[hevexns-realm]

Vampire/demon nazo! (Slight suggestive warning-)

“Nervous, eh? I assume this is your first time..”

“Don’t worry, I don’t bite..~”

A few facts about him!

- he can swap between his back-quills and a pair of wings whenever he feels like it! (Via chaos energy and whatever he fueled up on!)

- he can also swap blood for essence/energy or chaos energy, although chaos energy doesn’t fill his energy bar like the others do!

- gothic vibes and style! (Tends to wear lots of dark clothes, anything with lace, silk, and/or leather, dark eyeshadow and liner, occasionally some black lipstick, depending who summons him and what mood he’s in! ^^)

- listens to a lot of classical music, but also listens to Steven Rodriguez (the music that finally got me motivated to draw this-), siouxsie and the banshees, soft cell, and a few others when he’s not in a classical mood, which is uncommon-

- has long and sharp fangs and nails to get to his victims’ blood easier. Then again, he doesn’t drink blood often. He also has to clip and file his nails a lot to make sure they don’t accidentally hurt someone. 0-0||

- 90% top. No way in damn hell he’ll swap unless you physically over-power him, which is rare.

- still the same old nazo we love and adore personality wise, just added on some flirtiness and a little sass to him.

I might do digital versions of the first two on the top, but we’ll see! 👀

Nazo lovers/likers, HERE YOU GOO-:

Hi! How's your day been? I hope it was good, I just came to drop by and sat I absolutely love your Carrol Ferris redesign, like she's so princely and awesome!! I never liked her canon look, so I'm just happy with your redesign.

Got a question tho, when redesigning her outfit, did you have a clear vision in mind or did it just happen while you drew it? Also! Got any hcs for your version of Carrol? I'd love to read them, it can be angsty or whatever... Just hcs that you think about a lot lol

hiiiiiii!!!!! my day's been pretty good, ty for asking!! hope u had a good day as well ^_^ <3 and TYSM!!!! glad u like it!!!!

for redesigning her, i wanted to lean more towards the fairy tale and romance novel aspects of her backstory. carol wants a knight in shinning armor to save her because it's what she's supposed to want, but more than that she's jealous of hal's ability to be the knight in shining armor and have grand adventures. she's also very aligned with the classic bodice ripper romance novels, her character in the 60s is pretty dead set on living her romance novel fantasy. i wanted her design to reflect both sides of her backstory, so i gave her the princely vest + flowy shirt combo and a sword so she could be her own romance novel knight in shining armor 😌👍plus the whole romance novel aspect lends itself nicely to the star sapphires in general! i gave her the shorts bc i think it makes her design look a little more dated and it fits my hal design better that way teehee. i kept the star sapphire itself as a crown bc. i dont. really like the mask on her. plus, it makes her look princely.

as for the other parts of her design, my carol is trad goth! i tried to give her the classic siouxsie makeup, and big hair bc she deserves it. i like to think that carol used to sneak out and go to garage shows and alt concerts held in shitty little venues in highschool, and when goth music started coming out when she was in college, she was alll over it. i think that she also likes to wear yellow when she's pissed at hal specifically and she knows she's going to see him that day. i think that her and hal are platonic soulmates. i really dont like the predator retcon, my version of carol is simply transmasc. she/him lesbian.

[freakinfriends]

music taste headcanons for each member of spiral?

@spreadeaglebeag1e/

Hey there! Maybe one day I'll attempt to make a playlist even though I'm sure it won't be thorough enough but I'm too lazy.

So other than what's already been established in canon on the long gone Daria site. Which is that Jesse and Trent got their start doing angst-driven power pop and Weird Al covers. (Which is totally never something I'd have thought they'd be into myself tbh but I kind of love it.) And that their musical influences are: "Jane's Addiction, Morrissey, The Doors (the band, not the movie, which sucked), Cocteau Twins, Zappa, NIN, Nirvana, Gregorian Chants, thunder, the Banana Splits." (Again. Weird choices but I'm into it.)

Trent: Anything alternative. Doesn't matter what kind of alternative. Mostly 80s/90s bands. Punk, industrial, grunge, rock. Other than the above bands some other examples include: Alice In Chains, The Prodigy, Korn, Soundgarden, Sex Pistols, The Ramones, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Primus, The Stooges

Jesse: Jesse and Trent have a lot of overlap. They basically share one brain cell. Jesse is more likely to include classic rock and sappy 80s hair ballads like 'More Than Words' by Extreme. (Also the Banana Splits on that list was 10000% Jesse and nobody convince me otherwise. He also wants to know how they found singing chipmunks for Alvin and the Chipmunks and how many they had to audition. It takes them a really long time to try and convince him that they didn't actually record singing chipmunks.) Also he really likes bands that have cool music videos.

Band Examples: Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Slaughter, Sisters of Mercy, The Cure, Prince, Pearl Jam, Van Halen, Whitesnake, The Misfits (Both the actual band and the Jem version.), early No Doubt

Max: Max tends to listen to the really loud and aggressive stuff. Thrash metal, punk, industrial, nu metal. Some examples include: Alien Ant Farm, Anthrax, Linkin Park, Ministry, Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, NOFX, KMFDM, Rage Against the Machine, Def Leppard, Guns N Roses, AC/DC

Nick: Nick is said to have a side gig as a DJ. So he is the one member of the group who has to stay up to date on a lot of Top 100 radio hits and the kind of music the rest of the band probably would refer to as sellout music. He pretends he doesn't like it but actually doesn't think it's all bad. Max catches him humming Mmmbop a few times and gets pretty mad about it. (It doesn't fit the era but I feel like if there was a Spiral in modern times, the rest of the guys would still have the same music taste even though it's outdated and Nick would be a Swiftie on the down low especially given his ex was also big on writing folksy breakup songs.)

[initial-lime]

To all the people who add onto my nonsense with long ass borderline manic tag alongs, I love you, you are my favorite thing ever don’t ever stop doing this.

Also can you imagine the jmart duet in the lonely in a minor key, there’s a first (false) reprise during 160 before the apocalypse starts in a major key, and then during 200 there’s the TRUE reprise that is in a minor key also but with occasional parts of the major key version

GERRY KEAY HAS A SONG. IT’S FULL GOTH. Probably something similar in sound to Arabian knights by Siouxsie and the Banshees

The avatars that Jon smites sing a reprise of their statements/introduction song for their part of the duet, for Jon’s part instead of just going “ay yo ceaseless watcher are you seeing this shit” he has to convince the eye to let him destroy that person, like he did with Helen and the whole “see this golden strand” thing he did with her lie

Also after the apocalypse ends, there is NO closing song, the last song is Jmart reprise, the fears are gone and the music has died

Ok ok so. Hear me OUT.

The magnus archives as a musical, plot and all is the same but y’know epic soundtrack and vocals (Jonny we know you can sing don’t hide from us)

Except the only character who’s self aware/meta about the singing is Melanie

She comes in to give a statement and is like “THREE PEOPLE HAVE SUNG TO ME WHERE THE FUCK IS THAT MUSIC COMING FROM IM GOING TO STAB EVERYONE HERE.”

She obviously does a couple songs also

PLUS!! Jon’s s5 smiting is him having a sing-off with the other avatars

[artthemasquerade]

Trust in me

Today's art theme is Trust in me by Siouxsie and the Banshees since I thought it was fitting for the moment just before everything in the Sabbath goes awry.Also I love the design for the Amon OVA version of pre amon Akira https://sta.sh/01d2e0ga3ygb he is very cute (thought I will say the cutest design for pre amon Akira is still the Devilman: The birth version) and I wished we could've seen more of him, maybe like in a flashback to show the relationship between Akira and Ryo better since unless you've read the manga or seen the 1987 and 1990 OVAs you aren't gonna understand the depth of Ryo's betrayal towards Akira when he does the broadcast.

Songs I’d play for Jonathan Byers

///not tik tok songs///

Wave of Mutilation by Pixies

He likes new wave, like The Smiths, Magazine, Etc

so its not out of the realm of possibility to think he’d like Pixies

also this songs just a banger

I rest my case

Don't Want to Know If You Are Lonely by Hüsker Dü

A good but lesser known New Wave band is Hüsker Dü

similar to bands in the early punk scene such as The Replacements and X

Think he’d vibe with a melancholy angsty but high energy song

Blank Generation by Richard Hell

Prob already knows this song bc its Richard Hell (Television) and it came out in 1977

Still a great song

No Fun by The Stooges

Also prob knows this song

but its very much giving me Jonathan Byers walkman

Walk on By by the Stranglers

Literally everyone has heard some version of this song

I just like this one the most

Same as the last song

Dear God by XTC

I am pro Jonathan Byers god complex

Giving me angst, giving me passion

I think Jonathan is angy boy

The Passenger by Siouxsie and the Banshees

I think he’d LOVE Siouxsie bc he loves The Cure and The Smiths.

This song is just

ugh *chefs kiss*

Lips Like Sugar by Echo & the Bunnymen

Once again hitting him with the late 80s goth new wave

easy to vibe with

A Thousand Hours by The Cure

Not my fav album of theirs BUT

Still a pretty damn good one

This is. a song we’d cry to fo sho

[dex-xe]

I've made Spotify playlists inspired by each of the ghosts and I've made these little written pieces to talk about them. if you wanna read them, please go ahead - if not then enjoy the music!!

This is Robin's playlist:

Somebody Told Me - The Killers

Robin is a stadium rock kinda guy, I guarantee you that. I’ve said this before multiple times but I love the idea of Alison trying to find music for all the ghosts that she things they’d like and he’d totally like music where he could watch gigs and festivals of people just going mental and jumping about. (I have actually written a fic here about Robin having watched stadium rock so yeah, go read that if you’d like!)

Starman - David Bowie

I feel like this is obvious cause space boy but also I interpret the song as being about the idea of accepting change. The Starman sits above Earth and knows things that “will blow our minds”, they understand more than humans do or ever could know much like Robin who has seen more than can be imagined and is wise beyond his time.

The Universal - Blur

This song encapsulates the two primary things I drew from in making Robin’s playlist which are space and the passage of time. But yeah, it’s kinda a sci-fi-esque song that I think is quite fitting. I’ve also seen a lot of discusison about how it’s a commentary on the downfall of society under the epidemic of believing everything you read which is like conspiracy theory Robin talking about the moon landing not happening and the Earth being flat.

Space Oddity - David Bowie

Just the image of Robin as a spaceman makes me happy, I saw some fanart of the ghosts in the outfits they described at clothes club and the one of Robin was so good!! (They are all great but that one in particular is super cute). If I can find it then I’ll link it here.

Spaceman - The Killers

Again, space vibes. Not writing much for this one because it’s self explanatory but also I’m writing this while listening the playlist through and I’m still searching for the fanart from the previous song XD

Run Boy Run - Woodkid

(Found the art) That scene where Robin is running through the woods to fetch Barclay in BitN always reminds me of this song because of like the fast pace and the way it would nicely meld with his like stompy running through the woods.

Starlight - Muse

Actually not chosen for the space theme (although it helps). Basically just the idea of being so far away from those you love, I feel like it goes so underappreciated that Robin is not a few centuries or even just a handful of deacdes away from his life like all the others but he is literally MILLENIA from his family and community. He must miss them so much, I think the whole “everything comes, everything go, but moonah always there” (not a quote cause I only have until the song finishes and can’t to search for the correct line) really indicates just how lonely he must be after literally thousands of year. He spent ~40,000 alone before even Humphrey turned up???

Carry Me Home - The Killers

See above answer but add in the idea of not really belonging where you are, like I said he’s 1000s of years older than anyone else and is way more out of his time than anyone else.

Dark Side - Blind Channel

This would obviously be one of his favourites from this years Eurovision so I had to include it, again I just think he’d really like energetic music so I think it’s a good call.

Baby You’re a Haunted House - Gerard Way

I wanted to include this song in someone’s playlist because, well it’s obvious, but I think it’s a pretty decent song. But yeah, I settled on Robin because of the lyrics focussing on like having to be happy and positive in love while dealing with trauma and inner demons and stuff and I think that’s potentially very Robin cause of the fact he’s been at the house for years and watched everything come and go. He’s positive and upbeat despite the obvious trauma he’s experienced.

Love Illumination - Franz Ferdinand

Basically thought to be about the idea that destruction and boredom is all around us so we look towards things that make us happy and spark love to distract from that. (According to Wikipedia) Alex Kapranos said that he would look to the bright lights of Blackpool for that love - the idea of light and illumination being important to Robin’s distraction and boredom-aliviation in the afterlife.

The Whole of the Moon - The Waterboys

Space boy space boy space boy. Kinda about the idea of somebody seeing and understanding more than others… obvious but yeah I really like the song and am very fixated on Robin’s process of growing into a world that is so unnatural to him but picking up on modern ideas through his time.

Ghosting - Mother Mother

I felt the need to include this for someone so after much debate settled on Robin cause he’s been there for so long and it’s just a nice vibe for him.

Kidz - Take That

I know this is about protest and uprising etc but I think the idea of questioning authority and the very concept of reality and looking to turn things upside down fits nicely with Robin’s loves of conspiracy theories and his unwillingness to accept things straight off but instead question everything he sees.

Cities In Dust - Siouxsie and the Banshees

This is one of my favourite Siouxsie songs: it’s about the destruction of Pompeii and I again think that’s very Robin because, like I said, he’s experienced the destruction of everything around him. Obviously on a completely different level to the fall of Pompeii and over a long period of time but everything he once knew lies in dust but he can’t escape what the world is like now.

Teenage Kicks - The Undertones

It’s just a punk anthem and just a classic, you know?? I have no further explanation but I dare you to tell me this is not a Robin song XD

Across The Universe - The Beatles

It’s not particularly about space or the universe but the vibe is good and the line “nothing’s gonna change my world” is open to my interpretation as being like holding on to the past while watching things outside your control change.

Fly Me to the Moon - Joytastic Sarah & YungRhythm

This is an obvious choice, clearly, but I wanted to include this version because it’s more modern and more representative of Robin’s acceptance of the new world and new ideas.

20th Century Boy - T. Rex

The meaning of this song are very much up for debate, I’ve never been able to interpret it I don’t think. But it just gave me Robin vibes, maybe it’s because of the modern pop culture references which make me think of someone kinda out of their time picking up modern ideas and kind of regurgitating it - much like Robin’s instant believing of conspiracy theories etc.

Apeman - The Kinks

Obvious but yeah, caveman. Kinda nostalgic for simpler times as it lists like tons of things that are shit about todays world (nuclear war, inflation, over population) and how much easier it would be to live in a society without those things - things Robin has grown up into rather unnaturally.

Naruto's characters in a Karaoke Night 🎶

So here’s a list of hcs that no one asked for I’ve wrote some time ago but never had the chance to post until now. There are many characters here, so I’ll just include one image at the top of the post and that’s all 💜

Fandom: Naruto | various

Symbols: ��� | ◻ | ▶▶

(First of all: I had no idea of which image to use so here you have Kakashi and Guy)

Genma - Will be the first to perform and will probably choose some alt rock hit from 2000s with a sad, hoarse voice (Staind, Seether, Papa Roach, Three Days Grace, it doesn't matter bc he knows all of them). It's totally unintended but he actually does a good job and though he has no other intention besides having fun, he ends up being some sort of rockstar among the people who are watching. In the end he enjoys it so much that he stays in the character even after his song is finished so Raido has to grab him and take him away

Kakashi - People will have a hard time trying to convince Kakashi to participate in this aka exposing himself but if he's in a good mood, he will give it a try. About the type of music: he will probably choose something similar to Genma, but always an acoustic version bc after seeing all the fuzz around the previous singer he'll do anything to not gather attention (he will even leave the party early and leave a shadow clone behind to deceive everyone). If you're lucky enough to witness this man singing, do not expect to see it happening a second time in your life

Guy - Is one of the most excited in the group and can't wait for his turn lol He'll obviously choose some jam with synths and extravagant lyrics and vocals and everything that’s included in a 80s song (IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOOOOWN or NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP are always a possible choice). He will dance as he sings, and sometimes he will pay more attention to the coreography than to the song. Lee will be his partner of course bc these two are twins when it comes to music taste. Tenten has her face all red of shame and Neji is sighing and smiling at these two dorks 😜

Kurenai - She has a soft, low voice that goes well with slow and sad songs so you can bet she's able to sing Lana Del Rey's entire discography. Her music taste is atemporal, but she has a soft spot for those 1960s ballads. Kurenai doesn't have fear of the stage, but neither she craves for attention, so she just sings one or two short songs and gives the microphone to the next person. Asuma only has eyes to her ofc 💕

Kiba - This boy was brought to this world to make noise, so you can expect him to sing any of the punk and metal songs he has on his playlists. Kiba is not the best singer, but he's a brave performer and has a talent to make people stand up and sing along all those rock songs of their teenage years. And yes, if you decide to join him, be prepared to share the stage with Akamaru too, which will be messy and fun

Hinata - Because of her usually soft tone, people think she's not able to sing, but Hinata actually has a powerful singing voice that shuts every mouth and makes all eyes turn to her. Seriously, she leaves everyone in shock, except Neji, who has seen her practicing before and is very proud of her. When the song ends, there's the sound of applause all over the place, and she turns red and looks around to find a place to hide. When Naruto comes and compliments her, she runs before passing out 

Ino - As much as Genma and Kiba, Ino is in to have fun and she is the trapper of the group, which is surprising to some, but not to her team mates. Choji loves her performance though he's not familiar to any subgenre of rap and Shikamaru just laughs and yawns (it's the only thing he's able to do bc he won't sing, it's boring and besides he was forced to come)

Jiraiya - The Sannin actually can sing. It's a hidden talent of his that surprises everyone, even Naruto, so when the song is over the group asks him to sing another one. His voice is deep and with a good vibratto, so it goes well with almost anything, but Jiraiya prefers something more romantic and he's only in this to impress Tsunade (btw she told him the day before to choose something that's fitting for the teenagers' ears, so he puts some effort to find a song that matches his taste that ofc relates to his books and can be listened by the kids)

Tsunade - A good contralto, really. She makes it look so effortless and that's so cool! I can hear her voice in one of those goth hits from the 80s, specially Cities in Dust by Siouxsie and the Banshees. She doesn't have interest in getting all attentions, but when it happens (of course it does) she enjoys it 😊

Sai - He doesn't know any song sorry

Shino - Days before he suggested that he might sing along with his bugs and his team mates ended up saying the karaoke was cancelled and that's why he's not here

Shizune - DON'T YOU EVER LET HER GET CLOSE TO THE MICROPHONE. Sorry but you better pray that Tsunade stops her bc the girl can't hit a single note lmao

002 Minerva McGonagall

@thatmadgirlinthecorner thank you!! Minerva is one of my favourite characters (obviously!). 

How I feel about her?

She’s an absolute legend, I respect her way more than most of the other HP characters. She was only in her 40s during the Marauders Era, which I think we all forget (and before you argue, FBAWTFT is not canon imo)? She had a difficult life but somehow never lost her enthusiasm, protectiveness and kindness towards her pupils and her sharp sass! People are scared of her because she is rather formidable. I feel like she is someone who hates bullies and they would grovel in front of her. I respect her way more than Dumbledore (yeah I don’t like him much, so bad example). She always had Harry’s best interests at heart. She was very sad to see him left at the Dursley’s house, whom she considered to be the "worst kind" of people. She kept a close eye on Harry from time to time during his early childhood and she was right to be concerned. 

She is always kind to Remus and we know she loved the Marauders and that she loved Lily and James and was one of those not celebrating after Voldemort was killed because she was grieving for them. She couldn’t quite believe that Sirius had turned on James (I think she had a soft spot for Sirius and thought maybe her fondness had blinded her to his faults) AND she never liked Peter Pettigrew because she was damned right and a highly intelligent woman!! Harry loves her so much he casts an Unforgivable when he sees her being disrespected:

Amycus moved forward until he was offensively close to Professor McGonagall, his face within inches of hers. She refused to back away, but looked down at him as if he were something disgusting she had found stuck to the lavatory seat.

“It's not a case of what you'll permit, Minerva McGonagall. Your time's over. It's us what's in charge here now, and you'll back me up or you'll pay the price.” And he spat in her face.

Harry pulled the Cloak off himself, raised his wand, and said, “You shouldn't have done that.”

As Amycus spun around, Harry shouted, “Crucio!”

I love the idea of her being a Quidditch fanatic, and especially being obsessed with Gryffindor winning the Cup!! Pottermore says she suffered a nasty fall in her final year due to a foul during the Gryffindor versus Slytherin match which would decide the Quidditch Cup winner. I love her having that strong competitive streak, despite her high morals and overall fairness, she’s dying for them to win!

There are so many versions of Minerva that I love,especially anything by @lizardcookie @bcdaily @ghost-of-bambi @petals-to-fish @wewereinfinitelywolfstar and please remind me of others, I know I am missing them!!

In  We Can Be Heroes I love trying to make her scary, respected by all, with her brilliant dry wit, fiercely fond of Lily, James, Sirius and Remus and obviously Harry. 

All the people I ship romantically with Minerva:

I don’t really tend to, but I do think of her as bi and that perhaps she was in a relationship with Pomona Sprout?  Minerva's school career overlapped by two years with that of Pomona Sprout, and “the two students enjoyed an excellent relationship” - are you thinking what I’m thinking? I also kind of fancy her with Poppy (Poppy is brilliant imo).

I think she closed herself off emotionally after the loss of Dougal Mc Gregor,   muggle and love of her life, who proposed to her on a ploughed field. I love that they are described as sharing ”a sense of humour, argued fiercely, and suspected mysterious depths in each other”. 

My non romantic OTP:

Well, probably Poppy, although I like to think she and Slughorn used to have afternoon tea on Sundays (even if he was actually a bit intimidated by her). I know she was allegedly good friends with Dumbledore but he’s in my bad books...

My unpopular opinion about Minerva:

Mc Gonagall: Did someone mention an unpopular opinion? Don’t be ridiculous, you blithering idiot!

Me: Nope, not at all, never heard of it

One thing I wish had happened in canon with Minerva:

 Given she wasn’t aware that Pettigrew was the Secret Keeper, and never liked him, I wish she had found that out and then followed him incognito in her Animagus form and discovered he was the spy and saved Lily & James. Failing that, I wish she had fought to clear Sirius’ name and save him from going to Azkaban. And failing that, I wish she had gone against Albus’ wishes and decided she was going to raise him instead of the Dursleys.

My OTP:

I don’t really have one

My crossover ship:

None

My headcanon fact:

She was invited to the Potters wedding and danced with both Sirius and James. Sirius invited her to dance to the muggle music and she stunned them all by dancing way better than most of them! She was a fan of Siouxsie and the Banshees (I have no idea why, but that’s now canon! I may be a bit obsessed with dancing, lol).

Welcome to “Don’t Go to the Netherworld!” a Beetlejuice the Musical the Musical the Musical AU.

Beetlejuice - half-ghost, half-demon - has spent his entire afterlife in the Netherworld and works as the beleaguered assistant to Juno, his demonic bureaucrat mother. He thinks he’ll be stuck and miserable until doomsday, then a living girl breaks into the Netherworld in search of her dead mom. Beetlejuice promises to help Lydia Deetz, so long as she summons him to the living world once they’re done. Unfortunately, the best-laid plans of goths and ghosts often go downhill toward sandworms, dead boy bands, family drama, and worst of all, introspection.

It’s showtime!

Hey - feel free to check this out on AO3, where I’m w_k_smith. The original version of this post included links, but tumblr hides all my posts that have links in them, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Chapter One: “It’s a Wonderful Afterlife” (6/19/20) Chapter Two: “Worm Welcome” (upcoming) Chapter Three: “Ghost to Ghost” (upcoming) Chapter Four: “To Beetle or not to Beetle?” (upcoming)

Warning: This story contains depictions of, references to, and discussion of topics like suicide, untimely death, abuse, and body horror - you know, like the musical does (though this probably has more). Know your boundaries, and stay safe.

First chapter under keep reading!

He was so relieved when the red alert exploded through the office, making every demon caseworker jump. He’d spent the past few hours cutting up the files Juno had given him into paper dolls, but even yards upon yards of multiheaded creatures got boring after a while. He magicked the dolls into running out of Juno’s office into the caseworker bullpen, and when that got no reaction, he’d made the dolls stand in crude positions and then cannibalize each other, but even that barely got a few snarls of “Get back to your own work, Beetlejuice.”

But red alerts were like fire alarms. Not only did they break up the day, but you also got to look at a fire.

“What asshole let the living person in?” he yelled, walking out of Juno’s office. He got his own too-small desk in a little reception area in front of her inner office. Officially, he was the Assistant to the Director of Netherworld Customs and Processing, but he was a glorified secretary. Most of his days were spent spinning his wheels or making the whiners who came to see Juno sit and wait until they gave up and went away.

He guessed his position as Juno’s half-demon assistant should have felt like a privilege, if he didn’t otherwise hate every aspect of the Netherworld. He got a desk and walls, while the full-demon caseworkers crammed their knife-fingers, pumpkin heads, flippers, and musty burlap bodies filled with bugs into an open-plan workspace. And the dead people who hung around had to make themselves busy wherever they found the space.

Right now everybody, demon and human alike, had scattered

“Out of the way, Beetlejuice!” the receptionist snapped, sprinting by in the high heels she’d died in, making them her only footwear from now until doomsday. She’d had another name once, but the MISS ARGENTINA sash across her torso had become a nametag a long time ago.

“Yeah, Miss A, better get to ’em before Juno does!” he said, yanking up his sagging pants.

“Care to help?” she snapped before rounding the corner.

He didn’t bother to respond. She’d asked knowing the answer would be “no.” Even if he thought it would make a difference, why should he? Sure, the living didn’t know crossing into the Netherworld meant they’d be chased down and probably killed by a screechy demon with a neck slit and horrible fashion sense. But hey. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

He didn’t see Juno around. Not yet, anyway. He was sure he’d hear her, once things went south for the trespasser.

Someone he didn’t recognize crept around the corner Miss Argentina hadn’t turned. The living girl stuck out like a raw steak at a vegan salad bar. Her face was flushed, and sweat glued her bangs to her forehead. Geez, he missed sweating. She walked without the weight of the underworld on her shoulders. And she was goth, with a dyed black bob, a black dress, and chunky black boots – very overdressed. Most of the recently deceased turned up in hospital gowns, sweatpants, Greek life t-shirts, or, best/worst, nothing at all. Few had the right combination of luck and irony to die in funeral garb.

He ducked behind a pillar in the bullpen before the living girl saw him. She licked her lips, looked left and right and left again, obviously no plan in mind…

And she ran into Juno’s office.

Oh. Oh oh oh this was just too good. Today was not going to be boring. Today might be his luckiest day of all.

He strode to Juno’s office door, walked through, and slammed it shut behind him.

“Do you have a death wish?” he asked the kid.

He was aware of the effect he had on living people…and a lot of dead people…and anyone and anything with even the memory of a digestive system. Today his hair was a dark green that verged on purple, his moss and stubble blended together nicely, and the caterpillar behind his right ear was busy spinning a cocoon.

The kid didn’t act freaked out or disgusted. She straightened her shoulders and said: “You have to hide me.”

He leaned against the door. “Do my ears deceive me?” He pulled his left ear out to arm’s length, and let it snap back like a rubber band. “Or is the girl running for her life making demands?”

“I came here for my mom. I can’t leave until I find her.”

“She isn’t here, Siouxsie Sioux. You’re the first living person who’s snuck in for the past decade.”

“My mom is dead. She died a few months ago. I have to find her, and bring her home. Well, to Connecticut, because my dad made us move to Connecticut, but then when he sees her, he’ll snap out of it, and we’ll go back to our actual home!” Desperation, denial. Maybe she was prepared to blend in with the newlydeads.

“Lemme get this straight – you, still alive and kicking, jumped into hell to find someone who has been dead for a while and bring them home with you? And you thought you could just do that? That this kind of violation of the natural order wasn’t going to rain down all kinds of shitfire and brimstone?”

“I knew there might be trouble.” She set her jaw. “I just didn’t care.”

He grinned. “Ah. Moxie. You’re pretty luck you decided to hide in my office.” He floated over his desk, crossed his legs, and pressed his fingers together. “I have a proposition. Quid pro quo, if you will.”

The kid gave him an extremely skeptical look. “You want me to make a deal with a demon?”

“Half demon, and what I’m asking for is a favor. Just a little, bitty thing.” He held his fingers a millimeter apart. “I’ll hide you. Keep the heat off. Distract the fuzz and frame your dog for eating your homework and tell the collection agents you aren’t home. And then, when you get back to the world of the living…you’ll say my name. Three times.”

She put her hands on her hips. “I’ll…what?”

“It’ll summon me. So I can be a part of the living world! At least for a while. And not be stuck in this trash fire.” He grimaced. “No, that’s not fair. Sometimes trash fires are fun. I should know; I’ve set a lot of them.”

Her frown deepened. “I don’t know…”

“Beetlejuice!” came a familiar roar. “Get out here right now!”

“Under the desk!” he told the kid, jumping to his feet.

“Don’t talk to me like –!”

“UNDER THE DESK!” he roared, drawing himself up a few extra feet, and opening his mouth to show multiple rows of teeth.

That did the trick. The kid dove under the desk, and he was glad her dress was black, because it blended in with the shadows and the dark stone of the floor.

Juno opened the door a second later, smoke and steam trickling from her neck slit. Her beehive quivered. Per usual, her red skirtsuit hung off her like loose skin, and she was pushing the walker she didn’t need ahead of her.

“Lawrence Beetlejuice Shoggoth, do you have anything to do with this?” she growled.

“To do with what?” he asked. “The red alert? It sure brightened up my total lack of morning. I won’t name names, but someone in the bullpen jumped out their skin. Literally, the scales are still on the floor.”

A bony finger was extended his way. “I know about your little obsession with the living world. Why do you think I watch you so closely? You are one more misstep from being banished between life and death, how do ya like that? Do you want to spend eternity watching your precious breathers without anyone able to hear or see you?”

Ah. That old chestnut. “No, Ma,” he said, settling onto the floor.

“If I hear that this was your handiwork…”

“…My entrails will decorate the lobby. Yeah, yeah, heard it all before.”

She flicked her wrist, and knocked him over the desk. He tumbled head over heels, and landed on his face. It goddam hurt, because his mother could always hurt him. He made sure he hit the ground with a comical splat sound so the kid wouldn’t panic and give the game away. When he looked up, the girl’s eyes were wide and fearful.

“How about this?” He stood up, and brushed his sleeves off. “That red alert was because some dumbass living human came into the Netherworld, right? And I can tell you didn’t catch them, because there’s more steam coming out of you than usual. I’ll go looking for the human. I’ll prove to you I didn’t do it.”

She crossed her arms, and drummed her fingers on her elbows. “Hmm…when you put it that way…this would be an excellent way for you to demonstrate the potential for more responsibility, and – I DON’T CARE. Just stay out of the way.”

Coming from Juno, that was a sappy “I love you.” She stormed out of the office, and he waited until the rattling of her heels faded out of earshot before he bent down to check on the kid.

“You have to get the hell out of here,” he told the goth girl curled up under his desk.

“That was your mother?” she asked.

“She’s my boss, too. She’s a demon; she doesn’t get me. I’d take my considerable skills elsewhere, but, y’know, it’s toe the line or get wedged between life and death forever. How did a living twelve-year-old wind up in the Netherworld, anyway?”

“I’m fifteen!” she said, standing up. “And that’s none of your business.”

“It is so my business, if we’re going to get you to the land of the living so you can take me with you. What did you do? Black magic? Séance?”

“I, um…” She gave him a hard look before continuing. “I found a book.”

“A book? Really? Which book?” Most living world books wouldn’t tell you jack about the Netherworld. Concepts like limbo or the bardo came close, but…

“Handbook for the Recently Deceased,” the kid said.

For several seconds, all he could do was stare at her. Her expression became grossly fascinated.

“Your eyeballs are falling out of their sockets,” she said.

He shoved them back in, and shook his head to clear it. “How did you get the Handbook, kid?”

She crossed her arms. “My name is Lydia. And I found it.”

“Found it where?”

“Your sister’s sock drawer.” She glared at him. “Look, it doesn’t matter where I found it, but I found it, and the first chapter said you could get to the land of the dead by drawing a door and knocking three times. So I did that, and I tried to blend in by joining this line of dead people, but we went through a metal detector or something, and all these alarms started going off, so I ran.”

Her story had a gaping hole in it in the shape of the fact that she couldn’t have opened the Handbook unless she was recently deceased, which she wasn’t. A ghost had to have shown her the book and let her through the door, which was a big no-no. Obviously, she wasn’t going to give up her source.

He didn’t care. In fact, he was delighted that they were still teaching living teenagers that snitches got stitches.

“Fine,” he said. “I can get you back, but when you do –”

“I have to say your name three times?”

“You have to say my name three times.”

She sat on his desk. “Which name? That Juno lady called you a lot of things.”

And Juno had cursed him so he couldn’t say it. For the same reason people on house arrest couldn’t unlock their ankle bracelets.

“I’ve got a card somewhere,” he muttered. He reached into his jacket, and handed her the little business card.

“ ‘2nd Street Dermatology – You’ve Got Us Under Your Skin’?” she read.

“Wrong card!” He grabbed it back, and plunged his hands deep in his pants pockets. There was so much junk in the way. “Hold this,” he said, handing Lydia a skull, a xylophone, a planchette – “Here!”

He took his stuff back, and she read the card. “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice?”

He nodded.

“If I say this in the living world, it’ll bring you there?”

“In two shakes.”

“So you’re like a demon.”

“Half demon, half ghost.”

“Have you been here a long time?”

He nodded.

“Then you know how to find my mom!” she said. “You can be my guide! And as soon as we’re back in the living world, I promise I’ll say your name. And you won’t have to deal with your terrible mother ever again!”

It was a nice thought.

“You can’t get your mom,” he said. “That’s just a no-go.”

Her expression soured. “No-go with you, you mean,” she said. “You don’t really want to help me? Fine. I’ll manage by myself, I guess. That’s all I’ve been doing since my mom died, anyway.” She went for the door.

He scurried after her. “Lydia, wait! We can make a deal!”

Juno would kill her. That death wouldn’t be clean or fast. And then Juno could spend as long as she wanted punishing the newlydead girl for breaking the rules.

It wasn’t pleasant to discover there were still ideas that could make him want to vomit. Besides, if she went out by herself, he’d be losing his ticket to the living world. Another few centuries slogging around the office until the next stupid, lucky teenager came by. There was no point in not seeing this through as long as he could.

He forced a grin. “OK. I’ll be your guide.”

“You’ll help me find my mom?” she asked. “That’s really possible?”

“It’s really possible.”

It really wasn’t. He could try to argue with her, and eventually, she might listen and just go home. But if he was the one who burst her bubble, she’d be less inclined to do him a favor.

“Sure,” he said. “I’ll help you find your mom. And I know exactly where to head. But first – we have to make you blend in.”

*

He smuggled the tiny goth out the back way, into the empty, rocky fields where the newlydeads lined up to head into the infinite Abyss that awaited them. No poor, unfortunate souls were hanging around just then, though you had to figure that people died about every second in the living room. He had given up trying to figure out the Netherworld’s relationship with time.

He made the tiny goth sit on a crag so they’d be eye-to-eye, and started rooting around his jacket for supplies. She looked skeptical, and he couldn’t blame her.

“How do I blend in?” Lydia asked.

“You have to look dead,” he said. “If you don’t go through the sensors – nice job, by the way, hopping right in the nearest line, very subtle – no one will automatically be able to tell you’re alive. But! If anyone gets within arm’s length, you’ll get caught. You have to stop flaunting your beating heart and functioning liver.”

“So I have to look recently deceased…” she said, and chewed on her bottom lip. “Should I put fake blood all over my face? Pretend I got poisoned?” She made a choking sound. “Maybe a noose?” She yanked one hand over her shoulder and let her head loll forward.

He tried not to flinch. She didn’t know that she’d just punched below the belt. Especially since he was wearing suspenders.

“Only newlydeads carry their wounds around,” he said. “That’s a good way to tell someone’s inexperienced. Have you seen the receptionist? She acts like she knows everything, but she’s still got those slit wrists, and the carbon monoxide skin.” He snorted. “Suicides.”

“I was going to jump off the roof of our new house,” Lydia said, very quietly. “Just yesterday. I wrote a note and everything.”

“Well, then, congratulations,” he said.

“For what?”

“For outdoing yourself. Running into hell wasn’t the dumbest idea you had this week. Have some grave dirt.” He tossed a handful of mud in her face.

She coughed, and tried to brush the dirt away, but just ended up smearing it across her forehead and cheeks. “What the HELL?”

“You have to make people believe you’ve been in the ground a long time. Get some of that under your fingernails, there you go. Now slouch!” he ordered. Her shoulders sagged. “Lower! Everything in your previous life is gone! No one cried at your funeral! Stoners are making out behind your head stone!”

“I’m deeeeead,” she said, stretching out the word and adding some vocal fry. She slid off the crag, and raised her arms like a zombie. Her eyes were half-closed. “Woe is me. How I long for one more breath.”

“Very nice.” He considered, then reached out and messed up her hair. “There. Dial it back by 30% and you’re golden.”

Her eyes lit up with a fervor only living teenagers had. “Does that mean we can go?”

“Yes. But you have to follow my lead, capeesh?”

“Capeesh,” she said, and he didn’t believe her.

He snapped his suspenders. “It’s showtime! Let’s go to Saturn!”

Movie sonic head canons and ideas

ok i’ve basically been obsessing over the new trailer all day, and since im such a huge sonic nerd i started coming up with head canons and story ideas immediately. (also, the new design is the cutest thing ever.. movie sonic is now babey.)

so, here are a few ideas for all my fellow sonic artist and fan fiction writers for movie sonic.

he’s lived and traveled alone for most of his life, and on his world has no friends. the reason being because everyone either thinks he’s a freak, or because the people who do care about him could get hurt due to people always going after him for his speed. so he pushes them away.

as sonic slowly befriends tom he sees him as kind of a father figure since he never really had a dad (or parents at all) growing up.

after the movie, he goes to toms world constantly and updates him about his life on (insert world name here). eventually telling him about his new friend, a flying fox he nicknamed tails.

movie sonic knows how to pay gutiar (like a few versions of himself), and tom use to as well (back in high school he tried to form a band. it didn’t go so well.). so they both have jam sessions all the time.

sonic would give his life to protect toms dog. (side note; please for the love of chaos let the dogs name be muttski! i’d love that!)

movie sonic is very anti authoritarian and dosen’t trust the government or any form of authority. but he can still get along with people in those types of jobs if they’re a good person, like tom.

tom had a goth/emo phase and use to listen to a lot of “dark” bands like siouxsie and the banshees, the cure, ect. sonic grows to really enjoys this kind of music and goes through his own goth phase.

and sonic also learns about david bowie. he is now the worlds biggest david bowie fan.

whenever tom and sonic hang out, they sometimes do stereotypical father and son bonding things that sonic had secretly always wanted to do.

sonic’s not very good at showing affection or letting people close to him most of the time. hes also not good at reading people (hes getting better.) so he sometimes comes off as a jerk.

ok thats all i got for now. =3
