[purgatory-shenanigans]

The OC of the day is Charley Kirk Ramsey!

Age: 29

Birthdate: May 29, 1944

Date of Assassination: September 12, 1972

Death Date: September 12, 1972

Gender: Cis Male, He/Him

Orientation: Bi

Backstory: Growing up in Oblivia, Florida, Charleybhad a fairly unremarkable life that was frequently plagued by heavy bouts of depression. After a failed attempt to join the army, he ended up in entertainment and found joy in being a clown for children. With a new fondness for life and more reasons to be happy, he was set. That was until the children that he cared for so much began to go missing, which took one hell of a toll on him. He began going into a downward spiral, leading him to blame the president and the governor, Rob Callay. Thinking that he’d be able to get a shot at the president and send a message, he set out to a parade in his town. He ended up shooting the governor though, quickly suffering the same fate himself.

'Storm Warning ' written by @senrab_nala

[geronimomo-spd]

alright here we go!

Every Time the Eighth Doctor Got Hurt (in the audios) and How it (Possibly) Scarred/Mentally Effected Him from Storm Warning to and including Terror Firma

warnings for some fucked up injuries, a couple of Suicidel mentions and spoilers for most of season 1-2 of charley and 8 audios, and the divergent univerce, and terror firma, but its divided to episodes so its easiler to avoid spoilers (episodes that have their name at the top are where he got hurt, episodes that have their name at the end are ones where physically nothing is wrong but mentaly probably something happend)

1. (Storm Warning) - he cut his arm for Ramsey the Vortisaur to suck on the time, probably left a scar on his right arm! like a bite scar!!, (personal headcanon that his arm could be leaking time :) espeshelly with all of anti time stuff that comes later into play) 2. (Stones Of Venice) - got punched in the head a bunch of times, once to render him unconscious, but its all ok in the end for him because he got to drive a gondula 3. (Minuet in Hell) - …a bunch of amnesia, his mind getting transferred out of his body and him basically getting tourtured mentally for not remembering anything, then he found his missing thoughts and transferred them back into his brain, could be another couse for constent headicks and amnesia if you ask me lol 4. (Chimes of Midnight) - …ok so, he sort of died? like someone choked him to death, but he got better, he died so he can talk to charley who was on the verge of dieing herself, kinda complicated, but it sorted itself out and both Charley and him were fine, so like… possible scars along the neck from choking? (i tried not to give too many spoilers for anyone else reading this because i highly recommend this one)

5. (Seasons of Fear) - got tourterd by a dagger, not said where, but i think he got stabbed in the chest a bunch of times, and his hands, Charley cleaned the wounds and stuff, he did almost passed out after all of it, so he might have a nervousness around knifes and a bunch of scares on his chest from the stabbing, and he was in an actual killing mode because Charley got tourtured right next to him, but she was at a better state. - then he also got stabbed pretty much in the same place later on at a sword fight, almost to the point of regeneration, at least he thought he was going to, but he was ok, got mad about the holes in his shirt. he probably has a scar from it on his chest :) - creatures named the Nimon tried to suck away his energy (at least i think that's what they did), but only for a sec to show power, but it really hurt him. oh yeah and then he flew through the time vortex, he changed his mind into a Gallifreyan Lotus to avoid getting hurt, and then he falls from the sky, but he seemed to be unaffected by that. (i headcanon some particals of the time vortex have stuck to his form and now they just vibe inside of him, sometimes making his glow in the dark. man seasons of fear is such a ride, i love it)

6. ok he wants to get hurt here but never actually does, a lot of emotional hurt from seeing Charley almost losing her eyes in pain and almost destroying a whole peacefull race, but Charley knocked some sense into him that him wanting to die for this is not actually gonna save anyone - (Embrace the Darkness) - man i love this one) 7. (Neverland) - had to almost kill Charley because she saw how everything is dieng because she was alive, in the prosses admitted that he loved her, she got turned into a portal to travel to an unknown univerce and It hurt to see it, then in the end he exploded himself with A BUNCH of anti time, making him into Zagrues and slapping Charley, (mostly emotinal hurt in this one accept for the end) 8. (Zagrues 😁) - ok so… get possessed by Zagrues, realizing his can distory the univerce now and trying to fight it, then fucking Rassilon shows up and captures him, torturing him mind and soul in the prosses to make Zagrues completely take over so he can make the doctor to his personal murder weapon. Makes him watch as he burned the tardis into a crisp, and a living amalgamation of his tardis (that looks and sounds like the brigadier) tourtes him also, but its not spesefied how. Seeing the tardis dieing tips him into the edge mentaly and get zagrues take over, Rassilon is littiraly "on your knees my creature :)" really messed up stuff fhfghfgh, he once again in too much pain to live (and a danger to the entire univerce), and so asks Charley to kill him, which she does, by stabbing the sword the mind controlled doctor made out of the remines of the tardis right through his chest (ok he definitely has a scar from the sword right in his chest now that I think about it) he gets better :) through Doctors supporting each other. Which at that point the brigadier tardis (who is nice now) brings him some anti matter from the heart of the tardis. (no but this one messed him up so MUCH lol, boy wanted to die truly, pretty ruff stuff but i can say that here he got like, activly Suicidel. hfghfgh I love this one so much its not even funny, my poor baby boy)

ok Divergent Arc! (throught all of this he is in pain from not having time in this univerce so a lot of mental health problems and physically migrans):

9. (Scherzo) - ...alright so, held hands with Charley until it got transphormed to be the same hand, same body right at the end... that could be concidered an injury, constent headache from the lack of Time, also yeah his vocal chords got exposed but they were fine. Charley and him could have matching scars on the hands they held together :), he has a scar on his throat from it. Also maybe mental pain and an aversion of people repeating after him

10. Ok in this one its mostly Charley getting hurt unfortenetly, but the doctor had to go through the mental struggle of almost losing her completely to her turning into a slug monster to give birth to a lot more slug babies, they managed to find a salotion and Charley does not remember any of this happening, luckily for her, but I headcanon her to at leasy suspect something happened (Creed of the Kromon), I really hate this one, also this one is where C'rizz joins in)

11. (Natural History of fear) - ahhh I guess almost drowning? But not majorly, it was mostly being scared for Charley and C'rizz's lives, they were alright though 12. (the twighliht kingdom) - almost got absorbed completely into being part of a living building, but someone else volunteered last minute, but it did couse him a lot of pain in his brain 13. (Faith Stealer) - got smacked in the head, and almost got squished to death with Charley in a closet (ha ha) but apart from that nothing (Faith Stealer my beloved) 14. (the last) - ahhhhh definitely died from an explosion, only to come back to life, only he remembers that, Charley and C'rizz died as well, also got burred under a crushed building and got a nasty hit on the head, but it doesnt seem like the death affected him much 15. (Caerdroia) - got time sickness from being so close to the tardis after so long, fainted just because of that. Got split into 3 parts (is this an injury??? no clue), then got trapped in between a gaint bell and almost died by the shear noise and pain from that (overstimulated), but got rescued last minute, he was pretty dissociated by this point though until they found the tardis (probably did not help his "but who am i really???" thoughts, ie dissociation)

Post divergent univerce

16. almost… ended his own life hut didn't but was really traumatized by what happened to his two former companions, but managed to save the day - (Terror Firma)

and that's it! this guys needs a break (he is not gonna get one) (here it is! @laden-fruits , @violentlywaftingcurtains , @keepthemacramesecret , @zagreuses-toast , hope it was alright to tag! that would help you guys find it if and when you need it)

[aurorabayrpg]

here's the moment we've been waiting for- our valentine's day blind date pairings! we had 58 characters submitted, so there's 29 pairings!

please remember that these obviously do not have to end in a whirlwind romance! the dates can end up just being two friends having a free meal, can end in a disaster, can have someone else bailing, or maybe can spark something real! the point of it all is to have fun.

the dinner will be held at Neptune on Friday February 16th in game, but threads can begin as of tomorrow! the dates can also bc hc'd as well, all we ask is that everyone paired please speak with your partners and decide on the outcomes together! we don't want anyone feeling left out or dejected.

again, this has been randomized! (with tweaks to make sure no one is paired with themselves and to avoid large age gaps) so as wild as some of these pairs may be, we hope you all have fun with it!

Not the Right Person

Series/Pairing/Characters: Open Heart - Ethan Ramsey x f!MC (Charley Valentine); Sienna Trinh; Aurora Emery

Rating / Warnings: General

Summary: Various “Celebrations” for Valentine’s Day when you aren’t celebrating with the right person.

Comments/Notes: Written for CFWC Valentine’s Day event @choicesficwriterscreations, and Galentine’s Day, February 13, @choices-february2023.

Disclaimer: Most characters belong to PB, Charley is sort of mine

Word count: 737

Residency, Year Two:

Charley was logged onto the computer at the nurses’ station nearest the diagnostics office. She was entering notes for her cases, while alternately looking down the hall. She was surprised when the lights were turned off and Ethan stepped out into the hall, pulling the door shut behind him. He had his briefcase in one hand, and was holding his phone to his ear with the other.

As he got closer, she overheard the very end of his conversation right before he hung up. “I know I said I’d go, but I didn’t realize it was Valentine’s day when I agreed to go out with her!” He dropped his phone in his pocket and froze as he saw Charley. She quickly averted her eyes from him and back to the computer.

“Dr. Valentine, did you get the test results back on Mr. Barnett?”

She nodded. “I took care of it. Baz was right, so he’s taking care of him right now.”

Ethan nodded, and shoved his hand through his hair. “So I don’t need to stay? I’m happy to cancel my plans.”

Charley shook her head. “Baz and June have it under control. I’ll be leaving myself soon.”

“Do you have plans?” Ethan asked, not sure whether he was hoping she would or wouldn’t. He knew wanting her to not have plans was unfair as he insisted on a reset.

“Yes, I do.” She logged off the computer and gave him a tight smile. “I need to run. See you tomorrow, Dr. Ramsey.”

After turning away from Ethan, Charley hurried to the stairs, bypassing the elevator. She hurried down to the staff locker room to shower and change. Soon she met Aurora and Sienna in the atrium. Jackie was notably missing. “I hope I’m not too late.”

Aurora smiled and shook her head. “Right on time. We have plenty of time for our reservations.” She held up her car keys. “Let’s go!”

The host greeted them when they arrived and soon they were seated near the terrace. Sienna laughed. “I figured since we were a group of three on Valentine’s day, we’d be shoved into a corner!”

Aurora grinned. “It helps since I’ve known the owner and chef since first grade.”

A smiling waiter appeared, with three glasses of water. “Good evening, ladies. Do you have any questions about the menu?”

Aurora shook her head. “I think we’re ready for the started. Madeline recommended a seafood tower and sauvignon blanc to start. Is that okay?”

Charley and Sienna looked at each other and nodded. “If the chef is recommending it, I’ll try it.”

The ladies had finished their starter and ordered their main courses, salmon for Charley, Chilean sea bass for Aurora, and roasted lamb for Sienna. They had laughed, reminiscing about prior Valentine’s days. Aurora took a sip of her wine. “Oh, I don’t think someone is having a good date tonight.” She gestured toward a table by the fireplace. “I think that’s a friend of Aunt Harper’s. Tina something? Tina Richards.”

Sienna and Charley looked over. Tina was frowning at her date. Sienna agreed. “She doesn’t look happy.”

Aurora frowned, trying to remember. “Harper said she just moved to Boston. She’s looking for a fresh start after a divorce. Harper has been setting her up on blind dates.”

Charley gave a cursory glance at the table and then focused on the man. She would recognize the jaw anywhere. “Ethan.” She didn’t even realize she’d spoken aloud.

“It is!” Aurora said.

Sienna looked at Charley. “Are you okay?” she mouthed to Charley, who nodded.

This next morning Ethan was surprised when he got to the diagnostic office. Charley was already there with a cup of coffee form Derry’s. “Good morning, Dr. Valentine.”

She looked up from the latest issue of the NEMJ. “Hello, Ethan.” She nodded to a second Derry cup on his desk. “I brought you coffee.”

He picked up the cup and took a drink. “How was your… how was your… evening last night?”

Charley stared at the words in the magazine. “It was a lot of fun.” She turned to look at him. “How about you?”

Ethan opened his laptop and turned to face it. “Mine was not what I was expecting.”

Charley turned back to her magazine and Ethan pulled up a file on his computer, both thinking about how their evening could have gone better if they were with different people.

[justagalwhowrites]

okay firstly NO I DIDNT KNOW THERE WAS AN OFFICIAL PLAYLIST BUT IM FR IN LOVE WITH IT THANK U FOR UR GENIUS

secodly, sorry all i have is a list and a yt link but unforch one of the songs isnt on spotify 😭

thirdly, unofficial official flugazi yearling ost:

love, love, love - the mountain goats; when he saw his face reflected in his victim's twinkling eye, some things you'll do for money and some you'll do for fun but the things you do for love are going to come back to you one by one

goodbye to old missoula - willis alan ramsey; clouds hang on the mountain, they make me lonesome inside, and these four walls surround me leaving nowhere to hide

all the gold in california - brother marshall & the choir of fire; yes the acapella version from the silly danny mcbride show because it's so vibes so aesthetic so yearling

when a man loves a woman - marcus king; the version that only exists on youtube because marcus king hates me personally and won't put it on a streaming service

i ride an old paint - colter wall; when i die take my saddle from the wall, place it on my old pony, lead him out of his stall, tie my bones to the saddle, turn our faces to the west, we'll both ride the prairie that we love the best

plain to see plainsman - colter wall; let me die in the country that i love the most, i'm a plain to see plainsman and this i will boast, my heart it lies far from the east or west coast

can i take my hounds to heaven - tyler childers; if i can't take my hounds to heaven, if i can't hunt on god's land, i'd rather load mt dog box up and go to hell with all my friends

some days - sturgill simpson; i'm getting pretty tired of sittin' around and wasting time, and i'm tired of taking blame when i ain't done nothing wrong, i'm tired of other people trying to take what's mine, and i'm tired of y'all playing dress up and tryna sing them old country songs

northeast texas woman - jerry jeff walker; those texas ladies are texas gold, kisses sweeter than cactus, takes no practice to love

jamestown ferry - charley crockett; she had a soothing southern drawl, made me feel like a man through it all

you never even call me by my name - leann rimes; i hc that bambi used to get mad at bars when this played and no one did the "LET ME LET ME LET ME" part of the chorus and the leann rimes ver. is the one where you can hear it the most 😭

sounds like the radio - zach top; people call me a walkin' talkin' jukebox, i keep the hits spinnin' non-stop / they say honky tono heroes go to heaven you know, maybe that's why everyone wants to go 'cause it sounds like the radio back in '94

on youtube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbbBB_mPYjYrO4sRPE2Oj3pxUIy3lp3CI&si=FQX5mL-ndOCaEYv5

love u bunches + follow up discussion topic: BAMBI FC????

HI BESTIEEEEEEEE!

AHHHH I love these!!! And I love that you're invested enough to make a playlist. I hope you're loving the fic!!!

As far as FCs, below the cut :D

I see Bambi as a fairly tough but still feminine looking woman, one with fairly large, brown eyes. I usually picture her as Kiera Knightly

Or Anne Hathaway

I feel like she kind of looks sweet at first glance (and I think tends toward more kindness and caring by nature than her reality allows - as a ranch hand before and the apocalypse now) but then has a lot of bite to her. She's in her early 40s for every part of the fic that's not a flashback but I feel like she's aged pretty well and looks a bit younger than she actually is. Not drastically but I think most people would put her at like 37 instead of 42 if guessing her age.

Curious to know who you picture!! Love you!!!!!

[emotionalcharley]

so this guy, he’s new and he’s nice. but he acts so cold sometimes and I don’t like it. it makes me feel unworthy and unlovable that he is so cold. in person he’s the sweetest person ever but in messages he’s dry and doesn’t seem interested at all in anything I text about. it scares me that I’m in this to get to know him and he’s in this get some. and I’m scared that if he finds out that I was in it for the longer part that he’s going to be mad that strung him along but in reality he did that to me. he made me feel like he was serious and I’m not liking where this is leading— I’m scared and I don’t know what to do. all because I want to make it work but I don’t want him to feel like I’m forcing him to do anything. I just genuinely want to get to know him better and want to be interesting enough for him. or at least interesting enough that he will want to stick around.

but yeah. I feel like I’m just setting myself up to get my heart broken again and I don’t want that. but it is what it is and you live and you learn. and like ramsey always tells me, “slow and steady wins the race”

- love, charley

1, 2, 3 and 11, 12, 13 for both from the OTP ask list.

E1. Who fell for the other one first?

2. Was it love at first sight?

3. Was it lust at first sight?

E&C: Given that their first meeting was so chaotic, it's hard to say what their visceral reaction was. While she certainly thought he was hot, she really felt he was an asshole, and that made him a lot less attractive to her at first. He was at work and so in "the zone" he didn't even look at her with "those" eyes, so it's hard to say. But when Casey decided to salvage their initial meeting at the vending machine, both of them felt a bit of a spark. It was undeniable, and a little scary, especially for Ethan. He felt something pulling him toward her and he knew that was not good, so in true Ethan fashion, he ignored it. Casey thought it was amusing, but didn't give it much weight. But when they shared a drink together at Donahue's later that night the sparks were flying. Each of them felt it, though neither acknowledged it. The fact that Casey was comfortable calling the Ethan Ramsey out on his bullshit at work the next day, and the fact that he allowed her to remain in the department after that, is a testament to how close they felt to one another.

I don't believe in love at first sight, and neither do they, so not love, but tempered lust at first sight, for sure. They also definitely had a connection that neither understood, but they could not deny.

T&C: Their beginning is the canon-divergent version that I've started in the Their Start series. So far, I've really just covered the very beginning. Their first meeting was at the deli with Aurora, and it was firey lust at first sight for both of them. Crazy, hot lust that they have not seen through yet, but not for lack of trying. It's not love at first sight, but there is something there, especially with Tobias. The fact that he mentions her to a friend on the phone is huge, this is just not something he does. He is a player at this stage of his life and, frankly, he's bewildered by why he has it so bad for her. He gives into it easily enough, but it is so far out of his purview that he doesn't know what to do with it, so he bungles it pretty badly. Casey feels something for him, too and she wants him, but internally she feels like the fire is just too hot and she could easily get burned. That said, she can't resist him and when he confesses that he does not want them to have a sloppy roll in the hay for their first time because he knows they are going to mean something, she's very happy to hear it. That's where the story stands right now. This will develop into more, but they will have a bumpy road to get there.

11. Are they a healthy couple? If no, why not?

12. Do they have the potential to be healthy if they’re usually toxic?

13. Do they have the potential to be toxic if they’re usually healthy?

E&C: If they had met under different circumstances, I think they would have still faced a lot of challenges, but given their circumstances, it was almost impossible for them to get off to a healthy start. I wouldn't say they were toxic at first, but they were complicated. Once they slept together, things entered the toxic environment.

In my HC, Ethan let Casey know he was going to the Amazon, but (per canon) he did not have contact with her. Boys and girls, that was a fucked up thing to do and set off a pattern of hurt, pain, poor communication, avoidance, and mistrust that hurt them for a good long while. They cared for each other desperately underneath this all, but they started such awful patterns that, if not for the attack, I'm not sure where they would have ended. But that tragic event forced them both to look at things in a different way and work toward being more mature in their interactions with each other. (I diverge from canon quite a bit at this stage).

I would now define them as a very healthy couple who has the potential to be toxic - because ALL relationships could become toxic if not handled appropriately. But, since they are handling things right, it's a very loving, functional, happy pairing.

T&C: They met in very different circumstances and it was very, very physical at first, but it became quickly apparent to both that there was more there than met the eye. If it would have been solely physical they would have fallen into bed, had their thing, and moved on which was his MO at this stage of his life and since Casey wasn't in the best of places, she was only slightly better.

They both had a lot to learn about being in a real relationship, especially Tobias who had made it his purpose in life to avoid them. So neither was in a place to have a truly healthy relationship when they first met, but Casey was smart enough to see the red flags and she did what she should have done to protect herself. It took going from not speaking to growing a friendship (and only a friendship) to eventually opening the door to more to give them the time and skills they needed to be a healthy couple.

They will have growing pains, but they are 90% healthy. They will work on that 10% toxic and they will be fine. However, like I said above, any relationship has the propensity to be toxic if not handled with care. Luckily these two love each other and want this to work, so they take the necessary steps.
