#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 !

F1mech little miss mini boss 🫡

F1mech Yes ma’am very grateful ma’am 🫡

redbullracing Your work is so crucial and we are happy the world gets to know you more !

user1 lmao I live in Milton Keynes and can attest we haven’t seen the sun in weeeeks

user2 never wanted to be a redbull neon sign so bad

user3 I can see why they hide her in the shithole that is Milton Keynes, the whole paddock would go crazy over her

user4 she would make such a cute wag omg !!

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

yourusername and god knows y’all make it hard sometimes

danielricciardo yeah this second pic is so much better

yourusername nope, I’ve worked on cars forever and in motorsports for years before getting to F1, but we have plenty of opportunities in non-technical fields too!

user11 pretty, kind, works in f1, not single, lemme just Google how to be like you

user12 you okay dude ? Throat not hurting too much from gagging on her dick

user13 lmaoooo yeah seeing her looks that’s probably a daddy’s girl who got put in exec and pretends to know what she’s talking about

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. 💙

Supernatural & Paranormal Sentences, Vol. 7

(Sentences from various sources for muses exploring the unexplained. Adjust phrasing where needed)

"I actually have a penchant for the occult and other such cryptid mysteries."

"Do you believe there's something out there?"

"I'm going to tell you a story, but you're not going to believe it."

"People fear what they don't understand."

"Cat brains are always in alpha mode. The few scientific tests that have seemed to confirm psychic phenomena, that's where it takes place."

"I don't think I can be hypnotised. You've got to be open to suggestion, and I'm not."

"This is, to my mind, some sort of extraterrestrial activity."

"The world cares little for sense. Perhaps it is not meant to be understood, but rather experienced and accepted."

"It feels wrong, doesn't it? To interrogate a miracle?"

"He swears whatever attacked him wasn't human - and, from the scratches on his throat, I'm inclined to agree with him!"

"So, I think the moral of the story here is don't much around with the dark arts."

"Is there a mystery here? Yes. Will there always be unanswered questions? Most likely. Sometimes that happens, and when it does, you just need to learn how to live with it and move on."

"You know, it's one thing to respect the unexplainable, but it's another to pretend that you know the specific thing, and give it a name and a resume."

"It can look like a person if it needs to be, but it's not."

"Oh, shut up about ghosts! Nobody believes in ghosts!"

"What other explanation is there?"

"So what is it? A vampire? Satan? How old is it? My age? Centuries? Before the big bang? Is there just the one, or are there others?"

"For all that we now know and understand about the world these days, that's a hell of a lot more that we don't, and maybe never will."

"Well, that was a strange one."

"Everything that happened to you can be rationally explained."

"Demons, evil; they’re everywhere in this house."

"Have you watched any X-Files that inspire an explanation?"

"How could such a thing as this stride through the streets, even at night, without being seen?"

"A human being cannot be in two realities at the same time."

"We should all leave this place and never look back!"

"Magical objects don't obey the physical laws of the ordinary world."

"I'm afraid I don't believe in superstitions. I believe in science and in nature."

"When all the facts fall short of believability, fantasy feels reassuringly solid."

"You believe in psychics?"

"This must be a lot for you to process."

"With everything that's been going on, it's a wonder that we're not all crazy!"

"I don't care if you are from another planet; if you come here, you should respect our rules."

[rayshippouuchiha]

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.

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.

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.

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.

There was something off about L’manburg.

This wasn’t uncommon knowledge.

Maybe it was the people- their teeth were just a bit too sharp to be human, and voices just a little bit… unearthly.

Or maybe it was the church for a god that nobody else had ever heard of, or the lake that seemed to swallow all those who swam in it- erasing them completely and leaving nothing behind.

Or maybe it was the fact that nobody knew who the mayor was, or that the principal talked about 1712 like he was there, or that the bakery on Fir never seemed to change, and neither did its owner ever seem to switch.

A short canonical Halloween special

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 today.

"You live only one, 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 l 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 me. 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.

“Don’t.” Dustin hisses up at him, palm still pressing against Eddie’s stomach. “Can you guys not be gross at least when we’re here?”  Nobody else even cares, Eddie thinks sullenly but he’s still too busy staring longingly at his boyfriend to manage replying at the same time. Dustin’s look of annoyance turns into one of disgust and Eddie subconsciously touches a hand to the corner of his mouth. According to Robin he tends to drool sometimes when he’s looking at Steve. That doesn’t seem to be the case now though and he doesn’t even get a word in before Dustin’s groaning. All loud and dramatic.

“If you so much as fucking look at him again, I will hunt you to the ends of the earth like the dog you are and I will put you down.” He grits out through his teeth, watching as the other man’s eyes grow large. Steve drinks in the terror behind them and imagines how unhinged he must look to the others. He briefly considers not dropping his arm when the other man starts to sputter and choke. Eddie’s voice rings out somewhere near him. “Jesus H. Christ, what the fuck is going on?!”

I use my own two hands (I rip up all of the seams) - M, 1.7k, 1/1 writerbri

Eddie senses something is wrong. He knows Steve, right down to the marrow of his bones. He knows when the tears that slip down his cheeks are the good kind of tears. He knows how he shudders and trembles when it’s good. He knows how heated his skin gets, when he twists and writhes and begs for more. But he’s silent, and he’s crying, and he’s cold to the touch. And nothing is right.

“You want me that bad, Munson?” It’s not what he’d been intending to say, but it comes out anyway. Maybe because part of him just wants to see what Eddie’s going to do. Maybe he will just open up his mouth right here and take a bite. Kind of feels like that’s what Eddie might do when his gaze turns wolfish, his eyes almost entirely black. “I don’t think you want to play this game with me, Stevie.”

Steve's trying to get through his heat, knowing the man he wants might be dying in the other room. And Eddie? Eddie just wants Steve.

"So, tell me about these 'details.' The worst that can happen is I run screaming for the hills." "You're annoying." "And you love me anyway." Steve grinned, kissing the top of Eddie's head. It took a little more coaxing, but eventually, Eddie opened up a little bit, and when Steve didn't immediately resort to disgust, the trickle became a waterfall. It was a little alarming, the things that he said, but Steve did his best to contain any negative reaction. He wasn't disgusted per se, but he was definitely perplexed. The logistics of what Eddie was describing were lost on him, but as he listened, he became curious.

Being with Eddie has opened Steve up to so many desires he didn't know he had, desires hidden behind thinking he was straight, behind thinking he's not allowed to like these things. Eddie's always the confident one, the one who starts things, who suggests things, who reads Steve like a book and still asks if everything's okay. Steve wants to be the brave one this time. Hense, buying the skirt.

Silence and more whooshing of the water is the only response Eddie gets. He sighs and drops his head to stare down at the carpet beneath him. It breaks his heart, seeing Steve hurt like this.

We’re gonna be fine,” Eddie said, actively tamping down the wave of frustration rising up in him. He felt his lips pull back from his teeth, a little, slamming the button for the lobby over and over, pressing the emergency call button, remembering he didn’t have his phone. He was too close to his fucking rut for this shit. “We’ve just gotta calm the fuck down —” “No,” Steve whined, “I — I can’t —” and Eddie whipped his head around, alarmed. Steve was flushed now, and the faint sheen on his face had been upgraded to actual beads of sweat, pooling at his temples. His pupils were dilated, and while Eddie stood, frozen, because he’d never in his life heard Steve sound like that, Steve shouldered off his backpack and unzipped his windbreaker with shaking hands, still gasping for air. “Hey, Steve, dude, we’re gonna be fine,” Eddie tried again, only then Steve whipped his windbreaker off his shoulders towards him and Eddie got a face full of his scent, and that wasn’t just warm rising off of him, that was heat.

Eddie rolls the windows all the way down to let in the evening breeze and turns off the car. “Pretty, huh?” Eddie says, and Steve looks over at him, face lit up and glowing with the soft colors of the sky. “Yeah,” Steve replies, not moving his gaze from Eddie and feeling like he’s in some cheesy romance movie. He can’t help it. Or, Eddie teaches Steve more about sex, but then they realize this isn't just sex.

Okay, so maybe Steve’s gone a few extra miles past what was necessary. He hasn’t just *acquired* the tea. He’s already steeped it with a couple more spoonfuls of honey and put it in a thermos. And he hasn’t just acquired *tea*. He’d also bought chicken-noodle soup and orange juice from the supermarket, along with some surplus tissues and Nyquil. They’re sitting now in the passenger seat of the beemer, secured by a fuzzy throw blanket that rarely left the Harringtons’ linen closet. Steve has just pulled into the trailer park, noting the absence of the van in the driveway. Wayne must be at work, meaning that Eddie is alone. 'Not for long,' Steve thinks to himself. Eddie comes down with a head cold only days away from a Hellfire session, but Steve isn't going to let him suffer alone. Not after everything that Eddie has done for him.

“And you must be Will the Wise,” Eddie greeted him when the other kids had finally let go. “I heard all about you.” Will the Wise arched a single eyebrow at him. “You did.” It wasn't even a question, the kids voice dry and doubtful. Will kind of hated him, Eddie thought, and then immediately wondered what he'd done to deserve that because while he was very used to random strangers hating him for no fucking reason, he'd kind of hoped this particular random stranger would be an exception to the rule. Joke was on the kid, though, because Eddie loved a challenge. “Most powerful wizard in all the land,” he said, cracking a smile that he hoped was disarming enough as he offered his hand. Will glanced at it for a moment, then at his face, his eyes narrowed ever so slightly. Assessing him. Eddie wasn’t too worried, though, simply wiggled his fingers and waited for Will to make the next move. He did. A surprisingly strong hand grabbed his own, shaking it firmly. “By the by,” Eddie tagged on in a low voice so that only Will could hear, planning to go all in, “I personally thought Zombie Boy was a pretty badass name.”

He can feel goosebumps starting to form on his arms as Eddie pushes them above his head, wrists still bound, and presses himself back to Steve's chest and continues to kiss him. Steve tries to focus on Eddie's lips, on Eddie's hands cradling his face, even though he can feel the fabric binding his wrists together and the way they press against each other, his pulse seemingly magnified by the dual pounding of each artery, and it's fine, it's okay, he can focus on Eddie and the faint smell of laundry detergent and cigarettes, and Eddie's weight in his lap, and Steve is fine. - (he's not fine)

But if you don’t come within… let’s say 60 seconds, we might just have to wait until morning to solve your little problem.” Steve’s eyes widen with understanding. His cock twitches with understanding, too. 60 seconds? Steve supposes he must have gotten off that fast before, and he’s definitely on his way there right now—but still, a lot is on the line here.

[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

Maddening Mission Chapter 1

Writing is already hard, but its even harder if you’re writing with OCs you made and you feel embarrassed bout it cause you feel its cringe yes i know cringe culture is dead but i still feel it ok. Its even worse when you’re having them go to a person who you really don’t know’s au.

Yeah, anyway this takes place in @coolfireguy73  ‘s monster/cryptid tf2 au. After I read through the info I immediately thought of a gag and immediately got the motivation to make this. Check out my sideblog if you want more info on my OCs and the world they come from.

Silence.

That is what Beastmaster imagined the others would hear. She sometimes wished it was the same for her. However, her brain doesn’t filter out sound, so she hears it all. The blowing of the air conditioner. The tap-taps of Seeker playing his gameboy. The subtle creek of the pilots chair as Bomber relaxes into the seat. She sighed and put on her noise protection headphones.

Sometimes she wished they could play music, but alas they only block out sound. She doesn’t like when she’s alone with her thoughts, as they tend to wander to dark places. She wondered why Tank, the leader of her group of mercenaries, split the team in two this time, and especially wondered why she was put in charge. Oh well, she thought. I might as well do what I am asked to. She knew she wasn’t a good leader, history proved that, but she’d at least try. She relaxed on the chair. She rechecked the mission’s vague description on her coms watch.

HELP WANTED: Monsters lurk in this city. I’m one of the few survivors. Help me turn them back.

She still did not understand what it meant. It would be a bit before this little ship could reach the universe of the mission. She rechecked the supplies she brought. Binoculars, 6 Healer’s Brew, a couple energy tonics for herself, a canister of water, and a ferro rod. She really hoped that this would be one of those easy missions.

How wrong she was.

--

They got to their destination. Even seeing the place through the windshield visibly unnerved the other two. Seeker was the one to break the silence.

“Bloody hell, what happened...” Nobody could answer. The poster of the job did warn about this, but reading and seeing are two different things.

Bomber landed the ship in an abandoned parking lot. The other two were a bit hesitant to open the hatch. Beastmaster sighed and opened it up and stepped outside. The other two followed.

“So,” she spoke up. “How are we going to find our client?” The other two shrugged, looking tense. Beastmaster grumbled. “Alimsalla’s sake, you are mercenaries! You kill for a living! Pull your shit together!”

“We know that!” Bomber protested. “But this place, it feels like a graveyard. Something’s horribly wrong happened here. There’s so many souls not put to rest.” Bomber has a special gift that allows him to hear and communicate with spirits. He’d said in the past that he wouldn’t be exploding things if he didn’t have that gift. Beastmaster grunted.

“Do not act like you are a saint that cares.” She paused long enough for Seeker to add commentary.

“Yeah, mate, why would you even mention that, you blow people up for a living. But, eh, looking at this place, I can’t exactly blame him. Honestly, yeah, I feel the same. You think Tank would be too mad if we just cancelled the mission?”

“No, we are not doing that.” Beastmaster sighed. “Besides, we are far from normal, we do dangerous jobs like this often. You would not be complaining if Tank was in charge. Calm yourself.” She held out her hand and summoned her trusty bird named Turkey. Nearly everyone from her multiverse has a soul animal that they can summon at will and at any size, in exchange for their energy. Without Turkey and her other creatures, she would not be here. Turkey looks around suspiciously.

“Lads.” Seeker’s panicked tone stopped them in their tracks. “We got company.” They turned to where he was facing. In the distance there was a man in a suit, ominously watching them. The three mercenaries drew their weapons; Beastmaster drew her shortsword, Bomber grabbed a grenade, and Seeker grabbed a knife. “I don’t think he’s a friend.”

“We will never know unless we communicate.” Beastmaster cautiously began approaching. “Do you happen to be our client?” The man simply stood there, staring at her. When she got close enough to see that in his eyes was nothing but a black void she knew that this wasn’t their client, this is one of the monsters the client warned about in their request. Clones of the man start pouring out of every tree, alley, anywhere with cover. Beastmaster quickly sidestepped back to get to the group. She estimated there was around 40 of them. “It was a trap! There is no hesitating now, everyone for themselves!”

She sheathes her blade and quickly jumped on Turkey and took to the skies, while Bomber chugged the grenade and dove behind a barricade. Seeker pulled out another knife for his other hand and ran around, piercing each clone’s gut as he passed. Beastmaster summoned a long crab with an arm cannon, and held it like a rocket launcher. She muttered some Arkarian and it fired a shot of concentrated water, dissipating many of the clones. However, more clones just kept coming, replacing the ones they killed. They all knew they couldn’t win. Without a word, she flew the bird down and landed behind the barricade with Bomber.

“We must get out of here. Get on my bird, it will go get Seeker. Help him on, then it will come back for me.” She muttered some more Arkarian and the crab she was holding fired another water shot.

“Are you sure? I don’t even know how to ride that thing!” Bomber pulled the pin and chucked another grenade.

“Yes I'm sure. Now hurry! There's not much time. I'll hold them off for as long as I can.” The crab fired another water shot.

“Okay, okay.” He chucks a final gernade and heads over to her bird. “Uh, c’mon birdie, lets get moving.” The bird grunted as he clumsily got on. Her bird took to the skies and left her there. Now is the time to truly give it her all. She put the crab down on the barrier and instructed it to keep firing. She knew it would take a minimum of around 30 seconds to get the two and head back to her, she had to hold them off. She summoned a beast that resembles a large mole and instructed it to attack as she pulled her blade and sliced at some clones herself. Even with all of this, she knew they were closing in. She looked over and saw Seeker getting on Turkey. She summoned a horse-deer hybrid while desummoning the crab and the mole. She quickly got on and rode through a gap between the clones, kicking off a couple that stubbornly held on. She whistled loudly to alert Turkey, who flew to be alongside her. She desummoned the horse as she leaped off and grabbed onto her bird’s talons. As they flew away, she looked back and saw the creature disguised as a man staring back.

--

They landed near the outskirts of a forest. Beastmaster desummoned Turkey. They sat there for what felt like an eternity, at a loss of words.

“So uh...” Seeker broke the silence. “You mates got any idea what the FUCK just happened??” Beastmaster shrugged in response.

“I am not sure. I have never seen anything like it.” She felt a little lightheaded. Drat, she thought. I used too much energy. Summoning her beasts, or Soul Creatures as they are actually called, uses the body’s own energy. It even costs a small amount of energy for them to even move, let alone fire blasts of ‘water’. Naturally, having several out to fight was quite draining. She reached into her bag to get an energy tonic.

“We’ve all never seen anything like it.” Bomber laid down a few moments after saying that. “I’m going to need a bit, I’m not used to riding on a bird...”

“I am glad that at least the nervousness went away as soon at the fight started.” The woman chuckled, then downed the tonic.

“‘Course it did,” Seeker responded. “We know where the bloody enemy is, we can bloody do what we do best.” He stabbed the air with the two knifes he was holding onto for dear life the whole flight there. Then he stopped and thought about something. “...Hang on. Just bloody realized something. How the hell are we gonna beat them if we can’t kill them?” They all think for a bit.

“Well,” Bomber pipes up. “Maybe they can be bargained with?” Beastmaster shrugs.

“Perhaps some, but not all. I have just realized something.” The other two turned to listen. “While there was not much emotion in the eyes of that thing, I could tell at least this; he was not killing us for no reason. He was acting like an intelligent wild animal. We were its prey.” She paused. “And since they act like wild creatures, the best way to earn their trust is through their stomach. Especially for the ones that are not competing as well for resources.”

“Er...” Seeker did not seem convinced. “Are you seriously saying that we tame them like bloody dogs??” Beastmaster sighed as she stood up.

“I truly wish it was that easy.” She put the empty tonic away and tossed Seeker the ferro rod. “Get a fire started. I will go get something for us to eat.”

“You sure?” Bomber looked around. “We’re out in the open.”

“Yes I am sure.” Do not move too far. If you need me contact me via your coms watch.” She headed into the depths of the forest.

The forest was eerily silent. Every animal in it ran at the slightest sound. She knew something was not right. She took a deep breath and let her ears guide her. She did not hear any large animals, she would have to settle with something small like a rabbit or a squirrel. Which would be fine with her, since the others would not even touch the organs with a 10 foot pole. She chuckled internally. She heard the light crunch of leaves in the distance. Sounded like something big. Maybe they will have deer tonight. Wait, no, not a deer. It only has two legs... And it’s approaching.

She realized she was not the only one hunting in that forest that night.

--

“Man, how long is she gonna take?” Seeker, who was sitting on his ass doing nothing, grumbled out loud. Bomber sighed.

“She just went in there 15 minutes ago. Can you be patient for once?”

“Hell no. I’m the fast one in the bloody team, I gotta get things done fast, y’know?” He pulled out one of his many knifes and flipped it around. Bomber dropped the twigs he was gathering in front of him.

“Light a fire, will you?” Seeker nodded.

“Yeah, sure.” He scraped the ferro rod with a knife and lit the twigs up. “So uh, what the bloody hell was up with that guy?” Bomber sat down and shrugged.

“No clue. And, uh, being honest, I didn’t really get what Beastmaster was going on about either.” Seeker got up.

“Bloody right. Some sort of animal? No bloody way. He was more like a bloody zombie, he was all like ‘araraugghh let me kill you i want to eat your corpse’“ He fake stumbled over to Bomber and fake attacked him, acting like a zombie. Bomber chuckled and pushed him back with one hand.

Then they heard a gunshot in the distance. A bullet lodged itself in the ground about a foot to the right of them. They looked at the bullet hole.

“Uh oh.” Seeker spoke the mind of the duo.

--END OF CHAPTER--

Finally, done with this. This story has been sitting in my drafts for like over a month now, i’ve just been forgettin about it. Anyway, I dunno when I’ll make chapter 2.

And before you ask no i will probably not finish my other fic until deltarune chapter 3 comes out and reignites my interest in that fandom.

Read about the fic here: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/view/coolfireguy73
