Just tried the incorrect quote generator for the first time and OMFGIDGDUTXTJ-

[twooneactual]

[eddie-brii]

So I know I haven't written from HoA in a while but I'm slowly getting back into it as I'm getting out of my depression. Figured I'd start up with a snip it of how I think one of the ways Clarice might survive. It's not proof read. Enjoy!

Rachael was panting as she ran the generator the lights were hooked to in the temple. They needed eyes on these things, and she needed to keep them on, damnit! As soon as she got there, she pulled the starter cord to try to keep the generator going. It seemed like it might be working until the third and final pull when the cord snapped.

"You've got to be fucking kidding?!" She nearly shouted before her leg jutted out and slammed in the old piece of junk keeping them alive. The sputtering stopped suddenly as the lights quit flickering. She sighed in relief briefly before she looked over to Clarice, the other woman struggling to keep going as whatever the creatures had done to her ravaged her body. Rachael ran into the tent set up next to the generator, frantically searching as she nearly threw things around until she finally found the pack she was looking for.

"Rachel! What the hell are you doing?! We need to get out of here!" She heard Eric calling her as she quickly slung the pack on to her back. She could hear the shouting of the surviving Marines, Merwin and Kolchek being the loudest as they threw insults at the creatures through the temple doors. She emerged from the tent with the pack before going to the computer hooked up to the cameras.

"I'm keeping a fucking promise, Eric!" She yelled as she flipped through cameras, trying to find them a way out. Before he could respond, the sound of an explosion rang through the temple as she saw a camera go down.

"Is this place mined?!" She called as she looked around the temple, weary that blast might bring down the heavy stone on top of them.

"Not mined enough!" Kolchek called back as him and the other three Marines held the door. Eric and Clarice moving down towards her as she flipped through cameras before settling on the one leading to the catacombs.

"There! The catacombs! That's our way out!" She said as she stood, readying her pistol and getting ready to help Clarice move out.

"That ain't a fucking way out!" Kolchek countered as he nearly got thrown from the door, he moved back before shouldering his rifle and shooting through the doors. "This is our house, our rules!" He shouted as he continued to fire.

"It's the only way we've got right now!" She shouted back, she heard Jason curse as he motioned for Joey and Merwin to move towards the passage with the rest. Finally he and Nick moved to retreat while the doors still held up for the moment. They covered the way as the group began to climb over the debris in the doorway, firing the creatures as doors to the temple finally gave way.

The rest felt like a blur to Rachel. Even when she ran for the machine gun and helped Kolchek hold them off, she relied on muscle memory while her brain screamed at her. It wasn't until the blasts from the tunnel above them had settled when she felt like she could breathe for the moment, her shoulders sagging. She felt the weight of the pack shift on her back as she did, remembering the conversation she had with Clarice before they crossed the cavern. She swung the bag from her shoulder as she quickly moved to Clarice, ignoring the looks the others were giving as she began to pull out pill bottles.

"Clarice, here start taking these." She said she started to grab anything that looked like it might help the other woman. She'd have to wait to do any injections until they had light.

Bonus: Live Jason Reaction

[jeka-s-mile]

At the school AU

PE teacher Nathan Merwin is never asked to fill in for the biology teacher because he once started explaining reproduction to the kids using the example of “me and your mom”

[giveamadeuschohisownmovie]

Imagine: “House of Ashes”, but as a full-length game along the lines of “The Quarry” and “Until Dawn”

1) THE PLAYABLE CAST

a. Kurum and Balathu are still the prologue/false protagonists

b. The 5 leads return (Eric King, Jason Kolchek, Rachel King, Nick Kay, Salim Othman)

c. 3 additional playable characters: Nathan Merwin, Clarice Stokes, Dar Basri

NOTE: Just like all Supermassive games, everyone has a chance to live or die, depending on choices made by the player(s)

2) THE 10 CHAPTERS

0: Prologue (Ancient Sumeria)

1-2: Introduction to the main cast and the encounter between the U.S. Marines and the Iraqi Republican Guard.

3: Falling into the temple

4-5: The main characters start exploring the temple and realize just how bad their situation is

6-7: The survivors are forced to work together when they’re chased away by the Vampires. Chapter 7 ends with the “survive the assault” sequence.

8. The survivors make their way down to the lowest level, where the Vampire/Alien nest is

9-10: Showdown with the Vampire Aliens (escaping the temple and the eclipse)

3) SURVIVABILITY/PLAYABILITY OF EACH PROTAGONIST

a. Kurum and Balathu will die regardless of the choices made. How they die, the other in which they die, and who returns as the Ancient One depends on the choices made by the player(s).

b. Clarice and Merwin have the least amount of playability and the most chances to die. Pretty much once the cast falls into the temple, Clarice and Merwin can die in every chapter they appear in. Also, they have the least amount of playability since they’re the most expendable of the cast. Think of Clarice and Merwin as the equivalent of Matt and Jessica in “Until Dawn”.

c. Eric and Nick’s survivability is tied together. In this new version, the player(s) can choose between Eric and Nick when it comes to saving Rachel with the rope. If both Eric and Nick survive, the story will continue as normal. If either Eric or Nick die, then the other is guaranteed plot armor until the final chapter. This is because Eric or Nick is needed to plant the bombs in the alien nest.

d. The earliest that Rachel and Jason can be killed off is Chapter 7 (the Gatling gun sequence). In this new version, either Rachel and Jason can be killed off during this chapter. If either Rachel or Jason die, then the other is guaranteed plot armor until the final chapter. This is because Rachel or Jason is needed to go on a life-changing journey with one of the Iraqi main protagonists.

e. The earliest that Salim and Dar can be killed off is Chapter 7 (survive the assault). But if either Salim or Dar die in Chapter 7, then the other is guaranteed to move on to chapters 8-10 due to the storyline. See above for Rachel and Jason’s survivability.

4) HOW THE FINAL 3 CHAPTERS CAN TURN OUT

If the player(s) have been making choices that led to the least amount of survivors going into the final 3 chapters, then only THREE main characters will be left:

1) Rachel or Jason. At least one of them needs to be alive to fulfill the role of the “ignorant American who is forced to partner up with the Iraqi soldier”.

2) Eric or Nick. At least one of them needs to be alive to fulfill the role of the one who plants the bombs in the hive.

3) Salim or Dar. At least one of them needs to be alive to fulfill the role of the “Iraqi soldier who has no choice but to rely on the ignorant American”.

So you can end up with the original game’s group (Jason allies with Salim, Nick plants the bombs) or something completely different (Rachel allies with Dar, Eric plants the bombs).

Side note: The American/Iraqi dynamic depends on who was teamed up with who.

* Jason and Salim relate to each other as soldiers who don’t really believe in their cause.

* Jason and Dar realize they’ve both been acting ignorant and that their hatred is blinding them to the real danger.

* Rachel and Salim relate to each other as broken people dealing with marital problems.

* Rachel and Dar relate to each other as leaders who just want to keep their people safe.

5) FANCAST (since Until Dawn and The Quarry feature prominent actors)

Ashley Tisdale as Rachel King

Nick Tarabay as Salim Othman

Charlie Cox as Eric King

Michael B. Jordan as Nick Kay

Ben Barnes as Jason Kolchek

Lewis Tan as Nathan Merwin

Katie McGrath as Clarice Stokes

Amr Waked as Dar Basri

6) MISCELLANEOUS

* The game’s equivalent to the Psychiatist and Eliza Vorez is the CIA Agent. The CIA agent is interrogating the player due to the fact that the CIA is trying to cover up the existence of aliens. Just for fun, let’s say the CIA Agent is played by Sigourney Weaver.

* Just like in the original game, if Jason is teamed up with Salim/Dar, then Rachel is infected. The same is in reverse (Rachel teams up with Salim/Dar, Jason is infected).

* Possible achievement: A Good Night for Iraq (only Salim and Dar survive)

* Possible achievement: Ladies Night (only Rachel and Clarice survive)

Head empty, just him 😭

[hauntedcheesecakewizard]

I've been thinking up a "The Quarry" AU for house of ashes where the characters of House of Ashes got to work at Hackett's Quarry to give the kids an insight into military training. The characters will have the same personalities (aka, nobody deliberately brakes the car, teen drama is toned down, they all have more skill with weaponry, etc)

Ryan = Jason Kolcheck.

Dylan = Salim Othman (obviously).

Kaitlyn = Clarice Stokes.

Jacob = Eric King

Emma = Rachel King.

Nicolas = Nick Kay (again, for obvious reasons).

Abigail = Joey Gomez (not to ship with anyone, but who knows, I sure as hell don't).

Laura = Nathan Merwin.

These are just rough guidelines for their encounters with the werewolves. Jason, with his killing curiosity to touch things he shouldn't (the fossilised alien) he'd be more likely to investigate Chris' room than Salim, but the bisexual jokes about him, Salim, and Clarice are too good to pass up on.

I'm thinking that this takes place in the same universe as house of ashes just to be like "WEREWOLVES??? THE FUCK??? FIRST VAMPIRES, NOW WEREWOLVES. WHATS NEXT, ZOMBIES???"

"Jason, if you jinx this, I swear to Allah above I will end you."

Feel free to chip in about ideas for this AU or questions.

Dating House of Ashes characters

what would it be like to date House of Ashes characters? Here are some headcanons, for both monogamous and polyamorous relationships, hope you like them!

— JASON KOLCHEK: to say he is jealous is an understatement. As soon as he sees someone hitting on you, he pulls you closer and kisses you passionately. He loves to leave you quick little kisses on the forehead. He likes to go out to the park or to his favorite clubs. You often go out with his friends, especially Salim. When you stay at home, you watch action movies while eating popcorn. Every now and then you try to get him to read books together, failing. When you go to sleep, he is always the big spoon and, until he falls asleep, he gently caresses your arm. If you're in a gay relationship, he won't be entirely comfortable at first (yes, I love the headcanon about internalized homophobia in Jason). He will deny his love for you, but he will be reassured by you. Over time, he will accept it more and more

—SALIM OTHMAN: having already been in a long and important relationship, he knows how to flirt, even if he's feeling a little rusty. He always writes you long letters which he leaves on your bedside table, along with breakfast if he has to leave early. Sometimes, he even brings you flowers. Your dates take place in museums, where you explain the works of art to each other. Love to hug and cuddle you, fill your face with kisses. On the street he always holds your hand, as if he's afraid you'll leave. After all, he was left with the scar of leaving his ex-wife, but you fixed it. When you met Zain, he did nothing but analyze you. He wanted to make sure you were a good fit for his father and that you didn't hurt him. After her "search" came back positive, you immediately made friends. You often go out together or play pranks on Salim

—ERIC KING: being cheated on by his wife was worse than facing vampires. It took a long time to recover, and even while you were dating, he couldn't fully trust you. At first he was arrogant and conceited, but it was a wall that he had built to "protect himself". Breaking down that wall was complex, but behind it you found a sweet and cuddly man. At first, in public, he won't hug and kiss you a lot. Later, he will become more affectionate, filling your cheeks with kisses. He is quite obsessed with his appearance and how he should appear to others. As a result, your dates are often to fine dining restaurants and you will both be dressed up. He will often ask you if you love him, and hearing you tell him will be very reassuring. He loves to hug you in bed and fall asleep while you are in each other's arms. Over time, he recovered from his divorce with Rachel. In fact, you two hang out with Nick and Rachel from time to time

—RACHEL KING: dealing with her is complicated. At first she will appear distant, not very present. This is all due to her old relationships with Eric and Nick. She doesn't say it, but she is convinced inside that she is the problem. Gradually, she will open up more, showing her loving and passionate side. She is often busy with work, both abroad and not, but as soon as she can she calls you and chats with you. In her office, she keeps a picture of you. When you see each other, you start talking about her missions (she complains about Nick and Eric) and what you've been doing in the meantime. She brings you gifts from abroad, especially jewelry. You wear them during your dates. You like going to quiet places where you can spend time just the two of you alone. For example, go to the park with a packed lunch or go for a run at dawn. She says she's not jealous, but she makes those who flirt with you pay dearly. From an affectionate point of view, she likes to put her arm around your hips and kiss your forehead

—NICK KAY: after breaking up with Rachel, he had a lot of self-esteem issues. Thankfully, you have helped him regain confidence in himself and in others. Slowly he started to open up. At first, he didn't talk about his relationship with Rachel, but after a while he told you. He would occasionally make comparisons between you and her, but eventually he stopped, thinking they were annoying you. During the dates, he took you places he hadn't taken Rachel, making them special just for the two of you. He likes to be alone with you, without too many people around. As a result, he prefers to stay at home, watching some documentary (after the events with the vampires, he began to read up on ancient history). He also often invites his best friend Jason over. Initially, he didn't trust you. Not because you were a bad person, but because he only wanted the best for Nick. In the end, you two get along perfectly. He loves to caress you, especially your arms and hair, and whisper how much he loves you

—CLARICE STOKES: at first she will show herself as a presumptuous girl, but getting to know her better you will see her softer side. Every time you try to organize "science" themed outings, such as museums or theme parks. She likes to explain to you how machines or formulas work. She likes to attend concerts and hang out at her favorite clubs, of course doing all of this with you. She doesn't really like physical contact, so she shows her affection with tender words and small gifts

—NATHAN MERWIN: silly jokes are the order of the day, as well as having to put up with his big ego. Despite that, he loves you more than he loves himself (so he really loves you). You spend your time working out at the gym while he flexes his muscles to impress you. Sometimes you even stay at home, watching some action movie while eating some food prepared by Merwin. Unexpectedly, he is a very good cook. In public, he comes across as the "macho" of the relationship, but in private, he loves to cuddle with you. Sometimes you fight because he seems to be flirting with other people, but he will try to make it up to you by buying you something you like

—JOEY GOMEZ: right from the first date, he will do nothing but talk to you about his favorite movies. In fact, your outings will mostly be at home, hugging each other under a blanket, watching movies and TV series. He prefers to stay at home, playing video games with you, but occasionally likes to throw surprise dinners at your favorite places. He loves physical touch a lot. In fact, he likes to hug you from behind, resting his head on your shoulder. Often you organize outings with Merwin, his closest friend (maybe you're the third wheel)

—JASON + SALIM: it seems to be between two opposites. On one side there is Jason, impulsive and lively. On the other there is Salim, thoughtful and moderate. Your outputs vary all the time. Sometimes you go shooting at a shooting range or drinking at a club, other times you go to a picnic in the park or visit a museum. You are the middle spoon or the little spoon. Jason will never admit it, but he likes being the little spoon once in a while. Salim, on the other hand, likes all kinds. However, he often prefers to be the big spoon, so he can embrace both of you. When you stay at home, you cook together new recipes taught by Salim. You and Jason often make messes, but Salim is patient and ready to clean up. At first, it felt weird for Zain to have "three parents" (what? Four parents? Does he have another mother? I don't see any other mother :) ), but eventually he warmed to both you and Jason. After he leaves for university in London, he often video calls the three of you. Jason and Salim are very protective of you, almost like they are your parents. Jason is also a jealous guy. As soon as he sees someone hitting on you two, he doesn't hesitate to put his arms around your sides, bring you closer and kiss you

—ERIC + NICK: sometimes you don't know if they hate each other or really love each other. Every now and then Eric and Nick fight and you have to act as intermediary or "messenger" between them. When they make up, they continually apologize for bothering you. Sometimes you go to the gym together and compete to see who is "coolest". After working out, go somewhere to relax. Eric occasionally takes you out to dinner at some fancy restaurant, arguing with Nick over the fact that he doesn't want to dress elegantly. When you stay home, Eric prepares delicious snacks for all three of you and you watch some TV series together. There are some ups and downs, like when Nick brings up the affair with Rachel while arguing with Eric, or when Eric gets arrogant around you and Nick. In the end, however, you always manage to talk calmly and resolve any quarrel. Eric and Nick often say "I love you", but between them the "I love you" is very different. We could consider them "love insults". As mentioned before, sometimes you don't understand if they love or hate each other, but in the end you give yourself an answer. Seeing how Eric and Nick support each other and support you makes you believe that they are truly in love

—RACHEL + ERIC: they took a long time to tell you about Nick and Rachel's history, but by then they were both comfortable with you. While there was a little bit of jealousy within your relationship at first, you all found yourself at ease in the end. Rachel is often away on business. When she comes back, you and Eric always throw her a surprise "welcome back." Although they look similar, they have their differences, especially in the love arena. On one side you have Rachel, more passionate and impulsive. On the other you have Eric, more romantic and quiet. They often tell you about how they met, the academy, their marriage, Iraq, the vampires. They have a bit nostalgic tone about those memories, but they are happy to be able to create new ones with you. Sometimes they look like your parents, protecting you against everyone and telling you how to behave

—NICK + RACHEL + ERIC: you feel like you are inside a book. What used to be a love triangle is now a great relationship. You are all different from each other, but in a way you complement each other. It's never quiet at home, but that's not a bad thing. You always have something new to do: Nick preparing something good, Rachel teaching new physical exercises, Eric reading a good book while you all embrace in bed. Even when you go outside there are different activities that you do. Rachel and Nick like to work out, so they will drag you and Eric to work out. Eric on the other hand will take you to nice restaurants, insisting on buying him dinner. Sometimes you also have nice picnics in a park or on a beach. If it's hot, you can even take a nice bath (lucky you, surrounded by two handsome men and a beautiful woman). There is no actual "big spoon" or "little spoon" in bed. Every night you change both order and position, especially Nick. Every time you, Eric and Rachel wonder how he sleeps in those weird positions

—CLARICE + RACHEL: they are both erupting volcanoes. With them you are never bored. Both always have great outings, like going to an interactive science museum or tree climbing. Even at home there is always dynamism: jump on the bed singing at the top of your voice, play with fake guns, experiment almost setting the house on fire. You look like three children. They are not very cuddly girls, but nevertheless they love to kiss you on the cheeks or on the forehead. You often travel together, especially to accompany Rachel on her missions. She always refuses, but in the end you convince her

—————————

for the polyamorous relationships, I put the most popular ships, but if you want some more, you can ask me! <3

I think I’ll do also Until Dawn, The Quarry and The Devil in Me. For Man of Medan and Little Hope, I don’t have many ideas. I would like to do The Inpatient, but only to do Gordon😅 (I won’t do it also because not a lot of people know this game)

[eddie-brii]

So funny headcanon and a little drabble I have related to Jalim, some canon divergence here.

During quarantine together Jason asked Salim to teach him Arabic, in an attempt to awkwardly flirt as well as try to strengthen their relationship. At first the lessons were simple, both of them working on it in private until Jason had gotten a little better, his Montana twang making it difficult.

It was all going well until they had started working on it after a meal one evening, the other survivors around, low and behold they managed to catch some unwanted attention.

"So got any good dirty talk in that gibberish?" Merwin had a wicked grin on his face when he asked.

"I beg your pardon?" Salim looked confused and startled at the older marines intrusion. Jason dropped his head in hand, mortified at his subordinates behavior and tried to hide the blush starting in his cheeks. The question had caused a switch to flip in Jason's head, his brain imagining Salim's voice in his ear, whispering in Arabic. He did not need that right now.

"don't play innocent, can't tell me you've never had a pretty little thing call you daddy before in bed." A look of shock took over Salim's face as he realized what the vulgar man was implying, however, before he could reply Jason spoke up.

"Corporal Merwin, remove yourself from this conversation before you further offend our friend here."

"Aww, since when you care bout offending someone, LT?"

"May I remind you Lieutenant Othman here not only greatly assisted us but saved your sorry ass in the hut?" Salim saw a glint in Jason's eye before he continued to speak. "Besides, I wasn't aware that you needed to spice things up between you and Lance Corporal Gomez.

The last part had Merwin sputtering as laughter filled the common area from most of the other members of the group. Rachel had proceeded to continue where Jason had left off and thankfully distracting everyone from the two sitting in the corner. They made little progress as they both enjoyed the sudden lively atmosphere, Jason also grateful for the change as didn't want to dwell on the thoughts Merwin question had conjured up.

Unfortunately, later that evening he found he mind drifting back to the early conversation when Salim knocked on his door to finish what they had started. They had been at it for an hour before it was made apparent that Jason's heart wasn't in it.

"Is it the question your comrade asked earlier?" Jason's attention was drawn back to Salim at his words, he wasn't even aware when his brain started to drift, but he took the out instead of admitting what was on his mind.

"Merwin lacks social skills. I'm sorry if he offended ya by asking that shit, it was way outta line."

"It was no issue, I believe I've gotten somewhat used to his... Blunt manner." Salim shifted in his seat before continuing. "I had been more worried he suspected the.... newer nature of our relationship."

"I highly doubt that he would care beyond having some ammunition to fire at me." Jason turned his head down, staring at the bunk they were seated on. He didn't have his hat to hide behind as he felt Salim's eyes bore into him suddenly. The older man's hand came to his chin, making Jason meet his gaze.

"Though it does beg the question if you've learned enough to understand me should I try "dirty talk" as he put it." Jason's eyes went wide as his jaw dropped, Salim looked far too pleased with himself at the marines reaction. Jason recovered enough to close his mouth and swallow before replying.

"Only if you teach me what you want me to scream."

So just to clarify, I don't headcanon Joey and Merwin together. I think the ship is cute but I headcanon Joey as 19 or 20 with Merwin being 35. Plus I really like the brotherly dynamic between them.
