Fluff Headcanons - Spooky gaming with the genshin characters!

A/N: The fluff version of the Halloween special, and a bit of a new format. I hope you enjoy!

C/W: Modern AU, swearing, game-typical violence.

Alhaitham

This year, Alhaitham wanted something less conventional. Something that would really engage his mind with interesting commentary about society and the world at large, but still retain some of that spooky vibe. 

Cruelty Squad easily caught his attention with its assaulting graphics and interesting premise. It clearly begged for attention, and he was willing to humor it. 

It was precisely what he was looking for, and what an answer it was. Alhaitham had no trouble adjusting to a more corporate mindset.

Alhaitham: The super AI emerges from an extremely pornographic ultra hyper suck and fuck…

Kaveh: Um… What? What are you talking about?

Alhaitham: You don't understand, Kaveh. Everything that surrounds us? It's Gorbino's Quest. The Gorbino's Quest... of life.

Ganyu

The poor little cinnamon roll isn't that much of a horror fan. Violence and death generally unsettles her, but Ganyu still wants to feel some of that holiday spirit. 

After a lengthy deliberation, Ganyu chose Little Nightmares. The graphics are quite pleasing to the eye, it is horror, but not so horrible and violent. At least that's what she heard.

Ganyu: Oh, look! It's a Nome, right? And it's offering me food… How nice of it! Um�� Oh n-no! Why would you d-do that?!

Amber

The great outdoors with a horror theme? Count her in!

Amber made sure to avoid spoilers to have the full, unprecedented The Forest experience. The landscape is so serene and peaceful… The freedom of movement, the sounds of nature and the survival elements are so fun and relaxing!

True, there are some hostile people on the island, but they seem harmless enough.

Until the night falls…

Amber: Wait… What's that? That doesn't look human… Did it just birth out… Ew… Yikes! It's coming at me! 

Suffice to say, Amber stuck around until more or less the moment when you have to chop up bodies and make effigies out of the parts.

Beidou

Alcohol, hard rock and murdering demons with big guns is how Beidou plays on Halloween, so she'll gladly hop on Doom Eternal.

There's nothing better than impaling a snake demon's head with its own broken arm, right as the beat drops. 

Beidou: Life has enough undefeatable horrors. Let's just have some fun tonight!

Ningguang

The old ones are the good ones! Ningguang doesn't play a lot of video games, but she did like a few titles back in her younger days. 

On this special occasion, Ningguang got a box of her old possessions to dig through, and found the original Dungeon Keeper on CD. 

Everything is just as she remembered it was. 

Ningguang: Oh, these imps… They are the perfect workers, aren't they? They don't eat, sleep, need vacation, have a social life, and they work harder when you slap them. Ah, if only I had them as my subordinates…

Keqing: *narrows eyes*

Kokomi

Another fan of the retro side of games, Kokomi enjoys a good tactical challenge - developing the ability to conjure small scale plans is as important as improving the grand ones.

Her pick is Myth II: Soulblighter. It’s a brutal, unforgiving RTS with a distinctively dark atmosphere - just perfect for the season at hand.

Even when Halloween comes to a close, Kokomi will find it hard to drop the game. The insanity that is Legendary is quite addictive indeed…

Kokomi: You here… You here… And now the crescendo!

Game: “Move here move there…”

Game: “Catch!”

Game: *explosion*

Game: “Casualty.”

Kokomi: Oh. Change of plans, I guess…

Yae Miko

Upon hearing of the wonderful possibilities for tormenting the other party, Miko didn't hesitate to bring out the Mora for Dead By Daylight and all of its DLC. 

Though it was quite fun at first, the ugly nature of the game soon surfaced. As none of her friends were brave enough to delve into this swamp, she was forced to join up with random people, who frequently threw the games. 

Such a combination was enough to make even such an ancient and wise kitsune lose her absolute cool.

Ei: Why are you crouching behind that tree, Miko?

Miko: The killer has caught one of my teammates, and I will release them by ambushing them with a flashlight! 

Miko: Come on… Now! You didn't expect that, did y- What?? Lightborn?! Again?! Who even plays it nowadays?! Oh, you daft, blind motherf-

Ei: Miko!

Miko: Oh… Hm. Sorry. I got a little carried away. But that's sooo unfair, isn't it? Why would they add a perk that cancels a whole mechanic? I can't believeitthegameissokillersided…

Xiangling

Xiangling absolutely didn't look forward to Halloween, especially with Hu Tao around. She just can't take horror, at all, of any kind, ever. Especially jumpscares.

She still couldn't believe that she agreed to play a horror game, let alone one suggested by the director. The one and only Five Nights At Freddy's at that.

Much to Hu Tao's amusement, she didn't even make it past Night 1. Xiangling was thoroughly spooked, and after being jumpscared once she completely refused to keep playing. 

Seeing Xiangling so terrified made Guoba very upset, and Hu Tao quickly apologized to avoid being roasted by the angry god. 

Hu Tao: So he killed the kids, but then! Their souls escaped their robot prisons and made an old spring lock suit crush him to death! WoOoo~

Xiangling: Ah! Hu Tao! No more! 

Guoba: Nane na! Grr…

Hu Tao: Oh, don't fret little Guoba! I'm just joking!

Zhongli

Morax always had trouble catching up with the latest cultural and technological trends of the humans. Sure, he can use a computer more than well enough, but he finds third and first person video games confusing. The gameplay is most often too fast and rapidly changing for him to be up to speed with it, let alone enjoy it. 

Throughout all of his exponentially long life, nobody was as persistent in including him in the festivities as Hu Tao. She tried to convince Zhongli to play something horror-related, but he was assertive. So, the director decided to find a game that would suit his liking - an indie title. 

Her pick fell on Water Womb World - it's simple mechanically, is quite disturbing and has an interesting concept. 

Much to her surprise, Zhongli thoroughly enjoyed his fifteen minutes with the game, even if he didn't find it very scary.

Zhongli: Ah, I agree with the message of this title. The blind belief in deities can lead to fanaticism, which breeds regress rather than progress. I do think that a more healthy and critical approach to Rex Lapis' rule would be beneficial to our current day society. Especially that the age of gods draws to an end…

Hu Tao: Aiya! Do you have to turn everything into a lecture, Zhongli? You're not my grandpa, are you?

Hu Tao

An avid enjoyer of the spookfest, Hu Tao decided to pick something hitting closer to home this year - Mortuary Assistant.

The gameplay loop feels great! Just like in her line of work, just without the smell. She's having the time of her life preparing the corpse for burial. And hunting the demon. That's also quite cool!

Hu Tao: *hums while wheeling the corpse into the crematory* 

Game: "Are you sure?"

Hu Tao: Yup! I know your tricks more than well. Aiyaya, you could try something more interesting next round! Furnace time~

Game: *sounds of fire and demonic screaming*

Hu Tao: Toodle-oo~

Bennet, Noelle, Fischl, Razor

A few weeks before Halloween, Bennett mentioned a game night, since he couldn't be there in person. Noelle, diligent as ever, picked this up as a cue to start looking for something. 

Luckily for her, Phasmophobia was on a large and affordable discount, so after proposing the idea and organizing a money pool, they all got to proving the existence of ghosts.

Lisa lent Razor her personal computer for the night, on condition that she could take a little peek every now and then at their session without interrupting - and what an amusement it was, as none of them are especially acquainted with horror.

Noelle: "The ghost responds only to people who are alone." Somebody has to go in to talk to it… 

Razor: Razor won't go! Ghost scary!

Bennett: I would go, but with my luck, the ghost will eat me right away…

Fischl: Hmph! Although yes, I, Fischl, The Prinzessin Der Verurteilung and the founder of The Immernatchreich possess the courage to face demons and spawns of darkness alike, I…

Everyone: So you'll go then?

Amy: Um… N-no! You m-misunderstood!

Furina

The Great-And-Grand Archon of Fontaine played and saw every horror game and movie, and never once got scared. Or that's what she claims, at least.

That's why Focalors decided to prove her excellence with a true, dark challenge she could easily overcome, thus proving her gaming capabilities for all to see!

In hindsight, Darkest Dungeon wasn't the best of choices she could have made… It did amuse Monsieur Neuvilette, however. 

Neuvillette: I think you should retreat. Your heroes are close to dying. 

Furina: I appreciate your advice, my dear Iudex, but your worries are misplaced! My Crusader will deal a critical hit, thus ending the pig-man's miserable opposition, and granting us treasure galore! Watch and marvel at my skill!

Game: "A singular strike!"

Furina: Ahaha, see? I told you it would be fine~ Wait… It's not dead yet…?

Game: "Mortality - clarified in a single strike!"

Furina: Um…

Game: "There can be no hope in this hell, no hope at all…"

Game: "And now the true test - hold fast, or expire."

Game: "Those who cover injury find it in no short supply."

Game: "As life ebbs, terrible vistas of emptiness reveal themselves."

Furina: Ret- T-tactical withdrawal! 

Game: "Cornered, trapped, forced to fight on!"

Game: "This is no place for the weak, or the foolhardy."

Game: "More blood soaks the soil, feeding the evil therein."

Game: "Perched at the very precipice of oblivion."

Game: "More dust, more ashes, more disappointment."

Game: "Another life wasted in the pursuit of glory and gold."

Game: "Wounds to be tended. Lessons to be learned."

Neuvillette: Lady Furina, if only you had-

Furina: Silence.

Shenhe

Shenhe never gets scared. The most terrible of monsters or existential terrors are no match for her training and resolve, no matter how unexpected they might be. She might not get scared, but she can get startled, right?

Who else would pose that question but Hu Tao, the mistress of horrors herself? It was always her objective to get some sort of reaction out of the adepti disciple, no matter how insignificant and small it might be. Many things were attempted - scary movies, troubling situations, body horror, cosmic horror, existential horror… But none of them ever worked. Shenhe remained stalwart.

Out of desperation, Hu Tao was forced to reach for the ultimate weapon. The bane of those unprepared. The myth. The legend. The game.

The Scary Maze Game. 

After plugging in an old spare monitor, she invited Shenhe to “test her precision”, and stepped a few safe meters back. 

The monitor ended up skewered with her polearm, but Shenhe did yelp - much to her delight. 

Not all was fun and games though, as Hu Tao got the mother of all lectures from Cloud Retainer. Something about Shenhe’s red ropes breaking, but the director didn’t pay much attention, and just nodded along.

Hu Tao: Heya, Shenhe… You don’t mind the little scare I gave you back on Halloween night, do you…?

Shenhe: Oh? Well, as much as I was upset during the moment, I must admit it was quite… cathartic. I never experienced anything like that. I do not hold any grudge towards you. Actually… Thank you for that, director Hu Tao.

Hu Tao: Phew! And I was here thinking I’ll share the fate of that display!

🎃Happy Halloween!🎃

[tf2heritageposts]

There is: (i got too excited and it's a bit long sorry)

What kind of brazillian foods/drinks the mercs would like the most

Scout:

He would love any kinds of street foods, his favorite ones would be coxinha, a fried snack stuffed with chicken; Hot dogs in the São Paulo way, they usually have mashed potatoes, corn, peas and shoestring potatoes above (with ketchup and mustard, of course) and pastel, a fried dough (the texture is similar to a puff pastry) that can have many kinds of fillings, the most usual one is mozzarella cheese. He also would love eat this while drink sugarcane juice (it's a classical combo).

Soldier:

This one is funny, bc in my head all the other mercs had to lie to him that they were getting 100% american food so he could at least try some, and he keep eating it without knowing the thruth. His favorite ones would also be ones of the most iconical ones, by irony of the destiny, such as feijoada and pão de queijo. He would also love farofa (is made either with corn or cassava, braised with oil and can have diverses other igredients too) but since Soldier is build diferently, insted of eating it as a side dish he just cook a huge ass pan of farofa and eat all of it with a spoon.

Pyro:

He would love brigadeiro, because is sweet as him (awwn). He would love churrasco (brazilian barbecue), so much that he, engineer and sniper would be the ultimate churrasqueiros of the team (however only engineer and sniper are alowed to touch on the grill since the incident). From the many things that can be made in a churrasco, Pyro likes garlic bread the most (because it gets burned at outisde really quickly but still ok to eat). The last thing from his list would be cuscuz paulista, recipe that blend corn flour and many other igredients, and that people from other brazilian states keep saying its ugly but THATS UNTRUE YALL JUST DONT KNOW HOW TO MAKE IT - me, a sad paulistana.

Engineer:

As said before, he would love churrasco, and any kind of red meat should be his favorite (picanha, striploin…). He would also like the local beer options and condensed milk pudding (pudim). No special rasion on the last one (besides giving all the mercs at least 3 itens).

Demoman:

He would LOVE drinking cachaça (alchoolic drink made with sugarcane) and caipirinha as well (drink made with cachaça, lime, sugar and ice). For eat, his favorite food should be torresmo (pork skin with fat cut into small pieces and fried until crispy), that is also a good side dish in brazilian bar's.

Heavy:

His first favorite option would be estrogonofe, wich is actually a brazilian version of a russian recipe (stroganoff), with some alterations. He would also enjoy virado à paulista (plate composed of a beans and cassava flour mix, together with pork chop, tuscan sausage, fried egg, braised cabbage and a piece of breaded banana), it's a really big meal to a really big guy. Finally, he would go for "caipiroska" for drinking, with is a caipirinha variation but with vodka in the place of cachaça (wich i didn't know existed until i started writing this kkkkkk)

Medic:

Cuca de banana (a cake with bananas and a sugar & cinnamon on top) would be one of his favorite desserts (it also has a germanic origin i also didn't knew kkkkkk). He also would like specific foods from Bahia, such as Acarajé (dumpling made from black-eyed pea dough, onion and salt, and fried in palm oil, can be stuffed with shrimp or other options of filling) and cocada (candy made with coconut), but I can't specify why yet bc it envolves a headcanon/AU i'm still making and i want it to be a silly surprise, i'll edit here once it's done.

Sniper:

The last one of the ultimate churrasqueiros, his favorite item would be chiken's hearts. Aparently pumpkings are very used in australian culinary, so i like to imagine he would also like doce de abobora (dessert made with pumpking). Finally, i guess tapioca (cassava gum, can be fried like a pancake and stuffed to taste, among other uses) just suits him idk.

Spy:

He would love Carolina (looks like a éclair, but is smaller, rounder, and filled with dulce de leche) and sonho (fried dough, usualy filled with vanilla cream and with sprinkled sugar above. The name of this recipe translate to "dream" in a literal form btw kkkkk). Ending this list, Spy would enjoy queijo com goiabada (a slice of minas cheese thogeter with a slice of guava paste).

Thank you for reading until here, and sorry if i made you fell hungry hihihi

holy shit this is so good

also i want carolina that looks so good

i also want the sugarcane drinks, please god i’ll do anything

MY CHARACTERS — THEN AND NOW

hopping onto the hype train and doing this too since this is a rather chill thing to do than having to think intensely about lore. But since I'm always so bad at deciding just for two pics, I'm going to make it three — but Vijay gets the ps4 bonus since his origin is from console. So lets start this!

VIJAY STEYR

Vijay got the privilege to be my first V and he exists since end of 2020 but I didn't take any pics until 2021 of him. Back then I loved taking pics on my ps4 but I hated it so so so so much you weren't able to turn it into 90° — it was a pain for me to tae portait pics. Bc of the crisis back then I somehow stopped playing games (+ consuming social media for nearly 2 years) so, PS4 Vijay never made it trough the game. I started with him dark blonde but changed him to be a ginger when I picked him up again in June 2022 and found my way back to fandom so I wanted to post my boy.

vijay_first_shot_JAN17_2021_PS4pro.file vijay_second_shot_AUG04_2022_PS4pro.file vijay_most_recent_shot_AUG08_2022_PS4pro.file

He got warmly accepted even though he was just a smudgy PS4 cinnamon roll, but I was frustrated he couldn't have clothes I wanted him to have (fishnet shirt, my beloved), so I bought myself a gaming laptop real quick and recreated him exactly as he was on PS4 but added a few things as soon as I knew how to use mods and amm (took me about two weeks bc I learn fast) that disturbed me (red nose), so I gave him better skin and all the clothes he should have. Now he's got a new hairstyle too but aside of that didn't change.

RYDER VON SCHARFENBERG

My most precious boy had the privilege to get built with pc version already, otherwise he would have looked totally different. Like V, Ryder didn't change much afterwards. You only spot details I exchanged and these are minor. He got another skin tone, his nails are now pointy and he's got sharp teeth, thats it. When I create a character I'm not gonna change them afterwards. If they are not perfect right from the start, I won't create them. And visually Ryder was a perfect creation right from the start — he embodies my favorite style — but I'm honest, I had mixed feelings about him at first. The way he looked at me through the screen told me that he's a difficult one. Didn't know if I'd like him and if he's only to stay a side character or not, just the ex-boyfriend. But it took a journey I never thought I was able to produce for him. And somewhere along the process I fell in endless love with him — not even a full year has passed since his creation.

THYJS DE WIT

Okay listen, I did take pics of him right after I created him but I was not satisfied with the 'scars' on his face, the lip make up and he also had dark grey hair and the vanilla hair (I use for Jay now) at first but it was too dark, so I changed it immediately afterwards. I know some people seeing this first on the left now might scream "ooooh but he looked badass!" — I get that, but this look was drifting off way too much into the direction where Ryder is (and like I said - my fav style) but I wanted a soldier with albinism and not a second guy who would be falsely misinterpreted as another cyber goth guy like it happened with Ryder. So I gave him the silver hair and style and changed the lips to pale rosé, took another shot saw the scars needed to be different as well and now Thyjs looks like he is now. It's funny what only hair and lip color can make for a difference. I doubt I'll ever change something on him either except for a different hairstyle maybe. I thought about trying out the new KS Atlas body on him though but if the tummy cyberware doesn't work with it this will not change.

JAYSEN STEYR

had the luck I was already fluent in everything vp after warming up, so there's not a single change to see except I started using raytracing shortly after I created him. He's basically a copy of Vijay and got everything I'd have wanted Vijay to be in the first place, but went a different way I didn't wanna change. I did not create Jay because of that, though, Jay came to be because of story plotting. he won't change either, except his tattoos one day (not the glowing things).

jaysen_first_shot_MAR26_2023_RB17.file thyjs_second_shot_APR30_2023_RB17.file jaysen_most_recent_shot_JUL09_2023_RB17.file

—

so the result of this for me personally when I look at the quality changes is I just had to warm up with using windows things (as I'm an apple user due to my job), get fond of amm, poses, using light and push the ray tracing button to get to the level I'm now. that why my quality got so good so fast. Just needed to get into virtual photography is all. Maybe I got better at sth but I do not notice it and I honestly do not care, I just do what I like still not holding much of myself and my art. Its a hobby that keeps me busy.

But I'm also glad my oc's didn't change much, only right after their creation I changed something bc pics showed me it was not what I pictured. And the rest is only minor cosmetic changes. So I think I always go in with a preceise concept, a plan I have made before I start the cc. I remember I scanned entire nexus mods 2 days before creating Ryder, picking out everything I could imagine, even his wardrobe, then built an imagine in my head and only started once my imagination was ready.

[sagescented]

I watched Anti-Chef's French Toast video a few days back, and got a hankering for French Toast. I don't eat it very often, but when I want it ... Ooooh. The craving is all consuming.

Finally got an opportunity to make it for myself this morning. I was going to teach my Husband how to make it, since he doesn't know. But he backed out since he doesn't care for it too much himself, and I don't ask for it often enough for it to be reasonable to learn how to make it for me. Valid. So I decided that since I didn't have to teach him anymore, I was going to experiment by making the Martha Stuart version that Jamie makes in the video.

I've never tried deep frying French Toast before, never had deep fried French Toast before, and it did look really good.

I kept the crusts on. Didn't use the compound butter she instructs for (just did butter and syrup over as usual). And I flavored the batter with butter extract and almond extract, Cardamom, and Cinnamon. Plus a little Powdered Sugar over the top, and some extra Cinnamon sprinkle ... And boy was I right for it. It was so good; nice and fluffy, but crunchy at the same time.

I can understand why she cuts the crusts off in the original, though. They were a lot harder to cut through than they'd've been if I hadn't kept the crust on. But it's not worth it to waste the crust to me; so what, I have to use a butterknife, ha.

I don't think I'm ever going to be able to eat French Toast the normal way again after this, ha. I may have utterly ruined it for myself.

[practically-an-x-man]

Ask game for Peter Parker and Rick Flag? :)

Oooh thank you!

Send Me a Character and I'll Give You...

You didn't specify which Peter Parker (and I am NOT going through all of them, no offense) so I'll go with Andrew Garfield's since I like his version best

Peter

1: sexuality headcanon - oh so bi. the most bi. nobody on the planet earth is more bisexual 2: otp - HIM AND GWEN. One of my favorite fictional couples of all time. 3: brotp - Him and the other Peters in No Way Home. They had such a wonderful brotherly dynamic 4: notp - Him and Tobey Maguire's Peter. It started cropping up after No Way Home and it just... no. It's a little weird to begin with, and they act more like friends or brothers in the movie anyway 5: first headcanon that pops into my head - Knows a few Yiddish swears - Ben would swear in Yiddish instead of English when he was a kid, trying to keep him from picking it up, but he picked it up anyway 6: favorite line from this character - Not a line so much as a moment but in AS-M2 when he's about to go fight Electro and he literally webs Gwen to the car and shouts "I'm sorry! I love you!" as he's running away. It's too cute! 7: one way in which I relate to this character - I feel like the way he talks is relatable to me. I too ping-pong wildly between coming off as very witty or just being an awkward stammering mess when I'm caught off-guard 8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character - For some reason, the "we have no chimney" scene. It's funny but always gives me a little twinge of secondhand embarrassment too 9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave? - CINNAMON ROLL

Rick

1: sexuality headcanon - bi/pan but would only really process it after Harley randomly calls him out on it 2: otp - uhh... does it count if I say Eris? Their chaotic relationship is just so much fun 3: brotp - I LOVE his friendship with Harley (I see a lot of fics with them as romantic partners but I like them so much better as friends) 4: notp - him and Peacemaker. Saw it on AO3 a while back and was just like... why? No shade to those that do enjoy it, I just don't get it 5: first headcanon that pops into my head - Cannot sleep in. It's a remnant from his military days, but the latest he can ever make himself sleep when he's not sick or injured is about 8:30 AM, and that's pushing it. Most days he's up and moving by dawn, even if he has nothing to get up for. 6: favorite line from this character - Anything from the scene on the rooftop when they're debriefing Thinker. It's just such a fun scene, such a good blend of focus and chaos. Or just anything where he's interacting with Harley. 7: one way in which I relate to this character - Big dog energy (looking scary at a glance but being really friendly once you get to know me) 8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character - they did him dirty with that death scene, that's all I'll say 9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave? - Originally a problematic fave, but they fixed his character SO much with the 2021 Suicide Squad and now he's a cinnamon roll

[nazmazh]

So, saw a Reddit thread asking about what sort of alternate characters/costumes/looks you'd really, really want for Dead by Daylight, and me, being the nerd I am want so many Remedy-Verse characters (generally would be alternates for Alan unless, like Jesse Faden were to be brought in as a character in her own right, which is pretty unlikely).

And of course, that includes Odin and Tor Anderson. Give Bill Overbeck some company in the Cool Old Geezer category.

And I got to thinking - Those two probably would fucking love being in The Entity's Realm. They'd treat it like some sort of Valhalla - Have fun being able to run basically forever and have a task to work on. And, sure, they can't really do anything to hurt the killers, that wouldn't stop them from trying periodically - Just to see if it might work this time, but if it still doesn't, they'd happily embrace a warrior's death, over and over, protection their teammates and hopefully buying them time to win.

Not "escape" - They know that's not actually truly possible (at least, most likely not). Their True Sight abilities mean that The Entity isn't able to wipe their memories or confuse them about how long they've been there (Or the fact that they really actually don't need to eat or drink in the Realm anyway).

Like I say though - Even knowing all this - They'd probably view the Realm as some sort of afterlife anyway, and there's certainly worse fates than being trapped in The Entity's sadistic games - Really.

Especially knowing that despite however much it might hurt, they're not truly going to die, just respawn, I feel like they'd pretty enthusiastically play the games - Feeling especially satisfied when they do put one over on killers and escape/win the match.

They'd also probably be mouthy towards literally every killer (and a good deal of the survivors too, but those would be more teasing/joking around). Like, the Statler and Waldorf of the Realm.

"Bro, I'm gonna level with you - I think there might be something wrong with your stash. The sickly orange glow is probably a bad sign for most drugs"

"Ooh... Scary clown! Bah! I've opened for clowns scarier than you! You know what's really terrifying? Being stuck in a green room with Gene Simmons when he's trying to give you business advice!"

"Oh no. A teenager with a knife. So original. Oh, you've got a hood and a mask too? Well now, that's really scary. And definitely innovative."

"You know miss, I don't think I've ever seen you actually sell anyone a skull. Do you have any for purchase? No, really, I want to help you with that whole 'Merchant' thing. Otherwise, it's just silly, isn't it?"

"Ma'am, I'm gonna suggest that you should avoid whatever you've been eating. It sucks, I know. I can't eat anything with cinnamon after supper anymore without needing a whole bottle of antacids. Maybe the entity will do you a favour a pull in some of that bismuth stuff from somewhere?"

"Oh, you wanna be all big and scary? I can roar like a madman too! If I had my hammer I'd show you how an Aesir deals with giants and trolls."

"I gotta say, Bro, you oughta get a refund on those shades. They don't seem to do shit for you!" (*Blinds Wesker with a flashlight*)

"Am I supposed to be scared of you? Bro, you're the failed reboot version of yourself! They didn't even find you worthwhile enough to keep making *more* new sequels with! I'm pretty sure I've only ever seen 'real' Michael Myerses and Leatherfaces kicking around. None of that Rob Zombie remake one, or any of the 10,000 attempts at making a new Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie. So, what's your excuse, New Coke? Is The Entity just waiting to give us Freddy Classic as some sort of marketing gimmick?"

[I cannot stress enough that while they'd be saying stuff like this while cleverly dodging out of the way, or pallet stunning and whatnot. They'd absolutely be spouting this stuff while actively dying]

Homebound AU

Hi there, welcome to my silly lil Welcome Home AU! It's a pretty simple little au, but it's one I've had a lot of fun with.

Essentially the idea is: what if Home & Wally were actually the same character? After another neighbor moves out of Home it gets the brilliant idea to make a neighbor to be it's resident. Something as we know from Frankenstein is a pro gamer move with no consequences!

...I'm lying of course it had consequences and those were it accidentally trapped itself in the body it made from the rug. Eventually they figure out how to switch between the two but it takes a moment bc the bodies are fundamentally different. I made a lil edit below the read more of em (the pic was bigger than I realized)!

Home!Wally fun facts:

Home!Wally's pronouns are he/they/it

This Wally didn't originally have anything on it's shoes - he saw how Barnaby's paws would leave lil hearts as he walked and rlly liked that so one night he added the apples so he'd leave his favorite thing (besides the neighbors of course!) everywhere it went

This Wally loves apples not only bc they were some of the 1st things he ever got from the neighbors, but they also come in a lot of the colors it does. A lot of the books he's bought from Howdy are about orchards or different apple types

His ribbon is actually originally part of the rug it made this body out of, he added the strings of beads later with each color representing one of it's neighbors.

All the colors besides his skin tone comes color picked from Home, the skin tone was taken from the main Wally drawing on the website

Wally often talks to himself, a trait from when it'd spend months without anyone staying with it

While they stay in the Wally body often, if they aren't feeling up to interacting or just want a quiet day they'll stay in it's Home form

They love music because it makes them think of their neighbors! A lot of the records in their living room were ones left behind by the others, and they'll play them and sing along while making something for whatever neighbor left that record behind.

Home!Wally sometimes uses mobility aids like canes, especially near the start of having their Wally body since moving was hard for him. 

Despite their flower accessories Wally actually has pretty bad hay fever. It was a common joke that Barnaby's fake water gun flowers could even cause his hay fever to act up 

They have a pretty large catalog of potpourri recipes in their head. No it absolutely doesn't help their hay fever - especially when they add things like cinnamon. Yes they'll still make them in spite of this fact because they smell nice!

They like reading books in both forms! Sometimes they get worried about how little they know about things, but luckily the Bodega has a lot of books for sale. As home they push the pages with their drapes

They're not very good with art, but they try their best. He instead opens episodes with books connected to whoever's teaching the lesson they're learning (ex. a book about Shakespeare when he'll be going to Sally or a book about beetles or another insect when visiting Frank). Each friend has their own shelf of books!

That's all I have for now! I do have a fanfic written for it, but I need to finish editing it so it'll go up tonight. Thank ya for reading: have a boi.

Special thanks to @kindestegg for drawing this silly lil version of my boi!

Here's the edit because I didn't realize how big it was before making this post:

Hazbinrune AU: Chara Wants To Keep Vark...(2024)

-------

[Note: I plan to use this drawing as Cover for a Future Chapter over at Quotev, so it will be for both here and over there. also just in case some of the words that Chara and Toriel are saying are a bit hard to read, please make sure to click on the drawing to make it bigger. ]

Credit for Hazbin Hotel & Helluva Boss goes to Vivienne “Vivziepop” Medrano

Credit for Undertale goes to Toby Fox

-----------------------

[Note-2: in case some might not be able to read the very small letters still, here is what Toriel is saying after telling Chara "No" about keeping Vark…" *sigh* Fine, we may keep him…at least for now, but if someone comes looking for him, we must return him. I can see you love this…Vark, but you must not put up a fight when he must go back to his family.".........I had to edit this in, in case that might be a bit too small even if the drawing is made bigger by clicking on it. but I hope some can still read those words even if they are a bit smaller than the other words that Toriel and Chara were saying to each other in this drawing.]

Chara's Sinner form is a little deer, and Toriel's Sinner form is a mix of what she originally looked like when she was alive, but also one of those demons that look like a goats with a candle on their head.

oh right, they are called Baphomet,

this would be a Bapho-Toriel, so yeah her Sinner form is a Baphomet which would be linked to why she ends up being a mix of her original goat form but a Baphomet version of it.

like depending on what forms Toriel, Asgore, Undyne, Alphys and Mettaton takes when they end up in Hell in a Crossover AU that has Undertale, Deltarune, Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss in it...

their forms will be a mix of their original forms, but also be a hybrid version that will be a mix of what type of sin they had in their life when they were just mortal monsters living on Earth.

and it would be likely that both Asgore and Toriel would become Sinner Baphomets.

and the reasons why Asgore, Toriel, Undyne, Alphys and Mettaton would end up be in Hell after the whole Geno Route...

might have to do with the Human Children, while in a True Pacifist Ending, those Human Children may have come back to life, because after Frisk wakes up after saving everyone from Asriel, you can go back to the basement and see that the coffins are all open.

meaning that the human souls went back into the bodies after the barrier was broken.

and if most monsters didn't end up trapped in the underground, then some of them could of married some humans much later on, and well zinged with humans if we think of it like Hotel Transylvania.

and some who were originally born human but have a human & monster parent, might go through some changes like how Dennis does in Hotel Transylvania 2.

Mettaton might end up becoming a hybrid version of his robot body, and a Incubus, having to do with his love and lust to be famous, like it being a mix of both a positive and negative.

Undyne wouldn't look much different from when she was alive, but her Sinner form will have her good eye have those swirls like what Chaz and Striker has, and she will end up having a shark tail in her Sinner Demon form.

still being a mix of her original form of course.

Alphys would likely not look all that different, still looking the same but she would still get a hybrid version of her original form on how she looked when she was alive, that will be translated into her Sinner Demon form.

Papyrus would of originally been send to Heaven, but chose to go and be where Sans is...

Papyrus never really kills the Player or Frisk in the game, he only damages them and the Player enough where we can no longer fight and sends us to the Shed.

Papyrus is a precious cinnamon roll who is too pure for both this world as well as Heaven and Hell, he must be protected.

I don't think Valentino's powers could work on Papyrus.

and even if Angel did hit on Papyrus, he would give off that adorkablee sweet cinnamon roll side...

so there is the Cinnamon Rolls Papyrus and Niffty, one that might seem dangerous but is really adorkable sweetheart, and another one is a cinnamon roll that would match the song "Crazy Chicks" by Ken Ashcorp. I like that song. :)

so yeah, Niffty does seem to match the song "Crazy Chicks"...

I'm still going to Fam her with Angel, and possibly Husk.

yeah him being protective her and how he made Husk look after her, makes me view Angel being like a Dad to Niffty, and to me, he still looked like he was being a bit like Helicopter Dad.

in a Poly-Ship that is also a Crossover, that is Blitzhusk with Angel Dust....they would be like Niffty's Three Dads.

Blitzwing from TFA acting like a Helicopter Dad to Niffty as well, would be interesting in a Crossover.

and yeah using the words "I Fam It" when it comes to Angel & Niffty, is better to use so it doesn't get confused for the whole romantic ships, which is why you never use "I ship it" on non-romantic ships or even call it a ship, it should still be a unspoken rule and should only be pointed out some times.

if Blitzwing, Angel and Husk did end up in a Poly-Ship together, even if Angel might stay in the Friend Zone and a Poly-Ship might not really happen...

the ship names for them would still be Blitzhusk, but also adding Huskdust but also the ship name of Blitzwing x Angel with their Poly-Ship name...

like Blitzdust along with whatever poly-ship name that might fit.

not sure if Angelblitzhusk would fit....maybe Dustblitzhusk

or maybe Angeblitzhusk...? or just let it be just their current ship names for now, which would be Blitzhusk, Huskdust and Blitzdust.

if Sari could tease Angel along with the help of Molly and Cherri, they would sing a parody version of "I wont say I'm in love"...

with Sari singing the part "who ya think your kidding, he's the Earth and the Well Of All Sparks to you." XD

I think I and some fans will possibly freak out if it turns out Huskdust is gonna be canon in the future, they do seem to be doing better and it's good that in the show, that Huskdust is starting out in the friend zone and being platonic and can work up at some point to romantic.

and yeah as weird as it might sound, the different ways Valentino speaks in the episode where Vox finds out that Alastor had returned after being gone for 7 years, makes me wonder if Valentino has a bit of a split personality.

and well if they do have pills to deal with split personalities, even for the semi type ones, Val could of stop taking his at some point.

we get like possibly three different sides of Val that is shown, and for all we know if it were true, the ones who knows about him having split personalities would be Vox and Velvette.

I mean I can't be the only one who notice how his accent seem to change in that one episode, which made that weird idea pop into my head, that he might have a slight split personality, and there being like more than just two, but one of them is the most dominant.

and well I think normally, one's accent changing between one and the other, wouldn't have to do with a split personality, but when it comes to Valentino, I can't help but wonder if he might actually have split personalities.

one being Jealous and Aggravated Val, the other being Sweet and Loving Val, and the other being Sassy but Harsh Val.

I guess each side of him could go by "Jealous-Val", "Sweet-Val" and "Harsh-Val"...

and well if it did turn out to be true, his eyes could change color depending on what personality comes out, which is of course I remember I had used that idea before, and well there was a friend who I think ended up using the same but for different ideas, but I think the whole different split personalities being used and shown through the different color of eyes, can be a multi-fan use thing and being for different ideas for anyone and it depends on what type and how many split personalities there are.

the color change to Val's eyes wouldn't be notice, because he wears his glasses that also possibly keep him from going crazy when in front of bright light...

like normal and dominate Val, will have his normal eye color, while his other personalities will have Jealous-Val's eyes go Green, Sweet-Val's eyes going into a type of Light Pink and well Harsh-Val could have the same color eyes as Val when he is in his dominate personality.

if Toriel had to troll Valentino, it should be with that song

"Does Your Mama Know?" that was in that first Mamma Mia Movie.

and her Sinner Demon form (which is a hybrid form of her original form) has a candle and fire, so Valentino would be the Moth to the flame that is Toriel.

I think it be funny if Chara could get Vark to keep Valentino from flirting with Toriel, even if Toriel can handle herself.

if Alphys did have a type of hybrid Sinner Demon form that is a mix with what she looked like when she was alive, she could end up having Imp horns, and maybe succubus wings and her tail mostly staying the same but with that spade shape at the end.

in a Crossover with Hazbin Hotel, Helluva Boss, Undertale and Deltarune...

when a Monster dies and does end up in the afterlife, they will be a hybrid version of their monster form where they will either be a Winner Angel or a Sinnner Demon.

and seeing as some of the Monsters (but not all of them) in Undertale are hypocrites when trying to take human children's souls...

they will end up in Pentagram City when Frisk goes down the Geno Route and in theory after they do so, the red soul could end up being taken by Chara and transmigrated to Deltarune's World.

and it could be possible some Sinner forms, would be because of a relation to a parent, so Chara's form being a Deer was because of them supposing to be the child of Alastor.

but the idea I have, he doesn't know and well I can try to work on the idea more when I can.

I hope I can work more on that magic spell I'm working on, maybe I can wait a few hours or so to work more on it.

and I wish I had posted this and the other drawings up much sooner around which would be yesterday now...

but when I went to lay down and ended up going to sleep, I didn't wake back up until around 10 Pm.

but yeah, I will try to get to the whole working on that magic spell when I can, and maybe I can try to write a healing and protection spell when I'm able to...

yeah I'm a Weird Earth Angel Princess, but I wouldn't be me if I didn't have my weird side, and it might be good that I'm not 100% like Other Earth Angels. plus my weird side would be their for me even at times when I feel not great, and have those days when I'm feeling down.

and if I want to try to make a spell that let's me take a type of vacation...that is my choice, even if it will need me to sleep, and well if it works how I want it to, the world I go to, using my Astral-Dream Body...

the time there should only have 9 months pass while in this world, it would only be 3 hours. that is what I want the spell to be program with and it is gonna be a very long spell I think...and there is still some stuff that needs to be added in.

Charlie and Emily standing up to those Eon-Boomers, would make me want to play The Song "That's My Girl" by Fifth Harmony.

and if it weren't for the fact I still believe there were other humans that came before Adam, which would of got the version from the Hazbin Hotel, off his high horse if he found this out...

Adam from Hazbin Hotel, would be technically a Eon-Boomer as well.

and if that version of Adam was real, I would want to punch him really hard in the arm in that court room.

and if he asks what that was for, I would simply say this...

"That is for being a Terrible Dad To Grunkle-Grandpa Cain."

Peepaw Adam should get a strong punch to the arm, as well as the cold hands to face punishment, it is of the will of the Embodiment of Weirdness. XD

I still want to give the Adam from our universe the cold hands to face punishment, and that goes for the Lucifer from our universe as well.

so help me if the Lucifer from Hazbin Hotel turns out to be Cain's Bio-Dad, which would end up making Cain the Older Half-Brother of Charlie.....I'm so gonna tease Charlie's Dad in the next fan-art where not only I will call him by that nickname "Adorkable Apple Goober"

but I will also add the word "Peepaw" which would make him "Adorkable Apple Goober Peepaw"...

but like in this universe no matter which Angel who is suppose to be Cain's Bio-Dad, the Adam from our universe would still be considered his real father even if not by blood, but doesn't mean he doesn't show how much of a Gray-Parent he was and both he and Eve had those moments they were kind of bad at parenting both Cain and Abel.

and plus no matter if it is Lucifer or even Samael, they ain't the boss of me.

get ready for the Feminine Revolution where some Earth Angels try to heal and protect this world when the Masculine Angels cross a line and go too far.

of course talking about a Feminine Revolution, made me want to listen to the RWBY song called "This Will Be The Day"

of course the whole Feminine Revolution, should be handled a bit more civilized, and not make the same mistakes as some Eon-Boomers. and I ain't gonna make other Earth Angels be a part of it.

if I have to go all solo on this with well, trying to pray to both the Heavenly Father and Earthly Mother for the Toxic-Masculine and even the Toxic-Feminine Energy not to get any stronger and for the Earth and the Feminine energy to heal properly, then I will do my best. but maybe with luck there will still be some other Earth Angels who will do the same, regardless if they read this or not...

and one of the problems that comes with Toxic-Masculine energies, shows in some Toxic-Religious people, like that guy that peeved me off and who I had talked about before which would be yesterday now.

after listening to the RWBY song "This Will Be The Day",

I decided to listen to "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" by Agnes, and I plan to listen to "Release Me" by Agnes as well.

it matches how I feel, how I want the Masculine energy to stop breaking my heart and for it to release me when it gets Toxic, well the Toxic-Feminine is still bad but like I said a few times or many times, it isn't as high or as dangerous as it's Masculine counterpart that has been around for centuries.

and Lucifer picked a bad time to do his little rebellion when that should of been fixed and tended to properly.

that is one of the reasons I want to give him the cold hands to face punishment, I mean if it were possible...

I don't care if it turns out he is taller than me, I would try to stand on my tip-toes to reach his face and put my hands on each side of his face, but only if my hands are cold.

anyway, besides that stuff...I can also believe there is life on other planets and there could be other life forms, like for all we know it could be possible that the species from the Halo and Mass Effect Game Series, it could be possible.

and anyway I will be posting a fan theory about who I believe is Grim Jr.'s Dad is from the Comic series called Grim Tales From Down Below, which is obvious for a mature audience only.

ya know, maybe it be a good idea to have the rating for Yandere Simulator be 18+, even if it wouldn't have certain mature elements in it....but maybe it could help a lot if those under 17, don't play it.

and well, maybe I can talk about my reasons on hoping the rating for the game be 18+, maybe either later today or maybe another time.

I will talk about the Grim Tales Theory about Grim Jr.'s Dad maybe in a little while, maybe after checking out some fan art and maybe grabbing something to snack on.

anyway if some want to draw Toriel in her Sinner form, that is in this drawing, they can, but make sure to give me credit...I'm saying this in case some like this AU version of Toriel, but the chances of some liking it enough to want to draw it, is probably very slim.

anyway I'm going to go and check out some more fan art and other stuff on here, and well then later I will post that theory that has to do with Grim Jr.

and I hope some like the idea about Chara wanting to adopt Vark as their pet, the idea just seems to fit for a Crossover AU even if it is not canon and it would be in a Fanon Timeline only. :)

Cinnamon-Swirl

-She generally thought that the clan needed to change, she saw the grip of starclan upon the clan, where they could barely make their own choices, where they best common sense on what starclan think. She had formed a group to fight, to break down the strength statclan had against the clan. Sadly, during one of their protest, a monster drove off the road. Lucky, her group was able to survive without her.

OwlStar

-His whole world shattered upon their death s. His kitten, warriors who should of had all the time in the world, layed at his paws, dead from the fire that had consumed their camp. He practically begged starclan to save them, but thoses crys went uncalled. But that night, a molly visited him in his sleep, stating that she new a way that could bring them back. She told him to get their corpses and place it under the moonlight, say a certain set of words to each, and that by morning lights, they would be back. He followed her words, and by morning light, he watch them return. He was filled with joy, till he realized that somet was different. His kits had a similar behavior to when they were alive, but had been warped to be darker versions of themselves. He watch as them, eyes filled with horror, as they charged at him.

PaleStar

-He promised, that as long as the cats stayed loyal to him; HollowClan would never fall. His clan seemed to grow quickly, going from a simple clan to town worth, cats coming from all around the forest to join him, but then the infection started. It was small at first, with only a few cats, but quickly turned into a pandemic. He tried to stop it, from training his kits to be infection fighter, to having a kit with a famous power ful rouge leader just to get her clan help. As the month went on, with infection rising and falling, loosing his clansmate and his love, with only 3 of his kit alive, he fled. He waited until the infection was low, and left the clan he had held so dear.

MothStar

-She was once the powerful ruler of mothclan, ruling with dignity and power, that is, till he came. A pale tom enter the forest, using his wisdom and pride to form a new clan, HollowClan. Even though she was their leader, their mother, most of her children decided to abandon her, to forget their clan and to forget their mother. She refused to let this go by, if they weren't going to be loyal though choice, then force will do. She found some prey, infected with something that would ravage the minds, weak or strong, then would give it to rouge, playing it as her simply giving them prey. She watch as they went rabid, attacking any thing that dared get close. Even though pale tried, even using his kits, he could not save his clan. Moth felt only pride, watching as the clans fall, till one of pale kits found her, one who would not fall in taking her out.

CalmStar

-Daughter of the past leader, Clam-star was originally born to aid in the testing that would allow her shadowclan to rise above the other clan, but after his death, she claimed the right of leader. Still, she continues testing her clanmates, seeing what was their limits, even when said limits was their lives. After afew death, it was coldsong time, but the shecat had different ideas. Even though cold was passing, calm wasn't exactly thrilled. During the final trial, calm decided to fight cold, only for the molly to trick calm into following her into a rockslide. Coldsong passed her final test.

Devil

-Devil was the king of the Ink valley, and made sure that all the cats around him, from his pawns to rouges knew. Even though he Rules with an iron fist, he doesn't mind helping thoses who come to him, for a price of course. Get rid of a cat? Help win an lover? He'll help, but after, he wants your blood. Even though it was simply payment for his aid, afew cats decided they didn't want to pay their debts, by either refusing to return/escape. Even though he sent cats to get them, they would always come empty pawed. As he waited, his second in comande, Dice, called him over. Two cocky brother, red and bluepaw, was challenging some of his members to a rock throw, and were on a winning streak. He decided to join them, making a bet of course, and barely needed to sweat to beat them. Even though he wanted to end them, they begged that they would do anything for their lives, he decided that their WAS something they could do. He allowed them to leave, as long as they brought him the cats who refuse to pay. Two days later, he was surprised to see them return, with all his debtors following them. He felt prideful with them, till they , along with the debtors, attack his group, red and blue taking him on. Even though he was stronger, the brother luck finally struck, with red paw slashing at the black tom throat.

LemonToe

-Her clan had a "unique" way of choosing who would be deputy; many trials, with one(sometimes two) cats being disqualified after each. She played her cards, acting like she was the smallest threat, resulting in many ignoring her, he'll even one called picklenose, the dumbest tom in the clan, aiding her. She got to the final two, against a tom named OrangeRiver. They had to do anything again, first would be the new deputy. Even though she was close, she had lost. She felt her world go blank as her clanmates cheered his name; their voices stopping as lemon snarled that this shouldn't have happened, and that she should of won. She snarled at the crowd, barely even stopping to when she revealed the picklenose was only her aid, never considering him a friend. She took into account that glassstar was nowhere to be seen, and Attack orangeriver. Sadly, that plan didn't work either and she got chased away. A year later, she described appovech EchoVoice, an new candidate for the deputy position, offering her aid to help her one. They were caught by bladefang, another candidate, but he decided to remain quiet. She aided her, and even tried to convince bladefang to join them, only for the tom to refuse. She thought they were almost home free, till echovoice dropped her, stating she knows that lemon only using her for leader position, and she was not goingtobeusedlike picklenose. After that, she swear to make sure that if blade made it to the final two, she would make sure he doesn't win.

She broke his back paw, but echovoice stop her before she could kill em.

BearPaw

-Bearkit had always wanted to prove himself, to show thunderclan what he got.

The night After his apprentice ceremony, he thought he could amazes his mentor by going out and catching the biggest prey, so he snuck out and went on hunt. As he look, he come across a something biger then a Boulder. He thought about taking it back, till the thing starred and his nerve got the best of him. He fled back to camp, barely got to his nest unnoticed, and tried to forget about his discovery. He just barely got to sleep when he heard a pricing screech. Bearpaw, along with the other apprentices, looked out to see HushSong being torn to shreds by a large, black bear. Bearpaw had to practically be yanked away from camp by his mentor, as cats tried to flee as warrior tried to defend themselves against the beast. Bearpaw was silent, he listened to the wails of his clanmates, for their family and friends who had fallen. Bearpaw blamed himself, he barely could eat nor speak, dying from exhaustion only 3 weeks after the massacre.

WillowPaw

-Willowpaw and his twin brother, fernpaw had been called "the luck of windclan" for the amount of good fortune they received daily. But said luck had run dried after one day, just afew moons short of their warrior ceremony, they were struck by a large monster the had swayed from the road. Saddens, Willowpaw had at least thought they would least join starclan together, till they both appeared with 8 starclan cats surrounding them. Confused, the starclan cats asked the twin who was fernpaw. Before willow could speak, fern stated that he was willow, and willow was him. With a nod, fernpaw was allowed to walk into starclan, while Willowpaw was placed on trial, then was exile to the dark forest.

(Sorry if the bio are kinda crappy, I'm not the best writer)

I CANNOT DECIDE WHAT’S BETTER, RHE STORIES OR ART

THEY’RE ALL SO GREAT AKSKSJAMMAM

[rainbeausobsessions]

I suddenly got an old character running around in my head, so now y'all have to hear about it.

So way back in the day when I was, like, 13-14, I had a character for this online forum rp by the name of Eleanor. She was a kemonomimi - human with animal ears/tail - specifically with a raccoon ears and tail set. At the time pretty much all of my characters had a pretty standard tragic backstory and would be all brooding and quiet because of it or some shit, but I realized that if she was quiet and untrusting then I wouldn't talk to anyone in the rp. So I gave her a cheerful and peppy personality to go with that tragic backstory and did not think anything threw. I also intentionally made her very ignorant of, well, everything, because I figured she could be a bit of a comic relief type character.

Whoo boy was she a mess. First off most of the active rp-ers didn't find her funny, she was annoying (frankly I don't blame them). She totally didn't have a family guys (except she did she just had amnesia, I know so original). She couldn't read and anything more complicated than a spoon came up in conversation she'd be asking incessant questions about it. And yet SOMEHOW this mess of an OC became "co-leader" of a massive crime syndicate in the rp lore. After talking to the mods at the time, they directly told me it was because of how active I was, but as a character she did not belong there xD . Didn't help that I had her join the crime syndicate when she was a fucking cinnamon roll.

(If any of y'all recognize this messy bitch, I'm sorry and I hope you're doing well xD )

Jump forward to my college years, I think around 19, and I briefly decide to revive her again as a character named El for a short story for this small writing club I was in. Except the only things El and Eleanor had in common were that neither of them had any real prospects and both of them joined a crime syndicate. El had biological parents who weren't involved and a half brother working in this super controlling government; El was quiet and reserved and smoked and slow to trust, and even their looks were different. I think the crime syndicate in my short story was helping people flee the country cuz apparently that meant better business for them in the long run, idk.

Of course now I'm thinking about it again (31) and I'm thinking about revamping her again (for what reason idk), and making her more true to her original concept but in a way that makes sense. Bright and bubbly, but still keeps a wall between herself and others. Instead of giving her a family she doesn't know, give her a small found family of fellow street urchins. Make her a sneak and a bit of a shit and ferociously loyal to those who've managed to earn her trust. And keep the raccoon features - it's a bit on the nose but it's fun. I'm calling this version Ellie.

Of course now I'm also thinking about Eleanor (OG) and I'm thinking about what if she was put in a position of power because she was regarded as incompetent and easy to manipulate? That could be interesting to explore (bwahahahaha).

Idk, Eleanor was fun but if I do anything with her it'll just be to occasionally poke that beast. El is a dime a dozen for me (and clearly just an outlet for my depression and parental issues), so she'll probably not get much use anytime soon. Ellie seems to have some rp and short story potential, so that could be fun.

The History of Thanksgiving Foods Will Totally Change the Way You Look at Your Holiday Table Here’s how pumpkin pie—and five other foods—ended up on your Thanksgiving plate. By Sarah Karnasiewicz November 6, 2022

For most, Thanksgiving is pretty much synonymous with pumpkin pie and pilgrims. But maybe it's time to learn a little more about the history of our favorite Thanksgiving foods. The next time you gather with family around the turkey and trimmings, share some fun food facts along with your Thanksgiving wishes.

The Thanksgiving holiday as we know it wasn't even established until 1863—more than two centuries after the Mayflower landed in Massachusetts. And pumpkin pies weren't actually common on American tables until the turn of the 19th century. Curious to know more about the surprising and delicious history behind all the dishes on your modern-day table? Here's what we found out about Thanksgiving’s food history.

graphic by onethread design

1621

After surviving their first brutal winter and successfully establishing a food supply, the remaining members of the Plymouth colony held a three-day harvest feast alongside the native Wampanoag Indians. (The notion that their relationship was entirely friendly has since been debunked, though it’s true that the Wampanoag tribe was looking for ways to manage and benefit from the forces of colonization.) Wild turkey was very likely a component—though not the centerpiece—of a menu that also included oysters, venison, duck, and eel.

How Long to Cook a Turkey, in One Easy Chart

1792

Early settlers might have used herbs or crushed nuts to dress their birds. Still, our traditional bread-based stuffing—spiked with butter, salt, pork, and herbs like sage and marjoram—didn't appear in American cookbooks (like Amelia Simmons's American Cookery) until the late 18th century.

1800s

BHG / Ana Cadena

Despite its all-American reputation, pumpkin pie was popularized by the British upper classes during the 16th and 17th centuries. But those pies, made from sliced squash and apple sealed in a thick double-pastry shell, bore little resemblance to the creamy, custardy, cinnamon-and-nutmeg-spiced versions that Yankee homemakers passionately embraced during the 1800s—and that we still adore today.

1917

To modern tastes, the marriage of sticky-sweet sweet potatoes and marshmallow crust might seem like a kitschy remnant of the Leave It to Beaver era. In fact, this dish's origins reach back even further. Marshmallows were a novelty around the turn of the 20th century and were aggressively promoted by their makers, including the Angelus Company (now the Campfire brand). The company’s 1917 corporate recipe pamphlet featured the first known recipe for mashed sweet potatoes with a marshmallow topping.

Cranberries have been a staple of the New England larder for centuries. But it wasn’t until more than 100 years ago that they could be bought fresh, and even then, only for two months out of the year. But in 1912, a savvy Yankee lawyer named Marcus L. Urann changed the cranberry industry—and the landscape of the Thanksgiving table—forever.

Starting with a single bog, Urann went on to found the company that's today known around the world as Ocean Spray. Their most beloved (or belittled) product—the log of "jellied" cranberry sauce that keeps its shape even when shaken from the can—first hit the market several decades later in 1941 and is gobbled up by the gallon (about 5,062,500 gallons, to be precise) each holiday season.

1955

Holiday hot dishes became wildly popular in post-war America, but few have had the staying power of green bean casserole. Created in 1955 by Dorcas Reilly, a home economics staff member at the Campbell's Soup Company, the recipe brings together a trio of classic mid-century convenience foods: canned onions, canned green beans, and, of course, Campbell's condensed cream of mushroom soup. In 2002, Reilly donated her original hand-written recipe card to the National Inventor's Hall of Fame, where it keeps company with such illustrious neighbors as the light bulb and the phonograph.

(Sorry couldn't resist. Feel free to ignore) Robin had been spending more and more time round Cornel's. In fact he practically lived there and was rarely at his home now. Most of the time Robin kept to himself or did as he was told. But that day, he'd wanted to suprise Cornel. The idea had been there for a while and he simply couldn't shake it. Besides he was feeling particularly seasonal so who was he to ignore that feeling. So Robin began to bake in the kitchen. Of course there was a lot of rummaging around as he failed to find everything. But eventually he had all the ingredients he wanted and began making the gingerbread. a simple idea of a house and version's of them. The flour got dropped, the icing made a mess and there was sprinkles everywhere by the time he was done. Plus there was all the washing up still to do. But he was proud of his creations, unaware of the mess on himself, particularly the flour on his nose. When he heard the door open, he was still adding some finishing touches but still his smile got bigger. "Sir!" He called out. "I made you something." He said proudly.

Cornel had no idea what compelled him to allow Robin to stay at his home. Granted, before he had met the boy and actually started their little arrangement, the house never felt like a home. Not until that little thing weaseled his way into his heart somehow and actually decorated the house a tad more. The throw pillows were a nice addition he won't lie there and even if there was no need for any thing other he found his house swarmed with little things that reminded him of Robin. Besides his presence that is. That boy was more at his place than in his flat above his shop.

And he had expected him to be in the said shop when he returned after the last mission he was sent out on. Seriously, one would think that mob boss high as this would know what to say to whom before the information got to the wrong people, but alas, at least he paid well. Cor was beyond tired and all he wanted to do was just spend a nice few hours in his tub and then perhaps tend to his garden but what he came home to was a thing he hadn't expected.

His lovely kitchen, that he kept so meticulously clean and didn't allow anyone in, really - not even his best friend, looked as if a bomb went off in it. Eggshells lining the counter in the heaps of flower that made the dark marble look more white than its original color. Was that cinnamon in there too? And...oh lord don't tell me that the stuff on the cabinets' doors is honey. "Pet." he breathed just standing in the doorway, bag still slung over his shoulder and staring at the kitchen with raising disbelief. His eyes wide mouth slightly agape before he zeroed in on the man of question. "What did you do to my kitchen?"

Here with Some More art wifbd

They're not exactly hp MCs, They're actually my kotsam MC (Elijah Crowe) and His gf Katia in a hogwarts au.

So, I know You're not particularly invested un kotsam (or probably You Didn't even know It existed) akbdjs so I Thought in fusing my two Hyperfixations to talk about it.

Some Information About Them in This au because Yes.

Elijah Crowe

Half-blood

Lives with His uncles (That until attending Hogwarts he thought were His parents) in a few Words he has The Life Harry Would've had If The Dursley were not abusive. Elijah's uncles Fear The idea Of The Magical World but are protective Of Elijah

Obscurial

Since very Little he was fascinated by The idea Of living in a Magical World, he Will eat every fantasy book he could and study with entusiasm about mythological.

And... His Life Is Pretty fucked up.

To resume: He's a keeper, Is a position similar to The chosen one title but Like, More Murk he can die in any moment and He's expected to Protect himself. Has a Horcrux, His Best friend Is in comma and betrayed him, The Teachers want to control him because Of His very powerful obscurial and There's This Girl that Is very possesive Of His Girlfriend (Like, Is Confirmed She Loves her in a very unhealthy way, Like LEVELS “I Will Kill You Without hesitation”)

He tries His Best, he really Is. But He's a ticking Timebomb.

Ravenclaw

He Might have killed a Imperius'd person in Self defence (This Happened in The Game actually, because I Didn't watch Out for The Sanity Stat)

Katia

Hufflepuff

Seer

She loved Elijah Before even meeting since she's always seeing him in her visions, She always Finded him fascinating from What she saw, At First was a Thought “Oh, This Guy Is so sweet and Brave! I want to be His friend” and when They finally met, They both kind Of Catched feelings for The Other.

She kind Of Fits The hufflepuff stereotype, sweet, kind. Though She always want to avoid problems and Make Someone do The Talking... Wich can be seen as Selfish.

reserved

Cursed (literally)

So before I go any further, I really love the name Elijah Crowe. That's a surname that I've also used for OCs and it just has such a snazzy, creepy ring to it, doesn't it? Elijah is also a neat name. I rarely meet Elijahs in real life, but I have before when I was younger and I definitely took note of the name. You're right, I don't know a thing about un kotsam but I'm delighted to learn more!

That's so interesting, thinking that people are your parents when they are in fact other relatives standing in. (Game of Thrones, anyone?) Though as an adopted child I have to say that in cases like that, the uncles are the parents, as that's what they become. I quite like the idea of an alternate version of the Dursleys who actually do their damn job in raising their nephew, because you just know that James and Lily would have taken Dudley in and loved him as a second son if anything had happened to his parents. I'm also curious at how a child like this could develop an obscurus, especially if he was fascinated by the wizarding world. I have the same questions about Credence from Fantastic Beasts.

I am so overwhelmed and enthralled by learning this story and oh god, so sad as well. It's quite awkward in general, but definitely for a significant other, if someone has a person in their life who's that devoted to them. I almost blinked and missed the part about Elijah having a horcrux, but that's...creepy. Like, I know plenty of characters commit murder but the creation of a horcrux is a step beyond "usual evil" as they say in the books. Apparently there's a whole process to making one that is never depicted and only Rowling's editor knows. (Upon being told, they felt like throwing up, so...yikes. I want to know, but I don't want to know, at the same time...) In general, the line about him being a "ticking timebomb" is powerful symbolism and quite accurate.

This has nothing to do with anything, but I'm heartbroken for the story about him accidentally killing someone under the Imperius Curse, and especially with the origin story of how it happened inadvertently while you were playing the game. Like many others, I accidentally killed Toriel on my first Undertale playthrough and was spooked when Flowey remembered it even after I reset. In general, everyone's got little stories like those about the games they play. Characters who sadly died when they didn't have to. (Accursed Vampires took Eorlund Graymane from us too soon, damn it...)

I've just now realized that Katia (who is positively adorable, going off the artwork) is the person who has that friend who is obsessed with them. And she's a seer, and a cinnamon roll. A seernamon roll! Ahaha...ah...I'll show myself out. Especially if we're going to start talking about catching feelings for friends without meaning too, because oh boy have I been there.

So synthetic pheromones, he wondered if that meant they also had genetically modified semen banks like so many brought up, a place where the high caste sent their seeds to be fertilized artificially and kept until they felt like having their puppies. This felt so cold, unnatural... sure an Alpha could he rough, but how bad one needed to screw in order to have that necessity?

"It's a bit of both, my Lord. For many years those pastries had a heavier crust, but this made the flavor of the filling be mutted by the crust. When I first came up with the idea for a flaked version the same of baking didn't work anymore, so I had to get creative and eventually came up with the idea of braiding it, this way the sweet paste of honey and apple inside doesn't get all melted or mushy, but absorbed by the dough, which results in not only the core of the pastry being sweet, but all of it. Each and every bite will have the taste of the filling." He smiled. "When I discovered other pastes and fillings could work too, I just put in some variety."

"Your favorite is the strawberry and cherry one - I think? It's the one that's always requested by the castle, - but the original, like I said, is honey and apples. My personal favorite is honey and peaches. And the most popular is cream with sugar and cinnamon, during the Winter season the one is mixed nuts also sells well." Lauri walked a couple of steps behind Souji in a sign of respect.

Such lushful place was the gardens, full of life, it was inspiring for the baker, some of those flowers sure looked elegant and could make good material for his more delicate pastries.

"With all due respect, your Eminence, but if it's addictive to use the synthetic scent, wouldn't the real thing be even more dangerous?" Now he was worried, because his own pills had been gone for a while due to his activities as a gladiator and since coming to the palace he hadn't had more. Things seemed to be under control though for as long as the Emperor prevented things from his side too.

stellarcomedy​:

At the mention of the Emperor wanting to stroll through the garden, Lauri stood up and offered a hand to help him after giving a profusely respectful bow. He was always beside the ruler once he walked through the castle gates, that was his place as his consort after all.

“Perhaps, but they serve their purpose of satisfying your needs without risks, are polite and maintain a nice harmony as they don’t stick out.” Unlike the way most Alphas were, always fighting, boasting, loud and territorial, outside their pills, Alphas could be quite a handful, even Lauri himself was, he was surprised he’d been holding up so well. “If I may ask… is it true that some nobles buy perfumes that mimic the scent of Alphas and give it to their servants?” The question was a rumor he heard through all his life, a common belief, but no one ever confirmed it - not to him at least.

Walking a couple of steps behind Souji, the gladiator heard his question and hummed softly. “I was taken away very young and don’t remember much, most of what I know I learned from my contact with people from there who recognized my traits. But you can ask me what you want, your Majesty, I’ll gladly answer what I know.”

The gardens were brimming with life, flowers that seemed bioluminescent blooming in the cooling night air.  It made the surroundings fragrant and peaceful, the emperor taking deep breaths of the scent.

Souji’s  eyes went wide, and he started laughing.  “Oh no you’ve heard about that, have you?? Well, it’s not completely untrue,” he smiled softly.  “It’s not a perfume that mimics an Alpha’s scent, but rather synthesized pheromone.  The research is risky, and while I cannot approve of it, the operations exist outside of my reach.  It is said they extract pheromone directly from an alpha’s scent glands for reproduction.  Very few use it, since it it quite expensive, and has rather addictive side effects..at least the earlier strains did.”

His mouth started to twist in disgust.  “I’ve smelled it before, and it’s been since forbidden in the palace.  It’s offensive, it reeks of…”  He tried to find the proper term, but it escaped him.  “Falsehood… it’s lacks the appeal that an actual alpha’s scent can carry.  Like yours… it’s more than just pheromones, but spice and sugar from the bakery…sweat… warmth…. there are things synthetics cannot duplicate.”  He chuckled, shaking his head.  “Perhaps they’re right…” he said softly to himself recalling soft murmurs in the courts.  Strange, eccentric.  An emperor of neon and chrome with a taste for firelight and wood.

He turned to Lauri with a smile.  “Hmm… what to ask first…perhaps about your baked treat, the braided pastries… why braided? Is there a story to it or just a design?”  He figured there would have to be, else why take the time to make it just so?

Greater Seattle's Worst and Best Pancakes

Several times leaving the QFC grocer in Greenwood, Seattle, police vehicles caught my eye. They caught my eye in the sense that I had to realize why they were clustering in a far corner of the parking lot. A nest.

With a nest comes eggs, and where there are eggs, albeit stating this usual rule apologetically to my vegan readers, there is breakfast. And breakfast it was, drawing in Seattle's finest. How good was it, hmm?

My questions brimmed over while yummy memories challenged the new coming idea of Patty and her eggnest. The potential decorations took over my interests as I contemplated whether the restaurant interior was like an actual bird nest. It may have been the Taylor Swift in me, but I thought it would be grand if the door transported me into the likeness of a bird's kitchen and dining space.

Thinking back on the birdcage theme of a younger Swift's home, I wondered how a set of "organic nest", with circular booths and low hanging, branch-like lighting could cuddle one into the homey feeling mama bird was feeding baby birds. I stopped there.

One quiet morning last week, I found time to slip into Patty's Eggnest and try something on the menu. Thrilled with fare descriptions, it was hard to pass up the British Breakfast of English muffins and other alluring pleasantries, but I eventually decided on my favorite IHOP offering, Corned Beef Hash.

It was pretty good. I liked the tenderness of the corned beef and the heaping serving size. A drawback, the potatoes didn't quite make the mark and were rather bland in my opinion. Chewing, I bit into a couple pieces of green pepper, which I assume found their way into my main dish by way of flattop, no harm no foul, but I prefer the added onion and seasoning in IHOP's version. Although I'm unsure when I'll be going back there since the last time I enjoyed my favorite, I folded my leftovers in a napkin for my dog and accidentally left it appearing like just a napkin.

The problem with that is, my napkin was sure to make a mess no matter who cleared the table. The question of why? And, who would do that? And my not being there to explain would make me look guilty of whatever they imagined, even, gulp..., the implied ignorance of to-go boxes.

Elephante back to the realm of discipline.

Impractical nest dreams of theme parkish food spots aside, the cafe had an almost "at home" feel to it, with eye friendly, dimmer lights and welcoming vintage music. I didn't care for the unique house jam, although the concept could be sensational, the strawberry jam was like watery, thawed and processed frozen strawberries with a hint of sugar.

American breakfast boasts of lightly fried or baked batters. Flapjacks, griddle cakes or pancakes - whatever you prefer to call them - are menu staples across the nation. Everyone seemed to take a shot at making them but I began to wonder what restaurant around could offer a better pancake than IHOP?

Since Pierce County Sherrifs seemed to be regulars there, and because the eggnest wasn't all bad, I decided to try Elmer's. I walked in before the morning rush and waited awhile for a hostess to show up and greet me. The pancakes weren't terrible, and had a good taste, but they didn't beat IHOP.

Having indulged in the famous, light pancakes from Elmer's, I felt it was unfair to judge their greatness without having tried the competition just down the street. I decided to drop into Shari's on 72nd to try pancakes because I just tried the cinnamon roll on my first visit to a Shari's in North Seattle.

Shari's was inconsistent, some bites were overinflated with vanilla flavor but the majority of the cakes were dry, overcooked and tasted only of adverage tasting syrup and butter topping.

Disgusted but determined that better, sweet, pan fried batter was out there, just hiding in some corner cafe or low profile wall with a door, I pursued on.

Patty's Diner on Tacoma Ave struck me as the type of spot whose chef would put some thought into a classic or even put a classic spin on everyday pancakes. Pancakes sprinkled with powdered sugar tasted like a good box mix, but then something extra. The atmosphere of vintage Marilyn Monroe pictures, 1950's theme of crowded trinkets and a variety of old school telephones that used to be plugged to the walls to work, created an entertaining experience. Not too angry, great service at a place that's fun to see with creative taste.

The Original Pancake House on 6th Ave in Tacoma was next to evaluate. They have the best written menu out of places in this post. I liked the blues music at a volume perfect for 8:43am. Since the best pancakes were what I was after, I ordered what they call pancakes on their menu.

Let's talk first about the hair in the butter. One hair equals Elephante and mouse in small, confined, micro studio apartment. Powering through that horror flick, I removed the hair because I was convinced by the well written description of the original aged batter pancakes that they would hit high on my quality score. Boy.

So back in Missouri there's a popular bread, I believe was brought to the US by German immigrants. Amish Friendship bread is a delicious, yum, and yummier treat made from aged batter. I was sold based on memories of scrumptious bread that these pancakes would hold the same wonderful taste.

Someone slapped the Elephante.

Two chewing attempts and I began to question who came to the conclusion that those things were meant for consumption? Aged and rotten are far separated places in the world of food. Cheese v. Rotten Milk here. What else can I say?

Later that same day, I was impressed to find somewhere serving edible comfort food. I went for Black Bear Diner in Federal Way.

As I was seated at the "bar" - a take on the traditional eat at the bar offerings found in diners across America - I was interested in the visual of a hectic looking kitchen with cooks bantering about missing orders and quick changes verbally called over by wait staff. The menu, an entertaining newspaper with snips of wording that intend to take patrons deep forest and make them feel truly "black beared" with matching themed cups, placemats, and sugar packets wasn't all that appealing to me.

Ordering a "mini volcano" from the lighter fare menu, I expected the thing a diner can't get wrong to be in business. Elephante angry. The pancakes were crispy and dry, even with an overeasy egg on the top of the cakes - for some reason. I couldn't find flavor or taste in any of the bites I gave a chance with my mouth. Coffee was see-through, weaker than any I've ever paid for. I was so appalled it became difficult to speak.

Elephante left with gigantic elephant ears pinned back against huge skull.

I can't even think about pancakes right now, but I will state, you can't deny perfection. International House of Pancakes has mastered a good quality pancake that is hard to measure up to.
