OOOH!that ghost kid thing with the digital circus performers was amazing!!! I cant resist but ask.but can you make a headcanons of the performers would react if spirit kid Y/n is more absent today and suddenly after a while appear with more blood than usual..static noise around them..and points at the group and is like “I know who killed me now…” and poofs again away?? they found out who but as like a scare they prank the characters by making them think maybe one of them did..

I feel evil so- XD

Hope u have a good day!!

I'm glad you liked the hcs! Spooky season may be over, but I'm definitely not done writing spooky content 👻

.........

Jax

He blinks, and then immediately turns directly to Gangle.

"Oh Gangle, I knew it was you all along. Tsk, tsk." He shakes his head, putting on the cheekiest grin as the ribbon gal cries out that she didn't do anything.

He knows you were just pranking all of them, although he does wonder who really murdered you and how you figured it out.

Given how much you've been disappearing lately, he's sure that it's only a matter of time before your spirit moves on.

Or maybe...you were cursed to forever live inside this game since you had no body to return to.

Then again, he's not sure if any of them do...

All he knows is that during the times he does see you with the group, you seem happier (although the blood and static noises are still prevalent and aren't any less unsettling to see/hear).

Maybe you've already made peace with your existence after solving this huge mystery, content with making dark jokes to cope.

Pomni

At first she's happy..

Then she's utterly terrified once it sinks in that you didn't specify who exactly murdered you.

All you did was point to the group like you were accusing one of them before disappearing for the remainder of the day.

This poor jester can't remember anything for the life of her....so she can't help wondering if she might've been your killer.

You did arrive not long after she did.

After Jax points this out, she's 100% convinced it was her.

Maybe she unknowingly killed you while wearing the headset and this was some sort of eternal punishment.

It's a thought that keeps her up all night (not that she needed sleep to survive, but she was quite exhausted in the morning).

You do end up visiting her to say it was just a little prank. It wasn't anybody in the group and you didn't mean to freak her out this badly.

That brings her a lot of relief.

Although she's not a fan of your morbid humor (not that she'll say anything about it, though).

Gangle

The second you vanish after revealing you knew your killer, everyone looks at each other in confusion

"Th-They didn't say who, though, did they...?" She mutters.

"Right, because they know it was you, Gangs." Jax remarks, causing her to freeze.

She's outright horrified he would even remotely suggest that.

Poor girl's scrambling to justify how she couldn't have possibly killed you when she's been stuck in the game longer than you.

Imagine her awkwardness as Jax openly states that he was in fact kidding around..

He also expresses his doubts she'd even be capable of murder...as he recounts her crying over accidentally stepping on a digital ladybug.

She's not sure whether to take that as a compliment or not.

Gangle only fully calms down once you go to her personally and reassure her you were just pranking the group.

Although you'll haunt Jax as payback for trying to throw her under the bus.

Zooble

They just turn to the group and sigh.

"Okay, who did it? Because they've officially given me the f***ing creeps popping in and out like that."

She's strangled Jax on a number of occasions, so they are very much capable of committing violence...

But she has her doubts since you still hang around the group.

Alongside Jax, she quickly sees through your little joke and rolls their eyes when you admit that it was indeed a prank.

She can tolerate your dark humor, knowing you can't help it given your "spooky" theme.

They suspect Caine murdered you since he seemed most alarmed by your arrival. Plus you never spoke to him much.

But no, he actually helped you track down your killer--who abstracted the second they set foot inside the game and got thrown into the cellar.

Zooble never thought she'd see the day where they were actually impressed at Caine's actions.

Kinger

Like Pomni and Gangle...he's probably gonna overthink it and grow distrustful of the others, wondering who did it.

You seemed quite confident and serious in your confession---and scary as hell, too.

He proposes they all discussed it at the dinner table and hold a vote on who to cast out (sorta like a certain video game with a name that sadly slips by him).

Ironically, he refuses to say anything and just....stares uncomfortably at Gangle the entire time.

But before any of the talks could end in fighting or her getting sacrificed to the Gloink Queen...you show up again, looking calmer and less bloody than before.

When you reveal it was just a little prank, Kinger sighs in relief.

"Good heavens, you nearly gave me a second heartattack, [y/n]! Why didn't you just say so?"

"...thought it would be funny."

"........"

"........."

"......AH!! GH-GHOST!!!"

"Aaaand there's "heartattack #2, ladies and gentleman," Jax shakes his head, kicking his feet onto the table with an amused smile.

Ragatha

She's genuinely happy to hear that you knew who your killer was...

Although before she can ask you who, you disappear without warning.

Judging from the way you acted, you were accusing one of them...yet you didn't signal out anybody in particular.

She knows that she couldn't have possibly done it.

So she spends most of the day trying to calm down Pomni and the others (but mostly Pomni) who think they might've somehow accidentally killed you.

It begins to stress her out a little, so she searches for you, and you prank her with something silly.

After making her laugh, you use that opportunity to explain that you were joking with the group earlier, reassuring her that it wasn't any of them and the killer had already abstracted.

Her face falls flat as she realizes you just wanted to see how they would all react.

"[Y/n], that's just...mean." She frowns. "Pomni was freaking out all day, you know."

"Tell her I didn't mean any harm...I guess..nobody here understands my humor."

"I mean I do, but dark humor is more Zooble's and Jax's shticks."

"....true. My bad, Rags."

".....it's okay, dear." She sighs, unable to stay mad at you forever. "I'm just glad you didn't drive yourself insane trying to find them."

mp100 horror fic recs 👻🎃

For a while now I've been thinking about mp100's amazing horror potential and how it really doesn't get enough attention. SO! For the spooky season why don't you settle down with a nice scary story ;D

All of these fics are complete and have no shipping. I've only linked 1 fic per author so this list doesn't get bloated, but all of these wonderful authors have other fics just waiting for you to read them ❤ Some definitely freaked me out more than others, but I'm not gonna give any particular ratings since "scary" is so subjective. All fics are properly tagged and you know your own limits better than I do.

Also feel free to add on your own recs!! My general reading preferences and parameters when making this list is only a small sampling, so please share any and all of your favs ❤ Hope you enjoy!

If you see an "N/A" instead of a Tumblr UN that means there wasn't one linked in either the fics' notes or author's bio. If you know the author or are the author yourself feel free to let me know so I can edit the post :] And now in no particular order I present:

The Immeasurable Dark: @tinkertoysdamn Immediately breaking my own "no ships" rule just this once because I can't resist a good House of Leaves inspired story! If you've read HoL is you know what's up. If not expect a fucked-up house and impossibly large spaces, funky text formatting and footnotes, maybe a minotaur. Ship featured is background established serirei.

a pilgrimage: @tooomuchtofu Divine Tree arc bad ending. Told from the PoV of an unnamed worshiper on their first visit to "the capital" aka an overgrown Seasoning City. Uses second person pov wonderfully to build the dread.

And Who Is Killing Me?: @sammisafetypin Koyama beats the shit outta Mob a little harder than in canon, hospitalizing him and delaying the 7th Division rescue arc by [TIME NOT FOUND]. The Awakening Lab kids are so minor I tend to forget they even exist, but oh my god does this author make you care about them! This fic is written with great suddenly swapping PoVs that keep you feeling off kilter without making you lose track of the story. It's the longest fic on this list by far but 100% worth every second of it. A real gut punch.

Adoration: (N/A) The Divine Tree takes a particular interest in Reigen. I don't think I've ever seen anyone properly touch on how creepy the Psycho Helm constructs themselves are like this fic has. God, those things freak me out so much. Features "shipping" in the sense of a sentient broccoli becoming fixated on a guy. Keep in mind that the Psycho Helms look like Mob if you think that'll squick you out, but for me personally it added to the horror.

Similarities: (N/A) Reigen receives a fucked up email. Ends on the sillier side, but BOY is that email fucked up!

The Water Ran Clean: @bandtrees A Mogami-mentors-Mob AU and a damn fine one at that. Love the sort of fragmented style it's written in, and the exploration of Mogami's fucked up moral code is great. There's some Choice viscerally described imagery here 👌👌 Features a drawing of Mob covered in blood just in case that freaks you out; but worry, it's not his :]

An Outlier Among a Sea of Common Denominators: @hebezunet A rewrite of the early Divine Tree arc that asks the question we've all been too scared to consider: What if the brainwashing was like cordyceps? In particular I want to highlight the opening scene where after eating the broccoli powder cookies Teru has to physically rip florets out of his body to resist being brainwashed. Very gnarly stuff.

Prison Surveillance: (N/A) Touichirou was a very bad boss so Hatori pulls a The Ring to torment him in Psychic Supermax Prison. Was written pre-season 3 so Hatori doesn't work for the government.

Stairs: (N/A) Reigen and Mob have a job in the woods. There are some stairs. Inspired by an r/nosleep story which the author links to if you'd like to check that out as well.

Fight, Flight, or Fraud: @cowardlybean So everyone's got a really specific supernatural fear, right? Something that could absolutely never happen in real life but when you see it in media it freaks you the fuck out? Mine is someone I know being killed and replaced by an evil doppelganger and I'm the only one who knows. I've not seen anything since The Magnus Archives that's properly captured that fear like this fic, which is some of the highest praise I can bestow.

In Quicksand: @ghoststrawberries Reigen catches a nasty cold and by that I mean he gets possessed. Very fun the way Reigen's train of thought and feeling shifts around as the evil spirit tries to influence him while he's unconsciously resisting it. The scene where the gang realizes Reigen's been possessed is a real "OOOOOH, SHIT!!!" moment, but I won't spoil ;D

Playing Human: (N/A) Espers and psychic powers might not be real but spirits are. Poor baby Mob is a ghost possessing his own dead body. Features Dimple as the bad guy.

Mithridatism: If I may be so self-indulgent to list one of my own fics here :3 Absorbing evil spirits while still alive was actively killing Mogami and I wanted to dig into that! Features my Signature™ (lol) "HEY, DON'T EAT THAT!!" style of body horror.

👻 A Night Visit 👻

by SH Helawy, Palestine

[translated from arabic by: Jonathan Wright]

Every night my father took the path from the cemetery to our house. I could hear his footsteps in the garden. I pretended to be asleep while he looked for the stick that he used to hide in my closet. I left the door open for him and played an amusing game with him – he left his eyes in his grave and every time I hid his stick in a different place.

I watched him with half an eye until he gave up. Then he curled up on the floor, miserable and tired. I got out of bed, took his hand and walked him back to the cemetery gate before the people of the house woke up. He walked through the gate confidently and with assurance, and I watched him from a short distance as he disappeared among the graves.

I’d never thought of getting rid of the stick—by throwing it in the river, for example, or breaking it on the garden wall. On the contrary, I’d taken extra care of it since my father’s night visits began. After each visit I got rid of one of the scars he had given me with it. I had one on my right shoulder, one on my left leg, and many small scars here and there—some visible and some beneath the skin.

I had gotten rid of all but one scar that was left at the bottom of the list. I didn’t know where it was on the skin or beneath it. One last visit from him and it would all be over and I would have eliminated them all. This time I would leave him lying curled up miserably in the corner of the room for longer than usual. I might wait until dawn or until he swallowed his pride and asked me openly to escort him back to his grave before the sun came up.

But he didn’t come for three nights. His absence made me very anxious. Had he caught on to the game? Or had he given up hope of finding his stick?

On the fourth night I decided to look for him. Maybe he had lost his way or was having a long doze in his grave. But this would be his last visit to us and then I would leave his stick on top of his grave and he wouldn’t bother walking around at night dead and blind.

At two o’clock in the morning I left my room quietly, taking care not to wake my mother, who leaves the door of her bedroom ajar. Then I crossed the living-room and the garden and made my way towards the cemetery. I didn’t think about how I was going to persuade my father to visit us for one last time. I didn’t have any particular plan in mind. But what dead person doesn’t hope to be invited out for a walk at night so that they can breathe cool refreshing air?

At the cemetery gate I spotted two shadows moving in the distance. I couldn’t make out their features in the dark. I went closer slowly and watched them from behind a large tree. It was my mother laying into my father with the stick. My father was trying to avoid her blows but he wasn’t moving from where he was or making any noise.

From my hiding place I heard her say, “You bastard, I told you not to hit him on the head. Don’t hit him on the head or you’ll kill him.”

I felt my head and found a deep wound covered with dried blood.

A few minutes later the two of them were making their way towards the house with tired and heavy steps.

I went through the cemetery gate and disappeared among the graves sunk in darkness.

Can You Hear It?

Summary: Things are a little weird in the Min household after Soojin’s visit to the temple

Pairing: Yoongi x OC

WC: 2.1k

Warning: talk about the paranormal/ supernatural stuff, OC is very pregnant and has a lot of aversion to foods, OC goes into labour A/N: this is my contribution to @thebtswritersclub October’s project, with the prompt ‘spooky’ 👻 (I hope it’s spooky enough, I try not to be too in your face with the paranormal stuff- eek!) Also, this was written in one sitting, completely unedited and unbetaed, apologies for any errors!

 ~Part of the Domestic Yoongi Series~

2:40am

You wake up with an ache on your back. Sighing, you reposition yourself in the bed, struggling to find a comfortable position. It does not help at all that your dreams have become even more vivid and stranger- why would you dream of doing a bank heist with Taehyung of all people- now that you’re in the last stage of your pregnancy.

“Oof, calm down in there, buddy,” you rub your large belly, trying to soothe the active baby inside. “I know there isn’t much space left, but can you please sleep when I sleep, hmm?”

After a few more kicks and elbows, things settle down a little. You glance to your right, and your husband is still sleeping undisturbed, his cheeks a little puffy and his snores sounding like little cat purrs. You smile at the sight.

Then you hear it. A humming of some sort, and you remain still to hear it better. Is it coming from the humidifier? No, it doesn’t sound like it comes from a machine, it sounds a little more… melodic? It is so faint though, and after a few seconds you wonder if you are imagining it. 

Another kick breaks you out of your thoughts. 

“Okay, okay, I’m going back to sleep,” you mumble while patting your belly. “Let’s have kimchi jigae for breakfast tomorrow, hmm? You’d like that?”

The quiet that follows tells you your son absolutely loves the idea.

6:30pm

You are absolutely convinced men are a pain in the ass even before they are born. 

You breezed through your first pregnancy. Morning sickness still lasted a whole trimester, but once it passed, your life was back to normal. Well, as normal as it could be with a human growing in you. But it was easy. You ate as usual, you worked as usual, you exercised as usual.  This time however, you are tired all the time. You are gassy all the time. You have heartburn after every bite of food you consume. And speaking of food, the list of what makes you sick keeps growing by the week. Yup, men. They do give you a hard time right from conception.

“No, I can’t eat white colored food.”

Jimin blinks at you as he takes the plate of mandu away. You’re pretty sure you hear Taehyung whisper “more for us then” at the other end of the table.

“Fried chicken?” Namjoon offers.

You sniff. “I can smell the frying oil, it’s going to make me sick.” And so off the chicken goes, away from you. 

“You can’t even smell the oil in this,” Jungkook brings the plate of fried chicken to his nose, before opening another container. “Bulgogi?”

“No,” you shuffle in your seat, your lower back is killing you, “too sweet.”

“What on earth do you eat?” Jin shrieks. “Come on guys, what other foods did we get? Okay, how about this, I know for sure you had this before. Jjampong?”

“I had that yesterday.” You scrunch your face, but before Jin can whine, you point at a container near where Taehyung is sitting. “What’s in that one?”

Taehyung hesitates. “Uh, burger and fries?”

“It’s well done, right? I’ll have that.” You gesture for the box to be passed to you. Taehyung looks around with a despondent look on his face, but he gives it to you in the end.

“That’s even greasier than the fried chicken, Noona.” Jungkook pipes in.

“So?” You take the first bite of the burger and immediately know you will regret it. The heartburn is going to be a hellish one. But, who cares. It’s the only food from the parade of foods that does not make you sick at first sight.

“Let her eat whatever she wants,” your husband finally sits down next to you, his hand automatically on your lower back, massaging it. “She’ll be stuck with confinement food soon, so let her enjoy this as much as she can.”

You smile triumphantly at the men around your dining table. Men are a pain in the ass, but definitely not your Min Yoongi. 

“So, funny story,” you say after swallowing a mouthful of fries, “our mothers took Soojin to the temple yesterday. You know, to pray for smooth delivery and all that since I’m pretty much due to pop anytime now. And guess what? A monk there told them that she has guardians.”

“Oh really? Like angels?” Taehyung asks.

“Yeah, something like that. He said he could see two figures with her. One is dressed like a warrior and the other a scholar.” You giggle, finding the whole thing amusing. “And, she’s gotten to calling them Warrior Kim and Scholar Park.”

Jimin beams and sits up straighter. “Well, we know where Scholar Park is from. The question is, who inspired Warrior Kim?”

“Definitely me. She watched that Dalbang episode, the BTS Village in Joseon era. So yes, Warrior Kim is me.” Taehyung declares proudly before giving Jimin a high five.

“Wait, what makes you think Soojin named her guardians herself? It could be that those are their real names.” Namjoon interrupts.

“What, like they talked to her and introduced themselves to her?” Hoseok asks nervously.

You shrug. “She’s drawn them, like they’re her new imaginary friends. And yes Tae, she definitely took inspiration from that Dalbang episode. She drew Warrior Kim wearing blue clothes, just like the one you wore.”

“Can they really talk to her though?” Yoongi ponders.

“It’s pretty cool to have a warrior AND a scholar as your guardians.” Jungkook nods his head, seemingly in deep contemplation while he devours the fried chicken. 

Now that all seven men have something to say about your daughter’s new supernatural friends, you drown out the conversation around you. You place the box of fries on your belly- your makeshift table- and lean back in your chair to watch your husband and his brothers, bickering, laughing, and teasing each other. It is nice. You feel very content.

Then you hear it again, the humming. It’s a little louder this time, and you know for sure that this is not your imagination. You struggle to sit up in your chair, and your movement must have alerted Yoongi.

“Babe, what is it?”

“Do you hear that?”

The table falls silent immediately. 

“The humming? Do you hear it?”

Everyone seems to hold their breath for a few seconds. You look around. The humming is so clear in your ears and yet no one else seems to be able to hear it.

“Humming? I don’t hear anything.” Yoongi finally says.

“Really?” You turn to your husband, then to the other men on the table. “You don’t hear anything at all?”

They shake their heads.

“Maybe it’s the fridge?” Jin tilts his head.

“No, no, definitely not the fridge. It’s not mechanical. It’s melodic, like someone humming a song.”

Everyone turns to Hoseok immediately. “Were you humming something?” Namjoon asks. Hoseok shakes his head.

“He was making those boing-boing noises, but definitely not humming.” Jimin asserts.

“Am I the only one who hears it? I’ve been hearing it since yesterday, almost non-stop. Yoongs, you don’t hear it at all?”

“What does it sound like? Can you hum it to us?” Yoongi’s hand is on your back again, caressing it. You wonder if you look as flustered as you feel.

You try your best to replicate the melody, and you pout as the men shake their heads again. “Seriously, you guys don’t hear anything?”

More headshaking. This is starting to get you. The humming is not really annoying, but it is driving you up the walls that you are the only one in the whole apartment that hears it. Is it maybe your pregnancy brain that is making you hear things? You move around in your seat some more. Not only are you hearing imaginary sounds, the pain in your back just does not get any better. 

“You okay?” You feel Yoongi shuffling closer to you. 

“Yeah, just my back. It’s this dull ache that just won’t go away.” You wave a dismissive hand.

The conversation on the table resumes, although a little more restraint now, the men still confused by what you said as well as by the look on your face, until Soojin comes back home after a day out with her grandmother. The mood is immediately lifted, the five year old basking in the attention her uncles give her. The pain on your lower back gets better.

“Eomma!” Soojin lurches forward to hug you, while Yoongi walks her grandmother out. 

“Hi baby,” you tuck her hair behind her ears. “Did you have fun?”

“Yes! And you won’t believe what Scholar Park told me!”

You glance over her head towards Jimin. He looks as shocked as you are. 

“What did he say?”

“He said I will meet the baby tomorrow! I’m so excited!”

Your eyes widen and you force the smile to remain on your face. “Wow, is that so? Tomorrow?”

The girl nods happily, then demands to know which of her uncles has finished dinner so that she can show him the drawings of her new friends in her room. Taehyung volunteers, and as he follows your daughter to her room, he squeezes your shoulder.

“Jimin, what did you say to Soojin?” Hoseok whispers sharply.

“I swear, I did not say anything like that to her! I just greeted her and you know, teased her that she’s going to be a big sister soon, but no way I predicted when Noona was going to give birth!”

“You think Scholar Park- as in Scholar Park her supernatural friend- told her?” Jungkook turns to you, eyes wide as saucers.

You laugh helplessly as you rub your back. The dull ache has returned.

9:00pm

You sit on the edge of the bed as Yoongi positions himself behind you. Armed with massage oil, he is determined to help you sleep better tonight.

“Yoongs, listen, the humming again.”

His hands freeze behind you. “Babe, I still don’t hear anything.”

You groan in frustration and then in bliss from what your husband is doing to your back. “Right there, that’s the spot.”

“Maybe it’s just your body telling you to get ready for birth, babe,” he offers. 

“I hope so,” you sigh, “or I’m going crazy.”

“Well, hum it to me again. Maybe I can make it into a song.”

You chuckle; somehow you knew he was going to say that. So you do as he asked, humming the melody as you hear it, repeating it to him as best as you can, and he starts to hum along with you. 

“It sounds like a lullaby.” He comments.

“Yeah, it’s quite nice, isn’t it?” 

“It is a lullaby.”

You both turn towards your bedroom door suddenly, finding your daughter in her nightdress clutching the purple whale stuffed toy. 

“Warrior Kim said it’s a song his mom used to sing to him when he was my age.”

You hear Yoongi whisper “shit” behind you. 

“Soojin-ah, why don’t you sit here with us,” you pat the space on the bed next to you, “and tell us more about Warrior Kim and Scholar Park?”

6:40am

You grip the seat belt tighter as another contraction takes over your body. 

“Fuck, Yoongi, no more kids after this I swear. AAAAH- ”

Your husband pats your thigh. “Almost there, babe, I’m driving as fast as I can. Legally.”

“- FUCKING SHIT!”

“Just five more blocks, Noona,” Jungkook reaches for your shoulders from the backseat. “Just breathe.”

“I AM FUCKING BREATHING!”

“Doctor said he’s waiting at the VIP entrance. Whole team is there for your arrival.” Jin informs you. “And… Taehyung is reporting that Soojin is back asleep and that there is no sign of ghosts, Jimin is with your moms and he will take them to the hospital later, and Joon is staying in the dorm with Hobi because he doesn’t want to be left alone right now.”

“Thanks for the update, hyung.” Yoongi says dryly. 

You pant heavily. You can see the hospital building coming into view, just as dawn starts breaking. “Epidural. Tell them I want it.”

“Okay, okay, I’m texting the doctor now.” Jin responds from the back.

“Wow, Scholar Park got it right,” Jungkook continues to massage your shoulders. “We’re meeting baby Min right as he predicted.”

You tense again as you feel another bout of contraction coming. “Yeah, no shit.” You hiss. Despite the pain that is incapacitating you, you make a mental note to have a talk with the monk at the temple. Once this whole giving birth thing is done.

The humming is back, and you want to cry. You don’t need this right now. But you feel a hand on your thigh, and when your contraction has passed, you find your husband, looking at you, half-singing the lullaby from a bygone era. 

It is not so bad when it comes from him. Not so bad at all.

[#SoulOfYokai] Halloween 2021: The Tiger and the Dragon

Well, well, well, my favorite holiday has arrived!!! 🎃👻

This time and after 4 long years, I have decided to change the characters for my commemorative drawing. So here are Hayato, the Hanyō, from the otome game "Soul of Yokai" with my MC, Maho Ishinomori, dressed up as tiger and dragon, animal representations of the Yin Yang 🐯🐉☯️

Originally, Maho was going to be a normal orange tiger, but I decided to change her to a white tiger, since Hayato had to be a red dragon yes or yes, so the costumes were going to be too similar in color. Plus Maho loves white tigers so it's a bonus 🤍🖤

And well, I don't know what else to say, this year I wasn't going to do any Halloween drawings due to lack of inspiration and ideas, besides personal issues, but at the last minute "the muse" visited me and here we are. Of all the years, this has been the most spooky and halloweeny in my house, thanks to my bro @skylightoficial and, honestly, I love it!!! 🥰🤩

Without more to say, I hope you like it and Happy Halloween everyone!! 🎃🎃🎃

I can’t believe I missed this!

1) Favorite Time of Year:

Fall and Winter! I love Halloween and Spooky Season! I love watching Horror films and getting to wear sweaters and feeling cozy under blankets. Then winter! I love cold and snow!

2) Comfort Food:

You know I’m not even sure if this is my answer but gosh darn I love some good ol’ mac and cheese.

3) Favorite Dessert:

I love chocolate! I’m a sucker for chocolate stuff. I tend to have one chocolate bar in my lunch box at work at leasttttt haha.

4) Thing You Collect:

I MISS MY PLAYBILL COLLECTION ALL MY STUFF IS IN STORAGE :(( I have a hugeeee playbill collection! That and funkos/action figures. I have a small group of bois and I will protect my Funko Peter Porker/Spider-Pig with my LIFESE

5) Favorite Drink:

I totally don’t have a cherry Coke Zero problem I don’t know what you’re talking about *hides the can of Coke that’s next to me as I type this*

6) Favorite Musician/Band:

The Amazing Devil! Joey Batey ( @joeybateyofficial ) is a PHENOMENAL lyricist and lyrics are so very important to me. If I could get their albums tattooed in my soul I WOULD

7) Last Song Listened To:

All Too Well (Ten Minute Version) it seems! I also am a very big Taylor Swift fan as she is also a master lyricist haha.

8) Last Movie Watched:

So the last movie I watched was Insidious! It’s one of my favorite horror films of all time and I’ve started my horror film watch as spooky season has arrived 👻👻

9) Last Series Watched:

Law and Order: SVU! I’m doing a rewatched and just made it to season 8. I plan on catching up to catch up on Star Trek: Discovery next tho!

10) Current Obsession:

Shadow and Bone! I haven’t had the pleasure of reading the books I swear I will at some point but I just LOVE the show and the cast. I can’t stop reading Darklina fanfic oops 🙈🙊

11) Dream Place to Visit:

I want to go to the UK so bad. I wanna visit London and travel and see places like Scotland and Ireland too.

12) Place You Want To Go Back To:

Saving up for “Operation Get Aaron Back to Living in New York” as we speak

13) Something You Want:

I want to be back in New York. Graduating college in Ithaca and being forced to move back home cause of having no money hurt. I want to move back to New York and be able to work a job that applies to the major I just spent 4 years working for.

14) Currently Working On:

Finding my love for writing again. I may have graduated with a screenwriting major, but the move back to Georgia kinda wounded me. I mean, I work at Walmart right now and I have a BFA. I’m trying to use fanfiction right now to get my writing brain working again that way I can start going through my scripts again.

Thanks for the tag @pastafossa ! I hope I got them all.

No pressure tags to @courtforshort15 , @coalix , @pillow-titties , @becauseicantthinkwritings or whoever wants to join!

Eee, thank you for the tag @etherealwiitch! This was a fun one!

favorite time of the year? FALL into WINTER. I love Halloween and leaves and crisp weather and beanies but I also love snow and cold and when I can snuggle into my scarfs, when there are no bugs outside and everything is clean and crisp. AND NO SWEATING.

comfort food? Indian food has been my go to comfort food for a while. There was so much plain boring German food in Old Town (have you ever had tacos made by an old white German lady named Lilly? NO? SHE PUTS FUCKING BROCCOLI IN IT). But there was this one little mom and pop Indian place nearby that was AMAZING. And now even with a million food choices in New City that I’m exploring, paneer tikka masala and some good naan bread is still what I fall back on when I want comfort food.

favorite dessert? cheesecaaaaaaaaaaaake! i adore a good cheesecake yes please

things you collect? not me hiding my daredevil shrine so I collect a few things! I have a moderate collection of funko pops, I collect handmade or handpainted animal figures from various countries with maybe a hundred pieces ranging from a foot tall to about a quarter inch (tiny glass bull!), and I have a nice growing collection of geeky art prints. <3

favorite drink? Coffee although I’m a sucker for a mango lassi

favorite musician/band? QUEEN FOREVER

last song listened to? Where The Shadow Ends (Acoustic) by Banners, since my TRT playlist is playing!

last movie watched? I watched Nope the other night, which I’ve been wanting to see ever since I saw the trailer, and it is now in both my top 10 scifi films and top 10 horror films, holy shit that was good, definitely give it a watch if you’re interested in either genre! (And if you’re a TRT fan, congrats, this is in LA county where Jane hung out, and these are the exact sorts of scrublands she’d go out into to hunt. Just, you know, less spooky).

last series watched? She-Hulk mostly! I’m not bingeing as many series atm with all the reno, but I got time for that each week!

current obsession? WHEN IS IT NO DAREDEVIL, NEVER, IT IS ALWAYS D-O’CLOCK. But uuuuh irl I’m obsessed with finding the artist I need for my next tattoo, so there’s that!

dream place to visit? I would LOVE to see Rome at least once, although that’s not gonna happen anytime soon LOL.

place you wanna go back to? I miss Disney tbh, like I know they’ve had to scale shit back with the pandemic and the bad economy, but damn I miss it. The last time I visited was just before the pandemic happened (feb 2020) and I literally caught covid there and was sick for the final two days and didn’t get to do everything I wanted.

something you want? literally just to know I’ll be ok as things go forward. I don’t need billions or anything. Literally just to know I can have, at the very least, a nice life.

currently working on? TRT’s latest chapter!

no pressure tag: @letterfromvienna @your-not-invisible-to-me @nurisiliel @becks-things @ithinkhesgaybutwesavedmufasa and anyone else who wants to do it!
