What's the best ghost in Hollow Knight?
ngl i forgot about the actual ghosts for a moment bc I saw 'Ghost' and 'Hollow Knight' and my brain just automatically whited out on anything but Little Ghost, who I would kill and die for and who wins the 'best ghost' title on a technicality because the debate on whether or not they're alive or dead or not is roughly equatable to whether or not viruses can be considered living beings
anyways its markoth because he's hot

Meowdy Saint! ^^ lolol hello hello o/ hope you are doing good!!
So this masterpiece of a game has been invading my mind with ZERO chill lately which directly translated to me coming up with a TON of questions orz I really didn't realize how many I ended up compiling lol
If you don't feel like answering this many please feel absolutely free to ignore this ask or only answer the ones you like the most, the last thing I want is for you to feel overwhelmed! ^^
ALRIGHT LET'S-A GO
-do Rendacted's memories remain intact when he resets the day or do his wipe too with everyone else's? Also is there an in-universe answer for why he has these glitchy powers or is he just Built Different™?
-if angel made it VERY clear that they would be mad asf and prolly even start hating and leave Ren/[REDACTED] if he were to hurt their friends(or killing people bc this man needs to chill fr), would he listen to them? Bc I know that if he touches Violet, Elanor, Kiara or god forbid Moth I'm personally deleting his kneecaps 🥰
-since it seems to me that Ren/[REDACTED] is only kinda meh at cooking I was wondering if he actually made the not burnt pancakes in day 3 or if he had some store bought ones that he passed off as his own lol
-does he know how to give massages? :00
-during day 1, how did Ren come up with a book on the local flora?? It seems like such a random topic to pick when put on the spot without already having a genuine interest in it lmao
-if I understood correctly Maple should be Jae's dog right?? Did you have a specific breed or age in mind when creating her? I got curious because in my head she automatically popped up as a young australian shepherd to match with Jae's hyperactive dumbass energy lol❀⸜(˶´ ˘ `˶)⸝❀
-staying on the dog topic lol, in day 1 when angel gets up from the couch to get Ren the inflatable mattress(iirc) and he follows right behind them i immediately thought he acted like a puppy lmao. So would he mind being called 'puppy' as a pet name?
(I am not sure if this⬇️ questions falls under character deaths, if it does I really apologize and absolutely feel free to ignore it ^^)
-from an ask from last year it seems [REDACTED] would ultimately kill angel if there was ultimately not way to enter in their life?? Gotta say I was very taken aback by this, would this still be the case after a year of building more to his character? (Ok I went back to check the ask again but I can't for the life of me find it anymore maybe I dreamt it up idk😭😭 im really sorry if that is the case jdkslajdl)
-uuhh I know there is already a lot in this ask(im seriously sorry orz), but I was wondering if we will eventually get an SFW alphabet for Ren/[REDACTED] for the folks who don't care about the nasty 👉👈
-THIS IS THE LAST THING I PROMISE 👹 will there be a guide to get all the endings? I'm not sure if there is one already and in that case I missed it 100%
Also I find it ironic how the fandom is trying to find out every single aspect of Ren/[REDACTED]'s character the same way he must do with angel lmao
ALRIGHT THATS ALL IM SO SORRY FOR ASKING SO MUCH THE REN BRAINROT HOURS ARE SO REAL IM LOSING BRAINCELLS orz Remember to take care of yourself drink water and take breaks!! ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧
(Also sorry if some phrases don't make sense, english isn't my first language as I am 🤌 lolol)
✦゜ANSWERED: Under da cut because this got long >:3
-do Rendacted's memories remain intact when he resets the day or do his wipe too with everyone else's? Also is there an in-universe answer for why he has these glitchy powers or is he just Built Different™? Ren's memories remain intact!! I mean... He remembers each time you get a bad end and sometimes says something different... >:3 There is also an in-universe reason as to why he has his abilities — I won't spoil anything, but his real name (along with River's and one other character) have a reeeeally big tell. But what this tell is is for me to know and you to find out >:3
-if angel made it VERY clear that they would be mad asf and prolly even start hating and leave Ren/[REDACTED] if he were to hurt their friends(or killing people bc this man needs to chill fr), would he listen to them? Bc I know that if he touches Violet, Elanor, Kiara or god forbid Moth I'm personally deleting his kneecaps 🥰 Ren (and by extension [REDACTED]) knows not to harm anyone if he knows you won't like it — and even then — he won't actively show that murderous side of him in the first place. To Angel, Ren is just a timid, normal guy.
-since it seems to me that Ren/[REDACTED] is only kinda meh at cooking I was wondering if he actually made the not burnt pancakes in day 3 or if he had some store bought ones that he passed off as his own lol Ren is actually good at cooking, he's just a bit out of touch since he doesn't normally cook for himself! It's normally microwave meals or takeout for him... ^^; And yes, Ren did burn and burn the pancakes in Day 3 — he was distracted by something on his phone :3
Bonus cut Day 3 content: I took out the scene where Ren started to profusely apologise for burning the pancake because he often had to cook when he was younger. Given the dynamic of his family and the environment he grew up in, Ren didn't have much room to make mistakes ;n; I cut this scene out because I felt bad ksgskd So y'all get to have flustered, happy Ren instead!!
-does he know how to give massages? :00 If that was one of Angel's interests or desires, then sure!! ^^
-during day 1, how did Ren come up with a book on the local flora?? It seems like such a random topic to pick when put on the spot without already having a genuine interest in it lmao Someone else likes flora too, and it sure would be funny if Ren (eventually) starts to mimic certain traits and interests of the person you have the highest affinity/relationship points with in order to make himself look more appealing… >:3c
-if I understood correctly Maple should be Jae's dog right?? Did you have a specific breed or age in mind when creating her? I got curious because in my head she automatically popped up as a young australian shepherd to match with Jae's hyperactive dumbass energy lol❀⸜(˶´ ˘ `˶)⸝❀ It was mentioned in Jae's lore post (I'll link it here once I find it), but Maple is a Labrador! (Leon would be Jae's Australian Shepherd hehe) In my mind, Maple is only 2 or 3 years old, but that wouldn't really fit the official timeframe... ^^; Jae adopted Maple during high school so he wouldn't feel lonely at home, and it's been over 6+ years since then.... hgdshjg
-staying on the dog topic lol, in day 1 when angel gets up from the couch to get Ren the inflatable mattress(iirc) and he follows right behind them i immediately thought he acted like a puppy lmao. So would he mind being called 'puppy' as a pet name? Angel affectionately calls Ren a puppy during the scene in Day 1 where they meet up after work, so that nickname definitely could work!
-from an ask from last year it seems [REDACTED] would ultimately kill angel if there was ultimately not way to enter in their life?? Gotta say I was very taken aback by this, would this still be the case after a year of building more to his character? (Ok I went back to check the ask again but I can't for the life of me find it anymore maybe I dreamt it up idk😭😭 im really sorry if that is the case jdkslajdl) aaa I think you might be mistaking that ask for something else? ;v; [REDACTED] would NEVER harm Angel in any capacity, and they're a very patient person. Even if it took decades for Angel to fall in love with him, they'll wait.
-uuhh I know there is already a lot in this ask(im seriously sorry orz), but I was wondering if we will eventually get an SFW alphabet for Ren/[REDACTED] for the folks who don't care about the nasty 👉👈 You're fine!! And I'm open to doing that! I'll add it to my list hehe
-THIS IS THE LAST THING I PROMISE 👹 will there be a guide to get all the endings? I'm not sure if there is one already and in that case I missed it 100% I've shared a spreadsheet that lists all the available choices, the points you earn from each of them, and the endings you can get — however it's only available on Discord and I don't really want to share it outside of the server and potentially put it in the hands of minors. Sorry!!
Also I find it ironic how the fandom is trying to find out every single aspect of Ren/[REDACTED]'s character the same way he must do with angel lmao Hehe >:3 There's a loooot of lore that won't ever be mentioned in the game (since it doesn't seem fitting/I don't see a reason to), so I'm happy to provide it here!

My Official Hazbin Hotel Stargazers AU Masterpost!
Or the #HHStargazersAU Checklist + MORE!!!
But before all that, here's the general synopsis:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Charline is introducing her first ever girlfriend, Vaggie, to her circus running dad, Lucius Magne. But unbeknownst to them, Vaggie is hiding a big secret: She's Charlie's guardian angel! Tasked with setting her on the right path towards good, but to make things more complicated, the family's live-in hire, Alastor, is actually a demon that's been trying to tempt Charlie's dad to the opposite side! So how can this unlikely pair keep their respective truths hidden when mysteries start to unfold, how do they play house while also playing tug-of-war for Heaven & Hell, and just HOW did they get in this situation in the first place? Well, one thing's for certain, family dinners will never be boring as feelings unravel and everything grand is yet to be revealed. So tune in~!
Or something like that...
So if this summary seems like your cup of tea and you happen to enjoy both Chaggie & Radioapple content, then hop on aboard! Because, let me tell you, the ride I've prepared is so convoluted, I wish I charge people for it, but it's FREE! Unfortunately, all updates usually depend on my schedule and plans for plot may always change. But this semi-serious story of mine follows a loose "artfic" format anyway. A term I use to mean: I write just as much as I draw. So this is both a fanart and a fanfic AU now basically. But everything for it can be found on Twitter, Insta, or Tumblr. I post just about almost the same things in each, so there's no need to look further for more! Though I won't protest if you ASK for more as in the end, this gigantic AU is just a personal project of mine and any support. Be it a little acknowledgement or a major gift of a comment goes a long way to fuel my motivation! Now that the sappy stuff is out of the way though, here's the links to my story and list of future posts that would be regularly updated anytime I remove or add something new!

let me hold your hand forever.
A/N; i almost threw up writing this because its not the usual "omg i love this cute yandere boy, so silly!" shit i do
Pairing; "Rendacted" x GN!reader
CW; Ren/[REDACTED] having unhealthy, obsessive and possesive behavior, wow, who would have told / TW; mutilations, romanticizing mutilation by Ren side but MC is really terrified / this is an AU where MC rejected Ren's advances and he lost his infinite patience / character with extremely questionable ethics / wow another nsfw in this blog? / you’re lucky this isn’t visual / i know in canon Rendacted would never hurt MC BUT HEY god gave me the ability to write and im making that everyone else's problem / surreal strength for the sake of the plot, IMPORTANT POINT
Tumblr media
It was quite comfortable, having a friend like Ren could even be strange, he looked like cotton candy and it was very nice to spend time together. But then again, you were just friends, it was a little strange that he mentioned being in a relationship with you.
But things have taken a bit of a drastic turn, Ren has spent his days trying to hang out with you, having lunch together, spending nights watching anime and horror movies, that would be nice if it didn't feel so overwhelming.
So it's time to confront him.
"Ren, hey, I know you like me a lot but we can't go out every day, I'm not always up for that so… I'll let you know when we can go out, okay?"
And there was only silence from the pink-haired boy, he seemed to be trying to smile unsuccessfully, just looking at you.
"Of course, angel, don't forget to call me!" He spoke nervously trying to hold back the storm in his throat.
Just when you were about to leave a hand grabbed your forearm, Ren was still looking at you with a smile, a sad smile.
"You're going to call me, right?" He asks, his eyes widening in desperation, Ren didn't want to lose you, he couldn't stand it, not again, what if you're thinking about slowly walking away?
"Sure, later" was the only thing you mentioned before pulling your arm to leave, it's not like you had an avoidant attachment pfff!
The days passed and life could be considered calm, you went out with your friends, you greeted your strange neighbor who loved to walk to her floors, work was not unpleasant and you even bought yourself a small dessert for dinner tonight.
You and Moth talked late into the night about the new episodes and since Haruko was so adorable, life felt peaceful once again. It's not that Ren was a problem, he was attractive and if you had enough self-esteem you would think you had a chance with him but…
I suppose not.
Speaking of Ren, what is he doing now? Visiting him would be a good idea, it's been days since they last spoke.
Once morning arrived you headed towards his large apartment and knocked on the door, not long after it was opened by Ren, who looked just like an abandoned puppy, you could almost see his eyes shine and his breath was lost just by seeing you in front of him. him.
"Angel, you're here! oh god, I-I'm so sorry for the mess, I didn't expect you to come… to my apartment…" It sounded a little strange, but it was just Ren being shy.
"Yeah uh… I'm sorry, are you busy? I can go, yes, maybe I should have let you know I was coming."
"No! NO! it's okay, you just surprised me, do you want a drink? I have your fav-… many options! I have many drink options" He corrected himself immediately with a smile, his face was almost the color of his hair and I was dying to say that I miss you so much.
"Or we can go out, do you want to visit the new cafe? Maybe we can-…"
“No” You interrupted, it sounded a little rude so you cleared your throat. "Now I'm not sure, I was just passing by to say hello, plus I don't have money to buy something…"
"I can buy it for you," he said almost immediately, his eyes fixed on you, almost sweating from having you close.
"That's very generous, Ren, but…"
"Please! It's your day off, right? We could go out and…"
"Ren, I'm not-…"
"Please, angel!" He begged, his hand had climbed to your arm and you didn't even notice, he was now gently squeezing your shoulder, wanting closeness, wanting to date, wanting you and you kept pushing him away.
The atmosphere was a little awkward now, you didn't know whether to be flattered that he thought you were interesting enough for Ren to want to spend time with you or scared by how desperate he looked about it.
"No thanks, I think I better go back to my apartment" You mentioned as you pushed his hand from your arm, you didn't even have time to turn to the door when Ren grabbed your arm tightly, a painful grip.
"Ren?"
"Can we be together, please? I-I'll make you feel special, I want you to be okay and I want you to…" his expression seemed so… surprised, to see you, embarrassed to act like that? scared of being abandoned? overstimulated? "all I want is to be with you!"
He almost roared out, his grip on your arm becoming more and more painful, he was pulling you away from the exit door.
"Ren, that hurts! REN! REN!"
"JUST LET ME HOLD YOUR HAND FOREVER!" He begged between screams, only a beeping sound existed in his head as he watched you fall to the ground in a pool of blood.
Now you were on the ground, screaming and crying out loud, it was agony, Ren had hurt you.
For fuck's sake, not only did he hurt you, he tore your fucking arm off and now you were writhing in your blood as you slowly lost consciousness.
Wake up.
Your body was still shaking, you were still terrified, and you had to escape, where was your arm? As soon as you woke up you found a sweaty Ren who was looking at you with a desperate and nervous smile.
It was a deranged look, almost immediately you started crying out of panic, your arm was gone, your arm, he tore it off, you were hyperventilating as you watched his left arm missing.
"REN! REN!!" You were sobbing in despair, the pool of blood was still on the floor, how long were you unconscious? not much because apparently Ren had tried to stop the bleeding and close the wound, seeing bandages full of blood made you vomit immediately, but that didn't stop you from crying in agony.
"Angel, please! s-stop crying, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry, please forgive me! FORGIVE ME, I DIDN'T WANT TO! IT WAS NOT MY INTENTION!" He begged you as he sobbed himself, he had hurt you and that was something he never thought of doing, that he never wanted to do. "l-look, now we are equal, can you forgive me?"
What did he say ..?
Your throat had closed and the screams stopped, that guy was fucking deranged.
He ripped his left arm off of him.
For you.
He came up to hug you, wanting to be comforting, to make you feel accompanied in this, to give you love in such a dark time.
No no no no.
"NO! NO! NOOO! PLEASE, NO!" You screamed in panic as the tears came out, that couldn't be happening, disgust and terror filled your poor mind as you were caressed with so much love, Ren was going to take care of you and promised to never hurt you again.
"We'll be fine angel, just trust me, I'll take care of you." He spoke so lovingly, smiling as he held you, genuinely happy to be so close, to be able to touch you. "Now we match, right?"
He was joking at a moment like that, as if it were nothing, the sobs no longer came out, you could barely breathe while the tears didn't stop and he lulled you into your chest with the help of his only arm.

Hi hi, if your requests are still open, could you do [REDACTED] becoming self aware and finding out that the player is super obsessed with him? From his pov cuz I wanna see the internal dialogue. Been meaning to write this myself, but alas, writer’s block 😞
obsessed angel is best angel hehehe >:3c
14 Days With You is an 18+ Yandere Visual Novel. MINORS DNI
~Super Obsessed Angel~
The library was often slow in the morning, so you always put some extra time into helping whoever came in. You were getting a few books off the higher shelves for an elderly visitor. As you climbed down the ladder, a stack of novels held to your chest, you were completely unaware of the other visitor who’d been sneaking through the aisles since they arrived. [REDACTED]’s gaze was glued to you, lost in thought as he watched you go about your day.
Something about you had changed since he did away with the Ren persona, as if a certain switch had been flipped on in your brain. It was easy to connect the dots for them—you'd been so obvious about it. Or maybe years of watching you just made every little change easy to spot: you were utterly obsessed with them.
The first clue was a genuine shock for once. He'd dropped you off at your apartment after a date as he always did. You were well past nervous and shy the whole time, but it was to be expected since he wasn't “Ren” anymore. Under the dark mess of hair, black outfit, piercings and tattoos, he was a nervous wreck, too. Far more than normal to pick up the hints of what came next.
As soon as your door closed the dark-haired man pulled out their phone to admire you through the cameras placed in your home. He thought you'd surely wind down on your couch before bed like usual. Maybe even chat up a friend while catching up on your favorite anime.
Instead they were greeted with the sight of you still standing in the entry and typing away on your own phone. He quickly switched to watch your screen, eyes widening at the rapid barrage of texts you were sending to Moth. All gushing with joy about your date.
Of course he committed them all to memory immediately—and his eyes had widened at some of the more interesting things you'd typed before hastily erasing it for a slightly less unhinged message. But one in particular stood out.
“I don't think I can be normal about them.”
That was months ago, and each new thing you did only reminded him of it. He noticed everything and he loved it.
Your bright smiles as you leaned into their touch, their side, their embrace at any chance you got—they had his heart soaring. If only they had let you convince them to do away with “Ren” sooner. 
You even accepted the ring once thrown away all those years ago. Still on the necklace he’d worn to keep it close to his heart, but now a favored offering he would catch you playing with throughout the day while distracted by something or another.
It was everything he ever dreamed of. Of course, the quirks you picked up when you thought they weren’t looking were just as fascinating.
The way you always hastily tucked your phone away when he came back into a room was precious. As if they hadn't seen the photo of them you used as a wallpaper, least of all the dozens of other pictures you thought were safely hidden in the depths of your phone gallery. He had a picture to match each of yours in the thousands that filled his own devices.
Innocent calls in the middle of the night where you’d say you couldn't sleep just to hear their voice. He thought about teasing you and saying you could just record it, but then you wouldn't have an excuse—a blatant lie, he knew—to call. They always wanted to hear you just as much anyways, if not more. And even if you did figure out how to record it, he'd make sure the audio file somehow mysteriously disappeared.
He was almost certain of your obsession once you started taking clothes. Hoodies and jackets were obvious, especially since he intentionally left them out for you. That was more than enough to have him practically ecstatic. 
Until one morning after you spent the night he realized a few things were missing from his wash pile. A cursory glance through their security system’s recordings confirmed it. The items in question had been purposefully stolen from the middle of the basket so as not to arouse immediate suspicion, and squirreled away in your bag without their notice. He’d only left your side for a moment that day to pick up the takeout order at the door. You were starting to get careful. It made him all the more desperate in seeing what else you’d do.
The sound of a scanner beeping in the silence of the library brought him back to the present as you finished up with the elderly visitor. You politely bid them farewell before sitting back in your chair with a huff.
They couldn’t help but notice the hopeful glance you threw towards a spot on your desk that was obscured from their vision. No doubt the place where you always kept your phone during work. Your hand reached out of habit for the golden ring—his ring—dangling from your neck.
Were you thinking of him? It was only fair that he indulged you. He was thinking of you just the same. One text hurriedly tapped out on his cracked screen, and he was intoxicated by the love struck way your face lit up at the buzz of your phone mere seconds later.
Eventually he knew he'd have to come clean about spying on you. But he had a feeling you wouldn't complain too much. The obsession was finally mutual, after all.

Characters: Academic Rival! Ren @14dayswithyou x reader
Okay, but I have been an academic rivals to lovers stan for far too long, y’all don’t understand…
So like, this au would totally have redacted still the same as Canon! Redacted, he’d just be like… more open to the MC? And it’d be in an academic setting??? Like he developed some self-esteem solutions and got more confident in being himself, still having subtle mannerisms of character traits you enjoyed… but more him
Like… he went to therapy so he could be better for you before you even knew him, cause you said some bullshit like they were no good looking guys in the world who didn’t have therapy, cause there’s nothing hotter than a mentally stable guy. (i mean, you’re all here because you love a stable guy, right… ;] )
But yeah, now you just know him as that snarky ass, dark-haired with pink tips ‘genius’ in your university ‘psychology in modern media’ class.
Warnings and whatnot: lolol NSFW implications so minors DNI, a decent amount of swearing on my part, I'd say?
Another flawless assignment completed for you. Whoo! It was a nice day to be smart!
To be fair, you had pored over that goddamn presentation for hours before going to sleep, so if you hadn’t done well, you probably would’ve bust a pipe over some unlucky guy’s head.
You grinned seeing the big 95 on your paper. You spent so long detailing the moral complications between the character relationships as you gutted the root problems for each of the character flaws and how that showed in their bonds with others.
Unfortunately, you had the (dis)pleasure of being seated to [REDACTED], the class self-proclaimed genius. 
God, you hated him.
You were pretty sure you hated him more because he was so stupidly hot. You could clearly see his chiseled stone abs when he wore those clingy, black compression shirts! And paired with gray fucking sweatpants?
He knew what he was doing… And it was to mess up your game!
I mean, seriously, what was the lecturer doing, seating you next to this second coming of Michelangelo?! It’s almost like she had something personal against you!
(the lecturer was in fact, very for the both of you getting together. You both were smart, maybe you’d find a way to increase [REDACTED]’s grades…)
You never noticed him all that much in the beginning of the year. He brooded in his own corner, never noticed by anyone in those dumb black baggy hoodies.
But the minute he sat next to you, all of a sudden he realized he was hot stuff???
Okay, sure there, bro. He needed to chill out.
All of a sudden, he went from a lonely loser, to some hot genius within like the span of a day.
You didn’t get it.
But to be fair, you didn’t remember telling your good friend Moth how you started having things for hot but smart guys and guys who could actually stand a battle of wits… But that was for [REDACTED] to remember, and you to forget.
He leaned over your shoulder, a lazy smirk gracing his features. “95, not bad, angel.”
Agh! That stupid nickname! It was supposed to be something intimate, something reserved for lovers and such, but he insisted on using it to berate your grades!
He slid his paper over with a big 96 on it. “But not good enough.”
Of course. He had to have known that he was doing an in depth character analysis on the teachers favorite character and played to all the teachers preferences in the character and was spouting self-servient bullshit!
…But his presentation was well done, you had to admit. Normal people wouldn’t notice because you pay an unhealthy amount to any flaws in his looks, but he must’ve studied hard, he had huge eyebags during his presentation…
How would you know it’s because he thought your frustrated face was so cute when you kept thinking of ideas for your presentation that he completely forgot he had to impress the teacher to impress you?
Honestly, [REDACTED] cared more that he was on your mind in any way, even if that was because he acted like a ‘suck-up’ because he was too busy watching you.
“Hope you haven’t forgotten the many times I’ve beaten you academically, [REDACTED]. Or are you losing your memory because you’ve been sitting with a godsend this whole time? Sorry, didn’t mean for my heavenly powers to warp with your memory.” You rolled your eyes and crossed your arms.
“Then, you’re sure living up to your title, angel.” He snorted and went back to looking towards the front before muttering something under his breath. “...But your presentation was good, dork.”
In shock at the compliment, you stood there with your mouth open.
He glanced back over at you, “What? Is it so hard to believe that you did well on our midterm presentation?” he huffed to himself in disbelief before a grin made its way to his face. “Sitting there with your mouth open? It’s like you want someone to kiss that dumb look off your face.”
He thought the comment would shake you out of your stupor, make you come back with a feisty comment.
But no, you sat there, thinking about all the implications of that statement. …What if he kissed you? But he has so many piercings… He has a tongue piercing, snakebites, honestly, your mouth would feel like a jewelry store with the amount of silver in it…
But he looked like a fuckboy, would he be good at kissing?
Wait, hold up, no, no, no. Dude, you gotta remember…
He was a loser up until now.
If that’s the way he’d been his whole life, he’s probably never even kis—
And if that realization wasn’t enough for you to drop your jaw, nothing ever would.
[REDACTED] could only stare at you in mild surprise as your mouth opened… even more. He slowly blinked at you, a mock-scandalized look on his face, “What, you really want someone to kiss you that bad? You volunteering to be kissed, angel?”
You immediately let go all thoughts of kissing that gorgeous jerk in favor of heat rising to your face, “Nope. I’m good.”
He pushed and prodded a little more, “What, you never kissed anyone before?” He actually wasn’t quite sure. The early years when he didn’t know how to hack anything and couldn’t follow you were blank spaces in your life to him.
You muttered a curse under your breath and turned away from him without denying his question.
Although you couldn’t see it, his whole face lit up with hope. Oh, he was going to be your first kiss! He couldn’t wait! He internallly coughed at his eagerness.
He had to court you first before the two of you could become anything.
He looked back at your lecturer who had been picking on students who had to read out full paragraphs of their analysis on a TV Show that followed the messy plot of a coming of age, romance drama.
And also, clearly, leaving the two of you alone. He hushedly whispered to you, “Wait, are you serious, angel?”
You grumbled into the palm of your hand before slowly turning to him, “unfortunately… yes. I haven’t kissed anyone yet. But turns out this university is full of jerks and dumbasses…”
You paused. Well, maybe not all jerks and dumbasses. “Guess there’s a couple guys in the music department that are cool.”
Murder flashed through [REDACTED]’s mind thinking of you asking them out before putting on a strained smile, “So where do I fit in, hm?”
“I dunno…” You hadn’t put too much thought towards [REDACTED]. Sure, he was hot. But he was kind of a prick.
But he did respect your gender identity…
And he never went too far, making sure he didn’t cross any lines or boundaries…
And he gave you that academic rival that you’d been search―
…Oh my god.
He was your academic rival.
You loved rivals to lovers… Was this a sign? You got a hot rival, who respects you, your boundaries, your intellect and he was hot?!
Okay, maybe you had dreamed about him on a couple of weird occasions, but dreams don’t mean anything!
Is what you would say if you were in denial.
Oh dear, did you like him?!
You gave him a quick once over, looking at all the piercings on his ears and face as your eyes trailed to his shirt which clung tightly to his skin, all defined abs and muscles on display.
Hold up! Were those body cutouts on his top around his hips that you saw?! Fuck, those were hot…
Your eyes trailed a little bit lower to his pants… and shit, he was packing… There was no way in hell he was allowed to be that big, in height and in… length.
Ugh, your thoughts made you shudder a little. No way you were thirsting over a guy you were just fighting.
…But it wouldn’t be the first time, that’s for sure…
Okay, so maybe you had not-so-subtly eyed your seatmate like he was a piece of meat.
But he enjoyed the attention! He loved you drinking him up like he was just a pretty thing. But he was your pretty thing… Some random girls keep trying to ask him out, but he doesn’t want them. He wants you. But most importantly, he wants you to want him too.
“What, cat got your tongue, sweetheart?” He teased, using something other than angel as a nickname.
“Wh-Whatever, [REDACTED]. Shut up.” You rolled your eyes and took your attention off of him before whispering something under your breath.
“Angel, you gotta speak up.”
You grimaced, “I guess you go into the alright department. Luckily for you, you’re the only one there. You seem to be the only one I know who’s cool enough to handle me around here.”
He blinked, looking at you in subtle reverence, “A whole department for me, angel? Thank you.” He laced it with an edge of sarcasm but internally, he couldn’t have been more happy. 
He was the only one there that you tolerated! The only one you liked.
You. Chose. Him.

Current info on the missing persons case of Jonathan Sims
Codes(?)
C34537355W41263
Facts
Not a moth nor Nikola, but not a human either. “Humans are dumber than I thought” implies it is a being from an outer plain, though it says it is not an avatar.
Three lines between every sentence, another dot on each line, as if a loading screen.
Refers to Jon as either The Archivist or him. Always in green text.
Green text is also used for anything pertaining to the Eye or the beholding
Uses red text for other things, which I have not found connection between. In its first post it used red text for “[the archivist is] out of commission” “me” and “SYSTEM SHUT DOWN” then in its later posts, it uses I instead of Me and refers only to avatars in red font “Nikola” and “Her”
“Time is running out” implies that if we do not work fast enough Jon will suffer. Maybe he’ll never get out. It is smiling.
Refers to unknown info in orange
Refers to itself as “DATA CORRUPTED” implying that is a as not always able to consume humans in this way.
Redacted text when it says what it is. Whether this is because it does not know or we cannot handle the truth is unclear.
States “I act nothing like her [Nikola]” even though it has acted much like her. Either it physically behaves nothing like her or it cannot understand mannerisms.
Starts every post with “NEW MESSAGE” as if it is an email notification
Videos it sends are glitchy, and contain a masked white face with a gruesome smile. This further confirms that it is corrupted data. Possible stranger, flesh, and web affiliation. Possible new fear. Further research must be done.
The audio from the video does not contain anything when you play it backwards, but I have yet to check the sound file for any hidden codes. I tried. No spectrogram app would do what I needed (take a video from my photos).
Current theory
It is a computer. It has swallowed Jon. It simply wants us to know of its existence. It does not feel empathy and is a monster. It will kill him if we don’t free him fast enough. It has not always been this way, but was corrupted by the fears.
Holy shit this is alot of work… maybe you should take my researching job-
But seriously thank you, Toast 🙏 I will definitely try and see if I can find anything else out.!

was there anything that inspired the facility? ive always found the concept of a group of people studying there unusual really interesting so when i listened to the first moth demihuman listener audio i was immediately hooked on your channel
Aww, thank you!! Really gland you enjoyed it!
There's definitely a little of the SCF Foundation in there, but that's definitely not the main inspiration, and I try to be mindful not to get too close to SCP stuff. It's in the same sort of shadowy org genre, and I don't want to do the same thing. I think the Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood is probably a greater inspiration to me than the SCP-F! I even borrowed the name Retcon from there too.
The Facility was actually originally something I was making in Minecraft like seven years ago! I'd started a little series on another channel originally just to look at things that had changed in the game in snapshots, and decided I needed a base of operations. I built an underground complex for the videos that I called the Research Facility (which is what "RF-Control" stands for in the Lunar Mission audio), and eventually just The Facility. Naturally the videos had zero audience, but I had fun coming up with a whole bunch of lore stuff on my own!
Some time early in 2022, I figured out the direction I wanted to take the collective universe of Mitch's World, which up until that point was vaguely connected in a sort of "eh don't worry about it" way. I definitely don't have anything similar planned so don't read much into this, but Redacted's Inversion event got me thinking about my own stuff on a more macro level; I wanted to build towards something that would have a bigger impact. I knew I needed to introduce an organisation involved in investigating the origin of demihumans and why they have only just started to appear more frequently in recent years, which lead to the first Moth audio and the introduction of the Facility, and the subplot involving the Moon... It's been a slow burn in that direction but- Actually I won't spoil things. You'll be hearing more from the Facility in the future!
I've added a Facility playlist on the channel, it's near the top on the front page and the thumbnail is static; anything directly related to that subplot will go in there even if, like the Moth audio, it's part of another series too!

I sent a post that you had reblogged on your main to some of my online friends- so, it had your name attached to it. And one of my friends was like "Is this you?" and I thought they meant the contents of the text (it was some thing about writing) and I was like "Yep ^^"
And then they sent me a screenshot of your main blog and said "It's confirmed, [REDACTED ONLINE NAME] is 22 years old" and I still haven't convinced them that you're not me
- Milgranon
THATS SO FUNNY????? i promise that i, cryptid/moth, am not milgranon. case in point: i would never say words that sounds vaguely british /lh
joking aside though thats so funny. i hope it gets cleared up soon. i feel like all you gotta do is screenshot one of my posts and show that it doesnt have the edit or delete button at the bottom

Cruel Angel’s Thesis intensifies
Technically, it’s “Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty” and not “Neon Dynasty Kamigawa” but only the latter facilitates “get in the robot, Shinji” jokes when you tap your pilot token to crew your Thundersteel Colossus, so. Anyway, none of the mecha cards are relevant to this project - it would have been too much to hope for a POWER DoLLS situation - so really, the moral of the story is that I should have saved the Samurai Jack title joke for this edition.
TODAY ON WIFELINK: GUSHING ABOUT CYBERPUNK FANTASY JAPAN
NDK was a great set, you have to understand. Do you remember how one of the few unequivocally good things about Legend of Korra was this project of imagining a 1920s industrial setting derived from (mostly) East Asian art and architecture? Yeah, similar story here. Just one example: the Imperial mecha look like someone did origami to sheet metal, which is super cool and lends their faction a distinct visual identity. The art in this set is gorgeous - soaring architecture, grungy neon alleyways, sick cyborgs, spirits (in the original Kamigawa block, spirits had some of the weirdest creature designs Magic had ever had, and this continues that legacy) - sagas! saga art is in-universe visual representation of a story that’s important to the people of the world, and NDK sagas are told on ornamental fans, wall scrolls, porcelain jugs, the carved hilt of a katana, a silk dress, in a leaf carving and vector graphics AND, the best saga art ever, on the back of a biker rat’s leather jacket. (I would be remiss at this point not to recommend Rhystic Studies’ extremely good video on sagas.)
And the mechanics! Sagas turn into creatures when the story is over, sort of living memories. Ninjutsu made a triumphant return, the channel mechanic multiplied interesting choices, and so did the reconfigure mechanic, which let you either use a mechanical centipede as a whip attached to one of your creatures, or let it operate autonomously as a creature in its own right (which led to one of the best type lines in MtG: “Legendary Artifact Creature - Equipment Jellyfish.”)
The draft environment - and I know I’m way off-topic here, but I’m about to say some mildly unkind things about this set and I need to preface it - the draft environment was the best I’ve ever encountered. There were so many different viable archetypes, so many different cool choices you could make during drafts and gameplay. The blue-black ninjas deck, fast red-black artifact sacrifice, recursive green-white enchantments - all felt powerful and fun. The whole set was flavorful and compelling, and there are not that many good wifelink hits, I’m sorry to say.
THE QUALITY OF A MAGIC THE GATHERING SET IN TERMS OF THIS PROJECT IS NOT AN IMPORTANT INDICATOR OF OVERALL SET QUALITY
Tumblr media
Heiko Yamazaki, the General (art by Magali Villeneuve)
Heiko makes it where her cousin Norika (also by Villeneuve) doesn’t for two reasons: one is that I find Heiko’s broody expression indicative of a rich and stormy internal life, which always hits me like the smoky scent of a fine scotch or a cup of lapsang souchong. A woman with inner turmoil draws me like a moth to a bug-zapper, which I suppose is why I keep getting into trouble with older women in troubled relationships. “If I simply provide enough unpaid therapy, she’ll leave her abusive husband back in [REDACTED FORMER SOVIET REPUBLIC] & also the closet she’s been in for forty-five years & stay in the United States with me!” Yeah, that’ll happen, idiot.
The other reason is that Norika is a cop.
Tumblr media
Tamiyo, Compleated Sage (art by Chris Rahn)
There are a lot of planeswalkers I don’t care about, personally, and I’m not only talking about the male ones. If I’m being honest, my engagement with Magic story has always been kind of shallow on account of Magic story is frequently (but not always!) bad. Like, pursuant to the previous entry, I did enjoy the apparently-uncredited story about the Yamazakis Wizards published back in February. It’s compelling! There’s juice to that relationship. We will never get anything else about these characters.
See, it turns out that the incentives of creating a collectible card game are not terribly aligned with those of creating rich long-form fantasy stories. Novelty sells cards. We hop around. Those few characters who do enjoy a prolonged spotlight often wilt under the attention as we all collectively get sick to death of the fucking Gatewatch or whoever else. Magic the Gathering is still compelling media, or else why would I be doing this, but to me it’s a kaleidoscopic whirl of mostly detached ideas, characters, settings, and vibes.
ALL OF WHICH IS TO SAY that I never knew much or cared to about Tamiyo. She was some nerd from Kamigawa who didn’t save Avacyn, whatever. Then the Phyrexians got her and turned her into an ichor-weeping cyborg brainwashed into working toward the universal expansion of New Phyrexia, a biomechanical plane of horror, corruption, and ego death, so now she’s hot!
Tumblr media
Go-Shintai of Hidden Cruelty (art by Johannes Voss)
I don’t think I can explain this one, to be honest. Sometimes you just wanna get fucked up by a magical bone machine.
I KNOW THIS ONE HAS BEEN REALLY TALKY ALREADY BUT I GOT SOME BEHIND-THE-SCENES STUFF TO SAY AND A SET WITH ONLY THREE HITS SEEMS AS GOOD A PLACE AS ANY
Well, only three hits that I can find high-quality images of for. I suppose I could be using card rips of Tia Masic’s Moon-Circuit Hacker (reminiscent of my introduction to cyberpunk via Shadowrun, a bad setting paired with a bad system which nevertheless compelled me to consume more cyberpunk, most of it also bad) or Wisnu Tan’s Spring-Leaf Avenger (a delightful vaguely-orchid-mantis bug ninja) but that would look like
Tumblr media
and
Tumblr media
...oh wait that actually looks fine, at least to me on desktop. Okay, then, I’ll incorporate those into my strategy as an acceptable last resort going forward. Actually, while I’m at it:
Tumblr media
Junji, the Midnight Sky (art by Chase Stone)
The dragon’s hot, man, I don’t know what to tell you.
THE OTHER THING IS ABOUT WHAT WE WILL GENEROUSLY CALL AN “UPDATE SCHEDULE”
Phyrexia: All Will Be One releases the second week in February and I am goddamn well going to review that as soon as it’s out, because I played Cyberqueen at the young and impressionable age of twenty-two and now “quasi-omnipotent dominatrix corrupts you into a biomechanical horror ecstatically enslaved to her will” is the hottest thing I will ever get out of Magic: the Gathering unless Ashiok decides to start force-femming planeswalkers, so I am going to be tearing through one set a week for the next three weeks.
Next time is New Capenna, the Art Deco Metropolis of organized crime, bad draft experiences, and well-muscled arms, followed by a return to Dominaria where my excitement for more Phyrexians will be tempered by the fact that my favorite characters from the last Dominaria set are not quite so hot this time round.

6, 12, 32! i don't know many of your ocs but the wraith was the first one you mentioned in the tags so them?
(for this ask game)
Don't worry, we... only really have a handful on active rotation, and with a lot of them we don't talk about them much. You might be familiar with Marigold, but for any other character we can't really rely on people knowing Who They Are.
Base lore: The Wraith is... either a criminal or a group of criminals, that runs a group which has claws in the majority of the ant kingdom. They- or perhaps, simply a figurehead sent to convey the will of whatever bugs run their affairs - are only rarely spotted in person, preferring to lean on the manpower they have access to via their organization. They are noted by the wider criminal community for two major reasons - one, the seemingly-omniscient iron claw they hold over criminal affairs in the Ant Kingdom, and two, the fact that the same bug appears to have been running the organization since the time of Elizant I.
Their species, gender, and just about any other personal detail about them is unknown, as they have never shown their face (or any part of their body) in public, but they have been noted to crack down HARD on poachers that traffic awakened bugs - and, in particular, anyone who traffics moths. They are rarely, if ever, an active presence - simply a passive one, looming over the shoulder of damn near every bug in their area and acting as a broker and go-between to those seeking out illegal services (occasionally without being asked). Their organization also sells a select handful of exotic drugs, most notably a hallucinogenic mushroom that reportedly was cultivated from a strain found in Snakemouth Den.
...and now that that's done, on to the questions.
6. If they were badly injured, and for whatever reason couldn't go to a hospital, who would they go to for help?
For various reasons, they likely wouldn't go to a hospital for bad injuries sustained on the job anyways. Though they have medics on staff, those are more for employees than them themself. Most likely, they'd look for medical aid from family, or stitch themself up.
12. Do they have any sense of style? Regardless of the answer do they believe they have a sense of style?
They have a very distinct style, that's for sure! The Wraith has been wearing the exact same mask and heavy, concealing cloak for the past century and some-odd, and they aren't about to stop now. They wouldn't really say they had a sense of style if you asked them. This outfit muddles scent, sight, and hearing enough to avoid being picked out in a crowd. The embroidery and patterns stitched into the hem... have different meaning. More personal meaning, anyways. It's less about the style, and more about the symbolism.
32. If they could change one thing about themselves what would it be?
Good question! We might have to think on this a bit, but it's probably [REDACTED]

Sticky Solution
my first writing commission for @hubbabubbagumpop featuring everyone's favourite ship Fiddstan!
Fiddleford's work with Stanford has gotten him into trouble with his boyfriend Stanely. Now Stan is rightfully upset. Can Fidds find a way to make it up to his boyfriend?
(Also on ao3!)
---
Fiddleford gave a sigh. He knew that today would be difficult, but that didn’t prepare him for dealing with it. Before him, sitting on the opposite side of the kitchen was a very obviously pouting Stanley Pines. A plate stacked high with pancakes stood in front of him, syrup lovingly poured on top, and despite that he still made sure to turn away from Fiddleford every time the southerner tried to make eye contact with him. 
Fiddleford flipped another pancake and hummed to himself. Stanley always was a tough nut to crack. Even getting the stubborn man to confess to having feelings for him felt like trying to wrestle a pig while covered in grease. The man was all flirtatious to hell and back, not even being cornered had him confess. It took the combined effort of Stan's twin brother, Stanford, along with Fiddleford to get Stan to finally confess his feelings for Fiddleford. 
When Fiddleford had come to Gravity Falls to help Stanford Pines with his research on [redacted] he hadn’t expected to fall in love with his employer’s brother. This added a spanner to his schedule. Normally Fiddleford wouldn’t have minded losing most of his free time to work on the project. That was before he would find himself leaving Stanley’s warm bed in the early hours of the morning for the cold basement of the shack. Odd working hours would normally not be an issue, however, when one is at a restaurant with his boyfriend, you don’t normally want to be dragged out for some lycan-moth research.
It was one thing after another, and Fiddelford could see it on Stanley’s face. Their first dates were full of racked nerves, awkward banter and playful teasing. Now Stanley could hardly muster the effort to suggest leaving the house, lest he have to drive home on his own again. It weighed heavily on Fiddleford’s chest knowing that his choice of his work over his love had lowered his Stanley’s cheeky grin to a sour frown.
Fiddleford tightened his grip on the frying pan before flipping the last cake into a plate next to the stove. He put away his apron and joined Stanley at the table. The other man was still giving him the cold shoulder, but this didn’t discourage Fiddleford. He knew that wounds this deep would take time to heal, and having been raised on a farm, Fiddleford knew a thing or two about being patient.  
“Are you enjoyin’ breakfast Stanley?” Fiddleford asked.
“Is fine.” Stanley said bluntly. He didn’t look up from his food. 
Taking the hint Fiddleford finished eating in silence. He finished his breakfast and left the room. He wondered how he could get his boyfriend to speak with him again. It wasn’t until he confronted him in the living room about his behavior that he got a chance to properly speak with Stan.
“Stanley, I've been trying to make it up to you all week.” Fiddleford said, throwing his arms down. “I know you’re pissed but you could at least talk to me.”
“You’re damn right I’m pissed Fidds. Three months. Three months we’d been saving up, planning, fuck we even got those stupid suits for that restaurant.”  Stanley threw up his arms. “And then you just fucking left me. For what? Some stupid fairies?”
“I…” Fiddleford stared at the floor.
“And this ain’t the first time Fidds.” Stanley continued, his voice growing louder with each word. 
 “You’ve been running to Ford all the time. When we’re in town, when we’re having lunch.” His eyes began to well up with tears. 
There was a moment of quiet as Stanley tried to catch his breath.
“Do you know how shitty it is to wake up alone in bed every day for a month?” Stanley let out a pathetic sniffle.
Fiddleford felt weak in the knees. His cheeks were burning and there were hot tears starting to form under his eyes. How could he have been so blind. 
“I didn’t know. I’m so sorry Stanley.” Fiddleford said quietly.
“Yeah? And?” Stanley stared him down. “Just cause you’re sorry don’t mean you won’t go back to work. You’ve been saying sorry every time but that doesn’t change anything, does it?”
Fiddleford gulped. “Can I have a second chance? Please.” he raised his gaze to meet Stan’s. “I’ll make it up to you, I swear.” 
“Fine, sure.” Stan sighed. “‘S not like things can get worse.”
****
Fiddleford paced around a clearing not too far from the shack. With the awkward tension between both twins, he needed the time alone to gather his thoughts. Plus the fresh air was something he was sorely missing. At least that was the plan, however as he was walking out the door, he was cornered by Stanford who handed him the shape-shifting alien they had found a few months back and had taken in as a pet.
“Shifty needs some fresh air.” Stanford said quickly before disappearing into the basement.
Fiddleford sighed and carried the slimey sprog in the baby harness that the three of them had bought for it. On his way out the door Fiddleford grabbed a newspaper for Shifty to read and scurried to the nearest clearing in the woods.
“Okay, so Stanley needs something big to cheer him up.” Fiddleford said, tapping his chin. 
Shifty made a squelching noise. Its harness was taken off and left on a rock so it could move but couldn’t escape. Beside it was the newspaper. It would flick over a page every so often, making baby-like giggles at the bright colours it saw.
“Right, and I can't just do that overnight.” Fiddleford gesticulated as he spoke. “Can’t grow a tree in a day, but I have to try.”
“Bekh.”
“Ugh, you’re right. Even if I give him a date to end all dates that won’t mean anything if Ford comes running. And that’s not considering future endeavors.” Fiddleford sighed. He walked over and took a seat on the rock next to Shifty.
“Coo-Woo!” Shifty cheered. It had turned a page of the newspaper.
“What are you even saying.” Fiddleford shook his head. 
“Coo-Woo!” Shifty repeated. They stuck their tiny arms in the air.
Fiddleford picked up the shape shifter and took a look at the page it was staring at. It had a picture of several clowns with sharp teeth and brightly coloured blasters chasing after some people. On the other page was an advert for some promotional decaffeinated coffee. “Killer Clowns from Outer space?” He read.
“Cloon…” Shifty tried repeating after Fiddleford. 
“Well, he does enjoy clowns. If that recent home invasion arrest is anything to go by.” Fiddleford said under his breath. “Plus this looks schlocky as anything. But how do I deal with Stanford?”
“Stafford!” The shape shifter cheered, wiggling in Fiddleford’s hand. 
“You know, you might be onto something.” Fiddleford looked at the shapeshifter, an idea forming in his mind.
 Xxx
Stanley held his armrest in the car with a white knuckle grip. It wasn’t unusual for others to drive cars. In fact many would argue that that was in fact a normal part of real life. However, there was a difference between other people driving in different cars, and someone else driving his car. But Fiddleford had promised him that this was important, and despite their argument, Stan couldn’t say no to his boyfriend.
He was so distracted by Fiddleford driving that he hadn’t noticed where they were driving to. It wasn’t until they had parked and walked past the sign listing the films playing at the cinema that he pieced it together. 
“Killer Clowns?” Stan smirked. “How’d you know I wanted to see that?”
“I’ll never tell.” Fiddleford winked.
“Well you probably drank some science juice from Ford’s lab and read my mind.” Stan dug his hands into his pockets while fiddleford paid for their tickets. “Speaking of the nerd, you said you found a way to stop him from cutting our dates short. Wanna spill the beans on that? Or is that also part of your magician act?”
“We’ll see by the time we get back.” Fiddleford promised. “Now lets see how many snacks we can pocket without having to pay.”
“God I love you.” Stan said, following Fiddleford with a spring in his step.
Meanwhile, back in the shack. Stanford was laying deep asleep at his desk. His usual coffee mug had been spiked with decaf. However, the reason he truly would not be able to move was the shapeshifter, sleeping on his lap like a cat. Weighing him down with the weight of a thousand suns.

Meowdy Saint! ^^ I was wondering what if Angel can telepathically read minds based on the person of their choosing on a daily basis. (Once per day) What would the entire cast of 14DWY think about? Would these thoughts be lighthearted or on the deeper more serious end?
Ren/[REDACTED] It's quite literally just Angel Angel Angel Angel Angel Angel Ang—
Moth Recent animanga spoilers!! Namely relating to Haruko and his latest hairstyle.
Violet She's considering whether it will rain and whether she'll need to move her potted plants again.
Elanor Not tripping over her own feet, if she remembered to brush her hair this morning, whether or not they fixed the broken book covers this morning, etc.
Conan If it's too cold in the employee lounge again or if it's just him lmao
Jae Whether or not he'll have time for a quick surf before meeting up with Teo.
Leon If his mother would like some pastries from the bakery down the street, whether or not he should visit Angel at work, going to the beach, etc.
Teo Going to an abandoned rooftop for a moment to himself. Or keying someone's car lol
Olivia What she wants to eat for lunch and if there are any snacks in her bag.
Kiara She'd be thinking about new design ideas and making a mental checklist of all the things she'd need to do in the office.

Yessss talk bout your SCP AU! Have you thought about returning to it with another story? I will fuel this fire with my whole ass soul!!!
I meant to answer this ask ages ago ಥ﹏ಥ I’m sorry. I did really want to do proper fics that weren’t formatted like the documents, to allow for more explanation on the events! Plus if I do different perspectives I think it could be really neat and spooky <3 I wanted to do it but it’s such a niche thing I didn’t know if anyone would want that aha
But I compiled all my notes on the SCPs I made if you (or anyone else) wants to see some thoughts on my process! (Some of this was stated in that last ask but I went ahead and just included it here too for more concise information)
Starting off with the general information: The Mobile Task Force unit that handles this facility is Vanguard, which was chosen as a reference to Vanguard Action Squad that the LOV temporarily had. This facility is Site-78 located in Japan (this information was kept from the documents for mystery). 
Ujiko is the Site Director for this location, having his hands in being responsible for collecting research on every single subject here as well as hand selecting his personnel. He works closely with All for One who is on the board of directors for the SCP foundation. All for One has his hands in many facilities, greedily collecting and hiding away SCPs for research and experimentation purposes. He lives for the power trip he gets having sole access to multiple priceless creatures and objects.
Tomura | SCP-9404 (404 for his birthday being April 4th)
When hearing reports about him before finding him they thought he was a poltergeist
Shows bend around the subject to make it appear much darker than it is
Silhouette resembles that of a moth (like the moth symbolism/allegory he’s had in canon)
He has a decaying touch (like his quirk, more restrictive though)
Special containment will be needed
Because of his unstable nature he’ll need to be medically induced coma (would be put into a goopy tube like the one he gets put into by Ujiko in canon)
Special gloves, to aid in preventing the decay (similar to ones used that are headcanoned by the fandom)
Gets along the best with Spinner (only SCP he’s ever come in contact with, mimics their closeness in canon)
Multiple incident reports regarding him since he was discovered
They stupidly assumed that he would be easy enough to control
Was the worst when he first showed up and then again when he escaped
His escape attempt put him into a permanent coma because of the damage he caused and now they think he’ll kill everyone and/or escape again
Dabi | SCP-9118 (118 for his birthday being January 18th)
Firebug
Prone to catching on fire when his emotions are high strung
Changed to raising in temperature when he’s emotions get out of control
Might be just a composite of flames
Could've burned away all skin and the charred bones are the only thing left (mimicking the fact that only Touya’s jaw bone was found)
Also needs special containment
Various heat resistant equipment needed (ways to put out the fire, redacted Grade level suits, sprinkler system and precautions for putting out said fire)
Found in a forest after fight with his family (again mimicking how Touya was found by AFO in the forest the night he “died”)
Enji experimented on Touya causing him to turn into the monster he is now. This will lead to heavy investigation by Ujiko and All for One.
Inspiration found in SCP-457
Containment procedure and description aid
Toga | SCP--9807 (807 for her birthday being August 7th)
SCP with the ability to turn into other people?
Maybe she only does it for the people she’s obsessed with/likes
Vampire? 
A knife that has a red sparrow carved into the handle
Direct reference to the story of the pretty red bird that she told
When someone touches and wields the knife, the user begins experiencing hallucinations of that same red sparrow
Upon touching the SCP: All positive feelings towards other people gets turned into extreme infatuation before being twisted by the red sparrow to convince the user to kill them to bathe in their blood to “become one”
Toga is D-Class 15731 (Chapter 57 and Episode 31 was her debut in the series)
Has an obsession with three D-Class personnel: (2) female and (1) male
One of the most feared D-Class as she is the only one that managed to escape
Based on the fact that I genuinely think that Toga is the best (skill wise but also bc she’s baby girl) League Member <3
Spinner | SCP-9808 (808 for his birthday being August 8th)
He’s a lizard
No, really. Just a humanoid lizard.
Easiest one to convert over
Simple containment, simple procedures
Docile, he just likes video games
Maybe a video game tournament gets set up because the site researchers wanted to relax a little
He tries to convince all personnel that “It’s only a skin condition”
He never tried to fight staying here because he doesn’t have to pay rent
Only wants junk food
He lives for convenience store food
Twice | SCP-9510 (510 for his birthday being May 10th) 
I don’t fucking know yet
Ditto. He’s a fucking Ditto.
Grey/black blob. It scuttles around.
Inspiration taken from SCP-999
It's weird mass consumes the object and it returns back before parts of the blob breaks off to form and copy what it was touching
Considered Safe because he’s actually very friendly!
Toga (D-Class) has interacted with him
He loves being around her and she thinks he gives the best hugs
Mr. Compress | SCP-9102 (10 for his birthday being in October [I incorrectly remembered his birthday and completely fucked that up and already written it down too many times so I didn’t change the 2 to an 8])
Someone who got affected by a mask
Inspired by the multiple mask patterns that we’ve seen Mr Compress wear in canon
Gotta figure out what it does
The pattern changes on the mask depending on his mood
Never let it go blank
He’s honestly harmless for the most part tbh
Just fucking creepy
He was a street performer that got a mask from the black market
Giran is the one running the black market that he got it from
Ujiko and All for One would love to get ahold of that man
Him and the mask have a great relationship. So he has an easy ability to take it off or put it on.
The mask really likes how well he plays into the role 
He got caught by the foundation because he literally rose from a street performer to a professional on stage performer overnight
His charisma and agility and other skills magnified dramatically when he has the mask on
He’s quite a boring man when he takes it off
I’m a little mean to Atsuhiro
He loves wearing it because he's putting on his persona
Some inspiration taken from SCP-035
Possession on others
Can be manipulative like 035 is but lacks the same drive to
Overhaul | SCP-8320 (SCP-8320-1) [8 for “8 Precepts of Death” and 320 because his bday is March 20th]
Kai was a researcher but got too close to an SCP and merged with it becoming infected
Constant battle of wills between Kai and the SCP
DID (dissociative identity disorder) metaphor. Kai gains control but doesn't remember what happened. Overhaul does. 
SCP-8320-1 is Dr. Chisaki with parts of Dr. Nemoto fused to. It looks like four arm Overhaul
Still a battle of wills between Dr. Chisaki and the mask because it's fighting for control.
The mask understands that it made a mistake choosing Dr. Chisaki because he’s too perfect of a host. 
Possibly has the ability to "overhaul" things
Fuses itself with its host. Overhauling the body to what it feels would be most useful. Makes it impossible to remove.
Takes control over the user. 
Has killed D-Class because it didn’t think they were worthy. 
Inspiration taken from SCP-035 and SCP-049
The manipulation that the mask has over the user and the the ways that it tries to get out (especially in the game)
Speech, mannerism, and containment of 049
The mask takes over (“infects”) the user, it draws the user into putting it on
People get two scents from the mask that draws them in
Mentha × Piperita (Peppermint) and Dianthus Caryophyllus (Carnation)
Two scents that Medieval Plague Doctors would put in their masks to help cover the scent of death
When the mask took over Researcher Chisaki the incident was bad
Diedoro on the task force was on his side and made his own men go to different areas. The security system got shut down by him and his men.
Locked under a level 6 classifications are Dr. Chisaki’s notes on different eight bullets
During the breakout, it fused with multiple people allowing it to escape containment, getting rid of them as it went “because they were no longer useful”
Ujiko let this happen. He wanted to see the lengths that Chisaki would go to when it came to this SCP
He’s seen his research, All for One has as well
All for the research
It backfired though because they thought they could contain him well enough. Keep a tight leash
Chisaki scares them because of how far he got. How much work he did in such a short period of time
(Based on personal headcanons [that have canon supporting evidence] that AFO kept tabs on Chisaki in canon)
Hari | SCP-8510 [8 for “8 Precepts of Death” and 510 because we put him around 5’10” in height]
SCP with hair-like appendages on his head that can extend at will. 
If it pierces flesh it will proceed to inject a paralytic substance. It only works on humans, also on humanoid SCPs but not animals
Immune to its own paralytic 
Similar to his quirk in canon
Cannot speak but can understand language. 
Horrible jokes give positive responses.
Has a white mask covering his face, cannot be removed. Cloak covering his body
No, nothing is under it. Why are you looking
When amused the front two appendages flap excitedly
Loves doing this when he sees Kai
Got out during Overhauls escape attempted where it proceeded to grab a lab coat off of a researcher it killed, wearing a hoodie to cover it's hair
Got pretty far, only being outed once he needed to start killing
The most loyal to Researcher Chisaki
Refuses to use his quirk on SCP-049
Hates being compared to SCP-049
Mimic | 8313 [8 for “8 Precepts of Death” and 313 because if you lay a 3 on its side it looks like an “m”]
An SCP that has taken over a plush doll
Sentient plush doll
Can transfer itself into other objects but likes the doll the most because it has hands
Doesn’t feel pain when you cut into the fabric
Obvious call to his quirk and his most used form
Can be kept happy by giving it money to count
In contact with Researcher Chisaki and was a loyal supporter of him
Almost got out of the facility if not for its anger issues
Started attacking a facility member
A note that the SCP can’t get into a object bigger than a refrigerator 
Reference to the comment that was made about Mimic’s quirk not being able to regularly affect anything bigger than a refrigerator
Setsuno | SCP-8222 [8 for “8 precepts of Death” and 222 because “Do not steal” is the second buddhist precept]
A harpy that loves collecting objects (klepto)
Call to his quirk that allows him to take things
Gets obsessions on people and things [treating people like objects]
Found a lady lover that he was head over heels for and kept gifting her with expensive things until she found out about his personal collection which she ran away with
She thought he was a beautiful creature but was terrified and unsure of what he’d do to her
Saw how much treasure and wealth he collected, choosing to risk taking it and running
Got a lot of money from it too (which is a call to Setsuno’s backstory of his fiance leaving him and leaving him  in debt)
This enraged him and he killed her before being detained by the SCP foundation
Don’t bring her up
Containment made with artificial sunlight and vegetation to accommodate him
Acer Palmatum (Japanese Maple) [commonly found tree in Japan]
Upon being broken out, he’ll quickly bond to Hojo and Tabe
Hojo | SCP-8777 (SCP-8777-3) [8 for “8 precepts of Death” and 777 because “Do not wear Jewelry” is the 7th buddhist precept and -3 because of the trash trio]
A humanoid SCP with crystal like growths coming off of his skin
Don’t want him to be just another humanoid. Quirk translated via the crystals
Crystals came from a mine?
He worked in a diamond mine that has been closed off now due to the effects it had on the workers (he was the only survivor)
The SCP is probably the crystal cavern. SCP-XXXX-1, SCP-XXXX-2, and SCP-XXXX-4 died. Hojo is SCP-XXXX-3.
Most people died in the mines trying to collect information and Hojo while the rest of them died shortly after returning
Some researchers and MTF/Personnel died in the decontamination process and research phase in the beginning
One of the other subjects from the cavern probably made it to the facility but died shortly after
Tabe is the only safe way known currently to dispose of the crystals 
Hojo grows and it has no effect on him at all making him the perfect way to research this growth in a more controlled environment
Some inspiration taken from SCPs like SCP-1730 for containment procedures
Tabe | SCP-8666 [8 for “8 precepts of Death” and 666 because “only eat at the proper time” is the 6th buddhist precept]
An SCP with a horrific appearance
Creepy stature, lanky & tall
Can open his mouth really wide, like inhumanly
Could consume a human being easily and quickly
No one is allowed to bring food anywhere near the containment as it sets him in a frenzy where he will devour anything in sight
Friends don’t eat friends. Only his friends can calm him down in a frenzy.
After the breakout none of the other people he’s bonded with are allowed to see him. Stricter rules put in place because of this
He's able to eat anything organic or inorganic without issue
Call to his quirk
There’s a warning for personnel not to toss cheerios into the SCP’s mouth
Tabe is not affected upon eating Hojo’s crystals
Tengai | SCP-8888 (D-13870) [8 for “8 precepts of Death” and 888 because “forbids taking shelter and resting under a luxurious canopy” is the final 8th buddhist precept | 13870 is because Tengai’s debut in the manga was chapter 138 and his debut in the Anime was episode 70)]
D-Class personnel who were affected by a set of buddhist prayer beads
108 beads total due to their symbolic meaning
Plus one prayer bead and a silk tassel
54 Rudraksha beads
54 Pearl beads (usually used for good luck and fortune, sometimes used for protection specifically)
User places the beads in their right hand and says the mantra after which it will produce a shield
The item produces a gold shield around the user
Nothing can get in and nothing can get out
It distorts sound
User must use only the middle finger and thumb to count each bead
If steps are not followed correctly (doing it wrong, in the wrong hand, dropping or mistreating the beads) then the user will experience burning in their hand and severe bad luck
Got picked up by Overhaul as the breakout was happening
One of the other D-Class personnel working on the SCP gets set up to test against Tomura’s SCP to see if the bubble can protect against its decay.
The answer is no and they die. Prayer Beads recover successfully. (Direct reference to that random dude that Overhaul shouted to jump in front of him when he met with the LOV for the first time)
Rappa | SCP-8111 (D-13886) [8 for “8 precepts of Death” and 111 because “Do not kill” is the first buddhist precept | 13886 is because Rappa’s debut in the manga was chapter 138 and his debut in Vigilanties was chapter 86]
SCP was found being worn by someone who got ahold of a pair of brass knuckles
Found in a fight ring underground
This is a reference to Rappa fighting in that fighting ring in the Vigilanties Manga series
The brass knuckles enhances the users strength well above human levels
The knuckles causes the wearer to go into a enraged furious frenzy
Other users reported that they felt the need to fight anyone they saw to the death
That they needed to find a worthy opponent
Rappa was the researchers favorite subject to use since he was happy to go along with it since he liked having the excuse to fight and kill other D-Class
Respected Researcher Chisaki and aided him the breakout because of it
He was manipulated into being on good terms with him since Kai knew he’d be easier to control that way
Katsukame | SCP-8333 [8 for 8 precepts of Death” and 333 because “abstain from sexual activity” is the third buddhist precept]
Some large creature, people might’ve thought was a bear that got a jar stuck on its head
Always tries to have something on its head, the information regarding its face is redacted because the last time someone tried to take anything he puts on his face off became a stain on the wall that they still can’t get out
This is only because I literally can’t picture him without a mask or something covering his face and he’s the only person who never got a face reveal in the Hassaikai
Looks like a really large Black Bear (specifically Ursus thibetanus [asian black bear]) with weird ass characteristics
Weights roughly 220kg
Grossly enlarged muscle mass three (3) times that of standard black bear with the ability to move objects over 450kgs with a single paw
Ability to run up to 80kph
Bite Force of over 1000 psi
Ability to see surroundings effectively despite its face being covered
Similar containment to Setsuno
Artificial sunlight, grass and plants
Normal diet of a bear but upgraded to fit his size
He really likes Dr. Chisaki and follows him around like a cub following his mama
Dr. Chisaki is the only one who managed to gain its trust and take the container off
When the other researchers questioned him after he quickly put the container back on its face, all he said was “No.”
It got added in the notes that no one can comprehend the SCPs face, but can’t confirm because no one else has tried and lived and Chisaki always says “No”
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE BUCKET FROM SCP-8333’S HEAD
Incredibly intelligent and has the ability to communicate through buttons on the ground that speak certain words and phrases out loud
Like those dogs that are trained to communicate to their owners
Nemoto
Conman supreme and researcher
Bachelor's Degree in Biochemistry (B.S.) and a Doctorate Degree in Experimental Psychology (PH.D.)
He tests out certain SCPs, probably leads most of them
He was put on the Overhaul SCP case and after much insistent wanted to test it out
He had become possessed by the mask but was released
It wanted to use him and chose to let him go since it figured out how easy he would be to control
One of the only people known to have been released, especially since it won't let go of Kai
Ujiko let him stay on the SCP case and around it because he wanted to see more of what the SCP would do
It's why Nemoto thinks he's special
He's very loyal to the entity
Has countless research on various SCPs and worked closely with Researcher Chisaki
Is killed because the mass breakout attempt
Deidoro
Task Force member that abuses his power and is usually always drunk
Damn good accuracy though
Inside guy that Overhaul’s SCP spared because he helped Dr. Chisaki
Mobile Task Force Sigma-10 “Vanguard”
Never took the main Leader position because he didn’t want that level of responsibility
Is killed because of the mass breakout attempt

Homunculi Headcanon 14
@moth-time replied to your post:
do it do it
Ok let’s do this thing.
Football is a growing sport in Amestris, though each club tends to only play against other local clubs within its sector. So Central will play most often against clubs also in the Central sector, compared to those in the Eastern sector. In time, and with the increased use of railways, matches further a field might be arranged. Central has several football teams, but the main ones are Central Park FC, known as the Rangers, and Central FC.
The Homunculi had a slight lull in operations while letting the Fuhrer Candidates be raised. Between considering when to kill off Fuhrer Armstrong and set up his successor before Wrath, they had some free time.
So, in the late 1860s, Pride created the alias Zach Stubbs and joined the under-13s football club near Central Park. Pride took this surname from a nickname he had among the local boys in the South while he was setting up the Fifth Crest in 1835. He says he only killed and ate the neighbourhood boys because they were no longer needed, but his time with them was enjoyable nonetheless and left enough of an impression on him to reuse the name they gave him.
Pride joined under his regular form, posing as just a short 12-year old and aging slowly from there. He had been practicing stretching his container into an older form for longer periods of time, so appearing to be older for football matches and training became possible for him. He used the Homunculi’s military influence to help fund the club, as well as some local charities, so as to benefit the military’s public image at the same time. There were no football uniforms back then, so some of the money went to making the team’s scarves, green and white like the Amestrian flag.
He tended to get referred to just by his surname on the pitch, but after a while his middle name gained some prominence. His middle name is not exactly a secret but it’s something you’ll have to puzzle out for a little bit. Because he never let anyone else try for goal if he ended up with the ball, people used to say “Leave it to [middle name redacted]”, and he was in fact very good at scoring goals. Lust occasionally watched some of his matches, and Envy, too.
Pride played uncontested for some time, one of his favourite matches being when he demolished a team from outside Central City called the Kelpies. However, upon joining the Central Park Rangers’ under 16s team at “15”, finally able to specialise in being a striker like he wanted, he found an opponent.
Envy had had enough hearing about Central’s talented new player, running around, showing off, wearing Envy’s favourite colour, and was determined to embarrass him by making him fail in front of everyone. He created Endymion Albright, Central FC’s new goalkeeper, tall and lanky enough for his age to not be suspicious if any of his limbs stretched a little too far during dives. He’d been a trainee in secret for a few months, so made his debut right at the same time Pride swapped to the older team. Even though he wasn’t bulky or wide everyone called him a wall, though Pride would jeer that he was more of a tower.
The unstoppable force vs. immovable object paradox in CPR’s striker and CFC’s goalkeeper only made the rivalry between the two teams intensify, and they met on several occasions. Lust got to look in more often on how her brothers were doing, saying she was Endymion’s older sister, Penelope, there to support her brother, or saying that she was scoping out the competition when watching Pride’s matches.
The final match they played against each other was tied 1-1 for a goal Pride did not score, when he tried to make it 2-1 in the closing minutes, only for Envy to catch it. Did you know some ties were broken in football by coin toss? I wonder who won…
Pride had to retire in 1873 when Wrath was finally “born”, and the photograph taken at Central Park was the one of if not his last appearance for the club. Given the military endorsement, he probably made some excuse that he wanted to enlist and focus on military work. Pride returned to his container’s default form while teaching Wrath and the debacle with the future Mrs Bradley, so his role faded from public view over the years and isn’t that well known nowadays.
Tumblr media
Without Pride around, Envy likewise retired to be able to keep an eye on Wrath, though might have been tempted a few times to visit the club again. Acting as Wrath’s colleague at work had its perks, too. It gave Envy lots of chances to see Wrath embarrass himself in front of his future wife, and in 1881 he got to be Best Man at his wedding.
Pride and Lust also got to reuse their personas for the wedding, attending as Zachary and Penelope Stubbs (née Albright).
Pride and Envy still support their respective teams in a distant way, still owning the scarves from when they played. If real uniforms with numbers on get invented by 1914, they’d buy ones with 1 and 4 on them respectively.

Helloo!! I hope you're good <3 I wannted to ask for (REDACTED) where the MC have a realy big upcoming exam but cannot be motivated and diciplined. I cant realy tell a specific scenario unfortunatly but i realy need motivation to stay focused so i wanted to ask about it.
Hi hi I am well~ hope you are too <3 one serving of [REDACTED] for motivation
14 Days With You is an 18+ Yandere Visual Novel. MINORS DNI
~Low Motivation Angel~
Still slightly damp from the shower, you finally felt somewhat ready to study. You meant to do it earlier, really. But so many things had gotten in the way: a new update on a mobile game, leaks of the next Attack on Giants episode, a cat you saw in the lobby.
You weren't procrastinating! It'd get done eventually—just as soon as you watched a video Moth had sent. You eagerly pressed the play button on your phone, bright eyed as you walked into the living room.
A bowl of water and peas was placed on the bare ground in front of a pair of hungry ducks running towards the camera. Before they could descend in a frenzy on the food, your screen froze, then turned dark.
One pale, scarred hand grabbed the phone from your grasp. “Hey!” you complained and turned towards the offender. You didn’t think to wonder how they shut off your phone before even touching it.
[REDACTED] stared down at you with a pointed look, the device held high above your head. “Didn't y’say you were going to study after your shower? Exam’s in a few days.” He nodded towards your textbook on the coffee table, practically collecting dust.
You huffed and reached up in an attempt to grab it. “I've got time! Just give it back.” The phone was quickly placed in your outstretched hand before you knew it. “Oh. Thank you.” 
As you turned it back on and plopped down on the couch, the dark-haired hacker was mentally kicking himself. They really needed to figure out how to say no to you. It was a long standing habit that would only be a hindrance now. He knew how upset you’d be if you didn’t do well on your exam.
He took a seat next to you. “Please, Angel,” they tried again, gently pulling you closer to get your attention. “Even if it’s only for an hour, y’need to study.” The sudden pleading frown on your face had him fighting his instincts that were desperate to give in. Not to mention the abandoned puppy vibes you gave off with your wet hair. He managed to tear his gaze away, though his resolve was already crumbled into nothing. 
In fact, now that he reconsidered it, you didn't need to study. They'd just hack your exam score in the system. Or make the whole thing simply go away. Bribe the professor, find where they live and—
“I guess you’re right,” you sighed, unaware of what was going through his mind. All the scheming grinded to a halt the moment he heard your breathtaking voice. “But it's so hard to get anything done. I'm not sure if I'll be able to stay on track by myself.” You worriedly glanced at the intimidating cover of your textbook.
Your boyfriend was eager to help, but just as eager to jump at the chance of being in your presence for longer. Immediately, he offered an idea. “I could stay with you. Keep y’focused on work ‘n all that.” 
The worry on your face melted away, replaced with a smile of relief. “That'd be a huge help.” You looked down at the phone still in your hand before sheepishly holding it out to them. “Maybe you should hold onto this, though. Just in case?”
Without a word he took it to hide in the confines of his pocket. As you picked up the textbook and suddenly curled up at their side to get comfortable, the familiar scent of your shampoo wafted up to their nose. [REDACTED] had to remind himself to stay focused. Nothing would get done if he turned into a distraction.
