James and Lily are the kind of couple that sends everyone into bisexual panic. Simultaneously, they'd also make everyone who isn't in a relationship (and probably even some who are) feel loney af.

in your swap AU; how does pike wizard/amber, slime wizard/goobert and most importantly (the precious and need to be protected) lonely wizard would look like ?

are they now grimora's pupils now or still with mags but they are now undead ?

HI OK IM SO EXCITED TO ANWSER THIS BECAUSE I AM SOOO SO NORMAL ABOUT IT HEHAHDJAKDJADJ!!!

THERES A LOTOF STUFF UNDER THE CUT

So with magmento (mags), I did originally plan to have his pupils be in the crypt but it was getting too long. They're grimmoras pupils traits, But they have His students names and a few key features.

Pike wizard -> Decapitated Scholar

"Do not pity me, It was all worth my while."

Being a mortician before she died, She had made new ways to cremate the dead and be preserved longer. However she ended up dying from a mixture of chemical poisoning after inhaling some of the ingredients used in said embalming and an unfortunate accident. Her skin had become more frail and she had restered her head on one of the spikes on her fence. Poor baby got impailed without even realising it :[. She hopes that she could use her body to make a less deadly way of preservation, To no avail yet. She looks pretty similar to normal Amber but instead of a helmet she wears a mourning veil! Also her little spike is a singular fence post that looks a lot more fancy. She has the same concept as Amber, Hurting herself to be more appreciated by her scrybe (although its more the concept of death she was trying to pay respects to) and still being in servitude when the player comes.

Goobert (my baby boy <3) -> Goo pile

"Please, Please! Arghhhh... Battle me! I'm promise I am more than just a gnarled mess!"

Died in a horrible accident, Something that contorted and squished him past being recognized. His death was more famous than the life he lived, So now he strives to be remembered for something other than his death! He's trying so hard, please just give him affection :[. a lil kissie on the head for always trying new things and working to be good at them! He looks pretty similar to goobert, if not more. Gross <3. I’M SORRY BUT HE WOULD BE NASTY… He would be a pile of just random sludge and liquids, if you’re lucky you could find bits of melted skin? Purrrhapes his ghostly body would piece itself together but even then he would look like a nasty little pile of grossness. I love you babay… but you are nasty.. I would still hold him though!! Just put the goofy goober in a jar again please.

Lonely wizard (ALSO MY BABAY!!) -> Loney Dominguez

"PLAY A GAME! PLEASE?! I need something to do!"

He was quite young when he died, Being a coma was terrible considering he was such a rambunctious kid! He couldnt see or hear or move, but he could feel his body and think. Even when he died, Magmento trapped him in his coffin out of fear. He's not good with kids... Especially ones that are 6 FEET TALL. That may have been related to his death but I haven't decided yet. Also think of just a huge coffin that's hidden away under the main room, the player finds it and he’s just like. “Oh yeah, that's the crazy kid, He bites. I think.” And then you just see the coffin violently shake and scream. He has normal anatomy and would just be a very VERY rotting body. Like yes, he has formed, just melty and turning into goop. Maybe a few bugs live with him so he isn’t as lonely… Also think it would be funny if he still had a hyper fixation about wizards out of spite. Let my baby like his wizards damnit.

James cobb -> James Hobbes

"Oh neat. A player, Let's do it."

A mellow player who died... How did he die? His tombstone says he drowned but he doesn't have any signs of it like the others do. In fact he might even tell you that it's fake. He won't tell you how he actually died but as long as it solves the puzzle who cares? He's probably the most normal guy you'll meet, Also is very tired. Like. let the guy nap. please. strangely modern. Uses slang and sometimes makes suggestive comments but he's a baby girl for that. He’s actually a fairly healthy corpse, Only slightly pale and occisonally goes stiff. His hands are deathly cold but at least his hair is still a bright red. Good for him! Good for him :].

GRIMETHS ARE SO SILLY PDSUIAUFHIUFHW MANIC LAUGHTER

James Cobb -> Kaycee Cobb

“Don’t you wonder what’ll happen? C’mon, I wanna find out.”

IM TALKING F. R. E. AY KAYYYY. SHE IS MY FAVORITE CAN YOU TELL BATTING MY EYELASHES SO MUCH WHEN I TALK ABOUT HER. ANyways she’s the sillayest wizard ever. She doesn’t take herself seriously and just straight up tells the player that she enjoys being stuck in there. Its literally her dream and she uses magic to fuck herself up. She can finally have gender goals of occasionally turb herself into whatever the fuck she wants! Don't like feeling of skin? SIMPLY BECOME A SKINLESS BEING FOR A LIL! god i love her sm… She definitely indulges in the whole wizard shit and has a whole over the top outfit. other than that still very greasy <3

Lonely wizard -> Royal Wizard (GOD I LOVE HIM)

“YARGGGG! WATCH ME SKILLS, YE LANDLUBBER!!”

Oh my god. Peek tism. Category five tism events. He's a pirate obsessed wizard who has a problem with summoning things. Specifically. a ford f150. vehicular manslaughter never ends. He's very confident in his skills and thinks he should be a head wizard or at the very least a card, However he can only do a few spells… God he’s so silly I love him. He's a low poly pirate that I’m thinking of making black. give mah boy some pirate dreads!!! Why? Because IT LOOKS COOL. Anyways he locked away in a ship in a bottle by Grimeth as a “final test”. He's never getting out.

Goobert -> Stinking mass

“Ohhhh… Yes… Perhaps I’ll cast a spell that will finally make me disappear..”

Oughhh… Gender dysophoria baby… I love you poor baby. Turned himself into a pile of… Something? Honestly he doesn't even know. His final test is to turn back, And he’s trying real hard! The thing is, It would probably be easier if he was going to transform into who originally was but he didn't like how liked he looked… He wants to transform into something better to prove himself to be better than how he looked. god my baby. i need to hold him.

Bone lord -> Eye.

Need I say more? Its a painted eye in a black room that speaks in fucking wing dings.

Rod Serling ֍ Jack Warden in The Twilight Zone Season 1 Episode 7: The Loney (1959)

Witness if you will, a dungeon, made out of mountains, salt flats, and sand that stretch to infinity. The dungeon has an inmate: James A. Corry. And this is his residence: a metal shack. An old touring car that squats in the sun and goes nowhere—for there is nowhere to go. For the record, let it be known that James A. Corry is a convicted criminal placed in solitary confinement. Confinement in this case stretches as far as the eye can see, because this particular dungeon is on an asteroid nine-million miles from the Earth. Now witness, if you will, a man's mind and body shriveling in the sun, a man dying of loneliness.

Listed: R.E. Seraphin

Whether kicking out raucous, throaty garage jams with Impediments a decade ago, or exploring power-poppier terrain with Talkies and more recently under his own initials, Ray Seraphin tells his stories in the radiance just above the fuzz. Sung low and hoarse, his lyrics blink in and out of reality, propelled by the instruments’ lively buzz and echo. Ruptured by an explosive guitar lead here or punctuated by a tidy, melodic bass riff there, this music doesn’t sit still. It’s familiar but captivating, a potent rock and roll fusion of lo-fi attitude and sweeping hit-record moves. Alex Johnson called his latest release, Fool’s Mate, “dynamic and buoyant… a bright, powerful album with lurid desperation creeping in from the edges.”

Here are 10 of Seraphin’s formative records, books, and movies:

Outrageous Cherry — Out There in the Dark

When I was 17, my bandmate’s partner loaned this CD to me and I held onto it for a number of years before she was able to pry it back. I loved the pairing of Matthew Smith’s arch wordplay and Larry Ray’s mercurial guitar work. They are one of the classic vocalist-guitarist duos to me — up there with Bowie-Ronson, Ferry-Manzanera, Rollins-Ginn. All of their albums are great. Not to sound trite but they really should be better known!

Ralph Bakshi — Wizards

When I was fired from my first job at Arinell’s Pizza, the manager gave me a 1/2 pint of Ancient Age, a CD copy of Butthole Surfers’ Independent Worm Saloon, and a VHS copy of Wizards as my severance package. He proceeded to drink the whiskey with me (at 9am) but, mercifully, stopped short of insisting we watch Wizards together. The film is lifted into classic status by Bakshi’s signature crude and wild animation style despite a fairly ho-hum future-fantasy plot. Still visually arresting.

John Barth — The End of the Road

I was an English literature major in college and, because I fancied myself a Serious Person, I read a lot of books I didn’t understand in my extracurricular time. I’ve read a few of John Barth’s more celebrated, metaphysical works but this early, "realistic" story is the one that stuck with me. There’s a bleakness and ugliness to the book that feels really transgressive — albeit not in an edgy, cornball way. Plus, as someone who probably suffers from some form of executive dysfunction, I somewhat relate to the protagonist Jake’s crisis of self.

The Real Kids — Outta Place

Over the years, my music has largely been referred to as power pop. I chafe against the term a little bit but can't say I’m entirely allergic to it. The Real Kids likely represent my first real interest in the genre. Their self-titled album is their best, most complete work; however, I more frequently listen to their New Rose-era.

Flamin’ Groovies — “Whiskey Woman”

Growing up, the Flamin’ Groovies were the consummate rock group. They represented band-ness to me in a way few others did. In my mind, it’s The Replacements, NRBQ, The Faces, maybe Cheap Trick, and the Flamin’ Groovies. Their early records have this cartoonish, shambolic post-Stones vibe I love — the Roy Loney effect. That said, I was drawn to this somewhat atypical ballad sung by their guitarist, Cyril Jordan. I think this is the song that made me realize you could end a song with something other than a double chorus.

Tommy James — “Ball and Chain”

My record collection did and does consist almost entirely of dollar bin records. I bought this record on a whim at a garage sale and became enamored of James’ weird, Christian bubblegum world. The fuzz guitar (maybe played by Tommy himself?) on this song is absolutely psychotic. Big fan.

Kirsty MacColl — “They Don't Know”

I discovered Stiff Records through a CD box set my mom owned. Initially, I was lured by the rockin’ entries in their catalog: Nick Lowe, Wreckless Eric, Larry Wallis, The Damned, et al. I also adored Rachel Sweet and Kirsty MacColl, though. A perfect song that contains the most affecting use of the word "baby" in the history of pop music.

Thee Headcoatees — Girlsville

I vaguely remember being stoned at a friend’s house when I was 16 and getting introduced to this Headcoatees album. I nicked a riff for one of my first songs, "Pig Out," which I licensed to a vegan pork rind company 10 years later. To this day, I don’t know what song I ripped off and it may not have even been by Thee Headcoatees. But Thee Headcoatees are cool, so here you go!

Flannery O’Connor — Wise Blood

I attribute my interest in American fiction writing to Flannery O’Connor. The atmosphere in her stories is so suffocating and anxiety-inducing — in a good way. I think reading this was the first time I understood the emotional impact great writing can have. I have a slight preference for her short stories now but, keeping in the spirit of this list, Wise Blood was my first, most enduring exposure to her work.

Zero Boys — Vicious Circle

I grew up in Berkeley, home of the Gilman St. Project, and I think a lot of my peers in high school expected me to be into hardcore. The Zero Boys are probably the one the clicked with me the most. They were melodic and seemed still tethered to rock n’ roll. Could be because they cited The Dictators as an influence. I was wearing a Vicious Circle t-shirt the first time I was dumped but I don't hold that against them.

"HACKSAW IS GIVEN TO PRISONER," Niagara Falls Review. October 2, 1933. Page 1. --- Lascelles held, charged aiding in escape; Tells story. ---- BAR WAS USED ---- Previous visitor had given the accused saw to escape. ---- Wilbrod Lascelles, 20, of the Savoy Hotel, was tried in police court this morning on a charge of assisting Arthur Grandmason to escape from the tramp room at police headquarters on the afternoon of September 15th. The Magistrate reserved his decision until later in the day. Crown Attorney T. D. Cowper, K.C. conducted the prosecution and Lascelles had no counsel. The witnesses were Detective Hughes, Constable James Loney, Mr. E Scott, caretaker at the city hall, and Mrs. Love, Queen Street, who gave testimony for the Crown. Lascellen went into the witness box: and stated that he did not assist Grandmason. He had no witnesses.

Detective Hughes stated that Grandmason was held at police headquarters for the parole officer on instructions received from Chief Parole Officer Bell, He was placed in the cell on September 12 and escaped three days later.

Constable Loney testified that Lascelles came into the police office at two o'clock on the after noon of September 15th and obtained permission to visit Grandmason in his cell. Twenty-five minutes later Lascelles came upstairs and told him Grandmason wanted to see him. Grandmason requested removal from his small cell to the tramp room to have an opportunity to wash up and exercise. The Sergeant gave the necessary permission and the transfer was made, Constable Loney said. At that time he received a call to Buchanan Avenue and was away from the police station about an hour. When he returned he was advised that Grandmason had escaped.

The broken lock off the tramp room door and an iron bar were found inside the tramp room, Constable Loney said. The iron bar was later identified by the caretaker as an instrument he had stored in the furnace room. Mr. Scott said he noticed Lascelles leave the police station about three fifteen o'clock and fifteen minutes later discovered Grandmason's breakaway. He said the outside door to the furnace room was usually kept locked from the inside and could not be opened from the outside but he did not examine it that day to see if it was locked before Grandmason escaped.

Mrs. Love, who is an aunt of Grandmason, said that Lascelles visited her house at three thirty o'clock that afternoon and wanted to get Grandmason's car, He told her he had asked Grandmason for the loan of it and wanted to use It but she refused to let him have the car stating that he would have to consult her husband. Ten minutes later Detective Hughes and Constable Spring told her that Grandmason escaped.

Lascelles stated that he went to the police office at three o'clock in the afternoon and stayed there. ten minutes after Grandmason was placed in the tramp room. He declared the rear door of the furnace room was open and the market clerk came through while he was there, passing into another room. Lascelles stated that Claude Cote who voted Grandmason earlier in the afternoon brought a hacksaw blade and is now with the missing prisoner.

Following the trial the Magistrate looked over the layout of the cells the basement of the City Hall.

ooh you mentioned buying a folk horror anthology in the tags of that horror post, can i ask which one? i’d love to read more folk horror but i don’t really know where to start (also if you have other folk horror recs i would not be upset)

Yeah of course, happy to help! I bought The Fiends in the Furrows: An Anthology of Folk Horror edited by David T. Neal which features stories by current writers (and there's a second anthology with more).

If you're looking to start with some classic folk horror then there's a few major authors and stories that are worth checking out (many of these should be available to read online for free):

'The White People' by Arthur Machen

'The Lottery' by Shirley Jackson

'The Black Reaper' by Bernard Capes

'The Ash Tree' by M. R. James

'Pallinghurst Barrow' by Grant Allen

'The Willows' by Algernon Blackwood

Ritual by David Pinner (basis for The Wicker Man)

'The Music on the Hill' by Saki

The Great God Pan by Arthur Machen

'The Sin Eater' by Fiona MacLeod

Harvest Home by Thomas Tryon

'The Children of the Corn' by Stephen King

And if you want some recent folk horror then these are worth a go:

The Loney by Andrew Michael Hurley

The Owl Killers by Karen Maitland

The Daylight Gate by Jeanette Winterson

Ghost Wall by Sarah Moss

The Plague Stones by James Brogden

Through the Woods by Emily Carroll (graphic story collection)

The Ritual by Adam Nevill (honestly the film is much better and well worth watching, but the first half of the book is fantastic)

Wakenhyrst by Michelle Paver (gothic horror meets folk horror)

The Hidden People by Alison Littlewood

Dark Harvest by Norman Partridge

The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones (not a traditional folk horror novel but it explores the role of Native American folklore & culture in the modern day in a really interesting way)

The Reddening by Adam Nevill

Pine by Francine Toon
