Terrible.

*Warning. System has tagged operation designation as a duplicate. SYSTEM ADMIN, please rectify…
many, many, years ago
In space, no one can hear you scream.
Unless you were on Kids Next Door Moonbase.
There? People could hear you screaming out the wazoo.
Why, there was so much screaming going on there; it was practically white noise for Global Command. If there ever was a moment when there wasn't the lively chatter of a buhmillion kids from all walks of life communing on the base to end all bases, then it was either winter holiday break or something was terribly, horribly wrong.
At the moment, it was barely Thanksgiving. And given how quiet the Moonbase currently was, it was safe to say the silence was due to the latter scenario.
I.e. something bad was going down.
In docking bay eleventeen, a gaggle of operatives stiffly patrolled the area. Their movements were almost robotic, and their once bright eyes were now dull and listless as they meandered about, attending to some command with nary a fuss.
"Come on, guys! Snap out of it!" came a muffled shout from a holding cell. A fist pounded against the metal door, frantic eyes glaring out the tiny peephole. "You gotta fight it!"
The guard of the door, a random cafeteria working armed with a SCAMP rifle, narrowed her eyes at the door. "Be…quiet…"
Her tone lacked agency. Devoid of any emotion.
The prisoner redoubled their efforts, the door trembling under their futile efforts. "I got injured operatives and scared cadets in here, you jerk!" His voice was littered with panicked urgency. "One of them needs an inhaler! ASA-NOW!"
The cafeteria guard ignored him, focusing on her single-minded directive.
Suddenly, the docking bay lit up as a single SCAMPER hovered up to the loading terminal. Nearby, an out of place DOH-DOH Squad officer jerkily directed a gaggle science nerds to form up around the galley plank.
All children present crowded around the ship, the sights of their rifles steady against the hull's structural weak points.
The door to the SCAMPER hissed open, weapons humming madly in response.
"Don't…move," the kid in charge demanded of the unknown pilot. He glared. "State…your…business."
From the bowels of the ship, an accented voice cried, "Pizza delivery!"
"We did not order a…" the guard blinked, everyone looking down confused as a pizza box was chucked in the middle of their group. "…pizza?"
The cardboard lid slowly opened on its own, an angel choir sounding off as they all bore witness to the golden glory of the fabled Ninety-Nine Cheese New York Style Pizza.
Even in their mind-addled stated state, all operatives present couldn't stop their mouths from salivating.
Steam rose from the pie's crust as the cheese atop it began to boil and bubble.
SPLOOOOOOOSH!
The uncut, medium-sized pie exploded in a gooey burst of Parmesan, Asiago, and mozzarella. The force blew back all caught unaware, their bodies glued and trapped to nearby surfaces by hot, sticky cheese.
The way clear, a small figure cockily ambled out of the scamper. An African-American boy strutted onto the Moonbase proper, dressed in a worn, orange jumpsuit, the torso folded down to reveal the stretchy white jersey baggy against his chest. He kicked the toes of his Nike sneakers against the deck, pumping up his kicks for the inevitable butt-whooping he was about to dish out.
Jerome Kingsly used the nozzle of his blaster to adjust his shades, combing through his messy fro whilst his lips curled into a self-assured smirk. "Down in Brooklyn, we call that the Nine-Nine Special."
"Numbuh Nine-Nine! Over here!"
WARNING. This a long chapter. Please give yourself breaks :3

I killed a mouse a while back. Unpleasant details under cut.
I've had mice to deal with several times before. Once in a previous flat, I tried to do it myself with various snap traps and homemade bucket traps, all baited with peanut butter. The buckets were just cardboard boxes so they probably would have just chewed their way out unless I found them really quickly. But they never got caught in any of them and eventually they just left.
Then in this flat, a few years back. Ally and I put down snap traps that they didn't go for, then glue, and... I don't remember if it was still somehow getting past the glue, or if we got the landlord to call someone in and we just put down the glue while we were waiting, or what. But someone showed up, found a hole behind the sink and cemented it up. Put down a trap of his own (a black box with bait inside, not sure if poison or trap-trap or what, I think it's actually still there). But we didn't see it again, and he came back a couple of weeks later to check.
A few months ago we had another, possibly multiple. Again we put down glue and had someone come in, not necessarily in that order. He was useless the first time, but we got the landlord to send him back and I think he blocked something up and we were fine for a bit. (I wasn't in when he came this time.)
And then just after christmas I woke up to scratching, and turned the light on and waited, and yep, a mouse scrabbled out from next to the wardrobe under the door and out.
I didn't want to get the landlord to send someone again, because the landlord didn't know Ally had moved out. I had been their main support network, and they were now in a psychiatric hospital. (From what they've told me, they hadn't attempted suicide but had been thinking about it enough to check themselves in.) I thought it wouldn't be helpful for some to call them to try to arrange access to the flat. Also I was annoyed at the previous guy having to come twice and then getting another straight after.
So I ordered more glue traps. They arrived on 29/12 and I put them down. They were in the archway between the kitchen and the living room, where maybe there'd be no way for the mouse to get to most of the flat without going over them - I don't remember if previous attempts have backed that theory up. I put peanut butter on one, chocolate on another and cheese on the third.
I was sleeping with a rug blocking my door, so I wouldn't really know if it was getting past them or not. But the next morning I woke up and went to check.
I was scared to look. I don't remember that from before. We'd split up less than two weeks ago, I think I was still pretty fragile.
The design on them, under the glue, made me jump a bit. Like, I was so hyper-attuned to the possibility of seeing a mouse that when I saw a drawing of a mouse (or more likely, just any vague blob where I worried a mouse might be) I reacted to it. But there was no mouse.
Next day, new years eve, same thing, except there was a mouse. I screamed a bit. It had gone past the bait without touching it and then gotten trapped. It looked dead. I thought about calling someone but didn't know who - obviously not Ally, and the person who'd been my main emotional support lately didn't enjoy talking about killing mice.
I psyched myself up and went to step over it to get a binbag. It twitched when I got close. I screamed again. I crouched down to look a bit closer (still from a distance) and saw it blink. It also looked like it had vomited a bit, but I'd recently seen on wikipedia that mice don't vomit. Maybe that was some small hairs that had gotten pulled out?
I thought of another friend who's had to put down animals before. I messaged to explain what was going on and ask if she was up for a call. She was. She also said she hates glue traps, which like, okay but I probably wouldn't have brought that up at that precise moment. I explained that I don't like them either but nothing else worked and this at least would keep them out of the rest of the flat and she said fair enough.
(She also said they were about to be made illegal? I haven't heard anything along those lines. She's way more clued in to that kind of thing than I am, but she's not epistemically careful enough for me to take this kind of thing on her word. Idk.)
I was freaking out a bit, talking fast and hyperventilating, and she calmly helped talk through the options. I didn't want to hit it with a hammer because then I'd never use that hammer again and I didn't want mouse everywhere. I didn't want to use a knife, similar reason. We decided I'd put some cardboard down over it and step on it.
When I dropped the cardboard it started wiggling. Oh fuck. Deep breaths. I stepped. Through my headphones, I heard it crunch. Fuck fuck fuck.
She had me step a few more times to make sure, then walked me through grabbing a binbag and getting the whole thing into it without having to see it. She comforted me that it's natural to freak out, it means I'm not a psychopath.
I hadn't expected it to be so bad. I spent the rest of the day mildly traumatized. I was seeing family, which helped. I told my mum, dad and brother, but not my grandmother. They were sympathetic. We saw Wonka, it was fun. Then I went to the pub to hang out with people from reddit, mostly either strangers or people I hadn't seen in years. That was fun too, but packed enough that I went home before the new year.
I put down more glue traps and kept the rug blocking my door. The next day I was scared to look again, but no mouse.
I also ordered some steel wool that day. I had a guess that it was getting in where the person years ago had blocked up, where the cement looked a bit loose. I regretted not ordering it sooner, I don't know why I hadn't. I think partly I wasn't wild about rummaging around under the sink but like, what was my plan? Kill a mouse and leave it's way in open?
Anyway, it arrived a couple days later and I blocked up that hole and moved the rug. I was going to leave the glue traps there for a bit longer just in case, but around about now my bath started leaking into my kitchen (adjacent to it, not underneath). I didn't realize that was what was happening at the time, I thought I'd somehow just spilled a load of water, but in any case they were soaked and I didn't have any more.
I think for the next few days I was still nervous to look there when I got up in the morning.
I'm okay now. It was one of the least fun things I've ever done, but I don't think it was morally bad of me. Like, I could have done better, I should have got the steel wool sooner. And I spent 30 minutes freaking out while it was trapped, if I hadn't freaked out I could have killed it sooner which would have been better. But under the circumstances I wouldn't judge someone else for acting like I did, and I don't judge me either.
I think it would have been a lot more psychologically pleasant for me to go out and leave it trapped and wait for it to die. But I think that would have been morally worse, and I'm glad I didn't.

for the oc asks:
torture for chen, break for iphis, and future for howl
i wont lie reblogging this ask game was like setting cheese under a cardboard box trap for you
torture: Has your OC ever been tortured? Would your OC ever torture someone else?
aside from what Ang'dra constantly puts her through, i dont think Chen's been tortured in the classic sense. i think pre-disownment she'd be down for torturing someone for religious or political reasons, but now she really only cares about Ang'dras detriment
break: What would cause your OC to break down completely? What do they look like when that happens? Has anyone ever seen them at their lowest?
Iphis has some frequent little meltdowns, but something unrecoverable would be a rival House outsmarting him or discovering a secret/weak point. he has very loud, aggressive outbursts and that mixed with the fear of such situation would be explosive. after the initial freak-out he loses speech and falls back on fawning. also a fun bit is he gets hand and leg tremors when distraught.
usually Minisstra and to a lesser extent, Cross are like, the only people he'll allow to see him like this but if its catastrophic enough, he'll isolate himself completely
future: What's the worst possible future for your OC? Are they taking steps to avoid that outcome? Are they even aware it's a possibility?
the worst possible future is something happening to their daughter. Howl doesn't fear death, and grows to accept whatever the Raven Queen throws at them even if that means excommunication (though that still would be far from ideal), and Peaches being a cat means that eventually they'll have to say goodbye, and pets get sick/into accidents all the time. with Agnes not only would they be unable to forgive themself, they'd lose their sense of purpose and optimism.
they try to balance being protective but not suffocating, because Agnes' autonomy is important to them, but also the world's large and dangerous and she's already suffered its exposure so, it's a struggle.
their aforementioned night terrors remind them of the possibilities :)

1. Damaged
Ralph x Reader
Summary: You are an android who wakes to find themselves shut in a box. You’re damaged— but so is Ralph. In universe fic
No smut; this is just the first chapter so hold your horses. Slowburn
Warnings: slight gore warning, limb loss/ implied amputation. Claustrophobia (?) Implied kidnapping (?)
1
You wake with a pain in the back of your head akin to a nail being hammered into your brain with a baseball bat. You reach you hands up to the spot but are surprised to realise you have no arms, nor hands for that matter.
In fact, you seem to have a shortage of legs too. Your pelvis sits awkwardly on a pillow, surrounded by the brown walls of a standard cardboard box. It’s dark, aside from the cracks of light through the lazily poked breathing holes.
Your body was leaning opposite these holes, and, in order to see through them, you sort of had to sway backwards and forwards before, eventually, slamming face first into the other wall. The sudden change in distributed weight led to the box leaning forwards slightly, but it didn’t topple over.
Looking out of the hole, you’re surprised to see that you have not been kidnapped and placed in some sort of black market store, you’ve been kidnapped and placed in some sort of abandoned home.
You have an excellent view of what would have been the living room, now a forgotten place crawling with, also abandoned, spider webs and mice still dead in their traps, rotting. Eaten by flies and home to an extended family of maggots.
Your light source comes from a fireplace that sits at the far end of the room, behind a wooden table. You can’t make out whether or not that quick shadow charging back and forth is the creation of the living, the dead, or something in between; something mechanical. It seems to be running into a different room, coming back for a while, then running off again. It’s feet are loudly quiet, like someone trying to sneak out of a sleeping tiger’s enclosure.
Suddenly, the box gives in. It falls forward, and so do you, lying on the floor face first without the arms to push yourself to your non existent feet. You instinctively start thrashing around like a worm under a sun pierced magnifying glass, resulting in nothing but attracting attention to yourself. You stop.
You hear feet (obviously not yours) edge towards you, then stop; then edge towards you again; anxiously brave, like someone trying to pet the tiger in the tiger enclosure.
Staying quiet isn’t doing you much good, you think, it knows you’re here, hell, it’s probably the one who put you here.
With your newfound bravery, you yelp. You don’t yelp a word in particular, just a general, animalistic sound.
The thing on the other side of your cage yelps too, more out of the shock of your own yelp.
“Who’s there?” You demand feebly
Silence hangs in the air, except for the crackling of the fireplace, before a nasally voice responds, "Ralph.”
Silence again, except for the obnoxiously intrusive fireplace.
The voice comes again. “Ralph is going to open the box now.”
You don’t have time to answer before he starts slicing the top of the cardboard box with a blade. You feel two cold hands pick you up and rugby carry you to the table near the fire. You’re placed upright on your pillow before Ralph hastily retreats a few feet back.
He stands in the middle of the room, his hands clasped together in front of him tightly. He gives you a thin lipped (what you think to be) smile. You notice a dull orange LED flashing on the side of his head. An android. Just like you.
“Ralph didn’t mean to give you a fright.” He mutters apologetically, wringing his damaged hands together. “Ralph wanted to keep you safe, from the rain. Ralph was trying to help.” He gestures to your right, where an array of damaged, bloodied legs lay on the counter like an assort of different cheeses on a platter.
“Where am I?” You mutter, staring blankly at him
“Ralph’s home. It’s safe.” He answers quickly. Too quickly
You glance back over to the array of limbs.
“And who’s legs are those?” You ask
“Hm?” He snaps his head towards the counter. “Oh, Ralph just found them at the dump nearby. Ralph doesn’t like the dump but he wanted to help you.”
With this, he skipped over to the counter, wielding his blade, and started rummaging through the selection.
“No, Ralph doesn’t like the dump.”
He continues to murmur to himself for a while, inspecting the different items he had “found.”
A gust of cold air hits you; you glance over into the other room. The back door’s open, wide open, teasing you. You then glance back at Ralph, who is now staring you in the eyes with his own piercing eye. His other eye is sightless and as black as a void, smudged with blue blood.
“You will be comfortable here.” He assures, then he turns back to the countertop
“You live here alone?”
“Alone?” He pauses. “Yes. Sometimes Ralph gets intruders, but he just hides until they go away. Ralph likes you though, you won’t hurt Ralph.”
You look down at your leg stumps with a frown; he wasn’t technically wrong but—
“—will you hurt me, Ralph?” You ask softly.
He pauses again. Longer for this time. His eye is glazed over, his LED still flashing orange. He eventually looks at you— no, slightly above you, *through you*, like a window.
“No.” He utters, “no. Ralph could never. You’re damaged, just like Ralph.” His hand hovers above the wound on the left side of his face solemnly.
“Ralph could never.”

for your thirsty drow: rizeth 28, ashenivir 35, zeth'rinn 30, vizeath 69
i will fully admit i reblogged this ask game like a lil cheese under a cardboard box trap for you :p
28 - Are they into body worship?
For receiving, I think he’s pretty neutral on it, but would be happy to do it if it was something Ashenivir really wanted to do. He’d be very into giving it; you know how much he adores Ashenivir all the fucking time, he’d love the chance to bring that into a scene.
I do even have a note for him doing some in arc 5, after Matron Zauvym pulls some bullshit.
35 - Have they tried something adventurous that they ended up disliking?
you mean apart from the debacle of To Know One’s Limits? (well, i guess he did like part of that, he just accidentally ended up triggered. oops). Hmm…not yet, really, I want to say. None of the people he’s hooked up with have ever been that adventurous, especially compared to Rizeth, and he hasn’t done anything with Rizeth that he really dislikes yet (apart from the aforementioned fic debacle).
I mean we could say, based on the two things that are in his active dislikes column, that he did try watersports with someone one time and immediately went ‘actually no thank you’. Because my boy, sometimes regrettably, will try most anything once, especially if a partner is into it.
(the only other thing on his active dislikes column is breeding, and there’s no way he needed to try that one out to know it was a major hard limit)
30 - How bratty are they?
ahhhh, i’m so predictable, but i think i am going to commit and say he’s very bratty. He’s a tease. He’s an annoying little shit. He’s just like his fucking dad, and you can pry my bratty Jarlaxle headcanon from my cold dead bratty hands.
I think Zeth likes teasing and taunting. I don’t think that he’s fully a brat with everyone he hooks up with, it depends on how they click, but if he finds someone who will push and pull with him. He’s doing that bit from that one tumblr post where the guy taunts the most jacked guy in the room then just goes ‘i’m just a little birthday boyyy’ only what actually happens is he gets fucked stupid.
…I think I’ve just realised Zeth’rinn is very into people who are built. Like he’s into Menzova, who's a fucking Darksong Knight and is definitely a Pretty Buff Lady. Oh no, he likes being thrown around.
Well, I guess I wanted asks to make me develop this boy, so. There’s that i guess!!
69 - Do they have anything that they once considered a squick but is now a turn on?
(of course you picked 69 for viz. of course.)
now, I have not fully fleshed this out, but I lowkey have this idea that Viz has some deeply suppressed horny feelings about Being A Girl During Sex. Like he hated it when he was a girl, but I am convinced that now he has a different body, the idea of it is uncomfortably erotic for him.
i really just think that if Pharaun put him in a lil skirt and stocking situation, he would lose his mind. like he’d be fucked up about it, but also. if Pharaun called him a pretty girl the amount of therapy he’d need would instantly double.
#c: ashenivir zauvym#c: rizeth velkon'yss#c: vizaeth thaezyr#c: zeth'rinn baenre#obedience fic blogging#obsession fic blogging#listen viz has the habit of eroticising his issues and i just think that if he did it with his dysphoria we could have a fun lil time!#also this ask game has taught me that Zeth'rinn desperately wants a hot girl to peg him and he's so fucking valid for it#if anyone wants to send me more for this please do it's so much fun

🛸🏕️🪤🪩💏 this only came to be because I was just going through and looking at all the emojis and picking ones I hadn't seen before or I thought were whimsical, but these really were the last 5 on the list. Like gay boys be out camping, making out under the giant disco ball in the sky, not worried about aliens because they already set their cheese under the cardboard box held up by a stick trap just in case.

im thinking..... im thinking of ways i could get more ppl to read the ...buddies? comics. if i put all the pages into one pdf file would more people check it out? if i share it as a google drive file? is gumroad scary? 👉👈 i want it to be read more! the last part has 22 downloads. i feel like more people would enjoy reading it than just 22.
should i leave the comic under a cardboard box half suspended up by a stick with a piece of cheese and hope a potential reader tempted by the cheese gets trapped under the box and decides to read the comic to pass the time?
im hungry for attention 🐭 thots? opinions? words of wisdom?

Shamash answers: Children’s Corner, heat 3!
These are the unranked, only worth one entry winners because I apparently missed a BUNCH of these from heat 3 I am a disaster
There is a story that I read as a child, that I have never been able to find since and might not actually exist, that creeped me out for the longest time. The basic plot was that a young girl is staying at her fathers / grandfather's house, and she finds a box of his in the attic which contains some bizarre creatures. The more she interacts with these creatures, the more removed she becomes from the passage of time & the less able she is to interact with the rest of the world. It had such a sense of inevitability, like she was trapped into becoming merely a part of these creature's life cycle, it was really creepy. I've never been able to track it down; it might be a goosebumps book or a short story somewhere, or I may have just dreamed it up! --- @skylineofspace (I want to find and read this!)
Star Trek, The Next Generation. Tasha Yar's death. I was two and half years old at the time of airing. The vicious attack from the terrifying monster and the way her body was mangled, with horrible burns across her face gave me nightmares for months. I can still see it like it was yesterday, and I was too scared to rewatch the episode for years. When I finally screwed up my courage and rewatched, it was a powerful lesson in how the imagination of children can supplement what the universe provides, and how much more our perception of a situation often weighs than the actuality of it -- @pouncequick (I basically picked this for the last sentence, because honestly, what a great takeaway from the whole thing. How we misremember things as more intense, for good or ill, than they actually were)
I’m pretty sure I did the story about the picture-books-with-cassette tape for Gremlins in preschool last year. (And to be fair to my preschool teacher, it was Gremlins and I have seen eight-year-olds get obsessed with the Chuck E. Cheese Murder Animatronics Jumpscare Game. Three-year-olds, though… less frequent, I suspect.) Instead, that one Rugrats episode with the monster under Chuckie’s bed that’s just a sweater terrified me for a couple years. And then I rewatched it when it was on Hulu or something and finally found the fear tolerance of Chuckie Finster. I was a very easily-frightened child. --Regalli (I was the exact opposite, I was very very much a kid who sought out the bounds of my fear! But this was picked for finding the fear tolerance of Chuckie Finster ahahah)
the music video for postal by kapanga. from memory, a man slowly rips his flesh away to reveal that he's made of cardboard. it was a thoughtful political commentary of poverty, and i aprecciated that, but i did NOT need to see it at lunch every damn day (my family liked to put the music video channels. i usually liked it. until that thing left the top 40, i did not) -- @capribornio (This is EXACTLY the kind of weird shit I wanted to hear)
Honestly, when I was a kid, my parents were paranoid about allowing us to see anything even potentially upsetting. Power Rangers was too violent. Sesame Street taught us to call each other names - their little babies would NEVER have done such a thing without their terrible influence. This gradually wore down with each successive child until by kid #5 his favorite movie was The Mummy remake at the same age I was denied Power Rangers. If tweens count I was allowed to watch Saving Private Ryan at 12 for school (The Mummy was a regular staple at this point. Parental surrender was nearly complete.) The gore was disgusting, but I was more upset with how UNFAIR the deaths were! I'd been fed nothing but morality plays so having death be arbitrary and unjust and pointless felt cruel rather than realistic. I was a bit too old for it to be truly *traumatic* though. I already knew about slavery, the Holocaust, the Crusades, and plenty of other human atrocities. The only revelation was fiction being used to mirror that unfairness rather then rectify it. -- @annoni-no (Picked entirely for the idea of fiction sometimes needing to, or I guess you’re not saying it sometimes needs to, I am, mirror the unfairness of the world rather than rectify it. I am a person who loves when characters I care about must also meet with the rough edges of the world, and have to decide who they are in the face of it, and I love that y’all were allowed to watch it in grade school? In fairness, I think there’s nothing about that movie that glorifies war or violence)

What is Fully Hallowed/hallow infected!Roxy like personality wise?
Hm
Quiet. Like incredibly quiet. Any noise she makes is garbled like she's drowning. She can whisper but it's raspy and often not worth it. Who's she gonna talk to? The friends she's trying to kill? This does not apply to howls, which always sound echoey and haunting.
She's fast and probably moving all of the time. Though, will take it slow when she has someone to hunt, watching and waiting to pounce. Honestly, she's pretty scary and probably the biggest cause of injuries once she's turned. She'd probably lose her intelligence though and that would be her downfall. Think lured into traps and into crashing into trees or other creatures very easily kind of thing. Could probably fall for a block of cheese under a cardboard box.
I have the mental image of her napping in the sunshine so she probably does that during the day and prefers to run around at night.
