[ringchollyandfriends]

This might change and knowing me, I'll end up choosing the less popular name, but outside input helps me decide.

Names are in no particular order.

*I would like to mention that Kangaroo means the bouncy animal, but also "Roux" which is related to food AND means "red head" in French.

I hate the stupid gif vs jif argument. I don't hold a strong opinion on either, so I end up using both.

Since it stands for Graphic Interchange Format, I’ll always call it “Gif” until we pronounce “Graphic” as “Jraphic,” bc I think it’s just silly to not even tho the creator wants us to and that’s just how my brain processes sound and abbreviations, but it’s not a hot button issue w me. Idc if other people call it a jiff to me, I just think it’s funny how wildly important the debate is to some. (Kind of like ketchup. Call it catchup to me and I won’t bat an eye. But I live in mortal fear of bringing both up to others because man some people do care.)

Doodle gift for @kangaroo-roux !!!!

As you can see, I have no idea how the hell to draw kangaroos.

I’ve been meaning to draw something for you for a while, but the fanart piece for one of your fics I had planned wasn’t really in my scope of talent. Maybe I’ll do it and just tone it down eventually.

[crashcoursemaster]

So uh..the cuphead OST is on spotify and uh...yeah that’s my only excuse to draw my husband and I from that era (roughly)

You may be familiar with the dingo (Canis lupus dingo) from Australia, but did you know this wild canine is also found in parts of Southeast Asia? It’s thought that the dingo was brought over to Australia by humans from mainland Asia thousands of years ago. In Australia, the dingo has adapted to various environments, from mountainous areas to deserts to tropical forests. It hunts opportunistically, in a group when taking on a larger target like a kangaroo or alone for smaller prey like rabbits. Rather than barking, it communicates through wolf-like howls.

PLEASE HELP ME FIND THESE JSE FICS

Probs last year or so, I read on a Tumblr a couple of cool fics I can’t find among the reblogs on my account or remember the authors or the titles of said fics. I’m hoping since then the ops have not deleted or deactivated- So ! Here are the summaries: First fic! So,Chase is sitting on his bed,and anti comes to 'visit' him. Chase want to ignore the demon,so he pays him no mind,but anti grabs his arm (or leg?) super tightly,and it hurt a bunch. i think Anti tries to talk to him,and at some point anti hug chase super tightly and Anti have his hand behind chase's head to force him deep into the hug and force his face to be pressed against his neck,and i think anti corrupts him this way ?  (gore/hand horror warning for this one)The second fic is Anti caught Chase,and is frustrated that Chase is no fun to torture,like,he refuse to scream and is too provocative,cuz he refuse to give Anti the satisfaction,and so Anti end up cutting one finger from Chase,(and ofc he's in pure pain) and Anti hold Chase tight and reassure him? (im sure it make more sense in context) and he says stuff like "shhh,we'll find it again later,its okay" and he kicks the finger away  I’m tagging some peeps who could have potentially written these, or they may know what i’m talking about hopefully ;u; Please reblog ! I’d love to read them again @beerecordings @astudyingreer @ari-trash @skyewardlight @scarlet-mangata @florenceisfalling @bupine @jaeyleo @sarinoxious @kangaroo-roux @crystalninjaphoenix @mysterio-is-the-truth @beebmo @spicydanhowell

I Have Just One Question (Part Two)

You pull up and get out of the car, immediately checking your watch. You’ve just barely made it in time, with mere minutes to spare.

You walk up to the house and run into a man dressed in a military uniform. He’s staring at the door, his hands folded behind his back, clearly nervous. He keeps glancing at a new, sleek, expensive-looking black car in the driveway. 

You hesitate, not wanting to disturb him. But he hears your footsteps and, after jumping a bit from realizing he was no longer alone, he turns and greets you. 

“Ah! You must be the district attorney! I am Colonel William, a pleasure to meet you. You’re Damien’s friend, yes?”

You nod.

“I wasn’t aware that you knew Aria.”

You’ve only met her a couple of times, you tell him. You really barely know her at all. You aren’t even sure why you’ve been invited to this party, or what the occasion is.

William pales. “Not a happy one, I’m afraid. But... best to leave our hostess to explain things, I think.”

He clears his throat and steps aside. “After you.”

You walk up and ring the doorbell. The butler opens the door, smiling. “Bonjour! Welcome to Markiplier Manor. It’s a pleasure to have you with us. May I see your invitation?”

You hand it to him.

“Thank you. Please, feel free to look around. The mistress will be down to start the festivities shortly.”

You thank him and walk into the house, hearing the butler repeat his words to William.

You walk into a den and find none other than Damien, holding a framed photograph and staring at it. You walk up, and look at the photo.

It’s of him, William, and the late actor Markiplier. They’re all smiling, looking as though the photo had been taken as they were laughing about something.

Damien’s eyes are watering.

You put a hand on his shoulder. He jolts, and yelps.

“Oh! It’s just you.” He wipes his eyes. “Sorry, old friend. It’s... just a difficult day. It’s been a year, now, since he... passed.”

Oh. So that’s the “occasion”.

You pat him on the back and offer your condolences. He smiles and wipes his eyes again.

“Thank you. It’s... I’ll be fine, I think. This place just... has a lot of memories.” He sniffs. “I-I’m sorry, if I could just... be alone for a moment.”

Of course, you say. You give him a quick hug and then walk away.

You go into the kitchen, just wandering aimlessly until the party begins. The chef is... preparing a meal? He’s sharpening his knives, so you hope that’s what he’s doing.

“Hey!” he barks when he notices you. “Stay out of my kitchen! I’m busy! The party’s out there!”

You put your hands up and back out of the room. 

Benjamin walks up to you, tray of drinks in hand. “Help yourself, the mistress is almost ready. If you wouldn’t mind waiting by the stairs?”

You take a drink and go to the bottom of the stairs. Damien, William, a woman in a black dress, and a man in a detective's cap all join you.

The woman keeps her eyes on the stairs, standing straight and stiff. William keeps glancing at her, and you can’t tell if it’s with longing or anger. Perhaps both. 

The man in the detective’s cap focuses on his drink. With all the tension in the air, and the strange solemn energy the group is radiating, you decide to follow suit. You take a sip of your drink, eyes widening at how strong it is. You shrug, and down it all as fast as you can.

Damien holds his in his hand, but doesn’t sip. It’s the first time you’ve seen him even touch alcohol in nearly a year.

“Welcome, welcome, one and all!”

The voice captures your attention, and you turn your eyes to the stairs.

A woman descends halfway, grinning. She’s wearing a simply gorgeous red silk dress, the color of fine red wine. It’s skirt is a simple, flattering cut, going down all the way to cover her feet. It’s torso is decorated with black lace, and there’s a white ascot curled around her neck and tucked into the front. Her hair is done up into a neat, perfect bun, and her lipstick is the same rich red as her dress. 

“It’s wonderful to see you all again, dear friends!” she says, still grinning. Her voice is captivating, loud and clear, commanding attention.

You glance over at Damien, who seems just as shocked as you are.

The few times you’d met Aria, she was... quiet. Friendly, but quiet. Not one to draw attention to herself.

She puts a hand to her chest, her grin becoming a more serious expression. “As you all know, one year ago today I lost my dear husband. He was an amazing, gifted man. He was the light of my life, my beloved. He was a happy man, and though he had his struggles, he persevered.”

“And then, on this fateful day, I found him... dead. At the bottom of a balcony, at a party not unlike this one.”

Everyone around you shifts uncomfortably. Damien grips his glass tight enough for his knuckles to go white, and you can see he’s holding back tears. William looks down at the ground, shutting his eyes tightly. The detective looks at Aria with concern, mouthing “What are you doing?” at her. The woman in the black dress looks down at the ground, a tear slipping down her face.

“The police ruled it a suicide,” Aria continues, her serious expression becoming... hardened. “They said my husband threw himself off that balcony. They said he likely couldn’t take the stress of seeing his old lover and old friend, together and happy, after all that he’d been through when they’d left.”

William lets out a sob. The woman in the black dress sniffles and wipes her eyes.

“But they were wrong.”

At this, everyone stiffens. All eyes raise to Aria.

She’s staring at the group with a cold, steely gaze. “I don’t believe my husband took his own life. I believe he was pushed over that railing.”

“Aria, what are you-”

“There were only four other people with us that night,” she continues, cutting Damien off. “You four.”

You glance around, unsure as to why you’re there as well. Out of the corner of your eye, you see the butler standing guard in front of the front door, keeping hsi eyes on all of you. You see the chef doing the same, standing in the den entryway, freshly-sharpened knife in his hand.

“Which means that one of you did it.” Her voice is hard and cold, like ice. 

“Tonight is no party, my friends,” she says, hissing the word. “Tonight, I have just one question.”

She reaches behind her, and pulls a gun out from behind her back. She points it down, drifting the barrel in front of each person’s face. She scowls.

“Who. Killed. Markiplier?”

Day 16- Pinned Down

“Jackie, snap out of it! Please!” Chase begged, his eyes widening in terror as he stared at Jackie’s. They were full of static, no recognition whatsoever in his crazy gaze.

His arms trembled against Jackie’s weight, panic seizing his chest as he noticed how vicious Jackie looked.

“Look at you, pathetic… I regret the day Jack created you!” Jackie sneered, “You’ve been nothin’ but a burden. I hate you, so much.”

Those words cut him like knives. Did… is that how Jackie— how all his brothers felt about him? His arms gave out and Jackie pinned him down. Jackie’s eyes slowly turned black, an evil grin curling on his lips.

“Jackie…” Chase sobbed, “Y-You don’t mean that…”

“Such a weakling. Maybe you should’ve stayed ḍ̶̊e̵̞̒ā̶̦d̶̟̏.”

Kingdom Come (Part Fourteen)

It’s been a while, hasn’t it? ;) If you’ve forgot what’s happened in this nightmare of a fic, here’s the link to catch up.

He’s choking. 

Henrik’s grip tightens around his throat, closing off his airway as he’s lifted in the air. His feet scrape against the stone floor, kicking out at the doctor’s knees and ankles, and red gloves curl around fingers and wrists, failing to pull him free. 

Cruel green eyes glint with glee as they stare into his own, and a chill runs down his back. Those eyes should never hold that dreadful green- should never hold that amount of malice- and he can’t breathe. He can’t escape. He’s dying, he’s dying, he’s dying-

“-ie, wake up!”

He snaps up to a sitting position, his back ramrod straight as he gasps for breath. His eyes dart wildly around him, aimlessly searching for a hidden shadow. 

He jumps as a hand clamps down on his shoulder and grabs their elbow and upper arm before he twists it and throws his attacker over him. They land with a grunt, and right when he’s about to launch his next punch-

“Jackie!” A familiar voice calls. “Jackie, it’s me! Marvin! I’m not trying to hurt you!” 

“Marvin?” He relaxes and stands up, offering to pull Marvin to his feet. The dewy grass crinkles under his feet, and he rubs his neck, looking around the forest clearing they found themselves in. “Where are we?”

“We’re safe. For now, at least.” Marvin grunts, kicking aside a stone. “If he’s not actively looking for us, we should be out of Anti’s reach.”

Jackie raises an eyebrow. “What do you mean, should be?” He asks, his tone curious yet a little suspicious. “And where are the others? Henrik is always fussing over me after a fight like that.”

Marvin ducks his head and his hand flexes, a nervous habit the hero could spot from a mile away. Jackie’s stomach drops, unease filtering through his heart. “They are here, right?” 

“No,” he mutters. “No they’re not.”

“Well then, are they-?” Jackie stops, his face paling as he steps back. “No. No, you didn’t- you couldn’t have-”

Marvin winces. He figured it out. “I had no other choice.”

“You had no other choice?” Jackie clenches his fists, red rising to his cheeks. “Of course you had a choice! You always have a choice!” He marches up to Marvin, pushing him back with one finger. “You left them there, in his hands! You left Henrik-!”

“Henrik’s dead, Jackie!” He explodes, knocking the air out of his brother’s lungs. “And I’m not the one to blame for that!” 

Silence falls.

Jackie’s frozen, unable to move as ice creeps through his veins. Is it true? Did he really-

He falls to his knees, a sob ripping from his throat. His eyes lock onto his hands, watching them tremble as he recalls Henrik’s face as he choked him. Had he been aware of what was happening while he was trapped inside his own head? Had he been fighting back against Anti’s control?

He’ll never know.

Marvin curses, kicking a stone out to the woods. This isn’t how he wanted Jackie to find out. He never should’ve said anything. He just- fuck, he just wanted Jackie to stop questioning him. He had to know Marvin was doing what was best for everyone, right?

It was better that Marvin got the two of them out rather than risk them all getting captured. At least now, while they were out of Anti’s hands, they could figure out a way to save Chase. 

Getting him out is all that matters. The others are a lost cause.

He sighs, running a hand through long, loose locks. He knows it’s hard, but he needs Jackie to get over it quickly. They weren’t going to help anyone if they sat around grieving the whole time. 

He sits down next to the hero and pulls him into a side-hug, rocking his sobbing brother back and forth. He hums a soft tune and waits for the tears to stop, wincing as Jackie starts to slump against him. “Look, I’m sorry, okay? It’s not right, and it’s not your fault it happened. Anti is a sick son of a bitch, and he could’ve chosen anyone to fight you, but he chose Henrik because he knew it would hurt you the most.” 

He pushes down Jackie’s hood and starts playing with his hair, brushing the damp strands away from his face. “I know you would’ve wanted me to save JJ, but I didn’t have time. My magic could barely hold you up as it was, let alone both of you, and you couldn’t-” He pauses and closes his eyes. “You couldn’t see what was done to him.”

“What did he do?” Jackie croaks, slinging an arm underneath Marvin’s shoulders.

“The red strings were physical- merely a representation of the ones that lie underneath.” He mutters, wincing at the image his magic provided. “There’s thousands of them, clinging under skin to bones, wrapped around flesh and muscle, and reaching into his brain, snaking through the folds of his memory and control.” A deep shudder wracks down his spine. “I’ve never seen anything like it.”

“There’s no way-” Jackie breaks out from Marvin’s grasp, bloodshot eyes trying to meet Marvin’s. “He’s only been gone for a week! How could Anti have done that to him?”

“That’s the thing.” Marvin’s voice is dead, his words leaving in a monotone drawl. “I don’t think this was a kidnapping.”

Marvin turns to face him, and Jackie’s stomach sinks as he meets his tired, despondent gaze.

“I think it was a puppet returning to his master’s control.”
