Montague & Edgar (❁´◡`❁)

Entirely self indulgent with no care about anatomy ٩( ᐛ )و reference below the cut

[hauntted-idv]

Ahah... It is now I realize how many IDV ocs I have again... :00 everything is under the cut because I feel this would be too long to put in the comments ;u;

Saint/Sylv (the architect) is a pretty light eater, probably just would default to a salad or something small. He steers away from anything messy or complicated since he usually eats while working, also he's decently health-conscious so lots of vegetables. Definitely the kind of guy to fuck up bread and soup if given the chance though

Montague (the curator) would be very picky about his food, he can't deal with certain textures (mushy/chewy stuff) or overwhelming flavors. he'd stick to something light, dry, and bland. However he is very into tea so his dish would probably be some sort of white tea, or maybe some plain scones

Damir (the storyteller) loves potato pancakes (I used to have them all the time, miss it lol), but specifically the way his mother would make them - so he'd be just mildly satisfied with what he'd get at the manor. He also likes sweet stuff, so candy or cheap desserts that remind him of the circus would do nicely

Nigel (the chimney sweep) is absolutely demolishing a huge bowl of beef stew or anything hearty with lots of meat and potatoes. He's a ratty guy who worked for scraps, and if he could remember when he was very young that he used to eat stuff like that, then it would bring good memories too from before he immigrated to Britain to work. If he got the chance for something fancier in his eyes, he'd choose fish

Cecil (the seamster) loves his fancy stuff, a bit high end. His dish would probably be just a bottle of wine or other liquor to be honest, but in terms of actual food probably any sort of small appetizer he could pick at while walking around. He's had his fair share of things to try and doesn't particularly care for much food in particular.

Heath (the firewatch) is gonna fuck up a loaf of bread. Like, nearly rock-hard stale bread, maybe with a little jam or butter. It's what he used to eat up in his watchtower and he just can't get past the routine of it. Anything more home-cooked reminds him of his mother which just brings bad memories

Damilo (the butcher).. Meat. Any kind of red meat, as close to raw as they'll let him get it ‼️alternatively, pasta, because he's an Italian little freak who has his families old book of recipes

Lavinia (the keyholder) also doesn't really need to eat being part of the manor staff, but if it came down to anything he'd like chocolate and nuts, probably almonds, just little things to snack on

Ivan (the actor) likes to enjoy the rewards of his success, so he'd probably have a full rounded meal with a nice steak or something like salmon to enjoy w veggies. He's pretty simple in what he wants at heart, maybe some wine

9 OCS.. Damn

What would your IDV ocs favorite dishes be? Whether some already in the game or one you've thought of? 🤔

This is random question Wednesday now

Hrmmm 🤔 lemme think about this

Threader seems like he'd enjoy oatmeal with brown sugar and milk and a cup of earl gray tea all sugar no milk LMAO very functional breakfast food and down to earth, he's not super indulgent, I think he has a habit of forgetting to eat for long stretches of time (and he wonders why he feels lightheaded smh) would also enjoy scrambled eggs with chives and tomato

Historian would probably like cold cuts, sandwich with a bit of mayo, tomato, and ham, they feel sick if they eat too much heavy stuff at once so this is a good light option for them. he would 100% fuck up a pomegranate, and probably also likes sneaking dark chocolates and pieces of mint to chew on

Staff doesn't eat, they functionally don't need to, but if insisted upon he'd probably prefer pot roast or some form of beef stew, warm comfort food with vegetables and nice meat chunks, this guy is a broths and soups fan for sure. I can also see him sneaking a handful of blueberries into his mouth from time to time

Launderer would like teriyaki salmon, they like to be a little bit richer in flavors and out of everyone they are the most indulgent, would LOVE an english muffin with cream cheese and strawberry jam on it, probably loves shit with too much frosting on it and has a major sweet tooth, him and historian both are prone to eating sweet stuff until it makes them a little sick

what about you? what stuff would your ocs like 🤔?

[fishandships]

I'll write something more in depth soon but i have started coming up with Christmas designs and a few essence outfits :))) (specifically putting the curator into alvas release essence as an overseer/lookout in a tower lol, and the architect into the upcoming season as a storyboarder for pictures in the journal) I'm excited to doodle those,,,

At this point ill just say their names, because anyone who knows my account would have already recognized them (　；∀；). The curators name is Montague Chastain and the architect's is Saint Sallow (self chosen name for the win,,! Saint is my trans king)!!

Saint is friends or at least well aquainted with a lot of people I think, with the exception of a few (Aesop for example, the embalmer scares him😭). Hes pretty happy with both listening or rambling to others. I think he'd get along pretty well with Victor since he'd love to send him letters and isn't overwhelmingly extroverted/overwhelming,, I also think he'd be good friends with Alva, murro, Mike, and Edgar! He doesn't try very hard to make deep friendships with *everyone*, and will only keep up a close relationship with those he really connects with, but still likes to talk and chill with most people there :) He also has a past with one of my other ocs, Cecil, as he came to sketch up some interior plans for his family's estate before the manor!

Montague also is fine with most people with the exception of few, but I don't think other survivors would be as fond of him compared to Saint because of his neutral/off putting behavior. He would definitely get along with Alva since he also likes talking to people who are passionate in their interests/work. He'd also probably just feel more comfortable with him since Alva is a little similar in personality. He'd also get along decently with Florian, Luchino (surv), Antonio, and Demi. They're all people I think wouldn't mind his behavior and could actually engage with him without any weird feelings or looks floating about. He would absolutely not get along with Vera, Andrew (from Andrews side as Montague would want to be aquainted with him but would probably upset him accidentally), and Orpheus. He would still get along with luchinos hunter form theoretically, but he'd personally have a hard time adjusting to the new form & such.

Also, 🎻⛸️ anon your ocs seem very cool!!!

Once I have more art up of them both (especially saint since I haven't posted any art of him on my blog yet) I'll come off of anon (๑˃̵　ᴗ　˂̵)و

omg i would love to see ALL of those designs when you're done!! (no worries, respectfully i won't, like, go hunting through tags for you or anything, but i'd definitely like to give you a follow when you're comfortable with that!)

that's such an eclectic array of friends, for both of them! but the reasoning you mentioned makes sense! (lbr who DOES get along with Orpheus. like name one person in canon who doesn't want to throat punch him). Montague's friend group in particular is basically just the chillest people in the Manor, plus Florian asldfkjdasf

u know what taking time to adjust is the realistic response to someone u know turning into a giant reptile who no longer gives a single fuck about conforming to societal norms. whereas Rosario was almost too quickly like

CHAPTER 03: TASTE OF HOPE

Litha has arrived and with it comes the heat of summer and short nights with swiftly approaching sunlight promises to fight away the darkness. After such gruesome and tragic attacks in the first half of the year, there’s a silent, but unanimous choice among the people of the wizarding world to rejoice in this light while it lasts.

Over what seems to be the course of a single night, a fair has been assembled in the same fields that would usually hold official quidditch league matches, flyers for the event tucked into copies of the Daily Prophet, the Quibbler, and Witch Weekly alike. It’s announced on the Wizarding Wireless Network and posters are plastered across boarded up shop windows, usually without people knowing how they got there.

At the funfair, the grass is lush and the air is warm, the music that permeates the grounds overlaid with shrill sounds of pleasure instead of screams of fear. There’s a risk in having so many people gather in one place, there’s always a risk, but everything looks distance from the top of a ferris wheel, even the dangers of war. 

The peace won’t last forever, just like the summer will slip away, but that is what fuels people into flocking from their homes to take part in the event. For a week, they will be able to rejoice in knowing that the days are long and the nights are short, but they still know the darkness will return.

This fair/carnival will run for the rest of the month and while you’re free to interact with whomever you please (and encouraged to respond to any open starters you see), you will also be assigned a partner for the end of this chapter. 

Please find your muse and your partner on the list below and reach out to start plotting! And for any open starters you choose to create that are related to this chapter, please tag them as smokechapter:03.

Guillermo del Toro Gómez born October 9, 1964, is a Mexican American film director, screenwriter, producer and novelist. In his filmmaking career, del Toro has alternated between Spanish-language dark fantasy pieces, such as the gothic horror film The Devil's Backbone (2001), and Pan's Labyrinth (2006), and more mainstream American action movies, such as the vampire superhero action film Blade II (2002), the supernatural superhero film Hellboy (2004), its sequel Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008), and the science fiction monster film Pacific Rim (2013). His latest film, The Shape of Water, won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival and is scheduled for an American release on December 8, 2017.

In addition to his directing works, del Toro is a prolific producer, his producing works including acclaimed and successful films such as The Orphanage (2007), Julia's Eyes (2010), Biutiful (2010), Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011), Puss in Boots (2011), and Mama (2013). He was originally chosen by Peter Jackson to direct The Hobbit films; he left the project due to production problems but was still credited as co-writer for his numerous contributions to the script.

Del Toro's work is characterised by a strong connection to fairy tales and horror, with an effort to infuse visual or poetic beauty.  He has a lifelong fascination with monsters, which he considers symbols of great power.[3] Del Toro is known for his use of insectile and religious imagery, the themes of Catholicism and celebrating imperfection, underworld and clockwork motifs, practical special effects, dominant amber lighting, and his frequent collaborations with actors Ron Perlman and Doug Jones. He is also friends with fellow Mexican directors Alfonso Cuarón and Alejandro González Iñárritu, collectively known as "The Three Amigos of Cinema”.

When del Toro was about eight years old, he began experimenting with his father's Super 8 camera, making short films with Planet of the Apes toys and other objects. One short focused on a "serial killer potato" with ambitions of world domination; it murdered del Toro's mother and brothers before stepping outside and being crushed by a car. Del Toro made about 10 short films before his first feature, including one titled Matilde, but only the last two, Doña Lupe and Geometria, have been made available. He also wrote four and directed five episodes of the cult series La Hora Marcada, along with other Mexican filmmakers such as Emmanuel Lubezki and Alfonso Cuarón.

Del Toro studied special effects and make-up with special-effects artist Dick Smith. He spent 10 years as a special-effects make-up designer and formed his own company, Necropia. He also co-founded the Guadalajara International Film Festival. Later in his directing career, he formed his own production company, the Tequila Gang.

In 1997, at the age of 33, Guillermo was given a $30 million budget from Miramax Films to shoot another film, Mimic. During this time, his father, automotive entrepreneur Federico del Toro, was kidnapped in Guadalajara. Del Toro's family had to pay twice the amount originally asked. The event prompted del Toro, his parents, and his siblings to move abroad. In an interview with Time magazine, he said this about the kidnapping of his father: "Every day, every week, something happens that reminds me that I am an involuntary exile [from my country]

Del Toro has directed a wide variety of films, from comic book adaptations (Blade II, Hellboy) to historical fantasy and horror films, two of which are set in Spain in the context of the Spanish Civil War under the authoritarian rule of Francisco Franco. These two films, The Devil's Backbone and Pan's Labyrinth, are among his most critically acclaimed works. They share similar settings, protagonists and themes with the 1973 Spanish film The Spirit of the Beehive, widely considered to be the finest Spanish film of the 1970s.

Del Toro views the horror genre as inherently political, explaining, "Much like fairy tales, there are two facets of horror. One is pro-institution, which is the most reprehensible type of fairy tale: Don't wander into the woods, and always obey your parents. The other type of fairy tale is completely anarchic and antiestablishment."

He is close friends with two other prominent and critically praised Mexican filmmakers Alfonso Cuarón and Alejandro González Iñárritu.[15] The three often influence each other's directorial decisions, and have been interviewed together by Charlie Rose. Cuarón was one of the producers of Pan's Labyrinth, while Iñárritu assisted in editing the film.

Del Toro has also contributed to the web series Trailers From Hell.

In April 2008, del Toro was hired by Peter Jackson to direct the live-action film adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. On May 30, 2010, del Toro left the project due to extend delays brought on by MGM's financial troubles. Although he did not direct the films, he is credited as co-writer in An Unexpected Journey, The Desolation of Smaug and The Battle of the Five Armies.

On June 2, 2009, del Toro's first novel, The Strain, was released. It is the first part of an apocalyptic vampire trilogy co-authored by del Toro and Chuck Hogan. The second volume, The Fall, was released on September 21, 2010. The final installment, The Night Eternal, followed in October 2011. Del Toro cites writings of Antoine Augustin Calmet, Montague Summers and Bernhardt J. Hurwood among his favourites in the non-literary form about vampires.

On December 9, 2010, del Toro launched Mirada Studios with his long-time cinematographer Guillermo Navarro, director Mathew Cullen and executive producer Javier Jimenez. Mirada was formed in Los Angeles, California to be a collaborative space where they and other filmmakers can work with Mirada's artists to create and produce projects that span digital production and content for film, television, advertising, interactive and other media. Mirada launched as a sister company to production company Motion Theory.[19]

Del Toro directed Pacific Rim, a science fiction film based on a screenplay by del Toro and Travis Beacham. In the film, giant monsters rise from the Pacific Ocean and attack major cities, leading humans to retaliate with gigantic mecha suits called Jaegers. Del Toro commented, "This is my most un-modest film, this has everything. The scale is enormous and I'm just a big kid having fun." The film was released on July 12, 2013 and grossed $411 million at the box office.

Del Toro directed "Night Zero", the pilot episode of The Strain, a vampire horror television series based on the novel trilogy of the same name by del Toro and Chuck Hogan. FX has commissioned the pilot episode, which del Toro scripted with Hogan and was filmed in Toronto in September 2013. FX ordered a thirteen-episode first season for the series on November 19, 2013, and series premiered on July 13, 2014.

After The Strain's pilot episode, del Toro directed Crimson Peak, a gothic horror film he co-wrote with Matthew Robbins and Lucinda Cox. Del Toro has described the film as "a very set-oriented, classical but at the same time modern take on the ghost story", citing The Omen, The Exorcist and The Shining as influences. Del Toro also stated, "I think people are getting used to horror subjects done as found footage or B-value budgets. I wanted this to feel like a throwback." Jessica Chastain, Tom Hiddleston, Mia Wasikowska, and Charlie Hunnam starred in the film. Production began February 2014 in Toronto, with an April 2015 release date initially planned. The studio later pushed the date back to October 2015, to coincide with the Halloween season.[

He was selected to be on the jury for the main competition section of the 2015 Cannes Film Festival.

Del Toro directed the cold-war drama film The Shape of Water, starring Sally Hawkins, Octavia Spencer, and Michael Shannon.[29] Filming was set to begin on August 1, 2016 in Toronto,[30][31] but del Toro confirmed on his personal Twitter account that filming would begin on August 15, 2016.[32] Production was officially announced to have begun on that day and wrapped twelve weeks later, the film is currently in post-production.[33] On August 31, 2017 the movie was screened and premiered in the main competition section of the 74th Venice International Film Festival where it was awarded the Golden Lion for best film, making Del Toro the first mexican director to win the award[34][35].

On July 21, 2016, it was reported that del Toro will retire from producing for projects that he isn't creating or directing himself.

At the D23 Expo in 2009, his Double Dare You production company and Disney announced a production deal for a line of darker animated films. The label was announced with one original animated project, Trollhunters. However, del Toro moved his deal to DreamWorks in late 2010. Trollhunters was released to great acclaim on Netflix and "is tracking to be its most-watched kids original ever

okayyyy getting somewhere xp

[hauntted-idv]

MY OCS TIERLISTS ON THE OTHER IDV CHARACTERS!!!!

I'll probably add this to my individual OCS posts when I make them on @idv-haunted-grounds --

Long post so it's all under the cut :)) mostly diving into the people they don't like.. Lol

MONTAGUE CHASTAIN: THE CURATOR

He's pretty open to most people! However, some he just can't get past the unsettling feeling they give him, some he can tell are untruthful in general, and some plain disturb him (luchino's hunter form). Also, some people just really don't like him because of his tone/attitude. He got a whole extra tier for his haters😭

DAMIR JELEN: THE STORYTELLER

He is locked in 🤞 with his Hullabaloo friends ofc. He's mostly indifferent towards a lot of people considering he doesn't care for others opinions of himself. He could not give two shits if someone thinks badly of him, he'll just keep his distance if they keep theirs. He also just doesn't know enough people well enough to have certain opinions either way. (Sorry for the formatting change--everything goes back to normal after him)

SAINT SALLOW: THE ARCHITECT

Saint is on decent terms with most of the manor! He's easygoing (most of the time) and shows respect even when it's not given in return. However, he has an extremely bad relationship with Norton 😭 he brings out the absolute worst, annoyed side in Saint, and they constantly quarrel if made to be in the same room together. Saint is honestly a bit scared of him. Ada also unsettles him from her relationship with Emil.

CECIL DOMENECH: THE SEAMSTER

Bro is the #2 hater in this post. He likes to keep his circle a little close-knit, but will get along with people so long as they show him respect. He has an attitude from his life before the manor that he can't let go, and it makes tensions a little high. He especially can't let a grudge go -- maybe if someone close to him 'fucks up' in his head, he can forgive it. But with someone he's not close to it just alienates him from them. He also tends to stay away from people he finds 'weird', like Murro or Emil. He's from a high-class family so he holds some opinionated beliefs whether he thinks he does or not.

HEATH DEMKIS: THE FIREWATCH

He's the #1 hater out of all my characters. He legitimately cannot stand most of the manor, or at most tolerates them. Hes a bit reclusive and close-minded, having only lived with his mom and then on his own from a very young age. His close friends were the people who offered him comfort when he first came to the manor, Emily and Ada specifically. He is unsettled by survivors & hunters that deal with gods, demons, or 'gifts' (such as Eli), and mostly just scared of the supernatural. He tolerates a few hunters either because they're extremely friendly/almost 'kidlike' in his mind (Robbie, gala even though she's not a child), or he can place enough trust in them to be neutral towards him (Michiko, Alva).

NIGEL CAHALL: THE CHIMNEY SWEEP

Nigel likes most people in the manor, but is a bit nervous around women as he doesn't want to come off as brash or rude to them. He has an attitude, although not as much as Cecil, but he is very loud and persistent. He cracks shitty jokes and won't shut up. So, if he sees a LOT of uncomfortable reactions from someone he'll just distance himself. He's not really open to changing so that's his way of remedying the relationship. He cannot stand people who don't work for what they want/a better life, or at least people he *thinks* are like that because he hasn't gotten to know them. Which is why he's one of my few characters who's actually friends with Norton. He is also just unsettled by some people (Aesop, Matthias, Emil).

LAVINIA AGNELLI: THE KEYHOLDER

He is scared of most people, even his close friends, simply from his absolutely terrible experiences from his past & then his seclusion in the manor. It is not specifically about survivors vs hunters, just in general he's quite timid. He does not like to interact with the residents and will try his best to be unseen. His close friends are quiet. If someone has an issue with him, he gladly stays away. Some people just creep him out, like Weepy. Some people are too much/too intense for him, like Mike, Lily, and Ada. (Surprisingly, he does like hullabaloo more than regular Mike).

DAMILO BATHORY: THE BUTCHER

He doesn't see a reason to dislike most people unless they give him a reason. He's generally pretty welcoming, but very open about his... Bloody habits. If I made an extra tier for him of all the people who didn't like him, it would probably be half the cast, so I didn't. Alice is only a friend from his POV, while shes literally investigating him for his murders. Lol. Also who likes Kreacher? Because he doesnt

[hauntted-idv]

mmm okay, I wrote out the songs I have that fit my characters best :3 only featuring a few ships because I'm not fully settled on a lot of them,,

📖 Damir Jelen - not (big thief)

🖼 Montague Chastain - she will destroy you (cocteau twins)

📜 Saint Sallow- andromeda (weyes blood) / sullen girl (fiona apple)

🪡 Cecil Domenech - twilight (bôa) / glory box (portishead)

🏚 Nigel Cahall - pique (humanwine)

🌳 Heath Demkis - army dreamers (kate bush) / your fathers son (shayfer james)

🗝 Lavinia Agnelli - wallflower (the shroud)

Damir/Florian - come to me (Bjork) / worse things (johnny hollow)

Cecil/Matthew (gf's oc) - ashes in the wind (the shroud) / step on me (the cardigans)

Nigel/Jose - I love you like an alcoholic (the taxpayers)

I'm not a massive fan of Nigel and Jose's song but it fits them for now,, :'t damir and Montague's songs are also placeholders until I find something better . I swear my oc x canon ships are happy I'm just in a bad point in life rn ♡

[hauntted-idv]

Is rhus montague and edg*r

HEKP ME why is his name censored,,.. 😢😢 anyways yes it is ngl.. Montague would like to have tea with franziska btw.. 😯

[hauntted-idv]

I think too much about idv...

[hauntted-idv]

,,, Montague mood board..

[hauntted-idv]

Where tf are they going

OUUU!!! SOMEWHERE!!!! they should visit an art museum... They can look at Renaissance portraits together

[hauntted-idv]

Ohh,, when the digital art is actually working

Wip (❁´◡`❁)

[hauntted-idv]

The way I made Montague is a nice middle ground i can relate to,,. He has an extremely flat tone and face where he comes off as rude or uncaring to those who don't understand him. But he also is like, a major yapper (^_^♪) and LOUD! He will talk your ear off where everyone else across the room can still hear him.

I think a lot of people hold the misconception that autistic characters' personalities can only be represented from 0 straight to 100, no in between (╯︵╰,) either completely silent/avoidant/detatched or overwhelmingly active/insensitive/eccentric. theres nothing wrong with representation like that but I need to see more inbetween for myself,,!!
