Lilith, The Mistress of Fear is getting her small scarecrow. By emacrow/prompt creator pt 1

It was her turn to watch over the young king in his latest, most rarest vacation, reincarnation at the finest.

Unfortunately, being alive is the cost she paid gratefully because the last reincarnation vacation his majesty had took was ended shortly due to the idiotic ghost guard who fell to watch him.

This time Fright Knight was smart enough to use the reincarnation trip easy enough, but being reborn in a woman body that was shocking similar to her own original body from back then was nostalgic in a tragic way.

Same two birthmarks under her right dark emerald eye and right side of her mouth. The chaotic scar covered her left arm, and long scar going through her right eyebrow across her pale emerald eye, ending at her cheekbone.

Her body was still strong and muscular in the sense of tallness, but unfortunately she can still feel the softness that she needed to train more as she could still hold the soulshredder that seemed to had grow larger in size for her. (I think because your ghost form was much taller than you think?)

Clothes are a bit smaller as she gotten older and much taller then most ladies and men, then what she used to but getting specially tailored clothes to match her size was a godsend.

She had been alive for twenty-four year now, working as a bounty huntress that these small men whisper of The Mistress of Fear at night, while taking care of the young king in the daytime who was born to shameful parents that dare abandoned him in a wasteful bin.

Thankfully She can trace where his newest body was at the right time, not mere a couple minutes before the disposal men come with their raging machine on wheels.

Five years in Gotham, she kept a downlow considering there is a liminal in a bat suit patrolling around. Unfortunately that didn't last with a particular scarecrow.

Said scarecrow who was in sack mask looking at her with his face redder than a tomato considering she was sitting on him in her living room.

Jonathan Crane, supposed bringer of Fear as the Scarecrow.

Amateur at best.

Lilith considered Crane annoying at the beginning the first three dozen times they has met up with him trying to spray her with 'Fear Toxin and Gas' considering how he believe he was better at her with bringing Fear to other.

That declaration made her laugh hard that first meeting if Crane think he could best her, with how short and scrawny he was compared to her majestic tall and strong form, even her young King wasn't that scrawny when he was a ghostling.

This supposed 'Fear Toxin' was nothing to her, for she was The Mistress of Fear, formerly known as The Fright Knight in the infinite realm.

Then came the odd courting such a present with a doll stuffed filled with exploding Fear toxic, chocolate with toxic vial filled with the hazelnut spreading inside added a nice flavor, the dance between the two during a gold spar giving her a good nick on her shoulder was a nice touch, switching the candle in her crafted pumpkin with a ticking bomb full of Fear gas was a lovely gesture for her halloween party, and the best was a beautiful Sword sheath filled with concreated Fear toxic that melt even the hardest metal, but the soulshredder seem to love the spa treatment in it. Lilith swear the soulshredder was spoiled rotten by that sword sheath.

The little sneaky seeking short man somewhat crawled into her anicent void of a broken heart, and took over. She enjoyed their weekly meeting between them now that was until two weeks ago.

Jonathan can deny and struggle all he wanted after the last discussion and spar two weeks ago when she told him that she accepted his courting, which led to him avoiding her like a ghost, ha.

Jonathan think he could avoid her after taking her heart with him was rather dull of him considering she knew all his secrets hideouts by now with the amount of time he had kidnapped her in the previous years.

He should be honored to gain the hand in marriage of Mistress of Fear after all the beautiful lavishly courting gifts he sented her the past 2 years. Badly lying and saying they were to sabotage her was laughable. He had seduced her mind, and then she seduced him the same way all the way into marriage.

There is no escaping The Mistress of Fear, Jonathan. You dug into this haunted house of a heart, and once you're in, there is no escape.

The Nightmare Before Christmas Lost in The Book: Over The Spiral Hill

{1} {2}

Being stuck in a strange book was not what you expected, now you had to worry about your fellow Ramshackle doormates!  You hoped they would be fine, without Yuu or you. You glanced at Yuu and Grim, the two students happily looking over the strange pumpkin patch.

You look away only for a moment, hoping to see what was over the garden wall. Instead what caught your interest was the odd scarecrow hidden in the shadows. Raising a brow, you walk closer, hoping the moonlight would shine on the object.

“(Y/N)! Look at this one!”

You pause, you turn attention back on Grim as you see the little furball try to pick it up. 

You sigh, feeling the wind play with ends of your clothes, about to walk over to the two. An idea forms in your mind!

Kneeling down, you notice the scarecrow seemed much closer than before. Gently picking up the smallest fruit, the unmoving straw body was MUCH closer now!

You tilt your head, eyes shining with curiosity. You notice the sign above its head, “Halloween… Town.”

Reading aloud, you turn away, a sweet laugh leaving you, flustered as you hold the autumn fruit closer. “I… Hope you don’t mind.” You say to the scarecrow, “I promise to return it.”

Turning away, you carefully walk through the pumpkin patch towards your companions. Letting out a cough to grab their attention, you hold the pumpkin as if it were a skull.

“To be.. Or Not! To be.. Such is the question..!” You quote, expecting a laugh. Instead, Grim frowns in confusion. “To be what? A pumpkin?” He questions.

“No. It’s Shaksphere? Yuu, please tell me you know!” The Prefect shrugs, tapping their chin thoughtfully. “It sounds familiar…”

Going back to the scarecrow, you lean up against the wooden pool. Fluttering your lashes dreamily, letting out an over-dramatic sigh, “My bounty is as boundless as the sea, My love as deep; the more I give to thee, The more I have, for both are infinite.” You state, raising the object close to your lips, as they pucker.

Yuu huffs, about to retrieve the fruit as Grim lays on their shoulder.

“I still don’t get it! But whoever this shake-ysphera guy is, sure is dramatic.”

“Well, that line was Juliets… From Romeo and Juliet…” You murmur as you chuckle at Yuu snatching the pumpkin away, placing it next to its brethren on the soil. “Rome and Jule?”

“No… Okay let me explain.”

Heading to the other side of the scarecrow, you say another quote. “A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life; Whose misadventured piteous overthrows. Do with their death bury their parents’ strife.” 

“Hmm… Henchman, do you get it?” Grim questions the other magicless human. They nodded thoughtfully, the wind tussling their hair.

“Kinda like... Christmas and Halloween, two opposites and can’t collide.” Yuu states proudly like they figured out the code!

“Oh so like that made-up holiday you created during winter!” Grim states, pointing a paw at you.

“IT’S NOT-How is that even-?” You groan, moving away from the protector of the patch. You try to explain, or direct the conversation elsewhere.

A glove-like hand grasps your own, as an unfamiliar laugh rings behind you, Yuu and Grim gape in fear while you  freeze. A young man with a grin steps into your view, his grip like a spider's web, strong yet delicate when holding your palm. 

“I greet you with a kiss, for this wonderful encounter..~!” 

-

“Gino! What am I to do with these!?” Foulworth asks his companion, holding the box of decorations in worry. “(Y/N) and Yuu instructed us before, but this not as simple as I hoped.”

The fox-beastman grumbled, poking at a strange velvet hat with a cotton ball placed on top. Mixed in with the other Halloween items placed inside the brown box.

Rollo scoffed from his seat, hiding his sour words into his silken handkerchief. Watching the two fumble with green and purple tinsel as the ghosts aid them.

-

[Ya’ll, I’m head over heels for mister Skele-boi over hear. He’s voiced by one of my all-time va’s. So I’m just in awe! I’ve been squealing all day about him! I might, possibly write for this event if anyone is interested. Let me know!]

EDIT: I was a dunce and posted the draft that I was working on - THIS HAS BEEN CORRECTED - YOU ARE NOW READING THE FULL THING I AM SO SORRY FOR THE MISSHAP

A Vampire Wheat Farmer(Ghoap) - Chapter 1 - Meeting the Vampire

Soap was making his way down the dirt path through all of the fields of wheat. He's never seen crops so well taken care of or bountiful. They were taller than he was used to, coming up to his chest and seeming to yield more grains than the usual plant. His blue eyes scanned the field before he spotted a tall figure at the end of one field, looking into the sea of wheat. From this angle, he couldn't tell if it was a scarecrow or a person, but when the hooded figure sharply turned their head towards the Scot, Soap found his answer.

He glanced around the field to see if he could figure out where to go to meet the person quickly approaching him, but decided to stay in place, unsure if he even should move. As the figure got closer, he saw their clothes more thoroughly. They were wearing a balaclava with a skull sewn into it, plastic, or some sort of other mesh he was sure. Or he hoped. After all, he was hoping to meet a bloody vampire. The person wore a grey hoodie and jeans, black gloves with bones were worn on his hands and black boots that left light tracks in the ground. As he got close enough, Soap noted how the person’s skin was covered by black face paint, or something similar.

"What's your business?" His British accent was noticeable, Manchester perhaps, but it felt a bit faded, a bit different. It was slightly hypnotizing as Soap stared into the man's eyes. They were something else, being a dark brown with a circle of yellow around the pupil, a sign of being turned into a vampire.

"Yer da vampur I've ben hearin' 'bout!" Soap said excitedly, coming up more energetic than he expected as he took a few more paces closer to the man who quickly took quite a few steps back. The distance between the two grew faster than Soap could register.

"What's it to you?" He growled, voice deepening. If that didn't send a shiver down his spine and make Soap's heart skip a beat, he’d be lying. It also made him stop in his tracks.

"Oh! I uh, I'm John MacTavish. People call me Soap." He introduced himself with a big grin, holding out his hand to the mask figure. "I wanna study Vampires and help 'em be apar' of society an' not shunned."

The vampire gave a glance over the man's hand, trying to see if there was anything wrong with it. There wasn't though. It was just a normal human hand. Then he hesitantly approached and firmly shook it.

"Call me Ghost." He replied before quickly pulling his hand away. He circled the buff Scott, as if sizing up the male. There was a flicker of something in his eyes that Soap couldn't quite place. "Why they call you Soap?"

"Oh uh, was a kid tha' ate soap a lot... I-I've grown ou' of it! Don'ye worry!" Soap said, watching Ghost's quick movements. Dang, vampires were quicker than humans. Part of him wondered if this was as fast as he could go.

"Why here?"

"Well... You're pretty easy to access. No one has seen yer face in... well millennia.. An' yew've ben said ta be a pretty good wheat farmer." Soap started to list off the reasons, he soon felt Ghost wrap his arms firmly around his chest, pulling him in close. His back pressed flush against the vampire’s chest. There was a look in his eyes that Soap couldn't quite read, though he didn't doubt that it was an act.

“And you’re alone. Humans shouldn’t be alone.” Ghost growled as his mask nuzzled against Soap’s neck. The Scot’s heart pounded in his ears, before he blurted out.

“Y-Ye ken ye can drink animals blood an’ survive… R-Right?” Soap stammered out. He hated that he was getting so flustered by a stranger that he just met. Though the nuzzling stopped before a low rumble that almost resembled a chuckle had left Ghost. He slowly let the human go before moving away.

“You’re interestin’.” Ghost commented. “I know. Usually humans freak out more. How many vampires have drinken your blood?”

“Uhhm… Not sure… I donate my blood ta places tha’ give it out ta those who need it due to their bodies rejectin’ animal blood.” Soap said, quickly gaining his composure despite his heart rushing in his ears. He bet Ghost could hear it too.

“Very thoughtful.” Ghost muttered before starting to walk further down the field, leaving Soap behind. He stopped and glanced back. “Ya comin’?”

“O-Oh! Y-Ya!” Soap said, surprised that Ghost was offering him to follow him to wherever he was about to leave the Scot. He jogged to catch up, pulling out a notepad and pen before looking at the masked vampire and smiling brightly, “Ye min’ if I ask a few questions?”

“Shoot.” Ghost responded, leading the human through acres of wheat fields.

“When d’ya turn?”

“Gotta be durin’ buildin’ Manchester.” Ghost replied, rubbing the fabric where his chin is, remembering the night he turned.

“Really! Ye help buil’’ Manchester?” Soap asked excitedly, scribbling it down.

“Yea. You’re listenin’ to an original Manchester accent… Albeit a lot faded.” Ghost said with a soft chuckle.

“Aye…” Soap agreed softly, despite not being alive at the time. “But weren’t it built by da Romans?”

“Yea. Was a soldier for ‘em.”

“So yer a Roman?”

“In a way, yeah.”

“Woahh.. But ye got bit here, so technically you’re British.” Soap glanced at Ghost, not realizing that they were approaching a pretty old looking building. It was built with wood that looked like it was replaced at least 100 years ago. A small stone wall was around it, the pebbles at the bottom suggest its age from the weather years before Soap could be even considered a construct. A stone chimney was awkwardly added to the side of one wall. There were windows with shutters on them, but they were latched shut.

“Wha’ever works for ya.” Ghost said with a shrug as he opened the wooden door, ducking inside. Soap was surprised that he even had to duck inside. Though once in, both could comfortably stand tall, though Ghost probably had about 6 inches above his head before he might run into something, like the lightbulb that had a metal covering. Though Ghost seemed to know the layout of his house as he quickly went to an old stove, hucking a few logs in before lighting it with a match and putting a kettle on with water.

“Tea?” Ghost offered, looking back at Soap who was awkwardly standing right in front of the doorway, one hand still on the doorknob as he was closing the door behind him, glancing around the home. It was like one big room, a small section for the kitchen to the left, in the middle was a table, to the right was a space for a king sized bed and a desk. Things felt a bit crowded, herbs being hung from a rack above the stove along with old pots and pans that seemed to have just been gathering dust.

“Oh uh, ya.” Soap responded, fully closing the door before awkwardly standing by the table. Soap’s eyes drew down to his feet, seeing an old goat skin rug on the ground beneath it, part of it going underneath the legs of the table. His blue eyes then looked to the bed. It had fur blankets on it as well.

“Gots lots’a furry 'tings in ‘ere.” He commented before Ghost pulled out an old chair that looked about ready to be replaced, gesturing for his guest to sit.

“Yeah. Got a few more recently… Mid 1900s I think.” Ghost replied. He seemed to want to talk, but yet, something was holding him back. Soap in the meantime had sat, writing stuff down and doing quick doodles of things he saw in the home as the water boiled. Ghost curiously looked over the Scot’s shoulder.

“Nice drawings.” He commented before going back to the stove.

“Oh er… Tanks.” Soap blushed once more. This vampire was smooth. A lot of them were, but he wasn’t expecting it from a recluse. He hadn’t mentally prepared to be wooed, intentionally or not, today.

“Wha’ made ye settle ‘ere?” Soap asked, trying to go back to researching the vampire.

“Mmm… Good place to have wheat fields.” Ghost hummed as he thought before responding nonchalantly. Soap wrote it down without a second thought.

“Did ya build ye house?”

“Yeah. Sown the fields too.”

“Interestin’...” Soap whispered softly, writing quicker than before. “Ye ever ‘ave a lover?”

“Why? Ya lookin’?” Ghost teased, watching as the Scot’s face soon turned a bright shade red, his mouth agape before trying to say something before the vampire chuckled and shook his head. “Pullin’ ya leg. Yeah… Once… In a way. Arranged. No feelin’ towards ‘er.”

Soap took in a sharp breath before nodding, writing down the answer.

“Keep track of yer kids after ye turned?” 

“... No.” The slightly warm tone that Ghost had previously suddenly turned cold. Soap tensed, he had hit a nerve.

“Oh… Sorry.” The Scot said softly, not writing down the answer and gripping his pen tighter.

“What made’ye stay over ‘ere?” Soap continued, clearing his throat.

“Next question.” Ghost’s voice remained gruff and unwelcoming.

“Uhh… ever… ‘ave… a dog?” Soap had tried to come up with a different question than his usual ones. The rest were about Ghost’s past, specifics. So, Soap decided to go a different way. Ghost paused at the question. The breath that the human was holding soon left, he hadn’t even realized that he was holding it at first.

“Yeah… ‘ad a few during the World Wars, during the black plague… I think the last one was in the 80’s…” Ghost responded before the kettle started to whistle violently, letting the men know that the hot water was done. The vampire took down two mugs, putting a tea bag in each, then red powder in one. Soap could only assume that the powder was dried blood. He poured the water out of the kettle. Soap watched curiously, noting how even the mugs seemed hand made.

“Ye dabble in pottery?” Soap asked curiously.

“At one time.” Ghost responded calmly, putting the mug without the red powder in front of Soap before sitting across from him on the other side of the table.

“Ye think ye can still do it?” Soap asked, scribbling the answers down.

“Probably.”

“Will ye show me?”

“Maybe.”

Soap huffed softly before grabbing the mug and softly blowing into the tea before testing the temperature against his lips. It was a bit too hot, but he took a small sip. The tea was good, strong and slightly bitter, but strong.

“Ye make the tea yerself?” Soap asked, putting his mug down, pen ready to scribble down the answer.

“Yea. Basically everything in ‘ere I made. Minus the stove, anything electrical, and a handful of silverware. Those were gifts.” Ghost replied, answering a handful of Soap’s next questions. “Ye write down everythin’ we say like a damn scribe?”

“Almost e’rytin’. Want me ta not include somethin’?” Soap asked. He quickly stopped writing as he looked up at Ghost. He didn’t look irritated, but genuinely curious.

“Nah. Just don’ ask stupid questions.” He responded with a huff.

The two shared a few more simple questions back and forth before an alarm went off on Soap’s phone.

“Awe shite.” He mumbled, annoyed at himself for forgetting about the meeting he had in 30 minutes, but that was miles away. If he ran and caught a cab early, he might make it 30 minutes later. But he couldn’t be late. Not for this.

“What’s that?” Ghost questioned before sipping his cup of tea.

“An alarm fer a meetin’ I’m supposed to be at in 30 minutes. Far as fuck though. I don’t think I’ll make it.” Soap said standing up quickly as he chugged the rest of the tea he so wished he could enjoy.

“Let me help out.” Ghost said, standing up as well while Soap pushed in his chair.

“Nah, you don’t gotta. I’ll just run an’ haul a cab.” Soap said, pocketing the notepad and pen.

“You’ve entertained me these past few hours. Allow me to help.” Ghost insisted.

The words he used made Soap tense up a bit before shaking his head, heading towards the door, reaching for the doorknob. Ghost’s gloved hand gripped Soap’s as soon as his skin touched the knob.

“Let me help.” Ghost said in a soft voice.

“R-Right… Speed…” Soap murmured softly. Ghost nodded before the Scot huffed, “Aight fine.” The masked vampire let go of the human so he could open the door. The two ducked out of the house and right as Ghost finished closing the door, Soap was in his arms bridal style. The rush of movement change made Soap’s stomach churn slightly. He wrapped his arms around Ghost’s neck, holding on tightly.

“Jus’ ta the nearest cab area is fine… Thank you, Ghost.” Soap requested before he tightly shut his eyes. Wind hit him as if it was chunks of snow being blown into his face. He could now understand why Ghost covered his body, well, other than the sun of course.

“We’re ‘ere.” The soft tone of Ghost’s voice said as Soap opened his eyes, he was standing on a busy-ish street, but Ghost was nowhere in sight. Soap hailed a cab and informed the driver of the location of where he needed to go. The human checked his phone as the car pulled away. Ghost ran for only a few minutes and saved him 40 minutes. He’d be able to make it.

Soap cursed and hit the back of his head against the headrest of the cab. He forgot to leave something to let Ghost know he’d be back. Hopefully at the same time next week. He’d just have to make the trek without announcing his presence, again.

That would be next week's Soap problem though. He needed to focus on that meeting today.

NSR Halloween DLC ideas, just in time for Spooky Night!

The soundtrack for the Halloween DLC would feature instruments associated with the holiday being incorporated into the songs, such as pipe organ and theremin.

The Bosses

DJ Subatomic Supernova

DJSS is a scarecrow, wearing a straw hat, flannel shirt, and denim overalls (cut-off, of course!).

For the battlefield, the background of the Planetarium is a deep orange. The planets he uses to attack are replaced with pumpkins, and the asteroids are replaced by a swarm of crows.

Sayu

Sayu is a cute ghost girl. (I felt it would be fitting since she’s a floaty character.) She's slightly translucent and sports a ghostly wisp-like tail rather than her regular mermaid tail. Her colour palette features off-whites and faded pastels, making her look more etherial.

Sayu wears a tattered white Victorian/Lolita-style dress, lacy cuffs around her wrists and a little bow on her head.

For Phase 2, her dress becomes poofier and more elaborate as small ribbons resembling tentacles appear around her waist. Her trident is completely white.

Phase 3 has her go full-on ghost bride. Her dress has a huge multi-tiered skirt, her hair is adorned with a long veil, and her tentacle ribbons have grown to full length. Her deep-sea mode has her face turn glowing green with solid black eyes, making her resemble a spookfish, while her “tentacles” feature flickering lights similar to a bioluminescent jellyfish.

Her final form is basically your stereotypical bedsheet ghost shape with her legs sticking out the bottom.

Sayu’s team are dressed in dark wizard-like robes, and each of them are wearing masks like the ones worn by Lock, Shock, and Barrel from The Nightmare Before Christmas. 

For the battlefield, the “landscape” is dotted with jack-o-lanterns, tombstones, and dead trees. The background is changed to a seafoam green color, with wispy little ghosts flying about.

Yinu and Mother 

Yinu is dressed as a cute little witch. Her hair is in pigtails similar to her Christmas skin, and her witch hat is adorned with fall leaves and little jack-o-lanterns.

Mother, meanwhile, is a spooky Halloween tree with spiders. Her dress is a dark wood colour with translucent, ragged-edged sleeves, and she wears a thorny hairband and spiderweb earrings.

The ends of her “hair” have been dyed the same colour as her dress, and she wears both black lipstick and black nail polish.

When she grows bigger, her branches begin to sprout large thorns, which end up making her cage form look more like a spiderweb. (There are even little fake spiders sitting on top of it!)

For the battlefield, the stage is decorated to evoke a bountiful harvest, with pumpkins, hay bales, bundles of wheat, stalks of corn, apple trees, cornucopias, and garlands of leaves.

Both the gate and the giant piano hammers are adorned with thorny branches and autumn leaves.

1010 

1010 are pirate ghosts. (As a fun gag, Blue could wear two eyepatches instead of his sunglasses!)

Meanwhile, Neon J is their ghostly captain, complete with a captain’s hat, a sword at his belt, a fake parrot on his shoulder, and – once again – a fake beard attached to his screen head.

For the battlefield, the flying limousine is decked out to look like a pirate ship, with a mast, a crow’s nest, and a tattered sail.

(I felt 1010 as pirates would be fitting since they're a navy-themed boyband and Neon J was a captain in the navy.)

Eve 

Eve is dressed as Medusa.

Her dark green dress has a scaly pattern, and she accessories with a lot of gold, including spiralling gold sandals and a golden diadem crown.

Her hair has been dyed, shaped, and styled to look like several little writhing serpents.

Her backpiece is composed of even more snakes in gold and teal which wrap around her upper torso and spread out behind her like a peacock’s tail.

Eve’s pupils even become snake-like starting at Phase 2!

For the battlefield, Eve’s gallery has been transformed into an Ancient Greek temple, but with a postmodern/vapourwave twist. Stylized Greco-Roman columns with snakes wrapped around them line the walls, and an ancient looking gold chandelier hangs from the ceiling. The left side would be eggplant purple while the right side would be cerulean blue.

If the player gets hit by the eye lasers from Eve’s giant statue, they’ll actually turn to stone and be frozen in place for a short time.

For Phase 2, on Mayday’s side, the snakes wrapped around the columns have grown larger and are now looming over Mayday, their faces twisted into angry snarls (representing Eve’s derisiveness and hostility towards May).

Meanwhile, Zuke’s side features floating fragments of ruined columns (representing how lost and incomplete Eve felt after Zuke left her). 

Phase 3 is where it really starts to get trippy. Both rooms feature ruined columns and floating shards, along with giant brightly colored snakes slithering all over the background.

The shards in Zuke’s side reflect images of faces screaming in anguish, while the shards on Mayday’s side have limbs protruding from them- one shard has three legs protruding from them in reference to a trinacia. (Look up what a trinacia is to understand the reference!)

Tatiana

Tatiana is a vampire.

She wears black and red robes with bat wing-edged sleeves and a wide collar. Her earrings are coffin shaped, and she has small, pointed fangs that can be seen when she opens her mouth.

At the beginning of her battle, she starts throwing flaming bats.

For the battlefield, Tatiana's office/battle arena is made to feel like a vampire’s castle tower.

The whole room is lit with a deep red glow, and the tall windows that feature the NSR murals are topped with pointed arches, giving them a Gothic look.

You can even see some glass bottles filled with (ahem) red liquid on Tatiana’s desk.

Meanwhile, the Goolings' stage outside is decorated with jack-o-lanterns and hanging skeletons.

DK West

DK West is dressed as Frankenstein FrankenWest!

His look consists of neck bolts, stitch markings, and a dark ragged recolour of his original outfit.

His bull shadow puppet has matching neck bolts, which even emit shadowy electricity when it appears during the battle.

Bunk Bed Junction

Mayday

Mayday is dressed as an imp, wearing a bright red dress with black sleeves and waistcoat, black wings, red horns, and a red tail.

Her guitar is deep purple and splattered with glowing orange paint. It emits a wolf howl when she powers it up for the Showstopper.

Zuke 

Zuke is a werewolf. Ragged clothes with fake fur poking out, extra fur attached to his forearms (don’t ask how got it on there), pointed ears, a bushy tail, pointed fangs, his nose has been painted. Pretty simple.

His drumsticks are splattered with glowing green paint and tipped with tiny light-up pumpkins.

The Other NPCs

Ellie has little bat wings attached to her back and wears a springy bat antenna headband.

And last but not least, 

Kliff . . . is just wearing a pair of Groucho Marx glasses. Yup. That's it.

Let me know what you all think. I’d love to hear some feedback. Thanks for reading! Happy Halloween!

Trick-or-Treat!

Ragdoll Galan Gaeaf from my shared au with @zanzaflux the "Magic-Ink au".

The boy got a bit of a glow up, and the design is courtesy of Zanza. A pumpkin headed Jack-o-lantern of a scarecrow, the representative of the end of the fall harvest, and the festivals that follow. A demon who thrives on the bountiful feasts and whose head lights the path for souls around him to come home.

[theharrowing]

🎃 this or that: bts at a harvest festival 🎃

i come from a farming state where the harvest fests always took place out in the middle of nowhere, under the hot, hot sun. think pumpkin decorating, costume contests, petting zoos, and more! 👻my games get wordy, but i hope you enjoyyy!

challenge Seokjin to a round of bobbing for apples (he claims his large mouth is superior but you don't go down without a fight!!!) OR agree to keep track of how many apples Jungkook can get (but lose count while resisting the urge to pat his butt. it's right there!!!) 🍂 hold Hoseok's hand while walking through the corn maze (it's marketed for children but he's still afraid.) OR build a scarecrow with Yoongi (he even brought some of his old flannels to use!) 🍂 dress in couple's costumes with Jimin (the Barbie/Ken to his Ken!) OR let Namjoon paint your face at one of the activity booths (he did a cat nose & whiskers, and you can tell he wants you to paint him next.) 🍂 wander with Taehyung while he helps a lost child locate their parent (you come up with fun songs along the way.) OR hold onto the goat snacks for Jungkook while he feeds them from his palm (this way, your hand stays slobber-free!) 🍂 decorate pumpkins with Hoseok (he's hoarding all the glitter paints!) OR mummify Namjoon with several rolls of gauze (everyone is amused by how many you end up using just for his thighs, alone!) 🍂 cheer Taehyung on while he plays classic carnival games & performs feats of strength (with his sleeves rolled up, ohh la-la!) OR make flower crowns with Jimin (you hope he will want to exchange them, and you match the flowers that you pick out to his outfit.) 🍂 go apple & berry picking with Yoongi (all the while planning what to bake with your bounty) OR ride the "haunted" hay ride with Seokjin once the sun sets (he thinks it's funny to try to startle you, but he also keeps an arm draped over your shoulder.)

feel free to reblog with your responses so that i can see them! and tag all your friends!!!👻 thank you to my baby star candy @echotoyou to coming up with this idea!!! i had fun putting this together!

Cabin 4, Demeter

The walls of Demeter’s cabin are covered in living plants—vines, flowers, and moss that seem to grow magically without any care

Campers swear they’ve seen the plants shift and bloom to fit the season, almost like the cabin itself is alive

The roof of the cabin is a small garden, filled with herbs, vegetables, and colorful flowers

Demeter’s kids spend a lot of time up there, tending to the plants, and sometimes even hosting small “garden parties” for other campers

The cabin always smells like a fresh garden, with hints of lavender, basil, and wildflowers

Other campers come to the cabin when they need a breather or a little pick-me-up from the calming, earthy fragrance

There’s a small indoor garden patch inside the cabin that’s always in bloom, producing seasonal fruits, veggies, and grains

Demeter’s kids have a reputation for bringing the best snacks to campfire nights, sharing the cabin’s harvest with everyone

The cabin is filled with hand-crafted wreaths, dried flowers, and woven baskets

Demeter’s kids are pros at making flower crowns, herbal satchels, and other natural crafts, which they often gift to their friends at camp

Demeter’s kids have a natural touch with plants

They can make flowers bloom with a flick of their hand, and they know how to calm down angry vegetation (like the vines around the Demeter cabin) if it gets a little too overgrown

At the back of the cabin, there’s a greenhouse room that’s bursting with rare and magical plants

Some of these plants are enchanted and can move, glowing faintly in the moonlight, which makes it a favorite place for midnight visits

The cabin changes with the seasons

In spring, it’s full of fresh blooms and pastels; in summer, it’s vibrant green; in autumn, it’s a warm display of golden leaves and ripe grains; and in winter, the cabin has wreaths of evergreen and holly

Demeter’s kids are in charge of the camp’s vegetable garden

They’re known for their “green thumbs”, and they enjoy helping out their friends with herbal remedies, garden care tips, and even little plant charms for good luck

The cabin doors and windows are covered with vine curtains that grow thicker if anyone enters with bad intentions

Only Demeter’s kids can control the vines, and they seem to respond to the demigod’s moods

Demeter kids carry pouches with enchanted seeds

In emergencies, they can plant these seeds to create protective walls of plants or summon vines to help them out

The seeds grow almost instantly, providing a powerful, natural shield

There’s a small kitchen in the cabin where Demeter’s kids bake fresh bread, fruit preserves, and herbal teas

Their snacks are famous across camp, and they have a reputation for being the “parental” ones, always offering healthy food to their friends

Nymphs, dryads, and other nature spirits often hang around the cabin

Demeter’s kids have a special connection with these spirits, and they can often be found chatting with a nymph or bonding over plant care tips

Demeter’s kids often wear earthy colors like greens, browns, and yellows

They’re usually covered in bits of soil or have flowers in their hair, and they take pride in their rustic, down-to-earth style

Demeter’s cabin has a tradition of family meals, especially after the harvest

They set a long table, decorate it with fresh-picked flowers, and enjoy the cabin’s garden bounty together

It’s a time for stories, laughter, and, of course, lots of food

Outside the cabin stands a magical scarecrow, affectionately called “Gus,” who protects the garden from any unwanted intruders

Some say Gus can move, although only Demeter’s kids have seen him come to life to fend off mischievous campers

There’s a section of the cabin’s garden dedicated to medicinal herbs

Demeter’s kids know how to make teas, salves, and potions from these plants, which they use to help out the infirmary or heal small injuries among the campers

Oh Mij 😍🙈 „can I kiss you?“ „took you so long to ask“ for him? 🥺

It's A Love Story

Summary: After Mij brings you to Kamino for medical attention, some things come to light.

Pairing: Mij Gilamar x F!Reader

Word Count: 1026

Warnings: None

Tagging: @trixie2023 @n0vqni

A/N: So this is a sequel to the story from yesterday, or a continuation? Either way. I hope you like it!

“Cheerful place,” You drawl as you peek out the viewport at the waterlogged planet that Mij was bringing you to. “I like the lack of sunlight, it brings real atmosphere to the place.”

Mij rolls his eyes as he sends a landing request, “You don’t have to stay long, just long enough that I don’t have to worry about you falling apart like a scarecrow.”

“I’m fine.” You say automatically.

Mij arches a brow and reaches over to poke your side, causing you to double over in pain, “No, you’re not.”

“Well, yeah, of course it hurts when you poke me,” You say as you blink the pained tears out of your eyes, “Jerk.”

Mij brings the ship down to the landing pad, and watches as the droids scurry around securing the ship, “I know, I know. I’m sorry.” He pauses, “Listen, do you know Jango Fett?”

“You mean the most well known and dangerous bounty hunter in the galaxy? The Jango Fett that everyone who walks on, let’s say, the opposite side of the law knows and recognizes on sight? That Jango Fett?”

“Yeah.”

“Never heard of him.” You say with a grin.

Mij shoots you a look.

“Relax, pretty boy, I’m on the up and up. I work for Maz.” You lean back in your seat with a pained groan, “Everything’s technically above board and all.”

“Yeah, how did you manage to snag an employee contract with Maz Kanata anyway?” Mij asks.

“Don’t worry about it,” You reply vaguely.

The doors to the ship slide open, and heavy boots stomp of the loading ramp, “I was wondering why the Red Robin was landing here.” Jango Fett drawls from where he’s standing in the doorway.

“If you drip water on my floor, Fett, I’m going to send you my cleaning bill.” You call over your shoulder.

“Well, for that I’m going to intentionally drip water all over your floor.” Jango replies as he moves into the cockpit, and he glances at you, “Wow, you look like shit.”

“Shoo. Go away. I’m injured.”

Jango shoots you a dismissive look, “Mij, what happened to your ship?”

“It blew up, and she was kind enough to fly to my rescue.” Mij replies with a shrug.

“And what happened to you?” Jango asks, flicking his gaze over to you.

“The Hutts take offense to someone, maybe, interfering with their slave operation.” You reply, “So they sent Trandoshans after me.”

“Huh. I’m surprised you’re not dead.” Jango mutters.

“See, this is why you don’t have friends, Fett.” You grumble right back at him.

“I’ll take you off my Life Day Card list,” He counters with a roll of his eyes, “She can stay, but only for a little bit.”

Mij gets to his feet, and helps you, painfully, to your feet. “Yeah, yeah. Don’t worry so much, I’ll handle it.”

Jango rolls his eyes again, and moves to your other side to help you off the ship, “Honestly, if it wasn’t for Maz-”

“Children, play nice.” Mij says with a sigh as he pulls the hood of your jacket over your head, and then the three of you step into the rain. 

With Jango’s help, Mij gets you into his apartment and settled on the couch. And once Jango leaves, muttering something about having a job in Republic Space, Mij crouches in front of you.

“So…welcome to Kamino.” He says wryly.

You gaze at him silently for a moment, “I wasn’t going to ask with Jango right there, but you can’t expect me to say nothing about the actual army of identical teenagers-”

“Jango was hired to be a template for an army,” Mij says, “And I was hired to teach some of them how to be medics.”

You suck on your teeth for a moment, “This is karked. An army for who? Mandalore?”

“That would make sense, wouldn’t it?” Mij replies dryly, “But no…an army for the Republic.”

You stare at him, hard, “The republic isn’t at war, Mij.”

“Give it a couple of years.”

“Mij-”

“I know. I know.” He stands and pulls a first aid kit from under his bed, “Jango called me, I couldn’t not answer. Shirt off, sweetheart.”

With his help you peel your jacket and shirt off, allowing him access to your injuries, “So, what, you’re teaching a bunch of kids how to be soldiers? For a Republic that Jango doesn’t believe in?” You sigh, “Maz was right, this situation is karked.”

Mij’s hands pause against your side, “Maz knows?”

“Maz is kriffing omniscient, Mij. Or have you forgotten?”

“I must have,” He admits with a laugh, before he returns to tending to your injuries.

“Shouldn’t you be wearing gloves or something?” You ask him, after a moment of feeling his warm fingers sliding against your side.

“Yes. I am.” He replies.

You focus your gaze on his head, “I can see you’re getting right on that.” You say sarcastically.

His cheeks darken slightly, and he very pointedly doesn’t reply to you.

You grin at him, “Aww, Mij. Do you like touching me?”

“I like touching you more when you’re not being a smart ass,” He counters.

“You only like me for my body,” You say with a sniff.

“Your personality isn’t too bad,” Mij says after a moment, as he wraps a bandage around your side, and then he looks up at you, a small smile on his lips. 

“Well that’s just a glowing recommendation, isn’t it?” You joke, “I’ll put that on my next resume.”

Mij reaches up and lightly presses his hand against your cheek, “Angel,” He murmurs, “Can I kiss you?��

You smile at him, “Took you long enough to ask,” You lean into his touch, “Yes, you can.”

He surges up and crashes his lips against yours, his hand sliding from your cheek to the back of your neck to hold you closer. “Stop being so smug,” He mumbles against your lips.

“Make me.” You reply, as you wrap your arms around his neck and slide your fingers through his hair.

Mij chuckles, “Maybe when you’re not injured, cyare.” And then he kisses you again, much deeper than before.

[cruel-hiraeth]

omg please tell us about the otome men you love!!

i’ve played many otome games over the years—on steam, itch.io, and the switch—but i would say the standouts thus far have been: bustafellows, nightshade, and birushana. nightshade and birushana are both historical fiction which i LOVE, and bustafellows is so dynamic…i know there’s a second installment in the works, and i’ll definitely be playing it when it comes out.

i will add that i haven’t played these games in a couple years so my memory isn’t the best (although now i want to replay each game since i refreshed myself jfhdjbdjjsj).

bustafellows

shu 🤍 i knew from the moment i met him that i would love him. he’s sexy, experienced, straightforward, and mysterious. i clearly have a thing for bounty hunters (cough zoro cough) LOL

scarecrow 🩷 i was surprised by how hard i fell for him? he’s silly but so layered. his backstory is tragic, yet he’s able to build himself a little family with the gang…he’s best boy fr fr, no notes—just love!

nightshade

hanzo hattori 💚 he’s the oldest LI in the game (mid-30s i believe) which already had me on my hands and knees. discovering who he is was a big twist (and only made me fall for him more…mysterious men ily…) i love how he pushes MC to learn to fend for herself—something that none of the other LIs did. and ofc he’s a secret romantic uwu. i fear i will never not fall for a kuudere LOL

birushana

yoritomo minamoto 💜 i knew i would love yoritomo bc he’s a brocon kuudere…what more could i ever dream of? he’s a pivotal character regardless of the LI you’re pursuing, and he’s incredibly emotionally closed off, so it’s rewarding to slowly watch him open up. also he’s gorgeous, powerful, thoughtful, and strong; there’s so much to love!

tomomori taira 🤍 SIGH. never mind the fact that he’s blond 🔫 toxic evil red flag sadistic yanderes you will never not enthrall me. my favorite dynamic is enemies to lovers, and he provides exactly that—oh so deliciously, might i add…i was expecting yoritomo to be my overall fave of the game, but i think tomomori wins out slightly bc he’s sooooo awful :’-)

He’s not invisible, as he’s reminded Dream time and time again - people can definitely see him. They just don’t notice. He blends into plain sight, totally diverting all attention like water off of a duck. Usually, anyway. Orpheus, however, stiffens a little as Tommy draws nearer. He starts glancing around, as if struck by sudden paranoia. Tommy draws up in front of him, staff clenched in one hand, and Orpheus starts turning as if to check behind him. “What’s that,” Orpheus mutters. “Who’s there-“ Tommy pulls his staff back and slams it into Orpheus’s stomach, hard. Orpheus stumbles. He wheezes, choking, and then looks up at Tommy and fixes him with a burning stare. “Who the fuck are you,” Orpheus says, eyes wild and oddly delighted. “Where were you hiding?” __ Suspected of betraying the Hero Guild, Apprentice hero Tommy (A.K.A. Blindspot) is put under Security Protocol Catbag: a locked-on noise cancelling mask equipped with truth gas. His mentor, Dream, calls it a necessary teaching tool. Meanwhile, SBI wants to know why their least favorite loudmouth little Hero has suddenly stopped talking.

Three months of being on the run, trying to find a safe way out of Kinoko without being caught by the president's mercenaries or an opportunistic bounty hunter. It's hard, but it would be a lot easier if he didn't have to worry about George's sudden taste for wandering. Or the two guides that have worked their way into his group, promising them a safer way out of the kingdom. And it would be a whole lot easier if Sapnap wasn't flying solo, doing a job made for two.

He wears sacred gold and carries weapons of precious netherite. He is a god, and they have been his favored people for as long as anyone can remember. He comes to their village and trades sacred gold for their potions and eyes of ender. The Blood God walks among them, and they are honored. They have always traded fairly with the Blood God. Sacred gold for offerings of pearls potions and other difficult to acquire things. But this time the Blood God granted them his favor, this time he turned aside their enemies with his open hand and took nothing in return. It is not done to simply take from the gods. The debt must always be repaid. He has saved their lives, they must offer him a life in return. And their eyes fall on him. Technoblade is not a coward.

The Observer boomed, and Phil frowned at him, but couldn't do much else. The big fucker raised both his arms in dramatic fashion, his long sweeping sleeves spreading out like large wings, and when he dropped him there were two people kneeling beside him, and Phil's stomach dropped in kind. "Pick your gift." "You've got to be fucking kidding me." Phil breathed, looking at the two men, heads bowed demurely. They almost could've been statues if they hadn't been breathing and Phil felt suddenly like he was on the verge of throwing up. Cellbit's face had gone cold and distant, and expression Phil hadn't seen in a long fucking time, and expression he'd never hoped to see again. "You can't be fucking serious." I.e. Missa is given to Philza as a prize. They both do their best despite the circumstances.

Until Tango shows up, scared, young, and alone, having left an abusive household several months prior. Cleo takes it upon herself to care for the child, enroll him in school, help him continue his life. But for Tango, life can never be the same.

And then he meets Jimmy, and finds himself through music, and they show him that the grass really is greener on the other side.

The Devil’s Harvest by: Peach-artblog

The autumn winds chill the air as the leaves turn red as nature's life soon ends and will begin anew in spring, the fields in a town filled with nature's bounty thanks to the harvest god. The townsfolk treasure the harvest more than life itself and wish to not anger the god that rules the land, a devil from another world that lives in the windmill and watches any fool who dares enter the corn field. The devil waits as he sees children playing in the corn field the littlest child cries, “we shouldn’t play here! Mom says we'll get in trouble!”The older children laughed and teased him as they ran towards the field. The eldest grabbed the youngest and said, “why are you scared?, afraid the devil might take you?” As he pushed the youngest towards the field nearly grazing as he closed towards the corn he began to cry as the eldest boys grew angry and pushed him in the field as they laughed. All of a sudden the crying stopped, “hey now that's not funny why you stopped crying?” no reply as the wind blew the corn stood still the children panicked, “we need to go in there and get him!” the other replied in fear, “are you crazy we can’t go in there!” They both stood there trying to call his name as the little one walked in the field towards a scarecrow quietly sitting on a cross as a crow quietly slept on his shoulder. The little one thinks about the poem his mother told him about the field.

"A dead man lives in the field a crow is his shield as he waits for the night to fall the harvest shall begin only to please the devil that lives in the windmill." As he looked at the scarecrow lifeless the windmill creaked as it started to spin slowly as if the sky is being pushed towards nightfall the child panicked trying to run but it was too late the harvest has started, the scarecrow falls off his post as the crow awakens and talked to the little boy, “only a fool will come here let alone a mere child.” as he waves his scythe the devil watched with glee as the screams filled the field with blood. The next morning as a mother cries for her son only to find him replaced with a bountiful harvest offered by the devil at her door step the two boys regretfully stood quiet as the mother held the pumpkin as if it was her own son's lifeless body never letting go as her husband tried to pull it off her the villagers shrugged it off and continued with their duties as the elder asked the two boys what have happened they denied ever being near the field and said they lost him beforehand as if they weren’t at fault as the devil watched them in the shadows whispering, “oh how I love when they lie, humans are cold hearted and selfish!” The elder shrugged it off as he walked away and told the man of the house to control his wife for if the devil sees her displeased with the harvest they’ll be sure to come for the rest of them as he said cold heartily. The village is controlled by fear as they are blessed with the bountiful harvest in return for blood of a fool who dares enter the field only to please a devil. The scarecrow waits for his master's order for as long as it takes till the next victim comes.

[lea-andres]

Okay but us both mistaking the art for a real cancelled thing aside LOL, if you could make a wild west gotham show, what would you do? 👀 im v curio,,,

(I'm glad it wasn't just me lmao)

WHAT WOULD I DO THAT IS THE QUESTION! 🤔

Definitely some sort of Lone Ranger flavored situation lmao. Bruce Wayne dons a mask and a goth bat/cowboy outfit thing to do like... vigilante bounty hunter stuff.

The horse would definitely be a character. "Lea, that's silly" We have Bat-Cow. Next question. Actually fuck it, invite Bat-Cow too. Can't be cowboys without cows.

I stand by my earlier remark about how Penguin should be a oil baron/business tycoon trying to level the town for... Idk take your pick. Oil, gold, laying out the railroad... He fits that part so perfectly.

Lazarus Pit was definitely found while mining and the mining town turned into the League of Assassins (I don't know if I'd keep that name in a cowboy story, but they're definitely a cult worshipping this magical pit they found, because tbh what else are you gonna do in a mining town lmao.)

I don't know what to do with Joker... Or Riddler for that matter... Scarecrow DEFINITELY fits with little alteration, Mad Hatter could fit if you followed his 60s iteration and leaned out of Alice in Wonderland and into hats specifically (I mean... c'mon. Hats are a big deal to cowboys, they're basically their sunscreen) Catwoman still works, of course.

And then of course, what the artist of the Harley and Ivy art was cooking there. Perfect, 10/10 lmao.
