Fright Night

(Closed event rp with @custodian-hue)

Outside Alto's house a tall older man is summoned from the air. His cloak flows down as he grasps a staff with an hourglass of ancient origin embedded in the center.

"It seems the ritual has been initiated. They seek a welcome challenge." With that he raised his staff and slammed it down, slowing time outside of the house to prepare it for the next several hours. As if on cue, the others arrived.

Sand piled up to form a hunched over humanoid figure, the SandMan having taken on a more horrid form from the world's sleeping problems abound.

A double rainbow landing at their feat heralded the next two as a winged woman armed with a crossbow and a smaller man exiting a pot of gold meant that Cupid herself and head leprechaun Merrygold Finnegan had arrived to add

The clopping of feet and the smell of sulfur meant that there was no holly jolly man this time, but rather his sinful counterpart, Krampus. He set down his sack and out popped a silly looking and acting woman, the embodiment of joy and mischief herself, The April Fool.

A spectre wielding a scythe descended down with a Turkey on his shoulder. Father Time smiled at the fact that The Halloween Spirit could make the time to come, and with Turkey as well.

A small sprite came fluttering down and landed on the ground, before growing rapidly into a (still short) adult man, bearing Tooth-related jewelry that complimented his Faerie wings. Right beside him a large rainbow egg grew and cracked before revealing the musclebound Easter Bunny.

"Is that seriously all of us?" The Tooth Fairy snapped, anger crossing his face at the the numbers of their group.

"Everyone else is busy this time of year," A voice from above called. Skating downwards through the air was the frosty modern snow queen herself, Jack Frost. She gave a bow as she landed, earning an eye roll from the Tooth Fairy and loving applause from the April Fool.

"No matter," Father Time spoke calmly. "What does is that we've been summoned by a group with a destructive collective mindset. They have asked for a challenge and we will show that we aren't to be underestimated." All of them turned to the house and lined up, their raw power and magic radiating off of them.

"Let this night begin."

( [ @tempest-toss ] continuing from here!)

Alto has a look of horror as Steven comes up to him and pats him on the back. "See curse-smursh that was a nice shot!" Steven says with Alto responding "Oh lord did I just kill someone?" Steven shrugs "I mean maybe? You did hit them in the neck what you'd expect from shooting someone?" Alto looks at Steven "I DIDN'T WANT TO KILL THEM I WAS HOPING TO MAYBE YOU KNOW HURT THEM NOT IN A LETHAL WAY?" Alto says his hands in the air. The brothers begin to bicker a bit.

Seasons greetings and welcome to the first annual Fright Night City!

This is a Cyberpunk 2077 Halloween themed community event which is open to all mediums and all genres. As long as your art is CP2077 (Cyberpunk/Cyberpunk Red ttrpg is okay too) related and in the spirit of Halloween, you’re welcome here and welcome to make whatever you like! I put a trick-or-treat style prompt list together to help feed the inspiration but there’s also a free space if none of them speak to you. Feel free to pick one prompt, combine them, and/or do multiple entries for the week.

I do ask that you please try and post on the day your prompt is assigned to (if you’re doing a combination plate, just pick one of the days, please do not ping me multiple days with the same entry), although nothing bad will happen if you don’t. There are no prizes or judges for this event. We’re all just here to have some good ol’ fashioned Halloween fun. Think of this like hanging out at a giant haunted corn maze with all your fandom friends. 

You do not need to be following me or this sideblog to participate. If you’d like your work to be featured on this Tumblr blog though you do need to tag me (@fright-night-city) and use the following hashtags when you post (#fright night city and/or #fright night city 2024). You're welcome to post and host your art in other places and link it here, but Tumblr's where I'm hosting this event and the only channel I will be searching for entries.

Due to the adult content and themes in Cyberpunk 2077, please be advised that some of the art featured in this event may be explicit in nature. Be respectful of each other, tag things appropriately as needed, and be aware of Tumblr’s community guidelines and terms of service. I’m not going to be policing any of this but if I catch anyone being intentionally disrespectful in general or to other participants, I will curse you and then banish you for all eternity. 

If you miss posting on the scheduled prompt date or end up posting after the event is over, no worries. You’ve got until November 30, 2024. (I'm cutting it off after that dudes because it's winter holiday season.)   

If you have any questions feel free to send me an ask or a DM! But otherwise have fun, happy hauntings, and I look forward to seeing everyone’s spooky creations!

🧡👻

“Charles?” Roland Hardin looked puzzled. Why, who knows? “I was sixteen when I ended up in his hands. He was supposed to make a real hunter out of me. Believe it or not, back then, he filled me with a truly holy awe. Those black-and-white eyes of his… And there was always something stirring at his feet, like an entire otherworld followed him around, always trying to break free. I didn’t know then what he was capable of, the fierce swarm of spirits he kept at bay. The priest who’d tamed every demon of this world — that’s what they said about him. Much later, I understood… Charles Newmark is a man with a gaping hole in his soul. A man who once lost everything — and never quite recovered from it.”

› Day 2//Something in the Water

For the @fright-night-city event

[jessequinnfirstofhername]

The Rules:

Every twenty-four hours there will be another round. After every round, the movie in last place will be eliminated.

If there are multiple movies tying for last place, there will be a special elimination round. In these rounds, every movie in last place will be eliminated, even if all the movie have tied equally.

When there are only two movie remaining, they will face off against one another in a week-long poll to determine the victor.

…and now for something completely different! Rather than voting for options that have already been chosen by me, you get to pick the options that will be included in this poll from Round Two onward. Please reply or reblog this post with the horror movie you’d like to include in this poll.

This is all for fun. Don’t take it too seriously ;)

Our first casualty is The Woman In Black (2012)

Round Three!

[softquietsteadylove]

Thena is at a tournament and the club decides to fly Gil there to just to keep an eye on Olympia in case she runs away again. Towards the end Thena spots him among the crowd

For the dressage one please 🖤🖤🖤🖤💖

Thena accepted the bouquet, waving to the crowd. It was just a formality, and one she did not enjoy. Winning competitions was why the club kept her, but she was never good at the publicity aspect of her job.

The pictures were being snapped loudly, camera flashes bombarding her eyes on the already blindingly sunny day. She tried not to squint though, having been told by Ajak and Sersi not to.

A hand waved at her from the crowd. It was one of many, but this one actually mattered.

Thena beamed, waving back a little more enthusiastically. She knew he would come.

Well, she hadn't exactly phrased it as a question when she had mentioned this particular tournament requiring travel. And she wanted him there to care for Olympia, since returning victors were allowed to bring in outside help for their horses.

Gil had readily agreed, even offered to pay for his flight, which she had assured him was not necessary. He was doing her a favour, and it would count as overtime for his work, too. And, perhaps, in the deepest recesses of her mind, it felt reassuring to have someone there who she actually knew.

She wouldn't say she was nervous for a competition ever, but the solitude could be stifling at times when it was just her and equestrian reporters and photographers. And they didn't even allow the horses to roam free while they were there!

"Thena, as the returning champion, what was your preparation for this tournament like?"

She did her best not to seem like she was scowling at the microphone shoved in her face. She also had to resist the urge to state that her method was the same for this tournament as all the others; train and aim to win.

"Olympia and I trained for the highest jumps possible," she answered carefully, remembering the media training she had received. "She's cared for exceedingly well at the club, so I'm lucky to have such a reliable partner when I'm out there."

Other riders never credited their horses properly, and it always pissed her off.

"The club must have top of the line care!"

She looked out at the stands again before leaning down to the microphone. "It's not the club. It's Gilgamesh--he works for the club, but he's the best at what he does, no matter where he is. He's the only one I entrust with my horse's care."

She could practically see him now, blushing and waving off her compliments with a modest smile.

Reporters scribbled down his name. Perhaps he would finally get even a shred of the recognition he deserved.

"Do you have any well wishes for your fellow competitors in other tournaments, Ikaris and Eros?"

"No." The crowd laughed, and she never knew why they did that. She wasn't joking. But it might get her out of here sooner.

"So, who's here with you today?"

She shifted the awkward bouquet in her arms again. The lights were becoming too much to bear. "No one."

"Don't you have a personal jockey to assist in tournaments?"

"No," she shook her head, starting to look around. She was hoping to get a glimpse of Gil again but there were too many cameras and microphones in the way. "I brought care of Olympia, but-"

"You registered yourself and a guest, it was assumed-"

"I think that's all the time I have," she smiled, attempting to be polite about needing out of the hornet's nest right that second. She clutched the flowers tighter. She didn't care if they got squished.

"Thena, wait!"

She left the winner's circle, attempting to navigate the flock by herself. She didn't remember the crowd for the last tournament being quite so claustrophobic.

"If you'll excuse us, Olympia needs tending to."

A firm but gentle hand reached in and pulled her out by the arm. She stumbled faintly but Gil made their way back to where Olympia was indeed waiting for them. She smiled, "you're a life saver."

"I get the feeling the media isn't really your thing," he chuckled, turning just so he could walk beside her outside the thickest part of the crowd. He even took the flowers for her, careful not to crush them (the way she had). "Congratulations, by the way."

"Thanks," she smiled, finally able to breathe easier now that she was walking with him. it almost felt like any other day when she could see him at the club. "And thank you, Gil, for being here."

"I'm happy to," he shrugged at her. "And seeing you compete was pretty impressive. I can see why they call you the Goddess of War."

Thena rolled her eyes, attempting to downplay the warmth building in her cheeks, "oh, stop. It's a silly nickname."

"It's a title," he corrected her with a chuckle. He opened the gate to Olympia's stall, letting her in first. "What do you think, girl?"

Olympia whinnied loudly, still full of adrenaline from their event. Her tail swished and flicked, although the braids in it for show were holding up well.

"Were you good for Gil?" Thena asked her trusty partner, whose nose bobbed excitedly in her hold. "I should hope so. Neither of us needs the embarrassment of you running off again."

Olympia's ear twitched. She didn't need to be reminded of that.

"That's what I thought," Thena murmured, although she ran her hand down Olympia's nose lovingly. Her other hand patted the laurel of flowers hung around the poor creature's neck as well. "Shall we get this off you?"

Gil did the honours, and Olympia obediently lowered her head to let him. The tournament assistants who had placed it on her had not gotten away with it so smoothly, getting nipped at by her at the time. But Gil patted her cheek, "that's better, huh? Roses aren't really your thing."

If she could, the mare would surely be rolling her eyes just like her rider.

"It's just tonight," Thena promised her, still holding her head and smoothing down her fur as Gil brushed her properly, if briefly. "We'll head home as soon as we can tomorrow."

Olympia huffed, but nudged Thena's whole upper body with her massive head. She, too, was ready to go home after all the excitement.

"Don't worry girl, I've got your dinner all prepped," Gil added, much to her delight. He chuckled as her ears perked and swivelled. "And I swiped some apples from the hotel breakfast for you."

Thena laughed faintly as well as he pulled two golden apples out of his jacket pockets. "Gil, the breakfast is free, you hardly needed to smuggle them here."

"Well, I didn't know how they felt about outside food here," he admitted, even glancing around them nervously. "But I wanted her to have a nice treat after all her hard work."

"No one would say anything to you, surely," she murmured, also looking around them. No one had better dare to say anything to him, rather. Or they would have her exchanging some words for which the club would definitely have to issue a formal apology.

"I'll come back after dinner," Gil promised as he patted Olympia's nose, moving alongside Thena to take their leave. "Bring her some oat cakes to make up for all the carbs she's burned."

Thena shook her head. The previous caretakers at the club could barely be argued into attending to Olympia just before they left club grounds right as dinner was served. Gil's devotion to going above and beyond for her horse never ceased to amaze her. "Heracles will be jealous you spoiled her like this."

"Well, that little shit can get spoiled too if he learns to behave."

Thena laughed, following Gil out of the stable. "They're holding a dinner for the victors, are you coming?"

"Oh," he blushed, squeezing her roses faintly, "I-I was just gonna get the hotel buffet again-"

"Nonsense," Thena discouraged. She pulled at her hair to release it from its painfully tight bun. "I invited you here, the least I can do is see to it that you get a proper meal out of it."

She didn't have to request he come with her. But in truth, she had wanted a familiar face when she was facing one of the biggest tournaments of her career. She had wanted his smile, and his familiar face, and his wave to be here.

The least she could do was take him to dinner.

Welcome to the Fight Night Bash Writing Collab!

With the spooky season quickly on the approach, it's about time we all start thinking about how scared and horny we're going to be this year - one way we can do that is a Writing Collab!

If you're interesting in joining, take a look at the Rules and Regulations below;

Entrant's must be over 18 years old - due to the nature of the event and the content surrounding it (nsfw, dark content, etc), it keeps everyone safe.

Fandoms that can be included are My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Demon Slayer (However fics can be for any character from any fandom.)

There can be double-ups of characters. You can write more than one fic (however there is no pressure to do so). This isn't just meant as a 'Halloween event' - if you've had a fic that follows this theme, now is your chance to finish it!

Fic are categorized by three tiers; Spooky (SFW Halloween themed fics), Scary (NSFW fics), and Skeletons (Full-fledged Horror and NSFW). All these can have horror elements in them, just at varying degrees. This helps keep everything organized - when you come to me with your fic idea you must tell me which category it fits into (this can change, so don't worry if the plot changes by the time you're finished writing). If you have any questions just ask.

There is no minimum OR maximum word count - a few hundred word drabbles are just as welcome as 10k works.

There will be a Discord open, and if you'd like to join please ask (I made it specially so we can all help motivate each other) - this process will go smoother if you already know me, or one of the mods.

This will be a collab with potentially triggering content (both with the horror element, and certain kinks) - it's not for the faint of heart, so please think it through before joining. Despite everything, at it's core this is meant to be fun!

If you would like to join, send me a DM with the character you'd like to write for - and don't forget to send in your fic (and tag 'Fright Night Bash 2023') after it's posted so it can be linked below!

(And remember, this is a event that WILL have Dark AND NSFW Content - so everyone who joins up must be over 18 years old.)

So is Aphelios genuinely not getting a skin this year or

[thesherwoodadventures]

What an amazing trip to Thorpe Park Fright Nights we had yesterday!

We managed to get majority of rides, all 4 scare mazes and scare zones done. We even managed a night ride on Stealth and of course Hyperia!

3 of us went into the scare mazes. Returning were Stitches, Trailers and Survival Games and then a brand new one for 2024 Dead Beat. We all agreed that Survival Games was definitely the best this year so much so we went in a few times! Personally I thought Dead Beat wasn’t as good as others had said but we still enjoyed it.

For scare zones…. Still hands down the crows win! Still my favourite scare zone Thorpe park has to offer

All in all a great trip

"The Haunting of House Hill"

My coloring of @egyptian-sun-god's Green With Envy gore entry!

THIS IS HOW 917 MAPLE STREET SHOULD HAVE LOOKED IN THE FRIGHT NIGHT SPECIAL. The boy is a GHOST. He should be able to win a haunted house competition if he wants to.

AS A TREAT.

I fully recommend checking it out in its full-size glory here.

Treat it like a game of I-Spy. There are hidden details everywhere proving just how insane I am. Some of them can't even be seen unless its full-size. LOL.

Thank you soooo much @ovytia-art for drawing 90% of the background for me sal;fkjasodfkads. Coloring it was such a treat!

As a Mod, I don't get points for this. Not an official entry. :)
