[bugisbonkerz]

makes me abit sad when people overlook dhmis. like no it’s not just garten of banban-poppy playtime-fnaf kids media that’s secretly evil. it’s SO MUCH MORE THEN THAT . there’s so much more depth to it that i can’t explain for the life of me like no piece of media has ever affected me like dhmis has. there’s so much to the characters and to the life they have and it’s also so silly and mysterious and cool and depressing all at the same time. (btw the whole thing about it being a sinister kids show is literally just a dull matpat theory and not canon.) also puppets. puppets are awesome ok?

Batman and Robin (2023) #18 rambling about theories, Dick & Damian “Harvey Night” crumb, and Damian (not) quitting

and ofc Damian’s new lovely monkey buddy!! look at her reacting along with Damian’s shock…🥺

v happy Damian has a new buddy that will ideally!! lead to the intro of Damian’s other furry and scaly friends!! :’) also a glimpse of veterinarian Damian if you squint lol

the mystery’s still running, and it’s to the point i should let it unfold rather than be suspicious of everything LOL it doesn’t help that Bruce is hopped up on poppy (which actually seems to work?? seeing those “vestiges”) and Bashar is turning out to be too obvious a culprit with all this attention being pinned on him (but according to solicits, Damian conveniently being kidnapped after he’s announced joining Bashar’s youth program…)

we still don’t know what’s up with the guy shouting at Bruce from #14 was about, which brings me to how Di Giandomenico’s flashback sections left us with more questions - is that where the Nicodemus Crowe cult or loyal Mementists play into the present?? and who framed Professor Blye??

SLAPPING THE CONSPIRACY BOARD ONE LAST TIME, running with @gotham-snark’s suspicion of Lautrec:

this could be a case of “staying close to the scene of the crime” thing having Lautrec around for both the first Memento case in London (also her first case in general) and now for the reappearance of Memento in Gotham.

more heavy squinting here connecting how Lautrec could frame Blye - knowing the location of his flat, having regularly visited.

but someone was fleeing the lab, so could there be multiple Mementos?? it’s a cult after all, and there seems to be plenty of death masks lying around lol

otherwise, outside of the comic, her first appearance issue was hyped up by both writer and artist. it could be a sign she’s the potential new big bad or she’ll become a longer running character sticking around Gotham to fulfill a similar role to the retired Jim Gordon 🤔 she's sharp and already getting familiar with Batman and Robin to the point of almost deducing identities - especially with the way she read "Jack" in #16. even her concerns for Robin are similar to Jim's in Robin: Year One

which brings us to the "Harvey Night"!

this being referenced as “a thing between the rest of us” is actually pretty fun to note. since it held a weight of failure and guilt, it’s a story that Dick was originally hesitant to tell Tim; but this implies he’s presumably now told all the Robins and Batgirls so, progress for Dick there??

Dick's "Harvey Night" was introduced in Robin (1993) #0 with Tim asking about how Dick became Robin and how his perception of Robin changed - basically, Bruce, Dick, and a district attorney(Robin1993)/judge(R:YO) Harvey had beef with are captured. Bruce and the attorney/judge are to be hung at the gallows with Dick betting on Dent's coin toss that ultimately ends with the attorney/judge drowning.

the story Dick tells Tim in Robin (1993) #0 is expanded upon with slight changes in Robin: Year One, but the incident ends with Dick being brutally beaten before Bruce can escape his bonds to save him.

i’ll mainly be drawing parallels from Robin: Year One between Dick and Damian's Harvey Nights because i'm starving for funsies!

Dick was already a trained acrobat, but add Batman training and he was taking down Gotham heavyweights breezily. Damian has always been assured in his skills, trained since birth to be prepared for anything. both make a mistake on the field that shakes their confidence.

Dick believed Robin is what allowed him to stay by Bruce’s side, and if he wasn’t good enough he had no reason to be there. for Damian, this event makes him question not just himself, but his own purpose as Robin.

with the Harvey Night being directly referenced, this last parallel deals more with how Bruce briefly lost Dick back then, to losing Damian now.

so Damian quitting…

while Damian’s efforts in volunteering at the hospital are lovely, he isn’t quitting Robin for it. quitting would be an act against half the statements he overheard from Bruce, which would be a silly reason to quit over…

he originally went to the hospital worried and guilty about Emma and was just offered a position to volunteer. the opportunity was a way for Damian to make up for his failing, maybe even an escape from any further faults. it’s also progress in pursuing ways to help others outside the suit!! either way, while he's taking bigger steps to be more involved at the hospital, Damian as Robin isn’t going anywhere in the comic-selling scope 😭

i said “Dick and Damian crumb” at the time of writing this up, but in a recent update from Miguel Mendonca, this arc’s interior artist alongside Javi Fernandez…

WE JUST MIGHT GET MORE THAN CRUMBS?? MAYHAPS, A MORSEL?? DICK IN A BATMAN AND ROBIN ISSUE SOON!!

ALSO IN RECENT NEWS FROM JUNI BA'S NEWSLETTER!! HE'LL BE DOING A SECTION OF INTERIOR ART!! explains the sneak peeks he's posted as of late! also kinda confirms that PKJ got around to reading The Boy Wonder after saying he would in an older interview haha

[nerdcousin]

Do you ever just think of a different universe, in which the marauders realise that they are being dicks in like third year or something when it isn’t too late yet, and they stop bullying Snape, and apologies; and Snape (and a good few of the other Slytherins bc that whole portrayal is just lazy writing in my opinion) don’t have as much of a problem with muggles (probably because they actually spend time with people who don’t have blood supremacist views/have positive examples of muggles and muggle borns, depending on case); and they all become friends.

And when Regulus comes to Hogwarts Severus befriends him, and ofc he’s Sirius’ brother. And because he’s obviously friends with other Slytherins as well, and he introduces them to the marauders and their other friends and thus the gap between Slytherin and Gryffindor starts to mend.

A good few more people find out about Rem being a werewolf and become animagi. Lily also befriends the Marauders and stats dating James earlier (canonically she couldn’t stand at least James and Sirius until sixth year).

All the friend groups (Marauders, Snape’s gang, Slytherin Skittles etc) become intermingled. These people all get invited to so many weddings and anniversaries after Hogwarts, it is actually ridiculous. The wizarding world, canonically-ish, has no issues with queer people so whatever rocks your boat works. Charora, wolfstar, jili, sevity, snulciber, Jegulus, rosekiller, marily whatever you want.

And Sev isn’t mentally quite as fucked about Lily’s death, but now he’s of course also sad about James, Sirius and Peter, and Regulus, but he’s got other friends too, ones that are not death eaters, so he isn’t (actually) one either, and he’s mentally just more healthy. We’ll just say he still becomes a spy for the Order for the sake of convenience.

Remus is left mourning Regulus and his other new friends after the war, but the wizarding community is stronger, and he had more support.

The Order is also in a better position because the kids managed to change the views of their age group so drastically.

If you have ideas for other characters, please add, idk too much about them cuz I tend to fixate on just a handful of characters but I would love to read your thoughts.

When Snape goes to teach at Hogwarts he isn’t a downright antisocial asshole like he is in canon so he becomes part of the Big Happy Hogwarts Staff Family. (If you know fics for this trope please tell me I am starved)

He’s also actually a good teacher, because he has always been competent, and since he’s healed from his own trauma much better than in canon, he isn’t an utter arse to everyone.

And when Remus comes to teach they instantly become, or rather re-become, rampaging bffs.

When the staff starts a prank war they team up, and no one stands a chance against the man who knows virtually every potion in existence and the literal former marauder.

Sirius gets pardoned, because this time both Remus and Severus are willing to hear him out. Peter still escapes because Remus transforms, but everyone present demands Sirius is questioned with verita serum. Professor Binns is finally retired/exorcised, and Sirius becomes the History of Magic Professor. (Idea for this from Oh God, Not Again on AO3)

Remus still has to leave because of the curse, but he drops by now and again, now that his boyfriend and hopefully-soon-to-be-but-we-all-know-it’s-gonna-happen-so-soon-to-be fiancé works there. Harry never goes back to the Dursley’s.

Snape eats dinner with the other members of the Order. His hair isn’t greasy, because he isn’t too depressed to wash it. Minerva and Poppy (they are married btw) are mother figures for him, as well as the Marauders. Snape isn’t Nevils biggest fear, because he isn’t a bully. Everyone is actually shocked when he kills Dumbledore, and he is just generally more well liked.

Umbitch doesn’t know what hit her when she comes face to face with not only the Weasley twins and the contempt of the entire student body and faculty, but also prank-planing mastermind and gay disaster Sirius Orion Black the Third.

Draco isn’t a twat, or at least not as much, because his parents weren’t as bad as they are in canon. Him and Harry start dating.

Harry’s name-choice for his kid(s) isn’t terrible.

The marauders era gang comes together in the afterlife by the end of the second war and ‘lives’ happily ever after. The rest of course join then eventually, but they’ve got their lives to live at first.

Like these characters could have ALL had such beautiful relationships with each other, platonic and romantic, but nO, they HaTe each other and they have too much tRaUmA

Feel free to add and comment, but (and the fact that I feel I need to say this says a lot about this fandom or at least my experiences with it) if you’re going to insult me for liking certain characters or having certain head canons, just don’t. You don’t like, scroll.

[iatnen]

Thanks for the pookies 🤝

THIS IS SO GOOD LMAO I had to draw it up for you rq

GREAT QUESTION !!!! I mean ofc Daniel is friends with pretty much everyone yk ?? He’s already popular for being the new fifth year + quidditch only adds more to his fame. But I think besides Sebastian, Daniel would be closest to Natty and Amit 🤔 While Sebastian, I’d say Ominis and Poppy. So yeah, pretty big group if they all hung out together LOL 😅 And for future reference, you don’t have to ask me for permission to draw Daniel at all !!! It’s an honor to me that you love my content so much, so the answer is yes yes yes

OMG….. PEOPLE HAVE MY NOTIFS ON ?!??!!

This is insanity…… Glad you’re all liking it

[jdzone]

obviously band together spoilers but, RAMBLE RAMBLE

i’m so torn up abt the fight before branch poppy and tiny leave…

john dory getting caught up in his old role- having actually /seen/ floyd too, there’s a reality to the situation that adds pressure (HMM kinda like expectations from the crowd in BroZone days)

unfortunately, because of that pressure john dory falls back into that headspace and gets over critical of their performances (he doesn’t say his own criticisms outloud, but he never does which leads to younger bros feeling unfairly treated [WHICH IS FAIR] when jd is just struggling with perfectionism feeling the band is entirely his responsibility as the oldest and since he started it… not the sum of its parts. like he knows they’re all talented ofc he just couldn’t separate that from the performance as a whole. this was its own tangent)

clay and bruce get triggered, and they end up ganging up on john dory. poppy attempts to diffuse the situation and we see john look at her with appreciation. but bruce n clay finally have a chance after all these years to vent their frustrations - especially since in their eyes nothing /has/ changed with john dory in reference to managing the band.

(all the while branch is doing the same stressed stim from when he was a baby ARRGH)

but, like before, jd is getting riled up and tries to defend himself. it’s a lot of responsibility - the feelings that have been brought up remind him of why he left —

“Why do you think I left!? So nobody would treat me like you did.”

to hear that from bruce, who both the brother JD has spent the most time with and potentially troll altogether depending on how isolated he was during the separation… there’s layers to what jd mentions about being the oldest and responsibility. we see no parents, and regardless eldest children are often coparents and JD stands for Jeldest Daughter. anyway,,

clay raises his voice to correct jd when he deadnames bruce /again/ and… jd gives clay and bruce exactly what they want. (they don’t want to be around him. it’s abundantly clear.) he needs to diffuse the situation no matter how much it hurts. they’ll go their separate ways after saving floyd… and.. unfortunately he hits right on branch’s insecurities. so jd managed to hurt all his brothers in extremely personal ways…

and then bruce belittles branch “don’t be such a baby” (bruce you gotta take a deep breath big big) and.. branch, in all his hurt he feels towards john dory, can relate to him. the oldest and the youngest. not allowed to change. always seen as bossy or as a baby from the nature of their birth order.

we see john dory step forward, and regret and recognition on his face.

idk i wish they had all gone after branch when he left, but i realize for the narrative it worked perfectly…

anyway.

[trans-luis-serra-navarro]

OK GOOOOOOOO READ THIS POST FIRST I WAS TRYING TO REBLOG IT BUT TUMBLR WOULDNY LET ME ADD ANY MORE PHOTOS OR TAG ANYMORE PEOPLE CUZ IM USING THIS POST AS A JUMPING OFF POINT!!!!!!! GO FOLLOW @theprestigegirly AND @cloverisnonexistantbro !!!!!!!!!

I had @void-detective ask me a few days ago if the ornaments on Luis’ jacket had any particular meaning and as with everything I fell down,,,,,, one hell of a rabbit hole HDNWHWNEHDNX

So, first off; I couldn’t find any super definitive answer to what was on his jacket but I have some pretty good theories!!!!!!!

@vespereargentum and their friend on Twitter helped point out to me that the floral designs are really reminiscent of old Spanish Renaissance furniture and like yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean look at it!!!!!!!!

These photos aren’t very good but you get the gist!!!!!!!

Why would Capcom put visual designs from FURNIATURE onto clothing I have no clue, but considering the fact that almost every single detail of Luis’ character down to the damn rings are extremely purposeful I’m sure we could pick up some pieces!!!!!

It also kinda makes sense, like,,, character wise too y’know- Valdelobos was a glorified Catholic cult and obviously they kept a very old-fashioned mindset so visuals-wise it makes sense!!!!!

@ 11cool also pointed out that his jacket has a lot of similar motifs to Matadors and Traje De Luces which they have their own post you can check out if you wanna!!!!!!!! Ofc there brings up the whole issue of y’know, Bad spanish stereotypes and bullfighting etc etc but this whole post is just throwing stuff at the wall in complete honesty!!!!!

And like the og post and @cloverisnonexistantbro said there’s a not for none Chance that the designers were trying to play into abstract windmill motifs would would be super cool!!!!!

@theprestigegirly and @kaychen666 were also kind enough to point out that the flowers on his jacket kinda look like poppies!!!!!!

And I think most people already know that poppies are a pretty common symbol for death (especially after war which I’ll touch on in a second) which. Y’know. Would be just SUCH A FUN AND SILLY DETAIL if true HAHDHENDHSJ

And like the og already has put so eloquently there are just,,,,,, S O many lil design elements of Luis’ that are so perfectly purposeful,,,;,,,… down to the fact that Luis has a gun from WWI (Realistically probably passed down from hsi grandfather, who would have probably had to have lived through Spanish civil wars (yayyyyy we love generational trauma yippeee another thing to add onto Luis amirite /lh)) and down to the fricken rings he wears and what fingers he wears them on!!!!!! (One of the rings for instance is of the Virgin Mary and it’s supposedly said that wearing a ring on the fingers Luis does symbolises leadership and compassion etc etc etc Yknow ring logic HDBEHEBXHX)

So like idk!!!!!!!! If anyone who actually has knowledge of Spanish culture wants to chip in PLEASE PLEASE DO!!!!!!! I’m the whitest Mf on planet earth there’s only so much justice I can give Luis BSNDHENDJSNSJ

Tl;dr: until Capcom or somebody whose more of a professional in this field outright explains what little design details like that mean for certain I’m just throwing stuff at the wall and letting people see it HDHEHEJEID

[comicbookgirl2]

About Poppy (the doll)

ngl I'm 50/50 on her because on one hand- I do think it's fair that people are angry at her (she's not very forthcoming with info, she could've killed us in the train crash, her snapping/questioning our loyalty after the boss battle where most people were forced to kill doey, etc)

but I genuinely think sometimes people forget that she's also a child, because like even the prototype points out- she's always had to pretend to be stronger than she is. That despite being a tiny porcelain doll- she's had to play a fairly big role (both in the hour of joy and even the rebellion) she's a lot like Doey in where despite deep down she's a scared kid, she's had to be a leader, even without technically being qualified for it. Now add in the fact that she's the cause of this (ofc she didn't ask to be turned into a doll but I think she feels some sort of guilt for it tbh) and this is her father's legacy that she's going to burn down and her position in the story is a bit more tragic than it appears on the surface.

Part of me thinks it doesn't help that she doesn't get a lot of screen time (that's probably intentional because her backstory is HUGE)

But I don't blame her for leaving us behind when being threatened by the case (which when you think about it is the epitome of objectification- you throw a doll into a case, not a human, which she expressed was one of her fears about being constantly operated on) , nor do I blame her for getting angry at us for killing Doey (she was probably just lashing out bc of grief), or even hiding her role in the hour of joy (she was clearly deceived by the prototype and felt horrified).

but I think it's also fair to blame her for her stubbornness. She genuinely didn't want to hear Doey out (she sent us to go rig the place while not knowing if he was alive or dead which was sorta messed up).

20 Questions For Fic Writers

Thank you for the tag @marley-manson!

I'll be tagging @seaofolives, @alovelyburn, @white-winter-hymnals, @moonlight-blue-rose, and @shiroganeryo

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

Currently six, five complete and one ongoing

2. What's your total AO3 wordcount?

16,145

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Mainly Berserk but I also write for D.Gray-Man and dabbled in SK8 the Infinity

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

A Familiar Canvas ➡️ wild (like young volcanoes) ➡️ say me, wight in the bom ➡️ One of Heart, One of Mind ➡️ Encompassing Lust

5. Do you respond to comments?

I always do!

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Probably Take Me to the Poppy Field. It's pre-canon ManaCross, so ofc it's angsty, and I do love myself some good ManaCross angst

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Easily One of Heart, One of Mind. It's a Yulma wedding fic and I shoved all the fluff and happy feels into it as possible

8. Do you get hate on your fics?

Not yet and not to my knowledge

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Uhhhhh let's see. Encompassing Lust contains sexual content but I wouldn't go as far as to call it smut. I'd like to write a proper smut fic one day but I'd have to be in the proper mood for it, if you get my gist

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

wild (like young volcanoes) would be considered a crossover by some, but it's really just an au, a Percy Jackson au

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Hopefully not

12. Have you ever had a fic translated

Not yet

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Not yet

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

This is hard! Can I cheat and make it a three-way tie between GriffGuts, Yulma, and Matchablossom? I tend to alternate a lot between these three and I love them so much.

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

My GriffGuts lovechild au. I've shared snippets of it on this blog before but every time I try to work on it, my mind takes me elsewhere. I still want to finish it though! The question is when

16. What are your writing strengths?

That's a very good question that I have no good answer to. I guess I'm pretty good when it comes to descriptions. And metaphors. I love myself a good metaphor, so when I have the opportunity to add one, I will

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I'd be here all day if I listed off every one of my writing weaknesses lmao. But if I did have to narrow it down, it'd definitely have to be my perfectionism and chronic revisionism. I can't stand it when a word or sentence structure doesn't sit right with my mind. I'll just stare at it for minutes and if I can't find a solution, I'll just straight up nuke the entire doc because everything else starts to look wrong in my mind. My beta readers can attest to this

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in a fic?

*traumatic flashbacks of all the VLD fics that had Lance speaking bad Spanish/Spanglish*

I don't think writing dialogue in a different language is bad at all, it's just very obvious when the author is 1) a non-native speaker and 2) uses Google translate. Don't be afraid to reach out to friends who speak the language you're trying to write!

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Officially published? Berserk. But first ever? That would be Percy Jackson. It's a stapled five-page, handwritten reader insert fic and I still have it in my room, under my bed.

20. Favorite fic you've written?

Oh hands down it's One of Heart, One of Mind. Yulma is a ship that means so much to me and it quite literally defined the way that I viewed queer ships in media. It took me forever to write this fic but that was because I wanted to do them justice.

Julie Joyful's Character Analysis !TW! Mental health, Joblessness, Murder

Hey can I tell you a thing i did? she gave away the clue to "dox" Home hehehehehehe, Alright let's dive in to her vague analysis

She's Jobless? - Yep, you read that right, Julie Joyful doesn't have a job. every other character has some sorta job, But her? nahhhh. Either she's too young to have one (Spoilers: She's 24) or she doesn't have the mental capacity to get one as we know her MO is based off of Children's Games like hopscotch, jump rope and managing to get on top of Howdy's Bodega....and having chlorokenesis (Power over Plants).The only job-y thing she does is play business woman. I'm wondering if she's still a kid or it's just she's working for the show, idk.

Ofc Julie's autistic - Ya bois know that @partycoffin confirmed that She's autistic. Her stimming includes running, jumping up and down and flapping her arms like crazy (Wholesome fact: She and frank got the flapping arm stim from poppy🥺), Oh righttt! Did i mention that she's Level 2 Autistic?

She's hangin on frank - Remember when i said she was jobless? "How'd she's standin?" bcuz Frank is helping her out. Since she has the mental capacity of a 4th grader and add in her autistic behavior, I propose a theory that julie would be impulsive / indecisive to know what to wear (Ur not alone julesss). I feel like frank is just standing outside her room contemplating about his life's decision and she would just stick her head out for a moment going like "....Is this dress cute or i'll just stick with maroon?".

No wonder there's Frankly x Joyful ship - Yeah i figured out why WHRP, The Fans and the time period ship Frank and Julie together (BISH THEY'RE GAE). Cuzzzz they made Julie make romantic advances towards frank but i feel like frank doesn't know the gist of whats going on so ofc he's gonna reject it (U can see this sheet happening in art) hell, Wally knows about this (Thank you guestbook) and is just bringing out the apple slices to watch sheet like this happening.

HOLD THE PHONE!!! - Is Home targeting her? cuz theres like a cycle where home looks side-to-side, at howdy's and eddie's then finally up at julie's before they're eyes go black. A bit strange ain't it? There's blind spots for Home and its Frank / Eddie's house and Sally's Theatre / House so ofc both of those fever dream hallucinations would survive.

Ethnicity Analysis Time!!!!!! - Okayyy her ethnicity's a bit vague Buttttt i'm gonna guess on a whim, She's Half Latina and Black, Specifically from regions of Oceania / Australia cuz of her natural blonde hair cuzzzzz It's rare to have dark skin and Blonde hair due to genetics, but it's possible from the indigenous parts of Oceania.

Julie's Story - Julia Alegré was born in 1945 as the 4th child younger than Jonas, Beatrice and France (I swear these names are real). As a child she had to be taken care of more due to her Level 2 ASD but atleast she made friends to support her. At high school she dated 출격선 (Chulgyeong Sun / Sally). fast forward to 1964, at 19 she moved out and then 5 years later she got isekai'd into Welcome Home, She was different as she plays along very well and she's a bit gullible but shes still a fan fav and then 4 years later she got frickin murdered.

Yeaaaaaaahhhhh She's a bit vague but too bad she gave away a clue to dox her town lmao.

Thank you for reading! (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

[olivethe-fourth]

(this is OLD, just ignore it bbg)

so i figure if everyone else is making a welcome home au I might as well

This au is called the Porcelain Doll Au or PD

I absolutely suck at drawing so I’m going to describe it and you can use your imagination to do the illustrations

In this AU, all of the puppets are now porcelain dolls being possessed by the spirit of the unfortunate children that decided to come across home

Also, the dolls can move but their bodies are very stiff and heavy, so it’s extremely tiring to move

Home is still possessed in this au and is basically a ghost house (a land ghost ship) that lures people, mostly children, inside to get killed. I would like to mention that all of the furniture inside is alive and it basically looks like a torture dungeon, there’s so many sharp objects and ways to kill someone in there it’s wild. Anyways, home basically lured them inside, shuts the door and locks it so they don’t come out, and they have 60 seconds to pick how they want to die or home picks for them, and you can tell who has picked their death and who hasn’t. Anywho, now onto the victims

Wally was the first victim, ofc he was Mexican and had a very colorful outfit on, and dark black hair that everyone said looked blue, he died by getting his eyes pierced (that’s why he stares, sometimes his eyes on the doll leak), he also died in the living room, the room that you see as soon as you walk in. He was 5 years old when he died. Wally stumbled across house after wandering off with his friends, eventually loosing them and coming across home trying to find them again. Wally was the first one to find out they they could move, because of how badly he wanted to draw. He usually scoots over to corners that haven’t been dusted (which is every corner) and makes lines with the dust on the floor/wall.

Julie was the second victim and also Wally’s friend, she had long blonde hair and a white dress on, she encountered home when was picking flowers and so she died holding flowers, and she died by being stabbed in her heart so her dress is a bright red and there’s a crack In her chest (her doll has a flower in her hair) She chose her death, trying to do the least painful thing possible. She was 6 1/2 when she died. Sometimes, in the middle of the night she remembers that she never got to give the flowers to her mother, and begins to cry. Water drips down from the painted glass eyes and the soft sound of weeping echoes through the halls. Home uses her weeping to an advantage however, he mimics the sound and lures people in with the weeping. She died in the upstairs bedroom. Also an unimportant detail but she has very mesmerizing blue eyes.

Sally was the third victim, she is a Hawaiian with short blonde hair, wearing an overall skirt and a white t-shirt, she died by having her head set on fire, so she has the sun for a head and her Temperature is always warm. She died in the bathroom In the tub, trying to put out the fire, but she had one dilemma, home didn’t have any plumbing. Although she is a doll now, she likes to sing songs from various musicals in the middle of the night. Because of that, Sally has a voice draw string that she can only talk out of when it’s pulled. I forgot to add this, but she was 7 when she died.

Barnaby was the fourth victim, he’s a Mexican (quite like wally) and wore a blue polkadot t-shirt and the same pattern pantsc he was a little chubby and was walking his dog when he found home, his dog began barking and ran towards home, to which he followed. He found his dog strangled in the downstairs bathroom before he died. he died by getting his head cut off, and so his head is always loose and sometimes falls off. He died in the downstairs bedroom. He chose his fate and figured that decapitation would be the quickest and least painful. He still likes to tell jokes, and sometimes thinks of a really funny joke and begins to burst out laughing in the middle of the night. He was 7 when he died.

Poppy was the fifth victim, she is Caucasian and lived on a farm, she ran into the woods to avenge her chickens that were eaten by a fox, she wore a rainbow dress and had rainbow highlights in her hair, she died by getting skinned, and so the paint slowly chips away on her doll. She died on the balcony, so closed to freedom but just a little to late. She was 8 1/2 when she died. She usually comforts the other kids when they feel homesick of they’re just starting to get used to their new bodies. She is the most responsible next to Frank and is like a mother to all of the other children. She sometimes dusts the walls and floors, making sure to keep at least one corner for Wally!

Howdy was the Sixth victim, he helped his father work at his job and was taking a hike in the woods on his break, he had black hair and had a love for caterpillars. He died by getting his ribs torn out, making it look like he had multiple arms, and so his other set of arms are a little off than the other. He was 8 when he died, and he died in the kitchen trying to grab a knife to protect himself. He is mature and organizes the torture devices when he’s bored. His arms sometimes fall off, and have to be put back on by home, when home feels like it of course. Other times he is found talking about how much he misses his dad and the shop he helped out at. He tried to refrain from talking about his dad, to try and not get homesick. He once tried to break everyone’s dolls to set their souls free, but failed and was punished by having his arms off for a week. After that, he didn’t try and free himself again. Sometimes however he tries to climb on top of tall objects, but always gets put down by home.

Frank was the Seventh victim, always a grumpy and never did anything fun, he wore a black suit and had full black hair, he was always bullied and was dared to go inside of home, despite all of his instincts he went inside. He died by getting his hands cut off and surgically replaced by bleeding out, and so the hands on his doll are more detailed and slightly discolored, they are also always loose and slightly damp. He is the oldest, he was 9 when he died. One time Frank tried to burn down the home, to release him and his friends from this hell (their spirits can only be freed if the dolls are destroyed) but when he lit the house aflame, and closed his eyes to embrace death, he realized the humidity from the flame awww was gone, he opened his eyes to find the fire gone, And although everyone else excepted their fate, Frank still tries to break his and Eddie’s doll to free their souls he always fails and whenever he does home punished him by locking him in the room he died in for a day. Frank and Eddie were best friends, and eventually more, that didn’t last long however, for Frank died on the same day him and Eddie had their first kiss. Frank tried to be clever and tell home that he wanted to die of old age, but instead Home chose for him. Frank also died in the library upstairs, I’d like to mention how Frank and home are enemies, if home could he would banish Frank to relive his death everyday, alas that isn’t possible. A little thing I’d like to add is that Franks doll is coated with pollen and nectar during the spring and so all throughout spring/summer butterflies doesn’t completely cover him but a whole lot of butterflies like to land on him daily

Eddie was the eighth and final victim, he was a mamas boy and always listened to his parents, but after his family dog ran away his mother was devistated, trying to cheer up his mourning mother he ventured off into the woods. He was Caucasian and had bright red hair with freckles and a gap between his teeth, he died by getting his legs cut off and died of shock. His legs are always falling off and severely cracked. He was 8 1/2 when he died and died an exact week after Frank did. He did try and chose his death, but home couldn’t understand him through his stuttering and sobbing and so home chose for him. He died in the hallway trying to crawl to freedom despite the unbearable pain he felt. Eddie didn’t want to be a mail man, but he did help out in the post office to gain money to give to his mother.

However, after Eddie died the deaths seemed to come to a sudden stop, at the same time tho, Wally seemed to start acting a little different..bad different.

That’s all folks, if u got any questions feel free to ask, I’m happy to answer them ^^

ahhh i missed your birthday, sending (belated) best wishes ✨ i'd love to know more (unspoilery, tho) abt what you thought about honey girl and ppl we meet on vacation, i have both on my tbr and since you have a similar taste in books i'm very 👀👀 yk:) hope your week's going well!

ohh, thank you so much sabrina, you're an angel <333 hahaha yes, i wasn't really on tumblr that day and after that it felt weird to be like 'yay guys it was my birthday!' so no worries.

ofc i am happy to give you some opinions on both these books! honey girl was actually quite a disappointed for me. i was expecting to end up loving it since it includes topics i have loved to read about in the past (mental health, sapphic relationships, academia and race, the importance of queer support networks/'found families'). but in the end i was just kinda bored while reading it? i couldn't really connect with most of the characters, probably bc the plot was moving at such a weird pace. every time i was getting used to a setting or a set of characters the story would change locations or have a time jump that took me out of the story again. it was still an okay read and i would still recommend it to people who are looking for a queer contemporary that focuses on issues you face in your 20s, but i wasn't majorly impressed bc the writing style just wasn't for me.

pwmov was quite entertaining and i definitely had more fun with this one. but i also really like emily henry's writing style and i generally eat up the friends-to-lovers trope so i might be bias. it's definitely a lot more romance-y and lighter than honey girl, but that also means it makes heavier use of romance tropes. if you despise miscommunication tropes, i think you'll have hard time with pwmov. while i personally don't think it was a big issue, i can see why some people are annoyed by the use of this trope in this story since it is a major conflict. ((idk if it's spoilery since it's basically something you figure out right from the start as an attentive reader—but skip the rest of this parenthesis NOW if you like— but there is literally no reason why poppy and alex cannot be together other than that they are both too chicken to tell the other how they feel... i absolutely sympathize with this fear they have to open up to each other but some people are REALLY bothered by that so if you feel the same and you need a major conflict that is more intense you'll be disappointed with this one.)) another thing i saw people complain about is the non-linear narrative. i enjoyed the non-linear storytelling, but if that's not you're thing either i would definitely think twice about picking it up. it's easy to follow the story tho, so if you're on the fence about picking it up just bc of that i'd say give it a try. generally speaking i don't think this books is or did anything special. beach read was definitely better in my opinion and it brought much more to the table than many other romances. pwmov is different in that regard. it's full on romance without trying to add any interesting contemporary aspects. pwmov is just a cute, light friends-to-lovers romance that doesn't try to be much more, and if that's something you're in the mood for i'd recommend it, but if you don't really care about romance novels unless there is anything special about them you probably won't have the best of times with this book. ((i still think it's better than most romance novels that are out there bc emily henry writes realistic and relatable characters that employ common sense, so i'd rec it to people who like most romance novels))

hi!!! i was usin ur au genderator and i got an au where Breezepelt is an medicine cat n... thought it was so cool. i was wonderin if u had any spiball ideas for it?? i really wanna use it isngienbr

shoreee i think i have some

> the first thought i had was breezepelt deciding to become a med cat after the great battle, bc he realises how much damage hes done and wants to help others. this doesnt rlly diverge from canon much tho so ill toss out some other ideas

> altho initially wanting to be a warrior, he changes his mind after the daylight gathering, when jaypaw saves him + lionpaw. hes intrigued by the Medicine Cat Life. maybe part of him believes that if he has a big important role in the clan, then crowfeather will pay more attention to him

> so like! i think it would still make sense for him to train in the dark forest, but obv hes not as talented at fighting... so maybe he uses herbs (etc) to harm his opponents? like small amounts of yew, or excessive poppy seeds lol

> im pretty sure canon breezepelt rlly enjoys the idea of physical strength + sees med cats as weak. so depending on what u do with that u could make him insecure in the dark forest bc hes not that talented at fighting, or very confident and defensive of his position!

> his relationship with jayfeather is now way more important because !!!!! thats a cat he trained and worked alongside for basically his whole life. which adds some extra SPICE to when/if breezepelt attacks jayfeather at the moonpool, or hurts his littermates/family, etc

anyway. ofc u dont have to use any of these ideas but do lmk if u continue to work on this au, im rlly interested in it :]

[faedawayyy]

here is how i feel the girl groups involving my characters are atm! obviously, don’t feel bad if your characters are on here. it’ll mainly be nadine’s and meg’s (who plays athena) characters bc that’s who i have the most f x f with but people can definitely be added and it’s just my interpretation.

i just REALLY want realistic friendship groups without it getting cliquey. sometimes i feel a it ...meh... when everybody is friends with everybody.

PLEASE LMK WHERE YOU THINK YOUR CHARACTERS COULD/WOULD FIT BECAUSE!

IVY - FAN 

she doesn’t really have a friendship group with the fans at the moment, but i feel like her role in a group would be like...humbly popular? she isn’t an it girl or even in the it girl group but people love her and she gets along with most of the other fans. maybe a few people have negative things to say but yeah, she’s quite sweet and unproblematic for the most part and would probably strive to have friends that are similar

ESME - FAN

definitely one of THOSE fans who thinks she’s above others and a celebrity. she’s popular mainly because people want things from her and/or are scared of her. i feel like she’s the type who has lots of people love her to her face but then they all talk behind her back...so she’d fit more in with bitchy fans?

SAVANNAH - FAN 

she’s one of the younger fans and still in high school, but she doesn’t have friends there so the fans are her main friendship group. i think she’d be eager to please and often get herself walked all over lmao. she’s currently good friends with kylie, who’s like a big sister to her. 

MARIA

i guess she’s currently in a mini-friendship group with zara and rosalie. i wouldn’t say it’s the “popular group”, but i feel like they have their jokes and inside fun. probably the girls to get quite a bit of attention on a night out without trying too hard. i think maria’s probably like the mom friend of this group LOLshe could maybe do with a secondary group that mainly exists bc classes, so like friends she speaks to in fashion but they’re not super, super close. 

ELOISE

eloise has no friends but i want a group for her! i feel like she’d have more of a diverse friendship group...like all types of people, with the constant theme of being chilled and enjoy evenings having meals and/or movies/drinks rather than going out and being at the centre of things. her group would definitely not be like one of the it cliques but they like each other’s company and dont care about all that....and probably have their fair share of love triangles and petty dramas to make it fun.

MARGO

margo is in disney’s group. she and disney are long running best friends and have both been popular since high school. the group - to my knowledge - also includes madison, gisele, kendall and mackenzie but her liking towards them all varies depending on the day. imo, margo is definitely the hot mess of the group. she’s always upsetting somebody or getting into some kind of trouble. but yeah! i’d say this is one of the more established cliques and ofc its open to people joining and being hc’ed into.

DANICA

it hasn’t been said until now but i’m gonna put danica in eloise’s group. i feel like she’d love to have a friendship group that’s more chilled after not really finding her feet in more uptight/demanding/popular cliques.

MEREDITH

LISTEN SHE’S NOT A NoT lIkE tHe OtHeR giRLS girl but she genuinely WOULD have more platonic friendships with guys than she does girls. i just get that vibe from her. but it’s more through growing up a tomboy and having brothers and male cousins rather than trying to impress anyone. i think she’d maybe have loose connections to a friendship group of 3 or 4 semi-popular girls who she has girl time with and enjoys it equally.

YULIA

this !!!!! friendship group isnt off of the ground yet but im rly excited about it. they’re kind of like the jr. version of the OG it girls and as far as i knooooow it’s like, imogen, yulia, elora, alyssa, zara...maybe flo too i think! yulia is 100000% the friend that is pretty popular but lowkey goes out of her way to make one or two people feel shit bc she’s just that kind of person and has low self-esteem but YES if you have any young-ish girls for this (basically girls who can be more associated with the ‘new’ characters rather than like the dallas/gigi/disney/poppy/clyde/fakehell era) then add them if you think it’d be their vibe! 

BRIELLE

oK SO LISTEN, brielle’s real friends are like julian, soraya, ronnie etc. but she’s gradually going to become friends with imogen and become kind of infatuated (platonically) with it all and really enjoy being a part of the group above bc she’s never had that kind of bond with other girls before. i think she could possibly lose herself a little bit or constantly be in limbo between being two different kinds of people if that makes sense! 

ELORA

she too is in the yulia group mentioned, but she’d be like...the argumentative one. i doubt she’s ever really mean to people in the group but she’ll fight with others for her friends. she’s kinda loud and probably one of the ones you notice first in the group but is also so lovely to the people who know her well enough.

HENSLEY

i’ve always viewed her group of friends as like the second tier popular group. they’re definitely not the it girls but they are popular for different reasons - mainly through being actually likeable. i’d say it consists of soraya, christelle, poppy, holly and casey too rip...but again, people can be added. they too have their fair share of bitchiness but i definitely see them as the “nice/friendly/bubbly girls” if you’re looking at them from a stereotypical point of view.

ISSY

she doesn’t really have a group LOL but i think it kinda works for her. she tags along with ruby to most things and would socialise that way. whoever ruby hangs out with, issy hangs out with too. it’s a comfort thing but also just her preference! so she’d be open to having friends by association or maybe friends who she started to know through ruby but came close with anyway.

rod + hero for the mc thing uwu

INTERESTING mix time to display what could have been and leak the ending of letterman verse let’s GO

rod mc: coretta cruz

how tall are they?

coretta is 5′5″! she’s pretty short, especially compared to the rest of the mercy park crew

how do they tend to dress?

blue langston sweater & jeans every day jk except not really. she has a really comfy kind of art heaux aesthetic? she loves vibrant coloured turtleneck and interesting scarfs and big overcoats and flare-leg pants in interesting colours or patterns. if you’ve ever been to a city that was a ‘hipster’ city she dresses like how those people dress now. yeah. also she wears glasses you will not take that headcanon from me.

do they like how they look?

yes! in highschool she was very shy about her appearance and pretty easy to make insecure, but since the whole thing with the mercy park crew and getting to college she’s become a lot more sure of herself and has really settled into her aesthetic.

are they an only child or do they have any siblings?

as established by rod canon she’s an only child, but in my personal canon her dad adopts logan and they really do have a sibling-esque dynamic

are they a morning person or night owl?

morning person ahskshs. her friends all rip into her for being like “well goodnight :-)” at 9:30 pm on the dot after having been poring over her biology textbooks for two hours with six different coloured highlighters and organized sticky tabs only to get up at 5 am the next morning to be able to watch the local news station’s breakfast broadcast

are they a cat person or a dog person?

cat person! she loves cats and she likes small dogs but she has a bit of a fear of larger dogs, and although she’s not terrified of them, her nervousness around them prevents her from loving them as much as cats.

got any favourite foods?

THE CORETTA SPECIAL OFC!!!! she loves anything with bacon in it, and she and her dad used to have ‘bacon wednesdays’ where they would try to cook a new dish with bacon in it every week. she also loves apple and rhubarb crumble, and she and her dad like to bake it together because it reminds them both of baking it with her mum before she passed on.

how about favourite drinks?

she loves tea! iced tea, hot tea, milk tea, whatever! if it’s tea based, she’ll drink it, and she also loves a good berry smoothie!

what are their favourite movies/tv shows?

coretta really likes romcoms! mona rolls her eyes at having to watch them, but coretta is a huge romantic and she loves that kind of stuff! she’s also a big fan of animated movies and has an interest in foreign films as well! she tries to go to as many film festivals at langston as she can!

do they have any hidden talents?

she has a really good memory! she can remember weird little facts that someone told her years ago that just stuck with her ahsksh.

do they believe in love at first sight?

yes! she’s a romantic and the world kinda sucks so she likes to believe in sweet, positive things like that. she doesn’t personally think she’s ever experienced that, but she also doesn’t feel like she’s missing out in that regard! even if it doesn’t happen to her, it’s nice to believe there’s something like that out there.

who is their love interest?

mona! i said fuck canon lives and basically everything is the same instead of mona getting shot it was logan & instead of dad being reluctant to help he was on board so with fbi questioning he says that he got coretta and the mpc crew to work as his informants in secret because he suspected jason was corrupt, because they’re just kids! anyway it all works out okay and mona comes with coretta to langston where both she & logan are doing bridging courses at a community college to finish high school while working part-time, and she and coretta are very happy together!

what are they afraid of?

she’s minorly afraid of large dogs, and she’s not really a huge fan of loud noises, especially not after the showdown with the brotherhood.

what are their guilty pleasures?

expensive berry smoothies... the healthy “organic” ones.... yeah.... and logan’s a filthy enabler so they’ll be in the supermarket and she’ll be like “oh i don’t NEED one” and logan is like “well... what if.... and just hear me out here pip.... but what if.... we got two”

what was their dream job as a kid? is it still their dream?

she wanted to be a zookeeper! now her dream is to be a zoo vet and so she’s studying veterinary science at langston to be getting on that! i actually don’t know how american colleges work but i know they are cracked but that’s her goal and her ambition and she’s on to it!

have they ever broken a bone?

nope! miraculously she didn’t even break anything when she wrecked her car to face the brotherhood!

have they ever been in trouble with the law?

w. well. yes and no... for a bit she was, but after her dad testified to say the mercy park crew helped out, they were pardoned and so she technically hasn’t been charged with anything, although obviously ride or die kind of hinges on the fact that she has been ahslshsjs

+ three other random facts about them!

because she’s so much shorter than the mpc, logan gave her the nickname “pip” which is short for pipsqueak. she had a crush on ingrid for most of high school, and she and ingrid have talked about this in college and had a good laugh about the fact that ingrid liked her back and they just never knew it. aaand finally she’s learning how to ride a motorbike! colt transferred to langston and he’s been teaching her!

hero mc: ronan bishop

how tall are they?

ronan is 6′1″! tall boy!

how do they tend to dress?

uhhh kind of a hybrid of casual and formal i guess? he has a lot of button up shirts, but whether he’s wearing them for work or personal purposes depends on whether he adds a sweater or a jacket over top! he likes a very clean aesthetic and he’s very neat in his style of dress (kenji likes to make fun of him by calling him a prep ahsjs)

do they like how they look?

yes! he’s quiet and a bit shy, but poppy is an amazing hype woman who really boosts his confidence a lot because if he ever feels insecure he can just message her a selfie and she’ll gas him up until he’s achieved god-like status of self-confidence

are they an only child or do they have any siblings?

only child! his mother fostered some kids in his late teenage years, and still does, and he still keeps in touch with a few of them who were either adopted permanently or outgrew the foster care system!

are they a morning person or night owl?

a night owl! he fights the good fight getting up in time for work, but not without a large amount of coffee and a lot of mournful stares back toward his bed.

are they a cat person or a dog person?

cat person! he likes dogs, but he prefers the more calming energy of cats! you just didn’t see her in hero but he has a pet cat named apple ! she’s a very small light ginger cat and he adores her! kenji and poppy have been taking care of her while he’s in the prism dimension. dax isn’t allowed to because he spoils her and overfeeds her ahsksh.

got any favourite foods?

BIG fan of soup. he made a lot of soup when he first started living on his own because he was working long hours at prescott industries and it was easy to refrigerate and then reheat with some toast and it was nice and warm and reminded him of home! he cooks more now that he has a more solid job and he doesn’t have to work ungodly hours, but he still loves soup.

how about favourite drinks?

coffee is his best friend! he drinks a lot of black coffee, but every now and again he’ll treat himself to a flavoured latte when at brunch with one of his friends. his favourite flavour is caramel lattes!

what are their favourite movies/tv shows?

ronan doesn’t really watch a lot of tv or movies. he didn’t have a tv in his apartment for a while, and he reads books a lot more, but since he finally caved and got netflix, he’s a big fan of documentaries, both tv shows and movies! he’s really interested in them ahskshs.

do they have any hidden talents?

being a superhero i guess ahslshsks! aside from that not really? he’s a really speedy typer but that’s not a hidden talent because it baffles grayson whenever he sees him typing at his computer he’s like “that’s abnormal. how r u doing that” and he doesn’t know. he just does it. he’s at 120wpm and climbing bro.

do they believe in love at first sight?

he’d like to believe in that! he’s definitely felt lust at first sight before, but he thinks it’s sweet to believe in having an instant connection, even if he’s not quite sure one could immediately translate that connection to love.

who is their love interest?

kenji! ronan had a BIG crush on grayson for a lot of their college years but he kind of figured it was unrequited, and kenji being so openly into him and so vastly different from him in terms of mannerisms just really intrigued him! they’re kind of an opposites attract couple, but they really care about each other and ronan was really surprised that he did end up loving kenji the way he does, but he wouldn’t change it for the world.

what are they afraid of?

never being able to get back from the prism dimension for one! he’s afraid of hurting his friends with his powers and also he HATES mice. he’s TERRIFIED of them.

what are their guilty pleasures?

sometimes he splurges on expensive underwear that he doesn’t need but he thinks they make him look hot but then he never has the courage to wear them ahskshs. kenji found his stash once and made him do a full modelling show so he’s gotten better with them a bit now but most of the time they stay in his drawer never to see the light of day.

what was their dream job as a kid? is it still their dream? 

he wanted to be a cowboy, but he spent a summer in highschool helping out on a cattle ranch and decided that the life just wasn’t for him, mostly because he’s actually really bad at riding horses and struggled to get the hang of it. now his dream is to get into environmentalism, and he feels like he’s helping through working with grayson!

have they ever broken a bone?

he broke his arm in middle school but aside from that nope! no breakages.

have they ever been in trouble with the law?

aside from his brushes with authority while in his superhero persona... not really. he and grayson did almost get caught for underage drinking once at a frat party in college, but they jumped the fence into the neighbour’s yard and pretended to be watching the party get shut down instead

+ three other random facts about them!

ronan can play the piano! he has a sweet tooth and loves this little artisan bakery just down the road from his apartment block (their carrot cake specifically is to die for) andddd he’s a really strong swimmer! he was on the swim team for highschool and a lot of college!

ask me about my choices mcs!
