I can't believe that this cool 1959, (reno'd in 1977), time capsule in Waverly, TN is still on the market. I posted it so long ago, and it's special b/c it was featured in Better Homes & Gardens magazine. 6bds, 4ba, 4,415 sq ft, $633,888.

Wow, it really needed some sort of mat- look at how black it is by the door. Anyway, it has beautiful stained glass panels. Look at the interesting architectural feature on the left.

They put a piano up there, it has built-in seats, and a living room area.

In addition to that, there's this huge open space.

Here's a dining area. There are so many architectural features in the walls and ceilings.

These 2 counters are at the entrance to the kitchen and this one is used as a desk. The other is used as a dining surface.

The kitchen is big. I love that it's a pretty shade of pink. I like the curving cabinets and the ceiling of light.

Then, here's a laundry area.

I don't know what this room is. It's either a sun room or the primary bedroom.

Hallway to the bedrooms.

This bedroom has a large home office for two. The home belonged to a Dr.- you can see the little figure on the shelf.

Another bedroom with a vanity or desk.

One of the baths has a mural.

This bedroom has an en-suite.

Basement bedroom.

And, rec room.

Back of the home with a swimming pool and cabana.

From the original Better Homes & Gardens Article.

It's demonstrating the versatility of the house.

All of the built-ins. What's interesting is that you can see that before it was reno'd in 1977, it wasn't pink.

I think that this is so interesting.

Even the backyard was different. The lot is 1.9 acres.

It'll probably fascinate me for the rest of my life - the serendipitous timing of this show and this role coming into my life as it did. But beyond the entanglement of art and life, the other thing I'll keep coming back to is just the wild privilege of getting to tell this story, with these people. From sweet baby Ellen Waverly, one of the first women to become an astronaut in our fictional 1970's world, to twice elected President Ellen Wilson, the first woman and openly gay person to hold the office... the things we got to imagine together!? It still blows me away. Makes me emotional. The talent, love and care imbedded in this project is immense. The writers, actors and crew are truly a FAMily (started out as a cute little but stopped being a joke very quickly). I'll forever-forever be grateful I got to be a part of it. Thank you for watching, if you did (keep going, duh!) and send a postcard to the ranch every now and then!? Pam and Ellen will miss you. xo @/forallmankind_ 🌹

Every time I post about the wacky weather I’m experiencing, people are like “this is so midwestern” which is a stark reminder that people don’t know tornadoes occur outside of tornado alley. They are so common in the American southeast. A tornado took out my uncle’s office and one of the out buildings at my elementary school during spring break one year, my trampoline ended up several houses away, this was in North Carolina. In 2016 a tornado took out most of the town of Waverly Virginia and driving through the aftermath was so surreal and sad. Florida averages 66 tornadoes a year while Oklahoma averages 62. Like, the southeast deals with tornadoes, apocalyptic level thunderstorms, flooding AND hurricanes. We go through it man.

I saw your congratulations darling post and it’s so cute but it’s also got me thinking about how Ryan was so mad at Shane that first episode of Ghost Files. Lizzie said they didn’t talk for like a week?! I wonder how that was?! The tension must’ve been insane!! Lmao

OMG YESSS!!! 😭😭😭 i remember hearing about this on their panel at vidcon a while back, and then on the ghost files debrief!

i find it funny because lizzy, katie, and steven all have the vibes of, “omg not this again” when it is brought up so i just KNOW it has been a convo in that office for a while 😭

from what i gathered off of the vidcon panel, ghost files episode, and ghost files debrief, shane implied the walkie talkie was somewhere completely different than where it actually was which led a terrified ryan to have to stay longer in waverly alone 😭

when ryan returned, he was extremely upset and short with shane. they traveled back to california and got back to the office a week later. then, at the office, shane tried to talk to ryan and ryan was still very mad and they hadn’t talked before that 😭

the tension must have been OFF THE CHARTS 💀 ESPECIALLY SINCE ACCORDING TO RYAN THAT IS ONE OF THE FEW TIMES HE’S BEEN MAD AT SHANE ON SET 😭 so an argument of that degree was kind of uncharted territory. i wonder how they went about making up cause that must have been so awkward 😭

but on a sweet note, according to shane, they did have a talk about it, and they seem to have worked it out and can now make jokes about it😭🫶 good for the silliest of guys!!! besties fr

Special Delivery! Here Are 17 Curious Facts About The Cincinnati Post Office

On The Barrelhead The Cincinnati Post Office was established in 1794 and received soon after its first mail delivery, consisting of sixteen letters, two newspapers and a snuff box. All mail then was “collect on delivery” or COD – recipients paid the postage. Postage for a simple letter was 25 cents. The postmaster displayed all mail on top of a barrel at his house. Anyone wanting to collect mail paid the postmaster.

Returned To Sender Cincinnati’s first postmaster was an attorney and Revolutionary War veteran named Abner Dunn, who ran the local post office out of his house at the corner of Second and Butler streets. Postmaster Dunn died in 1795 after only a year in office and was buried in the backyard of his house, which was also the backyard of the post office. The site is now a parking lot near Sawyer Point Park.

Everybody Knew Your Business From 1799 up until Cincinnati adopted free home delivery in the late 1860s, the Post Office regularly published a list of all letters awaiting collection, so everybody in town knew when you had mail. If you ignored the published list for three months, your mail was sent to the dead letter office. The lists were extensive, occupying, in small type, as much as half a page in the Cincinnati Commercial or Gazette.

Keep It Under Your Hat Cincinnati’s fifth postmaster was an eccentric Methodist minister named William Burke, who served a very long term from 1814 to 1841. Possessed of a deep, guttural voice attributed to his lifelong addiction to chewing tobacco, Burke is remembered for personally delivering mail around town while making social calls. He kept the items to be delivered in his hat. It is said that “Father Burke,” as he was known, also delivered wise counsel to his patrons along with the mail.

Penny For Your Thoughts During the 1840s, Cincinnati experimented with home delivery, but charged for the service. Two “penny postmen” divided the downtown area, with Joseph Haskell taking the route north of Fourth Street, and Hiram Frazer delivering south of Fourth. Recipients, in addition to the standard postage, coughed up a penny for each letter delivered to their front door.

Inaugural Air Mail? The first mail at least partially delivered by air left Cincinnati on Independence Day 1835. Obviously, no airplane was involved. The pilot was the “Prince of Aeronauts,” Richard Clayton, and the vehicle was his renowned balloon, the Star of the West. Clayton ascended from an amphitheater constructed in the middle of Court Street between Race and Elm with, among other cargo, a satchel of mail intended for eastern cities. He crashed 100 miles away in Pike County and had the post office in Waverly, Ohio, send the letters the rest of the way. A trial involving an airplane in 1912 was really a gimmick in which mailbags picked up at Coney Island were dropped at the California Post Office, just 8,000 feet away.

What The Dickens? By 1825, stagecoaches had replaced pack horses as the primary vehicle for transporting mail throughout the Ohio Valley and nascent Midwest. In addition to letters and newspapers, mail coaches carried passengers and were often the most reliable means of travel available outside the East Coast. When Charles Dickens visited Cincinnati in 1842, he arrived by mail coach.

Postmaster Is The ‘Last Man’ On 6 October 1855, Cincinnati Postmaster John L. Vattier sat down to a most unusual dinner. His table was set for seven, but every place setting, excepting one, was empty. Vattier was the last of seven young Cincinnatian men who survived the 1832 cholera epidemic, bought a pricey bottle of wine, and pledged to meet each year for dinner, saving the bottle for the last of them to survive. On that evening, following the funeral of his last colleague, Vattier dined alone and drank the bottle in memory of his friends.

Postal Currency – What A Riot! As the United States struggled to finance the Civil War, an unintended consequence was a shortage of coins. The Post Office stepped up to alleviate the shortage by issuing postal currency in the form of “shinplaster” paper bills in fractions of a dollar. Public demand was so great in Cincinnati that a riot broke out at the distribution center on 5 November 1862. Although no one was seriously injured, federal troops called in to disburse the 2,000 rioters drew swords and attached bayonets to their rifles until calm was restored.

Shillito Becomes A Worthy Investment Cincinnati merchants, notably John Shillito of department store fame, devised creative ways to issue change when coins were scarce. During the coin-scarce Civil War, Shillito noted that his customers often used postage stamps as currency. Shillito crafted special circular cases to contain one-cent, three-cent or five-cent stamps and used them just like coins in providing change to customers. Today, an 1862 Shillito “encased postage” coin can bring as much as $1,250 at auction.

Hier wird Deutsch gesprochen You didn’t have to be German to manage the Cincinnati Post Office, but it didn’t hurt. Between the Civil War and the Twentieth Century, Cincinnati had 10 postmasters and fully half of them were born in Germany. Our Teutonic mail mavens were John C. Baum (1861 to 1864), Frederic John Mayer (1864 to 1866), Gustav Robert Wahle (1874 to 1878), John P. Loge (1878 to 1882) and John Zumstein (1891 to 1895).

Wayward Mail According to the Post [9 July 1891], Cincinnatians were lucky to receive any letters at all because of their incompetence at addressing envelopes. The Cincinnati Post Office reported that year 156,275 incorrectly addressed letters, 15,620 insufficiently addressed letters, 2,632 illegibly addressed letters, and 10,923 incorrectly stamped letters. In all, 279,385 pieces of wayward mail were returned to sender by exasperated Cincinnati postal clerks. The staff specifically assigned to decipher bad addresses were called “Nixie” clerks.

Babies By Mail The United States Post Office introduced parcel-post deliveries in 1913 and boasted that anything – anything at all – under 11 pounds was suitable for shipment. Taking the Post Office at its word, a Clermont County farming couple, Jesse and Matilda Beagle, made history on 25 January 1913 when they packed up their infant son, and shipped him off via parcel post to his grandparent’s house. The Associated Press claimed the Beagles were the first customers to utilize the new parcel post system in this manner.

Potatoes, Too! A Kentucky farmer did the math and determined that parcel post rates were cheaper than hiring a dray to get his potato crop to market. On 28 October 1916, the Cincinnati Post Office found 35 sacks of spuds, weighing 50 pounds each, waiting to be processed and delivered to a Court Street wholesaler. All 1,750 pounds of taters arrived at their appointed destination by mid-afternoon.

Photographic Memory Postal employees were legendary for their ability to accurately deliver mail bearing a minimal address. That skill was tested to an extreme in 1929 when an envelope arrived in Cincinnati bearing only a photograph of a building and the name of the city. A postal clerk recognized the building in the photograph. Sure enough, the letter was intended for Oliver F. Slimp, manager of the Edwards Building at 528 Walnut Street, the building pictured in the photograph pasted on the envelope.

The Porn Stops Here Federal investigators tracing the distribution of obscene materials throughout the Midwest found that most of the pornography was mailed from Cincinnati. On 28 November 1940, postal inspectors struck paydirt in a West Eighth Street warehouse, where they found 28 rolls of motion picture film, 2,000 photographs, 3,000 printed cartoons, a dozen cartons of obscene literature and related printing plates. Two Cincinnati men were arrested as a result of the raid.

End Of The Line Cincinnati’s art-deco styled Main Post Office on Dalton Street was originally constructed in 1933 as the Dalton Annex. The huge building was intentionally located adjacent to railroad lines and the new Union Terminal because so much mail was transported to Cincinnati by train. That advantage disappeared on 17 November 1974 when the iconic track-side facility received the last shipment of mail to arrive in Cincinnati by railroad.

closed starter for @waverly--erickson location: Outside Critical Roll

Matt was bringing some stuff into the shop that Brady had ordered that had arrived and he had picked up from the post office earlier that day. There wasn't too many boxes, but enough that he was making a few trips. Luckily, the was the last one and this one was a little heavier and while he was able to close his trunk, he wasn't sure about getting the door. "Excuse me, could you get the door for me?" He asked the person walking by, hoping they would.

Home for the Holidays

Part of my Christmas series from last winter.  Posted on Ao3 here.

Series: Wynonna Earp

Ship: Wayhaught

Characters: Nicole Haught, Waverly Earp, Rachel Valdez, Wynonna Earp

When the homestead first started turning into a winter wonderland, Nicole didn’t think much of it. Waverly was nothing if not enthusiastic about … well, most things, and Christmas in particular. If the decorations started going above and beyond even their usual epic proportions, well, it was Waverly, and they had a teenager in the house, and friends to host on Christmas Eve, and it was Waverly. So sure, she wasn’t sure when they got festive sheets on their bed, and the blustering wind definitely made the increase in outdoor decorations, including the waving Santa Claus, more precarious than Nicole would’ve liked.

But it wasn’t a big deal. Nothing to worry about. At first.

The closer to Christmas it got, the more enthusiastic Waverly got. Their kitchen was already filled to the brim with various holiday treats, enough that they were starting to get stored in the family room, too. Waverly had gotten mini-trees for their room and Rachel’s, and decorated them in themes; nutcrackers for her and Nicole, and reindeer for Rachel. And she was trying to get them to do Christmas activities. There was a movie marathon, then the themed trivia night at Shorty’s, and then there was the night she has them drive around town to look at the few houses that had lights up together.

It came to a head on the eighteenth of December, when Rachel slammed a box of hot chocolate in front of Nicole. “You have to fix this,” she said urgently, her eyes bugging out of her head.

“Um, I have to fix hot chocolate? Why?”

“Waverly got rid of all my kombucha and she’s been pushing this on me. And cider, which, you know, fine, but eggnog too! My room looks like Santa’s workshop, she’s making me wear this,” she tugged on her sweater, which had a several candy canes stitched on it, “and she’s pushing cookies on me every time she sees me. It’s getting weird.”

“Oh, come on, it’s not that bad. Waverly makes great cookies.”

Rachel narrowed her eyes and stuck her chin out in challenge. “Uh-huh. She wants us to go caroling.”

“I don’t want to do that,” Nicole admitted, a sudden sour taste in her mouth at the thought of going around and singing to all her constituents, who mostly tolerated her on the best days.

“And she said when she’s done here, she’s going to start decorating your office. She said it wasn’t festive enough.” Nicole gulped and, likely sensing her weakness, Rachel delivered the killing blow. “You know that Santa that plays Jingle Bell Rock every time you walk past it? She said she wants to get one for you. She thinks they’re funny.”

Nicole was just as bug-eyed now. “Right, okay, I will talk to her.”

“Good. Do it soon. And I want my kombucha back!” With that, Rachel huffed off to her room, leaving Nicole with the dilemma of how to ask her wife why she was being too excited about Christmas.

*

Two more days passed as Nicole grappled with how to bring up the subject. It didn’t help that it seemed like Waverly couldn’t sit still. She’d thankfully put her plans for the station on hold; unfortunately it seemed like it was so she could turn her attention to Shorty’s, much to Nedley’s distress. The bar now had poinsettias all over to “brighten up the place” and she’d replaced the tap handles with little Santa Clauses.

Finally, Nicole caught her in the kitchen first thing in the morning, humming to herself as she rolled out a block of brown dough. “What are you doing?”

“Oh, hi, sweetie pie!” She greeted cheerfully, dusting the top of the dough with flour. “I’m making some more gingerbread cookies. You can never have enough, you know.”

“You’ve made, like, six dozen gingerbread cookies already. That’s definitely enough.”

Waverly's smile was so wide it almost looked painful. “But these ones are for Nedley! Look, I found this little beer mug cookie cutter. Isn’t it so cute?”

She held it up for Nicole to admire, and she had to admit, “Yes, it is very cute. But I don’t think Nedley really wants more gingerbread cookies, since we already gave him a box of them and all. I think … I think maybe we need to talk.”

The smile dropped off Waverly’s face, and she turned back to her dough. “Talk about what?”

“I don’t know, but there’s obviously something. You’re on some kind of Christmas spree.”

“I’ve always loved Christmas, you know that.” She sprinkled more flour on the dough, to the point that Nicole could barely see the dough anymore.

“Yeah, but it’s more than that. You’re obsessed.” She squinted down at her wife. “Wait, this isn’t a possession thing, is it? Like some weird holiday ghost or whatever?”

“Of course not. And I’m just excited for Christmas,” Waverly insisted, reaching for the rolling pin. Nicole saw her opportunity and grabbed the pin first. “Hey!” Waverly tried to take it back, so she held it up high over her head, and after one very adorable attempt to jump up and get it, Waverly settled on glaring at her instead. “Nicole, give it back.”

“Not until you talk to me,” she insisted, holding the rolling pin aloft and giving her best Sheriff Haught serious business expression.

Waverly crossed her arms and her face pinched together. “Fine. I miss, Wynonna, okay?”

Nicole tilted her head, confused. “Okay. I get that. But she’ll be home in a couple days.”

“She said she was coming back before the end of the summer. And then she said she’d stop by for Halloween.” Waverly sighed. “She left before, Nicole. She took a really long time to come back. What if she doesn’t … what if …” She broke off, blinking rapidly.

“Oh, Waverly.” The arm holding the rolling pin slowly lowered as she realized that this had been eating at Waverly for months, and she’d missed it.

“It’s stupid. I know she’ll come back. I mean, she literally has to, she’s the heir. We’re gonna need her some point.” Waverly dashed tears from her eyes. “But I don’t want her to just have to come here. I want her to want to come here, y’know?”

“You mean you want her to want to come back for you,” Nicole translated gently.

She shrugged, eyes downcast. “Is that so wrong?”

“No, of course not. Come here.” She finally put down the rolling pin and pulled Waverly into her arms, cradling her gently. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know.”

“I should have told you,” Waverly admitted, laying her head on Nicole’s chest. “It’s just so silly. I don’t want to be worried about this. I shouldn’t be worried about it.”

“Hey, it totally makes sense. Wynonna is absolutely going to come back, but I get it. She has priors.”

Waverly laughed shakily, but didn’t disagree.

“Do you want to make more cookies?”

“Maybe. But not right now.” Waverly sunk into the hug, nuzzling her nose into Nicole’s skin, and Nicole laid her cheek on the top of her head, and they stood there for long minutes, holding each other in their kitchen.

*

On Christmas Eve, there was still no sign of the wayward sister, but the preparations for their Christmas party went forward anyway. Rachel was helping Nedley and Billy fix some bulbs that had burned out on the garland out front, still clearly weary of being left alone with Waverly too long. Jeremy was on his way, and Mercedes had said she’d try to stop by later.

Waverly and Nicole were sorting out the food, which Waverly finally admitted she’d made too much of. “I don’t know what I was thinking,” she said, staring at the rows of festive treats, far too much for the six to nine people they were expecting. “We could feed an army, if an army ate chocolate dipped pretzels with red and green sprinkles.”

“Maybe we’ll send Jeremy home with some stuff, he’s kinda got an army.” Nicole made a face as she sipped the eggnog. “Did you not make any with alcohol?”

“Rachel and Billy can’t have boozy eggnog, so I skipped it.”

“Baby, nobody wants eggnog if it’s not spiked.”

“Well, it’s a good thing I’m here then. I brought rum.”

Waverly’s mouth dropped into a perfect little ‘o.’ She turned slowly, and Nicole could just see her profile as her face lit up at the sight of her sister, standing at the front door with a liquor bottle in her hand. “Wynonna!”

She ran down the hall and threw herself in her sister’s arms, sending her stumbling back a few steps. “Hey, you’re gonna make me drop the booze,” Wynonna complained, even as she clutched Waverly tight.

“Shut up,” Waverly said, voice muffled by Wynonna’s sweater.

“Well, it’s better than the shotgun I got the last time I came back to town,” Wynonna allowed. “Merry Christmas, baby girl.”

“Merry Christmas, Wynonna.” Nicole greeted, when it was clear Waverly was too overcome to say anything else.

“Ginger bitch!” Wynonna dragged herself away from her little sister to give her a hug with the arm not holding the alcohol. “I missed you.”

“Missed you, too.” She frowned as they pulled away. “Wait, where’s Doc?”

“Jeremy pulled up at the same time that we did.”

“Ah.”

“Yeah, they’re gonna be a minute.” She turned back to Waverly and her smile softened. “And we brought someone to meet you.”

Waverly frowned. “What are you …”

The door opened, and Waverly’s half-formed question was answered when Doc came walked in, Jeremy hanging off of him on one side, while in the opposite arm he held a little dark haired girl. “Hello, Waverly, Sheriff Haught. Merry Christmas to you both.” He hitched the little girl up and smiled down at her. “I’d like you to reintroduce you to your niece.”

*

It turned out that Alice was the reason Wynonna hadn’t been back for a while. She and Doc had been easing into a relationship with their daughter, and Wynonna had freaked out and clammed up instead of talking to Waverly about it. Which wasn’t that surprising, honestly.

Waverly filled Nicole in as they stood together in the doorway to the kitchen, removed enough from the party to talk. “She says that they don’t want her to be here too much. Not while she’s so young. And Doc’s not ready to be back, anyway.”

“Makes sense,” she replied, not adding anything about how annoyed she was at the two of them for not letting Waverly know the real reason her sister had stayed away. She’d seen the animated conversation between the sisters on the porch through the window, and she was pretty sure Waverly had pushed Wynonna into a post at one point. Probably Waverly had already let Wynonna know herself how crappy her handling of the situation had been. No need to pile on. At least not while it was still Christmas,

“So, yeah. They’ll probably stay through New Year’s and then take her back to Montana.”

“Maybe you should go with them.”

Waverly frowned. “Nicole, what …”

“Just for a little while. I’m pledged to stay here, not you, and I know there’s a lot out there you want to see.” Nicole picked up her hand and kissed the back of it sweetly. “You deserve to have an adventure or two outside of Purgatory. You can take Rachel, have mother-daughter and aunt-niece bonding time. Maybe look at colleges, we’re really behind on that stuff.”

Waverly pulled Nicole’s hand to her heart and held it with both of hers, smiling sweetly up at her. “You, Nicole Rayleigh Haught, are the best wife in the world. And I maybe I will go traveling with Wynonna one day. But right now I’m pretty darn happy being here with you. Okay?”

Nicole smiled, big and sappy. “Okay,” she agreed, before bending down to kiss Waverly.

“Keep it in your pants, Haught!” Wynonna bellowed from the coach.

Waverly rested her head against NIcole’s and sighed. “That I didn’t miss.”

She giggled and stole one last quick kiss. “Merry Christmas, Waverly Earp.”

She would kiss you passionately in the moment.

She would comfort you in the most exhausting moments.

She would give you compliments on how beautiful you look.

She would punch a douchebag for you.

She would be smart and wear a bulletproof vest. 

She would be a good listener and let you say all the things that you have on your mind.

As long as you want her, she would be by your side through everything.

She would always ask for your consent.........

and still be gentle with you.

She would notice your distress and immediately try to make you feel at ease.

She would protect you without hesitation.

She would shoot anybody for you in order to keep you safe.

She would look at you like this and make your heart flutter.

She would let you know how you make her feel in the most intimate moments.

Even when she’s drunk, she would be a sap and gush about you. 

Even if she did lie and hurt you, she would never have bad intentions. She’s human and we all make mistakes.

And no matter what, she would always open the door for you at anytime.

Even when she’s been beaten and hurt, she would find the strength to save you if you were ever in danger. And that would be her first priority above anything else.

And she will remind you that she has never loved anyone the way that she loves you, if there was a chance she would not make it out alive.

She would go, wherever you go.

Because in any universe.......

You and her are soulmates.

To her, you are extraordinary. 

In the end, she’ll do anything for family. Because that’s what matters the most.

Seriously, Nicole is the best girlfriend ever!!! And I’m sure she’ll have great moments in Season 3! Until next time, Earpers!

[edit: check out the link at the bottom of the post for more buzzfeed unsolved au content :)]

hinata and kageyama:

90% of the show is them yelling and nobody watches it with earphones on

both of them believe in ghosts but that doesn't mean they want to see one

hinata will literally go to the bathroom five times before going to the spooky house and kageyama gets mad at him for it but there is Fear in his eyes

producer: 'were you scared?'

kageyama: 'pfft, no'

cameraman: *points camera down to show that kageyama's legs are shaking*

they also bring a shit ton of food with them when they stay the night at a place and they'll deadass be eating while talking about the history of the place

‘this house *crunch crunch* was built in *crunch crunch* 1972'

the producers tell them to stop bringing snacks but fans of the show love it

sometimes they'll shoot a mini mukbang video

SPICY, BARBECUE POTATO FRIES | Mukbang at the Waverly Hills Asylum'

hinata: *looking up how to do a seance on wikihow* it says we gotta offer some food for the spirit

kageyama: *spills the doritos he was eating on the table

*after 20 minutes*

kageyama: fuck this

hinata: *starts eating the doritos*

producer: ...

the ghosts: ..................the, audacity

tsukishima and yamaguchi

pretty much a ryan and shane duo right here

yamaguchi: we'll be visiting this place as part of our ongoing investigation on the question, are ghosts real?

tsukishima: *shakes head*

yamaguchi just wants to see the look of fear in tsukishima’s eyes at least once

yamaguchi: *hears a random thump sound* fUCk tSuKkI a gHoSt!!!

tsukishima: *sees a chair being tossed across the room* huh, the wind is pretty strong today

he likes to stick his head into attics to scare yamaguchi

yamaguchi always carries a water gun full of holy water

yamaguchi: i have holy water with me and i'm not afraid to use it! but i'm also sorry you had to die such a horrible death i hope you find peace soon

tsukishima: *walks into a basement that is supposedly a portal to hell* fuckin’ take me already

so many 'yamaguchi being an angel and tsukishima being a demon for 10 mins' video compilations 

daichi and sugawara

a very chaotic buzzfeed unsolved duo

suga, who is satan’s child himself, and daichi, who needs a raise

daichi: hello everyone! this is daichi,

sugawara: and suga

daichi: and you’re watching...

sugawara: jackass!!

daichi:...buzz...buzzfeed unsolved??

daichi started out being afraid of almost every place he had to walk into but after having to deal with the chaotic mess that is suga for an entire season, he no longer Feels Fear

this is because suga will deadass film a tiktok dance video no matter where he is

daichi: suga, someone was literally axe-murdered there

suga: *dancing along to ‘I’m a Savage’ or whatever that tiktok song is called*

daichi: *at cameraman* do you see what i have to deal with every day?’

suga is only genuinely scared by ghosts when his followers point out that a ghost was caught on camera in one of his tiktok videos

suga: *watching the video*

that was the end of suga’s tiktok career

tanaka and nishinoya:

another bunch of loud bois but they are much louder than kageyama and hinata

they’re very much into proving the existence of cryptids and are most known for that episode they spent hunting bigfoot by dressing up to look like bigfoot

tanaka: ‘you know that thing they do in cartoons where they stack on top of each other under a coat so they look like just one big guy?’

nishinoya: ‘ryuu i love you so fucking much’

other guy there who is also trying to catch bigfoot: oMg ItS bIgFooT *takes picture with the blurriest camera he could find*

both of them are very committed in their investigation of the supernatural and they’re very unconventional approaches

nishinoya: *lying on the ground in a creepy basement* EAT MY HEART DEMONS! WE’LL PUT THE VIDEO ON YOUTUBE!

tanaka: *takes out a spirit board* *spells out O-M-A-E  W-A  M-O  S-H-I-N-D-E-I-R-U*

ghost: *spells out N-A-N-I*

tanaka and nishinoya: *screaming*

kuroo and kenma: 

kuroo deadass flirts with any ghost or demon they encounter and kenma would sleep over in a haunted asylum for ten bucks

kuroo: *sidles up to the infamous annabelle doll* hey there little lady, what’s a pretty thing like you doing in a locked, glass case with a ‘don’t touch’ sign like this?

kenma: kuroo, there’s a demon inside her

kuroo: well, i’m a bit of a demon myself

kenma: she attempted to choke a guy in his sleep

kuroo: oooh, choking. i can get behind that...

kenma: *looks at camera*

the demon in annabelle: d-daddy??

“kuroo flirting with demons and kenma looking at the camera for 5 minutes”

kuroo’s actually a huge fucking scaredy cat and kenma secretly tries to push him over the edge

kenma: *plays computer-generated screams of the damned on his phone*

kuroo: WHAT WAS THAT?

kenma: ...I didn’t hear anything *looks at the camera as if he was on the office and plays the sound again*

kuroo: i was too scared to close my eyes last night

kenma: i was actually able to catch a bunch of pokemon last night. who knew the winchester mansion is such a hotspot

producer: did you catch any evidence of ghosts?

kenma: ...i caught a gastly

bokuto and akaashi:

bokuto is a die-hard mothman fan and akaashi is emotionally involved in proving that ghosts exist he will stop at nothing

akaashi: all of the evidence on the shadow figures and orbs spotted in this place can only suggest one thing...

bokuto: mothman did it

akaashi: no

bokuto: yes

akaashi: mothman is literally five states away

bokuto: he has wings

during their individual investigations, akaashi has already foreseen how bokuto is going to react

producer: it’s been quiet for a while. do you think bokuto’s no longer scared?

akaashi: oh no. he should be screaming right about now...

bokuto, inside the haunted house: *screams and waves his flashlight around*

akaashi:  and then he’s gonna call for help

bokuto: AKAAAAAASHIIIIIIIIII

*few hours later*

bokuto: i saw my life flash before my eyes in there

akaashi: *muttering incoherently near his ‘evidence wall’ full of blurry pictures and red string*

bokuto: i must’ve stared into the abyss at one point

akaashi: this place is fucking haunted. can i go back? it’s for sale right?

ushijima and tendou:

ushijima’s knowledge of ghosts is based on hollywood movies and tendou has exorcised places just by vibing

ushijima: *brings out a pottery wheel* if there are any ghosts in here, you know what to do

he’s actually never watched Ghost he just knows That One Scene

tendou: *naruto-running through the goatman bridge with a go-pro strapped to his head* IT’S MY BRIDGE GOATMAN, IT’S MY BRIDGE!!!

the Goatman Himself: i’ve never felt so fucking scared in my entire fucking life

ushijima believes that chanting in latin will Summon the Ghosts and tendou takes full advantage of that

tendou: *handing ushijima a slip of paper* here, apparently this will summon a full-bodied apparition

ushijima: thanks *begins chanting*

producer, interviewing tendou to the side: okay, what did you make him read this time?

tendou: i typed out ‘let me eat your ass’ in latin on google translate and went from there

cameraman: *zooms in on ushijima chanting*

the ghost haunting the castle: *is confused in French*

in the end neither of them get evidence on ghosts

ushijima: well, we'll have better luck next time

tendou: maybe even revisit this place ?

the ghosts: i know i'm dead but this is the first time i've been scared for my life

[officer-wayhaught]

Ugh I just can’t even, PSA: Waverly Earp and Nicole Haught are fucking goals. Wayhaught is end game and I don’t care who says otherwise.

[rose-of-pollux]

5 and 7 about any and all your HH fics, plus 8? :o)

5. What do you wish someone would ask you about [insert fic]? Answer it now! I honestly wish someone would ask about what ideas I have for an HH/MFU crossover, because the scope of ideas is incredible--it's not far-fetched to believe that the Heroes would still be tracking down war criminals in the 60s, and of course U.N.C.L.E. is involved in that kind of thing (there've been MFU eps about that specifically). Illya and Carter are both pyromaniacs (though Illya is certainly more of a quiet personality, you can tell he's eager when Waverly gives him the go ahead to blow up a THRUSH satrap), and, in my fic 'verse, they've already crossed paths, when Carter met a very young Illya when Danzig was helping him out of Kyiv (Illya would've been 9 or 10 at the time) and Carter would be thrilled to see how well Illya did for himself in spite of what he went through. Napoleon knows LeBeau and Newkirk because of frequenting LeBeau's Parisian restaurant and is gobsmacked to learn they were once spies, and he gets along with them, as well as Kinch, fairly easily. I think Napoleon would be cautious around Hogan until he gets to know him personally as Napoleon's experiences with military officers tends to be negative, but once he realizes how unorthodox Hogan is, they get along.

7. Any worldbuilding you’re particularly proud of? For my Hogan's Heroes fics specifically, I am proud of my explanation for "what happened to Kinch" -- that he was allowed to escape to London with Olsen to take down an enemy communications network in there. Also Hogan's aforementioned post-war mission for the team to track down war criminals--I really want to do more with that idea, including the MFU crossover.

8. What song would make a great fic (to either write or read)? Bon Jovi's "It's My Life" has directly inspired 3 of my fics in 3 different fandoms (Scooby-Doo, BTTF, and Hogan's Heroes)
