-hexx 🌀

rescued tired sopping on medicine wet cat x reader (platonic)

★ you always loved exploring ancient sfoth deity stuff. say, lord firebrand’s temple! you always got to see the wonderful sights there, with a tour guide of course.

★ though.. you also visited those like abandoned old temples or something like that . they WERE creepy and seemed like they were haunted, but it’s good learning about demon history!

★ one day.. you stumbled upon this . like. old temple thing! you forgot where it was but it was an ancient temple full of diagrams of spirits. you assumed it belonged to ghostwalker because.. spirit diagrams..

★ you also saw a.. weird.. looking.. doll., thingy.. it looked creepy. it sent shivers down your [BLEEEEP] spine. it looked like those dolls you see in horror games.

★ but you have zero survival instincts . so you approach the wind up doll..

★ the doll looks at you and says hi. he introduced himself as.. “ghostwalker”!

★ you were shocked. that’s an understatement actually.. you were.. astounded. Flabbergasted. you thought deities had better temples than this! you mean like..

★ yeah.. they definitely have better temples then this. but considering the state of ghostwalker, you can’t help but worry.

★ you walk over to him and ask if he’s okay. he told you to not worry and he was taking “medicine”. deities need to take medicine?..

★ you can’t help but.. wonder.. deities are gentle to mortals? yes, this is only one deity, however.. he feels.. too nice . you’re just a mortal! whatever, you decide to at least to try and help him, whether he thinks you’re inferior or not.

★ .. / .-.. --- ...- . / - .-. .- ..- -- .- - .. --.. . -.. / .--. . --- .--. .-.. . ★

★ ghostwalker just let you sit down while he was, and I quote, “repairing himself”. you have no idea what that means but you hope it doesn’t mean anything to.. worsen his conditions.

★ he felt the same as you. aren’t mortals supposed to be scared of deities? he doesn’t see mortals as weak as his other siblings seem to but.. is this how mortals show empathy to each other? despite having no power over anything at all, they still hold onto what they have.

★ that’s what he admires about you. your ability to hold on to everything you have.. without being extremely avid for your own personal gain. wait until bro hears about capitalism lmao

★ oh come on.. quite the thinking ghostwalker. they’re just a normal mortal.

★ he starts to.. open up little things about himself to you. about how he’s “a doctor” and stuff like that. maybe he’s being too trusting.. but.. he could always—-

★ “ y’know, mortals rely on other mortals. you don’t need to rely on me, but.. you can trust me with little bits! “ ★

One thing I love about Endeavour bts pics is that there's always an high chance you'll find THIS woman

Early entry for the Sunday confessional

Focus on the part that’s level with or just above the top of the red phone…

And join me in the shallow end of the pool 😂

Ohhhh, everyone being so serious and introspective today.

Personally I just like this angle. (For multiple reasons)

[jessieren]

As its new year and we’re mixing things up a bit I’ve decided to rebadge today as

Mischief Monday

And there’s plenty of Evans content for that - as we know…

Here’s my starter for ten

This pic is new to me and I’m dying to know what the hell was happening. Either way I love how much these two make each other laugh

Ares reaction when we invite the boys to watch football 🏈

this one is so funny to me i don't even watch football.

ares doesn't like surprises or new people.

you invited some of your male coworkers and friends, a group of 6 including you, to watch the game. you told ares beforehand of course! when it was just supposed to be three rowdy men watching the game in his living room. but he always overdoes the snacks anyway!

your wife was standing there holding a platter of football themed snacks and blinking at you. like he was trying to say in morse code 'WHY ARE THERE 3 EXTRA GUYS WHERE DID THEY COME FROM'. you blinked back at him apologetically trying your best to convey 'i should have told you. im sorry, honey.' yeah, based on the way he flattened his lips against his teeth as he forced his smile even higher he was not happy.

"i don't think ive ever met any of you before!" he greets them, setting the tray down on the coffee table.

"oh we've met! you're always coming in and being super cringey!"

you can practically hear him screaming in his head.

"lol yeah we know you. you're (y/n)'s lovey dovey husband. im the guy who makes your chicken sandwich." one of your other coworkers offered his hand to ares.

you saw his eyebrow twitch.

"yeah and im the one who fries the hell outta your fries!" your third coworker waved to him managing to be the only one who didn't piss your lovely wife off.

"thanks for the snacks like always, ares!" one of your friends who he knew said before picking up the little football shaped cheese sandwiches.

"..... i need to make more food. honey, come help me." ares turned on his heel and headed to the kitchen.

"ooooh i didn't think your super lovey dovey husband would be a ball breaker."

"wife."

"huh?"

"wife. please just call him my wife. he's gonna explode if you don't."

you got out of your chair bracing yourself for the amount of kisses it would take to calm him down.

"oh... ok.... gay people are weirder than i thought."

your coworker ate his words when you entered the kitchen and everyone could hear ares practically crying over being called a husband. and then about being called cringe. and then about not having enough snacks.

Ouch!!!

Morse: my only solace is the opera...

Local serial killer who hates him personally: Not for long!

More morse code! Gideon's Theme Lofi Track

The morse code translates to "FREE ME"

[see-arcane]

With a total of 1,176 votes tallied, the preferred plushie poll winner with 28.8% of votes is…

What a close one! Jonathan came in with 27.7%, the mysterious Mr. Morse with 24.9% and, delicious irony of ironies, London Dracula with 18.9%. Rest in pieces. Now, what does all this mean going forward?

First, just to reconfirm: I will absolutely be looking into the costs for having more than one plushie character produced at a time. For all that Mina has the top spot if it comes down to a solo run, Nobody Wants to Separate the Gothic Horror Soulmates, even as wee little plushies. It hurts my heart to think of. Mina and Jonathan deserve to sit side by side on everyone’s pillow. Just as Quinn Morse deserves to haunt the pillow next to theirs while casually throttling and carving London Dracula into pieces. For enrichment.

But beyond that, some other key things:

How is this getting done?

Sadly, I was not a cool enough kid for Makeship to greenlight a collaboration with me. Tragique. But while I was sitting around waiting for them to get back to me, I had time to browse around for other options. During that sniffing around I dug up a couple of promising manufacturers—one of which has some really neat options for not only plush toys, but all sorts of bric-a-brac like stationery, shirts, bags, cups, et cetera—and I plan to reach out to them for quotes to start with. Nothing really gets to move forward until I can nail down prices and the amount of X plushies to be made.

I am more than a little hesitant to tell anyone MAKE ME 1000+ PLUSHIES, PLEASE, THE TUMBLR POLL SAID THEY’RE GOOD FOR IT. These aren’t as simple as print/make-on-demand products, so I need to be careful estimating the amount of folks ready and willing to drop money on the little guys. But I will keep everyone updated on the numbers regardless!

Sooo is this a crowdfunding thing or an investment or what?

Don’t know yet. I am still between jobs at the moment—reminder to check out my Ko-Fi if you want to drop me a buck or commission some art!—but if this is something I can safely drop some of my own money in with the guarantee that it will let me do better than break even, I’ll do what I can out of pocket. However, if the cost of making something of good quality turns out too steep, I’ll start looking into stuff like Kickstarter and Backerkit and so on. I want to be sure I’m not gutting anybody’s wallet to pull this off and I want to be double-sure that what we’re paying for isn’t some flimsy throwaway junk. We are all here on the same Dracula book club starving artist site, so It Has to Be Worth It and not a money-sink for anyone.

Got it. Any other info to spare?

For the plushies specifically, this is when I’ll start:

Polishing up the current four designs into cleaner illustrations with different angles to provide for mockup samples with whoever I pick to manufacture with. If I get stuck on something—(which is likely)—I may throw up another poll to bug everyone about palettes and fashion choices. I have a few more designs I haven’t dropped yet for Epilogue Harkers, a non-Bloofer Lucy, and keychains that I’d love to share too!

Eyeballing materials. I’m already picturing a very close-cut cloth for the build and clothes, but I need to decide on filling too. Stiff overstuffing to hold a pose versus softer/lighter plush for floppy cuddleability. 

Poking at other character roughs, ala the Suitor Squad, the Weird Sisters, Van Helsing, Renfield, and Baby Quincey. And if all of those go well…

…maybe some designs for other favorites in the public domain playground. (Looks meaningfully at Clarimonde, Carmilla, Victor Frankenstein and the Creature, the King in Yellow, too many others.) ((But that’s all far-future stuff at the moment.))

Cool! But you also mentioned something about other merch?

I did.

Because goddamn do I want some Dracula-themed stationery. Journals! Memo pads! Pens! Every day we don’t have these things with the Harkers’ mark upon them is a victory for the forces of Count Dracula’s document-destroying evil. Likewise for shirts, totes, mugs, keychains, face masks and other things that could use some novel-flavored goodies. Hell, I’ll probably even get on with making stuff for The Vampyres to link on my website too. Because I am. Maybe behind on that. By several months.

Anyway.

I’ve got to start working on some designs for those too while the plushie process is progressing. Pray that my carpals don’t get tunneled.

Nice! Sounds like your plate is pretty full. So that’s it, right?

:)

Arcane?

:3c

Arcane. I need you to tell me this is all you’re working on.

>:}

Arcane.

Please stand by.

I have a little treat brewing for the Dracula Dailiers and @re-dracula folks in honor of a very special day for our good friend Jonathan Harker.

[bloodstained-ballgowns]

i thought spyfall was awesome when it aired, and tbh it's still awesome now. 'doctor who does james bond' could be super cringe and at points it sort of is, but on the whole they nail the suspense, the score, the double-agent theme.

having prescient knowledge about the master reveal has me practically rubbing my hands together with glee - the look on his face when he sees the tardis. "say hello to the doctor." the smile and look down when she storms past to 'look around the gaff': he's planning to ‘kill’ her (‘kill’ being the operative word since he would never actually let her die) and you can still see the affection. his slow steer of her investigation, her trusting obliviousness. "the only person with an open mind about all this...don't worry, i'll call him ☺️” "send us your location. kisses!" "we text :)!" - girl little do you know you are talking about your psychosexual homoerotic on and off (mostly off) bestie!!!!

love to see jodie in a suit and the bike chase car chase plane chase is pretty well executed. unlike the bbc to broadcast episodes with sex scenes ("kneel" "how else would i get your attention?") before the watershed but i can't help but support. the four knocks/double heartbeat as their morse code message........... i actually can't cope i've decided

“MI6 has never countenanced the possibility of extraterrestrial life” guys come on now this is ridiculous where were you all when black cubes took over the planet and tried to kill you all where were you when missy turned your dead into cybermen where were you when

nice presentation of the fam's resourcefulness when grappling with the eternal 'we're international criminals and the doctor is nowhere to be found what the fuck do we do' question (the beginnings of the doctorification of yaz specifically is strong here). finally realising how much the doctor has really kept from them and the shitty situation that leaves them in - asking 'what would the doctor do?' without knowing why the doctor would do that, because she hasn't truly let them know her any deeper than 'socially awkward supersmart space auntie' (contrasting to, say, clara, who was so exemplary at the wwtdd question exactly because she knew everything about him). i take the doctor/companion conflict wherever i can even if it's crumbs.

And this theme even recurs in the IM series, doesn’t it? The entire premise of how Hugo De Vries taunts and targets Morse in Masonic Mysteries is more of the same - getting him through the people and things he values. The retired McNutt, his precious Jaguar, setting a fire through his music collection… not to mention attacking his (maybe) romantic interest.

They come at you through what you love.

It's very much like a fairy tale. We get this line—or something close to it—three times.

The first time is in Home just after Thursday tells Morse about what happened to Mickey Carter (his first young protégé) and why he left London (to go into his first exile).

THURSDAY: They come at you through what you care about. MORSE: That's why you moved to Oxford.

The second time is in Uniform. Morse tells Thursday, "Whatever we find here's not gonna be forgiven," and tries to convince Thursday to put Jim (meaning also Joan) on secondment somewhere.

MORSE: What was it you said? "They come at you through what you love.” You have to keep them safe now, all of them.

And then finally in the churchyard of All Angels in Exeunt after Thursday has just revealed to Morse that he is being blackmailed by Lott. Morse tells Thursday that he knows money alone wouldn't be enough to give Lott a hold over him. Thursday tells him what is enough.

THURSDAY: I told you. They come at you through what you love. Family! You got to let it go. For everybody's sake

I'm sure I'm not the first or the last to point this out that this seed was planted all the way back in S1. There has also been a lot of attention paid to the issue of Morse not seeing himself as being included in those statements. He doesn't see himself as someone cared for, as loved, or as family, when he is very much all three.

However to come at it from a different angle, every once and a while it strikes me again that so much of this show is about a very simple premise:

It explores the idea that love and connection are what make you most vulnerable to the evils of this world. At the same time, they are also the things that make life worth living and that give us strength.

So how do you live that terrible paradox—with both of these things being true at the same time?

And how do you respond when your love is used against you?
