#bee keepers suit

[bewarethecircles]

After a vacation in Alpha Centauri, Gabriel and Beelzebub come back to earth and move in together. They proceed to be the worst and most baffling neighbors anyone in the neighborhood has ever experienced. 

They introduced themselves as Bee and Jim, but immediately started laughing about it, so people are pretty sure those aren't their real names. 

Neither of them seem to have jobs, but they must be rich, because their house is massive and they're always wearing fancy clothes, and their wallets are bursting with money. Maybe they’re in the mafia?

Speaking of fancy clothes, “Jim” is always wearing designer suits. There is an ongoing game where people attempt to take a picture of him in any other clothes. One time, an enterprising teenager went so far as to sneak over in the middle of the night to look into his bedroom (hoping he’d be in pajamas), and saw him still in a suit, Standing on Top of the Bed, eyes wide open and Smiling Brightly. (Gabriel has not gotten the hang of sleeping yet.) (The teenager refuses to go near the house ever again.)

The short one, “Bee,” is consistently trailed by flies. This is alarming to everyone. They say that they're a “fly-keeper,” but people are pretty sure that's not a thing. Do they carry rotting meat around or something?

Bee also seems to be constantly changing appearances. One day they have a buzz cut, the next day their hair goes to their mid-back. Their eyes are a different colour every time you see them. People have set up cameras to take pictures of them on different days, and upon comparing them they are Definitely almost 6 inches taller this week. Even their facial features shift. 

It gets to the point where people decide Jim must just have multiple partners, and be lying about it. (“Multiple partners that all look similar and are never seen together?” the opposition will point out. When asked if they have a better theory, they can never answer.)

The two of them will have romantic moments Anywhere, including standing in the middle of the highway staring into each others eyes. By all rights they should have been run over, but in a bizarre coincidence every car in the area ran out of fuel and stopped moving at that exact moment. People want to blame Jim for it (he did make a strange hand movement, after all), but that would just be absurd.

They use the absolute worst pet names for each other. A list of overheard ones is being recorded. “My rotten cabbage?” “My hell-bringer?” “Dearest packet of crisps??” 

You cannot let them notice that you're disgusted by their lovey-doveyness. They will either get exponentially more cringey, or straight up insult you until you run away crying. Or both. 

“Everyday” by Buddy Holly will be audible to the whole block at all times. Do they know other songs exist? Don't they get bored of this one?? Why is it so loud???

There’s a statue of Jim in the front yard. Its 20 feet tall and definitely a HOA violation, but people are too scared to mention it. Both Bee and Jim will come out at different times and spend hours staring at it dreamily. 

People would hate them, but ever since they moved in the weather has been perfect, crime is at an all time low, and there’s little trucks that go around selling hot chocolate, and those things Probably cant be because of them, but still...

Plus, Jim doesn’t understand how money works at all, so he’ll give you $300 for a bag of chips. It's endearing, even if he is sometimes a jerk.

Bee does seem to know how money works, but they’ll frequently pay even more than Jim, especially if the person seems overworked and the place is under-staffed. They say they have experience with it.

After a month of them living there, most of the neighborhood is in a group chat created to discuss the two of them. Beelzebub is secretly in the chat, and reads their favourite theories to Gabriel. 

A rumour starts going around that they're an angel and a demon in disguise, but no one can agree which one is which. 

Beelzebub is the one who started the rumour. 

If anyone writes a fic with any of this by all means tag me I'd love to see it!!

[mythicalmeowz]

I’ve been wanting to make ref sheets, sort of, for how i draw all the different FOP characters. So starting with Cupid, here’s some of my notes!:

1. He was born "Eros", to parents Mars and Venus. And he’s from Mount Olympus.

2. He's an angel, not a fairy, and technically a god. Though, unlike most of the gods the fairies worship, he chose to adopt a new name (Cupid) and took up a celebrity status down in Fairy World later in life.

2. Not pictured very well here, but he has hypotropia (misalignment of the eyes, where one pupil points downward) caused by a cataract in the left eye. When he was younger, it badly affected his ability to aim with a bow, but as he's aged he's learned how to use it to his advantage. He sometimes will feel against surfaces nearby to get around, or he'll use a cane.

3. He made his suit himself. Since he's an angel living in fairy world, it's difficult to find clothes that take in to account his wings; he has to make them himself or alter preexisting clothes.

4. again, also not pictured. but he's a bee keeper. Based off of the old mythology story "Cupid and the Bee", where, after Cupid's stung by a bee and runs off to his mother, Aphrodite/Venus compares the sting of the bee to the sting of Cupid's arrows

5. mlm aroacespec. i love the idea of an aroace cupid. maybe that’s projection on my part, but hear me out for a second. he gives the gift of which he will never receive.

please feel free to ask me anything about my headcanons/ideas! i’d love to yap about it 🫶

honey: “y’want some honey in your tea?”

danny: “sure, thanks.”

[ a clanking sounds of what must be a spoon is heard in the background of the recording ]

honey: “anytime, sweets.”

danny: “wait, i’ve seen this before.”

honey: “huh?”

danny: “this company. isn’t that — wait that’s your last name ain’t it?”

honey: “yeah, my pa’s a bee keeper. ma jars the honey with some top secret ingredient that’s got the town buzzin’. whole family business.”

danny: “ah, no wonder you got that nickname.”

honey: “yep, since the womb.”

danny: “interestin’. did benny know that when he met ya?”

honey: “hm…not that i know of. might of. if he didn’t, m’sure johnny must of told him.”

danny: “how’d you meet benny then?”

honey: “how’d i meet benny?”

danny: “yeah.”

honey: “well…you know, i was just mindin’ my own business. working a regular school day at the elementary school on phipps. i was teaching the third grade at the time and johnny’s girls just so happened to be in my class. the main office sent me a note in the middle of the day informing me that the girls would be picked up by their uncle benny. i didn’t think too much of it at the time, hey it wasn’t unusual for kids to be picked up by extended family members, y’know? but i guess i — i had this vision of what he’d be like. fucked up i know, but ya see, i knew johnny. not in the way one would expect. [ honey laughs ] johnny was — well he was mr. davis to me, respectfully so, just like any parent would be to one of my students. but he was also the mr. davis i knew from mass at st. caron’s on the corner of rose and dawn. he’d be walkin’ around in a suit and tie, the whole get up, solemn as he ushered pew to pew with the collections basket for the poor and during communion on sundays 12pm sharp.

danny: “interesting. so i suspect you saw johnny rather often then?”

honey: “oh yeah, every week. went with my ma and pa all the time and like clock work he was there. such a clean cut dignified family man. so it was no surprise for me to be taken aback by benny’s appearance when he pulled up at the school yard.”

danny: “did he bring his bike?”

honey: “hell no! had johnny’s car. ‘twas a real trip with his colors on and a cigarette propped between those pillowly lips of his.”

danny: [ laughs ] “i can imagine. when was this exactly?”

honey: “oh it had to be close to the end of june, right before the start of the summer of ‘65. school was just about ending. had a week left or so. oh yeah — yeah, i remember cause it was real hot out too — sweltering heat, like that sticky kind that can only be equated to bein’ stuck in a classroom with a half broken fan. aw it was the worst. i had on this baby pink tank of sorts with thick straps under this overall dress i decked out a while back. it was real cute. had all these flowers and things i embroidered on it.

danny: “right, the embroidery. heard a thing or two about bedazzled patches on the vandal jackets.”

honey: “‘course you did. the skill got me going with the boys. when sonny started riding with ‘em he let me bejewel the fringes of his jacket real pretty. always a good sport. but anyways — yeah so i had this cute little get up on and my hair was all up and out of my face, real messy for the 60s. kinda stuck out like a sore thumb at school, but what shits did i give?

danny: “none?”

honey: “damn right. so yeah, it was kind of funny when benny came strolling up to me, weaving through all the parents like a puzzle piece that didn’t quite fit one bit.”

danny: “what were your first impressions of him?”

honey: “i was impressed to say the least. only had my reservations for what — half a minute? yeah, i’d say a good thirty seconds before i was smiling up at him.”

danny: “did he scare you? scare any of the parents, other teachers?”

honey: “i wasn’t scared of him no…as for the others, sure. mrs. rubin was all this and that and the other thing ‘bout him after that, especially when it got more serious and he was waitin’ round the school. she didn’t appreciate the loitering, but he was harmless, as harmless as benny could be. though, i was more refreshed really to see somebody so interesting….so different from everybody else. it made me feel seen, y’know?”

danny: “so what happened next? when he got to you?”

honey: “he’s standin’ in front of me and i’m bein’ a good egg with both girls at my sides, small fingers wrapped around each hand, and i go ‘hi, you must be uncle benny. i’m miss. honey.’ and he takes a good minute to give me a once over, like introducing myself was the craziest thing i could of done. then that thick smokey voice of his went “honey, huh?” and my tummy rumbled up so much so i was sure the butterflies i stitched ripped right off and flew about my dress. [ honey laughs again ] i was kind of just like ‘yep, that’s me’ or whateva, and god i was so sure i fucked it all up.”

danny: “how come?”

honey: “anyone that knows benny knows he’s not a man of many words by any means, so at the time i took his silence as a sign of unimpression. i mean if you took a look at us two — and i mean a quick glance or somethin’, we definitely seemed like an odd pair. but if you really looked rather closely, takin’ the time to absorb every detail, i’d definitely say we were far more similar past the common eye. but, i’ll go into that later. [ honey pauses for a moment ] sorry did i answer the question?”

danny: “you did, you did.”

honey: “good, good….so where was i?”

danny: “you were talkin’ about introducing yourself to benny and him being unimpressed.”

honey: “right, so one of johnny’s girl starts gettin’ all antsy. wants to go. has herself practically all over benny in a beg. her sister — no. her sister doesn’t wanna. the little thing has her hand practically chain locked to mine. so i did what any teacher would do and sweet talked her into going.”

danny: “how’d you manage that?”

honey: “i reminded her that her pa was a good man. that his interests were just as important as her own. that was all it took really.”

danny: “did you still think that later on? still do? after everything?

honey: [ honey sighs and puts out a cigarette she’d been smoking throughout the session ] “i did and i still do. i know some people will say that johnny was no good, that his club only created chaos. really though, the johnny i knew was trying to keep the peace as my benny well — wasn’t. one wrong look in my direction and my man was jumping the fool in seconds flat. and if they got a hand on me, oh they’d have to have a death wish upon ‘em. benny would not stand for that. he’d make their life a livin’ hell for as long as they lived. johnny — no johnny wasn’t like that unless it was real bad. unless someone got real hurt, then he’d fight back.”

danny: “like the bar fire?”

honey: “exactly like the bar fire. sure, a part of me felt bad for the owner. that his establishment just went up in flames like that. but the other part of me was glad those fuckers couldn’t step foot in such a place no more. and on top of i was rather pissed off — still am — by the fact that the owner just let my benny get attacked like that. did nothing to stop it. boils my blood just thinking about it. just thinking about my sweet benny minding his business and gettin’ swarmed for just wearin’ his colors. colors that wouldn’t come off of him once i got my artsy hands on it. he was absolutely obsessin’ with the patches i made. especially the one that said “honey’s hubby” with a big ol’ heart. made my cheeks burn real bad when he’d kiss it before tossing it right back on.”

danny: “i remember seeing that.”

honey: “you do?!”

danny: “yeah, the times i rode with the guys. i caught ‘em doing it here and there. especially when he was ‘bout to mount his bike before a ride. figured it was some sort of good luck charm before i really took a good look at what the patch said. then i realized it was you.”

honey: “danny?”

danny: “what?”

honey: “you gotta stop or i’m gonna be gushin’ the whole rest of this interview without giving yuh the real stuff.”

danny: “alright, alright [ lyon laughs ] back to business. so, what happened after you got johnny’s girl to go with benny? when’d you see him again?”

honey: “funnily enough, ‘twas the very next day. saw him first in the mornin’ y’know at drop off. i figured he gave a ride to the girls again or somethin’ — but no. it was betty who did. she came right up to me that morning to say hello. the hell was i thinkin’? i mean benny had his whole bike on him. no shot in hell he’d bring the girls on it.”

danny: “sure.” [ sarcasm is apparent in lyon’s words ]

honey: “danny no! [ honey laughs ] benny was wild but not that wild. he’d never let anything happen to those girls.”

danny: “i know, i know. only jokin’. i’m assumin’ that’s what drew you to him though?”

honey: “it was definitely a solid factor.”

danny: “understandable. did you go talk to him, at drop off?”

honey: “no, no. I didn’t think too much of it at the time and i couldn’t go shoot the breeze with him anyways. the lot was packed with all these little ones. i had to roll call mine. it wasn’t until after lunch hour during recess that i did.”

danny: “he was still there then? never left?”

honey: “as far as i know, no. had a whole garden of cigarette buds circling his feet like he’d been there for hours.”

danny: “what’d you say when you approached him?”

honey: “said something about the girls not getting out for another few hours and then asked him if he was stalkin’ me off the bat. oh — he offered me a cigarette too, and i took it.”

danny: “ripped the bandage right off i see. how’d he take that?”

honey: “seemed amusin’ to him. he made one of those faces that had all his features turnin’ up real pretty. can never forget that. flat out told me he wasn’t which i found strangely adorable. then — i don’t really know how it happened, but he was changing the subject completely. y’know when you’re having a conversation and ya kind of just naturally switch topics easily, but it’s done so smoothy, like the segue isn’t rough or whatever?”

danny: “yeah, i know what y’mean. the previous topic is wedged in there somehow subtly, but it makes sense why you got there.”

honey: “exactly. but, benny. no — when benny was in the midst of a conversation and started going on about something else there was no ease there. yet, you’d be fooled to think so. that’s how he got us out of most arguments honestly. one minute i wouldn’t be too happy with him about somethin’. probably somethin’ stupid anyways. if not stupid, than definitely about him ridin’ with an injury. always got me nervous. but then of course the next he’d have me wrapped up in his embrace as if five minutes prior hadn’t happened. here, for instance though, i guess the transition kind of made sense? i mean i was goin’ on about my co-worker freaking out about him just parking ship near campus, blabbing about and he’s asking about what time i get out, and if i wanna go on a ride. now, i’m dumbfounded by this. cause what the hell does he want to do with me, y’know?”

danny: “so what did ya do? did ya go with him?”

honey: “what’a ya think, daniel?”

[ an unknown interruption cuts the session here, but lyon obtains all the information from honey he needs — for now, that is ;) ]

the compane i think

lineup of every (at least somewhat) biological entity (aside from earth leviathan) in lethal company!!!

again, non-VHS version under cut with some wacko headcanons and allat!

WOOHOO!!!!!!! so here are my extra headcanons and other minor changes because i am allowed to ramble about my art if i want to👍👍 (Those without any HC dumps here are pretty much as they are already, nothing to talk about them!)

Tiny bugs: the locust, bee and wasp are made to faintly resemble their real life counterparts aside from the reused fly model as in the game.

Manticoil: i will get either praised or executed for this but i made the extra wings.... leg wings. like a microraptor. but it does come with a reason, yes! it is practically impossible to evolve a new pair of limbs, it's either remove or change existing parts when it comes to evolution, and the manticoils are just evolved corvids in canon!

Hoarding bug: made to resemble hymenoptera more, as they are - again - canonically in this order of real life animal :]

Spore lizard: back scutes and more toes added to, you guessed it; resemble their earth relatives (in this case alligators) more.

Bunker spider: spider pitter patter feet :D

Thumper: more earth-relative (chondrichthyes) resemblance, especially the mouth is more shark-like.

Baboon hawk: earth thing again and also made the 'wings' the brightest, since i believe they pose no other purpose than social display.

Bracken: i've been WAITING to talk about my brackens' symmetrical, two-thumbed hands. PERFECT (i think?) for grabbing a victim's head to do a little snappin'. also the claws are just on the hands to really make sure they have a firm grip, and not on the padded, almost mitten-like feet for silent sneaking! (even though they are usually quadrupedal)

Eyeless dog: okay fellas but... that's no actual mammal (as we know) i think. the in-game head shape is too ridiculous to have evolved from anything and the class saeptivus doesn't even exist! what i think is a re-evolving of mammals at play, say.. synapsida 2.0 perhaps. so i took creative liberties and made the dog a taaaad bit more fish-like with a line of sensory pits on their sides kinda like a fish's lateral line. suits the blind critter :]

Nutcracker: some little paint job changes and added some hinge doohickeys to accentuate the mechanical properties of the nutcracker itself that the meaty-eye-hermit-thing is operating.

Jester: i am simply here to say that i would like to bite a chunk off of the jester's meat gluppo.

Forest keeper: ok so there is the cool octopus-style beak yeah and i gave it tiiiiny little silly pinky-thumbs as they're probably canonically related to the brackens but MY GOD!!!!!!! I HATED COLOURING THAT THING!!! what colour is it even if I HAD TO FNAF 3 BLAST IT. that's how you know that i didn't like doing it sorry giant enjoyers i didn't enjoy colouring large jonathan (my fan name for them) :[

"Telling The Bees"

Holm Kranom x Beekeeper!Reader

Tgs: Domestic fluff, bees, slight talk of insecurities, metaphors, reader's race is not mentioned, and more bees

In which Holm tells the reader to just bee yourself 🐝

-----------------

My wife is a beekeeper.

Soft and gentle were her hands as she combed through the thicket of my hair, her pretty smiles filled my heart like the jars of honey she stores in our kitchen cabinets.

"Holm." She called to me, her voice dripped with sweet golden ichor. "What do you want on your birthday?"

I couldn't help but chuckle, the apples of my face painted crimson as the corners of my lips turned upwards. "My birthday just passed but a few weeks ago, my dear."

I brushed stray strands of hair from her face, I see her brows furrowed ever so slightly. Her eyes squinting as she continued to stare at me, lips formed a pout.

"Everyday can be a birthday. "

"Nope, my mother didn't give birth to me everyday. That just doesn't make sense."

"You don't make sense."

I shook my head with a smile, a chuckle spilled out of my lips as I see her hands on her hip, huffing playfully. "You just want an excuse to spend money on me, don't you?"

She's an odd one.

When we first started seeing each other, she showed me her bee farm. She made me wear those tacky beekeeping suits in mid-summer, it was made from soft cotton, she claimed it was tailor made for my size— so who am I to distrust her judgement? I'm no expert after all.

"I have someone I'd like you to meet." She called to them, the bees, her voice gentle and motherly. Her whispers were as calming as white noise in a cafe, quiet as the air in the library. Her hand, bare, ungloved, held them so carefully— as if reaching out to touch a noble's fine silken robe.

"I found a lover, he's a gnome and his name is Holm Kranom." She breathed, her eyes squinting as she smiled so brightly. "He's a sweet cleric, and brews the nicest tea ever."

I didn't have the heart to question her silly antics.

It's was around late October when I proposed to her. Her little gasps and bounce was adorable, and it still was. She held my wrists and lead me once more to her farm, her smile was as pretty as the sunrise.

She gleamed as she held up her engagement ring, the band of silver wrapped her delicate fingers, with gem shimmered against the afternoon sun.

"I'm engaged!" Her smile truly rivaled the biggest stars in the sky. I'd even dare say it puts any star to shame.

Her bees merely buzzed about, seemingly ignoring their keeper's excited rambling. Though, a few landed curiously at her fingertips for a bit before flying away.

I found it cute, so I dare not question her about it.

And so my mind returned to the present, I watched her by the window as she gave her bees the leftover carrot cake we had on my birthday weeks back. I'm surprised it's still edible for the bees...

She stayed in her farm a lot longer than usual, hushedly singing to them every single milestone and every single woe she had felt and done.

"Why do you do that?" I finally had the courage to ask, she walked into our kitchen, jars of honey carefully placed carefully on each cabinet.

"Do what?" She scratched her cheek, and her head tilted slightly, before turning around to grab lemons— around 11 I think?

"Talking to the bees; you talk to your bees like they're your little diary." I watched as she began to cut each lemon in half, my lips turned upwards seeing her struggle with the knife.

"Oh, that!" She chuckled, wiping the sweat off of her forehead. "They're not my diary." Her voice low, contemplative. As if wondering if I'd understand her.

"They're wholly intertwined with my life, that they feel as if they're a part of my family. Our family." She squeezed each lemon with much vigor, I shook my head with a small smile. I stood up, taking the pathetically squeezed lemon from her hands, and did it myself.

"5 of each?"

"5 and a half." I want to flick that pout of hers with how much she does it nowadays, but I could only smile and nod as I kissed her hands. The scent of lemon zest coated her fingertips, it's bitterness staining my lips and tongue.

"Did your father do this as well?" I asked as softly as I could, "Talking to the bees, I mean." I grabbed the strainer, as she was lazy enough to grab it from our kitchen drawers. I'm still appalled at how she'd strain it with her bare hand, not that it's disgusting or anything— she's very thorough with her hand washing, it's simply not something I'm used to. Especially knowing there's a strainer here, though she does have a point that it's less dishes to clean.

Ever the practical woman.

"Yeah," Her voice broke me out of my little tangent, my eyes flickered to her as she spoke. "It's just something my family had always done, for good omen, and I just hoped our family would follow the same tradition still."

She embraced my culture's ways, from refraining from eating meat, to going as far as wearing gnomish clothing. Not even I do that. She listens with great interest, takes note of everything I say. "What is mine is yours, and what is yours is mine." She often says, while she reached out for my hand, rubbing the golden band wrapped around my ring finger. "We are married, therefore our lives are intertwined."

"We will." Was all I said, giving her the cups of the lemon that I just squeezed. A soft smile drawn on my face as she added the honey on the juice, carefully measuring both cups before adding the water.

"I'm weird, aren't I?" Her nimble fingers stirred the cup, eyes flickering to me and the drink. "The wife that you married doesn't like frilly dresses, books, and make up."

She heaved each breath like she was thrown in the white beds of winter, "The wife who'd spend her time talking to bees than with people." Each word that dripped from her precious lips felt like viscous tar, thick and heavy.

For how long had those heavy thoughts plagued your mind?

"I'm—"

"No." I spoke, carefully taking the spoon and cups from her. "Not another word, my love." I leaned my body slightly against hers, stirring the next cup of lemonade.

"I know who I married." I whispered, slowly stopping my stirring, tapping the cup with the spoon with a little tak, tak.

"As long you're happy with what you do," I took an experimental sip of the drink, its sour taste blended so perfectly with the honey, almost masking it.

I gave the other cup to her, "It will be enough. You're enough." Crystalline jewels widened ever so slightly, glossy and damp. She smiled, and my god. I could never get enough of it.

Even as the tears flowed freely down her face, leaving footprints on her skin, she's beautiful. I set my cup down, my hands reached her dampened eyes.

I'll catch every woeful dew that dare fall upon your pretty face, let me be the basin of your rain. I'll catch every drop and drink it all away.

For a typhoon to weaken, it must make landfall. "Lay your burdens on me, my love." I whispered through a lullaby, a calming tune. A simple heartbeat. Lub-dub, Lub-dub.

I felt her hands hover hesitantly on my back, the typhoon has reached its landfall.

"What is yours is mine,"

Let your woes dissipate.

"What is mine is yours."

It was near fall, the world colored itself in orange and reds, with plantlife and animals prepared themselves for another arduous winter.

"I have someone you'd definitely want to meet." She spoke with such glee, as she turned to me her eyes squinting, hands waved and beckoned me to come, while I carried this little bundle of joy in my arms.

"I had a child," She whispered, knocking on the beehive once. A buzzing resounded from within, as if indicating acknowledgement.

A good omen, perhaps?

"They're just a few days old, and a real hungry fella. Me and Holm could barely sleep because of them, they poop a lot too. It's disgusting, tiring, but they're mine. And we love them."

The little one yawned, and shifted in my arms. Their lips puckered and smacked against one another, head leaning unto my chest. "Our precious bundle here might be getting hungry again, honey."

"Eh? I just fed them!"

~

"Telling the bees" , as this tradition was known, is a practice that calls for the beekeeper to tell their hives of significant life events. Its origins may have been from Celtic Mythology, where the presence of a bee signified the soul leaving the body.

But the tradition itself had been prominent in the eighteenth and nineteenth century in the U.S. and Western Europe. The consequences of not telling the bees can be dire, from the bees falling ill, ceased production of honey up to the death of entire colonies. These events, led to strengthening of the belief that a keeper and a bee's life are wholly intertwined.

Cisco: Made you all playlists! Cisco: Y/N, yours has only heavy metal, and is dark like your soul. Cisco: Caitlyn, yours has sad songs and blues to pair with your crippling depression. Cisco: And Barry has the ABBA Gold album.

━━━━━━━━━▼━━━━━━━━━

Caitlyn, being serious: Which country has the most birds? Caitlyn: Portu-geese! Barry: That's a language. Caitlyn: Portu-gull? Barry: Good recovery. Cisco: I think you mean good re-dovery. Y/N: TURKEY. HOW DID WE MISS TURKEY?

━━━━━━━━━▼━━━━━━━━━

Barry: That's ridiculous, Y/N doesn't have a crush on me. Cisco: Yes he does. Caitlyn: Yes he does. Y/N: Yes I do.

━━━━━━━━━▼━━━━━━━━━

Barry: Question, how difficult would it be to bowl in a bee suit? Caitlyn: Not that hard, I don't think, as long as you can move. Y/N: I'd assume as hard as it is to bowl in a maid outfit. Y/N: Wouldn't be any harder, but you'd get some WEIRD looks. Cisco: Are. Are you speaking from experience. Y/N: No! Y/N: Y/N: ....Maybe.

━━━━━━━━━▼━━━━━━━━━

Cisco: *Gasp* Caitlyn: wHAT?? Cisco: What if soy milk is just milk introducing itself in Spanish? Caitlyn: *inhales* Y/N, in another room with Barry: Why can I hear screeching?

━━━━━━━━━▼━━━━━━━━━

Caitlyn: Words ending in 'ie' just sound so adorable. Like cutie, sweetie, cookie- Cisco: Eyy, homie! Barry: But then there's cootie... Y/n: Die.

━━━━━━━━━▼━━━━━━━━━

Caitlyn: I truly believe that water can solve all your problems. Cisco: Weight loss? Drink water. Barry: Clear skin? Drink water. Y/N: Want to get rid of someone? Drown them.

━━━━━━━━━▼━━━━━━━━━

Y/N: Guys, I’ve been meaning to tell you… Barry and I are dating. Barry, Iris, Caitlyn, and Cisco: *gasp* Y/N: Barry, why are you surprised?!

━━━━━━━━━▼━━━━━━━━━

Barry: Look guys, I need help. Cisco: Love help? Caitlyn: Financial help? Iris: Emotional help? Y/n: Help moving a body? *Everybody looks at Y/n* Y/n: What?

━━━━━━━━━▼━━━━━━━━━

Iris: If you took a shot for every time you made a bad decision, how drunk would you be? Caitlyn: Maybe a bit tipsy? Cisco: Drunk. Y/n and Barry, dumbass speedsters: Dead.

━━━━━━━━━▼━━━━━━━━━

*The gang's thoughts on stabbing* Caitlyn: Would never stab anyone. Barry: Would stab someone in retaliation. Cisco: Yells "I won't hesitate, bitch!" first. Iris: Would stab without warning. Y/N: Would stab as a warning.

━━━━━━━━━▼━━━━━━━━━

Caitlyn: I swear to god I'm the only one here with a braincell. Barry, Y/N, and Cisco: ALL HAIL the keeper of the sacred braincell!

━━━━━━━━━▼━━━━━━━━━

Y/n: You’ve got to learn to love yourself. Barry: But don't you hate yourself. Y/n: Yeah, but this is about you. Stay focused.

━━━━━━━━━▼━━━━━━━━━

Barry: I have a problem. Y/n: Kill it. Barry: Can you chill for like, two seconds?

━━━━━━━━━▼━━━━━━━━━

Barry: What are you eating? Y/n: You wouldn't like it, it's really salty. Barry: I like you, don't I?

━━━━━━━━━▼━━━━━━━━━

Y/n: *Kicks the door open to Barry’s room, looking panicked* Barry, used to this already: What did you do?! Y/n: NOBODY DIED! Barry, not used to this: WHAT KIND OF ANSWER IS THAT?!

[clockwayswrites]

So my dear friend Eliot and I have made a pact: we have a year to get the first drafts of our original novels written.

Which we feel is pretty generous! We're fast writers both, but my OG work is hard (so much second guessing), so deadlines! (Yes, I've made a spreadsheet.)

@eliotadrift is working on a mlm romance novel between an idealistic new bee keeper and the jaded man who's family has been keeping bees and farming in the area for generations. Can they find love while one has to face reality and the other works to not be pulled down by it?

And I am working on a mlm 'New Weird' novel: The neon signs are spelling out dire warnings to Jules. The creatures with too many teeth are circling. The Man in the Suit is watching. And the Archivist sent to investigate is trying desperately to keep Jules alive. He's not sure he can.

Be sure to also follow Eliot if their novel interests you (I assure you they're a phenomenal writer) and I hope you all enjoy what I share of mine (They Too Have Teeth) here! If you like my dp x dc fics, this should be right up your alley!

As always, stay delightful, darlings!

March 20th;

After leaving the Wexley in search of his sister two weeks ago, Roman Drake eventually reunited with her and the pair ventured to one of the city's previously guarded check-points in the North. Investigating further the siblings discovered that no one was guarding the check-point from the outside either. They found abandoned cars and empty houses, likely ordered to evacuate sometime near the beginning of the outbreak. Driven by a need to understand what was happening in the outside world the pair continued forward through the Bronx, Yonkers, New Heaven.

What they saw was reminiscent of the city they'd left behind, signs of life few and far between. The dead likely had little interest in the area with the living having pushed further inland.

Now outside of the signals that had been preventing communication with the outside world Roman and Birdie managed to contact their family and gather some information.

The United States has fallen.

What is left of the government and military have taken refuge and control in a vast swatch of The American Rocky mountains, last reported to be taking in immune survivors.

After the initial outbreak in New York City, pockets of outbreaks started to break out all over the country within the following hours and days.

Planes landing or crashing full of fresh chompers, Greyhound buses spilling their new bite hungry innards into the country side, etc.

Those that had escaped New York unwittingly carried with them a delayed response and the virus actively infectious in their saliva, spreading it outwards from the city like spittle.

Canada was last rumoured to be fairing better due to it's sparsely populated nature. Mexico had been doing it's best to hold out at the borders, and there were small town pockets all over the country rumoured to be holding out aided by their desolate locations.

Government updates stopped altogether nationwide on January 1st, 2024 leaving only local wavelengths open.

Rumour has it the Canadians are taking in immune refugees but this is unconfirmed and there are conflicting reports that the Canadian border patrol is shooting any and everyone on sight that even gets close.

They also learned that Roman's ex wife and daughter were stuck on the coast, floating aimlessly in the ocean after the ship they'd taken from Martha's Vineyard had run out of gas. Any attempt to dock was a death sentence as there was a band of raiders waiting to strip them of the supplies they still carried, sadly, none of which were food.

Roman and Birdie were able to coordinate with a small group of survivors and get them to shore in a raft, while the boat continued to sit in the ocean with its treasure of supplies and a handful of survivors. Birdie was tasked with taking the survivors from the raft back to the Wexley and informing them of the situation. Roman's hoping someone will be up to the task and willing to deal with the raiders. He's remained near the coast preparing for what may come.

This event will begin on Thursday 10/10/24.

Please note in the replies which, if any, of your characters are interested in assisting the survivors/supplies back to the Wexley and dealing with the raiders. We will group them and do discord threads as per the previous supply run event.

New neighbors will be joining us in the Wexley. Several NPCs from the ship will be listed on the directory; suites who belonged to characters who have passed or gone missing will be cleaned out and reused (unless asked not to).

NPC suggestions are welcomed and appreciated! Do you think one of them is a world renowned neurosurgeon? Sure, that could be helpful! Maybe one of them is a bee keeper and will be providing us with fresh honey.

Characters who remain at the Wexley will be dealing with their own surprise; something nasty has found its way into the building through the destroyed lobby, lured in by the still buried dead bodies decomposing there.

[dragon-hoard]

is moo deng being abused? no

but the way she is being handled is inappropriate and especially should not be posted for clout for the public or even have free contact in front of the public. if they need to handle her for medical reasons or training reasons it should be done in a private area

remember chris pratt thinking he was the bee whisperer because he watched a keeper on tiktok free handle smoked bees without a suit and then got stung to shit? the general public is stupid with regards to animals

the keeper/staff can take cute pictures of her without needing to incite a reaction or showing direct contact

[unknown-goose]

Transformers One Main Cast As Fate/Grand Order Characters

This movie has given me such severe brain rot, I just had to write something for it. Once again this post DOES CONTAIN MINOR SPOILERS so read at your own discretion.

Orion Pax/Optimus Prime

• This time around I imagine him being a Ruler

• Given how it is normally a class associated with saint-like characters and grail war observers, I think it fits him rather well

• Even his most reckless acts are always done with good intentions and out of the main 4 bots, I consider him to be the peace keeper

• I see him as being an Arts unit with an AOE support Noble Phantasm (provides various buffs to the party instead of dealing damage to the enemy)

• I consider The Matrix of Leadership to be a passive skill: I’m thinking it would give passive healing per turn or extra debuff resistance. Probably passive healing because it’s not something you really see in F/GO (in playable units anyway)

• I’m probably going to give him a buff somewhere that makes him and or the party deal extra damage against "Threat to Cybertron" units (more on that later)

D-16/Megatron

• Easily an Avenger class unit, no questions asked

• Once he and the rest of the group find out the truth about Sentinel, revenge is all he can think about. And by the end of the film its become his defining trait, consuming him till there's nothing left of his previous personality

• It may be a little cliche giving him an all Buster card deck, but it really does suit him well

• His physical prowess is so strong after gaining his t-cog I’m thinking of making the arm canon his Noble Phantasm, if the divorce scene is anything to go by he’s probably Single Target (that scene gave me unparalleled psychic damage, I am not ok)

• He is also one of two units I will be giving the new "Threat to Cybertron" trait, based on F/GO’s "Threat to Humanity" trait

• I imagine his kit being almost like Maou Nobu’s, except better in every way. As much as I love her, the developers really failed her with that kit.

B-127/Bumblebee

• Not quite as obvious as my last choice, but he would make a good berserker

• Very low ranking "Madness Enhancement", probably somewhere in the low C/high to mid D range. Low C seems a little high for me but the change in stats is so minute it really doesn’t matter too much

• I have a feeling he would be a Quick unit, but I can’t make up my mind on whether he is Single Target or AOE. Maybe there is a gimmick in his kit somewhere that allows him to switch between the two like Melusine or Summer Barghest

• He seems like the kind of character I would throw all my prototype gimmicks at to see what sticks, just for the heck of it

Elita-1

• I headcanon her to be an Assassin class unit, more based on how she handles her opponents rather then her character

• High ranking "Independent Action" passive, but very low Luck. Poor girl can never catch a break. Her "Presence Concealment" would probably be about average, so somewhere in the B range

• I think she would have another Single-Target NP, and given her class’s knack for generating critical stars, she’s probably another Quick unit. Except I’d make her deck have three Quick cards instead of Bee’s two (double Quick, double Arts)

• Admittedly I was pretty stumped with this one, I think I ran out of brain juice while coming up with the others. Either that or the after work fatigue is kicking in again

Sentinel Prime (or as I like to call him Sentinel Douchebag)

• This is going to sound really wild, but hear me out: Moon Cancer

• Now I hear you saying "Goose, what does this motherfucker have to do with the moon? Or any moon?" And the truth is nothing at all. But he is to Cybertron what BB (the servant who made the class) is to the Moon Cell, a Cancer; an all encompassing evil that fundamentally changes the game. One that must be stopped at all costs, but unlike BB, his evil does not come from a place of care for the people.

• This class is the most objectively evil in its roots as even the Beasts have love in their hearts somewhere, so it makes perfect sense to throw this beautiful bastard in here. This class also has the smallest roster of characters in the game so there’s plenty of room for innovation.

• I see him having a double Arts, Double Buster deck with an Arts NP, probably AOE. He is also the second character to be receiving my new "Threat to Cybertron" trait, funnily enough I strictly had him in mind when coming up with it, and gave it to Megatron as an afterthought. That’s how much of a bitch he is in this movie.

• Him and Airachnid would be a dual package, just like Sakamoto Ryoma and his wife Oryou; with Airachnid appearing in his skill animations and NP, maybe having a couple voice lines of her own.

[aggravatedartist]

okay I'll stop gatekeeping them now

(If you saw the scuffed version of this post, politely, no you did not... I hate when this site scuffs formatting. Ugh.)

Here's that furry Kidnapper Fox OC lol

Alt outfits under cut and in a reblog; so far I've only done all the in game suits (and the cut beige one.)

I'll also share some stuff about them!

Bunny and bee suits will be in a reblog, sorry; I also have alternate versions for the bunny suit (technically also the bee suit but I hate it) so I can show those off too, at least. Maybe get more opinions?

Now, fun facts:

Transcriptions are available in the alt text!!

So, notes about these notes real quick- obviously, I did in fact give them hair. I like it! I think it was a cute/fun flavor choice.

I think they can use their tongue for item collection, which is part of what the "they'd nearly prefer to collect bee hives, though," was about. I don't imagine that'd be very pleasant, especially if any circuit bees got stuck to them in the process.

Kidnapper Foxes are already pretty big, actually? So the note about them being a big version of them is not quite accurate- they're probably either slightly smaller than, or the same size as, a normal Kidnapper Fox, if they dropped to all fours. That's not something they're comfortable doing though, at all.

Their constantly being left behind is why they seem to constantly only have employee ranking- by their account, they should really be a leader or a boss already, not that they'd want the positions necessarily- they don't think there's very many crews out there that would listen to them.

I think their night on a moon without vain shrouds was a nightmare experience, truly- think "getting shot out of the hands of a forest keeper by an old bird only to land in the midst of a fruitless battle between old dogs and baboonhawks, all of whom are promptly blown to shit." And they couldn't go inside because of a coil head.... rough time all around.

They HATE that tail sleeve so, so much- it doesn't feel quite big enough for all the poof of the fur of their tail, and it gets itchy. If they're on monitor, they absolutely refuse to wear it, alongside their helmet- but they refuse the helmet because they they actually can't talk while wearing it at all. The muzzle isn't wide enough for them to open their mouth.

Annnnd I still don't have a name or anything set for them lmao. I still have Scott Pilgrim brainrot so I'm actively having to stop myself from calling them KP (Kidnapper Phaux... disgusting and obnoxious, I know.... if anyone has any suggestions I will so happily field them 🙏)

Bonus fun/cute ideas my friends have suggested, not necessarily canonized:

If there's a bracken and it startles them, they will hiss at it until it goes away.

Loot bugs continually try to kidnap them- they think they're valuable <3 (idk about the canonization of this one, but I will say it's very cute. I only hesitate because I have a whole thing in my head of them constantly having to fret on whether it's safer to leave their gear and clothes outside or inside the facilities on overnight stays, depending on if there's also the chance of baboonhawks showing up. If loot bugs were nice to them, I dunno that they'd pass up the additional protection, especially on moons without shrouds.)

Bee keepers who will grab a handful of bees with no protective suits on are honestly one of the craziest motherfuckers to live. And they do that shit so casually too, as if there’s literally no concern over thousands of bees attacking you at that every moment.

And some of the times they don’t even own the bees. Just saw a mad woman remove a floor of a shed to show a shit tone of bees and she deadass pick up a handful. Raw dogging that shit with a smile.

Batshit insane people I swear. I would never fight these people because they have no fear.
