imagining this very funny totally amusing bit where dust (despite having a lot of pockets) makes horror carry a lighter for him (only because he can't be bothered to remember to bring one on him all the time) and horror keeps it in his head
but horror's a dick so everytime dust wants to smoke and he needs a light horror's always like "whats the password :3" (he actually said the emoticon i was the quotation marks) and dust has to guess. because horror changes it every time. and its never something predictable. and then he either just totally gives up on that cig or he has to forcefully dig into horror's head to get the lighter because horror's being a PRICK
now dust is shoulder deep into horror's eyesocket while horror is clawing and screaming and killer's just standing there behind them watching this unfold with that fuckass smile on his face (he can't get this type of entertainment anywhere else)
#bonus: this means that horror could theoretically breathe fire#like the world's shittiest magician!!!! he would need a shitton of fuel tho to get a big flame#peak mtt interactions i believe. knowledge of canon is only to make more ridiculous scenarios realistic#killer worlds best bystander to dust and horror's bullshit. he sees something he says NOTHING#erm well technically! the eye goop would get in the way of his vision so he actually doesn't see anything either! alright wrap it up pal#i COULD make this into a comic but i simply have larger priorities rn i cant (tweaking out over hw still)#horror if you were just less of a bitch maybe you wouldnt be in this situation#but it's the matter of the principle he says. dust has to guess the password he says. well who's complaining when dust is in your skull huh#this too counts as horrordust beefing. because you'd think that horror would just give the lighter to dust#but unfortunately this was posted by me (triglycercule) and i will have no such thing as bear horror on this account#dust would wear cargo shorts he would wear a cargo vest he'd have a belt with pockets he'd have secret shoe pockets he IS a pocket#why wouldnt dust just keep the lighter on him!!! CMON he's mellowed out since his dusttale days!! the human is dead so now he can be lazier#not lazy enough that he can couch rot for 3 weeks straight (he needs to stay SOMEWHAT active (force of habit))#but lazy enough where if he has a living purse then he will use said purse for its pursing purpose#horror's head doesnt even have enough space for dust to fit his arm in wtf. improper use of eye socket ahh 😭😭#tricule rant#killer sans#dust sans#horror sans#murder time trio#utmv#sans au#THEYRE SO SILLY MTT MY SILLY GOOFS!!!! a rare moment where they beef but it has nothing to do with their lore/backstories

༻✦༺
“No— No wait— What’s wrong— I’m sorry!!”
“Shut the fuck up.”
Wes was back from the bars early tonight. Seven hadn’t expected it. Immediately when he heard the door slam, he knew something was very wrong.
Wes’ eyes were on him before he could hide, cornering him just past the main staircase.
Wes was taking his time spitting out whatever it was, leaning back against the bannister, arms crossed. The pose would read as casual to anyone who wasn’t Seven.
“They told me everything tonight, you know,” Wes was rarely so deadpan—it put Seven even more on edge. “And you’re in trouble.”
Seven’s stomach dropped. Oh god, what had he done? He unconsciously stepped back, not sure where he was headed but satisfied with anywhere else at all, with the way Wes was looking at him right now.
Wes stalked towards him, eyes burning. “I heard all about that little stunt you pulled last weekend.”
“I don’t— I don’t know what you mean, sir—please I—“
Seven stumbled back, tripping on the edge of the coffee table and landing in a heap on the floor.
“You’re gonna play dumb. Okay. You think I didn’t see proof? They showed me fucking pictures."
Pictures of what?? Seven was panicking more and more with every word that came out of Wes’ mouth. Immediately, he tried to scramble back up. He did not want Wes to get him on the ground so easily. Seven had been there enough times to know he never lasted long after that. They weren’t exactly in the same weight-class.
His mind was racing. He thought back to that last weekend. What little he could remember. God, which parties had happened last weekend? He remembered waking up in the upstairs ensuite bathtub wearing one pink fuzzy handcuff. He remembered a Sunday morning slice of room-temperature pepperoni pizza. He remembered cleaning Wes’ entire place by himself with a terrible skull-splitting hangover. He remembered leaning against the walls when the nausea got too bad. None of this seemed too out of the ordinary.
He rose on unsteady feet, the back of his knee seared from where it’d bashed into the table. He realized he was shaking.
Wes stalked towards him with a dangerous expression, forcing Seven to shuffle back towards the paned glass wall.
“You think you can just take whatever you want? Take what’s mine?”
“No! No I didn’t— I- I wasn’t —“
Seven didn’t even know what he was being accused of. He hadn’t taken anything, he thought earnestly. He raked his mind through his memories, searching for what he might’ve taken, anything that might’ve angered him.
He just needed a moment. A moment to breathe. A moment to explain.
“Please sir,” he pleaded, “Please you have to listen—“
Wes’ hand clapped him hard across the face. He let out a gasp of pain, the surprise in his voice rang high pitched and clear despite the fact that he should’ve expected it. Wes was clearly in no listening mood.
“I don’t have to do shit you tell me to. Got that?” Wes reached for his belt. Seven flinched, hands raising protectively to his face.
“On your fucking knees.”
Seven’s knees hit the floor before he processed the words.
“Please, sir,—I-I can explain—” Why was he still talking? Seven was beyond desperate now, pleading that Wes would just wait a moment before doing whatever horrible thing he was about to do.
Several horrible things flashed through Seven’s mind as he watched Wes tug the belt from its buckle and slide it out from his overpriced jeans. Would he whip him with it? He hoped it would be the leather side. It’d take so much longer to heal if Wes hit him with the buckle. He’d be useless for weeks. Or forced to work injured. More injured than usual.
He was so focused on the belt that he forgot to fear Wes himself for a moment, and caught the hard sting of reality when Wes backhanded him on the other side of his face.
Seven’s head snapped to the side. The force of it stole the breath from his lungs—a sharp exhale and a small, choked cry.
“You should know where your fucking hands go.”
The moment the room stopped slurring, Seven twisted his arms tightly behind his back. One hand gripping the other wrist, just to make sure.
“Yes, sir,” he said, like a trapped, scared animal.
Wes twisted the belt in his hands, shifting his weight and studying it, feeling it.
Seven knelt, petrified. He had done what Wes had asked. He was being good. He just needed to explain. Whatever this was, he was sure it was a misunderstanding.
But he didn’t speak. He’d been hit enough times to know Wes didn’t want him to talk.
Wes walked behind him. Seven knew better than to turn his head and try to look. But he heard—felt his footsteps. He always felt Wes’ footsteps. Like his ears were trained to perk up when Wes stalked down a hallway or paced a room.
Or when they were approaching. Right now—his feet were approaching.
Seven felt Wes’ hands around his wrists. He stared at the floor. He didn’t dare move his head.
So that’s what the belt is for, some relieved part of him thought. The part that wanted this to be over. That wanted this to be easy.
But it was never easy. It was never what he’d predicted either.
He’d predicted the belt. What he felt was the cold bite of metal. Heard that chilling, unmistakable zipping sound as he felt the handcuffs cinch behind him.
Seven’s heart was pounding. Wes had made them tight. He knew better than to complain. Seven let his fingers tangle together, determined not to yank on the cuffs and cut off his own circulation. After all, he had no idea how long Wes was going to keep him like this.
Seven kept still as Wes’ shoes came into view again. Clean. Expensive. Some brand Seven probably couldn’t even pronounce.
He glanced up when he saw the belt again. Still twisting in Wes’ hands.
“Oh you’re wondering what this is for, right?” Wes was snide, there was something darker to him, more hateful than his usual mocking tone and cheating grin.
“Glad you asked. I’m finally going to get a confession out of you.”
“For—for what, sir?” Seven cursed the way his voice trembled.
Faster than he could blink, Wes slapped him hard enough to make the last two feel like love taps. It was a perfect angle, right down from the cheekbone to the edge of his jaw. Bright white flashed across Seven’s vision and he cried out, its force toppling him over. With no arms to catch himself, he landed roughly on his shoulder. He cursed the marble floor. Apart from Wes himself, it had probably caused him the most bruises lately.
He blinked the flashing out of his eyes and shrank in on himself, panting, trying to recover from the past few hits before Wes inevitably made it worse. He felt them blooming atop one another—broken capillaries pulsating on his cheeks, bleeding together like melding colors of paint. If Wes could just stop hitting him in the same damn spots.
“For what,” Wes’ voice was bitter poison. “Are you fucking serious right now?”* He kicked Seven hard in the ribs before gripping his hair and yanking his head up.
“The FUCK do you think??” Wes’ eyes were wide, his anger edged with something raw—frantic, almost. It wasn’t just his usual brand of assholery. There was something real beneath it this time, in his own Wes sort of way. Gone was the awful smirk, the smug amusement. He was actually pissed.
“This is why I have to take drastic measures with you, you know,” he spat. “Because you think you can just sneak around behind my back and play dumb and I won’t fucking notice anything?”
Seven was silent— he was watching the belt in Wes’ hands. It was more than a prop now. Wes was stepping forward—belt unfurled. Seven tried to pull his head away, but without use of his arms, and stuck down on his knees, there was little he could do to stop Wes from grabbing him hard, from looping the belt around his throat and yanking it tight.
“I’m gonna fucking skin you. You really are as stupid as you look.”
Seven didn’t move, didn’t breathe. His eyes locked onto Wes—wide, glassy, trembling—like a single blink might give him away.
“Fine. Fuck you. I’ll spell it out.”
Wes leaned in, his voice slow and deliberate, like he was explaining basic math to a brick wall.
“Last weekend. The Spring Wreckers pregame. You. And. Brie.”
Seven’s eyes went wide. He remembered that night. Pieces of it. It wasn’t— it wasn’t his choice. Wes had to understand it wasn’t his choice.
“No—wait—sir please you don’t under—“ a tight cinch of the belt cut him off, leaving him choking on dead air, words lost, trapped in his throat.
“You really thought you could get one up on me didn’t you,” Wes’ gaze burned into him, the stench of bourbon on his breath stung Seven’s eyes.
“You thought you could be soo fucking sneaky. Take her to the back closet and have your little seven minutes in fucking heaven???”
Wes cinched it tighter.
“No-noo!—” Seven’s voice was a sharp cry, but another tug shrank it to a hoarse, frantic whisper. “Please—p-please sir— It wasn’t—“
Seven choked on his own words as the leather dug in, tightening around his throat like a boa constrictor.
“I—I didn’t— – Please—“ Seven choked out with the last of his effort, before Wes yanked the belt even tighter and took Seven’s voice away completely—just like that. He was left mouthing uselessly, silent pleas dying in his throat.
Seven tried not to panic, but his vision was starting to darken at the corners—a hazy vignette gifted by his brain’s lack of oxygen. Seven tried to gasp, but his throat made nothing but pathetic choking sounds.
Pressure. Pressure in his head. Air. He needed air. But most of all he needed blood. Without blood sending oxygen to his brain, he wouldn’t last much longer. He knew how this worked. That didn't make him panic any less, though. Didn't stop his thoughts from fizzling at the edges until they reduced completely to a single burning point, every fiber of it screaming for oxygen.
Seven pleaded with his eyes—begged through the blur of tears for air, for release, for Wes to shut the fuck up and listen for once. It was an accident— they’d gotten him drunk—wasted—and Brie had yanked him in by the collar of his shirt that night—she’d dragged him into that closet. He hadn’t had any choice.
He never did. Not when it came to Brie, or Wes, or anyone, it seemed.
But of course Wes wasn’t having any of it.
“Enough with the fucking excuses. You’re gonna confess to everything you did or I’m gonna choke you ‘til you pass out for real this time. And then I'm gonna do it again.”
It was lost on Seven’s rapidly waning mind how he was meant to confess to anything while being choked half to death.
That was the last thing he thought before he passed out.
✧ ✧ ✧
Seven awoke to a sharp kick in the ribs.
“Wake up.”
His eyes snapped open at the sudden pain. He gasped, trying to remember what had just happened. His head was pounding.
Wes tried again, and, dissatisfied when he got no response further than a faint groan, Seven felt that familiar yank, that tightening around his throat—he knew what to expect but he still hated it.
That pain was still hammering away inside his skull. He begged in his mind that Wes wouldn’t make him get up. Not right now. Not yet. Please.
But the yank came again, harder this time. He groaned until the belt tightened further and rendered him silent. Wes yanked him up by the neck, forcing Seven to follow until he was back in a kneeling position.
Seven didn’t fight it. There was no point. It was obey or be choked out again. Obey and breathe.
His shoulders ached in their position, still locked back by the cuffs. One side burning from collapsing on the floor again. He felt numbness in his fingers. Deep rings would be forming around his wrists by now, he could feel it.
How long had he been out?
He decided he’d rather not think about it, and let his head fall forward, exhausted.
Wrong move, apparently, because it granted him a tight fist in his hair and Wes yanking his head up to face him.
“Now that you’ve had your beauty rest, let’s try this one more time. You’re gonna tell me everything. And then I’m going to teach you a lesson that will make you never want to touch her ever again.”

Eyy, King Reaper and his beloved Mage Geno designs <3
#new age au#Geno is very tall (tall Geno supremacy <3) and Reaper usually floats so he's just slightly taller than Geno on any normal day <3#if he unties his robe in the back it drags along the floor at the perfect height to feign being very tall-#ohh I have so many thoughts about them :]#Geno's magic manifests as crystals so he wears some on his outfit (and keeps more in his pockets)#the black and purple ones on his belt are meant to be a little reference to Reaper (and Dust. before meeting him he only has a black one-)#Geno also uses a Cane! he's insanely skilled and powerful but on sone days magic fatigue finally catches up to him and he has to use it#the black half-robe was also the only accessory Reaper could convince Geno to adopt from his kingdom- that and the Sandals haha-#(I like to think Error made Geno's scarf-)#and ofc Reaper...#he's been ruling for so long that he lives in comfort rather than appearance because. i mean. no one is going to doubt him at this point#he leaves his ribcage exposed as a show of his confidence in his rule (direct access to his soul basically-) but also because. well.#he thinks he's eye-candy 🙏#and in his kingdom the crown/sign of royalty are those olive branch circlets#he wears his over his hood usually. Geno recieved one when Reaper officially finished courting him. Dust would eventually get one. though#for him it's more the equivalent of a wedding ring since his loyalty lies with Nightmare still and he has little official ruling power in#Reaper's kingdom.#oh! Reaper also wears a littlr band Geno made him once on his ribs. it's a nice red gem that he's vaguely aware is actually a tracking spel#Geno thought he was being subtle about it. he. in fact. was not. but Reaper let him get away with it 🙏#oh!!! last thing#Geno sometimes wears a nice silk wrap over his bad eye that's a nice clean white. it usually depends if he's doing magic or not#because his eye tends to get melty again if he strains during casting. and he's always overdoing it lmao-#anyways yeah#mm lied one more note#Reaper's wings are optional. kinda like a manifestation of his Ecto in a way since he doesn't need them to float#more just sonething to make him more regal or appear more threatening!#now I'm done#my favorite goofballs <3#spot!drawn#my art

Di!tommy wearing a cloth belt but he has to tie it in a knot to hold his shorts up because he’s so skinny and unwell rn…
#‘and the belt wrapped around my shrinking waist is having trouble trying to keep the damn things up…’#<- lyrics from hungover in the city of dust by autoheart#do you get it??#just a recent design idea that’s been brewing in the brain#I don’t know if I’ve been drawing him with a belt but I’m gonna start. if I remember#rozu thoughts#distorted illusions

Charlie: Okay, Goodness Lesson #1: you see someone drop their wallet. (whipsers to Angel Dust) Angel, drop the wallet. (Angel drops his wallet) Now, what would you do?
Sir Pentious: Excuse me, sir, but I do believe you dropped your wallet.
Angel Dust: Doesn't look familiar to me.
Sir Pentious: What? I just saw you drop it. Here.
Angel: Nope; it's not mine.
Sir Pentious: It is yours. I am trying to be a good person and return it to you.
Angel: Return what to who?
Sir Pentious: *facepalms* Aren't you Anthony Vincent Giovanni?
Angel: Yep.
Sir Pentious: And this is your ID.
Angel: Yep.
Sir Pentious: I found this ID in this wallet, and if that's the case, this must be your wallet.
Angel: That makes sense to me.
Sir Pentious: Then take it.
Angel: It's not my wallet.
Sir Pentious: *screams* YOU DIPSHIT! TAKE YOUR FUCKING WALLET OR I'LL RIP YOUR ARMS OFF!

my 50-year-old kenmore has been refusing to sew (locking up either immediately or after a single stitch, usually without grabbing the bobbin thread) and i’ve checked everything i feel competent to check so it’s time to drag it to a local repair place and see if it’s cheaper to repair or replace
#i’ve oiled everything and pretty sure i got all the lint and dust out?#and the belt seems in okay shape? but maybe it’s loose idk#i’m curious whether it’s the bobbin? because the bobbin’s a tiny bit loose#we’ll find out sometime in the next couple of days!#chatterbox tag

sorry i’m thinking about the thats no moon scene again. no not about the death star. the choice to have them arrive just in time to drop out of hyperspace directly into the asteroid cloud that remained of the entire planet is so ludicrously profound to me i’ve been tormented by it since monday. it’s cinema . it’s fucking torture. the dust on the hunk of junk that leia rides to safety after her rescue is literally the rock and dirt and bones of her people. she does not know this. there’s nothing there. but there is
#i!!!!!!!!! fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a fucking choice!!!!! every time i see that scene it eats at me!!!!!!!!!!!!#it’s one of those logistics things that you don’t think of but of COURSE. The planets not GONE . ITS THERE. ITS AN ASTEROID BELT AND A DUST#CLOUD AND . FUCK. it’s a fucking asteroid belt. . it’s not on any maps#it’s on every map. it’s gone. it’s still there#fuck.#star wars#posts from a galaxy far far away

That Modern(ish) Tauverse AU where we have Nightmare and his four adoptive sons now has this lil collection of Bad Reference Doodles lol!
#tauverse#Heads up the sizing for the brothers is... inaccurate?#i mean. Horror does outgrow the rest of them but like. Dust + Killer look miniscule becayse they were my warm-ups haha!#Night still gets the halo in this one but only for Aesthetic Purposes (still just a manifestation of his magic)#Killer. the eldest + official heir to Night's Company? yeahhh he's punk/grunge. his best friend is the thrift store#and he wears a bunch of leather and spikes + belts + old shirts lol#Dust meanwhile lives in his hoodie + wears headphones all the time + tries to hide himself as much as possible#Dust has the Big Backpack full of a bunch of random supplies but also both his and Killer's school stuff.#Horror adopted the 'soft boy' aesthetic with light sweaters + earth tones + the shoulder bag w/ pins pretty early on#as he got bigger and broader he just... couldn't abandon the style.#and Cross is still just a lil guy. he wears a lot of comfy clothes + carries around his favorite stuffy on his#belt loop thanks to a carabiner#Night lets the boys choose their own outfits and behaviors so long as they don't get caught committing crimes. and so long as#they dress up a little for his Work Events#these are pretty much their continued aesthetics into adulthood. except Killer sometimes ditches the jackets and Dust adopts zipper hoodies#(also Dust's headphones are painted red. a gift from his deceased brother from when they were both very very little)#side note!!!#in the future? Killer *does* take on a bigger role in Night's company. but on the side he's a really passionate#chemical engineer. it's what he went to uni for.#Dust goes into building high-tech prosthetics after Killer's accident. though he always wanted to be a mechanical engineer so it's great!#Horror I think would find his passion in physics still. but it'd be used to work in a museum or interactive lab#he's like the guy they pull out to explain things to kids on fieldtrips or give talks to the community when stuff is going on!#then Cross? well. i think he still goes into literature. he's a damn-good author and seems like Night's least-successful kid intitally...#well. private investigator is his side gig. he researches into cases others won't take due to risks!#he's good at it lol.#OKAY. i'm done. i have to get back to work. i just had to post these lol

WWE's Saudi Arabia PPV events are so interesting to me because like, Saudi Arabia has some of the biggest stadiums on Earth and love sportswashing so the presentation is always Wrestlemania-level huge but the WWE side is always so phoned in because the Saudi government barely actually cares about the context or content of the show. Like, when the Saudi government and WWE were initially pitching event ideas the Saudi government requested Yokozuna to show up despite Yokozuna having been dead for literally almost 25 years
Like, almost all of the matches are Raw main event caliber but so long as Logan Paul, Cody Rhodes, and Rhea Ripley are on the show they don't give a shit. The matches were good but the intercontinental 3 way is literally like, an upper-mid level TV main event and Liv Morgan vs Becky Lynch just feels like they've been hot potatoing the belt around because they didn't wanna give Becky or Liv an actual consequential feud before Rhea got back and Nia Jax was already on tournament duty.
Any feuds that could've played into the King/Queen of the Ring tournament already played out on TV like, within the first two rounds anyway except for Randy Orton and Tama Tonga. Tama Tonga vs Jey Uso would've actually been a pretty important match for the whole Bloodline story too but they like, almost deliberately avoided doing that because they seemingly did not wanna waste an important match on a Saudi PPV, and because Saudi doesn't give a shit because they get to see Randy Orton instead.
This isn't even mentioning the last Saudi event, Crown Jewel 2023, which might be the most filler live event I've ever seen. Like, Rhea Ripley defeats the entire Raw women's midcard? Logan Paul takes the 4th most important belt in WWE off of 104 year old Rey Mysterio? LA Knight gets his obligatory non-clean loss to Roman that everyone gets when they transition from the midcard to the main event? The build to every Saudi PPV is always the most "we need to fill 4 weeks of television" shit of all time they DO NOT care.
#all of the K/QotR matches went hard tho#damian priest#wasnt even on the fucking show#please weve been watching becky liv and nia wrestle each other almost weekly since like february#crown jewel 2024#they dust off hulk hogan and let his body disintegrate hitting the leg drop because itll pop the saudi government#wwe#IC belt match literally had a fucked finish it is a TV match#why were bianca belair and jade cargill put on the preshow??
