hiii! can i get some spooky halloween prompts? anything goes: supernatural, terror, costume party... thanks!

Sure thing! Normally I would have done these last since I do requests in order but since they’re Halloween themed I decided to do them first just in case I’m not done with the prompts in my inbox by the end of the month or something.

Dialogue Prompts

1) "Hey, I got us invited to a costume party but we've got to bring a live animal for some reason." "Were you invited by someone who sacrifices animals?" "You know, they mentioned something about a sacrifice but I just thought they misspoke and meant to say sack of ice." "Yeah, we're not going to that." 2) "Hey, I accidentally joined a cult again, can you come pick me up?" 3) "Were you making out with Person A?" "It was just heat of the moment!" "We thought we were going to die when you chased us around with that fake chainsaw!" "Does Person B know about this?" "DO NOT TELL THEM." "Oh...I'm gonna." 4) "Grab a shovel, idiot, we've got to raise another person from the dead." "Ugh, again? Didn't we just raise someone else?" "Yeah, and now another person is dead so we have to do it again." 5) "Great. I'm alone. I'm alone in the fucking woods dressed like this. I'm gonna get murdered. I am. I'm gonna get murdered because Person A doesn't know how to follow simple fucking directions. It's great. Perfect, just where I wanted to be." "Are you talking to yourself?" "Jesus fucking Christ! Don't sneak up on me like that. God! Should put a fucking bell on you!" "I've been behind you the whole time." 6) "Sun comes up in two hours, we have to go back home." "I don't want to be a creature of the night like you." "Yeah, well, no one asks to be but you are. And it's either hide or burn." 7) "Hey, my shithead relative's in town so we're taking their things and burying them in the woods, wanna come?" "Wont they notice things are gone?" "Yeah, but they think my house is haunted so it's fine." 8) "Person A?" "What? Did you hear another noise?" "There's someone watching us over there." "Get in the car. Quickly, quickly!" 9) "You absolutely cannot wear that costume." "Why? Cause I look fucking sexy as hell in it while you're dressed like some furry?" "First of all, I'm not dressed like some furry. I'm dressed like the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland. You know that. And Second of all, it's a Halloween themed birthday party for CHILDREN. No, you can't wear your sexy BDSM catsuit. We're going to celebrate a birthday not get hit on by single mothers/fathers." "Maybe you're going to celebrate a birthday. I'm looking to get some phone numbers." "Change." "God you're a buzzkill. Fine!" 10) "Oh my god, there's the killer!" "You know, they're looking kinda sexy in this lighting." "They've murdered six people." "Maybe I should ask if they're up for destroying my-" "Stop talking!" 11) "Oh no, I sure hope no murderers are out there looking for me, Person A, a sexy and single person who likes long walks on the beach and having a good time with fun, adventurous, sexy singles in my area!" "God. Can you just act like a normal person for five fucking minutes, please? Please? I am literally begging you." "What? I just want to let everyone know I'm not afraid of a little danger!" "People are dead, Person A." 12) "You're holding my hand." "I just don't want to get lost in the woods at night." "You keep squeezing it tighter when you hear a scary noise." "Okay, so I'm scared. What? You going to call me a chicken?" "No. I think it's cute when you hold onto me tighter." 13) "You look like you're going to vomit." "I am, I'm incredibly sick. I was gonna go home, but Person A showed up and they hate me so I swallowed a handful of blood capsules so when I throw up it looks like blood." "Why would you do that?" "Because I hate Person A and want to scare them." "But what if they don't care." "Then they look heartless in front of everyone. Basically a win for me." 14) "How'd swallowing blood capsules go?" "Turns out they're super toxic and I had to go to the hospital immediately. But I did find out that Person A doesn't hate me, they're actually in love with me but didn't know how to express that because they're bad at expressing feelings. So we're dating now." "Jesus Christ, I can't believe that's the story you're going to have to tell your future kids." 15) "Don't panic, but I have a knife in my chest." "You what?" "I fell when I was carving a pumpkin and ended up stabbing myself in the chest with a knife. I'm fine though." "You're not fine, you stabbed yourself." "I'm fine, I'm driving myself to the hospital right now." "You're driving?!?!" 16) "What are you going to be for Halloween, Person A?" "Myself." "That's a horrible costume, it'll never win the contest. Go as a dog." "Sound's like Person A already is!" "Fuck you, Person B!" 17) "Person A got hammered and threw up in a child's Halloween bucket." "That's okay, they said trick or treat. Not everyone can be lucky enough to get a treat. It's about time kids started receiving some tricks." "I'll go give them the rest of the candy bowl and apologize. You keep A here." 18) "HEY! DID YOU FUCKING BUY THESE WAX CUBES THAT SMELL LIKE CANDY CORN?!" "Yeah." "Don't you EVER buy these again. Person A just ate seven before I read the packaging." "Why didn't Person A read the package? They're a grown ass person and it fucking says wax cubes on the front of the package." "They're a dumbass, Person B! You know you can't leave inedible things that smell like foods around them. Remember what happened with the scented erasers?" "Yeah, that was a weird hospital visit." 19) "Why would you want to go on a hay ride when you can ride me right now?" "Never been disappointed on a fucking hay ride." 20) "Switch costumes with me. Person A and I accidentally ended up matching and if they notice and point it out to everyone and call us twins I might end up killing someone." "Person B, is that you?" "Oh fuck me..." "Person B!" "I have to go, distract them so I can get away!"

Regular Prompts

1) A and B are invited to a party thrown by someone they work with, Person C, but don't know them that well. They get there early and it's just them and Person C tells them to help themselves to food while they fix something outside. A opens the freezer and panics when they find a severed head. It looks real and A and B decide they need to leave. Just as they're about to leave the power goes out. 2) A's in an unhappy relationship with Person B. Instead of going to a party with their friends like A wants to do B insists they play with the new ouja board they got. A doesn't want to but B complains until A gives in. They accidentally summon a demon and while B leaves them behind, the demon, Person C, insists that B was a piece of shit anyway. A and C form an unlikely friendship and when A finds a way to bring C into their world permanentally the two decide to live together and C helps A get out of their relationship. The two then get together after getting to know each other and A discovers dating demons is way better than humans. 3) A and B are close friends who almost kiss but then it's interrupted when vampires show up and start terrorizing the town. The two begin a hunting spree with a few friends to take down all the vampires and the experience makes their friendship stronger and the two share a first kiss after they take down the last vampire together. 4) A and B are at C's house for a party, someone they've known their whole life. They realize halfway through the party that the locked basement they've never been in is unlocked. They decide to go down to see what's down there but immediately regret it when they turn the light on and find C surrounded by bodies and their hands and mouth covered in blood as they tell both of them they can explain everything. 5) A group of friends sneak into the park during Halloween even though it's closed and discover that the public bathroom has a body and the whole place is covered in blood. They decide to leave and call someone but they don't get a signal and now five people in dark cloaks are chasing them with knives. 6) A and B are known for being unscareable since nothing's ever made them scream out of fear. Their friends try to scare them throughout the whole day but they're unable to. The go to visit A's grandparents in the nursing home after A's parents insist. But when they go there they walk into the wrong room and find two old people doing it and A and B, along with the rest of their friends, scream in horror before closing the door. Unable to look at another old person they visit A's grandparents, but don't make eye contact and none of the friends make fun of them for it. They all just go trick-or-treating and agree to never speak of it again. They all forget about it until the next Halloween when they're sitting around watching TV and A's parents walk in telling A to go visit their grandparents. The group of friends simultaneously scream NO in horror and the story ends with them all shuddering at the memory. 7) A is unscareable so their friends hire someone to fake a news broadcast and pretend to be a murderer loose in their area. A isn't scared but when the fake murderer walks by and A sees them through the windows they all pretend not to believe A because A's a known prankster. A sees them more and more around the house with a knife but it isn't until A turns around and the pretend murderer is right behind them in the house that they scream. Everyone either records it or takes pictures before admitting to A it's just a prank. (Bonus if A already knew about the prank and hired the fake murderer to pretend to be murdered by someone A knows who actually just got out of prison. No one gets hurt but A definitely gets back at the others for trying to scare them.) 8) A group of friends find a giant pumpkin in the woods and when they find it has a door only Person A is brave enough to go inside. The door closes behind them and disappears and when someone comes towards the pumpkin they don't know they explain their friend is stuck inside. The person explains that the pumpkin is actually a carnivorous plant that digests the people who walk in on Halloween and that it can eat twenty people at a time. Before they can get worried or call someone Person A bursts out the side of the pumpkin carrying two kids and telling the others to come help the rest of the people inside. The others are still shaken from being inside but A tells the others they're going to need a chainsaw and a truck. A ends up saving more people and making sure it's empty before the friends help them make pumpkin pies for the entire town. A ends up getting a first place ribbon at a pie contest they didn't enter and the friends are hailed as town heroes. 9) A group of friends go camping and ask Person A and Person B to go find Person C, who's near the road and doesn't know where everyone else is. The two hate each other and end up getting into a heated argument where they end up wandering around and getting lost. Unable to get a signal on their phones or figure out how to use a compass they end up getting more lost and end up seeing someone watching them. The two are terrified and run away. The stranger chases after them and soon more people pop out of nowhere, terrifying them as they run around. When they finally see a light they run towards it and find out they walked all the way across town where the community had set up a haunted house in the woods for people to walk into. The two end up hating each other less but agree they're never going camping again. They end up getting a cab and just decide to get Person A's car and go to a restaurant for food. 10) Person A and B are dating when Person A gets their head stuck in a fake pumpkin and B has to call the fire department. A laughs at their situation and B just stands by, completely embarrassed by their significant other.

sorry for barrelling into your inbox to complain about jiang cheng again but it's genuinely so annoying how many people treat his constant verbal abuse towards wwx as a fun quirk or Just JC Being JC. i know siblings can be vitriolic, but jc blaming wwx for his family's deaths, knowing full well it isn't true and wwx already hates himself for it? jc calling wwx a selfish brat who doesn't face consequences after knowing what wwx suffered? not cute. no reason why wwx should let that disrespect fly

like will he get angry, will he flip out because I have done this commendable courageous thing? Oh no, I should find a way to praise him for taking a long hike in the woods too like it's the same thing so he doesn't feel left out. The contrast with other brother pairs is glaring (like I can picture cases when they separate for the public image of the sect, but there still would be no bad blood between them and they'll get assistance) I'm fully converted to your JC is a bad brother agenda, 2/5

even though frankly I don't think that JC ever saw WWX as his brother. Brother like subordinate, yeah, but his brother, nah, WWX isn't adopted and JC never calls him anything approaching brother or even martial brother. Now I have to ask for your top 3 worst scene where JC lets someone down! Can also be a top 5, top 10 or a full ranking lol :p For real, I was mostly meuh about JC but followed a stan a while back and realized that the whole process of writing meta about JC is literally just 3/5

about trying to justify, explain away or dismiss his actions because during the *entirety* of the story, he didn't do or say a single thing that could be seen in a good light... Not without mellowing his character without canon support, giving him the moral skills of a toddler (ongoing genocide or my feelings, what is most important?) or whataboutisms about other people or situations - like even his fans aren't proud of his actions. That or trying to shift blame on WWX by making his golden 4/5

core sacrifice a wrongdoing or an imposition on JC that WWX should be grateful that JC accepts or ever deigns to forgive him about because JC would have be 100% ok on his own... He would not, he was letting himself die of hunger and lack of sleep in enemy territory, and his incapacity of letting go of things trumps that of LWJ or even WWX who lost 3 families and was turned on by everyone in the cultivation world lol. He can be angry about if of, but not seeing it as a sacrifice on WWX part ?!5/5

So much of JC meta (from what I’ve seen on my dash, I don’t go looking for it because fuck that) is fixated on “He saved WWX from the Wens that one time! It was a huge sacrifice! Everything else he did doesn’t matter because he did a good thing this one time!” ...Okay, I’m exaggerating, but it is like... that is one of two good things JC does. He asks his mother not to whip WWX and cut his hand off (which, wow, what a fucking saint, we should give him a fucking medal for not wanting his brother to be mutilated) and he gets the Wens away from WWX. And, guess what? After he gets the Wens away from WWX and faces serious consequences for doing so, he never goes out of his way to help WWX again. In fact, he makes the situation worse for WWX more often than not. I genuinely think that JC realized helping WWX could hurt him in this new life they’d found themselves in and immediately decided he wasn’t worth the effort.

And yeah, WWX spent most of his childhood having to flinch away from any impressive feat he performed, downplay his genius and cultivation talent (or play it up to ludicrous levels so it could be passed off as a joke), out of fear for how YZY and JC would react. Thinking about it, I wonder if that’s why his reaction to LWJ praising him in a way he can’t laugh off or wave away is so... dramatic. He clearly took pride in how good he was at pretty much everything, and rightly so, but I imagine it was always soured slightly by how JC would complain about it, as if it was WWX’s fault that he was in fact brilliant and JC was... not. WWX’s always effusive in praise for JC because if he isn’t, if he doesn’t act like their actions are equal, JC will throw even more of a tantrum about it. And he’ll still throw a tantrum because he doesn’t want to be pitied, except if WWX doesn’t give him that “pity” he’ll be in even more trouble for “showing off”, and... WWX can never win with JC.

And the whole thing with the golden core! It is such bullshit. “He didn’t get consent!” And how, exactly, was he supposed to do that when JC was openly letting himself die and refusing to speak to him?! WWX had to trick him because it was the only way to get JC to so much as listen to him. And, let’s face it, even if WWX had managed to actually discuss it with JC the result would’ve been the same. JC would’ve yelled and screamed about how it was all WWX’s fault that the Jiangs died and that JC lost his golden core and WWX would’ve still given his golden core to JC except with a side order of nonstop guilting over “letting” this whole situation unfold. At most discussing the matter with JC beforehand would mean JC wouldn’t get pissy about WWX not training the disciples (he’d find something else to be a dick about instead! And probably get pissy about him not teaching the disciples demonic cultivation). ...Also there’s a good chance they’d both get immediately captured by the Wens because they were hanging out at the foot of the mountain and JC wouldn’t be able to fight them off, but that’s not the point right now. Also, acting like it’s an imposition that JC got an insanely powerful golden core for free is just... ugh. Oh, pity him, pity him, he’s now got one of the strongest cores of his generation because his brother loved him enough to sacrifice his own! So sad, so hard for the poor boy! I mean, it’s not like JC cares that WWX lost everything so that JC could have a golden core. If he cared about that sort of thing he wouldn’t have stabbed WWX in the gut and called him a traitor to the sects when WWX suggested they stage a fight. I know the whole getting captured by the Wens and having his core removed business must have... sucked. A lot. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to feel bad for him for getting WWX’s golden core.

(On a related note, people acting like JC not telling WWX he got captured leading the Wens away from WWX is some sort of great deed is kinda... Well. Yeah, on this one, singular occasion JC didn’t guilt his brother over something that wasn’t at all his fault! What a great guy!)

Anyway, the only part of the golden core transfer that JC seems at all upset about is that now he’s conflicted about leading an army to slaughter WWX and the innocent civilians under his protection, which really he should’ve already been conflicted about at the very least, so I really don’t see why people act like he’s the victim in the whole situation.

flicker of the heart [4/?]

an part 4 is here!! previous parts can be found in the tag flickeroftheheartfic or on AO3 I’m so glad everyone is enjoying this so much and this is just a reminder that my inbox is also open for requests so please send some in! Yes, Hosea and Dutch have open relationships and no you cannot change my mind.

Tagging @myfavmarvel hope you enjoy!!

The rain lashes down heavy that night, battering against the window of the abandoned cottage that Dutch had led all of you to until the storm eases up.

You glare at the dim fire in front of you, throwing in another log as Copper lets out another whine as the wind howls through the gaps in the old building. It was a surprise that the dog was sitting next to you, it was so rare that he ever left Arthur’s side – but you wouldn’t want to be near Arthur either, not with the mood that he’s in.

You were in quite the mood yourself. You had been looking forward to spending more time with George, but you had been dragged up here the moment you had stepped foot into camp, tents already folded up by Grimshaw and everything neatly stacked into the remaining wagons. In a small cramped cabin like this, there was no way you would be able to sneak out for a few hours to see George.

Another part of your foul mood was Arthur, he had not spoken to you the whole ride back to camp nor had he spoken on the journey to the cabin. You couldn’t figure it out, you refused to believe it was jealousy – it just sounded so ridiculous that you had dismissed the thought almost as quickly as it came. You were frustrated because it made no sense why he was acting like this, you had been supportive throughout his relationship with Mary, so you couldn’t wrap your head around his mood swings.

You had thought it might be some sort of brotherly concern, but then you thought that John would share those same concerns and while he was wary of George – for good reason, people like you always have to be wary around new people – he was never outright rude to the man like Arthur had been.

You were going to have to talk to him – as pissed off as you were – because you weren’t sure how much time you would have left with George before you all moved camp again and you didn’t want Arthur to ruin what little time you had left with him.

It shouldn’t be too hard to speak to him, considering that the two of you had ended up with cots on opposite sides of the same room. Dutch, Hosea and their partners had taken the big room upstairs for reasons you thought were better left unheard, the other big room had gone to Ms Grimshaw and Uncle, the latter of whom had seemingly appeared out of nowhere the last few months and had taken up camp with the gang. The downstairs region consisted of two rooms, one of which was taken by the two new boys, Mac and Davey Calendar, whom Dutch had picked up from one of the towns near here. John had taken one look at both you and Arthur and had decided that he didn’t want to put up with either of your sour moods for the night and opted to share with the brothers.

You were currently waiting for him to return with Hosea, they had gone out to get more firewood before the rain got too bad but from the looks of things, they would be returning shortly. Bessie was handing out blankets to everyone and came to sit next to you, giving Copper’s head a scratch as she did so.

“They should be back soon,” she laments as she continues to pet Copper, her fingers carding through his ginger fur. You simply hum in agreement, eyes still focused on the fire. You could feel Bessie staring at you, but you chose to ignore it, not quite willing to explain things you didn’t rightly understand yourself.

“You and Arthur are both in some moods today, anything to do with the new man you’ve been seeing?” That catches your attention, you whip around to face her, eyes wide with surprise as Bessie laughs at you gently. “Don’t worry dear, Dutch and Hosea are none the wiser – which is probably a good thing, poor boy wouldn’t stand a chance if they found out he’d had his hands on you. But you don’t think I’m as obtuse as those two when it comes to your coming and goings in camp, do you?”

You blink at her dumbly once more, before letting out a quiet chuckle and shaking your head, “I guess not.”

“Care to explain?” She gently probed, eyes curious. You huffed, knowing Bessie that look meant that she wasn’t leaving until she had some sort of information out of you – she’d been with Hosea too long, you thought, starting to pick up on some of his dirty tricks.

“I’m not sure I can,” you huff leaning back on your elbows, “not rightly sure what happened. But Arthur was rude, and I can’t figure out why he’d be like that.”

“Maybe he was jealous.”

You huff out a laugh at that, “Arthur doesn’t see me like that and that’s a fact I know good and well.”

Bessie’s eyebrows perk as she spares you another glance, “sometimes it takes seeing someone with another person to make them realise what’s been right in front of them.”

You frown, the meaning of her statement going over your head. You’re about to question what she means when the door swings open and the chill of the wind sweeps through the small room, sending shivers up your spine as Arthur and Hosea drag in the wood they found. The door swings shut with a loud bang as Hosea makes his way towards the fire for warmth. Arthur catches sight of you sitting by it and decides to keep himself stationed by the door.

You roll your eyes at his antics and move over to your cot, flopping yourself down on it. As you predicted Arthur moves towards the fire as soon as you move away from it, shrugging off his soaked jacket in the process. It seemed that you were going to have to be the one to start the conversation.

Hosea looks as if he was about to say something, but a look from Bessie and he seemed to think better of it. He looks between the two of you and sighs, probably having picked up on something from being out with Arthur, he stands, stretching his limbs before extending a hand to his wife. Copper lift his head and trots off somewhere, probably to see if he can get any treats from John.

“Well, we’re off upstairs before the other two start missing us. Good night kids,” he said with a nod at both of you before they both made themselves scarce. You always knew Dutch and Hosea had something between them but you never quite figured out how the women fitted into it, everyone seemed happy though and by those standards, you were fine with it.

Though your anger somewhat disappeared in the time Arthur had been out, watch him sit by the fire not even looking at you made it fester back up. You had understood him being upset at spending time away from him, but you had apologised and promised to make up for it – so it couldn’t be anything to do with that. He had no right to be angry at you for trying to be happy, all you had done for all these years was try and help him find his happiness, why couldn’t he do the same for you?

“You going tell me what I’ve done wrong or are you going to sit there and sulk all night?” You snap, sitting upright in your cot as you wait for his answer. He turns to you ever so slightly and you can see the tension in his jaw, but he still says nothing.

You wait some more, wondering if he was going to defend his mood or just leave you there wondering. It’s infuriating, the one time you try to move on from him and he goes and turns it all to shit. Typical.

“Well?” You question but are yet again met with more silence. Your anger increases, you cross the room until you are standing in front of him, hands on your hips as he finally glances up to look at you. His blue eyes are like steel, unreadable as he lets out a long breath and pinches the bridge of his nose. You’re desperate to know what the hell he’s thinking.

“I didn’t like it,” he confesses, eyes cast back down to his feet. You blink once, twice and wonder what the hell kind of response that was.

“You didn’t like it,” you repeat, trying not to get angry again because at least he was finally saying something. Your nose scrunches up as you glance back down at him, still seated on the bench in front of the fire. “Why?”

At first, he only shrugs, but a quick glance up at you tells you that a shrug isn’t the answer you were looking for. He sighs and shifts his feet, “I didn’t like seeing you with someone else. I –“ he frowns, as if searching for the right thing to say, “I didn’t like him.”

You move away from in front of him, he was so frustrating – only giving half answers that you couldn’t make sense of. “You don’t even know him,” you are desperate to yell but too keenly aware of the small cabin and the nosy people who live in it. “You didn’t even give him a chance, you just took one look at him and decided you didn’t like him – “

In a flash, Arthur is in front of you, nostrils flaring, and it takes you back to realise he’s angry, what on earth did he have to be angry about?

“Yes!” He also keeps his voice low, but his whisper comes through gritted teeth, “one look at him with his arms around you and I wanted to rip his goddamn head off.”

The words don’t process for you, because you cannot, will not, believe that Arthur felt any kind of jealousy towards you and George without hearing the words with your own ears. You’ve spent too long getting your hopes up only to have them crushed again. You refuse to believe it. He’s standing close, so close that you can feel his warm breath fan across your face when he speaks.

You tilt your head up, your own eyes meeting with his. They are no longer steel, they now are the ocean, waves crashing violently against the sand as his chest heaves with his own anger.

“What are you trying to say, Arthur?”

Thunder crashes outside the window, illuminating the room with its bright light. At the same time, Arthur crashes his lips onto yours.
