Funtime Freddy just being so sweet to Eclipse (And short, damn I didn't know how tall Eclipse was), just made me think of that Connecticut man meme.

[senfrogs band au] the sillies in merch ft. two pretty bestfriends ✌🏽⭐️

[clownzaf]

I know that people love to headcanon Tim as a child of Athena, I personally like to headcanon him as child of Hades due to his similarities with Nico and the fact that dead seems to follow that kid like a motherfucker but never actually reach HIM.

But hear me out.

Tim as a child of Dionysus. And he gets claimed during the Bruce-quest.

When he was in Gotham monsters were a usual thing. You never knew that they were there for your godly blood, you just thought that they were things created by pollution or something like that. And when he became Robin fighting things that wanted to kill you while saying weird things was more usual than a hug (not that that was a hug standard for Tim).

But then everyone started dying. His parents, Kon, Bart, Steph, BRUCE. Everyone. Every. One.

And Tim…Tim couldn’t seem to reach madness. I mean YEAH he wasn’t doing great by any standard, but he knew madness, he grew up in madness, and he wasn’t going mad.

The cloning was just a treat.

And during the Bruce-quest, everyone thought he was crazy, he was casted away because everyone thought he was crazy CRAZY Tim can’t he crazy! He knows that! He knows that in his blood that going crazy isn’t a chance for him. He made everyone crazy when they were around him (hence Jason. He knew that Jason was mad at him from the start, but going near Tim lighted a flame inside him that Tim is sure isn’t completely Jason’s) but Tim couldn’t go crazy. He could ACT crazy. But never too serious.

And then, in the depths of Greece, he met his dad. His real dad.

He always knew that Jake wasn’t his dad. The blonde hair his mother forced him to dye since he was 5 and the purple eyes his father forced him to hide with contacts told him that. But Tim grew up looking up at Jack, even if Jack didn’t love him, he was the dad that decided to (figuratively) stay. And Tim loved him till death.

But when that man appeared, Tim knew, with only a moment of stares, that that man was his father. They talked a bit, too. The man knew about everything Tim was doing, and that creeped Tim out, but when the man made appear a glass of wine for Tim (and one side for himself) and Tim drank it, he knew what he was.

Something on the flavor, on the feeling. It was Tim. It was home. Something he hadn’t feel in a long time.

He spent the rest of the quest feeling sure that he would make it, because somewhere on the heavens his dad was looking out for him, he promised he was. And this time it wasn’t a figuratively sentimental bullshit. His dad was really helping on the heavens. And Tim was gonna make it.

He saw him again when the quest ended. He appeared in all of his godly glory while Tim was living in the nest. He opened a can of soda and sat on his couch like he wasn’t a man Tim has only met twice, but that was ok, because that was his dad, and he was choosing to visit him. (Also, he wasn’t going to say no to a literal GOD) .

He yapped for two hours about the kids at the camp his dad forced him to work at ( “HE IS SUCH AN A-HOLE SOMETIMES TIM YOU DONT UNDERSTAND-“) and the more he talked about that camp, the more invested Tim got. At the end of it the man, his dad, just looked at him in the eye and said “y’know if you were there we could do this more often. Yer a better listener than that centaur. Also, I think your brothers would like having you there”

He leaves immediately for camp after that. The family thinks Tim decided to leave them for not believing in him, so it’s a shock when he comes back after the summer being great with a sword and with a Tan his skin haven’t known before, not even after fighting crime during the hottest days on San Francisco, and he was happy, like actually happy. A kind of happy he never was with them.

Tim made friends there. He was friends with Annabeth, a girl from the Athena cabin, who honestly thought that Tim was one of them after they had a talk about strategies on the field and all that, and was about to fist fight Dionysus for claiming one of her brothers. She still called him brother, but now she understood that Tim was a Dionysus kid. And her boyfriend Percy. They talked all night about the weight of being a leader and having your people die without you being able to do anything. Percy talked about a boy named Ethan and two girls named Zoe and Bianca. Tim talked about Steph, Kon and Bart.

Tim told him about the Bruce-quest, and Percy told him about the time he was ready to fist fight a good to get his mother back from the underworld.

He also fully loved his brother. Pollux was great and made him feel welcomed to camp. They talked during lunch and Pollux showed him every single thing that made camp especial. He also teached him how to make fun of their dad without turning into a dolphin, so yeah. They got along like a house on fire.

He also made friends with a girl from the Aphrodite cabin. Her name is Drew. She was kind of an asshole and tried flirting with him, and THEY DID GET TOGETHER FOR A BIT, but after some time they decided they were better as friends. And friends they were. Best friend even.

He never told the Batfam any of this.

So after some months in Gotham there’s a cult going around calling themselves “Children of Dionysus” and doing atrocious things.

Duke walked in on Tim trashing the training room of the cave, and later on Jason walked in on Tim having his fourth bottle of wine.

Tim was FURIOUS. Not only that was disrespectful to his dad, but to his brother and himself too. He was going to pick every part of that little cult and trash it.

There he meets Bernard. Then they get on a relationship.

When a sathyr comes to take Bernard to camp Tim goes with him, excited to have his dad meeting his boyfriend.

Dionysus has never been more uncomfortable than when he had to claim his son’s boyfriend in front of him. It wasn’t that hard before! But now they had those things against incest on the human world and he knew this wouldn’t be pleasant to any of his sons.

I've been working on a dp x dc fic that has rather quickly become the home of the "Jazz is Gotham's Favorite Psychiatrist" au I posted about a few days ago and I've just really fell in love with the idea of Queer Platonic Murder Gremlins Damian & Dani/Elle being absolute terrors to their family and deciding to get married when they turn 18 for the sake of avoiding various people trying to date/marry them to get to their family's respective shit (the Wayne's money & social standing in Gotham as billionaire socialites, the Nightingale's massive power and influence over the Infinite Realms as the royal family).

Damien casually mentions he and his demon beastie Elle got married the day before without even glancing up from his food and completely derailing what was actually turning out to be a pretty calm family dinner for once. His siblings are losing their shit because what the fuck Damian, Bruce is having a crisis - he didn’t even know they were dating??? And he just found out Elle's sister/guardian is the mysterious doctor that he thinks is making some of his rogues disappear??? Damian didn’t even invite them to the wedding has he completely failed as a father?? - meanwhile Alfred is just there knowing full well that the two kids are little Aro/Ace menaces - he bought them each their first Ace ring for Pride this year he knows what's up - and deciding "actually I have something to do in the kitchen" and letting the chaos reign.

The Nightingales are fully aware of what's up (Danny was the one who had to do the presiding over everything in the Ghost Zone side of things and Jazz is a notary on top of everything else and signed off on all the paperwork on the human side) and are just enjoying all the various entities that were pushing for an arranged marriage between themselves and Elle for power or whatever bullshit having hissy fits over losing to some human kid. They're especially having fun not telling Constantine the specifics of the whole thing and letting him sweat it out over the fact that the Crown Princess of the Infinite Realms apparently just married the "Demon Heir" whoever in - literal - hell that is and she now is in possession of all his soul contracts.

[dasketcherz]

Hear me out: Varigo as Timebomb. Varian and Jinx are both insane geniuses with complicated villain arcs after losing a family member, plus they both have a thing for making brightly colored explosives. And Hugo is definitely completely whipped for Varian the same way Ekko is for Jinx, imagine him having time-related abilities and trying again and again to save Varian from getting possessed by Ulla (especially if the possession does not have a good ending for Varian).

I'M GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO SEES IT !!!!!

I LITERALLY ALSO DESCRIBED TO MY MATE A DAY AGO THAT "TIMEBOMB IS JUST LIKE VARIGO BUT MORE DEPRESSINGLY TRAGIC"

dude the way au!ekko literally has the same undercut ponytail hairstyle like hugo... has earrings like hugo...wears a green themed academic wardrobe (that i can absolutely see Hugo wear) and au!jinx has a streak hair and wears a dark teal fit with red accent colors and suspenders literally like 7k Varian, your honor thats literally a green x blue pair variants of each other

our jinx even has that side bang thing goin on, like is that an inventor thing istg

also being literally called "baby blue" by other characters cuz of her hair and baby blue eyes cmooooon, not to mention being abnormally strong enough to carry around weaponry thrice her size too like varian

and hugo being affiliated with clocks a few couple times in fics cuz he's a mechanic engineer AGHHHHH ITS LITERALLY PERFECT

[gemharvest]

Okay hear me out (and I will forget I sent an ask in again 2 seconds later) RGB as crystal gems

PREFACING THIS ART WITH AN "I'm sorry I didn't lean more into the SU side of things" I am being so fr I don't wanna mess with trying to figure out more gem-like outfits for them so they're basically the same except with limited palettes and also gems. I don't think it's actually gonna matter to anyone but ANSJKNKDGJ if I don't open with that my brain will Explode. /lh

GO CRAZY GO STUPID AHHHHHH. GEMS. I'm going to have to put my bullet points under a read more just cuz I know I am about to fucking Go Off. grins

Girlfriend is a red diamond. Boyfriend is a peridot. Pico is a green spinel.

GIRLFRIEND:

Went with a diamond cuz of the status thing. I am almost worried it feels like too easy of a pull but I doonnn't care I think it'd be fun if she was a diamond. :) Red obviously because it's her color.

Playing off the status thing; ofc her parents would also be diamonds and so you can have the reasoning of "oh this isn't a high-rank gem" for them not liking Boyf. I mean if you need any reasoning aside from them just being unreasonable LOL but that's always there.

Placement on her chest because !! love !!!! That's also why it's a heart-shaped cut instead of a. Diamond shape.

My backup assignment for her would be a jasper because I think it'd suit her well to be any quartz, and with jasper you can get close to her reds !! The status thing is really what made me decide on a diamond tho.

As I type this I realize there are some vaaaguee similarities to Pink I could pull as extra reasoning but shruuuugs my brain is NOT in an analytical mood rn so I'll just let others chew on that for me.

This isn't really relevant to RGB but I wanna mention it: I think it'd be funny if the demon henchmen were rubies.

BOYFRIEND:

The biggest factor for me going peridot with him is the fact that a common headcanon for canon Peridot is that she's autistic and while I mostly work with ADHD Boyf myself (since that's the experience I can pull from personally)... I am a sucker for a good autistic/AuDHD read with him.

This man is short and Era 2 peridots are short. If I drew him SU style this guy would need limb enhancers. lol

Instead of a prohibition symbol his shirt has the outline of a star. I just find that neat. :)

He would sooooooo suck at a peridot's role but also iirc in canon he's a college drop out anyways so it cancels out. He's got that Greg Universe in him.

Honestly, I put his gem placement on the back of his hand bc I had no clue where else to put it. My secondary placement for it would be on his forehead bc it'd make me giggle with him being Dumb but canon Peridot already has the forehead placement so I didn't go ahead with that.

HE STOLE PICO'S GREEN SPOT. spritzing him with water like a naughty dog BAD BOYFRIEND.

PICO:

This is my little indulgent one I really. I really love canon Spinel. This is tangential but like I literally have 4 spinel OCs and then another 4 furry OCs with designs based on canon Spinel. The urge to make One Of Them a spinel was going to be there.

The juxtaposition of him being a gem with an entertainer role and also a hard-ass hitman makes me giggle. Idk I feel like if you already know canon Spinel then you can probably connect the dots as to why I'd imagine him as a spinel as well.

Heart cut because I find it cute and it matches GF. I think a spade shape could be fun too but idk I prefer just going with a heart. Placement on his upper back because. :) Because he can't easily shield it from damage that way. He has to be constantly aware of his surroundings, unless he wants to give someone the chance for an easy hit on him if they sneak up from behind. Little paranoia thing to fuck with him. I'm so nice to Pico !! :D

Bringing back the status thing with GF's parents; I can't help but giggle thinking abt them hiring him. Imagine you get recommended this really good hitman and you meet up and it's a fucking court jester. Fucking ego hit but DD needs the job done so he hires him anyways. AND THEN PICO DOESN'T EVEN CARRY OUT THE FUCKING HIT. Never hiring a clown off of Craigslist again. /JOKING

hits play on this and sits down with my head in my hands

OKAY BEFORE I'M DONE I WANNA MENTION: I made myself give them all gem assignments BUT I do think it would be fun if one of them was not a gem a la Greg and Rose. So I give you: regular canon demon GF and her two gem boyfriends. Takes a bow. (<- honestly might do something further with that for my own fun. teehee)

The Lamb’s disciples…(ref sheets!!)

So as promised like—a month-ish ago, here is it :>! The refs for the Lamb’s disciples plus some some fun info abt them :DD!

Below the cutttt!!!!

Dipal

Lamb’s second first disciple, whom was raised in (almost) his entirety by them ever since they found and rescued him as a baby :] he’s very close to the Lamb and very faithful. Developed a very fun system for managing cult stuff that’s so awfully complicated only he understands. The Lamb lets him be cuz he really does get things running smoothly. Can feel lonely at times. But sure that’s not important

Sylvie

The Lamb’s second disciple! One of the few kids to be born amongst the cult and the only disciple who actually wears vibrant clothes. Their parents died from sickness when she was a teen so she was taken under the Lamb’s wing since he and Dipal were already close from childhood. Always the first one cultists come to when they need an ailment of any sorts. Their tail is very strong :]

Pamneur

The Lamb’s third disciple! She was the child to a couple of heretics that was taken in by the Lamb after they were struck down. She had a hard time adjusting at first but was quickly swept up by Dipal and Sylvie whom she later became close friends with. She has a strong sense of justice and is likely to deal with heretics by giving them passionate speeches on why they shouldn’t give up on faith.

-

These three are extremely close with each other and if you mess with one of them you mess with all. They don’t require golden skull necklaces cuz in my Au’s lore the status of discipleship (gaining a halo) grants immortality as long as the one blessed with it doesn’t lose faith in the god that bestowed it upon them.

So yeah :3 I hope you love em as much as I do cuz they will end up being pretty relevant to the lore. As always, my inbox is always open for further doubts or questions about these sillies. I’d love to hear your thoughts :D!! Until next time :3

Christmas movie au Advent Calendar 🎄

Day Ten: ☕️Hot chocolate☕️

Christmas special tag list: @bunnymermaidsblog @deadlycupid @dustylovelyrun @ladywithalamp @sleepy-night-child @theguywithnonickname

When he had left the Café that night, Talon wasn’t sure if he should really go to the Christmas market at the tree farm.

“But you said you almost kissed! So there is definitely something there! That’s a good thing, I don’t see why it should be a reason not to go to the market,” Halea had said to him over the phone.

“No, it’s not good. The situation is too complicated. It would be better to stay away from him.”

Talon sighed, massaging his temple in an attempt to calm his nerves.

“Is it complicated or are you just making it complicated again?”

“I constantly lie to him, Halea. I’m here to get his father to sell their property, to rob them off their home. And he’s in a relationship already.”

Probably. Maybe.

“You don’t know that,” Halea argued. “You are just assuming again. Have you ever tried to talk to him instead?”

“Even if he’s not in a relationship, did you miss the part where I’m essentially here to ruin their existence?”

“You are ruining no one’s existence. You haven’t even tried to get Mr. Hunter to sell the farm yet. And even then, they will get quite some money for the sale, too.”

“You’re not here, Hal. You don’t know them, you don’t know how much this place means to them. Also it would be a forced sale, their only alternative is getting kicked out.”

Which wasn’t really an alternative at all.

Sooner or later they’d lose anyway, but maybe they’d have more time if he wasn’t here to-

“Talon, I know this situation sucks, but you have to stop freaking out and taking all the blame. You need to figure out what you want and how you want to achieve it instead. Hiding won’t help you. If you really have feelings for him, don’t run away. Act. That’s what you’re known for.”

“But I don’t know what to do,” Talon admitted quietly.

“You will find out.” Halea’s voice was uncharacteristically soft.

“You always do. But until then, try to live a little. Go to that Christmas market. I’ll try to keep your dad off your back for a while.”

“Thank you. You’re the best.”

A soft laugh was heard from the other side of the line.

“Say that again please, I need to record it and send it to our old college friends.”

Talon had laughed then and thanked her again and after he ended the call, decided he’d go to the market on Friday.

And now it was Friday.

Talon got his cloak and Aiden’s scarf and made his way to the Christmas tree farm once again.

He almost didn’t recognize it.

Little booths with all kinds of products were lined up on the yard that was decorated with Christmas lights and fir branches.

Wood was pilled up in the bonfire pit, Christmas music sounded softly from speakers.

All sorts of handcrafts, Christmas decorations and other items were up for the people to buy.

And there were many people.

Aiden really wasn’t lying when he said people came from farther away cities to visit the farm’s Christmas market.

People of all ages were gathered here, the sound of children laughing mixed with the giddy chatter of the adults, all enjoying the magical atmosphere of the market and the farm it took place on.

Talon, too, let himself be pulled into this moment, strolling through the masses and checking out the booths.

Maya waved at him from a booth where she sold the cookies the three of them had made last time.

Talon waved back at her, before starting to search for the person he was here for in the first place.

He found Aiden as he was helping a little girl to pick out the “perfect Christmas tree”.

With the patience of an angel he let her inspect every single tree, leading her to the next when she found something she didn’t like about the tree before.

Talon watched them silently for a while.

Only when the perfect tree was found and Aiden waved back at the girl as she and her family walked away with the tree did he make himself known.

“Hey,” Aiden’s eyes sparkled as he greeted Talon.

His gaze flickered down to the scarf around Talon’s neck and his smile grew a bit wider.

“You’re still wearing it,” he commented.

Talon blushed. “I can give it back if you-“

“No. Keep it, it looks nice on you.”

Aiden cleared his throat. “Well, I promised you you’ll get the best hot chocolate here, didn’t I? Let’s go.”

Without even waiting for Talon’s reply he took his hand and dragged him towards a booth with little tables around it.

It was the best visited of all the booths around.

“Hey Alexander, what are you doing here?” Aiden greeted the man with the soft pink hair that stood behind the counter.

Alexander smiled. “Amalie was out of marshmallows, so she had to get new ones and asked me if I could take over for a while. And since my boyfriend left me here because he ‘has to run an important errand’, I had time, so…”

He looked down on their still joined hands, a knowing smile on his lips.

“What can I get you?”

Talon, who hadn’t registered that he was still holding on to Aiden, let go of his hand immediately, while Aiden ordered two hot chocolates.

“It’s a shame there’s no marshmallows, but,” he turned to Talon. “Whipped cream?”

Talon nodded. “Sounds nice.”

Alexander prepared their order, given them each a mug filled with hot chocolate that smelled heavenly.

“On the house,” he said. “For our host and his company.”

He winked and Aiden laughed at that, thanking him. Then the two made their way to one of the few free tables.

“Come now,” Aiden said, leaning back in his chair with a smile, awaiting Talon’s reaction. “Try it.”

Talon did as he was told and his eyes widened as he took the first sip.

It was no exaggeration, this really was the best hot chocolate Talon ever tasted.

Aiden laughed at his reaction. “I take it you like it, then.”

“That is an understatement.”

“That’s what I thought. So how do you like our little Christmas market?”

Aiden’s hands wrapped around the warmth of his mug and he leaned forward a little.

“It is really nice.” It really was. “I think I’m slowly getting used to this Christmas craziness.”

Aiden laughed. He pointed at Talon’s chest.

“You are the crazy one, Mr. Scrooge, for not liking Christmas.”

Talon leaned forward as well. “Maybe I just needed a little persuasion.”

Aiden lifted the mug to his lips, hiding a smile behind it. “Well you’ve come to the right place then.”

“What luck.”

“For you and me both.”

Talon’s cheeks colored at that and Aiden only chuckled before taking a sip from his hot chocolate.

When he sat the mug down, there was whipped cream stuck above his bottom lip.

Talon laughed.

Aiden raised an eyebrow. “What?”

“You’ve got whipped cream there,” Talon said between chuckles as he watched Aiden struggling to get the whipped cream off.

“Wait, let me do it.”

Without much thinking, Talon reached out to brush the whipped cream off of Aiden’s face with his thumb, then raised it to his own lips to lick the cream off.

Only when he saw Aiden’s (pretty adorable) expression - eyes blinking in surprise, lips slightly parted in disbelief and blush high up on his cheeks - did he register what he just did and got so red that he probably matched the scarf wrapped around his neck.

“You like the hot chocolate, guys?” Alexander asked, getting both of them out of their frozen state as their heads whipped around to him almost in synch.

It must’ve looked pretty funny and judging by the upward tilt of his lips Alexander thought the same.

He had his arm linked with a handsome dark-haired guy, who lifted his hand in greeting.

Aiden won back his composure first. He smiled.

“Yeah, thank you.”

Talon admired how he managed to not stutter when he said it.

“You made it almost as well as Amalie.”

Pretending to be offended, Alexander gasped, hand over his heart.

A snort escaped the lips of the man next to him as he eyed him fondly.

“Well, we’ll go now,” Alexander said. “Have fun you two, maybe we’ll see each other at the bonfire.”

He turned to the man next to him. “Come, babe, let’s go. I gotta work on my book a bit before we come back tonight.”

With that the two men waved goodbye and left.

It’s okay, Talon told himself, they probably didn’t see what you just did.

But as the two walked away, Alexander turned around to look at them one last time and gave Talon a thumbs up, grinning.

Oh no, he totally saw it.

Talon must be cursed or something.

He looked back at Aiden, who smiled at him, a little unsure.

“Another one?” he asked, raising his mug.

Talon smiled back at him.

“I’d like that.”

Karlnapity doodles??? 🥺 The bbs <3

YES YES YES MY BOYS MY BOYSSSS

TY SQUISHY I WILL TAKE ANY AND EVERY EXCUSE TO BE ABLE TO DRAW THESE THREE THEY MEAN THE WORLD TO ME

ok so i kinda went crazy here cause it’s almost 2 am and i said “hey there’s an idea i’ve had for going on 3 years that i keep saying i’ll animate and never do.” so i finally did.

this is for a very very old au, it’s actually the first au on this blog and has 1 story; which is karlnapity. I won’t go into all the lore and stuff but i’ll link that story here for those of you who weren’t here in 2021, it’s how they ended up together in this au <3. Basis is Sapnap is a human, Quackity is an avian, and Karl is an Ermine hybrid borrower.

[sen-sational]

Eclipse will always be a mommy in my eyes...

Anyways this isn't canon to the au but eclipse and mars get a daughter

[portalmonsterrr]

Will you add ever Faranak to the KaveTham Family AU? Or are you gonna wait to see what is done with her in the canon game (if anything ever comes of it, pls HoyoVerse I am dying for Faranak crumbs) Do you have any currently as with Kaveh's past for now?

Or any of the extended family, Kaveh's deceased dad and AlHaitham's family. Are they talk about?

I'm still holding out hope we will see Faranak or her picture at least in the game one day (delusional). I had some doodles of her potential design lying somewhere

The family situation is the same as in canon: Alhaitham has no surviving family members left so it's just him and Kaveh lives far away from his mother and they exchange letters occasionally. He assures her that everything's great and she shouldn't worry about him. He doesn't really know when is the right time to tell her about Nahida.

[stupidvillainousposts]

Well...

Stanley’s shock collar runs at a whopping 4500 volts per shock. Each time Stan is shocked it kills more and more cells, and the increased threat of him going brain dead is similar to that of extended use of the memory gun.

If we look at Stan's claim that he was "Shocked 15 times in one day", the math says that, in less than 24 hours this man sustained approximately 67.5k volts of electricity.

Technically, he should be dead, but plot and his general stubbornness is keeping him alive.

[picongrounds]

Zombie au stuff:

After finding Pico, Boyfriend felt more hope than he had since the dead first began to reanimate. Girlfriend was hesitant at first, but she eventually warmed up to their new undead companion. They kept him leashed to prevent him from wandering off, and although he clearly had no idea what they were saying or who they used to be to him, he loved them. Pico loved to sit with them and listen to their stories (despite no longer understanding English) and he enjoyed their little adventures. Boyfriend couldn't be happier to have his old sweetheart back.

Of course, he knew it couldn't last.

Pico was falling apart - literally. Every day presented itself with a new injury or problem. After all, the ginger was rotting from the inside out. Boyfriend and Girlfriend did their best to keep him happy and mend him when they could, but with every suture, two wounds would open. They knew he would leave them eventually, but it was still hard to come to terms with.

So, when Pico finally became too weak to walk or even look their way, they knew he was finally going. Boyfriend held him close, not even knowing if he was conscious or not. After knowing for sure Pico was gone, he put a bullet between his eyes to ensure his old friend would never walk in a body that wasn't his own again. He took Pico's wedding ring, despite knowing that it was Darnell who gave it to him and carried it until he, too, passed.

Animatronic Keith AU Lore

This is obviously inspired by the FNF Animatronic Boyfriend mod, the 2011 remodeled design here was partially inspired by DJX Boyfriend's design

Shoutout to @xenoshadow13 for helping a LOT on the brainstorming for this one--this took months hah

2k+ words below

Warnings: Murder, violence, guns

There are no pairings here, only family

An apology to any Senpai-lovers, he's not the best here at all

This takes place back in time

Like his counterparts, in this AU of mine, Keith, or more widely known as The Boyfriend, was always known to have been an ambitious boy with big dreams. His affable and witty personality made him a well-liked fellow, and an insufferable nemesis. His passion for good food, love and music had always been a setback in his academic years, but upon graduating college they would prove to finally be an advantage to achieving his goals.

He would start with making his own music shortly after under the striking stage name of “The Boyfriend.” It would take a few years, and a lot of encouragement and help from his parents and friends, but after moving city to city, playing live and picking up gigs wherever he could, at some point he would finally find opportunities to reach more ears with the help of music producers and developers, opening to the doors of his fame. 

By the late 80s, The Boyfriend had been able to officially release many of his written songs with the proper equipment and modifications, his music ranging from rock love songs, deep and meaningful grunge, and funky rap. His broad choice of music genres would make him spread relatively fast, and he would reach the top charts with other popular bands and artists by the early 90s in no time.

At that time The Boyfriend would be considered a successful musician with multiple hit albums and a continuously growing fanbase. His music had been a success, but he still had another goal in mind. Food had always been an important part of his life, having lived with parents that both knew how to cook and passed down their skills to him. He wanted to make something out of it. Food always tastes better with good music and friends, and the three combined could make wonderful memories. Keith wanted something everyone could enjoy–family, friends, lovers, even a person alone. A spot for everyone to forget about problems for a moment and have a good time. What better way than to use his talents and money to make that possible? 

The Boyfriend’s Funkstaurant, named by yours truly, began its development in 1992. Keith had a friend for anything, in everything, and with his hefty income from his fame, it wasn’t excessively hard to afford the necessary equipment and permits. Employees were not at all tough to find in the busy city, and alongside his childhood anchor, Michael Hart, Keith founded the Boyfriend Entertainment, managed to find a suitable building in the city of Philadelphia, and within two years, the family entertainment restaurant would open its doors in 1994, a polished, well-managed business with good-natured staff, all whom were associated with The Boyfriend himself. 

The establishment would be an instant hit, and Boyfriend’s Funkstaurant would quickly become one of the top family restaurants around Philly. Keith would leave Michael as the manager in charge of the place while he continued to work on his music and concerts, as his own music producer was eager to have him perform across the country, and Keith couldn’t say no (literally). He would however come by quite frequently whenever the schedules weren’t tight, to either manage the place himself for a time, or to simply enjoy himself with his friends and family, even performing there in person. 

As four years passed, the restaurant held up successfully, better than ever. The music productivity was slowing down for Keith. Less concerts, more focus on The Boyfriend’s Funkstaurant. Michael decided to bring in a college friend as another manager who went by Jeffery Davis to help lessen the amount of work for him and Keith. Jeffery, who had worked as an employer for several other businesses, wasn’t as much of a friend with Keith as he was with Michael, who often spoke fondly of the singer, but they were mostly on good terms and genuinely respected each other enough for a steady companionship. It turned out Keith actually knew how to manage a job seriously, Jeffery realized, unlike his seemingly cocky and witty stage persona. He still had a humorous side of himself, even with work, and frankly enough it could annoy Jeffery sometimes, but at least the singer knew when it was time to drop the jokes. He had to admit, it did keep it from getting bland on the job.

Jeffery spent a lot of time at the establishment working. The place was almost always busy, especially during the weekends. He would occasionally bring his nine-year-old daughter Cherry at the time to look after her while she wasn’t at school. The girl had been extremely fascinated with the restaurant ever since her family took her there when the place first opened up when she was five years old. 

Keith would come to find himself growing fond of little Cherry. The girl would look up to him whenever she stuck around during his work hours when her dad brought her over, where the singer would take the time to show her around, and share his future plans to the curious youngster for the restaurant—one of these plans being the animatronic mascot he, Michael and some other crews were working on. 

He wanted to completely focus on his music career again now that Michael wouldn’t be left alone to manage the Funkstaraunt, this time going on tour internationally, and his producer was ecstatically encouraging him. But that would mean he needed to spend a lot of time away from The Boyfriend’s Funkstaurant, and since he was often around there entertaining customers and overall being the life of the party, his absence would be particularly hard on some folks, especially the youngest ones, which included Cherry. He wanted something that would somewhat fill the missing gap while he was gone. With the suggestions and creativity of his staff and some friends, the idea of the Boyfriend mascot was quickly turned into reality within a year.

In 1999, however, an old nemesis from Keith’s school years stopped by. None other than the crooked Stephan Lindberg, who also had a dream of soaring high in the music industry but never managed to do so. He one day stopped by the restaurant he had been hearing so much about for ages already, only because he was fed up on how the stupid blue-haired jerk who kept getting the girls from high school actually managed to make it so far—his music was on the radio, he was famous for it, he was on the top of the music industry, he somehow got a huge restaurant going, and it boiled Stephan’s blood. 

Bitter and blinded with jealousy and hate towards Keith for his fame and success, Stephan came up with a twisted scheme to get back at Keith when on one of his snitching visits at the restaurant he overheard two ladies fussing about how awfully close the singer was to Jeffery’s daughter and the security guard’s 12 year old son during a visit in the restaurant to observe its environment. A wicked idea came to mind when he overheard the ladies who he secretly taped on a voice recorder, and he’d later blackmail two associates to take pictures and frame Keith for having ulterior motives on the staffs’ children that were frequently at the restaurant. 

Using these photos, Stephan snuck to the establishment one night when there weren’t any workers besides Keith, Jeffery and a few other staff members, who were busy preparing the restaurant for Cherry’s tenth birthday the next day, and the reveal of the now finished Boyfriend animatronic mascot. He would approach Jeffery first, somewhat surprised to hear that the manager had heard about him from his coworker who at the time was taking a few days off. Stephan, even more angered, calmly informed Jeffery about his “worrying conclusions,” presenting him with the false evidence he had managed to fabricate with his associates—photos, voice tapes of the ladies who gave him the idea the other day, and even videos taken at an intentional misleading angle of Keith simply hugging Cherry.

Jeffery had heard about Stephan’s deceiving tactics and second-nature through Michael before, and he was well aware that Stephan was just a stranger to him, not someone he should lightly take his word for. However, the mention of his daughter’s name and Keith’s “supposed” evil intentions struck a nerve, and he became horrified, sick, and furious. Without a second thought he immediately jumped the gun and rushed over to confront Keith, who was understandably taken aback when Jeffery began to accuse him of Stephan’s lies. 

The situation escalated to a fight in which Jeffery initiated when Keith tried to defend himself, not believing anything the singer told him. Stephan watched with satisfaction from the sidelines as the few other staff members began to rush over in a panic. It would flatter when Keith took the upper hand and reluctantly struck Jeffery with a powerful uppercut, sending his manager back in stumble, and despite his constant desperate denials, Jeffery shook off the punch and pulled out a small handgun of his—one gifted by Keith himself for a birthday. Consumed with rage and unknowingly thrilling Stephan, he unloaded the pistol on Keith, six shots to the chest, nearly killing him. 

If he were any smarter, Stephan would’ve left and let the situation play out tragically. However, like the gluttonous fool he was, he decided to step in and reveal himself, taunting Jeffery for believing his false evidence, sneering over his naivety and shock. He planned to blackmail Jeffery, knowing the man’s reputation was now at stake for killing the famous singer. Jeffery wasn’t going to want to face the consequences for it, wasn’t he? 

Before he could go any further with his plot though, his associates who helped him fabricate the entire scenario had a change of heart upon witnessing how far Stephan had let things go, both knocking the crook who blackmailed them first and bonding his wrists and ankles. 

Jeffery was sick to his stomach and tremendously mortified as he stared down at Keith’s body. He knew he had committed a second-degree murder, and he would be taken to prison. He rightfully deserved to. He let a complete make him do something irreversible, all based on lies. Jeffery knew he belonged behind bars, but he panicked. He couldn’t go to jail. His family would hate him. His wife, his daughter—Lord his daughter would completely want his guts to rot in a cell if she ever knew about this. He decided, as much as his own actions pained him, he could not let it happen. 

The staff wanted to tell authorities of what really happened—they had the camera tapes, Stephan’s made up evidence, and the handgun, everything. But Jeffery, all too terrified for his own being, shot down each of their concerns, threatening them with blackmail and even dragging them into the mess. Deep down he knew it was wrong���it was sinful, but he couldn’t bring himself to plead guilty. At least, not while Cherry was still so young. None of the staff members wanted to follow, but they too didn’t want their lives ruined either because of this, so in the end they hushed up and remorsefully went along with it. 

The staff and Jeffery covered up the incident to make it look like Stephan himself had killed Keith. The body was stuffed into the Boyfriend animatronic to make it look like Stephan tried to hide the corpse for later disposal. Unbeknownst to them however, Keith was still conscious during all of that. His final moments were spent stuffed inside the cage of his own creation, agonized and paralyzed, until finally he drifted off. 

Any evidence of Jeffery having killed Keith himself was destroyed. Any tapes, Stephan’s fabricated plot, and fingerprints were cleared away and shredded. Jeffery took the camera footage that caught the event, but before deleting it all permanently, out of guilt he copied it all to a spare VHS tape. He was a coward, and he hid the tape for the longest time, praying no one would find it until after he died of old age. 

Keith’s death was reported the early morning after, the news first reaching his family’s and Michael’s ear, and his body was properly taken care of. Stephan would be charged for first-degree murder and sent to prison for life, the new fabricated story being him having shot Keith instead. The truth stayed between Jeffery, the few unfortunate staff members, Stephan’s two associates, and hidden deep in the animatronic mascot. 

That same day, the news of Keith’s death was kept away from Cherry, who was ecstatic for her birthday with her friends at the Funkstaraunt. Though it wouldn’t be long before the official reveal of the mascot that she would see on the news about what had happened the night before. 

The poor girl, who was given honors to pull down the sheet over her long awaited surprise, would instantly be overwhelmed with grief and horror, along with the other boys and girls around her who also looked up to the singer who brought them so much joy. What was supposed to be an amazing day turned out to be one of Cherry’s nightmares in a flash as she began to cry, staring up at the dreaded words on the tv up by the corner that sent thousands of questions running across her little mind.

BREAKING NEWS: KEITH BURLINGTON “THE BOYFRIEND” FOUND DEAD

Unbeknownst to everyone, Keith’s spirit, which had latched onto the mascot after having been stuffed inside it, began to stir as his distorted subconsciousness managed to recognize the anguished wails of his little friends. Desperate to help, he gained control over the shell for a time and began to move, the sheet falling off his new form and gaining the attention of the weeping children below. 

His mind, twisted and confused as to what happened, and what was happening, instead focused on the tear-stained faces of the little boys and girls below, all whom he knew. He focused on Cherry, and the little ginger-haired boy beside her, and knelt down to them, his mechanical joints working perfectly for the first time. 

Hey, it’s okay. I’m still here. 

The working staff at the time were confused as no one had yet activated the animatronic, but they let it slide when all of the children—and even the older ones—started to lighten up a bit with the mascot’s presence. There was something about it that made them feel as though it was really Keith… even though they all knew it wasn’t. Or, at least, believed. 

For the rest of the day Keith’s spirit managed to stay awake for Cherry. There was an irresistible tiredness bearing down his consciousness though, tempting him to shut down again. However he stayed awake until he was sure Cherry and the kids were okay. Only then did he let his mind slip into the deep alluring darkness, and the Boyfriend went back to performing its usual programming for the rest of Cherry’s childhood.

Fast forward to the year 2011, now 22 years old and freshly out of college, Cherry gets news that the restaurant’s mascot’s remodel has been finished, and with her new culinary degree, she decides to go back to the Boyfriend’s Funkstaruant to work as the lead cook. Miraculously it’s been holding up fairly well for all of this time, but Cherry knows that ever since Keith had died the Funkstaraunt’s original spark had gone with him. Wanting to bring that feeling again to the place, she believes it’s a good place to start her career. 

She’s surprised to see a few familiar faces back there. More so when she learns they have the same goals in mind, too. 

She’s certain they can bring back The Boyfriend’s Funkstaraunt’s former glory, just like Keith had when she was little. 

Little did she and her new coworkers know, however, that there was more to the restaurant than she had known it for. For starters, The Boyfriend animatronic itself.
