I went back home this past year & was greeted by a troupe of goats in Hell's Gate

[salemsimss]

Sometimes I think about the Hellgate save ft. some screenshots from when I was trying out seph's paperbacks preset

[anne-ominous]

They finally uploaded it! The haunt i work at got to have Doug Jones come in and do a guest lecture on character acting and I seriously ascended when I heard the news.

I got picked during the Q&A, and out of the dozens of questions running through my head I wound up asking for skincare tips, because I love roles that require masks or heavy makeup and prosthetics to pull off, which absolutely wrecks my face all month.

His answer was exfoliate lots and use a dab of olive oil.

HELL'S GATE

A story of an unlikely trio of Pandora the cheeky and curious 17-year-old. Ignis the "big" and cold bodyguard and Apollo the drama queen, all three seek sanctuary in a hotel: Hotel Aeternus, but are on a brink of survival because of health and supply issues, so they were sent off to the big and dangerous world full of monsters and mutants and filled with adventures where they find their true identities and show "their" true colors. One of which has strange descent that they know about although many find those religions as a scam or a death wish. Sometimes they tend to fool around and do non-illegal activities but it's all Pandora's fault.

Pandora, 17 years old and is the youngest of the trio and is the cheekiest of the group likes to spend her time mostly at the library, due to the fact loud noises disturb her she finds solitude in the hotels hidden library where she can read away and be an award teenager once she gets out the room. She almost became homeless for many MANY mistakes and stunts she have pulled off in the past missions she went with Ignis and Apollo. To the point they all almost died from something Pan was not supposed to disturb in the abandoned shack. Long story short, she will either drag them with her towards danger or drag danger towards them.

Ignis, 21 years old and is the most responsible one in the group. She is Apollo's bodyguard and the hotel's security ( It's a pain in the ass to guard Apollo in the hotel anyway, Even outside he's unbearable.) Just find her at the entrance she's always there.

Apollo Baros also known as Apollo the magnificent god (He's not a god -Ignis). Singer and entertainer of the hotel he is mostly found at the bar being bodaciously handsome with his whiskey at hand and a damsel in the other.His looks will bewitch you with such power that you will let him step on you with no remorse

Ps. Each of them wrote their descriptions, I have no power over any of them.

Pps. You wrote MY description with such blasphemy! Of course I must interfere and write the most biblically accurate Apollo as possible!

[elix-yaps]

bro i NEED this to be an indie series!!!

Firstly, the short summary of it: “Hellsgate Circus is a story I’ve made about a group of circus performers in Hell who have to kill those in the audience to avoid almost certain death.”

I’ve had multiple people state that it sort of feels like a mix of Helluva Boss and The Amazing Digital Circus when I fully explain it.

The lore for each character and the main idea of it can be found here.

I’ve been working on this for 7 MONTHS bro i NEED it to get a fandom eventually at least AAGH

Hellsgate Circus Lore

At the beginning, there’s an angel named Arian who was created for the sole purpose of protecting humans (as in, he’s a guardian angel). He disliked how orderly, strict, and emotionless Heaven was, so he never went up there (which is not allowed). Instead, he ALWAYS stayed on Earth. Though angels usually are wired as emotionless beings with no souls, Arian had a strong bond with the humans he protected on Earth. This was partially due to how he was also naturally a very protective being.

Whenever he did happen to return to Heaven, he was always very bold and disorderly compared to other angels (he was acting as the average human did, because that’s what he’s learned), and of course, other angels disliked that. Almost every angel was also coded to have an extreme hatred for any being who stuck out, so Arian was obviously treated terribly. It all kept going for over 1,000 years until an angel went even further to frame Arian for something he didn’t even know about. Since any human-like beings are known as liars to angels, he wasn’t taken seriously, and was considered guilty.

So, he was casted out of Heaven. He couldn’t even visit Earth.

When he arrived in Hell, he was devastated (obviously, as i’d hope anyone would be destroyed if they were sent to the fiery pits of hell and weren’t allowed to see any of their loved ones again). Since he had no money, he simply wondered the streets for a few days, until…

A seemingly wealthy ringmaster demon named Lucky spotted Arian one day and was fascinated by his angelic features (those being the remains of his halo and the permanently unusable wings). Lucky offered Arian a place to sleep along with free food if he was willing to stay in a circus for an undefined amount of time. Lucky also even stated that Arian didn’t even have to perform. Of course, Arian accepted; what position was he in to say no?

Once Arian settled into the circus and got a private tent from Lucky to stay in, he notices the darker surroundings. Sure, it was Hell, but even Hell didn’t feel this grim. He was surely a bit confused, as he thought it’d be a whimsical circus.

He met up with the rest of the main cast; Enzo, Victor, Talon, and Texx. Enzo was a jester and a trapeze artist, Victor was a magician, Talon was a backstage medic for the performers, and Texx was both a programmer (for extras in performances, such as light and effects) and an occasional clown. They didn’t really seem fond of him at first (except for Talon, because he basically loves everyone), but in a few weeks, they warmed up to him. He also learned more about them as they hung out more;

Enzo is a strange venus flytrap man who was originally a middle school science project thrown out that somehow grew limbs and became sentient. He’s really energetic but is emotional and struggles with self-hatred and trauma from a certain event. You can check out his backstory here.

Victor is a sinner with a regretful past- back over a century ago, he cheated on his (ex)wife, and once she found out, she killed him. For an entire century, he grieved in a deep depression. However, he found Talon, fell in love, and the two got together after knowing each other for a year or two. He usually appears sarcastic and deadpan to most people. (He’s still depressed, by the way.)

Talon is a sinner who was a cowboy and a murderer in his past life. He was a merciless killer who took the lives of the innocent, and mostly didn’t even think of it. However, his actions caught up to him one day, and he took his own life by a gun to the head. In Hell, he had a sort of redemption arc, and he’s actually a nice person now. I made a post about him a while back, so you can go see that for more info. As of now, he’s really caring and sweet, but struggles with anger issues (as you can’t fix everything from your past, of course; some things are permanent).

Texx is a hell-born (imp) robot/protogen. She, before entering the circus, was created/used as a… uh… *pleasure* bot, but she, alike Enzo, gained sentience one day. After a little while of just taking the constant abuse she was now a victim of, she ran away (and got a neck injury, damaging a speech/voice wire, causing her to have stutters/“glitches” in her speech) and ended up becoming a part-time performer in desperation of a non-s*xual purpose. She really likes pranking people (and hurting them in the process), and is a bit sadistic. She lacks connection with others, but does care in her own way.

Of course, it wasn’t all glitz and glamour. The circus ran on demon’s blood. (Lucky made a deal with an overlord named Cielle where he would supply demon’s blood, which can act like a drug/stimulant when taken in larger doses, for a TON of money in return. And Lucky, being a greedy sinner, keeps his word. (Also, if he doesn’t keep his word, he dies. Just as if Cielle didn’t keep her word, she’d die.) it’s called a soul-binding contract, and they’re made to be permanent.)

So, anyone who performs has to, well, kill people. They’re not told this until after they sign contracts and are stuck in the circus permanently (or at least until the circus shuts down). And (most of) the performers don’t like killing people, so their life sucks and so does their mental health, because there’s no getting out of performing and killing people.

Also, for Lucky’s backstory, he was a regular man, but from mental issues, he didn’t really know how to be happy other than the rush he gets from alcohol and gaining money, so it led to greed and gluttony. He died from a drunken car crash in his mid-40’s. He acts all sophisticated in front of the public, but when he’s just with performers, he’s more reckless, sadistic, and irresponsible.

There’s other performers and stuff, but they’re more of background characters (as i can’t have a main cast of… like… 20 people).

Uhhh that’s it. I hope over the years this grows a fandom, even if it’s small. I really love the concept of it, and I hope you do too! I wanna hear you guys’s opinions (unless they’re REALLY critical or stuff like that)

This is originally from this post and this post from my main blog.

EDIT: ARIAN IS NOT A PART OF THE STORY ANYMORE.

[dirtytransmasc]

I find it deeply depressing that every adult in Spider's life had children, yet he was never anyone's priority. every adult he could and most likely attempted to match in to. the adults he remembered as the closest things he had to parents since birth (Jake and Norm, even if they weren't acting as his parents, because Spider, genuinely, would not know better). down to his actual foster family (the McCoskers). essentially went out of their way to de-prioritize him.

like I'm not faulting them for having kids, for having a family. but Spider was their first priority. he didn't need to be adopted by any of them, per say, but he was their responsibility. he was their orphan, Jake especially, considering he was the chief of his people, but Norm as well, seeing as he's a prominent figure head of the clan/Hellsgate.

the McCoskers took him in, but over the years, as they had their own children, he was more and more neglected. he was now no longer his actually appointed guardians priority. and that only gets worse and worse as he ages until they become outright abusive (Nash does anyway, cause thats what I'm gonna call violently kidnapping his, throwing him in a room and locking him there, and trying to kill all of them, him included, when they run away. as abuse. and I'll get back to the whole "you have to turn yourself in to the RDA" x2 speech from Jake in a second). they also didn't really accept his culture. with their resentment towards the Na'vi brewing, Spider most definitely faced some heat for being more of the forest than of humans, in terms of culture.

3 times over, Spider came first and was put last. put last by parents who know damn well how much love, time, care, and attention a child needs. who should be able to see when a kid is being neglected. who dialed to advocate and protect him from neglect (instead of calling him a stray).

he was a child and they were his advocates. all three parties failed in their duty as advocates, to protect Spider. to ensure he always had a loving home that made him their priority. that fulfilled all his needs, not just the physical ones. but all put their own families first, and abandoned Spider to the scraps of their love, time, and affection.

imagine being Spider, an orphan who can't even mention his birth parents and is always treated like he is the physical rebirth of his father's sins by half the people around him. every adult in your life has kids and seems like they're such a good parent. you watch their kids being loved and tended to and having a steady home. they receive love and affection constantly. but your fosters pay less and less attention to you as they have babies. and now your a stray to the man you look up to so much. and the man who probably taught you how to put an exopack on has less and less time for you. no one has time for you. you're no one's child. no one's priority. just a stray. a nuisance. and you don't truly belong anywhere.

no one was putting him first. children need to be someone's priority. psychology. they need it.

and then the RDA returns. the McCoskers leave, Spider is expected to leave everything he has ever known, to join the very people he hates and has been trying so hard since he could understand what it meant, to prove that he wasn't like them. Jake, the man he once looked up to, was telling him to leave. sending him away. stripping him of the little amount of family he could somewhatly claim, that being his siblings.

once again, Jake is his chief, should be looking out for him. not even as a father, per say, but as his duty to Spider as his chief. a chief should never be sending away his most vulnerable ward, a child he should consider his own (as all of his clans children should be one with his own children), to the opposing enemy force.

this happens again when they're running away, Jake tells him ever more directly to hide in the forest alone until the RDA stops shooting at everything that moves and then turn himself in so he can his own children could run. once again, putting him last, instead of protecting all of them.

then for a year, Spider has no family. no one. the McCoskers are gone and no one has stepped up to bat for him. he's 15/16 and alone. his the big sibling to the Sully's. those kids are all he has, but they aren't really looking out for him. he's looking out for them. cause he's the oldest. that's just how it is. he is one with the clan. lives with them. does chores. watches out for his siblings, the whole nine. but Jake isn't doing his duty of watching out for his ward. he is once again giving and giving and giving, and not receiving.

and then he is taken, he is taken, and while Jake may not have had the means to go back for Spider, or been able to take the risk of going back for him, he abandons him without a thought for his safety, and puts his children first. it's the language and attitude be poses towards the situation that is wild to me. he has every right to be worried about his children, but he could not spare Spider an ounce of concern, even knowing the danger he was in, and is more concerned about him spilling details then anything else. Spider is, once again, not his first, second, or even third priority. he is a means to an end. a necessary loss.

people only care about Spider when there's nothing else they can put before him.

You know? It would be cool if you could make a crossover between sully family and tonowary family with an old human reader who is immortal and has problems with his memory, forgetting very easily a chit chat he had a few minutes ago and can create ice like the ice king from adventure time and is not respected by any other skypeople who always make fun of him in secret and mock him but the reader leaves them be because with great powers come great responsability.

since this basically ice king persona, I watched a few compilations from that good ol' cartoon. Hope its good! Enjoy!

P.S: He is a she in this! Fem reader!

Zerok

Memories can be either precious or haunting. Depending on the person and circumstances. Some people prefer to lose them, some desire to keep every single fragment. But some are a bit unfortunate, they simply forget. Not like it's their choice, just bad luck. 

Zerok, as many collectively call her, is the oddest person of the human bunch. Yes, everyone is weird in their own way but zerok is just on another level. Many have asked her for something, or if she can assist but zerok….

“What? But I thought you said you wanted the red wires?.....Oh that makes sense, red wires mean KABOOM!! And everyone would be dead. Yeah, you're right, green wires next time!” 

“I wish I had a beard….like a really, really, reaaaaaaaaally long beard. Why? So I can fly! Fly fly so high! And stuff my snacks in it too!” 

“Oh hi! Nice to meet you! I am….uuuuuhhhh…….” 

“Phew, thank you so much lo’ak” norm sighs in relief. Lo’ak climbs down as he just cleared out the vents. Maintaining the airways is a high task that cannot be overlooked if they want to breathe properly. 

“Anytime, uncle” lo’ak replies. 

Norm goes to a monitor to check the air quality that is now flowing. 

“All systems are good. Perfect” 

Satisfied with the current status, they both relax as they feel the cool air enter the room. 

“How are the coolers holding? I'm surprised it's still holding up all these years?” Lo’ak asks curiously. Coolers in the hellsgate has been shut down in certain areas since they are not in use. It does help to save energy and make it easier to take care of the main cooler tanks. 

“So far so good I guess. Zerok takes care of them, "Norm replies. 

“Huh!? Who said my name!? Was it you glob…?” 

Speak of the devil. Or in this case, speak of the ice queen, since now the room felt extra chilly the second she entered. 

“Dad?” lo’ak walks up to his dad with something on his mind. 

“What's up?” Jake replies. 

Lo’ak takes a moment before asking his question, “why is zerok so……odd?”. Didn't want to say weird as it might come off mean when it's not his intention. 

Jake takes a moment, scratching his head, “I honestly don't know. She was already like that when I arrived here. To be honest, she is kind of ok with me. Though she does things that are a bit out of hand…like calling everyone gunter. I have no idea why. I used to remind her, norm, max, everyone tries to remind her of our names. On lucky days she will call anyone by their names, but on not so lucky days, everyone is gunter”

Jake remembers on his first day at the hellsgate. During the briefing, even old quaritch had to warn everyone.

 “And if an old weird lady calls you gunter, just roll with it. Also keep your doors locked at night, we dont need another heart attack” 

“She is harmless and all good” 

“So then why does everyone keep their distance?” lo’ak asks another question. 

“Well, naturally humans dont always feel comfortable around odd things or others displaying odd behaviors. Their senses tell them to back away as possible danger. Or other times they just simple dont like to be near odd people” 

Lo’ak thought of that over and over. He is odd himself, yet people like to be near him. Maybe zerok is a different kind of odd?

“BOOMBAKLAAAAAAAA~!!”

Zerok jumped from the third floor all the way down to the first floor, for some unknown reason.

Norm just shivered everytime he sees her. Quite literally. Its like her presence brings coldness to the air, in times that are not needed.

“Ugh, its that old hag again…” one of the scientists mutters, ready to boil some warm water.

“I'm surprised she didn't go back like everyone else. We are better off without her” another says. But norm just looks at zerok, yeah she is so weird in so many ways but really isn't harming anyone.

“Why the need to say that?” norm asks one of the other guys.

“Come on norm, we already have spider to deal with. With her around making a mess and shit, its like having a toddler in a old persons body”

“Hey now that aint-”

“GUNTER! LOOK THIS WAY!” zerok shouted. Almost instinctively, everyone turned to see a flash of white light. She took a photo, it seems. Another thing norm doesn't understand, zerok has a niche for photography it seems, but it seems in the most random moments. Never giving anyone a moment to prepare.

“Thanks!” and she runs away, the coldness leaves with her.

Tsireya was enjoying the lake not too far from the omatikaya village. The water feeling amazing, a bit warm but amazing nonetheless. Being away from water has made her and her family feed odd. The need to be one with the element is a must. 

But as she takes in the relaxing silence, all of a sudden the water felt….cooler? 

Stopping midway of her swim, she looks around and sees an elderly human. Her hands in the edge of the lake dipping into the water. What was she doing? 

“Hi, I thought you wanted it cold. Alright bye!!!” and the odd human left. 

Tsireya couldn't help but giggle, the human was odd but funny as well.

he side, trying to take in this new update of the old woman. 

“Does she posses something to make water cold?” tsireya asks. 

Lo’ak can only shrug, “to be honest, Im not sure. Everyone keeps mentioning how the air feels colder when she is around. Cold water is news to me” 

Tsireya humms, it would be interesting if she did. 

As they walk, they saw kiri and tuk enjoying some beverages with neteyam. They walk over to see. 

“What are you guys drinking?” lo’ak asks. Tuk can only humm in happiness while neteyam offers him a bowl. 

“Try it” he says. Lo’ak looks at it, was thick in paste but looks smooth as the same time, taking a sip he knew instantly it was banana, but it was mushed and cold? He offers it to tsireya who seems to like it. 

“Its good” she compliments. 

“Zerok made it for us, don't know how but its really really good. She called it a smoothie” neteyam says. 

“Speaking of zerok, has she dont anything weird around you guys? Or seen her doing anything out of the ordinary?” lo’a asks his siblings as he and tsireya sits with them. The other siblings look at each other and try to recall anything. 

“Anything and everything she does is out of the ordinary brother, even for human customs” kiri points. Which is technically true. 

“I like her, she is funny and makes the silliest dance moves” tuk points out. Remembering the few times zerok shows off her silly dances to her. 

“Norm says not everyone likes her, that she is too much to handle” neteyam adds in. Not always he goes to the lab, but when he does, a whisper catches his attention. How many talke so mean behind the old lady. 

“Best to ask spider, he should know a thing or two” 

“She is not normal” spider says bluntly. 

Everyone groaned at his answer, “we already know that cuz” lo’ak mutters. 

Spider shook his head, “no, I mean it literally. She is not normal, like by any human standards or human capabilities” he rephrases. Now this many many head turns. 

“What do you mean by that?” kiri wonders. 

“Best she shows you, come on” 

Spider leads them through a couple of halls, turning left and right. This was tsrieya’s first time seeing human structures, so she seeks comfort by holding lo’ak’s hand. 

Spider leads them all the way down to the air generators. Lo’ak remembers norm telling him how they often need to be maintained, and that zerok is the only one who does it. They all see that the metal parts are  turning slightly red, the temperature growing warm by the second. Spider smiles at this. 

“Perfect! Its getting warm” he says. 

“How is that good? Feels like we are near a fire” 

Spider says nothing more but pushes a button on a nearby wall. In a matter of a few seconds, zerok appears from somewhere. 

“Hi gunter!” she greets. Spider huffs, shaking his head lightly, “its spider, zerok. Always has been”. Reminding her for the millionth time. 

“Ok gunter” she nods. 

Quickly she took notice of the air generators heating up. 

“Oh my gloooooooob! Why didn't you tell me spunter!? This should have been taken care of since 5 megalions ago!” she cries out. 

“What is a…..megalion…?” tsireya whispers. Lo’ak shrugs, “I have no idea”. 

Zerok observes the generator and touches the hottest spot, her hand sizzling from contact. 

“Let it gooooooo!! Let it goooooooo!! Can't hold it back anymooooooooooore~!!” she sings out. And as if by odds, ice spewed out from her hands. Layers of ice began to cool off the hot spots, the air no longer hot. The generator was back to being normal. 

“YAHOOOOOO~!!” going a bit nuts, zerok then creates snow all over the room, to keep the generator cold longer. The kids were in absolute awe. They have never seen anything like this before! 

“Woa!! This is amazing!” tuk cheers, already collecting a bit of snow from the floor. 

“Huh?? Do you guys work here too??” zerok stopped what she was doing to just now notice the tall teens. 

“Uuuuuuuuhhhhh…….yes?” kiri answers awkwardly. 

“Cool!” 

“HUH?! Over 300 years old!?” lo’ak shouts in disbelief. 

After witnessing what zerok’s ice abilities, the kids simply wanted to know more. Apparently she is more than just a wacky old lady with a liking to the gunter name. She is also immortal. 

“Yes” zerok answers as she adds snowflakes to tuk’s ice crown. 

“H-how…?” tsireya’s was also trying to process this information. Immortality is simply impossible. 

“I dunno, its been so long I cant remember. But my only lead, is a prince” zerok answers honestly. 

“If I try to remember, my head begins to hurt, like a loooooooooot. So I dont remember, I forget easily” 

Neteyam noticed her polaroid camera at her side. 

“Is that why you take pictures? To remember” he questions. 

“Yuppa doozers! I have so many pictures, I even forget I took them in the first place! Ok, all done sweetie” 

Tuk stands up and admires her ice crown. Giggling, she prances around, loving how pretty it is while also cooling her head. Zerok grabs her camera and takes a picture of tuk. Her smile is now forever preserved. 

“So when is your birthday?” kiri asks. 

Zerok turns to her curiously, “what birthday?” 

“You know, your birthday, to keep track of how old you are…?” 

Zerok plays with her camera before looking up in a daze, “dang, I can go for have some bacon pancakes…” 

“Zerok? Your birthday…?” kiri tries to remind her. 

“What birthday?” zerok asks again, “I dont have a birthday! I dont even know how old I am!” 

Kiri quietly gave up, seems this human is just simply full of surprises. Even some zerok isnt aware of. 

Night feel, and everyone in the base was heading to bed. Zerok was just putting away her camera while making sure her pillows were extra crunchy with frost. 

“Dabadoo, dadaboo, yada yada, dooooooo~!!” she sings a random melody. Going back and forth to put away things, she stops to notice something. 

“Oh what a pretty blue girl, wonder where she got that crown” she says to herself. Seeing a picture of a na’vi child wearing a pretty ice grown. Around that photo were other na’vi kids. 

“Alright, all set for some sleeps! Tomorrow I should check on spunter, I wonder if he ate anything this month. I know! Ice, who doesnt love ice” 

Climbing onto her bed, zerok gets into a comfy position and lets sleep take over. While her eyes remained wide open, snoring away into the dark abyss that is called her inner mind. 

aaaaaaaaaand that is it for this one! Got stuck on what else to put but hopefully its good! Until next time! See ya!

Zerok = remember

How I imagine, Norm, Trudy and Jake would entertain themselves in that camp, out of Hellsgate.
