Return to The Quarry - BONUS FEATURE: The Notes of Gerhard Fluchvater (redacted for public safety) (on Wattpad) https://www.wattpad.com/1470220584-return-to-the-quarry-bonus-feature-the-notes-of?utm_source=web&utm_medium=tumblr&utm_content=share_reading&wp_uname=Conspicuous_Mending It's 2027. The luxury resort built on what was once Hackett's Quarry Summer Camp has folded and wants to close out their accounts - which include paying off the debts of the former camp and damages to the nine counselors nearly killed in the "bear attacks" of 2021. Accompanied by the law firm's psychologist, the former counselors reluctantly return to the quarry to confront the past - if only to free themselves from the grip of that awful night in August. Things soon take a frightening turn. Finding themselves stranded on the property and hunted by a masked assailant - a hideously armed man in an executioner's hood, it becomes clear that escape from the property will not be as easy as it looks. Rigged with deadly devices and made into a death trap, the quarry is also the hunting grounds of the angry spirit of Eliza Vorez, who seeks revenge of her own. That is, if the inner demons each of the counselors are grappling with don't consume them first. Once again, they are at the mercy of the Hackett family's secrets. Those misdeeds may have been buried, but not so deep that Bizarre Yet Bonafide's own Grace and Anton cannot ferret them out. On this night, they have found themselves captive alongside the hapless counselors while pursuing one such secret: the disappearances of a silent film actress in 1925, and her biographer later in 1952. Both women, it seems, shared Hackett's Quarry as their last destination. To escape the hooded predator, the hunted must rely on each other to thwart the traps, overcome personal trauma, and unearth what happened to those two women. Doing so is their only hope of finding a way out of Hackett's Quarry - for good. Whether they want to or not, they will learn the awful significance of the Hackett's bootlegging operation, the reason why the Hacketts were so desperate to repair the Lodge, and even the origin of the werewolf curse itself. It is either that or be killed. And after all, what doesn't kill you will make you stronger.

i just saw the ask i got forever ago saying “redash forever! otp!” and im still so curious as to who sent it 😂

[lgbthequarry]

Its late, and i'm tired, but im have feelings and all about fictional teenagers from a fuckin video game

[emmamountebanks]

url change from emmamountebanks > tdjulia while im amidst my hyperfixation

[jackienautism]

i like your tags so im gonna put them here too

of COURSE its ok to criticize emma for doing what she did- esp since shes supposed to be abi's best friend- but when its JUST her ppl criticize? thats just plain wrong and dumb. and it makes you look shitty

and nick totally seemed into it! see how he like ? TOTALLY leaned into it not even SECONDS after emma approached him? and while i dont doubt that nick cares for abi atleast a tiny bit, his intentions w/ her become that much clearer after this scene imo

on that note actually, take what i say w/ a grain of salt bc i don't necessarily go out of my way to look for it, but its sooo interesting to me how emma always gets the flack(?) regarding the truth or dare scene when nick was just as involved LOL

i say this because its ALWAYS gonna be emma to be the character that someone dislikes or hates, so why not nick too dog. he could've said NO...... even fucking dylan prefaces everything w/ "2 ppl can kiss as long as everyone consents!" nick couldve said NO and yet he DIDNT

and also is it just me or does kaitlyn have some sort of strange immunity bc shes soooo associated w/ dylan? like. kaitlyn was the one to curate this entire scene and yet no one shits on her for it. or they do. im not so sure if im being honest. and that could lead me into something else kaitlyn related but i wont go into it

[johnnyutah]

wait i liked listing out my fav girl characters for that post so much so i wanna share some pics of my faves.

from top left: dolores abernathy (westworld), sidney prescott (scream), nancy wheeler (stranger things), amanda brotzman (dirk gently’s holistic detective agency), tess ocean (ocean’s 11), fringilla vigo (the witcher netflix), amy brookheimer (veep), feng min (dead by daylight), and maeve millay (westworld).

Kenzie's commission appreciation thread <3

So I am a self-proclaimed commission addict. I love supporting people in any way I can, and of course in return I get to see my lovely characters brought to light.

That being said, I wanted to create a thread of posts of ones I've gotten to spread the love and appreciation I have for all these artists (this post will be continuously updated as I get more... cause I will...)

1. @emmamountebank Med was the first person I ever commissioned back in like 2020. She did one of Chrashley (and even made me an icon for Tumblr without me asking for it cause she's nice <3), and then a header/icon for my Twitch back when I was streaming regularly, but I still use the icon because it's me! And it looks so good! Love you Med <3 <3 <3 <3

The Hackett Family Tree that was on the wall in the house. Transcribed it out of it’s cursive to something more easily readable in case others wanted to know what the tree looked like lol. Only bit of info I wasn’t able to figure out was the line that was written under Nathaniel Hackett’s date of birth and death.

Transcript under the cut.

Jedediah Hackett (1681 - 1722) married Tempest Seimer (1692 - 1740) and they had one son, Nathaniel Hackett (1710 - 1765).

Nathaniel married Agnes Farthing (1717 - 1730) and they had three children. Two sons: Increase Hackett (1742 - 1806) and Secundus Hackett (1745 - 1750), as well as one daughter: Faith Hackett (1750 - 1830).

Increase married Hope Mather (1750 - 1810) and they had one son, Citus Hackett (1805 - 1856).

Citus married Mary Piggin (1810 - 1830) and they had one son, Azariah Hackett (1830 - 1905). He is noted as being Nathaniel’s great-grandson. All children after him are marked similarly now.

Azariah married Ellen Washington (1835 - 1913) and they had seven children, five sons and two daughters. In order they are listed as: Benjamin Hackett (1855 - 1870, great-great-grandson), Matthias Hackett (1856 - 1880, great-great-grandson), George Hackett (1860 - 1926, great-great-grandson), Suzette Hackett (1860 - 1880, great-great-grandaughter), Thomas Hackett (1872 - 1877, great-great-grandson), Annabell Hackett (1888 - 1939, great-great-granddaughter), and Septimus Hackett (1890 - 1944, great-great-grandson).

Septimus married Moira Jackson (1895 - 1955) and they had two children. One daughter: Leah Hackett (1915 - 1965, great-great-great-grandaughter) and one son: Francis Hackett (1917 - 1975,  great-great-great-grandson).

Francis married Louisa Clarke (1920 - 1985) and they had one son, Jedediah Hackett (1940, great-great-great-great-grandson).

Jedediah married Constance Guendy (1943) and they have three sons: Travis Hackett (1965, great-great-great-great-great-grandson), Christopher Hackett (1973,  great-great-great-great-great-grandson) and Robert Hackett (1976,  great-great-great-great-great-grandson).

Chris married Amelia Grant (1973 - 1999) and they have two children. One son: Caleb Hackett (1995, great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson ) and one daughter: Kaylee Hackett (1999, great-great-great-great-great-great-grandaughter).

Just finished a run through of The Quarry, and I’m crying cause this was the pic they used for the final headline after the podcast finished

Man I love this particular key art they used in the game for so many reasons. One of which is just the fact that the lightening in this is just gorgeous obviously, and the background of the moon behind the treehouse with that gorgeous starry sky. But the rest is just you can tell exactly what plans they had for the characters at this point and how things changed with all of them.

Like Jacob, Kaitlyn, and Ryan have little differences from how they finally ended up in the game. Their designs at this point were set in stone and I love that!

Apparently Dylan once had long hair and a manbun (plus he was apparently blond at one point????) and instead of the t-shirt it’s a jacket with patches on the sleeve, and it’s so different from what we actually got that it blows me away. Emma’s wearing a white tangtop with her hair down and shorts it looks like.

But the two that interest me the most are Nick and Abi. Mostly because I feel like they’re changes were decided on much, much later down the line. Like it’s hard to tell but Nick is clearly wearing glasses here, and we know from that unused drawing of Nick in Abi’s sketchbook that he was wearing glasses in all of them.

And Abi? Her outfit of that jacket, shorts, and knee length socks? Super familiar and absolutely jumped out at me right away because this picture of Abi that you can find in Chris’s office?

hi okay I need more people to know this because for……….reasons (my thumb gets tired even though I’m trying to be so brave about it)

if you use the mobile app a lot and you post fanfic or really long headcanon lists or literally whatever and it’s too much effort for you to go onto desk top and add the “keep reading” tab so you just don’t do it even if you want to, then here’s the mobile version:

If you type “ :readmore: ” (the stuff within the quotation marks but not the quotation marks) and then press enter it will add a “keep reading” line break

colon (:) no space, the word “readmore”, no space, another colon (:), enter

and when you post it will post as a normal “keep reading”

mobile users <3 please use this feature <3

genuinely you do you if you know about this and just don’t like the keep reading but if you didn’t know, now you know!

how to "get shit done": uni work addition

hi loveliest people so this is a sort of guide to how i get through uni work without going completely insane (make no mistake there is still some insanity present). I hope you find it helpful, or at least entertaining,

(disclaimer cause this is the internet: these work for me, they may not work for you)

table of contents:

a. date it

b. set reminders

c. how to stay on top of it

d. how to get on top of it if you aren't already

e. learn when your brain needs a break

f. uni is a full time job, treat it as such

A. date it

okay the first thing i do at the beginning of every semester is put uni dates in my calendar.

Term dates: when your term starts, when it ends, and your holidays. this is not just for information purposes but also so you have something to look forward to. additionally, it helps later on when you have to plan out assignment and test dates.

Assignment/ test dates: scour through the course outlines of all your courses and put every single date into your calendar. every assignment, every test, anything you have to submit goes in. that includes things like "weekly quizzes". make it a recurring date and chuck it in there.

B. set reminders

so i usually do this in my calendar but if you have a reminders app, or prefer other ways to set reminders then use that.

these reminders are not to make you feel bad for not doing work, it's to hold you responsible for your work. if you know you spiral at the idea of seeing a reminder when you haven't done work, this strategy may not work for you. don't give up, something will work. keep trying and have patience with yourself

if you know something is approaching it's easier to plan your life and your tasks around it. if you never know how long you have or you're always scrambling to figure out when something is due your mind is so focused on the dates it has no time for the work

Assignment reminders:

2 weeks before // 1 week before // 3 days before // 1 day before // 10 minutes before // on time of event

Test reminders:

1 week before // 3 days before // 1 day before // 1 hour before // on time of event

I know this may be excessive but if you're someone like me who constantly forgets things, it is very helpful to keep yourself on track

okay trust me you got this! i promise it's not as bad as it looks. right onto readings and assignments.

C. how to stay on top of it

do one reading per course per day: this is non-negotiable. trust me it is the easiest way to get through readings for a week.

if you have four courses of five readings each you will end up doing four readings a day from Monday to Friday. it is workable and you can do it. uni is fucking difficult and everyone has a story about why they're there but i promise you if you're there, the selection processes decided you were capable enough to handle it. and you are. if you can, start a week earlier so you're a little ahead otherwise it's totally okay.

2. start research for assignments 2 weeks before it is due. this will give you time and space to sort through what is relevant, useful, or should be discarded.

i have a folder for each assignment where all my research goes. within this folder there are three other folders: a. done and dusted b. too long/ not relevant c. could be helpful if i cared enough

and as i go through each paper/article/etc. i sort it into one of the three folders

hi tumblr i made another uquiz. i've lost track of how many i've made at this point hehehe

anyway it's seven q's, no celebrities, and descriptive results. there's of course poetry, some clothes, and general fun things. anyway take it and let me know what you get in the tags.

it is worth mentioning here: i'm gonna ask that if you do not like men (as in you think negatively of them), do not take this quiz. you will most likely not be happy with it. pertaining to results: there are no descriptions of physical appearance, additionally, all of them apply to trans-men as well. i will eat you if you're transphobic on my quiz.

okay i love you byeeee

i'm back at it again, this time I got a list of all the stupid decisions that the until dawn characters can or do make (some of these are player choice or determined by them, others will always playout regardless of choice), hopefully in chronological order or as close to it as I can figure - let me know if I miss anything!

this will contain until dawn spoilers!

PROLOGUE

Sam trying to prevent the prank happening by searching the house for Hannah instead of just waiting outside her room for her to show up and then letting her know what was going on

Hannah running out into the freezing cold of a mountain woods instead of just going into the basement or the library or some shit

Hannah running alone to the cliff edge instead of following Beth who was heading away from it

CHAPTER TWO

Chris using a makeshift flamethrower to open a frozen door when they could have brought everyone round to the window and just climbed in, albeit more carefully than Chris did

CHAPTER THREE

Jess assuming that her phone being thrown through a window was a prank being played by the others? and shouting at whoever it was in the freezing open possibly in her underwear?

CHAPTER FOUR

Mike using the scope of the gun to look at Jess being dragged away instead of aiming it at whoever or whatever the hell is attacking her

Chris not going to grab Sam and get her help after he is knocked out, Ashley goes missing, and he finds shit like blood on the wall

CHAPTER FIVE

Mike interacting with the arm moving in the middle of the room which is very clearly out of the ordinary and has been set up for something that is not likely to be good

CHAPTER SIX

Matt attacking the big wild elk that greatly outnumber and are surrounding him and Emily while on the edge of a cliff

Ashley being able to stab the Psycho and then not making any efforts to escape while he cries out over his wound and moves away from her

CHAPTER SEVEN

Emily not moving away from the falling tower resulting in her leg being injured

CHAPTER EIGHT

Emily closing the door on the wendigo only to stand against it instead of continuing to run, resulting in her being bitten

Chris and the Stranger going to get Josh despite hearing about and knowing about the wendigo, resulting in the Stranger's death and Chris being either injured or killed

Mike deciding to leave the safety of the basement to try and find Josh for the cable car key despite the Stranger and possibly Chris' deaths immediately prior, and the fact that rescue should be coming

Sam deciding they need to leave the basement as well to get Mike

The group leaving the revolver in the basement

CHAPTER NINE

Mike taking only a handful of ammo for the shotgun when there's a whole box that he could take (yes the game gives him unlimited ammo and plot armour no matter how many shots he makes but shhh it's a stupid decision anyway)

Chris staying behind from the group if Ashley does not encourage him to keep up

Ashley investigating what she believes is Jessica's voice even though she has read the Stranger's journal which reveals the mimic abilities of the wendigo

Travis Hackett x Laura Kearney shippers dni <3

y'all please even if the age gap wasn't that bad - 18-20 and 56 is Gross - he drugged her, held her and her boyfriend hostage for two months, made her watch her boyfriend transform into a werewolf in which he attacked her violently, and forced her to risk her life to help him fix his family's mistake

she also can drug or shoot him, and can kill several members of his family, attacks him, and he can kill her??? where are y'all seeing the romance?????

(editing this to say that i'm not asking for justification in any way, that is not the intended interpretation, I do not want to hear why y'all are shipping them - already heard stuff about 'chemistry', this is very much rhetorical, thank you)

let her and max be the only healthy relationship this game has in Peace y'all

I am going to say this now, before the show has gone on too long and before he's managed to pull his little PR move

I want Matt Hancock to be the first out on I'm a Celebrity

he is there to make himself seem funny and likeable and not just a politician, but a cool figure that people don't see and immediately think of the scandals he has been involved in

and if he makes it far into the 'vote for who you save' section of the show, he will have succeeded

i want him to get voted to go through the most miserable, uncomfortable trials, and I want him to suffer while he's there

and then I want him to be the first out, to be reminded that no one really wants him there, no one wants him to win the show, that no one likes him and his ploy to seem relatable and more than what he is has failed

I need people to remember that he is scum, and this is all being done to save face, and that he should not be allowed to get away with this shit

Here's the Until Dawn iconic and absolutely ridiculous lines masterlist, please let me know if there's any good ones that I miss! Sorry this took a while, I had to be Thorough with this. (no they aren't in any particular order, I apologise for that)

MIKE

Maybe we should start with a little, you know, making out, and see where it goes from there.

Jesus hot sauce Christmas cake.

Oh my God, totally, we're SO gonna make-out!

Shutters are shutted.

That scared the blue out of my jeans!

Alright! Let's get going, ya fucked up sonnovabitch.

What- are you serious? Now I gotta find a fucking keycard?!

Fuck nuggets!

All wrapped like a little present with a bow on top for that thing to tear us apart on Christmas morning?

This is the safe room, Em!

One at a time, boys. There's enough of me for all a'ya.

Got any marshmallows?

ASHLEY

Go suck an egg!

What are you tweeting?! Hashtag there's a freaking ghost after us?!

Chris, if this is your way of trying to make me feel better... you're fired.

We're freezing our buns off out here!

EMILY

Understand the palm of my hand, bitch.

It was just a prank, Han!

Rule number one, Emily is always right. Rule number two, nothing else matters because Emily is always right.

Holy Cannoli.

Ugh. Unfollow.

Oh, did you not hear me? Was your sluttiness too loud?

At least I can think. 4.0, bitch, honor roll. Suck on that when you're trying to sleep your way into a job.

Oh God. Here goes six hundred bucks... Better be worth it. I looked great in that top.

Meatbrain? Mister Musclebrawn? Matt the incredible sulk?

I found her head. I found Beth's head. ||| Beth freaking Washington.

And wears it well @emmamountebanks

insanely important thrift store find

[jackienautism]

fave moments from the beta pt 1 bc i had to split it in half for tumblr's sake. ranges from parts i find funny to parts i find interesting to parts i feel are crucial to a character's development / characterization

all clips uploaded by digital preservation on youtube

reasoning as to why i included clips under cut:

1: HELLACIOUS? WHAT?

2: i like how jess floats for a sec

3: sam in the beta is just so much .... different than what we got dfjkgfg and i honestly think thats more of a good thing. there are just times where im like ...... wow. the current game's sam would NEVER say that. or maybe she would! i dont know! but in my interpretation of sam, she wouldn't call emily a bitch literally to her face jkdfgfjg i was SO shocked hearing her say that the first time i watched chapter 2. if anything, i can see her being cruel and shit behind people's backs....similar to what emmamountebank has talked abt in terms of sam's potential flaws... so im interested that they sort of played into that theory in the beta. but imo i just. i can't see sam being MEAN yk? yeah sure she can be sarcastic and shit but downright rude? i just... i can't see it. not after everyuthing she's gone through. and it seems like in the beta sam wasnt meant to be hannah's best friend? i could absolutely be wrong though.

i like how this already establishes emily and jess' "rivalry," meaning you dont need to wait for the lodge fight to occur. which seems to happen regardless in this version of the beta. plus based on this version's intro / prologue, their past friendship wasn't established. so that's one thing im definitely glad they added to today's game

EATING UP HOW EMILY CALLS SAM SWEETIE LOL prob more so done in a derogatory sense here but she also calls matt sweetie later soooooooo

ALSO I LIKE HOW THIS SCENES SETS UP FOR EMILY + SAM DISCOVERING JESS' BODY IN THE MINES..... ITS A TOTAL CONTRAST TO THIS MOMENT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME

4: once again!!! sam's being so mean!!!!!! sjfksdfb LIKE CHRIST..... adn idk abt everyone else butin the beta it really like...... nicely shows the rift in the group? like. it demonstrates the group's dynamic w/ each other veeeery well. and most of it isn't really positive dfkjgfdg its like theyre all putting up an act... which is def realistic (i see it everyday at work) but it's just..... it's sad. bc theyre meant to be an established friend group right? maybe in this version of the game they wouldve dove deeper into how the night hannah + beth disappeared rly affected everyone... sam being mean is def interesting but if they stuck w/ this sam i honestly dont think i would've gotten AS attached to her.

as i just talked about with jess / emily, its interesting seeing these moments between em and sam bc! look at how they get along and work together later in the game! it's so cool to me

5: LOVE HOW ASHLEY JUST. WHOOOSH

6: interesint insight into both hannah and beth. something i wouldn't have known playing the game we have today

7: liked how it showed the dynamic between chris and josh... also love how josh says "THANK YOU CHRIS"

8: FAVE. I LOVE YOU JESS. SOMETHING ME AND BROTHER WOULD SAY TO EACHOTHER FR also love how she says "thank you!"

9: i love jess' dumb lines so much jess riley i love you

10: he's right though. why the fuck would there be a photo of the keys just sitting there

11: I LOVE WHAT THEY DID W/ BETA EMILY SOOOOO MUCH. I LIKE HOW THEY INCLUDED MORE OF THESE MOMENTS TO SYMPATHIZE AND SHIT W/ HER..... plus it rly adds to her character and whatnot! em seems soooo much less bitchy in this version. i wonder whatmade them change :/

12: ok 1. why was matt about to tell a joke dfklgnfg i kind of want to hear it now and 2. love how em is just "you are NOT making me feel safe rn" also i rly enjoy their banter... its so much more of them actually having a conversation and talking rather than em being MEan. still wondering why thye decided to make em so mean in todays version

13: em dfkgndfg you are so ridiculous. i love emily's dumbass lines in the beta

14: wasnt expecting the minecarts to come from that way. emily almost got HIT

15: that's usually what bite marks mean yes emily<3

16: i just like how chris says that dgnkfg

17: self explanatory. id be pretty terrified too seeing a man w/ white eyes t posing at me like that

18: WHO TALKS LIKE THIS!!!! EMILY I LOVE YOU

19: I ALWAYS LOSE IT AT THE "HEE HAW!" DLKFGNKDJBG

20: i LOVE how chris sounds so much more..... scared. for josh. and how he sounds so. like just. all around scared. and the line about them leaving him out there would just be like them killing him themselves is sooo good. it's so much more than the stupid ass "im supposed to be his best friend!" bullshit. this scene is just so much better. it shows how much more chris cares

21: him mentiuoing that cartoon thing is so funny to me fdjkgdfjg

22: same thing as 20 pretty much!

there were a few things i wanted to add from chapter 4 but for whatever reason it wouldn't let me download the video ):
