#kinda. that’s not her last name here

[possum-quesadilla]

Whoop. Oops. I got too excited to write the next chapter…

Chapter 5 of Lonely Remnants, “Now you remember where you came from, Now you remember where you’re going, You’ve got to keep it flowing” is here!

I promise I’ll work on the next chapter of Time’s Arrow after this besties.

PLEASE READ THE WARNINGS BEFORE PROCEEDING. THIS CHAPTER IS PARTICULARLY ROUGH.

Here are the extras!

- The lyrics for this chapter’s title are from “Spiral of Ants” by Lemon Demon! I’m sure the meaning is obvious, especially by the end of the chapter. :)

- “The lights were off within, and she could hear a faint, familiar humming resounding throughout.” - The Shoggoth doesn’t need to turn the lights on because it can see in the dark better than in the light.

- “It had changed into some sort of D.A.R.E. hoodie that used to be Lawrence’s, the left sleeve having yet to be tied off.” - I wonder why Lawrence has a D.A.R.E. hoodie?

- “She jolted in surprise when a tail swished anxiously behind the Shoggoth. It was long and thin, reaching down to his ankles, covered in black fur with a large tuft at the end.” - based on a medieval unicorn’s tail! Mostly for funsies with the design. And, y’know, thematic reasons. Like all the other features. ;)

- Car games - thank you to my mutuals in the discord server for the help picking them this time!! <33

- “ “What type of name would you like?” Barbara asked, glancing back at the demon. “Masculine? Feminine? Something ambiguous?” The demon blinked at her, furrowing his brows. “… huh?” ” - the Shoggoth has no concept of gender, hence why it uses it/its pronouns right now! (Eventually, it will shift to it/they.)

- “It seemed them pulling in past the sign that welcomed them to the town of ‘Hatchet Springs’ made something click in it’s mind.” - The name of the town is a mixture of two of my favorite fictional towns, both of which are thematically relevant! Hatchetfield from the Hatchetfield trilogy and Possum Springs from “Night in the Woods”.

- “ “… it looks so dorky.” The Shoggoth shrinked in on itself a bit, and the preteen held her hands up. “In a good way! I would totally not suspect you’re a demon. You fly under the radar.” ” - the Shoggoth really, really cares what Lydia things.

- “It kept insisting in a hissed whisper that someone was following them, but every time Lydia looked where the demon had indicated, there was nobody there.” - It wasn’t Juno! :)

- Collette - The last name has a specific thematic purpose beyond being a reference to Justin Collette!

- Thank you again to my homies for helping with the math on the poster!! Math is hard!!

- “Hair long and wild, unstyled and dyed with streaks of purple.” - Juno never taught him how to brush his hair or care for it, hence why it was wild here and when he first came to the haunted house. Emily and Charles taught him how to properly care for it!

- “Hhh- th-that explains the bits.” - The Shoggoth noticed a difference between the body and the way people referred to Lawrence, but just went along with it. It’s starting to understand what it all means here. (Imagine discovering transphobia for the first time…)

- “Lydia caught sight of dark green scales on his nose, glistening in the sunlight.” - Hmm! Weird. Perhaps thematic. (Definitely.)

- “Barbara and Adam exchanged a Look, and the Shoggoth let out a soft whimper.” - The Shoggoth understood the Look this time.

- “He ha-… has a heart condition.” - Adam was trying not to give away that Lawrence was dead, since it seemed like Juno didn’t know. Also, I will probably make a post about Lawrence’s first date with the Maitlands where he first brought up his heart condition!

- “Lydia strained to hear them, reaching up to adjust her hearing aid- ” - Hearing aids don’t actually work like that. You can’t just turn it up to hear better at a distance. Lydia was just a wee bit desperate and confused.

happy cascade day!!!!

My siblings are downed-- but not dead, not yet.

There is still mercy in you. You are not Death.

I challenge you, beauty.

Anyone can kill, princess. It's easy. What takes courage and strength-- is not killing.

Some exist to show us a better way. That's you.

There's so much beauty in you 'Roro. It'd be a shame to spoil it for the likes of her.

I hope Milton's just a weird kid. He's perfect and not involved in any occult stuff.

if you'd like something more challenging, maybe a wolf pearl with human tilly?

Day 259

Oh this one really tickled me. I was thinking that Tilly would be an old lady and like, really motherly, but I also wanted her to be a warrior and she has her fair share of battle wounds and stitches. She's also really big. She big lady. Like, Luisa size. She's also maybe like semi immortal? Her husband has died of old age and all her kids have grown up and moved out, so she's just chillin in her cottage.

Pearl, I decided to base her off of those more brownish wolves. She got either separated or abandoned by her pack when she was still an adolescent, and Tilly found her and took care of her. She's also cursed to cause misfortune to those around her. That doesn't deter Tilly tho. The red bandana that she wears used to be Tilly's :D

The silly goober, Rebekah, is here at last! Silly lil bean, with her family in another world :)

She's mostly introverted, but she's willing to join skid and pump on their wacky adventures.

Persona 5 protagonist is the trickster and got the name joker from morgana whos a creature from mementos kinda sorta right and in the manga joker is called akira WHAT? kurusu! Whats kurusu one letter off from? Kurosu! JUN KUROSU JOKER/TRICKSTER FROM P2 INNOCENT SIN!!

Dots are being connected guys cause remember how maya was like "tatsuya and jun are like doppelgängers" guess who else has an opposite thats right AKIRA PERSONA 5 with akechi yup! Shuake (?) perhaps. because WHAT? Tatsuya is the guy in that german story who doesnt realize that Jun is a reflection of himself and his own grief and hates him for it but akechi is acutely aware of him and akiras similarities and hates akira because akira isnt a reflection of a part of himself he doesnt want to acknowledge, akira is who he couldve been wow round of applause

Everybody, meet Tulip Cat-Hoek (or Tulip C. Hoek in most legal documents), Ren and Stimpy's adorable daughter. Cloned using both of their dna during a random science experiment.

She shares some behavioral traits with the two of them to an extent, though on the surface, you'd assume she got most of her personality traits from Stimpy. Not as quick to anger, but can go from feeling near emotionless to real moody in random times. And she's quite distractable and forgetful.

Oh, and btw, Stimpy was the one who named her. Ren heard Stimpy's suggested name and was like "Tulip?? The hell kind of a name is THAT?!". He eventually warmed up to it, but it took a while. He couldn't come up with any better names lol.

My gender complex goes back 3 generations and through two queer women and their family trauma, I feel like I know what I'm talking about. We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.

[euphoricfilter]

cry for help? probably. or advice even 🚶‍♀️because sometimes i hate having a funky lil brain

the girl in the room next to mine (who i think we’re friends? because we went to a cafe together on sunday??) knocked on the door, and i think it was probably her friend with her— and i’ve been in bed all day so like i’m half in my pjs, probably looking a little worse for wear, and she asked me if i was sleeping, and i said no. and when she asked me what i was doing my brain short circuited, idk why because literally i was just on tiktok so i told her that, and she said oh okay and that she’ll leave me to it. and idk if i was meant to ask if they wanted to come in even though i don’t know the other girl? or??? ARG i don’t know 😭 and now i can’t stop thinking about it even though they probably don’t care and like ???????? i give up, i feel like i did something wrong

and i’m like scared to message her and be like hey btw i have chronic anxiety and i feel bad about earlier, say hi to your friend for me 🕺 and like feel free to knock on the door whenever

[kyuala]

hmm

this is such an indulgent au I made for myself that's not even related to selfshipping but i love to imagine the dexholders in a filipino school setting where some of the kids are part of the class officers and this is definitely based on my irl experiences with my old class when I was elementary to... freshman. <3
