#fan trials of habit

[hiddenobservationsplat]

YOUCH THIS ONE IS GRIM :) THIS CAME FROM OUR WONDERFUL MELANIE! DECIDED TO JOIN THE FAN FAVORITE ZACHARY IN HIS FOOTSTEPS

[jester-lover]

Habit with an S/O who isn’t afraid of him and finds him funny

Warnings: Fluff, mentions of violence, habit being habit

He is so confused istg

He is literally an eldritch monstrosity beyond your understanding

and you’re just, chill with it

“I could literally end you any second now.”

cue you, giggling and slapping his shoulder like you’re chatting with an old friend

Yes, he’s interested

He’ll probably keep you in a house, close eye on you at all times

He sharpens his knives around you, trying to get even a little rise out of you, but it doesn't work

 At some point, whenever he begins having a romantic attraction to you, he just sorta starts moping

“What the hell is wrong with you why aren’t you scared of me?”

Homie is crying screaming throwing up

that is until he figures out the benefits of a person who isn’t afraid of him

Hugs??? Even when he’s covered in blood??

Forehead Kisses??? Before he goes out to destroy his enemies???

Cuddles?? Late at night?? Even though he doesn’t sleep???

He slowly begins to appreciate your nature

And he returns your affection!

(Vinny is terrified.)

THE TIME HAS COME, MY CHILDREN.

RIGHT NOW, I SEE YOU AS YOU ARE: HELPLESS AND SMALL. WEAK. PITIFUL. FAITHLESS. THERE IS SOMETHING FESTERING INSIDE YOU, A LONGING WHICH YOU CANNOT QUITE TOUCH. A FEAR YOU CANNOT HIDE FROM ANYMORE. THESE ARE WEAKNESSES. THOUGH, IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY.

HERE, I OFFER YOU THE TOOLS IN WHICH YOU CAN BE RID OF WHAT NO LONGER SERVES YOU. IN WHICH YOU CAN BECOME SO MUCH MORE THAN YOU ARE IN THIS MOMENT. I OFFER YOU A GAME, TRIALS, DESIGNED TO PUSH YOU TO YOUR LIMITS. TO BREAK YOU AND MAKE YOU UP AGAIN, STRONGER.

ARE YOU MAN, OR ANGEL?

I’LL PROVIDE YOU SALVATION, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PROVE TO ME YOU DESERVE IT. THE CHOICE IS IN YOUR HANDS NOW. SPACE IS FINITE, SO ACT SOON. FILL OUT THE APPLICATION BELOW, AND WAIT PATIENTLY FOR WORD BACK.

I HOPE TO SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE.

Initializing... Connection stable. Beginning transmission... ...

Good evening, future Subjects.

Are you someone who doesn't know what to do with your life? Have you always felt useless? Do you want to do something worthwhile? Give your life to science?

Well, what if I told you now you can?

PROJECT: ASCENSION is now open to the public for review... It aims to give the world a better future. Will you be part of it with us? We would love to have you here.

Hey there! My name is GREGOR! I'm the runner for Project: Ascension, a new roleplay-based 18+ fantrials being developed by a small army of veteran trial runners and roleplayers set in a slightly alternate sci-fi world inspired by the SCP Foundation and Project Moon, with completely original entities and a fully functional ttrpg system!

We're now open and ready to take questions and slowly tredging closer to opening! Follow for updates! :)

Looking for an 18+ trial discord server. Is anyone hosting one? It doesn’t have to be ran by habit, just kind of the same idea of a trial server? Or really any kind of rp server that isn’t 100% censored. Like some stuff can be but not alcohol, drugs, gore, etc. I just don’t want to join a server that makes me black out every time my character mentions drinking alcohol. Nsfw stuff can be censored or not in the trial at all. I also don’t care if there is nsfw stuff, I’m okay with it.

My discord is enviousrider

Or you can message me on here with information too.

[heisguilty]

trying to post more so here’s another drawing of habit :3

time taken : about three hours excluding breaks

program used : ibispaint x (freee version)

(dont mind the wonk shading i was experimenting w/ my style T-T)

[theinv7tation]

MISERABLE AND ALONE? WANDERING AIMLESSLY THROUGHOUT LIFE, DISCONNECTED FROM THE WORLD, LACKING ANY SENSE OF DIRECTION OR PURPOSE? CHIN UP, JUNIOR. SO IS EVERYONE ELSE.

THERE'S A PLACE, THOUGH, FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU. ROSE ISLAND. CHURCH-ESTABLISHED, LOCALLY RUN. A LITTLE WILDERNESS THERAPY NEVER HURT ANYONE: YOU CAN FIND YOURSELF, MAYBE FIND GOD, IF THAT SUITS YOU.

THERE'S ONLY ONE RULE. MY WORD IS LAW.

INTRODUCE YOURSELF HERE: INTAKE FORM. SEND AN ASK ONCE YOU'VE COMPLETED IT, OFF ANON.

[ actively-run emh fan trials. currently have not started officially, pre-trials in the making to tide you over until we have enough players to start. participants must be 15+ and all characters must be 18+. ]

[ this blog has been reset to advertise these trials. ]

The Hulk! (1978) #14

[stelladellutto]

LOTS OF THINGS GOING ON LATELY, ITS ALMOST TOO MUCH TO KEEP TRACK OF! BUT, I DO ANYHOW; THE MOST IMPORTANT DETAILS BEING…

RABBIT #094 WAS ELIMINATED, BEFORE TRIALS EVEN HAD EVEN BEGUN, FOR VIOLATION OF MY “NO OUTSIDE HELP” RULE.

AND, VERY EARLY THIS MORNING, THE SURVIVING RABBITS WERE GIVEN A PRETRIAL TO COMPLETE WITHIN 5 DAYS. THINK OF IT LIKE A TEST RUN! MANY HAVE ALREADY COMPLETED IT.

THERES NEVER A DULL DAY. :)

Their sleeping habits/ How they sleep with you

Adam

He is a heavy sleeper who absolutely sleeps through everything without questions. He has seen and experienced everything, so nothing disturbs him.

He has 14 alarms set to wake him up because he won't wake up any other way. He really struggles to even wake up with the 14 alarms, but if you coax him awake, he is good.

You two must be touching, with his arm wrapped around you or your legs intertwined. He doesn't really care; he just needs to know you are there with him.

He has a whole night routine with you. While you get ready for bed, he dims the lights and gets out the wing grooming kit. He really likes to let you work on his wings to unwind.

Once all is well, he will pull you close, and you two will talk about your days softly and mentally check in with one another. As you drift off, he will turn off the lights and fall asleep himself.

He may be the world's first dick, but he is also a soft, caring man when it comes to you. He fucked up twice already. He is eager to atone for everything by giving you his all.

Alastor

He doesn't sleep often, and when he does, he is such a light sleeper that the slightest noise or feeling will have him bolted up, ready to flee or fight.

He only has one alarm, and that is all. However, his internal clock tells him when it is time to be up and moving around on the rare occasions he slept that night.

He isn't a fan of cuddling; he finds it too hot, sticky, and overwhelming. However, he occasionally indulges to see you happy and excited.

He is content with you two sleeping on your separate sides of the bed, and just feeling the dip of your side lets him feel comforted and reassured he isn't alone.

Due to not sleeping much, he likes to mostly help you with your night routine, from pulling your PJs out for you to brushing your hair and reading to you.

He sees rest as a time to wind down and relax, so he won't bother you with the trials of your day this close to bed. Instead, he turns on some smooth jazz and hums for you.

His favorite thing to do is gently caress your hair once you are fully asleep and stroke your face. He is happy with the knowledge that you let your full guard down around him as he does you.

Lucifer

Lucifer is a heavy sleeper; he has been depressed for years, and he has mastered the art of sleeping through a lot of things just cause he is too sad to care.

He only has 4 alarms all with varying labels of severity, typically depending on which one he actually gets up too is the one that will tell you how his day is gonna go.

He is a complete cuddler and will hold you captive in bed, no questions asked. He will wake up completely if he does not have you wrapped up in his arms, where he knows you are safe.

His whole routine is about bonding and being close to one another in the safety of your bedroom. He draws a bath/shower, massages, soft talks, and a white noise machine.

He liked to wrap you up in his arms and wings, thinking it gave him extra security that you would not just up and leave him randomly like Lilith did.

He loves matching PJs cause it is a cute way to wake up and remember his world didn't end all those years ago when Lilith walked out on him and Charlie.

Husk

He is a regular sleeper, not heavy or light, and it truly depends on the alcohol content the night before and if Alastor is lurking nearby or not.

He has 2 alarms. They are thirty minutes apart from one another, so that way, he knows that he has successfully pissed Alastor off. Yet you manage to help him avoid getting his contract held over him quite often.

He likes to have an arm lazily wrapped around you while he spoons you. He is afraid you will see him how he sees himself when he is so vulnerable, so he likes to be the one holding you.

Night routine-wise, you spend a lot of time pampering him since he refuses to care more than a little about himself. You make sure his fur is well groomed, his wings are preened, and his side of the bed is perfectly acclimated for him.

He likes to talk about the future with you. It's not too crazy or fast-paced unless you want to go that far, but he likes how you entered his life and gave him something to hope for.

He likes to wrap his tail around your leg and inhale your scent as you two fall asleep. He can never fully comprehend how he landed someone so perfect in his life.

Vox

He is a light sleeper. Having dealt with Alastors' onslaught of attacks before he joined the Vees and being one of the trio's powerhouses, he is afraid of being attacked.

He doesn't use an alarm; he wakes up when the sun does and goes to bed when his body is ready to sleep. Really, he is the best at sleeping out of everyone.

He likes to sleep on his back with your head nestled on his chest. With the widescreen, it is tough for him to rest on his side to hold you.

A night routine involves many soft domestic things you wouldn't expect from Vox. He likes to help you undress, shower, put on your pajamas, and tuck you into bed before he even considers caring for himself.

He likes to watch TV shows with you to wind down, so he will turn on the best hits or even find old shows he watched long ago for you two to bond over and invest in.

Once you are sound asleep, he will power down for the night and sit in sleep mode. He likes to stay alert, though, in case any danger may come your way.

Libraries have traditionally operated on a basic premise: Once they purchase a book, they can lend it out to patrons as much (or as little) as they like. Library copies often come from publishers, but they can also come from donations, used book sales, or other libraries. However the library obtains the book, once the library legally owns it, it is theirs to lend as they see fit.  Not so for digital books. To make licensed e-books available to patrons, libraries have to pay publishers multiple times over. First, they must subscribe (for a fee) to aggregator platforms such as Overdrive. Aggregators, like streaming services such as HBO’s Max, have total control over adding or removing content from their catalogue. Content can be removed at any time, for any reason, without input from your local library. The decision happens not at the community level but at the corporate one, thousands of miles from the patrons affected.  Then libraries must purchase each individual copy of each individual title that they want to offer as an e-book. These e-book copies are not only priced at a steep markup—up to 300% over consumer retail—but are also time- and loan-limited, meaning the files self-destruct after a certain number of loans. The library then needs to repurchase the same book, at a new price, in order to keep it in stock.  This upending of the traditional order puts massive financial strain on libraries and the taxpayers that fund them. It also opens up a world of privacy concerns; while libraries are restricted in the reader data they can collect and share, private companies are under no such obligation. Some libraries have turned to another solution: controlled digital lending, or CDL, a process by which a library scans the physical books it already has in its collection, makes secure digital copies, and lends those out on a one-to-one “owned to loaned” ratio.  The Internet Archive was an early pioneer of this technique. When the digital copy is loaned, the physical copy is sequestered from borrowing; when the physical copy is checked out, the digital copy becomes unavailable. The benefits to libraries are obvious; delicate books can be circulated without fear of damage, volumes can be moved off-site for facilities work without interrupting patron access, and older and endangered works become searchable and can get a second chance at life. Library patrons, who fund their local library’s purchases with their tax dollars, also benefit from the ability to freely access the books. Publishers are, unfortunately, not a fan of this model, and in 2020 four of them sued the Internet Archive over its CDL program. The suit ultimately focused on the Internet Archive’s lending of 127 books that were already commercially available through licensed aggregators. The publisher plaintiffs accused the Internet Archive of mass copyright infringement, while the Internet Archive argued that its digitization and lending program was a fair use. The trial court sided with the publishers, and on September 4, the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reaffirmed that decision with some alterations to the underlying reasoning.  This decision harms libraries. It locks them into an e-book ecosystem designed to extract as much money as possible while harvesting (and reselling) reader data en masse. It leaves local communities’ reading habits at the mercy of curatorial decisions made by four dominant publishing companies thousands of miles away. It steers Americans away from one of the few remaining bastions of privacy protection and funnels them into a surveillance ecosystem that, like Big Tech, becomes more dangerous with each passing data breach. And by increasing the price for access to knowledge, it puts up even more barriers between underserved communities and the American dream.
