know how but they found me is a really good song for ira's hatred of ludinus. "a mask of my own face" by lemon demon is self explanatory and far too specific, due to his fascination with ashton's mask of him, with the song mentioning "dancing with all the bells". he would go wild for and try to emulate "thriller" by michael jackson or "i cant decide" by the scissor sisters.

ludinus - if i did a speedpaint of lud, id set it to "science fiction" by church of the cosmic skull. "and all the people, they stood on their chairs, and they stared, at the man with the silver hair/taken the findings of the science man/raising his hands to the air!/so he's making the minds up of the millions, and they'd never deny that he's right/cause he's taken a prize of many a size/if ever he dies he'll have a tombstone of a very high height". "brutus" by the buttress is ABSOLUTELY a ruby vanguard trio song and i even used it in my art of them before. "all history is vengeance" by brad derrick from the eso soundtrack is what goes through my head at the malleus key. "blood upon the snow" by hozier & "never look away" by vienna teng also really work for him. i think "survivors guilt" by emily axford (yeah, prism) also has lyrics FAR too tailored to him - "i see you in my dreams/young, and brave, and pre-calamity/i will tell you a story/i will be the voice you lost too soon/because even in your absence, even in your death/im still your moon".

24. What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?

(i wouldnt say im in the fandoms for all of these, but)

artagan - i think it somewhat obvious he's based off of jareth in labyrinth - his voice is basically david bowie's singing voice. to a lesser but still strong degree he's very much marvel's loki, down to the voice - if, honestly, an infinitely better take on the trickster god. as a past extreme loki fan the pipeline is there for sure.

ira - ashley said she & matt based fearne's story off a guillermo del toro film and i can see that in many fae this go-round, especially ira. he is basically a doug jones character. it's very easy to compare him to creepypastas like the russian sleep experiment or slenderman, too.

ludinus - he has some heavy similarities to emperor belos of owl house, vyrthur of tes, prince nuada from hellboy, and other characters who fit the archetype of a white-haired, ancient, pale elven (or elven passing) man, from a different time, who murders & (in some cases) colonizes to exact vengeance on gods, humans, or similar entities he feels have destroyed those around him. characters clearly in the wrong but who do bring up important topics of the endless cycle of brutality they were caught in, mixed with their privelege in every other circumstance. he also reminds me of mannimarco of tes. they look exactly alike and both shadow run an empire, somewhat in cahoots and yet at odds with a balding white haired pale human man within that same empire. oh! and fëanor from the silmarillion.

thanks for asking! sorry this is so long, floodgates are opened when i discuss men i wish were my fictional partners, lol.
