General Relationships
To celebrate my birthday today (February 5th), I thought I'd share some General Relationships with my favorite characters, I just put those that don't have a general relationship or bf
To be honest, I had forgotten that the Cheshire Cat has one, but as I only remembered it when I was finished, I decided that it would remain
Morningstar/Ithaqua
Tumblr media
• As a king, he is a bit busy and sometimes forgets to pay attention to you,
• For me, there are few things he doesn't know how to do,
• Another who is cute when he wants to be, but to the public he is an evil sadist,
• You are still the only person who has seen his gentle and loving side,
• A complete little love in private,
• He is very afraid of losing you, even if you say you won't leave him
Moonlight Gentleman/Joseph Desaulnier
Tumblr media
• He often acts like a dog,
• He loves to caress his ears and especially if you massage them, you can be sure that you will have a puppy with a wagging head,
• Exorcist to this day has not said his opinion due to the relationship you have with Moonlight,
• This dog man, just hearing his name makes his tail wag,
• He tries to hide the fact that his tail is wagging in your presence because he thinks it's embarrassing, even if you say it's cute,
• To be honest, I would like to have a Moonlight of my own because he's so cute, but I have to settle for his skin
Exorcist/Aesop Carl
Tumblr media
• I have some controversial opinions regarding him,
• He could go from calm to cold in seconds,
• Moonlight really likes your relationship for some reason he never said,
• As an Exorcist, he sometimes comes home very late,
• He's not much for physical contact, but he enjoys stroking your hair,
• You, him and Moonlight watch the sunset every day together
Phoenix/Aesop Carl
Tumblr media
• This man is cute and shy because of his fear of being hunted,
• Likes to watch the stars with you,
• In my opinion, he and the Cheshire Cat are the cutest, right after Victor Specter,
• He tries not to be so cute, but he just can't,
• He really likes sweets and his food,
• A great, gentle and kind companion who won't leave your side unless you ask
Cheshire Cat/Naib Subedar
Tumblr media
• He's cute, without a shadow of a doubt the cutest after Phoenix, or even before,
• Purrs while you stroke his hair,
• Even though he is half feline, he doesn't have much freshness to eat,
• Don't think you can pet his tail, he will still bite and scratch you if you do that, he doesn't like having his tail touched,
• He likes to sleep on your lap or on top of a tree like a cat,
• The only thing he doesn't like is you changing your tone of voice when calling him, after all he doesn't like feeling like a pet
Luca Balsa
Tumblr media
• To this day he wonders why you chose him,
• Already made a kitten robot for you,
• He doesn't really know how to be affectionate, but the important thing is that he tries,
• He's a bit annoying because of his low self-esteem,
• Alva never stops thanking you for taking care of Luca,
• He's a little jealous and doesn't like seeing you around Kevin
Edgar Valden
Tumblr media
• He is annoying, very annoying, doesn't like anything and complains about almost everything,
• The only thing he openly says he likes is painting with you, but only also,
• He's a real tsundere,
• When he wants to, he is kind and leaves his arrogance aside, but only if you two are alone,
• He likes having you sitting on his lap,
• You may have accidentally become his muse
Matthias Czenin
Tumblr media
• His attitude has always been a little shy and almost everything scares him, not that you can blame him,
• You two already tried to get rid of Louis, but it didn't end very well, unfortunately,
• He loves your company and feels calm in your presence,
• Louis seems to have a strange attachment to you, honestly, this scary doll,
• Please try to get rid of this doll, he is completely scary...
• Sometimes, just sometimes Louis lets you two have your privacy, but just as he disappears, he appears

Ok hear me out here- Imagine Neil knew that he was meant to be prefect court the whole time and genuine hating Kevin because why?Why did he get to have everything? Why did he get to have friends? Why did he get to play? Why did he get all the fame and glory? Sure he had to live in hell just to obtain it but didnt neil also have to live in hell? a difrent kind of hell but hell the same, but he didnt get freinds. He didnt get to play A family (be it a found one). He didnt get fame and glory. All he has is a dead mother that berly even loved him in the first place. Thats simply not fair.
Now! to relate this song to Brutus by the buttress and think about it!! (not the whole song just parts)
"I've been watching him for my entire life I hate the air he breathes, his foolish decrees His words so contrived And I hate the way the townspeople gather outside They hang on every breath, cling to his chest Home to his heart full of pride"
The oracle told him to beware the Ides And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't wishing For untimely death or demise (or just his hand being broken)
Or am I just wishing I could be like you? That the people would see me too as a poet (player) And not just the muse (?)
Oh, it's not true, I don't wish harm upon you From birth we've been like brothers of different mothers Within the spirit of the same womb
May the gods (Andrew) strike me down if I forsake you
I'll never forget that you showed me to make art And I know the love you showed me came From a pure and noble heart
I love you, and if you want, I'll call you King queen But why do I lie awake each night thinking "Instead of you, it should be me"?
Something wicked this way comes And as I set to face it, I'm unsure Should I embrace it, should I run? What motivates me? Hatred? Is it love?
What's more wrong; that I too wish to be great Or my mother wished she'd had a son? (the wish she had a son part doesn't make much sense but the vibe does if you get me lol)
And even if I can't be the one Maybe I could at least help make way for him Until the day that he comes Maybe my name could also be known That I helped return good to the people And restored greatness to Rome Brutus, Brutus, Brutus, Brutus! Brutus, Brutus, Brutus, Brutus! Brutus, Brutus, Brutus, Brutus! Brutus, Brutus, Brutus, Brutus! My name is Brutus and my name means heavy So with a heavy heart I'll guide this dagger into the heart of my enemy
My whole life, you were a teacher and friend to me Please know my actions are not motivated only by envy I, too, have a destiny This death will be art The people will speak of this day from near and afar This event will be history, and I'll be great too I don't want what you have, I want to be you
I always knew I could be the one Though I feel the endless pain of being And I am scorched by the Sun Of humble origins and born of the cursed sex My name is Brutus (Nathaniel) , but the people will call me Rex (Neil)

FEEL LIKE HOME — Dante Torres [October Prompts] 🧡
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A/N: The new season just started and I’m already happy seeing my man again. Also??? Kev getting a new love interest? Will it be permanent this time around?? Anyways it’s cozy (also spooky ofc) season so why wouldn’t I write for my man?
PROMPT IS FROM HERE & I’m using: MURDER HOUSE: we just moved into a new home and foolishly staked all of our savings into it. surprise! it's haunted beyond belief. how are we going to turn this house into a home? alternatively one of our muses inherited the house from some distant relative. they just didn't know they'd inherit the ghost living within it too. + GENERAL VIBES: if it’s dark, don’t shine your flashlight into the trees.
WARNINGS: some language, some fluff + spooks! Small talks of religion and practices but I’m not religious or go too deep on it if you’re the same & a somewhat lengthy read!
<- read my previous October anthology prompt here.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ ✩₊˚.⋆
HANK VOIGHT
Dante’s sergeant of CPD’s Intelligence Unit
“People don’t just disappear, you understand me?” Hank Voight exasperates to the producer behind the camera, “I don’t believe in ghost stories and there’s always a explanation for everything.”
The producer questions as the camera crew zooms in on the older man’s face, “If that’s the case…don’t you think you would have found them already?”
Voight tightens his stare and it’s as cold as frostbite from him, for at least a minute before he states, “Who says I won’t?”
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
You’re sitting on the set of stairs, knuckles tucked underneath your chin as your eyes zone out on the odd claw? markings on the wall in front of you. You’ve already envisioned placing an old wall clock that you’ve bought from a tag sale there but it definitely wouldn’t be long enough to hide the markings.
“Hey.” A gentle tone, you pick up on gets your head turning but it takes more effort to get your eyes to focus on Dante.
A small smile appears on your lips as you respond, “Hey.”
“Adam and Kevin are grabbing the last of the boxes,” he informs as he stands on the steps that lead right to the entryway and living room, “you okay? Kev thinks you’ve finally crashed out.”
You roll your eyes with a snort of laughter, “I’m fine. Just taking in how real this is…and why i didn’t see any boxes of your own in your car?”
Dante raises his brows, resting his elbow on the side banister, “I…didn’t think you were serious? Just assumed that was tipsy talk.”
Which was fair, you said a lot of things when you had drinks in you. It wasn’t something you did a lot since you were a lightweight but being in a social setting you sometimes engaged and definitely got emotional and touchy.
Pushing off the steps and moving to your right, you hold your hand out as you walk down the few steps that kept you two apart. Dante doesn’t hesitate to grab your hand, holding onto you until your face to face.
“I was—no—am dead serious,” you tell resting your hands on his hips while you stare into his green hues, “You’re the only person I want to make this feel like a home with.”
Dante reaches for your face, pads of his thumbs caressed your skin as his heart began to hammer in his chest, “yeah?”
“No bullshit,” you answer with a shake of your head and a grin, “Even talked it over with Mama Torres.”
There’s a hint of worry that passes over Dante’s eyes and you almost want to laugh in his face as he exhaled, “huh?”
“What?” You head tilts to the side, “You think you’re the only one that gets to be her bestie?”
It’s Dante’s turn to shake his head, “now that kind of makes me nervous.”
You laugh, “Would it make you feel better if we were beefing?”
“Hell no.” Is Dante’s immediate response, “…I do wish I was part of that conversation though.”
“It wasn’t me being sneaky, I promise! I mentioned bringing it up at dinner before as you know…yet a few of your cases took longer some days. So I ended up blurting it out since Mama Torres brought up a certain topic.”
Dante closed his eyes only imagining what his dear mother said to you, “oh no.”
“Relax courage.” You tease, “It’s a valid topic.”
“Which is?” He pressed, peering at you from underneath his eyelashes.
“Our future.”
He’s goes quiet, rubbing at the back of his neck now, feeling some pressure about that. Dante’s always been a go with the flow kind of guy and you’ve been together for about two years now. He would be a foolish man if he said he never thought about what a future with you would look like. You were both in your thirties and although you had a somewhat traditional way when it came to marriage, you weren’t asking for a ring yet…just another level to your relationship is all.
Continuing on you ask, “Yup…so you’ll think about it? Mama Torres gave her stamp of approval and already said for you not to worry about her but knowing you, you’ll need more reassurance from the source.”
Dante breathed out a smile, “Guilty. You know me so well.”
“I do.”
Dante hums, reaching out for you again. He lightly grips your chin, “Getting to share a whole house with you…is a big step. I wouldn’t mind that and it wouldn’t be much to think about, honestly.”
“Yeah?”
He presses a tender kiss to your lips, almost savoring the taste of you, like he commonly did. “Yeah,” he repeats, “No bullshit.”
You both laugh into each other’s faces before some clearing of throats are heard behind Dante. The buzzed haired man turns as if he’s just been caught red handed while you keep one hand rested behind his neck, finger tempted to trace one of his many tattoos.
“Now that you’re done eating each other’s faces,” Adam starts while Dante rolls his eyes, “We came to let the Missus know, our services are done for the day—
Kevin knocks his knuckles against Adam’s shoulders, “uh uh you’re not supposed to say for the day man, you gotta really sell it so she don’t ask for nothing else.”
“Oh yeah, you’re right, my bad.”
“You two ain’t shit, you know?” You joke, moving to get off the steps, “whatever happened to, ‘whoever Dante loves, we gotta love and consider them family too?’”
Adam frowns looking over at the brown skinned man, “I don’t recall ever saying that, your ass must have said that.”
Kevin pushes his lips out in thought and then admits, “I may have said that once.”
“Ah, so this is your fault?” Adam points with a laugh.
Kevin places his hand on his own chest, “there ain’t nothing wrong with spreadin’ the love, something Dante here isn’t afraid to do clearly.”
Dante scoffs, “alright, you two need to get off our backs.”
“You should really start a hugging and kissing business.” Adam instigates, “Seems like you really know what you’re doing.”
Dante smirks, although his cheeks are burning, “yeah, I think I could teach you a thing or two. You are the one that’s getting married and I’m sure you want to stay married, right?”
“Got ‘em!” Kev laughed into his balled up fist while Adam sends Dante a playful middle finger.
Adam scoffed while Dante held out his hand for them to embrace each other by the chest, “Kim don’t got any complaints, trust me.”
“Ew alright, we’ve both heard enough! Thank you.” Kevin cringes as he refers and glanced at you, “we just wanted to let you know you’re all clear, good luck with all those damn boxes you got over this place. Whatchu thinking about doing? Opening an outlet mall here instead of a home?” He pokes fun at you while you mock him talking with your hands, “Anyway! We got to get down to the station and I’ll be sending you my medical bills within the next two to three business days.”
Sucking your teeth at the man, you allowed him to embrace you, thanking him for his help while he’s the first to exit your house.
“No seriously? Why do you need so much shit?” Adam questions, holding you by the shoulders, “Maybe it’s time for a tag sale?”
You fire back at the brunette, “Are you going to help with that?”
The bearded man pretends to think about it, “how much profit we talking?”
He grins at you as you give him a blank expression before you hug him goodbye as well.
Letting out a sigh, you twirl around on one leg to face the living room. The couch and the sofa were all arranged the way you wanted them— after the first three arrangements. You had a tv stand that had barn doors that you really loved but started to think about what the tv would look like mounted on the wall and the floors? You wanted new floors as soon as possible, thankfully the man next door, who actually helped Dante a few days ago getting most of your items in while you had to work was a flooring and carpet installer. He gave Dante his business card so you figured you’d give him a call sometime this week if you didn’t run into him.
There were so many possibilities to this place. You never owned a home before and to have a distant relative that you met maybe once or twice at a family reunion years ago, really surprised you when you received a call that changed your life.
Hands tightly wrapped around you waist, caught you off guard before you felt familar lips kiss on your neck. “What’re you thinking about, pretty girl?”
Your hands go to rest along Dante’s, “that we have so much to do and I need to make a list like Kim suggested. She already helped me pick out paint swatches for a few of these rooms.”
“Course she did,” Dante comments with a laugh, his lips pressed against your temple, “you know we don’t have to have it all figured out today right? Things take time.”
“Well my great-great aunt Gladys didn’t have the time.”
“Wasn’t she almost one hundred and five?”
“That’s not—the point is time is an illusion.”
Dante frowns, “who said that again?”
“Albert Einstein.”
Dante nods, “okay my little theorist. I can sense that you’re about to stress yourself out and I think I can help with that?”
You whip around to face him, “you’ll start ripping up these floors for me?”
The buzzed haired man quickly shifts his attention to the floor, “that would be a negative on my part. I got a better idea and it starts with this.”
His hands rest low on your hips, fingertips touching your tailbone before he leans forward to kiss the corner of your lips and then over to your mouth.
“Oh…now I see where you’re going with this.” You laugh against his mouth, hands locking around the back of his neck before kissing him back. It’s truly magnetic, how you both knew how to set the pace and how it felt like your lips were made just for one another.
Dante hums as he pulls away to bury his face against your neck again. “I knew you would,” his soft voice is a bit huskier now that he set the mood, “Since I’m here and don’t have to be to the station until the evening…would you let me help you christen the place?”
You shudder feeling his tongue against your skin, hoping to it feel it much more anywhere else on your body as you say, “I thought you would never ask.”
He pulls back to grin at you, slight gap in between his front teeth gleam at you as he scoops you up bridal style, leading you upstairs to where only your bed and tons of boxes remained.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
ADAM RUZEK
Dante’s friend/co-worker at CPD’s Intelligence Unit
“Did you think there was ever any sense of regret from Dante taking on this big step?” The producer asks the man who’s seated with his elbow resting on the arm of the chair, fingers caressing his facial hair in thought.
Adam feels his brows trying to meet, “Regrets? No. He loves that girl. Worshipped the ground she walked on and she looked at him like he put the damn stars in the sky. Were there nerves on Dante’s part? Definitely since this is probably his second most serious relationship. He wanted to be there and loved that he had someone to get home to.”
“Is there a chance that it all got too much way too soon?”
“Meaning what?” Adam quizzed, “I hope you’re not implying what I think you’re implying.”
The set goes quiet before the producer expresses, “It’s just a thought and I would hope as law enforcement you all would consider the worst case scenarios…even if you don’t want to.”
Adam bites down on the inside of the back of his bottom lip, feeling the frustration in his veins, “As law enforcement, you should be lucky that any of us are even bothering to give you the time of day to discuss this on going investigation.”
They’re scrambling now, “We do appreciate you being here Officer Ruzek but is it truly ongoing if it’s been months? Shouldn’t you start considering that either they’re dead or Dante is behind—
“Okay, if you’re going to continue to disrespect everything I say, without knowing the first thing about Dante’s character, then I’m not going to do any more interviews. You can take these wires and shove em—
No signal is shown.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
Crossing your arms, you lightly twisted your body back and forth as you awaited for the inspector to get upright from the ground. Dante is squeezing your shoulders, running his hands down your arms trying to get the tension out.
It had been a month and a few weeks since he’s moved into the home and you couldn’t be more in bliss with Dante being here. Although you got to enjoy the house more so since you had a hybrid schedule, there was still a warmth inside whenever you got to see his face around the home. Majority of the time you tried to wait up for him but when you couldn’t, he always made sure to embrace you before eventually climbing into bed.
Him being here with you now as the fall foliage settled in, almost made you collapse backwards (into his arms instead of the leaves) once the man wrote down the estimate of the damage and held it up for you two to see.
“Three grand for that?” Dante inquired, keeping one arm around your waist and taking the yellow paper with his other hand.
The inspector with the backwards cap and who loudly chomped on his gum scoffs, “You two must be new home owners. This house shit? Is never no walk in the park. This is an older home and they should have used concrete for the foundation instead of this crap. Then you’re going to need an exterminator to get rid of the termites in the cracks and crannies…so yeah three grand and that’s just for my part not including the service fee.”
“I’m going to be sick.” You pull away from Dante, moving to head up the stairs and through one of the doors to enter the home, leaving Dante to deal with the smart ass inspector.
You’re seated at the dining table, cheek resting in the palm of your hand and a mason jar full of water.
“Hey,” Dante greets sitting across from you, “it’s going to be fine.”
You shake your head in incredulity, “digging into my savings and yours isn’t fine to me. We’re remodeling and trying to make this feel like home but every time we try to do something new, it’s mostly a problem and it’s making my stomach cramp like crazy.”
Dante reaches for your hand to hold, “You know it doesn’t take doing all of this work to make a home right? It’s the people inside of it who know how to love and fill it up with love that make it a home.”
A crooked smile appears on your mouth then, “You’re not making my stomach feel any better with the cheese you just served me, Torres.”
“Maybe you should finally try those probiotics Violet and Lizzie left here then.” Dante suggests, which actually wipes the smile from your face while a sob rips through your lips instead.
They were your paramedic friends that wanted to throw you a house warming party but you kept telling them that the house wasn’t ready.
Bewildered Dante gets to his feet, pulling your head against his torso, “that was a stupid joke, I’m sorry.”
“You have nothing to be sorry for! It’s not your fault this house is as old as my great-great aunt.” You bunched up his white t-shirt, which you shouldn’t have been able to do if he had his jacket zipped up!
The temperatures been dropping nearly every other day and this man thought it was cool to just be outside in a shirt and jeans but you weren’t having it, you threw a puffer jacket over his face earlier just as the doorbell rung signaling that the inspector was here.
Dante frowns, “I thought this was built in 1952?”
You wail, which only makes Dante’s concern increase and he knows in this moment he can only shut up and hold you, hoping that at some point you’ll be able to laugh about this.
And that laughter would turn into fear, which beat sorrow any day.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆
A week passed when Dante got a call one late night when he and Kevin stayed back to work on a case. He wouldn’t lie and say he and Kevin weren’t goofing off, for about ten minutes until that light hearted moment changed into something unexpected. It was after ten pm, twenty minutes until eleven when your face popped up on his phone.
“Hey baby, what’re you still doing up?” Dante asked, resting his elbows on his desk.
Kevin leaves to use the restroom, squeezing Dante’s shoulders on his way by as he calls out your name in greeting before carrying on.
“Dante…” there’s shuffling on your end and he figures you must have him on speaker phone, “you didn’t rearrange the recreation room did you?”
He shakes his head then remembers you can’t see him, “No…why?”
“I heard something when I was in the living room, coming from downstairs. I turned into you and investigated. Everything downstairs was rearranged: gym equipment and mini fridge.”
“…Are you pranking me?”
“No. Why would I do that?”
“Because you want me to stop working late hours to watch those scary movies with you…wait…that’s probably what this is. Your mind playing tricks on you and everything’s fine—
His phone pings and he has to look away to see that it’s a text from you. He sighs, putting his phone on speaker as well to check out the message you sent him. It was a photo of the lower level of the home and everything was in fact rearranged. There was a possibility that you could have done it, you had strength in you no doubt but a few of the more heavier equipment pieces were questionable.
“…I’d really like it if you stop telling me things are fine when it’s feeling like it won’t be.”
Dante pinched at the bridge of his nose, “okay…I hear you. Where are you now?”
“I locked myself in the room. I’m not going downstairs for anything else.”
He exhales, “okay good. Don’t. I’ll be home by eleven-fifteen.”
“Um Dante…there’s something else.”
“What is it?”
You’re staring at the living chair you pushed underneath the door knob, “it also sounds like there’s someone pacing the floor.”
Dante feels as if he stops breathing and his pausing didn’t ease the anxiety in you, “It’s an older home, you know the floors creak right? Even with the new hardwood floors. That’s probably just what that is. Stay inside until I get there though alright?”
“Yeah.”
“I love you.” Dante says in an attempt to lighten things up.
You swallow, keeping your eyes locked on the door as you sat up against the headboard of your shared bed, “I love you more.”
“Bullshit.” He teases.
A small smile graces your chapped lips, “No bullshit.”
“A little?”
“No but I love you right back.”
“That’s the answer I was looking for.”
“You’re annoying.”
“Sometimes. I’ll see you soon, don’t move.”
“Believe me, I won’t.” You say, eyes focused on the shadow that’s moving back and forth underneath the door frame.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
KIM BURGESS
Officer at CPD Intelligence Unit/Co-worker of Dante
“Did you ever witness what she was talking about when you visited the home?”
Kim sits up straight in the chair, “Did I ever see anything moving on its own? No. Did the house make weird noises? Yes. It’s an older home, something Dante also tried to justify. She never wanted Adam and I visiting when it got dark out. Especially with Makayla. I mean it’s Chicago so you can never be too sure but something else was going on with her. Whatever was going on in that house was draining her first and I hated that I couldn’t do more as a friend…for both of them.”
“What do you think happened to them?”
“I…don’t know but I know they wanted to reflect the home they found in each other in that house. It just didn’t work out that way.”
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
“Everything good with y’all?” Kevin said in a hushed tone as he sat on the couch with Dante.
Dante hums, looking away from what he was writing down on the paperwork. Kevin stopped by to collect some of the files to bring into the station and Dante forgot to fill out the last section so he was trying to finish it up so it would all be good to go. “What do you mean?”
“You know…since the whole seeing feet underneath the door thing happened, however long ago?” The taller man peeks towards the kitchen, spying Mama Torres setting the table and you were nowhere in sight.
Dante looks up from the paper and says, “she…prefers to work at the office now.”
“Damn.”
“It works for her,” Dante shrugs, “But she’s also hanging out more with those paramedics, Violet and Lyla—Lizzie. Who like to have fun.”
Kevin nods, “alright…what’s wrong with that? Anything that gets her mind off whatever’s going on is good isn’t it?”
Dante looks off towards the dining area where his mom just moved from, “Yeah, I’m not mad at that. It’s just that when I am here, she’s not around and I don’t like that it feels like there’s distance between us when there shouldn’t be.”
“Kay…so why don’t you plan something? A weekend getaway, you don’t gotta leave the city or anything if finances are trash right now. Stay at a nice hotel or Airbnb and get that quality time back if you’re feelin’ some type of way.” Kevin encourages while Dante scratches at his head.
Kevin’s aware that something’s been on Dante’s mind. It’s been obvious although he’s good at hiding it but they were a team and each member always knew when something was up. Even if it was something minor, it was there.
“You might be right,” Dante rubs at his mouth in thought, “it could be just what we need.”
“Yup,” Kevin smirks as he holds his hand out for Dante to give him dap, “and you can thank me later.”
“Whatever man,” Dante chuckles before grinning but that is short lived as the sound of yelling and breaking glass is heard.
Both men jump to their feet, rushing into the dinning room and turning to their right. Mama Torres is on her knees in front of you, as you’re holding onto the back of your head crying. The side window in the kitchen is broken, some glass decorating the dark hardwood floor, which invited the crisp autumn air into the toasty home, the garbage can was knocked over on its side, and there appeared to be a strand of hair by your thighs.
“What the hell?” Kevin mutters before Dante springs into action.
Dante crouches beside the two women, glancing between both of them and his own mother appears to be shook herself. One hand touches his mother’s shoulder, while the other touches your knee.
“What’s going on? What happened?” He cross-examined both women but your eyes are clenched as more tears flood down your cheeks.
He turns to his mother, “Ma! What happened?!”
Her same hues meet Dante’s as she whispers from quivered lips, now holding onto the rosary around her neck, “Malvado.”
Which makes him glance back at Kevin who’s highly confused before Dante yanks you into his arms, tucking you underneath his chin, trying to ease your shaking.
Eventually Dante manages to get you up and through the dining room to the bathroom across from it. He gently closes the door behind him, getting you to sit on the toilet while leaving Kevin to talk to his mom.
“Let’s get you cleaned up, okay baby?” He kisses your cheek, rubbing soothing circles along your opposite jaw, “I’ll take care of you.”
He raised his hands to dig through your hair, to examine your scalp but you latch onto his wrist. Fearing that he’s hurt you, he stops his movements to peer down at your watery eyes.
“This isn’t home anymore, Dante.” You swallow the lump in your throat, “It never was.”
Dante didn’t want to believe that.
He knew you were first reluctant to take on this home, since you didn’t know much about this aunt in the first place. It was a huge question mark trying to figure out why she would leave it in your hands but everyone of your family members either told you to not question it and be thankful or that there were other family members that deserved it more. They could have it at this point! You’ve lived in apartments, condos, townhomes, and two-family homes before so to have a single family home underneath your belt was inspiring.
It was not written in stone that you had to keep it for forever but it was something to invest in. Little did you know that it would come at the biggest price.
Losing your sanity.
However there was so much that Dante couldn’t explain and he wished he could.
Dante wished he could make it better for you…no one can say he never tried.

KEVIN ATWATER
co-worker at CPD’s intelligence unit/friend of Dante
“Can you tell us what you saw that Sunday you stopped by?”
Kevin deeply sighs, “I know that girl was hurt and everybody was freaked out. I know that Mama Torres told me what she saw since Dante and I were in the living room when it went down. Mama Torres said, y/n just came up from the lower level of the home where their gym and laundry room is at and was talking to her. Mama Torres was sideways facing the counter while y/n had her back to the side window.”
While he’s explaining, there’s pictures shown of the kitchen and a reenactment appears as Kevin gives details of the spooky occurrence that happened that day, “Mama Torres said it was something you would see out of those horror films. They were chatting and when she lifted her head to the right, the next thing she knows, y/n is being pulled back so hard that she was yanked off her feet. Her back hit the window but it wasn’t just her body that broke that window. It was some unseen force.”
PICTURES FROM DANTE’S PHONE ARE SHOWN NEXT: images of the broken window, specs of the glass are seen inside the kitchen and outside of the home in the backyard, along with the broken frame, the garbage can was turned on its side, a piece of y/n’s hair sat along the wall underneath the damaged window pointed outwards facing the kitchen, and a few drops of blood were also shown on the hardwood.
“A unseen force?” The producer asks, “How can that be? Are you sure Mrs. Torres wasnt also seeing things?”
Kevin lifts his shoulders, “see…we can keep saying that all we want but after a while that also stops making sense.”
ANOTHER SET OF PHOTOS UPLOADED FROM: Dante’s phone, shows photos of y/n after what took place in the kitchen that day. She’s seated on the toilet, the photo is shot from above showing the bald spot in her scalp along with the bleeding gash. The back of her neck and down towards her shoulder blade shows scrapes in her skin from the glass.
“Did Dante ever see anything?”
“Besides something hurting his girl? I’m sure he did but he never spoke on it. That’s something you’d probably have to ask his ma. All I know is that if they had to get away from that hell that was supposed to be their home? I wouldn’t blame them, not one bit. I just hope they’re alright and they’re far from North Ozanam Ave.”
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
After what happened that afternoon, there were no objections about leaving the house behind for a while. If that happened during the day time, then you can only imagine what could have been going on at night. Dante was more in disbelief that he ignored the signs and although he still didn’t see many the actions take place, it was enough to just see the aftermath. The last thing he stared at long and hard (his arms full of duffle bags) was the mark on the wall at the end of the stairs.
His childhood home didn’t necessarily feel any safer, thanks to all the trauma his step-father played a part in but having both of his women under one household gave him some sort of peace. Dante was raised catholic and once he managed to get you to get some rest, he’s in the kitchen talking to his ma who’s got so much incense and sage burning that he feels a tickle in his throat.
“Ma!” Dante flinches once she whacks him for putting out her incense, “it’s getting to me.”
“Good.” She sasses, “whatever that was, I don’t want it latching onto you too.”
“What?” Dante turns his eyes into slits.
“You heard me. It’s connected, preying on her and I don’t want it leeching anymore. We go to church tonight and father will fix this.” The older woman decides.
Dante blinks, not knowing the last time he’s been to church. He had his faith, it’s been on his skin to guide him yet a part of him wonders if it’s all too late. “You don’t need to be out there with us so late.”
“Do you think I’m staying here by myself? No!” She dusted off her hands with a clap so loud it sounded like thunder, “you should have came to me sooner, we could have got a hold of this malvado. It will be work I’m sure but the most high has us all.” She pats his face before stepping back to grab the kettle to pour him some tea.
Being prayed over was not something you were used to but accepted. Your energy was low even with the lavender chamomile tea Mama Torres gave to you. The sleep in Dante’s room had you tossing and turning, covered in sweats but before you knew it, his kind face was a gift to see over these past weeks and you couldn’t help but to hold him and never let go.
You stood outside from the church in the night, while Mama Torres chatted with the father inside and Dante went around the corner to grab the car as the rain started to pelt down over you. Up your hood went as the wind started to pick up, rustling the trees and bringing a chill over your body.
The sound of constant pinging from your phone was heard, from friends checking in on you but you were tired of talking. However you still found yourself pulling your phone out, eyes searching through the rain as you looked out towards the trees. It seemed as if the harder you stared, the more you saw a figure perched between the leaves. With a shaky hand, you mess around with your phone to turn your flashlight on, pointed right at the tree across the street.
And what you saw the longer you kept your flashlight across the street, made you want to scream but no sound came from your lips as the figure seemed to jump down from the tree and onto the ground. Quickly looking from left to right with the flash still on, it felt as if it was moving too fast in a blur of black.
When Dante’s coming around the corner, he sees a hooded you running towards the trees. He looks to his right, seeing his mother standing in the doorway underneath the umbrella that the father is holding, both appearing confused as Dante puts his car in park on the side of the street.
“What did you see?” He yells over the rain.
“It lives in the trees. That’s its home.” The father announces, which makes Dante pull his weapon from his waistband.
He’s not sure what that means but all he knows is that you’ve run off and now he’s running after you.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
CATALINA TORRES
Mother of Dante Torres
The salt and peppered haired woman is seen with her hands clasped, peering down into her lap.
“In your perspective, Mrs. Torres, What do you believe happened to your son and his girlfriend after the night they ran off into the trees? And why did you hold off on this information when officer Atwater knew they were staying at your house?”
The woman lets out a long exhale with her eyes closed before they open and are watery underneath the lights, “Zechariah 11:2. That’s a verse from the Bible. It reads: ‘Wail, O cypress, for the cedar has fallen, for the glorious trees are ruined! Wail, oaks of Bashan, for the thick forest has been felled! Which means no power on this earth can go against God. We are all made from him, each seed he has planted blossoms into a tree. We can all crumble at his command. In simplest terms, he has the last say and that’s what exactly happened. I have faith that he saved my children from the evil.”
“So that’s enough for you? That god has your son?”
“It should be, yes. As long as y/n is no longer hurting then neither is my son.”
“But why lie to those who are also close to Dante? They went back to that house, searched for any clues…when you and father Paul saw them go into the trees?”
She shrugs, “we do not know if they returned or not. Everything that goes up, down, or in between still has the chance to still lurk around this earth if they so wish. Which is what haunted y/n and that house. It gives me comfort, having that image of them at their happiest in that home, slow dancing not long after Dante settled in. That’s all I’ve ever wanted for my son and perhaps the cypress also gave him that.”
Those in the studio were still clueless about this entire episode they were filming for this documentary series but this was part of their job, to share the unexplainable stories.
“Has Dante ever mentioned any of his own personal experiences with that house? Outside of what was going on with y/n?”
Catalina looks almost offended, “Sure he did! The nights when he would be home there by himself, he always saw and heard it. He installed one of those doorbell camera things after the first weird thing she saw and called him about. Dante saw what I believed she saw in those trees that night she was prayed over on camera. He would not show me out of the sake of my heart but I believed him. He’s never given me any reason not to believe in or of him.”
A series of black and white video footage is shown next. It’s night time and the automatic lights flick on as a blur appears by and then on the steps. The tree leaves announce their strange happenings and it continues on with each footage that is shown but within each different date but similar time, the blur takes shape.
It has pointed skinny and many teeth that flashes the camera, almost as if it’s smiling as it shows itself right in front of the door. That image is put on pause, showing the viewers that whatever it is wasn’t human at all.
“My son’s always been a protector since he was young,” Catalina continues, “Always saw what was wrong or right pretty quickly and acted. That often led him into trouble but when he loves so immensely—which he does—he’ll do just about anything to make sure you’re safe.”
“Which is why he ran into the woods after her. Do you have any idea why she ran towards the woods instead of away? And again, why not mention any of this to the intelligence unit?” Another producer interrogates.
Catalina sniffs while pulling out some tissue, “They’re each other’s home and you don’t go knocking where you’re not welcomed. I understand that while many of you don’t and that’s okay. I did not tell the intelligence unit any of that because I know how it sounds. It’s easier just to make me out as a loony to make sense of my son’s whereabouts but the truth is: this is their story and they’re the only ones that know how it ends.”
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
“Don’t tell me you’re quitting on me!” Dante says, coming into the living room to see you balled up on the couch, ready to fall asleep, “The night is still young.”
You’ve been unpacking and arranging all day, so a nap was needed.
“Babe.” You stare at him blankly although you’re whining as he puts on some music and loudly too.
Dante mocks you, grabbing onto your hands to pull you from the couch but you hold your ground, which makes him raise his brows at you. “Baaaaabe,” he mocks as he pulls you up by the waist spinning you before setting you down on your feet, “just one dance and I’ll leave you alone.”
“Just like I leave you alone about having more color in your wardrobe?”
He rolls his eyes but can’t help but to laugh right afterwards, “exactly.”
You groan, pressing your chin against his chest as you stare at him with puppy dog eyes. All he does is press a kiss to your forehead, which brings a smile to your face.
“There’s that smile I love so much,” he whispers as you lean back to put your hand in his and rest the other against his bicep.
The dancing always starts off slow before picking up pace but the closeness of the slowness is Dante’s favorite part. He sways with you to the guitar, staring at you lovingly while Mama Torres leans in the archway of the dining room to watch in adoration.
His heartbeat is your favorite tune as you rest your tired head against his chest for a moment, staring out at the window behind the couch, “I hope those trees don’t get any bigger…might have to call someone to cut them down some especially when the bad weather kicks in.”
Dante follows your gaze but you can feel him shaking his head at you, “That mind of yours is always turning, huh? Just relax and look at all that we did already. That’s good enough for now, baby.”
“You’re right.” You sigh, pulling back as he twirls you underneath his arm, “Thanks for being here with me.”
Dante kisses your lips as soon as he brings you back into his chest, “No need to thank me. I love you and I want to be here.”
“I love you right back.” You wink just as the tempo of the music changes to upbeat.
You break out into some moves, chest bumping Dante who actually stumbles back in shock at what you were bringing out. You needed to dance any bad thought that tried to enter your mind and just live in the moment.
So you did as the both of you invited mama Torres onto the living room floor with you and the wide grin that spread over Dante’s face, let him know that his dance skills can never match up to you two but he tried anyway.
Across the street and through the trees, there’s glowing yellow eyes that awaken to watch the family of three in the brick house.
As soon as some headlights from a passing car shines towards the trees, a snarl can be heard from the creature in the night as they recoil into a blur back into the leaves.
HAVE YOU SEEN…?

“Where’d this come from?” you ask, perched on your girlfriend’s lap, lazily playing with the necklace in question. 
Hyunjoon smirks slightly, holding your waist. “ Remember that pretty boy at the fan sign earlier?” she mumbles, pressing a kiss against your jaw. “ The blonde one that I flustered and you made panic?”
You gasp as her kisses linger and progressively get wetter, “mhm, he was really cute.”
“cute enough to bring him back home one day?” she chuckles.
You let out a slight whine, dropping the necklace in favor of holding onto Hyunjoon’s shoulders as if it’d help you stay sane. She lets one of her hands slowly drift higher until it’s cupping one of your breasts.
“You’re distracting me.” You whine, still leaving into the touch.
“Yeah? I think you can still answer a question, baby.”
“He was really cute. I’d bring him back home with us.”
Hyunjoon lets her other hand drift from your waist to grab a handful of your ass and hums at your response, lips still leaving wet kisses any place she can reach.
“The ring is his.” She admits, “Took it right off his finger when I was playing with them.”
You let out a whine when her fingers barely brushed against the edge of your covered folds. 
“His hands looked pretty with those rings on, didn’t they?” She muses further, “Couldn’t help but take one as a memento. after all… we wanna see him again.”
“H-hyunnie-“ You practically moan, trying desperately to get her fingers right where you want them.
“Hmm?” She hums, pulling back just enough to look at you through hooded eyes.
You surge forward and capture her lips. Hyunjoon lets out a surprised noise but happily lets you guide her to lay down on your shared bed as you control the kiss. Her hands fall back to your waist now opting to let your hands do the wandering. The ring on the necklace lies just at the base of her neck, right in the dip of her collarbone. Hyunjoon has almost always kept her hair in a short bob cut. Her short hair still falls out around her head in the most beautifully messy way you’ve ever seen. 
“I think it would look so pretty dangling in my face.” You giggle.
“Yeah? Around my neck or around his?” Hyunjoon flirts back.
You kiss her harshly before responding, “Right now? Yours.” 
You let your hand wander up to the base of her neck, hooking a finger around the chain of the necklace before tugging it. A small gasp escapes your girlfriend’s lips at the action. Your perfectly manicured fingers pick up the ring on the chain, and you slip it onto your pointer finger. It’s too big on you, but that only serves to give you an idea of how big that fan’s fingers are, considering it was placed on his ring finger when Hyunjoon swiped it. 
You let out a yelp when Hyunjoon flips you both over and has you pinned beneath her. The necklace now dangles in your face perfectly as if it was meant to hang there.
“Seriously, though, baby,” Hyunjoon says, her voice laced with arousal. Would you like to seek him out and have a little fun?”
You nod so quickly that it makes her chuckle and drop a chaste kiss on your lips, “ I want that… eventually… right now, all I want is you.”
Reaching up, you pull her down into another heated kiss by the chain of the necklace. 
“You’re in for it tonight, pup.” Her voice was almost dangerously laced with lust. The nickname makes you shudder and nearly melt. 
“As long as we get to have some fun.”

idk if you've done it b4 but rank the aftg characters by how much you like them or find them interesting or whatever u want
done it few times but I'm always happy to talk about how much I love Riko 1. Riko I projected onto him had and md dissociate about him every day he's my pookie patootie and there is no logic or reason involwed in the way i interact with his character. He is alive in my heart and alive in my heart he will stay. ---- everyone else (I am delusional and mentally ill about riko) based on being my muse for art and writting 1. Riko Moriyama --- i will be honest the spots below this line do not matter much just depends what i draw or roleplay that week 2. Renee Walker (Beside every great man is great woman @leedee013) 3. Jean Moreau & Elodie- Inclusion of his sister in narrative even though extremally brief made me feel extremally deeply about him. 4. Jeremy Knox I think he leaves a lot of space for fucked up and I'm extremally attracted to design and headcannosn I made for him 5. Robin cross , adore her lore even without her attachement to other foxes as well as have a lot of ideas I can explore with her inclusion 6. Nathan Wesninski, hes hot, propably cannibal and provides so many angst opportunities but also? i like big beffy men and this is how i draw him. 7. ichirou moriyama , to be fair i do not like him at all but he is in my art and writtign frequently bc again a lot of creative stuff i can do here sorry for leaving kevin out of this he needs to be humbled a bit! I like foxes just fine but based on content i make and stories i explore i just did not developed as many headcannons and stuff for them
Tumblr media
to be fair kengo should be higher idk why it put him this low

Whumptober 2024: No. 24 - I never knew daylight could be so violent
Title: There is Beauty in Pain
Fandom: Professional Wrestling (Indies)
Characters: El Generico (Sami Zayn) & Kevin Steen (Steenerico)
Rating: Teen and Up Audiences
Word Count: 414
A/N: Welcome to another addition to Whumptober, Day 24. This one is short, but boi was it fun to write. Also, this story is technically from a time when Kevin Owens was Kevin Steen and Sami was El Generico, but for the purposes of the fic (and because they are not in the ring), Kevin calls Generico (Sami). We are breaking my own rule with kayfabe, but just bear with me here. I hope you enjoy. Cheers!
Summary: Kevin Steen muses about the beauty and pain of professional wrestling, written all over his partner's skin.
Cross posted on AO3 under user wrestlinginjeans.
Tumblr media
The motel room door opens with a distressed creak, the noise mingling with the shuffling steps of the two figures crowding the doorway. The two men, a long gangly arm slung over the other’s broad shoulders, move slowly as their sneakers connect with the worn carpeting of the room. The shorter man had his eyes focused on their destination, the bed that was situated in the middle of the room while the taller man hung his head. Kevin couldn’t tell if Sami was focusing on his feet to keep them cooperating as they continued to make slow progress or if he was currently swimming in and out of consciousness.
After an indeterminant amount of time the two find their way to the bed with Kevin having to hold more and more of Sami’s weight as they went. Kevin was sure at this point that Sami was close to passing out.
“We made it, Sami…” Kevin mumbles, shifting the other man’s weight off of his shoulders so that he could transfer him to the bed. An incoherent slurring of words was all Sami gave in response as Kevin helped him onto the bed. After Sami was laying down with his eyes closed and his face tight with pain, Kevin ran a hand through his hair as he peered down at his injured friend. He had caused the injuries that Sami was now dealing with, he had been the one that had caused the expression that Sami had on his face. A shudder rippled through Sami as a wave of pain washed through him. His muscles, tired and sore coupled with his skin broken in some places from Kevin’s fists, made for a familiar feeling. This was the life that they had chosen, a life that had led them to each other. But when the adrenaline wore off and their bodies began to protest against the latest bout of abuse it was always difficult.
Kevin would watch over Sami that night and in the morning, they would load up the car and head off to another no-name town to wrestle in another set of shows and life would go on. In the dawn, as the pale sunlight shone through the threadbare stained curtains, the light would illuminate the colorful bruises that had blossomed overnight on Sami’s face and bear arms. In the ring, violence reigned but Kevin had never stopped to consider the morning after.
He never knew that the daylight too could be so violent.

hola all 🥰 Amelia here again with a mixed fandom request, which I hope is okay to submit. I have a few pairings in different fandoms that I would very much like to fulfil on Discord.

I am looking for 21+ partners. I would like a decent paragraph in replies but it can be longer, I am just not looking for anything novella as that is just too time consuming for me right now. Below I will pop the fandoms and pairings, I will bold and ** the muse that I will be happy to write in the pairing.
FANDOM: Supernatural
PAIRING: **Meg Masters x Castiel
FANDOM: TERRIFIER
PAIRINGS: **Sienna Shaw x Art the Clown

Thank you for looking at this. Please like this post or shoot me a message in my DM's. Only interact if you are actually interested as I keep getting people showing interest when they don't actually want to write (not sure why! but that's Tumblr for you lol)

ben and i were on vc last night ironing out some wtse stuff and we got on the topic of what fear rules desert bluffs too and how that all shakes out. and i've talked before about how it's ruled by the flesh but benny finally asked the pressing question: what about the corruption?
and i'm so glad they brought it up because for a couple days i'd been thinking about how, if at all, the corruption fits into it.
in wtse the fears aren't divided and identified the same way they are in TMA,because the fear designations in that universe were just something smirke and his buddies came up with and not The Real Thing and night vale's universe provides different opportunities for the fears to present themselves in different ways. night vale is ruled by an amalgamation of the beholding and the spiral, for example. not the beholding and spiral jon knows, but close enough to be familiar
and while there are slaughter-y elements to desert bluffs, senseless violence isn't a core tenant. the violence is controlled and purposeful, even if it may not seem necessary to someone outside of the culture. it isn't really violence for violence sake, whether it's for food or decor or worship purposes, there is always an identifiable motive or rational for causing harm
and putting aside the fact they worship a big bug, the joyous congregation does have some of the corruption in it, namely the import it places on community and conformity. the corruption is, after all, an entity that works off the power of love, of belonging to a larger process, of being so entwined with it you let it literally eat you alive.
makes me think of a hive of grinning office workers, whose worth is only measured by their productivity.
but also, in it devours when darryl is showing nilanjana the Eleven Stages of Human Education, it seems like the primary figure killed its family to keep them close

the line "had a toothy smile—or possible snarl?" always reads to me in the same tone as when people comment about kevin "is that a smile," and given kevin founded the church and stephanie muses they use fox imagery because kevin likes foxes it makes more wonder about kevin's own beliefs about keeping his loved ones close
which then makes me wonder about what someone (i think it was bulk) said to me about kevin not being interested in carlos' work, only the results. more importantly, that kevin wanted carlos to keep finding results, he wanted to keep carlos busy, and he wanted to keep carlos busy to keep carlos in the DOW
one of the first faults carlos has to over come in WTNV is being a workaholic, it's the first complaint cecil has when they start dating. but when carlos goes to the DOW kevin pulls that fault right back out of him, encourages and enables him to keep working. and work is the excuse he gives cecil about why he can't leave. a toxic dynamic forms between kevin and carlos where kevin brings out the worst in carlos in order to keep him there
and thats what the joycon does: it encourages working yourself so hard you have no energy left for anything else and encourages you to keep yourself ignorant except for what the pastor spoon feeds you. and all of this is for the good of the community, the good of the collective
anyway, i'm at that point where i either need to stop or i'll start really getting on my soap box. the point is, dbt is flesh-corruption aligned

I'd love love love to hear more about your version of Kevin Nash from that one Heartbreak Hotel fic 🙏
shaking diesel in my teeth and dragging him under the cut
chapter one • additional notes • credit for the AU, lore and character development, original fics, and accompanying material in the series: @cyberslam
this guy. while my little pocket dimension within mango's heartbreak hotel AU is his main 'verse, almost every other time i write diesel, i'm just writing HHAU diese in yet another AU. you can actually thank slater for this one!! they love him so much and are so inspiring for me, and if i could i'd churn out fics based on our conversations and their OCs and headcanons like a machine. slater i am holding ur hand.
in terms of the patented* Diesel Writing Process, his muse is headstrong, stubbourn, and self-centered, and most of the work i do when writing involves convincing him to share the spotlight. my offshoot of mango's universe would be all flowery prose, cerebral horror, and... diesel, suffering largely alone on centre stage, if i couldn't coerce this big lug to cooperate. some aspects of that are still preserved, but i've been able to avoid writing all my chapters in this world as solitary experiences; silent hill one and two deeply impacted me as a tiny xentex, and i always want to write that slow, surreal, murky trudge through dreams and summoned memories laid atop the burnt-out husk of reality that the SH2 hotel section, especially, captures.
*patent pending
diesel loves being the star of his own show, but so does the heartbreak kid - shawn's a begrudgingly necessary fulcrum for diesel, once he decides he has to be. my diesel muse genuinely suffers from OCD, and projecting his compulsions onto other people is an unhealthy coping mechanism of his. shawn likes the attention and benefits enough to encourage and enable this in his own ways, until he's able to take over performing compulsive rituals for diesel, becoming a mandated aspect of the rituals themselves. i wrote an example of this in diesel's testosterone injection, and shawn's absence will leave an impact on diesel's compulsive thoughts and behaviours in the ongoing narrative. shawn likes when people are dependent on him (to his preferred degree, not for anything... substantial. he just likes feeling special.) sure, but the heartbreak kid and, inherently, the hotel, need that dependency.
diesel also collects matchbooks from hotels, motels, rest stops, tourism welcome areas, reservation smoke shops and other native-operated establishments, and casinos, which he started as vinnie vegas. dallas collects poker chips, and kim collects ashtrays, cigarette boxes, and dice. studd much more passively collects coasters and glass bottles (especially tiny ones) but competes with kim for dice. and scotty flamingo, the most notable member of the diamond mine (duh /j)... he likes to swipe cosmetics, towels, notepads - anything free! and sometimes even things that aren't free. he doesn't collect but outright hoards various forms of tickets, too, but that predates the stable. i was going to include a huge section on these habits, quirks, and compulsions, but... in the end, most of that was cut. it detracted from the atmosphere too much, and it started to spoil plans i have, which you can see the beginning hints of in that heartbreak hotel branded ashtray in my most recent chapter contribution.
diesel's muse solidified for me very quickly and easily, and i barely even need to keep notes on him. big wolf keeps track of himself and comes to me with whatever i need when i need it, or chases me down and demands i devolve into a crazed, sweating, dizzied madman, writing twelve thousand+ words in a single sitting with no breaks. always something with this guy. in a diesel/undertaker fic that will eventually see the light of day, i write in his beloved ford bronco. it has a wolf howling sticker on the trunk, an Idle No More bumper sticker, genuine leather upholstery, leather conditioner and a rolodex (with hundreds of names, numbers, and addresses of people who died of AIDS and their loved ones, roadside memorials for 2SLGBTQIA+ people and missing and murdered indigenous women, and various gay clubs, bars, bathhouses, safehouses, shops, farms, and other gay establishments - including many that are defunct even by diesel's modern time) in the glove box, endless atlases for different states and provinces he swaps out as needed (most of these go with him to his truck cabs as needed), and a dedicated, custom case for depeche mode CDs and cassettes. i hope that gives a better overview of the guy he is than i could ever provide in mere words alone /j

Past/Current/Next WIP Game
I got tagged! Thank you for the tag, @blind-the-winds!!!
Rules: past is a WIP you stopped working on/finished; current is a WIP you're currently working on; next is a WIP you want to write
Past: Uhm. Well. There's this list of completed works I've got? Doesn't count though, if a single one is needed... hmmm. Alright then, the latest is this one here: He'd seen lions less brave. Literally, the title was the hardest in that one, regardless of my muse not cooperating in the first place. I loved finishing it, in any case! The plot goes:
Shanks drags Buggy into the woods to drink in peace. Buggy allows it. He comes to regret that decision.
Current: I'm most active in the Batman or Batman/Danny Phantom crossover fandoms rn (reading, mostly), so my interests lie elsewhere than One Piece atm. Still, there's this that I keep most often working on at this point: Clowns be Clowning. Another gift fic of mine; it's been fighting me in places, but most of it is done by now. Only the last two (?) chapters to be doing and the editing's not entirely been through yet. Other than that, I'm quite satisfied with it, though. It's spent a year (or two) in stasis in one of my fic folders on the computer, so I'm happy to have it out now. The plot goes thusly:
Buggy and his crew arrive on an island in East Blue that they haven't visited in a while. They meet a young boy that's in all sorts of trouble, it seems like. They meet a butler. Shenanigans ensue. Aka Kevin Alone At Home but with One Piece characters. Kuro, watch out.
Future: There's always my longest fanfic to date cluttering up my thoughts these days: Through Troubled Waters. Most likely than not, I'll be writing another chapter for that one sometime soon. Its plot? I'm glad you asked:
Older!Buggy with tons of (mental) baggage travels back in time and meets both his younger!self and Shanks. Naturally, the two follow him like little ducklings. Shenanigans ensue. A bit angstier than the summary lets on, but with hope lining the horizon.
Tagging, no pressure: @stereden, @airuna, @mydetheturk and anyone else interested!

hi, you probably aren't even showing up here anymore but just wanted to say that I hope you don't give up on your fic We grow up apart, together and again! because I recently discovered it and it broke my heart to know that you haven't updated it in over 3 years. hope you come over there soon 😢❤
Oh anon, im always here, creepin'. Never fear. And 'given up' is a strong phrase for it, but whenever i sit down, reread or think about 'We grow-' i got 3/4ths of the way through the story, and then, as it does, life happened. Whenever i try to find that muse these days, its really faint, and i worry about writing more, and how much the voice will have changed.
But if you want, I can tell you more.
Cause, when they go to Ohio, Kevin was supposed to bring up telling their friends, like a doof, and Aaron was all like, "we haven't told anyone so far and basically everyone knows." Which may also just be because he did already tell Dan, and theres no knowing how many of their friends she told.
Ohio was to be a meeting and remembering and then an accepting of how being friends, who have become together, doesn't always change how you interact with others. (We Grow with Friendship) Its not a brand or a sign you have to display constantly, large and loud. Its a casual reworking of how a group of people sit in an area, where just because your a couple doesn't mean you have to be attached at the hip. Even if Nicky follows them around all week cooing when they even so much as pass a snack bowl.
After Ohio I was planning a bit of a time skip. (We Grow into New Shapes) Into Aaron's residency, because honestly, the with how busy Kevin is always, and how much busier Aaron would be while doing class and residency, I knew it was a place where I could see them doubting their relationship. And Kevin being Kevin I can imagine he would stew in it. He would want to talk about all the horrible things Aaron may see, and the hardest part of being a healthcare worker in any capacity would be losing a patient, but legally, you really can't talk about those moments. Which is hard, to comfort someone without really understanding why they need comfort.
The last chapter tho, was supposed to be for Kevin. Cause a large part of how or why they got together was around Thea. (We Grow Again) The plan was that Thea would finally hear that Kevin was with Aaron, cause her head was so far up her butt, she assumed he would just come back- which is mean, but the way i built her up in this story was also mean. So when she finds out he's actually moved on, is living with someone, and in a relationship with them and still seemingly thriving in his professional career, would probably make her want a confrontation.
(That was the other thing about this voice- muse- story, i am not a confrontational person and writing confrontational people like this, was hard for me. Finding this voice is hard, and now being so removed from it, i feel it would only let people down to continue it.)
But chapter 12 was to show Kevin standing up for himself, his relationship and trying to make someone he used to care about, a lot, understand that he's happy now. He's okay. They're okay. And that's okay. It doesn't have to be great- probably would never be great, but it was okay.
I started this story at a point when my life was going in a direction that I hadn't predicted, and i felt very powerless to control it, but i was able to find a way to make it okay- again, not great, barely even good, but okay.
A lot of it had to do with COVID, and being in college where things were turned up on their heads. I live in a state that was one of the first to shut down, and we got a lot of flack for it. I think it was the right call, but i was also in hospitals doing clinical work and seeing this new illness tear through the facility was scary. I had those moments later, after the bans and shelter orders were over though, where i stood outside hospital rooms and watches people die from an illness they didn't believe could affect them. I had to sit with my husband while he cried because his parents refused to listen to anything scientific, did not take precautions and ended up in very sever situations because of it. (his mother is an RN, i was livid, still am) (they are okay now, for the most part, three weeks in the hospital changed their tunes a bit tho) But my voice is better now, generally. i graduated from college, passed my registry exam, worked in that same facility for 4 month and then found a better position for me. My relationship is much better and while there have been other twists, I am a better me than i was.... in January of 2020. Man, that was three years ago, whhhhaaaat.
Sorry for the long post, but Ive been meaning to post something about this for a while. So thanks, Anon. But also sorry, if this isn't all you wanted, literally. But i don't think I have these voices in my any longer.

@quickdeaths asked: [ cherry ] what is one thing you love about yourself? + [ canary ] do you have pets? if yes, how many and what? + [ olive ] what gives you the most inspiration for your muse(s)? + [ mauve ] give one random headcanon about your muse / one of your muses.
Colourful Interview (Munday meme) - Accepting!
Tumblr media
[ cherry ] what is one thing you love about yourself?
These questions are never my favorite because it's awkward to brag about anything in my family unless it is professional/career success, but in contrast to a lot of my extended family, I'm very determined to succeed that way but on my own terms. A lot of my family rests on their laurels, so to speak, and feels they don't really have to work hard to be well-off and successful. But I've worked my way from the ground up at my job and while I'm not satisfied with where I'm at right now (and can do much better), I can still say I did it myself.
This is in contrast to extended family members being terribly puzzled why I simply can't 'summer in Tuscany' this year, or spend all of fall exploring wineries throughout France. No, I have a full-time job with health insurance, a 401k, and limited days off but I've earned them with my own hard work. And I'm proud of that (and used zero parental connections to get hired in the first place).
And in a slightly vain love: my fashion sense is on point and my friends know that if they want my opinion, I will not sugarcoat it for them. It's not easy to dress a plus-sized body with decent fabrics, cuts meant for my size, and not have it look like a fast fashion disaster or something a retiree might wear.
[ olive ] what gives you the most inspiration for your muse(s)?
Probably the best answer is what doesn't give me inspiration for my muses? Ha. And it's mostly things like fantasy literature/TV/movies (Game of Thrones would be the obvious example, but other things similar to that), video games, and most anime/manga interpretations of royalty. While they're fun to read, they don't really help cultivate the vibe I've always wanted to write for Sonia and her family, which has always been rooted in historical fiction, biographies, documentaries, contemporary fiction of royalty and upper classes in general, and news/current events. Not that there's anything wrong with the fantasy royal route: it's just not my thing.
But otherwise here's a few things:
Books: From classics written by Jane Austen, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Edith Wharton to more contemporary offerings from Dominick Dunne, Julian Fellowes, Tom Wolfe, and Kevin Kwan...I read. A lot. And beyond romance novels of all sorts, rich and/or royal problems are my particular literary interest. Ironically, the reading list that the character Corinna provides Kitty Pong Mrs. Bernard Tai in China Rich Girlfriend as part of her 'Appeal to old Hong Kong money crash course' is a good start. (Mild spoiler for book series that's been out for years, but still)
TV/Movies: Split between historical dramas (of comedic and less-comedic varieties), documentaries, and contemporary dramas most of the time. Considering how both quiet luxury and mocking the super rich are both trending right now (ahead of the likely recession), it's hard not to watch things like The Menu, The White Lotus, and Succession for some inspiration. Otherwise, everything from Downton Abbey, Bridgerton, The Gilded Age, and The Great to The Royals, Gossip Girl, Elite, and The Crown is up for fair game. I watch some Asian dramas too, but often more contemporary than historical for inspo. And plenty of royal documentaries (and I'll probably be watching King Charles III's coronation live, too).
Publications: Tatler (and I've mentioned it IC, too!), Town and Country, and Vanity Fair especially. But I look over gossip magazines as well for scandal inspiration.
Royal websites and social media: Yup. These too, for a variety of royals. Great for checking out social diaries, charity ideas, etc. For the fan questions Sonia and her family are asked? I follow royal confession and shitpost accounts for inspo. I had no idea there were so many people who diligently tracked when and where pieces of various crown jewel collections are worn, but they exist.
Real life: And finally, some of my ideas/plots/headcanons come from people and situations I know and/or experience personally.
[ mauve ] give one random headcanon about your muse / one of your muses.
Going to piggyback off the last question for this, but one of my headcanons for Sonia's younger cousin Sam (Prince Samuel of Novoselic. His father, Prince Arthur, is the King's younger brother. And a duke in his own right, alongside being a giant headache for a lot of people, Sam included) is that he learned how to fly a plane before he learned how to drive a car. This was an acceptable hobby growing up for him, as it would allow him to serve in the national air force for mandatory service required of all Novosonian royal men. But mostly, he wanted to learn because he could blissfully block out all of the family stress and squabbles thousands of kilometers in the air.
In the clouds, no one cares about the royal line of succession, net worth, who's who in the peerage, who went to which school and knows which person, who runs which charity, etc.
It's just him (and an instructor, and a bodyguard), the controls, and the sky.
This headcanon and the reasoning for it are based off of someone I know very well, and while they don't know I included this in one of my OCs for Sonia's family (hell, they don't even know I RP), I'm happy to honor them in this way.
Maybe after I eventually write the whole "Royal Residences" headcanon post I should work on a Sonia's family tree headcanon post
[ canary ] do you have pets? if yes, how many and what?
Ah yes, time to pay the pet tax!
Yes, I have one cat of my own. This is Molly, aka. Princess Molly, the true ruler of the house and my life.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She is a formerly feral buff tabby tuxedo girl, thus the notched ear. A rescue organization saved her from a cat colony when she was six months old, holding her own against a bunch of adult cats. I knew she was the cat for me at adoption day when she tucked herself into my arms and hissed at kittens and human children alike.
I like kittens, but I've got no interest in having human children of my own, so we really are kindred spirits.
Molly enjoys: sunny spots, windows, seafood feast, chicken feast (but only if the chunks are mushed up by me or my husband with a fork before presenting it to her. She doesn't like the pureed version: only the chunks but further pureed by hand), quiet, solitude, sitting on my belly while I read, watching the electric kettle come to a boil, my leather shoes and handbags (the higher the quality, the better to rub her face on), heated blankets, watching British dramas, grooming herself and her parents, sleep, ordering her mother and father around.
Molly dislikes: noise, anyone besides her mother and father entering the house, when her mother and/or father leave the house (they may not be coming back!), closing the bathroom door so she can't supervise shower and/or toilet time, stompy feet, salmon, turkey, coughing, sneezing, other cats, dogs, children of all sorts, people, cleaning her perch mats, when her catnip toys lose their flavor, and Amazon Alexa.

KISS for Viktor, please. I hope you've been doing well, friend/loved one.
Hi Kevin! I'm doing alright, thank you sweetums. I got 28 which is middle of the back. I haven't written much Silver x Viktor, even though I should, so thanks for this!
I've Got Your Back
T | One | Viktor | Read it on Ao3
Tws: Discussed bruise/injury
Viktor was fixing the main car’s ignition when Silver stumbled into the garage. The cat was slumped over as he went through the entrance on the side, letting out small whines as he dragged his feet across the concrete floor, keeping his head down.
Viktor tinkered for a while longer, finishing up before putting down his tool and brushing at his sweaty forehead. He watched as Silver went to sit down on the bench just off to the side, shivering at the act and struggling to do so without gritting his fangs.
Enough was enough.
“Vhat is wrong, Silver? You have been hunched over all day. It has me vorried,” Viktor said, turning to him and leaning on the car to indicate he was listening.
Silver sighed, struggling to become comfortable on the bench and eventually just leaning back in surrender. His face had become all scrunched up, rubbing at it.
“I think I hurt my back or something. It keeps aching and it hurtssss to walkkkk,” Silver whined, placing his head back and staring up at the ceiling.
Viktor wiped his hands off at that, mentally musing that Silver always looked like he did after hours of work with the black tips of his ears and tail. The flicking of both always made him smile. Silver’s hair always became mussed too after some point and, when they didn’t, Viktor was always willing to do the deed himself.
As if reading his thoughts, Silver tilted his head toward Viktor with a smile.
“Anyways, is it okay if I stay here with you for a little while? I felt crazy just sitting in my room…alone.”
Viktor nodded, ears going down at the solemn look in his companion's eyes. Silver never could sit in one place for too long. He was an overly energetic, sometimes violent maverick, which was the best thing about him. Or, so Viktor thought.
“Yes, but let me take look at your back. Ve vouldn’t vant it getting vorse,” Viktor said and Silver hesitated.
However, after a moment of looking Viktor up and down, and seeing how concerned his expression had become, Silver turned around. He lifted up the bottom of his shirt, Viktor kneeling down to take a look. He reached over, then paused. He peered up at Silver’s expression, who was biting his lip nervously.
“Can I?” he asked, waiting for Silver’s hum before daring to touch him.
After brushing back his fur here and there, having to look past his rather distracting stripes, Viktor eventually found the problem. A large bruise had made itself known on the middle of Silver’s back, stretching quite far both ways, which explained the pain. Viktor frowned, wincing at the sight.
“You are bruised. You should ice it down,” Viktor said, though he continued to stare at it, wishing there was more he could do.
He lingered and, after a moment of consideration, he pressed his face forward. He made sure to control his strength, pressing the gentlest of kisses he could muster to the wounded area. Even if it was only the thought that would count, he hoped it would soothe Silver some and make recovering that much easier. He could not imagine how annoying it would be until it was healed, making a mental note to remind Silver to ice it and rest until it was.
He flinched back when Silver let out a yelp, dropping his shirt in shock and turning to Viktor with wide eyes. Viktor took another step back, holding up his paws. 
“Am sorry. Did I go too far?” Viktor asked, feeling his cheeks heating up.
Silver felt the same, apparently, tail swaying at a record speed behind him as he just stared. He broke eye contact, however, when it sunk in, pulling his paw up to his face to hide his expression.
“N-no,” Silver said at first, eyes slowly peering back, “Thank you, Viktor. I feel a lot better already.”
Viktor smiled at that, putting his hands on his hips and nodding at Silver.
“Glad I could help.”
Silver’s eyes sparkled at that, and Viktor could tell he was feeling better already.
Ask Game
