The scent of a fellow werewolf hit his nose a moment after the other man had appeared, and Roux smiled even more broadly. He was aware there were others of his kind in town, and while he was not really the type to want to take up with any sort of pack, he did not mind having others around. Especially if they would lend a hand like this. "Merci. Glad someone 'round here's familiar wit' de money. But dats, um, not much, righ'?" Not that Roux had really expected the coins to be a ton, but it would have been nice to net a little more than spare change. "Well hey, least I can splurge an' get a li'l extra syrup in my coffee next time!"

CHARLIE

After a close call with her and Clay’s egg, Viva realises that… she almost made a terrible mistake. She’s been so far gone, so sure that she had to make sure Clay couldn’t leave her, that she didn’t even think that… maybe she just needs to make him not want to? God. She almost killed her own child, because… what? She wanted blackmail material? She’s pathetic. She’s an awful mother, an awful wife, she can’t believe herself.

Viva traces her thumb over the small crack on the egg, it’s not enough to hurt the baby but it’s there and it’s all because of her she did it to them, and she decides that this is it. She’s not going to let it get this bad again. She’s going to pull herself together, she’ll make it up to the kid, she’ll make it up to Clay.

She’ll make it up to herself.

Charlie is a mischievous little scamp, always looking to turn a quick buck. Even if that means roping his cousins (mostly Ha’Penny) into his various get rich quick schemes, which are totally unnecessary since his family’s already rich but you don’t understand! He wants to earn it! It’s like the thrill of the hunt, except the “hunt” is “tricking his similarly rich classmates into purchasing what he claims to be a hair strengthening tonic but is actually tap water mixed with lemon juice and sriracha sauce”. Regardless of the non-product he is advertising, he always manages to sell out, because he is one hell of a showman.

Despite being primarily driven by his need to amass wealth (he is 5 years old, so “wealth” for him is like, 50 trollars), that doesn’t mean he lacks a heart! He cares for his family, and part of the reason he loves money so much is because he always wants to see his parents’ faces brighten up when he brings them a gift, whether it’s something as small as a chocolate bar or something as… concerning, as a piece of very expensive jewellery, which a 5 year old shouldn’t have been able to purchase? Don’t ask. He also gets along really well with his cousins!

Ha’Penny Hatch is, of course, his partner in crime. They also occasionally double as his fall guy if a scheme goes south, but it’s okay because they would NEVER get in trouble; who the hell is going to go after the 4 year old, mute, heir to the throne? Only someone with a death wish, that’s who. Besides, Penny is more than happy to return the favour; Charlie’s crazy antics are often the highlight of their day!

With Angelina, they don’t actually talk that much, but they get on fine! Even if she does not see it as a compliment when he calls her Raggedy Ann, but it’s just a nickname! It’s supposed to be cute! Take a chill pill why dontcha, Ann?

Brad, however… the two have a bit of a rivalry, you could say. Brad always assumes Charlie’s up to no good, which is totally unfair, because Charlie’s only up to no good, like, 45% of the time! That’s the minority, Brad, he thought big kids like you were supposed to know all about percentages. 🙄

miitopia is an rpg created by Nintendo utilising the customisation of the “miis”, characters meant to represent you, your family and people in general. the storyline goes along the lines of ; you’re a traveller, coming across the land of miitopia and you fall into greenhorne. Before being met with the dark lord whose goal is to steal everyone’s faces and place them onto monsters. You, the traveller have to gain team members and save the world and possibly the dark lord.

heres. My parties, ocs and a few facts :]

party 1; the sunstone party (greenhorne)

Faelyn, our main traveller, they/any, VERY gay for Aelius, just some. Guy from a kingdom that’s hidden from sight by a cloak of magic placed over it by its rulers. Faelyn isn’t anything special until the post game. In this party she is a mage, only being a beginner.

Aelius, He/they, VERY gay for Faelyn, the cleric and prince of aeligar. (By being the princess’ sibling I think that’s how royalty works?) Aelius, and the people of aeligar got infected with a curse that. Gives them more eyes and more horrifying features. Throughout the game I give Aelius more eyes.

Scamp, She/her, aroace, thief the party found her in a box and was like ‘yo wanna save the world with us?” And she was like “ok”

Penny, she/her, GAY for Nasrin. Popstar who was previously a clown, most miserable gal EVER.

Party 2; the trickster party.

Faelyn, same info as before. Slightly more miserable warrior, morning the loss of Aelius because he kinda got kidnapped.

Comet/C0M37, They/she, an anxious scientist and hacker who likes to basically bend physics without realising it. She’s terrified of their own abilities honestly. Sibling of Erith, therefore being part imp. In a qpp with sol!

Erith, She/her, a mysterious imp the party was forced to fight due to erith being partly controlled by the dark lord before comet recognised her as their sister, purifying her with a potion?? I guess?? Formula??. Erith has most likely lived through a war.

Sol, they/she, a cat that’s siblings with scamp! And in a qpp with comet. Sol is extremely energetic and found out about the party due to their sisters disappearance, wanting to help save her.

Party 3; Traveller party

Faelyn, same info, very miserable thief now. Past battles means they now have a blank eye and a lot more scars.

Nasrin, she/it, princess of aeligar, sister of Aelius. She’s also infected with the virus, and also joined Faelyn in a hope to find its brother (aelius) (she ended up finding out about Faelyn and Aelius and was li,e “good for you” and then met penny and was like “holy smokes!!”)

Jorildyn, he/it, (transgenderrr) a travelling cook from the land of the fey, seeing Nasrin and Faelyn struggle with a lack of healing abilities led Jorildyn to join their party, cooking delicious food daily with the scraps left of the monsters they fought. He probably loves cake more than anything ever actually.

Ori, She/her, Faelyn little sister! She found about her older sibling travelling to save the world and insisted she’d join, being a beginner mage after being taught by Faelyn when Faelyn still was living in their kingdom. Ori got heavily battered by goblins, being saved by the great sage who took Ori to Faelyn.

BONUS!! Pets. Technical other creatures

Cluzz, a hobgoblin they found in the land of fey that Faelyn refused to get rid of. With trial and error they managed to just about befriend it, when they saved Aelius he would cast a spell to give it a face from a person who wasn’t real. So it could live on as a friend,

skysong, a mystical horse they encountered also being swarmed by goblins. Once saved it agreed to partner with the team, regaining its magic very slowly.

Dominic, a dragon saved in the canon story that the party tamed, flying around miitopia on it.

I love my ocs DONT JUDGE ME. /silly

uh enjoy…

th. THAT IS A LOT HOLY MOLY..... BUT SOUNDS VERY INTERESTING!!!!!!! :D

alaruming nickwhickers and bruting pondragoons, the gamble-gimmicked lords of the dusty swathe of bare between nextford and backshire, the men of niddy crum whos only tosh was with those roiling beaters of the uplaced way of right. coined by their parsible artiste, they ambled their way aboard, yashing and gnashing at the grumbled gropes who stood yarrow-yucked, in the way, sick as a dog and twice as ugly. “pah,” proclaims King Pin, and sets his collywobbles down upon thine trebulous yoke’s sundering slab of tushy. “twee and twiddle,” says he. “most tricksome and erstwhile.”

those laxed and livered brokers scumbled each of dem good. and. hard. tick-tockering away, buxom in the tiddlywinks of our frisson, time set upon us clattering and squelching. we ran triples and doubles, cotchering forwards through sandy envelopes of days.

twas a froble sight, yungun, and spare. no soap on their knees and no mistake! spare a penny and a pipe for an old squasher like eye, sez eye. alas. the braidley bunch were not very tres amuse bouche.

the dread clutches of sweetie grim’s skrelly smelly hands, albeit tendersome, we’re particularly scorched at that point. i was, as the poeats say, UN DONE AND DONE UP.

tho, twas sorted in the end.

Kaiser Kaise had creelishly surrendered his gluttonous rump upon our twiddling lady’s chair, and we sharpered scampish afore the frosting flaggard could pull down the mizzenmast ‘pon us poor tosherooning boys.

moral is, always wash your socks and never kiss a scaning man if a prangish wee scamp will do.

Jackunzel February Special Week 2 - Summer Impromptu Road Trip Getaway

Jackson Overland Frost just got his driver’s license, and he is determined to use it irresponsibly.

When his mom impulsively gifts him the rusty old bucket of screws she was originally planning on selling, he decides this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. A once-in-who-knows-how-long change for an escape from his boring little hometown. He gathers up every last penny he’s earned from summer jobs and plans the most epic cross-country the world has ever seen.

...okay, perhaps not the most epic. The most epic cross-country road trip on a teenage shoestring budget the world has ever seen.

And who better to take than his lifelong best friend, especially when said lifelong best friend has been wishing for months to get a break from her insanely overbearing mom?

Rapunzel doesn’t know what she’s expecting the first night of summer vacation, but it certainly isn’t Jack pulling up in front of her house at 1 in the morning and telling her in an excited whisper to “pack a suitcase as fast as she can.” It feels like a scene from an action movie--“there’s no time to explain, just get in the car!”

And who is Rapunzel to refuse the call to adventure in her very own coming-of-age indie epic?

Besides, her...feelings for the mischievous scamp she’s known since elementary school have been shifting lately. She’s always been comfortable and relaxed around him--entirely herself.

But now there’s something else, too. Her heart races when he accidentally touches her. Her stomach gets full-on vertigo when he hugs her. She finds herself being more obsessive about fixing her hair, more meticulous when planning her outfits.

She jokes to Anna that it’s the newly-died white hair. It’s such a striking contrast from the unassuming chocolate mop of their childhoods that of course it would make her feel an inexplicable shift in their friendship. It’s jarringly novel, and of course she’d be anxious that Jack trying on something so different might lead to...well.

To him drifting away. Becoming a new person she didn’t recognize. Leaving her behind as he grew into whoever he was meant to be and realized he just wasn’t the same guy she smeared finger paint on in their kindergarten class anymore.

But Rapunzel doesn’t think she’s anxious. She’s not really worried Jack’s planning on ditching her--not after they’ve made it this far together.

If anything, what’s stirring in her is more excitement than fear. Anticipation for something she can’t quite place.

They drive off into the night, leaving behind everything they’ve ever known. Rapunzel decides the weird cushiness she’s been feeling in her stomach is a problem for her future self. After all, she’s only trapped in a vehicle for a week plus with the very same guy who’s been giving her strange tingling sensations as of late--what’s the worst that could happen?!

And so the trek begins--from Yosemite to the Grand Canyon, from the Rockies to the Appalachians. Being led on ill-fated detours by incompetent GPS systems. Stopping for ice cream to undo the distress caused by said GPS systems. Spontaneously stopping and hiking 7-mile Pacific Northwest trails to burn off the ice cream calories. Crashing at run-down motels in the middle of nowhere, their neon signs flickering and buzzing like dying fireflies.

And maybe Rapunzel’s going crazy, but she swears that Jack can feel it too. This...new energy between them.

His gaze lingers. He looks for excuses to pat her hand and hold her fingers. His arm finds its way around her shoulders even when he isn’t drunk (his cheaply-made fake ID works much more than Rapunzel expects).

It’s hard to deny the sheer newness of it all--the strangeness. Perhaps it isn’t a bad change. But there’s something a little overwhelming about accepting that their friendship can never really go back to how it was. Things can never be quite the same again.

They can never be the same because of that evening on the ferris wheel, hundreds of miles from home.

It’s just past sunset when the ride gets stuck. It’s funny at first, the thought that they expected anything else from podunk county fair in rural Ohio. Then a quiet serene washes over them, taking in the cool dusk air and the sound of crickets and the glimmering town lights below.

Then he turns to her, and his eyes glint with roguery and starlight. Suddenly, she knows he understands.

And she does too.

They end up lip-locked, unable to get their hands off each other even when their ferris wheel car reaches the ground and a very annoyed ride attendant ushers them out the gate. They hold hands all the way back to the motel, and they fall asleep wrapped up in each other.

Rapunzel only manages one coherent thought, staring up at the stucco ceiling and beaming so wide her cheeks hurt.

Now I get it.

***

Tfw you just wanted to write a fun little vignette about Jackunzel summer road trip shenanigans...and then you accidentally dived in to the existential dread of growing up and the inherent fear of changing relationships, even if it’s a change both people want ^^; BUT HEY, is that not the draw of Friends to Lovers, My Most Beloved??? Where’s the fun in it if it doesn’t shake things up a lil when they make the change from friends TO lovers??? Like!!! Dating someone and being friends with someone can be pretty different, but the overlap is also fuckin epic, if you can make it work!!! 10/10, would recommend, from my VERY limited amount of experience escaping the friendzone lmfao

Anyways, if I had a few more concrete ideas I’d write a one shot out of this--because I truly do love AUs where Jack and Rapunzel just go like “eh fuck it” and yeet out of town on a road rip without warning XD I just think they deserve to go sightseeing and sing really loud to the radio on the open road!!! As a treat!!!

Actually very very pleased with how this came out though <3 The ferris wheel, the middle road trip-y pic, and the Rapunzel hiking pic I’ve been wanting to use in a moodboard for ages :O And now!!! They can all help Jack and Punz go on adventures lmao Also I highkey wanna visit the forest on the bottom left but I don’t know whERE IT ACTUALLY IS DAMMIT The site I saved it from didn’t say lol

Aaaaand now I’m just rambling because damn it I want a cool indie coming-of-age road trip where I explore fun, pretty places and find myself and fall in love ;______;

Moodboard pic credits available upon request, as always!

Cloud’s list of Trans Headcanons 2023

(includes nonbinary and “MOGAI” genders)

(MOGAI is in quotes here, because it’s actually another version of the “Queer” label, but people *cough*transphobes/truscum*cough* like to list anything that isn’t strictly binary trans people, especially more “complicated” gender identities as “MOGAI genders”, and i don’t need truscum harassing me over my headcanons, no matter how “simple” or “complicated” the label may be)

[pennyydear]

who: penny & @dodgingworry where: the deare household

Penny had taken up Dodger's offer to come over the Deare's house while he and Angelica were out for the night. Even though she couldn't stand his little blonde girlfriend, she supposed she could keep Dodger company. It sounded like they had gone back to being at their own apartment every so often, but were switching off more with Scamp's sisters staying over until things entirely calmed down. She didn't want to press for more, but she would do the same for her own mother if someone threatened her like that, so she understood. As much as it might have been a horrible idea for her to come over while their only buffer, Lilah, was hanging out with Penny's mother in the kitchen, Penny was giving this, normalcy, a shot. Just two friends hanging out on a weekend was all this was. "Did he say when they're gonna be back? Not that I'm, you know, running away from you or anything, but was this supposed to be, like, a date date?" Penny wasn't sure what his thoughts were on Angelica, but if that house party confirmed anything, it was that she couldn't stand her. "Hear me out: we should either sneak out and spy on them, or try and eavesdrop on what my mom's talking about."

Character Bio: Tina Bufanda Homeless and without a penny to her name, Tina is the devious little scamp that's been kicking it with J.J. ever since they were both really young. She's got quite a few petty crimes under her belt, and because of that, she's stuck going to Clown academy, which she truly dreads. She was always told that she would be destined for great things by her mother, but she hasn't seen her mother since before she even met J.J., so why should she believe her?

Kukui: Who did you sell it to?

Penny: Mari-

This is Halloween! This is Halloween! 

OTMS

MUN: S! Members applauded S for diving in head-first with two memorable new characters that we already love. From the scrappy Angel to the dignified Darius, we can’t wait to see what stories you tell here!

CHARACTER: SCAMP! From the first time he popped up on the dash, we’ve simply been obsessed with J’s Scamp! He may have just joined us, but he’s already up to some exciting new plots and we just love to see it. Welcome to Swynlake, Scamp!

Honorable Mention: PACIFICA! Pacifica had a huge month, finally escaping her parents and exposing them for their shady ways! Way to go, Pacifica, and props to L for executing a thrilling and dramatic plot.

THREAD: THE MERCREW’S GROUP THERAPY SESSIONS! We love to see a community of Magicks come together like this. While Bruce, Aquata, Alana, Gil, and Gabriella each have their own reasons for being there, we’re excited to see where this goes next. 

TASK: HARVEST WITH THE HAUNTLEYS | FOODIES! Snow, Cass, and Julieta are such a power trio, and we loved to see them team up for some fall food talk. More of this, please!!!

Honorable Mention: BACK TO SCHOOL-ISH | TANYA & ANGEL! This one got a shoutout for being a creative take on the paired thread prompt! A back-to-school thread… where neither of them actually go to the school. Way to go, S and E!

BOARD UPDATES 

THE FOREST IS NORMAL! BUT STILL CLOSED: Thanks to Ella and her deal with Grandmother Willow, it seems the forest has retreated from its invasion of the town. There’s no need to worry about creeping vines or meddlesome chipmunks anymore. However, the forest remains closed and requires a permit to access— failing to comply can result in hefty fines!

PETITION TO REOPEN THE FOREST: DENIED, Despite almost unanimously passing by the Board, the Petition to Reopen the Forest has been denied by the acting mayor. NOTE: Mayors have always had veto powers on petitions, so Eboshi isn’t technically overstepping, but it is rarely actually exercised. 

NEW SHERIFF/DEPUTY: Announcing Swynlake PD’s newest dynamic duo: Tom Harrington (Sheriff) and Maximus Keaton (Deputy)! They will be replacing Clayton now that he’s skipped town. Feel free to have your characters talk about it and hit up C and L to plot!

TASKS

EVIL TWIN: Oftentimes, your character is the hero of their own story… but what if they were the villain? Make an aesthetic and a short description of what it might be like if your character made different choices, went down a different path, and became a spooky version of themselves! (Aesthetic + 300 words)

The Shadowman [Extract] - Kevin Mannis

Light from the hallway crept into my room. Along with the Shadow Man too, I assume. For never before had I seen such a form, That could change like a flame that licks in a storm.

Just quiet as a monk he crept in on his knees, and then he perched on the edge of my bed, if you please. With two dull yellow eyes and an ear-to-ear grin, He made sure I was wide awake, lest he begin.

One by one he outstretched his four arms and two legs, Then he plucked out his eyes, and he cracked them like eggs. As the yolks of these horrible ovoids would drip, he would raise either shell to his mouth for a sip. Now a glow had appeared where his eyes had once been, On his neck there were gills, on his back was a fin.

"Are you human or spirit? You breathe like a fish."

"I am your Shadow Man, sweet child. Whatever you wish." "Tell me kindly if you are my friend of my foe."

"I am that which you harvest from dream seeds you've sown. When you crawl into bed and remember your day, were you kind to the others with whom you have played? Or instead were you selfish, unruly, or spoiled? A most wicked young lad who deserves to be boiled. I wait here in the darkness 'til you fall asleep, and I come to your dreams with a promise to keep. From the night time till morning I will torment your soul, To exact every penny you owe as a toll."

I started to tremble, I covered my head. I called for my father my voice filled with dread. But the Shadowman leapt from my bed and took flight, He hid deep in my closet and peered out with delight.

My father came into my room with his lamp, He admonished me not to be behave like a scamp.

"There's a Shadow Man, Father, right here in this room! With four arms and two legs and he smells like a tomb! He's there in my closet right now - look and see!"

Father lifted one eyebrow as he spoke to me. "That's enough of this nonsense, we've all gone to bed! I don't know whose been putting these things in your head But a man made of shadows is nothing to fear, there's no substance to shadows, you see - am I clear?"

I insisted he open the closet doors wide, which he did. Then we both took a look deep inside. But my closet was empty as my father had said, For the Shadow Man now had slipped under my bed.

Father tucked me in snuggly, he gave me a hug, He tousled my hair, gave my cheek a slight tug. Then my father had taken his lamp and departed. I had just about fell asleep when it started.

It began when I felt something under my bed, Coming up through the covers and nearing my head. I didn't dare move, I was still as could be, With my eyes tightly shut so he wouldn't see me. But my hopes were soon dashed on the shores of despair, As the stench of the Shadow Man's breath filled the air. And the silence was broken one inch from my ear, As the Shadow Man whispered "My boy, I'm right here."
