IT ONLY GETS WORSE

[ah0yh0y]

i deserve crow time to be real in my life thank you

[bingobongobonko]

funny thang for a oneshot i had wit friends, and tis BEEN in my head.... lets just say. They killed my friend miriam they're cruel and fucked up.............. but also said woman was feeding off the life force of a child. its a whole thing man. GOOD STORY THOUGH I MISS HER.

my friend played freak, we named it, it's scray ass mf that can clone himself and got attached to the girl, and also homophobic i dont know why he hated me so much. i couldnt possibly imagine why. tongue in cheek but also homophobic cuz augustus was talking about his husband and he was like. a little bitch......

my bf played mint!!!!!!!!!!! funnay minotaur, seemed kind of sweet but my character and him started a feud and he tried 2 kill me. he changed as a person (derogatory)

the dm played the little girl, we kind of just ran into her and she needed our help (and i was kidnapped into joining) but turns out she's dead and has been dead for a while now, but miriam was using the body to feed off the remaining life force, thus shackling the little girl 2 the material plane.... and also they played miriam, said witch who did this and shes my best friend im sorry. we bonded. we had something REAL.

and then i played augustus, funny warlock dwarf who just wanted to get wine from the local village and got lost, before getting yanked to help complete strangers....... and he's also VERY catty and judgmental but really silly about it i promise!!!!!!!!!!!

+miriam and augustus talking about their love life (actual scene in oneshot)

Hc i have:

Eddies favorite Fairytale is alice in Wonderland, he think its neat and shows you can have fun while being not normal. He just hides it cause its embarrassed for him, like scray looking golden retriever metalhead likes fairytales. (Just some, cause other are just crazy)

Steve findes out and he findes it just cute, like he will keep his secret but also gift him merch from alice in wonderland or things they reminds him of them for eddie?

Also i love you are your writing, its great and very lovely. Hope you don't mind this info dump :)

You are so correct about this!

I imagine a lot of it too is just, Eddie doesn't really have many people to talk to about it anyway? Like of course he has the band and Hellfire, but none of them really seem like avid readers beyond the nerd classics. So yes he has people to talk to about music and D&D, but in terms of the niche stories he likes?

But then Steve comes along, and he never really read much as a kid. His dad always pushed him straight to sports, and it wasn't like his parents dissuaded him from reading but they definitely talked about how "nerds and geeks" were the people who read all the time. So Steve...didn't, really (plus I just really hc him as undiagnosed dyslexic but that's a conversation for another post).

So Eddie casually mentions Alice in Wonderland one day, and even gets a little embarrassed by it. He's used to Steve blinking confusedly over LoTR references so he kind of just tries to change the subject, but Steve's fascinated. Eddie tells him all about it, and Steve falls in love with the excited gleam in Eddie's eyes, the permanent smile in his voice, the wild gestures his hands make.

Steve asks Eddie to read it to him, on the nights they're both kept awake by memories of the Upside Down and the real-life nightmares they'd faced. They curl up together in bed, sometimes next to each other, sometimes with Steve's head laying in Eddie's lap so Eddie's free hand can nestle in his hair. And Eddie reads one of his favorite stories to one of his favorite people, feeling more like he belonged than he ever had before.

(Also thank you so much?? I love talking about these characters so please! Never worry about me being bothered, I won't be c:)

he's nearly sixteen, and his gang has to eat. he has long since stopped feeling bad for doing what he needs to survive ; it's almost fun now, like a game to see just how far he can go. it's a challenge to see what all he can get away with. but it's not only about his own survival and preservation anymore -- he has other people counting on him, now. people he's saved, people he has seen for who they truly are when the rest of society has cast them out without a second glance.

abandoned by their parents and the people who were supposed to love and protect them, ace took the responsibility of leader. if the world wanted to treat them like lowlife criminals, then criminals they would become. and they'd be damn good at it, too.

despite their power in numbers, the rest of his gang were outside the alley to keep watch or to scavenge for scraps. ace had suggested that they rob the nearest convenient store, but they didn't have as many larger crimes under their belt yet, and with townsville's fairly persistent offenses being a common issue, the last convenient store that was held up had a cashier who retaliated with a gun behind the counter. they simply weren't equipped to deal with bullets ( yet ).

as was planned, ace did his duty of hiding in the shadows of the alley, using the dark corners and the rain as his camouflage. like a lamb to the slaughter, eventually the sounds of footsteps splashing through puddles near. in a flash as quick as lightning, ace pounces and grabs the unsuspecting man, using the element of surprise to his advantage and pulling the stranger in the alley and up against the wall. the tiny knife -- a small thing that ace scored in the junkyard -- did its part to terrify the man while it's pressed into his neck. ace's grin permeates through the dark, all fangs and determination.

ace demands the mans wallet with a sneer. the other might've had tears in his eyes, or maybe that was the rain. the gang leader couldn't be sure. he could only think about how fancy this guys shoes were. he must've had money.

but even with a blade to his neck, the man whimpers something about being a single parent. i have two kids. my youngest, she's sick, he says. it's futile behind his shades, but ace still rolls his eyes. he replies that he asked for the mans wallet, not his sob story. with trembling hands, he brings out the brown leather billfold and places it in ace's expectant hand. he maneuvers it open with one hand, keeping the knife pressed threateningly against flesh. not enough to break, just enough to keep the man in place.

with only a quick glance, ace can see multiple cards and dollar bills. the wallet itself feels heavy, and he can practically hear the "ka-ching!" ringing happily through his ears. he's about to release the man when something else in the wallet catches his eye : pictures. they’re of the stranger and two children, one boy and one girl. the girl in particularly looks tired and strained, despite her small smile. there's a sadness in everyone's eyes. ace feels his smirk deflate.

the wallet is thrust against the man's chest with a scowl. " get outta my face. an' don't come around here again, if you know what's good for ya. " he lets up from his hold against the knife. for a moment, the man doesn't move. stunned, perhaps. ace jerks his head towards the alley’s opening. " what, you want me to change my mind ? am-scray ! " that seems to have jarred the man back into action. he takes his wallet and runs off, slipping on the wet sidewalk and scrambling to stand back up. ace watches him go and only feels angry at himself.

when he meets back up with the gang, snake asks if he was able to steal any money or goods from unsuspecting jerks. ace says he only tried one, but he wasn't about to rob someone who was broke. his stomach rumbles that night as he falls asleep.

let’s play gore screaming show (part 1)

so i’ve been curious about this game since...before i was old enough to play it, probably. i listened to the OP pretty frequently and would try looking up info on the story now and again. problem is, it came out 16 years ago with no sign of an english release. i’d also heard rumors that black cyc games are programmed weird and impossible to insert text into, or something? so basically i gave up on it and moved on to greener more euphoric pastures

UNTIL NOW

it FINALLY got an english release in november 2022, and i found this out...on the last day of a JAST sale. so i figured, fuck it, no time like the present

which brings us here today. is this game good? no clue! is it gory? most likely! but nothing can faze me after euphoria, right? ......r-right?

WARNING: THIS GAME IS XTREMELY SCRAY. VIOWER EXCRETION IS ADVISD

due to tumblr’s bullshit TOS im gonna be heavily censoring scenes. you’ll have to play it yourself to get those. but also it should be fine if i post just certain key phrases from them. it wouldn’t be an eroge playthrough without “The meatus...!” after all

this OP kicks ass, highly recommended. 18+ warning though for some of the included CGs. ...not sure how it survived on youtube for 14 years

okay before i start im just gonna talk about what i know about the story, i.e. what little information i’ve gleaned from my “research”

so the plot is this dude moves back to the town he grew up in and lives with his hot older cousin. he will probably fuck her. sorry. don’t kill the messenger. he reunites with his childhood friends who are all girls with color-coded names. he will probably fuck them. for some reason there's an ossan with a gun. he will probably fuck him?

so whoever you try to date, you get harassed by this purple-haired little girl and her creepy murder clown buddy and you have to stop them from killing your three weed-smoking girlfriends

also that caution tape says "delicious"

this boob lady’s in the OP too but idk who she is

then there’s a scene of a little girl going home. it goes back and forth between this and boob lady telling the story

oh, there's the clown guy

hey it’s the groupchat

so boob lady’s going "ohh everyone's looking at me im getting fucked by eyeballs" while the little girl talks to clown guy. who then eats her. cronch

hey look, it's our protagonist...'s POV!

...or not? looks like the actual narration is in 3rd person instead of 1st, like most VNs ive played. huh.

also, only three years? i got the impression it was longer than that

this road sure looks familiar. any little girl bones around here? conspicuous bloodstains?

h-haha, you sure it's supposed to be red-brown?

i missed capping it but he crashes into purple girl on his bike and she says "welcome home :)" but when he tries to apologize she's not there

and suddenly he's in a different place... and then he gets a flat tire

AND he's late for high sch--COLLEGE

on his first day, too

his teacher's like "how tf did you get lost when you used to live here?" it's those damn warp panels, man

all my teachers just talked to me like i was braindead and/or a toddler

he will probably fuck him

short king

red one sighted!!!

here's the blue one but kyoji doesn't remember her name

and finally, the yellow one. apparently she has huge boobs. i guess she's not a childhood friend but used to live where he went before, and conveniently also transferred here

it's normal for legal adults to live alone

school sux, come get some yoofies

we've got our...awkwardly shoehorned first choice! from top to bottom, it's: 

red

blue (first playthrough) 

yellow

😳😅💍 for writer's ask please :D

Thanks for asking! 😁

😳 - your scariest line

Hmmm... I think (one of) my scariest lines probably was this line from my Daryl story 'Fate Can Be A Lousy Traitor'... 🤔

He leaned over with a wince, wanted to kiss me - but just before our lips could meet, the door of the trailer sprung open with a squeal, revealing a man with short black hair, a leather jacket and a baseball bat in his hands.

Because everyone who saw the Walking Dead and watched this scene in the last episode of season six knows what is about to happen. The line itself may be not super scray, but situation is. 🙈

😅 - a line that made you feel second hand embarrassment

These lines here, I'd say...

But just as I wanted to trace my hands lower to the hem of Loki's grey sweatpants, the door to my quarters suddenly got ripped open. "Lady Y/N! You need to- By the Norns!" Thor's voice boomed through the room, making me jump off of Loki quickly and scrambling to cover myself.

It's a line from 'Caught'. I think nobody like to get caught in such a situation, so... 🙈

💍- your most underrated story

That's a tough one... 🤔 Perhaps the Robert Laing oneshot I once wrote. 'I got a Man - but I want You'. 🤔 I personally love this story very much. It was one of those moments in writing, where everything just fell into place. 😊

I hope my answers are okay. 🙈

dark urge rework

basically what if instead of being a bhalspawn the dark urge was The Ring of Winter

-sentient chotic evil ring. transmits emotion to the wearer. can hear and see around it for 60 ft. it just want chaos and harm in the world. while worn the ring is undetectable, it and the wearer are immune from divination and scraying magics. the wearer can not age. they are immune to cold. it comes with a bunch of magic and spells. it can only be destroyed by the summer queen and archfey.

it'd be better long- I don't have an outline but this could mean the character is tav and the white dragon born we all know and love is still in the story without having to 'play' as them- could be fun, and I think this has a ton of fun interactions with astarions story, but just a cool tav idea pun intended.

that's the whole bunny..... XD

Plot Bunnies Scampering In! Dark Urge is the Ring of Winter?

A deep lore plot bunny has made its way to the surface with this one! A fascinating idea, and one that might take a little more research.

This really would suit a game-parallel or game-rewrite longfic - how would a chaotic evil ring react to the events of the game? Is there any way it might fall off by the end, and if it does would someone else pick it up?

An exciting and intriguing plot bunny that might run rings around you, but do you think you could find it a home with plenty of rich lore to keep it entertained?

Gleam and Grow 1

Not the Halloween season but the first part of a Scray Godmother fic. That's going to be Skully/Harry in the end.

Scary God Mother had expected a nice, quiet night to herself. She had boiled up some tea in her mini cauldron and was about to sit down and watch the newest episode of one of her favorite shows. A nice, chilly nice to relax.

The sudden return of Skully so early in the evening was a surprise. 

"Skully, you're home early." Scary God Mother said. "I thought you were on a date with-"

"With my ex?'" Skully interrupted, clearly sulking.

As if the words alone didn't tell Scary God Mother that something was wrong, the way that Skully's bones seem so very well... bone tired, told her so.

"Ex? On no, Skully what happened?" Scary God Mother asked.

Skully angrily and dramatically threw his hat onto the near by couch. He sighed deeply before launching into his story.

"I went over to my ex's house right? They were still getting ready so I hung around a bit. I had only been waiting about five minutes when I found it. That there was a different skeleton in his closet!" Skully cried.

Scary God Mother gasped.

"Oh, I'm so sorry Skully!" Scary God Mother said. "That had to be so painful."

"It was. For both me and him. I may have slapped him and broke a few things on the way out." Skully said.

"Naturally." Scary God Mother said. "I'm really, really sorry that they turned out to be a cheater."

Skully sunk down onto the couch next to his hat and his hands to his face.

"Every time I think I find a nice guy, it turns out he's either a cheater or there is something massively wrong with them." Skully grumbled. "I don't know what to do. The dating scene around here is so dead."

Scary God Mother sat on the couch next to Skully. She put a comforting hand on Skully's shoulder. If Skully had eyeballs they would be red from tears. He could still make sniffling crying noises though. 

It was a hard thing for Scary God Mother to hear coming from her dear broom mate. And as was in her nature, she wanted to fix this somehow. Of course matters of the heart were so much harder to fix. One could not just wave a wand and repair a relationship. Well, she might be able to but that would be immoral.

She was thinking about anything she could possibly do. Anything that might even take a bit of the sting of this hurt away. And then she thought of it. She had a plan. One that might be considered a little bit risky. But she also couldn't stand to see Skully like this.

"I might have something that may be able to help you out." Scary God Mother said

She moved off the couch, leaving Skully to sit there and wallow, hugging one of the couch cushions close to himself. 

"I'm willing to try anything at this point." Skully said.

Scary God Mother had to think search one of her trunks thoroughly for some time. Throwing various objects that occupied the trunk but were not what she sought, over her shoulder. A ball of spider web silk, a spiders molt, candles of various colors and sizes. There was a massive mess but eventually she pulled out what she was looking for.

"Here it is!" she cried, holding up what Skully could see as a Jack o' lantern shaped charm.

All of this searching and a future clean up over a cheap jack'o lantern charm.

The charm didn't look to be anything that unusual. It wasn't really. In all truth, it wasn't that unusual as it was part of a set of old decorations she had one year. They had been from her first year in this house and when the old decorations had gotten ruined during a particularly wild Halloween party. 

The decorations had not been up the next year, the year that Skully had moved in as a broom mate. So he would not recognize the object. That didn't mean though that Skully would think it was anything special at first glance.

Skully leaned his face closer to the charm to get a better look.

"What is that suppose to do?" Skull asked.

"This, Skully, is suppose to help you find your true love." Scary God Mother said.

Skully gave a short laugh.

"It looks like you got it from the dollar store." Skully said.

Scary God Mother glared at Skully.

"You want my help or not?" she asked.

Skully put up his hands.

"Okay, okay. If it'll make me forgot my ex for awhile, fine. I'll give it a try." Skully said.

With that Scary God Mother set to trying to sell this story. Part of that involved a lot of improve on her part. She started by holding the charm up to the light and she started to recite something. She was good with coming up with rhymes on the spot.

"The charm wil gleam. It will glow. The one for you it will show." she finished her so called spell with.

That done she handed the charm to Skully.

"Now what?" Skully asked.

"The charm will let you know when you find that person for you." Scary Godmother said.

Skully still did not look as if he bought all of this. But he kept the charm.

"Thank you." he said to his tomb mate. "I hope that does help out."

"I'm sure it will. For now... do you want to watch trashy reality t.v shows and laugh at other peoples drama?" Scary Godmother asked.

Skully laughed. The first laugh she heard from him tonight.

"Oh, you know me TOO well." he said.

As they watched their shows, Scary Godmother noted that Skully was looking over the charm time to time. She hoped that this would be the tiny bit of confidence that Skully needed to find that person for him.

(BORA GET OFF MY INSTAGRAM THIS IS SCRAY IM A DORK LOOK AWAY! SHE LOOKED AT ALL MY STORIES!!! 😂

@olloollo This seemed to be a longer answer or digression to your question than made sense for the comments.

I find Machen and author who more confounds me than frightens. Take The White People for example. Frequently touted as a top tier scray story form the likes of Lovecraft to some well respected friends. In this light I have read it several times and I don't get it. I do not find it scary in the least. I do however find it to be a most convincingly realistic description of communing the fae.

Pardon if my recollection of the following is a bit vague but it has been some years since I've read much Machen but form what I recall a number of the stories concern men or a man conducting their occult or mad sciencey explorations using a woman as the conduit for or direct object of their experiments. And while these men may be undone it seems this is much more about having trespassed into the forbidden. I never get the impression of much concern for these women and what had been done to them. Perhaps something is there and I missed it or perhaps its just not the story(ies) I wanted it to be.

On the other hand his translation of Casanova's imprisonment and escape is an absolute delight and entertains on each re-read.

•PARANORMAL STORY•

I was studying late at night probably around 4am whit my window open so the smoke of my incense would leave my room dragging whit it the negative energy and whit it leaving a trail full of my smell,my energy,my essence…

probably not the smarter choice to light candles at night when u live on the woods

My head phone got silent for a second as my music changed that’s when I heard it for the first time, a hallow? A scream? A dog barking? No it sounded like a scream or a copy of one but it looked far away but it felt too close way to close…

I chose to ignore it but then there it happen a second time that’s when I noticed the birds had gone quite so did the sheep near my home that’s when I start to play attention…

As I got up to look closely I heard it again…

This time was to close to my house way to close I froze there thinking all the animals that could make that sound loud like a big dog barking but sounded like a human scream a really deep pitched scream deep enough it couldn’t be human…

It was then the name popped on my head as I closed my window in panic and turned off the candles…

That night I finally knew what lurks at night…

Never whistle…

Never call for it…

NEVER AWSNER IT
