Hello!!! I’m Jay (he/him)

I'm 19 years old. I'm not entirely sure what age I regress too - pretty young I think! Maybe around 2-5?

I keep my queue busy with agere posts such as moodboards, plushies, and kidcore! I generally make OC posts twice a week :3

Posts that I make will be tagged as #my post. I’ll never reblog or create inappropriate or stress-inducing posts like vents, politics, reblog bait, or internet drama. This is a stress free environment!

I do NOT consent to k!nk interaction, even if it's SFW!

If a k!nk account interacts with my posts or crosstags with agere I will report the account for explicit material

Happy Blorbo Blursday!! I’m returning your own ask to you: describe any of your oc’s (as many as you want, you know I love to hear it), what people’s first impression of them is, if they like the way they look, etc. Make it as detailed as you want <3

OOH! OK! Happy Blorbo Blursday btw :)

I'm gonna answer this with all of my The City is Ours main characters, because I've haven't talked about them and their appearances much yet.

Nickelle

I mentioned it in her mini bio on the WIP intro, but anyway, Nickelle is Japanese American. She's got short black hair (somewhere between shoulder length and chin length), dark eyes, and her family's skin tone is a little on the darker brown side. Her build is on the lean side, making her a really fast runner (though she doesn't really do sports).

Nickelle doesn't really mind how she looks now. She used to be really self conscious about it because of her judgmental extended family and people at school. But after meeting her best friend Gabby, who is a fashionista that also believes all bodies are beautiful and deserve love, Nickelle has found it easier to not be so self conscious of how she looks, and even embrace it and her style.

She's got this very punk and goth style. Her parents don't really mind as long as she can tone it down for when they meet extended family who would be less accepting of the style. That's why she doesn't get real piercings or tattoos, but she will get magnetic piercings and temporary tattoos instead. She does dye her hair, and just covers it with a black dye that will wash out for family gatherings. Her wardrobe usually consists of leather jackets (both black and other colors), Doc Martens, jeans, and typically a t-shirt of some obscure band. For concerts, she likes to wear neon colored dresses or skirts with lots of zippers, sometimes paired with fishnet stockings, and always Doc Martens.

Her hair has purple streaks most of the time, with the occasional blue and green streaks mixed in. Her makeup isn't more than eyeliner most of the time, except for on concert days. On the days she and her band have a concert, she goes all out with the makeup, including colorful eye-shadow, and usually a bright purple star on her cheek.

Asher

He's Latino with medium brown skin, and curly brown hair. He likes the way he looks, and so does his family. His build is leaner, but a little on the buffer side just because of genetics.

His style is very much soft nerdy gay boy vibes. He wears a TON of flannel, plus nerdy t-shirts with obscure references, and brightly colored high top sneakers. But because he spends a lot of time with his dad and uncles, he also knows how to do stuff like fix a car or build a cabinet very well- he gets his dad friend personality from them.

He doesn't have any piercings or tattoos or dyed hair, just because it's not for him (but if he did his family wouldn't mind).

He's very confident in how he looks now that he's gotten past all of the early teenage awkwardness, and a lot of the guys at school who like boys have crushes on him (and he makes a lot of "straight" guys question their sexuality/gender). He came out towards the middle of his senior year of high school to support a couple of boys who had been outed, and he's totally chill about it (anyone who tries to pick on him ends up getting the dad lecture and or questioning their sexuality).

Gabby

Gabby is the token straight, cis, abled, white girl who's super positive and supportive of everyone- regardless of their ethnicity, sexuality, gender, or physical/mental ability. She's a fashionista, and is that girl who will give you a pep talk after someone breaks up with you; will fight and scratch with her designer nails and use her heel on anyone who is an asshole; and will give you a makeover if you want it while enhancing what's there without taking away the things that make you beautiful (which is everything).

She's also that girl who thinks that capitalism and the beauty industry are the devil and that they should stop shaming fem presenting people for just existing in their bodies and putting a price on beauty- if you want some pretty lipstick she'll give you hers because you shouldn't have to pay money for a little tube of lipstick if it will make you feel a little bit more confident.

Her style is all glitter, ruffles, designer heels, designer nails, designer makeup, designer everything, and whatever clothes she wears are usually pink. She also doesn't wear a ton of makeup, just enough to make her feel confident on average days. She has long blonde curls that come to her knees, and wears them a million different ways- usually a ponytail or braid for school and loose curls or a fancy bun for a special occasion.

Gabby is very confident in how she looks no matter what. Even if she just rolled out of bed, her hair is a rats nest, and her eyes have bags- she still feels like a goddess. And if anyone judges how she looks, she'll either ignore them, or have a little chit-chat with them about their insecurities that they're projecting onto her.

Kylee

Kylee is a shy redhead. She has long red hair that almost reaches her waist, freckles, and wears glasses. She doesn't really care how she looks, as long as it will help her blend in enough to keep the attention away from her (social interaction is hard, and she gets sick of trying to non-verbally communicate with people, so it's easier for her to just avoid it altogether at school). Her fingers are usually covered in lead, chalk, or paint because she's an artist, and doesn't really bother to wash it off.

When it comes to her style, comfort is more important than anything else so she can avoid getting overstimulated at school. She wears a lot of sweaters, cardigans, soft knit t-shirts, leggings, sweatpants if she can get away with it- anything loose and soft. For school, she likes to wear a sweater with jeans and simple sneakers. She also likes overalls because she can put art supplies and fidget toys in that front pocket for easy access, but she doesn't wear them as much anymore to avoid being viewed as childish.

She rarely wears makeup, if at all, mostly because she doesn't like how it feels on her face, and it's a hassle all around to find shades that look good on her and that aren't irritating and all that- so she just doesn't wear makeup, it's easier. Her hair is usually in a braid or messy bun- anything that stays out of her face and will be less likely to get paint in it.

Like I said, she doesn't really care how she looks, as long as it's not drawing attention. When she meets Gabby, Gabby suggests giving her a makeover if she wants it. When Kylee explains why she doesn't like makeup, Gabby makes it her mission to find stuff that is comfortable and won't bug Kylee so she can give Kylee a makeover if she wants one. When she finds it, Kylee decides to let Gabby do her makeup this once, and actually likes it- not enough to try doing it everyday, but she does want to go to Gabby for a makeover for special occasions. Gabby is over the moon about this and they become good friends (and Gabby is a pro at using nonverbal communication).

Bryson

Bryson is a black, skaterboy, cishet (he's on very thin ice) guy. His black hair is longer, and curly. Most of the time he wears his hair in braids. He doesn't know for sure, but according to his dad he looks like his mom (who skipped town after he was born). Most of his style is the skater boy type. Shorts, headphones; kneepads, elbowpads, and helmet (because not wearing that stuff is asking for an injury to him); sneakers, and graphic t-shirts with skateboards and such on them. He doesn't mind how he looks at all, and when he dresses up for special events, he thinks he looks really great.

Vira "V"

They have a complicated relationship with how they look, as a nonbinary muslim. They want to look androgynous, but also wants to wear their culture's traditional clothing, and it's hard to find stuff that isn't all masculine or all feminine clothing, neither of which they feel comfortable dressing like. Plus society trying to force gender norms on them, people of their culture who are judgmental, and things like that make finding a style they feel comfortable and confident in is hard. Their immediate family, who understands and supports them, does what they can to help V find stuff they like. When Gabby meets them, she makes it her mission to find stuff that both fits and is accepted in their culture and that V will feel comfortable in. She does a lot a research, looks all over, and does some sewing when she can't find anything. V is grateful to her for that, and they have a good friendship because of it. They have a style that's mostly what jocks wear, especially at school because they're off to soccer games or practice a lot. Tons of sweatpants, sweatshirts, big loose t-shirts, sneakers, and anything that's athletic and easy to change in and out of. Plus those kinds of clothes are just comfy. And the style is completely normal for them because they're known for being a soccer jock that's always headed to the field.

Jason

Rich boy. That's it. He's a cishet, white, abled, rich asshole, and he acts like it. He's got wavy brown hair, blue eyes, all of it. He's very overconfident, especially about his looks, and he will use them to his advantage because he knows he can. His style is mostly suits, all designer clothing of the highest quality, and he will flaunt it whenever he can. He's good looking, and he's got this inflated vision of himself, thinking that's he's irresistible god to everyone. He's the dick that thinks he can change a girl's sexuality when she's not attracted to him because she's not attracted to guys (or she is attracted to guys, but not him). He throws a hissy fit when his attempts at charming his way to what he wants doesn't work.

Chase

He's American Romani, with a big nose, curly brown hair, and medium brown skin. He doesn't hate how he looks, but doesn't really mind either. He cares more about his equations, coding, and mechanical designs and whether or not they will work.

He has that nerd who just rolled out of bed and stayed up working all night style. He usually ends up wearing pajamas to school, with a hoodie and an energy drink in his hand (he can go through ten six packs of energy drinks in one night of superheroing or an all nighter study session, he's also the kid that can and will mix coffee with his energy drink). He's always carrying his laptop, a notebook full of his blueprints and equations for them, and has a pencil or two stuck in his hair. He's also the wizard kid that can do most math without a calculator. Chase is very much a Peter Parker type character in terms of clothing style and priorities. (Except for romance and that stuff, he's aromantic and pansexual.)

Thanks for the ask @friendlyneighborhood-writer / capricorn !

VERSE ADDITION: BLUE EYES AND BLACK JEANS

Primarily exists for promisedsanctum, waywardhearts, and lightheartedwarrior but anyone can interact with him in this verse.

In a world without far off places, daring sword fights, magic spells and princes in disguise, Riku continued to grow up in his normal life. Now in his last year of high school, Riku is arguably the coolest kid in school -- not that he sees it that way. He’s dating Sora, who’s brother Roxas couldn’t be less excited about but Riku doesn’t care because he loves Sora to the end of the universe and back. His blue eyes shine against his black leather jacket, black jeans, and classic converse sneakers as he patiently waits to graduate high school. 

Riku drives a black and silver Harley Davidson motorcycle as well as a red and blue pan chopper motorcycle to and from school. He loves both of them more than life itself. He doesn’t let anyone ride them unless he really likes you or he really trusts you. Don’t worry, he practices safety with fingerless leather gloves, a helmet, and a  black leather jacket. Motorcycles are pictured HERE.

His entire left arm is a sleeve of tattoos that tell the story of daring adventures into the unknown complete with stars, planets, and oceans and new horizons. His Dream Eater tattoo is on his back, but he just thinks it’s a cool symbol he saw in a book once. His right bicep has a band of crossing lines that look like they form loose hearts. 

Riku has facial piercings. He has a lip piercing on the left side of his bottom lip, an eyebrow piercing on his left eyebrow, both of his ears pierced in the lobes and his right ear also has an industrial piercing.

Riku is always seen with over-the-ear headphones around his neck. He’s never without his music, it’s how he drowns out the world. He also does this because any time he has a song he wants to show someone {usually Sora or Kairi} Riku can just put his headphones on them and make them listen. 

Black skinny jeans, black leather jackets, and converse high tops that are black and white or all black are Riku’s entire fashion aesthetic. V-neck t-shirts or long sleeves with the sleeves rolled, a chain always hangs attached to his back belt loop and latches onto the front belt loop on his right hip, beanies, the black leather cuffs and bracelets on either of his wrists, chokers and necklaces, band t-shirts, etc. All of those things and more create Riku’s day to day style. 

TW:SMOKING. A lighter can always be found on Riku because he smokes cigarettes, but he never does it around people in case they have a problem with it.  He will always walk away to smoke or distance himself from people until he is done before returning to them.  

Sora is one hundred percent the strawberry to Riku’s cigarette and the candy to his lighter. They are opposites, and while he knows that people talk about them because they don’t seem like a likely pair Riku doesn’t care because he absolutely loves Sora inside and out. 

On the opposite, Riku hates Sora’s brother Roxas because he and Roxas constantly fight one another. It’s argument after argument that never stop. Passive-aggressive dinners, jabs at one another at school, the whole nine yards. It is rare that these two are never fighting. 

Speaking of fighting, Riku gets into fights at school. Often. Whether it’s because people are ragging on Sora, people are being terrible, people are making fun of him, or all of the above, Riku has a reputation for beating up people who say anything bad against the things in his life.

Despite how it might appear, however, Riku is at the top of his class for his grades. He takes his academics very seriously. Every assignment is done with precision and very thoroughly so that he can have the best marks amongst his peers. 

In the good old war of Playstation versus Xbox, Riku prefers the Playstation. He has a PS4 and, when it comes out, he plans to save up to get a PS5. 

Riku definitely picks out the colour of Sora’s braces rubber bands every time that Sora asks. Without fail, Riku always chooses bright aquamarine blue so that they match his eyes and so that every time Sora looks in a mirror and smiles he thinks of him. 

He’s known as the strong, silent, mysterious crown prince of his school, but this holds true no matter what verse he is in. 

His hobbies include drawing, listening to music, reading, writing poetry, taking walks along the beach, and playing video games. He likes hobbies that allow him to drown out the world and go other places for a short while. 

Some of Riku’s favourite bands and music artists include {but are not limited to}: Disturbed, The Beatles, Lewis Capaldi, All Time Low, 5 Seconds of Summer, My Chemical Romance, Counting Crows, Bowling for Soup, Neon Trees, Cinema Bizarre, Tycho, Chris Young, Never Shout Never, Augustana, Queen, Bullet For My Valentine, Framing Hanley, Elvis Presley, Landon Pigg, The Higher, Keane, The Killers, AFI, Troye Sivan, Simon Curtis, Point North, Halsey, Gabbie Hanna, Breaking Benjamin, Secondhand Serenade, Marilyn Manson, and Hollywood Undead.

Because Riku loves music so much, he always sends people songs to listen to. These songs don’t always have to relate to their relationship {whatever that may be}. Sometimes, he just sends them songs because he thinks that they’ll like them but other times he’ll send songs because they fit a certain situation or feeling. After all, music speaks when words fail. 

Nail polish? Definitely. Riku’s nails are always painted solid black or dark blue to match the night sky. He paints them himself.

Riku doesn’t care for junk food much, but sometimes he helps himself to Oreos, cookies and cream ice cream, cheese and pineapple pizza, or some cool ranch Doritos. He prefers savoury to sweet, as a whole when it comes to his snacking habits.

All of the furniture in his room is black. The walls that are painted white are covered from top to bottom in vintage movie posters, album artwork from vinyl records, video game posters, band posters, you name it. His bedding is dark indigo blue with black, grey and white plaid accents. He has a bookshelf filled from top to bottom with his favourite vintage cds, video games, books, and a picture of him, his mom, and his dad from when he was five. His window has indigo blue curtains that have plaid details just like his bedding. His backpack resides on a hook near his bedroom door. 

Riku has a beta fish that is black and blue that he has named Ansem because he reminds him of a ghostly spirit. Ansem sits in a fishbowl on Riku’s desk. 

He absolutely loves movies, especially older movies. He loves classic things as a whole.  His favourite movies include {but are not limited to by any means}: Jaws, Titanic, The Ring, Grease, West Side Story, The Breakfast Club, and {though it’s not completely vintage} Star Wars. He also likes movies that take places from vintage eras even if they aren’t filmed in that era like, Call Me By Your Name, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Love Simon, The Time Traveler’s Wife, and Across the Universe. He doesn’t have one specific movie type that he goes to more than others, but he is always drawn to movies based on books.

KP finally finishes Gifted s2

gave up on this back when FOX was stupid and Marvel had me jaded (still does but meh). so here’s the final 3 episodes and my incoherent babble about them i guess, after not watcing the show or nearly a year and only having my previous babble session as a refresher about what’s going on

Episode 14:

 for once the “previously on dbz” segment is needed since,. yeah been almost a year since i’ve watched this...whoops

heeeey opening flashback! i forgot the format of this show...-.- oh hey not-Graydon...you know his comment about “freaks to teleport me through traffic” would’ve been funnier if he was Graydon, since Kurt is technically his sibling...as is Clarice... just saying.

oh right, Lauren was dosed with serum. well, at least it’s working right, really screwing her up. but again, Mom is the only rational and logical one.

how are sewers large enough for a tent metropolis? but oh hey, she knows about past Morlocks hm??? maybe cause some Mauraders action...hm??? or something they previously established with the Brotherhood or not-Bishop explained that i can’t remember, whatever. i’m just happy to see Blink. and the Morlocks have a network to places...like Pittsburgh? i thought they just live din NYC...ok in this story it’s just DC because that’s where we’re set ok, but still...

wait not-Graydon is making Sentinel Guy do the Mauraders plotline?? ooo...

is the Hellfire building CGI? that..looked badly shaded...and Lorna’s hair still looks stupid...though Andy’s hair does too...why do the bad guys have bad fashion sense?

i hadn’t forgotten how Mary Sue the Struckers were though...uhg...but hey don’t sweat it Mom, if Moira McTaggert’ taught us anything, you’re never the only non-mutant in the pro-mutant side; turns out you’l end up being one all along eventually.

oh good back to Blink. please don’t flirt with not-Bishop though. just...go fight Purifiers, since that was backstory for you, ok, that’s way better than flirting. wait Gabby? uh...when’d Blink get blue in her hair?

wait Cop Man, were they dead when you found them, or did you...overall though, i am really liking the atmosphere of the Purifer’s tunnel raid. the mood and tension are great, and the cinematography is doing a good job at keeping it. it’s a shame the editor feels the need to cut back to sunny Hellfire tower to break the atmosphere...but hey

oh don’t get cocky Morlock guys...and grenade, yup cocky. but again, the lighting and mood of everything in the tunnels is really good. the power effects not so much...but tv budget. and i had actually forgotten not-Bishop had a lazer eye O.o

dang Mom you are still best OC here

nooooo you shot Blink!!! baby girl nooooooo. idc about Sentinel Guy’s burst of conscious at “wait there are mutant children?” you shot best girl Blink. boo on you

Episode 15:

flashback time yay -.- but Blink! won’t make me forget you shot her since the recap ended on that...but hey tell me more about her past please, i really want to know why she doesn’t think she’s best girl. just saying “i was with the brotherhood and i didn’t like it” doesn’t cut it...and John no, you’re not allowed to give out redemption to everyone unless they are convenient to your aesthetic or philosophical interpretation, that’s why Krakoa preaches

John you don’t have time to fight not-Bishop out of grief ok. you were a ranger, you should realize that.

wait, so Reeva’s the one to blame for the council of stupid on Krakoa? that...actually makes sense, since she’s done tones of hypocritical last minute rule changing plans. weird.

really, my joke about Sentinel Guy’s heel turn was right? he honesty never realized that there were mutant children? i...wow

hey Lorna’s tiara. it makes her hair slightly less stupid looking. makes her outfit a tad stupid though...she should have more of that green popping somewhere, like her knives or a wrist band, or something.

really John just stayed there punching a wall and no cops found him? bad writing.

oooo is Dad gonna fry Cop Man?? sorry, disintegrate, i forgot what he did. and holy crap he did-sweet!

there are a lot of dutch angles in this episode...

oh Lauren don’t turn on your Mom, c’mon! why is no one thinking realistically?

hehe Cuckoos and fashion joke...although why did they get a pop of color elsewhere...or were the boots white just to point out the dirt

“do you think we can mind control our way to a mutant homeland” hm...should i just put in a cut off now for shots at Krakoa?

Mom you’re the only one with a brain! don’t sacrifice yourself because “i has no powers”

gasp! Sentinel Guy *SEES* a mutant child, now he knows for reals they exist. i’m sorry but this heel turn for him is stupid. i get the “i never saw them as *people* and now i do” but the way it’s framed is, as i’ve said “wait there are mutant CHILDREN?? O.o” and that is just bad writing

i swear, if Lorna trying to save Andy gets her killed, i will hate the Wonder Twins even more forever. but at least i agree with his “well her plan sounds stupid” when he learns the truth. they could’ve colored Lorna’s zippers the metallic green, that would’ve tied her costume together...sorry distracted

Lauren’s shield looks like bubble wrap...and she’s super pouty wth?

ok the Dad-Andy monster talk was really good...ruined by Lauren’s stupid face inserts sure, but the talk was really good.

hey back to not-Graydon and Sentinel Man. ah yes, i knew killing Cop Man would just switch Sentinel Man back in the end, that is also why his little epiphany was so annoying, because ultimately it was pointless.

aw man sappy music when the OC Family gets back together...yeah ok, but still i’ll groan a bit because uhg. but ooo Lorna comes back to Marcos too ok now it’s less groany (but still overly cheesey and neon annoying). do kinda like John on the roof...too bad the over the top music drones it out a bit.

Episode 16:

the finale! i don’t...know what to expect going into this, other than Blink pops in at the end and might be Exiles Blink?

hey the last time shows the reunion scene would’ve worked well without the over the top music. huh

oh the flashback is the 7/15 event. heh Hawks News, instead of Fox, heh. but otherwise...meh, mandatory flashback

so their plan is, use the Uber Mary Sue Wonder Twins to destroy a skyscraper. i...sure, what else can we expect from the Strucker Show (maybe Dad will sacrifice himself and do it all on his own, that’d be a neat-yet obvious-twist)

you can tell John’s depressed cause his hair isn’t floofy anymore ^^;;;

again, Mom’s the only one with thinking ahead skills.

oh, we’re getting spliced in flashbacks...yeah Dad’s gonna die.

Cuckoos! srry, still one of the best parts of any episode. and our dear Esme is starting to turn...

oh John’s going Warpath on us with his face paint (yes he’s Thunderbird, i know). the John vs Sentinel Guy thing might be a bit much, but this is an awesome fight for John...even if he is being a fool and self sacrificial.

at least it was a commercial break that broke the energy of the fight scene, and not just a scene change. also, more flashback, i’m even more convinced Dad is gonna die.

did they dye Andy’s hair so he and Lauren would look more twinny? that’s stupid...and a point i probably already made...

hm...since Bishop is from the future, are they implying that Erg is his ancestor? (though that fails to track with the timeline of DoFP IF this is the same continuity of course)

ooooooo John said it, he is Thunderbird...and i think his face paint changed between shots because that white line wasn’t there by the dumpster scene...whoops

oh don’t tell me the power of friendship is going to save the day. oh good, no, just the standby of “kill the evil cuckoos”

well the Wonder Twins are down for the count, so even more thinking Dad’s gonna die to blow up the Hellfire building...wait...you can’t control your powers when Reeva sonic screams? well Dad has no control-PERFECT!

wow there are a lot of power fights here. no wonder the affects in other episodes sucked, they spent the budget on the finale lol

hey Dad has the same plan i did. again, the writing telegraphed that was the ending...but still, i give Dad credit, he has grown as a character. the flashback doesn’t help though it just spells it out “this is best OC love him he is best ever” which...yeah, this show does that with the Struckers, we’ve covered that a millions times by now

i wonder if Dad touched himself would be disintegrate? also, shouldn’t his kids be safe, since same strain of X-gene are supposed to be immune...or does that only apply to certain power types?

not to play it down, but yup, dad exploded. if it wasn’t so thrown at you that that was how it’d end from, the start, then this moment might’ve had more impact...also the moment itself was kinda “you knew this was coming, there it’s done”

hey Esme’s on their team now, neat! i thought she’d be independent.

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey Blink’s back! but she had a collar on her coat that was reminiscent of her AoA costume, and she opened a portal to a place with burning fire...kinda like the DoFP setting/AoA, and she never addressed anyone by name, just a general “come with me”....so yeah, that was totally Exiles Blink, and not the Blink of this story. that’s really kinda awesome.

too bad we won’t be following up on that since there’s no plans for season 3. but...it was an ok way to end i guess. it closed off the story for our main people, and we all know that it’ll never end with a “and they all lived happily ever after in peace and harmony” because it’s Xmen. it opens the door for other stories to happen in the same setting...and leaves the big hole about Blink at the end, but yeah...

but now it’ll never be followed up probably because disney/marvel thinks the Xmen are the Inhumans now *shrugs* whatever, i finally finished The Gifted, i can check that off my To-Watch List

We Were Merely Freshmen - Chapter 4 - Archie/OC

Tag list: @siriussblackx @isaaclahys

“Looking for someone?”

Gabby turned to the counter, finding the pink-haired teen girl she saw at Pops’ running a dishtowel over the counter. Funny how juxtaposed it was; Pops in a crisp, white, clean uniform and a bright smile, helping everyone who came by while this girl scowled at Gabby, in a uniform of her serpent jacket and the darkest colors to match the darkness of her jacket and the hellish atmosphere around her.

The red neon lights sitting around the bar didn’t help much, either.

Gabby ventured closer to the girl. She continued speaking, the smirk on her face growing wider. “Did you lose your dog? Oh, sorry, a girl like you has a horse, right?”

“A girl like me?” Gabby repeated.

She shrugged and stopped buffing the counter. This time, she picked up a glass a customer slapped to the table and ran it under a tap before drying it with her dishtowel. “You’re right, Riverdale isn’t the best place for horses.” She nodded out the windows of the bar. “But that horsepower though…”

Gabby sighed. It sounded silly, but her car really was her baby. Her most pried possession other than her dog tags. Other than her combat boots. Two of her least expensive items of sentiment, but she had to have her extravagance somewhere. “Not so much horsepower anymore.”

Now the girl looked interested, looking over the large droplets that dripped to the floor. “You break down?”

“No, I decided to come in here to see how the other half lives,” Gabby said sarcastically, adopting the girl’s tone. “You gotta phone?”

“Yeah, but it doesn’t work.”

“Not for your kind, anyway.” Gabby looked to her left and right, noticing the presence that suddenly flanked her sides. Two tall teenaged boys, one with a serpent tattoo on his neck, the other’s hidden. Nevertheless, both of their dark eyes trained on Gabby with less than friendly looks. “Is she bothering you, Toni? You know it’s hard to get that Northside stench off when you come too close.”

Toni waved her hand. “Nah, she’s fine.” She pointed out the window with her thumb. “Car broke down.”

“Don’t you have, like, five more waiting to be used?” The second boy asked.

“Hardly, my corvette’s my baby.”

“Would probably be the only thing to stick it’s dick in your.”

At that, Toni rolled her eyes. “Honestly, Sweet Pea, the misogynistic route is tired these days. If you want to insult a Northsider, take some pointers from Fangs.” She jerked her head as Sweet Pea rolled his eyes and Fangs smiled smugly. “Either that, or let your fists do the talking. It’s what you’re good at.”

Sweet Pea and Fangs laughed at Toni’s playful jabs at them. Gabby, on the other hand, laughed for an entirely different reason. “Your names are Sweet Pea and Fangs?” She cut her laughter short with a snort. She rolled her eyes. “What’s next? String Bean and Mandible? Your parents must really love you.”

Not that she had any room to talk.

Sweet Pea stepped forward, his eyes roving over Gabby’s shorter stature. Taller than Toni but certainly much shorter than the other teenagers that stood around her. Gabby reached into the pocket of her pants, squeezing her palm around the dog tags that sat nestled inside. Just as she did whenever she needed her mother’s strength. “You talk tough for someone who’s on the wrong side of town,” he said. “What? Did you think a little field trip over here was going to make you realize how good you have it over there?”

“Not like you don’t flaunt it every chance you get,” Fangs added. He tilted his head, looking at her dripping clothes. “Everyone knows silk doesn’t do well when it gets wet.” Sweet Pea and Toni exchanged glances while Fangs shrugged unapologetically. “But you can always buy more, can’t you?”

“Yeah, yeah.” Gabby threw her hair back, rolling her shoulders to appear more confident than she truly was. “So, are you going to help me or not?” Gabby asked.

Sweet Pea pretended to mull it over. He didn’t last a second before snapping a pool stick back into his hands. “Not,” He replied. To emphasize his statement, he leaned over the pool table and smacked the cue ball into the triangle formed balls, shooting one straight into the corner pocket.

“Sorry, princess,” Toni added with a not-so-sorry shrug and even not sorrier smirk. “But we don’t do charity as much as you Northsiders don’t. Then again,” her eyes turned flinty. “We’re just trailer trash, right?

Chills and Thrills

Based off THIS post.

Happy Halloween everyone!

Pairing: R76 Gabe is just finishing up the bloody touches of his make-up when Ana rounds the corner, clipboard in hand. She’s already dressed up in her pirate costume, Gabe notes as he sets his sponge down.

“Gabby, you’re on the window tonight.” She waves the clipboard at him.

Gabe scowls, “Not again.”

Ana pauses in the doorway, the eyebrow above her eyepatch rising, “Why not?”

“I did the window last night.” Gabe complains, pushing away from the vanity and searching for his jacket, “I put on this costume specifically to be in the hand-on hallway.” He pulls his black tattered trench coat over his shoulders and smooths out the lines.

Ana eyes him from his distressed black boots, up the messy elegance of his costume, to the gory ruin of his costume makeup. He knows he looks a sight, undead skin and bloody fangs and he even salt-and-peppered his hair!

“You will make a truly terrifying vampire, Gabriel.” Ana points the clipboard at him, “From the window.” her boots thump down the corridor of the changing rooms and Gabriel deflates with a sigh.

He hates working the windows. No one can appreciate all the hard work that goes into his costumes if the bottom half of it is hidden. Which it will be, because all the peephole windows give just enough of a glimpse to scare the pants off passerby, but only for a moment. Gabe likes to slink and follow and haunt his victims.

“Tough luck, eh, Reyes?” McCree passes by the open door to his room, dressed to the nine’s in his Van Helsing costume. He waves his glowing hand in Gabe’s direction before sauntering off towards his part of the haunted house.

Gabe checks his make-up in the mirror one last time before heaving a sigh and heading for his own part of the house.

He slinks down the hallways, whispering hello’s to the actors waiting for their prey behind curtains and doorways. His window is near the center of the haunted house, just past the asylum and before the haunted hospital room. Right smack dab in the ‘horror icon’ portion of the house.

He finds a his window with a quick smoothing of his hand across the boards. The trap cord is hanging to the right of it and the peephole is in the center. He leans forward to check the hallway.

It’s completely black-light lite. There are old, weather pictures hanging haphazardly on the walls and the carpet is old and blood stained. Gabe’s heart does a little sigh at the sight and waits patiently for his first victims.

He goes through fourteen easy scares before coming to his first challenge.

Most people who come through in groups are easy pickings, mostly girls clinging to each other or their boyfriends, older kids making fun of the props, or in rare cases, children. Which Gabe patiently waits out because he’s not interested in starring in a six year olds recurring nightmare.

But there there are those groups of people. Early twenties, two girls leading the way, arms locked together and determined frowns on their faces as they march down the hall. Then two guys bringing up the rear, one wearing a Jason mask, hands stuffed casually into his front pockets. The other was Gabe’s golden ticket for the evening.

Blonde hair, all-white hoodie with the football team’s logo on the front and built like a running back. He’s wearing a relaxed grin and is chatting down at Jason-mask dude as the girls pass Gabriel up.

Guys like tall, blonde and gorgeous are the hardest to scare. They are the literal backbone of the groups, with relaxing voices and assuring ‘it’s just a prop, Abigail’ words after every scare.

Gabriel’s favorite past time is scaring the bejesus out these dudes and turning the group into one big, screaming mess.

He’s done it before and goddamn it, he’ll do it again.

He waits until just the right moment to drop the seemingly innocent portrait in the hallway, hissing dangerously as the wood slams down with a loud snap. Jason-mask screams and spins backwards.

Blondie leaps backwards into the opposite wall, blue eyes wide and arm pulled back.

Oh shit, Gabe tries not to break character as that hand curls into a fist, I’m finally going to walk out of here with a black eye.

Except, the hand relaxes almost as quickly as it tensed up, curling behind the dudes head as he leans back into the wall. A combat boot props up against the bottom of Gabe’s portrait and a slow, easy smirk pulls at the corners of blondie’s mouth.

“So, come here often?” He asks with a gravel-thick voice.

It takes all of Gabriel’s willpower not to drop his jaw at the smooth transition from ‘fucking terrified’ to ‘wanna grab a drink later?’.

Instead, he shrugs and still in character hisses, “Only on weekends in October.”

The girls let out peals of laughter up ahead and Jason-mask slaps the blonde on his shoulder as he eases out of his reclined pose. He gives Gabe a finger-gun and a wink before strolling off after his friends.

Gabe shuts his window and presses his forehead against the wood - defeated.

Much later in the evening, when Olivia strolls up in with neon-colored blood splattered all over her face and neck to relieve him, Gabe heads out for the actual fair. Ana gives him a wink from her spot at the front door of the house and he sneers at her in return.

Gabe beelines for the fried oreo stand, mouth watering and stomach rumbling at the mixed scents of turkey legs and funnel cakes. Kids are squealing around him, covered in face-paint and cotton candy. The rides are full of shouting adults and nauseous teenagers.

Gabe closes his eyes and takes it all in, swaying on his feet as he waits in line. When he opens his eyes to step forward, the patron at the window turns around and Gabe comes face to face with his failed scare.

The blonde is holding a lemonade and a nut-sprinkled caramel apple. Gone is the white hoodie and in its place is a black t-shirt with a silver scythe on the front that reads ‘Fear the Reaper’. Gabe’s insides melt.

Blondie points at him with his caramel-apple hand and grins, “Welcome back to the land of the living.”

“Ha ha.” Gabriel’s heard that one before.

Blondie just laughs and bites into his apple, chews thoughtfully, “You almost had me.”

Gabe crosses his arms over his chest, “Don’t get cocky, boyscout.” He waves a hand out, “You wouldn’t have been so tough if your friends hadn’t been there.”

Blondie just holds that casual smile and bites into his apple again. Those blue eyes rake down Gabriel’s form, “Shame the window hid most of your costume, looks great. One of the best ones I’ve seen all night.”

Of course it is, Gabe thinks smugly, Halloween is his holiday.

“Thanks.” He leaves the blonde for a second to place his order. He’s half-expecting the dude to be gone by the time he pays, takes the powdered-sugar goodness out of the attendants hands, and turns back around.

Except the blonde is still there, polishing off his apple and tossing the stick in a nearby trashcan. Gabe watches him lick the remaining sticky caramel from his fingers and a sliver of arousal simmers down his spine at the sight.

The blonde face lights up when Gabe walks back over with his fried oreos.

“Where are your friends?” Gabe glances around the blonde’s big body, searching for the Jason-masked dude and the women.

“Lucio wanted to try and catch a frog at one of the booths and the girls followed.” Blondie jerks a thumb towards the carnival booths. He waits a beat as they stand there awkwardly, blondie clears throat, “Name’s Jack.”

“Gabe.” He replies, taking a bite out of an oreo.

Jack rocks on his feet, takes a noisy sip from his lemonade, blue eyes focused solely on Gabe. Kinda like has something to ask or to say. It’s almost unnerving, kinda creepy, and just a little bit hot. Gabe’s growing impatient and horny.

Jack seems to make up his mind after a minute of silence, leans forward, “Ever made out in corn maze?”

Gabe groans around a bite of his oreo, “I thought you’d never ask.”

[S] The Charlatan: Attend a Pumpkin Party

The Halloween fic. 

This image seems more appropriate now.

I’ll just escort myself out.

tagging my enablers: @turians​ and @tavum​. 

This is going on the main tag. You all are gonna suffer with me a s my enablers encouraged this garbage. 

–

Tartarus hardly celebrated any festivities but tonight the club was a venue for a Halloween party-the first ever in Andromeda. Reyes declined the invitation. Halloween wasn’t a holiday he celebrated as a child. As an adult, he spent every 31st of October-not Halloween-preparing flowers with his mother for their dead relatives. 

And he had work to do. Kadara was always in need of fixing.

But Kian insisted or rather, he hauled him out of his private room to take his mind off work and enjoy the festivities. The Pathfinder was attending, and if the Pathfinder was there, Jean would be right behind.

They hadn’t seen each other in months.

So here he was, dressed as a smuggler from one of those old sci fi movies he saw once or twice. The outfit was the only one he found in the closet which looked tasteful.

The club was packed, more than the usual weekday night on Tartarus. Most of the Port would rather spend their night in Kralla’s song or at their homes. The slums were still dangerous at night even with the change of leadership. Tonight was different. Half of Kadara was here for the Halloween party.

Reyes sent a quick message to Jean. 

To: Jean Ryder

From: Reyes Vidal

Heard the Pathfinder was invited to the Halloween party at Tartarus. You coming along?

-R

To: Reyes Vidal

From: Jean Ryder

Yeah, we’re here. I’m with Gabby, if you wanna come find me. Look for her, she’s pretty damn obvious.

-Jean

In the mass of bodies thrashing on the dance floor, Reyes didn’t spot her or Jean anywhere. He waded through them, bumping onto ghouls and vampires, and one of the Pathfinder’s squad mates. 

Liam…Kosta was it? He was dressed in all blue: shirt, pajamas and a long hood which stretched all the way to the floor. The only non-blue item he wore was a pair of yellow shoes.

“If you’re looking for Jean, he’s that way with the Pathfinder,” Kosta said, pointing his thumb at the bar. He assessed Reyes’ costume, looking up and down at his form.

“I assume you’re Han.”

Reyes shrugged. “It was the only thing I could find. And you are?”

Kosta parted his lips but before he said anything, their angaran crew mate ran to him. He held a pair of horns which resembled a candy corn. 

“Do I have to wear these all night, Liam?” The angara asked. His usual blue rofjin was now black aside from the cobalt zodiac sign-Scorpio?-on his lapel.  

“Yes, you do Jaal,” Kosta placed the horns back on his head. “It’s part of your costume.”

The angara grumbled, “you humans and your strange holidays.”

Reyes slipped away from the two and made his way to the bar.

The Pathfinder was sat on a stool with Nyx and her twin. Her bright orange outfit glowed under the neon lights of the club. A stylized sun was on the centre of her chest, and her blonde hair was fastened with a gold headband. Beside her, Nyx wore the same candy corn horns like the angara. However, she didn’t wear any face paint. A green zodiac sign-Virgo?-was painted on her carapace.

And Jean was draped in red: shirt, a cape, the gear symbol on his chest, and pajamas? And sunglasses, he wore sunglasses.  With the sunglasses on, Jean looked different. Before, he was a nerd and now, he was a nerd trying to look cool with sunglasses.

“Are you supposed to be a knight?” Reyes asked. He sat on the stool next to Jean, and order his usual.

“No, I’m not” Jean said, “And what are you? A knock off version of yourself? You are a smuggler.”

Gabriela and Nyx laughed. Reyes frowned, he didn’t intend to be here and the closet was lacking in tasteful costumes. 

“I’m not the one wearing pajamas,” he shot back.

That earned him a scowl. Nevertheless, Jean was handsome. Different from his “just-got-out-of-bed” look Reyes was accustomed to for months. He might not be a knight but the costume suited him-a knight in pajamas. His knight in soft…armour.

“So…” Reyes began, “what are you all supposed to be?”

Both twins glanced at each other, waiting who would explain what the fuck they were supposed to be. Other than themselves in colourful sleepwear. 

Finally, Jean broke the silence. “We’re uh characters from…a…”

“A classic novel!” Gabriela piped in. “One of Jean’s favourites.”

She winked at her twin. “In fact, everyone on the Tempest is dressed as characters from this…” She paused, covering her mouth to stifle a giggle. “Classic novel”

And it was true.  The human members of the Tempest Crew wore brightly coloured outfits similar to Gabriela and Jean’s. Each one had a different symbol on their outfits. Kosta he saw earlier. Their scientist now joined him on the dance floor. Her costume was a black dress with a white spiral on her chest. She wore a pair of glittering red shoes and…dog ears. 

Their engineer was playing poker at a table across from the bar. From under the table, Reyes noted that he wasn’t wearing any pants. Or he was but he didn’t consider tight spandex as pants. They were yellow like the rest of his outfit. 

Only Harper wore something different. She traded the colourful outfits for a sleek white dress and a pink scarf.

Meanwhile, the alien crew wore candy corn horns of various shapes. Some wore face paint, others didn’t. Yet they all wore similar costumes-a black costume, plain aside from a zodiac sign printed on their outfits.

Not only the Tempest crew, the club was filled with people dressed in similar costumes. A number of them were dressed as Jean’s character, he assumed. Some of them wore a different outfit from Jean’s knight costume.

The Halloween party had a theme. A theme Reyes missed due to his last minute decision to attend. A theme Jean didn’t tell him in advance nor asked him if he wanted to coordinate costumes.

Or this was a beloved novel Kadara loved. He wasn’t even aware Jean was into literature, or reading anything other than scientific documents.

The music in the club changed to an upbeat song. 

“I love this song!” Gabriela said, and she hopped off the bar stool, dragging Nyx with her to the dance floor.  

Now they were alone, Reyes asked. “So why didn’t you tell me before?”

“That we were coordinating costumes?”Jean quirked an eyebrow. “Thought you might not like it once you find out who you’re going as.”

“I’m not that difficult to please.”

“No seriously, if we were going to coordinate, you are going as him.” Jean tapped a key on his Omni tool. A holo of a grey skinned boy flashed from his Omni tool. The boy had candy corn horns and a black shirt with a zodiac sign the colour of his skin.

“I admit I don’t fancy covering myself in gray paint.” Reyes admitted. The paint would be hell to take off, and he had to return as the Charlatan the next day. “But I could wear the horns and the shirt.”

Jean laughed. “He’s not your type. Too angry.” He gestured at his costume. “This is more your type.”

“And I’m supposed to believe this is your type?” Reyes bumped his elbow into Jean’s arm. 

The song changed to a ballad, an old pop tune from the 21st century. The momentum slowed on the dance floor as patrons found a partner to dance with or retired to the bar.  Jean hopped off his stool. He bowed; his cape bounced when he lowered his upper body.

The gesture reminded Reyes of their dance in his private room.

“Want me to be your knight this evening?” Jean asked, offering his hand.

Reyes took it, and allowed Jean to lead him to the floor. “I thought you weren’t dressed as a knight.”

“He isn’t. But I can be one for you.”

A flush of heat burned in his cheeks. Reyes was glad the lights were dim so Jean didn’t see what he did to him.

Of course, Jean still couldn’t dance. Reyes was amazed he didn’t step on Reyes’ feet nor his cape in his poor attempt at leading him.  so Jean couldn’t see Of course, Jean still couldn’t dance. He was amazed Jean hadn’t stepped on Reyes’ feet nor his cape in his poor attempt at leading him.

They bumped into Gabriela and Nyx. Gabriela made a face at her brother who scrunched his face in return. She was about to make another gesture but Nyx whispered something in her ear. She blushed then Nyx led her away from the dance floor.

They were alone. Jean pulled him close until Reyes could leaned his head on Jean’s shoulder. Reyes missed this, missed being so close to him he felt his heartbeat on his chest. 

Tomorrow, they would part. And tomorrow, Reyes would look up at the stars and wonder if he would ever come back. 

Reyes pulled back, enough that he could look at his face. He slipped those stupid sunglasses off. They hid his eyes. 

When Jean didn’t complain, Reyes titled his head and pressed their lips together. Jean didn’t attempt to pull back, and say they were out in the open. He missed this, missed them too with the way his lips glided over his or how he wrapped his arms around him.

The song had ended when they broke, breathless and yearning for more. 

“Let’s get out of here.” Reyes linked their hands.

Jean nodded, squeezing his hand. 

“Yeah.”
