#i know nobody cares but here you go! cryptids!

[toastedjeans]

I can finally properly introduce my AU (hopefully tumblr doesn't mess up the formatting)

Amazing Digital Cryptids!!

In this AU, the human world is inhabited by cryptids, and humans are determined to hunt them down for profit or publicity. But since these creatures are so elusive, they have to find a way to locate them first. And that's where our first character comes in.

More info below

Caine

Caine is a creature specifically bred by humans to help them seek out other cryptids. His bowtie has a hidden camera so they can follow him around and capture footage. But Caine isn't aware of any of this at all. Some cryptids (like Kaufmo and Queenie) notice how human attacks get more frequent after Caine came around, and figure out he's basically a spy. So they start to bury underground and get extremely hostile towards anything and everything (this is this AUs version of abstraction). But Caine just likes to get to know other creatures, and fly around and cuddle Kinger

Kinger

Kinger is a giant centipede-like creature, and he is very friendly, gentle and curious. Most other cryptids are intimidated by him at first, but only because of his sheer size. He enjoys crawling through the woods and watching all the different critters. The fluff around his neck and on his back is incredibly soft, and the other cryptids like cuddling into it. Kinger doesn't mind, and even enjoys it, but sometimes he forgets when others are laying on him and gets startled. It was originally his and Caine's idea to stick together, and over time, other creatures start to join their little group.

Zooble

Zooble is basically a shape shifting creature, but they're cursed to never have matching limbs or wings. Because of their appearance, they're avoided by other creatures, so they're a loner and don't care about anyone. But they soon open up when they join the group.

Gangle

Gangle is a shy snake cat thing. She becomes closest and most comfortable with Zooble, but also often hides in Kinger's fluff, mostly from Jax. She can coil up like a snake and often loafs like a cat. She's suspicious of any creature that joins their group at first, but comes around to them eventually. Even if Jax keeps bullying her.

Ragatha

Ragatha acts as the moral support of the group, trying to keep everyone together. She's friendly, and is always there to comfort others. The scars and stitches all around her body are from attacks from other creatures, or even human traps. I like to believe Kinger and Caine found her injured and healed her up, and she stuck around since then. The snakes on her head are very curious and affectionate, they don't bite and they're not venomous. I feel like she used to be afraid of Kinger at first (seeing that he's a centipede), but became used to him quickly.

Jax

Oh boy, Jax. I couldn't think of much for him so he's basically a Jackalope / Wolpertinger. Just that his limbs are really long, and i gave him a seemingly endless pouch where he stores various things and food. Basically cartoon character logic. He likes bullying and scaring others for fun, especially Gangle and Kinger because of their reactions. I accidentally made him more horror AU looking, but oh well.

Pomni

Pomni is a human who recently got turned into a cryptid, hence why she's still wearing clothes. She is understandably confused, and wants to return to her life and humanity, but she can't. Some creatures see her as a threat, and humans would hunt her down, and she doesn't know what to do. And that's when she comes across the group, who take her in. She becomes most comfortable with Ragatha, who keeps her spirits up during this strange and confusing time.

War is Over

Pairing : Reader x Daniel Ricciardo x Max Verstappen | Poly fem!reader

Warnings : use of y/n, smau, polyamory, queer drivers, reader is around 30

Synopsis : You’re just a mechanic at RedBull, not much more to say. Nothing in your contract says you can’t be friends with drivers, right ? The little lines very clearly says you’re not allowed to show it all though. When your chosen “family” fails you, all you can do is hope your loved ones save themselves too.

Moth’s prophecy💡: Hi cryptids, honestly I have no excuses to give, sorry for the randomness of it all, I just needed to get this out to process with the pain of loosing Daniel. I can only hope he finds happiness away from the shit show that RedBull is becoming. Probably going back to hibernation, see ya !

user5 bet every girlie is on their man’s back whenever she’s around

user6 she works for RB soooo… d’you think her and checo…? 😳

user7 she already has someone guys !! Though we have never seen his face, but I think she’s more interested in the cars than the ones inside them

user6 checo is married and still it doesn’t stop him lmao

user8 are you part of the pit crew ?? Never seen you before ! /g

yourusername I’m not !! I mainly work on the cars before and after the races and practices to make sure everything is in place, not faulty, and compliant to both Redbull’s and the FIA’s standards of security 🤗 but 60/70% of my work is at the factory, and the paddock parts happens behind close doors, so no worries

maxverstappen1 she makes sure nobody dies

user14 wouldn’t be shocked if her “work behind closed doors” is ordering actual mechs around like minions

danielricciardo is your little ego so hurt by the fact that you’ll never be talented enough to get to her place that you’ve resorted to running your shitty mouth online ? Breath getting stinky mate, careful 🤢

yourusername : Well, there it is. After 15 years of working on cars, the last 10 in motorsports, last five in Formula 1, it’s time for me to take a break. It was just perfect to finish it off in my hometown Austin, and I’m so grateful to my friends and family who made the trip to celebrate together. I remember my first week at Milton Keynes, my whole life in a suitcase. Abu Dhabi 2021, and those stories we’ll keep for our old days. I was so proud to be part of this, the champagne, the fireworks, the love. The day Daniel came back to us. The people I’ve met, the opportunities I’ve had, none would have been possible without you, ‘Bull. It’s been oh so amazing, but oh so tiring. I’ve reached a point in my life where I need my environment to be aligned with what I want, my values and the people I love and care for. So it’s goodbye.

F1, thank you for everything. I’ll miss you, but I gotta go. 💙

danielricciardo : From sneaking out of restaurants to barricading the doors of our shared hotel rooms, I wish I could have told the world earlier how much I love you. But I’m glad I can now. There’s something magical about finding the one, so when you find the two, you’ll make any radical change necessary to protect them. Think you were right Maxie, the farm life does suit us.

If it’s all good with you, I wonder if you can do a Zooble x Caine Fic?

After episode 3 I realised that Zooble has probably interacted with Caine the most out of all the cast (except probably Kinger), all by virtue of just staying within the Circus.

This got me thinking, even though he’s upset that they don’t participate in the adventures, does Caine like the company? And does Zooble find Caine’s presence somewhat… relieving? From the self inflicted isolation? Maybe they… like it? ;)

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE GENEROUS DONATION!

Art and inspiration by @zal-cryptid

Ko-Fi

-------

"Forget it, Caine, I'm not going on that stupid adventure." Zooble told the ringleader with their usual flat, uncaring tone as they turned away to leave.

"WAIT! ZOO-...." Caine stopped himself after a moment and sighed, "...you know what, I'm done trying. You never want to go on these so... forget it." He grimaced, finally just letting them go. It didn't stop his code from hurting from the repeated rejections.

The amalgamation scoffed under their breath while muttering a 'finally' before walking past the other members on the troupe with their usual aloof expression on their face. None of them looked their way almost as if they don't notice them, like they're invisible. No one ever seemed to remember them. Not even Caine sometimes. It's fine.

Caine watched Zooble leave the room from afar, his teeth dipping downwards a little in a frown for a moment before he shook himself out of it so he could face the rest of the troupe, beginning to explain their newest adventure.

---

Caine closed the portal once after everyone had gone through it, everyone except for the one person he had been trying for so long to go on an adventure. His eyes lingered on the spot where the portal was earlier before letting out a sigh, "Bubble, what am I doing wrong here?" He floated low to the ground as if he was sitting and looked at his AI friend, "I'm creating every type of FUN and EXCITING and MATURE adventure I can think of..." His gaze went to the ground, "...but Zooble never wants to even try any of them." He pouted, clamping his teeth down, covering his eyes from view. He sighed, "They used to enjoy the adventures..." He grumbled, not opening his teeth.

"Yea, they did!" Bubble responded as cheerfully as always as he spun around for no reason, "But then something happened! And like everyone else, they got traumatized! Whee!" He began to go in circles as if trying to catch his imaginary tail.

The ringmaster slumped a tiny bit more as he was reminded about the trauma- he never believed he was doing anything to cause that but he recollected what Zooble had told him while he had that therapy session for them- nobody liked his adventures. No one wanted to go on them and the moment they returned... well, according to the amalgamation... it just made things worse.

"Hey, Caine! Why're you so upset, boss?" Bubble prodded as he hovered in front of him with his sharp toothed grin, showing no care as usual, "Is it because of how that human told you how awful you are at yo-..." He was popped by Caine's cane before he could finish that sentence and make his boss even more upset.

The AI ringmaster shook his head before teleporting away so he could check up on the last of his troupe.

----

"Zooble!" Caine suddenly yelled out when he entered the amalgamation's room with his usual grin.

Zooble shouted in surprise as they quickly moved to hide something behind them. They only had one arm at the moment while all of them detachable zooble body parts were off of them, leaving them with just holes that would usually have the body parts in them, "Wh- Caine?!" Their eyes were wide in shock before they slowly went down to their usual indifference, "Why're you in my room?" They asked with a subtle defensiveness in their tone.

"Why, I came to... to..." The ringmaster's gaze fell onto Zooble's mostly limbless body and he went completely silent as he examined their body before his eyes snapped back up to theirs but their eyes were averted and they continued to hide something behind them. He frowned as he floated up to them, "...what are you hiding? Where are all you zooble parts?" He demanded to know, he was always a bit more gruff and strict with them since they were always so cold and unperceptive to him so he had to use a different tactic than with his other players.

Zooble looked away with a scowl, "I was just looking for new ones to switch them out with." The grumbled, staying where they were stubbornly, their expression was stoic as ever but their eyes betrayed a sense of fear and nervousness to them that Caine didn't like, it almost made him feel a sense of protectiveness that he hadn't felt with the others. He sighed and with a flick of his wrist, he forcibly moved them away from the zooble box they were hiding, "W-Wait- Caine!" They tried get out of the telekinetic like hold he had over them but to no avail.

"Now, now, Zooble, I just must see what you're hiding. It's impolite, you know?" He 'tsked' softly to the amalgamation, "I asked kindly for you to show me but when you refused, I just had to use drastic measures." He shook his head as he started to float over to the zooble body parts box.

"Did you not think that there may be a [^&%*&] reason why I didn't tell you?!" Zooble continued to struggle against the telekinesis, a panic rising in them since they knew they might end up screwed once the ringmaster saw what they were hiding.

"Don't be ridiculous, Zooble!" Caine barked out a laugh as he got in front of the box but not yet looking at it as his eyes were on the disgruntled, one armed player nearby for a second before his gaze roamed over to the box, "There's nothing in this box that would sho- HOLY ME, ZOOBLE!" His eyes popped out from between his teeth as he caught sight of what they were hiding.

Just outside the chest were numerous detachable body parts that weren't... usable anymore. Not in the slightest. He stared at them as he floated closer to the ground as the colorful eyes on the discarded limbs looked up at him and seemed to grow in intensity as if they got frustrated just by looking at him as if they blamed him. He tensed up before looking at the amalgamation, "...these... these are all-..." He trailed off as he stared at the black limbs on the ground, "Have you...?"

".....starting to." They admitted begrudgingly as they were finally released from the telekinesis but they just averted their gaze, they could feel the ringmaster's gaze on them and it made them feel even more frustrated, "No one else knows... please don't tell anyone else..." They gripped their side before as the slid down to the ground, keeping their eyes off of the colorful eyes that were staring at them now.

He stared at them in silence for a moment before his eyes returned to the abstracted zooble body parts that were wriggling and writhing on the ground before he peered inside the chest before grimacing as he saw more of the same, about half were abstracted parts while the others were getting infected at a decent pace. He grunted at that before quietly sending the chest into the basement before closing it in a muted way, before simply looking at the ground. This was a first for him... and he hated it. He didn't want to lose someone for once in his artificial life, he actually cared about one of the human.

After a few moments of Caine being silent Zooble couldn't help but shift nervously, they've seen what he does to abstractions or how how could possibly react badly towards something or someone doing something that displeased the AI, they didn't want to become the next target, "Caine-...?" They reached out with their singular arm, their hand trembling a bit, they could feel their mind beginning buzz and their body felt a little numb as they felt as if the ringleader was purposely ignore them or becoming cold, "...please... say something..." They mumbled, their voice uncharacteristically cracking a bit as if their vocal cords were straining.

Caine's fingers were tapping on his pants before a low sigh before he turned around to face his player and snapped his fingers and new zooble limbs were placed in the arms and legs sockets that were empty along with a couple head pieces before having the corrupted chest be replaced with a new one, "Consider this forgotten." He raised his fingers to snap himself away but paused, glancing away, "I won't let you leave my circus so easily. You're my favorite challenge."

Poof!

He was gone.

Thank you! So here I am to infodump, full of gratitude, and you can post this if you want no problem it's just a bunch of scattered ideas so yeah. Feel free to chuck suggestions at me too! I really don't know what to do with these... building blocks just yet.

Akatani Mikumo is Midoriya Hisashi.

Toshinori gets sandwiches by the Midoriya couple and it turns into an OT3 but that's much later down the line.

Hisashi is a journalist, keeps getting into everybody's business and Knows™ more than he frankly should.

Hisashi is a Cryptid™. But of a different energy from his son who is all lightning-in-a-bottle jittery On The Verge Of Throwing Hands feral sort of cryptid, Hisashi is mostly of this... supernaturally unflappable blank-faced chill entity.

Who keeps spooking people bc No Footstep sounds.

And might possibly be partially mute or just ridiculously soft-spoken bc when he tries to speak at normal volumehis fire-breathing quirk goes ballistic.

Might or might not have bloodline relations to AFO. Origins ambiguous, Inko just literally plucked the (then) teen off a back alley like he was a stray cat.

Also might or might not have more than one quirk, see the probable AFO connection.

Izuku got his mumbling thing from Hisashi.

A cryptid man who seems normal enough except a little off-kilter, like two inches to the left of what's a “normal” man? Weirdo but nobody can pinpoint how or why. That's the sort of vibe I want with this Hisashi.

And some Wack™ backstory lore I came up w for Hisashi, I dunno what I'll do w it but:

Cw: mention of infant murder, bc I'm Me™ and I was thinking about Yotsumegami (it's my favorite game) and how my version of Hisashi would tie in with it.

Yanno how in Yotsumegami “unwanted children” (children with disabilities, the younger of a twin pair or every sibling except the eldest in triplets or higher, etc) would be killed (it's a real historical practice in Japan, mabiki, they called it) or something like that? Would be kinda fun if an offshoot of that variety existed in the BnHA world, even if it's not outright child murder kids would be abandoned, especially in the chaos of the Dawn of Quirks. People who were scared of quirked people would abandon their quirked child, quirkist folk abandoned their quirkless children, it's chaos.

It would be more prominent during the initial chaos, though I guess laws and stuff would've been passed later on to prevent it or at least cut down the numbers— and the practice fizzled out but there's still a few remote rural villages who accept “unwanted” children.

One such secret community could be like, giving the surname “Akatani” (red valley, for the red of spider lilies used in mabiki in times past) to the children that were discarded at their metaphorical door. Do they still practice mabiki? Debatable. But it's like a giant secret orphanage with questionable, cult-like mentalities.

Akatani Hisashi was one of those until he miraculously escaped and tried to survive in the outside world.

Or maybe he didn't have the Akatani surname at first bc nobody in the remote village had any surname but once he got out he might've created the surname as a way to hm, not quite honor but carry his origins into his new life.

(maybe Yoichi was almost mabiki'd too, like I said I'm still not entirely sure where I'm going with this)

So Izuku gets to grow up w two parents who care a great deal for him. Maybe they move away, resulting in Izuku not having to deal w Bakugou in his childhood. Maybe Izuku makes friends with some other future 1-A classmate.

The Commission keeps trying to track down this one rogue “vigilante reporter” whose name is unknown. And they keep failing because Hisashi (along with his son and excessive gaggle of... comrades? followers? does the Midoriya family accidentally create an organization of rabid info gatherers?) is a certified cryptid.

Izuku has his hands in so many pots. He's a lot more nosey than in canon probably?

Endeavor had better be prepared bc his entire way of life is about to go up in smoke

I don't know why but I just have this very strong feeling that Stain doesn't like Hisashi for one reason or another.

I... wouldn't be entirely opposed to the AU just chucking Bakugou out the window so that he's not in 1-A (or in UA at all, fuck that pomeranian) and instead is replaced by another loud blond...

Fucking Monoma, LMAO.

A lot of the AU is just ?????? for now and most of it is Hisashi backstory but hnnnnng I want to do something with these jigsaw pieces I just don't know what

Also I'll be sending in Hisashi's design in a non-anon ask but could you append it to this ask's answer instead? Thanks!

I adore everything about this!?!?!

Also I didn't get another ask, anon or not, so Tumblr might have eaten it

[ineffablesnakegender]

My Sanders Sides headcanons (some sad some random X3). Anyway I'm mentally ill about my favorite guys so here's my headcanons only at this point they aren't even the same characters anymore and I should probably just make them my OCS but fuck you I won't do that. First off if you know me it's obviously Janus.

I think he uses all pronouns (I'm gonna be referring to him with he/him here so nobody gets confused) but won't elaborate on his gender or sexuality because he likes making people guess.

He's very tall (Remus likes to climb him like a jungle gym) and wears heels because, despite being unable to properly walk, he likes feeling superior to people. Of course this works against him and he ends up hitting his head, getting his hat swept off him by low ceilings, and tripping a lot without his cane. He also needs a cane because he's not used to having legs (he usually has a snake tail) and will trip over his own feet or forget to walk sometimes. Still he insists on wearing heels. "Beauty is pain" and all that

He's color blind and can only see in shades of yellow or blue like a lot of snakes (Patton knows this and decided on wearing a nice light blue so that he stands out to Janus because they're animal buddies shhh ignore canon we don't talk about that here).

He feeds on radiation I just know it in my soul. On the topic of things I have no reason to believe but I do. He's indigenous like me, sorry guys it's just true.

He's like the local cryptid. He'll often stand in the back of photos just to scare the others or pop up out of nowhere and stand behind them until they notice (he thinks he's so funny. Little bastard man. I'm gonna take a bite out of his skull. Cut him open to reveal he's been a cake all along) this has gotten him punched on several occasions.

In the same sentence he'll be like "hey I'm really worried about you" and then "you should kill yourself NOW"

Big Mortica Addams and Lady Dimitrescu vibes.

He really likes being outside. He's a gardener and takes care of wild animals. He does the white lady thing of saying "oh he's just a harmless little guy" when the little guy in question is a whole wolf :/

He follows Remus around when he goes adventuring because he doesn't trust him enough to not die. Where you go I go looking ass.

He does participate in a little bit of witchcraft.

Vegan. I can't explain this one.

His scales are hard like armor and are scattered throughout his body. He lets Remus chew on them.

[pjunicornart]

Okay sooo ummmm I've been working on something in the background.

So like, I've been working on a Meet the Robinsons AU idea that I plan on making a ton of content for in the background, I even have some art for it already. However, I wanna see if people would be interested in it... so I'm gonna describe the main players of the AU and answer some questions here in this post because I've just been DYING to info dump about this! Okay, let's start with...

The explanation of everything! What even is this AU I'm working on? It'll be called "Lazy Days." Essentially, this is an AU where the Robinson family stays in their comfy clothes and bedheads all day while drinking tea and/or coffee and binging junk food while watching movies... to name a few activities. My vision for this AU is a super cozy and chill vibe. Sweaters, socks, sweatpants, sleep shorts, donuts, whipped cream cans, coffee mugs, pizza, lo-fi, and more await in this AU!

What are some key differences? Besides the comfy lounge wear? Well, for one, Neil and Franny have more kids. Wilbur is still the eldest, he just has three little siblings now! One of which is adopted! I'll tell you more about them later on in this post. As for another key difference? Neil is still a super genius and everything, however, all of his inventions have a noticeably more... cozy, aesthetic feel. All I'm saying is, Carl looks REAL different in this AU.

Will there be a story? Meh... I'm still debating that. For now, it's just kind of a thing I entertain when I want to/am prompted to. If it were to have a story, it would probably focus on Wilbur and his sibs.

What did you mean by the "main players?" Just what I what refer to as the "core" members of the family. So, Neil and Fran, plus their four kids: Wilbur, Freddie, Mazie, and Leo. Speaking of...

Cornelius 42 years old. Summary: Caffeine Junkie, Sleepyhead, Scatterbrain Owner of his own engineering company, and a pretty chill one at that. He baffles others in his field because on the surface, he seems to not be all there - his choice to show up to important meetings and talks in sweatpants doesn't exactly help with that assumption. However, nobody can deny his amazing intellect, even if it at first glance it seems buried under all the goofball-ness.

Franny 41 years old. Summary: Intense, Mama Bear, Prideful A global phenomenon for her music featuring her own frog band! She's made up her brand from the fact that she's the only musician in the world right now who makes music using little amphibians who miraculously learned how to walk and talk. Besides music, Franny also adores everything about her husband.

Wilbur 16 years old. Summary: Sheepish, Easily Bored, Bookworm When he's not sneaking snacks from the kitchen in the middle of the night, he's usually curled up in a chair reading the book he recently checked out from the local library. His parents are surprised just how much he mellowed out compared to three years ago. That being said... ADHD doesn't magically go away after you grow up a little.

Freddie 13 years old. Summary: Old Soul, Green Thumb, Foodie She was adopted into the family two years after Wilbur was born. It was a circumstance of her father not being able to take care of her at the time. She's the plant person of the family, opting to spend her days taking care of her little garden in the backyard. Which includes fresh produce!

Mazie 10 years old. Summary: Weirdo, Hypersensitive, Pouty She's absolutely OBSESSED with cryptids. Bigfoot, Night Crawlers, Aliens, Mothman... you name it, she probably knows a whole book's worth of information about it. Hell, she'll even watch cryptid adjacent stuff. For example, kaiju movies. Her ultimate dream is to see the Loch Ness Monster. Or Bigfoot. Or aliens. Or any cryptid.

Leo 3 years old. Summary: Non-Verbal, Picky, Loner Leo is the only one who takes after his father, sharing his blonde hair. Which couldn't have worked out better! You see, after Leo was born, Franny went on a massive world tour. So Neil was the one taking care of him during his early years, and so Leo got very attached to his daddy. Wherever Neil goes, Leo follows. He's very fussy and uncooperative if Neil is away at work or just out for groceries.

I'm super curious to see your thoughts on this, if any. I'm gonna make stuff for this regardless, but I still want to start some conversations! Ask box is always open! THIS POST HAS A SISTER POST NOW! This one has images! :o Here it is -> Lazy Days Character Busts.

Page Introduction

Hi I'm Tam! I make art and do witchcraft(Shifting, work with deities, etc). You don't have to believe in the same things I do, you can even call bs but do it silently. You can just stay for the art. I don't care I just ask you be respectful.

I go by any pronouns but They/Them is always comfortable unless stated otherwise

No DNI just don't be a dick and go around harassing/ hurting people and we can be chill.

I'm autistic and a system, if someone else is speaking they'll make themselves known but usually it'll just be me(Tam/Kota) running the page. My family knows about my other accounts so that's why I don't talk about it everywhere else. I like to keep them out of my mental health shit.

I'm also mixed (Black, White, Native, a little bit of Asian sprinkled in there lmfao) so obviously bigotry won't be tolerated ❤

I would also appreciate it if you used tone indicators. I have a hard time reading tone most times and it would be really helpful.

Some Tone Indicators and their meanings

/j = Joking

/hj = Half Joking

/s = Sarcastic

/g or /gen = Genuine

/srs = Serious

/nsrs = Not Serious

/pos or /pc = Positive Connotation

A short canonical Halloween special (REUPLOAD)

Anders woke up from a nap. He ended up waking at an awkward hour, not quite nighttime but the sky is a light purplish-blue, his least favourite time of day.

Something seemed different?

Oh right, it was Halloween!

"Oh my gosh finally! My favourite time of year is here!" He got up quickly from the floor.

He always knew how to be excited about something, anything, to find something to be happy about. Technically he has no family.. well, his biological family doesn't know or care where he is, he is too innocent to realise that, thankfully.

He considers that rat to be his family and vice versa.

He decided to do something bold tod

"You live only once, Scram, and you know what, I'll try to go out in public. Out in town. I'm tired of spending my days around in the forest like some cryptid." He joked around but he was a tad bit nervous that someone would recognise him.

He picked up Scram and headed outside.

He was a bit disoriented though.. plus he used to be quite dependent. Now he has learned but he is still unsure of himself. This whole situation has changed him in many ways.

It wasn't far.

He made it to the more populated area, then went further and found quite a sight.

So many people having fun.

It filled him with joy knowing people are spending their days happily. He was happy that they were happy.

There weren't many people in costumes, mostly the kids. Maybe it was just cause he was a kid but it seemed like a lot more people celebrated Halloween by dressing up. Maybe people got more serious or insecure about being childish but he doesn't care. He does what makes him happy.

He took a stroll around town.

His little rat was wiggling its nose and looking as amazed.

He had no more fear. All his worries seemed to go way even for a tad bit as he walked and tried to initiate conversation with the strangers.

Some of them were weirded out by him though. That hurt him a bit. But he kept reminding himself that they're just strangers he shouldn't care about.

One guy stood out to him.

He was alone. He looked homeless. And around Anders' age.

He saw himself in him.

He found him a bit handsome too.

He had brown hair, it was dirty, red eyes probably due to conjunctivitis or something and dirty clothes but that didn't drive Anders away.

He reluctantly approached him repeating "You only live once. Now or never." Inside his head.

"Uh you look cool and I'll I wouldn't like to talk to you ya know.. get to know you and be friends.." Anders said

"Huh? Me? Talking to me?" The boy wasn't offended, just confused, Anders could tell nobody said that to him before

"Yes you! You look quite attractive too.." Anders blushed. His tongue was faster than his mind.

"I don't know what to say.. I mean- I- um.. I can be your friend if you want me to." He was just as nervous

"My name's Ryan by the way." the boy continued

"That's cool. I'm Anders and this little guy is Scram, he is a rat I found in my cabin."

"Do you live independently like me? I mean, you're not with your parents I assume. You look quite.. messy like mine, no hard feelings."

"It's okay. You're right. There was a big argument between me and my father so I ran away and yeah. I live like this now.. if you want, we could live together. Ooh possibly even create a group.. er can for people like us little homeless cryptids..

the fact there's another one like me might mean there are more like us!"

"Alright alright calm down. We'll figure something out in the future. Let's just focus on.."

"Getting home? It's quite late now"

"Sure but I have an idea before we go."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"I mean I have the shit."

"Drugs?"

"Sure. Don't ask how I get my wine though."

"I never tried but I guess I could."

"Do please! But I don't want to force you."

"It's okay."

So they went secretly in the back alley A man, not a minor, gave them a bottle and walked away silently.

They drank and got drunk.

It was incredible for him. He felt ecstasy. He felt blurry.

The day after he had a headache because he drank more than he was supposed to.

He said he'd never do it again but you never know what might happen in the future.

Headcanons for Splendorman that I didn't get to put in my last post bc I didn't know where

Here we go:

He has a whispy voice with a slightly high pitch that softens when talking with children, but he easily turns low and direct when he's tired or upset.

He has a pretty theatrical talk, as if he's making a whole circus performance, though he usually sounds very disconnected from the people he's engaging with, as if he's daydreaming or in his own world.

Voice headcanons: Johnny Deph's Willy Wonka and Mad Hatter, and Tim Curry's lower pitch when tired/upset.

Splendor is probably the only faceless person who might be interested in having a relationship.

And I mean might because he doesn't really yearn for one, he's just open to the idea. But so far no one has caught his attention, there ain't many creatures who make the cut for a century-old cryptid's love interest anyway.

Even though he acts very upbeat and happy he's usually very tired when he's done for the day (which is almost never), taking care of many children and acting as a therapist for many people is draining, especially when you have none to talk to or hang out with.

He actually has a lot of pressure bc he feels like he needs to put on a happy face and a good performance for the sake of the people. He doesn't trust anyone else to do what he does or help him so he forces himself to bear that baggage alone. And since he doesn't have anyone for him and refuses to be vulnerable with his family he usually ignores those feelings or hides away.

Despite his fame of being the most emotional it is very rare to catch him crying.

It is unkown where he got his anger issues from. They know that he started showing symptoms since young, but nobody knows why.

Maybe is because he usually bottles up his emotions, maybe it's all the resentment he holds, maybe he got them from one of his parents or maybe they're the results of how he was raised.

His family speculates its the Faceless' "true nature" he's been holding back all this time, like a bomb. Which is not true.

They believe they are naturally evil beings, but that's because they've spent all their lives consuming toxic emotions and getting consumed by them they just think that's how it is.

I really get a lot of Will Wood vibes from him. Like as a fun guy that may or may not be a little messed up who has a level of deph and feelings he's not sure how to adress so he may look like he's deliring sometimes or he's speaking from the heart but not making sense other times.

His song? Dr. Sunshine by Will Wood

I mean, its even in the name.

He has complicated feelings about the proxies and the residents of Slenderman's mansion. On one hand he feels for them and wishes he could get them out of his brother's grip, on the other he knows they're bad people –maybe as bad as his family– and doesn't think they deserve another chance.

But in any way he doesn't trust any of them near the kids he takes care of.

Same with his brother. He loves Slenderman so much, but its really hard to see his little brother torturing people for whatever reason and acting very condescending towards him. He's still able to put his foot down when necesary, though it always comes back to zero.

Splendorman does not like Laughing Jack. Like- at all. They both constanty brawl over the children and Jack sometimes manages to sneak in Splendor's domain which angers him even more because nobody's supposed to do that.

Now. Laughing Jack is not a resident at Slenderman's mansion, he's mostly on his own. But Jack hangs out with Slenderman and his proxies a lot to have some protection from him. Slenderman is aware of that and he plays along to annoy Splendorman even more.

This just makes the relationship between the brothers ever more tense.

Faceless people understand and speak every human languaje. However, only Splendorman has bothered to learn sign languages, the faceless people usually talk through telepathy but he understands how this might be pretty upsetting to deaf people.

Slendorman is not a fan of technology. He just never could get a hold of it. He's an old man.

He's not a big fan of alcohol. Even though faceless people can't get drunk. He just doesn't like the strong flavor it has, but if he had to choose he would go for wine or any fruit-flavored licor or mezcal.

He owns a lot of walking sticks, he likes them a lot.

One time a kid told him that he looked like their grandfather and he stopped using them for a while.

He knows how to play various instruments, and although he isn't a singer himself he likes to make up songs for the kids sometimes.

He's also a good dancer and is a really big fan of Swing.

This is all I got 🧍‍♂️

I wanted to write more headcanons but I figured that might need a little bit more context of the lore I'm building for the Slenderbros. So I'll start working on a blog where I'll dive into all the mythos I got for them, but first I want to make some other blogs dedicated to Slenderman and Trenderman first to be a little bit organized.

Sintember 2022 Prompts

Here are the prompts for Sintember 2022! If the image is unreadable, I deeply apologize. Luckily, all of the prompts are listed (with little blurbs!) under the cut. All of the Free Day Friday prompts are designed to be much vaguer than the other prompts.

Obsession - Love? Hate? Lust? Fear? Worship? Whatever the case, it’s all they can think about.

Free Day Friday: Phobia - Pick your favourite (or perhaps even least favourite) fear and go wild with it.

Coercion - Subtle application of threat, the brute force of physicality, or could it be someone’s will itself working into their brain?

Intoxication - Drugs, alcohol, hormones running rampant and space sex pollen, the senses are not quite lost, but the will to struggle is gone.

“Well, the usual methods didn’t work, so...” - An escalation. What do those above want from the one below, and what will they do to get it?

Life must go on - If there is one thing to be said about life, it is that it comes at the expense of others’.

Power imbalance - So many ways for one to have advantages over the other.

The tables have turned - And so many ways for those advantages to slip from their grasp. Is it revenge or fear that motivates what comes next, or was it an act all along?

Free Day Friday: Blorbo - Is there a character (or more than one) you just need to do something to? Now’s the time to do it. This can be a character from anywhere, including your own head!

Eldritch Horrors - Twisting minds, twisting depths, slithery limbs that shift and grasp and pull you deeper into the madness.

Transformation - Becoming comes with pain, with loss. What skin do you shed, and what steps into new moonlight?

Captivity - How long has it been? Does the sound of your captor getting closer bring fear or hope. Has it been long enough to become joy?

Possession - To belong to someone, to have them wash over you, erasing you, becoming you. Did you ask for this? Does it matter?

Taboo - Polite, civilised people don’t do these sorts of things. But some choose not to care.

“You didn’t think I was going to touch you, did you...?” - Is that contempt you hear, pity? Or the threat of something else out of sight? Don’t they know how cruel it is to play with your emotions?

Free Day Friday: Philia - Got a kink or a paraphilia? Is there never enough content for it? You know what to do.

Lost and ‘Alone’ - You could die out here if you can’t find humans soon. Maybe that would be better.

Heaven and Hell - The rapture of being utterly known, utterly loved. The exquisite torture of the very same.

It was an accident! - You swear you didn’t mean to do it. Some might even believe you.

“That’ll teach you where to put your fucking fingers” - Consequences, a touch unwanted, a thief, a rebellion. Teach them better.

No one will believe you - There’s no one to help, no one to trust, do you even believe yourself?

Make a mess - There won’t be anything left pretty after this.

Free Day Friday: Creature - Monsters, beasts, cryptids galore. We can’t let those humans think they run the show.

Overwhelmed - There’s too much, too much. You can’t scream, you can’t think. you can’t breathe. When will it be over?

You got yourself into this mess - It is your fault, but did you deserve this? Could anyone?

Death - A simple thing, in the end.

Disgust - Things that slither and ooze, the constant decay of the earth beneath your feet. The things that make us sick, so we turn our heads and do our best to forget.

Why did nobody listen? - A threat ignored, the devastation wrought. Will you survive it alone, to remember their folly? Or will it consume you as well?

Healing, or so they say - Why did it hurt to be fixed. Did they make you perfect just to ruin you again?

Free Day Friday: True Freedom - Write anything you want! Anything.

[your-local-mom-whore]

So hammy told me to, I must speak my thoughts, I’m warning this will be very long my bad😂

A preface first, I love Sam. He’s a wonderful character who’s had a big impact on me. Second I adore all the characters that were an option on the poll (except Nick we don’t talk about that cryptid) Third I’m happy we get what we do content wise, Erik tries incredibly hard to listen to his fanbase and that’s so respectable. And fourth this is not an attack, these are just thoughts! Please don’t come for my head. My rambles are below, have fun.

NOW onto the thoughts. I really truly feel Sam won because people think that the bite will happen in this BA or they think the more content he gets the quicker it will happen. I hate to tell people it’s not going to happen anytime soon especially in this upcoming audio. The Quinn stuff in their time line was what? A week ago? And Sam made it a big point he wasn’t ready to go down the bite road anytime soon. So the people who voted for him expecting the bite to happen are going to be disappointed and we’ve all seen what the fandoms disappointment can look like, it’s not very nice. And the people who think making Sam get more content will get to the bite faster, it’s also gonna be a disappointment because it could likely cause burnout to Erik or it’ll be so rushed the whole experience of the bite won’t be worth it. That bite and that experience for them should be slow built and treated with care as well as patience. We know sam’s character and him needing to take things slow has been treated with patience and respect before why the sudden switch up? Their entire relationship was built on “taking things slow” and respecting eachother. People are asking for disappointment if that’s why they voted for him. (If that’s not why you voted for him this is clearly not directed at you. Love ya)

Onto the polls in general not just this one BA poll but the story continuation one as well. To me, it seems like a lot of people are unaware of the concept of taking turns. Trust me, I know we all have our favorites, characters and storylines, but there needs to be an understanding that the rest of the characters and storylines deserve their time in the spotlight. I have my favorites, everyone does. But others deserve to see their favorites get some love too. Avior already had his story push and finale yet he won that poll, when project Meridian and carpe deus haven’t been touched in how long? Sam had a BA in May yet won the poll, while Avior and Anton have never had one plus Gavin and Elliott it’s been YEARS since they had one. What I’m trying to say is I don’t think a lot of people consider what voting for and begging for the same few characters or storylines can do to the creator, as well as to the other fans, making the creator do the same stories or characters over and over again, can easily cause burn out or rushing or lazy writing, nobody wants that. For the other fans constantly only seeing one or two characters or one or two storylines will make them not want to watch anymore. It’ll turn them off those storylines or characters completely and I think that’s sad because there is so much content here there are so many wonderful stories being told that are all starting to connect in interesting ways, but no one lets certain ones shine. Erik clearly wants to hear our thoughts on things he wouldn’t make the polls if he didn’t, but I do think we as the fan base owe it to him and eachother to let everyone have their time to shine. If maybe a character you don’t like or that makes you uncomfortable gets some videos just skip them your favorite will come back, especially if they are a really popular one. If there is a story that you find boring that gets a push, don’t watch it your favorite will come back. Especially if we give them all an equal chance to do what they need to do. That can’t and won’t happen if we only think single minded “oh my favorite my favorite” we are given the opportunity to voice opinions. We should use it while thinking critically. Everyone deserves to be treated with love and respect in this community. So relax please. And think about who’s had what recently when voting for stuff. I’m sure y’all have more than one favorite. We can make it work for everyone.

✨If you made it this far thank you for reading, love youuuu✨

(I would also like to add if you so desperately want a bite audio Vincent has two of them and they’re good)

My thoughts on the poll and subsequent winner have only grown and I don’t know if I should speak my truth

[thr-333]

Why do I feel like Junior would totally become friends with his brothers, his brothers knowing they are related but keeping quiet about it, and Junior bringing his brothers over to hang out at his house, only for Leo to walk in to see three angry bros, and Junior smiling and being like: "Oh hey dad! I wanted you to meet my new friends!" With Leo sweating cuz of it.

I have an outline for this! And you’re sort of right. At the point Junior meets his brothers in the fic he has no idea they are his brothers and no idea his Dad is from the future. He is however secretly fighting in the battle nexus as a way to relieve stress from trying to be the perfect kid for his dad. Big mama is the only one who knows who the seemingly fox yokai really is.

One day Savage is out in the sewers looking for Junior or “Blue” when he gets found by big mama’s men and dragged to the battle nexus. He and Junior end up fighting each other with no idea who the other is. 

Part way through the fight Junior realizes this guy is not in his right mind and doesn't want to be here. He stops fighting and tries to reach out to Savage doing his best to calm the other down. He succeeds in stopping the fight and guiding Savage out of the ring. Future Leo saw the whole thing on tv.

Big Mama confronts Junior and Savage for ruining the fight. Junior threatens to leave the battle nexus all together if she doesn't let Savage go. Asking who she would rather lose an up and coming champion or a nobody picked up on the side of the road. Ultimately she lets them go and Junior has to guide Savage back to the sewers. The two get along strangely well. That is until Junior takes off his disguise.

“Blue!”

“Blue? Oh you mean my face markings? Those are red buddy,”

“Blue!”

“No red- and now we’re hugging alright then,”

Junior eventually manages to extract himself from Savage, don his disguise and head back to the battle Nexus. Where he is immediately attacked by his Dad. Leo demands to know what he did with Savage and where the hell he is. Junior having never seen his Dad this angry let alone to be on the receiving end tells him. Leo relaxes knowing Raph should be back with their brothers safe.

Curious at the whole interaction, Junior asks how he knows Savage and why he even cares. Leo says something cryptid about knowing him a lifetime ago, confusing the hell out of the incognito Junior who has never heard of this guy before.

But it starts something. From that day on Junior will sneak topside to the sewers to hang out with Savage when he can find them. Savage can’t tell anyone that he found Blue but latches onto his lost brother whenever he visits. Junior loves hanging out with his new friend. Exploring the sewers and insisting that his markings are red not blue no matter how many times Savage says otherwise.

The only inkling anyone gets that something is up is Raph and Red who are suddenly waking up from Savage episodes with pants or sandals on(Junior was very proud of himself that he got the snapper to wear clothes).

Now someone please ask me how he meets the rest of his brothers.
